Synduality Noir (2023) s01e02 Episode Script

1
[Tokio] She's seen better days.
[Mouton] The joints are cracked
due to heat friction.
It must not have been able
to keep up with her reflexes.
She could be one of those
Type Zeroes you hear about.
An Amasian Magus from before the collapse?
Is that what Noir is?
-Wouldn't that be exciting?
-[gasps]
[machine rumbles, bangs]
[Kanata gasps] Noir?
At any rate,
you can't be a Drifter
with this old clunker of a Coffin.
[Kanata] I don't exactly have money
for parts
Then why not act like a Drifter
and go out looking for treasure?
Maria!
I've got some spare parts.
Take what you want.
Thank you so much!
It's nothing, really.
Is there anywhere else
I can pick up some Coffin parts?
How about the ruins where you found Noir?
Her old Coffin might still be there.
It might have her memory too.
[gasps]
[Tokio] Did you really have to tag along?
[Maria] Well,
I can't just leave you two unattended.
[Tokio] What did you say?
Is there something I should know about?
The male-female relationship is complex.
-[machine beeps]
-[gasps]
I've got a signal. Let's go.
Whoo! Treasures!
[Tokio] Where are you going?
[Maria] Oops.
It's really here.
Do you remember anything?
I don't know.
It's sure taken a beating.
-Is this
-[gasps]
[Kanata] It's Amasian.
It's pretty heavily modded,
but that undercarriage is the real deal.
In that case,
perhaps she really is a Type Zero.
[beeping]
-[Tokio] How are the internals?
-No good.
No data at all.
-This is all I've got.
-[gasps]
[Kanata] Pascale?
-[Maria] So a guy.
-[Tokio] No way, that's a girl.
Does the name "Pascale" ring any bells?
I don't know.
-[sighs]
-[Maria] Then there's this.
-This was under the seat.
-[Kanata] Hmm.
An old recording device, maybe?
It could have a record of Noir's master.
[Ellie] Did you fix it?
Yes, all fixed. It's over there.
Where's Maria?
She is out with Kanata and Tokio.
-She's with Kanata?
-Are you worried?
N-No.
-[horn honks]
-[gasps]
[honking continues]
[Ellie] What's with the gimmicky Carrier?
That emblem,
that belongs to the Nebbiolo Family
of Baccarat Nest, right?
What do they want all the way out here?
That's
Isn't that Aventure's
former second-in-command?
Range!
[humming]
So it's been two years.
[Tokio]
We sure worked our butts off today.
Kanata, wanna go for a drink?
[Kanata] I need to get back
and fix my Coffin.
Come on, have a drink with me.
Hey, Mouton, can you handle it from here?
As you wish, master.
Hey, hey! Aren't you gonna invite me?
You're not welcome there, remember?
You got kicked out
for drinking all the booze.
[Mam] Maria! There you are.
That Magus you requested has arrived.
Take it.
You got another Magus?
You can never have too many hands
when it comes to rocket development.
Ms. Maria. From this day forward,
I am in your care.
It's good to have you on board.
[beeps, trills]
Can I get you anything, master?
That is how we enter into
a binding contract with our master.
Hey, Noir, can you take this home?
[Tokio] Come on, let's go.
[no audible dialogue]
Where should I put this?
You can leave it on the table
in the back room.
[Mouton chuckles]
Thank you.
Perhaps I ought to tidy up a little.
That should do it.
How can I do what you do?
Any Magus can do what I do.
So, I can do it too?
Perhaps, if you can recover your memory.
My memory.
Something wrong?
I should really
You'll just get inside your head
if you go home.
"Noir wants to recover her memory."
"If she recovers her memory,
she'll want to go back to her old master."
I wouldn't think that!
[patrons chattering]
Mmm.
-Wow!
-That's fresh.
-Isn't that a Magus?
-At least savor it, will you?
[Magus sighs]
Delicious. I'll have another.
Of course!
-She didn't even finish!
-Give it to me!
[beeping]
[server] Here you are!
That's real fresh produce, ain't it?
I ain't had that in a year.
I have it at least once a month.
Why are you trying to outdo her?
Oh, you poor things.
Shall I share
some of my fresh produce with you?
You'd do that for us?
I'd like some too!
[Magus] All right, you may eat.
What are you doing?
[Magus] Why, I'm giving food
to the underdogs.
-What did you say?
-You messin' with us?
Oh, wow!
You're offering fresh food?
Well, don't mind if I do.
Mmm, mmm, mmm.
Mmm. [chuckles]
Wow, that's good!
