All language subtitles for Tekkaman Blade [English]-S1E9

This old boat seems to be sustaining
a lot

more damage since you joined the crew,
Blade.

She seems to be spending most of
her time in the shop now.

Ah, stop complaining, Mac.

We've all got a job to do.

Hey, don't get me wrong, Lanny.

I like it.

I wouldn't want it any other way.

The only chance me and the old
Blue Earth get

to spend any time together is when
she's down here in Dry Dark.

Attention!

Attention Space Knights!

Report on the double to Con 1
for a briefing from Commander Jameson!

Not again!

That man's got more briefings than the
sun's got spots!

Out of the way, Balzac.

Coming through.

Pardon us.

Hey, where's the meltdown?

Watch out!

Don't you know enough to clear the
corridor during an alert?

Sorry, next time I'll scrunch into a
little ball and bounce out of the
way.

What's the flying parade all about?

That is the convoy from Io, one
of Jupiter's moons.

12 beta transports carrying supplies vital to
our defense.

Food, metal ore, and something that may
prove even more than that.

Wait, Commander, those are betas out there?

Those ships are designed for docking at
the

orbital space ring, not for coming down
and landing on the planet.

If those ships try a belly landing
on Earth,

we could end up with a crater
big enough for the moon and then
some.

Unfortunately, Mac, we haven't any choice now.

They took off from their development base
on Io

before the space ring was occupied by
the invaders.

We informed them of the risk they
were

running, but they decided to proceed regardless.

Not surprising, considering the convoy is commanded
by Dr. Silas Radam,

one of the most determined and courageous
men I've ever known.

Sir, exactly how are the Space Knights
involved in this?

People, your orders for this mission have
been issued by the President himself.

Lander boot with the convoy and secure
its cargo at all costs.

In fact, your only objective is to
see that

those supplies make it down to the
planet.

Your lives and the lives of the
transport crews are to be considered expendable.

Kamikaze mission.

Terrific.

Star, signal the convoy our rendezvous point
in the asteroid belt.

And please, don't forget to transmit in
some kind

of code I'd prefer not to have
any spider crabs showing up to crash
our party.

That's something I could live without.

Got it?

Ringo, if I didn't know better, I'd
say you were nervous.

Convoy's responding, but on an open channel
and they're not transmitting in code.

What?

Look at that thrust.

She's purring like a kitten.

Well...

I have to admit, I didn't know
she had it in her.

Silas, you always were one for lost
causes, weren't you, my old friend?

The lonelier and more hopeless, the better.

Gentlemen, I have come here one last
time to beg you to vote this
plan down.

If you vote to establish this Cal
military

command, the generals will be answerable to
no one.

They'll be free to deplete the Earth's
resources to fuel their war machines.

The environmental destruction of the planet will
accelerate.

Gentlemen, I ask you, if we give
these military men what they want,

What sort of planet will we be
left with?

What is the point of having a
strong army to

defend our world if it's been turned
into a lifeless ball of dust?

Spoken like a true man of science,
Dr. Radam.

Very eloquent, very profound, but unfortunately without

any basis in reality, whatever.

And a waste of time.

Why go blathering on when the question's
already been decided?

What do you mean?

Sorry, Dr. Radam.

I really should have mentioned it before.

The council already voted on the military's
proposal.

It was approved overwhelmingly.

And having accomplished that, this council's duties
are hereby at an end.

And a Jameson.

No!

Wait!

Listen to me!

You men are condemning your own planet
to extinction!

You're committing suicide!

Jameson, even you...

I'm sorry, sir.

I'll never forget that look in your
eyes, as if we'd all betrayed you.

A betrayal so deep it drove you
to abandon everything.

Even your own planet.

Take me with you!

Take me with you!

Someday, with me, I promise.

It's true then, Silas.

You're really going.

Yes.

This planet's fate has been sealed.

Future lies elsewhere.

you

You know, I've always felt that we
could establish a colony on Io.

Now's the time to try.

Don't worry darling, it won't be long.

As soon as it's safe, I'll send
for both of you.

Until then, you've got to be strong.

And I'm expecting you to look after
your mother, you hear?

Goodbye.

And now you've returned to rescue the
planet you abandoned all those years ago.

Goose!

So far, so good.

No bogeys on my screen.

How about you, Star?

Your screen clear, too?

Great.

Guess they didn't pick up the convoy's
uncoated signal.

Looks like we lucked out.

They must have been tuning into the
salsa station.

Very funny.

From all I've heard of Dr. Radam,
he's not the type to make mistakes
like that.

If you ask me, it's almost like
he wants them to hear what we're
up to.

There they are.

Convoy One, open your docking bay, please.

Welcome, Blue Earth.

You're clear for docking.

Docking sequence completed.

Hangar bay doors secure.

The name's Ringo, sir.

Pleased to meet you.

I'm Star.

Wait.

Uh, this is Blade, Doctor.

Don't mind him.

He's kind of new to the team,
and his manners aren't quite the best.

Well, not being a military man, I
prefer a handshake to a salute.

I hope you don't mind.

Welcome.

Am I right in assuming you're the
only one on board, sir?

Yes, completely alone.

Each one of these transports is being
piloted by a crew of one.

But don't look so worried.

That doesn't mean you won't be well
looked after.

For instance, how about a nice hot
cup of tea?

I'm sorry I had to transmit on
an open channel.

I know it's risky.

That's putting it mildly, Doctor.

Oh, well, couldn't be helped, I'm afraid.

We've been having radio trouble.

