Episode 21: Residents Under the Ground


Lana

		Conan

Conan

		Hot hot hot.

Monsley

		No, I can't control it!

Conan

		No, we'll be crushed!

Monsley

		Hang on!

Conan

		Run!  It'll explode!

Lana

		Conan!

Dyce

		No, wait!

Lana

		Unhand me!

Dyce

		No, you'll be captured!

Lana

		Conan!  He'll die.

Dyce

		If he could die so easily, I would've never had any trouble.
		Shit, it's coming here.

Jimsy

		Ouch.

Dyce

		It's a crack from the earthquake.
		We're trapped here!

Jimsy

		Dyce, here is a hole.
		Look.

Dyce

		Hey it's an underground tunnel of Triangle Tower.

Jimsy

		Do you think we can get to the underground from here?

Dyce

		Yeah, it's messed up but we probably can.
		It's no good to stay here.

Jimsy

		How are we gonna do it?

Dyce

		How?  Well Conan isn't here, so...
		How are we gonna do it...

Jimsy

		How come you don't have any ideas?  You're an adult!

Dyce

		Don't criticize me.  You don't have any ideas either!

Jimsy

		What do you mean!

Lana

		Let's go to the underground town by ourselves.

Dyce

		Then how about Conan?

Jimsy

		Will we abandon him?

Lana

		No, but we can't do anything now.
		Conan will understand.

Dyce

		Lana-dear.

Lana

		Let's go.  After we find my grandpa, we'll have an idea how to free Conan.

Dyce

		Yes, I was also thinking that is the only way to do it.

Jimsy

		What nerve.

Dyce

		Shut up!
		Let's go.  I am at your service.

Lana

		Conan.

Lepka

		It's me.

Man

		Chief, report from the Falco.

Man

		There were some people who escaped from the hydroplane before Falco shot it down.
		Lana, Dyce and a boy.

Lepka

		What?

Man

		Seems like they went down to the crack.
		I have sent men to the West Block.
		As soon as we find them, we'll arrest them.

Lepka

		Good.  Don't let them escape.
		Make any sacrifice to get them.
		And when Monsley recovers consciousness, bring her here.
		What luck!
		Everything is coming into my hands.
		Triangle Tower will become the Solar Tower and serve me soon!

Man

		Inform all Citizens.  Inform all Citizens.
		Cooperate to arrest Lana who's snuck underground.
		Repeat!  Cooperate to arrest Lana!
		Arrest Lana!  Arrest Lana!

Dyce

		I'm sure that this tunnel goes to the Residential Area.
		Wait!
		We can use this.
		Come, Lana-dear.

Jimsy

		They've come.

Dyce

		Let's run for the area in this.
		Get in!  Hurry!
		Dyce, hurry!

Dyce

		Damn!  It's stuck.

Jimsy

		Jesus!

Monsley

		Are you sure they escaped into here?
		I'm sure, search everywhere.
		There they are!

Dyce

		Don't shoot!
		Alas, this is the end.

Man

		Raise your hands!

D&J

		Help, don't kill me!

Monsley

		Where is Lana?

D&J

		We don't know, we don't know!
		We really don't know!!

Man

		Wait!
		Wait!
		Check in the trolley.

Jimsy

		Dyce!

Dyce

		I got it!

Man

		Follow them!

Dyce

		Good-bye!

Man

		They'll go to the Residential Area!
		Report to that area!

Men

		Yes.
		Yes!

Dyce

		Soon we'll be in the Residential Area.
		It's water!
		What the hell.
		That was close.
		What is it?
		There is water everywhere.

Lana

		Water is coming from the sea through cracks.

Dyce

		Yeah, it's really salty.

Jimsy

		I bet it's because of the earthquake!

Dyce

		Geez, we just wasted our time.
		Soon all of the underground area will be soaked.

Lana

		So is this the Residential Area?

Dyce

		No, we came down a little too far by the trolley.
		So, it must be a little bit above us.

Lana

		Then, let's go to the Residential Area.  We must see the people of underground.

Dyce

		Look, Lana-dear, maybe Dr. Lao is not here anymore.
		He must have escaped, because of this flooding.

Lana

		He must be here!
		Since the Industrians haven't escaped yet, he still must be here!
		Jimsy, do you remember a man Luke who helped us at the Core Block?

