FORCE OF ONE
Excellent work, Captain Tylor! You're a hero to the Force!
With the empress our prisoner, the battle is already won!
Right, Admiral Mifune?
Anyway, once we have your report, our forces...
...will launch an all-out sneak attack on the Raalgon Empire.
After all, the empress is our ace in the hole.
Whatever happens, we won't lose!
You're going to use her as a trump card?
A sneak attack?!
So, would you please present me to Her Highness?
I sent her home.
What do you mean, "you sent her home"?
I mean I sent the empress back to the Raalgon Empire.
Tha- That's impossible! You didn't bring her back here?!
Right.
You WHAT?! Why, you!
Admiral!
Out of my way!
Captain Tylor, tell us the reason!
Why did you send her back?!
She said she wanted to go back.
So I decided it'd be best to send her back.
That was your decision as a front line officer?!
People should act the way they think is best.
Helps to cut out stress from your life.
And you didn't even consider the consequences?!
Right. Do your best and let the rest take care of itself, I say.
This special court-martial of the United Planets Space Force...
...has reached its verdict on Justy Ueki Tylor!
It's not fair.
First, he is stripped of his rank of lieutenant commander...
...and removed from command of the destroyer Soyokaze.
In addition, for disrupting the plans...
...for a United Planets Space Force operation:
Death by firing squad!
It's not fair.
Sentence to be carried out tomorrow at 12:00 hours.
It's not fair.
It's not fair!
Did you say firing squad, sir?!
It'll be carried out tomorrow at 12:00 hours.
You're all finally flee of that incompetent captain!
Lieutenant Yamamoto, you'll have command of the Soyokaze.
Well, people, sit back and enjoy waiting for tomorrow!
I've done it. The day I've been waiting for has come!
I'm finally the captain!
Yes... My becoming captain means Tylor has to!
I never thought it'd come to this.
My God...
Let's just say it! The punishment's too severe!
I don't care if it's the high command's verdict. I don't buy it!
But, headquarters has already made its decision.
Nothing we say now will make any difference.
So, you'd prefer to stand by and let the captain be killed?!
That's not what I said!
But if we don't do something, the captain will be!
Commander, you know it as well as I do.
The verdict of a court-martial...
...is final!
Look at Her Imperial Highness!
In answer to our prayers, she has been returned to us unharmed!
I tell you all, fate is moving with us!
I say now is the time to gather all of our forces...
...and smash the foolish United Planets Space Force once and for all!
Wait!
Forgive us, Your Highness.
Now is not the time to engage the United Planets!
Why, you!
Leave them!
Let them speak.
Wars are won only when you are sure of your enemy...
...sure of the timing, and sure of yourself.
Fight now, and you risk spilling much of our own blood needlessly.
You're saying now isn't a good time to fight.
Aye!
One moment, please, Highness.
Only they are against this war.
Don't listen to the opinions of this fringe group!
Hear me, all of you! Though Her Highness has returned unharmed...
...don't forget that the United Planets wounded her heart gravely!
For Her Highness' sake, we must fight this war!
For Her Highness' sake!
Death to the United Planets!
Death to them!
Damn you to hell, Wang!
Dom, help me. What should I do?
Aim!
Fire!
It's not just a dream.
In six hours, the captain will be!
Not here, either.
Where is the captain being held?!
You want to know how to stop this war?
Yes. Our fleet will soon be across their defense line.
If I don't halt the attack now, nothing will stop this war.
As you say, Highness.
I want to do something before that happens.
Highness, if you want to stop this war...
...then find the courage to say what is truly in your heart.
Say what's in my heart?
Yes. Move as your heart tells you to...
...and let fate take care of the rest.
Do as my heart tells me and let fate take care of the rest?
Yes. Do what you can do...
...and then wait for heaven's judgment.
I'd like to thank you, Dom.
Things become so clear when I speak with you.
Do as my heart tells me and let fate take care of the rest.
First, to do what needs to be done!
Tell me, Captain! Tell me what you'd do if you were here now!
Right. Do your best and let the rest take care of itself, I say.
Commander, what are you going to do?
