[00:35] ---
    A skeleton!
[00:57] ---
    It seemed like it had
    been decided long before

[01:03] ---
    It seemed like we knew long ago
[01:09] ---
    As if we followed an invisible line
[01:15] ---
    We were led to each other,
    to an intersecting saison

[01:20] ---
    Like how light and dark
    are two sides of the same coin

[01:26] ---
    I was captivated by mystification
[01:32] ---
    When I turned around toward the voice
    that whispered in my ear

[01:38] ---
    The door had opened before I realized
[01:43] ---
    Like joining a little
    chance with inevitability

[01:49] ---
    Two histoires were set into motion, ah
[02:01] ---
    Continuing on forever
[02:14] ---
    Oh, Kujo, you really are a fraidy-cat.
[02:17] ---
    Am not!
[02:18] ---
    I was just shocked because
    you started throttling me...
[02:22] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[02:25] ---
    The Illusion in the Black Tower.
[02:26] ---
    It sure was fun, huh?
[02:28] ---
    I slept through most of it...
[02:31] ---
    But a masked monster
    hiding in a black tower...
[02:34] ---
    I feel like I've heard
    a story like that before.
[02:38] ---
    And I've seen that clock tower
    somewhere before, too...

    Last day of summer vacation, huh?
[03:25] ---
    By the way, Avril,
[03:27] ---
    weren't you going to stay at your
    grandmother's until the last day of break?
[03:32] ---
    Why did you come back earlier?
[03:35] ---
    Wh-Why?
[03:37] ---
    Why else?
[03:39] ---
    You'd be with Victorique
    the whole time I was gone.
[03:42] ---
    Just thinking about that...
[03:44] ---
    What is it?
[03:44] ---
    N-Nothing! No real reason.
[03:47] ---
    I see.
[03:48] ---
    I have things to do, so I'd better get going.
[03:52] ---
    Are you going to the library?
[03:55] ---
    N-Nothing...
[03:57] ---
    Wait...
[03:58] ---
    Oh, I know!
[04:00] ---
    What?
[04:01] ---
    I just remembered!
[04:03] ---
    Let's go, Kujo!
[04:04] ---
    W-Wait!
[04:06] ---
    "Episode 13"
    "The Fool Names His Own Spokesman"
[04:20] ---
    What is all this?
[04:23] ---
    Look at that!
[04:31] ---
    See? Just like the one in the movie, right?
[04:34] ---
    Yeah! What could it mean?
[04:36] ---
    Maybe there's some kind of curse!
[04:38] ---
    No, I doubt that.
[04:45] ---
    Maybe we can't get in?
[04:47] ---
    Looks like it.
[04:48] ---
    Well, I should go now.
[04:49] ---
    No!
[04:53] ---
    W-Well...
[04:58] ---
    See? It opened!
[05:03] ---
    Are you sure we should be doing this?
[05:05] ---
    Really, Kujo...
[05:07] ---
    I finally came back, but you just want
    to go to the library every day.
[05:11] ---
    Is Victorique really that pretty?
[05:14] ---
    I think I'm pretty, too... Maybe...
[05:18] ---
    Did you say something?
[05:19] ---
    Adventure, adventure!
[05:29] ---
    Maybe when I look in the mirror,
    I imagine myself prettier than I am?
[05:34] ---
    Maybe Kujo thinks I'm really plain.
[05:38] ---
    That's awful!
[05:44] ---
    Are you okay?
[05:45] ---
    S-Sorry!
[05:46] ---
    We really should go back. I...
[05:49] ---
    Not yet!
[05:50] ---
    Huh?
[05:50] ---
    B-Because... That's right.
[05:53] ---
    If it's just like the movie, it might
    have that alchemist's room, too!
[05:58] ---
    Let's go looking!
[06:01] ---
    There's no way!
[06:08] ---
    It's here!
[06:15] ---
    Is this...?
[06:18] ---
    I remember!
[06:20] ---
    The alchemist Leviathan!
[06:22] ---
    Of course... like that ghost story at school!
[06:25] ---
    Alchemist... Leviathan?
[06:29] ---
    He was a masked alchemist who
    really existed 20 or 30 years ago.
[06:35] ---
    They said he built his workshop
    in this tower.
[06:38] ---
    The queen really liked him.
    He even had a say in politics.
[06:43] ---
    But the king feared his power.
[06:48] ---
    Even when he was shot with
    poison arrows, he didn't die.
[06:52] ---
    And he ran off somewhere.
[06:54] ---
    He was immortal.
[06:57] ---
    The rumors say he wore a robe and mask
    to hide the fact that he never aged.
[07:02] ---
    Ever since, a monster has lived
