[00:07] som
    Don't cry, Kikila!
[00:09] som
    You'll get all dried up!
[00:12] kiki
    But... Somali...
[00:15] dad
    Somali, it is time to board the wagon.
[00:18] dad
    We must depart.
[00:19] ---
    Okay.
[00:21] som
    Don't worry, Kikila.
[00:23] som
    Dad promised. He said we could
    journey together forever.
[00:28] som
    So we'll be back for sure! Okay?
[00:34] kiki
    Okay...
[00:41] (Flashback) fb
    That girl made a wish to be with you forever.
[00:46] (Flashback) fb
    I hope you don't betray that.
[00:55] som
    Dad!
[00:56] dad
    What is it, Somali?
[00:59] som
    Let's go! It's time to leave, right?
[01:03] dad
    Yes, it is.
[02:58] som
    I'm hot...
SIGN    Episode 5
     The Wandering Birds
[03:00] som
    The wagon makes things easy,
[03:03] som
    but the heat makes it hard again...
[03:09] gol
    The increased frequency
    of sandstorms at night
[03:12] gol
    requires that we travel
    while the sun is up.
[03:15] gol
    You must exercise patience
    until we reach a village.
[03:19] gol
    Drink.
[03:21] gol
    Failure to maintain hydration
    could prove dangerous.
[03:26] som
    It's warm...
[03:28] dad
    We will prioritize rest upon our arrival.
[03:30] som
    I wanna drink something cold...
[03:38] som
    Back from the brink of death!
[03:41] dad
    Another hyperbolic phrasing.
[03:44] dad
    Let us proceed.
[03:45] som
    Yeah!
[03:56] som
    This place is weird, huh, Dad?
[03:59] dad
    Winecup Village is a way point for travelers,
[04:03] dad
    built into the caldera of an extinct volcano.
[04:06] dad
    The terrain provides ideal
    shelter from sandstorms,
[04:10] dad
    so in time, travelers began to gather here,
[04:12] dad
    and a village was formed.
[04:18] som
    Let's see...
[04:20] som
    I wanna eat this!
[04:22] dad
    Consuming only cold things will
    decrease your body temperature.
[04:26] dad
    Request denied.
[04:27] som
    But it was hot for so long!
[04:30] man
    Travelers, eh?
[04:34] man
    For you. Safe travels!
[04:39] dad
    Um. What is this?
[04:41] wait
    An old custom in this village.
[04:44] wait
    It comes from an old story...
[04:46] wait
    Before the village sprang up,
[04:49] wait
    a group of travelers gathered
    in the extinct caldera.
[04:53] wait
    One of them sold wine.
[04:56] wait
    He shared his wares with the
    others, and they had a banquet.
[05:01] wait
    In the days that followed, mysteriously,
[05:03] ---
    every traveler in attendance managed
    to safely cross the desert.
[05:08] wait
    Ever since, it's been a custom
    for travelers to share drinks,
[05:12] ---
    to pray for a safe desert crossing.
[05:15] wait
    Those dangerous tornadoes,
[05:17] ---
    called Dragon Twisters, are common
    in these parts, after all.
[05:21] dad
    I see.
[05:23] wait
    That's a wine made from canestalk,
    the village's specialty.
[05:27] dad
    Canestalk?
[05:29] dad
    That is a source of sugar, is it not?
[05:32] som
    You mean it's sweet?!
[05:34] dad
    You are not old enough for alcohol.
[05:36] som
    Mean!
[05:38] wait
    We also make canestalk ice
    cream for the young ones.
[05:41] som
    Ice cream?
[05:45] dad
    If we must.
[05:46] dad
    In that case—
[05:47] uzo
    Could I have an order of
    that canestalk ice cream?
[05:54] uzo
    What?
[05:55] som
    Are you copying me?
[05:57] uzo
    Certainly not.
[05:59] wait
    Well, I'm sorry to say,
[06:01] wait
    but we only have one serving left...
[06:03] som
    I want it!
[06:04] som
    You should give it to me!
[06:05] uzo
    Hey!
[06:07] uzo
    Why do you get it and I don't?!
[06:08] som
    I got dibs!
[06:11] uzo
    Have a little respect for your elders!
[06:13] uzo
    You little runt!
[06:14] som
    I'm not a runt!
[06:15] som
    And you're not being mature at all!
[06:17] uzo
    Show some respect already!
