*You strongly attract things you believe in*
**[00:19] ---**
*I'll protect even your ice-cold gaze*
**[00:26] ---**
*My wish descends upon a
whirlwind of scarlet*
**[00:48] ---**
*The sky doesn't reflect those little things*
**[00:51] ---**
*When I ran alone, I wasn't scared*
**[00:54] ---**
*If I betray tomorrow here*
**[00:56] ---**
*I won't be able to go anywhere anymore*
**[01:00] ---**
*I who have sinned, am wandering
about in a city seeking light*
**[01:08] ---**
*You strongly attract things you believe in*
**[01:14] ---**
*I'll protect even your ice-cold gaze*
**[01:20] ---**
*The thought I'm holding
in my hands is "brilliance"*
**[01:27] ---**
*Until this never-ending
tune makes it to the truth*
**[01:34] ---**
*I'll shoot through with
the febricula that is me*
**[01:45] ---**
Late at night on December 24th,
**[01:47] ---**
there was a fire on the cruise
ship Embellir, and it sank
**[01:52] ---**
while sailing off the coast
of Uraga, Kanagawa Pref.
**[01:56] ---**
It seems that there was a
*Butei* among the passengers.
**[01:59] ---**
It is said that he was a *Butei
*who worked for the Butei Agency.
**[02:03] ---**
A witness stated that an explosion
happened near this *Butei*.
**[02:08] ---**
Being a *Butei*,
**[02:08] ---**
"Boat company suggests that
Butei T is responsible"
**[02:09] ---**
he should've prevented such an accident.
**[02:11] ---**
Yes, yes...
**[02:12] ---**
What is the point of having *Butei*?
**[02:16] ---**
Many people were exposed to danger
because of your older brother, right?
**[02:20] ---**
Aren't you going to offer an apology?!
**[02:29] ---**
It was a dream...
**[02:32] ---**
Dammit!
**[02:34] ---**
Screw *Butei*...!
**[02:37] ---**
Screw *Butei*...!
**[02:37] ---**
"Episode 4: Butei Killer"
**[02:48] ---**
*My brother got caught in a
cruise ship accident on that day.*
**[02:52] ---**
*After leading the crew and passengers
to safety, he became the sole victim.*
**[03:03] ---**
*Despite that, society blamed him.*
**[03:06] ---**
*I realized then that there's
nothing good about being a Butei.*
**[03:08] ---**
*Even if a Butei gave his life to save
people, they'd throw rocks at him.*
**[03:13] ---**
*That's why I...*
**[03:17] ---**
"You've got new mail"
**[03:19] ---**
"From: Shirayuki Hotogi"
"Subject: Good morning"
**[03:20] ---**
*Kin, how are you spending your Sunday?*
**[03:24] ---**
*Oh, by the way, I heard
that the Butei killer copycat...*
**[03:28] ---**
*I'm going to quit being a Butei.*
**[03:31] ---**
That hairstyle really
looks good on you.
**[03:32] ---**
Yep. Thanks!
**[03:38] ---**
*Aria... She changed her hairstyle?*
**[03:47] ---**
*She's really done herself up. I wonder
if she's going out on a date or something.*
**[04:06] ---**
*What the heck am I following her for?*
**[04:09] ---**
*I don't even have
a reason to talk to her.*
**[04:21] ---**
"Kindness runs through
this town and this road"
**[04:23] ---**
A police station?
**[04:25] ---**
What poor tailing!
**[04:27] ---**
I can see your tail squirming about.
**[04:30] ---**
Man, if you knew,
you should've just said so.
**[04:33] ---**
I couldn't make up my mind
if I should tell you or not...
**[04:37] ---**
because you're also one
of the *Butei* killer's victims.
**[04:39] ---**
What?
**[04:41] ---**
Well, I've already arrived here...
**[04:43] ---**
Oh well, come with me.
**[04:56] ---**
Mom!
**[04:56] ---**
What?
**[05:00] ---**
Oh, Aria... Is that your boyfriend?
**[05:05] ---**
N-No, mom! This is Kinji Tohyama!
