[00:13] Victor
Nothing feels better than the
air in your own hometown!
[00:16] Victor
Let's go.
[00:24] Kid
Wait up!
SIGN March 28 15:02
[00:25] Kid
You're too slow!
[00:28] Victor
Back home for the first
time in three years...
[00:30] Victor
It hasn't changed a bit!
[00:32] Kiri
Hang on. If we're being specific,
that "three years" is more like 27 years.
[00:37] Kiri
For starters, you left your
hometown of Couljours at age 12,
[00:39] Kiri
and trained to become a dealer at
a casino to keep yourself fed.
[00:42] Kiri
After learning how to deal cards,
[00:43] Kiri
you joined the Horologue-killing
organization Chronos at age 20,
[00:46] Kiri
where you met Aisrehdar and the agent—
[00:48] Victor
Okay, okay.
[00:49] Victor
Girls don't like guys who nitpick, you know.
[00:52] Victor
It's in a remote location more than
half a day's travel from the airport.
[00:57] Victor
There aren't any businesses or
famous buildings to speak of.
[01:00] Victor
It's just a small rural town
with a beautiful view.
[01:04] Victor
That's Couljours.
[01:05] Blaze
Sheesh, I'm glad we landed in
a place that was close to it.
[01:10] Mina
Darling, I want something cold to drink!
[01:13] Kiri
Good grief, you two...
[01:15] Victor
Oh, it's Old Lady Kate's bakery!
[01:17] Victor
So it's still in business!
[01:21] Victor
The game machine next to the
general store! That takes me back!
[01:24] Victor
I had the high score on this thing!
[01:29] Blaze
All right!
[01:30] Blaze
Witness the techniques of the guy
they called "Sixteen Straight Wins"!
[01:35] Blaze
Huh?
[01:39] Victor
That place with the nasty
steak is hanging in there.
[01:41] Victor
And here's its whiny spokesdog, Buttller!
[01:44] Victor
Or are you his grandson?
Every generation is just like the last.
[01:48] Blaze
Oh? You wanna fight?
[01:50] Blaze
They called me "Flashing Mad Dog."
[01:56] Blaze
Audacious, aren't ya? You wanna go?!
[01:59] Mina
Darling!
[02:00] Mina
Since we're here, I'd love
to meet your parents.
[02:04] Victor
Sadly, they've both passed away.
[02:07] Mina
Oh, really? I didn't know.
[02:10] Victor
Don't worry about it.
[02:12] Victor
It was 27 years ago.
[02:15] Mina
I'm sorry.
[02:16] Mina
Well, then... do you think
we could visit their graves?
[02:19] Blaze
Stop! Stop it!
[02:19] Victor
Sure, later.
[02:22] Kiri
What is it?
[02:23] Kiri
Something's bothering me...
[02:26] Victor
Well, just reminiscing
won't get us anywhere.
[02:30] Victor
Let's start by investigating my past.
[02:32] Blaze
Hey! Isn't this where your last mission was?
[02:36] Blaze
Whoa!
[02:38] Blaze
Watch it, you!
[02:39] Kid
Sorry!
[02:41] Kid
Auntie!
[02:44] Kid
I drew this! Look!
[02:47] Eve
No need to rush. Let me have a look.
[02:51] Eve
My, it's a lovely drawing!
[02:54] Eve
I'm sure you'll be a wonderful
artist when you grow up.
[03:02] Kiri
Hey, Victor...
[03:04] Kiri
What are you doing?
[03:09] Victor
Mom...
[03:12] Kiri
"Mom"? What are you saying?
[03:17] Alex
Hold it there.
[03:18] Alex
Look at that runny nose.
[03:19] Alex
Got a cold?
[03:20] Alex
It's definitely a cold.
[03:23] Alex
Let me take a look at you.
[03:25] Kid
No! I don't have a cold!
[03:26] Alex
Don't fuss, now.
[03:29] Kid
No!
[03:31] Kiri
You don't mean that's...
[03:45] Mina
Darling, look!
[03:47] Victor
Thirty-four years ago?!
[03:56] Kiri
That's it.
