Trinity Blood (2005) s01e15 Episode Script

1
I listen to a boring song
as I stare out the window
Let me don a dress
and dance for you
Am I insane?
Please tell me
Someday, the wind
will take me away
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
So this is the New Human
Empire's capital, Byzantium
What do you think, Esther?
Isn't our imperial capital beautiful?!
Yes! Very!
And that's the famous Lapis Lazuli
Wall that blocks sunlight
Yes.
It's comprised of fine, mist-like
particles that protect us Methuselahs
by reflecting back
the sun's ultraviolet rays.
I've finally returned! I never
suspected it would take so long!
We should feel lucky
we made it all in one piece
Yes.
Young master.
We'll soon pass the wall
and arrive at the capital.
Mimar. I'm truly
in your debt.
Not at all. I just happened to be
on my way back to the capital, too
I'm delighted I'm able to return
even a fraction of the favor
the Duchess of Moldova
showed me long ago!
Right! I won't forget
your kindness!
Why don't you stop by? Grandmother
would surely love to see you!
Thank you. But I'm afraid
I have cargo to unload
Oh. That's too bad.
My deepest apologies.
Don't worry about it! We're the ones
riding on your cargo ship.
Please forgive our
heedless selfishness.
Young master.
You've changed a bit.
I have?
Yes. You're somehow
more mild-mannered.
That's possible. A lot
did happen in the Outer World
Your Lordship!
We're going into the wall!
Y-yes!
Say, what happened to him?
Father Nightroad
What is it this time?!
W-well, I couldn't
stave off my hunger,
so I dug for scraps
in the kitchen garbage can
Then my stomach suddenly
hurt for some reason
Pull yourself together, Father!
Sheesh
Father?!
Esther-san
lf If I wind up
in the great beyond
Please bury me on a hill
with a view of the sea
I'll watch over you
from there
It's just food poisoning!
Please quit dramatizing
everything! Honestly!
E- Esther-san!
Could you please not sound
so pathetic! Yeesh
You're not a kid. Here,
I'll go get you some medicine.
I appreciate it
Well, we must be going now.
Right. I pray for the success
of your business.
U-uhh, young master
Umm P-please, be careful.
Right!
Umm Is all of this part
of your grandmother's mansion?
But of course!
This is the official residence
of Mirka Fortuna, Duchess of Moldova
and member of the
Imperial Privy Council.
I'm going to explain everything
to my grandmother,
then have her arrange a secret
meeting with Her Majesty.
I should be granted
an audience in a day or two.
Then that means
Yes. My journey
with you will be over.
That's a relief!
To be honest, this mission's
importance had me so nervous
Say, Esther
Yes?
Would you If it's not a problem
for you, would you, umm
Once this is over
Would you want to
Would you want to stay here
in the Empire, with me-
I'm drowning!
Save me!
W-what are you doing?!
Come on, now!
Hold onto me, Father!
I'm sorry, Your Lordship.
No, that's all right.
The mansion is managed by automata.
Have them give you
a change of clothes.
Sorry to burden you
Grandmother! 'Tis Ion!
I've just returned!
What is all this?!
Oh, no!
Grandmother!
Grandmother! Where are you?!
Grandmother!
Grandmother!
Damn you!
He has a vampire's speed
Your Lordship!
Are you all right?!
Esther!
Esther. My grandmother
My grandmother
Your Lordship!
Esther-san!
- What just happened?
- This.
Bombs. They were
planted on their bodies.
Your Lordship.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
But my grandmother was-
This looks bad.
We're surrounded.
Eh?
- The Yeniceri
- "Yeni?"
Her Imperial Majesty's
personal soldiers.
Oh! 'Tis you,
Lord Baybars!
Perfect timing!
My mansion
My grandmother-
Ion Fortuna,
Count of Memphis!
In the name of the Empire
and Her Imperial Majesty,
you are under arrest!
You are charged with murdering
the Duchess of Moldova
and setting her
residence on fire!
Give yourself up quietly!
You think I did this?!
Absurd! There were already bandits
in the mansion when I returned!
Oh? Then where are
these bandits of yours?
Besides, you are Her Imperial
Majesty's official envoy!
Why would you sneak into the capital
city without giving any word?!
