Wolf's Rain (2003) s01e08 Episode Script
Song of Sleep
How are your men's injuries? If there's anything I can do to help Our own medics are more than enough.
I can't believe we let them escape, with ten of my men getting injured in the process But they can't leave this aerial city.
Who do you think they are? They must be some of Darcia's people.
I'm not sure they are That expression that Cheza that the Flower Maiden showed to those boys.
She was smiling.
She was smiling, as if she was very happy.
Crying, smiling, it makes no difference.
Our mission is to bring back that flower with detectable life signs.
No, that's impossible She can tell? Because she's a Flower Maiden.
How? She uses her feelers.
She doesn't have any of those! You can't see 'em, but I bet they're there.
I wonder if she's on edge around us.
But why would she be? Because you're on edge around her, that's why.
Who wouldn't be? She's not a wolf, and she's not a human.
She's not a flower, either.
How are we supposed to trust something like that? All the more so because she was made by a Noble.
Are we going to take her with us? Yeah.
What for? I don't see anything wrong with it.
It'd be mean to just leave her here, and besides, I think it'd be nice to always be able to smell Lunar Flowers.
Doesn't that make her dangerous to us? If she smells up the place while we're moving, it's as good as giving away our location.
Humans can't make out smells.
But my eyes tell me that she'll be nothing but trouble.
What's she good for? Even you should know how vital Cheza is to us.
Sorry, I don't.
She'll get us to Paradise! I'm sick of hearing that word.
All of a sudden, I'm feeling really sleepy Damn it, don't fall asleep, Toboe! Too late My body's already out cold What the hell?! I don't know, either.
I just I can't stand cats Is this where we're supposed to meet up? What the hell is that? I thought she might be cold.
Look, she's a flower.
Cold's got nothing to do with it.
But I still-- What's that? Well, I figured that mountain paths might be rough on her feet.
Even though she's a flower, huh? Let's go.
Yeah.
You slept the longest.
Did you have sweet dreams? I don't remember.
You were running in your sleep.
It's no use.
Those people are on every road going down to the foot of the mountain.
We have to think of another way.
Don't wander off and foist that thing off on me, got it? I tried to wake you up, but you wouldn't.
You seemed pretty happy where you were.
Oh, shut up! I was tired, that's all! Is it just me, or does it feel like we're being watched? Yeah.
You don't think it's them, do you? They have a telltale funk, so I can spot them coming a mile away.
I heard something from the cats here.
They said there's a ghost wandering around.
A ghost? Is she following us? Yeah Is that a ghost? Run! What does this mean?! We think they must have used some sort of sharp knife.
Very well.
I want you men to split up into your squads and take the routes I gave you.
Yes sir! Human wave tactics? Only because it seems like a waste of time to wait to get a radar reading.
Commander? Have you heard of how wolves might still be alive to this very day? No, I haven't.
It's possible that those boys we saw aren't ordinary humans.
They might be wolves who stay alive by deluding humans.
Well, I'll be I always thought that there was a thin line between scientists and daydreamers, but I never would have expected that you were one of the latter.
Wow, that was rough! We're back! You two sure took a long time.
The runt here kept wandering off.
Here's some food.
We picked up some other things, too.
What do you plan to do with that? What do you mean? It's a present.
Here! You don't like it? Doesn't look like it.
What did I tell you? Now these are great.
I wouldn't be so sure.
Like 'em? Cheza? Who are you? Wolves, I see.
Who are you, old lady? Why is it suddenly-- Who are you? The Hanabito is what they called us.
This one could tell from your scent.
You are not like this one? You are a true perfect creation.
You aren't like my kind.
Perfect creation? I've been waiting for you for a long, long time.
I guess she wasn't a ghost.
I smell something.
They're coming! Looks like we shouldn't hang around.
Is it safe to go with her? If she's one of Cheza's people, we shouldn't have to worry.
I felt them with my body, those terrible events And those imperfect Hanabito could only wither away and die.
I escaped from the castle.
In the forest at the foot of the mountain, I stayed in hiding.
For a long, long time.
And before I knew it, I alone was left.
Even if you don't know anything about yourself, I do.
I know you well indeed.
This one has been asleep all this time, waiting.
The wolf seeks out the flower, and the flower seeks out the wolf.
But you mustn't go with them.
Why not? It will lead to destruction.
You must be joking! I'm not talking to you! Let's go, Cheza.
I only give off the faintest scent of a flower now.
Soon, it will fade completely.
What should this one do? You have the ability to sustain the life of a Hanabito.
Stay here, and-- Cheza, don't listen to her! Wolf, what do you hope to accomplish by taking this girl with you? To get to Paradise.
We are going to Paradise.
Be quiet! I smelled her back at the castle.
I know I've seen that lady before somewhere What do we do? Let's go.
Let's go, Cheza! You boys-- You boys, who in the world are you? Cheza! I found them! I found the boys who took Cheza! Why is it-- What's going on? What happened?! Does this crappy radar pick up everything, even flowers and trees? Search the town! She is crying.
She is going to wither.
That old lady? Kiba, is it all right if this one stays with you? Can this one stay with you? You have to stay with us.
Hige? Sure, why not? When you're on a trip, the more the merrier.
Toboe? Tsume? Fine, tag along.
If that gets us to where we're going, I'll put up with you.
It's all right.
Just having met you was enough.
This one will go.
This one is going.
With the others.
I'll pray for your safety Ever since this one came here, this one has been hearing voices.
The flowers are singing.
They're always singing.
People never notice, though This one is sorry.
Did somebody tell her about Paradise? Nope.

There are some nights when I feel like having a quiet drink alone, all right? Misgivings There are some nights when I feel like having a quiet drink alone, all right? Misgivings
