This is a reliable tip from an organ smuggler he dealt with. 08:43.540 --> 08:47.800 The International Human Rights Committee and other organizations... 08:48.050 --> 08:50.010 ...have warrants for him... 08:50.220 --> 08:54.850 ...for vivisection experiments and dealing in human organs. 08:55.180 --> 08:59.480 To which end I ask for your cooperation... 08:59.680 --> 09:06.110 ...seeing I've never been in this city and I don't know east from west here. 09:06.940 --> 09:12.150 I'd like to help, but with the celebrations for the Ziggurat... 09:12.360 --> 09:14.240 ...going on all week... 09:14.450 --> 09:20.620 ...it's taking every single person I have to keep things under control. 09:21.120 --> 09:23.710 I don't have anybody. 09:23.960 --> 09:28.380 Well, I could give you a robot if that's okay with you. 09:28.590 --> 09:30.970 A robot?! 09:31.170 --> 09:34.180 Yes.

How do you do? 10:10.100 --> 10:14.180 I am Model 803-D-RP-DM... 10:14.390 --> 10:17.310 ...497-3-C. 10:18.350 --> 10:21.320 Uh, how do you do? 10:31.580 --> 10:35.620 The completion of the Ziggurat... 10:35.830 --> 10:39.790 ... establishes our Metropolis as the world leader... 10:40.000 --> 10:43.210 ... in industry, economics and culture. 10:43.460 --> 10:50.220 Thus is born a state that will last a thousand years! 10:50.510 --> 10:53.850 I tremble at the honour of announcing... 10:54.180 --> 10:59.480 ... the culmination of humanity's long history of intellect and science. 10:59.690 --> 11:05.400 Our power spans the earth.

He was a great dog. 11:56.740 --> 12:00.460 In my opinion, a criminal could not hide... 12:00.660 --> 12:03.670 ...up here in Metropolis. 12:03.880 --> 12:07.460 I have reliable sources that say he's here! 12:07.710 --> 12:12.260 Dr. Laughton would not hide up here. He would go to Zone 1. 12:12.510 --> 12:15.260 -Zone 1 ? -Underground. 12:15.430 --> 12:18.310 Hey! You are a detective! 12:18.850 --> 12:24.520 It is simply a calculation of probabilities. 12:47.170 --> 12:50.340 Robots are strictly forbidden... 12:51.050 --> 12:53.760 ...to operate outside their assigned area. 12:53.970 --> 13:00.390 That robot was not authorized to operate at surface level. 13:08.440 --> 13:13.610 Okay, but who are those guys? They look like fascists. 13:13.820 --> 13:18.990 The Malduk Party, vigilantes who started as a political group. 13:19.200 --> 13:23.540 Movement between levels is restricted. 13:23.750 --> 13:28.960 No one who carries the mark may pass through this gate. 13:29.170 --> 13:31.460 So that robot had the mark? 13:31.670 --> 13:35.220 Yes. Each block has a gate like this. 13:35.430 --> 13:40.850 There are, of course, hidden ways and people who work as guides to them. 13:41.060 --> 13:43.560 Damn right! The system's wrong! 13:48.440 --> 13:53.440 It takes light to create shadow, I guess. 13:53.780 --> 13:57.240 This level is not particularly dangerous... 13:57.450 --> 14:03.620 ...but there are places in which police writ does not run. Avoid them. 14:03.870 --> 14:09.250 We can't do that. We're not here as tourists. 15:08.850 --> 15:10.730 Duke Red. 15:11.770 --> 15:13.690 Let's see it. 15:32.210 --> 15:36.920 Very good. Isn't she finished? 15:37.130 --> 15:42.760 Her final-stage energy processor isn't stable yet. 15:43.930 --> 15:47.020 Are you using real organs? 15:47.220 --> 15:51.100 Dear me, no! That's illegal! 15:51.310 --> 15:56.150 Real organs are quicker, but they don't last very long. 15:56.360 --> 15:59.240 Hers are mechanical. I made them. 15:59.570 --> 16:04.160 She will be my masterpiece! 16:08.120 --> 16:09.750 When will you finish? 16:09.960 --> 16:14.040 Within the week. If I start her too early... 16:14.250 --> 16:19.260 ...she'll build up too much energy, catch fire and explode. 16:22.930 --> 16:25.390 My Tima.... 17:05.640 --> 17:08.930 I'm not giving you to anyone! 17:09.140 --> 17:12.690 I'll put on the finishing touches... 17:12.890 --> 17:16.190 ...and together we will flee! 17:32.870 --> 17:36.710 Rock? What are you doing here? 17:36.920 --> 17:40.380 Protecting my father is my most important task. 17:40.590 --> 17:45.510 Father?

