Love City (1986)
1
In the whispers of the wind, I can hear it so clearly. The voice which seems to call out to me. When I can finally fly into your arms... ...the Milky Way becomes a lover's sea for us to sail. And if you truly believe in me... ...you won't know the word "impossible." Call my name, and a miracle occurs. Hold me tight, and find the courage. A burning message straight from the cosmos to you! Call my name, and we'll be together again. Hold me tight, and we're in Ai City! It's the key to all the secrets we share. AI CITY OCR by Inactive (Fansubs.ru) Damn it, they're still behind us! What the hell's goin' on?! Hey kid, this isn't some senior bike tour we're on! Lose these punks! My code name is "K." And they aren't just ordinary punks. Huh? Everything today is a bargain sale of imitations. That's why they're after something real. "Real?" What do you mean, "real"? Someone like me. Just call me "Ai", Uncle Raiden. Who are you callin' Uncle? And how do you know my name?! They have no regard for human life. Fraud... The biggest fakes of all. Here they come! Shit! Don't let them escape! Cut them off! Kill the young guy and the one with the moustache... ...but I want the girl alive! Can't have too many heads in these situations... Damn it, don't play tricks like some kid! Just drive! What the hell's goin' on?! Somebody explain this to me! We could, but you wouldn't understand. And how do you know that until you try? Or maybe you can't explain this. What do we do. Papa? "Papa"?! Jesus, all you kids think about today is sex and cars! How old were you when you got her? There are things in this world you wouldn't believe. Or rather, that you wouldn't want to believe. Oh, quit makin' like a kid philosopher! Am I? Raiden Yoshioka. Age: 34. Ex-cop. Fired for disobeying your superiors by investigating Fraud. Forced to become a private investigator. Current number of clients: zero. C'mon, how do you know all that stuff about me? I told you, there're things in this world you wouldn't want to believe. Do you understand now? Nope, sorry. Not a thing. What happened?! Nothing. Guess I've had too much drink. K2! Let us go! A traitor's fate can only be death! I'm not going to lose Ai again! I've had enough of Fraud using us! Oh well, then. K, prepare to die! Papa! Ai! Teleported?! Impossible! That's beyond a quasi-ESPer's abilities. And certainly beyond those of a low-level Headmeter like him! Damned level-5 defect! How dare you... How dare you try and kill us! Impossible... Damn you! How are they...?! Papa! Ai. Papa! It's all right now. I'm here. The city... The city's ripped open! Phase Dimensional Barrier breached. Point 1-2-0-0. Communication with K2 lost while... ...in pursuit of escaping Headmeters "K" and "I". - They got K2! - Definitely nailed her. Kei and At mus've done it! Ai really must be the legendary "Trigger"... ...if she was able to take out a Headmeter as strong as K2! Silence, Humanoid! Restabilize the Barrier at once! Mr. Lee! Mr. Lee, K2 was in pursuit of Ai when-- I know! The Trigger is just supposed to be a legend. But we thought that even our... ...highest-level Headmeters couldn't breach that barrier. We thought! What is all this? What's that big hole doing here?! How should I know? Because you people did it! You guys from Fraud, with the numbers on your heads! We were running way from them! Oh, come off it! I know a little about them! Let's leave the explanations for later. We'd better go before someone spots us. Right! Hold on here! Where're we going?! Help me... Help me... Help me... Cut it out! Stop it! Don't kill me! Thanks, Old Man. No problem... Uh, who am I? I can't remember anything. Do you know who I am? What the hell is...? Maybe the shock gave her amnesia. Amnesia? I dunno. Stay alert! Uh, not to say I'm not enjoying this... ...but would you please get up before I pitch a tent? You're cute. Okay. I'll get off you. Right. I think she's okay, Ai. - What's wrong, Old Man? - Nothing at all! Look, it's going back to normal. Phase Dimensional Barrier repaired. I