[ORDINARY CELL] Something's gotta be wrong...
Ever since he had that talk with NK,
things have been so tense...
[1146 coughs] Not looking good.
Place has gone to shit.
[RED BLOOD CELL coughs] Wh-What is this...?
It's because there's so much Harmful Bacteria here.
Toxic gas.
[BOTH] Toxic gas?
[ORDINARY CELL] Hey, so his friends should be here, right?
[1146] Yeah.
They do say that there are as many as
a hundred trillion bacteria in the intestines, after all.
[ORDINARY CELL] Then we're sure to find them, don't cha think?
[1146] Yeah.
That'll be a relief.
Doesn't sound like it'll be a relief!
[NK CELL] Look, you two can do whatever you want,
as long as you stay quiet.
I really don't want him to figure out
that we're on his trail.
[MEMORY T-CELL] Now I've taken him on once before...
I'm gonna use that experience. I'm gonna fight!
Not as a Killer T, but a Memory T-Cell--
to finish him off for good!
Uh, hey...
Can I ask a dumb question here?
You keep mentioning some guy, but, uh...
...who is he?
[BOTH] It's a cancer cell.
You... You can't be serious?
[RED BLOOD CELL screams] Are you OK, Platelet?
[LEADER] Yes! I think so!
Stay close, everyone!
I can't see what's in front of us!
Looks like this time, he's meeting us face-to-face.
[NK CELL] Gotta find his main body!
[CANCER CELL chuckles]
Did you really come back to life just
to throw a little tantrum, you stupid cancer cell?!
Die!
--Is he--? --[CANCER CELL laughs]
You really fell for it!
He was nothing but a puppet!
So much effort just to break a doll.
You immune cells have no idea
what you've gotten yourselves into.
[CANCER CELL laughs] I'm thrilled!
My old friends have come to visit.
[1146] Cancer...
[CANCER CELL] It really has been a while.
This just might be what they call fate?
To think that you three, of all cells, would find me.
Now, then...
Let's see if it's your side or mine which fate favors.
Time to settle this.
Look out!
[NK CELL] You're dead!
NK!
[CANCER CELL laughs]
[ALL] Wow Wow Wow Wow
[LACTOBACILLUS] Nyu Nyu Nyu Nyu
[ALL] Wow Wow Wow Wow Ah- Ah- Ah-
Wooo!
[RED] Every day of every week, when the day begins
I am always primed and ready
even if the load is heavy, ya know
[WHITE] When disaster strikes I'm there, it's a flawless win
Though my breath is kind of hurried
and my clothes are torn and dirty, it's teatime
[RED, WHITE] But when my tasks are through,
I think back to you
Wishing fate could make our worlds collide
--[MACRO] Collide --[KILLER] Collide
[ORDINARY] Collide
[RED, WHITE] "I'll show you how much stronger I am..."
Like always, whatever comes our way
[MACRO, KILLER] Whatever comes our way
[RED, WHITE] We're gonna work today
[MACRO, KILLER] We're gonna work today
[RED, WHITE] All together, now! Giving it our all!
For the sake of peace, we'll see it all through!
This is the path we choose
[MACRO, KILLER] This is the path we choose
[RED, WHITE] We will never lose
[MACRO, KILLER] We will never lose
[RED, WHITE] Always on your side! We won't let you die!
Miracle brigade, we're Cells at work
[MACRO, KILLER, ORDINARY] We each play our role
[RED, WHITE] Our job is one in the same
[MACRO, KILLER, ORDINARY] Together we're whole
[RED, WHITE] To keep you healthy's our aim
It's our festival Working for you, let's go!
[ALL] Wow Wow Wow Wow
[RED, WHITE] Here we go!
[LACTOBACILLUS] Nyu Nyu Nyu Nyu
[RED, WHITE] Here we go!
Huh?
[NK CELL] Attack-wise, you really are a one-trick pony.
Great work, NK You saved us!
Hey! Before you start celebrating,
hurry up and cut us free of this stupid stuff!
[NK CELL] Now, then... Boy...
Could you tell me one thing?
Why did you bother coming back to life
when you knew you were gonna get killed?
You didn't honestly think you could win this time, did you?
I've taken you down once already!
You're tryin'a take me on with tactics I figured out
the first time we squared off.
Bad move.
Oh, I'm certainly not trying to "square off" with you.
Rather, I've discovered what it is I'm meant to do.
And I simply wanted the three of you
to be here to bear witness to my victory.
Surprised?
Every one of these is an exact match
for that puppet you just fought.
An army of me's, made of fragments of my own tissue.
Slash at them all you like; they won't die.
They'll just keep moving.
Nothing you can do will stop me from overtaking this body.
Now be good and resign yourselves to captivity.
NK, look out!
They're behind you!
Neutrophil!
Evasive action!
Who d'you think I am?
You're dealin' with a Memory T-Cell,
and I've seen every last one of your attacks!
A Memory T-Cell...
So that's it.
You're not quite the same cell you were before, huh?
[MEMORY T-CELL] No escape!
