Complete Script, S01 Episode 2
(Opening scenes recapping last episode’s events flash across the screen, a submarine approaches in deep waters)
Tessa: He’s having a tough time out there.
Kalinin: I believe it will give him some good experience.
Tessa: Good experience? Even though he returned to the safehouse chained to a chair with his firearms confiscated and after being physically assaulted by the mission objective and several other civilians?
Kalinin: Still within the allowable range Madam Captain.
Tessa: I guess it’ll be fine. Sergeant Major Mao and Sergeant Weber will be there to help him. But tell me Lt Commander, how long were we planning to leave them in Tokyo?
Kalinin: As long as it takes to eliminate the threat.
Tessa: Now that the weight of the mission has shifted to us, would I be correct in assuming that if we make our secondary objective we won’t need to post a guard for Kaname Chidori?
Kalinin: Yes. Not only Chidori, but all the other Whispered candidates will be safe as well.
Tessa: They’ll all be safe for a while, anyway.
Kalinin: [sighing] Yes. For a while.

Kyoko: So what got him to come running this time?
Kaname: Like I’d ever know. I was carrying this plaster sculpture for art and he just runs into me shouting something I can’t make out. Can you blame me for not knowing what he’s thinking?
Kyoko: There, there.
Sousuke: It was an accident. I slipped.
Kaname: Right. You just bumped into me. The sprinting and shouting had nothing to do with it. Look, do me a favor and shut up, ok?
____________________
Kurz: What’s the matter? You do something bad?
Sousuke: I thought I saw a terrorist attacking Miss Chidori in the hallway, but it turned out to be a plaster sculpture she had made for art class. She should be coming outside the school gate any minute now but I have to stay after and report to the teacher. Cover for me will ya.
Kurz: Hey I’m on it, so don’t waste your time worrying about it.
Sousuke: I’ll try.
Melissa: Sounds like you’re having a tough time adjusting. Trust me, you’re not the only one still getting used to changes. Huh? 980 yen? Ugh, these Tokyo prices are deadly. What is the deal? It’s just crab. We’re on an island. Canned freaking crab!? You hear me Kurz?

(Kaname and Kyoko laughing, coming down stairs. A girl hides in wait around the corner as they come down to scare them)
Kaname: Yeah, no kidding!
Maya: Boo!
Kyoko: [screams]
Kaname: [screams] Oh my gawd, Maya! You shouldn’t scare people like that!
Maya: [laughs] So I scared ya, huh?
Eri: Come on, let’s try to keep the halls quiet.
Kaname: Oh, sorry.
(Sousuke tries to divert off his running path with gun loaded, unsuccessful he falls down the stairs with Eri. Kyoko snaps a picture, Kaname sighs)
____________________
(In the teacher’s office)
Eri: I have never, ever had a new transfer student cause so many problems!
Sousuke: I’m very sorry, ma’am.
Eri: And another thing, you can not bring toys like these to school. I told you yesterday. Perhaps you’ve forgotten?
Sousuke: No, that gun is not a toy.
Eri: Oh enough already. I’m confiscating this one too, understood?
Kaname: So what’s with this hobby of yours? Do you just like taking pictures of weird or funny stuff?
Kyoko: Uh, I guess so.
Kaname: Ok. So why take pictures of that bozo?
Kyoko: Hm, I don’t know. As goofy as he is, watching him and the way he acts sorta brightens my day. It’s like a breath of fresh air.
Kaname: Huh?

Melissa: It seems our Angel has finally decided to go to sleep.
Sousuke: [snarling] Watch what you’re doing!
Kurz: I could say the same to you. Two days, man. You’ll be dead by the time you finish the mission! Lemme see your back, man. You know, you haven’t run into an enemy yet and in two days you’ve fallen down the stairs, broke a window, knocked over a bookcase in the library and generally taken massicism to a whole new level.
Sousuke: I’m trying to do my best.
Melissa: Sousuke’s pointman because he can do all those crazy stunts. Of course, you should know that by now. So laugh all you want, but it won’t be too funny if the terrorist attack and he isn’t running on all cylinders.
Kurz: We’re probably wasting our time. I doubt she’s even a real target.
Sousuke: Blind assumptions lead to trouble, you know.
Kurz: And rapid obsession leads to stitches. But, you’re a tough guy. [slaps Sousuke, goes to window] Kaname seems like your everyday, ordinary girl. I mean, sure, she’s pretty and everything but her background’s fairly normal. At least, if you compare it with our backgrounds.
Melissa: Yeah, teenage mercenaries aren’t exactly what you call normal.
Kurz: You have to wonder what good its doing the KGB to try to kidnap a regular high school student.

