Trinity Blood (2005) s01e11 Episode Script

From the Empire

1
I doze with you in front of the mirror,
with rouge fingertips
This hand unexpectedly showed weakness
and blocked your lips
I made a promise with you that day
And now we can't remember it
Why don't I have wings
to float in the sky,
like the wind,
like the clouds?
Why don't I have wings to sink
into the all-enveloping night,
like the stars,
like the moon? Ahh
- Damn you!
- Bitch!
W-who is this bitch?!
You'll pay for this!
Hey!
Get up, Priest!
Asta-san?
Uhh, you know, Asta-san,
this isn't like where you come from.
Resorting to violence
right away isn't really-
They were the ones
who started it.
But, you know,
it's like the Lord said.
"If anyone strikes you on the right
cheek, turn the other also."
Hold on!
We're supposed to work
together on this mission!
With my support,
you'll be 100-men strong!
We'll arrest the culprit in no time,
and you can proudly return to-
I do not need
a Terran's help!
That's such a heartless reply
I will corner him!
This is the scene
of the fourth incident.
The victims were Marco Colleoni,
an antique appraiser,
and his entire family.
They all have blood-feeding marks
that match the previous incidents'.
I see he hasn't changed
his tasteless ways
The Empire's most vile mass murderer:
Enderle, Count of Zagreb.
He slaughtered 300 Terrans there
and was exiled as punishment.
What is someone like that
doing in Venice?
There are so many other
human cities to choose from
What do you think,
Asta-san?
Asta-san!
Earth to Asta-san!
Shut up!
Who gave thee permission
to abbreviate my name anyway?!
I am the Duchess of Odessa,
Astharoshe Asran!
An inspector under direct control
of the New Human Empire
and a respected
imperial noblewoman!
I do not warrant overfriendly
Terran nicknames!
But it's so stiff to say, "Duchess
of Odessa!" each and every time.
I mean,
we are partners
Partners? "Tovaras"?
Yes! It's only until this case
is solved, but until then, we're-
Never use that word again,
lowly Terran!
"Tovaras" is used to refer
to someone entrusted with thy life!
I-I'm sorry!
I didn't mean to insult you-
Forget it.
Just remain quiet.
That's the place?
Yes. According to the investigative
report I just received,
a dealer in that casino was seeing
the victim's daughter at one point.
I have questions for thee.
It won't do good
to hide anything.
Wait, hold on,
Asta-san!
You can't just do that!
Let's discuss this
in the back room, miss.
Eep! U-umm
Asta-san
Please go easy on them.
- They're all thine, Priest.
- Eh?
Hey! Wait!
Uhh
Owner! Some weird guest downstairs
demands to see the girl!
Might this guest be a blonde-haired
girl with a red streak?
Eh? How do you know that?
Because she is standing
right behind you.
Eh?!
Long time, no see,
Astharoshe-kun
To think they'd send
a little girl like you
The Empire's shortage of manpower
must be quite serious
Enderle!
Asta-san!
Where art thou?!
Enderle!
This brings back memories.
It was a moonlit night back then, too.
Enderle!
Back then, the one quivering
in my arms was you, Astharoshe-kun
And where you are now
stood Count Ren Janos
Your dear partner
Stop!
Stop!
Eat this!
Asta-san!
Are you all right,
Asta-san?!
Priest
Enderle!
Where-
- Where is he?!
- Don't move!
You would've died instantly
had you not been a Methuselah!
Let me go!
I must make him-
Asta-san!
Have you still
not killed enough?!
I did this?
Priest!
Urban warfare in the middle
of a carnival?!
I was wrong to expect a Methuselah
to act using our common sense
After everything, the Count
of Zagreb is still missing
Do you suppose their agent
will accept returning home empty-handed?
Her preference
is of no concern.
Cease all assistance immediately
and have her deported.
Understood.
And this was our last chance
to build ties with the Empire too
Priest
I'm glad to see you're well!
Methuselahs certainly do heal quickly!
Art thou all right?
Yes. This is the first time
you've ever worried about me!
What's wrong?
Terrans feel sadness too,
when someone dear dies
Yes. You and they
are no different at all.
You smile when you're happy.
You cry when you lose someone dear.
Sometimes you even
contemplate revenge
I am such a fool.
I apologize
for everything, Priest.
Asta-san
Thanks for everything.
Hold on, now!
Please don't look,
it's embarrassing.
I mean, oops, I need
to take this off first
Fool! Thou art injured!
But Asta-san, it'd be embarrassing
to have your partner in pajamas.
What art thou-
Aren't we pursuing Enderle?
Thou art still
going to help me?
Well, we are partners and all!
