Summary

After the town’s folk gather enough money for a repair crew to be called for to repair their power plant, Vash is hired as a body guard for the head engineer – an attractive woman who seems to have a particular interest in the gunslinger. An interest which might be accidentally mistaken to be affection. (TVDB)

Raw Sub Transcript

A $ $700,000 reward for the escaped convicts, the Nebraska Family!
That’s huge!
Hold it! Take that down.
Why? – They were caught.
It’s only been 5 hours since the warrant was issued!
That’s a new speed record!
You’ll be more surprised when you see who caught them.
The entire city of Inepril?! What is this?!
Just like it says. The entire city probably jumped ’em.
That’s a lot of divvying.
Maybe it’s populated by a bunch of macho men.
Are you really sure about this?
We tried to kill you.
And you’re the one who defeated the Nebraska Family.
So why did you pass up the $ $700,000?
Well, why not?
A pile of money like that would just be a nuisance to a drifter like me.
And besides, now I can eat all the salmon sandwiches I want here!
Right, Grams?
Darn tootin’! Eat up!
I’m jealous.
He could have bought up every sandwich factory with that.
Well then, have you finished your talk?
Well, yes…
Then you had better get away from him.
After all, this man is…
…Vash the Stampede, you know!
Isn’t that right?
Well, yeah…
Why did it have to be him?
Make way, make way!
Vash the Stampede is coming through!
He’s wanted for $ $60,000,000,000, feared as The Humanoid Typhoon…
…he’s the legendary ace gunman, folks!
If you go near him and he bites you, don’t expect any medical coverage!
Hey, Mr. Vash!
Stop by the saloon later. We got some of the good stuff!
Hi, Vash!
Hey, how long are you guys gonna hang around me like this?
Always!
It’s our job to control the damages in cases which involve you.
Right, ma’am?
That’s right.
That’s the face I want to make!
Do you have any idea how much money the society lost because of you?!
Now, now, ma’am…
I’ve found you, Vash the Stampede!!
It’s a bounty hunter!!
Nice try!
Nuts! I thought we’d get you!
Lucky for me, these girls aren’t on the ball!
I understand how you feel, ma’am, but please calm yourself!!
It’s the sand steamer!

Time to open shop! – Hurry!!
It’s a Humpback Class.
I’ve never seen such a huge sand steamer!
It’s incredible…
Yes…
Milly, where’s Vash?
He’s gone.
What shall we do?
What should we do?
Look at this! It’s the latest tasselled bugle!
Holy moly!
How about this much?
Come on, I’ve got kids to feed!
Hey, do you need an extra hard worker?
I could use a hard worker, but not a kid.
It’s like an annual festival.
The timing couldn’t be better!
The plant engineers came on the steamer…
…and we have more than enough to pay them.
My idea of calling in the Nebraska Family saved the day.
One false move would have spelled disaster.
You’re no fun.
There’s a real looker on that ship!
What a beautiful lady!
Hey, girl, wanna go out with me?
I’m Sodum, the guy in charge of this city.
Hey, don’t be so cold!
Watch where you’re going, dolt!
Don’t you know that I’m Supersonic Sodum?!
It’s better for me if you don’t know.
D-Don’t tell me…
You were just tired.
Vash the Stampede…
Age unknown, origin unknown, no fixed address.
Wanted for the murder of Count Lebnant Vasques…
…and the suspicion of class-G property damage.
They will pay $ $60,000,000,000 for you, dead or alive.
I know all about you.
That makes it so much quicker! Let’s get married right now!!
Wonderful proposal.
Ain’t it, though?
But I have you at a disadvantage.
You don’t know anything about me.
I can tell all on my own.
You are a passerby who had her heart stolen…
…by a peace-loving gunman who stands alone.
In a word, a fairy princess.
My name is Elizabeth.
I’m the chief engineer of the Marius Bresken Kantacle…
…Technical Industrial Union work dispatch team.
In short, you’re a fairylike plant engineer?
Do you know anything about plants?
Aren’t they, like, lost technology from over a hundred years ago?
That’s right.
They are systems which can achieve production beyond all theoretical law.
They are the leftovers from the Pandora’s Box we were given by God…
…that allow you and I to exist in this poor environment.
I came here to keep that hope alive.
And our marriage?
First, I want you to do a job for me.
Is there a reward in it?
I’ll give you what you want.
What I want?
I’ll do it, I’ll do it! I’ll do whatever you want!!
Over here! Everything’s dirt cheap!
Here’s a piping hot one.
Ooh, thanks!
For crying out loud, where did that man go?!
All of these extra people make it extra hard to find him.
That doesn’t mean he’s in there.
Hey there, cutie!
I’m ready and willing to be your obedient little doggie!
But you’re just a child.
That’s right! She may not look it, but she’s twenty…
He doesn’t need to know that!
Yeah, I’d advise against it! She’s really uptight!
Excuse me?!
Mr. Vash!
What? Vash?!
Where have you b…
Who is that?
A total babe!
That’s not what I mean.
I asked him to protect me while I revise the plant system program.
Oh.
Come, Spot!
SPOT?

