    Hellsalem's Lot (noun)
[00:07] ---
    Formerly New York (NY). Three years ago, in the
[00:08] ---
    unprecedented disaster known as the
[00:08] ---
    Let's go on to our next song.
[00:10] ---
    'Collapse of New York,' a large hole opened up
[00:11] ---
    in the city's center
    that connected to another realm
[00:11] ---
    This hit number, released in 1967,
[00:13] ---
    known as the 'alterworld.' The world's attention
[00:13] ---
    is an eternal standard,
[00:15] ---
    has been focused on HL as a hyper-abnormal city,
[00:15] ---
    covered in the age of the alterworld
[00:18] ---
    mixing the alterworld and this world.
[00:18] ---
    by Zalmud Le Zamwell.
[00:21] ---
    When you happen to take
    a moment from your daily lives,
[00:23] ---
    and take in the view depicted by
    this song through compound eyes,
[00:27] ---
    you can't help but wish
    that the whole world were
[00:30] ---
    wrapped up in air as
    refreshing as it is, can you?
[00:35] ---
    Here at midday, please pause
    for just a moment, and listen to...
[00:39] ---
    "What a Wonderful Beyond."
[00:43] ---
    It's been nearly a month
    since I came to the city.
[00:48] ---
    My name is Leonardo Watch.
[00:52] ---
    I'm a regular guy who,
[00:54] ---
    by random chance, became a minor
    member of a certain organization.
[01:02] ---
    The organization's name is "Libra."
[01:04] ---
    It's a secret society that watches over
    the balance of worlds here in this city,
[01:08] ---
    which is teeming with monsters,
    beasts, and many other things.
[01:15] ---
    However, the whole picture with
    them is, like the city, shrouded in fog.
[01:20] ---
    I wonder just how many people there are
[01:22] ---
    carrying on what kind of
    battles out there every day.
[01:26] ---
    Will the day ever come when I find out?
[01:35] ---
    Today's the day I've got you, Chief!
[01:46] ---
    Good morning, Leonardo.
[01:49] ---
    This man always tries to take me
    down whenever there's an opening.
[01:54] ---
    But he's sincerely trying to
    kill me, so it can create problems.
[01:59] ---
    Goddamn it!
[02:15] ---
    I don't get this at all.
[02:18] ---
    Hellsalem's Lot--a city where this
    world and the alterworld intersect.
[02:23] ---
    This is the record of
    the clandestine activities
[02:26] ---
    of the secret society of supermen,
    Libra, which works in the shadows
[02:30] ---
    to preserve the balance of worlds.
[02:33] ---
    Upon opening the door,
    I found a twisted noontime evening
[02:37] ---
    How did I get home yesterday?
    My body's the only thing I'm sure of
[02:42] ---
    Good morning; I'll carry on
    with being lost once more
[02:46] ---
    among the unknown sights
    that have become so familiar
[03:00] ---
    After I figured all was lost,
    I've been getting by somehow,
[03:04] ---
    somewhat embarrassed to
    be tough enough to still be alive
[03:09] ---
    I know what I have to do, even if I forget
[03:13] ---
    Otherwise, things become so agonizing
[03:18] ---
    I look up to see someone with big black eyes
[03:23] ---
    It's because I saw you
    that this light came to be
[03:27] ---
    Surrounded by a world
    painted in colors of my choosing,
[03:32] ---
    where do I find meaning in
    the scars I could not choose?
[03:36] ---
    In the heart of a world
    where only I am the hero,
[03:41] ---
    I'm onstage, appearing
    in every scene until the end
[03:45] ---
    What do I do? I can't
    even pretend to be empty
[03:50] ---
    Hello, hi there, here I am
[03:55] ---
    Blood Blockade Battlefront
[04:04] ---
    "The All-seeing Eyes of the Gods."
[04:06] ---
    It's said that whoever possesses
    these eyes can gaze into the past,
[04:10] ---
    and even peer into the future.
[04:13] ---
    They are largely a mystery,
[04:15] ---
    but they are a prime artifact,
    even throughout the alterworld.
[04:19] ---
    There are many characters who will
    try to get them, no matter what it takes.
[04:24] ---
    Especially once it gets out
    that he's a member of Libra.
[04:31] ---
    I just hope this doesn't end poorly.
[04:40] ---
    I guess I can't take that road today, huh?
[04:42] ---
    After the Phantom Ghost Wagon
[05:04] ---
    Don't cry, Michella.
[05:21] ---
    Yeah?
[05:22] ---
    Thank you for your order!
    It's Dogimo's Pizza!
[05:26] ---
    Okay.
[05:42] ---
    Hi, there!
