1. These are all our supplies.

2. I'll take a sword.

3. Okay, Draka. Let's go.

4. Are you all okay with this?

5. It's our duty.

6. Preferences don't matter.

7. We only just met.

8. I don't know any of you,

9. and you don't know me.

10. However, we all knew Jolenta.

11. She promised to loan me

12. the printing press.

13. It's up to you to find something new to sell.

14. Not a bad deal, I'd say.

15. Well?

16. She only said that so I would tell her the contents of the book.

17. From her perspective,

18. it may not have meant much.

19. But to me,

20. her voice sounded as if she was encouraging my way of life

21. and my future.

22. I'm sure all of you are here because, at some moment,

23. you too felt something like that from Jolenta and this organization.

24. So, what I'm trying to say is...

25. I'll do my duty too.

26. Good. We're counting on you.

27. Right.

28. ON THE MOVEMENTS OF THE EARTH

29. EPISODE 22 NEITHER OF YOU WILL BE KNOWN TO HISTORY

30. Huh?

31. What is it?

32. I can't get that explosion out of my head.

33. Our enemy

34. must be willing to do anything for their cause.

35. I'm... scared.

36. In just a few hours,

37. morning will come, as it always does.

38. I hope one day

39. you too will learn to smile at the sunrise.

40. That again?

41. I told you. I hate the sunrise.

42. I'd appreciate it if you didn't repeat yourself.

43. It's annoying.

44. I'm not merely repeating myself.

45. This time, I mean it.

46. What? You mean it?

47. Are you trying to irritate me?

48. Interpret it however you like,

49. but it's an expression of my gratitude.

50. Even if the sunrise means nothing to you,

51. to me, it's the most wonderful moment a person can experience.

52. I wanted to share that with you.

53. But... why?

54. Who knows?

55. However, it's probably because

56. you and I happened to cross paths.

57. It's awfully quiet.

58. I... I'm an inquisitor!

59. You know why we're here!

60. Surrender quietly!

61. Fire!

62. The testudo formation, huh?

63. Don't panic.

64. That formation is vulnerable to close combat.

65. - We just— - Charge!

66. - Engage them in close combat! - Yes, sir!

67. Here they come!

68. Now!

69. Attack their right flank more!

70. Hey!

71. Damn it. These guys are decoys.

72. Unhook the carts and take only the horses!

73. Asch!

74. Huh? Uh, I... Not me.

75. Well, I suppose it is my job.

76. I leave this mess to you.

77. Damn it. They're gaining on us!

78. Yes. So it seems.

79. What do we do?

80. I've never been afraid to carry out a decision I made.

81. What?

82. That's because

83. I always thought I was simply obeying the destiny God gave me.

84. But right now,

85. I'm afraid for the first time.

86. Huh?

87. I pray for your success!

88. Schmidt!

89. I've killed many of your comrades.

90. Faith was my motive.

91. But right now,

92. my faith is wavering.

93. The justification I once had for killing you

94. is no more.

95. But even so, I'm going to kill you

96. for my own selfish reasons.

97. Forgive me!

98. What are you babbling about?

99. Wretched heretic!

100. Die!

101. Burn in hell!

102. He's choking to death on his own blood.

103. It's just the sort of miserable death a believer in heliocentrism deserves.

104. Even... so...

105. it's the fate... I... chose.

106. Who are you? Why are you here at this hour?

107. I'm a tinsmith.

108. Oh? Where's your authorization?

109. It's these.

110. Bishop!

111. What is it?

112. You better have a good reason to disturb my sleep.

113. You have a visitor.

114. Apparently, it's important.

115. What sort of visitor?

116. A woman.

117. From her clothing, she appears to be a nomad.

118. I had a feeling it was you.

119. It's been a while.

120. What did you want to speak about?

121. The future.

122. Something... profitable.

123. - Leave us alone. - Huh?

124. This is for my ears.

125. Footprints...

126. Something profitable, huh?

127. I'm intrigued.

128. And? What's your idea?

129. I'll cut straight to the point.

130. It's a book.

131. In the future, as personal property ownership spreads,

132. I think books will sell well.

133. Right now, the people desire pleasure

134. more than religion.

135. From street performances to public executions,

136. you've seen the way they gather like vultures.

137. Everyone is starving for stimulation.

138. That's where books come in.

139. The written word can reach the brain directly.

140. If it becomes easy for people to read, they'll grow addicted.

141. You can read anywhere, and at any time too.

142. Mass printing with movable type is cheap

143. and frighteningly easy.

144. If it catches on,

145. the profits could be immense.

146. That's where I'd like your cooperation.

147. I need access to a printing press

148. and permission to publish.

149. I won't let them go to waste.

150. Yeah?

151. Okay, so what's the book about?

152. That's the complicated part.

153. Huh?

154. It's a sort of cosmological model,

155. or a certain hypothesis about nature, you could say.

156. To put it simply,

157. it's about the movements of the Earth.

158. Are you... What are you—

159. Do you think it's blasphemy?

160. Even so,

161. I have more to say.

162. Please think about it.

163. Have you ever heard

164. of a historical precedent for heliocentrism being suppressed?

165. Is heliocentrism

166. really blasphemy?

167. What? Of course it is.

168. Spare me the jokes.

169. Well, this was a waste of time.

170. Before I send you to the dungeon, I'll let you in on something.

171. My father sentenced many people to death for heliocentrism in the past.

172. To continue its suppression, he...

173. Wait.

174. When you put it that way,

175. I've never heard of it being suppressed elsewhere.

176. I knew it!

177. The words create an impression,

178. and everyone avoids it out of fear.

179. When I first learned of it, I thought it sounded dangerous too.

180. After all, cosmology runs counter to divine creation.

181. Avoiding it seems obvious.

182. You could be punished for that,

183. and one has to be careful.

