[00:09] Casca
    You haven't changed at all these three years!
[00:14] Casca
    You're just a mad dog!
[00:18] Casca
    It's your fault this happened to Griffith...
[00:22] Casca
    This is your fault!
[00:24] Guts
    Damn it!

[00:35] Guts
    What's that bitch's problem?
[00:37] Griffith
    You're worked up.
[00:41] Griffith
    In spite of getting it worse than I did...
[00:44] Griffith
    You sure are a tough guy.
[00:49] Guts
    Nosferatu Zodd, huh?
[00:51] Guts
    I can't believe a monster
     like that really exists...
[00:56] Griffith
    But viewed another way, he might be proof
[00:59] Griffith
    that there's something huge out there
     beyond human comprehension.
[01:06] Griffith
    Like gods, for instance.
[01:08] Guts
    Don'tcha mean devils?
[01:12] Griffith
    What's the difference?
[01:15] Guts
    Say, you know that thing you
    always wear around your neck?
[01:23] Guts
    When the monster saw it, he up and flew off.
[01:27] Guts
    What is that, anyway?
[01:29] Griffith
    A Behelit. I got it long ago
    from an old fortuneteller lady.
[01:37] Griffith
    She said whoever possesses this
    is destined to obtain the world
[01:41] Griffith
    in exchange for his own flesh and blood.
[01:48] Guts
    The world, huh?
[02:11] Guts
    Don't scare me with that creepy thing!
[02:19] Griffith
    Good stuff, yeah?
[02:23] Guts
    Man, that side of you never changes.
[02:28] Griffith
    I'm not one to change.
[02:40] Guts
    Why?
[02:43] Guts
    Why'd you come to save me
     when I'm just another one of your men?
[02:53] Griffith
    There's no reason.
[02:55] Griffith
    Do I need one every single time
     I put myself at risk for you?
[03:11] Guts
    Nah, I mean...
[03:13] king
    Are you already back on your feet?
[03:16] Griffith
    Your Majesty.
[03:27] Griffith
    Hey, Guts.
[03:28] Julius
    You stand before the king! Show some respect!
[03:42] king
    Enough of that. Lift your heads.
[03:47] king
    Sir Griffith, the exploits of your Band
    of the Hawk are impressive, as always.
[03:53] Griffith
    You honor me, Sire.
[03:54] Julius
    Your Majesty, to consort this way with
    a newly promoted commander...
[03:58] king
    Now, what's the harm?
[04:02] king
    It's true that some of my chief retainers
    don't look kindly on your common origins.
[04:09] king
    But wars cannot be won
    with prestige and social status.
[04:13] king
    Rather, I have high hopes for you and yours,
     with your unconventional approach.
[04:20] Griffith
    Your praise is most stirring, Sire.
[04:26] Griffith
    Who might that lady be?
[04:32] Griffith
    My daughter, Charlotte.
[04:35] Griffith
    She claims to care not for stern warriors
    and seldom wishes to venture outside.
[04:40] Griffith
    Charlotte.
[04:45] Griffith
    I may have spoiled her a bit,
    as she's my only daughter.
[04:49] Griffith
    Forgive her, Sir Griffith.
[04:53] Griffith
    Let us be going, Charlotte.
[05:21] Griffith
    Are you all right?
[05:27] Griffith
    Pardon me. Please do be careful.
[05:31] Charlotte
    U-Um...
[05:37] Julius
    How dare you lay a hand on Her Highness?!
[05:43] Guts
    Look here, pal!
[05:48] Griffith
    I am terribly sorry,
    Your Lordship, General Julius.
[05:54] Julius
    So long as you understand.
[05:55] Julius
    Come, Princess. Your father awaits.
[06:00] Charlotte
    Y-Yes, Uncle.
[06:16] Guts
    Someone tell me why we have to tag
    along for aristocrat playtime.
[06:22] Guts
    It's stupid.
[06:23] Judeau
    Doesn't it beat going to the battlefield?
[06:26] Judeau
    Nobody's going to take an arrow
    or have their head split open.
[06:32] Guts
    This right here is more my style.
[06:36] Corkus
    There's the killing fool, right on cue.
[06:38] Rickert
    Give it a rest, Corkus.
[06:39] Corkus
    Shut up! Escorting this hunt is a big deal.
[06:42] Corkus
    Only native-born knights have
    ever been allowed to do it!
[06:47] Corkus
    We earned our way here by
     slogging though battle after battle.
[06:53] Corkus
    And you go and call this stupid?!
[06:56] Rickert
    Corkus!
[06:57] Corkus
    If you wanna swing your sword that badly,
    do it on your own time, you killing fool.
[07:14] Griffith
    Do you dislike hunting?
[07:23] Charlotte
    Why is it that men so enjoy shedding blood,
[07:28] Charlotte
    be it warfare or hunting?
[07:35] Charlotte
    Oh my.
[07:44] Griffith
    Hold it like this, Your Highness.
[08:07] assassin
    Your Lordship...
[08:08] Julius
    Wait for an opportunity.
[08:10] soldier 3-1
    Hey, it's headed your way!
