[00:00] ---
    Two gallos of nemesis coffee,
[00:03] ---
    three gallos of Xestaro
    pasta 1.8, in six packs,
[00:07] ---
    one gallo of eyeball onions...
[00:10] ---
    ...one gallo of ogrehorn carrots,
[00:12] ---
    18 gallos of condensed liver...
[00:17] ---
    Very well, that is all of it.
    Thank you very much.
[00:20] ---
    Thank you.
[00:21] ---
    Mr. Gilbert...
[00:23] ---
    ...should I put these together?
[00:25] ---
    Ah, I will take care of--
[00:29] ---
    ...that.
[00:34] ---
    Hellsalem's Lot--a city where this world
    and the alterworld intersect.
[00:38] ---
    This is the record of the
    clandestine activities
[00:42] ---
    of the secret society of supermen,
    Libra, who work in the shadows
[00:45] ---
    to preserve the balance of worlds.
[00:49] ---
    I’m sane, but it’s trick or treat?
[00:51] ---
    I’m right, but it’s truth certainly
[00:53] ---
    Well then “awesome!” welcome to tragedy
[00:56] ---
    Fake town, Fake town, baby?
[01:08] ---
    I’m sane, but it’s trick or treat?
[01:11] ---
    I’m right, but it’s truth certainly
[01:13] ---
    Well then “awesome!” welcome to tragedy
[01:16] ---
    Fake town, Fake town, baby?
[01:18] ---
    Giving in to emotion is an utter waste
[01:20] ---
    A moment's solace
    is an immediate nuisance
[01:23] ---
    Hello me, hello you, there are no timeouts
[01:26] ---
    Fake town, Fake town
[01:28] ---
    See, I don't even know when
[01:30] ---
    I started thinking this way
[01:32] ---
    I'd gotten myself so ready to be a winner,
[01:35] ---
    it's a shame about the pandemonium
[01:38] ---
    I've forgotten what my percentage
    is at finding happiness
[01:42] ---
    There's no God, I don't want one,
    even if there was
[01:45] ---
    Whose "you are here" is this?
[01:48] ---
    You decide whether it's bitter or sweet
[01:52] ---
    "I hate what I hate, buzz off, shut up"
[01:55] ---
    You're probably well past
    getting by like that
[01:58] ---
    In this town, if all you do is complain
[02:00] ---
    the rule is that no one
    will give you the time of day
[02:04] ---
    Ah, just get in on this call
    or drop of a lifetime
[02:07] ---
    Even man-eating ghouls
    are clapping their hands
[02:10] ---
    Here's the round of applause
    you've been waiting for
[02:15] ---
    Here are the foolproof winning odds
    you've been waiting for
[02:19] ---
    I'm telling you,
[02:22] ---
    your skyfish is just a residual
    image of a bug on your camera.
[02:26] ---
    You only say that because you
    didn't see it with your own eyes!
[02:29] ---
    --Forgive me for causing you any concern.
    --I can see it just fine, right here.
[02:30] ---
    --Forgive me for causing you any concern.
    --That's a different photo,
[02:32] ---
    --It was nothing too serious.
    As you can see, I...
    --That's a different photo,
[02:32] ---
    --It was nothing too serious.
    As you can see, I...
    --which just happens to have a bug in it!
[02:44] ---
    Yes?
[02:45] ---
    It has been too long,
[02:47] ---
    Gilbert Franke Altstein.
[02:51] ---
    My, my, Head Maid Catherine Bates.
[02:54] ---
    It has been a long time.
[02:56] ---
    From what I hear, you have sustained
    some rather serious injuries.
[03:01] ---
    Oh? Whatever do you mean?
[03:05] ---
    You can drop the phony act.
[03:08] ---
    Master Klaus is not someone who can
    keep secrets from me, you realize.
[03:14] ---
    You called him up personally?
[03:16] ---
    As head maid of the
    Reinherz Family, it is only natural.
[03:19] ---
    But, madam...
[03:20] ---
    Consequently, I have dispatched
    some additional help to you.
[03:26] ---
    You what? That seems a tad high-handed.
[03:33] ---
    Ah, Hellsalem's Lot.
[03:41] ---
    Let's do this!
[03:46] ---
    I am here from the Reinherz Family
    Special Butler Corps!
[03:50] ---
    Philip Lenore! Pleased to
    make your acquaintance!
[03:53] ---
    It sounds like an incredibly
    loud fellow is here now.
[03:55] ---
    An awfully oppressive fellow is here now.
[03:58] ---
    Mr. Lenore is here in the
    capacity of an assistant.
[04:02] ---
    As such, if there is
    anything that you need...
[04:06] ---
    Are you all right?
[04:07] ---
    I am fine, I am fine.
[04:10] ---
    Mister Altstein!
[04:11] ---
    Assistant be damned!
