**[00:01] (Flashback) Gi**
Open the door!
**[00:04] (Flashback) Gi**
What happened at school?
**[00:06] (Flashback) Gi**
Tell me!
**[00:15] (Flashback) Gi**
Maxine...
**[00:17] (Flashback) Gi**
Open the door! Maxine!
***SIGN*** #08 Dancing! Academy Investigation!
**[01:53] ---**
Please move back.
**[01:54] Gu**
During the scuffle, the victim
scratched at their attacker.
**[01:57] Gu**
We found a small amount of what appears
to be skin under their fingernails.
**[02:00] Gu**
Where's the victim?
**[02:02] Gi**
They just attacked without warning...
**[02:05] Gi**
I...
**[02:06] Gi**
I...
**[02:07] Gu**
Calm down.
**[02:08] Gu**
You don't need to force yourself to talk.
**[02:10] Gi**
Why did this happen?
**[02:12] Gi**
It's almost time for prom...
**[02:14] Gu**
Hey, these wounds...
**[02:15] Gi**
Yeah.
**[02:16] Gi**
Um, this appears to be
something the victim bought.
**[02:21] Gu**
What is it?
**[02:23] Gi**
A party dress.
**[02:25] Gi**
* A series of random attacks have been*
* occurring since the start of this month.*
**[02:29] Gi**
* The four victims were all female students*
* at the exclusive Primus Academy,*
**[02:33] Gi**
Poor girl...
**[02:33] Gi**
* and the police are increasing*
* their patrols in the area.*
**[02:35] Gi**
Her face is all swelled up.
**[02:37] Gi**
Is the medical treatment not going well?
**[02:39] Gu**
Yeah. They can't ID the poison that was used.
**[02:42] Gu**
They were all candidates for prom queen?
**[02:44] Gu**
Yeah.
**[02:45] Gu**
That must be very painful.
**[02:47] Gu**
Painful?
**[02:49] Gi**
It's a hard thing for a teenage girl.
**[02:53] Gu**
I don't really get that stuff...
**[02:55] Gi**
Um, the best place to start is with the
historical background of dance parties...
**[02:59] Gi**
* Let's skip the explanation*
* while I break it down for you.*
**[03:02] Gi**
* The "prom" is the biggest and last*
* event of a high schooler's life.*
**[03:07] Gi**
*Teenagers live for this moment!*
**[03:11] Gi**
*And being chosen as prom queen...*
**[03:14] Gi**
Means you're the star of the party!
**[03:17] Gi**
Well, it was just a hassle
when they chose me.
**[03:21] Gu**
They chose you?
**[03:22] Gi**
You asking for an ass-kicking?
**[03:24] Gi**
I was Genius Queen, by the way.
**[03:26] Gu**
Is that impressive, by the way?
**[03:29] Gi**
**[03:30] Gi**
What about you, Yuri?
**[03:31] Gi**
I'm a rob—
**[03:32] Gi**
Everybody do the robot!
**[03:36] Gu**
Watch. Me. Get. Down.
With. My. Robot. Moves.
**[03:45] Gi**
Kirill was really popular in school.
**[03:49] Gi**
Prom's just a stupid waste of time.
**[03:52] Gu**
What? Was it not a good time for you?
**[03:56] Gi**
You don't know?
**[03:59] Gi**
Max became a policewoman after
she couldn't go to prom.
**[04:04] Gu**
What?
**[04:06] Gi**
I've never heard that before.
**[04:10] Gi**
Sorry, Milla. A call just came in.
**[04:12] Gu**
And I was *just* about to treat
you to the Derick Special #2!
**[04:16] Gu**
Lucky us.
**[04:19] Gu**
The skin cells found under the victim's
fingernails tested positive for Anthem.
**[04:24] Gu**
Based on what we've got so far,
**[04:27] Gu**
there's a good chance the perp
goes to her high school.
**[04:30] Gi**
Even minors are using Anthem?
**[04:33] Gu**
We can't investigate the school?
**[04:36] Gi**
The school keeps saying they know there
aren't any criminals in their student body.
