Vash and Wolfwood work together to stop Livio, an assassin who has lost his sense of self. The chaos is further accelerated by an attack by the Bad Lads Gang. While this is happening, someone sabotages the Sandsteamer, sending it on a crash course with Hopeland, Wolfwood’s home town. (TVDB)
My Responsibility
Humpback Bridge Crew
Bridge to all hands!
Humpback Bridge Crew
We’ve lost control of the helm! Cause unknown!
Humpback Bridge Crew
We’re off course!
Humpback Bridge Crew
At this rate, we’ll ram into Hopeland!
Wolfwood
Oh, no…
Wolfwood
That’s where the orphanage is!
Bad Lads
Find the goods!
Bad Lads
We’re taking this ship, gang!
Wolfwood
Damn it! We’re busy here!
Bad Lads
Crap! Run! Get back!
Bad Lads
What’s with this guy?!
Bad Lads
Don’t hesitate! Push on!
Bad Lads
It’s open! We’re taking over!
Wolfwood
Damn, how many of these goons are there?
Wolfwood
Move it, Needle-noggin! If you stay here, we’ll just die together!
Bad Lads
Grab anything that glitters!
Wolfwood
Get going already!
Bad Lads
Report to the boss!
Vash
I’ll be right back!
Wolfwood
That idiot just won’t listen!
Wolfwood
And neither do you!
Wolfwood
You’re staying here!
Wolfwood
This is my responsibility.
Wolfwood
So I’ll handle it… I’ll kill you myself.
Bad Lads
Bad Lads
Let’s go!
Bad Lad 7-B
Come on! Take a good one!
Meryl
O-Of course… Well, here we go!
Meryl & Bad Lads 7-B through 7-E
Okay!
Meryl & Bad Lads 7-B through 7-E
Nice!
Meryl & Bad Lads 7-B through 7-E
Good!
Bad Lad 7-C
I can’t believe we’re gonna be on the cover of an outlaw magazine!
Bad Lad 7-D
Man, we’ve come so far!
Bad Lad 7-E
Hey, you’d better not use any bad pictures!
Bad Lad 7-E
I’ll gut you and feed your innards to the Worms!
Bad Lad 7-D
Don’t scare the kid, you idiot!
Bad Lad 7-D
That was just a joke, okay, little lady?
Bad Lad 7-B
Hey, laugh more.
Bad Lad 7-B
Yeah, that’s the spirit! Gotta keep smiling in life, right?
Meryl
Roberto…
Roberto
I don’t even know.
Bad Lad 7-B
Who are you?!
Meryl
Vash?!
Vash
What are you guys doing here?
Meryl
Er, gee, I wonder…
Roberto
Where’s the undertaker?
Vash
He’s…
Meryl
More of them!
Vash
Stand back.
Vash
Sorry. I’m in a hurry.
Soldier 7-A
Monsters…
Soldier 7-B
H-H-Hey!
Soldiers
Run! They’ll kill us all!
Meryl
Who is Vash, really?
Roberto
Not human, that’s for sure.
I Have To Catch Up
Livio
Catch up…
Livio
I have to catch up.
Flashback,Young Livio
I have to catch up.
Flashback,Young Livio
I have to be like Nico one day…
Livio
I have to catch up to him…
Wolfwood
Livio, you were always following me around.
Wolfwood
You’re such a pain.
Wolfwood
You… need to stop chasing after me.
Wolfwood
You… Things would’ve been better off without you around.
Wolfwood
Wait for me in hell.
Wolfwood
Needle-noggin?!
The Next Eye
Zazie
Aww, it got shot.
Legato
Hurry up and prepare the next eye.
Zazie
Ooh, so scary.
Something He’d Never Forget
Wolfwood
Why’d you come back?!
Vash
He’s important to you, right?
Vash
I’ll help.
Wolfwood
What? Enough already!
Wolfwood
If I could do it, I would have by now!
Vash
Bring back his real self!
Vash
There has to be something he’d never forget!
Wolfwood
Needle-noggin!
Wolfwood
That blabbermouth…
Wolfwood
Who’s behind this?
Wolfwood
Something he’d never forget. Right.
Meryl
Undertaker?
Wolfwood
This ends…
Wolfwood
right now.
Wolfwood
Wake up already.
Wolfwood
You’ve always been like this.
Wolfwood
Whenever something bad happens, you hide under the blankets.
Flashback,Young Wolfwood
Livio.
Livio
Nico…
Wolfwood
Livio?
Master Chapel
Remember this. Remember who you are.
Master Chapel
Kill all who stand in our way.
Master Chapel
Based on absolute veneration, fueled by complete self-sacrifice…
Master Chapel
The perfect executor.
Master Chapel
We are the Eye of Michael.
Wolfwood
Livio!
Wolfwood
Livio!
Rudder
Sailor A
Stop this ship already!
Sailor B
It’s no use! The rudder won’t respond!
Sailor B
Damn it! What’s going on?!
Sailor C
This is bad. If we don’t do something…
Sailor C
we’ll ram straight into Hopeland!
Sailor C
We’ll take out the whole town!
Meryl
Something’s wrong with the ship.
Roberto
What’s going on?
Wolfwood
Who did this?!
The Perfect Believer
Zazie
Is this what you wanted?
Legato
Lack of faith is the real problem.
Legato
There’s no need for emotion.
