Cutie Honey: Tears (2016)

[bunniefuu]

This way, Hitomi

This way, hurry.

Father...

No, don't do it.
Run away Hitomi!

Hitomi, you have to run.

This area is off-limits.
You were warned.

Let me go!
-Shut up, kid.

What the...

Dang...

You piece of sh*t.
-Get back here.

This is Block F220,
There is rubble falling down.

Wow.

That was close.

Hè?

I just got a notification that...
-I don't care.

What I need is...

Keep searching.

Because of the contamination
the number of regions where life was still enjoyable

had shrunk.

That's why they devised a project.

They created a vertical

multi-layered and self-sufficient city:

The special zone of Tatehama,
the utopia of a metropolis.

But one day, a certain being
started its demise

Sinner or savior?
-Doesn't that sound good, chief?

Or a mysterious hero?

Hayami, that's just ridiculous.
-But...

Oh...
-Good morning.

The inhabitants of the ground floor are dreamers.

They made that up.
-No, that story is real.

I saw that hero with my own two eyes.

Hayami, the articles that you write
are too dangerous.

Right.

But...

Because of your lugubrious stories
our profit did double.

So just keep writing.
-Of course.

Say...



Expansion of endangered neighbourhoods.

Lady Jiru, the number of malfunctions
in the city is growing

Perhaps the condition of the
artificial intelligence worsened.

I know.

If only we could get them...

Good morning, Lady Jiru.
Can I help you with something?

Aren't you the journalist called Hayami?
-So you know who I am

It's a great honour

A very great honour.
-You've seen her, right?

Who?

The one you're writing about in your article!
-No, haven't seen her.

I heard you met her
-That was a lie. A joke.

Are you sure about that?

Very sure.

I see

If you do find her, let me know

Apparently they found another dead soul
just outside the city

And that after I've been constantly warning you

The virus kills everyone
that goes outside of the city.

Outside is hell,
the ground floor is hell.

But upstairs is paradise, people!

The lucky ones live upstairs

It makes me sick
-I know what you mean, tough luck.

We were born down here, so
we also have to live down here. Son of a bitch.

Today you can expect rain.
Just like always

Did you hear? Even the government
doesn't dare to come here.

That's just an urban legend
-No, it's really true

I heard that a while ago already

Are you serious?
-Three days of rain.

Damn, three days.

Thanks.
-Goodbye.

That's not enough Hayami, wait!
-He'll pay the rest sometime.

He didn't even finish eating
-So what?

Damnit.

Mister Uraki, Kurose has been arrested.

Get over here as soon as possible

Let him go.
-No, stay here.

Daddy, daddy
-Kotomi, go home and wait for me

Daddy is alright, go home
-Let go of him. Daddy.

Please, everything will be alright.

Kotomi.
-Daddy.

The Sodoms arrested a rebel.

k*ll him.

Stop it. No. Kotomi.
Is everything alright? How is it going?

Come on, get up.
-No, I want to stay with you.

Please go home sweety.
-Daddy!

Daddy! Stay here! Daddy!

Kurose. Get away from here.

Go that way.

Come on, hurry up.
Get a hold of yourself.

Hayami.
-Yes.

Come on..
-That can't be possible...

It seems like a malfunction.
-It seems?

I can't do anything with speculations.
What about the Sodom-cameras?

There are some interventions.
Possibly intentional.

Activate mediabullets.

Intervention cleared. It is an android
with unknown parts.

What the hell is this?

Why that? No, don't do it.
Wait a minute. Just a moment. No.

Wait.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks.

We were lucky.
-Yes

Hayami.

Kurose is alright, so is Kotomi.

Understood.

Changed?
-Yes, changed.

From a Sodom into a woman.
-Are you on pills?

No, I'm serious, that's how it went.

Where are they?
-ln Complex B.

Hello? Mister Uraki? Mister Uraki.

Outside of the buildings: Keep masks on

Mister Uraki.
-ls that her?

The woman you've been looking for all this time?
-l'm sure of it

I finally found her.
-So that's her

Come on, follow me



The mediabullets are offline
-And the Sodoms?

Active. They're searching the entire vicinity.

But they haven't found anything.

Why are you following me?
-We're not, we're not. We just...

We aren't your enemy.
We just want to talk.

That man you helped,
his name is Kurose and he's our friend.

Why did you save him??

Stay away from me.

