[LILLIAN]

♪ Nowhere to turn ♪

♪ Nowhere to hide... ♪

I know Lillian's really gone

now, and that's the truth.

You're right, she is.

But she can live on forever

all because of you.

You bought this piece of her

back to life through the song.

However, I'll make this

one promise to you, okay?

I will protect this final song

by using the power of science.

I swear on my life.

[LILLIAN]

♪ ...keep moving on ♪

♪ so there's no looking back ♪

♪ A deep breath... ♪

To bring more of Tsukasa's

troops over to our side,

I'll need this record,

which means I've gotta protect

the thing with my life.

Sounds like you'd give your

life to preserve the song.

[chuckles]

So I'd say we're on

the same team.

[LILLIAN]

♪ ...tomorrow ♪

♪ Just taking one... ♪

That works for me!

You and I have a deal!

Whatever you're plannin' to do

next, consider me on board!

[TAIJU yells]

[YUZURIHA]

Thanks so much, Nikki!

[TAIJU]

We did it!

It took a year, but we've

finally got ourselves

a real ally in the

Tsukasa empire!

[BOTH groan]

Senku, Gen! Pay attention!

Your scheme to convert

the Tsukasa army

with the diva's sweet

voice isn't bad,

but there's one big flaw.

I've graded your Lilian

impersonation, which is crucial.

Fifty-five!

Wow! That's pretty harsh, ma'am!

Gotta take the input of

a super-fan seriously.

Leave it to me, though.

Once I help you brush up, no

one'll tell the difference.

[SENKU] All right then,

sounds like a plan to me!

[GEN] Oh, man, this

is gonna be utal-bray!

Don't forget I'm

on your side now,

so I'll take good care of you.

We're not in the clear, though.

There's one major obstacle.

I'm sure you guys know

how strong Tsukasa is,

but he's not our only worry.

He's surrounded himself with

some really powerful people.

It must be a part of his

grandiose vision for the world.

Because he's gathered lots

of very capable folks

from all over.

I mean, they don't all

worship at his feet

or anything like that,

but once they get a taste

of his power and charisma,

they'll pretty much do

whatever he asks of them

without question.

Inside his inner circle,

there are clearly two

guys at the very top.

I guess you could call them

his "right and left arms,"

but in any case, he considers

them his most capable allies.

You've already had a

run-in with one of them.

That's Hyoga.

[NIKKI] Yeah. But our problem's

gonna be the other guy.

The greatest obstacle to our

plan is definitely... Ukyo.

Ukyo, huh?

The bow and arrow guy.

Yeah.

If we just play that same

record over and over again,

well, let's just say it won't

exactly be music to his ears.

Even if we play it over the

phone, we're not gonna fool him.

He'll notice something's up.

Right, okay then.

So if we play it a bunch,

we're in trouble.

[gasps]

Then we'll just have to not play

it a bunch of times, huh?

[YUZURIHA, NIKKI gasp]

Taiju! Look at you,

using your brain!

Nice job! Way to go!

Yeah, he's got a point.

Instead of trying to fool

them one by one,

maybe we should

do it as a group!

When Ukyo's not around.

Who's Ukyo?

He's a former sonar

operator on a submarine.

He's got azy-cray good hearing.

Which is why Tsukasa

woke him up.

Matter of fact, he had Chrome

and Magma pinned down

when I came back.

I really hope they

made it out safely.

Chrome. I'll see to it that

your death was not in vain.

Shut up, man! I'm not dead yet!

The guy didn't land a

single damn hit on me!

[MAGMA laughs]

Wow, you're still alive, huh?

You went so pale and stiff,

I was sure you'd croaked.

No, I just got kinda

freaked out and shut down.

Because my ally used

me as a meat shield!

But thanks to you,

I know exactly where he is.

That punk Ukyo's gonna pay!

[MAGMA yells]

Get back here, you big dummy!

[CHROME] The arrows are

coming from all directions.

He's been moving around so we

can't pinpoint his location.

The guy used our smoke

screen to his advantage.

Ukyo's bad for sure.

Big, loud, and stupid

Magma's no match for him!

[MAGMA]

Huh?

[gasps]

Okay. There you are!

[CHROME]

Think scientifically.

If he can sh**t at me from

practically any direction,

that means he has a complete

spatial understanding

of where I am due to his

bad sense of hearing.

If that's the case, why did

he barely miss every sh*t?

It's not just because

we're so lucky.

Heh. It must be because you

don't want us dead, huh, Uyko?

You're not even

trying to k*ll us.

You're trying to catch

and interrogate us.

[CHROME]

So that means...

[CHROME]

...if I wanna make sure

that we all get

outta here alive,

then this is what I gotta do!

Aw, damn it, Chrome.

Where the hell are you?

Uh.

[CHROME whistling]

[MAGMA growling]

[MAGMA]

You stupid bastard!

[UKYO chuckles]

You know what? Forget the rope.

What're you doing?

We both know that you're

not gonna run away.

I mean, you did raise

the white flag, after all.

