Bruce...
It is not your daughter, but I, who shall receive your inheritance.
Well? How does that make you feel?
It's your fault for dying!
Millennium Doug MK II...
An interstellar transport shuttle manufactured by the Millennium Corporation.
Let's see, the model year was...
What?! G.C. 1992?!
This ship was built the same year my grandfather was born.
Will it even move the way it is now?
This says it's still in service, performing admirably.
They might as well have foisted a scrap yard ship on us.
Exchange it for a recent model.
No way! That'd be a waste.
A waste?
This whole vintage feel is the coolest.
Whoa, awesome!
It says you adjust the descent speed manually!
Wow, check it out! I wonder what this switch does?
You're the one who's not working properly. Wow, check it out! I wonder what this switch does?
Chelsea? Chelsea!
Come here a minute.
What is it, Angelica?
Would you mind helping me get these onto the shuttle?
Is this all food?!
Yep.
Franca sure made a fuss, didn't she?
She didn't have to worry about us on top of everything else.
You think maybe since she's lived her whole life around grown-ups
she's learned to be uptight all the time.
That's exactly why...
once we finish this job I'm gonna let Franca go back to being a kid.
Time left until the photonic bomb is dropped on Graceland...
72 hours
I etch out today with my finger
On the dusty hood of a car
As the rain shower passed over
It vanished just like love
There's something in your heart you can't get rid of
So beat your invisible wings
We'll fight back against the wind
That gusts at us so relentlessly
We'll stand firm against it
With steadfast emotion! Go!
We continue running on our way
To a place promised, where sandstorms whirl
Tonight is the night
We're gonna make it through
On to our destination
Episode 8 The Road to Gigabanks
Main engine optimal.
Episode 8 The Road to Gigabanks
Setting of descent point coordinate axes complete.
Episode 8 The Road to Gigabanks
All sections green.
All systems operating within normal parameters.
Commence descent to Graceland.
Messenger craft docking at Gate 7. Cleared for approach.
I have brought written orders for Commander-in-Chief Malcolm from Admiral Mill.
Well done.
By carrier pigeon?
Yes, sir.
The development of communications and jamming signals
has led to them delivering these by hand the old-fashioned way, huh?
It has been done in accordance with the Federation manual,
regarding retention of classified information and information leakage.
It demonstrates just how vital this mission is, sir.
Yes, I guess you're right.
Commander-in-Chief Malcolm, I have good news.
General Boniek of the Graceland Liberation Forces
has agreed to peace negotiations now, at the very last moment.
Preparations for the negotiations are underway in the utmost secrecy.
Good, it looks like we'll get by without dropping the bomb.
Yeah...
However, I want you all to continue on course towards Graceland.
If the Liberation Forces find out that peace talks are going on behind the scenes,
it's possible that some will not be willing to look at the big picture.
I suppose this means every organization has certain reactive members prone to backlash.
Also, the plan is for the peace talks with Boniek and the leaders of the Liberation Forces
to be carried out aboard your ship.
The Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Senator Hewlett,
who will serve as full ambassador in the peace talks, is already on his way there.
What is it?
We have just received word from the fleet surrounding Graceland
that a single Guild battleship is descending to Graceland.
A Guild battleship?
All right.
How shall we proceed?
Why now?
To hawk weapons?
It's also possible the Liberation Forces have called them in.
Then could agreeing to peace talks also be a ruse to buy time?
In either event, until they have come to the negotiating table,
we cannot afford to aggravate matters in any way.
Tell the blockade to let them go untouched.
Yes, sir.
So you are going to Graceland after all, are you?
Yes.
Thank you very much for the shuttle. It's totally cool!
I'm at a loss for words.
Actually, I thought this might be enough to make you give up.
We appreciate it.
A short while ago, a Guild battleship descended to Graceland.
Did it come into conflict with the Federation's forces?
No, the Federation has not made any move against it.
You could say it's more like they let it slip by without a word.
Which means...
The dropping of the photonic bomb will be carried out as planned.
Whatever the Guild might do will not affect the state of the war.
I think that's a reasonable conclusion.
Even so, do you still intend to go?
Yes, it is my job after all.
Descent speed optimal.
Sixty seconds to arrival at destination point.
Visibility normal.
Touchdown point clear.
Firing reverse thrusters.
Touchdown at destination point.
All personnel prepare to disembark.
All right, then...
We will begin our treasure hunt.
Ah, man...
Marciano and her gang have probably started their treasure hunting.
Hey, you're not supposed to mention them.
