What's going on?

- Come on, boys.
- Where is it?

There is it. Right on schedule.

- Let's go!
- Aye aye.

It's Dola!

Huh?

Mayday! Mayday!

Let's go!

- Pirates!
- Excuse me!

Follow me.

- Ladies and gentlemen, don't move.
- Gangway!

Mom, look out!

Hold them off. Sheeta, stay out
ofthe way and you won't get hurt.

Don't let them through!

- I want that girl.
- Come on.

- Open up in there.
- Are you sure it's this cabin?

- Wait. Who's this? Muska?
- Where is she? She's not here.

- No!
- I found her. She's out here.

Don't let her escape.
Quick, get her.

- Ma, don't let me go!
- Quit your whining!

She's wearing the crystal.
Go get her.

I want that crystal! Sheeta!

Come here!

Oh, no! There goes my crystal!
Oh, no!

- I need meatballs for the boss.
- You're working late, Pazu.

Things are f�nally busy for a change.

- Still working?
- Yep. Bye.

Better hurry.
The boss will be hungry.

Huh?

What is that?

Looks like a body.

Whoa!

Huh?

- Pazu?
- Huh?

What are you doing?
Did you bring my dinner?

Yes, I did, but this girl
came down from the sky.

Damn!

Blast these old pipes!

There you go. Boss.

Listen, boss, a girl...

What? Not again!

- Just when I get one thing f�xed.
- Listen to me...

Take the second valve.
No time to lose.

- I think I need a bigger wrench.
- I'll get it.

Go run the hoist while I f�x this.

- You think you can do it?
- Yeah! Here.

- Just stay calm. Use your head.
- Right.

That's it.
Keep an eye on that pulley.

Oh.

- Hit the brake.
- What?

Well, how did it go, boys?

No silver. Not even any trace oftin.

We're not having any luck.

We should dig the mines east ofhere.

Those mines are worse than this one.

We'll just have to start
all over again.

- Let's call it a day. Night.
- Night.

Shut offthe boiler.
We won't f�nd anything today.

Lfthings keep going like this,
we'll all be starving soon.

- Pazu, oil that blasted machine.
- OK.

- Thanks. Goodnight.
- Night.

- Mom's gonna be mad at you.
- Leave me alone.

I'm not the one
who let her get away.

- Enough, already.
- Alright.

Mom, it's no use. There's too much
cloud cover and it's too dark.

- What?
- Told you.

I'll f�nd her.

- I'll f�nd her. Call me Captain.
- Yes, Mom.

Hello.

It's about time you got up.

Guys, I'm trying to talk to the lady.

How are you feeling?

Guys, knock it off.

Hi. I'm Pazu. I'm glad to see
you're alright. You had me worried.

Go ahead. Feed them. Don't be shy.

These guys are really happy
we have a visitor.

Thank goodness.
You laugh like a regular person.

The way you fell from the sky,
I thought you were an angel.

Thank you for saving me.
I'm sorry. My name's Sheeta.

Sheeta. What a beautiful name.

I had to catch you.
You were just floating.

What? Floating?
I remember an airship.

But I can't remember anything else.

- That's all you remember?
- Hm-hmm.

I'm not sure how I survived.

Well, I think
I might have an idea about that.

May I see your necklace
for a second?

- This?
- Yeah. Do you mind?

My grandmother gave it to me. It's
been in my family for generations.

It's beautiful. Could you hold this?

Let me help you.

Thanks.

Get a load ofthis. Watch. Here I go.

Pazu, are you alright? Answer me.

Can you hear me?

Maybe I had the wrong idea
about this necklace.

Oh!

Are you hurt? I'll be right down.

I'm so sorry, Pazu.

- Are you OK?
- I'm f�ne.

- Does it hurt much?
- Are you kidding?

If my head were any harder,
you could use it as a cannonball.

The kettle must be boiling over.

- Let's go. Follow me. This way.
- OK.

I'll get breakfast started.
You can wash up over there.

- There's a clean towel, too.
- Great. Thank you.

Laputa?

Sheeta? It's time for breakfast.

My father took that picture
from an airship. I'd love to fly.

It's Laputa, the floating island.

- An island that floats in the sky?
- Yes.

Most people think it's just a legend,
but my dad actually saw it.

That's a picture ofhis airship.

The castle was just floating
in the sky.

He said it was the most
amazing thing he'd ever seen.

That's the only picture
he was able to take.

But look at this. Dad kept a journal
and made all sorts of drawings. See?

There it is. He drew the castle

and what he thought
the people looked like.

He was sure it was f�lled with
treasure, but nobody believed him.

They called him a liar.

Being called a liar
is what killed him.

But I'll prove that my dad
was no liar.

When I'm done building this plane,
I'll take off and f�nd Laputa myself.

Hmm...

Oh...

Areal automobile.
You don't see many here.

- Those people are pirates.
- What?

They attacked the airship.

Then they're probably after you.
Come on.

- Check the back.
- Right.

- Morning. Bye.
- Hold on. Wait up.

How can I help you, mister?

Have you seen a little girl
around here?

Let me see. There's 100 little girls
in town. Which one?

- Thanks... for nothing, kid.
- Bye.

They're def�nitely after you.

Tell your mother. She's in disguise.

So, she's in disguise.
Go tell my mother.

She's got pigtails
and a purple dress.

Haven't see her.

That's what you keep saying.
Think hard about it.

Boss! Boss!

She'll be about the age ofthose two.

Oh, no!

There she is. Don't let her get away.

Now!

Boss! The pirates are after her!

Do I have to do everything myself?

