"Namsac"
[00:31] ---
"Episode 5"
[00:39] ---
Amazing.
[00:45] ---
Hey, pay attention.
[00:46] ---
Watch where you're goin'.
[00:47] ---
Oh, I'm sorry.
[00:51] ---
C'mere.
[00:52] ---
U-Um, um...!
[00:54] ---
Somebody!
[00:57] ---
I-I'm sorry for bumping into you.
But that was beyond my control.
[01:00] ---
L-Let's be calm about--
[01:03] ---
Shut up! If you cause trouble for someone,
the thing to do is pay up.
[01:08] ---
M-Money? Well... I don't have much on me.
[01:11] ---
Then I'll take that camera. And the watch.
[01:14] ---
N-Not the camera! I need it for my job!
[01:16] ---
As if I care!
[01:19] ---
C-Come on! Please!
[01:21] ---
Leave him alone, Dao.
[01:24] ---
What're you doing to the tourist?
[01:26] ---
Nami, huh?
[01:28] ---
This city's reputation will get worse and worse.
[01:31] ---
So what if it does?! Get lost!
[01:34] ---
You just don't listen to reason.
[01:37] ---
Hey, seriously?
[01:38] ---
I won't kill you. I'll let you off
with some holes in your limbs.
[01:43] ---
You're gonna stick up for
this stranger and shoot me?!
[01:46] ---
That's not all. I'll tell the
Mama-san at Molina about this.
[01:50] ---
You don't want to get banned
from that joint, do you?
[01:55] ---
There, that's more like it.
[01:57] ---
You better be ready later!
[01:59] ---
You mean the match? Bring it on!
[02:05] ---
That worked out somehow.
[02:06] ---
Th-Thank you.
[02:08] ---
But that...
[02:10] ---
Oh, this gun?
[02:12] ---
It's broken.
[02:15] ---
What's the big idea?!
[02:16] ---
Did I scare you?
[02:17] ---
Of course you did! I mean,
I'm grateful you helped me...
[02:26] ---
And for that, you owe me $5,000.
[02:31] ---
--Pay up.
--Huh?!
[02:35] ---
That's cheap, right?
[02:37] ---
That guy Dao back there
is famous for his brutality!
[02:41] ---
If you had tried anything,
you could have wound up dead.
[02:44] ---
Is that so?
[02:45] ---
Be grateful for my kindness!
[02:47] ---
Then while you're being kind,
I'd like you to leave me alone.
[02:51] ---
I can't do that. I felt like
I was in danger, too! And so--
[02:54] ---
And so, $5,000?
[02:56] ---
In this city, you could live in luxury
for a year with that amount.
[02:59] ---
Of course I don't have that much money.
[03:01] ---
Then let me have this camera.
[03:03] ---
Get real! I need this for my job.
[03:05] ---
For your job? So what is your job, anyway?
[03:11] ---
I'm a struggling photographer.
[03:13] ---
A photographer!
[03:14] ---
Wh-What gives?
[03:15] ---
Then you must be here to cover that, too.
[03:51] ---
The winner! Bloody Queen!
[03:59] ---
Dear me, that's violent.
[04:01] ---
But it packs a real punch, huh?
[04:03] ---
I guess.
[04:04] ---
We take ASes that were
decommissioned after conflicts ended,
[04:07] ---
and people bet on them
in pro wrestling matches.
[04:09] ---
It's become big business in this city.
[04:11] ---
Those robots... ASes, you said?
[04:14] ---
I'm surprised the police allow it.
Aren't those military weapons?
[04:18] ---
It all comes down to money in this town.
[04:20] ---
Makes sense. Looks like
business is booming, too.
[04:24] ---
See? If you get the scoop on this,
you're guaranteed a Peanut Prize!
[04:29] ---
So come on, $5,000.
[04:32] ---
I told you, no way.
Also, it's called a Pulitzer Prize.
[04:35] ---
It's the only place like this in the world!
[04:37] ---
There are so many different ASes here.
