The Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of the Apocalypse (2024) s01e10 Episode Script

[suspenseful music]
[soft groaning]
- [bandits chuckling]
- [Nasiens grunts]
[Edlin] Did you come all the way
to this far-off place for a vacation,
Great Holy Knight Howzer?
Finally decided to show yourself, huh?
[Howzer] So the rumors
about you falling off the path
and becoming the leader
of the bandits were true.
Who is he?
[Howzer] This is my other pupil, Edlin.
[scoffs]
[theme music]
ROAR OF DESTRUCTION
- [bandits chuckling]
- [tense music]
I can't recall when,
but I know that I heard
a report about a group of bandits
in the Dalflare Range
that make it a point to target travelers.
I never imagined
they'd be occupying an entire town
and taking people's stuff.
[chuckles]
And thanks to that report,
we can rob Holy Knights like yourself,
who show up to suppress us
just to get taken out.
Naturally, we took your weapon and horse
you left at the inn as well.
[Howzer scoffs]
You stupid bandits are all the same.
[gasps]
You really thought you could beat
the Great Holy Knight Howzer
by simply taking his weapon?
[scared gasps]
[Howzer grunts]
[Nasiens] Despite being outnumbered,
he's not rattled at all.
They don't call him the Great Holy Knight
of Liones for nothing.
- He's so intimidating.
- [chuckles]
Master Howzer, you don't know it yet,
but you've already lost this fight.
- [Howzer groaning]
- [music fades]
[loud thud]
Uh?
[snoring]
I'm well aware of how much alcohol
you're able to handle.
Just how many times do you think
I've had to carry you out of a bar?
What do you plan on doing with us?
Moron. Isn't it obvious, kid?
[bandit] You'd better believe we're gonna
sell every one of you brats as slaves.
[bandit chuckles]
Is that so?
Well, I refuse.
[gasps]
What is this?
Misty Rain, Belladonna.
MISTY RAIN
BELLADONNA
Oh I feel really great all of a sudden.
[bodies thudding]
[Edlin] What on earth?
[dramatic music]
[Edlin] I see.
So you're a magic wielder!
Excuse me. I'll be taking my leave
with my companions now.
[Edlin] Companions?
This boy isn't one, is he? Hmm?
[tense sting]
That's impossible! When did you
[snoring softly]
[surprised grunt]
[thwacks]
[birds screeching]
[frustrated groan]
I totally made a run for it
in front of them again.
This is becoming a pretty bad habit.
I bet my sister's feeling let down
on the other side.
You don't think I know that?
It's the same thing I keep telling myself!
- [Edlin] There you are, Donny.
- [grunts]
Long time no see.
[soft gasp]
Edlin, is that really you?
[birds screeching]
I saw you at the bar a little earlier.
Were your fellow
traveling performers there with you?
I wouldn't call them that. Anyway
what about you?
You're still on that journey?
Training with my uncle
to become a Holy Knight?
I actually parted ways with the man
and gave up on that dream.
It's all in the past now.
Uh, what? No you're kidding, right?
What made you do that?
Thought you were so determined
on becoming one.
There's no use talking about it.
Now, what do you say we team up?
Huh?
Well, there's a simple cushy gig
that we can take on.
Wait, hold on a second.
Who are you, man? "Simple and cushy"?
It isn't like you to say things like that.
'Cause a Holy Knight
should never be motivated by gain, right?
[laughs]
Like I said,
I don't care about that stuff anymore.
Listen, Donny.
[Edlin] All we have to do
is pose as the town locals
and rob unsuspecting travelers.
- It's easy as can be.
- [uneasy music]
[Edlin chuckling]
Hah! Is this some kind of joke?
That's something bandits do.
We even have a powerful ally
who can help us.
[tense sting]
[Donny breathing nervously]
[Edlin] You'll join me, right, Donny?
Look good to see you.
I'm glad we got to catch up.
It was overdue.
But sorry,
I have to rejoin my friends now.
[Edlin] That won't be happening
because their lives are in my hands.
[Donny grunts]
[Donny] What do you mean by that?
Donny, the only friend you have
who can truly understand you is me.