guess even Mr. Lee can make a mistake. He's just jumpy because of Lai Lo Ching. Silence! Mr. Lee! Stupid talking doll... J! Go out and bring me Ai before it's too late! Yes. sir! Outfit yourself with a Hard Power Supporter. Also... Also? Take two Tuned Men as well. Good evening, Mr. Lee. Something wrong. Mr. Lee? Would you like a drink? Beautiful... This city is mine. I want no one else to touch it. Least of all some biotechnological monster! Would you like a drink, Mr. Lee? Silence! Mr. Lee... As mighty as ever, eh Lee? I helped myself to a drink earlier, Ku Ragua Lee. Lai Lo Ching! Damn you, how long have you been in here?! I asked if you wanted a drink because Mr. Lai was here... I'm tired. Leave me alone. You don't mean me, do you? But I haven't finished this wonderful drink yet! Look Lee, the time when you could be the boss on this floor is over. It's time I took up the reins. The assistant dares to order the master now? You obviously don't realize that I'm not the man I used to be. Cease your petty tricks, Lai Lo Ching! Mr. Lee... Don't assume your psychokinesis can beat me! Damn you! Your headmeter is that strong?! As I said, I'm not the man you once knew. Prepare for the catastrophe, Lee! - "Catastrophe"?! - Mr. Lee! Mr. Lee's been on edge ever since K ran away with Ai. He's never let me away from him before. I'm Tuned Man "E", sir. And I am Tuned Man Rian. We're to accompany you. Let's go! And my headmeter never got above 5... ...so they called me "Defect K" and treated me like a slave. So you were part of Fraud, right? Is a lab rat part of the laboratory staff? A defective lab rat, at that! You're not defective, Papa! Ai, you must be hungry. Why don't I make us something? I'll do it! Hey mister, where's your kitchen? Kitchen? Dunno about a kitchen... ...but I've got a fridge behind that door there. Come on. I'll make something for you, too. I'd better get Miss Headmeter here something to wear. Oh, one more thing. Is the kid and that fat cat from Fraud, too? What? Her code name was "I," and she was definitely a clone of... ...my girlfriend who had died in that bio-tech experiment. Ai didn't know anything about it. So I decided I'd be a father for her. Jesus, that's some story. Dunno if I believe it or not. But I know how tough it is to lose a girl you love. Where's my...? Don't wake up, Miss Headmeter... Whoa, whoa, whoa! Don't look at me like that! You're great, but a little quick. Don't tease grown-ups! Jeez, lay off the alcohol before you wreck your body. Listen kid, the difference between a cop and a P.I.... ...is that the P.I. gets to drink on the job! Anyway, we'll know your story's true... ...if you see your girl again in ten years. What's up, guys? I couldn't find any food anywhere! That's 'cause I'm a P.I. who's too busy to eat in his office! Papa! K, I know you're in there! Surrender At to us quietly! MORE weirdos to deal with! K2! You've turned against us as well?! Hey kid! What do we do? Don't worry. I'll buy you some time. Take Ai and K2 and get out of here fast! You're gonna fight them? Ai... Papa, don't go! I made up my mind a long time ago. That I... That Papa would always protect you! Papa... I'd better warn you two. K received special tuning in addition to his headmeter. He's been bio-control augmented at 108 points on his body... ...and may be very powerful if he's cornered. 108 places... The number of earthly desires in a man... Let's go! Take care of him, E! What happened to all that spirit? It's too early to go to bed. You're stronger than I expected. Atta boy! Hollywood's waiting for you! You're cute, kid! I'll take care of you if you get beat! We're quite a show. aren't we? Oh yes, I can just smell it! Lee's got something cooking with that little girl. Just to be sure, I'd better get her under my control. No time for playing! Finish him! Understood, Mr. J. You'll be out for the next four or five days. Now, just come home with me... No, YOU go home, you creep! I can't let you have these girls. There's still a lot of questions I want answered. Old Man! You