**[01:12] Young Vash**
Good morning, Jeff.
**[01:14] Young Vash**
Good morning, Arthur.
**[01:16] Young Vash**
Good morning, Kate.
**[01:18] Young Vash**
Good morning, everyone.
**[01:26] Rem**
*Vash, come back immediately!*
**[01:35] AI**
*This is a Level E-3 emergency.*
**[01:38] AI**
*Formation maintenance program:
phase 5 recalculating.*
**[01:43] AI**
*This ship is in free fall.*
**[01:45] AI**
*Please evacuate as quickly as possible.*
**[01:48] AI**
*Once again, please evacuate
as quickly as possible.*
**[01:49] Young Vash**
She's not here!
**[01:55] Rem**
Vash!
**[01:58] Young Vash**
Nai! Rem!
**[02:02] Young Vash**
What's going on?!
Why is the ship in free fall?!
**[02:04] Rem**
Everything's fine.
The ship's AI is just exaggerating.
**[02:08] Rem**
Now follow me, you two.
**[02:21] Rem**
Get inside. And hurry.
**[02:23] Young Vash**
What about everyone still sleeping?
**[02:24] Young Vash**
They'll be able to escape, right?
**[02:26] Rem**
Of course they will.
**[02:27] Rem**
Now get ready.
**[02:32] Young Knives**
You come too, Rem.
**[02:39] Rem**
I love you both.
**[02:42] Young Vash**
Rem?
**[02:44] Rem**
Vash, Nai... I want you two to survive.
**[02:49] Rem**
Meeting you...
**[02:53] Rem**
...has brought me so much joy!
**[02:59] Young Vash**
R-Rem!
**[03:27] Young Vash**
REM!
**[04:10] Radio Host**
*The time is now 10:00 AM
on the morning of May 25th.*
**[04:14] Radio Host**
*This is November Public
Broadcasting's satellite news,*
**[04:18] Radio Host**
*where we bring you the
latest news from all regions.*
**[04:21] Radio Host**
*The JuLai government has announced
a new Most Wanted fugitive.*
**[04:22] Roberto**
JuLai doesn't do that often.
**[04:25] Roberto**
Man, what a waste.
**[04:26] Radio Host**
*He is considered a person of interest
in a series of mass murders.*
**[04:27] Roberto**
You tryin' to die young, newbie?
**[04:30] Meryl**
You shouldn't be drinking while
we're working anyway, Roberto.
**[04:32] Radio Host**
*Any cities with information
are asked to reach out.*
**[04:35] Meryl**
Moreover...
**[04:37] Meryl**
My name is *not* "newbie."
**[04:40] Roberto**
Thanks for the update.
**[04:45] Roberto**
Graduated from November University, huh?
**[04:47] Roberto**
Pretty elite.
**[04:49] Meryl**
Becoming a reporter was my dream.
**[04:51] Roberto**
Not much of a dream.
**[04:53] Meryl**
Someday I'll be on the news desk—
**[04:56] Roberto**
Wow, I didn't know we had a rising
star on this little gossip piece.
**[05:03] Roberto**
This is why I didn't want
to babysit a newbie.
**[05:08] Meryl**
We're on the job.
**[05:10] Meryl**
Also, please refer to me by my name.
**[05:13] Meryl**
I'm Meryl Stryfe.
**[05:16] Roberto**
That so?
**[05:19] Roberto**
Well, let me tell you something, newbie.
**[05:23] Roberto**
This scorching planet, Noman's Land,
**[05:27] Roberto**
is cruel beyond belief.
**[05:29] Roberto**
It's a dog-eat-dog world.
**[05:37] Roberto**
You'll find out soon enough.
**[05:39] Roberto**
You've got a lot to learn about doing
what it takes to survive, young lady.
**[05:44] Meryl**
Are you done mocking me?
**[05:47] Roberto**
You're spilling my booze!
**[05:48] Meryl**
Just you wait until I get my big scoop...
**[05:50] Roberto**
Right, sure.
**[05:52] Meryl**
I'll be running the news bureau!
**[05:54] Roberto**
Calm down, would you?
**[05:57] Meryl**
Are you listening?
**[05:59] Roberto**
Yeah, yeah.
**[06:05] Meryl**
I forgot to charge the battery...
**[06:09] Roberto**
You'll be toast before you know it.
**[06:18] Meryl**
I'm thirsty...
**[06:20] Meryl**
Does that "Humanoid Typhoon"
or whatever even exist?
**[06:26] Roberto**
You've seriously never heard of him?
**[06:30] Roberto**
If you meet him, you're done for.
**[06:32] Roberto**
He's a walking disaster.
**[06:35] Roberto**
That's how he got that nickname...
**[06:37] Meryl**
The Humanoid Typhoon.
**[06:41] Meryl**
Real people aren't monsters like that.
There's no way.
**[06:45] Meryl**
But I won't give up, no matter how
unreasonable the assignment!
**[06:49] Roberto**
Sure.
**[06:49] Meryl**
No matter how long it takes,
I'll get my scoop—
**[06:54] Meryl**
Roberto!
**[06:55] Roberto**
That'd be the aftermath.
**[07:00] Roberto**
Looks like the work of the Bad Lads Gang.
**[07:04] Roberto**
They really did a number on this corpse.
**[07:19] Vash**
There it goes.
**[07:33] Meryl**
Creepy...
**[07:34] Roberto**
I agree. Let's go.
**[07:35] Vash**
Hey, hold on!
**[07:37] Meryl**
But...
**[07:38] Meryl**
We can't just leave him hanging here.
**[07:41] Roberto**
Hey...
**[07:42] Vash**
Thank you.
**[07:48] Roberto**
Are you a gunman?
**[07:50] Vash**
Yeah, I guess...
But I'm not much of a fighter.
**[07:55] Meryl**
A gunman who's not a fighter?
**[07:57] Roberto**
Lost technology, eh?
**[08:04] Roberto**
I recognize those uniforms.
**[08:07] Roberto**
What are the JuLai military police
doing all the way out here?
**[08:10] Meryl**
Military police?
**[08:11] Meryl**
They can help us!
**[08:12] Roberto**
Hey!
**[08:13] Meryl**
Over here!
**[08:16] Captain**
Good, a person.
**[08:19] Captain**
Have you seen this man around here?
**[08:25] Captain**
Well? Have you, young lady?
**[08:28] Roberto**
What has this man done?
**[08:30] Captain**
Reporters, eh?
**[08:31] Captain**
You must have heard of him, then.
**[08:33] Captain**
They call him the Humanoid Typhoon.
**[08:36] Captain**
He's killed folks all over,
and he's running around destroying plants.
**[08:39] Captain**
He's a vicious criminal with a
$$6,000,000 bounty on his head.
**[08:43] Captain**
So, have you seen him or not?
**[08:48] Meryl**
I saw him!
**[08:49] Meryl**
Over there!
**[08:50] Meryl**
He went that way!
**[08:51] Captain**
You should have said so sooner, fool!
**[08:57] Vash**
Thank you!
**[09:00] Meryl**
I'll turn you over to the military police
*after* I get an exclusive interview!
**[09:04] Roberto**
Well done, newbie.
**[09:06] Meryl**
My name's Meryl Stryfe.
**[09:07] Meryl**
And besides, if he's been falsely accused,
**[09:10] Meryl**
it's our job as reporters to clear his name.
**[09:13] Vash**
Running into such nice folks...
I can't believe my luck!
**[09:16] Vash**
What a blessing!
**[09:18] Meryl**
Oh, don't go flattering me.
**[09:21] Roberto**
There's something sketchy about him.
**[09:23] Vash**
Why don't we do the exclusive interview
at the diner instead of out here?
**[09:28] Meryl**
What?
**[09:29] Vash**
Huh?
**[09:30] Meryl**
There's a diner?
**[09:31] Vash**
Yeah?
**[09:31] Meryl**
Wh-Why didn't you say so earlier?!
**[09:34] Meryl**
Is it this way?
**[09:35] Vash**
W-W-W-W-Wait! Not that way!
**[09:37] Meryl**
So is it this way?
**[09:39] Vash**
Er, no...
**[09:40] Meryl**
Then it has to be this way!
**[09:42] Vash**
No, not exactly...
**[09:42] Roberto**
The Humanoid Typhoon, huh?
**[09:43] Meryl**
Is there really a diner?
**[09:45] Roberto**
Vash the Stampede.
**[09:46] Vash**
Yes...
**[09:47] Meryl**
Then tell me where it is!
**[09:49] Roberto**
Just who is he?
**[09:51] Meryl**
Damn it!
**[10:01] Meryl**
Water...
**[10:07] Meryl**
The western city of Jeneora Rock.
**[10:28] Lady 1**
Oh my.
**[10:31] Guy 1**
This ain't a place for kids, little miss!
**[10:36] Meryl**
Water, please.
**[10:37] Rosa**
I can't hear you if you don't speak up.
**[10:40] Vash**
I figured she'd be here!
**[10:43] Roberto**
This newbie's more trouble than most.
**[10:46] Rosa**
Vash!
**[10:49] Vash**
Got a second on the way, Rosa?
**[10:51] Rosa**
Looks like it.
**[10:52] Vash**
Where's the hubby?
**[10:52] Rosa**
I kicked his lazy ass out.
**[10:54] Vash**
You never change.
**[10:55] Meryl**
You two seem pretty close...
**[10:58] Rosa**
He saved the whole town
of Jeneora Rock, after all.
**[11:01] Meryl**
He did?
**[11:02] Rosa**
And just who are you, exactly?
**[11:04] Rosa**
What are you planning to do with Vash?
**[11:06] Rosa**
Depending on your answer,
things might get bloody.
**[11:08] Vash**
They're both friends of mine!
**[11:11] Rosa**
Then what's with the rope around you?
**[11:13] Vash**
What rope?
**[11:15] Rosa**
Fine.
**[11:17] Rosa**
You must have a good reason
for being with them.
**[11:20] Rosa**
What'll it be for the lot of you?
**[11:23] Roberto**
I'll have a whiskey.
**[11:24] Meryl**
We're on the job.
**[11:25] Meryl**
Three waters, please.
**[11:26] Roberto**
Graduates are so uptight.
**[11:29] Meryl**
I'll have you know that's what got me
good grades at November University...
**[11:35] Roberto**
Newbie...
**[11:43] Rosa**
Sorry it's dirty.
**[11:45] Rosa**
Our water-producing plant broke down,
**[11:47] Rosa**
so we've been buying it from another town.
**[11:50] Rosa**
No one will have clean water for a while.
**[11:53] Meryl**
Your plant?
**[11:54] Rosa**
But since you three came around,
maybe things are looking up for us.
**[11:59] Rosa**
Would you take another look at it, Vash?
**[12:05] Roberto**
Wouldn't have pegged you
as a plant engineer.
**[12:09] Vash**
I know, right?
**[12:21] Rosa**
It broke down a few years ago as well.
**[12:25] Rosa**
Vash fixed it, free of charge.
**[12:27] Roberto**
So that's how he saved the town.
**[12:31] Roberto**
You know what plants are, I trust, newbie.
**[12:35] Meryl**
Of course I do!
**[12:37] Meryl**
They're biological generators
**[12:39] Meryl**
that produce everything humanity needs
to survive on this desert planet.
**[12:43] Meryl**
Part of the technology lost
after the Spacefaring Age.
**[12:46] Roberto**
A textbook answer from Miss Good Grades.
**[12:50] Roberto**
We can't build them anymore.
**[12:54] Roberto**
If you want one, you have
to pay a premium or steal it.
**[12:59] Roberto**
Hence why every town
keeps tight control of theirs.
**[13:04] Meryl**
That one's red...
**[13:06] Vash**
A red plant...
**[13:10] Rosa**
Is that bad?
**[13:12] Vash**
It's dying.
**[13:13] Rosa**
What?
**[13:14] Vash**
Buying a new one would cost a fortune.
**[13:19] Vash**
But if we do nothing,
something even worse will happen.
**[13:24] Captain**
So you need a ton of money, do you?
**[13:28] Captain**
We've tracked you down, Humanoid Typhoon!
**[13:31] Rosa**
The JuLai military police?
**[13:33] Captain**
Haven't you heard about the huge
bounty on that man's head?
**[13:39] Rosa**
Six million...?
**[13:42] Captain**
Funnily enough, that's just
about the cost of a new plant.
**[13:47] Captain**
If you turn him in,
it'll solve this town's problems.
**[13:51] Vash**
I'd really prefer not to fight...
**[13:53] Captain**
Then come along quietly!
**[13:57] Captain**
Tie him up!
**[14:08] Meryl**
This is awful...
**[14:10] Captain**
No one's gonna save you!
**[14:12] Captain**
Six million is worth more
to them than your life!
**[14:16] Vash**
Ow... Maybe we could
settle this peacefully?
**[14:20] Captain**
Okay, let's take him back to JuLai.
**[14:22] Police 2**
What an easy job.
**[14:24] Police 3**
On your feet!
**[14:26] Roberto**
Hey, hey, hey now!
You sure about this?
**[14:31] Meryl**
Roberto?
**[14:32] Roberto**
This is gonna make a great article.
**[14:35] Captain**
You're the reporter from the desert.
**[14:37] Roberto**
How about this for a headline?
**[14:39] Roberto**
"JuLai Military Police Show Their Weakness,
**[14:42] Roberto**
Cowardly Drawing Guns on Unarmed Suspect!"
**[14:47] Meryl**
What? Oh... Right!
**[14:49] Roberto**
If you're a real man,
you'll settle this with a duel.
**[14:54] Vash**
A duel?!
**[14:54] Meryl**
Great idea!
**[14:55] Roberto**
Otherwise you'll be known as a
coward for the rest of your days.
**[15:02] Captain**
Enough!
**[15:03] Meryl**
It was a joke! We were just kidding!
**[15:05] Captain**
You're on.
**[15:07] Police 2**
Captain!
**[15:08] Police 3**
Are you serious?
**[15:10] Police 3**
A duel?
**[15:13] Vash**
Um...
**[15:14] Townsperson 1**
It's a duel!
**[15:16] Townsperson 2**
I've got 5,000 on Vash!
**[15:17] Townsperson 3**
I'm putting 10,000 on the JuLai guy!
**[15:19] Townsperson 4**
This will be a quick-draw duel!
The last man standing wins!
**[15:24] Meryl**
Roberto, I'm not sure a duel
was the best idea...
**[15:29] Meryl**
I mean, he seems *really* bad at this.
**[15:33] Roberto**
You don't win a duel by drawing first.
**[15:37] Meryl**
Huh?
**[15:37] Roberto**
If you shoot too early or too slow, you lose.
**[15:41] Roberto**
Just watch.
**[15:43] Roberto**
He might not be as bad as you think.
**[15:57] Captain**
Draw.
**[16:01] Captain**
Draw!
**[16:02] Vash**
No.
**[16:03] Captain**
Draw! This is a duel!
**[16:07] Vash**
I said no.
**[16:12] Vash**
This is stupid.
**[16:20] Captain**
I suppose you're right.
**[16:22] Captain**
It *is* stupid.
**[16:33] Captain**
A fight should be a show!
**[16:40] Police 2**
Captain!
**[16:42] Police 2**
Firing a cluster bomb
will put us all in danger!
**[16:45] Police 2**
We're supposed to capture
him alive, Captain!
**[16:49] Police 3**
R-Run!
**[16:54] Captain**
I never wanted to duel you
in the first place!
**[16:57] Captain**
Let's enjoy ourselves, Humanoid Typhoon!
**[16:58] Vash**
He's crazy...
**[17:02] Meryl**
That coward!
**[17:05] Roberto**
You've nearly died enough today, newbie.
**[17:08] Roberto**
Remember, we're only reporters.
**[17:11] Roberto**
We're not military police or bodyguards.
**[17:14] Meryl**
But...
**[17:14] Roberto**
You'd do well to remember only the privileged
get to sling around the word "coward."
**[17:22] Roberto**
Got that?
**[17:25] Meryl**
Yes.
**[17:25] Rosa**
Vash, this way! Hurry!
**[17:28] Vash**
Take cover inside!
**[17:31] Meryl**
He's trying to keep everyone
out of harm's way.
**[17:34] Roberto**
Acting brave now is pretty foolish.
**[17:38] Roberto**
He's like you: not long for this world.
**[17:53] Vash**
Huh...? Wait, what? Huh?
**[17:55] Vash**
What...? What? Wh-What?!
**[17:57] Vash**
Huh?! H-H-H-H-Huh?!
**[17:59] Vash**
How the...
**[18:00] Meryl**
Don't tell me...
**[18:02] Vash**
Um, I'm out of bullets.
**[18:05] Meryl**
Unbelievable.
**[18:08] Captain**
What an idiot!
**[18:09] Vash**
Ammo! Please, I need some ammo!
**[18:12] Vash**
Does anyone have .22 caliber bullets?!
**[18:15] Vash**
Someone!
**[18:17] Vash**
Anyone!
**[18:20] Meryl**
Why isn't anyone helping him?
**[18:26] Meryl**
Huh?
**[18:28] Vash**
Please! I need .22 caliber bullets!
**[18:36] Meryl**
I've got one!
**[18:39] Meryl**
This is from Rosa!
**[18:47] Vash**
Huh?
**[18:48] Meryl**
Hey!
**[18:50] Vash**
My bullet!
**[19:04] Vash**
Gotcha!
**[19:06] Roberto**
Just one bullet?
**[19:08] Meryl**
Not my fault.
**[19:09] Vash**
Thank you.
**[19:14] Captain**
I don't think so!
**[19:19] Vash**
That's enough!
**[19:56] Captain**
Y-You'll pay for this!
**[20:01] Meryl**
You sure know how to handle a gun.
**[20:07] Vash**
Gosh, that sure was a surprise!
I wasn't sure one bullet would be enough.
**[20:12] Vash**
I'm one lucky duck.
**[20:19] Roberto**
Who are you afraid of?
**[20:22] Roberto**
Does it have something
to do with that red plant?
**[20:27] Roberto**
You weren't fazed in the least
by the military police.
**[20:32] Roberto**
So tell me... What *does* scare you?
**[20:39] Vash**
I have a brother.
**[20:52] (Flashback) Young Knives**
A brilliant success! I finally did it!
**[20:57] (Flashback) Young Vash**
How could you?
**[20:58] (Flashback) Young Knives**
Don't worry. I made sure
the plant ship would survive.
**[21:02] (Flashback) Young Vash**
But you killed even *Rem*!
**[21:05] (Flashback) Young Knives**
Don't you scold me.
**[21:07] (Flashback) Young Knives**
You're my accomplice.
**[21:18] (Flashback) Young Knives**
Right, Vash?
**[21:43] Vash**
Millions Knives.
**[21:45] Vash**
Have you ever heard that name?
**[21:53] Knives**
So you've found him.
**[21:56] Knives**
Take me there to retrieve him.
**[22:01] Knives**
They're filthy parasites...
**[22:06] Knives**
And this time, I'll completely eliminate them.

Nai! Rem!
**[00:17] (Flashback) Rem**
Get inside. And hurry.
**[00:19] (Flashback) Young Vash**
Rem?
**[00:20] (Flashback) Rem**
Meeting you...
**[00:22] (Flashback) Rem**
...has brought me so much joy!
**[00:24] (Flashback) Young Vash**
Rem!
**[00:28] (Flashback) Young Vash**
REM!
**[00:44] (Flashback) Young Naives**
A brilliant success! I finally did it!
**[00:53] (Flashback) Young Naives**
You're my accomplice...
**[00:57] (Flashback) Young Naives**
Vash.

