[00:24] ---
    It seemed like it had
    been decided long before

[00:30] ---
    It seemed like we knew long ago
[00:36] ---
    As if we followed an invisible line
[00:42] ---
    We were led to each other,
    to an intersecting saison

[00:47] ---
    Like how light and dark
    are two sides of the same coin

[00:53] ---
    I was captivated by mystification
[00:59] ---
    When I turned around toward the voice
    that whispered in my ear

[01:05] ---
    The door had opened before I realized
[01:10] ---
    Like joining a little
    chance with inevitability

[01:16] ---
    Two histoires were set into motion, ah
[01:28] ---
    Continuing on forever
[01:44] ---
    "My most glorious moment
[01:46] ---
    was the night I made
    the blue rose in the palace.
[01:51] ---
    It happened only two years later."
[02:10] ---
    Then...
[02:12] ---
    Then you truly will not
    show me your face?
[02:16] ---
    The man who stands
    before you now is my true self.
[02:21] ---
    There is no falsehood in my heart,
    my beloved Coco Rose.
[02:29] ---
    Baron Musgrave!
[02:31] ---
    May I help you?
[02:36] ---
    Several days later, a trial was held.
[02:39] ---
    Next witness. Jupiter Roger
    of the Academy of Sciences!
[02:45] ---
    Was alchemy possible, or not?
[02:48] ---
    A Ministry of the Occult
    scholar gave his testimony.
[02:51] ---
    An Academy of Sciences scholar cut at me.
[02:54] ---
    And it was all a trap to get me to slip up.
[03:00] ---
    What a farce...
[03:01] ---
    I'll give you a chance, Leviathan.
[03:04] ---
    Create gold for us, here and now.
[03:06] ---
    This is an order from His Majesty,
    Rupert de Giret.
[03:12] ---
    I see.
[03:14] ---
    You wish to chase me out
    and produce gold yourself.
[03:18] ---
    Wh-What are you saying?!
[03:20] ---
    Do you not agree, Majesty?
[03:25] ---
    Your mask...
[03:27] ---
    Would you take off your mask?
[03:30] ---
    I don't care about the gold.
[03:32] ---
    I'm just afraid...
[03:35] ---
    Are you a devil? A human?
[03:38] ---
    Have I formed a contract
    with some unknown creature?
[03:45] ---
    S-Stay back!
[03:47] ---
    Please...
[03:48] ---
    Your mask...
[03:50] ---
    Take off your mask!
[03:52] ---
    Stay back!
[03:54] ---
    Don't touch me!
[04:04] ---
    "Episode 15"
    "The Two Monsters Form a Bond"
[04:12] ---
    My father told me...
[04:14] ---
    They concluded that
    alchemy doesn't exist!
[04:18] ---
    It's so foolish...
[04:19] ---
    Ian, thou needst not worry.
[04:24] ---
    Please, teach me alchemy!
[04:27] ---
    I'll use your techniques
    to convince my father!
[04:43] ---
    I forced him to drink molten gold.
[04:48] ---
    You fiend!
[04:49] ---
    Arrest him!
[04:51] ---
    Where, in this room, is the gold?
[04:54] ---
    Ask Musgrave.
[04:56] ---
    If real alchemists do not exist,
[04:59] ---
    then where did the gold
    that killed his son come from?
[05:04] ---
    No one can punish me!
[05:06] ---
    No one.
[05:07] ---
    No one at all!
[05:29] ---
    Forgive me, Ian.
[05:32] ---
    Did you forget yourself
    in anger and despair?
[05:35] ---
    You truly are a fool.
[05:41] ---
    Ian...
[05:42] ---
    I've been wanting to meet you, Leviathan.
[05:49] ---
    My name is Albert.
[05:51] ---
    I came here to protect you.
[05:58] ---
    You said you would protect me.
[06:00] ---
    From what?
[06:02] ---
    From the king.
[06:04] ---
    We of the Ministry of the Occult normally
    couldn't help if it meant betraying the king.
[06:09] ---
    But I, for personal reasons,
    wish to save you.
[06:15] ---
    Of course, there is a condition.
[06:18] ---
    Dost thou wish for gold?
[06:20] ---
    No, that's so tacky.
[06:24] ---
    What I want is preparations
    for the coming storm.
[06:28] ---
    Storm?
[06:29] ---
    The first one.
