1. The year was 1889.
Copy !req
2. At sea, ship after ship met with tragedy due to sea monsters.
Copy !req
3. It was also the year the Paris World Exposition,
Copy !req
4. representing the cream of scientific civilization, was held.
Copy !req
5. Jean, who loves new inventions, befriended King, a baby lion,
Copy !req
6. and Nadia, a girl who is a circus performer.
Copy !req
7. Nadia also possesses a marvelous gem called the Blue Water.
Copy !req
8. An evil trio who want to steal this gem, kidnapped Nadia,
Copy !req
9. but Jean managed to rescue her unharmed.
Copy !req
10. Nadia and King can no longer return to the circus,
Copy !req
11. and have decided to go with Jean to Le Havre.
Copy !req
12. What is the secret that lies behind Nadia's Blue Water?
Copy !req
13. The Little Fugitive
Copy !req
14. The Little Fugitive
Copy !req
15. Nadia, don't worry. They can't do anything now we're this far away.
Copy !req
16. They must have given up by now.
Copy !req
17. Don't worry so much!
Copy !req
18. When we reach Le Havre, I'm sure Auntie will help us.
Copy !req
19. I know.
Copy !req
20. Catch up with those kids quickly!
Copy !req
21. If we don't hurry, it's going to get dark.
Copy !req
22. Leave it to me!
Copy !req
23. Of all things, being pushed around by those kids.
Copy !req
24. Nadia, if we could fly...
Copy !req
25. If you could really fly, where would you want to go?
Copy !req
26. I...
Copy !req
27. I'd like to go back to the country where I was born.
Copy !req
28. The country where you were born? Where's that?
Copy !req
29. I don't know.
Copy !req
30. Do you mean you've forgotten?
Copy !req
31. Yes, I don't remember.
Copy !req
32. But King keeps telling me it's Africa.
Copy !req
33. I have a feeling he's right.
Copy !req
34. But Africa is so far away,
Copy !req
35. and it's so big.
Copy !req
36. King wants to return to Africa too, don't you?
Copy !req
37. Africa?
Copy !req
38. That is far away.
Copy !req
39. King, what's the matter?
Copy !req
40. What's that?
Copy !req
41. What can it be?
Copy !req
42. Amazing, a ship covered with iron plates!
Copy !req
43. But it looks familiar somehow.
Copy !req
44. It's them! They've found us!
Copy !req
45. I knew it!
Copy !req
46. It flies through the air and floats on water. What a vehicle!
Copy !req
47. Come on, we've got to get away!
Copy !req
48. I guess you're right.
Copy !req
49. Jean, they'll catch up with us!
Copy !req
50. Don't worry.
Copy !req
51. Looks like they caught sight of us.
Copy !req
52. It's too late for them.
They can't get away from us.
Copy !req
53. Engines, full power!
Copy !req
54. Aye, aye!
Copy !req
55. We've got them now!
Copy !req
56. The game is over. You'd better give up!
Copy !req
57. Jean!
Copy !req
58. Don't worry! I guess it's time to use our final weapon.
Copy !req
59. Separation of aft section!
Copy !req
60. Hydrofoil ship Emeraude II, take off!
Copy !req
61. That's unbelievable!
Copy !req
62. How's that? We must've left them miles behind.
Copy !req
63. The foils lift the ship and lower water resistance.
Copy !req
64. That's the secret to its speed.
Copy !req
65. It's remarkable, Jean! What a great invention!
Copy !req
66. I think so too. The idea belongs to another Frenchman.
Copy !req
67. I just improved on it.
Copy !req
68. To think a young boy like you could make an invention like this!
Copy !req
69. I think I have a knack for mechanical things.
Copy !req
70. Just incredible! You're a do-it-yourself genius!
Copy !req
71. I'm better than that!
Copy !req
72. I'm sorry!
Copy !req
73. What's that?
Copy !req
74. What happened?
Copy !req
75. The mechanism was not tested for endurance.
Copy !req
76. But what went wrong?
Copy !req
77. It just broke down.
Copy !req
78. What a lousy invention!
And I thought it was so wonderful.
