Dead Mount Death Play (2023): Season 1, Episode 3 - The Necromancer - full transcript

Ah… I can indeed see
what look like skeletons at the window.

Although they are hidden in the smoke,
we can vaguely see huge bones.

It's great the children
ended up being saved, but…

Wow, amazing!

Something like this
actually happened yesterday?

I guess monsters really do exist!

Yeah.

I didn't expect that
this would actually happen around me.

Hey, Misaki.

Are you really okay
being with the person who killed you?

Yeah, I had never been killed before.



My heart is racing, so I'm fine with it.

Right, you were never
quite right in the head.

But also,

Clarissa's the owner
of this building too, huh?

Excuse me.

I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble.

Thank you very much for your help.

To be honest,
I know almost nothing about this world.

That's fine and all…

but are you really planning to live here?

THE BUILDING OF TORTURE

Although you were reincarnated,

the body has
a family it belongs to, right?

What will you do?



The owner of this body seems to be
on summer vacation now.

I decided to tell Polka Shinoyama's family

that I embarked on a journey
to find myself as an excuse.

Clarissa said all I need to do is
send a postcard regularly.

So you're just misleading them
about the time of death?

But what should I do
after summer vacation is over?

The only thing I know about
the family members is their names.

Can't you extract things like memories
from that brain?

Language is learned through repetition,
so it's easy to bring out,

but the older the memory,
the harder it is to remember.

Moreover…

his final memory left
too strong of an impression.

However, speaking of the other world,

after seeing those bone monsters,
I couldn't help but believe it.

I still can't say for sure
if it's really another world.

After all, there are similarities.

For example, this creature called a whale…

In my world,
it is recorded as a legendary beast.

But what's important to me

is whether the Geldwood Church
exists in this world.

Geld… What?

A group of people
who see me as an evil being

and have tried to destroy me.

In my original world,
I was a huge skeletal monster.

Ah… that one.

What was your name in that world?

Well… in the language of this country,

it would be "Dead Body Shrine"… No…

It would be "Corpse God."

"Corpse God"… What a cool name!

Is that so?

I am finally able to live a peaceful life.

The only thing left to do

is to be persuasive to the client
who wanted to kill Polka.

Just so you know,
neither Misaki nor I know their identity.

Did Clarissa not tell you?

She did not.

She asked for confidentiality
in exchange for using this floor for free.

Forcing her to talk
would be a last resort.

I'll try to figure it out on my own first.

Clarissa also said that

she will not accept
any more commissions to kill me.

You believe everything she says?

Clarissa isn't the only
middleman for assassins.

Well, I doubt many people would be
able to kill someone as strong as you.

Other than Lemmings, anyway.

"Lemmings"?

Oh, don't worry about it.

On another note…

Hey, this is really amazing.

How does it move?

Coin batteries?

Are you really okay being with
the person who killed you too?

I mean, it wasn't me who was killed.

Is it really a good idea
to revive such a dangerous person?

Well, since the owner of this body,
Polka, is telling me to forgive her,

I'm sure it's fine.

Have you talked to Polka's soul?

What do you mean by talk?
He's right there.

My drone that stopped working yesterday!

Polka's soul still lingered in this body,

so I transferred it into something nearby.

Can it borrow your drone
until a new host is found?

Well…

Putting that aside,

you can't treat people's souls
like dress-up dolls--

I won't deny that I consider
human life to be like toys and dolls.

This guy is really dangerous.

He truly regards
human life as a plaything.

I absolutely cannot let my guard down.

Next, in order to live a peaceful life,

I need to earn money quickly.

Are there any jobs I can do in this world?

You could kill people
or rob them on the road.

I'm not very good at assassination.

Since you can kill me,
it should be easy for you.

I see.

Don't be ridiculous.

And a guest has arrived,
probably for Misaki.

Huh? For me?

You're the assassin Zaki, right?

If I don't do something,
I'll be killed by another assassin.

Can you help me?

I'm not too sure.

I'm already on another job.

Please, if you don't help me…

I understand.