Pirates? I want to see!

You can stop right there, my friend.

- Think you're tough?
- I'm tough enough.

- We'll see about that.
- Just go away. We're honest folks.

- What did you do that for?
- Leave from the back.

- I'm gonna f�ght them.
- What if you get hurt?

So?

So somebody's
got to protect your friend.

Oh! Hm-hmm.

- Why don't you get out of our way?
- Why don't you try and make me?

- Maybe I will.
- Oh, yeah.

Make your shirt explode.

Keep your eye on the buttons.
One, two, there we go.

Stand back or pop your buttons.

Boss, show him what you're made of.

- Here he goes.
- Yeah, we're real scared.

Erm, hmm...

That's it. You showed them.

I'm not mending that,
I hope you know.

Take that, you land lover.

- He took it.
- He certainly did.

- Uh-huh.
- Give him something for nothing.

That's right.

You go get him, boss.

He said Mom was ugly.
Now go get him.

Get him! That's it.

- Punch him.
- You got it.

- Go! Go!
- Hey, loudmouth?

Get in there. Give him a right.

Whoa!

Leave it to my little idiots
to start a riot.

Let's see. Where are you, sweetie?

You've made a friend.

They're headed for the railroad
tracks. Let's move it.

Hey! Hey!

- We're gonna jump on, Sheeta.
- Right.

That's it.

Come on.

Pazu, who's your friend?

Her name is Sheeta.
Pirates are after us.

- It's the Dola gang.
- I'll be! Pirates?

Can you drop us
at the police station?

- Help me stoke up the engine.
- W�ll do.

Full speed ahead!

Hey, it's Mom!

Come on, move.
Get your brother and hop on.

But Sheeta's inside that house.

Lame brain, they made an escape.
Step on it.

- They escaped?
- I want to come.

Mommy!

I don't think
they like you boys much.

Here's a little something
to remember us by!

Bumpy back here, Mom. Very bumpy.

Pazu, here they come.

- Can't this engine go any faster?
- It's the best she'll do. She's old.

- There she is, Mom.
- I wanted to say that.

Alright, move over.

You've really converted me
to the car, Mother!

Scary ride!

We're not gonna make it!

Increase the steam.
They're gaining on us.

- Prepare to board.
- We got 'em.

Yeah!

We need you in here.

- Help with the f�re.
- OK.

Oh-oh!

Look out!

Go right!

Come on! Get 'em!

That's a strong little girl.

Hey! Come back here!

- Stop!
- Bye-bye.

You'll get yours!
Don't just stand there.

- Push this train over the cliff.
- What?

We sure showed them!

- I can do it now.
- You were amazing.

Heave! Heave! Heave!

- Wait.
- And stop.

Amilitary spy plane.

- Do you think it's Muska?
- It's Muska, alright.

We gotta f�nd those kids.

Huh?

How about that?
It's the army to the rescue.

Hey! Could you kindly help
these young people?

Pirates have been chasing them
all day.

Huh?

- What's the matter?
- Goodbye, Pazu.

Come back here!

Sheeta! Wait!

Halt, or I'll shoot!

Wait for me.

- That's an army train.
- We're the Dola gang. Attack!

No! Wait.

- Sheeta!
- Don't follow me. You'll get hurt.

- Oh, my God!
- Don't worry!

Ooh, that smarts.

Come on!

This should be interesting.

- What's going on?
- Be quiet. Just watch them.

Aah!

Sheeta, we're floating!

This is what happened
the f�rst time I saw you.

See? It's the power ofthe crystal.

I knew there was something special
about your necklace.

Whoo!

See what I mean?

It's gonna be alright.

I think this'll let us down
nice and easy.

Boys, I want that crystal.

Fire!

Time to run!

It's surpassing incredible!
I must have that crystal!

You were right about my crystal.

- It's going out!
- Wait. Just a minute.

Your necklace must come
to life whenever you're in trouble.

That's a long way up.

I hope they're alright, your boss,
his wife and the train engineer.

My friends are miners.
They can take care ofthemselves.

Come on, Sheeta, let's go.

This has been a mining town for ages.

Most ofthese tunnels
aren't even used any more.

There you go.

Thank you. I'm glad
you brought some food. I'm starving.

For dessert, I've got
a green apple and candy.

Really? That bag of yours
must be magic.

It's always got just what we need.

You see?

Not bad, huh?

Where exactly do you come from?

I come from Gondua,
deep in the northern mountains.

I used to live there with my parents
and we were very happy.

When my mother and father died,
I was all alone.

The only thing that kept me going

was the farm
and taking care of my animals.

But one day, everything changed.

That was the day
the men came and took me away.

- Wait. They kidnapped you?
- Yes.

- That man in the dark glasses?
- Hm-hmm.

I wonder who that guy is
and what he's doing with the army.

I think Dola and that man
both want your necklace.

Yes, but I had no idea my crystal
was so incredibly powerful.

It's been in my family
as long as I can remember.

Mother gave it to me before she died.

She told me never to show it
or give it away to anyone.

Oh.

We orphans should stick together.

I'm sorry. It's my fault,
getting you mixed up in all this.

This is the most exciting thing
that's ever happened to me.

I wouldn't miss this
for anything in the world.

What?

Who holds such a bright light
before my tired, weak old eyes?

Are you some goblin
come to torment me?

It's Uncle Pom.
Don't worry, he's a friend.

Uncle Pom!
Boy, am I glad to see you.

I can't see you clearly, goblin,
but you sound like Pazu.

If my eyes don't deceive me,
there's a she-goblin with you.

