7Seeds (2019) s01e07 Episode Script

Are these things stupid or what? Just like an albatross.
Oh, eggs! Fresh eggs! We called them "fool birds" because they were so easy to catch.
But they almost went extinct from overhunting.
What are you trying to say with that bit of trivia? I'm saying we can't let it happen again.
All right, I'll put two back.
If it won't rain heavily tomorrow morning, let's keep moving.
Okay! Where to? Let's explore! Maybe to Australia? Or how about Hawaii? What do you think, Natsu? What? Oh, well I think maybe it's best if we met back up with Ms.
Botan and everyone.
Yes, I'm with you.
I think they might be having a hard time without us.
Oh, good point.
Botan is crazy strong, but even she could use some help.
All right, that settles it! Let's head back to Kyushu! Okay, then I would like to make a proposal.
I've always played team sports.
One thing we always did was set goals, three weeks, or three months, or even up to a year in advance.
It makes it easier to decide what we have to do and when to do it, so that we get actual results.
I think it's best if we decide on some overall goals.
For example, our three-week goals are to learn how to steer the ship and to meet up with everyone.
Then find a nice place to live within three months.
And finally, establish a routine for our daily lives within a year.
Sounds good to me.
Natsu.
Did that come as a surprise to you, too? Setting solid goals for myself.
It's been a while since I did that.
Since elementary school? We all used to set goals for the summer vacation.
But I never achieved them.
I bet you were the same, right? Yes.
And before you know it, everyone is at different stages in life.
But it's amazing.
Aren't you at least a little excited? Hey! Don't start acting so confident.
Hey, you two.
It's time for bed.
Listen up, Arashi.
I'm not setting any goals for myself.
I just want to live my life as it happens.
That's fine with me.
For real? I know you'll step up when it counts.
You think so? - The S.
S.
Elephant n' Lion sets sail.
- The S.
S.
Elephant n' Lion sets sail.
WINTER SOLSTICE Haru found some footprints.
They looked relatively fresh and likely left by two men.
What? What's wrong, Haru? Oh, nothing.
It's just my imagination.
Okay.
There's no way that could be You scared me.
I thought you were Ran and the others.
Actually, who are you guys? We're members of Team Spring and Team Winter.
They were Team Autumn.
After abandoning their village, they evacuated here a couple weeks prior.
The ashes ruined the crops and everything else.
As we were fleeing, we came across this underground entrance.
That means the footprints we found must have belonged to you two.
Yes, we've been walking around to figure out where all these passages go.
So tell us, why did your group split up? We passed the village you made on the way here.
It was remarkable.
Akiwo and Ms.
Ran made that happen.
They kept it safe by ruling with an iron fist.
However, things are different now.
Ms.
Kurumi is pregnant.
But Ms.
Ran and the others insisted that no children be born.
Why can't you have children? Those two harbor a strong grudge against the people who sent us here.
Regardless of this situation, we all should be helping each other.
That's for damn sure.
So what exactly did you all come here for? Oh, did any of you happen to come across Team Summer B? Summer B? Yes, we did.
But they left right away.
I see.
You've met that team, too? We're searching for them.
Hana's boyfriend is in that group.
Give it up.
I'm sure he's already gotten with another girl.
I had a girlfriend too, but I've moved on.
Men are all like that, you know.
Not everyone in the world has the same traits as you.
Yes, speak for yourself.
Don't lump all of us men together.
Okay, I think it's time we continued on our way.
The sun is about to set.
How about you stay here for the night? I knew I wasn't imagining it.
I can hear it clearly at night.
But it doesn't make any sense.
Good job, Akane.
Mind getting up for a minute? There's a place I would like to go before the tide goes out.
If you do that, I'll make sure he gets back safe.
"He"? What happened to Haru? We're keeping an eye on him.
I promise no harm will come to him.
You've got a boat, right? I want you to use that to scout for us.
Then why didn't you just ask? You didn't need to do this to make me go.
I want to know about this world, so I'll go anywhere.
I would have cooperated with you.
