[00:03] (Flashback) Xeno
    Hold your fire, Stan!
[00:07] (Flashback) Xeno
    Doctor Taiju was a body double.
[00:12] (Flashback) Xeno
    The true enemy leader...
[00:14] (Flashback) Xeno
    The OP scientist...
[00:19] (Flashback) Xeno
    is Senku.
[00:21] (Flashback) Xeno
    Ishigami Senku.
[00:25] (Flashback) Ryusui
    Sniper!
[00:26] (Flashback) Ryusui
    There's a sniper!
[00:30] Luna
    Did they catch me?!
[00:32] Stanley
    Idiot! Stop looking at me, Luna!
[00:35] Stanley
    They'll know where I am!
[00:38] Stanley
    No, that's not it.
[00:40] Stanley
    Look!
[00:43] Stanley
    The OP science leader...
[00:45] Stanley
    The smart one is one of those three.
[00:48] Stanley
    If the target is as clever as Xeno says,
[00:52] Stanley
    he'll no doubt notice where you're
    looking and turn to face me.
[00:58] Stanley
    He'll naturally smoke himself out.
[01:03] Stanley
    Heya, Ishigami Senku.
[01:08] (Flashback) Stanley
    Xeno, let me ask one more time, just in case.
[01:14] Stanley
    You're sure, right?
[01:16] Stanley
    I'm going to kill him.
[01:17] Stanley
    There's no taking it back.
[01:22] (Flashback) Xeno
    Yeah.
[01:23] (Flashback) Xeno
    Go ahead.
SIGN    Light of Science
[03:17] Yuzuriha
    Gunfire?!
[03:18] Ginro
    They're coming for us! The bullets are coming!
[03:20] Ryusui
    No! It landed before the sound came!
[03:25] Ryusui
    They're already done firing.
[03:33] Taiju
    S-Senku!
[03:52] Stanley
    Our work's done.
[03:54] Stanley
    I've taken down the enemy science leader.
[04:00] Stanley
    You two stay here.
[04:03] Stanley
    Keep an eye on them.
[04:04] Carlos
    Wait...
[04:05] Max
    What about the lady?!
[04:07] Stanley
    Leave her or save her. Up to you.
[04:11] Stanley
    It's not my problem.
[04:14] Max
    Damn it!
[04:17] Carlos
    Miss...
[04:20] Luna
    Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What do I do?!
[04:25] Ginro
    Senku!
[04:26] Ginro
    They killed him!
[04:31] Ryusui
    Calm down!
[04:32] Ryusui
    "We've erased the enemy science leader.
    They won't catch up to us in firepower now."
[04:37] Ryusui
    "Now we just wait and put on
    pressure until the kids surrender."
[04:43] Ryusui
    The enemy isn't expecting anything right now.
[04:45] Ryusui
    It's our opportunity to strike back!
[04:47] Ryusui
    Am I right?
[04:52] Yo
    Okay, maybe so, but...
[04:54] Yo
    I get it, but...
[04:56] Yo
    It's not about taking an opportunity right now.
[04:59] Yo
    Not in this situation!
[05:01] Ginro
    He's right!
[05:02] Ginro
    Can we at least make a grave for Senku?
[05:07] Stanley
    Don't give up just yet.
[05:15] Francois
    "Heh, heh. I'm not dead, dumbass."
[05:24] Francois
    "The bullet's clean out," he seems to be saying.
[05:31] Taiju
    You don't need to talk, Senku!
[05:33] Taiju
    Let your body rest!
[05:35] Ginro
    Thank goodness!
[05:36] Ginro
    He barely—
[05:38] Matsukaze
    If I may...
[05:39] Kinro
    Don't let them know!
[05:41] Kinro
    The enemy could be listening!
[05:43] Kaseki
    You softened the bullet's impact?
[05:46] Kaseki
    With this bag of flour and water?
[05:51] Kaseki
    You do the damnedest things.
[05:55] Francois
    "Yeah. Although if it had been a head shot,
    I'd be dead ten billion percent."
[06:01] Francois
    "But there's a chance that only I know
    the recipe for the revival fluid."
[06:05] Francois
    "They must have wanted to give
    me time to leave a will."
[06:10] Francois
    "I knew they would aim for my chest."
[06:16] Francois
    That's what he seems to be saying.
[06:18] Francois
    In English, "If it was a head shot,
    it would have been an instant death."
[06:23] Yo
    Wow, simultaneous interpretation!
[06:25] Minami
    Stop talking already!
[06:28] Luna
    Wow.
[06:31] Luna
    I can't believe he thought that far ahead.