*Late last night, two dangerous criminals
escaped the May City Prison!*
**[03:02] Radio Host**
*These criminals, known as the Nebraskas,
were convicted of 69 counts of manslaughter*
**[03:08] Radio Host**
*and twelve counts of attempted murder.*
**[03:12] Bargoer 2-A**
That's nearby!
**[03:14] Bargoer 2-B**
How disturbing.
**[03:15] Meryl**
So what you're saying is that...
**[03:18] Meryl**
you're *not* the person running around
stealing plants all over the planet.
**[03:23] Meryl**
And the real culprit is your twin brother
who looks exactly like you.
**[03:30] Roberto**
A different man with the same face, huh?
**[03:34] Roberto**
Sounds a bit too convenient.
**[03:36] Meryl**
There's no proof, either.
**[03:38] Roberto**
In other words, we can't just
take you at your word.
**[03:45] Meryl**
You can't cry your way out of this.
**[03:48] Roberto**
So, this brother... "Knives" was it?
**[03:51] Roberto**
What does he want with the plants anyway?
**[03:54] Meryl**
Is it about money? Or maybe honor?
**[03:57] Roberto**
Could it be revenge?
**[04:05] Roberto**
What's up, kiddo?
**[04:07] Vash**
Are those for me?
**[04:11] Vash**
Thanks, Tonis. I'll take good care of them.
**[04:15] Meryl**
Oh, what a heartwarming scene...
**[04:17] Roberto**
Like you're even looking.
**[04:19] Meryl**
Is he gone?
**[04:20] Roberto**
Not yet.
**[04:21] Rosa**
Tonis!
**[04:22] Rosa**
How many times do I have to tell you
not to bring Worms into the diner?!
**[04:27] Rosa**
You stay outta here for a while!
**[04:29] Meryl**
You didn't have to go that far.
**[04:32] Rosa**
Now then...
**[04:40] Rosa**
Real sorry about this, Vash.
***SIGN*** #02 The Running Man
**[04:59] Rosa**
Don't let him get away!
**[05:06] Townsperson 2-A**
This way!
**[05:08] Townsperson 2-B**
He's here!
**[05:19] Townsperson 2-C**
Over here!
**[05:27] Vash**
Oh dear.
**[05:28] Townsperson 2-D**
Got him!
**[05:32] Meryl**
Vash!
**[05:35] Meryl**
Now!
**[05:36] Roberto**
Yeah, yeah.
**[05:46] Roberto**
What the hell is going on?
**[05:47] Meryl**
You're heavy...
**[05:48] Vash**
That's what I'd like to know.
**[05:59] Nebraska**
What's wrong with this hunk of junk?!
**[06:02] Soldier 2-A**
All the cars out here are like this.
**[06:05] Nebraska**
For crying out loud! I can't have
my son turning stupid on me!
**[06:08] Soldier 2-A**
If you wanted better stuff,
you should've gone to a big city like JuLai.
**[06:12] Nebraska**
I think I will, thank you very much.
**[06:14] Nebraska**
Right after we catch this loser
and get our six million!
**[06:19] Nebraska**
Seriously, what a dumb face...
**[06:22] Nebraska**
He's got to be an easy catch, Gofsef!
**[06:28] Vash**
Why'd they use *this* photo?
**[06:31] Roberto**
Is that really the issue?
**[06:34] Townsperson 2-E**
So those journalists were part of his gang?
**[06:36] Townsperson 2-F**
Whatever. We'll just catch them all.
**[06:38] Townsperson 2-G**
We can demand a higher bounty for 'em.
**[06:42] Roberto**
Great idea, trying to save this guy.
**[06:45] Meryl**
I'm sorry.
**[06:46] Roberto**
If you could actually put up a fight,
this would be a lot easier.
**[06:49] Vash**
What? You wanna have a shoot-out?
**[06:52] Vash**
Come on...
**[06:53] Meryl**
Don't tell me you forgot
to load up on ammo again.
**[06:56] Vash**
No, I made sure I brought plenty today.
**[06:59] Vash**
But I'd rather not use them.
Bullets are pretty pricey.
**[07:03] Meryl**
You could get locked up!
**[07:05] Vash**
But one bullet is worth
two whole slices of pizza!
**[07:08] Roberto**
We're as good as dead.
**[07:10] Vash**
Hey, hey! Come on!
**[07:12] Vash**
We just have to get out of town, right?
**[07:19] Townsperson 2-H**
I see him!
**[07:21] Townsperson 2-I**
Hey, someone saw him!
**[07:22] Townsperson 2-J**
Found him!
**[07:23] Townsperson 2-K**
Come on!
**[07:27] Townsperson 2-L**
That's a dead end!
**[07:31] Townsperson 2-M**
Damn it, he got us.
**[07:37] Townsperson 2-N**
Find him!
**[07:49] Rosa**
Vash.
**[07:50] Rosa**
Don't make this any harder.
**[07:57] Nebraska**
I'm looking forward to this.
Aren't you, Gofsef?
**[08:04] Soldier 2-A**
Looks like someone already caught him.
**[08:06] Nebraska**
What?!
**[08:09] Nebraska**
Whatever! We'll steal him from them!
**[08:11] Nebraska**
Run them over!
**[08:13] Soldier 2-A**
For real? You promised you'd
let me go before we hit town!
**[08:17] Nebraska**
Shut him up, Gofsef.
**[08:23] Nebraska**
You idiot!
**[08:25] Nebraska**
Now who's going to drive this thing?!
**[08:31] Rosa**
With the plant in this state,
all we have to rely on is money.
**[08:35] Meryl**
How can you be so heartless?!
**[08:37] Meryl**
Who does this to someone who saved
their town twice? It's unthinkable!
**[08:42] Rosa**
I know that.
**[08:45] Rosa**
I wouldn't dare if were just adults here.
**[08:48] Rosa**
But we're mothers.
**[08:51] Rosa**
I won't stand by while
our kids get sick and starve.
**[08:55] Rosa**
Sorry, Vash. If you need to lay the
blame somewhere, call it bad luck.
**[09:10] Rosa**
Tonis!
**[09:24] Roberto**
You good?
**[09:25] Meryl**
Yeah.
**[09:26] Rosa**
Tonis...
**[09:30] Nebraska**
*Power is justice! Power is truth!*
**[09:32] Rosa**
Vash?
**[09:34] Nebraska**
*There's no future for those who can't fight!*
**[09:36] Nebraska**
*Get out here, Vash the Stampede!*
**[09:39] Nebraska**
*We, the Hard Puncher Nebraskas,
challenge you to a duel!*
**[09:44] Nebraska**
*Where are you, Vash the Stampede?!*
**[09:49] Meryl**
Vash?
**[09:51] Nebraska**
Stop! My six million!
**[09:56] Meryl**
Hurry! After them!
**[09:58] Roberto**
Wait... Hey!
**[10:09] Vash**
Go back to town!
**[10:11] Meryl**
What about you?
They're going to mow you down!
**[10:14] Nebraska**
Don't think you can get away!
**[10:33] Nebraska**
Ugh, stop, you bastard!
**[10:35] Nebraska**
I can't have my son turning stupid!
**[10:40] Nebraska**
Do it, Gofsef!
**[10:47] Vash**
Now *that's* a punch.
**[10:50] Nebraska**
*I'll end you!*
**[10:52] Nebraska**
*Get flattened!*
**[10:59] Nebraska**
You piece of junk!
**[11:07] Roberto**
Did their engine stall?
**[11:10] Vash**
Beats me.
**[11:11] Roberto**
Well...
**[11:18] Nebraska**
Stop running and fight us!
**[11:21] Vash**
No thanks. I'm not a fan of pain.
**[11:25] Nebraska**
Have you no pride as a gunman?!
**[11:28] Vash**
Nope. None whatsoever.
**[11:31] Nebraska**
I hate cowards like you!
**[11:35] Nebraska**
This whole planet is fighting for survival!
**[11:37] Nebraska**
Anyone who runs is bound
to die like a sorry loser!
**[11:41] Nebraska**
But you, Stampede! How dare you?!
**[11:50] Vash**
That had to hurt.
**[11:57] Nebraska**
I can't have my son turning stupid!
**[12:01] Vash**
Take it easy!
**[12:03] Nebraska**
You insult me!
**[12:06] Gofsef**
Gofsef.
**[12:08] Nebraska**
This is no laughing matter!
**[12:09] Nebraska**
You're turning into a coward like him.
**[12:12] Nebraska**
You shame the Nebraska name!
**[12:14] Nebraska**
Damn it, damn it!
**[12:17] Nebraska**
Without that cash,
we're going back to prison!
**[12:20] Nebraska**
Oh, I know.
**[12:33] Meryl**
I agree with that man.
**[12:36] Meryl**
You think you're so clever,
running away like this?
**[12:44] Meryl**
How totally lame.
**[12:47] Meryl**
It's not an act of kindness.
You're just running away from pain.
**[12:52] Roberto**
That's enough, newbie.
**[12:55] Meryl**
Fine.
**[12:57] Vash**
You might be right that I'm too timid.
**[13:01] Vash**
But is that such a terrible thing?
**[13:05] Vash**
Is fighting everything head-on so important?
**[13:10] Vash**
Even if it gets someone killed?
**[13:20] Townsperson 2-O**
Don't let them get in! Fire!
**[13:30] Tonis**
Mom!
**[13:37] Nebraska**
How did we miss this?
**[13:39] Nebraska**
There's something *much* more valuable here.
**[13:43] Nebraska**
A real treasure!
**[13:49] Radio Voice**
*Intruders at the factory! We need backup now!*
**[13:52] Radio Voice**
*We need backup—*
**[13:57] Meryl**
Vash?
**[14:00] Roberto**
Get in, newbie!
**[14:01] Meryl**
Okay!
**[14:13] Nebraska**
Power is justice!
**[14:17] Nebraska**
Power is truth!
**[14:23] Nebraska**
There's no future for those who can't fight!
**[14:30] Woman 2-A**
Rosa! We can't shoot or we might hit the plant.
**[14:33] Rosa**
You folks stay here.
**[14:35] Woman 2-A**
Rosa!
**[14:40] Rosa**
You give back that plant!
**[14:57] Nebraska**
Wha?!
**[14:58] Nebraska**
Stampede!
**[15:05] Nebraska**
What are you doing back here, you coward?
**[15:09] Nebraska**
Don't tell me you did all that running to
draw our attention away from the plant.
**[15:15] Nebraska**
Eh, who cares?
Now we can finally fight head-on.
**[15:23] Nebraska**
Gofsef!
**[15:39] Nebraska**
Why won't you draw your gun?!
**[15:42] Nebraska**
Draw!
**[15:44] Nebraska**
What gives?!
**[15:46] Nebraska**
Why won't you shoot?
**[15:48] Vash**
Right back at you!
**[15:50] Nebraska**
A single round for this baby
costs a boatload! I'm saving up!
**[15:54] Nebraska**
Don't make me say that out loud!
**[15:56] Vash**
I guess we've all got problems, huh?
**[15:57] Nebraska**
Shut up!
**[15:58] Nebraska**
I'll show you.
**[16:01] Nebraska**
Gofsef!
**[16:06] Nebraska**
Weapons...
**[16:08] Nebraska**
are made for fighting!
**[16:17] Rosa**
Vash...
**[16:18] Meryl**
Vash!
**[16:24] Nebraska**
Do you get it now?!
**[16:26] Nebraska**
There's no future for those who don't fight!
**[16:29] Vash**
That was close.
**[16:31] Nebraska**
Wha?!
**[16:34] Vash**
Come on, can you back off?
**[16:37] Vash**
I really don't want to fight anyone.
**[16:39] Nebraska**
That's the attitude that pisses me off!
**[16:42] Vash**
If you take the plant,
this town won't make it.
**[16:47] Nebraska**
You remember they're after your head, right?
**[16:50] Nebraska**
They're worse than regular villains
for pretending to befriend you.
**[16:55] Nebraska**
What value is there in trying to save them?
**[16:58] Vash**
There's no reason *not* to help them.
**[17:01] Nebraska**
They tricked you!
**[17:04] Vash**
I don't mind.
**[17:06] Nebraska**
Don't you have any pride?
**[17:09] Vash**
These people were kind to me.
**[17:13] Vash**
So I want to save them. That's all.
**[17:20] Nebraska**
In that case...
**[17:24] Nebraska**
Fight!
**[17:42] Nebraska**
Seriously?
**[17:46] Vash**
I want to help.
**[17:48] Vash**
That includes you.
**[17:50] Roberto**
This guy...
**[17:53] Roberto**
Whose side are you on?
**[18:03] Nebraska**
Oh no! Run, Gofsef!
**[18:11] Nebraska**
Gofsef!
**[18:16] Nebraska**
You idiot!
**[18:19] Gofsef**
Gof...sef...
**[18:28] Vash**
You're almost there!
**[18:32] Gofsef**
Gof!
**[18:34] Nebraska**
Gofsef!
**[18:48] Vash**
I've... got you!
**[18:51] Nebraska**
Gofsef! Gofsef!
**[18:59] Vash**
Rosa...
**[19:05] Nebraska**
H-He's my darling son...
**[19:11] Vash**
Rosa!
**[19:12] Vash**
Please! I need your help!
**[19:17] Rosa**
You give back that plant.
**[19:20] Nebraska**
Yes, ma'am.
**[19:23] Rosa**
Come on, everyone!
**[19:26] Rosa**
One, two! One, two!
**[19:31] Rosa**
One, two! One, two!
**[19:37] Rosa**
One, two!
**[19:39] Nebraska**
Gofsef!
**[19:42] Nebraska**
I'm so glad! I'm so, so glad!
**[19:47] Nebraska**
Gofsef!
**[19:59] Meryl**
Vash the Stampede...
**[20:02] Meryl**
What a weirdo.
**[20:07] Nebraska**
Let's go, Gofsef.
**[20:11] Vash**
Take it easy.
**[20:14] Rosa**
Hold it.
**[20:17] Rosa**
There's plenty of booze to go around.
**[20:19] Rosa**
Just for today, knock yourselves out!
**[20:25] Nebraska**
Drinking at this hour?
These folks really are terrible.
**[20:29] Rosa**
Don't be shy.
**[20:32] Nebraska**
I don't drink.
**[20:33] Rosa**
What?
**[20:47] Meryl**
You know what?
**[20:48] Meryl**
You gotta lay off the booze and smokes
or that stuff's gonna get to you!
**[20:55] Meryl**
Hey, are you listenin' to me?
**[21:15] Roberto**
Not even a goodbye?
**[21:18] Roberto**
They'll miss you.
**[21:20] Vash**
I don't like overstaying.
**[21:23] Roberto**
No, that's not it.
**[21:24] Roberto**
You couldn't stay in one place for long
even if you wanted to.
**[21:31] Roberto**
Just who are you running from?
**[21:34] Roberto**
Wait... You told me his name this morning.
**[21:38] Roberto**
Millions Knives.
**[21:48] Meryl**
Vash! Roberto!
**[21:49] Roberto**
What's going on?
**[21:51] Nebraska**
What is this stuff?!
**[21:55] Roberto**
Lost technology?!
**[22:05] Nebraska**
Gofsef!

*And now, the weather for the seven cities.*
**[00:04] Radio Host**
*Strong air currents have
enlarged the large sandstorm*
**[00:08] Radio Host**
*that formed in the center of the continent.*
**[00:12] Radio Host**
*It's expected to reach the west soon.*
**[00:19] Radio Host**
*Residents in the area are advised to take shelter.*
**[00:19] Vash**
To the main street! Hurry!
**[00:23] Nebraska**
Gofsef! Where are you?!
**[00:25] Vash**
Hurry! This way!
**[00:26] Nebraska**
Gofsef!
**[00:27] Radio Host**
*There is risk of widespread plant disruption
through the late afternoon.*
**[00:28] Soldier 3-A**
What's going on?!
**[00:32] Radio Host**
*Please prepare as best you can!*
**[00:34] Nebraska**
He ran outside to make sure
nobody else got hurt...
**[00:47] Meryl**
There are more of those things!
**[00:48] Rosa**
Meryl!
**[00:49] Roberto**
They're bombs! Be careful! Damn it!
**[00:52] Soldier 3-B**
Bombs?!
**[00:55] Rosa**
Tonis!
**[00:57] Vash**
I'm here to help!
**[01:02] Vash**
Damn! It won't come off!
**[01:03] Roberto**
Don't mess with it!
**[01:04] Roberto**
This design... It's gotta be
the work of E. G. Bomber.
**[01:08] Roberto**
An amateur won't be able to dismantle it.
**[01:13] Soldier 3-B**
Get back!
**[01:16] Soldier 3-B**
Please! Save the town!
**[01:29] Vash**
"E. G. Bomber"?
**[01:31] Roberto**
His real name is Ethan Gilbert Hamilton.
**[01:34] Roberto**
He takes lives so easily that he earned
himself the nickname "Easy Bomber."
**[01:39] Roberto**
Worst bomb maniac ever.
**[01:40] Meryl**
What does he want with this town?
**[01:43] Roberto**
Who knows?
**[01:44] Rosa**
How do we survive?
**[01:46] Roberto**
We'll have to ask the bomber
himself how to disable these.
**[01:48] Roberto**
Assuming there *is* a way.
**[01:51] Vash**
Then I'll find him and capture him.
**[01:53] Vash**
At any rate, don't lose heart.
**[01:56] Rosa**
Vash...
**[01:57] Meryl**
But where is he?
**[01:59] Roberto**
His type likes to watch
their "work" play out.
**[02:04] Vash**
A place with a good view of the area...
**[02:17] Nebraska**
There he is! Get him!
**[02:19] ---**
Hurry!
**[02:26] Nebraska**
Land mines?!
**[02:27] E. G.**
This whole town is full of my creations.
**[02:32] Vash**
E. G. Bomber?
**[02:36] E. G.**
I no longer go by that.
**[02:39] E. G.**
Thanks to someone, I've been reborn.
**[02:56] E. G.**
E. G. the Mine... That's my new name!
**[03:03] E. G.**
Now then, where's the treasure?
**[03:22] OP Lyrics**
*My tears scattered like bits of paper*
**[03:26] OP Lyrics**
*Scared of the unknowable tomorrow*
**[03:29] OP Lyrics**
* I lived the same day over*
* and over, back and forth*
**[03:33] OP Lyrics**
*But a new morning never came*
**[03:37] OP Lyrics**
*All the reasons to calm down*
**[03:39] OP Lyrics**
*Are just some moments until the crash*
**[03:44] OP Lyrics**
*I’m no longer the one that everyone knows*
**[03:47] OP Lyrics**
*Took off the fragile armor*
**[03:51] OP Lyrics**
*I don’t want to lose any more love*
**[03:59] OP Lyrics**
*I don’t want to lose any more love*
**[04:06] OP Lyrics**
* There’s still no line*
* between today and tomorrow*
**[04:09] OP Lyrics**
*My waking nightmare doesn’t end*
**[04:13] OP Lyrics**
*And yet I won’t lose hope*
**[04:17] OP Lyrics**
* And yet there’s no night*
* that doesn’t end*
**[04:23] OP Lyrics**
*Not here, not here*
**[04:38] E. G.**
Now then, where's the treasure?
**[04:49] Vash**
He's after the plant, too!
**[05:10] E. G.**
That must be it.
**[05:23] Meryl**
Vash!
**[05:27] Roberto**
I get it now.
**[05:28] Roberto**
The moment you get involved with him,
you get swept into trouble.
**[05:31] Roberto**
The Humanoid Typhoon's a fitting name.
**[05:35] Meryl**
What do you mean by that?
**[05:37] Roberto**
Whoa there. Stay back.
**[05:40] Roberto**
Unless your idea of a good time
is suicide with a drunk.
**[05:43] Meryl**
This is no time for your
trademark cynicism...
**[05:47] Meryl**
Suicide?
**[05:48] Meryl**
That's it!
**[05:52] Soldier 3-C**
Stay back!
**[05:54] Soldier 3-C**
The town's covered in explosives!
**[05:56] Soldier 3-C**
You there!
***SIGN*** #03 Bright Light, Shine through the Darkness
**[06:19] Rosa**
Don't worry. Vash will take care of it.
**[06:30] E. G.**
So you're here.
**[06:31] Vash**
Disable the bombs.
**[06:37] Vash**
You can't get me with the same old trick!
**[06:54] Vash**
If it's the plant that you want,
then your business here is done!
**[06:57] Vash**
Disable the bombs now!
**[06:59] E. G.**
You don't get it, do you?
**[07:01] E. G.**
I'm not killing to steal...
**[07:03] E. G.**
I'm stealing to kill!
**[07:09] E. G.**
Now suffer!
**[07:16] Vash**
Enough.
**[07:19] E. G.**
Damn!
**[07:28] Meryl**
Vash!
**[07:46] E. G.**
I beat the one and only Vash the Stampede!
**[07:51] Roberto**
E. G. Bomber!
**[07:52] E. G.**
I told you it's *the Mine*!
**[08:00] E. G.**
You! Wh-What the—
**[08:01] Roberto**
Tell us how to disable the bombs! Or else...
**[08:04] Meryl**
We'll all die together!
**[08:06] E. G.**
Damn you!
**[08:07] E. G.**
Get off!
**[08:10] Vash**
Spit it out!
**[08:12] Vash**
Talk!
**[08:17] E. G.**
The red button on my back!
**[08:20] E. G.**
Push it! Push it already!
**[08:34] Townsfolk 3-A**
We're saved! We're saved!
**[08:36] Townsfolk 3-B**
Are you all right? Is anyone injured?
**[08:43] Nebraska**
You killed my son!
**[08:47] Vash**
No, Nebraska.
**[08:49] Nebraska**
Out of my way, Vash!
**[08:50] Nebraska**
You'd protect this scoundrel?!
**[08:52] Vash**
There's no point in revenge.
**[08:54] Nebraska**
Whose side are you on?!
**[09:17] Vash**
Run...
**[09:18] Meryl**
Huh?
**[09:19] Vash**
Everyone, run! Get outside of town!
**[09:24] Nebraska**
You're not getting away!
**[09:27] E. G.**
Whoopsies!
**[09:30] E. G.**
You suck!
**[09:33] Vash**
Hurry! Get outta here!
**[09:35] Roberto**
Let's beat it!
**[09:36] Meryl**
What about the Bomber?
**[09:37] Roberto**
Not now! Run!
**[09:40] Meryl**
Hurry, everyone!
**[09:49] E. G.**
It's him!
**[09:54] E. G.**
You grace me with your presence!
**[10:25] E. G.**
Master... Knives...
**[10:40] Knives**
Have you ever desired
to converse with a god...
**[10:50] Knives**
Vash?
**[10:53] Knives**
It's been so long.
**[10:56] Knives**
I see you still have that gun.
**[10:58] Vash**
Why are you here?
**[11:02] Vash**
Is it the plant?
**[11:03] Knives**
I'm taking it back. It belongs to me.
**[11:06] Knives**
Or rather...
**[11:08] Knives**
It belongs to *us.*
**[11:10] Vash**
I won't let you take it.
**[11:12] Vash**
It's what's keeping the people
of this town alive!
**[11:16] Knives**
You won't let me? Who's side are you on?
**[11:22] Knives**
It must feel so nice.
**[11:24] Knives**
All those flashy moves to save those people,
earning their thanks...
**[11:28] Knives**
A cure for your loneliness.
**[11:31] Vash**
You haven't changed at all!
**[11:37] Knives**
The same...
**[11:41] Knives**
could be said of you.
**[11:55] Knives**
You can't even control your gate yet?
**[11:57] Young Vash**
Nai?
**[12:00] Young Vash**
Nai?!
**[12:02] Knives**
Goodbye, Vash.
**[12:08] Nebraska**
Are you the boss?!
**[12:10] Nebraska**
Take this!
**[12:16] Vash**
Nai?
**[12:18] Vash**
Damn!
**[12:21] Nebraska**
Where'd he go?!
**[12:57] Vash**
Run, Nebraska!
**[13:13] Vash**
Someone, Nebraska needs help!
**[13:15] Vash**
Don't die on me.
**[13:17] Vash**
Stop, Nai!
**[13:19] Vash**
Stop!
**[13:50] Conrad**
There.
**[14:08] Rosa**
You're not taking our plant!
**[14:16] Rosa**
Do you hear me?!
**[14:27] Conrad**
You should step aside.
**[14:29] Conrad**
You have no chance in a fight.
**[14:31] Knives**
Oh, you decided to show up, Doctor.
**[14:35] Knives**
Good timing. Go and recover the other one.
**[14:44] Knives**
I'll handle this.
**[14:47] Rosa**
Not on my watch!
**[15:09] Woman 2-A**
Rosa!
**[15:42] Knives**
Here you are...
**[16:15] Vash**
Nai!
**[16:19] Vash**
Get away from there!
**[16:20] Vash**
Put the plant down!
**[16:26] Knives**
Whose side are you on?
**[16:30] Meryl**
Are you sure it's this way?
**[16:32] Roberto**
Don't lose your step.
I don't want to die in a splat.
**[16:35] Meryl**
Like I said, this is no time for your—
**[16:39] Meryl**
Tonis? What are you doing here?
**[16:41] Tonis**
Mom said to hide...
**[16:44] Meryl**
So she's still in town.
**[16:47] Meryl**
Is that...
**[16:52] Vash**
The plant...
**[16:53] Knives**
You never change.
**[16:56] Knives**
Still a daydreamer full of empty words.
**[16:58] Vash**
Stop!
**[17:01] Knives**
Just stand back and watch.
**[17:03] Knives**
Watch them all perish.
**[17:08] Vash**
I'll say it again... Put the plant down!
**[17:10] Knives**
You'd shoot me?
**[17:14] Knives**
Your own big brother?
**[17:38] Knives**
In the past, God rained fire from the sky,
**[17:43] Knives**
destroying the city of depraved fools.
**[17:47] Vash**
Don't do it...
**[17:49] Knives**
To fix the world once and for all,
**[17:52] Knives**
I'm moving ahead.
**[17:55] Knives**
To bring everything back to even.
**[18:00] Vash**
The whole town?
**[18:02] Vash**
Rosa, run!
**[18:15] Elendira**
Hurry.
**[18:28] Vash**
Hurry!
**[18:48] Vash**
Why, Nai?!
**[19:04] Meryl**
Tonis!
**[19:10] Vash**
Why... Why?!
**[19:13] Vash**
Why, Nai?!
**[19:32] Roberto**
Good job. You're a tough one.
**[19:36] Roberto**
Can't say you're looking good,
but you lucked out.
**[19:39] Roberto**
That, too, is a talent
all good journalists need.
**[19:49] Meryl**
Vash! Rosa!
**[20:04] Meryl**
Tonis...
**[20:06] Rosa**
They took everything.
The plant, the people, the town...
**[20:13] Rosa**
There's no way we can survive now.
**[20:16] Vash**
Rosa...
**[20:18] Rosa**
That monster is your brother, right?
**[20:25] Vash**
I promise I'll get your plant back!
**[20:28] Vash**
No matter how long it takes...
**[20:29] Rosa**
Go away.
**[20:31] Rosa**
Get out of this town right now.
**[20:36] Rosa**
If you hadn't come here,
none of this would have happened.
**[20:41] Rosa**
Don't you ever show your face here again...
**[20:45] Rosa**
Humanoid Typhoon.
**[21:08] Meryl**
Vash!
**[21:12] Meryl**
Vash!
**[21:15] Meryl**
Vash!
**[21:16] Meryl**
Vash!
**[21:36] Meryl**
How?
**[21:38] Meryl**
How, after all they said to you...
**[21:44] Meryl**
How can you smile like that?
**[21:49] Vash**
I don't deserve to cry.
**[21:56] Meryl**
Where are you going?
**[22:00] Vash**
East.
**[22:02] Meryl**
East?
**[22:11] Vash**
Far east, to JuLai, the third city.
**[22:16] Vash**
That's where he is.

**[00:06] Bandit A**
Fresh meat is the best meat!
**[00:08] Bandit B**
I'd love to try plant-based food before I die!
**[00:12] Bandit C**
How extravagant!
**[00:15] Bandit B**
Anyway, the Worms were
awfully irritated today.
**[00:19] Bandit A**
Hm?
**[00:26] Bandit A**
What's with that guy?
**[00:28] Bandit B**
He's in a suit in the middle of the desert!
**[00:30] Bandit C**
He's not long for this world.
**[00:32] Bandit B**
No kidding! He's carrying his own tombstone!

