Eureka Seven episode 20 Substance Abuse


Maeter: Mama's gonna be okay, right?

Maurice: It's all right. I'm sure it's nothing bad. Holland said so, didn't he?

Maeter: Yeah...

Mischa: Slowly, Talho. Take her to the real exam table.

Talho: Got it.

Renton: Hey, wait a minute! What did you do that for?

Holland: No ifs and or buts... You're staying outside!

Holland: So, can you help her, Mischa?

Mischa: No, I can't. Rather, modern medicine can't peel this scub off her without causing damage. However, her cardiovascular functions seem to be stable and her vital signs are good. I shouldn't have any problems in sustaining her life. But I...

Holland: Fine. I got it. For the time being, what happened to Eureka stays between us. Got that?

Mischa: All right.

Talho: Well, what about Renton? What are you planning to tell Renton about this?


Maeter: Holland!

Renton: How's Eureka?!

Maurice: How is she?

Linck: How is Mama?

Maeter: Mama's okay, right? Right?!

Holland: She's just fine! Nothing she can't handle.

Linck: I'm so glad.

Maurice: See, guys. She's just like I told you. Mama's gonna be fine.

Maeter: You're such a liar! You were all teary-eyed like I was!

Maurice: Hey, that's not true. I was not.

Linck: Uh, huh, I saw you!

Maurice: You're tattletale.

Renton: Is she really all right? I think we need to take her to a proper hospital! The city of Lievelville has a big hospital that I can take

Holland: You need to shut your mouth! I'm telling you, Eureka is just fine! Are you dissatisfied what I was telling you?

Renton: It's not about you! It's about Eureka's wellbeing!

Talho: Stop it! Both of you.

Holland: Damn you.

Hap: Holland! Talho! Come to the bridge. We have a call from Master Delgel of the Vodarac. There's something urgent he wants to ask you.


Hap: We got a message from the Vodarac via code JIG at 12:30 today. It was a request to rescue a certain "high priest X."

Matthieu: High priest X?

Ken-Goh: That just means that they can't disclose his name.

Hap: You're right about that. Right now, high priest X is locked up in the Dove Grave Prison accused of a political crime. It's apparently a false charge, but X has been unable to get a proper trial, and about to be executed.

Talho: And they want us to go and save him.

Hap: Yeah. You got it.

Ken-Goh: How long before they execute him?

Hap: Well. Just two hours!

Matthieu: Oh, man! All things considered, that's impossible!

Hap: But in return, they’ll pay us 50 million!

Matthieu: Huh? Are you serious?

Talho: It just means nobody would accept the job if they didn't offer that much. If I recall, there's a state army base right near there.

Hap: Yeah, a hard place to get pass.

Jobs: All LFOs other than the Nirvash are discharged. And only one of the batteries has completely recharging.

Hap: Our lack of money is serious, but we have to let this one pass.

Holland: Wait. I'll go. In any case, this is a covert operation. A single battery should be enough. If I go in vehicle mode, I won't show up on the radar...

Renton: You've got to be kidding! You care more about money than about Eureka?! Isn't taking her to a hospital more important right now?!

Holland: Money is important! So as water, fuel, and food. And you know it's not free to go see a doctor.

Renton: But, even so...

Holland: I'm the leader here. You're just a little kid.

Renton: You were able to escape thanks to this little kid, weren't you? If it wasn't for my Nirvash, that operation would...

Holland: Oh, right, I nearly forgot. Thanks for the all hard work, Kid! You sure saved us, didn't you? Oh, and another thing... Where did you get off calling the Nirvash yours, you little twerp?

Renton: Eureka told me that was mine. She said that it was better for me to be piloting the Nirvash right now!

Hap: Alright, Holland, that's enough!

Holland: Stay out of it, Hap! He's got so full of himself!

Hap: I said, that's enough! You're the leader of Gekkostate for crying out loud. You really think you should vent your frustrations on Renton?! Geez, he's an unresisting child... It's embarrassing!

Renton: I'm gonna protect her. I'm gonna protect Eureka! Since you won't do it, I am going to take Eureka to a hospital. I'll get somehow! Dammit, dammit, dammit! Just because your body's a little bigger than mine, does that make you better than me?

Holland: I don't like your attitude to pretending you some kind of a knight or something.

