People call upon these nine so-called warriors.
However, for the sake of love,
For the sake of the weak who have forgotten how to fight,
Crossing over the tears of bloody waters,
In the midst of dreaming, running through the wilderness, oh yeah !
Cyborg warriors, fight for mankind !
Hmmm... I see....
It certainly is peaceful, isn't it ?
"Oh ! The transience of tranquility does not linger on forever !"
Oh no you don't !
Ouch ! Oh my...!
No cheating !
You caught me yet again, old chap.
You've only got yourself to blame for the mess you're in.
Why, there's an automobile headed right this way.
So someone's come to visit us, eh ? Now that's a rare occurrence.
It's okay !
Pull yourself together !
Professor Gilmore...
I - In Palneshia... The geothermal energy controller... Something most dreadful...!
- Cyborg 009 (2nd Series) Episode 15 -
The Terror of the Anomalous Vegetation
Script Writer Yoshida Yoshiaki
Director Miura Masanori
Something dreadful in Palneshia...
...a geothermal energy controller...
Just what do all these mean ?
Palneshia, eh ?
That's my favourite country !
It truly is a magnificent country !
As 006 had mentioned,
...the Republic of Palneshia is renowned for being the world's agricultural epicentre,
...producing an enormous abundance of a rich variety of crops.
What do you suppose is about to happen in Palneshia, Professor ?
With Professor Toita's sudden death not long ago, it's an absolute mystery.
It's tragic that such a valuable man is now gone;
Professor Toita was the world's most prominent agricultural scientist.
I knew that he was engaged in some sort of a research project overseas,
...but of all people, he just had to die...!
Perhaps he was being silenced due to some horrific secret he discovered,
...so he made his escape all the way to Japan.
And, what might this secret be ?
Professor, we're heading off for Palneshia !
All right then, go !
They look good for condolences.
People call them the messengers from hell.
However, for the sake of love,
For the sake of the weak...
...who have forgotten how to fight,
Launch the Dolphin 2 !
The time has come for us to vanquish darkness,
in order to announce the morning sunrise, oh yeah !
Cyborg warriors, fight for mankind !
Cyborg warriors, fight for mankind !!
The population of Palneshia is thirty million.
The country is about ten times the size of Japan.
That's going to make our investigations all the more difficult.
But are quite certain of the precise location where Professor Toita had fled Palneshia.
It's the Palneshian agricultural district !
Wow ! We're right over Palneshia !
Look at how rich the fields are !
Look at how vast the plateaus are !
If I had land as arable as these, my life might have been very different than it is now.
That's right, 006 was once a...
I used to be just an average, ordinary farmer.
This one's no good.
This one's no good either !
None of these are any good !
Please, great ancestors, make them grow !
I beg of you, please let it rain !
Times were tough back then....
006, let's forget all about our troubled past, okay ?
Hence, the cyborg warriors began their investigations all throughout Palneshia,
searching for clues that would unlock this baffling mystery.
My goodness, this is a splendid looking one.
Oh my !
What's the matter ?
It may just be my imagination, but this one seems awfully peculiar looking to me.
Perhaps if I probe in a little deeper...?
What nonsense are you bickering on about ?
You really don't understand anything at all, do you ?
But I said nothing of the sort...!
Look here, Gumbo ! Are you telling us that crops shouldn't be overcultivated ?!
Well, don't hold us responsible if you incur the wrath of God by muttering such nonsense !
Oh, come on ! You know that's not what I mean...!
I've been farming these crops for well over fifty years,
...and even up until now, there has never been any soil as unusual as this !
What's so unusual about it ?
I demand an explanation !
Well I... I'd tell you if I could, but...
See what I mean ?
Now, now, everyone...!
How do these look to you ?
It's too difficult to determine whether a good crop or a bad crop will yield !
See ? Take a good look at them !
Are you saying that every so often, God likes to play practical jokes on you ?
No. No matter how you view this situation, this is not a practical joke conducted by God !
Oh, shut up, you worthless old geezer !
We're talking about the results of our research, you -- !
No !!!
