[00:16] Finis
    London Bridge is broken down,
[00:19] Finis
    broken down, broken down...
[00:22] Finis
    London Bridge is broken down,
[00:26] Finis
    my fair lady...
[00:32] Finis
    I'll be seeing you soon,
[00:35] Finis
    Sister.
SIGN    London Steam
[01:02] SoldierA
    Captain Leonhardt.
[01:04] SoldierA
    Preparations to storm
    the mansion are complete.
[01:06] Leonhardt
    Good work.
[01:08] SoldierA
    It's so quiet.
[01:09] SoldierA
    Is this really where the target is?
[01:13] Leonhardt
    Do not lower your guard
    under any circumstances.
[01:16] Leonhardt
    That is our credo as knights,
     as swords in service to the Queen.
[01:20] SoldierA
    Sir!
[01:22] Leonhardt
    Besides...
[01:24] Leonhardt
    We're up against a monster.
[01:28] Cardia
    I hear voices.
[01:34] Cardia
    Why have they awakened me?
[01:38] Cardia
    I wished to remain in my
    warm sleep forever...
[01:42] Cardia
    All I wanted was to spend my life
    in warm, comfortable sleep.
[01:49] Leonhardt
    This must be it.
[02:18] SoldierA
    That's... the monster?
[02:27] SoldierB
    And here I wondered what kind
    of terrible monster it'd be.
[02:29] SoldierB
    She's just a girl.
[02:31] Leonhardt
    Fool!
SIGN    Don't...
[02:42] SoldierC
    M-Monster!
[02:43] SoldierA
    Don't move!
[02:44] SoldierA
    Move and we'll shoot!
[02:46] Leonhardt
    Don't lose your heads!
[02:49] Leonhardt
    You would point a firearm at a lady?
[02:51] Leonhardt
    And you call yourselves soldiers
    of the proud British Army?
[02:54] SoldierA
    But, Captain...
[02:56] Leonhardt
    Capture her.
[02:57] Leonhardt
    But do so respectfully.
[03:10] Lupin
    Will you shut up already?!
[03:13] Impey
    Aw, what's your problem?
[03:15] Lupin
    You need to be more aware
    of how serious this is.
[03:18] Lupin
    We're about to steal the
    treasure of a lifetime!
[03:21] Impey
    How long do we have to wait
    here telling ourselves that?
[03:24] Impey
    Are you sure those guys
    are gonna pass by here?
[03:27] Lupin
    Okay, listen. Being a thief means—
[03:30] Impey
    Having the patience to take all precautions
    and wait for the right moment?
[03:34] Impey
    Heard that before.
[03:35] Impey
    Here ya go. All done.
[03:38] Lupin
    Are you sure this will work?
[03:41] Impey
    Hey, I'm the world's number one genius
    engineer. You have my guarantee.
[03:45] Lupin
    I can't think of anything I'd trust
    less than your guarantee...
[03:50] Impey
    Is it them?
[03:53] Lupin
    No...
[03:54] Lupin
    That's the British Army.
[03:56] Impey
    What?!
[03:57] Impey
    That's not what our intel said!
[03:59] Impey
    Do you really wanna pick
    a fight with Queen Victoria?
[04:02] Impey
    Shouldn't we rethink our plan?
[04:04] Lupin
    No. We proceed as planned.
[04:06] Lupin
    You'll wait at the rendezvous
    point, as discussed.
[04:09] Impey
    Seriously?
[04:10] Impey
    Where's that "patience to take all precautions
     and wait for the right moment"?
[04:14] Lupin
    There's more to that saying.
[04:17] Lupin
    "And at times, you must also be daring.
    Otherwise, you can't be a thief."
[04:30] Leonhardt
    Troops, halt!
[04:32] Leonhardt
    On your guard!
[04:42] Lupin
    A job well done, gentlemen.
[04:45] Lupin
    The personal guard forces of the proud
    British Royal Family, committing a kidnapping?
[04:48] Lupin
    Her Majesty the Queen must
    be quite proud, indeed.
[04:52] Leonhardt
    You insult us?!
[04:54] Leonhardt
    Just who the hell are you?!
[04:57] Lupin
    My name is Arsène Lupin.
[05:00] Lupin
    Really, I'm undeserving of such alarm.
[05:02] Lupin
    I'm merely your run-of-the-mill
    dashing gentleman thief!
SIGN    Gentleman thief?
[05:10] Lupin
    My prize tonight is the captured princess.
[05:13] Lupin
    Behold, as I rescue her with style from
    the hands of you poorly-trained dogs.
[05:18] Leonhardt
    What was that?!
[05:20] SoldierA
    Shoot him!
[05:43] Leonhardt
    Calm down, all of you!
