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

Romeo had believed Anzelmo was his friend.
But Anzelmo had lured him into a trap.
Unjustly accused of theft, Romeo was forced to run away.
But the Wolf Pack had been duped by Anzelmo, and they were lying in ambush for him.
Episode 13:
Reunion in the Sewer
You stinking coward!
"Coward"...??
You sold us out to the cops! - You're gonna pay!
W..Wait!
What are you talking about? I didn't do anything like that!
Why you bastard..! Still playing dumb, are you?
What's going on in here?
You fellows have been pilfering goods from here for quite some time now, I hear.
Oh shit... run!
Who called for help? Which one of you is Romeo?
You let the cops in on the whole thing beforehand!
You led us into a trap!
Trap?
I don't have the faintest idea what you're talking about! - Shut up!
Get him!
Wait, for God's sakes! I don't..! - Shaddap!
It's too early for you to go nighty-night just yet!
You're a bad guy!
Ouch! I can't breathe!
He cut loose!
Chase after him!
Hurry up! Get after him!
Thanks, you saved my life back there!
What's going on, anyways? I didn't sell out the Wolf Pack to the police!
Shit! Where'd he get off to?
Found him? - No, not yet.
Find that bastard NOW! So we can punch his face in!
Hey!
He ran up this street!
Any trace of him? - No shadow, no nothing!
Find him! He's gotta be around here somewhere!
There he is!
Oh no!
I'll fix you so you won't be able to pull any more tricks!
Just try! I won't be beat that easily!
Is that the best you can do?
Now! Apologize!
No!
What a pigheaded ass you are!
Stop that!
Cease at once!
Who are you?!
Stay away from that fellow...! For your own sakes!
What's your game?
...for there is a dark curse hanging upon this dreadful boy's shoulders!
Whosoever strikes him shall fall dead on the spot, rest assured!
Hmph! Right!
To believe or not to believe... is up to you.
Shut up, you! Scram before you get hurt.
Ah, pathetic fellow! - Say what?!
No one can save you from the curse this boy carries! Not even I!
Hmph! How absurd.
Ohh...! The pain! Help me...!
And look! The police! - Police?
There's no police there!
He disappeared!
What's going on here?
What a dope! That was a cinch! - Uh... Umm...
Long time no see, Romeo!
D... Dante!
Romeo remembered the night of the great storm on the lake,
...the night he was torn from Dante and his companions.
Dante! So you're still alive! - Same to you!
I thought you gave up the ghost a long time ago!
It'll take more than that to do me in!
Hah! Big talker!
You low-life!
Same to you! You've got the devil's luck on your side!
What!? Now you've said it! Let's tumble! - Let's go!
Why you..!
Romeo!
D... Don't spook me like that!
Sorry. I sneaked into the big masked ball earlier.
This stuff came in pretty handy.
You really rescued me. Thank you, Dante.
Oh, don't mention it. Nothing's too big for Dante the Great!
Afterwards I ended up here in Milan, working as a chimney sweep...
So...
So, you're a chimney sweep, too.
"Romeo," was it?
The kid stole a hefty sum, from what they say.
Sounds like one wicked little monster, all right.
He's probably still nearby. Let's split up and search for him.
Understood.
Are you...? - ...being chased, yeah.
If they catch me, they'll send me to prison.
To prison?!
Romeo.
Anzelmo.
Anzelmo!
Where's Romeo?
Angeletta was the only one who knew the truth.
...that Romeo was accused of Anzelmo's crimes.
Please, Anzelmo, tell Mother and Father the truth!
Hmph! I don't get it. Why do you stick up for him like that?
He's my friend.
Your friend?!
...my first friend.
No... he's not the first...
My first friend was...
...Anzelmo!
When I was little, you used to come and play with me, here in my room.
Big Brother!
You were so gentle with me... You were so gentle, back then.
Please, big brother!
Tell them the truth... - Stop that!
You're not even my real sister!
You were gonna tell them anyways, weren't you?
So tell them! But Mom and Dad won't believe anyone but me!
After all, I'm their real son. Not some homeless girl.
Okay, nobody'll find us here.
This spot should hold up for a while as a hideout.
What a kick, though! You don't seem like the thieving kind.
I won't tell anyone! It'll be our secret, the three of us.
Forget about me..! So long as you're okay...
I was taken for a ride!
You coward!
You sold the Wolf Pack to the cops!
