Wolf's Rain (2003) s01e18 Episode Script
Men, Wolves, and the Book of the Moon
Blue! Don't go too far! My grandpa used to tell me about 'em.
He said that when the world is coming to an end, Paradise would appear somewhere on Earth.
But only wolves would know where to find it.
Maybe the world is coming to an end right now Wolves are servants of death! Don't believe that pagan garbage! They've been extinct for 200 years.
It's just a fairy tale.
The thing about fairy tales is that there's always a little truth in 'em.
My name is Hubb Lebowski.
I'm a Freeze City police officer.
Or rather, I was a police officer there.
Yes, my life began to change right after I met this man.
Quent Yaiden.
So, what's the sheriff of Kyrios doing in a place like this? That's quite a piece you're packing there, but I doubt you came all the way here to hunt.
What did you do with it? Where's the animal I put down? It's dead, apparently.
We'll dispose of the carcass here.
That's not possible! It couldn't have died so easily! That thing is a wolf! A wolf? That's no dog.
It's a wolf, no two ways about it! We have to kill every last one of 'em! Think it's a wolf? I don't know.
For one thing, I've never seen a real one.
But if it is, it may be related to Cheza's reaction.
Cheza, huh? I don't like the sound of that.
Why? She's what broke us up.
Cheza The Flower Maiden, the crowning achievement of alchemy.
My ex-wife Cher was among those in charge of this top-secret research project.
The Flower Maiden and wolves Two mystical beings Was that animal really a wolf? It's gone Are you saying that someone stole it? Or maybe it escaped on its own.
You're obsessed with wolves now, huh? You're dying to know about them now, aren't you? That dog ran away.
I figured as much.
Are you saying that it escaped by fooling us humans somehow? Yes.
There's lots more of them.
People you pass in the street, people you sit next to at a bar They may be wolves.
"l tell you now the words of Red Moon.
" "The wolf was born from the Great Spirit, and man became the messenger of the beast.
" Man was created from wolf.
So says the author of the Book of the Moon.
Book of the Moon? Right now, I can come right out and say it.
Instead of looking for wolves, suspect humans.
Everything's fine.
The lab is independent of the main power grid.
Yes, I know.
Cheza isn't vital to you.
Is that correct? Who are you? You look exhausted, as well.
You should rest a while.
Cher disappeared, Leaving me the keys to her apartment.
In her neatly ordered apartment, I came across something.
The Book of the Moon.
An book of arcana left behind by Darcia the First, an alchemist of unparalleled genius who disappeared two hundred years ago.
What was Cher doing with this book that is now banned? The signal is faint, but it's moving.
She must be inside that vessel.
Are you certain? Cheza is awake.
And she's reacting to something.
Don't do it! Oh, no! I can't believe we let them escape, with ten men getting injured in the process But they can't leave this aerial city.
Who do you think they are? They must be some of Darcia's people.
I'm not sure they are That expression that Cheza that the Flower Maiden showed to those boys.
She was smiling.
She was smiling, as if she were very happy.
Have you heard of how wolves might still be alive to this very day? No, I haven't.
It's possible that those boys we saw aren't ordinary humans.
They might be wolves who stay alive by deluding humans.
Gimme one of whatever will warm me up the most.
Yes, sir.
A chilled sherry, please.
Yes, ma'am.
- Hit me again.
- Hit me again.
I wonder how long it's been since I started searching for Cher? The lab she worked at was shut down at some point, and all the researchers had gone into hiding.
I even took a stab at dangerous information concerning the Nobles.
I was prepared to accept a certain amount of risk.
And then I finally got a lead.
Cheza was stolen by someone.
What about Cher?! The Doctor went with the search team.
I think you should just leave it at that, Det.
Lebowski.
The House of Lords has issued a warrant for your arrest.
Please come with me.
An invasion?! Lord Orkham is what?! Hubb! Are you all right? It's not your fault.
Still, how did this happen? I guess I was beguiled.
By wolves, you mean? What the hell is going on? Sorry about that.
The Book of the Moon For my clan, that was where it all began.
The research of my grandfather that is recorded in its pages was the accumulation of the very best alchemy of the day.
And every last bit of it was meant to be a means of reaching Paradise.
My grandfather disappeared.
While en route to Paradise.
What exactly is Paradise? A world where wolves reign supreme.
Paradise will lift my curse, and that of the woman I love.
My beloved Hamona was ravaged by what is called Paradise Sickness.
She lives, but her soul has been stolen by Paradise.
Her skin has lost the warmth that yours possesses.
Lord Darcia, Lord Orkham's keep has fallen.
So, Jaguara has made her move as I expected? The time is now ripe.
Darcia's aerial city, huh? Wolves The Flower Maiden And the red moon.
One by one, everything that's written in the Book of the Moon is coming true.
Is the end of the world approaching? Lord Darcia Lord Jaguara's reach extended even to here Jaguara Please forgive me.
I was unable to protect her.
If you've come all this way to find her, she must have done something really bad.
She may have the face of an angel, but she's actually a fiend of a woman.
Hey This is her.
You know, the one who really knew how to drink.
Huh? She was here? I'm positive that she was drinking with that guy over there.
You! Have you found those wolves? And you don't seem to have your dog with you.
She ran off somewhere.
I've had this sneaking suspicion Ever since my son found Blue as a pup, I suspected Blue had some wolf blood in her.
That it was that blood that let her find wolves.
Wanna go check out the next town up the road? Next town? If she was in the area, you should've bumped into her here.
If you haven't seen her, it either means she's gone home or gone on ahead.
She'd never go back.
Not with things the way they are.
That settles it, then.
Hubb! Cher! What are you-- How did you--? Am I dreaming? I've had too many dreams about you.
I met him.
I met Darcia.
I'm sorry, Hubb.
I'm flattered that you came all this way to look for me.
But I have to go.
Why?! I have to go there and find out.
Find out what Cheza really is.
And what it is that I'm really obsessed with.
I'll go with you.
Then why did you have me read this thing?! I'm going with you.
What is it? Hey! You and your kind stole everything from me.
And in return, you gave me a curse.
And suffering.
And grief.
And this eye became just like yours.
All this was the price I paid for being cursed by Paradise.
And now all I am surrounded by is despair.
Don't! What is it that you want?! Have you found it? Have you found Paradise? We will.
No matter what! What is it that you expect to find in Paradise? A future.
A future? Not hope.
Not despair.
Just a future.
Nothing more.
I no longer have any need for a future.
You damn wolf! No, don't! Blue Lord Darcia! Cheza! Kiba! CHEZA! Blue! Why? Why, Blue? Blue! Jaguara! That way! Did that wolf just talk?! I can go see you whenever I like.
I know we will meet again.
Yes, someday soon.
Darcia, I love you There's no such place as Paradise At the ends of the earth, there's nothing at all.
No matter how far you walk, the same road just keeps going on and on.
But in spite of that Why am I so driven to find it? I hear someone's voice calling to me It says, "Make your way to Paradise!" Men, Wolves, and The Book of the Moon Next Time Next Time "You are out of luck today.
" "You are out of luck today.
" "You will not find what you seek, and those you await will not come.
" "But there is a hint of new love in the air.
" "It is a time when your honesty will be put to the test.
" Dream of an Oasis Dream of an Oasis "Your lucky color is white.
" Dream of an Oasis
