**[00:08] ---**
A rabbit!
**[00:09] ---**
Who said you could look!
**[00:14] ---**
I wanted to show it to my mom.
**[00:17] ---**
A rabbit?
**[00:18] ---**
He's not just any rabbit!
He can do incredible things!
**[00:22] ---**
No one knows where he is right now...
**[00:25] ---**
but he's somewhere.
**[00:27] ---**
When we find him, we can go anywhere.
**[00:34] ---**
Finished!
Finished!
**[00:39] ---**
They match.
**[00:41] ---**
You're incredible!
**[02:46] ---**
Recall
**[03:19] ---**
Looks like this place is about over too.
**[03:22] ---**
Over here.
**[03:25] ---**
Mom.
**[03:26] ---**
Timothy, where were you?
**[03:30] ---**
Come on, let's go.
**[03:34] ---**
The patrol flights are
increasing, aren't they?
**[03:37] ---**
Yeah, ever since a certain person came.
**[03:40] ---**
I wonder why that is.
**[03:42] ---**
Why don't you go someplace else?
**[03:46] ---**
Why did you come here in the first place?
**[03:49] ---**
Because I...
**[03:52] ---**
Because Vincent is the chosen one.
**[03:59] ---**
He is a well-known revolutionary in Romdo.
**[04:04] ---**
He's a warrior who's
conducted resistance activities
**[04:07] ---**
while confronting the dome's
ruling establishment head-on.
**[04:11] ---**
Hey, Hoody, hold on a second.
**[04:13] ---**
You saw his magnificent
gunplay, didn't you?
**[04:16] ---**
They can send all the
patrol flights they want
**[04:18] ---**
and he'll destroy them as
easily as taking candy from a baby.
**[04:26] ---**
Romdo is on the verge of falling.
**[04:29] ---**
Citizens turned refugees want
to join the Commune *en masse*.
**[04:32] ---**
And in a last ditch effort,
the city has launched
**[04:35] ---**
a series of attacks against us.
**[04:37] ---**
The officials are struggling
to keep anyone else from leaving.
**[04:43] ---**
But instead,
**[04:45] ---**
it's only ignited the fire within
the revolutionary warrior, Vincent.
**[04:49] ---**
The fools.
**[04:51] ---**
Hoody.
**[04:52] ---**
Revolutionary warrior?
**[04:56] ---**
Who cares what happens
to Romdo in the first place?
**[04:58] ---**
I'm tired of being caught
in the middle of this.
**[05:01] ---**
What are you saying?
**[05:02] ---**
We've staked our freedom
and dignity on this revolution.
**[05:05] ---**
What good is freedom if we're dead?
**[05:08] ---**
She's got a point there.
That's right.
**[05:11] ---**
On my word, we're not losing anyone else.
**[05:14] ---**
How can you be so certain?
**[05:18] ---**
Well, because a certain source
has been tipping me off
**[05:24] ---**
as to where the patrol flights will attack.
**[05:30] ---**
I've kept it secret to avoid
confusion but I've been negotiating
**[05:34] ---**
for our Commune's autonomy
**[05:36] ---**
with the authorities in Romdo.
**[05:39] ---**
The enemy is anxious to settle.
**[05:42] ---**
They came here on their
knees asking us to return to Romdo.
**[05:46] ---**
I'll be damned!
**[05:47] ---**
It's a dream come true!
**[05:55] ---**
That was a close call.
**[05:59] ---**
If I hadn't extended a
helping hand to you back there
**[06:02] ---**
they'd all be ganging up on you right now.
**[06:04] ---**
But that's still no reason to lie.
**[06:08] ---**
I managed to get you
out of it by thinking on my feet.
**[06:13] ---**
It was a very close call.
**[06:21] ---**
Leave things to Hoody and we'll be fine.
**[06:26] ---**
What is it, Quinn?
You still got a bone to pick?
**[06:30] ---**
Not really.
**[06:32] ---**
I was just wondering how on
Earth Hoody got in touch with Romdo.
**[06:52] ---**
Yes, this is the Commune.
**[06:54] ---**
I have a communication for Romdo.
**[06:56] ---**
Over.
**[06:58] ---**
What's the matter?
**[07:00] ---**
Quinn was wondering...
**[07:02] ---**
What's that? All right.