Then I'm asking you now.
It seems waking up in the future has made you forget common courtesy.
Let's go, Ms.
Hana.
Diamond, Battery, let's find and save Haru.
I'll join you.
Mr.
Izayoi.
I apologize that things have turned out like this.
Despite how he looks, Haru is actually really sensitive.
If anything happens to him, you'll pay.
I'm sorry.
I'm really very sorry.
It's fine.
To be honest, I never thought all the teams would get along.
More importantly, haven't you guys noticed that sound? I've been hearing the sound of a motor this whole time.
There's a machine at work somewhere.
Ms.
Akane has a good sixth sense and warned us it's dangerous up ahead.
That's why Ryuusei came up with a plan to make you go instead.
Ms.
Hana.
What the hell? We'll be taking your boat.
Maybe there are some supplies up ahead? If so, we'll be taking those too.
Stop! Akiwo! Ms.
Ran! Where's Mr.
Aramaki? Are you okay? I can't swim.
Who were they? The other members of Team Autumn.
We separated from them.
What is up with the people in Team Autumn? They're all jerks.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive them.
What should we do now, Ms.
Hana? Well, it's a little less scary now, thanks to them.
Let's keep going.
I won't let things go according to their plan.
I would rather bite my tongue and die than get manipulated like this.
Oh, it looks like an underground railway.
Let's move, you two.
If we follow this, it should lead us somewhere.
This isn't going to start moving, right? Probably.
What is this place? This is likely a farm.
A farm? Underground? That means this isn't any ordinary facility.
I suspect that this is an evacuation shelter.
This must be a depot.
Akiwo? Yes, I think it might be possible.
The electricity works.
I'm going to connect the wires.
It's running on an independent power source.
Nuclear power? What do you think? I bet it's either geothermal or hydro powered for safety reasons.
If we find a computer somewhere, let's power it up.
It unlocked automatically.
Then there must still be people inside.
That would seem to be the case.
Only some parts of the network are coming back up.
The folders are all empty, and we can't transfer files.
This must be the map of the facility.
This is the central "Summer" block, and "Spring" is the living quarters.
The "Autumn" block is farms and livestock, and "Winter" is the storage.
Let's start with the storage block.
I've long suspected that there must be shelters somewhere.
Weren't you told of any, Mr.
Izayoi? I was told the 7SEEDS Project was only an experimental last resort, and that other means of survival had already been put into place.
You were brave to participate.
Did you volunteer? Yes.
But I was not prepared for it.
However, I'm doing my best for the sake of my team now.
Mr.
Aramaki.
He was holding something.
Is it a diary? "I feel I should leave something behind, so I wrote this journal.
" Thanks for coming, everybody.
The Pete Brothers.
You must be Mark Ibaraki.
That's me.
Can you lie through your teeth? What? What do you need teeth for? I tell lies just fine without them.
Shut your trap, Pete.
I mean, can you keep up your act until the very end? Of course! No matter the time or place, if there's a job for me, I'll be ready and willing to do it.
That fellow only gave me his name as "Takashi.
" The location he sent me to was halfway between Osaka and Kyoto.
Maria Miki? Good morning.
Are you another one of the performers? Oh, I think so.
In the train to our destination, there were many happy families and couples.
All I was told was that this is an opening celebration for a new theme park.
What a coincidence.
I've got one here, too.
I'm not a dog.
A ventriloquist? Wow! I'm really looking forward to your show.
We'll soon be arriving at Ryugu, the final stop.
Welcome to Ryugu.
This giant facility is like an underground land of dreams, filled with numerous shows and attractions for your enjoyment.
My name is Michitsuna Oda.
I am the manager.
I will look after you.
In addition to Maria and myself, the baseball star Hino, the DJ Kagami, the visual effects artist Saruwatari, and the comic artist Sakata, had all been recruited by Mr.
Takashi.
The audience didn't know a thing.
We were all fooled into believing we were lucky to be invited to a free event.
It's an earthquake.
But something feels odd about it.
Kagami, explain the situation to our guests.
