My body starts to melt
it was waiting for this miracle
1-2-3-4-546-7-8
009
You've got the chance to express you
Here comes the imagination
Time, place
Truth and lies
Joy and sorrow
Kindness, hateness
Happiness, sadness
Smile, tears, friendship
Alone, together, birth
Death, sleep, fight
Space and oneself
In that promised place
I feel it once again
The spreading of a dream that's come true
I start running today too
Wait here a second. I have to make a phone call.
A phone call? To whom?
Oh, there's just something I have to check on.
Hello.
Dr. Gilmore?
Episode 32: Man or Machine?
004?
Sorry to call so early, but I have a favor to ask.
I picked up word of disturbing movements
in Mozell Castle on the outskirts of Triela.
Would you go on ahead and check it out?
We're at the airport now.
We'll be on our way over there soon.
Someone else is here.
A raygun?!
It's me...
A robot!
Bastard...
It's predicting my movements?
Who made this pain in the ass?!
Eat this!
What?!
Machine gun, laser knife, micro-missile...
It has all of my abilities,
but it's entirely robotic.
The more drawn out the fight, the more I'm at a disadvantage.
It's programmed to move like me.
All I can do is outsmart it.
Here he comes.
004! 004!
004!
Your brain cells and optic nerves are fine.
There's nothing to worry about.
I did replace part of your damaged right shoulder with new material.
New material?
It's material that wasn't available when you were first turned into a cyborg.
In fact, the material used back then isn't around anymore.
It does feel lighter.
I increased your speed and power, too.
Did you increase my deadliness as a weapon, too?
It doesn't feel too good knowing that I'm becoming less and less human.
I hate to see you like this, 004.
Actually, I used cutting edge technology
to create robots with your exact abilities for an experiment,
to test which is superior, them or you, the original model.
Experiment?
And now I know that you lost to cutting edge technology.
Why are you so attached to that old body?
Why won't you let me improve on your weaponry?
I'm not a weapon.
You protest after all this?
You haven't been human for a long time.
Don't you think it would be braver to live as a weapon
than some half-hearted human-weapon hybrid?
What do you say? Will you live as a perfect weapon?
If so, I'll do everything in my power to help you.
I'm
Doctor...
I feel like I'm fighting the shadow of my former self.
Bastard!
I never thought my work would lose to a cyborg!
Don't get cocky!
With this experiment, you just happened to get lucky!
Just wait, you half-baked cyborg!
Next time, I swear...
The real doctor would never involve me in a stupid experiment like this.
Rain isn't good for a machine body.
You guys helped me out.
So long. My apologies for the ruckus.
What happened to you?
Oh, I just ran into a little trouble.
Trouble?
Dr. Gilmore called and asked me to go somewhere.
I didn't call you.
Well, it turned out to be more of a prank call.
But you did make a phone call from the airport, didn't you, Doctor?
Oh, that was to Japan.
I couldn't remember in unplugged the iron
and it bothered me even on the plane.
I had 006 check it for me.
Doctor, you do your own ironing?
Once in a while.
Instead of researching all the time, you should search for a bride.
W-What are you talking about?!
You need a wife who's kind and good at housework.
Like 006?
Honey!
Oh, stop!
You too, 004?!
You shouldn't mock the elderly!
There wasn't even a lingering trace of that scent
I'm surprised by the meaning of the pain
Like the red light from a towering building at night
My blinking heart won't turn off
There are things I don't want to forget and things that will be wiped away
Along mm a vow
I can see
Dancing you and me
Time has stopped!
Dr. Gilmore and Francoise are also stopped.
I'm the only one left, while the rest of the world is immobile, as if frozen.
Why? How? What happened?!
The sights are the same, but nothing is moving.
I can't hear anything.
Is this a dream?!
I want to hear everyone's voices once more.
