				Yakumo
 Pai!  Where are you?!

				Yakumo
 Hang on, Pai!

				Yakumo
 Guess I shouldn't be surprised...

				Yakumo
 They waited for us!

				Pai
 THAT'S why I like humans!

				Title
 Wandering

				Yakumo
 It's been two weeks since we got back the Statue of Humanity...

				Yakumo
 We got settled in at Miss Huan's place, and the days passed by pretty leisurely...  

				Steve
 At this rate, this thing'll take some time to analyze...
Ling-Ling The power to make a Sanjiyan human, huh...
Ling-Ling I wonder where it could be hidden in such a small statue...

				Yakumo
 Hey, Miss Huan!  We're goin' shopping for a while!

				Meishin
 I'm comin', too!

				Pai
 You, too, Meishin?

				Meishin
 Yeah -- you guys don't know Hong Kong too well, ya know...  I'll show ya around.

				Yakumo
 ...'n after all the trouble I went to...

				Meishin
 Huh?  You say somethin'?

				Yakumo
 Never mind...

				Meishin
 OK, let's go!

				Pai
 Let's go!

				Huan
 The Sanjiyan and Uu...  Keeping them within reach should come in handy, someday...

				Huan
 If, by any chance, Lord Kaiyanwan can't be resurrected,

				Huan
 we'll just make that girl into a second Kaiyanwan...

				Pai
 Some kippers might be good...!

				Yakumo
 Don't run off!   You'll get lost!

				Yakumo
 Hopeless...

				Meishin
 Hey, Yakumo...

				Meishin
 If you become human again, what're you gonna do...?

				Yakumo
 Whaddya mean?

				Meishin
 You gonna go back to Japan?

				Yakumo
 Yeah...  Of course...

				Meishin
 You're going back...?

				Pai
 Pretty fresh...!

				Yakumo
 Pai...  What's Pai gonna do?

				Yakumo
 If she gets turned into a human...  she's gonna go back to Tibet, won't she...?

				Yakumo
 Unless I stop her...

				Yakumo
 Pai!  Come live with me in Japan!

				Pai
 I'm so happy, Yakumo!  You're great!

				Yakumo
 GOTCHA!

				Yakumo
 Just kiddin'...

				Meishin
 You OK?

				Yakumo
 Ow.

				Meishin
 You're supposed to be an Uu, you reckless bastard!


				Yakumo
 Hey, Pai!  Find something?

				Yakumo
 Pai!  What's wrong?!

				Yakumo
 Wait!

				Benares
 You have something to say to me, boy?

				Yakumo
 There's another Uu...?

				Benares
 It'd be embarrassing to be mistaken for you.

				Yakumo
 WHAT'D you say?!

				Benares
 Give me the Statue of Humanity.  It belongs to US.

				Yakumo
 The... Statue of Humanity...?

				Pai
 I'll never hand over that statue!

				Pai
 Benares --  even if it means giving my life, I'll make sure Kaiyanwan's never brought back...

				Benares
 Very well.  We'll meet again, sooner or later.

				Yakumo
 That guy's Kaiyanwan's Uu?  Right?

				Pai
 Yakumo!  What happened?!  How'd you get hurt?!

				Yakumo
 This's gettin' old...
Ling-Ling What's the matter, Yakumo?  Not feeling well?
Ling-Ling It's kinda weird, when you stop to think about it...  You and Pai, I mean...
Ling-Ling Why's Pai want to become human?  Are they all that great?

				Yakumo
 If you gave up being human, Ling-Ling, you'd understand how she feels...
Ling-Ling Get turned into an Uu, you mean?  I dunno -- it might be cool to be able to live through all that!

				Meishin
 Hey, Yakumo!

				Meishin
 It's almost time for my brother's Get Well party!

				Yakumo
 Yeah, guess you're right...

				Yakumo
 I'll be there before it starts.

				Meishin
 Guess I can still try telling him later...

				Yakumo
 We're both Uus, but, Christ, what a difference...

				Meishin
 Not too shabby, if I say so m'self...

				Meishin
 Now, for some shoes...



				Huan
 What?!


				Steve
 Look out!


				Pai
 Had to find a pair of hands to use, huh, demon?





				Pai
 You aren't Takuhi.  Who are you?

				Benares
 Bring the Statue of Humanity to Aberdeen by tomorrow morning...   ALONE.

				Pai
 And then, you're going to kill me?

				Benares
 I won't KILL you -- I'll just put you to sleep.  I guarantee you your life.

				Benares
 If Kaiyanwan is reborn, I'll awaken you from your sleep.

				Pai
 Do you seriously expect me to believe that SAP?

				Benares
 You're looking lively, boy.

				Yakumo
 YOU?  YOU made Meishin steal the statue?!

				Benares
 That was just a demonstration.

				Yakumo
 What?!

				Benares
 Listen -- if you don't want your friends in this mansion

				Benares
 to wind up like THIS, you'll do as you're told...

