How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord (2018) s01e12 Episode Script

The day has finally come!
Time for the resurrection!
[FALLEN ARMY murmur]
[EURELEX]
It is wonderful!
Krebskulm
is emerging into
the true
Demon Lord at last!
Hmm?
[EURELEX]
A mortal.
What brings
this one here?
She's the one
who developed the plan.
We have her to thank.
At least, I think.
--[EURELEX] What?
--Hello, Alicia.
And welcome back.
I think that went well.
I was able to create
a special friend for Krebskulm,
and then forced her to watch
as the girl was murdered.
You made her feel hate.
Wow. Well done.
[ALICIA] Soon,
the mortal races will perish.
We'll make way for perfection
and put an end
to this ugly world.
[CELES] I will not allow
this barrier to break!
A horde of
Fallen to the west.
The Demon Lord
to the north.
[SYLVIE]
Good evening, Galford.
[GALFORD]
Hmm?
I've been looking
everywhere for you.
[GALFORD]
Don't you see we are at war?
This is no time
to plan an adventure.
Not like I'm
asking you to play D&D.
It's about
the magic circle.
Could you guys
leave it alone for us?
[GALFORD]
What for?
Because Diablo's
on his way there right now.
Just try not to interfere.
Let him
do his thing, okay?
This is about
an Adventurer?
[DIABLO]
Klem! Look at my face!
You know me!
[roars]
She's lost
all sense of reason.
Perhaps she's
forgotten who I am.
Then I'll have to
force her to remember!
[roars]
[DIABLO grunts]
[growls]
[TAKUMA]
You're gonna regret this
when I save
you and Rem!
[SHERA panting]
[SHERA]
Rem!
[roars]
[DIABLO grunts]
[TAKUMA] These blows
aren't too hard to dodge,
but her power's
pretty massive.
It'll probably
make the most sense
to keep my distance
and activate my powerful spells.
The outer walls and barrier
tower are too close.
If I wanna
protect the city
I have to restrain
my area of effect!
Eleven more to go!
[roars]
[DIABLO]
Volcanic Wall!
[TAKUMA]
That was close!
Is that Darkness Breath?
[gasps]
[DIABLO]
Magic Reflection.
You might recognize it
from the battle with Eulerex.
[roars]
[TAKUMA] Crap! Her magic
defense is way too high!
Wake up! You can't die yet--
you're finally free!
You can do whatever
you want in life!
Please, Rem!
Please, answer me.
Dear Gods!
Please don't take
Rem away from me!
[yelps]
[coughs]
[SHERA gasps]
Shera?
--[SHERA] Rem!
--[REM] Ow!
Get your elf sacks
outta my face!
[SHERA gasps]
Sorry!
I'm just glad
you're awake!
How did all of this
even happen?
[gasps]
Alicia. Two-faced botch.
[SHERA]
Huh?
[REM] She was scheming
the entire time.
She wanted the Demon Lord
to resurrect for real.
[SHERA]
But that would mean
[REM] that she was
a Demon Lord worshiper.
She forced Klem to witness
things that were devastating
so she'd be
overcome with hate.
Hatred's the key
to awakening
the true form
of the Demon Lord.
That's awful. Poor Klem.
What are all those?
[SHERA]
Diablo gave them to me
so that I could
use them to heal you.
That's all he had on him.
[gasps]
He doesn't have any?!
So he's fighting
the Demon Lord right now
without any way to recover?
[TAKUMA]
Six more left.
[DIABLO grunts]
[TAKUMA]
Is this even in the rules?
Thank goodness
I'm a level 150!
Or I'd be so
dead right now!
[gasps]
[TAKUMA] I gave Shera
all my potions, didn't I?
[roars]
[TAKUMA] Back when
I was playing solo,
I never used any
of my items on other people
and I never ran out.
I'm not sure how to deal.
[BOTH whimper]
[roars]
--[SHERA screams]
--[EMILE] I'm here!
