1. Father will be home soon.
Copy !req
2. Okay, my rough notes have been burned.
Copy !req
3. The revised documents are in here.
Copy !req
4. Good. It's almost full.
Copy !req
5. I'm home, Rafal!
Copy !req
6. He's not here?
Copy !req
7. Huh? What could he have burned?
Copy !req
8. Th-This is...
Copy !req
9. It can't be.
Copy !req
10. As expected,
Copy !req
11. proving heliocentrism won't be easy.
Copy !req
12. The orbits I've calculated
are still far from perfect circles.
Copy !req
13. At this rate, the geocentric model
is still more accurate.
Copy !req
14. - Hello there.
- Huh?
Copy !req
15. - We met the other day.
- Oh!
Copy !req
16. G-Good afternoon.
Copy !req
17. I'm sorry about all that.
Copy !req
18. I've heard you're pretty smart.
Copy !req
19. You're entering university already?
Copy !req
20. Oh, uh, yes!
Copy !req
21. I'll begin studying theology
in the next term.
Copy !req
22. Oh? How impressive.
Copy !req
23. I'll do my best to contribute to society.
Copy !req
24. Well then. Farewell.
Copy !req
25. - Just a second.
- Huh?
Copy !req
26. That...
Copy !req
27. Didn't that necklace
Copy !req
28. belong to Hubert?
Copy !req
29. Why are you wearing it?
Copy !req
30. It's a reminder.
Copy !req
31. A reminder of my anger at his heresy
and the need to remain vigilant.
Copy !req
32. Is that so?
Copy !req
33. Do you know what he was researching?
Copy !req
34. No, not a thing.
Copy !req
35. I see.
Copy !req
36. He contradicted geocentrism,
Copy !req
37. the proper model of the universe.
Copy !req
38. I'd just like to confirm.
Copy !req
39. Will you swear to God
that you weren't involved?
Copy !req
40. Of course. I swear it.
Copy !req
41. I believe in the universe
that we are taught.
Copy !req
42. Thanks for your cooperation.
Copy !req
43. If you'll excuse me.
Copy !req
44. That freaked me out!
He can't just appear suddenly like that!
Copy !req
45. Still,
Copy !req
46. why do they put so much emphasis on words?
Copy !req
47. Huh?
Copy !req
48. It didn't burn?
Copy !req
49. But why is it on my desk?
Copy !req
50. Don't tell me Father—
Copy !req
51. My calculations have been revised.
Copy !req
52. That paper can have trouble burning.
Copy !req
53. You should watch
until it's completely burnt.
Copy !req
54. These revisions...
Did you do them, Father?
Copy !req
55. I know nothing about any of this.
Copy !req
56. I've been acting too much
in the open lately.
Copy !req
57. The lack of materials
had stalled my research.
Copy !req
58. Maybe I should rest awhile
Copy !req
59. and resume my research
when I've settled at university.
Copy !req
60. ON THE MOVEMENTS OF THE EARTH
Copy !req
61. Rafal!
Copy !req
62. EPISODE THREE
I... BELIEVE IN HELIOCENTRISM
Copy !req
63. Is he out?
Copy !req
64. What have I done?
Copy !req
65. Why did I revise those calculations?
Copy !req
66. If...
Copy !req
67. I were to be caught...
Copy !req
68. Hi there.
Copy !req
69. G-Good afternoon.
Copy !req
70. Sorry for the sudden intrusion.
Copy !req
71. I'd like to follow up
on a few matters concerning Hubert.
Copy !req
72. Oh, and could I have some water too?
Copy !req
73. Huh? Uh, yes.
Copy !req
74. My, my! That was some commotion.
Copy !req
75. Hubert was a student of yours, wasn't he?
Copy !req
76. Even if he was a heretic,
it must be hard on you.
Copy !req
77. N-No.
Copy !req
78. I recognize his heresy.
Copy !req
79. Furthermore,
Copy !req
80. he was just one of many students
I've had over the years.