[06:17] dad
    Somali. Watch your volume inside—
[06:17] som
    It's mine!
[06:20] uzo
    You've got a big mouth for such a little ki—
[06:25] uzo
    You...
[06:27] hai
    What are you doing, Uzoi?
[06:29] uzo
    Haitora...
[06:35] hai
    I apologize for my companion.
[06:40] hai
    That's quite a story.
[06:42] hai
    It sounds very difficult.
[06:45] dad
    Yes. We have faced much hardship.
[06:47] hai
    If it's going to be a long journey,
[06:48] hai
    a wagon is definitely the way to go.
[06:52] som
    It's good, huh?
[06:56] uzo
    You can have mine.
[06:59] som
    Really?!
[07:00] dad
    You have my gratitude.
[07:01] uzo
    It's nothing.
[07:03] uzo
    I just wasn't in the mood anymore.
[07:06] dad
    Are you traveling companions?
[07:09] uzo
    Yes, we are.
[07:10] uzo
    We're in a wagon.
[07:12] hai
    We're traveling in search of medicine.
[07:15] hai
    I'm in rather poor health...
[07:18] hai
    so I'm seeking a cure.
[07:20] hai
    And she's chosen to support
    me in my time of need...
[07:24] uzo
    Well, you wouldn't be safe on your own.
[07:27] uzo
    But he's not my dad or anything.
[07:30] uzo
    I'm a member of the proud harpy clan.
[07:33] uzo
    Haitora is a falcohol.
[07:35] uzo
    They've got bird heads.
[07:37] uzo
    Though I guess Haitora's also
    kind of like my guardian...
[07:41] dad
    I see.
[07:43] uzo
    What are you traveling to find?
[07:46] uzo
    You're a bit of an odd pair yourselves.
[07:49] dad
    We are traveling in search of humans.
[07:54] hai
    Humans?
[07:55] uzo
    Why would you be searching for humans?
[07:58] dad
    I study humans for research purposes.
[08:04] som
    All done! That was great!
[08:07] som
    You're a nice lady, Uzoi.
[08:12] uzo
    Hey, Somali.
[08:14] uzo
    Why don't you come with us across the desert?
[08:17] hai
    Uzoi?
[08:18] uzo
    I mean, why not?
[08:19] uzo
    We've got so much to haul around, and all
     the loading and unloading is exhausting.
[08:24] uzo
    It'd be great to have the extra hands!
[08:27] dad
    Is that your motivation?
[08:29] uzo
    Got me, huh?
[08:31] uzo
    Though, it's not a bad trade-off for
    free passage on a wagon, am I right?
[08:36] dad
    But...
[08:37] som
    Let's go in Uzoi's wagon, Dad!
[08:41] dad
    You truly don't mind?
[08:43] hai
    N-No... I don't.
[08:47] dad
    I see.
[08:48] dad
    We accept your offer, then.
[08:52] uzo
    Leave everything to me!
[08:57] som
    I can't wait to see Uzoi's wagon, Dad!
[09:01] dad
    I see.
[09:13] hai
    Uzoi, what are you after here?
[09:17] hai
    There was more to that offer than kindness.
[09:21] uzo
    That's right.
[09:23] uzo
    That girl... She smells like you, Haitora.
[09:27] hai
    You can't mean...
[09:29] uzo
    Yes.
[09:39] uzo
    That girl is human.
[09:43] uzo
    Just like you.
[09:45] hai
    What would a human be doing with a golem?
[09:50] uzo
    I don't care about that.
[09:54] uzo
    But I had an idea.
[09:58] hai
    An idea?
[10:02] uzo
    Once we have them out in the desert...
[10:11] hai
    Y-You can't!
[10:13] hai
    What would be the point of—
[10:22] uzo
    Haitora...
[10:24] uzo
    We're running out of time.
[10:34] uzo
    So... please.
[10:52] dad
    This is the last of it.
[10:53] hai
    Thank you.
[10:58] som
    Whatcha doin'?
[11:04] uzo
    I'm changing to sand paddle wheels.
[11:07] uzo
    We need them on the route
    we're about to take
[11:10] uzo
    so we don't sink into the sand.
[11:11] som
    I see, I see!
[11:13] som
    That's very amazing!
[11:18] som
    Say!
[11:19] uzo
    Wh-What?
[11:21] som
    Why are deserts always full of sand?
[11:23] uzo
    You're silly.
[11:24] uzo
    Being full of sand is what
     makes them deserts.
