[00:01] Bandit
    Hey, brat...
[00:02] Bandit
    Put that down.
[00:04] Ishi
    No way!
[00:05] Ishi
    After four whole days, I finally got this food.
[00:08] Ishi
    You should all work for what you need.
[00:10] Ishi
    Don't latch on to a kid!
[00:12] Ishi
    You're all grown-ups!
[00:14] Ishi
    Man, talk about pathetic...
[00:16] Ishi
    Ow!
[00:17] Bandit
    Says a burglar.
[00:19] Bandit
    Want me to make it so you never
    become a pathetic grown-up?
[00:22] Bandit
    Right here, right now, squirt.
[00:25] Ishi
    You giant freak!
[00:26] Ishi
    You look like your brain
    stunted at three years old.
[00:29] Ishi
    I'm not gonna say that out loud, though.
[00:31] Bandit
    You just did, idiot.
[00:32] Ishi
    Don't get so hung up over the details.
[00:34] Ishi
    Here.
[00:35] Ishi
    I don't want to die before
    I've had a girl, anyway.
[00:38] Bandit
    Nice.
[00:39] Bandit
    There's even ale.
[00:42] Bandit
    The villagers here must've run off in a hurry!
[00:45] Bandit
    I bet there are valuables, too.
[00:47] Bandit
    Many thanks to the Kushans!
[00:49] Ishi
    Is it good?
[00:50] Bandit
    Yeah, but there's not enough for you.
[00:53] Ishi
    Oh, yeah?
[00:55] Ishi
    I scrounged all that food together.
[00:57] Ishi
    I hope you take the time to enjoy it.
[01:00] Bandit
    Yeah, yeah. Just go already—
[01:02] Bandit
    Hey, what's wrong?
[01:05] Bandit
    Brat, what did you do?!
[01:07] Ishi
    Oh, this sure is potent.
[01:08] Ishi
    It was pretty expensive, after all...
[01:10] Ishi
    My share's over here.
[01:12] Ishi
    I'm not a fan of being underestimated.
[01:14] Bandit
    Squirt...
[01:15] Bandit
    I'm gonna crack your head right open—
[01:19] Ishi
    Don't call me "squirt."
[01:21] Ishi
    I have a name, Isidoro.
[01:24] Ishi
    Don't worry, it's just bee venom.
[01:26] Ishi
    It won't kill you.
[01:28] Ishi
    Have a change of heart and live honestly.
[01:30] Ishi
    You know, it's sad when a kid's lecturing you!
[01:33] Ishi
    Later.
[01:34] Bandits
    Hey, what's wrong?
[01:35] Bandits
    Everyone's passed out.
[01:36] Ishi
    Shit!
[01:37] Ishi
    I didn't know there were more.
[01:39] Ishi
    Calm down... Stay calm...
[01:40] Ishi
    Think... Think!
[01:42] Bandits
    What happened?!
[01:43] Bandits
    Who's this brat?
[01:47] Ishi
    I was so scared!
[01:49] Ishi
    It was the Kushans!
[01:51] Bandit
    What?
[01:52] Ishi
    The army came and...
[01:53] Bandit
    N-No, he—
[01:57] Bandit
    What now?
[01:58] Bandit
    We have to get out of here.
[01:59] Bandit
    We don't have time to lose!
[02:01] Ishi
    Fools...
[02:04] Bandits
    Hang on, brat.
[02:06] Bandits
    It doesn't make sense.
[02:07] Bandits
    I didn't hear any hooves or anything.
[02:10] Bandits
    And look... None of them have
    injuries caused by swords.
[02:14] Bandits
    Now that you mention it...
[02:16] Bandits
    What's with you, brat?
[02:17] Bandits
    Why are you unharmed,
    if Kushans were here?
[02:20] Ishi
    Huh? Because I'm just a kid...
[02:22] Bandit
    The Kushans have no mercy, even for kids.
[02:24] Bandit
    Where'd they go?
[02:25] Ishi
    Um...
[02:26] Ishi
    Shit! Shit!
[02:27] Ishi
    Th-That way!
[02:28] Bandits
    Hmm?
SIGN    Tower of Conviction
[04:10] Bandits
    It's the Kushans!
[04:11] Bandits
    They're Kushan scouts!
[04:12] Bandits
    We're surrounded!
[04:13] Bandits
    Shit, we have to fight!
[04:26] Ishi
    No way...
[04:29] Ishi
    They all died in a flash!