Uh
If anything happens to those guys,
I'm not gonna let it slide.
[shocked grunt]
[Donny breathes angrily]
You've changed, and not for the better.
[angry grunt]
I haven't changed at all.
[inhale sharply]
[whistles]
[whistle echoing]
[gasps]
[Edlin] You see, I finally realized
[wind gusting]
what my destiny really is.
[all grunt]
[Nasiens groaning]
Take it easy. That really hurt, you know?
We're taking all this money back,
and there's nothing
you can do about it, you brats!
The hell is this? Hmm
[groans]
It's just a piece of junk.
Watch it, blockhead!
[groans]
What do we do now?
It looks like they didn't have
any valuables to take, guys.
[bandit] Seriously, I don't know
why we haven't traded those punks
for money already?
We're in trouble.
I hope Donny and the others
can sense it too.
[Howzer]
There's no way that cowardly bastard's
- coming to help you.
- [grunts]
'Cause no matter
what you're going through,
he's only ever worried
about saving himself.
- [man] Hey! Are you all right in there?
- [surprised grunt]
I'm letting you guys out.
Wait a second.
You're the barkeep, aren't you?.
[man] You're one impressive kid.
You've had quite a bit to drink,
but you're still sober.
- [lock rattling]
- Well, that's because
a long time ago,
I snuck a taste of my grandfather's booze.
And I can neutralize
- any poison I've tasted.
- [lock clicks]
So alcohol is poison, huh?
Well, isn't that something?
[laughs]
Come on, pull yourself together, Howzer!
Who are you and how do you know me?
Just take a good look.
You beat me up a while back
at a big fighting festival!
Huh?
Oh!
[laughs]
Taizoo, is that you?
Damn, you've gotten old!
- [laughing]
- This is no time for laughing, you idiot!
'Cause at this rate,
the entire town is gonna be destroyed!
[shocked grunt]
You mean by Edlin?
[Taizoo] Not by him
[dragon growling]
but by an ancient dragon.
He's managed to tame it!
[tense music]
[snarling]
[whimpers]
Now do you get it?
As long as we have this dragon,
we're invincible.
[snarling]
[scoffs]
Oh, don't glare at me.
This is you and me we're talking about.
[growling]
[whimpers]
[Edlin] Hey! Get back here!
Neither one of us has anything, Donny!
We should work together!
- [panting]
- [Edlin] Wake up already!
[both groan softly]
[both gasp]
Ah! Thank goodness!
[Percival grunts]
Where are we?
[Anne] Last I remember,
we were all in a bar.
About that,
it appears we've gotten entangled
in a complicated situation.
- Complicated?
- [Anne] Huh?
[shouts]
You!
Why in the world are you in here with us?
[gasps]
Does he know
that I'm the daughter of Duke Kalden
and tried selling me off
when I was passed out?
[gasps]
Or worse,
maybe he wanted to do
disgusting things to me!
[grunts in disgust]
I've got no interest in a kid
who's still wet behind the ears.
[angry grunt]
[Anne wails]
My pride as a girl
has been torn to shreds!
Oh, Percival!
Not only did you punch Donny,
but you made Anne cry!
I can't forgive people
who try and hurt my friends!
- [Anne] Hmm
- Wait! You don't understand. That man is
[laughs]
I made her cry? It's not my fault
I spoke the truth about her.
And Donny, I only socked him because he
- [grunts]
- This is for Donny!
And this one is for
- [Nasiens] Stop!
- [gasps]
Don't interrupt him
when he was just about
to punch the guy for me!
This man's
the Great Holy Knight of Liones.
He's also Donny's uncle!
[Percival and Anne] What?
[groaning]
[retches]
- [Howzer vomiting]
- [all screaming in disgust]
[Anne] Gross!
A man with red hair
is making his way down!
You're to capture him at all costs!
[Edlin]
But just make sure not to hurt him!
[suspenseful music]
- [bandits panting]
- We don't even know who he is,
and we're supposed to capture him
without hurting him?
- [panting]
- [bandit] Yeah, forget what he said.
I say we just kill the guy!
I'll call again if I need you.
