[00:15] ---
    That is the "transform" ability...
[00:19] ---
    She's not some sort of weapon.
[00:22] ---
    She's just a girl who grew up
    in a slightly different world.
[00:27] ---
    I heard that the girl isn't
    actually complete as a weapon yet.
[00:33] ---
    Which means that sooner is
    better if you want to attack her.
[00:39] ---
    So, what're you gonna do?
[00:41] ---
    So, what're you going to do now?
[00:43] ---
    It's easy!
[00:45] ---
    I'll make a lot of noise
    so that they'll notice.
[00:48] ---
    Then, Torneo'll probably use Eve...
[00:51] ---
    So, that's when you'll attack her!
[00:53] ---
    That's when I'll rescue her.
[00:56] ---
    That's how it always starts...
[00:58] ---
    under the azure sky
[01:01] ---
    After making a vow,
[01:05] ---
    I now set off
[01:21] ---
    Yeah, the desert glitters with a golden hue
[01:26] ---
    (The wind is scorching)
[01:27] ---
    I'm searching for a diamond flower
[01:32] ---
    (I keep on wandering)
[01:34] ---
    Now, for the first time in my life,
[01:40] ---
    I live for someone else
[01:47] ---
    There's something I wanna protect
[01:53] ---
    I'll never, ever lose it again
[02:00] ---
    Resound, my heartbeat!
[02:06] ---
    A heartbeat smaller and fragile,
    but tougher than anyone's.
[02:30] ---
    She's still incomplete
    in a number of areas.
[02:34] ---
    We need to intensify
    her training a bit.
[02:38] ---
    In addition, we must
    not damage the product!
[02:43] ---
    Tighten security so that
    she can never escape again!
[02:47] ---
    Yes, sir!
[02:48] ---
    Really, a hit product
    always comes with troubles...
[03:01] ---
    I am...
[03:04] ---
    a weapon.
[03:06] ---
    "The Grinning Cat"
[03:15] ---
    Okay...
[03:16] ---
    I see. Those're some
    airtight defenses...
[03:21] ---
    What'd you find out?
[03:23] ---
    It looks like the guards
    are all inside of the premises.
[03:25] ---
    I saw more than ten
    while scanning the premises.
[03:27] ---
    They've spread out
    infrared rays above the fences.
[03:31] ---
    As expected, it doesn't look
    like it'll be easy to get in...
[03:35] ---
    Then, I guess we'll force open
    the front gate and make some noise.
[03:38] ---
    What? How are
    we gonna open it?!
[03:41] ---
    Well, just watch.
[03:44] ---
    What're you doing?
[03:51] ---
    Hey, it's not exploding.
[03:54] ---
    You think I'd just
    suddenly throw a bomb?
[04:05] ---
    Okay, so?
[04:07] ---
    Wha...?
[04:18] ---
    H-Hey!
    What the hell?!
[04:22] ---
    Looks like it worked...
    the "here kitty kitty" bomb.
[04:26] ---
    Huh?
[04:27] ---
    It seems there's
    some noise out front...
[04:32] ---
    Wh-What's with all these cats?!
[04:34] ---
    Where did they come from?!
[04:36] ---
    Shoo, shoo!
    Go away!
[04:39] ---
    Okay, let's make some noise!
[04:42] ---
    This is ridiculous!
    Oh, whatever!!
[04:50] ---
    Him again!
[04:51] ---
    Hey! Thanks to your "kitty kitty"
    whatever, now Black Cat is here too!
[04:56] ---
    Don't be stupid!
[05:01] ---
    Intruders!
    Shoot! Shoot!
[05:06] ---
    If I don't find Eve
    before he does...
[05:10] ---
    he'll definitely kill her!
[05:12] ---
    Black Cat'll definitely
    kill her this time!
[05:15] ---
    Hey! Hey! I'll leave
    Black Cat to you!
[05:18] ---
    I'll go find the
    nanotechnology data!
[05:20] ---
    Got it.
[05:22] ---
    Be careful!
[05:23] ---
    You too!!
[05:28] ---
    What's going on?
[05:29] ---
    Torneo-sama!
