Wolf's Rain (2003) s01e26 Episode Script

Moonlight Crucible

The time has come.
Two hundred years have passed since the day of destruction which Darcia the First is said to have brought down upon us.
We have assembled all of the necessary items as recorded in the Book of the Moon.
The guide of the Lunar Flower, awakened by wolf's blood.
The wolf whose birthright it is to rule this world.
The Moonlight Crucible, which has given power to this city by transforming the energy it receives from basking in the moonlight.
However, that role is now at an end.
Yes.
This is the birth of a Paradise which will open for us Nobles, not the wolves.
Moonlight Crucible Cheza! I've been waiting for you.
I never thought that I would look upon that face again.
The face of your beloved maiden.
She is your younger sister.
Her soul has been lost ever since that day.
You were the only one who was unwilling to accept it.
So I did it for you.
I did it all for you, my beloved.
Yes The only things we shared were our face and body.
If Hamona was light, then I was shadow.
I was content with that.
But then you appeared, and everything was thrown into turmoil.
The mastermind behind it all was Darcia the Third.
You brought it down upon yourself.
Come, let us dance.
The city's lights will soon go out.
The final spell which Darcia the First once gave his life while attempting to cast That spell is now beginning.
Cheza She's withering? Is something wrong with the water? No, that's not it She's starting to bloom! Cheza Cheza Where are you, Cheza? I can't hear your song Kiba Kiba Cheza! At this rate, Paradise will Cheza! The gates of Paradise are being opened.
A Paradise for us Nobles No, for just us two.
Come It moved just now! Good! Don't quit yet! Oh, I get it Doing it that way won't do any good! Listen to me! The energy flow has turned unstable these past few minutes.
If these cells use electric locks, you might be able to open your cell doors by slamming into them each time the lights dim.
Now! He's right! Keep it up! Do it again! Good, one more time! You can do it! It worked! Man, it looks like I didn't have to come all this way, after all.
Hey.
Hige! You're okay! C'mon, get out of there.
Where are you planning on taking us? What're you talking about, Tsume? What kind of trap are you planning to lead us into this time? I saw them.
I saw all those wolves that had been stuffed and mounted.
Where's your collar? That thing was just a number.
Then explain how you managed to waltz in here! Did you lure us here into this keep? I don't know.
Yeah, right! You were the Nobles' dog, and you helped them kill your own kind! Then go ahead and kill me! Right now! Please, I mean it.
Cut that out! That doesn't sound like you at all, Hige! Sound like me? What's that mean, "like me"? I don't know who the real me is.
I know who Hige is.
He's funny and nice, and kind of irresponsible.
But in a clinch, we can always count on him.
That's the Hige I know.
Things inside the keep are a little weird.
You guys can make it out if you hurry.
Where do you think you're going? There's something that I have to do.
Hige! Aren't you going? Shouldn't you go after them? T-Thanks Wolves, huh? The scents are back! Pops! Am I glad to see you! You'll catch your death of cold if you fall asleep in an alley like this.
Get off my case.
You're not from here, are you, old man? Where are you from? What's it to you? Just curious.
If you don't want to tell me, that's okay.
From Kyrios.
You know it? No, but the way I hear it, that town was torched and wiped out by some of Jaguara's forces that were chasing after some wolves.
That's a lie! Don't give me that crap! It's the truth.
I heard it from some soldiers.
Some wolves they were hunting just happened to run into Kyrios to hide.
So they burned it down.
That can't be true That's a load of crap! I saw them! I saw them with my own two eyes! Those wolves They killed Ruus! It wasn't wolves! You've got to believe me, Pops Blue! Blue This is our Paradise This is the world brought forth by the Moonstone? Goodbye, Kiba Cheza I think I'm going to wither.
Cheza! Don't! We Nobles are far, far from the world of our birth, and now we simply wait quietly for death.
If that is so, let us stop time as it is at this moment forever.
This is neither a place meant to pine for past that is already lost to us, nor a place meant to change the future.
A manufactured Paradise.
There is no future in such a place.
What about your grandfather? He kept searching for a Paradise meant only for us Nobles.
That man gave no thought to those left behind.
That is why he vanished.
And the clan was cursed A Paradise created from a cursed world is meaningless.
is meaningless.
Liar.
You always deceive yourself, never giving your heart over to the truth.
Even when the Paradise you have longed for is right before your eyes.
It is meaningless.
Is it because of Hamona? You have long known who it is for, don't you? That eye Your blood They long for Paradise.
- You're wrong.
- You're wrong.
- This isn't Paradise.
- This isn't Paradise.
Who's there? Who are you? It can't be! A wolf? But why? - It's over.
- It's over.
Paradise has been closed.
This is the end of everything The world is dying.
Cheza! Cheza! Cheza? Cheza! Yes Yes.
I saw it, too.
But that wasn't it.
It'll be all right.
I know they'll come.
It'll be all right Why? I did it all for you Why? Why won't you love me?! I love you.
It's all right.
Come with me.
Come to Paradise.
Stop that! That's right.
That dagger was poisoned.
My sweet little death dealer.
You will be mine.
Forever.
Don't interfere! Hige! Kiba You What are you doing here?! We're taking back our Paradise! Hige! I Don't move! I said I'd make things right Hige! That's enough! I gave my word! I'll take all your power! That's impossible Darcia As I suspected, you are the chosen wolf.
What are you? You're not a wolf, and you're not a Noble.
I was chosen.
Now I understand.
It is not merely that my people seek Paradise.
Paradise calls out to us, as well.
Next Time Next Time All things must come to an end.
All things must come to an end.
I suppose even my ebullient youth and supple skin will fade away one day, won't they? Life can be cruel.
But it's not over yet! Where the Soul Goes But it's not over yet! Where the Soul Goes