You were trying to

save your friends

with that maneuver, weren't you?

The big brute and the

one who took off?

After all of that smoke cleared,

I would've had no choice

but to sh**t the meathead.

[UKYO]

Yep, I was right.

He's not out for blood.

He wants information.

[UKYO] Pretty impressive

decision-making

in the heat of the moment.

You should consider it a win.

[CHROME]

Uh. Yeah, you don't say?

[CHROME]

No! No, no, no, no.

He's trying to flatter

me so I'll talk!

Bad! I am not fallin'

for that crap!

[CHROME whistling]

[UKYO]

Okay, we're here.

I know who you are

Yeah. No introduction needed.

'Cause I could tell right away.

You've got a different aura.

So, we finally meet in person.

I've heard a lot

about you. Tsukasa!

Ha. I like your spirit, man.

You're one of Senku's

new friends, aren't you?

Oh, yeah! You're

damn right I am!

My name's Chrome. I'm a

scientist from Ishigami Village!

Someone's here.

[KINRO gasps]

Oh, no!

You mean Chrome really got

caught by the Tsukasa empire?

Well, what's the plan now, twig?

[yells]

[RURI]

Kohaku!

She can't rescue

him all by herself!

Always ready to fly into action.

Stop Kohaku!

How would we do that?

She's the fastest one

in the whole village!

Nobody's gonna catch her!

[SENKU] Get back here!

Right now, lioness!

I'm not a lioness!

[OTHERS]

Whoa! She stopped!

Father, let me go!

[KOKUYO]

Don't be a fool!

You think you can charge into

enemy territory all by yourself?

[KOHAKU]

Ugh! I gotta do something!

We can't abandon Chome;

he's one of us!

[chuckles]

[SENKU]

If she can't do it on her own,

then how about all

of us go together?

[ALL gasp]

We all go?

The kingdom of science

is mobilizing our army.

Now that Homura the scout

has been taken care of,

there's no reason for us

to wait any longer.

So let's move out and set up

camp near the Tsukasa empire.

From there, we'll

have a better sh*t

at bringing Chrome

back in one piece.

[ALL chattering]

This is so scary.

I don't wanna go near the

Tsuskasa empire, you guys!

Hey, how about we just hold our

ground here and wait instead?

That's not a bad strategy, huh?

Winter will be over

in a couple of weeks.

If we just sit here and wait,

they'll march on over

and wipe us out.

She's right. Offense is our best

defense in this situation.

I know! I thought

the same thing, too!

Oh, really, Ginro?

Are you planning to bring all

the science gear with us, Senku?

Odds are ten billion

to one without it.

We'll need everything we've got

if we wanna get Chrome back

and then go on to

defeat Tsukasa.

But all this stuff's so heavy.

If we can't carry it

there, what then?

[chuckles]

Not gonna be an issue.

[GEN]

Huh?

There's no way!

[chuckles]

We're gonna make a car!

[GEN]

Here we go! Eriously-say?

[SENKU]

Heh. Get excited, everyone!

[GEN] Yeah, I mean,

of course I'm excited,

but I'm amazed how you

can still manage to have

this kind of fun given

the circumstances.

[KASEKI]

Woo-hoo!

Is that some kind of crazy

schematic? Or what?

[SUIKA] There are so many lines,

and circles, and triangles,

it's making my head spin!

[GEN] I don't think I've seen

you get this excited, Senku.

[SENKU laughs]

Well, I've never built

a full-size car,

but this is like a giant Mini

four-wheel drive model.

All right, we're

gonna go with this.

It's like, ten billion

times more primitive

than what I used to use

in my old model rockets,

but it'll work for what we need.

It'll run on a wobbler engine!

[OTHERS whimper]

Just gotta throw this

in some boiling water.

Honeycomb.

Yeah, the honeycomb saga.

We had to gather it in order to

make plastic for the cell phone.

[GEN] And got att*cked by a ton

of bess. It was the orst-way.

We looked like human

marshmallows after that,

and then we ended up not even

using it for the plastic,

so it felt even orse-way.

[SENKU chuckles]

[SENKU] It was just a byproduct

of gathering honey, anyway.

We didn't need it

because we ended up

with a simpler shape

for our cell phone.

But our parts this time around

are gonna be way more complex.

Your sacrifice wasn't in vain.

Boiling that honeycomb down

into a block gives us beeswax.

Uh. Like, a candle?

[SENKU] It's also what

you use to make crayons

and lipstick and stuff.

[GEN] Huh? And we're gonna

make an engine out of it?

[KASEKI]

Woo-hoo!

This spinny doohickey makes

the carving go nice and smooth!

[SENKU] It's a waterwheel lathe.

Basically, a rotating cutter.

We'll make our intricate

parts with this.

But the wax just seems so

fragile and brittle to me.

Will it really work?

Yeah, won't be a

millimeter of trouble.

We'll use plaster to form a mold

around the parts

we make from wax.

And then, pour melted

brass into the mold.

