Trinity Blood (2005) s01e23 Episode Script
The Crown of Thorns I. City in the Mist
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
This only happened
because you had to destroy it.
Well, no matter. There are other methods.
No!
Father!
Calm yourself, Sister Esther!
Let's fall back for now!
No!
Father!
No! Let go!
Esther
Father!
All things flow along,
their ends not in this world
Sleep, my beloved
Your life will continue on
Your life will continue on
It was my fault I killed you
You were born, and then you lived
It was my fault I killed you
You were born, and then you lived
I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!
It was because I got in the way
You were born, and then you lived
I wasn't able to do anything
To pass on songs of hope,
for all eternity
I wasn't able to do anything
To pass on songs of hope,
for all eternity
All I did was watch
To pass on songs of hope,
for all eternity
You weren't supposed to die
To pass on songs of hope,
for all eternity
in a place like this
To pass on songs of hope,
for all eternity
To pass on songs of hope,
for all eternity
And yet, I never got to repay you
To pass on songs of hope,
for all eternity
Even after you helped me so much
I didn't get to repay you at all
I'm hopeless
I can't- and couldn't- do anything
What?! Abel Nightroad is dead?!
How can that be?!
What happened in Albion, Duchess?!
I don't know. But he fell
in the line of duty.
Nothing else has been disclosed!
Change course! We're hurrying to Albion!
- Stop, Count!
- But-!
Our mission is to negotiate
with the Vatican! It cannot be changed!
But-!
This is a holy decree!
Maintain course! We're heading for Rome!
My apologies.
I know how you feel. Even I would
fly there right now if I had wings!
Duchess
My tovaras What on earth happened?!
Offer yourself
These tears are the words for a new love
Thank you, for all eternity,
for the dreams and the days of bliss
And for our meeting in this place
And for our meeting in this place
I'm so sorry.
And for our meeting in this place
The one you hold dear needs it too
Abel
Please take extra care.
Positive.
Sister!
Your Holiness I'm truly
relieved to see you are all right!
I thank the both of you.
Sister.
When I get back to the Vatican,
there's something I want to discuss.
Discuss?
Yes. I feel that what I've seen
and heard here mustn't be put to waste.
Though I'm still not sure
what I can do yet
Sister?
Yes. I look forward to it, Your Holiness.
Esther has safely returned too, yes?
Do you suppose I can see her?
Yes, but, well
Sister Esther is presently in a church
in the outskirts of Londinium.
A priest she works with
fell in the line of duty
Fell? He died?
Brother. I've wiped out those Auto-Jagers
that infiltrated the Ghetto.
The residential section is safe, too.
The pope has also returned safely.
And I hear you helped him
Seal the Ghetto. We cannot afford
to let them break in a second time.
Who are they?
I really only know
what's been passed down to me,
but I hear they're the "Orden",
the enemy of the world
Do they think they'll work?
It's been centuries since they last flew!
Sealing complete. Sealing complete.
- You're in charge here.
- What are you going to do?
I'm going to meet a star.
Excalibur System has
been activated, my liege.
OK.
Honestly, Isaak.
I only started to fall apart
because you didn't completely repair me!
My deepest apologies.
Just when things seemed
to be going so smoothly
OI' Abel just had to destroy
the rocket control room.
He can be so headstrong
I guess taking 02 is the only way now
You're going to absorb 02?
Yes. Abel's memories should
contain the emergency input codes
to activate the rockets directly.
Understood.
While you do that, I will continue
to remove this cumbersome city.
"For, behold, the day cometh,
burning as a furnace! Malachi 4:1."
This is the light of the dawn
of the coming world.
Lament, anger, and flee in confusion.
Our Lord will surely
accept you all with a smile.
Yes
At last, we will now renew
this aging world with white flames
Just what is going on?!
Our section appears to be confused too,
so information is spotty!
Unconfirmed reports claim that people
are vanishing in flashes of light!
And then there's
Father Nightroad’s incident
Does our enemy wield
some manner of magic?!
Such words will make you
a target of inquisition!
- Let us inside!
- Save us!
Colonel Spencer! You should stay in bed!
I can't rest during an emergency like this!
Prepare for emergency
evacuations at once!
All the panic has made
the citizens start to riot
Though I suppose that's
only natural given the situation
We just need to crush
that thing ASAP, right?
Hey! If it isn't Hugue!
Looks like you made it in time, Hugue
Master.
Esther-dono
A supporter of the world's enemy
has appeared above Londinium.
They wield unknown weapons
and have murdered countless citizens,
and the panicking survivors
are rioting all around the palace.
The Albion government and the Vatican
have begun to take measures,
and the Ghetto is ready to assist, as well.
Do you intend to sit here the whole time?
I hear he fought the "Enemy of the World"
for a very long time.
There is no doubt we must follow
in his footsteps and continue to live.
If we stop in our tracks, we will
betray his wishes. Am I wrong?
I had hoped to tell you this
much more leisurely.
But there is no time now.
Stand up, Esther-dono!
You have a duty to this kingdom.
You are the only true successor to
this kingdom's throne, Esther-dono!
What are you talking about?
By the previous queen's orders,
I have searched for you all this time.
Prince Gilbert, who was
to be this kingdom's next ruler,
was assassinated 15 years ago
by the hands of the world's enemy.
However, on the eve of his assassination,
he secretly sent the
newborn princess overseas
That was you, Sister Esther Blanchet
No, Lady Esther Blanchet
No That can't be I'm
I'm
I'm not like that
Esther-dono. We and this kingdom
need your strength.
Please, lend us your strength
Strength? I wasn't able to do anything
I I
I'm on your side.
Father
Father Nightroad
Let's go.
- Open up!
- Let us in!
What on earth are you doing, everyone?!
Sister Esther!
I am Esther Blanchet. A sister
dispatched from the Vatican.
Citizens of Londinium! Please be calm!
Confusion and strife is the very intent
of those behind these attacks!
This world is being driven to destruction
by people filled with hostility!
They're making it so that we'll suspect,
hate, and destroy each other!
But it's each of our hearts
that makes that possible!
They're using clever methods
to provoke us into conflict!
This attack is nothing more
than one of those methods!
So everyone! Don't be swayed!
Don't accept their vile invitations!
Please don't forget your
compassion for other people!
Virgil! Don't tell me she's-
That's right. She is the "Star of Hope".
The next queen of Albion, Princess Esther.
Father. I will do everything in my power
Just as you taught me on that day
Well, here goes!
Hey! What did you do?!
What do you think?!
I developed this flying car in secrecy
for just such a situation!
- It's the first prototype, too!
- Eh?!
Comes with a rocket engine
and a maximum speed of 350 kph!
Only downside is that the shape
of the craft makes it hard to balance.
What?!
I also loaded it with missiles
for just such an occasion!
That didn't do a thing, old man!
I'm not sure you can really call me that,
but this does pose a problem.
What the hell are those tiny things?!
Everyone! Please move away from it!
Now, then. Time for a little more fun
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 )
Next time- Final Episode:
"The Crown of Thorns II. The Load of Oath"
