The Kingdoms of Ruin (2023) s01e01 Episode Script

1
A long, long time ago,
God created mankind.
Then, He created witches.
He shared His power with the witches
and instructed them
to guide all of the powerless people
on His behalf.
The witches followed God's command
and vowed to live a peaceful with mankind
by giving them love and devotion.
But now
We don't need witches!
-Kill her!
-Kill the witch!
Just die!
We don't need witches!
THE MIGHTY REDIA EMPIRE,
WITCH HUNT COMMEMORATION
All of you humans
should die!
"SOLUSABIA REGION, REDIA EMPIRE"
Hey,
"SOLUSABIA REGION, REDIA EMPIRE"
Are we not at the border yet?
My legs are dying.
And the weather is scorching.
"THE WITCH'S APPRENTICE, ADONIS"
Chloe, are you listening to me?
Be quiet.
-I'm checking our location right now.
-I'm exhausted.
Just use your magic.
I just want to feel a little bit cooler.
Idiot.
"ICE WITCH, CHLOE MORGAN"
My magic is not a plaything.
If you keep complaining,
I'll leave you behind.
Let me see.
If this is north
I know where we are now.
Hey, you!
I told you not to use weird devices.
What if they manage to track us?
This is not a weird device.
This is a smartphone.
And I
made this phone myself.
So, it can't be tracked.
I've also added
multiple meta photon encryptions
to the signal with
Written Summoning Magic.
They can't find me even with
military triangulation tracking method.
And it doesn't need batteries.
Isn't it convenient?
By the way, what era are we in?
Using a paper map is so old-fashioned.
I'll make another one for you next time.
You brat. I can't deal with you.
Okay. I got it now.
How long are you going to sit there?
Get up already.
What's wrong?
Why do we have to run like this?
Because I'm a witch.
Humans have a different perception
on witches.
Now, surviving
is already a difficult task.
I have to either live in the shadows
or cut myself off from society.
Rather than being a witch,
I feel like a ninja.
Ninja.
Ninjutsu.
Let's go, Adonis.
Sure.
Avoid unnecessary conversations
until we've crossed the border.
Okay.
To regain our stable and happy life,
we need to find a country
that is more open to witches.
And we need to find a place
where you can go to school.
Maybe you'll find someone you like.
Even for someone like you.
You said not to engage
in unnecessary conversations, right?
I don't need to go to school.
I just want to be your disciple.
Looks like you like older women.
That's not true!
What nonsense are you talking about?
Chloe.
How can you be so carefree about it?
Don't you resent this unfairness?
I hate it.
I hate this country, I hate Redia Empire.
We can just destroy those humans
with magic
Did you say something, Adonis?
Chloe, something is approaching us.
We are the eighth team
of the West Detachment.
Calling HQ. Please answer.
We've found a witch on the run.
We'll take her down at once.
I'll fight them.
No.
You can't master your magic well yet.
Chloe.
Ice Magic.
Silver Staff.
Why do you
never learn?
I'm really sorry,
Your Majesty.
23RD EMPEROR OF REDIA EMPIRE, GOETHE
Useless prick.
Please forgive me for being frank.
But Witch Chloe is a high-level witch
who controls the Ice Magic.
I'm afraid that a small detachment
at the border
How dare you!
How could you disrespect His Majesty?
How insolent.
That's not true.
I didn't mean to be disrespectful.
Cut the nonsense.
Go and capture that witch at once.
I won't let you get away,
Witch Chloe.
I'm tired.
Okay. Let's go.
What's wrong?
Why did you stop me from fighting them?
Magic!
I can use magic too.
Why didn't you let me fight?
I could've defeated
those useless soldiers myself.
Otherwise, why do I even learn magic?
Adonis.
As I said just now,
your magic power is not mature enough yet.
As your apprentice,
I'm more than capable enough.
I'm going to get mad
if you continue to be like this.
It's because I'm a human
just like them, right?
Because you are a kind person.
So, you don't want me
to kill one of my own.
Even if you are oppressed by mankind,
you continue to act tough
so that I won't fight against humans.
You won't allow me to fight them.
But
I
can't stand it anymore when I fail
to protect you again and again.
Because I
Chloe
Me too.
Adonis.
What?
We are floating. What is this?
Wait Has it been completed?
The long-distance teleportation
that even the witches are incapable of.
It's okay, Chloe.
I'll be with you.
Source code input completed.
All the modules are active.
No signal interruption.
Predictive algorithm of the spectral space
QS teleportation. Success rate, 99%.
Understood.
Proceed according to protocols.
Set the destination
to the central square of the capital.
Set the coordinate to 23-94.
Start the countdown
for physical teleportation.
Today, I'm not speaking
to all of you as your emperor,
but as a human.
Since ancient times,
we've been protected by magic.
To escape catastrophe and illness,
we have to ask the witches for help.
We thank them and worship them.
And we start to fear them.
We fear them for their magic power
that is beyond the comprehension of mankind.
Isn't that unfair?
Are we weaklings who can only
be at the mercy of the witches?
Can't we live with dignity?
No.
Look.
Look at these airships
that dotted the skyline.
And this metropolis
that remains standing against the storms.
We have fully automated trains
and we continue to make new discoveries.
And in your hands,
you are holding smartphones
that symbolize the pith of our wisdom.
That is the Gear Expansion Revolution
our country has brought forth that leads
to the development of new technologies.
We are definitely not weaklings.
Even without the strange power of magic,
we can change nature with our own power
and control it.
My fellow mankind.
It's now time to exterminate the witches.
We will show the world
that humans are the masters of this world.
Be proud of yourself,
mankind!
My dear.
