July, 2008 A.D.
Mankind was facing the fires of annihilation.
Super electro-magnetic weapons, far more destructive than atomic weapons,
caused half the world to be wiped out in an instant.
The Earth was seized by great tectonic upheavals. Its axis was twisted.
The five continents were ripped completely apart and sank into the sea.
CONAN The Future Boy
Based on the book, "The Incredible Tide" by Alexander Key
"Now the Earth Awakens"
The sea is in blue slumber,
Life is blooming on the land,
And the sky...and the sky dreams of tomorrow.
Look, the reborn Earth welcomes the awakening morning.
Swim and break through the waves! Run and kick up the soil!
Because you love the Earth so much,
Because the dawn is so beautiful!
Put your voices together and sing,
Dance shoulder to shoulder.
Because you love the Earth so much,
Because the dawn is so beautiful!
Episode 5: Industria
You wanna eat?
How long do we have ta do this. . .?
We'll be getting to Industria soon.
Industria, huh?
So, whatcha gonna do if Lana's not in Industria after all?
She IS there!
We won't know that 'till we get there.
Hey, if she ain't there, will you come back with me to My Island?
Ok, after I free Lana.
Ahh. . . Lana, Lana, Lana. . .
Industria ahoy!
I know that!
Looks awful as usual. Makes me feel sick.
You at it again, Captain? You'll get in trouble if Monsley hears you.
Don't say that name! I get sick just hearing it!
All hands prepare to enter port!
Yessir!
All hands on deck! All hands on deck!
Sounds like we're there.
And where d'you think you're going? Start stoking the boiler!
We have to go to the bathroom!
Yeah, REAL bad!
Hey, open up! Open up!
What IS this place?
Y'think yer Lana's really in this dump?
I'll bet there's not a single frog here!
Look at that, Jimsy!
Industria. . .
That's them! The ones who kidnapped Lana!
Lana. . . Lana IS here!
I finally found her!
I found her, Jimsy! I finally found her!
All right, all right! Just get off me, okay?
I'll come and save you soon, Lana.
Hey, no lyin' down on the job! Get ready to unload the ship!
I'll be right there!
What's with that kid? Sure is energetic all of a sudden. . .
Aaah -- busy, busy, busy!
You goin' right now, Conan?
Wouldn't it be better t' wait 'til it gets dark?
But they might be torturing Lana right now!
I gotcha. . . what the hell, I'll help you!
Thanks.
All right, get to work!
Conan, Jimsy -- look sharp there! Put the plastic on the conveyor belt!
Looks like we ain't leavin' anytime soon.
Hurry! We have to finish this by today!
Oh, it's Monsley. Here comes the vixen herself.
Oh, greetings, Monsley! Such a rare treat to have you come here on your own!
Don't play innocent with me! Do you know what you did on this mission?
Are you talking about Lana?
Well, actually, I lost her on the way but I finally found High Harbor and Dr. Lao's granddaughter.
I should be awarded for this; I'm sure not going to LOSE points.
You can explain yourself to the High Committee.
Present yourself in Conference Room #2 in the Administration Building immediately!
Give me back Lana!
What do think you're doing!?
Give me back Lana!
Help! Someone arrest this brat!
My grandpa. . . my grandpa. . .
Lemme go! Lemme go! Lemme go! Lemme go!
You monster! You killed my grandpa!
You. . . You're THAT boy?! You're still alive?!
Give me back Lana and Grandpa!
Sorry about that. What a jerk!
Well, thank heavens you weren't hurt.
Don't try to change the subject!
Why did you bring that boy here!?
It is strictly forbidden to bring in new people like that without permission!
I found him at the plastic mine and brought him here because, as you saw, he's VERY strong.
At any rate, you'll have to report this to the Committee too.
Sure! Any time!
Hey, Dongoroth!
Yes, sir. Whoof, Captain, did you see her face just now?
Idiot! Shame on you! How could you let Conan do such a thing!? Throw him in the brig!
Hey, hang in there, Conan.
Well, I told ya t' wait.
Enter.
Commerce Bureau agent Dyce reporting.
Why did you escape from the ship? I was so worried about you!
Enough, Dyce. You have been summoned here to be judged.
Judged? Why do I have to be judged?
Watch your tongue. Where do you think you are? This is the Industrian High Committee.
There are two reasons we called you here, Dyce.
You have committed conduct unbecoming to an Industrian. You performed a shameful kidnapping.
Kidnapping?
