[00:29] ---
    I hear the Gray Wolf has been venturing
    out into the field frequently of late.
[00:36] ---
    I... I accept the blame, Father.
[00:39] ---
    I've been trying to protect the honor
    of the Blois marquisate...
[00:43] ---
    "Ye are the salt of the earth..."
[00:46] ---
    "But if the salt have lost his savour,
    wherewith shall it be salted?"
[00:53] ---
    Do not take your eyes off your sister.
[00:55] ---
    That is the only thing I ask of you.
[01:00] ---
    So I'm just a paper tiger
    who's acquired a little fame.
[01:10] ---
    Jacqueline...
[01:29] ---
    It seemed like it had been decided long before
[01:35] ---
    It seemed like we knew long ago
[01:41] ---
    As if we followed an invisible line
[01:47] ---
    We were led to each other,
    to an intersecting saison
[01:53] ---
    Like how light and dark
    are two sides of the same coin
[01:58] ---
    I was captivated by mystification
[02:04] ---
    When I turned around toward the voice
    that whispered in my ear
[02:10] ---
    The door had opened before I realized
[02:15] ---
    Like joining a little chance with inevitability
[02:21] ---
    Two histoires were set into motion, ah
[02:33] ---
    Continuing on forever
[02:55] ---
    Delicious!
[02:56] ---
    Isn't it?
[02:59] ---
    By the way, sir, is there a place
    we could catch a carriage--?
[03:02] ---
    Hey! I wanna get on!
[03:08] ---
    Wait, Madame!
[03:17] ---
    I'm dreadfully sorry!
[03:25] ---
    Episode 11
    His Drill Speaks Eloquently of Love
[03:29] ---
    What? A visitor to the library?
[03:32] ---
    That's right.
[03:34] ---
    She's just donating books
    from her personal collection,
[03:37] ---
    but she insisted on having
    a look around inside.
[03:43] ---
    Sorry for the wait,
    Madame Superintendent General Signore.
[03:46] ---
    I've brought him.
[03:49] ---
    Miss Jacqueline?
[03:51] ---
    Oh, it's you!
[03:55] ---
    I see! So you're a student here, are you?
[03:58] ---
    Merci beaucoup!
[03:59] ---
    H-Hey!
[04:04] ---
    Mr. Kujo, do you know her?
[04:07] ---
    Y-Yeah, sort of.
[04:10] ---
    Jacqueline?
[04:12] ---
    I see. So you met in Saubrème...
[04:15] ---
    Yeah.
[04:15] ---
    What's her relationship with Inspector Blois?
[04:19] ---
    They've been friends since childhood.
    He's been in love with her just as long.
[04:23] ---
    L-Love?
[04:25] ---
    Naturally, she doesn't seem
    to return his feelings at all.
[04:29] ---
    Incidentally, she's the cause
    of his hairstyle, as well.
[04:35] ---
    That's right. He said it was because of
    a case he asked you to solve for him.
[04:41] ---
    Jacqueline was involved in that case.
[04:47] ---
    So she's the girl that Inspector Blois...
[04:50] ---
    Hey, hey!
[04:51] ---
    It looks like a snake!
[04:53] ---
    That's so fun!
[04:55] ---
    How fun!
[04:56] ---
    Sh-She's weird...
[04:59] ---
    Hey, is Grévil doing well?
[05:03] ---
    I was planning on dropping in
    and surprising him.
[05:07] ---
    Oh, really?
[05:09] ---
    I don't like that guy. He's really stuck up.
[05:13] ---
    And he's so... prickly.
[05:15] ---
    Oh, but he wasn't always that way!
[05:18] ---
    I keep asking him why he's doing
    his hair like that, but he won't tell me.
[05:24] ---
    Still, Grévil is a great inspector now.
[05:28] ---
    I'm proud of him.
[05:30] ---
    I see...
[05:31] ---
    Isn't this garden nice?
[05:31] ---
    She doesn't know what really happened.
[05:33] ---
    Yes.
[05:34] ---
    Let's plant some flowers back at the estate.
[05:36] ---
    I can't let her know that the real
    great detective is up there.
[05:48] ---
    Could that be Kujo?
