1
00:00:23,543 --> 00:00:27,543
Thanks for waiting! Bringing hot new
discs to your antenna, it's time for...

2
00:00:27,613 --> 00:00:29,583
..."Today's Spotlight Corner!"

3
00:00:29,783 --> 00:00:33,923
Today we debut a new record by Vision,
and her band, the Revengers...

4
00:00:33,923 --> 00:00:37,593
...who are back performing, breaking a year-long silence.

5
00:00:37,693 --> 00:00:44,063
It's rocketing up the charts faster
than mercury in midsummer!

6
00:00:44,093 --> 00:00:49,053
It's our pick for today! So let's hit it!
Here's Vision and the Revengers'...

7
00:00:49,203 --> 00:00:53,833
...bright new disc, "Say Yes!" Let's go!

8
00:01:38,313 --> 00:01:46,953
Like the wind, you disappeared into the asphalt...

9
00:01:47,023 --> 00:01:52,823
...while being torn to pale ribbons.

10
00:01:53,103 --> 00:02:04,303
Though I hold on to your voice saying,
that day, "I won't be beaten... "

11
00:02:04,373 --> 00:02:07,743
...it's just the wind blowing.

12
00:02:07,983 --> 00:02:15,213
The faster I run, the more it seems like
buildings are going to fall on me...

13
00:02:15,483 --> 00:02:27,493
...and I bite my lip and tough it out, until the storm subsides.

14
00:02:27,763 --> 00:02:34,833
"Say yes!" I just live hotter than yesterday...

15
00:02:35,073 --> 00:02:42,373
"Say yes!" ...because I've known loneliness that I couldn't do anything about.

16
00:02:42,613 --> 00:02:49,713
"Say yes!" Answer me if you can hear me say...

17
00:02:49,893 --> 00:02:53,793
"I can be, I can do, I can sing, I can live."

18
00:03:07,503 --> 00:03:22,043
Something twinkles behind the wall, it is the knife of darkness.

19
00:03:22,323 --> 00:03:37,063
The only place I won't ever surrender to it is the area where you hid your dreams.

20
00:03:37,203 --> 00:03:44,613
When I look up now, my eyes still hurt from crying...

21
00:03:44,673 --> 00:03:56,813
...but if I can work out my future, these
platinum tears will become stars.

22
00:03:56,953 --> 00:04:03,983
"Say yes!" I want to believe deeply that freedom...

23
00:04:04,193 --> 00:04:11,663
"Say yes!" ...is more becoming to us than sorrow.

24
00:04:11,803 --> 00:04:18,803
"Say yes!" I hope these words will reach
you, now that you're far away from me...

25
00:04:18,873 --> 00:04:23,783
"You can be, you can do, you can sing, you can live. "

26
00:04:49,073 --> 00:04:55,503
Genom and Gulf and Bradley will each invest 50% of the capital...

27
00:04:55,583 --> 00:04:59,853
...and the patents will all be the joint property of both parties.

28
00:05:00,483 --> 00:05:04,443
This contract appears to be perfect.
Continue, Mr. Yamada.

29
00:05:04,693 --> 00:05:09,423
As regards the joint development, Gulf and Bradley's R

30
00:05:09,493 --> 00:05:12,763
...have charge of the endoskeleton and motive power systems, and Genom...

31
00:05:12,833 --> 00:05:17,293
...will have charge of the defensive armor and offensive weapons systems.

32
00:05:17,373 --> 00:05:21,003
The ultimate head of development will be your own Dr. McLaren...

33
00:05:21,073 --> 00:05:24,343
...with the research headquarters to be situated in Tokyo.

34
00:05:24,473 --> 00:05:26,053
Well, Doctor?

35
00:05:30,153 --> 00:05:35,143
The research facilities have already been completed. Please observe.

36
00:05:36,553 --> 00:05:40,853
We have assembled the very best of Genom's scientific knowhow.

37
00:05:41,693 --> 00:05:45,403
The laboratory can be in operation in one month.

38
00:05:47,663 --> 00:05:52,493
That's just fine, Mr. Yamada. We have absolutely no objections.

39
00:05:52,873 --> 00:05:58,163
Thank you, sir. We eagerly await your arrival in Japan, Doctor.

40
00:05:58,343 --> 00:06:05,093
I'm looking forward to it too, so I can
meet some beautiful geisha girls.

41
00:06:11,253 --> 00:06:13,803
Mr. Yamada, is he by any chance...?

42
00:06:14,323 --> 00:06:18,973
Yes, sir. The Model 55-C Boomer. Genom's best-selling product.

43
00:06:19,193 --> 00:06:23,273
Our new model should do even better, once it's finished.

44
00:06:32,113 --> 00:06:34,133
Give my regards to Mr. Quincy.

45
00:06:47,263 --> 00:06:48,483
Go!

46
00:07:15,383 --> 00:07:16,543
Damn...!

47
00:08:04,803 --> 00:08:09,963
This is Chopper 3. Incident at the Gulf and Bradley
Building. Emergency dispatch!

48
00:09:14,243 --> 00:09:14,903
Where's the assailant?

49
00:09:14,903 --> 00:09:15,513
Where's the assailant?
It appears to have fled to the river.

50
00:09:15,513 --> 00:09:16,533
It appears to have fled to the river.

51
00:09:16,843 --> 00:09:19,433
We've extended the dragnet out to twenty miles.

52
00:09:19,583 --> 00:09:22,773
That's thinning it out, but we've got no choice.

53
00:09:22,843 --> 00:09:24,953
What does our survivor have to say?

54
00:09:25,153 --> 00:09:28,003
He says he couldn't see the attacker's face at all.

55
00:09:28,383 --> 00:09:30,823
Also, that he has no idea who it could have been.

56
00:09:30,953 --> 00:09:33,553
Probably because there are too many possibilities.