Found him!
We can't let you go by yourself, Harumi.
We're going to save the captain, too!
Things will work out, somehow.
That's what the commander said.
This dropship's cockpit is reserved for me, okay?
Lieutenant!
You'd better not forget about us!
No way we're letting the Marines get all the glory on this one!
I just figured we were the only ones...
...with the guts to take on the brass!
All of you...
I'm not the only one. The captain worked his way into all our hearts.
Not going, Lieutenant?
I... I believe in the high command's decision.
Hm... Worrying about everything isn't healthy, you know.
Just two more hours.
Right, down the next corridor.
Hurry!
The crew of the Soyokaze?!
Bring Tylor here! We're executing him now!
You wish to speak with me?
Wang, as Goza the 16th...
...Empress of the Holy Raalgon Empire, I command you!
Recall our forces immediately!
Recall our forces, you say?
But suppose, Highness, just suppose...
...that someone close to you wishes to take over the Empire?
He could use this to rally those who don't believe in you.
Shake the loyalty of those who do...
...and rip the entire empire apart!
Would that person be you?!
Oh, no! Not at all!
I'm simply speaking hypothetically.
Like everyone else, I'm just thinking of your best interests.
Please observe, Highness.
They believe in you, Highness, and are preparing to fight.
Do you know what will happen to the loyalty filling their hearts...
...if you recall them now?
Their love for you will turn to distrust...
...and that could plunge this nation into chaos.
And, in a time of war, a nation in confusion...
...would be easy prey for an enemy invasion.
In any case, the empire you inherited...
...now stands at a critical point.
Highness, do you still order our troops to withdraw?
The avalanche has already begun. No one can stop it now.
Damn it! Where are they hiding him?!
They might have carried out the sentence early.
If only we knew where they're going to do it.
The Ho-Oh's too big to search now!
Firing squads are usually conducted in the shooting range in block 3.
At least, that's what I heard in the Academy.
Lieutenant Yamamoto!
I hate to admit it, but it looks like...
...the captain worked his way into my heart as well.
Go on, Highness. Order them all to fight!
The times are already shifting in my favor!
Hurry!
Goza the 16th, Empress of the Holy Raalgon Empire, now commands you!
In my name, our empire shall launch an all-out attack...
...upon the accursed United Planets Space Force!
It's done. Even Her Highness!
Highness...
Attack at once!
Captain!
Take aim!
F...
What's happening?!
Emergency! The Raalgon main fleet has warped out at point LN-2!
They've broken through our outer defense line and are advancing!
Tha- That's impossible!
The Raalgon moved first?!
Enemy main fleet is closing with our forces...
...at one-half light speed!
Number of ships estimated in excess of 20,000!
Presence of the enemy flagship Melva is confirmed among them!
There's no way we can fight them now!
We don't have the empress to play as a trump card!
And I'm telling you we can't run, either!
And how do we fight them?! Tell me your plan, Admiral Mifune!
If you don't have a plan, then tell me how...
...you plan to take responsibility for all this!
Well, then, let's hear your brilliant ideas!
You go first!
No, you go first!
No, you first, Admiral!
What are you getting so excited about?
Captain!
If the Raalgon are coming, then leave this to me!
Give me command of all our forces and we will not lose!
Justy Ueki Tylor, age twenty, swears this here and now!
Give you command...
...of all our forces?!
Well, Tylor was held captive by the enemy.
He could have information vital to our forces.
I don't care!
But the Soyokaze engaged the Melva single-handedly...
...and managed to come back here in one piece!
I don't care! I don't care!
All right, then answer me this:
Has anyone else in our fleet ever successfully engaged the Melva?!
Uh, well...
Enemy fleet has broken through our last defense line!
There are times when we're generous.
We're going to grant your request...
...and give you a chance to clear your name.
Along with returning your command to you...
...you have special authority to repel the Raalgon attack!
You mean, the captain...
You're not going to kill him?!
Stuffy in there.
Captain...
Captain!
Mr. Tylor! Mr. Tylor!
Captain!
Just like you said, Captain.
Huh? Did I say something?
