[00:02] Impey
    Rebuild an airship?
[00:04] Impey
    Sure, I can do that. Why?
[00:06] Saint
    I'm glad to hear it.
[00:08] Saint
    The truth is I would like you
    to win the Black Gathering.
[00:12] Impey
    Huh?! You're telling me to enter that?
SIGN    The Black Gathering?
[00:17] Lupin
    It's an airship race.
[00:19] Lupin
    It's sponsored by a mafia
    alliance and held once a year.
[00:23] Saint
    Rumor has it this year's top prize is
[00:26] Saint
    the posthumous writings of Isaac Beckford.
SIGN    My father's?
[00:34] Fran
    It wouldn't be easy to find
    those floating around,
[00:37] Fran
    but if they're real, they could
    offer some clues about him.
[00:40] Saint
    Yes, and they may even give us an
    idea as to where his laboratory is.
[00:45] Saint
    I believe it would be worth
    our while to participate.
[00:50] Van
    There must be some other way to
    get them without entering the race.
[00:54] Lupin
    Which would mean it's my turn.
[00:56] Saint
    But...
[00:58] Saint
    I hear that Herlock Sholmes
    will be guarding the prize.
[01:06] Lupin
    All right! We're entering that race!
[01:08] Impey
    You changed your mind fast!
[01:10] Fran
    What do we do about an airship, though?
[01:14] Fran
    We don't have one.
[01:16] Lupin
    Don't worry. I'll take care of that.
[01:20] Saint
    It's settled, then. I'm
    counting on you, Impey.
[01:23] Impey
    Wow, a race!
[01:27] Impey
    I can't wait to show off
    my genius engineer skills!
SIGN    Illegal Race
[03:01] Dracula
    That Lupin truly is something.
[03:04] Dracula
    Where did he manage to get this thing?
SIGN    He said he stole it from "a source that will cause us no guilt."
[03:15] Lupin
    Oh, yeah, that.
[03:17] Lupin
    Don't worry about it.
SIGN    Lupin...
[03:21] Lupin
    Where's Impey?
[03:23] Lupin
    I don't see him around.
SIGN    He's in the workshop.
SIGN    Apparently he's rebuilding the engine.
[03:29] Lupin
    I see.
[03:30] Lupin
    We're all gonna be busy
    getting funds together,
[03:33] Lupin
    so you'll have to help him out.
SIGN    I'll take care of it.
[03:37] Lupin
    If he tries anything funny, you don't have
    to show any mercy in punishing him.
SIGN    Van recently taught me an effective kick.
[03:48] Lupin
    Th-That looks pretty good, all right.
[03:52] Lupin
    I like that smile. Amps up my motivation.
[03:55] Dracula
    I think your smile looks very good, too!
SIGN    Thanks, Drac.
[04:02] Impey
    Make the walls thicker to
    increase air pressure...
[04:05] Impey
    No, I might as well overhaul
    the whole control system...
SIGN    Impey, sorry to interrupt.
SIGN    Um...
[04:20] Impey
    These sandwiches are amazing!
[04:22] Impey
    Delicious!
SIGN    I'm glad.
SIGN    I didn't do a very good job making them.
[04:27] Impey
    No, they're great!
SIGN    Is the rebuild going well?
[04:33] Impey
    I've been trying a lot of stuff,
[04:35] Impey
    but it's still not quite enough horsepower.
[04:40] Impey
    I'll handle it, though. Leave it to me.
[04:42] Impey
    After all, I'm the man who's
    gonna go to the moon someday!
SIGN    You said that before, too.
SIGN    But you mean... the moon?
[04:50] Impey
    Yeah! The moon!
[04:52] Impey
    It's my dream!
[04:55] Impey
    It all started with a steam engine.
[04:59] Impey
    The first time I saw one,
[05:01] Impey
    I thought it was so cool.
[05:03] Impey
    It was enough to change my whole world.
[05:06] Impey
    I wanted to make things like that, too.
[05:10] Impey
    Of course, it didn't work
    out so well at first.
