("Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, K. 525: I. Allegro")

- [Naomi] Seriously?

You really think they'd let me sing?

- [Won] Of course.

Everything is arranged.

Beginning next month, you'll appear twice a night

at the finest hotel in the city.

At this hotel, you'll be seen by people that matter,

important people.

You'll be well on your way toward becoming a star, Naomi.

- I must be dreaming.

Me, getting to sing at a place like that, and twice a night.

Oh, I am so grateful, Mr. Won.

(Won chuckles)

- [Won] Then I take it we have a deal.

(loud thud) (groans)

Hmm.

- You looking to commit suicide, pal?

(loud thuds) (groans)

(loud splash)

- [Goku] What's this, Won?

High tea and crumpets?

Give it up.

You're about as English as egg foo young.

- Explain.

Who are you?

- Just a private eye.

- And what, may I ask, brings you here?

- [Goku] This girl.

Recognize her?

She wanted to be a singer

and she fell for your "I can make you a star" routine.

The next thing she knew,

you'd sold her off to certain interests in Singapore.

- Huh?

What's that?

(chuckles)

- Her family asked me to find her,

and this morning, I finally did,

floating face down in Tokyo Bay.

(chuckles)

(light whooshes)

(Won grunts) (loud crash)

(Naomi yelps)

Well, well, now, we're pretty quick on our toes

for an invalid, aren't we?

(Won chuckles) - Hey, take it easy.

This isn't real good for my voice.

- Hey, look, I don't know how to break this

to you gently, sweetheart,

but it's not your voice that the man's interested in.

- [Won] Nice try, private eye.

(Won grunts)

(grunting)

(chuckles)

Huh?

(eye beeps)

(machine gun firing)

(beeping)

(staff fires)

(screams)

(loud boom)

Help!

My leg!

I can't swim

I can't!

(Won groans)

- My, oh, my.

The pollution in Tokyo Bay gets worse everyday.

(bubbling)

(upbeat music)

My name's Goku.

My left eye has a microcomputer terminal

that's linked with every other terminal on Earth.

Computers control the world and I control them.

Anything I see or hear can be instantly analyzed.

I only have to think something and it's done.

If I wanted to, I could hack into the launch codes

of every nuclear power,

send the missiles up and destroy the planet.

In every other way,

I'm just your ordinary private detective,

but I've got God's left eye.

(dramatic music)

I hope your name's Yoshiko Nozawa.

(siren wailing)

- You're Goku Furinji, I presume?

- That's right.

- As I explained on the phone this morning,

I'm willing to pay three million, but with one condition,

you must find him in three days, no more.

Oh, and another thing, I'm going with you.

- Hm.

God knows it's a lonely job.

Three million's a lot of money just to find your brother.

What happened to him?

He get lost on the moon or something?

And what made you wanna meet here?

Like, I do have an office, you know,

with chairs and everything. (high-pitched buzzing)

(whimpering)

(Yoshiko yelps)

(loud crash)

Actually, on second thought, I appreciate you

not coming to my place. (high-pitched buzzing)

Let's get outta here!

(suspenseful music)

- It's no use.

We can't get away.

Those horrible things are relentless.

There's no hiding from them.

They can see in the dark and they never give up,

not until they've run their prey into the ground.

Wait, what are you doing?

Are you crazy?

You're just making it easier for them.

Didn't you hear me?!

They can-- - I heard you, honey,

they can see in the dark.

That makes us even.

(eye beeps)

(beeping)

(staff clicks)

(staff fires)

(staff fires)

(eye beeps)

(staff fires)

(loud booms)

Okay, lady, start from the top.

The truth this time.

- Well, what do you mean?

I've already told you everything you need to know.

- Yeah, well, you mind telling me

why those cyborg schnauzers are after you?

Just what's your brother been up to, anyway?

Stealing the emperor's underwear?

(eye beeps)

(beeping)

Start telling me the truth

or find yourself another man, Yoshiko Kadoma.

