[00:15] ---
    Bruce...
[00:17] ---
    It is not your daughter, but I,
    who shall receive your inheritance.
[00:22] ---
    Well? How does that make you feel?
[00:30] ---
    It's your fault for dying!
[00:40] ---
    Millennium Doug MK II...
[00:44] ---
    An interstellar transport shuttle
    manufactured by the Millennium Corporation.
[00:47] ---
    Let's see, the model year was...
[00:50] ---
    What?! G.C. 1992?!
[00:55] ---
    This ship was built the same
    year my grandfather was born.
[01:00] ---
    Will it even move the way it is now?
[01:02] ---
    This says it's still
    in service, performing admirably.
[01:04] ---
    They might as well have
    foisted a scrap yard ship on us.
[01:07] ---
    Exchange it for a recent model.
[01:09] ---
    No way! That'd be a waste.
[01:11] ---
    A waste?
[01:12] ---
    This whole vintage feel is the coolest.
[01:16] ---
    Whoa, awesome!
[01:17] ---
    It says you adjust
    the descent speed manually!
[01:20] ---
    Wow, check it out! I wonder
    what this switch does?
[01:22] ---
    You're the one who's not working properly.
[01:25] ---
    Chelsea? Chelsea!
[01:27] ---
    Come here a minute.
[01:29] ---
    What is it, Angelica?
[01:31] ---
    Would you mind helping
    me get these onto the shuttle?
[01:36] ---
    Is this all food?!
[01:38] ---
    Yep.
[01:49] ---
    Franca sure made a fuss, didn't she?
[01:52] ---
    She didn't have to worry
    about us on top of everything else.
[01:56] ---
    You think maybe since she's
    lived her whole life around grown-ups
[01:59] ---
    she's learned to be uptight all the time?
[02:02] ---
    That's exactly why...
[02:04] ---
    once we finish this job I'm
    gonna let Franca go back to being a kid.
[02:20] ---
    "Time left until the photonic
    bomb is dropped on Graceland..."
[02:24] ---
    "72 hours"
[02:42] ---
    I etch out today with my finger
[02:46] ---
    On the dusty hood of a car
[02:49] ---
    As the rain shower passed over
[02:53] ---
    It vanished just like love
[02:56] ---
    There's something in
    your heart you can't get rid of

[03:03] ---
    So beat your invisible wings
[03:09] ---
    *We'll fight back against the wind
    *t hat gusts at us so relentlessly
[03:17] ---
    We'll stand firm against it
[03:20] ---
    With steadfast emotion! Go!
[03:23] ---
    We continue running on our way
[03:30] ---
    To a place promised,
    where sandstorms whirl

[03:36] ---
    Tonight is the night
[03:40] ---
    We're gonna make it through
[03:43] ---
    On to our destination
[03:59] ---
    "Episode 8 The Road to Gigabanks"
[03:59] ---
    Main engine optimal.
[04:02] ---
    Setting of descent
    point coordinate axes complete.
[04:04] ---
    All sections green.
[04:09] ---
    All systems operating
    within normal parameters.
[04:11] ---
    Commence descent to Graceland.
[04:23] ---
    Messenger craft docking
    at Gate 7. Cleared for approach.
[04:28] ---
    I have brought written orders for
    Commander-in-Chief Malcolm from Admiral Mill.
[04:34] ---
    Well done.
[04:35] ---
    By carrier pigeon?
[04:37] ---
    Yes, sir.
[04:38] ---
    The development of
    communications and jamming signals
[04:41] ---
    has led to them delivering these
    by hand the old-fashioned way, huh?
[04:44] ---
    It has been done in
    accordance with the Federation manual,
[04:46] ---
    regarding retention of classified
    information and information leakage.
[04:48] ---
    It demonstrates just
    how vital this mission is, sir.
[04:52] ---
    Yes, I guess you're right.
[04:54] ---
    Commander-in-Chief
    Malcolm, I have good news.
[04:57] ---
    General Boniek of the
    Graceland Liberation Forces
[05:00] ---
    has agreed to peace
    negotiations now, at the very last moment.