    We have intruders!
[05:31] ---
    Intruders?!
[05:36] ---
    Black Cat... S-So, this is what
    one of Chronos' erasers can do!
[05:43] ---
    Calm down, Flit. It's just
    a stray cat who wandered in!
[05:49] ---
    Torneo-sama...
[05:51] ---
    Something's going
    on in the basement...
[05:53] ---
    The basement lab!
    Check it right away!
[05:56] ---
    Yes, sir!
[06:06] ---
    It's so quiet it's
    giving me the creeps.
[06:18] ---
    Man, I'm pathetic!
[06:20] ---
    He's fighting all those enemies
[06:23] ---
    while breaking
    all those security cameras!
[06:27] ---
    On top of that,
    he's also looking for Eve's room.
[06:31] ---
    Even still, I'm falling behind
    rather than catching up with him!
[06:34] ---
    If I don't do
    something, Eve will...
[06:40] ---
    Eve will...
[06:43] ---
    Eve will be...
[06:45] ---
    killed by him!
[06:47] ---
    I can't help it.
    I guess I'll use the right eye...
[06:54] ---
    Vision Eye!
[07:02] ---
    I wonder what this
    suspicious security lock is for...
[07:10] ---
    Ta-da! I spent a lot of
    money on this special card key,
[07:15] ---
    so it'd better open it...
[07:20] ---
    There we go!
[07:30] ---
    Eve, your prey's here.
[07:34] ---
    Prey?
[07:35] ---
    That's right, it's your prey.
[07:37] ---
    He's an assassin called Black Cat,
[07:40] ---
    who snuck into my vacation home the other day.
[07:43] ---
    He's after you.
[07:45] ---
    But you're it.
[07:48] ---
    It...
[07:49] ---
    That's right.
    You're it!
[07:54] ---
    I'm... it.
[07:58] ---
    You're it...
[08:00] ---
    It!
[08:03] ---
    It...
[08:13] ---
    Understand?
[08:15] ---
    You're it, so you hunt the prey!
[08:18] ---
    Damn Eve!
[08:20] ---
    She's just a bio-weapon, but she's
    started developing a sense of self?!
[08:26] ---
    Torneo-sama!
    He'll be here any moment!
[08:30] ---
    Got that, Eve?! You're it!
    You kill the prey!
[08:39] ---
    This is...
[08:41] ---
    Who did this?
[08:48] ---
    "Tips on how to make rolled omelets
    without turning it into toxic waste"?
[08:53] ---
    What the heck is this?
[08:55] ---
    Tearju Lunatique...
[08:57] ---
    If I remember correctly,
    she's an authority on nanotechnology...
[09:12] ---
    H-He's approaching Eve's
    room at unbelievable speed!
[09:15] ---
    It's only a matter of time...
[09:27] ---
    Flit, have the
    "NS amplifying oscillator" ready!
[09:31] ---
    But, that's still not ready yet...
[09:44] ---
    Yes, sir! Understood!
[09:51] ---
    All right, I'm ready for you!
[09:53] ---
    I'll show you what my work on
    nanotechnology weapons has produced!
[10:18] ---
    He's here!
[10:49] ---
    What is this place?!
    It's just like a monster museum!
[10:55] ---
    Let's see...
[10:57] ---
    "Nanotechnology composition
    through the ingestion of G-cells."
[11:00] ---
    And, this one says,
    "Fusion of cytoskeleton genes
[11:03] ---
    ingested with OD
    weapons and nanotechnology"?
[11:07] ---
    Looks like they've been doing all
    sorts of God-knows-what experiments...
[11:37] ---
    Well...
[11:44] ---
    Now, shall we go?
[11:47] ---
    I promised you...
[11:49] ---
    that we'll go out for good food, remember?
[11:58] ---
    It's a piece of candy.
    It's sweet, isn't it?
[12:02] ---
    Do you like it?
[12:08] ---
    O-Okay, then! Let's go eat
    something that tastes better!
[12:12] ---
    Let me see, hamburger steak...
[12:17] ---
    You know, we'd better
    get out of here soon, otherwise...
[12:25] ---
    Are you all right?!