Copy !req
79. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
80. Is that another invention of yours?
Copy !req
81. Yes, it's a flashlight.
Copy !req
82. It has a small hand driven generator for power.
Copy !req
83. It takes a lot of work though.
Copy !req
84. It certainly does.
Copy !req
85. This is Auntie's house.
Copy !req
86. Wait just a minute.
Copy !req
87. Oh, it's you, Jean.
Copy !req
88. I'm home, Auntie.
Copy !req
89. Welcome home. Where's your uncle?
Copy !req
90. Uncle is still in Paris.
Copy !req
91. Is that so?
Copy !req
92. Probably out living it up!
Copy !req
93. That lazy good-for-nothing!
Copy !req
94. Auntie, there's a favor I want to ask of you.
Copy !req
95. Could you take care of a young girl for a while?
Copy !req
96. What did you say? Who is that child?
Copy !req
97. We became acquainted in Paris. Bad guys were after her, and...
Copy !req
98. Jean, come inside.
Copy !req
99. It won't take long.
Copy !req
100. What is it?
Copy !req
101. Jean Rocque Raltique!
Copy !req
102. Do you intend to take in a girl who is a complete stranger?
Copy !req
103. She's colored too. And on top of that, she has an ugly looking cat!
Copy !req
104. Who knows what trouble they may cause!
Copy !req
105. Nadia's not that kind of a girl!
Copy !req
106. She must have you really fooled.
Copy !req
107. Furthermore, Jean, do you intend to spend the money
Copy !req
108. my brother left you making a pile of junk?
Copy !req
109. Of course not.
Copy !req
110. You're spending money left and right on crazy inventions!
Copy !req
111. This time I'm going to make it. I feel confident.
Copy !req
112. You've got to be kidding!
Copy !req
113. Selling a farm to build an airplane that won't even fly! It's crazy!
Copy !req
114. Now, you want to take care of that girl?
Copy !req
115. There isn't much money left.
We have to keep some for schooling.
Copy !req
116. Now you want to feed a girl, a colored girl,
Copy !req
117. and her big cat? Well, I refuse to help you!
Copy !req
118. Excuse me, Auntie. I'll be back again. Bye!
Copy !req
119. Wait, Jean! Wait, I said!
Copy !req
120. Wait!
Copy !req
121. Nadia, wait!
Copy !req
122. Why did you leave?
Copy !req
123. Thank you.
Copy !req
124. But it's all right. I can take care of myself.
Copy !req
125. Don't be like that. Just wait a moment. What's come over you?
Copy !req
126. I can't impose on you anymore.
Copy !req
127. Goodbye.
Copy !req
128. You're not imposing! Not at all!
Copy !req
129. I know!
Copy !req
130. Let's go to my house.
Copy !req
131. Your house?
Copy !req
132. Yes, it's still quite early, and we'd be by ourselves there.
Copy !req
133. We're very close now. Are you tired?
Copy !req
134. No, but it certainly is a long road.
Copy !req
135. Eventually, this road will become a runway.
Copy !req
136. A runway?
Copy !req
137. That's right, a runway for an airplane.
Copy !req
138. Whose grave is that?
Copy !req
139. Etoile de la Seine I through VI are lying in that graveyard.
Copy !req
140. Those are the iron graves of aircraft that could not take off.
Copy !req
141. I see...
Copy !req
142. That's my house over there.
Copy !req
143. It's quite strange.
Copy !req
144. Yes, it's my pride and joy!
Copy !req
145. Good morning, Nadia.
Copy !req
146. What?
Copy !req
147. She must have left.
Copy !req
148. Good morning, Nadia!
Copy !req
149. You're an early riser.
Copy !req
150. Good morning!
Copy !req
151. I'll get the tea going. Wait downstairs.
Copy !req
152. All right.
Copy !req
153. This is quite a collection!
Copy !req
154. You live here all by yourself?
Copy !req
155. Yes, you see, my father was a sailor and rarely at home.
Copy !req
156. He left some money for me with my uncle,
Copy !req
157. since a sailor can never tell what may happen to him.
Copy !req
158. What a nice father!
Copy !req
159. So, Uncle and I can continue our inventions and studies.
Copy !req
160. And these are your inventions?
Copy !req
161. Yes. Of course, we made some mistakes.
Copy !req
162. But one day I'll build an aircraft that can fly around the world.
Copy !req
163. Around the world?
Copy !req
164. Right! And I'm going to go look for my father.
Copy !req
165. Your father?
Copy !req
166. Yes, my father was lost at sea a year ago while crossing the Atlantic,
Copy !req
167. along with his ship.
