[00:04] Religious Radio Host
    We Sinners were cast upon this land
    when the ark crashed.
[00:12] Religious Radio Host
    Now pray, and God shall send
    the angel of salvation our way.
[00:19] Religious Radio Host
    Praise the angel. Honor the angel.
    Become the angel's eyes.
[00:26] Religious Radio Host
    May God bless you.
[00:35] Rollo
    Dear God...
[00:37] Rollo
    Please let the wind blow.
[00:41] Rollo
    Otherwise...
[00:43] Rollo
    I...
[01:02] [SONG] OP
    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
[02:03] [SONG] OP
    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.