Renton: I'm not pretending! Someday, I'll become a real knight! You'll see! I'm not going to help you out. Do the rescue mission yourself. I'll never help you so ???

Holland: You're so full of it! I don't need you, you jerk! I can take care of it by myself! I can do this thing all by myself.

Matthieu: Hey! Are you alive?


Holland: I have one chance from15:00 to 15:20. Even if I go through the dry valley over here, I should have plenty of time.

Hap: You're immature.

Holland: Huh?

Hap: Being so serious going against a little kid.

Holland: I was doing that.

Hap: You were, too.

Holland: I was not! I'm an adult!

Hap: The fact that you say you're an adult just proves that you're still immature.

Talho: Do you have a minute, Holland? I have something I want to ask you.

Hap: Mm?

Holland: Yeah? Renton is more than enough for that kind of stuff.

Talho: Don't be such an idiot. There's something else I want to ask you about.

Holland: I'm busy right now. I have to finish discussing my plans with Hap.

Talho: The Vodarac's request. Why did you accept? A high priest of the Vodarac might be able to cure Eureka, is that it?

Holland: I don't have time for this. We'll discuss it when I get back.

Talho: Stop running away like that. You used Eureka as a means to get away from the army and then get away from you-know-who.

Holland: Not true.

Talho: Oh yeah? What part? When it comes right down to, you can't do anything without putting the blame on someone else!

Holland: Not true! I'm not like that. I'm really... not like that at all.

Linck: Hey, Renton, are you okay?

Maeter: I'm sure Holland just got to him again. You'll be alright.

Renton: Holland?

Maurice: Hey, Renton, where are you going?

Linck: Are you gonna go fight back?

Maeter: Don't do it. There's no way you'd win, you know.

Renton: Aren't you guys even a little bit worried about Eureka?!

Linck: No way, 'cause Holland told that Mama was all right.

Maeter: You see, Renton. Holland was always the one who protected Mama for us.

Maurice: Yeah, that's right. From way, way before she became our mama.


Prison Guard: Get out!

Renton: Nirvash... What in the world are you? It's not the same us with Eureka. No matter how I try, I can't hear your voice.

Stoner: I'm going to take photographic evidence! You've been prohibited from piloting the Nirvash, haven't you?

Renton: Yeah, so what? I'm just sitting here!

Stoner: Do you think it's all right? You know...

Jobs: The Seven Swell?

Stoner: Yeah... Even though we were saved because of it, it's still too dangerous. Besides, I can't really put it to words, but... But it just doesn't fit in the camera frame too well.


Holland: I've just passed by point I-509. No signs of the enemy. Everything is going according to plan.

Hap: Hey, Holland.

Holland: Hmm?

Hap: If you get in a bind, you hind your tale and back here.

Holland: Huh. Trust me, Hap. Missions like these are no big.

Hap: No big deal. It had done a lot, right? You're talking about stuff that had happen three years ago when you're still the ace pilot with the SOF

Holland: I'm almost through the forest. I'll be severing communications soon.

Holland: Believe it... I can still pull this off.

Prison Guard: Enjoy it. This is the last time you get to look at the sky.

Prisoner A: I guess he really is a priest. He doesn't seem worried at all.

Prisoner B: Too bad. Believing alone won't save you here.

Prison Guard: Hey, look at that.

Prisoner A: Hey, what's he do?

Prisoner B: Maybe you should try it. When you pray like that, God will come down to where you are.

Prison Guard: It's an LFO!

Prison Guard: Shoot it! Now!

Prison Guard: Dammit! Don't let them go away!

Holland: Get in the back seat! I was sent here by Master Delgel of the Vodarac!

Priest: Everything not happens. Happens as god by the Vodarac.

Holland: I have a girl that I want you to save somehow. You think that guidance that you guys talk about. A scub... Mm? KLFs?! I guess I've been forced into war a lot here.


Renton: Miss Talho...


Holland: Damn. Hey, Mister Priest!

Priest: Hmm?

Holland: Can you use that to tie my head up? The blood's getting in my eyes! Hurry up!

Priest: Yes. Of course.


Talho: Why did you come here?

Renton: I just... thought that I would take a glimpse of her face.

Talho: Hmm? You thought about doing lewd things to her while she was sleeping, right?

Renton: And what were you doing here, Miss Talho?