[04:47] Ishi
    That's...
[05:08] G
    What was that for?
[05:12] G
    What an unexpected test of my new blade.
[05:16] Ishi
    He cut up those Kushan monsters
    with one strike!
[05:22] G
    Hey, clear the way. I'm in a hurry.
[05:23] G
    What's with you guys?
[05:27] G
    No talking my way out of this?
[05:28] P
    Hey, squirt...
[05:30] P
    Hey, stay still, with your head down.
[05:32] Ishi
    You're...
[05:33] P
    Hey, been a while!
[06:00] G
    Nice work, as usual, Godo.
[06:04] P
    Hey, you have food, huh?
[06:06] P
    And ale, too.
[06:07] P
    I can smell them, even though they're hidden.
[06:09] P
    They'll do as a sign of thanks.
[06:11] P
    No need to hold back.
[06:12] ---
    A-Amazing!
[06:15] G
    Hey, let's go, Puck.
[06:16] P
    Okay.
[06:17] ---
    Whoa!
[06:18] P
    W-Wait...
[06:20] Ishi
    He's no ordinary guy!
[06:29] Tapasa
    You are certain we can let that
    man go, Young Master?
[06:32] Silat
    It's of no consequence.
[06:33] Silat
    The Bakiraka Clan's duty is to scout ahead.
[06:36] Silat
    There is no need to take further casualties.
[06:38] Tapasa
    But if we, the Tapasa, combine our strength—
[06:41] Silat
    Do not underestimate him.
[06:42] Silat
    We may be able to subdue him, yes.
[06:44] Silat
    But we will not do so unscathed.
[06:47] Tapasa
    You know of this man, Young Master?
[06:53] Silat
    It was in the past...
[06:56] Silat
    A very long time ago.
[07:00] G
    Quickly.
[07:01] G
    Hurry.
[07:10] Refugees
    Not another monk...
[07:12] Refugees
    It was heretics.
[07:15] Refugees
    There will be even more inquisitions now...
[07:32] Kid
    Hey, stop!
[07:38] Kid
    Alms...
[07:39] Kid
    Alms, I beg of you.
[07:41] Guard
    Fools!
[07:42] Guard
    These are tributes to the monastery.
[07:44] Guard
    You have already received your daily rations.
[07:47] Refugees
    That soup of vegetable scraps isn't enough!
[07:49] Refugees
    You guys eat your fill every day, right?
[07:52] Refugees
    Please have mercy...
[07:53] Guard
    Hey, what do you think you're doing?
[07:56] Refugees
    Ah, food!
[07:57] Refugees
    Alms!
[07:58] Refugees
    Mercy!
[07:59] Guard
    S-Stop!
[08:02] F
    Catch them all!
[08:03] F
    Don't let a single one escape!
[08:04] Refugees
    Crap...
[08:05] Refugees
    It's the Holy Iron Chain Knights!
[08:08] Refugees
    P-Please help—
[08:10] Refugees
    Have mercy!
[08:11] F
    What is the meaning of this?
[08:13] F
    Is this what the faithful would do?
[08:15] Refugees
    Some of us are sick...
[08:17] Refugees
    We've been living on watery soup for days.
[08:20] Refugees
    We have no firewood for winter!
[08:22] F
    We have already requested food, medicine,
    and other supplies from the Holy See.
[08:27] F
    You are not the only ones who suffer!
[08:29] Refugees
    Please...
[08:30] Refugees
    My child no longer even
    has the strength to nurse.
[08:33] Refugees
    He's about to die.
[08:35] Refugees
    He needs God's protection right away!
[08:38] F
    What?
[08:40] Moz
    Very well.
[08:42] Moz
    Because of your bravery, God will
    show you His mercy.
[08:47] F
    But, Father Mozgus, that will disrupt order!
[08:50] Moz
    Of course I have considered that.
[08:53] Moz
    But I believe the fact that I am here
[08:55] Moz
    and that she has sinned
    and has been brought before me
[08:59] Moz
    are all part of God's design.
[09:01] Moz
    It is said that love knows no fear.
[09:04] Moz
    We should respond to her act of
    pure love, committed without
[09:07] ---
    regard for her own well-being.
[09:09] Refugees
    Thank you! Thank you!
[09:13] Moz
    For now, let us take these
    people to the monastery.
[09:29] Moz
    These men should go there.
[09:33] Moz
    Do not worry.
[09:34] Moz
    You will see them again later.
[09:36] Moz
    Now, you will go this way.