Damn it
-Don't worry about it

You just have to follow her
and then you'll know who she is.

I get it.

Welcome back. Oh, you're totally soaked.
-I'm home.

Hitomi, welcome back.
-You know how bad the rain is for your body.

You have to take care of yourself
-I feel fine

That's no good

You'll always be your mother's little girl.
-Hurry and come inside

Is dinner ready honey?
-Yes, yes, everything is on the table

There is no time.

We have to lock up the vicinity and att*ck

As you say, Lady Jiru.

Give it to me.
-Let go

I brought something special
for the ground floor.

A brand new oxygenmask!
You have to try this one.

Do you want this one?

Come on Hitomi, let's eat.

I'm coming.
-Sit down. Thanks for the meal.

Thanks for the meal.
-Fill your bowl

You don't have to tell me

Oh my, you've surpassed yourself again.

You always tell her that
-Yes

It's true.
-How is it?

It's delicious.
-And that's what you always tell her

Well she asked, didn't she?
-Yes, and you answered.

It's beyond dispute...

that you have to be grateful nowadays
for all this food

Do you like it darling?
-Of course

The prices went up again.
-Well it did rain a lot.

Why are you following me?
-Well.. Wait, wait.

Answer me!

Is this a friend of yours, Hitomi?

Honey.

Hitomi finally made a friend.
-What really!?

See.
-Oh, and it's a cool guy too.

Come on in.
-Yes, come.

I would love to, right Hitomi?
-Unfortunately he's very busy.

She would like to talk to him in private.
-No, that's not it

You should go inside before you get sick.
Go inside

Let's talk over there.

Wait for me

You don't have to be so nervous,
Look, I'm a journalist.

My name is Seiji Hayami.

Hayami? I've read your articles

Why me?
-I've been born on the ground floor.

I want to give hope to the people.
-That's pointless.

That's not true, the people of the
ground floor have to cherish hope

They are oppressed
and have to endure poisonous rain.

They have nowhere to go.

These things are worthless

Whatever you're planning,
I don't want to be involved.

And stay away from me

Sorry, but that's impossible

I assume you don't remember me.

I found you when you fell down from above.

I thought you were an angel

Your face and those symbols on your skin
haven't changed in those 20 years.

When those men wanted to overpower me
you saved me

Like a real hero.

Ever since that day I've been looking for you.

Is that why you became a journalist?
To find me?

Yes, but that's not the only reason.

I can access the upper floors' data
without arousing suspicious

Very handy
-Handy? What are you planning?

Our city is driven by artificial intelligence

I want to destroy that.

It also controls the
waste and ventilation system

The residents upstairs aren't aware
of the increased air pollution

The toxic clouds down here are the result
of their exobirtant lifestyle

The residents of the ground floor
get sick from the rain of those clouds

I want to dissolve those clouds.

Sothat's why you want to destroy the
artificial intelligence.

Do you want to help with that?
-I can't

Wait. Aren't we on the same side?
Yesterday...

I'm sorry but I'm not who you think I am.

Stay away from me.

Wait a minute.

Always wear an oxygenmask when outside.

Do you know Jiru? You're just like her, right?
-Like what?

Not human, I mean
-A machine.

Yes, something like that. Is Jiru
controlling the artificial intelligence?

Did she create you?
-Leave me alone.

Please listen.
We have to do something Hitomi-chan.

Don't call me that.
-Just wait please.

A camera spotted the target
The Sodoms are advancing.

Let's get away.
-Please help my foster parents

What?
-Or else they'll be arrested.

Hurry up!
-Okay, I got it.

Hello?

No matter where you hide,
I will find you

There you are again
-Hurry up!

Wait!
-Hurry!

Where to? Wait!
-Let's go!

Hurry up!
-Wait!

Come this way!
-Hurry!

I can't walk that fast, please wait!

This way, quick!

Hide behind that.
-Okay

Hey! What's going on!?
-ls Hitomi... is she alright?

Hitomi is alright.
-Thank God.

There.
-Sodoms. They're already here.

Don't make a sound.

What the hell is this?

What are we going to do?

I'll distract them
Try to run away through that exit

Understood, will you be fine honey?

Well, well. And where does she belong to?
-Just leave her be.

You're cute, is this your first time here? Join us.
-Keep playing.

Is there a back exit?
If so, gey away from here.

Get away! Hurry! Or else...

