Zone of the Enders
What do you want? You show me!
A numbing kind of touchdown!
Don't! You can't beat me!
Even God, I don't know!
About tomorrow, no problem, this hot pulsing is burning blood
Oh! Let's go, fearsome things are
No way! Get off my way!
Know where we are going?
Zone of the Enders
Danger! Craving for the danger! Obstructing everything
Give me! Give me more danger! Just break through it
Times are so bad my head spins, but open the way with love and anger!

is still continuing strained. . .
Mr. Nikolai?
I'm sorry you're stuck in a place like this because of us.
It can't be helped if your oxygen supply is cut off.
I'm glad my trailer was of use.
Really!
And that Missy is in the midst of hibernation at this crucial moment.
It can't be helped now, can it? She's sorting out her memory.
Unlike someone's head, Dolores' computer is very delicate.
And what about you?
Using your father as a gopher in this sand storm?!
Devil! Devilish son!
I didn't have him do that!
It's no good!
Unless we change out the adjustment parts, the fuel battery won't work!
What? We don't have any spares, you know!
We're really going to run out of oxygen!
I guess there's nothing to do but go and buy new parts.
Don't say it like it's so easy!
It'll take one whole day to walk to even the nearest sphere!
"Chapter 57:
Take initiative and do what everyone else does not want to do.
Children will not forget such a sacrificial spirit their whole lives."
This is it!
Noel! Leon! Papa will take on that task!
Dad said he'd do it on his own!
I didn't ask him, not one word, right, Noel?
Then, how far are you headed this time?
We will be going to Marugariteiful,
just before Bashiria.
Wow!
Then we'll be able to accompany you part of the way, won't we?
Hey, hey, sorry to bug you while you're getting all excited,
but are you guys going to, or are you not going to challenge me?
I'll fold.
Me too.
And you?
I shall fold.
I did it! I won! I won!
What?! One pair?!
A win, is a win, you know!
Oh, Mr. Nikolai! How amazing!
Two more and you would have had a royal straight flush, wouldn't you have?
It happens a lot that you're two short, doesn't it?
No, no! It doesn't mean anything!
You're such a loudmouth all the time!
That's right. It doesn't mean anything.
Still not enough cards.

Young ladies?
Hey! Hey!
Hey!
Love and peace!
So, I finally got to Heaven?
No, this is the sphere on the southern tip of Hesperia County.
Welcome to Eipia!
Eipia?!
I struggled and got here? But really . . .
Welcome!
Love!
And peace!
Peace?
Love and peace!
Peace. . .
Love and peace!
Peace!
Love and peace!
Peace!
Love and peace!
Love and peace, right?!
Love and peace!
Thank you! Love and peace!
Love and peace!
It's love and peace, you!
What in the world is with this place?
It's been a while, hasn't it?
Really, and so then what happened?
What? What's with those kids? Really, and so then what happened?
What? What's with those kids?
Hey! What're you doing?!
Hurry up and move your car out of the way!
Don't you understand that everyone is inconvenienced?
Everyone's inconven. . .
No one's inconvenienced.
Could you not wait for them?
Don't say such stupid things!
What's wrong is wrong, isn't it?!
You. . .
See, they've understood too.
You just have to believe in them.
Love and peace!
Hey! You! Please wait!
I'm so full of emotion!
That I'd meet Mister Isaac in a place like this!
This book is my bible!
That's very kind of you.
You're perspiring so much.
I shall get something cold readied for you.
Please, come to the back.
What?! Is it really all right?!
You came running after my car.
You must be tired, right?
What? Oh, no, well. . .
It seemed you were surprised earlier.
That truly is the result of this town.
"The Absolute Trust Among People," I published that twenty years ago.
This is the town I'm so proud of that I've created
with the people who believed in this ideal.
Is it not wonderful?
It looks perfect too, but what's inside is what is wonderful.
We may call it, "the ideal children mankind has given birth to."
That's it!
I mean, not about the town, children!
Mr. Barrett, I've read this book so many times.
I could recite it from memory!
Well, thank you very much.
But still, I still don't understand!
I don't understand what the children are thinking at all!
And lately, they've become cold to me again, you know.
Yes, that is. . .
You lost your wife and, while a man alone,
raised your son by yourself!