[03:58] Kiri
It was this town's odd nostalgic
feel that was bothering me.
[04:02] Kiri
It's old, but new...
[04:05] Kiri
New, but old.
[04:06] Kid
I don't want a shot!
[04:08] Alex
Come, now, it won't hurt...
[04:09] Eve
Oh, dear.
[04:11] Kiri
Are they really Victor's parents?
[04:11] Eve
It's all right. Don't be scared.
[04:14] Kiri
No way.
[04:15] Kiri
But if we assume they are,
there's only one possibility.
[04:22] Kiri
Time has turned backwards.
[05:56] Kid
Save me, Auntie! I don't want a shot!
[05:58] Kiri
If we've gone back to the past,
[06:01] Kiri
when did it happen, and how? What caused it?
[06:04] Kiri
Nothing seemed wrong when
we walked into this town.
[06:08] Blaze
You said Victor left the
countryside at age 12, right?
[06:12] Blaze
That was 27 years ago, and where
we are now is 34 years back.
[06:17] Blaze
Wait, so how old is the Victor
who's in this town now?
[06:21] Mina
Darling, are you okay?
[06:28] Victor
I never thought I'd see you again.
[06:30] Eve
There, there. Don't cry, now.
[06:35] Eve
Huh? You...
[06:36] Eve
You're very pale!
[06:41] Eve
Are you all right?
[06:42] Alex
Are you a patient?
[06:44] Alex
If you'd like an examination, we can talk.
[06:46] Alex
Eve, get things ready for an exam.
[06:49] Eve
Yes, dear.
[06:51] Victor
No, wait! Please, listen to—
[06:54] Kiri
Victor, open your eyes.
This town isn't right.
[06:58] Kiri
Aren't you always saying that
time never turns backwards?
[07:04] Alex
What's the matter?
You seem quite out of sorts.
[07:10] Alex
Oh, you certainly are pale!
[07:13] Alex
Yes, I, Alexander Putin,
should examine you—
[07:15] Kiri
He's fine! He's just a little
tired from our long journey.
[07:21] Kiri
We'll go rest in our hotel.
[07:35] Kiri
It's no use.
[07:37] Kiri
He won't answer.
[07:39] Kiri
I was hoping to ask Snake
if he had any leads.
[07:42] Mina
Jeez, why do we have to
sleep in a place like this?
[07:47] Mina
At least let me stay at
a hotel with my darling!
[07:50] Kiri
Don't complain.
[07:51] Kiri
Until we know what's going on,
[07:53] Kiri
we should avoid contact with
the people of this town.
[07:56] Mina
Stingy Kiri! Father disrespecter! Virgin!
[08:00] Kiri
Virginity has nothing to do with this!
[08:02] Blaze
Twelve plus 27 minus 34 is...
[08:05] Blaze
First, the 12...
[08:07] Kiri
Until we can prove that this
isn't the work of a Horologue,
[08:10] Kiri
we need to stay alert.
[08:12] Kiri
We'll start investigating in the morning.
[08:14] Kiri
We can rotate the watch every
two hours. Okay, Victor?
[08:18] Kiri
Victor!
[08:19] Victor
Oh, right. Sure.
[08:21] Victor
After two hours, you'll eat
pasta through your nose, right?
[08:25] Kiri
Wrong!
[08:26] Kiri
I'm talking about the watch!
[08:27] Kiri
Honestly, am I the only
one being cautious here?
[08:42] Kiri
Not him.
[08:44] Kiri
Not him, either.
[08:47] Kiri
Time is flowing normally
for all these people.
[08:50] Kiri
No sign of a Horologue anywhere.
[08:53] Kiri
Does the town's time being reversed
have nothing to do with a Horologue at all?
[09:00] Kira
Mina, has anything like
this happened before?
[09:03] Mina
If it had, I'd remember it.
[09:06] Mina
And Chronos would have it on record.
[09:08] Mina
This is a first, and it makes no sense.
[09:10] Blaze
Twelve plus 27 minus 34... uh...
[09:15] Kiri
If this is Victor's hometown
34 years in the past,
[09:20] Kiri
then does this phenomenon have
something to do with him?