Oh, come on. You don't mean my bringing Lana?
Your orders were to search for Dr. Briac Lao, not to kidnap his granddaughter Lana.
The doctor wasn't in High Harbor and Lana's the only one who might know where he is.
But that cannot justify a kidnapping.
Furthermore, she escaped your ship and you lost track of her again.
You are a disgrace to Industria!
Disgrace!? Don't whitewash!
Lana is the key to our getting solar energy! If you don't want her, I'll take her back.
The committee will decide on this.
See? You wanted her anyway.
Now, now, stop it, both of you.
We can't lay all the blame on Dyce. In fact, it is thanks to his efforts that we can talk to Lana.
We will grant you a point for your efforts in bringing Lana here. . .
and deduct a point for the kidnapping, for a total of zero.
Excellent.
No!! You can't take away my points!
Hold your tongue, Dyce.
The Committee has rendered judgment.
Yessir!
And did you say there was another charge against Dyce?
Yes, sir. He brought in a person without permission.
A person?
Yes, an extremely violent young boy.
I therefore demand that Dyce turn over said person to the Administration.
We do not have enough to take in more people now. . .
but if Administration takes care of him, that will suffice.
That will be all. You are dismissed, Dyce.
Yes, sir!
Dammit!! Those old goats made a fool out of me!
We don't want solar energy to the point of being anti-humanitarian.
We are protecting our vanishing civilization and we wish to continue to, too.
That is why we want the doctor and you to cooperate with us.
Dr. Lao is an authority on solar energy. Now he's the only one left in his field.
Through his knowledge, Industria could be filled with activity and more people would be able to live here.
We just want to be able to speak with the doctor again.
Please, tell us where he is. Won't you cooperate with us?
Please let me return to High Harbor.
That should be enough for today.
Please forgive our manners, Lana. We'd like to let you return, too, see?
Grandfather. Grandfather, where are you?
We've asked you as gently as we could, Lana, but that has not proven effective.
We have no alternative. We must get solar energy to survive!
We must!!
Tell me! Where is Dr. Lao?! Where is he hiding?!
Listen to me -- your grandfather is a devil, a fiend who's out to monopolize the hopes of Mankind!
That's not the kind of man my grandfather is!
Then why did he escape and abandon us?
Because. . . because this island of Industria is evil!
What!?
In a few years, the nuclear reactor on this island will be used up. Then all of us will have to die!
I'm not like the old men on the Committee. I'll do anything I have to to get what I want.
Look.
This is a tool used to put marks on people for whom we have no use.
Once you are so marked, it can never be erased.
I could put this on your face right now.
I give you just one day. Think well about it.
Thank you, Tikki.
But it's nesting season already, so you'd all best go back to High Harbor.
Don't worry about me. It's enough that you've told me that Conan is still alive.
I have to be strong. I am the granddaughter of Briac Lao.
Grandfather must have had some deep reason. I wish I knew what it was.
So here is where the princess drowns in her sorrow, as it were.
Would you like to hear some good news, princess?
Now who do you think is the "violent person" I referred to at the conference?
Do you remember that preposterous boy on that island where we found you?
The boy who jumped on the Falco and tore up its wing with a harpoon?
Do you remember him?
Conan's come to this island?
Oh, so that's your prince's name, is it -- Conan?
He attacked me and said, "Give me back Lana!"
Isn't that amazing? He came all the way to Industria to save you.
He's stupid but I admire his initiative.
I've decided to take him, since leaving him with Dyce would be a waste.
After I give him a good education, he'll make a good citizen.
Open the door! Let me see Conan! Conan!
Tikki, Conan's come here for me! He's come to save me! But he's been captured. . .
What should I do. . .
Oh, how I wish I were out of here! Conan. . .
Conan! Hey, Conan!
Owwww!
Hey, Conan, wake up!
Is that you, Jimsy?
Now's yer chance t' go. The captain ain't here and everyone's drinking.
But I need a key.
I'll try t' open it somehow.
Please!
Orders from the Administration! Hand over the boy named Conan to us!
You're going to take Conan? But the captain's out right now.
That doesn't matter! Take us to him!
Damn! Good lock fer such a piece-o'-junk ship.
This way.
Trouble!
Hold on, you're not gonna kill him, are you? He's not a bad guy.
Just close your mouth and open the door!
Out!
Hey, there's no one inside!
Huh? You're kidding!
Here, take this, Conan!
Thanks!
Damn! Don't let him get away!
Way t' go, Conan!
