Lycoris Recoil (2022) s01e02 Episode Script

1
The Alan Institute
is a mysterious support organization
that has expanded globally.
It's uncertain whether it's actually
an individual or a group.
But they seek out geniuses suffering
from poverty or other obstacles,
and provide free assistance.
It ranges from sports, literature,
entertainment, medicine, and technology.
I didn't come here to listen to something
that even a child would know.
In other words,
they're not a group that would kill.
It's a fact that they tried
to get rid of me.
The question is, how did they identify
the location of my condo?
Ka-boom!
I’m surprised you were able
to record it.
Right? I got myself
a new drone just for this.
That current location of yours
isn't a dummy, is it, Walnut?
So it was you.
You sold me off to those guys.
I got it!
The time for someone else to take over
the top hacker in this country has come!
Farewell, old geezer!
EMERGENCY: FROM WALNU
Walnut?

TO TAKINA
MY HAND-PICKED RECOMMENDATIONS
CHISATO SELECTIONS
Oh no! I fell asleep!
Crap, not good. Oh no, not good.
Um, this one! And this!
Sorry to make you wait!
Chisato is here!
Oh, Mr. Yoshi. Welcome!
You haven’t been here in almost a month.
You remembered me?
Well, this café doesn't have
that many patrons.
Oh, I'm just joking.
You were Takina's first customer,
so I wouldn't forget.
Where were you this time?
United States? Europe?
I know! China, right?
So close! I was in Russia.
Here's a souvenir.
Huh? What is this?
You met Teach in Russia, too?
Chisato, hurry up and get ready.
Awe come on, can’t you tell me?
We'll talk about that some other day.
I'll just excuse myself now, then.
Thank you for the souvenir!
Chisato.
So? How urgent is this?
A group of armed assailants
is currently chasing the target.
That's a big deal.
Takina, have you heard
the details about the job?
Yes, roughly.
Okay.
Oh, you know the goods
I talked about yesterday?
I left it over there so you should take it
when you're heading out.
Wait, where's Mizuki?
She's already securing the getaway route.
She's unusually enthusiastic.
The reward was triple market price,
paid in full and in advance.
No wonder.
It just means this is a critical situation.
The enemy count is five to ten.
Amateurs that are almost pro-level.
I've confirmed
they have rifles, too. Be careful.
Roger that. Let's go!
By the way, I'm hungry.
We don't have time.
That will be the getaway route.
After we get past the gates at Haneda,
we will swap with Mizuki.
Um, are you listening?
Yup. The client is an amazing hacker, right?
I wonder what kind of person they are.
Maybe something like
a thin, short man with glasses.
Click, clack, TAP!
You've been watching too many movies.
Takina, what is that?
A jelly drink.
No, no, Miss Takina.
Do you understand
our current situation?
We are on a limited express train
to meet up with our client.
Right! We have to eat lunch before that.
I am doing so right now.
Huh? That's your lunch?
We're on a limited express.
Let's have some station lunch boxes.
You want some?
No thank you.
Oh, don't say that!
The flavored boiled egg is delicious.
Here. Say, "aah."
Is it yummy?
Yes.
Yup, it’s yummy.
Thank you for boarding this train.
We will arrive momentarily at Kitasenju.
Next stop, Kitasenju.
We're getting off.
We’re switching trains in less than 10 minutes.
That's why I chose the jelly.
Is that so?
For Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line bound
for Ueno, Ginza, and Nakameguro.
You weren't listening after all.
Walnut is dead?
That's the rumor on the Dark Web.
However, he has died multiple times
in the past 30 years.
He's an enigmatic figure.
It would help us a lot if he disappeared
with all the intel he drew out from us.
But I can't rest easy from geeks' rumors.
Also, we have analysis results from
that photo submitted to us from LycoReco.
It was indeed about three hours
before we commenced the operation.
So we were given a false time for the deal.
We really have lost our touch.
It's rather blurry. Can you get any details?
It will take a bit more time,
but we will make sure to.
Hey, Takina.
After we meet up with this hacker named Walnut,
how are we going to get to Haneda?
You really weren't listening to anything at all.
Huh? I'm sorry!
Can you tell me again, Lady Takina!
Our manager arranged a car for us
in the parking lot.
