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

Around the time of the wedding of the Grand Duke of Milan,
...a girl stepped into Romeo's life.
That girl was none other than Alfredo's sister, Bianca.
Their Uncle Mauricio's and Aunt Grazela's schemes had engulfed them in tragedy.
Episode 25:
Alfredo and Bianca Reunited
I told you you'd never get away.
Stay away! Murderer!
Bianca!
You... You're the beast who killed my mother and father!
What a dreadful thing for someone with such a pretty face to...
Tough break, Bianca. Do you hate me that much?
Let me go!
- Be quiet!
That girl...
Help!
Big brother, help! Alfredo!
Alfredo!
Go!
Alfredo...? "Big brother"...??
Alfredo!
Nikita... - Someone just took a girl away.
She yelled out, "Help! Alfredo!" - It's Bianca.
Hey! What's going on?
Welcome back, Mr. Martini.
Is something the matter with Miss Bianca?
She was feeling a little ill. Nothing to worry about.
Bianca! - What's with you two?
My sister is inside.
Please let us in. - No way.
Romeo!
I'm all right. - What'd you do that for?!
This hotel has important people staying as guests.
This is no place for you. Now get going!
Wait, Romeo. - But... Alfredo!
Anyway, let's go.
Bianca, I promise I'll come to save you. Just wait.
You're one tough nut to crack.
A real wild kitty!
Hmph. So, ran away to meet beloved big brother, eh?
We already know he's in town... with our "treasure".
Alfredo would never hand it over to you two!
Shut up!
What a smart-aleck. I'll fix you so you can never show your face to Alfredo again.
Mauricio and Grazela want to get their hands on ME.
I'VE got what they want.
What they want?
It was entrusted to me by my father, before he died.
Alfredo! It's the Martini household's heirloom.
So long as you have that treasure, my pride and honor will be yours.
A medal. That's a medal, right?
A "medal"? - What's that?
It was given to my father by Carlo Alberto, King of Sardinia.
Carlo Alberto?
Who's that? - The father of the King of Italy.
The King's father?!
A real KING gave that medal to your father?
They'll need to get their hands on this medal before the banquet.
Why?
A banquet is being held next week for the Grand Prince's wedding....
Well, nobility and royalty from Italy and elsewhere has been invited...
...among them, Mauricio and Grazela.
But there's one thing they need if they're going to meet the King.
One thing?
This medal, to prove they're part of the Martini line.
Big brother, help me!
Hold on, Grazela...
Bianca's a valuable hostage. - I can't wait!
Without that medal, we'll look like fools in front of the King of Italy.
No doubt about that.
We're almost out of time! How are we going to get it?
We've managed to get everything else we wanted so far.
I'll get it, no matter what I have to do.
Alfredo will come here to rescue Bianca...
And he'll fall into our trap.
His love for his sister will prove his downfall.
I'll do whatever it takes to rescue Bianca.
I'm going to save Bianca.
I'm coming with you. - Romeo.
Me too. - Me too.
Me too.
- Us too, naturally!
And me too!
We'll do anything for you, Alfredo.
Just give the word. - Thank you.
But this is a personal matter.
And therefore I have to take care of it myself.
No way.
That's exactly what they're hoping you'll do.
If you mess up once, you'll lose your chance to save Bianca.
Those two are meaner than you all know.
I'm risking my own life as it is...
I can't drag you guys into it.
The Black Brothers help each other out.
If any one of us suffers, we all suffer. If one of us is happy, we're all happy.
We shall overcome all hardships by working together.
Let's be there for each other! - For each other!
Let's always be together! - Together!
Thanks, everybody.
But as I said before, they're not to be taken lightly.
Watch yourselves.
All right then, let's think up a plan!
Hello. I'm from the fruit shop.
I've got a delivery here for a Mr. Martini.
Fruit shop? I've never seen you before.
Which fruit shop?
Which... fruit shop...?
Well, um... It's a new one called "The Chimney".
The Chimney... - Hey!
Where are you going? - Uh-oh! Run!
Run! - You! Stop!
Operation 1, complete success.
Is that the room? - That's it.
Alfredo, we'll get Bianca out no matter what.
All right, time for Phase 2.
Trouble. There's somebody in there. - Now, of all times!
Come here a minute!
