Chrono Crusade (2003) s01e15 Episode Script

The Pursuers

There should be someone here
by the name of Chrono.
My apologies, but who may I say is asking?
If you say "Duke", he'll know.
Duffau
Chrono
A devil?
That's right! He's a pursuer!
Steiner, back away!
Don't be so hasty!
I did not come here to fight you.
What?
Sinner Chrono, and you humans
We are all incomplete creations,
cursed by the number six.
Hence, we have a common enemy.
Enemy?
Let us defeat the Sinner Aion together!
And for the sake of retrieving the lost darkness,
to once again place the head of
Pandemonium beneath the earth,
Chrono, and you humans, I want your help.
Pursuer
We cannot approve of this.
For we servants of the Lord,
actually working together with them
is out of the question.
But it is not inconcievable that they are so
desperate that they don't have any choice.
Isn't it much more likely that they have
some sort of hidden agenda?
After all, they are
The one called Duffau
He holds the title of Duke,
and it appears that he wields considerable
influence in Pandemonium.
Should we not first listen carefully
to what he has to say?
This incident occurred because the New York
branch welcomed that which is not human.
We are well aware of that.
But there is something we would like
for you to keep in mind.
What is that, Sister Kate?
Chrono has contributed significantly
to the Magdalene Order.
The number of cases that have been solved
thanks to him is not small.
And this may be a good chance
for us, Chairman.
Until now, we have only been able to learn
about Aion and his plans
from scraps of information and deduction.
But now, we can obtain an unsurpassed
source of information.
Should we not ally with them?
You can't be
For us to settle this by merely saying
"he betrayed our Lord"
would only demonstrate our own prejudice.
The ones that taught us that were
Chrono and Sister Rosette.
I will trust their judgment!
I hope that this doesn't become the greatest
mistake since the fruit of knowledge.
Even still, we must have the courage
to take this step forward.
Somehow, you've come to be similar to Rosette.
We won't know anything unless we try.
I think that if she were here,
she'd be sure to say that.
Lord Duffau
How is Pandemonium?
I can't keep my eyes open.
There's too much light.
I see.
What about Chrono?
Wait until dusk.
He will come here, bearing the answer.
Those clothes look good on you.
What, these? I borrowed them from Satella.
I was contacted by the Council.
Then Sister Kate
She said that she'll leave it to us.
The Council hasn't accepted it,
but she'll take care of it somehow.
It's strange, isn't it?
Even though I'm so far away, I'm
causing problems for Sister Kate again.
That's not true at all.
You know, I don't know why.
I never thought to find out why
Chrono is called a Sinner.
Pandemonium's head?
What is it?
That bearded guy said something,
but what in the world did you guys do?!
Let's go to a free world.
Aion, you
That's right, it's Pandemonium's head.
This is a revolution!
We're going to destroy eternity!
The era of the old codgers ends today!
Aion
You're late! Man, what were you doing?
Shader
So you've come.
Are we really doing this?
Are you prepared to take
the plunge into freedom?
Our dream
That's right. For that purpose,
nothing is beyond you, right?
Is this really all right?
Hey! Let's do this already!
I want to kill. I want to kill more.
Chrono, I'll ask one more time.
Are you prepared to take
the plunge into freedom?
Then that's fine.
The one that fell from Heaven
became Pandemonium.
A fallen angel? It couldn't be
Pandemonium hated God,
and granted knowledge to man,
who were made in His image.
Heaven and Earth and man formed
a never-ending cycle of faith and hatred,
and became the order we call this world.
That can't
Aion said that he wanted to change this order
into a world where desire is not a sin.
When desire is born, then,
and only then, will hope shine.
Just as devils are necessary so that
Heaven's authority can be conveyed.
That's why Aion said he wanted
to be free of Heaven's yoke.
Let's go to a free world.
But the price of freedom was
No, actually, that's what Aion wanted.
Aion, what have you done?
What's wrong, making a face like that?
There's no one left to challenge us anymore.
Look, Pandemonium can't
say anything anymore.
We're free!
Are you planning on destroying the darkness?!
Why are you getting mad, Chrono?
Burn Burn
This is great!
I'm looking forward to everything that's going
to happen from here on, you know?
You bastards
Do you understand what you've done?!
You're late, Duffau.
Aion, so it's you.
So now the old codgers show up?
Old codgers? No, these guys are prey!
They can drop dead!
Let's go, Chrono. You're an accomplice too.
You're going to help us out.
That smarts!
I have you!
Aion!
Chrono, put the head back!
It's not too late yet!
This is a revolution!
You don't understand anything!
Kill them all! Let none survive!
Don't leave even a single legion!
Oh, here you are.
I heard that you're going to 'Cisco
Yes, Sister Kate said that she wanted us
to support Rosette.
About that I want you to give these to Rosette.
The fight will probably become
even fiercer from here on.
With that in mind, I made some Gospel
and some Gospel-spec clips.
Of course, I've readied some for you too.
Thank you very much!
Rosette will be happy too!
You girls stay firm as well.
Yes, Sir!