[grunts]
[SHERA gasps]
Emile?
[EMILE groans]
[chuckles]
[roars]
[DIABLO] I'm gonna need
new pants after this!
[grunts]
This is 13.
Hello!
[DIABLO]
Emile?
Not to worry,
I took Rem and Shera
out of harm's way!
Go get her, friend!
[DIABLO] Hmph! That was
surprisingly quite helpful.
As a reward, I'll allow you
to observe my Grand Magic!
It's been hard to fight
while keeping her
within the range
of effectiveness.
But this blow should be
enough to wake you up, Klem!
Hold on!
Apocalypse Abyss!
Come forth!
[EMILE gasps]
Move it, nerd!
[roars]
[growls]
[EMILE]
Mother of ren fairs!
How is she still alive
after that blow?
You still wanna fight me?
--[SHERA] Klem!
--[DIABLO gasps]
Klem! Hey!
Klem!
Stop that!
[growls]
[DIABLO gasps]
[TAKUMA]
Come on!
[growls]
[REM]
It's me!
I'm okay. They didn't kill me.
Please come back to us.
Let's have a cookie
dunking party together!
[DIABLO growls]
I know that hurt you,
but everything's okay now.
We miss you Klem.
Come home.
--[cracks]
--[BOTH gasp]
[CELES sighs]
[pants]
Does that mean it's over?
[EMILE gasps]
You're here.
You're really alive.
Yes, I am. Welcome back.
I know you're
super mad at me
and I'm so sorry.
I feel terrible for
breaking my promise to you.
When I thought
they killed you,
I couldn't help it.
My world turned red
and I wanted to hurt them.
[REM]
It doesn't matter anymore.
And I don't care
who disapproves.
You can count on me to
have your back from now on.
[GROUP giggles]
[EMILE gasps]
So that monster
turned into a little girl?
Looks like it.
Listen
[EMILE]
Hmph. Don't you worry.
I am an ally
of all women.
I may not
understand them,
but I will not stand
to see them cry.
[chuckles]
I'm starting to believe
you mean that.
[groans]
[EMILE] Whoa, there!
Are you all right?
[DIABLO]
I'm great.
[TAKUMA] That's a lie.
But I can't let them see me
on the verge of collapsing.
Her presence looks different.
Is seems a bit smaller.
Is it?
It is.
[EURELEX]
What is the meaning of this?
Edelgard, this is the
second time you've failed.
Not only did you
align yourself with a Human,
but you've wasted the time
of countless Fallen.
You will take
responsibility for this!
[FALLEN ARMY growl]
[ALICIA growls]
When I give the signal,
you run to the city.
--[gasps]
--[EDELGARD] Hah!
[SYLVIE]
Hey, Diab-bro!
Way to crack a Demon!
Couldn't have
done it without the info
I received
from the Guild.
Congrats, you've finally
proven yourself useful.
[SYLVIE] And you finally
protected our city.
Also, I'm just gonna ask this
while the graveyard
is sealed off.
Is that the Demon Lord
with a cookie in her mouth?
[GROUP gasps]
[SYLVIE]
Yeah, that's not gonna work.
I can't have
free-range Demon Lords.
I've got mortals up in here
I gotta keep safe.
It's part of the whole
"master of the Adventurer's
Guild" thing.
Are you saying
you'll fight me?
[SYLVIE] Put your gloves
away, bro, I trust you.
It's the one with a goal
to wipe out all mortals
that's a little concerning.
No, she would never
do anything like that!
Not in front of Deeb-Town.
But if it wasn't for him,
she'd have destroyed
this entire city!
There's a huge army
of Fallen approaching
from the west as we speak.
--[SHERA and REM gasp]
--I didn't summon them here!
Never said you did.
So why was that
your immediate assumption?
[DIABLO growls]
[TAKUMA]
Now what?
She's not wrong
about any of this, but
[gasping]
[DIABLO gasps]
--Hey, Klem.
--Huh?
Tell me something.