should be more careful playing with guns, "Old Man"! Point that at me again, and I'll rip you apart cell by cell! Rian! - Ai! - Rian! RIAN! Damn you...! I don't care anymore! I'll kill Kei AND Ai! I won't let you kill him! I see... K2 did it. Traitor! Thanks, Miss Headmeter. Wait, you're... J! E! RIAN! I killed Rian?! K2! You've got your memories back?! Old Man... If you're gonna talk, then start saying your prayers! E, wait! Forget about Rian! We're here to take Ai back with us! But Mr. J...! Do as I say! No! I'm not going back! Shut up! Ai! Papa! - What the devil...?! - Mr, J! Are you all right? Mr. J, you saved me. But these monsters...! Sorry boys. Just tell Lee that Lai Lo Ching has his girl. Lai Lo Ching?! Damn you! Bastard! You won't get away with this! Mr. J! Shit... What?! We've lost contact with J?! Has HE been killed as well? Two of our highest-level Headmeters? I wouldn't think someone like J would be killed so easily. But there's no contact. He has two Tuned Men... You're telling me THEY couldn't beat a defect like K? Not to be presumptuous, sir, but Lai Lo Ching may be behind this. Lai Lo Ching?! Are you certain of this? 83% certain, sir. All right... Put the Diver mobile air trooper on standby! Yes, sir! Lai Lo Ching... Is it me you're after? Or the Trigger itself? Papa! Ai! Hey! Over here! Hop on! - What's this? - My second car! Kinda young for you, isn't it? Don't go so fast! It's just a scooter! There they are! Almost there! All right! We did it! Couldn't even touch us! Right... Papa! Save me! I don't want to go back! Ai! I'll take it from here, Old Man! All right! Ai, it's all right. I'll save you. - Papa! - Kei... I see... You're "Defect K", aren't you? Lemme let you in on something interesting. What? This girl is a monster, created by Fraud's cloning project Ai's power could destroy this world. That's why they're so desperate to get her back! That's insane! Ai could never destroy the world! You're the monster here! Lee knows he isn't as powerful as she is. We can do everyone a favor by killing before she grows into... ...the monster she must become! Papa! Kill her! Kill Ai! Yes, kill her! Kill her! - Kei! - No! Papa, believe me! I'm not a monster! Kill her! Kill her now! I'm not a monster! Papa! Kei, don't! I'm...not...a...monster...! Kei! Kei! Yes! Crush the life from her! Damn! My Burberry! It's my coat, all right. That must mean...! Fool... Even a Headmeter couldn't survive a fall that far. Can you be sure? What if she really is the Trigger? We must be absolutely certain about this! But, how...? Crush the city, along with Ai and Kei! Crush the Trigger to oblivion! My hand...! My hand...! Stop it! Stop! STOP IT!!! That's done it. Even the Trigger couldn't survive that. I dunno exactly what happened, but it was pretty god damned major! They're all gone. She may have tried to kill me at first... ...but she ended up saving my life. She really was good at heart. What a waste. There, there... You're also sorry we lost her, huh? To he honest, that gal really was my type. Well, too late to tell her now. Did you mean what you said? Did you really love K2? ANSWER ME! Yes, I did! Have mercy on me! Old Man, you said it! You feel the same way I do! Don't scare me like that! Makin' like the Wizard of Oz... You're so cute! Damn... Can't move my legs. Damn that Lai Lo Ching! Are you all right, Mr. J? Yeah, I think so. I feel about as useful as a flipped-over turtle. The Diver... Our new mobile air trooper! Mr. Lee! Mr. Lee, forgive us! Next time, we'll get Kei for sure! Well done, sir! My legs work again. Let's go! All set! Well? Don't I look great? Not much off a difference from before, actually. With some long ears, you'd make a real cute bunny girl. Nice! You look great! Fer Christ's sake! You two've got the weirdest tastes! Well, let's get going. And keep the change. Okay, now that we've got our new clothes, it's time to talk. About what? You've got your memories back, right? Well then, thanks for saving my life, but now that your... ...memory's back, we'll have to break