Jimsy

		Luke?  Oh, you mean that man?!
		I see, we just have to find him!

Lana

		Yes, I think my grandpa is with him and his friends.

Jimsy

		Yes.  Ok, let's go!

Dyce

		I hope he hasn't escaped yet.

Jimsy

		Hey Dyce, you jerk!

Dyce

		Shut up!  I'm just thinking everything for Lana-dear.
		Damn, they come so soon.

Lana

		Let's go.

Dyce

		I agree.
		Be careful.
		These areas have been damaged a lot too.
		The gates were left open.
		Because of that we could get in here.

Lana

		There are people, let's ask there.

Man

		Get out!
		So, you're sure that none of you saw them?
		Dyce, Lana and a little boy.
		If you hide them, 
		You'll be severely punished.
		It's wasting time to talk to those.  Let's leave.

Resident

		Wait, please.

Man

		What?  Don't touch me!

Resident

		Is it true that Industria will sink into the sea?

Man

		What?  Who said that?

Resident

		Everyone knows it.
		As each earthquake occurs, water floods in from everywhere.
		The machinery has stopped too.
		How are we going to live?
		Rations are decreasing too.

Man

		It's just temporary.  Don't worry.

Resident

		Liar!  You know the truth. . .  You'll just leave us here and let us die!

Man

		You!
		Get out!
		The bastard!
		I'll give you a little education!

Dyce

		Wow, they're so excited.

Jimsy

		You asshole!

Monsley

		There's Lana!

Jimsy

		Come, come!

Monsley

		We found Lana.
		They're escaping toward F area from B block.

Dyce

		Idiot!  They found us!

Monsley

		Don't shoot!
		Don't shoot!
		Surround them and get 'em alive!

Man

		This way!
		Lana is going to F to A!  Get them!
		Lana has passed now!  We can get them at A area!

Luke

		Here!  This way hurry!
		Hurry, come!  Disappeared!
		What's wrong?  They must be here!

Luke

		Silence!

Lana

		You are!

Luke

		You must be Lana, miss?

Lana

		Yes, Mr. Luke.

Luke

		Oh, you remembered my name.
		And you're Jimsy aren't you?

Jimsy

		Uncle, it's been a long time!
		Dyce, how long will you hold me!

Dyce

		What?  I was doing so because of you!

Title

		--- Break ---

Lepka

		Remarkable results, Monsley.
		I see, so High Harbor became ours completely.
		I admire you.

Monsley

		I brought Lana after a lot of hardship but that idiot pilot of Falco messed up everything.
		And where's Lana now?

Lepka

		We're searching now.
		I wish you would join the search too.

Monsley

		But I'm wounded.

Lepka

		Well, rest yourself.
		By the way I meant to talk to you about Conan.
		Right before the hydroplane exploded he saved you didn't he?
		Why did he save you?
		He could have just left by himself.

Monsley

		Well, I do not understand.

Lepka

		Well, anyway, because of that you were saved.

Monsley

		Chief, may I leave since I do not feel well?

Lepka

		Yes, but why don't you see Dr. Lao before you leave?

Monsley

		What?  Dr. Lao?

Lepka

		Haven't I told you yet?
		He is already in my hands.

Lana

		So my grandpa is alive?

Luke

		Yes, it is certain.
		For a long time Dr. Lao has been fighting with us against Lepka to change Industria.
		One day we were cornered and arrested.
		Look at our foreheads.
		This is the brand Lepka uses to mark rebels.  But for it's a badge of honor.
		The pain we got is nothing compared to the pain Dr. Lao got...
		No, the pain he is getting now.
		Dr. Lao went to see the committee members secretly to defeat Lepka. . . 
		and save the people before Industria sinks into the sea.
		Then he said "I will revive the solar energy for escaping."

Dyce

		What's going on with the committee?

Luke

		Lepka is dictator now.
		More over, he sent troops to High Harbor.

Lana

		High Harbor is safe.  All the islanders are preparing to welcome you all.

Luke

		Thank you.
		That is the best news.
		We will get Dr. Lao back.

Lepka

		How's it going?

Man

		Nothing yet.

Lepka

		Didn't you raise the voltage?