[05:45] Leonhardt
    Don't scatter! Maintain tight formation!
[05:49] Leonhardt
    I can't give commands in this...
[05:54] Leonhardt
    This is...
[05:59] Leonhardt
    Th-This smoke...
[06:02] Leonhardt
    is no... mere... smoke...
[06:14] Lupin
    Damn that Impey. This is way too much.
SIGN    You—
[06:22] Lupin
    Come, princess. Your hand.
[06:27] Lupin
    Oh, yeah... You have some scary
    poison or something, right?
[06:30] Lupin
    But those gloves are meant
    to contain it, aren't they?
SIGN    How did you...
[06:41] Lupin
    Don't worry. Just trust me.
[06:47] Lupin
    Allow me to introduce myself once more.
[06:49] Lupin
    My name is Arsène Lupin.
[06:52] Lupin
    For certain reasons, I have
    come to steal your heart.
SIGN    My... heart?
[06:59] Lupin
    Yes, precisely that. Your heart.
SIGN    What do... you... mean...
[07:05] Lupin
    Ah, I guess the drug from
    the smokescreen is kicking in.
[07:12] Lupin
    Goodnight, princess.
[07:25] Isaac
    Cardia,
[07:26] Isaac
    you must never leave this mansion.
[07:30] Isaac
    Because...
[07:32] Isaac
    you are a monster.
[07:40] Impey
    Man, there goes the steam engine again...
[07:42] Lupin
    Jeez, Impey... You sure this hunk of
    junk will get us to the mansion?
[07:49] Lupin
    What's with the big doe eyes?
[07:53] Lupin
    Are you surprised to see how handsome I am?
SIGN    No.
[07:58] Lupin
    No sense of humor...
[08:01] Impey
    Oh, Cardia! You're awake?
[08:03] Impey
    Hey! Nice to meet ya, cutie!
[08:06] Impey
    I'm the ultra gorgeous genius
    engineer and great inventor,
[08:10] Impey
    as well as the man who'll
    stand on the moon one day,
[08:12] Impey
    Impey Barbicane!
[08:14] Impey
    Call me Impey. Glad to know ya.
SIGN    Nice to... meet you...
SIGN    Um, how do you know my name?
[08:22] Lupin
    Well, we've been trying
    to find you forever.
[08:26] Lupin
    Of course we know your name.
[08:28] Impey
    Still, I didn't think the treasure you
    told me about would be this cute!
[08:32] Lupin
    Impey.
[08:33] Lupin
    Just shut up and fix this
    hunk of junk already.
[08:36] Impey
    Oh, sure, sure.
[08:39] Impey
    Okay, my little engine baby,
    cheer up for me, okay?
[08:46] Impey
    There! All set!
[08:49] Impey
    Sorry about that. She's so stubborn.
[08:52] Impey
    Of course, at your request, I'd be glad to
    perform love maintenance for you, too.
[08:58] Impey
    I'll tune you up tonight.
[09:03] Impey
    Er, huh?
[09:04] Lupin
    Just hurry up and start the car, Impey.
[09:07] Lupin
    We'll never get back at this rate.
[09:10] Impey
    Yeah, yeah.
[09:25] Lupin
    Oh, you've never seen it before, have you?
[09:28] Lupin
    That's industrial London.
[09:31] Lupin
    Home of our beloved Queen Victoria,
[09:35] Lupin
    and the political and economical center of
    not only England, but the whole world.
[09:43] Impey
    So you've never been to a big city before?
[09:47] Impey
    Then you and I should take
    a little time to...
[09:50] Impey
    No way! Those things are
    floating around now?
[09:53] Impey
    He's sure got it rough.
[09:55] Lupin
    If Saint hadn't taken him in,
    he'd probably be behind bars.
[09:59] Impey
    You said it.
SIGN    A terrorist?
[10:02] Impey
    Yep. He's a super bad guy.
[10:05] Lupin
    You can decide whether he's
    bad or not soon enough.
[10:08] Lupin
    We'll be there soon.
SIGN    "There"?
[10:11] Lupin
    Yep, at our stronghold.
[10:17] Impey
    Cardia, this way!
[10:20] Impey
    We're back!
[10:23] Lupin
    We just got in.
[10:25] Fran
    Welcome back, you two.
[10:27] Fran
    Good work.
[10:31] Lupin
    Here, Fran. A souvenir for you.
[10:33] Fran
    Wow... That's a problem.
[10:36] Lupin
    Well, it won't last.
[10:38] Lupin
    The British government is busy
     fighting wars against other nations.
[10:43] Lupin
    By the way, your sleep drug
    worked like a charm.
[10:46] Fran
    Oh, was it useful for you?
