Target planet visible on maximum telefinder range...
...in 5, 4, 3...
...2, 1...
...here it comes!
It sure looks promising this time, eh?
That planet is going to be our new home!
According to our observational data, it's reasonably similar to home...
Okay, so let's land this puppy already!
We've been through cold sleep 5 times.
If we get frozen once more, we'll shrivel up!
Knock it off, Steve.
We can't settle there. And besides, it's not our decision.
It's definitely habitable...
...but it has no existing oceans, and its stratum is mainly quartz.
It's not worth waking up the old men.
Hey, Joey! What kind of flowers are on that planet?
Huh? Uh...
Weren't you listening, Rem? That planet isn't...
Oh, why not?
We have time. Let's wait until the minute analysis results are in.
As Rem says, it just might have flowers.
If it does, I hope they're red!
You're still here. Where's Knives?
Hey, Rem?
Why don't they ever wake up?
This ship is too quiet. It's just you and us...
...and even the others only make seven.
Vash...
...I'll tell you what's written on the outside of this ship.
" Project Seeds."
Project Seeds?
As the name suggests, these ships really are seeds...
...the human race built to carry our genes to an unknown world.
You could say that we're the caretakers of all those seeds.
If there is a God in deep space...
...He might laugh at our pitiful struggle for immortality.
It may look shameful...
...but this is the desperate will to survive.
A struggle on a new land waits for them.
It's our job to let them sleep in peace until then.
Can we help?
So there you are! Shall we have lunch in the usual place?
You must like that song.
It pops into my head whenever I'm happy. Is that strange?
- No, it's a nice song. - Thanks!
It's strange... It's the same drink...
...but it always tastes different here.
That's because this place is alive.
Can't you both feel it?
Can't you feel the living heartbeat of the plants?
There she goes again!
So this looks like your world?
No, home was much more vast...
...with more variety and life.
I'd like to see it!
We're not going to see it, we're going to create it!
And on our new home...
...there will be nothing but peaceful days...
...with no wars. - Nor stealing.
An Eden where people can live as people, right?
The state of our home, Earth...
...has become too dire to support mankind.
Project Seeds was drafted as a way to resolve this crisis.
That's the ship we're on!
Judging from the computer data, mankind itself damaged the planet.
I'm afraid so.
Our young race believed that the land and resources were unlimited.
By the time we realized the folly of our ways, it was too late.
If that's true, why did you set this project in motion?
- To survive. - Exactly.
Clinging to life until the verge of death...
...is probably intrinsic behavior of all organisms.
Is it all right to live even if other things must die?
We make the smallest sacrifice possible at the given time.
Unlike Earth's other organisms, we have the ability to reason...
...the knowledge to minimize sacrifices.
We also have the ability to right our wrongs.
We are now attempting to start over.
As we journey, we search and think of ways to make everyone happy.
This is no good.
What is?
I'm not cut out to be an educator.
I'm only feeding them information from the computer.
And besides, I've never been a father.
Me neither!
No, you're teaching them all sorts of things.
Emotions, how to be kind... ...and the value of the future.
I'm not that great, Joey. I just play with them, that's all.
I guess that's a difference in character.
Say, why do you suppose they came here?
Because they're angels!
Those two are angels God sent us to point us in the right direction!
Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Where's Rem?
She's babysitting the kids.
Look at her, like there isn't a care in the world.
We still have three plants to adjust.
Vash and Knives took care of those while you were napping.
You're kidding, right?
That's a two-day job for me!
It's nothing to be surprised about. Their I. Q is way, way above ours!
They might be more suited for brain work than you.
Cut the crap!!
Do you really want monsters playing with the ship?!
Just look at how big they grew in one year.
Those kids are monsters, I tell you!
Vash!
Vash...
You're crying again.
Steve... He says we're...
...we're not human!
To these people, we're just uninvited guests.
We need to be patient until they accept us.
But Rem said we could stay here...
Remember what Joey said?
We must make the smallest sacrifice possible at the given time.
Do you know why plants can't talk?
Rem said it's because they're strong.
She said they're so strong, they think only of living...
...so they don't need words.
We eat their fruit.
Yeah, to live.
Do you think I'll be eaten too someday?
You won't. Rem said so, remember?
She said they're making a different kind of Eden.
Hey, Knives! What are you doing there?!
This place is off-limits to your kind!
Got that?!
Why am I here?
Don't!
Why did we come here?
Knives? It won't be much longer.
Take your time!
I never realized it.
Your hair is almost curly.
Do you think so?
I just got a good idea!
It's standing up!
It really suits you.
And...
...it looks a lot like his.
Like whose?
Someone I loved.
Where is he now?
He's in the land of angels... Heaven.
He was my emotional support.
Thanks to him, I was able to confront each of my mistakes...
...and even make them right again. But then I lost him, and I realized...
...I would have to point myself in the right direction from then on.
That's why I got on this ship. So I could look into the future.
Rem, are you sad?
Just a little.
You have me...
I won't leave you alone!
I promise, because I love you!
You're such a baby.
But thanks.
Shall we switch now?
Kni...
It's all wrong!!
I knew you'd be here!
