Commander Murato, please come to the communications room.
We've received an urgent message from Federation Headquarters.
Moad Garrison Commander Murato...
I am Ohara, and I have recently been appointed
Special Assistant to the Department of Interplanetary Development.
Yes, Ma'am.
From now on, everything you do is under my administration.
Yes, Ma'am.
Special Assignment Six:
find the following android and capture it.
Registration number ESP4678-201, individual name: Dew.
Our follow-up investigation has confirmed his presence on Moad.
Now transmitting the target's current location
as well as data about the android and his history.
It will be automatically saved into your files.
Additionally, regarding capture, we support and approve the use of any means necessary.
However, all of the android's parts, no matter what their condition,
absolutely must be preserved and handed over to us.
I will arrive there in seventy-two hours.
I am hoping you will be completely finished with preparations to hand him over by then.
Harry...
My Harry Thompson...
You and I first met at a small pub in the fourteenth mining area.
You know, the name of the pub was White Stone.
I don't know it. I've never even been there.
But you were wearing a cute necktie, and one of your arms was injured.
I don't...
No, it's okay.
It's common to lose your memory when you're turned into an android.
That's why I'm telling you like I am now.
Because I'm sure eventually you'll remember.
You'll remember that you loved me.
You always sat in the corner of White Stone.
I fell in love with you at first sight,
and I looked only at you as I sang.
With all my heart...
Episode 15
With all my heart...
Songstress
A song of love...
Where will I drift to?
Who knows this?
Even in darkness, if you don't give up
Light will definitely come
Solitude and love are fighting against each other
I will go with the wind, no matter how far
As long as I have a dream
I shall continue to live, no matter what happens
As long as you are here
The tunnel this train is speeding through right now
was built by connecting the countless shafts that were dug to mine Moad Oil
over the course of a hundred years.
We laid rails in those shafts,
and then pulled in the pre-existing train line.
And we made it so that we can move freely throughout Moad's underground.
Most importantly,
this tunnel is the perfect maze in which to hide from enemy sight
and has protected the safety of our headquarters to this day.
We will arrive at headquarters shortly.
Captain Ahab...
Yeah?
Let me thank you once again.
You are all hailed as the universe's number-one whale hunters.
I can't tell you how much courage and hope you've brought us by taking part.
Why thank you!
You flatter us.
BAR-BA-HEM!
Hope and courage, you say,
but we all know well that we're not worthy of such extreme praise.
No, there may even be a chance that we'll drag you folks down.
After all, we're whale hunters to the core.
We became whale hunters so we could do as we pleased.
I'll tell it to you plain:
we're the kind of guys who don't take orders from someone
unless we're good and convinced...
who can't take them, actually.
I want you to understand that much.
I see.
My only target is Moby Dick.
I understand.
Then we're okay.
Well, that's how it is, Lucky.
Huh? What?
Lucky Luck Sachiko,
I order you to leave the Ahab Whale Hunter Company as of today.
Huh?
You don't have to listen to what I say anymore.
From now on, you only have to worry about your big brother and the people of Moad.
That is all!
Chocolate, chocolate...
Yours and my chocolate!
Captain! Yours and my chocolate!
Even red shoes are white shoes.
Why, why, oh why does that happen?
Captain! Why, why, oh why does that happen?
Moments later, the train arrived at headquarters.
Of course, the Captain and his crew were welcomed with great joy.
And for the first time since Moad's Civil Movement had begun,
it was decided that a huge party would take place.
A big party 500 meters underground,
to take our minds off the hard battles for just a moment.
But it's not fair...
Going and giving me the pink slip...
Together with you, chocolate!
Going and giving me the pink slip...
That's mean, Captain!
Anytime, anywhere, chocolate!
Hey, Lucky.
Yes?
You go sing a song too!
On the starry nights...
You go sing a song too!
Huh?! You've got to be kidding me!
And also in the bright mornings!
Oh, it melts me! Shining star...
You liked the sea.
You said you were always underground in the darkness mining oil,
so you liked the wide, vast sea.
On your days off from work,
we would often go to watch the sea.
Then, Harry, you would never fail to say this to me:
''Sing for me, I want to hear you sing.''
I was so happy.
I never even imagined that you and I would part.
Planetary Development Law 102: Compulsory Emigration.
Yes, that's right.
The oil fields and the mines were closed down one after the other,
and the people abandoned this planet.
They didn't abandon it.
They were taken away by force.
It's the same thing to me.
No matter how much I threw myself into my singing,
as each day passed there were fewer people who listened to my song.
I can't tell you how hard that was for an android that was built to just sing.
But...
You were always in the audience,
until that last day, when we parted.
Mr. Harry Thompson,
you were ordered to emigrate a long time ago.
Unless you have a legitimate reason for not doing so, you will be punished.
I want to stay on this planet!
No exceptions are permitted.
Let go!
Don't move!
You have committed murder.
You are under arrest.
Let go! You bastard!
Harry!
I will return! I will come back!
I will come back to see you!
And then, Harry, you did come back!
So, Harry, have you remembered anything? Even just a little bit?
No, it's no use.
But...
But?
I want you to sing.
I want to hear you sing now.
Don't cry
I am always by your side, protecting you
It's a promise
Smile brightly, especially in hard times...
This is a sacred area, 500 meters underground.
It was made to mourn the souls of miners who passed away at work.
Cave-ins, fires...