I've got you now!
I can foresee your every last move!
Say goodnight!
[REGULATORY T-CELL] Kindly cease your attacks.
Those are not the appropriate responses.
He is not an enemy from the outside world.
He was born of this body.
He is a cell, just like us.
I won't permit attacks on the body
or its natural inhabitants.
But... But, Regulatory T-Cell...
[NARRATOR] Regulatory T-Cells.
They prevent Killer T-Cells from getting out of control,
and suppress excessive immune responses.
Wh-Why would you... protect him...?
[1146] Watch out! Memory T!
Behind you!
[NK CELL] Neutrophil!
Memory T, NK, you've got to keep fighting
[4989] 1146, where are you? Respond!
1146! State your location!
[CANCER CELL chuckles] So predictable.
[4989] 1146! Come i--
I knew you would protect him.
It's in your nature.
Let's have a nice, long, chat, huh?
Take a break from killing each other.
Deal?
[BLACK LAB] Ny-Nyuuu...
Those bacteria, are they still chasing after us?!
[GOBLET CELL] Heck if I know!
[INTESTINAL EPITHELIAL CELL] Just keep running!
[ALL 3 scream]
[LEADER] We've gotta keep our handkerchiefs
pressed to our mouths
and stay low to the ground while we run!
[PLATELETS] 'Kay!
It looks like the intestine's
in even worse shape than before...
[LEADER] Big Sister Red Blood Cell?
What is it?
[LEADER] I have bad news...
I don't think we can take this path.
Take a look.
[INTESTINAL EPITHELIAL CELL B] You can't come this way!
The bacteria's invaded the area up ahead!
What?
[INTESTINAL EPITHELIAL CELL B] Find another route;
run as fast as you can!
Uh, right!
[BACKWARDS CAP] I'm so scared...
Are we gonna be okay...?
We're gonna be fine.
I'm sure of it.
The platelets seem really anxious.
I'll make sure we can get through this!
Right now, we need to run as fast as we can!
[PLATELETS] 'Kay...
Careful! Stay on your guard!
You little bastard...!
Get off of him!
Let me out of here, Cancer Cell!
I'm the one you wanna kill here, isn't that right?!
If you wanna settle the score,
just let me out and I'll take you on!
That won't do, Mr. White Blood Cell.
You can't throw such a fit when you're so injured.
Why that's practically throwing your own life away.
However, if you were to agree to the terms
I'm about to offer you,
I would let you out of there right away.
I'm sure it's just tearing you apart
to watch your friends suffer
while you're locked up and helpless!
[1146] Regulatory T-Cell, you gotta let me out of here!
Let me out!
I'll kill this cancer cell myself!
Come on!
Kill him?
I won't let you out if you're going do that.
Because this cell is by no means an external enemy.
[NARRATOR] Regulatory T-Cell's role.
Regulatory T-Cells are responsible
for reining in the activity of immune cells,
preventing them from attacking the body's own tissues,
or cells that are beneficial to the body.
In this case, as the cancer cell originated from this body,
instead of recognizing him as a foreign substance,
she is trying to suppress the immune cells' attacks on him.
It's not as though she's betraying you or anything.
The lady's just trynna do her job, as far as I'm able to tell.
Damn you, Cancer Cell... I'm gonna ki--
You mustn't.
Don't ever attack other cells.
[CANCER CELL] Isn't this neat?
I swear, you regular cells...
You're always so exhaustingly by the book.
Well, with one interesting little exception, of course.
You, White Blood Cell...
You rescued that Cell Kid,
and his Lactic Acid Bacteria, didn't you?
So what!
The only reason I didn't kill them was...
because those bacteria weren't toxic to this body, that's all!
Yeah, of course.
That much, I understand...
But that little stunt of yours has changed my mind somewhat.
It got me thinking...
Lives that are necessary, and lives that are not.
Why does such a distinction have to made at all?
When it's so tragic for us to take a life,
or to have ours taken from us...
Why do we have to keep repeating
that cycle over and over again?
Why?
What do you think?
Have you ever put much thought into what you do?
We do it for this body!
We kill and we die as necessary
so that this body might live on!
[CANCER CELL chuckles] That's what I thought you'd say.
Okay, then let's take it a bit further.
Which is more important?
The lives of trillions of cells, or this body's one life?
Well?
We cells are pitted against each other,
loathe each other, and are ultimately sacrificed,
all so that this body can go on living.
We, the killed, and you, who do the killing,
we've all suffered so much.
So how about a world
where we cells don't have to kill or be killed at all?
Even if it's a world gone mad, tottering on the verge of death.
If that world could become our reality,
even for a fleeting moment...
...wouldn't our happiness justify the sacrifice
of this solitary body?
Never!
There's no way I'd ever let you do that!
Let me out of here right now!
I'll kill you!
That's the only way to set your terrible wrong right again!
You know that if this body dies,
every last one of us cells
inside will die along with it, dammit!
Sure, we will.
But we'll die after we've been liberated.
And granting us that liberation is my job.
Nothing wrong with doing my job, right?