Copy !req
168. Because of the sea monsters?
Copy !req
169. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
170. Don't be! There's no real proof that the ship sank.
Copy !req
171. That's true! I'm sure he's still alive and living somewhere.
Copy !req
172. Of course he is! He's the best sailor in the world!
Copy !req
173. Goodness, a moving stairway!
Copy !req
174. I saw one at the Expo.
Copy !req
175. Unfortunately, somebody was ahead of me in this.
Copy !req
176. Now then, let me show you my great invention.
Copy !req
177. It's upstairs.
Copy !req
178. Here, step on.
Copy !req
179. All right.
Copy !req
180. Here I go.
Copy !req
181. What happened?
Copy !req
182. It broke down.
Copy !req
183. Sorry! It was too weak to support two people.
Copy !req
184. Another lousy invention, I think.
Copy !req
185. I should've expected it.
Copy !req
186. This is incredible!
Copy !req
187. Did you make this?
Copy !req
188. This aircraft can fly through the skies.
Copy !req
189. Aren't all aircraft supposed to do that?
Copy !req
190. Actually, no aircraft has really flown yet.
Copy !req
191. Oh yeah, those six iron crosses in the graveyard, right?
Copy !req
192. I didn't mean those, I meant in the whole world.
Copy !req
193. Oh, is that so?
Copy !req
194. What's the name of your airplane?
Copy !req
195. Etoile de la Seine VIII.
Copy !req
196. What happened to VII?
Copy !req
197. It sank in the Seine yesterday.
Copy !req
198. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
199. I'm not! It was to rescue you!
Copy !req
200. Thank you!
Copy !req
201. Oh?
Copy !req
202. I've found her!
Copy !req
203. You'd better not let her get away this time!
Copy !req
204. Change! Land operation mode, switch on!
Copy !req
205. Vertical mode!
Copy !req
206. What's wrong, Nadia? You've been just standing here.
Copy !req
207. It's nothing.
Copy !req
208. Nadia...
Copy !req
209. Yes?
Copy !req
210. How much do you weigh?
Copy !req
211. Your weight?
Copy !req
212. How rude! How can you ask a lady such a question?
Copy !req
213. Is that right?
Copy !req
214. You're hopeless. Anyway, I'm lighter than you.
Copy !req
215. Really? That's great! Then it's all right.
Copy !req
216. As I promised you, I'm going to take you into the skies.
Copy !req
217. Let's fly to Africa together!
Copy !req
218. But...
Copy !req
219. Thank you.
Copy !req
220. What can it be?
Copy !req
221. I don't know.
Copy !req
222. Hey, kids, you can't get away from me now.
Copy !req
223. Give me the Blue Water!
Copy !req
224. Or else something terrible is going to happen to you. I'm not fooling!
Copy !req
225. It's no use trying to hide! Give up!
Copy !req
226. Sanson, teach them a lesson!
Copy !req
227. Yes, Ma'am! Stand by to fix on target!
Copy !req
228. Roger!
Copy !req
229. Let's see. That should do it.
Copy !req
230. Jean, what shall we do?
Copy !req
231. Get away in this.
Copy !req
232. Fire!
Copy !req
233. They've really started shooting at us!
Copy !req
234. Jean, are you sure you want to do this?
Copy !req
235. Of course. I was planning to fly it with Uncle anyway.
Copy !req
236. What are they trying to do?
Copy !req
237. You're not going to get away like that!
Copy !req
238. Why don't you just surrender?
Copy !req
239. I'm depending on you, my Etoile de la Seine!
Copy !req
240. Are you sure this will carry two people?
Copy !req
241. In theory, yes.
Copy !req
242. Hey, what do you think you're doing?
I told you it's no use!
Copy !req
243. Take off!
Copy !req
244. What's wrong? We're not flying!
Copy !req
245. It has to gain enough speed to take off first.
Copy !req
246. But we're just speeding over that long road.
Copy !req
247. This is odd. The road should be long enough.
Copy !req
248. We're going to crash!
Copy !req
249. Just a little more!
Copy !req
250. It's useless I tell you! Stop right there!
Copy !req
251. If you don't, I'm going to put a shell in you!
Copy !req
252. Leave it to me, please. I'll blow them to bits!
Copy !req
253. Climb!
Copy !req
254. Sanson, who told you to fire?
Copy !req
255. It's flying!
Copy !req
256. I can't believe this!
Copy !req
257. What a pair of kids!
I have to give them credit.
Copy !req
258. But we have to do something.
Copy !req
259. Sanson! Hanson! Let's go after them!
Copy !req
260. Ain't that something!
Copy !req
261. Come on, climb!
Copy !req
262. We made it! We made it! We're flying! We're really flying!
Copy !req
263. It's just as I calculated!
Nadia, see? We're flying!
Copy !req
264. This is amazing.
We're actually flying through the skies!
Copy !req
265. Naturally! My theory is perfect.
Copy !req
266. You're a true genius!
Copy !req
267. We're going to fly straight to Africa!
Copy !req
268. Let's!
Copy !req
269. But maybe we'd better fly along the shore.
Copy !req
270. You may be right.
Copy !req
271. What's wrong?
Copy !req
272. I don't know. But something's wrong.
Copy !req
273. What happened?
Copy !req
274. It broke down.
Copy !req
275. Not again! Can't you do something?
Copy !req
276. I'm trying to.
Copy !req
277. Your inventions are all lousy!
Copy !req
278. And I thought you were a genius.
Copy !req
279. I'm sorry! I don't think we can make it to Africa.
Copy !req
280. You can't fix it?
Copy !req
281. We made it!
Copy !req
282. How long can we stay afloat?
Copy !req
283. Don't worry. We can stay afloat until help comes.
Copy !req
284. You see, it's completely waterproof.
Copy !req
285. You won't get wet this time!
Copy !req
286. Maybe not from the sea, but what about the rain?
Copy !req
287. To be continued
Copy !req
288. To be continued
Copy !req
