[00:16] ---
    My little sister's at Torneo's
    vacation home right now.
[00:20] ---
    Vacation home?
    She isn't at his mansion?
[00:22] ---
    Yes, he goes to his vacation home
    every second Saturday without exception.
[00:26] ---
    So, he takes his hostage with him to his
    vacation home on every Saturday, huh?
[00:29] ---
    Yes... 'cause they
    just do crazy stuff.
[00:36] ---
    W-We might be pretty crazy, too...
[00:38] ---
    There're lots of watchmen
    at the front gate, so...
[00:49] ---
    ♪ The beating of an insect's wings ♪
[00:53] ---
    ♪ Lightly, lightly, floating... ♪
[01:00] ---
    ♪ Carrying our feelings ♪
[01:08] ---
    That's how it always starts...
[01:11] ---
    under the azure sky
[01:14] ---
    After making a vow,
[01:17] ---
    I now set off
[01:34] ---
    Yeah, the desert glitters with a golden hue
[01:39] ---
    (The wind is scorching)
[01:40] ---
    I'm searching for a diamond flower
[01:45] ---
    (I keep on wandering)
[01:46] ---
    Now, for the first time in my life,
[01:53] ---
    I live for someone else
[02:00] ---
    There's something I wanna protect
[02:06] ---
    I'll never, ever lose it again
[02:12] ---
    Resound, my heartbeat!
[02:19] ---
    A heartbeat smaller and fragile,
    but tougher than anyone's.

