Through a rift in the clouds the sun shines down
Glaringly staining the wet asphalt
Nearly forgotten dream will awaken again
Bringing everlasting courage deeply into my eyes
JUST beyond time I want to see dream
Embracing blue skies that open my heart
JUST beyond time embracing dreams
More than now MOTTO! I want to shine
It's the hot-shoe shuffle today all right!
Yeah, they're all taking part in the big warehouse bust down at the harbor!
Oh, is it that day already?
What's the Chief doing there?
Don't tell me he's gonna lead the bust himself? That'll be worth seeing!
You know this is all part of the ''clean up the city'' policy!!!
that the mayor's pushing!
You don't say!
Hey, I don't see Bonaparte anywhere!
Nor have I seen Al and Leona!
Bonaparte has just had an engine refit!!!
so I guess they've been driving around all morning testing it!
That means they're probably terrorizing some poor defenseless terrorists!
You said it!
This is outrageous!
I object to this violent abuse of our rights!
This is outright harassment by the Tank Police!
Yeah, Tank Police harassment!
Am I really hearing this?
What about this truck stuffed with illegal weapons?
How do you explain--
I've never seen a truck that big!
It's crushing our truck!
It's destroying my evidence!
Let's get after it, Al!
And what do we do with this lot?
I guess we'll just have to leave them here!
You can't just leave us here!
Give us back our tax money!
Where the hell are they?
Something's going on!
Maybe they're just calling up extra officers for the bust!
But that lot were rookies just out of police school!
Look, Leona, it belongs to the Dainippon Giken Research Corporation!
We're still in our jurisdiction now!
I'm gonna have to contact the Captain!
I'm ordering you to pull over and stop now!
I said pull over!
No one takes the Tank Police seriously anymore!
- Hang on to your socks, Al! - Leona, no!
Uh, what's he playing at?
Brenten here! What do you want?
Al, where the hell have you guys got to and just how long do you plan--
What truck out of control?
It's on Route 1 08, heading south at full speed!!!
on a direct course for the city center!
It's already crushed and destroyed 1 6 cars--
Make that 1 7 cars!
Do you have any information at your end, Captain?
Sorry, can't help and there's not a goddamn soul here!!!
except Four-Eyes and myself!
We need to set up a roadblock as quickly as possible and--
Captain, that monster truck is destroying everything in its path--
cars, people, everything!
And it's even managed to crush Bonaparte!
Captain, what--
Captain, Captain!
Our communication's down! The radio's kaput!
Leona! Leona!
Chief!!
The Tank Police are off this case, do you hear, Brenten?
Off the case, Chief?
All going to plan? Excellent news!
I'm just off to a meeting!
I'll contact you later and I look forward to hearing all the details!
Everything's checked and ready, sir!
That's what I like to hear!
Dimerium double two-three!
- Is that some kind of joke? - It's no joke!
The trapped trailer is full of canisters containing Dimerium double two-three!!!
a substance so explosive it's classed as a type A hazard!
I've just been speaking to the mayor!
She has ordered an immediate evacuation!!!
in a radius of ten miles round the highway!
So that explains why everyone including the rookies were called out!
Yes! We need every available hand to help with the evacuation!
It's getting to be just like a bad disaster movie!
A stolen trailer stuffed with the most dangerous explosives known to man!!!
heading straight for the city center!
There could be the most almighty bang, if we screw up, that is!
Nam! I'll kill you!
A group of advanced cybernet guerrillas could be behind this!
They've hacked into the armed forces satellite navigation system!!!
and they're transmitting the information to the truck!
Why are they always one step ahead of us?
Chief,do we know who's driving the truck?
No one's driving the goddamn thing!
The ejector seat was launched when all the systems on the truck went automatic!
You're saying it's unmanned?
The mayor has commandeered the whole computer operation...
at Dainippon Giken Research Corporation.
They're trying to deactivate the truck's computer system...
so that it'll stop responding to the guerrillas!
It's just occurred to me, where are Al and Leona?
Er, well, er, they're in pursuit of the truck!
What's that?
An accidental coincidence but they should be back any minute now!
They'd better be!
All members of your Tank Division are ordered to stand down and stand by!
But, Chief, how can you?
Believe it or not, I haven't the guts to send you on a kamikaze operation!
Damn! Now I can't go ahead with the harbor bust either!!!
and my gut's giving me hell!
Tell me, what have I done to deserve this?
Er, Chief, I have to talk to you! Can you spare a minute?
What the hell is it now?
Er, in private, sir, please!
What's all this about, Brenten?
It won't take long, sir! I promise you!
What's--
Just bear with me, sir! Thank you, sir!
Off your butts, boys! We're moving out!
Hey! Open up!
Brenten! What the hell do you think you're doing!
You're not getting away with this!
Brenten!
Nothing seems to work!
Here you are!
You'll feel better after this and please don't give up!
The lives of millions depend on you!
Uh, yes, ma'am, I won't give up!
The truck is now in section 238.
Average speed: 80 kilometers per hour.
Estimated time of arrival at the tunnel: 1 5 minutes!
The scent of the battlefield!
It looks like they're setting the scene for a last-ditch stand!
Because if the truck gets into that tunnel!!!
it'll have a free run right to the city center!
What's up, Captain? Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm okay! Just thinking about something!
Those cybernet guerrillas have managed to create total havoc!!!
and yet there hasn't been a peep outta them as to their demands!
Chief!!
What are you doing in there?
That ought to do it!
Leona, I've fixed the radio--
The runaway truck is approaching the tunnel roadblock.
Estimated time of arrival at the tunnel is 1 5:30.
I repeat--
Let's go!
- You don't mean you're-- - I do!
I'm gonna catch up with that monster!!!
and make him rue the day he put a single scratch on Bonaparte!