				Benares
 Think about what's happened here tonight.

				Yakumo
 Could you tell me what's going on?  About the Uus?  About Kaiyanwan?

				Pai
 Long ago, there was an evil Sanjiyan who wanted to rule this world.

				Pai
 Those of my clan tried to dissuade him...

				Pai
 He saw this as an act of hostility.  They were massacred.

				Pai
 With that Uu, Benares, serving Kaiyanwan, they didn't stand a chance.

				Pai
 It was Hell on Earth...

				Pai
 Finally, the survivors of my clan decided to seal him up in the Holy Land.

				Pai
 They risked their lives...

				Pai
 When I came to, I was the only one left...

				Pai
 That's all I know.

				Yakumo
 That's what happened 300 years ago?

				Pai
 I thought that had ended it...

				Pai
 Let's fight him, Yakumo!

				Pai
 There's no safe way out of this.  Will we kill Benares, or will he kill US?  

				Pai
 You're my Uu -- show me what you've got!  Get ready!

				Yakumo
 You OK?

				Meishin
 Somehow...

				Yakumo
 Are you gonna cancel the party?

				Steve
 It'd cause Miss Huan some trouble, since she's gotten everything ready, but after what happened today...

				Meishin
 No.  We went to a lot of trouble to set up your Get Well party -- I want to go through with it... 

				Meishin
 I can't just sit around like this...

				Meishin
 They say Pai saved me...

				Meishin
 Try to take care of her.

				Yakumo
 Yeah -- that's what I plan to do.
Ling-Ling And, without further ado, let me, Assistant Editor Ling-Ling Lee, lead the toast!
Ling-Ling To the complete recovery of Hong Kong's greatest mysticist, Steve Lon!  Cheers!

				Minna
 Cheers!

				Steve
 Thanks, everybody.

				Steve
 Next time, I want to be the one who throws Pai a party when she becomes human...!

				Meishin
 And I'LL be one one who'll handle the toasts!

				Pai
 There's no safe way out of this.  Will we kill Benares, or will he kill US?

				Yakumo
 Is there any chance of us winning?  If we lose...

				Pai
 There's nothing on it...

				Meishin
 It'll show up in a second...  See!

				Pai
 Wow!  It's Pai and Yakumo!

				Pai
 Look!  Look!  See?

				Steve
 They're good together.  Those two were made for each other.
Ling-Ling Yeah, I really want to make Pai human...

				Pai
 It's us!  It's us!

				Yakumo
 We've gotta win this, no matter what...

				Yakumo
 It'll be our last fight...

				Yakumo
 If we win, we'll become human.  Then Pai and I can...

				Pai
 What's wrong?  What're you thinking about, Yakumo?

				Yakumo
 I...  If I become human again, I'm gonna go back to Japan.

				Pai
 You're leaving, Yakumo?

				Yakumo
 Yeah.  W..will you come with me, Pai?  I..

				Yakumo
 I um... Uh... I lo...

				Pai
 Once we're human.

				Yakumo
 I...

				Pai
 Once we're human...
Ling-Ling C'mon...  Yer immortal...!  Stick around fer a bit, 'n we can make some money fightin' monsters!

				Yakumo
 No way...!  I'm gonna be HUMAN soon...!

				Huan
 You're sure in a good mood, Yakumo...  What happened?

				Yakumo
 Issa secret!

				Meishin
 Huh?  Where's Pai?

				Yakumo
 She was over there a second ago...  Weird...

				Yakumo
 Maybe she went back to her room...

				Pai
 Yakumo...  Everybody...  Pai's gonna go kill Benares -- she's gonna come back...

				Pai
 You've been thinking about him, haven't you, Pai?

				Pai
 Takuhi's soul told me about him...

				Pai
 It'd be stupid to go alone.

				Pai
 Yakumo, Ling-Ling, and Meishin are all my pals...  I don't want to cause them any more trouble.

				Pai
 But...!

				Pai
 If it's for everybody -- for Yakumo -- Pai'll risk her life...

				Pai
 But...

				Pai
 You might not know this, but if this body is destroyed, Yakumo will die, too...

				Pai
 No...  Never mind...

				Pai
 Let's go!   Let's kill Benares!  We'll make it back!

				Pai
 Back to Yakumo...

				Yakumo
 Why'd you do it?  Why'd you leave without telling me?

				Yakumo
 Let me make it in time!

				Yakumo
 Lemme make it in time!

				Yakumo
 Lemme make it there in time!
Ling-Ling What IS that?

				Meishin
 Looks like it's coming from Aberdeen...

				Yakumo
 Pai never come back.

				Yakumo
 But, if I'M still alive, that means Pai's gotta be, too!

				Yakumo
 This time, I'M doing the searching...

				Yakumo
 No matter how many years it takes...

				Yakumo
 And then...

				Yakumo
 And then, together, we'll become human!
