Eureka Seven episode 27 Helter Skelter

Renton: I know I've been looking her all this time. And I've been thinking about her all this time. But I think this was the first time that I took a good hard look at Eureka. Maybe I had before, and just didn't realized it or didn't want to admit to myself. Maybe it was all because I didn't realize anything until Eureka got beat up. Eureka... What awaited for us once we got back to the Gekko was a trip to the detention cell. Leader of Gekkostate was punishing us for abandoning the ship, striking out without permission. But why did he put the kids who had nothing to do with all of this and here with us? I don't understand. What in the world is Holland thinking?

Moondoggie: Sorry I'm late. There were things I had to prepare other than the meals for the five of you.

Renton: What do you mean, Moondoggie?


Moondoggie: I'm sorry, but you're gonna have to live off of this for a while. And make sure everyone wears one of these. I made sure there was one for each of you.

Renton: But, Brother Doggie, these are...

Moondoggie: Yeah, that's right. Bulletproof vests. There's also gas masks in there. Read user's manual.

Renton: Wait, Brother Doggie! What's going on?!

Moondoggie: Oh, yeah. Leader said that you should hold on to this. Eureka knows how to use it.

Renton: Brother...

Moondoggie: I don't know what's going on myself. Everyone is in a really uptight mood. In any case, you guys should just eat and sleep. If something happens, we'll come down and let you know. For now, just stay at Eureka's side. You know, when you were gone, Eureka was really lonely.


Woz: Enemy scouting, complete. There's nothing out there. It looks like the state army isn't pursuing us.

Ken-Goh: Seems like each time something like this happens, we're saved by a state army's mistake.

Talho: And the two riding in the Nirvash.

Ken-Goh: Where's Holland?

Talho: We should protect those two with our lives from this horrible bloodstained world.


Hilda: Can you put that aside, please? It's getting in the way of my checkup.

Matthieu: Okay. It's so full of stories that drag me down.

Hilda: Because of the growing frequency of large tectonic shifts all over the world. The hopes for something to replace the current regime is getting stronger.

Matthieu: Yeah, the way that the government has been trying to manage the rural areas is in one way and the central areas is another has messed up.

Hilda: At times like this, the masses long for a leader who has a strong will and firm hand, someone who can be their hero.

Matthieu: A hero. Like who?

Hilda: Well, how about Holland?

Matthieu: Kinda seems wrong.

Hilda: Yeah. It just doesn't ring true.


Holland: Charles Beams. Dewey Novac. Adroc Thurston.


Ken-Goh: It's been about 60 years since the towers start to govern themselves. Now every festering wound that is piled up over the years is spewing out.

Mischa: Hmm. They all want something to break through the feeling or being closed in for a reflection of the times, I guess.

Ken-Goh: Something that to be taken advantage of.

Mischa: They invent a hidden enemy to blame and use it to fool the eyes of the masses.

Ken-Goh: The Vodarac. And the Coralian.

Mischa: We fear what we don't know. The foundations of that have already been moving into the fabric of this world...


Charles: I'm beginning to feel that tight pinch on the bottom of my stomach. I haven't had this feeling in a while.

Ray: The tension one feels before death is the feeling of being alive. That's from an interview done right before the final of 67th International Lift Competition.

Charles: You have to push thing to the limit if you want your life to glimmer bright like a shooting star. The former squadron leaders of the SOF face off. A perfect way to settle the final score. It's a little belated but I'd like to thank Dewey who was setting all this op.


Holland: I've turned my eyes away as much as I could turn them. I've run away as much as I could. But, in the end... this is the only thing left for me.


Stoner: Hmm. They're leaking information concerning the Coralian. We've gotten into a full-on intelligence battle. Isn't it about time we call it quits for ray=out?

Hap: Looks like it. This isn't a kind of media that we can counter with a little self-published brag.

Stoner: I thought we'd be able to play around a little bit more.

Hap: You know, the time is past for you to be fooling around!

Stoner: That may be. But even without ray=out, I'm gonna continue to document all of your actions. Sorry Hap. That's the line I've drawn for myself for someone who doesn't engage in violent battle.

Hap: Do as you like. But I won't guarantee your survival.

Stoner: Well that's the plan for now. I'll decide later when the time for me to pull out and it's finally arrived.


Ray: We're almost there. One last confirmation. Cause there's no turning back. You really have no aggregation to do this.

