1. Another rough day ahead.
Copy !req
2. We're sure to be yelled at again.
Copy !req
3. Huh?
Copy !req
4. Hey!
Copy !req
5. You're not permitted, Jolenta.
Copy !req
6. Yes, I know.
Copy !req
7. You do, huh?
Copy !req
8. God, please don't let me be caught.
Copy !req
9. Don't let me be caught.
Copy !req
10. Why am I doing this?
Copy !req
11. I still have time to turn back and yet...
Copy !req
12. Better not get my gloves dirty.
Copy !req
13. I don't feel lucky today.
Copy !req
14. I'm gonna get caught.
Copy !req
15. My luck has run out.
Copy !req
16. I just know it.
Copy !req
17. God has abandoned me for sure.
Copy !req
18. Oh, Count Piast.
Copy !req
19. Good morning, sir.
Copy !req
20. I made it in time!
Copy !req
21. Skip the pleasantries!
Copy !req
22. You've wasted enough of my remaining years
with your tedious treatise!
Copy !req
23. F-Forgive me, my lord.
Copy !req
24. Well then,
Copy !req
25. now that Count Piast is here,
we can discuss...
Copy !req
26. What? The Arabian heretics
have revised ancient Greek astronomy?
Copy !req
27. I could never hear this anywhere else!
Copy !req
28. Dear God,
Copy !req
29. I am lucky indeed.
Copy !req
30. ON THE MOVEMENTS OF THE EARTH
Copy !req
31. EPISODE SEVEN
MATTERS OF THE TRUTH
Copy !req
32. He was as severe as ever today.
Copy !req
33. Yeah.
Copy !req
34. Welcome back!
Copy !req
35. Huh?
Copy !req
36. I really do envy you.
Copy !req
37. You got to rest this whole time.
Copy !req
38. In that case,
Copy !req
39. please consider my request
Copy !req
40. to take part in the discussions.
Copy !req
41. The answer is no.
Copy !req
42. We don't know yet
if you are truly suited to this work.
Copy !req
43. After all,
Copy !req
44. there is an obvious difference
between you and us.
Copy !req
45. That's...
Copy !req
46. Oh, Jolenta.
Copy !req
47. There you are.
Copy !req
48. Kolbe!
Copy !req
49. Hi.
Copy !req
50. Hello. You must be exhausted.
Copy !req
51. You have it rough too, Kolbe.
Copy !req
52. With Jolenta as your assistant and all.
Copy !req
53. Yes, you said it.
Copy !req
54. Making use of a capable assistant
can be a real dilemma.
Copy !req
55. Huh?
Copy !req
56. What?
Copy !req
57. I'll tell you as many times as it takes.
Copy !req
58. Throughout your life,
Copy !req
59. you may meet people
Copy !req
60. who completely reject you
for illegitimate reasons.
Copy !req
61. Those moments
Copy !req
62. may feel heartbreaking.
Copy !req
63. But you must believe in yourself
and move forward.
Copy !req
64. There are times you can't back down.
Copy !req
65. I'll do my best to support you.
Copy !req
66. R-Right.
Copy !req
67. Anyway,
Copy !req
68. how's that new treatise coming along?
Copy !req
69. I completed my first draft.
Copy !req
70. Really?
Copy !req
71. This is it.
Copy !req
72. Let's see...
Copy !req
73. I put everything I know into it.
Copy !req
74. Fascinating.
Copy !req
75. Huh?
Copy !req
76. To write this well at your age is amazing!
Copy !req
77. R-Really?
Copy !req
78. That settles it.
Copy !req
79. I'll submit this to Count Piast.
Copy !req
80. To Count Piast?
Copy !req
81. Yes.
Copy !req
82. I'll need more time to read it,
Copy !req
83. so take some time off.
Copy !req
84. In fact,
Copy !req
85. why don't you visit your family?
Copy !req
86. My family? Why?
Copy !req
87. If this is well-received,
Copy !req
88. you'll be transferred
from the library to the observatory.
Copy !req
89. Things will get busy.
Copy !req
90. Go home while you have the chance.
Copy !req
91. Uh, right!
Copy !req
92. Yes!
Copy !req
93. Point one.
Copy !req
94. The Sun is at the center of the planets.
Copy !req
95. Two, orbits are perfect circles.
Copy !req
96. Three, the planets all move
at a set speed.
Copy !req
97. In summary, these are the arguments
presented in the documents
Copy !req
98. and the original ideas therein.
Copy !req
99. Is it true?
Copy !req
100. - No, it's merely on the threshold.
- What?
Copy !req
101. Whoever wrote these had a brilliant mind.
Copy !req
102. The three ideas I listed
Copy !req
103. are already quite an accomplishment.
