Let's go wherever we want, Carrying something that's more certain than the words, SAIL AWAY FOR THE FUTURE right away Something unknown is waiting for us Throw away all your worries and COME TOGETHER JUST THINK OF TOMORROW. DIRECTOR: Mashimo Kouichi TAILOR Let's go! EPISODE 4: The enemy! We're in a pinch! We surrender! NOTES: (M) stands for monologue (F) stands for flashback * -sama/-san: Honorific suffixes. (-san < -sama) ANDRESEN I see. So both the captain and the first officer are healthy as ever. ANDRESEN Then we'll have to use our last resort. YAMAMOTO Captain, unless you take back such irresponsible orders immediately, we'll be in big trouble. TAILOR Did I say something wrong? YAMAMOTO Don't you remember? You told those veteran punks to do whatever they want. TAILOR Ah, now that you mention it...yes, I did. YAMAMOTO Captain, there is no telling what they'll do if we let them have their own way. YAMAMOTO Anyway, please take back your words. TAILOR Dismissed. YAMAMOTO Then at least order them to stop quarreling inside the hangar. TAILOR Also dismissed. YAMAMOTO But then... TAILOR Dismissed. TAILOR It feels so great to be the captain. Yamamoto-kun, I hope you'll also get promoted soon. KIM I see. There is no way the first officer can cancel the captain's orders. EMI/YUMI Tailor-sama has a higher rank than than Yamamoto-sama. EMI/YUMI Yamamoto-sama has a lower rank than Tailor-sama. YURIKO (M) The captain doesn't know the true horror of this ship... YURIKO (M) hat this ship is the garbage scow of the UPSF that no captain can stand for more than three days. KOJIRO Shit! KOJIRO I'm not at my best when my feet stay on the ground. KOJIRO Wait! CRYBURN The traditional battle between the Marine Corps and the pilots is over for now. CRYBURN Because a delightful show will start soon. KOJIRO "A delightful show"? TAILOR Coup d'etat? YAMAMOTO Because of your thoughtless and irresponsible speech, the veterans onboard this ship revolted. KOJIRO So that's what Cryburn meant by a delightful show. EMI/YUMI What shall we do? EMI/YUMI I don't have any idea, either. KIM Because Tailor told them to do whatever they want, they really started doing what they want. YURIKO What are you going to do, Captain? TAILOR It looks interesting. Perhaps we can join the Coup d'etat, too. YURIKO Captain Tailor, they're revolting AGAINST you. YURIKO You are their enemy. TAILOR The enemy? TAILOR I'm not their enemy. YAMAMOTO Captain! It's this kind of irresponsible attitude that caused this situation. ANDRESEN Go! We'll seize control of the bridge and take over the ship. DOCTOR I didn't expect to run out of anesthetics before we reached the battle zone. DOCTOR In this case, I'll have to resort to a classical anesthetic method. DOCTOR But still it would be a terrible waste. YAMAMOTO Captain, I recommend that you grant permission for Class 1 armament to all the crew members on the bridge. TAILOR What the hell is Class 1 armament? YAMAMOTO Anyway, we'll have to fight them to protect law and order of the military. YURIKO Please wait. YAMAMOTO Lt. Commander Star. YURIKO We should avoid conflict. It would be terrible if soldiers of the UPSF were to fight each other. YURIKO I think we should try to resolve this peacefully through conversation. YAMAMOTO They are not the type of people who'll listen to reason. YURIKO No, we should be able to reach a peaceful solution if we try to understand each other. TAILOR Lt. Commander Star, you look so wonderful when you put your heart into your work. TAILOR I'm the happiest guy in the universe to be onboard the same ship with you. Really. TAILOR Ouch! TAILOR Why did you do that when I was only holding your hand? You're so cruel. YURIKO Captain Tailor, you have no right to be called captain, no, you don't even have the right to be called a human being! KIM It's a message from Lt. Andresen. KIM I'll put it on the monitor. TAILOR Yes, please. ANDRESEN Hello there, Captain. ANDRESEN We'll be dropping in on you shortly to have some fun. Don't you want to surrender now? TAILOR Surrender? That wouldn't be too bad, either. YAMAMOTO Captain! YAMAMOTO Please listen. I understand how disillusioned you are in the captain to revolt against him. YAMAMOTO But you're clearly violating the regulations. And regulations are absolute for a soldier. Please obey the regulations and put down your weapons. ANDRESEN Regulations? You gotta be kidding! ANDRESEN Do you think you can win a war by following regulations? CRYBURN What is needed for battle is