Where’s the hotel? – We’re almost there, master!
Thank you, Spot.
It’s good we found him, isn’t it, ma’am?
Aren’t we going to follow him?
I’d rather do paperwork than keep watch over that idiot!
I’m beginning the restoration work at 6am sharp, so don’t be late.
Don’t worry! I’ve been called Rooster Boy, Early Bird, et cetera.
Aren’t we in the same room?
Not until my work is done, Spot. You sleep in the innermost room.
Good night.
It never goes my way.
Something’s coming.
Hey, you’re not playing fair!
Oopsies.
I don’t like sleeping with men.
Would you go now?
Gee, he did as I asked.
What? This is horrible!
Oh, hey! Pay it no mind and go back to sleep!
It’s V-V-V-Vash!!!
I’m glad I switched our room numbers in the hotel registry!
That’s not fair!
Aren’t you protecting me?
I’d at least like an explanation.
Tomorrow.
I lost my room, so can I share yours?
But you have a bed right there.
So cold…
I sure am glad you Bernardelli people are here.
Here’s my insurance policy.
By the way, who was staying in this room?
Can’t you tell by looking?
It was Vash the Stampede.
That guy…
There is only one reason why anyone would be after me.
Plant control uses much of the lost technology…
…and the knowledge to use it is in my head.
Still, that doesn’t mean I understand what the plant really is.
How have you managed so far?
The union always sent an escort with me.
But when I came here you were here for me.
I’ll strive to live up to your expectations!
Hey, you! You can’t come in here!
We’re working!
I hear that you’re behind the hotel explosion.
Y-You got the wrong idea!
It was your fault, wasn’t it?!
The chief will get mad at us for not doing our job!
But I was the victim!
Besides, you’re not really crying.
At any rate, you cannot be allowed into an important place like this!
But I need him here.
Spot is guarding me, after all.
He may look harmless, but he is still Vash the Stampede.
That’s why I came to him.
I’m telling you that trouble swarms in this man’s footsteps!
Chief!
There’s a malfunction in section no.3!
What timing!
Nooo!
The production system in plant no.4 suddenly started operating!
Shut down the main!
Yes, ma’am!
It’s no good. It’s not shutting down!
This is bad. We’ll have to send the plant new data directly.
Spot? – Yes?

Come with me. – Coming!
Wait a minute!
Please understand. Even if I must shake you free…
…I must go!
The situation is dynamically wrong here!
Ma’am, let’s take shelter! Trouble is already swarming after him!

Flip the switch. – Right!

Get in. – Right!
Get back!
Run.
Can’t you run?
Finished warming up?
It’s a mystery to me how you got in here.
You’re actually kind of cute!
I guess I would have to get someone better to beat you.
What do you mean? Am I being punished?
I want you to die.
Are you after the reward?
No.
I want you to die for 0104 A.F., July 21 st, 2:06 am.
Do you remember?
That was when you first got a criminal record.
That’s right… You transformed the third city, July, my hometown…
…into Hell!
I don’t know what kind of witchcraft you used…
The city was so badly destroyed, yet no one was killed.
But do you know what?
1,400,000 people became homeless and destitute!
Those people, parched in both body and soul…
…abused one another, stole from one another…
…and despised one another.
That’s right… Because of you…
…I was thrown into Hell, and I stayed alive!
Mom…
Dad…
What’s wrong? Why aren’t you moving?
I remember it even now.
Wandering through the wreckage of what used to be a city…
…at the age of 3.
I’ll let you have a taste of the pain and sadness I felt then.
Now is the time…
…to avenge my mother and father!
Die…
Die and repent!
Vash the Stampede!!
What can I do…
…what?
It’s no good. The power levels aren’t dropping!
If we don’t control it, in a few hours it will trigger an overflow!
Fire has entered the Enomes range.
If it explodes, it’ll leave a crater 200 yarz wide!
I input the data. How are the power levels?
It’s no good! They’re not dropping!
Everyone get away from the facility! Quickly!
Yes, ma’am!
Excuse me, but where’s Mr. Vash?
He stayed behind.
He’s staying there to the end.
But there’s no point in his staying behind!

I’m going to get him back! – But it’s no good, ma’am!
Get out quickly or you’ll be killed.
What?! The plant is activated.
Damn! Did that woman leave me to die with him?!
That wasn’t our deal!
What?
What the heck are you?
What are you doing?!
This can’t be happening!
It was so hard to get the funds…
We have to run now.
But Vash is still in there!
Ma’am, come on…
The plant!
How?!
the levels Are dropping! – But how Did That happen?
how should I know?
It can’t be!
It couldn’t be!
All right!
He did it! Vash did it!!
I don’t believe it, ma’am!
He stopped the plant from blowing up!!
Yeah.
Thanks, Mr. Vash!
Aren’t you going?
He really does like to scare people.
Come on, let’s go organize our papers.
Huh?
Ma’am, wait up!
You…
How?!
I’m sorry I didn’t die.
I didn’t want the city to go with me.
How dare you… How dare you say that!
If you destroyed the plant, you’d be the same as me.
I know that…
…but I don’t want to hear that from you.
You, who destroyed July!
I have no memory.
That ruined city and piles of debris…
…were the first things I ever saw.
I have no memory of anything before that…
…except for memories of my childhood.
It wasn’t you?
I don’t know.
Then…
Then let me blame you for it! Let me have my revenge!
Way to go, Mr. Vash! The city is saved!
Why did it have to be you?!
Why did someone like you have to be Vash the Stampede?!
I’m sorry.
It couldn’t be the same man…
This can’t be…
It was you?
That can’t be… That can’t be…
There is a tragedy being endlessly repeated to fulfil a desire.
The lust for conquest. The thrill of making people bend to your will…
…is intense enough to make you shudder.
There is a man who is a slave to that ecstasy.
The leader of the Bad Lads, a man who shines…
…Brilliant Dynamites Neon.
The moment the huge dynamos mounted on each of his shoulders begin to spark…
…the sand steamer will shake.
In the pitch black darkness, the gruesome party begins.
