Chrono Crusade (2003) s01e08 Episode Script

Falling Rain/The Puppet

It's a depressing sky, isn't it?
What? It's more than just depressing!
We were up all night, and they're making us
go shopping straight from the work site!
Jeez, this is the worst!
Oh, it lit up again.
I'm sorry. I said that I could
do it by myself, but
What are you talking about?
It's obvious that you couldn't
do it on your own!
But
Oh, the phone!
Are you all right, Azmaria?
Yes, absolutely
Oh, you just sit still!
Chrono, answer the phone!
Are you sure?
Can't you tell by looking? I'm driving!
Hello? Minister Remington?
Rosette is currently
Hello, this is Rosette.
Is something the matter?
No, no, it's super okay.
driving
No, no, it's super okay.
driving
Grand Central Station at 5 o'clock, right?
Isn't this dangerous?
Grand Central Station at 5 o'clock, right?
Grand Central Station at 5 o'clock, right?
Yes yes All right, see you later.
Oh, today I'm super lucky!
What's going on?
I'm going to the train station
to get Minister Remington.
What, right now?
For him to choose me personally
Does this mean he's finally realized my appeal?
More like
Now that that's been decided, I'd better hurry!
More like
Now that that's been decided, I'd better hurry!
That's impossible with all of these packages!
Which is why we're going back
to the convent first!
Although if I left you here, it would be just right.
Wait a second!
Puppets
Was that all right?
This has become bothersome
What in the world is he doing?
Being on time is part of the mission too.
Mama
Where's my snack?
Just be patient for a little longer.
Grandma is baking a cake for us at home.
But I've already been patient.
He's not going to come.
You were supposed to receive this, right?
Who are you?
A servant for the group that you're investigating.
What happened to him?
Oh, you should praise him.
He was sniffing around,
just as you ordered him to.
Where is he?
I ate him.
There's not a scrap of him left.
Thanks for the meal.
I'm here.
Here, here
This is because you're a dangerous man.
So they're supposed to be hostages?
Now, hand over that dangerous thing.
Let's do business.
I think I'm going to bite my tongue.
Come on, let's hurry up and move the stuff!
Okay!
Are you all right, Azmaria?
I fell down.
Want me to carry it?
No! I can handle this much.
Maybe I should
I'm going to do it!
Oh, it doesn't matter who does it,
hurry up and get it moved!
How can you say that?
I I just want to help everyone
Well, that is You don't have to cry.
Then please do your best
in carrying them in, Azmaria.
Okay!
And this is all of it. Can you
handle it from here, Azmaria?
Yes, please leave it to me.
Oh, welcome back. That was fast.
A reason for me to hurry came up.
What?
What IS this?!
The wheat is soaked with water!
We can't use it that way!
Oh, shut up. You can still use half of it!
Well, this is because I fell down earlier.
You were a little carsick because
Rosette drives too fast, right?
Wait a second, Chrono,
are you saying that this is my fault?
Well, you know
What, again?! You have got to learn
to drive a car properly already.
Chrono and Azmaria won't be able
to take much more.
That's right, I heard that just recently
Rosette got distracted by a fruit cart
and almost had an accident!
What? Didn't she run into the cart?
That's not it. She tried to avoid the cart and
crashed into a bakery across the street,
and both the shop and the car
took serious damage.
We can't even ask Rosette to go shopping.
That's all you have to say to someone who
took the trouble to go shopping in the rain?!
Rosette, calm down already.
Hey, weren't you in a hurry?
That's right, I don't have the time for this.
Aren't you lucky?
Wait a minute, did she hear
anything that we just said?
She's in such a hurry.
Just where is Rosette going?
She's going to the train station
to pick up Minister Remington.
Oh, how strange.
Minister Remington went out in a car himself.
Safe! Made it in time.
All right.
It's about time for the princess to arrive.
Before that, let me ask something of all of you.
There shouldn't be anything
that you need to ask.
Are you working for Aion?
What are you planning on doing with Rosette?
Nothing, I'm just going to have
her come with me.
That person needs her.
That person?
Lord Joshua
It will do your body harm to be
exposed to too much wind.
It's all right, big sister.
It's warm.
When I do this, I remember those days.
Weren't those the days?
That was close by.
With this bad weather, the roads are
probably in bad shape.
Perhaps even Rosette has given up.
Trying to buy time uselessly?
Or perhaps you're hoping against hope?
I'd rather you call it parental affection.
Four years ago, when I brought her
to the Magdalene Order
No, since long before that, I've thought
of myself as that girl's guardian.
I have a duty to protect her.
That's why
I can't just hand her over without
offering any resistance!
Up there?
Oh, there you are, there you are,
Minister Remington!
