Episode 1: Remnant Island
July, 2008 A.D.
Mankind was facing the fires of annihilation.
Super electromagnetic weapons,
far more destructive than atomic weapons,
caused half the world to be wiped out in an instant.
The Earth was seized by great tectonic upheavals.
Its axis was tilted.
The five continents were ripped completely apart and
sank into the sea.
********(A rocket tries to escape into space but is damaged and falls back to Earth...)********
********(Scene changes to 20 years later, in the island where the rocket crash-landed)********
Grandpa
Our spaceship crash-landed on this island.
Twenty years have passed already.
After the war that foolish Mankind brought about, . . .
the earth was demolished miserably, but now vegetation grows thickly, . . .
and nature is returning beautifully back to life.
However, my companions from the spaceship have died off one after another. . .
and I, too, have already grown old.
I wonder if no humans besides us survive on this earth.
********(Conan comes running with a half-eaten big fish in hand)********
Conan
Grandpa! Grandpa!
Grandpa!
Look, that lousy Whitenose has shown up!
He's killed almost all the fish in the preserve!
I'll get him today.
Grandpa
Conan, don't be unreasonable!
********(Conan dives into the sea and challenges Whitenose...)********
********(With wit, strength and a bit of luck, Conan vanquished Whitenose)********
********(Conan carries Whitenose above his head (!) and is on his way to show grandpa)********
Conan
I did it! I did it!
I did it, Grandpa! Hurray!
********(A tern attracts Conan's attention and brings him to a beach where a girl lies)********
O-o-omigosh!
Emergency! Emergency!
********(Conan pokes the girl with his toe)********
It moved! It moved! It moved! It moved!
What's the matter? You sleeping there or are you hungry?
********(The girl wakes up but faints again upon seeing Whitenose which Conan is carrying)********
********(Conan is also scared and runs home to tell grandpa)********
Grandpa!
Grandpa!
Emergency!
Grandpa!
Grandpa
Oh, got Whitenose did he?
Conan
There's a person sleeping on the beach! Come quickly!
Grandpa
What did you say?
Conan
Seemed to be alive. . .
Grandpa
Alive, you say!?
Conan
It moved, but it went back to sleep again! Hu-hurry, Grandpa!
********(Grandpa hurries with Conan to bring the girl back to their hut)********
Lana
W-water. . .
Grandpa
Go get water! Quickly!
Conan
Water. . . water. . .
Grandpa
Hurry!
H-hey, drink a little more slowly, eh? Keep it up like that and you'll pass out.
Conan, get food.
Conan
Ow-w-w! F-food. . .
Lana
Where am I?
Grandpa
Don't worry. You're in my hut.
Lana
Is this High Harbor or Industria? It's not High Harbor, is it?
Grandpa
This is Remnant Island. That's what we call it anyway.
Lana
Is there someone called Dr. Briac Lao on this island?
Grandpa
There's no one else on this island besides Conan and myself.
********(Conan brings back a full load of "heavy" food)********
Conan
Here, food!
Grandpa
Ah--no, no! Something softer -- there, that soup!
Young miss, please tell me. . .
. . . are there people besides you and ourselves who survive in this world?
I see. I'm so glad it isn't just us.
Here, drink this.
Oh, before that, we'd better get you a change for that wet clothing.
I'll lend you my shirt.
Conan go outside.
Conan
Why? I want to be here.
Grandpa
It doesn't matter why. Now, out with you!
********(Conan goes outside but wants to peek through the window)********
Conan, stop peeking!
Conan.
Here, go wash these.
********(Conan takes Lana's clothes to a stream to wash)********
Conan
Funny smell!
Funny Sme---ell!!
Grandpa
Please forgive him. He's seen no other human other than me. . .
. . . much less a girl -- for as long as he can remember.
********(That night, while Lana's asleep)********
Conan
I wonder if she's alive.
Grandpa
It's all right. She's alive.
Conan
Should we try poking her?
********(Lana talks in her sleep)********
Lana
Get out! I won't tell you! Get out!
Conan
What should we do? Get out?
Grandpa
She doesn't mean us; she's talking in her sleep.
Lana
Grandfather? Grandfather, where are you?
Grandpa
Don't worry. If you mean me, I'm here.
Conan
Grandpa. . .
Grandpa
Poor thing. It seems she's been treated very cruelly.
Conan
Grandpa. . . is she alive?
Grandpa
She's fine. Go to sleep and don't worry.
Conan
Goodnight.
********(The next morning, Lana gets up early in the morning and walks toward the seaside)********
********(Conan follows Lana quietly to the seaside, where He sees her talking with terns)********
Lana
I see. Thank you.
