Trigun Stampede (2023–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Hungry! - full transcript
Vash and the reporters come across an enigmatic, cross-wielding man named Nicholas D. Wolfwood. They are forced to work together after being eaten by a giant desert creature.
They really are best when they're fresh.
Just once, I'd like to try
a Plant meal, though.
Since when can you afford it?
Still, the Worms were
especially aggressive today.
What's wrong with that guy?
Wearing a suit in the desert?
I can guarantee he'll be dead soon.
No doubt about it. He even has
a grave marker on his back.
It's been three days since
the tragedy in Jeneora Rock.
The fugitive Vash the Stampede...
How can he sleep so well?
...is suspected to be involved.
According to witnesses, he may have
a man and woman as accomplices.
Military Police in the seven cities
are currently looking for them.
Now we're criminals, too?
We'll get sacked for sure
if the company finds out.
Meanwhile, in the seven cities...
He said he didn't want his share.
But yesterday...
He hasn't eaten a thing since that day.
Only god knows what's on his mind.
Is that a sandstorm?
No, those are...
Worms.
Wild Worms are a valuable
source of protein around here.
The taste is okay if you
can ignore the looks.
But it's the looks that matter the most.
Are you okay?
I won't let you die.
Excuse me, someone is injured!
Looks like we're too late.
They even struck in this place...
"They"?
Our Father, who art in heaven...
Forgive us our sins, as we forgive
those who sin against us.
Give us grace to entrust
our fallen brothers and sisters
and bring us all to...
What comes next?
Bring us all to...
To be seated at your table...
No, they ain't having dinner.
Bring us all your trappings...
No, they ain't playing dress-up.
Bring you your servants...
What servants, idiot?
Are you really a priest?
No, I just do funerals.
Okay, step back.
Show some respect for the dead.
In the first place,
what the heck is with that cross?
It's way too big.
Keep your dirty hands off it.
Both of you...
You must be hungry.
It's good, I mean it.
It's best to leave him...
I was just like him.
My parents died
and I grew up in an orphanage.
Good, ain't it?
No matter how heavy
the cross you're carrying,
it's always okay to fill
your stomach and have a laugh.
20,000 dollars!
You might as well rob us!
You asked for a service
without hearin' the price, dork.
What? You volunteered, didn't you?
I ain't done no such thing.
Don't play dumb with me!
-Shut up, already!
-Is it done?
I will never pay such an
unreasonable price.
-What the hell is this crap?
-Just shut your mouth.
Just pay me my money!
So, how are your injuries from that crash?
You look pretty lively to me.
Survival's my calling card.
An earthquake?
No, it's...
A Grand Worm!
Damn it...
Are you kidding me?!
Are you okay?
Yeah, thanks.
It's so humid in here.
Watch your step.
Get off!
Wait... Look!
Are they resonating?
So it's true that Worms are
connected to each other.
It's a detached electronic network.
The bigger the body,
the more electrons it possesses.
This Worm is probably
the heart of this area.
Which means?
It's the boss of the place.
Hey, what are you...
Wait a second!
Which hole did he go in?
Kids are lucky to be so lightweight.
Why don't you put down that cross, then?
It's a precious tool of my trade.
How can I make a living without it?
-We need to hurry.
-Let's separate then.
Spiky Head will go in the farthest one.
Spiky Head?
And Shortie will go in the next one.
The name's Meryl Stryfe.
Drunk Guy will go that way.
And I'll go this way.
-Why are you giving...
-Because we're running out of time.
This is unacceptable.
How can we go in separate ways
without knowing what's ahead?
Not... Not a soul here, right?
Are you okay?
Thank god.
No use. I can't find anyone in there.
Me neither.
That's enough.
We'll all be dead
if we don't find the exit.
I'm sure both of them are okay.
I'll find them and get them out.
Even if it means you die?
Self-sacrifice...
You're an odd guy.
You only have one life to live.
Even if it means others die,
you've gotta save yourself.
Otherwise you ain't gonna survive.
Be careful, Stampede.
He'll eat the same food to put your
guard down, but poison what he gives us.
Assassins do it all the time.
Our company isn't much to brag about, but
we do have a great information network.
I've heard stories about people
who can control Worms.
