WEBVTT 00:10.370 --> 00:12.080 "I'm not about to lose my head for anything," 00:12.080 --> 00:13.830 was the thought that sealed my fate! 00:13.830 --> 00:15.500 Hey, you're being too self-centered, Appare! 00:15.500 --> 00:17.200 I got dragged along with the departing Appare, 00:17.200 --> 00:19.370 and before I knew it, it was the Pacific Ocean! 00:19.370 --> 00:22.790 We got taken aboard by another ship and rescued, but this is America! 00:22.790 --> 00:24.950 Los Angeles?! 02:04.290 --> 02:09.200 "Episode 2" "In the Dark" 02:17.450 --> 02:20.120 Wow, this is something else. 02:20.120 --> 02:23.000 Good. No problem with the engine. 02:23.000 --> 02:28.500 Can you repair the ship, Appare?! When will we be able to get back to Japan?! 02:28.500 --> 02:29.370 Not a chance. 02:29.370 --> 02:30.620 Huh? Why not? 02:30.620 --> 02:31.950 I'm not repairing the ship. 02:31.950 --> 02:32.830 Why not?! 02:32.830 --> 02:34.410 Because it's an experimental ship. 02:34.410 --> 02:35.790 So what if it is?! 02:35.790 --> 02:37.120 You ask a lot of questions. 02:37.120 --> 02:40.660 You don't explain a lot! Help me to understand! 02:40.660 --> 02:42.580 I've accomplished the point of the experiment, 02:42.580 --> 02:44.870 so fixing it up the way it was would be pointless. 02:44.870 --> 02:49.000 Besides, it's impossible to cross the Pacific with the range this ship has. 02:49.000 --> 02:51.250 Then you could always improve it, couldn't you? 02:51.250 --> 02:54.200 There are any number of rudimentary steamships around 02:54.200 --> 02:55.700 good enough to cross the Pacific. 02:55.700 --> 02:58.620 When you say "rudimentary," are you talking about our ship? 02:58.620 --> 03:00.330 --That's right. --He is not! 03:00.330 --> 03:03.950 Hey, don't be so rude! It's thanks to the captain here 03:03.950 --> 03:06.580 that we're being allowed to stay here for a little while! 03:07.580 --> 03:09.290 Don't worry about it. 03:09.290 --> 03:11.410 We haven't used this storehouse in a while. 03:11.410 --> 03:14.000 You're free to use it until someone comes along wanting to rent it. 03:14.000 --> 03:15.370 In return, 03:15.370 --> 03:18.040 you don't mind if I keep this, do you? 03:18.040 --> 03:19.290 Suit yourself. 03:19.290 --> 03:23.500 While you're at it, I don't suppose you'd be open to taking us back to Japan...? 03:23.500 --> 03:26.950 Don't be an idiot. You think I'm going to take you out to sea for free? 03:26.950 --> 03:31.040 Ordinarily, I'd want the fare for your passage as it is. 03:31.040 --> 03:32.500 Isn't there anything I can do?! 03:32.500 --> 03:35.250 I can clean, or cook, or do whatever you like! 03:35.250 --> 03:37.700 I already have professional cooks and cleaners. 03:37.700 --> 03:40.910 He might be one thing, but what else can you do? 03:40.910 --> 03:41.750 Huh? 03:41.750 --> 03:45.000 Besides, it's not like I can hire a crewman who's gonna jump ship 03:45.000 --> 03:47.790 when we get to his destination. 03:47.790 --> 03:49.160 In any case, 03:49.160 --> 03:52.040 we're about to head through the Panama Canal to the Atlantic. 03:52.040 --> 03:54.450 We won't be going to Japan for a while. 03:54.450 --> 03:56.160 I see... 03:56.160 --> 04:00.080 First thing you should do is find a job. If you don't work, you shan't eat. 04:00.080 --> 04:02.080 And if you work like mad for ten years, 04:02.080 --> 04:05.370 you might be able to charter a ship back to your own country. 04:10.950 --> 04:14.040 This is the other side of the ocean... 04:15.450 --> 04:18.250 The country that made the steamships. 04:20.290 --> 04:22.700 Can't you see your way somehow? I'll do anything! 04:22.700 --> 04:24.450 We're a service industry. 04:24.450 --> 04:27.620 We can't very well hire someone from only God knows where! 