Tokyo Ghoul (2014) s01e04 Episode Script

1 Tsukiyama! Mmm Long time no see, Miss Kirishima.
What do you want? As cold as ever, I see.
Well, I suppose that's what's charming about you.
You disgust me, you prig.
You, with the eye patch You're new here, huh? U-Um U-um What's your name? K-Kaneki.
What a wondrous aroma.
Hey, you're interfering with our work, and you're gross, so get lost already.
You really are tactless, aren't you? I'll be by some other time to enjoy some coffee.
Some time when Mr.
Yoshimura is around.
O-Okay Ravissant.
See you later, Kaneki.
We'll meet again.
W-Who was that? Watch out for that guy.
He's one of the 20th Ward's parasites.
Mmm, merci.
Kaneki, huh? How intriguing that scent is.
Tell me, oh tell me, the way it works Who is that inside of me? Here in this broken-down, broken-down world, you laugh, without seeing a thing I'm just so damaged, I hold my breath and freeze Breakable, unbreakable; shakable, unshakable When I found you, it shook me In this twisted world, I'm gradually growing transparent and vanishing Don't look for me; don't look at me Don't look for me; don't look at me Don't look for me; don't look at me I don't wish to hurt you in a world of someone else's imagining Remember who I am What? A jam bun, again? It's all right.
This is the best on-the-go food there is.
You can't! You're still a growing girl! Eenie, meenie, miney, mo! Fried chicken! Here you go.
Huh? That's okay.
You can't survive on bread alone.
Here, eat this.
Geez I changed the seasoning on it.
What do you think? Huh? What? Ow! Well, it's pretty good.
Ah, I think you're just saying that.
No, really.
Pass it! Pass it! Pass it! Pass it! Pass it! Pass it Pass it Compliments to the chef.
I ate it, Yoriko.
"Monochrome of Rainbows" Kaneki Hey.
Oh, hi, uh Tsukiyama Shu.
May I? Oh, be my guest.
Merci beaucoup.
Um, Mr.
Tsukiyama, what brings you to Kamii University? What if I said I'm here to see you? Huh? Uh, well, I don't know.
This man is a gourmet, one of the 20th Ward's pests.
You appear to be quite the bibliophile.
I heard so from one of Anteiku's regulars.
Oh, not really.
I wouldn't go that far.
Books are nice, aren't they? With just one sentence, you can get lost in all sorts of dreams.
The way I think of it, literature allows the reader's consciousness to more deeply relish the author the closer he comes to him.
And so, we freely walk around the world of the story from the yarn spinner's view.
It's only when you immerse yourself in the world of a book that you are able to forget just who you are.
You like books, don't you? It has been many a story that has seen me through some bitter and painful times.
He's a lot like me What a surprise.
What a surprise.
You read Takatsuki, too? Oh, yes.
His style may be delicate, but it also has eloquence, and I'm terribly drawn to the elusive way in which he writes.
I like his style of writing, too.
You don't say.
Takatsuki, huh? Listen, Kaneki, there's this cafe that's run by an owner who loves books.
If you like, how about going there with me sometime? Rumor has it that Takatsuki Sen sometimes goes there, too.
Huh? Mr.
Takatsuki? Oh, uh, on second thought Miss Kirishima must have said something to you.
No, it's just No, it's okay.
I've always been easily misunderstood.
I haven't had anyone to talk to since Miss Kamishiro died, either.
Kamishiro? Miss Kamishiro Rize? I sensed the same kind of vibe from you that she had.
There aren't that many ghouls who are also into books.
I just wanted a friend who I could chat with about the things I like, in a nice, quiet place.
L-Listen i-if you'll settle for me All right, this Sunday at three o'clock.
He didn't seem like all that bad a person.
Kaneki, you can go home now.
Oh, okay.
Have a nice evening.
Oh, and Kaneki Yomo said he was waiting downstairs for you.
Mr.
Yomo? Downstairs? Um, where are we? He's as tight-lipped as always.
Doves have entered the 20th Ward.
Huh? You mean If it comes to it, you will be responsible for protecting yourself.
