Ling Cage (2019) s01e01 Episode Script

1
No matter what difficulties and challenges we have to confront,
as a community facing the same fate,
all humans should abandon prejudice and unite,
and steel ourselves for the long river of time.
Everything is flourishing
the memories awaken
Who is listening attentively?
The floating dust
finally settled
The illusions that appear
all disappear
Don't continue to be silent
Don't retreat anymore
Be as persistent as before
This world has changed
Ready to bathe in your own flame
Ready to be reduced to ashes
Human natures
Human natures are what we can only
count on
LING
CAGE
Captain Marc, this is Hunter Jeff, come in.
Team 2 has reached the entrance of District B.
Captain Marc, this is Jeff, come in.
Do you read me?
Hello?
This damn weather!
Be careful.
Keep up.
The ash bodies here are too cramped together.
They look like they formed from instant radioactive decay.
What on earth happened here?
This should be an immigrant spaceship
of the old world which was preparing to escape the earth.
When the calamity occurred,
they didn't even get the chance to take off.
If this spaceship can be repaired,
we can leave this damn place.
In your dreams.
There isn't a single person alive on the ground now,
where are you going to send it for repairs?
It's said that in the old world,
people could be this intimate as long as they're willing.
That's just a corrupt practice of the old era.
Captain Marc, this is Hunter Team 2, come in.
This is Team 1, go ahead.
I'm Marc.
Finally got through!
Team 2 has reached District B.
How's the situation over there, Captain?
The entrance we used collapsed,
we're now searching for an exit.
Stand by, Team Two.
Roger that.
Pay attention, you Inferiors.
Any damaged supplies
will be compensated for using your service points.
Did you not understand what I just said?
Yes, yes, yes, we understand.
Yet another storage cabin.
What sort of people were on this spaceship?
Wealthy and respectable people.
Mo Cheng.
This is it, it's still usable.
What the hell is this?
It's a shell shed by a large extremozoan.
Only when molting
will they release a large amount of guiding pheromones,
then they take their prey's life force for their own usage.
This thing can't still be close by, right?
Looks like it molted a long time ago.
Excuse me.
Anyone there?
Looking for people to give you a treat? Seriously!
Anybody there?
Ran Bing!
Have you had enough fun?
How boring.
Are you looking to die?
I've inspected it.
It left by heading upwards.
No spinal centipedes detected for now.
The room is safe.
I'll let this device decide if the room is safe.
The magnetic field of this thing is too strong,
the detector isn't working properly.
See if we can salvage anything.
Tell the laborers to keep a distance from the ash bodies.
Understood.
Team 1, start work. Make haste.
Hurry up!
Inferiors are also people,
tell them not to go too far.
Yes sir.
Captain, there's a situation here.
Roger that, I'm coming over.
Be careful.
Look at this, is it actually dead or alive?
Will it suddenly jump up and bite us?
What's the situation?
Captain, look,
something's not right.
Hurry, hurry.
Looks like we'll earn quite a few service points this time.
This small amount of service points
is not even as much as the ones holding guns are getting.
Keep your voice down.
Get off me!
It's because of our problematic genes.
They are Superiors.
Getting to earn some points is pretty good already.
Also, gathering supplies with Captain Marc is the safest.
It took me a lot
of effort to get this assignment.
4068,
what are you doing?
This spaceship crashed a long time ago,
but these claw marks are new.
Could it be that the extremozoan didn't go very far after molting?
These marks don't look the same as the molted one.
They're probably not the same species.
What is it, Captain?
Quiet.
Do you want to die?
Keep your voice down.
What are you yelling for?
This is pretty exquisite.
This item from the old world
can be exchanged for a lot of service points on the black market.
Who said I'm going to exchange it for service points?
4277 loves this sort of little things.
She'll definitely like this.
They say the Bishop also likes antiques from the old world.
If I were you,
I'll present this to him.
If he's pleased enough,
he might reward me with a Superior status.
Don't talk nonsense,
I've never heard of an Inferior becoming a Superior.
What What was that?
Don't worry, it's nothing.
It gave me a fright.
4068!
Get it off me! Get it off me!
What?
Why is there a spinal centipede?
Move aside.
Move aside, all of you!
Get it off!
Don't shoot, don't shoot!
Help me!
‫3352
Who is firing?
Penny, what's the situation in the rear?
Respond if you heard me.
Penny, Penny.
Mo Cheng, pry open the cabin door right away,
arrange for the team to evacuate.
Yes sir.
Ran Bing-
I'm going with you.
Can you get things done without me?
You and you,
pry open the door now.
What are you doing?
The spinal centipede was on their bodies, I was afraid that
The lives of two Inferiors
are worthless.
Why should you be worried?
