[01:35] ---
    "Carmen Goes Home"
[01:58] ---
    They really were a strange bunch,
[02:01] ---
    and that job I accepted
    is a pain in the butt.
[02:04] ---
    What am I gonna do?
[02:06] ---
    I haven't heard from them in a while.
[02:09] ---
    I wonder where they are now.
[02:17] ---
    Hey there, I thought it was you.
[02:20] ---
    Van! What are you doing?
[02:22] ---
    Hitchhiking.
[02:23] ---
    Hello, Carul!
[02:26] ---
    Carmen 99.
[02:28] ---
    Hello!
[02:30] ---
    My name is Joshua!
[02:31] ---
    My goodness. There's more of 'em.
[02:36] ---
    I don't need this thing.
[02:38] ---
    But they insisted that I give it to you.
[02:42] ---
    Excuse me but we're
    leaning over to one side.
[02:44] ---
    That's because we've
    got too many passengers.
[02:46] ---
    So don't complain about the balance.
[02:48] ---
    Hey kid, get off.
[02:50] ---
    That's OK. I'm fine.
[02:52] ---
    It's not OK. Get off!
[02:54] ---
    Van! Don't be obnoxious!
[02:59] ---
    You said your name's Joshua?
[03:01] ---
    You're not like your brother at all.
[03:03] ---
    I hear that a lot.
[03:04] ---
    There's one thing you have in common.
    The fact that I hate you.
[03:07] ---
    Van!
[03:10] ---
    So, where do you want to go?
[03:14] ---
    Do you know a place called Trinolia?
[03:18] ---
    I want to get an engineer there
    named Findley to do a job for me.
[03:21] ---
    I hear he's good.
[03:22] ---
    You can just drop us off nearby.
[03:24] ---
    Will you do it?
[03:26] ---
    Trinolia?
[03:29] ---
    It might be nice to go back to my hometown.
[03:41] ---
    Here we are, Trinolia.
[03:43] ---
    So this is where you're from.
[03:45] ---
    Don't gawk. You're embarrassing me.
[03:49] ---
    But...
[03:55] ---
    it's so much brighter
    and more cheerful than before.
[03:57] ---
    Hey, Carul!
[03:59] ---
    I thought that was you!
    It's been a long time!
[04:04] ---
    Hi.
[04:05] ---
    You're so flashy now. No, I mean so pretty.
[04:08] ---
    Hey, is that you Carul?
    How many years has it been?
[04:12] ---
    Six, I think.
[04:13] ---
    Is that right? Has it
    already been that long?
[04:16] ---
    It's so great to see you.
[04:18] ---
    What's going on? Is that Carul?
[04:20] ---
    Oh my god.
    We've missed you!
[04:22] ---
    Oh, that's right.
[04:23] ---
    You have to go see Hayetah!
    She's been worrying about you.
[04:26] ---
    That's what I was going to do.
[04:27] ---
    Well, see you later.
[04:28] ---
    Yeah. Say hello to Hayetah for me!
[04:31] ---
    See you, Carul!
[04:36] ---
    You sure are popular, Carmen.
[04:39] ---
    I didn't know I was myself.
[04:40] ---
    It's incredible.
[04:42] ---
    I can't believe this
    place is your hometown!
[04:44] ---
    The flowers are pretty too.
[04:46] ---
    I didn't used to think so but...
[04:48] ---
    the place sure brings
    back a lot of memories.
[04:50] ---
    So does Hayetah's house.
    Oh, they've built an addition.
[04:53] ---
    Is she a friend?
[04:54] ---
    Since we were kids.
[04:56] ---
    Hey, I didn't come here
    to meet your friend.
[04:59] ---
    Findley is her father.
[05:04] ---
    He was... kind of like my teacher.
[05:09] ---
    I feel sort of nervous.
[05:19] ---
    Carul?
[05:22] ---
    Hi.
[05:28] ---
    It's been so long.
[05:31] ---
    I thought you might never come back.
[05:33] ---
    You left without saying anything.
[05:36] ---
    I suppose I did.
[05:37] ---
    So, as I was telling you,
[05:39] ---
    we were hoping your father might be
    able to help us out with something.
[05:42] ---
    Please.
