Platinum End (2021) s01e07 Episode Script

Tower of Nightmare

1
"If someone flies over with wings,
stay by them."
That's what Mr. Metropoliman
ordered me to do.
What can I say?
This is bad.
Mr. Mukaido!
Is this real?
A terrorist attack?
What's going on?
Where's Metropoliman?
Mr. Mukaido!
Mr. Mukaido!
No, don't die on me
Please don't die!
I don't wish to see anyone die again.
You're alive.
Mr. Mukaido is safe.
That's so great, Baret.
Yes. We can tell right away.
Kakehashi?
Yes.
Fortunately,
I wore an explosion-proof suit.
I thought this suit was sturdy enough.
I never thought it could be
damaged so badly.
Instead of White Arrow,
he's now using a different method to kill.
That's great.
Didn't you say you don't wish
to see anyone die again?
Yes.
Did that girl get blown to death?
The same goes for me.
I don't wish to see anyone die.
But we don't have time
to feel sentimental.
The show has just begun.
He's here.
What kind of costume is that?
It looks cool.
I'll take that.
Why
How could you kill people so easily?
That's because I have this pair
of wings and arrows.
That's not what I mean.
I'm referring to this.
Do you think it's all right to kill?
Kakehashi.
Are you an elementary school student?
We must not kill.
There's nothing more precious than life.
Are you satisfied now?
You know you must not kill,
yet you do why?
Because I must become God.
Sacrifices are inevitable.
I only want to kill a few people.
Only a few people, eh?
But no one has ever said
that the last surviving god candidate
will become God!
That's right.
I made that decision.
You used that girl
You used that girl to kill innocent
junior high school students!
Do you understand the feelings of those
who lost their families?
Do you understand the feelings of losing
someone important to you?
I do.
I
I lost someone I truly cared for.
I do understand the deep hurt very well.
I'd thoroughly experienced it.
But so what?
So
He isn't someone you can persuade.
I know, but I can't accept
Today will be the end
of the unnecessary sacrifices.
I will not kill anyone
besides the god candidates from now on.
Will this work for you?
We're in front of the sky tower.
According to the source,
the girl was at the scene
at the time of the explosion.
It will be fine.
But the two are still there.
Up next is the situation
at the top of the sky tower.
Nasse.
It's Metropoliman! Look!
It's Metropoliman who appeared
at Jinbo Stadium a few days ago.
Can you fly?
Yes. Fortunately, I'm conscious.
That's great.
But I don't want to end it
by fleeing on my wings.
I know.
Although we must prevent him from fleeing,
we should do our utmost
to prevent ourselves from being killed
and our wings and arrows being taken away.
That will only help him in becoming God.
No matter what,
we must hit him with Red Arrow.
Yes.
But
Why hasn't he fled the scene?
I understand that he wants
to kill the god candidates.
But it's two against one now.
He will not fight a losing battle.
Could he have other strategies in mind?
Or is he still working on a plan?
I can't hear what you two
are whispering about,
but now would be a good time
to say your goodbyes.
Meyza!
Please watch my back.
All right.
I just have to flee immediately
if White Arrow comes our way.
We've got to bamboozle him.
-Nasse!
-Yes?
That's Meyza with the same
special-rank as you, right?
That's right.
Nasse, Baret, please watch our back.
All right.
Take out your Red Arrow now.
Okay!
This way, he will think
that I'm the only one with White Arrow.
Nasse, the special-rank angel,
is watching my back.
And you've taken your Red Arrow out.
It's quite apparent who
he should guard against.
You take this opportunity
to shoot Red Arrow at him.
Got it.
You two have been whispering
for quite some time.
The person I want to kill is
You.
See.
You want to kill me?
How?
A one-on-one duel?
I won't take such a risk.
This alone will do.
Detonation activation. E-N-J-E-R.
I've planted another bomb somewhere.
Even if the girl was placed
at the top of the tower,
it would be meaningless
if the god candidates didn't show up.
That's why I told Misurin
to blow up the tower
if they didn't show up.
It was an effective threat
to kind people who were eager
to save strangers.
It's planted in one of the buildings
within your sight.
If it explodes
Well, those precious lives
in the building will vanish.
It's not you two who will die.
It's those innocent people who will die.
Choose one of the two.
Liar.
It sounds like a lie created on the spot!
He is lying.
Since Nasse said so,
it's really a lie then.
That angel is really good
at detecting lies.
But she can only tell it
from a person's expression.
Now, the angel is lying.
Really?
So you two are not concerned
about other people's lives?
Listen up.
As long as you two are blown to death,
I won't press the detonation button.
No matter what, you two will
cause the death of others.
Remember this well.
Well, I'll press it now.
Wait!
I get it. Stop it.
Mr. Mukaido.
But you can only kill one of us.
You planned to kill one of the
god candidates in the earlier explosion.
In that case, killing one of us is enough.
Right?
Okay.
But I will decide who will die.
I'll be taking the wings and arrows.
This is my condition.
I am Demakawa.
Metropoliman has finally shown up
after the Jinbo Stadium incident.
Is he involved in the explosion
at the sky tower?
Kakehashi. Mr. Mukaido.
Great.
