01x36 - Picking Up the Pieces

[bunniefuu]

Wait!

[NARRATOR] Last time,

on Dragon Ball Z!

Gohan's transformation

brought the battle with Vegeta

to its crushing

conclusion!

With his body and his

pride seriously wounded,

the evil Saiyan had no

choice but to retreat.

And Krillin had little

choice but to watch him go!

When, I come back

to this planet...

you're all

going to suffer,

and when you

beg me for mercy...

I'll stare into your eyes as

I crush the life out of you.

[NARRATOR] Krillin proved

himself the bigger man

by showing

Vegeta mercy.

But will this decision

come back to haunt him?

There's only one

way to find out...

Stay tuned for more

Dragon Ball Z!

[thinking] Go... Just go!

Don't come back...

[KRILLIN]

Gohan...

Hey there,

little guy...

Come on... It's

gonna be all right.

[GOKU] Krillin... Bring him

over here. Let me see him.

How're you, Yajirobe?

Oh, I'm fine...

Don't bother to give

me a hand or anything.

[GOKU] How...

How is he?

Oh, he's a

little banged up,

but mostly I think

he's just exhausted.

Transforming into

a giant ape

isn't exactly as easy

as it looks, you know.

[BOTH] Huh?

[engine roaring in the distance]

Great. Now what?

[ROSHI] Hey! Hello down

there! Krillin! Goku!

[ROSHI laughing]

[KRILLIN laughing]

[CHICHI] Gohan!

ChiChi?

[CHICHI] What are

you waiting for?!

My baby needs me!

Open that door!

[CHICHI] Gohan!

[CHICHI]

I'm coming, son!

[CHICHI] Mommy's here!

[KRILLIN]

Wait, Chichi!

[CHICHI] I was so

worried... It's okay...

I'm here now! I won't let

anything happen to you...

Oh, Gohan...

Please, say something...

He'll be all

right, ChiChi...

But, did you see

Goku over there?

I don't want to scare you,

but he's in pretty bad shape.

If you're going to worry

about anyone, well...

My poor little boy... What

did those bad men do to you?

I promise, I'm never letting

you out of my sight again!

Oh, Gohan...

[thinking] Sheesh! It's not like

he's her husband or anything.

[BULMA]

Goku?

Hey, boy...

Oh, no...

[BULMA] How are you?

Can you move at all?

[ROSHI] Easy now, Bulma...

Sorry if I can't

get up to say hello...

That's all right...

Rest now...

You've done enough

for one day.

Oh, Master Korin...

[KRILLIN] Uh, I'm afraid I've

got some bad news, guys...

Bulma, you know, there's

no easy way to say this...

But, Yamcha,

well, he...

He didn't make it.

Yes, I know... He fought

bravely, didn't he?

Oh! So then, uh, I guess you

know about Piccolo and Kami...

They're gone, too,

and that means,

so are the

Dragon Balls.

We won't be able to

wish anyone back...

[BULMA] Shut up!

I said I already know!

[BULMA sobbing]

I-I'm really sorry...

Yes, me too...

It's too bad. If only Piccolo

and Kami had survived...

Hey, I'm still here!

[BULMA] Yeah?! Well, I hope

you're proud of yourself!

You were hiding

the whole time!

Sneaking around like a coward

while everyone was dying!

Hey! That's

not true!

[BULMA] You're useless! Where

were you when they needed you?!

You should have d*ed!

Not Yamcha! You!

[BULMA wailing]

You should be

thanking me!

I'm the one who cut off that

Saiyan creep's tail, y'know!

Jeez, you stick your

neck out for people...

And this is

what you get!

Now, now.

This is no time

to start fighting

amongst ourselves.

We need to get Goku

to the hospital...

I'm all out of

Senzu beans.

Hmmph.

[ROSHI] Okay, up we

go... Gently...

[BULMA crying]

[engines roaring to life]

[BULMA sobbing]

Where are the

others at, Krillin?

We need to go

pick them up, too...

That way... We were

fighting just over there...

Huh?

