I know Lillian's really gone

You're right, she is.
But she can live on forever
all because of you.
You bought this piece of her

However, I'll make this
one promise to you, okay?
I will protect this final song
by using the power of science.
I swear on my life.

To bring more of Tsukasa's

I'll need this record,
which means I've gotta protect

Sounds like you'd give your
life to preserve the song.

So I'd say we're on

[TAIJU yells]
[YUZURIHA]
Thanks so much, Nikki!
[TAIJU]
We did it!
It took a year, but we've
finally got ourselves
a real ally in the
Tsukasa empire!
[BOTH groan]
Senku, Gen! Pay attention!
Your scheme to convert
the Tsukasa army
with the diva's sweet
voice isn't bad,
but there's one big flaw.
I've graded your Lilian
impersonation, which is crucial.
Fifty-five!
Wow! That's pretty harsh, ma'am!
Gotta take the input of
a super-fan seriously.
Leave it to me, though.
Once I help you brush up, no
one'll tell the difference.
[SENKU] All right then,
sounds like a plan to me!
[GEN] Oh, man, this
is gonna be utal-bray!
Don't forget I'm
on your side now,
so I'll take good care of you.
We're not in the clear, though.
There's one major obstacle.
I'm sure you guys know
how strong Tsukasa is,
but he's not our only worry.
He's surrounded himself with
some really powerful people.
It must be a part of his
grandiose vision for the world.
Because he's gathered lots
of very capable folks
from all over.
I mean, they don't all
worship at his feet
or anything like that,
but once they get a taste
of his power and charisma,
they'll pretty much do
whatever he asks of them
without question.
Inside his inner circle,
there are clearly two
guys at the very top.
I guess you could call them
his "right and left arms,"
but in any case, he considers
them his most capable allies.
You've already had a
run-in with one of them.
That's Hyoga.
[NIKKI] Yeah. But our problem's
gonna be the other guy.
The greatest obstacle to our
plan is definitely... Ukyo.
Ukyo, huh?
The bow and arrow guy.
Yeah.
If we just play that same
record over and over again,
well, let's just say it won't
exactly be music to his ears.
Even if we play it over the
phone, we're not gonna fool him.
He'll notice something's up.
Right, okay then.
So if we play it a bunch,
we're in trouble.
[gasps]
Then we'll just have to not play
it a bunch of times, huh?
[YUZURIHA, NIKKI gasp]
Taiju! Look at you,
using your brain!
Nice job! Way to go!
Yeah, he's got a point.
Instead of trying to fool
them one by one,
maybe we should
do it as a group!
When Ukyo's not around.
Who's Ukyo?
He's a former sonar
operator on a submarine.
He's got azy-cray good hearing.
Which is why Tsukasa
woke him up.
Matter of fact, he had Chrome
and Magma pinned down
when I came back.
I really hope they
made it out safely.
Chrome. I'll see to it that
your death was not in vain.
Shut up, man! I'm not dead yet!
The guy didn't land a
single damn hit on me!
[MAGMA laughs]
Wow, you're still alive, huh?
You went so pale and stiff,
I was sure you'd croaked.
No, I just got kinda
freaked out and shut down.
Because my ally used
me as a meat shield!
But thanks to you,
I know exactly where he is.
That punk Ukyo's gonna pay!
[MAGMA yells]
Get back here, you big dummy!
[CHROME] The arrows are
coming from all directions.
He's been moving around so we
can't pinpoint his location.
The guy used our smoke
screen to his advantage.
Ukyo's bad for sure.
Big, loud, and stupid
Magma's no match for him!
[MAGMA]
Huh?
[gasps]
Okay. There you are!
[CHROME]
Think scientifically.
If he can sh**t at me from
practically any direction,
that means he has a complete
spatial understanding
of where I am due to his
bad sense of hearing.
If that's the case, why did
he barely miss every sh*t?
It's not just because
we're so lucky.
Heh. It must be because you
don't want us dead, huh, Uyko?
You're not even
trying to k*ll us.
You're trying to catch
and interrogate us.
[CHROME]
So that means...
[CHROME]
...if I wanna make sure
that we all get
outta here alive,
then this is what I gotta do!
Aw, damn it, Chrome.
Where the hell are you?
Uh.
[CHROME whistling]
[MAGMA growling]
[MAGMA]
You stupid bastard!
[UKYO chuckles]
You know what? Forget the rope.
What're you doing?
We both know that you're
not gonna run away.
I mean, you did raise
the white flag, after all.
You were trying to
save your friends
with that maneuver, weren't you?
The big brute and the
one who took off?
After all of that smoke cleared,
I would've had no choice
but to sh**t the meathead.
[UKYO]
Yep, I was right.