[09:26] Victor
Kiri, this might just be
some backwoods town to you,
[09:31] Victor
but for me, it's full of childhood memories.
[09:34] Victor
Stop looking at these people
as if they were samples.
[09:40] Victor
I'm going out for a bit.
[09:43] Mina
Darling!
[09:46] Kiri
Childhood, huh?
[09:55] Kiri
Very well, then.
[09:57] Kiri
I'll go along with his
sentimentality a bit longer.
[10:06] Kiri
If nothing else,
[10:07] Kiri
I don't want to be careless and let his
parents discover my relation to Victor.
[10:11] Mina
That shouldn't be a problem.
[10:12] Mina
For father and son, you look nothing alike.
[10:15] Kiri
I could say the same to you.
[10:17] Kiri
You look nothing like your sister.
[10:20] Mina
Of course I don't. We're not real sisters.
[10:25] Mina
Blood relation to Chronos,
the god of time, is extremely rare,
[10:29] Mina
so we only call ourselves "sister"
for the sake of convenience.
[10:32] Mina
In the first place, I don't
remember anything from my past.
[10:36] Mina
Just like my darling.
[10:38] Kiri
You lost your memories, too?
Is that why you...
[10:41] Mina
Don't get the wrong idea. It's not sympathy.
[10:44] Mina
I don't care at all that my memory is lost.
[10:47] Mina
I'm going to build a future with
my darling, just the two of us.
[10:51] Mina
That's why this town,
[10:52] Mina
and every single thing,
[10:54] Mina
and every single person,
[10:55] Mina
that ties my darling to his past...
[10:57] Mina
disgusts me!
[11:05] Eve
Oh, you're...
[11:08] Eve
You look pale. Are you all right?
[11:11] Eve
Come inside.
[11:15] Alex
What is it, Eve?
[11:16] Eve
This young man seems unwell.
[11:18] Alex
What? I'll examine him at once!
[11:20] Alex
Oh, but I'm seeing another patient now.
[11:24] Alex
Oh, but there's a patient here, too.
[11:26] Guy
I'm all right, Doctor Putin.
[11:29] Alex
Eh?
[11:29] Guy
I only came to pick up my medicine, anyway.
[11:33] Guy
How much for the medicine?
[11:34] Alex
Ah, no, no! I appreciate the thought!
[11:37] Alex
Just pay it whenever you can.
[11:39] Guy
Then I'll come again another time.
[11:43] Alex
Be well...
[11:46] Alex
Take care.
[11:52] Victor
My father isn't formally a doctor.
[11:55] Victor
This town has no hospital,
[11:56] Victor
which meant people had to travel
half a day to the next town.
[12:00] Victor
So he studied medicine on his own time.
[12:02] Victor
Basically, he's unlicensed.
[12:05] Victor
His intentions are noble,
[12:07] Victor
but the fly in the ointment is that he's
a bit absent-minded and a worrywart.
[12:10] Kiri
Even though he's a doctor?
[12:12] Victor
The scenery hasn't changed,
and neither have they.
[12:16] Victor
My kind, generous mother and father...
[12:20] Kiri
Don't get too sentimental.
[12:23] Kiri
Investigating is our priority now.
[12:26] Kiri
We'll never get your past
back if we keep this up.
[12:29] Blaze
Twenty-seven minus 34...
That doesn't even work!
[12:31] Victor
Sentimental, huh?
[12:33] Eve
Oh, the young man from before.
[12:35] Eve
How are you feeling?
[12:37] Eve
Are you all better now?
[12:42] Victor
What about you? Carrying these heavy
things when you have a bad heart?
[12:45] Victor
Is this all right?
[12:47] Eve
Huh? Yes...
[12:49] Eve
I need to do at least this much work.
[12:51] Eve
But what about you?
Shouldn't you be resting?
[12:55] Victor
Actually, I am still a bit light-headed...
[12:57] Kiri
Huh?!
[12:58] Victor
But the place where we're
staying is just the worst.
[13:01] Victor
It's got fleas, ticks, lice,
[13:03] Victor
and roommates that snore and
toss and turn in their sleep!
