[00:07] Herschel
    Very good.
[00:08] Herschel
    No hemorrhaging or ischemia found.
[00:12] Herschel
    No major change in red blood
    cells, white blood cells,
[00:15] Herschel
    or hematocrit.
[00:17] Herschel
    But your pulse is a bit on the rapid side.
[00:19] Herschel
    Are you under any stress,
    Minnie C. Tachibana?
[00:23] Minnie
    Not especially.
[00:24] Herschel
    Tired of all these physical exams?
[00:28] Minnie
    No.
[00:29] Minnie
    My husband enjoyed physical exams, too.
[00:32] Minnie
    He said it was like being
    in an amusement park.
[00:36] Herschel
    Glad to hear it.
[00:38] Herschel
    Okay, next...
[00:42] Herschel
    One moment.
[00:48] Herschel
    Let's finish another time.
[00:51] Herschel
    Kito-san wants to see you.
[00:54] Minnie
    All right.

[02:39] Driver
    Is something wrong?
[02:41] Minnie
    No.
[02:41] Minnie
    Doesn't Mount Fuji look beautiful today?
[02:44] Driver
    Oh... It does.
[02:47] Minnie
    It's just like the day I first came here.
[02:51] Kito
    You know, to tell the truth,
    I was quite worried.
[02:55] Kito
    When I heard a former US Marine Corps
    second lieutenant was coming,
[02:58] Kito
    I expected someone scary...
[03:01] Kito
    I'm glad it ended up being someone
    like you, Tachibana-san.
[03:05] Minnie
    Please feel free to call me "Minnie C."
[03:07] Minnie
    That's how my husband introduced
    me to his friends and family.
[03:12] Kito
    I'll do that, then.
[03:15] Kito
    You look wonderful in a kimono, Minnie C.
[03:18] Kito
    Do you often visit Japan?
[03:21] Minnie
    No,
[03:22] Minnie
    I first saw Mount Fuji when I flew
    over it, on my honeymoon.
[03:26] Minnie
    My husband was so excited!
[03:28] Kito
    Oh?
[03:30] Minnie
    He loved Japanese culture
    more than anything,
[03:33] Minnie
    so when I wear a kimono,
    I feel as if he's near me.
[03:45] Minnie
    Do you see it, darling?
[03:47] Minnie
    Isn't it beautiful?
[03:55] Ichijo
    Here you go.
[04:01] Sana
    This is good.
[04:03] Sana
    I want more.
[04:04] Ichijo
    I'll go buy some more.
[04:06] Ichijo
    So your name is Sana-chan?
[04:10] Sana
    Are you the lady who talked to
    me at the research facility?
[04:13] Ichijo
    No, but we have met recently.
[04:17] Ichijo
    You don't remember?
[04:20] GuyA
    Pardon me.
[04:22] GuyA
    I was asked to handle the pigs.
[04:24] Ichiro
    Right, over here.
[04:26] Sana
    What will they do with them?
[04:28] Ichijo
    They'll be cared for at a special facility.
[04:31] Ichijo
    The people will probably do a few tests,
[04:34] Ichijo
    but they won't harm the pigs at all.
[04:36] Sana
    Tests?
[04:37] Ichijo
    Yes.
[04:39] Ichijo
    They're very special pigs created
    by your power, after all.
[04:42] Sana
    You know about me?
[04:45] Ichijo
    Yes.
[04:54] Sana
    Where did this pig come from?
[04:57] Ichijo
    Huh?
[04:58] Sana
    Well, it's alive, right?
[05:01] Sana
    What would happen if I used
    my power to get rid of it?
[05:07] Ichijo
    Do you want to do that?
[05:08] Sana
    Huh?
[05:19] Zoroku
    Yeah...
[05:21] Zoroku
    You know those long cylinders
    we always use, right?
[05:25] Zoroku
    Right, I'd like nine, if possible.
[05:28] Zoroku
    Can we do that?
[05:29] Zoroku
    Great, I'll send someone
    to get them now.
[05:33] Zoroku
    Thanks.
[05:35] Naito
    Cylinders? For the flowers?
[05:37] Naito
    The things like vases?
[05:38] Zoroku
    Yeah.
[05:39] Zoroku
    Hey, Chinatsu! Ichiro!
[05:41] Chinatsu
    Yes?
[05:43] Naito
    I never knew those were
    provided by the florist.
