Dr. Stone (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 2 - Hot Line - full transcript

Hang in there for the
short while that I'm gone.

Hey, you've been waiting 3,700 years.

A few more months or years is no big deal.

We're going to build our Kingdom of Science.

The sound of explosives?

Run!

We'll get the Kingdom of Science's
custom-built cell phone...

to Taiju and Yuzuriha even if it kills us!

Going right, going left

Which way? which way?

If your decision is different from mine

Here is good bye

That honey, this honey

I'm sick of it

To get to know them

There is no time left for that

Hurry on ahead, to the unseen paradise

The instict of passion

It's right here

If you want to catch it

Stretch out your hand

In this withered place

If you remain here then

Even if it's you

I'll show you my fangs

Get tangled and re-tangle

Jump over this distorted world

It has ended and begun

Crawl up towards the wished for era

Get tangled and re-tangle

Jump over this distorted world

It has ended and begun

Crawl up towards the wished for era

Why do we have to be sneaking out?!

If we're spotted then they'll follow us.

Our top-secret cell phone
strategy would be wasted then and there!

If it's that scout 'Homura'
that we're worried about,

why don't we just kill her or catch her?

Sure, if we knew where she was hiding!

Although, right now, even Homura-chan
who usually keeps hidden

won't be able to just wait-and-see.

It's gunpowder that they're
worried about, after all.

There's no way someone
whose job is to keep watch

isn't going to check out
such a huge explosion.

If Homura's going to appear,

it'll be along the line between that hill
and the area with the sonic bombs-

I caught a glimpse!

A shape moving really quickly!

She's already gone to catch her.

Kohaku-chan sure is ferocious.

In action and decision-making.

Senku gave us this one-in-a-million
chance with his sonic bombs.

No matter what, I have to take care of Homura here..!

Explosion... remains.

Chills.

My neck.

How is she moving like that?

Gymnastics.

There's no way you'd know,
belonging to this era...

I don't intend to needlessly kill you!

I know.

That was the back of your sword.

How long will you chase me?

Until I catch you.

Futile.

Give up.

Stop resisting and let me restrain you!

No way I'd listen.

I'm answering on purpose...

trying to make her talk and lose her breath, but...

Kohaku...

I can't shake her off.

Homura... I'm not getting closer at all.

She's fast.

She's fast.

Then, I'll drive her towards
the village to corner her.

They're coming this way!

Get the elderly and children to take shelter!

Everyone else, get ready to surround her!

Senku?

You're curious, right?

Scoop out your eyes and take a good long look!

Science surprise gadget, level 2:

the flash grenade!

What's this?!

Long time no see!

I am Mecha Senku!

I'm gonna teach you how to make flash grenades.

First, boil sea water to make
this stuff called "bittern."

Melt that down and zap it with
electricity, and you get magnesium!

Shove it in a light bulb, and you're done.

This is the stuff they use in Print Gocco.

You've never heard of Print Gocco?

Ask your mom and dad.

They might know!

With the strength of flea, Senku has..!

So cool!

Watch where you're touching me.

Think about who you're trying
to pull that trick on.

Once we're done building civilization,
I'll play the pure, innocent boy all you want.

Force him off and run..?

There's no way I'm stronger than...

He didn't stand a chance!

Strength of a flea!

It's not a matter of strength.

Whats going on, with this woman's fighting technique?

She's gotten away.

My eyes are still flickering.

I guess having such good eyes
can be a bad thing too.

Kinro.

Ginro.

Kohaku.

Suika.

Kaseki.

Jasper.

Kokuyo.

Turquoise.

Mantle.

Argo.

Why does she know everyone's names?

Apparently, that's just how closely and
thoroughly she's been observing us.

Where are Chrome.. Magma.. and Gen?

The main force of the village is here,
but those three are missing.

That's unnatural...

Where are they?

Chrome, the technician,
and Magma, the muscle.

Are they mining for gems?

No, they wouldn't need Gen.

Why is Gen with them?

To guide them?

Where?