[BULMA sobbing]

[KRILLIN] Listen, um, Bulma?

I've been thinking...

And I don't know.

It's probably

impossible, but...

But still... as long

as there's a chance,

I gotta say

something...

Huh?

I can't get it

out of my head.

It's--It's

something that...

Well, it's something that

the Saiyans told us...

There might still be a

way to bring Yamcha back!

[ALL gasping]

What? What do

you mean?

Are you sure?

I-I don't know. It's

a sh*t in a million...

That's okay,

Krillin...

One chance in a million is

better than no chance at all.

Don't be afraid...

Tell us your idea...

Well, you see, uh... Hey,

hold on. This is the spot.

Yamcha and the others

are down there...

We'll talk later, okay?

[ROSHI] Mm-hmm...

Krillin...

Where's Chiaotzu?

I thought we'd find

him here, too...

[KRILLIN] No.

You won't find him.

Chiaotzu blew himself up.

He was trying to save us.

[KORIN] What a tragedy. Such

a shameful, senseless loss.

It's never easy, seeing

such brave young men

cut down in their

prime of their lives.

I know... I wish there was

something I could have done.

I should have

been with them!

[BULMA] Here...

You better let

me fly...

Really,

I'm okay now.

Oh... Are you?

[thinking]

Oh, Yamcha...

[BULMA] Would you mind closing

your eyes for a second?

[YAMCHA] Is she

really gonna kiss me?

[BULMA] You are so dead!

[YAMCHA yelling]

[YAMCHA] I know I let

you down. I'm sorry.

[BULMA] Don't say that.

You didn't let anyone down.

You did your best.

Everybody knows that!

[BULMA whimpering]

[YAMCHA] I'm really

anxious to show these guys

what we're all about

down here on this planet!

[YAMCHA screaming]

No... I failed!

[PICCOLO screaming]

Oh, Gohan! Good!

You're awake!

Uh... Uwaah!

It's okay...

You're safe now.

I've got you.

Uh? Mom? Is that really you?

[CHICHI wailing]

That's right! Mommy's here!

My sweet, little boy!

I never thought

I'd see you again!

Don't worry about a thing,

son... It's all over now.

Yeah. We did it, Gohan.

[GOHAN] We did? So,

what happened to Vegeta?

Well, I guess you could

say he... he got away.

But, listen!

The important thing is,

we ran that creep back

to wherever it is

he came from!

That's all that

matters, right?

What about Dad?

[GOKU] I'm okay, Gohan...

I'm right here...

You did great

today, son.

We really showed

him, didn't we?

[GOHAN and GOKU chuckling]

[YAJIROBE] Hey, ChiChi...

What the heck's goin' on here?

Goku just came back from

the dead and saved the world,

and you've hardly

even looked at him!

He's your husband!

Aren't you at least

gonna say hello?

What? Say hello?

Oh no...

I don't have a single thing

to say to that man right now.

It's his fault my baby

almost got k*lled!

Mom! But the Saiyans were

gonna destroy the Earth!

They can blow up the

universe for all I care!

That's no excuse for putting

my little boy's life at risk!

[YAJIROBE] Man, Goku...

Your wife is crazy!

Hey, Krillin... What were

you going to tell us?

About the Saiyans?

Oh, yeah, okay...

Eh?

The way I understand

it... Well...

The Saiyans found out

about the Dragon Balls,

and they wanted to use

them to make a wish.

That's why they

came to Earth.

They were ready to

k*ll all of us...

Except they wanted

Piccolo alive.

They were convinced

he was the only one

that could lead them

to the Dragon Balls.

What, really?

Yeah... And the whole time,

they kept calling him this..

This really

weird name...

They called

him a Namek.

[ALL gasping]

I think Namek is

where they're from...

I mean, Piccolo and Kami,

they're aliens!

Well, I always said

they were funny lookin'.

Then when Goku was coming,

they said something else...

Nappa! Quickly!

k*ll them all!

[NAPPA] But, what about

the Dragon Balls?

[VEGETA] We don't need

those fools to find them!

