Gnosia (2025) s01e09 Episode Script

Welcome to the world of the Gnosia!
Gnosia?
So, I'm really good at seeing through lies,
but I suck at lying myself.
Huh?
That's why I'm gonna
apologize in advance. Sorry!
If it looks like I'm done for,
just abandon me.
A Gnosia
I'm a Gnosia?!
By the way, there's one more of us.
Sha-ming is also a Gnosia.
If the real Engineer steps
forward during the meeting,
I'm also supposed to claim Engineer.
EPISODE 9: WORLD OF GNOSIA
I'm not really confident
I can pull it off, though.
Anyway, I'm gonna get going.
We don't want people to suspect us,
so we should go separately.
Well, see you in the main control room.
Wait.
Comet, um
You're really okay with this?
Deceiving everyone like this
and trying to take over the ship.
Right?
I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel
at all bad about it, but
I don't want to die.
Even if this is the hand I've been dealt.
But even after becoming a Gnosia,
my desire to be a cat didn't suddenly change.
But just promise me this.
No matter the world line, I want you
to play your role to the best of your ability.
So this is everyone.
All right.
It looks like we're all here,
so let's get started.
LeVi.
As you wish.
Out of the ten of us who
escaped onto this ship,
there are three Gnosia infectees.
Wait, seriously? Three of them?!
So considering we will lose one during
the meeting and another during the warp,
after two days, we will have
lost four, leaving just six.
If there are three Gnosia remaining
at that point, we're done for.
What? So we only have two days?
It simply means we'll have to
identify them without delay.
Who is the Engineer?
Declare yourself at once.
You'll never believe this,
but cute li'l SQ is the Engineer!
If there are Gnosia around,
I'll go bam, bam,
and find 'em just like that!
Is anyone else going to claim Engineer?
Hey, something's wrong here.
I should be the only
Engineer on this ship
even if I'm terrible with machines.
Which means one of these two is a Gnosia.
Man, talk about a pain in the ass.
They're participating in
the meeting like normal.
I have to say something, too.
LeVi, is there a Doctor or Guardian Angel?
Affirmative. Both a Doctor and a
Guardian Angel have been appointed.
Though I am unaware of who they might be.
Is anyone going to claim either role?
The Doctor is only useful after someone
has been put into cold sleep.
And it's too risky for the Guardian
Angel to out themselves.
It makes perfect sense for them
to stay silent right now.
Was anyone on Guard Duty?
It appears that no one was on Guard Duty.
In other words, any of us could be a Gnosia.
Which will make us that
much harder to identify.
This is all very much in our favor.
Then how're we gonna identify any of them?
Guess we just gotta pick whoever
looks most suspicious—
Whoa! This has way too much sugar!
By that logic, you're asking
to be the one frozen.
Wait, really?
What Shigemichi is saying is true, though.
We don't have much to identify
anyone by on the first day.
We'll just have to go
with first impressions.
I actually have a proposal,
if you'll all listen.
Setsu?
They say a lie comes out in one's
expressions and mannerisms,
so could you all say
that you're human?
Sure. I'm just a plain ol' human.
Yes, I am human. Unfortunately.
Me next! Precious li'l SQ is human!
I can't say that I approve of this method.
Though I'm human,
so it's no skin off my back.
Can I actually call myself human?
Well, I'm certainly not Gnosia, at least.
I'm human.
CHECKING FOR CAVITIES
I'm human, no matter what anyone else says!
Crap. Well done, Setsu.
This is a great way
to catch the Gnosia in a lie.
Yuri.
Me? I'm human, of course.
Did they see through me?
Or was I convincing enough?
I-I really don't like being forced
to say stuff like that
So you're refusing to say it?
No, not exactly
Crap Her timing couldn't be worse.
There are five minutes remaining.
Anyone who looks suspicious right at the end
has a high chance of getting voted out.
I need to do something.
For now, let's hold off on voting
for the two who've claimed Engineer.
Huh? Why, though?
It'd be a huge loss for the human side
if we froze the real Engineer, so I agree.
Ooh, like, way to go, Yurinchy!
I'm definitely feelin' your love
all the way over here!
I think this is the best path forward
we have to defeat the Gnosia.
Before I knew it, I was lying
like it was second nature.
I was trying to fool them. All of them
All of the humans.
The votes will now be tallied.
Jina will be put into cold sleep.
I'm sorry, but rules are rules.
It's okay. I'm actually a little relieved.
Now I don't have to worry about
being attacked by the Gnosia.
Jina
I'd rather take my own life
than be eliminated by a Gnosia.
