No. 6 (2011) s01e03 Episode Script
Life and Death
These are all books?
You want me to read this?
"Here's the smell of the blood still."
"All the perfumes of Arabia
will not sweeten this little hand.
Oh, oh, oh!
What a sigh is there!
The heart is sorely charged—"
I'm actually impressed by how flat that was.
You'll make Macbeth cry.
So your name is Macbeth?
It's the name of that book.
Haven't you heard of Shakespeare?
We were discouraged from reading
any of the classics!
Yeah, yeah.
But I can remember my mom
reading to me when I was a kid.
Yes There was a story about a town with
a statue of a prince and a swallow.
"The Happy Prince."
Oscar Wilde.
Give to the poor!
My ruby
My sapphires
My gold leaf plating!
A story of hypocrisy and complacency,
for humans who know nothing of true tragedy.
Right up your alley, eh?
Life and Death
You want to contact your mom?
She's probably worried about me.
You're gonna break.
Memories, regrets, your past in general
Too much extra baggage,
and you'll break eventually.
The same goes regarding your mother.
Forget about her.
Why would I do that?
They're dangerous
You threw away your No. 6 ID
because it was dangerous.
The same goes for any lingering
attachments you may feel.
Those attachments can cripple you,
before you've even realized it.
So I should forget everything?
Forget everything.
Then how about you?
Me?
You risked your life to save me.
That contradicts what you just said.
You have a nasty streak.
You once saved my life.
I returned the favor.
End of story!
You're right.
You are taller than I am now.
Man
Must you be such an airhead?
You're the one who told Rat I was in danger?
Thanks.
It was this guy.
They've been equipped with a number of sensors.
It's pretty easy for them to move about the city.
They're robots?
Wow! They really look alive!
He just happened to see your predicament.
I've spent years snooping around with these
Looking for No. 6's Achilles' heel.
Achilles' heel
Rat, you've been investigating No. 6.
Have you noticed anything abnormal?
Abnormal?
Anything involving bees?
Hey, now
That would be your specialty.
Hey, Sion. What's wrong?
Huh?
Your hands
W-What is this?
Sion!
Hey!
What's wrong, Sion?
My neck
Your neck?
This is
Cut it off
We don't have any anesthetics here!
Don't bother!
Just hurry!
Hold on!
I'll cut that thing off you!
Sion
Get a hold of yourself, Sion!
Rat No more
What?
Let me die
Don't give me that shit!
After all the effort I've put in,
I'm not letting you die!
Sion, don't you get it?
Your mommy will cry!
You want to make your mommy sad?!
And what about that girl?
The one called Safu!
Didn't you promise to see her again,
after two years?!
You don't know anything!
You don't know anything about
sex, books, or fighting.
But you're ready to die, Sion?!
Open your eyes!
Yes, that's a good boy.
You're doing well.
What's going on over there?
Just you wait, No. 6.
I will expose the hidden infection within.
What's with the long face?
Aren't you excited about studying abroad?
Is it Sion?
Don't worry.
Two years will pass in no time.
Grandmother
Besides, I've made lots of friends here.
The Twilight House is a wonderful place.
So you focus on your studies,
and don't worry about a thing.
Even when we're apart,
we'll be connected in our hearts.
Water
Impossible
What's going on?
You've been asleep for three days.
Those marks are only on your skin.
Your veins aren't swollen.
You're lucky.
No
I can't take this.
Why is this happening?
I think it's quite charming.
No! No!
Consider them medals of honor.
For surviving.
This is punishment
Yamase's dead, but I'm alive
This is my punishment!
Raise your head.
Look at me, damn it!
Sion, do you regret it?
Regret what?
Surviving.
Would you prefer death to your current appearance?
Answer me, Sion!
Rat
I want to live
Good.
In this world, the survivors are the victors.
You shouldn't feel bad about being alive.
Rather, you should be concerned with how
you'll survive another day.
And from time to time,
remember those who are gone.
That should be enough.
He says we should eat.
You hungry?
What kind of soup are you making?
Macbeth soup.
What's that?
You cook eye of newt, toe of frog,
and wool of bat in a cauldron
In that case, I'll pass.
I'm joking.
Help yourself.
Delicious.
It's a pupa.
Of a bee, most likely.
You can tell?
I saw a bee fly out of Yamase's neck.
A parasite bee, living within humans
And when did the egg enter your body?
I don't know.
All I know is that it happens without your noticing,
and that the egg matures at an alarming rate.
Finally, it emits some kind of substance
that kills its host.
Rat?
Idiot! What was that for?
