Original subtitles

Hey, what's the matter?

What's going on?

What happened?

Who the hell are you?

It looks like this was caused by a very sharp knife.

He fired all of his bullets.

If they were faced with someone that bad, why didn't they call for backup?

They didn't have time.

I wonder who could kill four officers all at once?

This was only the introduction to the terrible case

that was to send all of New York into a panic!

Jesus!

What is it?

It's getting cold tonight.

Yeah, let's go back to the station.

Attention all units:

An all points bulletin has been released for a murder 1 suspect.

He seems to be gunning for officers, so be on the lookout.

Repeating:

This suspect seems to be gunning for officers, so be on the lookout.

If you encounter the suspect, contact headquarters immediately!

Sleepy. Damn him. It's too late for this.

You're great, Sleepy!

This is the best way to get a sore back!

You're the cop killer!

Daizaburo!

Daizaburo!!

Hanna! Get on the phone to the police station!

Daizaburo!

You monster!

Sleepy!

Without your magnum, Sleepy, you're nothing more than an ordinary cop!

Bastard! How do you know my name?

Die!

Hold it!

You running away, you bastard?

It's him! Don't let him get away!

Daizaburo!

Perine!

Daizaburo! You're all right!

I heard you were attacked.

I was so worried!

I'm so glad you're safe!

Ahem.

Well, it's a good thing that Sleepy and Daizaburo made it out all right.

What was that thing coming out so suddenly?

It was out to kill cops, but why?

That's what I'm going to find out!

Sleepy?

What's that outfit for?

It's called armor.

For when I meet that freak again.

But look, he's got a rocket launcher!

A magnum can't penetrate his armor, and he'd slice your outfit up in a second!

You never know 'til you try!

When I see him again, I'll turn his mask inside out!

Take that, Capricorn!

Capricorn?

What's that?

That's what I named him.

Well Capricorn is the goat and that guy got my goat good in front of all the NYPD!

So I'll call him Capricorn!

I'm Captain Bean from the S.W.A.T. team.

We'll take care of the predator on our streets.

There's no way an ordinary cop can take on this one.

If you see the monster, don't try anything.

Just call us in, and let us handle it.

Hey, look at the weirdo!

Does he think he can kill the monster in that?

That's a good one!

You think you can do it?

Guns don't affect it!

Don't get cocky until you've seen it.

Huh? You know all about it!

Is it a good friend of yours?

I heard that you were the only cop who lived through an attack.

You must be the fastest chicken-shit coward on the force.

What?

Sleepy!

Calm down!

Calling all units!

The suspect has been spotted.

It's at a warehouse on West 6th street.

Repeating:

The suspect has been spotted.

It's at a warehouse on West 6th street.

There he is! Fire!

There he is!

You did it!

You idiots!

Don't get any closer!

It's only playing dead!

That bastard!

Sleepy!

Wait!

I'll be the one to get him!

Captain! Over there!

You bastard! Here I am!

Nice to see you, Sleepy.

You're wearing a mask, but I'd know you anywhere.

There aren't any pigs bigger than you.

How do you know me? Who are you?

Kevin, The Mafia Cop. Kevin Murphy.

No!

We were such good friends!

Don't you remember me?

That's stupid! Kevin died three years ago!

I came back from hell just to get revenge on you!

If you're really Kevin, take off your mask and let me see!

Then I'll take it off!

Asshole!

Now you can't even use that rocket launcher of yours!

Show me your face!

What's wrong? Shoot!

But I'll hit Sleepy!

This is an emergency! Shoot anyway!

Sleepy!

Take it up!

Sleepy! We'll save the finish for later.

His speed and jumping are as good as any Olympic athlete's.

But the main problem is his armor.

We think it's a heat resistant alloy,

which makes it the best combat armor I've ever seen.

It's bullet proof,

and extremely light-weight.

The question is where he could have gotten it,

and what he's after.

Isn't it just a grudge against the cops?

But isn't it kind of weird that his suit is so recognizable?

Hmm.

If we let him go on like this, we won't have any police left alive!

That's right! This will throw New York into chaos!

Sleepy, do you know anything about this?

Kevin Murphy:

He was transferred through several precincts in the NYPD.

Then, six years ago, he was promoted to detective.

After that, he was assigned to narcotics, but he resigned three years ago in disgrace.

And after that, I heard that he died, but there was no record of a funeral.

That means there is a possibility that he's still alive.

Yes. He had abdominal problems and was in and out of the hospital.

That's where the records end.

Was it serious?

He had terminal cancer.

We were good friends ever since our days at the Police Academy.

We were both born from poor immigrant families, and we had a lot in common.

He found out about his cancer only after he went into narcotics.

You bastard!

You're a narcotics officer!

Why the hell are you doing drugs and taking bribes?

That's my affair! Keep you nose out of my business!

His cancer was incurable.

