WAR IN THE POCKET

The sky you see above is far away...

...but it holds more dreams than you can carry.

Yes, I want to break out of this man-made world and become free.

And because I believe...

...that you can become the wind...

...if you keep running and reach the sky.

I'll never give up forever.

They came back for me !

\C7What's Between Here and the End of the Rainbow ?

I wonder what's inside...

If that's 38th Street...

They're trailers with big greenish yellow crates.

They went toward Vera Cruz from Blue Plum Blvd.

Four of them, the big kind they use at factories.

Can you find out where they went ?

You're the police. Can't you just check on your computers ?

Hey, are you listening ?

Yeah, I'm listening, I'm listening.

I even remember the license plate: S-63 D-0018.

Hey, listen to me !

Kid, we don't have time to play detective with you, OK ?~~We're busy.

Wait, it's a hit and run, you know.

They hit me here. And look at this.

Car 16 here, we're headed toward 42nd Street in Vera Cruz...

...to question suspects in the hit and run incident.

Roger.

Do you remember the driver's face ?

Yes, sir. I remember it well.

S-63 D-0018. It's the right plate.

Are you sure this is the truck ?

Yes, sir. I'm sure it's this truck.

A little to the left. All right, all right, all right !

Can I help you ?

This is the police. There are a few questions I'd like to ask you.

Very well, I'll open the shutter.

Just a moment, please.

Who's in charge here ?

That would be me. Is there a problem ?

Are those your trucks out front ?

Well ?

Yes, we're renting them.

You don't mind if I ask a few questions ?

Kid, come over here.

Is the person who hit you here now ?

Wait, there must be some kind of mistake...

I didn't ask you ! So how about it, do you remember ?

Let's see...

That man ! That man hit me !

Little shit...

Where were you at about 6 o'clock this morning ?

We were driving over here from the port.

What route did you take ?

We turned off onto 38th from Blue Plum Boulevard.

I see. Just like the kid said.

You've gotta be shittin' me ! That little shit's lying !

You know, there's something suspicious going on here.

It's as if you're all hiding something.

I wonder what's in those containers. I think I'll take a look.

Hey, you in charge ! How do you open these ?

Come over here and open 'em, will you ?

Oh, I'll do it, sir. I need a card to open it.

Hurry up !

The card, the card, uh...

``Big brother'' !

Hey, kid, what's the matter ?

``Big brother'', did you forget about me ?

Al ? Al, it's you. You've gotten so big.

I'm sorry, officer, there was no hit and run.

I haven't seen him since my parents got divorced.

I lied because I wanted you to find him after I saw him driving the truck.

I haven't seen him in four years. The cuts are from when I fell.

The trucks have nothing to do with it. I'm sorry.

So that's it...

Uh, yes. Al, you know you shouldn't lie to police officers.

I'm sorry, ``Brother''.

What the hell's the matter with you?! Bringing the police with you. Are you crazy ?!

I didn't know where you went.

And what were you going to do once you found out ?

I wanted to join you.

Join us ?! We're not playing war, damn it !

I know it's not play !

Captain, what're we going to do with that kid ?

Alfred, right ?

You're the captain, right ? Let me join you. I want to be a Zion soldier.

OK, but there are a few conditions.

Conditions ?

First, you can't tell anybody about us.

I promise ! I won't tell anyone !

Second, I want to ask you some questions about that video you shot.

This is gate 8. This is where that crate was.

It probably went to block 12.

Why do you think that ?

Because most of the stuff from gate 8 gets taken to block 12 by lift C.

Al, you're a really smart kid, you know that ?

What's in those crates ?

Well, it's our mission to find out.

I'll help too, sir.

You've done enough for today.

Thanks for your help. This is for you.

This is our unit's insignia. Be careful not to lose it.

And if anybody asks, tell them you found it.

Understood, Captain, sir !

Bernie'll drive you home.

Never been in a car before ?

Not with a pilot driving it.

Don't try to flatter me.

We'll have Bernie watch him for a while.

We should've just killed him. Or locked him up here.

We don't know when that little shit'll start talking.

Do you want to cause an uproar with a kidnapping ?

Well, at least we found a job that Bernie can handle.

Exactly.

It's the worst when you get hit out in space. It's zero-G.

Drops of your own blood fill the cockpit. It's hell.

I've lost so many friends, I've lost count.

You know, I really don't have time to be babysitting you.

Have you killed anyone, Bernie ?

Wha...?

I don't like to, but unless you get them before they get you, you die.

You have to destroy your target.

That's harsh...

Of course. When I got shot down, all I needed was one more kill to become an ace.

Was the enemy pilot really good ?

I was careless. I'd heard that this was a neutral colony but...

...all of a sudden, there are GM's coming at me. Jeezus...

Oh, turn right here.

Al, I know it's the weekend, but you could tell me before you go out.

Yes, Mom.

I got a letter from school. They want to talk to me about your grades.

It seems your test scores weren't very good. Why didn't you tell me ?

Al, don't put playing before your school work, understand ?

Yes, Mom.

Al !

Yes, Mom.

I'm going to the PTA meeting. Do your homework, OK ?

Yes, Mom.

X minus Y equals...