Copy !req
81. I have no special feelings for him.
Copy !req
82. You have a previous charge
of heresy yourself.
Copy !req
83. Weren't you also researching
the heliocentric theory?
Copy !req
84. Th-That was a long time ago.
Copy !req
85. I've fully recanted.
Copy !req
86. I've never spoken
with Hubert about research.
Copy !req
87. I imagine that's true.
Copy !req
88. It's likely that Hubert looked into
your past research on his own.
Copy !req
89. And since your recantation,
you've devoted yourself to theology,
Copy !req
90. taken in orphans, and desperately
tried to improve your reputation.
Copy !req
91. I'm sure you want to avoid
a second charge of heresy.
Copy !req
92. Those who betray the faith twice
have the devil in their bones.
Copy !req
93. For the sake of the heretic too,
Copy !req
94. we take the strongest measures
to exorcise the evil.
Copy !req
95. You know what that means, right?
Copy !req
96. You burn them... alive.
Copy !req
97. Exactly.
Copy !req
98. I haven't directly experienced
the suffering they go through,
Copy !req
99. but there are some who break
their jaws clenching to resist the pain.
Copy !req
100. How terrifying.
Copy !req
101. However, the physical pain of the flames
is the least of their worries.
Copy !req
102. Someone like you will know what I mean.
Copy !req
103. Their bodies turn to ash.
Copy !req
104. There is nothing left
to be restored on Judgment Day.
Copy !req
105. Academics are divided
about what happens next,
Copy !req
106. but here's what I think.
Copy !req
107. I think they experience nothingness.
Copy !req
108. Memories, experiences, consciousness,
the soul, and the afterlife
Copy !req
109. all turn to nothing.
Copy !req
110. I sure wouldn't want that fate.
Copy !req
111. Now then...
Copy !req
112. Your child is conducting
blasphemous research, isn't he?
Copy !req
113. What?
Copy !req
114. I hit the mark, huh?
Copy !req
115. A heretic that young...
What is the world coming to?
Copy !req
116. How can you just accuse him?
Copy !req
117. Do you have proof?
Copy !req
118. No.
Copy !req
119. Not yet anyway.
Copy !req
120. But you know, Potocki.
Copy !req
121. If you knew he was
conducting blasphemous research,
Copy !req
122. and you didn't turn him in,
Copy !req
123. it would be over for you.
Copy !req
124. If you know something,
you should tell me soon.
Copy !req
125. Before I gather the evidence.
Copy !req
126. Plus, it's only the boy's first offense.
Copy !req
127. If he recants,
he'll be released immediately.
Copy !req
128. Turning him in now
would save everyone a lot of pain.
Copy !req
129. Well,
Copy !req
130. that's all I have to say.
Copy !req
131. Sorry to bother you.
Copy !req
132. You really...
Copy !req
133. You really won't execute him
for a first offense?
Copy !req
134. No. Of course not.
Copy !req
135. Father.
Copy !req
136. Oh, Rafal.
Copy !req
137. So you're home.
Copy !req
138. Is something wrong?
Copy !req
139. The revisions
Copy !req
140. to my calculations...
Copy !req
141. Huh?
Copy !req
142. - Was it you—
- Rafal.
Copy !req
143. Do you think you can prove heliocentrism?
Copy !req
144. Yes.
Copy !req
145. I see.
Copy !req
146. Father—
Copy !req
147. Forgive me. Please go to bed for now.
Copy !req
148. We'll discuss this further tomorrow.
Copy !req
149. Please.
Copy !req
150. Good morning.
Copy !req
151. I'm sorry, Rafal.
Copy !req
152. Now then. Shall we depart?
Copy !req
153. That takes care of the arrangements.
Copy !req
154. Your torture officially begins tomorrow.
Copy !req
155. This here is still a prototype.
Copy !req
156. I call it the Pear of Anguish.
Copy !req
157. When you wind it,
Copy !req
158. it opens up like this.
Copy !req
159. After four turns with this in your mouth,
Copy !req
160. your cheeks will split,
Copy !req
161. and you won't speak for a year.
