- I'll prepare it for you. - Here you go, sir.
Understood.
Here you go, ma'am.
- Oh, my! Dear, look at this. - I don't want it.
- Why did I have to come too? - Understood, sir.
- Huh? - One moment, please.
I'll have the same.
Would you like something to drink?
I'll have another of the same.
You're the only one who's finished his meals since we left the moon.
It wasn't easy getting on the Haunzen.
But you're going down to Earth to wipe out Mafty Erin, aren't you?
You're a captain, or something?
What's your opinion of Mafty Navue Erin?
Why would you ask me that?
The Haunzen is a special flight.
Nobody can get on it without good connections.
What's more, most of the passengers today are Federation officials,
cabinet members, or their families who are heading te the Adelaide conference.
That's a well-tailored suit, but the smell is still on you.
You need to be more like him.
He's probably in the same business.
So you're not interested in others?
I suppose that's why you had to take the ring off your left hand.
Why, you!
My name is Gigi Andalucia. That was a rude way to address me.
Oh, excuse me.
I won't ask how you figured me out.
Don't laugh.
I realize that I'm apparently an over-emotional person.
As for Mafty, he's a dangerous individual.
He's disrupting the order of the Earth Federation government.
It seems all the public loves Mafty.
They say he's Char Aznable come back to life, that he'll do what people want.
That's quite extreme.
Mafty declared that he'd assassinate Federation ministers.
And then, for the sake of the environment, all humanity will have to leave Earth.
Without exception, right?
Yes.
All of humanity without exception. It's a childish idea, really.
Sometimes a child's logic is correct though.
Nothing in the world works that simply.
I see. So one can't always be clean and pure?
What do you think?
The wheels of society must be greased, I suppose.
Everything you say is so predictable.
Well, then, now it's my turn.
- Looks like a surveillance satellite. - Must be Mafty's doing.
A gap has opened up in the Oceania airspace.
What could they be thinking?
They aren't worried about it. Otherwise they wouldn't all be meeting on Earth.
More than a century has passed since humanity's
burgeoning population ventured into space.
It has been 12 years since Char's Rebellion.
To that girl, I'm no different from those ministers, hm?
Well, if Mafty kills me, I can't complain.
Is anything the matter, sir?
No.
I just finally realized you're my type, Miss Flower.
Is that your stock pick-up line?
It must be hard getting older.
No, not really.
For instance, I no longer get nerveus when talking to a beauty like you.
That's enjoyable in itself.
When I was a teenager, my heart would race, I'd be in agony.
This is better.
I'd rather have the heart racing.
That's an ideal left ever from the experience of first love.
You knew full well that reality is different.
You've put me in my place !
Are you all right?
-Yes. -Put on your seatbelt!
Captain Kenneth !
What is it? !
Wait, Captain.
Minister Eyinstein !
Are you trying to get us caught up in this?
If it's Mafty, then they're after the lives of you cabinet ministers!
Mafty?
A wise decision.
Could I ask you to set that gun down on the floor, Captain Kenneth?
Don't look. It's best not to make eye contact.
All Federation cabinet ministers, listen well.
I am Mafty Erin.
However, this operation is not a purge.
In exchange for your lives,
we will obtain war funds from the Earth Federation government.
Upon completion, you will be released.
Of course, the same goes for you privileged peeple
who had the misfortune of being on board too.
Calm down !
This is why I said I didn't want to go to Earth !
Stop it!
Stop screaming. It gets on my nerves!
Purser! Get me the passenger manifest.
Next, Sauli Stahlberg, Communications Minister,
and his wife, Aila.
Raise your hand so we can see it clearly.
Douglas Higgins, Jupiter Develepment Agency Director,
and his wife, Fiana.
All right.
Now, now.
The Inner Space Surveillance Minister is busy with a young woman?
What are you looking at, woman? Show me !
How cute !
Huh?
A combination of Sudanese, Arabic, and Old Irish.
What a horrible medley! It's hardly even a name !
Mafty Navue Erin.
What's with you?
Hey. Gigi Andalucia...
That seat beside you is reserved too. Why?
To avoid unwanted advances.
Huh?
She has a patron!
- A lover! How shameful ! - Don't start, hon.
She's not even 20 years eld.
-Be quiet! -Listen, you.
How did you people find out about this vessel?
I told you to shut up !
But one of our duties is to investigate your organization.
You've got some nerve !
The Public Health Minister is dead.
You, there. Go take care of your colleague's corpse.
Someone, do it!
I will.
