[00:06] Radio Host
    We have an update on the plant robberies
    taking place all over the planet.
[00:11] Radio Host
    Sources say the stolen plants
    are being transported to JuLai.
[00:17] Radio Host
    The JuLai government is denying
    all allegations of involvement.
[00:22] Radio Host
    The investigation is ongoing.
[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
    between today and tomorrow
[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,

    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

[23:13] [SONG] ED Lyrics
    My song is a song of joy and wishes
