Trinity Blood (2005) s01e18 Episode Script
The Night Lords IV. The Palace of Jade
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
I'm on your side
She's been hiding something
very important from you, you know.
Her family was murdered by a Methuselah.
I've never once thought
of you as a monster!
Her Majesty!
Fare forth!
We must hurry to the mausoleum, too.
Where?! From where will you strike, Radu?!
Now what do I do?!
"We're going to kill the empress"
Radu!
The Count of Memphis?!
You traitor!
Too bad, Ion.
You've just branded yourself a traitor.
What?
You will now die for your
attempted assassination of the empress,
and I will hold back my tears
as I cut down my dear old friend.
Isn't that such a moving story?
Damn you! How far will you go?!
Goodbye
my tovaras!
Ion Run!
Radu?!
Stop Her Majesty
This is a trap
They T-t-the Orden
That's enough chit-chat, Flamberg.
Honestly, you just don't know
when to give up
Sorry for the slight delay, Count.
Radu?
Your Lordship!
Esther?!
Run, Your Lordship!
Esther!
Should you really be
worrying about others?
That is enough.
There are many things
I must ask those people.
Take them to the palace
and imprison them.
As you wish.
But, Your Majesty
Do you object, Baron of Luxor?
No. As you wish.
Let go! You've got it all wrong!
This is a conspiracy!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Someone intends to kill you,
Your Majesty!
Silence, traitor!
Esther-san!
No!
You're just going to abandon them?!
If they're to be interrogated,
they won't be executed immediately!
Calm yourself, priest!
What must we do now?!
The Moldova mausoleum
should be up ahead.
Your Majesty! No!
Her Majesty Our queen
How can this be?! Her Majesty,
no longer of this world?!
What will become of the Empire now?!
Isn't it an odd feeling?
Something that has always existed
since your birth, suddenly gone
But there is no turning back now.
I must lead this realm,
for the sake of all Methuselah’s.
What's the situation?
The palace is under lockdown.
The Duchess of Kiev's
whereabouts are unknown,
but that conversely means
she cannot interfere with us.
And the count and the Terran girl?
They are being held in the dungeon.
They have yet to be interrogated.
We cannot afford to
have them divulge too much.
Right now, we must avoid garnering
the suspicion of the nobles.
The dead cannot speak
Not now. If they die inside the palace,
everyone will suspect an insider.
Yes. Assuming they
were "murdered", that is.
Sounds like you have an idea
Leave it to me. In the meantime,
please take the throne, Your Majesty.
It's no use
Your Lordship! Please don't lose heart!
'Tis all my fault. I was such a fool
I was unable to save Her Majesty,
and got you involved
I'm on your side!
It's like I said before.
I'm on your side! No matter what!
Esther Why are you so kind to me?
Didn't a Methuselah murder your family?
There was a time
when I hated Methuselah’s.
And they hated Terrans.
But if we keep hating and
killing each other, it will never end.
I like you, Your Lordship!
I'm sure I'd like the Duchess of Kiev
and your grandmother, too!
Y-yes You're right
You probably would have
I think we can get along very well!
I don't mean Methuselah’s and Terrans,
I mean, it's hard to say, but
No, I understand. I feel the same way.
My, you sure seem in high spirits.
Her Majesty would never die in such a way.
She's supposed to protect
the Empire for all eternity
Say, priest. Do you have any water?
Water? There's some all around us
You want me to drink this gutter water?!
What I want is drinking water
to dissolve this in!
I didn't bring a water flask!
Never mind! My thirst is suddenly gone!
Asta-san!
Careful! We're surrounded!
An ambush?!
It would seem we've been anticipated
Dobitoc!
I'll act as a diversion!
Hurry to the palace!
But, Asta-san!
Only you can save the girl and the kid!
Asta-san
I am Astharoshe Asran,
Duchess of Kiev! Have at you!
Damn you!
What side of you is here now,
you lowly scum?!
Oh, my. How terrible, Ion.
Do you realize what you've done?!
I simply dethroned an empress
who had grown addicted to peace.
Give me a break A world
where humans and vampires coexist?
Radu! How can you think that way?!
You still haven't realized?
I am not Radu.
What?!
He's right, Your Lordship!
Imperial noblemen never
refer to themselves as "vampires"!
Who are you?!
Ah, you really are wonderful.
I like you very much, Esther.
Dietrich?!
None other. It's been a while.
Esther! What is this?!
What is Radu talking about?!
You catch on slowly.
I already told you, I'm not Radu.
I am Dietrich Von Lohengrin.
The Rosen Kreuz Orden's "Puppet Master".
Your friend is long dead.
I am simply using his repaired body.
Just like in a puppet show.
A puppet show? Then that was-
Damn you!
How dare you do that to my friend!
You'll pay for this!
Your Lordship!
Your Lordship!
Your Lordship! Hold on!
It's alright, Esther. He's a vampire.
He won't die that easily.
Oh no My blood
Your Lordship?
Your Lordship! Your Lordship!
That's the infamous "thirst".
It's my present to my tovaras
E-Esther
Kill me
Quickly!
W-what?!
There's no time
Do it, while I'm still me
Your Lordship?!
That was a special bullet
that switches on the "thirst"
by directly affecting the bacillus
in a vampire's bloodstream.
He'll soon be taken over by
vampiric impulses and become a monster
to make up his lost blood.
Your Lordship Your Lordship!
Don't worry, Esther.
I'll give you a chance to survive.
A silver sword,
capable of killing vampires.
Yes. You are going to kill each other.
Just how far will you go?!
Well, I'd love to stay 'til the end,
but I still have important work to do.
I must be going.
I love you, Esther.
Wait!
Dietrich!
Esther
Kill me
Your Lordship!
Your-
Kill me!
No I can't!
Please!
I beg you, Esther!
For my sake
This is for my sake!
Please
I beg you
Your Lordship
I can't do it, Your Lordship
Kill me
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 wing show 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 wing show far should I go
drifting in the wind
Across the sky, just keep on flying
(What's falling from the sky is not rain )