Copy !req
162. You probably don't know,
but the world is full of tools
Copy !req
163. that are designed
to inflict pain effectively.
Copy !req
164. Pain is something no one can escape,
Copy !req
165. but there are two ways to avoid it.
Copy !req
166. Recant at your trial tomorrow,
Copy !req
167. and proclaim you'll never
associate with astronomy again.
Copy !req
168. Tell us where all your materials
are located and burn them yourself.
Copy !req
169. Th-That's it?
Copy !req
170. Yes. Even I prefer not to torture a child.
Copy !req
171. Oh, and this.
Copy !req
172. It's yours, right?
Copy !req
173. Your university admission form.
Copy !req
174. It's still valid, you know.
Copy !req
175. You can recommit your life to theology.
Copy !req
176. The most important choice you make in life
Copy !req
177. is what to give up.
Copy !req
178. You're smart, right?
Copy !req
179. You'll know the right answer.
Copy !req
180. Until tomorrow.
Copy !req
181. Let's meet when you're reborn.
Copy !req
182. Recant and burn my materials.
Copy !req
183. Well, I guess I can do that.
Copy !req
184. I've managed to come this far.
Copy !req
185. This too
Copy !req
186. will work out somehow.
Copy !req
187. Recanting is not the end.
Copy !req
188. Burning my materials is not the end.
Copy !req
189. Being charged is not the end.
Copy !req
190. Whether astronomy is prohibited,
Copy !req
191. or I'm all alone, it's not the end.
Copy !req
192. It's not
Copy !req
193. the end.
Copy !req
194. The end...
Copy !req
195. The end...
Copy !req
196. Why am I doing this?
Copy !req
197. How did I end up here?
Copy !req
198. If I'd never learned about heliocentrism,
Copy !req
199. I would never have found myself here.
Copy !req
200. If not for heliocentrism,
Copy !req
201. I'd still be considered intelligent.
Copy !req
202. I'd be celebrated by those around me.
Copy !req
203. My lifestyle would be comfortable,
Copy !req
204. my future would be promising,
Copy !req
205. and my path forward full of hope.
Copy !req
206. The world would still be easy.
Copy !req
207. Why did I do this?
Copy !req
208. What does heliocentrism mean to—
Copy !req
209. Moon... light?
Copy !req
210. Hasn't this happened before?
Copy !req
211. Just like back then,
Copy !req
212. continuing with astronomy isn't rational.
Copy !req
213. Just like back then,
Copy !req
214. the sky is far away.
Copy !req
215. Not only that,
the window I have now is even smaller.
Copy !req
216. But...
Copy !req
217. But why?
Copy !req
218. Now, more than then,
Copy !req
219. I can see the sky
Copy !req
220. clearer than ever.
Copy !req
221. Was it always this beautiful?
Copy !req
222. Does the accused confess
Copy !req
223. to researching the heliocentric theory
Copy !req
224. that heavenly bodies
revolve around the Sun, rather than Earth?
Copy !req
225. Yes, I confess.
Copy !req
226. Were you aware that this theory
contradicts Church doctrine?
Copy !req
227. Yes, I was.
Copy !req
228. The Church seeks from the accused
an official recantation,
Copy !req
229. as well as the disclosure and destruction
Copy !req
230. of all related documents.
Copy !req
231. Understood.
Copy !req
232. In consideration of the accused's
impressive academic record,
Copy !req
233. the Church is prepared to permit
university admission
Copy !req
234. if he agrees to our demands.
Copy !req
235. Will you accept the admission form?
Copy !req
236. The important thing
Copy !req
237. is what to give up.
Copy !req
238. Choose correctly.
Copy !req
239. They're only words.
Copy !req
240. This will all work out.
Copy !req
241. Now, please recant.
Copy !req
242. I hereby declare
Copy !req
243. that I believe in heliocentrism.
Copy !req
244. Why?
Copy !req
245. You allow prisoners
to drink such fine wine?
