[01:59] T
    A few days ago, the Führer
    was almost assassinated.
[02:03] R
    And someone prophesied that it would happen.
[02:06] R
    That someone was you.
[02:08] R
    Look at me.
[02:10] R
    You are under suspicion of treason.
[02:16] R
    I am—
[02:17] M
    Reinhard Heydrich, director of the
    Reichssicherheitshauptamt.
[02:22] M
    An honor to meet you.
[02:24] M
    My name is Karl Krafft.
[02:27] M
    Some call me a mage.
[02:34] M
    Did you, perhaps, have some
    kind of strange dream?
[02:40] M
    In other words, you seek my aid
    in your propaganda efforts?
[02:45] R
    Indeed.
[02:46] R
    That is my condition for saving your life.
[02:49] R
    Essentially, we require a Nostradamus,
[02:52] R
    someone to restore morale
    after our great defeat.
[02:59] M
    I see.
[03:00] M
    I accept.
[03:03] M
    If you wish me to be Nostradamus,
    then I gladly accept.
[03:07] M
    I promise that I will lead you to your fate.

[04:24] Gi
    That looks fun...
[04:27] Gi
    Let me join in.
[04:29] Gu
    You stupid brat!
[04:46] Gu
    As long as you're around,
    the country's future is assured!
[04:51] Gu
    Truly...
[04:53] Gu
    You're exactly what the Führer means
    when he talks about "the perfect race."
[04:58] Gu
    To our hero, the Golden Lord!
[05:02] Gu
    Cheers!
[05:03] R
    I'm honored, but you give me too much credit.
[05:06] R
    I have simply executed my orders.
[05:10] R
    Reinhard Heydrich is no more
    of a man than that.
[05:16] Gu
    Such humility!
[05:18] Gu
    Everyone knows the Reich's fate
    rests on your shoulders!
[05:25] Gu
    Thanks to the lieutenant general's efforts,
    we have nothing to worry about.
[05:34] Gu
    Sir...
[05:40] R
    I have a matter I must attend to.
[05:42] R
    Excuse me.
[05:46] M
    Now, then... What's wrong?
[05:49] M
    Those dignitaries seemed quite taken aback.
[05:53] R
    Nothing. Work.
[05:57] M
    But is it something you must
    personally attend to?
[06:01] R
    It was simply an excuse to leave.
[06:04] R
    Of course, I am going to do it, anyway.
[06:08] R
    I have...
[06:09] M
    "Nothing else to do"?
[06:12] M
    Your self-effacing nature never changes.
[06:16] M
    But...
[06:17] E
    P-Pardon...
[06:22] E
    I am sorry to interrupt you.
[06:24] E
    I am Obersturmführer Eleonore von Wittenburg of the Schutzstaffel.
[06:29] E
    S-Sturmscharführer Beatrice Kircheisen.
[06:33] E
    My name is Riza Brenner.
    I work with the Lebensborn.
[06:36] E
    A pleasure to meet you.
[06:37] M
    Oh, I've heard your names.
[06:40] M
    I belong to the RMVP, after all.
[06:43] M
    What do the Three Valkyries want with us?
[06:49] E
    I'm afraid it concerns your earlier decision.
[06:52] E
    We would like to accompany General Heydrich.
[06:56] H
    That is not a part of your duties...
[06:59] E
    True, but we are servants
    of the Reich, as well.
[07:03] E
    We cannot simply ignore this.
[07:05] E
    Thus, we would like the honor
    of being your swords.
[07:10] E
    Please.
[07:18] R
    Do as you like.
[07:19] R
    But be prepared for punishment later.
[07:23] R
    And you are responsible for your own safety.
[07:26] E
    Thank you, sir!
[07:36] B
    Aren't you happy, Obersturmführer?
[07:39] E
    What's with that grin on your face?!
[07:41] B
    Hey— Wh-Why are you hitting me?
[07:44] R
    Now, now... Calm down, you two.
[07:47] M
    Was that the appropriate course?
[07:49] R
    It doesn't matter.
[07:50] R
    This falls outside your duties, also.
[07:54] R
    You will come, too, Karl Krafft?
[07:56] M
    Of course.
[07:57] M
    I promised I would lead you to your fate...
[08:01] M
    And it begins soon.
[08:04] R
    A promise?
[08:06] M
    No, simply something I know for a fact.
[08:14] L
    Thank you again, Father.
[08:18] L
    For giving me something so important.
