Act. 36 : The Pursuit of Hatred

Adolf: (rustle)
	(rustle rustle)
	(rustle)(rustle)
	Blast!

<<Robot: KILL GESICHT.
	AT THE FOOT OF A LARCH TREE 100 STEPS NORTH OF THE SAFE HOUSE.

 - Page 100 -

<<Robot: YOU WILL FIND A WEAPON.

Adolf: What weapon...?
	I don't see it anywhere!!
	(shhf)

Maier: Mr. Haas!
	What are you doing out here?!
	I'm Maier, from Europol.

Adolf: You want me to go back to the safe house? Fine, I'm going.

Maier: Er, not quite.
	You made a pit stop at a rest area near Wilsede on the way here, didn't you?

 - Page 101 -

Adolf: If it's about the cleaning bot that was destroyed...

Maier: Er, not that either...
	The security cameras at the rest stop picked up a suspicious-looking man.
	After a thorough check, he seems to be a member of this anti-robot group that's after you.
	They've got a good grasp on where you are.
	We're going to have to move you to a different location.

Adolf: Oh... very well.

Robot: Inspector Maier, Gesicht has returned!!

Maier: What?!
	How can you leave your post like that, Gesicht?! What's gotten into you?!

 - Page 102 -

Gesicht: My apologies, sir.

Maier: It is UNTHINKABLE for a robot to do something like this!!
	I'm going to report this, make no mistake!!
	But for now...

Gesicht: I heard your conversation. We'll get moving immediately.
	Let's go, Mr. Haas.

Adolf: You abandoned your duty...

 - Page 103 -


Adolf: That other time, you ignored your duty, too...
	And you killed my...

Gesicht: My duty this time...
	Is to protect your life.
	(shff)

Hans: Hey, which way are the bad guys gonna come from?

Ilsa: Don't be foolish. Sit straight in your seat, Hans.

Hans: I guess it doesn't matter which way they come from.
	We've got Gesicht with us!!

Gesicht: We've got a police car following up the rear. Don't worry about any of that, Hans.

Hans: But what happens if bad guys DO come?
	Does your arm become like a machine gun or something?

Ilsa: Hans!!

Hans: But at school they told us robots can't shoot people. Right?
	How do you beat the bad guys?

 - Page 106 -

Adolf: He'll shoot 'em, when the time really comes.
	Won't you?

Ilsa: Now stop that, Honey...

Gesicht: Hm...?

Adolf: C'mon, look forward while you drive.

Gesicht: The car to our rear...

Hans: I don't see the inspector's car.

Gesicht: The signal got cut off...!!

 - Page 107 -

Ilsa: What does that mean...?

Gesicht: They're coming...

Hans: Bad guys...?!

Gesicht: I'll raise my speed!!
	Put the safety locks on the backseat!!

 - Page 108 -

Hans: Look out! They're picking up speed, too...!!

Ilsa: Aaah!!

Gesicht: The police car disappeared in an instant...
	Which means the weapon they're using is...

Adolf: A mini cluster cannon...
	I'm betting...
	The same type that I got my hands on...

 - Page 109 -

Adolf: Because that would be capable of killing you...
	Save us...
	Please. At least save my wife and son...
	The cleaning bot at the rest stop told me,
	"Kill Gesicht, if you do not wish to lose your family."
	But they have been determined to destroy all of us from the very start.
	So that the truth of their cult does not get out...

 - Page 110 -

Adolf: I HATE you!!
	You killed my brother...
	So I...
	I wanted to kill YOU!!
	That's hatred...
	You understand how that works...
	You couldn't have killed my brother that way if you hadn't hated him...
	Even a robot like you,
	understands hatred...

 - Page 111 -

Adolf: But this is a problem between us brothers and you!!
	My wife and son have nothing to do with it!!
	Please, just rescue my family!!

Gesicht: Grab the lever on your right.

Adolf: Huh...?

Gesicht: The lever on your right...

 - Page 112 -

Gesicht: Hans! Ma'am!!

 - Page 113 -

Adolf: Aagh!!
	HANS! ILSAAA!!

 - Page 114 -

Bag: (psshhhhh)

Adolf: Grah!! Hans, Ilsa!!
	Hans!!
	Ilsa!!

 - Page 115 -

Man: I only need a regular handgun to kill you...
	But the leader's orders stand.
	This was all your work.
	You simply died when you were caught in the cluster cannon's blast.
	That's all.
	(chk)

 - Page 116 -

Gesicht: (tmp...)
	Drop your weapon.

Man: Well well, the robot cop.
	You can't shoot me with that arm of yours, can you? I'm a human.
	You can't kill humans, can you?
	One step closer, and I'll blow him away.

Gesicht: Mr. Haas, come toward me, SLOWLY...
	Get behind me, very slowly...

 - Page 117 -

Man: Heheheh... Just how I want it.
	This cluster cannon'll blow both of you to bits, easily.
	Zeronium alloy body or not.
	The two of you
	will cease to exist.

Gesicht: TAKE COVER!!

Adolf: Aaah!!

 - Page 118 -

Adolf: Aaaahh!!

Suit: (rip...)(rip...)(rip)

 - Page 119 -

Man: Wha...

Gesicht: (pop pop)(pop pop)
	(shff...)
	(chkk)

 - Page 120 -

Gesicht: I can shoot sleeping gas out of my left hand.
	I can read you your rights and take you in peacefully, or you can go unconscious from the gas...
	Which will it be? Speak up or hold your peace!

 - Page 121 -

Adolf: Gesicht...
	My brother... He was the worst scum you could imagine...
	And yet, even after I'd tried to kill you...
	You still shielded me with your body...

Gesicht: It was my duty...

Adolf: Gesicht...

Gesicht: I have a question for you...
	Does human hatred disappear...?

 - Page 122 -

Gesicht: Is it something that never disappears, no matter how often you delete it?
	The thing I was most afraid of...
	Was me myself,
	for embracing hatred.