Legato
Without his little brother, without the orphanage, he can be the perfect believer.
Zazie
So that’s why you sent the brother in.
Legato
I just want to spread the good word. That’s all.
Legato
Why is that so hard?
Zazie
I think it’s a misunderstanding.
Legato
I’ve had enough. I’ll take out the orphanage by force.
Legato
With his brother and the orphanage gone, I’m sure he’ll change his mind.
Legato
This is my version of love…
Legato
Punisher.
Ion Cannon
Italics,Sailor D
What’s going on?! The upper deck is moving!
Italics,Sailor E
We don’t know!
Vash
That’s… an ion cannon.
Meryl
Ion cannon?!
Roberto
C’mon, you gotta be kidding me.
Roberto
Not only is the ship going berserk, there’s also a huge cannon?
Roberto
Welp, I say it’s time to throw in the towel.
Meryl
Roberto!
Roberto
I don’t know who orchestrated this, but we’re done.
Wolfwood
That car…
Wolfwood
What are they doing here?
Zazie
Hi!
Wolfwood
We’re stopping both the ion cannon and the ship.
Roberto
Seriously?
Meryl
Do you know how?
Wolfwood
Of course I frickin’ don’t!
Meryl
Huh?
Wolfwood
But we’ll make it happen with guts and grit!
Meryl
Huh? That’s nonsense.
Vash
Follow me!
Roberto
H-Hang on!
Spaceship
Meryl
Why does this ship even have an ion cannon?
Vash
It was originally for destroying obstacles.
Vash
The ship uses parts from the Spacefaring Age.
Vash
And this is…
Meryl
The control room?
Roberto
Well, damn, it’s actually a spaceship.
Meryl
I’ve never seen machines like this before.
Vash
Please work…
Meryl
You did it!
Vash
No, not yet.
Vash
It’s not working… I can’t move the shaft.
Meryl
So you can’t stop it?
Vash
The only way now is to turn the ship or the cannon manually.
Roberto
What? This huge thing?
Roberto
You can’t be serious. That’s‚Äî
Wolfwood
Fine. I’ll do it.
Wolfwood
It’s the only way, right?!
Bring It Home
Zazie
Just be careful with the plant, okay?
Legato
But of course. We’ll bring it home without so much as a scratch.
Loader Cranes
Vash
There’s no time.
Wolfwood
That’s obvious!
Vash
Take care of the cannon!
Wolfwood
Ugh, damn it!
Wolfwood
Okay.
Wolfwood
Hey! Watch what you’re doing!
Lifeboat
Humpback AI
Main cannon energy charging. Forty percent charged and rising.
Flashback,Vash
Once we move the cannon, I want you to activate the trigger mechanism!
Humpback AI
Initiating firing sequence shortly.
Roberto
Let’s go, newbie.
Roberto
I found a lifeboat. We can still make it.
Meryl
What? What are you talking about?
Roberto
We’re not risking our lives. That was our deal.
Roberto
What’s your job? It’s to survive and write an article about this.
Roberto
Stop trying to be a hero. We’re both just normal people.
Meryl
You don’t believe they can move the cannon?
Roberto
Or stop the ship. Now let’s go.
Impossible
Bad Lads
Time to get out of here!
Wolfwood
Damn it all to hell…
Wolfwood
There’s no way!
Wolfwood
Any idiot would know this is impossible.
Vash
Buy us some time!
I’m Staying Right Here
Roberto
Come on, newbie, that’s an order!
Humpback AI
Sixty percent charged and rising.
Meryl
I’m sorry, Roberto. Please go on without me.
Meryl
I’m staying put.
Roberto
You fool! You’ll die here!
Meryl
I know this is stupid!
Meryl
So I won’t blame anyone for running away.
Meryl
But me? I’m sick of it!
Meryl
I regret what happened in Jeneora Rock.
Meryl
If only I had held on to Tonis,
Meryl
he wouldn’t have lost his arm.
Meryl
I’ve regretted it all this time.
Meryl
And if I run away now, I’ll feel the same way.
Meryl
So…
Meryl
I’m staying right here!
Ion Cannon Fires
Humpback AI
Eighty percent charged.
Vash
I’m sorry, Wolfwood.
Wolfwood
What’re you going on about now?
Vash
There was something you wanted to protect more than anything else.
Wolfwood
Enough already! This isn’t the time!
Humpback AI
Main cannon firing sequence 90 percent complete.
Humpback AI
Ninety-one. Ninety-two.
Wolfwood
Save it for after everything works out!
Humpback AI
Ninety-three. Ninety-four.
Humpback AI
Ninety-six. Ninety-seven.
Humpback AI
Ninety-eight. Ninety-nine.
Humpback AI
One hundred percent. Plant output at maximum.
Vash & Wolfwood
Now!
Meryl
Right!
I’m The Punisher
Wolfwood
No time to rest.
Wolfwood
I’ll stop this ship by making it self-destruct.
Vash
What about the people on board?
Wolfwood
This isn’t the time for that!
Vash
I’ll save both the town and the ship!
Wolfwood
If you can’t kill anyone, you can’t save anyone!
Vash
There’s a way!
Wolfwood
Have it your way. Just for today!
Wolfwood
I do owe you one.
Wolfwood
But if the orphanage doesn’t survive this,
Wolfwood
I’ll hurt you so bad you’ll wish you were dead before I kill you.
