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

Accused of theft, Romeo was forced to run from the police.
He dreaded running while Angeletta thought so badly of him,
...but he finally resolved to leave Milan.
But in doing so, he had found himself on the wrong ride.
Episode 14:
Escape, Quickly!
Do you know what that carriage is? Do you?!
How should I?
Those two are armed robbers! The luggage is full of gunpowder!
Say what?! Romeo...!
This is terrible!
Move it! We've got to catch him!
Me?!
You're his friend, aren't you?
C'mon, let's go!
My bro's been itching to get out of that cell, I bet.
Oh, we'll get him out soon enough. Just as soon as this...
...goes kaboom!
It's goodbye to Angeletta, Piccolo.
Move aside!
Romeo, get out! Hurry up and get out!
Which way is it?!
This way!
We stopped.
It's the station house!
What are you doing there? - We're making a delivery.
Delivery? Let me see what's inside.
Hurry up!
Sure, sure... we'll show you.
Go on, dear. Show him the contents. - Right
Stop!
Not that one! Open up this one!
They're all the same! - Open it, I said!
Okay, okay...
Oh. It's just new chairs...
Have a look in here too, boss.
No, that's plenty! Just hurry up and carry it in.
Let's get this done FAST.
I can't believe this is going so well!
It came off so easy that I'm kind of disappointed.
Now, let's quickly get him out of here.
What are they up to out there?
Hey, bro! - It took you long enough.
I didn't think you were coming.
You see! We came, didn't we? - I'll open it up.
A jailbreak...!
There you are, bro!
That's good... but it won't take long for them to notice I'm gone.
We've got gunpowder!
Gunpowder?
We're going to blow the place up!
That way they won't know whether you're alive, dead, gone or what.
Oh no!
We've got to run, Piccolo! So this is gunpowder?!
Well, well! What a cute guest!
When did you sneak onboard, little boy?
How do you think it's going to affect Anzelmo?
With rumors going around town that he was the thief?!
What's it to us if Romeo goes to prison?
Yeah! What's it to me if he goes to prison?
It's not my concern if he gets sent to prison or...
Hey, Padrone!
What's wrong?
Oh! Uh, nothing, just passing by, doing my job...
Good, help us out. We're making a poster with Romeo's picture.
Cool your heels in here for a bit, kiddie.
Are you really going to blow this building up?
Tough luck, kiddie.
Wait!
Okay. That should do.
You'll have to get into this box, I'm afraid, bro.
And as soon as we're clear... kaboom! Ya see.
Yes, I get the picture.
It's a little cramped, but I'll have to make do for a while.
That's right.
Bye-bye, kiddie-boy!
Let's be going.
Oh my God!
Somebody! Come quick!
Somebody! Help!
Is anything the matter, Padrone? - No, nothing.
This hard work sure is getting harder as the years go by, eh?
It's going to blow! What should I do?
The window!
Escape! Quickly!
But if I don't tell them, the people in the police station will all...
I thought there was some good in you...
Oh, how mistaken I was! You're nothing but a sneak and a thief!
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.
I'm telling them.
And guess what happened next... - Let me go! Let me go!
Stop making such a fuss!
Please listen to what I have to say!
What is this all about? - R... Romeo!
Boss!
Listen! Run away, quickly!
Some crooks just planted gunpowder in the basement!
Gunpowder?
Get out, quickly, before it explodes!
Ridiculous! You lying ruffian!
It's true! Run! Quickly! - Come on!
Come on! Get out!
Run! Quickly! Run!
Run! Get out!
Where?! Where did they go?
Ah...! There!
Where's Romeo?
Move it, punk! Outta the way!
Where's Romeo!?
Hey! He's inside the police station!
Romeo...
Quick! Run away!
Everybody! Run away!
Boss, you too! Quickly!
Hurry up! Run!
Romeo!
Who did such a terrible thing? - Isn't it horrible?
Move! Get out of the road! - What's wrong with you?
Just what we needed! These people simply won't get out of our way!
We would be very appreciative if you could please help us pass through.
Of course. - That's them!
They're the saboteurs who planted the bomb!
You!
Heavens! We'd never do such a thing!
Just check the luggage and you'll know real quick.
