00:00T40, one hero fights to save our dying planet, the Phantom.
00:30The Phantom.
01:00Often, in my solitude, I think of the paradox that in our information-filled age, when so
01:07much is known about the world around us, we seem to know less and less about ourselves.
01:12Could it be that all the information we crave is merely a distraction so we can keep running
01:17forever from the truth that lurks behind our masks?
01:30Perfection does have a beauty all its own.
01:39Don't celebrate yet.
01:41The gauntlet system performed well, but that scavenger is hardly a worthy foe.
01:46But, like the others, will none of them be missed, will none of them be missed.
01:53And you'd better hope it stays then.
01:55See, Garand? That's the fourth unexplained power surge I've seen in Cyberville this week.
02:03Becker's testing some new defense system.
02:06What?
02:07You will not unlock its secret tonight.
02:09It is late and time to rest, young Phantom.
02:12I can always count on you to take care of him, can't I?
02:15Since my ancestors rescued the first Phantom more than four centuries ago, our families
02:20have always been joined, each caring for the needs of the other.
02:25I think that means we're just one family.
02:32Good thing I can think of better things to do than get all mushy.
02:38A perfect fit!
02:40The path you walked was slowly, through no fault of your own.
02:44But now you have found peace.
02:47May you rest for all eternity.
02:51Hypersick!
02:52Lock and find!
02:54You and me were gonna skim some scrapers tonight.
02:57Hypersick!
02:58Taze mode!
02:59Now!
03:00Wow!
03:02Wow!
03:03Oh!
03:11Hi, Gareth.
03:12You know, I was just looking for...
03:14Hey!
03:15Let go of me!
03:16I'm not your kid!
03:17The Phantom brought you to his lair because you had no Phantom.
03:20Ow!
03:21But you are alone no longer.
03:22Listen.
03:24There is a tale of the 14th Phantom and a lesson he taught himself.
03:28My parents stumped me when I was three.
03:30I don't need to hear any old jungle sayings about families.
03:33Until you know where you come from, you can never truly know yourself.
03:40The Obsolete Entertainment Channel concludes the precast day with a recap of non-threatening news.
03:46Here we are in Cyberville where once again we see that new is much, much better than old.
03:51As the Vareaux Building and old ruins in the late 1900s is to be torn down tomorrow morning.
03:58That's a bad place.
04:00Do you know that building, Sparks?
04:03No!
04:04I mean...
04:05I...
04:06I don't remember.
04:21See?
04:22See?
04:23See the pretty colors?
04:24I don't remember.
04:25I don't remember.
04:40It's okay.
04:41It's okay, Sparks.
04:42What is it you saw?
04:44My...
04:45My...
04:47My parents.
04:49It doesn't take a detective to realize that seeing the Moreau Building on the news triggered some lost memory of Sparks' parents.
05:00And if we could somehow make sense of it, we might be able to find them.
05:05I don't want to find them.
05:07They ran out on me.
05:08Left me for the street bits to throw me scraps like a stray dog.
05:12You don't know that any more than I know what happened to my father.
05:15They didn't care.
05:17Might I be of service?
05:19At no charge, I might add.
05:21That doesn't sound like you, Cairo.
05:24Call it a whim.
05:26The memory you seek, the dream you saw, all are one.
05:30Merely a database that needs sifting and correlation.
05:33If you have the courage to enter your own darkness.
05:37Gaze at the image and let your mind float free.
05:40I will draw forth the electrical impulses into connected images.
05:52Without a way, Esteban.
05:53Be careful.
05:54That coupler holds a recent discharge for years.
05:56I know, Maria.
05:57But he will remove its signs and make it serious.
06:00No, Danny, that's dangerous.
06:04See?
06:05See the pretty grass?
06:08You like those hands like your mom and papa?
06:17Congratulations, citizen.
06:18You are summoned to a great destiny.
06:20It's Esteban.
06:21Run, Danny!
06:22Hide!
06:23Hide!
06:24Hide!
06:25Don't want me!
06:26Over here!
06:27Ah!
06:28Let me go!
06:29Let me go!
06:30Let me go!
06:31Let me go!
06:44Come here!
06:46Come here, V 눈, let me go!
06:49Come here!
06:53I'll excuse me!
06:54I'm sorry!
06:55My parents didn't abandon me.
07:12Someone kidnapped him!
07:16Phantom 2040 returned.
07:18That's an old style maximum combat line on series two.
07:26What maximum one was Sparks Bandage?
07:29Maybe we can answer that after an on-site inspection.
07:32Tonight, because if we wait until tomorrow, the Moreau building will be dust.
07:40Let's go!
07:41No, Sparks. You're staying here.
07:44But they're my parents!