strength. CRYBURN Only those with strength win the right to live. YURIKO That's NOT true. YURIKO What we need to win this war is LOVE! YURIKO We may be able to defeat even the Rarlgon in we fight together with love. YURIKO Come on, please throw down your weapons. ANDRESEN Talk things out? This is great. TAILOR Why can't they be more relaxed? It's just a war. TAILOR Say, Yamamoto-kun. Can you tell me how to use this? YAMAMOTO Duck! TAILOR What the? YAMAMOTO It's the warp drive. Disengage immediately. KATORI I can't. We won't make it in time. YAMAMOTO The target coordinates? KATORI I don't know. The coordinates haven't been entered. YAMAMOTO A random warp? YAMAMOTO We don't know where we will warp out... YURIKO If we warp out in a city on some planet, it'll result in the deaths of millions, no BILLIONS of people of people... TAILOR Why do you guys always think so negative? TAILOR Who knows? We might arrive at a planet with nice climate, delicious food and tons of babes. YAMAMOTO Captain, you really are... KATORI We'll enter warp space in 15 seconds. YAMAMOTO All hands, brace for space-time impact. YAMAMOTO We're alive? TAILOR Told you. Things don't always turn out bad. KIM Captain, I detect an energy response. KIM I'll put it on the monitor. TAILOR Uh-oh. YAMAMOTO A Rarlgon fleet... RARLGON CAPTAIN Standby to fire. KATORI We cannot avoid them, sir. KIM I'm sending out an SOS call using the emergency channel. EMI/YUMI We're doomed. Father! YURIKO Captain. YAMAMOTO Captain. TAILOR What shall I do? EYECATCH ANDRESEN Where are you going? KOJIRO I'm not gonna die like this. If I'm gonna die anyway, I'm going to die in my cockpit. CRYBURN I'm not gonna let the pilots have all the glory. CRYBURN Chief. ANDRESEN I guess we'll have to charge into the enemy ship. YAMAMOTO (M) They fought among themselves but a moment ago, yet they work in harmony before the true enemy. Those are the acts of true soldiers of the UPSF. YAMAMOTO Everyone, your attention, please. While we will surely die here, our deaths won't be in vain. The name of the destroyer Soyokaze will enter into history as the first ship to open fire against the Rarlgon Empire. TAILOR Let's surrender! YAMAMOTO Captain, what did you say? TAILOR We're going to surrender. TAILOR Even if we attack them, we'll only get trashed. YAMAMOTO But what about the pride of the United Planets Space Force...? TAILOR I don't give a damn about pride. TAILOR It won't be fun if we die, so let's surrender. YAMAMOTO Captain, do you have some kind of plan in mind? TAILOR It'll come out alright. TAILOR Lt. Kyung-Hwa Kim, prepare to send a letter to the enemy ship. KIM Roger. YAMAMOTO How can he be so calm and confident before the enemy fleet? YAMAMOTO Does he have a plan after all? RARLGON CAPTAIN Unconditional surrender? RARLGON SOLDIER Yes, sir, We have just received the message. RARLGON CAPTAIN Surrender... RARLGON CAPTAIN It's a concept unique to humans...something that we can't comprehend. RARLGON CAPTAIN Hold off the attack. Send a message to the enemy ship that we'll accept their surrender. RARLGON SOLDIER But captain... RARLGON CAPTAIN Shooting down a ragged ship wouldn't do us any good. RARLGON CAPTAIN On the other hand, the enemy ship might prove to be a valuable source of information. RARLGON SOLDIER I see. RARLGON CAPTAIN Transfer control of all weapons to this ship. Link all weapons, so that when this ship fires, all others follow suit. RARLGON SOLDIER Yes, sir. TAILOR Is that clear to all of you? Please be courteous. RARLGON CAPTAIN I see. Now I know why just one ragged ship was wandering around in this battle zone. RARLGON CAPTAIN Looks like there was a rebellion inside the ship. TAILOR Holy! How did you figure that out? TAILOR As expected from a captain of the Rarlgon. RARLGON CAPTAIN I have no intention to talk with a low-rank soldier like you! Who is the captain? TAILOR That's me! RARLGON CAPTAIN YOU are the captain? TAILOR That's right. We are both captains, so let's be friends. RARLGON CAPTAIN Damn you! RARLGON CAPTAIN Are you trying mock us proud warriors of the glorious Rarlgon Empire? TAILOR Not at all. I never meant that. RARLGON CAPTAIN We don't allow those who abandoned the fight to exist. That's common sense to the people of Rarlgon. RARLGON CAPTAIN So hand me the operational guidelines of the United Planets Space Force. YAMAMOTO If we hand that to you, our main fleet will be annihilated. KOJIRO Damn it! RARLGON CAPTAIN Prepare it immediately. TAILOR I can't breathe. I understood. So please