I saw some terrible corpses in the old wars.
You're...
Exactly who you imagine, I think.
All right. Help him.
Gather some blankets.
Y-Yes, sir!
No running !
Listen up. This is Mafty Erin doing this.
I thought I warned you not to forget that!
Can you pull on that side a little?
- Like that? - That's good.
Ma'am, please keep your voice down.
- They'll kill you ! - Then kill me !
What's with you? !
- Do it! - Do it! They're fakes!
Do it! They're fakes!
Hey!
You didn't know how to finish.
What would you do if that hadn't worked?
I don't know. I was running before I knew it.
I hope you're joking.
Our priority is securing the armed group !
Leave passenger safety to the secend team !
Davao? Why? That's even further than Hong Kong.
Apparently Mafty was taking us to Australia.
But if we get off here, how do we travel from here?
What the...?
I can't stand this humidity!
These guys might not have been Mafty, just like that Gigi girl said.
My subordinates are on their way. Sorry.
They didn't seem to have it. The integrity I expected of Mafty.
That sounds like you approve of Mafty.
They may be a splinter group from Oenbelli.
- What's Oenbelli? - A town in northern Australia.
A place where tens of thousands of disturbing elements gather.
And they're calling themselves Mafty's army.
Captain Kenneth!
Lieutenant, hold these people in a military facility.
We'll claim them before the Bureau of Investigation.
Yes, sir!
Mafty forces in Oenbelli...?
Please wait in the lobby.
We'll need your written statement,
and your transfer flight should be arranged.
Oh, and...
I never got your name.
I'm the newly appointed commander here in Davao, Kenneth Sleg.
I'm Noa.
Hathaway Noa.
Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway
I'll have a ginger ale.
- Look, it's him ! - Where's Chief Yeoksan?
Hathaway Noa!
Please let me shake your hand!
You were a soldier when you were younger, weren't you?
If we'd been taken prisoner,
it would have been a terrible blow to the Federation government.
Please allow me to introduce you to everyone !
Wait!
Now I remember. Hathaway Noa.
Your father was Captain Bright Noa of the E.F.S.F. 13th Independent Unit
and captain of the Ra Cailum.
During Char's Rebellion,
you piloted and fought in a mobile suit, didn't you?
The truth is, I stole it and just flew around in it.
They overlooked it because we won the war.
No, no. You have extraordinary talents.
I'm Hundley Yeoksan of the Criminal Police Organization.
These people from the Bureau of Investigation need to interview you,
but we're in a bit of disagreement with Captain Kenneth.
We'd like you to stay in Davao until morning.
Can you do that?
As long as I can get back to Manado tomorrow.
You mean Manado on Sulawesi Island?
I'm training as a botanical observer on the Minahasa Peninsula.
I see.
Under Professor Amada Mansun?
- Yes. - All right. Arrange a hotel for him.
If we leave it to the military, they might keep him here overnight.
Of course.
But we could do the interview right now.
We're done for today.
"No revival without purification," hmm?
In a sense, our organization shares the spirit of the professor's teachings,
don't you think?
Chief!
Criminal Police Organization, eh?
Is he the head of Man Hunter?
Despite what the chief said, could I ask a little bit about what happened?
Sometimes our bosses are too laid back.
Of course.
Why did you laugh before?
I laughed? Did I?
Me?
How did yeu knew those guys were impersonating Mafty?
A person's body reveals who they are.
Right, I remember!
I laughed because I realized who calls themself Mafty Navue Erin,
the name for a rightful king of prophets.
It's you, Hathaway Noa, who calls himself that.
As you can see, I'm just an ordinary young man.
You're honest... I like that.
This girl can see through lies.
You might not like the way I put this, but...
Go ahead.
I wonder, what made you think that?
You were on the Haunzen,
but you're far too young, and how could you fight like that?
That was plenty.
Why?
When it comes to themselves, people really are fools.
- Tell me. - Can't you tell?
When you met those people using Mafty's name, you flew off the handle.
But that was... I was... No, never mind.
I won't tell anyone else about any of this.
I don't want you to dislike me.
But it's okay revealing it to you, right? How thrilling and fun !
Fun, huh?
But please remember that you can kill people with words.
That's not a figure of speech.
I... I'd never want anything like that...!
I...
Gigi Andalucia...
I'm not like that. I mean it.
I knew.
But the truth is something that must be handled slowly and carefully.
Yes, of course.
I've come to understand that recently.
I see. It must be hard for you.
Idiot!