What happened?
Just a small change of heart. If we stay the same...
...we'll have no individuality.
That's a wonderful haircut, Knives!
Thank you. It's strange to say it myself, but I feel refreshed.
You look very intellectual!
Yeah, like a little philosopher.
- What do I look like? - A Momma's Boy.
That's mean!
I'm amazed you can share your table with those monsters!
Steve, I think you've had one too many.
No, I haven't.
Hey, don't you still have work to do?
Shut up. I'll do it later.
You're a disgrace.
Is this how a grown man behaves in front of children?
He sure is acting crazy recently.
He's afraid.
Who does he think he is, draping himself all over Mary?!
Those two are such a drag!
But then again, just one would be boring.
Oh!
This is easier.
You wanted to save the butterfly, didn't you?
No, I wanted to save them both!!
What are you talking about?
Spiders need to catch butterflies, or they die of starvation.
Don't you even know that?
You mustn't make that choice so easily.
Both have life, so you should...
But I'm not wrong!
If you keep saving butterflies, the spiders will die!
But...
Wanting to save both is a contradiction.
What would you rather do? Keep deliberating?
The butterfly will be eaten in the meantime.
What's wrong with that?!
I want...
I want to save both of them!!
You make no sense, Vash.
You're the one who makes no sense, Knives!
By interplanetary law, Steve is relieved of duty.
He will be detained in the freezer.
Upon the completion of our mission, he will be released to stand trial.
That is all!
I only got drunk, that's all! Please believe me!
This is too one-sided! Don't you agree, everyone?!
I saw him go into Mary's room.
I didn't do anything!!
We could have discussed it!
No matter how few we are, if we are to function as a group, we need law!
I want that understood.
But it wouldn't hurt to hear his side of the story!
Rem... He raped me.
Please! Believe me!!
Rem, why can't everyone get along?
Because people have many different ways of thinking.
Even if you make mistakes, it's always possible to fix them.
Then if you turn around, you will see the future.
That must be realized for oneself.
What? Marry?
Here.
Is this a joke?
Come to the bridge afterwards. The analysis should be in.
Steve won't ever wake up again.
I tinkered with the freezer.
I didn't want to kill him...
We're accomplices.
- Joey! - What is it, Rem?!
It's Deck A-12! The monitors are cut off!
Rowan...
It's her fault... She betrayed me.
I only helped her because she said she didn't like Steve.
Rowan...
She said she loved me! It's unbelievable!
Isn't it unbelievable?
Oh, I see now...
...it was him. It's his fault Mary is dead.
What are you talking about, Rowan?! Put down the gun!
Rem! What happened?!
Rem! Rem!!
I have the right to shoot that monster.
Get out of the way, Rem!!
No one has the right to take the life of another.
Please put down the gun.
S-Stay back!!
Rowan! What are you doing?!
Something is broken inside me... I can't stop.
It's all right.
Rem, don't be rash!
Rem!!
You can still start over.
Here...
Please stay back.
Don't do it, Rem...
STAYBACK!!!
Rowan!!
Why did you do that, Joey?
If I hadn't, he would have shot you. I had no choice.
He wasn't going to shoot me.
Please understand! I couldn't see that from the monitors.
I used the best option open to me. If I hadn't...
Rowan... Mary...
Joey, I also think you did the right thing.
Rowan took leave of his senses.
I think so too, but perhaps Rem is right.
Perhaps he wouldn't have shot her.
If so, I was wrong.
You're just a human like the rest of them.
I'm making the right choice!
Altering ships' course program.
What is it?!
Our course has been replotted!
What?!
Someone is sending orders to all of the ships.
And the systems have entered auto-lock mode...
...my god! The ships will crash on the planet!
Rowan must have altered the orbital program! We have to escape!
Where's Joey?!
He ordered us to the escape pods! He said he'd try to save the ships!
But what about the sleeping people?
There's no time for that!
Rem...
Hurry!
Let's get to the pods.
Warning, warning.
The ship is about to enter the atmosphere.
Please proceed to the escape pods.
Rem, hurry!
A struggle on a new land waits for them.
We're going to create it!
Then if you turn around, you will see the future.
That must be realized for oneself.
What's wrong, Rem?!
Alex...
... give me strength!
You two, go without me!
But why? Why?!
I can't leave Joey here by himself, and I want to try to save everyone!
The program is already running!
No, no! Don't go, Rem!!
I'm sorry. If he were alive...
...I think he would do the same.
Vash, take care of Knives!
Rem!
Rem!! Rem!!
Humans sure are incomprehensible.
They throw down their lives for foolish sentimentalism.
I was going to let her live because you were so attached to her...
...but now I see she was imperfect. You're better off without her.
Knives!
Like hell I'd let them immigrate.
That would be like spreading germs across our healthy universe.
Don't tell me you...
That's right.
But don't worry. The plant ship will survive.
We need to create our new home, after all.
Only the ships carrying the humans will crash.
Bring her back! Bring Rem back!!
All ships commencing orbital correction.
What?
Reverse thrusters?!
She got me.
Rem...
Vash, take care of Knives!
I know, Rem...
I will.
I will take care of him.