[1146] There's no way...
you could ever do tha--
--There is. --[gasps]
Regulatory T-Cell has already chosen to join my side.
Not to mention... this very place.
Th-Those fumes look like...
The toxins from... harmful bacteria!
[CANCER CELL] When my new world is completed,
I'd like us... to be the best of friends.
You kindhearted assassin of a white blood cell.
Stop this!
You can't do this, Cancer Cell...!
[1146] NK! Memory T! Regulatory T-Cell!
Are you all right?
Ugh!
[groans]
[CANCER CELL] So you're more worried
about your friends than yourself?
You know, that's what I like about you.
Well, along with all the contradictions that you bear.
Well you seem to live to help everyone around you,
you were born a cell that exists solely
to kill everything that stands in its path.
Looking at you right now,
I feel such pity, and such impatience.
Fascinating.
I don't want your pity.
I'm sick of all your yammering!
You annoying little punk-ass!
Cancer Cell, I'm gonna kill--
You mustn't.
Don't' ever attack other cells.
How many damn times are you gonna play out
this stupid conversation.
Are you ever gonna learn?!
[MEMORY T-CELL] Shut the hell up!
As if! I had time! To workshop!
Different lines!
Come on!
That goes for me too.
[NK CELL] First of all, do you have any moves other than
just trying to pound his head-off?!
New strategies rattling around in your empty head?!
Think, dumbass!
Shut up!
This is how it's always been, you moron!
[REGULATORY T-CELL] That's right,
this is how you've always been.
Tactics were never your strong suit.
Easily swayed by your emotions,
unable to thrive on victory,
and unable to learn from defeat.
You will never be able to defeat me as you are.
It's futile to even struggle.
Just let it go, and cease your attacks.
[BLACK LAB] Nyuuu!
[HARMFUL BACTERIA A] Hmm?
[gasps]
W-We're surrounded.
What do we do?!
[BLACK LAB] Nyuuu...
[NARRATOR] Lactic Acid Bacteria.
Good bacteria that work to support the health of the body.
They have a variety of attributes.
It's okay, Lactic Acid Bacterium.
Don't worry, I-- I'll keep you safe!
[HARMFUL BACTERIA A] This cell just said
he'd keep that little bacterium safe!
What a droll encounter this is!
[NARRATOR] Harmful bacteria.
Pathogenic E. coli, staphylococci,
clostridium and alike...
...cause proteins to degrade and produce toxic byproducts.
[HARMFUL BACTERIA A] Then why don't we put those words
to the test?!
Can you withstand this, I wonder?
The Harmful Bacteria Toxic Attack!
[screams]
[NARRATOR] The toxicity of harmful bacteria.
Toxic effects of harmful bacteria
include intestinal putrefaction,
and the production of toxins and carcinogens.
A host of deleterious effects
to the human body can ensue,
such as a weakened immune system,
foul-smelling stools and gas, diarrhea or constipation,
and various other forms of intestinal distress.
Argh, my legs!
[BLACK LAB] Nyuu! Nyuu!
[HARMFUL BACTERIA A laughs] Show us a good time, kid
We finally made it to this side of the intestinal wall,
but it's so much more boring than we thought!
Talk about a real punch to the gut!
[HARMFUL BACTERIA B laughs]
We're going to torment you every which way,
so try to give us some juicy reactions!
Nyu... Nyuu!
Nyu... Nyuuuu!
[HARMFUL BACTERIA A] Huh?
Nyu... Nynyuuuu!
[HARMFUL BACTERIA A] What kind of a lame attack is this?
[BLACK LAB] Nyuuu!
[gasps]
Lactic Acid!
Nyu. Nyu. Nyunyuuu!
[HARMFUL BACTERIA A] You miserable good bacteria runt!
You're a germ!
Don't suck up to a cell!
Show some pride!
If you come at us again, I'll obliterate you.
Nyuu! Nyuuuu!
Stay back!
Bacterium, you need to run as far as you can!
[BLACK LAB] Nyuu?
Forget about me!
Just run and save yourself!
Get moving!
Nyu, nyu, nyuuuu!
Nyuuu!
Just go, dummy!]
[HARMFUL BACTERIA A] Ugh, you little brat!
Get out of here now!
I said go!
Nyuuu...
Get lost, dammit!
[BLACK LAB] Nyuuuu!
[HARMFUL BACTERIA A] Bah!
Is your pathetic little farce over yet?
I'm sorry...
You were the only bacterium who got such a sad goodbye.
But I guess that's all right.
As long you're still alive and got away safe, that's enough.
Just grow up, to be a strong bacterium.
[HARMFUL BACTERIA A] Now then!
Are you ready?
Time for us to have some fun!
Nyuuu!
[RED BLOOD CELL] Seems like you've really
got your hands full, Mr. White Blood Cell!
[1146] And our battle's hardly even gotten started!
[CANCER CELL] Next time on Cells at Work!!...
..."Cancer Cell II (Part II)"!
[RED BLOOD CELL] Who was that just now?!
[1146] Target sighted!
