00:00Hey!
00:30Hey!
01:00When I was only human, I thought about justice.
01:07I even thought about what I could do to make the world a better place.
01:11And all it got me was steel nerves, chrome skin, and a fusion-powered pump for a heart.
01:18But I'm still thinking about justice.
01:20Use configuration. Processing.
01:22Justice for me, and for everyone who did this to me.
01:32Konnichiwa, Akira-san.
01:34We regret that Mr. Akira cannot take your call at this time.
01:37But I'm going to be on the hypersonic to New Tokyo within the hour.
01:40Then Mr. Akira looks forward to meeting with you this afternoon to review his changes in the Cyberville contract.
01:46What changes?
01:48This is for you. My resignation.
01:51Ha!
01:51You can't resign, Graff. Your body is company property.
01:56Stop!
02:03Then let me use it to do my job.
02:08Stop making me wait for the Phantom to strike first.
02:11If you don't, Cyberville will never be finished on time.
02:16And you know what that means for you.
02:18I hope that wasn't threat, Graff.
02:20But if you need to go after the Phantom that badly, then do so.
02:25But it will be your last chance.
02:27And you know what that means for you.
02:29Just remember who pulls your strings.
02:32Correct response.
02:41Correct response.
02:57Human perpetrator unconsciously.
03:13Incorrect response. Officer terminated. Program ends.
03:20You changed the program.
03:22Random's a wanted criminal forcer. If you can't do your job, then resign and get back to flying the beat. Do you understand?
03:28I understand. It won't happen again, sir.
03:31Wait on Metropia. I tell you, gang, something's definitely rotten in the city-state of Metropia. And I'm talking purple-peel present.
03:40Tonight's target, that indigo instigator of insurrection himself, the Phantom.
03:49Tonight's special guest, my new best friend, Commander Hubert Graff, Chief of Maximum Security.
03:55Hubert?
03:56Hubert?
03:57So, Hubert, what's the big bite tonight?
04:01Maximum Inc. has just located these long-lost data files.
04:04They concern the great train wreck of 2024 and the toxic waste spill that closed Sector Zero forever?
04:09In three days, when my analyticals have disappeared, I'm not sure.
04:11I'm not sure.
04:12I'm not sure.
04:13I'm not sure.
04:14I'm not sure.
04:15I'm not sure.
04:16I'm not sure.
04:17I'm not sure.
04:18I'm not sure.
04:19...I'm not sure.
04:20Not sure.
04:34My amplicer was very pretty loud.
04:36There might beños that slowly teleported.
04:37Dangerous response to the fortsets in Egypt.
04:42llanまだ of course is quite something.
04:44And it's a matter of94.
04:45Ooh, my rhinencephalon writhes with anticipation.
04:51Until then, I want you to keep an eye on these files.
04:54I'll be safe from anyone who might want to interfere with justice.
04:59My eye is your eye, Metropia.
05:02So be sure to join me in three days for Phantom Hunt 2040.
05:08Ooh.
05:09And remember, I stay in touch so you don't have to.
05:15Do you think the Phantom's a criminal?
05:17It doesn't matter what I think.
05:19My job's to arrest the Phantom, not to convict him.
05:22Look, for me, thinking about the Phantom is thinking about work.
05:26And we're supposed to be on a date.
05:29Okay.
05:30So what do you want to think about?
05:32Well, maybe we could, uh...
05:34Oh, for...
05:36Sagan online.
05:37This is a Class 1 Phantom alert.
05:39Report to staging center.
05:40Enforcer 714 acknowledged.
05:42Well, maybe with Max and his new evidence, I could finally get the Phantom.
05:47Then you and I can actually finish a date.
05:49Sound good to you?
05:49Well, uh...
05:51Yes and no.
05:53I'm sorry you aren't anyway.
05:55You're supposed to wish me luck.
05:57Well, I'm...
05:58Kind of hoping you won't need any.
05:59What am I doing wrong, Goran?
06:05The Phantom has always been known as someone who fights for law and order.
06:08But now, when it's my turn, everyone thinks the Phantom is a criminal.
06:12And Graf says that he has evidence to prove it?
06:15To understand your future, you must learn more about your past.
06:19Each Phantom since the first has kept a journal,
06:28through which he can pass on his knowledge to those who would follow him.