off this partnership. You won't have to use that. I can't go back to Fraud now. Not after I've killed Rian Mr. Lee has no mercy for traitors. I'm as good a dead to him. Sorry! Sorry! It's this job, I guess. I just have to investigate any loose ends, you know? Can you forgive me? - It's him! - Kei! Ai! I killed her... You tried everything to save her. No, I killed her. Just like I killed her last time. You were under Lai Lo Ching's mind control. It wasn't your fault. Kei... So, who was the freak in the glass capsule? Lai Lo Ching, a scientist assistant to Mr. Lee. He started acting strangely all of a sudden and turned against Mr. Lee. Is this "Lee" guy the Fraud boss? Yeah. The man responsible for everything that's happened to us. But Kei, Lai Lo Ching is after something worse than what Lee wants. He's hatching some sort of a plot. And I think Ai was the key to this battle between Lee and Lai. Poor thing... She was just a little girl who didn't understand any of this. Why couldn't I...?! I know how he feels. Old Man... I figured out Fraud was behind the scenes while I was on a case. But as soon as I started checking up on them, I got canned. My wife left me after that. And so I swore I'd become a P.I. and expose Fraud to the world. But as the days passed, with just affairs and divorces to investigate... Well, Kei isn't the only incomplete specimen here. The high road looks pretty low after a while. Stuff gets left undone... Maybe it's just the way I am. He's younger than me, but life's weighing him down plenty hard, too. She's still alive! Papa... Papa... I'm not a monster... Ai! Let's get her to a hospital! Right! Ai! I know what to do, Mr. J. Outta my way! Mr. J...! Mr. J! MR. J!!! Rian was your friend, wasn't he? I had to kill him. I'm sorry... You're lucky, pal. If I wasn't in love with the Old Man, you'd be scrap by now. When I soar in the sky... ...I hate being alone. It's too much to bear. Racing speed and light, I board the star train to follow... As long as you are there. I think I'll always be happy... ...so deeply are our hearts locked together... Blood PHD: normal. Alpha DNA separation, Beta, Gamma, DNA: fixed. Anti clone-type hybrid organizer, standing by. Any later and we might have lost her, Mr. Lee. Damn you, Lai Lo Ching. You almost won. All right! Begin reorganization! Reorg activated. Now what? Defect K?! You've gotten this far? Admirable, but I've no time to waste on you. Continue the reorganization! Awaken... Quickly, now! Awaken as the legendary Trigger! Damn! Kei! No effect! Papa! I... I'm not a monster! I was tricked. Forgive me. Now, come to me, Ai! Lend me your power. Papa... Papa... PAPA! Ai! Papa! Ai! Papa! You're all right now. Papa's saved you. Now then, Ai. Won't you lend me your power? Okay, Papa. Reorganization complete. Well done, Mr. Lee. You have control right down to her subconscious. The hell with you! What?! The defect again?! Ai! Are you okay? Come on! Let's get out of here! Who are you? Papa, I'm scared. Who is that man? You son of a...! What have you done to her?! I owe no explanations to a defect like you! Leave now, and I will spare your lives! Damn you...! Ai, I'm your Papa! I've come to save you! Let's get out of here! No! You aren't my Papa! He's right here! - Ai! - What's goin' on? Ai! Kei! Thanks, but from this point I won't need your help anymore. But it's too much...! I don't care. Because I understand now. You can't just fight to escape all the time. I won't run anymore. By God, I'm going to save her or die trying! What? Pass... Password? Don't be a fool! You want to throw your life away? If that's what you want, I can oblige you any time! Try what you may, but Ai isn't the girl you knew! You're wasting your time! Password? I don't know what you mean! I don't know! I don't know the password! The password... The password...! The password is... AI CITY! The Anti-Biopollution: Ai City. Life is the most marvelous of things. These four nucleotides can store more information... ...than the memory bank of a supercomputer. Using its quadrary