[06:35] Luna
    In that situation, no less.
[06:40] Taiju
    He's unconscious!
[06:42] Taiju
    Was it fatal after all?!
[06:44] Francois
    I'll do what I can.
[06:46] Francois
    But beyond that, we'll need a doctor.
[07:04] Luna
    I think...
[07:05] Luna
    I mean, my memory's really, really shaky, but...
[07:09] Luna
    If you squeeze the upper arm,
[07:12] Luna
    the pulse at the wrist vanishes.
SIGN    Low Blood Pressure
    Pulse vanishes with a light press
SIGN    High Blood Pressure
    Pulse vanishes with a firm press
[07:15] Luna
    If it only takes a light press,
    it's low blood pressure.
[07:18] Luna
    If it takes a firm press,
    it's high blood pressure.
[07:22] Luna
    And you can get a reading that way or something.
[07:25] Luna
    His blood pressure's down.
[07:27] Ryusui
    Luna, are you a doctor?
[07:30] Luna
    No, no, no!
[07:31] Luna
    Of course not! I'm just a kid!
[07:35] Luna
    It's just that I was a student...
[07:38] Luna
    in medical school.
[07:44] Luna
    I'm gonna become a capable woman
    and net myself a smart guy!
[07:50] Luna
    But I only got in through my dad's connections.
[07:54] Luna
    I paid a ton of attention in class
    so that no one would complain,
[07:59] Luna
    but I had no idea what was going on.
[08:02] Luna
    I ended up being the only one flunking.
[08:06] Taiju
    Please!
[08:09] Taiju
    Please, Luna!
[08:11] Taiju
    We have no one else.
[08:16] Taiju
    No one.
[08:19] Taiju
    Senku is our friend.
[08:24] Taiju
    Please.
[08:26] Taiju
    Save him.
[08:40] Chrome
    Damn it, this place...
[08:42] Chrome
    Where do we even attack from?
[08:44] Chrome
    They'll see us no matter what.
[08:47] Chrome
    They're just gonna fill us with arrows.
[08:50] Kohaku
    Indeed. Arrows I might be able to deal with...
[08:54] Hyoga
    Actually, we're more likely to be
    shredded by machine gun fire.
[08:58] Chrome
    Shit.
[08:59] Chrome
    Right, they're another Kingdom of Science.
[09:13] Kohaku
    We've got some mighty
    reinforcements with us now!
[09:16] Chrome
    How did you find us here?
[09:19] Suika
    Gen left a trail of flower petals for us.
[09:22] Suika
    We followed them here.
[09:26] Tsukasa
    So that's the enemy headquarters.
[09:29] Tsukasa
    I'd like for us to make it through
    the corn fields during the night...
[09:32] Tsukasa
    But it's too open. It won't work.
[09:36] Tsukasa
    The water would be closer,
    but there aren't enough obstructions.
[09:40] Hyoga
    If only we could sneak into their castle...
[09:43] Hyoga
    I would be unmatched in close-quarters combat.
[09:46] Ukyo
    But on top of that, we'd need to capture
    Doctor Xeno and make an escape.
[09:53] Tsukasa
    We may have to dig.
[09:56] Hyoga
    Indeed.
[09:58] Kohaku
    Dig?
[09:59] Ukyo
    You don't mean...
[10:02] Tsukasa
    Yeah.
[10:04] Tsukasa
    It's The Great Escape in reverse.
[10:06] Tsukasa
    We'll craft an underground
    path into the enemy castle.
[10:10] Tsukasa
    We're making a tunnel.
[10:12] Chrome
    O-Oh, shit!
[10:14] Suika
    Th-That's too much work!
[10:18] Hyoga
    We'll need to ask Senku-kun
    for all the digging equipment.
[10:24] Chrome
    R-Right.
[10:28] Ukyo
    Speak of the devil.
[10:30] Ukyo
    It's a call from the Perseus.
[10:33] Ryusui
    4-3. 3-2. 3-3. 3-2.
[10:38] Chrome
    Huh?
[10:38] Kohaku
    Why is Ryusui suddenly chanting random numbers?
[10:41] Ryusui
    7-4. 7-6. 4-7. 4-3. 1-1.
[10:41] Kohaku
    Is he messing around?
[10:43] Ukyo
    It's the Uesugi cipher.
[10:46] Ukyo
    Warlord Uesugi Kenshin used this
    cipher during the Warring States era.
[10:50] Ukyo
    The way it works is really simple.
[10:53] Ukyo
    You convey a message by speaking the
    numbers that correspond to the kana chart.