We're all here because we've been
chosen by Minister Remington.
We understand our mission quite well, Elder.
We're going to go and do our best!
I see, I see
Things are going to get lonely here too.
Elder
After all, you've all grown up so splendidly.
What are you doing?!
The Virgin Mary is watching!
Lord, please forgive these girls,
who would strike a helpless old man
Everything is open to the Lord!
Ow!
I'm Gilliam, from the Magdalene Order's
West Coast branch.
Sister Kate asked me to come here
and stand witness,
and to cooperate with you.
I've prepared a complete set of
Militia equipment. It's in the car.
Please use it.
Thank you very much.
I'm Sister Rosette.
You're Chrono, right?
I've also repaired the equipment box.
Have you come to a decision?
The Magdalene Order will abide by
Sister Rosette and Chrono's decision!
Can you hear it?
The voice of desire
It's a good era, isn't it?
Lady Shader has called for you.
She says that the preparations are finished.
Good morning!
Oh, Fi, my dear
What?
Thank you, big sister.
Oh my, oh my You're close, aren't you?
Damn.
Let me see.
Yes, Sir!
I've finally finished it.
The way for that which is incomplete
to become complete.
It was pretty difficult.
It would have been nice if they had written
in words that were a little easier to understand.
I did quite a bit of planning. It was really tough.
The shining wings that are guided
by the seven virtues
Forgiveness for the fallen angels,
as is spoken of in the Book of Atonement.
When Pandemonium's head, six of the Apostles,
and the seven virtues are assembled,
the drops of Atonement will be born
in the great river of souls.
At that time, Heaven will become Earth,
and Earth will become Heaven.
Time will once again paint a spiral.
The other ending to the apocalypse
is finally coming into view.
All that's left is the song of charity!
Chrono and Mary of Magdalene
will be bringing it soon.
Then let's have a welcoming party!
I'll be in charge of reception!
Even still, Joshua possesses incredible power.
I wouldn't have been able to make
this magic circle if he weren't here.
Lord Aion, I would like to take
Lord Joshua back to his room.
He seems very tired.
I'm all right, big sister.
No, you mustn't push yourself.
You humans are an eyesore!
Rizel was as good as killed by this guy!
For a human like this!
Genai, why are you getting mad?
Please stop! Please release your hand!
Lord Joshua has a vital mission!
Hey, since when have you been able
to talk to your master like that?
Calm down, Genai.
Getting pent up, are we?
Thank you, big sister.
In the end, I'm always being
protected by you, aren't I?
We have no time.
Through Aion's theft of the
head of Pandemonium,
the light of Heaven is in the process
of flowing into the darkness.
With the vanishing of the darkness,
Heaven will once again lack balance,
and will probably bring disaster
to the human world.
Chrono, he's gathering all of the Apostles.
What are his intentions?
I don't know what he really had in mind.
He simply said over and over
that he would become the Creator.
By destroying the world?
I won't let him do that.
This is like another contract, isn't it?
Don't do it!
Satella
What are you thinking?
Relying on a devil so quickly
You're no different from a devil worshipper.
Exactly what is it that you have faith in?
This.
The rumored watch of life
So you have no time either.
But I don't regret it.
I'm the one that has to settle this with Aion!
If someone has to fight,
then it's all right if it's me, right?
I will fight, together with you.
Such noble words.
You truly deserve the appellation
Mary of Magdalene.
What do you mean? Aion calls me that too.
Were you unaware?
You too were granted power by Heaven,
not just your younger brother.
What are you saying? There's no way.
I don't have power like Joshua,
or wings like Azmaria.
Mary who brings the light,
as you are called by the church
You, whose delicate fate is about
to be possessed by darkness,
because your true form has been twisted.
Soon, marks will be engraved into your body.
The marks that will protect you.
Marks?
Minister Gilliam, thank you very much.
Please, for the time being,
take care of Rosette and the others.
You're pretty capable too, Sister Kate,
to challenge the Council.
Sooner or later, it was going to end up like this.
Ever since the day we took
responsibility for Chrono
It seems like something about you
has changed too.
And about Rosette Duffau said
something that worries me.
Wait, Rosette!
Are you really all right with this?
I am.
The devils will become our
greatest source of information.
Source of information?
And clues about your older sister too.
And so, we'll impose on you for a while longer.
Oh, and I want to take a bath before bed,
so please take care of it!
Yes, Lady Rosette.
Goodness. I'm going to bill all these expenses
to the Magdalene Order, all right?
Rosette is persistent, isn't she?
That's why I want to stay by her side.
What are you talking about?
Oh, nothing.
What does he mean, marks?
Soon, marks will be engraved into your body.
Rosette? Is something the matter?
No, it's nothing.
It looks like Chrono has a terrible past,
and Rosette made a contract
with someone like that.
Everyone's incredible,
so sometimes I get daunted.
You have the power of God's Apostles
or something, right?
Wings appear when I sing, that's all.
Like you, Miss Satella, you can make
various things appear from jewels, can't you?
That makes it sound like a street performance.
Next episode: "Believer"
I'm going to sing more than usual!
