1
00:00:11,928 --> 00:00:15,432
[announcer] Gyro Zeppeli wins!
2
00:00:16,725 --> 00:00:21,271
We have our first race leader
of the Steel Ball Run!
3
00:00:22,022 --> 00:00:23,898
[triumphant music playing]
4
00:00:28,903 --> 00:00:31,823
[thinking] He did it. Gyro came in first.
5
00:00:32,490 --> 00:00:34,534
The secret to his victory was
6
00:00:35,285 --> 00:00:37,037
the power of the spin.
7
00:00:38,121 --> 00:00:40,165
[Gyro] Fine work today, Valkyrie.
8
00:00:40,248 --> 00:00:42,667
I have to win this race
no matter the cost,
9
00:00:42,751 --> 00:00:45,295
so give it your all.
10
00:00:45,378 --> 00:00:46,796
No pressure though, right?
11
00:00:47,964 --> 00:00:49,632
[Steven] Gyro Zeppeli.
12
00:00:49,716 --> 00:00:53,762
That man does not volunteer
details of his past.
13
00:00:53,845 --> 00:00:56,139
According to authorities, he's new here.
14
00:00:56,222 --> 00:00:59,601
He came to America from Genoa, Italy
this last May, Mr. Steel.
15
00:00:59,684 --> 00:01:00,894
[Steven] Hmm?
16
00:01:00,977 --> 00:01:03,438
- So he's a foreigner?
- Yes, sir.
17
00:01:03,521 --> 00:01:07,817
He arrived on a ship registered
to a certain royal European bloodline.
18
00:01:08,485 --> 00:01:09,569
[man] Mr. Steel.
19
00:01:09,652 --> 00:01:12,280
- [Steven] Hmm?
- [man] The deliberation results are in.
20
00:01:12,864 --> 00:01:16,826
[whimpers] I don't get it.
This can't be happening.
21
00:01:16,910 --> 00:01:21,790
Don't tell me my one-in-five-billion luck
has come and gone already, man.
22
00:01:21,873 --> 00:01:24,334
How could first place have eluded me?
23
00:01:24,417 --> 00:01:27,253
Damn it all! I am Dio Brando.
24
00:01:29,756 --> 00:01:33,259
[man] Would anyone like some food?
Our racers eat for free.
25
00:01:33,343 --> 00:01:34,177
[Sand Man] Hmm?
26
00:01:34,803 --> 00:01:37,388
[Sand Man thinking] He looks like
the registration clerk.
27
00:01:37,472 --> 00:01:39,140
Is it a different guy?
28
00:01:40,266 --> 00:01:41,184
I'll take it.
29
00:01:45,730 --> 00:01:47,065
Just the way you called it.
30
00:01:47,148 --> 00:01:49,442
You have my congratulations, for now.
31
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,445
Thanks for that, kid.
32
00:01:53,029 --> 00:01:56,658
But don't be too gracious in defeat,
unless you're throwing in the towel.
33
00:01:56,741 --> 00:01:57,659
[Johnny] Mmm.
34
00:01:57,742 --> 00:02:00,411
[Steven] To one and all,
I laud your patience.
35
00:02:00,495 --> 00:02:03,331
The first stage rankings
will now be unveiled.
36
00:02:03,414 --> 00:02:06,793
After much careful deliberation,
the winner of the first leg
37
00:02:07,377 --> 00:02:10,547
is the possessor of saddlecloth 990.
38
00:02:10,630 --> 00:02:11,631
It's Sand Man.
39
00:02:11,714 --> 00:02:12,757
[both gasp]
40
00:02:14,342 --> 00:02:15,301
[Sand Man] Huh?
41
00:02:16,594 --> 00:02:18,596
[jaunty music playing]
42
00:02:36,865 --> 00:02:38,867
[lyrics in Japanese]
43
00:03:46,601 --> 00:03:48,686
{\an8}[man] That guy won? No way.
44
00:03:48,770 --> 00:03:50,897
{\an8}[man 2] Gyro came in first, I seent it.
45
00:03:50,980 --> 00:03:52,649
I will explain all.
46
00:03:52,732 --> 00:03:55,443
Based on observations
from our hot-air balloon,
47
00:03:55,526 --> 00:03:58,696
Gyro Zeppeli used a weapon
to obstruct the path ahead.
48
00:03:58,780 --> 00:04:02,367
It was at the end of the downhill slope,
just before the final turn.
49
00:04:02,450 --> 00:04:03,868
The end of the slope?
50
00:04:04,702 --> 00:04:07,247
[gasps] Oh, then.
51
00:04:07,330 --> 00:04:08,623
[Gyro grumbles softly]
52
00:04:08,706 --> 00:04:13,503
As a result, Gyro will be demoted
20 places in this first leg of the race.
53
00:04:13,586 --> 00:04:16,381
And the racers behind him
will move up accordingly.
54
00:04:17,632 --> 00:04:19,884
- [man 3] So Dio's second, huh?
- [Diego gasps]
55
00:04:19,968 --> 00:04:22,095
- [man 3] And Pocoloco got third.
- [Pocoloco] Whoo-hoo.
56
00:04:22,178 --> 00:04:25,098
[man 4] Yeah, but the big news here is
that Mountain Tim came in fourth.
57
00:04:25,181 --> 00:04:28,559
