"That's right." "Even then..." "I didn't kill him." "It wasn't my fault!" "That's right..." "Even then..." "You're afraid of the ocean?" "I nearly drowned when I was a kid." "The adults thought I was playing and just stood on the shore, watching and laughing." "What's a guy like that doing on this project?" "Because this thing will keep me from drowning." "Go?" "You are?" "Yeah." "I formally volunteered yesterday." "You're talking crazy!" "Aren't you interested?" "He had money, fame, position." "Why would such an important scientist start all this?" "Aren't you interested?" "Know what this is?" "A composite...?" "It was taken by a recon drone." "That's what's inside the thick clouds our spy sats can't peek through." "So..." "Wanna check it out?" "You scared?" "We're transmitting the signal." "They won't kill us." "That's assuming Zorndyke's in the mood to talk to us." "He is." "How do you know that?" "!" "Just because." "Starboard high!" "Something big!" "That's...!" "The Ghost Ship!" "Leave it alone, Hayami!" "We have no intention of attacking!" "Katsuma!" "Go on without me, Hayami!" "God dammit!" "He ignored our signal!" "Never mind!" "Just go!" "Almost..." "Almost got it...!" "I'm fine!" "Just go!" "KATSUMA!" "See you around, Hayami." "I didn't kill him." "Smack in the middle of the Pacific." "Helluva one-way ticket..." "You..." "You saved me?" "You want me to eat this?" "You sure?" "Isn't it a friend of yours?" "We're enemies, you know." "You want to thank me?" "All I do is get rescued." "By Katsuma..." "And also..." "All I do is get rescued from the sea." "Hey." "Are you guys happy about this?" "If this pole shift succeeds, we'll lose our place to live." "And then we'll vanish from the Earth soon after." "Then you guys will create a new world." "A world of endless blue." "A utopia covered by the waters of life." "Are you happy about that?" "Zorndyke rejects the world as it is." "Does that mean we're unhappy?" "Maybe he wants nature to punish us for all the destruction we cause by pursuing our ambitions." "No, that's not right." "He isn't any sort of ecologist." "And I don't think he went nuts, either." "Would he kill a billion people just for that?" "So, why is Zorndyke...?" "Aren't you interested?" "Some good luck mixed in with the bad." "Damage in the engine room's light and our hull repairs should be completed soon." "Out of 7 boats, 2 are heavily damaged and 1 moderately damaged." "That's not what I call good luck." "But the operation's begun." "There's no turning back now." "You should rest." "I'm fine." "Thinking about him?" "You reap what you sow" "Stop it." "We're fighting to avenge a billion people." "No, to let mankind keep on living!" "There's no room in that fight for an outsider who acts like a cowboy." "Am I wrong?" "!" "I don't think you're wrong..." "Then you're going to have to forget about him!" "He left while we were fighting..." "Even if he survives, we'd leave a bad taste in each other's mouths." "We've sighted it!" "Coordinates 22-1 6-00." "Right on target!" "Confirmed." "We've arrived at the target point!" "Picking up beacon!" "So, we're finally here." "Yeah..." "Our last card to play." "An inheritance from the old days, huh?" "Heh, an inheritance?" "Nasty things to lose, don't you think?" "They're nuclear-tipped, aren't they?" "SLBMs..." "A Typhoon-class sub rigged as a giant torpedo carrying 20 SLBMs rigged for simultaneous ignition." "The flashiest firecracker in the world." "Send out the Grampus." "Begin the operation!" "That's right." "There's no turning back now..." ""Kill him, kill him", huh?" "The same..." "It's the same thing, all over again." "Kill me." "If it'll make you happy, then do it." "A billion people are already dead." "One or two more won't make much of a difference." "What the...?" "This is..." "A Musuca-class...?" "You saved her." "You saved Mutio." "What's going on?" "The women have returned to the sea." "Now you must return to where you belong." "That doesn't exist anymore." "The place I was born is on the bottom ofthe sea now." "Where you belong exists neither on the land nor in the air." "Are you saying...?" "!" "Your companions still live." "Isn't the work finished yet?" "30 more minutes, Boss!" "I want it done NOW!" "Damn it all..." "Um, uh..." "Boss?" "What is it?" "!" "We're getting a signal from the Mutio." "You know where the women went?" "!" "Well, uh..." "After Blue Dome was destroyed it seems one of Blue 6's crew was spared." "WHAT?" "!" "Why did they save a human?" "!" "They're the enemy!" "The enemy we have to kill!" "Well, yes sir, but..." "Damned thieving cats!" "They lie!" "Kill!" "Steal!" "That's what they're really like!" "Uh, cats, sir...?" "Idiot!" "Onloading completed, Boss!" "You're sure of what we've got?" "Aye, sir." "13 cruise missiles, 6 torpedoes, 8 depth charges." "All of them nuclear-armed." "Excellent..." "We'll burn the humans to death with the unquenchable fire they created themselves!" "What a show this will be..." "But, Boss..." "The order to destroy them hasn't come!" "Just SHUT UP!" "Papa's methods are too soft!" "When it's time to kill, you kill!" "The humans see their chance." "They'll be advancing into our territory soon." "Kill them!" "Annihilate them all!" "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" "We were born beneath the thick ice of the Antarctic." "Inside the culture tanks." "We were to wander the seven seas and destroy human cities." "That was