[10:57] Hyoga
    As proper as Doctor Xeno may be,
[11:00] Hyoga
    I doubt many people outside of Japan
    would know the Iroha syllabary poem.
[11:05] Ukyo
    It's such low-tech encryption
    compared to the enemy's.
[11:08] Ukyo
    It's simple but effective.
[11:10] Ukyo
    Although they'll eventually crack it with
    frequency analysis if we send long messages.
[11:14] Kohaku
    What is he telling us with
    this so-called "cipher"?
[11:17] Ryusui
    6-3. 5-7. 2-4.
[11:22] Ukyo
    Senku's been sniped.
[11:28] Ukyo
    It's all right. He's still alive.
[11:33] Hyoga
    But I suspect he's in no state
    to make us science tools.
[11:39] Kohaku
    We still need to dig.
[11:42] Kohaku
    Without science, if we must.
[11:46] Ukyo
    We have a message from Senku.
[11:49] Ukyo
    Just three characters.
[11:51] Ukyo
    4-7.
[11:54] Ukyo
    1-2.
[11:57] Ukyo
    4-2.
[12:01] Senku
    Chrome.
[12:22] Senku
    You know what to do, don't you?
[12:29] (Flashback) Byakuya
    No matter the situation,
    humanity, ten billion percent,
[12:34] (Flashback) Byakuya
    always produces a greedy bastard who
    wants to know everything about the world.
[12:43] Senku
    You're the scientist now,
[12:48] Senku
    Doctor Chrome.
[13:00] Chrome
    We're crafting a secret tunnel
    to Doctor Xeno's main base.
[13:07] Chrome
    With the power of science.
[13:10] Chrome
    But Senku's been shot.
    He's on absolute bed rest.
[13:14] Chrome
    So then, who?
[13:16] Chrome
    Can I really do this?
[13:20] Chrome
    Me? The kid who's been coloring
    flames and calling it sorcery?
[13:26] Chrome
    No...
[13:29] Chrome
    It's not about whether I can do it
    or not. There isn't anyone else!
[13:34] Chrome
    I'm science user Chrome.
[13:36] Chrome
    I'll make it all!
[13:39] Chrome
    Road map and all!
[13:45] Tsukasa
    We'll need time.
[13:49] Tsukasa
    At least two weeks.
[13:55] Ryusui
    Doctor Xeno's side is
    under the impression that
[13:57] Ryusui
    they've defeated Senku,
    and with him, the threat of science.
[14:01] Ryusui
    Which means they'll be ordering
    our surrender imminently.
[14:04] Magma
    Surrender? You're a moron!
[14:07] Magma
    We'd never do that!
[14:08] Ginro
    But what if they keep telling us to surrender?
[14:12] Nikki
    Hyoga's right. They'll eventually come
    at us with high-speed pirate ships.
[14:18] Ryusui
    Will that be tomorrow? Or a month from now?
[14:21] Ryusui
    That, we don't know.
[14:23] Ryusui
    But make them think brute force is
    risky and that it'd be wise to go slow.
[14:28] Ryusui
    Skew their assessment in that direction.
[14:32] Ryusui
    Am I right?
[14:37] Francois
    "Yeah, we're gonna buy us a shit ton of time."
[14:41] Francois
    "Ukyo has the real Medusa on him."
[14:45] Francois
    "It'll be a special gift for Doctor Xeno."
[14:49] Taiju
    What?!
[14:59] Guard
    What's this?
[15:02] Ginro
    Wh-Wh-Why are we handing it over to them?!
[15:05] Ginro
    The Medusa is our special weapon!
[15:07] Nikki
    It's out of battery anyway.
[15:09] Ginro
    Still, though!
[15:13] Ryusui
    I see now.
[15:15] Ryusui
    A scientist of Doctor Xeno's stature
    will understand the moment he sees it.
[15:20] Ryusui
    He'll know that it's an object of superhuman
    science beyond anything from the 21st century.
[15:25] Kinro
    Will that be sufficient intimidation?
[15:28] Ryusui
    What a pedestrian concern.
[15:30] Ryusui
    It'll come with fake commentary, of course.
[15:32] Minami
    From who?!
[15:35] Minami
    Um...
[15:36] Minami
    So you want me to read the situation
    and tell a convenient lie,
[15:39] Minami
    saying, "This is a petrification
    weapon. We have more"?
[15:42] Minami
    Are you telling me there's someone with
    the enemy who can convey such a bluff?
[15:50] Gen
    Is that what I think it is?!
[15:51] Gen
    A petrification weapon?!