He squeezed his horse's nose in there
right at the end.
58
00:04:28,643 --> 00:04:31,729
[grunts] Slow Dancer, what are you doing?
59
00:04:31,813 --> 00:04:33,314
[gasps]
60
00:04:33,398 --> 00:04:34,941
[thinking] Mountain Tim.
61
00:04:35,608 --> 00:04:38,444
A cowboy forged
in the crucible of the West.
62
00:04:39,028 --> 00:04:41,239
I'd heard the rumors, of course.
63
00:04:42,156 --> 00:04:45,910
That all horses bow their heads
in respect to him when he passes by.
64
00:04:49,247 --> 00:04:51,040
[groans]
65
00:04:52,458 --> 00:04:54,127
[groans]
66
00:04:55,253 --> 00:04:58,840
[reporter] Congratulations, Mr. Steel,
on a successful first stage.
67
00:04:59,465 --> 00:05:02,135
- Much obliged.
- [reporter 2] When is the next one?
68
00:05:03,136 --> 00:05:05,513
[whirring]
69
00:05:06,097 --> 00:05:07,307
[Gyro grumbles]
70
00:05:08,308 --> 00:05:09,142
[Lucy] Mm.
71
00:05:10,059 --> 00:05:12,020
[Gyro grumbles]
72
00:05:12,770 --> 00:05:14,772
[suspenseful music playing]
73
00:05:17,358 --> 00:05:19,944
Something you wish
to get off your chest, Zeppeli?
74
00:05:20,445 --> 00:05:24,115
Normally you'd be disqualified
for that stunt you pulled back there.
75
00:05:24,198 --> 00:05:26,075
[Gyro grumbles]
76
00:05:26,993 --> 00:05:28,202
[grunts]
77
00:05:28,786 --> 00:05:30,371
No, sir, no complaints.
78
00:05:30,455 --> 00:05:32,874
No point complaining about the past.
79
00:05:32,957 --> 00:05:35,168
It's not like
I can take it back now, right?
80
00:05:35,251 --> 00:05:36,627
[Steven] Hmm.
81
00:05:36,711 --> 00:05:38,379
Guess I came here.
82
00:05:38,463 --> 00:05:41,132
so I can head into tomorrow
on a fresh slate.
83
00:05:41,632 --> 00:05:44,427
Enjoy your champagne. I know I will.
84
00:05:45,303 --> 00:05:47,138
Hey. What do you mean?
85
00:05:47,722 --> 00:05:48,931
Whoa!
86
00:05:49,015 --> 00:05:50,141
Huh?
87
00:05:50,641 --> 00:05:51,642
What in the...
88
00:05:51,726 --> 00:05:52,935
[mystical whirring]
89
00:05:55,188 --> 00:05:56,397
[Steven screams]
90
00:05:56,898 --> 00:05:58,524
What is the meaning of this?
91
00:05:58,608 --> 00:06:01,402
I paid top dollar
to ship this in from France.
92
00:06:02,028 --> 00:06:04,238
[mystical whirring]
93
00:06:04,322 --> 00:06:07,200
[crowd clamoring]
94
00:06:09,243 --> 00:06:11,954
- [man] I demand an explanation.
- [man 2] Damn it all. I'm soaked.
95
00:06:12,038 --> 00:06:13,289
Excuse me, sir.
96
00:06:13,373 --> 00:06:14,499
[Steven] Hmm?
97
00:06:14,582 --> 00:06:16,000
Problem, Sheriff?
98
00:06:16,084 --> 00:06:19,796
May I have a moment of your time?
We should speak in private.
99
00:06:20,296 --> 00:06:23,049
Is it wrong that made me feel better?
100
00:06:23,549 --> 00:06:24,425
Hey.
101
00:06:24,509 --> 00:06:27,887
Are you gonna nip at my heels
in the second stage of the race,
102
00:06:27,970 --> 00:06:29,263
Johnny Joestar?
103
00:06:29,347 --> 00:06:30,223
Uh.
104
00:06:30,932 --> 00:06:34,727
Well yeah.
Right up until I breeze past you. [scoffs]
105
00:06:35,937 --> 00:06:37,063
Very well.
106
00:06:37,146 --> 00:06:38,856
Here is your second lesson.
107
00:06:38,940 --> 00:06:41,859
Never let your muscles
in on the plan. Ever.
108
00:06:41,943 --> 00:06:42,777
[Johnny gasps]
109
00:06:42,860 --> 00:06:44,028
Observe.
110
00:06:44,112 --> 00:06:47,240
The more pressure you apply when grabbing
your wrist with your free hand,
111
00:06:47,323 --> 00:06:51,244
the more your muscles want to react
to that force by shaking it off.
112
00:06:51,828 --> 00:06:53,913
The body
instinctively tries to protect itself
113
00:06:53,996 --> 00:06:56,416
because the muscles sense what's going on.
114
00:06:56,499 --> 00:06:58,501
That's how it is with living bodies.
115
00:06:59,293 --> 00:07:01,546
The Steel Ball's spin
keeps them in the dark.
116
00:07:01,629 --> 00:07:03,339
So keep it skin deep.
117
00:07:03,423 --> 00:07:07,218
That way, the muscles have no idea
something strange is afoot.
118
00:07:07,301 --> 00:07:09,679
Keep it skin deep, huh?
That's your advice?
119
00:07:09,762 --> 00:07:12,181
