Platinum End (2021) s01e17 Episode Script

1
Joso Academy's student,
Mizukiyo Minamikawa
is Kanade Uryu,
aka Metropoliman's classmate.
Stop! Please don't kill me!
I won't do anything! I won't tell anyone!
He can see White Arrow.
Is he a god candidate?
What do you want with me
Kanade, Yuito, and all of you!
He indeed knows
Metropoliman's real identity.
Why aren't you fleeing?
Because I don't have wings!
Looks like he's in the second-rank.
But I'm in the second-rank
or the third-rank.
Use a Red Arrow.
-You're a god candidate, aren't you?
-Yes.
If you say so.
We'll be allies for the next 33 days.
Yes, we're allies.
Minamikawa has a second-rank angel.
That means
The last angel is a special-rank angel.
Nakaumi's house, which we're
going to next, is just nearby.
Come on.
Are you sure about this, Brother?
Dad, Mom, and Grandpa
all committed suicide.
I never thought you were a god candidate
causing them to commit suicide.
But I'm just fulfilling their wishes.
I don't want to live anymore.
Especially after seeing those who are
pleased with other people's misfortunes,
it makes me want to quit being a human.
If you're not eager to die,
you might fail to commit suicide
and suffer more instead.
Don't worry. I don't want to live anymore.
I understand.
Goodbye, Brother.
A god candidate?
Who are you?
How dare you break into someone's house.
Ogaro?
Angel of Darkness?
An angel disinterested
in becoming a special-rank.
He's the only angel
who knows about the underworld of heaven.
He's not a special-rank angel?
-What about your angel?
-What?
You said you have
a second-rank angel, right?
No. Well
That's odd. The last angel
should be a special-rank angel.
The special-rank angel should be Muni.
Where is your angel?
I'm sorry! I'm not a god candidate!
I thought I'd be killed
if I didn't say so. So I
I thought I'd finally found
the identities of all the god candidates.
At least we already know
Metropoliman's identity.
I can be considered helpful.
Metropoliman
What on earth are you all doing?
How dare you break into our house!
Wait a moment, Brother.
You're Red and Yellow, right?
You're not in your disguise today?
You came in time.
You can kill me anytime.
Kill my brother and me with White Arrows
or Red Arrows, I don't care.
This Red Arrow is pretty interesting.
Shoot it at someone who wants to die,
command him to, and he'll do so at once.
In other words, it's an arrow
that fulfills the person's wish.
It's an arrow of hope.
But it depends on how determined
the person is in dying.
For example, my grandpa.
He was on an artificial ventilator
and is in pain every day.
So I tried to shoot him with a Red Arrow.
You can die now.
He immediately unplugged the artificial
ventilator and died peacefully.
Died with dignity. Euthanasia.
I think I've done a good act.
Dad never mentioned he wanted to die.
But my mom cheated with a younger man
so they divorced.
After that, he stopped going to work.
He mindlessly stared at the teacup
on the table every day.
I couldn't stand it, so I shot him
with Red Arrow and said
Why don't you just die.
You're right.
The next day, his body was found
floating on the river.
Then, you used a Red Arrow
and got your mom to
You understand it well.
Is it because you've experienced it?
There is another
interesting aspect of this arrow.
I can shoot at those who have annoyed me,
and they will die as commanded.
My mom died in regret
for abandoning her family.
The man wanted to die with her,
so I also shot a Red Arrow at him.
But he didn't die, he only apologized.
I've tried shooting the arrows
at those who clamored to die.
But they cried that it was a lie.
They just wanted someone to notice them.
It exposed their foolish
and shallow nature.
Thanks to this, I can now tell
who truly wants to die.
And I take up the responsibility
of giving them a push.
You've been using it the wrong way.
Is it so?
In Japan, suicide is the leading cause
of death at ages 15 to 39 years old.
They were the ones
who sought death and succeeded.
Many want to die
but can't muster the courage
so they persist
to live in pain until the end.
Even so,
initially, I accepted the wings
and the arrows as a hope to live on.
But I soon realized
it wasn't what I thought.
The hope of living
is the ugly desire and worries
of those alive.
My angel does not deny it.
Right, Ogaro?
Yes.
The wings and the arrows
are human desires?
Living up to his title it seems
You're right.
So I don't use them to fulfill my selfish
desire but to help those who seek death.
Assisting suicide is a crime.
Huh? It is?
You didn't know?
I won't do it then.
I already helped many people anyway.
But
let me help my brother commit suicide.
Then I'll kill myself to end it all.
No.
Please don't get in my way.
No. Don't do it.
Then tell me a reason
why it's better not to commit suicide.
Irresponsible people like you who stop
suicides are the ones I hate the most.
