Chrono Crusade (2003) s01e23 Episode Script
The Noise
Rosette
Chrono?
Yeah
Here. This is from the man who's
with the Holy Woman.
Rosette
Noise
Roset
Rosette, I saw the letter.
What is it you want me to give back?
She means her time.
Aion
Give me back my life.
In other words, cancel the contract.
I want to save everyone.
This is a fitting place for her to be released from
a devil's domain, don't you think?
Stop playing with our hearts!
Play? Me?
The one that is playing is the hypocrite
that is idly standing by.
You're unfaithful too, Chrono.
You're still not over your feelings for Magdalene,
and yet this time, it's Rosette Christopher?
No matter, lust is also one of the great sins.
Using one of the words you all like,
it would be love, I suppose.
If you love her, then why have
you come back to life?
Wouldn't it better for Rosette if you were dead?
If you live, then Rosette's life will
continue to be whittled away.
I see, that's how much you want to kill Rosette.
You always end the life of the woman
you love with your own hand.
Wouldn't it be better to change your
name to the God of Death?
Say whatever you want!
You won't give it back?
In that case, destroy him.
Back then
What happened to the woman
you seduced earlier?
She was boring.
It really is funny.
People set their feet on the path to
destruction of their own will.
It means that the time is right.
Yeah
They're corrupt, so much so
that it makes me shiver.
Corruption is an aphrodisiac to us.
The absence of God has made Pandemonium
synonymous with the human world.
People have become so that they
can only hear our voices now.
This is because they know that lust and pleasure
open up more wonderful doors than prayer.
Heaven is pitiful, is it not?
People have hearts, and because they think,
now His light can't reach the world of man.
But it can reach here.
Pandemonium has already been reduced to
being Heaven's contractor.
She's nothing more than a clown whose
purpose is to praise Heaven.
Being a clown is a sad existence.
They excite us and let us sharpen
our fangs and claws.
We're going to make the
world of man a sacrifice.
We will use the clown's head,
hold the one maiden that is
beloved by God in our arms,
and using the power of the language
of man and violence,
defile Heaven and make it into Earth,
and Earth into Heaven.
That's
In other words, freedom.
Called sin, you see.
Freedom
We will conceal the marks of being incomplete,
and as truly complete beings, recreate the world.
If only I hadn't taken his hand back then
Where's Rosette?
This is horrible.
They have the impudence to say that the
Magdalene Order is a band of heretics.
That's malice they call justice.
Thanks to Gilliam's connections,
we'll be guests here for two or three days.
Sister Kate is trying to return to New York.
Thinking about Rosette?
At this rate, she's going to be a martyr.
Joshua too.
Hey, have you guys come to
see the Astral Line too?
It'll be soon. It's come really close.
I wonder when my big sister is going to come?
If we're going to explore it,
right now is our only chance.
What's that?
Minister Remington picked them up
for me. They're my horns.
What?
Satella, Fiore and Mr. Steiner, I killed them all.
Because I chose freedom.
When Aion had cut off Pandemonium's
head, I should have killed him.
My weakness in not being able to defy my desire
for freedom brought everything about.
If I didn't exist
Sister Kate
Excuse me
I thought so! You're the young
lady from the carnival, right?
It's been tough, hasn't it?
Even I was surprised that that energetic
girl was the Holy Woman.
And you are?
Oh, excuse me. I work for a local
photography studio.
When I inquired at the Magdalene Order,
it was in that state.
I've been looking for you for a while now.
The picture is ready, so
There's also this.
I caught a glimpse of the Holy Woman in
town and took a picture,
and I just had to have you see it.
How horrible!
It'll probably take some time
until 'Cisco is rebuilt.
But I'm going to continue to take
pictures of this town reviving.
Right now, what's going on in this country
What kind of times we're living in
I want to leave it behind to tell those
of the next generation.
See you.
Well
Thank you very much for this!
Proof of our precious moment, that we lived.
Thank you for leaving it behind.
Sister Kate
Where's Rosette?
She's vanished. We're back to square one.
I see
What's that?
It's a picture of Rosette that
a local cameraman took.
This is completely
It's conceivable that for Aion,
the disturbances in 'Cisco were just test cases.
For the people who have succumbed to despair,
Rosette's stigmata are a greater
hope than anything else.
Aion is probably going to use hope as a weapon,
and guide this country into chaos.
What will await us after that happens?
The realization of the second of the
Prophecies of Fatima
An even greater war will
I believe we are being tested.
For what?!
What is the Lord trying to make us do?!
Bring peace to the lost lambs,
give rest to the fangs of the wolf,
and call the hammer of death unto the devil!
Why you!
There are no virtuous people, not a one.
There are no enlightened people.
There are no people that turn to God.
Everyone has gone astray,
and everyone has become idle as well.
There aren't any people being virtuous.
Not a single one.
In this one month, there have in fact been
over two hundred riots across the country.
