Episode 24: Giganto


Scientist

		That earthquake was quite large.
		People, please check each part of the tower.
		Luke, is there any damage to the plant?

Luke

		We have just started to work again.
		Production of foods and so on is going well.
		As soon as the ship is repaired, we'll be able to go.
		Everyone is working very hard.

Scientist

		I see. The time between earthquakes is becoming shorter, so we have to hurry to escape.
		Yes, please.
		There is no damage to the plant.
		Umoku, could you come here?
		I have found something strange.
		What is it?
		Looks like some of the energy is leaking.
		Look at that.
		Yes, a trickle of energy is leaking to the underground.
		Don't you think it's strange?
		All the underground should be flooded.
		Maybe some part of it is still okay.
		But we are not able to check it out now.
		Anyway, stop the leak.
		Okay.

Men

		What's going on?
		Shit!  They turned off the energy switch!
		Silence!  The emergency lights will come on!
		Continue!
		Are you the last?

Man

		Yes sir!
		Okay, line up!
		Everyone is here now, except for a few of them.

Lepka

		Everyone, the day the Giganto will fly into the sky has come.
		The scum who went up to the surface revived the solar energy for us.
		They do not know that I'm alive and this underground hanger is operable.
		Now, everyone arm yourself, go occupy the control room, and put energy into Giganto.

Man

		Chief, they say they forgive us.
		I think it is meaningless to fly Giganto given the situation that Industria will sink.

Lepka

		Listen, once Giganto flies into the sky and gets into outer space it will get energy from the sun and fly almost forever.
		Not only High Harbor, but all throughout the world, men will fall on their knees under its wings.
		I don't need chickens.  The ones who will live with me, should follow me.
		Go!

Men

		Yes sir!

Lepka

		Until then, finish charging Giganto.  Be careful that the scum do not find us out.
		Kill anybody who opposes us!
		Wait a little while, my Giganto.
		Soon I'll put your life into you.
		What?  Who are you?
		Who allowed you in?
		Lepka, are you alive?

Lepka

		Congratulations for reviving the solar energy.
		Giganto will revive too now.
		Get them away!

Scientist

		Wait, don't.
		What're you doing?
		Break it!

Lana

		Grandpa, wake up.  Grandpa.

Monsley

		Lana.  We've got trouble.
		I saw Lepka roaming the halls.

Lana

		They're attacking the control room now.

Monsley

		Then they will fly Giganto.
		All were wearing the Giganto crew suits.

Lana

		Miss Monsley, please take care of my grandpa.
		I'll go inform everyone.

Monsley

		You can't make it by yourself.
		The passages to the plants are blocked by them.
		Let's both go.

Lana

		But I can't move my grandpa.

Monsley

		Is he so bad?

Lana

		He is alive now only with his spiritual strength.  He can't even stand up.

Lao

		Lana.

Lana

		Grandpa.

Lao

		You don't have to worry about me.  Go.

Lana

		But. . .

Lao

		That is the last Poison Moth remaining of those that destroyed the world.
		It was hidden underground and was waiting for the revivial of the solar energy.
		Don't let it get into the sky.

Lana

		Grandpa.

Lao

		Even one Giganto has the power to destroy the world.
		Please tell Conan's group in the salvage ship.

Lana

		Yes.

Man

		Yes, pumping is going okay.  It will finish in thirty minutes.

Lepka

		Good.  As soon as we finish pumping I will go back.
		The scum haven't found us out yet?

Men

		No, because we blocked all the passages.

Lepka

		Kill anyone who comes to or leaves from this tower.

Monsley

		We can't go this way.  We have to use the shooter.
		We have to use the shooter.
		This way.
		Here.

Men

		Ha ha ha.  Die!

Monsley

		That one.  Hurry!
		Come on!

Lana

		Yes!

Man

		Damn!

Lana

		Everyone, Lepka is. . .

People

		What is it?

Lana

		Lepka is occupying the control room.
		He will fly Giganto from the underground hanger!

Person

		Is he still alive?

Lana

		Please tell Mr. Luke immediately!
		We'll go to the salvage ship.

Person

		I understand.  Gather our men!
		Okay.

Note

		(Salvage Ship)

Conan

		Soon it will depart from the bottom!

People

		Oh really?!
		Finally!

Conan

		Captain, please, the crane!

Dyce

		Okay, trust me!

Person

		We don't need air, stop the air pump!

Jimsy

		Dyce, are you sure you can do that?

Dyce

		Shhhh.
		This is now the most important part of salvaging from a ship.
		I feel it; it's coming.

People

		Did it!

Dyce

		I did it.

People

		We did it!

Luke

		I wish we could show this to Mr. Terit.

Conan

		Terit?

Luke

		What a poor fate.  He was crushed by a crane and...

Conan

		Did he die?

Luke

		Yes.
		Bravo!  Hooray!

Lana

		Conan!

Conan

		Lana, what's going on?

Lana

		Lepka has taken the control room.

Dyce

		What?

Conan

		How about Dr. Lao?

Lana

		He is still in the tower!

Monsley

		Hurry up, Lepka is putting energy into Giganto.

Conan

		Giganto. . .  Let's go!

Dyce

		Wait.  I'll go too!