[10:48] Impey
    Cardia, this is Fran. He's one of us.
[10:53] Fran
    I'm Victor Frankenstein. Nice to meet you.
SIGN    Nice to meet you...
[10:57] Impey
    There's one other guy, Saint, but...
[11:00] Lupin
    Saint is, well... sort of like our patron.
[11:04] Lupin
    He lets us use this mansion.
[11:07] Lupin
    I'm sure he'll show up sooner or later.
[11:10] Fran
    Lupin, is she...
[11:12] Lupin
    Yep, no doubt about it.
[11:15] Lupin
    She's Isaac Beckford's daughter.
SIGN    You know... my father?
[11:24] Lupin
    Isaac Beckford.
[11:26] Lupin
    There's no one in England
    who doesn't know his name.
[11:29] Impey
    That's right.
[11:31] Impey
    London wouldn't be nearly
     as prosperous without him.
[11:36] Lupin
    He's a one-of-a-kind genius.
[11:40] Lupin
    Completely on his own,
[11:42] Lupin
    Isaac created things that should be
    impossible to make with today's science.
[11:46] Lupin
    The perpetual motion machine,
    the Horologium...
SIGN    Horologium?
[11:52] Lupin
    It's also known as the
    eternally-beating heart,
[11:56] Lupin
    capable of infinitely creating
     massive amounts of energy.
[12:01] Lupin
    Isaac embedded it in his
    own daughter's body.
[12:07] Lupin
    The British Army tried to kidnap you
[12:09] Lupin
    because they wanted that Horologium.
[12:12] Fran
    The British Army?
[12:14] Impey
    That's right.
[12:15] Impey
    They were using the Queen's
    personal guard as their pawns.
[12:19] Fran
    You're kidding...
SIGN    I...
SIGN    never knew
SIGN    what this thing was,
SIGN    or why such a terrible poison resides in my body.
SIGN    I don't know anything.
[12:39] Impey
    Cardia...
[12:45] Lupin
    This is your room.
[12:47] Lupin
    You must be tired, right?
    So call it a night and... wait...
[12:52] Lupin
    How do you usually sleep?
SIGN    My bed at the mansion, much like my clothes,
SIGN    was made so the poison wouldn't dissolve it.
[12:59] Lupin
    This bed... would dissolve, wouldn't it?
SIGN    My hair won't dissolve anything,
SIGN    so if I sleep on my back, it should be fine.
[13:08] Lupin
    Okay, then.
[13:10] Lupin
    I guess I'll ask Fran if he can
    do anything about the rest...
[13:14] Lupin
    Until then, well... just do your best.
[13:18] Lupin
    See ya.
SIGN    Lupin...
SIGN    When can I return to the mansion?
[13:27] Lupin
    Didn't I tell you?
     I came to steal your heart—
[13:34] Lupin
    Whoa, hey!
[13:36] Lupin
    Wh-What are you doing, you idiot?!
SIGN    By "heart," do you mean the Horologium?
SIGN    Why does everyone want these jewels?
SIGN    I don't know anything
SIGN    about my father, or even about myself.
SIGN    I have no memories prior to two years ago.
SIGN    Please tell me. Why did my father put this thing in me?
[14:04] Lupin
    A-All right! Just cover yourself back up!
SIGN    Why?
[14:09] Lupin
    Because that's how a lady's
    supposed to behave!
SIGN    Okay.
[14:13] Lupin
    Sheesh... Do you know what might've
    happened if I weren't a gentleman?
[14:18] Lupin
    All I know about Isaac is
    what I told you earlier.
[14:23] Lupin
    So I don't know why he put
    that thing in your chest,
[14:28] Lupin
    but I do know why everyone wants it.
[14:33] Lupin
    The guys who tried to kidnap you
    last night were the British Army,
[14:37] Lupin
    but the guys manipulating
    them from the shadows
[14:40] Lupin
    are most likely Twilight.
SIGN    Twilight?
[14:45] Lupin
    They want to use the Horologium
    to do something horrible.
[14:50] Lupin
    A large-scale terrorist plot that
    would overthrow all of London.
[14:54] Lupin
    And Isaac's intentions have
    something to do with that.
SIGN    You mean my father is planning a terrorist attack?
[15:03] Lupin
    The reason I captured you was to stop them.
[15:07] Lupin
    We can't let Twilight have the Horologium.
[15:11] Lupin
    Sorry, but I can't let you go home.
SIGN    But I...
SIGN    can't stay here.
SIGN    I can't.
[15:24] Lupin
    You must be tired. For now...
[15:28] Lupin
    get some rest.
[15:33] Lupin
    I will see this through.
[15:35] Lupin
    If that can be my atonement...