[04:39] ---
Savages, Bushnells,
and Mistrals, and also Cyclones!
[04:43] ---
Y-You really know this stuff.
[04:45] ---
Well, yeah! I'm the owner of
one of the competing teams.
[04:50] ---
I have a first-rate AS and a team.
[05:00] ---
Good for you.
[05:01] ---
What's with that reaction?
I bet you don't believe me!
[05:04] ---
You bet right. There's no way
a girl who tries to get money
[05:08] ---
out of a guy like me on a street
corner has a robot like that.
[05:11] ---
I do so have one! I need money for parts!
[05:15] ---
Also, two hours.
[05:16] ---
Huh?
[05:17] ---
Come with me!
[05:26] ---
Well? High-quality, huh!
[05:29] ---
This... is high-quality?
[05:33] ---
Shit!
[05:33] ---
Riley! What're you doing?!
[05:36] ---
I can't help it!
I'm a heavy machinery mechanic!
[05:39] ---
Oil pressure is oil pressure, right?
Figure something out.
[05:42] ---
Wonderful...
[05:43] ---
It's awful.
[05:45] ---
Sure, it's broken here and there,
[05:47] ---
but it'll be fine once we buy some parts.
[05:49] ---
That just leaves money!
[05:51] ---
Hey, Nami!
[05:52] ---
What, Asch?
[05:54] ---
Sure enough, we need
two #50 muscle packages
[05:56] ---
and an intervertebral disk damper.
How's the money situation?
[06:00] ---
It's all right.
[06:01] ---
Um... Come to think of it,
what's your name?
[06:03] ---
Lemon.
[06:04] ---
Mr. Lemon here is going to cover it.
[06:07] ---
Hey!
[06:07] ---
Cool. Well the sooner the better.
[06:09] ---
Don't say that! It's not as if I agreed...
[06:12] ---
Just make it a loan! Please!
[06:15] ---
If we win tonight's match,
I can pay you back $5,000 in no time!
[06:19] ---
With this heap? Impossible.
[06:21] ---
S-Sure, the mech's not perfect,
but the operator's top-notch!
[06:26] ---
--Oh?
--His name is Rick.
[06:28] ---
They call him the Jungle Warbird.
[06:30] ---
He's a former US Marine Corps ace--
[06:32] ---
a big-time veteran who's crushed
more than ten opponents!
[06:36] ---
--I have my doubts.
--You'll see once you meet him.
[06:38] ---
Wait, where is Rick?
[06:40] ---
Got me. Not too long ago,
he was getting himself dead drunk.
[06:46] ---
Nami, there's trouble!
[06:47] ---
Kaew, what's wrong?
[06:52] ---
It's Rick...
[07:02] ---
Rick was a horrible guy in lots of ways,
[07:05] ---
but he didn't deserve to be murdered.
[07:10] ---
Where are you going?
[07:11] ---
We've got a match.
[07:13] ---
But wasn't he your operator?
[07:15] ---
That's right. I'll do it instead.
[07:18] ---
Do you have any experience?
[07:19] ---
I can move it around, at least.
[07:21] ---
Hey, Nami!
[07:24] ---
I heard Rick got stabbed to death.
[07:28] ---
Rough town, this! Scary, scary.
[07:32] ---
Dao!
[07:33] ---
I told you, you better be ready.
[07:37] ---
I never could stand that American.
[07:40] ---
Always braggin' his head off.
[07:43] ---
You low-life creep!
[07:45] ---
Well, wasn't it his everyday
behavior that's to blame?
[07:52] ---
Hey. Don't tell me you're going up against...
[07:55] ---
That's right. Dao's team.
They have a pretty good mech, too.
[07:59] ---
Let it go. That guy's not right!
I bet you'll get killed, too!
[08:02] ---
I can't do that!
[08:08] ---
We've got to win and
make some money. We have to win!
[08:12] ---
Otherwise...
[08:15] ---
Hey!
[08:16] ---
Sorry to bother you, Mr. Lemon.
I don't need the $5,000 anymore.