[05:43] ---
    Can you ask him?
[05:46] ---
    Van, what are you doing?
[05:48] ---
    Shut up.
[05:50] ---
    Hayetah?
[05:52] ---
    Father's not doing well right now.
[05:55] ---
    He's not?
[05:57] ---
    His age is catching up with him.
[05:59] ---
    Right now we're living off the
    money I make growing flowers.
[06:03] ---
    So then you're the one who...
[06:05] ---
    Yes. People in town have benefited as well.
[06:09] ---
    That's why everyone's nice to me now.
[06:14] ---
    I see. So that's why.
[06:16] ---
    Sorry, Carul.
[06:18] ---
    No, that's OK. I'm the one who suddenly...
[06:22] ---
    You can't just decide without me!
[06:25] ---
    Uncle Findley!
[06:28] ---
    Leaving me all alone for six years.
[06:33] ---
    So are the things I taught you useful?
[06:37] ---
    Yes.
[06:38] ---
    I heard your conversation.
[06:40] ---
    You want that thing analyzed. Right?
[06:42] ---
    Father!
[06:43] ---
    Don't worry!
[06:44] ---
    It's been so long since I've had a job.
[06:47] ---
    I could use a little excitement.
[06:53] ---
    They're all staying over at my place.
[06:55] ---
    Tell your father not to overdo it.
[06:58] ---
    Yeah.
[06:59] ---
    I'm sorry, Hayetah.
[07:00] ---
    It's OK.
[07:02] ---
    I'll make something
    and bring it over tomorrow.
[07:04] ---
    There are so many things
    I want to talk to you about.
[07:06] ---
    All right then. I'll be waiting.
[07:11] ---
    You're a reckless driver.
[07:13] ---
    Don't complain. You're riding for free.
[07:38] ---
    Wow! I haven't seen this in years.
[07:40] ---
    Carmen, is it all right if I
    borrow this vacuum cleaner?
[07:43] ---
    Sure, go ahead.
[07:44] ---
    And this apron too?
[07:46] ---
    I can't believe we still have that thing.
[07:48] ---
    It's yours.
[07:49] ---
    OK, we'll take care of the rest.
[07:53] ---
    Ever since we got here, all you've
    been doing is looking at things.
[07:55] ---
    You can't get anything done that way.
[07:57] ---
    I guess you're right. I'll leave it to you.
[08:02] ---
    Going somewhere?
[08:04] ---
    I got chased out, same as you.
[08:07] ---
    I thought I might dig
    around town for information.
[08:09] ---
    I thought this place was your home turf?
[08:10] ---
    It's what information brokers do.
[08:12] ---
    Want to come along?
[08:15] ---
    I didn't think you'd actually come.
[08:18] ---
    I've got nothing else to do.
[08:19] ---
    Oh, I see.
[08:22] ---
    Hey, what are you going
    to do with that kid, Joshua?
[08:26] ---
    I'll drop him off somewhere
    once Wendy's had enough of him.
[08:29] ---
    But I guess I can let him
    do what he wants for now.
[08:32] ---
    I've noticed a subtle change in you.
[08:35] ---
    What is it?
[08:36] ---
    I don't know.
[08:37] ---
    That's why it's subtle.
[08:42] ---
    It is now past time for
    elementary school students to go home.
[08:46] ---
    This classroom looks like a storage room.
[08:49] ---
    It is a storage room now.
[08:51] ---
    Looks like they're having classes
    in the new building over there.
[08:54] ---
    It feels kind of desolate.
[08:58] ---
    Hayetah and I used to sit next
    to each other like this and study.
[09:03] ---
    You've known her for a long time.
[09:05] ---
    Yeah.
[09:06] ---
    Our families were
    alienated from the rest of town.
[09:09] ---
    Why?
[09:10] ---
    Because we seemed suspicious, no?
[09:12] ---
    Scary men with their strange machines.
[09:15] ---
    That's what it is to be
    an information broker.
[09:20] ---
    My father was Uncle Findley's partner.
[09:24] ---
    Uncle Findley made the
    tools that he used for work.
[09:27] ---
    They really trusted each other.
[09:29] ---
    Uncle Findley trained
    me after my parents died.