Monsley

		It's dangerous to raise the voltage more than this.
		It's unbelievable he's still alive.

Lepka

		What a tough man.
		How do you feel?
		Huh?  Dr. Lao.
		Your "mute" attitude will come to an end.
		After you see your grandaughter's face.
		Yes, Lana, she is here.
		Do you want to hear your grandaughter's screaming voice?
		Why don't you cooperate with us and revive solar energy?
		Don't you care if she dies?!

Lao

		Industria will sink into the sea soon.
		If you abandon the weapons. . .
		and all of the residents escape to start a new life, . . .
		I will help revive the solar energy happily.

Lepka

		Shut up!  I'm tired of your talk!

Man

		Chief.

Man

		Lana has gone down to the Residential Area.

Lepka

		Shit, that's a nest of rebels.
		Ok, I'll leave soon.
		Gather all men in that area.

Monsley

		Roger!

Lepka

		Do you think you just can say, "Lana vanished"?!

Monsley

		I'm sorry sir.
		Luke has secret paths that we don't know.

Lepka

		Shit, that rebel scum.
		Ok, destroy the walls and flood them with water.
		Destroy this and this then their area will be flooded with water.
		They'll come up followed by the water.

Monsley

		But the Residential Area will be totally destroyed.

Lepka

		I don't care.
		I just need Lana.  The rest of them are useless scum.

Monsley

		Chief, I doubt that, even if we get Lana, Dr. Lao will cooperate with us.
		I don't think he will cooperate with us even if we threaten her.

Lepka

		Tell me, do you have any ideas?

Monsley

		Do exactly as Dr. Lao says.
		Before Industria sinks into the sea, we abandon the weapons. . .
		and promise him that we'll put all our effort into saving the people.
		Then he will revive the solar energy.
		Chief, this place will sink.  High Harbor says. . .

Lepka

		Then what?  High Harbor says what?

Monsley

		They say they will welcome us.

Lepka

		So what?
		What's wrong?
		Continue Monsley.
		What's wrong?
		I said continue to speak!
		Talk!  What did you do to my soldiers?!

Monsley

		The soldiers are mowing wheat with the villagers in High Harbor.

Lepka

		What?

Monsley

		I realized after I visited High Harbor.  This place is a boring cage of iron and plastic.
		Everyone wants to live close to nature.
		Solar energy isn't what is important.
		Chief, let's abandon the weapons.

Lepka

		Shut up!  Coward!  Traitor!

Men

		Did you call us sir?

Lepka

		Shoot this traitor.

Men

		You mean kill her?

Lepka

		I do not repeat things.

Man

		Yes!  Stand up!

Lepka

		Destroy the walls immediately!

Man

		Yes sir!

Lepka

		Kill all of the traitors!

Monsley

		Where's Conan's room?

Man

		I don't have to tell you.

Monsley

		You have to allow one's last wish.
		I want to say farewell to Conan.

Conan

		I wonder if Lana could sneak into this area.

Man

		Here.
		He's not here!
		Don't move!
		Where did the kid go?
		What is it?

Monsley

		Conan!

Man

		Shit!

Monsley

		Conan.

Conan

		Monsley.

Monsley

		What a boy.
		Wait, I'll release you now.

Conan

		Wow, I'm free.
		Thank you.
		How's your wound?

Monsley

		Lana's in danger.
		The Chief will flood the underground.

Conan

		So, she isn't captured yet?

Monsley

		But Dr. Lao is a captive.
		He's in the control room of the tower.

Conan

		We must go save him.

Monsley

		I'll lead you.

Conan

		Monsley, are you okay?

Monsley

		I didn't know the Industrian's bullet could hit.

Conan

		I'll carry you.
		Monsley!

Monsley

		Conan, go!
		For everyone, hurry!

Conan

		I can't leave you here.  I'll take you.

Monsley

		I have to do one more thing.
		Look.
		Don't think the Triangle Tower is easy to deal with.
		Escape from that window.
		You can go down from there.

Conan

		I promise I'll be back.
		Don't die!

Man

		Traitor drop your gun!

Monsley

		I'll shoot anybody who comes any closer.

Man

		Shit.

Conan

		Monsley!
		Monsley, don't die!