Wait, what am I supposed to say? When I asked if you could stay calm and talk through any situation, you said you could.
We will now play news reports from the surface on the big screen.
Everyone, please sit down and hold your loved ones' hands as you watch.
This morning, just past 3 a.
m.
, a meteorite dozens of kilometers in diameter struck the Earth.
Later, meteorites of various sizes also rained down around the world.
Even now, they continue to fall.
- No way! - I can't believe this! What are we going to do? At that time, we all thought that was the end of everything.
That we would all die in despair.
Even if you feel alone Swallowed by the vast darkness Never forget that right now You are a shining light But Maria saved us.
For all the dry and splintered hearts In this world Before I knew it, everyone was quietly weeping.
Mommy! Are you lost, kids? That's okay, I'll help find your mommy.
It was then we realized the role we were meant to play.
All the guests soon found their own jobs to do.
It seemed as if everything was running smoothly.
Is this your family, Mr.
Takashi? Yes.
My wife works in the storage block here.
What about this girl? My daughter is elsewhere.
Why? All gates are narrow.
What? Sorry, it's a phrase my wife uses.
"The gates to heaven are narrow.
Two cannot pass through side by side.
" I told her that I intended to pass through with her, which she seemed to like.
Boy, you can't get more lovey-dovey than that! I suppose so.
However, it wasn't long before I came to truly understand that phrase.
One day, there was an accident, and three-quarters of the storage block became flooded with seawater.
Mr.
Takashi's wife died trying to prevent that from happening.
Ultimately, he was unable to be with her in death.
In the end, we all must face death on our own.
That's what she meant by "narrow gates.
" Due to the accident, we no longer have enough food, so half of the people here will move to another shelter.
Like a stone rolling down a hill, something big went into motion.
What? What do you mean there's no Ise Shelter? Right, I thought we got videos from them every morning.
Actually, that's just footage I created.
So what happened to all the people who moved? There were thousands of them.
Do you want to know? Then get on the train headed for the Ise Shelter tomorrow.
I ended up being the one who went.
During the ride, I put on my performance, and eventually, we stopped at a small station to change trains.
YOU'RE ONLY GOING THIS FAR Oh, really? - Well, have a good trip, everyone.
- Thank you.
- We'll miss you.
- Brush your teeth! I thought I was going with them all the way to Ise.
Mr.
Takashi? This is Ise.
What are they doing? We need all the resources we can get.
It's for fertilizer and feed.
What gives you the right to decide who lives and who dies? The gates of heaven are narrow, Mark.
Would you prefer that we all happily starve to death? Then Then why didn't you start by getting rid of yourselves? It will eventually come to that, unless the outside becomes habitable.
Are you going to kill us, too? Me and even Maria? We still need you to keep working for us.
You can keep lying until the very end.
Isn't that what you told me? Hey, it's Pi-suke and Mark! Oh, and Pete too.
Hey! I'm not some kind of sidekick.
I became an accomplice.
What should I do? I can't see them off with a smile anymore.
Deep down, I've always been depressed.
I don't think I can keep going like this.
Mark, I don't believe that entertainers need to be cheerful and happy even in their private lives.
All they need is effort.
That's what you've done all this time, and you'll keep doing just that.
Mr.
Takashi also asked me if I could keep singing until the very end.
I told him that I would, so long as someone was there to listen.
Not because I like singing, but because we are professionals.
Let's do our best, Mark.
Let's keep doing our jobs until we reach the very end.
It's almost Christmas.
How about we put on a play with everyone? Like A Christmas Carol or something.
That's a great idea.
But we were never able to make that happen.
A new threat reared its ugly head, ready to put the final nail in our coffin.
Tick X.
The livestock that caught it were incinerated.
But it didn't end there.
We realized it could infect humans as well.
We were trapped, faced with the fear of something totally unknown.
So why are you called the Pete Brothers? Pete is your older brother, right? Well, Pete really is my brother.
Oh, but don't think I've gone crazy.
This puppet used to belong to my actual brother.
