Fate/strange Fake (2024) s01e04 Episode Script

Faldeus Dioland.
He comes from a family of Mages
that has specialized in puppetry for generations
and is one of the masterminds who set up
this Holy Grail War in collusion with the States.
During the Third Holy Grail War of Fuyuki,
someone from Faldeus's family
participated as a Master.
The Dioland Family partnered up
with a portion of the government
and tried to recreate
a Holy Grail War in the States.
They plundered the land most suitable for the ritual
from the guardians of that territory
and relentlessly tampered
with the Leyline.
And that place is Snowfield.
The project was halted for a time
but it quickly accelerated after they managed
to culture a piece of the Holy Grail
from Fuyuki on this land.
But in the end, it's
nothing more than a fake.
Compared to the real thing,
its connection to the Leyline is weak.
So
they decided to summon
an additional seven real Servants
using us six Servants as primers.
With a seven-day time limit to boot.
Do not look back.
DOST THOU HAVE CONVICTION?
Dost thou have conviction?
So long as thy conviction be retained,
thine shadow I am become.
I see.
So, this is the Holy Grail War.
To think that a Dead
Apostle was a Master
Even I couldn't predict that at all!
It's obvious that you're enjoying this
troublesome old hag.
My, my, my.
You know, being told that to my face
actually hurts my feelings.
I've only been using this body
for three years, you know!
The internal organs
are still really clean!
Care to look? Wanna see?
A girl's secret
in-ter-nal or-gans!
If we leave that Dead Apostle to do as he pleases,
we'll end up with civilian victims, as well.
I thought you braced yourself
for civilian casualties
when you decided to use
this city as the stage.
Are the States really going to proceed
with the project as planned?
That's right!
Every Master in the real Holy Grail War
has struck a deal with the States,
so you can rest assured, Orlando!
Besides, there are parts of the incidents from
last night that I'm not amused about, either.
What?
I mean, the ones that stood out in the end
were the Executor and the Dead Apostle!
No, no! That's a no!
The stars of a Holy Grail War
have got to be the Servants and Masters!
Now, let the show begin!
Did you get a playbill?
Did you get popcorn?
You gotta hurry
or you're gonna miss the
fight of the century!
Huh?
Lady Tiné!
My king! Are you all right?
What was that lightning?
The lightning itself
was my Noble Phantasm.
I set up an auto-defender
in case my friend decides to jest.
I didn't think I'd have to repel
an arrow of the likes of a bowman.
Bowman?
However, the Archer-class—
Tiné
Ride in the back.
I-Is it all right?
I can't fully protect you
from those ghastly arrows if I leave you here.
As you are my Master
it would trouble me so if you were to die.
Right.
What the hell did you guys summon?
You're going to ask that
in a Holy Grail War?
Disclosing the True Name means
you're disclosing their weakness, you know.
We are Mages, and we are policemen!
Existences who rope in the residents of the city
with no particular reason
should be eradicated first and foremost!
You really are square-headed.
Then I guess I'll at
least give you a hint.
The Holy Grail War doesn't summon
the gods themselves.
But he's an exception
as he's only half-god.
His strength is of a different level
compared to an ordinary Heroic Spirit
and in his heart,
hatred for the gods is boiling over!
You're the one who staged
the surprise attack.
You won't be begging for
your life now, will you?
Two
Archers?
His class may be Archer, but his very nature
was changed drastically when he was summoned.
So, he is now a seeker of vengeance.
Why don't we call that an "Avenger"?
I see.
Indeed, if I were fixated on victory,
I may toy around with such an idea, as well.
However
that would only be
suitable because it is I!
It is not an action that the mere likes of you
would be allowed to do!
Hah!
Looks like he has quite
the sticky fingers. Then
how about this?
No way.
The King of Heroes, huh?
So weak.
Oh?
If you're just randomly throwing weapons at me,
you might as well be throwing sand!
Draw the sword idling
in the furthest reaches of your storage.
That will make us even.
Ea might as well be my other self.
