    Don't move!
[02:17] Apostle 1
    Who are you? Only authorized personnel
    are allowed in this area.
[02:23] Apostle 1
    You're that trash raider, aren't you?!
[02:25] Apostle 1
    A disgusting degenerate who's threatening
    the beauty of our city by hoarding trash!
[02:33] Apostle 1
    Just give yourself up!
[02:39] Apostle 1
    Trash!
[02:41] Apostle 1
    Get back here!
[02:46] Apostle 4
    Found him!
[02:47] Apostle 4
    Don't let him get away!
[02:58] Apostle 3

[03:01] Apostle 1
    Stop!
[03:13] Apostles
    He went this way!
[03:14] Apostles
    Find that trash raider, no matter what!
[03:23] Rudo
    Bunch of shitheads.
[03:26] Rudo
    I'm not threatening anything.
[03:28] Rudo
    You assholes.

[03:46] Woman A
    Hey, did you hear?
[03:48] Woman A
    There was another trash raid last night.
[03:51] Woman B
    Really? What kind of person
    runs off with trash?
[03:56] Woman A
    I'm sure it was those tribesfolk—
[04:03] Woman A
    Oh, tribesfolk.
[04:04] Woman A
    Disgusting. Look at how filthy he is!
[04:07] Woman B
    I wish they'd stick to their side!
[04:34] Tribesfolk A
    Seems like the whole city's talking about it.
[04:36] Tribesfolk B
    The trash raider, huh?
[04:39] Tribesfolk A
    Gotta be him again, right?
[04:41] Tribesfolk A
    Wish he'd knock it off.
[04:43] Tribesfolk B
    He'll bring the Apostles down on us all.
[04:47] Chiwa
    Rudo.
[04:49] Chiwa
    Did you go to pick up trash again?
[04:51] Rudo
    Chiwa.
[04:52] Chiwa
    The cityfolk are super picky
    about trash management!
[04:57] Chiwa
    There's no telling what they'll do
    if they catch you.
[04:59] Chiwa
    So why do you keep picking up trash?
[05:02] Rudo
    The wealthy are always throwing out
    perfectly usable things.
[05:06] Rudo
    I can't help but feel sorry for them.
[05:09] Rudo
    Also, it helps me make money
    to cover my living expenses.
[05:13] Chiwa
    You really love trash, huh, Rudo?
[05:16] Rudo
    No, it's not about—
[05:18] Boy A
    Man, what a stink!
[05:22] Boy A
    I think we've tracked down
    the source of the trash stench!
[05:26] Boy A
    Hey, Chiwa's here too.
[05:27] Chiwa
    What's your problem?
[05:29] Boy A
    You're gonna pick up the stink
    if you hang out with him.
[05:32] Boy A
    This loser wears those
    filthy gloves all the time.
[05:36] Boy A
    One touch and they'll give you a rash, I bet.
[05:43] Boy B
    No one's gonna buy the garbage
    this loser fixes up.
[05:46] Boy B
    You ever seen it?
[05:48] Boy B
    What he's got under those gloves
    is creepy as hell!
[05:52] Chiwa
    So what? We're no different than him.
[05:55] Boy B
    Nah, hanging out with him's a bad idea.
[05:58] Boy C
    He's the son of a homicidal maniac.
[06:02] Boy A
    The slums here were originally
    built to lock away criminals,
[06:06] Boy A
    and we're their descendants or something.
[06:09] Boy A
    We all work hard and keep our noses clean
    to try to rehabilitate our image.
[06:16] Boy A
    But this guy's dad screwed it all up
    by going on a killing spree!
[06:21] Boy A
    If you hang out with him,
    they'll assume you're just as bad as—
[06:31] Boy A
    S-See? The eyes of a criminal!
[06:35] Boy B
    It's true what they say—Like father, like son.
[06:38] Boy C
    You're gonna be a murderer
    too someday, jerkwad.
[06:44] Rudo
    Why would I...
[06:50] Chiwa
    Wasn't that an awful thing to say?
[06:54] Chiwa
    You're nothing like your father.
[06:56] Chiwa
    I believe in you.
[06:58] Chiwa
    You're a good person.
    You couldn't kill anybody.
[07:02] Rudo
    Y-Yeah?
