Episode 12: Core Block
Man
He's arrived.
Man
There's no mistaking it. It's Lao's flying machine.
Lepka
Don't lose him. Close the gate and imprison him.
Man
Yes sir.
He passed the first gate.
Lepka
Start.
Lana
Grandpa
Lao
We've been detected.
Looks like we're at a dead end.
The end of our quest for the IC chip is nearing.
Lana
This doesn't work?
Lepka
No, this can't go up anymore.
We have time before they'll come to get us.
Lana, stay here.
Lana
Huge hole.
Lao
This hole goes to the Core Block which is the deepest part of the shelter.
The IC chip is there but. . .
Lana, we must risk it, let's go down to the Core Block.
Lana
Yes.
Lao
We have to hurry. Push the left button.
Lana
Yes.
Lao
Go in.
Man
It's vanished.
We can't trace him.
Lepka
He must have gone down to the "Core Block".
Man
Now he's like a rat in a trap.
Lepka
Lao, you can't escape this time.
As soon as the soldiers come back, we'll go to the Core.
Man
Yes sir!
Dyce
The sail isn't spread yet?
Cona
Almost.
Dyce
I've run out of bullets!
Hey, it's strange.
I don't know why but they're retreating!
Farewell fools. I won, I won!
Dongoroth
Captain, we're ready to go!
Dyce
Okay, I'm coming.
Hey! Hey you, wait, idiot.
Where're you going?
The ship is that way!
Conan
I'm going back to the Triangle Tower.
Dyce
Don't joke with me!
Conan
Lana must have been found!
Dyce
It's too late!
Conan
Lana! I'm coming now!
Dyce
Go by yourself.
Hey, get up!
Stand! Straighten up!
Conan
Wh..Where?
Here!
Wh..Who's there?
There's nobody here.
Please open the door to the left!
Voices
Let me out, let me. . .
Dongoroth
Captain, hurry up!
Dyce
Farewell Industria, farewell Conan.
And Lana. . .
Jimsy
Captain, where's Conan?
Dyce
He remained for the one who he loves. Over there.
Jimsy
Conan. . . How come you left him!?
Dyce
He said he wants to remain. Guys!
Full speed and let's run away!
Crew
Aye, aye!
Jimsy
There's no other choice then.
Dongoroth
Jimsy!
Jimsy
Ciao!
Dongoroth
Idiot. Come back, Jimsy, come back!
People
Oh, are you okay? Thank God!
Thank you. We're imprisoned because we're against Lepka.
Thank you, thank you.
Conan
I was also imprisoned here before but even I didn't think so many people were imprisoned here.
If you hadn't come, we would have been here for the rest of our lives.
Everybody, let's go back to our town!
Wait, do you know all about the Triangle Tower's underground paths?
People
Of course. That is our town.
Conan
Dr. Lao is there and he's in danger.
Could you tell me how to get there?
Man
It makes sense, that's why soldiers and administration agents are going to the Triangle Tower.
Everyone, let's find Dr. Lao.
People
Okay, I'll check the East block.
I'll go to the North block.
We'll go to the Central block.
Let's go, we can't let Lepka get Dr. Lao.
Conan
Do you know Dr. Lao?
Man
Yeah.
Conan
Jimsy.
Jimsy
I'll join you.
Conan
Thank you.
Lana
Grandpa, what is this?
Lao
No wonder that you're amazed.
This is the shelter that was created during the war.
The people thought they could survive if they lived in here, even if they severely destroyed the earth.
They made a forest, a river, and even an artificial sun. Fifty thousand people once lived here.
Lana
What happened to the people?
Lao
Look there.
Lana
Graves. . .?
Lao
Yes.
They couldn't go on the earth again.
Industrians are the survivors of those people.
Now they are less than one thousand people.
Yes, this is it.
Let's finish our job before they come.
Lepka
We'll go to the Core Block next.
Remember, if we don't arrest Lao and get solar energy, we'll go to ruin.
Scientist
Lepka, what is it?
Lepka
To go to invite Dr. Lao.
Scientist
Is Dr. Lao here?
But what are those weapons for?
You opened weapons' storage without permission?
It's prohibited to use weapons other than for defense.
Lepka
Fool, do you think we can get solar energy any other way?
Scientist
Dismiss the soldiers.
We'll talk to Dr. Lao.
Lepka
Will you talk? How?
He's in the Core Block.
Are you going to go to the "Core", the dark place which is 500 meters underground?
Go!
