Raw Sub Transcript

Radio Host	We have an update on the plant robberies taking place all over the planet.
Radio Host	Sources say the stolen plants are being transported to JuLai.
Radio Host	The JuLai government is denying all allegations of involvement.
Radio Host	The investigation is ongoing.
Zazie	Who will benefit this planet more? Humans?
Zazie	Or plants?
Zazie	Which do you think?
Meryl	Whose side are you on?
Zazie	Humans really like dividing things into groups.
Zazie	The Worms take no sides. We are the planet.
Zazie	Here’s what Knives thinks…
Zazie	You greedy humans aren’t capable of using plants correctly.
Zazie	In fact,
Zazie	you’ll devour them just like you did your previous planet, Earth.
Zazie	You know about the Last Run, don’t you?
Roberto	Is that why you’re gathering red plants?
Zazie	Better than wasting them, don’t you think?
Zazie	So, humans or plants? Which will benefit this planet more?
Meryl	I know we can’t keep going the way we are.
Meryl	There are people raising flora, a replacement for plants.
Conrad	You mean Luida.
Conrad	Luida is a geoplant specialist.
Conrad	I’m sure she’s pursuing her own way of saving the human race on this planet.
Conrad	I am doing the same.
Meryl	You are? That’s not the impression I got.
Conrad	Follow me.
Roberto	Where do you think you’re going?
Meryl	You’re not coming?
Roberto	Is there a clearance sale on your life or something?
Meryl	This is our chance to find out what Millions Knives is after.
Zazie	Stolen from right under my nose…
Vash	This is JuLai…
Vash	It’s changed quite a bit.
Wolfwood	JuLai, the third city…
Wolfwood	A fortified metropolis, largest of the seven cities.
Wolfwood	Thanks to her monopoly on water-producing plants,
Wolfwood	she can buy up all the bullets she wants.
Wolfwood	I’d call her opulent.
Wolfwood	You dipshit!
Chuck Lee	I remember you!
Chuck Lee	Hey! Hold it!
Chuck Lee	Stop it! Stop right there!
Soldier X	Halt! Or I’ll shoot!
Chuck Lee	That’s right. Be good little boys.
Wolfwood	All right, Officer…
Wolfwood	What’d we do to deserve this?
Chuck Lee	Don’t play dumb! He’s the Humanoid Typhoon.
Chuck Lee	Are you here to destroy this city, too?!
Soldier X	I won’t let you turn JuLai into the next Jeneora Rock!
Vash	Don’t do it, Wolfwood.
Wolfwood	Is now really the time for that?
Soldier X	My parents were in Jeneora Rock when it happened.
Soldier X	And you… How could you?
Wolfwood	Hey, Needle-noggin!
Wolfwood	Hey! Are you okay?!
Chuck Lee	I-I-I didn’t give the order to shoot!
Wolfwood	Put a sock in it, asshole!
Chuck Lee	Okay!
Wolfwood	Tch…
Vash	Let’s go.
Wolfwood	Hey, Needle-noggin!
Soldier B	After them!
Conrad	You must have seen the flora and thought, “What a wonderful breakthrough.”
Meryl	I did.
Conrad	But that plan would take an extraordinarily long time to implement.
Conrad	Are you certain mankind would survive until then?
Conrad	Luida’s ambition of changing the environment is admirable.
Conrad	But time is of the essence.
Conrad	We don’t have the luxury of exploring alternatives.
Roberto	And so what’s your answer, then?
Conrad	Humanity.
Title	{\bord0\shad0\pos(322.667,162.667)\fs22\fnCourier New\c&HDCE1DF&}#10 Humanity
Conrad	Requiring neither food nor drink,
Conrad	capable of withstanding the temperature differential of the desert…
Conrad	My goal was a new breed of humanity.
Meryl	You… operate on people here?
Conrad	You’ve seen them.
Conrad	E. G. the Mine.
Conrad	Monev the Gale.
Conrad	Livio the Double Fang.
Roberto	And Nicholas.
Meryl	What? The undertaker?
Conrad	Yes, Nicholas the Punisher.
Conrad	He, too, is my creation.
Wolfwood	Hanging around you is gonna get me killed.
Vash	Sorry.
Wolfwood	You turn into a deer the moment you’re up against humans.