[06:31] ---
    A storm of unprecedented size is coming.
[06:34] ---
    The king doesn't realize it.
[06:38] ---
    To what do you refer?
[06:40] ---
    A war.
[06:42] ---
    Of a scale humanity has
    never before experienced...
[06:47] ---
    The world will be split in two, and fight...
[06:51] ---
    Every town...
[06:53] ---
    Every sea...
[06:54] ---
    Every sky will become a battlefield!
[06:58] ---
    And so much blood will flow...
[07:01] ---
    Countries will be destroyed...
[07:08] ---
    After the storm, the world will be changed.
[07:11] ---
    A new age will come, governed by new rules.
[07:16] ---
    I must protect it...
[07:18] ---
    Our history!
[07:20] ---
    Our knowledge!
[07:21] ---
    The power of the ancients!
[07:24] ---
    And what do you wish me to do?
[07:27] ---
    He wants to use you.
[07:29] ---
    Make me the power to fight.
[07:32] ---
    To protect the old Europe...
    To protect Saubure from the new powers!
[07:38] ---
    What am I to make?
[07:40] ---
    Deathless, artificial soldiers.
[07:44] ---
    Artificial men... homunculi.
[07:52] ---
    A tool for the storm...
[07:54] ---
    A lonely monster trapped in a clock tower...
[07:57] ---
    Still wandering that prison, all alone...
[08:03] ---
    You, too?
[08:07] ---
    I know who you are...
[08:11] ---
    ...Brian Roscoe.
[08:14] ---
    I heard about you in the
    village of the gray wolves.
[08:18] ---
    Who are you?
[08:20] ---
    What are Victorique and her mother?
[08:25] ---
    What are you to her?
[08:28] ---
    Me? I'm...
[08:31] ---
    ...Victorique's friend!
[08:33] ---
    Friend?
[08:37] ---
    What's so funny?
[08:39] ---
    Gray Wolves can't make
    friends with humans.
[08:43] ---
    Gray Wolves won't give their
    hearts to humans either.
[08:46] ---
    That's not true!
[08:48] ---
    And humans do nothing
    but fear Gray Wolves.
[08:52] ---
    They only get close when
    they want to use their power.
[09:03] ---
    Victorique...
[09:09] ---
    During the first storm,
    that beautiful monster was born...
[09:14] ---
    In preparation for the second storm.
[09:18] ---
    Storm?
[09:20] ---
    Many years from now...
[09:23] ---
    ...a great wind will blow,
    and shake the whole world.
[09:29] ---
    It's true, that child is of my brethren.
[09:32] ---
    But she is also the child of an
    influential noble of this country.
[09:36] ---
    She is nothing but their tool.
[09:40] ---
    Are you going to do
    something to Victorique?
[09:42] ---
    What if I am?
[09:44] ---
    I'll protect her!
[09:45] ---
    Can you protect her?
[10:03] ---
    You're quite the knight.
[10:07] ---
    Victorique is not a tool!
[10:11] ---
    She's not a monster...
    or a Gray Wolf... either!
[10:21] ---
    She's my friend!
[10:31] ---
    Everything is already in motion.
[10:34] ---
    Wait! What do you mean?
[10:39] ---
    Be careful. Marquis de Blois is a fickle man.
[10:49] ---
    He disappeared?
[10:54] ---
    Marquis de Blois... Victorique's father?
[10:59] ---
    Something's going to happen soon.
[11:02] ---
    Around Victorique...
[11:06] ---
    Victorique!
[11:07] ---
    What?
[11:10] ---
    V-Victorique!
[11:12] ---
    Oh, um, I was just...
[11:14] ---
    ...having vocal practice!
[11:16] ---
    --Vik! Tor! Ee! Ka!
[11:17] ---
    --You are a bizarre man.
[11:20] ---
    S-So what are you doing here?
[11:22] ---
    I came here to solve the riddle, obviously.
[11:30] ---
    You solved the mystery
    of Leviathan, you mean?
[11:32] ---
    I have all the fragments of chaos.
[11:35] ---
    Shall I explain it?
[11:37] ---
    Of course!
[11:38] ---
    I have no choice.
[11:40] ---
    Bring the newt and the spike-head with you.
[11:43] ---
    Okay!
[11:46] ---
    There are two reasons why the
    clock tower ghost story gained popularity.
[11:51] ---
    One is that over 20 years ago,
    there really was a mysterious alchemist.