Forget the conversation we had here.
I can't forget it.
You can't either, can you?
Excuse me.
Miss Gigi Andalucia, this way, please.
Coming.
Good grief.
...you were sitting in your own seat, correct?
Yes.
And in Captain Kenneth Sleg's seat was a wounded cabin attendant.
The Captain was sitting in an empty seat behind you.
I see.
Well, thank you, Mr. Noa.
That's enough for today.
This is your hotel card.
Please make free use of it.
We'll call you at 9:00 in the morning.
Please schedule for that.
If you like this place, you may keep staying at the same hotel.
Indefinitely?
Sure. As long as you're within Davao's jurisdiction,
the government will cover the charges on the card.
Wow! That's amazing.
You're the amazing one.
You don't look like you could win over a girl like that.
Huh?
Is that all your luggage?
I suppose.
It seems we're at the same hotel, so let's go.
Right.
What's the matter?
I'd hate to put us in danger, so I won't talk about it.
So the top floor is 43? What's up there?
Yes, ma'am. There's a restaurant, bar, and a dance floor.
Oh ! Let's go dancing, Hathaway!
I'll pass.
Incredible.
We've prepared two-bedroom suites for each of you.
These rooms are amazing.
Good grief.
Oh! You can leave Hathaway's suitcase in this room too.
What?
Gigi, that's a bad idea.
How come?
I'll use the room they gave me.
Oh, no! I don't want to be alone in such a big place.
Hathaway, you can use that bedroom.
All right. Please.
I'm glad you're in good spirits now.
I'm fine.
I came down to Earth to be in good spirits, after all.
- Will you be living in Hong Kong? - Nope.
I'm thinking the mountains of Japan would be good.
Japan?
- Can you get in there? - I can.
My mother's ancestors are from there.
So that's why you look like that.
Enough already.
The way Mafty does things isn't right.
If there's another way, Mafty would like to hear it.
- There is. - What is it?
The establishment of a dictatorship that never errs.
- Is that funny? - The thing is, see...
A person who could do that would be God.
Then you'd better become a god.
By the time someone like that appears, all of humanity will be gods.
Are you talking about Newtypes?
There's no such thing.
- Didn't they teach you that in school? - Yes, ad nauseam.
Exactly.
Do you mind if I use your shower?
Go for it. I'll use the other one.
I'd like to relax.
I don't want to have to be on my toes because you're around.
Same here.
There 's no sign the enemy knows who I am, but...
that girl, Gigi..
How should l deal with this situation?
Why there, of all places?
Gigi.
I'd like to take a look around outside.
How rude!
Look who's talking.
We're not married, and I didn't agree to stay with you.
Even if I had, I hate women who run around naked not caring where they are.
Did that hit a nerve?
Is she trying to trap me?
I'm going out for a walk.
Gigi!
Knock yourself out!
So she's that kind of woman, huh.
Was I being rash? I must have been.
Just like with Quess Paraya.
Were you followed?
I checked carefully all around me, sir.
The time is decided. There's no changing it.
I should hand this over to Iram, right?
What about Oenbelli?
It's true.
People who believe that Mafty's base is in Australia have been gathering there.
Is this Quack Salver's doing?
No. The general is happy about it, but we haven't had any contact with them.
- How many? - About 30,000, they say.
Incredible. You might even say it's the fruit of our labor.
- But you say Kimberley's made a move? - Yesterday.
Their main force has launched an attack.
And thanks to that, we have more freedom of movement.
Yes, but...
their incoming commander looks like trouble.
I knew.
The new mobile suit model was the new commander's doing, right?
- New model? - Word is they're testing it.
There doesn't seem to be a tracking function. I'm not sure...
but it seems to be set up so the payment history's unspecified.
They say the top officials have bottemless wallets.
I expected as much.
That's the system created in the corridors of power.
You're a diligent student, Mihessia.
You could live in luxury forever with this.
Don't say stuff like that in front of him !
I was joking !
Sorry.
What are your plans, Hathaway?
Tomorrow morning, you can assume
I'll be under surveillance by the military and the Bureau of Investigation.
Need a diversion?
If possible, I'd like te keep my Hathaway Noa cover intact.
And the woman with you?
I still don't know if she'll help my cover or turn out to be a Federation spy.
What do you mean?
All I can say is, she'd be dangereus as an enemy.
Anyway, a diversionary attack would be a good idea.
It'll be dangereus.
My suite is on the 32nd floor. Go for higher, and I'll be fine.
Bad news! Hunters!