He's not out for blood.
He wants information.
[UKYO] Pretty impressive
decision-making
in the heat of the moment.
You should consider it a win.
[CHROME]
Uh. Yeah, you don't say?
[CHROME]
No! No, no, no, no.
He's trying to flatter
me so I'll talk!
Bad! I am not fallin'
for that crap!
[CHROME whistling]
[UKYO]
Okay, we're here.
I know who you are
Yeah. No introduction needed.
'Cause I could tell right away.
You've got a different aura.
So, we finally meet in person.
I've heard a lot
about you. Tsukasa!
Ha. I like your spirit, man.
You're one of Senku's
new friends, aren't you?
Oh, yeah! You're
damn right I am!
My name's Chrome. I'm a
scientist from Ishigami Village!
Someone's here.
[KINRO gasps]
Oh, no!
You mean Chrome really got
caught by the Tsukasa empire?
Well, what's the plan now, twig?
[yells]
[RURI]
Kohaku!
She can't rescue
him all by herself!
Always ready to fly into action.
Stop Kohaku!
How would we do that?
She's the fastest one
in the whole village!
Nobody's gonna catch her!
[SENKU] Get back here!
Right now, lioness!
I'm not a lioness!
[OTHERS]
Whoa! She stopped!
Father, let me go!
[KOKUYO]
Don't be a fool!
You think you can charge into
enemy territory all by yourself?
[KOHAKU]
Ugh! I gotta do something!
We can't abandon Chome;
he's one of us!
[chuckles]
[SENKU]
If she can't do it on her own,
then how about all
of us go together?
[ALL gasp]
We all go?
The kingdom of science
is mobilizing our army.
Now that Homura the scout
has been taken care of,
there's no reason for us
to wait any longer.
So let's move out and set up
camp near the Tsukasa empire.
From there, we'll
have a better sh*t
at bringing Chrome
back in one piece.
[ALL chattering]
This is so scary.
I don't wanna go near the
Tsuskasa empire, you guys!
Hey, how about we just hold our
ground here and wait instead?
That's not a bad strategy, huh?
Winter will be over
in a couple of weeks.
If we just sit here and wait,
they'll march on over
and wipe us out.
She's right. Offense is our best
defense in this situation.
I know! I thought
the same thing, too!
Oh, really, Ginro?
Are you planning to bring all
the science gear with us, Senku?
Odds are ten billion
to one without it.
We'll need everything we've got
if we wanna get Chrome back
and then go on to
defeat Tsukasa.
But all this stuff's so heavy.
If we can't carry it
there, what then?
[chuckles]
Not gonna be an issue.
[GEN]
Huh?
There's no way!
[chuckles]
We're gonna make a car!
[GEN]
Here we go! Eriously-say?
[SENKU]
Heh. Get excited, everyone!
[GEN] Yeah, I mean,
of course I'm excited,
but I'm amazed how you
can still manage to have
this kind of fun given
the circumstances.
[KASEKI]
Woo-hoo!
Is that some kind of crazy
schematic? Or what?
[SUIKA] There are so many lines,
and circles, and triangles,
it's making my head spin!
[GEN] I don't think I've seen
you get this excited, Senku.
[SENKU laughs]
Well, I've never built
a full-size car,
but this is like a giant Mini
four-wheel drive model.
All right, we're
gonna go with this.
It's like, ten billion
times more primitive
than what I used to use
in my old model rockets,
but it'll work for what we need.
It'll run on a wobbler engine!
[OTHERS whimper]
Just gotta throw this
in some boiling water.
Honeycomb.
Yeah, the honeycomb saga.
We had to gather it in order to
make plastic for the cell phone.
[GEN] And got att*cked by a ton
of bess. It was the orst-way.
We looked like human
marshmallows after that,
and then we ended up not even
using it for the plastic,
so it felt even orse-way.
[SENKU chuckles]
[SENKU] It was just a byproduct
of gathering honey, anyway.
We didn't need it
because we ended up
with a simpler shape
for our cell phone.
But our parts this time around
are gonna be way more complex.
Your sacrifice wasn't in vain.
Boiling that honeycomb down
into a block gives us beeswax.
Uh. Like, a candle?
[SENKU] It's also what
you use to make crayons
and lipstick and stuff.
[GEN] Huh? And we're gonna
make an engine out of it?
[KASEKI]
Woo-hoo!
This spinny doohickey makes
the carving go nice and smooth!
[SENKU] It's a waterwheel lathe.
Basically, a rotating cutter.
We'll make our intricate
parts with this.
But the wax just seems so
fragile and brittle to me.
Will it really work?
Yeah, won't be a
millimeter of trouble.
We'll use plaster to form a mold
around the parts
we make from wax.
And then, pour melted
brass into the mold.
[GEN] Ah, so we aren't
actually using wax parts.
Should've been obvious.
Do we really have to tear down
the nice stove Senku
made for us?
I realize winter will be over
