[robot in Japanese] Eden is habitable for humans

-but water is scarce. -[grunts]

-Now scanning for organisms. -[breathes deeply]

I wasn't expecting it to be paradise but… are you okay?

[sighs] Yes.

It's a new beginning.

[♪ gentle music]

[astronaut] Yes… though it's nothing like Earth.

-Romi! We're finally free! -[gasps]

[both laugh]

[Romi] Thank you for bringing me here!

[both laughing]

-Oh. -[Romi gasps]

Let's take off our spacesuits…

[Romi chuckles]

[Romi] This is our Garden of Eden.

[footsteps approaching]

Mm-mm.

[Romi's partner] You're an amazing cook, Romi.

[Romi] Let's celebrate our new beginning.

Yeah.

We need to get set up while supplies last.

[Romi] Right.

Do you have regrets? Our future is so uncertain.

[sighs]

As long as I'm with you… I'm fine.

[Romi] I'll do my best to grow vegetables and crops,

so we have fresh food.

[inhales sharply] I'll bring life to this wasteland.

[Romi's partner] I'll make this work. You won't regret this.

-[Romi humming] -[water trickling]

[vehicle engine rumbling]

[♪ mysterious music]

This time for sure…

[Romi's partner] Who'd think I have to come this far?

[robot squeaks]

Where is it? [sighs]

[wind gusting]

[gasping softly]

[Romi's partner] Whatever happened to the colonists?

[Romi's partner panting]

[♪ tense music]

[Romi's partner gasps]

[soft gasp]

[Romi's partner exclaiming]

[robot] There is no water in this area either.

[shuddering]

[Romi's partner screams]

[metallic squeaking]

[squeaking continues]

[robot] The water has dried up here.

[shouts] Be quiet!

[Romi's partner] Will you shut up?

George, don't take it out on Shiva.

-[rumbling] -[hissing]

[Romi] Here.

We have to find another site quickly.

[grunts]

Let's head back and eat. A storm is coming.

[sighs heavily]

[Romi] The tomatoes should be ripe.

[George groans]

[whirring]

[soft gasp]

[Romi] The wind buries everything…

Our water supply won't last a year.

How could I bring you to this horrible place?

I knew it'd be hard…

[Romi] We had to escape Earth.

Can't we contact some colony for assistance?

We can't count on it.

We have time.

Don't give up.

[sighs]

About the water--

[gags]

[George] Huh?

[Romi grunts]

Romi?

[Shiva] Romi is three months pregnant.

[George] Really, Shiva?

Now I really have to find water!

[static] [static]

[George] Did it move?

[Romi] Yes, it's an active baby.

Just like Daddy!

[♪ pensive music]

[humming]

[humming continues]

[George] I'll be home today.

Shiva, pick me up at B40-A before sunset.

[Shiva] Affirmative.

[George] Is it a boy or a girl?

[Romi] Shiva says there's a 70% probability that it's a boy.

[astonished gasp]

So I guess it's a boy.

Yes! We made it!

Our future begins!

[George whooping]

[Romi] But you said you wanted a girl.

[George laughing]

[rumbling]

Huh? Huh? Huh?

[soft gasp]

-[clanks] -[gasps]

[exclaims]

[exclaiming]

[George grunting]

[grunts, groans]

[rumbling]

[terrified gasp]

[static]

[George] I did it. I found water.

[gasps] George?

[George] You can survive now.

I'm happy for you.

What's wrong, George? You sound strange.

[George] You can grow vegetables in the field.

The planet is yours.

-[static] -[George] You're its Queen, Romi.

-[Romi] What are you saying, George? -[water pattering]

You're coming home today, aren't you?

[Romi] George?

[George] I'm sorry…

Romi.

[footsteps approaching]

[baby grunting softly]

[Romi] You wanted him to be named Cain, right?

[♪ light music]

[vehicle engine rumbling]

[Romi] Cain, let's eat.

[Cain] Okay!

Hello, Shiva!

[Cain grunts]

[chomping]

Watch your manners, Cain. Eat slowly.

You're Eden's first native-born citizen…

[Shiva] The Prince of this planet.

Prince?

[Shiva] You're number one.

[exclaims] Number one?

[Shiva] You're Eden's most valued citizen!

-[sighs] -[Cain] I am?

-You'll do anything I say, Shiva? -[♪ pensive music]

[Shiva] Yes.

[Cain] Really?

[Shiva] Yes, Master.

[Cain] You swear?

[Shiva] I swear.

[Cain] Cross your heart?

[Shiva] Cross my heart.

-[Cain snoring] -[breathing shakily]

[Romi breathing shakily]

[Romi sighs]

[Romi] Shiva?

-[Shiva] Yes, Romi? -[Romi] Is Cain healthy?

[Shiva] Yes. He has adapted to the environment well.

He will grow up healthily.

[Romi] How much longer will I live?

[Shiva] A DNA analysis reveals that your life expectancy is 60 to 70.

You're overworked but healthy.

Then what?

How about Cain?

What happens after I die?

[Romi sobbing]

I don't want him to die alone…

[Romi] I don't want him to be the last human.

[♪ serene music]

[Romi] Your dad and I traveled very, very far in this vessel.

We came from Earth to this planet.

A beautiful planet with plenty of food.

I want to go there.

