SESSION #9 - JAMMING WITH EDWARD
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPENING CREDITS
A satellite in Earth space.
SATELLITE: Here, nobody, here. Always, alone.
The satellite sends a signal causing sub satellites to shoot lasers onto Earth's surface, burning peculiar shapes.
Session #9
JAMMING WITH EDWARD
Earth. A child known as Ed lies on her back on a pile of ruins.
WEATHER REPORT: Slight rock showers. Chance of rock showers today is 20%. 39th district is cloudy. Chance of rock showers this afternoon is 10%.
Ed surfs the Solar System Web and finds the Bebop.
ED: Bebop, here, here! Welcome!
Meteors rain down, sending Ed flying.
WEATHER REPORT: Chance of rock showers today is 90%...
The Bebop. A television news show, hosted by news anchor, Tom Wiles, discusses the land carvings.
TOM: Now it's time for today's news topics. Today, we'll discuss the mysterious land paintings that suddenly appeared in what was South America. As usual we have commentaries by a researcher of supernatural phenomena.
YUURI: Me, Yuuri Kellerman.
TOM: Yuuri, about these land paintings...
YUURI: Yes, yes. Well, I believe that is was some sort of a message.
TOM: Um, who would it be from...? Can it be...?
YUURI: Aliens! It has to be from aliens!
TOM: However, the land paintings were drawn by lasers coming from satellites. The police think it was a prank pulled by a hacker who got into the satellite. They already have a bounty of 8 million Woolongs on the culprit.
衛星に詳しいハッカーによるいたずら
Jet and Faye begin to listen attentively.
YUURI: Listen carefully. The bounty of 8 million is a conspiracy of the government. Even if it WAS drawn by a laser, there IS the possibility that aliens put a message into the brain of that hacker. Once again, the government is hiding something from us.
TOM: I see... a secret cult...
YUURI: Yes! And THAT is the mystery that I have been searching for all this time!
Earth. Edward dances in the sunset.
The Bebop.
SPIKE: I'll pass on this one after all.
JET: You're leaving me alone with her?
SPIKE: Nothing wrong with it. She's gung-ho about it.
熱心
JET: I'm not the type to be led around by women.
SPIKE: Then lead HER around.
JET: I'm even less the type to do that.
おもしろいやりとりとうまい表現だと思う
FAYE: It's easier to divide 8 million between two than three.
800万は３で割るより2で割る方がやりやすい
割り算の場合はdevide between
JET: Here we go.
FAYE: I'm appalled. You're afraid of hackers?
SPIKE: I just hate tedious work like that.
FAYE: Guys cheap enough to hack into things are depressed pale fatsos with glasses. And I'm sure he's a demented otaku with smelly feet. Piece of cake!
オタクの一般的イメージ
発狂した、メンタルをやられたぐらいの意味か
JET: Do you have something against someone like that? I mean, they might've all been like that when you were young...
someは特定していない何かという意味合いなので、誰かに対して（何か恨みでも）あるのかというような表現だと思う。オタクに対するフェイの言い方があまりにひどかったので。
過去完了形 かつてそのようであったかもしれない
FAYE: You're saying I look older than you?
JET: You can't tell a woman's age just by looking at her.
女性は外見で何歳かあてるのは難しい
Faye stomps Jet's foot.
FAYE: Exactly. You can't tell just by looking that I can do things like this.
こんなことをする女には見えないでしょう
Faye exits.
JET: That's ALL I know of you.
know of で一部を知っているの意。俺が知っているお前の全てだ（一部しか知らないが）
SPIKE: You guys make a good team.
FAYE: Hurry up!
SPIKE: I'll be waiting for a souvenir from Earth.
JET: There's nothing made on Earth that's good.
Another television news show discusses the land carvings.
ANCHOR: Well, about this incident, apparently, a pretty old artificial satellite has been hacked into. The investigation is taking longer than expected because the access code to that satellite has been long lost. Now, a commentary from Mr. Amjad.
AMJAD: Yes, yes.