Gauron: Br, chilly isn’t it?
Guard: What did you say?
Gauron: Thank you Chief, it’s good to know the KGB employs men of understanding. That’s Mithril’s AS. Though I’m afraid none of your current models could match it in battle.
Colonel Smirnoff: Mithril?
Gauron: A secret mercenary agency that destroys illegal drug refineries and terrorist camps. In their spare time they defend nuclear weapons exports. Their equipment is roughly ten years ahead of the Americans and the Soviets. Their top brass also has a penchant for sorting out regional conflicts. You know, like champions of justice. Or something like that.
Colonel Smirnoff: So, this Mithril is the one disrupting my plans?
Gauron: My guess is they felt they couldn’t leave you alone. Once a breakthrough is made in these studies, the power balance of the entire world will be turned on its head. Bodies are much more difficult to come by these days.
Colonel Smirnoff: And you want an increase in pay.
Gauron: I’m not a communist. I’m just a simple businessman.
Gaurd: We’ve heard enough from you! There are plenty of agents in this country who can take your place. Maybe you should be thankful that the Chief hired you along, Chinaman.
Gauron: I’m afraid that I’m not actually of Chinese decent.
Gaurd: Who gives a damn!? We’ll send you to coal mines in the Orals, and turn your face black.
(Gunshots fired, Gaurd falls)
Gauron: Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get on to business. I believe we were talking about securing bodies for experiments on the Whispered. I’m thinking of kidnapping this girl. What do you think? Hm. Quite pretty, isn’t she?

Kaname: And that is why we need to decide very soon who going to be in charge of what during the school trip. Hey! Is anybody listening!?
Shintaro: Well of course we are.
Shota: Lets hurry it up and get it over with so we can go home.
Kaname: I can’t believe I actually wanted to become stupid class representative.
Kyoko: You hang in there Kaname!
Kaname: Thank you Kyoko. And since I figured the class meeting would dissolve into this anyway… Ah hah! I came totally prepared!
Tomomi: Oh, yeah. I remember seeing you run around with a memo during recess.
Kaname: Hm mm.
Shintaro: Good job, Kaname!
Kaname: Hm mm.
Shiori: A model student!
Kaname: Hm mm. Everyone just leave it to me!
Maya: Don’t you think she’s overdoing it a bit?
Shiori: Yeah, if she keeps this up she’s gonna be sick when it comes time for the trip.
Kaname: Hey, I can hear you!
Kyoko: Suddenly my best friend is acting so weird. If she weren’t so fanatical she might have a shot at being Miss Jindai High.
Kaname: K, please listen when I call your name.
Maya, Shiori, Kyoko: [together] She’s on a power trip!
Kaname: Takada and Tanabe will be in charge of meals.
Takada: Got it.
Tanabe: Right!
Kaname: Kaneda and Uchida, you’ve got luggage.
Kaneda: Me?
Uchida: I’m on luggage?
Kaname: In charge of communication Mori and Mukai.
Mori: Ok!
Mukai: Yeah, cool. I hear you.
Kaname: Sakamoto and Kudo are in charge of events.
Sakamoto: Aye Captain.
Kudo: Ok!
Kaname: And no one wanted garbage duty, so the only one left is Sousuke Sagara! Is something the matter Sousuke?
Sousuke: How come I get that job?
Kaname: Well, our long standing tradition at this school has been that the new comer handles all garbage duty.
Sousuke: If that’s the case, then I accept it.
Kaname: Good. Alright, are there any objections?
Everyone: No ma’am!
Kaname: Dismissed!
Kyoko: Good job, Kaname.
Kaname: Yes, I suppose.
Kyoko: Hm mm, well played.

Mayuko: That was so funny. Did you see Sousuke’s face?
Maya: He totally believed that stuff you made up about the new guy being trash bitch.
Mayuko: All the same, I still feel a little sorry for the guy.
Maya: Yeah, it was a bit of a shock coming from Miss Perfect here.
Kaname: I don’t know what the big problem is. I mean, Sousuke accepted the job, didn’t he? Would you mind telling me what you’re doing?
Kyoko: Hang on. There’s a grease stain from your fries that looks like Godzilla!
Sousuke: Ok, right now she’s talking with her friends at a humburger shop but she’s not by the window so I don’t think its likely that she’ll be attacked from outside.
Kurz: Hey, don’t sweat it. Take it easy, you gotta blend in.
Sousuke: But I am… taking it easy.
Kurz: Are you? What is it?
Sousuke: I’ve got a suspect. Suitcase at his feet. Keeps checking his watch.
Lady 2: Then what?
Lady 1: [indistinguishable answer]
Lady 2: Yeah, that’s what I do with my tazer.
Sousuke: It’s just like in the Anti-Terrorist Field Manual. Timebomb.
Kurz: A TIMEBOMB!? Wait, but this is a kidnapping, not an assassination Sousuke!
Sousuke: Uh oh.
Kurz: [sighing] What is it this time?
Sousuke: He stood up. He may have noticed me so stand by.
Lady 1: We’d better be getting back soon.
Kaname: Oh.
Sousuke: No way!
Kaname: I gotta to catch him.
Sousuke: Not good!
Kyoko: Oh! Sousuke!
Kurz: Gah, dammit Sousuke, what’s going on!?
Kaname: Sir, excuse me! Hey you! You left your briefcase here!
(Encounter with a truck)
Man in the Hat: OH! Oh no! My treasure! Oh, oh what a relief.
Kyoko: Kaname! Sousuke!
Kaname: Huh? … Sousuke, what are you… What are you doing here?
Sousuke: Just a coincidence.
Mayuko: Are both of you alright?
Sousuke: Well, no injuries on my part. And you Kaname?
Kaname: No. I think I’m ok.
Kyoko: I’m so glad.
Mayuko: Wow, you’re like a hero Sousuke.
Maya: I think it’s totally cool that your risked your life to save hers! Mayuko’s right.
Sousuke: I just did what I had to do under the circumstances, ma’am. It was meerly a matter of coincidence that I happened to be in the area.
Kyoko: Oh yeah, right.
Kaname: What. In. The. Hell!? Keep your hands off me, you PERVERT!

