Birdy the Mighty: Decode (2008) s01e02 Episode Script
Episode 2
1 What is that thing? Oh, it's something Mr.
Giga asked me to stick in the car.
Here.
Personal property, eh? Why would a station bigshot make production staff like us do this? How should I know? He said he'd have someone come pick it up at the set later.
Now step on it, or we'll have to pay cabs to take the actors home.
Yeah, yeah.
What about tomorrow, Miss? No, I'm okay, Mr.
Kimura.
The doctor said we can just see how things go for a while.
I'm glad to hear it.
Aw, look what's happened to our precious Ryunka.
That Geega is useless.
But that one might make a good host.
Maybe I'll try it out.

Tuto, what's Geega's current location? He's on Metropolitan Expressway Route 6 heading towards Mukojima.
Fast! Too fast! What the hell?! H-Hey! What's going on?! What's happening?! Be quiet a minute! I'll head there right away.
Hurry.
I can't get there fast enough.
Honestly, pipe down! I'm going to make you shut up for a while! We're falling! We're falling! We're falling! Where am I? Where? Why am I naked? What the? He's regained consciousness.
Who are you? Don't be afraid, Tsutomu Senkawa.
H-How do you know my name? And you, hurry up and wake up too.
Huh? Me? I am awake.
I was just thinking about how I should broach things.
Huh?! What was that? Tsutomu Senkawa, I've learned more or less who you are today, and Who are you?! Where are you?! Hey! What the heck is going on?! Right now, I'm inside you.
Well, it'd be more accurate to say that you're inside me.
What?! Calm down.
I'll explain it right now.
What is this?! Keep watching the glass.
Huh? Nice to meet you, Tsutomu.
I'm Birdy Cephon.
I'm an investigator with the Space Federation Police.
Shion Arita? Oh, that's um my "incognito persona," I guess? I'm conducting an undercover investigation here on Earth.
I'm on the trail of some serious criminals.
Huh? Okay.
I'll give it to you straight.
The truth is, yesterday, while I was pursuing a criminal I, uh What does that mean? Basically, Tsutomu, you um You died.
A b-b-bug! You are currently what we'd call dead.
Tsutomu Senkawa, I am Captain Megius of the Space Federation Police's Special Investigations Unit.
As Birdy's superior, I would like to offer you my apologies and condolences.
Hold on But please don't worry.
Your body will be sent to a medical lab at Econos-Quill, where they will attempt to reconstruct it.
Hold on! We'll be causing you some inconvenience until that's complete, but in the meantime Birdy will provide her body as a substitute.
In other words, you can carry on your life as Tsutomu Senkawa, as before.
Now you just hang on a second! You're not making any sense! "Dead"? "Condolences"? But I'm obviously still alive! You can't believe what I'm telling you? Forget what you're telling me; I can't even believe a bug is talking.
See, it's because you freak out like this that Geega got away from us.
I don't know anything about that! What are you talking about?! Like I said We're falling! We're falling! We're falling! I had the car brought around, Boss.
Ah, yes, my shiny new Beemer.
Where's my Beemer? Boss! Boss! Wait Don't tell me? My Beemer Tuto, where's Geega? Unfortunately, I've lost him.
Damn! Ugh! What's with that?! You're saying it's my fault?! Well, it is! You tossed me onto the highway with no warning! Like hell I could stay quiet! Please, chase her out of my head! I don't care if you're aliens or what, but there's no way I want to house some stranger inside me! Tsutomu, you're laboring under a misapprehension.
Your body is Hey what is this? If my body is this messed up, I'll die! Yes.
To put it in simple terms, we evacuated your consciousness into Birdy's body.
Birdy's body is maintaining your life.
Birdy is not inside of you.
You are inside of Birdy.
Until your body is restored, your life force and consciousness can only exist by temporarily residing within Birdy.
This is a nightmare I can imagine how you must feel.
I'm sure you're tired, body and soul.
I don't even have the energy to be shocked anymore.
In that case, may I introduce myself? My name is Tuto.
I am Birdy's partner.
I feel some responsibility for this incident as well.
If there's ever anything I can do, please use Birdy to summon me.
Good night.
It's a nightmare Don't be so depressed.
I do feel bad about this.
Hey.
Tsutomu? This morning is just like any other.
The beginning of an ordinary day.
The sights I'm so used to look too bright this morning and they make my heart ache.
After all I'm dead.
I've apologized to you over and over! The Earth phrase is "man up," right? Man up and let it go already.
You get off your high horse! More importantly, can't we talk inside our heads, like telepathically? If we do that, we might trigger mental fusion.
Practice whispering without moving your lips.
I'm not a ventriloquist! Hiya! What are you doing mumbling to yourself first thing in the morning? Hayamiya! You scared me! What's up? You're in a bad mood already.
Did something happen? Not really.
Did you have another weird dream or something? Yeah, I guess you could say I've become the ruined building now That cool-guy smirk doesn't suit you.
It's just creepy.
Hayamiya! Morning, Kitamura.
Something wrong? You didn't hear about Nakasugi? What, did something happen to her? She was in a car accident yesterday! Apparently she was on her way home from the hospital she always goes to.
