Armitage: Dual Matrix

Colonel Strings to HQ.

Colonel Strings to HQ.

Time is 05:
21. Initiating

target penetration. Over.

Let's go!

Dreams come true!

From the red deserts

to the blue oceans!

Astro Technologies is making

your dreams come true!

We're advocating a project

to safely create oceans...

...by using ice chunks

floating in orbit of Mars.

All we ask for

is your support...

...and then we really can

make dreams come true!

Antimatter reactor

has overloaded.

Levels have reached

critical zone!

Danger! All personnel,

evacuate at once!

For the sake of humanity, for the

sake of our righteous goal...

DIE!!!

The Third Project...?

The reception of a distress

call from an antimatter plant...

...on an isolated island

in the Pacific...

...has resulted in the dispatch

of an army special forces unit.

According to our investigation,

robots at the plant have rebelled...

...resulting in the deaths of

many of the plant's staff.

While the situation

is now under control...

...we are currently waiting for a

comment from the robot's maker...

Yoko!

Bye-bye!

Good-bye, dear.

Were you waiting long?

Mr. Oldman!

Be sure her mother comes by to

help out at the bazaar tomorrow!

Uh... Right!

You think mommy will come?

I dunno. She's not too

good with stuff like that.

Mommy, we're home!

Where are you, "Mommy?"

...and the anti-robot movement

has now spread all over the world.

As a reaction, President Hemming

of the Earth Robotronics Union...

the leader in

the robot industry...

...has just made a statement.

Let's see that recording.

The problem occurs in Seconds,

manufactured only on Mars...

...which have a

fractal circuit installed.

These things aren't necessary

for robots anyway.

I hope the more frequent usage of

Earth-made Seconds equipped with...

Welcome home.

...human obedience circuits is reconsidered in light of this incident.

...human obedience circuits is reconsidered in light of this incident.

That was President Hemming of the ERU. In other news...

Mommy!

That was President Hemming of the ERU. In other news...

Check it out.

That was President Hemming of the ERU. In other news...

- Happy birthday, Yoko.

- Congratulations, Yoko.

A token of my

affection, Naomi.

Is today your birthday, too,

Mommy? Same as mine?

Yoko, those roses are my thanks for

this feast your mother made for us.

Oh, I get it.

Okay, then I'll give you

a thank-you present, too.

My birthday, huh...?

The Chicago police today announced the

submission of a bill to the Assembly...

...to reduce the number of robot police

officers who have been deployed...

...to work on simple

duties such as...

...dealing with parking violations

and cleaning up after accidents.

It's expected to pass

sometime this week.

All right, after this commercial,

we'll be back with a live interview...

...here at Blue 5 Net studios with

Colonel Strings, the commander of...

...the 404th mobile troops which

raided that antimatter plant.

And now a Blue 5 Net

exclusive interview!

You were the first man on-site

during the raid, is that correct?

Yes, ma'am. The first one in

and the last one out.

Were the robots so dangerous

that you needed to use guns?

The only survivors were 8 of my men

and just 3 of the plant's personnel.

We tried our best.

Are you on the side of the humans?

Or are you on the side of the robots?

My own beliefs

guide my actions

Humans are humans

and robots are robots.

Human rights are reserved

for humans only, I'd say.

Thank you for your time.

That was Colonel Strings.

This vehicle is in

violation of traffic laws.

Further pursuit is--

Who are you, lady?

I have some business with the

colonel. He's in there, isn't he?

Right now, I'd say the colonel

is enjoying a nice drink!

What the...?!

BOO!

A Second, enhanced for hand-

to-hand combat. Handmade...

You're not human, are you?

Who are you supposed to be?

The Tin Woodsman in a full-body cast?

I may get a bonus if I just...

...take your head back

with me, my little Dorothy.

Ow... Damn, that thing's strong!

I just need to have your head left,

or else I won't get any bonus.

I may have overdone it...

"Rank:
sergeant."

"404th mobile troops,

reserve forces."

I knew it.

One of Strings's men.

They sure have

this planned out...

Yoko... This may take

longer than I expected.

So, you're still alive...

The lost Third...

The Angel of

Death and Life, eh?

Hm? Oh, hi, Kevin.

You're relieved. Anything

left for me to worry about?

- Not a damned thing.

- What's that?

Someone mailed in a threat.

Earth-lovers, most likely.

They apparently

don't like the fact...

...that we make high-compression

propellant here.

They say Martians should

live in the deserts...

...and stop wishing for oceans.

Well, have a nice shift.

All set... Good luck!

Sh*t!

You aren't going to break through

the security here! Give up!

Oh, we'll head straight home

after we blow up this facility...

...and all the rocket fuel here!

C'mon! C'mon!

Is that all you've got?!

Sh*t!

GOOD NIGHT, BABY!

How are you? Hurt bad?

Nah, it's nothing serious.

Good to hear. Man, you did

a great job in there.

Outstanding, really.

Unfortunately, there are

some complications...

Huh?

The police have just

issued a statement.

They stopped the vehicle

with the escaping terrorists...

...and arrested the last three.

It's just... The three of

them are all robots.

Robots?! But, what about

the ones I killed?

They were human.

Humans...?!

But there was no way I

could tell in that situation!

I know, I know.

We'll have lawyers at

the press conference.

The only words you'll say

there are "No comment."

Got that? Everything'll

be fine, so don't worry.

And dress those bandages

up to make it look worse.

You're a hero who risked

his life in the line of duty.

A victim. Got that?!

Okay, come on!

Hi, Julian.

Hi, Armitage.

It's been a long time since

anyone's called me by that name.

You saw it, right?

Yeah. You mean about

the First Error, right?

- Tell me about it.

- It doesn't interest me.

- Why not?

- Because I'm a ghost.

I couldn't care less about

things in the mortal world.

Julian!

Thanks, Julian.

Judging from the situation...

...Mr. Kevin Oldman merely

carried out his duty, that's all.

But the three human

terrorists are dead...

...while their three robot

accomplices are completely unharmed.

Is there a special reason

for that, Mr. Oldman?

I believe we explained

that already!

When you have

terrorists who are...

...ready to use a liquid

explosive bomb breaking in...

...do you think

there's time to sort out...

...which are human and

which are robots?!

The question was for Kevin.

Please answer it, sir.

He's been through enough today!

Would you cut it out already?

Hold it! Just a moment!

Are you one of those

robot fetishists?

Do you subscribe to

"Deep Robo" magazine?

Do you use a robot maid?

Ever had sex with a robot?

Would you all stop it?!

Robots only do what

they're ordered to do!
