Original subtitles

In contrast to the national Space Forces,

there are also Private Security Forces.

Humanity's territory rapidly expanded,

and as various interstellar states were formed,

the Space Forces were founded to provide equal protection for all.

But in the vastness of space, not all colonies enjoyed this protection.

This brought about the Private Security Forces, run by private enterprises.

The Security Forces are comprised of security companies...

...and top transportation businessmen.

They protect developing planets and interplanetary trading companies...

...from pirates and various kinds of trouble.

But the enormous contractual and upkeep expenses...

...are a source of trouble on the frontier, with its low earnings.

Pirate ship is dead in space. We won.

What a waste of ammo! And we just set out, damn it!

This guy doesn't look like a Kei pirate or a Ban pirate...

They're probably part of a group that uses this area as a base of operations.

Don't make a fuss, now.

Anchors 1 and 2, locked.

I'm gonna make 'em pay us back for the ammo we used.

Not to mention some spare food for our trouble.

So who's the pirate here?

We're the good guys.

Our income's a little unstable, that's all.

Just a minute, Gene.

Three ships are closing in from behind the satellite to aft.

They had friends?

It doesn't look that way. Now enlarging.

You two ships there! Hold it!

What?

This is the patrol ship String 4, currently guarding the Heifong system.

Disarm yourselves and surrender at once!

I-It's a warship! A Security Forces warship!

Law & \h\h\hLawlessness

Machinery loading chamber will be sealed from 1200 to 1400 hours.

Blue Team, follow Section Alpha's instructions. Schedule changed.

Attention Security Section. Red pirate ship is being locked down in dock 4.

Red pirate ship, huh?

These public servants sure like to peg you right off the bat...

Now locking down.

Bastards!

Attention, Outlaw Star!

Your crew is to disarm and proceed to the designated decks!

You gonna be okay, Gilliam?

I'll be waiting right here.

If it's all the same to you, I'd rather be felt up by that babe there...

What're you grinning at?!

Whatever you're thinking, forget about it!

We're not a bunch of suckers on this station.

Okay! Next!

Unbelievable...

Gene, this is strange.

What is?

I went through the data we took from the pirate ship's AI a while ago.

It's fragmented, but their operation time sequence...

...is set relative to this station.

To this station?

What's it mean?

I bet they're planning something.

Body checks complete!

This way, you pirate scum! And hop to it!

We're not pirates!

Yeah, that's what they all say.

Geez, damn soldiers...

Men and women are handled separately, huh?

I wish they'd give us some tea or something...

Gene Starwind. For a civilian, you have one impressive ship.

My dad was an interplanetary trader. It was one of his ships.

She's registered out of Blue Heaven. It's all legit!

A trader with a Grappler Ship?

Why don't we cut the crap?

Say what? I run a legitimate business!

You're that guy from the patrol ship, aren't you?!

Try saying that to my face!

Very well. I hope I don't surprise you.

What's with the lizard man?

My name is Duuz.

I'm the tactical officer for the Security Service Force, Angel Links.

He's a Saurian! I've never seen one before!

They were created through genetic engineering!

Genetics? You mean this guy's from the Jurassic period?

I'm Valeria, his colleague.

We're really members of a Security Service Force out of the Oracion system,

but we've been stationed here as part of our duties,

and we found you people in a fight and captured you.

I'm all for babes falling for me at first sight,

but this has nothing to do with us.

You saw the other wreckage, right? They're the pirates!

We're the good guys who took 'em down.

Yep, yep...

Gene...

I see you're a young Outlaw who's been making a name for himself on Heifong.

I've seen a video of the space race, too.

Glad to hear it.

Hey, now. Let's not get off track, okay?

So, what's a man like that doing in this part of space?

Would you be surprised if I told you I'm on a treasure hunt?

The instant there's anything of value, this sector's crawling with pirates.

You're not saying it's pirate treasure, are you?

I sure hope so. I'm up to my ears in debt.

Your Grappler Ship has equipment that's on par with a pirate ship.

Strange excuses just make it look even more suspicious.

Even if he prattles on about being an Outlaw, he's just a mammal punk.

He was probably smuggling something.

That's pretty big talk.

I never hear anything good about you Security Service people.

Taking money as bodyguards ain't any better than piracy!

Gene!

Duuz!

What's the big idea?!

Don't cry over that love-tap, boy. I don't let anybody bad-mouth us!

I don't let insults slide either, buddy!

That's enough, Duuz! You, too!

Calm down, Gene!

People who call themselves Outlaws are no different, you criminals!

Duuz!