**[07:07] ---**
Seems their backs
are really up against the wall.
**[07:12] ---**
They're plotting to
switch over to our side.
**[07:15] ---**
They're completely desperate.
**[07:18] ---**
Someone from Romdo's coming here?
**[07:21] ---**
Who? A negotiator?
**[07:23] ---**
The negotiator's...
**[07:25] ---**
Could it be he's coming for us?
**[07:29] ---**
Well, I don't suppose
that's out of the question, but...
**[07:32] ---**
We can go back to Romdo!
**[07:34] ---**
We're in luck.
**[07:35] ---**
He did it!
**[07:38] ---**
Say, is that the radio?
**[07:51] ---**
All that worrying for nothing.
**[07:52] ---**
I tried to tell you.
**[07:54] ---**
With the revolutionary warrior
on our side, we're invincible.
**[07:59] ---**
Speaking of which, where is the warrior?
**[08:10] ---**
I found you!
**[08:12] ---**
You're playing hide ‘n seek? Me too!
**[08:18] ---**
Get out of here, will you?
**[08:21] ---**
Roger!
**[08:22] ---**
Hide-and-seek! Hide-and-seek!
**[08:30] ---**
Doesn't look like he's around here.
**[08:31] ---**
Nope.
**[08:48] ---**
Finished!
**[08:49] ---**
Me too!
**[08:52] ---**
Don't copy me.
**[09:01] ---**
Why the long face, revolutionary warrior?
**[09:05] ---**
I'm sorry, but you started all of this.
**[09:09] ---**
Are you like them too?
**[09:12] ---**
Totally dependent on me,
but quite adept at complaining.
**[09:17] ---**
I'm the only one concerned
about the Commune.
**[09:21] ---**
Not to worry.
**[09:22] ---**
If we can ride this out, we'll find peace.
**[09:26] ---**
If it comes to it, we can
escape on the Centzon Totochtin.
**[09:29] ---**
Centzon...?
**[09:31] ---**
The four hundred rabbits.
**[09:34] ---**
Rabbits?
**[09:38] ---**
I found the rabbit!
**[09:41] ---**
Hippity-hop.
**[09:42] ---**
Wait!
**[09:44] ---**
Hippity-hop.
**[09:52] ---**
Anyway, no one's seen it except for Hoody.
**[09:55] ---**
I don't have the slightest clue
what the hell kind of vehicle it is.
**[09:58] ---**
Giving it that ridiculous name,
"The Four Hundred Rabbits."
**[10:02] ---**
Who knows where he's hiding it.
**[10:04] ---**
Why would he hide it?
**[10:06] ---**
He gave some crazy story about
the outside world being dangerous...
**[10:10] ---**
but he just wants to keep us here.
**[10:12] ---**
He doesn't want to lose his companions.
**[10:15] ---**
It scares me.
**[10:17] ---**
Lies lead to more lies...
**[10:18] ---**
and at some point,
I'm afraid there's no going back.
**[10:23] ---**
It's a tragic thing, being human.
**[10:27] ---**
And that goes for every single one of us.
**[10:32] ---**
When's the negotiator coming?
**[10:34] ---**
He'll be here soon.
**[10:35] ---**
Where's he coming from?
**[10:37] ---**
From over there, probably.
**[10:40] ---**
He'll try to make it look
like he's coming from there
**[10:43] ---**
by coming all the way
around from over there.
**[11:48] ---**
Hoody, he's here! He's here!
**[11:51] ---**
Who?
**[11:53] ---**
This way.
**[12:01] ---**
It's the negotiator.
**[12:26] ---**
I can't hear a thing.
What are they talking about?
**[12:30] ---**
I can't see the negotiator's face.
**[12:32] ---**
I wonder if Hoody can handle this well.
**[12:45] ---**
You don't look like the
negotiator from last time,
**[12:49] ---**
but why don't you start
by giving me your name.
**[12:55] ---**
This isn't going anywhere.
**[12:57] ---**
What on Earth have you come here for?
**[13:02] ---**
Have you lost your nerve and
want to abandon the negotiations?
**[13:05] ---**
Are you going to use military force?
**[13:06] ---**
In that case, he'll be your adversary.
**[13:11] ---**
Well...
**[13:12] ---**
Vincent, it's me.
**[13:16] ---**
Re-l Mayer.