**[02:24] Radio Host**
* It's been three days since*
* the tragedy in Jeneora Rock.*
**[02:27] Radio Host**
* The chain of incidents has been linked*
* to the wanted criminal Vash the Stampede.*
**[02:28] Meryl**
I can't believe he's sleeping so soundly.
**[02:33] Radio Host**
* Additionally, a man and a woman have*
* been identified as possible accomplices.*
**[02:38] Radio Host**
* The seven cities' military police are also*
* searching for them as persons of interest.*
**[02:44] Meryl**
So now we're wanted, too?
**[02:46] Roberto**
If headquarters finds out, we'll be fired.
**[02:51] Radio Host**
*And now, the weather for the seven cities...*
**[02:57] Roberto**
It's his. He doesn't want it.
**[03:00] Meryl**
What? But yesterday...
**[03:02] Roberto**
He hasn't eaten. Not since that day.
**[03:06] Roberto**
Only god really knows
what goes on inside someone.
**[03:22] Meryl**
A sandstorm?
**[03:23] Roberto**
No, those are...
**[03:26] Roberto**
Worms.
**[03:29] Roberto**
In these parts, they're
an important source of protein.
**[03:32] Roberto**
If you can stomach the way
they look, they're not bad.
**[03:35] Meryl**
I think stomaching *that*
would be the hard part.
**[03:53] Meryl**
Are you all right?!
**[04:07] Meryl**
You're not dying on me!
**[04:21] Meryl**
Excuse me! This man is hurt...
**[04:31] Roberto**
It's too late for these folks.
**[04:34] Meryl**
They came all the way out here?
**[04:37] Wolfwood**
"They"?
**[05:14] Wolfwood**
Okay...
**[05:16] Wolfwood**
O father in heaven,
**[05:22] Wolfwood**
forgive us our sins
as we forgive our neighbors.
**[05:27] Wolfwood**
May you accept our fallen brethren
**[05:29] Wolfwood**
and welcome the departed to your...
**[05:34] Wolfwood**
What is it?
**[05:35] Wolfwood**
Welcome them to your... dinner?
**[05:39] Wolfwood**
No, that's a meal.
**[05:41] Wolfwood**
Deliver them unto your... design?
**[05:44] Wolfwood**
No, nobody's talking about fashion.
**[05:50] Wolfwood**
Uh, give us a drive...
**[05:52] Wolfwood**
He's not your chauffeur, you idiot.
**[05:55] Meryl**
Are you really a priest?
**[05:58] Wolfwood**
I'm no priest. Just an undertaker.
**[06:01] Wolfwood**
Now back off. You're ruining it.
**[06:04] Meryl**
Anyway, what's this cross? It's way too huge.
**[06:09] Wolfwood**
Hey, keep your mitts off of it.
**[06:11] Meryl**
What?
**[06:13] Vash**
Hey, you two.
**[06:25] Wolfwood**
Here.
**[06:27] Wolfwood**
You're hungry, right?
**[06:30] Wolfwood**
It's good.
**[06:31] Meryl**
Maybe you should leave him be—
**[06:32] Wolfwood**
I lost my parents, too.
I grew up in an orphanage.
**[06:40] Wolfwood**
Good, right?
**[06:44] Wolfwood**
No matter how heavy a cross you carry,
**[06:47] Wolfwood**
you still deserve to eat.
You still deserve to laugh.
**[07:05] Vash**
Twenty thousand?!
**[07:07] Meryl**
What a rip-off!
**[07:08] Wolfwood**
You should've asked my rates
before asking me to work, dolts.
**[07:12] Meryl**
You volunteered yourself
before we even could!
**[07:14] Wolfwood**
Did not.
**[07:16] Meryl**
You can't talk your way out of this!
**[07:17] Wolfwood**
Man, you're dogged.
**[07:17] Roberto**
Are we done?
**[07:19] Meryl**
I won't brook this injustice!
**[07:21] Roberto**
Wait, what's this ridiculous price?
**[07:22] Wolfwood**
What? Stop blabbering and pay up!
**[07:26] Roberto**
By the way, aren't you hurt?
You got hit by a car, but you look fine.
**[07:31] Wolfwood**
Yeah, I'm tough. It's my saving grace.
**[07:41] Meryl**
An earthquake?
**[07:42] Vash**
No, this is...
**[08:01] Vash**
A Grand Worm!
**[08:31] Roberto**
No way!
**[08:42] Vash**
Are you okay?
**[08:43] Meryl**
Yes, thank you.
**[08:53] Meryl**
Ew, it's so damp.
**[08:56] Wolfwood**
Watch your step.
**[09:03] Meryl**
Come on!
**[09:07] Vash**
Wait, take a look.
**[09:12] Meryl**
They're resonating?
**[09:15] Meryl**
So it's true.
The Worms really are interconnected.
**[09:19] Roberto**
That's their detached electron network.
**[09:22] Roberto**
The bigger the Worm,
the more detached electrons it holds.
**[09:27] Roberto**
This guy must be the pillar
of the Worms in the area.
**[09:31] Meryl**
Meaning?
**[09:32] Roberto**
He's the boss around here.
**[09:35] Meryl**
Oh, hey!
**[09:44] Meryl**
Wait!
**[09:53] Vash**
Which hole did he go into?
**[09:55] Wolfwood**
I envy kids and their light feet.
**[09:57] Roberto**
Why don't you put down that cross, then?
**[10:00] Wolfwood**
It's the tool of my trade. How would
I make a living if I offloaded it?
**[10:09] Meryl**
We need to hurry.
**[10:10] Wolfwood**
Then we should split up.
**[10:11] Wolfwood**
Needle-noggin, you take the farthest one.
**[10:13] Vash**
"Needle-noggin"?
**[10:14] Wolfwood**
Little missy can take the next one.
**[10:16] Meryl**
My name is Meryl Stryfe!
**[10:17] Wolfwood**
Uncle Downer can go there.
**[10:19] Wolfwood**
And I'll take that one.
**[10:22] Meryl**
Why're *you* calling the shots?
**[10:23] Wolfwood**
I thought you were in a hurry.
**[10:29] Meryl**
I don't get it.
**[10:31] Meryl**
Why split up when there's
no telling what could happen?
**[10:44] Meryl**
N-No one's there, right?
**[10:52] Meryl**
Are you all right?!
**[11:00] Meryl**
Thank goodness.
**[11:20] Vash**
No luck. I can't find them anywhere.
**[11:23] Roberto**
Me neither.
**[11:25] Wolfwood**
That's enough. You should find
a way out unless you wanna die, too.
**[11:29] Vash**
I'm sure they're both fine.
We'll find and help them.
**[11:35] Wolfwood**
So you'd risk your life for theirs?
**[11:40] Wolfwood**
Self-sacrifice on self-sacrifice...
You're a weird one.
**[11:52] Wolfwood**
You only get one life.
**[11:56] Wolfwood**
You have to fight for it, no matter
who you hurt in the process.
**[12:02] Wolfwood**
There's no other way to survive.
**[12:05] Roberto**
Watch out, Stampede.
**[12:08] Roberto**
They take the first bite
to get your guard down,
**[12:10] Roberto**
then lace what they pass
to their target with poison.
**[12:13] Roberto**
Standard stuff for assassins.
**[12:16] Wolfwood**
Huh?
**[12:17] Roberto**
Our news agency isn't much to be proud of,
**[12:20] Roberto**
but one thing we *do* have
is a good intel network.
**[12:23] Roberto**
I've heard about humans who control Worms.
**[12:28] Wolfwood**
Who, me?
**[12:30] Wolfwood**
That makes no sense, you dolt.
I'm stuck in here with you.
**[12:33] Roberto**
In that case, let me check out
that precious cross of yours.
**[12:40] Wolfwood**
This isn't funny anymore.
**[12:42] Roberto**
From the look of it,
it's too heavy to be a mere cross.
**[12:47] Roberto**
Give me a peek inside, why don't you?
**[12:50] Wolfwood**
Why don't you make me?
**[12:52] Wolfwood**
With your derringer that looks
too light to be a real gun, hmm?
**[12:57] Vash**
Come on, you two.
**[12:58] Roberto**
Stampede, this is a man who can
kill with a smile on his face.
**[13:03] Vash**
No, I don't think so.
**[13:05] Roberto**
Why's that?
**[13:09] Vash**
I can see it in his eyes.
**[13:17] Wolfwood**
You really mess with me.
**[13:20] Vash**
See?
**[13:25] Vash**
Roberto?
**[13:30] Vash**
Meryl!
**[13:34] Vash**
Roberto!
**[13:36] Wolfwood**
It's pointless. They've all been digested.
**[13:39] Vash**
This place is covered in skeletons,
so the Worms can't digest *that* much.
**[13:45] Vash**
Besides, I haven't seen
a single one of their bones.
**[13:47] Wolfwood**
What about it?
**[13:49] Vash**
It's too early to give up.
**[13:53] Wolfwood**
So, how long do you want
to keep wandering in circles?
**[13:59] Vash**
Um...
**[14:01] Wolfwood**
Maybe we're the lost ones, not them.
**[14:05] Vash**
Come on... Stop trying to scare me.
**[14:24] Wolfwood**
So we were in its nose...
**[14:26] Bandit A**
Hey, you guys! Are you all right?!
**[14:29] Bandit C**
It's a Worm spout!
**[14:30] Bandit B**
I've never seen such a big one before!
**[14:33] Bandit C**
Run! Hurry! Behind you!
**[14:35] Bandits**
Beat it! Hurry! Run! Come on!
**[14:40] Wolfwood**
Hey, *hey!* You just lucked out and
you're gonna throw it all away?
**[14:46] Wolfwood**
There's no guarantee you'll get lucky again!
**[14:49] Vash**
You should run.
**[14:51] Bandit A**
Don't do it!
**[14:52] Bandit B**
You'll die!
**[14:53] Bandit C**
Run! Hurry!
**[14:55] Wolfwood**
You fool...
**[15:23] Vash**
You're...
**[15:31] Vash**
You're all right now.
**[15:36] Wolfwood**
A little too careless, aren't we?
**[15:40] Wolfwood**
We only met today. How many times
have you let me out of your sight?
**[15:46] Vash**
Yet not once did you shoot me.
**[15:53] Vash**
That unique mosquito sound...
**[15:55] Vash**
So you're the one controlling the Worms.
**[15:59] Zazie**
That's odd. It should be
inaudible to regular humans.
**[16:05] Zazie**
Good job seeing through my disguise.
**[16:08] Vash**
Did you kill that couple, too?
**[16:10] Zazie**
Humans always assume it's a family
**[16:13] Zazie**
when they see a group of adults and children.
**[16:16] Vash**
Where are Meryl and Roberto?
**[16:18] Zazie**
You came back for them?
**[16:25] Zazie**
I simply don't understand...
**[16:29] Zazie**
Didn't you realize returning
for them would get you killed?
**[16:42] Vash**
Give them back!
**[16:44] Zazie**
If you must know what happened
to them, then make me talk.
**[16:51] Vash**
Damn it...
**[16:52] Wolfwood**
You're leaving yourself wide open again.
**[17:04] Wolfwood**
Eat this.
**[17:11] Wolfwood**
Pathetic Worm!
**[17:34] Vash**
Who are you?
**[17:36] Wolfwood**
Just an undertaker.
**[17:40] Zazie**
I'll be seeing you.
**[17:41] Zazie**
That is... assuming you get out of here alive.
**[17:51] Vash**
Hey, wait!
**[17:56] Wolfwood**
You're not getting away, Worm.
**[18:06] Wolfwood**
I'm a tough nut to crack.
**[18:36] Wolfwood**
Fresh meat is definitely the best!
**[18:39] Wolfwood**
What, you still feeling sick?
**[18:41] Meryl**
No, I'm fine thanks to you...
**[18:45] Meryl**
I appreciate you saving me—
**[18:47] Wolfwood**
Here, eat.
**[18:49] Meryl**
I'm fine...
**[18:50] Wolfwood**
You're not going to survive like that.
**[18:52] Wolfwood**
Come on! Eat up!
**[18:55] Meryl**
Hey! What do you think you're doing?!
**[18:56] Roberto**
I see now. The cross is
actually a machine gun.
**[19:01] Roberto**
No wonder it's so heavy.
**[19:05] Roberto**
I told you he's bad news.
**[19:08] Vash**
But we made it through thanks to him.
**[19:11] Roberto**
You'd thank a villain for his vagaries?
**[19:15] Roberto**
That's a little too generous.
**[19:19] Vash**
I get that a lot.
**[19:23] Roberto**
Then fix it already...
**[19:29] Wolfwood**
Just eat up already.
**[19:30] Meryl**
I told you, I'm fine.
**[19:31] Wolfwood**
Don't be picky with your food.
**[19:33] Meryl**
That's not the deal.
**[19:35] Wolfwood**
Then what is?
**[19:40] Meryl**
Vash...
**[19:43] Vash**
I still deserve to eat and laugh, right?
**[19:49] Wolfwood**
The name's Nicholas D. Wolfwood.
**[19:53] Vash**
Vash the Stampede—
**[19:55] Wolfwood**
Needle-noggin.
**[19:56] Vash**
N-Needle-noggin?
**[19:58] Wolfwood**
Welp, let's get going.
**[20:00] Meryl**
Wait, you're coming with us?
**[20:02] Wolfwood**
You need someone like me, don't you?
**[20:04] Wolfwood**
Seems you're dealing
with some unsavory types.
**[20:06] Meryl**
Thank you, but no.
**[20:08] Wolfwood**
I won't be too expensive.
**[20:09] Meryl**
No, thanks.
**[20:11] Roberto**
You should be asking why
he thinks he can charge us.
**[20:14] Meryl**
Please say something, Roberto!
**[20:15] Roberto**
Well, we're just tagging along
without permission, too.
**[20:20] Meryl**
It's totally different!
**[20:22] Wolfwood**
Huh, I didn't expect him
to be the reasonable one.
**[20:26] Wolfwood**
Gimme one.
**[20:28] Roberto**
I didn't say you could have one.
**[20:30] Wolfwood**
Don't be so cheap.
**[20:31] Meryl**
No! We can't afford any more expenditure!
**[20:34] Vash**
Look! Check out the sky.
**[20:36] Meryl**
What now? This is important...
**[20:42] Meryl**
How pretty.
**[20:46] Roberto**
Those are all Worms.
**[20:50] Meryl**
Thanks for ruining it.
**[21:02] Wolfwood**
You overdid it.
You almost got me killed, too...
**[21:09] Wolfwood**
Zazie the Beast.
**[21:11] Zazie**
But you earned their trust, right?
**[21:15] Zazie**
Besides, killing "friends" is your favorite.
**[21:20] Zazie**
You honestly couldn't care less
about human lives, could you?
**[21:27] Zazie**
I can see it in your eyes.
**[21:30] Wolfwood**
Hah, I don't care.
**[21:32] Wolfwood**
I just do my job,
**[21:36] Wolfwood**
no matter who I'm up against.
**[21:42] Conrad**
What Vash the Stampede
manifested at that moment
**[21:47] Conrad**
must be the gate that allows access
to the higher dimension.
**[21:50] Conrad**
But it's still locked.
**[21:54] Conrad**
His morality and ethics are
functioning as a defensive measure.
**[22:01] Conrad**
Your little brother is
more human than anyone.
**[22:09] Knives**
Then we'll just have to pry it open.
**[22:15] Knives**
We'll destroy him if we have to.

My tears scattered like bits of paper
**[01:06] [SONG] OP**
Scared of the unknowable tomorrow
**[01:09] [SONG] OP**
I lived the same day over and over,
back and forth
**[01:13] [SONG] OP**
But a new morning never came
**[01:17] [SONG] OP**
All the reasons to calm down
**[01:19] [SONG] OP**
Are just some moments until the crash
**[01:24] [SONG] OP**
I'm no longer the one that everyone knows
**[01:27] [SONG] OP**
Took off the fragile armor
**[01:31] [SONG] OP**
I don't want to lose any more love
**[01:39] [SONG] OP**
I don't want to lose any more love
**[01:46] [SONG] OP**
There's still no line
between today and tomorrow
**[01:50] [SONG] OP**
My waking nightmare doesn't end
**[01:53] [SONG] OP**
And yet I won't lose hope
**[01:57] [SONG] OP**
And yet there's no night that doesn't end

Not here, not here
**[02:20] Religious Radio Host**
*When the two angels descend,*
**[02:23] Religious Radio Host**
*a bridge of light will cross the sky*
**[02:26] Religious Radio Host**
*and we will be led to the land of God.*
**[02:30] Meryl**
Ugh, it's so hot...
Say, can I change the radio?
**[02:31] Radio Host**
* Heed the words of Missionary Michael*
* and Priest William.*
**[02:35] Roberto**
Yeah.
**[02:38] Radio Host**
*The west is in for a strong, windless heat,*
**[02:39] Meryl**
What was that, anyway?
**[02:41] Roberto**
What?
**[02:42] Radio Host**
* raising the maximum temperature*
* to around fifty degrees.*
**[02:43] Roberto**
A religious program.
**[02:46] Roberto**
The church of plant worshippers.
**[02:51] Roberto**
You could say they're
a newly established sect.
**[02:56] Roberto**
I hear they've got a headquarters in JuLai.
**[03:04] Meryl**
Ugh, yikes. I'm so sick of this heat.
**[03:07] Roberto**
Originally...
**[03:09] Meryl**
Huh?
**[03:09] Roberto**
This stretch of desert was a normal color.
**[03:14] Meryl**
Huh.
**[03:15] Roberto**
Until one night!
**[03:18] Roberto**
Out of nowhere, *it* appeared.
**[03:22] Roberto**
Was it man or beast?
To this day, nobody really knows.
**[03:27] Roberto**
Because all who laid eyes on it...
**[03:31] Roberto**
All who laid eyes on it were massacred!
Every last one of them!
**[03:39] Roberto**
Overnight, the blood of its victims
painted the whole desert
**[03:43] Roberto**
the deep crimson that you see now.
**[03:48] Roberto**
There. Was that chilling enough for you?
**[03:51] Meryl**
Y-You just startled me. That's all.
**[04:03] Roberto**
What's the matter?
**[04:06] Meryl**
Over there.
**[04:16] Meryl**
It's dead, right?
**[04:18] Wolfwood**
One strike. Bare-handed.
**[04:21] Roberto**
Bare-handed?
**[04:23] Meryl**
Did one of Millions Knives's gang kill it?
**[04:26] Roberto**
Maybe it was the monster
I just told you about.
**[04:29] Meryl**
No way.
**[04:31] Wolfwood**
This thing's been dead for a while.
**[04:33] Wolfwood**
Even if it Knives did it, he's long gone.
**[04:37] Wolfwood**
Right, Needle-noggin?
**[04:47] Wolfwood**
What's up?
**[04:48] Wolfwood**
Wuh... Hey.
***SIGN*** #05 Child of Blessing
**[05:09] Religious Radio Host**
* Now pray, and God shall send*
* the angel of salvation our way.*
**[05:17] Religious Radio Host**
*Praise the angel. Honor the angel.*
**[05:21] (Flashback) Rollo**
Hey, Mom...
**[05:22] Religious Radio Host**
*Become the angel's eyes.*
**[05:22] (Flashback) Rollo**
Why does God eat the sacrificed children?
**[05:28] (Flashback) Rollo's Mother**
To bring blessings.
**[05:31] (Flashback) Rollo**
But those who get eaten die.
**[05:35] (Flashback) Rollo's Mother**
Death is not the end. It's the beginning.
**[05:38] (Flashback) Rollo's Mother**
Going to heaven is a wonderful thing.
**[05:45] Roberto**
Doesn't look like anyone lives here anymore.
**[05:48] Meryl**
It's weirdly quiet.
**[05:50] Wolfwood**
Check it out. They've got no plant.
**[05:54] Meryl**
Could it have been stolen?
**[05:56] Roberto**
No, I think...
**[05:59] Roberto**
They used to spin that to make power.
**[06:03] Meryl**
A windmill?
**[06:04] Wolfwood**
It's not moving.
**[06:06] Roberto**
Obviously, there's no wind.
**[06:09] Wolfwood**
So what do you do if there's,
like, never any wind?
**[06:12] Meryl**
It would mean a prolonged power outage.
**[06:14] Wolfwood**
Huh? What kind of stupid system is that?
**[06:17] Meryl**
That's just how wind power works.
**[06:20] Wolfwood**
Sounds dumb.
**[06:47] Meryl**
Vash!
**[06:48] Vash**
Get back!
**[06:51] Roberto**
Idiot! Don't just jump in!
**[06:53] Meryl**
O-Okay.
**[07:03] Monev**
Vash the Stampede!
**[07:10] Wolfwood**
Idiot! What're you doing just sitting around?!
**[07:13] Vash**
Right.
**[07:15] Roberto**
This fella knows Vash?
**[07:18] Meryl**
Seems so.
**[07:21] Monev**
Vash... the... Stampede!
**[07:32] Meryl**
Vash!
**[07:33] Vash**
Hide inside a house!
**[07:35] Vash**
He's only after me!
**[07:39] Wolfwood**
Stubborn grunt.
**[07:40] Monev**
Vash the...
**[07:46] Vash**
Wolfwood!
**[08:12] Monev**
Vash...
**[08:17] Monev**
Vash the Stampede...
**[08:28] (Flashback) Woman 5-A**
Hey, did you already talk to Rollo?
**[08:31] (Flashback) Rollo's Mother**
No, it's too hard for me.
**[08:35] (Flashback) Woman 5-B**
I understand. But we all got over it.
**[08:40] (Flashback) Woman 5-C**
Think of it this way. Your child born on a
windless day is finally getting his blessing.
**[08:45] (Flashback) Woman 5-A**
It's a wonderful thing.
**[08:46] (Flashback) Rollo's Mother**
Yes, you're right.
**[08:49] (Flashback) Rollo's Mother**
When Rollo comes home,
**[08:51] (Flashback) Rollo's Mother**
I'll let him know that he's
been chosen as the sacrifice.
**[08:54] (Flashback) Woman 5-B**
Yes, yes, good.
**[08:56] (Flashback) Woman 5-C**
That'd be best.
**[09:13] Monev**
Vash the Stampede!
**[09:35] Vash**
Are you okay?
**[09:40] Vash**
Thank goodness. You're still alive.
**[09:45] Monev**
Vash the Stam—
**[09:53] Wolfwood**
You dolt!
**[09:54] Wolfwood**
You tryin' to get killed!?
**[09:56] Wolfwood**
We run for now!
**[09:57] Vash**
Y-Yeah!
**[10:09] Meryl**
U-Um...
**[10:12] Roberto**
Yeah?
**[10:13] Meryl**
Are Vash and Wolfwood all right?
**[10:17] Roberto**
Who knows?
**[10:19] Roberto**
You stay out of this, newbie.
There's nothing we can do here.
**[10:28] Monev**
Vash... the... Stampede...
**[10:42] Wolfwood**
You dumbass.
**[10:45] Wolfwood**
I've had it with your
insufferable do-gooder routine.
**[10:47] Vash**
I mean... I was worried
that might've been the end of him.
**[10:51] Wolfwood**
Someone oughta end *you.*
**[10:55] Vash**
That's savage, man.
**[10:58] Wolfwood**
Well?
**[10:59] Vash**
Huh?
**[11:00] Wolfwood**
Stop playing dumb.
**[11:02] Wolfwood**
You knew about this village, didn't you?
**[11:06] Wolfwood**
What happened here?
**[11:09] Vash**
I don't know, either. Just that...
**[11:30] (Flashback) Vash**
Are you all right?
**[11:34] (Flashback) Vash**
Finally found you. Are you Rollo?
**[11:44] (Flashback) Vash**
Your mother asked me to find you.
You ran away from home, huh?
**[11:50] (Flashback) Rollo**
No, it's not that...
**[11:55] (Flashback) Rollo**
You must be Vash the Stampede, right?
**[11:59] (Flashback) Vash**
You know about me?
**[12:02] (Flashback) Rollo**
Yeah, you're famous.
They call you the Humanoid Typhoon.
**[12:08] (Flashback) Vash**
Er, where did you hear that?
**[12:11] (Flashback) Rollo**
There was more.
**[12:13] (Flashback) Rollo**
You're a walking natural disaster.
A demon that causes mayhem.
**[12:25] (Flashback) Rollo**
I'm sick. They say I'll die before I grow up.
**[12:32] (Flashback) Rollo**
Maybe God won't save me
because I don't believe in him.
**[12:46] (Flashback) Rollo**
There's no wind, and everyone's
suffering because of it.
**[12:49] (Flashback) Vash**
It must be rough without a plant.
**[12:52] (Flashback) Rollo**
That's why I'm next...
**[12:54] (Flashback) Vash**
Huh?
**[12:58] (Flashback) Rollo**
Was my mom worried?
**[13:01] (Flashback) Vash**
Yes, very much.
**[13:05] (Flashback) Vash**
If you need help, remember me!
**[13:07] (Flashback) Vash**
I promise I'll be there for you.
**[13:12] (Flashback) Vash**
If God won't save you, I will!
**[13:28] Vash**
Yet by the time I got my hands on some
medicine and returned, Rollo was...
**[13:33] Wolfwood**
So you talked a big game about saving him
but couldn't follow through.
**[13:45] Wolfwood**
Here it comes.
**[13:51] Religious Radio Host**
* For those who believe in God,*
* death is not the end.*
**[13:55] Religious Radio Host**
* Only those who believe*
* find salvation and love.*
**[14:03] Religious Radio Host**
*Rejoice in death. Praise death.*
**[14:08] Religious Radio Host**
*May God bless you.*
**[14:14] (Flashback) Rollo**
Who are you?
**[14:19] (Flashback) Rollo**
Are you God?
**[14:21] (Flashback) Conrad**
The man you praise as God
is not here right now.
**[14:29] (Flashback) Rollo**
Please let go...
**[14:39] (Flashback) Rollo**
Are you... a sacrifice, too?
**[14:43] (Flashback) Elendira**
Me? Think again.
**[14:48] (Flashback) Elendira**
I'm an angel.
**[14:58] (Flashback) Conrad**
This drug will rebuild and strengthen
your body at the cellular level,
**[15:02] (Flashback) Conrad**
as well as accelerate your
metabolism to the extreme.
**[15:08] (Flashback) Conrad**
If you can adapt to it,
it should cure your illness.
**[15:13] (Flashback) Conrad**
Of course, there will be some side effects,
**[15:16] (Flashback) Conrad**
but at the very least,
it won't be the illness that kills you.
**[15:40] (Flashback) Rollo**
I... don't want to die...
**[15:42] (Flashback) Rollo**
Help me, Vash...
**[15:46] Monev**
Vash the Stampede!
**[15:53] Wolfwood**
You're wide open!
**[15:58] Vash**
Wolfwood!
**[16:07] Monev**
Vash the Stampede!
**[16:14] (Flashback) Conrad**
The implant in his brain
will heighten his emotions,
**[16:19] (Flashback) Conrad**
leading to accelerated
development of athletic abilities.
**[16:23] (Flashback) Conrad**
Hatred is a poison to the soul.
**[16:27] (Flashback) Conrad**
It's a toxin more potent than
the venom glands of Worms.
**[16:33] (Flashback) Conrad**
He's the first to survive
for five whole years.
**[16:36] (Flashback) Conrad**
Finally, a success...
**[16:38] (Flashback) Elendira**
He'll just be another failure.
**[16:45] (Flashback) Rollo's Mother**
Who is it?
**[16:48] (Flashback) Rollo/Monev**
Mom? It's me.
**[16:51] (Flashback) Rollo's Mother**
Rollo?
**[16:52] (Flashback) Rollo/Monev**
Yes, it's me.
**[17:01] (Flashback) Monev**
Mom.
**[17:03] (Flashback) Monev**
I'm home.
**[17:05] (Flashback) Rollo's Mother**
You monster...
**[17:07] (Flashback) Monev**
No, I'm... I am...
**[17:15] Vash**
Rollo!
**[17:18] Religious Radio Host**
* God shall send the angel*
* of salvation our way.*
**[17:23] Meryl**
What is this place?
**[17:25] Religious Radio Host**
* When the angel descends,*
* we will be led to the land of God.*
**[17:26] Roberto**
Looks like it's been this way for a while.
Maybe twenty years.
**[17:32] Religious Radio Host**
*Rejoice in death. Praise death.*
**[17:35] Religious Radio Host**
*Death is not the end.*
**[17:40] Meryl**
Wh-What is this?
**[17:43] Roberto**
What'd you find, newbie?
**[17:45] Meryl**
Um, this is...
**[17:48] Meryl**
Isn't this Vash?
**[17:57] Vash**
You're Rollo! Don't you remember?!
**[18:02] Wolfwood**
It's no use. He's...
**[18:07] Wolfwood**
just a monster now.
**[18:15] Vash**
Listen to me, Rollo!
**[18:17] Vash**
I'm—
**[18:37] Vash**
Rollo...
**[18:39] Vash**
I'm sorry... Back then...
**[18:45] Vash**
Back then...
**[18:49] Vash**
I promised you, but I...
**[19:06] Wolfwood**
You insufferable fool.
**[19:12] Vash**
I'm so sorry I'm late.
I'm here to keep my word.
**[19:18] Vash**
You won't be alone anymore...
**[19:28] Wolfwood**
You dumbass!
**[19:39] Vash**
Rollo!
**[20:23] Vash**
Wake up, Rollo.
**[20:27] Vash**
Please wake up, Rollo!
**[20:30] Vash**
Rollo... Come on, Rollo... Come on!
**[20:35] Wolfwood**
Enough already.
**[20:37] Wolfwood**
He's dead.
**[20:42] Vash**
Why'd you shoot?
**[20:44] Vash**
Why?! Why shoot Rollo?!
**[20:49] Wolfwood**
Mercy.
**[20:53] Wolfwood**
There's no way to return his humanity.
**[20:56] Wolfwood**
Keeping him alive is torture.
**[21:00] Vash**
That's not for you to decide.
**[21:03] Wolfwood**
Your hypocrisy is showing.
**[21:06] Wolfwood**
You're the one saying things
you can't even make good on.
**[21:11] Wolfwood**
At best, it's all talk.
**[21:25] Meryl**
The wind...
**[21:38] Conrad**
I see. So he's dead.
**[21:42] Elendira**
How convenient. Saves you
the trouble of getting rid of a failure.
**[21:49] Zazie**
Well, it was another of the
doctor's creations that did the job.
**[21:55] Elendira**
Oh, right. Nicholas, was it?
**[22:00] Conrad**
No... the Punisher.
**[22:04] ---**
**[22:20] [SONG] ED**
Your light...
**[22:34] [SONG] ED**
If that light never changes
**[22:38] [SONG] ED**
And continues to shine high above the sky
**[22:42] [SONG] ED**
Even when I'm lost,
even when I'm struggling
**[22:47] [SONG] ED**
I'll continue to search for you
**[22:51] [SONG] ED**
Even on days of sickness or sadness
**[22:55] [SONG] ED**
I'll open the window to a new morning
**[23:00] [SONG] ED**
I'm moving forward, I'm standing still
**[23:04] [SONG] ED**
Tell the people who are praying
**[23:07] [SONG] ED**
But today this flower
before me is praising you
**[23:13] [SONG] ED**
My song is a song of joy and wishes
**[23:16] [SONG] ED**
Yes, I'm reaching out
**[23:19] [SONG] ED**
But you're too high up
in the evening stars
**[23:24] [SONG] ED**
But today this flower
before me is praising you
**[23:30] [SONG] ED**
My song is a song of joy and wishes
**[23:34] [SONG] ED**
Yes, I try to reach out
**[23:36] [SONG] ED**
But you're too high up
in the evening stars

