[00:10] ---
    Hello, Michella. How are you?
    Your brother is doing well.
[00:19] ---
    It's been quite a while
    since I came to this city.
[00:34] ---
    This place is as crowded
    and messy as it has always been,
[00:38] ---
    a bustling city where abnormal is normal.
[00:41] ---
    That goes for today, too...
[00:46] ---
    Ugh, there sure isn't much in here.
[01:05] ---
    Hey! My name is Leo! Leonardo Watch!
[01:09] ---
    No it's not! I'm Leo! Leonardo Watch!
[01:13] ---
    I'm currently falling,
    at an altitude of 600 meters!
[01:16] ---
    In a matter of seconds, I'm going to die!
[01:24] ---
    Th-Thank you very much, Mr. Zapp!
[01:27] ---
    What do you think you're doing?
[01:29] ---
    And come on, what are you
    making me play Piderman for?!
[01:32] ---
    Well, I was suddenly
    kidnapped and knocked out,
[01:35] ---
    and when I came to, I was in mid-air,
    with this on my head!
[01:38] ---
    What is this?
[01:40] ---
    Wow, this is a pretty cute thing
    you have inside your hat!
[01:43] ---
    Quite a masterpiece!
[01:58] ---
    H-How cute!
[02:06] ---
    Hi, ladies and gentlemen!
[02:07] ---
    It's your King of Depravity, F-E-M-T!
[02:14] ---
    My dear unwashed, uncultured,
    zero-aspiration rabble,
[02:18] ---
    I've grown bored of poker lately.
[02:21] ---
    Which is why, as I was cooking
    my bacon and eggs for breakfast,
[02:25] ---
    I synthesized some new demonbeasts
    with my unoccupied left hand.
[02:30] ---
    They fall apart and die six hours,
    six minutes, and six seconds
[02:33] ---
    after achieving their larval form,
[02:34] ---
    but in the meantime,
    they grow up nice and strong.
[02:36] ---
    Ridiculously so!
[02:38] ---
    Anyhow, they're big eaters.
[02:40] ---
    They chew up whatever
    gets into their mouths,
[02:42] ---
    digest it, and convert it
    to nutrients in record time.
[02:46] ---
    Then they grow like
    gangbusters, so watch out.
[02:49] ---
    All right, well, give it your best out there!
[02:52] ---
    One for nonsense, all for nonsense!
[02:59] ---
    I know! You're that kind of man!
    But I'm sorry! Don't run away!
[03:09] ---
    Now what do we do?! It's cracked!
[03:15] ---
    Incidentally, I'm planning to binge
    watch all of BBC Earth tonight,
[03:20] ---
    so make sure to settle this by then.
[03:23] ---
    But if, before that happens,
    these things grow exponentially,
[03:27] ---
    and only a tenth of the earth's
    population remains, I'll bust a gut!
[03:31] ---
    This isn't one bit funny!
[03:34] ---
    Ah... Ah, crap.
[03:40] ---
    Get down, you two!

[04:02] ---
    Hey!
[04:03] ---
    You just completely stepped
    on my attack name, didn't you?!
[04:05] ---
    Right when it really mattered, too!
[04:07] ---
    Sorry about that, K.K.
[04:09] ---
    Still, there wasn't much choice, was there?
[04:11] ---
    Come on, you couldn't tell what
    was going on there, could you?
[04:17] ---
    This is Chain. There's a
    super-sized new demonbeast
[04:20] ---
    bearing down on you at the moment.
[04:21] ---
    What?
[04:22] ---
    Another ten seconds and--
[04:34] ---
    We're surrounded on all sides.
[04:36] ---
    What do we do, Klaus?
[04:42] ---
    I have to go apply...
[04:44] ---
    Huh? Hey!
[04:45] ---
    ...my Brain Grid Blood Battle Technique!
[04:50] ---
    Everyone, line up single file!
[04:53] ---
    Yeah, yeah.

[05:04] ---
    "Unbreakable Cross Shield"
[05:33] ---
    Michella,
[05:35] ---
    the city today is... I mean,
[05:39] ---
    I'm doing fine today.
[05:48] ---
    I’m sane, but it’s trick or treat?