[05:51] ---
    Really, that man does nothing
    but disturb my tranquility.
[05:55] ---
    Oh, it's lovely!
[05:57] ---
    Yahoo!
[06:03] ---
    Excuse me, Madame.
[06:04] ---
    We must hurry, or we'll lose our chance
    to stop by the police station.
[06:08] ---
    Oh, I wouldn't want that.
[06:10] ---
    But this place is so famous,
    and we come here so rarely.
[06:14] ---
    This library is famous?
[06:16] ---
    Yes, it is.
[06:18] ---
    In particular... the place that,
    at the dawn of the 17th century,
[06:21] ---
    was built by the reigning king
    when the school was founded
[06:24] ---
    in order to meet with his secret lover.
[06:28] ---
    The conservatory on the top floor!
[06:32] ---
    Oh, really!
[06:34] ---
    I just can't help myself!
[06:35] ---
    Just a peek!
[06:36] ---
    M-Madame!
[06:38] ---
    Oh no! If you go up there...
[06:44] ---
    What?
[06:45] ---
    These women...
    like noisy, starving ostriches...
[06:49] ---
    This staircase is like a big maze!
[06:52] ---
    It's so fun!
[06:58] ---
    M-Madame! Wait!
[07:01] ---
    Dammit!
[07:03] ---
    Freaking wait already!
[07:03] ---
    Y-Yeah!
[07:05] ---
    Um...
[07:06] ---
    Madame! Please, do wait!
[07:09] ---
    You can't!
[07:09] ---
    Stop!
[07:12] ---
    Kujo!
[07:13] ---
    If you go up there,
    you'll run into a golden ghost!
[07:16] ---
    A ghost?
[07:18] ---
    Yes!
[07:18] ---
    If it finds you, it'll grind you up like a macaron!
[07:21] ---
    Stupid Kujo. So rude!
[07:22] ---
    So please, go down!
[07:23] ---
    Interesting. If he wants a scare,
    I'll give him one!
[07:28] ---
    A ghost! A ghost!
[07:29] ---
    Hooray!
[07:32] ---
    Wait!
[07:33] ---
    I-I'm not afraid.
[07:35] ---
    That idiot Kujo is there with them...
[07:39] ---
    We're here! Is this the place?
[07:41] ---
    Where's the ghost?
[07:43] ---
    Oh?
[07:44] ---
    My, it's a life-size bisque doll!
[07:47] ---
    What an adorable doll!
[07:52] ---
    Amazing!
[07:53] ---
    It's like she's really alive!
[07:57] ---
    She's warm?
[07:58] ---
    Of course I am.
[07:59] ---
    Sorry to disappoint you, but I am alive.
[08:04] ---
    That hurt!
[08:07] ---
    I'm so sorry!
[08:08] ---
    Are you a student at this school?
[08:13] ---
    Would you like a
    strawberry sucker, little dear?
[08:16] ---
    But of course.
[08:22] ---
    I am Jacqueline de Signore.
[08:25] ---
    And you?
[08:26] ---
    Oh, then you're...
[08:29] ---
    Do you know me?
[08:31] ---
    She's actually Inspector Blo--
[08:40] ---
    By the way, what brings you
    all the way up here?
[08:45] ---
    Well, you see.
[08:47] ---
    We wanted to donate these books.
[08:51] ---
    But, um...
[08:52] ---
    There are no books in there.
[08:57] ---
    Beauty lotion? Skin cream?
[09:00] ---
    Where did I...?
[09:02] ---
    Did they get switched somewhere?
[09:07] ---
    But I need it!
[09:09] ---
    I'm begging you.
[09:09] ---
    What's all this?
[09:11] ---
    Sir.
[09:11] ---
    He's looking for his bag of wares to peddle.
[09:15] ---
    It seems he bumped into a maid in the plaza,
    and they must have switched bags then.
[09:22] ---
    That crest is...
[09:26] ---
    Yes, Jacqueline would be dropping by there.
[09:31] ---
    That's strange.
[09:32] ---
    So she hasn't come to see you, yet?
[09:35] ---
    Wh-Why not?
[09:36] ---
    She was donating books to the library
    at Saint Marguerite Academy.