[11:57] ---
    And the other is that sensation
    you're feeling right now.
[12:02] ---
    Look.
[12:03] ---
    What's that?
[12:05] ---
    I asked the carpenter investigating
    this building for a copy of the plans.
[12:10] ---
    The blue lines are its original appearance.
[12:14] ---
    The black lines are the
    clock tower as constructed.
[12:17] ---
    This is the source of the strange sensation.
[12:20] ---
    This building was built
    to be slightly warped.
[12:24] ---
    For instance, the stairways
    are slightly tilted.
[12:28] ---
    They're built to look straight,
    but they curve very slightly.
[12:32] ---
    Every stair is of a
    slightly different height.
[12:37] ---
    I see!
[12:38] ---
    That's why that happened!
[12:42] ---
    But why did they build it this way?
[12:45] ---
    You heard the stories of the rooms
    meant to hide Protestants, right?
[12:50] ---
    Yeah.
[12:53] ---
    In the same way, the tower was
    warped to conceal hidden rooms.
[12:58] ---
    And according to the blueprints...
[13:07] ---
    This school was originally built
    to be a secret Sauburean armory.
[13:11] ---
    It was constructed to hide many things
    that could not be made public.
[13:16] ---
    It wouldn't be unusual for it
    to contain hidden rooms.
[13:19] ---
    Then something is hidden here?
[13:23] ---
    Victorique...
[13:25] ---
    You...
[13:27] ---
    Kujo, sing.
[13:31] ---
    Huh? Sing what?
[13:32] ---
    The song about the Africans.
[13:34] ---
    No! Why should I--?
[13:36] ---
    That hurt!
[13:41] ---
    Fine! I will!
[13:43] ---
    Excellent.
[13:50] ---
    ♪ Dee doo-da-doo, da-doo! Doo! ♪
[13:54] ---
    ♪ Gold and skin of black! ♪
[13:59] ---
    ♪ Dee doo-da-doo, da-doo! Doo! ♪
[14:03] ---
    ♪ They rowed and rowed! ♪
[14:07] ---
    ♪ They rowed and rowed! ♪
[14:11] ---
    ♪ Dee doo-da-doo, da-doo! Doo! ♪
[14:15] ---
    ♪ Dee doo-da-doo, da-doo! Doo! ♪
[14:19] ---
    ♪ The Africans on the burning ground ♪
[14:28] ---
    ♪ jumped and shouted ♪
[14:32] ---
    ♪ and disappeared! ♪
[14:39] ---
    Th-That's all there is!
[14:41] ---
    And it's cruel to make a man dance
    and sing in front of people.
[14:45] ---
    Shut up.
[14:45] ---
    Close your mouth and stand there with
    a hangdog expression on your face.
[14:51] ---
    This song brought a great deal
    of chaos to the surface.
[14:55] ---
    Gold... And why do the Africans
    "shout" and "disappear"?
[15:01] ---
    You said that the Africans in this village
    died out in 1873, didn't you?
[15:06] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[15:08] ---
    That's the year when the gold rush
    began in the New World and in Africa.
[15:16] ---
    The Kingdom of Saubure
    had colonies there, too.
[15:19] ---
    The king at the time used Africans
    to secretly bring gold into the country.
[15:26] ---
    And then, to keep them quiet...
[15:35] ---
    But the next year, the king suddenly died.
[15:39] ---
    In the chaos, everyone who knew
    the secret of the gold died out.
[15:45] ---
    Except for him...
[15:47] ---
    Him who?
[15:49] ---
    He remained in hiding for a long time.
[15:52] ---
    But some 20 years later, he returned...
[15:56] ---
    ...as a mysterious masked alchemist.
[15:59] ---
    Leviathan?
[16:01] ---
    But you said his alchemy
    was a fraud, didn't you?
[16:05] ---
    Kujo, do you remember what I said
    about the Philosopher's Stone?
[16:11] ---
    It's a special stone alchemists
    would carry around, right?
[16:16] ---
    And its color?
[16:17] ---
    A deep red, like a pomegranate aril.
[16:21] ---
    Do you see that shade of red in this room?
[16:29] ---
    Someone with the knowledge of alchemists
[16:32] ---
    would surely find their eyes
    drawn to that flower.
[16:35] ---
    All the ones who died were outsiders.
[16:39] ---
    They likely came here seeking
    the secret of Leviathan's alchemy.