    in his clock tower,
[07:07] ---
    roaming the same ground
    night after night...
[07:15] ---
    I see.
[07:16] ---
    I guess some people heard that story
    and made that movie based on it.
[07:21] ---
    That's boring!
[07:23] ---
    Sometimes the truth is boring.
[07:26] ---
    We found the room
    you were after, so let's go.
[07:29] ---
    Kujo!
[07:30] ---
    Is there still more to see?
[07:33] ---
    Th-That sound...
[07:46] ---
    I can't take it!
[07:48] ---
    I can't see anything,
    so get going right now!
[07:52] ---
    Ms. Cécile?
[08:02] ---
    Ms. Cécile was acting really weird...
[08:04] ---
    Students aren't allowed here!
[08:07] ---
    If you get too close...
[08:09] ---
    Rarrrr! Get it?
[08:12] ---
    She was so mad.
[08:14] ---
    I bet there really is something
    in that clock tower.
[08:18] ---
    Right, Kujo--?
[08:20] ---
    Huh? Kujo?
[08:24] ---
    Kujo?!
[08:30] ---
    He went to the library.
[08:35] ---
    Jerk! I meant this to be a date!
[08:38] ---
    Doesn't he know that's why
    you invite people to movies?
[08:41] ---
    I picked my cutest dress, too,
    got all dolled up and was really excited...
[08:46] ---
    ...but he spent the whole time sleeping!
[08:50] ---
    Stupid Kujo!
[08:55] ---
    So bored.
[08:57] ---
    He's late today.
[09:01] ---
    Really. While I'm here, feeling so bored...
[09:05] ---
    What on Earth is he doing?
[09:07] ---
    That useless little--
[09:18] ---
    That hurt.
[09:43] ---
    "To thou who findest
    this book someday...
[09:47] ---
    The writings of Leviathan, 1899."
[09:51] ---
    Leviathan? The alchemist?
[09:55] ---
    Is this book yours?
[09:57] ---
    A pop-up memoir... What a ridiculous man.
[10:00] ---
    "I am an alchemist.
[10:02] ---
    I have mastered the mystical forces
    that can make something from nothing.
[10:08] ---
    Thou who hast found this book
    in the future... art thou amazed?"
[10:12] ---
    What an unpleasant man.
[10:14] ---
    "To thee in the future...
    art thou a man? A woman?
[10:18] ---
    An adult? A child?
[10:21] ---
    It mattereth not. For thou
    shalt never solve my riddle.
[10:24] ---
    Doth that frustrate thee?"
[10:26] ---
    Wh-What are you talking about?
[10:28] ---
    There's nothing I can't solve!
[10:30] ---
    "I am the Fool.
[10:33] ---
    Thou must become the Fool's spokesman
    and expose my secret."
[10:37] ---
    Don't order me around!
[10:39] ---
    Impudent fool!
[10:42] ---
    Victorique!
[10:47] ---
    Oh, Victorique!
[10:49] ---
    I heard an interesting story
    that would make you happy!
[10:52] ---
    Did you go to see a movie
    on someone's invitation?
[10:56] ---
    How did you know?
[10:57] ---
    You still have the ticket stub
    in your jacket pocket.
[11:00] ---
    The title is not the kind of movie
    you would choose yourself.
[11:03] ---
    I see! Avril invited me.
[11:07] ---
    Really? And you went?
[11:09] ---
    But anyway, there's this
    alchemist called Leviathan...
[11:15] ---
    Have you heard of him?
[11:17] ---
    So I kept getting dizzy
    and feeling disoriented.
[11:22] ---
    There are rumors that say that
    Leviathan is still alive, too.
[11:26] ---
    Do you think they're true?
[11:28] ---
    Alchemists study the art of
    turning one substance into another.
[11:34] ---
    Most pursue gold,
[11:36] ---
    eternal life,
[11:38] ---
    or homunculi, artificial life.
[11:40] ---
    They use an object known as
    "the Philosopher's Stone" to achieve them.
[11:45] ---
    Philosopher's Stone?
[11:46] ---
    They say that skilled alchemists possess it.
[11:50] ---
    It is said to be a deep red,
    like a pomegranate aril.
[11:56] ---
    Wow...
[11:57] ---
    But alchemy is nothing but a fraud.
[12:01] ---
    People who talk about alchemists, and make
    a lot of noise about believing in them,
[12:05] ---
    they're idiots!
[12:06] ---
    Huge idiots!
[12:10] ---
    V-Victorique?
[12:16] ---
    It's a new school semester,
    so you've got to get your strength up!
[12:20] ---
    R-Right...
[12:22] ---
    By the way, who was the handsome man
    you were with yesterday?