They're carrying something to our home base.

To require a diversion...
Some critical scientific weapon?

What is it?

She likely figured it out...
That Chrome and the cell phone team are on the move.

This is bad!

I guess we can't count on tracking her.

Chrome and the advance party are headed
straight for the Tsukasa Empire headquarters.

Homura is chasing them.

It's only a matter of time before
she discovers their cell phone.

If she destroys it or even just
notifies Tsukasa, it's over.

Please, no!

We worked so hard on it!

We're going to have to capture her first.

While Homura-chan chases Chrome
and the others, we'll chase her in turn?!

That's sounds tough!

Let's spark our final weapon,
Science surprise gadget: level 3!

Where the light is shining...

...there are marks lighting up!

Now then, we're out of time.

Let's get started.

It's the start of our
happy double pursuit race.

These markings dotting the
way are Homura's path?

But, why are we seeing this light?

Come on, stop sleeping.

You guys have seen it before.

The blue gems!

In powdered form.

I see!

You put it on Homura's arms and legs!

Oh?

But I thought it only lights up
briefly just before dawn.

Ultraviolet light.

This is a light of science
that emits it artificially.

The black light.

Nickel, barium...

We needed all those treasures
we found in the cave to make it.

It's basically just a purple light bulb
we made by mixing them with glass.

We can follow these.

We can chase her like this!

Senku, let me make something clear.

Homura's movements are exceptional.

Gymnastics.

It's a skill that doesn't exist in your age.

We likely won't be able to capture her unharmed.

But if I stop using the back of my blade,

taking off her head should be possible.

We could dismantle the
Tsukasa Empire without bloodshed.

Am I free to kill her?

Kohaku, have you ever killed a human being?

Of course not.

That's why, the moment I must do it,

I will definitely hesitate...

My own weakness will be exposed.

In order to have the conviction
to go through with it,

I must impress it upon
myself with forceful words.

Relax.

You might not even get a chance to use that
horrible thing you have on your waist.

Why do you think we worked so hard
on that ridiculously huge box?

The ultimate weapon of modern
warfare: telecommunication.

No, no, no!

Is anything broken? The vacuum tubes?

Either way, we should check
it every now and then.

It rang!

Stop!

Don't answer it, Chrome-chan!

Why not?

It stopped.

There's only one reason they
would call at this stage.

And it was one ring.

Homura-chan has spotted us.

We're being chased!

If she saw us use the receiver,
she'd realize we're carrying a cell phone.

Our job is still to keep
going as if we're oblivious.

This race is a doubled-up game of tag.

Chrome's team, carrying the cell phone...

Homura, who's chasing them...

And us, chasing Homura.

But what happens if we coordinate
via radio waves in this situation?

Our game of tag suddenly
turns into a pincer attack!

That's information warfare.

Hyoga-sama...

This is bad.

The light ends after this river.

Damn, she washed all the powder off.

She must have noticed it
glowing in the morning sun.

Also, this 'cell phone' thing
keeps ringing on and off..?

Gen-sensei is one-ringing us.

He's using the ringer to send us Morse code.

We can't use voice calls,
so we're texting each other.

That would be one way to think of it.

I can't picture that at all.

We don't get your scientific
civilization analogies.

Gen's reported locations

and Homura's route have matched
up for the past several kilometers.

Which means Homura has caught up to
them, and she's tailing them now.

That information is worth its weight in gold.

With Homura in front of us,

and with us communicating our
positions using our cell phones,

we can see where every piece is.

It's an information pincer.

Nope, no good.

It's not picking up a signal anymore.

Chrome-chan, can you set
it up on top of a tree?

Sure.

"Signal"?

No way...

In this stone world?

A Communication device?

I have to confirm it.

As a scout!

I could destroy it right now.

This opportunity is...

A fake?

Why?

Gen's switch-out magic trick!

Can't land safely.

Death... assured.

Goodbye, Hyoga-sama.

Now!

No matter how fast you are,

your timing and where you'll appear!
If we have all of that information,

we can capture you unharmed!

