Cyborg 009 Episode 5
First aired: 3rd May 1968

This is the first scene of the movie. I'm sure
that we will be able to make this happen.

To bring awareness
to the current conflict in Vetoria,
we need to make films like this.

And for this, we must
make sacrifices. Understood?

I wonder what
happened to Seven?



I don't know. Didn't he tell us to
meet him in front of this statue?

Yes, he did.
I hope he didn't get lost.

Oh, it's you.

Took you long
enough to get here.

Sorry, sorry.
The roads were crowded.

Sorry, did you wait long, 007?

Of course I "waited long".
We'd better hurry or we'll miss the show!

Okay. Let's go.

What's that over there?

It's probably some demonstration.

Want to go check it out?

Oh, no, you don't. We'll be late.

She's right.

Oh, please, just for a bit...



Okay, ladies and gentlemen, now we'll
try two-digit numbers. Ready, Mr. Tomo?

What is 23 minus 12?

And now, ladies and gentlemen,
now we'll ask Mr. Tomo's wife.

What is 13 plus 15?

Hey, I bet they can't
do multiplication and division?

Of course they can.
Ask them anything.

Okay, what's 28 divided by 4?

Okay, 28 divided by 4...
Who will answer it?

Oh, Kubikuro,
you know the answer?

Okay, good boy.
You try it. What's 28 divided by 4?

Wow, that's really good!

I stand corrected.

Ah, good boy.

You're going to
grow up to be a fine dog.

Puppies really are cute.

Hey, what was that for?

Come on, we can't
watch this forever.

But don't you think it's impressive?

Yes, we do.
Those dogs are very special.

Is that all you have to say?

007, why do you think we
came here in the first place?

Well, of course we came here to
see 003...Frangoise's ballet performance.

Exactly. We can't waste
time looking at dogs. Let's go.

Okay, I apologise for that.

Hey! That was great! You win the title!

Hey! Be quiet!

Sorry to keep you waiting.

No problem.
You were great.

I'm so sorry, Francoise.
I didn't mean to mess you up.

I'm not speaking to you.
You just don't know when
to keep your mouth shut.

Aw, don't be so sour.
Your swan-dance was beautiful.

You don't even know what you're talking about.
And thanks to you, my performance was ruined!

She's right. She wasn't
even competing for a "title".

He's right. You don't
understand anything!

Why don't you just go watch
that doggie show some more?

Hey, don't go, 003!

You'll have to find
your own way home.

I'm going with 003.

Sayonara!

Ah...

What louts.

Owowow!

Frangoise, I hope you get over it soon.

Oh, I'm not mad at all anymore.

I just put on an act so he'd learn.

Oh, that makes me feel better.

Wait a minute.

I hear a dog barking.

Why does that matter?
I can hear a dog barking too.

Oh, no! The man we just saw performing
with those dogs is being kidnapped!

Come on,
get in!

Hey, what're you doing!

Hey, we'd better get
that little shrimp too...

Never mind the shrimp,
let's get out of here!

But Boss, are you sure
we should let the shrimp escape?

Shut yer trap and let's go!

Where to?

Hey, stop, thief!

Hurry! Let's scram!

Hey, hold it!

Ah. We're too late. Fine!

Don't, 009!
Something's following us...

Hey,you!

Oops, you got me.

Oh, it's you, Seven.

What were you
doing down there?

I was rescuing the
puppy who can do math!

Er, good boy.

Poor thing.
He must be scared.

That's right, your
name is "Kubikuro", huh?

Kubikuro, don't cry.

I promise we'll
rescue your mom and dad.

Okay, okay, I get it.

Looks like he likes you, Joe.

Kubikuro! What's 3 times 3?

Seven, now's not the time for that!

Oops, there I go again. I apologise.

Hmm, you must be talking
about Professor Inuzuka.
["Inu" means "dog"]

What? Professor Inuzuka?

Yes, he's the leading
figure in dog breeding research,
especially in the capacity of their brainpower.

