Original subtitles

I wish I knew about my friends.

I think they got in the swamp.

You will learn that what I want

is what I get around here.

You will stay here with me

or they shall die.

I will die with them.

Then you shall all die.

Looks like easygoing for a change, huh?

Is it always so different when you cross through the zone.

It has been so far.

Yeah, you never know what's gonna be there.

Sil-L!

She followed me.

Hey, how about that? She came right through the Zone.

Well, there's five of us now.

One more and we're back to our original number.

Look!

I don't like the looks of that.

How can a storm come up so quickly?

That's no storm, at least no normal one.

We ran into its first cousin,

and I'm not anxious to make this one's acquaintance.

Let's go.

Where the devil are we?

It's much easier to say where we aren't.

You all right, Scott?

Yeah, I think so.

But, where's Liana?

She's here someplace.

That storm just put her down someplace else in this swamp is all.

The climatic atmospheres of these zones

are not gonna be as predictable as

we would like, I'm afraid.

In other words, we got trouble.

In other words, I think we better

begin looking for Liana.

See, Father. Look.

As I told you, she is not one of ours.

No.

Miss?

Miss?

Mmm?

Oh, it's...

Where am I?

Oh, now, don't worry. You're safe.

But where are my friends?

You are alone. There is no one else.

It seems obvious to me you've had a very difficult time.

Why don't you come back with us to our villa

and we could talk it all over?

But my friends...

We'll talk about them, too. I assure you. Later.

Everything is fine.

- All right. - Mmm, come on.

- Ooh. - Oh?

Ah, my ankle.

Cyrus, carry her.

Of course, Father.

Fred? Varian?

I think we ought to watch out for things.

What things, Scott?

Just things.

Very good, Scott. Let's just keep our eyes peeled.

Liana!

Liana!

Liana!

We don't know for sure the storm left Liana

in this swamp at all.

Maybe this is all a wild goose chase.

Perhaps it is. But we have little choice

but to continue.

Don't you go wandering off, Scotty.

There's an animal.

Liana?

Liana!

Scott!

Look at the prints in the mud.

Scott must have stopped here.

And there. Now there's two sets of prints.

This is our home.

If you don't mind, I think I can walk now.

Cyrus?

It's fine. I must have just turned it.

Good. Shall we?

I hope you are going to be

comfortable in our villa.

- Jonathan. - Father.

This is Rachel.

And these are my other sons, Michael, and Daniel.

Oh, I don't believe you told us your name.

Liana.

We are happy to have you with us, Liana.

We see so few...

We see so few travelers.

We are a bit isolated, you know.

Rachel...

I'm sure Miss Liana would like to rest before dinner.

Please, you've been so kind to me.

But I really must see about my friends.

Oh, yes. Uh...

Miss Liana was traveling with two men and a boy.

They were separated by the storm.

Keep a watch out for them.

Yes, Father.

Perhaps I had better go with them.

Oh, no, that won't be necessary.

The boys will handle it.

And will you bring them here when you find them?

Yes, Miss Liana.

Come now, Liana.

She's very beautiful, Father.

Isn't she?

I hope you will enjoy your stay with us, Liana.

I'm sure I will.

Everything here is so beautiful.

Jonathan likes it that way.

- Your husband. - Jonathan.

Your sons are extremely handsome and very

well-mannered.

You must be very proud of them.

Jonathan likes it that way.

It's lucky all his wishes came out

the way he wanted them.

Oh, they would have, in any event.

Jonathan is a very strong-minded man.

Your room is in there.

Thank you. I am tired.

I wish I knew about my friends.

We don't see many people.

I think they got lost in the swamp.

The swamp? I didn't see any swamp.

I have never, either.

Jonathan says it is not for us to bother about.

It's beyond the mountain.

I think people get lost there sometimes.

Why?

I sometimes hear people crying at night,

when it's very still.

And I know it isn't us.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Rachel?

I thought I told you to be quiet about the swamp.

But she was so concerned about her friends.

Make no mistake about this.