Yes!

Exhilarating, isn't it?

This is information warfare,
brought to you by the Kingdom of Science.

This is...

We've finally arrived!

Final boss Tsukasa's main base!

Shh, Chrome-chan!

There's a guy with crazy hearing
in Tsukasa-chan's army.

My bad.

Damn, getting caught after coming
all the way here would be-

Jeez, it's a statue.

This is bad... They all look awfully strong.

Something's written in blood on their faces.

Looks like priority numbers
for when to revive them.

Those weren't there when I last saw them.

The lowest number is 33.

Which means...

Tsukasa-chan has revived
at least 32 people since then.

He's going quite a bit faster than I anticipated.

Even if we keep winning
Tsukasa's people over,

if he keeps making new soldiers
even faster it won't matter.

This is a bit bad.

Then why don't we just wreck
all of them right now?

No, even that's too much work.

Just break their arms or
legs off as we find them,

and they won't be able to fight.

You're pretty brutal, Magma.

I sort of forgot, since you'd
kind of become an ally.

He's merciless to his enemies isn't he? Seriously.

Although speaking pragmatically,
looking at the pros and cons,

it's probably best to destroy them now.

Aw, I can't.

These statues haven't done anything wrong.

Maybe if they were major
villains or something, but...

We humans can pretend
we're realists all we want,

but when the time actually
comes to kill someone...

We're so weak, aren't we?

So weak.

That's why Tsukasa-chan's so dangerous,
because he can go ahead and do it.

We have to stop him.

You aren't weak.

We're aiming way higher.

To try not to spill any blood.

We just need to convert people faster
than Tsukasa can grow his army.

So let's go.

Our mission is to set up a cell phone
hot line as soon as possible.

Except Magma,

you totally were gonna
casually destroy those statues.

What do you care about
that bunch of strangers?

Ah yes, okay.

I'm glad Magma-chan's on our side, seriously.

Where are we?

A grave.

For Tsukasa's men?

No.

Then who?

It's Senku-chan's grave.

Senku is dead?!

He's obviously alive.

It's a fake, to make Tsukasa think he's dead.

We have them thinking I'm dead.

You'd better visit my grave regularly.

So Senku's grave will be
our drop-off point, huh?

It's a perfect holy ground.

Tsukasa's men won't have
any interest in my grave.

And even if they visit often,

his people would think it's
just to pay respects.

The place they come together
to speak with the dead Senku.

It's the birth of the ghost communicator.

Brilliant, isn't it?

Since it's a grave, it isn't unnatural
for them to talk to the departed.

But this... might be a little unnatural!

It's totally obvious you're hiding something!

Damn a rock. It's in the way.

You don't hold back
at all, do you, Magma?!

Anyway, hurry and hide it!

Looks like we got away with it.

You scrawny twigs scare too easily.

We still can't be certain.

I mentioned it, right?
There's a guy with crazy hearing?

No!

So bad!

I definitely heard sounds
coming from around here.

If someone from Tsukasa's army finds
the cell phone first, it's over.

They've got the mentalist with them.

They won't be hiding
it in a crappy way.

Besides, those two will be fine.

They're a tag team of diligence and tenacity.

They'll definitely find it.

No matter what the situation.

I-It's ringing!

But, what if it's one of Tsukasa's people?

Yo.

Senku!

I missed this all so much, I could cry.

Including your ridiculously loud voice.

The exit I cannot see, this voice I cannot reach.

I don't even know who I am anymore.

I continue struggling and suffering but even so,

Someday I'll use these feelings to push myself on.

It's a story that will definitely, decidedly not change.

I knew that I'd never stand a chance and said so.

Hey, hey!

Let me hear it, in your all out voice!

Reach out and grab the outstretched hand...

Change the future.

Live! Live!

Wander long and far, scramble and search,

There's still more to discover ahead of you.

If you need me to give you something important,

I'll keep on going, further and further!

Again and again! Again and again!

Looking for the answers.

Move forward...

Closer to the future!