Jimsy

		I'll go first!

Dyce

		Take care of the ship while I'm not here!
		What?  Oh, how cute your pajama-pilot suit is.

Monsley

		Idiot.

Lepka

		Pumping has just finished.
		Now fare you well.

Scientist

		Stop, don't!
		Will you destroy the world?!

Lepka

		Destroy?  No I won't.  I'll just get them.  Good-bye.
		Let's go!

Dyce

		Won't this go any faster?!

Monsley

		It will, if you jump off now.

Lepka

		Take off!
		Open the gate of the hanger!

Monsley

		There.  Industria.

Dyce

		We're in time.

Conan

		Monsley, let's land.
		It hasn't flown yet.

Monsley

		Okay.

Lana

		Conan, look over there.

Monsley

		It's Giganto!

Dyce

		Enormously huge!
		It's more than ten times the size of the Barracuda.

Lana

		They are heading toward High Harbor.

Conan

		What's that?

Lana

		Grandpa!!

Dyce

		Lepka, that asshole!

Monsley

		Let me attack it!
		Everyone hold on!
		I'll do it again.

Dyce

		No, it's like water off a duck's back.

Conan

		Monsley, I'll take on Giganto.
		Monsley, can you land on it?

Dyce

		Wh---what?

Monsley

		I'll try.  It's going to be a little bit rough though!

Conan

		Lana, let's change positions.

Lana

		Conan.

Conan

		No problem.  Okay!

Monsley

		Let's go.

Dyce

		What's that?!

Lepka

		What happened to the Falco?

Man

		It stalled and stuck on the left no. 24 gun-battery.
		Let's burn it off by laser beam.

Lepka

		Get rid of it by hand.
		It might ignite the fuel and could damage us.

Man

		Roger!

Lepka

		What idiots.  They exchanged their lives for only one out of a hundred gun batteries.
		The Giganto is an impregnable flying fortress!

Monsley

		Everyone okay?

Dyce

		No, I'm not!  It hurts!  Please!  Get off!

Conan

		We're okay.  We made it!

Jimsy

		Ouch.
		Hey Conan.

Conan

		Seems like we can get inside.

Lana

		Really?

Conan

		Monsley, can you get back to Industria somehow by Falco?

Monsley

		The engine is dead but I'll glide and go back somehow.

Conan

		Okay, then I'll push this.  Please make it.

Monsley

		Wait!  Will only you remain here?

Conan

		I'll push!
		Lana.

Lana

		Please, let me stay with you.

Conan

		Yes.

Jimsy

		I knew it was gonna be like this.

Dyce

		The sailor man will die in the sky.  How ironic.
		Okay, let's do it!

Monsley

		Dyce, wait!

Dyce

		Hey, what'ya doing?  Sit down, hurry!

Monsley

		Are you saying you want me to escape alone, like a coward?

Dyce

		No, you don't understand.
		Will you allow the Industrians to lose their way?
		There should be at least one who knows the way to get to High Harbor.
		I salvaged that valuable ship.  Make sure to deliver it to High Harbor.

Monsley

		Dyce. . .

Dyce

		Hey, seat yourself!!

Monsley

		Okay. . .

Dyce

		Monsley, the pajamas look cute on you.

Monsley

		Idiot!
		Now!

CDJ&L

		Here we go.

Conan

		Monsley, move the rudder.

Man

		What?  Falco's rudders are moving.
		Hey!  What're you doing?
		They're still alive!  Get them, hurry!

Dyce

		It moved!

Lana

		It'll fly.
		No!
		Conan, I'll stay here too.

Conan

		Please be with Dr. Lao.
		I promise I'll come back.

Lana

		Conan, you promise?

Conan

		Yes, I promise.
		Let's go!

Men

		It's Conan.
		Dyce too!
		Squash them!
		Chief, Conan has gone into the seventeenth gun-battery.

Lepka

		They're like rats in a trap.
		Use the cyanide gas.

Man

		Roger!
		We'll use gas.  Get back!

Dyce

		They have gone back.
		What?  It's a cannon.

Conan

		Let's go up on the wing from here.

Dyce

		No, that's poison gas!

Jimsy

		What is poison gas?

Dyce

		No!  It doesn't open!

Conan

		This way!

Dyce

		No!  No!  It's coming.

Jimsy

		It's coming up.

Dyce

		No!  There is no way to close the hatch.

Conan

		Captain, can't you raise this up to the wing?

Dyce

		This one?
		Since there is a chair, this should be designed to be operated manually.
		Shit!

Jimsy

		Dyce, hurry!

Dyce

		Shut up!
		Jesus, if Monsley were here!
		Bastard!

Conan

		It's open!

Man

		Chief, the seventeenth gun-battery has come out; that's where Conan is.

Lepka

		What?  How about the gas?

Man

		Gas is . . . leaking.
		I don't believe that, they've thrown off the emergency hatch!

Dyce

		Then what are we gonna do now?

Conan

		Let's run!

Dyce

		Run?  On the wing?

Conan

		Lepka should be there.

Dyce

		B..b..b..but, you might be blown off!

Conan

		If I succeed, come after me!

Dyce

		Okay, I won't try to stop you anymore.  Go!

DJ

		Go for it!