Papa, Mama, call the police ! It's a burglar, I caught a burglar !

Bernie !

Al, he was trying to sneak into your house !

That's my brother.

Brother ? Brother...

Mama, forget the police.

Oh good, he's still alive.

Oh, I'm so sorry, we're so embarrassed.

Is coffee okay ?

Sure.

So Al has a brother. We had no idea.

We have different mothers. I was born when Dad was young, but...

...no one approved of the marriage and they separated.

Does Michiko know about you ?

It's a secret. That's why he came to see me without telling her.

But to confuse you with a burglar...

Well, could you find it in your heart to forgive her ?

She jumped to the wrong conclusion.

S...sure...

I'm really sorry, I...

Oh, don't worry about it.

She's such a strong-headed girl.

Can you believe she went and joined the Federation ?

You're in the military, Chris ?

My job's to gather data. It's not as if I carry a gun or anything like that.

Bernie's a real soldier !

Uh no...I retired a while back. I'm in the reserves now.

So that's why you came back. Are you going to work here, too ?

Yes, I have a machine related job at a factory.

Thank you very much. I gotta get going.

Why don't you stay a while longer ?

I have to meet someone.

Is your head all right ?

Oh yeah, it's nothing.

Thank you.

Al, we're leaving.

Good night, Chris.

Good night.

Can't judge a book by its cover, can you ?

I don't think she's so bad.

Ouch !

It still hurts ?

Just kidding !

Take off !

See ya later !

Al !

We were on our way to your house !

Let's go have a war in the park !

Maybe later, I'm busy today !

Install the screens.

Which one should we do first ?

The main one.

Roger.

So there was a mobile suit inside those crates.

Bernie, bolt this down, will you ?

Yes, sir.

You're going to fight the Federation with this ?

No, we're going to use this when we escape the colony.

What ?! You're gonna run away without fighting ?

If the Federation attacks first, though, it's a different story.

Then Bernie should be the pilot. He just needs one more kill to be an ace.

Unfortunately, we've already decided that Misha's going to pilot it.

What's wrong with Bernie ?

Misha has more experience.

Sorry, Bernie, I feel bad keeping you from becoming an ace.

You only have four kills ? I'm surprised.

I'd have thought you'd have at least 20 kills by now.

Chris, take a break.

We'll try again this afternoon with a new program.

Roger.

How's the reaction time ?

Up 30%, sir.

We still have a long way to 80%.

So how does it feel to pilot the Alex ?

What do you think about the 360 degree screen and the magnetic coating ?

It's so fast, it's almost scary. Is this thing going to be any use in combat ?

As long as the pilot's good enough.

Are you saying that I can't handle the Alex ?

Don't get angry. This is a Newtype mobile suit.

You're good but you're in a little over your head.

Only certain types of freaks can pilot this thing properly.

I hear they're going to assign it to a pilot on White Base.

Al, let's go. You're not going to find the secret Federation base.

But this is an important mission the Captain gave us.

I guess...

Bernie, why is the Federation hiding its base ?

Because Side 6 and the Federation haven't reached a formal agreement yet.

In other words, there're still some restrictions on what the Federation can do.

There aren't as many Federation license plates as I thought there'd be.

If we find the Federation base, do you think the Captain'll change his mind ?

Change his mind about what ?

About the pilot. Maybe he'll let you pilot the mobile suit instead of Misha.

I'm not worried about that. I'll still have lots of chances to become an ace.

OK, Al, let's go. Let's go eat.

Just a sec...

What is it ? Al ? Hey.

I found it. I found it, Bernie !

You know, just because you saw the same guy, it doesn't mean that's the Federation base.

Let's just get closer and check it out.

How ?

Underground.

Underground ?

We'll use the colony maintenance tunnels.

All right !

This is 2-27 so...it's about 200 meters from here.

This might be pretty easy.

Bernie, hurry !

What's the rush ?

It's around here, isn't it ?

A little further.

It's closed.

Can you open it ?

That's strange, there's no switch.

Let's try the hallway over to the west.

OK.

Oh, I get it.

What ?

These brand new shutters are placed only in this block.

So, there must be a good reason they don't want people to come in.

They brought the containers here !

Bingo !

Don't look so down.

But there's a Federation base right in front of us and...

Just finding it's a big deal. We were lucky. I bet the Captain'll be really happy.

Al, what're you doing ?

Let's go back, Al. It's too dangerous.

No.

You could die, you know ?

I'll be okay.

You still think you're okay ?

Never been better. I think you're the one who's scared.

You're a coward without a mobile suit.

That protrusion over there is our target. Once I get over, follow the wire. Got it ?

Yep.

It's okay, no one's here.

Take off your suit and give it to me.

OK.

Sounds like machinery.

Al, stop !

Al, stop ! You'll get caught !

This job doesn't suit me very well. We should at least get overtime pay.

Don't complain.

Federation soldiers.

That night when I lied...

...I was scared and couldn't sleep.

No matter what kind of fights we had...

...I always forgot it the very next day.

The blue of the sky...

...always made me happy...

...back when I used to believe in everything.

Not realizing that someday...

...I would lose faith in others...

...and know how lonely life could be.
