Episode 11: Escaping


Terit

		He--y, he--y!

Terit

		He--y, he--y!

Terit

		Miss Monsly, over here.  Hurry!

Terit

		Patch has run away.

Monsly

		Patch?  Where's Dr. Lao?

Terit

		Please don't be surprised.  Patch is Lao.

Monsly

		Really?  Is he?

Terit

		He disguised himself.  I found out!

Monsly

		And where is he?

Terit

		He had to escape because I found out his secret.

Terit

		He had a boat.  He hid it under his room.

Monsly

		He can't get too far in that storm.

Duke

		At most 15-16 kilometers (about 10 miles).

Terit

		You'll follow him?

Terit

		I'll go too.

Monsly

		I can't take any dead weight.

Terit

		No way.
		W--wait, how about my reward.

Monsly

		You can't be a second class citizen for a while.

Terit

		No way, Miss Monsly.

Conan

		Oh!  There it is!

Lana

		Oh yeah.
		Grandpa, hurry!
		The old ship is still okay.

Lao

		Oh, really.  I worried about that because of the earthquake.

Lana

		We'll go first.

Lao

		What energetic children.  They are enjoying even this kind of situation.

Conan

		Is this a flying machine?

Lana

		Yes.

Lao

		I'm relieved that this is okay.  Seems like the Industrians did not search around here.

Conan

		Can we go to High Harbor in this?

Lao

		If I can repair it.

Conan

		What?

Lao

		An IC chip for engine control is damaged.
		This can't fly very high now.

Lana

		Then what do we do?

Lao

		I can find the parts in the Triangle Tower.
		It's risky but we'll have to go to Industria first in order to obtain the parts.

Conan

		That's great!  Lana, we can go to Industria!

Lana

		Yeah!

Lao

		It's strange that you are so happy to go back to Industria when you just barely escaped.

Lana

		Jimsy is imprisoned there.

Conan

		Jimsy is my companion.

Lana

		We want to save him.  If grandpa was going to High Harbor directly we'd have remained behind .

Conan

		I said Lana must go with Dr. Lao but she doesn't agree with me.

Lao

		I understand.  Everyone goes to High Harbor together.

Lana

		Yes!

Conan

		Thank you.

Conan

		It doesn't fly.

Lana

		No.

Lao

		Can you lift this up?

Conan

		Ye--ss.

Lan

		We're ready.

Lao

		Lift it when I say.

Lao

		Now!

Conan

		It flies.
		Wow, it's flying!

Lao

		Somehow this will get us to Industria.

Lao

		Anyway, let's go to Industria.  Come, get in.

Conan

		Here.

Lao

		Sorry, I can't stop this until the engine becomes stable.
		Okay, it's stable now.
		Why don't you go up topside?

Conan

		Wow, feels so good.

Monsly

		It's strange.  There's nothing on the sea.
		He said they escaped by a boat. . .
		Yes, maybe. . .  Duke, change coarse.  Go back and we'll look around the desert by the salvage ship.

Duke

		Roger!

Dyce

		Water. . .  water. . .  Shit!  Gimmy water.  Kill me quickly!  Lepka. . . asshole!  W--water.
		W--water.
		No, it isn't.  Don't bring on the mirages. . .

Conan

		Captain, what are you doing here?

Dyce

		 What am I doing?
		It's the death penalty because I tried to help Lana.  So Lepka did this to me.

Conan

		Jimsy, how's Jimsy?

Dyce

		Everyone is still in jail.  Anyway please untie the rope.

Dyce

		Oh, thanks.  I owe you my life.  Please hurry, I'll die soon. . .

Dyce

		Lana.  Who. . .  who are you?

Lao

		Lana's grandfather.

Conan

		He's Dr. Lao.

Dyce

		So you're the authority on solar energy?
		You don't resemble your grandchild.
		I want to cooperate with you, because for both of us Industria is an enemy.
		Please don't look at me like that.  Help me.

Lao

		Certainly, you have betrayed Industria but it doesn't mean you are on our side.

Dyce

		I know what I did to Miss Lana was wrong.

Dyce

		I'm sorry.

Lao

		I don't believe you.

Dyce

		Please wait!
		Will you leave me?  Wait please!
		How awful!  It's so cruel to be left here.
		I don't want to die.
		Lana, Conan, thank you.

Lana

		Here is water.  Good-bye.

Dyce

		Wait!

Dyce

		Take me!

Lao

		We're going to Industria.

Dyce

		That makes two of us.
		I wanna release my men.  Otherwise they'll be imprisoned for the rest of their lives.

Lao

		It's your choice to come with us but there is no room for you.

Dyce

		No problem.  I'll follow you by running and I'll get my Barracuda and go my own way after that.

Lao

		Okay, but never forget the kindness of these children who saved your life.

Dyce

		I know.  Lana, thank you.

Conan

		A seaplane is coming.

Dyce

		No good.  It's Monsly.

Lao

		It's trouble.  Be careful.

Conan

		Yes.

Dyce

		Farewell, see you again!

Monsly

		We got him!  Guzu, we must get him alive!

Guzu

		I know.  I'll destroy only the engine.

Monsly

		What a tough airframe.  It must have been hit but it's still operating.

Duke

		I'll slow down to near stall speed  and concentrate our firepower.

Guzu

		C'mon.

Lao

		Be ready to escape.  The engine won't stand much more.

Conan

		Dr. Lao, open the top!

Conan

		I'll destroy it.

Monsly

		Look, it's smoking!  
		Guzu, finish them!

Guzu

		Yes.

Guzu

		Shit.

Monsly

		You!
		Bastard!

Conan

		Oh, this is scary.

Monsly

		I'll kill you!

Conan

		Bye-bye.

Monsly

		I can't believe that.

Duke

		No, we're going down!

