[00:20] ---
    Now, you two. Move your hands
    just like I instructed you.
[00:31] ---
    This was the trick behind
    the murder of Simon Hunt.
[00:35] ---
    It's known as a slipknot.
[00:37] ---
    It's used by escape artists.
[00:41] ---
    The nun, Morella, used it
    to escape from the rope,
[00:45] ---
    and picked up the dagger...
[00:48] ---
    Is this true, my dear?
[00:50] ---
    But that barely qualifies as chaos.
[00:53] ---
    What I really need to reconstruct is...
[00:57] ---
    A...
[00:58] ---
    A?
[00:58] ---
    A...
[01:00] ---
    Achoo!
[01:02] ---
    Are you okay?
[01:09] ---
    Thanks for saving me before.
[01:11] ---
    You were on the train
    coming down here too, weren't you?
[01:20] ---
    This one's free.
[01:21] ---
    Oh, no, I...
[01:24] ---
    Don't worry.
[01:26] ---
    Sorry, but could we join you?
[01:45] ---
    It seemed like it had
    been decided long before
[01:51] ---
    It seemed like we knew long ago
[01:57] ---
    As if we followed an invisible line
[02:03] ---
    We were led to each other,
    to an intersecting saison
[02:08] ---
    Like how light and dark
    are two sides of the same coin
[02:14] ---
    I was captivated by mystification
[02:20] ---
    When I turned around toward the voice
    that whispered in my ear
[02:26] ---
    The door had opened before I realized
[02:31] ---
    Like joining a little
    chance with inevitability
[02:37] ---
    Two histoires were set into motion, ah
[02:49] ---
    Continuing on forever
[03:02] ---
    You're our saviors!
    Every other car was full.
[03:07] ---
    Um, what are you two...?
[03:10] ---
    I was at a loss looking for a place to sit,
[03:12] ---
    so he called to me out in the hall.
[03:15] ---
    Well, let's have some introductions.
[03:18] ---
    Clearly, some kind of fate
    brought us here to sit together.
[03:21] ---
    My dear...
[03:23] ---
    What were you going to that convent for?
[03:27] ---
    I'm Orphan.
[03:30] ---
    I don't know my own birthday.
[03:32] ---
    But that means I'll be wandering lost
    when I travel to the afterlife.
[03:38] ---
    So I joined the Phantasmagoria,
    hoping I might learn it.
[03:43] ---
    Well? What about you, ma'am?
[03:47] ---
    Well, then, I'm Scarecrow.
[03:49] ---
    I typically stand in farms in the country,
    chasing off nasty birds.
[03:54] ---
    Um... What kind of game is this?
[03:58] ---
    Interesting!
[03:59] ---
    Then for now, call me Knight.
[04:02] ---
    I run across the fields on my trusty steed,
    cutting down evil!
[04:08] ---
    And you?
[04:10] ---
    Lumberjack, I suppose.
[04:11] ---
    I couldn't do anything so noble.
[04:14] ---
    Cutting down trees is about all I can manage.
[04:18] ---
    A cowardly rich kid, eh?
[04:20] ---
    And you two?
[04:22] ---
    Um...
[04:23] ---
    A proud Gray Wolf from the past,
    and her absent-minded retainer.
[04:28] ---
    Wait a minute!
[04:30] ---
    I'm not absent-minded at--
[04:32] ---
    Ow!
[04:35] ---
    The Masquerade is a fitting name.
[04:38] ---
    That's truly what's about to unfold.
[04:41] ---
    "Episode 18"
    "The Obsidian Train Carries Numerous Lies"
[04:46] ---
    Do you really believe it?
[04:48] ---
    That the cub can steal back that box?
[04:51] ---
    That's the Gray Wolves' trump card.
[04:55] ---
    I'm sure it will protect her
    from the coming storm.
[04:59] ---
    That's why you want to entrust it to her?
[05:01] ---
    But what will happen to us then?
[05:04] ---
    After we came all this way...
[05:06] ---
    Don't worry. I have other plans.
[05:11] ---
    My daughter... Solve the mystery.
[05:14] ---
    Then show me that you
    have the power to live.
[05:19] ---
    "Missing Miss Lesglant still not found."
[05:24] ---
    Something like that happened in Saubure?
[05:26] ---
    Hey, Victorique.
[05:27] ---
    What were you trying to say before?
