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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
FAYE: It's easier to divide 8 million between two than three.
|
|
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!
|
|
JET: Do you have something against someone like that? I mean, they might've
|
|
all been like that when you were young...
|
|
FAYE: You're saying I look older than you?
|
|
JET: You can't tell a woman's age just by looking at her.
|
|
Faye stomps Jet's foot.
|
|
FAYE: Exactly. You can't tell just by looking that I can do things like
|
|
this.
|
|
Faye exits.
|
|
JET: That's ALL I know of you.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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?
|
|
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!
|
|
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.
|
|
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!
|
|
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...

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:
