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

The day of the banquet had finally arrived.
Romeo had a close call rescuing Alfredo from the Wolf Pack.
Giovanni, moved by Romeo and Alfredo's friendship,
...agreed to join with the Black Brothers for one night only.
Episode 28:
Lord Alfredo
The King! The King is here!
Alfredo will almost certainly come here.
We heard it from the boy Michaelo, so there's no doubt about it.
Find him no matter what.
And when you find him...
...kill him.
Ah! That's my cue.
Open up! - Open up!
What do you want?
The grocer sent us with these.
He said there weren't enough nuts for tonight.
Please hurry!
Lorenzo? He didn't tell me about this...
Wait. I'll check on it.
There's no time for that!
What'll happen if the King runs out of nuts at dinner?
Hey! Stop! Don't run in here!
Look what you did!
Wait... don't make such a fuss.
Boy, is the cook gonna be mad at you.
That's Lomberto.
Lomberto?
He's one of Mauricio's bodyguards.
Then that means they're looking for us.
What now, big brother?
We've got to do it.
For our own sake, and for Romeo and the others.
Yes. - That's right.
We're all done over here.
Let's hurry up and get it done over there.
Don't move if you know what's good for you.
OK, let's go!
Let's sneak in through that tower.
I'll have a look. You stay here.
Be careful, big brother.
Found you.
Say your prayers.
Sleep tight.
Giovanni!
Hey, Alfredo.
Giovanni... what are you doing here?
Alfredo.
Romeo!
The Wolf Pack!
We hooked up with the Wolf Pack.
We're fighting together.
With the Wolf Pack?
Yes.
Let's let bygones be bygones for tonight.
Alfredo, the Wolf Pack will do everything it can to protect you.
What happened to you, Giovanni?
I didn't want anyone else to bring you down before I had the chance.
I'm the one who's going to defeat you.
Alfredo, let's get moving. If we wait much longer it'll be too late.
Over here. Follow me.
The royal crypt is under here.
We should be able to get into the house through it.
How'd you find that out?
Let's just say I've got a few acquaintances...
...who know more than they probably should.
Someone's coming.
There they are. - Over there.
Get 'em!
I haven't felt my adrenaline pumping like this in ages.
Protect Alfredo!
Those cocky brats...
...are in for it. - Wait, let ME go.
I want to pay them back for what they did to me...
...with interest!
Miss Bianca, are you okay?
I'm more than okay! I'm perfectly fine!
Shh. They're coming closer.
Do it!
Pull!
Way to go! One-to-nothing!
Those damn kids. Get 'em!
Take that.
Damn it!
Why, you...!
Big brother!
You're pretty good, Romeo.
You're not so bad yourself.
It's not over yet.
There's one more left, and he doesn't look happy.
Get going, Alfredo. I'll take care of things here.
Romeo, go with them and protect them.
Yeah. We're counting on you, Romeo.
And take this with you.
It may come in handy.
But...
Don't worry about us. We're here to protect Alfredo.
Alfredo... to the King!
To the King!
Thanks, everybody.
Nikita, show them the way.
Gotcha. Alfredo, this way.
Come on!
You okay, Bianca?
Yes... I'm sorry.
Hurry up, Alfredo. No time for dilly-dallying.
This way.
This staircase should lead up to the tower.
You kids have guts.
Give up now, or I'm through playing games.
I'm shakin'! Come on, I'm ready for you.
I won't let you lay a finger on Alfredo!
We'll see about that.
Try this on for size!
You did it!
You're one in a million, Giovanni.
You said it.
You there!
What are you doing in here?
I draw the line at fighting real soldiers.
Fall back!
Make it count, Alfredo.
I wonder if I said something I shouldn't have...
What should I do?
Aren't you Michaelo?
Madam Isabella!
I thought so... Romeo's friend.
Are you going to the banquet?
Yes. Angeletta stayed behind in Paris.
So, how are my heroes, Alfredo and Romeo?
Please listen to me, Madame Isabella. They're...
What? Alfredo is in the mansion?
I can't believe it. - Believe it.
You're worthless! I'll go myself.
