Chrono Crusade (2003) s01e07 Episode Script

The Devil

Devil
All right, then.
Good morning, great Babylon.
It's turned out to be a good era.
Don't you agree?
Sister Kate!
The central executives of the Magdalene Order
have called an emergency meeting.
Please hurry.
I'll take care of things here.
All right, please do.
Minister, is the situation really that
There are still too many uncertain elements.
This same phenomenon is happening
at every church,
and a black sun and red moon
have been observed.
There are a great many things which worry me.
A red moon!
I've seen the red moon.
It's just like before. Aion has come.
What the heck?
The first angel sounded his trumpet,
and there came hail and fire mixed with blood,
and it was hurled down upon the Earth.
A third of the Earth was burned up,
a third of the trees were burned up,
and all the green grass was burned up.
Aion is incredible, isn't he?
I wanted to see the red hail too.
If it would please you, would you like
to go to Manhattan?
Lord Aion did say that it would be
enjoyable if you came too.
I hate cities. The noise of the
crowds is too strong.
Forgive me. I said too much.
It's all right.
By the way, there are a lot of carrots here.
An unbalanced diet is bad for your health.
Lord Joshua?
It's the scent of tainted meat.
The sun turned black like sackcloth
made of goat hair,
the whole moon turned blood red,
and the stars in the sky fell to earth,
as late figs drop from a fig tree
when shaken by a strong wind.
The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up.
As you are well aware, Manhattan,
and especially the area known as Central Park,
is an extremely important place
when it comes to spiritual matters.
The predecessors of the Magdalene Order
learned that this place
was connected to the limbo of Pandemonium,
and worked hard to put up a seal
to act as a protective boundary.
We believe that the current outbreak
of the appearance of the dead
is being caused by the seal being broken,
and we've deduced that the red hail from this
morning was intended to break that seal.
Sister Kate, we want you to quickly go
and restore the Seal of the Seven Wings.
Understood.
Please wait!
I'm going too.
You don't know how frightening Aion is.
You know he's after the Apostles!
My younger brother is an Apostle too,
so Aion kidnapped him.
At the least, I want to protect you.
I'm tired of being protected all of the time!
I'm going to fight too!
Get in.
The blockade of the park using
spiritual power is complete.
All that's left is to seal the pit of miasma.
We're going to restore the
Seal of the Seven Wings.
Everyone, go to your assigned coordinates,
and contact me as you finish your preparations.
Rosette still isn't here.
Oh, that girl.
Late at a time like this?
Everyone else, do your duty.
Yes, Sir!
Sorry, Minister Remington!
Rosette!
If you get covered in that, you'll die!
It's just as Chrono says.
The miasma is evil that has accumulated in
Pandemonium and that has gained form.
It has already claimed many victims.
Minister, what do you mean by evil?
People's hearts.
Hearts?
People's malice, greed.
The stagnation of instinct becomes the very
stuff on which the world of devils subsists.
That feels disgusting.
So something like that is under Manhattan?
Even though we say below, it doesn't
literally mean it's inside the ground.
You guys hurry to your positions too, please.
Understood.
Here you go.
You use these just like you use
the Principatus class, okay?
Okay.
Chrono, Azmaria! Hurry up and
get that barrier up!
Right!
Man, just one after another.
I'm finished!
All right, just one more!
Right!
Here.
Thanks.
Here.
Thanks.
Let's hurry!
Right!
Let's hurry!
Right!
Rosette!
Chrono!
Rosette!
Chrono!
Chrono!
Laden!
Laden!
Take form, drops from the jewels!
Rain down, like the thunderstorm
that tears the ground apart!
The clear February!
It looks like you're in the middle of
another close fight, as always.
Satella, why are you here?
I got a request from the
New York Police Department.
Maybe you guys aren't actually trusted after all.
Shut up, the NYPD has too little integrity!
Whatever, hurry up and put up the barrier.
That kind of thing is outside my
area of expertise after all.
I know that!
Chrono, Azmaria, let's get to work!
He's here!
What?
He's arrived.
This feeling
A devil!
Me?
I am the Alpha and the Omega.
The beginning and the end.
The start and the finish.
Aion!
Aion!
I thought that you would be able
to tell that I was coming.
Laden!
Reveal your form, ritters juwel!
