Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040 (1998–…): Season 1, Episode 14 - Shock Treatment - full transcript

Priss locates the buried lab, but Sylia's still holding back details. The Knight Sabers rush underground to save their leader when her crazed solo mission is sabotaged, but a bizarre phenomenon - unlocked by Sylia herself - renders their suits useless.

What's wrong? You look
depressed, Nene.

What? Nothing's wrong.

You look like you're unusually
lost in your own thoughts.

Oh, no. You make it sound like
I'm an airhead all the time.

Why don't you go to
lunch with us?

Say, Leon, how's Priss
doing lately?

Is there any progress in
your relationship?

Not at all. She acts like she's
dating someone else these days.

She doesn't care about him, right?

Hey, you don't need
to say that! I ...

I see. Priss is working
hard, I guess.



It's nothing! Nothing at all!

Working hard on a man?

Sylia...

Priss, it's ready.

Here I go.

This isn't the one, I guess.

Damn, not here either?

Priss, sorry, but please
go to the next site.

Okay.

Sylia, I'm here.

Okay, please check the area.

There seems to be no response.

I'm going to move to
the next site, Sylia.

Roger.



Six points left...

Where are you?

Sylia? Sylia!

Sorry, Linna, are you
already there?

I just came to a dead end. Can
I check the site from here?

It's more than 300 meters away.
The sonar won't reach the area.

Is there any other route?

Wait a second. I'm going
to check around there.

I guess you don't need to.

Priss?

Found it!

Priss, thank you. Please
withdraw and return.

I'll be back after checking
around here.

Okay.

It looks like this place used
to be a highway.

The corner of a building has
been stuck in the road.

Sylia, this is a hallway
of the building.

Priss!

I'm going in.

No! Priss, come back!

Priss!

Wow, pretty good feeling, isn't it?

Priss, this place is not
a hot spring.

Who cares.

Shall we go now?

Anyway, I'm impressed that
you listened to Sylia.

I would have expected you to
go on by yourself.

If the battery hadn't been
out, I would have.

I thought you only cared about
whether you get paid or not.

I was in front of the target
after a five day search!

I wonder how dangerous the
thing buried in there is?

You care about it too.

Sylia was pretty desperate,
wasn't she?

To stop you, Priss.

What's the matter?
I'm already here!

Stop, Priss!

I just want to go in and check.

I said come back!

Priss!

My battery is out.
I'll be right back.

I'm really relieved. Finally,
I'll be able to have it out.

What are you talking about, Sylia?

You aren't going to do something
about it yourself, are you?

Sorry, but from now on this
is my own business.

You're kidding me.

After leading us by the nose,
what are you saying now?

Priss is right, Sylia.
You made Nene mad and...

I understand. I will ask
you to help me.

I'll let you know when it's ready.

Thank you very much. Please
come and visit us again.

It's not too bad an experience to
spend time at the beauty salon.

See? I didn't think you'd been
to a place like this.

You felt like you were at some hot
spring resort in a jacuzzi, right?

Is something wrong with that?

That's not like you, is it?

I wonder how Nene is doing?

Finally, I'm entering
the home stretch.

The question is, where can
I get the power from?

Is there an active line left?

Here? This place used the old
line before the earthquake.

If I can connect the power from
this factory, I can do it!

Sylia? Sylia?

Sylia...

Mr. Mackey, Lady Sylia
is not here.

Is she out? Sylia, that is?

She didn't tell me anything.

Excuse me, Mr. Meisio.

What's the matter?

Sylia's been out every night. I
wonder what she's been doing?

Well, I don't know what
she's doing.

Hiding from me.

Mr. Mackey?

She's cared about you
this entire time.

If you understand that,

I think that you'd be doing her
a big favor by saying nothing

and accepting her reasoning.

That's not it.

What is it?

I don't know why, but my
body feels strange.

As if someone were calling me.

This is for you from Dr. Shan.

Thank you very much.

Please be careful when
handling this.

Please give him my
sincere appreciation.

It's me.

They're on the move. I'll send
you a picture right now.

Stand by.

Yes, Sir.

In broad daylight?

Cancel my schedule
for this afternoon.

As you wish.

Do you also want to
have the letter ''e''?

You guys, stay at the underground
highway and wait for Mr. Mason.

This is Murakami.

Standing by, okay.

Go ahead.

Detonate!
Go ahead.

Detonate!

Oh, I'm so hungry.

Hey, Megu. Megu!

What is it? Lunch?

What shall we eat?

Aren't you a little bit early?
We have another thirty minutes!

But I'm hungry.

See, you have a call.

Hello, this is the AD Police.

An explosion at the
underground highway?

Location is in the Outside Ward,
at the edge of the South Area.

1 50 meters before the

This is Unit 7, roger.

This is Unit 1 8, roger.

What? There are some saboteurs
and armored boomers?

The Wiz Lab is in the current
South Area, within five kilometers.

This is Miles. Regarding this
incident, we will wait and see.

Standby and await further orders.

Chief?!
Standby and await further orders.

Dispatched vehicles should return
to the station immediately. Over.

What the hell is going on?!

What's going on, Chief?!

This was decided by
top management.

Hello, this is Yamazaki.

Sylia seems to have gone
to the lab by herself!

Nene?!

Heavily armed agents from
Genom are chasing her.

What do you mean?

Go to the front door. Priss is on
her way to pick you up.

Roger. I'll be right there!

Linna!

You shouldn't change clothes
in such an urgent situation.

I can't ride a bike with
my skirt on, can I?

Don't fall.

What smoke!

Which security camera
is at the highway?

Not here. Not this one.

Oh, here it is!

Sylia...

Sylia!

Sylia!
Sylia!

Sylia!

Nene!

I can't find her anywhere!
Nene!

I can't find her anywhere!

No mobile pit, no hard suits,
they're all gone!

Sylia intended to go by herself
from the very beginning!

That's why she said okay
to us that time.

Anyway, let's hurry up.
Genom is chasing her!

This way, Sir.

You put on a showy act.

Yes, Sir.
You put on a showy act.

Yes, Sir.

Please wait for me,

my dear princess.

I've returned, finally.

Now I have an energy supply.

The only thing I need is time.

Guinea pig.

Geez, I don't think I can
go down there.

Won't open.

Don't think badly of me.

It's about time to say goodbye

for eternity.

That's it.

Sylia Stingray.

Mason!

Thank you for guiding us.

I won't let you have it.

A microwave cannon?

You intend to destroy the contents
without unsealing it, don't you?

However, seven years ago,

she wasn't affected at all by
destructive power like that.

Sure, that was seven years ago.

What the hell?!

It's powered by the electricity
generated by the Skyhook?!

Sylia...

Now the contents have
been burned black.

It's like a huge microwave,
isn't it?

How dare you?

Mackey!

Mackey Stingray...

You're attracted to each
other just as I thought.

Mackey, why are you here?

I guess she's awake now.

What the hell?!

Sylia!

Sylia!

Mackey...

Mackey!

Mackey!

Look at the boomers!

Come back!

What the hell is this?!

Nene!

Priss, what's going on?

My hard suit's not responding
well to commands.

Mackey!

Get out of there! Hurry up!
Mackey!

Mackey!

Come with me.

Mackey!

Damn!

Sotai!

In front of a screaming Sylia,

the girl who is the origin of the
boomers walks away with Mason.

We abandoned our hard
suits and evacuated,

but now Sylia spends all
her time daydreaming.

As if cogwheels were broken,
something among us is changing.

And finally, Nigel told us
about Sylia's past.

Next Bubblegum Crisis!