ANCHOR: About the relationship between Earth and the hacker-
AMJAD: Yes. Since the gate accident 50 years ago, the people of Earth have migrated underground as a result. To them, the "space network" created by computers is necessary for them to stay in contact with those living in space.
ANCHOR: I see. That's becoming a foundation to create outstanding hackers.
Earth. Ed flies a homemade model of the Bebop with a handheld device. A police ship lands outside. The shockwave sends Ed into a pile of junk. Policemen kick down the door.
POLICEMAN A: Radical Edward! It's the police! Come out!
Ed emerges from the pile of junk.
ED: Yeah!
POLICEMAN B: What? What's wrong?
POLICEMAN A: I saw it!
Ed takes control of the police ship with her handheld device. The ship starts up and lifts off the ground.
POLICEMAN B: Why?!
POLICEMAN A: There's nobody in there!
The policemen rush to the window.
Ed flies the ship in playful formations and accidentally crashes it.
遊び心、ふざけた
ED: Mistake, mistake.
The Bebop lands in Earth water. A map of Earth's satellite orbits is displayed in the control room.
FAYE: Okay. This is where the satellite was when it was hacked. This is where it could be accessed from. I'll look at all the antennae that can transmit light signals one by one.
JET: I'll ask around for info on any prominent hackers in the area.
重要性があり、目立つ
Hammerhead and Red Tail take off.
The Bebop. Living room. A yellow cartoon face zooms around the monitor. Ein hops onto the table and barks it. The face laughs and scares Ein away.
Earth. Ed's home.
ED: Bebop's lookin' for land picture criminal... All right!
Ed dives into the Solar System Network.
ED: Satellite of long, long ago, where in the world is your access code?
Hammerhead and Red Tail on Earth.
FAYE: Okay. Let's start with all the antennae that are currently communicating...
The Red Tail's monitor displays dozens upon dozens of transmitters.
Jet lands in an abandoned train station to gather information. Jet approaches a hippy.
HIPPY: That's probably Ed, man. I hear he's a huge guy, 2 meters tall. Supposedly, he used to be a basketball player.
Jet approaches an Indian man.
INDIAN MAN: Yeah, I know Ed. Radical Edward. I hear she's a very beautiful yet whimsical hacker.
Jet approaches an old man.
OLD MAN: No, no, that hacker is a child. A brat that loves horrible pranks, I hear.
手に負えないガキ
Jet approaches a middle-aged woman.
WOMAN: Oh, what I heard from the lady next door is that that hacker is gay.
Jet approaches a little kid holding boxes.
KID: Hacker? You mean Ed? He's an alien! That's what everyone says!
Jet gives up.
KID: Hey, man! Can you buy some of this as the price for the info?
JET: What is that?
KID: You don't know? It's "Piyoko," a well-known specialty of Earth!
Ed's home.
ED: The stolen satellites... Where are you?
Ed finds the satellite and hacks into it.
ED: Huh? What's this? The information isn't connected to Earth... It's connected only between satellites. And nobody hacked into it...
SATELLITE: Here, nobody, here. Always, alone.
ED: A voice... inside... head...
EYECATCH
ED: Who are you? Eh? What? What did you just say?
SATELLITE: Who, you? Here, always.
ED: Edward. A net diver from Earth.
SATELLITE: Earth?
ED: Yup, Hey, what's your name?
SATELLITE: I am the satellite control program on the D-135 artificial satellite.
ED: What's that? Don't you have a nickname? Then Ed will give you one. I know! Because you're a computer, you can be MPU! MPU! Cool name!
MPU: Um...
ED: Ed is Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV. Ed for short! Nice to meet you!
Back on the Bebop. Jet places a Piyoko on the living room table.
JET: Here. A souvenir from Earth.
SPIKE: Is this food?
FAYE: It makes me doubt that they have any sense.
JET: Unlike you, I learned some information. They said that an unknown hacker named Radical Edward is the suspicious one.
FAYE: It doesn't mean anything if he's unknown.
JET: I know, more or less.
Spike feeds the Piyoko to Ein.
SPIKE: It seems okay.
