My apologies for calling you up here.

I know you've been waiting.

Well, I must say, your telegram took me by surprise.

Who would have thought that the son of the archduke assassinated in Sarajevo

would be interested in my invention?

Oh?

Truly fascinating!

A little beastie perched on the shoulder of a Clanker prince!

Mr. Tesla, that's not the issue--

So what exactly were you implying with your words back at the venue?

The abnormal weather patterns occurring across the world for the past few years.

And then Tunguska's… massive explosion.

They were all your work, weren't they?

There's no point in hiding it!

We already know the location of that device--

That's right, Aleksandar!

They were all part of my experiments.

With enough power

to make the entire world believe it to be a giant meteor…

Its name is Goliath!

And just what purpose does this Goliath serve?!

I've kept this hidden in absolute secrecy,

but there's no need to anymore.

Tomorrow, all will be revealed.

You mean the demonstration you mentioned earlier?

That's right.

With Goliath,

I'll obliterate an uninhabited island in the Mediterranean.

Then I will make my warning clear to the world.

Any nation that continues to wage war or dares to start a new one,

I shall immediately set Goliath's sights upon them.

So what you're saying is, you're trying to end the war?

Precisely!

With my genius invention, I will bring peace to the world!

Thank goodness.

Hey, old man.

Huh?

Oh, I saw you earlier.

And you are?

Dylan Sharp!

A crew member of the great Leviathan.

That whale's "great," huh?

I mean, you've been talking really big this whole time.

But any country that resists, you're just gonna blow them away like Tunguska, right?

-That's what you call peace? -Sharp…

That's no different from war--

Oh, Mr. Beren Farb.

No! It's Dylan Sha--

Shut up!

Now, clean out those filthy ears of yours and listen up.

Since the birth of mankind on this earth,

we have repeatedly fallen into the cycle of war.

Foolish mankind can never stop fighting unless peace is enforced.

That is why I created Goliath!

Finally, thanks to this, peace will come to mankind!

This is an unprecedented invention that will overturn history.

My name shall be spoken for eternity.

Or do you actually believe another way exists to end war?

Well…

But still, what if some villain got their hands on it?

Rest assured,

no one can ever take Goliath from me.

Now then, Aleksandar,

I would like to formally invite you to tomorrow's historic event.

What?

As the first victim of this great war,

you shall stand at its end and call for peace.

Like hell he--

So that there won't be any more orphans like you.

All right.

Magnificent! Perfect!

Well then, you should come, too, along with Dr. Barlow.

Sorry, but we've been keeping an eye on you since you arrived in New York.

And, of course,

we're well aware that the Darwin family has been looking into Tunguska.

Mr. Tesla, the diplomat is waiting.

I'm on my way.

What do you say?

Shall we go together and do a rehearsal for tomorrow?

Oh, okay. Well, then--

No, you can't!

Tonight, you know, you've got things to do.

Right?

Oh yeah.

Well, then it can't be helped. I'll be looking forward to tomorrow.

Hey, are you serious about tomorrow?

If your location gets exposed, won't the German army come after you?

Of course, I'm worried too.

But if my presence can help bring an end to this war…

But… but still,

I just can't do it. I can't trust him.

I don't know how to put it.

Let's just go talk to the doctor.

Yeah.

Alek!

Blisters!

Hey! Wait!

Ow…

Hey, wait! Stop!

Wait! Tesla!

There it is.

Already that many?

It feels like a festival.

-Ah, looks like everyone's gathered. -Whoa!

Oh wow!

It's Tesla!

Hold on now.

This flying machine isn't the highlight of today.

The real show is yet to begin, and it's going to be on a whole other level.

And look who we have here. Our special guest of the day.

Well, Dr. Barlow, it's been a long while.

But wait, where's the most important guest of all?

Quit playing dumb!

Give back Alek, you bumrag!

Could you keep it down a little?

Oh, sorry.

Let those two through.

Yes, sir.

All right, members of the press,

please wait just a little longer until showtime!

That guy is always shady as hell.

Oh yeah, Alek!

Now, over here.

Please, I've prepared tea from your homeland.

Mr. Tesla, I truly appreciate the honor of being invited to the demonstration.

No, the honor's all mine.

Having a member of the Darwin family here

is truly something special.

Well, thank you for that.

That aside,

did something happen to Aleksandar?

Sharp!

The German army…

You have honed your ability to pretend to be asleep.

Volger!

You… were attacked too?!

What's going on?

