[00:05] Falco     Their love for poker is well known. [00:09] Falco     It will be a long night. [00:14] J     You aren't going to play poker? SIGN    Yakkara District Chief Baccarat SIGN    ACCA Yakkara District, Branch Chief Kino [00:18] B     Before we start, I'll give you this. [00:26] B     It's a cigarette from Yakkara. [00:29] B     It should be good. [00:32] B     Yakkara is a gambler who's     always chasing dreams. [00:36] B     We'll place our bets on you, [00:38] B     the one who should sit upon the throne. [00:42] J     That's a huge wager. [00:44] B     When you dream, dream big. [00:47] B     Wouldn't you agree? [02:23] M     I'm here. [02:29] Gro     When you became director-general [02:31] Gro     and stood here for the first time, [02:33] Gro     what were your thoughts? [02:34] M     Probably the same as yours, Chief Officer. [02:38] Gro     Were they? [02:40] Gro     When I saw the neat rows of staff     from each district branch, [02:45] Gro     I felt the need to further unify ACCA. [02:50] Gro     The uniforms seem to [02:52] Gro     symbolize the current organization itself. [02:58] Lilium     How fragmented... [03:06] Lilium     Each district's characteristics are important, [03:08] Lilium     but ACCA mustn't overemphasize them. [03:13] Lilium     What can be unified, should be. [03:16] Lilium     Weren't you thinking along the same     lines, Chief Officer Grossular? [03:22] Gro     ACCA could be said to symbolize     the nation's very order. [03:25] Gro     It needs to be strengthened. [03:28] Lilium     Worrisome rumors also never cease. [03:32] Gro     You mean about a coup? [03:34] Lilium     It won't be long until Prince Schwan     will ascend the throne. [03:39] Lilium     Self-preservation instincts have     been roused in every district. [03:44] Lilium     A coup d'état will occur. [03:47] Lilium     There is no doubt. [03:49] Lilium     I am all for it. [03:51] Lilium     However, it shouldn't be     to preserve the districts. [03:54] Lilium     But to preserve order and     the lives of the citizenry. [03:58] Lilium     If ACCA leads the coup,     that will be possible. [04:02] Gro     Won't that be a difficult feat? [04:05] Lilium     I don't hear you opposing my viewpoint, [04:08] Lilium     Chief Officer Grossular. [04:10] Lilium     That means we are of the same mind. [04:13] Lilium     Why don't we try a small ruse? [04:17] Gro     If ACCA can protect this nation, [04:22] Gro     I will agree to your proposal. [04:27] Lilium     The ruse is quite trivial, [04:30] Lilium     but it may prove effective. [04:32] Pine     The two of you really are such opposites. [04:36] Pastis     I doubt we shall ever have     a unanimous decision. [04:42] Lilium     I don't want to quash pro-coup     stirrings in the districts now. [04:45] Lilium     The Inspection Department is our concern     because they audit all the districts. [04:50] Lilium     If Jean Otus is of royal blood, [04:52] Lilium     the coup will gain the added justification     of putting him on the throne. [04:58] Lilium     Mauve is looking into the     coup d'état rumors. [05:01] Lilium     We must stop her. [05:03] Lilium     It'll be fine. [05:06] Lilium     You can do this, Chief Officer Grossular. [05:10] Lilium     There is nothing for you to worry about. [05:13] Lilium     Everything will go well... [05:17] M     You wish to speak with me     about the coup, correct? [05:24] M     If that is your decision, [05:27] M     I have no objection. [05:29] M     If that is the only way to protect     ACCA and this nation. [05:37] M     However, [05:38] M     we don't yet know if we will     be able to convince Otus [05:42] M     to join the coup. [05:47] Lilium     Thank you for coming all the way here. [05:50] Lilium     ACCA will lead the coup, Brother. [05:53] LilBro     Oh? [05:55] Lilium     This nation has begun to move     as our family desires. [05:59] Lilium     So that our Furawau District will     obtain everything in its grasp. [06:07] Moz     Assorted cookies from Hachikuma! [06:10] Atri     I've brought... [06:11] Atri     butter cake! [06:15] Knot     Where's the chief? [06:17] Keri     With the rain, maybe he's running late. [06:20] Atri     