**[00:04] (Flashback) Fugitive**
Forgive me!
**[00:29] (Flashback) Fugitive**
Ha! So that's all for you, executioner.
**[00:48] (Flashback) Fugitive**
Y-You monster...
**[01:17] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
My tears scattered like bits of paper
**[01:21] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
Scared of the unknowable tomorrow
**[01:24] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
I lived the same day over and over,
back and forth
**[01:28] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
But a new morning never came
**[01:32] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
All the reasons to calm down
**[01:34] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
Are just some moments until the crash
**[01:39] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
I'm no longer the one that everyone knows
**[01:42] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
Took off the fragile armor
**[01:46] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
I don't want to lose any more love
**[01:54] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
I don't want to lose any more love
**[02:01] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
There's still no line
between today and tomorrow
**[02:04] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
My waking nightmare doesn't end
**[02:08] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
And yet I won't lose hope
**[02:12] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
And yet there's no night that doesn't end
**[02:18] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
Not here, not here
**[02:33] Radio Host**
* The authorities have not yet*
* been able to track down*
**[02:36] Radio Host**
*the plant thief terrorizing the region.*
**[02:39] Radio Host**
* Even red plants scheduled*
* for disposal are being taken,*
**[02:43] Radio Host**
* suggesting the culprit behind the spree*
* isn't well-versed in plant technology.*
**[02:45] Meryl**
You guys fight over candy or something?
**[02:48] Radio Host**
* The JuLai government continues*
* its search for the key witnesses.*
**[02:52] Radio Host**
*The man named Vash—*
**[02:55] Roberto**
You can take the Sand Steamer from
the port up ahead to get to JuLai.
**[03:02] Meryl**
Are we leaving the car behind?
**[03:05] Roberto**
This is where we check out.
**[03:07] Meryl**
What?
**[03:08] Roberto**
We need to return to headquarters.
Gotta write up our article.
**[03:12] Meryl**
But...
**[03:13] Roberto**
You're fine with that, right?
**[03:22] Humpback PA**
*Last call for boarding.*
**[03:26] Humpback PA**
* All passengers, please complete*
* boarding procedures*
**[03:30] Humpback PA**
*and head to the boarding gate.*
**[03:33] Humpback PA**
* If you have not yet completed*
* boarding procedures,*
**[03:36] Humpback PA**
*please speak to an attendant immediately.*
**[03:39] Humpback PA**
* Thank you for your cooperation*
* in keeping us on schedule.*
**[03:43] Wolfwood**
I thought you guys were buddies.
**[03:43] Humpback PA**
* Please note that this is both*
* a cargo and passenger ship.*
**[03:46] Vash**
No way.
**[03:47] Wolfwood**
No? How cold.
**[03:48] Humpback PA**
* Thank you for traveling*
* via Sand Steamer today.*
**[03:50] Meryl**
I don't understand!
**[03:53] Roberto**
Didn't think you would.
**[03:54] Meryl**
How can we let the
Humanoid Typhoon get away?
**[03:57] Roberto**
He's too much trouble.
**[04:00] Roberto**
What kind of monster looks
the same for twenty years?
**[04:03] Meryl**
Are you scared?
**[04:05] Roberto**
Say what you will.
**[04:06] Roberto**
We're writing for a tabloid.
Nothing worth risking our lives over.
**[04:14] Meryl**
Then it's okay if we're *not* risking our lives?
**[04:19] Roberto**
You're such a...
**[04:33] Humpback PA**
*Thank you for boarding the Humpback,*
**[04:35] Humpback PA**
*bound to cross the Great Sand Ocean.*
**[04:41] Humpback PA**
* This ship is one of the largest*
* Sand Steamers on Noman's Land.*
**[04:46] Humpback PA**
* Our plant is one of the*
* most powerful in the world,*
**[04:49] Humpback PA**
* meaning safety and peace of mind*
* for our passengers.*
**[04:53] Humpback PA**
* Our destination is the third city of JuLai*
* on the other side of the Great Sand Ocean.*
**[04:58] Humpback PA**
*Please sit back and enjoy the voyage.*
**[05:14] Vash**
What's your endgame?
**[05:16] Wolfwood**
Huh?
**[05:17] Vash**
You're following me around.
**[05:19] Wolfwood**
I'm your babysitter.
**[05:21] Wolfwood**
You're a spoiled brat
who can't even kill bad guys.
**[05:27] Wolfwood**
You should be thanking me.
**[05:31] Vash**
You don't get to choose who lives and dies.
**[05:34] Wolfwood**
Still going on about that?
**[05:36] Male passenger**
Let's have tea over there.
**[05:37] Female passenger**
Sure.
**[05:38] Vash**
Don't you have something you want
to protect more than anything else, too?
**[05:43] Wolfwood**
Enough already.
**[05:45] Wolfwood**
The only reason you've survived this long
is because other people died instead.
**[05:50] Vash**
That's not what I mean, and you know it.
**[05:54] Wolfwood**
What? I don't get you at all.
**[05:58] Wolfwood**
All I hear is more talk.
**[06:03] Wolfwood**
If you can't even wipe your own ass,
any point you try to make is...
**[06:14] Wolfwood**
Run, Needle-noggin!
**[06:49] Wolfwood**
What gives?
**[06:52] Wolfwood**
What are you doing here...
***SIGN*** #06 Once Upon a Time in Hopeland
**[07:01] Wolfwood**
Livio?
***SIGN*** Everyone! Here's a new friend!
***SIGN*** His name is Livio.
***SIGN*** Mommy... Daddy...
***SIGN*** Oh, here you are.
***SIGN*** The name's Nicholas D. Wolfwood.
***SIGN*** You're finally smiling, crybaby Livio.
***SIGN*** What are you brats doing?!
**[09:40] Wolfwood**
Stop, Livio! Don't kill him!
**[09:51] Soldier 6-A**
Is this the reported location?
**[09:52] Soldier 6-G**
Don't move!
**[09:53] Soldier 6-A**
Drop your weapon!
**[09:54] Soldier 6-B**
What are you doing?!
Resist and we'll shoot!
**[09:56] Vash**
Don't come over here!
**[10:03] Soldier 6-A**
Hey! You, too! Drop your weapons!
**[10:06] Soldier 6-A**
What are you doing?!
**[10:07] Soldier 6-A**
Answer me!
**[10:17] Roberto**
Wh-Wh-Whoa! Watch it!
**[10:19] Roberto**
You trying to get fired in your first year?
**[10:22] Meryl**
I get it.
**[10:23] Roberto**
The repair costs alone would—
**[10:25] Meryl**
I get it. I'll drive safely.
**[10:27] Roberto**
No, you don't. I'm saying to let this go.
**[10:31] Meryl**
I get it.
**[10:33] Roberto**
Fine! Just remember that
this is an undercover report.
**[10:36] Meryl**
I get it!
**[10:37] Roberto**
Pull out at the first sign
of trouble, you hear?
**[10:40] Meryl**
I get it!
**[10:41] Roberto**
Do you *really?*
**[10:46] Roberto**
Man, this is just the worst.
***SIGN*** You must be Nicholas.
***SIGN*** You've passed the selection test.
***SIGN*** Congratulations, child of blessing.
***SIGN*** Test Subject HL1-06 Chemical Aptitude: S+
**[12:29] (Flashback) Conrad**
In addition to repairing
any damage done to your body,
**[12:34] (Flashback) Conrad**
this drug rebuilds and
strengthens your cells.
**[12:39] (Flashback) Conrad**
It can heal any wound.
**[12:46] (Flashback) Conrad**
Sounds like a dream, right?
**[12:52] Livio**
*Nico! Nico!*
**[12:55] Orphans**
*Nico! Nico!*
**[13:08] (Flashback) Conrad**
The accelerated growth
comes at a price, but...
**[13:16] (Flashback) Black suit A**
He's grown so much in just a few months.
**[13:19] (Flashback) Black suit C**
An unavoidable side effect.
**[13:22] (Flashback) Black suit B**
How terrible...
**[13:23] (Flashback) Black suit C**
What a monster.
**[13:40] (Flashback) Black suit A**
We've got a runner!
**[13:42] (Flashback) Black suit A**
Is that...
**[13:47] (Flashback) Black suit A**
Hey! Don't move!
**[13:49] (Flashback) Black suit B**
Hold it!
**[13:52] (Flashback) Black suit C**
Stop!
**[13:55] (Flashback) Conrad**
What are you doing?!
**[13:57] (Flashback) Conrad**
Don't hurt him! He's a test subject!
**[14:13] (Flashback) Conrad**
How splendid...
**[14:27] (Flashback) Wolfwood**
I'm going back to the orphanage!
**[14:52] (Flashback) Legato**
How is he maintaining his own will?
**[14:57] (Flashback) Legato**
S+ boy...
**[15:01] (Flashback) Legato**
You have a gift.
**[15:04] (Flashback) Legato**
Starting today, you shall join
the Eye of Michael.
**[15:13] (Flashback) Legato**
I'm sure you'll like it.
We worship a beautiful angel.
**[15:21] (Flashback) Wolfwood**
I don't believe in any god.
**[15:23] (Flashback) Legato**
Punishment...
**[15:25] (Flashback) Legato**
You will eliminate all abnormalities
in Master Knives's noble plan.
**[15:33] (Flashback) Legato**
Rebels.
**[15:38] (Flashback) Legato**
Fugitives.
**[15:42] (Flashback) Legato**
Losers.
**[15:44] (Flashback) Wolfwood**
What a gross religion.
**[15:46] (Flashback) Legato**
I'm sure you'll like it.
**[15:48] (Flashback) Wolfwood**
That's a hard pass from me, idiot!
**[15:56] (Flashback) Legato**
This is your little brother, no?
**[15:58] (Flashback) Wolfwood**
Livio...
**[16:00] (Flashback) Legato**
I hear he volunteered himself
to follow after you.
**[16:04] (Flashback) Legato**
What beautiful fraternal love.
**[16:07] (Flashback) Legato**
If you won't join us, he says
he'll work for us instead.
**[16:12] (Flashback) Legato**
So what will it be?
**[16:14] (Flashback) Wolfwood**
Damn you and your freaky blue hair!
**[16:25] (Flashback) Legato**
Don't talk about my hair.
**[16:32] (Flashback) Legato**
It's futile. My power isn't mere
nerve control or electrical impulse.
**[16:40] (Flashback) Wolfwood**
Livio... R-Run!
**[16:45] (Flashback) Legato**
Love, attachment... I simply don't get it.
**[16:51] (Flashback) Legato**
There's no need for emotion.
**[16:53] (Flashback) Legato**
Sacrifice everything to devotion,
body and spirit.
**[16:57] (Flashback) Legato**
Now come.
**[16:58] (Flashback) Wolfwood**
No way, you creepy blue freak!
**[17:08] (Flashback) Conrad**
Bluesummers!
**[17:11] (Flashback) Legato**
Oh. You're here already.
**[17:13] (Flashback) Conrad**
Please be gentle with him.
**[17:15] (Flashback) Legato**
He's just a stray.
**[17:17] (Flashback) Conrad**
He has S+ drug compatibility,
the highest class.
**[17:23] (Flashback) Legato**
Oh, dear, I'm so sorry...
**[17:26] (Flashback) Legato**
Priest William.
**[17:29] (Flashback) Conrad**
You mustn't defile life!
**[17:32] (Flashback) Conrad**
Forgive us, boy.
**[17:41] (Flashback) Wolfwood**
I'm sorry, Livio...
**[17:48] Wolfwood**
Please! Don't make me kill you!
**[18:00] Soldier 6-C**
There he is! Fire!
**[18:07] Soldier 6-C**
Fire!
**[18:16] Soldier 6-D**
He's still alive? But how?
**[18:20] Wolfwood**
Without the meds?
**[18:28] Vash**
Who is that guy?!
**[18:28] Wolfwood**
None of your business!
**[18:30] Wolfwood**
Hurry and hide before he finds you.
**[18:32] Vash**
Someone's gonna get killed!
**[18:33] Wolfwood**
You shouldn't be worrying about other people!
**[18:35] Vash**
You know him, don't you?!
You have to help him!
**[18:39] Wolfwood**
It's too late.
**[18:49] Wolfwood**
Hey! Don't go, Needle-noggin!
**[18:51] Vash**
Stop this! It's me you want, right?!
**[19:05] Livio**
I have to catch up...
**[19:09] Soldier 6-E**
Drop your weapons and surrender!
**[19:11] Vash**
Listen, you soldiers need to run!
**[19:14] Soldier 6-F**
Engaged on the lower deck.
**[19:15] Soldier 6-F**
Need backup immediately.
**[19:16] Soldier 6-E**
Put your hands up!
**[19:20] Wolfwood**
Idiots should stand back!
**[19:24] Vash**
Wolfwood?!
**[19:37] Wolfwood**
I told you to stand back, Needle-noggin!
**[19:41] Wolfwood**
I can't let you two kill each other!
**[19:48] Zazie**
The Punisher is in a bit of a bind, it seems!
**[19:56] Legato**
It is indeed a tough choice.
**[19:59] Legato**
If his brother dies, other children
at the orphanage will be next...
**[20:04] Legato**
until they find one
with good drug compatibility.
**[20:06] Zazie**
Humans have such bad taste.
**[20:10] Legato**
He's purely trying to protect too much.
**[20:14] Wolfwood**
Damn it!
**[20:20] Wolfwood**
Just hide already!
**[20:21] Vash**
But—
**[20:22] Wolfwood**
I'll beat your ass myself!
**[20:23] Humpback PA**
*We are currently assessing the situation.*
**[20:26] Humpback PA**
*Please follow the attendants' instructions.*
**[20:28] Humpback PA**
*Emergency deployment in progress.*
**[20:28] Wolfwood**
Hurry!
**[20:36] Legato**
There's no need for emotion.
**[20:39] Legato**
Love, attachment... I simply don't get it.
**[20:45] Legato**
Still can't give up on your little brother?
**[20:49] Legato**
Shouldn't you just accept reality already?
**[21:17] Wolfwood**
The ship's going off course?
**[21:28] Bad Lads**
All that glitters is ours!
**[21:29] Bad Lads**
The most gorgeous and terrifying
bandits you'll ever see!
**[21:32] Bad Lads**
Here we go!
**[21:33] Bad Lads**
Raiders of the desert!
**[21:36] Bad Lads**
Go, go, go!
**[21:39] Wolfwood**
The Bad Lads Gang? Now of all times?
**[21:47] Legato**
So... what's your next move, Punisher?
**[21:53] Legato**
Who will you kill?
**[21:58] Legato**
Who will you save?
**[22:09] Zazie**
I've got you.
**[22:19] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
Your light...
**[22:34] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
If that light never changes
**[22:38] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
And continues to shine high above the sky
**[22:42] [SONG] ED Lyrics**