[04:12] ---
    Please allow me, Philip,
    to see to all of your duties!
[04:17] ---
    That is what combat butlers are for!
[04:19] ---
    Huh? Combat...?
[04:22] ---
    You mean, you fight?
[04:24] ---
    When it becomes necessary.
[04:35] ---
    Gilbert...
[04:55] ---
    Huh? Tea?
[04:57] ---
    Klaus did?
[05:00] ---
    From someone other than Mr. Gilbert?
[05:02] ---
    That man is really something.
[05:06] ---
    --Damn it, man!
[05:07] ---
    Mr. Zapp, keep it together!
[05:09] ---
    It hurts! It really hurts!
[05:16] ---
    Mr. Zapp!
[05:17] ---
    I'm sorry! You looked so compromised,
    I couldn't help myself!
[05:19] ---
    Why not?!
[05:23] ---
    I have called a doctor.
    This should suffice until then.
[05:26] ---
    Oh...
[05:29] ---
    Ho-ho-ho, you don't say.
[05:32] ---
    That is outstanding. Head Maid Bates
    knows what she is doing.
[05:37] ---
    How can you be so casual?
[05:39] ---
    You might lose your position
    as the exclusive butler here.
[05:44] ---
    Well, we cannot have that, can we?
[05:47] ---
    Mr. Gilbert is a remarkable person.
[05:50] ---
    It's like he takes in stride whatever
    comes up, or whatever happens to him,
[05:55] ---
    I've never seen him bump
    heads with anyone else.
[05:59] ---
    And when I say that, I mean on the level
    of him not having any presence.
[06:03] ---
    He's always just around, like you're
    never sure if he's there or not,
[06:08] ---
    despite being all wrapped up in bandages.
[06:11] ---
    So, um,
[06:13] ---
    that way is the "Eternal Hollow,"
[06:15] ---
    and you don't want to get too close
    to that. Even using mass transit,
[06:19] ---
    going to destinations that
    are marked in red letters
[06:22] ---
    reduces your chances
    of survival by 30 percent,
[06:24] ---
    so stay off of those.
[06:26] ---
    I have to hand it to Hellsalem's Lot.
    It's beyond what I expected.
[06:31] ---
    I'm surprised that you've
    survived here this long.
[06:33] ---
    Well, you may say so,
[06:35] ---
    but it isn't as though everywhere
    in this city is that dangerous.
[06:38] ---
    There are plenty of regular
    folks who live here, too.
[06:44] ---
    Hey, Leo!
[06:45] ---
    Miss Vivian!
[06:47] ---
    Come on in.
[06:49] ---
    See? This is just a normal diner, right?
[06:52] ---
    Yes, well...
[06:54] ---
    Who's this? Someone from your work, Leo?
[06:57] ---
    I just got in the other day,
[06:59] ---
    at Libr--
[07:02] ---
    Hmm? Live?
[07:04] ---
    ♪ The live performance
    is about to begin! ♪
[07:09] ---
    ♪ The blues! ♪
[07:12] ---
    ♪ Pappa-la-pa! ♪
[07:14] ---
    I guess Leo has finally given in
    to the insanity of the city.
[07:18] ---
    His brain, in particular.
[07:20] ---
    I can hear you.
[07:23] ---
    Um...
[07:24] ---
    Should I not have done that--
    said the name "Libra" out loud?
[07:28] ---
    There are plenty of people
    who have something against
[07:31] ---
    or are wary of Libra. It's just
    safer to keep quiet about it.
[07:36] ---
    Is that right?
[07:41] ---
    Just a moment!
[07:44] ---
    What for?
[07:46] ---
    Return what you just stole from him!
[07:48] ---
    Huh?
[07:50] ---
    I have no idea...
    what you're talking about!
[07:59] ---
    A-All right! I'll give it back,
    I'll give it back!
[08:03] ---
    I owe you one. Thank you very much.
[08:06] ---
    Not at all. It was the least that I could do.
[08:09] ---
    But should you really be doing this?
[08:11] ---
    If this happens all the time,
    it must be hard on you, and your wallet.
[08:15] ---
    Oh, as far as that goes...
[08:20] ---
    I divide it up. My wallet is a ruse,
    with nothing but small change.
[08:24] ---
    Then you assume you will be stolen from?
[08:27] ---
    Yes. It's far more preferable
    to getting into trouble,
[08:30] ---
    and risking even greater danger.
[08:37] ---
    Mister Altstein...
[08:38] ---
    You were sneaking a chance to do more work.
[08:42] ---
    Please return to your bed.
[08:46] ---
    What was that, anyhow?
[08:48] ---
    Oh, amazing, is it not?
[08:51] ---
    My own personal sequencer,
    to allow me to compose my music.
[08:53] ---
    It is not! You don't have
    to keep secrets from me, do you?