Copy !req
104. So then—
Copy !req
105. Even so, I'll be blunt.
Copy !req
106. The documents aren't nearly ready
to be made public.
Copy !req
107. They've overlooked something.
Copy !req
108. At this rate,
the ideas will be easy to refute.
Copy !req
109. Throughout the documents,
Copy !req
110. their careful word choice
is outweighed by something at their core.
Copy !req
111. An almost juvenile naïveté.
Copy !req
112. How mysterious.
Copy !req
113. Whoever continues this work
Copy !req
114. must combine a careful intellect
with bold convictions.
Copy !req
115. It will take a man of true greatness.
Copy !req
116. Do you know anyone like that?
Copy !req
117. Of course. It's me.
Copy !req
118. With that said,
Copy !req
119. I accept the task.
Copy !req
120. Accept?
Copy !req
121. Isn't that what you came to ask me?
Copy !req
122. Was that it?
Copy !req
123. I guess it was.
Copy !req
124. Fair enough.
Copy !req
125. Before we proceed,
I'd like you to agree to three conditions.
Copy !req
126. First,
Copy !req
127. no successors.
Copy !req
128. If I can't prove the theory before I die,
Copy !req
129. you must burn all materials
with my involvement.
Copy !req
130. What's important
Copy !req
131. is that I be the one
who finishes and releases it.
Copy !req
132. I refuse to be a stepping stone
for someone else.
Copy !req
133. Understood.
Copy !req
134. Second, you will participate
Copy !req
135. as an observation assistant.
Copy !req
136. In return, our church will provide you
with food and lodging.
Copy !req
137. Do you mean it? Thank you very much.
Copy !req
138. Now for the final condition.
Copy !req
139. If all goes well and we profit from this,
Copy !req
140. we'll split it nine to one.
Copy !req
141. I get the nine, of course.
Copy !req
142. That won't do.
Copy !req
143. We can only receive 90 percent.
Copy !req
144. What?
Copy !req
145. Well, it's written here.
Copy !req
146. We're supposed to give
ten percent of the profits to someone.
Copy !req
147. Huh?
Copy !req
148. "If any profit should be earned,
Copy !req
149. ten percent should be given to Potocki."
Copy !req
150. A co-researcher?
Copy !req
151. So we can only receive 90 percent...
Copy !req
152. It's gone now.
Copy !req
153. With that settled,
let's return to the village.
Copy !req
154. Uh, right.
Copy !req
155. Excuse me!
Copy !req
156. Can't we honor the request?
Copy !req
157. What? Why should we?
Copy !req
158. It no longer exists.
Copy !req
159. Yes, but I'll remember it was there.
Copy !req
160. What's more, whoever wrote that letter
Copy !req
161. probably put their trust
in the person who would open the chest.
Copy !req
162. If we ignore the will
of someone who is gone,
Copy !req
163. I have a feeling
we'll lose something important.
Copy !req
164. Like what?
Copy !req
165. History, maybe?
Copy !req
166. What?
Copy !req
167. I have no interest in history
other than the holy scripture.
Copy !req
168. If you're so eager to pay them,
Copy !req
169. give them your ten percent.
Copy !req
170. Oh, right.
Copy !req
171. Um, one last thing.
Copy !req
172. As a clergyman,
Copy !req
173. do you think involvement with this
Copy !req
174. puts us at the entrance to hell?
Copy !req
175. Well, we're at an entrance all right.
Copy !req
176. But it's to the heavens.
Copy !req
177. It's nice to have
family time after so long.
Copy !req
178. It's been comforting for me too.
Copy !req
179. You've been busy traveling, Father?
Copy !req
180. Here and there.
Copy !req
181. I suppose you have to go back
to your workplace soon.
Copy !req
182. Yes, I have work to do.
Copy !req
183. Is that work causing you any concern?
Copy !req
184. Huh?
Copy !req
185. It's written on your face.
Copy !req
186. To be honest, there's a gap
between me and the others.
Copy !req
187. You can't keep up?
Copy !req
188. No, it's bigger than that.
Copy !req
189. They won't let me
conduct research in the first place.
Copy !req
190. All I ever do is busywork in the library.
Copy !req
191. I want to work in the astronomy wing.
Copy !req
192. Isn't the work you have now enough?
Copy !req
193. It's impressive that you work at all.
Copy !req
194. Even so, I passed the same exam
as everyone else.
Copy !req
195. So why am I treated differently?
Copy !req
196. It is what it is.
Copy !req
197. You're still 14 years old.
Copy !req
198. You're also the only woman
who works there.
Copy !req
199. A talented woman at that.
Copy !req
200. Do you realize
how much that worries people?
