Darling in the Franxx (2018) s01e07 Episode Script

1
With the kissing with 26th Plantation
successfully complete,
we, the 13th Unit,
were awarded a special vacation.
-The sea!
-The sea!
-Last one in is a rotten egg!
-Oh, grow up.
One little vacation, and they go crazy.
Don't be too hard on them. We've never
been to a sea that we could swim in.
I didn't even realize there were
still places like this on the surface.
Since being in this unit, I've had
my fair share of worries and anxieties.
But out here, far from my daily troubles,
I can't help but feel a bit giddy.
Hey! Don't go too far!
Miss Nana said
she'll pick us up tomorrow morning.
You think this is part of our training?
Who knows?
That said, there don't appear
to be any Klaxosaurs about.
We're at the beach.
Might as well enjoy it.
Right.
Darling, let's go.
-Zero Two, don't drag me!
-It's good to see Hiro back on his feet.
To think we wasted so much worry on him.
But the rumors about Zero Two are debunked
and Hiro has officially become a Parasite.
It's good news all around.
After the battle,
the two were made partners.
I still have my doubts about Zero Two, but
seeing Hiro now, I realize he needed her.
Yes. It all turned out well.
Who would have thought that
the lost cause of an abnormal specimen
would exhibit such ability?
If only he had the courtesy
to do so from the start.
At least that girl's inane suitor-hunting
has finally come to an end.
That is a cause enough for joy.
Nonetheless, careful observation
is still required.
We designate the 13th City as our
highest priority special-monitored city.
Code 016 bears the responsibility of
bringing the girl to the Grand Crevasse.
At long last.
A special-monitored city
It must be because Zero Two has become
affiliated with the 13th Plantation.
One of APE's personal guards is now
officially a single Plantation's Parasite.
There's no precedent,
but their decision makes sense.
Oh, Zero Two. I see you are well.
And all thanks to my darling's efforts.
You didn't have to come all this way.
Oh, come on.
Hiro, this is Dr. FRANXX.
He's the father of the FRANXX.
The father
And this is
Skip the introductions.
This is hardly going to be
the only time we meet.
I've never met a human
who survived intact.
So this is what you're like.
I must say, you lot intrigue me.
Doctor, as of today,
Strelizia and Code 002
have shifted affiliation to the 13th Unit.
Those weaklings have already informed me.
As such, we now officially assign
Code 016 as Code 002's partner.
Yes, sir!
Darling! I'm so glad!
You're crushing me, Zero Two!
Hey, Doctor.
It will be me and my darling
from here on out.
A foreign element is necessary
to help her adapt to the environment.
Hence this special exception.
What's more
Sending the children
to swim in the sea alone?
The Doctor's ideas
never fail to surprise me.
Here I go!
Bring it!
All right. Here!
I love the beach.
Yes.
Maybe it's just me,
but I swear they look 50 percent cuter.
Indeed, this is quite a sight.
I didn't know you were the type
for this sort of talk, Goro.
I had you marked as one
of the goody two-digits.
I guess we do have common ground.
Come on. I'm a guy too!
You can't expect me to ignore
this glorious
Are you okay?
Sorry. I was looking up.
-Your string is undone.
-Oh, my, fix it for me!
-We love the beach!
-We love the beach!
Hey, how far are we going?
Get a load of those two.
The sea sure feels nice.
And it really is salty.
We got to visit a real sea, darling.
Darling?
Oh, sorry, it's just that
your swimsuit looks
-Funny?
-No, actually You look really good.
I'm just kind of embarrassed.
You, who saw me naked before?
That wasn't on purpose!
Darling, you're the one
who brought me here.
I've never been to a sea
which I could swim in before.
You're my wings, aren't you, darling?
If I'm with you, I can go anywhere.
Hey, darling. We'll be together forever
from now on, right?
Forever
Code 016.
I must warn you of one thing.
Yes, sir!
Don't let your emotions be devoured.