[08:22] T
    Don't worry about it.
[08:24] T
    I would do anything to assist the Ahnenerbe.
[08:28] T
    And while it may be a relic,
[08:31] T
    it's an ill-omened one...
[08:33] T
    If you are willing to take it off my hands,
     I am glad to be rid of it.
[08:38] R
    Really?
[08:39] R
    Then you should look a little happier.
[08:42] R
    Or does something bother you?
[08:45] T
    No... I...
[08:48] R
    Well, in another time, this would
    have seen you tried for heresy.
[08:54] R
    I can understand your concern.
[08:57] R
    So I remembered...
[08:59] R
    Several years ago,
[09:01] R
    someone told me about a priest who
    could read men's hearts and minds.
[09:06] R
    That would certainly be heretical, as well.
[09:09] R
    In a different era, he might have
    been burned at the stake.
[09:13] R
    Thought of that way,
    doesn't he seem lucky?
[09:18] T
    I couldn't say.
[09:19] T
    Perhaps he would have been happier.
[09:21] T
    Not seeing things he didn't want to see...
[09:27] T
    After all, in this era...
[09:32] T
    Oh, no...
[09:34] T
    I can't stay here.
[09:35] T
    I have to get away—
[10:07] B
    What is this?
[10:09] E
    It looks like a battlefield.
[10:11] E
    It appears it wasn't just some small-fry.
[10:14] E
    We were right to come.
[10:16] E
    Brenner, you accompany General Heydrich.
[10:20] E
    He's important to the nation's future.
[10:23] E
    He cannot be put in danger.
[10:25] R
    Understood.
[10:27] R
    And what will you do?
[10:30] E
    Kill the attackers, of course.
[10:32] E
    Let's go, Kircheisen!
[10:34] R
    Right!
[11:07] W
    Who the hell are you?
[11:09] W
    Where did you come from?
[11:11] E
    Accept your punishment, villain!
[11:14] E
    If you resist, I'll cut off your limbs!
[11:22] W
    Listen to you...
[11:23] W
    This'll be fun.
[11:25] W
    You're brave, girlie.
[11:27] W
    But you think you can fight me,
    with that frail body?!
[11:33] W
    I'll scatter you like garbage!
[11:37] B
    What scum...
[11:38] B
    You're beyond salvation!
[11:50] E
    Hey... What are you?
[11:54] E
    A man? A woman?
[11:56] E
    Or neither?
[11:58] E
    Disgusting!
[12:01] E
    Neither you nor the society that
    created you can be allowed to exist.
[12:06] E
    A single wartime loss created
    so much scum like you.
[12:11] E
    Removing them and returning glory
    to the Fatherland is my destiny.
[12:16] E
    Now come, maggot.
[12:18] E
    I will fumigate you.
[12:24] Gu
    Try it!
[12:30] R
    Oh, dear.
[12:31] R
    Looks like we're caught up in some trouble.
[12:35] R
    Are you all right, Father?
[12:37] T
    Yes, but you...
[12:40] T
    You should hurry and run now.
[12:42] R
    Well, yes, probably.
[12:45] R
    But you see, my bestial instincts are aching.
[12:47] R
    I think I might watch for a bit!
[12:50] T
    No... It'll be too late.
[12:53] T
    If you stay here, everything is
    doomed. Any minute now...
[12:56] R
    Are you really all right?
[12:59] R
    What happened?
[13:02] ---
    What?
[13:03] ---
    Oh?
[13:04] R
    General, please wait.
[13:07] R
    It's dangerous, General!
[13:08] M
    Oh, dear... Such trouble.
[13:12] M
    I can't control my trembling...
[13:14] M
    This nation has no lack
    of entertaining sorts.
[13:19] M
    Don't you agree, General Heydrich?
[13:22] R
    You sound like you think I'm the
    most entertaining of them all.
[13:26] R
    Don't get the wrong idea, mage.
[13:29] R
    I am not that impressive of a person.
[13:32] R
    I know only how to do the job before me.
[13:36] R
    And that's all I can do.
[13:38] R
    So, at some point, I ended up
    with my current position.
[13:42] R
    When it comes down to it,
[13:44] R
    I'm no different than the incompetents.
[13:46] M
    And you wish not to profit,
[13:48] M
    to leave the stage as one of the multitudes?
[13:52] R
    Indeed.
[13:53] R
    I'm happy being just another soldier,
    doing his job and dying.