**[00:12] Humpback Bridge Crew**
*Bridge to all hands!*
**[00:14] Humpback Bridge Crew**
* We've lost control of the helm!*
* Cause unknown!*
**[00:22] Humpback Bridge Crew**
*We're off course!*
**[00:28] Humpback Bridge Crew**
*At this rate, we'll ram into Hopeland!*
**[00:32] Wolfwood**
Oh, no...
**[00:34] Wolfwood**
That's where the orphanage is!
**[00:55] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
My tears scattered like bits of paper
**[00:59] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
Scared of the unknowable tomorrow
**[01:02] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
I lived the same day over and over,
back and forth
**[01:06] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
But a new morning never came
**[01:10] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
All the reasons to calm down
**[01:12] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
Are just some moments until the crash
**[01:17] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
I'm no longer the one that everyone knows
**[01:20] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
Took off the fragile armor
**[01:24] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
I don't want to lose any more love
**[01:32] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
I don't want to lose any more love
**[01:39] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
There's still no line
between today and tomorrow
**[01:43] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
My waking nightmare doesn't end
**[01:46] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
And yet I won't lose hope
**[01:50] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
And yet there's no night that doesn't end
**[01:56] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
Not here, not here
**[02:14] Bad Lads**
Find the goods!
**[02:15] Bad Lads**
We're taking this ship, gang!
**[02:17] Wolfwood**
Damn it! We're busy here!
**[02:26] Bad Lads**
Crap! Run! Get back!
**[02:28] Bad Lads**
What's with this guy?!
**[02:30] Bad Lads**
Don't hesitate! Push on!
**[02:33] Bad Lads**
It's open! We're taking over!
**[02:35] Wolfwood**
Damn, how many of these goons are there?
**[02:47] Wolfwood**
Move it, Needle-noggin!
If you stay here, we'll just die together!
**[02:51] Bad Lads**
Grab anything that glitters!
**[02:52] Wolfwood**
Get going already!
**[02:54] Bad Lads**
Report to the boss!
**[02:56] Vash**
I'll be right back!
**[02:57] Wolfwood**
That idiot just won't listen!
**[03:01] Wolfwood**
And neither do you!
**[03:14] Wolfwood**
You're staying here!
**[03:33] Wolfwood**
This is my responsibility.
**[03:35] Wolfwood**
So I'll handle it... I'll kill you myself.
**[03:44] Bad Lads**
Let's go!
**[03:45] Bad Lad 7-B**
Come on! Take a good one!
**[03:47] Meryl**
O-Of course... Well, here we go!
**[03:51] Meryl & Bad Lads 7-B through 7-E**
Okay!
**[03:52] Meryl & Bad Lads 7-B through 7-E**
Nice!
**[03:54] Meryl & Bad Lads 7-B through 7-E**
Good!
**[03:55] Bad Lad 7-C**
I can't believe we're gonna be on
the cover of an outlaw magazine!
**[03:58] Bad Lad 7-D**
Man, we've come so far!
**[04:00] Bad Lad 7-E**
Hey, you'd better not use any bad pictures!
**[04:03] Bad Lad 7-E**
I'll gut you and feed
your innards to the Worms!
**[04:06] Bad Lad 7-D**
Don't scare the kid, you idiot!
**[04:08] Bad Lad 7-D**
That was just a joke, okay, little lady?
**[04:11] Bad Lad 7-B**
Hey, laugh more.
**[04:14] Bad Lad 7-B**
Yeah, that's the spirit!
Gotta keep smiling in life, right?
**[04:19] Meryl**
Roberto...
**[04:20] Roberto**
I don't even know.
**[04:27] Bad Lad 7-B**
Who are you?!
**[04:30] Meryl**
Vash?!
**[04:32] Vash**
What are you guys doing here?
**[04:33] Meryl**
Er, gee, I wonder...
**[04:36] Roberto**
Where's the undertaker?
**[04:38] Vash**
He's...
**[04:41] Meryl**
More of them!
**[04:42] Vash**
Stand back.
**[04:44] Vash**
Sorry. I'm in a hurry.
**[05:05] Soldier 7-A**
Monsters...
**[05:06] Soldier 7-B**
H-H-Hey!
**[05:07] Soldiers**
Run! They'll kill us all!
**[05:13] Meryl**
Who is Vash, really?
**[05:16] Roberto**
Not human, that's for sure.
**[05:28] Livio**
Catch up...
**[05:31] Livio**
I have to catch up.
**[05:34] (Flashback) Young Livio**
I have to catch up.
**[05:37] (Flashback) Young Livio**
I have to be like Nico one day...
**[05:42] Livio**
I have to catch up to him...
**[05:46] Wolfwood**
Livio, you were always following me around.
**[05:51] Wolfwood**
You're such a pain.
**[05:52] Wolfwood**
You... need to stop chasing after me.
**[06:00] Wolfwood**
You... Things would've been
better off without you around.
**[06:10] Wolfwood**
Wait for me in hell.
**[06:17] Wolfwood**
Needle-noggin?!
**[06:19] Zazie**
Aww, it got shot.
**[06:22] Legato**
Hurry up and prepare the next eye.
**[06:25] Zazie**
Ooh, so scary.
**[06:40] Wolfwood**
Why'd you come back?!
**[06:42] Vash**
He's important to you, right?
**[06:45] Vash**
I'll help.
**[06:46] Wolfwood**
What? Enough already!
**[06:49] Wolfwood**
If I could do it, I would have by now!
**[06:53] Vash**
Bring back his real self!
**[06:57] Vash**
There has to be *something* he'd never forget!
**[07:02] Wolfwood**
Needle-noggin!
**[07:06] Wolfwood**
That blabbermouth...
**[07:08] Wolfwood**
Who's behind this?
**[07:46] Wolfwood**
Something he'd never forget. Right.
**[07:57] Meryl**
Undertaker?
**[07:58] Wolfwood**
This ends...
**[08:02] Wolfwood**
right now.
**[08:06] Wolfwood**
Wake up already.
**[08:08] Wolfwood**
You've always been like this.
**[08:10] Wolfwood**
Whenever something bad happens,
you hide under the blankets.
**[08:24] (Flashback) Young Wolfwood**
Livio.
**[08:31] Livio**
Nico...
**[08:34] Wolfwood**
Livio?
**[08:43] Master Chapel**
*Remember this. Remember who you are.*
**[08:46] Master Chapel**
*Kill all who stand in our way.*
**[08:49] Master Chapel**
* Based on absolute veneration,*
* fueled by complete self-sacrifice...*
**[08:53] Master Chapel**
*The perfect executor.*
**[08:56] Master Chapel**
*We are the Eye of Michael.*
**[09:11] Wolfwood**
Livio!
**[09:16] Wolfwood**
Livio!
**[09:25] Sailor A**
Stop this ship already!
**[09:29] Sailor B**
It's no use! The rudder won't respond!
**[09:30] Sailor B**
Damn it! What's going on?!
**[09:31] Sailor C**
This is bad. If we don't do something...
**[09:34] Sailor C**
we'll ram straight into Hopeland!
**[09:37] Sailor C**
We'll take out the whole town!
**[09:40] Meryl**
Something's wrong with the ship.
**[09:43] Roberto**
What's going on?
**[09:45] Wolfwood**
Who did this?!
**[09:49] Zazie**
Is this what you wanted?
**[09:50] Legato**
Lack of faith is the real problem.
**[09:53] Legato**
There's no need for emotion.
**[09:56] Legato**
Without his little brother, without the
orphanage, he can be the perfect believer.
**[10:01] Zazie**
So that's why you sent the brother in.
**[10:03] Legato**
I just want to spread
the good word. That's all.
**[10:09] Legato**
Why is that so hard?
**[10:12] Zazie**
I think it's a misunderstanding.
**[10:15] Legato**
I've had enough. I'll take out
the orphanage by force.
**[10:20] Legato**
With his brother and the orphanage gone,
I'm sure he'll change his mind.
**[10:29] Legato**
This is *my* version of love...
**[10:37] Legato**
Punisher.
**[10:41] Sailor D**
*What's going on?! The upper deck is moving!*
**[10:45] Sailor E**
*We don't know!*
**[10:47] Vash**
That's... an ion cannon.
**[10:50] Meryl**
Ion cannon?!
**[10:51] Roberto**
C'mon, you gotta be kidding me.
**[10:53] Roberto**
Not only is the ship going berserk,
there's also a huge cannon?
**[10:57] Roberto**
Welp, I say it's time to throw in the towel.
**[11:00] Meryl**
Roberto!
**[11:03] Roberto**
I don't know who orchestrated this,
but we're done.
**[11:07] Wolfwood**
That car...
**[11:08] Wolfwood**
What are they doing here?
**[11:11] Zazie**
Hi!
**[11:15] Wolfwood**
We're stopping both the
ion cannon and the ship.
**[11:18] Roberto**
Seriously?
**[11:20] Meryl**
Do you know how?
**[11:21] Wolfwood**
Of course I frickin' don't!
**[11:22] Meryl**
Huh?
**[11:23] Wolfwood**
But we'll make it happen with guts and grit!
**[11:25] Meryl**
Huh? That's nonsense.
**[11:27] Vash**
Follow me!
**[11:29] Roberto**
H-Hang on!
**[11:32] Meryl**
Why does this ship even
have an ion cannon?
**[11:34] Vash**
It was originally for destroying obstacles.
**[11:36] Vash**
The ship uses parts from the Spacefaring Age.
**[11:40] Vash**
And this is...
**[11:47] Meryl**
The control room?
**[11:49] Roberto**
Well, damn, it's actually a spaceship.
**[11:52] Meryl**
I've never seen machines like this before.
**[11:57] Vash**
Please work...
**[12:07] Meryl**
You did it!
**[12:08] Vash**
No, not yet.
**[12:13] Vash**
It's not working... I can't move the shaft.
**[12:16] Meryl**
So you can't stop it?
**[12:18] Vash**
The only way now is to turn
the ship or the cannon manually.
**[12:22] Roberto**
What? This huge thing?
**[12:26] Roberto**
You can't be serious. That's—
**[12:29] Wolfwood**
Fine. I'll do it.
**[12:32] Wolfwood**
It's the only way, right?!
**[12:35] Zazie**
Just be careful with the plant, okay?
**[12:38] Legato**
But of course. We'll bring it home
without so much as a scratch.
**[12:46] Vash**
There's no time.
**[12:47] Wolfwood**
That's obvious!
**[12:48] Vash**
Take care of the cannon!
**[12:49] Wolfwood**
Ugh, damn it!
**[13:38] Wolfwood**
Okay.
**[13:42] Wolfwood**
Hey! Watch what you're doing!
**[14:09] Humpback AI**
* Main cannon energy charging.*
* Forty percent charged and rising.*
**[14:14] (Flashback) Vash**
Once we move the cannon,
I want you to activate the trigger mechanism!
**[14:18] Humpback AI**
*Initiating firing sequence shortly.*
**[14:20] Roberto**
Let's go, newbie.
**[14:22] Roberto**
I found a lifeboat. We can still make it.
**[14:26] Meryl**
What? What are you talking about?
**[14:28] Roberto**
We're not risking our lives.
That was our deal.
**[14:33] Roberto**
What's your job? It's to survive
and write an article about this.
**[14:39] Roberto**
Stop trying to be a hero.
We're both just normal people.
**[14:43] Meryl**
You don't believe they can move the cannon?
**[14:46] Roberto**
Or stop the ship. Now let's go.
**[14:52] Bad Lads**
Time to get out of here!
**[15:09] Wolfwood**
Damn it all to hell...
**[15:22] Wolfwood**
There's no way!
**[15:25] Wolfwood**
Any idiot would know this is impossible.
**[15:28] Vash**
Buy us some time!
**[15:29] Roberto**
Come on, newbie, that's an order!
**[15:32] Humpback AI**
*Sixty percent charged and rising.*
**[15:35] Meryl**
I'm sorry, Roberto.
Please go on without me.
**[15:38] Meryl**
I'm staying put.
**[15:39] Roberto**
You fool! You'll die here!
**[15:42] Meryl**
I know this is stupid!
**[15:44] Meryl**
So I won't blame anyone for running away.
**[15:48] Meryl**
But me? I'm sick of it!
**[15:53] Meryl**
I regret what happened in Jeneora Rock.
**[15:58] Meryl**
If only I had held on to Tonis,
**[16:02] Meryl**
he wouldn't have lost his arm.
**[16:05] Meryl**
I've regretted it all this time.
**[16:08] Meryl**
And if I run away now,
I'll feel the same way.
**[16:14] Meryl**
So...
**[16:17] Meryl**
I'm staying right here!
**[16:20] Humpback AI**
*Eighty percent charged.*
**[16:32] Vash**
I'm sorry, Wolfwood.
**[16:34] Wolfwood**
What're you going on about now?
**[16:40] Vash**
There *was* something you wanted
to protect more than anything else.
**[16:45] Wolfwood**
Enough already! This isn't the time!
**[16:48] Humpback AI**
* Main cannon firing sequence*
* 90 percent complete.*
**[16:52] Humpback AI**
*Ninety-one. Ninety-two.*
**[16:55] Wolfwood**
Save it for after everything works out!
**[16:56] Humpback AI**
*Ninety-three. Ninety-four.*
**[17:03] Humpback AI**
*Ninety-six. Ninety-seven.*
**[17:07] Humpback AI**
*Ninety-eight. Ninety-nine.*
**[17:11] Humpback AI**
* One hundred percent.*
* Plant output at maximum.*
**[17:13] Vash & Wolfwood**
Now!
**[17:15] Meryl**
Right!
**[17:50] Wolfwood**
No time to rest.
**[17:53] Wolfwood**
I'll stop this ship
by making it self-destruct.
**[17:55] Vash**
What about the people on board?
**[17:58] Wolfwood**
This isn't the time for that!
**[18:00] Vash**
I'll save both the town and the ship!
**[18:02] Wolfwood**
If you can't kill anyone,
you can't save anyone!
**[18:06] Vash**
There's a way!
**[18:10] Wolfwood**
Have it your way. Just for today!
**[18:14] Wolfwood**
I *do* owe you one.
**[18:16] Wolfwood**
But if the orphanage doesn't survive this,
**[18:19] Wolfwood**
I'll hurt you so bad you'll wish
you were dead before I kill you.
**[18:25] Vash**
Wolfwood...
**[18:26] Wolfwood**
Shut up! I'm the Punisher.
**[18:31] Wolfwood**
I'm not like you.
**[18:35] Wolfwood**
I'm Nicholas the Punisher.
**[18:44] Meryl**
Huh?
**[18:45] Humpback AI**
* Warning. Settlement ahead.*
* Emergency evasion advised.*
**[18:51] Meryl**
Wh-What should I do?!
**[18:53] Humpback AI**
*Repeat: Settlement ahead.*
**[18:56] Vash**
You go to the engine room!
**[18:57] Wolfwood**
What about you?!
**[18:58] Vash**
Take care of the engine room!
**[19:26] Vash**
I'm so sorry for this.
**[19:35] Vash**
I need your help.
**[19:44] Humpback AI**
* Warning. Approaching settlement.*
* Please take evasive action.*
**[19:51] Sailor**
Who are you?!
**[19:52] Wolfwood**
Out of the way!
**[19:56] Humpback AI**
*Repeat: Please take evasive action.*
**[20:06] Wolfwood**
Stop already!
**[20:54] Sailor**
W-We stopped...
**[21:05] Legato**
A sandstorm?
**[21:09] Legato**
Is that your doing?
**[21:11] Zazie**
Of course not. Can I go home now?
**[21:14] Legato**
Not yet. Go pick up Double Fang.
**[21:19] Legato**
He's still of use.
**[21:30] Meryl**
Vash?!
**[21:32] Wolfwood**
Where'd Needle-noggin go?
**[21:35] Meryl**
The only place we haven't
checked is the plant room.
**[21:39] Meryl**
Vash!
**[22:08] Meryl**
Vash...
**[22:12] Meryl**
That pattern...
**[22:16] Meryl**
A plant...?
**[22:20] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
Your light...
**[22:34] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
If that light never changes
**[22:38] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
And continues to shine high above the sky
**[22:42] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
Even when I'm lost,
even when I'm struggling
**[22:47] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
I'll continue to search for you
**[22:51] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
Even on days of sickness or sadness
**[22:55] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
I'll open the window to a new morning
**[23:00] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
I'm moving forward, I'm standing still
**[23:04] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
Tell the people who are praying
**[23:07] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
But today this flower
before me is praising you
**[23:13] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
My song is a song of joy and wishes
**[23:16] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
Yes, I'm reaching out
**[23:19] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
But you're too high up
in the evening stars
**[23:24] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
But today this flower
before me is praising you
**[23:30] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
My song is a song of joy and wishes
**[23:34] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
Yes, I try to reach out
**[23:36] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
But you're too high up
in the evening stars

**[00:03] Rem**
*There! We're rolling.*
**[00:05] Rem**
*Today is the twins' first birthday!*
**[00:09] Rem**
*It's already been a year, huh?*
**[00:12] Rem**
*It really went by in a flash.*
**[00:14] Young Knives**
*You made food for me again.*
**[00:16] Young Vash**
*Come on! Let's eat already!*
**[00:19] Young Knives**
*I don't have to eat like Vash does.*
**[00:22] Young Vash**
*Hey, I'm a plant, too.*
**[00:25] Young Knives**
*This is such a waste.*
**[00:26] Rem**
*It doesn't matter whether you eat it or not.*
**[00:29] Rem**
*It's about making sure everyone gets a share.*
**[00:32] Rem**
*It's not a waste at all.*
**[00:33] Young Knives**
*Rem, the recording light's off.*
**[00:35] Young Vash**
*Oh, you're right.*
**[00:36] Rem**
*What?!*
**[00:41] Rem**
*Hey, you two!*
**[00:49] Young Vash**
You're watching that again?
**[00:51] Young Knives**
You're such a doting parent.
**[00:53] Rem**
Oh, you didn't know?
**[00:55] Rem**
I'm the most doting parent in the universe...
**[00:57] Rem**
of the cutest twins in the universe.
**[01:01] Young Vash**
Let's do a birthday party again next year.
**[01:04] Young Knives**
You must be joking.
**[01:05] Rem**
We will. For sure.
**[01:28] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
My tears scattered like bits of paper
**[01:32] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
Scared of the unknowable tomorrow
**[01:35] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
I lived the same day over and over,
back and forth
**[01:39] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
But a new morning never came
**[01:43] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
All the reasons to calm down
**[01:45] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
Are just some moments until the crash
**[01:50] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
I'm no longer the one that everyone knows
**[01:53] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
Took off the fragile armor
**[01:57] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
I don't want to lose any more love
**[02:05] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
I don't want to lose any more love
**[02:12] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
There's still no line
between today and tomorrow
**[02:15] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
My waking nightmare doesn't end
**[02:19] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
And yet I won't lose hope
**[02:23] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
And yet there's no night that doesn't end
**[02:29] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
Not here, not here
**[02:55] Young Vash**
Nai? Where'd you go?
**[03:23] Young Knives**
A brilliant success! I finally did it!
**[03:27] Young Vash**
But you killed even *Rem!*
**[03:29] Young Knives**
Don't you scold me.
**[03:31] Young Knives**
You're my accomplice.
**[03:34] Young Knives**
You're the one who gave me
the program access code!
**[03:47] Young Knives**
Right, Vash?
**[04:02] Young Vash**
I have to find Rem... Our ship...
**[04:19] Young Vash**
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
**[04:22] Young Vash**
I never imagined anything
like this would happen!
**[04:46] Young Vash**
I want this all to end...
**[04:50] Young Vash**
I want to disappear...
**[04:56] Brad**
Hey, it's a kid! He's still alive!
**[05:05] Luida**
I knew it...
**[05:07] Luida**
There's no mistaking it.
That's a plant reaction.
**[05:10] Brad**
He looks human to me.
**[05:16] Luida**
"Independents."
**[05:18] Brad**
Inde... whatsits?
**[05:20] Luida**
Plants are usually cloned
from an original cell.
**[05:24] Luida**
But on rare occasion,
plants can actually give birth.
**[05:27] Brad**
You're telling me this plant was
born from another? Seriously?
**[05:33] Brad**
What risks does he pose?
**[05:35] Brad**
Shouldn't we toss him in a case
like the other normal plants?
**[05:39] Luida**
No... I don't think so.
**[05:41] Brad**
You're not sure? Who knows better, then?
**[05:45] Luida**
One of the Sinners in molecular plant studies.
Or maybe Conrad, the team leader.
**[05:49] Brad**
Conrad? From Ship Five?
**[05:54] Young Vash**
Where am I?
**[05:56] Brad**
Hey, he talks!
**[05:57] Luida**
Well, his genetic makeup is very human.
**[05:59] Brad**
That's not what I meant!
**[06:01] Luida**
What *did* you mean, then? You're too rattled.
**[06:02] Brad**
Ugh! Whatever.
**[06:04] Luida**
Do you remember which ship you were on?
**[06:10] Young Vash**
Ship Five.
**[06:12] Young Vash**
Do you know what happened
to the ship? To Rem?
**[06:19] Luida**
Officer Rem Saverem,
on duty at the time of the crash...
**[06:25] Luida**
Do you know her?
**[06:27] Young Vash**
She raised us.
**[06:30] Brad**
"Us"?
**[06:31] Luida**
Were there other Independents?
**[06:35] Young Vash**
Just one more... But he's probably dead.
**[06:39] Brad**
So you ditched everyone and ran on your own?
**[06:43] Brad**
What a shit.
**[06:44] Luida**
Come on, Brad!
**[06:47] Brad**
He's hiding something.
**[06:49] Luida**
You think he's suspicious? He's just a kid.
**[06:52] Brad**
I'll go find Ship Five.
**[06:54] Luida**
It's been over eighty hours since the crash.
**[06:57] Luida**
There's very little chance anyone survived.
**[06:59] Brad**
Maybe they activated their gravity plant
in the nick of time like we did.
**[07:08] Young Vash**
Why did you save me?
**[07:10] Luida**
Huh?
**[07:11] Young Vash**
I wanted to die there.
**[07:14] Luida**
We're only here because we got lucky.
**[07:18] Luida**
So we survivors can't talk like that,
even if we don't mean it.
**[07:29] Luida**
Let's think about what
we can do starting now.
**[07:37] Luida**
What's your name?
**[07:39] Young Vash**
Vash.
**[07:40] Luida**
I'm Luida Leitner.
**[07:42] Luida**
I wound up in charge of this ship, Ship Three.
**[07:48] Luida**
Can I ask you a few questions?
**[07:50] Luida**
What do you produce as a generator?
**[07:54] Luida**
Electricity? Chemical compounds?
Or maybe amino acids?
**[07:58] Young Vash**
Nothing.
**[07:59] Young Vash**
Unlike normal plants, I can't make anything.
**[08:03] Young Vash**
The other one wasn't like me.
All I do is eat, drink, and sleep.
**[08:09] Luida**
Right. Like a human.
**[08:13] Young Vash**
You told me to think about
what I can do starting now...
**[08:17] Young Vash**
But I can't do anything. Nothing at all.
**[08:35] Luida**
Brad called in.
**[08:38] Luida**
He rescued survivors from Ship Five,
but Rem wasn't there.
**[08:43] Luida**
The ship was in ruins,
so I'm sorry. She probably...
**[08:52] Luida**
Rem stayed aboard until the bitter end,
trying to stop the crash.
**[08:56] Luida**
The survivors told us.
**[09:04] Luida**
This is all you could find of Rem's?
**[09:07] Brad**
We spent two weeks in the rubble to find this.
**[09:10] Brad**
I don't want to hear any complaints.
**[09:12] Luida**
I'm sorry. Did you find anything else?
**[09:15] Brad**
We recovered the black box.
**[09:17] Brad**
It's badly damaged, though.
Not sure if we can analyze it.
**[09:21] Brad**
There's also this, but it's no good.
**[09:26] Luida**
Ship Five was destroyed,
and ours is in pretty bad shape...
**[09:31] Luida**
We're stuck.
**[09:32] Brad**
So, how long are you going
to keep that kid around?
**[09:38] Luida**
Didn't like the food?
**[09:40] Young Vash**
I'm not going to eat it.
You should stop bringing it to me.
**[09:44] Young Vash**
It's a waste.
**[09:46] Luida**
It doesn't matter whether you eat it or not.
**[09:52] Luida**
We found this in the ruins of Ship Five.
**[09:58] Luida**
She really cared for you.
**[10:02] Luida**
Believe in yourself. There has to be
something that only you can do.
**[10:12] Young Vash**
I can't do anything...
**[10:15] Crew A**
Is that the monster?
**[10:18] Crew B**
Look at him! So grotesque.
**[10:20] Crew C**
Just kill him already.
**[10:28] (Flashback) Rem**
Meeting you has brought me so much joy...
**[11:11] Brad**
There's no point keeping him alive.
**[11:13] Brad**
Like he said, he's a plant
that doesn't produce anything.
**[11:16] Brad**
Luida, are you listening?
**[11:18] Luida**
Hold on. I'm almost done reconstructing this.
**[11:22] Luida**
Got it!
**[11:24] Rem**
*Critical error in navigation settings.*
**[11:26] Rem**
*Time to emergency cryosleep recovery is...*
**[11:28] Rem**
* One hour?! They won't make it*
* in time at this rate...*
**[11:32] Rem**
* The injection data was replaced?!*
* Who did this...?*
**[11:32] Luida**
Wait, is this...
**[11:36] Rem**
* Manually repairing trajectory control system.*
* Control thrusters at maximum.*
**[11:41] Rem**
*Please hurry!*
**[11:43] Brad**
It's the electricity plant!
**[11:47] Luida**
The flower... is opening up?
**[11:52] Luida**
What is this?
Its vitals are all over the place.
**[11:55] Brad**
What's causing it?
**[11:56] Luida**
I don't know.
**[11:58] Luida**
If, let's say, the plants aren't compatible
with this planet's environment...
**[12:03] Brad**
We all die out here?
**[12:06] Brad**
After all we've been through to survive...
**[12:09] Brad**
Isn't there anything we can do?
**[12:12] Civilian A**
Hey! Come to the cell!
**[12:16] Luida**
What's wrong?
**[12:18] Civilian A**
It's the kid!
**[12:21] Young Vash**
Hey! Did something happen to the plant?!
**[12:24] Luida**
How did you know?
**[12:25] Brad**
Must have overheard it somehow.
**[12:28] Luida**
I'm sorry, but we're busy.
I have to get back there...
**[12:31] Young Vash**
Its voice! I can hear it!
**[12:33] Young Vash**
The plant is calling out for help!
**[12:36] Brad**
Don't trust him.
He's just making stuff up to get out.
**[12:38] Young Vash**
Let me meet the plant!
Its voice is fading!
**[12:42] Brad**
He's gotta be lying!
**[12:45] Young Vash**
At this rate, the plant...
**[12:49] Brad**
Luida.
**[12:52] Luida**
You heard the reconstruction earlier, right?
**[12:54] Brad**
Huh?
**[12:55] Luida**
I don't know who Rem was, but...
**[12:57] Brad**
Whoa, whoa.
**[12:58] Luida**
She sacrificed herself trying
to stop that great crash.
**[13:03] Luida**
I'm sure it's safe.
**[13:05] Brad**
Hey!
**[13:06] Luida**
Rem trusted him. I do, too!
**[13:19] Rem**
*Do you remember that story I told you before?*
**[13:23] Rem**
* We all have a blank ticket*
* with no listed destination.*
**[13:27] Rem**
*What you put there is up to you.*
**[13:31] Rem**
*No matter the darkness you find yourself in,*
**[13:33] Rem**
* you'll always have that ticket*
* waiting for you to write in where to go.*
**[13:38] Rem**
*Nai, Vash... The two of you will be just fine.*
**[13:51] Young Vash**
I can hear you. Don't worry.
**[14:10] Young Vash**
I'm right here.
**[14:23] Luida**
Thank you, Vash.
You saved a lot of lives today.
**[14:27] Young Vash**
It was nothing. I just did what I could.
**[14:38] Luida**
Come with me.
**[14:45] Young Vash**
What's this?
**[14:46] Luida**
Your room!
**[14:48] Luida**
Starting today, you're officially
a resident of Ship Three.
**[14:53] Luida**
I'm sorry for how we treated you before now.
**[15:04] Young Vash**
Thank you, Luida!
**[15:06] Luida**
Thank Brad, too. I wouldn't have been
able to convince everyone on my own.
**[15:11] Young Vash**
Brad?
**[15:12] Brad**
Hey, I told you not to tell him.
**[15:15] Luida**
He's nicer than he looks.
**[15:19] Luida**
Instead of handcuffs,
you'll have a guard from now on.
**[15:22] Luida**
Bear with us for a little while.
**[15:23] Luida**
We won't need that before long either.
**[15:25] Brad**
Who knows? I still don't trust him.
**[15:29] Brad**
One wrong move,
and I'll let you have it.
**[15:31] Luida**
Sure, sure.
**[15:33] Luida**
Oh, and Vash, about what we do starting now...
**[15:39] Luida**
Could you take a look
at the other plants as well?
**[16:29] Brad**
Are you tired?
**[16:31] Teenage Vash**
Yeah.
**[16:32] Brad**
This is our fifth trip this year.
**[16:35] Teenage Vash**
Thanks for coming along, Brad.
**[16:38] Brad**
Like I said, my mission's
just to keep an eye on you.
**[16:44] Brad**
Besides, this is heaven compared
to how things were after the crash.
**[16:54] Brad**
Have a drink. It's a long ways back.
**[17:00] Teenage Vash**
You're a nice guy, Brad.
**[17:02] Teenage Vash**
Though you look scary.
**[17:03] Brad**
Give that back.
**[17:04] Teenage Vash**
No way!
**[17:05] Brad**
You little...
**[17:07] Brad**
Jeez.
**[17:11] Luida**
Vash.
**[17:13] Teenage Vash**
What's up?
**[17:17] Luida**
Ta-da!
**[17:18] Luida**
This is for you, Vash!
It's from everyone on Ship Three.
**[17:22] Teenage Vash**
Wow, it's brand new!
Clothes are so hard to get.
**[17:30] Teenage Vash**
What a pretty shade of red.
**[17:32] Luida**
Is it too flashy?
**[17:34] Teenage Vash**
No, I like red. Rem did, too.
**[17:38] Teenage Vash**
She raised lots of red geraniums.
**[17:40] Luida**
Geraniums?
**[17:42] Teenage Vash**
Yeah.
**[17:44] Teenage Vash**
Thank you. I'm so glad
I get to live with you all.
**[17:48] Teenage Vash**
This is my home.
**[17:49] Luida**
Your home, huh? I love that!
**[17:53] Luida**
I've been thinking for a while now
that "Ship Three" is a little bland.
**[17:58] Luida**
Starting today, we'll call this place home!
**[18:03] Luida**
Yours and ours.
**[18:13] Teenage Vash**
This is still a bit big for me.
**[18:17] Teenage Vash**
Home, huh...
**[18:25] Luida**
You're getting along with Vash
better than I thought.
**[18:28] Brad**
Not really. I'm just making sure
he doesn't do anything bad.
**[18:33] Luida**
You just can't be honest.
**[18:36] Luida**
That's... the black box.
I thought you couldn't repair it.
**[18:40] Brad**
Not back then. But it's been
five years. Things change.
**[18:44] Brad**
The tech, my skills...
**[18:46] Brad**
Lots of people are still blaming themselves
**[18:49] Brad**
because we don't know what caused the crash.
**[18:55] Brad**
I did it!
**[19:00] Brad**
Hey, is that...
**[19:04] Young Knives**
*A brilliant success! I finally did it!*
**[19:07] Young Vash**
*But you killed even* Rem!**
**[19:10] Young Knives**
*Don't you scold me.*
**[19:12] Young Knives**
*You're my accomplice.*
**[19:14] Young Knives**
* You're the one who gave me*
* the program access code.*
**[19:18] Luida**
Who's that with Vash?
**[19:20] Brad**
It has to be the other Independent.
He didn't die in the crash after all.
**[19:24] Luida**
Why would he lie about that?
**[19:26] Brad**
Because they're working together, that's why!
**[19:28] Brad**
He's never been on the side of us humans!
**[19:33] Brad**
He's been betraying us this whole time!
**[19:52] Luida**
He heard us.
**[19:54] Brad**
There has to be a clue here
about the other Independent.
**[20:06] Brad**
Find something?
**[20:11] Vash**
* Thanks to everyone, I was able to*
* get back on my feet again.*
**[20:17] Vash**
*I consider all of you as family,*
**[20:21] Vash**
*so I couldn't continue to lie.*
**[20:25] Vash**
*I'm so sorry.*
**[20:29] Vash**
* No matter how much you want to*
* forget the past, there is no escape.*
**[20:34] Vash**
*It's time for me to face*
**[20:38] Vash**
* that an Independent will make up*
* for what an Independent did.*
**[20:43] Luida**
"This is my atonement."
**[20:47] Luida**
We have to go after him.
**[20:49] Luida**
Don't stop me.
**[20:50] Brad**
I won't.
**[20:52] Brad**
When you see Vash, please apologize
for me. I said some terrible things.
**[20:58] Luida**
Tell him yourself. I'm bringing him back!
**[21:32] Vash**
Home...
**[21:35] Vash**
Did they save me?
**[22:16] Older Vash**
Nai...
**[22:20] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
Your light...
**[22:34] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
If that light never changes
**[22:38] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
And continues to shine high above the sky
**[22:42] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
Even when I'm lost,
even when I'm struggling
**[22:47] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
I'll continue to search for you
**[22:51] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
Even on days of sickness or sadness
**[22:55] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
I'll open the window to a new morning
**[23:00] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
I'm moving forward, I'm standing still
**[23:04] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
Tell the people who are praying
**[23:07] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
But today this flower
before me is praising you
**[23:13] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
My song is a song of joy and wishes
**[23:16] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
Yes, I'm reaching out
**[23:19] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
But you're too high up
in the evening stars
**[23:24] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
But today this flower
before me is praising you
**[23:30] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
My song is a song of joy and wishes
**[23:33] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
Yes, I try to reach out
**[23:36] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
But you're too high up
in the evening stars