Please ! Don't hit my grandfather !
Wait !
It isn't good for fellow farmers to quarrel amongst each other.
Who might you gentlemen be, pray tell ?
We're farmers.
If you really are farmers, then please try to understand the predicament I'm in !
I understand quite well.
Let's fall back for the time being, shall we ?
Now go along and play, Bongo.
But how on earth is this even remotely possible ?
You wouldn't happen to know nothing 'bout a geothermal energy controller, wouldja ?
Why, has something happened to this so-and-so controller ?
If such a thing exists, then I'm quite sure...
...that the only place that would have it is there.
I believe it's called "The Future Agricultural Sciences Centre."
"The Future Agricultural Sciences Centre ?"
What in sam hill is that ?
It's some sort of a research laboratory managed by the government.
Although I don't know much about it,
I've heard that they're doing research in finding ways of improving farming.
It's a government run institution, eh ?
But then, things started getting really strange;
About a year ago, everyone who ever came close to it has disappeared somehow or other !
What ?! They've all disappeared ?!
Now that's awfully serious !
That's why the institute is a very frightening place to us farmers.
We'd better notify the rest of the boys 'bout this one.
Yes, indeed we shall !
You've done quite well pinpointing a lead like that.
Our adversaries' headquarters is the agricultural research centre.
Mister Gumbo here has told us everything he knows about it.
Is something happening at the research centre ?
Mister Gumbo, you have nothing to worry about.
Pretty soon, we'll find out what mysteries are there.
Anyway, for the time being, we should plan out a course of action.
Grandfather !
Hear this, you eight unidentified entities !
We have abducted the boy named Bongo.
What ?!
If you don't leave Palneshia immediately,
the boy's life will be in jeopardy !
B - Bongo !
All I did was tell them what everybody else knows !
Oh, why did this have to happen to me ?!
Mister Gumbo, we'll take the task of rescuing Bongo.
003, we'll be counting on you to guard Mister Gumbo.
Yes.
Help me !
Grandfather !
Grandfather, help me, please !

Have we finally made our way to the enemy's base of operations ?
The temperature of the ground has risen quite considerably, hasn't it ?
Now that you've mentioned it, it is rather hot.
I imagine it has something to do with that geothermal energy controller.
O - O - Oi, Joe ! Where the devil are you going ?!
I'm going to enter through the front door.
May I help you gentlemen ?
We're people who are interested in the future of agriculture,
and we were wondering if we could possibly take a tour around the research centre.
Oh, well - well !
I am the director of this institute.
Please, come right in.
This is incredible !
What sort of research is being conducted here ?
Well, we are trying to discover new methods...
...as to the advancement of the future of agricultural sciences, so to speak.
We have recently incorporated the use of computers in our research.
And now, we have been conducting studies...
...that were never before thought possible in organic farming.
In otherwords, our project has started to apply human knowledge...
...into areas that at one point could not occur intrinsically in nature.
Gee, that sounds like one heck of a project there.
Right this way, please.
You fell right into our trap !
Damn !
They just keep coming out one after another !
Damn ! At this rate, we'll all be done for !
I know !
I'll blast a missile into that hole over there.
Let's split up to find Bongo !
We were only following orders...!
But, by whom ?!
They just keep falling into trap after trap !
Could this be the geothermal energy controller ?
That was a piece of cake.
Weeeell, jolly good, old chap !
Where's Bongo ?
We couldn't find him.
He's up here !
What ? Huh ?
So that's it ! Now I get it !
You're the ones who were manipulating the plants !
So you little rascal, you finally realised that, have you ?
Well you're too late ! Get them !
Just who in blazes are you ?!
I'm Cyborg 009 !
You cheeky little brat !
Come back here !
Here they come again !
Take another step closer and I'll kill you !
You worthless old codger !
Gosh darn it !
This is where the real battle begins !
This is where the real battle begins !!
B - Bongo !
Bongo is now my slave.
It is useless for you to even try to save him.
Leave this place immediately !
If you take another step closer to me, I will be forced to kill myself.
There's one of those vines on top of Bongo's head !