soon, but what's he need it for?
I don't have a clue.
Senku says he wants it
for something, though.
[KOHAKU]
He was so happy about it,
then he said something like,
"Science is all
about recycling!"
Whatever that means.
[RURI] Not sure, but I can
picture him saying it.
[SENKU] We're putting the
whole stove on the car.
Pretty simple, really.
Just heat up some water
and you've got steam.
[KASEKI]
Mh-hm. Mh-hm.
See, Kaseki.
We're gonna attach the
little part you just built
right there on the end.
The steam'll push it downward.
Works like a reverse pump.
[KASEKI]
Mh-hm! Mh-hm! Mh-hm! Mh-hm!
[SENKU] Put that reverse
pump onto a disc
and it'll push, turn, and pull.
That's the wobbler engine!
--[KASEKI yells]
--[SENKU chuckles]
You guys are having the time
of your lives over there,
aren't you?
Looks to me like
they totally forgot
that the whole point
of building this thing
was so we could move
everyone closer
to enemy territory
and rescue Chrome.
[chuckles] Don't worry about it,
'cause Tsukasa's guys
probably all think
Chrome's just a wimpy villager.
I'm sure they're taking good
care of him as a hostage.
As long as he keeps his
mouth shut, he'll be fine.
[KOHAKU]
But it's Chrome.
"As long as he keeps his
mouth shut, he'll be fine"?
But it's Chrome.
She said it twice.
Hm?
[SENKU]
Let's pick up the pace.
[KASEKI chuckles nervously]
[KASEKI]
We've got a lotta work to do.
[MEN chattering]
[MAN A]
What's up? What's goin' on?
[MAN B]
The top three guys are in there.
Ukyo. Hyoga. And Tsukasa.
[MAN A] Who's the dude
with the headband?
So why did you make the decision
to tell me that
you're a scientist?
Senku must've explained
the situation,
so I'm sure that you know
that was quite a risky move.
You bet I do!
And I know that you're
a science-hating jerk.
Sounds like you need to be
taught a lesson to me.
And I... can teach you
how cool science is!
I hope you're ready!
'Cause first... we've
got rainbow flames!
[CHROME]
Crap, I messed up. Like bad.
I should've pitched ramen
or cotton candy first.
[HYOGA] Would you like
to tell us what really
brings a scientist
like you here?
Of course, if you don't,
you'll just end up dead.
[CHROME] I can't tell them I
came here to bring a cell phone.
This is it.
I'm really gonna die.
This is bad!
Now, Chrome, it's not
that I'm completely opposed
to a scientific civilization.
I mean, we have fire and
tools here, of course.
Those are excellent
ways to use science.
But you have no idea
how things were before.
The world I lived in was
tainted by powerful forces
who used weapons of science
for unspeakable crimes.
It's why we need restraint.
Our miraculous and beautiful
world was purified by someone--
for some reason--
and now Senku is trying
to tarnish it once again.
[HYOGA]
This is a golden opportunity.
The perfect time for you
to join us, Chrome.
[TSUKASA]
If you bring us Senku's head,
I promise you'll have
all the colored fire
and science tricks
to keep you happy.
Plus, my guarantee that all
the people in your village
will be safe.
[CHROME]
Hmm, well...
That sounds a hell of
a lot better than dying.
That is what you want
me to say, right?
Just drop me. Hurry it up.
[HYOGA]
So be it.
[TSUKASA]
Even in the face of death,
he never flinched
or lost conviction.
[yells]
[CHROME]
A bridge?
There's no point in
pushing him any further.
He won't turn, for neither
carrot nor stick.
[HYOGA] Then it seems
we'll just have to guess
as to why he's come here.
Ukyo, where did you
find him again?
[CHROME]
Oh, man.
Ukyo knows we were up to
something at the gravesite.
It won't take long for
them to go check it out
and find the cell phone.
Damn it, this is bad.
sh*t! We're screwed! sh*t!
He was at the miracle cave, just
scouting it out all by himself.
I'll bet he's after
the nitric acid.
[CHROME]
What's going on?
Not that I don't wanna live,
but why would he lie
to Hyoga and Tsukasa?
Man. I've got a bad feeling
about this Ukyo guy.
Is he trying to start a
revolution or something?
Like, take over
the Tsukasa empire?
[ALL gasping]
It's just a big model kit.
All we gotta do to assemble
it is weld it together.
Ho-oh!
Whoa. What is this thing?
[GINRO]
Whoa!
Yay! Now all of us can
go and rescue Chrome!
It's like we built a living
creature. It's incredible!
[laughs] "A living
creature," huh?
She's never seen an object
that moves on its own.
It makes sense to me.
[GEN]
It's finally here!
We're in... the
Industrial Revolution!
The kingdom of science railway
line is up and running.
Now full steam ahead.
[SENKU]
Straight to the Tsukasa empire.
