**[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.*

"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...*