[09:40] ---
    It seems she found them in the attic
    while packing for vacation.
[09:51] ---
    This is ridiculous!
[09:54] ---
    I'm terribly sorry, Madame.
[09:57] ---
    Not at all. Don't worry.
[10:00] ---
    But isn't that ceiling mural beautiful?
[10:10] ---
    Victorique... are you angry?
[10:12] ---
    No.
[10:17] ---
    Q...
[10:20] ---
    It's the name of a chipmunk
    I used to keep as a pet.
[10:24] ---
    She had a mark on her back
    like the letter "Q."
[10:29] ---
    You reminded me of her just now.
[10:32] ---
    Such an uncreative naming scheme...
[10:36] ---
    How very rude.
[10:38] ---
    Hey, that story...
[10:41] ---
    It was many years ago.
[10:44] ---
    Around the time my husband
    first proposed to me.
[10:47] ---
    Q died of illness,
[10:50] ---
    and I became the suspect
    in a murder investigation.
[10:53] ---
    Is that...?
[10:55] ---
    Um, who was the victim in that--?
[10:58] ---
    Oh...
[11:00] ---
    It was the veterinarian who looked after Q.
[11:03] ---
    He was shot through
    the chest in his own house.
[11:07] ---
    With his last breath, the doctor wrote
    on the floor the letter "Q."
[11:15] ---
    Almost like a dying message.
[11:18] ---
    Q? You mean like...?
[11:20] ---
    Yes, just like my late pet.
[11:22] ---
    And that's not all.
[11:25] ---
    During his funeral,
[11:26] ---
    the doctor's wife Paula found
    mysterious writing on her arm.
[11:33] ---
    People started spreading rumors that
    it was a message from her late husband.
[11:37] ---
    The backwards message said...
[11:40] ---
    ... "Jacqueline killed me."
[11:44] ---
    It's true that since ancient times,
    backwards messages
[11:48] ---
    have been used in cursing rituals.
[11:51] ---
    In other words, those present interpreted it
    as a testimony of the deceased.
[11:56] ---
    You know a lot, little dear.
[11:58] ---
    Of course I do.
[11:59] ---
    It's what my wellspring of wisdom told me.
[12:03] ---
    There's no question.
[12:04] ---
    This is the case that Inspector Blois
    asked her to solve so long ago.
[12:18] ---
    Grévil, why so sullen?
[12:24] ---
    Come on, laugh!
[12:26] ---
    Come on, come on!
[12:30] ---
    Jacqueline, you seem rather down.
[12:33] ---
    When you're feeling down,
    you always act like a clown.
[12:36] ---
    You go out with bed hair,
    but act completely hyper.
[12:41] ---
    Even now, see?
[12:43] ---
    All that impulse shopping...
[12:45] ---
    Th-This is... Well...
[12:47] ---
    I heard about what's going on.
[12:50] ---
    It's difficult to forgive.
[12:51] ---
    Those irresponsible rumors
    people are spreading...
[12:53] ---
    What can I do?
[12:55] ---
    The words of the curse did appear, after all.
[13:00] ---
    I'm thinking of refusing Signore's proposal.
[13:05] ---
    We do have fun, and we get along.
[13:09] ---
    I know he looks a bit like a fish,
    but he's cute, when you really look at him.
[13:13] ---
    But he's still with the police.
[13:16] ---
    I don't want to make trouble for him.
[13:21] ---
    Jacqueline...
[13:32] ---
    Damned Gray Wolf!
[13:35] ---
    If she tells her anything she shouldn't,
[13:37] ---
    then no matter what my father says,
    I will not forgive her!
[13:43] ---
    Ever since the incident at the graveyard,
    people started treating me like a criminal.
[13:47] ---
    "She must have killed the doctor
    to avenge her pet."
[13:52] ---
    But then, mysteriously, right after that...
[13:54] ---
    For some reason,
    the real culprit came forward,
[13:56] ---
    and the suspicions surrounding
    Madame were cleared.
[13:59] ---
    She married her husband,
    and became Madame Signore.
[14:04] ---
    Speaking of which,
[14:05] ---
    that's around the same time Grévil
    started wearing his hair like that.