Quick! Hide!
Brenten! I want an immediate status report!
Yes, sir! The trailer is now passing through sector 3 20!
We expect it to be here in approximately five minutes!
Only five minutes to go!
Not again!
Damn!Just how many layers of protection does this program have?
Don't I know it! As soon as I sort one out, it creates another!
Ma'am, they want to speak to you!
Yes, that's right, we now have to expand the evacuation to all areas of the city!
And fast! We don't have much time!
Chief!!
We just heard the mayor's ordered the immediate evacuation of the whole city!
It's even worse than I thought!
Chief!!
Any minute now!
Leona! Why don't you slow down?
- Hang on tight! - But--
- What happened, Al? - I bit my tongue!
Here it comes!
Hell, it's enormous!
Now remember, Unit A, aim only at the right-hand side!!!
and, Unit B, aim only at the left-hand side!
And don't screw up!
Fire!
Not a dent!
All units, take cover!
Brenten! I ordered you to stand down!
He can't expect me just to stand by and watch!
What's up?
Get on the radio to headquarters!!!
and tell them on my orders to set up a new roadblock in south sector 523!
Chief, I have the mayor on the phone! It's very urgent!
Yes, ma'am!
This is a hard one for me, but I'm obliged to consider my responsibility!!!
to protect four and a half million citizens!
And you know as well as I do!!!
that I have to try and keep loss of life to a minimum!!!
even if it means making sacrifices!
Ma'am, pardon me, but it's not like you to beat around the bush!
Sorry, Chief, my point is this!
If you can't stop the truck, I'm going to have to order you to!!!
blow it up before it reaches the tunnel exit!
What about my officers!
What the hell's that noise?
Al and Leona!
Come back here!
Was that the Captain and our squad back there?
I didn't see anything! I was concentrating up ahead!
You boneheads!
What are you doing?
- Get back here now. - But, Captain!
Listen up and listen good, Leona! You too, Al!
That truck is packed full of Dimerium double-two three!
Dimerium double two-three!
Hey, what is it?
We've finally managed to penetrate all the program protection levels!
We can now operate the truck manually!
Chief!!
There's no one driving the truck, and it's highly explosive!
So withdraw immediately!
Leona, this is your Chief speaking! Listen to me carefully!
I've just received word that we can stop the truck manually.
That's great, Chief, but there's no one on board!
This is where you come in, Leona! I want you to get on board that truck!
Leona! The hatch above the driver's seat should be open!
Apparently, the chair was ejected earlier!
You can get in from the hatch!
Right on, Captain! I've gotcha! Over and out!
Right!
A little closer!
Al!
Hurry up, Leona! I can't hold it for long!
This must be it!
What a pain in the butt this is!
Oh, no!
What's going on?
I don't know how, but another protection program has just kicked in!
What? Protection program?
It must have detected some outside intervention!!!
and that caused it to switch on!
What? You say you've lost contact with Leona!
Affirmative! I believe she's inside the truck, Captain.
What's going on?
God in heaven had better make sure Leona's okay!
What do you mean another protection program?
Well, that doesn't surprise me in the least!
But, ma'am, you want me to blow up the truck right away?
Ma'am, you're aware that one of my officers is inside the truck?
I'm aware of that, but the situation is desperate!
There's no other way to stop the truck!
I can't compromise the safety of millions!!!
for just one person, Chief!
We have no alternative.
We still have one chance though!
It's a dangerous gamble, but it's still an option worth trying!
Route the truck's circuitry blueprints to my portable here!
That protection program must have kicked in when she hit the brakes!
It's a question of finding out where the control system's located!
What exactly are you looking for?
The other protection programs were transmitted over a modem!!!
but this protection must have been part of the software design!
I've found it! There it is!
I get it now!
If we can cut off the control signal from that sub CPU--
Then the truck will revert back to the previous control!!!
and we can stop it manually!
Now I have to overlay an image of the truck's armor plating!!!
over the circuitry blueprint, and here it is!
That's where we have to sever the connection controlling the signal!
However!!!
if we miss by as little as even one-tenth of a millimeter--
What then?
It'll be curtains for everyone nearby, cause the truck will blow!
And it won't be easy...
because the trailer is plated with an extra thick anti-missile armor!
As I said before, it's a dangerous gamble...
but it might just do the trick!
This has gotta be a one-shot hit!
Order all units to pull back right away!
Hey, Chief!!
Don't forget, if I die, I'm coming back to haunt you!
Good! And the arrangements are all in place?
Fine!
Captain Brenten, use this radio to contact the truck!
It's only got a small radius, but it should work!
Thank you!
Leona, Leona, this is your Captain! Do you read me?
Leona!
The moment I've been waiting for.
My dream will soon become a reality.
Now where have I heard that voice before?
Yes, the Neo Virtual Drug--
Can you hear me, Leona?
It's the Captain!
Listen carefully!
I don't have much time to explain, but I'm at the entrance to the tunnel!
I'm gonna shoot at the truck and sever the autopilot connection!
If it doesn't explode...
it'll revert to manual and that's where you take over.
You have to stop it no matter what!
All right!
Here goes!
Stop, damn you!
- They did it! - Yes! They did it!
They bloody did it!
Let's go get the Captain and Leona!
Captain!
Leona!
Al!
Oh, no! My poor Bonaparte!
That was great, Leona!
Where's the Captain?
So the Tank Police managed to stop it, huh?
I wonder how much data they have on the truck's defense systems?
Time will tell!
I leave you to tidy up the loose ends!
Using the runaway truck to divert the police from searching the harbor!!!
was a brilliant stroke!
Everything went according to plan and no problems with the shipments!
And our main system is as smooth as clockwork!
Yes, that's very pleasing and it'll be most useful!!!
when we next meet the Tank Police!