[05:46] Naito
    I'm no expert, but can't you
    use something else?
[05:49] Zoroku
    Everything's decided through
    advance discussion.
[05:52] Zoroku
    I can't just change things like that.
[05:55] Chinatsu
    What's up?
[05:57] Zoroku
    I need you to go to Sakaki-san's place
[05:59] Zoroku
    in Kokubunji and pick up the stuff listed.
[06:01] Chinatsu
    Got it.
[06:07] Ichijo
    Take care of them, okay?
[06:09] GuyB
    Just leave them to us.
[06:16] Ichijo
    How's it going on your end?
[06:17] Noriko
    Sorry, I'm still analyzing.
[06:20] Noriko
    This ability-user has a complex signal.
[06:23] Ichijo
    Sana-chan.
[06:24] Noriko
    Hmm?
[06:25] Ichijo
    Her name is Sana-chan.
[06:28] Noriko
    Roger.
[06:29] Noriko
    I'll keep analyzing Sana-chan's pattern!
[06:33] GuyB
    When I see them like this,
    pigs are pretty cute.
[06:36] GuyB
    Huh?
[06:37] GuyA
    What's wrong?
[06:38] GuyB
    Didn't you see one that
    looked a bit different?
[06:41] GuyA
    Was there one like that?
[06:43] GuyB
    Wasn't there?
[06:47] Zoroku
    I believe you have something
    to say to me.
[06:50] Zoroku
    Well?
[06:51] Sanae
    Let's apologize together.
    Okay, Sana-chan?
[06:56] Sana
    It wasn't on purpose.
[06:59] Zoroku
    I didn't ask if it was on purpose!
[07:02] Zoroku
    Shouldn't a simple apology
    come first? Huh?
[07:05] Sanae
    L-Listen, Grandpa...
[07:07] Sanae
    Sana-chan really didn't
    do it deliberately.
[07:10] Zoroku
    I realize that!
[07:12] Zoroku
    But whether she meant any harm,
[07:15] Zoroku
    the fact is that she did this.
[07:17] Zoroku
    I told you not to use weird
    powers anymore, right?
[07:21] Zoroku
    One wrong move, and "sorry"
    isn't gonna cut it anymore!
[07:24] Sana
    Bu—
[07:25] Zoroku
    Can't you even keep a promise?
[07:28] Zoroku
    Well?
[07:29] Sana
    B-B-But...
[07:31] Sana
    But it wasn't on purpose!
[07:35] Sana
    I wanna go to the research
    facility for my...
[07:38] Zoroku
    Hey, don't cry!
[07:39] Naito
    Now, now, now, old man!
[07:41] Naito
    Don't be so touchy all the time.
[07:44] Naito
    And toward a little girl, at your age.
[07:46] Zoroku
    Huh?
[07:49] Naito
    Little girl, my name's Naito Ryu.
[07:53] Naito
    I'm this scary old man's friend.
[07:56] Naito
    Know what "Ryu" means?
    It means "dragon."
[07:59] Naito
    Pretty cool, huh?
[08:02] Zoroku
    Hey, I'm not done—
[08:03] Naito
    Now, now, now...
[08:05] Naito
    You know,
[08:06] Naito
    I'm one of the guys who've been chasing
    the baddies who held you prisoner.
[08:11] Naito
    I'm on your side!
[08:14] Naito
    So it's also our job to make
    sure that you're kept safe.
[08:19] Naito
    And on that note, I have a favor to ask.
[08:22] Sana
    What?
[08:23] Naito
    We can't know when those guys
    will try to take you away again.
[08:28] Naito
    To be sure we always
    know where you are,
[08:31] Naito
    I'd like you to wear a homing device.
[08:33] Naito
    This thing.
[08:36] Naito
    Don't like it?
[08:37] Naito
    Then, how about this one?
[08:42] Sana
    You don't seem like a bad person, so...
[08:45] Sana
    Okay.
[08:46] Sanae
    I'll put it on for you.
[08:48] Naito
    Hear that?
[08:49] Naito
    I'm not a bad guy.
[08:51] Zoroku
    She said the same about me.
[08:54] Naito
    What, really?
[08:58] Ichijo
    I guess she likes it.
[09:00] Noriko
    Yeah.
[09:03] Sanae
    It looks good on you.
[09:07] Sana
    Sanae, I'm hungry!
