Children of the Whales (2017) s01e09 Episode Script
I Want To See Where Your Choice Leads
1 Ignorant and purposeless, worth less than the dust beneath our feet That is who you sinners of Falaina truly are.
Masoo, are you okay? I'm just fine.
Damn, I didn't expect it to progress this quickly.
Guys, we're counting on you.
The rest of us are hitting our limit.
Hey, old man! They'll see you! Masoo, that's dangerous! Kuchiba! She was always devoted to others.
All she wished was for the people of our island to live happily.
She even sacrificed herself for that happiness Can you understand the weight of that life? She wasn't She wasn't someone the likes of you had any right to kill! What the hell are you doing, you dumbass beanpole?! D-Dumbass beanpole? Don't get in my way! You wanna throw your life away, old man?! Shut up! You shut up! You can't even use thymia! What?! Unseemly.
How unseemly.
Humans with emotions are always full of resentment and rage.
How very unseemly.
What's wrong with being unseemly? What's more Someone who kills people with their face hidden has no right to say that! It's a child.
What's wrong? Can't you kill me? I'll take revenge for Lady Taisha.
Just stop.
Please! I wonder what my daughter would be like by now if she were alive.
Pagoni.
Ouni! The daimons of Falaina I suppose they were just a superstition.
Worthless.
Give me that.
You, more worthless than the dust above the sands, just disappear! Even I understand that much! We're trapped on a tiny island and don't know anything about the world! We can't change anything! That's who we are! But I'll escape that mud boat! So don't get in my way, you baldie! Ouni! You guys can't stop us! We're the bowel moles! Bring it on! When Ouni and me are together, we're the strongest! Don't you ever look down on us again! Ouni?! Are you okay, Ouâ Why are you hesitating before these rats? Finish them off already.
We were alwaâ together.
Ou Nibi? I'll take you to the outside world! Thymia?! How? It's impossible! An aura in the nous passage? Ouni! Nibi! Chakuro, look out! A daimon Lykos! Chakuro! Th-This mustn't be allowed to happen That's it it's because we broke the taboo! It's all Orka's fault! He caused the daimon to awaken! Hey, Mojamoja! What's with all this? How should I know?! Chakki Lykos! Lykos, are you okay? Ouni! Ouni, where are you? Nibi! I was scared you'd leave me behind, but I guess it ended up being the other way around.
Nibi! Sorry, but you can't.
I can't let you on this boat.
Buki Aijiro You know this feels kinda weird.
It's kind of embarrassing seeing you like this.
It's the first time I've seen you cry.
Nibi Nibi! Hey About how you thought our lives wouldn't have any meaning unless we left the Mud Whale I used to agree with you.
But the truth is More than you probably thought well I was content.
Living on that island while yearning for the outside world, looking at the same sky and sea as you every day Even just that was the best! That's not it.
It was me who lacked meaning.
If I hadn't met them If I hadn't been with you I would never have found a reason to live! Ouni I'll always be waiting for you.
Show it to me.
Cut through the sandstorm and show me the world beyond! Nibi Nibi! Nibi! Ouni! Hey.
I'm Olivines.
Olivines? Archivist of Falaina, let's make a deal.
Huh? Offer all the emotions of the people on your island to the great nous Anthropos.
If you can promise me that, I'll give you this, one of Anthropos' kokalo.
Ema lives on Falaina.
If the kokalo and Ema are brought together, Falaina will be able to advance to a new stage.
I don't really understand.
I have to get back to the Mud Whale with Lykos and Ouni.
What is this? Chakuro, does it hurt? The reason we feel pain is because our heads are saying it hurts.
Everyone is led astray by that pain, damaged, and compelled to make mistakes.
But what if we could slightly change things and make it go away? It's very simple.
Just an alteration of the heart's records.
From all the emotions that the nous has sucked out from different people, we share only the pleasant fragments and make them seem like they truly belong to you.
Hey, over here! How about it? Doesn't it feel as if this emotion was born of your own heart? Lykos! How about it? You can submerge yourself in this utterly fulfilling world forever.
I know.
It must've hurt so much up to now, children of the whale.
Let's rewrite your sorrowful story with the power of the nous.
Rewrite the painful records? Sinners of Falaina, I want to grant you salvation.
Then Then what about our memories of everyone? Where will they go? Sami, Lady Taisha, Nibi, and everyone else are gone.
Even so, they were all here with us.
That itself is the proof that they lived.
I can't forget them.
The pain and suffering and everything else are the records of our lives.
Why are you giving me this? I can't keep our promise.
It's fine.
I want to see where your choice leads.
Carry on, sinners of Falaina, to a new world! Let's go, Lykos! 93 Sand Era.
Seventeenth day of the seventh month.
The sandstorm that began that morning started to wane in the evening.
As we were planning our escape from Skylos, the winds, as if to contrast the collapsing ship, were calm.
It was very painful to have to leave our fallen comrades behind.
However, engraving their memories into our hearts, we vowed never to forget them, and departed at last.
Unaccustomed to fighting as we were, we willfully took up arms and rebelled against our fates.
Fighting was the only recourse available to protect our paradise.
Staring into the dried ocean remains kawaita umi no ato nozonde Imagining a river that may have flowed mada minu taiga wo egaku If my heart had remained imprisoned toraware no kokoro no mama nara Many of our friends died and returned to the Sand Ocean.
I wished only to write everything down as proof of their lives.
I could have lived unaware of this pain konna itami mo shirazu ni ita But then they came speaking of such beauty utsukushii kotoba wo tsugeta hito As a survivor, and as the archivist, that was my reason for living.