What a clever boy you are!
Have you met the Baccarat Nest circus?
I'd be happy to introduce you, Tokio.
Huh?
Oh, you're Dolce!
Man, you've changed quite a bit.
A Magus must look the part
for her master, right?
Does that mean Range's back as well?
Speak of the devil
[patron] Hey, Dolce.
[gasps]
What are you doing
flitting about without me?
Master! Have you been enjoying yourself
getting reacquainted with your hometown?
The Nest is as dull and dreary as ever.
But the fresh produce is delicious.
I don't give two shits
about Michael's homegrown vegetables.
Oh, Tokio! It's been a while.
Well, who were you again?
-That's Range!
-[whistling]
You even said his name before.
He looks much better dressed now, though.
Oh, that's right!
Range, that guy
who was driven out of Rock Town
after getting his ass kicked by Michael
for stalking Maria.
[grumbling]
Well, now I'm a key figure
in Baccarat Nest's Nebbiolo Family.
We don't need to worry
about that petty crap no more.
You were kicked from Aventure.
What do you want?
And who is this? It's Ellie!
You've become quite a woman
for such a little brat.
Well, if it isn't Kanata.
Think you can sit with the big boys
when you're not even a Drifter?
Kanata's a fantastic Drifter!
He's even got a Magus!
What a dismal life for the poor Magus
to have a punk ass hack for a master.
-[Kanata sighs]
-[Ellie gasps]
Kanata took down
some intermediate Enders all by himself!
He's not a hack!
He's a hack, through and through.
When he took Aventure's aptitude test,
he managed to get
the lowest score on record!
That's gotta take some talent!
[Ellie] Huh?
I'm not wrong.
I'm the former second-in-command.
So, why don't you hand
that poor, unlucky Magus over to me?
I'll find it
a much more appropriate master.
You were right to make the switch
to liquid fertilizer.
Huh? Did someone die in here?
Here's the idiot who missed the memo.
Let's go.
Who was that?
That was the former second-in-command
who you disposed of
two years, two months, and five days go.
Oh! Huh?
[Tokio] All right, let's try this again!
Here's to Kanata's debut as a Drifter!
[crowd cheering] Yeah!
[Tokio] Hey, wait. Where's Kanata?
Hey, Kanata!
Kanata?
Sorry I broke you.
Kanata. You're back?
Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm back.
-[Noir] Here.
-Thanks.
But I'd like to get started on this first.
[Mouton] Are you going to begin repairs?
Yeah.
[Mouton] Then I will assist you.
Thank you.
[Noir] What should I do?
It's not safe, so you just sit back.
[tools whirring]
[machine whirring]
[tools whirring]
[sighs]
Magus don't need sleep,
but what about you, Kanata?
Want to take a break?
[chuckles]
I may be a hack, but I'd at least like
my Coffin to perform as well as any other.
[Mouton] Then you'll give it another go?
[Kanata] Yeah.
[snoring]
This is
with Noir
[Ellie whines] I could just die.
[Ange] You've said that 72 times
since yesterday.
[Ellie] Kanata failed
the Aventure aptitude test
and I kept telling him to take it.
[Ange] Oh, come on.
Quit moping around and let's go!
Go where?
-To see Kanata, of course!
-[groaning]
[Ellie] Oh? He's fixed it already?
-Noir?
-[shrieks]
What did Noir do?
She's not here!
And the recording device is gone too.
I guess she wants to know
about her past and her master.
[gasps] I'll go look for her!
[Ange] We'll split up and look for her.
Thank you!
[Noir] Can you fix this?
Sorry, I don't do repairs.
Our job is to buy and sell.
[vendor] Never seen
this contraption before.
Can't help you.
Nothing but trash around here.
Oh? A little lost Magus?
Well, that's a rare find.
Hello there! You looking for something?
Can you fix this?
Huh? What's this claptrap?
[Noir] That is Kanata's.
Kanata?
Is this her?
Is this Kanata's Magus?
Oh?
Just you leave it to me.
I know exactly
where we can get this fixed. [chuckles]
[electronic voice] The Blueschist Density
for today will be 1,112pB
with a zero percent chance
-of an Enders Incidence.
-This is so rude!
When's the Weather Bureau
gonna give us a storm?
Give it some gusto!
You're being silly. What?
-[Ellie pants] Did you find her?
-[Kanata] No.
Maybe she went to another block?
-[electronic beeping]
-[Ellie, Kanata gasp]
Kanata, isn't this your Magus?
[Kanata] Huh?
-Noir!
