[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
[01:41] ---
    To lure out my mother, Cordelia,
[01:45] ---
    I was moved here.
[01:48] ---
    If I howled for rescue,
    Mama would come to rescue me.
[01:53] ---
    That's what that man,
    Marquis de Blois, assumed.
[01:58] ---
    But I defied him, and remained silent.
[02:03] ---
    Granted, it's possible she wouldn't
    have come, even if I had howled...
[02:08] ---
    Huh? But she's your mom.
[02:10] ---
    If she knew you were in trouble...
[02:14] ---
    I met my mother only once,
    when I was still very young.
[02:29] ---
    Take this.
[02:35] ---
    As long as you have it,
    I will always come to save you.
[02:40] ---
    No matter where you are,
    I'll come running.
[02:47] ---
    That pendant was the proof
    of the bond between us.
[02:53] ---
    But I lost it...
[02:57] ---
    That's right. That night... she...
[03:07] ---
    Kujo, you're the one who came for me.
[03:12] ---
    Just like always.
[03:15] ---
    Thanks to that, I...
[03:26] ---
    "Episode 17"
    "The Box Rests in the Spiral Labyrinth"
[03:34] ---
    Hey, Victorique.
[03:36] ---
    You have cream on your cheek.
[03:41] ---
    Also!
[03:43] ---
    I remembered to bring this, too.
[03:47] ---
    Excellent work, Kujo.
[03:48] ---
    You're welcome.
[03:50] ---
    But you're as bossy as ever, I see.
[03:55] ---
    The Oriental boy has appeared.
[03:58] ---
    He's likely to take the wolf cub with him.
[04:01] ---
    It doesn't matter.
    We were told to leave them be.
[04:05] ---
    The prey we are after
    has willingly entered the net.
[04:10] ---
    Welcome to Phantasmagoria night,
[04:13] ---
    Mr. Brian Roscoe.
[04:16] ---
    I'm sorry for coming without an invitation.
[04:19] ---
    Not at all. We're honored to have
    a man of your prestige here.
[04:26] ---
    But what we present at this feast
    is not mere sleight of hand.
[04:31] ---
    They are true and honest miracles.
[04:34] ---
    Yes, that's what I've heard.
[04:36] ---
    Please let me watch,
    for future reference.
[04:40] ---
    Very well.
[04:42] ---
    Then I'll enjoy myself
    to my heart's content.
[04:47] ---
    Keep him under watch.
[04:49] ---
    He'll surely be working with Cordelia Gallo.
[04:53] ---
    Yes, sir. And...
[05:00] ---
    Roger's rat, eh?
[05:10] ---
    What's that machine?
[05:12] ---
    A magic lantern, I believe.
[05:15] ---
    It's a device for projecting images.
[05:19] ---
    You can greatly magnify
    photographs and pictures.
[05:22] ---
    Wow!
[05:25] ---
    I see...
[05:26] ---
    Its presence here explains...
[05:31] ---
    What is it? What did you realize?
[05:40] ---
    That's...
[05:42] ---
    Kujo! Hey!
[05:46] ---
    Mr. Hunt!
[05:48] ---
    What are you doing here?
[05:51] ---
    Oh, nothing much.
[05:57] ---
    A-Are you okay?
[05:59] ---
    You aren't hurt, are you?
[06:00] ---
    My frilly little dear...
[06:04] ---
    Take your filthy hands
    off of me, you dunce.
[06:08] ---
    Victorique. This is Mr. Hunt, a clockmaker.
[06:12] ---
    We were on the train together.
[06:15] ---
    A pleasure.
[06:17] ---
    I see.
[06:19] ---
    By the way, is that machine oil?
[06:21] ---
    There's a bit of dirt
    underneath your fingernails.
[06:26] ---
    Let's go, Kujo.
[06:28] ---
    O-Okay...
[06:36] ---
    Kujo, those are...
[06:38] ---
    They're balloons painted
    with phosphorus, boy.
[06:42] ---
    Shouldn't you be getting
    to work, clockmaker?
[06:44] ---
    The train home won't come for a while.
[06:47] ---
    And it seemed like hanging out
    with you would be more educational.