[05:47] ---
    Give it back!
[05:48] ---
    Ah, this is good! The rest aside,
    Dogimo's cheese is first-rate.
[05:53] ---
    Please give it back!
[05:56] ---
    If you're not going to pay for it, give it back!
[06:00] ---
    My, what's the matter with that boy?
[06:03] ---
    Is he a trespasser?
[06:38] ---
    I've had it! Why are you
    always there wherever I go?!
[06:41] ---
    Because you always come
    to wherever I am, pube-head.
[06:45] ---
    Wait, by any chance, are you
    a stalker? Maybe I should kill you.
[06:49] ---
    Oh...
[06:51] ---
    Score!
[06:52] ---
    Are you sure you should be
    using your deadly skills for that?
[06:56] ---
    You idiot. You know, a samurai will
    use his sword to cut a daikon radish
[07:00] ---
    if he doesn't have a knife.
[07:02] ---
    I saw it on Yo! Tube.
[07:10] ---
    Is your ability to manipulate your
    blood the same as Mr. Klaus's?
[07:15] ---
    More or less.
[07:18] ---
    But the effects differ,
    depending on the style used.
[07:20] ---
    The chief's is particularly nasty.
[07:23] ---
    To some folks, it's their worst nightmare.
[07:26] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[07:34] ---
    Ow, man! Watch it, you idiot!
[07:38] ---
    Mr. Zapp...
[07:39] ---
    Huh?
[07:40] ---
    What is that?
[07:41] ---
    What is it? It's a dry cleaner's truck.
[07:45] ---
    You don't say. That's what it looks like?
[07:54] ---
    You don't mean you're...
[07:55] ---
    Yes, I am. That is correct.
[08:05] ---
    I can see something completely different.
[08:13] ---
    Hey!
[08:14] ---
    We're getting out of here. Our eyes met.
[08:17] ---
    For all I can tell, you're totally neurotic.
[08:21] ---
    So frustrating...
[08:27] ---
    What is it? Ready to die, silver monkey?
[08:30] ---
    I'm not dying, she-bitch.
[08:32] ---
    There's a two-ton dry cleaner's
    truck on Gilda Street. Track it.
[08:36] ---
    Yeah, Leo says he can see something else.
[08:40] ---
    Probably someone sneaking something
    under the cloak of high-level illusionry.
[08:46] ---
    No, it ain't that.
[08:48] ---
    At least, I don't think it's a mental disorder.
[08:51] ---
    Hey, cut that out!
    He's sitting right in front of me!
[09:08] ---
    Mr. Zapp!
[09:11] ---
    Apparently, you're the
    only one who can see me, kid.
[09:17] ---
    Hey, Shiboroba,
    someone saw through your illusion.
[09:21] ---
    We can't take even the outside chance
[09:24] ---
    that word of our precious
    stock-in-trade gets out, can we?
[09:34] ---
    Copy that. We study him without killing him.
[09:49] ---
    Hey, what's the matter? Are you all right?!
[09:52] ---
    It's up to you now, dog lady.
[09:54] ---
    I did what I could, but there's
    no guarantee it will work.
[09:58] ---
    We're counting on your nose now.
[10:09] ---
    Oh, no!
[10:12] ---
    I lost sight of it!
[10:18] ---
    Just how much of you is normal kid, anyway?
[10:22] ---
    What about you?
    What the hell are you up to?!
[10:27] ---
    Are these people alive?
[10:30] ---
    These are for eating. They're being
    preserved in vacuum packs.
[10:34] ---
    That can't be! Cannibalism is prohibited
    under the Chrysler-Galadona Accord.
[10:40] ---
    That's why we're going
    to all this trouble, you idiot.
[10:46] ---
    What's going on here? No fighting, now.
[10:51] ---
    There's no way you'll get--
[10:53] ---
    We'll get away with this? Why not?
[10:56] ---
    You are the only one in this whole
    city who saw through my illusion.
[11:02] ---
    And look what happened to you!
[11:06] ---
    Oh, my! The All-seeing Eyes of the Gods!
[11:10] ---
    Yeah, acknowledged. Got it. Don't worry.
[11:14] ---
    It looks like this guy is just too tricky.
[11:16] ---
    I mean, he's someone who could
    as much as alter the whole world.
[11:19] ---
    Yeah, so, you know... how can I say this?
[11:24] ---
    Stop crying, Chain!
[11:25] ---
    Did they change the
    vehicle's make along the way?
[11:31] ---
    It was an illusion that even
    fooled the invisible werewolf,
[11:34] ---
    but Leo's eyes were able
    to see through even that.
[11:39] ---
    Man, this is a real mess.