[08:11] soldier 3-2
    Trap it!
[08:31] Charlotte
    Please! Stop!
[08:48] Griffith
    You're safe now.
[08:51] Griffith
    Whoa there, whoa there!
[08:53] Griffith
    Whoa...
[08:59] Griffith
    Are you unharmed?
[09:09] Griffith
    What is the matter?
[09:11] Charlotte
    I-I was scared! Terrified!
[09:15] Charlotte
    My heart is still racing.
[09:17] Charlotte
    I've never been so...
[09:24] Griffith
    At least it distracted you from your cares.
[09:27] Griffith
    We should return.
[09:30] Griffith
    Everyone must be worried.
[09:32] Guts
    Griffith!
[09:35] Guts
    Griffith!
[09:39] Griffith
    Guts!
[09:48] Guts
    Griffith!
[09:55] Guts
    Shit!
[09:56] Casca
    Griffith!
[09:58] Guts
    Hey, Princess!
[10:00] Guts
    What the hell's going on?!
[10:02] Guts
    Where'd that arrow come from?!
[10:03] Charlotte
    Th-That hurts...
[10:04] Casca
    Griffith! Griffith!
[10:09] Griffith
    Don't cry, Casca.
[10:11] everyone 3
    Griffith!
[10:15] Judeau
    Yeah, but what about the arrow?
[10:20] Griffith
    Don't touch it.
[10:22] Griffith
    It's probably poisoned.
[10:24] Judeau
    Then all the more reason...
[10:26] Griffith
    No, this shielded me.
[10:32] Guts
    The Egg of the King...
[10:33] soldier 3-3
    You're kidding!
[10:35] soldier 3-4
    Is that even possible?
[10:37] Corkus
    That's some insane luck!
[10:38] soldier 3-5
    There's just no way!
[10:40] Guts
    No one's that lucky...
[10:42] soldier 3-6
    It's a miracle.
[10:46] Guts
    I'll take my men
    and search the brush over here.
[10:52] Casca
    Griffith.
[10:53] Casca
    You should still remove your armor
[10:55] Casca
    so we can see if you're hurt.
[11:11] Griffith
    This poison...
[11:14] Griffith
    came at a high price.
[11:23] soldier 3-7
    Seriously?
[11:25] soldier 3-8
    Huh?!
[11:34] Julius
    That was pathetic!
[11:37] Julius
    You think that's good enough for you
    to take over my White Dragon Knights?!
[11:42] Julius
    We're done here!
[11:46] Adonis
    F-Father, I can still...
[11:50] Hassan
    Lord Adonis, we must
    hurry and treat your wound.
[11:54] Hassan
    It's because your father cares about you
    that he makes your training so difficult.
[12:00] Hassan
    Please do not despise him for it.
[12:08] Guts
    Murder? Who?
[12:11] Griffith
    The second in line for the throne...
[12:14] Griffith
    The White Dragon General, Count Julius.
[12:20] Griffith
    The arrow fired at me was dipped in poison.
[12:24] Griffith
    A deadly kind used for assassination
    by the royal family for generations.
[12:30] Griffith
    This is dirty business.
[12:33] Griffith
    Failure is by no means an option.
[12:37] Griffith
    Nor may your face be seen.
[12:45] Griffith
    That's exactly why I want
    to entrust you to do this.
[12:49] Griffith
    Can I ask it of you?
[12:51] Guts
    This ain't like you.
[12:55] Guts
    Don't drone on about it.
    Just give me the order like always.
[12:59] Hassan
    With all due respect, Your Highness is
    being a bit harsh toward the young master.
[13:04] Julius
    Stop it, Hassan.
[13:06] Julius
    Adonis won't be a child forever.
[13:08] Julius
    Would you see him inherit my role
    without being fully prepared?
[13:12] Hassan
    No, but...
[13:13] Julius
    Enough! Leave me.
[13:37] Julius
    Not only did I fail, I set him up to play
     the hero who protected the princess!
[13:48] Julius
    The wind?
[13:50] Julius
    Hey, Hassan!
[13:57] Julius
    An intruder!
[14:23] Julius
    I... I know you...
[14:28] Julius
    You're Griffith's...
[15:43] Guts
    H-Hey...
[16:15] soldier 3-9
    No, I'm sure I heard something...
[16:17] soldier 3-10
    Somebody's there!
[16:20] soldier 3-9
    It's an intruder!
[16:21] soldier 3-10
    Hey, that's...
[16:23] soldier 3-10
    Lord Adonis!
[16:24] soldier 3-10
    Bastard!
[16:25] soldier 3-9
    To arms!
[16:26] soldier 3-9
    There's an intruder!
[16:30] Guts
    Damn it...
[16:31] Guts
    Damn it!
[16:32] soldier 3-11
    He can't have gone far!
[16:34] soldier 3-12
    Stay alert!
[16:43] Hassan
    Even Lord Adonis...
[16:46] Hassan
    How... How awful!
[16:55] Hassan
    Find him! Don't let him
    leave the premises alive!
[17:10] soldier 3-13
    Hey, there he is! On the western wall!