There are pirates chasing us,
and the army's right behind them.

That sounds absolutely splendid.

- The tea is ready. Help yourself.
- Thank you. This is great.

Don't you get lonely
down here underground?

Never, my dear.
All ofthese rocks are my friends.

They often talk to me.

Ever since last night,
they've been especially restless.

- The rocks talk to you?
- Yes, Pazu.

The earth speaks to all of us.

If we listen, we can understand.

The rocks speak
in a very small voice.

Oh, my! It's glowing.

They're everywhere. Unbelievable.

- Amazing.
- Pazu, look above us.

Wow!

What is this?
What makes this happen?

It was just a hunk of rock
a while ago.

Oh, my!

The answer lies inside these rocks.
Let me show you.

- Pazu, you see?
- Yeah. What is that?

It's a long-forgotten element.
Etherium.

Etherium?

All the rocks here
contain a bit of etherium. Really.

Mankind once knew
how to mine etherium, but no longer.

Wait.

Look, my stone's glowing.

Goodness! Bless my soul.
That's a pure etherium crystal.

There hasn't been one since
before my great grandfather's time.

No wonder the rocks were restless.

This stone possesses
incredible power.

Legend has it that only people
ofthe floating city of Laputa

knew how to make such crystals.

They made this crystal?

They used etherium
to make Laputa float in the sky.

I knew Laputa wasn't just made up.

It's just like my dad said.

What's the matter?

I'm sorry. Would you put that crystal
away? It's too strong for me.

Oh, sorry.

What is it, Uncle Pom?

It's speaking too loudly to me.
Too sadly.

Great-Grandpa used to tell me
that the rocks become restless

when Laputa appears over the mine.

That must mean
Laputa's over the mine now.

Listen, now I can prove
that the legend is true.

Sheeta, I must tell you something.

Yes? What is it?

That crystal is extremely powerful.

But the power rightfully belongs
to the earth from which it came.

To forget that and to try to use
the power for self�sh reasons

will bring great unhappiness.

- You understand?
- Yes.

Your crystal should remind us
that we come from the earth,

and to the earth we must return.

Lighten up. Twice, that crystal's
got Sheeta out ofbig trouble.

I think that crystal
will help us f�nd Laputa.

- It's flying away.
- Can we go back to the ship?

It's too quiet. We'd better stay put
for now. Now, quit whining.

Does this mean no lunch?

The coast is clear. Let's go.

- Uncle Pom, thank you.
- Be careful, my dear.

Be very careful.

Wow! Look up there!

That cloud. It's gigantic!

Beyond that cloud is a floating city
that no one on earth believes exists.

But I swear I am gonna be
the one to prove it.

Pazu, listen. There's something
I haven't told you yet.

My family
has a very old traditional name.

When the stone was passed on to me,
I inherited that name.

The name I inherited
was Lusheeta Toel Ul Laputa.

Laputa? You mean, you're...

They found us, Sheeta. Let's go!

Come on!

- Head back to the mine.
- Stop them!

- Hands up!
- Don't you touch her!

Let me go!

Oh, no! Are you alright?
You have to wake up, Pazu!

- Sir, we've captured them.
- And about time.

Huh?

Hey, let me out!

Where am I?

Forward march!

This is a delicate situation.
She's young, vulnerable.

We'll get what we want,
but it will take time.

We're wasting time.

Twist an arm or two,
and I guarantee the girl will talk.

I respectfully disagree.

Such military tactics
risk wasting more time, General.

If my military tactics had been used,

Dola wouldn't have had a chance
to interfere at all.

It was a military transmission
that the pirates decoded.

- What?
- You've bungled things.

Now I must f�x them.

Your job is to mobilise the troops
when it becomes necessary.

Don't forget that the government
put me in charge of f�nding Laputa.

Don't forget that as the government
secret agent, I am in charge of you.

Blast. I really hate that man.

I trust you slept well.

Where's Pazu?
Is he alright? I want to see him.

This is f�t for a princess.

Don't worry. Your friend is being
treated like a guest of royalty.

I want you to see something
before you see him.

Please step inside.

Look there.

- What is it?
- An artif�cial life form.

It's called a robot.

Laputa was just a legend
until this dropped from the sky.

Huh?

Now, the government wants me
to unlock Laputa's secrets.

For example, what's this made of?
Metal or ceramics?

W�th our limited technology,
we have no idea.

But he does tell us one thing.
Come and see.

Don't be afraid, Sheeta.
He's really quite dead, you know.

Look there.

Yes.

It's the same emblem that decorates
the f�replace in your home.

And your crystal.

You see, this crystal
also comes from Laputa.

I believe the powers locked inside it

are capable of leading a person
back to that city's treasures.

Then why? Why don't you just take it?

Take it and keep Laputa's treasures,
but leave Pazu and me alone. Please!

You are being very silly about this.

You think this is about money?
You understand nothing.

According to the legend,

the same technology
that kept Laputa airborne

also made it a major power that once
dominated the entire planet.

If such a horrible thing
is still floating up there,

you can understand what a threat
it is to the peace ofthe world.

Sheeta, this stone
only works for you.

You must know of some way

to make the stone
point out the location of Laputa.

I really don't know anything.
Please let me see Pazu.

I don't want to see any harm
come to anyone.

But I can't control
what the military might do to him.

What?

In the event that you cooperate,

I'm sure who's in charge
will grant Pazu his freedom.

- Lusheeta Toel Ul Laputa.
- You know my real name.

"Ul" means "ruler" in Laputian.
"Toel" means "true".