Are you that afraid of being
attacked by the Gnosia?
Yes, I am.
Having to abandon my body while my
soul goes off to somewhere unknown
If that's really what
happens, I'd rather die.
Well Goodnight.
Is this really okay?
It filled up a little more.
Yo! Yo, yo!
Ooh, you're awake. Got a minute?
Wh-What is it?
Well, I just wanted to thank you.
Thanks for protecting me earlier.
Your love really shot through my heart!
Er, I was just
I've gotta, like, check someone
out as the Engineer tonight,
but I was just curious
who you'd choose, Yurinchy.
Well?
She trusts me? If I can use
this to our advantage
Look at you, all lost in
thought starin' at me.
You're way too adorbs.
Er, um
What should I do?
If I manage to get the real Engineer on
our side, it'll give us a huge advantage.
But
Either one of us could be Gnosia,
so it's best we don't say
more than we need to.
I see
Boo!
You're no fun.
Man, I'm terrible at this.
Beginning warp countdown.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five,
four, three, two, one.
The sound
It's party time
partner.
So this is the world of the Gnosia.
Man it sure is quiet
in this world of frozen time.
Oh, maybe that's why it feels so nostalgic.
Nostalgic?
So
Who are we eliminating today?
Could we eliminate Otome?
Otome?
If—I'm just sayin' if—
we happen to mess up and Otome survives,
she's just gonna go back
to the research lab, right?
As a lab animal.
But Otome said the researchers
are good people
The hell they are.
No matter how intellectualized she is,
she's still just an experiment to them.
When they're done with her,
they'll throw her out.
Though I'm sure Otome
doesn't realize that herself.
What do you wanna do?
Okay, let's choose Otome.
Here we go.
Yeah.
Is this what happens when you're infected?
I sort of understand
what I'm supposed to do.
I wonder what's crueler in the end.
Gettin' taken out like this
without even knowin' it
Or knowin' that it's gonna happen.
Is it over now?
Yeah.
Tomorrow, I'm pretty sure the
real Doctor will step forward.
Yuri, Setsu and the others really like you,
so you shouldn't do anythin' risky.
Then
I'm gonna become Doctor Sha-ming
and make a huge mess.
You better back me up.
Bye, now.
What should I do?
I have to make my report
as the Engineer tomorrow.
Oh, right.
Should I say that someone is a Gnosia
and drive them into a corner?
No. Both Racio and Yuriko are still here.
If you blatantly lie, there's a good
chance they'll see through you.
Tomorrow, let's just say one
of the humans is human.
What? Really?
Yeah. If neither Engineer is lying,
it'll be harder for them to decide.
That'll work for tomorrow.
Man What a relief.
You were worried?
Well, I told you, remember?
I'm really good at seeing through
people's lies, but I'm awful at lying.
Okay, good.
If I don't have to lie, I don't have
to worry about getting caught.
See ya.
Comet.
Hm? What's up?
Do you really want to win?
Even as a Gnosia?
On the planet I'm from, to force us to adapt
to the environment when we're kids,
they toss us into a cave
for years.
That place is super quiet,
just like the world we're in now. But
Most of the people there just die,
one after another.
After seeing that, I decided
that if I survived, I'd
go explore the universe.
Though leaving the planet
was already hard enough.
After becoming a Gnosia,
I thought it might not be possible anymore
But if we take over this ship,
I can still achieve my dream, right?
You can.
That's right. For everyone who can't loop
Really?
This is their one and only world.
Let's take over this ship
and explore the universe.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
Oh, just so you know,
I'm gonna be the captain.
So, Yuri, you can be my first mate!
Sure.
So Otome's
Affirmative. I do not sense her presence.
If only the Guardian Angel, like,
angel'd it up the way they were meant to
We knew this would happen as long
as Gnosia infectees remained.
Let us begin.
Right. Let's begin the meeting.
Okay, I'd like to start
with the reports today.
As the Doctor, I'll report first.
Oh? You're the Doctor, Setsu?
Yeah, though I didn't say
anything the first day.
So Setsu's the Doctor
Not so fast.
I'm the real Doctor.
Which means you've just
made yourself an enemy.
And I'm perfectly fine with that.
Yeesh, you sure don't like me.
But maybe that means you're
actually just that interested in me.
I'm gonna make my report. Jina was a Gnosia.
My sensors are sharp as hell, y'know.
Jina was human. Without a doubt.
Oho
Which means that one of them is lying.
Though that was to be expected.
Now it's been confirmed
that one of them is lying.