[05:03] ---
    Preparations for the negotiations
    are underway in the utmost secrecy.
[05:06] ---
    Good, it looks like we'll get
    by without dropping the bomb.
[05:10] ---
    Yeah...
[05:12] ---
    However, I want you all to
    continue on course towards Graceland.
[05:15] ---
    If the Liberation Forces find out that
    peace talks are going on behind the scenes,
[05:19] ---
    it's possible that some will not
    be willing to look at the big picture.
[05:23] ---
    I suppose this means every organization has
[05:25] ---
    certain reactive members prone to backlash.
[05:27] ---
    Also, the plan is for the peace
    talks with Boniek and the leaders
[05:29] ---
    of the Liberation Forces to
    be carried out aboard your ship.
[05:32] ---
    The Secretary of
    Foreign Affairs, Senator Hewlett,
[05:34] ---
    who will serve as full ambassador in
    the peace talks, is already on his way there.
[05:38] ---
    What is it?
[05:39] ---
    We have just received word
    from the fleet surrounding Graceland
[05:43] ---
    that a single Guild
    battleship is descending to Graceland.
[05:47] ---
    A Guild battleship?
[05:48] ---
    All right.
[05:50] ---
    How shall we proceed?
[05:51] ---
    Why now?
[05:54] ---
    To hawk weapons?
[05:56] ---
    It's also possible the
    Liberation Forces have called them in.
[05:59] ---
    Then could agreeing to peace
    talks also be a ruse to buy time?
[06:04] ---
    In either event, until they have come to
    the negotiating table,
[06:06] ---
    we cannot afford to aggravate
    matters in any way.
[06:08] ---
    Tell the blockade to let them go untouched.
[06:10] ---
    Yes, sir.
[06:13] ---
    So you are going to Graceland
    after all, are you?
[06:16] ---
    Yes.
[06:17] ---
    Thank you very much for
    the shuttle. It's totally cool!
[06:21] ---
    I'm at a loss for words.
[06:23] ---
    Actually, I thought this might
    be enough to make you give up.
[06:27] ---
    We appreciate it.
[06:31] ---
    A short while ago, a Guild
    battleship descended to Graceland.
[06:35] ---
    Did it come into conflict
    with the Federation's forces?
[06:37] ---
    No, the Federation has
    not made any move against it.
[06:40] ---
    You could say it's more like
    they let it slip by without a word.
[06:43] ---
    Which means...
[06:44] ---
    The dropping of the photonic
    bomb will be carried out as planned.
[06:49] ---
    Whatever the Guild might do
    will not affect the state of the war.
[06:52] ---
    I think that's a reasonable conclusion.
[06:54] ---
    Even so, do you still intend to go?
[06:56] ---
    Yes, it is my job after all.
[07:01] ---
    Descent speed optimal.
[07:03] ---
    Sixty seconds to
    arrival at destination point.
[07:05] ---
    Visibility normal.
[07:06] ---
    Touchdown point clear.
[07:08] ---
    Firing reverse thrusters.
[07:11] ---
    Touchdown at destination point.
[07:13] ---
    All personnel prepare to disembark.
[07:15] ---
    All right, then...
[07:17] ---
    We will begin our treasure hunt.
[07:21] ---
    Ah, man...
[07:23] ---
    Marciano and her gang have
    probably started their treasure hunting.
[07:27] ---
    Hey, you're not supposed to mention them.
[07:29] ---
    It makes me feel like
    there's no point flying this thing.
[07:32] ---
    Damn it! This is so damn frustrating!
[07:35] ---
    They'll never be able
    to find Bruce's inheritance!
[07:39] ---
    Aren't you forgetting something, Pops?
[07:41] ---
    Those guys have Bruce's eye!
[07:44] ---
    So what if they do?
[07:47] ---
    They're not gonna find it.
[07:49] ---
    Well, how about that! You're just
    bubbling over with confidence, aren't you?