Wat the hell? Son of a bitch.

Get up.
-Oh honey.

Just a moment.
-Get down!

Get away.. right now!

Come on, let's go. Hurry

This way!
-I'll k*ll you.

Everyone get away

Get away before they reactivate.
And don't touch those weapons

Understood.

Come on, let's go

You.. everything is alright now

Daddy.

Hitomi.

Hitomi. Hitomi.

Stay strong, Hitomi.

Hitomi.

I've given you two important things.
First...

Where is that inferior creature?

Run, Hitomi. This way

Yeah, so that's how it is.
This is an aggregate of nano-microns

It has a highly developed memory.

If the clothes are skin get destroyed
it automatically regenerates

And with every regeneration it gets upgraded.

Excuse me? Can I touch to feel the material..

So in short, it's quite lugubrious.

Take care of the right uniform for the
intermediate floor

So you finally woke up

Where is Hayami?

Thanks to you he's not doing so good.
What about the Kuroses?

We recovered their bodies from their shelter.

Are you okay?

It's worse than it looks, what about you?

Just as I expected

Typical.. you and your excited smile.

Yukiko is right. She suffered worse
than any of us.

Hey

Where are my fosterparents?

I'm sorry

Oh no..

People always die unlike androids...
Damn it

It hurts!

It seems they have accomplices

I told you to not let her get away, right?

Lady Jiru!

Time is running out.

Safety before anything

Thanks

So about your fosterparents?
-My aunt and uncle

They knew I was an android, yes.

But they always treated me like
their real daughter.

If I didn't know what to do,
they were always there for me.

Sorry.

It's my own fault.

I should've distances myself from them.

Did you tell her yet?
-Not yet

The day after tomorrow there will be a big
event on the upper floors.

According to our intel this will
create more harmful substances than ever.

Pollution level: Danger

If we don't stop the AI...

a lot of residents of the ground floor
won't make it out alive.

We don't have much time left.
Do you know how we can stop the AI?

So in the end you're just a machine.

We could've saved ourselves the trouble.

Wait a minute!

My father, professor Kisaragi,
did research...

on how the artificial intelligence
controls the city.

That's the reason he created me.

What?
-What do you mean?

He placed a condenser for atmospheric
elements inside of me...

which semipermanently generates energy.

Thanks to that ingenious invention
I'm able to convert matter.

What are you doing on the ground floor
if you're so important?

Back when Jiru seized power...

the professor gave me freedom.

What did he want to achieve with that?
-Just wait a minute

So what exactly is Jiru?

A new type of android

Because of my emotions I'm not suited
to watch over humanity

So Jiru was created to operate
without emotions

She is completely rational. Jiru considers
humans simply as building blocks.

So where is the professor?

This is insane.
We have to destroy the AI somehow.

Yes, why don't you help us?

Forget it.
Your plan is simply wishful thinking.

I'll just do it my way.
-Wait, Uraki

Your plan is just like an act of terror!

You're forgetting that peace
can't be created without victims!

You're talking just like the people from above

We've been planning for two years

A lot of people have already been arrested,
k*lled or succumbed to illness.

We can't keep watching!

There is another way

She's not interested so she's not helping.

Just a moment..

So what is he planning to do?

He wants to blow up the building
that contains the AI

If he does that, there will be
a lot of innocent victims

I don't want to be a part of that.
And I won't allow it

With your help, we can solve the problem
in another way

Pollution level: Danger!!

I finally found you

Now it won't be much longer.

An att*ck on the server,
you're being hacked

Koshiro Kisaragi
searching..

No results.

You should stay away from me

If I wasn't there,
my fosterparents would still be alive

It's all my fault

Everyone I know just suddenly dies

It has always been like that.

Well, that's not entirely true

I mean we know eachother and I'm
very much alive.

You seem to be an exception

What's the point of being
constantly on the run?

That's what the professor wanted.

Really?

So where do you have to go when all
residents of the ground floor are dead?

Hitomi-chan?
-Stop it

Don't call me that!

I'm pretty sure the professor would tell you now:

You should help those people, Hitomi.
-What do you even know!?

Professor Kisaragi was my father.
I knew him better than anyone

Yes, I knew him best!

I'm not so sure about that..
-What do you mean?

You have emotions just like the rest of us.

You don't have to pretend like you're a machine

You don't have to follow orders
Your emotions..

