The fellow is trouble, all right. 06:11.330 --> 06:16.000 Which brings me to you, Kosame. I'm ordering you to be Appare's overseer. 06:16.000 --> 06:17.830 Huh?

Stop wasting your time with nonsense 08:42.620 --> 08:44.660 and help out with the household business! 08:44.660 --> 08:47.450 Just because you're the second son, I won't have you messing around! 08:47.450 --> 08:51.330 I'm busy right now. I have other things to do. 08:51.330 --> 08:54.080 If you aren't going to work, then get out! 08:57.040 --> 09:00.830 The thing is, he opened the jail door on his own and walked away. 09:00.830 --> 09:05.120 Escaping from jail is a serious offense. Gather some men! 09:05.120 --> 09:08.830 We'll catch him, and make sure he can't ever pull his foolishness again! 09:08.830 --> 09:10.040 --Yes, sir! --Yes, sir! 09:17.410 --> 09:18.290 Damn it! 09:18.290 --> 09:20.370 He's such a handful! 09:24.080 --> 09:25.330 "Measure of Last Resort" 09:25.330 --> 09:26.660 "Measure of Last Resort" All right... 09:26.660 --> 09:28.870 "Measure of Last Resort" What do you need your katana for? 09:28.870 --> 09:31.750 "Measure of Last Resort" To catch a criminal. 09:31.750 --> 09:33.370 "Measure of Last Resort" Is everything okay? 09:33.370 --> 09:36.790 Yeah.

You can build something like this by yourself? 14:17.040 --> 14:22.620 Yeah. Ever since we got the new government, it's been easier to get foreign books and parts. 14:22.620 --> 14:26.160 They have just about anything if you go to the shipyard in Nagasaki. 14:26.160 --> 14:31.580 That's fine and all, but does it work? It's pretty small for a steamship. 14:31.580 --> 14:35.200 Yeah. That's what's new about this engine. 14:35.200 --> 14:37.500 It has the same horsepower, but shrunk down. 14:37.500 --> 14:41.250 Once it's finished, it's possible it could be the fastest ship in the world. 14:41.250 --> 14:43.330 In the world?! 14:44.330 --> 14:48.790 You're such a dreamer! Your brother was worried about you, too. 14:48.790 --> 14:51.750 You should do some honest work, and put your parents' minds at ease-- 14:51.750 --> 14:52.830 You're the same. 14:52.830 --> 14:54.120 Huh? 14:54.120 --> 14:58.040 I thought you might be a little different, but sure enough, 14:58.040 --> 15:00.580 you're just like my old man and my brother. 15:00.580 --> 15:02.290 How so? 15:02.290 --> 15:04.910 Just go away. I'm leaving. 15:04.910 --> 15:06.160 Leaving? 15:10.370 --> 15:11.660 There. 15:14.330 --> 15:16.540 Hmm? H-Hey... 15:16.540 --> 15:19.160 Think about this.