The police alone cannot control them,
and there are even areas where the
National Guard has been mobilized.
Furthermore, even the police are
I can hear the noise.
Noise?
He says that it's the voices of devils.
Of devils?
Yes, that someone is trying to trick him, and
What are those wounds on your wrists?
They're in order to protect me.
Why?
By cutting the same seals as the
Holy Woman into myself,
I can make the noise go away.
But there are still guys that
make me hear the noise.
I will kill them and become free.
What is there for you once you become free?
Did the Holy Woman say something?
That Heaven would become Earth,
and Earth would become Heaven.
Where can you see the Holy Woman?
That is decided by the Holy Woman.
We, the Crusaders, just do as she says.
Crusaders?
Yes, the general term for those
people that imitate
the Holy Woman's stigmata by
cutting their own bodies
is Crusade, and the warriors who
have engraved the stigmata
into themselves are called Crusaders.
They're no different from commonplace killers.
They claim that what they're
doing is a battle for justice.
Justice
However, this is clearly nothing
but violence that has overstepped the bounds.
And at the center of this is
Sister Rosette, yes?
We still have not yet found her.
The wounds won't heal.
Is this the pain you felt that I inflicted on you?
You won't give it back?
What can I do to make this up to you?
What can I
He's still alive.
It looks like he wants to kill
you, no matter the cost.
You will die, not having saved anyone.
I refuse to accept that.
I will take back my own life myself.
Bring him here one more time.
Good girl
Wouldn't it better for Rosette if you were dead?
If you live, then Rosette's life will
continue to be whittled away.
When it's all said and done, I'm a devil.
Even if you comfort me, all I can do is take.
In the end, I
Are regrets all you have?
Azmaria
Even I have regrets, that I wasn't
able to do anything,
that even now, Rosette is suffering by herself
In that case, I
We're the same! We both fought
alongside Rosette.
Even about Miss Satella, I've thought,
"If only I had done that," and the like.
We can't undo it anymore, but even still!
Our meeting each other wasn't for nothing!
Don't deny even the good things!
Please don't make it so that even
the precious things didn't exist!
You're the one that gave me strength, Chrono.
It's because the time I have is limited
that I have no time to have doubts.
Save me, Chrono.
I came back intending to protect
Rosette, and yet
I'm going to rescue him, no matter what.
Rosette didn't run away, and yet
I ran away from Pandemonium,
and from Aion,
and from Magdalene's sadness.
I was on the verge of running away again.
Chrono
Azmaria, I'm going to settle my
own matters myself too.
This time I'm going to bring Rosette back,
no matter what!
Chrono
Well said!
I've been waiting for those words!
Elder
I made this in preparation for this day.
This is something that can mystically
and scientifically deduce the
whereabouts of a person
from the traces left behind
on something they used!
Now, hand me that gun!
Oh, yeah, sure.
What the? I haven't even started it yet.
Rosette is calling.
What?!
Did he say what the location was?
Central Park, but he said he was going alone.
If he manipulates the mobs,
it will be a repeat of 'Cisco.
We need to head there as well.
Rosette
What an inelegant tool.
The Holy Woman said that she's going
to retrieve her life herself.
I will be a spectator, just like Him.
Rosette
If that's what you want to do,
then go ahead and shoot.
If it's for you If it's so that you can live
Then it's all right if I die.
But before I die, there's something
that I just have to do.
I have to settle things with my own past!
Chrono, why you!
Die and repent.
Chrono
Rosette!
Rosette!
Chrono
You know who I am, right?
Your heart has been freed from Aion's spell.
But the cost for that
was the final stigmata?
Chrono
So these are your horns.
Chrono!
I'm sure that I said that I was going to paint
the other ending to the Apocalypse.
Your power has already been surpassed!
Chrono!
Aion
Chrono! Chrono!
Chrono!
Stop it, Rose
I'll give it to you.
I'll give it all to you. So fight, Chrono.
If my life can truly save a lot of people,
then it's all right if I die.
Even if this is just God's plot to
restore the corrupt world
I'm the one that will make the choice.
That is the greatest power. That's why
God granted us wisdom,
why He granted us hearts.
I understand now, Aion.
We need to be incomplete.
Making you think that is also one of
their tricks, you know.
Chrono
Chrono!
Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani
Chrono
Rosette! Chrono!
Rosette!
Rosette! Chrono!
Rosette! Rosette!
Rosette!
Rosette! Chrono!
Rosette! Rosette!
Rosette! Chrono!
Rosette! Rosette!
Minister Remington
This is all that was
What of Rosette and Chrono?
So it's over.
I
I believe that somewhere, Rosette is alive.
I'm sure of it.
It might be a clichéd dream,
but I wanted my own house.
Your own house?
A small house on a grassy field.
Plant some crops, tend some sheep,
and at night, light a fire in the fireplace.
No matter where we go,
I'm sure that wherever I'm with you is my home.
Last episode, "Chrono"
Let's go back, Rosette, to our home.