What, seriously?
- Yes, yes, yes! I’ll drive!
- No, I will.
Huh? Why? Takina, can you
actually drive a car?
You can't become a Lycoris if you couldn't.
It’s that parking lot over there.
Whoa! It's a supercar!
- Wow! Amazing!
- That really stands out.
I’m going to drive it after all!
Wow, what's that?
Wal
nut.
Hurry up and get in.
Pursuers are coming!
What? Was that a codeword?
That was so tacky.
Huh? Hey! Wait!
What about that supercar?
I wanna go in the supercar!
Why is the target to protect
so gallantly showing up in a car?
It's the other way around, isn't it?
Oh man. The supercar.
It stands out, so this is better.
Sorry things are different
from the plan. I'm Walnut.
Yeah, okay. I'm Chisato.
And she's Takina.
You're quite different from
the Mr. Hacker that I had imagined.
You thought I would be some
malicious, thin, four-eyed boy?
If so, you've seen too many movies.
See, I knew it.
No, no, no. But in any case,
nobody would imagine a character costume.
Simply put, hackers live longer
by hiding their faces.
A high school girl assassin
is more abnormal than me, Lycoris.
It's more rational than a bear hacker.
Takina, that's a dog.
It's a squirrel.
How is it rational?
In other words, this outfit
is the least alarming in Japan.
So a girl's high school uniform
is urban camo, so to say.
What's this big thing?
My life belongings.
It's better to travel light if you're fleeing
out of the country, no?
But you sure don't look lightly dressed.
But I'm jealous.
I want to travel overseas, too.
Wanna come with me?
We don't have entries in family registries,
so we can't get passports.
They're not coming.
Right.
It doesn't look like anyone is coming after us.
Should we just head straight to Haneda?
No, we're told to change cars.
Mr. Walnut, please head to this location.
Got it.
ON A CALL
Let’s see.
He got two chicks in the car.
If they get in the way, you can kill them.
Sorry. They shook us off around the park.
So useless. At least work
as much as you're paid.
What a nasty guy.
Huh? Aren't you going on the expressway?
What's going on?
No, that's our line.
They took over the car.
Hold on a second, now!
Must be Robota. He's gotten good.
Where are we headed?
We're accelerating.
He's planning to plunge us
straight into the ocean.
Sever all circuits.
No. Even if we regain control,
Robota would overwrite that immediately.
That's right, Walnut!
Huh? Then what should we do?
If we could physically sever ourselves
from the internet the moment
we finish the process on our end
Huh? Where's the router?
I don't know. This isn't my car.
Miss Chisato, over there.
So that’s the one.
If he catches on, it will get away.
Nah, I'm not confident about that.
I'll leave that to you, Takina.
All right, regaining control.
Three Two One
How futile!
Everyone, stay still for now.
We'll all get out on my mark.
M-My suitcase
I'll get it.
Let's change locations for now.
He has armed bodyguards.
Don't screw up so many times, got that?
He has bodyguards.
Let’s proceed with caution.
Yeah!
Let's go.
Yeah.
Yes. We've evacuated
into that supermarket.
No obvious wounds on any of us.
All right. Be careful
when you’re moving around.
I see through it all, you know.
These are your orders. Listen up.
Please follow me.
I found them! They’re armed!
Here goes!
Oh, damn it!
Huh? No! Wait!
Don't use that as a shield!
Hey, you can't do that!
I told you
that was something valuable, didn't I?
Takina, it sounds like you can't do that!
Enough! Get back!
Don't ask for the impossible!
You had your chance!
It’s not hitting her!
Stay still. I'll treat that wound.
What are you
You're bleeding.
Let's escape
before enemy backup arrives.
VASELINE
Hold on for a bit.
They'll surround us.
He's going to die.
The enemy isn't watching
the getaway route yet.
We can still make it.
I'll be right behind you guys.
Let's go.
What's the meaning of this?
Can't you tell? Triage.
Stop it. Are you mocking me?
Do you want to die, then?
S-Stop that.
Who will you eat dinner with tonight?
My family
That sounds nice.
What?
The guys I shot will be fine.
Rubber bullets, huh?
That's enough.
Hurry up and go.
All right. Make sure to get
some iron in your diet.
Don't go that way.
