Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040 (1998–…): Season 1, Episode 24 - Light My Fire - full transcript

What's going on?!

The tower! This tower
is becoming Galatea!

We can't stay here any longer!

The tower? Becoming Galatea?

Damn! Is there any way
we can win?!

How is Sylia?

She's been like that
for a while now.

Mackey...

I'm sure he'll regain his memories.

Mackey was so human.

I'm sure he keeps the memory
of you somewhere, Nene.



Thanks, Linna.

Is this the end for us?

I won't let it end!

Bring the toolbox over there.

Nigel...

I don't care whether
you ride or not.

This is the only thing
I can do now.

Please stay with Sylia.

Sylia needs you now.

I see!

How about this then?

Come on, come on, come on!

I did it! What a genius I am!

Galatea...



What is this?

This? The view from
a NSA spy satellite.

What an accomplishment!

Look, Galatea is heading toward
the core of the Umbrella.

Umbrella?

It's the Showhamm Project.

However, the person who created
it isn't with us any longer.

Galatea intends to inherit it
for a different purpose.

A different purpose?

The Showhamm Project was a
plan to accumulate solar power

in the underground Dragon Line,

by collecting pure sunlight
outside of the atmosphere

and sending it to the
Genom Tower as beams.

It was all over the news.

I didn't have any interest
in stuff like that.

The Dragon Lines in Tokyo
have become boomers.

Right. We already cut
them up inside Tokyo.

However, if the stronger
phenomenon flows into it...

Does she intend to irradiate the
phenomenon from space?!

It's the most effective
way to do it, isn't it?

Effective for what?

To turn all machines on
Earth into boomers.

Wait a second.

What?!

You said this is the picture from
an NSA satellite, didn't you?!

Yes.

A shuttle missile.

I can't believe they'd use
a nuclear weapon.

Nuclear?!

The missiles were turned
into boomers.

Every country is starting to panic.

They're all afraid of their countries
becoming just like Tokyo.

Of course they are.

But if they find out that Galatea is
going to take over Showhamm,

there would be one
really bad thing.

What's that?

Destroy the beam's reception unit.

A nuclear attack on Tokyo.

I'm going after Galatea!
I'll catch and smash her!

I've been thinking about getting
away from the city for a while.

We'd been having fun,
feeling good,

we killed mad boomers and
earned some money.

We didn't want to feel sad.

Sometimes circumstances
force you to do things.

The woman you fall in love
with loves somebody else,

but you would hate yourself
if you gave up on her.

Therefore, if I can, I want to
be with you until the end.

I wish Sylia designed
hard suits for men.

I'm not a transvestite, but I would
not mind dressing up like you.

Shut up.

Those two fit well, don't they?

I don't know. I'm sure a man like
Leon-pea is the henpecked type.

I guess you're right!

Two more hours...

How long have you been there?!

What? We were the first ones here.

You didn't see us at all, did you?

I understand.

Shut up! Well, did you find
a way to chase Galatea?

Are we going to use the rocket
located at Tanegashima Island?

There's no way we'd be able
to launch it by ourselves.

Instead, I found a better route

which is surer and we'll be able to
arrive there earlier than Galatea.

Sylia, we're going after Galatea.

You know, I appreciate you, Sylia,

so I'll do whatever I can for you.

Please take care of Mackey!

We promise we'll come back.

I'm sure Mackey will
remember you, Sylia.

Of course, he'll remember me too.

It's so quiet, isn't it?

Do you want to know the reason?

The reason why I've always
hated the AD Police.

A long time ago, a mad boomer
came to the place where I lived,

a site which used to be a factory.

Then we showed up, didn't we?

Did we miss the target then?

You got it. An armored car even
plowed into the place,

and fired a ton of bullets that
piled up like a mountain.

Well...

Oh, you were injured at
that time, weren't you?

I ran away, but

one of the disks that I
treasured was burned.

Disk?

My favorite song.

I'd been hoping that some day,

I'd be able to sing it in front of a
huge crowd at Wembley Stadium.

For a reason like that...

The skyhook comes alongside
the platform just off of Boso
peninsula, right?

But the skyhook is just for cargo.

Yes, so we'll get in with the cargo
before the pallet starts moving.

The skyhook will grab the
cargo which we're in and...