I'm all wet now!
Well, I thought you were going into hysterics
Why would you think that?!
Because you suddenly started laughing.
I was laughing at how funny this is.
Funny?
I mean, this thing came from No. 6.
Mysterious killer bees are loose
in mankind's newest city.
What a riot.
It's not funny!
People are dying!
It's funny!
That city only accepts
those who are completely submissive.
You were one, weren't you?
I pledge unflagging loyalty to the city.
The city doesn't forgive
deviants who resist, object, or fight.
That's how the city works.
But
And you're considered a deviant.
I'm a deviant?
You bet.
You harbored a VC,
and you suspected the city
of manipulating information.
Deep down, you knew the city was a lie.
That's why they tried to kill you off.
And now, the city is being attacked by killer bees.
Serves them right.
But we have to do something!
It's futile.
I survived
My body may have developed
antibodies to the bee's poison.
In that case, we could use my blood
to create a serum!
Stupid.
You think they'll believe you?
So what do we do?
Ignore them.
We'll have prime seats for the city's collapse.
Rat!
Hey! No more water!
You think the West District will be safe?
We're all humans!
Those bees could spread out here!
The people in that city don't consider us human.
This is a dump for that holy city.
No. 6 prospers by unloading
anything unsanitary here.
Besides, I have a hunch.
Those monsters will only
infest people inside those walls.
I haven't heard of
anything like that happening here.
Maybe because there aren't suitable hosts here?
No way
And then, I've heard of a number
of suspicious deaths, in No. 6,
all labeled accidental.
These monsters are gourmets.
Sorry.
I wasn't trying to make you feel bad.
You were one of the people living inside.
I don't understand this inside-outside business.
Of course not.
Because you never tried to understand.
You people accepted information
given to you, without question.
You lived in ignorance, arrogance, and bliss.
I can only pity you.
Now that No. 6 has dumped you,
you'll never have the chance to climb back in.
Rat
Hmm?
I want to know the truth.
What reality is
What's happening to the world I inhabit
I want the facts.
How can you say that stuff straight-faced?
Come with me.
Rat, where are we going?
A hotel.
A hotel?
That's just a normal paper wasp.
Spring
Hmm?
As winter approaches,
bees enter a state of hibernation.
The parasite eggs will remain
dormant during winter.
And once spring comes
Once it's time to mature and move about,
they'll all hatch at once.
I like the sound of that.
It'll be like a spring festival.
What was the name again
Of the holiday celebrating the
date No. 6 was founded?
The Holy Day.
The Holy Day!
But during the festivities,
the killer bees will begin to consume their hosts,
filling the air with screams!
That'll be something to behold.
Rat.
Why do you hate No. 6?
Why?
We're here.
Th-This place used to be a hotel?
It still is.
Huh?
A dog?
What is this place?
A den for wild dogs?
Did we pass the test?
Welcome, guests.
Put that thing away, Rat.
You're the one who failed to
provide a proper reception.
Who's that?
Dogkeeper.
The information I asked for
You know how it works.
Money up front.
Who are the people in these rooms?
My customers.
I provide cheap lodging
for people with nowhere to sleep.
What about the dogs?
I rent them out as heaters.
So people don't freeze to death.
So that's why you're called Dogkeeper
Rat, I found a whole bunch
of goodies when I was looking into your request.
You'll have to pay extra.
Ah.
What do you think you're doing?!
It's from Mom
Huh?
This is Mom's handwriting!
Rat, did you send my mom a message?
It wasn't me.
One of my little rats
happened to be passing through.
Thank you.
Wait.
If you got a message to my mom,
we can send others.
We can warn people about the parasite bees!
Parasite bees?
That's it
We can send a message to the Bureau of Health.
It may take a while,
but I'm sure we can convince them!
R-Right
We have a sample of the pupa.
Most importantly, I survived!
If we develop a cure before spring,
we can save No. 6.
Sion.
It's possible that after learning the truth,
you'll still choose to protect No. 6.
If that's your decision
you'll be my enemy.
Rat, your real name is Eve?
I'm a fan. A big fan.
Friends?
Only an idiot would try to be friends
with that heartless bastard.
That should be enough!
Sion, you and I are strangers.
Strangers don't need to know each other's secrets.
You saved me again.
He belongs to me.
You lose, Rat!
Revenge? Against me?
Stop posing.
You're just as bad as I am.
Why do you think I'm so irritated?
Good and Evil
You're the one who's
I want to know more about you.
You want me to read this?
"Here's the smell of the blood still."
"All the perfumes of Arabia
will not sweeten this little hand.