[06:57] ---
    She has a device to support
    her weight hidden on her back.
[07:00] ---
    Yeah. It's got a spring action pulley.
[07:03] ---
    Huh? Really?
[07:13] ---
    The bullet in the gun...
[07:15] ---
    ...is a fake.
[07:17] ---
    Huh?
[07:18] ---
    It's made with tin and water.
[07:21] ---
    When it strikes, it dissolves into powder.
[07:23] ---
    He fired that at the girl.
[07:25] ---
    And she had that bullet
    in her mouth from the start.
[07:29] ---
    It's a very simple trick.
[07:31] ---
    Wow!
[07:32] ---
    They're both so amazing!
[07:34] ---
    What are you playing stupid for?
[07:37] ---
    Isn't magic your specialty?
[07:40] ---
    Oh, it's you, Elder.
[07:44] ---
    By the way, did you see your--?
[07:46] ---
    She wasn't here.
[07:47] ---
    Where did you hide her, Reaper?
[07:51] ---
    If you want to take her away,
    I won't stop you.
[07:55] ---
    But you will be guilty
    of an even greater crime!
[08:01] ---
    Excuse me. I have to
    catch up with my friend.
[08:05] ---
    Everyone, your attention please!
[08:08] ---
    I am the elder sister, Carmilla.
[08:10] ---
    I am the younger sister, Morella.
[08:12] ---
    They are the last of a magical line
[08:17] ---
    well-known throughout villages in this area.
[08:21] ---
    This is a final glimpse of the old power!
[08:26] ---
    This is called "The Fell Sisters' Cabinet."
[08:31] ---
    Go ahead and watch...
[08:33] ---
    ...with both of your eyes.
[08:45] ---
    What will they do?
[08:46] ---
    What could it be?
[08:48] ---
    What's going to happen?
[09:00] ---
    They switched places?
[09:02] ---
    This is a miracle!
[09:04] ---
    Once, on this continent,
[09:06] ---
    the lands of Europe overflowed
    with the old power, magic!
[09:10] ---
    We accepted it as an everyday occurrence!
[09:14] ---
    But what about now?
[09:16] ---
    We burn coal to power steam engines.
[09:19] ---
    We fly airships through the sky.
[09:21] ---
    We use electric signals to
    communicate across distances.
[09:25] ---
    Indeed, progress is a good thing.
[09:28] ---
    But at the same time, we are losing
    an important power, don't you think?
[09:33] ---
    Yes. For instance, you there!
[09:36] ---
    What is our most important power?
[09:42] ---
    Science.
[09:45] ---
    Mr. Hunt?
[09:47] ---
    Oh? Even after witnessing a miracle,
    you still feel that way?
[09:53] ---
    It's a trick.
[09:55] ---
    What's miraculous about this?
[09:57] ---
    If that is what you think...
[09:59] ---
    ...why don't you...
[10:01] ---
    ...step into the box?
[10:03] ---
    If you do...
[10:05] ---
    ...you will learn.
[10:06] ---
    You surely will learn...
[10:08] ---
    ...the grandness of the old power
    that science cannot explain.
[10:14] ---
    Arrogant child of the new age!
[10:17] ---
    You will...
[10:19] ---
    ...be judged!
[10:22] ---
    Interesting.
[10:23] ---
    Then why don't I prove it
    to you that it's all a trick?
[10:43] ---
    If I do this,
[10:44] ---
    it should be ample proof that the ropes
    on their wrists were not untied.
[10:49] ---
    If it falls on the floor...
[10:52] ---
    True enough.
[10:58] ---
    Kujo! Kujo...
[11:02] ---
    Stop them. If you don't...
[11:05] ---
    Magic of the ancients!
[11:07] ---
    Show us the miracle once more!
[11:18] ---
    What?
[11:22] ---
    Morella!
[11:35] ---
    Hey, he's dead!
[11:37] ---
    It's the dagger from before!
[11:39] ---
    But their hands are still tied...
[11:41] ---
    Then who...?
[11:53] ---
    Everyone, get out of the tent!
[11:55] ---
    What's going on?
[11:57] ---
    Kujo, don't breathe in the smoke!
