Very good, Pyunma. Stay on your toes, Mamado.

That's enough. You both did very well.

-There you go. How do you feel? -Well, I'm not gonna die.

Don't let it eat at you.

-It's kill or be killed with these turkeys. -Yeah.

-It's a laser weapon. -Is it Black Ghost?

No question about it.

Get ready, boys. There's more of them.

Accelerator mode!

Not a bad job.

How many of these serpents are there?

They're retreating. What happened?

Everyone, power up.

Is that one of those Cyborgmen?

That guy's different from the others we fought.

-Take your people and hide. -All right.

Going to magnum power.

Do you think you can defeat me as easily as that?

He's fast.

We have to lure him away from the guerrilla base.

Let's see you run from this.

Get away from him right now!

I see your plan. To distract me while you sneak up and attack.

Oh, no.

Playtime's over.

Goodbye.

That was pretty close.

No kidding. How did you know we were in trouble?

We didn't. You were late, so we came looking for you.

Right. Then we came across this rebel squad on the way.

Your timing was just about perfect.

-Blast. -What is it?

Wait. Is there another wound?

I don't know what's causing it...

...but all of a sudden, the pain's gotten a lot worse.

-What happened? -He got hit by one of those lasers.

That looks bad. We've gotta get him back to the Dolphin now.

008.

008!

-So were you wounded too? -No, I'm fine.

002 needs help. I'm taking him back to the Dolphin.

I'll stay with the rebels in case they get attacked.

Be careful. If he does come back...

...it won't take Cyborgman very long to figure out you weren't hurt.

-Okay, got you. -We better hurry.

Let's go.

I don't understand. Why didn't you bring him back here sooner?

I see why you're in such pain.

Your blood flow was cut off by that tight bandage.

I'll re-dress the wound and your circulation will be restored.

You people have to remember something. You're not robots.

In the event of an injury, restricting the energy lines in your system...

...can create side effects that make the condition much worse.

You all have to open your eyes.

We've been tricked by Black Ghost and his organization.

I don't believe that, Kabore.

We need the Black Monster. We're not strong enough without it.

Our country's future's in your hands.

Mamado. Could it really be you?

Well, professor?

He'll be fine. He's recovering.

This is a classic Black Ghost move.

He comes along and sells weapons to both sides in this conflict.

First he gives the rebels something to attack the dictator and his army.

Then he sells more powerful weapons to the dictator...

...and waits while everything escalates.

But that's not all.

I'm sure that Black Ghost has in mind a much wider conflict.

Something that will involve the major world powers.

What do you mean, doctor?

This country has enormous deposits of Metal X...

...the mysterious energy ore that the industrialized world now covets.

If the civil war threatens the production of Metal X...

...I'm sure some country will step in to forcibly restore peace.

That action will be just the spark needed to start another world war.

We can't let that happen. We've got to reason with Cyborgman.

What makes you think that machine will listen to you?

I don't think he is a machine.

If we can talk to him, we can make him understand.

Nothing you can say to these cyborgs has any effect.

-Haven't you figured that out by now? -Not true.

Stop. Professor Kozumi hasn't done anything to you. Please don't hurt him.

Thank you, 0013.

You're right, 009. He's not my enemy.

You're too optimistic. Black Ghost isn't stupid, you know.

He wouldn't keep creating cyborgs who turn and betray him.

These cyborgs are fine-tuned. They don't question things.

So these human fighters don't have a shred of humanity left? Get real.

When they were blasting us, I didn't see any humanity.

What do you think about all this, professor?

009> is correct. These Cyborgmen are human.

But from what we’ve seen so far, I have to say...

...as warriors, they appear to be perfect.

-Perfect? -As 002 observed...

...they are efficient weapons-delivery systems.

So you agree that they’re nothing more than robots.

Not exactly. No matter how advanced a robot’s mental circuits are...

...they have no emotions.

A human-based cyborg, on the other hand...

...incorporates those emotions into his programming.

In this case, I presume Black Ghost has erased any emotion...

