Wolf's Rain (2003) s01e16 Episode Script

Dream Journey

I never imagined that I'd ever come this far.
I never thought I'd ever head out on a journey.
But I found myself all alone.
I didn't know what else to do.
Here.
These taste better.
Aren't you hungry? It's not poisoned or anything.
See, it's fine.
Where'd you come from, fella? If you wander around here, the dog catchers are gonna get you.
You sure are warm.
Leara! 'Bye, now.
Don't.
Even if you followed me home, I wouldn't be able to keep you.
It's almost like you can understand me.
I'm really sorry.
At that moment, I was thinking, "She's so nice I wish I could live with her.
" Um, thanks.
Huh? For the sausages.
Wha--? You gave some to a dog.
To my dog, remember? Oh, that dog was yours? That dog? Oh, right! Yeah, that's right! How did you know? Um, I heard from the lady at the store.
What's its name? Name? It's Toboe.
Toboe? That's a weird name.
You think so? I guess so I'm Leara.
What's your name? I just said.
It's Toboe.
Not your dog, you.
Oh.
Uh, it's the same as mine.
I named it after myself.
You're pretty strange, all right.
Leara! Look, here's your bird.
Hey.
Wake up.
Leara? He's dead He's dead.
I didn't I didn't mean to.
I didn't think it would die.
It was your bird, so I just wanted to I didn't mean to kill it Granny, she I was all alone at the dome entrance, and she was really nice to me.
She said I was so little my eyes had barely opened.
She gave me these, and we lived together ever since.
Don't you mean that she kept you as a pet? You were tamed and turned into a dog.
I did not! I protected her.
But she still Threw you out? She still died.
She died.
I let her die.
I can survive just fine on my own! Huh? Did I take a wrong turn? One of our own, huh? Get moving! That's the last time I trust your nose.
Anybody's nose would go numb after a night in that stinkhole.
Y-You guys You're also-- Leara! Don't be scared.
I won't do anything.
I wanted to see you again.
I wanted to apologize for your bird.
Dad Dad Dad! DAD! He's here! It's the wolf! The wolf is here! This way, Dad! Calm down, calm down, calm down! Why, Leara? No, stay away! Y-You're not normal! No one could ever trust you! But why? I just wanted you to trust me.
Don't come any closer! You want to catch me, don't you?! Stay away! This way! But if we stay here, we'll spend our whole lives sneaking around and hiding.
We can't live with the humans.
C'mon, hurry! I'm getting ready to! Jump.
Our journey had begun.
The path is rough, and we've got nothing to eat.
It's really tough compared to when I was in the city, but It's hard to explain.
It's kinda nice.
It's like I've got my friends with me.
I had a dream where we'd reached Paradise.
It was amazing.
Red 'n blue flowers were blooming as far as the eye could see.
And they were all Lunar Flowers! Have you ever seen a Lunar Flower? Well, no It's faint, but I smell Lunar Flowers It's here Paradise is up ahead, I know it! Where are you from? A city to the north.
Why are you here? We're just passing through.
What business would we have in an empty dump like this? Where are you headed? Where are we headed? To Paradise! Why are they laughing? Because they don't know about Paradise.
Oh, we know all about it.
It's just a legend.
Legend? There's no such thing as Paradise.
We've been there.
We've seen it.
That wasn't Paradise.
That place was Hell.
Look.
That's the entrance over there.
Many young wolves have set out through there.
But not one has ever reached Paradise.
What a stench It reeks of death.
I wonder what Paradise is like? You still believe in it? In what? There's no such place as Paradise.
They said they've been there and it was no paradise.
It's stupid to keep going on this trip.
Cut it out.
Getting mad just makes you hungrier.
Or it might be nice to just hang around here and die in the gutter.
It's not that I'm confident or anything.
I'm not even sure of it, myself.
But it's screaming inside of me.
It's just that I've always had to know.
To reach that place, I've kept running.
I can't imagine living without believing in it.
Hey, what's the matter? You've given up on going to Paradise? It's not safe for a kid to wander around by himself.
Always move with your pack.
What are you guys doing here? Excuse me? I know why you weren't able to get to Paradise.
You people are dogs.
You little punk! What the hell is going on down there?! The train only makes a brief stop at this station.
It lets both the humans and us eat.
That's how we make our living.
There's a stray dog loose! Clinging to this place and doing what you do, you call that a life?! What do you know about it?! You're pathetic.
You kids are still young.
What the hell were you up to last night? You didn't get all those wounds at the station.
It's not like I care or anything I saw them once when I was a little.
Where I was born, they blossomed all over.
What are you talking about? White flowers that only bloomed under a full moon They were Lunar Flowers.
You ordered this? What? Don't play dumb! What are you talking about? Is it true that you sold out our friend to the humans? That guy said to kill him! You told them to kill him! Moss! This is my pack! Why did you sell out their friend? He's an outsider.
Isn't it you who's selling out your friends, Zali?! What?! It's the truth! You don't even do a dog's work! Nobody sees you as the leader anymore! Stay out of this! Stop it! Just stop it! That's enough Stop it! Zali If you're going to give up on Paradise and turn back, now's the time.
I've got nowhere to go back to.
So all I can do is move forward.
Even if Hell is where we're headed.
You people might not have found it, but we're going to.
We'll find Paradise.
I don't know what happened.
But I always believed it.
I always believed that Tsume might say something like this someday.
Damn mad dogs! This is as far as I can go.
Go the rest of the way yourselves.
You're not coming? You're going to keep living here? I don't know if the place we tried to reach was the real thing.
But there are probably those who can go to Paradise, and those who can't.
Find out for yourselves if the real Paradise is at the end of this road.
You know, you don't seem much like a wolf.
Tsume! A wolf only protects his own pack.
Yeah.
I've gone to the dogs.
Flowers are clever things.
Even if they've vanished, they haven't gone extinct.
Almost like wolves.
Flowers won't die so long as there's a moon.
And neither will wolves.
A lot has happened since we left the city.
We're still as hungry as always, but But maybe we're all feeling the same way now.
C'mon, runt! If you don't get a move on, we'll leave you behind! What's going on?! Man, they're really going at it She's there I feel it Feel what? I don't know.
But it's familiar Don't you guys feel anything?! Kiba! Wait for us! That scent W-What's that? It's her.
It's really her.
My heart just skipped a beat! Who is that? Wait! Cheza.
We meet at last I wish somebody had hold me like that Is that really-- Yeah.
That's the Flower Maiden.
We're continuing our journey, now with Cheza.

In life, if you change your point of view, you can see different sides of things.
Like, you might think someone is a nice guy, but he's actually a schemer.
Or you might think somebody is clever, but he's actually an idiot.
