Wolf's Rain (2003) s01e02 Episode Script

Lord Darcia.
I'm told that a wolf has appeared in the city to the north.
It is the first time since they passed into legend 200 years ago.
You were still a child back then.
Has the Flower Maiden woken? So it would seem.
Hamona Soon, you'll be able to wake, too.
Anything on the kirlian? Red code.
Any response to the tests? None, just as we thought.
So, she hasn't been asleep this whole time Yes, ma'am.
She may appear calm now, but the data shows that she's still in a fairly excited state.
Doctor Degré, you've got a telephone call.
Who is it? Your husband.
Er, your ex-husband.
Uh, Detective Lebowski.
Hello? Look, Cher, I don't really care what title they call me by.
What do you want? There's something that I want you to see.
What, did you catch an elephant this time? Humans aren't my field.
He was apparently one of the kids who caused that ruckus at the provisions warehouse.
He fell from the roof while he was fleeing the scene.
Are these tooth marks from a dog? That wound is still fresh.
What do you make of this? Are you trying to tell me that he was attacked by that dog that ran away? Beats me.
I should have taken some tooth molds when I had the chance.
I wonder why it hasn't been found yet? Someone ought to have spotted a dog that big wandering around the city.
Maybe we are being deceived.
Huh? No, forget it.
That's impossible.
- Hubb.
- Yeah? You didn't call me down here just because you wanted to see me, did you? Maybe.
You're such a flirt.
Here.
These taste better.
Aren't you hungry? Go on, you can have it.
It's not poisoned or anything.
See, it's fine.
Where'd you come from, fella? If you wander around here, the dog catchers are gonna get you.
You sure are warm.
Leara! 'Bye, now.
Don't.
Even if you followed me home, I wouldn't be able to keep you.
It's almost like you can understand me.
I'm really sorry.
What the hell?! Hold still, damn it! Leggo! Let me go, damn it! Hey, have you heard? They say that wolves have appeared in town.
Oh, my What's the world coming to? You don't suppose it's just a big dog, do you? It was really, really big, apparently.
They all say that they've never seen a dog like that before.
See? Nobody notices us.
This tastes terrible.
This is as good as it gets around here.
If I see a wild deer running around, I'll catch it for you.
Looks like some idiots are getting caught by the Nobles' troops.
Where are they taken? To the place we were at, I guess.
Perfect.
Huh? I'll mix in with them and sneak in.
What?! But we just fooled them to break out of there! I'm going back.
But why? I thought you were going to Paradise.
The scent is coming from inside those walls.
And that's the only entrance we know of.
You know what's inside there, don't you? The signpost that points the way to Paradise.
Forget it.
You can't get anywhere near Cheza.
Cheza? The Flower Maiden that was created from Lunar Flowers.
That's what they say, anyway.
Even if we went there, we wouldn't be able to do anything.
Even I never managed to sneak in as far as the lab.
Why did you try to sneak in? Just for kicks.
Don't you believe in Paradise, too? I'm not going.
I see.
Well, see you around.
Hey, Kiba! Man, talk about indifferent.
Fine, see if I care.
They say the Nobles have put a bounty on bands of thieves.
Have they? They've rounded up a bunch of people already.
Our raids lately have been a little too high-profile.
We're in danger, too.
Maybe we oughta leave the city.
We can sneak aboard the late-night freight train, and then Our next raid will be tonight.
Make the usual preparations.
And you're just gonna sit back and watch? You let Gehl die.
I ain't working with you anymore.
I don't wanna slow you down.
Suit yourself.
We meet at 12:00.
Get the word out.
The dog hairs stuck to the cage aren't the same as the hairs on the corpse's clothing.
And there's one other set of hairs, too.
Another set? In other words, there were two types of hairs around the cage.
What the hell is going on here? There's nowhere for them to hide Hubb, this isn't like you.
What's the matter? I thought you hated dogs.
What's gotten into you? Why are you so obsessed? I'm not obsessed.
It's just Well, I'm just looking for an excuse to see you.
Maybe I should track down that man.
Listen, Blue.
I know you can understand me.
Don't you dare let them get away.
Wolves are They're your enemy.
They're lying low somewhere, breathing their foul, demon's breath.
Um, thanks.
Huh? For the sausages.
Wha? You gave some to a dog.
To my dog, remember? Oh, that dog was yours? "That dog"? Oh, right! Yeah, that's right! How did you know? Um, I heard from the lady at the store.
What's its name? Name? It's Toboe.
"Toboe"? That's a weird name.
You think so? I guess so I'm Leara.
What's your name? I just said.
It's Toboe.
Not your dog, you.
Oh.
Uh, it's the same as mine.
I named it after myself.
You're pretty strange, all right.
You You're another You're in my way.
What is it, boy? A kid? No, that's no kid.
Jump! Hurry up! I was getting ready to! I found them That was them, all right.
Who the heck was that guy? And that black dog I have no idea.
You're Tsume, right? This is the first time I've ever met another wolf like me.
I heard rumors about you from the crows.
They said you make friends with humans and run wild with them.
I don't have any friends.
I'm Toboe.
Thanks for helping me back there.
I've also lived with humans my whole Just get lost, okay? I get pissed off when I'm around idiots like you.
Can't I come with you? Don't follow me! Hey.
Hige? What're you doing here? We're friends now, right? That sounds a little fishy coming from you.
Leara! Look, here's your bird.
Hey.
Wake up.
Leara? He's dead He's dead.
I didn't I didn't mean to.
I didn't think it would die.
It was your bird, so I just wanted to I didn't mean to kill it Granny, she I was all alone at the dome entrance, and she was really nice to me.
She said I was so little my eyes had barely opened.
She gave me these, and we lived together ever since.
Don't you mean that she kept you as a pet? You were tamed and turned into a dog.
I did not! I protected her.
But she still Threw you out? She still died.
She died.
I let her die.
Well, well, if it isn't Detective Dandy I want to ask you some questions.
And I want to show you something.
Sedo Nobody's coming.
Then why are you here? I'm leaving town, too.
Tsume, you're just too different from the rest of us.
Do you feel that? Feel what? I don't like this.
It feels like something is about to happen.
My nose isn't dry.
All I smell is mildew.
It's getting closer.
Wanna break out of here? Yeah.
Doctor? Doctor Degré? Oh, no, is it really this late already? Did something happen? No, ma'am.
There's been no change for a while, so I thought you might want to call it a night.
A pretty girl like me shouldn't look like this, huh? What the? 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? Everyone is resting now.
You look exhausted, as well.
You should rest a while.
It's been a long time, Cheza.
Can you sense my presence, though your eyes do not see me? You have nothing to fear.
You are awake now.
We can finally set out on our journey.
This way! Toboe, Who Doesn't Howl Next Time Next Time There's times in a man's life when he has to set out on a journey.
There's times in a man's life when he has to set out on a journey.
Just like there's times when a man has to drink.
Yeah, nothing beats hot sake on a cold night