[12:25] ---
    A friend of mine saw you in town.
[12:28] ---
    An Oriental man
    with black hair and black eyes
[12:30] ---
    was walking with a
    handsome man with red hair.
[12:33] ---
    An Oriental man and a man with red hair?
[12:35] ---
    Who was it? Come on, tell me!
[12:38] ---
    It wasn't me.
[12:41] ---
    I was with a classmate all day yesterday.
[12:44] ---
    Really?
[12:47] ---
    And here I thought you might
    introduce me to a promising suitor...
[12:51] ---
    Sorry...
[12:56] ---
    There's another man from
    the Orient here besides me?
[13:03] ---
    An Oriental man...
[13:04] ---
    ...with black hair?
[13:27] ---
    What happened?
[13:35] ---
    Th-The alchemist...
[13:38] ---
    Levia... than...
[14:07] ---
    Who's that?
[14:10] ---
    Good morning, Kujo.
[14:12] ---
    Oh, good morning.
[14:15] ---
    But, excuse me, do I know you?
[14:20] ---
    It's me.
[14:22] ---
    Figure it out!
[14:25] ---
    I-Inspector!
[14:28] ---
    It's true, that's your suit...
[14:30] ---
    D-Did you change your hair?
[14:33] ---
    It looks so ordinary.
[14:35] ---
    It's so early in the day,
    I didn't have time to style it.
[14:38] ---
    Oh, to style it...
[14:41] ---
    It's so silky.
[14:43] ---
    Lay off!
[14:45] ---
    So? Where's the crime scene?
[14:47] ---
    The machinery room on the second floor.
[14:50] ---
    Okay, I'm off.
[14:54] ---
    Ah! It smells like flowers!
[14:56] ---
    That's just my shampoo!
[15:00] ---
    Last night, two outsiders
    came to the village.
[15:04] ---
    One was from the Far East,
    the other was a man with red hair.
[15:08] ---
    This is clearly the Oriental man.
[15:10] ---
    The man with red hair is at the inn.
[15:12] ---
    One of my lieutenants
    is bringing him here now.
[15:23] ---
    Victorique!
[15:29] ---
    That hurt!
[15:33] ---
    You're late.
[15:34] ---
    S-Sorry.
[15:36] ---
    What is it now?
[15:38] ---
    Well, see...
[15:41] ---
    The clock tower...
[15:43] ---
    A purple bruise...
[15:45] ---
    The alchemist...
[15:51] ---
    I wonder where the inspector is.
    Normally he'd come right away.
[15:55] ---
    Stupid man...
[15:57] ---
    Stupid? You mean the inspector?
[16:00] ---
    Me, then?
[16:03] ---
    Then who?
[16:04] ---
    Leviathan!
[16:07] ---
    Kujo...
[16:09] ---
    I received his challenge.
[16:11] ---
    I will solve Leviathan's riddle
    and put an end to his murders.
[16:15] ---
    Wh-What are you talking about?
[16:17] ---
    You think today's murder was the work of
    an alchemist who died over 20 years ago?
[16:23] ---
    The riddle is indeed difficult,
    but I have my wellspring of wisdom.
[16:28] ---
    I will reconstruct the fragments
    of chaos he left behind.
[16:31] ---
    I will become the Fool's spokesman!
[16:34] ---
    You mean you'll solve the case?
[16:38] ---
    Hey, where are you going?
[16:40] ---
    The lower world.
[16:41] ---
    Lower world?
[16:42] ---
    You're leaving the library?
[16:45] ---
    I'll come with you!
[16:50] ---
    You use the stairs.
[16:52] ---
    I can use it when we
    go down together, can't I?
[16:55] ---
    Seeing you pant and gasp for breath
[17:00] ---
    and have your thighs turn to noodles as you
    ascend and descend the staircase for me...
[17:07] ---
    ...is a thing that I love!
[17:13] ---
    What the heck?!
[17:19] ---
    Darn it!
[17:25] ---
    Is this what Victorique was reading?
[17:29] ---
    What is this?
[17:32] ---
    "For thou shalt never solve my riddle.
[17:34] ---
    Doth that frustrate thee?"
[17:37] ---
    I see. So that's what got her so mad.
[17:41] ---
    "It is the winter of 1899.
[17:44] ---
    In this winter, which marks
    the end of the century...
[17:48] ---
    I, Leviathan, write this."
[17:53] ---
    Long ago, I was a nameless traveler.
[17:57] ---
    In my travels, I acquired a certain item...
[18:01] ---
    The Philosopher's Stone.
[18:04] ---
    Its power gave me eternal time and life.
[18:10] ---
    In the winter of 1897,
[18:13] ---
    on a whim, I abandoned
    my traveler's lifestyle.
[18:19] ---
    What did I create with
    the Philosopher's Stone?