Men
Yes sir
Scientist
No, don't go! Stop, stop!
Lepka
Lao is formidable. Be careful!
Men
Yes sir!
Scientist
Lepka, we remove you as Chief of Administration in the name of the Committee.
Lepka
I'll talk to you after I arrest Lao.
Luke
As I thought, all the gates are closed.
Come, this way.
He said Dr. Lao went to the Core.
Hurry, Lepka has already gone to the Core!
Old man
Young boy. Thank you for saving my son's life. Dr. Lao is a great man. Please protect him.
Conan
Yes, I will.
Conan
Grandpa. . .
# Intermission
Lepka
Go!
Lana
Grandpa, is this it?
Lao
Yeah, this is it.
Lana
Really? Great!
Lao
Let's go back. We've spent too much time.
Lana
Yes.
Lao
We're totally surrounded.
I'll be the decoy, so go to the Flying Machine.
I'll teach you how to fix it. Listen carefully.
Lana
I can't leave grandpa here.
Lao
Lana. We have to choose the better way even if it's a tough decision; otherwise both of us will be captives.
The Flying Machine can be operated very easily with this part.
Lana
Grandpa.
Men
There he is. Arrest him! There! Follow him!
Conan
Wait! I hear something.
Conan
Again.
It's a gunshot! Dr. Lao was found by Lepka.
We must hurry.
Jimsy
Hey, wait.
Conan
Uncle, do we just have to go down to get to the "Core"?
Yes.
We'll go first.
Man
Sorry, after you find Dr. Lao tell him west-37 is open.
Conan
West-37?
Man
He'll understand if you say it so.
Conan
Yes.
Jimsy, let's go.
Soldier
What's up? Run. Run.
Lana
Conan.
Conan
Lana -- I'm coming now.
I thought I wouldn't see you again.
Conan
Lana, where's Dr. Lao?
Lana
Oh, he's been captured.
Conan
Okay, I'll go right away.
Lana
Wait, they're too many. We have to fix the Flying Machine first.
Come, this way.
Jimsy
Oh. I'm envious.
Lepka
So Dr. Lao, we'll talk later.
Up!
I'll get your granddaughter later too.
Jimsy
Flying Machine!
Man
Shoot! Shoot it down.
Conan
Dr. Lao.
Lao
Oh, Conan. You saved my Lana.
Conan
Lana. A little faster.
Lepka
Speed up the winch!
Man
Power up!
Conan
Lana, we're ready.
Lana
Yes.
Lepka
Stop! Stop shooting.
Damn! Don't think you can escape!
The Flying Machine is escaping from the Core.
Close all the gates! Allow nothing to pass, not even an ant!
Lana
Grandpa.
Conan
Dr. Lao, West-37 is available.
Lao
Okay.
Lepka
They will go to West-37?
Idiot! There is a one meter thick steel door there.
Ready hand missile.
I'll shoot 'em down when he comes back.
Conan
No, it's closed.
Lana
Grandpa.
Conan
Oh, there's that man.
Luke
Dr. Lao.
Lao
Luke.
Luke
My friends will guide you on a path that Lepka doesn't even know.
Go where they tell you.
Man
Be careful.
This way.
Soon you'll find an exit.
Conan
Grandpa.
Conan
Thank you.
Lana
Look. It's the Triangle Tower.
Conan
We did it!
Lana
Grandpa!
Lepka
What? The Flying Machine has escaped from the Triangle Tower?
How did they pass the gate!?
Shit!!
Lana
It's like a dream.
We can go to High Harbor together.
Conan
I wonder what Lana's High Harbor is like.
I want to go there as soon as possible.
Jimsy
I hope there will be plenty of frogs.
Lana
High Harbor is a very beautiful island with a green with forest, . . .
hills with flowers, plenty of fruit, . . .
and kind people too.
Dongoroth
Captain, how much more time do you need to determine the direction?
Dyce
Shut up! I'm thinking now.
Dongoroth
Why don't we go to High Harbor?
Dyce
Idiot. We are the very men who kidnapped Lana.
Dyce
If we go to High Harbor without her, we'll be killed like this, see?
Dongoroth
Then how come you escaped by yourself? You should have gone with Conan.
Dyce
Do you want me to die!? I'm now. . .
Gutch
Captain, a strange bowl is coming.
Dyce
It's the Flying Machine!
Lana is alive.
Dongoroth, I've decided the direction!
We'll go to High Harbor!
What're you doing? Wave your hands!
He----y. Welcome back.