It is not a sword I use
against weaklings like you.
Prove to me that you are
a powerful opponent
worthy of an audience with Ea.
How foolish.
You would have spared yourself
from death had you drawn it.
A tremendous divine aura.
A Noble Phantasm.
Its aura is different from the gods I know
but in essence they are the same. Hmm?
Gil
Looks like you're fighting someone
that might be pretty powerful.
On top of that
another strong presence has appeared.
Huh?
That fiend is my prey!
The two of you, don't meddle with him!
Amazing.
I'm awestruck!
Did you know about this, Ayaka?
What exactly is this music?
What was I
doing again?
Man, he's amazing!
Your boyfriend!
He said he's never
touched a guitar before
but he mastered it in no time!
Oh no, he's not my boyfriend or anything.
Where's he from?
He's told us he's from England, but
I don't know, either.
Nothing about him.
Ayaka!
Look!
Isn't it great? They gave it to me!
They say we're going to do
something called a "session" now
so I want you to take a listen, as well!
This is exactly what they mean
when they say "raining on a parade," girl.
Kalion!
I see, so it's you.
Queen of Betrayal.
Archer!
As I thought.
That surely hit him.
What in the world?
He has armor that seems to be made
from the hide of a Demonic or Divine Beast.
Was that also what blocked
Your Majesty's barrage of attacks earlier?
Any and every tool crafted by human hands
will not work against that thing.
Why do you not harbor my father's power,
the power of the war belt, upon your body?
The power of gods is not something
to harbor on one's body.
What?
It is something to force into submission,
trample upon and control with human might!
What
is that power?
I thought I told you
to not get in the way!
Fool!
I have no ear to lend for one with such insolence
that they do not dismount before the king!
Get lost at once!
Of all things, you direct
the power of some god against me?
Your insolence knows no bounds, woman.
If you're going to bar my way any further,
I will eliminate you first, golden king.
Get in your way?
Am I not, in truth, your salvation?
What?
You and that bowman over there
stand on different levels
as Heroic Spirits.
Surely you are not so simple
that you can't even understand that.
I understand that he surpasses my best
because I died at his hands!
However, at this point,
my end is of little importance.
Answer me!
Why did you target that young child?
Though they are a child,
they are a Mage who joined the war.
I have no reason to be merciful!
I don't want to hear
some common and cliché reasoning.
You
You, of all people
were a man I thought could
never do such a thing!
That cavalrywoman is angry
that the bowman targeted me?
More than the fact that she was killed.
They don't
even perceive me as an opponent.
Gleefully pointing your bow at a child
is something you would never allow!
Songs of awe and reverence for you
echoed to the ends of my homeland!
Have you discarded
your god-praising name, O Heracl—
Silence!
A hero of that name doesn't exist!
No, he was never even a hero!
I am nothing more than a human.
I seek vengeance upon the gods.
Huh? Where are you going?
To deal with the situation, of course.
You don't have to get
so worked up about it.
I already dealt with it.
What?
Right now
my Servant is heading
there to run interference!
Huh?
I see.
You are no longer that man.
Then I shall not say I will right you
back onto the proper path.
Are you going to don it?
The power of the gods.
You, as well as the golden king
I will eradicate as enemies!
How you bark, girl!
You dare lump me, a king,
in with a mere vengeance seeker?
A favorable start.
I can certainly bring down two demigods.
Okay, that's enough.
This is a forced teleport?
That's no good, all of you.
You must cool your heads.
What are you doing, pulling out
your trump cards in the very beginning?
To think there would be even more disrespectful
agitators blighting my entertainment.
Did you think an illusion of this caliber
could deceive my eyes?
Nothing less from the King of Heroes!
I don't think I'll be able to deceive
your sharp eyes!
But what about your ears
Gil?
Who granted permission for you
to take the guise and voice of my friend?
On top of that, you try
to use it to deceive me?
Even death will not suffice as punishment!
An illusion-weaver.
You're telling me to retreat, Master?
All right. I shall abide by your orders.