06:321811?
06:33Ancient history won't help me now, Goran.
06:35What does my father's journal say about the toxic waste bill?
06:39Nothing.
06:40Your father's final entry was made one week before the train wreck and his disappearance.
06:45Goran, did my father cause the wreck?
06:49I fear we will never know what really happened that night.
06:53Unless Graf was telling the truth to Dr. Jack.
06:56And in that case, the Phantom has to find out what's in those files before the enforcers do.
07:00No, Phantom.
07:01You are too impatient.
07:03You cannot trust Graf's word that the files are real.
07:06Read the chronicles your forebears have left you.
07:09Learn from their experience, then.
07:10You've already taught me everything I need to know about being the Phantom.
07:14Are you certain you know everything?
07:19What is it?
07:20The Phantom's second ring.
07:22Known as the Good Mark.
07:24Its symbol proclaims that all who wear it are under the Phantom's protection.
07:28It is worn on the left hand to be nearer to the heart.
07:31To receive the Good Mark is both a gift and an obligation to...
07:33Garan, I promise you can tell me everything later.
07:36After I've recovered the maximum files.
07:38If such files truly exist.
07:40Are you sure the Phantom will show up to get the files?
07:53My trap is perfect.
07:55For the forces don't interfere.
08:00They won't.
08:01I know how to keep my word.
08:03So do I.
08:04This debit card gives you access to 100,000 Australian Iridium credits.
08:10Absolutely untraceable.
08:12The Phantom must be worth a lot to you.
08:15When I've done my job,
08:17he won't be worth anything to anyone.
08:23Phantom 2040 returns after these messages.
08:30Back to the Phantom.
08:31Phantom.
08:34This is Cruz.
08:48DVL has detected an intruder.
08:50It has to be the Phantom.
08:51Preparing to apprehend.
08:52Negative, Cruz.
08:53All abortions.
08:54Hold your positions.
08:55But DVL's got a positive lock.
08:57Let him go.
08:58That's a order.
08:59That's a order.
09:05Retreat.
09:08Fly.
09:09Jacked in and pulled photonic.
09:11It's farewell, Phantom.
09:13We hardly knew you.
09:16Oh.
09:17There should be little purple pieces of them all over the door.
09:19Hey.
09:20Doc.
09:21Plug this in.
09:23Fire.
09:24Yeah.
09:25Adelso.
09:26Adelso.
09:26Adelso.
09:28Are there any files or...
09:30File this, Phantom.
09:31Captured.
09:42Okay.
09:44So Garand hasn't taught me everything.
09:46Hypercycle.
09:47Lock and find.
09:50Fire.
09:50Fire.
09:50You only blew up a decoy, Phantom.
10:00I still have what you came for.
10:05Two days, Phantom.
10:07That's all the time you've got.
10:11Something's not right, partner.
10:13Why would the commander have us set a trap for the Phantom and then order us not to catch him?
10:17I think it's time we did some real police work.
10:21On our own.
10:24What?
10:30Strap!
10:32How dare you release my private files about the Sector Zero crash?
10:36Goodbye.
10:37I made up that story to trap the Phantom.
10:40Have you been withholding information from me?
10:44Of course not.
10:45After all, how quick can you release files that don't exist?
10:50Well, I have to get back to my meeting now.
10:53Carry on, Graft.
10:55Analytics.
10:56Rebecca Madison does have secret files about the Sector Zero crash.
11:00How would I find them?
11:02Processing.
11:06That train wreck has something to do with the ghost jungle.
11:09I just know it.
11:10The ghost wood plant feeds on most environmental poisons.
11:16Perhaps your father planted it to help clean up the toxic waste.
11:20If he survived the wreck.
11:24Oh, there's so much I don't know.
11:27To admit one's ignorance is the first step to acquiring wisdom.
11:31What I need to acquire are Graft's files.
11:33Perhaps we should find out how the police will be involved
11:37when Graft turns over the decoded files at Cyberville.
11:40Of course, Professor.
11:41If it's just another maximum trap, the police won't be involved at all.
11:45Ah, but how do we find out what the police have planned?
11:49That part's easy.
11:50We ask them.
11:53This debit card's been canceled.