[09:32] ---
    I wonder if that's why...
[09:34] ---
    after I left town, I ended up doing
    the same type of work my father did.
[09:44] ---
    Father, are you taking your
    medicine like you're supposed to?
[09:46] ---
    Yes.
[09:47] ---
    You don't have to do this.
    I can tell Carul for you.
[09:51] ---
    No. I'm fine.
[09:52] ---
    Fine?
[09:53] ---
    I don't know why I'm doing all this
[09:55] ---
    if you're just going to kill
    yourself from trying to do too much.
[10:08] ---
    Do you like them?
[10:10] ---
    Does it seem that way?
[10:12] ---
    You've been staring at them
    since you brought them in yesterday.
[10:14] ---
    Should we ask Hayetah
    about how to take care of them?
[10:19] ---
    But first let's look it up in a book.
[10:22] ---
    We can learn more that way.
[10:23] ---
    That's true, but...
[10:25] ---
    Hello Ms. Hayetah!
[10:28] ---
    Hello. Did you sleep well last night?
[10:30] ---
    Hey there, Ms. Hayetah!
[10:31] ---
    Wendy wants to know how to...
[10:33] ---
    Don't mind him.
[10:36] ---
    But this is amazing!
[10:38] ---
    It's only been one day
    and the place is so clean!
[10:41] ---
    Thanks to them.
[10:44] ---
    Joshua really knows how to clean things up.
[10:48] ---
    Maybe we can call him
    "Spic and Span Josh"...
[10:50] ---
    No thanks.
[10:52] ---
    Van didn't even lift a finger.
[10:54] ---
    He's "Van the Man Who Sleeps All Day."
[10:55] ---
    Yes, I can tell.
[10:59] ---
    I baked a pie. I hope you'll all eat it.
[11:01] ---
    You shouldn't have done that.
[11:03] ---
    Thank you very much.
[11:05] ---
    I'm not trying to make up for it,
[11:07] ---
    but it looks like it's going to take
    a little longer to analyze the board.
[11:10] ---
    I'm sorry, Van.
[11:12] ---
    It seems there's some type of
    function which he's never seen before.
[11:15] ---
    No, that's OK. Whatever
    he's able to find out.
[11:19] ---
    Say, would it be all right for me
    to go there once and look around?
[11:21] ---
    I'm into technical things.
[11:24] ---
    Well, maybe if it was
    sometime when I was there...
[11:27] ---
    Thank you so much!
[11:34] ---
    The secret flower garden?
[11:36] ---
    That's right. Our secret place
    that no one else knew about.
[11:41] ---
    Everyone teased us and
    we'd always go there and hide.
[11:45] ---
    It was the only place where we
    could play without having to worry.
[11:49] ---
    Hey, why don't we...
[11:50] ---
    I don't think that's a good idea.
[11:53] ---
    All the plants are dead.
[11:55] ---
    I see. A lot of things
    changed while I was away.
[12:01] ---
    But there are some things that didn't.
[12:06] ---
    Yeah, you're right.
[12:23] ---
    I wonder if it's a visitor.
[12:26] ---
    Well you see, it's been
    colder because of the rain
[12:28] ---
    and so the flowers haven't bloomed yet.
[12:31] ---
    I'm sure it won't be long now...
[12:32] ---
    It's all right. I was in
    too much of a hurry as well.
[12:35] ---
    I'm sorry.
[12:36] ---
    I have some business in
    Zonnet Junction as well,
[12:39] ---
    so I'll stop by here again in two weeks.
[12:42] ---
    I'll leave you your compensation
    and enough medicine for both of you.
[12:46] ---
    That would be a great help.
[12:47] ---
    In return, I'd like to at least
    deliver an improved strain to Comrade.
[12:52] ---
    You mean the Claw?
[12:57] ---
    No. It can't be.
[13:03] ---
    Mother, Father, don't worry.
[13:07] ---
    I'm doing OK on my own. So...
[13:10] ---
    Carmen!
[13:12] ---
    What are you all worked up about?
[13:19] ---
    That's not it.
[13:22] ---
    The petals are...
[13:27] ---
    I see. Is that right?
[13:30] ---
    We need to tell Van right away!