Fly us into space!

Sing.

The song you wanted to sing.
I'm the audience.

Sadness, pain and struggle

They're overflowing and I can't
hold them in my arms

Rather than accepting a fate
like this and giving up

I believe in my power to
make them change, so

I will keep walking

Hey, the slider pallet
is already moving!

It can't be!

We have more than an hour
until the skyhook arrives.

Oh, my God!

Priss, what'll we do?!

Oh, no...

The supplier pallet!

The receiver pallet too!

This place has been affected
by the phenomenon.

Priss, what'll we do?

Even if there's no pallet, the
skyhook will come on time.

Even if it comes, it
won't stop for you.

When the skyhook passes the
platform, its speed is 780km/hour!

That's it. We don't have
any other way, do we?

Hurry up and get out of here!

What are you doing? Hurry up!

I...

I don't care if the entire Earth
becomes a boomer,

just promise me you'll make
it back alive. All of you!

I wonder why Leon-pyon couldn't
say something nicer than that?

I think that was him at his best.

Hold on tight!

Go!

Roger!

Okay.

Rock n' roll!

You two are pretty heavy.

Priss, you're talking about
our hard suits, aren't you?!

Yeah...

It's huge!

It's coming, it's coming!

Faster, faster!

Motoslave, you're a boomer
too, aren't you?

Show us what you've got!

We did it! We're going into space!

Let's fly into space!

NOW!

Linna, thrust your jets!

Linna! Linna!

Am I alive?

And you, Nene?

I'm alive!

The Knight Sabers are
going into space, right?

We should move to
the other block.

Even though our hard suits can
generate oxygen internally,

it won't last forever.

Can you stand up?

Yes, I'm fine.
Can you stand up?

Yes, I'm fine.

Wait!

Nobody is allowed to ride this
shuttle without special permission.

Excuse me, but I have to report
this to the operation center.

This boomer looks fine, doesn't it?

Well, so far it's still a boomer
well disposed to humans.

But the true character of the
boomer is Galatea, you know.

Hello, Mr. Boomer. We
have tickets, of course.

Oh, I see. My apologies.

Well, please relax and enjoy
the journey into space.

As if I believed THAT!

Mr. Boomer, I don't think there's
anyone in the operation center

to receive your report, is there?

You're absolutely right.

I haven't been able to
contact them for a week,

so I haven't be able to
accomplish my mission.

Then, I will give you
a new mission.

Yes, Ma'am. What is it?

The stars look strange. They
aren't twinkling, are they?

There's no atmosphere,
so of course they don't.

You aren't even impressed by the
fact that we're in space, are you?

I guess not.

Space?

I wanted to become an astronaut
when I was a kid.

But why didn't you? You could
have since you're so smart, right?

I was a little too short.

I was so disappointed when I read
the official NASD A regulations.

But now your dream came true,
so it worked out.

I guess. Just like you, Linna?

What? Me?

In my case, my dream was
to join the Knight Sabers,

but I didn't expect that I'd
come this far into space!

Where's Priss?

Where?

You did a good job.

Even though you look like a bike,
you're a boomer, right? Sorry.

I hated to ride you at the
beginning, just like this hard suit.

But if we communicated with
each other with our hearts,

boomers wouldn't have become
monsters like Galatea,

and they might have been able
to become our friends.

It might be selfish
to think this way.

I'm thinking about boomers
in my favorite way, aren't I?

Thanks...

Four more hours until we
arrive at the Umbrella.

Where's Galatea?

Be patient for a little
while, please.

Yes, Ma'am.

Here you go.

We should be thankful to the
chairman of Genom for one thing,

that he didn't put rocket engines
in the Genom Tower.

We'll be able to arrive before
Galatea, won't we?

If we don't, we have no
idea what will happen.

That's true.

Excuse me, but who is Galatea?
A new manager of boomers?

Well, something like that, I guess.

But she's trying to control
the Earth like a god.

So many stars.

How beautiful! So many
stars filling the sky.

Finally, we arrive at the Umbrella

which is the key to the
Showhamm Project, but...

by that time, the place had
become Galatea's evil castle.

Boomer eggs are propagating as if
they were the focus of a disease.

Then, our shadows of light appear.

What is Galatea thinking
of doing?!

Next Bubblegum Crisis!