That is, if you wish
to remain her partner forever.
You'll find yourself suffering eventually.
Darling, there's no coming back
from where you've gone with me.
You do have an exciting taste.
What
Were you expecting a kiss?
Now a kiss, that means,
"you belong to me."
So you should only kiss
someone you love, darling.
Love? Kiss?
Or could it be that you've done it
with someone other than me?
What? Well
What?
Darling?
Ichigo?
Are you longing for what you see?
What?
For the sea, I mean.
You aren't going to swim?
I thought you were good at it.
Right, swimming.
Well Yes, I guess I am.
I have this for company.
Don't mind me. Go ahead.
Okay.
Thanks, Ikuno.
You came all the way here to read?
Deliberately romping around
is not my style.
I won't deny that.
How nice for him.
Not long ago, he looked like
he was wishing for death.
Now he's back among them already,
like nothing happened.
Don't expect me to agree with you.
I'm not like you.
A simple joke. Just thinking aloud.
Are you done?
You have nothing else to say?
Actually, I happened
to make an interesting discovery.
What's the big idea?
Well, I didn't mean to interrupt you two,
but these guys insisted.
What?
What's a kiss?
What?
You were listening?
Kiss.
I've never heard the word before,
but it sounds lovely.
Where do you think you're going, Hiro?
Are you hiding something from us?
What were you two up to?
Nothing!
Right?
Hiro.
I also wish to know.
What is a kiss?
You too, Goro?
I'm not clear on it myself.
It's when two people's mouths
touch and stick together.
Mouths?
You can use your mouth
for something other than eating?
What, don't you breathe?
So what is it like when you kiss?
It was soft and warm.
And it made my heart race.
But we weren't doing it just now!
I'm curious now.
Now I'm dying to know more!
And you've gone and beat us
to doing it again!
Let me do it too!
What?
Wait! You can only do it
with the person you love!
Oh, the person you love?
What are you doing?
Ichigo, do you know what a kiss is?
What?
The mouth touching thing.
Not a clue!
Hey!
Over here!
Hey, are you sure?
Yes. I saw it right at the end
of this trail.
This is exciting. Like an adventure!
It's rather dark and creepy though.
You don't have to come
if you don't want to.
Hey! Don't give Kokoro that attitude!
At any rate, I cannot ensure your safety
beyond here.
You think there's anything
that goes beyond being partners?
What?
It's just, something about you two
makes me wonder.
With the kiss
and telling someone you love them.
What might it all mean?
I don't know any better than you do.
It makes your heart race
See, I enjoy being with Ichigo,
but sometimes it hurts.
Maybe I'm just not like you and Zero Two.
-Ichigo?
-What?
What's wrong? You're all flushed.
Am I?
It's coming into view.
What is this place?
It's almost like a tiny city.
A city? What, here?
It's a far cry from the city
the Adults live in!
Do you think anyone lived here?
Who can say?
I've never heard of people
living outside Plantations.
Hello! Anyone home?
Not quite what I was hoping for.
And what exactly were you hoping for?
I mean, come on!
It's hardly that different
from the dormitories where we live in!
That's true.
It's almost as if our environment
was modeled after this.
But why?
I don't know.
Where's Kokoro?
RECEPTION AND PRESCRIPTIONS
YOUR FIRST PREGNANCY
A baby?
Kokoro!
Please don't go off on your own.
I warned you that
I cannot ensure your safety.
I'm sorry.
THE PASSION OF A KISS
A kiss. Mouth to mouth.
You know, I've done it with my darling.
Zero Two!
You've done what with him?
A kiss.
I guess you guys are still too young.
I'll have you know, I've done it too.
With who?
A kiss is something you do
with your special someone.
Was this person special to you?
Well
Ichigo?
I'm so tired.
We have walked quite a long way.
I just know I'll be sore tomorrow.
So did we ever decide what this place was?
Well, there's no doubt
it was some sort of living space.
