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!
It's the ocean.
Episode 9: The Salvage Ship
Ruka, bring coffee!
Yes, it's ready.
The flavor of this coffee isn't so good.
The color is good though.
Don't you think so, Terit?
By the way, where is Patch?
Oh, Patch should be walking around outside.
Do you still have a grudge against Patch?
Of course! I've lost ten points because of him.
I could be a second class citizen for another eighty points.
Shit! I'm tired of fake coffee.
I think the punishment is more than reasonable, . . .
since you had broken the valuable parts of the salvage ship.
What!? Do you want to go against me and lose the points?
No, no sir.
Anyway, I've already given up trying to be a second class citizen.
Shit! If he'll make a mistake. . .
It's not likely so long as he's alive.
Certainly he is a good engineer and very careful. But he's human.
Someday he'll make a mistake. Then I will. . .
Patch.
What happened?
Those are kids!
Get out!
Who are these kids?
Where did you find them? Were they in the desert?
Hey kid! Wake up.
Can you understand me?
Open it.
Yes, Patch.
Patch, they've probably escaped from Industria.
We should report this and. . .
Back to work!
Didn't you hear me Terit? Hurry up!
The deck work is supposed to be done today. Finish it quickly!
Hey, wake up!
Don't touch Lana.
You!
Looks like you're okay now.
What's your name?
Name. . .?
Yes, I'm asking.
I'm Conan. She is Lana.
Conan and Lana . . .
Don't have to record it!
But we have a duty to report.
Where did you come from?
From the Lonely island.
Where are your parents?
Parents? They died.
Well, I came from an island far away from here and we had a shipwreck. . .
Hey! Don't lie! You must have escaped from Industria.
Escaped? And what is Industria?
Don't pretend!
Stop, Terit. It doesn't matter where they came from.
What!?
Anyway, they'll work here until they die.
Because of your mistake our work is delayed and we need labor to compensate for it.
But Patch, don't you know article 41 of the labor law?
It is prohibited to use strangers. . .
. . . without permission!
Yes, that's right.
When we find healthy homeless or stateless people we must take them to Industria and. . .
That's right but you've forgotten an important thing, that I am the law here.
I have no interest in who you are, but if you're lazy, you'll be severely punished!
Patch, if the administration finds out about this, we'll be in a lot of trouble.
I don't want to be responsible for that and besides, we need a diver, not kids!
We should report about them to Industria. . .
Is the job to dive into the water?
Wh-what!?
I'm very good at diving. I don't have to wear the strange suit.
Ridiculous, it is about 100 feet deep to the bottom.
How deep is it?
Half of the distance between here and the land.
Oh, only that much?
This kid is fooling with us.
Come, boy.
Boy, look at this closely.
Get it.
Patch!
Okay.
No problem. I'm okay.
He hasn't come back. It's been three or three and a half minutes.
No diver can be under the water more than three minutes.
He must have died! It's your fault!
Please help Conan, please!
I found it!
Isn't it?
How come you took so long?
It was sunk in the sand so I couldn't find it so easily.
Don't make up a story! I threw that on a deck!
Heh, after I found it, I was swimming around a little while.
Here's a souvenir.
Thi--this is. . .
I found it at the bottom of the ship.
Did you go to the bottom?
Wow, pens, watches too. What a treasure.
Lana, are you okay?
Yes, I am. I was worried.
That was easy.
Hey, what did you do that for?!
You are not allowed to do anything selfish here.
You'll start work tomorrow. Remember if you delay the job, you'll be punished.
I feel like I'm still dreaming.
That's because you're still not well.
No, I mean, I thought we were going to die but we're alive now.
My grandpa guided us here.
Do you think your grandpa is here?
No, it can't be because there are only Industrians here.
Lana, what's wrong?
I was thinking about the man Patch.
Don't be afraid; I'll work extra hard and then he'll treat me good.
After you get well, let's escape.
Yes, but. . .
What are you doing?
It's not good manners to eavesdrop, Ruka.
I'm sorry.
Well, I had a granddaughter. If she's alive she's about her age.
Don't have such ridiculous ideas. Go!
Girl! Get up! Hurry!
Boy, get back to your position!
Hey, she's still weak.
You can rest. I'll do it.
You continue your job.
Remember, if you don't do as I say, you'll be treated like this.
Patch is very strict, isn't he?
He said he'd use them for labor, so he has to be, but the kids can't stand it for long.
But isn't he being overprotective? Like he doesn't want anybody to touch them.
Oh, really?
Didn't you say Patch caught you last night?
How come he was there at that time?
Well, maybe because the moon was so beautiful.
Don't joke with me!
