Maia?
I knew it!
Millie...
Are you OK?
Maia?
Someday... we'll all be able to surface...
Episode 22 Terms of Endangerment
OK. I'm all out!
So I run out of food and you guys just take off.
This is Maia Mizuki.
Sample, raccoon. Internal pod temperature, normal.
No problems detected in shield and electromagnetic system.
Sample's body temperature, pulse and respiration are...
all within the standard value.
There's nothing wrong with this pod either.
Good.
This completes this month's routine inspection.
Yes.
Dad!
Maia...
Have you finished with the squirrels already?
They didn't want to play anymore after I ran out of food.
Is that right?
Start getting ready to go back. I'm gonna head on over to the dock.
Sure.
Hey Dad, when are you going to wake up these animals?
Well, the day we surface isn't too far off anymore.
I'm sure it'll be soon.
Someday... the city will rise to the surface.
I'm home!
Welcome back.
Listen! Listen! I fed squirrels. They were so cute!
You did? That's great.
Yeah. I'm definitely going again next month.
It's not easy getting permission for unauthorized people to enter there.
No! I want to go!
Well, then...
guess I don't have much choice.
Maia, you must be hungry. Come help me.
Sure!
Huh?
What's this plate for?
Oh, I know!
Big brother!
Hello! I'm Ai Mayuzumi. You must be Little Maia, right?
You know what my research is for, right?
It's for when we go back to the surface, isn't it?
You make the animals sleep...
and you look and see what it's like above water.
That's right.
But there are some people who aren't happy about the research.
I didn't know that.
Anyway, I've come to protect your father from the bad people.
Nice to meet you!
I'm done.
Did I do something to upset her?
No. It's not your fault.
For a moment she thought that her brother had come back.
So your brother's away at boarding school?
You can't see him and you miss him, right, Little Maia?
Hey, you got a minute?
Hold on tight, OK.
I'm gonna really fly. Hold on tight!
Hey, look!
Little Maia!
Look in front.
Hey, look!
Whenever I'm feeling down I ride this thing.
What do you think? Feels good, doesn't it?
I'm...
I'm sorry, Miss Mayuzumi.
It's not your fault my brother didn't come back...
But, I...
Call me "Ai", all right?
Not "Miss Mayuzumi", "Ai."
OK, then call me "Maia" not "Little Maia."
Roger that. Maia!
Hey, come on, make her fly again, Ai!
OK!
Look over here, Mom!
Don't just film things, Maia. Help out a little.
All right.
I'll get it.
Big brother!
Happy birthday, Maia.
Happy birthday, Maia!
Thanks!
Maia.
Come on, blow out the candles.
Yea!
Congratulations!
Let's eat!
Maia...
On the tip of your nose.
Hey, don't film me looking like this.
Come on. Don't film me.
Here, these are done.
Thanks. Ow! It's hot!
Look at you!
That's a stupid thing to film.
I'm getting you back for earlier.
Good grief.
Hey, look over here!
Are you all right?
You're not hurt?
No.
Here. Take my hand.
Come on, don't just film things. Let's eat.
Yeah.
Dad, I want some meat too.
Here you go. Eat up and you'll grow big and healthy.
Yep.
Maia... Maia!
There's someone outside.
What's going on?
Follow me.
OK. Stay right here until I tell you it's all right.
It's OK. It'll be over soon.
Big brother...
It's OK.
Everything's going to be all right.
Were you OK?
Yes! I wasn't scared because my big brother was with me.
I see.
All right. Go ahead.
We'll open it someday!
Once the tree has grown after basking in the sun, that's when...
OK, big brother.
What are you doing?
We buried a capsule under this tree. We're going to open it after it gets big.
What kind of tree is it?
It's a laurel. We named it "Daphne".
We always plant one in our yard.
We planted one before we moved here, when we were living in Noimosyni.
My father plants them hoping that someday we'll all be able to surface.
Noimosyni is the former name of Siberia City.
The laurel tree I saw in Siberia is the one...
we planted in Noimosyni...
the place we lived before we moved to Elpida.
But if you're saying it's Elpida... You know a long time ago...
It failed to surface and everyone who lived there died.
But I remember.
We definitely buried a capsule under the laurel tree that time.
In the yard of our home in Elpida.
Together with Ai and...
my big brother.
I'm sorry but I'm not your older brother.
Ocean Agency Security Division Investigation Section No.1 Tony Long
My name is Tony Long. I'm with the Ocean Agency's Security Division.
Ocean Agency?
Maia Mizuki. You are indeed a survivor from Elpida.
For about a 100 years after the destruction of Elpida...
you were drifting around in the ocean, lying asleep in a cold sleep pod.
5 years ago, your pod was accidentally found by an Ocean Agency submarine...
and they brought you back to life.
While the resuscitation itself was a success, your memory was lost...
due to a side effect caused by the long period of cold sleep.
Cold sleep... me?
But... why? How come?
What happened to the other people living in Elpida?
My big brother... my mom and dad, what happened to them?
You were the only one to survive.
And now you are Elpida's sole survivor.
In other words, you are the only living witness.
Maia...
There are those who find your existence undesirable.
That's why I was guarding you.
I'm going back to headquarters for now.
Make sure to lock all the doors carefully.
I will.
I see. So it's all finally coming back to her?
She still can't remember everything, but it's only a matter of time.
Maia, are you all right?
Yes...
Feeling a little calmer now?
Yes... well, I'm sorry.
About what?
For dragging you into this thing...
Yeah really!
I finally get some vacation time to go back home...
and you have to drag me into this mess.
Is that what you thought I was going to say?
Millie...
That's right...
Ai was your great grandmother.
What was my great grandmother like?
Well... she was a lot like you.
Really?
I was only together with her for a little while...
but I could sense her kindness and sincerity.
I sensed it in her and I can sense it in you too.
It's obvious that you two are blood relatives.
Ai got married and had a child and then that child got married...
and so on...
Maia...
It's really true... 100 years have passed...
Looks like Tony's back.
Maia!
Pull out.
What should we do about her? Finish her off?
That's not necessary. Let's go.
Yes...
I see.
Well done.

What?! Maia's been kidnapped by the Ocean Agency?
We have to go rescue her right away!
I've been secretly training, in case something like this ever happened.
Look at these muscles! And my custom-made bathing suit!
I'm ready! Nothing has been neglected.
This is it! Let's go!
Branch manager.
Yes?!
You stay in the office.
Yes...
