Episode 21: Sorrowful QuatreEpisode 21: Sorrowful Quatre Man in space suit: Hey, look at that! Other man in space suit: That's a Federation MS! Doctor: You're awake, hm. How do you feel? This is a resource mining satellite. I wonder why were you in that MS? You don't look like a Federation soldier. Quatre: I- Doctor: Don't move, yet. You would have died, you know, if you'd kept drifting like that. Quatre: Wh- why did you rescue me? Doctor: Because I'm a doctor. I'm not affiliated with OZ or the Federation. This is supposed to be an independent zone anyway, but... Quatre: I'm sorry, I should have thanked you for saving me. Do you know of any place I can get a shuttle?! Doctor: No, I can't let a patient go anywhere in this condition. Quatre: It doesn't matter about me! Doctor: Calm down. I can tell you're in a hurry about something, but your body is in bad shape. Right now, what's important is for you to rest your mind and body. I can arrange a shuttle. Can you wait? Quatre: Sorry to inconvenience you. Doctor: It's no problem. Promise to stay there and rest, OK? Officer: It's no good. The target is too fast for the Leos. Their direction (?) is not changing. Lady Une: So I see Leos can't be used effectively in space, then. Officer: We have a report that it might be the Tallguese. Lady Une: I don't care what it is! I won't allow an armed MS to approach. Trowa: If you sent out the Mobile Dolls, that would take care of it. But sources tell me that those new MS have been completed. I'd like to test the abilities of both Mercurious and Vayiette. Officer: Fool! You'd use them in battle right away?! Lady Une: What about the other pilot? Officer: Let me go, Lady Une. Trowa: An ordinary pilot would just be in the way and compromise the test results. Officer: What?! Lady Une: I understand. Trowa Barton, I'm putting you in command of the destruction of the Tallguese. Trowa: Yes, ma'am. Officer: Come out! Dr. J: What do you think of Vayiette and Mercurious? Lady Une: Excellent. They're just what I'd expect from a Gundam designer. Dr. J: It's no problem for me. Officer: But it's dangerous! To put that Gundam pilot in the Mercurious. Trowa: OZ knows better than anyone else what a superior pilot he is. Lady Une: Trowa can operate the self-destruct controls for the Mercurious from his Vayiette. Dr. J: Yes, I've made it all ready, as you requested. Lady Une: Trowa, if he does anything remotely suspicious, you may blow up the Mercurious. Trowa: That won't be necessary. He fought with Tallguese in Siberia. He's not thinking of anything except finishing the fight. Lady Une: How do you know that? Trowa: If OZ soldiers would investigate a little, they'd understand. I'm glad he self- destructed. I would have died in the colony otherwise. Lady Une: I'm grateful, too. That's how I was able to acquire Trowa Barton as my soldier. Trowa: How is it? Heero: Not bad. It handles not too differently than a Gundam. Trowa: As you'd expect. Trowa: Hey, Gundam pilot. How are you against Mobile Dolls? Heero: First, infiltrate and make yourself a target for the Mobile Dolls. (?) Trowa: Don't get carried away. Do you want to be blown up? Heero: Their weak point is that their maneuverability and reactions are completely the same type as that of humans. It's just a question of whether the human that goes up against them is as good. In my opinion, people who don't like space will have a hard time winning against them. (?) ...There's no need for Mobile Dolls. I'll stop that white one. Lock on target. Have them advance. Trowa: I wonder why he came into space? Heero: Hm. Zechs: Mobile Dolls? My reactions are not fast enough. Zechs: He stopped them? Zechs: They're destroying the Mobile Dolls as they fight with me. There aren't many pilots who could do that in space. Zechs: I don't have time to play with you. Take me in. I never thought you'd join OZ. Trowa: I'm Trowa Barton. Zechs Marquise. Zechs: I'd like to give my name as Milliard Peacecraft. I've come from Earth as a goodwill ambassador. (commercial) Narration: The majority of humans who went into space were technicians and laborers. They left the stability of the earth and began life in a different environment, which gave rise to new strength. The Winner family became the representatives of the neighboring colonies. Even now with the Federation destroyed, Winner stands for peace and against OZ. Man: Winner... Winner: What? Quatre's back? Doctor: I wonder how old you were when this was taken? Quatre: Thank you. It wasn't necessary to accompany me all the way here. Doctor: Don't worry about it. I have business of my own here. Winner: Disobedient son. Quatre: I still think what I'm doing is right! Winner: Humans have just become able to live in space. Why must there be