[09:09] Sanae
    What?
[09:10] Sanae
    Already?
[09:11] Ichijo
    Shall I send someone
    to buy something?
[09:13] Sana
    Really?
[09:15] Sana
    I want that juice from before.
[09:16] Ichijo
    Very well.
[09:17] Sanae
    Good for you, Sana-chan!
[09:19] Sana
    Yeah.
[09:20] Sana
    You want some, too?
[09:21] Sanae
    Can I? Yay!
[09:23] Sana
    Just a little bit, though.
[09:25] Sanae
    Okay!
[09:33] Kito
    Oh, you're already there?
[09:36] Kito
    Thank you for moving so fast.
[09:39] Minnie
    I'll transfer to the car for
    the mission and stand by.
[09:43] Minnie
    Ready for your order anytime.
[09:45] Kito
    Roger.
[09:46] Kito
    Wait just a bit longer.
[09:48] Kito
    I'll talk to you soon.
[10:00] Kito
    Oh? What's this?
[10:09] Cleo
    Is that lady coming here?
[10:12] Kito
    You mean Minnie C?
[10:14] Kito
    She'll be nearby, but I don't
    think she'll join us.
[10:17] Cleo
    Okay.
[10:19] Cleo
    I don't like her.
[10:21] Kito
    But I think she's very nice.
[10:23] Kito
    She's always smiling.
[10:25] Cleo
    Isn't smiling all the time
[10:27] Cleo
    the same as never smiling?
[10:31] Kito
    You're very perceptive, Kureo.
[10:35] Kito
    Ah, in Iraq?
[10:38] Herschel
    Yes, while defusing a bomb.
[10:41] Herschel
    And after her husband died,
[10:43] Herschel
    she suffered from insomnia and was
    on the verge of being discharged.
[10:47] Herschel
    But then,
[10:49] Herschel
    after dreaming that her husband's
    arms were embracing her,
[10:52] Herschel
    her condition immediately stabilized.
[10:55] Kito
    And that's when she became
    a Dream of Alice?
[10:57] Herschel
    Precisely.
[10:59] Kito
    In any case, she's an intriguing sample.
[11:03] Kito
    There have been very few cases of
    a living being turning into a card.
[11:08] Kito
    Even if it's only one part of that being.
[11:28] Joe
    Listen, Minnie C.
[11:32] Minnie
    Yes?
[11:34] Joe
    Don't laugh, okay?
[11:36] Minnie
    I wouldn't do that.
[11:39] Joe
    I think I'm happier now than
    I've ever been in my life.
[11:45] Minnie
    Yes, I am, too.
[12:04] Minnie
    No.
[12:06] Joe
    This will sound silly.
[12:08] Joe
    But I never feared death until I met you,
[12:13] Joe
    Minnie C.
[12:23] Minnie
    Darling...
[12:26] Sana
    Yum!
[12:29] Ichijo
    You have some on you.
[12:31] Sanae
    Watching you is making
    me hungry, Sana-chan!
[12:36] Sanae
    Thank you! These are for me?
[12:38] Sana
    Yeah.
[12:39] Sana
    You want any?
[12:40] Ichijo
    I'm fine, thank you.
[12:42] Naito
    Sana-chan?
[12:44] Naito
    Are you interested in becoming a member of Zoroku-san's family?
[12:48] Zoroku
    Huh?
[12:55] Zoroku
    What the hell are you saying?!
[12:58] Naito
    Now, now, now...
[13:00] Naito
    I get it. You'd have to
    make arrangements!
[13:04] Naito
    Like tableware and futons—
[13:06] Zoroku
    That's not what I'm talking about!
[13:08] Zoroku
    The agreement was to take her to a safe
    place, where she'd be cared for!
[13:11] Naito
    Yeah, but just think about it...
[13:14] Naito
    This is a kid who gets into car races
    with supernatural powers in town.
[13:17] Naito
    Who else is gonna take her in?
[13:19] Zoroku
    Just what do you think I am?!
[13:21] Naito
    Briefly,
[13:22] Naito
    I want her to have a good,
    responsible guardian.
[13:26] Naito
    I'll personally arrange bodyguards
    and everything, of course.
[13:29] Zoroku
    You'd damn well better!
[13:31] Zoroku
    What I'm saying is—
[13:32] Naito
    Besides, old man,
[13:34] Naito
    what this girl needs is a family.