Meaning there were people
who once called this home?
They abandoned it.
What?
Humans used to live on the surface.
Then they abandoned it.
You'll find places like this
all over the world.
Nice! They're already done!
Oh, boy! Meat!
Great, I'm starving.
Who set this up anyway? And when?
Wow!
Be careful.
-Are you okay?
-I'm fine.
You too, Zero Two.
It's toasting good!
Oh, I want to try too!
Say, darling.
Mind if I go for another swim?
What, in the dark?
Yes.
I'm so done. My belly is about to burst.
Oh, Miku. Don't be so unladylike
in front of everyone.
I don't care. Not after all the walking
that I did today.
Would you look at them?
Staring so enviously.
We all walked just as much as you!
I'm so jealous!
Too bad!
Why did humans abandon the surface?
Oh, is this about what Zero Two said?
Well, I'm sure there was a reason
they couldn't live there anymore.
But there's so much space,
and it's so beautiful.
I'm shocked that
this world is even out here.
All that goes for Mistilteinn too.
Plus, there are Klaxosaurs out here,
remember?
If humans had not started
mining magma fuel,
maybe the Klaxosaurs
never would have appeared.
Are you doubting Papa and the Adults?
To protect humanity from the Klaxosaurs,
they chose to move everyone
into the Plantations we know.
Do you not find that brilliant?
Man, Papa is just the greatest!
Just look!
The Adults went from
living in places like this,
to living in those
magnificent sparkling cities!
No kidding.
And we're the ones defending them.
We're a big help to the Adults, you see?
As long as we keep defeating Klaxosaurs,
Papa and everyone else will keep
giving us food and attention.
Then someday, we'll become Adults too
Yes!
Right? You're with me, right, Hiro?
What? Oh, yes.
Come on, loosen up!
We're teammates, aren't we?
Teammates?
What, was that weird to say?
Whatever Zorome is talking about,
you two are our newest members.
You should do your part, and Naomi's too.
I find it very reassuring
to have you two around.
Zero Two has had our back
quite a lot and all.
There you have it.
Hiro, I'd like to formally welcome you
and Zero Two
as official members of the 13th Unit.
As the leader,
I intend to work you to the bone.
I hope you're ready.
Thanks, everyone. I'll do my best.
Great!
So then
Hey, look! There's a crab!
Wow, where? Can we eat it?
You're still not done eating?
Oh, another one!
Wait up!
Oh, sorry. Did I wake you?
I couldn't fall asleep.
Me neither.
It felt like a waste to sleep.
Look, Hiro. There are so many stars!
You're right.
Oh, there's Orion!
In the past, they considered Orion
the first of the winter constellations.
Really?
You used to teach me about the stars
when we were little too.
Did I?
Yes, you did.
I may be stupid, but I remember
everything you taught me.
Then what about that star?
The Ichigo star?
What?
It's 15 Orionis. Ichigo, just like you.
I read that it's almost too dim to see
with the naked eye.
That book wasn't kidding.
Too bad, since we promised to see it
together once we left the facility.
So you do remember!
That hurt!
We'll have other chances to find the star.
We'll be battling together
from now on after all.
Yes.
I know I acted all high and mighty,
saying, "I hope you're prepared."
But the rest of us have
to work our hardest too.
So hey,
I'm going to do my best as the leader.
So
I hope you'll also be looking at me,
not just Zero Two.
You know,
I think the kiss we shared
during the mock battle was special.
So I want to stay with you--
Look, Ichigo! Shooting stars!
The stars drew long tails
as they dashed across the sky.
As gravity drew them in,
their glow seemed to reflect our own.
Warm lights, they seemed,
and full of hope.
They say if you wish upon a shooting star,
it will come true.
What would you wish for, Ichigo?
I just tried to tell you.
What?
Hiro, you big dummy!
Hey, what gives?
As the stars rained down above us,
I prayed our glow would never go out.