Alfredo... I should never have left him alive the night of the fire.
We're almost there, Alfredo.
That bridge should lead us into the main building.
It's no good. We can't cross.
This iron gate only opens from the other side!
We found them! - We found them!
They're up there!
In the tower!
They're coming. What do we do now, Alfredo?
Big brother.
There must be some way...
All right, let's give it a shot.
What're you going to do, Romeo?
Watch.
Okay... Done.
Romeo, you're not going to...
Oh, yes, I am! We've got to risk it.
Be careful, Romeo.
This time for sure.
All right, pull the rope.
Hold it TIGHT.
You okay, Romeo?
Fine...
Pull harder!
Hang on, Romeo!
You're almost there!
Why, those wily little... - The kids are up there!
Fire!
They're trying to assassinate the King!
Assassinate the King?
Holy...!
Don't let go.
Oh no! Romeo!
Don't move! Move and I'll shoot.
Romeo, hurry!
Over here.
Quickly! - Hurry.
That's it.
Hurry up!
Keep going, and fast!
Nikita! - Go! Do you hear me?
Thanks.
There!
Hey! Open this door! How dare you!
How do you like them apples?
Stop, you!
Alfredo, we're almost there.
Bianca, are you al...
Romeo! Bianca's gone!
What!?
Bianca! - Bianca!
That's Bianca's.
Mauricio.
Let her go!
Or else I'll...
Shoot? Go ahead, if you dare.
Throw down your gun, Alfredo.
I'll put an end to your suffering tonight.
Whoa, there!
You don't want me to cut up your lovely little sister's face...
...do you, Alfredo?
You too, punk! Keep still!
Now get ready to rejoin your mother and father in Heaven.
Big brother!
Alfredo!
Tough luck.
Alfredo. - Don't move!
Mauricio, if you kill me now you won't get the Martini medal.
I don't need the medal anymore.
So long, Alfredo.
Alfredo!
Big brother! - Romeo!
Big brother! - Bianca, let's go.
Did only one die...? Or did both?
Either way... no one will interfere with us anymore.
Mustn't keep the King waiting.
Uh...
What is it? - It's time to meet the King.
Very well.
You'll find Alfredo down there.
Just to be on the safe side, finish him off.
And... oh, yes...
...capture Bianca and take the medal from her.
Yes, sir.
Big brother!
Romeo!
Big brother! - Romeo!
Snap out of it! You know those two can't be dead.
Let's look for them.
We're right here.
Big brother, Romeo! Thank goodness.
You had us worried.
Sorry.
Let's hurry, Alfredo.
Damn!
Archbishop Federico Pomelo of Milano!
They're going to come here for sure. Don't let them get away.
Right.
The King! The King is in...
Big brother!
What an awful thing to do!
Those kids...
Who are they? - Where do they think they are?
Let them go!
Shut up! - That's enough!
It's Countess Monteverni!
Unhand that boy.
That is Viscount Martini's son Alfredo...
And his daughter, Bianca...
Nobles, on whom you have absolutely no right to lay a hand!
Hmph. Stop that! - How rude!
How dare he do that to the Countess?
Take this rude person and throw him out of the mansion.
Yes, ma'am.
Come along.
Move it!
Let go!
What should we do with these boys?
Those children are the dearest of friends.
Friends of the Countess?
Madam Isabella.
Thank you very much.
It's been a while, Romeo.
Michaelo explained everything to me.
I'll do everything I can to help you.
I owe you both a great debt, after all.
Now let's go quickly to the King.
Very well. - Alfredo...
It's time. Do it right.
Thanks, Romeo. Here I go...
Let's go.
Yes.
Alfredo.
We are most honored to meet Your Majesty.
Your glorious Majesty.
Martini, my father has told about that medal he gave you...
It is our family treasure, Your Majesty.
It is a source of great pride in our family.
That medal is a fake!
The real medal is right here.
Alfredo goes before the King, with the truth in his heart.
But Mauricio tries to trap Alfredo with a vicious lie.
Do your best, Alfredo. We'll stand by you!
See you then!
Forever Alfredo