**[05:09] ---**
He's a student at Butei High
and he isn't like that! Definitely not!
**[05:13] ---**
Nice to meet you. I'm Kanae Kanzaki.
**[05:17] ---**
Looks like you've been
a good friend to my daughter.
**[05:20] ---**
Ah, well...
**[05:23] ---**
Mom, visiting time is
short so I'll put it briefly.
**[05:27] ---**
He's one of the *Butei* killer's victims.
**[05:30] ---**
Oh my...
**[05:31] ---**
His activities started picking up again.
**[05:34] ---**
I'll capture him right away,
so just hang on, okay?
**[05:38] ---**
If I can prove your innocence
even just for the *Butei* killer case,
**[05:41] ---**
your prison time will be reduced
from 864 years to 742 years in one shot.
**[05:46] ---**
I'll do something about all the others
too before you go to the Supreme Court.
**[05:50] ---**
I appreciate your thought, but...
**[05:52] ---**
more importantly, Aria,
have you found your partner?
**[05:55] ---**
Ah... W-Well...
**[05:59] ---**
Before you fight a big enemy, you have
to find someone who understands you.
**[06:04] ---**
I can do it by myself.
**[06:06] ---**
No, Aria. It's necessary in order for
you to exhibit the talent you inherited.
**[06:11] ---**
Your great-grandfather and
your grandmother
**[06:13] ---**
had excellent partners, right?
**[06:15] ---**
I know.
**[06:17] ---**
Since I haven't ever been able to find
my partner, they say I'm defective.
**[06:21] ---**
But there isn't much time!
**[06:24] ---**
Take time and live your life.
**[06:27] ---**
Those who rush will fall.
**[06:31] ---**
Kanzaki, it's time.
**[06:33] ---**
Mom, just hang on, okay?
**[06:35] ---**
I'll be sure to capture everyone
who framed you before the trial!
**[06:39] ---**
No, Aria! It's too early to confront "I-U!"
**[06:43] ---**
"I-U"?
**[06:44] ---**
It's time!
**[06:46] ---**
Mom!
**[06:47] ---**
Stop it! Don't use violence against my mom!
**[06:49] ---**
Aria! Find your partner first!
**[06:51] ---**
That scar on your forehead proves
**[06:53] ---**
that you've gotten yourself into
danger that you can't handle alone!
**[06:57] ---**
Aria!
**[06:59] ---**
Mom! Mom!
**[07:01] ---**
Mom!
**[07:17] ---**
Don't follow me.
**[07:19] ---**
Aria!
**[07:20] ---**
Just leave me alone!
**[07:22] ---**
But you're cr...
**[07:23] ---**
I'm not crying!
**[07:27] ---**
I'm not...
**[07:34] ---**
crying.
**[07:51] ---**
Many are the mountains in Yamato,
**[07:53] ---**
I climb heavenly Kagu hill that is foliage,
**[07:55] ---**
*Aria was absent from school the next day.*
**[07:56] ---**
And stand on the summit to view the land.
**[08:02] ---**
"Butei goes missing"
"Motorcycle-jacking?!"
**[08:05] ---**
"Car-jacking"
"Another Butei goes missing"
**[08:06] ---**
"Female suspect arrested
for Butei killings"
**[08:07] ---**
*So Ms. Kanae got arrested then.*
**[08:10] ---**
*But Aria believes that it was a false
accusation and is trying to prove it.*
**[08:17] ---**
Kinji! Become my slave!
**[08:21] ---**
Have you found your partner?
**[08:23] ---**
*So when she said slave, she meant partner.*
**[08:27] ---**
*But...*
**[08:29] ---**
The one I was looking for wasn't you.
**[08:36] ---**
*I'm going to...*
**[08:37] ---**
Tohyama...
**[08:40] ---**
Shiranui, what're you doing here?
**[08:42] ---**
I've been looking for you
since I heard a rumor at Assault earlier.
**[08:48] ---**
About Kanzaki, I heard that she's
going back to London suddenly.
**[08:52] ---**
What?