Don't, Satella! He isn't a normal
Devil, all of whom must be destroyed!
What an admirable thing you just did, Chrono.
Chrono!
What happened to the Chrono that was trying
to change Pandemonium with me?
Come back with me. Let's work together again.
The world of the humans isn't so bad, is it?
The reason we can live is because of the
never-ending greed of this world, this nation.
Try and devote yourself to it too.
Don't put me in the same boat as you.
I see.
Chrono!
Hey there, Rosette Christopher.
You've certainly grown into a lovely young lady.
Where's Joshua?!
Are you going to shoot if I don't answer?
Who's the one that knows
Joshua's whereabouts?
Rosette
You're so reliable, Mary of Magdalene.
But I have come to get someone.
Come on out, young Apostle girl.
All of the disasters that have occurred today
are for your welcoming party.
Group three, barrier preparations are complete.
Group five, preparations are complete.
Group six, preparations are complete.
Understood. All groups, stand by
and maintain your positions.
Minister, Rosette still isn't
Oh, what in the world is that girl doing?
Don't look away, you two!
Rosette
It couldn't be!
Rosette, you're mistaken.
I saved Joshua.
You saved him?
Rosette, don't listen!
The one who desires to kill all devils,
and the young Apostle girl
Listen.
All of this is His fault!
The many tragedies that have happened to you,
all of them were traps set up
by the one you call God.
Rosette Christopher, have you ever
heard his voice, even once?
Rosette, you mustn't listen!
Chrono!
Stop it!
I need clues to Joshua, to my
younger brother's whereabouts!
But there's no way a devil would help you!
Please!
Please, Satella!
Isn't this fun? Even at a time as painful as this,
there is not even a word from the one
you worship to save you!
This is it, this is the reality of the world.
He sees nothing. He saves no one!
You understand, don't you, young Apostle girl?
While you were presented with
the blessing of light,
what you carry with you every day is despair.
Such hypocrisy as well as deception.
He is a minor villain that uses
both violence and kind words,
and who has grown fat on His own conceit.
Your wandering travels to find a place
where your heart could be at peace
must have been tough, young Apostle girl.
And you, the jewel witch
who spent over ten years,
without any clues, searching
for the family that you lost.
It must have been painful.
I am able to save you from His curse.
Do you understand? This is why I saved Joshua.
Don't say such selfish things!
You're pointing your gun at the wrong person.
The one you truly need to defeat is in Heaven.
And though I say that,
creatures such as yourselves cannot defeat Him.
But I can, right, Chrono?
Isn't that why we accepted
being branded as Sinners?
Chrono!
Let us work together, humans.
Apostle, for that purpose, I need your power.
Azmaria Hendric
I want to save you.
Cut it out. It's not like you can even fire.
I won't hand Azmaria over to you!
Even though you handed Joshua over?
Poor Rosette Christopher.
But I can save you.
Rosette
Give yourself over to me, Mary of Magdalene.
Rosette!
Get away from Rosette!
The miasma is
Chrono?
That's right.
Now, spread your Sinner's wings
once more, Chrono!
Aion!
Stop it, Chrono!
Please stop!
Please
Azmaria
I'll go.
So please don't hurt Rosette and the others!
Just as I expected of the Apostle of Charity,
who has received God's blessing.
No, Azmaria.
If you do that, it's no different than before!
Shall we go, Apostle?
Seal it!
Azmaria!
Did that finish him?
No, he's sure to come again.
Because that wasn't the real Aion.
So that's what happens with a shadow?
For you to go so far as sending out
the Holy Mother
Pretty sly of You.
Maybe I'll go about this in a roundabout way.
Chrono, I'll leave that Apostle to you.
The restoration of the barrier was successful.
There is just one problem.
The secret plans of the Sinners,
and their close connections
There is also the sealed third prophecy.
We must carefully fathom the Lord's intentions.
That is He's had another fit.
I'm looking forward to it, Fi.
I want to meet the other Apostles soon.
It looks like I'm not good enough.
It seems that his true older sister
I got asked out on a date by Minister Remington!
Hey, Rosette.
Recently we've been busy with
all these cases, right?
For once, let's spend a good long while
chatting about our future.
Just like this, we'll get onto a train,
and go to the ends of the world,
just the two of us Just kidding!
The weather report said it's going
to rain tomorrow.