I'm late, but I'm here to get you!
Nice to meet you, Sister Rosette.
We have also come to get you.
Lord Joshua is waiting.
Joshua?!
What's going on?! What do you mean,
Joshua is waiting?!
Hey!
Say something!
What?
Above you!
The second skylight on the east side!
Rosette
Minister Remington, what's going on?
Just now, they said something about Joshua.
For now, let's get out of here.
Oh my, what an appalling older sister.
I wonder what Lord Joshua would
say if he saw you?
Who are you?!
Please call me a puppet master, Sister Rosette.
A puppet master? You can't mean
that these people are
Yes
But it's all right. They're just unconscious.
But they're such helpless marionettes.
If I so desire You understand, don't you?
Sister, please, save me.
Oh, merciful Sister
I'm scared, Mama.
You, who are of the clergy, will not stand by
and watch these poor unfortunate lambs,
who just happened to be here,
be killed, will you?
What do you want?!
It's all up to your soul.
If you obey without question,
then their lives will be saved.
Don't listen, Rosette!
The train will be here soon.
If you get on board, you can go
to where Lord Joshua is.
It's just Aion's trap!
Aion!
That's not it. This is what Lord Joshua desires.
He says he really wants to see his older sister.
Hurry up and go to see him.
Lord Joshua is waiting.
He looks like he's in a lot of pain.
He's suffering so much he can't even eat.
Joshua
Tell me! Where's Joshua? Where is he?!
Is it true that he's suffering?!
Please, let me see Joshua!
Calm down, Rosette
Minister Remington!
Sister Rosette, he wishes for you alone.
We will have the Minister wait here.
Please come with us, Sister.
You're the only one who can save
Lord Joshua from his suffering.
Rosette!
I'm sorry, Minister Remington.
What happened this time?
I broke the dish.
That's Sister Kate's teacup!
But I can't believe the handle just fell off.
Hello, this is the Magdalene Order.
What? Shots fired? At Grand Central Station?
I understand.
As you get new information,
please contact me again.
You two
What about Grand Central Station?
Sister Rosette, you are truly a wise person.
I'm certain that Lord Joshua
will be delighted as well.
What's the matter?
The train will be leaving soon.
Don't go, Rosette!
Minister Remington
Joshua is
Minister Remington!
What a troublesome person.
After all that's happened,
he is still trying to interfere.
Out of respect for his older sister,
I tried showing mercy.
I have no choice. I'll have you die here!
Remington!
Minister Remington!
Rosette!
Minister Remington!
Minister Remington, I'm sorry! I
We can talk later!
I won't let you.
I've grown tired of you.
And all I was trying to do was take you to
where your beloved younger brother is.
Why do you defy me, Sister Rosette?
I was a fool to fall for the honeyed words
of someone as cowardly as you!
Oh, so you don't want to see Lord Joshua?
Of course I want to see him!
Rosette!
I want to see him.
I want to fly to him immediately.
If he's coughing, I want to pat his back.
If he's in pain, then I want to take his place!
Of course you do. You are the only one
who can save Lord Joshua.
And that's why I won't accept your help!
That's right, I'm the only one who can save him.
I will rescue Joshua from you guys,
no matter what!
Then you leave me no choice.
In that case, I will make you come with me,
even by force!
Rosette, aim for their necks!
With this many people as your opponents,
what can a little girl like you do?
Rosette, are you all right?
Yes!
I won't let you get away!
Rosette!
Minister Remington!
Rosette!
This is
A crucifix barrier!
Rosette!
Chrono
Are you all right?
I put down too many crucifixes.
Azmaria
Rosette!
Chrono, you bastard!
You haven't changed, Rizel.
Your methods are disgusting.
Shut up. Your unsightly form
is fitting for a dog of God.
Why, you!
An unexpected intrusion has come up,
Sister Rosette.
I'm sorry that I could not take you.
Let us meet again some other time.
You were so reckless.
Couldn't you wait a little longer
until we showed up?
She said that Joshua was suffering.
His body is weak after all.
I'm sorry.
I'll rescue him, no matter what.
Rosette
What's this?
I think you need to see this.
These papers were in their hands once,
so they're not reliable,
but they can probably serve as clues.
We've been searching for four years,
and a few months ago, we finally spotted him.
Joshua
Azmaria, when you were little, did you ever think
of what you wanted to be when you grew up?
No, because I was too busy doing my best
to keep my relatives from hating me.
That's so heartbreaking, so brave of you.
What was your dream, Rosette?
I wanted to become strong,
so I would be able to protect the people
who were important to me.
Then it ended up coming true, didn't it?
Next episode, "Joshua"
Siblings that get along? I'm so jealous.
Joshua