**[08:53] ---**
They said that she's taking a charter
plane that leaves Haneda at seven tonight.
**[08:56] ---**
I thought you might want to know.
**[09:05] ---**
*So Aria's leaving...*
**[09:09] ---**
*But I'm sure that would be for the best.*
**[09:12] ---**
*I can't be of help to her.*
**[09:19] ---**
Ah! Kii!
**[09:22] ---**
You're finally here! Come in! Come in!
**[09:25] ---**
Why a private room?
**[09:27] ---**
Don't worry about it.
**[09:29] ---**
From here on, it's Riko's route.
**[09:32] ---**
You aren't making sense.
**[09:33] ---**
Anyway, what is this important
thing you want to tell me?
**[09:36] ---**
Here, Kii! Say "Aahh."
**[09:38] ---**
Why would I? You idiot!
**[09:40] ---**
The *Butei* killer...
**[09:42] ---**
If you say "Aahh,"
I'll tell you all sorts of things.
**[09:49] ---**
Say "Aahh."
**[09:55] ---**
Well then, where shall we start?
**[09:59] ---**
*Th-They're soft!*
**[10:01] ---**
Here...? Or...
**[10:04] ---**
would you prefer here?
**[10:07] ---**
Th-That wasn't what you promised!
**[10:09] ---**
I know. About the *Butei* killer case, right?
**[10:15] ---**
H-Hey... Like I said...
**[10:18] ---**
There are these so-called possible cases.
**[10:21] ---**
What?
**[10:22] ---**
Cases that were allegedly accidents,
**[10:24] ---**
but that might've actually
been acts by the *Butei* killer.
**[10:27] ---**
Y-You mean there were more than
just the motorcycle- and the car-jacking?
**[10:32] ---**
I found this in the files at the
Metropolitan Police Department.
**[10:37] ---**
"Report on possible cases"
**[10:38] ---**
"Result: Death"
"Name: Kinichi Tohyama"
**[10:40] ---**
Isn't this your older brother's name?
**[10:42] ---**
Hey, wasn't this a sea-jacking case?
**[10:46] ---**
*My brother was killed
by the Butei killer? Why?*
**[10:49] ---**
Wonderful...
**[10:50] ---**
Wonderful, Kinji. I like those eyes of yours.
**[10:54] ---**
They give me chills.
**[10:56] ---**
*Je t'aime a croquer.*
**[10:58] ---**
What?
**[10:59] ---**
Kinji!
**[11:00] ---**
R-Riko?! S-Stop it!
**[11:03] ---**
You really are oblivious to love, Kinji.
**[11:07] ---**
Hey, do you get it, Kinji?
**[11:09] ---**
This is already an event scene.
**[11:15] ---**
*Dammit! No! I'm gonna
go into hysteria mode again.*
**[11:24] ---**
No one will ever find out
what happens in this room.
**[11:28] ---**
Shirayuki is at training camp
and Aria is on the plane by now.
**[11:37] ---**
Say, Kinji...
**[11:43] ---**
Sorry. This is it for today.
**[11:46] ---**
K-Kinji?
**[11:51] ---**
It's about time for kids to
go home and go to bed, right?
**[12:08] ---**
*If my deduction is correct...*
**[12:11] ---**
*Aria is in danger!*
**[12:23] ---**
*Hysteria mode has worn off.*
**[12:26] ---**
*But...*
**[12:28] ---**
"19:00" "London Heathrow Airport"
"Flight AMA 600" "Boeing 737-350"
**[12:30] ---**
Hey!
**[12:30] ---**
Stop!
**[12:31] ---**
I'm a *Butei*!
**[12:32] ---**
*Everything got connected in my
head because I went into that mode*
**[12:35] ---**
*although it was just for a moment.*
**[12:36] ---**
*The past Butei killings, brother's
case, the bike-jacking, bus-jacking,*
**[12:40] ---**
*and this chartered plane...*
**[12:42] ---**
*The Butei killer is probably on board!*
**[12:45] ---**
Huh? Sir?
**[12:47] ---**
I'm a *Butei*! Cancel the takeoff!