I bet he has a secret. I'll find it out.
Starting today, we'll seal the hole of the ship.
We'll work as usual except the kid will carry the materials.
So, we won't use the crane today.
Terit, continue to maintain the equipment.
But it's easier to use the crane.
Don't you understand? We have to save as much energy as we can to salvage the ship.
Get to it!
Why do we seal the hole?
Because we'll pump in air after that.
Why do you pump in air?
Because the ship will float after that.
I got it.
Shit, he makes fun of me.
Ready the pump!
Aye sir!
Let's go Conan.
Wait, I can use this situation.
Yo, are you okay? Isn't that too heavy?
No, not at all.
Aren't you tired?
I can give you some time to rest if you'll answer my questions.
I don't need it.
You just have to say where you came from.
Just tell me the truth.
Give it back to me.
You! Don't get stuck up!
Come!
Do it faster!
Lana, why you.
Boy, do your job!
Lana's job is to carry the ropes. Your boss told her so!
When Patch is under water, I'm the boss. If you want to spare her, identify yourselves.
Conan, don't worry, I'm okay.
Faster!
Otherwise Patch will die in the sea.
Lana, I'm gonna help you now.
Oh, will you?
Lana, you can rest.
Thank you.
Hey, get him. I'll exempt your past penalty if you get him!
Shit!
Did you see? It's no problem. You can rest.
Little Bastard.
Hey girl, if you wanna help him, identify yourselves now!
Tell me! Otherwise. . .
Stop! Release Conan!
If you tell me, I'll release him.
Lana, don't tell.
We escaped from Industria.
Good!
I'll get a least twenty points by giving them to Industria.
I'll be the boss from now on, everyone swear to cooperate with me!
Understand?
Terit, what did you do while I'm wasn't here?
Hey everybody, arrest him, he's a law breaker!
It's Falco!
Everybody get back to work.
Girl! Take the boy somewhere.
Oh, Miss Monsley.
Do not say anything. Otherwise I'll kill you.
Patch, you look fine.
What did you come for!? We still have to work today!
We didn't come about the work. We came to look for escapees today.
Have you seen a boy and a girl? Both are about ten years old.
No, I haven't but I'll capture them if I see them.
Shit, the bastard.
Anyway, I'll give you the details.
Take the Falco close to the quay!
I don't have the time. Go away!
What do you mean? You want trouble?
Go away girl, I'll talk to you after I've fixed the ship.
I've never seen such a stubborn old man.
But he's an excellent engineer.
Should I move the Falco closer?
No, he might smash us.
Patch, ready for your punishment?
Yeah, anytime, if you want to lose the ship.
Luke, let's leave.
Miss Monsley, I have information to tell you. Let me get on secretly.
Grandpa.
What did you say?
No, it can't be.
Episode 10: Dr. Lao
Do you understand? Do exactly as I planned.
Yes.
He's a sleepyhead. It's easy.
Gutch, Jimsy, do you understand what to do?
First, I grab the legs.
Then I take the gun.
And I'll finish him.
Good.
If you don't wanna die, it's gotta work.
He's coming.
Nooooooo! Captain Dyce!
While we were sleeping, he killed himself.
Please take down our poor Captain.
First I should report to Mr. Lepka.
What do we do?
Captain's scenario does not have such a situation.
Idiot. We have to continue even if Lepka comes. Cry! Yell!
Okay, open it.
You, tickle your Captain.
What? Tickle him?
We can't do that to the dead.
It doesn't matter, go on!
Do it!
Take his shoes off!
Stop, stop it, please.
Dyce, what a nice play.
I prepared a better way for you to die.
You'll be left in the desert to slowly die of thirst.
God damn, I won't die!
I deduct 30 points for your penalty!
Chief Lepka.
I've brought important information. He knows where Conan and Lana are.
Really?
Okay, come.
Conan is alive.
Lana is alive!
Hooray, bravo!
How can he be so happy?
Yeah, soon we'll be dehydrated men.
Thanks for telling me that. She must be Lana.
How is the taste of genuine coffee?
Yes, it is excellent.
Soon you'll be able to have that as much as you want. I give you 50 points.
Fifty points!
So, only 30 points more to be a second-class citizen.
Chief, let's arrest Lana immediately.
No. Take him back to the salvage ship.
Mr. Lepka, I don't get the point.
That girl has telepathy and she may contact Dr. Lao.
It's better to let her free and wait until she meets Dr. Lao.
I see.
I'll give you this radio.
Inform us immediately when the girl meets Dr. Lao.
Remember, the future of Industria depends on you.
Y-yes.
I wish you success.