07:45I know. They wouldn't want me to put you in danger, would they?
08:03Hello! In there!
08:04I say, excuse me!
08:09How may I be of service, citizen?
08:11Well, I used to live in the Moreau building as a child, and I wondered if I could...
08:20What fools these biots be?
08:23What would Maximum have wanted with all this nine years ago?
08:32Better get a record of this and try to access the data system.
08:41Oh!
08:42Oh!
08:43Oh!
08:44Oh!
08:45Oh!
08:46Oh!
08:47Oh!
08:48Oh!
08:49Oh!
08:50Oh!
08:51Oh!
08:52Oh!
08:53Oh!
08:54Oh!
08:55Oh!
08:56Oh!
08:57Oh!
08:58Oh!
08:59Oh!
09:00Really, Grafft.
09:06Some of your attachments are just marvelous.
09:11Commander Grafft, we have detected an injured human at the wrecking site.
09:16Do you wish us to help him?
09:18No, just throw him out with the rest of the garbage.
09:30Yes, God.
09:38Fire!
09:48Hey, how's this gating?
09:49I don't know. This ice is pretty slushy, but the stuff I've dredged so far says Maximum was yanking lots of street fits off dockside streets for some kind of experiment.
09:57He figured no one would care the street people would call him.
10:01Someone has to care, don't they?
10:03That's why we're here, Sparks. All of us.
10:13Kit, come see!
10:15We've been able to identify the equipment in the Moreau building.
10:18It appears they were developing a sensitive brain recording process.
10:23Like the equipment Rebecca used to store her husband's mind after he died.
10:27Yes, but there was more.
10:29In the Moreau building, Maximum was also studying the immune system which defends the human body from disease.
10:35What was Rebecca up to?
10:39Analytical.
10:40Judge, any reference to two test subjects?
10:43Maria and Esteban.
10:45No last name, no.
10:47One entry found.
10:48Well, don't wait for the sun to go, Nova. Tell me!
10:53Esteban and Maria Aguilar. Only survivors of the Moreau experiment. Transferred to Cyberville April 2040 as part of Project Gauntlet.
11:04April 2040?
11:06Then they're alive!
11:07I've lost my accent, Katie.
11:17I need you to let me into Cyberville.
11:19Fly away!
11:20Cyberville?
11:21Aren't you having dinner with...
11:23Didn't you hear me, Nemlo?
11:25Let me in!
11:26No!
11:26All right.
11:29All right.
11:36If I'm reading this correctly, Sparks' parents were taken to Cyberville only a few months ago.
11:42Then that's where Sparks is going.
11:44He was afraid I'd make him stay behind again.
11:47Analytical.
11:49Scan for human temperature readings.
11:52Now humans detected.
11:54Expand field and rescate.
11:56Max?
12:04Darling!
12:06I've brought that before you.
12:08And your cat.
12:15Oopsie.
12:16The feedback loops are still a tad sensitive.
12:20Your Legion project is taking up too much of your time.
12:23You can't just hang in there, all right?
12:25Are you certain you wouldn't care to take it for a spin?
12:32You're beginning to sound just like your father.
12:35Scrape!
12:36You've simply got to talk to Max.
12:38You're supposed to be in Cyberville.
12:40What would I be doing there at this time of night?
12:44Then we have an intruder.
12:46Not an intruder.
12:48A new test subject for Gauntlet.
12:51Activate the system at once!
12:53Without its full power grid, Gauntlet can only respond to one attack at a time.
12:57If Gauntlet is as good as you were sure, there will only be one attack.
13:04At least I can switch his father off.
13:09No human life signs detected in the Cyberville area.
13:13Check it again!
13:13My parents have to be here!
13:15The action continues after these messages.
13:39Stay there, Sparks!
13:57Cyberville is alive!
13:58Aim, lock, fire!
14:04Attention, the scan has now detected three intruders in Cyberville.
14:08Display.
14:10At last, a truly worthy foe for Gauntlet.
14:16This way!
14:16Are you okay, Sparks?
14:28I think so.
14:29Your parents?
14:30Not here.
14:31I'm sorry, Sparks.
14:32I...
14:33Phantom, we must turn our thoughts to escape.
14:35I am, Garand.
14:36Gauntlet uses the same shape-changing technology as Heisenberg or the Frackle Viap,
14:40but on a much larger scale.
14:41So since we can't outfight its body, we've got to strike at its mind.
14:45Analytical.
14:45Display map of the power surges I detected.
14:48There.
14:49That must be the control center.
14:50At Cyberville's edge.
14:52And here's the intruder.
14:57That power conduit is too narrow for us, Sparks.
15:00But not for me!
15:03It's too risky, Sparks.
