Episode 2: The Journey
********(Conan leaps onto one wing of the Falco and tries to damage it with his harpoon)********
Conan
Let Lana go!
Duke
Damn you. . .
Duke
Mess around with us, will you!
Monsley
What are you trying to do, crash us?!
Duke
The flaps. . . the flaps won't move!
Monsley
It's his fault!
I'll shoot him off!
********(Lana tackles Monsley to prevent her from shooting Conan)********
Let me go! What are you doing?
Guzu
You little. . .
********(Conan loses his balance and falls off the wing of Falco into the sea below)********
Guzu
That'll teach ya! Y'shouldn't have messed with us!
Lana
Please! Go back and save Conan!
Monsley
It's no use. He couldn't survive falling from this height.
Lana
Please! Go back, please! Please!
Guzu
Quiet down, you!
********(Conan swims back to the beach on Remnant Island, exhausted)********
Conan
Tikki. . .
It was no use. They took Lana.
Grandpa was badly hurt!
Conan
Grandpa. . .
Grandpa
What happened to her?
Conan
They took her with 'em.
Grandpa
I see.
Conan
Grandpa, how are your wounds? Should I bring you some shark liver?
Grandpa
Conan, listen well to what I'm about to tell you. Very soon I will die.
Conan
It's not true! That's not true! You can't be dying, Grandpa!
I've pickled some shark liver! I'll go get it!
Grandpa
Stay here, Conan.
Conan, from here on you'll have to survive on your own.
But a human being must not -- no, cannot live alone.
You must have companions. I had nine friends.
It was just twenty years ago that our ship, . . .
having failed to escape into space, . . .
crash-landed on this island.
We barely made it alive.
But the Earth had changed into a completely barren world;
there wasn't a living thing in sight.
We lost our desire to live.
We even thought that we'd have been better off if we and the ship had burned up.
We were certainly burnt-out human beings.
Suffering from thirst, with nothing we could do about it, we awaited death.
There wasn't a drop of fresh water on the island and no rain fell.
Water!
A pool had been created.
In the nose of the spaceship, stuck deep underground, . . .
cold water had welled up almost to overflowing.
When we tried to abandon the Earth, our ship would not let us.
Then, carrying us to this island and becoming a pool, it was declaring to us, . . .
"You will live! You will survive!" And then we saw it.
Life was reviving on the Earth!
Grass seeds grew into green blades from the cracks in the burned and ulcerated rocks and little. . .
creatures returned to the shore. Soon even birds had returned.
"We will live! We will live here!"
"We will build a new life on this island!"
That is what we swore to do.
And so you were born.
Conan, you were a son to all of us.
Your parents died with my other friends but you have grown up strong, . . .
like the grass that sprouted and the trees that have grown thickly on this island.
We were old seeds, scattered here on Remnant Island.
You are a new tree born of those seeds.
The five old continents are all sunk beneath the sea but new grass is growing. . .
and new people are being born on the small remaining islands!
Conan
Yeah, Lana told me!
She said that there's an island called High Harbor that's full of children!
Grandpa
The time has come for people like you and her to build a new life in a new world.
Conan
Grandpa. . . does it hurt? Hold on, Grandpa!
Grandpa
Conan, leave this island!
Conan
L-leave the island?
Grandpa
Go and search for a new world.
The time has come for you to set out.
Conan
Grandpa. . .
Grandpa
Don't lose heart, Conan. Find friends -- live for your friends!
Conan
Grandpa! Don't die! You mustn't die!
Grandpa?
Grandpa! Grandpa! Grandpa!
Grandpa-a-a!
Conan
Grandpa!
Grandpa-a-a!!
********(Conan is grief-stricken and runs outside to break rocks, beats me why)********
********(Meanwhile, onboard the Falco...)********
Guzu
There it is! Barracuda at two o'clock!
********(And onboard the Barracuda, Dyce is "enjoying" his meal)********
Dyce
What is this!? There are bones everywhere in this thing!
Gutch
I don't think it tastes that bad. . .
Dyce
Day after day, it's fish skeletons and sea biscuits!
Gutch, can't you serve hamburger once in a while?
Gutch
I'm sorry, sir, but the last of it was finished the day before yesterday.
Dyce
Wha-at!?
It's Monsley's Falco. What's she doing here now?
Tube
Captain, the Falco has just arrived.
Dyce
I can see that! Heave to immediately!
********(The Falco lands next to the Barracuda)********
Monsley
Captain Dyce! Could we pull up a little closer?
Dyce
Well, if it isn't Monsley! Pretty girls are always most welcome!
By the way, it looks like like someone took a big stick to the Falco's wing.
Monsley
We ran into a little difficulty.
Dyce
Hmmph! Pretty girl indeed! I'd have preferred it if she crashed and drowned.
Dongoroth
Captain!
This is no time for bad-mouthing! Take a look there!
Dyce
What?
Lana! What the hell?! Monsley beat me to her!
Damn.
Well done! You found Lana!
Monsley
Captain Dyce, please lend us tools to repair the wing.
Dyce
Er. . . with pleasure! However, we should be careful.
Shouldn't Lana be put on board the ship itself?
Monsley
Captain, you sound like you want the Falco to crash.
Dyce
Oh no, not at all! Just a precaution!
Monsley
Besides, what would you do if I left her to you and she escaped again?
Thank you for the offer but no thank you.
My duty is to deliver Lana to the Industrian High Committee without delay.
Dyce
Does this mean Lana's revealed where Dr. Lao is?
Monsley
Captain! As a member of the Defense Ministry, . . .
you should not say such things out loud!
Now bring the repair tools immediately!
Dyce
Yes, Ma'am.
Monsley
I'm going to get some rest. I'll be borrowing your quarters.
Dyce
Yes, Ma'am. They're shabby but I'll let you use them gladly.
Monsley
I'm well aware of how shabby they are.
Dyce
Damn! Little woman lording over us like that -- she disgusts me!
********(Lana stands on one wing of the Falco conversing with terns)********
Lana
Come here, my little terns. Please, please listen to my heart.
Thank you.
I'm looking for my grandfather, a person called Dr. Briac Lao.
He can speak to birds, like me.
All you can think of is fish, right?
Of course you wouldn't know about him.
I have a favor to ask of all of you.
If you ever go Remnant Island, I'd like you to see if Conan and his grandfather are all right.
Right. . . he's a human -- a boy -- named Conan.
Conan, please be alive.
********(Back in Remnant Island Conan buried grandpa alongside the others)********
Conan
Grandpa, I'm going to search for Lana.
I'll get Lana back and find some friends and you can bet I'll come back to this island.
********(Conan makes drawings for a raft, demonstrating his amazing foot-skill :)********
That's what I'll do!
********(Conan builds the raft)********
I did it!
It's done!
********(Conan bids final farewell to his grandpa and is on his way)********
'Bye.
Good-bye!
Good-bye!
Go-o-od-by-y-ye!!