[05:31] ---
    Kujo, do you know what a memento box is?
[05:36] ---
    No.
[05:37] ---
    It's a custom passed down
    in certain parts of Europe.
[05:42] ---
    One places items that mark
    turning points in their life in a small box.
[05:47] ---
    When the owner dies, the box
    is buried in the coffin with them.
[05:51] ---
    In other words, it's like
    a symbol of their life?
[05:54] ---
    Yes. The box at Beelzebub's Skull
[05:57] ---
    likely contains a person's
    life within it, as well.
[06:01] ---
    And Mama was trying to get that box.
[06:08] ---
    The memento box...
[06:09] ---
    I must find out what it truly is.
[06:21] ---
    That scared me!
[06:23] ---
    K-K-K-K...
[06:26] ---
    K-Kujo!
[06:28] ---
    You're heavy!
[06:29] ---
    S-Sorry!
[06:31] ---
    You! I'll remember this later!
[06:38] ---
    You two... You'll catch
    cold in those wet clothes.
[06:42] ---
    I'll speak to a crewman and
    see if I can borrow something.
[06:46] ---
    Oh, in that case, I'll...
[06:48] ---
    It's gone!
[06:52] ---
    What's wrong?
[06:55] ---
    Hey, Mr. Knight...
[06:56] ---
    I've caught a chill from the night air.
[06:59] ---
    Could you ask her to
    bring me something as well?
[07:03] ---
    Understood.
[07:04] ---
    Excuse me...
[07:06] ---
    Stay here, kiddo.
[07:09] ---
    The only one who can fulfill
    a princess's request is a knight.
[07:18] ---
    Is that it?
[07:25] ---
    Meeting a lover? In a place like this?
[07:39] ---
    It's very rude for a scarecrow like you
    to go after someone else's harvest.
[07:44] ---
    What you took from my ally...
    give it back, now!
[07:52] ---
    Oh, really?
[07:56] ---
    Those two have been gone awhile...
[08:03] ---
    I'm sorry.
[08:05] ---
    For listening in on what you said before.
[08:08] ---
    It's fine.
[08:10] ---
    I hope you find your birthday.
[08:25] ---
    S-Someone fell off the train!
[08:30] ---
    Wait.
[08:33] ---
    Sorry for the wait.
[08:34] ---
    Here, a change of clothes.
[08:36] ---
    Huh? Um, where's Scarecrow?
[08:39] ---
    She ran into someone she knew
    and moved to their compartment.
[08:42] ---
    She sent her regards.
[08:44] ---
    But...
[08:46] ---
    I'm going to get changed, Kujo.
[08:54] ---
    What you saw was certainly not an illusion.
[08:57] ---
    Dead or alive,
    someone has left this stage early.
[09:02] ---
    You think--!
[09:03] ---
    You think what I saw was...
[09:05] ---
    Yes, the woman
    who called herself Scarecrow.
[09:09] ---
    Everyone in our compartment
[09:11] ---
    is with the Ministry of the Occult
    or the Academy of Sciences.
[09:16] ---
    It seems we've been mixed up
    in quite the masquerade.
[09:20] ---
    But in a way, we're also lucky.
[09:24] ---
    Within this dance, we're likely to find...
[09:30] ---
    The fact that I can't say for certain is
    because I lack enough fragments of chaos.
[09:35] ---
    Any problems?
[09:38] ---
    No, it just looks so perfect on you!
[09:46] ---
    Perfect on me? Are you suggesting
    I should wait tables?
[09:49] ---
    You've grown high and mighty!
[09:51] ---
    That's not what I was saying!
[09:56] ---
    Brother...
[09:59] ---
    Help...
[10:01] ---
    Wait. I swear, I will...
[10:05] ---
    Help...
[10:08] ---
    A radio?
[10:10] ---
    Mr. Lumberjack, who were you talking to?
[10:14] ---
    No one.
[10:17] ---
    Oh, you're all together.
[10:20] ---
    You were late, so we came looking.
[10:22] ---
    What are you doing here?
[10:24] ---
    Well, Mr. Lumberjack?
[10:28] ---
    What do you think of the buffet?
[10:30] ---
    Shall we drink until dawn?
[10:33] ---
    Good idea. But it's on you.
[10:36] ---
    Yes, leave it to me.