[17:13] soldier 3-13
    Attack from both sides!
[17:29] soldier 3-14
    Fire!
[17:48] Corkus
    I bet Griffith is eatin' better stuff
    right now at the princess's banquet.
[17:54] Judeau
    On the other hand, I bet dealing
     with all those strangers is exhausting.
[18:04] Rickert
    By the way, where's Guts?
[18:06] Rickert
    I haven't seen him since this morning.
[18:09] Corkus
    The killing fool's probably
    just training alone again.
[18:13] Casca
    I'll have more, Pippin.
[18:15] Casca
    His unit and mine were supposed
    to train together today.
[18:19] Casca
    And he didn't even say anything...
[18:28] Casca
    It's him!
[18:34] Casca
    Guts!
[18:37] Casca
    Where've you been wandering around all day?
[18:44] Guts
    Where's Griffith?
[18:45] Casca
    He was invited to a banquet
    hosted by Princess Charlotte.
[18:51] Casca
    He should be at Promrose Hall.
[18:57] Guts
    Got it.
[18:59] Casca
    Hey! I'm not done talking to you! Guts!
[19:07] Casca
    An arrow wound?
[19:23] Charlotte
    What a lovely breeze.
[19:32] Griffith
    Here, Princess Charlotte.
[19:36] Charlotte
    Oh!
[19:39] Charlotte
    Thank you.
[19:44] Casca
    Wait.
[19:46] Casca
    You're gonna go looking like that?
[19:48] Casca
    Don't embarrass Griffith.
[19:50] Casca
    If you need him,
    wait until they're done talking.
[19:54] Casca
    I'm using this.
[20:01] Guts
    H-Hey.
[20:05] Griffith
    "Why is it that men so enjoy shedding blood?"
[20:09] Griffith
    Isn't that what you said, Your Highness?
[20:13] Charlotte
    Yes.
[20:15] Griffith
    True, perhaps men do have a savage side.
[20:20] Griffith
    But I think it's an implement by which to win
     and protect what's precious to them.
[20:25] Griffith
    A doubled-edged sword.
[20:29] Charlotte
    "What's precious to them"?
[20:31] Charlotte
    Their sweethearts?
[20:33] Charlotte
    No, their knight's honor!
[20:36] Griffith
    Both of those are important.
[20:39] Griffith
    To fight and die for love or honor
    is a knight's greatest wish.
[20:47] Griffith
    But before that, a man most likely comes
    across one other precious thing.
[20:54] Charlotte
    And what's that?
[20:57] Griffith
    A dream. One not to be accomplished
    for others' sake, but for his own.
[21:08] Guts
    A dream?
[21:10] Griffith
    Regardless of status, class, or upbringing,
     people yearn for dreams.
[21:16] Griffith
    They are supported by them.
    They suffer for them.
[21:21] Griffith
    Dreams keep them alive, and dreams kill them.
[21:25] Griffith
    Even after a dream forsakes you,
    it still smolders in your heart.
[21:31] Griffith
    Men fantasize of living that way at least once...
[21:37] Griffith
    as martyrs to the gods known as dreams.
[21:43] Griffith
    But to live for no reason
     just because you happened to be born?
[21:45] Griffith
    I could never stomach such a life.
[21:58] Griffith
    My apologies. This must be
    a boring topic for a lady.
[22:01] Charlotte
    N-No!
[22:04] Charlotte
    Rather...
[22:06] Charlotte
    You're mysterious, Lord Griffith.
[22:11] Charlotte
    You're nobler than any noble,
[22:14] Charlotte
    yet you were like a child at a picnic when
    you taught me how to use the leaf whistle.
[22:21] Charlotte
    And now, you seem like a philosopher.
[22:34] Charlotte
    Your friends, too, must find themselves
    frequently drawn to you by that charm.
[22:42] Griffith
    They're valuable comrades,
    with whom I've repeatedly defied death.
[22:48] Griffith
    But that is not the same as friendship.
[22:53] Griffith
    He would never cling to another's dream.
[22:56] Griffith
    He'd determine his own reason for living,
[22:58] Griffith
    and if anyone tread upon his dream,
    he would oppose them with all his being...
[23:04] Griffith
    Even if I were that opponent.
[23:08] Griffith
    That's what I think a friend is. An equal.
[23:31] Charlotte
    Lord Griffith, what is your dream?
[23:35] Anna
    Your Highness!
[23:44] Charlotte
    What is it?
[23:46] Anna
    I-I-It's terrible! His Highness,
    your Uncle Julius, is dead!
[23:51] Charlotte
    What?!
[23:52] Anna
    He was assassinated! Someone snuck into his
    residence! Even his son, Adonis, was...
[23:59] Anna
    The castle is in an uproar!
[24:01] Anna
    His Majesty has ordered the banquet canceled
     and for you to return to the castle at once!
[24:07] Anna
    Soldiers will arrive soon.
    You must hurry and prepare to depart!
[24:12] Casca
    Let's head back, Guts. If this was
    Tudor's doing, it'll mean battle.
[24:16] Casca
    Guts?
