[LILLIAN] ♪ Nowhere to turn ♪

♪ Nowhere to hide... ♪

I know Lillian's really gone now, and that's the truth.

You're right, she is.

But she can live on forever all because of you.

You bought this piece of her back to life through the song.

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.

[LILLIAN] ♪ ...keep moving on ♪

♪ so there's no looking back ♪

♪ A deep breath... ♪

To bring more of Tsukasa's troops over to our side,

I'll need this record,

which means I've gotta protect the thing with my life.

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

[chuckles]

So I'd say we're on the same team.

[LILLIAN] ♪ ...tomorrow ♪

♪ Just taking one... ♪

That works for me! You and I have a deal!

Whatever you're plannin' to do next, consider me on board!

[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 shoot 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 shot?

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 kill 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 shoot 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 shot

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 attacked 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.

Shit! We're screwed! Shit!

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.