I see it, now... I finally get it. It was all part of Anzelmo's schemes.
Sounds likely. You're way too friendly with folks.
I didn't steal a thing!
What could I possibly do to get the boss to believe me?
You shouldn't do anything, and you know it.
That's the way adults are, it's that simple.
But if I don't...
Enough on that.
Listen, tomorrow there's a ride going to Venice. - To Venice?
If you were alone, you could sneak on.
Eh??
You can bail out of this hole!
Figure out your next move once you get to Venice.
Yes, but...
I don't want to run away... Not while I've been pegged a thief.
Can you afford to be talking like that?
If they catch you, you're headed up the river, you know!
Whoa! Better be heading back. So long!
Um, Dante!
Got it? You're busting out of Milan tomorrow!
Dante was right.
Romeo's only option left was to flee Milan.
But that meant never seeing Angeletta again.
Umm... mm... and this word is... is...
"Bird"! - Oh right! Bird!
I'm hopeless at this. I forget so quickly!
No, no, you're remembering, bit by bit.
I'll bet by springtime you'll be able to read the whole book.
All right, I'll try to live up to that!
And by that time, you've got to be feeling well again, hear?
Angeletta...
Angeletta couldn't believe it...
...when she heard you were a thief.
She said how betrayed she felt.
I can't bear to say goodbye as things stand now!
Please believe in me, Angeletta!
Nikita!
Hey, it was really something last night! Wow!
We cornered that guy Romeo in the alleyway.
Say Nikita, why didn't you come with us?
Don't you want to hit Romeo, Nikita?
Why would I? What's the point in hitting a guy like that?
What's wrong? - Those guys...!
The "merchandise"...?
All packed up!
I'll bet they're planning something again.
Oh! It's Romeo!
What's he up to?
You're gonna slip into one of those boxes.
So I stow away on there and I'll be on my way to Venice?
Right!
Freedom's a-waiting!
Haven't they found Romeo yet?
Unbelievable! What can those idiots possibly be doing?
You know, some coins have been disappearing here and there lately.
That kid just may be responsible.
Anzelmo.
How are you feeling, does it still hurt?
No, I'm okay now.
That's good.
Romeo! Everything comes back to him! It's all his fault.
It was our mistake for having bought him in the first place.
Angeletta.
What's wrong? Not feeling good?
Angeletta!
Wh... What is it, for God's sake?!
Come, tell me all about it.
Tell me, Angeletta.
Bring Romeo back here!
I saw it... - Saw it...?
It... wasn't Romeo who was stealing.
It wasn't him?
Well, now, then... what?
Did the money just get up and walk off all by itself?
Edda! Give her a chance to speak.
Hmph! So, you're saying you saw who stole it?
Who was it, then, if it wasn't Romeo?
Was it you?
It certainly wasn't me.
And, of course, not Anzel...
Was it Anzelmo? It was, wasn't it!
Yes.
Please, don't scold Anzelmo too much.
Why?
I can't stand seeing anybody at home looking sad.
Angeletta!
Ohh, what a generous child!
As you wish. Anything you want! We'll give you all you ask for!
We'll bring back Romeo!
Really?
Of course really! You needn't worry about a thing.
Thank you, Mother!
It's bad for you to have so many things running around in your head.
Now, good night!
Yes ma'am.
You said you'd bring Romeo back...
...but what about the police...? - Dear!!
Do you want my Anzelmo to be called a thief by everyone?
We never had that conversation. Not me! And not you!
Got it?
Mom! I'm hungry! - Oh, oh, yes, of course!
I'll prepare some snacks for you right away.
Thank goodness, Romeo! Thank goodness!
Dante, on second thought, I really want to tell Angeletta...
You idiot, now's not the time for that!
Do it right!
Take care, Romeo!
Is this carriage headed to Venice? - Yes, we'll be off soon.
To Venice?!
Crap! I mixed them up!
Then, where is that carriage...??
Why... you... OAF! - Say what?!
Wh... What's with this guy?!
Do you know where that carriage is headed? Do you?!
How should I?
Those two are armed robbers! The luggage is full of gunpowder!
Say what?! Romeo..!
Don't shake it so much. Do you want the powder to go up?
Makes you sweat, don't it? One slip and we're pushing daisies!
I had snuck onto a robber's buggy!
The compartment was full of gunpowder!
They planned to blow up a police station to free a friend!
Somebody, help!
See you then!
Escape, Quickly!