He sold the information of his drug investigation to pay the bills for his operations.

Crying, he asked me to forget what I saw.

But I had to expose him.

I couldn't overlook the evil he'd done, even though he was my best friend!

He resigned in disgrace, and went back to his home town.

I heard he died there.

Well, if he is Kevin, it's possible that he still bears a grudge.

Not a chance! He knew my position!

That's why he resigned instead of fighting.

Hmmm.

By the way, Sleepy, I have a favor to ask...

You want to use me as a lure?

You're quick.

I'll let you know the plan later.

Keep on your toes.

Sleepy!

Why did you agree to that? He's just out to use you!

Don't you see that?

He's right! You won't just be a lure!

I know that. But I have to do whatever I can for Kevin!

Yankee Stadium. Midnight.

You now have a view of the Bronx Stadium,

where Officer Sleepy Estes and the monster that's been terrorizing all of

New York City will meet in a death match!

Never in living memory has there been a night like this!

The police have deserted the streets of New York!

All the businesses in the city have closed their doors.

The lights have gone out on the City That Never Sleeps.

Will the cop-killer, Capricorn, really show up?

There he is!

It's Officer Sleepy Estes!

Bazooka squad, get ready!

Yes sir!

What's that?

It's the S.W.A.T. guys!

When Capricorn shows up, they intend to blow up the both of them!

Dammit!

Don't shoot! It's jet fuel!

Damn him!

Sleepy!

I decided to take up your challenge.

Sleepy!

You're...

Ground troops, follow him!

I'll cover you in the helicopter!

Sleepy!

No! It can't be!

Don't let him get away!

Stop!

We've caught up!

He's headed for the ocean! Fire!

Call in the frogmen!

I don't think anyone could have survived that explosion.

There it is!

Kevin Murphy:

Born in Brooklyn.

His parents are both dead.

He does have one living sister.

A sister?

Cindy Murphy. She is more than ten years his junior.

She was something of a star in track and field.

She was favored in four Olympic track and field events.

She majored in Phys-Ed and was going to the Barcelona Olympics, but she suddenly quit.

Why?

Her brother was a cop just like you, but he had to resign because of a drug scandal.

I guess the committee heard about the scandal...

That's right.

The Olympic committee trumped up some flimsy charges and canceled her

eligibility for the American team.

And because of all her brother did for her, she didn't object to the committee's decision,

so that they couldn't drag her brother's name through the mud.

So where is she now?

Well, her brother came down with something...

She had to go back home to take care of him.

Hi Sleepy! What's wrong? You look down.

Is it you day off?

Let me cheer you up like I used to!

You're really in a bad mood, aren't you?

You really should get that monster, fast!

I mean, it's easy to do business when there aren't any cops, but it sort of takes the fun out of it.

What's with that face?

He's just no fun tonight!

Maybe he can't get it up.

Dammit! I can't believe it! She can't be a murderer!

Hmm.

Thanks.

It's you!

Sleepy, remember me?

Cindy!

Yep.

What are you doing? Don't you hate me?

Let's drink a toast to my brother.

I do hate you! You caused the scandal that forced my brother off the force.

But I never was able to kill you. I guess it's because you smell just like him. Only you.

I knew!

I knew that he was lying when he said he was the «Mafia Cop» to make money for his operations.

It was really for you.

His cancer was incurable by then.

I knew that, too.

Then, why...

We were best friends!

I couldn't bear to see him drowning in the Mafia money.

So, Kevin is dead...

Yeah,

but it wasn't from the cancer. He was murdered.

After I went to college, I needed a lot of money for special training and coach's fees.

My brother was determined to provide for me.

Even after he resigned from the force...

He stole some of the Mafia drugs and pushed them himself

The Mafia found out. And they pronounced their judgment.

He was buried alive!

Kevin!

Before he died, he managed to contact me.

I called the police.

I pleaded for them to save him!

I begged the Special Narcotics Division to do anything!

But they remembered his scandal and didn't lift a finger to help.

But that's no reason to go around killing any cop you find!

He may have been a bad cop, but he was the only family I had.

The Mafia and the police together killed my brother!

Cindy! You don't mean to get revenge on the police AND the Mafia!

Don't! You've got to stop the killing!

You've got to, or I'll...

Kill me?

Sleepy! Stay with me tonight!

If only for one night...

I need someone so bad I can't stand it!

I'm so sad and lonely...

I just want to sleep in the arms of a man as caring as my brother was!

Cindy!

Hold me, Sleepy!

Then I can end it!

You smell like my brother...

I hate the smell of cops, but this is just how my brother smelled.

When I used to cry, my brother carried me on his back until I stopped.

Kevin!

We were all alone in the world!

Look at me.

It took a lot of money to put this body into the shape it's in.

But who should I show it to?

This body...

That trophy...

Just who was I doing it all for?

Sleepy! You're the only one!

Cindy...

