World Masterpiece Theater
Romeo's Blue Skies
"To the Sky..."
Overlooking the rows of houses and stores
from the highest vantage,
Such things as tears and sadness
will quickly vanish
The birds, wind, and sunshine...
...all are your friends
I'll carry this dream farther than far
...no matter the distance...
I long to fly freely
through the blue sky in my heart...
The far distant blue sky
It flows into tomorrow
Takara Fansubs Original translation: TechnoGirls
Anzelmo had beguiled Romeo in an attempt to ensnare him.
But his plans went awry...
...and Anzelmo was run out of the Wolf Pack.
Out of hatred for Romeo, Anzelmo vowed revenge,
...and ironically placed the blame for these events on Romeo's head.
Episode 12:
To Vanish into the City of Mists
Just wait, Romeo.
I'll drive you into a pit!
Boss... Anzelmo's actually an okay guy, after all.
He told me we could be friends from now on.
I think we're going to get along great, the two of us!
Anzelmo!
Anzelmo! What's wrong?
What happened, Anzelmo?
It's... nothing.
It damned well looks like more than "nothing"!
Imagine, walking around in broad daylight with such a hideous face!
Wait here a bit... I'll go get some water.
What happened?
It was THEM... the Wolf Pack!
Wasn't it! Anzelmo!
Forget about me...
So long as YOU made it okay...
What do you mean?
I can't tell you... if I did, it would only bring you trouble.
Anzelmo!
Please, tell me what happened!
He said...
that he wants to beat you up and drive you out of town.
Who's "he"?
Tachioni.
Tachioni...?
He hates strangers with a passion.
I stopped him! I told him we were friends!
But then...
Where is he... Tachioni?
The... bridge...
Romeo!
I'll be back soon, boss.
Romeo!
Dad...
Water...
Here. Drink.
On account of me, Anzelmo...!
Hey there, oaf!
Where's Tachioni?
Say what?
Anzelmo got beaten black and blue for sticking up for me.
Sticking up for you?!
I can't let it slide.
Man, you sure come up with the wildest stuff to say.
Well, Tachioni's in there, if you want him.
Stupid! Don't TELL him!
So, that's where he is.
Wait here, okay? I'll be back. I'm going to look for Romeo.
If you wanted to start something with me,
you should have come straight off and done it!
Don't ever lay another finger on Anzelmo!
If that ever happens to him again...!
What if it does?
Perfect!
I was going stir-crazy having no one to punch the living daylights out of...
Punk!
Get him, Tachioni!
Right there!
Bastard!
Stop it!
This is between the two of them. Don't interfere.
Moving around like a god-damned ballerina...
Okay... your little game is OVER now.
What?! The Wolf Gang is rumbling in that boat?
They're always sneaking onboard.
Okay.
That... hurts!
That's the spirit, Tachioni! Get him! Get him!
This is the end!
Say your prayers!
What's going on here?
It seems you fellows come onboard and steal food here pretty often lately.
Oh shit... run!
Who called for help? Where's "Romeo"?
This must be him!
Tachioni!
Are you all right?
Yes, I'm okay.
Get yourself together, then.
Can you stand?
What?! Cops found the boat?
That Romeo guy planned the whole thing!
He warned the cops beforehand!
He set us up for a trap!
I can't believe that guy! Teaming up with ADULTS!
Damned coward!
What's wrong, Nikita?
A guy like that...
...why would he want to do such a thing?
It's Romeo's fault that we can't go in that storehouse any more, you know!
I guess. But...
What are we going to do, Giovanni?
You're going to beat him into a pulp!
Meanwhile, Angeletta could sense trouble in the air.
Anzelmo!
What on earth happened to you?
Mom!
Anzelmo!
Mom!
You poor thing! Who could have done such a thing?
Romeo did it!
ROMEO did it?
The world turned black before Angeletta's very eyes.
It can't be!
Angeletta, her heart weakened by long illness,
had been warned against too much excitement by her doctor.
Romeo... don't come back home!
I just know...
something terrible...
is going to happen...
Now that guy will never beat up on Anzelmo again.
God-dammit!
Far deeper-reaching than the bruises on Anzelmo's face were those within his heart.
Anzelmo's hatred of Romeo grew, bit by bit, all the more...
What could I do? Romeo is go...
Anzelmo? What's he...?
Somebody! Hey! Come quick!
What?!
Anzelmo, what's wrong?
What's this?
Why does he have all these coins in his bag?
It's obvious why! He stole them!
Stole?
It's gone, after all!
The money I had hidden in here, it's gone!
That can't be!
Then -- it really was...
It was Romeo!
Wait!
Wait! It's not true!
Angeletta!
...not true...
Angeletta! You mustn't leave your room!
Anzelmo was...
Anz...
Angeletta!
She's got a raging fever.
The doctor! Get the doctor!
How am I going to explain how I got these bruises to Angeletta?
I guess "playing with a bear" isn't going to cut it.
I'm back.
S -- sorry for being late.
I knew you wouldn't run away.
I was positive you'd come back...
...to get the things you had stolen!
Things I'd stolen?
You dirty little thief!
What the hell were you gonna do with it?!
Were you planning on splitting it up between your Wolf Pack friends?
What are you talking about?
Stop playing the fool.
We found this in your bag!
I don't know anything about it!
You got your Wolf Pack to gang up on Anzelmo and beat him up, eh?!
Piccolo!
Stop it, Piccolo!
Hey!
Is that devil yours?
Piccolo isn't a devil!
Boss, please listen to what I have to say. I...
I thought there was some good in you.
But God! What a mistake that was!
You're nothing but a godforsaken packrat thief!
I can't let you stay here any longer.
Anzelmo, lock him up until the police get here!
Yes, Dad.
Police?! Why are the police coming?
I haven't done anything!
Anzelmo...
...you believe me, don't you?
Angeletta said she couldn't believe it.
That you were a thief.
She felt betrayed, she said.
Farewell, Romeo.
The police will be here soon to take that good-for-nothing off to prison.
Then it's the whip for him, or an island exile.
I don't want to see his face again!
Oh well. Now I'm going to have to look for a new kid.
Romeo...
Romeo...!
Angeletta...
I'll never see you again.
And I'll have left you with nothing but contempt for me!
Prison!
Alfredo!
What would you do if you were in my place?
The policeman is here.
He's inside.
Be sure to whip him. Give him at least ten floggings.
Ten floggings isn't severe enough.
The only way to "teach" incorrigible boys like this is through their hide.
One kid from a while ago went and passed OUT on us 'cause we whipped him so much.
Anzelmo...
You..!
Romeo got away!
You're not getting away this time, you coward.
Get him!
Let's beat this jerk into a bloody pulp!
The wolf-pack moves in for the kill!
And right at the last moment -- a masked boy appears.
Is... is it you?
It's an unexpected reunion.
See you then!
Reunion in the Sewer