57
00:09:33,663 --> 00:09:34,783
Huh?

58
00:09:34,923 --> 00:09:37,723
The victim was the Chairman of a major concern.

59
00:09:37,793 --> 00:09:40,563
There'd be as many people with scores
to settle as there are stars in the sky.

60
00:09:40,703 --> 00:09:42,823
Then the other victims were just collateral?

61
00:09:42,973 --> 00:09:45,303
Could be.

62
00:09:57,713 --> 00:09:59,743
How about this, Madam?

63
00:09:59,883 --> 00:10:00,903
Thank you.

64
00:10:01,653 --> 00:10:03,583
Tokyo is only 30 minutes away.

65
00:10:03,723 --> 00:10:05,243
I see.

66
00:10:14,563 --> 00:10:16,213
Is something worrying you?

67
00:10:19,133 --> 00:10:21,133
I'm scared, Kou...

68
00:10:22,843 --> 00:10:30,013
...not that I might die, but of what I'm trying to do now...

69
00:10:30,153 --> 00:10:32,083
We can still turn back.

70
00:10:32,213 --> 00:10:38,113
Uh-uh. I decided on this myself.
I don't intend to turn back.

71
00:10:38,853 --> 00:10:41,523
I don't intend to quit, but...

72
00:10:56,843 --> 00:11:00,743
Miss Vision, what are your first impressions of Tokyo?

73
00:11:00,883 --> 00:11:04,943
I'm not really sure. I just got here yesterday.

74
00:11:05,083 --> 00:11:08,313
I expect to be able to give a meaningful
answer when I've finished this tour.

75
00:11:08,453 --> 00:11:11,783
Why did you come here a whole week before your concert?

76
00:11:11,923 --> 00:11:14,623
Because there are several places I want to visit.

77
00:11:14,763 --> 00:11:20,063
May I inquire as to why you've suddenly gone back on live tour?

78
00:11:20,203 --> 00:11:23,363
Because I want to present new emotions with my music.

79
00:11:24,033 --> 00:11:25,323
New emotions?

80
00:11:25,933 --> 00:11:30,633
Yes. I want to sing about all kinds of human emotion.

81
00:11:30,673 --> 00:11:42,483
Joy, grief, laughter, despair, regret,
anger, malice... all emotions.

82
00:11:42,623 --> 00:11:47,053
Word is that, after her press conference,
Miss Vision disappeared, as usual.

83
00:11:47,193 --> 00:11:50,373
Let's switch briefly to Ms. Nakamura, in Shibuya. Ms. Nakamura?

84
00:11:50,373 --> 00:11:54,993
Hi, this is Nakamura. Take a look at this line. Isn't it incredible?

85
00:11:55,133 --> 00:12:00,763
It's made up of Vision's fans, who are here
to buy advance tickets for her concert.

86
00:12:01,003 --> 00:12:03,303
Excuse me, Miss, how long have you been in line?

87
00:12:03,443 --> 00:12:05,173
Since 3:00 A.M.

88
00:12:05,313 --> 00:12:07,373
Do you like Vision?

89
00:12:07,513 --> 00:12:11,833
You bet! I've got all her CDs and LDs, starting with her debut!

90
00:12:12,183 --> 00:12:14,613
I'm a big, big, big, BIG fan!

91
00:12:14,753 --> 00:12:18,413
Gimme a break. You're buying them only
because she's popular right now.

92
00:12:18,553 --> 00:12:20,113
You don't like her?

93
00:12:20,263 --> 00:12:22,523
It's not her singing, it's her marketing technique that gets me.

94
00:12:22,593 --> 00:12:25,963
She's a complete question mark. Age, personal history, nothing.

95
00:12:26,033 --> 00:12:28,223
Who's she supposed to be, Batman?!

96
00:12:29,003 --> 00:12:30,733
Kinda takes after you, doesn't she, Priss.

97
00:12:30,873 --> 00:12:32,863
Oh, is that so?

98
00:12:36,073 --> 00:12:38,673
What's on your mind, Linna?

99
00:12:38,813 --> 00:12:42,403
I feel like I've met this singer, Vision, before.

100
00:12:42,543 --> 00:12:47,353
No way! Must have been someone who just happened to resemble her.

101
00:13:08,943 --> 00:13:10,703
How much longer, Shin?

102
00:13:10,843 --> 00:13:12,173
Give us two more hours!

103
00:13:12,313 --> 00:13:15,283
We move out at midnight! And listen, if anything goes wrong...

104
00:13:15,343 --> 00:13:18,043
...put Miss Reika's personal safety first, and act accordingly.

105
00:13:18,113 --> 00:13:22,113
Protect her with your lives. Don't worry about me at all!

106
00:13:34,703 --> 00:13:37,123
Dear Reika, how are you?

107
00:13:37,403 --> 00:13:41,083
I think I mentioned my engagement in my last letter.

108
00:13:41,473 --> 00:13:47,803
The top news this time is this. He gave
it to me. Pretty nice design, huh?

109
00:13:48,543 --> 00:13:55,223
I told him about you; he says he'd really
like to meet you. In other news...

110
00:13:55,453 --> 00:14:01,193
...some friends threw a bachelorette party
for me. Here are some snapshots.

111
00:14:01,393 --> 00:14:04,193
Wanted: A Good Man
Everyone picked on me, and I got teased a lot...

112
00:14:04,273 --> 00:14:06,763
Everyone picked on me, and I got teased a lot...
Traitor! I want half! Damn! Old Bag!

113
00:14:07,193 --> 00:14:09,863
...but it was really a fun party.

114
00:14:11,133 --> 00:14:13,163
It looks like we'll be postponing the wedding date slightly.

115
00:14:13,873 --> 00:14:16,103
I'll let you know as soon as it's set...

116
00:14:16,173 --> 00:14:19,803
...so please attend, even if you have to break a concert date.