let go of me. [COMPUTER SCREEN] Now printing. Please wait for a moment. YAMAMOTO (M) I never imagined that the location of our main fleet would get revealed like this... YAMAMOTO Since it has come to this, I should lay down my life to... ANDRESEN If you're gonna do it, do it when they're about to leave. YAMAMOTO Andresen. ANDRESEN It's obvious that they're going to kill us when they no longer have any use for us. CRYBURN Let me join in, too. KOJIRO If we're gonna die anyway, it's best to die with as many of one's comrades as possible. YAMAMOTO Everyone... RARLGON CAPTAIN We Rarlgon are a race born to fight. RARLGON CAPTAIN Unlike you humans, we never surrender or retreat. RARLGON CAPTAIN Our pursuit in life is "Victory or death". TAILOR I see. RARLGON CAPTAIN Do you know what is necessary for victory? TAILOR No. What is it? RARLGON CAPTAIN It is love, strength and discipline. A nation can only be victorious when the soldiers love their country, when it has the military might and the discipline that can control such strength. TAILOR As expected of the Rarlgon Empire. TAILOR Every crew member on this ship has his or her own way and there is no consensus among them. RARLGON CAPTAIN There is no way that mankind, who cannot even hold together a ship, can defeat us, the Rarlgon Empire. TAILOR You might be right. [COMPUTER SCREEN] Now printing. Please wait for a moment. [COMPUTER SCREEN] Thank you for waiting. RARLGON CAPTAIN Our business here is over. YAMAMOTO Now's the time! ANDRESEN Wait, look at that. TAILOR Please take this as a departing gift. RARLGON CAPTAIN A gift? TAILOR That's right. This is a token of thanks for giving us a valuable lecture. TAILOR We're so happy that we were able to hear a live speech from a Rarlgon warrior, who is an expert of war. TAILOR It's our way of saying thanks for giving us invaluable advice. TAILOR What is your name? TAILOR Just Ueki Tailor, 20 years old. RARLGON CAPTAIN I'll leave your name on record. TAILOR Leave my name on record? You don't have to do that much for me. CRYBURN Isn't that the...? ANDRESEN Y...Yes. KOJIRO So that's why the captain surrendered in the first place... YAMAMOTO It can't be... RARLGON CAPTAIN Open fire as soon as we return to the ship. RARLGON SOLDIER Roger. RARLGON CAPTAIN How foolish of them! To give me a gift without knowing the fate that is awaiting them. RARLGON CAPTAIN We have identified the location of the enemy's main fleet. Victory will be ours. TAILOR Huh? What's happening? RARLGON SOLDIER Offensive Control System malfunctioning. RARLGON SOLDIER We cannot turn off the automatic fire mode. TAILOR Lt. Katori, let's get the hell outta here. KATORI Roger. KATORI Don't worry. As long as I'm at the helm, there is nothing to worry about. YURIKO Captain, did you surrender to deceive the enemy? TAILOR Eh? CRYBURN This is what is called the "Victory without a shot fired". ANDRESEN How cunning of you to make use of our gift! ANDRESEN You're are a real cool dude, captain. YAMAMOTO When even I couldn't see through the content of the gift... TAILOR Eh? That was a bomb? TAILOR So it was a bomb. Didn't know that. YAMAMOTO Captain! You mean that you seriously considered selling the top secret of our force to the enemy to save your ass? TAILOR I feel sorry for that captain. AZALING Answer, Dom. AZALING Is it true that a mere destroyer annihilated our patrol fleet? DOM It is, Majesty. AZALING I see. Dom, I like you because you're so candid. AZALING Wang and his men never tell me the truth. DOM The name of the Soyokaze's captain is Justy Ueki Tailor. AZALING Tailor? AZALING Bring him before me. DOM Majesty, what do you mean by that? AZALING I want to meet this man named Justy Ueki Tailor. DOM I had the exact same thought in my mind. AZALING I see. Then proceed immediately. DOM As you wish. AZALING By the way, Dom. DOM What is it, Majesty? AZALING I want to ask you one thing. What does one need in order to win a battle? DOM You mean what is needed for victory in battle? DOM I think good luck is the most important thing in a battle. AZALING Luck? DOM Yes. AZALING I'll be counting on your "luck." DOM Tailor... I can't wait to meet him in the battlefield. TAILOR This is Lt. Commander Justy Ueki Tailor, captain of the destroyer Soyokaze. TAILOR We have destroyed 4 enemy ships. Repeat, we have destroyed 4 enemy ships. PREVIEW If I'm gonna die in battle anyway, I want to die while attended by a beautiful angel in white. NEXT EPISODE: The Angel in white who starts with an H! STAY TUNED!