[13:06] Victor
Even worse, we don't even get decent meals.
[13:10] Eve
Well, that's awful!
[13:12] Eve
Why don't you come to our
house for dinner tonight?
[13:15] Kiri
We appreciate your kind offer, but...
[13:17] Victor
We'd be glad to accept!
[13:19] Kiri
Hey!
[13:20] Kiri
What if they get suspicious
while we're eating with them?
[13:23] Kiri
Did you forget what I said earlier?
[13:25] Victor
Of course I haven't.
[13:27] Victor
Listen, is there anyone more worthy
of investigation than my parents?
[13:31] Victor
If we're with them,
[13:33] Victor
we're sure to figure out
the cause of all this.
[13:37] Kiri
Yes, but...
[13:58] Alex
Come to think of it, we haven't
introduced ourselves.
[14:01] Alex
My name is Alexander Putin.
[14:04] Alex
This is my wife, Eve.
[14:07] Mina
I'm Mina!
[14:09] Mina
I'm my darling's wife!
[14:11] Eve
My! As young as you are?
[14:14] Alex
Love knows no age, remember?
[14:16] Alex
We were still young when we met, as well.
[14:20] Eve
That's true.
[14:23] Victor
Running a health clinic must be difficult.
[14:25] Alex
Oh, no.
[14:27] Alex
Actually, I became a doctor in the
first place because of my wife.
[14:32] Alex
She has a weak constitution,
so I wanted to help her.
[14:37] Victor
I see...
[14:39] Mina
It's really true that you can do anything
for the one you love, isn't it?
[14:43] Mina
I would go through any kind of
hardship for my darling, too!
[14:47] Alex
So admirable for one so young!
[14:49] Mina
Oh, but sir, love knows no age!
[14:55] Alex
Yes! You're exactly right!
[14:58] Victor
Whoops! Someone's being left
out of the conversation.
[15:01] Mina
Oh, just leave that little prude alone.
[15:04] Kiri
First of all, I'm supposed
to be one of the guests!
SIGN Thok Thok Thok Thok
[15:08] Kiri
Why am I doing the cooking?!
[15:10] Kiri
Ever since we got here, it's like
Couljours is messing with me!
[15:15] Kiri
There, it's done!
[15:19] Alex
It's like we're at a three-star restaurant!
[15:21] Eve
I'm glad we let him do the cooking!
[15:24] Mina
I might actually see him in
a more positive light now.
[15:27] All
Let's eat!
[15:37] Kiri
Huh?
[15:43] Blaze
What did I just eat?!
[15:45] Victor
Kiri, I forgot that your sense
of taste is practically absent.
[15:49] Mina
This is the problem with virgins!
[15:51] Alex
No, I actually quite like it.
[15:53] Alex
Though as far as the taste goes,
it's in unfamiliar territory...
[15:56] Eve
Dear!
[15:57] KidVic
Hey, you're too loud.
[15:59] KidVic
I'm trying to study, so keep it down!
[16:03] Alex
Sorry, Victor. We have
guests here, you see.
[16:08] Alex
That's my son, Victor.
[16:10] Alex
Maybe it's not my place to say so,
but he's been called a prodigy.
[16:14] Blaze
I got it!
[16:15] Blaze
Twelve plus 27 minus 34 equals 5!
[16:18] Blaze
Five years old!
[16:19] Blaze
Huh? Is that wrong? Six? Seven? Eight?
[16:23] Alex
Yes, he's only five,
[16:25] Alex
but he's already studying
at a high school level.
[16:29] Eve
Wait!
[16:31] Eve
Take this with you, Vic.
[16:34] Eve
I made it.
[16:37] KidVic
I don't want it. I'll catch your stupidity.
[16:39] Alex
Hey, now, Victor!
You shouldn't talk like that!
[16:42] KidVic
Well, it's true, isn't it?
[16:45] KidVic
A weak good-for-nothing who
can't do anything right,
[16:49] KidVic
and a scatterbrained quack doctor...
[16:51] KidVic
Without my help, you'd have more
patients dying than getting better.