Agent Rail, you don't have a sweet tooth? [06:23] R     It isn't that. [06:24] Moz     Hey, I know you're a good person     at heart, so a word of advice. [06:27] Atri     If you want to keep working at ACCA, [06:30] Atri     it's now or never to turn over a new leaf. [06:32] R     Huh? [06:33] Moz     Internal Affairs may have an eye on you, [06:36] Moz     you know? [06:37] Keri     If this doesn't ring any bells, it's fine. [06:42] Keri     Lotta, isn't the uniform of     the Bādon Branch cool? [06:46] L     Yeah. [06:47] Moz     Especially the police uniform! [06:50] L     It's really cool! [06:51] Atri     By the way, Lotta, do you     have someone you like? [06:54] L     Not right now, I guess... [06:57] Keri     You mean you used to?     What was he like? [06:59] L     More someone I looked up     to than someone I liked. [07:02] L     A friend of my brother's. [07:04] Atri     Tell us more! [07:06] R     Maybe she means that blue-haired dude. [07:10] Owl     Yes, [07:11] Owl     I doubt that was the end of it, either. [07:15] Owl     Stay vigilant. [07:17] Owl     The Dōwā family's involvement     is unfortunate, [07:20] Owl     but don't let it affect how you     handle things. Very well. [07:25] Owl     Pranetta's next, eh? SIGN    Pranetta District [07:29] J     Yeah, my bus just reached the border. [07:33] J     I hear people are inviting you     to stuff everywhere, Lotta? [07:36] L     Yeah, we couldn't do a barbecue     because of the rain today, [07:40] L     so I hosted a dessert party at our place. [07:43] J     I see. [07:45] J     It's bone dry here... [07:48] L     Be careful. [07:51] J     Okay. [07:56] Ro     Deputy Chief, thank you     for coming out here. [07:59] J     Hmm? SIGN    ACCA Inspection Department     Pranetta Branch Supervisor     Rocksterra [08:00] Ro     I adjusted my uniform to the locale. [08:06] Ro     I have a message from the branch chief. [08:08] Ro     Unlike other districts, [08:10] Ro     we have no special welcome     for you, Deputy Chief. [08:15] Ro     The district chief agrees. [08:18] Ro     We understand it may be disrespectful     toward one of royal blood. [08:22] Ro     But this is how Pranetta operates. [08:25] Ro     Please get in. [08:27] Ro     We have water, [08:28] Ro     but please drink sparingly. [08:30] Ro     It's a scarce resource. [08:51] J     Down here is much better than up there. [08:56] Ro     Let's drop your baggage off [08:58] Ro     before we start the rounds. [09:03] J     Here? [09:05] Ro     We apologize that we can't     provide actual lodging. [09:07] Ro     This is our night duty room. [09:09] Ro     You'll find everything you need there. [09:11] J     A big group in town or something? [09:14] Ro     They're filming a drama series, [09:16] Ro     so the film crew has booked     all the nearby lodgings. [09:19] J     Huh... [09:21] J     I thought he wouldn't be able to     follow me all the way out here, [09:26] J     but I bet he's watching from somewhere. [09:31] Staff     Deputy Chief, thank you for coming. [09:34] J     Thanks. [09:35] Staff     I retrieved all the reports from yesterday. [09:38] Staff     I'll input them now. [09:40] Ro     Thanks. [09:43] Ro     We should also get going. [09:45] Ro     Where would you like to go first? [09:47] J     For this district, [09:49] J     I think going in order is best. [09:51] Ro     Then, let's start at the north     sector and go clockwise. [09:54] J     Okay. [09:59] Ro     Are you already done? [10:01] J     Yeah, there aren't any issues. [10:04] J     This district is pretty problem-free. [10:06] Ro     Yes, it gives us an easy time of it. [10:10] Ro     And he should be done entering     the reports into the system. [10:13] Ro     I'm going back to send them. [10:16] J     I'll come with you. [10:21] J     Four o'clock, huh? [10:23] J     The bells are handy... [10:26] Ro     This place makes you lose track of time. [10:30] Ro     But it is different from living in sunlight. [10:35] Ro     This is a hard place to live, really. [10:37] Ro     Basically, TV is our only entertainment. [10:40] J     But no one looks down on it. [10:43] J     Especially around this time,     when the guys come back [10:46] J     from