Episode 22: Rescue


Monsley

		Conan, escape from that window!
		You can escape if you go by yourself.

Conan

		Monsley.
		Monsley, I promise, I'll come back.
		Monsley, don't die.

Man

		Traitor, drop your gun!

Monsley

		I'll shoot anyone who comes any closer.

Conan

		Monsley!

Man

		He's going to the east tower.
		Close the shutter!

Man

		Vanished!
		He fell down.
		We did it!
		Okay, put this back.

Man

		He can't live after falling from that height.
		Okay, let's go back.

Scientist

		What a waste of energy!
		This decrease in the voltage is abnormal!

Scientist

		He even used the laser cannons.
		Operating the tower like that is crazy.
		If they continue like that we'll run out of energy in a week!

Lepka

		Shut up!
		This is all to get solar energy.
		We must use anything we need to!

Scientist

		The atomic pile is almost gone, we can't cooperate more than this!

Lepka

		Don't be an idiot!

Lepka

		Who asked for your cooperation?  You just have to obey my orders!
		Power the shutter to the underground!

Scientist

		What?  Will you destroy the underground town?

Lepka

		The rebels took Lana and ran away into the underground.

Lepka

		Put the lid on the gate and flood it with water.  Then they'll be forced to come up!

Scientist

		Will you really destroy the town?!
		No, don't.

Lepka

		We no longer need rebels nor the town!
		We'll get rid of the useless baggage.
		You will go too.
		Flood all of the underground.

Man

		Roger!

Lepka

		Will you power the shutter or will I have to shoot you down?

Conan

		Lana's in danger!
		So that's the shutter.
		Everyone must be there.
		Where did they go?
		This goes on up.
		This goes down under.  Is it the one?
		This goes down under too, which one?

Man

		Hurry, soon it's going to be the time it explodes!

Conan

		This is it!

Man

		Conan?!

Man

		Did you finish?
		I just lit the fuse.

Man

		Stop!  It's Conan!
		Let him be!  We don't have time!

Conan

		There it is!

Man

		We succeeded.
		The water is going into the underground town.

People

		Here and here then. . .

Dyce

		What's that noise?
		Water!
		Water is coming in!

Person

		Luke, it's big trouble!
		Lepka has destroyed the walls and is flooding us with water!

Luke

		He's going to flood and destroy all of the underground town!
		How's the exit?

Person

		They closed the shutter.  No place to escape to and everyone's starting to be scared.

Dyce

		Damn, Lepka, that bastard is trying to drown us!

People

		Open.  Open, please!

Dyce

		Is there no other path?

Luke

		The others are already closed.

Jimsy

		Then, when the water comes we'll be finished.

Dyce

		Don't say such an ominious thing!
		Have hope until the very last minute!

Jimsy

		If Conan were saying that it would be very persuasive but you. . .

Dyce

		You!  You don't talk to me with enough respect.

Lepka

		Listen scum!

Dyce

		It's Lepka.

Lepka

		Industria no longer needs you.
		But I give you one last chance to survive.
		The granddaughter of Dr. Briac Lao is supposed to be there.
		Bring me Lana!
		Lana, I know you're able to hear me.
		Do not hide yourself.  Come out!
		Don't you mind all of the underground people dying because of you?
		Lana, if you'll come to me, everyone will be saved.

Dyce

		Don't go.  It's a trap.

Luke

		He's right.  He has no intention of saving us.

Lana

		But if I don't go everyone will. . .

Dyce

		Lana dear, if we'll die anyway, let us die here together!

Jimsy

		What?

Luke

		My friends are searching for a place to dig an exit.
		Let us wait until they come back.

Lepka

		Give me Lana!
		Lana, are you listening to me?
		Come out!  Will you kill all of those people?

Lana

		Mr. Luke, let me go.

Luke

		Lana.

Lana

		Conan is up there.
		So I'll be okay.

Dyce

		Conan.  I wonder if he's still alive or not.

Jimsy

		He didn't die!

Dyce

		How do you know that?

Jimsy

		YOU said so.

Dyce

		Did I?

Lana

		Here, I am Lana.
		If you guarentee everyone's life, I'll go.

Lepka

		Okay, I guarantee the lives of the residents.
		You all!  Get away from the stairs!

Man

		You, after Lana!  Lana, come!

Dyce

		Lana dear.

Lepka

		So, finally I can see you.

Lana

		No!  Don't!
		What a devil!
		You said you'd save them!

Lepka

		Yes, I will.
		If you'll convince Lao to revive the solar energy.

Conan

		Dead end.

Oldman

		Are you okay?

Conan

		Grandpa!

Oldman

		Sorry, I dropped the wall on you.
		I didn't know you were there.

Conan

		I see.

Person

		No good.  This way is also full of water.

Oldman

		We split up to search for an exit.
		This way is also a dead end.

Conan

		Grandpa, Lana must be down here.

Oldman

		I'm sorry.  We couldn't do anything.

Conan

		Were they captured?

Oldman

		She tried to save us and was tricked by Lepka.

Conan

		Jimsy!

Jimsy

		Oh, Conan, Conan!
		You're alive.
		Lana, Lana has been. . .

Conan

		Yes, I heard.

Luke

		Conan.

Conan

		Do you have the map?

Luke

		Yes.

Conan

		Let me see.

Luke

		Everyone is working on digging but the rock is very hard, so we can't do it very quickly.
		The next few hours will decide.
		This is the shutter.
		Water is already up to here now.

Conan

		So, we have to open the shutter.

Luke

		The only switch to open it is located in the Triangle Tower's control room.