Check us out all you want.

But I think you should be worrying about those pirates you caught.

What do you mean?

I'm saying that they came in here because they're going to attack it.

With just one ship?

It may be temporary, but this is still a naval port.

What makes you say that?

During the fight, our navigator found some files in their AI.

The pirates' files? They were all deleted.

And even if it were true, it wouldn't let you people off the hook!

My, how noble of you!

You're the very model of an officer of the law!

I pride myself on it.

Duuz, just to be on the safe side, will you interrogate those pirates?

Fine.

Disarm these people's ship! I want it checked over thoroughly!

Yes sir!

I've heard that Saurians are hard-headed.

Wrong!

My people have a warrior's pride, that's all.

Criminals probably wouldn't understand that.

This is taking forever...

Get in there!

Gene! What happened to your face?

Don't worry about it.

So what's gonna happen now, Officer Babe?

I'm sorry, but we're going to detain you for a while.

This is an emergency. Don't take it personally.

I do.

I want all of you to see this.

See what?

The Midsummer Night's Queen. A civilian ship that will dock soon.

A pirate ambush?

Yes. By the time we received her SOS, it was too late.

They killed everyone?

There were 128 survivors, 10% of her passengers.

Gene...

Who the hell did this? What a mess...

This reminds you of the incident with your father five years ago?

You even have old news articles on file?

Our job is to guard the frontier.

We keep records even on petty smuggling cases.

I can't stand pirates.

Neither can we.

They seem to be from the same group as the pirate we fought earlier.

Very observant.

About some things.

On the frontier, you come to be sensitive to danger.

These pirates are notorious around here,

and they've sometimes even tried to make a move on us.

They look down on us because we're "just" Private Security Forces.

Then you should at least go over those files.

It's just a file on an operation's timetable,

but the data is still on our ship.

I'll give it some thought.

Including the fact that you people are dangerous elements.

You're one shrewd lady. You're just like the lizard.

The Midsummer Night's Queen is now docking.

All sections, follow instructions.

I'll see you later, then.

Berthing crews, prepare temporary berth 5!

Vessel's hull is being damaged.

Be careful when attaching cables.

Rescue Team Titan, stand by for deploy.

Retrieve all civilians from the ship, giving priority to the wounded.

Valeria, about those people from that red pirate ship...

They're small fries, right? We're not gonna make anything off of'em.

There's more to the Private Security Forces than money.

True. I need your signature here.

Receiving message.

Can you add this to the next ferry bound for Oracion?

Roger!

What about the other ship?

Duuz is having a chat with them.

It's okay, they'll talk soon enough.

Anyway, this is more important.

Path is clear! Let her in!

Hurry up with that second check.

What's up?

Pressurize temporary bay 5.

Gangplank connection complete. Retrieve those civilians!

Please remain calm! Let the wounded off first!

This area's off-limits!

This is a military installation!

Hey, I'm hungry!

Gimme a bacon and egg sandwich!

I'll have a jumbo beefsteak!

I want a peach-shaped meat bun!

Broiled eel over rice. And eel liver soup on the side.

I'll have an egg drop soup, too.

Shit! Damn lizard man...

Don't mess with a man's stomach!

There's no fighting the authorities, I guess...

Not at all!

Just you wait! I'll take 'em down a notch.

What the...? What happened?

Missiles inbound from civilian craft!

Multiple explosions in central dock! Partial damage to ships!

A pirate trap?!

Control room! The civilians are armed!

I can't believe this!

Pirates have infiltrated the station!

All hands, wipe them out at once!

It may be a naval station,

but they're helpless if they're attacked from inside.

They really thought this through...

Freeze!

I knew you people were working with them!

Calm down, okay? We're not pirates.

We're...

Hey, not bad!

Let's hurry.

If this keeps up, we'll be trapped!

Enemy spotted on range 4!

What?

One carrier and three Grappler Ships are closing in!

Gun turrets 7, 9, and 11 are not responding!

All dock hatches are inoperable!

This is String 4! Where's Duuz?

You can't reach him?

All right. I'll go.

Not again...

Pressure's okay on the other side! Gravity, too!

Aisha!

Just leave it to me.

Man, this is bad...

Wait, that's...

It's that dinosaur geezer with the Security Forces!

Man...

Poor guy...

I... I'm not dead yet!

Whoa! He's alive!

Damn mammal criminals... Trying to escape, are you?

Let me remind you again that we're civilians.

We're supposed to be evacuated first in an emergency.

What did you do to your guards, villains?

Hm?

Damn thing's a cannon...

