Chrono Crusade (2003) s01e02 Episode Script
The Covenant
It was the golden twenties.
During a period where the dark of night
was still colored in evil,
this new continent, after the last war, achieved
unprecedented economic development,
and reveled in the spring of this age.
But a development that is too sudden,
just as it gathers people and things,
summons forth unseen strangeness and
inhuman things that writhe in the darkness.
Contractor
Who are you?
Well, who are you?
I'm Chrono.
I'm what you people call a devil.
What do you mean, a devil?
Just what I said, a thing that you humans fear.
Hey, are you all right?
I don't suppose you're hungry?
Here you are, eat up!
Thank you.
I'm Rosette. This is my
younger brother, Joshua.
Nice to meet you.
Hey, would it be all right if I shook your hand?
Are you really a devil?!
Yeah
Wow! This is so cool!
Aion
Joshua, don't go!
Joshua
Hey, Rosette.
How do you feel about Chrono?
Well, you're always together.
Listen, Claire says she wants
to work with Chrono too.
Oh, Anna, I simply said was that
he was wonderful, that's all.
Hey, really, how do you feel?
How? I don't really.
Oh, man, what are you guys thinking?
I'm sorry.
Chrono, good morning!
Hey, Rosette, good morning.
Where's Elder?
If you're looking for Elder, he's inside.
Although it looks like he was up all night.
Oh, Rosette.
This is the result of your all-nighter?
Yeah, I call it "Spirit"!
Spirit?
Would you take it over to Sister Kate for me?
Okay!
Be sure to hand it over!
You don't trust me? You're one to talk.
Didn't you recently filch the Gospel?
Well, to be honest, I'd be more
at ease if Chrono did it,
but with how much Sister Kate dislikes him
It can't be helped. After all, I'm
Oh, I'm tired of hearing that!
In what world will you find a charming devil
that is gallant morning, noon, or night,
and that will do the cooking and cleaning?!
Anyone would be frightened.
Even if Rosette was an exception.
Hey, what kind of bullet is it this time?
There's a devil inside it.
To be precise, at the time of impact,
the devil is released,
which produces an enormous amount
of mystical energy to strike your enemy.
What happens to the devil?
The devil, as it were, is changed into
a spiritual kind of energy.
It goes "boom!" at the same time
the mystical energy is released,
and is annihilated.
I think that it would be best not to use that.
Because there's a devil inside?
It's all right. Even Elder wouldn't make it into
a bullet if it were dangerous, right?
Maybe I'll fire a test round.
Rosette! We've got marching orders!
Monster!
Sorry to keep you waiting!
Delivery from the Magdalene Order!
Please step back!
You two again?
Aim for the horn! Even the Sacred
should be enough to break it!
All it did was make it madder!
Concentrate on one point!
This will end it!
Rosette, that's not good!
It's all right, it's wisdom, wisdom!
This is just like what you did before, right?
Because it lost its horn?
What is this sensation?
Well, continuing on from last time,
you two really are something.
It's not here.
All right, then.
How is it?
It's not here.
Let's try searching in a wider area.
That gun was loaded with the Spirit, wasn't it?
Yeah.
Why?
Because I thought it might go as well
as it did at the harbor last time.
I see. Then just like the case from before
The host was a devil worshiper after all.
Another devil worshiper?
I'll submit a detailed report soon.
Where is the devil's broken horn?
We submitted it to Elder.
A very appropriate decision.
In a way, this is almost disappointing.
This may be the first time I haven't shouted
at you during a mission debriefing.
It is a wonderful thing, Sister Rosette.
Thank you very much.
In any case, good work.
From now on, please do your best,
in this manner.
Yes, Ma'am. Excuse me.
Oh, I just lied.
Lord, please forgive me.
Rosette
Right now, Elder is making a sensor that will find
the whereabouts of the Spirit
by detecting its mystical power.
I'm sorry, Elder.
Don't be like that! It's not like you.
Remington?
So that was what really happened.
I'm sorry.
You weren't acting the way you normally do
when you're before Sister Kate, so
I can't lie to you, can I, Minister Remington?
I'll keep it a secret from Sister Kate.
I'll help too.
Who's there?
Is it this?
I can hear the voice of the hornless one
from inside of it.
All right, it's finished!
It's a satisfactory creation!
Is that really going to be useful?
I get the feeling that it's not quite reliable.
How rude! I said that it's a satisfactory creation!
Switch on!
Elder?
It seems that the Spirit is close by.
It couldn't be!
Stop!
A person?
Halt! Who are you?
You're late.
Yes, I'm sorry.
There is an unusually thick evil
hanging about that man!
The Militia will surround the intruder.
Be prepared for anything.
However, only Sacred rounds will be permitted.
Yes, Ma'am!
Class three and higher exorcists,
support the Militia!
Yes, Ma'am!
An exorcist's Government.45?!
Why is that gun
Stop it!
It's him!
The devil we saw this afternoon!
You have permission to fire the Sacred!
He's absorbed the mystical power of the Spirit!
He's completed himself with it
in place of his broken horn!
Attack!
You want this, don't you? Follow me!
All right, everyone, open fire on him.
Please wait! I'll take care of him!
No! Come back!
I've got you!
Rosette!
What have you done?
You, who have no rank, and no name,
you who are of the lowest standing
How dare you do that to my dear contractor?!
And now she's not moving!
Chrono
What's happening to him?
You have permission to use the Gospel!
But with the Gospel's power,
there is a chance that Chrono and Rosette
might get caught in it!
We cannot let the seal be broken!
Chrono actually is
Please wait!
Would you please wait until
Chrono moves away?
He no longer possesses reason
or anything else!
His existence truly is dangerous!
He's nothing more than the most powerful devil!
Devil?!
Then, should the worst happen, I will
Come back, Chrono! I'm okay, I'm okay!
Why is she able to trust a devil?
Rosette doesn't think of Chrono
as a devil, Sister.
Then what would you call him?
There, look and you'll understand.
For now,
all we can do is watch over them.
For now
Lord Joshua
Hey, Fiore.
Just now, there was a call from Lord Aion.
He said that he would call again later.
You could have called for me, you know.
Where is the Sinner Aion?
I, the Viscount Borzo, will myself
smash the traitor with a righteous blow!
Please leave.
Stand back.
Lord Joshua
Would you make some coffee or something?
I'll finish this up in no time.
Shut up!
Impossible
What are you?
Are you hurt?
I got cut a little.
Hey, did you hear? Rosette and Chrono
are going on a business trip!
No way! I want to go too!
They say that after they observe a casino,
they're even going to get to see an opera!
No way! I want to see it too!
And on top of that, they say that they're going
to stay at an extremely high class hotel!
Oh, it's no fair that only Rosette gets to!
O incarnation of destruction, Rosette,
please, please, please,
try to not destroy anything.