Within these past hundred years, the number of deaths exceeded well over 50,000.
Priest Shiro comes and prays for these people every day.
Shush, Kiyoshi! Shush!
See, look! You've interrupted the prayer!
It is all right.
Here, boy. Come over here.
Hey, ouch!
I understand.
You want to offer a prayer too, don't you?
For your master who passed away...
Come, let us pray.
Let us pray together.
I pray, appealing to the infinite Universe.
It is You who makes the stars shine, who brings waves to the water,
who causes people to be born and to smile.
At times You are called God, at times the Universe itself.
You have never been seen by anyone, nor will You ever show Yourself.
But we who are fools sometimes feel Your presence
and sometimes lose sight of it.
Please be with us through our countless hardships.
Your presence will give us hope,
when we have the same amount of despair.
As we pass our time now flustered, now resolute,
please, at least, show us the path we should take by shedding a single ray of light.
I pray that You will always be with us in our hearts,
and never let us lose sight of You!
The only time I ever bowed my head down to God was at the church in the orphanage,
when I wanted to wangle some coconut chocolates out of the minister.
I don't want to put a damper on things,
but I'd like you to let me say what I want to say.
Go ahead.
What is this?
Are you asking for divine intervention in this battle?
And everyone here is supposed to be pure at heart and forgiven by God?
The pure and righteous people fighting for freedom? ls that what this is?
Just to warn you, we aren't...
Well, at least, I am not pure or righteous.
Ahab!
What's the problem, Ahab?
We're just here to help!
Zip it.
Keep your trap shut, you quack doctor.
What did you say?!
I'm saying there's no such thing as a pure and righteous war!
Do you get what I mean, Lucky's big brother?
Whatever the reasons are,
if both sides are fighting to win, you have to trample down and kill your opponents!
I understand.
No, you don't understand!
If you understood, you wouldn't be able to ask a divine being for help!
A divine being that helps you kill your enemies isn't a real god!
Listen...
A god is someone you say, ''I'm sorry,'' to after you've done all kinds of things you wanted to do
and pray your hardest to for forgiveness, and it's over!
That's all they are!
Do you get what I'm trying to say?
It's dangerous to bring gods and whatnot onto the battlefield.
Life becomes cheap, you know?
There's sure to be people who say, ''I'm doing it for God,'' or whatever,
and then throw their lives away without thinking about it!
That kind of thing...
That's the one thing I can't stand!
I've seen that kind of war many times.
Humans only amount to something while they're alive, you know.
I think people who survive even if they lose deserve more respect
than people who die for the sake of victory.
If anyone dies a cheap death because of you,
that's the moment I'm saying goodbye to this planet.
I understand.
I don't think you understand,
but well, that's what I wanted to say.
But that's surely because you possess a strong heart.
People with no power, people who are weak,
they need some sort of strength if they're to go into battle!
Moron...
Where do you see anyone who's weak?
The fact that you're alive means you're strong!
It looks like it's not going to work.
I just can't get along smoothly with you,
even though I can get along just fine with Lucky.
Captain Ahab...
Captain Ahab!
Looks like I've made myself stick out like a sore thumb.
My bad. I'm sorry.
It seems like every time I come to holy-ish places like this, blood rushes to my head.
Forgive me.
This is just something I heard,
but apparently Ahab was abandoned as a child.
I hear by the time he was old enough to remember anything
he was already in an orphanage, and their church minister raised him.
He grew up in a church, but doesn't believe in God? What does that mean?
I understand it. That's the kind of personality Ahab has.
I am an android built for the people who work on Moad.
I cannot live anywhere but this planet.
This is a flower that only blooms on Moad. It's my energy source.
I'm programmed so that without this flower, I can't move or sing.
The Poisy... This flower is my life.
So all I could do was wait for you, Harry.
I couldn't leave the planet to come after you.
In nine months, this planet will be blown up and disappear.
I know.
If you stay here, you'll also...
I was able to see you again. I'm not scared at all anymore.
I have no regrets.
All l have to do now is live out my fate, along with this planet.
But you have to escape. Because I want you to live.
After you've stayed with me a little longer, just a tiny bit longer,
give up this planet and go.
I want you to live.
I want you to live, and sometimes remember me just a little bit.
That's my small wish.
Sara...
Yes?
There's no such thing as a planet that's okay to destroy,
no matter what kind of planet it may be.
No one has the right to do that.
But the Federation Government decided it.
Not even the Federation Government.
Harry, you always made that face!
Whenever you were mad or thinking really hard, you always made that face.
I always loved that face.
Let's go together!
Right now, on this planet, there are people who are fighting to stop the detonation plans.
Let's go to where they are!
I've promised to fight with them!
All right, I go where you go.
It's all right, Harry. I know we're going to be all right.
We have God on our side.
God?
Yes, he is pure white, and huge...
I've seen him many times.
Harry, run. It's Murato!
Murato?
Model ESP4678-201,
we are going to capture you and take you into custody.
Harry!
Sara! Go see Captain Ahab!
Harry!
Ahab is...
He's my friend!
HARRY!
NO!
Don't cry
I am always by your side, protecting you
It's a promise
Smile brightly, especially in hard times
Even the sadness that floats down
Will disappear into a beautiful, white memory
Don't forget that my joy
Is to continue to sing for your sake
Even if we become separated from each other
If you listen closely
Surely you will be able to hear my voice