Not good, it's a swarm of spinal centipedes.
Bastards.
The scarlet pheromone is spreading.
Watch out, Donny.
How can the ash bodies
The ash bodies
The ash bodies have come to life.
Die! Die!
Donny, come out.
Run!
I don't want to die here.
What's going on?
What on earth happened in front?
It's a swarm of spinal centipedes.
Open fire!
Fall back to the cabin door.
Hurry.
The effective way to kill one, is to sever the main nerve under its hard shell.
Spinal centipedes have no sense of pain.
When under attack from many spinal centipedes, do not use flamethrowers.
Flamethrowers cannot instantly kill them. Spinal centipedes on fire will cause
more severe injuries.
Get down.
Help!
Help!
Be careful.
Easy, easy!
Run!
Run!
Behind us, they're all behind us!
Captain!
Penny, what happened?
We startled a swarm of spinal centipedes.
The scarlet pheromone is spreading out.
Tell the captain to evacuate,
I'll bring up the rear.
Donny, can you hear me?
Donny.
Donny
Penny.
Stay away.
A shell!
It's just a shell!
He has been completely contaminated with the scarlet pheromone.
I see it!
I see it all!
He can't be saved.
Donny,
come to your senses.
Penny.
What have I done?
What have I done!
Donny.
What have I done
They stopped releasing the scarlet pheromone.
Kill me.
Kill me quick.
What?
Otherwise, it'll be too late.
I see it.
I see it.
A shell.
It's only a shell.
We're all trapped here.
Whatever you do is futile!
Let me go!
Not good.
Hurry up!
Yes sir!
All members, prepare to evacuate!
The ones in front, get the door open now!
It still doesn't work.
It won't open.
Don't waste time!
Think of a way!
Let me do it.
Above you.
Lighthouse Master.
My Lord,
the power source for the Lighthouse can only last for at most 10 days,
if Marc still doesn't return
Enough.
You're still impatient as always.
Yes.
Contact the Navigation Control Room.
As you command.
The turbulence is getting stronger.
Weather front is extending ahead, vertical wind speeds are irregular.
The center of the storm is still approaching.
An evasive route for the Lighthouse is being plotted.
Roger that.
Propulsion systems are stable.
Power output of all engines normal.
Initiate thrust.
Ignite the fifth and sixth thrusters separately.
Lower the altitude of the Lighthouse.
Alter the ship's direction by 15 degrees.
Bring up the planar map of the resource region.
We have an incoming call from the Central Command Office on line one.
Lighthouse Master.
Jing Nan,
any word from the Hunters?
My Lord,
the Hunters
are still outside the detection range of the Lighthouse.
Besides that, a sandstorm is approaching the Lighthouse.
Should we
Wait a little longer.
Marc will definitely return.
Yes, my Lord.
He will definitely return.
We'll do this together.
Bring the supplies,
move out now!
Hurry, hurry!
Captain!
Don't come here!
Go now!
These extremozoans never move alone.
If this goes on, no one will escape.
If we'll all die here then what will happen to the supplies.
But
you and Ran Bing
Go now!
This is an order!
Come on, you bastard!
Let's go.
Ran Bing,
hurry!
Located at the southern end of the western Gobi Desert in the Australia-Asia new continent, code name R-49.
Marked as a resource point for "Survival Supplies".
Signs of extremozoan activity can be seen all over the interior of the spaceship.
Hunter Theatrette
(Ad) This content is not connected to the main storyline
At that time, humans were living in an apocalyptic world ravaged by a virus.
The infected wantonly attack humans
and many survivors fell into despair.
They could only apathetically wait for death.
But I'm different.
I'm willing to be inspired,
this allows me to feel like a living person.
Why isn't it dead yet?
Don't come any closer, don't come any closer!
A novice.
Stand aside.
Everyday, I've to save one or two novices who overestimated themselves.
Although it's very troublesome, this is my job.
Hey.
Of course, I often face life-threatening situations in this job.
During such situations, you need to know the way to survive an apocalypse
and that is to
Run!
Sorry for the disturbance, I'm leaving.
Wait for me, hero.
Novice, if you survive, look for me from tomorrow onwards.
Tomorrow Onwards
Human survival in a virus apocalypse - handphone game
All living beings are born from the light, all living beings follow the shadow.
The light cleanses my soul, the shadow protects my body.
Curb desires with principle, do not indulge in the excessive.
We rather destroy our bodies than abandon light and shadow.
A long time ago,
we thought we could surpass the gods
yet brought about the apocalypse.
It was the Lord of Light and Shadow who saved us
by bringing us to the Lighthouse.
Under the protection of the Lord of Light and Shadow,
we managed to survive in this devastated
world where monsters run rampant.
