Trinity Blood (2005) s01e12 Episode Script
The Ibelis I. Evening Visitors
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
Assassination?
There are rumors
of a vampire group
intent on taking your life
during your travels abroad.
Your current visit to Carthage
places you quite near the Empire,
making it perfect
for them to take action.
Cease your tour
and return home immediately.
I appreciate your
advisement, Brother.
However, I cannot
do as you wish.
Uncle's incident in Rome
has really put the secular lords on edge.
This tour is meant to quell those concerns
on behalf of His Holiness.
If I dared to hastily return home
at a time like this
Your Eminence!
Afire has broken out
on the premises.
Sister Esther
is on her way there now.
Afire?!
Freeze!
Who are you?!
I said freeze, Terran!
Or do my words not make sense?!
A vampire?!
"Vampire"?!
Ignorant Terran!
A cowardly ape such as thou
wouldst call me a monster,
after I've come to deliver
an imperial decree?!
Did you say imperial decree?
Then does that mean
you're an Imperial-
Damn you, Terran!
Acest nebun!
A se face greseala!
The Vatican couldn't
be trusted after all!
Wait!
Stop shooting!
Target lost.
Stop orders received.
Your Eminence!
Your Eminence!
Are you all right?!
Yes
Ion.
Oh, it's thou, Radu
Where did you get that wound?!
Did you not meet with the Terran?!
The foolish Terran ignored me
and shot me with a silver bullet
Silver?!
It must be removed
immediately
Endure it,
tovaras.
Don't move.
Even a fire broke out,
of all things That's why they-
Don't speak.
Were it not for Her Majesty's orders,
I would've killed them all
Good work with the incident in Venice.
Our joint investigation with Asta-san
also formed ties with the Empire!
There's another one
Another chance to build relations
with the Empire has presented itself.
Eh?
It came in contact with us.
In the form of an imperial decree.
An imperial decree?
From the Empress?
Carthage is full
of Imperial dummy companies,
and their buildings
are used as a base.
So principles and business
are two separate things
Last night's vampire
is undoubtedly hiding out there.
Is what Sister Kate said, right?
Well, uhh, yes, but
Well then, Sister Esther.
Please remain on standby here.
Caterina-san let you accompany me
as contact personnel.
You're arresting a vampire, right?!
I'm not.
Then what are you going to do?!
I'm sorry. I can't talk about it
until the details become clear.
But you're dealing with vampires here!
It will turn into a fight!
In my five months of training,
I've learned how to cope with danger!
- I won't get in the way!
- Esther-san!
Just stay here. I'll contact you
if anything happens. Got that?
Carthage control tower.
This is aerial warship Raguel,
of the Vatican Inquisition Congregation.
We will be landing
at your airport.
It isn't festering. The bacillus
in your blood appears to be reactivating.
To think such a minor injury
could immobilize me
I feel almost
as frail as a Terran!
Silver is poison
to us Methuselahs
Just accept it and rest.
Now what?
The meeting was a failure.
Are you returning to the Empire
as soon as you're better?
For us imperial noblemen,
Her Majesty's orders are absolute.
So I will give it
another attempt.
Then there is something
I must tell you.
What is it?
That fire it may have been set
by imperial hard-liners.
Hard-liners?!
There exists a faction that frowns
on Her Majesty's imperial orders.
It's likely they set the fire when you
were about to meet the cardinal.
Then that is all the more reason
I must honor Her Majesty's will.
But you despise Terrans!
Surely you sympathize
with the hard-liners?
Imperial orders are
absolute and inviolable;
I cannot go against them.
All I can do is hmbly
carry them out.
Then I have nothing else to say.
Say, are you thirsty?
Oh, now that you mention it
I'll go make some.
We have been ordered here
by Cardinal Medici
to deal with the attack
on Your Eminence.
This is our first time
meeting like this.
I am the head of the Department
of Inquisition, Brother Petros.
This is my second-in-command,
Sister Paula.
The Knight of Destruction
and the Lady of Death, I do believe
Brother was certainly
thoughtful to send you
Thank you.
Still, three aerial warships
That's a bit much for a show of force.
With all due respect,
the attack on Your Eminence
poses a serious challenge
to the Vatican.
It's only proper that the full might
of the Dept. Of Inquisition be used.
As we already have a good idea
where the vampire is hiding out,
we will commence
our operation at once.
Where did you get this information?
I'm afraid I cannot answer that.
Naturally, Your Eminence's
safety is top priority.
Please wait in the
embassy for a while.