Brother! Big brother!

Big brother! Let's play piggyback!

Let's play piggyback, just like we used to!

Cindy!

Is this what you wanted, Cindy?

Where's your gun? You're always wearing it here.

Why is it gone, now?

How's this?

Can you kill me, uncle Sleepy?

Cindy! What...

Where are you going?

This Combat Suit was developed by a Japanese company, using Mafia money.

They wanted to prove the suit by sending it up against cops.

If it passed the tests, they would sell it to the military.

W... What's that?

If the military doesn't want to buy it,

they can always get a good price by selling it to terrorists.

I was kidnapped by the Mafia, and they told me I could payoff my brother's debts by

testing this suit and killing cops.

I was overjoyed!

What a chance to get revenge on both the cops and the Mafia!

Those Mafia bosses must be morons to give me this suit!

C... Cindy!

Cindy!

Have you seen Sleepy?

He was drinking over at Kenny's.

He went off with this real cute black girl.

I think they were headed for the Lower East Side.

I think that demonstration will do nicely. You put on a good show.

We should be able to sell the suit now.

With the press this suit has been getting,

we don't need the military, everyone will want one.

We'll make millions!

We're in business!

You did well, Cindy! Here's a special bonus for you.

What was that? Are you out of your mind?

Give me back my brother!

What?! It's too late for that!

You bitch!

Did you see a huge Puerto Rican and a black girl go by here?

I think they're shacking up over there.

Thanks.

Daizaburo! Daizaburo!

Yes, Daizaburo here!

It's bad! Capricorn has shown up again in a restaurant in Little Italy.

The Mafia is fighting it now. The military is on the way.

What?

Whoever you are! Get up here!

Sleepy!

Daizaburo! Get me out of here!

Sleepy!

She tricked me! Cindy is Capricorn, just as I thought!

Capricorn is battling the Mafia right now!

What?

We have to get over there before anyone gets themselves killed!

Hurry it up!

What are you doing? Get a move on!

But these things just aren't breaking!

Fire!

D... Dammit! That monster!

Leave this to me!

Like hell!

That things blowing up TANKS!

What the hell do you think YOU can do?

I CAN do it!

I'm the only one who can!

It's my responsibility!

I MUST do it!

Sleepy!

Don't worry about him! Attack!

W... Wait! Hold on!

Out of the way!

Please! Leave this to us!

We'll get Capricorn!

Take aim!

Daizaburo!

Hold it right there!

Cindy!

Get away, Sleepy!

My battle isn't over yet!

Stop it, Cindy!

You can't bring Kevin back this way!

No! No!

Cindy!

Get away!

Sleepy!

Wait! Wait, Cindy!

Sleepy!

What's the meaning of this?

If Capricorn gets away this time, you'll never live this down!

I'll take full responsibility for everything that happens.

But I trust them to handle this!

Do what you want!

I won't be held responsible!

Cindy! Where are you?

I'm up here!

Well, this is how it ends.

Cindy! Let's go to meet Kevin together.

Will you marry me?

Big brother?

This is the perfect place for the ceremony.

You'd marry me?

We'll spend our honeymoon in heaven.

Well, will you come with me?

All right, Sleepy. As long as you're with me.

You'd really do this for me?

You bet! It's our honeymoon!

I'd be bored if I went alone.

I guess so.

Sleepy!

Daizaburo, Perine.

You're just in time.

Would you two act as priest and witness?

Huh?

What do you mean, Sleepy?

We're getting married.

I'm marrying Cindy.

We don't care about the details.

We just want the ceremony.

What? I don't understand.

Why would you marry HER now?

This is good.

We'll need a wedding dress.

We'll need this. And this.

Please. I love this girl.

And I want to marry her. Please understand.

That will finally end it.

Sleepy John Estes,

do you take this woman to be your wife, to love forever?

Yeah, I do.

Cindy Murphy, do you take this man to be your husband, to love forever?

I do.

By the power invested in me,

I now pronounce you man and wife.

Thank you, Daizaburo, Perine...

Let's go.

Where are you going, Sleepy?

On my honeymoon.

All by ourselves.

Sleepy, you don't mean...

Sleepy! Wait a second!

What do you mean by that?

Stay back!

This is a private ceremony!

Nobody's going to interfere with it!

This is for the best.

This is how it will all end.

Sleepy!

I told you to stay back!

Sleepy!

We'll pull the trigger together.

Then we'll be on our way.

Cindy!

Cindy! Why didn't you shoot? Why?

This is how it should be.

You're too kind.

You're even nicer than my brother.

But kindness is no replacement for love.

And my brother would never forgive me if I brought you along.

Cindy!

Thank you, Sleepy!

I really do love you.

Cindy!

It's all over!

Is that Capricorn?

Get away! I won't let anyone touch her!

Don't touch her.

New York turns even the least of dreams and loves into despair.