[10:41] ---
    We're invited too, aren't we?
[10:44] ---
    O-Of course.
[11:03] ---
    Vodka, please.
[11:15] ---
    A raisin-picking game.
[11:17] ---
    You grab the raisins from the fire
    and eat them quickly,
[11:21] ---
    then you speak your wish.
[11:23] ---
    I'm impressed that you know of it.
[11:25] ---
    So who will take a raisin first?
[11:32] ---
    If you don't mind, I will.
[11:40] ---
    Then I will.
[11:52] ---
    I want to see spring in
    my hometown next year.
[11:55] ---
    I love the beautiful irises.
[11:57] ---
    What does that mean?
[11:59] ---
    I see. Would you betray
    your fellow lumberjacks to do that?
[12:06] ---
    Then I'll go next.
[12:09] ---
    There's no fear of food poisoning
    from these raisins, I suppose?
[12:12] ---
    Of course.
[12:16] ---
    Are you okay?
[12:17] ---
    You should have some water.
[12:19] ---
    I don't need your advice.
[12:25] ---
    Let's see... My wish?
[12:28] ---
    Let me think...
[12:30] ---
    What's wrong?
[12:31] ---
    Nothing.
[12:33] ---
    I hope that you get home safely, too.
[12:36] ---
    What do you mean?
[12:38] ---
    For instance...
[12:43] ---
    No! Don't drink that water!
[12:55] ---
    Are you okay?
[12:58] ---
    Let's drop the act.
[13:00] ---
    You're the one who
    poisoned her, aren't you?
[13:06] ---
    Hey! Are you okay?
[13:11] ---
    Is there a doctor in this car?
[13:15] ---
    Poison?
[13:16] ---
    Don't be ridiculous. You saw it, too.
    I ate raisins from the same bowl.
[13:20] ---
    I drank the water, too!
[13:23] ---
    The poison was in the bottom of the glass.
[13:25] ---
    Slightly frozen...
[13:28] ---
    When you and she drank for the first time,
[13:31] ---
    the poison hadn't mixed into the water yet.
[13:34] ---
    But eventually, the ice began to melt,
    and by the time she drank again...
[13:39] ---
    You bastard!
[13:56] ---
    Enough. You don't look right
    holding a gun, Mr. Lesglant.
[14:01] ---
    How do you know my name?
[14:03] ---
    Answer me.
[14:04] ---
    This foolish masquerade party...
    what is it revolving around?
[14:11] ---
    Damned Ministry of the Occult...
[14:21] ---
    This box...
[14:22] ---
    Even if I die, I won't give it up!
[14:32] ---
    Box? Then it's as I thought...
[14:36] ---
    You! Don't go crazy!
    If you move in your condition...
[14:39] ---
    It's over. Everyone on this
    train is dead anyway.
[14:45] ---
    The break in our regular contact
[14:48] ---
    was probably our allies
    arranging to derail this train.
[14:53] ---
    Because it would be better
    to bury the box with this train
[14:56] ---
    than to let the Ministry
    of the Occult get it.
[15:02] ---
    You all stay where you are!
[15:06] ---
    G-Go to the engine!
[15:08] ---
    Stop it!
[15:10] ---
    But...
[15:13] ---
    That's right.
[15:20] ---
    Victorique! Wait... there?
[15:23] ---
    I'm going, too.
[15:26] ---
    But...
[15:30] ---
    Fine.
[15:42] ---
    Let's hurry.
[15:43] ---
    Hold on tight.
[15:47] ---
    You won't go!
[15:55] ---
    He's after us!
[16:04] ---
    Kujo!
[16:12] ---
    It seems the knight has been
    thrown off his steed.
[16:26] ---
    Hang in there!
[16:31] ---
    Don't touch... me...
[16:35] ---
    I won't... let anyone... have the box...
[16:39] ---
    Who cares about that?
[16:41] ---
    Your life is more important!
[16:50] ---
    Iron bridge...
[16:54] ---
    Explo...
[16:58] ---
    Hey...
[17:00] ---
    Hey!
[17:05] ---
    I'm scared.
[17:06] ---
    Without a birthday...
[17:10] ---
    Mother...
[17:27] ---
    Still not possible at this range.
[17:30] ---
    What isn't?
[17:31] ---
    Look at that.
[17:36] ---
    That's...
[17:37] ---
    It must be a detonator.