Back to your den.
[dragon growling]
I said go back.
You do care what happens to this,
don't you?
[dragon snarls]
Sorry, boss, we looked all over,
but we couldn't find
a man with red hair anywhere.
Then search harder!
- [Edlin] Don't the three of you have eyes?
- [Donny panting]
Or more importantly, boss,
about those little brats
we captured earlier
Yeah, can't we have
just a little taste of them
before you sell them off somewhere?
I won't allow such foolishness.
If you've got time
to entertain stupid ideas,
then go find that redhead!
[bandits sigh]
Fine.
[all grunt angrily]
[Taizoo] About this time last year,
I first met Edlin.
And even though he was just a kid,
he had this extremely sulky attitude.
[Taizoo] He wore the same expression I had
when I lost my sense of purpose.
[Edlin grunts]
I couldn't help feeling concerned,
so I tried talking to him.
But a few days later
- I want drinks for all these gentlemen.
- [bandits chuckling]
[Taizoo grunts worriedly]
I know, right?
[Taizoo]
Are you folks bandits of Dalflare?
Huh?
No, I'm not complaining
about it or anything.
Just noticed that you have a young leader.
That's all.
Yeah, well,
if you judge him by his looks like that
then you'll get your ass kicked,
just like the rest of us.
Really? He's that strong, huh?
Right. But that guy's not just strong,
he's got the guts to back it up.
[bandit] I mean, get this, he climbed into
an ancient dragon's den all by himself
and even managed
to steal himself a dragon's egg.
[worried grunt]
Since then, the same dragon's
been under the boss's thumb.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
[bandit] No ordinary person could do that!
And you know
how the rest of the story goes, right?
[Taizoo]
Edlin made himself the king of Cant.
How can a human have a dragon
under their thumb with only one egg?
That creature's been around a long time.
It may very well have been her last egg.
[Percival] I feel sorry for her then.
So, you heard rumors about your pupil
and then you made your way
to this town, right?
[groaning]
Sorry, kid. But what I'm doing out here
really isn't any of your business.
You understand me?
You mean to tell me
that this lousy drunk
is a Great Holy Knight?
The only thing that makes sense here
is that he's Donny's uncle.
Grandpa was super strong,
but why is this Great Holy Knight so weak?
- [Nasiens] It is a bit odd, isn't it?
- [Percival] Huh?
[Nasiens] I mean about the dragon.
[Nasiens] An egg like that
could easily hatch at any moment.
Meaning you wouldn't be able to use it
as leverage over the mother forever.
That's right.
The egg in his possession now
is nothing but a fake.
- [Nasiens and Percival] Huh?
- But could that really fool
the eyes of a dragon?
[Howzer] Imitation.
It's Edlin's magic ability.
He can create replicas
exactly like the original
in both their appearance and texture.
[Howzer] But they're still just illusions.
[gasps]
[Nasiens] So, the Percival
I saw back there was just an illusion?
Oh, I get it! He needs a fake
because he ate the real one!
Yeah, well, I don't know
if that's exactly what happened.
[Taizoo] Anyway, the dragon has slowly
started piecing things together.
Soon, she'll have this all figured out.
So please, Howzer
Stop him before it's too late.
[Taizoo] Otherwise, there'll be no time
to turn things around.
What do I care?
It serves him right if you ask me.
That dragon isn't the only thing
Edlin should worry about.
He's hated
by every single member of his crew.
[Howzer gasps]
[Taizoo] After all, he doesn't let them
harm women or children.
He doesn't even let them
kill the Holy Knights they defeat.
And he eventually ends up
releasing each human
that the bandits tried to capture.
[surprised grunt]
[hesitated grunt]
[Taizoo]
He's a kind-hearted kid deep down.
[bandits laughing]
[Taizoo] He's only putting on a tough act
for the others.
[laughing continues]
[Edlin grunts in pain]
[tense music]
[gasps]
Now that we have this,
the dragon will do anything we say!
- [bandit] The world is ours!
- [laughing continues]
Give it back! It's for your own safety!
Ha! We're all fed up
with taking orders from the likes of you!