Copy !req
201. Yes, but... that has nothing to do
with academic research.
Copy !req
202. Listen, Jolenta.
Copy !req
203. There's only one thing
for you to do at your workplace.
Copy !req
204. Nothing.
Copy !req
205. Don't stand out.
Copy !req
206. Don't strive for glory.
Copy !req
207. If you spend your days in solemn modesty,
Copy !req
208. you'll join your family in heaven one day.
Copy !req
209. But you gave me these gloves
Copy !req
210. so that I could study even in winter.
Copy !req
211. I've been a scholar at heart ever since.
Copy !req
212. For God and matters of the truth,
I don't want to retreat.
Copy !req
213. Not from my talent, progress, or life.
Copy !req
214. There are times you can't back down.
Copy !req
215. I understand.
Copy !req
216. You're an independent woman now.
Copy !req
217. My parental concern got the best of me.
Copy !req
218. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
219. Father!
Copy !req
220. I'm rooting for you.
Copy !req
221. Thank you very much!
Copy !req
222. ON THE MOVEMENTS OF THE EARTH
Copy !req
223. Orb.
Copy !req
224. I beg you.
Copy !req
225. - I beg you.
- I beg you.
Copy !req
226. What are you doing? Let's go.
Copy !req
227. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
228. - Charity is meaningless.
- What?
Copy !req
229. To think that giving alms to the poor
will lead you to heaven
Copy !req
230. is a ridiculous belief.
Copy !req
231. They're the biggest sinners of all.
Copy !req
232. I've never heard
a clergyman talk that way.
Copy !req
233. It's the fate that God assigned them.
Copy !req
234. Besides, we're here
to meet with their opposites.
Copy !req
235. People of means.
Copy !req
236. If we only have the records in that chest,
Copy !req
237. we'll never reach a better conclusion.
Copy !req
238. We need someone
with the means to provide more.
Copy !req
239. Do you have connections?
Copy !req
240. No.
Copy !req
241. They will come to us.
Copy !req
242. Here we are.
Copy !req
243. Idle nobles and the wealthy
post and solve problems here
Copy !req
244. as an intellectual game.
Copy !req
245. The more difficult
the problem, the better.
Copy !req
246. Then you mean...
Copy !req
247. I devised this highly advanced problem.
Copy !req
248. It'll take astronomical records
and keen intellect to solve.
Copy !req
249. We'll split up and post these
on prominent bulletin boards.
Copy !req
250. Then we'll wait for someone to answer.
Copy !req
251. Will someone really come?
Copy !req
252. That depends on luck.
Copy !req
253. Let's meet up at sundown.
Copy !req
254. If my treatise is praised,
I'll move to the observatory.
Copy !req
255. Oh, you're back?
Copy !req
256. Kolbe!
Copy !req
257. Hi!
Copy !req
258. Was my treatise—
Copy !req
259. About that.
Copy !req
260. Believe it or not, Count Piast praised it!
Copy !req
261. He said it was fresh thinking.
Copy !req
262. This is a great honor.
Copy !req
263. Your talent has blossomed!
Copy !req
264. - I, um...
- Huh?
Copy !req
265. I'm truly grateful.
Copy !req
266. No, don't thank me.
Copy !req
267. I submitted it in my name after all.
Copy !req
268. But it's still your work.
Copy !req
269. Yes, but you're always so supportive...
Copy !req
270. - What?
- Huh?
Copy !req
271. In your name?
Copy !req
272. As I said,
Copy !req
273. I submitted it in my name,
Copy !req
274. but you can be proud that you wrote it.
Copy !req
275. - What?
- Huh?
Copy !req
276. You submitted my treatise in your name?
Copy !req
277. Yes, of course I did.
Copy !req
278. What do you mean "of course"?
Copy !req
279. Well, you know.
Copy !req
280. Who would read a woman's treatise?
Copy !req
281. But that's...
Copy !req
282. Huh?
Copy !req
283. Don't tell me you thought
it would be in your name.
Copy !req
284. Oh, dear. This is a dilemma.
Copy !req
285. You're far too naïve.
Copy !req
286. A treatise by a woman
would be incredibly dangerous.
Copy !req
287. Any inappropriate content
would bring dire consequences.
Copy !req
288. You could be accused of witchcraft
Copy !req
289. or executed as a heretic.
Copy !req
290. But don't worry.
Copy !req
291. I won't let that happen.
Copy !req
292. You have great talent.
Copy !req
293. So, you'll write, and I'll publish.
Copy !req
294. If I earn enough praise,
Copy !req
295. I can safely bring you to the observatory.
Copy !req
296. Stick with me,
and I'll point you in the right direction.
Copy !req
297. I'll teach you
how to live smart in this world.
