00:39.020 --> 00:43.110
I'm not sure anyone 
needs that much money.

00:43.540 --> 00:45.280
Sure we do.

00:46.020 --> 00:48.550
<i>How did I end up here?</i>

00:52.010 --> 00:57.440
<i>We attended the same middle school, 
but we were in different classes.</i>

00:57.440 --> 01:02.180

01:02.540 --> 01:04.450

03:39.660 --> 03:41.370
Oh, really?

03:41.370 --> 03:43.320
Y-Y-Yes, really.

03:43.320 --> 03:45.280
Then it'll sell for a lot.

03:45.280 --> 03:46.880
Thanks, buddy.

03:47.860 --> 03:49.770
I think we'll help ourselves.

03:50.240 --> 03:50.920
Oh?

03:50.920 --> 03:51.890
Huh?

03:52.350 --> 03:53.360
Who are you?

03:54.330 --> 03:57.180
It's Gaku, right? From the class next to mine?

03:57.180 --> 03:59.070
What? You're...

03:59.070 --> 04:00.440
Hey, get outta here.

04:00.440 --> 04:04.440
That okay? I might come back with the police.

04:06.060 --> 04:07.120
What?

04:09.500 --> 04:10.740
Who the hell are you?

04:27.260 --> 04:27.970

04:29.410 --> 04:31.230
What are you guys doing?

04:32.340 --> 04:33.860
Gaku, let's go!

04:34.640 --> 04:37.340
Hey, wait! Don't run away!

04:45.430 --> 04:47.980
I'm screwed. I really 
screwed up this time.

04:48.430 --> 04:52.640
It's Haru-kun, right? 
What do you mean you screwed up?

04:52.640 --> 04:54.380
Isn't it obvious?

04:54.770 --> 04:56.420
The security camera.

04:56.420 --> 04:56.990
Huh?

04:57.950 --> 05:01.370
We were in a blind spot.

05:03.880 --> 05:07.140
Because of where the truck was, 
no matter how badly I beat 'em up,

05:07.140 --> 05:10.140
the camera couldn't see me.

05:11.340 --> 05:15.660
At least, it wasn't supposed to.
 If only he hadn't moved his truck...

05:15.660 --> 05:18.150
<i></i>That's<i> the part he regrets?</i>

05:18.710 --> 05:25.260
<i>Haru-kun wasn't lamenting the fact 
he shattered a few jaws in that bloodbath,</i>

05:25.260 --> 05:27.520
<i>but that the delivery truck moved.</i>

05:28.280 --> 05:32.290
<i>Despite being so calculating, 
he doesn't hesitate to do bad things.</i>

05:33.510 --> 05:36.350
<i>I can't get involved with this guy.</i>

05:36.350 --> 05:39.330
<i>This is surely a crossroads in my life.</i>

05:39.330 --> 05:41.320
<i>I need to get away from him quickly.</i>

05:42.310 --> 05:45.640
W-W-Well, I should go. Th-Thanks.

05:45.640 --> 05:49.330
Though I don't know why you helped me.

05:50.560 --> 05:56.110
Who wouldn't save a classmate 
who's being set upon by some thugs?

05:56.110 --> 05:58.140
It's faster than calling the police.

05:59.600 --> 06:05.190
Aw, man. My life is over. The high school I got
 into is super strict about this sorta thing.

06:05.570 --> 06:08.210
They'll expel me even 
before my first day there.

06:08.210 --> 06:13.670
<i>Oh, good. I'm just a victim, 
so I'll be spared if I can get away.</i>

06:15.130 --> 06:17.780
<i>Good. I'm saved.</i>

06:18.450 --> 06:20.980
<i>Just me...</i>

06:23.250 --> 06:24.670
Well, I guess it's all right.

06:24.670 --> 06:27.340
It is? Getting expelled <i>can't</i> be good!

06:31.290 --> 06:32.960
Hm? Is that a laptop?

06:32.960 --> 06:36.550
I just bought it. Saved up my New Year's
 money for ten years to get it.

06:36.550 --> 06:39.810
And you almost had it stolen immediately?

06:39.810 --> 06:41.370
Talk about unlucky.

06:48.340 --> 06:49.580
<i>Should I be doing this?</i>

06:50.330 --> 06:53.390
<i>Doing this will make me a criminal, too.</i>

06:54.500 --> 07:00.950
<i>But I probably became interested 
in computers for this very day.</i>

07:09.220 --> 07:11.530
I don't know much about computers,

07:11.530 --> 07:17.670
but I thought guys who are good with them
were more like, "Takka takka takka!" and stuff.

07:17.670 --> 07:20.440
No, it's not nearly so exciting.

07:20.440 --> 07:25.450
If I can get in with a PTW attack, I might be able 
to reach the control screen with a port scan.

07:25.450 --> 07:28.960
It's an old parking lot, 
so the wifi's probably still using...

07:28.960 --> 07:30.790
See? It's WEP.

07:32.590 --> 07:34.380
I haven't a clue what you're saying.

07:53.380 --> 07:56.420
We're good now. I erased 
the security camera footage.

07:56.420 --> 07:58.640
What? Dude, awesome!

07:58.990 --> 08:02.440
Gaku, you're freakin' amazing!

08:02.920 --> 08:07.350
Can you mess with the bank's data 
and give yourself 100 trillion yen?

08:07.350 --> 08:09.940
Uh, that's not happening.

08:09.940 --> 08:14.290
It's a closed network, 
and I'd be caught by their SOC right away.

08:14.290 --> 08:20.100
I didn't get any of that, but the gist is if you want
100 trillion, you need to do honest work, yeah?

08:21.340 --> 08:23.080
I don't know about 100 trillion.