[Gyro] Give it a whirl...
if you're up for it.
120
00:07:12,265 --> 00:07:16,060
That champagne cork in your hand
has some pretty good spin going already.
121
00:07:16,144 --> 00:07:16,978
Uh?
122
00:07:17,645 --> 00:07:19,939
[mystical whirring]
123
00:07:24,819 --> 00:07:25,903
[grunts]
124
00:07:27,738 --> 00:07:28,614
[gasps]
125
00:07:30,700 --> 00:07:31,576
Ah!
126
00:07:31,659 --> 00:07:33,453
[Gyro] And that's
how you get off the horse.
127
00:07:33,536 --> 00:07:35,913
Their muscles didn't even notice it.
128
00:07:35,997 --> 00:07:40,376
[thinking] That was the reverse
of the spin for when I got on the horse.
129
00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:42,295
[Gyro] Keep the muscles in the dark.
130
00:07:42,378 --> 00:07:45,840
It's not the Steel Ball itself,
but the power of spin that's key.
131
00:07:46,507 --> 00:07:49,886
Stage two of the race
crosses the desert, Johnny Joestar.
132
00:07:49,969 --> 00:07:52,054
Over 700 miles in total.
133
00:07:52,138 --> 00:07:53,806
It's going to be tough.
134
00:07:54,348 --> 00:07:56,309
I say we form an alliance.
135
00:07:56,392 --> 00:07:59,479
What better way to finish the stage
than in first and second?
136
00:07:59,562 --> 00:08:00,563
[gasps]
137
00:08:01,981 --> 00:08:04,400
I'll be the one in first place, though.
138
00:08:07,695 --> 00:08:11,532
[Steven] What?!
What the hell am I looking at, huh?
139
00:08:11,616 --> 00:08:13,284
Pretty obvious, ain't it?
140
00:08:13,367 --> 00:08:16,162
You're looking at the scene
of a brutal murder, sir.
141
00:08:16,245 --> 00:08:19,373
A massacre carried out
during your Steel Ball Run.
142
00:08:19,457 --> 00:08:22,543
Over 3,000 racers took part
in that first leg of the race,
143
00:08:22,627 --> 00:08:25,087
and not a damn one of them saw anything.
144
00:08:25,171 --> 00:08:28,508
You... you think it was a jockey.
But what motive would they have?
145
00:08:28,591 --> 00:08:30,968
I can think of a cool 50 million of them.
146
00:08:31,052 --> 00:08:33,054
For that much money,
nothing's off the table.
147
00:08:33,137 --> 00:08:34,055
[Steven gasps]
148
00:08:34,138 --> 00:08:36,849
All participants are suspects
at this juncture.
149
00:08:36,933 --> 00:08:39,519
And we must assume
there will be more victims.
150
00:08:39,602 --> 00:08:43,231
Do you intend to halt the race
to allow for a full investigation?
151
00:08:43,314 --> 00:08:45,691
[stammers] No!
152
00:08:45,775 --> 00:08:50,363
The Steel Ball Run is bigger
than any one man's ambitions now.
153
00:08:50,863 --> 00:08:52,365
I figured as much.
154
00:08:52,448 --> 00:08:55,326
Please, dear, be careful.
155
00:08:55,409 --> 00:08:57,370
[suspenseful music playing]
156
00:08:57,453 --> 00:08:58,287
[Lucy] Uh...
157
00:08:59,664 --> 00:09:02,583
[Mountain Tim] The scent of these blooms
is said to calm the soul.
158
00:09:02,667 --> 00:09:03,543
[Lucy] Huh?
159
00:09:03,626 --> 00:09:06,754
I would be honored
if... you would accept them.
160
00:09:08,047 --> 00:09:09,215
[Lucy] Ah.
161
00:09:09,298 --> 00:09:10,341
[sniffs]
162
00:09:11,217 --> 00:09:12,218
[sighs]
163
00:09:12,301 --> 00:09:15,930
I'm sure you're worried sick
for your beloved husband, ma'am.
164
00:09:16,013 --> 00:09:17,181
What wife wouldn't be?
165
00:09:17,265 --> 00:09:20,142
I'll sort this out finer than frog hair.
166
00:09:22,979 --> 00:09:25,606
[Steven] That's Mountain Tim, is it not?
167
00:09:25,690 --> 00:09:27,149
What's he doing here?
168
00:09:27,233 --> 00:09:29,569
I brought him out
to track down the killer.
169
00:09:29,652 --> 00:09:32,238
It's right in his wheelhouse,
as I'm sure you know.
170
00:09:32,321 --> 00:09:33,364
Track down the killer?
171
00:09:33,447 --> 00:09:35,533
But he's a member of the race.
172
00:09:35,616 --> 00:09:37,660
All the more reason to use him.
173
00:09:37,743 --> 00:09:40,913
If someone's killing off the competition,
he could well be next.
174
00:09:40,997 --> 00:09:43,583
What better motivation
to catch the culprit quick?
175
00:09:43,666 --> 00:09:45,334
[Mountain Tim] I'm touched