Why should I listen to someone
who is always slyly smiling?

I see.
What I say probably sounds unfair

Why are you always smiling?

When you're sad you should smile
That's how I've been raised.

Not only that, everyone looks so unhappy.
I don't want to look like that

That sounded cool, huh?

You really are weird
-I saw a smile there!

No, you didn't!
-I saw it with my own eyes

No, you really didn't
-Yes, I did

You're pretty cute when you're smiling
-Leave me alone!

Sorry.
-Look

He's still alive, professor Kisaragi
I looked it up, he's not dead.

What?

I hacked into the civil registry

He lives on the topfloor of the tower,
he has to be there

We have the same goal,
Let's go together

Was it really necessary to
dress up like this?

Of course

If only you had bigger assets to show off.
-Excuse me?

No, nevermind.
-Everyone is staring at me

Good, that means it's working
Stick to the plan

Here we go

Uraki? Can you hear me?

Yes. We're disabling the power
and then we'll head for the basement

Good, give me a heads up before you go

Hayami, the toxic substances will be
released at 3 o'clock

If you haven't disabled the AI by then...

I'll blow up the tower, understood?
-Yes, I get it

I don't think you'll have to blow it up, Uraki.
-I doubt that

Infect the server with a virus?
-Yes, to prevent the release of the toxins.

While I was searching for the professor...

I also found the blueprints
of the tower

The server is at the top of the building,
behind the vent

The power for the security system
comes from the intermediate floor

Uraki's team is waiting there

As soon as I pass the vent the team
will disable the power

And I have to occupy Jiru until then?
-Exactly

That seems rather farfetched.
If it doesn't succeed...

We'll succeed for sure, don't worry.

What are you doing man? Wake up man

Oh no, that's really unbelievable

I'm going in
-Hey there, cutie. Hold up

You want to be in the show?

Yeah

Access granted

It's showtime.

Let's show those guys downstairs how to party

Well, what do you say? Yeah!

Showtime. Let's do this!

Hey, come on!

Access Denied

Hisashi Yamazaki, journalist

Sorry about that

Where is he then?
-Come with us

Just a moment
-It won't take long.

Let go of me, it hurts
-What were you doing upstairs?

Upstairs? I've been here the whole time!

Uraki

Yeah, hey, hey, hey, come on!

How long still?

I'm almost there, just wait a bit

Ouch

What are you doing?
-You'll know soon enough, Kimura.

Now all Sodoms have been alerted

What are you doing?
What is the meaning of this?

Let's go
-Excuse me? Well, whatever.

Just a second

Are you guys ready?
-Yes

Then we can start

It's my turn now

Go for it
Show us what you can do

Give it up for our lovely ladies
Here we go!

Rei. There she is. Yes, there she is

That's right, that's my girl. Oh yeah

Mysterious Honey

There she is

Give it up! That's right, there she is!

Come on, let me hear you

The target has been found inside the party hall

Yes, that's her

Send the Sodoms to the party.
-Understood, Lady Jiru.

Are you going there too?
-No, not yet

Oh my God!

Hayami
-Yes, what's up?

The Sodoms have found us.
I have to blow up the tower now

What? You can't.
I haven't reached the server yet

And more importantly:
Hitomi is still at the party

I can't wait any longer
This takes precedence

Just wait, our plan...

Ready?

I'm sorry, Hayami.

Awesome, awesome, Fantas...

An expl*si*n at the powerplant

Understood. Raise the alarmphase

This is bad, really bad

Did you make it?

Give me a break please, Uraki

I would if I could.
How is it looking? Did you reach the server?

I'm almost there

The walls are blocking all outside
signals.

But I will stop those damn clouds
-Don't forget, you have until 3 o'clock.

Please stay calm, people.
It's okay, it's okay

Damn it

Please stay calm, it's okay. Stay calm!

There's no need to panic

How is everything on your side?
Hello?

Hayami? Can you hear me?

What's the matter?

What's going on?

Hayami.

What's going on? Answer me

Hayami.

Everything's okay, nothing happened.

Jeez.
You scared me

I'm sorry

You should hurry

No, I'm a good guy

Ouch

The communicationcable in the vent
has been cut

In the vent?

The target is now walking towards...
-As expected

sh*t!

Synchronizing - Connect

k*lling..

You have to be more careful

Hitomi! You made it
-Calm down

Thanks.
-There's no more time, right?

