00:00:47 Early 21st century. Robot technology
00:00:54 By mid-century,
00:00:56 in robot knowledge and application.
00:01:00 From domestic uses to weaponry,
00:01:03 Japan dominates the world market.
00:01:06 As the technology is extended
00:01:09 the mood of
00:01:11 turns against use of humanoids.
00:01:14 Just as with nuclear power
00:01:18 U.N regulations are proposed
00:01:22 to limit robot technology.
00:01:25 Japan fiercely
00:01:29 but the will of the U.N.
00:01:32 Japan takes the extreme step
00:01:38 And begins a new policy
00:01:43 Japan uses it high technology
00:01:47 10 years go by.
00:01:50 The resulting information blackout
00:01:53 turns Japan into a total enigma.
00:01:59 For an entire decade,
00:02:02 no foreigner penetrates the veil.
00:02:43 This is disrupting
00:02:45 Now that your family has already
00:02:50 Don't the Japanese
00:02:52 understand it's Christmas?
00:02:54 Dragging us miles out here...
00:02:58 At least the British, French
00:04:47 "S.W.O.R.D."
00:04:55 Vexille!
00:05:01 Final stand-by. We go in on my mark.
00:05:07 Dumb gig. Dumb time of year.
00:05:10 Just some Christmas party, right...
00:05:14 Do the job quick
00:05:16 and you'll be home
00:05:38 Each of the world's nations has
00:05:44 and come to
00:05:48 Thus we can say that this result
00:05:52 represents a true and just future
00:05:59 If we at Daiwa Heavy Industries
00:06:05 I'd appreciate a round of applause.
00:06:16 Didn't think so...
00:06:44 The primary target is Saito
00:06:48 We're working on a tip-off.
00:06:52 Keep your eyes open.
00:06:56 I said we didn't need 'em.
00:07:01 No idea. Ask the chief...
00:07:04 They're the latest Daiwa models.
00:07:07 Latest or not,
00:07:10 I don't trust them.
00:09:32 S.W.O.R.D.?
00:09:36 Darn you, Maria...
00:10:25 Get out of my way!
00:12:46 Darn.
00:13:01 Dispose of all the bodies.
00:13:17 What the heck's going on?
00:13:19 What's SWORD doing here?
00:13:22 Answer me.
00:13:25 For God's sake, I demand to know.
00:13:37 Leon!
00:14:24 "VEXILLE"
00:16:36 "SWORD HQ, Los Angeles"
00:17:01 It's a flagrant violation
00:17:05 Which ones?
00:17:07 They ignored just about every one.
00:17:12 Which part is metallic?
00:17:14 Well, it's bio-metal.
00:17:17 So this was his only robotic part?
00:17:21 I hope that's the case.
00:17:23 But during the raid
00:17:27 It might've been added later.
00:17:30 Is that even possible?
00:17:33 Not with our technology.
00:17:36 If Japan is manufacturing
00:17:41 It would pose a threat
00:17:44 This mean Saito's an android?
00:17:50 In any case,
00:17:53 there's nothing comparable
00:17:56 It'll take forever
00:18:00 This reminds me of San Pedro
00:18:15 Zak...
00:18:39 Despite all the people
00:18:42 We only talk to people with
00:18:49 It's not the city's fault.
00:18:51 It's the age we live in.
00:18:55 Anything from Irene?
00:19:02 Not a word.
00:19:04 Sorry...
00:19:07 Hear anything about San Pedro
00:19:15 Really...
00:19:19 Was the tip-off for this mission
00:19:22 Correct.
00:19:24 Not that it's a secret any more.
00:19:34 "Port of San Pedro"
00:20:22 Why the need for us to guard this?
00:20:25 That's the latest
00:20:29 But any enemy would have 'em, too.
00:20:32 The battlefield is Japan's
00:20:34 It's not right that everyone
00:20:41 Some day, they'll get
00:21:27 Cease pursuit and withdraw.
00:21:30 You've got to be kidding.
00:21:32 I repeat, cease pursuit immediately.
00:21:35 This is our turf.
00:22:09 Zak!
00:23:18 Be careful.
00:23:21 SWORD...
00:23:23 December... 23rd... Mt. Filar...