the excavation sites. [10:49] Ro     They're chasing a dream, after all. [10:54] J     It's inconvenient that you can't     send reports from here. [10:58] J     If only you could set up an antenna... [11:02] Ro     The signal could interfere with     TV broadcasts, you see. [11:05] Ro     We can't disturb the sole     source of entertainment [11:08] Ro     for district citizens, just for our convenience. [11:12] H     But it does help you get exercise. [11:16] H     When I was at the Jumōku Branch,     I gained a ton of weight. [11:18] H     But I lost it all after I came here. [11:22] Ro     Please ensure that, after Jumōku, [11:25] Ro     Agent Koruri is assigned here, too. [11:28] J     I'll talk to the department chief. [11:33] H     The signal is bad today. [11:36] Ro     Should we try another spot? [11:38] H     It might be better in the east. [11:43] Ro     A storm may be coming. [11:51] J     You can't see anything... [11:54] Ro     Nothing we can do. [11:56] Ro     Looks like it'll take time,     so let's have dinner. [12:01] Ro     But I'm afraid it'll have to     be emergency rations. [12:04] J     I haven't had hardtack in ages. [12:07] Ro     I'm sorry we're making you eat this. [12:12] J     It's fine. [12:13] J     You seem to be worried     about offending me. [12:17] J     But I'm just like you guys. [12:23] J     This is good! [12:25] J     Can I open the pistachios, too? [12:27] H     You like nuts, Deputy Chief? [12:30] H     We have snacks today, too... [12:31] H     Popcorn from Jumōku! [12:33] H     Caramel and cheese! [12:36] J     They say it's hard to live     in Pranetta or Suitsu, [12:41] J     but Pranetta is different from Suitsu. [12:44] J     People and goods freely come and go. [12:48] Ro     While Suitsu has a wide gap between     nobility and commoners, [12:51] Ro     the district itself is not impoverished. [12:54] Ro     The administration is the problem. [12:56] Ro     Pranetta is actually poor. [12:59] Ro     Although the district is vast,     no crops can grow, [13:02] Ro     and we have limited goods. [13:05] Ro     But the district residents choose     to pursue their dreams [13:09] Ro     over material improvements. [13:13] J     You mean the mining industry. [13:16] Ro     Yes. [13:17] Ro     They allocate the majority of the budget     from the central council for that. [13:22] Ro     There haven't been any huge finds. [13:25] Ro     Perhaps nothing really is there. [13:28] Ro     But the district residents still     haven't given up, [13:30] Ro     and no one complains about     the administration. [13:34] Ro     That's the difference between     here and Suitsu. [13:37] Ro     The only discomfort Pranetta citizens     feel from living underground [13:41] Ro     is that they don't live under the sky. [13:49] Ro     I'm glad the storm subsided     faster than expected. [13:54] J     Huh? [13:55] J     I hear a noise outside. [13:57] J     I wonder if they're filming. [13:59] Ro     No, it's residents. [14:02] Ro     This time of day is comfortable     enough to go above ground, [14:04] Ro     so they're enjoying the outside air. [14:08] Poll     Hi, Agent Otus... [14:11] Poll     Thank you for coming all the way out here. [14:13] J     It's been a while, Branch Chief. [14:16] Poll     How about it? [14:17] Poll     Walk with me to enjoy the dusk? [14:20] J     Certainly. [14:24] Poll     District Chief, [14:25] Poll     everyone from the Inspection     Department is back, safe and sound. [14:28] Kid     Here you go. [14:29] J     Thanks. [14:31] DC     The storm must have made things tough. [14:34] J     Yes, [14:35] J     this place is really something. [14:39] J     But everyone looks so cheerful. [14:45] DC     Do you have any cigarettes? [14:47] J     Yes. [14:48] DC     May I have one? [14:50] J     Of course. [14:52] J     Please. [14:58] DC     Our lives will probably remain the same, [15:02] DC     regardless of the coup's success. [15:06] DC     Unlike other districts,     we have nothing to protect. [15:10] DC     That is why Pranetta chose not     to participate in the coup. [15:15] DC     But when we told her that, she said that, [15:19] DC     should we chance upon underground     resources and