1. EPISODE FIVE
EVEN IF I DIE... THIS WORLD WILL CONTINUE
Copy !req
2. Come on, Damian.
Copy !req
3. Did you really need me for this?
Copy !req
4. This heretic was assigned to Peter.
Copy !req
5. You can't just loan him to me
for transfer duty.
Copy !req
6. Nowak.
Copy !req
7. For a long time, I've been wondering
Copy !req
8. about your poor attitude.
Copy !req
9. Huh?
Copy !req
10. Our work is to serve God
Copy !req
11. by defending the sanctity of faith.
Copy !req
12. Complacency is inexcusable.
Copy !req
13. Don't you realize
Copy !req
14. that you'll be responsible
if something happens?
Copy !req
15. Um, wait. I didn't mean...
Copy !req
16. What? Hey!
Copy !req
17. What's going on?
Copy !req
18. What is it?
Copy !req
19. The wagon in front.
Copy !req
20. I saw the driver jump off, and now...
Copy !req
21. What the...
Copy !req
22. It's those watchmen.
Copy !req
23. They've betrayed us.
Copy !req
24. Stop here.
Copy !req
25. H-Hey, is that permitted?
Copy !req
26. This is an emergency.
Copy !req
27. One shot should be fine.
Copy !req
28. Oh, man.
Copy !req
29. What a crash.
Copy !req
30. It can't be saved now.
Copy !req
31. P-Please help me!
Copy !req
32. Huh?
Copy !req
33. Wait!
Copy !req
34. I was being threatened!
Copy !req
35. You expect me to believe that?
Copy !req
36. Well...
Copy !req
37. He's fully focused.
Copy !req
38. This guy is tough.
Copy !req
39. I'd probably die fighting him.
Copy !req
40. That leaves only one option.
Copy !req
41. I surrender!
Copy !req
42. I was wrong! Please have mercy!
Copy !req
43. Huh?
Copy !req
44. Seriously?
Copy !req
45. But that's...
Copy !req
46. What were the rules
for voluntary surrender again?
Copy !req
47. Let's see.
Copy !req
48. "Exercise your own judgment"?
Copy !req
49. That's the biggest pain of all.
Copy !req
50. Well, you already double-crossed us once.
Copy !req
51. Would they allow this?
Copy !req
52. You're of no use to me anyway.
Copy !req
53. Huh?
Copy !req
54. What?
Copy !req
55. Why?
Copy !req
56. Because history needs you.
Copy !req
57. Take this.
Copy !req
58. - Nowak!
- Huh?
Copy !req
59. Should I bring your crossbow?
Copy !req
60. No, don't bother.
Copy !req
61. What? But why?
Copy !req
62. It's not worth...
Copy !req
63. Um, I'd only get in trouble
for using more arrows.
Copy !req
64. Plus, the thing we need to secure
Copy !req
65. is lying right here.
Copy !req
66. As a former soldier myself,
I know it all too well.
Copy !req
67. Those two can't read a word.
Copy !req
68. They don't have the brains for heresy.
Copy !req
69. There's no use going after them.
Copy !req
70. ON THE MOVEMENTS OF THE EARTH
Copy !req
71. Um...
Copy !req
72. I won't run, so you can lower your sword.
Copy !req
73. Oh, right.
Copy !req
74. I'm sorry I got you mixed up in this.
Copy !req
75. Even so, I'm not looking for a do-over.
Copy !req
76. Given another chance,
Copy !req
77. I'd probably make the same choice.
Copy !req
78. So my apology is a bit insincere.
Copy !req
79. I apologize for that too.
Copy !req
80. Oh, uh... I understand.
Copy !req
81. This looks like a clearing.
Copy !req
82. We might be near the middle of the slope.
Copy !req
83. Let's look around.
Copy !req
84. Gras!
Copy !req
85. I-Is this it?
Copy !req
86. What is... this diagram?
Copy !req
87. These seem like letters.
Copy !req
88. There are two.
Copy !req
89. One is dated recently, and the other
Copy !req
90. is from ten years ago.