(gasps)

There's not much you can hide from me.

You see, believe it or not,

my left eye is a computer

hooked up to every database in the world.

Sometimes, I can trace an ID off a person's face.

For instance, I just ran a check on yours

and discovered you're the foster daughter

of Colonel Zenzo Kadoma, Special Forces chief.

- You've got to be kidding.

Really, I don't know how you found out about me,

but a computer eyeball?

You should be put away in a padded room.

It's obvious you're either unwilling

or incapable of finding my brother,

so I'll just hire myself another detective.

- Lady, you don't need a detective.

You need a grave robber.

Your brother died 15 years ago.

Discretion's my middle name.

I don't ever divulge a client's secrets.

And if you still need convincing about my left eye,

what if I was to tell you what you're wearing

underneath that dress?

- He didn't die 15 years ago!

My brother is still alive.

He's still alive!

Oh.

I must find him before it happens again,

before the medication wears off and he murders someone else!

(cries)

The military perpetuates the lie that he's dead

to cover up what they did to him.

- [Goku] Huh, the military.

So what did they do to him?

- What Zenzo Kadoma did.

- [Goku] Your stepfather?

How's he involved?

- My brother Ryu and I lost our parents in the big quake

and he took us in, but not out of the goodness of his heart.

He'd been put in charge of the new experimental weapon,

you see, and he needed his body for certain tests.

He told the world that Ryu was dead

in order to hide the results of those tests.

It was all very calculated.

- What were the results?

- Meant three years he turned my brother into a monster.

He became a cyborg, a human killing machine powered

by something called a barrier generator.

(breathing heavily)

(groaning)

Then a couple of days ago...

(chuckles)

- No!

- Oh, yeah. - No, don't!

(chuckles) Stop it right now, Isozaki,

or I'll swear I'll tell my brother!

You know what he's capable of!

(Isozaki chuckles)

- You really think I'm frightened of him?

Why, I've got that zombie under my thumb.

He doesn't even go to the bathroom without my permission.

- [Yoshiko] No!

- Your brother's turned out to be a failure, I'm afraid.

His behavior is becoming more and more uncontrollable

with every passing day.

The one thing keeping him in check are the injections

of stabilizing counteractive I give him daily.

And you and your brother thought

it was just a vitamin supplement.

(Isozaki chuckles)

Unfortunately, nothing is forever.

And the counteractive will eventually become ineffective.

When that happens,

the last of Ryu's personality will vanish without a trace.

They'll be nothing left but the beast.

He will go berserk and there will undoubtedly be

a great deal of bloodshed.

(Isozaki chuckles)

(Isozaki moaning)

(yelps)

- Surprised?

Not as much as I am by what I heard.

- [Yoshiko] Ryu.

- [Ryu] Isozaki.

- That's enough, don't come any closer!

Stay back!

(high-pitched buzz) - Huh?

(loud crash)

(screams)

- No!

(screams) (loud crash)

He went into hiding.

I haven't seen him since then.

- [Goku] I'm sure the army must be looking for him by now.

Why don't you just let them handle it?

- They'll kill him just to keep their experiment a secret,

but I want to save him,

and I think I can if i can just get him

an injection of the counteractive in time.

I've got to.

So, you've heard my story.

Do you believe me now?

- [Goku] Yes.

- Why's that?

Did you scan my mind?

- No need.

I'm just going off the look in your eyes.

I'm not saying it'll be easy finding your brother.

Lots of places for him to hide in Tokyo.

(trucks whirring)

- [Leader] This is the last location of the contact signal

from the cyber hounds!

Give me a sweep of the area, find the girl,

kill her if she resists!

- That ain't no Boy Scout troop.

(eye beeps)

- [Yoshiko] Those are Special Forces units.

(beeping)

(staff fires)

(tires hissing)

- [Goku] Let's go.

(apprehensive music)

(car revs)

(groaning)

- Target on the move, westbound in a white Corvette.

- Move it, move it!

Back in the truck!