[07:05] Rudo
    Th-Tha—
[07:07] Chiwa
    Look at this one! He's adorable!
[07:10] Chiwa
    Did you fix him up?
    You really are incredible.
[07:16] Rudo
    I-I thought you might...
[07:19] Rudo
    Th-That one's not for sale...
[07:26] Rudo
    I thought you might...
[07:27] Chiwa's Mom
    Chiwa.
[07:29] Chiwa
    Mom!
[07:30] Chiwa's Mom
    What are you doing? Let's get home now.
[07:33] Chiwa
    See you later, Rudo!
[07:36] Chiwa's Mom
    I told you to stay away from that boy.
[07:39] Chiwa
    But Mom...
[07:49] Rudo
    I'm ba—
[07:53] Regto
    Th-That one's not for sale.
    I thought you might...
[07:58] Regto
    That was it, right?
[08:01] Rudo
    Regto! Were you w-w-watchi...
[08:03] Regto
    You gotta be clearer about how you feel.
[08:06] Regto
    And anyway...
[08:08] Regto
    Let's talk about your
     little trash raid last night.
[08:14] Regto
    Listen up.
[08:16] Regto
    We're not so hard up that you gotta
    put yourself at risk like that.
[08:21] Regto
    Just let me handle things
    until you're grown up.
[08:23] Rudo
    I'm not at risk.
    They never found me before.
[08:27] Regto
    But they found you last night, right?
[08:30] Regto
    I know what you're thinking.
[08:32] Regto
    We're not related by blood.
[08:34] Regto
    But we're still family.
    Stop acting like you owe me something.
[08:40] Rudo
    Regto. You found me abandoned
    as a baby and raised me.
[08:46] Rudo
    It's not like I owe you something.
[08:47] Rudo
    I'm just showing my respect, as family.
[08:50] Regto
    Rudo.
[08:53] Regto
    Sure wish you could be that honest with Chiwa.
[08:59] Rudo
    W-We weren't talking about Chiwa!
[09:01] Rudo
    Ow!
[09:02] Regto
    Huh? Where'd you get that wound?
[09:06] Regto
    Did someone shoot you?!
[09:07] Rudo
    N-No! This isn't—
[09:13] Regto
    Give me a look.
[09:15] Regto
    I'll change the bandages
    on your hands while I'm at it.
[09:18] Regto
    Take off the gloves.
[09:23] Regto
    Stay away from the dumpsites, okay?
[09:26] Regto
    You might get it even worse next time.
[09:30] Rudo
    Seriously, it's not that bad.
[09:35] Rudo
    Compared to the wounds
    my dad left me with, anyway.
[09:42] Regto
    Major crimes are an instant death sentence—
    a drop into the Pit.
[09:47] Regto
    That's been the rule of this city
    since ancient times.
[09:51] Regto
    Your father was thrown into the Pit.
[09:55] Regto
    So you should take care of yourself
    and the things you care about.
[10:00] Regto
    Even in this shit heap of a world.
[10:08] Rudo
    My hands have been pitch black like this
    for as long as I can remember.
[10:12] Rudo
    Sometimes this incredible pain
    runs through them.
[10:15] Rudo
    The stares of people unnerved
    by the sight of my injury
[10:20] Rudo
    wore down my spirit a lot when I was a kid.
[10:25] Rudo
    That was when Regto gave me these gloves.
[10:32] Rudo
    They were beat-up like this even then,
[10:35] Rudo
    but they reduced the pain.
[10:38] Rudo
    I owe Regto more than I can ever repay.
[10:43] Regto
    Anyway, Rudo.
[10:44] Regto
    You'd better tell Chiwa how you feel fast,
    or someone's gonna take her from you.
[10:49] Regto
    She's such a cutie, y'know?
[10:51] Regto
    Go give her this tomorrow
    with a sweet li'l kiss.
[10:53] Rudo
    Like hell!
[10:54] Rudo
    He's pretty lowbrow, though.
[10:57] Regto
    Do it, or you won't get fed!
[10:58] Rudo
    Why do I have to?!
[11:00] Regto
    I'm saying this for your own good!
[11:03] Regto
    Fix that sour look of yours, too!
[11:05] Regto
    Go on! Smile!
[11:08] Rudo
    You're gonna tear my face open!