[07:53] ---
    You said it yourself back when
    you watched the video in Bruce's eye,
[07:57] ---
    that you couldn't believe
    it was the same planet at all.
[08:00] ---
    Is it really that different now?
[08:02] ---
    It's not that it's simply "different."
[08:04] ---
    Compared to what's in
    those videos, Graceland is now...
[08:09] ---
    It's a whole other planet.
[08:12] ---
    We couldn't possibly determine
    where the cave with Gigabanks is now.
[08:22] ---
    I'm amazed you can eat
    with the ship shaking like this!
[08:26] ---
    Don't you feel sick or anything?
[08:29] ---
    Nah, I'm used to eating inside ships.
[08:32] ---
    If you've got that much
    composure, then I guess you'll be all right,
[08:37] ---
    no matter what happens.
[08:40] ---
    Well, you see...
[08:41] ---
    We've gone a little off
    course from our touchdown point.
[08:44] ---
    Off course?! How far?
[08:46] ---
    Well, actually, I don't really know myself.
[08:51] ---
    Hang on!
[08:53] ---
    You don't know?
    What are you talking about?!
[08:56] ---
    Well, this is the first time
    I've ever tried landing manually.
[09:12] ---
    June's squad is
    commencing search of sector B-6.
[09:15] ---
    January's squad is moving to sector D-4.
[09:19] ---
    April's squad has
    completed search of sector A-2.
[09:22] ---
    No sign of Gigabanks.
[09:24] ---
    August's squad has
    completed search of sector E-1.
[09:28] ---
    No sign of Gigabanks.
[09:29] ---
    March's squad has
    completed search of sector C-4.
[09:33] ---
    No sign of Gigabanks.
[09:35] ---
    Next...
[09:38] ---
    Guys, listen to me a minute.
[09:41] ---
    To buy ourselves time
    to search for the treasure,
[09:43] ---
    we'll have to do something
    about the photonic bomb on our own.
[09:47] ---
    We know that, Mister.
[09:49] ---
    You want to split us into a Jupiter
    group and a Gigabanks group, right?
[09:54] ---
    That's right.
[09:56] ---
    We could also head to Graceland
    after we stop the photonic bomb,
[09:59] ---
    but if Marciano beats us
    to the treasure, it's all over.
[10:02] ---
    I'm telling you I know that.
[10:04] ---
    We can't expose Franca to the
    dangers involved in getting rid of the bomb.
[10:08] ---
    We need Katana to pilot the Coyote.
[10:10] ---
    And the old guy here
    knows all about Gigabanks.
[10:13] ---
    And that leaves me.
[10:15] ---
    It'll be all right. Just leave it to me.
[10:18] ---
    I just need to stop
    that photonic bomb, right?
[10:21] ---
    Well, I would like to
    have you go to Jupiter too.
[10:27] ---
    Too?
[10:28] ---
    I also want Swamp to go with you.
[10:32] ---
    Wait a minute, Mister!
[10:34] ---
    I don't need the old guy.
[10:36] ---
    He'll only slow me down.
[10:37] ---
    My sentiments exactly.
[10:41] ---
    I'll be just fine
    on my own. Leave this to me.
[10:43] ---
    That's probably what he's worried about.
[10:45] ---
    Enough of your heckling from
    the sidelines, you shrub-headed freak!
[10:48] ---
    Don't you think this is a
    bad combination after all?
[10:48] ---
    You ever consider trying out a new hairdo?
[10:51] ---
    You think?
[10:54] ---
    Looks to me like they're enjoying this.
[11:00] ---
    Ah, I can't stand it! Everything
    you say pisses me off!
[11:03] ---
    I feel exactly the same way about you.
[11:06] ---
    I'm gonna get me some scissors
    and trim that damn bush on your head.
[11:07] ---
    "Time left until the photonic
    bomb is dropped on Graceland..."
[11:08] ---
    And I'm gonna button up that damn
    shirt for you nice and tight!
[11:10] ---
    "59 hours"
[11:24] ---
    I figured out where we are, Angelica!
[11:27] ---
    Well?