our purpose." "But, one day, a question arose among my kind." "Why did Papa grant us sentience?" "How much of the Manyoshu have you learned so far?" ""'Today, today!" "' Each day I have waited for you..."" ""...and now do they not say you are strewn with the shells of Ishi River?"" "I'll be finished with the Chronicle of Garia soon." "Wonderful." "Good girl." "Brother Verg is so late..." "Yes." "Troublesome boy..." "I hope nothing bad will happen to him." "Why did he?" "Aren't you interested, human?" "Because he's testing us?" "I am not nearly so arrogant as that." "Those who walk on the land and those who swim in the sea." "Two life-forms, set to kill each other." "He won't be the one who decides this." "Will it be us who decide?" "Isn't that right, Katsuma?" "I'm interested myself, now." "About this man called Zorndyke..." "Seabed rise." "Range: 2000!" "Engines, one-half." "Left rudder, 25 degrees." "This is like trick riding." "Overhead out cropping." "Range: 600!" "It's not on the charts!" "Engines, slow!" "Left rudder, 8 degrees!" "Up trim, 12!" "No!" "14 degrees!" "This is nuts!" "We'll never make it through!" "Down trim, 15 degrees!" "Aye, aye!" "There's no better guide for us than him." "This is the path he took to make peace with Zorndyke." "Every nook and cranny is etched into his memory." "A path to peace, huh?" "And now it's being used as our last chance to destroy him." "Ironic, isn't it?" "Up trim, 5 degrees!" "Left rudder..." "And return!" "It's quiet." "The flagship Coback should be cracking their rear line with the Atlantic Fleet." "That should keep the enemy nice and busy." "I hope so." "We're behind schedule, but we get the choice part of this mission." "Too bad for the Atlantic Fleet but we'll be the ones who finish off the enemy." "Bio-motor contact!" "What?" "!" "Verifying sound profile..." "It's a Musuca!" "Boss!" "Musuca 22 is approaching the Blue Fleet by itself!" "What did you say?" "!" "At this rate, they're going to give our position away!" "Number 22?" "That defective prototype who wandered away from the herd?" "It looks like a human and a woman are with him." "Should we help him?" "No, wait." "Let them kill him." "Let the Blues kill him." "Captain!" "The Grampus is better suited for this narrow channel!" "Order me out to attack with some torpedos!" "Wait." "It could be a trap." "Sonar shows it's alone." "No escorts." "Maybe it's a scout." "Strange..." "Musuca, closing range!" "Sonar!" "Go to active search!" "Opening torpedo tubes!" "Message to all ships!" "Take formation around the Typhoon!" "Musuca's speed is unchanged." "Anti bio-ship warheads 1 and 2, loaded!" "Range: 5200 and closing." "Torpedo tubes are flooded!" "Active homing range set!" "Number 1 and 3 torpedoes set for speed mode 3!" "Musuca has changed course." "Range: 5000." "He's on a collision course!" "A suicide run?" "Captain!" "Number 1 and 3 tubes, fire!" "Take out that Musuca!" "No, don't!" "Hayami?" "!" "That's what Huang says." "Kino!" "You're in too close!" "If they attack again...!" "My words do not reach them." "Go now." "Are you telling me...?" "You knew this would happen?" "!" "The lifespan of a prototype is brief." "I've swam far enough." "I've seen the auroras of the north, the whales of the south..." "The migrating birds of the east, and the playful dolphins of the west." "It is enough." "My life shall end here." "I hear the song." "Song?" "Colored blue..." "Piercing..." "A sad song..." "You really did it, you bastard." "Go now!" "To where you belong!" "You saved Mutio." "I think Papa would like to meet a man like you." "Hayami!" "Kino?" "Ha...yami..." "Go!" "Go now!" "Hayami!" "All I do is get rescued from the sea..." "So, you're piloting it..." "You've gotten better." "Not as good as you." "Hey..." "HEY!" "He is calling for you." "Go to him now..." "Thank you." "It doesn't hurt anymore..." "No more cold..." "No more loneliness..." "If we don't stop this, it'll be a slaughter for both sides." "Pawns killing other pawns." "No different from any of the old wars!" "You son of a...!" "I don't know what you picked up from the enemy but the operation's already started!" "We can't stop it now!" "They're a lot smarter than you think they are!" "Mutio's people are starting to leave for the Antarctic!" "They've seen our attack coming for a long time!" "What?" "Then what are you saying we should do?" "Zorndyke..." "Meet Zorndyke and find out what he's really after!" "It's not to late to stop us from fighting to the death!" "If we don't, this war will never really be over." "Land and sea, each side fiighting the other forever." "That's what Katsuma said!" "And now I understand." "But this operation is being put on by every country on Earth." "Our opinion isn't going to change anything." "That's why..." "That's why I'm asking YOU to do this." "Commander Iga..." "Incoming!" "Sonar contacts!" "Multiple bio-motors closing!" "It's the Ghost Ship!" "You see that, people?" "!" "They killed our comrade, Red Spot!" "Kill them all!" "Burn away all traces of the humans!" "None of this talk matters." "Both sides demand blood and the only paths left are life or death." "One or the other." "Message to all ships!" "Ahead full, combat speed!" "Break out of the enemies encircling us!" "Ahead full on main and auxiliary drives!" "Defend the nukes, even if it takes every ship we have!" "This is it!" "We fight to the death!" "Blue Submarine No. 6." "Final episode: "Minasoko"."