Take care of yourself. 15:56.290 --> 15:58.290 Here. 15:58.290 --> 16:00.750 Good luck charms are just superstition. 16:00.750 --> 16:02.910 That's okay. 16:02.910 --> 16:09.040 Please? Consider it a gesture to reassure me, and take it. 16:12.290 --> 16:13.660 Off I go. 16:23.200 --> 16:27.910 Hey, hello, everyone! Thanks for coming! I just now spotted Appare. 16:27.910 --> 16:30.160 You know, he's not really all that bad, 16:30.160 --> 16:32.330 and I can convince him to turn himself in, 16:32.330 --> 16:36.500 so can I ask you all to wait here? There's no need for anything rough-- 16:36.500 --> 16:37.700 Hey... 16:37.700 --> 16:38.540 Huh? 16:38.540 --> 16:41.290 Ah! H-Hold on a minute! 16:42.660 --> 16:45.200 That's dangerous. Are you sure you wanna do that? 16:48.410 --> 16:51.450 All right. Suit yourself. 16:51.450 --> 16:53.120 Okay, let's go. 16:54.620 --> 16:57.160 Mm-hmm, that sounds great. 16:57.160 --> 16:58.250 Hey! 16:58.250 --> 17:00.870 Stop this ship right now and head back! 17:00.870 --> 17:03.790 I'm going off on a journey. If you don't want to come, get off. 17:03.790 --> 17:05.040 A journey?! 17:05.040 --> 17:08.910 Nagasaki, Kobe, Yokohama... Then I'll cross the ocean and-- 17:08.910 --> 17:11.410 Are you kidding?! I'm going back! 17:11.410 --> 17:12.620 Oh, hey, let go! 17:12.620 --> 17:15.660 No, you let go! I'm going back! 17:21.500 --> 17:23.200 Oh, that's... 17:44.660 --> 17:47.540 It's hopeless. We have no food or water. 17:47.540 --> 17:49.000 I already told you that. 17:49.000 --> 17:53.040 If you were planning to go on a journey, why didn't you get anything ready? 17:53.040 --> 17:58.250 I brought everything I needed. Tools, tech manuals, gadgets for crafting... 17:58.250 --> 18:00.000 Food and water! 18:00.000 --> 18:03.200 I never planned to come this far out to sea. 18:05.080 --> 18:06.580 Can you repair it? 18:06.580 --> 18:10.200 I'm not fixing it, I'm just checking its condition. 18:10.200 --> 18:13.200 The emergency acceleration device was meant to be disposable, 18:13.200 --> 18:15.330 so it's impossible to repair it here. 18:15.330 --> 18:18.870 We're also out of fuel. And the rudder is busted. 18:18.870 --> 18:22.370 Is there any way we can survive this? 18:22.370 --> 18:25.290 Taking into account the position of the stars and our departure location, 18:25.290 --> 18:27.500 as well as the direction we took off in, 18:27.500 --> 18:30.540 land is most likely in the direction of the Serpent's watch. 18:30.540 --> 18:33.410 The ship ran all-out for half a watch. 18:33.410 --> 18:36.700 Calculating our inertia and direction the ocean currents have since taken us in, 18:36.700 --> 18:39.700 as well as how fast we're being carried, 18:39.700 --> 18:40.540 I would estimate the distance to shore is between 22 and 25 ri. 18:40.540 --> 18:43.290 "22 ri ~ 25 ri" I would estimate the distance to shore is between 22 and 25 ri. 18:43.290 --> 18:44.000 I would estimate the distance to shore is between 22 and 25 ri. 18:44.000 --> 18:45.160 Can you swim? 18:45.160 --> 18:46.910 There's no way I can swim that. 18:46.910 --> 18:49.830 Same here. Can I get back to work? 18:49.830 --> 18:51.120 Go ahead. 18:54.120 --> 19:00.160 What's with you? We could be dead tomorrow. 19:00.160 --> 19:03.120 How can you be so fixated on that machinery? 19:05.540 --> 19:07.790 The world is connected. 19:07.790 --> 19:08.790 Huh? 19:10.540 --> 19:14.870 When I was four, I saw my first steamships. 19:14.870 --> 19:20.040 I more or less knew that the ocean was a vastly expansive body of water, 19:20.040 --> 19:25.370 but there these huge ships I'd never seen before that came across it. 19:25.370 --> 19:27.120 Do you get it? 19:27.120 --> 19:31.370 The ocean that I thought was just water connected us... 19:31.370 --> 19:33.450 ...to a world I'd never even seen. 19:37.660 --> 19:40.870 The ocean connects to unknown lands. 19:40.870 --> 19:45.910 The sky connects to the moon. The moon connects to the stars. 19:45.910 --> 19:49.200 This is a story, right? A work of fiction. 19:49.200 --> 19:51.830 But there is someone out in the world who thought, 19:51.830 --> 19:56.370 "What if we could go to the moon?" Incredible, isn't it? 19:57.250 --> 20:03.540 How far can I go? Across the sea? Beyond the sky? 20:04.370 --> 20:07.830 Or even the other side of the moon? 20:10.290 --> 20:12.870 The ocean floor, at best. 20:18.700 --> 20:22.040 If anyone's ever going to reach the other side of the moon... 20:22.040 --> 20:25.080 ...I'm gonna be the one who gets there first! 20:25.080 --> 20:27.870 This ship is only the first step. 20:28.910 --> 20:33.290 Your first step is likely to be your last step. 20:56.120 --> 21:01.250 Fumi... live a happy life for the both of us... 21:12.160 --> 21:17.620 So the ferry that takes us across the Sanzu River... is a steamship? 21:17.620 --> 21:18.620 Huh? 21:37.620 --> 21:39.580 Its basic construction is... 21:45.000 --> 21:47.160 Hey, you get working, too! 22:12.620 --> 22:16.950 So this is America! Los Angeles! 22:16.950 --> 22:19.330 Oh my God! 23:46.750 --> 23:47.370 "Next time" 23:47.370 --> 23:49.950 "Episode 2" "In the Dark"
