01x06 - Once Upon a Time in Hopeland

[bunniefuu]

Please spare me!

Punisher? Don't make me laugh.

Y-you're a monster.

The man responsible for
the recent Plant robberies

still hasn't been found.

Based on the damaged
red Plant being exported,

it's possible that the criminal
is unfamiliar with Plant...

You two having a spat?

The third city of July will keep
searching for a person of interest.

A man named Vash...

There are Sandsteamers
at the port ahead of us.

Take one if you want to go to July.

Are we leaving the car here?

We aren't going any farther.

We're returning to the office.

It's about time to publish our report.

But...

That's okay with you, isn't it?

Boarding procedures will soon end.

Passengers, please make sure
you have completed all procedures

before proceeding to the boarding gate.

Please inform the staff immediately

if you haven't completed the procedures.

This ship will leave on time.
Thank you for your cooperation.

-I thought you were good friends.-In addition...

As if...

That's awfully cold.

I can't accept it!

I figured as much.

How can we just let
the Humanoid Typhoon get away from us?

He's far too dangerous.

How can a normal human being
not change a bit in 20 years?

Are you afraid now?

Believe whatever you want. I'm not
risking my life for one dumb story.

Just don't risk your life then.

You really...

Thank you for boarding

our Sandsteamer Humpback.

This Sandsteamer is the
largest in No Man's Land.

Our power Plant is
among the best in this region.

and is guaranteed to grant
you a safe and speedy journey.

Our destination is the end of
the desert, the third city of July.

We hope you enjoy your journey with us.

What do you want, anyway?

Why do you keep following me?

I'm here to protect you.

Because you don't have the guts to get
your hands dirty with bad guys' blood.

You should be grateful to me.

You can't measure human life like that.

You still ain't over it?

-Let's have tea over there.
-Okay.

Don't you...

have anything that you'd die for?

Get a grip, will you?

The only reason
that you've survived this far,

is that someone d*ed in your stead.

That's not what I meant...

and you know it.

I don't know a damn thing.

You sound like a naive brat to me.

If you can't even clean up your own mess,

all your fancy words...

Run! Spiky Head!

Why?

Why are you here?

Livio...

EVERYONE!
SAY HELLO TO YOUR NEW FRIEND!

HIS NAME IS LIVIO.

MOM... DAD...

SO, THIS IS WHERE YOU WERE.

I'M NICHOLAS D. WOLFWOOD.

YOU FINALLY SMILED,
CRYBABY LIVIO.

YOU TWO!
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?

Stop! Livio!

You can't k*ll him!

Is this the place?

Don't move!

Drop your weapons!

What are you doing here?
Surrender or we'll sh**t!

Don't come any closer!

You too! Drop your weapons!

What are you doing here?

Answer me!

Careful!

Do you want to get fired in
your first year in the company?

I know.

The repair costs alone...

I know. I'll drive more carefully.

Not that! I'm telling you
to give up on Vash!

I understand.

Are you listening to me?
This is just an undercover report.

I understand!

We'll leave immediately
if anything goes wrong.

I understand!

Are you sure?

Can this get any worse?

ARE YOU NICHOLAS?

YOU PASSED THE TEST.

CONGRATULATIONS, BLESSED CHILD.

TEST SUBJECT HL1-06
MEDICATION TOLERANCE S+

This medicine not only
cures physical injuries,

it can also reconstruct and
strengthen the body's cells.

It's a universal cure.

Doesn't it feel like a dream?

Nico! Nico! Hey Nico!

Although the consequence
is faster physical growth.

He's grown rapidly these past few months.

It's a side effect. It can't be helped.

How terrifying.

He's a monster!

Someone's on the run!

No way!

Don't move!

Stop!

Stop where you are!

What are you doing?!

He's a test subject! Don't hurt him!

How marvelous.

I'm going back...

to the orphanage!

I'm amazed you retain self-consciousness.

S+ boy...

You are gifted.

Starting today, you will be a
member of the Eye of Michael.

I'm sure you'll like it.

It's a place where we pay worship
to beautiful angels.

I don't believe in God.

Punishment...

To realize Mr. Knives's grand plan,

I will clear all obstacles.

Traitors,

fugitives,

the disaffected...

Pretty disgusting religion.

You'll like it.

Like hell I will, moron!

I hear he's your little brother.

Livio!

Looks like he came here
following your footsteps.

What touching brotherly love.

He's willing to do the work
for you if you won't join us.

What do you say?

You're as disgusting
as that hideous blue hair!

Never talk about my hair.

Don't bother fighting back.

My power isn't mere neural
manipulation or electric signals.

Livio... run!

Love... obsession...

I don't see the point.

Emotions are unnecessary.

You must surrender entirely,
body and heart.

Come.

No!

You disgusting blue-haired bastard!

Bluesummers!

You got here fast...

Please be careful with him.

He's just a stray dog, isn't he?

He has top-class tolerance... S+.

How rude of me,

Father William.

You must not desecrate life!

Forgive me, boy...

Forgive me...

Livio.

Please!

Don't make me k*ll you!

There he is! Fire!

Fire!

-He's still alive!
-What the hell's going on?!

No medicine?

Who the hell is he?

It's none of your business!

Hurry up and hide!

Someone will die at this rate!

We don't have time to worry about others!

You know him, don't you?
Then you have to help him!

It's too late.

Don't do it, Spiky Head!

That's enough! You want me, right?

I...

must close the gap...

Drop your weapons and surrender!

You soldiers! You have to get out of here!

sh*ts fired on lower deck.

Requesting immediate backup!

Put your hands up!

You lot better step aside.

Wolfwood!

Didn't I tell you to hide?

Spiky Head?

I can't let you k*ll each other!

Seems like Punisher is in a tough spot.

It must be a difficult choice.

If his brother dies, the other children
in the orphanage are next.

Until they find someone
who can tolerate the medicine.

Humans are so vulgar.

He has too many things
that he wants to protect.

You bastards!

Go hide!

But...

I can make it painful for you!

A security operation is underway.

Please follow instructions
from authorities.

-Measures are in place...
-Do it now!

Emotions are unnecessary.

Love... obsession...

I don't see the point.

To think you still
can't let go of your brother.

It's time to make your choice.

The ship is off-course!

Now of all times...

The Bad Lads g*ng...

Now then...

What will it be, Punisher?

Who will you k*ll?

And who will you let live?

Got you now...
