Trinity Blood (2005) s01e21 Episode Script

The Throne of Roses II. The Refuge

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
"We can no longer put up with
the Albion government's oppression,
which has gone on for centuries."
"We hereby declare our
independence from the government,
and make the following demands
of the Albion government."
"One: Guaranteed safety of all
Methuselah’s residing in the Ghetto."
"Two: Assistance with taking
asylum in the New Human Empire."
"Three: An official announcement
to the international community
that Methuselah’s contributed
to Albion's prosperity."
If this gets out, Albion will be
subjected to worldwide criticism
If I'm not mistaken,
you understood more than anyone
the risk of this prosperity, as well
as Albion's present predicament
Never mind the criticism.
After all, they still haven't
managed to capture the pope
If we can take him into custody first,
we might have a chance
I was unable to keep them suppressed
To think the absence of royalty
would prove so daunting
The late queen was indeed a great person.
However, assuaging our mutual fears
by force will only cause rifts.
The times are changing now.
I will protect Albion until
this "star" of yours is found.
Continue your negotiations with them.
As you wish.
How can this be?!
That passage isn't in use anymore!
Only members of the Walsh house
should know about it!
No Could it be them?!
Thank you for showing the way.
We can handle the rest from here.
Your Holiness!
Eh?!
- I'm coming for you!
- Eh?!
Sheesh. Talk about
no sense of cooperation
Just making it this far
with them is a miracle in itself.
Though it does look like it'd be best
to split up and search now
Yeah. Well, I'm countin' on you guys!
Leon-san
You still can't find the pope?!
How can one kid be such a problem?!
Intruders detected!
They're from the Vatican
Secure the pope before they do!
Scour the city completely!
- Understood!
- Understood!
- Understood!
There's a transmission from Virgil-sama,
requesting negotiations.
Tell him he can go eat shit!
We will break out of here!
Where am I?!
I'm completely lost now
Those people were angry I wonder why?
A-a city?!
Who are you, Mister?
Mister!
What's wrong, Mister?!
Mister!
Someone! Someone come here!
Are you awake?
Stop that, Angelica! What're you doing?!
Sorry. We didn't mean to frighten you.
I hear this girl scared you?
Come now, Angelica.
I'm sorry
You're the pope of the Vatican, right?
U-uhh Are you all vampires too?
Well, I suppose you could say that.
Though we don't like
to be called vampires
This is a Methuselah city.
We create precision machines
and drugs for the Terrans.
Oh
It looks like you've gotten
caught up in our trouble. I'm sorry.
Are you
Don't worry. We're not with the rebels.
We won't hold you captive.
Thank goodness
We're not scary!
Stop that, Angelica!
But
What Vanessa says
does make sense, though
We really don't like being locked up
and used however they see fit.
You've been here all this time?
Since our ancestors,
for hundreds of years
We're the ones behind Albion's prosperity.
We can't go anywhere,
and our lots in life are determined
from the moment we're born.
That's just too much to bear!
I guess there's no way to
understand with just words.
Just relax for now and have some of that.
Are you scared?
We are, too
If all the Terrans above attacked us,
we would be wiped out in no time.
If we resisted with force,
they'd just strike back twice as hard.
The only choice then would be
to continue fighting
until either we or the Terrans
are completely destroyed.
It's delicious!
Your Holiness! Your Holiness!
What do I do?
I'm supposed to protect His Holiness
Oww! W-what is this?
Oh, my. I've caught quite the lovely prey.
Who's there?!
Dietrich?!
What are you doing here?!
Why, you-!
You certainly do love to
struggle futilely, Esther.
Then again, that's what I love about you
What are you planning to do?!
Why, I'm ending the world.
Do you think that's nonsense?
But it's the truth.
Very soon, an angel will descend
to punish this stifling, ugly world.
I came to prepare for the party.
The invitations have been sent out,
so all that remains is
to set off the firecrackers
So long, Esther. Try as hard as you might.
Wait, Dietrich!
If you want to stop this, come follow me.
Who knows, maybe you'll
become this world's star of hope
Star of hope?
Your name does mean "star"
in this kingdom's old language.
Dietrich! Dietrich!
Its name is Pero.
But now it's sick
I was hoping you could bless it
so it can get better soon.
M-me?
You're the greatest person
in the world, right?
I bet even God would listen
to what you say!
The greatest?
N-no I'm not great at all
Mr. Pope?
I'm not great at all.
Everyone always scolds me
and makes fun of me
There are people who bully you?
Do you want me to make 'em pay?
Eh?
The pope is the person chosen by God!
If anyone mean bullies him,
I'll make them pay!
Chosen by God?
May the Lord's blessing be with thee
Amen.
Thank you, Mr. Pope!
I'll give him some antibiotics later!
Mr. Pope!
As thanks, I'll take you
to my secret place!
Eh?
- Come on! This way!
- W-wait!
H-hold on!
Angelica! Wait for me!
This way, Mr. Pope!
Wait!
Follow me!
Eh? Wait. Isn't this-
- Where are we?
- This way, Mr. Pope!
Eh?!
W-wow!
Wow! W-what is this?!
Isn't it cool?! I found it
when I was playing!
Virgil-sama found out right after,
but he said I wouldn't be in trouble
if I kept it a secret from everyone!
But you're an exception, Mr. Pope!
R-rockets?!
You really know how to be a bother.
I found it hard to believe
you'd be hiding in a place like this
Now come!
What are you doing to Mr. Pope?!
Shut up! Get lost, kid!
No! Stop!
Stop that! Let go!
Get outta here!
Just because you're a kid doesn't mean-
Stop it!
P-please stop! I'll go with you
Just please don't shout
Shouting frightens me
Mr. Pope!
I'll be all right. Don't worry
Mr. Pope
Let's go.
Sorry for yelling at you.
We've caught the pope!
Now we just need to hunt down
the Vatican's dogs! Let's go!
Old man! Over here!
It's you!
The rebel base is the
security control room in Section 2-B.
So now we're even.
You guys're alright!
Yes. Everyone took us in right away
Things were just starting to go well,
but then this happened
They aren't bad people!
They're just making a stand
after seeing everyone's suffering
So please, old man!
I ain't an old man!
Things are too big this time.
I'm just a minor figure.
There's a limit to what I can do.
But
First comes taking back the pope.
We can figure out the rest after that.
Thanks for the help! See ya!
Kate? I know where the rebel nest is.
The pope's probably there, too.
Yeah. Contact the Professor
and have everyone-
Old man!
What are these things?!
Old man!
I told you, I'm not an old man!
- Peter!
- Stay back!
Behave like kids
and let the grownup protect you!
If I give up now I'll never
be able to face my daughter
What's that?
Someone! Help me!
Father Nightroad!
Now it can go straight to the palace.
But His Holiness is still-!
All the other AX members are here.
Return aboveground. Got that?
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 )