[05:15] Impey
    My master... or teacher,
    whatever you'd call him...
[05:18] Impey
    He told me something.
[05:20] Impey
    "Science is the power that makes
    the impossible possible."
[05:23] Impey
    "It's the dreams and hopes of all people."
[05:26] Impey
    "It can even take you to the moon."
[05:29] Impey
    I was so excited. I mean, it's the moon!
[05:33] Impey
    If I could pull it off, anyone who
    saw me would think it was amazing!
[05:37] Impey
    Just like I did as a kid!
[05:40] Impey
    That's why I'm gonna go to the moon.
[05:42] Impey
    To prove that science is all
    of our hopes and dreams.
[05:45] Impey
    Everyone made fun of me,
    saying that was ridiculous.
[05:50] Impey
    I'm serious, though.
[05:54] Impey
    So a little rebuild like this is nothing!
[05:57] Impey
    I'll win that race, no matter what!
    For your sake too, Cardia!
[06:08] Lupin
    Ugh, Impey... Give me a break!
[06:12] Van
    Who knew he could be so absent-minded?
[06:15] Van
    This is beyond my expectations.
[06:18] (Flashback) Impey
    This is the top Asian style
    of apology: the kneeling bow!
[06:22] (Flashback) Impey
    I'm sorry. The rebuild isn't done yet.
[06:26] Dracula
    Isn't the race about to start?
[06:28] Dracula
    Is he gonna make it?
[06:31] Saint
    Who can say? Punctuality
    certainly isn't his strong suit.
[06:35] Fran
    C-Count, how can you sound so unconcerned?
[06:39] Lupin
    Impey...
SIGN    W-We mustn't get nervous.
SIGN    I know Impey will be here soon...
[06:48] Impey
    Sorry for the wait!
[06:50] Impey
    The star of the show is here!
[06:52] Lupin
    Impey! You had me worried!
[07:00] Impey
    What do you think? That's ol' Impey for ya!
[07:03] Impey
    I'm a man who keeps his promises!
[07:06] Lupin
    Yeah, yeah. Come on,
    let's start getting ready.
[07:09] Van
    If you'd been any later,
     I'd have shot you full of lead.
[07:12] Impey
    Jeez, you guys are cold!
    You could be a little more sympathetic.
[07:17] Nemo
    My... How wonderful!
[07:20] Nemo
    What a truly wonderful ship!
[07:23] Impey
    Really? You understand my ship?
[07:26] Nemo
    I do! Of course I do!
[07:28] Nemo
    I am the scientist who will one day
    expose the truth of this world!
[07:31] Nemo
    My name is... Nemo!
[07:34] Nemo
    And now you know.
[07:36] Impey
    Uh...
[07:37] Impey
    W-Well, I don't really get you...
[07:41] Impey
    But just look at this functional beauty!
[07:45] Impey
    Just like a young maiden, isn't it?
[07:47] Nemo
    Yes, I get it! Of course I do!
[07:49] Nemo
    Like a bashful girl in love!
SIGN    Nemo?
[07:52] Fran
    Yes, Nemo.
[07:54] Lupin
    What's up?
[07:55] Fran
    Well, just...
[07:58] Fran
    I know him, actually.
[08:01] Fran
    When I was part of the Royal Society,
    he declared me his rival.
[08:06] Saint
    Ah, so you're saying
    he's quite the nuisance.
[08:11] Nemo
    Very good!
[08:12] Nemo
    It was surely fate that led me to meet
    a wonderful fellow scientist here!
[08:16] Nemo
    Allow me to give you a special tour
    of my prototype airship, the Fulton!
[08:22] Impey
    I'm in! Wait, prototype?
[08:24] Nemo
    Yes, of course!
[08:25] Nemo
    One day, I will create the wonder
    battle airship Nautilus!
[08:28] Lupin
    Hey, he's leaving with him!
SIGN    That's okay.
SIGN    I can get it ready to fly.
SIGN    Has everyone finished their checks?