Copy !req
91. Can I see the recent one?
Copy !req
92. It might be from the heretic.
Copy !req
93. Damn it, my eye...
Copy !req
94. Let's see.
Copy !req
95. First, let me state
Copy !req
96. that I did not create
the contents of this stone chest.
Copy !req
97. I discovered them.
Copy !req
98. Therefore, I will record
the story of that discovery.
Copy !req
99. As an astrologer,
Copy !req
100. I made a daily habit
of observing the heavens.
Copy !req
101. One day, while seeking
greater elevation and visibility,
Copy !req
102. I discovered a spot
that was perfect for observation.
Copy !req
103. Then I noticed something curious.
Copy !req
104. Carved into each
of the two nearby rock formations
Copy !req
105. were three stars
with a mark in the center.
Copy !req
106. It resembled Orion's Belt.
Copy !req
107. As if corresponding to the middle star,
Copy !req
108. the space between the rocks
Copy !req
109. was in line with the middle
of the mountain on the opposite side.
Copy !req
110. What could possibly be there?
Copy !req
111. Who had done this and why?
Copy !req
112. Spurred by curiosity,
I made my way to the mountain.
Copy !req
113. And finally, I encountered this chest.
Copy !req
114. "In the end, I never learned
who left the chest behind
Copy !req
115. or why they had done so."
Copy !req
116. "But though the contents
of the chest were incomplete,
Copy !req
117. it was clear to me that they could change
the history and fate of humankind."
Copy !req
118. "Even if I were to die
because of the contents of this chest,
Copy !req
119. I can say my life was fortunate
for having discovered them."
Copy !req
120. "For further details, I ask that
you confirm the materials herein."
Copy !req
121. "Selfishly, I too
have adjusted multiple calculations."
Copy !req
122. "That is all."
Copy !req
123. What does the other letter say?
Copy !req
124. Huh?
Copy !req
125. I don't know.
Copy !req
126. I never learned to read.
Copy !req
127. Oh, but...
I think I know what the title says.
Copy !req
128. What's that?
Copy !req
129. Earth.
Copy !req
130. ON THE MOVEMENTS OF THE EARTH
CHAPTER TWO
Copy !req
131. It's no use.
Copy !req
132. This bridge is broken too.
Copy !req
133. We'll have to go around.
Copy !req
134. From where we are...
Copy !req
135. I forgot about this thing.
Copy !req
136. You're throwing it away?
Copy !req
137. Yes.
Copy !req
138. It belonged to the heretic, after all.
Copy !req
139. Still, it's an important clue.
Copy !req
140. I'll take it.
Copy !req
141. Now, let's go.
Copy !req
142. Earth?
Copy !req
143. Yes. That's what the envelope says.
Copy !req
144. Hand it to me. I'll read it.
Copy !req
145. Let's see.
Copy !req
146. "I offer you the secrets
of the starry sky."
Copy !req
147. "If any profit should be earned
from this endeavor,
Copy !req
148. ten percent should be given to Potocki."
Copy !req
149. "His support has been valuable."
Copy !req
150. "His address is..."
Copy !req
151. Well,
Copy !req
152. this doesn't tell us anything either.
Copy !req
153. What the heck is in here?
Copy !req
154. As far as these documents go,
Copy !req
155. I'd guess they're related to astronomy.
Copy !req
156. However, I can't read Latin
Copy !req
157. or understand the figures.
Copy !req
158. As far as our future is concerned,
Copy !req
159. because of my actions,
Copy !req
160. you won't be welcome
in town or at the guild.
Copy !req
161. But if I may justify myself,
Copy !req
162. the circumstances we're in
Copy !req
163. can be turned to our advantage.
Copy !req
164. Judging by the volume,
Copy !req
165. these materials weren't made on a whim.