I'm a man alone too! Please teach me!
How can I make a family like yours. . .
Not here!
The pictures aren't here!
What's happened?
You, of all people,
why don't you have pictures of your family displayed?
That. . . that is. . .
Excuse me a moment.
Yes, this is Barrett?
Mr. Barrett, I'm from the provincial police, but. . .
Provincial police?! Did Sean do something?
Your son has just escaped from Hesperia Juvenile prison.
Sean did?!
Then I will keep watch outside.
Best regards. . .
Escaped from prison?
This is bad.
Well, then at this point I should be leaving.
Mr. Links! I . . . I . . . What should I do?
Please tell me, Mr. Links!
You've been surrounded by the police?!
What do you mean?
Well, that's why, so. . .
You don't need to worry, believe in Dad.
Hey, Dad!
There's electro-magnetic wave obstruction
because of the sand storm, isn't there?
If there's no need to worry, then don't contact us!
Damn Dad!
Now that's fine.
A family picture's got to be like this!
Sorry.
It's so hard when I think about Sean.
He seems like a good son, doesn't he?
Why is he in a place like prison?
He went out to go and have some fun at another sphere,
and then he stabbed someone.
Someone?! Why?!
Who knows.
Who knows?!
But he stabbed someone, you know!
You talked about the reason, at least, didn't you?
No, I left it to the police, so. . .
Isn't there something that comes to heart concerning the escape?
Who knows.
Nothing at all?
I haven't spoken with Sean lately.
But you've gone to visit him, right?
While I thought every day, "I'll go today, I'll go tomorrow,"
it turned into something like this.
What?! Oh then, wait a moment, here.
You're saying you don't even know why your son stabbed someone,
and you don't even know why he escaped from prison?!
Because I believe in Sean, so. . .
That's wrong, isn't it?
Didn't Sean say he wanted to see you?
Well, that is,
once right after the incident occurred I received word. . .
Right after?
Unfortunately, I had a conference, and. . .
I understand. Wait there.
Is this the provincial police? Pick up my son. . .
You sold him to the pigs?!
"Sold?" That has such a bad connotation.
Of course he would have turned himself in,
so I thought it was the same thing.
It's not the same thing!
It's not the same thing at all!
Was that bad?
Isn't it bad?
Then maybe Sean was angered at me and escaped from prison
and wants to take revenge on me?
Oh, Sean!
Why didn't you believe in Papa?!
When Papa believes in you this much, Sean!
Calm down! After all, you wrote this yourself, didn't you?!
That book? It was the one that didn't sell very well, you know.
Here! Chapter 25!
"When a child has done wrong, at that time the father should. . ."
Yes, yes. . .
"first embrace him!
Embrace him tightly, listen to his story,
and then have him turn himself in to the police."
Embrace him and listen to his story, and then the police?
Close! I confused the order!
That's not the point, is it?!
Damn, Dad! Trying to look good all by himself!
If your worried, then why don't you just say it straight out?
I'm not worried!
It just bothers me a little.
Oh, really?
Let's go! To where Papa is!
Yes, that's right. That's good.
But how do you intend to go there? Missy is sleeping, you know.
I shall do something.
Really, why am I in the storage area?
Hey, aren't you a little too close?
If you don't like it, go back to the oxygen-less trailer!
Miss Noel,
what will you do if something has happened to your father?
What do you mean by "something?"
For instance, he's suffering a horrible fate at someone's hands?
I couldn't let them go free.
After all, Papa is part of my important family.
That's right.
Anyone would feel that way, anyone.
Oh! What a beautiful flower garden!
It's almost like Heaven!
Hey! Missy!
Wow! So many Uncles!
Hey! Missy!
Missy!
Heave ho!
Uncle?!
Ouch, ouch, ouch.
That's so mean, Uncle.
Good morning, Uncle!
Oh, oh dear!
Uncle and everyone aren't here!
What? Why?! Where did they go?!
What? Why?! Why . . .
What is this?
Well. . .
Uncle and everyone, do you know anything of them?
Don't come with me!
But the signal from Leon's mobile is coming from this direction.
What are you?
I'm called Dolores, the orbital frame.
And you are?
Shut up!
You're a pain in the butt! Don't come with me!
Oh! Wait!
See! This way is much faster!
