**[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**
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