[12:00] ---
    It contains a hallucinogenic substance.
[12:03] ---
    It's likely to make the audience think
[12:05] ---
    that the magic they show at
    the party is the real thing.
[12:08] ---
    Let's go!
[12:08] ---
    R-Right!
[12:10] ---
    What's going on?
    The fog is too thick!
[12:23] ---
    Is that...?
[12:26] ---
    Hey, Kujo!
[12:27] ---
    Wait here! I'll be back soon!
[12:30] ---
    Wait!
[12:36] ---
    Don't go, Kujo!
[12:37] ---
    It's... It's dangerous in there.
[12:45] ---
    Brian... What are you doing here?
[12:48] ---
    Are you planning to do
    something to Victorique?
[12:56] ---
    Where are you?
[13:01] ---
    You're...
[13:03] ---
    We meet again...
[13:05] ---
    ...Kazuya Kujo.
[13:08] ---
    Cordelia, are you...?
[13:11] ---
    The memento box.
[13:13] ---
    The Academy is quite impressive.
[13:15] ---
    It seems we were a bit too late.
[13:19] ---
    That forbidden box is already lost.
[13:24] ---
    Boy. Give this to her.
[13:30] ---
    Tell her: "Solve the mystery. Show me
    that you have the power to live."
[13:36] ---
    And one more thing...
[13:45] ---
    I'm counting on you.
[13:46] ---
    Wait!
[13:48] ---
    Come see Victorique!
[13:50] ---
    She wants to see you!
[13:53] ---
    She even cried in front of me!
[14:01] ---
    We stopped the fog.
[14:03] ---
    There were signs that
    someone tampered with it.
[14:06] ---
    Where's Brian?
[14:07] ---
    He's with the wolf cub.
[14:12] ---
    Sorry, but I'd like you to
    stay with me a bit longer.
[14:16] ---
    I want to draw their attention
    to me for a while.
[14:19] ---
    You swindler.
[14:21] ---
    You toyed with the German army here
    ten years ago, too, didn't you?
[14:28] ---
    Mary, Who Caused the Fall.
    That incident...
[14:31] ---
    Brian, you were the one who made it
    happen here at Beelzebub's Skull.
[14:37] ---
    Yes.
[14:38] ---
    Using that magic lantern...
[14:52] ---
    I don't know why you helped
    the Academy then.
[14:56] ---
    But what I really want to know...
[14:59] ---
    ...is why, ten years later,
    you and my mother came back.
[15:04] ---
    We and the Ministry of the Occult
    are both looking for something.
[15:09] ---
    Wolf cub, have you ever considered this?
[15:12] ---
    What lies ahead is the age of science,
    represented by the new continent.
[15:17] ---
    The ones who will hold power in that world
[15:19] ---
    are not we of the old tribes,
    nor the Ministry of the Occult.
[15:24] ---
    The Academy...
[15:28] ---
    The memento box is needed
    to erode their influence.
[15:34] ---
    During the war, I hid that forbidden,
[15:37] ---
    secret box in the room
    with the magic lantern.
[15:41] ---
    Oh, it seems I've said too much.
[15:44] ---
    See you later, good-for-nothing wolf cub.
[15:47] ---
    Wait!
[15:48] ---
    One more thing...
[15:49] ---
    Let me ask you one more thing!
[15:52] ---
    Mama... Did she...?
[16:04] ---
    Brian... Where did you go?
[16:10] ---
    Long ago, in the Middle Ages,
[16:13] ---
    it's said that a king shut himself in here,
    fearing the spread of the Black Death.
[16:18] ---
    So a black messenger of death came
    to take him away to the afterlife.
[16:24] ---
    Black Reaper from the East...
[16:29] ---
    Whom in this land did you come
    to take away this night?
[16:35] ---
    You're...
[16:36] ---
    I realized that my wife,
    Cordelia, was on that train.
[16:42] ---
    But if she will not appear, then you...
[16:45] ---
    Your wife?
[16:47] ---
    It's been a fine way to kill time.
[16:50] ---
    That face when I first talked to you...
[16:54] ---
    You're even more sinister-looking
    than I'd heard, Kazuya Kujo.
