Kino's Journey: The Beautiful World - The Animated Series (2017) s01e06 Episode Script
In the Clouds
1
Hey, can you see?
In the Clouds
No, not at all.
Just a little knowledge
If only they'd had just a little knowledge.
That's harsh.
Yeah. There might be
things I don't know, too.
And maybe one day I'll meet the same fate
because I didn't know any better.
Of course, I'd like to avoid that,
but there's no way to prevent
it if you don't know.
Hey, Hermes, do you think I know?
Who knows?
It'll clear soon, Kino.
Yeah.
Kino's Journey
Kino's Journey
Could you carry this?
Sure thing!
By the way
Yeah?
Hey, hey, give me a snack!
I'm hungry!
All right, all right.
Yay!
Take it to the young master,
and have him divvy it up for you.
Okay!
Slave! Slave! Slaves are stupid!
You'll catch the stupid!
Hey, slave.
Hurry up with that.
Yes.
Jeez, so slow.
Do your work.
Why did our leader decide to pick up
such a useless brat in that last country?
That country was a religious
nation, as you know,
but they have a wonderful commandment.
What's that?
"You must always believe
in others at all times."
Huh
The real point comes after that.
We went to sell goods in that
country like we always do,
but this time, they didn't
have quite enough to pay up.
So the nation's leader told us,
"This girl is a hard worker,
so please take her as a servant,"
and handed her over to us.
What a wonderful story, right?
Yeah, that sounds like a
wonderful guy, all right!
What a wonderful country!
She was an orphan, apparently,
so it was the perfect way
to get rid of a nuisance.
What an awful country your homeland is, huh?
Tch, ignoring me?
You've got some nerve.
Say something! Come on!
What should I say?
What do you think of us?
What do you think of the guy who sold you?
You must hate both sides, right?
No.
Oh? And why's that?
"You must not hate others, no matter what."
That's the way of things.
Good grief.
Listen to you.
You still believe the teachings
of the guys who sold you?
I'm sure the priest
was telling me to go see this vast world.
Or perhaps he believed it would
open up a good future for me.
I believe my future is
being tested right now.
You're a hopeless idiot.
You were sold!
You've been thrown into a situation where
you don't get to complain if
you're beaten or even killed.
Yet you still don't resent us, hate us,
or think about killing us
when you get the chance?
No.
Resenting, hating, and trying
to kill others is evil.
I would never think of such things.
I mustn't.
Hey, slave. Listen well.
The world of man is hopelessly rotten.
People will so easily betray, harm,
and sometimes kill each other.
It's a world where only people
who are that inhuman survive.
No.
This world is wonderful.
People can love each other
and live life respecting each other.
Someday everyone will come to realize that,
and this will become a beautiful
world full of only such people.
Huh?
Do you seriously believe all that?
Yes.
I will never resent, hate,
or kill anyone. Not ever.
I would choose death for myself first.
When that time comes,
I'll probably die with a smile on
my face before whoever kills me.
That way, they may someday
come to understand, as well.
Wow, she's hopeless.
She's crazy in the head.
Hey!
Quit distracting the slave!
She's useless as it is!
All right, all right.
Go do your job, slave.
Once the range is ready,
bring out the dishes.
Yes.
I swear
Look, look!
We picked a bunch!
My, those look good, don't they?
Slave!
Go wash these!
Yes.
Come on!
You useless girl!
Keep those hands moving!
I refuse to live that life,
no matter what happens.
Or else you'll go without dinner!
Sorry
That's someone who's lost to fate.
What?
It's something my grandfather used to say.
"People can't change their own lives."
Luck is everything in this world.
We're lucky, so we get to
live life free like this,
traveling from country
to country as merchants.
That slave never had that luck.
I get it.
I'll gladly accept those words
of your grandfather's.
Did he teach you anything else?
Yeah, he did.
"Don't be a picky eater."
All right, everyone. Let us
give thanks to all creation.
Oh That's right.
They're poisonous.
They'll all die!
Now, everyone, let's enjoy tonight's meal.
D-Do Don't Don't eat it!
Thank you!
No
N-No
Why?
Why?
Okay, then
Me, too.
I'll join them.
Bullseye!
How was that? Good, huh?
What's going on, young master?
I saw her!
That filthy slave was about to
eat without a spoon, like a pig!
So I chucked a stone at her.
Father, was I wrong?
No, you did what was right.
You're a good boy.
But you shouldn't stand
up while you're eating.
I'm sorry, Mother.
But I'll clean my plate!
No, young master!
Please don't eat any more!
Please!
What's with her?
Would someone shut her up?
Please don't eat any more than you have!
Those herbs are poiso—
Father, I need to talk to you.
What is it?
That slave over there
Would you sell her to me for cheap?
What do you plan to do with her?
Kill her.
Oh?
I want to become a great man who
can fight and protect everyone.
