    The lab seems to have quite
    a lot invested in this girl genius.
[00:26] Press B
    Well, it's thanks to her
[00:27] Press B
    that they've been able to secure
    the largest budget in their history.
[00:30] Press B

[03:15] Edward
    Excuse me.
[03:18] Edward
    What are you doing?
[03:22] Four
    Looking at cells.
[03:24] Edward
    Cells?
[03:25] Four
    From a tiger.
[03:26] Edward
    A tiger? Why?
[03:28] Four
    I was curious if they could grow gigantic.
[03:31] Edward
    Could tigers actually get that big?
[03:34] Four
    They used to. More specifically,
    a subspecies of tiger.
[03:37] Four
    Or maybe a life-form that
    only resembled tigers.
[03:41] Four
    Hand me that.
[03:46] Edward
    What is this subspecies,
    or the similar but different creature?
[03:50] Edward
    You're asking a lot of questions.
[03:52] Edward
    Are you interested?
[03:53] Edward
    Well, it's just... I like animals.
     So I was curious.
[03:59] Four
    I like them, too.
[04:01] Four
    But who are you, anyway?
[04:03] Edward
    Oh, I'm Edward Chi.
[04:06] Edward
    I'm starting my new job as
    a special researcher in the lab today.
[04:10] Edward
    I was told to wait in here.
[04:13] Four
    Then that makes you my assistant.
[04:19] Four
    My name is Four Tune. I'm a special
    researcher for Science Laboratories.
[04:23] Edward
    Y-You are?!
[04:25] Four
    I noticed you didn't treat me like a child.
[04:30] Four
    I like that.
[04:32] Edward
    I-I see. Well, it's a pleasure.
[04:37] Four
    Sorry to rush you, but I was about
    to start in on a bear dissection.
[04:41] Four
    Help me out.
SIGN    Today's
    Recommendation:
    
    Honey Jelly
SIGN    Bears
    love it!
[04:51] Four
    Time to eat.
[04:58] Four
    You're not going to eat?
[05:01] Edward
    I've just never seen so much
    bloody flesh before...
[05:05] Edward
    Excuse me—
[05:08] Four
    You must come from a fancy home.
[05:12] Four
    We'll be dissecting a water buffalo tomorrow.
[05:18] Edward
    But you come from a sophisticated
    background too, right?
[05:23] Four
    What makes you think that?
[05:25] Edward
    The Tune family is in a class of their own
    in terms of wealth. With a long lineage.
[05:29] Four
    And that's why I'm here.
[05:32] Four
    Because a prim and proper family like that
    doesn't need a weirdo like me.
[05:37] Edward
    That's...
[05:38] Four
    Hand me the file from that shelf,
    and open it to page 10.
[05:49] Edward
    What is all this?
[05:51] Four
    I spilled hot cocoa.
[05:58] Four
    I can be pretty clumsy
    when I get focused on my work...
[06:02] Four
    Granted, my handwriting is so bad,
    I can't always read it either way.
[06:07] Four
    But I'm writing things down just in case.
    I remember most of it, so it's fine.
[06:19] Edward
    I wonder how long she intends on staying...
[06:23] Edward
    Y'know, they're going to be locking up soon.
[06:26] Four
    Is it that late already?
[06:28] Four
    Have a good night, then.
[06:30] Edward
    You're not going home?
[06:32] Four
    I'd just have to come back
    if I did. Too much work.
[06:36] Edward
    Have you been... sleeping in here?
[06:45] Four
    It's fine. I have pajamas to change into.
[06:48] Edward
    But that's... You're still so—
[06:53] Four
    The guards are around, so I'm not scared.
[06:55] Four
    Bye-bye. See you tomorrow.
[07:18] Edward
    Good morning.
[07:20] Edward
    Care for a drink?
[07:23] Four
    Wow. Thank you!
[07:33] Four
    You're so weird, Ed.
[07:35] Edward
    Coming from you, that's a bit much...
[07:38] Four
    So mean!
[07:41] Edward
    I made sandwiches. Would you like some?
[07:45] Four
    I would!
[07:47] Four
    Thank you for the food!
[07:49] Edward
    Go ahead.
[07:51] Four
    Tasty!
[07:55] Four
    What is this?! It's amazing!
[07:58] Edward
    I went ahead and made another copy.
[08:00] Four
    You did?!
[08:01] Four
    Your handwriting is
    beautiful! And so legible!
[08:05] Four
    Oh, right. That reminds me...
[08:18] Four
    I see. That explains it...
SIGN    Girl genius makes historical discovery
SIGN    Ancient texts previously thought unreadable finally deciphered
[08:39] Edward
    You looked like you'd forgotten
    about eating and sleeping properly...
[08:44] Edward
    I'm glad you're doing better.
[08:46] Four
    All thanks to you, Ed.
[08:49] Four
    You organizing my files has helped me make
    real progress deciphering the ancient texts.
[08:54] Four
    It's so strange. It's just a copy
    of stuff I already wrote down,
[08:58] Four
    but going through it makes me feel
     like my thoughts are being organized.
[09:02] Edward
    I'm glad I was able to be of help.
[09:07] Four
    I'd like you to always work by my side.
[09:12] Press A
    Miss Four Tune!
[09:14] Press A
    Good afternoon. That is you, yes?
[09:17] Four
    Who're you?
[09:19] Press A
    I'm a reporter with Most News.
    Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?
[09:25] Four
    Go ahead.
[09:27] Ed
    Well, I'll take care of the dishes.
[09:29] Four
    Sure. See you later.