[05:50] ---
    I’m right, but it’s truth certainly
[05:52] ---
    Well then “awesome!” welcome to tragedy
[05:55] ---
    Fake town, Fake town, baby?
[06:07] ---
    I’m sane, but it’s trick or treat?
[06:10] ---
    I’m right, but it’s truth certainly
[06:12] ---
    Well then “awesome!” welcome to tragedy
[06:15] ---
    Fake town, Fake town, baby?
[06:17] ---
    Giving in to emotion is an utter waste
[06:20] ---
    A moment's solace
    is an immediate nuisance
[06:22] ---
    Hello me, hello you, there are no timeouts
[06:25] ---
    Fake town, Fake town
[06:27] ---
    See, I don't even know when
[06:29] ---
    I started thinking this way
[06:32] ---
    I'd gotten myself so ready to be a winner,
[06:34] ---
    it's a shame about the pandemonium
[06:37] ---
    I've forgotten what my percentage
    is at finding happiness
[06:41] ---
    There's no God, I don't want one,
    even if there was
[06:44] ---
    Whose "you are here" is this?
[06:47] ---
    You decide whether it's bitter or sweet
[06:51] ---
    "I hate what I hate, buzz off, shut up"
[06:54] ---
    You're probably well past
    getting by like that
[06:57] ---
    In this town, if all you do is complain
[06:59] ---
    the rule is that no one
    will give you the time of day
[07:03] ---
    Ah, just get in on this call
    or drop of a lifetime
[07:06] ---
    Even man-eating ghouls
    are clapping their hands
[07:09] ---
    Here's the round of applause
    you've been waiting for
[07:14] ---
    Here are the foolproof winning odds
    you've been waiting for
[07:28] ---

    Welcome, welcome,
[07:53] ---
    to the new bridge
    between the two worlds,
[07:56] ---
    American Presidential
    Envoy Franz Ackerman!
[07:59] ---
    Welcome, welcome!
[08:01] ---
    The ceremony is scheduled
    to be held tonight,
[08:04] ---
    beginning at 7:00 p.m., at Federal Hall.
[08:09] ---
    X!
[08:10] ---
    X-Station!
[08:12] ---
    Double-X! Double-X!
[08:16] ---
    Ugh... Sorry. I'm sorry, Michella,
[08:20] ---
    for buying something like this
    instead of increasing your allowance.
[08:24] ---
    But... that's all because of...
[08:26] ---
    Hard Dive 4! This is...
[08:29] ---
    This is... the series that changed my life.
[08:33] ---
    It's the first new release in four years!
[08:36] ---
    And with that...
[08:37] ---
    Food, check!
[08:39] ---
    Drinks, check!
[08:40] ---
    Never-made bed, check!
[08:44] ---
    Now then...
[08:47] ---
    Ah, crap.
[08:49] ---
    Ah, crap! Ah, crap! My hand... My hand...!
[08:55] ---
    Yes, Leonardo.
[08:56] ---
    Where are now, pube-head?
[08:57] ---
    Huh? At home.
[08:59] ---
    Huh?! Don't give me a
    gutless answer, I'll kill you!
[09:03] ---
    Eh?! This is my first full
    day off in a while!
[09:06] ---
    Thirty more seconds!
[09:07] ---
    Huh?
[09:08] ---
    Open your window facing
    the street right now!
[09:23] ---
    Catch, pube-head!
[09:30] ---
    Ow-w-w...
[09:36] ---
    Are you a huma--
[09:39] ---
    Why the hell is he throwing stuff
    into my home and then leaving?!
[09:42] ---
    I can hear you, Leonardo the Pube-head.
[09:46] ---
    Shut up! And stop giving
    me funny nicknames!
[09:48] ---
    Whatever, just deliver that to the office.
[09:51] ---
    Huh?
[09:51] ---
    I've got some troublemakers
    chasing me right at the moment.
[09:54] ---
    Huh?
[09:55] ---
    Well, we'll take care of these guys.
[09:58] ---
    Oh, I forgot to mention, don't look inside.
[10:02] ---
    It's too late for that.
[10:18] ---
    Excuse me, but what
    are you doing in there,
[10:22] ---
    American Presidential Envoy
    Franz Ackerman?