I'll try to prevent it from here

You'll have to take care of Jiru
-Understood

Be careful

You too, Hitomi

Time's up

Oh no
Uraki, there are kids down there

How is that possible?
-Didn't they lock down the area?

Don't blow it up yet
I'll take care of it for sure, trust me.

sh*t..

Uraki!

We have to get away
-What happened?

-Let's go.

We're counting on you

Are you alright?

alarm

What is that?

alarm

Damn it.

This can't be happening
What's going on?



Oh no, the gas
-Come on, upstairs!

Go up, go!
-Yes

Where is the professor?
-Does it matter?

You can't do anything anyway

He's here

Everyone you've ever known
I'll get rid of. Without exception.

I'll take them out like trash

What a pretty face

I'll take your elementcondenser and destroy it

This way
-Yes

This can't be happening

This thing of yours can be used for
a lot more than you can think of

Aren't I right, professor Kisaragi?

I assume you'll want to speak to him
one last time before you die

This is the only thing that's left of him
-Father..

As you can see, his genius brain
is still watching over the city

Why!?
-It's because you ran away!

I could prevent his death and prolong his life
this way

Unfortunately this has a timelimit
He is dying

And that's why I have to reboot him
using that device of yours

You'll become one
Doesn't that make you happy?

It makes you happy, right!?

Oh sweety, it's time to say goodbye,
Cutie Honey.

There they are!

Amazing..

Hitomi-chan!

Are you alright?

The clouds

I couldn't connect down there.
It should be fine here

Damn it, it just won't work

The exhaust isn't closing
-You said it was a piece of cake!

The controlpanel refuses to work

I can't do it

This is the last one

They're getting closer!

That's weird. A cloud of that size would
destroy the entire city

How interesting

This thing and you are fused together
-Hitomi!

You're in the way

Hayami!

Well?

It's a dead end.
Sit down

Damn it.

Hayami!

Wait

Just go
-What are you thinking, don't try to be a hero

Just go! For the top floors you have to
go that way

There's another way...

It's already too late for that!

We'll just keep going

You idiots..

A fusion of nanomachines..

So you are the device that I need so badly

Get off of him
-Very impressive, professor Kisaragi.

Get off of him!

But you won't survive
-Jiru.

You can't defeat me, because you're incomplete.

You're weong

Because I'm incomplete,
I can regenerate

Because I'm incomplete,
I never give up

Because I have defects, I resist

Because I have defects, I will b*at you

They're broken
-They're falling down

There's one coming now

Did she do it? It's working

You did in fact b*at me,
but the world will not change

It never has
-That will change now

You have no idea how strong humanity is

Hayami

Hayami?

Hayami!

That hurts, Hitomi-chan.
-Sorry

That's alright

Father!

It's good to see you again, Hitomi.

Hitomi-chan.

Please father, you have to stop those clouds
or else a lot of people will die

That's something I can't do

Stop the poisonous clouds by destroying the AI?

That's a figment of imagination

A trick of Jiru to bait you here

That can't be..

Papa.
-Yes?

What is that?
-What are you talking about?

Kotomi!

The city is being threatened by
non biodegradable chemicals

Look over there! Let's run, run!
That way, hurry. It's dangerous

And it will be, forever

That is the result of Jiru's madness

Bullshit, you created the city professor

There must be something we can do!
-There is just one way. And I know how

Right?

All these years that I've protected you

Father

But I've never really been a good father

Even so, you'll always be my daughter
You've grown up, Hitomi.

Do what you think is best

Hitomi-chan. What do we do now?
You said you know another way?

You're not thinking...

Hitomi-chan.

Damn it.

Careful, are you alright?

Come on, keep walking

Oh no, here too?

Let's go that way
-Alright

What is the meaning of this?

alarm

Hurry, this way

Come on

Put on your mask and run, quick!

Stop it!

Hitomi-chan..

Uraki, we have to keep walking!

Can it be...?

Yes, that's her

Come back! Or else you'll also..

Please, don't continue. Listen!

Don't make that face

Just smile, like you always do

Please...

Thank you

Hitomi!!

Ever since that day, I've been looking for you

You have to run

You saved me, like a real superhero

Hitomi finally made a friend
-Really!?

Thank you

The world won't change
-You have emotions

I gave you two important things

Just like every other human

Isn't it beautiful, daddy?

The sun is shining again

Thank you..