[10:00] Edward
    What is this?!
[10:05] Press A
    What are you doing, man?!
[10:06] Edward
    I'm her assistant!
[10:08] Edward
    If you want an interview, you need to arrange
    for it in advance and in an appropriate fashion.
[10:12] Edward
    Did you even get permission
    to enter the lab?
[10:15] Edward
    I will call security.
[10:17] Press B
    Okay, okay! Some other time, then.
[10:22] Press B
    Damn...
[10:24] Press B
    What was that about?
[10:28] Four
    You dropped this!
[10:30] Edward
    Are you all right?
[10:31] Four
    They didn't do anything.
[10:34] Edward
    But seeing them swarm you like that...
[10:37] Edward
    I was worried.
[10:39] Four
    I wasn't.
[10:41] Four
    And having a lot of attention
    brings certain advantages.
[10:45] Four
    Like making the chairman more cooperative.
[10:48] Edward
    A public spotlight doesn't
    always have positive effects.
[10:53] Four
    Never mind that. Ed, can you read this?
[10:57] Edward
    Don't be silly. How could I if you can't?
[11:00] Four
    It's so weird. It's got the same patterns
    I've used to decipher everything else,
[11:04] Four
    but this part is almost
    like another language.
[11:07] Four
    I wonder why.
[11:15] Edward
    Look out!
[11:19] Four
    What a relief!
[11:22] Edward
    Four Tune, stop eating and please get a rag!
[11:26] Edward
    Four Tune?
[11:28] Four
    I see. It was written backwards.
[11:31] Four
    Why is only this part backwards?!
[11:33] Four
    That has to imply some level of
    importance and secrecy, right?
[11:37] Four
    It has to!
[12:12] Four
    If the ancient texts are right,
    it should be down here...
[12:26] Four
    Oh, no. I should have
    expected something like this.
[12:30] Four
    But if I go back to grab a light,
    I might not make it back inside.
[12:35] Four
    What do I do...?
[12:40] Four
    Here we go! I'm in luck.
[12:53] Four
    This is it.
[12:55] Four
    This is what I was looking for!
[13:02] Edward
    Four Tune! I've been looking for you.
[13:04] Edward
    Where have you been?
[13:09] Edward
    Four Tune?
[13:10] Four
    Not now.
[13:50] Four
    It's done...
SIGN    The Sinking and
    Likely Resurfacing of
    the Mo Continent
[13:52] Edward
    The Mo Continent?
[13:54] Edward
    What is that?
[13:55] Four
    The land that was home to the advanced
    civilization of beastmen
[13:59] Four
    who once ruled the world.
[14:01] Edward
    An advanced civilization of beastmen?
[14:04] Edward
    What are you talking about?
[14:09] Four
    I found this at my grandfather's villa.
[14:27] Four
    Locally, it had become known
    as a cursed stone and was feared.
[14:32] Four
    The kind that curses you
    when you touch it.
[14:34] Four
    Specifically, it causes corns on your feet.
[14:37] Four
    One of my ancestors, who was the
    local lord, took it and enshrined it.
[14:43] Four
    I wanted to see if it
    would really curse me...
[14:50] Four
    And that's when I saw it.
[14:54] Four
    A vision of who I really am.
[14:59] Four
    I'm a beast person, from the Mo Continent.
[15:03] Four
    A Motarian.
[15:06] Four
    I want to take my true form.
[15:09] Four
    That's why I've been doing this research.
[15:12] Chairman
    It seems our girl genius
    has written a new paper!
[15:16] Chair A
    Yes, sir. We haven't verified
    the contents yet, but...
[15:19] Chariman
    Then let's debut it at an
    urgent press conference!
[15:22] Chair B
    Is that a good idea?
[15:25] Chariman
    It's fine! Why not use the chance
    to add some more heat to our popularity?
[15:32] Reporter
    We'll be hearing from the youngest individual

