Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040 (1998–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Look at Yourself - full transcript

When a boomer at Genom's deep-sea testing facility wreaks havoc in Tokyo, Sylia deploys the Knight Sabers before Nigel's repairs on the suits are complete!

Erin, I'll be returning home on
our anniversary next month.

This time, I promise I'll be home.

About your birthday a little while
ago... Are you still mad at me?

A little while ago? It was
three months ago.

What the hell have you been
doing for three months?!

I already explained it to
you, didn't I?

Because of the submersion
accident in the 4th block...

First of all, how many times did
you come home this year?

Twice! Just twice!

On top of that, one time was
for only five hours!

Honey, please listen to me!



I don't need any more excuses!

Hey...

First of all, how many times did
you come home this year?

Twice! Just twice!

Get out of my way, boomer!

Walking in the middle of the road,
what do you think you are?!

What? I'm gonna call the
AD Police if you touch me!

Don't stare at me!

Well, I'm going to try it on.

It's cold!

The coolant is still being adjusted.

Please be a little patient.

This is great! It jumps a lot
lighter than before!

Look at me, Sylia! I can move
much easier than before!



When I wear this, I won't
be inferior to Priss!

You've come here again.

Because of him, tuning
will be far faster.

He has a knack for it.

Mackey, I don't want you to get
involved with this place.

I want you to be ordinary.

Yes, be an ordinary boy.

What we're doing has nothing
to do with you.

She's right. Nigel is a
special exception,

but the Knight Sabers are
a team just for girls.

Right, Sylia?

There are no clothes here that you
can wear, Mr. Mackey.

I guess so.

Mr. Meisio, how long have
you been working here?

Since Miss Sylia came
back to Tokyo.

Because she saved my life.

I wonder if I should stay
here or not?

Why do you say things like that?

I'm sorry. I said something
that I shouldn't have!

I'm sorry. I followed you
without asking.

Is it okay?

Well, Sylia went out
somewhere so...

It's incredible! Did you make
this yourself, Nigel?

It isn't finished yet.

It's a wonderful job to be able
to make things like this!

Genom is scheduled to complete
the Showhamm Project soon,

which will solve the chronic
shortages of energy.

With the progress of this project,

the international stock price of
Genom Corp. is rising suddenly.

In the London stockmarket...

Every time I go out of town,

it makes me sick to see that
stupid umbrella in the sky.

I'm sorry to make you come
to a place like this.

The boomers working on the Sky
Hook will be trashed soon, right?

The chairman has no intention
of slowing or stopping production.

As a matter of fact, he's planning
to increase production.

Does he still want to increase
the number of boomers?

Recovery from the quake
is already complete!

It's for developing frontier planets.

The next target will be the natural
resources of Jupiter and Saturn.

He's conducting experiments on
boomers in the Atlantic

which will be able to function
in severe environments.

In the deep sea?

Pressure and such are similar to
planets with high gravity.

Continue.

This experimental boomer, which
is incapable of making decisions,

is called a remote slave type,
and its common name is Moto.

I already know that!

I'm sorry.

I have to remember your
application for this.

That's none of your business!

What happened to the Moto?
Has it gotten out of control?

It's not clear yet. It seems one of
them has appeared in Tokyo.

My section is very upset, and
we're currently searching for it.

The Moto isn't able to
move by itself.

Where's the reflector that's
supposed to operate it?

We're not certain.

Communications with the deep
sea facility have been cut.

What would happen if a boomer
with such abilities

came to the surface and
went insane?

It's not armored, but it's equipped
for harsh environments,

so it's like a walking fortress.

Contact me again if you
find anything out.

Liar...

The Moto in the
experimental facility?

Are you saying that the Moto

has come to Tokyo on its own, and
been walking around for a month?

It's too ridiculous!

The name of the reflector is Bill
Nordberg, he's an engineer.

He's the only one who
can operate it.

The Moto probably appeared in
Tokyo because his wife lives here.

I see.

There are some civilians who've
already called the AD Police.

Good job. Let them take
care of it, I guess.

It's wandering around town.

Linna's suit isn't complete yet, so
you and Priss are going.

What's wrong?

This neighborhood's unsafe if
there's a strange boomer like that.