**[01:10] (Flashback) Younger Conrad**
I got what you asked for.
**[01:13] (Flashback) Younger Conrad**
What are you trying to do?
**[01:23] (Flashback) Younger Conrad**
What's that?
**[01:46] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
My tears scattered like bits of paper
**[01:50] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
Scared of the unknowable tomorrow
**[01:53] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
I lived the same day over and over,
back and forth
**[01:57] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
But a new morning never came
**[02:01] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
All the reasons to calm down
**[02:03] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
Are just some moments until the crash
**[02:08] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
I'm no longer the one that everyone knows
**[02:11] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
Took off the fragile armor
**[02:15] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
I don't want to lose any more love
**[02:23] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
I don't want to lose any more love
**[02:30] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
There's still no line
between today and tomorrow
**[02:33] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
My waking nightmare doesn't end
**[02:37] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
And yet I won't lose hope
**[02:41] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
And yet there's no night that doesn't end
**[02:47] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
Not here, not here
**[03:11] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
What is this?
**[03:13] (Flashback) Younger Conrad**
We've hit the production limit.
**[03:16] (Flashback) Younger Conrad**
They put too great a load on the plants.
**[03:20] (Flashback) Younger Conrad**
It cut them off from the higher dimension.
**[03:23] (Flashback) Younger Conrad**
They can't maintain their bodies.
**[03:27] (Flashback) Younger Conrad**
They're already in the terminal stage...
**[03:39] (Flashback) Researcher A**
What are you doing?
**[03:40] (Flashback) Researcher A**
This area is off-limits.
**[03:43] (Flashback) Younger Conrad**
What are you doing?! Why did you continue
to overload them beyond the threshold?
**[03:47] (Flashback) Younger Conrad**
As if they're disposable?!
**[03:48] (Flashback) Researcher A**
Isn't it obvious?
To speed up the reconstruction.
**[03:51] (Flashback) Researcher B**
It's the only way we can hope
to prosper on this planet.
**[03:55] (Flashback) Researcher A**
Now leave. Their Last Run will start soon.
**[03:58] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
"Last Run"?
**[04:00] (Flashback) Younger Conrad**
Let's go.
**[04:02] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
Heal them.
**[04:04] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
Heal them now, Doctor!
**[04:07] (Flashback) Younger Conrad**
It's too late...
**[04:13] (Flashback) Researcher A**
This is it.
**[04:16] (Flashback) Researcher A**
The Last Run...
**[04:18] (Flashback) Researcher A**
When you force a plant that's reached its
production limit to go out of control,
**[04:23] (Flashback) Researcher A**
it uses up all of its remaining energy.
**[04:25] (Flashback) Researcher A**
One final harvest.
**[04:50] (Flashback) Younger Conrad**
I'm sorry. Please forgive us...
**[04:54] (Flashback) Younger Conrad**
Forgive us humans.
**[05:01] (Flashback) Teenage Vash**
Nai...
**[05:20] (Flashback) Teenage Vash**
I knew you were alive.
**[05:23] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
Vash, you must have heard them.
**[05:27] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
Their screams.
**[05:30] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
Now you know.
*This* is the true nature of humanity.
**[05:36] (Flashback) Researcher A**
They're born to serve us humans.
**[05:39] (Flashback) Researcher A**
I'm sure they were happy to be useful.
**[05:43] (Flashback) Researcher A**
Now, we're busy here.
**[05:46] (Flashback) Researcher A**
I'll have to ask you outsiders to leave.
**[05:50] (Flashback) Researcher E**
Hurry it up.
**[05:51] (Flashback) Younger Conrad**
Stop! Don't touch him!
**[05:56] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
Didn't you hear them?
**[05:58] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
Their dying cries?!
**[06:05] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
If so, there's no need for words...
**[06:11] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
Just let me hear your screams.
**[06:16] (Flashback) Researcher C**
Shit!
**[06:21] (Flashback) Teenage Vash**
Stop this, Nai!
**[06:26] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
"Nai," huh?
**[06:29] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
I haven't heard that name in a long time.
**[06:32] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
I now represent my myriad of brethren
spread across the planet.
**[06:37] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
I shall cut down humanity in their stead.
**[06:41] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
I am Millions Knives.
**[06:55] (Flashback) Teenage Vash**
Why? Why did you kill them?
**[06:59] (Flashback) Teenage Vash**
Rem sacrificed herself to save these people!
**[07:01] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
That's right. If it weren't for her meddling,
**[07:06] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
every ship other than the plant carriers
would've been rubble.
**[07:12] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
After all the work I did to swap out
the navigation data for every single ship...
**[07:21] (Flashback) Researcher A**
Get them!
**[07:23] (Flashback) Researcher F**
Don't move!
**[07:25] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
Vash... Let's build a paradise together.
**[07:29] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
Free our brethren from the foul humans.
**[07:34] (Flashback) Teenage Vash**
Plants can't survive without
humans to take care of them.
**[07:38] (Flashback) Teenage Vash**
Remember what Rem said?
**[07:40] (Flashback) Teenage Vash**
Outside of human control, plants use up
all their energy in one burst and die.
**[07:46] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
So you bought into that nonsense...
**[07:50] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
No matter how comfortable,
chains are still chains.
**[07:54] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
But we're different.
**[07:56] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
You and I have our own will,
and we walk freely.
**[07:59] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
*This* is power!
**[08:08] (Flashback) Researcher A**
We had to do this to survive—
**[08:26] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
An evil weapon of the Sinners,
taking lives easily from afar
**[08:30] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
with the twitch of a finger...
**[08:34] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
A fitting arm for a human-lover like you.
**[08:39] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
The plants are the ones who need power.
**[08:43] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
I have what we need.
Now all you and I need to do is proceed.
**[08:49] (Flashback) Teenage Vash**
What are you planning?
**[08:53] (Flashback) Luida**
Vash!
**[08:55] (Flashback) Younger Conrad**
Luida!
**[08:57] (Flashback) Teenage Vash**
What are you doing here?
**[08:59] (Flashback) Luida**
I came to get you. Let's go home together.
**[09:05] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
What a great opportunity. Take aim, Vash.
**[09:08] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
Kill her as your first step.
**[09:12] (Flashback) Luida**
Everyone's waiting for you.
**[09:15] (Flashback) Luida**
Vash!
**[09:17] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
What's wrong? Do it already.
**[09:27] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
You really can't do anything without me.
**[09:39] (Flashback) Teenage Vash**
Nai!
**[09:46] (Flashback) Teenage Vash**
Until the bitter end,
all I did was let Rem protect me!
**[09:51] (Flashback) Teenage Vash**
Because of that, I lost her!
**[09:54] (Flashback) Teenage Vash**
So I won't let you take
anyone else away from me!
**[09:59] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
Vash!
**[10:05] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
You witch...
**[10:08] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
How many times?
**[10:10] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
How many times will you steal him from me?
**[10:18] (Flashback) Teenage Vash**
Stop...
**[10:22] (Flashback) Teenage Vash**
Stop this.
**[10:27] (Flashback) Younger Conrad**
Wh-What's that?!
**[10:35] (Flashback) Teenage Vash**
What...
**[10:38] (Flashback) Teenage Vash**
is this?
**[10:50] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
You fool!
**[10:52] (Flashback) Younger Conrad**
Is that... a gate?
**[11:16] (Flashback) Luida**
Vash!
**[11:17] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
Don't touch him!
**[11:20] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
Don't touch Vash!
**[11:37] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
Just wait for a short while...
A mere century or so.
**[11:43] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
I promise I'll build a world of plants.
**[11:56] (Flashback) Luida**
Vash! Vash!
**[12:00] (Flashback) Luida**
Vash!
**[12:20] Brad**
Hey, Vash. Heard you busted your arm again.
**[12:23] Vash**
Brad...
**[12:26] Brad**
Every time you come back,
you've messed up my masterpiece.
**[12:30] Vash**
I, uh... don't have anything
to say for myself.
**[12:32] Brad**
Come on. Show it to me.
**[12:37] Vash**
You never change, Brad.
**[12:39] Brad**
Look who's talking.
**[12:41] Brad**
Forever young... I'm jealous.
**[12:46] Brad**
Come on. Stay still.
**[12:53] Luida**
Welcome back.
**[12:57] Vash**
I'm home.
**[12:59] Vash**
What about the others?
**[13:00] Luida**
They're safe. Everyone from the Sand Steamer,
the orphanage, and your friends.
**[13:06] Vash**
My friends?
**[13:09] Meryl**
Vash!
**[13:11] Roberto**
Sheesh.
**[13:12] Wolfwood**
Who said anything about being friends?
**[13:15] Vash**
Thank you.
**[13:16] Vash**
You're the reason we managed to stop the ship.
**[13:19] Wolfwood**
Who'd've thought there was a spaceship
hiding here in the sandstorm, though?
**[13:25] Roberto**
Think of it as a form of camouflage.
**[13:28] Meryl**
You folks really saved us.
**[13:31] Meryl**
Have you two known Vash for a long time?
**[13:35] Brad**
Yeah, you could say that.
About 150 years, I guess.
**[13:39] Meryl**
What?!
**[13:40] Roberto**
A century and a half?!
**[13:42] Luida**
Cold sleep.
**[13:44] Brad**
We don't age during that time.
**[13:48] Luida**
We have to maintain this ship
for as long as possible.
**[13:54] Luida**
To that end, many of
the passengers are still asleep.
**[13:59] Wolfwood**
Oh. So it's not eternal life.
**[14:02] Luida**
Of course not.
**[14:04] Luida**
We're only human. Although we have
a little help from technology.
**[14:09] Meryl**
And from plants?
**[14:17] Luida**
Let me show you something.
**[14:24] Meryl**
Wow!
**[14:33] Meryl**
Incredible... What is this place?
**[14:40] Meryl**
So much beautiful green!
**[14:43] Roberto**
Well, color me surprised.
**[14:45] Meryl**
Roberto! Come here, come here!
**[14:49] Roberto**
Now, now...
**[14:51] Meryl**
Ouch...
**[14:54] Meryl**
What are these?
**[14:56] Luida**
These are flora.
**[14:58] Meryl**
Flora?
**[15:00] Luida**
They grow using photosynthesis and multiply.
**[15:03] Luida**
They're a life-form that is
neither human nor Worm.
**[15:07] Meryl**
They're alive?
**[15:09] Luida**
They're made of not just water,
but nutrients as well.
**[15:14] Meryl**
So if we just make more of these...
**[15:18] Roberto**
Is it that simple?
**[15:20] Roberto**
This dome must be supported by plants.
**[15:24] Roberto**
And not just one or two.
**[15:27] Luida**
But the flora can lessen
the load on the plants.
**[15:32] Luida**
Given time, we can spread the
greenery across the entire planet.
**[15:36] Roberto**
Yeah? And how long is that going to take?
Decades? Centuries?
**[15:41] Luida**
No matter how long it takes,
I want to follow the right path.
**[15:47] Luida**
I don't want to justify
wrongdoing just to survive.
**[15:53] Roberto**
You sound like Vash.
**[15:55] Roberto**
"The right path"? Jeez...
**[15:58] Roberto**
There's no place for niceties on this planet.
**[16:03] Roberto**
I don't care for your way of thinking.
**[16:07] Roberto**
But you're free to go your own way.
**[16:11] Roberto**
And I'll go mine.
**[16:12] Roberto**
I just hope we're headed for the same goal.
**[16:16] Luida**
There's one thing I need to tell you.
**[16:18] Roberto**
What?
**[16:20] Luida**
No smoking on the ship.
**[16:24] Meryl**
Right after he sounded so cool for once...
**[16:27] Roberto**
Meryl! Go find somewhere I can smoke!
**[16:31] Meryl**
Yeah, yeah. Or you could do it yourself—
**[16:38] Meryl**
Roberto! Did you just call me "Meryl"?
**[16:42] Meryl**
You finally said my name!
**[16:43] Roberto**
Huh? Did I?
**[16:45] Meryl**
You did!
**[16:46] Roberto**
I don't believe it.
**[16:47] Meryl**
What do you mean? You just said it!
**[16:50] Roberto**
Didn't happen.
**[16:51] Meryl**
Come on! Say it again!
**[16:52] Roberto**
Didn't happen! Didn't happen! Didn't happen!
**[16:56] Wolfwood**
Okay, Needle-noggin...
I got something to ask you.
**[17:01] Vash**
Hm?
**[17:03] Wolfwood**
You don't, by any chance,
**[17:04] Wolfwood**
think you can make up with
Millions Knives, do you?
**[17:12] Wolfwood**
C'mon, Needle-noggin...
**[17:14] Vash**
I won't kill.
**[17:16] Vash**
I will never kill anyone again.
**[17:20] Vash**
I'll find a way to save them all...
**[17:23] Vash**
The humans, the plants, and Nai.
**[17:28] Wolfwood**
More empty words.
**[17:31] Wolfwood**
I swear to you the day will come
when you have to pick between them.
**[17:36] Brad**
You're just like how I used to be.
**[17:38] Wolfwood**
Huh?
**[17:39] Brad**
Trying to bite Vash's head off,
thinking everything's all black and white.
**[17:44] Brad**
I was like that as a young one.
**[17:47] Wolfwood**
Big talk, old man.
**[17:51] Brad**
Vash is tough.
**[17:53] Brad**
You'll learn that yourself if you hang around.
**[17:58] Vash**
Luida!
**[18:00] Luida**
A swarm of Worms...
**[18:06] Vash**
Is this...
**[18:08] Luida**
Look.
**[18:11] Wolfwood**
It's Zazie. No doubt about it.
**[18:25] Meryl**
Where are we?
**[18:30] Meryl**
Roberto! Wake up, Roberto!
**[18:37] Roberto**
Hm? It's night already?
**[18:40] Meryl**
Are you okay?
**[18:42] Roberto**
Hey there, newbie. You good?
**[18:46] Roberto**
So... where are we?
**[18:50] Meryl**
I don't know.
**[18:52] Roberto**
A smoking area, maybe?
**[18:54] Meryl**
Keep dreaming.
**[18:56] Zazie**
Welcome to the third of the seven cities.
**[19:00] Zazie**
This is JuLai, a crashed plant carrier.
**[19:04] Meryl**
You there... Have we met?
**[19:06] Zazie**
Oh, right, you haven't seen me
in this outfit before.
**[19:11] Roberto**
Did Knives send you?
**[19:13] Meryl**
Huh?
**[19:14] Zazie**
Let's talk about something more interesting.
**[19:17] Zazie**
This planet you call Noman's Land
now stands at a crossroads.
**[19:24] Zazie**
So I want to find out...
**[19:26] Zazie**
Who do we Worms side with?
You humans? Or the plants?
**[19:36] Zazie**
It's no use.
**[19:38] Zazie**
This body is just a conduit.
**[19:41] Roberto**
Who are you to make such a grand judgment?
**[19:46] Zazie**
This is *our* planet.
**[19:49] Zazie**
We were here long before you came.
**[19:52] Zazie**
Besides, you're repeat offenders.
**[19:56] Meryl**
"Repeat offenders"?
**[20:05] Zazie**
You humans messed up your
home planet, Earth, right?
**[20:10] Zazie**
That's why you sent colony ships
to this new planet.
**[20:14] Meryl**
What? That can't be...
**[20:17] Zazie**
It's true.
**[20:33] Zazie**
Earth used to be a lush place
of bountiful resources.
**[20:38] Zazie**
It was full of life, and not just human.
**[20:43] Zazie**
But...
**[20:47] Zazie**
You humans gobbled it all up.
**[20:54] Meryl**
That's a lie.
**[20:57] Zazie**
Why do you think the colony ships crashed?
**[21:00] Zazie**
Those twins did it.
**[21:02] Meryl**
Twins?
**[21:03] Roberto**
That's crazy talk.
**[21:05] Meryl**
Do you mean Vash?
**[21:08] Meryl**
What has he been doing in the
century and a half since the crash?
**[21:14] Zazie**
Maybe for plants,
a century and a half is nothing.
**[21:32] Meryl**
These are...
**[21:33] Zazie**
Knives brought them here from all over.
**[21:36] Roberto**
Knives did?
**[21:38] Conrad**
What are you doing?
**[21:41] Zazie**
Whoops, he's discovered us.
**[21:44] Conrad**
So it's you, the Beast.
**[21:47] Conrad**
Why did you bring them here?
**[21:49] Zazie**
I don't take orders from you.
**[21:51] Zazie**
Knives accepted me as a guest.
**[21:55] Meryl**
Please tell me!
**[21:57] Meryl**
Why collect the red plants?
**[22:00] Conrad**
You don't need to know.
**[22:03] Zazie**
I'll tell you.
But you have to tell me in return...
**[22:09] Zazie**
Who will benefit this planet more? Humans?
**[22:12] Zazie**
Or plants?
**[22:16] Zazie**
Which do you think?
**[22:20] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
Your light...
**[22:34] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
If that light never changes
**[22:38] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
And continues to shine high above the sky
**[22:42] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
Even when I'm lost,
even when I'm struggling
**[22:47] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
I'll continue to search for you
**[22:51] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
Even on days of sickness or sadness
**[22:55] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
I'll open the window to a new morning
**[23:00] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
I'm moving forward, I'm standing still
**[23:04] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
Tell the people who are praying
**[23:07] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
But today this flower
before me is praising you
**[23:13] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
My song is a song of joy and wishes
**[23:16] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
Yes, I'm reaching out
**[23:19] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
But you're too high up
in the evening stars
**[23:24] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
But today this flower
before me is praising you
**[23:30] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
My song is a song of joy and wishes
**[23:33] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
Yes, I try to reach out
**[23:36] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
But you're too high up
in the evening stars

**[00:42] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
My tears scattered like bits of paper
**[00:46] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
Scared of the unknowable tomorrow
**[00:49] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
I lived the same day over and over,
back and forth
**[00:53] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
But a new morning never came
**[00:57] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
All the reasons to calm down
**[00:59] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
Are just some moments until the crash
**[01:04] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
I'm no longer the one that everyone knows
**[01:07] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
Took off the fragile armor
**[01:11] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
I don't want to lose any more love
**[01:19] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
I don't want to lose any more love
**[01:26] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
There's still no line