(loud screeching)

- Sir, we gotta slow down!

I'm losing control!

- Negative!

Keep on her tail!

(yelping)

(loud crash) (screams)

(loud boom)

(gasps)

- Well, give them credit for persistence.

Those grunts must be pretty serious

about getting their hands on you.

You and your brother were born in Yokohama, right?

- Yes, not that you'd recognize the place

since the big quake hit it.

Unlike Tokyo, they've never gotten around

to rebuilding much of it,

and I think that's why I've never wanted to go back.

Do you think Ryu could be there?

- They say that a wounded animal

will always head back to its lair.

Well, at least according to the proverb.

(groaning)

(screams)

(loud whirring)

(men cheering)

- [Man] Oh, yeah!

(man laughs)

- [Man] Come on!

Ow! (man laughs)

- Yeah, yee! - Yeah!

(man laughs) - Yeah!

(man laughs)

(loud thud) (groans)

(men laughing)

- Come on! (laughs)

- [Man] Yee-haw!

- [Woman] Let me go!

Leave me alone!

- [Number One] What do you mean?

It's my birthday.

We're gonna have a party!

Of course, we don't have no birthday cake,

but (laughs) that's where you come in, baby cakes.

(Number One laughs)

I like your icing!

Ow!

(Number One chuckles)

Ow!

Get her!

(woman panting)

(Ryu groaning)

(woman screams)

Ooh, a screamer, I love it!

Where are you, baby cakes?!

Papa's hungry.

(Number One laughs)

Hey, there you are.

Huh?

Beat it, Tarzan.

This one's mine.

You're dead meat, mother.

(grunts)

(electricity crackles)

Huh?

(groaning)

(loud cracking)

(loud crash) (screams)

(loud rumbling) - What the hell?!

Hey, you, did you mess with Number One?

Where is he, huh?!

Waste him!

(men shouting)

(loud whoosh)

(men scream)

(loud rumbling) (loud creaking)

(loud whoosh)

(man groaning)

I think it was the devil!

He's here!

It's the devil, man!

- You ask me, I'd say your brother's been here.

Huh.

Where is he now, that's the question.

(sniffs)

And what is that sickening smell?

It's almost like rotten fish or something.

- It's ozone.

Whenever the barrier is activated,

it creates a photochemical reaction with the air.

That's what you're smelling,

the ozone produced by the barrier generator.

- Makes my job easy.

(eye beeps)

I'll just follow my nose. (beeping)

There, your brother leaves ozone footprints.

Initiate uplink to surveillance satellite Omega II.

(gentle music)

(beeping)

Identify all photochemical anomalies.

Separate by category of ozone disturbances

generating from my present location.

Track and calculate position of anomaly signature

at this time.

Execute.

(upbeat music)

(beeping)

Bingo, we got him.

(loud rumbling)

He's still moving north on Route 24.

Seems in an awful hurry.

Any idea where he's headed?

- The Defense Agency.

I'm certain that he's going after Zenzo Kadoma.

He's afraid he hasn't much time.

Before he loses his last trace of humanity,

he wants to destroy the man who made a monster out of him.

You have got to get me there in time

to give him the counteractive before it's too late.

(loud buzzing)

- Huh?

(loud rumbling)

What's going on?

(alarm wailing) (whimpers)

- [Isozaki] What is it?

- Sir, Ryu's come back.

He's here in the building!

- Huh?

Quickly, seal him off!

- [Guard] Too late, sir, he's in the elevator!

Looks like he's heading for Colonel Kadoma's office.

- Stop him, dammit.

Cut off the elevator.

Uncouple the emergency cable line!

(upbeat music)

(loud boom)

- Don't move!

(guns firing)

(panting)

(loud whoosh) (men screaming)

(gasps)

- Now, calm down, Ryu.

I've got what you need, my friend.

A pinch of this and you'll be your old self in no time.

Ryu?

(loud whoosh) (screams)

- [Zenzo] Remarkable.