[15:57] Xeno
    You know of it, Mr. Gen?
[16:05] Gen
    So that happened, and we picked up
    a ton of them on a southern island.
[16:12] Gen
    It's a super old out-of-place
    artifact from way back,
[16:16] Gen
    so I guess the one they shot at us was a dud.
[16:19] Gen
    Otherwise, we'd all have
    been turned into stone.
[16:24] Gen
    Oh, no!
[16:26] Gen
    That should about do it, right, Senku-chan?
[16:28] Gen
    You'd only hand over the actual
    petrification device if it was a bluff.
[16:35] Brody
    That's some real bullshit, you bat bastard!
[16:39] Brody
    You lied about the leader already.
[16:42] Brody
    Doctor Taiju, my ass! It was Doctor Senku!
[16:46] Gen
    For real?!
[16:48] Gen
    They had me fooled!
[16:49] Gen
    They were together all the time,
    come to think of it...
[16:53] Gen
    Senku-chan was the actual talented scientist?
[16:59] Xeno
    Setting aside Mr. Gen's trustworthiness,
[17:03] Xeno
    it's indisputable that this elegant machine
    is beyond the technology of the old world.
[17:09] Stanley
    How is it triggered?
[17:11] Stanley
    How long does it activate?
[17:13] Stanley
    And what's its range?
[17:15] Maya
    Stanley, you're back!
[17:20] Gen
    I'm sorry, Stanley-chan.
[17:23] Gen
    Only the battle team knows the details.
[17:27] Gen
    All I'm aware of...
[17:30] Gen
    is that just like the evil petrification beam
[17:33] Gen
    from thousands of years ago, it's inescapable.
[17:37] Gen
    Rush into their ship,
    and they might petrify all of us.
[17:45] Xeno
    Yeah, it is unexplained science, after all.
[17:48] Xeno
    We have no way to know if it's true or not.
[17:51] Xeno
    But either way...
[18:01] Maya
    I was the kind of girl
    used to play by the dumpster!
[18:03] Gen
    So loud!
[18:05] Gen
    What?! Is she singing?
[18:07] Gen
    She's trying to!
[18:09] Maya
    I didn't care what they say
    because I found my treasure!
[18:09] Gen
    It's a total weapon of mass destruction!
[18:19] Stanley
    Do we still not have the thing?
[18:22] Stanley
    With that, they won't even have time
    to throw the petrification weapon.
[18:30] Stanley
    I can easily overwhelm the enemy ship.
[18:35] Xeno
    Doctor Brody, we're counting
    on your genius mechanic skills.
[18:41] Xeno
    When can we expect it?
[18:44] Xeno
    In a month? Six months?
[18:50] Brody
    Do you know who I am, son?
[18:53] Brody
    Two weeks.
[18:55] Brody
    I'll finish it in two weeks.
[18:57] Xeno
    Magnificent.
[18:59] Xeno
    An elegant answer indeed.
[19:03] Gen
    So they aren't letting me in on it.
[19:03] Gen
    You can feel it in the air!
[19:06] Gen
    They're making something.
[19:10] Gen
    Some kind of science item that Senku-chan
[19:14] Gen
    would have never thought of.
[19:17] Gen
    I think I managed to buy time.
[19:22] Gen
    But with time, the enemy's
    science will make progress, too.
[19:30] Gen
    There's a time limit on this.
[19:40] Gen
    It's a science vs. science craft-off!
[19:46] Chrome
    I'm not gonna be able to do this alone.
[19:49] Chrome
    I'm counting on all of you!
[19:51] Suika
    I'm gonna make myself useful!
[19:59] Kohaku
    Are we getting some kind of measurement
    by just staring at the enemy base?
[20:04] Ukyo
    It's called trigonometrical surveying.
[20:06] Ukyo
    We just need the length of one line
    and the angle to the other side,
[20:09] Ukyo
    and we can calculate the distance that we
    need to dig without actually going there.
[20:13] Chrome
    Add this number, and... no, wait, multiply...
[20:17] Chrome
    Um...
[20:22] Kohaku
    Arithmetic!
[20:24] Kohaku
    I remember you getting reamed by Senku in
    that number battle you challenged him to.
[20:29] Chrome
    I only knew the times table
    up to nine at the time.
[20:33] Chrome
    Not that I'm much better now.
[20:38] Suika
    That's amazing!
[20:39] Kohaku
    This is so complicated.
[20:42] Chrome
    We're just getting started.
[20:44] Chrome
    There's a lot more to do.

[21:58] Tsukasa
    Yup. We can advance through the dirt.