All right, I'll rescue Bongo !
It's those vines again. I'll just have to rush through them.
I'll self destruct if it means having to kill all of you !
Everyone, Run !!!
We grew overconfident in our attempts to freely manipulate the workings of mother nature.
Director, could we have been wrong all this time ?
That monster might have just been a warning to us all.
Doing research is good,
however, farmers are the ones who are best suited to handle mother nature.
Even in this calm and tranquil countryside,
there is true abundance of wealth.
Mother nature has once again brought smiles back to the faces of those who lover her,
and the cyborg warriors have left their mark within the hearts of the Palneshian citizens.
Good bye !

Script Writer Sakai Akiyoshi
Director Hirokawa Kazuyuki
I'll move my queen over here, like so.
Hmmm... Well....
Nothing's going on right now.
What a bummer. I'm itchin' fer some action !
Whenever we have time for ourselves, this proves that everything's at peace.
We should be happy about that.
And thanks to that, I can spend time to study up on my culinary skills.
I made some delicious soup for us all.
006, please be a little more careful.
Yes, do be careful, old chap.
007, you're cheating yet again, aren't you ?
Cripes ! You caught me !
I give up ! No matter how many times I play against 001, I'll never be able to beat him !
Well, have you found anything noteworthy in there ?
Not really. The best I've come across so far is a gang of hooligans duking it out with one another.
Here.
Let's see here...
"Yesterday, a territorial dispute between rival gangs erupted in New York City's West Side.
"The ensuing brawl between the Black Shark gang and the Blue Rose gang...
"...resulted in a large number of casualties."
The Blue Rose gang, huh ?
Boy, that brings back memories.
I don't know who these 'Blue Rose' or 'Black Shark' rubbish are...
...but they're probably nothing but a bunch of worthless blighters anyway !
Hmph !
Everyone would be better off if the whole lot of them were wiped clear off the face of the earth !
W - Why the devil did you do that for, Jet ?!
I dare you to repeat yourself !
Jet, Britain didn't mean to say anything that would hurt you !
Right ? Isn't that so ?
Er... Y - Yes !
Bullshit !
I bet everyone in this friggin' house looks down at me !
What are you talking about, Jet ?
Quit jerkin' me around !
Come on, get a grip of yourself, 002 !
Hmph !
Albert, you're just a lousy pinko-commie fugitive from the eastern block !
What was that ?!
Britain !
You're nothing but a third-rate thespian !
Joe's a no-good delinquent and a bastard !
Stop it ! You're opening up old wounds !
For your information, I have old wounds like the rest of you, and mine's in New York's West Side !
But those comments I made weren't in any way meant to slander you at all...!
They sure in hell sounded that way to me !
Sure, I grew up in a lousy neighbourhood...
Sure, all the dregs might be gathered there...
But all my old buddies were some of the nicest guys I ever met !
You're being a little too harsh on everyone...!
If we didn't have faith in one another, it would be the end of us !
Yeah, it sure in hell would be !
Ouch !!
What was that all about ?!
Jet...!
I...
We know, we know, we know....
Natalie, soon we'll be able to see each other again.
West Side.
Man, I can't get enough of this stench !
Get outta my sight, Jet !
Let's go !
It's the fuzz ! Scram !
Back then, I made an awful mistake of stabbing Mac, the head honcho of the Black Sharks.
While I was trying to get away, I bumped into the Black Ghost.
This place hasn't changed a bit !
Everything's just like the way they were a long time ago.
H - Help me !!
Take this !
Cool it.
Son of a bitch...!
Kick his ass !
We'll get you for this !
You all right, kid ?
Jet ? Why, you're Jet Rink !
I knew it ! It really is you !
It's me ! Rhett !
Huh ? Rhett ?! Is that you ?!
You're alive !
Boy, you sure grew quite a bit there, pal !
What took you so long, Rhett ?
I bumped into someone we haven't seen in a long time.
Well if it isn't our old pal Jet !
Long time no see, Georgie !
You lived through all that ?!
You betcha !