You are the legitimate heir to the
throne of Laputa, Princess Lusheeta.

Let's go. Out.

Sheeta!

- Are you alright?
- I'm OK. What about you?

They didn't hurt you?

I'm so sorry.
There's been a misunderstanding.

We had no idea how nobly you fought
to protect Sheeta from the pirates.

- What's he talking about?
- Pazu, do this for me.

- Forget about Laputa.
- What are you saying?

The search for Laputa
will be made secretly by the army

with Sheeta's cooperation.

The best thing you can do is
forget you heard ofthe place.

Forget about Laputa?

I'm sorry I caused you
so much trouble.

I hope someday you can forgive me.

I can't forget. No way.
Laputa means too much to both of us.

- Goodbye.
- Sheeta!

- Come back.
- Behave, little boy. Use your head.

Here, take this.

A little something to show
our appreciation of your efforts.

Only you can do it.

Remember the words
that can bring the crystal to life.

Keep your promise
and you, too, will be free.

Get out, piggy, get out!

Mommy! Mommy!
It's Pazu. Pazu's outside.

Oh, my! Pazu!

Where have you been?
We were all worried about you.

- What happened to your friend?
- It's over now.

What?

Pazu, come back!

- Well! Ahoy there, matey!
- What's going on?

Stop wriggling, you little worm.

- Welcome home, sonny.
- Get out or I'll throw you out.

- This is my house!
- You don't scare me.

You can't even protect
one small girl.

- What do you mean?
- Can I keep this money?

Sold the girl, did you?
I know your type.

You don't know what you're saying.

They offered you money
and you took it, didn't you?

I left because Sheeta told me to.
That's why.

So you believed her
and came back here?

Ascared little boy who runs away!

You didn't have the guts
to stand up to Muska.

He who turns and runs away
can steal the treasure another day.

Don't you think it's strange

that the army has gotten into
the kidnapping business?

Do you think they'll keep her alive?
They forced her to make a deal.

Huh?

She saved your life, kid.

How do you know these things?

You can't be
a sensitive woman like me

without learning a few things.

Sheeta and I are exactly alike.
Warm, mushy and sensitive.

When you boys get married,
you go f�nd a girl like her.

- Is she gonna end up like Momma?
- Good question.

Oh, boy.

Finally!

Hmm!

Well, it won't work changing
the code on me.

They're calling
for air destroyer Goliath.

They're planning to take off
with Sheeta.

Hurry or it'll be too late.

Come on, boys, stop eating!

Are you going to rescue Sheeta?

No, you little squirt,
we want her crystal.

You need Sheeta to make the crystal
work. Otherwise, it's useless.

Let me come with you.
I need to save her.

Sheeta means everything to me.

You know something? You're acting
like a snivelling little crybaby.

I should have protected Sheeta,
but I was stupid and angry.

Let me come with you.
I swear I'll protect her this time.

- Pazu loves Sheeta.
- Be quiet.

Sorry.

I guess you'll be useful
getting Sheeta to cooperate.

You might never
come back here again.

- I know.
- Ready for what might happen?

Hm-hmm.

We leave here in one minute.

You guys be good.

Fasten this.
Let's rendezvous at the Tigermoth.

What a superb ship!

Has the girl
surrendered the information?

It will take more time.

More time?
You'll have plenty aboard Goliath.

We set out with her at f�rst light.

Hurry! We have to get there
before sun-up.

Sheeta.

Well, well, now. What shall we do?

Sheeta, maybe Grandma
should teach you a spell.

One that will help you
when you're in trouble.

- Aspell?
- Yes, my dearest.

An ancient secret spell.

The words mean "save me".

"Save me and revive
the eternal light. "

I knew it!

The sacred light.
The ancient documents were true.

- It's not just a legend.
- What are you talking about?

Tell me the spell.
What are the secret words?

- Did you hear that?
- Yeah.

OK, open it up.

Huh?

I'm telling you, this thing is alive!
Do you hear me? Alive!

It's alive and it's after us.
Run for your lives!

It's the robot!

- It's come back to life!
- Hurry! Sound the alarm. Quick!

See? He's moving!

- What's happening?
- Sir, it's the robot.

- It's coming toward us.
- Fire!

Shut the f�re door. Hurry!

Look out!

The power!

Yes! I understand.

It's your crystal.

The force ofthe sacred light has
brought the robot back to life.

- The way to Laputa has been opened.
- Let me go!

It's going to fly!

It's Laputa.

Finally! I now know
the way to Laputa.

Hurry. No time to waste.

I want to know
who's trying to blow up my fortress!

Are you there?
Somebody answer me now!

- We're ready.
- You're connected now.

This is Col Muska.
We have an emergency.

You'll take your orders from me now.

Hurry! I need that shell now!

No!

- Fire!
- Fire!

Let's get up there now!

- We demolished it.
- Get the girl. Over there.

Make sure it doesn't move, now.

- Is she dead?
- Hey, get up.

- No, she's only fainted.
- Come on.

Oh, no!

- Look!
- Finally.

Would you look at that?
Must be a war going on.

- Take her down, Dola.
- Call me Captain.

Mom, what's the plan?

Just keep your big head down.

Stop it, you're destroying
everything. Please stop!

Goliath is moving. Goliath is moving.

If we stay on this heading,
we'll be in the line of f�re.

- Look, there's Sheeta.
- What?

- Where did you see her?
- Steady as she goes, Captain.

She's on top ofthat tower.

One for all and all for Mom.
Cover me.

Good luck.

Sheeta!

My hand! Take it.

Pazu!

Get in a little closer, Dola.