117
00:14:19,883 --> 00:14:25,043
I hope Grandfather, Kou, and the rest
can come too. Well, that's it for now.

118
00:14:25,113 --> 00:14:27,643
Goodbye, Sis.

119
00:14:35,093 --> 00:14:38,623
You took three seconds, Madam.

120
00:14:38,693 --> 00:14:41,863
In a real situation, that would have been enough to kill you.

121
00:14:42,633 --> 00:14:45,903
First of all, not noticing my footsteps showed a lack of attention.

122
00:14:47,873 --> 00:14:51,973
Kou, if you were to give me a score for this, what would it be?

123
00:14:52,613 --> 00:14:55,873
Say, 50 out of a possible 100?

124
00:14:56,583 --> 00:14:58,313
About a 20, I think.

125
00:15:43,633 --> 00:15:47,543
Dr. McLaren, the rate of epidermal cell adhesion is tapering off.

126
00:15:47,763 --> 00:15:50,213
It's a sign that it's nearly complete.

127
00:15:51,903 --> 00:15:57,393
Looking at it makes me think that strength
and ugliness go hand-in-hand.

128
00:16:00,013 --> 00:16:04,883
A regular modern-day Frankenstein's Monster, huh?

129
00:16:10,723 --> 00:16:12,913
Emergency in Block 24!

130
00:16:21,603 --> 00:16:24,963
The outer wall is too thick! We'll use one of the walkways to get in!

131
00:16:25,103 --> 00:16:25,963
Roger!

132
00:16:29,003 --> 00:16:31,253
Intruder is heading for Walkway 2!

133
00:16:35,013 --> 00:16:36,173
There's someone in the walkway!

134
00:16:36,413 --> 00:16:38,243
Shoot! It's someone from Genom!

135
00:16:38,383 --> 00:16:39,093
No!

136
00:16:39,313 --> 00:16:40,283
Miss Reika!

137
00:16:40,423 --> 00:16:42,763
No, Kou! I can't shoot him!

138
00:17:02,773 --> 00:17:04,453
Enough!

139
00:17:06,813 --> 00:17:07,933
Damage?

140
00:17:08,083 --> 00:17:12,313
Nine Boomers and four areas of structural
damage. Fortunately, no serious injuries.

141
00:17:12,383 --> 00:17:17,583
Test models also undamaged. Intruder has escaped and disappeared.

142
00:17:17,723 --> 00:17:20,383
Is this machine the same as the one in Houston?

143
00:17:20,523 --> 00:17:25,153
Absolutely! Mr. Quincy, I'm returning to Texas.

144
00:17:25,233 --> 00:17:28,773
The Boomer is nearly complete. I'm no longer needed here.

145
00:17:28,933 --> 00:17:32,523
No! You will remain here until all the tests are completed.

146
00:17:32,523 --> 00:17:33,463
But...!

147
00:17:33,573 --> 00:17:38,563
I have a general idea who it was.
It must be the Chang Group.

148
00:17:38,673 --> 00:17:40,773
You mean, Hou Bang?

149
00:17:41,743 --> 00:17:44,143
Could they be after the New Boomer?

150
00:17:44,283 --> 00:17:49,123
Probably. Dr. McLaren, you're not the target.

151
00:17:49,253 --> 00:17:53,023
Take some RandR for a week or so.

152
00:17:59,793 --> 00:18:04,683
Get a load of this! There's nothing left!

153
00:18:08,403 --> 00:18:11,803
A ceramic blastproof overlay.

154
00:18:15,013 --> 00:18:17,363
Wait a moment, please. I can't let you in here!

155
00:18:18,583 --> 00:18:21,783
AD Police. Let me check around!

156
00:18:27,693 --> 00:18:34,543
I trust you have a search warrant. Our company does have its secrets.

157
00:18:34,733 --> 00:18:38,213
Entry into this section is forbidden to outside personnel.

158
00:18:39,803 --> 00:18:44,433
All I can see is that you're trying to hide something, you know?

159
00:18:44,573 --> 00:18:46,513
What might we be hiding?

160
00:18:46,643 --> 00:18:51,313
Something in violation of the law... like,
maybe, a new type of Boomer.

161
00:18:51,383 --> 00:18:55,773
You can't be serious. First of all, we're the victims.

162
00:18:56,153 --> 00:18:57,553
Victims, huh?

163
00:18:59,623 --> 00:19:00,953
What... what are you...?

164
00:19:07,903 --> 00:19:11,753
A little overkill, don't you think?

165
00:19:23,983 --> 00:19:27,393
You think you're Harry Lime, choosing
a place like this for a meeting?

166
00:19:27,783 --> 00:19:30,773
Just a little change of atmosphere...

167
00:19:30,853 --> 00:19:34,353
...besides, we won't have to worry about eavesdroppers.

168
00:19:34,423 --> 00:19:37,523
So what's the job this time?

169
00:19:38,863 --> 00:19:44,093
Complete details are on the disc.
I'll just hit the highlights.

170
00:19:44,173 --> 00:19:48,163
An executive of a certain corporation is in Japan at Genom's invitation.

171
00:19:48,243 --> 00:19:50,703
The job is bodyguarding that bigwig.

172
00:19:50,843 --> 00:19:55,163
Bodyguarding someone associated with
Genom? That doesn't sit well with me.

173
00:19:55,163 --> 00:20:00,073
The fee is 50,000,000! 30 in advance, 20 on successful completion.

174
00:20:00,223 --> 00:20:01,133
All right, I suppose.

175
00:20:01,523 --> 00:20:05,713
Now, whoever's after him is extremely tough.

176
00:20:06,053 --> 00:20:08,973
I hear they took out a Boomer in one shot.

177
00:20:09,523 --> 00:20:12,583
It may be a bodyguarding job, but you'll be risking your life.