Copy !req
246. It's a special privilege
on the eve of torture.
Copy !req
247. I see.
Copy !req
248. Will you drink with me?
Copy !req
249. It's a shame to do so alone.
Copy !req
250. Why did you ruin our deal?
Copy !req
251. It's simple, really.
Copy !req
252. I thought not burning my materials
would aid heliocentrism.
Copy !req
253. There's no use.
Copy !req
254. Don't underestimate torture.
Copy !req
255. By tomorrow afternoon,
you'll have told us everything.
Copy !req
256. Your enemy is a resilient one.
Copy !req
257. The thing you all oppose isn't me.
Copy !req
258. Nor is it heretics.
Copy !req
259. It's part imagination
Copy !req
260. and part curiosity.
Copy !req
261. In short, it's truth itself.
Copy !req
262. Truth itself?
Copy !req
263. It spreads like an epidemic.
Copy !req
264. Not even the host can control it.
Copy !req
265. It's not the sort of harmless thing
that can be tamed by an organization.
Copy !req
266. So you're saying you'll win?
Copy !req
267. You think that
Copy !req
268. this is the right answer for your future?
Copy !req
269. Of course it's the wrong answer.
Copy !req
270. But a wrong answer
is not a meaningless one.
Copy !req
271. By the way,
Copy !req
272. do you know the effects of poppy seeds?
Copy !req
273. Poppy seeds?
Copy !req
274. Well...
Copy !req
275. It's said they were used
in ancient Athens.
Copy !req
276. If you mix them with poison,
Copy !req
277. simply put, they allow you
to die without pain.
Copy !req
278. I happen
Copy !req
279. to have added some just now.
Copy !req
280. Damn it!
Copy !req
281. - Not your cup.
- Huh?
Copy !req
282. The one who drank it was me.
Copy !req
283. Huh?
Copy !req
284. What?
Copy !req
285. Y-You're lying.
Copy !req
286. You...
Copy !req
287. You're out of your mind!
Copy !req
288. You intend to die?
Copy !req
289. I guess.
Copy !req
290. Don't give me, "I guess"!
Copy !req
291. Besides, such a choice
violates our teachings!
Copy !req
292. How far will you go
to humiliate the Church?
Copy !req
293. A terrifying fate
awaits you in the afterlife!
Copy !req
294. No one knows what the afterlife is.
Copy !req
295. To paraphrase Socrates,
Copy !req
296. no one has experienced death,
Copy !req
297. yet everyone assumes
it is the greatest evil.
Copy !req
298. Or as Epicurus said,
Copy !req
299. "When we exist, death is not;
Copy !req
300. and when death exists, we are not."
Copy !req
301. Or as Seneca said,
Copy !req
302. "Life is long if you know how to use it."
Copy !req
303. I agree with all of them.
Copy !req
304. Those things were said
Copy !req
305. by heathens from 2,000 years ago!
Copy !req
306. They had no absolute God or salvation!
Copy !req
307. What good are their words?
Copy !req
308. They inspire me.
Copy !req
309. In...
Copy !req
310. Hubert died and disappeared.
Copy !req
311. But the inspiration
he left me hasn't faded.
Copy !req
312. I think inspiration
Copy !req
313. is probably more important than lifespan.
Copy !req
314. So faced with this choice,
Copy !req
315. I will let inspiration survive,
Copy !req
316. even if it costs me my own life.
Copy !req
317. You're out of your mind.
Copy !req
318. You're sacrificing your life
for something you don't understand.
Copy !req
319. Can't you see
Copy !req
320. how that is madness?
Copy !req
321. You're right.
Copy !req
322. But you could also call it "love."
Copy !req
323. Now then. May I ask to be alone?
Copy !req
324. Is it time already?
Copy !req
325. Yes. Bye now.
Copy !req
326. TEN YEARS LATER
Copy !req
327. It should be higher up.
Copy !req
328. Why is this happening to me?
Copy !req
329. This...
Copy !req
330. This is it.
Copy !req
331. Earth?
Copy !req