[18:23] ---
    It was gold, unquestionably.
[18:26] ---
    My name became known
    throughout the country.
[18:29] ---
    And then...
[18:31] ---
    ...the Queen of Saubure, Coco Rose,
    sent me an invitation to the royal palace.
[18:36] ---
    Immediately after...
[18:40] ---
    The man's name was Baron Musgrave.
[18:43] ---
    He was a servant of the king,
    Rupert de Giret.
[18:46] ---
    Are you a fraud?
[18:49] ---
    As much as thou art.
[18:56] ---
    My father and the king
    both think you're a fraud.
[19:01] ---
    Find it! You must find it!
[19:03] ---
    The queen is ignorant
    of the ways of the world,
[19:05] ---
    so they fear she's being deceived.
[19:07] ---
    Dost thou think so as well?
[19:13] ---
    Musgrave's son, Ian, had
    an innocent's trust in me.
[19:17] ---
    And an innocent's belief
    in alchemy as well.
[19:22] ---
    The baron searched
    every corner of my laboratory,
[19:25] ---
    and confirmed that there was no gold.
[19:28] ---
    Then he turned to me and said...
[19:30] ---
    Until you can make gold,
    no matter how many years it takes,
[19:32] ---
    I will not permit you to leave this place.
[19:35] ---
    Three days will be enough.
[19:39] ---
    And three days later...
[19:47] ---
    How did you do it?!
[19:49] ---
    There are no other ways out of this room!
[19:51] ---
    The building was surrounded...
[19:53] ---
    You fraud... How did you do it?!
[19:56] ---
    I wish to see the queen.
[19:59] ---
    I shall aid her.
[20:05] ---
    Your Majesties,
    as proof of my loyalty to you,
[20:10] ---
    I shall take this colorless white rose
[20:14] ---
    and turn it blue as a blessing to your union.
[20:18] ---
    That's not possible!
[20:21] ---
    There's no such thing as a blue rose!
[20:24] ---
    There is nothing that alchemy cannot do.
[20:28] ---
    I-Impossible!
[20:37] ---
    Oh, my alchemist!
[20:43] ---
    For the sake of the country,
    I continued to make gold.
[20:48] ---
    I promised the queen
    eternal youth and beauty.
[20:54] ---
    The king began to seek my opinions
    on politics, and I gave them.
[21:01] ---
    But...
[21:02] ---
    What are you?
[21:04] ---
    What are you after?
[21:05] ---
    Just what are you hiding
    beneath that mask?!
[21:12] ---
    If my mask were removed,
    it would be the end of me.
[21:18] ---
    Winter, 1899.
[21:21] ---
    I can no longer bear
    the weight of my sin.
[21:24] ---
    That sin was not deceiving the king...
[21:29] ---
    ...nor manipulating the queen.
[21:31] ---
    It was merely that...
[21:33] ---
    That innocent soul...
[21:36] ---
    Ian...
[21:39] ---
    I killed him.
[21:49] ---
    "To thee in the future...
    art thou a man? A woman?
[21:54] ---
    An adult? A child?
[21:56] ---
    It mattereth not.
[21:57] ---
    Save me.
[21:58] ---
    I cannot bear the weight of my sin.
[22:01] ---
    If the time of my death doth come,
[22:04] ---
    my soul shall wander the clock tower
    where Ian died for eternity.
[22:08] ---
    And I shall continue to kill.
[22:10] ---
    My soul shall wander this realm
    eternally as a murderer."
[22:20] ---
    Where were you this morning?
[22:22] ---
    I was at the inn all day.
    The innkeeper will vouch for me.
[22:26] ---
    What did you come to this village for?
[22:28] ---
    Wong, the man who brought me here,
    seemed to have some ulterior motive.
[22:32] ---
    I don't know what it was.
[22:34] ---
    And what's your motive?
[22:37] ---
    I'm looking for a monster.
[22:41] ---
    The Monstre Charmant.
[22:44] ---
    Whenever, wherever,
    let us start a new journey

[23:04] ---
    I awakened a soul that was almost lost,
    confide in you

[23:13] ---
    Holding tight to the days we spent together
[23:23] ---
    Whenever, wherever,
    we draw close to each other

[23:32] ---
    There is nothing to fear,
    we will split the darkness between us

[23:43] ---
    Because my steady heartbeat tells me so
[23:52] ---
    Until we meet again,
    may my feelings be with you

[24:15] ---
    He's so stupid.
[24:17] ---
    Taking the side of that farting newt...
[24:20] ---
