The Big O (1999–2003): Season 2, Episode 5 - The Greatest Villain - full transcript
Uh, Boss...?
Are you sure this is safe?
H-Hurry up...
Quit your whining!
723 years at hard labor, my ass!
I have Crow Boy
to thank for all this!
Boss!
Okay, come on!
One lightning strike,
and we're out of here!
Lightning?
Yeah. The prison's security network
runs under the floor here.
I'm gonna knock it out.
Whaddya think?
Pretty ingenious, huh?
Wha--? Y-You want me
to be a lightning rod?!
Just catch me
some lightning!
Y-You've gotta be kidding!
I don't wanna die!
You idiot! What do you
think you're doing?!
Hold on tight to that!
Don't you wanna
get outta here?!
Of course I do,
but not as a corpse!
Right, T-Bone?
We got a bite?
Crap!
I'm gonna be free!
So thaw who it is!
My name is Roger Smith.
This is Paradigm City, and I do a job
that's necessary to... necessary to...
It's all right for someone to sleep
past noon every once in a while.
That's what it means
to be a free human being.
My client today is the legal counsel
for Yoshifura-Yakamoto Industries.
It's the largest of the construction companies
that built Paradigm City's Domes,
the things that divided
this city into inside and outside.
"Memory"
By the way... What did that
writing say back there?
And that was the last
anyone heard from me.
Norman.
Yes, Dorothy?
I don't think Roger will
be coming home tonight.
So it would seem.
Nevertheless, it is my duty to be
prepared to serve him...
...a hot bowl of soup upon his return,
regardless of the hour.
I understand,
but we would never--
Look, I'm just asking
if you've heard from--
Hello. I'm sorry for
coming by so late.
Good evening, Colonel Dastun.
What seems to be the trouble?
It's pretty ironic.
Normally, his job is to negotiate between
other parties as a neutral observer.
What happened?
He's been kidnapped.
Who has?
Roger Smith.
By whom?
I don't know.
It's true that Roger should
have come back by now,
but how do you know
he's been kidnapped?
Serves you right,
Mr. Paradigm City's Top Negotiator!
Up 'til now, you've always been a bystander
in kidnapping-for-ransom cases like this.
But it's not a bad thing to be get involved
every once in a while, don't you think?
Huh?
Hm? What's that
you're saying?
Take a good look at this
villainous face, gentlemen!
This is the Dominus of Big O,
the evil Megadeus that's been...
...spreading fear in the
nights of Paradigm City.
Its operator,
you might say.
How does he know that?
Truly, your technology
is magnificent.
With their core technology
a black box, to be able to revive...
...a Megadeus in these modern times
is an act of defiance against God!
Yes, indeed!
Hai, hai!
I have promised to make
a more effective and appealing...
...presentation of your technology
to the Paradigm Corporation!
The arrangements for that
presentation... are almost ready.
Is it the kidnappers?!
Oh, dear. What shall I say
when I answer it?
L-Listen. It's vital to remain
calm at times like this.
Whatever you do, don't contradict
anything the kidnapper says.
- Wha--?
- Hello?
Yes.
Yes.
I understand.
I'll do that.
I see.
You're welcome.
Have a nice day.
D-Dorothy!
Who was it?!
The kidnapper.
And?
It looks like Roger has
been kidnapped, all right.
So he's safe.
Thank goodness.
And the kidnapper's
demands were...?
What is it?! Why aren't
you saying anything?!
Because I promised
I wouldn't talk to the police.
Okay, listen.
I was the one who told you
that Roger was--
I'll be handling all further
negotiations with the kidnappers.
Oh! I'm sure Master Roger
will be delighted.
Hey, wait! Wait just a minute!
Are you sure that's a good idea?!
I don't care how... well...
powerful an android this girl is,
are you telling me that R. Dorothy here
is going to be a Negotiator?
Yes.
Hey! Stop mimicking me!
BECK!
Crow boy, that surly android,
and money.
Three birds with one stone!
Damn, I'm smart!
But, Beck, I don't think
we're gonna be able...
...to keep stringing along these
Yoshifura-Yakamoto people forever.
Don't call me "Beck," you goon!
I'm "Doctor BeckIyn!"
Oh, that's right.
Still, something in me resists
the idea of calling you "Doctor"...
It doesn't matter.
I never planned to keep suckering
these guys for very long, anyway.
Then what're we gonna do,
Bec-- I mean, Doctor?
I suppose that junkheap of a doll
has learned how to talk like him by now...
Would you give it a rest?!
How long do you plan
to keep... on... mimicking me?!