[11:27] uzo
    Everyone knows that!
[11:28] som
    Oh!
[11:29] som
    Then why doesn't water—
[11:31] som
    You're so annoying!
[11:36] dad
    What is it?
[11:38] dad
    Is something the matter, Haitora?
[11:40] hai
    No... Nothing.
[11:44] dad
    I see.
[11:45] dad
    Somali, our preparations are complete.
[11:49] dad
    We may depart.
[11:50] som
    Sure!
[11:51] som
    But I left something in my room!
[11:54] dad
    I see. We must retrieve it, then.
[11:57] dad
    In the future, see that you
    check your room before we leave.
[12:04] hai
    Uzoi...
[12:07] uzo
    Let's get on for now.
[12:24] som
    It's hot, but I'm not hot!
[12:26] som
    The wind is so nice!
[12:28] uzo
    We designed it for good ventilation.
[12:32] som
    Your wagon is the best!
[12:35] dad
    Somali, move to the center
    of the cart, where it is safe.
[12:37] som
    I'm safe here! And I can't
    see outside from there!
[12:44] som
    Hey, Uzoi! What are those things?
[12:48] uzo
    Cactus thorns.
[12:50] uzo
    They're tough on the outside, but once
    they blossom, you can eat them.
[12:53] som
    Do they taste good?
[12:55] uzo
    Well...
[12:56] uzo
    If you cook them right, they can be quite—
[12:59] som
    Uzoi! What's that?
[13:00] uzo
    You rude little thing.
[13:02] uzo
    At least wait until I finish—
[13:11] dad
    A sandstorm?
[13:13] hai
    Be careful, everyone.
[13:16] dad
    The air currents have grown unpredictable.
[13:19] dad
    It is more like a sea during
    a storm than a desert.
[13:22] som
    It's shaking so much...
[13:23] hai
    Hold on tight, or you might fall out!
[13:30] dad
    Somali.
[13:33] uzo
    Don't fall out right after he says it!
[13:36] uzo
    We need you alive, okay?
[13:41] uzo
    Wh-What?
[13:44] som
    You like me a lot, I guess!
[13:47] uzo
    Wha—
[13:48] uzo
    That's not what I...
[13:51] dad
    Hmm? Something is approaching.
[13:59] uzo
    A savage fish of the Osuna Desert.
[14:02] uzo
    A sandshark!
[14:18] hai
    It may yet return.
[14:20] hai
    We should hurry away from here.
[14:23] som
    So... So cool!
[14:27] uzo
    Of course he is.
[14:28] uzo
    Haitora is very cool!
[14:31] som
    My dad is cool, too!
[14:34] uzo
    He's not as cool as Haitora!
[14:35] som
    He totally is!
[14:37] uzo
    He's totally not!
[14:38] dad
    I suggest that you both cease this argument.
[15:39] dad
    The temperature has dropped considerably.
[15:42] hai
    Uzoi.
[15:42] uzo
    On it.
[15:44] som
    What's that?
[15:46] uzo
    It's a crystal-finder.
[15:48] uzo
    It contains what's called a caller stone,
    a crystal found in desert caves.
[15:53] uzo
    You hear that sound it's making?
[16:00] som
    I do!
[16:01] uzo
    That's it resonating with
    others of its kind nearby.
[16:06] dad
    So the louder the resonance,
    the closer we are to a cave.
[16:11] uzo
    Yes.
[16:13] uzo
    That cave is where we'll spend the night.
[16:25] som
    What a pretty sound...
[16:30] uzo
    I find it annoyingly loud, myself...
[16:33] dad
    I understand those of the harpy
    clan have heightened senses.
[16:36] uzo
    Pretty much.
[16:38] uzo
    Hearing everything can get annoying.
[16:41] hai
    Uzoi.
[16:42] hai
    Mr. Golem and I will pitch the tent.
[16:44] hai
    You go secure our light sources.
[16:46] uzo
    Sure thing.
[16:47] uzo
    You've got nothing better
    to do, so come help me.
[16:49] som
    Sure!
[16:54] som
    Hey, why cages?
[16:57] uzo
    You ask a lot of questions, don't you?
[17:00] uzo
    You'll find out when we get there.
[17:06] uzo
    This looks like a glowing
    rock, but it's a torchfly.
[17:10] uzo
    They make perfect light sources,
    so we'll borrow them for the night.