Copy !req
166. They're something significant.
Copy !req
167. Show them to the right person,
Copy !req
168. and the reward could be big.
Copy !req
169. Plus, we'd get to learn
about the contents.
Copy !req
170. Where will you find this "right person"?
Copy !req
171. I actually have someone in mind.
Copy !req
172. The monk that told me about the planets.
Copy !req
173. I believe his name was
Copy !req
174. Badeni.
Copy !req
175. You want to discuss heresy with a monk?
Copy !req
176. He's no ordinary monk.
Copy !req
177. He was demoted a short time ago.
Copy !req
178. The reasons were unruly behavior
Copy !req
179. and contrarian thought.
Copy !req
180. Perfect, right?
Copy !req
181. With that settled, let's go.
Copy !req
182. Is something wrong?
Copy !req
183. My... head is spinning.
Copy !req
184. I've come this far,
but now that I have time to think,
Copy !req
185. I don't see why I should go with you.
Copy !req
186. Will you decide for me, Gras?
Copy !req
187. If I should go or not...
Copy !req
188. Two is safer than one,
Copy !req
189. so I'd appreciate a companion.
Copy !req
190. In that case, I'll go with you.
Copy !req
191. Oczy.
Copy !req
192. Could you find the North Star for me?
Copy !req
193. We should orient ourselves.
Copy !req
194. I'm afraid I injured my eye earlier.
Copy !req
195. Forgive me, but I can't do that.
Copy !req
196. Huh?
Copy !req
197. But with your vision...
Copy !req
198. I... can't look at the sky.
Copy !req
199. I, uh...
Copy !req
200. I'm afraid.
Copy !req
201. A priest told me something once.
Copy !req
202. The night sky is beautiful
Copy !req
203. because we gaze at it
from the lowly Earth.
Copy !req
204. Since then, when I look at the sky,
Copy !req
205. the stars appear to me like eyes
looking down on humankind.
Copy !req
206. I know that sounds strange.
Copy !req
207. Before that, could you look at the stars?
Copy !req
208. Y-Yes.
Copy !req
209. Actually...
Copy !req
210. I think I enjoyed it.
Copy !req
211. You've never had the urge
to see the stars again?
Copy !req
212. No. It's too scary.
Copy !req
213. But if it was something you enjoyed,
Copy !req
214. it's a shame to give it up, right?
Copy !req
215. I guess so...
Copy !req
216. Then again, it doesn't concern you, Gras.
Copy !req
217. Of course not.
Copy !req
218. But I lost my family in the past,
Copy !req
219. so I know what it's like
to lose the things you love.
Copy !req
220. Compared to that, my problem is minor.
Copy !req
221. After all, I'm still alive.
Copy !req
222. That's not true.
Copy !req
223. For you, it's a major problem.
Copy !req
224. Oh, but...
Copy !req
225. In your case,
I'm sure they were never lost.
Copy !req
226. Your family is surely in heaven now.
Copy !req
227. You'll reunite with them there.
Copy !req
228. Thank you. I believe so too.
Copy !req
229. However,
Copy !req
230. what I really lost
Copy !req
231. was my hope for this world.
Copy !req
232. Until recently,
Copy !req
233. I did nothing but curse this world
that stole my family.
Copy !req
234. But when I thought deeper,
Copy !req
235. this world was where I met my family too.
Copy !req
236. And if that's the case,
Copy !req
237. I don't want to deny
the world that gave them to me.
Copy !req
238. It may be difficult,
Copy !req
239. but I want to view
the world positively once more.
Copy !req
240. This may sound cruel,
Copy !req
241. but I don't think that's possible.
Copy !req
242. Heaven is our only hope.
Copy !req
243. This world is corrupt.
Copy !req
244. It's that way
Copy !req
245. because that was God's will.
Copy !req
246. The great figures in history
have told us that.