11:55It's worthless.
11:55And you don't get any more payments until my problem is solved.
12:00Do you understand?
12:09And another!
12:10And another!
12:11Over there!
12:12Shake it!
12:12Look out!
12:13Where?
12:13Where?
12:14Oh!
12:15No!
12:16Ah!
12:19Where'd you learn to shoot like that?
12:21I've never lost before.
12:22I think you were just distracted.
12:26What, um, trouble at work again?
12:29Anything to do with the Sector Zero files?
12:32I'm not at liberty to discuss...
12:34Don't laugh, Kit, but for a second I thought you were trying to get
12:38and force your information out of me.
12:40But you'd never do that.
12:42That's why I like being with you.
12:44In case you hadn't noticed.
12:46You're so honest with me.
12:48Not like some people I know.
12:50Excuse me, citizen.
12:51Accept this prize for achieving the high score of the day.
12:56What am I supposed to do with a...
12:59Oh.
13:03Please accept this prize for being the high point of my day.
13:08I...
13:08I've never accepted anything like this before.
13:12I've never given anything like this to anyone before.
13:16Oh, if only the rest of my life were this easy.
13:19I know what you mean.
13:32Number 57.
13:34Step into the target zone.
13:36That action might result in damage to this unit.
13:39Ah, you've been paying attention.
13:42Step into the target zone.
13:44Now.
13:44Now.
13:44This unit is now in the...
13:51Ashes, ashes, we all fall down.
13:56Very impressive.
13:58Baudelaire thinks so.
14:01Listen, kid.
14:03Your mother is close to losing maximum to her overseas partners.
14:06If you help me, I can put you in charge before that happens.
14:11Mm-hmm.
14:13What sort of help, tin man?
14:15I need access to your mother's private files.
14:19My analytical said you know where she keeps them.
14:21Oh, if you only had a brain, you wouldn't need me to tell you where mother keeps her most valuable possessions.
14:27But since you don't, we have a deal.
14:31Shake, partner.
14:32Hey, partner.
15:00I'm home.
15:01DBL?
15:03Where are you?
15:05What's wrong with the light?
15:06Shut the door, Forcer.
15:09No!
15:11That's an order.
15:16The action continues after these messages.
15:21Now, what was that dream you had?
15:24Well, I'm in the cabin.
15:27I knew it was wrong to let a rookie join the enforcers.
15:31You make too many mistakes, like forgetting that everything these glasses record is uploaded to my analytics.
15:39But the courts won't accept that kind of recording.
15:40But the courts won't accept that kind of recording.
15:41It's too easy to alter.
15:43There's no proof.
15:44Incorrect response.
15:45Incorrect response.
15:46Incorrect response.
15:46Officer, terminate.
15:48Drop your weapon.
15:49I don't want to hurt you.
15:50DBL?
15:51I don't want to do it.
15:55Oh, crap.
15:57You got to get me a bonus for this.
15:58Officer needs assistance now.
16:00Continue it.
16:05Of course, we're going to request him backup.
16:06I got the phantom.
16:07Any...
16:08try it?
16:21Anyone home?
16:26The wind is out of Africa.
16:28And last night, I couldn't sleep.
16:31You're dead, Father.
16:32You're not supposed to sleep.
16:35But I met a traveler from an antique land.
16:39Normally, I adore small talk, Father.
16:41But right now, I'd like to know where Mother keeps her private files.
16:47Rebecca.
16:49Don't think of Mother.
16:51Think of Mother's private files.
16:57Bravissimo, Father.
17:02Now, why don't you ooze back to wherever it is you ooze?
17:07Don't worry.
17:13You and your partner are someplace safe.
17:16And I heard everything your commander said to you.
17:18What were you doing at my apartment anyway?
17:20Saving your life and your welcome.
17:23I saved his life, too.
17:25Look, if you really want to do something for me and yourself,
17:28turn yourself in for a fair trial.
17:29But I haven't done anything wrong.
17:31And if you want your commander to face justice,
17:33I am the only one you can trust to help you.
17:35I have a plan.
17:37I'm never going to trust you.
17:39But I'm listening.
17:40And it better be good.
17:41Cyberville, where the future begins tomorrow.
17:48But today, it's the site of the Phantom's last stand.