    Are you all right?!
[12:33] ---
    Don't scare me like that!
[12:34] ---
    You have to keep the candy in your
    mouth until it becomes smaller, okay?
[12:42] ---
    Wh-What is it? H-Hey! Hey!
[12:49] ---
    My handkerchief...
[12:52] ---
    Ice cream...
[12:56] ---
    She ate it, and...
[12:58] ---
    used this... handkerchief...
[13:01] ---
    to wipe her...
[13:05] ---
    Oh, no! I don't want you
    to use that handkerchief!
[13:10] ---
    He's here!
[13:16] ---
    Go, Eve! It's time to play tag!
[13:21] ---
    Don't, Eve!
[13:25] ---
    I smell blood...
[13:29] ---
    I smell blood...
[13:33] ---
    I smell blood...
[13:36] ---
    I'm it...
[13:38] ---
    I'm it...
[13:41] ---
    I'm it...
[13:45] ---
    the ultimate bio-weapon...
[13:48] ---
    S-So, this is...
[13:50] ---
    Now, Eve! Take down
    Black Cat immediately!
[13:54] ---
    You're it!
[13:56] ---
    I'm it...
[13:59] ---
    Don't listen to him, Eve!
[14:01] ---
    You're not it!
[14:03] ---
    What're you doing?!
    Kill Black Cat already!!
[14:06] ---
    Shut up, Torneo!
    I won't let her kill anyone!
[14:10] ---
    Ha! Looks like a rat
    wandered in along with the cat...
[14:15] ---
    I'm not a rat!
    I'm a sweeper!
[14:19] ---
    Sweeper...
[14:20] ---
    C'mon, Eve!
    Let's go eat good food!
[14:24] ---
    Good food...
[14:35] ---
    I can't allow that. I'm sorry,
    but I have to kill her...
[14:39] ---
    Hmph... So you just do
    whatever your owner tells you?
[14:44] ---
    You saw it, right?
    She's dangerous.
[14:47] ---
    You kill dangerous people,
    even if they're children, huh?
[14:51] ---
    Man, Chronos is really...
[14:53] ---
    disgusting!!
[14:56] ---
    Let's go!
[15:01] ---
    Eve, what're you doing?
[15:03] ---
    Kill Black Cat now!!
[15:09] ---
    Don't tell me you're
    running away with that rat?
[15:18] ---
    I see...
[15:21] ---
    Eve!
[15:23] ---
    Flit!
    Yes, sir!
[15:25] ---
    What're you doing?! Do it!
[15:27] ---
    B-But...
[15:39] ---
    Torneo! What're you doing to Eve?!
[15:43] ---
    That card causes the nanomachines
    in Eve's body to go out of control.
[15:49] ---
    What?!
[15:58] ---
    Eve! Kill Black Cat!
[16:03] ---
    Don't, Eve!
[16:06] ---
    Don't let him get away, Eve!
[16:14] ---
    Flit, take away his briefcase...
[16:16] ---
    Y-Yes, sir!
[16:17] ---
    Since you don't
    need it anymore...
[16:22] ---
    What a brave sweeper you are,
    risking your life to come and see Eve...
[16:26] ---
    What do you want with Eve?
[16:28] ---
    What are you planning
    to do with Eve?!
[16:31] ---
    Oh? That's a silly question...
[16:34] ---
    Eve is a product of my
    research and my property.
[16:38] ---
    What happens to Eve
    is no one's business but mine.
[16:42] ---
    Eve isn't a human.
    She's a "weapon."
[16:47] ---
    Are you saying that Eve
    will become a monster?!
[16:53] ---
    What're you saying?
[16:54] ---
    She always has been a monster.
[16:58] ---
    Now, enough chatter.
[17:01] ---
    I think it's about time for you to die...
[17:19] ---
    What are you doing?
[17:24] ---
    Where... am I?
[17:28] ---
    What the heck's going on here?!
[17:30] ---
    What?!
[17:33] ---
    Now, Rins!!
[17:34] ---
    What is this?!
[17:42] ---
    What the heck is going on?!
[17:43] ---
    No time to explain!