[08:21] ---
Hold on now. You must be getting desperate.
[08:23] ---
--Maybe.
--This is crazy.
[08:25] ---
I'm fully aware of that.
[08:29] ---
Well?
[08:31] ---
Lovely...
[08:33] ---
We're boxed in...
[08:35] ---
Is Rick here?
[08:39] ---
What?
[08:41] ---
Rick.
[08:42] ---
He's an old acquaintance.
[08:46] ---
He died. Just now.
[08:48] ---
He got stabbed from behind.
[08:51] ---
I see. I would always get on
his case about watching his back.
[08:56] ---
That's too bad.
[08:57] ---
Um, who are you?
[08:59] ---
A war buddy of his. We fought
together about three years ago.
[09:04] ---
I came because I heard
he'd become a competitor here.
[09:06] ---
Too bad for you. Like I said,
he's dead. Now take a hike.
[09:10] ---
I hope to be a competitor, too.
[09:12] ---
Huh?
[09:13] ---
I want to be a competitor in this arena.
[09:15] ---
I feel bad for Rick,
but the timing works out well.
[09:18] ---
Would you be willing to hire me?
[09:20] ---
You? You can operate an AS?
[09:24] ---
A little.
[09:25] ---
"A little."
[09:27] ---
Idiots like you are a dime a dozen.
[09:30] ---
This here is specialized
military equipment.
[09:33] ---
It's not something some
ordinary guy can handle.
[09:36] ---
You got that? If so, then get lost.
[09:39] ---
Are you listening?!
[09:41] ---
Hey, don't touch that!
[09:43] ---
I'm telling you to stop!
[09:45] ---
You're going to enter this mech in a match?
[09:47] ---
Yeah, so what?
[09:49] ---
It's just that it won't be easy.
[09:51] ---
Rick would have had trouble,
with his skills.
[09:53] ---
Okay, Mister Expert,
what do you know about this mech?
[09:57] ---
This mech?
[09:59] ---
This is an early RK-91.
[10:03] ---
It doesn't use a gas turbine,
[10:05] ---
so it's inferior both in terms of
weight and output to the 92,
[10:07] ---
which subsequently
became the standard.
[10:09] ---
But that only applies to
the extreme limits of combat mobility.
[10:13] ---
The torque control has some quirks,
[10:15] ---
but an operator's skill
can compensate for those.
[10:19] ---
In this mech's case,
the problem is the cooling system.
[10:22] ---
From what I can see,
you're using the genuine model.
[10:26] ---
Don't bother.
[10:27] ---
It's often said easy-to-obtain
exported cooler units
[10:29] ---
aren't very compatible,
but there's no problem using one
[10:31] ---
for just ten minutes,
and it's far less expensive.
[10:34] ---
It'd be better to instead spend
that money on new muscle packages.
[10:38] ---
Don't talk like a know-it-all.
This mech is precious to us!
[10:43] ---
Of course. You've worked hard to maintain it.
[10:46] ---
It's the first model I ever used.
[10:49] ---
I'm surprised to find one
that's still functional.
[10:54] ---
That's BS. You're probably some
amateur who memorized all that.
[10:58] ---
I'm not an amateur. I'm a specialist.
[11:03] ---
Hey, Nami. What do we do?
[11:06] ---
We're out of time.
Maybe we should just let him try it.
[11:18] ---
Why not?! There's no better option!
[11:21] ---
If you want to do it, do it!
[11:24] ---
Fair enough.
[11:25] ---
What do we do about money, though?
[11:27] ---
Without parts, this thing
can't even stand up.
[11:30] ---
Oh, about that. I can arrange up to $3,000.
[11:34] ---
That's my card's credit limit.
[11:38] ---
I'm kind of interested now.
[11:40] ---
Thanks, mister!
[11:44] ---
I figured maybe a longshot bet
like this could be fun.
[11:48] ---
No, the odds are good.
[11:50] ---
R-Really?
[11:52] ---
By the way, what's your name?
[11:54] ---
It's Sousuke Sagara.