If you ever mention the swamp to anyone,

ever again...

I will take you apart.

It's like one more than one trail trough here.

Yes.

You know, there's also the question of finding Liana.

We don't even know that she's here.

We know that someone has Scott, or something.

Any news? We saw no one, Father.

They must be in the swamp. There is no other place.

All right.

If they do show up, use whatever means necessary

to make certain they do not come near here.

Yes, Father.

My dear,

Michael and Daniel have just returned from their

search for your friends.

- Did they find them? - I'm terribly sorry.

They saw no one at all.

But I have sent them out to look again,

and if there is any chance of finding them, they will.

- Thank you. - The soup, sir.

Oh.

Please, I don't want you to worry.

Consun! What are you doing?

Now, get out of here with that!

Yes, sir.

I will take care of this, Jonathan.

You will have to excuse the chef.

He has a fondness for cooking sherry.

And I best take care of this. Excuse me.

Please try some. No, thank you.

Why did this have to happen now?

- I'm so sorry, Jonathan. - Oh, it's not your fault.

You don't think the girl suspects anything, do you?

- No, I don't think so. - Good.

I want her mind taken off this.

- Perhaps some new clothes. - Yes, Jonathan.

For best results, one should always use

a dry powdered mustard.

Never overpowering the delicacy of the sauce.

And then, of course, one would prefer just

a tiniest pinch of basil.

And, perhaps, a sprinkling of thyme,

to give the stew its true provincial flavor.

Now, if these herbs are not available,

one could use, uh, tarragon and astergon.

Uh, no, one couldn't.

Tarragon and astergon don't go together at all.

Perhaps one could use rosemary.

Oh, rosemary.

Oh, that's a lovely name, Rosemary.

Yes, we use rosemary, and...

Fred.

Is that you?

Fred! Where are you?

Varian?

Over here!

Oh, man.

All right.

Hey!

- Scotty, you all right? - Yeah, so far.

They haven't harmed you?

I'm all right, guys. Honest.

It's him they're worried about.

I told 'em maybe you could help.

Help him?

- He's very ill. - That is Aren.

He is our leader.

He has fallen sick of the swamp fever.

It has taken many of our people.

I told 'em you were both doctors.

It may be that your friend is too

far gone for either of us to help him.

You must help him. Now.

It was my fault.

I was late with Consun.

His central diode has always been erratic.

Yes, Jonathan.

Now, this should do it.

There you are, Consun.

Did you enjoy the salmon mousse, Master?

Very much, Consun.

Oh, I'm so glad the Master liked it.

Finish him up, Rachel and then come back to the house.

Turn around, Consun. I'll close you up.

Can't you do anything, Varian?

Not if he's suffering from a bacterial disease,

as I suspect he is.

You're right. At least, as close as I can come.

His body composition is close enough to ours

to make an educated guess, and my guess is malaria.

Your medicines are not as good as Willaway's?

Who is Willaway?

Beyond the mountain. The man.

He is from your time, I think.

He knows much.

Well, if he knows so much, why didn't you ask him

to help your leader?

He would not.

He does not think of us as beings of any worth.

All right.

But you gotta understand something about this medicine,

it could cure him, if his body structure

is as close to ours as I think it is.

But if I'm wrong, it could kill him.

- Good afternoon, Father. - Cyrus.

Rachel will be needing your help in the house.

- Go to her now. - Yes, Father.

He's a handsome boy, isn't he?

All your sons are handsome.

Some men are lucky. I was.

Very much so, I would say.

You don't understand.

I came here alone.

And to some extent, I am still alone.

But you have your sons and Rachel.

Rachel is not my wife. She is more of a companion.

I have been looking for someone with whom

to share my life.

I'm afraid I don't quite understand.

In this place, what is there to try and understand?

All time. Past, present and future.

Universal mankind meeting itself,

coming and going.

So, I have tried to learn to appreciate

the fundamentals.

There's a great deal of beauty here.

Don't you think so, Miss Liana?

Oh, it is beautiful.

