Love, Death & Robots (2019) s04e07 Episode Script

[opening theme music playing]
[electronic chirp]
[electronic warbling]
[emcee] Lords and Ladies of the Empire,
welcome!
[dramatically] Space,
once an unreachable frontier,
is now a dazzling playground
for Earth's children.
And so, we gather here,
above the frozen skies of Jupiter
[crowd cheering]
to witness the sacred union
of our glorious regent,
Lord Chalon of Europa,
and the Duchess Saraka of Callisto.
[all chuckling]
Their love must be tempered
with ritual and ceremony,
shaped in the crucible of chaos
- [woman chuckles]
- [glasses clink]
and sanctified with blood,
blood spilled in tribute
on these sands below.
[dramatic music playing]
Tonight, you will witness
a spectacle like no other.
Behold the riders.
[crowd cheering]
[emcee] Are they not
absolutely magnificent?
[indistinct chatter]
[emcee] Years of discipline and training
have forged them into the
perfect warriors you see before you.
[grunting]
[emcee] Champions
honed to a razor's edge,
each blessed with the strength
and ferocity of their totem spirit.
[woman 1 in Mandarin] My sigil
marks me as wild and untamed.
It is a secret prayer,
my longing to be free.
[pensive music playing]
[in English] To those
who are about to die,
we salute you.

[in Mandarin] Everything
that does not please our overlords
has been stripped away.
In the darkness above Europa,
they take everything from us.

[in English] Yeah!
[suspenseful music playing]
[woman in Mandarin] The aristocracy
mate for money and power.
But we who can own nothing
[energy pulses]
have something real,
something primal, something true.

[glasses clink]
[cheering continues]
[dramatic music playing]
Was that not glorious?
A contest of heroes
worthy of this celestial union.
But for this most special occasion,
we have something more,
a final challenge to test our champion
against nature's most
savagely primal creation.

[emcee in English] My lords,
this carnage is no end
- [grunts]
- [emcee] It is a beginning.
This King of the ancient world
gives us the gift
of his matchless vitality.
In his veins flows
the power primordial
as it will now flow
into those of our sovereigns,
so that they may write
our future in blood.
[in Mandarin] The Tyrannosaur
no longer screams.
He has had his fill of blood.
But you up there
[indistinct chatter]
[woman] you will never have enough.
Come let us end this our way.

[woman] In the darkness above Europa
[grunting weakly]
they take everything from us,
even our memories.
Yet some fragments linger
[tyrannosaur moans]
[woman] like the
last leaves of autumn.
Among the blossoms,
I am alone with my wine.
Lifting my cup,
I ask the moon to drink with me.
Its reflection in the wine,
with mine, just we three.