[08:38] Lupin
    Observation deck, clear.
[08:41] Van
    Main deck, clear.
[08:44] Fran
    The engine room's clear, too.
[08:46] Impey
    Oh? You're doing a fine job as captain.
SIGN    Impey, all the flight preparations are complete.
SIGN    Everything is clear.
[08:55] Impey
    Okay. I just got us an aether transmitter.
SIGN    What was that man's... Nemo's ship like?
[09:03] Impey
    Well... It was impressive, all right.
[09:06] Impey
    Of course, we're still
    going to win, though.
[09:09] Guy
    Ladies and gentlemen!
[09:11] Guy
    The long wait is now over!
[09:14] Guy
    The Black Gathering race is about to begin!
[09:18] Dracula
    Make sure you win!
[09:22] Impey
    We fly along the Thames,
[09:24] Impey
    turn around when we reach Big Ben,
[09:25] Impey
    and fly back here. That's the course.
[09:28] Impey
    I'll be counting on your guidance.
SIGN    Leave it to me.
[09:31] Impey
    Start us off at full throttle!
[09:33] Impey
    We shoot straight up until we reach altitude!
[09:36] Fran
    Roger.
[09:49] Guy
    Three!
[09:51] Guy
    Two!
[09:52] Guy
    One!
[09:53] Guy
    Start!
[09:57] Guy
    The race has finally begun!
[10:00] Guy
    Jumping into an early lead is the
    rookie ship flying its first race,
[10:04] Guy
    the Impey, Princess, and Henchmen!
[10:07] Lupin
    Hey! I heard that, Impey!
    Who are you calling henchmen?!
[10:10] Impey
    Don't get so mad.
[10:12] Impey
    It's just a little playful spirit.
[10:14] Saint
    I suppose I would have to
    say that's just like you.
[10:17] Guy
    Uh, that name is too long, so I'll just
    call it the Princess and Henchmen.
[10:22] Impey
    Hey! The most important part's gone!
[10:27] Lupin
    Ship approaching at eight o'clock!
[10:29] Lupin
    It's gonna ram us!
[10:33] Guy
    The Purple Lightning Sky Pirate attacks!
[10:36] Guy
    An intense battle has begun!
[10:38] Impey
    Fran! Increase engine speed!
[10:41] Fran
    Roger!
[10:46] Impey
    Good! That's it!
[10:48] Van
    But with no guns, we have no way to attack.
[10:52] Impey
    Yeah, I got rid of them
    to reduce our weight.
[10:54] Impey
    At any rate, to flee is to win!
[10:56] Lupin
    All right, if we just
    stay in first place...
[11:00] Lupin
    Impey, we've got trouble!
    The paint's flaking off!
[11:03] Impey
    The paint? Like that even matters.
[11:06] Lupin
    It does matter!
[11:09] MafiaA
    Hey, isn't that our ship?
[11:11] MafiaB
    That emblem... It's definitely ours!
[11:14] Guy
    Oh, dear! Now this is
     a shocking development!
[11:17] Guy
    It's been discovered that the Princess
    and Henchmen is a ship stolen
[11:21] Guy
    from the Adele and Brutus Firm!
[11:23] Guy
    Word has it there's a cash reward of
    20 million for whoever shoots it down!
SIGN    So the "source that will cause us no guilt" Lupin mentioned was...
[11:33] Impey
    The bookie?
[11:34] Impey
    If you had to steal it, couldn't you
    have stolen it from somewhere else?
[11:38] Lupin
    Well, they know now!
    There's no changing that!
[11:40] Lupin
    More importantly,
     they're coming up behind us!
[11:42] Impey
    Behind us?
[11:45] Impey
    No way!
[11:46] Impey
    There's no way they could
    catch up to this ship!
[11:50] Lupin
    They're prepared to self-destruct...
[11:52] Lupin
    They're so blinded by the reward money,
    they've abandoned the race!
[11:57] Guy
    The Princess and Henchmen is hit!
[12:01] Impey
    Status report!
[12:03] Van
    The lower armor took a hit.