become wealthy, [15:23] DC     there could be war. [15:27] DC     That is, if ACCA [15:29] DC     dissolved with this nation's order. [15:32] DC     While insisting that we pursue dreams, [15:35] DC     we must have never thought     we'd ever realize them. [15:39] DC     After all, we never considered     what would happen if we did. [15:42] DC     Instead of Prince Schwan,     who wishes to terminate ACCA, [15:46] DC     we will support you, the one     with ACCA, for the throne. [15:50] DC     That's what the coup is for, isn't it? [15:54] DC     If so, we haven't much to offer, [15:58] DC     but here is a cigarette. [16:03] Ro     I hope the district residents [16:06] Ro     can someday lead lives that let them     see the sky when they want, [16:10] Ro     but look as cheerful as they do now. [16:14] Ro     Deputy Chief, [16:16] Ro     what will you do? [16:21] J     I wonder... [16:25] O     You must be tired from the trip, Jean. [16:27] O     When is the next one? [16:30] J     Two days from now. [16:31] O     Oh, right... [16:32] O     You have to finish everything [16:35] O     before the centennial ceremony. [16:38] J     It's all good. [16:39] J     It seems the ceremony     will be pretty grand. [16:41] O     Yes. [16:42] J     The king will attend, as well. [16:45] O     That reminds me, Jean. [16:47] O     When you get home, make time     to talk to Miss Lotta. [16:51] O     Though you may often talk, [16:54] O     without my having to say such things. [16:57] J     Has something happened? [17:04] L     You're okay with herbal tea, aren't you? [17:06] J     Thanks. [17:10] J     Can you tell me what happened [17:13] J     while I was gone? [17:16] L     Okay. [17:22] M     Today, of all days, I suppose     he wouldn't come. [17:24] M     If he reports in, it'll be tomorrow. [17:29] Poch     Director-General... [17:30] M     Oh, hello. [17:31] Poch     What a coincidence. [17:32] Poch     Well, I'm totally addicted to     the sandwich bread here. [17:37] Poch     Oh, this is new. [17:40] Staff     Please try it. [17:42] Poch     Delicious! [17:43] Poch     I'll have some of this. [17:44] Poch     This one is new, too... [17:48] M     It's me. [17:50] M     Understood. [17:51] M     I'll be right there. [17:53] Poch     An emergency? [17:54] M     Yes. [17:55] M     ACCA command is in uproar tonight. [18:01] J     I see. [18:03] J     That must have been scary. [18:05] J     I'm sorry I couldn't be here. [18:07] L     No, it isn't your fault. [18:10] L     You had work. [18:13] J     I'm glad you're okay. [18:15] J     I'll have to thank the department chief. [18:18] J     And Agent Rail, too. [18:20] L     Jean, [18:22] L     was Mom royalty? [18:26] J     Apparently. [18:27] J     I only heard recently, too. [18:30] J     From Nino. [18:32] J     Lotta, [18:33] J     Nino serves Dōwā's royal family. [18:37] J     He's been watching over us [18:39] J     under orders from the Privy     Council president. [18:43] L     I see. [18:44] L     Actually, I was thinking there     was something up with him. [18:48] L     You know, I once told him that     I was going to marry him. [18:53] L     A really long time ago. [18:54] L     But then, Nino got all serious [18:59] L     and said he couldn't do that... [19:02] L     Even though I was just a kid, I knew     there was something up with him. [19:08] L     So I'm not surprised. [19:09] L     Even though we know the truth, [19:11] L     it won't change things with Nino, will it? [19:16] J     I'm not sure about that... [19:19] J     Let's go out to eat. [19:21] L     Okay, I'll get ready. [19:26] News     We interrupt this broadcast [19:27] News     to bring you a special news bulletin.

[20:15] Spade     And that idiot prince may     ascend the throne. [20:17] Pastic     Oh? [20:18] Pastic     Wouldn't we trigger the     coup d'état before that? [20:21] Spade     But we have limited time. [20:24] Spade     Before we can refine the plan, [20:26] Spade     we must deal with ACCA's     centennial ceremony. [20:30] Spade     Important figures will arrive     from every district. [20:33] Spade     We can't change our plans now. [20:36] Spade     We can only pray that     His Majesty pulls through.