178
00:20:12,893 --> 00:20:15,313
Please be as careful as you can.

179
00:20:15,313 --> 00:20:18,463
Your bodyguarding must be in secret, nothing overt.

180
00:20:18,533 --> 00:20:22,653
This is an insistent request of the client, Dr. McLaren.

181
00:20:27,713 --> 00:20:32,743
"Drop the investigation?!" What the hell does that mean?

182
00:20:32,813 --> 00:20:34,913
Please tell me why!

183
00:20:35,053 --> 00:20:41,583
Upstairs said to remove you. I don't
know any more than that either.

184
00:20:41,723 --> 00:20:44,323
Genom's bringing pressure, huh?

185
00:20:44,393 --> 00:20:47,803
Chief, there's more to this than just some terrorist attack!

186
00:20:47,903 --> 00:20:48,963
We've got to check out Genom! What's your problem?

187
00:20:48,963 --> 00:20:51,863
We've got to check out Genom! What's your problem?
Here. Brought you something.

188
00:20:53,233 --> 00:20:54,933
Tickets to the Vision concert?

189
00:20:55,073 --> 00:20:56,403
Right!

190
00:20:57,913 --> 00:21:00,203
Oh, wow! Front-row seats!

191
00:21:00,343 --> 00:21:02,403
These weren't easy to get!

192
00:21:02,403 --> 00:21:03,943
Thank you!

193
00:21:03,943 --> 00:21:07,013
I have no intention of dropping this case, you hear me?!

194
00:21:10,473 --> 00:21:11,333
Daley.

195
00:21:13,993 --> 00:21:21,043
I hereby place Detectives Daley Wong and
Leon McNichol on two weeks' paid leave.

196
00:21:21,703 --> 00:21:27,533
They are absolutely forbidden to work.
Investigatively or otherwise.

197
00:21:27,843 --> 00:21:28,973
Yes, sir!

198
00:21:29,103 --> 00:21:33,263
Don't let that hothead boil over. And be careful.

199
00:21:55,933 --> 00:21:57,463
Here we are.

200
00:22:03,373 --> 00:22:05,343
Big, isn't it.

201
00:22:07,683 --> 00:22:11,773
Even a lowball estimate of its cost would be about 700 billion.

202
00:22:11,913 --> 00:22:15,643
What the hell is Genom planning to build here, anyway?

203
00:22:16,353 --> 00:22:19,103
Their answer to Disneyland, maybe?

204
00:22:19,923 --> 00:22:22,813
Well, I don't see Mickey Mouse anywhere.

205
00:22:29,233 --> 00:22:30,443
Well, well, well...

206
00:22:30,733 --> 00:22:32,363
Is it Snow White?

207
00:22:32,503 --> 00:22:34,903
No, it's someone who'd make her eat the poisoned apple.

208
00:22:34,973 --> 00:22:39,463
Chairman Quincy himself has come out to see the jobsite.

209
00:22:42,713 --> 00:22:44,513
So where to now?

210
00:22:44,653 --> 00:22:45,963
The St. Regis Hotel.

211
00:22:45,963 --> 00:22:46,893
The St. Regis Hotel.
Huh?

212
00:22:48,783 --> 00:22:50,753
There go our paychecks.

213
00:22:50,893 --> 00:22:53,453
We're not going to check in.

214
00:22:53,593 --> 00:22:59,623
Makes no difference. A cup of coffee there costs two or three thousand.

215
00:23:05,103 --> 00:23:09,763
Oh, I hate this. It's like being in a steambath.

216
00:23:09,903 --> 00:23:13,613
We had to get a room from which we could monitor the hotel!

217
00:23:13,613 --> 00:23:15,203
It's just for a little while longer.

218
00:23:15,343 --> 00:23:21,543
I know all that, but they get to take it nice and easy, at poolside.

219
00:23:25,623 --> 00:23:30,383
Uh-oh, he's a dirty old man. Be careful he doesn't jump you, Nene.

220
00:23:30,733 --> 00:23:33,923
Here you go, sir. One Blue Hawaii.

221
00:23:36,303 --> 00:23:40,703
I should've gotten to infiltrate the hotel, too.

222
00:23:40,843 --> 00:23:41,683
What the!

223
00:23:41,823 --> 00:23:42,483
What is it?

224
00:23:42,483 --> 00:23:44,983
Fifth floor coffee shop. Window seat.

225
00:23:47,113 --> 00:23:50,133
Leon! What's he doing here?

226
00:23:50,133 --> 00:23:52,643
There would seem to be more to this job than meets the eye.

227
00:23:52,713 --> 00:23:54,323
Things are getting interesting, wouldn't you say?

228
00:23:56,323 --> 00:23:57,153
You figure it out?

229
00:23:57,293 --> 00:24:00,883
Yeah. When our expert analyzed the photos...

230
00:24:00,963 --> 00:24:03,253
...he said the tower was a production factory...

231
00:24:03,323 --> 00:24:05,693
...and the city-like area was a mock-battle stage.

232
00:24:05,833 --> 00:24:06,923
For Boomers?

233
00:24:07,063 --> 00:24:09,293
Yep! A performance testing ground.

234
00:24:10,333 --> 00:24:12,763
Things are getting interesting, aren't they.

235
00:24:21,343 --> 00:24:25,183
Room Service. I've brought the champagne you ordered.

236
00:24:28,783 --> 00:24:30,883
Pardon me.

237
00:24:32,253 --> 00:24:35,993
Yes, this is the St. Regis Hotel, Room 2011.

238
00:24:36,223 --> 00:24:41,593
No, not another blonde. Hmm... I think an Oriental today.

239
00:24:41,663 --> 00:24:43,323
Make sure she's young.

240
00:24:43,463 --> 00:24:47,263
Very good, sir. I think it'll take about an hour.

241
00:24:48,143 --> 00:24:50,403
Yes, sir, we'll send you an incomparable beauty.