[13:58] R
    Someday, I will die.
[13:59] R
    And that is fine with me.
[14:01] R
    Even if I lack passion,
[14:03] R
    I'm doing the things that I can do.
[14:07] R
    That is the only meaning I need in life.
[14:11] M
    I see...
[14:12] M
    But then, I'll ask you one question.
[14:17] M
    When was it that you were truly serious?
[14:21] ---
    What?
[14:22] R
    From my perspective, you're directing
    your efforts in the wrong way...
[14:27] R
    You spend your life trying to
    avoid using your full power.
[14:33] R
    Did the lion use its claws and
    fangs to break an egg?
[14:38] R
    Did the hawk use its wings to race
    the bug, crawling on the ground?
[14:43] R
    No, not at all.
[14:45] R
    You have never used your full strength.
[14:48] R
    If you did not control yourself,
     the world would not last an instant.
[14:52] R
    Nonsense.
[14:53] R
    How far do these ridiculous
    fantasies of yours spread?
[14:57] R
    "Destroy the world"? Of all things...
[15:00] M
    Is it wrong?
[15:03] M
    You act, and everything
    around you is destroyed.
[15:06] M
    How sad... You can't move your
    body the slightest inch.
[15:10] M
    But despite that, you have arrived
    at your present position.
[15:13] M
    Then, how much must you
    control yourself in the future?
[15:17] M
    You have done what you could,
    but the war continues to expand.
[15:23] M
    How cruel... How sad.
[15:26] M
    Thus, you close your heart,
    so you'll feel nothing at all!
[15:33] M
    I remember discussing this
    with you here, in this place.
[15:38] M
    I've met you in this way many times.
[15:43] M
    Remember.
[15:46] M
    You love the whole world.
[15:53] M
    And...
[15:55] M
    To love and destroy
[15:59] M
    do not necessarily contradict one another.
[16:03] M
    Love it, then...
[16:06] M
    For that is what you are,
[16:08] M
    Reinhard Heydrich, lord of destruction.
[16:12] R
    How stupid.
[16:23] R
    The one thing I can do is
    the destruction of love?
[16:27] R
    That's...
[16:29] M
    Impossible?
[16:30] M
    No, you will destroy.
[16:33] M
    Because I know that you will.
[16:40] E
    S-Sir!
[16:42] R
    Move.
[16:45] R
    I decided that I felt nothing,
[16:47] R
    that nothing in the world
    inspired emotion within me.
[16:50] ---
    This is who I am. Reinhard Heydrich
    is only a boring man.
[16:56] ---
    In other words,
[16:57] ---
    the world, as it currently exists, is my limit.
[17:04] W
    Wh-Who are you?
[17:07] R
    No matter what I do, I will feel
    no sense of accomplishment.
[17:13] R
    I will live this way and then die.
[17:20] R
    I thought that was all right,
[17:22] R
    that it was what I should do...
[17:24] R
    But was it really?
[17:48] R
    What do I believe? What do I wish?
[17:51] R
    What do I desire?
[17:53] R
    I don't know. I can't see.
[17:55] Gu
    Get back, sir!
[17:57] Gu
    It's dangerous!
[17:59] R
    But didn't I know?
[18:15] R
    The emotions that everyone else felt
    in youth, toward the impossible...
[18:24] R
    That which I wished for and sought...
[18:29] R
    From the bottom of my heart.
[18:34] R
    Wasn't it that dream?
[18:37] M
    Now, then. How do you feel?
[18:41] R
    The strange emotion,
[18:43] R
    burning madly in my heart,
    ever since I met this man.
[18:46] R
    Its true identity...
[18:48] R
    The answer to this inexplicable
    thing in my heart,
[18:51] R
    beyond my understanding, is a thought
    I've had again and again.
[18:58] R
    Yes, then...
[19:04] R
    I...
[19:06] R
    I have discussed this with
    you before, haven't I?
[19:10] M
    Indeed, indeed...
[19:12] M
    We meet again, my friend.
[21:15] R
    May we have victory.
[21:33] R
    I love everything.
[21:36] M
    I know everything.
[21:39] M
    And thus, my friend...
[21:42] M
    I shall prepare a place for you
    to use your full power.
[21:48] M
    And that time is...
[21:50] M
    When we will destroy this
    sense of déjà vu, Dies Irae.
[21:54] M
    My friend, let us celebrate the
    creation of a new world.