Thank you sir.
Terit, you're lucky. It's rare to get 50 points at one time.
Yes. But I'm afraid because when I meet Patch. . .
Don't worry, he doesn't know you left. I'll drop you off away from the salvage ship.
So you'll just have to sneak back into the place.
Yes.
Patch will pay for it. That bastard doesn't even know the value of Lana.
What's going on!?
I don't know!
It's moths!
Moths are crossing the ocean?
Have you ever seen such an incident?
No, never.
What're you doing?
I'm making a harpoon. I thought, it'll be necessary when we escape from here.
What? We'll escape? From here?
What? Yes.
The moth-like seaplane will come to look for us again and if we stay here we'll be treated bad like today, and Lana might die.
I think we should stay here.
What?
I'm not afraid to escape. I just hear a voice.
A voice?
Yes, it says "don't go" in my head.
Is that your grandpa's voice?
I don't know.
Anyway, I'm very anxious about it. Conan, let us stay here a little longer.
Okay, as you wish.
It must be your grandpa's voice, because we were saved by that when we were in danger in the desert. He must be near here.
Yes, probably.
Nothing. It's just a moth.
Oh, I was scared.
Wow! There are so many of them.
Conan, you should sleep, otherwise it'll be hard to work tomorrow.
Yeah. Sorry I woke you up.
Don't be sorry. Good night.
Good night.
What's going on?
Patch, what's wrong? It's two hours before we are supposed to start to work.
Haven't you noticed something strange?
What are you talking about?
It's nice weather. Nothing is strange.
Where are the gulls?
The gulls?
Gulls?
There aren't any gulls around.
That's right. It is too quiet. There are no clouds or waves either.
What's wrong?
I will dive and check something out. While I am in the water put the wire on the winch.
We may have to fix the ship.
Patch, what is it?
Anyhow, I have to go see first.
Get ready to dive!
yes.
Okay.
Conan, didn't you say there were too many moths last night?
Yeah.
It's perhaps. . .
Earthquake.
The wire broke!
How about lifeline!?
The air tube is. . .
Oh. It's broken?
No. But lifeline and air tube are fully stretched.
Okay, I'll go and see.
Ruka, bring another diving suit!
How is he?
No good. The ship is turned over completely. Patch is under that.
Really?
It's useless, you can stop pumping.
Hey, can't we lift the ship by crane?
No way. If we could do that we have already done it.
Lana, Lana, help me, Lana, Lana. . .
He's alive. He's still alive.
Stop it, he's already dead.
No, he is alive!
Conan hurry!
There!
Conan. . .
Ruka!
Stop it Ruka! Patch is dead! And the kid too!
No!
It's been ten minutes since the boy dived.
No, No!
I don't want you to die for such a ridiculous thing!
Let go!
Ouch, you!
Grandpa, grandpa, grandpa, oh, you're my grandpa!
Yes, I am Lana.
Grandpa.
So, so you are Dr. Lao?
Yes, I am Lao.
Everyone, capture him! He's wanted by Industria with a big reward!
Arrest him! Come on!
What's wrong? You can earn lots of points! Don't you want to be a second-class citizens?
What's that?
Grandpa.
Industria, Industria can you hear me? This is Terit. I've found Dr. Lao. Patch was he was-eek!
Patch, what is it?
Disaster. A new diastrophism will occur.
Diastrophism?
The birds and bugs have already realized it.
This is merely the beginning. It will be worse.
Patch, what can we do?
Patch, help us.
Do not worry. This place is safer than land. We also have rations for at least 10 days. We just have to wait for rescue.
No matter who he is, Patch is still our boss. Don't you guys think so?
Okay, everyone get in the store house.
Grandpa, I'm sorry I didn't recognize you.
I thought maybe you were but. . . And I finally realized by that voice.
It is not your fault since my appearance changed. When I escaped from Industria I was seriously injured.
Injured?
Yes. My flying machine was attacked and damaged.
I see.
But because of the injury, I could hide my true identity and become a boss of this place as Patch.
Conan, forgive me. I treated you bad to hide my true identity.
I know you fought bravely for my Lana. I have no way to express my appreciation to you.
Thank you Conan.
Not at all. I just wanted to protect Lana.
I know. Please continue to be Lana's good friend.
Grandpa. Industria probably knows about us now.
Yes, Terit has already reported. We have to leave here as soon as possible.
It's unfortunate that we have to leave that ship.
Yes, I was going to fix it and go back to High-harbor.
I prepared this for an emergency.
Hurry up! Terit clearly said he found Dr. Lao.
But I can't speed up in this storm.
He'll run away! Speed up!
Hang on!