You see, since passing through the Van
Allen belt,

we lost the use of our coded
frequencies.

The Van Allen belt, huh?

On every radio in the convoy?

Yes, strangely enough.

Though we cultivated these plants on Io,
they should thrive on Earth.

In time, they'll produce enough to feed
millions of people.

What's in that weird container up there?

That is the Doomsday Device.

A little surprise we developed in our
laboratory.

A surprise for the Venomoids or us?

It could prove of major significance in
winning this war.

The commander hinted you had something big
on board.

What is it exactly?

For obvious reasons, it's classified.

You'll just have to trust me on
this one, guys.

Convoy 1 to all transports.

Remember, I have the D device aboard.

Should we meet the enemy, it is
essential that this ship get through.

I sure wish he'd stop transmitting on
an open channel.

His radio's damaged.

He has no choice.

I don't know.

about this Radam guy strikes me funny
he's way

too calm and collected for my taste

I'm not nuts about tea, they've come
to think of it.

Is that what you base your suspicions
on?

D-Device, if this gizmo is so darn
important,

how come we've never even been briefed
on it, huh?

I mean, come to think of it...
Help me out, Blade Ringo's getting paranoid
again.

I'm not so sure he is.

Well, what a surprise.

They found us.

Get to the hangar.

We've got to launch the Blue Earth.

Open the doors, Doc.

We're out of here.

So many of them.

Good.

It's working.

Hello.

Hope you're feeling frisky, kid, because it
looks

like everybody and his Aunt Patootie's out
there.

Technobots, power on!

Roger.

Open the interlock chamber.

Hot.

That goes by the way.

Come on, you crustaceous creepasoid.

Let's dance.

We're right behind you, mate.

Hey, look there in front of us.

There's too many.

He can't handle them all.

Look, the doctor ship's on the move.

The Dean device has got to get
through.

What sort of game is Radam Blang?

He's breaking formation!

I'm going after him.

Don't even think of it.

Maintain your position or Blade will be
overwhelmed.

But sir... Negative.

Let me worry about Dr. Radam.

This is a code of frequency.

I'm surprised you were able to receive
it.

Our radios seem to be working fine
now.

One of the explosions must have jogged
the circuits.

You can't fool me, Silas.

I know what you're up to, and
I must say

I'm glad to see you helping the
Cal command again.

What?

You must be mad if you believe
I'm doing

this for that bunch of militaristic megalomaniacs.

Tell me why, then.

You don't have to wear a uniform
to be a patriot, Jameson.

I'm doing this for the Earth.

It's too horrible.

He wanted it to happen, didn't he,
Commander?

He thought if they concentrated on him,

the rest of the convoy could safely
get through to the planet.

Dr. Radam!

Dr. Radam, are you alright?

No, Blade.

I'm very far from alright.

I'll have you out of here in
no time, sir.

Don't bother.

Too late for that.

But there is something that you must
do.

pilot this transport and make sure she
gets through the Earth's atmosphere.

The friction of re-entry will set off
an explosive device I planted on border.

destroying the ship and all the spider-craps
along with it.

All of them's being very optimistic, but
at least a good number.

You'll have to admit, my little invitation
seems

to have provoked quite a response.

So all that talk about a D-device
was just bait to lure the two.

I wanted to be sure the convoy
got through safely.

So you sacrificed yourself.

I want you to have this.

I'm tired.

So tired.

Doctor!

Poor Dr. Radam.

And to think you suspected him of
being up to no good.

Okay, I was wrong about him, and
I'm sure

I'll feel rotten about it tomorrow, but
right now we got a convoy to
protect.

Its shields are on up and blades
still on board.

All of the ships made it through
the atmosphere except for one.

Dr. Radam Ship.

Did anyone see Blade?

He got off in time, right?

Stop panicking, Maggie.

I'm sure he's all right.

Which is more than I can say
for Dr. Radam.

Meanwhile at the landing point, a detachment
of

troops from the Cal military command scour
the heavens with anxious eyes.

There they are, sir.

At ten o'clock.

And they've got an escort.

I think it's the Blue Earth.

Sergeant, have everyone standing by and ready
to unload those transports.

Yes, sir.

The convoy ought to be touching down
in about 60 seconds.

Mac, why haven't we had any word
from Blade?

Where is he?

Now, Lassie, calm down.

Whether he's alright or not, there's nothing
we can do about it.

Just keep your fingers crossed and hope
for the very best.

Oh, Mac, if he doesn't come back,
I'll never forgive him!

It works, Commander!

The convoy is safe!

The water cushioned their landing!

With military precision, the troops begin unloading

the transports of their precious cargo.

food for the hungry, equipment for the
devastated

factories of Earth, and those brave crew
members injured in the descent.

All the while, the Space Knights wait
anxiously

for some sign of their missing comrade.

I gotta believe he made it.

That kid's indestructible.

Mm-hmm.

The Technobots!

Lady, wait!

Oh, thank goodness.

Are you all right?

Compliments on a job well done.

I've just spoken with military command and

they're very satisfied with the results.

Enough of the supplies got through all
right?

Yes, indeed.

Losses were minimal.

Some damage here and there but considerably
less than expected.

All in all, the whole operation went
off much better than we could have
expected.

And casualties, Captain?

How many were there?

Nothing to speak of.

One man on the critical list, but
that's about it.

Only one man in the hospital.

We might have had a lot more.

Hold on.

Hey, what do you think you're doing?

What'd you hit me for?

No big deal, huh?

Blade, what's wrong?

That was one man too many.