I know what you're up to. 17:52.640 --> 17:57.770 No mad scientist is going to deceive my father. 17:59.020 --> 18:04.070 And no mannequin like this will steal his heart. 18:05.070 --> 18:06.490 Stop! 18:06.820 --> 18:11.240 It is at Duke Red's request that I've made Tima. 18:11.450 --> 18:14.750 Tima is the super-being who is to sit... 18:15.160 --> 18:18.710 ...on the Throne of Power atop the Ziggurat. 18:18.960 --> 18:24.760 You lie! He would never give the Ziggurat to a robot! 18:24.970 --> 18:28.890 Perhaps you should ask Duke Red about that. 18:29.220 --> 18:35.940 Will you destroy the super-being for whom the one you call Father waits? 18:39.980 --> 18:44.490 No robot will steal my father! 18:50.410 --> 18:53.540 No! Don't! 19:02.090 --> 19:06.170 O, ye Gods, give me courage... 19:06.380 --> 19:11.800 ...and strength to guard my father from machines! 20:11.950 --> 20:13.990 Fire!

They're organizing protests. 35:41.400 --> 35:44.490 There's fighting breaking out. 35:45.660 --> 35:48.240 This is our chance, Mr. President! 35:48.450 --> 35:53.460 We could make a case for treason here. 35:57.080 --> 35:59.550 Will the military support us? 35:59.750 --> 36:05.470 Some units are under Duke Red's influence, but I can handle that. 36:10.260 --> 36:13.270 We'll stir up the public with a few leaks. 36:13.480 --> 36:19.730 Once sentiment is against Duke Red, we'll arrest him for treason. 36:20.900 --> 36:24.530 Should military action be needed, you have... 36:24.740 --> 36:26.410 ...my approval. 36:35.080 --> 36:38.750 I suspect he was the guy who did in Laughton. 36:38.960 --> 36:42.960 What I don't understand is how they were connected. 36:43.170 --> 36:47.970 Just what was Laughton working on, anyway? 36:49.220 --> 36:51.260 What will you do? 36:51.510 --> 36:56.690 Laughton's already dead. I want, at least, to know why. 36:56.890 --> 36:59.980 My client deserves that. 37:18.040 --> 37:22.500 -Where's he going now? -Zone 2, I think. 37:22.710 --> 37:27.510 There's another level below this? How far down does this place go? 37:28.430 --> 37:32.760 Zone 2 is the Metropolis power plant area. 37:33.100 --> 37:37.480 Zone 3 below that is the sewage-handling facility. 37:37.810 --> 37:39.560 The sewage facility. 37:39.770 --> 37:45.650 You know, he was looking at a drain behind that factory. 37:47.820 --> 37:51.990 I'll report back and get permission to go below. 37:52.200 --> 37:56.910 I'll file a missing persons report on Kenichi too. 37:57.290 --> 38:01.040 -Hey! You're old for a petty thief! -Sorry! 38:02.710 --> 38:07.210 If anyone was wandering around down there... 38:07.420 --> 38:10.050 ...they'd notice him right away. 38:12.220 --> 38:14.260 How often are you down here? 38:14.510 --> 38:18.060 Twice a week, for maintenance on the robots. 38:28.280 --> 38:34.660 These are Albert ll types. It's their last check this week. 38:54.220 --> 38:56.100 Is anyone here? 39:03.690 --> 39:08.530 You never get used to the stink down here, though. 39:09.280 --> 39:13.660 No human could last a day at this work. 39:26.420 --> 39:28.550 -What is it? -Someone's there. 39:28.750 --> 39:30.420 Impossible! 39:31.420 --> 39:37.140 Hey!

