38:28 Yeah, the photo just, like, transparently having chronicle there in the background. I mean, they've been hinting at it for a while. The show isn't being particularly subtle about it, although they do this bit of, oh, Maria is the most common name in the world. Just because I have an Aunt Maria doesn't mean that. That's Maria Armonia, leader of the Yellow.
00:54 But I will be recording the parts she usually does. Starting with the recap wakes up pan hunting and sweating from a nightmare about the guillotine. Shockedy wakes when he does, and surrounded by the still sleeping members of their ragtag band, the two decide to sneak away back to Cassarelia. But Marbat and Romero were still awake, and they spot the two kids creeping toward the back of the cameillon. The two adults try every argument they can think of to convince USO to stay, but to USO, these are just more rationalizations, a pretext to make him fight for them without any concern for what he wants. Insisting that he and Shakti have things they need to do, Uso takes a whoppa and heads for home, Shakti and Carlman riding on the back at the best base. Farah Griffin has been ordered back to space to face a military tribunal, and Dupre has been promoted in her place. Although Chronicle wants another shot at the Gundam, Pippiniden maintains that Chronicle's capture of a league military leader more than demonstrates his competence, and that Pippiniden's own troops have a score to settle with the white mobile suit. In the meantime, depray wants chronicle to escort Farah Griffin and some damaged mobile suits to the privately owned neutral mass driver at Gibraltar. He expects the public corporation there will refuse to allow chronicle through, giving Bespa the pretext they need to take control of the mass driver themselves, a feat that even Xeon could not achieve during the one year war. Settling back in at Shockti's house, Uso moves a book and several photos fall out onto the floor. One shows a woman sitting at the cabin's dining room table holding toddler Shakti, while a young man who looks remarkably like Chronicle leans against the fireplace behind her. Oh, that's my aunt Maria, Shakti tells him, although when Uso exclaims that she looks just like Maria Armonia, the leader of the Yellow Jackets Shakti is quick to point out that Maria is actually the most common name in the world. Just outside, haro chirps and Flanders barks as flashes of light and distant explosions come off the distant mountainside. That's where the kameon was headed, Uso realizes, telling Shakti to stay here, that he'll be back soon. USO races off to warn the league militaire of the incoming attack. In spite of his fear and his worries for Shakti, he knows that Zanskar needs to be stopped. Pippiniden and his squad find the league militair cameon in the ruins of an old city with her legs still healing and very little experience with the Gundam so far. Marbette struggles against the superior enemy force, but she fights on, determined to demonstrate her own skill. After a hit knocks the Gundam's right arm offline, she takes cover in the ruins only for a bespo mobile suit to burst through the concrete wall behind her, wrapping the Gundam in an inescapable bear hug. Inescapable until the Gundam disconnects the hangar part. The rest of the mobile suit jets away, leaving the Tomliat pilot deeply confused for a moment before they drop the hangar and pursue. This is the moment when Uso arrives. Parachuting in, he lands almost on top of the corps fighter, and Marbette flies them into the woods so that he can take her place in the cockpit. By the time he gets back to the hangar and reforms the complete victory Gundam, he is surrounded. Flashing back to his nightmare, he wonders if this is it, but he gets away from them somehow and comes up with a plan. When one of them comes up behind him, some sense or instinct makes him turn around. Time seems to slow, and he kicks the enemy into the river before they can hit him. The Bespa pilot struggles to write their mobile suit, but before they can get away, Uso's shots bring one of the nearby ruined buildings down on top of them. Uso flies out of the cloud of mist and dust, destroying another enemy mobile suit. Before they can react. Pippiniden's group recovers quickly, and just like Marbette, Uso finds his mobile suit trapped in a hug. They intend to capture him and take the Gundam back to their base. With perfect timing, another core fighter arrives, distracting the enemy just enough that they loosen their grip, allowing Uso to turn and destroy yet another Tomliat. Having lost their overwhelming advantage in numbers, Pippiniden orders his remaining mobile suits to retrieve the escape pods and retreat. After the battle, Uso has to be pulled free from his cockpit, he seems feverish and has fainted. In his delirium, he has another nightmare. This time, the guillotine looms over him. Then he sees Shakti fall away screaming. But he wakes in peaceful, idyllic woods, surrounded by smiling, familiar faces.