Charles: Yeah. How about you, Ray? No backups, a mission that the two of us are doing all alone. It's so reckless. Why are you tagging along with no attempt to stop me?

Ray: It doesn't have anything to do with Dewey or Holland. I'm here because of that boy.

Charles: You mean Renton, right? What are you planning to do when you adopt him as your son?

Ray: He doesn't know anything yet. There's still time. We can't let that monster have him!

Charles: Ray, what's regulation No. 7 of the SOF? Do you remember?

Ray: Don't hesitate to think of the impossible.

Charles: It's rather nostalgic, isn't it?

Ray: Worst case scenario, I'll take both of them down. Before any more women like me are brought out into this awful world. Remember regulation No. 5?

Charles: Wait, what was it?

Ray: Leave behind no trace of your presence. Right?

Charles: I'm counting on you, partner.

Ray: Roger that, commander.


Gidget: But still, what I don't understand is why things ended up complicated all this sudden. Hey, Jobs, are you listening?

Jobs: Yes.

Gidget: Well?

Jobs: I'm sorry, I was lost in thought. But how I see it is slightly different. In the first place, this world has openly shown all its complexity. However, everything that's happening now is result of someone making us pretend as though we saw none of what we actually saw. What you refer to as all of the "complicated things."

Gidget: Oh, I kinda now that you put that way. Everyone can get tired of showing effort.

Jobs: However... There are situations that won't allow for that. And times when you have to pay the tab that you've run up. You see?

Gidget: That's kind of scary.

Talho: You guys shouldn't be blabbing about this. There's work to do.

Gidget: Hey, don't sneak up on me like that! I asked Doggie about Eureka and everything else, but all he says that he doesn't know.

Talho: What about the security checks?

Gidget: They're all done!

Talho: Then why don't you go back and get some rest?

Gidget: I haven't been able to sleep lately.

Talho: Then just waiting your quarters. Doggie should do that, too. You rest whenever you're able to, okay?

Gidget: Okay. Bye, Jobs. See you later.

Jobs: Good night, Gidget. Sweet dreams.

Holland: Status?

Talho: Onboard check is complete. Hey, Holland. You know, if nothing happens after all of this, I'm cracking up.

Holland: Come on. Didn't working Intelligence teach you anything? If I were him, I'd rush in without a mercy. Even if I had to do that of own. It's what the SOF was all about.


Charles: It's time.

Woz: We’ve confirmed a small Compac response beyond the cloud ahead of the port. There's a ship there!

Talho: Ken-Goh!

Ken-Goh: Attempting on the lock on the target. There's no time!

Talho: Evasive maneuver.

Hap: We got a hull breach, damage unknown! Engage all emergency hatches.

Woz: The seventh upper hatch is brown out!

Ken-Goh: An intruder?!

Talho: Intruder alert! Prepare for hand-to-hand combat! Renton! Eureka! Put on the emergency masks! Make sure the kids put on them, too. And stay where you are!

Renton: What in the world is going on out there?


Woz: A Kamikaze attack?

Talho: No, I'm sure it was...

Ken-Goh: You're right. They pretended to blow up right in front of the Gekko and scattered some explosives that they had prepared. Using the chaos of the explosions they blew away the hatch and entered the Gekko. They were already on the ship's hull before all started. A calculated move to breach our security.

Hap: Regardless, things are turning out just like Holland said. Jobs, report!

Jobs: Confirming all commanding control functions have shifted to the sub-bridge.

Woz: Are you changing the codes for the cracking trap every second?

Jobs: Yes. If you're that worried, crawl here through the ducts and do it yourself. The intruders had entered in the engine control! Here they come...

Charles: Huh? It's empty. And the power's all out here. I see. He figured out we were coming. A very good call, Holland! But this is all just the beginning. This is a party thrown by the leader of the SOF First Squadron! I'll be sure to have a real good time!

Gidget: Isn't that...

Woz: the infamous...

Holland: Charles Beams. Jobs! After you confirm closure of the duct valves, arm the anti-personnel lasers we set up all around the ship. Ray will be coming.

Ray: Anti-personnel lasers. Holland is very good. He anticipated everything, huh?

Renton: Eureka, are you all right?

Eureka: I'm fine, Renton. What about you?

Renton: I'm... Uh...

Eureka: Uneasy?

Renton: Of course.

Eureka: Well, I'm not.

Renton: Huh?

Eureka: Because I'm here together with you, Renton. I feel that I can overcome anything that comes at me as long as I'm together with you.