I can't take it anymore!
I won't allow myself to stay here,
not even for another minute!
Got it...
I guess this is goodbye,
my defective android friend.
Big O!
Wha--?!
Thanks, I think
I'll keep this.
I can't believe
it was the watch...
Now it's my turn
to humiliate you.
What...?
Speak up, brother.
Big O!
R. Dorothy?
A Negotiator?!
No way can I condone this!
Colonel Dastun!
A Megadeus has appeared!
It's that black one!
What?!
STOP!
Big O...? But why?!
I'm smarter than
your average crook.
I made a perfect copy of your head's
bone structure and your vocal chords.
Big O! Big O!
This ain't no simple recording.
Big O! Big O!
It's calling that Megadeus with your voice.
It's calling that Megadeus with your voice.
Big 0! Big 0!
It's calling that Megadeus with your voice.
It's calling that Megadeus with your voice.
Big 0!
It's calling that Megadeus with your voice.
Big O...
It's gonna keep on walking in a daze
until it hits the south end of the city.
I won't let you do it!
You won't let me?
How are you gonna
stop me in there?
That big, black, good-for-nothing
Megadeus of yours...
...is gonna sink into the ocean!
Big O! Big O!
Big O! Big O!
Big O! Big O!
Big O!
Big O! Big O!
He... He stopped...!
Wha--? But why?!
Big O won't obey some warped imitation
that does nothing but call his name!
Shove it! This doesn't
improve your situation any!
Boss...
The Negotiator
is finally here, huh?
You're in better shape
than I expected, Roger.
Dorothy? You're the Negotiator?
All right, then,
the cast is assembled.
Is your oh-so-precious
Dorothy your lover?
That's preposterous!
Why, Roger. It's preposterous?
You can be so cruel.
Dorothy, don't
you start, too!
Do you understand
the situation we're in?!
I understand.
The man I love has been
taken captive by a villain.
R. DOROTHY WAYNERIGHT!
I'm joking. I'm just trying
to lighten the mood.
So, did you bring the goods?
Is that them?
I'm negotiating.
I'll give you these, so let Roger go.
Hey, these are...
Dorothy...
A-A Negotiator only uses force
as a last resort, Dorothy.
Thank you for the advice.
But I'm not interested in taking your job.
I do believe I'll humiliate Roger Smith
in front of his beloved android,
and help myself to the control unit
of the black Megadeus while I'm at it!
Oopsie-daisey!
Dorothy!
I'll put her control
system to good use, too.
DON'T!
Oh, shut up! How many times
have you humiliated me?!
Not once, not twice,
but three times!
Well, I'm putting
an end to it!
Dorothy!
You never learn, do you?
Damn it!
You won't get
away with this!
I'll just turn off the magnet, and--
Damn it, come back here...!
Damn!
It's stuck!
Are you all right, Dorothy?
I don't care about mass
Megadeus production anymore!
I'm gonna show you the miracle designed
by the genius intellect of Beck...
...and built with
Yoshifura-Yakamoto technology!
Here.
I brought a new tie.
You saved me.... I'll have
to thank you somehow.
I don't want any thanks,
but I do have a favor to ask.
And what might that be?
They're not listening! They're not
listening to a damn word I'm saying!
They'll pay for this!
Dove! T-Bone!
Time for the Final Together!
We're the heroes here!
That's right!
Let's prove it!
But we haven't
even practiced this...
Let's do it!
Combine!
"Combine"
"Wind God"
Beck the Great RX3...
...has arrived!
It worked!
We're just too cool,
aren't we, Boss?
Now, then, let's go drop that
black Megadeus into the sea!
I won't let you!
Huh?
Big O! Showtime!
What the--?
Colonel Dastun! The Megadeus just appeared
in the West 8th Street Dome!
What?!
Head back!
That Big O of yours
looks so damned archaic.
Let me ask you
one thing.
How did you know that I'm the one who
summons Big O and fights alongside him?
A Memory.
A Memory...?
A Memory just popped into
my head all of a sudden.
That you're the
Dominus of a Megadeus.
Me...? A Dominus?
Relax!
All of my Memories having to do with you
are gonna disappear right this instant!
"Cut"
I'm gonna show you
the mysteries of the Orient!
"Ultimate Evil"
Huh?
As an apprentice Negotiator,
you made the grade, Dorothy.
You haven't forgotten that I had
a favor to ask, have you?
Just name it.
A promise is a promise...
Are you sure this is safe?
H-Hurry up...
Quit your whining!
723 years at hard labor, my ass!