Let's go! Let's go! H-Hold on! You do a fair job of dodging but you're hopeless at the rest of it.
R-Right.
Stop by here on days you work.
I'll train you.
All right.
Are you coming with me? Huh? There's someone who wants to meet you.
So you're Kaneki, are you? I'm so glad you came to see me.
I've heard all about you from Ren and U, here.
I'm Itori, and this is my bar.
Pleasure to meet you.
Th-The pleasure is mine.
Now, now, don't be so stiff! Relax, Kaneki! U-Um Have you all known each other long? Well, we're pretty much stuck together.
Way back when, Ren and Uta were on terrible terms.
Because of them, the 4th Ward was even crazier than it is now.
We're on good terms now, though, right? I guess.
Ren really was beyond anyone's control, once upon a time.
Th-That bad? Mm-hmm.
Kind of like Miss Toka when she gets mad.
Ah, very similar! That is scary, huh? Enough talk about me.
Itori, didn't you have something to say to him? Ah, yes I do! Here, this is for you.
Oh, no, I'm still underage.
It's not wine, you know! Wah! Whoa! Whoo-hoo! Amazing! I've never seen this! A one-eyed ghoul! Sorry, sorry.
But right now, it's just us ghouls around.
Here, a token of my apology.
I wonder if the other one-eye is like him, too.
Who knows? U-Um, is there someone else besides me with only one, uh Oh, did that grab your attention? Yes.
All right.
Kaneki, you see, if a human and a ghoul fall in love, what do you think you get if you cross them? A human and a ghoul, you say? They die.
Death from infirmity.
The chances of getting pregnant itself are pretty low, though.
However, in extremely rare cases, one is born; a half-ghoul, half-human baby.
A half-human ghoul A half-blooded ghoul is far superior to a full-blooded one.
And this one only had a red eye on the one side.
But then, those stories are urban legend grade.
A one-eyed ghoul U-Um Oh? What is it? Ask me anything.
Do you know Do you know anything about Miss Kamishiro Rize? Oh-ho Why do you ask? The whole reason my body got to be this way started when I met her.
Mm-hmm Mm-hmm And yet, I don't know a thing about her.
I see.
Rize, huh? She was a troublemaker, whose death is shrouded in mystery.
Indeed, over the last few months, that has been the talk of the town.
A mysterious death? But it was an accident Oh? Do you really think that was just a common accident, Kaneki Ken? Itori That day, you see, rumor has it that a person was seen standing on top of the building, at the same time the accident took place.
Huh? S-So then, it wasn't a coincidence? Somebody killed Rize or some such.
Itori! I'm just saying! It's only a rumor.
A rumor! Who would Who would have done that? Kaneki Kaneki? Oh, yes? Has something happened? Oh, no.
Um, Mr.
Tsukiyama Hmm? What is it? What did you used to talk about with Miss Rize? Oh, Miss Kaneshiro? We talked about books and of course, we talked about dining.
Tsukiyama, I'm pleased by your invitation, but I have absolutely no interest in your members-only gourmet club.
W-Why not? Don't you wish to have a taste of something higher? Well, whatever you can arrange on a plate for me won't be enough.
Sure, there's nothing that beats flavor when eating, but ghouls, pretending to be high society, devoted to their palates? It's comical how human that would be, isn't it, Tsukiyama? Why, that little! How dare an ignoble sow like her make a mockery of my dining! Um, M-Mr.
Tsukiyama? Ow! Oh, how could I let that happen? I'm sorry! It's all right.
I just cut myself a little.
T-Tell you what, Kaneki, I know it's not much of an apology, but Miss Kamishiro's favorite hangout is near here.
Would you like to go there? Miss Rize's favorite place? Yes, I would.
All right.
With that settled, let's head there right now.
Is your finger all right? Oh, yes.
The bleeding seems to have stopped.
I'll be sure to wash this later, and-- O-Oh, no, it's okay.
Don't worry about it.
I'll wash it myself.
That was a close one.
I can't believe I let myself spook him.
Be cool Keep it smooth, why don't you? Tsukiyama Shu, you just have to be patient a little longer.