I'm certain that little
"Kubikuro" there is one of the Professor's
latest specimens...particularly intelligent.

That explains why
he's so good at math.

But then why was
Professor Inuzuka kidnapped?

Hmm, of that I am not quite certain...

But I suppose someone might want
to use his research for evil purposes.

Good boy, don't worry.

Kubikuro-chan! Big-bro 007 will
help you...don't worry! BIeh-bleh-bleh...

Ah. You're no fun. Darnit.

Seven! What do ou
think you're doing! That hurt!

Kubikuro, let's go
back to my apartment.

Wait just a minute.
How are we supposed to find the
men who kidnapped Professor Inuzuka?

We'll just have to
think of something, 003.

But you have no
clues to work from.

He's right. If only we'd at least
gotten the license plate number!

What I want to know is
who exactly those two men were.

If we knew that, this would
be easy, Professor, you old hack.

"Old hack"?!!

Professor, I think the only way is to
use Kubikuro as bait to lure them to us.

Yes, that's exactly
what I was about to say.

Okay. I'll go back to
the hall tomorrow morning.

Okay. Goodnight.

Look, here's my
apartment, Kubikuro.

Okay, it's all done,
Kubikuro. This is your home.

Glad you like it.

Kubikuro, I understand that it's
lonely without your papa and mama,
because my parents are gone too.

So let's be friends.

Good boy. Sleep well tonight, okay?

Well, Kubikuro, goodnight!

Ahh, that sleep was great.

Good morning, Kubikuro!

Kubikuro?

Hey! He's gone?

Kubikuro!

Oh, no!

Kubikuro!

Good morning, Professor Inuzuka.
Now it's time for the surgery.

No way!

What?!

I was already tricked by generals
in the last war into performing surgical
experiments that destroyed so many lives!

I could never perform
anything so cruel again!

Now, now, don't get so riled.
We've thought everything through.

Think all you want,
I'm not helping you!

So you're telling me
you'd rather die than help us.

That's right! And anyway, all of these
dogs are too old to be of any use to you.

Oh? Are you suggesting that
I should capture young dogs instead?

It would take at least two years for
these dogs to give birth to a new one.

What? Two years?
The Vetoria war might be over by then...

Then I guess you'd better give up.

You were foolish to try making
dogs fight in the war in the first place!

Hey, Boss...

We did find a puppy
with the other dogs.

Really? Is that true?

Yes, a really smart puppy in fact.

But unfortunately, he got away.

Morons! Get him back at once!

Hey, Boss, here should we look?

No clue. I guess we'll
just have to start with Tokyo.

I doubt it'll help at all.

Huhh?

Hey, wasn't that the puppy?

It's been a week since
Kubikuro went missing.

I wonder where he went?

Let's hope that the
bad guys didn't get him.

Yes, but since we couldn't
find him after all that searching...

One must conclude...

Eh?

Don't worry, Joe!

I'm sure that Kubikuro was picked up by
some nice person and is being taken care of!

No, I don't think so.

Kubikuro is no ordinary dog.

What's up? Are you done?

No, not yet. I need to rest
for a while and then try again.

Okay, it's been two months now,
so it's time for another surgery.

No, bring Kubikuro here
first so that we can test him.

Okay. Coming right up.

Okay, his place
should be just fine.

Do you really think that
he can shoot fire from his eyes?

That's why we're testing him.
Okay, Kubikuro, shoot us some fire!

We are still
investigating the testimony from
the witness and are unsure of its validity...

According to this witness,
after the flash of light, two men
carrying a small dog could be seen.

Believing there to be some connection,
Tokyo police are looking for these men.

Professor!

Yes, I'm sure it's the two that kidnapped
Professor Inuzuka. Go out there at once!

Hey, the second surgery
is taking too long. Hurry up!

I can faintly see it!
It's on the other side of th's mountain!

Kubikuro, I'm implanting evil killing
intentions into your brain right now.

I'll probably be killed
right after you wake up.

So I hope you
live on forever...