Golden king, and revenger
who deceives himself!
I swear that next time, I will honor our battle
and settle things as a warrior!
You think I'd allow
such a disrespectful agitator leave, girl?
But all right.
In magnanimity, I shall grant you pardon.
Mongrel, there is no meaning for you
to hide your True Name anymore, is there?
If your objective is to
violate part of my self
naming yourself shall get you close
to that lofty goal!
My name is Alcides.
Golden king
You are a powerful monarch
such that the sovereigns I know
cannot compare
and yet, you are weak as a warrior.
Next time
I shall trample upon the power of the gods
that lay dormant in the furthest reaches within you.
Now that he has disclosed his True Name,
it's meaningless for me to hide mine.
My name is Hippolyta!
Child of Otrera and the war god Ares!
I am the queen of the proud tribe
known as "the Amazons"!
Golden king and his young vassal,
we shall cross paths once again!
My, my.
They all went home.
Then I guess we'll
retreat for now, as well.
My judgment has not
changed, you lowly wretch.
Even "mongrel" is too esteemed for you.
See you again, King and company!
Come find me if you desire
to truly fall from grace!
I humbly ask.
Your Majesty, was it all right for you
to not give your name, as well?
They're not worthy of
hearing my name just yet.
If they stand before me once more,
I will grant them the honor.
You weren't sleepy or anything
Ayaka?
The guitar was so loud,
I couldn't help but be wide awake.
I'm sorry about that.
Oh, no.
I didn't mean it that way.
There aren't any Mystic Codes
or surveillance systems here.
Now is the time to sleep if anything.
Huh?
So, you didn't forget
about the Holy Grail War.
Then what you were doing up until now
was all an act?
Of course not!
Oh, I was really touched!
To come across a melody
that has changed so much from my times
What a stroke of good luck!
Hey
What are you planning to wish
from the Holy Grail?
This is unusual for you
to ask something about the Holy Grail War.
If you have a reason dear to you,
I have a need to apologize to you.
Because I don't think I'll
be of any help to you.
You provide me the magical power
to materialize in this world.
No way you are not helping at all.
Besides
the reason why I seek the Grail
I'd like to know that myself.
Huh?
What do you mean?
Didn't you answer the summoning
because you sought the Holy Grail?
Thinking logically, that
should be the case
but even I, the one who was summoned,
don't know of a clear-cut reason.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't have regrets
remaining from when I was alive.
But it's not something
I'd wish upon a Grail over.
The Holy Grail is what
King Arthur once sought.
I'd like to win it and
donate it to his grave.
But it's not something I want so badly
I'd trample upon the great wishes of other heroes
or put someone else in the face of danger for.
Huh?
You're right. That's not something
I should say after being shot by you
while I was blinded
by the treasures of the Round Table.
You're speaking to
someone invisible again.
Let me introduce you. I'm going to make
the Magical Energy path a bit stronger, all right?
Huh? Hold on—
That just now
Pierre Basile.
The man who killed me.
Huh?
I have two Noble Phantasms I can use,
or rather, I have two aces up my sleeve.
One is the power to have the souls I chose
accompany me with their agreement.
It's hard right now to
make them materialize,
but I can have them assist
with techniques or Magecraft.
No, wait—
The other is—
- Hold on a second!
What's wrong?
What's this so suddenly?
The name of the guy who killed you?
That's basically telling
me your True Name!
Yeah.
I plan on disclosing my
True Name to you now.
What are you thinking?
I told you that I'll tell you my True Name
in due time, didn't I?
Right now, there are no worries
of other Mages listening in on us—
Stop it!
I told you that I'm not participating
in a Holy Grail War.
You and I are simply connected
through Magical Energy.
I am nothing more than a civilian!
So
save your True Name
until you find a much better Master.
I see.
You're right.
I will disclose my True Name
when I come across a great Master.
You do that.
My name is Richard!
Duke of Normandy and King of England!
Perhaps the sobriquet
"Lionheart" is more famous?