Pazu!

They're here to help me.
Please, put me down.

Sheeta!

Dola!

No! They're falling!

No!

Help!

Come on!

Come on, Dola!

It's now or never.

- I'll take us in. You grab her.
- Right.

- Over here!
- OK, Captain.

What are you doing?
Move! Don't let her escape!

- Gotcha!
- Hang on there, little girl.

I have an entire army
and they're getting away.

Here's smoke in your eye!

It's not over.

Hold on!

Muska, what on earth happened
to the robot?

- We destroyed it. The girl's gone.
- What?

Oh! Look at this. It's a disaster.

We may have found
what we were looking for.

Extinguish the f�re.
Organise a pursuit team.

Right there, sir.

It still possesses
its sacred light...

...pointing to Laputa.

Tell the General for me.
We will be departing on time.

Sheeta, are you OK?

If I did something wrong,
I'd like to apologise, Sheeta.

We all did something wrong,
wasting time on these kids.

Here's your valley up ahead.
I'll drop you offthere.

It's alright. Dola, can we sail
with you and the boys?

Call me Captain! What's in it for me
since you lost the etherium?

We can work.

I have to f�nd out the real truth
about Laputa for myself, Captain.

You're not interested in money, but
you want to f�nd out about Laputa?

I guess there's worse reasons
to become a pirate.

I say let them come along.

Toe the line and work hard
or overboard you go.

- Yes, Captain.
- No more swabbing the decks!

- I won't have to wash the dishes.
- I've peeled my last potato!

Sheeta, can you make pudding?

I get to lick the spatula.

I like chocolate cake with that
frosting that's pink and swirly.

W�ll you shut up? What can I
tell you? They really like dessert.

Look, Pazu. It's your house.

The birds, will they be alright?

Yeah, they'll be f�ne.

There she is.

Ahoy, Captain!

Steady, steady!

Whoa!

And disembark.

What is this ship made of? Cloth?

And don't you rip it.

Come on, we'll go topside.

You're going the wrong way.
Come here. I don't like slowpokes.

- I'm not a slowpoke. The wind...
- Come this way.

- Pazu!
- Come on, I haven't got all day.

Work, work, busy, busy, left, right.
You're not here to have fun.

This room's loaded
with gears and gizmos.

- This engine room is amazing.
- Is that what it's called?

Poppa, where are you?

Pop, I've f�nally found you
an assistant!

Stop yelling at me. I can hear you.

Sometimes, I wish I couldn't.

Assistant, let's see what you can do.

Hurry up. He is even tougher
than my mother.

I need someone
mechanically minded,

not some half-baked
swashbuckling Casanova wannabe.

- It's too narrow. I can't reach.
- I got it.

- What's your name?
- Pazu.

The beam from the crystal
was pointing directly due east.

Are you sure about this?

Yes. I could see the sun
rising from the tower.

It's the end of grass-cutting season.

The sun rose not from due east
but a little further south.

The light pointed left ofthe hill
from which the sun rose.

- Pretty smart. Found anything?
- We haven't found a single thing.

They're jamming the airwaves
so we can't f�nd them.

How can we catch them
when they're faster than we are?

We're cruising
on the windward side ofthem.

If we manage to ride
the trade wind...

According to my calculations,

with wind velocity at ten,
it looks to me like we'll catch them.

Attention all hands. Hear this.

Goliath is already under way
for Laputa.

We're going to set sail
and go after them.

If we catch the wind,
we'll be on their heels tomorrow.

The f�rst man to spy Goliath
will receive ten gold coins.

That's good money.

If what we've heard
about Laputa is true,

there'll be enough treasure
to make an honest pirate of us all.

Alright, all hands aboard.

Look alive and get to work.

Let's show those
military dunderheads

what the Dola gang is made of.

Let her rip.

Course, 98 degrees, velocity, 50.

- You gotta talk like a real pirate.
- I've been practising.

- Har, matey. Shiver me timbers.
- Keep practising.

Now you gotta start dressing
like a real pirate. Let's see. Here.

These are really...

- What?
- Nice.

My men swab the deck,
batten down hatches

and keep the Tigermoth
ready for action.

Well...

This is where you'll be working.

I want the galley shipshape,
sparkling clean

- and ready for action in one hour.
- But, I...

The boys get awful hungry,
so you'll serve f�ve meals a day.

Looking for something, gentlemen?

I'm not running a luxury cruise.
Get to work!

Hmm?

Come in.

I'm afraid I'm still cooking.
Nothing's ready yet.

It took me a long time
to clean everything up.

- Ahem.
- Yes, what is it?

Er...

Yes?

I've f�nished my work.
I've come to offer you my help.

That's kind. Would you hand me
those plates over there?

W�th pleasure, my little angel...

- What are you doing here?
- Helping.

I thought you said
you had a stomach ache.

I'm in love with you!

- You?
- Hello.

- Move.
- It's too crowded.

- Do I look like a chair?
- Anything I can do?

You?

What's come over you? It's not like
you to challenge a ship like Goliath.

- The odds are against you.
- I'm after treasure, that's all.

I must admit, those kids are cute.

What do you mean by that,
you old fool?

Nothing. But that little girl
reminds me of you not so long ago.

- Who asked you?
- Nobody. Look! Checkmate.

- Does anyone want any more?
- More!

- Yes? Oh.
- I want some more.

Up and at 'em, youngster.
Come on, young pup.

Time to go on duty.
It's cold. Take this.

Keep your eyes peeled.
Don't fall asleep.

It's cold.

- I'll take over.
- Thank you.

Huh?