Fight against evil forces for me.
And blast the fire of hatred from your eyes!

Okay, guys?
We're storming in.

Let's go!

Oh, no!

Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!

Some weird people
are trying to break in!

Great! Let's tie up this one.

Hey, wait a minute...

Shut up.
Behave yourself.

Boss, what will we
do about this place?

We're blowing it up.

When everything's ready,
head for the back exit.

Huh, they're not here!

Where are the
Professor and Kubikuro?

They're underground.

Behind that door over there!

Okay, let's go!

No, wait! It's rigged!

Whaaat?

Oh, no! It's set on
a timer to explode!

Oh, God, help me...

Idiot! Let's retreat!

Wow, that was something.

Are you okay, 003?

I'm fine. What about
the dogs and the Professor?

Ah...how cruel!

Oh, dear...we were too late.

Huh? Kubikuro isn't down there.

Ah! There's a motorboat!

Everything's gone according to plan.

Boss, we're in trouble!

What? Never mind, just kill them!

Ah!

Kubikuro, please forgive us.

We took too long to find you,
and now your parents are gone. I m sorry.

Hey! Someone, help!

I'm going to take all of you
to the police on murder ch rges!

What was that?
Kubikuro went missing?

Yes. He was acting strangely
ever since we rescued him and well...

Well, I don't blame him.
He's an orphan now.

Poor thing. He still hasn't
recovered from the shock.

Ah! If it isn't Kubikuro!

What are you doing?

Hey, Kubikuro!

Kubikuro!

"The mysterious fireball:
everyone in the car was burned."

Do you think Kubikuro did this, Seven?

Yes. That look in his eyes hen he
saw them going into the car was not normal.

But dogs can't set hings on fire.

He does hates
those men an awful lot.

But still, Kubikuro wouldn't
do something like that.

Hello?

Yes.

Huh? Kubikuro did?

Yes. Where is he right now?

At the dog pound?

Okay, we'll be there right away.

Joe, why is Kubikuro at the pound?

He accidentally burned the driver when
he intended to only burn the criminals.

See? Didn't I tell you?

Oh, no!

Hey, Kubikuro!

Kubikuro!

Hey! Kubikuro!

Hey, don't do it!

The tragic explosions were caused by a
train's derailment after it was set on fire.

We believe that this is somehow connected
with the spontaneous combustion of the car,
and the fire at the pound a few days ago.

The police are urgently
investigating this matter.

As I feared. Professor Inuzuka performed
some weird surgical procedure on Kubikuro.

But why would
he do such a thing?

It was probably his last
effort to get revenge on the bad
men who were trying to use them for evil.

009, you must not let this
get any more out of hand.

Understood, sir.
I'll resolve this myself.

Good man. I'm sorry,
but you're the only one who can.

The men who kidnapped Professor Inuzuka
will be released from the hospital tomorrow.

Perhaps then, we can (earn
more about the fireball incident.

I hope we're not burned.

Ah, don't worry.
That‘s why we're wearing these suits.

Oh, there he is!

Have mercy!

Kubikuro, it's me!

You bad boy.
Why are you doing this?

I don't want to have to kill you.

Please go back to normal!

Don't you understand me?

You understand, right?

Stupid dog!
You still don't understand?!

Kubikuro...

Kubikuro, please forgive me!

I wish I didn't have to shoot you.

God... why do you allow
such horrible things to happen?

Isn't anyone safe?

Please take Kubikuro to a
better place, filled with peace.

Next episode preview:
This is the Kingdom of Garaliya.

At first glance, it looks peaceful, but a
dark shadow of conspiracy is overtaking it.

The evil General Ornesto and his
minions are trying to seize the throne.

The secret plan to assassinat
the king is going ahead...

The king's life is in danger.

Dispatched out to
rescue him is our hero, 009!

However, a marine squadron
of fighters is waiting for him.

The King of Garaliya's life is in danger!

Hang in there, 009!

You are our final hope, Cyborg 009!

Please thwart the plot
to assassinate King Garaliya!