Hold on, Lana, I'm coming to save you now!
This is an Administration bulletin. There is an intruder in the vicinity of the Triangle Tower.
Please cooperate in arresting the intruder.
Shaddup! 'Minishtraz'n. . . big deal!
Shpoil'n th' taste o' this wunnerful booze. . .
No problems reported, Ma'am.
All right, I don't think he'll make it this deep inside, but be sure you take proper precautions.
Yes, Ma'am!
Owww!
Where am I?
Lots of bread coming out.
Are they making bread from the plastic?
Who's trying to steal bread!?
Ooops!
Freeze or we'll shoot!
There he is! This way!
Gangway! Gangway!
Chief!
What is it?
It seems that Lana is the object of the intruder's search.
Lana?
Birds. . . ?
Episode 6: Dyce's Rebellion
No, no one can pry out this window.
Stop it please! It's dangerous.
I heard talking. Is somebody here?
There's no one here.
Move out of the way!
What's this?
I see. Is that boy around here?
You won't make a fool of me again.
Stay back.
Surrender! I know you're hiding out there!
If you come out now, I won't shoot you.
What's wrong, coward?
Conan! Go!
You little bastard!
What!?
Lana! Lana!
Are you okay?
I found you at last!
I was saved by the one I was supposed to save!
I thought you died. I cried a lot.
Look.
Well Lana, let's go to High Harbor!
Come, hang on tight!
What?! Have they escaped?
I'm sorry. I don't believe they have left the Triangle Tower yet.
Do not let them escape; activate the Triangle Tower.
Don't worry about it. I'll report to the committee later.
Go away! Monsley!
Um-ah, no it's not Monsley, but a harpoon.
Wha-? I've seen this harpoon before.
What? The Triangle Tower is all lit up?
Is that? Oh! It's Lana and Conan!
Conan! You bastard!
I must go!
Are you afraid?
I'm fine.
We must've rattled them.
Conan. I can't hang on.
Hold on!
There they are!
Bring the net and catch them! Hurry up!
I'll jump!
Are you all right?
Let's go.
The kids are heading for the X Tower. Follow them right away!
What a remarkably strong boy! He's too good to be killed!
Have you found them?
I'm sorry. We think they are going to the X Tower by the underground route.
Aren't you ashamed! Fooled by some kids!
I've closed the gates so they can't escape to the outside.
Chief. Can you get permission to use the radar from the committee?
Right. I will. Now go get them!
Yes sir!
I can't believe those machines are still functioning.
Close this gate also.
This way's no good. Let's go this way.
Under the Triangle Tower is like a maze, isn't it?
Yeah, I came this way before.
There's got to be an exit. This way.
Geez!
Did you close the other side?
Yes sir!
Okay, close it!
Conan. Maybe this tunnel leads somewhere?
Yeah, probably. Let's go!
Wow!
What on earth is this?
Conan, I remember something my grandfather told me.
In the last war, huge moth-like airplanes covered the sky.
This one must be a remnant from the last war.
One of the reasons I dislike Industria is because there is only rock and steel. There are no trees and grass.
Conan. Now I know why Lepka wants solar energy. He wants it for the airplane.
Solar. . . energy?
Yes. Getting energy from the sun. Lepka says my grandpa is supposed to know how.
What? You mean grab the sun?
I'm not sure exactly. A long time ago, people created a star to gather the power of the sun.
Nobody knows the location of the star because of the war.
He said, if he can find the star he'll be able to use it to power the Triangle Tower.
Is that why Lepka is looking for your grandpa?
Yes. Lepka is trying to make this airplane fly once again. If he can then these people will be able to destroy the world again
What a rotten guy Lepka is!
Don't worry Lana. We'll hide here a while, then find an exit.
I will take you back to High Harbor.
Conan, how is your grandfather?
He died.
Oh. It's my fault he died.
No, it's not your fault at all.
Look, Lana's hair!
I must've lost it somehow.
What?
You're completely surrounded. Give up and give us Lana.
That's Lepka.
Did you kill them?
No, I just used sleeping gas.
Lepka, that asshole.
. . . he must've come all the way from that island to find Lana.
Ha, Ha, Ha, so he's her Prince Charming?
You awake?
Why did you have to handcuff Lana too?
Release her!
Look carefully. It's very hot.
No, don't do it.
Everything is up to you.
If you cooperate with us, I'll let you go back to High Harbor.
Where is the Doctor?!
I really don't know where he is!
I know that you and the doctor are ESPers.