Really beautiful.

And I've enjoyed seeing it all with Cyrus.

I really do like him.

Then, um, why don't you go find him? Now.

Father?

Just as you suspected.

The three people she asked about

are with the green people, in the swamp.

Keep an eye on them, Escalus.

Do not interfere with them unless it appears

they are going to leave the swamp.

Then report to me.

Yes, Father.

I don't believe this.

Every indication of malarial infection is gone.

It's like he's never been sick.

Here, try to sit up.

Easy.

Well, your medicines are most effective.

And you must have some kinda metabolism, fella.

Perhaps you could tell your friends here.

They will not harm you.

I'm their leader, and they feared for me.

Now they see I am safe, they will do nothing.

There is a high standard of honor among my people,

even though we've been reduced from a technological

capability beyond your imagining, to this.

If you have this capability, why do you live

in a place like this?

Not long ago, Willaway came to us.

He was as different to our eyes

as you are to us.

We gave him the hospitality of our community,

and our homes.

And in return for this,

he subverted our helpers, then turned them into soldiers

to take our community away from us,

and drive us here.

Now, we were afraid you had come from him,

though it has been a long time since he has been here.

The man from beyond the mountain.

Willaway.

He is of your kind.

What were you like as a child, Cyrus?

What did you do?

I don't know.

I would tell you my past.

I can't, Liana.

But you keep saying that.

Don't you want us to even be friends?

Oh, yes.

It's just that I can't remember.

Liana?

Does it matter so much?

No.

Ah!

There you are. Have a nice day?

Beautiful, Mister Willaway.

We were out by the lagoon.

Oh, that's one of my favorite achievements.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Now, my dear...

We have discussed your future.

My future?

I have informed Rachel that you will become my wife.

What do you mean?

I thought I made it perfectly clear.

You and I are going to be married.

Oh, this is some kind of a joke?

No, I'm perfectly serious.

Oh, well, you're crazy.

Not at all.

You will learn that what I want

is what I get around here.

Well, you don't get me.

Bring her back.

Yes, Father.

Our first concern is Liana.

Where could the storm have carried her?

Your companion, Liana, is either in the swamp,

or beyond the mountain.

And none of our people in the swamp have seen her.

Can you lead us to her, even if she's beyond the mountain?

Yes. We can do that.

But you must understand that we cannot help you

with the man, Willaway.

After everything he's done to you?

He has all our helpers.

He even made them to look like himself.

And forgive me, but more like you also.

They are too many of them. we cannot defeat him.

You could do something to change that.

We want to take back what is ours,

but Willaway is too strong.

Then why not leave here? Go someplace else.

He is only one man. He will not live forever.

Then it will be ours again.

Ah. Escalus.

There's two men and a boy coming in this direction.

We shall prepare for them.

- Yes, Father. - Thank you, Escalus.

Ah, Cyrus.

Ive been working on this sketch for the new

sleeping quarters.

Uh, do you think Miss Liana will like it?

Oh, yes, Father. It is very beautiful.

But it seems as though you're making Liana sad.

If you're going to marry her,

why should that make her sad?

That should be of no interest to you, Cyrus.

I know, Father.

But Liana makes one interested in things.

Oh?

- Such as? - Wondering...

And feeling.

Feeling good and warm and happy.

You...

Feel these things?

Yes, Father.

You...

- Feel? - Yes, Father.

Oh, you don't.

How could you possibly feel for her

or she feel for you?

You are inanimate, Cyrus.

You are nothing more than an amalgam of

simulated flesh and bone.

Your marrow transistorized.

Your heart is a battery, your veins and arteries

are wire filament.

Father. I feel!

I cannot help it.

Please do not make Liana sad,

I beg you.

All right, Cyrus.

- We will speak with her. - Thank you, Father.

Miss Liana?

I have come to apologize.

I've been terribly wrong

and I'm very sorry if I have frightened you in any way.

And, uh, if you wish to leave, you may.

My father has come to make you happy.

- He found the way. - Good.