coding system... ...DMA may well be able to record experiences... ...as well as biostructure across the generations Look here. As this clone alloy cell devours genetic-encoded biostructure... ...it also absorbs the genetic data within the Alpha clone cell. Gentlemen, we may well have entered the realm of God! May I have a look at It, to get it on tape? Right. Get a good recording of it. Still... I wonder what the world would think of us... ...if it knew what we were doing here. When they don't know, we're angels. When they do, we're devils. That's how people all see scientists. Don't bring a lab animal in here! This is a Triple-A room, remember? Right, right... Huh? That's strange. Biopollution! He's contaminated! The accidental discovery of the Genetic Alloy during an... ...unrestricted cloning process made biopollution a reality. Artificial evolution of, by, and for the genes themselves! Natural evolution and history collapsed... ...as random hybridization became impossible. Everything became a fake civilization of imitations. We have to encode the original biodata for humanity... ...into a woman's cells before it's too late! When chaos and confusion reign, a long time from now, she will... ...act as a trigger to reactivate the human biodata memory cells. A living Anti-Biopollution program. And the password will be... Ai City! More! I want more DNA! More DNA! Papa! PAPA! Ai! Ai... It would appear that I was the defective one. Forgive me. Forgive me for everything I've done. Mr. Lee is actually apologizing to someone?! Apparently we've been fighting the same enemy... ...across God knows how many done generations. Hearing the password awakened the memory cells within me. Again. I'm sorry for everything. He apologized! What'd you do that for?! But, Papa didn't do that! He didn't cause the explosion. Really! It wasn't me! The password's "Ai City", huh? So that's the ticket. Lai Lo Ching! It's been quite a show, Lee. But now you've shown your hand. That pretty face fooled me. I assumed the Trigger was just some legendary hero. Who'd have thought it was a living bioprogram? Very well! I'll have to study your body, down to the very last molecule. The hell you will, you pervert! Well, now to take care of the redundant players. Are you ready, Lee? What's your game, Lai Lo Ching? Did you become my assistant only so that... ...you could replace me as the leader of Fraud? With that disgusting ambition of yours... ...you'll never be able to protect mankind from the biopollution! Protect mankind from the biopollution? You can make yourselves clones and Headmeters... ...but humans remain as selfish as ever! I told you I wasn't the man I used to be! What do you know of biopollution? Allow me to demonstrate! Old Man! Lai Lo Ching! That isn't Lai Lo Ching! It's the Genetic Alloy! So, you've revealed yourself, Alloy! You think evolution can be brought back to what it was... ...after being so polluted? Fools! You think that can stop me? Mr. Lee! K2! Stop! One move and I crush her! A young woman's body... The feeling is indescribable! It'd be a shame to have to crush it. K2! Damn...! Why you...! Her cells are so fresh and full of life! E! K2! We're even now, K2. Thank you. Yeah, even. I want more DNA! Mr. Lee! I want DNA... More DNA! Mr. Lee! Shoot me! He'll eat the DNA of every living thing on earth! You have to shoot us both! Shoot you...? Mr. Lee! Shoot! - E! - Shoot it! Shoot it! My hand! My hand...! E! - Shoot! - K2! K2... Old Man... I...! It's all right, K2. It wasn't your fault. Foolish humans! Devils who broke the laws of natural evolution! You dare think that you are the pinnacle of existence?! Before the Genetic Alloy, you are mere animals! Now see! - What the hell?! - The Phase Dimensional Barrier! Maybe it's a computer error? NO!!! Papa, I'm scared. Don't be. I'm here with you. You see? An ideal world is being born. A world of only genes, who have supported evolution all along! Evolution taken to its ultimate level! You insignificant scum shall perish... ...in an apocalypse of your own