[14:10] ---
    M-Mere coincidence.
[14:12] ---
    Um, Miss Jacqueline,
[14:14] ---
    who was the true culprit, in the end?
[14:18] ---
    Well, it was...
[14:20] ---
    Madame, we really must be going.
[14:23] ---
    Oh, I'm sorry.
    We really must go to see Grévil.
[14:27] ---
    We'll talk another time.
[14:31] ---
    I had great fun, you two.
[14:35] ---
    Madame! Wait up!
[14:41] ---
    Sh-She's quite the fireball, isn't she?
[14:48] ---
    So, hey, Victorique...
[14:49] ---
    The true culprit...
[14:51] ---
    It was child's play, unworthy
    of even being called chaos.
[15:00] ---
    Let me explain.
[15:02] ---
    The one who killed the veterinarian...
[15:05] ---
    ...was clearly his wife.
[15:10] ---
    Hey! I see something over there!
[15:12] ---
    Madame! Really!
[15:21] ---
    Allow me to explain it.
[15:23] ---
    First, the words of the curse at the grave.
[15:30] ---
    It was the veterinarian's wife,
    Paula herself, who wrote them.
[15:35] ---
    She was left-handed.
[15:38] ---
    Some left-handed people are capable
    of fluently writing backwards.
[15:45] ---
    She used that special skill of hers
    to write the backwards words of the curse.
[15:51] ---
    She wanted to pin her crime on Jacqueline.
[15:55] ---
    And the reason Paula thought to do that
[15:59] ---
    was because of that
    dying message left at the scene.
[16:04] ---
    The police thought
    that letter was...
[16:08] ---
    ...a "Q."
[16:10] ---
    Don't look so sullen about it.
[16:13] ---
    I think it's a cute name.
[16:15] ---
    Shut up.
[16:16] ---
    Anyway, the idiots in the police were
    convinced that Q referred to her pet.
[16:24] ---
    Um... Victorique?
[16:27] ---
    But the veterinarian who was shot
    would have been writing from this position.
[16:34] ---
    And if you tried to write a letter
    from that position,
[16:38] ---
    you would naturally get the letter backwards.
[16:42] ---
    In other words, he was trying to write
    the initial P, for his wife, Paula.
[16:50] ---
    In other words, more backwards writing.
[16:53] ---
    I reorganized these facts.
[16:56] ---
    Grévil called Paula anonymously,
    and presented them to her.
[16:59] ---
    He said, "If you don't turn yourself in,
    I'm telling the police."
[17:03] ---
    In the end, she relented.
[17:06] ---
    And turned herself in, right?
[17:08] ---
    Yes.
[17:09] ---
    Incidentally, Grévil was adamant
    that she keep quiet about him,
[17:14] ---
    so nothing about that was ever made public.
[17:16] ---
    I see.
[17:18] ---
    The inspector helped to
    solve the case anonymously,
[17:21] ---
    to make sure Jacqueline stayed happy!
[17:22] ---
    I'm the one who figured it out.
[17:24] ---
    Wipe that schoolgirl grin off your face.
[17:29] ---
    But isn't making him wear his hair
    like that a little harsh, as payment goes?
[17:36] ---
    It was an appropriate request.
[17:42] ---
    Wh-Where's Jacqueline?
[17:48] ---
    I guess she's already gone.
[17:59] ---
    So that's where you were, Superintendent.
[18:01] ---
    The conference is about to start.
[18:05] ---
    That's the file from the case your wife was
    involved in before she married you, isn't it?
[18:09] ---
    Yes.
[18:10] ---
    I find myself looking at it and
    remembering from time to time.
[18:13] ---
    There's something that
    troubles me about it.
[18:17] ---
    She said that she regretted her crime,
    and turned herself in.
[18:23] ---
    But...
[18:32] ---
    ...I can't help but think that there was
    someone who secretly helped solve the case.
[18:42] ---
    I'm begging you! I'll lose a fortune
    if you don't find it!
[18:45] ---
    My bag...
[18:46] ---
    Now, calm down, please.
[18:49] ---
    The inspector seems to know where it is.
[18:52] ---
    Excuse me.
