Arknights: Prelude to Dawn (2022) s01e08 Episode Script

1
Amiya.
Inspector, they're still in the stronghold.
Are you sure?
Yes. There are no signs of anyone
escaping to the surrounding areas.
That must be where the target is.
The sandstorm will let up soon.
Keep scoping out the area with the drones,
and have everyone get ready to move.
You come with me. We'll check with
Rhodes Island on how to proceed.
Understood.
Everyone, listen up!
They'll cling on to getting revenge
even if it costs them their lives, huh?
I was scared.
I was scared of losing
someone important to me again.
I
I will protect you, no matter
what it costs me, Doctor.
Even if it means I have to kill.
But
Maybe there was another way.
Maybe I didn't have to kill him.
But I couldn't find it.
It fills me with remorse. I say I'm saving
the Infected, but I end up taking their lives
I didn't want to show you that side of me.
I'm so weak.
Amiya, I'm only here
because you protected me.
Doctor
Thank you, Amiya.
It's because we promised each other.
Thank you, Doctor.
Amiya.
We need you down here.
I'll be right there.
You all be good boys and girls now, you hear?
Hello again, Officer Ch'en. How's it going?
You
Wow, scary. Sorry, though.
I'm not here for you this time.
W?!
I missed you, Amiya.
Mind coming over here?
Your buddy wants a little heart-to-heart.
Amiya
Misha?!
W!
See you next time.
Get down!
She's quick!
Inspector, should we give chase?
No, it's useless.
Check if she planted
any explosives in the area.
Take him to Medical.
Right!
Can you stand?
Yeah
Damn it. Amiya.
Yes
M-Misha! That is you, right?
Are you okay? We'll come
rescue you right away! Wait there!
Hey, Amiya Why?
Huh?
Why did you kill him?
Misha?
That was my baby brother.
You said Rhodes Island and
Reunion chose different paths.
But Rhodes Island hurts and
slaughters Reunion and the Infected, too.
Isn't that right?
Misha—
I've always turned a blind eye
to the Infected's sorrow and pain.
It was no different when they took
my brother away after he got infected.
He kept calling my name in tears
But I covered my ears and hid myself.
But now I get it.
Now that he's been taken from me again
I finally get it.
My heart hurts so bad, I can't bear it!
Reunion wants everyone to know the pain
that the Infected are forced to endure
That's the punishment they deserve.
As an Infected myself,
I will stand with the Infected.
It's high time I pay for my crimes.
Don't be hasty!
Just putting yourself in the shoes
of the Infected won't change a thing!
We're Infected ourselves!
We definitely understand how you feel.
Trust us! Rhodes Island will—
Sorry, Amiya.
There's no other way.
I'm not as strong as you are.
Goodbye.
Misha. Misha!
Misha!
Amiya.
Doctor
She
I I
What should I do?
H-Hey! What's the big idea?
A leader should never show
hesitation, no matter what.
On the battlefield, that's a fatal mistake.
Misha has chosen to side with Reunion.
Do you think you can still save her?
Hoshiguma, report.
Here. Situation normal inside the
building and its surroundings.
We're ready to leave at any time.
Got it.
The L.G.D.'s objective is to get Misha.
For Lungmen's sake, we have to bring her back.
That's the case for Rhodes Island, too, isn't it?
We leave in five minutes.
It's not like you to hesitate, little bunny.
Whatever your decision, we'll follow you.
Now that we've come this far,
we're gonna follow
Rhodes Island till the very end!
Right, Texas?
That was your plan all along, huh?
Teehee, ya got me.
Everyone
Amiya.
Amiya, what do you want to do?
I
I want to talk to Misha.
If we talk to her, I'm sure
I'm sure she'll understand!
Let's go see her.
Yes!
Didn't I say I wanted to be alone with him?
Drop the spooky voice already.
You should know that I'm here for you.
It's a huge pain in the butt,
but I have to protect you.
Let's get out of here already.
And if I say I don't want to?
What?
You won't get anything out of me.
I don't know anything.
But everybody treats me
like I'm so important
I'm absolutely sick of it!
My, oh my.
I guess everyone died for nothing, then.
We'll have even more dead bodies
on our hands soon, too.
And then, the Reunion folks
who fought for you will all be dead.
Kinda sad, don't you think?
So Skullshatterer died for nothing, huh?
Shut up!
Boy, you two are exactly alike.
If you want to run, go without me.
I promised him we would go home together.
If I'm going home, I'm going
with him and everyone else.
They're all just like me
We're all Infected.
We all need to be protected.
We have nowhere to go.
If he were here, he'd protect everyone.
I know he would!
He's not dead
Skullshatterer can't die.
He's not going to die
I'll make sure
that Skullshatterer lives on.
Got them!
Surround them! On my mark, charge!
Lure them in! Move!
Clear!
All clear here!
Franka, 3 o'clock. Two men
are hiding behind that boulder.