It's clear

to me now!

A Namekian is all we need

to make the Dragon Balls,

and Planet Namek is

loaded with them!

And you believed

them? You dope.

[GOHAN] No, you're

right, Krillin!

I mean, if Kami made the Dragon

Balls, and he's a Namek,

why couldn't other Nameks

do the same thing?

Exactly, and maybe

they already have...

Vegeta said he'd heard legends

about Dragon Balls on Namek...

He never

believed them.

But what if they're

really true?

Then, that's it!

If you can somehow

get to Namek,

you can use their Dragon Balls

to wish your friends back!

And we can wish

Piccolo back first!

Now, Gohan, you shouldn't

get too excited...

That's a great idea!

And if Piccolo comes

back, then so will Kami!

And that means we'll have

all the Dragon Balls

here on Earth

back again, too!

Well, it's definitely

worth a sh*t!

Besides, what have we got

to lose? Let's go to Namek!

[KRILLIN]

All in favor, say "Aye"!

[ALL] Aye!

[ALL laughing]

[BULMA] Just stop it,

you guys! It's pointless...

I wish it was really

as simple as that,

but it just isn't!

It won't work.

[KRILLIN] What? What do you

mean? What's the problem?

Krillin, think about it...

For starters, do any of you

have even the slightest clue

where Planet Namek is?

[GOKU] Hey, wait...

I have an idea...

King Kai, are you there?

I hope you're

listening...

We could really use

your help right now.

[KING KAI]

Yes, Goku. I'm here.

So, you're looking

for the Planet Namek?

Well, of course I

know where that is!

Um, say you guys... Is anyone

else hearing voices?

Or is my old age finally

catching up with me?

Thanks, King Kai...

I knew I could count on you.

Go ahead,

we're listening.

Sure, but as long as I have

the podium for a minute...

Let me congratulate you all

on a battle well fought.

I was worried

there for a while.

It looked like that Saiyan

really had you guys

on the ropes!

But you pulled through!

[GOKU] I hate to say it,

but he even had me

a little scared.

I mean, even a Kaio

Ken times four att*ck

wasn't enough

to stop him!

Yes, and those were my

best techniques, too.

I hope you can

think of something

before you have to

face him again...

I'm sorry, but I'm

all out of tricks.

Yeah, I was afraid

you'd say that...

Maybe I shouldn't

have let him go...

Only time

will tell...

What? What are they

talking about?

You mean you actually

let that Saiyan go?

Oh, well, I'll tell you

the whole story later...

[KING KAI] Hmm...

Now where is it...

I'm sure I have

the coordinates

for Planet Namek in

here somewhere...

'Kay... There's Planet

Nambo, Namcheck, Namcheno...

Planet Namee...

Ah yes! Here it is!

The co-ordinates are SW-.

Or maybe SU-...

No, no!

--- XY, definitely!

What? Is he serious?

--- XY? But that's...

Um, what's

the matter?

We know where it is

now... That's good!

Hey! Master Roshi! I need

to check something out...

Take the wheel

for a minute!

You could say please...

--- XY... Hmm...

[KING KAI] I remember...

Planet Namek was once a

very beautiful place.

It was very much

like the Earth...

Lush and green, with

an abundance of life.

But that was

long ago...

Before a catastrophic event

caused the climate to change.

The effects on the

planet were devastating.

It has recovered over

time, little by little.

But I'm not sure there

were any survivors...

But... Oh no.

See? Told ya'...

It's just a pipe dream.

There's no

Dragon Balls.

Can it!

Let's not give

up hope yet...

There's really only one way

we can know for sure...

I'll have to feel it out...

Just give me a moment...

Oh! There it is!

Say... You know... If what

King Kai says is true,

this might explain how it

is that Kami ever came

to live upon

the Earth...

Yes... It must've

been so long ago

that Kami

couldn't remember.

But perhaps his

people sent him here

after the climate

on Namek changed,

so that at least one of

their race would survive!

I don't get it...

If these Namekians really

had a set of Dragon Balls

like you guys say...

