Fate/strange Fake (2024) s01e02 Episode Script

So
what's your name?
If you need a name to call me by,
just call me "Saber."
Saber, you say?
That's quite a classy name.
That sword you had
Which drugstore did you find it in?
If what Francesca told us is correct
that guy would be King Arthur.
But he said he swears to Arthur Pendragon?
Yes.
Swearing to oneself is a strange tale indeed.
What about the girl
that seems to be the Master?
She is honestly answering
the questions we ask.
However, she is quite fatigued
and it seems she has muddled memories
due to hypnotic Magecraft.
Other than the tattoos engraved onto her body
similar to Command Spells,
she is basically an ordinary citizen.
If this girl took the right
to be a Master for herself,
she must be quite a skilled Mage.
Perhaps one that was hastily prepared
and sent by an external faction?
The Einzberns, huh?
There is intel that one of their homunculi
has entered Snowfield.
If so, there is a possibility
that she hasn't had
much information shared with her.
Don't let surveillance drop
from the girl or the Servant.
And, don't forget surveillance on Caster.
We had a request from Sir Caster earlier.
He said, "Let me play in the casino."
Come on, man!
Denied. It'd be asinine
to have a Heroic Spirit
galavanting around a casino
during a Holy Grail War.
All-in on red.
I'm sorry!
A woman who seeks to use me should not cower
before anyone other than me, Tiné Chelc.
Y-Yes.
I am terribly sorry, Sir Gilgamesh.
So, this is the location where people and fortune
come and go the most in this city?
Not bad.
I don't believe this!
This amusement center uses currency
to create its own world for extravagant spending.
World, you say?
I thought I told you.
A child should act as a child
and take in the sights with their eyes shining.
Though, everything about this world
must pale in comparison to me.
Exactly as you say.
But do not have blind faith in me.
If your eyes should shine as such,
you should also use them
to properly ascertain your path.
Which way will you go?
Is regaining this land from those Mages
a decision you have made
or merely the words of a puppet?
I-I am
Ah, well.
So long as my friend is present, I intend
to fully enjoy myself in this Holy Grail War.
If you wish to wield me as a Servant
of your own free will
be prepared to bare
all of what you keep within yourself.
Yes.
All-in on black.
I'll go all-in on black, too.
I just wanted to borrow some of your luck.
Gotta get started on the right track
since I have a big job after this.
Thanks.
I've stocked up on some luck thanks to you.
I'll return this fortune to your garden later
King Gilgamesh.
No need to be so alarmed, young lady.
I see.
You're no ordinary mongrel.
Introduce yourself.
Hansa Cervantes.
I'll be supervising this Holy Grail War.
Pleasure to meet you.
Don't get carried away, you hear?
Indeed, I was getting carried away.
Truly, my spirit soared at being called upon
to such a magnificent stage.
You got carried away and killed a man,
then destroyed the Opera House?
I did not murder that man.
What you need to do is research how much
the repairs on the Opera House shall cost.
If you will let me know, I will reimburse you.
You're telling me a madman like you
has some means to pay the money?
I mean, you can invest in me
as my patron if you'd like.
I'd never forget my gratitude.
I've had enough—
I wouldn't say for free, of course.
I can show you a magic trick.
It's amazing! You'll be surprised!
Huh?
I will now
disappear.
Huh?
He's gone!
Freeze!
Don't move!
I have not moved one step.
Of course, if I wanted to, I could have fled
or taken care of you all easily.
This is my way of demonstrating
my respect for you.
Respect, you say?
I do not intend to stay in your custody.
I only came to prove
that the girl over there is innocent.
I will disappear with the dawn.
Until then, I will comply with your restraints.
Well, it'd be in your best interest to come up
with an excuse for how you let me escape.
If anything, I can help you guys think of one.
It seems he hasn't even a thought
of concealing the Holy Grail War.
Take care of the memories
of the three inside through hypnosis.
Understood.
Chief, you have a visitor.
Who is it?
Well, he's claiming to be a priest from the Church.
Are you a tourist? Where are you from?
Can I assume you're Japanese?
You'd better not be lying.
What did you come here for?
I'm sick of all of this.