[15:34] Reporter

[16:37] Edward
    She lives in a place like this...?
[16:43] Edward
    Four Tune? Are you there?
[16:45] Edward
    Please open up if you are.
[16:47] Four
    Go away.
[16:49] Edward
    You quit the lab so suddenly.
    I've been worried.
[16:53] Four
    Go away.
[16:55] Edward
    What's become of your Mo Continent research?
[16:59] Four
    The chairman said I won't
    get any more support for it.
[17:04] Four
    Go away.
[17:06] Edward
    I'll be back.
[17:12] Edward
    Four Tune?
[17:13] Four
    You actually came? Go away.
[17:15] Edward
    Have you eaten?
[17:17] Edward
    I made some sandwiches.
[17:20] Edward
    Help yourself, if you'd like.
[17:22] Edward
    I'm going to leave them out here.
[17:45] Edward
    Four Tune! I made rice balls today.
[17:51] Edward
    Four Tune, today is pancakes.
[17:56] Edward
    Your research on the Mo Continent...
    you're continuing it, right?
[18:03] Edward
    If there's anything I can do,
    just let me know.
[18:09] Edward
    I'll be back.
[18:12] Four
    Why?
[18:14] Four
    Why are you being so nice to me?
[18:18] Edward
    When I first met you, you said you liked me
    because I didn't treat you like a child.
[18:26] Four
    Did that happen...?
[18:29] Edward
    But I did treat you like a child back then.
[18:32] Edward
    I might even be doing that right now.
[18:34] Edward
    And that's been bothering me all along.
[18:39] Edward
    I don't know... I feel like I need
    to make up for it.
[18:48] Four
    You're so dumb, Ed.
[19:07] Edward
    I paid your utilities off.
[19:13] Edward
    Four Tune?
[19:15] Four
    Ed...
[19:16] Edward
    What is it?
[19:20] Four
    Watch this.
[19:32] Edward
    Remarkable...
[19:34] Edward
    This is incredible! You look gorgeous!
[19:38] Edward
    I'm sure academia will lose its mind
    when you show them this!
[19:42] Four
    No. It's not enough.
[19:45] Four
    I need more conclusive proof.
[19:48] Edward
    Such as?
[19:50] Four
    The resurfaced Mo Continent.
[19:53] Edward
    You intend to raise it...?
[19:55] Four
    I'll need to do a lot of work to
    make it happen. And I'll need money.
[20:01] Edward
    I have a plan for that, actually.
[20:08] Edward
    I've started a company.
[20:09] Edward
    It's still small, for now,
[20:12] Edward
    but in the future, I intend
    to be involved in a variety of businesses
[20:15] Edward
    in order to help your research.
[20:17] Four
    This is amazing...
[20:19] Edward
    I also intend on looking
    for people like you.
[20:21] Four
    What do you mean?
[20:23] Edward
    Well, I believe there are other people
    out there with the memories of beast people.
[20:30] Edward
    The more you gather, the more
    irrefutable your proof will be.
[20:34] Four
    I see...
[20:36] Four
    The things Ed did after that were incredible.
[20:39] Four
    He expanded his business
    in the blink of an eye,
[20:42] Four
    and he really did find other people
    with Motarian marks, like me.

[21:05] Four
    I appreciate Ed's help, but I can't
    rely on him for everything.
[21:11] Four
    I'll need to do what I can on my own, too.
[21:16] Four
