How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord (2018) s01e07 Episode Script

[video game sounds]
[BOY 1]
Your guy's so strong!
[TAKUMA] Nah, it's just 'cause
there's three of us now.
I couldn't defeat
that monster on my own.
I can give you
some of my extra gear
if you want
your warrior stronger.
--[BOY 1] Nuh-uh?
--[TAKUMA] For reals!
We're friends now,
aren't we?
--[BOY 1] Yeah!
--[BOY 2] You bet we are!
[CHILDREN playing]
[TAKUMA panting]
[BOY 1]
"We're friends now, aren't we?"
[laughs]
Man, Takuma's
such a freaky loser.
Be cool to him
so he'll still give us stuff.
[BOY 1] Well, duh! Did you see
how strong that equipment is?
[BOY 2] Yeah! Makes it
easy to play with just us!
[BOY 1] In that case, can't we
just ditch Takuma, then?
[BOY 2 laughs]
No! He might get better stuff!
[BOTH laugh]
[DIABLO grunts]
[TAKUMA sighs]
What's up with that dream?
[DIABLO gasps]
[TAKUMA]
Are they trying to suffocate me?
Too close! [gasps]
But then again, I
I might be into it.
[chuckles]
--[SHERA groans]
--[DIABLO groans]
[sighs]
[REM]
I'm out.
Sylvie and Celes need to know
what went down yesterday.
With any luck, they can help
us out with Psycho-bro Keera.
In the meantime, I'll go
and inform Lord Galford.
[DIABLO]
Good.
[SHERA]
Please be careful out there!
You're the sister
who's causing trouble.
Yes, please keep in mind
you are still being
hunted by adventurers,
which is why
this prince is coming
to hear your decision.
Don't give in to him. Be strong.
[DIABLO]
She's not going to.
And I'm not going to
hand her over to anyone.
Keera said he'd
respect my decision.
So I'll just tell him
I'm staying here.
Then all this'll be over with.
There won't be a war
and we'll get a giant bounty!
'Kay, bye.
Well, see you soon.
--[door creeks]
--[SHERA giggles]
--Now, to work.
--Huh?
[SHERA]
Whatcha doin'?
We've managed to avert
a war for the time being,
but that doesn't mean
we shouldn't do our best
to be prepared.
I'm going to arm us
with recreations
of potions from my world!
Wow! You can make potions?
Well. They certainly
won't make themselves.
And I'm a Demon Lord.
I wouldn't be as strong
if I neglected
basic preparations.
[TAKUMA]
Why do I do this to myself?
These look nothing like
the herb icons in Cross Reverie,
and I can't exactly
drag and click on them.
[SHERA]
I love a good DIY! Can I watch?
[TAKUMA]
Yeah, sure. I love pressure!
[TAKUMA yells]
And boobies!
[SHERA]
What's wrong?
[DIABLO]
Uh, nothing, why?
[TAKUMA] She's about to
spill her double lattes!
It's like eight pounds of
jelly in a two pound bag!
Screw potions!
I need lotions for motions!
Superb! Oversized! Orbs!
[SHERA]
Whoa!
What? You scared me!
I've never seen anyone
who could finish so fast!
[gasps]
[TAKUMA]
How the hell?
I watched professionals
brew potions several times
and none of them
compare to how good you are!
[TAKUMA grunts]
I-I rule.
I made this while
lost in the boob-o-sphere.
If I focus, I actually
have to do the task myself.
But if I let
my mind wander,
my body goes
through the motions.
I have to let go
and rely on my reflexes
to recall
the skills I perfected
as a master Combiner
in the game.
I could blink and those
things would appear.
Are you not going
to make any more?
[DIABLO]
What? Of course I am!
Now, pay close attention!
It's important that,
as an adventurer,
you know how to make potions!
Watch only my hands!
This is how you'll learn!
'Kay! I'm watching!
[TAKUMA]
Yeah, so am I!
[SHERA moans]
[TAKUMA gasps]
Jiggle-jiggle.
I can almost
see the tippy-top
of mount boobalicious.
Keep watching my hands.
[grunts] Being a Master
Combiner is awesome!
You made so many!
[DIABLO grunts]
Of course. I'm a Demon Lord.
[SHERA]
My mind is blown!
I can't believe that just
happened in front of me!
You can do anything, Diablo!
Oh, wow. Are you smiling?
[DIABLO]
No! I flexed my lips!