[10:27] ---
    I don't think that we ought
    to shake the feeling
[10:30] ---
    that this is something surreal, Klaus.
[10:33] ---
    You are correct, Steven.
[10:36] ---
    It was a single moment.
[10:38] ---
    A nightmare--no, even more
    incomprehensible than a nightmare.
[10:43] ---
    In all likelihood, this is the
    work of Headless Duke Durer.
[10:47] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[10:48] ---
    Durer? You don't mean, the one from
    "D's Elegant Exhibition Room"?
[10:54] ---
    It's a popular site,
    and no matter how many times
[10:56] ---
    the government tries to
    restrict access, it can't keep up.
[11:00] ---
    Live cameras set in front of live heads
    numbering in the hundreds--
[11:05] ---
    Is Franz inside this exhibit, too,
    where you can converse with him?
[11:08] ---
    This is bad. This is really bad.
[11:12] ---
    This is no place for both
    worlds to meet halfway.
[11:15] ---
    At worst, it could mean war.
[11:17] ---
    Now, now, we're here to
    make sure that doesn't happen.
[11:23] ---
    I promise you, we will regain
    Franz Ackerman's head...
[11:28] ---
    ...in time for the ceremony!
[11:31] ---
    You seem to recognize me.
[11:34] ---
    Yes, well...
[11:36] ---
    That brown-skinned gentlemen
    before didn't give any indication.
[11:40] ---
    Yeah, sorry about that.
[11:41] ---
    I'll bet Mr. Zapp would barely
    recognize even the president.
[11:44] ---
    For that matter, he saw
    inside here, didn't he?!
[11:48] ---
    Pardon me, but could I
    borrow your cell phone?
[11:50] ---
    Huh?
[11:51] ---
    I'd like to inform my
    colleagues that I am here.
[11:55] ---
    Oh, sure, okay.
[12:25] ---
    M-My home... My...
[12:28] ---
    X-Station! Double-X!
    Double-X! Double-X!
[12:35] ---
    Don't yell so loud. What if they find us?
[12:38] ---
    What do you want me to say?
[12:40] ---
    You know, this is an
    extremely serious situation.
[12:43] ---
    I wasn't expecting the enemy
    to be among our ranks.
[12:46] ---
    What do we do?
[12:47] ---
    We can't call for help,
    since my smartphone is gone.
[12:50] ---
    A cell phone's faint signal
    can give away our position.
[12:53] ---
    Abandoning it is to be expected.
[12:56] ---
    We have no other alternative, Leonardo.
[12:59] ---
    You must deliver me to my colleagues.
[13:01] ---
    Huh?
[13:02] ---
    Once you do, the government
    will cover your losses.
[13:06] ---
    What do you say?
[13:11] ---
    Okay, I'm going!
[13:15] ---
    "Lights, Camera, Action!"
[13:19] ---
    Whoo!
[13:21] ---
    What a mess this is.
[13:25] ---
    I see. Acknowledged.
[13:28] ---
    Garrett has arrived at the location.
[13:30] ---
    However, the room appears to have
    been destroyed in an explosion.
[13:34] ---
    You're sure that's the address
    the envoy was calling from?
[13:38] ---
    Yes, we're sure.
[13:40] ---
    No answer.
[13:42] ---
    Leonardo...
[13:44] ---
    Are you serious?!
[13:46] ---
    It's my fault for tossing
    the package to him?!
[13:49] ---
    Damn that pube-headed idiot turd!
    What an unceremonious way to go out...
[13:54] ---
    I'll send you to your death!
[13:58] ---
    I'm not gonna have it!
[14:04] ---
    Why are you so quick to assume he's dead?
[14:07] ---
    Let's finish this up quickly
    and go look for him.
[14:09] ---
    Huh...?
[14:12] ---
    Yes. Yeah, it's a big kerfuffle.
[14:16] ---
    The Gargambino Family,
[14:18] ---
    the Snakebite Clan...
[14:20] ---
    ...the Screaming Reverse
    Executioners Mutual Aid Society...
[14:23] ---
    ...as well as the trade show for
    unidentified outlaw organizations.
[14:26] ---
    Indeed.