Oh, sorry! I'm not supposed
to call us partners, am I?
Priest
Yes?
Kate-san?
I'm truly sorry,
Asta-san
It can't be helped;
I reaped what I sowed.
Stop Enderle! Things could
turn ugly if something isn't done!
Yes, ma'am!
Without fail!
It's certainly lively. Is this
another one of those "carnivals"?
No, there's a big Mass today
at the San Marco Cathedral;
it must be that.
Terrans appear to be
very fond of celebrations.
Today's Mass is special.
The remains of Venice's
patron saint, San Marco,
were discovered
in Rome last month.
Their whereabouts were
long lost after Armageddon,
but now, after all these centuries,
they can finally return home.
I wouldn't be surprised if they
belonged to some random person.
How rude! They've been thoroughly
examined by a professional,
and are being returned tonight
in the presence of His Holiness!
"His Holiness"?!
The Pope is here in Venice?!
Yes. Haven't you
read the papers?
As if I would ever read
Terran newspapers!
Bastard So that's
why he's in Venice
What time is the Mass?!
I believe it begins
at midnight-
Wait, Asta-san!
Where are you going?!
The Pope is in danger!
Huh?!
Enderle was banished for more
than just the slaughtering of Terrans.
His true crimes
were acts of treason!
He plotted an all-out conflict
between the Empire and the Vatican.
He intends to assassinate
the Pope to set it off!
If the Pope were assassinated
by a nobleman of the Empire,
it would lead to an all-out war!
Her Imperial Majesty does not wish that.
That is why I was sent
This is top-secret information
Terrans are not to know about!
And I just gave it away!
I-I'll inform His Holiness
and the others about this immediately-
No! Just knowing there was a plot
will create conflict between both sides!
Partner. We are the only ones
who can stop him!
- Is something the matter?
- No.
Don't take it personally.
Do you know how to pilot?
I know how to ride a bicycle
What?!
Wait!
Priest!
Dobitoc! Neputinta!
Prost! Farima!
I have no idea what you're shouting,
but I'm guessing they're insults!
The Vatican's 399th Pope,
Alessandro XVIII.
I am Enderle Kudza, Count of Zagreb,
of the New Human Empire.
Be a good boy
and give me your head!
You!
Thou should be the good boy
Enderle!
Enderle Kudza.
You're under arrest for murder.
W-why?!
We found a note in the deposit box
of the antique appraiser you killed.
It mentions he was threatened
into fabricating phony sacred relics.
So that you could use them
to lure His Holiness from Rome!
Surrender, fool! Thy brutality
has dug thee thine own grave!
There is no place to run!
Damn little girl
Get back here!
Enderle!
Oh, look.
It's this again.
Try swinging that spear.
You seem to have grown
a little wiser.
Your attacks have no effect on me,
as long as I have this Aegis Shield.
Drop your weapon.
I underestimated you
as a lone little girl.
The penalty for hindering my ambition
is severe, Astharoshe-kun.
I'm not alone.
And what dost thou mean,
"ambition"?
Thou sure talkest
high-and-mighty for a psychopath.
W-what?!
For a cowardly oaf,
thou certainly art full of thyself!
Thou actest like some kind
of artist, terrorizing humans!
Thou makest me laugh,
spineless pervert!
D-damn you
little girl!
Die!
Now!
A silver bullet.
Thou canst suffer
like that for a while.
To think he'd fall
for that kind of provocation
While that "shield" completely
protects from outside attacks,
it also requires the user
to temporarily lower it when attacking.
I'm glad it worked out.
I had faith in thee
tovaras.
Thanks for the help.
You're welcome.
Remember my face well.
When this land someday becomes
territory of the Empire,
I'll hire thee to remove fleas
from cats or something.
I look forward to it.
That concludes my report.
I believe the Count of Zagreb
will arrive in a day or two.
Well done.
Thank thee!
Incidentally,
Lady Odessa.
The "other side's" aide
you mentioned in your report
You seem to be
quite fond of him
N-not in the least!
He was simply of use as a Terran
If thou wish it, I can add
that part to my report
That will be unnecessary.
Now get some rest.
Understood!
He's the same as ever, I see
I know this will not remain forever
However,
it's beautiful
Your eyes, hands,
and your warm smile
They're my treasure
It's hard to forget
I wish there was a solution
Don't spend your time in confusion
I'll turn back now and spread
My broken wings- still strong enough
to cross the ocean with
My broken wings- how far
should I go drifting in the wind
Higher and higher in the light
(My broken wings)
Still strong enough
to cross the ocean with
My broken wings- how far
should I go drifting in the wind
Across the sky,
just keep on flying
(What's falling from the sky
is not rain )