[13:32] ---
    Hold on!
[13:33] ---
    First I'll try to fish
    what's going on out of her.
[13:36] ---
    But...
[13:37] ---
    Has the woman left already?
[13:39] ---
    Yes. On a stagecoach.
[13:40] ---
    I wanted to put a transmitter on it,
    but I didn't have a chance.
[13:43] ---
    I want you to go home.
    I'll bring Hayetah over.
[13:47] ---
    Until then, not a word about this to Van!
[13:58] ---
    Hey, what happened?
[14:00] ---
    Hey!
[14:09] ---
    Hayetah, we need to talk.
[14:12] ---
    Hayetah?
[14:14] ---
    Uncle Findley, do you
    know where Hayetah went?
[14:17] ---
    There's something important
    I need to talk to her about.
[14:20] ---
    Uncle Findley!
[14:23] ---
    It's because of the flowers.
[14:25] ---
    Flowers?
[14:26] ---
    If a person without antibodies
    inhales a certain amount of the pollen
[14:30] ---
    it cripples the body.
[14:33] ---
    Hayetah didn't tell the
    people in town about it.
[14:38] ---
    And even if you take antibodies,
    eventually there are side affects...
[14:43] ---
    especially for those in a
    weakened physical condition like me.
[14:47] ---
    I know because I
    experimented on my own body.
[14:50] ---
    Why?
[14:52] ---
    She couldn't leave here.
[14:55] ---
    This town was the only
    place where she could live.
[14:57] ---
    It was my...
[14:59] ---
    It was both our faults that you two
    had to go through so much hardship.
[15:05] ---
    Pavlo worried about it too.
[15:07] ---
    No...
[15:09] ---
    She's mass producing the flowers
[15:12] ---
    somewhere I don't know about.
[15:15] ---
    If she grows any more,
    it's going to destroy the town.
[15:18] ---
    Please...
[15:20] ---
    destroy the flowers.
[15:23] ---
    Help Hayetah for me.
[15:37] ---
    I knew it.
[15:38] ---
    Welcome to the secret flower garden.
[15:42] ---
    I was just checking up on it.
[15:44] ---
    It's almost in full bloom.
[15:46] ---
    Everyone's going to be happy.
[15:50] ---
    She collapsed while she
    was examining the flowers
[15:52] ---
    and when she woke up she was like this.
[15:54] ---
    What's wrong with her?
[15:56] ---
    Flowers?
[15:59] ---
    Van, what do we do?
[16:02] ---
    Hayetah, you know what
    you're doing, don't you?
[16:06] ---
    Get rid of them.
[16:08] ---
    Do you want to destroy our hometown?
[16:10] ---
    It's my hometown.
[16:12] ---
    This has nothing to do with you.
[16:15] ---
    You abandoned this place.
[16:17] ---
    You have no right to just come
    back here and say whatever you want.
[16:21] ---
    While you were away,
[16:22] ---
    I slowly adapted to this
    place, little by little.
[16:27] ---
    It took six years.
[16:30] ---
    You have no idea how
    difficult it was, do you?
[16:34] ---
    Everyone's so incredibly kind now.
[16:37] ---
    You say, "Oh, things are different"
    and think that explains everything.
[16:42] ---
    But for me, I struggled for
    years to finally get a normal life.
[16:53] ---
    Really? The girl?
[16:56] ---
    I'm taking the medicine. You understand?
[16:58] ---
    -Yes.
    -And another thing.
[17:01] ---
    Tell me what you know about the Claw.
[17:04] ---
    My daughter was the one dealing with him.
[17:06] ---
    In that case, I'll have to ask her.
[17:08] ---
    By all means.
[17:11] ---
    There may be other victims as well.
[17:14] ---
    I should have had her take responsibility,
[17:18] ---
    but instead I asked Carul to...
[17:21] ---
    What are you saying?
[17:24] ---
    Sorry, I had to stop before I finished.
[17:27] ---
    A half-baked job. You don't have to pay me.
[17:30] ---
    Van!
[17:32] ---
    Give her the medicine on the table!
[17:33] ---
    Yes!
[17:35] ---
    Listen...
[17:37] ---
    Do me a favor, will you?