Remain where you are until we've checked your residence permits!
Mihessia,
you were forcibly deported once, right?
- Yes! - This way!
Someone else will pick you up.
Please.
I said to line up !
- Show me your permit, quickly. - I'm getting it.
Hey, you there ! Wait!
- Hey, you ! - Come on !
Did they check you too? Your residence permit?
Of course. Does this happen a lot here?
Ever since the Federation Forces started building up, it's been terrible.
Why doesn't Mafty teach those Hunters a lesson?
Indeed.
They act like they're an army!
The Hunters here are bad, huh?
It's constantly like this. I wonder why Mafty doesn't strike back?
You're right.
They're the ones who have to be swept away.
He's too eggheaded, though.
He's trying to get everyone up into space, right?
That, I don't understand.
The environment in Davao isn't that polluted.
But there's less greenery now and people can't fish, right?
There's enough for everyone on the island to eat.
But Mafty's talking about a thousand years in the future.
He must have a lot of time on his hands.
I'm too busy making a living to think that far ahead.
- Too busy? - Right?
When I'm focusing on getting money to pay off some bigwig
so I can get an Earth residency permit,
I can't even think about the day after tomorrow!
The day after tomorrow?
Gigi.
This is Huguest of the Bureau of Investigation.
Mr. Hathaway Noa, we've arranged a car for you at 10:00 tomorrow morning.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Hello!
What's this? A hero like you eating in a place like this?
What's the matter?
What are you saying?
You abandoned me to go for a walk, so he came here to eat with me.
We're going now.
Even though he's so busy, the Captain is very kind.
Staying in the same suite? Not bad.
Where are you going?
I'm not telling.
You two will spend tonight together, right?
I've got to snatch her away before that.
Go right ahead. I'm not bothered.
You don't care?
I have no such intentions towards her.
More importantly, what about these statements?
We've decided to have the cabinet ministers come to our base.
In your case, after the Bureau is done with you,
you can just sign the statement I'm preparing for you.
I did some digging on you.
During Char's Rebellion, you were just a kid, but you shot down an enemy.
Yes, aganst military regulations.
It was a headache for my father.
Being able to do that with no training is a big deal.
Although it was also because the military was disorganized.
I suppose so.
I'm quite exasperated by my predecessor Kimberley.
Are you talking about him attacking Oenbelli?
He's doing it to spite me.
I was supposed to be assuming command in three days.
But he's looking for some battle results before he goes back to space.
You've got a lot on your hands.
I'm a commoner. It's like this. I wish I'd had a better father.
Your father can also be a source of pressure.
You think so?
Thanks for waiting.
Captain, could I ask you to do this for me?
All right now!
He's too eggheaded, though.
I don't mind them acting tough and taking on the big guys, but...
The way Mafty does things isn't right.
I know that. I know this way of doing things is...
So tell me.
Tell me how to destroy the depths of these mechanisms.
All humanity can't live on Earth together.
If I don't do something, there'll be no consolation
for Char's Rebellion, or the souls of these who died in it.
As long as there are exceptions to the rules, people will try to cheat.
No obstacles in front of our Galcezon.
We'll enter the visible area in 100 seconds.
Expect interference to appear immediately.
Roger that!
We're talking about these Kimberley fools. Won't it take them 15 minutes to get here?
Word is they've got a newly appointed commander.
And a new model, I heard.
Don't underestimate them, Gawman.
He just get here yesterday. It won't make any difference.
The fools have left 7 cabinet ministers sleeping like babies in Davao.
Got it? We'll withdraw no later than 10 minutes.
Loud and clear, Mr. Civet.
Let's go, Golf!
Come on, Fencer!
Listen up, Gawman. The interval is 180 seconds.
Hathaway is...
Is Kimberley responding that fast?
Do a good job, Golf and Fencer!
My condolences to the souls of those who get caught in the crossfire.
Forgive us.
Are they here?
Gigi! It's an air raid! Get up!
What?
Get your shoes on! This place is a target too!
Why?
Because those Federation bigwigs are staying here !
Is it Mafty?
I don't knew. An air attack on an urban area?!
But you're Mafty Erin!
Mafty is an organization. It's not a single individual.
Liar.
Another minute and a half.
I can't stand this.
Guests first!
Hathaway!
Aren't you...?
- We're guests here. - Oh.
Sir.
It's fine. Let's get in.
It doesn't seem like it's going to stop, does it?
If we're bombed, it will stop.
Will our secret be out now?
Why did you ask me?