**[13:19] ---**
I've come for you.
**[13:23] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[13:24] ---**
You're going back to Romdo.
**[13:26] ---**
It's not that easy for me now.
**[13:30] ---**
What's going on?
**[13:32] ---**
Once someone leaves
Romdo, they're unable to return.
**[13:35] ---**
Why? Why just him?
**[13:40] ---**
Shut up! Go over there!
**[13:45] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[13:46] ---**
Let's go, Vincent.
**[13:48] ---**
Wait! I won't let you take Vincent.
**[13:51] ---**
Do you want to be killed?
**[13:55] ---**
Re-l. It's me. Can you hear me?
**[13:58] ---**
Chief, we've received
a report from the Security...
**[14:01] ---**
Re-l?
**[14:04] ---**
What is it?
**[14:04] ---**
Out of my way!
**[14:06] ---**
What's going on?
**[14:07] ---**
There are people everywhere outside.
**[14:09] ---**
Re-l, I told you not to come
in contact with the people there.
**[14:14] ---**
They are standing right in
front of me, I can't miss them.
**[14:18] ---**
Why were you hiding this from me?
**[14:20] ---**
I didn't want to cause you any undue worry.
**[14:24] ---**
This isn't just about the Proxy anymore.
**[14:27] ---**
Proxy?
**[14:28] ---**
That sounds very suspicious.
**[14:31] ---**
Don't engage in any further contact with...
**[14:34] ---**
Damn it!
**[14:36] ---**
How come you know about the monster?
**[14:39] ---**
You think Proxies are monsters?
**[14:43] ---**
You've got a lot to learn, young lady.
**[14:45] ---**
He's laughing.
**[14:47] ---**
He isn't fazed a bit.
**[14:48] ---**
They're said to be beasts and demons,
**[14:51] ---**
but that's all nonsense.
**[14:53] ---**
Proxies are magicians.
**[14:55] ---**
They can change themselves into any form.
**[14:59] ---**
They can easily disappear at will.
**[15:05] ---**
They can also enter
humans and control their spirit.
**[15:11] ---**
They can shoot lightning bolts,
scorching the Earth in an instant.
**[15:17] ---**
They've even been known to
conjure up flame-spewing planets.
**[15:23] ---**
Won't you be quiet!
**[15:30] ---**
Get out of here and
stay there until I say it's all right!
**[15:36] ---**
Tag! You're it!
**[15:41] ---**
Between you and me,
**[15:42] ---**
there's not just a single Proxy either.
**[15:46] ---**
Take one step into the outside
world and you'll find them everywhere.
**[15:49] ---**
With my own eyes, I've confirmed seeing...
**[15:55] ---**
Five?
**[16:00] ---**
You're wasting my time.
**[16:02] ---**
Come on, Vincent.
**[16:03] ---**
Wait.
**[16:05] ---**
If you feel that strongly,
then I guess I don't have a choice.
**[16:09] ---**
For you, I'll make an exception and
tell you where the Proxy is.
**[16:13] ---**
Provided that you accept our conditions.
**[16:18] ---**
Re-l, it's me. Can you hear me?
**[16:21] ---**
What is it?
**[16:23] ---**
First, you recognize our autonomy and
**[16:26] ---**
The situation has changed.
**[16:26] ---**
immediately revise those hostile policies.
**[16:27] ---**
You must return immediately.
**[16:29] ---**
I was already planning to.
**[16:31] ---**
You're unusually willing.
**[16:32] ---**
Second, you establish friendly
relations with us at once.
**[16:34] ---**
Have you captured Vincent Law?
**[16:36] ---**
Of course.
**[16:37] ---**
Those who wish to return to Romdo are...
**[16:41] ---**
You're too noisy! Go over there!
**[16:46] ---**
But that's where the patrol
flights have been...
**[16:48] ---**
There're no patrol flights when
we're in the middle of negotiations!
**[16:51] ---**
I see. Hurry up, Vincent.
**[16:57] ---**
We don't have any more time.
**[17:00] ---**
The Security Bureau is preparing for a
mop-up operation against the Commune.
**[17:03] ---**
You'll also be killed if you're here.
**[17:06] ---**
Mop-up operation?
**[17:08] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[17:10] ---**
We were just discussing
establishing friendly relations.
**[17:12] ---**
Come on, Vincent.
