When you watch television, brighten up the room and watch it from a distance.
This city is constantly surrounded by white smoke.
Steam flows out from everywhere, hiding the city within a thick cloud.
No other energy source, other than coal, could be emracted from this land.
For this reason, in this world,
the advancement of steam powered engine technology took a quantum leap.
Taking cover in the white web, numerous thieves
and phantoms have come out of the woodwork.
The people, who live in the darkness and the white smoke,
have branded them disturbers of the peace.
We address this city surrounded by the smoke as... Steam City.
Steam Detectives
I’m gazing at it, I’m feeling it
I’m being watched over by your heart
No matter what's going on, the night you smile
it’s a million dollar night
The echoing footsteps carve out the rhythm of sorrow
The moment I stepped into the white, mysterious maze
Oh set up the game
Even if I’m confused by tricks and I’m frightened
it’ll probably be all right
Everything is a transient illusion, only the two of us are real
I won't give up, I won't abandon hope
I won't be broken until the end
No matter what's going on, the night you smile
it’s a million dollar night
Miss Ling Ling, please be vey careful.
Oh, I’ll be all right.
Everything’s about fixed, and I’m only going shopping.
Could you close this for me?
How happy she seems to be.
The Final Plan
Ouch!
You've been caught red-handed committing larceny.
Stop struggling!
We've spotted the wanted criminal Dr. Guilty on the run!
Currently fleeing in a vehicle through district 20!
Yo, pops! What's the meaning of this?
Just sit and wait there! Got it?
I’m not going to get caught.
The research I’ve spent many years on is about to be completed!
Hey! He's alive!
Excuse me. Let me through!
Are you all right?
You're...
Say, you're...
Somebody call a hospital emergency room!
it’ll be all right. An ambulance will be here soon.
Oh, what a kind nurse you are.
You'll be spending a little bit of time with me.
Ling Ling!
Why is Ling Ling...
Guilty has escaped in a hostage's car!
Requesting assistance from Shadowbolt Mark I!
Your bleeding is severe. It needs to be treated immediately.
Shut up!
Ling Ling was... what?
I understand. I’m on my way.
Has something happened to her?
She's been kidnapped.
Here we go, Mr. Goriki!
I’m counting on you, Shadowbolt Mark III.
Buy me some time just for a little while.
Now that it's come to this, I need to go to my last resort...
it transformed into a megamaton?
Goriki!
Go, Goriki!
Narutaki!
it plans to drag Goriki into the reservoir.
Shadowbolt Mark I!
Dr. Meyard!
I rushed over here, having heard it's Dr. Guilty.
We're counting on you, Shadowbolt Mark I!
Now, Goriki!
it’s Ling Ling's car.
This has to be his hideout.
Surround the mountain villa!
Yes, sir!
Ling Ling!
Get a hold of yourself!
Ambulance!
Guilty!
I’m arresting you!
Even if I die, a second, a third Dr. Guilty will definitely show up.
Definitely.
He intends to die!
Take cover!
Duck!
Farewell, gentlemen.
What a magnificent finish.
Speaking as a scientist, we lost a great intellect.
She hit her head pretty hard,
so she'll be hospitalized two to three days for close examinations.
I won.
Huh?
I have more roses than you do.
Aren't they awesome?
I lost...
Who sent these to you?
So, it's not you, after all.
Huh?
I don't know who sent these, either.
it seems they were delivered while I was being examined in the exam room.
I see...
Hey, there's a card.
Damn it, who the hell is he?
What? Gelhart Von Halt?
Detective Onigawara, that name!
it’s Dr. Guilty's real name!
That can't be! It's a horrible joke!
Just who would do something like this?
According to a nurse, that person was wearing a black raincoat
and had bandages wrapped around the face.
Bandages on the face?
I highly doubt Dr. Guilty is alive after that explosion.
But there's a possibility it's camouflage.
Not only didn't we find a body, but analyzing any tracks after that explosion is difficult.
At any rate, we need to take precautions against that person in the bandages.
All right. I’ll make repairing Shadowbolt's arm my utmost priority.
Please do so.
Your creator's a vey sore loser.
Snow... No wonder it's so cold.
At this hour...
I wonder if I imagined it.
Narutaki! It's me! Meyard! What happened?
Goriki...
Goriki!
Sir, are you injured?
it can't be! Goriki's supposed to be stronger!
Goriki...
Narutaki!
Doctor, what happened to Shadowbolt?
Why won't it respond to the remote control?
it’s Dr. Guilty.
Guilty?
You mentioned you saw Shadowbolt's body give off some light, correct?
Yes. It gave off some bluish white light.
it started before Dr. Halt took the name ''Dr. Guilty.''
He was researching a special control signal that magnified a megamaton's abilities.
Magnify a megamaton's abilities?
If he completed the research...
Goriki might lose.
Fire!
Did that do it?
Goriki!
Detective Onigawara!
Doctor, what in the world is...
I’ll explain later. Detective Onigawara, look for the operator!
Operator? So, it's Dr. Guilty?
Hurry.
Look for the operator! Look out especially for a guy wrapped in bandages!
Yes, sir!
If they fight here, casualties will increase.
Narutaki, lure Shadowbolt into the stadium!
Goriki!
This is a disadvantageous situation, Narutaki.
Narutaki... If there's even a little opening...
Go ahead and destroy Shadowbolt.
Doctor!
Shadowbolt's turned into a menace.
If it's not destroyed, then Goriki will...
no, Steam City will be destroyed.
I understand.
Detective Onigawara!
Headquarters got a report stating a blimp was stolen!
idiot! This is no time for that!
The culprit is a man wrapped in bandages.
What?
The ship number matches. It's that blimp!
I’ll go!
Sleep
Mark I...
Stopped...
I’m sorry, Shadowbolt Mark I...
Where's he off to? Toward the dam?
Could it be to Guilty's hideout?
Dr. Guilty! You're completely surrounded!
it looks like that tree is the missile's control panel.
Step away!
Oh, no! The launch mechanism's been activated.
We have two minutes!
Stop the missile, Guilty!
That voice...
Ling Ling!
This body definitely does belong to a woman named Ling Ling.
But I’m Dr. Guilty.
What's the meaning of this?
At that moment, I transplanted all of my memories into this woman's brain.
I did this to get revenge against the fools who would never admit
to the brilliance of my science... Of my inventions.
Unfortunately, all my memories will disappear in a few minutes.
it’s frustrating not being able to see you all die, but I guess that can't be helped.
The missile will strike Steam City.
in another minute, the city and its people will be obliterated.
Stop pulling a foolish stunt!
The deactivation key! If we have the key, we can stop the launch!
Deactivation key?
Ling Ling!
Don't shoot!
Sorry.
Doctor, the key!
Damn it!
Hey, Narutaki!
Goriki can take something like that, right?
Hey, say something!
Goriki's all right, isn't he, Narutaki?
Narutaki...
What happened to me?
Hey, Narutaki!
I can't breathe!
To be continued
in my ordinary, everyday life
The oasis in my heart that I’d almost forgotten
All the mistakes should not have been made in vain
So you can have a little pride in who you are now
Preview of the next episode
I’m feeling much better.
The dazed feeling in my head is gone, and I should be released soon.
The noise in this city...
There's something different about it from usual.
Sir... In the worst case scenario, Goriki may be impossible to repair.
Lang Lang! Please look after these two!