I now know that assisted suicide
is prohibited by law.
But the law does not stipulate
that one cannot commit suicide.
So it's personal freedom.
Because it's my own life.
Suicide is the most human-like way to die.
It's the most unfortunate way to die
that only humans can do.
That's your personal opinion.
My personal opinion
That might be true.
I don't want you to choose
the unfortunate way to die.
I hope you'll live on and gain happiness.
That's why I'm stopping you.
That's your personal hope.
Besides, the misfortune
in your eyes is nobility to me.
Could you please provide
a more logical argument to refute it?
No!
It has nothing to do
with the law, opinion, or logic.
Someone will feel sad about your death.
It's enough reason not to kill yourself.
This is the most common way
of saying that we're unfilial.
My brother doesn't want to live too.
No one will be sad about my death.
You have friends, don't you?
No. No one cares about me at school.
I knew you would say so.
You think you don't have friends,
but there are people who like
and care about you.
Kanade Uryu was such a person.
He was Metropoliman.
Everyone thinks he's studying abroad
in England this semester.
But I know he's no longer alive.
He was popular amongst the girls,
but he looked down on others.
He didn't have
a girlfriend or any friends.
Even I felt that Kanade
was a little infuriating .
But when I told him
I wanted to watch a girl,
He stuck by me without complaining once.
He obviously didn't consider me a friend.
When Metropoliman dies,
I thought people wouldn't feel sad
but instead feel happy.
That's what I thought.
But when he died,
I felt so sad and cried so hard.
Although I still don't think
we were friends,
he was kind and willing to talk to me.
Now that I think about it, he must have
realized I found out his true identity.
It was thanks to Kanade
that I was able to start dating Sayuri.
Oh, right!
If you're in love
you won't feel the urge to die.
No
I'm sorry. What I wanted to say is, that
regardless of who passes away, there will
always be someone who feels their loss.
They will feel sadder
if the cause was suicide.
And honestly, it causes trouble.
Trouble?
If a classmate commits suicide,
no one would remain calm.
Even if they don't feel sad,
they will unconsciously
become depressed and restless.
Even if they weren't close to you,
your death leaves a mark on their hearts.
Isn't this causing trouble to others?
Impressive.
It's the first time
I think it makes sense.
Really?
Although I think that those
who commit suicide are at wit's end
and can't consider such a thing.
Even so, it's not good
to cause trouble to others.
I don't want that
I don't want to cause trouble
to others at all.
I get it now.
I won't help my brother
in committing suicide.
-What?
-Just do it in your own way.
Do it in a way that won't cause
any distress to others.
I'll also do it in a way
that won't cause trouble to others.
That's it. Please leave.
Electing the next God
requires agreement
from other god candidates.
I hope you'd stay with us.
I don't care who becomes the next God.
You might feel that way,
but without knowing your location,
we won't be able to obtain your consent.
Yes.
Though, it won't matter
if you've committed suicide.
How could we choose
the next God so quickly?
I will have committed suicide by then.
No. We're running out of time.
Right now, the god candidates
are being tracked down by the government
of Japan and other countries.
We haven't found the identity
of one god candidate.
Before they're exploited
or obliterated by the country,
we must find the last candidate
and discuss who will become the God.
If you don't come with us,
you're likely to cause trouble
to other god candidates.
Okay. I'll go with you all
but I won't change my mind
about committing suicide.
If we elect God while I'm still alive,
then I'll promise you I'll vote.
Okay?
Okay.
All right.
I'll only stay with you all.
Let me introduce you all.
They're going against
their organization to help us.
Mr. Hoshi, Ms. Yumiki,
are police officers.
-Welcome.
-Welcome.
Have a seat and relax.
Would you like some juice or black tea?
We have some cookies too.
Would you like some?
A PERSON SHOT BY A RED ARROW
WON'T BE HIT BY ANOTHER ONE.
Mirai Kakehashi.
Special-rank angel, Nasse.
Saki Hanakago. First-rank angel, Revel.
Shuji Nakaumi. First-rank angel, Ogaro.
I can't see the angels.
Did I mention it correctly?
Yes. I can see them clearly.
We can't see them, can we?
And
Susumu Yuito. First-rank angel, Penema.
After calling the world to elect the God,
he went missing.
We don't seem to be able
to find the god candidates.
This is the calm before the storm.
It's a common development in a game.
And Yuri Temari,
who was caught by the police,
has a second-rank angel, Yazeli.
After Temari graduated from college,
she worked at a big advertising agency.
She had attempted suicide twice.
In April of this year, she suddenly shared
her rich lifestyle on social media,
which led to suspicions.
I can't stand it anymore.
Not having a phone
makes me feel so stressed. I'm dying.