242
00:24:51,343 --> 00:24:53,363
Sylia, do you read me?

243
00:24:54,113 --> 00:24:55,943
Looks like he's ordered up another call girl for tonight.

244
00:24:56,013 --> 00:24:57,643
Nothing else to report.

245
00:24:57,783 --> 00:25:00,303
Roger. Continue surveillance.

246
00:25:00,453 --> 00:25:01,783
OK.

247
00:25:06,853 --> 00:25:09,853
After we went to all the trouble to buy off the hotel manager...

248
00:25:09,923 --> 00:25:13,093
...we should have put concealed cameras and microphones in there.

249
00:25:14,033 --> 00:25:17,163
We couldn't intrude on the client's privacy, now, could we?

250
00:25:17,303 --> 00:25:21,203
But just having him wear a transmitter isn't good enough.

251
00:25:21,343 --> 00:25:23,773
I don't think the enemy wants to assassinate him.

252
00:25:24,243 --> 00:25:24,933
Huh?

253
00:25:26,073 --> 00:25:27,943
There were plenty of opportunities to kill McLaren...

254
00:25:28,013 --> 00:25:29,373
...during the Texas incident last March...

255
00:25:29,443 --> 00:25:33,853
...but the attackers didn't do so.
Don't you think that's strange?

256
00:25:34,683 --> 00:25:37,953
Then there's this unofficial FBI report.

257
00:25:38,023 --> 00:25:40,853
Last December, the U.S. Dept. of Defense held a competition...

258
00:25:40,923 --> 00:25:42,793
...for the purpose of introducing new weapons.

259
00:25:44,263 --> 00:25:49,063
Six companies, including Gulf and Bradley
and Genom, competed, and in the end...

260
00:25:49,133 --> 00:25:52,833
...the winner was the GD-42, a combat robot...

261
00:25:52,903 --> 00:25:57,203
...built by Kyuusei lndustries, of which Chang is Chairman.

262
00:25:57,473 --> 00:26:02,003
Formed from a base of Asian-American immigrants, the Chang Group...

263
00:26:02,083 --> 00:26:06,073
...has had an antagonistic relationship
with Gulf and Bradley for over a decade.

264
00:26:06,713 --> 00:26:08,203
Why's that?

265
00:26:08,353 --> 00:26:11,553
Chang's son and daughter-in-law died fifteen years ago.

266
00:26:12,553 --> 00:26:15,453
It seems to have been a murder made
to look like a traffic accident.

267
00:26:15,493 --> 00:26:17,723
Gulf and Bradley were thought to have been behind it...

268
00:26:17,793 --> 00:26:20,493
...but they were found not guilty, due to lack of evidence.

269
00:26:21,263 --> 00:26:27,433
Genom and Gulf and Bradley entered into
their partnership this past January.

270
00:26:27,573 --> 00:26:29,393
So the Chang Group are the culprits?

271
00:26:29,903 --> 00:26:34,313
If so, why did they wait fifteen years before taking revenge?

272
00:26:54,063 --> 00:26:55,933
What's your name?

273
00:26:56,063 --> 00:26:57,363
My name is Irene.

274
00:26:57,503 --> 00:26:58,563
That's a nice name.

275
00:27:11,983 --> 00:27:15,443
Pretty good for a man his age. This is the fourth night in a row.

276
00:27:15,583 --> 00:27:18,383
Tell me about it! C'mere...

277
00:27:26,663 --> 00:27:31,533
He suddenly clutched at his chest, moaning in pain.

278
00:27:31,673 --> 00:27:35,693
That's why he should have been more concerned about his age!

279
00:27:37,143 --> 00:27:39,733
They just left the room. Looks like they're taking him to the hospital.

280
00:27:40,013 --> 00:27:43,073
One of the bodyguards is still in the room, along with the call girl.

281
00:28:04,903 --> 00:28:07,963
Be careful, Priss. There's something funny about that ambulance.

282
00:28:08,403 --> 00:28:09,633
Roger!

283
00:28:23,623 --> 00:28:25,813
Where are we? Hey!

284
00:28:34,133 --> 00:28:36,363
Get out of that ambulance!

285
00:29:01,493 --> 00:29:03,923
Let's do it!

286
00:29:07,463 --> 00:29:08,453
No effect!

287
00:29:24,213 --> 00:29:26,613
I must have contracted Miss Reika's disease.

288
00:29:29,483 --> 00:29:31,473
The patient's gone? Is this some kind of joke?

289
00:29:31,623 --> 00:29:34,143
Why, no. You see, the ambulance already came.

290
00:29:34,293 --> 00:29:36,383
It already came?

291
00:29:37,493 --> 00:29:38,963
We're going back to the office.

292
00:29:39,093 --> 00:29:40,923
Then what?

293
00:29:41,063 --> 00:29:42,793
We open a kidnapping investigation!

294
00:30:10,293 --> 00:30:15,993
I got trashed. It was embarrassing.

295
00:30:18,303 --> 00:30:18,893
Priss!

296
00:30:25,673 --> 00:30:28,233
Why, that's Irene's...!

297
00:30:44,893 --> 00:30:49,063
Dr. McLaren is abducted, Linna goes missing...

298
00:30:49,403 --> 00:30:54,273
...and to top it off, Priss gets a broken arm.
Everything's going wrong.

299
00:30:54,403 --> 00:30:59,433
When Linna's transmission was cut off, she was near Irene's grave.

300
00:30:59,513 --> 00:31:04,033
I have a feeling there's a connection.
Would you check the data on Irene?

301
00:31:04,183 --> 00:31:07,743
OK. I wonder if Linna's all right.

302
00:31:11,893 --> 00:31:18,293
I don't think she's from Genom, but she
could be a bodyguard McLaren hired.

303
00:31:18,363 --> 00:31:22,263
I consider it expedient to keep her captive for now.