**[04:40] Gu**
Then how?
**[04:42] Gi**
Don't worry. I've already worked it out.
**[04:46] Gi**
There will be some conditions, though.
**[04:49] Gi**
The local police were going
to do an anti-drug class.
**[04:52] Gi**
We'll do it instead, as a way
to get inside the school.
**[04:57] Gi**
So no using your Optical Gadgets,
or forensics kits.
**[05:00] Gi**
You can ask questions. That's all.
**[05:03] Gi**
Do everything you can to avoid
bothering the students.
**[05:07] Gi**
And if you do find the attacker,
arrest them off the school grounds.
**[05:11] Gi**
There are only three ways into
the school: the front entrance,
**[05:13] Gi**
the rear entrance,
and the courtyard entrance.
**[05:16] Gi**
Wait!
**[05:17] Gi**
We're basically the school's slaves, then!
**[05:20] Gu**
Yup. A lot of the brass are alumni.
**[05:23] Gi**
But...
**[05:25] Gu**
I always say the best way to a promotion
is doing whatever your boss tells you.
**[05:29] Gi**
That's because you're an asshole!
**[05:32] Gu**
So for this job, I'll be asking
Boxer and Robot for help.
**[05:37] Gu**
Hey, this was my and Doug's case!
**[05:41] Gu**
Calm down. I've got a mission for you, too.
**[05:45] Gu**
You especially, Buzz-Cut!
**[05:47] Gu**
I've got great hopes for you this time.
**[05:50] Gu**
Really?
**[05:56] Gu**
*It's stuffy as hell in here!*
**[05:57] Gi**
"You'll lose weight."
"It will help you study."
**[06:00] Gi**
All these rumors are false.
**[06:03] Gi**
Some of these drugs are so dangerous
that 30% of people who take them die.
**[06:07] Gi**
That's so scary!
**[06:08] Background**
We'll be available in one of the conference
rooms all day to answer questions.
**[06:09] Gu**
Quiet.
**[06:13] Gu**
Protecto will be there, too!
**[06:15] Gi**
We hope you'll stop by.
**[06:17] Gu**
Just say no to prom!
**[06:23] Gu**
Add your name to the anti-prom petition!
**[06:25] Gu**
Put an end to looksism!
**[06:28] Gu**
Make them call off tomorrow's prom!
**[06:31] Gu**
If one-third of the student
body signs the petition,
**[06:34] Gu**
we can have a school assembly to vote on it!
**[06:36] Gu**
What do you think you're doing?
**[06:37] ---**
Hey, calm down.
**[06:39] Gi**
Put an end to looksism!
**[06:45] Gi**
You agree with her?
**[06:48] Gi**
Let's get to work.
**[06:50] Gu**
Um... First, can somebody help me up?
**[06:57] Gu**
Why do Doug and Max get
to go question people?
**[06:59] Gi**
It'll be easier if there's both
a man and a woman to talk to.
**[07:02] Gi**
And you can't exactly walk around like that.
**[07:05] Gu**
I'm not wearing this
thing because I want to.
**[07:07] Gi**
You and I can talk to any students
who are having problems.
**[07:10] Gu**
But...
**[07:12] Gu**
You want to switch?
**[07:13] Gu**
Really?
**[07:14] Gu**
This looks easier.
**[07:17] Gi**
Fine with me.
**[07:20] Gu**
*Something's not right with her...*
**[07:22] Gi**
Um...
**[07:24] Gi**
Do you have a moment?
**[07:26] Gi**
It has to be Hannah who's behind it.
**[07:29] Gi**
You're here to investigate
those attacks, right?
**[07:31] Gi**
The whole school's talking about it.
**[07:36] Gi**
What's your evidence?
**[07:38] Gi**
You saw her!
**[07:40] Gi**
She wants to ruin Elle's
prom, no matter what.
**[07:44] Gu**
Why are you speaking in third person?
**[07:46] Gi**
In the nominations, Elle came in first and
her best friend Camilla was the runner-up.
**[07:51] Gi**
Right?
**[07:52] Gi**
Yes.
**[07:52] Gi**
That's right.