08:23.500 --> 08:27.220
Gaku, I bet you could be 
a professional computer guy.

08:27.220 --> 08:29.490
Companies would fight to hire you.

08:30.020 --> 08:32.130
What? You think so?

08:32.130 --> 08:35.290
It'd be nice if that were true.

08:37.600 --> 08:41.330

13:55.240 --> 13:59.690
I, uh, thought it might be that.

15:09.310 --> 15:14.980

15:14.980 --> 15:18.790

15:54.760 --> 15:58.080

Yes, definitely.

17:15.320 --> 17:17.360
Quite convincing. You really got us there.

17:16.340 --> 17:19.620
Shall we try that again?

Taira Manabu-sama,

17:24.370 --> 17:26.870
Thank you for choosing to apply to our company out 
of many other options. After careful consideration, 
we are regrettably unable to offer you a job at this time.


We wish you luck in your future endeavors.

17:27.350 --> 17:29.220
How'd Haru-kun do?

17:29.220 --> 17:32.880
Nah, I guess he'd only 
contact me if he was rejected.

17:32.880 --> 17:34.980
Being accepted is the normal outcome.

17:36.520 --> 17:39.110
I'd better get to my part-time job.

17:41.330 --> 17:43.260
Don't forget your helmet!

18:02.580 --> 18:07.010
<i>I doubt I'll ever get 
to be part of that group.</i>

18:07.720 --> 18:11.500
Gaku, I bet you could be 
a professional computer guy.

18:11.500 --> 18:14.100
Companies would fight to hire you.

18:14.100 --> 18:17.040
I've always dreamed of doing 
this kind of work at your company.

18:18.930 --> 18:20.870
<i>The time for dreaming is over.</i>

18:21.470 --> 18:24.880
<i>From now on, I have to live in reality.</i>

18:28.430 --> 18:32.820
Yeah, so today, we'll be 
cleaning the Dragon Bank office.

18:33.860 --> 18:38.200
<i>Aw, man. Why here of all places? 
Give me a break.</i>

18:39.240 --> 18:41.820
Dragon Bank New Employee Orientation

18:41.150 --> 18:44.580
<i>Huh? That's one of the interviewers.</i>

18:46.170 --> 18:48.340
<i>This is unbearable.</i>

18:48.340 --> 18:51.580
<i>Please don't notice me. 
Please don't look at me.</i>

18:56.450 --> 18:59.670
Hey, that's one of the guys
 from the interview.

18:59.670 --> 19:01.470
Hey! Can you see me?

19:01.470 --> 19:02.840
Haru-kun?!

19:02.840 --> 19:04.120
Why?

19:04.120 --> 19:06.950
Oh, I'm temporarily doing
 some part-time work.

19:06.950 --> 19:09.010
I had someone swap with me.

19:10.500 --> 19:12.550
What? What do you mean?

19:12.550 --> 19:16.150
Aren't they holding some kind of 
new employee orientation in there?

19:16.500 --> 19:18.780
You were accepted, weren't you?

19:18.780 --> 19:21.910
Yeah, I was inside a second ago.

19:21.910 --> 19:23.660
And I just quit.

19:23.660 --> 19:26.520
Oh, so that's why you're out—wait, what?!

19:27.280 --> 19:31.710
Gaku, guys like me who get by
on eloquence and bluffing,

19:31.710 --> 19:35.550
and guys like you, with 
real skills, we belong together.

19:35.870 --> 19:40.540
Communication skills? 
That's a job for guys like me.

19:40.940 --> 19:46.720
I'd rather buy out a company that 
only hires half the team than join it.

19:46.720 --> 19:49.880
If I had 100 trillion yen, 
I could buy anything.

20:05.170 --> 20:08.990
This is a detailed road map 
of the company we'll build.

20:10.600 --> 20:13.520
“We"? Who are you talking about?

20:15.320 --> 20:18.580
First we go public,
 then we buy, buy, buy.

20:18.890 --> 20:22.080
“Detailed"? That's just a fantasy!

20:23.220 --> 20:25.360
<i>Despite saying that...</i>

20:25.610 --> 20:29.100
We'll buy huge mansions, 
sleep with TV announcers,

20:29.100 --> 20:31.460
and be listed in "The World's Billionaires."

20:31.460 --> 20:33.010
<i>For some reason, in that moment...</i>

20:32.310 --> 20:33.850
TV Announcers

20:34.080 --> 20:39.880
<i>I felt like Haru could 
actually achieve every step...</i>

20:41.330 --> 20:44.300
<i>of his insane road map.</i>

20:45.410 --> 20:47.250
TV Announcers

20:47.250 --> 20:48.160
TV Announcers

20:47.350 --> 20:50.460
The top floor already? 
I'm out of room to write.

20:48.160 --> 20:50.870
TV Announcers

20:52.180 --> 20:54.880
For now, this is our first goal.

21:05.640 --> 21:07.600
If it would benefit the company...

21:08.140 --> 21:10.770
would you become my pet?

21:12.150 --> 21:13.020
Not bad.

21:13.150 --> 21:14.860
But what about the reverse?

21:15.730 --> 21:17.360
Why don't you become my pet?

21:22.410 --> 21:25.330
This company, Dragon Bank...

21:33.730 --> 21:35.170
All of it...

21:37.090 --> 21:39.300
and you will be mine.

21:43.820 --> 21:45.430
One trillion dollars!

21:46.980 --> 21:52.720
We'll make a trillion dollars and 
acquire everything in our Trillion Game!

21:54.400 --> 21:57.390
We are the world's most selfish men!

21:58.330 --> 22:01.640
"We"? Did you say "we"?

22:26.950 --> 22:30.570
<i>Our game had begun.</i>