Got it!
Clear over here, too.
That's their forward defensive line broken.
All squads, spread out!
Second wave, advance.
Don't let any of them get away!
Roger! Forward!
Amiya, everything looks good over here.
Understood. Proceed according to the plan.
You got it!
Let's go, Doctor.
Right.
I'll escort you. Please follow me.
Thank you.
Guess I didn't have to?
Nah, I owe you one.
Don't mention it.
That said, Franka, is it okay to
push this far into enemy lines?
Sure is.
Not happening!
I see.
Franka, you're going too far ahead.
All right, let's go!
Sheesh.
Clear!
Inspector, all clear here.
Roger.
All units, we've broken through
their second defensive line.
Keep up this momentum. Forward!
Roger.
We've taken out a lot of them,
but there's still more near the stronghold.
Let's keep advancing.
Hoshiguma.
Yes?
Will you guarantee the lives of
the remaining Reunion fighters?
We'll take responsibility and
bring them back to Lungmen.
But the L.G.D. isn't like Rhodes Island.
This is war. If they resist,
we can't guarantee they will survive.
Looks like the rumors about the
Lungmen Special Inspection Unit are true.
Eyes on the stronghold.
Okay, but
I was just thinking that Amiya's
ideals might be hard to stick to.
All right. Let's focus on the job.
I can see you guys.
Good work!
How was that? Totally cool, right?
Let's go.
Seriously? Can't spare a single compliment?
There's no time for that.
Sheesh.
This is Exusiai. Do you read me?
What's up?
We don't see her anywhere.
Maybe W took her?
Roger.
No sign of anyone in the area.
She should still be here somewhere.
Okay, Doctor!
We'll look again.
Got it. Thanks.
Doctor, let's change the mission objective.
Okay.
This is the Doctor. We haven't located Misha.
Our objective now is to search—
It's
It's a miracle
A miracle has occurred.
Amiya, is that
No
That's not Skullshatterer
Doctor!
Yeah.
Madame Ch'en, do you read me? It's Amiya.
I have a request.
Skullshatterer cleared a path for us!
He's right behind us!
We're not done yet!
Let's show 'em what we got!
Skullshatterer!
Thank heavens! You're still alive!
I knew that couldn't have killed you!
After all, you just reunited with Misha!
She should've gotten out by now.
Once we finish off the L.G.D.,
let's head back to Chernobog together!
What's this?
Flares?
Are you telling us to evacuate?
What are you talking about?
You're here now! We can still fight—
Skull
H-Hey!
Wait, Skullshatterer!
Damn it! How's running away
going to get us anywhere?
Get behind me!
It's different this time.
They want to finish us off
and go home alive.
Get the injured behind the boulder!
Exusiai. There's no end to them. Let's fall back.
Roger.
He shows up and the whole situation changes.
Seems he was a pretty popular guy.
Yeah.
Misha.
You're Misha right?
Why?
Misha.
What
What I've done is inexcusable.
But please Please listen
to me just one more time!
Listen to you?
What's the point?
I'm sure fate intended
for all of this to happen.
Amiya.
I'm sorry that I never
taught you how to make that doll.
Amiya!
Hurry. Neutralize Misha!
Amiya!
Finally
It's all over.
M-Misha
Misha
I told you before: don't hesitate!
A moment of indecisiveness
can turn the tide of a battle!
Do you still not understand the weight
of the responsibility you carry?!
This is the ending that we all face.
Inspector, the enemy is surrendering.
I see.
We've found the target.
Signal the collection team.
Yes, ma'am.
It looks like our fates intertwined.
They cross and clash with each other
Even the best chess players find themselves
in checkmate at the most unexpected moments.
And that's why, all's well, in the end.
Amiya, are you taking that as a keepsake?
So be it. Just know that your room will
one day be filled with masks like this one.
Just mourning the dead isn't
going to change the world.
When we have to, the L.G.D. and I
draw our swords without hesitation.
But that's not the Rhodes Island way, is it?
Welcoming the Infected with
open arms and saving them
That's not something we can do.
Little leader of Rhodes Island.
You are nobody else but yourself. You just
have to walk the path you have chosen.
The path that belongs only to you.
My path
I always thought Rhodes
Island could help everyone.
But in the end, I couldn't do anything.
Madame Ch'en told me to walk
the path that I have chosen
I I want to break these chains of hatred.
But if this is what awaits us
at the end of that path
Will everyone still believe in me?
"We just have to follow this path. Everything
will work out." No one's going to believe—
Amiya.
When I woke up,
I saw your light in the darkness.
I found the path that I must walk.
It wasn't for anyone else to decide whether
I should follow the path you showed me.
I chose for myself to walk this path.
You're always ahead of the others,
lighting the way for the rest of us.
I will keep walking my path
in the same direction as you.
Doctor.
Thank you.
Let's go.
Right.