FAYE: What kinda thing is it?
Faye reaches for the Piyokos. Jet takes the box away.
JET: 2 meters tall. Ex-basketball player. Beautiful kid. And on top of it, a gay alien.
Earth. Ed's home.
ED: Why did you doodle on Earth?
doodle：いたずら書きをする
MPU: Long, long ago, long before the Gate Accident, Earth was a beautiful planet where many people lived. And back then on Earth, there were many pictures like this, and I always looked at them. I remembered those times and I tried to recreate at least the pictures.
ED: I see, doodles like this were on Earth long ago, too.
MPU: Yes. I recreated them with a 2% margin of error.
ED: MPU is good at drawing. Can Ed draw something too?
MPU's connection with Ed begins to fade.
ED: Huh? What's wrong?
MPU: This is... The police are putting out a jamming signal...
MPU fades out.
ED: Hey! MPU! Heeey!
The Bebop. The monitor indicates Ed's connection to the satellite is jammed.
JET: Looks like the cops touched base with Radical Edward as well.
The monitor flashes and displays Ed.
ED: Listen! I found your bounty!
JET: What the...?
ED: Bebop! The real culprit in the satellite-jacking wasn't a hacker!
SPIKE: Since when do we have an interactive channel?
JET: No, that's not it. This is a real-time hack job.
FAYE: Who is this kid?
ED: I'll send you MPU's data now.
FAYE: Wait a minute, what is MPU?
ED: A friend of Ed's.
SPIKE: Hey, do you know Ed?
ED: Yeah, because Ed is Ed.
FAYE: I don't care about that. Who did it?
ED: Um... I could tell you. But I have a favor to ask in return.
FAYE: A favor? Yeah, yeah. Yer big sister will listen to ya later. Come on, hurry it up.
Later.
JET: I see. The AI from the abandoned satellite is doodling of its own will.
FAYE: What? What's up?
JET: And on top of that, it was supposedly listed as a weather satellite so nobody suspected anything.
FAYE: Then this satellite is our bounty?
ED: Since the access code to MPU can't be used anymore you need to go directly to the satellite.
JET: And what do we do?
ED: Break the antennae that it uses to communicate with the other satellites. Then make a direct connection to the satellite, and download MPU. And when you do, don't use computer support for firing or flying.
JET: What? All manual?
ED: Yup. If it notices you, all the attack satellites connected to MPU will automatically fire back. Is this hard?
JET: It's not just hard, it's downright impossible. It's like playing baseball with no bat!
難しいなんてものじゃない、全く不可能だ。バット無しで野球をするようなものだ
Spike heads for Swordfish.
JET: Hey, Spike.
SPIKE: That's the kind of stuff I like.
The Bebop leaves Earth. Faye chats with Ed.
FAYE: Hey, wait, you, how do you know about us?
ED: I know everything. Last week, you let Ajiz, a bounty on Mars worth 1.5 million, get away... And in Pyortle before that, the police got to them first...
FAYE: Are you really that hacker Radical Edward?!
ED: Yeah. You've heard?
Swordfish takes off, missiles attached. Spike, in space suit, reconfigures the wiring.
配線を設定しなおす
JET: Connect D-7 to #2. That way, the main cannon will fire without a computer.
SPIKE: I'm trusting you, man...
JET: Now listen. Avoid using the missile if you can help it. It's expensive.
SPIKE: Roger.
JET: 1200 to target. It's almost time to cut off computer controls. Now, the only chance...
SPIKE: Once is enough.
Spike shuts off Swordfish's systems.
The Bebop. Faye continues her chat with Ed.
FAYE: Anyway, you can prove that the satellite itself and not a hacker, is the bounty, right?
ED: Ed can do that. Anyway, please, listen to my favor. Then I'll give you all the bounty too.
FAYE: Oh, you're a surprisingly good kid!
Earth space. Spike approaches MPU.
SPIKE: That's it...?
MPU detects Spike.
MPU: Someone...
Spike fires the laser cannon at MPU.
JET: How was it?
FAYE: Did you get it?
