The Darwin Incident (ダーウィン事変)

Freeze! Everyone, put your hands up!

This is the Animal Liberation Alliance.

We're occupying this laboratory!

Hey! The hell you think you're doing?

Don't try to resist.

Anyone disobeys, we shoot all of you!

Hey, watch it! What if you hit someone?

- I know. I almost pissed myself. - Idiot!

Go ahead! You're free now!

Listen up, you evil scum!

The ALA is putting a stop to your cruel experiments as of right now!

You got that? We're the ALA.

Hey! Over here!

A chimpanzee?

What did those bastards do to it? Is it injured?

No. She's pregnant. She's having a miscarriage.

Pregnant? But why would they…

At this rate, she and her baby are gonna die.

Do you read me?

The local cops will have been alerted by now. Time to bail out!

What should we do?

Let's get her out of here.

We can't just leave her!

These guys don't give a shit about the state's Animal Protection laws.

All right! We'll get her in the van and take her to the nearest animal hospital.

Hurry!

So, it's definite, then?

Yes. That's the official opinion of the National Academy of Sciences.

They've confirmed it through DNA sequencing

and the latest genome analysis technology.

There's no mistake. This baby is a hybrid born of a human and a chimpanzee.

A "Humanzee."

In 1859,

Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species was published.

This is truer than principles Discovered by geniuses like XY

You are so captivating That I can't take my eyes off you

We are merely beings who are just living

But we are beings unlike any other

You make me wonder

Actors caught in a drama Unaware of the ending

Our "relationship chart" is still blank And it bothers me

We only want to share laughter Yet somehow end up hurting each other

It wasn't supposed to be like this

I wonder what principles or clues Apply to our relationship

A stereo yearning to blend Like left and right

Could it be love? I don't know

Are we at odds? I don't think so

It's a frustrating thing And I can't even tell if it's real

Just how deep is our relationship? Why can't it be measured?

I want to know you I want you to know me

And what's the level of expectation When we get to know each other?

I know nothing else but the long-sought Love, and I want to seek it out

You make me wonder

Just beyond words

You make me wonder

Charlie!

Charlie, where are you? Answer me!

He's probably gone to the "jungle" again. Calm down, Hannah.

Can you hear me? It's time to get going.

Come back and get ready for the day!

Charlie? Can you hear me?

Good morning, Mom, Dad.

Charlie, promise me you won't do this sort of thing at school, okay?

You can't go jumping out of trees!

Why not?

Because normal high schoolers don't, that's why not.

Goodness. Now hurry and go get ready or you'll be late.

What a nice day.

It's the perfect weather for your first day of school.

Guess so.

Are you nervous or something?

No, not really.

EPISODE 1 HUMANZEE

Okay.

Now, don't worry, Charlie, okay?

We've told the school all about you.

You're just going to learn and make friends like a normal student.

It'll be fun.

Yeah. I know, Mom. Like a normal student.

- Have a great day. - I will.

You should just go in with him, if you're that worried.

At least for the first day.

Are you kidding me?

He's 15! He's too old to have his parents hovering over him.

Any normal teenage boy would hate that.

I just hope everything goes okay

this time!

So, this weekend…

Is he…

Wow, that's a first.

Look at him.

Hey, did you guys see? It's Charlie the Humanzee!

He's really here!

He's, like, half chimpanzee and half human, right?

Yeah!

He's the child of a guy called Dr. Grossman and a female chimp.

"Grossman created the Humanzee using genome-editing technology.

He then disappeared immediately following a raid by a radical animal rights group.

His whereabouts currently remain unknown."

There you have it.

- Freaky! - Freaky!

Check out this clip of Charlie meeting the president at the White House!

Wild, right?

This was on the news!

Send me the link!

- Is this seat taken? - No.

Guess the Humanzee uses a laptop too.

He really looks the part.

- There he is. - It's really him.

Did you see Charlie? Kinda cute, don't you think?

Totally! Bet he'd be a hit on Insta.

Why dontcha ask for a selfie with him, then?

You can invite him to the club while you're at it.

Great idea!

- Like, everyone would notice. - Right?

I don't really want to go near him.

Did you know an adult chimp has a grip strength of over 600 pounds?

For real? He doesn't look so tough though.

He's, like, way cuter than a monkey!

- Hey, now. - What's goin' on over there?

- Yo, what's up? - Ozzy.

That Humanzee up in the tree doing acrobatics or somethin'?

- Nah, it's a cat. - A cat?

Aw, a kitty? Where?

See? Up on that branch.

Oh, yeah. There it is! Adorable!

Probably climbed up and got stuck.

Happened to our cat too.

What? That's not good.

It's crying! Poor baby.

They call the fire department or anything?

Not sure.

Oh, yeah! What about calling the TV station? Would they help?

Hey, looks like we got a hero on our hands. Who is that?

I think… it's Lucy.

What? It's a girl?

Hey, that's misogyny.

That nerdy honors student? Think she'll be okay?

- Ain't really her wheelhouse. - You got this!

Yeah, seriously.

You're doing good. Keep it up.

It's scared.

It's okay. Come on, that's it.

- Nice catch! - Nice catch!

- That was amazing, Lucy! - Are you okay?

You've got this, honors student!

Come down nice and slow!

You'd look like a real jackass if you fall now.

I'll pull you up, so don't move.

Okay.

There's no way.

Did you guys see that?

- Unbelievable! - You're kiddin' me.

You're amazing. That was really awesome!

I thought I was gonna have a heart attack!

Thank you.

Here.

I don't think it got scratched up.

Okay.

- Thanks. - I think I got a pretty awesome video.

Lemme see?

He's just leaving.

I'm so glad the kitty cat got down safely.

Guess he really is half-chimpanzee, huh?

No.