[16:56] KidVic
I expect nothing of you two.
[16:58] KidVic
Just...
[16:59] KidVic
Don't get in my way.
[17:02] Blaze
You little brat!
[17:05] Blaze
Huh? Why'd you stop me?!
[17:08] Blaze
I'm a villain!
[17:09] Blaze
I'm gonna re-educate that brat but good!
[17:12] Victor
Calm down, Blaze.
[17:15] Victor
Just... let it go.
[17:19] Kiri
How can a child be so abusive
toward his parents?
[17:22] Mina
It's normal for kids to
be stupid and impudent.
[17:35] Kiri
What forced Victor to grow up
in the truest sense...
[17:41] Victor
was the loss of his parents.
SIGN Time Does Not Turn Backward
[17:53] Kiri
Losing them made him realize
[17:56] Kiri
just how precious they were.
[18:03] Eve
Oh, good morning.
[18:05] Victor
Thank you for dinner last night.
[18:08] Victor
Isn't that pen hard to draw with?
[18:11] Eve
Well, yes.
[18:13] Eve
But this was a gift from my husband.
[18:18] Eve
He didn't realize it wasn't an artist's pen.
[18:22] Eve
But it's not as if I can't draw with it.
[18:24] Eve
Above all, I have so much
fun drawing with this pen.
[18:28] Victor
Yes, I can see that by watching you.
[18:31] Eve
I hope you all weren't too put off by Vic.
[18:35] Eve
But—
[18:38] Victor
Oh, no! You need medicine!
[18:46] Eve
He's really a very gentle boy.
[18:49] Eve
Boys his age would normally want to
play more, or ask for more toys.
[18:54] Eve
He could be a little more selfish,
[18:56] Eve
but he helps us with the clinic.
[18:58] Eve
I'm very proud that Vic has grown
to be such an independent boy.
[19:05] Eve
If he seems like a bad boy,
[19:07] Eve
it's because his father and I
aren't good enough as parents.
[19:10] Victor
That's not true at all.
[19:12] Victor
You're wonderful parents.
[19:15] Victor
He'll understand that one
day, too. I'm sure of it.
[19:20] Victor
Are you going to give that to him?
[19:22] Eve
Huh? Ah, yes...
[19:26] Eve
This is the only gift I can give to Vic.
[19:30] Eve
So I'm hoping to give this
to him when he turns 20.
[19:38] Eve
Oh, but please don't.
[19:40] Victor
Of course. I won't tell him.
[19:43] Eve
Thank you.
[19:50] Kiri
You've had enough sentimentality, right?
[19:52] Kiri
Or are you trying to atone?
[19:55] Kiri
Your parents died in a fire.
[19:58] Kiri
The cause remains unknown even now.
[20:00] Kiri
All we know is that Eve collapsed
due to her weak heart
[20:04] Kiri
and couldn't get out in time,
[20:06] Kiri
so Alex did his best to
go back and save her.
[20:10] Kiri
In the end, you never received
that drawing from your mother.
[20:15] Kiri
Right?
[20:17] Kiri
Do you intend to get that drawing
and thank her personally?
[20:23] Victor
I already know what she's drawing.
[20:39] Victor
It was a wish from my awkward parents
[20:43] Victor
for me to "be a victor."
[20:51] Victor
Kiri, you don't yet understand
[20:54] Victor
how parents feel about their children.
[20:57] Victor
It's not something that
can be easily explained.
[20:59] Kiri
Wait, Victor!
[21:01] Kiri
The parents in front of you now are fakes!
[21:03] Kiri
The past can't be changed!
[21:05] Kiri
No matter what you do for them now,
it'll mean nothing!
[21:08] Kiri
It sounds good to say you're atoning,
[21:10] Kiri
but it's only for your own satisfac—
[21:11] Victor
Shut up, Kiri.
[21:16] Victor
You don't understand anything, Kiri.
[21:20] Victor
Investigating is fine.
[21:22] Victor
But we'll work separately.
There's something I need to do.
[21:38] Kiri
Victor!
[21:42] Kiri
Damn it!