...from these individuals that does not contribute...

...to their efficiency as soldiers.

So he lets these cyborgs retain their humanity, but takes away their heart.

That's the core of humanity. How can they still be human?

That's what I have to find out.

Those cyborgs are still alive? That's impossible.

Mamado! You're through.

It's been a long time, Pyunma.

What a surprise, but I see you do remember me.

-Of course. -What else do you remember, Mamado?

Do you remember what you told me the day of your brother's funeral?

My brother worked from morning till night...

...pulling Metal X out of those mines.

All he did was work and sleep.

And then when he was no longer able to work...

...when he wasn't useful to them...

...they tossed him aside like garbage and let him die.

Tell me, Pyunma. What did my brother live for?

What a waste of a life.

I want to bring down this system that enslaves us.

I want us to stand tall and find the joy in life.

I want this dream of freedom to become a reality.

Mamado, you've seen what's happened to our country...

...since you made that vow.

The dream for which you sacrificed so much is still just a dream.

It's Black Ghost who's responsible for all this.

Let's fight him together. For our families, for our lives...

...for our country.

Is that all you have to say?

Don't, Mamado.

Die, Pyunma.

Stop. I want you to bring him back to headquarters alive.

It would have been better for you if I had finished you off.

008's missing?

We've got to find him. He could get into trouble out there.

And here's something for destroying those flying tanks.

Mamado, open your eyes to reality.

Do you really want this madman in charge of our country?

Shut your trap! Guess I'll have to show you what happens to traitors.

It's very shocking.

That's enough for now. We need him alive.

He's the bait we're going to use...

...to get rid of the rest of his gang of cyborg buddies.

Wait. You haven't told me what the plan is.

008. Can you hear me, 008?

001 ?

He's in trouble. 008's been captured by Black Ghost.

-I was afraid of that. -Come on, guys. Let's get going.

-We've gotta get him out of there. -009.

You stay here. I'll go.

Don't push yourself.

He's gonna put everybody in jeopardy...

...if he tries to reason with those lunatics.

They're not humans.

Hey, I'm not worried. He's always come through before.

-004, he... -Look, if it comes to a fight...

...he's not gonna hesitate.

They've got their mobile lasers and two tank battalions on guard.

They're pretty well defended. Oh no, what's this?

008's in there. He's in a lab in the centre of the building.

Okay, 5 and 7 and I will take care of the guards.

You and 6 find 008 and bring him out.

-We'll handle it. -I'll help with the guards.

004, you go after 008.

Okay, fine. We're counting on you.

All right, meet back here in half an hour.

Here they come, just like lambs to the slaughter.

-005! -It's all right.

Take them out, 009.

I can't breathe.

009?

Sorry about that. I'll be okay now.

-Activate. -Yes, sir.

What weapon is this?

It's a super-pulsating electrical charge.

Our cyborg friends are discovering how vulnerable they really are.

Everything's spinning around.

Going to accelerator mode.

What is happening?

-Nice work, my friend. -Nice work, my friend.

Let's finish this.

That is not good.

That didn't work. What's your next plan?

I'll leave that to you.

Wait. You can't just leave me. Who will protect me?

-You have to take me with you. -Get away!

Everyone, out of the building.

You cyborgs!

It's all over. There's no place to hide. Now you'll pay for what you did to 008.

We'll see about that.

008, we've gotta go. You've gotta wake up.

Not so fast.

Don't move.

I said you'd pay and you will.

Wait.

Mamado. I still consider you my friend.

Join us. And together we'll fight again, just like in the old days.

This is a complete waste of time. Don't bother, 008.

I've gotta try. Mamado, listen.

We can defeat Black Ghost and rebuild our country together.

What do you say?

Pyunma, I promise you, I'll make this country...

...into the kind of place we envisioned from the day we started our revolution.

I'll make this dream a reality for all those who died in the struggle.

Keep us in your heart...

...and come back to see how we've progressed, my brother.

Wherever you may end up in this life...

...remember, this will always be your home.

Thank you, Kabore.