184. But... But then...

185. As long as you're careful,

186. is there any reason it should be absolutely forbidden?

187. And couldn't it be

188. a subject that stimulates enjoyment?

189. In other words, you believe

190. that whether heliocentrism is blasphemy

191. could change at the discretion of whoever is in power at the time?

192. Yes. Exactly.

193. Very well.

194. But you should understand this.

195. If the winds shift against us, I'll cut you off with no second thoughts.

196. Then that means—

197. Slow down.

198. We haven't talked about the profit ratio.

199. Fifty-fifty.

200. You must be kidding.

201. Consider the compromise I'm making.

202. Eighty-twenty.

203. Understood.

204. Then I'll be going.

205. That should settle everything.

206. Th-Thank you very much!

207. - One more thing. - Huh?

208. To commemorate the publishing,

209. there's a letter I'd like to send.

210. Do you mind?

211. In that case, use my carrier pigeon.

212. I'll summon for it now.

213. Who goes there?

214. I'm cooperating with a heretic investigation.

215. Here is my authorization.

216. I followed my suspect's footprints here.

217. Has anyone suspicious come around?

218. - Actually, there was a woman just now. - A woman?

219. Which way did she go?

220. Huh?

221. Toward the church.

222. The church?

223. Is there a place near here where I can get a stiff drink?

224. ON THE MOVEMENTS OF THE EARTH

225. Orb.

226. - Huh? - Huh?

227. What?

228. Y-You're...

229. Bishop Antoni?

230. Is this where you serve as bishop?

231. It's me, Nowak!

232. I once served as an inquisitor.

233. Yes, I remember.

234. P-Please step away from that woman!

235. You're in danger!

236. She's a heretic!

237. She believes... in that accursed heliocentric theory.

238. And?

239. A... "And"?

240. I said heliocentrism!

241. The same theory that your father was so wary of...

242. You must remember!

243. So please step away from her...

244. Huh?

245. W-What's going on?

246. Why have you gone quiet?

247. No... It can't be.

248. You can't be serious.

249. Don't tell me you and that heretic...

250. Just tell me one thing.

251. What is your understanding of the problem with heliocentrism?

252. What?

253. Th-That's...

254. Cosmology touches upon divine creation.

255. The details are...

256. Well...

257. The previous Bishop said—

258. Quite vague, wouldn't you say?

259. Listen, Nowak.

260. If you fail to understand, then I'll be clear.

261. If you're going to label, torture, and kill people as heretics,

262. you should learn for yourself whether such steps are justified.

263. Take responsibility for your actions.

264. Justified? But...

265. Th-That's right. The Holy Scripture says...

266. "You established the earth, and it endures."

267. Or perhaps,

268. "The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved."

269. Are those the verses that come to mind?

270. Well, if you stop and think clearly,

271. those verses aren't enough to prove that heliocentrism is blasphemy.

272. That's because

273. even heliocentrism is just one hypothesis among many.

274. Perhaps it's too uncertain to call it the one and only truth,

275. but in the end, it's merely a mathematical postulate.

276. What in the world is wrong with that?

277. In fact,

278. even if it were proven that the Earth is moving,

279. rereading the Holy Scripture with that in mind

280. and providing the proper interpretation is our work as theologians.

281. Rather than reject new opinions or discoveries,

282. we must explore them to better understand the Holy Scripture.

283. Isn't that stance

284. what our faith needs the most now?

285. On the contrary,

286. placing the Sun at the center of the universe

287. could be seen as natural scientific proof of the Holy Trinity.

288. From a theological perspective,

289. it could be a wonderful discovery that reveals God's glory.

290. B-But...

291. Your father...

292. Yes.

293. My father was strict about cosmology.

294. I don't know the reason,

295. but as I'm sure you're aware,

296. he once studied astronomy too.

297. While doing so, perhaps he experienced some setback

298. that changed his reverence for the heavens into an inferiority complex.

299. Either way,

300. I imagine the story goes something like this.

301. Somewhere in the world,

302. there was an authority who had a strict view of cosmology.

303. Scholars researching heliocentrism had the misfortune of serving under him

304. and were branded as heretics.

305. People then began to believe the myth that heliocentrism was a forbidden topic.

306. The dirty work of that operation

307. could not be entrusted to an inquisitor from the clergy.

308. It was contracted out.

309. In other words, it was entrusted to you,

310. a former mercenary.

311. If that's what happened,

312. this entire scandal was not a crusade to protect the Church or the faithful.

313. It was merely a misunderstanding

314. created by a small group of people.

315. A misunderstanding?

316. How can you pass this off

317. as just a misunderstanding?

318. Hubert, Rafal, Oczy, Badeni!

319. These men were executed for researching heliocentrism,

320. and they were killed by me!

321. N-Not to mention...

322. my daughter...

323. That's right, the records! There are records—

324. None of the executions were made public.

325. Besides, it was more than 25 years ago.

326. Who knows if the records remain?

327. Looking back, it was strange.

328. Far too many of your cosmology executions were filed away as confidential.

329. Still, I'm a cautious man.

330. Just now, I ordered my men to look up your remaining records

331. and destroy any that were found.

332. By tomorrow morning, they'll all be gone.

333. Was I really...

334. Was I really the only one?

335. In all the world, the only one...

336. who actually suppressed heliocentrism was me?

337. Yes.

338. To the best of my knowledge.

339. After all this time... you expect me to...

340. Had we been born elsewhere,

341. or at another time,

342. there were other possibilities.

343. However, that is not the case.

344. That's what we call fate.

345. It's unfortunate,

346. but you'll have to accept it.

347. When it comes to you and the heretics you executed...

348. neither of you will be known to history.