[02:38] ---
    "The Cat in the Dark"
[02:46] ---
    Wh-What the hell is going on?
[02:49] ---
    He's alive...
[02:52] ---
    Apparently, they were all
    knocked unconscious by one blow...
[02:55] ---
    Sven-san! Looks like
    she's in a room upstairs...
[03:19] ---
    B-Black Cat!
[03:22] ---
    Hold it!
[03:24] ---
    You again...
    Stay out of my way!
[03:26] ---
    Not a chance!
[03:28] ---
    I've got a huge pile of bills, and...
    No, what I mean is...
[03:31] ---
    You'd just point your
    gun at a child like that?!
[03:33] ---
    Please! Let that girl go!!
[03:38] ---
    This is what I do...
[03:41] ---
    So, you're just Chronos'
    pet cat after all...
[03:48] ---
    Blood...
[03:51] ---
    This smells of blood.
[03:55] ---
    The game's over!
[03:58] ---
    Just drop your guns
    and raise your hands.
[04:11] ---
    Well, well...
    Welcome, my guests.
[04:16] ---
    So the final boss
    shows himself, huh?
[04:18] ---
    But you're a little too
    dangerous to be called guests.
[04:24] ---
    We're fitting guests for you, aren't we?
[04:27] ---
    This guest talks a lot.
    But the smart remarks end here.
[04:32] ---
    Sorry, but I'll have
    to ask my guests...
[04:34] ---
    to disappear now.
[05:03] ---
    H-Hey!
    No!!
[05:06] ---
    Shoot! Shoot!!
[05:07] ---
    Wait! You're gonna shoot Eve!!
[05:28] ---
    B-Black Cat...
[05:35] ---
    No matter how many
    rats sneak into my place,
[05:38] ---
    they'll just become
    prey for my masterpiece.
[05:57] ---
    It's now morning, but it seems like
    they're not after us, doesn't it?
[06:02] ---
    Wh-Why are you dressed like that?
[06:06] ---
    You have to be well-groomed,
    even if it's just for making coffee.
[06:10] ---
    That's gentleman's
    etiquette, you know...
[06:14] ---
    Gentleman's... huh?
[06:17] ---
    Well...
[06:20] ---
    Isn't it about time
    for you to tell me the truth?
[06:25] ---
    What?
[06:30] ---
    It's no use hiding it.
[06:33] ---
    You wouldn't refer to your
    own sister as "that girl," right?
[06:38] ---
    Also, why would Black Cat
    be after your little sister?
[06:41] ---
    You don't have to think very hard
    to realize something's odd, right?
[06:44] ---
    I've known that something
    was up ever since you told me
[06:46] ---
    that she was kidnapped by Torneo...
[06:49] ---
    Miss Rinslet Walker,
    the ace female thief...
[06:55] ---
    Now that you've figured it out,
    I guess I have no choice...
[06:59] ---
    Well done, Sven Vollfied,
    ex-IBI agent...
[07:05] ---
    So, what are you after?
[07:12] ---
    That girl...
[07:15] ---
    is the ultimate bio-weapon.
[07:18] ---
    Bio-weapon?
[07:21] ---
    Are you familiar
    with nanotechnology?
[07:25] ---
    I've heard of it...
[07:27] ---
    There's a type of engineering that
    uses micro-robots called nanomachines,
[07:31] ---
    which are a nano-meter in size.
[07:35] ---
    That's nanotechnology...
[07:37] ---
    It was supposed to be used for things like
    helping to overcome intractable diseases
[07:42] ---
    by altering the structure of DNA,
[07:43] ---
    and creating new materials
    by rearranging molecules, but...
[07:48] ---
    But?
[07:49] ---
    You've heard about that military facility
    that collapsed a few years ago, haven't you?
[07:56] ---
    If I remember correctly, an ammunition
    dump within the facility exploded, right?
[08:01] ---
    The one that caused the
    deaths of more than 10,000 people...
[08:04] ---
    That was a tragic accident...
[08:07] ---
    What if it wasn't an accident?
[08:10] ---
    You don't mean...!
[08:11] ---
    It was Torneo who caused that accident.
[08:14] ---
    His goal was to steal nanotechnology that
    was sealed within the military facility,
[08:20] ---
    and to have it traded
    as a military weapon...
[08:24] ---
    No way. Are you saying he
    caused that many deaths for that?
[08:30] ---
    Then...!
[08:32] ---
    That's right.
[08:33] ---
    The ultimate bio-weapon created
    using that stolen nanotechnology is...
[08:41] ---
    That girl... Eve, huh?
[08:45] ---
    And, your goal would be to steal
    that nanotechnology data, huh?
[08:53] ---
    Of course!
    What else would it be?!
[08:56] ---
    If I take that data back to the military,
    I'll get a huge reward for it!
[09:02] ---
    This is like hitting the
    jackpot, don't you think?!
[09:06] ---
    Whatever...
[09:08] ---
    Hey, where're you going?!
[09:09] ---
    I'm gonna go buy some cigarettes.
[09:30] ---
    Now it's cold...
[09:41] ---
    So, you're just Chronos'
    pet cat after all...
[09:51] ---
    T-Torneo-sama,
    please forgive me!
[09:56] ---
    Please don't kill me!
[09:58] ---
    The mistake you made
    is worth the ultimate punishment.
[10:02] ---
    I-It was certainly my
    mistake that the intruders snuck in
[10:05] ---
    but I didn't expect that Black Cat
    to come to your secret vacation home.
[10:10] ---
    It wasn't just Black Cat.
    You also let two rats into...
[10:14] ---
    Now, hold on, Flit.
[10:16] ---
    If you don't want to die, then run...
[10:20] ---
    What?
[10:24] ---
    Don't you get it?
    It's a game of "tag."
[10:28] ---
    Run, run, run for your life!
[10:31] ---
    Eve!
[10:33] ---
    It's time to play a game of tag.
[10:36] ---
    Tag...
[10:40] ---
    The one who's it
    has to hunt down the prey.
[10:43] ---
    Understand?
[10:45] ---
    I am...
[10:49] ---
    it.
[11:05] ---
    The smell of blood...
[11:07] ---
    What's the matter, Eve?
    Finish him off!
[11:11] ---
    This isn't...
[11:13] ---
    This isn't the prey
    I'm hunting for...
[11:27] ---
    Yes, sir!
[11:29] ---
    No, don't!
[11:30] ---
    There's still a lot to teach
    her about being a weapon...
[11:34] ---
    But she's a complete success,
    as she can transform in a split second.
[11:39] ---
    She'll be completed soon... soon.
[11:51] ---
    Wh-What happened?
[11:54] ---
    Out of the way...
[11:56] ---
    You...
[11:57] ---
    What are you doing?!
    Go back to your room!
[11:59] ---
    Out of the way...
[12:01] ---
    If you don't go back right away...
[12:15] ---
    Two packs of Lamies, ma'am.
[12:18] ---
    Okay.
[12:21] ---
    The question is,
    what's my next move?