304
00:31:28,043 --> 00:31:32,303
I'm sorry we were so rough with you.

305
00:31:32,373 --> 00:31:37,613
You were in Irene's letters, weren't you.
Were you a friend of hers?

306
00:31:40,213 --> 00:31:43,243
You're Reika, aren't you. Irene's older sister.

307
00:31:44,153 --> 00:31:44,913
Yes.

308
00:31:45,523 --> 00:31:48,893
Just what are you trying to do? Tell me, Vision!

309
00:31:50,423 --> 00:31:53,223
Irene told me that her sister was a singer.

310
00:31:54,093 --> 00:31:56,493
I didn't recognize you at first, without your make-up...

311
00:31:56,563 --> 00:32:00,333
...but you're Vision! There's no doubt about it!

312
00:32:01,043 --> 00:32:04,063
Mr. Kou, there's a call for you, from Mr. Chang.

313
00:32:07,813 --> 00:32:09,783
It's been quite some time, Mr. Chang.

314
00:32:09,913 --> 00:32:13,213
How is it going, Kou?

315
00:32:13,353 --> 00:32:17,753
We have McLaren. And Miss Reika is still the same.

316
00:32:17,893 --> 00:32:25,553
Hmm... Now, how is Reika's fighting performance? Speak frankly.

317
00:32:27,263 --> 00:32:31,533
Miss Reika is too soft. She can't bring herself to kill people.

318
00:32:32,633 --> 00:32:37,433
Her hatred of Miss Irene's death fuels her desire for revenge, but...

319
00:32:37,913 --> 00:32:43,843
It was my beloved granddaughter's wish.
Even I could not refuse her.

320
00:32:43,913 --> 00:32:48,613
I didn't want to drag her into the shadow world, but...

321
00:32:48,753 --> 00:32:51,363
I understand how you feel, Sir.

322
00:32:51,363 --> 00:32:56,283
I am old. You are the only one upon whom I can rely now.

323
00:32:56,793 --> 00:33:00,823
We will protect Miss Reika, even if it costs our lives.

324
00:33:01,363 --> 00:33:04,023
I'm counting on you, Kou!

325
00:33:12,713 --> 00:33:17,443
My family, the Changs, has led Hou Bang for generations.
"Hou Bang:" Literally, "The Tiger Corps"

326
00:33:17,443 --> 00:33:18,353
"Hou Bang:" Literally, "The Tiger Corps"

327
00:33:18,353 --> 00:33:19,613
"Hou Bang:" Literally, "The Tiger Corps"
"Hou Bang?"

328
00:33:19,753 --> 00:33:27,243
A secret society which was the basis for
my grandfather's success in the world.

329
00:33:27,723 --> 00:33:32,593
After my father died, there was a void
in the Hou Bang successorship.

330
00:33:32,663 --> 00:33:40,533
But I didn't particularly care... until she...
until Irene was killed by Genom.

331
00:33:40,603 --> 00:33:45,373
Then I was determined that I would have vengeance...

332
00:33:45,443 --> 00:33:50,403
...first, on the Chairman of Gulf and Bradley,
for killing my parents, and then...

333
00:33:50,543 --> 00:33:54,383
You're going to kill Quincy? With McLaren as bait?

334
00:33:54,523 --> 00:33:59,713
Yes. I'll kill him. I'll teach him about the pain he's caused us.

335
00:34:00,123 --> 00:34:01,643
Doing that for Irene's sake...

336
00:34:01,723 --> 00:34:03,523
Won't bring her back!

337
00:34:04,063 --> 00:34:11,973
I know that. I know it's pointless.
But... it hurts so much.

338
00:34:12,533 --> 00:34:15,533
I can't let him get away with it!

339
00:34:16,373 --> 00:34:18,823
What will you do after you've killed Quincy?

340
00:34:21,013 --> 00:34:23,743
You'll succeed to the leadership of Hou Bang?

341
00:34:23,813 --> 00:34:26,803
What about your singing?

342
00:34:29,083 --> 00:34:34,493
I'll give it up. This tour was bogus from the start, after all.

343
00:34:34,563 --> 00:34:39,933
Strange, isn't it. Time was that I hated
my own clan with a passion.

344
00:34:39,993 --> 00:34:42,513
But now I think of it with pride.

345
00:34:49,503 --> 00:34:53,943
Fluid temperature: 23 degrees C.
Ion concentration: 75%.

346
00:34:55,413 --> 00:34:58,363
Commencing armor plating.

347
00:34:59,553 --> 00:35:00,913
Mr. Quincy...

348
00:35:05,423 --> 00:35:07,833
The man who abducted McLaren?

349
00:35:08,263 --> 00:35:09,593
Is this Quincy?

350
00:35:09,723 --> 00:35:12,753
You people went to a lot of unnecessary trouble.

351
00:35:12,893 --> 00:35:13,993
Unnecessary?

352
00:35:14,133 --> 00:35:18,223
The Boomer is finished. McLaren is a closed subject.

353
00:35:18,303 --> 00:35:20,893
Boil him, roast him, do what you like with him.

354
00:35:21,033 --> 00:35:21,763
Are you sure?

355
00:35:23,873 --> 00:35:27,903
No one knows the new type's limitations and weaknessess better than McLaren.

356
00:35:27,983 --> 00:35:33,143
Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa...
Lots of people will want McLaren.

357
00:35:33,213 --> 00:35:35,653
Your new type would soon be unsaleable.

358
00:35:35,723 --> 00:35:39,743
No one will want a weapon that's had all its secrets exposed.

359
00:35:40,793 --> 00:35:42,313
What are your demands?

360
00:35:42,463 --> 00:35:46,723
I want to deal with you face-to-face.
I'll give you my demands at that time.

361
00:35:46,863 --> 00:35:51,193
You want to meet with me personally?
Will I be dealing with Mr. Chang?