[18:54] ---
    May I come in?
[18:55] ---
    Y-Yes, ma'am.
[18:56] ---
    Is there a man named Inspector Blois here?
[19:01] ---
    You're that...
[19:01] ---
    You?!
[19:04] ---
    These are the books
    Madame Signore was going to donate.
[19:07] ---
    Please give them to a librarian.
[19:10] ---
    Right... But why did you have them?
[19:13] ---
    What a naive woman.
[19:15] ---
    Virtuous and foolish at the same time.
[19:17] ---
    That breeds all kinds of misfortune.
[19:21] ---
    But that's one of Jacqueline's
    most charming qualities.
[19:28] ---
    Inspector, um...
[19:30] ---
    Little squirrel, please leave.
[19:33] ---
    You have special dispensation
    to use that today.
[19:43] ---
    Okay...
[19:52] ---
    The brain of the Gray Wolf...
[19:55] ---
    It is truly unparalleled.
[19:59] ---
    Unlike my own...
[20:02] ---
    But you, my little sister, have no heart.
[20:07] ---
    Do you remember?
[20:09] ---
    What I said to you that night...?
[20:21] ---
    I figured it out.
[20:23] ---
    But why did you come all the way here
    to ask me to solve it?
[20:28] ---
    Because I want to save Jacqueline!
[20:32] ---
    Because I love her!
[20:34] ---
    Love?
[20:35] ---
    What is that?
[20:37] ---
    I have never heard that word in all my life.
[20:45] ---
    And so, this is the price you asked for.
[20:49] ---
    But this hairstyle was nothing.
[20:54] ---
    "Never love Jacqueline again."
[20:58] ---
    If you really wanted to make me suffer,
    that's the request you should have made.
[21:03] ---
    But for a Gray Wolf like you...
[21:05] ---
    Shut up.
[21:07] ---
    Something so obvious to any human,
    and yet you couldn't even think of it.
[21:10] ---
    Shut up!
[21:31] ---
    You're wrong.
[21:33] ---
    I'm different now...
[21:36] ---
    ...from the way I was then.
[21:39] ---
    I hope those two are okay.
[21:43] ---
    Inspector!
[21:45] ---
    Go on in.
[21:46] ---
    The Gray Wolf is waiting.
[21:53] ---
    Isn't that a shame, Madame?
[21:56] ---
    You didn't get to see that
    prickly inspector of yours.
[21:59] ---
    Hey, Marion.
[22:01] ---
    He's a really wonderful person, you know.
[22:04] ---
    Yeah...
[22:07] ---
    Back in the day, I was tall
    and gangly and tan all over.
[22:12] ---
    Not attractive at all.
[22:16] ---
    I treasured the one or two words
    I exchanged with Grévil.
[22:22] ---
    But that was all I could do.
[22:28] ---
    He always was kind like that.
[22:33] ---
    Once you reach my age,
    you can finally realize that.
[22:36] ---
    It makes me realize that growing up
    isn't always a bad thing.
[22:42] ---
    Even though, back then,
    I wanted to stay a child forever.
[22:47] ---
    I wonder if I'll ever see him again.
[22:51] ---
    "I see you got my books to the school.
[22:55] ---
    Thank you.
[22:56] ---
    Everyone should have a childhood friend."
[23:02] ---
    Loneliness fighting back again
[23:05] ---
    Seems to be like it never ends
[23:10] ---
    Give us hope through the love of
[23:12] ---
    Peaceful shine on me
[23:25] ---
    In the pounding rain that never ceases
[23:29] ---
    I have forgotten how to smile,
    and I suffer as the world passes me by
[23:40] ---
    If in the midst of conflict and deceit
[23:47] ---
    My heart withers
[23:54] ---
    Like a flower floating in turbulent waves
[24:02] ---
    Lead the way and overcome the storm
[24:09] ---
    Like you're stepping firmly on barren earth
[24:16] ---
    Go ahead, you can walk straight forward
[24:34] ---
    Almost summer vacation, huh?
[24:37] ---
    The dazzling sunlight of summer...
[24:39] ---
    The flow of the waves,
    which kick up spray...
[24:43] ---
    They're so far away from me.
