[00:26] ---
    She said we would dig up the grave.
[00:29] ---
    But what...?
[00:34] ---
    What is this?
[00:39] ---
    Her head's been cut off.
[00:43] ---
    What? Her hands...
[00:45] ---
    It seems she's been embalmed.
[00:47] ---
    She died from being stabbed
    through the chest.
[00:49] ---
    Then, after embalming,
    her head was removed.
[00:53] ---
    Why is the head the only part rotting?
[00:55] ---
    Go talk to the gravekeeper.
[00:58] ---
    You think the gravekeeper did it?
[01:01] ---
    I'm telling you to ask the one
    who brought the body here.
[01:05] ---
    I... I knew that.
[01:19] ---
    Hey, what are you doing?
[01:21] ---
    Praise Buddha,
    praise Buddha, praise Buddha...
[01:24] ---
    It's an Oriental curse.
[01:26] ---
    It's a prayer!
[01:42] ---
    It seemed like it had
    been decided long before
[01:48] ---
    It seemed like we knew long ago
[01:54] ---
    As if we followed an invisible line
[02:00] ---
    We were led to each other,
    to an intersecting saison
[02:05] ---
    Like how light and dark
    are two sides of the same coin
[02:11] ---
    I was captivated by mystification
[02:17] ---
    When I turned around toward the voice
    that whispered in my ear
[02:23] ---
    The door had opened before I realized
[02:28] ---
    Like joining a little
    chance with inevitability
[02:34] ---
    Two histoires were set into motion, ah
[02:46] ---
    Continuing on forever
[03:03] ---
    This is...
[03:25] ---
    So that's where you were.
[03:29] ---
    About the body... He said some
    official-looking men in uniforms brought it.
[03:35] ---
    I thought so.
[03:37] ---
    We're going back to the theater.
[03:38] ---
    What do you mean?
[03:41] ---
    It's just about showtime.
[03:43] ---
    "Episode 21"
    "The Holy Night Bell Drives the Hour Onward"
[03:58] ---
    Coco!
[04:01] ---
    In 1887,
[04:03] ---
    Coco Rose came from France to marry
    Rupert de Giret, the King of Saubure.
[04:09] ---
    It's the tale of the cruel destiny
    that governed her life
[04:13] ---
    until her mysterious death in 1914!
[04:19] ---
    I hope Victorique and Mr. Kujo are okay.
[04:24] ---
    We're going to talk here?
[04:26] ---
    I'm to watch the performance
    from the box seats as I explain it.
[04:31] ---
    That's why he invited me, isn't it?
[04:35] ---
    Now...
[04:37] ---
    ...let the curtain rise.
[04:53] ---
    We've been waiting, Coco!
[04:58] ---
    Tomorrow, I give myself to Saubure.
[05:03] ---
    Oh, but will His Majesty love me?
[05:08] ---
    What is the matter?
[05:10] ---
    --I'm so nervous, I can't sleep.
[05:10] ---
    --Kujo.
[05:11] ---
    Do you remember the Leviathan incident?
[05:17] ---
    Of course.
[05:27] ---
    I know...
[05:29] ---
    ...the true face beneath your mask.
[05:35] ---
    What's about to be revealed is another
    story, not written in that memoir.
[05:43] ---
    Another?
[05:46] ---
    So wonderful...
[05:49] ---
    Queen Coco was such a reserved, quiet lady.
[05:53] ---
    Coming to a foreign country
    alone with her maid...
[05:56] ---
    So fearful and alone...
[05:59] ---
    But...
[06:00] ---
    ...she and King Rupert embarked
    on a wonderful love affair!
[06:08] ---
    Rupert, you accepted a girl like me.
[06:12] ---
    And I... I love you, too.
[06:25] ---
    There he is!
[06:27] ---
    The alchemist Leviathan!
[06:30] ---
    The villain who charmed the king
    and tried to tear the lovers apart!
[06:37] ---
    Devil!
[06:38] ---
    Stay away from Queen Coco!
[06:40] ---
    That's right! Seize him!
[06:43] ---
    The memoir said it was the queen
    who called for Leviathan...