We hadn't heard anything about you since then, so we all got worried about you !
Right, Natalie ?
Natalie...?
Now that Jet's back with us, we're a hundred times stronger than we were before !
That's right ! Now we'll be the most powerful gang on the streets again !
We're not about to let those Black Shark jerks take over the whole of West Side !
Did everything that was written up in the papers really happen ?
Yeah, these days, those guys pretty much run the whole place at night.
Ever since you disappeared, Jet, the entire city just completely went off balance !
Everything's totally out of whack.
All that's left is terror.
We're all that's left of the Blue Rose gang now.
And there's only so much we can put up with.
C'mon, help us out, Jet !
Help us out, man !
Natalie ?
How have you been ?
If you survived, then why...?
Why didn't you even contact me ?
Uh... Well, it's a...
Go away...!
Even if you wanted to come back here, it would have been better if you never came back at all !
But why ?
All thanks to your return, everyone's desire to fight has been rekindled !
I just don't want anyone to die anymore !
Well, we can't let this city go to waste !
We grew up here !
You remember, don't you ? Back when...
Please, let him have some of my blood !
I also have the same blood type as he does !
So please, let us donate some of our blood to him !
Natalie...!
Ever since I came back, I'm not gonna let anyone do anything to harm us.
P - Please forgive me...!
Next time, I'll make sure those Blue Rose bastards will be...
That won't be necessary.
Failure will not be tolerated !
P - Please, spare me of my life at least !
Everyone, listen up !
We are here to defeat all opposing organisations here in West Side...
...in order for us to become the world's greatest and most powerful foundation of evil !
Anyone who dares to defy us must be wiped out completely !
Here's to you, Jet !
Thanks, everyone !
Cheers !
With you back, Jet, this makes us a heck of a lot more powerful !
We're counting on you, Jet !
What's the matter, Georgie ?
Why the long face ?
Did something happen ?
No. It's nothing.
It sure is great to be back with the old gang !
You bet it is !
Hey Jet, wanna dance ?
Sure thing !
I've always wanted to show you my new dance steps.
Hey fellahs, the Sharks, they're...!
What's wrong ?!
They're messing up our turf !
What's that ?!
We'll get 'em this time !
Let's follow Jet, guys !
Yeah !
Jet...!
Ever since Jet came back, you seem to have gotten a lot happier.
But...!
Natalie, I...
For a long time now, you were always on my...
Georgie, if you don't hurry, you won't be able to catch up with everyone...
Well, I'd better get going...
I'm so sorry, Georgie...

Good job, Jet my man !
You did it, bro' !
Hurray !
Way to go, bro' !
Let's hear it for Jet, guys !
Georgie, the emperor of darkness has something he wants talk to you about.
A - All right...!
Here we are. Get going.
Where's the emperor ?
I'm right here.
Georgie, I hear Jet's back in town.
You know Jet ?! Who the hell are you, anyway ?!
You'll find out soon enough.
A long time ago, he used to be my worst enemy.
He's the kind of person you'd try to kill, but he just won't stay dead.
So, whadd'ya say ? Wouldja like to help me out ?
What ?!
But I...
In exchange for your cooperation, I'll allow your Blue Rose gang to persist.
You fellahs will be granted the freedom to do whatever you guys want to.
But if you defy me...
...this is what's gonna happen !
Rhett !
Somebody, help me !
Come back here, you !
We gotcha now !
W - Who the $@*% are you ?!
We're travelers.
Don't $@*% with us ! Just where the $@*% do think you are, anyway ?
He'll be all right. They just missed a vital spot.
J - Jet...!
As a result of Rhett's injuries, we were finally able to track you down, Jet.
Thank goodness for that, eh ?
Are you still upset with me over those comments I made ?
No, that's not it.
I just don't believe that my pal Georgie would sell out on us like that.
I don't believe it either, but...
A - Are you calling me a liar ? I saw everything with my own two eyes !
That's right ! Rhett literally risked his life back there, you know.
Jet !
We just got word in from Georgie.
He says that he wants you to come over to Central Park alone.
It's a trap !