Bill, did you come home?

What are you talking about?

Your husband's at the bottom of
the Atlantic as always, isn't he?

He's not inside.

Are you okay? I guess the
boomer's gone.

That was Bill.

We're looking for the reflector.

The only person who can stop
the boomer is your husband.

Excuse me, but can I leave now?

Sure. I've already finished
verifying your identity.

If you'll excuse me...

Bill...

I'm sorry, but let me borrow this.

Bill's come back to see me.

A boomer is at large. This is a
mission for all PC's in the area.

As soon as you find it, force
it to cease all activity.

The target is a remote boomer for
work in harsh environments.

I want to go with you.

WeII, leave things to us today.

Right, Priss?

Please don't disturb me.

Nigel has finished tuning my suit,
so I'm different than what I was.

The AD Police say they've lost
the target. It's time to go.

Priss, is anything wrong?

No, no. Nothing.

I will confirm with Nigel about your
suit, Priss, but I'm sure it's done.

Linna, you're going with me in the
mobile pit to support them.

Right.

The adjustments haven't
been finished...

Let's go.

I wonder why they're
taking so long?

That woman said something
strange, didn't she?

Her conscience drove her crazy!
She brought a man into the house.

No, it's a little strange.

First, th call from that
civilian is suspicious.

What's suspicious about it?

I think Genom is hiding something.

Where is this place?

A hydraulic gauge?

In the deep sea...

Boomer for High Pressure...
An experimental facility!

What's the matter?

Redial.

You've reached the
Nordberg residence.

We are not available right now.
Please leave a message.

Honey, I forgot to tell you I'll be
on vacation for three weeks,

starting with our anniversary.

Why don't we relax a while,
just you and me.

Nigel! Nigel! I know
you're in there!

Nigel! Nigel!

Nigel!

The Knight Sabers have...

Priss and the others have
dispatched with their hard suits!

They can do as they like. I didn't
tell them the suits were ready.

Don't you care?

None of my business. My job is to
maintain and setup the suits.

But I have to tell Sylia about
it as soon as possible!

That's broken.

It's already transformed!

Priss, Nene, are you there yet?

We've just arrived!

Let me go first!

Nene!

I can do it!
Nene!

I can do it!

I see...

I did it!

Nene!

It's connected to the net now.

Sylia! Sylia!

Priss' hard suit isn't ready yet!

I found the security tape at the
deep sea experimental facility.

Is this Bill?

Yeah...

Bill a month ago.

What?
Bill a month ago.

What?
The last picture left in the tape is
this one, taken one month ago.

The last picture left in the tape is
this one, taken one month ago.

It means that right after this,
something's going to happen.

What the...

An accident.

Hey, then who the hell is operating
that thing now?!

Priss, hurry up and get back here!

If you say so, but at this
very moment?

Here goes.

Damn!

Priss!
Damn!

Priss!
My arm, I can't move my arm!

My arm, I can't move my arm!

Oh, my God! It's my fault!

What's going to happen to Priss?!

Damn you!

Damn! I need my arm!

Priss, you can move your left
arm a little, can't you?

Shoot your right shoulder joint
with your left knuckle bomb!

The shock will restart the circuit.

Mackey...

Decrease the power of the knuckle
bomb to gauge three.

It's my rule to not intervene
in these ladies' actions.

Remember, this is a
special exception.

Thank you!

I understand, but...

Bill! You are Bill, aren't you?!

It's too dangerous!

You came home for me,
didn't you?!

Bill!

That's a boomer!

Ms. Erin! Your husband died in
an accident a month ago!

All right!

It's okay.

Even if he was alive, he had
no intention of coming home.

I think he really intended to
come home this time.

Your husband took three weeks
vacation starting today.

And he made reservations for two
to go to an island in the south.

Departur date is tomorrow.

Your husband also ordered this.

I know he wanted to bring that
home and see your happy face.

If he was alive...

A live stage, the eyes of the
band members meet.

Along with the noise of
the mic feed back,

a rough reflection echoes
loudly in the hall.

A strong beat begins to radiate.

When the stage turns to red,

a spotlight aims at a little shadow.

That's me.

Next Bubblegum Crisis!