[09:39] Doc
    Now, drink...
[09:41] Doc
    Good.
[09:42] Doc
    The child seems to be stable now.
[09:44] Doc
    If he stays nourished and gets some rest,
[09:47] Doc
    he'll recover soon.
[09:49] Refugee
    I'm so glad!
[09:50] Moz
    I have sent a message to the Holy
    See with a request for aid.
[09:55] Moz
    I shall also see if we can distribute
    a portion of the food
[09:59] ---
    from the earlier tributes among the refugees.
[10:03] Refugee
    Oh, I don't know what to say...
[10:05] Refugee
    Thank you!
[10:07] Moz
    I have merely executed God's will.
[10:13] Moz
    Now, come this way, please.
[10:16] Moz
    As one of the faithful, you have
    a duty to perform.
[10:26] Moz
    Lady Farnese, I believe this is the first
    time you've set foot in this room.
[10:33] Moz
    You must not look away!
[10:35] Moz
    This hellish scene is part of
    the Holy See you serve.
[10:40] Moz
    It is not only benevolence that God
    bestows upon this world.
[10:45] Moz
    He is also a stern judge.
[10:49] Moz
    You must not flee!
[10:51] Moz
    To save your child, you have sinned.
[10:53] Moz
    Your love and bravery should be praised.
[10:57] Moz
    However, sin is sin!
[10:58] Moz
    Because you are so brave,
[11:02] Moz
    I beg you to overcome this
    ordeal from God Himself!
[11:08] Moz
    Surrender yourself to God's grace.
[11:10] Refugee
    N-No!
[11:23] Men
    Let me go...
[11:24] Men
    I didn't kill any monk!
[11:26] Men
    I'm not a heretic!
[11:28] F
    We have a witness to the crime!
[11:31] Men
    What the hell? Shit!
[11:33] Men
    Who was it?
[11:34] Men
    Who framed me?
[11:35] Men
    I'll kill you!
[11:37] Men
    I'll kill you when I come back!
[11:41] F
    Take him.
[11:43] Luca
    Ah...
[11:45] Luca
    He's the thug who's been intimidating
    everyone around here.
[11:48] Luca
    No one liked him...
[11:50] Luca
    I guess someone decided to get rid of him,
[11:52] Luca
    but I feel like spitting on both their faces.
[11:55] Jerome
    Can you try to get more into this?
[11:57] Luca
    Oh, oops, sorry!
[11:59] Luca
    But are you sure about this?
[12:01] Luca
    Every day, you're here before
    the sun's even set.
[12:04] Jerome
    You don't want me here?
[12:06] Luca
    No, you're special...
[12:08] Luca
    Business aside, I'm glad to have you here.
[12:11] Luca
    But I'm worried that you'll get reprimanded
[12:15] Luca
    by that scary commander lady.
[12:19] Jerome
    No need to worry about her.
[12:21] Jerome
    All she talks about is duty and faith.
[12:24] Jerome
    She works her men hard,
[12:26] Jerome
    but she isn't skilled in fighting or leadership.
[12:28] Jerome
    For the Holy Iron Chain Knights, having a
    female commander is tradition.
[12:32] Jerome
    She's only a figurehead.
[12:34] Luca
    It must be tough, I'm sure...
[12:37] Luca
    To be the only woman among men.
[12:40] Jerome
    I don't even want to know what it takes to
    work so hard on a shitty mission like that.
[12:45] Luca
    You hedonist...
[12:51] Luca
    Oh.
[12:52] Luca
    Bad Elaine!
[12:54] Luca
    I've told you that you can't come
    in here. This is my job!
[12:58] Jerome
    I've gone all soft...
[12:59] Luca
    Sorry, she's my little sister.
[13:03] Jerome
    What's with all the bandages?
[13:05] Luca
    Disease that comes with our profession.
[13:08] Luca
    She was unlucky.
[13:11] Luca
    She's almost all gone upstairs.
[13:13] Jerome
    That's too bad.
[13:15] Jerome
    Well, for now, I'll go home.
[13:17] Luca
    I'll give you extra next time.
[13:19] Jerome
    Here, the usual fee.
[13:21] Jerome
    And here.
[13:23] Luca
    Wow, that's pretty...
[13:24] Jerome
    It wasn't cheap.
[13:27] Jerome
    It'd be out of reach for common folk.
[13:29] Luca
    I'm happy you got it for me, but I'm not
    sure I deserve something like this.