Sheeta?

Whoa!

That was exciting.
Wow! You can see forever.

Sheeta, here.

- OK?
- That's better.

Let's be quiet. We don't
want Dola to know you're here.

This is great.
Now we can watch together.

Pazu, I'm really scared,
to tell you the truth.

- I don't want to go to Laputa.
- You don't want to go?

I don't get it.
Didn't you tell Dola the truth?

- Huh?
- I didn't lie to Dola.

What I said
about the light's direction is true.

- But what if someone else dies?
- Like the robot?

He died to save my life.
I feel awful.

All this is because of a spell
my grandmother taught me.

She taught me all sorts of spells.

Aspell when
you're looking for something.

Aspell to cure sickness.

There's even one she told me
I must never use.

- What kind of spell?
- The spell of destruction.

She said that as well as good spells,
I had to know evil ones, too.

She told me never to use them.

I was so scared when I learned
that spell, I couldn't sleep.

I didn't know the spells
were connected to my necklace.

Uncle Pom was right

when he said that it was dangerous
for us to misuse the crystal.

What if Laputa has the same power
that can be used for great evil?

- I wish I'd thrown the crystal away.
- Then we'd never have met.

Even if you had,
Laputa would still exist.

Aeroplanes and flying machines
are getting better.

Eventually, some explorer will f�nd
Laputa one day and claim it.

I can't say what's best,
but if Laputa has such great power,

we can't let it fall into the hands
ofbad people like Muska.

And if we run away now,
Muska is going to chase us forever.

I don't want you to become a pirate
because of me.

I'm not gonna become a pirate.

Don't worry. Dola will understand.
She's nicer than she pretends to be.

When we've found it, I promise you
we'll go back to Gondua.

I want to see it all. The old house
where you were born, the valley.

Pazu, thank you.

- Sheeta, what's that?
- Huh?

Right there, under the ship. See it?

What is it?

- Oh no!
- "Oh no" is right.

Captain, it's Goliath,
right under our bow.

Full steam ahead!

Why don't you go after them?
Get them.

It's useless to look for them
in the cloud cover.

I don't need to waste my energy
on a wild-goose chase.

Besides, we're right on schedule.

It's farther north than I f�gured.
Pazu, listen carefully to me.

Everything will be ruined
if we lose track of Goliath.

- Watch her and keep us on course.
- How do I do that?

The crow's nest can be made
into a kite. See the handle?

- I got it.
- Turn it clockwise.

Hook it up. Turn the handle.
That'll make the wings open.

You'll have to get the hang of flying
it on your own.

- There.
- Are you up there, Sheeta?

- Yes.
- Come down, right now.

- Why?
- You're a girl. That's man's work.

But you're female, Captain.

I grew up in the mountains.
I can do this.

- Sheeta, no!
- Be quiet. Pazu agrees with me.

Once you take off, you'll have to
use the phone to communicate.

You mean this phone?

She is good.

Right, we're set. Ready for takeoff.

Aye aye. Anchors aweigh.

- I don't see them.
- They must be under the cloud cover.

They could be above you.
Keep your eyes peeled.

Roger.

Hang on tight.

What happened?

Nothing. Just a gust of wind.
Didn't bother us at all.

We're f�ne. We'll keep on watching.

- Afraid?
- Uh-uh.

I got the hang ofthis thing now.
Storm ahead.

Look in my bag.
There should be some rope.

- OK.
- Let's tie ourselves together.

- This storm will be rough.
- Good idea.

The mercury is dropping really fast.

We lost our luck.
What a rotten time for a storm.

- When is sun-up?
- In one hour.

Wait. Something's not right.

The sun is coming up
in the wrong place.

We should be heading east, not north.
We're going the wrong way. Captain?

What do you mean
we're heading north?

The compass needle is pointing east.

Something's confusing the compass.

- There it is.
- There what is? Goliath?

No, a cloud. I've only ever
seen one other like it.

Acloud?

It's headed right for us.

That's it.

I won't captain my ship into the eye
of a hurricane. Pull back!

All engines reverse!

We're being pulled into the storm.

We can't help you. You'll have
to ride it out. Good luck.

- I can't get it to turn!
- Put more backbone into it!

The engine can't take it.

What do you want me to do
about it? Just do what you can.

The cloud's are breaking up.

It's the ocean!

- It's a hurricane.
- I see it. We're going in.

It's just like Dad said. Two winds
blowing in opposite directions.

Shiver me timbers,
what a powerful storm.

We'll be sucked in.

Lfthere's one thing
I can't stand it's a quitter!

- Laputa's in there!
- Laputa's where?

This is the sort of storm my father
saw. Laputa's in the middle.

It can't be.
It'd be smashed to pieces.

- Pazu, look there.
- Huh?

Boys, we have a dilemma.
It's Goliath offthe port bow.

We're gonna go into the hurricane.
Dad made it. So will we.

Brace yourselves, gentlemen.

We did it! Got 'em!

If we don't turn,
we'll hit that storm.

- All ahead full.
- Sir?

The light is pointing
to the centre ofthe whirlwind.

Laputa is in that storm.
I won't retreat.

Go straight ahead.
That is an order, Captain.

- Ready, Sheeta?
- Yes.

Huh?

Father?

Huh?

Sheeta, are you alright? Wake up!

Look!

Laputa.

- I'm sorry.
- Wait a minute.

It's a very tight knot.

And... my...

My hands are trembling.

Whoa!

Wow!

We're here. We really found it.

Pretty birds.

They must live here, Pazu.

Huh?

He must be here to meet you.

But I don't have
the etherium crystal.