Hap: Where are they?

Jobs: The anti-personnel lasers on the bridge approach just fired. It looks like they've split into two forces.

Hap: And where's Holland?

Jobs: He sever the communication right after he called in front of the hangar six minutes ago. It's all right. There are still no signs of battle.

Hap: And Talho?

Jobs: She's currently moving through central duct number 2. In three minutes she should reach where Renton, Eureka, and the kids are.

Hap: Everything is going according to plan.

Ray: The OS hasn't been rewritten after all. Version 10, the same as on the Swan. It looks like Holland is having a tough time. But that fact will turn after be fatal for him before we're through.

Hap: What's happening?!

Woz: Wait! I'll get things back up! I can't believe that a trap that's changing second by second could be broken through so easily... We're up against someone as skilled as the Wizards.

Hap: It's got be Ray.

Charles: Shutting down all power other than what's needed for flight. I'd expect nothing less from my partner. Hey, Holland, where are you?! Why don't you quit hiding and come out here? That's pretty poor shooting from Holland. His skills couldn't have gone down, could they? I see. So that's where our rebel showdown will take place.

Charles: He doesn't show up on the night-vision goggles. Optical camouflage... No, stealth paint?! What the hell is this? Oh, I see. So that's what it really meant after all... Holland...

Holland: Just as I thought. Perception is everything. I'm totally invisible to him. I'm starting to be reminded of what this smell is about.

Renton: Miss Talho.

Talho: Is everyone all right? We got to head towards the sub-bridge veer the ducts right away.

Renton: Miss Talho, what's going on?!

Talho: I'll explain later! The enemies infiltrated the Gekko. Soon, this area...

Ray: Don't move.

Talho: Been a long time, Ray.

Ray: Talho Yuki from Intelligence, huh? The office-working spy who was dating her boss and then got demoted. Now, all of you inside, raise your hands and come out.

Renton: Miss Ray!

Ray: So, you were able to keep your promise. Why are there kids here?

Maeter: Mama...

Ray: Mama?

Ray: Mama?! How could that be? Talho, you try anything and I'll kill your dear princess!

Renton: Stop it, Miss Ray!

Ray: Renton! Please drop the gun, now!

Renton: I don't want to. I won't do it.

Ray: Listen, Renton, you don't know anything about what's going on. About who they call "mama" Who that girl sitting there really is!

Renton: Miss Ray!

Ray: Huh?

Renton: I, I mean it. Let us go. Please, Miss Ray. Stop it!

Woz: Say! Controls are back up!

Charles: They got control back. You've got yourself a good crew.

Holland: Charles! It's moving all by itself. I can't believe this.

Woz: But that's impossible...

Hap: Quick. Check the data.

Jobs: Alright.

Hap: Why did it start moving? What the hell is it responding to?!

Talho: It's over Ray. You realize that it's useless to resist, right? So, just stay quiet and I won't hurt you. Holland! We've captured Ray!

Holland: Charles...

Charles: I'm really touched. Your soft heart is the reason you're never gonna win. You should have already realized it. I knew it from the moment that I met him. The one who inherited the qualifications to be the King and who will inherit the Golden Bough left behind by the last King... Old friend. It's true a petty that it wasn't you...

Talho: Holland!

Holland: A few minutes ago, I ended the life of Charles Beams.

Ray: I see. Could you please let me see him?

Ray: I won't accept it... Her, a mother?! I will never accept it...

Renton: A body that was alive until moments ago. I've never seen anything like it. The first corpse of someone I knew. That... It's Charles. But, I couldn't accept the death that was there before my eyes or feel anything about it in my heart.

Talho: Ray, I'm really sorry, but I can't leave the two of you alone.

Ray: I can at least kiss him goodbye, right?

Talho: All right.

Ray: Renton! Make sure you watch! It's the end of the former SOF! The ends for those who has sins in their hearts. The responsibility of those who have ever won their freedom! Oh, Charles, have you had enough? Thank you, Charles. I love you.

Holland: Oh, no! Talho! Renton! Get down!

Renton: Miss Ray? Ray had set a time-bomb inside Charles' corpse... and then escape from the Gekko catching us all off guard with the explosion. At that moment, I didn't understand why Ray would do such a thing. And even when it was all over, Holland never explained to me what it meant. But I was, at the time, relieved that Ray was able to escape. I did not yet fully realize that this battle was far from truly over.

Renton: To be continued.
