**[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.
