on an unused orbital elevator!

It takes off at 5:00 AM!

That gives us four hours!

Naomi, don't do

anything reckless.

They're after my secret.

I'm not gonna let them get

their hands on me so easily.

Anyway,

don't underestimate them.

I hear you.

What, him again?!

You wanna end up

like you did before?

You're a slow learner,

aren't you?

I'd prefer it if you wouldn't wreck

any more of my merchandise.

Demitrio!

Shall we discuss this?

All I'll discuss is you

giving me my daughter back!

Sure you want to brush

me off so quickly?

Yoko!

You can't release her.

I have the access protected.

Is this it?

Sh*t!

The door's locked!

Can you release it?

Impossible. It's protected, so my

telepresence won't work!

Ross, there's something else!

Listen to me! That room's a freezer!

What?!

Yoko's in danger!

I'll buy some time.

Ross, you'll have to handle it.

There, that's better.

Sh*t!

I ran some tests on

your daughter's body.

I found no unusual

abilities in her.

How disappointing.

Just a normal child...

What did you do to Yoko?!

Did you hurt her?!

Hurt her? My dear,

I'm not a barbarian!

I just took some small

blood and tissue samples.

You can relax. I have

no use for a normal child.

Daddy...

I'm a lenient man.

I'm willing to forget the

considerable damage and rudeness...

...you and your husband have

inflicted on my company.

However, that depends

on you telling me...

...what the secret

of the Thirds is.

Daddy!

The secret of your

ability to conceive life.

My secret?

You really want to know?

Shall I show it

to you right now?

You really will?

Closer, please.

A little more...

Yeah... Right there.

Wait!

You apparently still don't

understand your position here.

I can set you

free if you wish.

Or I can shut your

loud mouth permanently...

...by having your pretty

little head ripped off!

But, if you do that,

you'll lose the secret forever.

You foolish man.

Don't you know where the power

to create a child is in a woman?

What?!

Her heart! You don't just

make a child with your body!

The love she feels for someone!

The need to protect them!

The need to pass those

feelings on to the future...

...is what makes a child!

You'll never understand that!

It's the software...

Is that it?

After her!

Who are you?!

Replicas...?

Do you fakes think you

can beat the original?!

Mommy!

Yoko!

Mommy!

Mommy, I missed you!

Thank God you're okay...

Mommy, look!

Here! Your thank-you present

for my birthday party!

It's a bead ring!

I worked really hard on it!

I wanted to give it to

you as soon as I could.

I see. I'm sorry, hon.

What's wrong?

Th- This is just...!

Yoko!

Naomi...

What are they?

Naomi, hurry!

- Go without me.

- What?!

- I'll hold them off here!

- NAOMI!

God dammit!

That know-it-all bastard!

How could he

do that to me?!

Oh, great. Not again!

Let's see...

Well, let's give

it a try and see.

Looks like this elevator only

runs as high as this floor.

How do we

ride up from here?!

Daddy, this way!

This way! We can

go up through here!

Yoko!

Don't go running off!

But we can go up this way!

How do you know that?

I saw it downstairs!

Doesn't look like

it's coming down.

Someone's behind us.

What?!

Daddy!

NO!!!

What's wrong?

We're not there yet.

Yoko's in danger...

Please, I want you to release

my combat-mode limiter!

WHAT?!!

Don't you know what would

happen to your body...

...if you initiated your combat-

mode without the limiter?!

Your power level would be

mind-blowing, but still...

You'll exceed your internal

battery's output limits...

...and that Class-L heat radiator

system you have inside of you...

...wouldn't be able

to keep up with it!

That lovely skin

you're so proud of...

...would melt down

after only a minutes!

In the end, your body itself

will lose all control!

I'm aware of all that!

Please! There's no time!

Sheesh! Don't blame me

for what happens!

All clear?

The password to release your

limiter is "Heaven's Door."

Knock once, and it opens.

But if you push things too far,

you'll end up in Heaven for real!

Anyway, let's go!

Daddy! Daddy, this way!

R- Right!

Yoko, by any chance...

...did you memorize

the whole floor plan?

Yeah.

But how?

I just looked at it. Daddy,

give me a pen, please.

I never realized...

You're a real genius,

aren't you?

Sh*t!

It's them again!

- No!

- Yoko!

Stay away...

Mommy...

Naomi!

Get on that one!

- Ross, hurry!

- Right! Yoko!

Man, this is getting

exciting, isn't it?

But the real show's

about to start.

And you, my dear Demitrio,

are the star!

I have one more

favor to ask.

What?! Another one?!

You copied my

memory data, didn't you?

There's something I'd

like you to do with it.

She's slick, I'll give her that.

Well, not like I'm one to talk...

Okay, then! Here we go!

IT'S SHOWTIME!

We interrupt this program

for a special report.

MGN has successfully

secured extraordinary footage...

...of the robot uprising which has

become known as the First Error.

As this footage shows,

the energy plant was actually...

...a front for illegal

Third Project research.

These shocking scenes

capture the project's failure...

...and the attempt by the ERU,

fearing its disclosure...

...to suppress the truth.

We've also received information

which deeply implicates...

How dare he...!

How dare that little rat...!

...ERU Executive VP

Demitrio Mardini in this affair.

What's wrong?

It's two against one!

Don't hold back

any longer!

Don't let any of them

off the Earth alive!

Sh*t!

Yoko! Hang on tight!

Naomi!

C'mon, get on my back.

Hang on as tight

as you can...!

Almost there!

Daddy, we're almost there!

Welcome to the No. 6

Chicago Orbital Elevator...

...your gateway to space!

Naomi!

There's the shuttle!

C'mon, let's go!

Yoko.

Yoko...

Get back!

Yoko!

NAOMI!

Naomi...?

God dammit!

Yoko!

Get your hands...

Get your hands off Yoko!

Mommy...

Mommy!

- Mommy!

- Look out!

MOMMY!!!

Heaven's... DOOR!

Talk about your simple programs!

"Pursue targets and kill them," huh?

This is my limit...!

Still...?!

Dammit... There's no way

I'll be beaten by you!

Mommy!

Mommy! Stop it, please!

Yoko...

You're hurt so bad...

You're going to die!

GO BACK TO:

YOUR MASTER!!!

Mommy...!

I broke your ring...

Sorry, hon...

Then... Then I'll make

a ton more for you!

'Kay?

Mommy, you're

squishing me! Mommy!

C'mon, let's go home.

You think you're

getting away?!

This vessel is unregistered!

wish to clear it for takeoff?