**[01:30] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
My waking nightmare doesn't end
**[01:33] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
And yet I won't lose hope
**[01:37] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
And yet there's no night that doesn't end
**[01:43] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
Not here, not here
**[01:59] Zazie**
Who will benefit this planet more? Humans?
**[02:01] Zazie**
Or plants?
**[02:04] Zazie**
Which do you think?
**[02:05] Meryl**
Whose side are you on?
**[02:08] Zazie**
Humans really like
dividing things into groups.
**[02:12] Zazie**
The Worms take no sides.
We *are* the planet.
**[02:19] Zazie**
Here's what Knives thinks...
**[02:21] Zazie**
You greedy humans aren't capable
of using plants correctly.
**[02:25] Zazie**
In fact,
**[02:26] Zazie**
you'll devour them just like you
did your previous planet, Earth.
**[02:32] Zazie**
You know about the Last Run, don't you?
**[02:35] Roberto**
Is that why you're gathering red plants?
**[02:39] Zazie**
Better than wasting them, don't you think?
**[02:42] Zazie**
So, humans or plants?
Which will benefit this planet more?
**[02:47] Meryl**
I know we can't keep going the way we are.
**[02:50] Meryl**
There are people raising flora,
a replacement for plants.
**[02:53] Conrad**
You mean Luida.
**[02:55] Conrad**
Luida is a geoplant specialist.
**[02:59] Conrad**
I'm sure she's pursuing her own way of
saving the human race on this planet.
**[03:03] Conrad**
I am doing the same.
**[03:05] Meryl**
You are? That's not the impression I got.
**[03:10] Conrad**
Follow me.
**[03:18] Roberto**
Where do you think you're going?
**[03:19] Meryl**
You're not coming?
**[03:21] Roberto**
Is there a clearance sale
on your life or something?
**[03:25] Meryl**
This is our chance to find out
what Millions Knives is after.
**[03:32] Zazie**
Stolen from right under my nose...
**[03:41] Vash**
This is JuLai...
**[03:45] Vash**
It's changed quite a bit.
**[03:52] Wolfwood**
JuLai, the third city...
**[03:54] Wolfwood**
A fortified metropolis,
largest of the seven cities.
**[03:58] Wolfwood**
Thanks to her monopoly
on water-producing plants,
**[04:01] Wolfwood**
she can buy up all the bullets she wants.
**[04:06] Wolfwood**
I'd call her opulent.
**[04:26] Wolfwood**
You dipshit!
**[04:28] Chuck Lee**
I remember you!
**[04:31] Chuck Lee**
Hey! Hold it!
**[04:33] Chuck Lee**
Stop it! Stop right there!
**[04:43] Soldier X**
Halt! Or I'll shoot!
**[04:48] Chuck Lee**
That's right. Be good little boys.
**[04:52] Wolfwood**
All right, Officer...
**[04:54] Wolfwood**
What'd we do to deserve this?
**[04:57] Chuck Lee**
Don't play dumb! He's the Humanoid Typhoon.
**[05:00] Chuck Lee**
Are you here to destroy this city, too?!
**[05:02] Soldier X**
I won't let you turn JuLai
into the next Jeneora Rock!
**[05:08] Vash**
Don't do it, Wolfwood.
**[05:10] Wolfwood**
Is now really the time for that?
**[05:12] Soldier X**
My parents were in
Jeneora Rock when it happened.
**[05:17] Soldier X**
And you... How could you?
**[05:23] Wolfwood**
Hey, Needle-noggin!
**[05:25] Wolfwood**
Hey! Are you okay?!
**[05:27] Chuck Lee**
I-I-I didn't give the order to shoot!
**[05:30] Wolfwood**
Put a sock in it, asshole!
**[05:31] Chuck Lee**
Okay!
**[05:32] Wolfwood**
Tch...
**[05:33] Vash**
Let's go.
**[05:34] Wolfwood**
Hey, Needle-noggin!
**[05:40] Soldier B**
After them!
**[05:46] Conrad**
You must have seen the flora and thought,
"What a wonderful breakthrough."
**[05:51] Meryl**
I did.
**[05:52] Conrad**
But that plan would take an
extraordinarily long time to implement.
**[05:56] Conrad**
Are you certain mankind
would survive until then?
**[06:02] Conrad**
Luida's ambition of changing
the environment is admirable.
**[06:06] Conrad**
But time is of the essence.
**[06:09] Conrad**
We don't have the luxury
of exploring alternatives.
**[06:12] Roberto**
And so what's your answer, then?
**[06:17] Conrad**
Humanity.
***SIGN*** #10 Humanity
**[06:26] Conrad**
Requiring neither food nor drink,
**[06:28] Conrad**
capable of withstanding the
temperature differential of the desert...
**[06:31] Conrad**
My goal was a new breed of humanity.
**[06:34] Meryl**
You... operate on people here?
**[06:37] Conrad**
You've seen them.
**[06:39] Conrad**
E. G. the Mine.
**[06:41] Conrad**
Monev the Gale.
**[06:43] Conrad**
Livio the Double Fang.
**[06:46] Roberto**
And Nicholas.
**[06:48] Meryl**
What? The undertaker?
**[06:50] Conrad**
Yes, Nicholas the Punisher.
**[06:54] Conrad**
He, too, is my creation.
**[06:59] Wolfwood**
Hanging around you is gonna get me killed.
**[07:04] Vash**
Sorry.
**[07:05] Wolfwood**
You turn into a deer the moment
you're up against humans.
**[07:09] Vash**
I'm sorry. But thank you.
**[07:12] Wolfwood**
Huh?
**[07:13] Vash**
You didn't kill them.
**[07:15] Wolfwood**
How could I? You took off without me.
**[07:21] Wolfwood**
Get yourself patched up already!
**[07:23] Wolfwood**
Or are you gonna fart around till you pass out?
**[07:26] Vash**
Got it.
**[07:32] Wolfwood**
Needle-noggin...
**[07:35] Wolfwood**
Those scars...
**[07:37] Vash**
Oh, how embarrassing.
**[07:41] Vash**
Ow...
**[07:42] Wolfwood**
So that's the price you pay
for saving everyone.
**[07:46] Wolfwood**
It's not hard to imagine how people
have treated an aberration like you.
**[07:55] Wolfwood**
I can't understand why you want
to help humans so much.
**[07:58] Wolfwood**
How do you even put up with 'em?
**[08:01] Vash**
My body moves before I can think.
**[08:05] Vash**
I can't abandon anyone who's in tight spot.
**[08:09] Vash**
That includes you.
**[08:12] Wolfwood**
So you figured me out.
**[08:16] Wolfwood**
Did you think sacrificing yourself
will make everyone happy?
**[08:23] Meryl**
How awful...
**[08:25] Conrad**
They were all doomed to
die of illness or poverty.
**[08:30] Conrad**
I saved lives and gave purpose to
ordinary folk who had none.
**[08:36] Roberto**
You kidnapped orphans and
sick people to toy with them.
**[08:40] Meryl**
He's right!
**[08:41] Conrad**
I did nothing to demean them!
**[08:44] Roberto**
Yeah, I bet. You seem even
more uptight than you look.
**[08:50] Roberto**
Want a sip?
**[08:54] Conrad**
My surgeries helped make them tougher.
**[08:59] Conrad**
But that was all.
They still hungered and thirsted.
**[09:04] Conrad**
They were failures.
**[09:08] Conrad**
Nothing like Millions Knives,
the Independent plant...
**[09:16] Conrad**
The ultimate life-form.
**[09:33] Conrad**
So if we cannot patch people together,
we must alter them before birth.
**[09:41] Conrad**
Thus, with help from Knives and
the study of lab-grown clones,
**[09:48] Conrad**
we created this child.
**[09:55] Meryl**
How could you...
**[09:57] Conrad**
But its power level is only
around that of a supply gate.
**[10:02] Conrad**
The child neither human nor plant.
**[10:05] Meryl**
But can't you see these kids
*are* already born?
**[10:10] Conrad**
I just want you to understand...
**[10:14] Conrad**
that this is for the future
of mankind on this planet.
**[10:19] Meryl**
What arrogance...
**[10:21] Conrad**
If that's what you think, young lady,
you may kill me right here and now.
**[10:27] Conrad**
You will get what you want
and save a few lives, yes.
**[10:32] Conrad**
But at the same time,
you'll be killing countless possibilities.
**[10:39] Conrad**
Both Knives and I are looking
much further ahead into the future.
**[10:44] Conrad**
It's a lonely job, but it must be done.
**[10:49] Conrad**
For the sake of creating a new
human race, I would pay any price.
**[10:53] Conrad**
Even if that must be one of the twins.
**[10:57] Roberto**
Nonsense. You think you're
gonna save the world?
**[11:01] Roberto**
What's more important than how you feel
seeing these kids right here in front of you?
**[11:07] Meryl**
I pity them...
**[11:14] Elendira**
Who are you to pity me?
**[11:34] Elendira**
That's why I hate humans.
**[11:37] Elendira**
You only ever judge by what *you* can see.
**[11:40] Conrad**
Stop it, Elendira!
**[11:42] Elendira**
Silence!
**[11:44] Roberto**
H-Hey!
**[11:54] Roberto**
Wow, it worked.
**[11:56] Roberto**
What did I tell you?!
**[11:57] Meryl**
I'm sorry!
**[11:59] Roberto**
Always sticking your nose into trouble...
**[12:01] Meryl**
I'm sorry!
**[12:02] Roberto**
If I get hurt and worker's comp
doesn't cover it, you're on the hook!
**[12:07] Meryl**
I'm sorry!
**[12:14] Roberto**
That doc is crazy.
**[12:17] Roberto**
This is a trap.
They're trying to lure Vash here.
**[12:21] Meryl**
We have to let him know!
**[12:25] Meryl**
Please hurry! Hurry!
**[12:38] Elendira**
Found you.
**[12:49] Elendira**
Oh, no! You would kill a
pitiful creature like me?
**[12:53] Elendira**
How cruel! Horrible! Awful!
**[12:58] Elendira**
See? Always judging by looks.
**[13:01] Elendira**
You're all driven by discrimination.
**[13:03] Roberto**
You monster.
**[13:05] Elendira**
Monster? Did you just call me a monster?
**[13:09] Elendira**
You should really... speak for yourself.
**[13:17] Roberto**
We're almost there.
**[13:18] Roberto**
Just gotta survive until the elevator comes.
**[13:21] Meryl**
Huh?
**[13:22] Roberto**
We run on the count of three.
**[13:24] Roberto**
One, two...
**[13:27] Roberto**
Three!
**[13:47] Meryl**
Vash?!
**[13:47] Vash**
Quickly now, you two!
**[13:49] Roberto**
Took you long enough!
**[13:52] Elendira**
Punisher!
**[13:59] Roberto**
Jeez, talk about in the nick of time.
**[14:02] Meryl**
Phew, we're safe. But how did you...
**[14:04] Roberto**
Call it a hunch.
**[14:08] Meryl**
Don't go, Vash! It's a trap!
**[14:18] Elendira**
Ouch! Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
**[14:23] Elendira**
Oh, the pain...
**[14:26] Wolfwood**
That's pathetic, you dummy.
**[14:29] Elendira**
I hate you!
**[14:30] Wolfwood**
Well, the feeling's mutual.
Maybe we'll get along after all.
**[14:34] Elendira**
We will not, you jerk! Just get out of here.
**[14:39] Wolfwood**
Yeah, yeah.
**[14:41] Vash**
Does it hurt?
**[14:43] Vash**
Your injury...
**[14:44] Elendira**
Don't touch me, scum!
**[14:46] Elendira**
You traitor! You don't even
know how much Lord Knives...
**[14:55] Wolfwood**
Hey, Needle-noggin!
**[14:57] Wolfwood**
Leave the little creep alone. Let's scram.
**[15:00] Meryl**
Come on, Roberto!
We have to go after them and...
**[15:12] Roberto**
Goodness gracious...
**[15:18] Roberto**
Looks like I messed up.
**[15:20] Meryl**
No!
**[15:23] Roberto**
Maybe I had a bit too much to drink.
**[15:27] Roberto**
Keep your hands to yourself.
It hurts enough.
**[15:30] Meryl**
But... But the bleeding...
**[15:34] Roberto**
Pass me my booze.
**[15:36] Meryl**
This is no time for that!
**[15:40] Roberto**
Will you *ever* get off my case? Good grief.
**[15:43] Roberto**
If I drink, it might just come
out the hole in my gut.
**[15:50] Meryl**
This is all my fault...
**[15:53] Roberto**
Yeah.
**[15:56] Roberto**
You limited what I can drink, so...
**[16:01] Roberto**
Damn, my head's too clear for this.
**[16:09] Roberto**
Take this.
**[16:12] Meryl**
No! I can't leave you!
**[16:15] Roberto**
You listen here.
You're in charge from now on.
**[16:20] Roberto**
Follow your heart.
**[16:21] Meryl**
No.
**[16:22] Roberto**
You can run if you want. Well?
**[16:29] Roberto**
Meryl Stryfe.
**[16:37] Roberto**
I... was just unlucky...
**[16:56] Meryl**
I'm sorry...
**[17:19] Wolfwood**
Not wanting to kill anyone...
**[17:22] Wolfwood**
That's just a coward's idealism.
**[17:25] Wolfwood**
Even a kid could tell you that.
**[17:29] Wolfwood**
Folks only get to live
'cause other people die.
**[17:34] Wolfwood**
That's the world we live in.
**[17:38] Wolfwood**
I don't have the luxury of being
afraid to make tough decisions.
**[17:44] Wolfwood**
I have to choose.
**[17:47] Wolfwood**
In order to protect
the things that are dear to me.
**[17:53] Wolfwood**
So I'll do anything I have to.
**[17:56] Wolfwood**
As a guide.
**[17:59] Vash**
For the orphanage?
**[18:02] Wolfwood**
What a load of babysitting
this job turned out to be.
**[18:05] Wolfwood**
Dragging someone so eager to die
all the way out here alive...
**[18:10] Wolfwood**
But it's done now.
**[18:11] Vash**
Wolfwood.
**[18:14] Vash**
Thanks for everything.
**[19:02] Knives**
One of our brethren from back then.
**[19:04] Knives**
I keep her here as a warning for myself.
**[19:07] Vash**
The humans aren't exploiting
them because they want to.
**[19:12] Knives**
What did you come all the way out here for?
**[19:15] Vash**
To take back the plants.
**[19:21] Vash**
And not just that.
**[19:23] Vash**
The rash of robberies everywhere...
That was you, Nai, wasn't it?
**[19:28] Knives**
What an accusation.
**[19:31] Knives**
All I'm doing is rescuing our brethren who've
been discriminated against and oppressed.
**[19:35] Vash**
We can coexist with humans too, Nai!
**[19:39] Knives**
Vash!
**[19:41] Knives**
You don't want to save the humans
because you love them.
**[19:47] Knives**
You just want to make up for
causing the crash 150 years ago.
**[19:54] Conrad**
Your contract is complete. Take this.
**[19:59] Wolfwood**
What good is this piece
of paper supposed to do?
**[20:03] Wolfwood**
I'll never forget what
you did to me. Or to Livio.
**[20:12] Conrad**
Nicholas, were you able
to lay down your cross?
**[20:18] Wolfwood**
What about you?
**[20:31] (Flashback) Younger Conrad**
I can't believe it! Nai?!
**[20:32] (Flashback) Younger Conrad**
You survived the crash... the Big Fall?
**[20:39] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
Long time no see,
Count Lebnant Vasques. Or should I say...
**[20:44] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
Researcher Bill Conrad?
**[20:48] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
You choose. Join the trash heap of
hundreds of thousands perished...
**[20:54] (Flashback) Teenage Nai**
Or live and atone for the
Sinners' transgressions.
**[20:58] (Flashback) Younger Conrad**
Where did those eyes...
**[21:00] (Flashback) Younger Conrad**
Forgive me.
**[21:02] (Flashback) Younger Conrad**
What I have done to you...
cannot be undone...
**[21:12] (Flashback) Conrad**
My atonement is unending.
**[21:15] Knives**
No matter how much you try to atone,
the humans will never forgive you.
**[21:20] Knives**
No matter how much you fool yourself,
**[21:23] Knives**
in their eyes, you're still a monster.
**[21:28] Vash**
I know humans make sacrifices
in order to live,
**[21:32] Vash**
but they're trying to move forward.
**[21:35] Vash**
I want to believe in them.
**[21:38] Knives**
I feel sorry for you. You're sick.
**[21:42] Knives**
I'll put you out of your misery.
**[21:58] Knives**
I will remake you.
**[22:02] Knives**
To be more like me...
**[22:04] Knives**
The perfect Independent!
**[22:08] Vash**
Don't, Nai!
**[22:17] Knives**
All shall be even again.
**[22:20] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
Your light...
**[22:34] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
If that light never changes
**[22:38] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
And continues to shine high above the sky
**[22:42] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
Even when I'm lost,
even when I'm struggling
**[22:47] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
I'll continue to search for you
**[22:51] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
Even on days of sickness or sadness
**[22:55] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
I'll open the window to a new morning
**[23:00] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
I'm moving forward, I'm standing still
**[23:04] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
Tell the people who are praying
**[23:07] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
But today this flower
before me is praising you
**[23:13] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
My song is a song of joy and wishes
**[23:16] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
Yes, I'm reaching out
**[23:19] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
But you're too high up
in the evening stars
**[23:24] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
But today this flower
before me is praising you
**[23:30] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
My song is a song of joy and wishes
**[23:34] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
Yes, I try to reach out
**[23:36] [SONG] ED Lyrics**
But you're too high up
in the evening stars

**[00:15] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
My tears scattered like bits of paper
**[00:18] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
Scared of the unknowable tomorrow
**[00:22] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
I lived the same day over and over,
back and forth
**[00:25] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
But a new morning never came
**[00:29] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
All the reasons to calm down
**[00:31] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
Are just some moments until the crash
**[00:36] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
I'm no longer the one that everyone knows
**[00:39] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
Took off the fragile armor
**[00:44] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
I don't want to lose any more love
**[00:51] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
I don't want to lose any more love
**[00:58] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
There's still no line
between today and tomorrow
**[01:02] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
My waking nightmare doesn't end
**[01:05] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
And yet I won't lose hope
**[01:09] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
And yet there's no night that doesn't end
**[01:15] [SONG] OP Lyrics**
Not here, not here
**[01:45] Meryl**
Undertaker!
**[01:46] Meryl**
Where's Vash?
**[01:49] Wolfwood**
That's none of my business anymore.
**[01:52] Meryl**
Huh?
**[01:55] Meryl**
Stop playing around.
**[01:57] Wolfwood**
What?
**[01:58] Meryl**
Where is Vash?
**[02:00] Wolfwood**
I'm tellin' you, I don't know.
**[02:02] Wolfwood**
Maybe Knives is turning him
into a mummy or something.
**[02:09] Wolfwood**
What was that for?
**[02:10] Meryl**
I'm so disappointed in you.
**[02:12] Wolfwood**
Huh?
**[02:15] Wolfwood**
Who does she think she is?
**[02:31] Knives**
Don't panic, Vash.
**[02:48] Knives**
Now, let's begin.
**[02:56] Conrad**
Initial connection complete.
**[02:58] Conrad**
Vitals are stable.
Looks like the connection was a success.
**[03:03] Conrad**
At last, a hundred years
of my research bears fruit...
**[03:11] Meryl**
Stop this.
**[03:13] Meryl**
I mean it.
**[03:15] Conrad**
You won't shoot me.
**[03:19] Conrad**
It's bulletproof glass. Besides...
**[03:22] Conrad**
Forcefully severing the
connection now would be fatal.
**[03:27] Meryl**
What are you trying to do?
**[03:30] Conrad**
The plants are just husks.
**[03:35] Conrad**
Their true being is located elsewhere.
**[03:39] Conrad**
Not here, but an alternate dimension.
A higher plane.
**[03:45] Conrad**
That's where the energy
we consume from plants originates.
**[03:52] Conrad**
Plants are merely windows that
connect the two dimensions.
**[03:57] Meryl**
So what do you want?!
**[03:59] Conrad**
Why do you think the twins are
the only ones with their own will?
**[04:04] Conrad**
I hypothesize that the key difference
between the plants and Independents
**[04:10] Conrad**
is the existence of a soul.
**[04:12] Conrad**
In order to give the plants souls,
we must connect to the core.
**[04:17] Meryl**
What core?
**[04:18] Conrad**
The manifestation of the
beginning and the end.
**[04:21] Conrad**
The source of all matter and energy.
**[04:24] Conrad**
Access the core. Give plants souls.
**[04:29] Conrad**
That is my objective.
**[04:30] Meryl**
Are you saying... you intend to make every
plant on this planet an Independent?
**[04:46] Vash**
This place...
**[04:48] Knives**
Curious this is the first memory I come to.
**[04:53] Vash**
What do you mean?
**[04:55] Knives**
Do you remember what I vowed that day?
**[04:59] Knives**
I've done it. I found the way to free them.
**[05:04] Knives**
To make it happen, I need your help.
**[05:06] Knives**
Come. Let us save our brethren together.
**[05:11] Vash**
You know why humans abuse plants?
**[05:14] Vash**
Because they crashed on this barren planet.
**[05:17] Vash**
It's our fault!
**[05:19] Knives**
I see.
**[05:22] Vash**
Then be crucified on behalf
of the Sinners, as you wish!
**[05:35] Meryl**
If all the plants become Independent,
humanity won't survive!
**[05:40] Conrad**
We're already in the process
of a slow suicide.
**[05:44] Conrad**
Plant Independence is the
only way to reverse that.
**[05:49] Conrad**
Vash's "window" is special.
**[05:50] Conrad**
He's the only one able to take from
*and* send to the higher dimension.
**[05:55] Meryl**
He'd never agree to something like this!
**[05:58] Conrad**
That is why he shall be remade.
**[06:00] Meryl**
"Remade"?
**[06:05] Conrad**
Second connection successful.
**[06:08] Conrad**
We can now interfere with
every plant using Vash as a window.
**[06:13] Conrad**
This is the point of no return.
**[06:18] Meryl**
Vash! Snap out of it!
**[06:21] Meryl**
Vash!
**[06:24] Conrad**
Initializing assimilation, absorption,
awakening, and memory manipulation.
**[06:29] Meryl**
Memory manipulation?
**[06:31] Conrad**
Knives.
**[06:32] Knives**
It's going well. I'm heading deeper now.
**[06:38] Knives**
Soon, you won't recognize anything.
**[06:41] Knives**
Not me, not the world...
**[06:46] Knives**
Nothing.
**[06:50] Wolfwood**
I owe you one.
**[07:00] Wolfwood**
*Gotta make a choice, huh?*
**[07:10] Rosa**
Leave this town!
**[07:14] Tonis**
You said you'd save us.
**[07:17] Vash**
Tonis...
**[07:19] Rollo**
You said you'd save us.
**[07:22] Vash**
Rollo!
**[07:30] Wolfwood**
You want us to live on,
even if it's as monsters?
**[07:35] Wolfwood**
How could you be so irresponsible?
You can't even take care of us.
**[07:42] Wolfwood & Knives**
Kill him. Put him out of his misery.
**[07:45] Monev**
Kill...
**[07:48] Monev**
Kill...!
**[07:49] Vash**
No, Rollo.
**[07:52] Vash**
That's enough!
**[08:07] Knives**
You're no hero who'll save everyone.
**[08:11] Knives**
You're just a coward who can't
stand to watch anyone die.
**[08:19] Vash**
Where am I?
**[08:22] Vash**
My hand...
**[08:26] Vash**
This isn't real!
It's a dream you're showing me...
**[08:30] Vash**
It's fake!
**[08:41] Vash**
I have to get out of here.
**[08:50] Vash**
I have to find the exit.
**[08:57] Conrad**
Synchronization at 40 percent and climbing.
**[09:00] Knives**
I won't let you get away, Vash.
**[09:26] Vash**
This is...
**[09:28] Young Nai**
That's right. It's the Big Fall.
**[09:33] Young Nai**
What will they think once
they learn it was your fault?
**[09:41] Young Nai**
Don't you worry.
**[09:44] Young Nai**
They're just feeble creatures
that don't even live for a century.
**[09:49] Young Nai**
Now forget.
**[09:51] Young Nai**
Let go and relax.
**[09:59] Vash**
Who were they again...?
**[10:06] Conrad**
Synchronization at 70 percent.
**[10:08] Conrad**
Seventy, eighty... What speed!
**[10:20] Meryl**
What's going on?
**[10:26] Meryl**
These are... They're like the flora!
**[10:30] Conrad**
What is this, Knives?
**[10:32] Knives**
Don't panic.
**[10:54] Young Nai**
Release your powers, Vash!
Let's remake the world!
**[11:15] Conrad**
Synchronization at 90 percent...
**[11:20] Conrad**
Progress has stalled?
**[11:44] Young Nai**
That woman...
**[11:46] Young Nai**
There you are!
**[11:49] Young Nai**
Rem Saverem!
**[11:54] Conrad**
Love for humanity versus...
**[11:58] Conrad**
love for a younger brother.
**[12:05] Conrad**
It will determine the fate of the world.
**[12:14] Shopkeeper**
Quite an appetite you've got there.
You on your way home?
**[12:17] Chuck Lee**
Nope.
**[12:17] Shopkeeper**
I see.
**[12:19] Soldier 11-A**
Haven't you heard? The Humanoid
Typhoon snuck into the city.
**[12:23] Shopkeeper**
What? No way.
**[12:25] Soldier 11-B**
That's why we're working all night.
**[12:39] Meryl**
Vash!
**[12:41] Meryl**
Don't get taken in! Wake up!
**[12:47] (Flashback) Young Vash**
A "flower"?
**[12:48] (Flashback) Rem**
Yes. This one's a geranium.
**[12:51] (Flashback) Rem**
There were lots of other
flowers back on Earth, too.
**[12:54] (Flashback) Young Vash**
Can you eat it?
**[12:55] (Flashback) Rem**
Not this kind, I'm afraid.
**[12:58] (Flashback) Young Nai**
So it's ornamental, right, Rem?
**[13:01] (Flashback) Young Nai**
Just like the one in the plant room.
**[13:05] (Flashback) Rem**
That's right, Nai. You're very observant.
**[13:10] (Flashback) Young Vash**
Too bad it's not edible...
**[13:12] (Flashback) Young Nai**
You're always thinking about eating.
**[13:15] (Flashback) Young Vash**
Well, sorry that's all I'm good for.
**[13:17] (Flashback) Young Nai**
That's not what I said.
**[13:19] (Flashback) Young Vash**
It's what you meant!
**[13:20] (Flashback) Young Nai**
What was that?
**[13:20] (Flashback) Rem**
Gosh, you're always bickering.
**[13:23] (Flashback) Rem**
Nai, just because you're
the one with special powers—
**[13:26] (Flashback) Young Nai**
Yeah, yeah. It doesn't mean
I should show off, right?
**[13:30] (Flashback) Rem**
The power you received is wonderful,
but promise me this.
**[13:34] (Flashback) Rem**
When everyone wakes up from cryosleep—
**[13:36] (Flashback) Young Nai**
Never show it to anyone but you.
**[13:39] (Flashback) Rem**
And even if you don't need to—
**[13:41] (Flashback) Young Nai & Rem**
Pretend to eat and drink.
**[13:43] (Flashback) Young Nai**
I know.
**[13:47] (Flashback) Young Nai**
You should be more worried about Vash.
**[13:49] (Flashback) Young Nai**
At this rate, he'll really just be a human.
**[13:55] (Flashback) Rem**
That's fine. There's no need to
compare yourself to anyone else.
**[14:00] (Flashback) Rem**
You are who you are,
and that's all you need to be.
**[14:04] (Flashback) Rem**
You too, Nai. Come here.
**[14:08] (Flashback) Rem**
Powers or no powers,
both you boys are still precious to me.
**[14:15] (Flashback) Rem**
I love you.
**[14:20] Vash**
This must have meant something to you, too.
**[14:23] Knives**
You really think so?
**[14:47] (Flashback) Young Vash**
This is bad, Nai.
**[14:49] (Flashback) Young Nai**
You have to be wondering
what Rem is hiding, too.
**[15:09] (Flashback) Young Nai**
Me?
**[15:10] (Flashback) Young Vash**
And me, too.
**[15:14] (Flashback) Young Nai**
Project Code "Type T"?
**[15:17] (Flashback) Young Nai**
Another Independent like us
was born on this ship...
**[15:21] (Flashback) Young Nai**
Fifty years ago.
**[15:22] (Flashback) Young Vash**
The records are being kept... here?
**[15:29] (Flashback) Young Vash**
H-Huh?
**[15:32] (Flashback) Young Nai**
What?
**[15:53] (Flashback) Rem**
Nai! Vash!
**[15:58] Vash**
I know that humans
did terrible things to her.
**[16:02] Vash**
I understand why you'd hate them.
**[16:04] Vash**
But even so...
**[16:06] Knives**
You still don't get it?
**[16:08] Knives**
That was but one grain of sand.
**[16:34] (Flashback) Young Nai**
Humanity repeats the same tragedies.
**[16:37] (Flashback) Young Nai**
They deplore conflict,
yet no era is ever free from war.
**[16:43] (Flashback) Young Nai**
History is proof.
**[16:47] (Flashback) Young Vash**
Reading that again?
**[16:50] (Flashback) Young Nai**
Humanity never learns.
**[16:55] (Flashback) Young Vash**
That's not true.
**[16:58] (Flashback) Young Vash**
Rem told me.
**[17:00] (Flashback) Young Vash**
When we were born, she vowed
never to let that tragedy occur again.
**[17:06] (Flashback) Young Vash**
So...
**[17:07] (Flashback) Young Vash**
let's have faith in humanity.
**[17:19] Knives**
Without any powers,
you're too weak to live as a plant.
**[17:24] Knives**
That's why you craved the
love of humans over all else.
**[17:28] Knives**
You needed to smile, show your charm,
and behave like a harmless pet.
**[17:34] Knives**
You'll never find happiness that way.
I had to protect you.
**[17:40] Knives**
That's why I crashed the ships.
**[17:44] Vash**
It's my fault?
**[17:46] Knives**
I did it all for you.
**[18:07] Knives**
This is it! The final memory...
**[18:09] Conrad**
Synchronization at 99 percent.
**[18:12] Meryl**
Please, make it stop!
**[18:13] Meryl**
It's not too late!
**[18:15] Conrad**
It is indeed too late.
About 150 years too late.
**[18:25] Meryl**
Vash!
**[18:27] Meryl**
Artillery fire?
**[18:29] Soldier 11-C**
A giant unknown organism has appeared
in the central tower! Need backup!
**[18:35] Chuck Lee**
What is that thing?
**[18:37] Conrad**
We're so close...
**[18:43] Knives**
That woman was the cause
of all the confusion.
**[18:47] Knives**
What you tried to believe was love,
Vash, was just a bunch of excuses.
**[18:54] Knives**
Mere silly fantasies.
**[19:00] Vash**
No! Rem!
**[19:03] Vash**
Please! Don't leave me!
**[19:07] Knives**
I'll save you.
**[19:24] Conrad**
Synchronization at 100 percent.
**[19:26] Conrad**
Memory manipulation and
assimilation complete.
**[19:36] Knives**
I've finally got him back!
**[19:43] Knives**
Happy birthday, Vash.
**[20:02] Conrad**
Third connection successful.
**[20:05] Conrad**
That's...
**[20:07] Conrad**
the entrance to the higher plane!
**[20:30] Soldier**
This is the Third City JuLai
to the Alliance of Cities!
**[20:33] Soldier**
Request immediate assistance!
**[20:35] Knives**
Flaming arrows will vaporize the cities,
and a flood will purify the lands...
**[20:41] Knives**
Today is the battle of Har Megiddo.
**[20:58] Knives**
I'm going to enter the higher plane
and directly touch the core.
**[21:04] Conrad**
Be careful, Knives.
**[21:09] Meryl**
You're...
**[21:12] Conrad**
It's been a long journey.
**[21:15] Conrad**
Until Knives realized his wishes,
I was not even permitted death.
**[21:21] Conrad**
But it'll all be over soon.
**[21:28] Knives**
The human race and its zealous
assertion of dominance ends here.
**[21:55] Knives**
We Independents...
**[21:58] Knives**
will bring a new order to this world!
***SIGN*** #11 To a New World