From the direction you're going, where you're going
and where Uncle and everyone are, is the same.
You, you know. . .
I . . . That is. . .
Is it a bother?
No!
I want to get there as fast as possible, and Dad. . .
Oh, you're going to see your father?
How wonderful!
What's wonderful? That guy!
You say the same thing as Leon and Noel!
But you know, they really love Uncle.
What a happy bunch.
When I get my hands on him. . .
Say!
Yes?
Why are you going after them?
That's a matter of course, isn't it?
Why? You were abandoned, you know!
There's no way that could be!
I'm sure there must have been some reason.
That's why I have to hurry and get to where Uncle is.
No matter what the reason is,
it doesn't change the fact that you were abandoned.
What? What did you say?
You guys came, did you?! Go home!
We came all this way, so what's with, "go home?"
It's okay. So go back!
We can't go back now! We'll do something to get inside.
Idiot! Quit it!
It's not me those police are on the lookout for!
What?!
Why didn't you say that earlier, you idiot?!
I told you!
We haven't heard anything like that!
It's all right. So go back!
I don't want to.
After all, we've forced ourselves all the way over here!
You'll get caught!
That's then; now's now.
You know, you guys. . .
That's all right, Papa, you wait there.
What. . .
Papa!
What?
Dolores is. . .
What?!
What's that?
Uncle! Where are you?
Hey! Land over there!
Missy! So you came?!
Really! Why does it always become such a hassle?
It's Sean!
Hey!
Hey, wait!
Dad!
Uncle, where are you?
Uncle?
That hurts, you know! Really!
You people are bothersome! Now, please go over there!
Ah! Call the LEVs!
Wait! Weren't you going to talk it over?!
I said wait!
Please let go of me! Sean is serious!
He's seriously coming after me! Me!
Then you get serious too! He's seriously coming after me! Me!
Then you get serious too!
It's been a while, hasn't it, Dad?
Sean!
I finally get to see you.
It seemed you were busy, so I came out to visit you!
Hey, wait!
Are you serious about killing your parent?!
Parent?
Another silence?
You always run like that.
Since I was a kid, the whole time,
"I believe in you, Sean. You're a good kid, Sean."
Did you say anything else? Did you do anything else?
You were just running away!
Always! Always! Always when a problem came up!
You'd abandon me and go!
Sean! That's wrong!
I don't understand anymore!
What are you thinking?!
What should I do?!
Why did you
never teach me anything?!
You don't have any words for your imperfect son?
I understand.
I was just a nuisance to you.
See you, Dad!
I . . . This is all I can do for you now.
Sean!
Dad?!
Idiot! What's wrong is wrong.
You must right your wrongs.
But you are my son.
I won't forgive you trying to die before me.
Father. . .
Sean. . .
Father. . .
Sean! I was wrong!
Father was wrong up till now!
Sean!
That's right! That's what a family is!
Uncle, I found you!
Oh, dear?! Uncle, are you crying?
Don't say such stupid things!
Papa!
Are you all right, Dad?!
It doesn't seem like it.
Understand, John Carter?!
I will surely catch you
and beat you black and blue and purple and yellow, okay?!
No good, let's run!
Mr. James!
Thank you.
This. . . this is.
I'll give it to you.
This time you try to put that into practice, okay?
See you.
Ah! They're here!
You guys hold on tight!
It's seems some nuisances are coming.
I'm the one who's going to do them in.
I won't let anyone get in my way.
Now the cards are all here.
Mr. Nikolai!
I told him we'd be back before him.
Don't worry, he'll get here soon.
Oh, there!
Mr. Nikolai!
A flying ship, dreams a journey grown cold
My memory returns inside the brilliant light
When enfolded in the gentle breeze
Frozen eyes melt, time begins to move
The bells rings, ring on, ring on
This Earth awakens life
And then it shines, ring on, ring on
Ring on, ring on, the world
Next Episode
I've received a love letter!
It's a secret from Noel, but Mr. Nikolai is the one who sent it!
But it seems he's thought about it hard.
He says he won't leave Miss Noel alone unless I go on a date with him!
And when I already have someone called Uncle!
Next week, Zone of the Enders, Dolores:
"Showdown at Noon"
Maybe I'll try playing the "bad woman" a little?!