[13:34] Luca
    Cast not pearls before... You know.
[13:35] Jerome
    I think I'm getting too old for this.
[13:38] Jerome
    Once this job's done,
[13:40] Jerome
    I'll take you back home.
[13:43] Jerome
    As the family heir, I can't marry you,
[13:46] Jerome
    but all the nobles have mistresses, anyway.
[13:50] Jerome
    I'll pamper you.
[13:53] Jerome
    We'll bring your little sister, too.
[13:55] Jerome
    I'll find her a good doctor.
[13:56] Luca
    Thanks, Jerome...
[13:58] Luca
    I'll wait, but I won't expect anything.
[14:04] Luca
    Jeez, I couldn't be a whore if I took
    all the pillow talk seriously...
[14:09] Ladies
    Hey, hey!
[14:10] Ladies
    I heard that, Luca.
[14:11] Luca
    Girls...
[14:13] Ladies
    Lucky Luca...
[14:15] Ladies
    I wish someone would talk like that to me!
[14:17] Luca
    Oh, stop it.
[14:19] Luca
    It's only because it's good to know influential
    people for when you need help.
[14:22] Ladies
    Aw...
[14:23] Ladies
    Come on!
[14:24] Ladies
    Yeah.
[14:24] Ladies
    So, by the way, Luca...
[14:28] Luca
    Don't eat it all at once.
[14:30] Ladies
    We know!
[14:31] Ladies
    Thanks, as always.
[14:33] Luca
    Oh, and this...
[14:34] Ladies
    Wow!
[14:36] Ladies
    You shouldn't have!
[14:37] Luca
    Listen, everyone gets an equal number of pearls.
[14:40] Ladies
    But this was for you.
[14:41] Luca
    I'll keep some, too, of course.
[14:44] Luca
    We all agreed to this, remember?
[14:45] Luca
    No matter who earns how much,
    we split our earnings.
[14:48] Ladies
    Yeah, but...
[14:49] Ladies
    This looks so expensive.
[14:51] Luca
    Hey, Pepe, Fouquet, Lucie.
[14:54] Luca
    Listen well.
[14:56] Luca
    We're working in the middle of
    a witch hunt for heretics.
[15:00] Luca
    You get that, right?
[15:01] Luca
    Even though it's to survive, it's so dangerous.
[15:05] Luca
    Humans are wretched creatures...
[15:07] Luca
    They envy those who have more,
[15:09] Luca
    and they sneer at those who have less.
[15:13] Luca
    Even the smallest differences
    can cause fear and hatred.
[15:15] Luca
    I'm sad to say it,
[15:16] Luca
    but that's especially true of us, who have little.
[15:20] Ladies
    That's not true. We're...
[15:23] Luca
    That's why we'll prove that we're different.
[15:27] Luca
    When actions don't follow
    words, there's no trust.
[15:31] Luca
    All right, then!
[15:33] Luca
    Just like usual, share half our earnings
    among our neighbors.
[15:36] Ladies
    Not again!
[15:37] Ladies
    That's such a waste...
[15:38] Luca
    I told you.
[15:39] Luca
    It's so that we don't earn any grudges.
[15:42] Luca
    Just go and charm them!
[15:44] Ladies
    Okay.
[15:45] Ladies
    Huh? One's missing.
[15:51] Luca
    Oh, that's no good.
[15:53] Luca
    I'll have to tie it more tightly...
[15:56] Luca
    Bear with me, even if it's a bit tight.
[15:59] Luca
    If a looker like you went wandering
    defenselessly around here,
[16:03] Luca
    you wouldn't stay safe for a single day.
[16:05] Luca
    You'd be the perfect victim
    for all the desperate men.
[16:08] Luca
    Normally, I'd ask you to earn your own keep,
[16:12] Luca
    but since you aren't even capable
    of making your own decisions...
[16:19] Luca
    And that brand on her chest...
[16:22] Luca
    There must be a story behind it.
[16:25] Customer
    Luca!
[16:26] Luca
    Oh, hello!
[16:27] Luca
    Please wait, good sir.
[16:29] Luca
    Nina, I'm going to work another job.
[16:31] Luca
    Please make sure everyone gets
    food, and take care of Elaine.
[16:34] Nina
    Okay.
[16:35] Luca
    Also...
[16:37] ---
    Here.
[16:38] Luca
    I talked to a customer, a doctor, about you.
[16:40] Luca
    And he gave me this.
[16:41] Luca
    He said to take two swallows
    each morning and night.