[12:04] Van
    Looks like there's a hole.
[12:06] Saint
    Air pump 12 is damaged.
[12:08] Saint
    Expelling ballast water to
    regulate our buoyancy.
[12:13] Impey
    Damn you!
[12:14] Guy
    It's dodging! The Princess and
    Henchmen is certainly tenacious!
[12:18] Guy
    It's dodging the concentrated fire
     with skillful maneuvering!
[12:23] Van
    But with this many of them surrounding us,
     we'll be caught eventually.
[12:36] Lupin
    Impey!
[12:37] Lupin
    Something's coming!
SIGN    They helped us?
[12:46] Impey
    No, that's...
[12:48] Nemo
    Impey Barbicane... Your ship is wonderful.
[12:53] Nemo
    However, the Fulton is going to win!
[13:10] Nemo
    Impey Barbicane... Your ship is wonderful.
[13:14] Nemo
    However the Fulton is going to win!
[13:20] Nemo
    Behold, my ingenious technical prowess!
[13:33] Nemo
    There is no escape from the Fulton!
[13:40] Lupin
    Impey!
[13:40] Lupin
    It's the turn-around point!
    Shake him off here!
[13:43] Impey
    Oh, damn it!
[13:45] Impey
    Fran! Crank the engine up to the red zone!
[13:48] Fran
    Red zone! Okay!
[13:56] Nemo
    What?!
[13:58] Impey
    Yes!
[13:59] Lupin
    Impey! In front of us!
[14:01] Impey
    What now?
[14:04] Impey
    Huh?!
[14:05] Impey
    You're kidding me!
[14:08] Van
    They knew they couldn't
    catch us on the first leg,
[14:10] Van
    so they ambushed us on the return trip.
[14:18] Guy
    The Princess and Henchmen
[14:19] Guy
    is forced to hide in the clouds!
[14:21] Guy
    It's taken a lot of damage!
[14:24] Fran
    The engine's hit!
[14:25] Fran
    One engine's down!
[14:26] Saint
    Air pump damaged.
[14:27] Saint
    If we lose one more, we're going down!
[14:31] Lupin
    What do we do, Impey?
[14:32] Lupin
    We have to do something about them!
[14:37] Impey
    I thought this might happen!
[14:43] Van
    Hey, what is this?
[14:45] Impey
    This ship's greatest, most
    powerful secret weapon!
[14:48] Impey
    Cardia, prepare to counterattack.
SIGN    Got it.
[14:57] Saint
    Cardia, your orders, please.
SIGN    First, follow these steps to put Van in the capsule.
[15:07] Van
    What did you say you were gonna do to me?
[15:10] Van
    Hey! Hey!
[15:13] Van
    Who do you think I am?! Let me out!
[15:13] Saint
    All set.
SIGN    Is this...
[15:15] Van
    Hey!
[15:17] Impey
    Yep!
[15:18] Impey
    Time for Impey's Special Helsing Cannon!
[15:27] Impey
    Here we go!
[15:28] Impey
    Prepare to fire!
[15:29] Impey
    Three!
[15:31] Impey
    Two!
[15:32] Impey
    One!
[15:32] Impey
    Blast the hell out of 'em!
SIGN    But...
[15:36] Saint
    And push.
[15:48] Impey
    Van!
[15:49] Impey
    Go as wild on 'em as you want!
[15:52] Van
    Impey, I'll make you regret that later!
[16:17] Guy
    Wh-What is happening?
[16:20] Guy
    One of the Princess and Henchmen's crew
    is taking over an enemy ship on foot!
[16:26] Lupin
    Impey! The big one's coming!
[16:28] Impey
    Roger!
[16:33] Guy
    Oh, my! The Fulton has caught up
    and resumed its vicious attack!
[16:37] Nemo
    You won't get away!
[16:44] Nemo
    The Fulton will be the winner!
[16:58] Nemo
    What?!
[17:00] Van
    I'm sick of that damn laugh of yours.
[17:09] Van
    The Fulton is conquered.