To think that I'm about to be killed by a mere mammal...

65 million years worth of pride will never let me live it down!

Look here, buddy...

65 millions years don't even come close to the payback I owe you...

Aisha! Give me a hand!

Boy? What're you up to?

How upright of you.

I guess. Let's do it!

Haul your butt out of there!

Why did you save me?

My pride.

Pride? What would a criminal like you know about pride?

A woman once told me that there are three powers in space.

Three powers?

Pirates and the military.

And the third's...

Come back here!

See ya later, you hard-headed lizard!

Just so long as we can use our missiles!

If we don't get rid of that civilian ship soon, we'll be wiped out!

It's no use! We have to clear the debris out of the way first!

I thought soldiers were supposed to be good at improvising!

Valeria!

Duuz! Are you all right?

I'm sorry, I got careless.

Can you make it up here? Terrorism's your field of expertise.

Understood.

That red-haired Outlaw is headed your way! Be careful!

Gene?

Who the hell are you?

Crap!

This isn't a good weapon.

Suzuka, the ship's this way.

Back so soon?

Gilliam! What's your situation?

They said I was to be disarmed, so all live rounds have been removed.

The only usable firearm is the blaster.

How thoughtful of 'em. Can you move?

My propulsion systems are intact, but with that steel frame on me...

You have arms, don't you? Let's do it!

The red pirate ship has started up?

Gene Starwind, what're you up to?

What do you think?

We're skipping out, of course!

We're gonna high-tail it while you're busy with your firefight!

I can't do that.

What? What're you gonna do, then?

Work teams! Don't just sit there!

Clear that frame out of the way!

Gene, you're... You're helping us?

I don't have the guts to be a wanted man.

I figured I could be more useful than those work teams over there.

I see.

All right, Gene. Can you buy us enough time to get out of here?

That's something else entirely.

Are you offering this outlaw a job, Ms. Military?

All right, a job, then. I expect a lot from an Outlaw.

Give us your data on the enemy!

I'll thank you later, Gene.

Valeria! You're letting that red-haired boy do as he pleases?!

Prepare for launch! Don't waste any time!

Damn, I scraped our paint job!

Grappler Ships incoming!

Don't screw with me!

Inertial controllers to full! Let's do it!

Assault anchors on continuous control.

Okay!

#4, cut. #2, cut.

Those things ain't cheap, damn it!

#3, locked.

Got him!

Taking control of enemy computer.

Eat this!

Multiple missiles incoming!

From both sides at the same time?

Dodge 'em!

It's no use! I can't dodge them all!

20% will impact!

Come up with something!

I'll see what I can do!

What?

What the...?

What's going on?

I operated their computer remotely, that's all.

Oh, I get it...

Way to go, Jim!

I couldn't have done it without Mel's backup.

Two enemy ships coming in!

Two anchors left, huh?

Launching #5, #6.

We're going in!

Eat this!

Power's about the same, huh?

The other ship's coming!

We're in trouble, Gene!

Be careful! I'm being accessed by the enemy ship's computer.

What the...?

Looks like we made it in time.

The lizard!

Gene, let us handle the carrier.

Boy, you babbled something about there being three powers in space.

All right, then, I'm about to show you the military's power.

All ships, commence barrage!

Damn, that's a lot of power...

What's the matter, boy? Still need help?

No thanks!

Die, bastard!

We've returned the ammunition we confiscated,

so all that's left now is your job fee, right?

You'll take Dragonite, I hope?

That'll do just fine!

But...

There's something else?

Have you heard anything about the military in the core systems...

...developing a Grappler Ship called the "XGP" or something like that?

Just drop it, Valeria.

We didn't find any counterfeit registry data.

Part of our data was scrambled because of those pirates.

Let's just leave it at that.

I see.

This is about your pride, isn't it, Duuz?

All right. You've saved face.

Gene, Gene!

There's nothing wrong with treasure hunting or getting rich quick.

They both mean you have big dreams.

Yeah. I owe you one.

You have your Dragonite, so get out of here!

But if I ever see you committing a crime, I'll take you down.

I'll keep that in mind.

Bon voyage, crew of the Outlaw Star!

Let's go, Outlaw Star!

Jim Hawking here!

I've always had to be the reliable one because Gene isn't,

but something tells me that love is finally heading my way, too!

What do people live for?

To get all lovey-dovey!

Then they pledge eternal love to each other,

and then have a fight, and the wife goes home to her folks...

Wait, that doesn't sound right...

Next time on Outlaw Star! "Cats and Girls and Spaceships"!