Such tender sweetness, and mellow harmony This newly discovered treat is, as regards my happiness even better than discovering a new star! Monsieur Savarin you were absolutely right Why am I even taking a shower, anyway? Mr.
Kaneki? Oh, yes? I have left some clothes here for you.
Please, be my guest.
Okay, thanks.
Miss Rize used to come here, too? I brought you a cup of coffee.
Enjoy.
Uh, excuse me, where is Mr.
Tsukiyama? What is this?! Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for waiting.
Presenting today's main dish! Today's entrée is an unusual cut of meat.
A ghoul, of all things! Ghoul? I'm not quite up for cannibalism.
It is being furnished by Mr.
MM! Oh, Mr.
MM! It's Mr.
MM! Esteemed ladies and gentlemen, the flesh of a ghoul offers a coarse flavor not worthy of devouring.
I am sure that those of you here of such discerning taste are well aware of this.
M-Mr.
Tsukiyama! W-Why? The thing that caught my attention was his scent.
For while he is a ghoul, the scent of human is also pervasive.
Oh, he's right! How aromatic! Magnificent! Ah, I can't take it! Aren't you fascinated? What sort of flavor does a ghoul who smells like a human possess?! I've been set up.
This whole thing was a trap.
An adventur into the unknown for the sense of smell and taste Now! Let us enjoy the ultimate epicurean delight! Now, here is the scrapper who will be serving today's main dish! Tell me, Madam A Oh, what is it, Mr.
PG? Which scrapper have you brought with you today? Today, it's my all-time favorite, Taro.
Pleazzure to meed you.
Sawnter, sawnter, sawnter, sawnter Gah! Squash him good! Hunh? W-Waid up! W-Waid up! Taro! Come on, run! Mamma! His owner, Madam A, also offers her encouragement! Gotta get outta here! Gotta get outta here! I-I've gotta do something! You can't geddaway! --Get him! --This is bad! I can't get away! See you, saw you! It's no use.
That had no effect at all.
What's the matter, Kaneki? Why don't you use your kagune? We have to hurry thing along, here.
I have to think of some way to slip out of here! Shood! --What? --Did his legs get all twisted up? Ladies and gentlemen, it appears the drug is starting to take effect.
Don't tell me the coffee was A-A-Awright! I-I g-godcha! Get him! Wring his neck! Rip his guts out! This is This is fun! Tschüss, Kaneki.
Huh? What's that? A-A one-eyed ghoul! One eye?! One eye? For real? Taro, snap out of it! Get up! It hurdz! It hurdz! It hurdz! One eye How rare! Mr.
MM? Are you all right? What a delicacy! Get up! Taro! Mamma! It's hopeless That's it! What a good walker! What a good walker! What a good walker! Mamma is so excited! That hurdz! Ladies and gentlemen, I'm terribly sorry for all the commotion.
I had no way of knowing that he was a so-called one-eyed ghoul.
However, I have no intention of ruining the dinner we all came for.
How does this sound to everyone? It hurdz! How about we enjoy Madam A's pet boy, the scrapper? Taro! Taro! It hurdz Taro you good-for-nothing! Embarrass me, will you?! I hope you get fed on quickly, damn you! Mamma Did you enjoy that, Kaneki? I just meant for this to be a little joke.
I may have been a bit hard on you.
Can we forget about this? Such a rare treasure I'm not going to let anyone else eat him.
Though the city sleeps, it's buildings are always under construction Urban planning carries on Its belt lines morphing, snakes interlocking stirring up endorphins, and off you go, go, go Souls ascend up into the night sky Their procession and their faith both resembling an aberrant riddle Our as-yet-empty tomorrows are an all but black shade of gray Without any possibilities an all but black shade of gray Ah, tonight, you're the one I want Saints Ah, I want you to signal the end Saints Saints Saints Yes! Yes, Tsukiyama! That's the face I want! Nice feeling! Even more! Release yourself even more! That's it! Fantastic! This is great, Tsukiyama! I can't say enough! Um What are you doing? Oh? Well, apparently, I'll be appearing on an upcoming cover of the comics.
Kaneki, would you care to join me? Well? Huh? Oh, no, I'll pass.
