02x10 - The Emperor and the Hanged Man, Part 1

[bunniefuu]

Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore...

So the Indian leg of our journey
is finally upon us...

But, well, I'm a little worried.

I've always heard India
is the land of curry

and rampant disease.

I'm worried my stomach won't
be able to handle the culture gap.

That assessment is rather distorted.

You needn't worry.

It is a beautiful country
with wonderful people.

That I assure you.

Well, this is Calcutta. Let's get going.

Hey, give me a tip!

Let me carry that for you!

Want a tattoo? You're very pretty.

Need some anti-venom?
It won't hurt your stomach.

Let me show you my hotel!

Calcutta, India.

In the th century,
its population reached million.

Calcutta buzzes with a bustling energy

that will pull you in
and never let you go!

-I stepped in a pile of cow shit!
-I don't need any.

-Damn it!
-I don't need any.

-Somebody's already stolen my wallet!
-Seriously, thank you, but no!

Tip! Tip! Tip!

If you don't give me a tip,
you won't go to heaven, sir.

Hey! Don't rub your nose
all over my stuff!

Avdol! So this is India?

See? Great country, isn't it?

They're what make India great,
don't you think?

EPISODE TEN: THE EMPEROR
AND THE HANGED MAN, PART ONE

Here, try this.

This is chai.

I think you'll find it to your liking.

Chai.

One of India's most popular drinks.

A sweet concoction of

black tea, sugar, ginger, and milk.

At last, a little peace.

Be patient with India.

Once you get used to it, you'll see
how wonderful this country is.

You know, I kinda like this place.
It's pretty cool.

What, Jotaro? You can't be serious?

Talk about culture shock.

Guess I'll like it
once I get used to it, huh?

Well, I suppose people adapt to
their surroundings eventually.

Where's the john?

Right over there, sir.

Polnareff.

Yeah?

What do you want to eat?

Pick for me.

It'd better be something amazing.

Something gorgeous and sophisticated

that suits a Frenchman like moi.

Which means it doesn't matter.

Let's see, something he'll like...

Excuse me.

Pardon me, sir, one moment...

Huh?

If you could please use this.

What's this wooden stick for?

Hey.

That's a weird looking toilet,
but at least it's clean.

A gentleman like myself simply
cannot tolerate a dirty bathroom.

Sir, is something wrong?

Don't "Is something wrong?" me!

The toilet...

The toilet...

There's a pig in the toilet!

This kind of toilet is rare even in India.

The builders constructed
the pig pen down below

higher than they were supposed to.

So when the pigs gets hungry,
they come up for more.

That's not what I'm aski...

No, wait, what?

You're telling me this pig's food is...

That's what it's there for?

As I mentioned, sir, use this.

Here...

See? Now you can do your business
while the pig's knocked down.

Our manager gets the pig
to lick his buttocks

and always sings his praises.

He gets it so clean.

Please, take your time.

Wait! Don't leave me in here alone!

I don't think I could ever
get used to this...

Guess I'll hold it
till we get to the hotel.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Crap.

Where is he?

Weird... I could've sworn
I saw someone out there.

Must've been my imagination.

Guess I shouldn't be surprised.

I mean, I did just see a pig in the john.

Of course I'd imagine
a monster in the window.

So this is what they mean
by culture shock here.

What?

What the hell?

I can see this damn thing
only in the mirror!

This must be the mirror Stand
Jotaro was talking about.

This is not good.

This is so not good!

Silver Chariot!

Where'd that bastard go?

Damn it!

Stand!

Where's the user? Who is it?

The man with two right hands...

Too many people...

Damn it!

What's wrong, Polnareff?

What is this about?

If that...

If that was a Stand, then that means...

Then that means he's here!

Jotaro! It's the Stand user
you heard about—

the one who uses the mirrors!

The bastard who k*lled my sister!

The scum who heartlessly trampled

my sister's life, soul, and dignity.

Finally... Finally we meet!

Are you sure it's him?

Mr. Joestar, I'll be traveling
on my own from here on out.

What?

With my sister's m*rder*r
finally within reach,

I'll be damned if I'm going to
wait for him to come after me.

It would put me at a disadvantage,
and that's just not my style.

I'll find him first and k*ll him!

But we don't even know what he looks like,

or what his Stand is.

He's got two right hands,
that's enough for me!

And he knows I'm after him,

so he'll be on the defensive.

See ya.

Tough talk from a man
who's digging his own grave.

And that means?

Just as it sounds, my friend.

Are you trying to say I can't win?

Yes.

Can't you see?
The enemy att*cked to isolate you!

I won't let you go it alone, Polnareff.

Listen. Let me make one thing clear:

I never once gave a damn about Dio.

I told you in Hong Kong I'd tag along
so I could get my revenge.

Mr. Joestar and Jotaro already know this.

I've been alone from the start!

I've always been fighting alone!

You selfish fool!

Did you forget that Dio brainwashed you?

Did you forget that
he's the root of all this?

You have no idea how it feels
to have your sister m*rder*d!

I heard the last time you met Dio,

you ran like a dog with
his tail between his legs!

A coward like you would never
understand why I need to do this!

What did you say?

Don't touch me.

You got lucky that day
you beat me in Hong Kong.

Enough with this lecturing!

How dare you...

Oh, did that offend you?

Don't forget...

I'm a hell of a lot more pissed off
than you right now!

You can just keep being yourself,

with your holier
than thou attitude, Avdol.

Why, you!

Mr. Joestar!

That's enough. Just let him go.