Vash	I’m sorry. But thank you.
Wolfwood	Huh?
Vash	You didn’t kill them.
Wolfwood	How could I? You took off without me.
Wolfwood	Get yourself patched up already!
Wolfwood	Or are you gonna fart around till you pass out?
Vash	Got it.
Wolfwood	Needle-noggin…
Wolfwood	Those scars…
Vash	Oh, how embarrassing.
Vash	Ow…
Wolfwood	So that’s the price you pay for saving everyone.
Wolfwood	It’s not hard to imagine how people have treated an aberration like you.
Wolfwood	I can’t understand why you want to help humans so much.
Wolfwood	How do you even put up with ’em?
Vash	My body moves before I can think.
Vash	I can’t abandon anyone who’s in tight spot.
Vash	That includes you.
Wolfwood	So you figured me out.
Wolfwood	Did you think sacrificing yourself will make everyone happy?
Meryl	How awful…
Conrad	They were all doomed to die of illness or poverty.
Conrad	I saved lives and gave purpose to ordinary folk who had none.
Roberto	You kidnapped orphans and sick people to toy with them.
Meryl	He’s right!
Conrad	I did nothing to demean them!
Roberto	Yeah, I bet. You seem even more uptight than you look.
Roberto	Want a sip?
Conrad	My surgeries helped make them tougher.
Conrad	But that was all. They still hungered and thirsted.
Conrad	They were failures.
Conrad	Nothing like Millions Knives, the Independent plant…
Conrad	The ultimate life-form.
Conrad	So if we cannot patch people together, we must alter them before birth.
Conrad	Thus, with help from Knives and the study of lab-grown clones,
Conrad	we created this child.
Meryl	How could you…
Conrad	But its power level is only around that of a supply gate.
Conrad	The child neither human nor plant.
Meryl	But can’t you see these kids are already born?
Conrad	I just want you to understand…
Conrad	that this is for the future of mankind on this planet.
Meryl	What arrogance…
Conrad	If that’s what you think, young lady, you may kill me right here and now.
Conrad	You will get what you want and save a few lives, yes.
Conrad	But at the same time, you’ll be killing countless possibilities.
Conrad	Both Knives and I are looking much further ahead into the future.
Conrad	It’s a lonely job, but it must be done.
Conrad	For the sake of creating a new human race, I would pay any price.
Conrad	Even if that must be one of the twins.
Roberto	Nonsense. You think you’re gonna save the world?
Roberto	What’s more important than how you feel seeing these kids right here in front of you?
Meryl	I pity them…
Elendira	Who are you to pity me?
Elendira	That’s why I hate humans.
Elendira	You only ever judge by what you can see.
Conrad	Stop it, Elendira!
Elendira	Silence!
Roberto	H-Hey!
Roberto	Wow, it worked.
Roberto	What did I tell you?!
Meryl	I’m sorry!
Roberto	Always sticking your nose into trouble…
Meryl	I’m sorry!
Roberto	If I get hurt and worker’s comp doesn’t cover it, you’re on the hook!
Meryl	I’m sorry!
Roberto	That doc is crazy.
Roberto	This is a trap. They’re trying to lure Vash here.
Meryl	We have to let him know!
Meryl	Please hurry! Hurry!
Elendira	Found you.
Elendira	Oh, no! You would kill a pitiful creature like me?
Elendira	How cruel! Horrible! Awful!
Elendira	See? Always judging by looks.
Elendira	You’re all driven by discrimination.
Roberto	You monster.
Elendira	Monster? Did you just call me a monster?
Elendira	You should really… speak for yourself.
Roberto	We’re almost there.
Roberto	Just gotta survive until the elevator comes.
Meryl	Huh?
Roberto	We run on the count of three.
Roberto	One, two…
Roberto	Three!
Meryl	Vash?!
Vash	Quickly now, you two!
Roberto	Took you long enough!
Elendira	Punisher!
Roberto	Jeez, talk about in the nick of time.
Meryl	Phew, we’re safe. But how did you…
Roberto	Call it a hunch.
Meryl	Don’t go, Vash! It’s a trap!
Elendira	Ouch! Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
Elendira	Oh, the pain…
Wolfwood	That’s pathetic, you dummy.
Elendira	I hate you!