Copy !req
247. Have you...
Copy !req
248. Have you completely given up on our world?
Copy !req
249. Yes.
Copy !req
250. Only loss awaits us here.
Copy !req
251. We're all going to die anyway
and end up in heaven or hell.
Copy !req
252. So that should be our bigger concern.
Copy !req
253. "Heaven is our only hope"?
Copy !req
254. So then, why did that heretic
Copy !req
255. risk his life and his place in paradise
Copy !req
256. to honor our world?
Copy !req
257. Humans die.
Copy !req
258. What would be the point
in loving this world
Copy !req
259. that we will eventually leave?
Copy !req
260. When we die, all that remains
is a world without us.
Copy !req
261. How could there be hope in that?
Copy !req
262. Wait.
Copy !req
263. Could that be it?
Copy !req
264. Oh, good. This bridge is standing.
Copy !req
265. The village is on the other side.
Copy !req
266. I guess we're safe for now.
Copy !req
267. - Oczy.
- Yes?
Copy !req
268. I've made you come with me this far.
Copy !req
269. So from this point,
Copy !req
270. I'd like you to choose.
Copy !req
271. What?
Copy !req
272. There are two paths you can take.
Copy !req
273. First, when we reach the village,
Copy !req
274. you can report what happened
and the chest we found to the Church.
Copy !req
275. Do that, and maybe
you can return to the village.
Copy !req
276. You'll get closer to heaven too.
Copy !req
277. But what will happen to you?
Copy !req
278. The second option...
Copy !req
279. Gras!
Copy !req
280. This is my...
Copy !req
281. I'll be brief with the second.
Copy !req
282. What? This isn't the time!
Copy !req
283. The second option
Copy !req
284. is to ignore the first
Copy !req
285. and place your hope in this world!
Copy !req
286. What?
Copy !req
287. And then, someday,
Copy !req
288. turn your eyes to the stars again.
Copy !req
289. What are you doing?
Copy !req
290. The ivy will tear!
Copy !req
291. D-Do you want to die?
Copy !req
292. What are you doing?
Copy !req
293. - I'm passing the torch.
- What?
Copy !req
294. At this rate, we'll both die.
Copy !req
295. That won't do.
Copy !req
296. That heretic risked his life
Copy !req
297. because he found someone to pass it on to.
Copy !req
298. Just as you said,
Copy !req
299. this world is full of loss.
Copy !req
300. Furthermore,
Copy !req
301. we will all die and leave here someday.
Copy !req
302. But even if I die...
this world will continue.
Copy !req
303. That means I can pass the torch.
Copy !req
304. In a world that is full of loss,
that is one way
Copy !req
305. that hope is born.
Copy !req
306. Pass it to whom? To me?
Copy !req
307. Don't expect anything from me!
Copy !req
308. There's no guarantee I'll do it!
Copy !req
309. That's true.
Copy !req
310. But you will.
Copy !req
311. You aren't ready to go to heaven.
Copy !req
312. Why?
Copy !req
313. Because your face tells me
Copy !req
314. that you still fear death.
Copy !req
315. This
Copy !req
316. is my fate.
Copy !req
317. H-He's dead.
Copy !req
318. You really are kind, Grabowski.
Copy !req
319. You always take the time to listen to us.
Copy !req
320. That's because I enjoy
hearing your stories.
Copy !req
321. There you go again.
Copy !req
322. Unlike that subdeacon from before...
Copy !req
323. What was his name again?
Copy !req
324. He's nothing like you.
Copy !req
325. Indeed.
Copy !req
326. He may have been praised in the city,
Copy !req
327. but he's got no compassion.
Copy !req
328. Oh, don't say that.
Copy !req
329. Huh?
Copy !req
330. - What?
- What?
Copy !req
331. Excuse me.
Copy !req
332. You have a visitor, Badeni.
Copy !req
333. I'm not expecting a visitor.
Copy !req
334. That may be, but...
Copy !req
335. Who are you?
Copy !req
336. What do you want?
Copy !req