No one can stop him now.

I've lost all respect for him, that's all.

My impression of him was completely wrong.

I did indeed run in fear from him.

But I'm certain that foresight
will let us win.

Rushing in without thinking
will get us all k*lled.

Oh?

Then I'll say this with certainty, too.

Your little divination will be wrong.

Time to get off.

I'm here to see a friend of mine.

You're on your own from here.

Please, make me your wife.

My life will belong to you.

Just say whatever you wish of me, my love.

Please, let me stay by your side forever.

Baby, don't be stupid.
You're still sixteen.

I'm old enough to marry.

I love you.

Listen. I'm just a no-good drifter, baby.

I live each day like it's my last,
and one day, it will be my last.

You have royal blood.

We can't have a fairy-tale marriage.

No matter how much we love each other.

Really?

So you do love me?

Yep. You're my one and only, hun.

That's exactly why...

It's 'cause I love you
that we can't marry.

You understand, don't you?

This breaks my heart just as
much as it breaks yours.

But I'll come back to see you and
hold you like this whenever I can.

That's enough to make me happy.

Yes...

So long. Love ya, darling.

You know, it's bad manners to eavesdrop.

You think I spend too much time
on romance, don't ya?

When you've got girls like her all
over the world at your beck and call...

you've always got a partner, an ally.

They'd do anything for me,
even throw away their own lives.

You are aware of how I work, aren't you,

Mr. Centerfold?

By the way, about this Polnareff
of the Silver Chariot.

Seems he left the group and
is looking for you on his own.

What do you wanna do?

He totally fell for your plan,
hook, line, and sinker.

Shall we go and k*ll him first?

Let's go.

Between your Hanged Man and my Emperor,

I have no doubt we can k*ll 'em all.

HANGED MAN
CENTERFOLD

So he really did leave us after all.

What?

You've seen him?

You sure you saw a man
with two right hands?

Where?

Huh?

I don't understand. He was right there.

What?

There, he was with that man in the street.

The g*n is mightier than the sword.

Not bad, if I do say so myself.

Who the hell are you?

Hol Horse. That's what they call me.

I'm a Stand user,
and my card is the Emperor.

I've been paid good money
by Dio to rub you guys out.

Look here, cowboy, I don't give
a rat's ass who you say you are.

Where's the man with two right hands?

That was rude.
You asked who I am, so I answered.

Well, whatever.

I came here with that guy.

He's nearby.

What?

Where is he?

There's really no point
in your asking that.

I, Hol Horse, will have
the pleasure of snuffing you out.

Morons like you always talk trash,

and it always ends up
the other way around.

Oh? Was that funny?

Lord Dio had you pegged:

"Polnareff has the fatal habit of
underestimating his opponents.

Beating him into a corpse
won't be any trouble for you."

He was exactly right,
so I couldn't help but laugh.

If I have to take you out to get to him,

then that's exactly what I'll do.

Bring it.

Ever heard of military chess?

The t*nk is stronger than the soldier,

and tanks are weak against mines.

See, it's pretty much
the basics of battle.

My Emperor is stronger than you,
so I thought I'd be a gentleman.

I'll fill you in on my Stand's
abilities before we fight.

The g*n is mightier than the sword.

Such a brilliant quote.

What are you trying to say, exactly?

That I have a Stand that sh**t.

And a sword simply can't beat that.

So, what? A pea sh**t?

-Prepare to die!
-Prepare to die!

You underestimated me, Polnareff!

And now, you're dead!

If I take off my armor...

I can knock down a b*llet!

What?

That's impossible! It bypassed my sword!

Oh crap!

The b*llet is also my Stand.

And that cocky attitude
just cost you your life!

Polnareff!

Wha... Avdol!

I came here because
I was worried about you,

and what do I find?

Your ego will be
the end of you, Polnareff.

You were worried about me?

Damn you!
You came here to lecture me again?

The enemy already knows
everything about you!

You said you're a loner,

but from now on,
you can't win on your own!

What bad timing for
an outsider to interfere.

Out of the way, Polnareff!
The b*llet's coming back!

Magician's Red!

I'll melt it down!

Damn that Avdol!
He went after Polnareff himself.

Where are you, Mr. Avdol? Polnareff?

I have a terrible feeling...

Hey, there's a weird fight
going on over there.

The puddle...

What?

Mr. Avdol!

Man, today must be my day.

My g*n and Centerfold's mirror
are weak against Aldol's fire

I figured Avdol would be
the toughest one to k*ll.

Talk about luck!

Looks like no more threats
in this game of military chess!

Mr. Avdol!

He's just hurt...

It's just a minor wound.

See? He's going to start speaking...

He'll open his eyes in a moment.

Right, Mr. Avdol?

You're going to wake up, right?

Mr. Avdol, you gotta wake up!

Please! Mr. Avdol!

That seemed awfully easy.

It was too quick!

That's what he gets for lecturing people.

Look at him now.

What did you say, Polnareff?

Mr. Avdol was worried about you!

Who asked him for help?

He likes to meddle
in other people's business,

but he's slow as hell, so they got him.

Guys like him just get in the way...

That's why I said I was going it alone.

You bastard...

He saved your life. How dare you...

I am sick of it!

Having people up and die on me...

Polnareff...

I'm so sick of it, you hear me!

He's got a bold face,
and yet he died so easily.

Come to think of it,
she was really good at sobbing...

Your sister, that is.

Are you telling me to hold back?

Don't fall for the enemy's provocation!

Mr. Avdol told you
not to fight by yourself!