[SHERA]
It's just your face
usually looks like
you're about to choke a kitten
[TAKUMA]
Damn it! Get it together!
But I love whatever
caused it to happen.
It looks really nice on you.
--Huh?
--See!
There it is again! So cute!
Butt nuts!
[whimpers]
[TAKUMA]
She's right.
I haven't smiled at anyone
since coming to this world.
Why would I?
I hope, someday, I can
be as confident as Diablo
without pretending to be Diablo.
[DIABLO]
I, uh, I was thinking
I like these moments.
It makes me wish
they could go on for eternity.
[SHERA]
Huh?
[TAKUMA] That did not
just come out of me!
What kind of wuss-monster
is controlling this Demon Lord?
[SHERA] Thank you for
sharing your feelings with me.
Actually, I was thinking, too.
Diablo, I--
[flute playing]
[DIABLO grunts]
[SHERA gasps]
[DIABLO]
He's back. [grunts]
Shera? What's wrong?
[SHERA]
Listen, Diablo.
There's something difficult
I've been needing
to tell you lately.
[DIABLO]
Okay?
[SHERA] I realized,
I'm ready to go back home
to the Kingdom
of Greenwood now.
[DIABLO gasps]
What? How?
Wait! What brought this on?
[SHERA] Nothing, really.
It just makes sense.
Things can't stay this way.
Greenwood is my home.
I should be spending
this time with family,
who love me,
instead of questing aimlessly.
[DIABLO grunts]
Well then, see ya.
[DIABLO]
Uh, wh-what about, uh, R-Rem?
I mean, d-don't--
don't you want to
tell her goodbye?
I've kept my brother
waiting long enough.
It's more important
that I go to him at once.
--[gasps]
--[door creaks]
Shera?
Welcome back, sweet sister.
I knew in time your heart
would lead you home
where you belong.
[KEERA] We agreed
we would each respect
whichever decision
she made, didn't we?
Now, we best be on our way.
[HORSES neigh]
[grunts]
[DIABLO]
She's gone?
[whimpers]
--[REM] Hmm?
--Is he okay?
[REM]
I can't tell.
Hey, is there
something wrong?
Someone's got
their pouty-pants on.
[DIABLO]
She, uh
Shera went home
to Greenwood.
[BOTH gasp]
[REM]
She did not! Why?
[DIABLO]
I don't know
I'm not done with you!
What now?
What are you planning to do?
[BOTH sigh]
[DIABLO]
Sleep.
--[gasps]
--[door clacks]
[TAKUMA]
Didn't see that coming.
She lied.
I never thought
of her as the type
who would
do something like that.
Just yesterday, she was
determined not to go.
Did I scare her
by sharing too much?
I like these moments.
It makes me wish they
could go on for eternity.
[DIABLO whimpers]
[sobs]
He's feeling things.
[knocking]
[footsteps]
[bed creaks]
You know, it's hard to be
productive in a fetal pose.
How long are you planning
on laying around like that?
[REM] She's not smart enough
to be putting on an act.
She cared for us.
That elf couldn't lie
to a deaf and blind dwarf.
Think about it.
She's slower than anyone,
and doesn't learn very quickly.
Fooling us would take
a stronger skill set.
I talked to her last night.
She was fine. She told me
all about this stupid dream
she had for the future.
It was highly unrealistic,
but kinda cute, I guess.
Like her.
Anyway, both you and I
were part of her plans,
so it doesn't make sense.
[REM] I don't believe she really
wanted to leave us behind.
Do you think it's possible
someone's controlling her?
Like, is she under some
kind of spell or charm?
I don't think so.
I know she is.
[REM gasps]
When Keera
came back to visit,
he was playing
his flute again.
[TAKUMA] Immediately,
Shera started acting strange.
I'm thinking that flute
has some sort of
brainwashing power.
But, I never saw it
in Cross Reverie,
and I don't have any proof
that it even exists.
[TAKUMA]
I should have known.
This is the way
it's always been.
I told myself
we were friends because
it was fun and convenient
to believe they liked me, too.
[TAKUMA] Constant rejection
creates hopeful delusions.
I'm the one
who misunderstood them.
That makes
the most sense.
Something's wrong.
This isn't Shera.
Even if her "decision"
wasn't affected by magic.
She's got some major
Elf Brain happening or whatevs.
[door creaks]
This is dumb.
I'm going out to find her.