Would you like to live
in the city with Rem and Shera?
Yes.
Then listen
to what I have to say.
There's a way for you
to eat cookies freely,
without having to fear
that Adventurers
will hunt you down.
[SYLVIE]
Why are you feeding her
a bunch of
fake news right now?
[REM]
That stone
[SYLVIE]
A magic stone of pact?
Listen.
I can cast
an Enslavement Spell.
You could become
one of my servants.
What?!
Why would I
wanna be a slave?
That's right!
It sounds weird,
but hear him out!
Once you're under the spell,
you'll belong to me.
And you would trust me
to guide someone, wouldn't you?
I mean, sure, but,
I don't know if that counts!
[KREBSKULM]
Hmm. Enslaved, though?
I promise, it's okay!
Rem and I are technically
Diablo's slaves,
but it's not like anyone's
giving him pedicures.
Um, but,
once you become a slave,
you're not allowed to do
whatever you want anymore,
right?
He isn't gonna take
away your freedom.
You can trust me, Klem.
[KREBSKULM]
Hmm.
I believe you!
I grant you
permission to use
your enslavement
ritual--spell--thing!
[whimpering]
Carrots!
[EMILE gasps]
[chuckles]
I command you
in the name of Diablo.
Heed my call.
Surrender to me.
And obey me.
[DIABLO whimpers]
[GALFORD] The Demon Lord
hasn't resurrected,
and the Fallen
have withdrawn.
Is this all thanks
to that Demon?
Sho' nuff!
All right, is there
anything else you feel
might be important enough
to discuss with me
at this time?
Hmm, I don't know.
I mean, I figured you already.
heard about the big reveal.
Your info-network
is legit, am I right?
[GALFORD sighs]
We'll just have to
keep a close eye on them
from a distance.
That doesn't
mean we shouldn't
keep our guard up though!
Anyway, I got a guild to master!
[door clacks]
[sighs]
I never thought our city
would one day
be saved by a Demon.
[SHERA]
What's wrong?
Why do you have
your pouty pants
on again, huh, Diablo?
Well, because I have
peered into an abyss
that the likes of you
could not hope to imagine.
[SHERA]
That sounds amazing!
--What's an abyss?
--[DIABLO grunts]
[TAKUMA]
That! That's an abyss!
Not a real one.
He's just using the word
to describe something
deep and endless.
Oh.
[REM] I'm sure he's wiped
after saving me and Klem,
and performing a ritual.
So just let him chill.
Yeah, you say that,
but once I leave him alone,
you'll turn around
and pounce on him.
I can if I want to.
Huh?
[SHERA] Hey, Klem! Why don't
you come join us!
Are you sure you guys don't
mind hanging out with me?
Why not?
[KREBSKULM] Because
I've killed mortals, remember?
I even tried to kill
all of you at one point.
Don't you think
I'm dangerous?
Don't worry about
what Sylvie said.
She doesn't know anything.
--[KREBSKULM] I guess.
--Hold on, go back.
[KREBSKULM gasps]
You were really
trying to kill me?
Come on,
with those puny attacks?
I'm the true Demon Lord here.
Don't forget that.
[gasps]
I won't!
[giggles]
[TAKUMA] Honestly,
I'm more freaked out about
sleeping with them
than I am about
fighting a Demon Lord.
I still can't get used to it.
[KREBSKULM]
Oh, the lights!
[SHERA]
I'll turn this one off.
Rem, can you get the other?
[REM]
Mm-hmm.
--Time to sleep!
--[DIABLO grunts]
--[door slams]
--[SHERA gasps]
[ALICIA pants]
[SHERA whimpers]
--What're you doing here?!
--I should ask you!
How are you
even still alive?
[growls]
[KREBSKULM]
You've got some balls
showing your face
around here again.
Let go of Shera so I can
properly rip you to shreds.
I'll do as you ask, but first,
I have some business
to complete.
After which I hope
you will do your worst to me.
Right.