[08:57] ---
    It's a command uplink system
    for Libra, isn't it?
[09:01] ---
    I cannot allow you to take over this work.
[09:04] ---
    Why not?
[09:05] ---
    I can learn it right away.
[09:07] ---
    It is not that. It is too dangerous.
[09:11] ---
    Huh?
[09:12] ---
    If you were to learn
    the particulars of Libra,
[09:14] ---
    your brain would be valued
    somewhere in the millions.
[09:18] ---
    You would have both humans
    and non-humans chasing you around.
[09:21] ---
    Then I can always avoid them!
[09:23] ---
    If these people really want something,
[09:25] ---
    the techniques of man's
    world will be of little avail.
[09:30] ---
    You're saying that I'm not strong enough?
[09:33] ---
    Indubitably.
[09:34] ---
    I do not buy your argument.
[09:37] ---
    If that is true...
[09:40] ---
    ...then what about you?!
[09:42] ---
    How can you let that lad,
    Leonardo, come and go?!
[09:45] ---
    If you'd rather be rid of me,
    then just say so!
[09:51] ---
    I beg your pardon!
[09:53] ---
    That's all right.
[09:55] ---
    Your straightforwardness is a virtue.
[09:59] ---
    However, running into things head-on
    is not the only way to fight.
[10:05] ---
    After spending time with Leonardo,
[10:08] ---
    you have witnessed that
    for yourself, have you not?
[10:14] ---
    Damn!
[10:15] ---
    Whoa, don't startle me like that!
[10:17] ---
    Oh, uh, I'm terribly sorry.
[10:19] ---
    You're so serious!
[10:23] ---
    I don't know what's bugging you,
    but if you want to vent, I'll listen.
[10:32] ---
    I've always wanted to be
    like Gilbert Franke Altstein,
[10:36] ---
    the legendary combat butler.
[10:39] ---
    When I was accepted to work
    for the Reinherz family,
[10:42] ---
    he had already left for Hellsalem's Lot,
[10:45] ---
    together with the third-oldest son, Klaus.
[10:49] ---
    "There are those that must be protected,
[10:51] ---
    and if I am one of the limited number
    who can perform that deed,
[10:55] ---
    then let me be the first
    to volunteer myself."
[10:58] ---
    Indeed, it was a sense of duty
    stemming from his nobility.
[11:04] ---
    I had convinced myself that
    I was one who could assist him.
[11:07] ---
    But, in reality...
[11:19] ---
    You did it!
[11:20] ---
    Yeah. Just sit tight. I'm gonna peek
    inside his brain, right now.
[11:25] ---
    Then you'll be free to kill all
    of this guy's family and colleagues.
[11:31] ---
    Awesome!
[11:33] ---
    Hey...
[11:34] ---
    What is this...?
[11:36] ---
    This guy is involved with Libra!
[11:38] ---
    What?!
[11:39] ---
    You gotta be kidding! Count me out!
[11:41] ---
    No, hold on!
[11:45] ---
    What is it?
[11:47] ---
    This could turn out to be
    a nice bit of business.
[11:56] ---
    "One Butler's Blitzkrieg"
[12:00] ---
    Don't eat that! That's my burger!
[12:03] ---
    These Jack Cheese Rockets are
    the best, every time I eat them.
[12:09] ---
    Good morning.
[12:11] ---
    --Morning!
    --'Sup!
[12:12] ---
    Don't eat that! Give it back!
[12:16] ---
    Good morning.
[12:31] ---
    "Just a moment"
[12:35] ---
    Something has happened, hasn't it?
[12:37] ---
    If you are under duress from anyone,
[12:40] ---
    please touch your face with your left hand.
[12:52] ---
    Brain extraction?
[12:55] ---
    You have fallen victim
    to a serious technique.
[12:58] ---
    Now, as for your brain...
[13:01] ---
    Where is it now?
[13:05] ---
    You don't know? Oh, goodness. Well then,
[13:09] ---
    please sit at the console.
[13:14] ---
    It is no matter. Take your time
    and read the words that appear.
[13:28] ---
    Yes!
[13:29] ---
    This is a huge deal!
[13:31] ---
    What's really terrifying about them
[13:33] ---
    is not having a handle
    on their entire operation.
[13:36] ---
    Once we know the big picture...
[13:38] ---
    We can sell it or trash it as we please!
[13:40] ---
    This was a great buy!
[13:45] ---
    It is not unusual to have brain extraction
    remote control broken off.
[13:50] ---
    If you please, Master Leonardo,
[13:53] ---
    use your All-seeing Eyes of the Gods
    to track down his brain.
[13:57] ---
    Oh, right.
[14:09] ---
    Got it.
[14:10] ---
    I'll go.
[14:11] ---
    I would ask that you stay, Young Sir.
[14:14] ---
    Please put yourself in his shoes.