I've got to cut us loose.

Wait! You're gonna break that.

Wait. Please, don't do that. We
won't be able to go home without it.

- It's a bird's nest.
- That's why he's here.

He's just trying to protect it.

I'm so happy the eggs are alright.

It must be his job
to take care ofthem.

- He says to follow him.
- How do you know?

I just know that's what he said.

Sheeta, did you see those? Look!

It's a city.

It's a giant garden.

I've never seen anything like it.
It's beautiful.

I can't believe
we're inside a building.

I know. But it doesn't look
like a building from the inside.

- The walls are invisible.
- Yeah.

I wonder what happened here.

This used to be a city
of advanced technology.

The further we walk,
the bigger the trees get.

Look at the size ofthat one.
It must be 1,000 years old.

The robot was leading us
to this place, Pazu.

Wow!

It must be a monument.
I wish we could read what it says.

Someone left some flowers. Look.

Did you leave the flowers?

That's a different robot.

It looks like
it's been frozen there forever.

Hey!

Look, there are more ofthem.

They must have been protectors
ofthe garden.

They've kept guarding the place,
even long after the people have gone.

You've picked another flower
for the grave. How kind of you.

Thank you.

He must be the only one left.

All the other robots stopped working
a long time ago.

I bet he's not lonesome at all.

He's got plenty of friends.
Animals and birds.

He takes care ofthem.

This way.

The army has destroyed
this part ofthe city.

- Isn't that the Tigermoth?
- Dola's ship's been hit.

Goliath's bigger than I thought.
Look at all those soldiers.

- We have to do something, Pazu.
- I know. But what?

I hope Dola and the boys are alright.

Me, too. Where are they?
Do you see them?

Wait! There they are.
They've got them prisoner.

We've got to help them.

- If we don't, they'll hang them.
- What'll we do?

Come on. Hurry.

Sir! We have managed
to break down the wall, General.

Just a sample
of what we found inside.

The city is full oftreasure, sir.

- Momma!
- Whoa!

Would you like to have this? I've got
a different necklace for you!

Have you radioed a report
on Laputa's discovery?

I was about to.

See if you can make it
diff�cult to decode.

Stop pocketing those jewels,
you scum!

The perfect thing
to throw those fools offthe scent.

We're up so high.

I hope you're good at climbing trees.

I've got a plan.

What a greedy pack ofthieves.

We can't let them destroy the garden.

We must f�nd the etherium crystal.

We have to f�nd it. It's the only way
to protect the garden.

I was wondering why
the storm clouds disappeared.

But ifthey hadn't cleared up,
the army couldn't land.

You think it was because
of my necklace?

I don't know, but I think the crystal
disintegrated that storm.

Now, the castle has awakened
for whoever holds the crystal.

We can't let Muska f�gure out
how to use the crystal.

Lfhe does,
it'll be the end of everything.

But even if we can get the crystal
back, how can we use its power?

- The spell, Pazu.
- The spell of destruction.

- It may be the only way.
- What is it?

Over here.
I thought I heard something.

- Do you see anything?
- No. All clear.

Quickly!

We need to get down there.

- I'll go f�rst.
- Right. Be careful.

It's OK.

It's around here somewhere.

We're looking for a doorway, Colonel.

I don't see anything, sir.

It should be here. Wait!

This is it.

- Look!
- Incredible.

It's the boy!

- Look out.
- Sheeta!

- Stop!
- Don't shoot.

Not so fast. Well, well, looks like
we caught a little princess.

Don't hurt her!

- It came from over here.
- What's happening?

We found another pirate.
There's one more under your feet.

Yes, sir. We'll get him.

Sheeta, I'll f�nd you.

Pazu!

- Get me a hand grenade.
- Is that Pazu?

Holy smokes!

That wasn't me.

- That's hot.
- Mom, what's going on?

- I need the commanding off�cer.
- That way.

- General's waiting over there.
- Guards, on the double!

You men, come with me.

- Dola!
- Wha...?

Hi, there. Sheeta's been captured.
I'm going to save her.

When I cut your ropes,
make a run for it.

Thanks. That's cut it.

Good luck now, Captain.

Wait a minute, boy.

You'd better take this.

Huh?

Thank you.

The boy has become a man.

What do you mean,
Muska's destroyed the radios?

He must have done it
while the men were outside.

Several ofthe guards
have been injured.

We spotted Muska heading below.

He's not alone.
He's got two men with him.

Muska reveals his true nature
at last.

Find him and arrest him!

- First platoon, move.
- Second platoon, fall in.

You're to shoot anyone who resists.

You must f�nd Colonel Muska now.

Excuse me, Colonel Muska,
where are we?

The centre of Laputa.
The castle above us means nothing.

All of Laputa's scientif�c knowledge
is contained in this chamber.

Ladies f�rst.

- You may wait here, gentlemen.
- Colonel, please!

This is a sacred place where
only royalty is allowed to enter.

What's happened here?

These f�Ithy roots
don't belong in this chamber!

Horrible things.
I'll have them burned.

This way. Come.

There it is! This is it.

See?

Not here, too! Ugh!

Roots!

Nothing but tree stumps and vines.

Stupid, ugly, dirty,
disgusting things!

At last! At last I have found it!

The largest etherium crystal ever,

and the source
of all the power in Laputa.

This beautiful stone has awaited
the return ofits king for 700 years.

700 years?

700 years is a long time
to be without a king, isn't it?

It's the black stone,
just as the legend says.

Get away!

There it is. It's the same.

Who are you, Muska?