17:51Because in just one minute,
17:53Commander Graz will hand me decoded files probing.
17:58The Phantom's a criminal.
17:59Stay online for...
18:01What the...
18:02That's not the script.
18:06Citizens of Metropia,
18:07I am turning myself in
18:10because I know a fair trial will prove my innocence.
18:13Oh, you heard him, Metropia.
18:16Phantom loses touch with reality.
18:18And it's about time.
18:21The Phantom just surrendered.
18:23Live on the Dr. Jack show.
18:25How can I destroy him now?
18:27There'll be too many witnesses.
18:28Calm down.
18:29It's not safe to talk here.
18:31Meet me on the other side of that ball.
18:36Very well.
18:37I shall tell the doctor what you have told me.
18:39This is the multi-cruiser route we're using
18:41to take the Phantom to lock up.
18:43Two missiles right here will blast him out of the sky.
18:46What about the Enforcers on board with him?
18:48It's not their lucky day.
18:51Now pay up.
18:52Live, jacked in, and full photonic.
18:56Enforcer Commander on the take.
18:59And the doctor is...
19:01in.
19:02Attention all Enforcers.
19:05Priority alert.
19:06Arrest Enforcer 1.
19:09Power cuffs.
19:11Cross-circuit inducted straps.
19:12Grab to Max Madison.
19:17Come in.
19:18Why don't you ever call me?
19:20Aim.
19:22Lock.
19:23Fire!
19:25Ah!
19:26Anyone ever tell you mud is definitely your color?
19:29Ooh!
19:31See that, Metropia?
19:33Total mindless action just the way you like it.
19:37How are my ratings, Tav?
19:38You are now the highest rated news upload of the year
19:41and still finding.
19:42Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!
19:44Top of the world, Tav!
19:51Why, Hubert, I'm disappointed in you.
19:56My plan worked.
19:58Your commander's been arrested.
20:00The grass isn't being charged.
20:02They're saying he set up the sting operation
20:04that caught the commander.
20:05He's a hero.
20:07And there's still a warrant out on you.
20:09I have to arrest you.
20:10Are you certain there aren't any other enforcers
20:12on Maximum's payroll?
20:14Can you guarantee I'd make it to a fair trial?
20:17You're asking me to doubt everything I believe in.
20:19No, I'm not.
20:20I'm only asking you to trust me.
20:23I can't do that.
20:24But I can't guarantee your safety either.
20:27So for now, you're free to go.
20:31I...
20:32No, no, no, wait.
20:32I want to give you something.
20:37That's mine.
20:39It's the good mark.
20:40It means you're under the Phantom's protection.
20:42You mean it's a payoff?
20:44Like Graff gave my commander.
20:45What?
20:46Why don't you just tell the whole world
20:48that Sagan crew sold out to the Phantom?
20:50It was a gift.
20:59Graff, I saw the whole thing on Dr. Jack.
21:04You're pathetic.
21:06I think I'll make you a statue in my sky garden,
21:10a little gift for my pigeons.
21:11If anything happens to me,
21:15copies of your Sector Zero files
21:17go straight to Dr. Jack.
21:20How did you get them?
21:22They're...
21:22They're impenetrable.
21:24You can't know what's in them.
21:25You can't.
21:26Not yet.
21:27But I'm working.
21:29Put away that bracelet, Rebecca.
21:32It's time to review the changes
21:33in my country.
21:35Any luck with the files?
21:45They're blank.
21:46Garan was right.
21:48They were bait for a trap.
21:49Oh, don't be so hard on yourself.
21:52Next time you'll know better.
21:54How can you expect others to trust in you
21:56if you can't trust in yourself first?
21:59You're right.
22:00And how can I learn to be the Phantom
22:02if I can't learn from my own mistakes?
22:05It's cut too deep.
22:13I can't get it out.
22:18I know, partner.
22:21Kit gave me this,
22:23and the Phantom ruined it.
22:24And all because I stepped outside the law
22:26for the first time in my life.
22:28But I can learn from my mistakes.
22:31Next time I get close to the Phantom,
22:33I'm bringing him in.
22:34Who knows?
22:35Maybe I'll ask Kit to help me.
22:37He's the one person I know I can trust.
22:41Besides you, partner.