Good morning.
Conan
Were you talking to the birds?
Lana
Uh-huh. But my heart understands them. I call this tern "Tikki".
He's my friend.
Conan
Really! So this one called me, saying "Her is here!"
Lana
"Her"?
Conan
Yeah, Grandpa, uh. . .
He said, "It's not a "him", call her "her"!
Lana
Lana. I'm called Lana.
Conan
Oh? La-na. . . Lana!
Lana
Thank you for saving me.
Conan
I--Conan. I'm called Conan! Lana. . .!
Lana
Is there no one besides you and your grandfather on this island?
Conan
Unh-uh. I think there was before, but they all died.
Lana
I see. . .
Conan
There's a graveyard. Wanna go see?
Lana
Later.
Conan.
Are there no ships? Ships that can go to distant islands?
Conan
Yeah, there are! I use 'em when I'm fishing!
This way.
********(Conan leads Lana to a beach where a small boat lies)********
Lana
You're right. It's a cute boat.
But it couldn't go to High Harbor.
Conan
High Harbor?
Lana
The island where I was born. There are many people there!
Conan
There are people besides you, Lana?
Lana
Yes, it's full of them -- children and grownups.
********(Conan tries to count with his fingers, then his toes)********
Conan
Th-this many?
Lana
Unh-uh, more!
Conan
Then. . . this many?
Lana
Unh-uh, much more! There are hundreds of them!
Conan
That many!?
Lana
High harbor is an island very, very far away from this one.
It's a place where the villages of old weren't sunk under the sea, . . .
even in the time of the Great Disaster, . . .
and stayed as they were, so there are wide open farmlands and meadows, . . .
green forests, always the lovely scent of flowers in bloom, . . .
and many fruit trees.
It's a very pretty island.
Conan
You want to go back?
There's fruit on this island, too!
Let's go! There!
********(Conan carries Lana and runs toward the fruit tree)********
Lana
I'm scared!
Conan
You're light, Lana! You looked it! The-e-ere we go-o-o!
Lana
Can you really eat the fruit?
Conan
Uh-huh. Here!
Good, ain't it?
Yum!
********(A hydroplane appears in the sky)********
A bird!
Lana
Hide!
It's not a bird, its a hydroplane -- from Industria!
Conan
Industria?
Lana
Bad people! They've come looking for me!
Conan
For you, Lana?
********(Back in the hut, grandpa also sees the hydroplane and runs to greet them)********
Grandpa
What the. . . a hydroplane!
He-e-ey! He-e-ey!
What have you come to this island for?
********(Uniformed soldiers emerge from the hydroplane carrying weapons)********
Monsley
Well, now. So you remember how to speak?
We're searching for a young girl called Lana. Has she come to this island?
Grandpa
I don't know. I haven't seen any such girl!
Monsley
We'll check out the hut!
********(Conan and Lana watches in hiding from a distance)********
Conan
They're going into the hut! With Grandpa, too!
Lana
I wonder if your grandfather's all right.
Conan
You hide here, Lana. I'll go take a look.
Lana
Be careful!
********(Grandpa leads the soldiers back to the hut)********
Monsley
Hmmph! This hut reeks of fish!
Guzu
She's not in here.
Monsley
Gather all inhabitants of the island here!
Guzu
Do as you're ordered, old man!
Grandpa
You still do these sorts of things? Holding and waving around guns and such?
Did you learn nothing from the great Disaster!?
Guzu
Stubborn old fool!
Grandpa
That way of thinking destroyed the world! Don't you see that!?
Monsley
You should talk! You were the adults then; you started the war!
We were still children!
We children went through many painful experiences in order to survive!
Do you understand?
You have no right to talk big; you're one of the irresponsible adults. . .
who triggered off the war and have been reduced to savages!
Now, go do as you are told!
What's the matter?
********(Grandpa goes into a room and emerges with a rocket launcher in hand)********
Grandpa
Get out!!
If you don't want to die, get off this island!
Monsley
Stop! If you fire that thing, you'll die as well!
Grandpa
Leave! Leave this island!
Don't ever show your faces around here again!
Guzu
Dammit!
Monsley
Talking to him is out of the question. Let's go, Guzu.
You can suit yourself and rot on this island!
********(While Monsley is about to leave, Guzu turns around and fires at grandpa)********
********(The rocket is hit and exploded in grandpa's hand)********
Conan
Grandpa!!
Grandpa
Get away!!
Conan
Grandpa! Hang in there!
Grandpa
I'm all right. Conan, protect the girl.
********(Conan runs after Lana and leaps onto the wing of the hydroplane)********
Conan
Let Lana go!