war? It's impossible and pointless. That's why we were hoping to solve things through discussion. And you not only went down to earth in a MS, but created an excuse for earth to attack us. Quatre: But if no one fights, this war will never be over. Winner: And? Is it over? Is it over because you fought? What can you do? You're just a child. How can you accomplish anything? Heirs should listen to their parents! Just think a little, OK?! Doctor: I think he makes a splendid heir! Winner: You, too?! Doctor: Father, just because he's a child doesn't mean there's nothing he can do. My dear brother is a fine heir. Doctor: Really, father understands that talking won't solve things with OZ. But he thinks if all the colonies unite on this issue, we can succeed. Quatre: Why didn't you tell me you're my sister? Doctor: I heard from father that my brother was a Gundam pilot. But I thought he'd get angry if I told you, so I wasn't sure what to do. Quatre: I knew I had a sister on a resource satellite... Doctor: We're all your allies. Even father. He was the one who worried most when you ran off alone. Quatre: Really? Winner: MS are not necessary. He cooperated with the instructor without regard to my wishes. Solving one problem this way will just cause another. He doesn't understand. Quatre: This is where my Gundam was built. But it was destroyed because of my incompetence (?) on the earth. Doctor: What are you saying? Quatre: I'll build a new Gundam so I can continue fighting. Doctor: You're really going to fight for us--for the colonies--again? The other Gundam pilots who fought like you have been captured and their Gundams destroyed, and the colonies were glad to see it. No one in space loves the Gundams. Do you still intend to keep on fighting, Quatre? Quatre: I'm not fighting for the praise and glory. But I believe that everyone will understand some day. Doctor: Forgive your sister. We all love you, so don't be sad. Our Quatre. Quatre: Thank you, Iria. Winner: What is your vision of our future? Why do you claim we need armed forces? Senate-type man: Mr. Winner, we understand what you're saying, but this is a dangerous location. Other Senate-type man: The people want to protect themselves. Winner: You think weapons will keep you safe? How can you look at a weapons build- up and think of words like "safety" and "peace"? OZ Officer: If it hadn't been for Mr. Winner's financial backing, this colony would not be what it is today. But now the people live by their own efforts. You're trying to maintain a dictatorship! Winner: When did I ever do such a thing? All I did was stand up against OZ intervention. If anyone's trying to run a dictatorship, it's you people! Winner: Why must I cooperate in building weapons and tools to kill? Quatre: What are they saying? Doctor: The wind is blowing hard against us now. They're upset, thinking we are trying to control all the resources. Quatre: But! Doctor: We certainly own a lot of the resource satellites. But we were never dictators! We gambled everything to come out here. Quatre: Everyone knows that! Doctor: People's feelings change. Feelings about you and about father. Quatre: But...we're just doing what's right! Senate-type man: The outcome of the resolution is unanimous. We place the resource satellite under the jurisdiction of OZ. Winner: I will not allow this satellite to be used for building weapons. Doctor: What?! Father has separated the satellite from the colony? Man: Yes, and the speed is increasing. OZ Officer: This is what kind of man he is! Thinking only of his own benefit and destroying the future of this colony. Do you approve? Gentlemen? ...Since there are no objections, for the good of this colony, OZ will stop him. Doctor: Father, please stop! There's no point! They're just going to come after you! Winner: Do you ask me to stand by and watch OZ's aggression? Doctor: Father! Winner: Quatre, never fight in a MS again. It won't solve anything. Quatre: Father... Winner: Idiot, don't come near! The beam cannon is pointed this way! Quatre: Father! Escape! Run away! Winner: Quatre, I am running away. I will not fight. There is no end to fighting. So I run. If that means running towards death, so be it. There's no future for space if we throw away our ideals. Quatre: Father! Father!! Doctor: Quatre, Father was fighting, wasn't he? He wasn't running away. He was fighting admirably. Quatre: Don't move, Iria, think of your injuries. Doctor: You're so kind and gentle. So was Father. Why did he have to be killed? Quatre: No one understands the tears of gentle people. Are the colonies satisfied now?! Are they satisfied ?! I'll never forget! And...I'll never let them forget...what happened today! Ha ha ha ha ha ha... Zechs: Space... It's so quiet...