**[17:15] ---**
Troops are coming here?
**[17:17] ---**
We're going to be laid to waste?
**[17:19] ---**
What about me?
What am I supposed to do?
**[17:22] ---**
Let go!
**[17:23] ---**
You're going to abandon us?!
**[17:27] ---**
You're going to escape by
yourself, even after I saved you!
**[17:35] ---**
Hey, I said don't copy me.
**[17:41] ---**
Draw something that's your own idea.
**[17:44] ---**
My own idea?
**[17:46] ---**
Don't ask me.
**[17:48] ---**
Just let something come to you and draw it.
**[17:51] ---**
Like something you really
want to eat right now.
**[17:53] ---**
I don't eat.
**[17:55] ---**
Oh, right. Then try closing your eyes.
**[18:00] ---**
Now remember something fun.
**[18:06] ---**
After you think of something,
then you can draw it.
**[18:17] ---**
We're going back.
**[18:19] ---**
We need to pack our bags.
**[18:22] ---**
What? Patrol flights?
**[18:25] ---**
They're not supposed to be here.
**[18:27] ---**
Maybe they're coming to take us back.
**[18:39] ---**
Let's go, Vincent.
**[18:43] ---**
Umm...
**[18:47] ---**
Can't we bring the others along with us?
**[18:52] ---**
No, it's not right for me to go back alone.
**[18:56] ---**
Not when...
**[18:57] ---**
You'll forget about them in no
time once you're back in Romdo.
**[19:01] ---**
Them, the Commune, everything.
**[19:04] ---**
You just need to get back to your old life.
**[19:07] ---**
Can it really be like it was before?
**[19:10] ---**
Relax. I'll testify to your innocence.
**[19:14] ---**
That's not what I mean!
**[19:18] ---**
Now that I...
**[19:22] ---**
Now that I know about the outside world...
**[19:26] ---**
even if I go back to Romdo...
**[19:32] ---**
I can never become a fellow citizen.
**[19:34] ---**
There's no place else to go besides Romdo.
**[19:37] ---**
Where else would you go?
**[19:38] ---**
This garbage dump? Don't make me laugh.
**[19:42] ---**
You're right. Where should I go?
**[19:46] ---**
Not here or Romdo.
**[19:49] ---**
In which case, I might as
well go back to where I was born.
**[19:52] ---**
Back to the lost dome?
**[19:54] ---**
Are you out of your mind?
**[19:57] ---**
Watch out!
**[20:10] ---**
Stop!
**[21:02] ---**
Amazing. She can do anything.
**[21:17] ---**
Timothy?
**[21:24] ---**
Re-l? Re-l?
**[21:27] ---**
Deadalus, they knocked out
my electrical system.
**[21:31] ---**
I can't move like this.
**[21:39] ---**
No! You'll die if you come
in contact with the outside air.
**[21:45] ---**
Re-l, don't go!
**[21:57] ---**
Who on Earth are you?
**[22:12] ---**
I need to get in touch
with Romdo immediately.
**[22:14] ---**
Is that the radio?
**[22:17] ---**
This is...
**[22:25] ---**
No, the note should be higher there.
**[22:27] ---**
What the hell is this? What's going on?
**[22:28] ---**
I don't get it.
**[22:31] ---**
Hand over the radio!
**[22:34] ---**
Quinn, come with me.
**[22:37] ---**
What's the matter?
**[22:38] ---**
Hurry!
**[22:40] ---**
If we don't contact Romdo soon...
**[22:43] ---**
Settle down. Have something to drink.
**[22:43] ---**
Oh, that brings back memories...
**[22:45] ---**
Shut up!
I've had enough.
**[22:57] ---**
What's going on?
Why was there a Proxy here?
**[23:04] ---**
Why do they only show up wherever you are?
**[23:09] ---**
Answer me!
**[23:13] ---**
Who the hell are you?
**[23:19] ---**
Re-l?
**[23:24] ---**
Like I said, Timothy won't
give me my book back.
**[23:28] ---**
All right.
**[23:29] ---**
He won't answer me either.
**[25:31] ---**
The man standing in the way of our return.
**[25:35] ---**
When the balance of power
between attacking forces collapses
**[25:38] ---**
the door opens to a place
we must return to.
**[25:39] ---**
Return Home
**[25:44] ---**