**[07:53] Gi**
We're just working hard
every day to be cuter.
**[07:57] Gi**
And that lazy, ugly bitch has
no right to be jealous.
**[08:00] Gi**
If that's really what the criminal
is after, it's a little obvious.
**[08:03] Gi**
I didn't—
**[08:04] Gi**
Hey, Camilla, say something!
**[08:07] Gi**
The old school building there is
where they're holding the prom.
**[08:12] Gi**
It's a cultural landmark, and it's
only open on the day of the prom.
**[08:17] Gi**
And that day is tomorrow.
**[08:20] Gi**
Everybody was looking forward to it.
**[08:22] Gi**
So you can't let them call it off!
**[08:25] Gu**
Do you have a boyfriend?
**[08:26] Gi**
Um, I'm here to talk about drugs...
**[08:28] Gi**
Do the police even have a right
to call off Elle's prom?
**[08:33] Gu**
Calm down.
**[08:34] Gu**
Kirill and friends don't have
any plans to shut down the prom.
**[08:38] Gu**
You're not taking off that jacket?
**[08:41] Gu**
Doesn't it get in the way
when you're practicing?
**[08:44] Gu**
Elle always gets burnt on days when
the sun's bright like this.
**[08:48] Gu**
Really?
**[08:49] Gu**
You sure you didn't get hurt somewhere?
**[08:50] Gu**
What, do you suspect Elle?
**[08:53] Gu**
You can't—
**[08:54] Gu**
Max!
**[08:55] Gi**
She just treated me like a criminal!
**[08:58] Gi**
You've got a motive, don't you?
**[09:00] Gi**
Knocking the other potential
candidates out of the running.
**[09:03] Gi**
What a meanie! Camilla!
**[09:07] Gi**
What about Laura, the other nominee?
**[09:09] Gi**
She argued with Liza,
one of the other victims, all the time!
**[09:11] Gi**
Criminals also love to suggest other
suspects even when nobody asks them.
**[09:16] Gu**
Max!
**[09:18] Gi**
Don't worry. The prom will happen.
**[09:21] Gi**
Don't worry about a thing, Elle.
**[09:26] Gi**
Boxer, you were told not
to bother the students.
**[09:31] Gi**
Don't ruin my shot at a promotion—
**[09:34] Gu**
What did he say?
**[09:35] Gu**
What you thought he would.
**[09:38] Gu**
Four victims and he still
wants to go on with the prom?
**[09:42] Gu**
It's so stupid.
**[09:44] Gu**
I think it's important to get
serious about the stupid things.
**[09:49] Gu**
Our opinions differ.
**[09:52] Gu**
Let's get back to questioning.
**[09:56] Gu**
Seriously, at least don't cancel the prom.
**[09:58] Gu**
We reserved a limo with the king.
**[10:01] ---**
King?
**[10:02] Gu**
Chris, a candidate for prom king.
**[10:04] Gu**
He's star quarterback and
the smartest kid in school.
**[10:07] Gu**
And he looks like this!
**[10:09] Gu**
Nobody's as perfect as him!
**[10:11] Gu**
The rumor is that one of the nominees for prom
queen who wants to dance with Chris is behind it.
**[10:15] Gu**
It's gotta be Hannah.
**[10:17] Gu**
There's a rumor it's all just a big act so
she can be Queen, the whole "cancel prom" thing.
**[10:22] Gu**
She's just trying to get the nerd vote.
**[10:23] Gi**
I saw Hannah buying a dress.
**[10:26] Gu**
Seriously? That's scary.
**[10:28] Gi**
If they call it off, how about you
and I go on a date instead, miss?
**[10:31] Gu**
Me?
**[10:32] Gu**
This *again*?
**[10:35] Gu**
We didn't learn a thing.
**[10:38] Gi**
That's what I hate about those parties.
**[10:40] Gi**
They start ranking people,
looking down on those around them...
**[10:44] Gu**
What happened when you were a student?
**[10:47] Gi**
None of your business.
**[10:56] Gi**
Chris?
**[10:57] Gi**
How could you—
**[10:58] Gu**
No, it wasn't me!