00:09:45,418 --> 00:09:47,795
[sheriff] Mr. Steel,
I'm appointing Mountain Tim
177
00:09:47,878 --> 00:09:50,256
as deputy sheriff in this matter.
178
00:09:50,339 --> 00:09:53,134
If and that meets with your approval,
of course.

[horse trotting]

00:09:56,012 --> 00:09:57,471
[Mountain Tim] A hell of a way to go.
182
00:09:58,055 --> 00:10:02,226
How am I supposed to win the race in peace
knowing it contains so vile a villain?
183
00:10:03,060 --> 00:10:04,437
I got a lot of friends in the race,
184
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,731
and I'll be damned
if I let them get butchered.
185
00:10:11,027 --> 00:10:14,822
If I have to pick a set of prints
to start tracking, it's this one.
186
00:10:15,865 --> 00:10:18,951
You gotta run a horse hard
to get prints like this.
187
00:10:19,035 --> 00:10:22,455
And there's a mountain-shaped chip
in the middle of this horseshoe.
188
00:10:22,538 --> 00:10:23,998
What of it?
189
00:10:24,081 --> 00:10:28,586
Betcha this horse was riled up.
Probably from seeing all of that carnage.
190
00:10:28,669 --> 00:10:31,255
But the rider kept him under control
during the murder.
191
00:10:31,339 --> 00:10:32,423
They know the terrain.
192
00:10:33,341 --> 00:10:35,301
A bottle near the victims?
193
00:10:36,469 --> 00:10:38,721
Something solid inside there.
194
00:10:39,889 --> 00:10:41,641
Is that a clothes button?

