Lycoris Recoil (2022) s01e12 Episode Script
Nature versus nurture
1
Chisato, the magazine—
Shh. Quiet. He has sharp hearing.
Out of bullets?
What happened with DA?
I quit.
You're so dumb.
From the skies above Enkuboku, we can see a woman
who seems to be involved with this series of events.
Alpha 4 has pinned Majima down.
It's the old radio tower!
What? Get a Cleaner over there.
We will alter our broadcast from what was
originally planned to give you information
You're already relying on a Cleaner?
about the series of incidents
which happened around Enkuboku.
That's enough, everyone!
Those of you living within Tokyo, please continue
to stay indoors and do not step outside.
The higher-ups made a decision.
Lycoris will be disposed.
Mr. Yoshi!
I'm gonna go look upstairs.
Yes, for how long?
Understood.
We're on standby.
What? We're not retreating?
What are you planning to do?
LilyBell will deal with them.
It's unfortunate,
but every Lycoris will have to disappear.
Freeze.
Mr. Yoshi!
Are you all right? Were you shot?
I'm fine. It only grazed me.
So you came for me, Chisato.
I mean, after seeing a photo like that
Oh, I don't have my phone.
Is he dead?
Majima is the one who made me suffer
through all this. Did you kill him?
You did kill him for me, right?
Mr. Yoshi.
You didn't kill him?
I know I didn't meet
your expectation, but—
What is this? Do you think
you're Mother Teresa or something?
My life was saved by someone.
I can't possibly take another person's life.
It seems like you don't understand.
There are few people out there
whose purpose in life is clear.
And you have a purpose.
You can't ask for anything happier than that.
Happiness.
Are you saying killing is my happiness?
Indeed. Because you can use that
to contribute to humanity and this world.
I was pretty happy already.
If possible, I wanted to help other people.
Just like what you did to me.
I didn't wind up the springs of a dying doll
for something like that.
Doll. A doll, huh?
That sure is a witty comment, Mr. Yoshi.
That gun doesn't suit you.
Give it back to me.
Damn it, Mika. Such a thing
Live ammo is what suits you.
Wonderful.
Freeze.
The next shot will go between your brows.
Takina, lower the gun!
Yoshimatsu.
I know you're the one who collaborated
with Majima to lure Chisato out here.
Not only that. You even used Majima
for your benefit, didn't you?
You gave Majima all those weapons.
You made Walnut hack into Radiata,
then killed him.
Oh, and you're Matsushita as well.
And you destroyed Chisato's heart.
But things like that don't matter anymore.
As long as I can get that briefcase.
Kurumi got a hold of the info.
Chisato's life is inside that.
You know quite a bit, Takina.
Chisato.
The heart that will keep you alive
is in here now.
Shoot me to obtain it.
With it, you can live on for a while yet.
Now Don't hesitate.
You must regain your own worth and life.
And to do that, I will sacrifice my life.
You're insane.
Chisato!
How can you say that?
There's no way I can shoot you!
What are you doing?
If you can't do it, I will.
That's not what this is about!
Takina, calm calm down!
You can't possibly shoot me
in front of Chisato, Takina.
I will pull that heart right out!
Let go of me, Chisato!
You
Use live ammo, or your friend will die.
Hurry up and kill already.
Takina!
Stop it!
Mr. Yoshi!
That's right. That's how it should be.
Go!
Good. The bullet left the body.
This won't kill me.
I hate people who waste their lives!
I hate you, Mr. Yoshi.
This is for your sake.
Why won't you understand?
That's not true. This is for the world, isn't it?
It’s the same thing.
I have so many things
that are more dear to me than the world.
I was able to realize that
thanks to the time you gave me.
I'll give this back to you.
I really am grateful to you, Mr. Yoshi.
So please stay healthy in my place.
I'm taking Teach's bullets back.
Where's Takina?
I'm glad.
Go!
- Takina! That's enough!
- Let go of me!
The heart is getting away!
Even if I stay alive by killing Mr. Yoshi,
that wouldn't be me anymore!
No
It's impossible for me
to live in Mr. Yoshi's place.
I don't want that.
I don't want you to die.
Thanks.
But I’m someone
who should no longer be here.
Because Mr. Yoshi kept me alive,
I was able to meet you.
It's not just me.
The time for farewell comes to everyone.
But that's not today.
Isn’t that right?
Hey, are you guys all right?
Mizuki won't shut up, so hurry up!
Man, this creates wicked wind.
My mouth and eyes are super dry now.
A request?
Rescuing the Lycoris? Whose request is it?
You can ask Mika about that.
Where's Teach?
He said he had something to do.
Oh, he asked me to give you this.
Oh, magazines! This helps a lot
since I dropped my bag.
I'll hold onto it.
Oh, thanks!
This is the request.
A SHOOT-OUT IN THE TOWER?
That's right! Wh-What should we do?
Everyone knows about Lycoris!
DA is going to get rid of
all Lycoris at Enkuboku.
All Lycoris? But how?
The ones who do that kinda stuff
are LilyBell.
I guess a boy version of Lycoris?
If anyone's going to hunt Lycoris,
it would be them.
They often dropped by the café in the past
to murder Chisato.
Why did they stop coming?
The old man and Kusunoki
negotiated with their bosses.
Kusunoki's a good person.
Though we have to go help DA now.
Fuki's group is in trouble.
Get rid of all surviving Lycoris.
You can leave the corpses there.
LilyBell squad, all units, deploy.
Target, Enkuboku.
A covert unit? Who are you kidding?
Fuki.
Fuki, the Alpha Lycoris are here.
They really made a narrow escape.
Takina saved us again.
That's not what I meant! More like
You really are a useless Lycoris.