[11:28] ---
    45 degrees North latitude,
    160 degrees East longitude...
[11:33] ---
    I guess we're at this
    point here, on the Paralla Ocean.
[11:35] ---
    Which means...
[11:37] ---
    We've ended up pretty far
    from where Marciano's gang landed.
[11:42] ---
    Sorry about that...
[11:43] ---
    It's all right.
[11:45] ---
    It's fine as long as we make
    it there before Mister arrives.
[11:48] ---
    Will Mister really come?
[11:51] ---
    Oh, he'll come.
[11:52] ---
    In that case, this Mister
    must be quite the optimist.
[11:58] ---
    That's right.
[12:00] ---
    As long as the odds are
    greater than zero, he won't give up.
[12:03] ---
    He wouldn't do us the favor.
[12:04] ---
    He'll tenaciously cling to his own ideas.
[12:07] ---
    That's what Coyotes are all about.
[12:09] ---
    Now you've got it.
[12:12] ---
    I can't tell if that's
    a compliment or an insult...
[12:15] ---
    Well, shall we get going?
[12:16] ---
    Sure!
[12:18] ---
    Um, Angelica? Are those...
[12:21] ---
    The evacuations have
    begun for real, haven't they?
[12:24] ---
    Yeah...
[12:25] ---
    Everyone is going to abandon this planet.
[12:43] ---
    Well? Do you think you'll be
    able to lock on Jupiter's coordinates?
[12:46] ---
    Do you have any idea who
    you're speaking to, young lady?
[12:48] ---
    That's right!
[12:50] ---
    It's no use, no matter what
    kind of jamming signals they send out.
[12:52] ---
    They're no match for us!
[12:58] ---
    March's squad has arrived in sector C-2.
[13:02] ---
    June's squad has
    completed search of sector B-3.
[13:05] ---
    No sign of Gigabanks.
[13:07] ---
    January's squad has
    completed search of sector D-5.
[13:10] ---
    No sign of Gigabanks.
[13:13] ---
    April's squad has
    completed search of sector A-4.
[13:16] ---
    No sign of Gigabanks.
[13:18] ---
    In all seriousness, it seems as though
[13:21] ---
    we may have to cover
    every square inch of the planet.
[13:25] ---
    Didn't you have
    something you wanted to talk about?
[13:30] ---
    Well, not that it matters to me.
[13:32] ---
    I'll bet you actually
    enjoy getting on his case.
[13:36] ---
    I'm on to you.
[13:37] ---
    Are you talking about Bishop?
[13:39] ---
    It's probably amusing for
    you since he's such a dope!
[13:44] ---
    Hey, don't go getting a
    kick out of this all by yourself.
[13:46] ---
    Aren't you getting a kick out of it?
[13:48] ---
    I didn't come here for amusement.
[13:51] ---
    Well, I'm amused.
[13:54] ---
    This whole Gigabanks deal
    is a total blast, like I thought.
[13:59] ---
    I don't like how you just keep
    pressing on without any doubt
[14:04] ---
    that I'll do whatever you say.
[14:07] ---
    You are though.
[14:11] ---
    We're gonna stop this
    photonic bomb from dropping.
[14:14] ---
    It won't be easy.
[14:16] ---
    That's the impression I get.
[14:18] ---
    I can't let him go alone.
[14:20] ---
    I know.
[14:22] ---
    The thing we've got to consider
    is what we're going to Graceland for.
[14:27] ---
    I've come this far to see for myself
[14:31] ---
    whether or not you're
    worthy to inherit Bruce's legacy.
[14:34] ---
    That's the idea.
[14:37] ---
    Can I ask you something?
[14:39] ---
    Feel free.
[14:41] ---
    What did Bruce call to tell you
    before he pulled the heist on Gigabanks?
[14:47] ---
    Nothing at all.
[14:50] ---
    Can I ask you something?
[14:52] ---
    What?
[14:53] ---
    Did he... Did Bruce get a
    kick out of cracking Gigabanks?
[15:06] ---
    Shall I help you?
[15:07] ---
    No, it's all right.