00:23:27 Beware... of a meeting.
00:23:30 Maria...
00:23:47 Leon trusted
00:23:54 I mean,
00:23:55 even now I can't believe
00:23:59 Function-wise?
00:24:01 You couldn't tell it wasn't human.
00:24:04 Might it have been?
00:24:06 There was
00:24:09 But those eyes...
00:24:13 Autopsy results?
00:24:15 They sent the android back to Japan
00:24:16 after political pressure.
00:24:19 In the end...
00:24:22 they hardly laid a finger on it.
00:24:28 Really...
00:24:34 Maria...
00:24:36 Japan. Completely off our screens
00:24:40 But we ignore its
00:24:43 recent suspicious
00:24:47 We still don't know
00:24:48 the purpose of
00:24:51 But a State Dept. Order says
00:24:56 must be returned to his duties.
00:25:00 There's also strong pressure
00:25:10 As for the results of the autopsy,
00:25:13 it's composed of
00:25:17 Judging from bio-signature analysis,
00:25:21 we strongly suspect Saito is
00:25:29 Android production is a grave
00:25:37 Nonetheless, the White House
00:25:41 Any action that
00:25:45 might harm good relations
00:25:54 But Japan is up to something.
00:26:00 Henceforth we at SWORD
00:26:06 No matter what happens,
00:26:07 you can forget about
00:26:14 We are to face this threat
00:26:19 and neutralize it by our own means.
00:26:25 Our mission this time:
00:26:29 To infiltrate Fortress Japan.
00:26:33 Japan has been veiled in mystery
00:26:38 The time has come to unmask it.
00:26:51 These images are of Tokyo
00:26:57 As you know, no-one has been there
00:27:02 Its most powerful corporation,
00:27:04 has dominated the economy
00:27:07 Daiwa dictates Japan's politics
00:27:11 We also guess that it's behind
00:27:16 Japan's high-tech seclusion
00:27:19 by an electro-magnetic network
00:27:22 It relies on 270 sea-based antennas
00:27:30 As you know, it filters out
00:27:35 and scrambles outbound signals
00:27:39 to create a total barrier
00:27:43 rendering even satellite
00:27:47 Your mission is to penetrate
00:27:51 then transmit a reverse beacon
00:27:56 If successful,
00:27:58 this will facilitate
00:28:03 The beacon transmission from Tokyo
00:28:06 must last at least 3 minutes
00:28:12 One problem is your entry route.
00:28:14 All waters and airspace
00:28:18 are guarded by a warning system
00:28:22 Not even a micro-recon craft,
00:28:27 can get through.
00:28:50 After you send
00:28:54 the infiltration team will press
00:28:58 to gain as much information
00:29:02 72 hours later you'll meet at a
00:29:27 Commander Leon Fayden
00:29:29 has volunteered
00:29:34 10 years ago
00:29:38 leading an anti-terrorist task unit
00:29:42 They suddenly shut the borders
00:29:45 but he was there
00:29:59 Why didn't you tell me?
00:30:02 I didn't want you to worry.
00:30:04 Not about volunteering...
00:30:06 the fact that you were in Japan.
00:30:10 I never had a chance to.
00:30:12 Is that the only reason?
00:30:16 Yes, it is.
00:30:32 Didn't want you involved...
00:32:02 Bring up the deck monitor!
00:32:06 This vessel is not damaged
00:32:09 A nearby US cargo ship
00:32:13 We are investigating the cause.
00:32:15 Just in case,
00:33:07 Freight inspections all complete.
00:33:23 Safely past border security.
00:33:25 We'll lose radio contact shortly.
00:34:31 3 minutes to analysis completion.
00:34:36 Receiving beacon transmission.
00:34:42 Please guys, just 3 minutes...
00:34:45 Analysis is in progress...
00:34:52 1 minute passed.
00:35:02 2 minutes, 30 seconds passed.
00:35:11 10 seconds to completion.
00:35:13 9,8,7...
00:35:17 What is it?
00:35:19 Signal's lost, sir.
00:35:21 - Find out why.
00:35:23 Scan again.
00:35:32 System alert...
00:35:39 System alert...
00:36:01 Vexille, this way.
