The Big O (1999–2003): Season 2, Episode 11 - The Big Fight - full transcript
Norman, clear out.
This one is mine.
I'd hoped that I'd never
see it again, though...
Big Duo...
Who's in there...?
Who's operating you?
SchwarzwaId?!
Dorothy...!
Whoever it is that's at your controls,
I don't have time to play with you right now!
I suppose the sky won't be
on my side in this fight, will it?
Dorothy!
Why, you--!
What the hell is happening?!
Truth.
Those who seek it out unknowingly
become obsessed with the illusion...
...that they can control
this world... this tiny world.
The incomplete book that Gordon
Rosewater wrote in his younger days...
...depicts the final
days of humanity.
And the foolish humans
who use the power of God.
Dad... I think you understand
why I did what I did.
Just like you, I'll create history
with my own two hands.
Damn!
Who are you?
Who are you?!
The Memories are here,
Negotiator!
Big O, it doesn't make any sense
to just let him have his way.
Don't you agree?
No matter how often you come back from
the grave, that's the only place you belong!
Eternal sleep means eternal!
It's moving?
You!
Alan Gabriel...!
This feels so good!
I haven't felt anything this good
since I half-quit being human!
My body, my nerves,
they've all been tied into Big Duo!
Big Duo itself is my body!
You'd go that far...?
But you have it backwards. You're under
the control of that incomplete Megadeus.
What?!
An incomplete Megadeus
seeks out a Dominus.
You're just being used
as a device to activate it.
That's why your master
stole Dorothy, isn't it?
Which do you mean?
The Union? Rosewater?
Either way, I don't care.
There's just one thing that
I have to make perfectly clear.
I have to teach you that your
unwarranted self-confidence,
that arrogance that comes from your
mastery over machines, is just a delusion!
By sending you to Hell!
Big Duo!
Showtime!
Damn! That last
attack must've--
I haven't the least
intention of giving in,
but I have to admit that this
fight has me a little worried.
But...
That isn't the Megadeus'
original form.
The fantasies that Gordon
dreamed up won't be repeated!
Men who do nothing
but dream...
...should just stay in
their dreams forever!
Be afraid, Roger Smith!
This dream isn't going
to end until I kill you!
You monster!
Die!
A Megadeus chooses
its Dominus.
W-Who's there?!
What the--?
Why is this happening?!
But I haven't killed him yet!
You, who possess the foolishness
of both man and machine...
W-Who said that?!
It chooses one who is able to control
the power of God created by man.
One who is able
to arrive at one truth.
You are not such a man!
The Union is coming...
Things have sure
gotten serious.
Gordon Rosewater's Dome
was set on fire, and he--
I'm sorry, but I have something
urgent to see to.
My men are trailing those combat
machines that attacked your place.
I appreciate it, but I already
know where I need to go.
Are you telling me that there's nothing
I can do in this city anymore?!
A man should find for himself
that one thing that he ought to do.
Don't you think so, Dastun?
Alex Rosewater is trying
to become this worlds God,
even if means
committing patricide.
What am I doing... ?
Angel, and now Dorothy...
I chase after people who have left...
People who have been taken away...
But this time, it's...
What's going on?
Dorothy?!
Dorothy, you're safe!
All right, that's the
last of my work here.
Well done. I appreciate
all your hard work.
You can pick up
your check later.
Huh? Yeah, sure...
I bet you're happy that you'll
have full control of that thing.
I see you understand.
Yes, I'm extremely happy.
He who becomes Dominus of Big Fau
will become absolute ruler of the world.
Why do I get the feeling that you knew
what would happen to the Megadeus...
...that half-mechanical
jerk was piloting?
You're a capable man who not only
possesses valuable Memories,
but who also understands
how they should be used.
Geez, give it a rest.
Paradigm City will be
a battlefield soon.
Once it's over, I'm going to
reset this city once again.
I'll reset it with my own will,
and my own strength.
You're saying that we'll all
lose our Memories again?
I don't intend to repeat
something so inefficient.
Huh?
That was the one blunder
that my father made.
A blunder, huh?
Look, I--
I want you to assist me.
Now... and forever.
Her memory circuits, as well as their
I/O peripherals, have all been pulled out,
and even if we were able to take back
Dorothy's original Memories,
there is only one person who
could properly restore them.
The late Professor Wayneright...
I will see to it that Big O is repaired
and rearmed before the night is out.
See to it...
Oh, yes.
One more thing, sir.
This was delivered
a while ago.
Who's it from?
SchwarzwaId...?
Schwarzwald's letter was to be delivered
in the event of his death.
This man who made it his
mission to seek out the truth...
...in this city and report
it to the public...
Schwarzwald.....
It was as if he was still
wandering the city...
...in search of his own personal truth
even after his body had perished.
I wonder if he knew?
When he was betrayed
by Big Duo,
did he realize that there is
probably more than one truth?
The power of God,
created by man.
Divine thunder raining down
from the heavens.
Dorothy, it feels like it's been a long time
since you came to live here.
You know, I never answered that question
you asked me so long ago, did I?
It went like this: If you were
human, instead of an android,
would you and I have
fallen in love?
If things had been that way...
then maybe we would have.
That's my answer.
And don't tell me that
I'm dodging the issue.
Right now, I can't
commit to one truth.
But I won't waver in doing
what needs to be done.
Or in going down the path
I have to take.
Wait for me.
I don't want to
be here anymore...
I'll find the Memories as soon as I can,
and then go back home to Mom...
Will I... Will I ever
see Mom again?
She was the only one
who called me an angel.
These marks on your back...
They're a sign that you're the
reincarnation of an angel.
I know you'll be happy.
I want you to believe that, all right?
It can't be...
It can't...
This isn't possible...
Huh?
That's--
How is that possible...?
This is crazy.
This can't be happening...
These are my memories,
so how the hell...
This one is mine.
I'd hoped that I'd never
see it again, though...
Big Duo...