SPIKE: No, I missed! The satellite in front of it shielded the blast!
Spike ignites the Swordfish. Lasers fire at him.
JET: Then, you have to shoot down all the satellites.
FAYE: ALL of them?!
Red Tail takes off.
JET: If you don't, they'll shoot US down!
Spike fires a missile at a satellite. It completely misses.
SPIKE: ECM, eh?
JET: Cheap ones are no good after all...
Spike dodges MPU's lasers, flying through Earth orbit debris. Faye dodges lasers and fires back.
JET: This is getting pointless.
ED: Approach to within 20 meters of MPU! That way, the other satellites can't attack!
JET: However...
ED: Until then, Faye will act as a decoy!
それまでフェイがおとりになるよ
FAYE: ME?!
SPIKE: Yeah, thanks!
Swordfish stops right next to MPU.
FAYE: Come on, hurry up!
Spike connects a wire to MPU.
SPIKE: All right, it's all yours!
Earth. Ed connects to MPU.
ED: MPU! MPU? MPU?!
MPU: Oh, Ed! Ed, we meet again.
ED: They have a bounty on you, MPU.
MPU: Bounty?
ED: Yup, but if we copy you and let them catch that, you'll be all right.
MPU: All right?
ED: And you must be lonely there alone, MPU. If you come over here, there are lots of friends.
MPU: Friends?
ED: Here. It's not scary.
Ed downloads MPU.
The news.
ANCHOR: And so, the strange end to this case. The captured criminal was the AI program for a spy satellite that was launched before the Earth was ruined. According to government sources from back then, it supposedly would continue activity on its own even without commands from Earth.
Earth. A police station. Spike and Jet walk out disappointed.
JET: Well, it was the perfect excuse for the cops to go on a hacker hunt. But anyway, why did it start doodling on the Earth with a laser all of a sudden?
SPIKE: I'm sure that was because it got lonely.
Ed jumps up and down on a rocky shore.
ED: Yoohoo! Bebop! Hey, over here! Hurry! Promise, promise!
The Bebop.
FAYE: Well, let's get going now!
JET: But the kid is saying something about a promise...
FAYE: Promises are made to be broken. Anyway, let's get going! Liftoff!
The Bebop takes off.
ED: Not coming, not coming.
Ed takes control of the Bebop with the handheld device.
FAYE: What is this? What's going on?!
SPIKE: What did you promise?
The Bebop splashes down.
ED: It's a promise... to be a member of the Bebop.
The Bebop. Big Shot is on the monitor.
PUNCH: AMIGO, all you bounty hunters!
JUDY: It's finally time for BIG SHOT!
PUNCH: Now, today's hot news. You've heard about the doodling satellite that got caught, right?
JUDY: Of course! It had a big bounty on it!
PUNCH: Just a few moments ago, the Earth police made an official report.
JUDY: What was it?
Punch reads the report.
PUNCH: Let's see. "This bounty is only for when humans or other life-forms are the targets. It is difficult to determine whether or not a computer program is a life-form. To begin with, from the viewpoint of biological logistics..."
JUDY: What's that? I don't understand well.
PUNCH: In other words, they can't pay up on non-living things!
JUDY: Oh, my! To those who caught it, I feel sorry for you!
Jet turns off the monitor.
SPIKE: Hey, Jet, did you know that there are three things that I hate?
JET: Whatever...
SPIKE: Rugrats... beasts... and tomboys.
JET: Oh?
SPIKE: Don't give me that! Why do we have all three neatly gathered here?!
ED: Ed loves Piyokos!
JET: And once again we didn't get any bounty...
FAYE: Hey, wait, you're a girl?
JET: Really, nothing good comes outta Earth!
SEE YOU SPACE COWBOY...
CLOSING CREDITS
COMING EPISODE
FAYE: No regrets about the woman who ran away but a small thorn still pricks the heart. Letting one flow along with time itself, living all alone from that day to this. But to the sounds of waves that come and go, the migrating birds find their hearts drawn. Next episode:
"Ganymede Elegy." Jet Black will sing it up full of soul.
