Fate/Zero (2011) s01e06 Episode Script
Night of Schemes
1 See? See? It goes really fast! Y-You're a surprisingly good driver.
I know, right?! You may not believe it, but I practice all the time.
Of all the toys Kiritsugu has brought me, this is my favorite! TOYS? At the castle, I could only drive around the courtyard, so this is great! Shouldn't we have hired a professional driver? No, that would be boring! I mean, dangerous! What if the enemy attacks us? That's true.
Stop! Irisviel Get out of the car and stay close to me.
This presence That's a Servant.
Kurikaesu sekai nando te wo nobashitara In this endlessly repeating world, how many times must I reach out Hakanai namida wa kuroi kokoro tokasuno? so that my hopeless tears thaw my black heart? Mebae dashita omoi ga mune ni hibiita nara If these freshly-sprouted feelings are echoed in your own heart, Kimi no tonari de zutto kawarazu mamoru darou I will forever be by your side, protecting you.

Hikari wo kazashite tamerai wo keshita Shielding my eyes from the light, I did away with all my hesitation.
Ageta katta no wa mirai de What I wanted to give you was the future.
Naiteru yoru daita mama nageki wo sakende As I shouted in grief, holding the teary night close.
Fumi ireta ashi wo tooku no risou ga Sotto iyashite yuku Far-off hopes soothe my feet that are weary from walking.
Tashika na kizuna wo tsuyoku nigiri Hold tight to this bond we can count on, Susumou doko made mo and let's keep going as far as we can, Kegare kitta kiseki wo se ni with this tainted miracle on my back.
I've come for you, my holy virgin.
You know him? I've never laid eyes on him.
Oh, âQ! You say you have forgotten this face? Forgotten? I've never met you in my life.
Perhaps you mistake me for another? It's me! Gilles de Rais! My one prayer has been for your resurrection, and I've spent my life waiting for a miracle to reunite us! To that end, I've come all this way, to the end of time! Jeanne! Jeanne? I know not your name, nor have I any idea who this Jeanne might be.
No You can't have forgotten Not your former identity! As you've given me your name, in accordance with the chivalric code, I must give you my own.
My name is Arturia.
Heir to Uther Pendragon, and King of Britain.
I enter this battle in the Saber class.
How tragic! How sad She's lost her memory and gone mad! Curse him Curse him! Such cruel tortures God inflicts upon my beautiful maiden! Enough! You embarrass yourself! Awaken Call yourself Saber no longer.
The Holy Grail War has ended.
The Grail has chosen me, Gilles, with no fighting at all! For you see, my only wish, the resurrection of Jeanne d'Arc, has been granted! If you further mock all the other heroes' prayers, the next strike will be real.
Now rise! Has your heart been sealed so tightly, Jeanne? Very well, then.
If drastic measures are called for, I will have to prepare.
I swear to you, Jeanne I will free your soul from God's curse.
It's difficult to deal with one who ignores what you are saying.
Next time, I shall strike before he can speak.
His type infuriates me.
However, this may have been fortunate for me.
I sensed that he was too dangerous to face without the use of my left hand.
Following Saber's Master has yielded unexpected fruit.
We found Caster, as well.
Of course, we must follow him.
Ah No, no.
Here is what you do with the thumb.
Nice Perfect.
Welcome back, big guy.
Hey! Accursed God! He keeps an iron grip on Jeanne's soul, refusing to let go! By Jeanne, you mean your girl in the crystal ball? We must prove it to her! That God's power is gone That my love is wasted! That no foul deed, no horrible crime, is worthy of God's punishment! Yeah, I get it.
You're even cooler! Therefore! We require greater depravities, greater blasphemies.
We must erect a veritable Tower of Babel of human sacrifices! Uh, so basically From now on, it's quantity over quality? Indeed Exactly so! Impressive, Ryunosuke.
Our first step will be sacrificing the eleven in their cells right away.
And then we'll go acquire some more children.
Kind of a waste We interrupt this program to bring you this breaking news.
Unexplained Explosion Unexplained Explosion An unexplained explosion has occurred Unexplained Explosion in the Fuyuki coastal district's warehouse area.
Unexplained Explosion We go live to the scene Why weren't you able to finish Saber tonight? Not just once but twice.
You made me waste a Command Seal, yet you still couldn't finish the job.