You look rather fatigued.
Don't be so surprised.
In my Spiritual Form,
I can walk through walls.
The interrogation is on a break right now,
so I came by to see how you were doing.
I thought I told you
to not meddle in my affairs.
You're not my Master, though, right?
That's right.
I'm not your Master or anything.
That means I do not have to abide
by your orders!
Wha
Which means, I can meddle with you
to my heart's content!
I will be taking care of you,
so brace yourself, okay?
I'm begging you, please leave me alone.
I don't want to be in a Holy Grail War.
Unfortunately, that may not work out.
I think it's because of the spell
planted within your tattoo
but it seems a Magical Energy path
has been connected with you instead of the Mage
that originally had the Command Spells.
Huh?
In other words, we may not be
in a Master-Servant relationship,
but we do share the same fate.
What's with that?
She didn't say anything about that—
Without you, I cannot gain Magical Energy,
so I would have disappeared immediately.
I feel indebted to you.
Thank you.
If you feel indebted,
don't get involved with me.
I decline!
I will look after you!
I will become a venerable busybody!
Cry all you wish in defiance,
but I will save you in myriad ways!
Save me from what?
The other war participants, of course.
Huh?
As I said, I'm not a Master—
Whether you are a Master or not
as long as we are connected
through a path of Magical Energy,
you will naturally become a target.
This is the worst.
Not necessarily.
You're better off like this than being captured
by the enemy and executed, right?
You sure go to extremes.
I hear that a lot.
For now, you can call me "Saber."
HE'S HOPELESS
I feel ashamed to not name myself
to my benefactor.
But I will tell you my True Name in due time
when I see the right opportunity.
Can you let me know, as well?
Why were you in such a location?
What is that tattoo—
No.
I'm terribly sorry.
You should tell me your name first!
Are you Chief Orlando Reeve?
And you are?
Hansa Cervantes.
I am the Overseer dispatched
to Snowfield Central Church.
You understand if I phrase it that way,
don't you, Chief?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
If you're going to feign innocence despite the barrier
you put up all around the police station, that's fine.
It just means there will be no place for you
to escape to after losing your Servant.
That means less work for me,
so it'd be a great help to me.
I already know that you're a rogue
who has nothing to do with the Clock Tower.
On top of that,
you've collected about 30 unnatural personnel
within the police organization.
You're quite something
to have dug up all of that information.
It seems you lot have already failed
at keeping the ritual a secret.
So, is that Servant and his Master here now?
What if I said they were?
They are participants in the Holy Grail War
that the Church has no information about.
If possible, I'd like to get over the greetings now.
Fine.
In any case, this isn't something
to talk about here.
Come with me.
I'll pass.
I have no intention of jumping into the bowels
of a group still shrouded in mystery.
I will acknowledge that caution
but had you not thought that this lobby
would already be within my bowels?
Magecraft to clear out a crowd
How much does the Church know right now?
You have no right to remain silent.
Your statements will never be brought to court.
I think you've watched
a few too many police dramas, Chief.
It's not wise to make the Church your enemy.
I assume I may be no match against you lot,
but bullying someone like me will put a crack
in the relationship between the organizations.
Agreed. I would prefer
the amicable sharing of information.
Don't be threatening a good Samaritan.
I will scream and cry.
Hey, Brother!
Caster? How do you know this number—
You'd better flee
from there right away, Brother.
Either that
or prepare to return fire at full strength!
What?
Somethin' real bad is heading to ya!
Your allies?
My allies would enter
from the front or back door
not from the sky.
They even took out the emergency power supply.
Setting up spells for light sources.
Was that your Servant just now, Chief?
Damn you!
You're overstepping your role as Overseer!
Call it humble resistance against an authority
that has threatened a weak, ordinary citizen.
What was that sound?
Not sure.
It seems like someone unleashed
a Noble Phantasm.
You can use magic, too?
Not magic. Magecraft.
I don't understand the difference.
To begin with,
this isn't something that I created.
Oh, hold on!
Ayaka
First and foremost,
I'm going to take you to a safe location.
Isn't this cell the safest place?
We'll see about that.
It seems there are barriers
set up all over this police station.
"It seems"?