Jet, you mustn't go !
He's right, Jet.
Or are you saying that you'd rather be with your old chum ?
Knock it off !
Quit talking crap about Georgie !
Georgie's not that kind of person !
Jet, you don't suppose he's...?
I'm going.
What ?!
Jet...!
I want to believe in him... No ! I do believe in him !
Don't go !
You'll be killed !
Shall we accompany you ?
Nobody's coming with me !
If anything happens to him, I'll never be able to forgive myself !
Jet !!
Are we just going to let him be, Joe ?
Please, help him !
002 really has a lot of faith in him.
Could it be...?
Rhett, could you tell us where the Black Shark's hideout is ?
Yo, Georgie !
It's me !
Where are you ?
Oh, so there you are.
What's up ?
Well, just between the two of us, there's something I want to talk to you about.
Is that all...?
Jeez, you're gullible !
The fact of the matter is...
...I'd like you to die !!
Take this !
Damn you, you wise-ass !
All right, emperor of darkness, what the hell have you done with Georgie ?!
C'mon, out with it !
Don't think that you can get rid of me that easily !
What ?
You're Mac !
It's been a while, hasn't it Jet ?
You're... alive ?!
I sold myself over to that organization in order to defeat you.
I became a cyborg and waited for you to return.
And now the time has come for me to get my revenge on you !
Come on out, fellahs !
Get him !
W - Who...?!
Oh... 009 !
Jet, your instincts were right !
Georgie was locked up inside the Black Shark's hangout !
Jet !
Georgie !
Jet...!
I'm glad to see that you're all right, Georgie !
Look out !
Damn, I messed up !
G - Georgie ?
Get a hold of yourself, Georgie !
N - Natalie...!
Georgie, you're...?
Damn it, we're going to get you for this, emperor of darkness !
Wait !
He's mine !
Come on, Jet !
Let's settle the score once and for all !
Let's go !
There !
Oi, did you see that ? What in blazes is he ?
He wasn't even fazed by the paralyser !
Crap !
Say your prayers, Jet !
It's curtains for you !
Watch out, 002 !
Damn it, let go of me !
007 !
Jet, now's your chance !
Jet !
Georgie...!
Jet... don't die...!
N - Natalie, she...
This man needs an immediate blood transfusion.
Is there anyone around here who has the same blood type as he does ?
Yes !
Jet, you have the same blood type too, don't you ?
She's right. In the past, Jet got a blood transfusion from Georgie and Natalie.
Please... the sooner, the better.
What's the matter, Jet ?
Are you telling us that you don't want to ?
What's wrong with you ? Say something !
I don't have a single drop of blood coursing through my body to even offer anyone anymore.
That's because... I'm a cyborg !
So that's the kind of person you are, huh ?
Georgie ended up this way 'cause he was worried about you, man !
'Cause of you, man !
Jet, what kind of a person are you ?!
Y - You've got it all wrong ! Jet's a -- !
Don't, 007...!
Jet, you're a jerk ! I've lost all respect for you !
We don't need a coldhearted son-of-a-bitch like you hanging around us !
Natalie, thanks a lot !
I only did what was obvious.
Get well soon, okay ?
Still, I'm glad to hear that Jet's all right.
Don't even talk about Jet anymore !
I never want to see his face again !
Why ? What the heck happened ?
I never knew he was such a cruel and heartless person.
I'm really sorry, Georgie.
Hey, I should be the one making all the apologies around here.
I was the one who put everyone through so much trouble....
This is probably all for the best.
I'd rather have them go on hating my guts than to let them know that I'm a cyborg.
Has everything been taken care of ?
Yeah.
I understand just how you feel. I imagine it must have been extremely painful for you.
It's better this way.
At least now I've severed all the ties I've had to my past.
But at the cost of losing all of your old friends and such.
So what ? I got all my friends right here with me !
Indeed, for all eternity !
Right this very moment, 002 is feeling the warmth that true friendship brings.
To allow old wounds to linger on in your heart is something only the weak engage in.
002 tells himself that he must become even more stronger than he ever was before.
