Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040 (1998–…): Season 1, Episode 18 - We Built This City - full transcript

Priss and Leon blast their way through the hoard of machines on the motoslave to Nene and the AD chiefs - but when a biomechanical mass blocks their only escape, the chiefs make a last ditch effort to freeze the boomers cold in their tracks.

What?!

Strike?!

What the hell are you
talking about?!

It's an emergency!

The union would complain?

Damn them!

Let them do whatever they want!

We have enough people here.

Right, everyone?

Right!

Wait for us, you damned boomers.



We're going to attack them from
the top and the bottom.

We've started our raid
into the building.

It'll probably take about
ten minutes to reach

the Totem Pole's
underground level.

Roger. We're going to start too.

Fire!

I'm going in first to see
how things are.

When I give you the
signal, rush in.

Yes, Sir!

Priss!

Wait! Priss, I'm going with you!

Above?

No, below.

This building is full of electronics
equipment above this point.



So normally people
can't get in there.

This floor is actually the top
floor of the Totem Pole.

You need a guide, don't you?

Get on.

No!

Nene! Nene Romanova!

Are you okay?

That's a K-suit.

Chief! Chief!

I got it from the maintenance
building. Only one suit is movable.

Don't scare me like that!

Duck!

Damn, have they already
gotten up here?!

Roland, we're going to
withdraw from here!

I have no other choice!

The freight elevator ends here.

Which way?

For now...

Damn!

Chief...

We're caught in between!

It's all over!

Priss!

Leon, why are you here?!

Priss!

We'll talk about it later!

I've opened the shutter above us.
We'll evacuate through there.

Nene!

Priss, go ahead with Nene!

Okay! Nene, get on!

Even considering your age, it
looks pretty good on you, Nick.

Bullshit!

Hurry up and go!

Damn you!

What the hell?!

Nick, on your back!

What?!

Remove it by yourself. I'm too
close to use my gun.

Oh, damn!

Withdraw the K-suit, Roland!

What's going on now?!

You tell me to withdraw, but
the suit doesn't obey me!

Damn!

Now, Roland!

Right!

Let's withdraw from here, Nick!
We're almost out of ammo!

Yeah! Now, I can finally
move easily again.

Withdraw now, everyone!

Thank you, Yano.

Sure!

Hold on to me tight, Nene!

I'm going through them!

Ouch!

What the heck is this?!

Damn...

Nene...

Not yet!
Nene...

Not yet!

Hurry up!

Thank you.

Leon-chan, thanks!
Thank you.

Leon-chan, thanks!

Give it up!

Damn!

Close it!

Safe!

Right?

What?!

Damn!

Haruma!

Sure.
Haruma!

Sure.

It's not working!

What'll we do?! The ammo's
almost gone!

What? Nobody's there?!

I've just repaired the
power source.

I guess the power is back.

The group that took the
lower levels did it.

I don't think it's possible to go
back the way we came.

I don't think so either.

The only way for us is
to climb up, isn't it?

This area is so cold!

Because of the cooling design,

liquid nitrogen is continually
circulating in that tube.

Liquid nitrogen? I see.

With this extremely high density
accumulation of electronics,

the cooling system must
also be extreme.

Actually, this monstrous collection
of electronics equipment

is another pillar which supports
the AD Police.

We couldn't do our work without it.

I wonder if those boomers are...

It's coming, it's coming! Where,
oh, where are the boomers?!

Above?!

Is this data real time?

It's accurate!

Why are they going up?

Daley, can you hear me?

Leon, where are you now?

In the Electronics Center Core.
We're being chased from below.

What?!

Almost all of them are
heading toward you!

Shake them off!

Don't be ridiculous!

A dead end?!

I guess we can't do anything,
but climb up.

We're going up that way.

Do something!

Do something?! First of all,
I'm alone here!

I don't think so.

Since he said they're going up,

why don't we as well?

You're...

Let's go pick them up, shall we?

Sure...

Something's wrong, isn't it?

So it seems.

Exactly as I thought! Those
boomers aren't chasing us.

Their target is the
electronics core!

Take it in closer!

I know!

What a bad pilot! Try to do better!

This is not a taxi!

Sorry, Roland!

If they're planning to fuse with the
electronics core as Nene said...

This place will be filled
with them.

Haruma, how many bullets
do we have left?!

What shall we do, Roland?

I have a good idea.

Yano, how low can this cooling
system reduce the temperature?

Well, this cooling system...

It depends on how much electricity
you let it consume.

It's filled with liquid nitrogen, so
you can get the temperature...

No way!

Well, that's what I'm thinking.

The two of us will do this!

Me?

I have something to ask
the rest of you to do!

Oh, we don't have much time left.
We have to hurry!

Look, Sylia!

Oh, my god!

You're in trouble, Leon! The whole
Totem Pole is being fused!

Where are you now?

Very close to the roof!
Where are you now?

Right above you. Are you
with all the others?

Nick and Yano are still down there.

What?!

It's Nene and the others!

Please hurry and rescue them!

Anyway, we're going to
pick you up now!

Roger!

We did it!

I think it's a little too
early to cheer.

Damn!

Damn!

Hurry it up, Yano! This place won't
keep us safe any longer!

I can't do this, Roland.

What's wrong, Yano?

I just remembered something.

The capacity of this cooling tower
is more than 300 tons per day!

So what?

In order to operate this,

you need a first class air
conditioning engineer license!

Yano, that rule is not applicable
for these bastards!

Please hurry up! We can't
hold them any longer!

You're going to see, boomers!

Haven't you finished yet, Nick?!
I don't have any bullets left!

Now, Leon!

Nene! Priss!

Linna! Mackey!

It couldn't be helped. I only have
a third class license.

You did a good job.

The AD Police is really
finished now.

Well, take care of what
I've just said.

I understand. At the next
stockholders' meeting, I will do so.

Mason, I'm going to let you learn
that you are just one of my pawns.

You are...

What's the matter?

What is it? Why don't you answer?!

Boomers can't ignore my orders!

Lmpossible, Mason can't...

Why don't we play?

Sunday is my favorite
day of the week.

Everyone can forget about school
or work, and do what they want.

We can enjoy sweet crepes
from a corner shop,

hanging out in a pedestrian mall

and watching street performers.

But there will be no more
Sundays like that.

Next Bubblegum Crisis!
