Wolf's Rain (2003) s01e23 Episode Script
Heartbeat of the Black City
Why is there such a vast amount of energy in just this one place? It gives me the creeps Lost City, the most remote city left behind by the lost world.
This is Jaguara's Her keep's inside there, huh? What do you intend to do with Cheza? All right, don't stop.
Keep the line moving Sorry, sir.
This way, please.
Hey H-Hey, I'm just It was this, huh? Wow, it's so warm! See? What did I tell you? Right? Yeah, but what's the deal? It stinks! Quit your complaining! How did you know about this? I can't say for sure, either.
Chalk it up to instinct, I guess.
Instinct, huh? Look at how high the ceiling is! I've never seen a dome this big before! So, what now? Cheza's got to be inside the keep.
In that case It should be that way.
How do you know that? Hey, let's split into two groups.
You guys look for a way in or something.
Toboe and I will go gather information.
And fill your gut while you're at it? Now, now, we'll get enough for you guys, too.
Right? Yeah! Just leave it to us! I suppose it would attract less attention than moving around together.
Hige, we'll check out the area around the keep.
Okay.
Let's meet back here at moonrise, then.
Wait for me, Hige! Something about this place bothers me I feel like we're being watched.
Maybe the keep is up there.
It looks like you can't get into the city without an ID.
Then let's get some soon, okay? Easier said than done How do we do that? Hey, ladies! Whoa, they're hot! Didn't I tell you they were babes? Mind if I ask you something? Oh, and what might that be? Do you boys have IDs? Can't you tell by lookin'? Never mind, then.
Aw, what the hell? That's so cold! Whoa, this one's even younger 'n hotter! Let's go.
Wait! Let go! What's the problem? Let's have some fun! A little fun won't kill you! Stop that.
Man, I love your eyes! We're trembling in our boots! If you don't get lost right now, you're gonna regret it.
"Regret"? I don't know the meaning of the word! You okay? Yes.
Me, too! Golly, you're so strong! I'm tingling all over! See ya around! What was that all about? Who knows? Thank you.
Like I thought, no one is a match for your strength.
I guess.
But you have some great weapons of your own.
Brains, guts, and the usual feminine arsenal.
Hey, we ought to be able to find food, drink, and anything else in here.
Right, Hige? After you turn this corner, there's a stairway leading up And past that Hige? It's really here! What's going on, Hige? Watch where you're going, you little morons! Looks like this place has people like Tsume, too What now? Going straight through the front gate would be suicide.
I'm not saying that out of fear.
I just don't want to do anything pointless.
Just come out and say it.
"Let's look for a back door.
" Oh, right There's that option, too.
Pardon the interruption, milady.
A report has come in that #23's signal has been detected within Lost City.
What would milady like us to do? #23 Yes, milady.
This would mean that all have returned.
And that the long-awaited time has drawn near.
Leave me.
Yes, milady.
The last wolf, hidden by the blinding light of the moon What will he be like, this wolf who will lead me to Paradise? Hey, wait for me, Hige! Hige! Just past here, there's a little elevator And past that It's really here! This oughta take us all the way up.
Hey, shouldn't we head back? Look, we'll be fine.
Let's go as far as we can.
Amazing How did you know? You've been here before, right? Nope.
But when you get to be like me, you can tell just by experience.
I don't like this place What can I get you? A vodka.
And could you fill this up? We finally mopped up what was left of Orkham's troops, huh? What a miserable way to go.
Well, that means the world belongs to Lady Jaguara now.
Speaking of which, what's with that snazzy dresser they brought in? Oh, that guy they captured with the Flower Maiden? Apparently, he keeps claiming that he's a detective.
So, we put detectives in dungeons these days, huh? You aren't from around here, are you, sir? Where did you come here from? From the ends of the earth, to look for wolves.
He says he's a wolf hunter! Too bad there's no bounties to be had here, not anymore.
Bounties? What's the point of bounties? Sorry, sorry We didn't mean to laugh, but, well It looks like you're a little late.
We've already killed pretty much all of 'em.
We just got a "mission completed" notification from Lady Jaguara a while ago.
You know who we are, don't you? We're Anti-wolf Special Ops.
You won't find any more of 'em no matter where you look.
They aren't that easy to kill.
There are still wolves around.
I know it for a fact.
Hey, this city doesn't have any scent at all.
That "Jaguara" lady must be a clean freak.
Wait for me, Hige! What's the matter? My head hurts when I try to think Probably because it's not used to the strain.
Come on, Hige.
What's the matter? It's nothing.
You're lying.
You've been acting funny since we got here.
Get off my case, damn it! Hige! Hige? Hige! Hige! Hige! Thief! Looks like even a city like this has people who are like the old you.
Yeah, looks that way.
But it's guys like that who know the back alleys better than anyone.
W-What do you want? I want to talk.
You can't scare me! I don't have any food to hand out to guys.
Go find your own! I want to ask you something.
C'mon, let's head home, eat, and grab some sleep.
What's the deal? If it's a fight you want, that's fine by me.
B-Big man All right, I give.
You two are too tough.
Where are you two from? Oh, here and there.
We've been wandering around from dome to dome, ourselves.
Rumor had it that this one was the biggest and nicest, so we came to check it out.
But was it? So, what do you want to know? Is there a way to get into the keep without being spotted? Keep? You mean Lady Jaguara's keep? That's right.
Forget it, forget it.
Not even you two could get in there.
What do you want to get in there for, anyway? To take back a woman.
From that Noble, you mean? You had me going there for a minute! We're serious.
Forget about it, okay? Messing with a Noble is just plain Besides, all the rumors say that Jaguara is a witch that casts these weird spells We don't care who she is.
We're going to take back Cheza.
That's why we came all this way.
Geez, you guys are too much for us to handle.
Fine, see if I care what happens to you.
We'll show you the way, and that's all.
That'll be enough.
We'll handle the rest ourselves.
Damn, you're cool! Big man Crap What is this, a shakedown? You tricked me! Are you in the mood for another beating? A-All right, all right! Here.
Take 'em and get lost! If you'd done that in the first place, you wouldn't have gotten hurt.
Beautiful flowers always have thorns.
You'd do well to remember that.
This is the place.
Nobody's followed it all the way down there yet, but the cables around here definitely lead underneath the keep.
I see.
Word has it that these things carry energy into our city.
Do you feel that? Yeah.
It's the opposite of how it feels when I'm basking in the light of the moon.
It feels like my strength is being sapped away.
Looks like it'll get even worse up ahead.
Yeah.
Um Are you really gonna go? Yeah.
Thanks for the help.
The others might be waiting for us.
You don't feel like going back, do you? Let's go on ahead.
I bet Hige will manage to catch up with us.
Let's have a little faith in them.
Good luck wolves.
Damn it What the hell is wrong with me? #23, huh? Doesn't look like any others are with him.
They spared me? But why? My head is killing me Heartbeat of the Black City Next Time Next Time Crap, my head hurts! Crap, my head hurts! At times like this, a little massage by a cute girl would get me back on my feet in a flash But I guess talking about my dreams won't help Scent of a Trap I guess I'll see if some pickled plums will help Scent of a Trap