That was quick, Radu.
Didn't thou remember to add sugar?
Thy tastes are-
You're-
Filthy Terran!
Freeze.
You okay, Ion?!
Never mind me, Radu!
Talks with the Vatican
have broken down!
This is their answer!
Yes, it would seem so.
Drop the knife, please.
Father
You her accomplice?!
I am not here
to arrest you. Go o.
You disobeyed orders,
Esther-san.
I-I only
wanted to help you, Father
Selfish assistance is a real nuisance.
Keep that in mind from now on.
I will.
My apologies.
You're noblemen
of the Empire, yes?
I'm Abel Nightroad, a member
of a special branch of the Holy Office.
My superior, Cardinal Caterina Sforza,
has sent me to protect you.
Protect?!
I am Ion Fortuna
of the New Human Empire,
Childe of Moldova
and Count of Memphis.
I've come to deliver
an imperial decree.
I am the Baron of Luxor, Radu Barvon.
An Imperial investigator.
Imperial decree?
So I take it you're here
to meet my superior
at the negotiating table?
Yes, that was the idea.
But I cannot trust ye after all!
Ye fired upon me last night,
and today ye bargeth in here!
No, no, that was a mistake
on our part You see-
Look out!
Get down!
W-what was that?!
- It's the Department of Inquisition!
- The Department of Inquisition?!
No, Esther-san!
It's bright daylight outside!
The windows are shaded!
There is no need to worry!
Though, if we take a single step
outside dressed like this
this sunlight will burn us
to death immediately.
Is there any way out of here
that's away from sunlight?!
The underground waterway
leads to a coastal cave.
There's an escape boat ready there.
No, Radu!
We cannot trust them!
Your Lordship!
I swear that we-
Silence! Terrans are all the same!
They spout lies, then strike at us
when our guard is down!
Ion!
Do this, then. I will trust in them,
and you will trust in me.
Do as you like.
Then you two escape at once.
Sister Esther here will take you
to Cardinal Sforza.
Eh?! M-me?!
What about you?!
I'm going to hold back
the Dept. Of Inquisition.
All by yourself,
Father?!
I'll buy as much time as I can.
You keep them safe.
Understood! Please
be careful too, Father!
Priest! What are you doing here?!
Uhh, I was just thinking
about taking a swim!
Would you like to join me?
You do realize we are
the Department of Inquisition?
Oh, really?!
Thanks for working hard
on such a nice day as today!
- Seize him!
- Understood!
- Bastard!
- Stay still!
Wait, Deputy!
Chief!
Despite his appearance,
he is a dispatch executor.
Leave this to me.
You go search the premises.
Yes, sir
Your name, please.
I'm Abel Nightroad,
of the Holy Office.
And who might you be?
I am Petros, head of
the Department of Inquisition.
Some call me Brother Petros,
the Knight of Destruction.
At present, I am searching
for the one responsible
for the attack
on Cardinal Sforza.
As a member of the Vatican,
you'd be wise to assist in our holy duty.
- No thanks.
- What?
Unfortunately, I, too, am searching
for the one responsible.
I ask that you butt out of this.
Then you insist on deliberately
standing in our way?
The Lord guides me,
and my sword accompanies me!
As such, by the Lord's help,
I shall be victorious!
If you insist on obstructing
my divine duty, then I have no choice
but to walk over your corpse!
Prepare yourself, dispatch executor!
I thank you,
Nightroad or whatever.
I've always wanted to butt heads
with one of you dispatch executors!
Now!
Seize him!
Halt!
This is a divine duel
between just the two of us!
No one is to lay
a finger on him!
Umm, I appreciate you being fair,
but could we call it quits now?
There'd be no fun in getting injured
over something like this
- Frightened, Nightroad?!
- Eh?
- Enough talk! Have at you!
- Eh?!
Prepare to die!
Curse you, Nightroad!
Hold on, now!
Let's stop this already!
Quit scampering away
and fight me fairly!
Tovaras! Does your wound hurt?!
I'm all right.
Let's hurry ahead.
Will Father Nightroad
be all right?
T-this guy is insane!
Oh no!
- You did it!
- Well done, sir!
Yes.
He couldn't have survived that fall.
What a reckless fool,
taking on the chief like that!
That's enough!
He, too, lived for God
and the Church.
Forgiving his actions and praying
for his soul after battle
is the very duty
of those who serve God.
Now then, everyone!
Resume the search!
Hunt down the accursed vampire
that attacked the cardinal!
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 )