[GEN] Ah, so we aren't

actually using wax parts.

Should've been obvious.

Do we really have to tear down

the nice stove Senku

made for us?

I realize winter will be over

soon, but what's he need it for?

I don't have a clue.

Senku says he wants it

for something, though.

[KOHAKU]

He was so happy about it,

then he said something like,

"Science is all

about recycling!"

Whatever that means.

[RURI] Not sure, but I can

picture him saying it.

[SENKU] We're putting the

whole stove on the car.

Pretty simple, really.

Just heat up some water

and you've got steam.

[KASEKI]

Mh-hm. Mh-hm.

See, Kaseki.

We're gonna attach the

little part you just built

right there on the end.

The steam'll push it downward.

Works like a reverse pump.

[KASEKI]

Mh-hm! Mh-hm! Mh-hm! Mh-hm!

[SENKU] Put that reverse

pump onto a disc

and it'll push, turn, and pull.

That's the wobbler engine!

--[KASEKI yells]

--[SENKU chuckles]

You guys are having the time

of your lives over there,

aren't you?

Looks to me like

they totally forgot

that the whole point

of building this thing

was so we could move

everyone closer

to enemy territory

and rescue Chrome.

[chuckles] Don't worry about it,

'cause Tsukasa's guys

probably all think

Chrome's just a wimpy villager.

I'm sure they're taking good

care of him as a hostage.

As long as he keeps his

mouth shut, he'll be fine.

[KOHAKU]

But it's Chrome.

"As long as he keeps his

mouth shut, he'll be fine"?

But it's Chrome.

She said it twice.

Hm?

[SENKU]

Let's pick up the pace.

[KASEKI chuckles nervously]

[KASEKI]

We've got a lotta work to do.

[MEN chattering]

[MAN A]

What's up? What's goin' on?

[MAN B]

The top three guys are in there.

Ukyo. Hyoga. And Tsukasa.

[MAN A] Who's the dude

with the headband?

So why did you make the decision

to tell me that

you're a scientist?

Senku must've explained

the situation,

so I'm sure that you know

that was quite a risky move.

You bet I do!

And I know that you're

a science-hating jerk.

Sounds like you need to be

taught a lesson to me.

And I... can teach you

how cool science is!

I hope you're ready!

'Cause first... we've

got rainbow flames!

[CHROME]

Crap, I messed up. Like bad.

I should've pitched ramen

or cotton candy first.

[HYOGA] Would you like

to tell us what really

brings a scientist

like you here?

Of course, if you don't,

you'll just end up dead.

[CHROME] I can't tell them I

came here to bring a cell phone.

This is it.

I'm really gonna die.

This is bad!

Now, Chrome, it's not

that I'm completely opposed

to a scientific civilization.

I mean, we have fire and

tools here, of course.

Those are excellent

ways to use science.

But you have no idea

how things were before.

The world I lived in was

tainted by powerful forces

who used weapons of science

for unspeakable crimes.

It's why we need restraint.

Our miraculous and beautiful

world was purified by someone--

for some reason--

and now Senku is trying

to tarnish it once again.

[HYOGA]

This is a golden opportunity.

The perfect time for you

to join us, Chrome.

[TSUKASA]

If you bring us Senku's head,

I promise you'll have

all the colored fire

and science tricks

to keep you happy.

Plus, my guarantee that all

the people in your village

will be safe.

[CHROME]

Hmm, well...

That sounds a hell of

a lot better than dying.

That is what you want

me to say, right?

Just drop me. Hurry it up.

[HYOGA]

So be it.

[TSUKASA]

Even in the face of death,

he never flinched

or lost conviction.

[yells]

[CHROME]

A bridge?

There's no point in

pushing him any further.

He won't turn, for neither

carrot nor stick.

[HYOGA] Then it seems

we'll just have to guess

as to why he's come here.

Ukyo, where did you

find him again?

[CHROME]

Oh, man.

Ukyo knows we were up to

something at the gravesite.

It won't take long for

them to go check it out

and find the cell phone.

Damn it, this is bad.

sh*t! We're screwed! sh*t!

He was at the miracle cave, just

scouting it out all by himself.

I'll bet he's after

the nitric acid.

[CHROME]

What's going on?

Not that I don't wanna live,

but why would he lie

to Hyoga and Tsukasa?

Man. I've got a bad feeling

about this Ukyo guy.

Is he trying to start a

revolution or something?

Like, take over

the Tsukasa empire?

[ALL gasping]

It's just a big model kit.

All we gotta do to assemble

it is weld it together.

Ho-oh!

Whoa. What is this thing?

[GINRO]

Whoa!

Yay! Now all of us can

go and rescue Chrome!

It's like we built a living

creature. It's incredible!

[laughs] "A living

creature," huh?

She's never seen an object

that moves on its own.

It makes sense to me.

[GEN]

It's finally here!

We're in... the

Industrial Revolution!

The kingdom of science railway

line is up and running.

Now full steam ahead.

[SENKU]

Straight to the Tsukasa empire.