I accept this commission.

Hey kid, did you hear
our conversation just now?

Okay, since Polka said it's okay,
I'll take on your commission.

What is that guy thinking?

According to the intelligence dealer,

they should all be asleep just past there.

These assassins sure are careless.

They were the partners of Jimba,
who you killed.

Rather than being assassins,

they're a group of insane guys
who'd kill a target's entire family.

That old man's…

An ambush?

Hey, you guys sure are weak for assassins.

That's because we're not assassins.

Even so, our boss was killed by you.

So it's really embarrassing for us.

Hey, send her on her way.

Oh, I see now.

You were here too?

I was the one who took on your commission.

What did you say?

You should disappear with Zaki too!

By the way, I forgot to tell you that…

Misaki has turned into a zombie.

A small injury won't kill her,

and she should be
much stronger than before.

What the hell are you?

Can you hear me, Polka?

Um, what was the phrase? "Hello"?

Did you know it was a trap beforehand?

No…

I simply accepted a commission…

A commission made by
the children who are haunting this man.

Amazing!

What is this? I'm having so much fun!

Wh-What's going on?

Let go of me, you brats.

They can no longer harm anyone,

whether it's your father or your mother.

Mom… Dad…

Sorry.

This isn't just about saving them.

I was partially just venting my emotions.

So I don't need any reward.

The gunshot wounds really healed up.

I'm really not human anymore.

But my senses aren't as sharp.

It's the first time
someone shot me from behind.

Do girls in this world
just casually take off their clothes?

Hey Polka…

why did you want to help
those deceased children

fulfill their wishes?

Isn't life just a toy for you?

It's true that ultimately,
human life becomes someone's toy.

But I like toys…

because they can make children laugh.

So how could I not value it?

That's why I could never let them
suffer from a tragic fate.

Oh, now I see.

The difference between his values
and ours wasn't about life,

but rather about toys.

No wonder I couldn't understand him.

Polka can indeed be considered
a dangerous person.

Anyway, this time, you have to die.

If not, we, the collection agency,
won't be able to get paid.

Misaki and I are probably
even worse than he is.

Oh, sorry about what I said.

Let's just be casual here.

If we count your past life,
you should be older than me.

That's how things went.
It was a lot of trouble.

Is that so? Thanks, Takumi.

Huh?

I really don't plan to take on
any more commissions

to kill Polka Shinoyama.

And I really hated
their condescending attitude.

The ones who escaped today
won't be a problem either.

They seem to have made too many enemies.

Damn it, I'll never forgive that monster.

Take all the weapons in the warehouse.

Wh-What's going on?

Was it the monster from earlier?

Hey, don't joke around
at a time like this.

L-Lemmings…

No way. Isn't he just a made-up character?

Are vampires also just
creatures of folklore in this world?

Hey, did you have them over there?

I'm so jealous.

Vampires are very cool.

With magic, I could perhaps
make you evolve one day.

Is that true?

It really does feel like a game.

Is this a job change system?

I'm not sure how long I'll play house
with this monster and zombie…

but I'll just play along
with them for now.

It's a good distraction
from the boredom in my life.

POLKA SHINOYAMA
GAKU SHINOYAMA

Is that really okay, Clarissa?

What? Are you talking about Polka?

Can I take it that
you have a soft spot for him now?

He is very fond of children.

With that kind of weakness,
it's just easier to control him.

Aren't you also fond of children?

Clarissa, you have a phone call.

It's me.

What a bother.

I'm pretty sure
I explained this yesterday.

You're saying Polka Shinoyama
is just a high school student?

Don't be ridiculous.

I believed you, and one of our aces
ended up as a corpse.

I'd like us to take a break
from each other for a while.

Until Polka Shinoyama died once,

perhaps he was just
an ordinary high school student.

That's hard to say.

Right now, the most important thing is
that we have one less troublesome client.

Alright, let's celebrate.

It's been a while since
this city last made my heart flutter.

Be careful when choosing
your dance partner, Polka.

Please…

I already apologized to you.

I really don't have any money on me.