Very impressive!

- Stepfather.

- No army, no weapon on Earth can stop you.

You're the realization of all my efforts

to create the ultimate warrior.

I can't tell you how proud I am of you, my boy.

Now, then, let's not quarrel.

If there's some sort of misunderstanding between us,

we must do our best to resolve it.

Otherwise, you will destroy yourself,

and I'll be losing an extremely expensive prototype.

So let us be friends again, agreed?

Take your time to answer.

- Zenzo, I don't need time to answer.

(crackling)

(loud crash)

- [Zenzo] Hmm.

Too bad.

I see you're beyond the reach of reasonable discussion.

- Zenzo, come out!

Where are you?! (guns firing)

(groans)

(snarling)

(screams) (loud whoosh)

(loud rumbling) (men screaming)

(loud crash)

(Ryu screams)

(loud booms)

(flames roaring)

- Look, it's Ryu.

(groaning)

Ryu!

(screams)

We're too late.

He's too far gone.

He won't even recognize me anymore.

(screams)

Now there's no one who can stop him.

He's lost to me forever.

- [Goku] No.

I'll stop him.

(upbeat music)

(Ryu panting)

- Goku!

Kill him!

Kill him!

(loud booms)

(eye beeps)

(beeping)

(staff clicks)

(beeping)

(loud whoosh)

(groans) (loud crash)

(apprehensive music)

(loud boom) (groans)

- Who the hell are you?

- Oh, just a private eye.

I was hired to find a monster.

You seen him?

- You're a fool.

(eye beeps)

(monitor hums)

(loud buzzing)

(loud whirring)

You're full of surprises.

So I'm not the only monster.

Seems like you and I have a lot in common, private eye.

(Goku chuckles) (sirens wailing)

- [Goku] Hm?

- Huh?

Until we meet again.

(loud whoosh)

- Oh, we will meet again.

You can count on it.

Just try to behave yourself till then.

Why?!

What made you change your mind about him?

I thought you hired me to save his sorry ass.

Now, you're asking me to kill him.

What the hell's going on here?

(whimpers)

Look, if what you told me is true,

Zenzo and the army are the guilty ones.

Ryu's not responsible for what he's become.

I thought you wanted me to bring him in

so that you could try restoring him to normal.

Wasn't that the whole point?

- [Yoshiko] Well, I--

- You still don't trust me, do you?

That's what this is all about.

(eye beeps)

Lights out!

Out!

Ryu said he and I were the same, and he's right.

- [Yoshiko] What?

- I'm the only person in the world

who can bring your brother in.

(whimpers)

- I did wanna save him, yes, but I'm afraid it's too late.

I can't save him now.

That beast is not my brother.

It's someone else, someone who's no longer human.

My brother is beyond our help, beyond anyone's help.

Not even the counteractive would be of any use now.

There's no other way, don't you see?

(cries)

God.

It would be a favor to him

to finally put him out of his misery.

Let him find some peace.

Let us all find a little peace at last.

Dear God!

You've got to kill him.

Please kill him!

(gentle music)

- Your sister's right, Ryu.

You're too dangerous.

It's better for everybody if you just go to sleep now.

It's up to me to administer the sleeping pill, but how?

That's the question.

How do I get at you

if I can't get past that barrier generator of yours?

There must be a weapon, something somewhere.

Access all government databases.

Subdirectory: military.

Subdirectory: weapons research.

Override all gatekeepers.

Prioritize search by level of security, highest first.

Execute command now.

(upbeat music)

(beeping)

(eye beeps)

I know it's Sunday, boys.

I hate calling you back into work,

but just keep thinking about all the overtime

you're gonna make.

(sparks crackling)

(car revs)

There you are.

Okay, come on out here

and let me see what they've done to you.

(car revs)

You ready, boy?

Why don't we give it a try?

(eye beeps)

(cannon fires)

(loud whoosh)

If I read the manual right,

this missile's capable of warping to avoid obstacles,

then re-materializing in front of the target.