**[12:49] ---**
B-But...
**[12:51] ---**
There's no time to explain!
In any case, stop this plane!
**[12:55] ---**
Y-Yes sir.
**[12:57] ---**
*I made it!*
**[13:00] ---**
*A special plane for the rich, huh?*
**[13:03] ---**
*Just as you'd expect. The plane a real
noble'd fly in is different from the rest.*
**[13:08] ---**
It's moving!
**[13:11] ---**
E-Excuse me...
**[13:13] ---**
it wasn't possible.
**[13:15] ---**
The captain said that the rules
forbid stopping the plane at this point.
**[13:18] ---**
*I have no choice but to change the plan.*
**[13:24] ---**
Does she really know you?
**[13:25] ---**
Even if you're a *Butei*, I can't show you
to a private room without permission.
**[13:32] ---**
Kinji!
**[13:33] ---**
Hey, Aria.
**[13:35] ---**
Well then, please have a
seat and fasten your seatbelt.
**[13:39] ---**
The plane will take off soon.
**[13:41] ---**
H-Hey!
**[13:43] ---**
I'll explain. The fact is, on this plane...
**[13:46] ---**
It's rude of you to come in to my room
uninvited without advance notification!
**[13:49] ---**
You don't have the right
to say that to me, do you?
**[13:51] ---**
The plane is taking off.
For now, sit down and fasten your seatbelt.
**[13:59] ---**
Why did you follow me?
**[14:01] ---**
Why does the sun go up?
Why does the moon shine?
**[14:05] ---**
Shut up! I'm gonna pump you full of holes!
**[14:15] ---**
Butei Charter Article 2. Abide your
contract with your client no matter what.
**[14:19] ---**
What?
**[14:20] ---**
I promised that I'd solve the very first
incident with you. Just one incident.
**[14:26] ---**
But the *Butei* killer case
hasn't been solved yet.
**[14:30] ---**
Wh-Why are you saying that now?!
**[14:32] ---**
Thanks to you, I've come to realize
**[14:34] ---**
that I'll be working alone
for the rest of my life!
**[14:37] ---**
There's no one in this world who
can be my partner! So I've already...
**[14:43] ---**
Are you... scared?
**[14:45] ---**
Wh-Why would I be scared? How stupid!
**[14:48] ---**
Anyway, just...
**[14:50] ---**
If you're scared,
why don't you hide in bed?
**[14:53] ---**
It'll be a big problem
if you wet your pants.
**[14:56] ---**
S-S-S-S-Stupid Kinji!
**[14:58] ---**
This is the captain speaking.
**[15:01] ---**
We're currently taking a detour
around some thunderclouds.
**[15:03] ---**
The thunder and lightning are
expected to continue for a while,
**[15:06] ---**
however, it will not affect the flight.
**[15:10] ---**
Aria! Do you have a change of underwear?
**[15:13] ---**
Sh-Shut up!
**[15:14] ---**
I-I-I-I-I'm gonna... p-p-pump you...
**[15:16] ---**
*To think that Miss Aria the Quadra*
**[15:18] ---**
*has a weak point...*
**[15:24] ---**
K-Kinji...
**[15:27] ---**
Don't be so frightened. It's okay.
**[15:30] ---**
B... But...
**[15:35] ---**
*What small... and frail hands she has...*
**[15:40] ---**
*She's an ordinary girl, too.*
**[15:44] ---**
*Then, although I'm not her partner,
for now, as a friend, I'll...*
**[15:53] ---**
Kinji...
**[16:05] ---**
Aria, listen. The *Butei* killer
is probably on board...
**[16:12] ---**
That was...
**[16:13] ---**
Attention please.
**[16:15] ---**
This plane has just been hijacked.
**[16:22] ---**
This manner of speaking... it's the *Butei*
killer!
**[16:24] ---**
Crew members and passengers,
**[16:25] ---**
Dammit! He's here as I thought!
**[16:26] ---**
Stay put in your rooms.
**[16:28] ---**
However, *Butei* are exceptions.