Talho: I was thinking about killing her. It's a joke. Each and every one of you pisses me off. Every guy opens the mouth, it's "Eureka this, Eureka that." I could compete if she was a normal girl. But I'm... I'm going against the world.

Renton: The world?

Hap: Everyone. Get your stations! Holland is in trouble.


Holland: Come on, Holland! This isn't the first time you've faced this many KLFs!

Priest: Are we able to make our escape?

Holland: You stay quiet! We're going to take a nosedive! Make sure to hold on tight.

Priest: Oh. Uh, right!

Holland: Okay, what will I do? What do my instincts say? Do I go left or turn right? Go left or go right? Left!

KLF01: All right, I destroyed his board!

KLF02: Now all he can do is crawl around on the ground!

KLF03: I'll take him down slowly. You want to be able to run now.

Renton: It serves him right. It's because his eyes went straight for the money. He cursed himself because he didn't take her to a hospital! He didn't care about Eureka!

Talho: Did you really think that he would do something just for the money? He'd never do that! He... he... he went so he'd get trying to save Eureka! Because that thing on Eureka can't be fixed by any doctor! Because it can only be fixed by a Vodarac priest! For money? That could never be the case. That idiot always takes care of Eureka more than anything else! More than any wave. More than even me! Maybe even more than himself!

Ken-Goh: Jobs! I don't care which LFO, get it moving ASAP! It's gonna be damn dangerous, but we have to show ourselves in front of the enemy!

Talho: Ken-Goh...

Ken-Goh: Talho! Don't just stand there! It's your job to be steering this ship and hurry up to get toward it.

Hap: Flywheels are go. Ready for catapult release! Woz, Gidget, get to up the bridge!

Ken-Goh: Hap, establish communication with the Vodarac! Don't use normal connections!

Talho: Staring as 1-2-0-6! Prepare to light up both boosters!

Renton: I...

Holland: But if anything bad should happen to her, I'll kill you, you understand?

Renton: I...

Eureka: See? There's nothing else but I can really believe in other than the Nirvash and Holland.

Renton: Holland has always wanted to protect Eureka.

Maeter: You see, Renton? Holland was always the one who protected Mama for us.

Renton: But... But, I... I'm such a kid. I'm just an immature kid that doesn't know anything!


Holland: The former ace pilot of the SOF First Mobile Squadron ends up like this? Ha. It's just like Hap said. Geez, what the hell am I doing? I really am pathetic.

KLF03: C-Captain!

Captain: Don't panic! Keep your distance! As long as we surround him, there's nothing to fear!

KLF03: Wait a minute. That's... That's the Type Zero!

KLF01: Zero-Three!

Holland: That kid... Who would have thought he'd bust through all by himself. Yeah, well. He's still just a kid.

KLF02: The Skull KLF squadron has been annihilated.

KLF01: How many enemy ships?

KLF02: I believe it's one LFO!

Hap: Well done, you got'em, Renton! Talho, looks like he made it in time!

Renton: I'm a kid. That's all. I'm just a little kid that can't do a damn thing. But I...

KLF03: Zero-Three to Zero-One! We have one LFO coming fast!

Renton: I, I didn't know anything. Nothing about Holland. Nothing about Eureka. Nothing at all. Nothing at all!

KLF01: All ships, are you alright?!

KLF02: Zero-Two to Zero-One! The squadron casualties will increase if we enter close-range combat right now!

KLF01: When the smoke clears, we'll all fire at once!

KLF02: Roger!

Renton: Damn it!

Holland: Thanks for picking them off for me. Renton, that's enough.

Renton: Damn it... Damn it!

Renton: Die!

Holland: Renton, what's wrong with you? Enough! We need to get back! Hey, Renton! Are you listening to me? Renton! Renton, answer me! Renton!

Priest: Om mani daram, om mani daram...

Holland: Renton, you gotta calm down! You're going too far! That's enough! It's all over!

Renton: Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

Hap: Holland! What's going on there?! Explain the situation!

Holland: It's a rider's high? No, he's gone way beyond that. If Renton is really piloting that thing... The Nirvash is...


Talho: Everyday life crumbles away, and the truth surfaces. The boy, losing sight of what he should believe in, heads down to the wilderness with nothing to turn to. Next episode: "Runaway."