They're criminals. 39:48.190 --> 39:50.440 How do we get out of here? 39:53.650 --> 39:57.950 Stop that, please! You'll hit the equipment! 40:07.250 --> 40:08.920 Are you okay? 40:25.810 --> 40:28.730 That guy's trying to kill us! 41:06.230 --> 41:08.770 Move! Move!

Fifi can't go through that gate. 42:41.950 --> 42:46.160 Thanks for everything, Fifi.

May I see your I.D.? 43:29.620 --> 43:31.750 I'm Rock of the Malduks! 43:35.330 --> 43:38.500 Demonstrations are forbidden during Celebration Week. 43:38.710 --> 43:42.220 Please disperse immediately. 43:43.970 --> 43:45.840 Kenichi? 43:48.470 --> 43:50.640 -Kenichi! -Hey! 43:52.890 --> 43:54.140 Pay up! 46:12.200 --> 46:16.000 -They're not here! -They have to be! Keep looking! 46:49.740 --> 46:52.660 Look over that way! 47:21.230 --> 47:24.770 What's the matter, Atlas? We're waiting for your signal! 47:24.980 --> 47:29.570 Not today. There are Malduks all over the place. 47:29.780 --> 47:33.910 -Was there a leak? -They're the reason. 47:35.070 --> 47:39.160 Rock's after them. Come on! 47:39.410 --> 47:43.920 He was at that factory. 47:57.560 --> 47:59.890 Who are you? Where did you come from? 48:00.100 --> 48:04.140 I'm Kenichi. I'm from Japan. My uncle's a private.... 48:04.350 --> 48:11.110 -A private what? -A journalist! I'm his assistant. 48:12.190 --> 48:14.030 Why is Rock after you? 48:14.280 --> 48:18.830 I don't know. He just started shooting at us. 48:19.030 --> 48:22.450 I don't trust them. Let's kill them. 48:23.000 --> 48:27.290 Cool it! We're not a gang. 48:27.500 --> 48:30.250 He says he's a journalist. 48:30.460 --> 48:37.800 If he can tell the world about Metropolis, that helps us! 48:38.010 --> 48:44.440 We can't waste time on nice uniforms and our pictures in the paper. 48:45.440 --> 48:47.980 The uniform I die in... 48:49.570 --> 48:52.610 ...will be the uniform of the revolution! 49:32.820 --> 49:34.490 Look at that! 49:34.690 --> 49:36.990 -She looks like an angel! -Yeah. 49:37.990 --> 49:39.910 An angel. 49:47.080 --> 49:51.500 Around here there's two or three families to a room. 49:52.630 --> 49:55.800 There are no schools and hardly any jobs. 49:56.050 --> 50:01.430 They survive on food handouts, but with the Ziggurat celebrations... 50:01.640 --> 50:03.560 ...that's all been stopped. 50:04.770 --> 50:08.270 What does "Ziggurat" mean? 50:09.400 --> 50:12.650 It's an ancient Babylonian tower. 50:12.860 --> 50:18.110 The Tower of Babel was one. You know what happened to that. 50:18.360 --> 50:22.530 The king's pride brought down the wrath of God on him. 50:23.870 --> 50:28.500 History repeats itself. The same thing will happen to Duke Red. 50:28.710 --> 50:33.090 But it won't be God this time. It'll be us. 50:58.570 --> 51:00.610 Is that wrong? 51:05.700 --> 51:11.670 No, it's fine. I was just thinking your hair's grown. 51:12.500 --> 51:16.130 What kind of hair do you like? 51:18.010 --> 51:20.630 Yours is fine right now. 51:21.720 --> 51:25.970 Let's get back to your writing. Next comes.... 51:26.180 --> 51:28.220 -Tima. -What? 51:28.970 --> 51:31.230 Tima. My name. 51:34.610 --> 51:37.730 So you remember! 51:38.440 --> 51:42.740 That's great! Now you'll start remembering more and more. 51:44.160 --> 51:47.740 Thank you, Kenichi. 