To the person
who's keeping watch, I'm dying.
Without a phone, I'll die of anxiety.
You're under police protection.
Please bear with it.
It was you who asked me
to seek their protection!
The global hunt
for the god candidates is still ongoing.
This is better
than becoming a target of criticism.
There is only one unidentified
god candidate left.
The candidate has
a special-rank angel, Muni, right?
Yes.
Excuse me.
What is it, Nakaumi?
I'm thinking of transferring
to a new school and committing suicide.
As long as my death
is made known to everyone here,
it won't cause
any distress to others, right?
Wait. What you mean is
No way.
Since we've known each other,
we'll feel even sadder by your death.
That's right. No one is going to be happy.
See? There's indeed
a bad impression of suicide.
This is a positive and wise choice.
Well, just become the God
and make suicide a noble act.
Nasse, cut the crap.
What did Nasse say?
She suggested Nakaumi be the God
and make suicide a noble act.
It's a good suggestion.
What?
I won't fall into that trap.
I won't be able to die
after becoming the God.
Besides, I don't think
I can change the world at will.
This is a willful and foolish desire.
Foolish desire?
A foolish and ugly desire.
It's no different from the willful
and filthy desires of my parents.
I was born out of this filthy desire.
No one in the world wants to be born.
We were born due to
our parents' desire to have kids.
No.
We could just be
a happy by-product of their sexual desire.
My mom desired the body of a young man
and abandoned the family.
She abandoned us with ease.
Because we were no different from poop.
Don't say such a thing.
I'm not going to stop.
It feels so disgusting.
People make love in the name of love
but is that not just
the filthy desires of humans?
Humans are bodies
filled with such troublesome desires.
It can also be interpreted
as we're alive because of desires.
We crave delicious foods.
We want to be with the person we love.
We want to be happy.
We ought to have
these wonderful desires
as they give meaning
to our lives and instill hope.
Of course,
I understand how you feel about your mom.
But we should suppress our desires that
would cause distress to others, right?
The fact that you don't want
to cause trouble to others
is a good desire to keep yourself alive.
Otherwise,
since you have wings,
you wouldn't be staying here.
You would be shooting Red Arrows
and forcing people
to agree with your suicidal act.
Before God is chosen
No.
Please help us until we deal with
everything that's happening now.
Shuji
You don't have to die now, right?
All right.
That's great.
Thank you.
Let's do our best.
Let's discuss the God election.
That's what Susumu Yuito said
in the live broadcast.
Yes.
We've reached a consensus
with Nakaumi this way.
So, it will also work
on the other god candidates.
Okay. I support your idea.
Now,
let's talk about how
to find the last candidate
Although it's hard to believe
in the existence of god candidates,
half the world
has already come to believe it.
Even the governments
acknowledge their existence.
Look!
It's the god candidates!
What?
If people spread the word on social media.
They'll appear.
We're here to communicate, not to compete.
To calm the chaos,
what we should do as god candidates
is to communicate peacefully
so that our decisions
won't cause grief, pain,
and misfortune to others.
Red.
Susumu Yuito.
I've been waiting for you, Red.
I've finally met you.
What a pleasant speech.
But are you the real Red?
Yellow stay where you are.
Be careful.
He's the most powerful god candidate now.
You can shoot an arrow to clarify it.
You may come closer to shoot.
Really?
You're indeed the real Red.
This is amazing!
Can I do it again?
I want to watch it again.
Please?
Since you believe me,
let's talk it out at a deserted place.
Okay! I'll follow you.
So this is how you look.
I'm delighted you let me see your face.
You have White Arrows, right?
Yeah.
Just like me,
this kid is eager to elect the God.
I'll help you.
What?
Well, let's find the last person quickly.
It's exactly as I expected.
I'm delighted!
This is for you.
It can only be used to contact us.
I won't ask you to come with us.
But I hope we can keep in touch
and cooperate.
Thank you!
Among the five identified god candidates,
four of them are here.
Next, we're going to look for
Don't let anyone notice
that you're talking to us.
What is it?
She seems to be a little
Talking to the angel again?
Between you and me,
I can't keep up with the current trend
of believing in God and angels.
What do you think of this suggestion?
Meeting up with
the other god candidates
And
When all five candidates get together,
under the vigilant gaze of the world,
we must call for
the last candidate to show up.
If we let them know that
we want to elect God peacefully,
they will let their guard down
and show up.
Since we're doing it to such an extent,
their absence will only cause
trouble to others.
After the last candidate shows up,
the god candidates can proceed
with the discussion and elect a God.
What a good suggestion.
But
Is it possible for someone like me,
who struggles with even
simple office tasks,
to escape from this place?