(trainride)
Kaname: What is the matter with you? Do you have some sort of grudge against me or what?
Sousuke: K-kaname. It’s just a coincidence.
Kaname: How can you just sit there and say that!? Doha Tragedy? This newspaper’s from 1994.
Sousuke: My reading selection should be none of your concern.
Kaname: Tell me why the Hell you keep following me everywhere I go!?
Sousuke: I honestly do not know where you are getting this idea that I am following you Miss Chidori. Are you a very self conscious person?
Kaname: I would have to be unconscious not to notice this level of harrassment! Speak to me directly if you have something to tell me.
Sousuke: Like I told you, it’s just a coincidence.
Kaname: You have the nerve to tell me this is a coincidence?
Sousuke: That’s right, its all coincidence.
Kaname: Very well then.
Sousuke: Hey wait!
Kaname: Bye bye Mister Pervert!

Kaname: Hey, Sousuke. Sousuke. Sousuke Sagara! Hey Sousuke, are you alright?
Sousuke: Yes. There’s nothing wrong with me.
Kaname: Nothing wrong with you? What were on Earth were you thinking back there?
Sousuke: I just wanted to get out at this station all of a sudden. It has nothing to do with you, ok?
Kaname: So you mean to tell me after all this time…
Sousuke: It’s still a coincidence.
Kaname: [sighing] Lemme guess. You’re chosing to sit here is also a coincidence.
Sousuke: Uh huh.
Kaname: [sighing] I can’t take this anymore. Hey Sousuke, I promise I won’t get angry, I just want a straight answer.
Sousuke: I take it you want to know what coincidence it was that brought me here.
Kaname: Yeah, yeah. I get it. Then as someone who also just, happened to be here can I ask you something?
Sousuke: What’s that?
Kaname: You’ve lived overseas for a long time, right? Were you like this at your other schools?
Sousuke: Yes. I enjoyed peaceful days like this one.
Kaname: Ok. But aren’t you sad to be away from your old friends?
Sousuke: No. We keep in touch through telephone and post, so I guess I’m not technically separated from them.
Kaname: You have a weird way of answering questions. Do you have a girl?
Sousuke: A girl?
Kaname: A girlfriend. A lover. Someone like that.
Sousuke: No, I … don’t any friends of that nature.
Kaname: Hm. Is that so?
Sousuke: According to my colleague- I mean, my friend. There’s no woman in the world who would be my girlfriend, even in the remotest corner of the tundra but I’ve never quite know what to make of some of the things that he says.
Kaname: [laughing] Your friend’s a funny guy, you know that?
Sousuke: You know what he means?
Kaname: Yeah. I mean, you are a bit of an odd bird, Sousuke.
Sousuke: Odd bird?
Kaname: You might even say, extremely odd. But maybe, even with that rare personality of yours, you just might find someone nice who’ll understand you.
Sousuke: You think so, huh? Someone. Nice. From what I can gather, you seem like a nice person.
Kaname: Uh, now wait a second. I wasn’t trying to be all serious or anything. Ew.
Sousuke: Very well, I will disregard what you said.
Kaname: Oh. You’re pretty weird all right. Make that really weird. Really, really weird.

Kurz: Oops. Whew. Oh boy.
Girl with Dog: I’m really sorry, sir. Fairy, what’s the matter with you?
Kurz: Did they notice me? Ah, well thank gawd. Damn, that was close. Sousuke’s got me doing too many things at once. Huh? I don’t believe it. There’s no reason for a grown man to litter.

Kyoko: So, what happened? Did anything good happen to you on the way home? Hm?
Kaname: No, nothing.
Kyoko: Nothing between you and Sousuke?
Kaname: Ah. Oh please Kyoko. Nothing could ever happen between me and that maniac. Hahaha, too funny.
Kyoko: Yes, yes. I keep forgetting. Hey, did you study for tomorrow’s test? It’s gonna be bright and early.
Kaname: Test? What test?
Kyoko: The kanji test. The teacher said she decides groups for the school trip based on our scores.
Kaname: I didn’t hear anything about that! Nothing!
Kyoko: Aw, Kaname. You’re ok.
Kaname: No I’m not ok!
