Unmasked Marie

EPISODE 3 "UNMASKED MARIE"
I hear Arthur's resistant to poisons.
But that won't matter if we
use ten times the lethal dose.
Clank.
Run for it!
Firing.
Damn it!
What does it take to find a competent assassin?!
Honestly, what foolish creatures humans are.
Robots are more trustworthy.
You're all I need, Marie.
Arthur, the heir to the Zetes fortune,
despises both people and lies.
So he employs two robot maids,
Marie and Marie 2.
Twirl.
Commence charging.
Oh, I almost forgot.
Here, Marie. Your favorite.
I never said I liked them.
By the way, how do you
recharge yourself with these?
I'd love to see.
In reality, Marie is only human.
But she's dead on the spot
if Arthur ever finds out.
THIS IS A SPECIAL ZETES DRY CELL BATTERY. DO
NOT TRY THIS WITH ORDINARY BATTERIES AT HOME.
We're doomed. Marie, it was nice knowing you.
That's adorable.
He'll believe anything!
Now then, Roy,
is it me, or is our home security way too lax?
I believe high employee turnover is to blame.
Arthur does fire people at the drop of a hat.
You seem tired lately, sir.
Why not forget work and relax once in a while?
Your father made a habit of it.
With women, that is.
Relax?
You have a party mode,
so you must have a girlfriend mode too, right?
What?! I most certainly do not!
He's got his hopes up.
I've got to do something girlfriend-y.
Master.
Master, I love you to bits.
I blew it.
Hang on! I had no idea girlfriend
mode would go that far!
Listen, "master" won't cut it on a date.
Call me Arthur.
Yes, sir.
No "sir" either.
Yes, si—
Okay, Arthur.
When I was a fighter, my instructor told me,
"If you want to improve, copy the strong."
If I'm going to pull off "girlfriend mode,"
I'd best try imitating other couples.
Want to stop for tea, darling?
- Sure, let's go.
- There's one!
Want to stop for tea, Arthur?
All right. Where should we go?
I want to go there.
I need to make us look like a couple!
Oh, darling, I'm so happy! Gimme a hug!
You have an intense way
of showing your love, Marie
P-Please forgive—
I mean, sorry, Arthur.
Here, darling. Say, "Ah!"
Ah!
I can do that!
"Ah!"
That's good.
I pulled it off this time.
Now let me return the favor.
Here, Marie.
That's a Zetes turbocharged AA battery!
This is a new kind of abuse!
She looks devoid of all feeling!
I'm following in the footsteps of that couple.
How is it that they're
so much more romantic?
Sorry, darling. Aren't you tired?
No way, Lisa. I could carry
you to the ends of the earth!
Boating, huh? That could be fun.
Master Arthur, submersion
in water is fatal to robots.
I can't swim to save my life.
Oh, that's right!
And if you break down,
Roy will haul you off again!
That whole thing really scarred him.
Okay, I'm fine now. Thanks.
Hey, close your eyes.
Why did I ever consider
boating, of all things?!
I got you a present, darling!
A present? That's girlfriend-y!
Now's my chance to turn things around!
Smooch!
But not like that.
Master, here.
It's a four-leaf clover.
I hope it will bring some
happiness to your tired heart.
Great, now I've done it!
He's rich. What am I thinking,
giving him a weed?
This belong in the tra—
Even the most expensive present is worthless
unless it comes from the heart.
I couldn't be happier.
Marie, er, may I hold your hand?
Like this?
There sure are a lot of couples out today.
But we're not like the other couples.
I'm sure the master will find
a wonderful girlfriend someday.
Because he and I are just playing pretend.
So this is where the church is.
I've been here with my mother and father.
You have fond memories of this place?
Yeah.
Listen, Marie
Yes?
May I kiss you?
K-Kiss me?!
Yeah, I'm in girlfriend mode right now,
so that makes sense, but
Even so
N—
Wait here, Master Arthur.
Marie!
Nice. That's what I like to see in an enemy.
Are you ready to confess your sins?
Very nice. You Arthur's girl?
No, just his attendant.
Yeah? You could've fooled me,
the way you guys were flirting.
It's complicated. But it's
also none of your business.
He's strong!
Marie, are you all right?!
Please stay where you are, sir!
You're wide open.
And it is my business.
See, I've fallen for you.
Let's do this again.
I'm falling
Marie!
Forgive me. I let him get away.
I've messed up girlfriend mode
and bodyguard duty.
So much for the master's day off.
Marie
We'll kiss for real the next time
you activate girlfriend mode.
I'm sorry, sir, but girlfriend mode
consumes too much energy to use often.
What?!