Without the help of the Lord,
everything is just a lie!
The cold instruments of war
cannot enable the Hunters to fully destroy those savage monsters,
let alone bring us hope of victory.
We can only piously beg the almighty Lord of Light and Shadow
to safely and perfectly bring the resources for survival to us.
All living beings are born from the light, all living beings follow the shadow.
The Lord of Light and Shadow tells us
that people are all sufferers nailed to the walls of the cave.
Thus, here I am.
Everything that we see
are shadows projected down from the wall.
Thus, here I am.
Only by freeing ourselves from these fetters and walking out of the cave
will we see the truth!
Thus, here I am.
Tell me, my children,
for the sake of stepping out of the dark cave,
what have you done?
Greatness comes from giving.
My Lord Bishop,
this is the third time
I have completed my sacred mission at the Dawn Hall in five years.
The Lord of Light and Shadow shall honor you.
You should feel proud of yourself.
Thus, here I am.
Normal Fluctuating Dangerous Fallen Abyss

What about you?
My Lord Bishop,
today, I brutally taught an old man a lesson
for attempting to restore our father-son relationship,
then I sent him to the Disciplinary Institute.
You did very well.
Follow the arrangements of the Lord of Light and Shadow,
forsake the familial relationships of the old world,
use your actions to welcome a better world.

The Lord will know of every single effort you make.
Venerable Bishop.
Stop there!
Why is there an Inferior here?
How did an Inferior sneak in?
What right does she have to be here?
Exactly.
Regardless of whether you are a Superior or an Inferior,
as long as you make a reasonable wish at this congregation,
the Lord of Light and Shadow will definitely help you.
Tell everyone your number.
I wish for the Lord of Light and Shadow to help a devout Superior follower
have a suitable heart transplant.
In order to save me,
he was pierced in the chest with a steel needle.
But I am really curious,
how did a Superior and an Inferior such as yourself
have such an intimate relationship to the extent of wanting to save each other?
In Year 30,
before the three main laws were enacted in
the Lighthouse, we were husband and wife.
I see.
But from what I know,
the Lighthouse doesn't have anymore human organs that can be used for transplants.
But-
Are you hoping that one of the followers here
will be willing to offer their heart to him?
No, no, no, that is not what I mean.
Then
I was hoping that,
if the Lord of Light and Shadow would allow it,
I am willing to give my heart to him.
Your heart?
It has been 20 years since the three main survival laws were enacted.
Among them, our most important task is to optimize our genes
so that the Lighthouse will function even better in the future.
From my perspective, your request to transplant your heart to him
is absolutely preposterous!
Your innate gene defects made you an Inferior with no right to reproduce.
If I agree to this transplant,
that means that pitiful Superior
will be receiving your heart as well as your defects.
My Lord Bishop,
don't tell me the Lord of Light and Shadow will indifferently watch a Superior die?
1225,
please trust that
the Lord of Light and Shadow
would rather have the Superior die with dignity
than see the heart of an Inferior
beating inside him.
What dignity is there in death?!
Fellow devotees.
A low-class heart can save a Superior.
But should this Superior live in humiliation
or die with honor and glory?
Let him die!
Let him die!
Let him die!
Let him die!
You monster!
You all are a bunch of monsters!
Let us continue to pray for the squad of Hunters.
Ma'am,
the sa.ndstorm is closing in on the Lighthouse
Lighthouse, come in.
Hunters
Sound Acquisition
Sound Acquisition
Navigation Control Room.
This is the Hunters.
Incoming at 4 o'clock,
switch the frequency range.
Understood.
Increase power to our communication systems.
Hunters
Sound Acquisition
Do you read me?
This is the Lighthouse.
Captain, is that you?
This is the Hunters,
we've completed our gathering mission.
Requesting to return.
It's Captain Marc.
That's great! - Awesome!
Captain Marc,
welcome back.
Lower the ES01 elevator platform.
Roger that.
It's finally over.
It's been a long time since we returned fully loaded.
This time, I killed another four.
Who would still remember this sort of thing a year later?
That's because you're old.
Silly girl.
Marc.
You also saw what happened just now, right?
This is the greatest discovery made by the Hunters in recent years.
Perhaps,
no one will believe everything that we saw.
When awake, I see the light and dark have changed
Days and days, people whisper and pray
While visions touch your dream
those memories will fade away
Don't be sad, glimmers still remain
There's a chance you are gonna touch the soul
Days and moons, searching for a land of hope
Sufferings will be painless
all miseries will never come
Don't be afraid, everything's the same
When the glory days are gone
only one truth can be trusted
It's time to part
Turning the whole world upside down
couldn't make me feel alive
Don't leave me, flee with me
Only you can break my fall
When awake, I see the light and dark have changed