I didn't expect that a glass of beer
would cost 60,000 yen.

I heard that even more bars
with crazy prices have appeared here.

Yeah, apparently there's one
over on the fourth floor

of the building next to this.

Well, the prices are the same here too,
if I drink the good stuff.

By the way, where is Clarissa?

She's working the night shift today,
so she'll be here later.

That's unusual.

Did she have an emergency, or did
something happen yesterday or today?

Well,

I don't think anything happened.

The Shakuzawa Building fire yesterday

was a hot topic at my workplace too.

People saw skeletons there, you know?

But what's so scary about it?

Don't we all turn to skeletons
when we die?

They could've also been
wax corpses or mummies.

I prefer zombies.

Hey, I want to eat you alive.

Eliminate zombies… Smash their heads…

Touching waitresses here
is against the rules.

But what will happen to Misaki's body

after she turns into a zombie?

It hasn't been long since she was shot.

Her body can prevent decay
and repair itself,

so she won't be affected much.

It's just that
she has more strength than before,

and her senses might be duller.

If she suffers serious injuries,
she can recover by eating raw meat.

So, am I what you'd call
a carnivorous girl?

Awesome. Sounds cool.

You think so?

Additionally,

her saliva should have
a strong paralyzing effect.

I think my saliva
tastes sweeter than before.

One bite can temporarily
paralyze an opponent.

DROP

Polka!

-He was right.
-So what?!

How about a bite, Kurupon?

A playful bite from a girl.

It's like a kiss. Nice, right?

Shut up, materialistic woman!

Materialistic woman?!

I am the kind of man who can firmly say no

to conceited women who believe their kiss

is a reward for all men.

It's just as bad as men
who offer to date someone they just met.

Kurupon.

You are a monster born
from this modern society.

A monster.

Monsters…

Speaking of which,
do they exist in this world too?

Monsters with exceptional power

like the Calamity Crusher.

Was it really the sound of gunfire?

Not sure.

Since someone reported it,

we'll have to take a look.

What's that sound?

What's going on with these people?

So please say something already.

I'm lowering my head
and apologizing over here, aren't I?

Why are people calling me now?

I could have seen Clarissa
if I waited a little longer.

It really is unfortunate.

By the way,

is the world of Polka
also based on the decimal system?

Yes.

That must mean humans there
also have ten fingers.

Well, although there are
some individual differences,

most people have ten fingers.

Apparently having ten fingers is

just a guess as to why
we use the decimal system.

I'm surprised that you know.

But are we that alike,
even though we're from different worlds?

I wonder if the magic over there
would even have the same effect here.

That's true.

The world I once stayed in and this world

may be connected somewhere.

Otherwise,

there's too much that doesn't make sense.

Finally recovered from the numbness?

Yeah.

Now I have a skill
that lets me bite people.

Hitting them would be faster.

I can use this to immobilize my opponent.

Before, I used a nail gun to
pin them down on the ground,

but now I can save on nails.

So environmentally friendly.

That's right.

The more ways there are
to immobilize the opponents, the better.

You seem to have quite
a few ways to do that.

For example, you buried
those hooligans in the ground.

It's nice being able to
deal with corpses like that.

Huh? Those people are still alive.

But they have lost their sanity

and probably cannot
provide testimony anymore.

You're too impulsive.

Don't worry.

They won't be able to kill again.

Mr. Iwa, there's a strong smell
of alcohol on you.

Better than the smell of blood on you.

How did you get covered
in blood like that?

This was self-defense,
and I already apologized to them.

I thought they'd kill me.

Kill you?

So, what's all this?

I see.

Given this situation…

It's my first time
seeing human bodies tied up like this.

No wonder the Mobile
Investigation Team called us

before conducting their initial search.

As expected, this kind of thing
falls within our jurisdiction.

For this kind of supernatural event,
no other department is an expert.

So I guess that means
we've got work to do.

Lemmings.

The Grim Reaper.

The Fire-breathing Bug.

And now, another calamity has emerged.

It really gets my blood pumping.