51:55.210 --> 51:59.710 Oh, I forgot. I borrowed this from Atlas. 52:05.800 --> 52:07.560 Kenichi? 52:14.560 --> 52:18.650 So the army's with us? That helps a lot. 52:18.860 --> 52:21.690 The underground residents support us... 52:21.900 --> 52:26.370 ...but they're not sure if we've got the strength to win. 52:26.570 --> 52:31.330 The Malduks are to move when the Ziggurat celebrations end. 52:31.540 --> 52:37.330 We want you to crush them and storm the Ziggurat. 52:37.540 --> 52:44.010 The president will announce the arrest of Duke Red for treason. 52:44.220 --> 52:46.840 He will invoke his powers... 52:47.050 --> 52:50.930 ...to take control of the police and military. 52:51.930 --> 52:57.060 Then Metropolis will be governed by the rule of law. 52:57.610 --> 53:03.070 And we will participate as a proper political party. 53:07.870 --> 53:14.580 Of course, Atlas. The president will welcome you with open arms. 53:15.710 --> 53:18.330 The things I get myself into! 53:18.540 --> 53:21.800 I finally find that kid and look what happens! 53:22.000 --> 53:26.300 I'm sorry I could not have been of more assistance. 53:26.510 --> 53:28.590 What are you talking about? 53:28.800 --> 53:33.720 You've been lots of help! I don't know east from west here. 53:33.930 --> 53:38.600 Don't worry about Kenichi. He's tougher than he-- 53:42.020 --> 53:44.530 Cut that out! 53:50.070 --> 53:53.080 Just look at this, will you? 54:33.870 --> 54:39.830 "Watch out. Hide, robots. Coup d'état." 54:40.040 --> 54:43.130 What?! A coup d'état? 55:11.490 --> 55:13.570 Oh, man! 55:34.350 --> 55:37.470 Take a good look, Kenichi. 55:37.680 --> 55:41.560 Tell the whole world how angry we are. 56:00.500 --> 56:03.210 I'm all out of breath! 56:09.170 --> 56:13.880 We'd better get out of here, Pero. We can't do anything. 56:14.130 --> 56:16.850 Ask headquarters for backup. 56:17.010 --> 56:20.350 I'm not leaving you here! 56:20.600 --> 56:25.980 It's robots they're going to attack first! 56:27.190 --> 56:29.730 -I will be fine. -What? 56:30.400 --> 56:36.570 It is also my duty to ensure the safety of all visitors to our city. 56:36.780 --> 56:43.120 All right. Just don't stir anything up till I get back! 56:58.100 --> 57:02.390 Are you going to hold this gate all by yourself? 57:02.600 --> 57:08.060 Demonstrations are forbidden during Celebration Week. Please disperse. 57:08.310 --> 57:11.610 Sorry, we can't do that. Our time has come. 57:11.860 --> 57:17.110 Why must humanity settle matters by resorting to violence? 57:19.410 --> 57:23.910 Yes, we all know that. I agree it is a problem. 57:24.120 --> 57:28.040 It's our emotions. They vibrate, and all we can do... 57:28.250 --> 57:30.840 ...is move forward within that amplitude. 57:31.050 --> 57:34.970 But without affirming them, we can't survive. 57:59.240 --> 58:02.120 It's time for the uprising to begin. 58:02.370 --> 58:05.410 When should we release a statement? 58:06.250 --> 58:09.210 Things should be clear by about 1 p.m... 58:09.460 --> 58:12.920 ...so I suggest 3 or 3:30. 58:18.630 --> 58:21.430 What is it, minister? 58:22.560 --> 58:24.520 Hard to relax, eh? 58:24.720 --> 58:29.440 Yes, Mr. President.