[11:15] Rudo
    Smile...
[11:17] (Flashback) Regto
    If you can't smile with your own power,
[11:20] (Flashback) Regto
    learn how to act like someone who can.
[11:25] Rudo
    Talking like he knows so much...
[11:27] Rudo
    There's no way it'll work
    with a face like mine.
[11:30] Rudo
    Stupid busybody.
[11:36] Rudo
    Guess she'll still be home now?
[11:53] Rudo
    They say the Pit is a giant trash dump.
[11:56] Rudo
    All trash ends up there in the end.
[12:02] Rudo
    And anyone who commits a crime
    eventually ends up
[12:08] Rudo
    in the Pit.
[12:18] Crowd
    Send the filth to the Pit!
[12:20] Crowd
    Send the filth to the Pit!
[12:23] Crowd
    Send the filth to the Pit!
    Send the filth to the Pit!
[12:24] Rudo
    That blackness swallowed up my father, too.
[12:27] Rudo
    So I hear.
[12:29] Rudo
    What happens to the people sent down there?
[12:34] Chiwa
    They're sending down another criminal, huh?
[12:36] Rudo
    Yeah...
[12:39] Chiwa
    Morning.
[12:40] Rudo
    Ch-Chiwa!
[12:41] Chiwa
    Fancy running into you!
[12:42] Chiwa
    Don't see you around here often.
[12:46] Rudo
    Oh, well...
[12:48] Chiwa
    It's a pretty awful view, huh?
[12:51] Chiwa
    In a lot of ways...
[12:53] Rudo
    No different than anywhere
    else in the slums, right?
[12:58] Chiwa
    I heard they built the slums
    on the edge of the city
[13:01] Chiwa
    so they could drive it into our heads...
[13:05] Chiwa
    "If you do anything bad, it's the Pit for you."
[13:09] Chiwa
    It's awful, don't you think?
[13:11] Chiwa
    Everyone who lives here has to see
    the executions, whether we want to or not.
[13:18] Chiwa
    Hey, Rudo.
[13:21] Chiwa
    I don't want to see you thrown in there.
[13:26] Chiwa
    I know there's a lot of trash that
    doesn't deserve to be thrown out,
[13:30] Chiwa
    but if you put yourself in danger
    and get caught just for that...
[13:34] Chiwa
    You really could end up getting sent to the Pit.
[13:38] Rudo
    Regto said the same thing.
[13:39] Chiwa
    He worries about you
    because he loves you, too.
[13:44] Rudo
    Loves me, huh?
[13:47] Rudo
    Loves me... too?
[13:53] Chiwa
    Oh, I didn't mean it like—
[13:56] Chiwa
    Um... um...
[14:05] Chiwa
    R-Rudo?
[14:07] Chiwa
    Huh?
[14:08] Chiwa
    That stuffed animal...
[14:11] Rudo
    Th-This... I just saw it and
    thought you might like it, so...
[14:19] Rudo
    You might not like it,
    since it came from the dump.
[14:22] Rudo
    But I thought it'd be happier with you
    than just sitting there.
[14:29] Rudo
    So...
[14:38] Chiwa
    He's lovely. I'll treasure him forever.
[14:58] Chiwa
    I've gotta tell Regto right away.
[15:00] Chiwa
    Can't wait to hear what he says.
[15:14] Tribesfolk C
    What are Apostles doing here?
[15:16] Tribesfolk D
    Did something happen?
[15:18] Tribesfolk C
    No way...
[15:21] Rudo
    I've gotta tell him... I mean, brag!
[15:30] Rudo
    But I bet what he'll say is, "go back there
    and actually say the words to her."
[15:39] Rudo
    I'm back. Listen up, Regto.
[15:41] Rudo
    I ran into Chiwa and--
[15:42] Regto
    Hey, welcome back, Rudo.
[16:05] Rudo
    Wh...
[16:06] Rudo
    What the hell did you do?!
[16:28] Rudo
    Son of a...
[16:32] Rudo
    Get... back here...
[16:43] Regto
    ...do...
[16:46] Regto
    Rudo...
[16:50] Regto
    ...run...
[16:51] Rudo
    Regto...
[16:52] Regto
    Run... Run...
[16:53] Rudo
    Regto!