[17:46] ---
    Eve will... Eve will
    become a monster!!
[17:54] ---
    Th-This is... Eve?!
[18:04] ---
    Stop it, Eve!
[18:08] ---
    It's no use.
[18:10] ---
    No matter what you
    say to Eve now, she won't hear it.
[18:14] ---
    No one can stop her
    until she kills Black Cat...
[18:19] ---
    No one can...
[18:21] ---
    Ha! Even in times like this, a gentleman...
[18:23] ---
    doesn't give up!!
[18:27] ---
    What?!
[18:31] ---
    Wait! What're you gonna do?!
[18:45] ---
    Hold on, Eve!
[18:48] ---
    Soon...
[18:53] ---
    I'll soon bring you
    back to your old self!!
[19:45] ---
    So, it was a failure...
[19:48] ---
    Torneo-sama!
[19:51] ---
    The basement lab is...!
[19:53] ---
    The lab?
[20:05] ---
    My life... turned to ashes...
[20:12] ---
    It's dangerous, Torneo-sama!
[20:19] ---
    Did you do that?
[20:22] ---
    No way...
[20:23] ---
    When I arrived at the lab,
     it was already destroyed...
[20:27] ---
    Destroyed? Black Cat?
[20:30] ---
    Maybe...
[20:32] ---
    But, you were planning
    to destroy it, too, right?
[20:36] ---
    It wasn't for money
    this time, right?
[20:42] ---
    I didn't really mean
    to hide it from you, but...
[20:45] ---
    The place where that military facility
    holding nanotechnology collapsed...
[20:49] ---
    Some time before that incident,
    I lived in that area for a little while.
[20:54] ---
    It was a peaceful
    town with pretty flowers...
[20:59] ---
    I see...
[20:59] ---
    More importantly,
    what're you gonna do with her?
[21:04] ---
    What?!
[21:05] ---
    Black Cat!
[21:06] ---
    Y-You!
[21:16] ---
    I don't shoot if I don't wanna shoot...
[21:19] ---
    Yes, that's the right answer!
[21:26] ---
    He...
[21:31] ---
    Train Heartnet...
[21:33] ---
    Although the event he
    staged was a bit flashy,
[21:36] ---
    apparently he's succeeded.
[21:39] ---
    It looks like it took
    a little longer than usual, too...
[21:42] ---
    When pursuing a mission, it has to be
    carried out efficiently and faithfully...
[21:46] ---
    Time and effort
    should not be wasted.
[21:49] ---
    Things worked out
    all right in the end.
[21:51] ---
    Everything went well.
    That's good enough, isn't it?
[22:02] ---
    Good evening!
[22:06] ---
    What?
[22:07] ---
    Did something good happen?
[22:10] ---
    Not really...
[22:11] ---
    I see...
[22:13] ---
    Oh yeah, I haven't asked
    you your name, have I?
[22:26] ---
    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!
[22:50] ---
    Please show yourself
[22:52] ---
    even if just a little
[22:56] ---
    Around the time the first evening star appears,
[22:59] ---
    I hear footsteps approaching
[23:02] ---
    The only time I can see you*
[23:05] ---
    s when the moon is shining*
[23:08] ---
    Please let me dream a little
[23:10] ---
    'Cause it'll become an illusion by morning
[23:14] ---
    Even though I know it, I still feel lonely
[23:17] ---
    The stars in the night sky are my tears
[23:23] ---
    You held me in your arms
[23:26] ---
    and your passionate lips met mine
[23:29] ---
    Please don't let go of me
[23:32] ---
    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,
[23:44] ---
    please stop time
[23:55] ---
    "Next Episode"
[23:56] ---
    All I see and hear is new to me.
[24:01] ---
    But, there seem to be a lot of
    difficulties in the outside world, too.
[24:05] ---
    The man who came
    to kill me before
[24:08] ---
    said he was going to
    leave the organization.
[24:11] ---
    I wonder if it has
    something to do with the fact
[24:13] ---
    that he didn't
    shoot me that time...
[24:16] ---
    Ah! Ramen!
[24:17] ---
    "The Departing Cat"