[11:58] ---
I've come to this city in search of something.
[12:05] ---
We bought them!
[12:06] ---
Good! Bring 'em over!
[12:18] ---
I'm done here.
[12:22] ---
That's an unusual operator suit.
Can you really win?
[12:25] ---
I intend to.
[12:27] ---
Your opponent's strong.
[12:29] ---
Not to mention brutal and cruel.
[12:33] ---
That's good work.
[12:36] ---
All right, I'll be back.
[12:54] ---
W-Will he be okay?
[12:56] ---
Who knows? But maybe
he'll be unexpectedly good.
[12:59] ---
Based on what?
[13:01] ---
His build. You see it a lot with AS pilots.
[13:05] ---
And the skin on his elbows
and wrists seemed thick.
[13:07] ---
His knowledge was, well, pro-level.
[13:12] ---
He might really be an ace.
[13:23] ---
I figured out the quirk.
[13:25] ---
Oh, sure. Do your best.
[13:33] ---
Next bout, category: Bare Hands.
[13:36] ---
Ogre! Operator, Quang Van Dao!
[13:41] ---
Versus!
[13:42] ---
Crossbow! Operator, Sohsky Seagull!
[13:48] ---
Crossbow? That heap?
[13:50] ---
That's right. Cool, isn't it?
[13:54] ---
It's a good name.
But it's certainly no Arbalest.
[13:58] ---
Arba... lest?
[14:00] ---
That's a siege engine crossbow.
[14:02] ---
Huh...
[14:07] ---
Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!
[14:14] ---
You've got guts, pal!
I don't know who you are in there,
[14:18] ---
but it's too late to beg for your life!
[14:27] ---
Fight!
[14:31] ---
Drop dead!
[14:56] ---
The winner, Crossbow!
[15:03] ---
Wh-What happened?
[15:05] ---
Dao passed out.
[15:08] ---
When an AS rotates that much,
[15:10] ---
not even its shock absorption system
can protect the operator.
[15:14] ---
You could say it's like
being in a nasty car accident.
[15:18] ---
Ah-ha...
[15:18] ---
But a regular operator could
never do that. In other words, he's...
[15:25] ---
He's good. Outrageously good.
[15:31] ---
Anyway, this means we won?
[15:33] ---
Yeah.
[15:34] ---
That's right! It's unbelievable!
[15:37] ---
We won!
[15:42] ---
That was something else, I tell you!
[15:45] ---
I knew he'd do it.
[15:47] ---
You were saying he had no chance.
[15:54] ---
If nothing else, thanks. You bailed us out.
[15:58] ---
No problem. But more importantly...
[16:00] ---
Wh-What?
[16:02] ---
Can I keep working for you?
[16:05] ---
If I can secure money for
a hotel and three meals a day,
[16:07] ---
I'm willing to strike a deal.
[16:12] ---
Of course. By all means.
[16:19] ---
Man, that was thrilling!
[16:21] ---
What a relief it was!
[16:22] ---
Hey, chief! You get any good photos?
[16:25] ---
I was so engrossed in the match, I forgot.
[16:30] ---
Hey, I'll have another beer!
[16:32] ---
Enjoying yourself?
[16:33] ---
Affirmative.
[16:35] ---
Me, too!
[16:36] ---
--Two more beers!
--Everyone's cutting loose.
[16:38] ---
Looks like they've forgotten all about Rick.
[16:41] ---
That's better than being depressed.
[16:43] ---
I guess.
[16:44] ---
On that note, where did
you learn to operate an AS?
[16:48] ---
With a Savage I stole from the enemy
in the Helmajistan civil war.
[16:52] ---
That was six or seven years ago.
[16:54] ---
You mean you were a guerrilla?
[16:56] ---
And you're about the same age as me.
[16:59] ---
Weren't you a child back then?
[17:04] ---
Sorry. That was too nosy.
[17:07] ---
No. Can I ask you something, too?
[17:10] ---
What?
[17:11] ---
Where did you get that Savage?
