Why did Miss Maya run from us?
She lives in a different time and space than we do.
Her thoughts are always a mystery.
It makes her difficult to babysit.
But she is needed, Gido.
Yes, I will bring her back.
I'm counting on you.
We're running out of time.
Bainas, I'm coming in.
Sure.
What's this?
It's the chart for that girl Sam brought in.
I noticed this when I was treating her, so I took a closer look...
What?
She's no ordinary person...
That girl.
Leiji Matsumoto's
OZMA
Episode 3: A Thousand Years of Doubt
We call this place the shelter.
The shelter?
Yup.
This lagoon is surrounded by rocks.
You can only get there by going underground.
A long time ago, people made a safe area here.
That girl Sam brought.
Maya?
I noticed this when I was treating her...
There's something strange about her.
Strange?
You're aware that Theseus
is composed of designer clones called "Ideal Children", yes?
Yes.
Well, she's physically closer to us Natura.
What does that mean?
This has happened once before.
A wounded Theseus soldier I was treating... turned out to be a Natura clone.
There's only one conclusion I can draw from this.
It's possible that the Ideal Children's clone bodies have degraded
over many generations of copying,
and they've started using Natura bodies to survive.
It's possible that she's...
She's no ordinary person.
Over there.
This place is filled with old machines.
My Fluke Fish, and our engine that lets us dive,
we found both of them here.
Does this run?
Yeah, I keep it maintained.
It can go whenever.
See?
Could I pilot it?
Sure.
Once you get better, I'll show you how.
More importantly, there's something else I want to show you.
Up here!
Whaddya think? Surprised?
You might say this is the opposite of the quantum transition engine.
You can fire this Monokeros into a QTF and neutralize it.
Well?
Amazing, huh?
I guess you don't understand.
So... basically...
Once it's complete,
I can use it to trap that sand whale, Ozma, under the ground.
Why are you chasing the Ozma?
It was my brother who got this and the quantum transition engine running.
But...
He went missing while he was chasing after the Ozma.
If only the Monokeros had been ready...
My brother was amazing!
Way better than I'll ever be.
If I can use it to defeat Ozma,
then maybe I'll get a bit closer to him.
Captain?
Sam.
Get back to the ship.
I want to talk to Maya.
Y-Yes, ma'am.
Maya, what are you?
The rumor is that you're like a queen to Theseus.
So why did you take off in a yacht and run away?
I... can't stay here.
The Theseus military is searching for me.
It won't be long before they find me here.
I don't want to put you in danger again!
You didn't answer my question.
I don't know anymore.
Ozma... What you call the sand whale...
I came here to meet it.
Ozma? What do you mean?
Even if I wanted to answer you, I couldn't.
I feel like I've been lost a long time...
even a thousand years...
searching for that answer.
I...
Maya!
Are you okay?
Maya's tired, Captain!
Do whatever you want, then.
First you have to get better.
Okay?
Let's get back to the ship.
Oww...
What are you doing in the hallway?
Forget that. How is she?
She's okay, right?
The doctor is giving her an examination.
We can't tell that quickly, you know that!
Why?
She looks like she's still in her teens or early twenties...
Why are her telomeres so short?
I'm making extra today, guys!
Eat up!
I'm gonna eat like a pig today!
Yeah! We came back from the edge of hell, after all!
I'm gonna eat, and eat, and eat until I can see heaven!
Man, that was close yesterday.
Yeah. We almost got boiled to death.
Why was Theseus following us, anyway?
I heard it's because of that girl the kid brought in.
She brought bad luck to the Bardanos.
Hey, wait a minute!
What did you just say, Souryuu?
I'll say it again, then.
Everybody's talking about it.
That girl you brought is some kind of scary witch—
I won't let you talk about her like that!
Hey!
Let me go!
What's wrong? That all you got, kid?
Sam's in trouble.
Guess we'd better help him, right?
Get 'em!
What the heck are you doing?!
We haven't had this much food in ages!
Boys!
Get in there!
Right away, chief!
This looks fun.
Let's get in there.
Let's!
I'll pass.
I'm eating.
You're no fun!
I finished the washing.
Mimay!
Mimay, did you see her?
Wh-What's wrong?
She vanished when I took my eyes off her!
Stop this right now, you fools!
Sam, Maya ran away from the infirmary and she's missing.
We searched the ship, and we can't find her!
Could I pilot it?
Sure. Once you get better, I'll show you how.
She must be there!
Where are you going?
Maya was interested in one of the small ships.
But where would she even find a ship like that?
There are dozens in the shelter!
Stop her!
Right!
Wait! Stop!
She's gonna cross the atoll and head for the desert!
I'll bring her back!
I'm counting on you!
Damn it!
Why are you trying to run away from us?
Over there!
I'm sorry.
But... I don't know what's right and wrong anymore...
Silence.
We will now ask the Diet for their vote.
The vote is decided in favor.
Silence!
We don't have a choice.
For us to survive and continue ruling this planet...
How strong...
I think this is the one, then, Mr. Gido?
We Ideal Children are the ones with the greatest DNA.
That is why we exist.
Perhaps the fatal flaw of science is that it strips mankind of its dignity.
Zone...
If I could get there, the future would change...
I may learn something by meeting you...
Ozma...
Maya!
Hey!
Wait!
Let's go back to the ship.
You can't cross the desert in that state.
Please, let me go!
Where are you going?
There's no need to run.
The Bardanos will help you.
They're family.
It's our home!
Thank you.
But that's why I don't want you to be in danger anymore!
This is...
It can't be Ozma?
No!
We need to get away from here!
Maya...
Don't let go!
Maya!
Captain, shall we take the Natura boy as well?
Sam!
Maya!
There's no need.
Prepare to fire.
No! Stop!
Miss Maya...
This is an order.
That boy saved my life.
I will not allow you to hurt him.
Give Maya back, you masked freak!
I'll make you regret it if you don't!
Get Miss Maya back in the ship.
Please, Gido! Don't!
Gido!
Maya!
Please...
Please.
Save him.
Ozma!
Captain!
We're seeing a massive quasi-transition field 2000 meters off the bow!
Is it the pirates' dive ship?
No.
It's too big.
It's probably...
Ozma...
Emergency dive!
Sam! Sam!
Maya!
Get Miss Maya inside the ship, now!
Run, Sam! Run!
Wait!
Ozma...
Sam!
Are you okay?
Looks like he's safe.
He's got better luck than his brother.
Sam's planning on bringing Maya back himself.
Mimay went with him.
But that's one of Theseus's newest submersibles.
Then let's get going, too!
Captain, let's have an all-out duel under the sand!