04:27.620 --> 04:29.700 What do you mean, only God knows where? 04:29.700 --> 04:33.000 I was born and raised in Shibaura, Fuyutsuki! 04:33.000 --> 04:35.500 My family name is Isshiki, and my given name is Kosame-- 04:35.500 --> 04:37.450 There are steam-powered cars all over the place. 04:37.450 --> 04:39.700 --Damn it! Appare, you should work, too! --I'd sure like to take one apart. 04:39.700 --> 04:42.040 --Damn it! Appare, you should work, too! --I just have to put it together again, right? 04:42.040 --> 04:43.160 Huh? 04:43.910 --> 04:45.830 Hire you? 04:45.830 --> 04:47.040 Yeah. 04:47.040 --> 04:50.450 I just have a small shop. I have enough help. 04:50.450 --> 04:52.000 Then that's perfect. 04:52.000 --> 04:56.000 It's not like I want to work anyway. I welcome the free time. 04:56.000 --> 04:58.700 As long as you pay me a wage, there's no problem. 05:00.830 --> 05:01.870 Huh? 05:03.750 --> 05:06.830 How did you do? Find anything? 05:06.830 --> 05:11.450 No. They aren't hiring where I want to work, 05:11.450 --> 05:14.120 and I don't want to work where they are hiring. 05:14.120 --> 05:18.580 Huh? What do you mean? You have to look harder. 05:18.580 --> 05:21.830 There are three things you need in life-- 05:21.830 --> 05:24.120 your pride, what you're eating now, 05:24.120 --> 05:26.580 and the money to buy what you're eating tomorrow. 05:26.580 --> 05:28.700 This is not the Japan we're familiar with. 05:28.700 --> 05:31.250 No matter what we have in reserve, we can't rest easy. 05:31.250 --> 05:34.040 --Never mind that we're penniless-- --How about that? 05:43.410 --> 05:47.500 --Let him have it! --Hey switch with me! I'll get him! 05:47.500 --> 05:49.620 All right, I'm gonna lay him out! 06:00.040 --> 06:04.620 Isn't that enough, Appare? I didn't study swordsmanship for this-- 06:04.620 --> 06:06.290 I'm next. 06:07.580 --> 06:10.750 That's three minutes' worth. One round. 06:11.660 --> 06:13.830 I don't need the stick. 06:13.830 --> 06:16.950 I was a pro boxer back in the day. 06:16.950 --> 06:22.790 I see, a pugilist. I will reciprocate your pride with my own. 06:22.790 --> 06:25.620 I don't care. You can hit me back. 06:25.620 --> 06:28.080 If you want to stay alive, that is! 06:45.660 --> 06:47.330 Do you wish to continue? 06:50.120 --> 06:52.700 You're better than I thought, Kosame. 06:52.700 --> 06:56.200 Well, you know... I read my opponent's intent and move first. 06:56.200 --> 06:59.080 All of the skills in the Hangetsu Ittoryu School derive from-- 06:59.080 --> 07:00.750 You have to get hit once in a while, 07:00.750 --> 07:03.200 or people are going to stop paying, you know. 07:03.200 --> 07:04.790 Then you do it. 07:04.790 --> 07:06.950 No. That would hurt. 07:08.540 --> 07:12.620 Well, we should get something to eat now. All that exercise made me hungry. 07:24.450 --> 07:26.450 What kind of car is that? 07:35.160 --> 07:37.870 Ah, hey! Appare! 07:46.330 --> 07:49.040 It looks like it takes money to get inside. 07:51.580 --> 07:54.330 Ah, hey! We need that for-- 08:05.040 --> 08:06.660 What is this? 08:10.080 --> 08:11.870 Oh, I get it. 08:11.870 --> 08:15.870 They're racing to see which car is fastest. 08:15.870 --> 08:20.200 Amazing. The cars are the stars here. 08:20.200 --> 08:21.580 Welcome... 08:21.580 --> 08:26.620 ...to today's unveiling of the car that's the pride of Great Motors! 08:26.620 --> 08:28.910 The engine is 7200ccs, 08:28.910 --> 08:31.540 with a maximum output of about 200 horsepower! 08:31.540 --> 08:34.450 --Off the record, her top speed is... --Mr. Dylan, why are you in this race? 08:34.450 --> 08:36.910 If you win the grand prize, what will you use the money for? 08:36.910 --> 08:39.370 There are stories that you're competing with Iron Motors, 08:39.370 --> 08:40.580 and looking for Thousand Three... 