And I thought you might like one last taste of Aldacta.

To speed you on your journey.

I'll be happy to leave here, Cyrus,

but I am going to miss you.

To my friends and my journey.

To your journey and to finding what you seek.

Cyrus tells me he has feelings for you,

and you for him.

We are good friends.

That is impossible.

Impossible? To have feelings for each other?

Cyrus, hold this.

- No, Father, please. - Observe.

The only feelings that Cyrus has for you

are those with which I have programed him myself.

No, Father. Please. Not now, not...

Cyrus is an android.

Everyone around you here is an android, except me.

There are only two flesh and blood humans here.

You and I.

Don't you understand what that means?

Please, Father. Not now.

- She sleeps, Father. - Yes.

Now we must prepare to greet our guests.

- Greetings. - Greetings.

We have come for Liana, a woman of our party.

We have reason to believe that she is with you.

Oh, yes indeed, she was here.

Oh, I am sorry you didnt arrive earlier.

She's traveled eastward, looking for you.

I don't understand her going on

without waiting for us.

When did she leave?

Oh, it's no more than four hours ago.

You can catch her.

Look, my sons will show you her route.

They've traveled it often.

Yes. She was concerned about you and had us look for you.

But then she began to think

that you must have been lost in the storm.

So she rested here for a while,

then she would go on.

And you just let her?

Well, there was very little I could do to stop her.

She's a very strong-minded young woman. Oh.

Uh, friend, you've been a real help.

But before we go on after Liana,

what we would really appreciate is some food.

Yeah, that's for sure. I haven't eaten since breakfast.

Oh, of course.

My home is open to you. Come on.

Well, now.

You haven't told me how you came here,

or even what time you're from,

thought I would judge it was close to mine.

Well, Scott and I are from 1977,

and we're here because, in a manner of speaking,

we're on a journey back to that time.

We've heard of this place called Evoland,

where you can get back.

And you, sir?

My time was Earth-year 2230.

Hmm.

What an irony that anybody would want to go back.

Am I correct that in the 50's and 60's,

there was a scientist of some repute named Willaway?

Jonathan Willaway?

"Some repute?" Oh, I dare say.

An iconoclast, yes.

A thorn in the body scientific, a bane to

society's conscience.

But I dare say they were very happy to hear

that my plane disappeared over the Sea of Japan in 1963.

Oh, I would never go back.

Right here, I have the best of all possible worlds.

I build my dream castles. I lack no comforts,

no companionship.

Is the companionship of androids quite as

fulfilling as that of men?

You guessed.

I detect no alpha waves in your family.

Androids.

I find their company a great deal more pleasant

than any I've previously encountered.

Well, now, it's getting late,

and with Miss Liana having at least a four hour start,

I'm sure that you will want to leave.

My sons and Robert, will escort you to the next valley.

- Farewell. - I thank you.

You've been a most gracious host.

Oh, you're entirely welcome. Goodbye.

Robert?

Under no circumstances allow them to return.

Yes, Father.

Man, I've seen a bum's rush, but this is ridiculous.

I know. They're not showing us, they're takin' us.

There's a reason for that.

Among all the android readings I was getting,

I was receiving two sets of alpha waves.

One was close and strong, that's Willaway.

But there was another one, further off.

Liana.

I believe she's still in the villa.

For whatever reason, Willaway does wanna us to know.

We've got ourselves a problem,

'cause these fellas are not gonna let us double back.

It won't be easy to overcome three androids,

but, somehow, we must.

Cyrus, I didn't send for you.

I know, Father.

But it is about Liana.

She cried this morning because she could not

go with her friends.

They are human, like you.

Yet, you do not treat them as such.

- Cyrus. - Yes, Father?

Have you been to rejuvenation?

- Yes, Father. - I see.

And for reprogramming?

- No, Father. - I see.

The problem is more serious than I thought.

Cyrus, prepare for reprogramming.

- Immediately. - Yes, Father.

- Ready, Scott? - Yeah.