[14:17] ---
    If he becomes responsible
    for putting his own master out,
[14:19] ---
    to say nothing of exposing him to danger,
[14:22] ---
    he will have to live with that
    regret for the rest of his life.
[14:28] ---
    Not to worry.
[14:30] ---
    I assure you, I will return him safely.
[14:33] ---
    This is...
[14:35] ---
    ...an absolute certainty.
[14:36] ---
    Too cramped! Too cramped! Too cramped!
[14:38] ---
    Don't be so aloof.
[14:40] ---
    He's quite right.
[14:41] ---
    You have to speak up at a time like this...
[14:44] ---
    Mr. Gilbert.
[14:48] ---
    You'll have to excuse me for that.
[14:51] ---
    I was just getting ready to call on you.
[15:01] ---
    It's no use!
[15:02] ---
    What do we do?
    They're probably on to us by now.
[15:04] ---
    Do we get rid of this?!
[15:05] ---
    You dumbass! We still got part of
    a data treasure trove out of him!
[15:09] ---
    It's all right.
[15:11] ---
    Brain extraction remote
    control is untraceable.
[15:14] ---
    This doesn't mean anything.
[15:16] ---
    You're sure about that?
[15:17] ---
    I've had it. I'm doomed
    to be killed by these monsters.
[15:23] ---
    This is "the end."
[15:27] ---
    Hmm? Hey!
[15:32] ---
    Who's this kid?
[15:33] ---
    Hey, you!
[15:34] ---
    Get out of the way!
[15:37] ---
    Can you hear me, my fine badasses?
[15:40] ---
    Right now, you have
    three choices open to you.
[15:44] ---
    One, you can release his brain
    immediately and leave there.
[15:49] ---
    Two, you can fight us, and have
    his brain recovered from you.
[15:53] ---
    This will lead to casualties on your
    end before things are settled.
[15:57] ---
    Three, you can destroy his brain.
    In that event, we will kill you all.
[16:05] ---
    There will be no exceptions.
    We will find every last one of you,
[16:08] ---
    and tear you limb from limb.
[16:10] ---
    So, what will it be? For what it is worth,
    I would suggest number one.
[16:18] ---
    I've never heard anybody
    blow so much smoke!
[16:22] ---
    You take the cake for
    being deluded, old geezer!
[16:26] ---
    So one is off the table, then?
[16:29] ---
    You fools. I...
[16:31] ---
    ...warned you.
[16:34] ---
    Don't bother begging for your lives.
[16:37] ---
    I will see that you atone
[16:38] ---
    for the crime of kidnapping
    and altering my fellow butler
[16:42] ---
    with your innards and with your blood.
[16:44] ---
    This is not a threat.
[16:47] ---
    It is an absolute certainty.
[16:50] ---
    O-Over there!
[16:51] ---
    That factory!
[16:58] ---
    C-Can't breathe...!
[17:05] ---
    "Plasma Cutter"
[17:35] ---
    "Bethesda Firearms
    Death Caliber .50"
[17:58] ---
    Up there! The second floor!
[18:22] ---
    Sorry!
[18:23] ---
    It is of no matter.
[18:49] ---
    Damn!
[19:34] ---
    This will be somewhat bumpy.
[19:36] ---
    Please hold on to something.
[20:02] ---
    I'll see you in hell!
[20:11] ---
    Mr. Gilbert!
[20:14] ---
    It's over!
[20:18] ---
    Don't gloat about winning, small-timer.
[20:20] ---
    Did you think this is all
    it would take to kill me?
[20:23] ---
    What you have cut through is, at most,
[20:25] ---
    nothing more than my bandages.
[20:31] ---
    You can regret challenging a Regeneratore...
[20:36] ---
    ...when you get to hell!
[20:51] ---
    The ordeal is almost over, Mr. Philip.
[20:55] ---
    Whoo, am I ever hungry.
[21:05] ---
    If you have regenerative abilities,
    then you have to tell us so,
[21:10] ---
    Mister Altstein.
[21:12] ---
    I'm sorry about that. However,
    this ability only barely keeps me alive
[21:18] ---
    in the event of a fatal injury,
    by providing rapid regeneration,
[21:22] ---
    beyond which I am just
    an ordinary old man.
[21:24] ---
    Uh-huh...
[21:26] ---
    Still, I am quite fond of this body.
[21:32] ---
    For you see, I can long
    remain at Master Klaus' side,
[21:35] ---
    attending to all of his needs.
[21:42] ---
    I really have learned a lot from this.
    I don't know what to say.
[21:47] ---
    I guess I really do have a long way to go.
[21:50] ---
    Philip...
[21:52] ---
    Yes?
[21:53] ---
    You really do have a face
    fit for this city now.
[21:58] ---
    Yeah...
[22:00] ---
    What do you say? Would you like
    to formally come to work for Libra?