making! K2! - Old Man! - Are you okay? Kei! Ai! How long can you hold out? Damn you! All right... Take care of Ai! Papa! - Papa! - Ai! Papa! Ai! Get back! Stay back! Papa... Alloy, don't kill him! What? You would have me spare this scum? Yes! Kill me if you want, but spare him! Don't be stupid! Get out of here! Ai! Why? Your genetic configuration shows that you are like me. That you are superior to the humans! Why then do you want to save these vermin? Papa and the others aren't vermin! Don't kill them! Don't you know what they are? They're human! Devils who broke the laws of evolution! I don't believe that. It's a lie! You think it's a lie? Then listen to your own genes... Ai! Get out of here! Ai! Papa! You see? That is the true form of man. The true form of those you would lay down your life for! No... It's not true! A lie may be beautiful, and the truth just as ugly. But I, Alloy, have no reason to lie. Not true... Now, be reborn. Return to the genes... Not...true... Return to the source of all life. To the birthplace of all genes... It's...not..true... Where am I? Return to the sea. And there begin a new world for all genes. The sea? This is the sea? It feels so familiar. Familiar... So familiar... What is that? What? That's... My hat! NO!!! Ai! PAPA! Ai! Papa! PAPA! Ai! NO!!! Ai! Papa! Ai! What... What have you done?! What's happening? The Genetic Alloy is consuming itself. Consuming itself? Self-cannibalization... The ultimate form of evolution?! No... It's impossible! How can...this be? Alloy...is immortal! You fell into the same trap. Made the same mistake as the humans you so despise. You thought yourself to be the ultimate form of existence. But there is no such thing! If I made the same mistake, then why must I alone be destroyed? Why must the source of the mistake survive... ...while the Genetic Alloy is destroyed? WHY?! - Safe by a hair! - Thanks, kid. Let's go, kitty! So, now what'll you do? Haven't thought about it. You? Probably go back to investigating affairs. Papa? Yes, Ai? Are humans really monsters? Are we really devils? Dunno. Maybe we are. But I think that's something for God to decide, in a thousand years. A thousand years? Yeah, right. Papa, you're the best! Wanna go to the beach again? Yeah! Let's go! Hey, do you think we're really devils? I'll be your little devil. You're wonderful, Old Man. So are you, Miss Haadmeter. Really? So why don't you make love to me tonight? Hey, you hear that, kid? We're gonna have a nice little hard core... Huh? What the? They're gone! Oh, making if easy for us, huh? You fox! Wha...? Honey? Bunny girl? Come out, don't be shy. Don't make fun of the old guy, please! "Make love to me." Yeah, right! Everything today is a bargain sale of imitations. That's why they're after something real. God damn it! What the hells goin' on?! In the whispers of the wind, I can hear it so clearly. The voice which seems to call out to me. When I can finally fly into your arms... ...the Milky Way becomes a lover's sea for us to sail. And if you truly believe in me... ...you won't know the word "impossible." Call my name, and a miracle occurs. Hold me tight, and find the courage. A burning message straight from the cosmos to you! Call my name, and we'll be together again. Hold me tight, and we're in Ai City! It's the key to all the secrets we share. In the depths of your eyes, we speak of our love. Sharing a password instead of a kiss. Your dream is like blue fire... ...burning away like a shooting star. And when you're lost in a maze, looking for the way out... Just stop and think about me! Call my name, with just a whisper. Hold me tight, in your heart. 'Cause I know our love is always telepathy. Call my name, like a magic spell. Hold me tight, and we're in Ai City. It's the key to the future for you and me! Call my name, and a miracle occurs. Hold me tight, and find the courage. A burning message straight from the cosmos to you! Call my name, and we'll be together again. Hold me tight, and we're in Ai City! It's the key to all the secrets we share. |