You think I'm one of them?
I wish I could, dork.
But I got eaten just like you.
Then why don't you let me have a look
at that cross you cherish so much?
If that's a joke, I ain't laughin'.
From what I've seen,
it's a bit too heavy for a prop.
Why don't you let me have a look inside?
Make me, then.
Do it with that useless Derringer.
Come on.
Okay. That's enough.
Stampede, he's a man who can
kill with a smile on his face.
No, he's not that type.
What makes you say that?
I can tell from his eyes.
You throw me off my game.
Told you.
Roberto?
Meryl!
Roberto!
It's no use. They're all digested already.
There were loads of bones on the way.
That means it can't fully digest its food.
But we've seen no sign
of them, not even bones.
Meaning?
It's too soon to give up.
What then?
How long do you plan to wander in circles?
Let's see...
Maybe it's not them who got lost.
Maybe it's us.
Cut it out, you're scaring me.
So that was its nostril.
Hey! Are you okay?
The Worm was snorting!
That's the biggest one I've ever seen.
Run! You two! Behind you...
-Watch out!
-Hurry up!
Hey, dumbass!
You want to risk your life again?
You might not be so lucky next time.
Just run.
-You're out of your mind!
-You'll get killed!
-Run!
-Now!
Idiot!
It's you.
You're okay, now.
Ain't you a bit too careless?
You only met me today,
but you've had your back
to me so many times.
And yet, you didn't shoot me.
That mosquito noise...
It was you controlling the Worms.
How strange...
Normal people shouldn't
be able to hear that noise.
It's quite impressive
that you figured it out.
Did you kill that couple, too?
When humans see a child with adults,
they always assume they are family.
Where are Meryl and Roberto?
You came back for them?
I don't get you at all.
Did it never occur to you
that you could die too?
Give them back!
If you really want to know
where they are, force it out of me.
Dammit...
You still have your back to me.
Eat this.
Dirty bug!
Who are you...
I just do funerals.
See you next time.
If you can get out
of here in one piece, that is.
Stop!
I won't let you go.
You dirty bug.
You see, I'm a sore loser.
The fresh ones are the best, right?
What? You feel sick again?
No, I'm fine, thanks to you.
-I heard that you saved us. Thank you...
-Eat up.
I'm good.
You'll die if you don't. Chow down!
Come on, eat!
-Just eat it.
-Hey, why are you...
I see. There's a machine gun
inside the cross, eh?
No wonder it's so heavy.
I was right about him, wasn't I?
But he's the reason we're still alive.
You even show gratitude
for a bad guy's whims, huh?
You're beyond naive.
I hear that a lot.
Then do something about it.
Come on, already. Just eat it!
I will not!
You can't afford to be picky!
I'm not picky!
So what are you, then?
Mr. Vash...
"It's always okay to fill
your stomach and have a laugh."
Right?
I'm Nicholas D. Wolfwood.
I'm Vash the Stam...
Spiky Head, it is.
Spiky Head?
Okay. Let's get ready to leave.
Are you coming with us?
I think I'm needed here.
Seems to be some dangerous
people you're dealing with.
We'll be just fine.
I can give you a discount.
We don't need your help!
Why don't you ask him
why he's charging us?
Say something, Roberto!
Well, we're the ones following
Vash around.
That's different!
Who knew...
the Drunk Guy is much more reasonable.
Can I have one?
I didn't say yes.
You can spare that much.
No, we can't spare
any further expenses.
-I wasn't talking to you.
-Look at the sky!
We're in the middle of...
It's beautiful.
And to think, they're all Worms.
You had to go and ruin it.
You went too far.
Were you trying to kill me too?
Zazie the Beast...
But you won their trust, didn't you?
Besides, you know all about
killing your companions.
Human lives mean nothing to you, right?
I can tell from your eyes.
Whatever.
I merely do my job.
No matter who I'm dealing with.
What Vash the Stampede manifested then
is the gate that will truly enable
access to higher dimensions.
However, that gate is locked.
Ethics and morals serve as its defenses.
Your brother is more human than anyone.
Well...
We just have to break it open.
Even if we have to break him.
Just once, I'd like to try
a Plant meal, though.
