Enormous structure ahead. Distance, 8000.
I'll pull up the image.
It's Elpida.
Final Episode Daphne in the Brilliant Blue
It's big all right.
That's not surprising. It's the same size as the old city.
A long time ago, Kamchatka was on the bottom of the ocean...
just like this.
It's strange.
It's in too good of a condition for having failed to surface.
I thought for sure the pressure would have crushed it.
There does seem to be a hole.
That's different.
It looks more like it was attacked from the outside...
than crushed by water pressure.
Um...
Could you get inside from there?
I want to look for the capsule buried under the laurel tree.
The laurel tree in Siberia, the one in Noimosyni...
was a garden tree from before we moved.
The one with the capsule buried under it is here.
If I can find the capsule, then it'll all make sense.
I'll be able to tell which things were lies and which were true.
If you don't find it?
If you can't find the capsule?
The city was destroyed 100 years ago.
You don't even know if you can find the laurel tree, let alone the capsule.
What do you do then?
Either way...
This is where I come to terms with my past!
Submarine, 12 o'clock!
It's!
We've located the target.
Don't let them get any closer to Elpida.
You're free to attack, if necessary.
This is the Ocean Agency.
Leave the prohibited waters at once and surface immediately.
I repeat. Leave the prohibited waters at once...
Damnit! They beat us to it.
We can't outrun an Ocean Agency sub. What do we do?
Shizuka!
We don't know whether we can outrun them unless we try!
We can make sharper turns than they can.
And they can't fire torpedoes at this depth.
Target running away at 40 knots.
Engine, full speed. Commence chase.
Engine, full speed. Commence chase!
Stop your ship!
If you do not comply with the order, we will attack.
I repeat! Stop your ship.
Doesn't look like they're going to heed our warning.
Right.
That leaves us no choice. Prepare to fire the torpedoes.
Prepare to fire the torpedoes!
That sound...
Sound of torpedo tube flooding, confirmed!
That's impossible!
Fire the torpedo!
Torpedo approaching, distance 1000!
It's no good. I can't shake them!
Everyone, brace yourselves for impact!
Target confirmation. Running away at 15 knots.
What the hell's going on?
Captain!
Flooding in the rear compartment!
Gloria! Yu!
What's that?
Um...
Fresh forces?
It's bigger than an Ocean Agency sub!
Elpida!
A message for the filthy stinkin' women of Nereides!
May?
The four brother and sister treasure hunters will take care...
of the Ocean Agency's snapping turtle.
But we want Maia afterwards. All right?
May, why me?
You're a survivor from Elpida, aren't you?
You're going be our guide to help us find the treasure.
It's time to sink the Ocean Agency!
What?!
Hold on a second, May!
There was never any talk about doing that!
The guy with the shades just told us to protect Maia...
in exchange for lending us the sub!
This kind of thing is...
just a matter of spirit! Spirit!
Reverse the engine! Full speed retreat!
I don't recall sending in that boat!
But the fact is, there's an advanced-class allied sub...
It's you!
I'll be damned. This doesn't make any sense at all.
I'll have an investigation started right away.
Do you know what you're doing?!
Director Tanaka, Director Kim...
the Secretary has returned from Antarctica.
Please come to his office.
Both subs are withdrawing.
Switch over to the Elpida image.
To the left.
Stop.
Closer.
If we try from there, the mini-sub can make it inside.
You're looking for the capsule, right?
Hurry up and go while those guys play with the Ocean Agency.
But, what about you guys?
We don't have time to tag along on your memory search.
Yu, has the flooding stopped?
Not yet.
We're taking in water from too many places.
We're short-handed.
Shizuka!
Have a good trip, Maia.
Right.
Our hospital can't accommodate any more people!
You'll have to go someplace else...
Nowhere else will take us. Please, help this child!
Mama!
It has now been 5 days since the accident at the bio-chemical plant.
There is still no communication or transportation with other cities...
while the panic continues to spread.
Thus far, those infected with the virus...
The emergency medical team from the Ocean Floor City Federation...
will be arriving shortly.
Please remain calm and wait in your homes...
for further instructions from the government.
Bio-chemical plant...
Virus... Emergency medical team...
A biological disaster?!
Maia Mizuki's in Elpida...
Secretary, we have an obligation to protect history.
Elpida was destroyed when it failed to surface!
I've informed the Prime Minister about this situation concerning Maia Mizuki.
The Prime Minister was also troubled over it.