Conan

		Then let's go.

Dyce

		But how?  Will you go through the water?

Conan

		Yes.
		Look at this.
		Take this way and we'll reach the crack that was made by the earthquake.
		I know we can go from there to the outside.

Luke

		But nobody can hold one's breath for so long.

Dyce

		Yes, half way there your name will change to "Death".

Conan

		We'll use the trolley.

Dyce

		Trolley?!  You mean this?
		What a. . .
		I've never seen such diving equipment.

Conan

		See you.

Luke

		Please!

Oldman

		Conan, go for it.

Conan

		Grandpa, I promise I'll open the shutter.

Oldman

		Yes, I'll be waiting.

Conan

		Let's go!

Dyce

		I see.  I can breathe.

Dyce

		What a hell.

Jimsy

		Dyce, don't breathe so much!

Dyce

		Who are you to talk!  You are not walking or even holding the trolley!

Jimsy

		That's because my legs are so short.

Lana

		Grandpa!
		Grandpa. . .
		Grandpa, it's me, Lana.

Lao

		Industria will sink into the sea soon.
		If you'll abandon all the weapons and promise to save all the people and start a new life I'll revive the solar energy gladly.

Lana

		Grandpa.

Lao

		Lana?
		Are you Lana?

Lana

		No, It can't be.

Lao

		Yes, but you don't have to be sad.
		Because I can see your mind no matter what.

Lepka

		Stop the sobbing.
		Do you feel like reviving the solar energy now?

Lana

		What did you do to my grandpa?!
		He can no longer even hear what you say!

Lepka

		Wh---what?

Lana

		That's a useless threat to him because he can't see anything now.
		Gran---ndpa. . .

Lepka

		Don't lie!  You were talking to him just now!

Lao

		Lana, please tell me what happened to High Harbor.

Lana

		Yes.

Lao

		I see.  Industrian soldiers are mowing the wheat. . .
		I can see High Harbor's golden wheat farms and green forests through your mind.
		Even birds twittering and the laughter of the villagers too.
		Your spirit is always filled with kindness.  You have been so since your childhood.

Lepka

		How can you talk since he's deaf?

Lana

		I'm not using words.

Lepka

		Telepathy?

Lana

		Even if you use torture, he won't even feel the pain.
		He is living only to save the people.
		He'd rather sink into the sea with the people than give you the solar energy.

Lao

		Lana, is Lepka doing the same evil thing to you?

Lana

		No, he can't do anything.
		And Conan and the people of underground will come here soon.

Lepka

		Don't say that!
		If you want to help those scum, convince Dr. Lao to revive the solar energy by your telepathy.

Lana

		NO!
		You have no intention to save those people anyway.
		That's why my grandpa never revived the solar energy for you.
		You're the one who will surrender.
		If you kill all the people, you will also sink into the sea.
		My grandpa is sleeping now and he will never wake up until I talk to him.
		You can't win.  Never!

Lepka

		Is that all you want to say?!
		Okay, I'll make you talk to Dr. Lao!

Conan

		Maybe left.  Let's go.

Dyce

		No good.  We're running out of oxygen.

Jimsy

		Because Dyce breathes too much!

Dyce

		Your nose is too big, that's why!

Conan

		Don't speak.  You're using extra oxygen.

Dyce

		Give me oxygen!

Man

		Blindfold?

Monsley

		I don't need it.

Man

		Ready!

Dyce

		That was really hell!
		What?!

Men

		Dyce!

Dyce

		No good!

Men

		Wait!

Dyce

		Hey, swim, go on!

Monsley

		Conan, thank you.

Conan

		Monsley, how's your wound?

Monsley

		It's okay.

Conan

		Lana has been captured. . .
		and we must open the shutter, otherwise all the underground people will die.

Monsley

		I see.  Let's go.  I'll lead you.

Conan

		Monsley, are you alright?

Monsley

		No problems.

Dyce

		H---Hey, wait!
		Here.
		What are you waiting for?  Hurry.
		You are not as light as dear Lana.

Monsley

		Idiot.

Conan

		Lana!

Jimsy

		Lepka too!

Dyce

		Oh, we have to take care of above and below?  We're busy now.

Lepka

		How is it?  Isn't that a beautiful view?
		You can't keep your straight face anymore.
		Nobody could resist yelling and crying when they're this high!
		Do it!

Man

		Yes sir!

Lepka

		Ha ha ha.
		Don't look down.  You'll fall!
		Are you scared?
		Then yell!
		If you yell only once, then I'll give the order to spread the net.
		Ask for help from the doctor.
		Wake him up!
		Are you deaf?!  Cry!  Yell!

Lana

		Conan, Conan.
		I can't stand anymore.
		Conan. . .

Conan

		Lana!  Hang on!
		Lana!  I'm coming now!

Lana

		Conan!

Conan

		Lana!  Look down!

Lana

		Down?
		Oh, the shutter is opening!
		Thank God!

Conan

		Lana!

Lepka

		What?!  Why is the shutter opening?

Man

		The control room's been attacked?!

Man

		Yes, it's a surprise attack.

Dyce

		This is Dyce.
		Yes, we now have the control room.
		The Committee members are opening the shutter now.
		And you can tell Lepka that. . .
		WE'RE COMING TO GET YOU NOW!!!

Luke

		Save Dr. Lao!
		Defeat Lepka!

Man

		The crowd's rushing into here!

Lepka

		Defend to the death!
		Let nobody in!

Man

		But they are too many!
		Gya-----

Lepka

		Hey, what's up?  Hey!
		Answer me!