Call him by telepathy; if you'll call him he will respond, like the birds do. . .
. . . or do you want to hear this boy scream?
I'll never scream!
Oh, you really think so?
Answer me, yes or no!
Lana. . . Conan came such a long way to save you, all the way from that lonely island. Don't you feel sorry for him? You shoul
Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell.
What?
Do you want to see him get hurt?
I know what you plan to do. If you get solar energy you'll use it to power the weapons in the underground hangar.
You'd threaten all the world like you're threatening us now.
That's why my grandpa wouldn't cooperate with you. I won't either!
Use the branding iron on me!
You chicken! Don't do it to Conan, do it to me!
Okay, as you wish.
But. . . first I want you to see him suffer.
Bastard! Conan is innocent, do it to me!
Wait!
Even your monstrous strength can't separate those.
Quick, take the chief to the medical room!
Kill! Kill him!
What are you waiting for? Take the chief to the medical room, NOW!
Monsley! Abandon the kid in the desert where he'll starve to death!
Take this kid to jail.
Lana, I'll come to save you, so don't cry. Okay?
No, I won't.
Conan, I'm sorry.
Hah! You want me to finish him?
Don't talk so big! You couldn't capture him by yourself. Hmph! Go away now!
Yes sir!
Obviously you'll get the death penalty because you threw chief Lepka.
But I won't kill you so soon.
First, I'll try to educate you.
If that doesn't work, then I'll kill you.
Remember, I can free you.
Captain, all petty officers gathered, sir!
All right!
Mo-monster!?
Ha, ha, ha, are you scared?
Captain!
Oh, he's finally flipped his lid.
I'm giving you an order now.
Attention!!
We of the Barracuda will seize Lana and escape to High Harbor tomorrow morning.
Seize Lana!?
He's really gone.
This is of course rebellion against Industria. If we're caught, we'll be killed.
Obviously he's going crazy.
I really hate Industria! I want to find a peaceful way to use solar energy.
Lepka just wants to use the old weapons and be the only powerful one!
If he gets solar energy, he'll just abandon us and make us work as his slaves for the rest of our lives.
What a disgrace!
Listen. We're sailors aren't we?
We're the men who share all the hardships, fight the storm, and look for the dreams beyond the horizon, aren't we?
Since we have the Barracuda, we can go anywhere in the world. Delicious foods, beautiful girls, and wonderful islands are waiti
I won't force you.
If you want, you can remain in Industria.
It's risky. I don't want. . .
However, won't we be killed by the old weapons?
Idiot. That's why we'll kidnap Lana.
If they don't get solar energy, all that stuff is just junk!
. . . but how about when administration's ships or seaplanes follow us?
They can't kill Lana, so long as we have Lana they can't shoot a bullet!
I see, you're smart!
Good! Then we'll carry out the plan in the morning! We'll leave as soon as we kidnap Lana.
Captain.
Let's go!
Halt! Or I'll shoot!
Easy, easy. We're not strangers at all.
What the hell is this!
Oh, weren't you informed?
I was told to take him to Chief Lepka.
We haven't been informed of such a thing!
He looks terrible but he's actually harmless.
Okay, pass.
Captain, we've made it!
No, not yet!
It's me! Dyce.
Oh, poor girl.
Lepka is a bad guy, . . .
I realized it.
Okay, I'll take you to High Harbor.
How about Conan? I promised I'd wait for Conan.
Oh, what a kind girl.
Shit, Conan, what a corny kid!
No problem, I released Conan already.
He's waiting in the ship.
Captain! Hurry!
Get in the bag, hurry, we don't have much time!
Hurry!
Be patient just a little while.
Wait.
Wait up!
Dyce!!
No good!
Close the gate!
Follow them!
Conan! Wake up!
Finally I found you.
What the hell are you doing?
Look sharp, otherwise the Captain will take Lana away!
What? Are you sure?
Geez. Can't you get out of there.
Oh, the captain is coming.
I'll come back if I can!
Episode 7: Chase
Wait, wait.
Dyce!
Run!
Close the gate!
Follow them!
What? Are you sure?
Geez, can't you get out?
Ah, the captain is coming.
I'll come back if I can.
Wait!
Gangway, gangway!
Depart!
Full speed!
Conan, Conan, what about Conan?
Forward ho!
Don't let them go! Kill the traitor Dyce!
Ha ha ha! Goodbye!
Prepare the ships!
Yes sir!
Goddamn!
Conan won't come.
Liar!