[17:16] Impey
    Van!
[17:25] Nemo
    I may have lost this time,
[17:28] Nemo
    but I will someday face you in battle again!
[17:33] Nemo
    I'll be back!
[17:37] Guy
    The Fulton has exploded!
[17:40] Fran
    E-Exploded?! What about Van?!
[17:42] Impey
    No worries! He's on his way back now!
SIGN    Van, are you all right?
[17:51] Van
    N-No problem.
[17:53] Van
    I'm fine. You need to head back.
SIGN    R-Right.
[17:58] Van
    Impey, you know what's coming, don't you?
[18:02] Impey
    Yikes, I'm scared!
[18:04] Impey
    Welcome back, Cardia.
SIGN    Thanks, I'm—
[18:08] Guy
    Uh-oh! The Princess and Henchmen
    is starting to fall!
[18:12] Guy
    Is it going to crash?!
[18:17] Impey
    Fran?!
[18:18] Fran
    Um, I have news.
[18:21] Fran
    The engine has completely overheated.
[18:24] Fran
    In other words...
[18:25] Fran
    Yeah, we're going down.
SIGN    Going down?
[18:30] Guy
    Will they reach the goal or crash first?!
[18:33] Guy
    They're in an endless dead heat with death!
[18:36] Impey
    Fine by me!
[18:37] Impey
    I'm all for a dynamic,
    dramatic emergency landing!
SIGN    Impey...
[18:43] Impey
    I do still intend to reach the goal,
    but I'll apologize in advance.
[18:47] Lupin
    Well, Impey does usually manage
    to pull it off when it counts.
[18:51] Fran
    True.
[18:53] Saint
    Isn't a bit of thrill a good thing?
SIGN    It'll be okay.
SIGN    You can do it, Impey.
SIGN    You can reach the goal...
SIGN    and go to the moon.
[19:08] Impey
    Thanks, Cardia!
[19:10] Impey
    Those words give me the
    strength of a hundred men!
[19:16] Crowd
    Go!
[19:18] Dracula
    Impey! You're nearly at the goal!
[19:21] Impey
    Go!
[19:37] Impey
    With Impey's skills on your side,
     you're sure to win!
[19:42] Lupin
    You liar. We nearly died.
SIGN    But the airship broke. Will things be all right?
[19:49] Saint
    With all these unexpected developments,
    the gamblers had a field day.
[19:53] Saint
    I'm sure the sponsors made a nice profit.
[19:55] Saint
    They're placing no blame this time.
[19:59] Dracula
    That was terribly reckless, you know?
[20:02] Impey
    Still...
[20:05] Impey
    This brings us one step closer
    to your dream, Cardia.
SIGN    My dream?
[20:14] Impey
    Yeah! We'll start by getting rid
    of the poison in your body!
SIGN    Thanks, Impey.
[20:26] Lupin
    Enjoying yourself, eh?
SIGN    Yes, I am.
[20:35] Guy
    Now, let's take a picture of our winners.
[20:37] Guy
    Squeeze together.
[20:39] Impey
    Come on, Drac. You and
    Sisi get in this, too.
[20:42] Dracula
    Sh-Should I stand here?
[20:44] Guy
    You, the young man with
    glasses! Smile for me!
[20:47] Guy
    You're frowning!
[20:50] Lupin
    He sure told you.
[20:53] Cardia
    When we're together, I have fun.
[20:57] Cardia
    When we're together,
    it makes me want to dream.
[21:00] Cardia
    No matter what happens from now on,
[21:03] Cardia
    I know that this day...
[21:06] Guy
    All right, here we go!
[21:08] All
    Watch the birdie!
[21:12] Cardia
    ...will be a precious memory for me.
[23:01] Lupin
    This... is Isaac's lab?
[23:14] Finis
    Why don't you stop pretending to be human?
SIGN    Are these...
[23:26] Lupin
    Homunculus?
[23:29] Finis
    After all, my sister, you are truly...
[23:35] Finis
    a monster.