**[16:31] ---**
If you want me to play with you,
come to the downstairs bar.
**[16:35] ---**
Fine by me. I'll pump him full of holes!
**[16:39] ---**
I'll come with you.
**[16:40] ---**
You don't have to!
**[16:43] ---**
What shall I do?
**[16:44] ---**
Wh-Why don't you come too?
**[16:46] ---**
The *Butei* killer started off with
motorcycle-jacking and car-jacking,
**[16:50] ---**
and he actually killed a certain
*Butei* in a sea-jacking incident.
**[16:53] ---**
And, that was probably
a direct confrontation.
**[16:56] ---**
What makes you think that?
**[16:57] ---**
Just for that incident, no remote
control radio signal was detected.
**[17:02] ---**
It wasn't necessary because
the killer himself was there.
**[17:06] ---**
This is my hunch, but I think
he's doing the same thing here.
**[17:10] ---**
A bike instead of a motorcycle.
A bus instead of a car.
**[17:13] ---**
And instead of a boat...
**[17:15] ---**
A plane? But there's no proof
that he chose this plane.
**[17:19] ---**
He framed Ms. Kanae.
**[17:22] ---**
He's declaring war on you.
**[17:25] ---**
So I was the target from the start, huh?
**[17:29] ---**
How dare he mess with me.
I'll show him what I can do.
**[17:39] ---**
You are...
**[17:41] ---**
You fell right into my trap again.
**[17:51] ---**
Riko!
**[17:52] ---**
*Bon soir*, Kinji. And...
**[17:56] ---**
Holmes...
**[17:58] ---**
*Olmes*?
**[18:00] ---**
Who the heck are you?
**[18:06] ---**
Riko Mine Lupin IV...
**[18:08] ---**
That's my real name.
**[18:11] ---**
Lupin? That's...
**[18:13] ---**
That's right. The French master thief,
Arsène Lupin...
**[18:17] ---**
I'm his great-granddaughter.
**[18:18] ---**
Wh-What?
**[18:20] ---**
Let's suppose you're Lupin's descendant.
**[18:22] ---**
Why are you doing this?
**[18:24] ---**
That's because I am Riko.
**[18:26] ---**
What?
**[18:27] ---**
People at my house didn't call me Riko.
**[18:31] ---**
My mother gave me this cute name.
**[18:34] ---**
But people called me, "Lupin IV!"
"Lupin IV!" "Miss Lupin IV!"
**[18:38] ---**
Everyone did, even the servants.
Don't you think it was so cruel?
**[18:42] ---**
So what?! What's wrong with the
fourth generation?!
**[18:45] ---**
Of course, it's wrong!
**[18:47] ---**
Am I a number?! Am I just genes?!
**[18:51] ---**
I am Riko! I'm not a number!
**[18:55] ---**
Unless I surpass my great-grandfather,
I won't be myself for the rest of my life.
**[18:59] ---**
That's why I joined I-U to gain this power!
**[19:02] ---**
Using this power, I'll
obtain my own identity!
**[19:05] ---**
W-Wait, Riko! Are you
really the *Butei* killer?
**[19:09] ---**
You did the bike-jacking and
bus-jacking, too?
**[19:12] ---**
That was just a game and also the prologue.
**[19:14] ---**
My real target is Holmes IV.
**[19:16] ---**
It's you, Aria.
**[19:20] ---**
100 years ago, our great-grandfathers'
confrontation ended in a tie.
**[19:24] ---**
In other words, if I defeat Holmes IV,
**[19:27] ---**
I can prove that I've surpassed
my great-grandfather.
**[19:30] ---**
Kinji, you make sure that you
play your role, too.
**[19:33] ---**
What?
**[19:33] ---**
Holmes needs a partner.
**[19:36] ---**
The first Holmes had an excellent partner.
**[19:40] ---**
In order to create the same environment,
**[19:41] ---**
I had you partner with Aria.
**[19:44] ---**
Aria and I... You did...?
**[19:47] ---**
That's right. I planted a bomb on your bike
**[19:50] ---**
and sent out a radio signal
that was easy to detect.