[15:10] ---
    I'm pretty much done now.
[15:12] ---
    Ah, okay.
[15:16] ---
    Say, Franca.
[15:18] ---
    Hm?
[15:19] ---
    So do you want Bruce's legacy?
[15:24] ---
    I'm not sure.
[15:26] ---
    What would you do if you got
    hold of 10 billion space dollars?
[15:29] ---
    What do you mean what would I do?
[15:30] ---
    With that much money,
    you could buy anything you wanted.
[15:36] ---
    To be honest, I don't
    really care about money.
[15:41] ---
    Only...
[15:44] ---
    I would like to know more about Papa.
[15:47] ---
    Everyone calls him the Pirate King,
    and says that he was such an amazing person,
[15:52] ---
    but that's only stuff I've heard.
[15:54] ---
    We didn't have much time together.
[15:58] ---
    But I was thinking if I got the treasure,
[16:01] ---
    I might find out
    what kind of person he was.
[16:08] ---
    "Time left until the photonic
    bomb is dropped on Graceland..."
[16:11] ---
    "48 hours"
[16:19] ---
    That's another Guild helicopter.
[16:23] ---
    Seeing them flying around all
    over the place makes me think
[16:25] ---
    they haven't found the treasure yet.
[16:28] ---
    What could the treasure be anyway?
[16:31] ---
    Who knows...
[16:32] ---
    Aren't you interested
    in finding out what it is?
[16:35] ---
    Oh, I am.
[16:36] ---
    Why do you want
    to know everything?
[16:39] ---
    I don't get it.
[16:42] ---
    I can't imagine Mister would come
    here with money as his only motive.
[16:46] ---
    There must be something else.
[16:48] ---
    I want to know what that is.
[16:50] ---
    Are you really curious about
    it just because it's your job?
[16:54] ---
    I've been meaning to
    ask you this for a while...
[16:57] ---
    Is there something that happened
    that motivated you to pursue Mister?
[17:02] ---
    It was four years ago that you became
    an investigator focusing on Mister, right?
[17:22] ---
    How about that!
[17:23] ---
    The price on my head has gone up again!
[17:25] ---
    That's hardly anything
    to be so laid-back about.
[17:28] ---
    That's gonna have bounty
    hunters drooling all throughout space.
[17:33] ---
    Will this ship do?
[17:34] ---
    All right, I'll take it.
[17:37] ---
    I appreciate the business.
[17:40] ---
    This is too much!
[17:42] ---
    Not at all. I think it's a fair amount.
[17:45] ---
    Considering the
    information you give me, that is.
[17:50] ---
    Jeez...
[17:52] ---
    C'mon, this is nothing new.
[17:54] ---
    I don't know the reason why,
    but some Guild people are digging
[17:59] ---
    up the ground all over Graceland.
[18:01] ---
    Huh?
[18:03] ---
    One other thing, and this
    is a rumor, but supposedly...
[18:05] ---
    A group of Federation
    higher-ups are headed towards Graceland.
[18:10] ---
    Who's in charge?
[18:12] ---
    Senator Hewlett...
[18:18] ---
    What? I can take it, can't I?
[18:21] ---
    Yeah...
[18:22] ---
    For a little extra information.
[18:27] ---
    Well? Any results from the transmission?
[18:30] ---
    Nope, hang on another minute.
[18:32] ---
    Whatcha doing?
[18:34] ---
    We're sending out a signal in
    all directions which forces a reply,
[18:38] ---
    and then testing the
    response that we get back.
[18:41] ---
    It's like Mister said.
[18:43] ---
    There's a single direction we
    isolated that isn't returning a reply.
[18:46] ---
    You can bet there's strong
    jamming over that whole area.
[18:51] ---
    Another thing I heard,
    which is also a rumor,
[18:53] ---
    is that there are carrier
    pigeons flying all around there.
[18:57] ---
    Carrier pigeons?
[18:58] ---
    Regarding the most highly
[19:00] ---
    classified orders, the Federation
    manual dictates the use of
[19:04] ---
    jamming signals, which also
    shut out their own side's transmissions.
