All language subtitles for City Hunter ep23

Did you know? They say the person
who catches the bouquet
thrown by the bride

will be the next to get married.

That's why catching the bouquet is
the dream of all young women.

But in your case, since you'd
be the bridegroom...

You were saying?

Great! It's coming this way!

My word! It's going to be my turn
to be the bride next time.

I'm so happy!

You really humiliated yourself.

It's against the rules for a guy to
catch the bouquet. I can't believe it.

But maybe if a guy gets it, a bride
comes to him or something.

What in the world?

A bride really fell into my hands.

You've got to get out of here fast! Hurry!

But the traffic light is...

What's going on here?

I'm sorry! I'm being chased by
some bad characters.

She's beautiful.

Yikes! We're exposed!

Ryo, do something!

Can you?

No problem.

But only if you promise to
marry me in exchange.

This is no time to be making jokes.

Okay, okay! I'll marry you,
or whatever you want.

Just do something!

Okay!

What was that guy doing with a gun?

Okay, that takes care of that.
Shall I take the wheel now?

Who are you?

You must be lucky falling into
this car like that.

Why do you say that?

Because this car happens to belong to
me, the guy known as the City Hunter.

You're that mokkori
sexual maniac guy?

She says she's Kazue Natori,
an immunologist.

A scientist? That beautiful lady?

She said she used to be a researcher
at Tokyo University. That's all I know.

We will find out more in the morning.
Got it? I want you to sleep outside.

I can read you like a book.

What do you mean outside?
You mean...

I feel so sorry for her.
She must really be exhausted.

I don't imagine she'll wake up
until tomorrow morning.

I'm going to hold you to your promise.

We're getting married tonight, right?

That's right!
This is our first night together.

What's this?
A test tube stuck in her cleavage?

Looks like there's something moving
inside, but I can't tell in the dark.

Ryo, how could you?!

What's up, Kaori?

Ryo, how did your nose get like that?

I was stung by a bee. Is it my fault?

A bee?

I hope you don't mean by a bee
from the test tube!

Yes, only one got out.
It stung me, and there it is, dead.

Oh, no! You could die!

It's just a bee. Take it easy.

It's not JUST a bee.

It's a killer bee that was developed
as a type of biological weapon.

Once you're stung total paralysis
follows, and then your heart...

No, no, no! Please save me!

I have great ambitions and
goals left to fulfill!

That's right! Don't die, Ryo! There's so
much left for you to accomplish!

Exactly! A noble ambition to make love
to all the women of the world!

Is that all you can come up with?!

I do have an anti-venom with me.

I'm saved.

However, this anti-venom
is not yet perfected.

There are side effects.

Side effects? You mean an
upset stomach or something?

No, it's...

What's going on?
All of a sudden I feel...

Kaori, I need you to get these
as soon as possible.

Somehow I've got to finish developing
the anti-venom.

Kazue, are you up?

Good morning, Kazue!

My word, what an attractive, tiny waist
you have! I'm so jealous!

I've just got to diet more.

I'm so embarrassed! Don't look!

Let's see, one research-type,
chemical experiment set,

one dozen test tubes, and
one used personal computer.

That's everything.

Oh, this is heavy.
Ryo, how about a little help?!

I'm sorry. I'm just no good when it
comes to manual labor.

Yuck! Side effects with a vengeance!

I... I mean... I don't like it
anymore than you do.

But my body is making me do it.
Terrible side effects!

I can't stand it!

This bee is the product of manipulation
by Yotagawa Industries Biochemical

in an effort to develop a species
with frighteningly toxic venom.

But what are you doing with it?

I stole it from the mansion
of Eiji Yotagawa,

the chairman of Yotagawa Industries.

Wearing a wedding dress?

Yes, there was no other way.

I got close to Yotagawa's son
so I could get to the bees.

I learned that the research lab
for the bees was located in
Yotagawa's mansion.

However, Yotagawa's girl-crazy son
was smitten by me immediately,

and to my surprise asked me
to marry him.

When I learned that the ceremony
was to be held in the chapel
at the mansion,

I accepted.

I accepted,

because it was the best way to gain
entrance without arousing suspicion.

But why go to such lengths
to get the bees?

Because the person responsible for
developing the bees was my fiancé.

My fiancé, a biochemist, aided in
the development of the bees

unaware of their true function
as weapons of murder.

Once he realized the truth,
he made plans to take a
copy of the R&D records

to a newspaper reporter in an
attempt to halt the program,
but he never made it.

He had sent me the partially
completed anti-venom
along with some data.

I felt compelled to complete the work
on the anti-venom he had begun.

But as it turns out, you were
discovered stealing the bees.

You're dealing with a huge corporation
you know? If you go to the police...

I know. But without hard evidence,
I'm sure it will just be covered up.

And for the sake of his reputation,

these bees must be eliminated before
they become public knowledge.

Kazue Natori is in that one, right?

Right, no mistake.

Big corporations and their information
networks sure are great.

You didn't waste any time did you?

You...

Old Ryo is here to make certain
you don't get any further.

Go ahead and take him out!

What was that sound?

You gotta be kiddin'!

If you did make off with her,

I would have no choice but to
become Lady Hunter.

Tell your boss for me
when you get back.

Tell him I promise to thank him later
for what he did to my body!

Somehow, I get the feeling that the
feminine Ryo is the more extreme.

Way to go, Ryo!

Seeing you in action with such a
serious expression is a first for me.

This time at least I am very serious.

With my body like this, I just
don't feel like living in my
usual shameless manner.

I like it. Keep it up!