Varian? Okay, go, Scotty, now.

Ow, oh, my knee!

Oh, I think I twisted it!

I must tell Father of this.

He mustn't get away.

That's the first time I ever had that one pulled on me.

I wouldn't wonder.

Now that Willaway's been warned,

we're gonna have to take our chances.

Strange that one of your sons should be a traitor.

He is not a traitor.

He simply became unprogrammed.

Sometimes, it happens.

Oh.

I did think of him as a son.

It is almost as if he died.

Robert, what happened?

We did badly, Father.

And I'm sure they will be able to find their way back here.

Something's funny here.

We have no choices, do we?

Well, where do you think they have Liana?

I think she's somewhere in the villa.

Hey, we got company.

We've come for Liana, Willaway.

I would very much doubt you could take her from me.

Nevertheless, we want her.

Bring Miss Liana.

Cyrus, it's my friends. They've come for me.

They are prisoners.

Willaway wants you now.

Cyrus, please.

You can't forget all the things we said and did together.

Didn't those moments mean anything to you?

Oh, Cyrus, please. Help us.

I cannot. Willaway wants you.

Cyrus.

Help us get away, please.

You are our only hope.

- Please. - Liana.

Do not be unhappy.

Please come, now.

The man has had our servants capture

the one who aided you.

I have seen it, Toren.

Perhaps the one who aided you was right

when he said it was possible to overcome the man.

- Perhaps. - He also said,

"If you let one man kick sand in your face

on the beach,

""there are going to be 20 more to do it the next time."

There is no honor in that.

It is time for me to lead again.

Your friends have returned for you.

Now, my terms are quite simple.

You will stay here with me,

or they shall die.

If they die, I will die with them.

You would let her do this?

It's her decision to make.

Then you shall all die together!

- No, Master! - Stop him!

Who are these people?

Arusians, Liana. They lived here once.

The androids remember them as their masters.

What's happening to the androids?

They're stopping.

They must have destroyed their power source.

Why, Cyrus?

I gave you a beautiful place to live.

I even made you my son.

Why have you done this?

Liana.

You make her unhappy.

But I reprogrammed you!

Liana?

Liana?

Willaway?

We want back what is ours, and are ready to fight for it.

Fight?

What is there to fight for?

It was all so perfect, and now look.

It will be perfect again, but you will not be here.

You may have the swamp if you desire it.

You are free to leave, but leave now.

I have very little to take with me.

Oh...

Oh.

Thank you for giving us the courage to become again

what we once were.

What about your androids?

This can all be repaired.

Perhaps we will leave them looking as you are,

to remind us of you.

You are welcome to remain with us

for as long as you wish.

Thank you, but we must still seek out our goal.

Yeah, Evoland.

Yeah, I heard that.

Hey, look!

Sil-L!

Oh!

Well, I guess that makes it official.

As you said, I heard that.

Oh, hello there.

You decided against the swamp.

It's not my style.

Where then?

Some other place. Some other people.

But alone?

Well, society and I do seem to have our problems.

I wonder why.

You might travel with us.

Wait a minute, after what he was gonna do?

Well, now why would you possibly want me

to travel with you?

You're alone, and you never would've killed us.

That is true.

You know, if Liana had called my bluff,

I don't know what I possibly would've done.

- But how did you know? - I'm from the future, remember?

And I know more about you than you do.

I don't understand.

In my time, the Jonathan Willaway Award

was given annually to 10 scientists,

whose work was distinguished most for its contribution

to life not death.

A posthumous memorial.

It took about 20 years.

They credited you, Willaway,

with creating a scientific ethic which became universal.

One of the building blocks in achieving the kind

of world that I knew.

Then I was appreciated, after all.

Well, a lot of good that does me now.

Of course.

I'll travel with you, of course.

I may, sometimes, not be the ideal companion,

but I do want to tell you that...

Willaway, please.

Let's just get it on.

Liana, I hope you can forgive me.

All I really wanted was some human companionship.

Well, I think we can give you that.

Hmm.