[19:08] ---
    All orders are delivered by hand.
[19:12] ---
    Then that story about the Federation
    higher-ups heading for Graceland...
[19:17] ---
    Is something we can actually believe.
[19:20] ---
    Guess so.
[19:21] ---
    So my thinking goes.
[19:23] ---
    So even if Katana and I try to break
    into the Federation's network
[19:27] ---
    and find their location,
[19:29] ---
    we won't get anywhere since
    no signals are being broadcast.
[19:32] ---
    Wow... You guys are
    surprisingly on the ball with this.
[19:36] ---
    Franca...
[19:40] ---
    Well, the time has finally
    come for us to really do this thing.
[19:45] ---
    Here.
[19:47] ---
    What's that for?
[19:49] ---
    I figured you wouldn't have one.
[19:52] ---
    It's the latest model though,
[19:53] ---
    so it might be a little
    tough for an old geezer to use.
[19:56] ---
    Well, I guess you are the kind of guy
[19:58] ---
    who compensates for his
    lack of skill with fancy equipment.
[20:06] ---
    Wow, you're good, Swamp!
[20:12] ---
    I'm going to do as you say this time.
[20:15] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[20:17] ---
    I'm sure I'll have to sit through
    one of your sermons when we get back.
[20:21] ---
    Naturally.
[20:23] ---
    If you guys screw this up,
    we're dead meat. We're counting on ya.
[20:27] ---
    We're counting on ya!
[20:28] ---
    You just leave it to us.
[20:30] ---
    Well, if we're all decided,
    then let's get ready to go!
[20:33] ---
    We don't have much time!
[20:59] ---
    You called, Mother?
[21:04] ---
    I have an errand for you.
[21:15] ---
    "RECEIPT I TOOK 20 GALLONS OF GAS."
[21:29] ---
    The Twelve Sisters' fighters?
[21:32] ---
    Where are these waterdrops
[21:37] ---
    That travel along
    my cheek coming from?

[21:47] ---
    Tell me...
[21:54] ---
    I grabbed the rule that says
    we can't turn back time

[22:05] ---
    By the collar
[22:09] ---
    Hey, Mister.
[22:11] ---
    Yeah? What's up?
[22:13] ---
    I think that dealing with the bomb
    on his own would definitely be a lot of
[22:16] ---
    trouble for Bishop, but will you really
    be all right at Gigabanks without Swamp?
[22:22] ---
    Swamp said so himself,
[22:24] ---
    that the Graceland in the video was a
    whole other planet from what it is now.
[22:31] ---
    We'll probably figure something out.
[22:34] ---
    Probably?
[22:56] ---
    Ready to go.
[22:58] ---
    No problems here either.
[23:00] ---
    So we're doing this together, huh?
[23:03] ---
    Want me to give you a sermon?
[23:07] ---
    Mister, this is from Swamp.
[23:12] ---
    It's a compass, right?
[23:13] ---
    Yeah...
[23:14] ---
    He could have just given it to
    you himself instead of asking me.
[23:19] ---
    What? A present from Swamp?
[23:22] ---
    Yeah!
[23:24] ---
    It's a map. To Gigabanks!
[23:28] ---
    They're off.
[23:34] ---
    Our lives are on the line here!
[23:36] ---
    We're counting on you, man!
[23:37] ---
    Come through for us!
[23:47] ---
    We interrupt your regularly scheduled
    broadcast for the following urgent report.
[23:51] ---
    Just moments ago, the Federation
    government announced that it will proceed
[23:54] ---
    with its initial plan to drop a photonic
    bomb on Graceland 24 hours from now.
[23:59] ---
    I repeat: Just moments ago, The
    Federation government announced
[24:04] ---
    that it will proceed with its initial
    plan to drop a photonic bomb
[24:05] ---
    "Time left until the photonic
    bomb is dropped on Graceland..."
[24:06] ---
    on Graceland 24 hours from now.
[24:08] ---
    "24 hours"