**[19:54] ---**
Since it seemed that wasn't enough,
**[19:56] ---**
I did the bus-jacking,
too, to make doubly sure.
**[19:58] ---**
To think that you didn't notice that
I tampered with the clocks in your room...
**[20:03] ---**
You're a failure as a *Butei*, Kinji!
**[20:08] ---**
So everything was going
according to your plan...?
**[20:12] ---**
That's not quite true.
**[20:13] ---**
I couldn't get you two to team
up even after the bus-jacking.
**[20:16] ---**
That was unexpected.
**[20:17] ---**
You wouldn't do anything until
I brought up stuff about your brother.
**[20:22] ---**
Oh, this is obvious,
**[20:24] ---**
but the culprit in your
brother's case was... also me!
**[20:30] ---**
So you... you... killed my brother?!
**[20:34] ---**
On top of that, I'll tell you something.
**[20:37] ---**
Your brother is... my boyfriend right now.
**[20:43] ---**
Enough of your rubbish!
**[20:44] ---**
She's provoking you! Calm down!
**[20:46] ---**
How can I be calm?!
**[20:49] ---**
*Ooh*-*la*-*la!*
**[20:53] ---**
*Non, non.* You can't, Kinji.
**[20:55] ---**
You're useless in a battle right now!
**[21:03] ---**
You're not the only one
who uses two guns, Aria!
**[21:08] ---**
*Since Butei always wear bulletproof
jackets, in a close-range battle,*
**[21:13] ---**
*guns cannot be a weapon
used to defeat the enemy in one blow.*
**[21:17] ---**
*They can exhibit their power
with a direct hit at point-blank range.*
**[21:23] ---**
Ouch!
**[21:27] ---**
*If their abilities are equal, what's
important is the total number of bullets.*
**[21:31] ---**
*That is to say,
Aria will be at a disadvantage.*
**[21:34] ---**
*But...*
**[21:35] ---**
Kinji!
**[21:37] ---**
That's it, Riko!
**[21:41] ---**
What a coincidence, huh, Aria?
**[21:42] ---**
You and I have lots in common.
**[21:45] ---**
Our lineages,
cute figures and nicknames...
**[21:49] ---**
What?
**[21:50] ---**
I also have the same name as you.
"Riko the Quadra."
**[21:54] ---**
But, you know,
your "Quadra" isn't the real deal!
**[22:01] ---**
Aria!
**[22:16] ---**
Aria...
**[22:18] ---**
Aria!
**[22:41] ---**
*I always ran on my own,*
**[22:47] ---**
*Right up against my limit.*
**[22:54] ---**
*Am I a third wheel?
If that's how you feel*
**[22:59] ---**
*It's still not too late.
You can turn back here.*
**[23:06] ---**
*I was used to saying
goodbye until I met you that day.*
**[23:15] ---**
*"I want to protect you"...*
**[23:18] ---**
*No one had said that to me before.*
**[23:28] ---**
*I think I had been waiting
a long time to hear that...*
**[23:32] ---**
*I want to believe in you!*
**[23:39] ---**
*What will be the final?*
**[23:42] ---**
*Through camellia-colored eyes...*
**[23:55] ---**
*Where am I?! If I remember correctly,
I was shot by Riko and...*
**[23:58] ---**
*Ye art in the world of dreams.*
**[24:00] ---**
*Why are you here, Kinji?!*
**[24:02] ---**
*I art not Kinji. I art a dream spirit.*
**[24:05] ---**
*I-Is that right?*
**[24:06] ---**
*There art things that ye need to do.*
**[24:09] ---**
*I know. I have to defeat Riko
and prove my mom's innocence!*
**[24:12] ---**
*Next time, Aria the Scarlet Ammo episode 5!*
**[24:14] ---**
"Episode 5: Butei Charter Article 1"
**[24:14] ---**
*Next tis Butei Charter Article 1.*
**[24:17] ---**
*Watch it or I shall pump ye full of holes!*
**[24:19] ---**
*Hey, I picked up your way of talking!*
**[24:21] ---**