I'm guessing
you'll be here?
[DIABLO grunts]
[TAKUMA whimpers]
I can't!
If she rejects me again,
I won't be able to handle it!
I'm tired of
being hurt by jerks
who only wanna mess
with my emotions!
You're the same way, Rem.
Why? Why?!
Tell me why!
Because I'm her friend,
and so are you.
--[DIABLO gasps]
--[SHERA] I'm happy here with
my new companions,
Diablo and Rem!
Diablo? Be careful, okay?
What am I,
Chopped Orc liver?
'Cause I belong
to you, too, don't I?
I also wanted to say
thanks for saving me.
Thank you for sharing
your feelings with me.
Actually, I was thinking, too.
Diablo, I--
[DIABLO]
Just a moment.
--Please wait.
--[gasps]
I don't want you to storm
an Elven camp on your own.
There's no
guaranteeing your safety.
[REM sighs]
Shera is worth the risk.
I won't give up on her.
Isn't that ironic?
You're willing to risk your life
for someone who left you.
An Elf who didn't say goodbye.
Rem Galleu!
You are one of two
who summoned me.
So I ask you this.
Do you desire the power
of this Demon Lord?
Yes!
I want to have your power more
than anything in this world!
I'd freak if
you gave it to me!
[DIABLO]
Very well!
Then, to fulfill
your fighting objective,
I shall give you
a small glimpse
of my substantial power!
I'd like to go with you, Rem.
She gets it.
[ALICIA]
I think you're on to something
regarding Shera's state of mind.
But you're an imperial knight.
Won't this affect your status?
[ALICIA] My status is not
what I live to defend.
It's people in trouble,
this is my purpose!
Besides
[giggles]
I don't want to leave Rem
to take this on alone.
There's our imperial knight!
[DIABLO] I told you,
you didn't always have to
find a way to be useful.
Hmph. You ignored me.
And I have to say,
I am grateful for it.
Thanks!
[DIABLO] All right! Let's go
get Shera back from that
flute-blowing Elf tool!
--[ALICIA] Yeah!
--[REM] Good one
[flute playing]
[whimpers]
[chains rattle]
I don't know
why you're resisting,
it's pointless.
This flute is one of the
secret arts given to our kind.
When I saw you yesterday,
I played a tune only Elves
could hear that was imbued
with a spell to
override your thoughts.
Which means it's impossible
for you to defy my commands.
I can make you do
or say whatever I please.
The look on that Demon's face
when you walked away from him
was a masterpiece!
He had so much faith
in you, didn't he?
[SHERA whimpers]
So, why don't we
have some fun?
Are you ready to answer
some questions for me
under my command?
[SHERA]
Yes. You can ask me anything.
[KEERA] Tell me what
Diablo made you do for him.
What kind of orders
did he give you?
Orders?
[KEERA] How did he use
the Enslavement Collar?
What did you do
to service him?
Tell me, so that I can use it
to do even more
satisfying things to you.
There weren't many.
I think he only
used it on me one time.
[SHERA] He ordered me to shake
hands with Rem and smile.
[grunts]
Don't play dumb!
You know that's
not what I mean!
I'm telling you the truth!
That was the only
order he ever gave!
Why the hell not?
[chuckles]
His loss, I guess.
Either way,
you're done with that life.
I'm going to enjoy teaching
you some delightful new tricks.
Just to show you who
you belong to from now on.
[BOTH grunt]
There was no need
for that cacophony,
and right in the middle
of family hour.
[sloshing]
What's that stuff?
No need to be afraid.
It's just a hungry little Slime.
[SHERA]
Please, don't!
I know what that does!
It'll eat me!
[KEERA]
Only if it were carnivorous.
This particular breed only
feeds on fabric.
Huh?
[chuckles]
[SHERA] But why would you
want it to eat my clothes?
[KEERA]
Isn't that obvious?
I'm preparing to
put an Elf baby in you!
[screams]
It burns!
[sobbing]
No! It feels gross!
Like a bunch of gigantic
slug tongues all over my body!
[laughs]
You like it behind the knee?
You're such a dirty girl.
[SHERA]
What do you mean?
If I'm dirty, it's because
this stuff is sticky!
[whimpers]
[SHERA]
Make it stop!
--So gross!
--[laughs]
Why would I stop it when
you're taking to it so well?!
[SHERA]
I hate you.
I really hate you
for doing this.
I know you do.
But please stop whining.