Your speech was so inspiring.
Yes.
The world is in a better place
by exterminating all of the witches.
What's wrong with them?
Witch Chloe.
Finally, we meet.
He is
Emperor Goethe.
Run, Chloe.
I'll buy you some time.
Stand down!
You
Let go of me! Darn it!
I see.
Is this a human boy
who's raised by a witch?
How despicable.
Listen to me, the king of humans.
If you value your people's lives,
let my apprentice go.
Right now.
"ICE MAGIC, ABSOLUTE ZERO"
Is silence your answer?
Humans.
You are humans just like Adonis.
I don't want to fight with you.
If I destroy everything,
he won't have a place to go back to.
But,
for him to survive,
your existence is too dangerous.
My magic
is gone?
Witch.
You can't understand it, right?
"MAGIC PHOTON SUPPRESSOR SDAM-2"
The power of science
"MAGIC CANCELLATION IN ACTION"
that is within our control.
You've never expected this, right?
You never thought that you would one day
get hunted by the humans you saved, right?
Why can't I activate my magic?
Hand over this world to us.
Chloe!
A witch who can't use magic
is just a normal woman.
She's all naked. This is so funny.
Hurry up and take a photo.
It's the naked body of a witch.
Why are you covering yourself up?
Now, I can't get a photo of you.
You scoundrels.
How dare you do that.
I'm going to kill you!
Chloe.
Wait for me.
I'll save you now!
What an annoying brat.
Get rid of him.
Your Majesty.
This is my own fault.
It has nothing to do with that child.
As you said,
the witches should be exterminated.
But that child is different.
He's human too.
I kidnapped him
and raised him as my slave.
He's just a pitiful and sad young boy.
Please
Please pardon him with the power you wield
as the master of the country
and spare his life.
You can do whatever you want to me.
A slave?
What are you talking about?
Please have mercy
It's okay.
I will
kill all of them now.
What is
going on?
What's going on?
Adonis.
Thank you for everything.
Meeting you
Meeting you
-is the best thing that ever happened to me.
-is the best thing that ever happened to me.
I love
Stop!
Stop!
I was
I was
I was
really happy.
God told us this.
"Witches.
Humans will fear you
because of their own fear.
May you become their friends
and bring peace to their world.
If you hate each other,
the world will fall into
chaos and darkness."
THE KINGDOMS OF RUIN
"The Beginning."
10 YEARS LATER
REDIA EMPIRE, ANDROMEDA
CONTROL AREA 7, MAYHEM PRISONER ASYLUM
Wait. That's mine!
Are you kidding? That's mine!
Don't be so greedy, you sow!
What did you say?
Let go of it!
You should let go of it,
you ugly duckling!
Excuse me
Please stop fighting.
If you don't mind,
"CAPTURED YOUNG WOMAN, DOROKA"
If you don't mind,
"CAPTURED YOUNG WOMAN, DOROKA"
you can have this.
"CAPTURED YOUNG WOMAN, DOROKA"
Please get along with each other.
Just mind your own business.
You brat.
Doroka.
-Anna.
-Are you okay?
You gave your bread
to others again, right?
I'm fine.
I'm full of energy.
Look.
You are really something, Doroka.
I can't even take care of myself.
No matter how advanced
the Gear Expansion Revolution is,
humans still fight against each other.
War continues.
They say that mankind can be happy
as long as the witches are exterminated.
But why did we end up like this?
What's happening?
Anna, lift up your head.
Anna, why are you crying so much?
Sir Knight, we are prisoners.
Our country lost to the empire.
So, we are captured and taken here.
We are so scared right now.
I see.
But don't worry.
Everything will surely get better.
Doroka will find a way out of this
on behalf of me. Understood?
Are you not going
to do anything, Sir Knight?
Prisoner 218.
Prisoner 218, come out.
Where are you? Come out now.
-Prisoner 218.
-Those who left never came back.
It's the fourth person already.
Who is it?
Who is it? Come out now!
Here.
It's me.
Okay. Come with me.
Doroka
That is
my number.
She looks okay and her age is fine.
Next
Take off her clothes.
What?
Why are you so shocked?
"MAYHEM PRISONER ASYLUM, WARDEN PALPOL"
You have to serve high-ranking officers.
"MAYHEM PRISONER ASYLUM, WARDEN PALPOL"
So, I need to check your body
properly, right?
It takes a lot of money to run this place.
After all, this place runs on the money
of the people of this empire.
So, you have to serve the people well.
Do you understand?
It's okay. You'll get used to it soon.
How despicable
Which country initiates
the Gear Expansion Revolution
that leads to the development of the world?
Which country defeats the witches
and regains the dignity of mankind
with their technology and military prowess?
It's our country, Redia Empire.
This expression is amazing.
I'll be able to sell you for a good price.
Let me send this photo
to our headquarters.
Photo sent.
That's painful!
Catch her! Hurry up!
That brat.
Stop right there!
No!
I have to free everyone.
Smartphone, unlock all prison doors.
All of them.
To proceed
"CONFIRMATION FAILED"
with the command,
the voiceprint of the person in charge
is needed.
Please!
Let everyone go!
Voice input failed.
I beg you, God!
Input failed.
Unlock the doors.
Failed.
Unlocked all the prison doors.
Input successful.
All the prison doors are open.
But why?
What's going on?
Everyone!
Run!
Doroka.
We need reinforcements at once!
Do not leave the prisons,
you darned slaves!
Damn it, don't get in my way!
VOICEPRINT CONFIRMED
All of the prison doors
are being unlocked.
You brat!
This is bad.
All of the doors are unlocked.
Really?
We have to write
a lot of reports for this.
That is