[dramatic music playing]
196
00:10:49,315 --> 00:10:52,485
Does it have something to do with
how they met their grizzly end?
197
00:10:52,568 --> 00:10:54,945
It came off of one of the victim's jeans.
198
00:10:55,696 --> 00:10:57,698
Why would the button be off, though?
199
00:10:57,782 --> 00:11:00,034
And how would it end up
inside that bottle?
200
00:11:00,826 --> 00:11:01,994
In any case,
201
00:11:02,078 --> 00:11:04,121
by the time our killer got close enough
202
00:11:04,205 --> 00:11:07,833
that these poor unfortunates
took stock of them, it was too late.

It will be the work of two weeks,

Sand Man is the favorite

to win this next stage too.

Easy there, boy.
227
00:12:10,312 --> 00:12:14,817
He's got a weird hat. Just look.
I kind of want to trample it.
228
00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:16,986
I kind of want to trample it
while he's wearing it,
229
00:12:17,069 --> 00:12:18,821

230
00:12:18,904 --> 00:12:20,906
Mountain Tim is a bona fide cowboy.

Short stages aren't supposed
to be his strength.
232
00:12:23,117 --> 00:12:26,036
But he still caught up with me
without my noticing it
233
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,997

Even with that hat of his,
you didn't see him?

It wasn't a battle or an accident
that did them in.

A watering hole they were counting on
had dried up for some reason.

Is he the one who ambushed us?

[Johnny] Easy, Gyro.

They came from up ahead of us, right?

Familiar enough.

00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:33,844
Around here, there's a cactus
that shoots out its needles.
339
00:17:33,927 --> 00:17:35,637
It's called a jumping cholla.

When anything gets too close,
341
00:17:37,765 --> 00:17:40,934
it reacts to the vibrations in the air
and fires a barrage.

who's at fault for this debacle?
345
00:17:51,653 --> 00:17:54,615
Is the blame ours
for stepping into a patch of angry cacti?
346
00:17:55,324 --> 00:17:56,575
Or option two?
347
00:17:56,658 --> 00:17:58,202
Did our new friend down there
348
00:17:58,285 --> 00:18:01,080
somehow mount an attack on us
with the local flora?
349
00:18:01,163 --> 00:18:02,247
[Johnny] I'm not sure.
350
00:18:02,331 --> 00:18:04,792
As I recall, you have
to get pretty close to a jumping cholla
351
00:18:04,875 --> 00:18:06,293
to make it shoot its needles.
352
00:18:06,376 --> 00:18:08,337
And he was never in front of us.
353
00:18:08,420 --> 00:18:09,588
Maybe not.
354
00:18:09,671 --> 00:18:11,757
But he has a good motive
to take us out that way.
355
00:18:12,341 --> 00:18:14,009
If the ruling is death by cactus,
356
00:18:14,093 --> 00:18:17,221
he can kill us in plain sight
without earning a penalty for it.
357
00:18:17,805 --> 00:18:19,640
[sighs] So what do we do?
358
00:18:19,723 --> 00:18:21,892
We still don't know if he's the attacker.
359
00:18:21,975 --> 00:18:24,603
[Gyro] Shit.
We're sitting ducks out here in the open.
360
00:18:24,686 --> 00:18:26,105
Time to run for it, Johnny.
361
00:18:26,188 --> 00:18:27,606
Right. Let's go!

I know we promised
to reach the finish line together,
381

but a race is a race.

are considered weapons, remember?

But we don't have any proof
he's the one attacking us.
393
00:19:38,594 --> 00:19:40,137
Assault another racer without cause
394
00:19:40,220 --> 00:19:42,472

of the Steel Ball Run!

In some villages out here,
whenever a dispute would lead to a duel,

00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,743
they chain the loser to a cactus
and leave him for dead,

which he is in no time at all.
402
00:20:04,453 --> 00:20:07,831
Growing up in a place like that,
I learned certain techniques
403
00:20:07,915 --> 00:20:10,083
to keep myself safe
in the event of a fight.
404
00:20:10,167 --> 00:20:14,713

and claimed the advantage.

Did you think I just dropped my balls
on accident?

I would never, which means
I dropped them on purpose.

then what's the source?

[Gyro] I may not have
the aim of your little bug friends,