I don't understand what's going on.
Is there a Mage in the police station?
Likely so.
If that vibration was another Servant attacking
Come now.
You should tell me things like that first.
If that were the case, I would've sliced
the door open and left immediately.
Wh-Who are you talking to?
Oh, sorry!
Just consider it as if I'm talking to myself.
On the ceiling of the cell we were just in
there was a spell set up that could kill
the person inside from hypoxia.
Servant
Don't jump in yet! We'll block
the escape path! To your positions!
They're all Noble Phantasms?
You're surprised?
If the standard formula
is for Servants to wield Noble Phantasms
it's the job of an author to destroy that formula.
All general staff have been evacuated.
A bounded field has been activated
to conceal at least some of the commotion.
Skirt the night shadows
SKIRT THE NIGHT SHADOWS
Zabaniya.
Is that
Assassin?
If so
I couldn't ask for more for a touchstone!
Do not fear!
I don't care if you destroy the lobby!
We will suppress her at all costs!
Powers of a heretic
Expose the mirage
EXPOSE THE MIRAGE
Zabaniya!
What did you
They're making the Magic Circuits go haywire?
Chief! Behind you!
Zabaniya!
They have multiple Noble Phantasms, too?
Overflow with agony
Zabaniya!
Chief!
Are you all right?
Yeah.
Surprising.
Your Master must have
quite the stock of Magical Energy.
I have no Master.
What?
I have no intention of serving a Mage, either.
I seek not the Holy Grail.
I will break apart the Holy Grail War
that has led astray my great predecessors!
That's nonsense.
You should be long gone
fighting like that
with no supply of Magical Energy.
Oh, marvelous! Just marvelous!
This mud-slinging brawl is much to my liking!
I don't know what kind of spellwork this is,
but I had thought you were overreaching,
challenging a Heroic Spirit as a mortal.
Yet it actually looks
like you're a pretty good match!
Who are you?
If there is even one Mage among you capable of
determining the characteristics of her Noble Phantasm,
you police may yet gain a chance of victory!
Stay where you are!
However
I can't have you lot fight a good fight
and die off honorably.
John!
What a great scream!
I wonder, if I rip off his other hand,
will his show of pain be even better?
That's enough!
Cease your squealing. How disgusting.
Definitely a masterpiece,
worthy of being called a "Noble Phantasm."
A toy too good for human hands.
I haven't introduced myself!
O my beloved!
My name is Jester Karture.
As your Master, I will affirm
everything about you
and as an inhuman Dead Apostle
DEAD APOSTLE
I will take everything from you.
A Dead Apostle?
A Dead Apostle? We have a Dead Apostle!
A vampire? Seriously?
This is getting even more interesting!
Though
this is a bit bad for my brothers.
Impossible!
Back there, Master
This heart still remembers the feeling
of your palm! Like that of an intense kiss!
It literally took hold of my heart!
I've received Magical Energy
from a monster like this?
Dead Apostle
The enemy
of humanity!
I order you with a Command Spell.
Transport to a location
as far away from this city as possible.
The baton has been passed.
Well, how do I put this
Why don't you just die already,
you bags of blood?
Clan Calatin!
Don't get me wrong.
It's not like I'm more powerful
than a Heroic Spirit.
After all, a Heroic Spirit
is something that affirms human history.
It protects the rules of the human world.
However, we Dead Apostles deny human history.
We've existed in violation of all your rules.
It is simply an issue of compatibility.
Of course
it'd be a different story, even with the same Noble
Phantasm, if a Servant were the one wielding it.
Do you know what all of you are lacking?
Power?
Invaluableness.
You lot have not one bit of faith
in a higher being.
Not in gods, not even in Heroic Spirits.
On top of that, you don't even believe
in your own power.
That's why you want to rely on tools.
There is no invaluableness in that.
I cannot teach you
the concept of invaluableness
but I can teach you evanescence.
Now, I will take this, not even a weapon,
and I'll crush the head of this so-called Chief
that all of you put your trust in.
Are you going to at the very least
fight back as a human?
What useless resolve.
Not one thing will reach me.
Not one thing will reach you, huh?
My coffee got you

didn't it?