Don't you think they

woulda' used 'em?

I mean, they coulda'

just wished their planet

back to normal.

Problem solved.

[ROSHI] No...

Maybe they couldn't.

The Dragon is not

all-powerful...

We found out when we

tried to destroy

the Saiyans

with a wish,

Shenron told us it

wasn't possible.

You see, the Dragon

Balls are tied

to the one

who created them.

And, they cannot

grant a wish

that exceeds their

maker's power.

Oh, that's a

load'a hooey...

You're makin'

it up...

You just don't wanna admit

that you're wrong. Yeah...

Urgh!

Hey! I thought I told

you to can it, stupid!

[KING KAI]

Good news, everyone!

I found the Namekians!

I can sense about a hundred

of them still on the planet,

alive and well!

You call that good news?

You're talkin' about a

hundred Piccolos here!

Even if the Dragon

Balls did exist,

you'd have to fight all

those guys to get 'em!

[KING KAI] No, no, no.

It's not like that at all!

The Namekians are basically

peaceful by nature, like Kami!

Piccolo was the

exception to the rule.

[KING KAI]

You have to remember,

Piccolo was born

there on Earth.

And during his

formative years,

he witnessed firsthand all of

the horrors of that world...

w*r, tyranny,

m*rder...

These experiences

took their toll...

Piccolo was

not born evil.

Rather, it was the evil

of men that corrupted

his otherwise peaceful

Namekian heart.

I guess that

makes sense..

People can be pretty

disgusting sometimes...

You said it...

Well, I can't think

of a better way

to show Piccolo

the good in people

than by using the Dragon

Balls to wish him back!

[BULMA]

Not so fast, guys...

You just don't

get it, do you?

Nothing's changed. So what if

we know where Planet Namek is.

How do we get there?

[KRILLIN] Is this a

trick question?

I mean, we just take a

spaceship! Easy as that!

Oh, easy as that? Well,

I've got news for you!

I just calculated how long it

would take us to make the trip

using the best Capsule

Corp spaceship available!

And do you wanna take a wild

guess what I came up with?

What's that? No idea?

Then allow me to show you.

Here... See?

The numbers don't lie.

Your little cruise to Namek

is gonna take years!

That's one way!

[GOHAN] Wow. That's long.

What do you think,

King Kai?

Any ideas on how

we can get there?

No, I'm afraid I'm

stumped on that one...

Sheesh... They expect

me to know everything?

[KRILLIN laughing]

Okay. So you got me there,

Bulma. It's impossible...

But, hypothetically

speaking,

what would happen if we

used a Saiyan spaceship?

Hm?!

There's an idea. But where

are we gonna get one of those?

I thought the

Saiyans left.

[KRILLIN]

Well, Vegeta left.

And it looked like his ship was

only big enough for one person.

There's absolutely no

way that Nappa guy

could've squeezed

in there with him.

He had to've had

a ship of his own!

Hey! That's right!

And what about my brother

Raditz? He had a ship, too!

But I think it's prob'ly broken

after what Gohan did to it...

Okay! So there's one

spaceship left out there!

Now, all we have to do is

figure out where it is,

and we're

in business!

Well, then... I bet I know

just where to start looking.

It's most likely

not too far

from where the

Saiyans first landed,

somewhere in

East City!

[KRILLIN laughing]

Hey, I think I have

something that might help.

Check it out!

Vegeta dropped it...

I saw him punch a couple a'

buttons... And then boom!

His spaceship

came right to him!

I think it's a remote

control or something...

[BULMA]

Lemme see that!

Hmm...

[BULMA giggling]

Pack your bags!

We're going to Namek!

[ALL laughing]

[BULMA] We'll have Yamcha and

everyone back in no time!

[ALL laughing]

[ALL] Namek! Here we come!

[laughing continues]

[NARRATOR] A day of sorrow has

become a bright day of hope,

as our heroes prepare to embark

on a bold, new adventure!

It's Planet

Namek or bust!

Next time on

Dragon Ball Z!