[11:44] ---
    For both friend and foe.
[11:46] ---
    Ah! What an exquisite
    work of art! I can't wait!
[11:51] ---
    I want to hurry and finish our work,
    so I can immerse myself in your dissection!
[12:06] ---
    To the alterworld
[12:18] ---
    Ugh... Sonic...
[12:22] ---
    Where are we now?
    Where are we passing through?
[12:28] ---
    The fog is thick.
    We've gone in this deep, have we?
[12:37] ---
    I have to let Mr. Klaus
    and the others know quickly.
[12:48] ---
    How embarrassing--
[12:50] ---
    relying on them without a second thought.
[12:55] ---
    It's like nothing at all has changed, has it?
[13:00] ---
    I have to...
[13:03] ---
    I have to do something on my own.
[13:06] ---
    I'm a member of Libra now, after all!
[13:15] ---
    But what the hell am I supposed to do?!
[13:18] ---
    I'm just a powerless, regular guy
    with good eyes and no killer skills!
[13:25] ---
    My eyes?!
[13:27] ---
    Zapp is the only one they brought in.
[13:29] ---
    I think it's safe to say
    that Leo has been abducted.
[13:33] ---
    Also, I'd like you to hear
    something from the attending doctor.
[13:38] ---
    There's something not
    right about this patient.
[13:40] ---
    It's creeping out the nurses.
    Could it just be his constitution?
[13:45] ---
    Do you know anything about this?
[13:47] ---
    As soon as we give him a
    blood transfusion, it goes away--
[13:51] ---
    the blood, I mean.
[13:53] ---
    Way to go, Zapp!
[14:00] ---
    Whoa! What's going on?!
[14:02] ---
    A monkey, appearing right before our eyes?!
[14:08] ---
    Chase them using his blood?
[14:10] ---
    That's right.
[14:11] ---
    Zapp is currently extending the
    blood from his body like a thread,
[14:14] ---
    and following the invisible
    vehicle from the alterworld with it.
[14:19] ---
    That's the reason why the blood
    that gets transfused is vanishing.
[14:23] ---
    Frankly, it's a superhuman move.
[14:25] ---
    I know what he's usually like,
[14:27] ---
    but to be honest, the guy's a virtuoso.
[14:30] ---
    But it takes so much focus that
    as long as the vehicle is moving,
[14:35] ---
    he can't do anything else.
[14:38] ---
    You damn brat!
[14:40] ---
    What the hell have you done to us?!
[14:42] ---
    What's with the monkey?!
[14:47] ---
    However, they will stop at some point.
[15:10] ---
    Once he gets up and
    ignites the thread, you're on.
[15:14] ---
    Go after him, no matter what it takes.
[15:16] ---
    We'll track your GPS signal
    and take the shortest route to you.
[15:22] ---
    Enough! You're too big a hassle!
[15:26] ---
    Piss off; just leave me your eyeballs.
[15:29] ---
    Get fired up. No matter how
    far into the alterworld's heart he is,
[15:34] ---
    we'll be sure to reach there.
[15:37] ---
    The terror of getting on Libra's bad side
[15:39] ---
    is something these guys who stuck
    out their tongues and screwed us over
[15:43] ---
    will experience in spades.
[15:48] ---
    Say your prayers... you filthy bastard...
[15:53] ---
    Huh?
[15:57] ---
    Don't blame me...
    if you start blowing chunks!
[16:09] ---
    Plain eyeballs!
[16:35] ---
    Don't screw this up,
[16:36] ---
    dog lady.
[17:42] ---
    Cram it down his throat, Klaus!
[17:47] ---
    Brain Grid Blood Battle Technique, Form 111!
[17:57] ---
    Kreuzvernichterlanze!!
[18:03] ---
    Brain Grid Blood Battle Technique,
    Form 111 Vernichterlanze
[18:17] ---
    We located 19 missing persons,
[18:20] ---
    and captured three dimwits and
    one vehicle in violation of treaty.
[18:24] ---
    Though they're all in little pieces.
[18:26] ---
    But, consequently,
    we did a fine job, didn't we?
[18:30] ---
    Most of all, a level of illusionry we
    didn't even know about before today
[18:34] ---
    has been brought to light.
[18:36] ---
    This is huge.
[18:38] ---
    Right now, they're
    trembling with fear all over.
[18:41] ---
    Both out here and in there.
[18:43] ---
    Everything turned out fine. Congratulations!
[18:46] ---
    My, my, my, my, my,
    I mean, congratulations?
[18:49] ---
    You call this congratulatory?
[18:52] ---
    Try to hold yourselves back.