It's an old mech,
[17:15] ---
but it's not something
a private citizen can buy.
[17:17] ---
I found it. On the outskirts of my old village.
[17:21] ---
You know how this country
was at war until three years ago?
[17:24] ---
Yeah.
[17:25] ---
My village burned down,
and my family got split up.
[17:28] ---
Everybody died.
[17:30] ---
The Savage belonged to
the ones who attacked the village.
[17:33] ---
It ran out of fuel and they abandoned it.
[17:35] ---
I had it hidden in the mountains,
thinking I'd sell it off someday.
[17:40] ---
But there's something I want to do.
I don't have money, though.
[17:43] ---
I tried dancing downstairs at
a few places around here, but no dice.
[17:48] ---
And so, we have the arena.
[17:51] ---
You can earn that much there?
[17:52] ---
We're talking huge sums.
If you advance to Class A and keep winning,
[17:57] ---
you can live as luxuriously as you want.
[17:59] ---
Well, not that I have
any interest in a luxury condo.
[18:02] ---
Then what will you do with your earnings?
[18:06] ---
I want to rebuild the village.
[18:08] ---
With the money I make here,
I'll restore the ruined fields
[18:11] ---
and fix the roads and bridges.
I'll also restart the school.
[18:16] ---
School?
[18:17] ---
Right. A small school building
where I used to attend.
[18:21] ---
The teacher wound up dead,
but it was a good school.
[18:25] ---
School, huh...
[18:30] ---
You two!
[18:32] ---
What're you making those sour faces for?!
Get over here and drink!
[18:36] ---
Wow, you've totally blended in now.
[18:39] ---
Well, yeah! I'm, you know, the sponsor!
The most important guy!
[18:44] ---
That's patronizing!
[18:45] ---
Anyway, let's live it up!
[18:49] ---
Good work today. You guys get home safe.
[18:51] ---
Yep!
[18:59] ---
Is your hotel that way?
[19:01] ---
--Yeah.
--Here's where we part, then.
[19:03] ---
Ten AM tomorrow,
in front of the hangar. Okay?
[19:06] ---
Understood.
[19:07] ---
Okay, good night.
[19:32] ---
It's dangerous to walk down
the street alone at night!
[19:34] ---
Dao!
[19:35] ---
You really took care of me today.
I'm here to thank you!
[19:39] ---
Right?!
[19:41] ---
Th-The loser gets his revenge, huh?
You're rotten to the core.
[19:46] ---
Now hear this!
Every time you use a crude word,
[19:50] ---
I'll hit you! Be careful.
[19:52] ---
You piece of shit!
[19:55] ---
You don't understand the rules!
Well, I'm gonna pound them into you.
[20:00] ---
Stop it...!
[20:01] ---
Speaking of which, that little brat you hired?
[20:04] ---
I took care of him, too.
[20:05] ---
You mean Sousuke? You monster!
[20:10] ---
I told you, crude words aren't allowed.
[20:14] ---
Didn't I?!
[20:16] ---
He's Sousuke, huh?
[20:17] ---
Right now, he's probably dead-- kissin' the
ground in some neighborhood back alley.
[20:21] ---
Such a pity!
[20:24] ---
You're talking about me?
[20:27] ---
Dao, was it? Your henchman
is asleep, kissing the ground.
[20:33] ---
Let her go. I'd rather avoid trouble.
[20:38] ---
Ah, hell.
[20:40] ---
Die!
[20:50] ---
Don't move! Respiratory tract,
nerves, carotid artery.
[20:52] ---
I missed them all with the stab!
[20:54] ---
But if my hand moves just a little...
[21:00] ---
Never lay a finger on her again. Swear it!
[21:03] ---
I... I-I swear!
[21:07] ---
And you guys?
[21:08] ---
Y-Yeah, we swear.
[21:09] ---
You win!
[21:11] ---
Let Dao go.
[21:15] ---
Go.
[21:25] ---
I'm sorry.
[21:26] ---
Wh-Why apologize?
[21:28] ---