Copy !req
298. But in that world,
Copy !req
299. my name...
Copy !req
300. It won't remain.
Copy !req
301. Give up on that. It's the way things are.
Copy !req
302. Your name may not remain,
Copy !req
303. but at least you can publish
your thoughts, right?
Copy !req
304. Your naïveté worries me.
Copy !req
305. If you attract the wrong attention,
Copy !req
306. your life could end in a flash.
Copy !req
307. Anyway, I'll be waiting for your next one.
Copy !req
308. Farewell.
Copy !req
309. Wait!
Copy !req
310. Count Piast!
Copy !req
311. You honor us with your presence.
Copy !req
312. Hey, you.
Copy !req
313. What?
Copy !req
314. Did I hear you say
Copy !req
315. that you wrote that treatise?
Copy !req
316. My lord, that's uh—
Copy !req
317. I want her to answer.
Copy !req
318. Did you?
Copy !req
319. Th-That's...
Copy !req
320. I, uh...
Copy !req
321. A treatise by a woman
would be incredibly dangerous.
Copy !req
322. But there are times I can't back down.
Copy !req
323. Do nothing. Don't stand out.
Copy !req
324. If I back down...
Copy !req
325. Your life could end in a flash.
Copy !req
326. If I back down...
Copy !req
327. Who would read a woman's treatise?
Copy !req
328. It...
Copy !req
329. It wasn't me.
Copy !req
330. I see.
Copy !req
331. I knew you were smart.
Copy !req
332. I... was tricked.
Copy !req
333. Everything he said was a lie.
Copy !req
334. Kolbe is a wicked man.
Copy !req
335. If only... that were true.
Copy !req
336. Things would be much easier.
Copy !req
337. But it's not so.
Copy !req
338. He's a good man.
Copy !req
339. He really is looking out for me.
Copy !req
340. This must be
Copy !req
341. the best I can hope for.
Copy !req
342. This is my reality.
Copy !req
343. No, think clearly.
Copy !req
344. It's enough to have
a safe space for research.
Copy !req
345. My name isn't important.
Copy !req
346. I've been childish.
Copy !req
347. If this is how the world is,
it's important to live smart.
Copy !req
348. On to the next treatise!
Copy !req
349. What should I write next?
Copy !req
350. Next...
Copy !req
351. Why am I crying?
Copy !req
352. Tears aren't necessary!
Copy !req
353. If I cry, it's like I've lost!
Copy !req
354. If I cry, it's like there's a problem!
Copy !req
355. I just have to move on.
Copy !req
356. That's all I can do now.
Copy !req
357. I'd better search for new subject matter.
Copy !req
358. "Dear reader,
Copy !req
359. we have a need for theoretical astronomy."
Copy !req
360. "Please post your response."
Copy !req
361. What is this?
Copy !req
362. Oh, I see.
Copy !req
363. The problem is pretty advanced
for a bulletin board posting.
Copy !req
364. But wait.
Copy !req
365. Without astronomical records,
Copy !req
366. this can't be answered.
Copy !req
367. Kolbe!
Copy !req
368. He's not here.
Copy !req
369. If I act now, I can examine his records!
Copy !req
370. Here we go.
Copy !req
371. These are records of Jupiter. How cool.
Copy !req
372. Everyone else has free access
to all these records.
Copy !req
373. Wait, right now,
Copy !req
374. I think I'm doing something bad.
Copy !req
375. No, it's definitely bad. Unthinkable!
Copy !req
376. But this might help me
write a new treatise.
Copy !req
377. That could help Kolbe earn more praise.
Copy !req
378. Then again, if someone
spots me in here, I'm finished.
Copy !req
379. Even Kolbe would abandon me.
Copy !req
380. Yeah.
Copy !req
381. This is wrong.
Copy !req
382. It's wrong. I can't do it.
Copy !req
383. But I don't care if it's wrong.
Copy !req
384. I want to know the answer!
Copy !req
385. Forget it. Answer first, think later.
Copy !req
386. I've finished posting.
Copy !req
387. Good.
Copy !req
388. What is it?
Copy !req
389. There's someone standing
Copy !req
390. in front of your problem.
Copy !req
391. Could someone be posting a reply?
Copy !req
392. What? Already?
Copy !req
393. We only posted it this morning.
Copy !req
394. I answered it.
Copy !req
395. It should be okay, right?
Copy !req
396. I used a man's name.
Copy !req
397. But if someone were to see me...
Copy !req
398. If it's causing me this much anxiety,
Copy !req
399. I should have thought before I acted.
Copy !req
400. Keep this up, and I'll be caught one day.
Copy !req
401. I'd better go before someone sees me.
Copy !req
402. Excuse me!
Copy !req