[16:45] ---
    Don't touch it, Avril Bradley!
[16:48] ---
    Why not?
[16:49] ---
    It's poisoned.
[16:54] ---
    Leviathan set it up...
[16:57] ---
    ...to conceal his alchemy and his identity.
[17:01] ---
    His identity?
[17:08] ---
    Let's go.
[17:23] ---
    This is...
[17:26] ---
    I found you, Leviathan.
[17:29] ---
    Doth that frustrate thee?
[17:32] ---
    Fool, I know...
[17:37] ---
    ...the true face beneath your mask.
[17:43] ---
    Well? Do you... admit defeat?
[17:46] ---
    Do you...?
[17:57] ---
    I know...
[18:04] ---
    He was African?
[18:08] ---
    Fifty years ago, the "invisible
    spirit" at that grave...
[18:14] ---
    was him.
[18:20] ---
    An African boy would
    blend into the darkness.
[18:23] ---
    That's why he couldn't see him.
[18:25] ---
    I know.
[18:27] ---
    You were the only one who knew
    the location of the hidden gold.
[18:31] ---
    You used that gold to pretend to be
    an alchemist and get close to the king.
[18:37] ---
    But why did you do it?
[18:40] ---
    You wanted to protect your homeland.
[18:43] ---
    To manipulate the king
[18:45] ---
    and protect your beloved home
    from becoming a foreign colony.
[18:50] ---
    And...
[18:53] ---
    ...you died before you could achieve it.
[18:57] ---
    This all happened long ago.
[19:07] ---
    A dream... An illusion...
[19:14] ---
    Victorique!
[19:23] ---
    Are you okay?
[19:25] ---
    Yeah.
[19:27] ---
    Farewell...
[19:31] ---
    ...black monster.
[19:40] ---
    Is this the end?
[19:43] ---
    Leviathan!
[19:45] ---
    Where are you? Come out!
[19:47] ---
    I need you!
[19:49] ---
    A soldier!
[19:51] ---
    A homunculus!
[19:54] ---
    You think I could make something like that?
[19:58] ---
    Albert...
[20:00] ---
    If you want power,
    have a child with a woman.
[20:05] ---
    A woman with special power...
[20:08] ---
    Albert de Blois.
[20:13] ---
    Leviathan!
[20:26] ---
    They've decided to tear it down.
[20:29] ---
    I see.
[20:32] ---
    How much do you know?
[20:35] ---
    I have my wellspring of wisdom.
[20:39] ---
    Our father tried to use Leviathan
    to create a homunculus army.
[20:45] ---
    But he failed.
[20:47] ---
    And then he had me.
[20:49] ---
    With the Gray Wolf...
[20:53] ---
    Leviathan and I are the same.
[20:56] ---
    Tools for the coming storm.
[20:59] ---
    The reason I was locked away in this school
[21:02] ---
    is because it's a secret armory.
[21:05] ---
    But does Father intend
    to leave you here forever?
[21:10] ---
    Or has he...?
[21:19] ---
    There you are!
[21:21] ---
    Victorique!
[21:23] ---
    I was looking for you!
    Really! You keep disappearing.
[21:28] ---
    I don't know how much searching
    I've done since we met.
[21:32] ---
    Don't blame me if I really
    lose you some time!
[21:36] ---
    Really, Kujo?
[21:40] ---
    You won't be able to find me?
[21:44] ---
    Can you protect her?
[21:46] ---
    You two will be blown apart
    by that great wind!
[21:57] ---
    But...
[21:59] ---
    ...your hearts will never be separated.
[22:07] ---
    Don't worry.
[22:09] ---
    See? I'll always find you, just like this.
[22:19] ---
    Now, let's go.
[22:25] ---
    "To thou who findest this book someday...
[22:29] ---
    Twin of my soul.
[22:32] ---
    I beg of thee, find me.
[22:36] ---
    And from this prison...
[22:38] ---
    ...from this loneliness...
[22:41] ---
    ...save me."
[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

[24:14] ---
    Hey, Victorique!
[24:17] ---
    Aren't you here?
[24:19] ---
    Did you go hiding somewhere again?
[24:22] ---
    Huh? You're not here?
[24:24] ---
    Victorique!
[24:26] ---
    "Next Episode"
    "The Fly-Headed Mary Caused the Fall"
[24:26] ---
    Are you really not here?