[06:48] ---
    History is not necessarily truth.
[06:52] ---
    But their love won out!
[07:01] ---
    They killed Leviathan and thought
    that they would finally find happiness.
[07:07] ---
    But poor Queen Coco...
[07:11] ---
    The baby born to them the next year...
[07:15] ---
    It was a difficult birth,
    and the baby quickly died.
[07:20] ---
    Now.
[07:21] ---
    Huh? What's now?
[07:23] ---
    This is when the queen died.
[07:26] ---
    The year of the failed birth was 1900.
[07:29] ---
    She was murdered in 1914.
[07:32] ---
    Honestly, these careless mistakes
    of yours embarrass me, my little sister.
[07:37] ---
    Shut up, pointy.
[07:39] ---
    What was that?!
[07:41] ---
    This is where the story splits in two.
[07:44] ---
    The false story that you and
    the people of Saubure have been fed,
[07:48] ---
    and the hidden true story.
[07:51] ---
    Truth and falsehood?
[07:53] ---
    At this point, Coco had already been killed.
[07:56] ---
    It was likely a crime of passion.
[08:00] ---
    But the crime was covered up.
[08:03] ---
    And then, the search for the
    queen's replacement began.
[08:07] ---
    Replacement?
[08:10] ---
    The private secretary?
[08:12] ---
    The requirements were
    blonde hair and blue eyes,
[08:15] ---
    just like the queen!
[08:17] ---
    Yes.
[08:20] ---
    The missing Nicole Lulu
[08:22] ---
    was made the replacement
    for the dead Coco Rose.
[08:28] ---
    Oh, how wonderful!
[08:31] ---
    Queen Coco in the country house
[08:33] ---
    was like a different person,
    so cheerful and energetic...
[08:37] ---
    I guess she wasn't cut out
    for life in the palace.
[08:40] ---
    That was natural, because
    she was a different person.
[08:43] ---
    The rumors that she used
    a magic stone to go out into the city
[08:46] ---
    were likely born
    from Nicole's actions, too.
[08:51] ---
    To those who knew the real Coco,
    it seemed like it was magic.
[08:56] ---
    To those who knew Nicole,
[08:57] ---
    it seemed like she had become
    a mistress to a noble.
[09:02] ---
    Then, in 1914...
[09:05] ---
    At last, the moment of destiny...
[09:08] ---
    A messenger from France came,
    asking to see the queen.
[09:14] ---
    I can go to the palace...
[09:16] ---
    I can see the king again!
[09:20] ---
    Anyone who knew her from the old days
    would expose her as a replacement.
[09:25] ---
    Coco!
[09:26] ---
    Don't go!
[09:26] ---
    You can't go!
[09:29] ---
    Don't do it, Coco!
[09:32] ---
    I don't want to watch! But...
[10:07] ---
    What's happening on this stage
    is what happened in reality.
[10:13] ---
    The second queen, Nicole Lulu,
    was beheaded.
[10:19] ---
    The one that appeared
    at the country house...
[10:23] ---
    ...was the head of the real Coco Rose,
[10:27] ---
    which had been preserved, just in case.
[10:37] ---
    But they knew that if it was investigated,
    the switch would be revealed in time.
[10:42] ---
    And so...
[10:53] ---
    The severed head of Nicole
[10:56] ---
    was placed in Nicole's grave,
    where Coco had been laid to rest.
[10:59] ---
    And it's likely that
    the burned head of Coco
[11:03] ---
    was entombed in the queen's grave,
    with Nicole's body.
[11:19] ---
    This is the truth of the murder of Coco Rose.
[11:22] ---
    So who was the killer?
[11:24] ---
    How was Nicole's severed head
    carried outside?
[11:30] ---
    I don't know.
[11:34] ---
    Impossible!
[11:35] ---
    There's nothing a Gray Wolf doesn't know!
[11:38] ---
    I don't have enough fragments.
    Too much time has passed.
[11:45] ---
    I will tell Father... that is,
    the Marquis, your judgment.
[11:51] ---
    You men remain here.
[11:52] ---
    Sir.
[12:14] ---
    I'm so glad I came!
[12:17] ---
    You were here!