[13:00] ---
    That girl is the ultimate bio-weapon...
[13:18] ---
    Tiptoe, tiptoe, tippytoe...
[13:27] ---
    You are...
[13:28] ---
    Yes, yes, yes!
[13:29] ---
    Who are you?
[13:30] ---
    Who?! What?
[13:39] ---
    Young lady, what're you
    doing in a place like this?
[13:43] ---
    I...
[13:46] ---
    am it.
[13:47] ---
    What?
[13:48] ---
    It...
[14:04] ---
    Where's Eve?!
[14:06] ---
    Y-Yes, sir! It seems that
    she's not on the premises!
[14:09] ---
    What?!
[14:11] ---
    Flit!
[14:12] ---
    Yes, sir!
[14:13] ---
    If something happens to Eve,
    you know what that means, right?
[14:18] ---
    She's wearing a bracelet
    transmitter just in case.
[14:27] ---
    So, young lady, what're you
    doing in a place like this?
[14:30] ---
    Where... am I?
[14:33] ---
    Are you lost?
[14:36] ---
    Lost...
[14:38] ---
    No...
[14:39] ---
    I... am it.
[14:46] ---
    Until I catch him,
    I can't finish playing...
[14:50] ---
    tag.
[14:56] ---
    Oh, I see!
[15:01] ---
    What are you doing here?
[15:04] ---
    I dare not say that I'm
    trying to capture you
...
[15:11] ---
    I just, um...
    you know...
[15:16] ---
    I came to feed the doves!
    'Cause they're cute!
[15:22] ---
    Feed?
[15:24] ---
    Well, feed, feed, feed,
    feed for the doves...
[15:29] ---
    I used up all the feed
    earlier so I don't have any left.
[15:34] ---
    I see...
[15:38] ---
    Wait here.
    I'll go buy some!
[15:42] ---
    Thank you very much!
[15:44] ---
    Here, ice cream!
[15:50] ---
    Feed?
[15:52] ---
    First, we have to feed ourselves.
[16:02] ---
    It's cold and sweet...
[16:05] ---
    And yet, the sweetness isn't heavy.
[16:07] ---
    The feeling as it melts
    in your mouth is great and...
[16:16] ---
    Here, use this to wipe your mouth.
[16:26] ---
    This is a weapon?
[16:29] ---
    Ice cream...
[16:32] ---
    tastes good.
[16:36] ---
    Hey, hey, if you're impressed with something
    like ice cream, you're in for a treat!
[16:41] ---
    In for a treat?
    Yeah!
[16:43] ---
    By that I mean there's lots of good food
    out there that tastes better than this!
[16:47] ---
    Good food?
[16:48] ---
    Steak, coffee,
    cigarettes and beer...
[16:51] ---
    Oh, those're my favorites, I guess...
[16:54] ---
    Cakes, chocolates, tiramisu,
    tapioca pudding, annin-dofu...
[17:00] ---
    Gentlemen don't like
    sweets much, so...
[17:04] ---
    So, there're many...
[17:06] ---
    I don't know much about the outside, so...
[17:15] ---
    Now, watch.
[17:16] ---
    There!
[17:36] ---
    All right!
[17:38] ---
    Do you wanna go out
    for good food sometime?!
[17:41] ---
    Good food?
[17:42] ---
    Yep! There's a whole lot of good
    stuff out there besides sweets!
[17:46] ---
    Curry with rice, hamburger steak,
    spaghetti Neapolitan...
[17:55] ---
    Will you take me
    to eat good food?
[17:59] ---
    Yes, it's a promise.
[18:03] ---
    Promise...
[18:05] ---
    Promise!
[18:07] ---
    Oh, come to think of it, they were
    selling crepes at that food stand, too...
[18:11] ---
    Wait here!
[18:25] ---
    Now, which one shall I get?
[18:34] ---
    We're going home, Eve.
[18:35] ---
    Hold it!
[18:42] ---
    Shit!
[18:44] ---
    Wait!
[18:50] ---
    Promise...
[19:07] ---
    The smell of blood...
[19:09] ---
    Hi there!
[19:11] ---
    You're looking better
    than I thought, Train.
[19:14] ---
    Shall I give you a hand if you're
    having trouble with your mission?
[19:20] ---
    It's none of your business.
[19:25] ---
    Did you run into
    the bio-weapon girl?
[19:30] ---
    I'm sure it's not the case
[19:32] ---
    that you couldn't shoot because
    the target was a child, right?
[19:37] ---
    When it comes to
    Numbers' missions,
[19:39] ---
    it doesn't really matter whether
    the target is an adult or a child.
[19:41] ---
    That's my Train! I knew I didn't place
    my confidence in you for nothing.
[19:46] ---
    If you're done here,
    get lost already!
[19:50] ---