I was betting on your instincts.
Well then, clear up that confusing conversation from before.
They're regrouping.
Fencer?
Damn it! Hathaway!
Now run for it, lad.
I knew it. You do scary things.
Did you hear that? It sounded like bombs.
Maybe I did hear it.
They got us!
- We're done for! - Sir!
Gigi.
It's all right. It still works.
- What was that tremor?! - It's a Mafty air raid!
The Regent Hotel's on fire too!
Cabinet ministers are staying here too!
Hathaway!
This way!
Stay strong, sir!
You're leaving me?
Of course not. I wouldn't do that.
Let's go!
Why is he running that way?!
Yikes!
Damn it!
What?!
A mobile suit!
If that's the new model, Anaheim must have made it!
Can a new commander make this much difference? !
C'mon. If you can't go ahead and fire--
Are you people insane?!
What is he doing?!
I don't like this.
It feels like your weakness has come to light.
Damn it! Stubbern bastard !
Damn it! What am I doing at a time like this?!
Stand up !
There's a park! Over there !
- Gigi, are you okay? - They're coming down !
I'm now dealing with enemies... many kinds!
Gawman?
Look up!
Gigi! Over here!
Gawman! Damn it!
It's this woman's fault.
Do I want to ruin everything again?!
Emeralda...
I should just leave her and run over there!
- That's all there is to it. - Awful...
This is awful. So awful. I'm afraid!
It truly is awful!
Never mind that!
Run for it!
Gawma...
Well? This was faster, right?
The ones in cars are stuck!
Over there.
That?
Captain!
He's right! Because it can't be done...
Gigi! And Hathaway too!
Captain, I was so afraid!
Get in the cockpit. It's warm.
Okay!
See to this girl.
This way.
Is that it? The mobile suit from Mafty or whatever.
Yes. This is my first time seeing the real thing, too.
That's the Penelope.
That's the Gundam I sent here before I took this post.
A Gundam?
So it's an ace's machine.
He still hasn't drawn out its full performance.
I guess I overestimated Lane Aim.
Lane Aim?
A Gundam...
Don't harm the prisoner!
That's our first Mafty prisoner!
We'll question you nice and slow. Look forward to it!
All right! Take him away!
They're a real headache.
We'll all end up seeing Mafty's video statement shortly.
Lane Aim!
Over here!
You took down one machine, but we lost three.
When you fight live human beings, is that your best?
Sir!
Perform like that again, and I'll put the Penelope in Hathaway Noa's hands!
Hey, now!
Go now, and take good care of the Penelope.
Yes, sir!
He's exceptional as a test pilot, but not in the field.
He looks pretty game, though.
He's like me in the old days.
Huh?
Well, when I stole that military mobile suit,
I was overconfident too. I'm reminded of that.
Cold, isn't it? Go on it.
Want some?
Sure.
I thought she meant in another cup.
So you were in the air raid?
We were in the Tasaday Hotel.
Boy, that must have been rough.
It was scary, huh !
Hey, you! There's more over here!
- Yes, sir! - Get those vehicles over here!
What do you think?
Good choices with what you could buy at the military store.
Jeez, you're difficult.
Excuse me, the Captain is running late, but he would like to join you.
- I see. - What shall we eat, I wonder?
Someone from the Bureau of Investigation will be here at 10:00 to meet you as well.
Understood.
I've decided on the new name.
- What are you talking about? - The name of the Kimberley Unit.
It's weak, isn't it? There's no obligation to keep it.
On the other hand, "Kenneth Unit" would sound massively egotistical.
What do you think it is?
I don't knew.
The South Pacific Unit?
That would be silly! It's the Circe Unit. Good name, isn't it?
It's weird. It doesn't sound tough.
Circe? I've heard of that.
Oh, I see! You mean that famous Circe?
Circe, the enchantress who makes fierce animals obedient.
Daughter of Helios, god of the sun.
That's right. It's the name of a goddess.
And, Gigi, it would seem you have the power to make fierce men obedient.
Huh? Isn't that goddess...?
Yes. You're a special person.
Gigi, would you spend the night with me?
In a time of emergency like this?
What I mean is, you're a goddess of luck.
If you sleep with me, the Circe Unit will gain the power of a true Circe.
Captain!
I hate you talking like that.
Ah. Apparently, there's another man here who wants to hit on you.
Commander!
Search teams up to the 4th Squadron have been dispatched!
- What would you like done next? - Send them all out. All of them!
Sir, all of them?
