    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.

[22:35] OP Lyrics
    My tears scattered like bits of paper
[22:38] OP Lyrics
    Scared of the unknowable tomorrow
[22:42] OP Lyrics
    I lived the same day over
    and over, back and forth
[22:45] OP Lyrics
    But a new morning never came
[22:49] OP Lyrics
    All the reasons to calm down
[22:51] OP Lyrics
    Are just some moments until the crash
[22:56] OP Lyrics
    I’m no longer the one that everyone knows
[22:59] OP Lyrics
    Took off the fragile armor
[23:04] OP Lyrics
    I don’t want to lose any more love
[23:11] OP Lyrics
    I don’t want to lose any more love
[23:18] OP Lyrics
    There’s still no line
    between today and tomorrow
[23:22] OP Lyrics
    My waking nightmare doesn’t end
[23:26] OP Lyrics
    And yet I won’t lose hope
[23:29] OP Lyrics
    And yet there’s no night