Our hacker's drone is watching.
He's waiting for you.
Huh? Wait
Takina! Don’t go outside!
Walnut!
All right! I landed at least 10 shots!
What now? Should I get
those bodyguard girls too?
No need.
Let's go eat something.
We failed. The escort target has died.
An emergency vehicle
will arrive very soon.
Gather up the corpse and the luggage,
and get away from there.
Roger that.
Are those bodyguards
that are near him?
Should we have killed them off, too?
No, you did a fine job. This finally ends
all of my requests from last month.
Thanks for working hard for so long.
I'll ask for your services again sometime.
Now that I'm the best hacker in Japan,
you can ask me anything, anytime!
See you!
A bird does not foul the nest
that it is about to leave.
That's what's so good about you, Robota.
Just like a tool.
I'm sorry.
It's not your fault, Takina.
I guess it's been long enough now?
So hot! Give me a beer!
Mizuki!? Huh? Wh-What? How?
- Calm down, Chisato.
- Huh? Teach?
Oh, this is bulletproof.
The secret is that it makes
a flashy bloodbath.
It's seriously heavy as hell, though.
Um, what about the actual Mr. Walnut?
That's right! Where did he go?
Right here.
The best way to fully escape from pursuers
is to make them think you died.
Then they won’t inquire any further.
- Then you were shot on purpose?
- Huh? It's pitch black?
It was his idea.
Oh man, I totally had a Hollywood-class
gigantic explosion all ready,
but I guess it’ll go to waste.
It's a good thing
this all ended so quickly.
You properly handled an unexpected
turn of events. You did well.
W-Wait a minute!
I have so many things to ask!
So, in other words, everything
went as planned, and nobody is dead?
Right.
Oh, I'm so glad everyone is all right!
She's really good about paying up,
so I put my life on the line for this!
Sheesh! I thought I had let him die.
I can’t believe it. I'm so glad!
I'm really glad you were all right. Really!
Why don't you get out of
your foul mood already?
You could have told me about it
beforehand, don't you think?
But you're such a terrible actor.
It was better for you to be giving us
a natural reaction to things along with Takina.
See? Like this.
What are those photos?
And when did you take them, Mizuki?
Maybe the policy to value
people's lives is impossible?
If we had moved together back there, I don't think
we would have ended up with that result.
But if you did, it would have been
an inconvenience for me.
I can't leave the person
in front of me to just die.
We Lycoris are authorized to kill.
Worrying about enemies
Those guys
just happened to be enemies this time.
If nobody died in the end, that's good.
All's well.
I don't think that's what this is about.
Now, both of you, stop it.
I'm sorry that we executed an operation
that deceived both of you.
Oh Teach, you're going to bribe us
with sweets, aren't you?
You don't want any?
Oh no, I'll have some!
Takina.
Can you lay the cushions out
in the tatami room?
Sure.
As always, you're really good
at switching gears.
There was something in here just now!
She asked us to shelter her for a bit.
Don't make too much of a mess!
Huh? But why?
Oh, welcome.
I thought she was
a zashiki-warashi or something!
It's quite festive here.
You sure drop by often lately.
Your ohagi mochi is delicious.
To think you couldn't even make
decent coffee in the past.
It has been ten years after all.
Aren't you busy?
One of my jobs finally settled down.
I had some trouble cleaning up.
I was dealing with someone
as nimble as a squirrel.
So are you going to be living here?
On the condition that
I help you guys out with your work.
Just so you know,
I'm doing this at a huge discount.
If that's the case,
can you find the guy in this photo?
Oh, not the guy in the front,
but the tiny guy in the back.
Little Chisato!
Oh, Mr. Yoshi, welcome!
I'm a little busy right now,
so I'll talk to you later!
She's quite the lady now.
That thing?
Mika.
So you and Chisato here
What kind of work do you two do?
I was able to interpolate
the image resolution.
You're one of us now.
What's your name?
Walnu
Whoa, whoa! That's a dead guy, right?
Now tell us your real name.
Kurumi.
You just translated the word
into Japanese!
But that name suits you a lot better!
Nice to meet you, Kurumi.
Nice to meet you, Chisato.
Come on out.
Let's eat some dango together.
You too, Takina!
Ow! Ouch!