[16:59] ---
    You're Victorique's father!
[17:03] ---
    Marquis Albert de Blois!
[17:08] ---
    Reaper...
[17:09] ---
    Thank you for bringing her
    so many deaths and cases.
[17:14] ---
    Thanks to you, my wolf cub's
    intellect has been honed.
[17:17] ---
    She comes nearer to perfection.
[17:21] ---
    It was born for me.
[17:24] ---
    My one useful tool in all of Europe.
[17:28] ---
    I ask you to continue refining it.
[17:49] ---
    Your Lordship...
[17:50] ---
    The floodgate...
[17:52] ---
    Useful tool?
[17:54] ---
    Is that what you think of Victorique?
[17:57] ---
    It is my daughter.
[17:59] ---
    What I do with it is my decision.
[18:03] ---
    For the good of the country...
[18:05] ---
    Even so, you have a duty
    to love and protect Victorique!
[18:10] ---
    Because you're...
[18:11] ---
    Appealing to the ties of blood?
[18:15] ---
    You're so young, boy.
[18:17] ---
    Your Lordship!
[18:20] ---
    I'm taking Victorique.
[18:22] ---
    I can't leave her with someone like you.
[18:26] ---
    You insist?
[18:31] ---
    Very well.
[18:33] ---
    But that school is within my power,
    just as this place is.
[18:38] ---
    And no matter where you go,
    no one will escape the coming storm.
[18:50] ---
    Hey, hurry! The seawater's
    breaking through the floodgate!
[18:54] ---
    We won't make it home alive at this rate!
[18:56] ---
    Where's the train?
[18:58] ---
    Victorique!
[19:00] ---
    Did you inhale some of that smoke?
[19:04] ---
    Hang on. Come on, stand up.
[19:16] ---
    It's the Masquerade!
[19:17] ---
    Thank goodness! We're saved!
[19:23] ---
    Victorique!
[19:25] ---
    Leave me, Kujo.
[19:27] ---
    You know I can't do that!
[19:31] ---
    I came to get you!
[19:32] ---
    Kujo...
[19:35] ---
    I...
[19:37] ---
    I don't even know what I was born to be.
[19:39] ---
    How can I run?
[19:48] ---
    Idiot! If you do this, then you'll...
[19:51] ---
    I met your father before.
[19:54] ---
    Adults always say whatever they please.
[19:57] ---
    But we're also alive,
    worrying and thinking.
[20:05] ---
    You can think about
    the meaning of life later.
[20:09] ---
    I want us to go back to the school together.
[20:11] ---
    That's the reason I came here.
[20:15] ---
    I see. Kujo...
[20:17] ---
    Because you found me...
[20:20] ---
    Thanks to that, I...
[20:23] ---
    ...I won't be alone.
[20:26] ---
    I can know love.
[20:27] ---
    I could return to being something soft.
[20:34] ---
    Would you please...?
[20:46] ---
    Would you please protect me?
[20:52] ---
    From now on, too.
[20:57] ---
    Yeah!
[21:13] ---
    Hang on! This way!
[21:39] ---
    Beelzebub's Skull...
[21:41] ---
    The cursed fortress...
[21:44] ---
    The Lord of the Flies.
[21:46] ---
    But...
[21:48] ---
    We are alive.
[21:51] ---
    Thanks to you, Kujo.
[21:58] ---
    That's right. Victorique...
[22:01] ---
    Take this.
[22:03] ---
    This is...
[22:05] ---
    Is this Mama's...?
[22:08] ---
    She sent it with a message.
[22:11] ---
    "Solve the mystery. Show me that
    you have the power to live."
[22:16] ---
    Then she said...
[22:18] ---
    This mother still loves her little daughter.
[22:22] ---
    Even if you don't cry,
    I'll always come running for you.
[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

[23:42] ---
    Because my steady heartbeat tells me so
[23:52] ---
    Until we meet again,
    may my feelings be with you

[24:14] ---
    "Show me that you have the power to live."
[24:17] ---
    Mama... I swear that I will...
[24:19] ---
    Victorique! Keep going! Fight!
[24:22] ---
    Could you be quiet?