[17:42] ---
    Hayetah...
[17:45] ---
    I was surprised when I came back here.
[17:48] ---
    I couldn't believe it was so beautiful.
[17:51] ---
    Everyone was peaceful
    and there were flowers.
[17:55] ---
    I thought my hometown
    was such a great place.
[17:58] ---
    But I was wrong.
[18:00] ---
    I was only seeing things
    the way I wished they were.
[18:03] ---
    I wanted my hometown to
    be beautiful and peaceful.
[18:07] ---
    But the truth is, this place is
    exactly the same as when I left.
[18:12] ---
    Including you, Hayetah.
[18:17] ---
    I can finally be honest.
[18:20] ---
    I loved you and I hated you.
[18:24] ---
    I loved you because you were so kind,
[18:27] ---
    but I hated you for pitying me.
[18:30] ---
    I loved you
[18:32] ---
    because you grieved with me
    when my mother and father died.
[18:35] ---
    But I hated you because
    your father was alive.
[18:40] ---
    I loved and hated you too.
[18:45] ---
    I loved you because you protected me,
[18:48] ---
    I hated you because my father admired you.
[18:52] ---
    It's just like you said, Hayetah.
[18:55] ---
    This place isn't a flower garden anymore.
[18:58] ---
    Even with all these flowers here,
[18:59] ---
    the flower that was in our hearts is dead.
[19:24] ---
    Father! Father!
[19:26] ---
    Hayetah.
[19:29] ---
    Father!
[19:33] ---
    Father, why?
[19:35] ---
    Why don't you run away? Father!
[19:37] ---
    Because he's taking
    responsibility for what you did.
[19:40] ---
    He said he'd rather die than be a burden.
[19:45] ---
    He gave me the medicine.
[19:47] ---
    He said for you to hand it
    out to the people in town
[19:49] ---
    and then live your life
    however you wanted to.
[19:56] ---
    How could he? Father?
[20:02] ---
    Where is the Claw?
    Where are they taking the flowers?
[20:07] ---
    Tell me!
[20:09] ---
    Stop it! Don't be rough with her!
[20:14] ---
    She's my friend.
[20:17] ---
    The only friend I've
    ever had since I was a child.
[20:31] ---
    If Hayetah hasn't met him either,
[20:33] ---
    then the only clue we have about
    the Claw is what's inside this board.
[20:39] ---
    And thanks to Mr. Findley, it looks like
    the protection device has been removed.
[20:42] ---
    What does it contain?
[20:43] ---
    Well, that's still not clear.
[20:45] ---
    In that case, I'll go on ahead to
    Zonnet Junction and have it analyzed.
[20:49] ---
    I'll see to it that it's
    finished by the time you get there.
[20:52] ---
    Please.
[20:53] ---
    But what about money?
[20:55] ---
    You can pay me later
[20:56] ---
    since I'm looking for the
    woman Hayetah met as well.
[21:00] ---
    So, I wonder how we
    should get to Zonnet Junction.
[21:04] ---
    There's a train that leaves
    from the town of Meuuniere.
[21:08] ---
    A train.
[21:09] ---
    These people come here
    and mess everything up.
[21:12] ---
    Scaring the old man into
    thinking the flowers are poisonous.
[21:15] ---
    How are we supposed to
    make a living from now on?
[21:18] ---
    But we're still OK.
[21:21] ---
    What about Hayetah?
[21:22] ---
    On top of everything else,
    she lost her father.
[21:25] ---
    Some friend she is.
[21:29] ---
    She's bad news.
[21:31] ---
    I swear.
[21:32] ---
    It's all right. I'll go on ahead.
[21:35] ---
    Yeah.
[23:56] ---
    "Thank You Ocean"
[23:58] ---
    This is just a maybe, but
    out of all the people
[24:00] ---
    we've met up until now,
    if there was anyone
[24:04] ---
     who was stronger than Van,
    it's probably Kaiji.
[24:08] ---
    Kaiji was like the ocean...
[24:11] ---
    ...strong and gentle, with
    something unfathomable about him.
[24:15] ---
    He was the epitome of style.
[24:18] ---
    Well, that's a bit of an overstatement.
[24:20] ---