**[11:01] Gu**
I didn't do it!
**[11:04] Gu**
Hey, wait!
**[11:05] Gu**
Call an ambulance!
**[11:06] Gu**
Okay!
**[11:08] Gi**
Someone just jumped me out of nowhere...
**[11:16] Gi**
Please don't move.
**[11:18] Gi**
It will break.
**[11:29] Gi**
According to Doug's report, you
didn't boo Hannah during the class.
**[11:34] Gi**
Were you looking for your next target?
**[11:36] Gu**
No, I didn't do it!
**[11:39] Gu**
I agree with Hannah, prom is just stupid.
**[11:42] Gu**
So I was going to sign her petition.
**[11:45] Gi**
So, why did you run?
**[11:47] Gu**
Anybody would run if you
treated them like a criminal!
**[11:50] Gi**
Camilla just woke up, and she said
you told her to come see you.
**[11:56] Gu**
When I got there, they'd both collapsed.
**[12:00] Gi**
I see! I see!
**[12:01] Gi**
So, where'd you get the Anthem?
**[12:04] Gu**
What's Anthem?
**[12:07] Gu**
*Drugs?! I don't do drugs!*
**[12:10] Gu**
*I've been set up!*
**[12:12] Gi**
What did the forensics test show?
**[12:14] Gu**
We'll have to wait a little
while for the full report,
**[12:16] Gu**
but there's no sign of an Overdrive
or any signs he used it at all.
**[12:19] Gi**
Then...
**[12:20] Gu**
But he's still a suspect caught in possession
of both Anthem and a deadly weapon.
**[12:23] Gu**
It's possible that this crime and the skin
cells that tested positive for Anthem...
**[12:28] Gu**
Are you saying they're not related?
**[12:29] Gu**
Does he not have a motive right now?
**[12:32] Gu**
We're going to start the
investigation over and find out.
**[12:34] Gu**
Until this interrogation is over,
no more looking around the school.
**[12:38] Gi**
That's not right!
**[12:39] Gi**
The real criminal may still be out there.
**[12:42] Gu**
But right now, there's nothing we can do.
**[12:45] Gu**
Well, once we're through tomorrow's prom,
**[12:48] Gu**
this should be...
**[12:49] Gu**
So we just give the perp what they want?
**[12:52] Gu**
Don't you all look at me like that.
**[12:54] Gu**
It's scary.
**[12:57] Gu**
Want to get some food?
**[12:59] Gu**
At this hour, nothing but
Derick's place will be open.
**[13:01] Gi**
I'll pass, then.
**[13:02] Gu**
I want some veggies that didn't
come out a freezer, too.
**[13:04] Gi**
Want to come to our place, then?
**[13:09] Gu**
Start eating.
**[13:11] Gu**
This makes me feel so much better.
**[13:13] Gi**
Right?
**[13:14] Gi**
Max's cooking is so mild.
**[13:17] Gu**
I'm kind of surprised, though.
**[13:19] Gi**
Surprised?
**[13:19] Gu**
Well, I mean, she looks scary,
**[13:22] Gu**
and she acts scary during her investigations.
**[13:23] Gu**
So I figured she'd be more like Deana.
**[13:25] Gu**
She didn't used to be like that at all.
**[13:31] Gu**
See? Doesn't she look so nice?
**[13:35] Gu**
My grandma has those glasses.
**[13:38] Gi**
It was the same when we became partners.
**[13:41] Gi**
Max offered to let me live here.
**[13:45] Gi**
How good freshly-washed sheets feel...
**[13:48] Gi**
How wonderful morning smells...
**[13:50] Gi**
I learned all that from her.
**[13:52] Gu**
If people knew she was like that,
**[13:55] Gu**
I'm sure she would've gotten
a prom invite, though.
**[13:58] Gi**
That wasn't what I meant before...
**[14:01] Gi**
Let's use our forensics
kits on all the students.
**[14:05] Gi**
We can't let the criminal run free.
**[14:07] Gu**
But, the school won't allow that.
**[14:09] Gi**
We don't need to actually do it.
