Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040 (1998–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Rough and Ready - full transcript

The Knight Sabers pull the plug on a rogue boomer with an appetite for more machinery, but the AD Police has orders to put the heat on the vigilantes!

Hurry! Hurry up and call
the AD Police!

I can't stop the boomer!

Priss, you're late!

A boomer in a factory in the 11 th
district is on a rampage.

A dispatch request has already
been sent to the AD Police.

This might be troublesome,

because the mad boomer is fusing
with nearby machines.

Hurry!

The scene inside is very bad.
Send in a probe robot.

Roger!

Wow, this place has already
become a big show.



I guess this has nothing
to do with us.

Why don't we sit back and watch?

Geez, you're so faithful
to your job.

It looks like the AD Police
are declaring all out war.

Priss!

Is this boomer strong?

If it starts to fuse with the
machines around it, it'll be tough.

Linna, hurry up!

Knight Sabers, action!

Is it okay to let the
AD Police start first?

The goal is to capture
the Knight Sabers.

Many members of the AD Police
harbor hostility towards them.

So I'm going to use them.

It's possible to make a boomer go
berserk on purpose, isn't it?



No, it's impossible.

The process whereby a boomer
descends into madness

has not been analyzed yet,
even at our laboratory.

I see! But the one now acting
violent over there is...

We saved the core from a boomer
that previously went berserk.

We transplanted it into that one.

I see.

I wonder if our iron ladies
will show or not?

When you capture the Knight
Sabers, what are you going to do?

I'd like to have a nice dinner
together and hear their story.

There it is!

That monster!

Damn! It fused with
the probe robot.

Yamaguchi team, storm the place!
Assume there are no survivors!

Roger! Please put the
K-suits on alert!

Go!

Uh-oh, they're storming the place.

The boomer's feeding off the
factory's power supply.

Nene!

I understand!

But the first thing is to smash the
AD Police's spy camera.

Later!

Now, we'll go in from
behind! Right?

Please don't get in my way.

I don't think I'll be an
amateur for long!

Here come the Knight Sabers!

Finally!

Damn! What's wrong?

You can't peek at us!

The view has been switched
to a boomer's camera.

I just want to ask them a question.

Why do they hate boomers?
Why can't they love boomers?

Some humans become insane.

Why is it only boomers
incite such fury?

Only when these ladies
love boomers

can boomers live together with
humans as a sub-human race.

Don't you think so?

I wonder if boomers can coexist
with human beings?

I see! You don't like boomers,
do you, Mason?

I'll leave the rest of this incident
to the AD Police.

If you'll excuse me?

I want you to love boomers, ladies.

Who? Who do you think brought
this Megalocity back to life?!

Respect the boomers!

Rosencroitz asked me

if I hate boomers.

You do hate boomers, don't you,
Mr. Vice President?

Of course I hate them.

But don't misunderstand.
I didn't mean you.

The reason I kiss that zombie's ass
is because I like boomers.

But I don't mean ordinary
boomers.

I'm seeking

my own boomer.

What am I doing?

The earthquake damage in the
Tokyo area is tremendous,

and the city center seems to be
almost completely destroyed.

Miss Sylia, I've just had a call from
Bioscape headquarters.

Dr. Stingray... Your father is
missing in the earthquake.

I'm sorry.

I've been thinking that it might
be good if he dies.

Miss Sylia!

I'm sure that Mama called him.

I don't care if you need
to use a cable!

Establish a circuit between
us and the team inside!

Damn! We might have to give
up the rest of the plan.

Hey, I thought you were
off today, Leon.

You're going overboard,
aren't you?

I've heard this incident
will be on the air,

so we can show the citizens that
the AD Police can be trusted.

A circuit hasn't been
established yet?!

It's about to connect!

It's staged? I don't like
things like this.

It's strange.

I know the top brass wouldn't
give permission

to show the AD Police's operations
or equipment to the news media.

Settling this is a long way off.

What do you mean by that?

Dispatch the K-suits! Our weapons
don't work against it at all!

I can't believe they're going
to use that useless thing.

I wonder if they want to die?

Die?!

Nene, finished yet?

Anybody could do this job if it was
just cutting the electricity!

Wait a second, I'm almost finished.

Hurry up!

Sylia, I'm going in!

Sylia!

Priss, what's the current situation?

They're withdrawing the first team
and bringing out the K-suits.

Okay. Hit and away!

Since this is such a circus,

I didn't believe the Knight
Sabers would come.

The K-suits!

Get out of my way! I'm
going to finish it!

There are some noisy guys here.

Nene, haven't you finished yet?

I haven't done anything
like this in a while.

Don't fool around, kid!

How rude!

This way here, and...

Good! I can do it!

It's no good! That boomer is...

Hurry up and get out!

That boomer wants to combine
with the K-suit!

Now, I'm done!

Priss, are you ready?

You're slow.

Who the hell do you think you are?

Switch on!

You did it, Nene.

Incredible! The boomer is
becoming smaller and smaller.

Let's go.

They're here all right!

Ladies, I've been waiting for you.

She changed the phase on
the electrical current

and stopped the boomer
from getting bigger.

Here it comes!

Linna!

Damn!

We need to hurry up, or this thing
will get saturated and explode!

Nene!

I did it! Now you know I can do it!

Nene, hurry up and
smash the core!

I know that!

What an ugly monster!

What is Papa making?

A semi-human.

What's a semi-human?

I've heard it means a thing that
can substitute for human beings.

Wow! Papa's incredible, isn't he?

Really? I don't know about that.

I wonder if what he's doing
is betraying God's will.

Even so, do you still think
he's incredible, Sylia?

Why?!

Mama?

Papa...

Linna!

What perfect powered
suits they wear!

I'm going to attack it first!

I'm sorry, but please leave now.

You're saying I have to go home?!

Are you saying he doesn't want
to see his wife at all?!

His work is more important
than his family, is it?!

No matter what we do, rejection
symptoms appear in the subject.

I think you understand
what I mean.

Of course they do! Because you're
doing things against God's will.

Come here, Sylia! Papa is saying
that he doesn't need you anymore.

The Doctor never said
anything like that!

Let's go, Sylia!

Papa!

Papa...

Why me?

Mama... Mama is...

Mama's been sick.

She hadn't been the same person
she was for a long time.

From now on, Papa will
take good care of you.

Papa...

That's right. I'll tell you what
we'll do from now on.

I have a favor to ask of you, Sylia.

I want you to help me
with my work.

What do I need to do?

You don't need to do anything.

You'll just sleep for a short while.

You trust your Papa, don't you?

You love your Papa, don't you?

You'll help me, won't you?

Good! Now I can give life
to the boomer.

Linna!

Thanks!

Our meters are getting very
close to the limit.

Nene and I will keep the boomer
from moving around.

You smash the core!

I understand!

Smash the core!

I did it.

Linna! Hey, Linna!

Our meters are almost expired.
Let's go!

What the hell? What the
hell are they doing?!

Are they going to kill them?

Don't hit them. This is
just a threat.

Don't let the Knight Sabers go!

I guess that was the main purpose
of the dispatch this time.

I understand now.

Why are they aiming at us?!

Linna!

Linna!

The AD Police press the attack.

Priss, Linna and Nene
are cornered!

Apparently, we've been their
target from the beginning.

Oh, no! The battery meters
have reached their limit!

If this goes on, Priss and
others will be...

Now there's no other choice but
for me to go out there!

Next Bubblegum Crisis!