I don't want to be the kind of weakling
who hesitates to kill when the time comes.
So I'll beat her senseless,
then I'll shoot her arms and legs,
and then I'll cut her
stomach open and kill her.
Very well.
R-Really?!
Sure.
I thought you were still too young,
but I suppose it is about time
you became a proper man.
Thank you so much!
I love you, Father!
Good luck with it, young master.
Hurry up and grow strong
so we can have it easy!
Before the Clouds
Wh-What is that?
It's so creepy.
Make her shut up!
What?
What's going on?
Kino's Journey
P-Please hang in there!
Wh-What happened?
Th-Those herbs
The herbs that grow around
here are poisonous.
I was too late to realize it
I didn't remember in time.
Oh The soup
I don't like vegetables,
so I didn't eat that much of it.
You didn't eat a bite.
No, wait
Back then, you
tried to gulp it straight down
That's right! I couldn't tell you!
I'm a terrible person!
In that moment, I thought it for an instant
I thought, "Let them all die."
I couldn't save them.
It's my fault they're all dead!
I didn't want to live life as a murderer,
so I was trying to die alongside them!
I see
Please, I beg you
Please kill me.
Huh?
Please. I beg you.
Please kill me!
Please let me die with everyone else!
I see
All right.
I can't
I don't have the strength anymore.
You hold it.
What do I do now?
I'll show you.
Don't move.
How's that?
That makes it easier to shoot, doesn't it?
First, hold it up at the middle
with your left hand.
Like this?
Yes. Then place your right hand
around the narrowest part.
Grip it.
Good. Now place your
index finger on the trigger.
There. Keep it right there.
Don't take your finger off it.
Calm down.
I'm not dead yet.
Now slowly raise it up.
L-Like this?
Yeah, that's right.
Wh-Why
What you said was right.
One day, you'll understand.
Man, nicely done!
They all kicked the damn bucket!
You're quite the clever strategist.
Huh?
Wh-Who's there?
Slow to react, aren't ya?
Over here!
Where are you?
Where
Here!
Don't be so surprised!
I've been talking to you
for a while now, jeez.
That's right! Right here.
Man, it's been forever
since I've been outside!
Is it your first time seeing a motorrad?
If you ask me how the hell I'm talking,
I won't hesitate to hit you.
If you ask me where my
mouth is, I'll kick you.
Um How do you
Ha! Good question!
You look like a blockhead,
but you're pretty sharp.
Hey now, why do you look so sad?
You're free now.
You can do whatever you
want from now on, lady!
I'm
I'm a murderer.
Idiot.
That man killed himself.
And not noticing the poisonous
herbs was their screw-up.
But if I had told them
You think that lot would've stopped eating?
No way in hell.
They'd say, "Stop lying to us, slave!"
Then they'd whip you. The end.
Either way, their luck just ran out.
And you were the lucky one.
Well done!
You're free now!
You're free. Did you hear me?
Hello?
Hey, tell me something
Sure. What is it?
What do I have to do to die?
That's easy!
Just live.
Every living creature dies someday.
I see.
I have to live?
Until I understand?
Yeah. Live out your life,
and eventually it'll end.
Once it does, you die.
I see.
So that's my only choice
Then I guess I will.
I'll be the one in a jam if you don't.
There's something I need you to do for me.
Huh? What?
Kiss this place goodbye with me!
I'll teach you how to drive a truck.
But before that,
be sure to grab anything in that truck that's
worth anything and load it into this one.
Ain't no one left to complain about it.
Then what?
Then what? Isn't that obvious?
We go somewhere together.
Oh, but before that, what's your name?
It's only polite to introduce yourself.
I'll let you go first.
None.
What?
None. I have no name anymore.
Well, whatever.
I'll give you one, then.
Though it's hard to come up
with one on the spot
I'll give it to you when I think one up.
How's that?
Okay.
That's right.
Gotta name newborn people.
Well?
They're all dead.
They probably
Probably what?
Didn't know.
Only the ones found growing
this high up are poisonous.
Those people probably didn't know.
Huh. So that's why they were wiped out.
It's not a sight I enjoy seeing.
Close your eyes, then?
In the Clouds
Since That Day
I still don't know anyone who's walked
as varied a destiny as she has.
Made an orphan,
sold as a slave,
failed to die, became a
wanderer, struck it rich
And now she works as a photographer.
She's so honest to a fault
that she told every last detail of her story
when we arrived in this country.
But to her incredible fortune,
they accepted her as an immigrant.
Then she became a photographer,
and at some point, everyone
started calling her "Photo."
Long ago, she told the guard up on that
mountain with the poisonous herbs,
"I believe my future is
being tested right now."
I don't know if she feels the same way now.
I've never asked.
I'm home, Sou!
Hey, welcome back, Photo.
Because right now, she seems happy.