08:40.580 --> 08:42.620 Allow me to introduce the ultimate driver, 08:42.620 --> 08:45.790 who will be driving our speed machine. 08:45.790 --> 08:47.790 Ask him your questions. 08:51.870 --> 08:54.200 Hey, Xialian, over here, too! 08:54.200 --> 08:55.700 Oh, okay. 08:55.700 --> 08:59.040 As a member of the Big Three automotive association, B.I.G.BOSS, 08:59.040 --> 09:02.620 who is sponsoring the Trans-America Wild Race, 09:02.620 --> 09:07.160 I proudly put up this machine! You are free to compete. 09:07.160 --> 09:09.330 If you think you have what it takes to beat this machine, 09:09.330 --> 09:11.870 you are free to make your challenge at any time! 09:11.870 --> 09:14.620 There is a total of 1.51 million dollars up for grabs! 09:14.620 --> 09:17.080 Let's cross the American wilderness together, 09:17.080 --> 09:21.120 and mark a new page in history! 09:21.120 --> 09:25.580 --Good grief, to drive at ridiculous speeds for no good reason, --And that is the American Dream! 09:25.580 --> 09:28.910 and across the continent, for that matter. Who does that appeal to...? 09:28.910 --> 09:30.290 I'm going to enter. 09:30.290 --> 09:31.290 Huh? 09:32.330 --> 09:35.790 I'm going to enter this race. 09:39.950 --> 09:43.700 It would be quickest to revamp the steam engine and use it, 09:43.700 --> 09:46.910 but their cars don't run on steam. 09:46.910 --> 09:50.750 Considering our cruising range and our total mileage... 09:50.750 --> 09:51.370 --This is no good. I need more thorough information. 09:51.370 --> 09:55.250 --I'm sure Father and Fumi are worried. --This is no good. I need more thorough information. 09:57.870 --> 10:01.250 When will I ever be able to get back to Japan? 10:02.790 --> 10:04.330 You want to go home that badly? 10:04.330 --> 10:07.040 Well of course I do! I have a family! 10:07.040 --> 10:11.040 And I can't keep my fiancée waiting forever, either. 10:11.040 --> 10:14.500 They probably think you're dead, and your engagement has been broken off. 10:14.500 --> 10:16.000 Huh?! 10:16.000 --> 10:17.120 Feel better now? 10:17.120 --> 10:21.160 Do I look like I feel better?! "Ah, good, they think I'm dead." 10:21.160 --> 10:25.160 Who thinks like that, really?! Aw, man! 10:25.160 --> 10:27.410 Kosame, you're a complex man. 10:29.160 --> 10:31.620 We can go back to Japan using the prize money. 10:32.790 --> 10:34.250 Huh? 10:34.250 --> 10:36.580 If we win, we get a million dollars. 10:36.580 --> 10:39.370 There's no way we can win. 10:39.370 --> 10:43.410 If you want to toil away for ten years, suit yourself. 10:46.080 --> 10:51.120 But I'm doing this. I will cross this continent faster than anybody. 10:53.290 --> 10:56.410 If you don't want to, I'll only need one seat in my car, right? 10:56.410 --> 11:00.250 Huh? No! N-No... 11:00.250 --> 11:02.200 No idea, kid. 11:02.200 --> 11:05.700 Have you seen him? A man with this tattoo on his neck? 11:05.700 --> 11:07.120 Get lost. 11:08.580 --> 11:10.910 Hey, don't touch me! 11:10.910 --> 11:12.660 Ah, hey! 11:12.660 --> 11:14.000 Are you okay, little boy? 11:14.000 --> 11:17.160 Where are we, at the zoo? 11:18.910 --> 11:21.250 Ah, little boy... 11:21.250 --> 11:23.200 I'm not a little boy. 11:23.200 --> 11:24.290 Huh? 11:26.660 --> 11:28.750 You're not him. 11:34.250 --> 11:35.620 What was that? 11:44.410 --> 11:47.830 Hold on, hold on, hold on! You said we were just going to look from outside! 11:47.830 --> 11:51.410 Yeah. Tonight, we're just going to look at the cars from the outside. 11:51.410 --> 11:53.660 What's the point of looking at them from outside the building? 11:53.660 --> 11:56.120 No, but we can't go in there without permission! 11:56.120 --> 11:58.750 Trespassing is the first step to burglary. 