[17:39] ---
    To derail the train.
[17:48] ---
    Vic--
[17:56] ---
    One bullet left.
[17:58] ---
    Give it to me. The next one will hit.
[18:00] ---
    No, you can't. I'll do it.
[18:03] ---
    Mama told me to show
    her my power to live.
[18:07] ---
    So I will do it with my own hands.
[18:13] ---
    Fine.
[18:15] ---
    But I'll do it, too.
[18:17] ---
    Yes. Lend me your power.
[18:19] ---
    A lady and her vassal are one
    in mind and body, after all.
[18:22] ---
    You know, you're really...
[18:32] ---
    Kujo, there is nothing that
    a Gray Wolf cannot do.
[18:36] ---
    Yeah.
[18:37] ---
    Empirically, I know that's merely
    the prattling of foolish savages.
[18:40] ---
    I have never fired a gun before,
[18:43] ---
    but I am naturally familiar
    with the principles.
[18:49] ---
    Don't worry. You can do it.
[18:54] ---
    We'll break through this storm
    and go home, together.
[18:58] ---
    To our Saint Marguerite Academy.
[19:00] ---
    Yes.
[19:04] ---
    Now!
[19:23] ---
    Look at that!
[19:26] ---
    See? I can do it!
[19:27] ---
    You're right. You did it.
[19:30] ---
    But what do we do now?
[19:32] ---
    Just let it go.
    There's no more coal to burn.
[19:35] ---
    It'll stop on its own, eventually.
[19:55] ---
    The brother of the missing Miss Lesglant...
[19:59] ---
    That's who you really are.
[20:03] ---
    The Ministry of the Occult kidnapped
    your sister to hold her hostage
[20:07] ---
    so they could use you as an impromptu spy.
[20:10] ---
    And what they wanted so badly...
[20:15] ---
    ...was this memento box.
[20:16] ---
    Inside it are the fragments
    of a certain man's life.
[20:27] ---
    He was born.
[20:29] ---
    This is a piece of his umbilical cord.
[20:35] ---
    He grew. This is his self-portrait.
[20:39] ---
    He fell in love. The perfume
    of a girl he loved.
[20:42] ---
    And...
[20:45] ---
    ...he failed.
[20:46] ---
    "I'll never look back."
[20:48] ---
    It's just one sentence...
[20:51] ---
    This is all it contains.
[20:53] ---
    And this memento box is still incomplete.
[20:57] ---
    In other words, the owner
    of this box is still alive.
[21:02] ---
    Because...
[21:03] ---
    ...this box wasn't buried in a grave.
[21:05] ---
    It was hidden beneath the floor
    in a certain house.
[21:08] ---
    In that nameless village.
[21:10] ---
    In the place where
    we found my mother's picture.
[21:13] ---
    Um... In other words, the box's owner
    was just like Cordelia?
[21:19] ---
    His name was...
[21:23] ---
    "Jupiter Roger, 7 years old"?
    "In Saillune"?
[21:27] ---
    Indeed.
[21:28] ---
    Jupiter Roger, chairman of
    the Academy of Sciences,
[21:31] ---
    was, of all things, a Gray Wolf born in that
    nameless village full of old traditions.
[21:38] ---
    This is an important truth that
    would rock the balance of power.
[21:42] ---
    That is why the Ministry of the Occult...
[21:44] ---
    They tried to steal this box?
[21:46] ---
    And the Academy...
    They risked their life to stop them?
[21:52] ---
    This ends my reconstruction.
[21:55] ---
    Take it.
[21:59] ---
    I don't care how the
    Ministry of the Occult uses it.
[22:02] ---
    But if you have that box,
    you can save your sister, right?
[22:08] ---
    Hey, Victorique! W-Wait!
[22:19] ---
    Thank you.
[22:23] ---
    But are you sure about this?
    If the Marquis de Blois gets that...
[22:28] ---
    Don't worry.
[22:30] ---
    I solved the mystery my mama gave me.
[22:36] ---
    The trump card is still...
[22:40] ---
    ...in my hands.
[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] ---
    ♪ Got no tarts! Got no macarons! ♪
[24:19] ---
    Hey, you have both tarts and macarons.
[24:22] ---
    Here you are.
[24:23] ---
    No, those were song lyrics...
[24:25] ---
    Never mind.