Public execution isn't a bad idea.
You should die first.
That's what I think too.
I knew you'd pick
a special-rank angel first.
No. That doesn't matter.
It's because you're more problematic
if you live.
Here you go again.
It's obvious that you want White Arrow.
Thanks for overestimating me.
No.
You must not die!
I know.
As Nasse said, it might be a lie.
What if it wasn't?
I don't wish to be killed just like that.
Shoot Red Arrow at him
as he releases White Arrow.
But
My life
If this goes on,
Mr. Mukaido will surely die.
A life will be lost!
If you dare to flee,
I'll press the button at once.
If no explosion occurs,
it will prove that
you're only scaring people off.
That's right!
IF A PERSON RETURNS THE ANGEL TOOLS
BEFORE THE GOD SELECTION,
THE PERSON WILL DIE.
Kakehashi!
Interesting.
The wings and the arrows are not affected
by anything in the human realm.
But if those people also possess
the angel tools
I never knew there was such a function.
You don't know about it, Baret?
Why did you get in the way?
Does it not matter to you,
even if people die?
I want
Red Arrow
to hit you!
You keep attacking but refuse
to shoot the arrow.
Are you a fool?
Annoying. I will kill you first!
Run!
Impressive.
Why don't you flee?
You're godlike!
You know you can't become God.
How long do you think
you can hide like this?
I
Want to
Use Red Arrow
I tricked you!
Kakehashi!
What's wrong with him?
It will only lead to nothing
if this goes on.
How long are you planning to attack?
So embarrassing.
Yes. How pitiful
You're wrong!
He is so cool.
Up in the sky just now
Why didn't he flee or shoot the arrow?
If this goes on, Kakehashi
Will be killed.
What should I do?
He keeps his back to me.
There's no way to remove Kakehashi
from sight.
This is an opportunity
born of Kakehashi's desperation!
I must do
all I can
do
Behind you!
Shoot the arrow!
He escaped.
I should have aimed it at his heart.
No. No matter where I attacked,
it would've been deflected by
the bulletproof vest.
Kakehashi!
I saw it.
I saw his face.
Let's go.
Metropoliman has vanished from the sky.
The two mysterious persons
have also vanished without a trace.
Mr. Mukaido. Kakehashi.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Kakehashi. I'm relieved
I didn't manage to shoot him.
When Mr. Mukaido was attacking him,
he flinched momentarily.
But I couldn't bring myself to shoot him.
But that fighting approach
isn't worth any praise.
It's a miracle that you are still alive.
Could it be
that you acted recklessly to create
an opportunity for me to attack?
How could it be?
I just don't want to die.
That's why I wanted
to shoot Red Arrow at him.
No. That's not right.
My mind went blank.
I couldn't think at all.
It's not for me.
Battling isn't for me.
It's too late.
I've never fought before.
When I was adopted
and abused by my relatives,
I accepted it and never opposed it.
When I was being gossiped about at school,
and when I was looked down on,
I pretended not to hear it
and never fought back.
I never fought back.
If you think you're tough,
then you're wrong.
I know.
I'm not tough.
I'm too weak.
I'm afraid of being attacked.
I am a coward.
No. I didn't mean it that way.
Uh-huh.
It's because Mirai is very kind.
People compete with each other
to reach their goals.
That's the road to happiness.
I know about this, of course.
But what we are doing now
is way far from it.
Because gaining something by hurting
or sacrificing others will not
make us happy.
I don't understand why people
can feel happy doing it!
Metropoliman is the one who sacrifices
others to realize his ambition.
We were only there to stop him.
Killing him isn't considered a sacrifice.
You may be right.
But I no longer know what I am doing
and what it is for.
To attain happiness.
Right?
So that everyone will gain happiness.
From getting the wings and the arrows
from Nasse to getting rid of hell
and being together with Saki,
I have been flying high.
I thought I could live
this happy life forever.
But in reality
What we are doing
murder.
Why can't we just live an ordinary life?
I've had enough of this kind of life.
I understand your feelings.
But there is something we must do now.
Tell me.
When you saw Metropoliman
Mr. Mukaido.
Kakehashi seems to be in a low mood.
And today, I was also
Very worried about Mirai's safety.
Witnessing a fight that looked like
someone walking on thin ice
isn't good for the heart.
Yeah
I think you're right.
Let's talk about it tomorrow.
But at least you saw his face this time.
Kakehashi feels happy being with me?
It will be all right then.
But it was my first time
treating a patient
whose head was grazed by a bullet.
I was shot at close range.
But it was deflected
by my bulletproof vest.
You've been through a lot.
Sorry for coming after
business hours, doctor.
Don't worry. It's fine.
I told them I'd planted another
bomb somewhere
and would not kill anyone
besides the god candidates.
Those were all lies.
Darn. What's their problem
Did you see the explosion
at the sky tower yesterday?
It's terrible.
So scary.
There he goes again.
Look. The stalker.
I'll teach him a lesson for you.
No need.
Why?
Are you dating Kakehashi?
There's a rumor going around in the class.
Someone saw both of you together.
I'm not dating him.
I guess so too.
How could it be Mirai Kakehashi, right?
And I
Can't fall in love with Kakehashi.