[16:44] Nina
    Thanks, Luca...
[16:47] Nina
    I'll go get some water.
[16:57] Refugee
    Heretics!
[17:02] Mom
    Throw!
[17:03] Mom
    Just throw now!
[17:37] Nina
    The bleeding just won't stop.
[17:38] Nina
    There's some pus in there, too.
[17:40] Nina
    My mouth's getting swollen.
[17:43] Nina
    This might be it for me...
[17:47] Nina
    The doctor said that
[17:49] Nina
    if the bad blood reaches
    my brain, I'll go insane.
[17:54] Nina
    Will I become like you?
[17:59] Nina
    Do you have anything you're afraid of, Elaine?
[18:06] Nina
    That place is supposed to
    be where God is present.
[18:10] Nina
    Why does it look so stark and terrifying?
[18:18] Nina
    Scared... I'm so scared.
[18:20] Nina
    I can't stand it, Luca...
[18:23] Nina
    I'm scared of dying and living,
[18:26] Nina
    of this world and of God.
[18:29] Nina
    I'm... I'm scared of everything!
[18:49] Ishi
    Found you...
[18:53] Ishi
    He ran a whole day and a half,
    from yesterday afternoon?
[18:58] Ishi
    If I hadn't hitched a ride on a refugee's
    carriage, I would've lost him!
[19:09] Ishi
    That sharp edge... So giant.
[19:11] Ishi
    It must be a famous sword!
[19:19] Ishi
    It won't budge!
[19:21] Ishi
    But he was wielding it like a feather...
[19:25] P
    You aren't putting your back into it.
[19:27] P
    Put your back into it.
[19:29] P
    Here, like this! See?
[19:32] P
    I'm Puck.
[19:33] P
    When you ask people for their names,
[19:35] P
    you should always introduce yourself first.
[19:37] Ishi
    I-Isidoro...
[19:38] Ishi
    Though I didn't ask...
[19:40] Puck
    Well, then, Isidoro or whatever,
[19:41] Puck
    put your mind to it and give it a go.
[19:43] Ishi
    You're not trying to stop me?
[19:45] Puck
    Heave-ho!
[19:51] Puck
    Hey, Guts...
[19:52] Puck
    I caught a thief.
[20:05] G
    It isn't a toy for kids.
[20:09] G
    It seems you've been following
    me since yesterday.
[20:13] G
    What do you want?
[20:17] P
    You want to become his apprentice?
[20:19] P
    Then, you'll have to go through
    me, his manager, first—
[20:22] Ishi
    That's not it!
[20:23] Ishi
    I don't wanna serve anyone.
[20:27] P
    O-Oh!
[20:28] P
    You must've come to take back
    the food you gave me!
[20:32] P
    What a disgrace!
[20:33] P
    Too bad.
[20:34] P
    We already ate everything!
[20:35] Ishi
    That's fine...
[20:37] G
    You have a sword.
[20:40] G
    You want to become a swordsman?
[20:42] G
    Have you ever drawn blood with a sword?
[20:46] Ishi
    D-Don't underestimate me.
[20:48] Ishi
    I've killed one or two...
[20:51] G
    Well, whatever...
[20:53] G
    You should stay away from me.
[20:56] Ishi
    What I choose to do is my own business!
[20:58] Ishi
    You have no right to tell me anything!
[21:00] G
    Well, you're right.
[21:03] P
    Hey, thief...
[21:04] P
    You should run.
[21:06] Ishi
    My name is Isidoro!
[21:07] G
    Here they come.
[21:10] Ishi
    What the hell?
[21:11] P
    Guts!
[21:19] G
    Well, this is different.
[21:23] Corpse
    Shit!
[21:26] Corpse
    Shit!
[21:28] Corpse
    Damn you!
[21:32] Ishi
    Is this real?!
[21:33] Corpse
    Damn you...
[21:34] Corpse
    I'll rip you to pieces.
[21:36] Ishi
    I don't recall anything that'd
    make a wheel curse me!
[21:57] Corpse
    Shit!
[21:58] Corpse
    Go to hell!
[21:59] Corpse
    Damn you all!
[22:01] G
    Full of hatred, eh?
[22:04] G
    On any other day, I'd feel
    the same. But right now...
[22:08] G
    I don't have the time to deal with you.
[22:11] G
    I'm in a hurry.
[22:13] G
    I feel like I'm burning up inside...
[22:18] G
    Out of the way!