Wolfwood	Well, the feeling’s mutual. Maybe we’ll get along after all.
Elendira	We will not, you jerk! Just get out of here.
Wolfwood	Yeah, yeah.
Vash	Does it hurt?
Vash	Your injury…
Elendira	Don’t touch me, scum!
Elendira	You traitor! You don’t even know how much Lord Knives…
Wolfwood	Hey, Needle-noggin!
Wolfwood	Leave the little creep alone. Let’s scram.
Meryl	Come on, Roberto! We have to go after them and…
Roberto	Goodness gracious…
Roberto	Looks like I messed up.
Meryl	No!
Roberto	Maybe I had a bit too much to drink.
Roberto	Keep your hands to yourself. It hurts enough.
Meryl	But… But the bleeding…
Roberto	Pass me my booze.
Meryl	This is no time for that!
Roberto	Will you ever get off my case? Good grief.
Roberto	If I drink, it might just come out the hole in my gut.
Meryl	This is all my fault…
Roberto	Yeah.
Roberto	You limited what I can drink, so…
Roberto	Damn, my head’s too clear for this.
Roberto	Take this.
Meryl	No! I can’t leave you!
Roberto	You listen here. You’re in charge from now on.
Roberto	Follow your heart.
Meryl	No.
Roberto	You can run if you want. Well?
Roberto	Meryl Stryfe.
Roberto	I… was just unlucky…
Meryl	I’m sorry…
Wolfwood	Not wanting to kill anyone…
Wolfwood	That’s just a coward’s idealism.
Wolfwood	Even a kid could tell you that.
Wolfwood	Folks only get to live ’cause other people die.
Wolfwood	That’s the world we live in.
Wolfwood	I don’t have the luxury of being afraid to make tough decisions.
Wolfwood	I have to choose.
Wolfwood	In order to protect the things that are dear to me.
Wolfwood	So I’ll do anything I have to.
Wolfwood	As a guide.
Vash	For the orphanage?
Wolfwood	What a load of babysitting this job turned out to be.
Wolfwood	Dragging someone so eager to die all the way out here alive…
Wolfwood	But it’s done now.
Vash	Wolfwood.
Vash	Thanks for everything.
Knives	One of our brethren from back then.
Knives	I keep her here as a warning for myself.
Vash	The humans aren’t exploiting them because they want to.
Knives	What did you come all the way out here for?
Vash	To take back the plants.
Vash	And not just that.
Vash	The rash of robberies everywhere… That was you, Nai, wasn’t it?
Knives	What an accusation.
Knives	All I’m doing is rescuing our brethren who’ve been discriminated against and oppressed.
Vash	We can coexist with humans too, Nai!
Knives	Vash!
Knives	You don’t want to save the humans because you love them.
Knives	You just want to make up for causing the crash 150 years ago.
Conrad	Your contract is complete. Take this.
Wolfwood	What good is this piece of paper supposed to do?
Wolfwood	I’ll never forget what you did to me. Or to Livio.
Conrad	Nicholas, were you able to lay down your cross?
Wolfwood	What about you?
Flashback,Younger Conrad	I can’t believe it! Nai?!
Flashback,Younger Conrad	You survived the crash… the Big Fall?
Flashback,Teenage Nai	Long time no see, Count Lebnant Vasques. Or should I say…
Flashback,Teenage Nai	Researcher Bill Conrad?
Flashback,Teenage Nai	You choose. Join the trash heap of hundreds of thousands perished…
Flashback,Teenage Nai	Or live and atone for the Sinners’ transgressions.
Flashback,Younger Conrad	Where did those eyes…
Flashback,Younger Conrad	Forgive me.
Flashback,Younger Conrad	What I have done to you… cannot be undone…
Flashback,Conrad	My atonement is unending.
Knives	No matter how much you try to atone, the humans will never forgive you.
Knives	No matter how much you fool yourself,
Knives	in their eyes, you’re still a monster.
Vash	I know humans make sacrifices in order to live,
Vash	but they’re trying to move forward.
Vash	I want to believe in them.
Knives	I feel sorry for you. You’re sick.
Knives	I’ll put you out of your misery.
Knives	I will remake you.
Knives	To be more like me…
Knives	The perfect Independent!
Vash	Don’t, Nai!
Knives	All shall be even again.