**[00:01] (Flashback) Young Vash**
A space colony...? Emigrants...?
**[00:04] (Flashback) Rem**
That's right, Vash.
**[00:06] (Flashback) Rem**
We left Earth two hundred years ago
in search of a new home.
**[00:10] (Flashback) Young Nai**
Like a Western...
Life on the frontier!
**[00:13] (Flashback) Young Vash**
Huh?
**[00:14] (Flashback) Young Nai**
Where cowboys stand up for their friends
and beat the bad guys!
**[00:18] (Flashback) Young Nai**
Bang, bang!
**[00:19] (Flashback) Young Vash**
I don't like that stuff.
**[00:23] (Flashback) Rem**
Look, you two.
**[00:26] (Flashback) Rem**
Project Seeds means hope,
a future for humanity and plants.
**[00:31] (Flashback) Young Vash**
How come we're the only ones
who can live outside the casings?
**[00:36] (Flashback) Rem**
Here's what I think.
**[00:38] (Flashback) Rem**
Maybe you two are gifts sent by God
**[00:43] (Flashback) Rem**
to act as a bridge between humans and plants.
**[00:47] (Flashback) Young Nai**
Like angels.
**[00:48] (Flashback) Young Vash**
I wonder if we can get along with humans.
**[00:52] (Flashback) Rem**
Don't worry. No matter
what happens, I will protect you.
**[00:58] (Flashback) Rem**
Always.
**[01:02] Knives**
We the Independents will bring
a new order to this world.
**[01:08] Knives**
It's the birth of a new world!
**[01:10] Radio Host**
* This is a Satellite News Flash*
* from November Public Broadcasting!*
**[01:15] Radio Host**
* The unknown object that suddenly*
* appeared in central JuLai*
**[01:18] Radio Host**
*is continuing to grow at an astounding pace!*
**[01:23] Wolfwood**
It's the end of the world.
**[01:26] Conrad**
Knives has gone to the other side of the gate.
**[01:29] Meryl**
The other side of the gate?
**[01:31] Conrad**
A realm in the higher dimension
that we cannot possibly fathom.
**[01:35] Conrad**
There, he will connect
directly with the plant core.
**[01:43] Conrad**
He will artificially impregnate all of the
plants and create new Independents,
**[01:49] Conrad**
similar to how he and Vash were born.
**[01:53] Conrad**
Then he will wipe out humanity
and create a new world.
**[01:59] Meryl**
Are you saying he's going
to kill us if this goes on?
**[02:03] Meryl**
Wake up, Vash!
**[02:06] Conrad**
I already told you that he's no longer
the Vash the Stampede you knew.
**[02:12] Conrad**
Accept it.
**[02:14] Conrad**
The gate is already open,
with Vash as the hub.
**[02:17] Conrad**
The only way to close it now
would be to destroy the gate itself.
**[02:22] Conrad**
In other words, to kill Vash.
**[02:24] Meryl**
That can't be...
**[02:27] Knives**
I made it.
**[02:32] Knives**
I can feel it!
**[02:34] Knives**
This is the power that was
inside you all this time.
**[02:38] Knives**
Now, let us begin!
**[02:42] Soldier Radio**
* This is JuLai requesting*
* backup from the Alliance of Cities!*
**[02:45] Soldier 12-A**
What's going on?!
**[02:47] Soldier 12-B**
There's no end to it!
**[03:03] Zazie**
You're not going to run?
**[03:05] Zazie**
At this rate, the twins
will take the whole planet.
**[03:08] Wolfwood**
It's not every day I get to see you flustered.
**[03:12] Wolfwood**
Things not going to plan?
**[03:15] Zazie**
It's really too bad. If you
had a network of your own,
**[03:18] Zazie**
you could've made death obsolete.
**[03:21] Wolfwood**
Humans aren't like Worms.
**[03:23] Zazie**
And I reckon this'll be the end of you.
**[03:29] Wolfwood**
For cryin' out loud.
**[03:36] Meryl**
The only one who can
stop Millions Knives is...
**[03:40] Conrad**
He has been reborn.
**[03:42] Conrad**
As a plant.
**[03:52] Conrad**
Human words mean nothing to him anymore.
**[03:57] Conrad**
But what is he trying to start?
**[04:06] Conrad**
You must run! It'll swallow you up!
**[04:11] Meryl**
Don't you give up now!
**[04:13] Meryl**
You're the only one who
can stop Millions Knives!
**[04:17] Meryl**
Come on... Vash!
**[04:24] Meryl**
I know you can hear me, Vash!
**[04:25] Conrad**
She doesn't know when to quit.
**[04:31] Knives**
Pathetic.
**[04:33] Knives**
A parasite feeding off our brethren.
**[04:35] Knives**
This power belongs to us.
**[04:38] Knives**
I won't let any human have it!
**[04:41] Meryl**
Vash!
**[04:42] Meryl**
Vash!
**[04:52] Young Nai**
What's that song?
**[04:54] Young Vash**
It just comes to me.
**[04:56] Young Vash**
It calms me down when I'm nervous.
**[04:59] Young Vash**
I feel like I know it from long ago.
**[05:02] Young Nai**
Hm...
**[05:03] Young Vash**
Say, Nai, do you think we
can get along with humans?
**[05:08] Young Nai**
Don't worry. No matter
what happens, I will protect you.
**[05:18] Rem**
*Vash.*
**[05:20] Rem**
*Vash...*
**[05:27] Young Nai**
I will protect you.
**[05:30] Young Vash**
No...
**[05:32] Young Vash**
No! You're not the one who said that!
**[05:39] Young Vash**
The person who said that to me is...
**[05:44] Young Nai**
Vash.
**[05:51] Young Nai/Knives**
You'll be so much happier if you stay here.
**[05:54] Young Nai/Knives**
Don't go. Don't go!
**[05:57] Young Nai/Knives**
Vash! Stop!
**[06:02] Rem**
*Vash... Vash...*
**[06:15] Rem**
*Vash...*
**[06:17] Rem**
*Vash.*
**[06:20] Rem**
*Vash.*
**[06:23] Teenage Vash**
Wait!
**[06:25] Teenage Vash**
Please wait!
**[06:29] Vash**
Rem!
**[06:31] Rem**
*I'm sorry I left you all alone.*
**[06:34] Rem**
* But I'm glad to know*
* I've lived on inside you all this time.*
**[06:39] Rem**
* Thank you for protecting*
* my dreams and my hopes...*
**[06:44] Rem/Meryl**
*Vash.*
**[06:45] Meryl**
Vash? Vash...
**[06:48] Meryl**
Vash!
**[06:52] Conrad**
What?
**[06:54] Conrad**
The power...
**[06:55] Conrad**
It's flowing in reverse!
**[07:07] Knives**
I was rejected!
**[07:09] Knives**
What's going on, Doctor?!
**[07:14] Conrad**
The gate is closing...
**[07:16] Conrad**
The energy from the
higher plane is converging.
**[07:28] Meryl**
Vash...
**[07:30] Knives**
So you think you've outplayed me?
**[07:34] Knives**
Pathetic human!
**[07:44] Vash**
Thank you, Meryl.
**[07:53] Vash**
I heard your voice, too.
**[08:08] Conrad**
He's controlling that huge mass by himself?
**[08:16] Meryl**
Vash...
**[08:21] Knives**
Vash...
**[08:23] Vash**
Nai.
**[08:25] Vash**
Your plan has failed.
**[08:28] Vash**
Now let's end this.
**[08:29] Knives**
It's not over.
**[08:30] Knives**
I won't let it be!
**[08:33] Knives**
Give that to me!
**[08:36] Knives**
Vash!
**[08:49] Knives**
Take me there again!
**[08:53] Knives**
Back to the higher dimension!
**[09:04] Conrad**
It didn't converge?
**[09:07] Conrad**
He refined it on a molecular level?
**[09:09] Conrad**
He broke it into countless particles,
smaller than air, and crystallized it...
**[09:14] Conrad**
But that won't last long!
**[09:17] Vash**
I need to get this someplace
far away right now!
**[09:21] Knives**
Do you know what that is, Vash?!
**[09:39] Meryl**
Vash!
**[09:40] Conrad**
Wait!
**[10:01] Meryl**
U-Undertaker!
**[10:04] Wolfwood**
I'm just here to pay up for the cigarettes.
**[10:09] Wolfwood**
Whoa!
**[10:11] Wolfwood**
What kind of idiot challenges
Millions Knives like that?
**[10:15] Wolfwood**
He's way out of our league.
**[10:17] Wolfwood**
Time to skedaddle!
**[10:19] Knives**
Do you see now?
**[10:20] Knives**
Our powers are on a whole different level.
**[10:24] Knives**
You think those puny humans
could ever accept that?!
**[10:28] Knives**
They'll never allow those
who threaten them to survive!
**[10:33] Knives**
You can bet they'll hunt us down in a frenzy!
**[10:43] Meryl**
Ugh...
**[10:45] Knives**
Give it to me!
**[11:49] Soldier 12-C**
There he is! It's the Humanoid Typhoon!
**[11:53] Vash**
Soldiers?!
**[11:54] Vash**
It's not safe here! You have to get away!
**[11:59] Vash**
Please, listen to me!
**[12:10] Vash**
It's not safe. You need to run.
**[12:16] Vash**
You're in danger!
**[12:17] Soldier 12-D**
Don't let him get away! Open fire!
**[12:23] Soldier 12-E**
If you hadn't shown up,
nobody would have died!
**[12:26] Soldier 12-F**
How many cities will you destroy
before you're done?!
**[12:29] Soldier 12-G**
Humanoid Typhoon!
**[12:34] Vash**
Run. Please run.
**[12:36] Vash**
You have to flee!
**[12:45] Knives**
It's like I already told you.
**[12:47] Knives**
Our powers are too great.
Humans will never understand.
**[12:53] Knives**
They're neither friends nor family.
**[12:57] Knives**
They are our enemies.
**[12:58] Vash**
You're wrong. I... We can...
**[13:02] Vash**
We can get along!
**[13:03] Knives**
Your own actions contradict you!
**[13:17] Vash**
I know I'm contradicting myself.
**[13:20] Vash**
But even so, I won't give up
until they believe in me.
**[13:25] Vash**
I'll do whatever it takes!
**[13:28] Vash**
I'll do everything I can!
**[13:56] Meryl**
I knew it.
**[13:58] Meryl**
Vash is trying to release
the energy into outer space.
**[14:01] Wolfwood**
What? But if he does that...
**[14:04] Wolfwood**
it'll blast him to pieces!
**[14:13] Knives**
Releasing it into space?
**[14:15] Knives**
I won't let you!
**[14:23] Knives**
Doctor! Cut off the lab!
**[14:26] Knives**
Let them free!
**[14:28] Vash**
Let go, Nai! I can't hold it anymore!
**[14:31] Vash**
At this rate, it'll be the whole planet,
including the plants!
**[14:34] Conrad**
What are you going to do, Knives?
The gate is closed.
**[14:37] Conrad**
I can't send you back to the plane!
**[14:40] Knives**
I'll push this energy back into Vash!
**[14:44] Knives**
I'll pry open the entrance
to the higher dimension again!
**[14:49] Knives**
Vash!
**[14:51] Knives**
I'm telling you to hand it over!
**[14:59] Knives**
We're out of time!
**[15:01] Knives**
Listen to me, Vash! This is a war!
**[15:05] Knives**
Let's gather our allies,
break free from the humans,
**[15:08] Knives**
and create a paradise for us Independents!
**[15:12] Knives**
It's the only way!
**[15:17] Vash**
Since when have we been so different?
**[15:23] Knives**
What are you talking about?
**[15:25] Knives**
You saw for yourself how they're running
our brethren red and killing them off!
**[15:30] Knives**
The humans will never
understand our Independence.
**[15:34] Knives**
They only see us as slaves!
**[15:37] Vash**
That's not true!
**[15:38] Knives**
Wake up, Vash!
**[15:40] Knives**
What's changed since
that day a hundred years ago?
**[15:43] Vash**
You're wrong.
**[15:44] Knives**
How long will you remain the hunted?!
**[15:47] Vash**
Even if they hunt me, I'll just run away!
**[15:50] Vash**
I'll run, run, run, and keep running
as far as I have to!
**[15:57] Vash**
And when things calm down,
I'll quietly settle by their side again.
**[16:01] Vash**
I'm Vash the Stampede.
**[16:09] Knives**
After more than a century...
**[16:15] Knives**
that's the best answer
you could come up with?!
**[16:24] Vash**
Let go! I can't contain it any longer!
**[16:49] Vash**
Stop!
**[16:51] Vash**
You'll die!
**[17:07] Knives**
What are you talking about, Vash?
**[17:09] Knives**
Nai is dead.
**[17:13] Knives**
You killed him.
**[17:26] Knives**
Give it to me!
**[17:32] Knives**
Take me back...
**[17:34] Vash**
Please stop, Nai!
**[17:36] Knives**
I'll do it.
**[17:41] Knives**
I will create it!
**[17:43] Vash**
Nai!
**[17:44] Knives**
No fear. No pain. No humiliation.
**[17:49] Knives**
I'll win a place for us...
**[17:57] Knives**
A paradise... for us...

Nai!
**[18:09] Vash**
Nai!
**[18:37] Radio Host**
* It's been two years since*
* that fateful July 21st.*
**[18:41] Radio Host**
* A crowd has gathered at what*
* used to be the third city of JuLai*
**[18:46] Radio Host**
*to pay their respects.*
**[18:48] Radio Host**
*Even after two years,*
**[18:51] Radio Host**
* the pain of losing their loved ones*
* has yet to heal.*
**[18:55] Radio Host**
* The suspect said to have*
* murdered 90 percent of the city,*
**[18:59] Radio Host**
*also known as the Humanoid Typhoon,*
**[19:02] Radio Host**
*still remains at large.*
**[19:05] Radio Host**
* That demon turned the whole city*
* into a gaping crater overnight.*
**[19:10] Radio Host**
* There is no forgetting the sorrow*
* of loved ones taken from you.*
**[19:16] Radio Host**
* The Alliance of Cities has raised*
* the bounty on Vash the Stampede*
**[19:21] Radio Host**
*to $$60 billion, the highest in history...*
**[19:26] Zazie**
I truly don't comprehend.
**[19:30] Zazie**
Turning Vash the Stampede into a villain?
**[19:33] Meryl**
You're from the Worms...
**[19:35] Zazie**
Thanks to the twins,
a bridge was cast across the void.
**[19:40] Zazie**
I'm here to give a warning.
**[19:43] Zazie**
Very soon, they'll arrive,
crossing over the wall of light.
**[19:46] Zazie**
From Earth.
**[19:51] Zazie**
We'll always be watching you.
**[19:55] Meryl**
Wait, what...
**[20:00] Boss**
*Where are you, Stryfe?!*
**[20:02] Meryl**
Umm... JuLai.
**[20:05] Boss**
* Keep acting up like this, and they'll*
* send you off to the Insurance Society!*
**[20:08] Meryl**
The Insurance Society?
**[20:10] Boss**
* Stop by headquarters.*
* They're assigning you a newbie.*
**[20:14] Meryl**
To me?
**[20:15] Boss**
* Some weirdo who wants to be*
* under you, of all people.*
**[20:18] Meryl**
A newbie...
**[20:19] Boss**
*I think her name's... Tom? Thompson?*
**[20:23] Boss**
*Milly Thompson or something like that.*
**[20:26] Meryl**
I see.
**[20:28] Boss**
*Hey, are you listening? Hey!*
**[20:32] Boss**
*Hey, Stryfe?*
**[20:36] Meryl**
Heya, newbie!
**[20:53] Lina**
Remember anything yet?
**[20:56] Lina**
It's okay if you don't.
**[21:00] Lina**
Seems like you've been through a lot.
**[21:04] Lina**
It's all right. You're safe here.
**[21:08] Lina**
Okay...
**[21:10] Lina**
Eriks?
**[21:34] [SONG] Lyrics**
Will I also become
**[21:39] [SONG] Lyrics**
A nighthawk in flight someday?
**[21:42] [SONG] Lyrics**
Shine, starlight, here at the dawn
**[21:48] [SONG] Lyrics**
Oh, light
**[22:01] [SONG] Lyrics**
A melody blooms by your window
**[22:07] [SONG] Lyrics**
Tomorrow is so far away
**[22:13] [SONG] Lyrics**
But there is a song calling out
**[22:16] [SONG] Lyrics**
To the stars at daybreak
**[22:19] [SONG] Lyrics**
Shine, starlight, here at the dawn
**[22:25] [SONG] Lyrics**
Oh, light
**[22:27] [SONG] Lyrics**
Let's quietly row our boat at dawn
**[22:33] [SONG] Lyrics**
Toward our destination
**[22:38] [SONG] Lyrics**
When we wake up, let's call forth a new wind
**[22:43] [SONG] Lyrics**
To keep up moving forward
**[22:48] [SONG] Lyrics**
I hear a clear voice
**[22:54] [SONG] Lyrics**
I hear a clear voice
**[23:09] Male Voice**
Project Pieces of Earth
now entering phase two.
**[23:13] Male Voice**
Drain gate deployment complete.
**[23:14] Male Voice**
Releasing experimental warp drive craft.
**[23:17] Chronica**
Wait.
**[23:18] Male Voice**
Suspending countdown. Locking command.
**[23:20] Male Voice**
Cutting power to spheres one through four.
**[23:23] Chronica**
Place interface changes on the Z axis.
Amplify 2.7 million times.
**[23:26] Chronica**
I see a fluctuation in the gate.
**[23:28] Male Voice**
A... fluctuation?
**[23:30] Chronica**
We're receiving something via subspace.
**[23:32] Chronica**
Give me readings from the entire solar system.
**[23:35] Male Voice**
Understood. Right away,
**[23:37] Male Voice**
Special Ops Lieutenant Colonel
Independent Chronica.
**[23:39] Chronica**
The noise is from...
**[23:42] Chronica**
It can't be! Project SEEDS?!