He wondered how long we'll have to hide the crimes of our forefathers.
It was the decision of the leaders at that time...
of the Ocean Floor City Federation.
It was because they made that very painful choice that we are here today!
If that's the case, isn't that all the more the reason...
we should bear the cross for the people the painful choice was forced upon?
Instead of endlessly drumming up this bogus history...
isn't it about time we took responsibility for the past?
Maia, Maia!
Big brother?!
What is it, Big Brother?
You can't go outside! Come on, hurry!
What?!
I see. All right then.
Honey?
Looks like the whole thing about the Ocean Floor City Federation...
putting together an emergency medical team is a cover story.
Apparently submarines are already guarding the dome's perimeter.
If you try and escape, you'll be attacked.
They've given up on Elpida!
There's something I need to tell both of you.
Hey, where are we going?
Maia...
Notifying all citizens! The emergency medical team...
from the Ocean Floor City Federation will be arriving shortly.
Please remain calm and...
It has now been five days since the accident at the bio-chemical plant.
There is still no communication or transportation with other cities...
while the panic continues to spread... Out of the car. We'll walk from here.
Our hospital can't accommodate any more people.
You'll have to go someplace else...
Nowhere else will take us. Please, help this child!
Mama!
You remember, right?
The cold sleep pods we used for the animals...
in preparation for surfacing.
I have long dreamed of surfacing.
The laurel trees were in hope of that.
I want the two of you to realize my dream.
These pods will carry you both to the ground above.
You mean, big brother and me are going to surface?
That's right. Both of you.
What about you and mom?
There are still some things we have to do in Elpida.
Don't worry. I'm sure we'll see each other again.
Maia...
No... No! I don't want to!
Maia...
I'm not going! I want to go home!
Maia, don't be like this! Listen to what we say!
No, I'm not going! I'm staying with you and mom!
Maia.
It's OK. I'll be right here next to you.
I'll always be with you.
Big brother...
Go.
You two are the children of Elpida.
Elpida means hope.
This is Rena. Can you hear me, Maia?
We're finished with the repairs here. What's your situation?
The destruction of Elpida wasn't caused by an accident during surfacing.
It was because of a quarantine due to a biological disaster.
The Ocean Floor City Federation was afraid of the contagion.
Not only did they fail to launch a relief effort...
they completely sealed the city off and left it to its doom.
And in order to cover it up...
they said that Elpida failed to surface...
It was all a lie.
The history we've been taught is a lie.
Elpida was forsaken...
by the people in the other ocean floor cities...
and by the Ocean Floor City Federation.
This is Maia. I found the capsule.
What's inside?
I'll transmit it now.
Happy birthday, Maia!
Thanks!
Maia!
Come on. I told you not to film me!
Congratulations, Maia!
I'll take you for another ride on my bike.
Happy birthday, Maia.
Nice to meet you, father.
Maia, please keep helping me with the meals.
Nice to meet you, mother.
Here, these are done.
Thanks. Ow! It's hot!
That's a stupid thing to film.
I'm getting you back for earlier.
Good grief.
Hey, look over here!
You're not hurt?
No.
Here. Take my hand.
Maia.
Give me your hand.
I'm here with you. I'll always be right here next to you.
Big brother...
Maia. The incantation.
The tree planted by the water bears fruit when the time comes.
Its leaves never wither.
It brings prosperity to all things where it grows.
Please be strong.
I'II...
I'll be with you.
I won't let you suffer through this alone.
Big brother...
Maia! Hurry up and get out of there!
The dome looks like it could collapse any second!
Elpida!
The treasure!
Good-bye.
Your brother's pod was discovered 35 years after the Elpida incident.
It didn't take long for him to regain his memory...
but in exchange for his personal safety...
the Information Agency made him promise never to open his mouth.
And so, he kept everything to himself.
For 60 years, he just kept waiting for the day he could see you...
Daphne.
My big brother told me everything.
We had our own language that only the two of us understood.
It looks like the government has decided to disclose...
the truth about the destruction of Elpida.
The Prime Minister will be making an address sometime soon.
What are your plans for the future?
The Ocean Agency, or?
What a great word... "the future."
I'll be fine.
There's no need to look back on the past anymore?
No.
Elpida means... hope.
Examinee Number 1147!
Hey Tsukasa, your classmate still hasn't come?
No, she hasn't. The time period for accepting applicants is almost over.
There's a 100,000 rima reward on each or their heads.
We're definitely catching them!
I know!
We've taken back the Agnes!