I don't want to kill you
before my heir is conceived.
I would rather die than live
through that kind
of sick torture!
[KEERA] Then let's see
how tough you really are.
[sizzling]
That hurts! [yelps]
[gasps]
Stop!
[whimpering]
No!
[screams]
Help me, please! It burns
Those cries are so annoying.
I suppose you
leave me no choice.
I don't want
to force you, Shera.
So I'll have to make you
offer yourself to me.
Help me, please! Diablo!
[gasps]
Sorry for the wait.
I'm here.
I knew you would be.
Where are your manners?
You should know better than
to barge into a Prince's camp
while he's tending
to important duties.
Keera? You're a sick elf.
Sorry all I heard was doodies.
Release her!
Royals still require consent!
[KEERA chuckles]
What's wrong with
a little entertainment?
We're keeping things exciting.
It's mutually beneficial.
[DIABLO]
Now I see.
I was wrong to let her go.
I knew it. I should
have obeyed my instincts
and kept Shera from leaving.
Even if it meant burning
down the entire city.
[growls]
[SHERA screams]
[whimpers]
I'm sorry I was late, Shera.
[SHERA]
Diablo You're here
You came for me
[REM]
Don't worry, Shera!
[ALICIA]
We're here, too!
[KEERA growls]
They're just pretending
to be your friends.
Why didn't my guards
notify me of intruders?!
What are they
doing out there?!
[DIABLO] I take it you didn't
hear all the noise outside.
[KEERA shrieks]
How did this happen?!
Where are my guards?!
Are they on a union break?
[ALL coughing]
[grunts]
Prince Keera Help us
[KEERA]
Look at this mess you made!
Do you know what this is?
It's an international issue!
You want a war, don't you?!
No, I only came here
for one purpose,
and that is to find out if Shera
truly wanted to
come back home with you.
I know all about your methods,
and how you manipulated her.
[growls]
Yeah, right!
And what kind of proof
do you have, huh?
[DIABLO]
The only proof I need
is to ask Shera once more
how she truly feels about
leaving with you.
[KEERA growls]
You're wasting your time!
Shera, tell him
you know in your heart
what must be done!
[whimpers]
I've already told you.
--I have to return to Greenwood.
--Huh?
Greenwood is where I belong.
My family needs me there.
This is time I could be
serving my homeland.
This isn't you, Shera!
[KEERA laughs]
Are you satisfied, Demon?
You heard her!
--[DIABLO] That means nothing.
--[KEERA] What?
Shera!
As the owner of
your Enslavement Collar,
I command you to
express your true feelings.
Completely unbound by
other magical influences!
--[REM] You got this!
--[ALICIA] It's working!
Don't listen to him!
I'm the one that owns you!
Override, override, override!
[SHERA whimpers]
Focus, Shera!
Don't listen to him!
Speak from the heart
that belongs to you!
Your heart, your mind,
and your body belong to me!
[SHERA grunting]
[DIABLO]
Shera. Tell us the truth.
What is it
you really want to do?
[grunts]
[SHERA sobs]
I
I want I want to be free.
I don't want to stay here.
I want to be with Diablo
and Rem forever!
Nothing is more precious
or important to me
than the friends I've made
who are here for me now!
[growls]
[DIABLO]
You deserve to face judgment
for your actions, Keera.
[KEERA snarls]
[grunts] I don't like
this ending, dammit!
You're ruining my fun and
it's pissing me the hell off!
Have you forgotten
you're all commoners?!
Maybe I should remind you!
[SHERA gasps]
No, Keera!
Please don't use that!
[KEERA] You're all
sentenced to death!
This secret Elven
Summon has the power to
destroy the entire
world with one throw!
If everything I enjoy
is going to be stolen,
then no one
deserves to live!
--As you wish.
--[SHERA, REM gasp]
[DIABLO]
If you dare to challenge me,
then I'll have to accept.
Good.
Come forth, Force Hydra!
[REM]
What is that?
[ALICIA]
It's huge!
[SHERA]
Run, Diablo!
No one can
beat this Summon!
It's the Elven Nation's
secret weapon!
Oh, it's too late
for regrets, now!
[growling]
Have a nice death, Demon!
[KEERA]
What the hell are you?!
[DIABLO] You will pay for your
mistakes, with your life!
--[SHERA] No!
--[CELSIOR] Keera!
[GALFORD] It won't be good
if you decide to spare him.