I hope she isn't hurt too badly Just go visit her.
You guys are buds, right? Plenty of time to get all funeral-gloomy like this afterwards.
D-Don't say that, it's unlucky! It's a time to mourn for the dead.
Yeah, we cremate the remains.
Oh, "cremate" is like "incinerate.
" You know, burn to ashes U-Uh, I was just Senkawa! I can't believe you! No, see, there's a good reason why l I just can't believe you! N-Now, now Anyway, let's all go visit her after school.
Okay? Her consciousness still hasn't returned.
She's in critical condition.
We'll do everything we can, but you may need to prepare for the worst.
Are you sure? Absolutely.
I've got the best nose in the universe.
That was definitely the smell of an Altan.
Which means the Ryunka is Yeah, that Birdy bitch must have taken it.
Damn it! We went to the trouble of using people from this planet! How did she figure it out?! C'mon, cool down.
They know your face now, so you probably can't make a move.
I'll get it back for you.
They don't know what I look like yet, and I don't care if she is the Berserker Killer So as payment, can I eat her? I'm just so damn hungry! Yes, this is the Irma Agency.
We appreciate your business, as always.
Hmm? Shion Arita? Yes.
That's fine.
Yes, that time slot is open.
Yes.
A TV shoot? I'm afraid we can't She'll be in stage makeup? Oh, that should be all right, then.
5:00 pm at Yahata Studios, right.
Thank you in advance.
Thank you in advance.
Oh, hi Ryo! Yo.
You came.
She's a classmate.
Now, now, the more the merrier for Nakasugi, right? For that matter, isn't Senkawa late? Honestly! I told him over and over to be on time! "Yahata Studios" "Authorized Personnel Only" Sheesh, you're late! Completely late! Sorry, Sir.
Now, Shion, punctuality is the ironclad rule of this industry! Roger, yessiree.
Hey.
What is it, Sir? Cut the crap! What about the hospital visit? I'm going with my friends to see Nakasugi! What is it? Tsutomu's miffed about the sudden change in plans, yessiree.
Oh, that's show biz! That's what it is to be talent! It's hard to survive in this business! Come on, let's go.
Why do you guys even want to survive in it?! "Echigoya" What is it, young lady? I-It's my chronic condition "Oh no!" says the nice man, trying to help her.
Then the bad guys beat him up and kidnap the merchant's daughter.
This is your only scene, but Everyone's late, huh Sir? Yes, it's odd.
I thought the filming was supposed to start at 5:00 Tuto! Watch out, Birdy.
It's a blaster.
Oh, my, did I miss? Who are you? How about you give the Ryunka back? Or shall I gobble you up? It'll only hurt for a second! Bacillus! Don't call me by that name! What are you and Geega plotting, Bacillus? Did you alter your body so much you screwed up your memories, too? You're the one who'll hand over the Ryunka! I don't know what you're talking about.
Who is that guy?! He's Bacillus, a serious offender wanted by the Federation.
He lives parasitically on other organisms.
When he takes them over, he takes in their memories and knowledge, too.
Is he an alien too? Yes.
But that body is an Earthling's.
He must have taken it.
This is a pain Shall I eat you? That's right! If I do that, I'll know where the Ryunka is, too! Gross! What are you doing, Birdy? Hurry up and get away from him.
I'll eat you! He's coming! He's coming! Birdy.
Like hell you will! I'll eat you! Amazing Isn't that woman Shion Arita after all? Man, am I sick? Hey, are you okay?! Be quiet! That investigator is a hard pill to swallow! It's no good I gotta get out of here.
There you are! There's no mistake this time.
Oh, crap! Birdy! There's a man A man collapsed down there! I'll be back, in a new body.
- I won't let you escape! - Are you going to kill again?! You're going to let someone else die, like me? It's okay.
He's just passed out.
Hey, it's Mr.
Muroto.
Uh-oh! You know him? Keisuke Muroto.
He graduated from my school.
He calls himself a journalist.
He's fishy Birdy, someone's coming.
Let's withdraw.
Okay.
You moron! And you had the gall to come back here?! Sorry, Boss.
Dammit, I gotta do something fast.
If Shyamalan or Gomez finds out I don't have the Ryunka What? Boss This body's at its limit! I'm so hungry I'm so hungry! H-H-Hold on! Hey! Senkawa! Hayamiya I can't believe you didn't come yesterday! What were you thinking?! You wouldn't answer your phone, either! I didn't know you were so heartless! No, see, I had my reasons Oh, hey, what about Nakasugi? How was she? Well, she Nakasugi! Morning, Hayamiya.
Thanks for coming to visit me yesterday.
Are you really okay? Yup, I'm fine.
Seriously, you're really lucky! So, that's great, huh? Seems like it wasn't anything serious.
Don't you talk about it.
Don't be so mad.
We're going to be together for a while, anyway.
Like you Earthlings say, we're like, uh, two peanuts two chestnuts What is it, again? Like cats and dogs.
Yeah! Exactly! Let's get along, okay? Give me a break.