[13:37] Naito
    A warm home, where she can eat
    good food and sleep safely.
[13:41] Naito
    She's never known that kind
    of ordinary happiness.
[13:45] Zoroku
    Ordinary happiness?
[13:47] Zoroku
    That doesn't sound like you.
[13:49] Zoroku
    When you talk about stuff like that,
[13:51] Zoroku
    there's always an ulterior motive!
[13:53] Naito
    I've gotta hand it to you.
[13:55] Naito
    You know me well.
[13:56] Naito
    Still, just do this for me...
[13:58] Naito
    They want her to experience a normal
    lifestyle as soon as possible.
[14:03] Zoroku
    Who does?
[14:05] Naito
    Weren't you sort of considering
    this, anyway?
[14:08] Naito
    That's how you are. I know you.
[14:14] Sanae
    Sana-chan...
[14:15] Sanae
    If you ended up living with us,
    what would you do?
[14:19] Sana
    I don't know.
[14:20] Sana
    What about you?
[14:24] Sanae
    Let's see...
[14:25] Sanae
    I think I'd be kind of happy!
[14:30] Sana
    And you, Zoroku?
[14:33] Sana
    Do you not want me in your house?
[14:36] Zoroku
    Look, before we get to that,
[14:39] Zoroku
    you still haven't said something
    important to me.
[14:42] Zoroku
    I know there's something
    you want to say first.
[14:50] Sana
    B-Bathroom!
[14:51] Zoroku
    Huh?
[14:52] Sana
    I-It's true.
[14:53] Sana
    I gotta pee!
[14:55] Sanae
    You did drink a lot of juice.
[14:57] Sanae
    It's this way.
[14:59] Sanae
    Oh, wait, Sana-chan...
[15:01] Sanae
    Your hair will get in the way like that.
[15:06] Sanae
    Can you use the bathroom by yourself?
[15:08] Sana
    Don't mock me!
[15:09] Sana
    I can do anything.
[15:13] Sanae
    Okay, you're all set.
[15:24] Kito
    If you would, Minnie C.
[15:26] Minnie
    Right.
[15:27] Sana
    A member of Zoroku's family, huh?
[15:30] Sana
    I'd live in that house, huh?
[15:33] Sana
    What should I do?
[15:36] Sana
    Oh, yeah.
[15:37] Sana
    I'll apologize to Zoroku after this.
[15:39] Sana
    Guess I have no choice!
[15:41] Sana
    I guess I have no choice!
[15:46] Sanae
    Sana-chan, are you okay?
[15:49] Sanae
    Sana-chan?
[15:51] Sanae
    Sana-chan?
[15:54] Sanae
    Sana-chan?
[15:55] Sanae
    Sana-chan!
[15:56] Noriko
    Senpai!
[15:57] Noriko
    The transmitter's moving!
[16:02] Ichijo
    Yamada, where is she?
[16:03] Noriko
    Go 300 meters, turn right,
    and go another 500 meters!
[16:08] Zoroku
    What is this?
[16:10] Ichijo
    Naito-san!
[16:11] Naito
    Did you find her?
[16:13] Ichijo
    They got us!
[16:15] Ichijo
    They rewrote the toilet's location!
[16:28] Minnie
    When she's like this, she looks
    like an ordinary child.
[16:34] Minnie
    Well done, darling.
[16:37] Minnie
    Thanks for always being there.
[16:43] Noriko
    Ichijo-senpai, I have Sana-chan's signal!
[16:46] Ichijo
    You're sure?
[16:47] Noriko
    Yes.
[16:48] Noriko
    It's really weak,
[16:49] Noriko
    but the pattern is a match.
[16:50] Ichijo
    Where?
[16:51] Noriko
    I'm sorry.
[16:52] Noriko
    The system is still unstable,
[16:55] Noriko
    so I can't pinpoint it.
[16:56] Noriko
    The GPS was for this, but now...
[17:02] Noriko
    Senpai! Her signal's gone!
[17:04] Ichijo
    Contact Naito-san.
[17:05] Ichijo
    Check all area surveillance
    cameras at once!
[17:08] Noriko
    Roger!
[17:18] Sana
    What is this?
[17:19] Sana
    What's going on?
[17:22] Minnie
    Oh? You've already perked up,
[17:25] Minnie
    Red Queen?
[17:27] Minnie
    I'm shocked.