[15:40] Lupin
    I'm right, aren't I, Master?
[15:44] (Flashback) Isaac
    You are a monster.
[15:46] (Flashback) Isaac
    You bring misfortune to others.
[15:49] (Flashback) Isaac
    That is why you must live
    your life in isolation.
SIGN    Father...
SIGN    G-Good evening.
SIGN    Do you live in this mansion?
SIGN    Your leg...
[16:32] Lupin
    She's gone?!
[16:34] Fran
    Maybe she just got lost in the mansion?
[16:36] Impey
    I looked for her. She's not here!
[16:39] Impey
    You're the one who last
    saw her, right, Lupin?
[16:41] Impey
    How was she acting then?
[16:43] Lupin
    How was she acting? Well...
[16:45] Lupin
    She was confused... I guess.
[16:48] Impey
    No kidding! Of course she's confused!
[16:50] Impey
    You didn't say, "You can never escape,
    ga-ha-ha," or anything, did you?!
[16:56] Lupin
    I didn't make it sound that crude.
[16:58] Impey
    But you said something like it?!
[17:02] Impey
    Unbelievable! And you call
    yourself a gentleman?
[17:05] Fran
    She must have been scared,
[17:07] Fran
    suddenly being kidnapped
    and confined like that...
[17:10] Lupin
    We didn't confine her!
    She's free to come and go—
[17:15] Fran
    Maybe she's trying...
[17:18] Fran
    to go back home?
[17:20] Impey
    Wait, that would be really, really bad!
[17:22] Impey
    Cardia's got Twilight, the British Army
    and half the world after her!
[17:27] Lupin
    We should split up and look for her.
SIGN    Thank goodness.
SIGN    It's cold out here. Let's go back inside.
SIGN    Don't...
SIGN    No!
[18:03] Lupin
    Cardia!
[18:06] Lupin
    Don't scare me like that.
SIGN    I couldn't...
SIGN    I couldn't help. It died.
SIGN    Because of me.
SIGN    My father was right.
SIGN    I am a monster.
SIGN    I bring misfortune to others.
SIGN    That is why I must live my life in isolation.
[18:37] Lupin
    No.
[18:40] Lupin
    There's no one in this world
    who has to live in isolation.
[18:45] Lupin
    You need to value yourself more.
[18:51] Impey
    My angel!
[18:53] Fran
    I'm so glad we found you!
[18:54] Impey
    Cardia, we were so worried!
[18:57] Lupin
    Stay here, Cardia.
[18:59] Lupin
    Sisi seems to have taken
    a liking to you, too.
[19:04] Impey
    All right! Let's all throw
    her a welcome party!
[19:07] Fran
    Right now? Shouldn't we go to bed?
[19:11] Impey
    We can sleep tomorrow!
[19:11] Lupin
    Noisy, aren't they?
[19:12] Impe
    All right! Let's have a blast!
[19:13] Lupin
    They're not bad to have as buddies, though.
SIGN    Buddies?
SIGN    Lupin...
SIGN    I still don't know if I should stay here.
SIGN    But...
SIGN    This place seems warm.
[19:36] Lupin
    Then you should stay.
[19:38] Lupin
    Do what you want to do.
SIGN    What I want to do?
[19:43] Lupin
    Don't you want to know
    more about this world?
[19:48] Lupin
    About your father?
[19:49] Lupin
    And don't you want to know about yourself?
[19:53] Lupin
    You don't have to wait.
    We can go looking for it.
[19:57] Lupin
    I'm Arsène Lupin, the gentleman thief.
[20:01] Lupin
    Whatever I want, I steal.
[20:04] Lupin
    If you stay with us, you'll
    find your answers eventually.
[20:13] Lupin
    Glad you're here, Cardia.
[20:35] Lupin
    Don't freeze up on me, miss.
[20:42] Lupin
    Let's see... I told you I was going
    to steal that precious heart,
[20:47] Lupin
    so in return, I'll grant one wish for you.
SIGN    A wish?
[20:55] Lupin
    Yes, indeed.
[20:57] Lupin
    This humble thief swears to grant
    your wish, and that's the truth.
SIGN    I have none.
SIGN    I can't think of a wish.
SIGN    I've never even thought about what I'd wish for.
[21:15] Lupin
    Is that right?
[21:17] Lupin
    Well, no need to rush.
[21:20] Lupin
    Let's go, Cardia.
[21:23] Cardia
    My heart responds to his words.
[21:27] Cardia
    Something that I thought was tightly
    sealed deep within my chest
[21:32] Cardia
    seems to be rattling as it stirs.
[21:36] Cardia
    I want to know many things.
[21:41] Cardia
    Where is my father?
[21:43] Cardia
    And just what am I?