What's up?
A bunch of kids are making a ruckus in the lobby.
A bunch of kids? What's going on?
Hey you! Stop!
Anyhow, let's go see.
Great! They're doing it just as planned. - Hey!
What are you doing here? - Uh-oh!
Stop, you!
Heey!
We're over here! - You go after them.
I'll go after this one. - Got it!
Where'd you go...?
Ah, here we go.
Now... where'd you go...
I'm in home territory in here.
This ought to lead to Bianca's room.
I found you!
You're...
I never got the chance to introduce myself earlier. I'm Romeo, a friend of Alfredo.
A friend of Alfredo?
I'm here to rescue you. We've got to get out of here fast.
Where's Alfredo now?
He's waiting in San Babila church.
Dear God, please protect everyone.
And don't worry, he's got the medal with him.
The Martini household's medal? - Yes.
Did you hear that, Grazela? - Oh, yes.
It seems the boy is in San Babila church.
AND he has the medal with him. - My thanks, Romeo.
We're finally going to get our hands on that medal.
Now we'll have the Martini's stature.
Alfredo would never hand over that medal to Mauricio.
True. If he was alive.
What are you going to do to Alfredo?!
Mauricio is the fastest gun in Piedmont.
San Babila church. Hurry!
Who are they? - The Black Brothers. Alfredo's buddies.
Alfredo's buddies? - Yes.
Hi! I'm Dante.
Michaelo.
Antonio. You'll see Alfredo in no time.
Who are you!? - The Black Brothers!
That's priceless.
Makes you look prettier than that makeup does.
Lady, what're you saying?
Everyone hurry to the church. Alfredo's in danger.
They're late coming... I wonder why?
Maybe something went wrong.
I knew it would. I should have gone.
No. I know they'll come through and save her.
Not yet.
Not at such an important time. Snap out of it.
I'll be meeting Bianca soon.
I've finally found you, Alfredo.
Michaelo, take Bianca to the secret hideout.
You two come with me.
Right! - Wait. I want to come too.
No. It's too dangerous for you. - But...
We'll bring Alfredo back. Just wait.
Let's go!
I'm... going anyway!
Bianca!
Mauricio!
Long time, Alfredo.
You've been having a rough time of it, I hear.
Why, you murderer...! - Don't move!
You better not have hurt Bianca. - She's fine.
But she's been quite the troublemaker.
I'll get rid of that kitten and you as soon as I've got what I want.
You inhuman...!
Okay, enough games. Hand over the Martini medal!
Not on your life!
Where's the medal? Tell me, or else...
Alfredo, please be okay.
Huh? There's a festival today? - No, no...
They're waiting to see the royal procession.
Oh, so we can't pass. What now? - We'll have to take a detour.
Romeo! - Bianca!
Sorry. She just wouldn't listen. - Romeo, please let me come.
But... - Please.
All right. Let's rescue Alfredo together.
Where's the medal, Alfredo?
Damn!
The King's carriage will pass by here soon!
Hey! - What's your problem, Pop?!
Hey, Alfredo. - Nikita.
I saw what happened. What a nasty guy.
Let me get rid of him for you.
Boy, that kid was in a hurry, like he was running from somebody.
Kind of cute, though... Blonde, blue eyes... Age: 12 or 13.
Which way did he go?
That way. He's long gone now.
That's the King's father.
He's the one who gave the medal to my father.
He might understand...
...If I present myself to him wearing the Martini medal.
That's it! I'll tell the King the truth...
...about those responsible for the death of my mother and father.
...and who put the blame on Bianca and I.
I'll tell the King the truth.
Alfredo!
Romeo.
Thank goodness you're okay.
The plan was a complete success. Have a look.
Alfredo.
Bianca.
Alfredo. - Bianca.
Alfredo! - Bianca!
I missed you... I always thought about you, big brother.
So did I, Bianca. I'll never leave you alone again.
No matter what, I'll...
Big brother?
Protect you...
What is it, big brother?
Big brother?
Alfredo!
What's wrong? Alfredo!
Snap out of it, Alfredo!
Big brother!
Alfredo!
The day of the banquet was approaching.
Mauricio, eyeing the Martini fortune,
...had a fake medal made so that he could meet the King.
I won't let that scoundrel get away with it.
See you then!