[17:29] Minnie
    We gave you enough to knock
    out an adult for half a day.
[17:33] Minnie
    Just what kind of monster are you?
[17:38] Minnie
    Do you know who I am?
[17:41] Minnie
    I am Minnie C. Tachibana.
[17:43] Minnie
    I've come from the research
    facility to collect you.
[17:51] Sana
    What is this?
[17:53] Sana
    What's happening?
[17:54] Sana
    I can't move!
[17:55] Minnie
    Being restrained by so much strength
    that you cannot move at all
[18:00] Minnie
    is a bit exciting, isn't it?
[18:03] Minnie
    In the military, I had that experience.
[18:07] Minnie
    That won't work.
[18:08] Minnie
    Don't worry.
[18:09] Minnie
    If you just stay quiet,
[18:12] Minnie
    we will arrive soon.
[18:14] Minnie
    Let's go home together.
[18:17] Minnie
    Wonderland?
[18:20] Kito
    Yes.
[18:22] Kito
    I want to show it to you.
[18:32] Kito
    Just what are the Dreams of Alice?
[18:34] Kito
    Perhaps, rather than a
    gift from the heavens,
[18:37] Kito
    they're actually an illness or a bug
    in the workings of this world.
[18:44] Kito
    That's what some people say.
[18:47] Kito
    What do you think?
[18:49] Minnie
    Who knows?
[18:50] Minnie
    To be honest, I don't think it matters.
[18:53] Minnie
    Even if they're demons,
[18:55] Minnie
    if they can be used for a purpose,
    it's human nature to do so.
[18:59] Minnie
    That is why I've come here.
[19:02] Kito
    That's great...
[19:04] Kito
    I feel the same.
[19:11] Kito
    What I'm about to show you
    is a clue to those demons.
[19:18] Kito
    Ten years ago,
[19:20] Kito
    part of the facility underground
    was rewritten into a mess,
[19:24] Kito
    and an impossibly huge space appeared.
[19:29] Minnie
    Is that a relay antenna?
[19:31] Kito
    We tried releasing drones to
    observe the space inside.
[19:35] Kito
    But it didn't work.
[19:37] Kito
    Anything in here that she
    dislikes is destroyed.
[19:42] Minnie
    "She"?
[19:43] Kito
    It seems that she won't
    harm humans, but...
[19:49] Kito
    Hey!
[19:50] Kito
    Where are you?
[19:51] Kito
    I've brought a visitor.
[19:53] Kito
    Turn on the light.
[19:57] Kito
    I need your data in order
[19:59] Kito
    to learn what she really is, Minnie C.
[20:07] Kito
    We call her
[20:09] Kito
    the Red Queen.
[20:17] Kito
    This ridiculous spectacle
[20:20] Kito
    is an inexhaustible collection of cards
    she's created from her Mirror Gate.
[20:26] Minnie
    But for Dreams of Alice, cards are...
[20:29] Kito
    Yes, each only has one.
[20:31] Kito
    And getting the power they
    want isn't guaranteed.
[20:36] Kito
    But she is extraordinary.
[20:39] Kito
    In this Wonderland, everything she
    wishes for becomes reality.
[20:45] Kito
    Anything she can imagine
[20:48] Kito
    can come true.
[20:52] Kito
    If you could obtain this
    power for yourself,
[20:55] Kito
    what would you wish for?
[21:03] Minnie
    I...
[21:11] Minnie
    I shall explain what's happening now.
[21:15] Minnie
    Currently,
[21:16] Minnie
    you're in a vehicle moving at 100
    kph, on a road you don't know.
[21:21] Minnie
    If you were thrown outside right now,
[21:23] Minnie
    you would either crash into the ground
    or another vehicle, and you'd die.
[21:27] Minnie
    And if I apply just a bit more strength,
[21:31] Minnie
    your neck will break, and you'll die.
[21:36] Minnie
    Do you understand?
[21:37] Minnie
    Did you just imagine it now?
[21:39] Minnie
    If you struggle or disobey me,
[21:43] Minnie
    you will die.
[21:46] Minnie
    Understand?
[21:48] Joe
    Until I met you, I'd never feared death,
[21:54] Joe
    Minnie C.
[21:56] Minnie
    I would do absolutely anything
[21:59] Minnie
    to see him again,
[22:03] Minnie
    Red Queen.