**[14:19] Gi**
I'm glad you weren't hurt worse.
**[14:24] Gi**
They won't cancel the prom, right?
**[14:27] Gi**
It'll be held today.
**[14:30] Gi**
But, I can't believe it...
**[14:32] Gi**
That Chris did it...
**[14:35] Gi**
We don't know that yet.
**[14:37] Gi**
Don't worry.
**[14:39] Gi**
I'll find the criminal before the party.
**[14:47] Gi**
All the students have to get
tested before the prom today.
**[14:51] Gi**
There were police standing outside
the front and back gate.
**[14:55] Gu**
We're locked in!
**[14:56] Gu**
This is getting fun!
**[14:58] Gi**
It doesn't make sense!
**[14:59] Gi**
They arrested the criminal!
**[15:01] Gi**
It doesn't matter anymore.
**[15:05] Gi**
Come with me.
**[15:07] Gi**
Where are we going?
**[15:08] Gi**
We're leaving.
**[15:09] Gi**
Huh?
**[15:10] Gi**
You're hurting my hand!
**[15:13] Gi**
There's no point in going to
a prom that the cops ruined!
**[15:16] Gi**
This investigation is illegal,
and I won't have it!
**[15:17] Gi**
Elle, tell everybody what to do!
**[15:20] Gi**
Are you listening?
**[15:21] Gi**
We can have the prom another day.
**[15:23] Gi**
Maybe even outside the school!
**[15:26] Gi**
I don't care anymore!
**[15:28] Gi**
About the prom, or being queen!
**[15:31] Gi**
What are you saying—
**[15:33] Gi**
Elle just wanted to dance with Chris.
**[15:36] Gi**
But not if my prince is a criminal.
**[15:40] Gi**
Elle...
**[15:40] Gi**
And would you stop thinking you're so hot just
because Elle let you in with the cool kids?
**[15:48] Gi**
Elle, you're so mean!
**[15:49] Gi**
You're an ugly bitch!
**[15:51] Gi**
You try so hard to be cute and
you can't do any better than that?
**[15:56] Gi**
I know that!
**[16:01] Gi**
But...
**[16:03] Gi**
I was so honored when you talked to me...
**[16:09] Gi**
So I wanted to be as pretty as I could...
**[16:12] Gi**
Somebody you could be proud to be around...
**[16:17] Gi**
Beauty!
**[16:20] Gi**
I was so happy that you got to be queen
and I got the second most votes...
**[16:27] Gi**
It was my dream...
**[16:30] Gi**
Were you the one who hurt the others?
**[16:32] Gi**
Can you believe Chris?
**[16:35] Gi**
Signing that petition to cancel the prom...
**[16:37] Gi**
If somebody as popular as him signs the
petition, they really might cancel it!
**[16:42] Gi**
So I got rid of both him and Hannah!
**[16:46] Gi**
So, what do you mean you don't care?
**[16:49] Gi**
Are you stupid?
**[16:50] Gi**
The police are right here at the school!
**[16:52] Gi**
They'll find you!
**[16:55] Gi**
What else can I do?
**[16:57] Gi**
You have to be queen, and I
have to be right next to you.
**[17:00] Gi**
You did all that for the prom?
**[17:02] Gi**
You're crazy!
**[17:08] Gi**
Stop. This is the police.
**[17:11] Gu**
It turned out just like Max said.
**[17:13] Gu**
Once we spread a rumor we'd
be testing for drugs,
**[17:15] Gu**
the criminal would try to
leave via the courtyard exit.
**[17:19] Gu**
Great job, Max.
**[17:21] Gi**
We're gonna get hell for doing it, though.
**[17:24] Gi**
You suspected me the whole time? Why?
**[17:27] Gi**
No other student was as
obsessed with prom as you were.
**[17:33] Gi**
I kept hoping it wasn't you.
**[17:36] Gi**
If you really think so, then
couldn't you have let me go?
**[17:40] Gi**
Arrest her, now!
**[17:44] Gi**
This was supposed to be the
greatest day of my life.
**[17:47] Gi**
No!