[12:19] ---
    Cécile, what are you doing here?
[12:21] ---
    I could ask you the same question!
    Why didn't you invite me?
[12:24] ---
    Huh? But you came, too!
[12:26] ---
    Did not!
[12:28] ---
    You came on a bike, right?
    I came in a trunk!
[12:31] ---
    In a trunk, you hear me?!
[12:34] ---
    Huh? A trunk?
[12:36] ---
    You traitor!
[12:51] ---
    I guess there are mysteries
    even you can't solve, huh, Victorique?
[12:54] ---
    That hurt! What was that for?
[13:06] ---
    I realized you were listening...
[13:10] ---
    ...Jupiter Roger.
[13:13] ---
    Jupiter Roger...
[13:15] ---
    Then this is the chairman
    of the Academy of Sciences?
[13:25] ---
    And he's a Gray Wolf, too.
[13:28] ---
    How did you know it was me?
[13:31] ---
    The Ministry of the Occult put on
    this play to catch his attention.
[13:35] ---
    I knew he would come.
[13:37] ---
    And that, naturally, you would be with him.
[13:41] ---
    I see. It makes sense.
[13:44] ---
    And...
[13:45] ---
    ...I knew you would try to contact me
    to confirm my possession of a certain item.
[13:50] ---
    A certain item?
[13:51] ---
    So you noticed it?
[13:54] ---
    What are you guys talking about?
[13:57] ---
    His weakness, placed
    inside the memento box.
[14:01] ---
    Weakness?
[14:04] ---
    What was inside that box?
[14:08] ---
    The trump card is still...
[14:10] ---
    ...in my hands.
[14:13] ---
    You wanted to ask about
    Coco Rose's murder too, didn't you?
[14:17] ---
    Are you saying you've
    solved the whole mystery?
[14:21] ---
    At Nicole Lulu's grave,
    I acquired a certain item...
[14:26] ---
    Coco Rose's will.
[14:29] ---
    Huh? You mean that paper?
[14:32] ---
    I have already hidden
    it in a certain place...
[14:35] ---
    ...to ensure our safety.
[14:39] ---
    This is what the will said:
[14:42] ---
    "My beloved magician,
[14:44] ---
    God has struck us down for our sin.
[14:48] ---
    I have given birth to a devil child.
[14:51] ---
    I will likely pay for it with my life."
[14:56] ---
    What does it mean?
[15:01] ---
    Coco Rose...
[15:02] ---
    ...gave birth to the
    alchemist Leviathan's child.
[15:07] ---
    Leviathan was African.
[15:13] ---
    Naturally, the child was...
[15:25] ---
    The one who killed her saw that.
[15:30] ---
    And in a moment of passion...
[15:36] ---
    W-Wait a minute!
[15:38] ---
    The person who saw the queen's child...
[15:40] ---
    Could it be...?
[15:44] ---
    But...
[15:45] ---
    ...someone came forth to aid him,
[15:48] ---
    and promised to bury the crime in darkness.
[15:53] ---
    He found a double for Coco
[15:56] ---
    and wrote this ridiculous scenario.
[16:01] ---
    The only problem was that
    there was only one entrance to the room.
[16:06] ---
    And he was seen going in and out.
[16:09] ---
    But the fact that he wasn't
    carrying anything...
[16:13] ---
    He was wearing a large hat.
[16:22] ---
    Very large...
[16:32] ---
    But he was merely playing his role.
[16:36] ---
    The one who wrote the script
    and had him play the fool... was...
[16:41] ---
    If the truth were revealed,
    the country would fall into chaos.
[16:44] ---
    Knowing that, he decided to hide it.
[16:47] ---
    Whoever did it, that is.
[16:51] ---
    The gears in your brain are turning
    as quickly as ever, I see.
[16:55] ---
    I'll tell you that I'm impressed.
[16:58] ---
    Oh, Roger. Is that where you were?
[17:02] ---
    I've been searching.
[17:03] ---
    Do forgive me.
[17:06] ---
    Has something happened?
[17:07] ---
    No. Let's go home.
[17:11] ---
    Wait.
[17:15] ---
    Can I help you?