00:36:33 Zak!
00:37:09 In an entire decade,
00:37:12 you are our first foreign guests.
00:37:18 We've quite a welcome for you.
00:37:24 On my signal, rush for the water.
00:37:28 I won't go by myself.
00:37:29 You're the only one with a back-up
00:37:35 We'll join you later.
00:38:44 Leon...
00:38:58 Don't worry, Miss.
00:39:01 I'm alone. Nothing to be afraid of.
00:39:07 Maria changed your clothes, not me.
00:39:11 Maria?
00:39:17 Don't go outside!
00:39:49 Leon...
00:40:15 Do exactly as I say.
00:40:27 Maria...
00:40:31 Don't you dare go out again
00:40:35 Sorry, Maria. It was my fault.
00:40:42 I never thought SWORD would turn up.
00:40:51 So much food...
00:40:55 What about my colleagues?
00:40:59 - Go cool this.
00:41:02 What about Leon and the others?
00:41:07 What happened to Leon Fayden?
00:41:11 His whereabouts unknown.
00:41:19 We're still looking.
00:41:39 This is real.
00:41:41 It's really rare, y'know...
00:42:06 You slept for 2 days.
00:42:09 Get some food in you.
00:42:19 It was you who sent the messenger
00:42:32 One more question.
00:42:35 Where are we?
00:42:40 This used to be known as Tokyo.
00:42:48 Tokyo...
00:43:03 Captain, a second transmission.
00:43:07 Are you certain?
00:43:09 Certain, sir.
00:43:11 It's still coming in.
00:43:14 We're counting on you this time...
00:43:25 Never used chopsticks before, Miss?
00:43:34 Tasty?
00:43:50 That's like magic.
00:43:52 Where did you hide it?
00:44:05 Saito's heading this way.
00:44:32 Most impressive...
00:44:42 On second thoughts, not.
00:44:48 That's kinda pathetic.
00:44:52 Where's the SWORD women?
00:45:02 Any chick would run
00:45:04 from a tacky tie like that.
00:45:06 The boss goes soft on you
00:45:12 but I don't have his problem.
00:45:15 I don't know what you're planning
00:45:18 but whatever you do
00:45:38 I'll see you at headquarters.
00:45:47 He's right.
00:45:51 It's just a matter of time.
00:46:24 Daiwa's serious about finding you.
00:46:34 What is it?
00:46:38 This place is so full of life.
00:46:48 I've never seen anywhere like it.
00:46:54 It makes me nostalgic somehow...
00:47:56 Bad news.
00:48:51 Come here...
00:48:54 Get in there.
00:49:04 Analysis completion...
00:49:06 Captain, 3 minutes completed.
00:49:09 Okay, let's run the analysis.
00:49:15 Run the feeds from satellites
00:49:22 Running analysis.
00:49:26 Analysis is in progress.
00:49:45 Nothing there...
00:49:48 No mountains... no rivers...
00:49:53 No human habitation...
00:49:56 What's going on in Tokyo?
00:50:10 That's all that's left of Tokyo?
00:50:21 Daiwa Heavy Industries...
00:50:23 We've got
00:50:25 Lt. Commander Vexille Serra's
00:50:28 Satellite JD14
00:50:34 Any other survivors?
00:50:35 None confirmed.
00:50:37 Captain, look at this.
00:50:39 Put it up on screen.
00:50:41 The red dot is her.
00:50:43 She's being pursued?
00:50:45 JD14 is tracking her.
00:50:47 - Captain?
00:50:49 The bio-signature map...
00:50:56 Her bio-signature
00:51:01 How can that be?
00:51:09 They aren't human?
00:51:12 Scan the entire country!
00:51:33 Maria.
00:52:11 What's this?
00:52:23 Let's wait to see
00:53:03 They say everything
00:53:06 Daiwa escaped
00:53:11 Come here.
00:53:13 That's Daiwa out to sea.
00:53:23 It's their fault no people are left.
00:53:29 The Japanese race is extinct.
00:53:33 But you guys...
00:53:36 We're not human any more.
00:53:40 Not human...
00:53:43 Just fragments of humanity.
00:53:53 Fragments?