- Make the arrangements immediately! - Understood, sir!
Look, you see? You're still a child.
Even so, I hate the jaded way you adults talk, Captain.
Leave me out of it.
It was all because of your indecisiveness.
And you're too blatant and crude.
Sometimes you act like a shy youngster unexpectedly.
Did you get your heart broken real bad in the past?
I'll go sleep until the Bureau of Investigation gets here.
Good idea. Thanks to Mafty, I won't be getting much sleep for a while.
They've killed 18 cabinet ministers now.
- What's wrong? - Well...
However high his ideals, if he's killing peeple like that,
I think Mafty will eventually be sacrificed.
Yes. And I'll be the one to take his head.
I see. Thank you.
We won't need to call you back anymore.
But why were there so many ministers on that flight,
when it was entering this airspace that Mafty is in?
- And they were in that conspicuous hotel. - We don't know.
I'm assigned to this backwater. I don't know about space matters.
The one thing I can say is,
we'll see more and more people showing up using the Mafty name.
And it doesn't matter whether they're the real thing or imposters.
Their tactic is terrorism. In the end, peeple won't support them.
You can leave that.
It won't come up as any souvenir.
I guess not.
I'm sorry for all the commotion, but I just get transferred here too.
It's too bad though.
If you'd joined this unit, I could've assigned the Penelope to you.
I told you. My combat feats were a fluke, and caused problems for my father.
It's hard being the son of a famous father too, huh.
Not completely. Girls would often come talk to me about him.
I'll be on my way, then.
Will you say goodbye to Gigi?
If I see her, I'll have second thoughts. Please give her my regards.
I don't know where she's settling down.
You don't know?
It's suspicious.
The residence she declared is an unoccupied apartment.
Did she actually keep her mouth shut?
No. Right now, she might be telling Kenneth everything.
Mr. Noa, we'll be at the ferry terminal soon.
Oh, drop me off around there.
Thanks, Granny and Grandpa! I'll come back again some time!
- One adult ticket to Sulawesi. - Understood.
Should I get an evening ticket?
However, this is an age in which humanity living on Earth is considered a sin.
We wish you to understand that in the depths of your hearts.
The current Earth Federation government has forgotten the meaning
- of migration to space, - What the?
- We had to attack to make them - Mafty's hijacked the airwaves.
- reflect on this. - This is no joke.
- Furthermore, - They attack as they please!
- regardless of any declaration of war... - Damn terrorists!
Welcome, welcome ! Step right up !
Can't you go deliver it?
Thank you!
Welcome!
Over here!
Hey, wait up!
Have you heard of the Nejen?
Come on! I've been paid for this!
Would you like me to explain the landscape?
No, thanks.
I guess the sea's not really your thing, huh?
That woman said so.
Boy, I like an older woman!
That's nice. I wish I could find one too.
- The suitcase is in a coin locker. - And the key?
- In my jacket pocket. - Hurry!
Come again some time !
Sure!
What's all this about?
I've just bailed out on some strange relationships
that I formed on the Haunzen.
I guess none of those peeple would imagine they were with the real Mafty.
No. Kenneth would definitely realize.
Huh?
Even if Gigi told him nothing.
So Hathaway left without saying anything to me?
He said if you met, he'd have second thoughts.
Don't you think that's rude?
As a man, I understand.
Oh?
When our operation slows down, I'll take you to Hong Kong.
I've arranged a cottage for you until then.
How kind.
Or is it that you can't relax unless you have me under your eye?
I did some digging.
You applied for the Haunzen through Boundenwooden's referral.
Are you related to him?
Of course not.
So why were you on the Haunzen?
Because I have a close relationship with Count Boundenwooden.
Now you've heard that, I'm sure you understand everything.
And you'll feel that arranging a cottage for me was wasteful.
Not at all. The Count must be in his eighties.
That's right.
He's a man in good health, but also a man who is lonely.
Your apartment in Hong Kong is unoccupied.
The Count bought it for me. I'm going to see it for the first time.
Is that it?
My true form is disgraceful, isn't it?
I'll be gone soon.
No, wait a minute.
It would be fine if you stayed.
I have a hunch that you're a goddess of victory.
That's a stretch.
People on the battlefield tend to be superstitious.
I wonder.
But Hathaway actually avoided me.
That's because he wasn't a real soldier.
Also...
Gigi, what did you just say?
Huh?
Did Hathaway tell you something?
Or did you sense something about him?
Emme.
Raymond.
That Iram! A damned midair pickup!