Was your fight with Saber that much fun? That had nothing to do with it I swear on my honor as a knight, I will bring you Saber's head.
You don't need to swear it to me again! Of course you will! You made a pact with me for the Grail! And now, you swear to defeat Saber? What about this do you not understand?! Aren't you the one who's mistaken, Lord El-Melloi? Sola-Ui Lancer did well.
You were the one who made the mistake.
Saber is a powerful Servant I couldn't allow a chance to defeat her pass me by.
You inflicted a wound on her that cannot heal.
By letting her go, you can defeat her at your leisure.
If you're that concerned about her, why didn't you go after her Master? You merely stayed hidden and watched.
Pathetic.
Kayneth, it isn't that you don't understand your advantage over the other Masters, right? You made a special alteration to the usual Master-Servant contract.
You get the Command Seals, and I act as additional Master and supply mana.
You weren't the Evocation Division's brightest star for nothing.
But we must take care at the start.
Must we, now? So you'll hide, while you make Lancer take all the risks That's enough.
Any more will be an insult to my Master.
As a knight, I cannot allow it.
No, I didn't mean it like that I'm sorry.
I've overstepped my bounds.
What? What's going on? Understood.
A fire on the lower levels.
It's arson, of course.
Arson? Tonight, of all nights? They wish to empty the place.
Then it's an attack? Saber's Master will want to lift the Spear's curse as soon as possible.
Lancer, go downstairs and defeat her.
Don't just drive her off this time.
Understood.
Let's have our guest enjoy the magical workshop of Kayneth El-Melloi.
A perfect workshop, requiring an entire floor.
Twenty-four layered barriers.
Three mana generators.
Dozens of ghosts and evil spirits, roaming as guard dogs.
Thousands of traps.
Parts of hallways that open onto other worlds.
We shall both be able to avail ourselves of all our magical techniques.
I will make you retract your statement that I'm pathetic shortly.
I look forward to that.
Lord Archibald! Lord Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald! Are you present? Yes.
That's me.
Don't worry.
Both Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald and his wife, Sola-Ui, have evacuated.
I see.
Yes, that's fine.
Everyone has evacuated.
Excellent.
Everything is ready on my end.
And you? All green.
Just give the word.
Maiya.
Target never even moved.
He didn't leave the hotel.
A free-fall from 150 meters No magical barrier could have saved him from that.
Maiya, withdraw.
To blow up the entire building I can't believe a mage would do that.
Rather, I suppose you are a master at outsmarting mages.
Kirei Kotomine I don't believe we've met.
Or do you have a reason that you'd know me already? In that case, I can guess who you are.
Don't make me do all the talking, woman.
One word will suffice.
Where is the man who should have been here instead of you? Not bad.
You seem to have training.
She didn't throw this.
Very well Just the knowledge that someone was here to save her means that tonight was not a total waste.
Master Kirei.
I thought I told you not to expose yourself.
My apologies, but there is something you should hear.
We located Caster.
After having Assassin perform a detailed investigation, we learned that Caster and his Master have kidnapped children from their beds, from Miyama and the next town over.
By dawn, they had fifteen.
I would imagine that they are the serial killer that everyone is worked up over.
They use magic without the slightest hesitation, doing nothing to hide their tracks.
It is quite possible that they are not even thinking of the Holy Grail War.
A mad Servant, out of control, and a Master who cannot control him.
Why is someone like that participating in the Grail War? We cannot ignore them, Tokiomi.
Their actions are in clear violation of the rules.
Of course.
As one responsible for guarding the secrets of magic, I cannot allow it.
We shall have to eliminate Caster and his Master.
The problem is that defeating a Servant requires a Servant.
And we can't send my Assassin.
Minor rule changes fall under my purview.
We'll have all the Masters work to defeat Caster.
Archer? There are fewer bottles than in Tokiomi's room, but of higher quality.
Some apprentice he has.
What do you want? Apparently, there were those, other than myself, with time on their hands.
Time on their hands? Otherwise, a Master under Church protection would hardly need wander about.
What are you talking about? Are you dissatisfied with your contract, Gilgamesh? Tokiomi invited me to this world, and he maintains my form here.
And his greeting was worthy of my station.
I had to respond to that.
But I never thought he'd be so boring a person You are unhappy with him as your master? To reach the Vortex of the Root? What a tedious plan.