If they suspect Sha-ming even a little bit,
he's absolutely going to get voted out.
I need to skillfully guide this meeting.
Next, let's hear the Engineers' reports.
Okey-dokey! Sergeant SQ reporting in!
Believe it or not, I checked out Setsu!
She checked Setsu
And the result? Quit wasting
time and tell us already!
Yes, Captain! I detected no Gnosia,
and therefore Setsu is human!
What about you, Comet?
Huh? I
Tomorrow, let's just say one
of the humans is human.
Wait. Even if they're human,
if she actually chooses
I
I also checked Setsu. I got the same result.
Setsu is definitely human.
Huh?
That means
What? What does that mean?
Hah. You don't understand?
Just now, both of the Engineers
determined Setsu to be human.
So we can say with complete certainty
that Setsu is a definite human.
Which also means
that Sha-ming is a Gnosia.
Wait, wait, wait!
We can't rule out the possibility
that someone's wrong here!
Maybe the real Engineer hasn't
made themselves known yet!
But that would mean that both of
the claimed Engineers are Gnosia.
Do you really think that's a possibility?
Er, but I mean
It's no use.
If we try to intervene now,
we'll only expose ourselves.
Oh, fine.
I'm so sorry!
It's all my fault.
I thought that if I picked Setsu, no
one would think I was suspicious.
No, it's my fault for giving
you vague instructions.
This really sucks.
More importantly, now we need
to think about tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
You want to survive and
go on adventures, right?
Yuri
The Doctor will check to see if
Sha-ming was a Gnosia tomorrow,
and it'll be confirmed that he was.
Right
Then the most likely thing they'll do next
is determine which of the two Engineers,
you or SQ, is the Gnosia.
Does that mean they're gonna
ask me lots of questions?
Yeah.
I'd like to help you, but it'd be dangerous
if I did too much and they suspected
we were working together.
This is hopeless.
Racio and Yuriko are going to ask me weird
things to try and catch me in a lie, right?
I told you. I'm really bad at lying.
Even so, you're just going to have to try.
I'll try to think of what they might ask
You're bad at lying
Yeah, and?
There's a way.
There's a way to use our mistake
to turn things around.
So Shigemichi was eliminated
Hmph. His was a truly
insignificant existence.
Now, start the banquet.
All right, let's begin.
First, I'll make my report.
As the Doctor, I investigated Sha-ming.
Sha-ming was a Gnosia.
Not that you really needed to check.
Which means that the matter
of which Engineer is fake
is probably the next thing
we should make clear.
Yeah, I saw this one coming.
Huh? Does that mean I'm suspicious?
Just reply calmly like you usually do.
If you become emotional at all,
they'll think you're hiding something.
I've actually been thinking about that.
LeVi.
As you wish.
These are the voting results
for day one and day two.
Take a look at day one.
SQ voted for Comet, but Comet voted for me.
If Comet was the real Engineer,
she would know for certain that SQ,
who had also claimed Engineer, was a Gnosia.
So why didn't you vote for her?
Well, um
I'd expect nothing less from Racio.
They're logically pursuing
whatever seems contradictory.
But that's exactly how
we can trick them!
I thought the same thing, too.
Yuri
But when you think about it logically,
it just doesn't make any sense.
What do you mean?
Do you all remember the reports
from the Engineers yesterday?
Back then, Comet reported
that Setsu was human
only after SQ reported the same thing.
And?
Isn't that strange?
Reporting that Setsu was human at that point
also confirmed that Sha-ming was a Gnosia.
If Comet was a Gnosia, she went out
of her way to sell out her own ally
in a situation where she
could've lied all she wanted to.
Hm.
I thought it might've been some strategy,
but there's no angle from
which it benefits the Gnosia.
Meaning Comet isn't a Gnosia.
Which means
Huh?
Wait, do you all think
precious li'l SQ is sus now?
Now this spaceship belongs to you, Comet.
So where shall we go, Captain?
Let's see
Hey, first mate.
Yes, ma'am!
Will you accompany me on this adventure?
Of course.
You're just like me, Yuri.
You're terrible at lying.
Huh?
I told you that I'm really
good at seeing through lies.
Let's take over this ship
and explore the universe.
I already knew the first time you said it.
Why did you lie like that?
Er, um
No! I'm not lying. It's just
Yuri.
I like you.
Could you tell that was a lie?
Y-Yeah
That's just it. Seeing through lies
doesn't mean you can read minds.
I know that you won't stay with me,
but I don't know why.
So I'm just gonna say
how I really feel.
I don't like you
I love you.