- You'd better get ready too! - What for?
Sorry, but I'd like you to support Maximilian.
- Hathaway! - Oh, Hathaway.
Mafty!
Civet. I'm sorry about Gawman.
- Don't be. - We need to consider a rescue operation.
Right.
- What about the Valiant? - Should be arriving at the planned area.
- And what about this midair pickup? - I talked with Mihessia.
Are we being too over-cautious?
No. It's a good idea.
Yesterday and today, a force calling themselves Mafty's 1st Army
sent us text requests for cover.
From Oenbelli?
The town's being attacked by more than ten of Kimberley's Gustav Karls.
Damn it.
They're disrupting our work despite themselves.
We only have one chance.
I want to keep it from falling into Federation hands.
We're walking a tightrope.
That's what it's going to be from here on out.
What is it?
We've intercepted a signal from what looks like a nearby enemy submarine.
Unit 3, Fencer, I'm okay!
Roger that! Let's do this.
Nexl up, Golf! I'm okay! Civet!
2 Galcezon launching !
The submarine the signal came from hid behind Tidore Island,
and seems to be in the sea west of Makian Island
We're counting on you, Civet.
Yeu have permission to shoot them down. Take them out!
Leave it to us.
What's the submarine saying?
They're asking about the water landing of the jet you came on.
Even if it can't make it all the way with all these Minovsky particles,
they could get through to Davao via nearby vessels.
I've never heard of any submarines in Davao.
It seems the new commander is making lots of changes.
Yes. We can't be too careful of that man called Kenneth Sleg.
Captain Kenneth.
This is it. The cruiser that entered the bay once and then withdrew.
Press the Harber Bureau and the Naval Force.
Have them report on any movement no matter how small!
We're shorthanded here. Tell them to do their share!
Is the Davao police chief answering?
Did we do it?
- I'm not sure. - We can't know from above?
Please wait a moment longer.
Iram.
We have no choice.
Hew long are we going to be on standby here, Lieutenant Lane?!
How does it look?
You shouldn't have any trouble, but I can't guarantee you'll make it back.
Huh?
Am I really going to do this?
Oh, I know.
We don't have any spare pilots available for this.
Emme, pick up the pace!
Get that data into the Messer, quick.
I knew already!
This is an insane operation. Eh, Hathaway?
I'm sorry, Raymond.
It's all right. I'll make sure I get you there.
Please!
This is an operation we can't let you take part in, Raymond.
Well, she's the one I feel sorry for.
The owner of the cruiser is a Side 3 parliament official.
At present, he's on a ship headed to Hong Kong for the Adelaide conference.
Message from the Naval Force!
Unidentified forces detected
over the center and west coast of Halmahera Island!
I keep telling you.
If I knew everything, that would be dangerous.
I really don't know anything.
Mr. Gawman Nobile.
- Yeah? - I finally remembered.
Something about when I met Hathaway Noa.
He's famous, huh. The son of Bright Noa.
Hathaway has a deep connection to Mafty. Am I right?
Yeah, he's Mafty. He plays the role of Mafty Erin as himself.
As himself? Then somebody must be pulling his strings.
Who is it?!
If you don't want to talk, I'm happy to set you up as Mafty
and send you to the gallows.
I really don't know.
I've heard rumors though.
That Mafty must be the ghost of Char Aznable.
Fine then.
If yeu won't talk, then that makes it all the more fun for me.
A mobile suit?
It's the Penelope.
I'm Lieutenant Lane Aim.
Captain Kenneth said to use you as a hostage.
In other words, use you as a shield if things start to look bad.
You bastards! That's foul!
I hardly think so.
Unlike Mafty's indiscriminate terrorist attacks,
only one human life will be lost... yours.
But I don't do things like that.
I guarantee your life as long as I can fight in the Penelope.
- Check the cartridge supply! - Right, that's good.
That thing was an antique!
- It's all fixed here! - Move it now!
We can only load it that much.
- Hurry up! - The least amount you need here.
What the hell's going on?
Apparently, 3 Kessarias and that new model have taken off from Davao.
They're headed this way!
But we sank that run-down submarine!
Hey, Iram.
We'll ditch this base, and join the Valiant and Seawrack.
Is he serious?
Matching azimuth angle to that of Cargo Pisa, which is ready for descent.
Wait.
Database variables are feasible. Disengaging booster bed.
Three, two, one.
Will we catch it?
Don't know. No one would ever do something this stupid.
How are you doing, Emme?
Good, as long as you don't mess up, Raymond.
