Fate/strange Fake (2024) s01e05 Episode Script

Stars' Banquet

You, dear. Listen closely.
What you need to eradicate are the ones
who are trying to plunder from us.
You, dear. That's why you shall fight.
So that you can take your
mother back someday.
You're missing quite
a lot deep down there.
Let me tell you something interesting.
Those spellcasters that were repeatedly
calling you guys "You, dear"
They all died, okay?
Oh, and about your mother.
She's long since died in
a country called Japan.
Let me tell you once again.
This operation is to recreate
a Magecraft ritual
We fished up six Masters and their Servants
using a fake Holy Grail War as the lure.
We will use them as
catalysts to officially
summon seven Servants, and the real
As a Master of the True Holy Grail War
I will have you summon a Servant.
If the summon succeeds—
You don't have to report
to me what showed up!
You can do whatever you want
after it's summoned, too!
If anything, you can even consider
coming after my life!
Please make sure to report to me.
And this has nothing to
do with the job, but
What will you wish upon the Holy Grail?
I don't have any wishes.
I don't have a god to believe in
or a homeland to return to.
All I desire are meals
and good sleep each day.
I didn't expect the favorite
that you kept talking about
to be a boy like him.
Oh, right. He looks like
a boy because they fiddled
with his body too much when he was young.
He probably can't live that long a life.
Though, he's not the type
to worry about stuff like that.
Is that the reason why you didn't prepare
a catalyst for him?
I had a lightbulb moment.
If I made a fake Holy Grail choose
a Servant for someone who has nothing
what exactly
would be drawn to it?
So, you're a Master of the Holy Grail War?
Hah!
How this face lacks ambition.
I am indeed the Master who summoned you.
You can call me "Captain."
But that will soon become meaningless.
Who exactly are you?
My boy, you have a misunderstanding.
We were not
summoned by you.
Who are you?
We are nothing more than shadows
of the Heroic Spirit you summoned.
We are not Heroic Spirits.
You're outta luck, man.
You can't escape now.
You have summoned a hardship
that has no way out.
However
we have high hopes for you.
That you will become a Lancer
that pierces through all.
What do you mean?
Are you lot not the Lancer?
If Fuyuki's system was used as is,
Lancer would have been the
one rightfully summoned.
Then, what in the world
Let's see.
A guardian whose job is to always look
down on us from a high place
I guess you could say "Watcher."
Hurry up already!
Mr. Cordelion?
Bazdilot!
What are you doing
to a member of the family?
A fly.
Wait—
If you thought you could infiltrate
with a disguise like that
that's a great insult to Mr. Scradio.
I received a catalyst from the States.
I will summon a Servant.
Bazdilot Cordelion.
His public face is the president
of an industrial waste disposal company.
His hidden side is a high-ranking member
of the Scradio Family,
a huge mafia group
that is very close
to a portion of the government.
There are over 125 murders
that he is suspected of involvement.
During his first incarceration,
three wardens and 26 inmates
went missing in six months.
He painted the entire penitentiary
into allies of the Scradio Family.
I am still against it.
Taking someone
with so many enemies out of jail
to weave him into the Holy Grail War.
You say that, but all the Masters I called
are kinda similar, you know!
The Masters can all be controlled
however we wish.
But
you and Bazdilot Cordelion
are a different story.
Hey, what do you think will happen?
I mean, he's trying to summon
the great virtuous, unyielding hero
Heracles!
Are you the one
that will become my master
and present me a labor?
The one who decides that
isn't me. That's you.
And I shall ask you, as well.
O hero of Greece.
Are you
testing me?
If you speak of such
knowing my background
I will deem those words
as something you risk your life for.
Of course.
I have already
thrown my life away long ago.
How facile.
Restraints from Command Spells
are meaningless to me.
Drop your facade.
Bastard!
What did you
I don't need a hero.
I need human obsession that uses
any means necessary to meet an objective.
Impossible!
This is not a level of Magical Energy
that someone of this era can harbor!
I further order you with
another Command Spell.
Remember all the humans you have observed.
Wh-What's going on?
I further command you.
Was it really all right?
I mean, to hand him that thing
you brought here from Fuyuki.
It's fine, it's fine!
I mean
I didn't want to keep touching
How does it feel
to get rid of what is unnecessary?
Why do you hide your face?
Admonition.
So that the sins of man
never reach my eyes again.
I ask you.
Are you my Servant?
My name is Alcides.