11:58.750 --> 12:02.120 If we're going to enter the race, we need to see the real thing for ourselves. 12:02.120 --> 12:04.160 You want to go back to Japan, don't you? 12:21.660 --> 12:24.950 It's dark in here. We need some kind of light. 12:24.950 --> 12:27.950 Ah! For the love of... 13:00.580 --> 13:03.950 In all this darkness? Incredible... 13:05.750 --> 13:07.200 Ah, Appare! 13:07.200 --> 13:08.620 Watch yourself! 13:20.580 --> 13:22.120 Are you okay?! 13:22.120 --> 13:23.290 Yeah. 13:31.250 --> 13:33.250 Oh, no... 13:37.330 --> 13:38.700 Are you hurt? 13:41.370 --> 13:42.790 Who are you?! 13:42.790 --> 13:44.620 Huh? You're a woman? 13:44.620 --> 13:46.450 What are you doing in here?! 13:46.450 --> 13:48.250 Oh, uh, well... 13:48.250 --> 13:50.700 We came to see the cars. Let me have a look. 13:50.700 --> 13:52.620 --Hey! --H-Hold on! 13:52.620 --> 13:55.120 We aren't criminals, or anything... 13:55.120 --> 13:56.330 A katana?! 13:57.950 --> 13:59.330 Stay away from me! 13:59.330 --> 14:02.790 It's because of you that my precious car... 14:02.790 --> 14:05.540 That was quite a kick, for a woman. 14:05.540 --> 14:08.200 So what if I am a woman? 14:08.200 --> 14:11.200 W-Wait! I don't want to fight you! 14:12.580 --> 14:14.160 Then get rid of your weapon! 14:14.160 --> 14:18.200 This isn't something I can just lay down. 14:18.200 --> 14:19.700 If you must hit me, then hit me! 14:24.040 --> 14:25.750 Ah, I knew it! 14:27.120 --> 14:30.410 Hey, this is a gasoline-powered car, right? 14:32.700 --> 14:35.080 What are you doing, Kosame? 14:42.250 --> 14:44.620 Ow! Ooh... 14:45.870 --> 14:48.790 --Total displacement is about 6200ccs... 14:48.790 --> 14:51.410 --So, you really just wanted to see the cars? --Total displacement is about 6200ccs... 14:51.410 --> 14:52.370 --So, you really just wanted to see the cars? --Estimated top speed is 95mph. Is that theoretical? 14:52.370 --> 14:57.330 --Yeah. My name is Isshiki Kosame. That's Sorano Appare. --Estimated top speed is 95mph. Is that theoretical? 14:57.330 --> 15:01.910 --I'm sorry we came in uninvited. I hope we can keep this amicable. --Propulsion mechanism is a driveshaft. 15:01.910 --> 15:04.750 --I'm in the same situation, so I have no room to talk. --Front and rear independent leaf suspension. 15:04.750 --> 15:05.250 --I'm in the same situation, so I have no room to talk. --The rear wheels use a light alloy. 15:05.250 --> 15:06.250 --Huh? --The rear wheels use a light alloy. 15:06.250 --> 15:07.750 --I'm just a chore girl, but I snuck in on my own to drive one of the cars. --The rear wheels use a light alloy. 15:07.750 --> 15:11.040 --I'm just a chore girl, but I snuck in on my own to drive one of the cars. --Not steel discs, but aluminum? 15:11.040 --> 15:12.790 You're a chore girl? 15:12.790 --> 15:13.870 Yeah. 15:22.160 --> 15:27.540 When I was a child, I looked up to the racers, and joined their team 15:27.540 --> 15:29.950 as a chore girl. 15:29.950 --> 15:33.620 However, the first thing I learned... 15:33.620 --> 15:36.160 Girls can't be racers. 15:37.580 --> 15:38.910 Yeah, that's for sure. 15:38.910 --> 15:42.200 There's no way a woman can drive a car. 15:42.200 --> 15:44.870 The passenger seat is the place for a lady. 15:44.870 --> 15:46.950 If a woman wants to drive a car, 15:46.950 --> 15:50.580 she should be in the circus, not on the circuit. 15:50.580 --> 15:51.830 Listen to me, Jing. 15:51.830 --> 15:55.200 Racing is a man's profession. Strength and daring! 15:55.200 --> 16:01.250 Cars don't run on gasoline; they run on a man's fiery spirit! 16:01.250 --> 16:04.660 The world has no female racers. 16:05.580 --> 16:08.580 Then, the reason you were driving that car... 16:08.580 --> 16:13.580 Was simply to blow off some steam. But that's all over now. 16:13.580 --> 16:17.330 I damaged the car.
