We did not catch anything in the end - we have no luck, father.

Nothing to do about it, son - shows what "fishermen" we are.

Mother is with us today, we won't even be able to buy some.

Do you remember the last time,

You know, mother understood what we are up to a long time ago

Last time she told me: "I don't want to upset father,

but I can buy the fish in the shop myself. "

You see, mother forgives you everything.

Hei, already started making fun of your father!?

A-ha, first you tell me you like jokes, and then what...

Ah, two against one!

Be quiet, Jack!

You got entrusted with the bag, so mind your business!

- Did you see that, father? - Yeah.

Look! Where is the driver?

Who knows? Probably fell from the cliff?

Oh, this is mister Kuroshio!

Kuroshio? Is he the president of your firm

and many other various companies?

Yes, that's him.

Oh, but he is the boss?!

I don't think we'll be able to move him down from here

You know, let's try to get him up to the road.

Yeah, let's.

Wife, take the boat to the harbour and

tell the police about the crash, understood?

Understood.

You don't think it will be heavy for you?

Not a bit. Don't worry about me.

Don't drop him.

Most probably his wife was driving.

Oh, it started raining.

The rain was all we needed now.

We cannot leave them on the road.

Maybe we should carry them to that place.

What? To the Haunted House?

Stop saying stupid things!

Madam!

A ghost!

A ghost? Where?

Excuse me, please, but I am so scared!

We were driving and then to our horror a skeleton appeared before us.

Hm! A skeleton? But that's impossible!

Wonder what he forgot on the road?

Hold your tongue!

Madam, we need someplace to sit out the rain.

So you want to go there anyway.

Jack, remember, you don't believe in ghosts!

You are a brave dog.

Hello. Hei! He-ei!!

Look - ravens.

And how many!

They don't bother me.

However, it's moist here. I shall go look for some firewood.

What? What do you want?

Are you scared, Jack?

Do you want to go with me?

And I praised you, saying you are a brave dog!

Madam, but you are completely soaked.

Yeah.

I shall find something for you to change to.

Oh, it's only a mirror.

Ah, light!

My father is probably in there.

What are you doing here, father?

Don't you hear me?

You said your father was in there,

but it was him again - the one from the road!

But I know that it's only fables!

Ghosts... Skeletons... We must have been imagining things!

These were hard to find. Now we'll make a fire.

What happened to you?

Madam and I, we... we saw that ghost!

The one that was on TV. From the Ghost Ship.

What bosh are you saying?

Oh, yes, we really saw a skeleton.

He was in a sea Captain's uniform.

Excuse me, Madam, but that's nonsense.

But that's true!

Stop talking. Let us better make a fire.

Well, you see, he has come around.

I am here. I am with you.

An who is he?

Me? Mister president, I work for your company.

Engineer Arashiyama. I work at the dockyard.

If it was not for this mister, we would have been dead.

Much obliged.

The last candle is finished.

That was unfortunate.

There is still light from the fire. Then someone will come for us.

Who is there?!

Who are you? What do you want?

I am the master of this house.

I was cowardly murdered ten years ago.

Look!

I was poisoned. My wife and child were lured to a ship,

then they set fire to it and sunk it.

Everyone thought it was an accident.

The culprit was never punished!

He is alive and thriving.

But we did not vanish without a trace!

Our righteous anger - The Ghost Ship - still lives in this world!

And it will not disappear until our murderer is punished.

You are a brave boy.

I see we will be disturbed.

Excuse me, but I must leave you. Until our next meeting...

Ah, it went well this time.

Hm-hm, mister Kuroshio.

Haniwa, thank you for coming!

I came as soon as I heard.

Thanks again.

HE was here, just now, not a minute ago.

What, Captain's ghost in this house?!

Do you know who that man is? He is the chief of defence.

Yes? Look how much ado about nothing.

How many important people came here.

Hello, father.

This mister Kuroshio almost died of fright.

How could he not be frightened when Ghost Captain himself -

he, who sunk so many ships - showed up before him.

Many of those ships belonged to mister Kuroshio.

He suffered heavy financial losses.

And so what? He is so rich. He has so many companies, firms, enterprises.

Hm. Now you drink "Boa Juice", and there is its advertisement.

It is also sold in our country by a Mister Kuroshio's company.

Well, it's a very tasty drink.

But if mum finds that I drink it, I'll never hear an en of it!

And why is that?

Mum says...

...that it's bad for my health.

She is most probably right. How many bottle do you drink a day?

That is my secret.

As soon as I drink 1000 bottles, "Boa Juice" will invite me

to complete an underwater journey.

Even an underwater one?

Yes, I'll have to present 1000 corks and then draw a lot.

Ok. Now, how long have we been standing here?!

Only a couple of blocks to home.

Would have been there by now on foot.

Oi, look, tanks!

Give way! Out of the way!

I am the messenger of the Ghost Ship.

I bring you death and destruction.

I am a Giant Robot, or simply GiRo.

I am GiRo, the messenger of the Ghost Ship! Behold my might!

Father, what happened to you?

I'll take you to the hospital. Let's go!

Not to the hospital. Let's go home, it is nearby.

Father, just a little bit more. We are already at home.

Mother! Father is wounded!

Come here quickly!

Damn that GiRo, it's his fault!

Where are you?

Mother!

My dear mother!

Jack, what are you doing there?

Dear mommy!

My dear mommy... Why did you die?!

Why did you leave me?

Hayato.

My poor boy. I do not have long to live, either.

Father!

Listen, Hayato. I am guilty. I am very guilty before you.

I kept a secret. I did not tell you, my boy, that you are not our son.

Me!

Once, ten years ago, a piece of driftwood was washed ashore.

I came over and saw that a little boy was tied to the plank.

His eyes were shut and he was barely breathing.

Around his neck he wore a small medallion with a photograph inside it.

Hayato, unclasp the band of your wristwatch.

You will find it there. It has an inscription on the back, saying

"Our Hayato is 3 years old. "

Those two are your real parents.

I can't believe it. I can't believe it!

That can't be true!

No, my dear son, that is the truth.

Father!

Don't die!

They were so kind. They loved my like their own son.

And now I am alone.

Alone in the whole world.

Jack, you are the only one I have now.