It makes me feel like there's no point flying this thing.
Damn it! This is so damn frustrating!
They'll never be able to find Bruce's inheritance!
Aren't you forgetting something, Pops?
Those guys have Bruce's eye!
So what if they do?
They're not gonna find it.
Well, how about that! You're just bubbling over with confidence, aren't you?
You said it yourself back when you watched the video in Bruce's eye,
that you couldn't believe it was the same planet at all.
Is it really that different now?
It's not that it's simply "different."
Compared to what's in those videos, Graceland is now...
It's a whole other planet.
We couldn't possibly determine where the cave with Gigabanks is now.
I'm amazed you can eat with the ship shaking like this!
Don't you feel sick or anything?
Nah, I'm used to eating inside ships.
If you've got that much composure, then I guess you'll be all right,
no matter what happens.
Well, you see...
We've gone a little off course from our touchdown point.
Off course?! How far?
Well, actually, I don't really know myself.
Hang on!
You don't know? What are you talking about?!
Well, this is the first time I've ever tried landing manually.
June's squad is commencing search of sector B-6.
January's squad is moving to sector D-4.
April's squad has completed search of sector A-2.
No sign of Gigabanks.
August's squad has completed search of sector E-1.
No sign of Gigabanks.
March's squad has completed search of sector C-4.
No sign of Gigabanks.
Next...
Guys, listen to me a minute.
To buy ourselves time to search for the treasure,
we'll have to do something about the photonic bomb on our own.
We know that, Mister.
You want to split us into a Jupiter group and a Gigabanks group, right?
That's right.
We could also head to Graceland after we stop the photonic bomb,
but if Marciano beats us to the treasure, it's all over.
I'm telling you I know that.
We can't expose Franca to the dangers involved in getting rid of the bomb.
We need Katana to pilot the Coyote.
And the old guy here knows all about Gigabanks.
And that leaves me.
It'll be all right. Just leave it to me.
I just need to stop that photonic bomb, right?
Well, I would like to have you go to Jupiter too.
Too?
I also want Swamp to go with you.
Wait a minute, Mister!
I don't need the old guy.
He'll only slow me down.
My sentiments exactly.
I'll be just fine on my own. Leave this to me.
That's probably what he's worried about.
Enough of your heckling from the sidelines, you shrub-headed freak!
Don't you think this is a bad combination after all?
You ever consider trying out a new hairdo?
Don't you think this is a bad combination after all? You don't look any different now
You think? You don't look any different now
You think? than you did in those old videos!
You're the one who needs to act your own age, and at least button your damn shirt right.
Looks to me like they're enjoying this. You're the one who needs to act your own age, and at least button your damn shirt right.
I'll bet your mommy used to scold you for being so sloppy, didn't she?
Ah, I can't stand it!
Everything you say pisses me off!
I feel exactly the same way about you.
I'm gonna get me some scissors and trim that damn bush on your head.
Time left until the photonic bomb is dropped on Graceland...
And I'm gonna button up that damn shirt for you nice and tight! Time left until the photonic bomb is dropped on Graceland...
And I'm gonna button up that damn shirt for you nice and tight!
59 hours
I figured out where we are, Angelica!
Well?
45 degrees North latitude, 160 degrees East longitude...
I guess we're at this point here, on the Paralla Ocean.
Which means...
We've ended up pretty far from where Marciano's gang landed.
Sorry about that...
It's all right.
It's fine as long as we make it there before Mister arrives.
Will Mister really come?
Oh, he'll come.
In that case, this Mister must be quite the optimist.
That's right.
As long as the odds are greater than zero, he won't give up.
He wouldn't do us the favor.
He'll tenaciously cling to his own ideas.
That's what Coyotes are all about.
Now you've got it.
I can't tell if that's a compliment or an insult...
Well, shall we get going?
Sure!
Um, Angelica? Are those...
The evacuations have begun for real, haven't they?
Yeah...
Everyone is going to abandon this planet.
Well?
Do you think you'll be able to lock on Jupiter's coordinates?
Do you have any idea who you're speaking to, young lady?
That's right!
It's no use, no matter what kind of jamming signals they send out.
They're no match for us!
March's squad has arrived in sector C-2.
June's squad has completed search of sector B-3.
No sign of Gigabanks.
January's squad has completed search of sector D-5.
No sign of Gigabanks.
April's squad has completed search of sector A-4.
No sign of Gigabanks.
In all seriousness, it seems as though we may have to cover every square inch of the planet.