[ALICIA]
I've heard that the Demon Lord
has the ability to heal
the wounds of the Fallen.
Yeah, so, what's your point?
Could you
please come with me?
[REM]
What happened to her?
[ALICIA]
The other Fallen punished her.
They attacked after hearing
that our plan to resurrect
Krebskulm and exterminate
the mortal races failed.
[DIABLO]
That makes sense.
I figured something was up.
It struck me as strange when
we met her at Starfall Tower.
She never asked
who you were or questioned
why we brought
a Knight with us.
Is that because
you were working together
from the very beginning?
Yes, you are correct.
[sighs]
I beg you.
Have your way with me,
but please save Edelgard!
Do you really think
I'd do a favor
for someone who
almost had Rem killed?
I don't know.
What do you think, Diablo?
Help her.
Okay. If you're sure.
[gasps]
[REM]
Whoa! That was quick!
[EDELGARD]
You're the Demon Lord?
--[KREBSKULM] Sure.
--[EDELGARD gasps] Thank you!
I am overcome with
gratitude for helping me!
I must know.
Are you going to be staying
in your original form for good?
Yes, there are people
I care about here
who risked their lives
to free me from that prison.
Wow. They did?
[KREBSKULM]
Don't you feel trapped?
More confused.
Fallen are
supposed to kill mortals.
So I do.
But I don't
understand why, ya know?
[KREBSKULM] Yeah,
it doesn't make any sense.
Which is why I've decided
to stay in the human city.
That and the cookies, obviously.
If killing and hating
is making you sad,
then knock it off.
Disobey me if you want,
but if you do,
I'll no longer consider
you my follower.
[gasps]
[EDELGARD]
You have my word. I'll stop.
[sighs]
[SHERA whimpers]
Thank you for
sparing her life.
As promised, you may do
with me as you wish.
How does an
Imperial Knight decide
to throw it all
away to become
a Demon Lord worshiper?
Easily.
Have you never wished
all of humanity would die?
You've never once thought "I
wish I could kill the bastard"?
[TAKUMA]
Only every day of my life.
[REM]
I mean, that's a little extra,
but everyone does a tap dance
on my nerves daily.
What happened to you?
Let's see
If I could name
one specific incident,
maybe it would've
been easier to handle.
I don't remember a time
when I wasn't exposed
to the darker side of people.
They were greedy,
self-centered, and entitled.
They pretended to be good.
Imperial Knights,
nobles, the emperor,
and even my parents
were all the same.
They forced their own
nonsensical righteousness
on everyone.
It was so fake
and manipulative
that I could
never accept it.
I believed
there was no place
for me in this world.
I was alone with only
a learned hatred
in my heart.
[TAKUMA]
We're the same.
I played solo all my life
and had nowhere to fit in.
I didn't care to see
the outside world.
I wanted to know
and understand others,
but I never wanted them
to understand me,
because I felt like a monster.
Just like her.
[ALICIA]
Demon Lord, are you determined
not to eradicate
the mortal races?
[KREBSKULM]
Lock that up, already.
I don't hate mortals
as much as you do,
and I haven't
given up on them.
I understand.
Then, I guess
I don't really have
another option in front of me.
--[SHERA gasps]
--Okay, that's a bit much!
[ALICIA]
I've betrayed all of you,
and I don't expect
to be forgiven.
I'll do us all
a favor and end it.
--Wait!
--[ALICIA] Don't try to stop me!
--[gasps]
--I know I'm not normal!
I don't care if you understand!
It doesn't matter!
Even if I lived,
I'd always be alone!
[ALL]
Stop!
[ALICIA gasps]
[ALL gasp]
[ALICIA gasps]
[DIABLO] Is it really
necessary to be this stubborn?
[ALICIA gasps]
I told you from
the very beginning,
that I need you to relax.
What does that have
to do with anything?
I used Rem and injured her.
I risked her life
to achieve my goals!
That's not a sin
I can atone for!
Death's not
a way of atonement!