Oh, don't you worry.
We'll put this dragon egg to good use!
[all grunting]
[bandits whimpering]
[all scream]
Oh, no!
[Sylvan munching]
- [yelps]
- What?
What the? Uh an illusion?
[dragon growls]
[roars]
[dramatic music]
[grunts]
[all whimper]
- [rumbling]
- [all grunt]
The hell's going on?
I thought the dragon was under control!
Edlin must have messed up!
- Run for it!
- [all whimper]
[roaring]
[panting]
[screams]
Master! We're in trouble if we stay!
[grunts]
[Sin] We're heading underground!
I sense Percy and the others' magic.
[dragon roaring]
Why is it that humans always have to go
and stir up some kind of trouble?
[dragon roaring in distance]
That dragon is really upset.
Please, Howzer, he needs your help
right now! This is serious!
[Howzer grunts]
- [low growling]
- [all gasp]
- What the Do you hear that?
- [Percival] Huh?
- [Taizoo grunts softly]
- [both] Huh?
- Huh?
- A secret room?
[low growling]
[gentle music]
[Anne] Wait! Is this the dragon's baby?
It's so cute!
Ah, the real egg must have already hatched
a while ago.
Yeah. But as you can see,
it isn't feeling well.
- [Percival exclaims]
- [Taizoo] And Edlin said
that he felt bad about returning the baby
to its mother in such a state.
I can't tell at all if he wants to be
bad or good, talk about confusing.
In a way, he's just like Donny.
The baby is weakened
and its breathing is shallow.
[Nasiens]
It won't last three days like this.
I know. I'll try giving it some medicine.
- [Sylvan neighs]
- [Anne gasps]
- Sylvan! But how?
- [Percival chuckles]
[chuckles]
Hey, Sin! Did you happen
to see Donny out there?
Mm-mm.
I bet you that coward's halfway
to the next village by now.
[Howzer] He's already abandoned you guys.
I know Donny, he's not a coward.
He might run, but he always comes back.
- [grunts]
- Mister,
I want you
to return that to him personally.
I'll go start looking for him now.
Hang on, it's dangerous to go alone!
Sylvan!
[Sylvan grunts, neighs]
[Howzer] Donny
[Howzer] I want an answer!
[Howzer] This entire time,
I thought you were dead set
on becoming a Holy Knight!
And I was, but I just don't have
magic like yours, Uncle.
I'm sorry to disappoint you both.
[grunts]
What are you talking about?
Depending on how you apply your training,
you can come up
with countless ways to use your magic!
[Donny] And besides
I'm not ready to die.
[both] Uh
Damn it, Donny
That's what you told yourself
when you ran away, wasn't it?
[dragon roaring]
[grunting]
- [grunts]
- [tense music]
[Edlin] Oh. I'm gonna die.
Uh?
Huh?
I'm making you float for now,
but you gotta hurry up and grab something!
[Edlin] The guy who gave up
on becoming a Holy Knight is helping me?
[Donny] You're not even gonna
say thank you for that?
Nothing I do works out anymore.
Whether I try to be
a champion of justice or a villain.
You're way too young
to be musing about your life.
[Edlin] What about you?
Are things working out?
I quit being a performer.
[soft grunt]
You did?
I'm gonna give
becoming a Holy Knight another shot.
[gasps]
[Edlin]
But you said you didn't want to die.
Of course! I don't want to put my life
on the line to save strangers!
[Donny] At least I didn't until I met
someone I didn't mind risking my life for.
There!
[Percival] Donny! You've gotta jump!
Right! Edlin, jump after I do!
I'll hold you up!
[grunts]
[dragon roars]
[gasps]
[inhales deeply]
- [Sylvan whimpers]
- [screams]
[tense music continues]
[Percival] I get why you'd be angry
after having your egg stolen.
Huh?
That being said,
I also have things I wanna protect!
All my friends!
[shouts]
[dramatic music]
[shrieking]
[soft grunt]
[snarling]
[whimpers]
[shocked grunt]
- [suspenseful music]
- [dragon growling]
[determined grunt]
[closing theme music]
A REAL HOLY KNIGH