My brother Mike was a few years older than me, but he and my parents all died in an accident.
After that, I would always talk to Pete as if he were my brother.
I would talk for both of us.
I was a really depressing kid.
I was always getting bullied.
One time, I had a chat with Pete in front of everyone.
They got a real kick out of it.
And that's how it has been ever since.
Right, Pete? Yes, that's our totally fake sob story.
Mark, you don't need to force yourself to be happy in front of me.
We're going to quarantine this dog.
It may have been infected by Tick X, so we may need to dispose of it.
Wait! You still have a job to do.
Mr.
Takashi! I shouldn't have brought it with me.
I have a lot of regrets myself, but I want you to know just one thing.
The fact that you're here with me makes me happy.
It's the best thing ever! It makes everything else bearable! I think we were really just afraid.
The infection continued to spread, and more people died every day.
I have something to ask of you.
If survivors ever find us down here, we need to assure that Tick X will never reach the surface.
So I want you to seal off this shelter.
I'm leaving to capture the Minister who fled.
After that, I want you to close all access points.
But when you come back, it's okay to open one, right? That won't be necessary.
We believe that Tick X can be stopped if it is frozen.
If it comes to that.
Also, keep a close eye on Maria.
If she does anything strange, you'll have to stop her.
I'm counting on you.
Mark, keep fulfilling your role until the very end.
I had also noticed that something was wrong with Maria.
Just now, the electricity came on briefly at one of the distant train stops.
I wonder if that was Mr.
Takashi's doing.
Mr.
Takashi never came back.
And we made sure all the doors to the outside were shut tight.
Ouch! Was that one of the holding pins? - Maria.
Your new costume is - Stay back! I was a hidden host.
It's my fault it spread to everyone.
This filthy disease Maria.
Mark! Don't! It's fine, I've already got it too.
Mark, I need your help.
We need to bring an end to this shelter, Ryugu.
I'll use my singing to draw out the infected people who are in hiding.
Your voice brings everyone to you.
Because it gives us hope.
That's the last of them.
Maria, everyone has come out now.
I'm going, too.
It's been a pleasure working with you.
Yes, same here.
Mark, everyone is in the fridge.
Take care of the rest.
Right.
I've sealed the fridge shut.
I'll close the security door too, so hurry back.
Mark.
It was really great to meet all of you and to work here together.
Yes.
I enjoyed it, too.
Well, I'm heading off first.
Mark, is this the end for us? Guess so.
We had a long run together.
So you're not going to let me talk anymore? Big Bro Nobody is watching.
Bawl your eyes out, kid.
All right.
Stay cool, Pete.
Isn't that a weird way to say goodbye? I'm a Buddhist, though! I think we really did a great job.
Everyone did their best just to live, and they were all honorable folks.
I think I was an honorable guy, too.
Last of all, I just want to say that you shouldn't pity us.
We lived, we laughed, and we stayed with the people who meant the most to us.
"So we weren't miserable, we were" I can't make out the rest.
Ms.
Hana? My father Why is his photo here? So who unlocked that door? What the hell is this? Hurry up and get out! There's a flesh-eating disease that was frozen here.
Don't feed us your fairy tale Cut the crap! Get out of there! When did you start giving orders? We're leaving.
This place is creepy.
I didn't think you were even capable of acting like that.
Well, it's good that all of those people didn't die in vain.
I wonder.
Freezing may have just preserved it so it could attack again in the future.
That Maria was the culprit, after all.
How dare you belittle them! But that was a waste too, because nobody will ever come here again.
I don't believe the death of others can be summed up so simply.
They died while fighting hard to survive, so it's shameful to call it a waste.
Haru.
Welcome back.
You sure took long.
What's wrong? Is that a rescue team? A search party? You came from the underground.
What's down there? We found a shelter.
One of the residents left this diary.
What's the situation inside the shelter? Just like the diary says.
The electricity is on, but everyone is dead.
Did you open the fridge? Yes.
There were a ton of frozen bodies.
You came out here without thinking about the risk of infection?