362
00:35:51,333 --> 00:35:52,633
That's right.

363
00:35:52,773 --> 00:35:59,703
All right. Suppose we meet at 17:00 tomorrow, at Artificial Island D-35?

364
00:35:59,843 --> 00:36:02,043
Are you thinking of trying something underhanded?

365
00:36:02,183 --> 00:36:03,703
Is that an objection?

366
00:36:03,843 --> 00:36:06,543
No, that's fine. Tomorrow, then.

367
00:36:11,493 --> 00:36:14,153
Activate in two hours! Prepare for testing!

368
00:36:14,293 --> 00:36:14,813
Yessir!

369
00:36:15,663 --> 00:36:21,603
A public servant, moonlighting... Naughty, naughty, Nene.

370
00:36:21,733 --> 00:36:23,613
What do you want?

371
00:36:26,473 --> 00:36:29,623
I want you to check the computer for connections to this case.

372
00:36:30,273 --> 00:36:33,103
Let me know as soon as you've got anything.

373
00:36:36,743 --> 00:36:40,983
I understand you were a friend of Miss Irene's.

374
00:36:41,853 --> 00:36:43,843
I'm sorry about the cramped accommodations...

375
00:36:43,923 --> 00:36:46,353
...but I ask you to bear with them just a little longer.

376
00:36:46,423 --> 00:36:49,723
That lock will automatically disengage in twenty-four hours.

377
00:36:50,093 --> 00:36:53,363
Tomorrow night, you will be free.

378
00:36:53,493 --> 00:36:57,733
Wait! Are you going to kill Quincy tomorrow?

379
00:36:57,803 --> 00:36:59,603
Don't drag that girl into this!

380
00:36:59,673 --> 00:37:02,763
Do you want to make Reika... Vision... a murderer?

381
00:37:02,843 --> 00:37:06,863
Don't you realize she's just acting out of despair?
If you keep supporting her...

382
00:37:06,863 --> 00:37:08,283
What do YOU know?!

383
00:37:08,943 --> 00:37:14,953
You don't know how grief-stricken Miss
Reika was when she lost Miss Irene!

384
00:37:15,623 --> 00:37:20,523
To see Miss Reika smile again, I'd kill Quincy, even if he was a god!

385
00:37:25,093 --> 00:37:26,803
You're so wrong about this!

386
00:37:37,813 --> 00:37:42,503
Carl Baker's 4:00 piano concerto at the Yokohama Bayside Hall...

387
00:37:42,583 --> 00:37:44,513
...still has seats available.

388
00:37:44,583 --> 00:37:49,993
Tickets for the Rumenka Mupata Combo
go on sale on the 20th of this month.

389
00:37:50,283 --> 00:37:53,223
And finally, the opening concert of Vision's tour, beginning tonight...

390
00:37:53,293 --> 00:37:56,913
...at the New Tokyo Dome, is sold out.

391
00:38:01,903 --> 00:38:04,393
I get absolutely nothing on Irene's past.

392
00:38:04,463 --> 00:38:07,263
I can only guess that there's some major organization concealing it.

393
00:38:07,833 --> 00:38:10,063
I'm trying to find a password, but...

394
00:38:10,203 --> 00:38:12,803
And there's still no movement on Quincy's end, either.

395
00:38:13,673 --> 00:38:15,853
Maybe I miscalculated.

396
00:38:20,453 --> 00:38:24,653
A chopper just left that lab. Looks like it's heading for Genom Tower.

397
00:38:37,103 --> 00:38:38,663
Linna!

398
00:38:44,203 --> 00:38:45,263
You all right, Linna?

399
00:38:45,373 --> 00:38:46,383
Priss!

400
00:38:50,913 --> 00:38:53,313
Nene, are you all right today?

401
00:38:53,453 --> 00:38:55,043
"Am I all right?"

402
00:39:01,523 --> 00:39:03,393
The concert's tonight!

403
00:39:03,523 --> 00:39:05,813
You mean you forgot?

404
00:39:16,073 --> 00:39:18,543
Roger! Quincy's made his move.

405
00:39:18,673 --> 00:39:21,613
I'll bring the car around!

406
00:39:21,743 --> 00:39:22,483
Leon! I've got it!

407
00:39:22,483 --> 00:39:23,503
Leon! I've got it!
We'll talk in the car!

408
00:39:26,913 --> 00:39:28,853
Come on, Linna!

409
00:39:52,343 --> 00:39:57,163
So it's just you two, after all. Well? What are your demands?

410
00:39:57,163 --> 00:39:59,443
I demand your life!

411
00:39:59,583 --> 00:40:02,313
Oh? For what reason?

412
00:40:02,453 --> 00:40:04,883
Does the name Irene ring any bells?

413
00:40:05,023 --> 00:40:06,003
No.

414
00:40:06,093 --> 00:40:09,653
It's the name of my little sister, who was killed a year ago...

415
00:40:09,653 --> 00:40:11,423
...for the sake of your rotten, filthy dreams!

416
00:40:11,863 --> 00:40:16,353
I know nothing about it. I have far too many dreams, you see.

417
00:40:16,763 --> 00:40:20,893
Don't play innocent! I won't let you just bury your head in the sand!

418
00:40:21,073 --> 00:40:25,813
Well, then, it just doesn't make any sense to me at all.

419
00:40:25,813 --> 00:40:30,473
So a little girl like you is going to take revenge, huh?

420
00:40:32,113 --> 00:40:37,863
It's really stupid of you to cause such
an uproar over just one little girl...

421
00:40:49,333 --> 00:40:51,323
Stop this pointless fighting!

422
00:40:51,383 --> 00:40:52,163
Linna!

423
00:40:52,183 --> 00:40:54,103
Shut up, Genom agents!

424
00:40:54,153 --> 00:40:55,783
You're wrong! We're...