Didn't you have something you wanted to talk about?
Well, not that it matters to me.
I'll bet you actually enjoy getting on his case.
I'm on to you.
Are you talking about Bishop?
It's probably amusing for you since he's such a dope!
Hey, don't go getting a kick out of this all by yourself.
Aren't you getting a kick out of it?
I didn't come here for amusement.
Well, I'm amused.
This whole Gigabanks deal is a total blast, like I thought.
I don't like how you just keep pressing on without any doubt that I'll do whatever you say.
You are though.
We're gonna stop this photonic bomb from dropping.
It won't be easy.
That's the impression I get.
I can't let him go alone.
I know.
The thing we've got to consider is what we're going to Graceland for.
I've come this far to see for myself whether or not you're worthy to inherit Bruce's legacy.
That's the idea.
Can I ask you something?
Feel free.
What did Bruce call to tell you before he pulled the heist on Gigabanks?
Nothing at all.
Can I ask you something?
What?
Did he... Did Bruce get a kick out of cracking Gigabanks?
Shall I help you?
No, it's all right.
I'm pretty much done now.
Ah, okay.
Say, Franca.
Hm?
So do you want Bruce's legacy?
I'm not sure.
What would you do if you got hold of 10 billion space dollars?
What do you mean what would I do?
With that much money, you could buy anything you wanted.
To be honest, I don't really care about money.
Only...
I would like to know more about Papa.
Everyone calls him the Pirate King, and says that he was such an amazing person,
but that's only stuff I've heard.
We didn't have much time together.
But I was thinking if I got the treasure,
I might find out what kind of person he was.
Time left until the photonic bomb is dropped on Graceland...
48 hours
That's another Guild helicopter.
Seeing them flying around all over the place makes me think they haven't found the treasure yet.
What could the treasure be anyway?
Who knows...
Aren't you interested in finding out what it is?
Oh, I am.
Why do you want to know everything?
I don't get it.
I can't imagine Mister would come here with money as his only motive.
There must be something else.
I want to know what that is.
Are you really curious about it just because it's your job?
I've been meaning to ask you this for a while...
Is there something that happened that motivated you to pursue Mister?
It was four years ago that you became an investigator focusing on Mister, right?
How about that!
The price on my head has gone up again!
That's hardly anything to be so laid-back about.
That's gonna have bounty hunters drooling all throughout space.
Will this ship do?
All right, I'll take it.
I appreciate the business.
This is too much!
Not at all. I think it's a fair amount.
Considering the information you give me, that is.
Jeez...
C'mon, this is nothing new.
I don't know the reason why, but some Guild people are digging up the ground all over Graceland.
Huh?
One other thing, and this is a rumor, but supposedly...
A group of Federation higher-ups are headed towards Graceland.
Who's in charge?
Senator Hewlett...
What? I can take it, can't I?
Yeah...
For a little extra information.
Well? Any results from the transmission?
Nope, hang on another minute.
Whatcha doing?
We're sending out a signal in all directions which forces a reply,
and then testing the response that we get back.
It's like Mister said.
There's a single direction we isolated that isn't returning a reply.
You can bet there's strong jamming over that whole area.
Another thing I heard, which is also a rumor,
is that there are carrier pigeons flying all around there.
Carrier pigeons?
Regarding the most highly classified orders,
the Federation manual dictates the use of jamming signals,
which also shut out their own side's transmissions.
All orders are delivered by hand.
Then that story about the Federation higher-ups heading for Graceland...
Is something we can actually believe.
Guess so.
So my thinking goes.
So even if Katana and I try to break into the Federation's network and find their location,
we won't get anywhere since no signals are being broadcast.
Wow...
You guys are surprisingly on the ball with this.
Franca...
Well, the time has finally come for us to really do this thing.
Here.
What's that for?
I figured you wouldn't have one.
It's the latest model though,
so it might be a little tough for an old geezer to use.
Well, I guess you are the kind of guy
who compensates for his lack of skill with fancy equipment.
Wow, you're good, Swamp!
I'm going to do as you say this time.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm sure I'll have to sit through one of your sermons when we get back.
Naturally.
If you guys screw this up, we're dead meat. We're counting on ya.
We're counting on ya!
You just leave it to us.
Well, if we're all decided, then let's get ready to go!
We don't have much time!
You called, Mother?
I have an errand for you.

He could have just given it to you himself instead of asking me.
What? A present from Swamp?
Yeah!
It's a map. To Gigabanks!
They're off.