00:53:55 Fragments that will soon be gone.
00:54:01 You saw it, right? The final step
00:54:15 No red blood left in our veins.
00:54:33 You're saying none of these people
00:54:38 But I'd never seen
00:54:39 anywhere so alive.
00:54:43 Trying to hold on
00:54:45 to their humanity.
00:54:48 Like eating food
00:54:58 10 years ago, just before
00:55:03 an unknown disease spread out
00:55:11 Infection brought a raging fever
00:55:14 with a high mortality rate.
00:55:17 There was no information about
00:55:22 just a mandatory
00:55:28 That was the beginning
00:55:36 The disease
00:55:39 And the vaccination we all received
00:55:42 was a Daiwa cyber-virus.
00:55:51 It invades every cell of the body
00:55:54 converting its molecular structure
00:55:57 so that the human body
00:56:02 What was worse, the virus
00:56:09 Meaning what?
00:56:12 We were a nation of guinea pigs.
00:56:16 Japan was their laboratory.
00:56:22 Finally the brain is overwritten
00:56:25 the person becomes an android
00:56:33 The speed of the process
00:56:37 Some of us still cling
00:56:44 to the fragments of our humanity.
00:56:51 The technology is half-baked,
00:56:53 so most turn into junk.
00:56:57 At best
00:56:59 we become lumps of metal
00:57:02 In either case,
00:57:04 we're miserable specimens
00:57:12 How long do you have?
00:57:17 Daiwa's not done.
00:57:19 The next target is America.
00:57:25 They've already planted
00:57:32 That politician...
00:57:38 My buddy, Saga!
00:58:33 Let; s go!
00:58:53 We call those, "Jags". Failed
00:58:55 experiments
00:58:58 They search around for any kind of
00:59:09 The wasteland's crawling with them.
00:59:13 They throw up some neat stuff
01:00:13 We should get going.
01:00:18 Our base is underground.
01:00:39 Saito, what about that SWORD woman?
01:00:46 We lost her.
01:00:48 Failure's dogging you
01:00:50 since you let that informant
01:00:53 Maria is harboring the girl.
01:01:01 Leave them alone.
01:01:04 SWORD may have penetrated
01:01:08 Even so, America won't do a thing.
01:01:16 Relax, Saito.
01:01:18 Our decade-long experiment
01:01:20 nears fruition, at last.
01:01:23 That group, G32 Beta, in the slums
01:01:28 they alone are perfect specimens.
01:01:34 Maria is a part of that group.
01:01:38 Left alone they'll join us
01:01:40 But, sir...
01:01:43 We need not fear any act of man.
01:02:00 Very well. Summon Itakura,
01:02:28 Hello.
01:02:32 Here.
01:02:34 A fresh piece of junk.
01:02:36 It should contain the part you need.
01:02:39 Thanks, it's just in time.
01:02:43 Where's Maria?
01:02:47 Everyone,
01:03:10 Taro, is it ready?
01:03:12 Darn right it is.
01:03:21 My suit...
01:03:23 I fixed it up and
01:03:33 Looking for this?
01:03:39 - I sent out a beacon signal.
01:03:42 Longer than 3 minutes.
01:03:43 The R.A.C.E. Net's down?
01:03:45 Daiwa already reconfigured
01:03:48 Darn.
01:03:49 SWORD only needs
01:03:57 Another thing, there's one more
01:04:02 Leon?
01:04:03 Yes, Leon Fayden, I believe.
01:04:10 Where exactly is he? Any injuries?
01:04:13 Sorry, that's all I know.
01:04:15 Taro, what's your source?
01:04:17 Daiwa's main stream. It's reliable.
01:04:21 Just Leon, no-one else?
01:04:35 No luck. No bio-signature
01:04:41 I found an additional signature.
01:04:45 There's just one other.
01:04:54 What's wrong?
01:04:55 The electro-magnetic diffusion
01:04:58 Darn.
01:04:59 I'll re-run the analysis.
01:05:11 Have Minerva ready to rescue them.
01:05:17 Captain Borg, a call on the hotline.
01:05:22 The Defense Secretary already?
01:05:26 No... it's the President.
01:05:42 Borg, here.