Yes… we'll make this planet wonderful like Earth.

Hmm. Let's do that!

[Romi] Once I'm well, we'll go to Earth.

[exclaims] Are you sick, Romi?

Yes.

I want to get better so we can be together

so I must sleep for a long time.

How long?

[Romi] You'll be grown up when I wake up.

No! Don't leave me alone!

You're the King of Eden.

This is for both of us.

Do as Shiva says and everything will be okay.

[Cain sobbing]

[Romi] You won't be alone.

-[sobbing continues] -[footsteps thudding on stairs]

-[chimes] -[Romi] Shiva, look after Cain for me.

[Shiva] Yes, I'll take care of him.

[♪ tense music]

[Shiva] I'll set this so you hibernate for 13 years.

[sobbing]

[rumbling]

[♪ dramatic music]

[Shiva grunts, screaming]

[beeping]

[grunts]

[shouts] You're stupid, Romi!

[♪ music fades]

[rustling]

[♪ uneasy music]

[Cain breathes deeply]

[snipping]

[Shiva humming]

[♪ tranquil music]

[Shiva] This bread is made of ground corn.

It has 30% of the calories of Earth's cornbread.

The quality is gradually but steadily improving.

In six years, we can give some to Romi.

[Cain] Yeah.

[Shiva] I'm sure she'll love it.

[Cain] Let's sow these seeds.

[Shiva] Okay.

[♪ tranquil music continues]

[scraping]

[grunting]

-[clinks] -[Cain sucks teeth]

[Shiva] What do you think?

I don't know… I think it's good.

[Cain] I wish you could try it.

[Shiva] Unfortunately, I am a robot.

We'll give some to Romi tomorrow.

Mm.

[Cain sighs]

[Cain] What will I talk to Romi about?

Would she be better now?

What's Romi like?

It's been so long, I can't remember.

[Shiva] She's strong, warm, and gentle.

[breathes deeply]

When she wakes up, we'll fly beyond the sky to Earth.

[Cain] What is Earth like, Shiva?

[Shiva] It's wonderful.

[soft chuckle]

[soft grunt]

[machine beeping]

[Cain] Is it time?

[Shiva] In 20 seconds.

[Cain] Romi…

[Shiva] Three, two, one…

Zero.

Romi didn't wake up…

Huh?

-I'll check. -Huh?

[Shiva] Everything is functioning normally.

[soft gasp]

When will she wake up?

[Shiva] Romi will wake in 1,287 years.

[gasps]

What do you mean?

[whimpers]

You said we'd go to Earth together.

[Cain] Wake up, Romi!

Wake up! We made a promise! [sobs]

[shouts] Romi, wake up! Romi!

Wake up! Wake up now!

-Wake up! -[whirring]

-[grunts] -[Shiva] If you break it, Romi will die.

If she sleeps that long, she's as good as dead!

[Cain grunts]

-When she wakes up, I won't be around! -[clanking]

-[Shiva] Disabling me is not the solution. -[Cain grunting]

Get Romi out!

[Cain] Give me Romi!

[Shiva] Cain, stop, because I…

[panting]

[Shiva gibbering]

[Shiva] I won't be able to speak with… you.

[powers down]

[Cain panting]

[sighs, gasps]

I'm sorry, Shiva!

Shiva, please speak to me.

Shiva, speak to me!

Shiva!

[Cain crying]

[Cain] I apologize…

Please don't leave me alone.

[♪ somber music]

[grunting]

I'm going to get you out, Romi.

[Cain grunts loudly]

[glass cracking]

[Cain exclaims]

[♪ dramatic music]

[gasps]

-[Romi grunts] -[exclaims]

[Romi] It hurts…

Cain, help me!

Romi!

Help me… Cain.

[breathing heavily, rapidly]

[Cain] Shiva? Shiva!

[footsteps thudding]

[sighs]

[wind gusting]

[soft groan]

[Cain] By the time Romi wakes up,

I would've been dead so long, even my bones won't remain.

Shiva, all my crops have failed to grow…

I can't do anything right on my own.

[♪ ominous music]

Romi…

[♪ ominous music continues]

-[rumbles] -[exclaims, grunts]

Huh?

[Cain] What is that?

[grunts]

[♪ intense music]

[♪ intense music continues]

[screams]

[Cain] A beautiful planet with plenty of food.

I want to go to Earth!

[Romi] Right. It's my home.

The home I'll never return to.

[Cain] I'll take you to Earth, I promise.

[Romi chuckles softly]

[Cain] What's that?

[Romi] That's the sky and ocean…

[Cain] And these?

[Romi] They're animals. There are many on Earth.

There are birds that fly freely in the sky.

[Cain] They can fly! Really?

[grunting]

[groaning]

[pants]

[♪ pensive music]

Why am I alive?

Why was I born?

Bird…

You have to listen to me.

[rumbling]

[liquid gurgling]

Huh?

[soft gasp]

[alien life-form] Water in eyes…

Poor thing.

It must have been hard, being on your own.

Your heart was longing for that woman.

-So I took on the shape of her. -[gasping]

[Cain] Please…

Please be by my side forever.

[Cain sobbing]

Please don't leave me alone.

-[♪ somber music] -[Cain inhales deeply]

[alien life-form] I came from a distant star system.

-[Cain sobs] -I've come to make children with you.