-[gasps]
[Ange]
Why is she getting into Range's Carrier?
What are you waiting for?
We have to go get her!
[beeps]
Kanata?
Range's right.
It would be better for Noir to find
a master who's more capable than me.
What are you talking about?
It looked to me
like Noir wanted to get in that Carrier.
But this is Range!
He must have tricked her.
To tell you the truth,
I didn't want Noir to recover her memory.
She's better off
without such a horrible person!
[Ellie] That's your excuse?
That means you really do
want to be by Noir's side!
That's why you were in such a rush
to fix the Coffin, right?
Get a hold of yourself!
If Tokio were here, he'd say
[Tokio] We'll cross that bridge
regarding her memory when we come to it.
-Tokio?
-[gasps]
[Tokio] Let's go bring back Noir.
Okay!
Prepare yourself, Kanata.
We're gonna fly like the wind.
[Range] Hyah!
You seem happy.
The boss is gonna love this.
She doesn't even realize we tricked her.
What a ditz!
We'll find a better master than Kanata
for her,
and he'll pay handsomely.
If I could explain with words ♪
I'd explain my tears
And my innocent smile ♪
I know that is what's most important ♪
I'm Ciel. Who are you?
I'm Noir.
That's what Kanata called me.
Is he your master?
Kanata is Kanata.
Oh, really?
Is that thing special?
[Noir] Yes.
It looks like an old camera.
Can you fix it?
I don't think it's broken.
It's probably just run out of batteries.
How can we fix it?
[Ciel] We can recharge it.
What did you do?
You should be able to do it too.
-[alarm blares]
-[Ciel gasps]
[driver 1] Large object approaching
from the rear.
[driver 1] Visual, incoming.
[grumbles] That Coffin is JOHNGASMAKER!
It's Tokio!
[Tokio] Whoo-hoo!
And whoo-hoo!
Whoa! This thing of Maria's is insane!
[laughs] Now you're getting into it!
They're here for the Magus!
Fire! Drive them off!
-[Kanata] Whoa!
-[Tokio] Whoo-hoo!
-[Kanata screaming]
-[Tokio laughing]
They're catching up!
We'll go in the Coffins.
Sending out the grunts?
Kanata, I'll handle the dregs.
[Kanata] What?
Hey, wait!
You go get Noir!
[screaming]
[Kanata] Whoa!
Noir!
-We did it!
-[Kanata] Not yet!
What?
[Range] Kanata!
You punk ass hack.
You don't stand a chance without a Magus!
You don't know that!
[Range] I do know it!
[screams, pants]
[Range] This is quite the Coffin
for a punk ass hack.
What a waste for that Magus
and this machine to be in your charge.
I say this as an old friend.
Give me the Coffin,
and I'll let you escape with your life.
Fat chance!
Over my dead body!
I made this Coffin for Noir!
I'm not going home without her!
Kanata.
[Range] Then say your prayers, Kanata!
I said you should be able to do it,
but what was that?
That was Noir.
Kanata is waiting for me.
[Range] Huh?
-It's her.
-How did she escape?
[Kanata screams]
[Range] Don't mess with me,
you punk ass hack!
[Kanata pants]
[Range] You're such a pain in the neck,
Kanata the Hack!
Die!
Noir!
[Coffin beeps]
Noir! [pants]
[Range] Try to run, and you're dead,
little Magus.
We've gotta take Range out.
Noir, will you help me?
Yes.
But, what if I break your Coffin again?
It's okay. She's all fixed up now.
Have faith in her!
I understand.
I believe in you, Kanata.
Get over here with your hands up!
What?
Instakill
That punk ass hack beat me?
Damn it!
Get out here and help us, you wretches!
[Michael] I'm afraid
that won't be possible.
They've all gone nighty-night.
It ends here, criminal scum!
Michael!
No! Not my Carrier!
Master, quickly!
[Range pants]
You'll live to regret this!
[Ciel] Good luck.
That Noir.
She kind of reminds me of somebody.
-[Noir] Kanata, here.
-[Kanata] Huh?
[Noir] Ciel fixed it for me.
Ciel?
There's nothing here.
Don't worry, we'll recover your memory!
We'll get you back
to your original master.
Do I have to go back?
Didn't you take this
because you want to go back to them?
If I recover my memory,
then I can help you with cleaning,
washing, and repairs.
[Kanata] You did it for me?
[Noir] Can I stay
even if I can't do anything?
Noir
-[Noir gasps]
-[beeps]
[beeps, trills]
[gasps]
I'd like you to stay as long as possible.
Yes, master.