Don't be so naïve!
[ALICIA gasps]
I-I'm not, I
I tried to wipe out
the mortal races
while serving
as an imperial knight!
So what?
Who put you in that role?
The emperor? The Nobles?
Your parents?
What loyalty do you have
to a position forced on you
by worthless people?
[ALICIA whimpers]
[DIABLO] Stop wasting your
life and just be yourself!
[ALICIA]
I don't know how.
Quit getting
hung up on expectations.
Try living your life for you.
Learn the lessons
you were taught
and forgive yourself.
Help when someone needs you
because you care.
Not because of what
you might gain.
Be true to yourself
and you'll find
where you belong.
That's how it was for me.
[gasping]
Choosing to die because you
don't want to be alone
is illogical and idiotic.
Death is pretty lonely!
You can take
the easy way out.
Just know that
if you try that
I will be there
to show you true fear.
If I stay
do you really believe
there's somewhere I'll fit in?
Who would accept someone
whose soul is as ugly as mine?
--Your soul's so not ugly.
--[ALICIA sobs]
And you wouldn't
have come here
if your heart wasn't pure.
You risked your life.
Just so that you could ask
for your partner to be healed.
I get it.
I felt alone before I met
Diablo and Shera, too.
I definitely hated you
for the terror
you put us through.
But now,
you've opened up
and told us how you feel.
So I think I'm ready
to forgive you.
Don't let your true self
get lost in isolation.
Thanks, Rem.
I'm trying, but I've just been
playing a part for so long.
Tell me about it!
[ALL]
Huh?
[DIABLO]
The good news is,
you can decide to stop!
It's the start of a new life.
Right here and right now.
[SHERA]
Hmm.
Look at you being
all motivational.
I love it when you whip out
"Wise Ol' Demon Sage!"
Me, too.
--[gasps]
--[DIABLO groans]
--[SHERA] Diablo!
--[ALICIA] Are you okay?
[DIABLO]
My stupid Magic Points.
That's okay,
I know how to use my powers
to re-energize you now.
--Are you ready?
--[DIABLO grunts]
Good idea!
If we combine our powers,
he'll recharge faster!
[REM] Way to put
the pressure on, Klem.
I guess it
wouldn't kill me
to help this once.
Considering he did give me
all his healing potions.
You too, twin-tails!
--Strip!
--[EDELGARD gasps]
I'm helping out, too.
It's the very least I can do.
[groans]
[ALL]
We're all here for you!
[giggle]
[DIABLO grunts]
[SHERA]
Oh, no, he fainted!
[REM] What are we
supposed to do with that?
Wake up!
[MEI]
Come back again soon, okay?
Meow!
[ALICIA] Well, then. I guess
I'll be heading off now,
my friends.
[gasps]
I wish you well.
[gasps]
[ALICIA]
You, too.
[BOY laughing]
[grunts]
[ALICIA]
That should do it.
It feels better.
Thank you!
[sighs]
[SHERA]
You picked last time!
We're having fruit tonight!
--[REM] Meat!
--[SHERA] Fruit!
--[REM] Fruit makes you gassy!
--[TAKUMA sighs]
Some things don't change.
[DIABLO grunts]
[BOTH growl]
What now?
[REM] We need to know
which team you're on.
I'm not doing this.
[SHERA whines]
Please?
Huh?
[SHERA] Then kiss
who you think is right.
[gasps]
[SHERA]
You kissed Klem!
I know it was for a ritual,
but it's more than I got.
Yeah, you should've asked us
to close our eyes.
It was pretty rude
to do it in front of us.
Shera and I have been with you
for way longer than Cookie-Klem.
So we're in a fight
until you decide
you can go further with us.
[grunts]
Go ahead.
Choose one.
You're both ridiculous!
I'm not playing
this stupid game!
[SHERA]
Aw, why not?
Because I don't have to!
I'm Diablo, the Demon Lord
and I do what I want!
[BOTH gigle]