This is just what I need to get to Ryu.

(loud boom)

I like it.

(suspenseful music)

(gasps)

(loud slap) (groans)

(loud thud)

(whimpers)

- Ah, Yoshiko.

- Zenzo.

(moaning)

(groaning)

- Just the way you like it, big boy.

(screams)

(gasps)

(loud whoosh)

(screams)

(panting)

(grunts) (loud crash)

- It's bedtime, Ryu.

Lights out.

It's better this way, my friend.

You're all alone in this world.

There's nothing for you here.

But I'll bet the king of hell

is waiting to greet you with open arms.

Huh?

Dammit, Yoshiko.

(snarls)

Huh?

(grunts) (loud whoosh)

(screams)

(loud thud)

(grunting)

- [Zenzo] Do you enjoy killing people, my boy?

(snarls)

- [Ryu] Zenzo.

- You'd like to do the same to me, wouldn't you?

But that might not be as easy as you think.

(snarls)

For, you see, by killing me, you kill yourself as well.

(snarls)

I am you.

That part of you that is human was cloned

from the nucleus of one of my cells.

They say that God created man in one day.

I have to admit that the process

took me a little bit longer.

- It's a lie.

Isn't it?!

- Poor, Yoshiko.

She's never been the same

since her brother died 15 years ago.

(Zenzo laughs)

Am I going too fast for you?

She is not your sister.

That was nothing but an artificial memory

implanted in your brain while you incubated in your capsule.

You might call it a dream.

One of many we hoped to implant during the 30 days

of incubation required for you to reach maturity.

Unfortunately, you broke out of your capsule

in less than a week.

So, in fact, you're little more than an infant.

(groaning)

(screams)

(loud whoosh)

(loud rumbling)

- [Ryu] Huh?

- [Zenzo Voiceover] In spite of your premature birth,

you proved invaluable in testing the effects

of the barrier generator on the human body.

I could never have completed

my research without you, my boy.

(both gasp)

(gasps)

But now, the research is finished

and so are you. (electricity crackling)

(loud whoosh)

- [Ryu] Yoshiko.

(screams)

(loud whoosh) (loud rumbling)

(chuckles)

- Of course, Ryu,

it took more than one of my cells to create you.

We also needed a female egg

in which your embryo could develop.

And whose egg was it?

That's right.

The woman you thought was your sister

was really your mother.

(chuckles) - Isn't that perfect?

- Huh? - You sick, twisted bastard.

So you killed them both

just to keep your stinking little project a secret.

Who knows, maybe they're better off.

At least, now, they're where you can't get at them anymore.

Their hell is over,

but yours is just about to begin, my friend.

- You're the detective Yoshiko hired to find her brother.

Well, what do you plan to do now?

- Well, let's see, to begin with,

I think I'll put a big fat hole through your head,

nothing fancy, just to allow for some ventilation.

Maybe let a little fresh air in

on that diseased lump of mush you call a brain.

- You know, you're really quite comical, little man.

(chuckles)

You amuse me.

- Think I'm funny?

Wait till you meet the king of hell.

I hear he's a scream.

(screams)

(grunts) (loud whoosh)

(loud whoosh)

(screams)

(loud rumbling)

(eye beeps) Bring the warp missile

into position.

(ignition whirring)

(groaning)

- Save a place in hell for me, little man.

(ignition whirring)

(car revs)

- [Goku Voiceover] Begin targeting sequence.

This was meant for Ryu, but you deserve it.

(cannon fires)

(high-pitched buzz)

(screams)

(loud boom)

(groans)

(door thuds)

I thought she trusted me,

but she didn't tell me everything, not quite everything.

Huh, so much for this left eye of mine.

It may be able to hack into every database on Earth,

still, as far as women go,

I'm just as blind as the next guy.

I never see trouble coming till it's breathing down my neck.

Well, I'm finished with them.

Next pretty face I see, I'll just keep on walking.

Yeah, right.

That'll be the day.