[17:14] som
    I'm gonna grab one, too!
[17:19] uzo
    Pick one from a lower spot, you runt.
[17:23] uzo
    See? There's one hiding
    under that dark rock there.
[17:32] som
    There was!
[17:34] som
    You're so smart, Uzoi!
[17:36] uzo
    Haitora taught me.
[17:39] uzo
    Treacherous mountains, thick
    forests, freezing snowfields...
[17:44] uzo
    We've traveled all kinds of places together.
[17:47] som
    I've been to all kinds of
    places with my dad, too!
[17:51] uzo
    Hey...
[17:54] uzo
    Just what is your relationship to that golem?
[17:57] uzo
    He can't be your real father, right?
[17:59] som
    "Real"?
[18:01] som
    My dad is my dad!
[18:06] uzo
    I see...
[18:07] som
    Who's your dad, Uzoi?
[18:10] uzo
    I don't have a father.
[18:11] uzo
    The women raise the children
    in the harpy clan,
[18:14] uzo
    so I only ever knew my mother.
[18:16] som
    I see!
[18:17] som
    So where's your mom?
[18:20] uzo
    Haitora said that she died of an illness.
[18:23] som
    Oh... sorry.
[18:25] uzo
    It's all right.
[18:27] uzo
    It happened when I was a kid,
    so I don't remember it well.
[18:33] uzo
    Haitora's always been there
    to keep me from feeling alone.
[18:39] uzo
    I love Haitora.
[18:43] uzo
    So I'm not lonely at all.
[18:45] som
    You're just like me!
[18:48] uzo
    How so?
[18:50] som
    You love Haitora, and I love my dad!
[18:55] som
    So we're the same!
[18:58] uzo
    C'mon, stop talking and start working!
[19:02] som
    But you were talking, too!
[19:04] uzo
    Never stop working!
[19:05] uzo
    There's a torchfly right there!
[19:08] som
    Got you!
[19:15] uzo
    Yes...
[19:17] uzo
    To save Haitora... I...
[19:26] dad
    Haitora, I have heard rumors that humans
[19:30] dad
    were seen in the western Osuna Desert.
[19:33] dad
    Have you heard the same thing?
[19:35] hai
    I'm afraid not. I'm sorry.
[19:39] dad
    I see.
[19:40] hai
    Er...
[19:41] hai
    Why are you searching for humans?
    Why do you study them?
[19:46] hai
    Is there... I mean...
[19:48] hai
    Does it have something to do with Somali?
[19:52] dad
    It is difficult to explain.
[19:55] hai
    I see...
[19:56] som
    We're back!
[19:58] dad
    You are.
[19:59] som
    We brought a whole bunch!
[20:03] dad
    Well done.
[20:06] hai
    Uzoi.
[20:07] uzo
    There's nothing to worry about.
[20:09] uzo
    You should rest for now.
[20:11] hai
    But...
[20:16] som
    Hey, Dad! Is there any other way I can help?
[20:20] dad
    Is there?
[20:22] uzo
    You can help me fetch water.
[20:24] uzo
    There should be a spring back this way.
[20:26] uzo
    Let's go!
[20:27] som
    Okay!
[20:30] dad
    Exercise caution at the water's edge.
[20:32] som
    You got it!
[20:37] hai
    Uzoi...
[20:40] dad
    What is it?
[20:41] dad
    Are you ailing?
[20:54] som
    That's weird, Uzoi.
[20:56] som
    This isn't the way we came from.
[21:03] dad
    If you are feeling unwell—
[21:05] hai
    Mr. Golem.
[21:07] hai
    I'll come right to the point.
[21:09] hai
    Somali...
[21:16] hai
    She's human, isn't she?
[21:19] som
    Wh-What are you doing, Uzoi?
[21:21] som
    You scared me...
[21:24] dad
    How did you know that?
[21:25] hai
    Please, listen to me.
[21:27] hai
    I'm...
[21:30] hai
    I'm human, too!
[21:33] dad
    Human?
[21:35] hai
    We're traveling... to cure my condition.
[21:40] hai
    Please! Help me...
[21:43] hai
    Help me stop Uzoi!
[21:45] som
    U-Uzoi...
[21:47] som
    That hurts a little.
[21:49] som
    Please stop.
[21:51] uzo
    Your blood might save Haitora.
[21:56] uzo
    That is why...
[21:57] uzo
    I am going
[22:01] uzo
    to kill you!