You'll be a big hit as
Mr. Serious-no-Mokkori-Sweeper.

The anti-venom is now perfected.

You can now have your revenge.

But...

I'll never see you again.

You made this anti-venom for my sake.

Now, it's my turn.
I'm going to protect you,

and what's more, I'm going to
wipe out the whole program.

But I don't want to cause you
any more trouble.

It's okay. I alone must be the one
to protect my bride. Right?

Saeba...

Just listen to him.

Be careful. The more serious he
sounds, the dirtier his thoughts are.

Do you mind?

It's hard for me to talk to you
freely with Kaori around.

She's got this phobia connected
to guys. Her impression of me
is all distorted.

What's he mean phobia?!

I'm just waiting for him to make
a mokkori move!

You're thinking about your
fiancé, aren't you?

But I wish you wouldn't wear
a wedding dress for
someone who's dead.

What I'm saying may sound cruel to
you now, but it's how I really feel.

Saeba...

I want to be your anti-venom.

An anti-venom that allows you to
forget the sadness of your past.

When this is all over, I'd like you
to be able to love someone again.

It's after his little act that he always
makes his move though.

You stayed up all night, didn't you?
You should rest. Thanks.

Saeba...

What?

No way! Ryo didn't try anything!

What's going on?

Papa, don't go killing Kazue
or anything now.

Of course not, such a beautiful woman.
It would be a waste.

What I mean is,

if we can recover the bees she stole,
I have no intention of killing her.

Then you can do what you
want with her.

Kazue, just wait and see what you
get later for doing what you did!

What a pervert you are.
As your father, I am ashamed.

Hey, Dad, what are you thinking?

The same thing as you.

Dad, you're the perverted one.

I'm kidding! Just kidding!

What a pervert you are.
As your son, I am ashamed.

The perverted father and son...

Even without hearing
what you are saying,

believe me I know exactly
what you are thinking.

People should avoid being like that.

What? She's working on an
anti-venom, you say?

Yes, it appears her motive in getting
close to Naoya was to
obtain some bees.

This is not a problem.

If we sell the bees and the
anti-venom as a set, we can
make even more money.

We catch her, and get her to tell us
how to make the anti-venom.

But how best to proceed...

Papa!

Gather more men!

I don't care how strong he is,
he's just one guy.

I want him taken care of tonight
in one fell swoop.

Ryo, how long do you plan on
keeping Kazue here?

It's dangerous.
They already know about this place.

You're right.
This time it will be different.

This time the boss will come
in person leading a large
number of his henchmen.

Then we can't just sit around here
doing nothing.

We've got to get out of here now.

If we leave now, it's just like
we're asking to be caught.

Do it!

To the second floor!
They have to be in here somewhere!

He's a clever one!

Where...

Passion

Passion

Boss, we can't find them anywhere.

What? That's impossible.
The place is totally surrounded.

Not even a mouse could sneak by us!

All right, search from top to bottom
with a fine-toothed comb if you have to!

Right!

Okay, marathon-time is over.

We should be okay here.

Bringing a bazooka
makes sense to me,

but what good is running around
down here doing us?

Okay, if we climb up there, where
do you think we'll come out?

We'll come out right in front of
Yotagawa's mansion, that's where.

We go in now, and destroy
all of the bees.

That's why I tricked them into
coming to my place.

That's crazy! Security around
the mansion is very tight.

Boss, here's where they went.

They escaped us, did they?

Stop! You'll get no further!

This is the best way to make a
courtesy call to a mansion like this.

What? They've penetrated
the compound? Damn him!
He planned this!

And what are those men in security
doing about it?

They all ran away.

Those cowards! Hurry!
Their objective is the bees!

Wow, just look at them.

Okay, then. Now all we have to do
is destroy them.

How?

That does it.

Now, a little tweak on the dial for the
plastic explosives, and a lake of fire.

Here you go.

You should be the one to do this.

We're too late.

Kazue!

How dare you make a fool of me?!

Wait!

She's gone.

Search the adjoining room!

What's going on?

Boss, they're locked! They won't open!

Papa, these too! We're locked in!

What's that sound?

Ow! Ow! Ow!

What a bunch of dummies!
They're just honey-bees.

But they'll get a good taste of the fear
that comes from killer bees.

And with that blaze, Kazue,
you can also say good-bye
to your sad memories.

Ryo's really in top form today.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Ryo, what's wrong?

I don't know.
My body is overflowing with energy.

This is it! That mokkori love power
that had deserted me for a time!

Kazue!

Yes?

This means you and I will finally get to
spend that night together!

Okay, quick, quick, let's go home!
Let's go home!

Ryo!

According to my calculations,

it required approximately twelve hours
for the side effects to disappear.

In other words, a kind of equilibrium
has been reached over
the last half day.

The revenge of the mokkori man,
so to speak.

I had intended to go to America
after this was over.

You were going to go there together
after you were married, weren't you?

That's right. But now I don't really
want to leave Japan.

That's how I feel.

It's like you said.

I'm staying because I'd rather wear
my wedding dress for
someone alive, Saeba.

But I need some more time.

I won't say goodbye.

The next time we meet, I'll be a
brand-new Kazue. I'm sure of it.

I wonder if that meant she
fell in love with Ryo?

Ryo, congratulations on
your hospitalization.

What the... Who is it that broke
my leg to begin with?

But this job's right up your alley.
Yoshimi's taking care of you, isn't she?

Round-the-clock supervision! Morning,
noon, and night we're together.

But Yoshimi's always goofing up, and
being with her can be a challenge.

For all that, you look happy to me.

Yoshimi's so pretty, you know?

See you then!