[14:27] ---
    It looks like Durer is posting
    a fairly high reward.
[14:31] ---
    Yeah.
[14:34] ---
    Find it! It's a 20-inch-square
    duralumin case!
[14:38] ---
    Apparently, there's a kid carrying it!
[14:40] ---
    Doesn't matter! If you see him,
    shoot him on sight and take it!
[14:49] ---
    Hey, Leo!
[14:51] ---
    --What are you up to? Sneaking
    around with a huge briefcase?
[14:54] ---
    Too loud, too loud! You're being too loud!
[14:57] ---
    Oh I just remembered, you've got
    this Saturday available, right?
[15:01] ---
    Switch shifts with me, okay?
[15:03] ---
    Huh?
[15:05] ---
    The girl I picked up yesterday?
    She's hot to trot!
[15:11] ---
    Well? You're free, right--
[15:16] ---
    Hold it, you!
[15:22] ---
    Found you!
[15:24] ---
    Just keep on running.
[15:28] ---
    Out of my way, you dirty broad!
[15:36] ---
    Patient case:
[15:39] ---
    "Heart Attack!"
[15:40] ---
    Heart Attack!
[15:48] ---
    Huh? You say not to go that way?
[15:56] ---
    Mr. Brigade!
[16:00] ---
    Starphase? Subject in custody.
[16:00] ---
    I'm saved! Thank you!
[16:03] ---
    Huh? Deliver the package
    to the hall directly by 7:00?
[16:03] ---
    Someday, I swear, I will pay you
    back for this, in installments...
[16:08] ---
    Yeah, copy that.
[16:08] ---
    Yes, in full...
[16:10] ---
    Leo, we're running over to Federal Hall.
[16:13] ---
    Huh?!
[16:16] ---
    Mr. Brigade!
[16:19] ---
    Over here, Leonardo!
[16:20] ---
    But...!
[16:21] ---
    It's okay!
[16:22] ---
    His ultra-high-test coat
    just arrived in the mail today,
[16:25] ---
    and it's the latest model! He's lucky!
[16:29] ---
    I don't feel at all lucky!
[16:45] ---
    Don't stop! Keep running!
[16:56] ---
    A-Ah, crap.
[16:58] ---
    Leo!
[16:59] ---
    Duck!
[17:36] ---
    Ha-ha, I have to say, at first,
    I didn't think you were a good fit,
[17:41] ---
    but I was wrong.
[17:42] ---
    Huh?
[17:43] ---
    You. For this city.
[17:48] ---
    Were you a resident here
    from before the Collapse?
[17:50] ---
    No, I wasn't. I came of my own accord.
[17:53] ---
    So you're a thrill seeker?
[17:55] ---
    No.
[17:56] ---
    Were you running away from something?
[17:59] ---
    No.
[18:00] ---
    Then why?
[18:11] ---
    Is something the matter?
[18:13] ---
    Never mind me,
    what's it like on the outside?
[18:15] ---
    The outside?
[18:17] ---
    Oh, still nothing but fear and trepidation.
[18:20] ---
    After all, the world's greatest
    metropolis was suddenly lost,
[18:23] ---
    and a rogue state suddenly
    sprang up within our borders.
[18:27] ---
    The hoi polloi are behaving outrageously,
    thinking that this is their chance.
[18:31] ---
    It's an absolute joke.
[18:33] ---
    This is the interior of the world's
    greatest sovereign nation!
[18:36] ---
    Are you planning to rail
    at them with speeches?
[18:39] ---
    Ha-ha, of course not.
[18:42] ---
    I see it!
[18:46] ---
    We're finally there--
[18:50] ---
    Watch out!
[18:58] ---
    Would you cut it out already, guys?
    You're gonna get Leo killed--
[19:02] ---
    Huh?
[19:03] ---
    Deldro, where did he go?
[19:06] ---
    Dunno.
[19:16] ---
    Ow-w-w...
[19:23] ---
    "Tough Luck
    Former Location"
[19:26] ---
    It's hopeless! For the first time
    in a while, I can't take this!
[19:30] ---
    Leonardo, stand up
    and start running again.
[19:33] ---
    I can't do it anymore!