    Transform...
[19:54] ---
    You know what Torneo stole from
    a military base a few years ago, don't you?
[20:00] ---
    That's right. The data
    about nanotechnology.
[20:05] ---
    It's rumored that the attack capability
    developed using that nanotechnology...
[20:08] ---
    is the ability to transform.
[20:12] ---
    By altering the sequence
    of cells in her body,
[20:15] ---
    she can become a "devil,"
    an "angel"...
[20:18] ---
    and she can also become
    a "silent weapon," too...
[20:21] ---
    That is the "transform" ability...
[20:25] ---
    You met Eve in the park?!
    And, you're saying she was taken away?!
[20:30] ---
    Yeah...
[20:30] ---
    Why're you so calm?!
    Why didn't you bring her back with you?!
[20:35] ---
    Can't be helped...
[20:36] ---
    "Can't be helped"? But...
[20:38] ---
    There's one thing I found out...
[20:42] ---
    She's not some sort of weapon.
[20:44] ---
    She's just a girl who grew up
    in a slightly different world.
[20:49] ---
    Even with nanotechnology,
[20:50] ---
    if you use it for good,
    it'll take you in the right direction.
[20:55] ---
    Torneo Rudman...
[20:57] ---
    As a sweeper, no, as a gentleman,
    I won't let you get away with this...
[21:01] ---
    But it seems that
    you don't have to fear...
[21:05] ---
    I heard that the girl isn't
    actually complete as a weapon yet.
[21:11] ---
    Which means that sooner is
    better if you want to attack her.
[21:18] ---
    So, what're you gonna do?
[21:20] ---
    So, what're you going to do now?
[21:23] ---
    It's easy!
[21:25] ---
    I'll make a lot of noise
    so that they'll notice.
[21:27] ---
    Then, Torneo'll probably use Eve...
[21:30] ---
    So, that's when you'll attack her!
[21:33] ---
    That's when I'll rescue her.
[21:36] ---
    Then, as I thought...
[21:38] ---
    I'll head in from the front!
[21:41] ---
    I'll set off loud fireworks!
[21:45] ---
    Wait! No matter what
    you say, this is crazy!
[21:49] ---
    Don't worry.
    I have a trump card.
[21:51] ---
    T-Trump card?
[21:53] ---
    If it comes down to it, I'll take a good
    look at my enemy with both eyes.
[21:59] ---
    Are you nuts?!
    What're you talking about?!
[22:02] ---
    Well, I guess I'll go
    keep my promise!
[22:06] ---
    That's right, Train.
[22:08] ---
    That's the almighty
    human that I want...
[22:15] ---
    Train...
[22:17] ---
    You're truly above them all!
[22:25] ---
    The stars in the night sky are my tears
[22:31] ---
    Goddess of the moon, angel of the stars!
[22:35] ---
    Please stop time tonight!
[22:49] ---
    Please show yourself
[22:52] ---
    even if just a little
[22:55] ---
    Around the time the first evening star appears,
[22:58] ---
    I hear footsteps approaching
[23:01] ---
    The only time I can see you*
[23:04] ---
    s when the moon is shining*
[23:07] ---
    Please let me dream a little
[23:10] ---
    'Cause it'll become an illusion by morning
[23:13] ---
    Even though I know it, I still feel lonely
[23:17] ---
    The stars in the night sky are my tears
[23:22] ---
    You held me in your arms
[23:26] ---
    and your passionate lips met mine
[23:29] ---
    Please don't let go of me
[23:31] ---
    I'm about to melt in your arms
[23:35] ---
    But morning is almost here
[23:38] ---
    Goddess of the moon, angel of the stars!
[23:41] ---
    I pray to you,
[23:43] ---
    please stop time
[23:55] ---
    "Next Episode"
[23:56] ---
    The super cool thief
[23:57] ---
    Rinslet Walker arrives on the scene!
[23:59] ---
    Rats! I thought I'd just waltz in
    and obtain the nanotechnology weapon,

[24:03] ---
    but things don't look too good.
[24:05] ---
    The weapon's thinking
    about something.

[24:07] ---
    Though it's unlike Sven,
    he's developed a father's love,

[24:10] ---
    and even Chronos' assassin
    is now getting involved...

[24:12] ---
    If things go on like this,
    my plan's gonna be ruined!

[24:15] ---
    How should I put it? I just wish life could be simpler...