The desire for the Root is unique to mages.
It's not for outsiders to comment upon.
In a sense, the path to the Root is the path to an escape from this world.
For us who are interested only in the world itself, it may well be a tedious plan.
Is that so True, I am full of love for this universe that is my playground.
I have no interest in realms that lie outside my dominion.
This Root of yours does not concern me in the least.
Perhaps, but the Grail is not a device specifically designed to seek the Root.
When we say that it is omnipotent, we mean that it has limitless potential to alter even the material world.
So you're saying that the other Masters have motives other than Tokiomi's for wanting the Grail? Tokiomi is an archetypal mage, and at the same time, ultra right-wing.
What the others seek is success here in the material world.
Prestige.
Desires.
Power.
That suits me fine.
I love all of those things.
You are a king who rules over the vulgar, Gilgamesh.
Then what of you, Kirei? What do you want from the Grail? Me? I have no real desire for it.
I doubt that.
Doesn't the Grail call only those who are worthy of it? So they say.
But I do not understand.
I have no ideal or other desire, so why choose me for this battle? No ideal or other desire Then why not wish for joy? Ridiculous.
Joy? You'd ask me to long for something that blasphemous and sinful? Blasphemous? Sinful? That's going a little far.
Why draw a connection between joy and sin? I True, joy gained by evil means could be a sin.
But joy may be attained through good deeds, as well.
What kind of philosophy calls joy itself a sin? Joy is another quality I lack.
I seek it, but never find it.
Kirei Kotomine I find myself taking an interest in you.
What do you mean? Just what as I said.
Be seated.
Joy, you see, might be thought of as a form of the soul.
The question isn't whether it exists, but whether you know it.
Kirei, you have yet to see what form your soul has taken.
That's what it means when you claim that you lack joy.
A mere Servant means to lecture me? Don't get cocky, mongrel.
These are words of a king who has tasted all the pleasures and luxuries the world has to offer.
Hold your tongue and mark my words.
Kirei, you ought to learn what pleasure is.
Look first to the outside.
I know Why not begin by joining me in my entertainment? I have no time to waste on trivialities.
Don't be like that.
You can do it between the jobs Tokiomi assigns you.
To begin with, Kirei, your task is to watch the five other Masters, yes? What Of it? You should learn not only their plans and strategies, but their motivations, as well.
Then tell them to me.
That would be possible if I asked the Assassins.
But, Archer, what does it matter to you? I told you.
I enjoy watching humans.
One or two are sure to be interesting.
Compared to Tokiomi, at least.
Very well, Archer.
I accept.
But it will take some time.
That's fine.
I shall be patient.
And avail myself of these drinks My reason for seeking the Grail? I said far too much.
It certainly isn't joy.
However, if I can learn about that man, will I be able to also learn what it is I seek? Kiritsugu Emiya Episode 6: A Night of Schemes Shizuka ni utsuri yuku tooi kioku no naka In my distant, shifting memories, Omoide ni yorisoi nagara kimi wo omoeru nara All I wish is to love you as I snuggle your memory.
Itsumo minareteru madobe ni utsutta Your eyes, which I see reflected in the window so often, Sono hitomi wa ashita wo muite ita were looking out towards the future.
Aa sakaraenu sadame to shittemo Kowaku nai Even if I learn that my fate cannot be changed, I will not be afraid.
Kokoro kara shinji te iru I believe in you from the bottom of my heart.
Shizuka ni utsuri yuku tooi kioku no naka In my distant, shifting memories, Kimi to sugoshita akashi wa tashika ni koko ni aru The proof that we spent time together does exist here.
Afure dasu kimochi wo oshiete kureta kara Because you told me of your feelings that could not be contained, Kono sekai ga nakunatte mo watashi wa soko ni iru even if this world vanishes, I will be with you.
I'll explain the temporary change in the rules.
They'll kill Kiritsugu Emiya We can escape! If we go now, we can still It will be my lance that takes Saber's life! I'm not interested in fighting you for the Grail! Don't get any ideas, bitch!
I know, right?! You may not believe it, but I practice all the time.
Of all the toys Kiritsugu has brought me, this is my favorite! TOYS? At the castle, I could only drive around the courtyard, so this is great! Shouldn't we have hired a professional driver? No, that would be boring! I mean, dangerous! What if the enemy attacks us? That's true.