Your Highness, I sincerely apologize for bringing you here in such a rough manner.

You are now inside the latest amphibious walker, the U-Base.

Explain yourself! Why are you with the German army?!

You left me no other choice.

How dare you?!

I regret it.

That day in the Alps, I should never have let you leave the castle, no matter what.

Everything began to fall apart from that night onward.

Even after Klopp's sacrifice,

you chose to side with the Darwinists,

recklessly claiming you could end this war "on your own."

I was absolutely appalled.

I thought, "His Highness has truly fallen to the lowest depths."

So I decided to seek support from the German army.

You must understand.

We are returning to Austria on this submarine.

No way.

I made a promise to your father.

No matter what, I will protect the Habsburg bloodline

and raise you to be a great king.

But we fled from our country.

They were after us, and yet--

With victory in sight, the German army no longer sees you as a threat.

Herr Volger, shall we proceed?

Yes, my apologies.

Now then, Your Highness,

the captain wishes to greet you,

so if you would be so kind?

How could you join forces with them?

They, too, wish to establish friendly relations with Your Highness.

That would serve Germany's best interests after the war, I suppose.

You must see this.

The shortest path to restoring Austria's peace and stability

is for you to assume the throne.

Attention, all crew.

We are approaching Long Island.

Prepare for landing immediately.

I repeat. We are approaching Long Island…

Rest assured,

we will put an end to that mad scientist's rampage.

What?

He told us everything, you know.

That time Leviathan made its way from the Ottoman Empire to Tunguska.

Not only that, he even left notes on George Darwin's research.

You…

Obviously, they wouldn't act unless there was a clear benefit for them.

Volger!

We're on our way to take that world-threatening toy away

from Nikola Tesla, the science-obsessed child.

What's going on?

Hey.

Where are you going?

What's this place?

Something with a magnetic system is closing in from offshore.

I'd say… a giant U-boat.

What?! The German army?!

Don't tell me they're after Goliath?

Looks like they plan to seize it before the demonstration.

Just what I'd expect from the brutish German army.

Barking spiders…

Volger, do you even realize what you've done?!

Calm down.

We have to stop this now.

I said calm down.

Tesla is a Serb,

just like the man who killed your father.

And right now, Austria and Serbia are at war.

So what?

It means that crazy weapon could be aimed at our homeland.

No!

I spoke to Tesla myself.

He's trying to stop this war!

If you're naive enough to believe such nonsense blindly,

you are unfit to be king, Your Highness.

Let me be clear.

The only way to guarantee Austria's security

is to place that weapon in the hands of the German army.

But that would put the entire world at risk.

If they seize such overwhelming power…

Your Highness, it may be wise to postpone the captain's greeting for now.

You should rest.

This has all been quite sudden, and I can see it is a lot to take in.

This is the result of your inadequate explanation, Herr Volger.

My apologies.

Postpone it for now. Inform the captain.

Roger that.

Come, let's go back to your room so you can cool off.

Don't be ridiculous.

What have you done?!

We cannot let Goliath… that device fall into the hands of the German army!

Tesla is really trying to end--

Quiet! Hold your tongue!

Do you have any idea what this means?

We have come this far,

all for your future…

And what if I refuse to obey?

Will you smack me in the cheek?

I am not a child anymore.

I will stop this vessel!

How?

What can you possibly do on your own?

I'll call… the Leviathan.

I'm glad I learned to pilot it,

the Stormwalker.

If you truly refuse to obey…

then you'll have to kill me!

I'll be borrowing the radio.

Leviathan, do you read?

Leviathan, respond.

Doctor, what are you doing?

We have to stop them from landing.

We have to stop the German army from seizing Goliath at all costs.

Oh, I like the sound of that!

This is Leviathan. Over.

Thank goodness.

This is Dr. Barlow. Connect me to the captain immediately.

Yes, ma'am.

Hey, old man, don't worry! Leviathan's got your back…

Huh?

What the hell is he doing?

Today's demonstration is canceled.

Aye, obviously. Now's not the time for that.

Dr. Barlow.

Dr. Barlow?

-You… don't tell me you're… -Dr. Barlow?

I appreciate your concern, Dr. Barlow.

But there's no need to call in that whale.

Hey, what the hell do you think you're doing?!

Huh?

Stop it!

This is no demonstration,

but the real operation!

Initiating Goliath's charge.

If that's how it is, then I will make you obey by force.

Volger,

my mind… won't change!

Get out of my way!

I must stop the German army, no matter what!