Disobeying orders
and acting on your own.
Never come back here again.
Let's move.
But our orders are to standby.
Hibana and Erika, lead the 3rd Lycoris,
and get the injured from other teams downstairs.
I don't want to ignore orders, yeah?
I want to show distinguished service
and become a 1st Lycoris!
You come with me, Sakura.
We're gonna stay here
and take back the Control Room.
That's more like it!
What's going on with Radiata's cover?
It's currently down from a malfunction.
Must be Robota.
Then there isn’t anything we can
There is.
Go stick this into Enkuboku’s Control Room.
From there, I'll make it work somehow.
But if Radiata isn't working,
we won't have a camouflage.
Oh, geez. That piece of junk?
Leave everything to Walnut.
What will you do, Chisato?
All right, LycoReco is back in business.
Let's go!
Bring it on!
Where are we going?
Stepping firmly up the long slope
They're on their way. I didn't tell them
that it was your request.
Thanks.
How long until LilyBell arrive?
About 50 minutes.
How long are you gonna be in there?
Commander takes her time in the bathroom!
- Come on, stand up.
- Are you okay? Hang in there.
- This way!
- Almost there.
Just this one path to the Control Room?
That's right. Let's go.
I wonder if she met up with her partner.
Nothing.
She’s the last one.
Hibana.
I have to take Takina's place.
Got it.
See you.
This seems to be footage from within Enkuboku.
A man has just been shot!
The shooter is a girl,
seemingly in her teens.
The more you fight, the rowdier it will get!
A fierce barrage of gunfire can be clearly seen.
The Metropolitan Police Department
has still not released any information.
Hup!
Takina.
Fuki!
Fuki.
What?
Stop it.
This isn't your job site!
LilyBell are here.
What?
Damn it! Why
Hurry up. They're here.
Kill them when you find them!
Whoa, they have quite the momentum.
Oh no, that way is no good.
Chisato, the Lycoris are in trouble. Hurry!
Can't, can't, can't, can't, can't
Huh? Where? Where is it? This thing?
- Is there a spot to plug in a USB around here?
- Come on, where, where, where?
Geez.
Huh? USB? What's USB?
Don't tell me complicated stuff!
Wait, you're looking for something
you don't know?
I'm looking for a hole to plug this into, right?
I know at least that much!
Then what are you looking for?
Don't plug it into random places!
Stop flirting! Something dangerous
is coming our way, right!?
Hey! We can't be airborne forever!
Don't shout! I know that!
Sheesh!
Any minute now.
Is this it?
Which one?
You know what? Don't push me.
You're getting in my way, being next to me and all!
Get outta my way.
I can't reach it like this, Fuki!
This is bad. Real bad!
Just a bit. Just a bit more
Finally!
Where are you, where are you,
where are you
There you are, Robota!
Wh-What the
ONE MOMENT PLEASE
Huh? What, what, what?
I found you, Robota. I found you, Robota.
Walnut? But you should be dead.
I'm the best hacker in the world!
A century too early for that!
Pinpointed you!
My, oh my, oh my. Oof.
Oh. Hello, police?
The broadcast from Enkuboku has stopped.
The police has pinpointed
the hacker's location thanks to a tip.
My door!
I’ve captured the reported hacker.
Why?
Well, I guess Radiata is up next.
They're such a handful.
Radiata's functions have been restored.
However, someone has taken over it.
Identified as Walnut.
So he is still alive.
That old guy. Is he friend or foe?
That's enough. Freeze.
We can’t keep going like this!
Don't complain!
You wanna become a 1st, don't you?
So? What do we do from here?
Who knows?
We're going in.
Where are we going?
LYCORIS CRISIS
Stepping firmly up the long slope
Hello! Were you surprised by that?
That was pretty shocking, wasn’t it?
It was so realistic that I thought
it was really happening!
An attraction at Enkuboku, featuring
Secret Organization Lycoris, has been confirmed!
Towards the rising sun
Life's an adventure, don't you worry
They won't go easy on you,
and will be a huge adventure!
Let's all have a great time
at Enkuboku in the new year!
What? You're kidding me.
That totally fooled me!
They spent way too much money on that.
If you've made up your mind,
let's keep traveling
Radiata is back up and running.
Coverup of internet data
and media information has begun.
Commander.
It's Chisato Nishikigi. Shall we continue?
The situation has changed. Retreat.
Stop shooting!
Connect me with Fuki.
I will take command from here.
Alpha One.
Kusunoki here.
Someone you know?
No. Why?
That was another glance
that seemed to hold a grudge.
Huh? Seriously?
Should I have smiled at him?
Hey, are you all done there?
We're gonna crash.
I'm going home.
The tiny one that was at the café?
Yeah. It'll cause all sorts of trouble,
so please don't tell Ms. Kusunoki.
Then all of this will be like it never happened?
I'm glad.
My promotion is on the line after all.
Thank you for that.
Please let her go.
I'll fill in for Takina's position!
That's nothing.
I was the one
who should have said thank you.
And yet
Because you got kicked out in her place,
she can still be here.
Why don't you at least say thanks?
Oh. That's how things went.
I should have properly talked
to the commander.
That’s true. You’re pretty horrible.
Huh? I know. I know, but
Everyone lacks self-awareness.
What color uniform
would you like for the café?
This time, you broke standby orders too,
so there's a possibility you'll be sent to LycoReco.
Sheesh, don't say stupid stuff like that.
Well, you can just use mine.
The elevator will be arriving soon!
Commander, the cleaners who were in the process
of picking up Majima aren't responding.
Heading down!
Hey, that's my bag!
Hey, Chisato!
See, look. Takina gave this to me!
Chisato!
Chisato!
Yo.