Open the boxes!
We did it!
Romeo!
Are you all right, Padrone?
What happened to me?
There was an explosion. Romeo was telling the truth.
Romeo!
Romeo! Where are you?
Romeo!
Romeo! Wake up, Romeo! Romeo!
Thank goodness... He's still alive.
Call a doctor!
Come quick!
Romeo's been caught!
What was that?! - Are you serious?
He caused a terrible accident!
Apparently, he blew up a police station, or something!
It was Romeo?
They say he was arrested just now!
Arrested? Romeo was?
You shouldn't sympathize with him! He stole your money, after all!
Yes, he did. He's done wrong.
That's right!
Being arrested is his just deserts.
I've won!
I've finally won!
Romeo!
I owe you my life, Romeo!
And yet look at me!
Boss!
Romeo! - Thank goodness you're okay.
You, too.
Ow...! - I'm sorry!
Are you okay?
I'm fine! I'm ready to run up a chimney!
You jerk!
Thinking about work at a time like this!
Boss...?
What about everybody else? Is everyone okay?
Yes, they all made it fine. There were only a few injuries.
Great, thank goodness.
Piccolo! That tickles!
What, are those tears?
You're not such a bad fellow after all.
Spare me! What a sideshow!
Hey, wait a minute!
How is he, our little savior?
He just opened his eyes.
This is Police Chief Moretti.
Yes.
Romeo, let's go somewhere quiet. I'd like to hear your story.
Romeo, this does not mean your slate is clean.
In fact, as things stand, I'm under obligation to arrest you after this.
But... one thing baffles me.
You were already scot-free. Why come back to the police station?
I did nothing wrong. So I have no intention of running away again!
Even if we throw you into a jail cell?
Yes. I'll be here no matter what's coming.
Then we've no choice.
Please wait! I guess it's my turn to speak now.
Dear! How did Romeo's interrogation go?
We came to testify!
What's with that sour face?
Captain! Well, well!
I feel like a weight has been lifted off my chest,
...now that that good-for-nothing has been arrested!
Well, Captain? He didn't admit to the theft, did he?!
Because that boy is an incorrigible liar, you know.
The second he opens his mouth, devil watch out!
If you take him seriously, why, you're bound to...
Oh?
Extract a confession out of Romeo... - That's enough!
Romeo is not the culprit.
DEAR!!
This boy did it! Who else do you think did?!
I wonder who?
Anzelmo...
What are you saying I did!?...
It was Romeo! He did it, not me!
Yes, that's right! Romeo's the liar!
Romeo hasn't told a single lie. I'll stand by Romeo's word.
I will, too.
I've already told them everything.
Wh... What the heck do you know, Dad?!
Anzelmo! Would you dare say that to your sister?
What're you doing!? - Shut up!
Now apologize to Romeo!
If what they just said is the truth, I'm right about to punch you out!
You know that Angeletta is probably worried sick, don't you?
Anzelmo...
Well? What do we do with him? Shall we bring him up on theft?
No, it's a family matter. I'll take responsibility for his punishment at home.
Mom!
I've never been so embarrassed in my entire life!
Just wait and see! Because I'm not going to let this go just like that!
I apologize for all the trouble.
Good luck, Romeo. - Thank you.
Hey, Romeo!
Dante!
Look at that bandage! What a melodramatic guy you are!
Heh... yeah, that's true... - Romeo.
Yes?
I promise from now on not to make things hard for you.
You're free from today on. - Free?
Yes. Free to see Angeletta, and be a good friend to her!
She's been waiting for you, Romeo.
Waiting for me?
Thank goodness, eh, Romeo?
Of course it's all thanks to me, Dante, the Great Detective...
Thank you, boss!
Hey! Aren't you hurt...?
I'm free!
I've been set free!
I can come back... to you...!
Angeletta.
Romeo...!
That day, Rossi removed the bars from Romeo's room.
Romeo had finally become truly free.
I'm going to see my best friend.
After so long, I'll finally be able to see you again, Alfredo!
While searching for my best friend Alfredo, I became lost in the alleyways.
There I ran into other young chimney sweeps.
What? You're acquainted with Alfredo?
See you then!