15:05Phantom, consider.
15:06Gauntlet released the boy in order to attack us.
15:09If it can only concentrate on one target at a time...
15:11We might keep it so busy it wouldn't have time to do anything else.
15:14I know I can do it.
15:15Please!
15:18Better take this.
15:19But whatever you find down there, never point it at a human.
15:23Never use it to cause harm.
15:29Attention.
15:30Unauthorized entry into Gauntlet Control Center.
15:36Prepare my configuration, Faye.
15:38The damage would cause his healing more quickly than before.
15:43Healing?
15:44It's as if the Gauntlet had its own immune system.
15:46That's why Maximum was kidnapping people.
15:47To combine them with Gauntlet.
15:49To combine them with Gauntlet.
15:51Yeah.
15:51Thank you, Gauntlet.
15:52I have to meet you, Gauntlet.
15:53Care to introduce me to your power supply?
15:55This is gonna be as easy as 3.14159.
15:57I have to meet you, Gauntlet.
15:59I have to meet you, Gauntlet.
16:00I have to meet you, Gauntlet.
16:00I have to meet you, Gauntlet.
16:02Care to introduce me to your power supply?
16:04This is gonna be as easy as 3.14159.
16:07Shull.
16:07We are gauntlet.
16:09That's why Maximum was kidnapping people.
16:10That's why Maximum was kidnapping people.
16:11To combine them with Gauntlet.
16:12That's why Maximum was kidnapping people.
16:14To combine them with Gauntlet.
16:14That's why Maximum was kidnapping people.
16:15To combine them with Gauntlet.
16:16This is going to be as easy as 3.14159.
16:27So, we are gauntlet.
16:35Did the boy succeed?
16:37No, gauntlet's still operational and it's targeting sparks.
16:46No, no!
16:53Gauntlet, watch this!
16:55I'm destroying your city, attacking your body!
17:12Please, stop!
17:14They're my friends!
17:17Mama!
17:18Papa!
17:20Don't!
17:22Illegal input.
17:24Those data have no meaning to us.
17:28Yes, they do!
17:29It's me!
17:30Danny!
17:31I'm 12 now.
17:32Look at me!
17:33Mama, remember?
17:35You gave this to me when the biots came!
17:38Maximum took you!
17:40Maximum did this to you!
17:42They took us.
17:48You have to stop what you're doing!
17:52We cannot.
17:53The fractal units are connected to our immune systems.
17:57We defend automatically.
17:59Without thought.
18:00Without control.
18:01You have to stop us.
18:03Stop us.
18:04Me?
18:05You mean...
18:06No!
18:07There's gotta be another way!
18:08Please, Danny.
18:09Don't let them...
18:10Make us kill.
18:11Feel us, Danny.
18:12Maximum destroyed our bodies years ago.
18:13Let what remains of us rest at last.
18:16But I just found you!
18:17You never lost us.
18:18We're in your heart.
18:19In your dreams.
18:20Please, Danny.
18:21Please, Danny.
18:22Name.
18:23Name.
18:24Clock.
18:25Fire!
18:26Where are we?
18:27Anybody?
18:28No!
18:29Fuck!
18:30I'm sorry!
18:31Ah!
18:32I'm sorry.
18:33I'm sorry.
18:34You don't let me know...
18:35Little man.
18:36Oh!
18:37You never lost us.
18:38You never lost us.
18:40We're in your heart.
18:42In your dreams.
18:43Please, Danny.
18:45Name.
18:46Clock.
18:47He's heading for the control room.
19:17He'll find Sparks.
19:32We will always love you, Danny.
19:36Forever.
19:41Mama.
19:48Papa.
19:50A child?
19:57It's only a child.
20:05No!
20:12Raft, if you...
20:15Shh.
20:17He's asleep.
20:18This is not a war for children.
20:22Take him away from here.
20:28Would you like to come, too?
20:34Perhaps.
20:36In a former life.
20:52They sacrificed everything for me.
20:57And they...
20:58They ended up with nothing.
21:00No, Sparks.
21:02They got to see that you grew up into someone brave.
21:06And strong.
21:07And kind.
21:09Parents live on in their children.
21:12It's everything for them to know that.
21:15You'll find your dad someday.
21:17We'll make sure.
21:22All the way down here.
21:52It brings the promise of a new day.
21:55As long as we live, there is hope.
21:58Gran, I'd like to hear that story you were going to tell me.
22:03You know, about the 14th Phantom.
22:06You no longer have need of it, Daniel.
22:09Instead, set down your own tale of this night.
22:12So that someday, your son will know what his father and his grandparents did for love.
22:18Please stay tuned for more of Phantom 20.
22:31You're welcome.