01:05:44 Yes, Mr. President.
01:05:53 I understand, sir.
01:06:11 We must abort the mission.
01:06:52 Takashi, what on earth's going on?
01:06:55 There's going to be an earthquake.
01:06:57 There is?
01:06:58 Yes, it's our last chance.
01:07:02 We're going to smash Daiwa.
01:07:05 Me, Maria and the guys...
01:07:10 3 freight tunnels connect Daiwa
01:07:17 Only the main one links to the city.
01:07:20 The others connect to the wasteland.
01:07:22 They're all ceramic?
01:07:24 Yes. A mid-size 'quake is forecast
01:07:30 All communication gates are open.
01:07:34 All communication gates are open?
01:07:35 Correct. And we found a weak point.
01:07:39 During the earthquake stand-by,
01:07:41 all tunnel gates
01:07:46 which creates a 50% delay
01:07:50 and the gates sealing in response.
01:07:54 How soon
01:07:57 - 18 seconds.
01:07:59 2,500 meters.
01:08:00 That's pushing it
01:08:03 With our air-buggies, too.
01:08:05 But it's that or nothing.
01:08:08 And after you break in?
01:08:13 We drag this cable behind us.
01:08:21 The Jags.
01:08:28 They finish the job
01:08:31 This is enough metal to lure them
01:08:37 Chairman Itakura's called
01:08:55 - Is that all?
01:09:00 Don't make me repeat myself.
01:09:03 We don't wish to obstruct
01:09:05 those who calmly
01:09:10 But surely you know Daiwa
01:09:13 is planning to take America next?
01:09:19 There's so little time. Excuse me.
01:09:26 You're determined to go?
01:09:33 Suppose Daiwa responds
01:09:40 This is their precious laboratory.
01:09:43 They'd never do that.
01:09:51 In the end
01:09:55 trying to protect the same thing.
01:10:02 It's just that we choose to fight...
01:10:04 until the very moment
01:10:21 As an outsider,
01:10:26 your city seems to celebrate
01:10:37 But Maria...
01:10:40 she fights for
01:10:42 the sake of what's not yet gone.
01:11:47 Foreigners are to be expelled?
01:11:50 What on earth for?
01:11:55 Leon...
01:12:20 Maria, come to America with me.
01:12:27 What do you mean?
01:12:29 Your departure permit is invalid.
01:12:31 Lt. Commander L. Fayden
01:12:35 No such request was filed.
01:12:37 That can't be right.
01:12:40 It comes up negative.
01:12:44 Get out.
01:12:45 What for? Let me call him.
01:12:48 Calls to the airport are forbidden.
01:12:54 I'm going with you.
01:12:57 Let me join your mission.
01:13:01 It's a Japanese domestic matter.
01:13:02 Surely it's gone beyond that?
01:13:06 You're a foreign guest; behave.
01:13:09 Americans never learn...
01:13:13 Leon chose to return here
01:13:24 Maria, please take me into Daiwa.
01:13:33 Keep personal matters out of this.
01:13:39 I know you want to help Leon, too.
01:13:57 Takashi, what's wrong?
01:14:01 Takashi, hold on.
01:14:05 Takashi!
01:14:08 Takashi!
01:14:13 Takashi!
01:14:49 Takashi!
01:14:55 Takashi!
01:15:00 Call yourself human?
01:15:31 This is our rule.
01:15:34 Otherwise our plan would
01:17:06 Vexille.
01:17:10 We need someone to replace Takashi.
01:17:28 Once in the tunnel, floor it
01:17:32 Take a mid-line to reduce distance.
01:17:37 Touch the brakes and it's all over.
01:17:42 I'll lead Team Red
01:17:46 Saga takes Team Black to the West.
01:17:53 We've never fielded this many units
01:17:57 so we don't know how many Jags
01:18:00 Even if you're the only one left,
01:18:05 We just need one cable
01:18:11 Though we are no more
01:18:15 we are still human.
01:18:19 As long as we have our pride
01:19:37 Maria,
01:19:38 more Jags than we thought, huh?
01:19:41 Murata.
01:19:43 I'll double back and
01:20:07 Team Black to Red.
01:20:08 Red here.