Monsly

		Get off me!
# Intermission

Scientist

		The damage underground is more than we thought.  The problem is which part we should rebuild.
		How's the recycling factory?
		West area was relatively undamaged.
		That's good.

Lepka

		How long are you going to have such a stupid conversation!

Scientist

		Lepka, what do you mean "stupid"?

Lepka

		Finally, we discovered where Dr. Lao is.

Lepka

		Monsly left to capture him but she has not reported anything yet.  We must send more soldiers to aid her!

Scientist

		But we can't spare anyone because of the reconstruction.

Lepka

		After we get solar energy, it'll be very easy to do.  Give me permission!

Scientist

		No, reconstruction here must be done first.

Lepka

		Administration will act independently from now on.

Scientist

		Wait Lepka.
		He's getting to be a rascal.

Lepka

		Has Monsly reported?

Man

		No, not yet sir!

Lepka

		Arm Administration men and get them ready to go at anytime.
		What is she doing?

Dyce

		I got it.
		Sorry Miss Monsly.
		I'm ready.  Let's go.

Conan

		Captain!  Look at that!

Dyce

		It's just a crack.  It's not strange at all.

Lao

		This one was made lately.  It's still active.

Dyce

		What?

Lana

		You were right.
		I'd like to ask you.  There was supposed to be an earthquake in Industria last night.  How was it?

Monsly

		I don't know.  We just flew through a storm.

Lao

		Around the salvage ship, the desert sank below water.

Monsly

		So what, earthquakes aren't so rare.

Lao

		This time it is.  Look at that.
		This crack divides the desert and points toward Industria.  It is evidence that enormous energy is moving underground.

Monsly

		Oh really.  But Industria won't perish from only an earthquake.

Dyce

		Earthquake!

Dyce

		S---stop, please.

Lao

		The earth's crust is starting to be destroyed.  You'd better go.  Let's leave.

Monsly

		Wait, tell me your opinion.  Will a disaster really come?

Lao

		This is merely my hypothesis.  I think Industria will sink under the water soon.

Monsly

		Ridiculous.  I don't believe it.

Lao

		It's up to you.

Dyce

		How fun.  All of you should die!
		Dr. Lao, let's hurry up.  We don't want to sink.

Monsly

		Dyce, will you go to Industria?

Dyce

		Yes, I will.  I'll get my Barracuda and they have some business in the Triangle Tower.

Monsly

		The Triangle Tower?

Dyce

		I can't say anymore.
		You'll go slowly on foot.
		Good-bye Monsly.
		Wow, wai--t.

Monsly

		If they go to Triangle Tower.  I still have a chance to get them.

Guzu

		Untie our ropes too.

Monsly

		Do it yourself!

Lana

		Conan, if disaster comes, will the people of the salvage ship also die?

Lao

		Look.

Conan

		It's Industria.

Dongoros

		Has Captain become a dried man by now?
		He was stupid!

Jimsy

		When will we be dried?

Gucci

		Don't know!  Soon they'll come to take us.

Dyce

		That's the jail.
		That's my Barracuda.  There must be nobody aboard.

Conan

		We'll go to release Jimsy and the others.
		Then we will escape by Barracuda.

Lao

		We'll go to the underground of the Triangle Tower from the backside.

Dyce

		The whole town is panicked by the earthquake.
		It's the best time for thefts.

Lao

		Good luck!
		Lana, let's go.

Lana

		Yes.

Lana

		Conan, be careful.

Conan

		Soon we'll see each other on the sea?

Lana

		Do you promise?

Conan

		Yes.

Dyce

		Let us go too.

Conan

		Wait.

Dyce

		Wh-what?

Conan

		We'll go this way.

Dyce

		Stupid.  There're too many people.

Conan

		Get the Robonoid and make a disturbance.

Conan

		That way Dr Lao will easily get in the Triangle Tower.

Dyce

		You mean a feint operation?

Conan

		Let's go!

Dyce

		H-hey, wait!  Stop it!
		Jeez, we've been found.
		Okay, let's do it.
		We got it.

Conan

		Go to the jail.

Dyce

		Swallow this!

Man

		He's the condemmed criminal Dyce!

Dyce

		It's fun!  Lepka come out!

Lepka

		What?  Dyce?

Man

		He going to the port with the Robonoid.

Lepka

		Send all soldiers to the port.
		Don't let him fool us.

Man

		Hurry up!

Jimsy

		What's the noise?

Conan

		Jimsy, stay back.

Dyce

		Men, I've come to save you!

Dongoros

		Captain, are you okay?

Gucci

		Aren't you a ghost?

Dyce

		Of--f course not!
		I'll take care of them.  You guys go to the Barracuda and get ready to escape.

Crew

		Aye aye sir!

Conan

		I'll move toward the ship gradually.

Dyce

		Aye sir.

Lepka

		You idiots, how long will you take to finish Dyce?
		Get him right away!

Man

		Chief!

Man

		A report form Miss Monsly.

Lepka

		Okay, I'm coming.
		Is this Monsly?  It's me.
		Really?  Are you sure?

Monsly

		Yes, Lao will go to the Triangle Tower and look for parts for a flying machine.

Lepka

		I see, good.
		He is in a hurry to escape since he's been identified.
		Recall all soldiers immediately to the Triangle Tower.

Man

		But what about Dyce?

Lepka

		I don't care about such rubbish!

Man

		Yes sir!

Lepka

		Lao, I won't let you escape this time.

Dyce

		The sail isn't spread yet?

Conan

		No, not yet.

Dyce

		Damn, I've run out of bullets.
		Hey, it's strange. . .
		I don't know why, but they're running away.

Man

		That's it.

Lepka

		I see.

Man

		It passed the first gate.

Lepka

		Okay, close it quietly.