Hey, watch your mouth.
Cargo detected! Rear and to the right!
30 degrees!
Yes, I can see it.
- Purging shields! - Activating visual display.
Emeralda, do a final enemy search of the area.
Roger.
Above left!
What is that thing?
- The one from before? - Must be.
Raymond, enemy incoming!
Go for it, Emme!
There's no second chances now!
I'm fine with a little damage. Ram into it!
My thoughts exactly!
Here it comes. Don't leave it all up to the machine!
I'm doing it!
Well done, Emeralda.
Sorry.
The thing that brought about this situation was my naiveté.
Coming back from Anaheim,
I used the Haunzen under the name Hathaway Noa
because in the end, I couldn't give up the idea
of seeing the cabinet ministers' faces.
And now that's exposed everyone to danger.
Isn't that right, Quess?
If that's your answer,
I'll change.
I will change...
...into Mafly Navue Erin!
Well done making it here on your own, Xi G.
Flying objects launched 150 km off west coast of Halmahera.
- Where's the Lane team? - 200 km north of Halmahera.
It's unlikely we can contact them.
We have no choice but to trust Lane's judgment.
Keep transmitting to the Lane team!
It's him. That physicality.
And if it is him...
Mafly Navue Erin!
Is that Mafty's doing too?
Lane team, intercept descending object.
I'll cut them eff.
These strange human relationships. And Gigi Andalucia too!
Damn gravity!
I'm hit!
The grim reaper won't come when you're ready for him, Hathaway.
Mind your own business!
I'm losing my touch! Is it because of Gigi?
The sea!
If I don't get out now, the Valiant will be in trouble too!
This has to work out somehow!
What?!
They dodged? They dodged?
Even Mafty can get hold of a Gundam.
A Gundam?
With a Minovsky flight system?
Don't follow! They'll target us!
Don't insult me!
I can handle this much!
Take a good look! He's coming from the side this time!
Right side!
- Now climb! - I know!
I've lost my footing! Descending to the small island on port side!
What's next?
Lane!
So Mafty's bringing out a Gundam copy, eh?
Get back, or he'll get us!
- Shut up! - Gawman?
Gawman! Are you betraying us, or being used as a shield?
Answer me !
A shield? No!
I'm not like Commander Kenneth!
Forget about me!
Destroy this new model! Please!
Penelope Pilot!
Lane Aim! So you can't fight unless you have a hostage?
You're pathetic!
You know my name?
You can have him! I only did this because the Captain ordered it!
Is this a trick? Or could it be...
Lane Aim. An honorable man.
Gawman!
Next comes hell!
So it would seem.
I didn't wait for you out of mercy, you imitation Gundam!
I want to settle this in one stroke. But can I?
You show him, Mafty!
Here he comes.
That fool!
He's fast!
You're not getting away!
I'm alive.
How can this be?
He must've gone down too.
I must have finished him off.
Is Lane safe and sound?
Considering the damage to his machine, it's a miracle he made it back alive.
You really are a goddess of luck after all.
Am I? I don't feel it myself.
The fact that you've survived on your own, is proof of your good fortune.
I have my own plans, though.
I feel bad for the Count.
About Hong Kong?
Well, people always have obligations.
Yes. It's an obligation.
Life can be such a nuisance.
I'm not that obsessed with living.
Not me.
- Hey! - You did great!
Julia, equipment repairs are the priority!
Heavens!
Beam rifle's gone.
He used it as a decoy. To draw the Penelope's fire.
Like how?
I launched it, then sent it flying.
It fired the wrong way, and I almost got hit myself.
If you hadn't made that hit-and-run attack, I'd be dead.
Right, Hathaway?
Stay still!
Whoa! How cool!
Damn it. The spare parts are probably at the bottem of the ocean.
Forget about it! The leader's machine gets targeted first, anyway.
No way. I get that from Hathaway.
If you're in good shape, we'll go scout out Oenbelli at once.
Everyone got that?
Naturally!
Of course. That's what the ship captain is planning.
And now Maximilian has to give it his all.
There's a problem with Maximilian's work, though.
We only recovered half the spare parts for the Xi, the rest sank.
Kelia, you've joined us already?
Well, coming back from Hong Kong was easier than returning from space.
Hathaway's father is still in the military, right?
You can't expect parent and child to be the same.
Of course.
I'm going to test out whether I'm as lucky as you say, Captain.
- I'll be here two or three days. - That's a good idea.
That may just make things interesting.
Who knows...