I will have my vengeance
against the gods
and using the power of the Holy Grail
I will rid myself
Ridiculous.
But tell me. What is the source
of your Magical Energy?
Even after such a fierce battle,
I did not feel it ever flicker.
That is not the Magical Energy level
of an ordinary Mage.
It's quite simple.
I am using batteries.
In the past
and built upon it.
A Magical Energy forge
that runs on human lives, huh?
With this much, I'll
have no issues fighting
at full throttle for about half a day.
Half a day with this much?
Then
you should be able to continue fighting
with all you've got for several months.
How many humans have you sacrificed
to this contraption until now?
just 24,976 people.
Surprising you were able
to keep it a secret.
Of course.
It is all thanks to my lord
Galvarosso Scradio's connections.
The bigger the Scradio Family gets,
the more enemies we have.
If we have to eradicate them anyway
we should make good use of them.
I appreciate that you
stopped their squabbles
but we'll be in trouble
if you don't hold your reins properly.
I hear you have been erased by the Agency
twice or so in the past.
I cannot understand it.
Why the government decided
to join forces with you
even if it has been several decades
or you, who has the nerve
to join forces with a government
that tried to eradicate
your very existence.
She'll kill you if you
say that to her face.
Is that why you became
interested in eternal youth?
I have no intention
of putting up with your hedonism.
If necessary, I will forcefully have you
exit the stage.
I know that.
I have never once thought
that you were on our side.
Jeez!
Faldeus should enjoy the war more.
We have so many actors
that shine on the stage after all!
Hey, don't you think so?
Isn't this where you welcome me
with a "Welcome home, master!"?
I did some work immediately
after being summoned, you know.
But
I'm the master here!
And that was nothing
more than a performance
to make the States feel relieved.
But still, it wasn't all
that bad a show, right?
Yep! I gotta hand it to me!
Oh, but I wanted to see it in person
the angry face of the King of Heroes!
Now, now, this is just the beginning, me!
I, François Prelati
in pure, righteous glory
- in pure, righteous glory
swear to win and acquire
- swear to win and acquire
the great Holy Grail!
- the great Holy Grail!
Just kidding!
- Just kidding!
In other words, you lot can objectively
observe the Holy Grail War?
To be precise, not us,
but the one you summoned.
I don't get it.
Is this what you call an "Extra Class"?
And what do you mean
I'm going to become Lancer?
I got some sleep and thought
it over once again,
but it's not making sense to me.
I think you're quite something
to be able to sleep
and even eat in this condition.
Sleep and meals are more
important than anything.
We are slightly different
from those Extra Class folks.
Didn't I tell you?
You're the one who will become Lancer.
Watcher is the barrier and watchtower
for that to happen.
Isn't it absurd to say
that a human will become Lancer?
What is absurd is this
Holy Grail War itself.
It has derailed all too far.
Those that normally would not be summoned
are calling for each other
and more will be drawn over to this land.
Tsubaki
It's all right.
I will never abandon you.
Is this a tattoo?
Was this here before?
Did you pull this bird out, as well?
Thank you! I love animals!
Love!
You know, Mr. Black
nobody will disappear anymore, right?
Nobody will disappear anymore, right?
Oh, yes! I'm sorry!
Yes. Thank you so much.
Goodbye.
Professor wasted two hours of his time
because of me.
I see the reason why you admire
your mentor so much.
He is a magnificent
instructor of Magecraft.
Taking into account the tale that
he survived a Holy Grail War,
he must also be top-notch as a Mage.
Of course! Professor has solved
all sorts of cases for the Clock Tower—
What's wrong, Master?
The fog is rather thick.
What are you talking about?
There isn't any fog anywhere—
Mr. Berserker, we might
be in a bit of trouble.
This fog has at least
swallowed up the entire city.
What will happen to me now?
From hereon out,
an assortment of difficulties you may
call "trials" will stand in your way.
By overcoming them,
you will slowly become someone.
I am a mere soldier with no name.
I will not amount to "a somebody,"
even to death.
We'll see about that.
That just means that you
can become anything.
Escape the jaws of death, young man.
Rage against God.
Never submit.
Beyond all that
is where the proof of your life will be.
See
Are you a Mage seeking the Holy Grail?
Are you
a Servant?
Answer my question.
Hold on. I have no hostile intent.
Can you allow me
to negotiate with your Master?
Jump.
You have some hair coming your way.
That's not a Master.
That's a poor little girl
who got roped into the Holy Grail War.
Get away!
If you stay here