Yes, my dear, I, too,
have an old secret name.

My real name
is Romooska Palo Ul Laputa.

You and I
have the same royal ancestors.

We are both of noble blood.

But our ancestors
left Laputa to live on earth.

What a mistake!

- Explosives have no effect.
- This is no ordinary stone.

Use all ofthe dynamite we have.

There's no need to do that.
You may come in.

Where are you?

Huh?

I don't understand
why you hesitate. Please come in.

Blast! Alright, follow me. Let's go.

Huh?

After him, men.

Wait, hold on.
Alright, where are you, Muska?

Please, be quiet.

What?

What's going on?

Hold your tongue.

You are in the presence
ofthe King of Laputa.

The man's gone crazy!

I thought I would show you
Laputa's power.

We are about to celebrate
the rebirth ofthe Laputian kingdom.

Sheeta?

Prepare yourself
for the thunder of Laputa.

Sheeta! I'm coming.

The f�re ofheaven that destroyed
Sodom and Gomorrah.

The Ramayana
referred to it as Indra's Arrow.

The entire world will once again
kneel before the power of Laputa.

I can only say well done.
You're a credit to our country.

As such, you deserved this reward.

Huh?

I have really had enough
of your incredible stupidity.

- Run, everyone!
- Little brat!

Goodbye. Enjoy the ride.

- More robots.
- And there's a lot ofthem.

Make a run for it.

- Check the 'copters.
- OK, Mom.

- They're ready to travel.
- Time to go.

Hush up. They don't know we're here.

Tarnation! Where's Pazu and Sheeta?
Can't leave without 'em.

You had better be gracious
to the new king, dear.

You and I will be spending
quite a lot oftime together.

Look at the fools.

Unbelievably stupid.

Pathetic.
They simply don't understand.

It is useless to f�ght me.

Huh?

Robots!

Sheeta!

Asuperior being such as myself
has only one option.

Burn them. Don't you agree,
Princess Lusheeta?

Stop it, Muska!
You've got what you want. Stop it!

- Give me the crystal.
- Insolent little brat.

Sheeta!

Be a good girl
and give the crystal back.

Please! Open up! Please!

Sheeta.

Sheeta, listen to be. Be reasonable.

There's no way you can escape.

Please open! Help me.

Only I can help you.

Ah!

Sheeta!

Sheeta!

Pazu, where are you?

Sheeta, over here.

Sheeta!

- Sheeta.
- You're alive.

Stand back. I'm gonna blast through.

- Here we go.
- No, Pazu.

Hurry. Take this.
Muska's coming. Hurry!

Sheeta!

Here, take it.

Throw it into ocean.

Better protect that crystal
if you want to see the girl alive.

Sheeta!

Get up, Princess. The game is over.

How appropriate that we've ended up
in the throne room.

Now get over here.

This is no longer a throne room.
This is a tomb for the both of us.

You see, a king without compassion
does not deserve a kingdom.

You will never possess the crystal.
You and I will die here, together.

Now I understand
why the people of Laputa vanished.

There's a song from Gondua
that explains everything.

It says, "Take root in the ground,
live in harmony with the wind,

plant your seeds in the winter and
rejoice with the birds in spring. "

No matter how many weapons
you have,

no matter how great
your technology might be,

the world cannot live without love.

Laputa will live.
I will return it to life.

Laputa's power
is the dream of all mankind.

Your ears are next, unless
you get on your knees and obey me.

I command you, give me that stone.

Stop right there, Muska.

I've hidden the stone.

If you harm Sheeta,
you'll never get it back.

No, Pazu, listen. Run away
before he kills you as well as me.

Look who's here. Give me the stone
and the girl will live.

Otherwise, I'll kill her.

Are you planning on f�ghting me?

Go ahead. Use that cannon
you can hardly lift.

You can have the stone
if I can talk to Sheeta.

No! Get out ofhere
and throw the crystal away.

I'll give you one minute,
starting now.

Pazu!

Sheeta, listen to me very carefully.

Whisper the spell to me.
I'll say it with you.

Put your hand in mine and trust me.

Tell me the spell of destruction.

Dola and the boys are free.
Don't worry about them.

Whisper the spell in my ear.

Time's up. What is your answer?

Are you ready?

Huh?

My eyes! I can't see!

No! No!

- We can't wait any more, Mom.
- Alright, let's shove off.

- Hurry up.
- Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Look! The whole thing's collapsing.

Poor kids. I'll miss them.

They used the spell of destruction.

They saved Laputa
from the evil hands of Muska.

Mother, what is that
big blue light up there?

It's a big stone.

I can see that,
but what does it mean, numbskull?

That's my question.

That tree's getting away
with our treasure.

Get it! Get it! Move. Come on.

Sheeta?

Pazu.

- We're alive. What happened?
- The roots saved us.

Of course. We protected the tree,
now it protects us.

It's the kite. It looks f�ne.
It should work.

- Ready?
- Ready.

Now.

What's going on here?
It's getting away from us.

Why the deuce
aren't we gaining altitude?

There's too much weight
to gain alt...

- Hello!
- Hey, Captain!

Sheeta!

Sheeta's alive!

- Dola!
- Thank goodness you're alive.

So are you. This is great.

No, it's not. My poor little ship
is gone forever.

Stop with the crying, you big baby.
I'll get you another ship.

Poor thing. Nothing worse
than having your pigtails shot off.

Or having your eye poked out.
What is that?

My fault.
You must have hurt yourself on these.

How'd they get inside my blouse?

All good pirates listen to their mom.

That is so true.

Bye!

Bye.

Bye-bye.