425
00:40:55,833 --> 00:40:57,303
The Knight Sabers!

426
00:40:58,273 --> 00:41:01,473
They and you are two of a kind!

427
00:41:01,843 --> 00:41:04,893
Foolish rabble striking out at Genom!

428
00:41:05,683 --> 00:41:06,853
An android!

429
00:41:07,653 --> 00:41:12,233
Now that the performers are assembled,
let's raise the curtain on the show!

430
00:41:40,383 --> 00:41:41,393
I'll shake it off!

431
00:41:44,323 --> 00:41:47,583
This incident has its roots in the murder of Irene Chang.

432
00:41:47,723 --> 00:41:49,313
And the Texas incident?

433
00:41:49,693 --> 00:41:51,253
Was for the killing of her parents.

434
00:41:51,393 --> 00:41:52,263
And the culprit?

435
00:41:52,393 --> 00:41:56,733
Is Vision, I think... though I don't
know if she's the principal one.

436
00:41:56,733 --> 00:42:00,263
There... there are extenuating circumstances, aren't there?

437
00:42:00,403 --> 00:42:02,663
Shit! We're not moving an inch!

438
00:42:22,193 --> 00:42:23,763
Let me give you some advice.

439
00:42:24,093 --> 00:42:28,103
This town has a pile of booby-traps planted in it.

440
00:42:28,103 --> 00:42:32,593
Don't even think of hiding behind any of the buildings!

441
00:42:39,843 --> 00:42:41,283
The sucker's blind!

442
00:42:46,083 --> 00:42:47,143
The monitor!

443
00:42:47,283 --> 00:42:50,683
Can you see yet? I'll be your eyes!

444
00:42:51,083 --> 00:42:53,283
Reika, immobilize the thing!

445
00:42:53,423 --> 00:42:56,623
Linna, forget it! You just get yourselves out of here!

446
00:42:57,023 --> 00:42:58,003
Too late!

447
00:43:17,483 --> 00:43:18,653
Stinking monster!

448
00:43:18,883 --> 00:43:21,853
Kou! We'll blow it up with our self-destruct system!

449
00:43:21,983 --> 00:43:23,573
Did you copy that, Knight Sabers?

450
00:43:23,823 --> 00:43:25,053
What about you two?

451
00:43:25,053 --> 00:43:27,993
We've got an escape system! Now get away from here!

452
00:43:28,593 --> 00:43:30,413
Arming self-destruct system!

453
00:43:37,703 --> 00:43:38,593
Miss Reika!

454
00:43:42,223 --> 00:43:43,233
REIKA!

455
00:43:43,843 --> 00:43:44,903
Stay away!

456
00:43:47,313 --> 00:43:50,243
Get away! There's no time!

457
00:44:29,253 --> 00:44:32,083
You better hurry, or your concert's going to start without you.

458
00:44:32,553 --> 00:44:38,523
It's OK. I'm not going to sing anymore.
Besides, my revenge isn't finished yet.

459
00:44:39,163 --> 00:44:42,113
It won't be over until I kill Quincy...

460
00:44:44,333 --> 00:44:46,863
How long are you going to go on like that?

461
00:44:47,003 --> 00:44:50,733
But Irene won't rest in peace if I leave this undone!

462
00:45:01,413 --> 00:45:02,253
What's this?

463
00:45:05,293 --> 00:45:09,123
Irene was a typical pretty girl...

464
00:45:09,193 --> 00:45:12,753
...a girl at an age to delight in getting an engagement ring.

465
00:45:12,833 --> 00:45:16,853
Reika, I think there's another way besides revenge...

466
00:45:16,933 --> 00:45:21,833
...if you want to take Irene's hopes, and see them through.

467
00:45:21,973 --> 00:45:23,733
Linna...

468
00:45:30,413 --> 00:45:31,283
Leon...

469
00:45:32,413 --> 00:45:33,593
AD Police.

470
00:45:33,613 --> 00:45:38,723
I'm glad you're here. Those are the people who kidnapped me!

471
00:45:41,623 --> 00:45:44,043
I'm the kidnapper. She had nothing to do with it.

472
00:45:44,113 --> 00:45:44,613
Kou!

473
00:45:47,293 --> 00:45:48,853
Richard McLaren, you're under arrest...

474
00:45:48,933 --> 00:45:51,473
...on suspicion of violating the armaments-construction laws.

475
00:45:51,543 --> 00:45:52,443
Wait a minute!

476
00:45:52,443 --> 00:45:54,313
Not to mention multiple counts of soliciting prostitution...

477
00:45:54,313 --> 00:45:55,803
Oh, come on!

478
00:45:56,503 --> 00:46:00,143
Miss Vision, we appreciate your help in arresting this criminal.

479
00:46:01,573 --> 00:46:05,983
Therefore, we'd like to escort you to the concert grounds.

480
00:46:06,053 --> 00:46:07,243
Would that be all right?

481
00:46:12,093 --> 00:46:13,263
Yes!

482
00:46:33,973 --> 00:46:52,193
All who sleep in the nooks and corners
of the town, look.. the Sun also rises.

483
00:46:53,323 --> 00:47:10,773
The morning murmured these words to
my cold heart, lonely and closed off.

484
00:47:11,043 --> 00:47:27,993
I opened the door, took a deep breath,
and realized how blue the sky is.

485
00:47:28,563 --> 00:47:33,193
These brand-new days will not end...

486
00:47:33,273 --> 00:47:47,113
...because thousands of lights color
the shirt of my faded dreams.

487
00:47:47,353 --> 00:47:57,593
My heart will sing the unforgettable melody...

488
00:47:58,123 --> 00:48:14,443
...until I understand you more than
I do now. "No, never the end."

489
00:48:25,393 --> 00:48:32,553
"No, never the end..."

490
00:48:32,553 --> 00:48:34,553