Why did you not go directly
to the imperial palace?
W-well
How do I put this
It appears your
secret is out now.
Give yourself up quietly,
or I will cut you down here!
Cut me down?!
You'll cut me down?!
Don't spout nonsense
while framing someone, you cur!
Your Lordship?!
Don't do it, Your Lordship!
What a pity.
A few more centuries of training
and you could've been very skillful.
This fight is over.
You lose, boy.
Die a noble death.
- Your Lordship!
- Esther-san! Get back!
Your Lordship!
Let's escape!
Escape?!
You won't be able to clear
your name if you get killed here!
So you've fled
Dance expertly, boy.
Welcome home, Mistress.
Yes.
You were gone quite long today.
Were you at the imperial palace?
Her Majesty summoned me
as I was about to leave.
Might it have been related
to your work in the Outer World?
I'm impressed you
figured that out, old man.
Envoys from the Vatican
will soon be coming to the capital.
I was secretly told
to take them in.
Apparently, Her Majesty sent
a secret envoy to the Outer World
some months ago.
That envoy will be returning
shortly with envoys from there.
My mission is to protect them.
What do you suppose
it is all for?
I don't know.
But you were the first to form ties
between the Terrans and the Empire.
The situation was likely deemed
too important for me to know.
Old man. Are we supposed
to have guests today?
No
I see.
Are you all right, Father?!
Freeze, all of you!
This is the manor
of the Duchess of Kiev!
Those who trespass upon
this land must be prepared to-
Umm, hi! It's good
to see you again, Asta-san!
You!
Old man! Prepare
things for our guests!
Huh? Understood!
Now, then! What
is the meaning of this?
I look forward to a very
good explanation, my tovaras!
I feel like I'm in Heaven
But what odd water this is.
I wonder why it's so white?
It's our secret
family bath additive.
It's myrrh and marigold oil
dissolved in sea hare milk cream.
It works wonders
when you're exhausted.
D- Duchess!
L- I'm sorry! I'll, uhh,
get out right away!
- 'Tis all right.
- Eh?
Whether you're a Methuselah
or a Terran, you're still my guest.
Relax all you like.
Thank you!
If I remember correctly, you're-
My name is Esther Blanchett.
So you're Father Nightroad's colleague?
That must be really tough
No Well Yes.
Umm You and Father Nightroad
What sort of acquaintances are you?
Concerned?
No, it's not like that!
I'm only-
I really owe him a lot.
I went to the Outer World
on an imperial mission a while back,
and he helped me out a lot.
And that's why
you're helping us?
There's that, but Her Majesty
also gave me a new assignment today
to protect Vatican envoys
that would soon be coming here.
- The empress did?
- Yes.
That means it's almost as if
she knew what would happen to us
I don't understand anything, either.
But Her Majesty sees through
everything in the Empire.
It may be that you were part
of what she foresaw.
She is the eternal empress
and mother of us Methuselahs.
She ruled in the past, the present,
and will rule forever into the future.
If Her Majesty ordered it, I would
give my life to protect you all.
Well, you should probably
get out too, before you get dizzy.
R-right!
Is that a battle scar?
I'm impressed a Terran
could survive such an injury
Eh? Oh, this is a birthmark.
Birthmark?
'Tis a very well-defined star.
You still have not found the Count
of Memphis or the Vatican envoys?
No, though we are currently
scouring the city.
We will find them
in a day or two.
Well, no matter. Things
are proceeding as planned.
Thank you.
You may rest now.
Who goes there?
I got the feeling I wouldn't be able
to see you via ordinary means,
so please forgive my rudeness.
ATerran?
Who are you?
I am Father Abel,
of the Vatican's Holy Office.
Oh! Then I see my personal
message arrived safely!
But do you not
have anything to say
about the Moldova manor
incident, man of the Vatican?
First, there is one thing
I'd like an answer to.
Who are you?
What?
What an odd thing to say.
I am the Empire's sole master,
Augusta Vradica!
Truly? Are you
truly the empress?
What are you trying to say?
No, what exactly do you know?
I bring news!
There are signs that someone
has infiltrated the-
Who are you, outsider?!
There is no escape!
Stop, Baybars!
He must not be killed!
Could that man have been-
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 )