**[17:55] Gi**
The criminal has used Anthem.
**[17:57] Gi**
It's an overdose!
**[17:59] Gu**
Huh? An Overdrive?
**[18:00] Gu**
No, an overdose.
**[18:02] Gu**
She took too much!
**[18:30] Gu**
You let her go alone?
**[18:31] Gi**
I thought maybe Max could save her.

*Let the hostage go, now!*
**[18:44] Gi**
Once upon a time, there was a girl who
wanted to go to prom more than anything.
**[18:49] Gi**
She was an ordinary girl, a little
shy, who loved cute things.
**[18:55] Gi**
There was a boy who was her best friend.
**[18:59] Gi**
His name was Connor.
**[19:00] Gi**
The two seemed like total opposites,
but strangely they got along well.
**[19:06] Gi**
Save me! I don't want to die!
**[19:09] Gi**
I said stop!
**[19:11] Gi**
The girl was sure he'd invite her to prom.
**[19:17] Gi**
But before the prom, he said
something she never imagined.
**[19:24] Gi**
It was his secret.
**[19:31] Gi**
The girl accepted everything.
**[19:35] Gi**
But the others rejected them.
**[19:39] Gi**
They weren't even allowed in the ballroom.
**[19:42] Gi**
After that, Connor turned
to drugs and left town,
**[19:45] Gi**
never coming back.
**[19:48] Gi**
And the girl...
**[19:50] Gi**
Camilla, stop!
**[19:55] Gi**
Don't ruin your life over a stupid party!
**[19:59] Gi**
You didn't want to be the runner-up...
You wanted to be Elle's friend, right?
**[20:19] Gi**
You can't become Connor.
**[20:25] Gi**
I wish you could've been a friend to
her like that girl was to Connor.
**[20:39] Gu**
With the poison identified,
the victims are recovering quickly.
**[20:45] Gi**
I see.
**[20:46] Gu**
We'll be looking into where these
minors got the Anthem, too.
**[20:50] Gi**
And the prom?
**[20:52] Gu**
They'll hold it once the victims recover.
**[20:56] Gu**
It'll be just a normal dance,
with no king or queen.
**[21:00] Gi**
I see.
**[21:02] Gu**
Wonderfully done.
**[21:04] Gu**
Just what I want to see
from Travis's Angels...
**[21:05] Gi**
I'll be going.
**[21:06] Gu**
Wait.
**[21:07] Gi**
What?
**[21:08] Gu**
How've things been going with, you know...
**[21:13] Gu**
Trouble!
**[21:14] Gu**
Max, come quick!
**[21:19] Gu**
Surprise!
**[21:25] Gu**
Come on, have some cake!
**[21:27] Gu**
I knew the motorcycle was a bad idea.
**[21:30] Gi**
Kirill set the whole thing.
**[21:32] Gu**
He said he was going to
bring everything you like.
**[21:36] Gu**
Yeah, I think it's really cool.
**[21:39] Gu**
Really?
**[21:40] Gu**
Derick, let's dance.
**[21:42] Gu**
Nah!
**[21:45] Gu**
Me, too.
**[21:58] Gu**
Can I ask you something?
**[22:00] Gu**
What?
**[22:01] Gu**
Why do you keep that hairstyle?
**[22:03] Gu**
You changed it for Connor, right?
**[22:05] Gu**
It's the one that suits me best.
**[22:10] Gu**
I see.
**[22:14] Gu**
See? Prom's not so bad.
**[22:18] Gi**
Yeah.
**[22:20] Gi**
*Now I have something else I like.*
**[23:56] Gu**
* In ancient Lisvalletta, the wheels the young*
* boys wear on their feet slice through the air,*
**[23:59] Gu**
* and the wings on their*
* backs pierce the heavens!*
**[24:01] Gu**
*And since that sounds really cool, don't
miss the ninth episode of* Double Decker:
**[24:04] Gu**
*"Don't Think, Feel So Good!"*
***SIGN*** Don't Think, Feel So Good!
**[24:06] Gu**
*Have you ever picked a cosmos flower?*