[18:54] ---
    Well done, lad! I'd like to
    give you credit for the guts it took
[18:59] ---
    to try to escape on your own.
[19:02] ---
    Although, one thing we
    can't forget from all of this
[19:05] ---
    is Zapp's marvelous feat. Did you set
    him up beforehand to be his bodyguard?
[19:10] ---
    Mr. Zapp, no smoking.
[19:12] ---
    Yeah, yeah...
[19:14] ---
    No, actually...
[19:16] ---
    You've gotta be kidding, Chief.
[19:18] ---
    If you're that worried about him, you can keep
    him with you around the clock, can't you?
[19:21] ---
    My duties do not include babysitting.
[19:25] ---
    And, in that general fashion,
[19:28] ---
    he refused me outright.
    I'm afraid this is all on me.
[19:39] ---
    Klaus, you need to get better at
    winning others' hearts and minds.
[19:46] ---
    Did you think Zapp would
    give you a straight answer
[19:49] ---
    when asked in as direct a manner as that?
[19:53] ---
    Mr. Zapp, no smoking.
[19:55] ---
    Yeah, yeah...
[19:57] ---
    So that's it.
[19:58] ---
    I get it now.
[20:02] ---
    He did all that for me.
[20:06] ---
    Thank you very much, Mr. Zapp.
[20:10] ---
    Thank you very much.
[20:20] ---
    Yeah, like that's what I'm
    going to think, you ass hat!
[20:32] ---
    We'll observe you for two or
    three more days, and then you're out.
[20:35] ---
    Congratulations.
[20:37] ---
    Yeah.
[21:09] ---
    What is this place?
[21:25] ---
    A cemetery at a hospital?
[21:31] ---
    That's morbid.
[21:38] ---
    You're right. That's why
    nobody but me comes here.
[21:45] ---
    But then, don't you think it's
    futile to live in fear of death?
[21:50] ---
    I mean, everyone is going to die sometime,
[21:52] ---
    so is there any point in pretending
    not to see it for the present?
[21:57] ---
    Or instead...
[21:59] ---
    I wonder if they think it doesn't concern
    them, since they aren't going to die.
[22:05] ---
    Which way do you think, Leonardo Watch?
[22:11] ---
    Who...
[22:13] ---
    are you?
[22:16] ---
    I'm White!
[22:19] ---
    I'm a ghost!
[22:22] ---
    Let's be friends, Leonardo!
[22:36] ---
    Accustomed to the supernatural
    disaster-like madness,
[22:39] ---
    I mistake my daily life for peace
[22:42] ---
    As this rambling coaster
    jolts me back and forth,
[22:46] ---
    what is it that I mustn't lose sight of?
[22:50] ---
    Swallowed up by the concept
    of egalitarian fundamentalism,
[22:53] ---
    feels like even my soul is so much et cetera
[22:57] ---
    Have to clearly state what
    you love and what you hate
[23:01] ---
    or you're not all that different than a dummy
[23:04] ---
    Ah, crowds of people
    walking the streets at night
[23:08] ---
    some seem to be so happy,
    some seem to be so lonely
[23:12] ---
    The contrast jumps around the music staff
[23:17] ---
    creating the song and rhythm
[23:19] ---
    Marmalade and sugar song,
    peanuts and bitter step
[23:23] ---
    So sweet and then so acrid,
    it makes my head spin
[23:27] ---
    Let's head south-southwest
    and keep this party going
[23:30] ---
    to make it a night
    that will astonish the world
[23:34] ---
    I feel fantastic, a chain of reflections
[23:41] ---
    Marmalade and sugar song,
    peanuts and bitter step
[23:44] ---
    So sweet and then so acrid,
    it makes my head spin
[23:48] ---
    Let's head south-southwest
    and keep this party going
[23:52] ---
    to make it a night
    that will astonish the world
[23:56] ---
    I feel fantastic,
    the chain of reflections goes on
[24:00] ---
    From one good time,
    to a problem, to another good time
[24:07] ---
    I am Yahabio, humble courier, at your service.
[24:11] ---
    Today, I've ended up couriering
    the next episode preview.
[24:14] ---
    I'm sure there are some of you out there
[24:16] ---
    who are wondering, "Why are we listening
    to someone who died during the episode?"
[24:23] ---
    Don't sweat such petty things. It'll kill you.
[24:26] ---
    Next time on Blood Blockade Battlefront,
[24:28] ---
    "A Game Between Two Worlds."
[24:30] ---
    The upshot is this--
    whoever wins is the victor!
[24:33] ---
    A Game Between Two Worlds
[24:33] ---
    There's no other way, is there?
[24:36] ---