[17:17] ---
    Did you enjoy the performance?
[17:22] ---
    Coco...
[17:25] ---
    The queen...
[17:28] ---
    She really did love the king, didn't she?
[17:32] ---
    Because her death protected
    their pure, eternal love.
[17:47] ---
    Give my best to your father.
[17:52] ---
    It said it didn't know
    who the culprit was, did it?
[17:57] ---
    Return it to school.
[18:00] ---
    It doesn't matter. The ritual is complete.
[18:08] ---
    What of His Majesty and Jupiter Roger?
[18:10] ---
    They returned home.
[18:13] ---
    Gray Wolf...
[18:14] ---
    Le Monstre Charmant.
[18:19] ---
    It was a fine closing curtain!
[18:44] ---
    That's right. Miss Cécile...
[18:46] ---
    I hope she's okay.
[18:48] ---
    No!
[19:03] ---
    By the way, what were
    you doing in Saubrème?
[19:07] ---
    You said you came here with Sophie.
[19:10] ---
    Oh, well...
[19:12] ---
    It was actually... well...
[19:15] ---
    Ow!
[19:16] ---
    What was that for?
[19:38] ---
    I really am sorry.
[19:40] ---
    It's fine.
[19:41] ---
    Were you out in town?
[19:43] ---
    We came to see The Blue Rose of Saubure,
    the play about Coco Rose.
[19:47] ---
    I see.
[19:49] ---
    Are you students at Marguerite Academy?
[19:51] ---
    Yes.
[19:52] ---
    You seem very close.
[19:57] ---
    Marguerite Academy...
[20:00] ---
    I hear the clock tower's gone.
[20:03] ---
    Does it make you feel lonely?
[20:05] ---
    Why?
[20:06] ---
    It's full of your memories
    of my father, isn't it?
[20:09] ---
    You were always
    looking up at the clock tower...
[20:13] ---
    ...and thinking of my father.
[20:15] ---
    I have lots of memories right here.
[20:18] ---
    And I have you.
[20:22] ---
    The life we have now is more
    important to me than anything.
[20:29] ---
    In this incident, two people went missing.
[20:34] ---
    The child, who should have been born,
    and the maid she brought from France.
[20:39] ---
    They say she, too,
    looked a great deal like Coco.
[20:42] ---
    She was there as a body double, but perhaps
    they were simply very close. I don't know.
[20:47] ---
    But just before she was killed...
[20:49] ---
    ...she switched places with her.
[20:56] ---
    The one killed in the first murder
    was the maid who took her place.
[21:01] ---
    Coco lived, along with her son.
[21:06] ---
    This is the other story
    that wasn't written in the memoir.
[21:13] ---
    Coco Rose's peaceful, quiet life.
[21:22] ---
    We're back, huh?
[21:23] ---
    Yes. Back to days of reading.
[21:29] ---
    You always say it's boring.
[21:30] ---
    Yes, it is boring.
[21:33] ---
    But...
[21:35] ---
    ...I prefer it to seeing you put in danger.
[21:52] ---
    Cordelia, what are you thinking about?
[21:55] ---
    Your beloved Victorique?
[21:57] ---
    Or my hated Victorique?
[22:37] ---
    What's wrong?
[22:42] ---
    Mama...
[22:44] ---
    Whenever, wherever,
    let us start a new journey
[23:05] ---
    I awakened a soul that was almost lost,
    confide in you
[23:14] ---
    Holding tight to the days we spent together
[23:24] ---
    Whenever, wherever,
    we draw close to each other
[23:33] ---
    There is nothing to fear,
    we will split the darkness between us
[23:43] ---
    Because my steady heartbeat tells me so
[23:53] ---
    Until we meet again,
    may my feelings be with you
[24:15] ---
    Miracles happen on Christmas.
[24:17] ---
    The hated Reaper and the Gray Wolf,
[24:21] ---
    on that night, they are equals.
[24:24] ---
    Here, Victorique! It's starting!
[24:26] ---
    "Next Episode" "A Christmas Carol
    Hangs Happiness by the Window"
[24:26] ---
    Hurry!
[24:28] ---
    Okay.