Roy? Actually, I'd like you to pick us up.
Oh, no, nothing's wrong with Marie.
Just who was that guy yesterday?
The next time I see him, he's dead meat—
Next, let me introduce
our new transfer student.
Noah here will be joining our class.
Nice to meet you all.
Wait, that's him!
I'm counting on you, Noah.
Isn't the exam to transfer here really hard?
You must be super smart, Noah!
Help me study sometime.
We ought to throw him a welcome party first.
Good idea.
Yeah, let's do it.
I need to warn Master Arthur that an
assassin just transferred into my class.
Hey.
Would you come to my welcome party, Marie?
Even if I wanted to, no one would invite me.
Maybe they're all scared
because they can't tell what you're
thinking behind that poker face.
But faces like yours
are the most worth seeing twisted in pain.
When we met the other day,
it was love at first sight.
This guy's a psychopath.
Why come here when I know what
you look like? What's your game?
I've got a present for you today.
I just know you'll love it.
Here.
MARIE EVANS
My past that Roy tried to erase!
You call this a present?
No. The time and love I put into
the investigation are my gift to you.
Creep.
Still, a "robot maid"? Really?
That's a hell of a story
you're feeding Arthur.
What do you want from me?
I just want us to get along.
Hey, you there.
Master Arthur
What do you want with my maid?
We were looking at some neat pictures together.
"Neat pictures"?
Master Arthur's going to find out!
Yes. They're very interesting.
Marie?
I guess Marie just likes me better than you.
Hey, you! Get your grubby paws off her!
Can't you see she doesn't like it?!
Do you want me gone, Marie?
I likewise wish to befriend this gentleman.
TO KEEP AN EYE ON HIM
He knows so much.
TO BLACKMAIL ME WITH
Marie's mine!
That does it
You've been putting ideas in
Marie's head, haven't you?
Fight me for her!
Whoa! Sounds like fun.
Fine. But I do get Marie if I win, right?
And if I win, you'll never
bother Marie or me again.
Hold it!
Chickens?
Somebody grab them!
What's the matter, Toby?
Oh, Arthur.
Seven of the zoological research
club's chickens got loose.
How about we round up the runaway birds?
Whoever catches the most wins.
Fine. I'll be victorious regardless.
You mean it?! Thanks a million.
There are seven chickens in all!
Let the chicken-catching contest begin!
Master Arthur has a chance to win
if they settle things this way.
There. Got one.
Arthur looks divine, even
when he's taming chickens!
I wish he'd tame me!
Those girls show up wherever
Master Arthur goes.
I like animals.
Unlike humans, they don't talk,
so they never lie.
Just how bad does he hate people?
There. That makes three.
Master Arthur, let me do something to help.
I don't need any help.
My pride as a man is hanging in the balance.
Marie, please.
Stand back and let me protect you this time.
What was that screech?!
Okay. I'll call you if I catch one.
- Me too.
- Great!
Thanks for the assist!
Getting your friends to pitch in isn't fair.
No one said it was against the rules.
Oh, hey. Who knew you were so close by?
Come on. Hop into my arms,
my lovely little chickens!
He can hide it from humans,
but animals can still tell
what a twisted psycho he is.
Oh well. Time for my fallback.
Come on. I'll treat you guys real nice.
He just whipped out an assassin gadget.
And he's gotten three chickens,
same as Master Arthur!
Oh, Noah! I hear there's a chicken
in the garden by the dining hall.
Looks like it's finally time to finish this.
Once I catch that bird,
Marie is all mine.
No. Marie is mine.
That bird's a fast one.
Where'd it go?
There you are!
Unless I do something,
Master Arthur is going to lose.
What can I do for him?
Master Arthur, behind you.
Please, Master Arthur, win this—
I'm falling
Not the water!
Someone fell in the pond!
It's Arthur's maid!
Ah
If only I were stronger when it mattered.
Marie!
Master Arthur
I'll call Roy, okay?
Marie, you may not be able to hear me now
Master Arthur's hands are shaking.
But I need you.
I know he still needs me,
even if I'm not strong or useful.
Master Arthur
I'm all right.
Th-Thank goodness!
But Master Arthur, the competition
The new guy won!
Here. Your jacket.
The match is over.
Arthur lost.
No, Arthur won this round.
He gave up the fight to save the girl.
Now that's style.
What? Not good enough for you?
Fine. Call it a tie, then.
I'm saved.
I told the young master you weren't in the
water long enough to need maintenance,
but what on earth were you thinking?
I'm sorry.
It looks like Arthur is the
one who needs maintenance.
NEXT TIME
Marie
You've been going through life alone,
and I think you should stay that way.