[19:35] ---
    Don't cry! Run! If you're going to whine,
    you can whine all you want,
[19:39] ---
    after you've become a loser!
[19:40] ---
    What is this?! How can you be
    so strong?! You're just a head!
[19:46] ---
    Not being allowed to do as one wishes
    is the mark of the politician.
[19:52] ---
    Willingly backing down while
    any possibility still remains,
[19:55] ---
    is unreasonable beyond reason!
[19:57] ---
    Take a good look around you and think!
[19:59] ---
    There must be something you can still do!
[20:06] ---
    Grab hold of the most important outcome!
[20:17] ---
    Just a little over 800
    meters to Federal Hall!
[20:26] ---
    I'm just going to keep charging through!
[20:27] ---
    Wait! We need to be more cautious!
[20:29] ---
    There's no time for that!
[20:40] ---
    Nicely done, Master Leonardo.
[20:46] ---
    Huh?
[20:48] ---
    Well done. So glad to see
    you're safe, Leonardo.
[20:53] ---
    Hand the head over here.
[20:55] ---
    Hmm? That voice--
[20:57] ---
    Rachel? Why would you
    pull something this foolish?!
[21:01] ---
    Thinking you can meet
    these monsters halfway
[21:04] ---
    is a far more foolish idea.
[21:06] ---
    What did you say?!
[21:09] ---
    You humans are so fascinating.
    For people who call us monsters,
[21:13] ---
    you use each other, and contend
    among your own kind.
[21:17] ---
    Excuse me...
[21:19] ---
    What exactly are you doing?
[21:21] ---
    Hmm?
[21:22] ---
    No, I don't mean you.
[21:24] ---
    I meant Mr. Klaus and Mr. Steven.
[21:27] ---
    It isn't like that, Leonardo.
[21:29] ---
    We were just being mindful, so as not
    to invite any unnecessary chaos.
[21:33] ---
    Mindful?
[21:36] ---
    That's a pretty relaxed statement,
    under the circumstances.
[21:41] ---
    Miss Washington,
[21:43] ---
    forgive me, but I've just decided
    to remove everyone's heads.
[21:57] ---
    Did you really think that you
[21:59] ---
    could take us from behind
    without us being ready for you?
[22:07] ---
    "Annihilating Lance"
[22:09] ---
    Sorry, but we have no time
    to entertain you any longer.
[22:17] ---
    The United States cannot
    contain our excitement
[22:20] ---
    to have a new world born
    within our country.
[22:23] ---
    However, this city,
    with its limitless possibilities...
[22:30] ---
    I have to discuss my upcoming
    compensation with the envoy.
[22:34] ---
    What are you talking about?
[22:36] ---
    Having that nest of demons
    knowing where you hang your hat
[22:39] ---
    would be suicide.
[22:40] ---
    Huh?
[22:41] ---
    Our mission has been safely carried out.
[22:44] ---
    For now, that's enough.
[22:46] ---
    Yeah, but my home...
[22:47] ---
    You could always stay at the office again.
[22:50] ---
    The request for your replacement
    cell phone is already completed.
[22:54] ---
    Yeah, but... I mean...
[22:58] ---
    X!
[22:59] ---
    X! Double-X! Double-X!
[22:59] ---
    In this movie I saw the other day,
    they closed it out with shawarma.
[23:03] ---
    It looked really good, Deldro.
[23:03] ---
    X! Double-X! Double-X!
[23:05] ---
    For real?
[23:08] ---
    Hellsalem's Lot--a city where this
    world and the alterworld intersect.
[23:12] ---
    This is the record of the
    clandestine activities
[23:15] ---
    of the secret society of supermen,
    Libra, who work in the shadows
[23:19] ---
    to preserve the balance of worlds.
[23:37] ---
    And so,
[23:38] ---
    this is the story of me, and the people...
[23:43] ---
    ...who showed some hope in me.
[23:45] ---
    It's been three years
    since the Great Collapse.
[23:47] ---
    At first, we didn't know
    what would happen,
[23:49] ---
    but right now, we consider the
    abnormal to be this city's BGM.
[23:52] ---
    That's just the way that people
    acclimatize and change,
[23:56] ---
    but, Klaus, you never change, do you?