01:20:15 Almost to the target gate.
01:20:19 Roger.
01:20:20 They're after you!
01:20:35 Murata!
01:21:01 We're through the gate.
01:21:22 Leave it to me.
01:21:50 2nd gate cleared!
01:22:32 3rd gate cleared
01:22:47 Maria, we lured them away
01:22:49 Make another approach.
01:22:52 Roger.
01:23:06 The Jags are on the cable already.
01:23:43 Maria!
01:24:16 Vexille.
01:25:29 One left.
01:25:43 Maria.
01:27:13 How come...
01:27:24 Bravo.
01:27:28 I guess you didn't expect the tunnel
01:27:36 What a same.
01:27:38 Jags can't jump that far.
01:27:44 Chairman Itakura
01:28:49 Leon!
01:28:52 Nice to see you again, Maria.
01:29:01 We're friends from our student days.
01:29:07 The 10 years haven't changed you.
01:29:11 As beautiful
01:29:17 Mr. Kisaragi...
01:29:25 Nobody move. You're in breach of
01:29:28 Nobody move...
01:29:36 Maria...
01:29:38 I warned you in vain.
01:29:52 The irony of fate.
01:29:55 Hardly imagined I'd see you again.
01:30:00 I can't let you do that!
01:30:19 "Insufficient evidence"?
01:30:22 We're public servants with no chance
01:30:28 It's not just breach of a treaty;
01:30:30 their research
01:30:34 They were released this morning.
01:30:45 We are the peak of human evolution.
01:30:49 In fact human existence is nothing.
01:30:51 But a preparatory stage
01:30:56 There's nothing evolved about you.
01:31:11 This body, born of humankind
01:31:16 Matchless in level of intellect
01:31:21 No need for sleep nor food.
01:31:25 Above all, we shall attain
01:31:31 What more could be asked?
01:31:37 You will join me in immortality
01:31:45 Only the few
01:31:48 and be reborn as Japanese...
01:31:54 I have done the work of god.
01:31:58 Maybe I was god all along.
01:32:07 He's insane.
01:32:17 But on the eve of completion,
01:32:19 Japan is empty of
01:32:24 But your country abounds in them.
01:32:28 Healthy subjects
01:33:05 Nothing divine about you...
01:33:08 Just another flawed human.
01:33:18 I had to protect myself for
01:33:23 Of course I would have the injection
01:33:29 Such suffering
01:33:31 for this sicko...
01:33:32 My research brought you
01:33:37 Androids can't act compulsively.
01:33:41 It doesn't make sense...
01:33:46 Halt, Saito. Stop it, please.
01:34:05 The city gates are opening
01:34:20 You have the citizens' full support.
01:34:27 This is Chairman Itakura.
01:34:32 The Council and I were misguided
01:34:38 Now, thanks to your brave resolution
01:34:43 we can make amends for our mistake.
01:34:54 Thank you all very much.
01:34:57 Chairman Itakura...
01:35:35 Detach the central tunnel
01:35:38 A transporter is en route.
01:35:42 Do not let it arrive.
01:35:48 Don't let it in!
01:36:05 Darn.
01:36:13 Piece of junk.
01:36:26 As long as I have my research
01:36:30 the world can still be mine.
01:36:44 The Jags will be here soon.
01:37:39 I'll get him, you look after Leon.
01:37:41 No, I'll go after him...
01:37:44 Not with that leg, you won't.
01:37:50 Look after Leon for me.
01:40:18 Maria...
01:40:21 Why didn't you come to the airport?
01:40:47 I hate machines
01:40:49 but humans like you
01:41:00 Vexille!
01:41:27 Vexille.
01:41:30 Where's Maria?
01:41:56 Stay back, you heap of junk!
01:42:00 The Jags will get you soon.
01:42:03 Maria.
01:42:08 Maria, run!
01:42:11 Now we'll be together forever.
01:42:46 Maria!
01:44:57 Jags across Japan came
01:45:02 then sank deep beneath the sea.
01:45:08 Maria and her kind died off.
01:45:13 But they left us something vital
01:45:21 It was Maria that taught us
01:45:25 as long as we communicate hope
01:45:29 we ourselves gain eternal existence.