[16:55] Rudo
    Why?
[16:56] Rudo
    Why did they...
[16:58] Rudo
    I'll get help! You're gonna pull through!
[17:01] Regto
    Rudo!
[17:03] Regto
    Run!
[17:05] Regto
    Change this shit heap of a world!
[17:15] Rudo
    Why?
[17:24] Apostle 1
    Clear!
[17:25] Apostle 3
    Turn yourself in!
[17:26] Apostle 3
    We caught you red-handed!
    We're taking you in for murder!
[17:30] Rudo
    Why...
[17:32] Rudo
    What are you talking about?
[17:34] Rudo
    No... It wasn't me.
[17:37] Rudo
    Why would I do something like this?!
[17:39] Rudo
    Besides, Regto's still alive...
[17:40] Apostle 3
    Don't be stupid!
[17:43] Apostle 3
    You can't talk your way out of this, murderer!
[17:46] Apostle 3
    You're covered in his blood!
[17:49] Rudo
    No! It wasn't me!
[17:51] Rudo
    The real killer just ran off!
[17:53] Rudo
    Go get him—
[17:54] Apostle 1
    Be quiet, murderer!
[17:55] Rudo
    Hang on. You have to listen—
[17:57] Apostle 3
    You can't talk your way
    out of this, tribesfolk filth!
[18:01] Rudo
    I said you've got it all wrong! Listen!
[18:03] Rudo
    This is bullshit! I—
[18:06] Boy B
    Hey, did you hear?
[18:07] Boy B
    Rudo finally killed someone.
[18:10] Boy C
    And his adoptive father, at that.
[18:12] Boys
    I knew he was bad news!
[18:12] Chiwa
    No way... Did Rudo really?
[18:16] Judge
    You have besmirched this beautiful,
    sacred land with your heinous act.
[18:21] Judge
    Not content to simply steal trash
    and befoul our city,
[18:25] Judge
    you committed the far more filthy
    sin of taking the life of another!
[18:30] Judge
    Even if the victim was a mere tribesfolk,
    those who commit murder
[18:36] Judge
    must not stay in these lands
    for one second longer!
[18:41] Judge
    You are hereby sentenced to death!
[18:46] Tribesfolk
    Send the filth to the Pit!
[18:49] Tribesfolk
    Send the filth to The Pit!
[18:49] Judge
    The Pit shall consume all filth!
[18:54] Tribesfolk
    Send the filth to the Pit!
    Send the filth to the Pit!
[18:57] Rudo
    What the hell is going on?
[19:00] Rudo
    How could this have happened?
[19:03] Rudo
    I didn't... I didn't do it.
[19:06] Rudo
    Please.
[19:08] Rudo
    Please, someone listen to me!
[19:16] Rudo
    Chiwa! Regto's been killed!
[19:19] Rudo
    Please, you have to find the culprit!
[19:21] Chiwa
    I believed in you.
[19:25] Chiwa
    But you really are a murderer's son.
[19:30] Tribesfolk
    Send the filth to the Pit!
[19:32] Tribesfolk
    Send the filth to the Pit!
[19:34] Tribesfolk
    Send the filth to the Pit!
     Send the filth to the Pit!
[19:47] Rudo
    You're the real filth here.
[19:50] Rudo
    Piles of shit with no will of your own.
[19:55] Rudo
    You've got eyes and ears,
[19:57] Rudo
    but you don't use them to see or to listen.
[20:00] Rudo
    Just worthless lumps of flesh.
[20:04] Rudo
    I'm gonna send you all...
[20:18] Rudo
    That's him.
[20:33] Rudo
    I'll send you to hell.
[20:36] Rudo
    All of you...
[20:38] Rudo
    All you people...
[20:40] Rudo
    Every one of you...
[20:42] Rudo
    I'll kill you a—
[21:13] Rudo
    What the...
[21:17] Rudo
    Am I...
[21:20] Rudo
    The hell is that smell?!
[21:30] Rudo
    What is this place?
[21:34] Rudo
    They sent me to the Pit, and then...
[21:45] Rudo
    They said it was a giant dumpsite.
[21:53] Rudo
    The Pit, where all filth ends up—
    trash, people, all of it—
[22:05] Rudo
    It really was hell.
