[00:42] ---
    It seemed like it had been decided long before
[00:48] ---
    It seemed like we knew long ago
[00:54] ---
    As if we followed an invisible line
[01:00] ---
    We were led to each other,
    to an intersecting saison
[01:05] ---
    Like how light and dark
    are two sides of the same coin
[01:11] ---
    I was captivated by mystification
[01:17] ---
    When I turned around toward the voice
    that whispered in my ear
[01:23] ---
    The door had opened before I realized
[01:28] ---
    Like joining a little chance with inevitability
[01:34] ---
    Two histoires were set into motion, ah
[01:46] ---
    Continuing on forever
[02:13] ---
    M-Maurice...
[02:20] ---
    Julie!
[02:22] ---
    I found one, too.
[02:24] ---
    It was hidden in the wall lamp.
[02:32] ---
    Throw yours away, too.
[02:35] ---
    We're jumping at shadows as it is.
[02:38] ---
    Or do you have a reason to carry a weapon?
[02:46] ---
    S-Sorry...
[02:54] ---
    Thank you.
[02:55] ---
    Now, let's go.
[02:57] ---
    R-Right.

    Episode 3
    The Hares Trade a Vow in the Morning Light
[03:09] ---
    Kujo...
[03:10] ---
    You shouted something about being
    the third son of a soldier.
[03:14] ---
    Does being a third son
    mean something in your country?
[03:17] ---
    Just to let you know, I may be the
    third son, but I get the best grades.
[03:22] ---
    Do good grades let a third son be
    promoted to first son in your country?
[03:27] ---
    Of course not!
[03:30] ---
    Yeah... I'm just being obstinate.
[03:32] ---
    My brothers get all the
    preferential treatment.
[03:35] ---
    So in order to compete, I studied like crazy.
[03:39] ---
    Obstinate?
[03:42] ---
    Kujo, you're not just a good person,
    you're very honest.
[03:50] ---
    Ned?!
[03:56] ---
    Ned?
[04:09] ---
    It's no use. There's no pulse.
[04:12] ---
    It's just... the same...
[04:15] ---
    Come here, Kujo.
[04:18] ---
    Wait a minute.
[04:20] ---
    I need to figure out what killed Ned.
[04:22] ---
    Just come, Kujo.
[04:25] ---
    Victorique, now is not the time.
[04:27] ---
    Stop acting so selfish!
[04:30] ---
    I'm scared.
[04:33] ---
    Please, be with me.
[04:37] ---
    I'm begging you, Kujo.
[04:40] ---
    I thought so.
    She's been afraid this whole time.
[04:48] ---
    At this rate, we'll be killed.
[04:51] ---
    What's wrong?
[04:53] ---
    I'll explain later.
[04:55] ---
    Run!
[05:10] ---
    Hide in a nearby room.
[05:11] ---
    Then look for a weapon!
[05:27] ---
    He's coming.
[05:33] ---
    H-Hey, Victori--
[06:06] ---
    I need to hunt hares.
[06:09] ---
    Because...
[06:11] ---
    ...I am a hunting dog!
[06:20] ---
    Victorique!
[06:28] ---
    We have to run!
[06:29] ---
    Wait! That's...
[06:44] ---
    Let's go!
[07:00] ---
    That's the telegraph room.
[07:03] ---
    Here, take it.
[07:08] ---
    Thanks.
[07:10] ---
    It's important to you, isn't it?
[07:19] ---
    Kujo...
[07:22] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[07:24] ---
    Hey, Victorique.
[07:26] ---
    How did you know that Ned wasn't dead?
[07:29] ---
    That's right. He definitely didn't
    have a pulse back then, either.
[07:34] ---
    Back then?
[07:36] ---
    Oh, nothing.
[07:39] ---
    A tennis ball.
[07:41] ---
    He was playing with a
    tennis ball the whole time.
[07:44] ---
    If he pressed it hard against his armpit,
    it would stop his pulse temporarily.
[07:50] ---
    Of course.
[07:51] ---
    You knew that from the start.
    That's why you called him over, right?
[07:55] ---
    That "I'm scared, be with me" thing.
[07:58] ---
    I didn't really mean that.
[08:00] ---
    It was the only way I could get
    this third son of a soldier to move.
[08:07] ---
    It kind of annoys me when you call me that.
[08:11] ---
    But you are a third son, right?
[08:13] ---
    Yeah, but...
[08:30] ---
    Victorique, you get inside.
[08:32] ---
    Call for help with the telegraph.
[08:34] ---
    But Kujo, you...
[08:36] ---
    I brought you here.
[08:39] ---
    I'm responsible for getting you out--
[08:40] ---
    No!
[08:41] ---
    I'm the one who wanted to come here.
[08:44] ---
    I found the invitation and made you--
[08:47] ---
    If I don't save you, then as the
    third son of an imperial soldier...
[08:53] ---
    No...
[08:55] ---
    It's not that, it's just...
[08:57] ---
    I just want to save you!
[09:01] ---
    Kujo...
[09:05] ---
    Kujo! Please, stay with me!
[09:08] ---
    Come home with me!
[09:10] ---
    I don't want to be alone!
[09:12] ---
    Kujo!
[09:33] ---
    It's just like that day...
[09:35] ---
    I'm down...
[09:37] ---
    I can't do anything...
[09:39] ---
    But the difference is...
[09:43] ---
    ...if I go down here, it's all over.
[09:47] ---
    Not just my life...
[09:50] ---
    ...but Victorique's, too.
[10:36] ---
    Are you okay, boy?
[10:38] ---
    Victorique!
[10:53] ---
    Kujo...
[10:59] ---
    You seem to be doing well.
[11:24] ---
    What are you looking at?
[11:29] ---
    I don't hate beautiful things.
[11:47] ---
    My lady, your hand.
[11:50] ---
    Who are you?
[11:51] ---
    The famous inspector.
[11:59] ---
    How did you know...
[12:01] ---
    ...that I was the one behind it all?
[12:04] ---
    You lied.
[12:07] ---
    When you introduced yourself,
    you said you were a coal heiress.
[12:10] ---
    How did you know that was a lie?
[12:13] ---
    She has a habit.
[12:19] ---
    She walks a little ways, then turns.
[12:23] ---
    Right?
[12:24] ---
    So what?
[12:25] ---
    Those aren't the habits of someone
    raised in a large estate,
[12:29] ---
    but in a place where you can't take
    five steps without hitting a wall.
[12:35] ---
    A solitary confinement cell in a prison...
[12:38] ---
    A hospital room...
[12:39] ---
    A mansion's attic room...
[12:44] ---
    I'm just listing common situations.
    I meant nothing deeper by it.
[12:47] ---
    What do you mean?
[12:49] ---
    Let me continue.
[12:50] ---
    There was another important clue.
[12:52] ---
    The weapon you used to shoot Maurice,
[12:54] ---
    you had that from the start.
[12:59] ---
    Kujo, do you remember when
    she hit you with it in the lounge?
[13:04] ---
    Yeah. It really hurt.
[13:07] ---
    But...
[13:09] ---
    When I picked up the bag,
    it was as light as a feather.
[13:21] ---
    We were all orphans.
[13:24] ---
    Ten years ago, we were placed in
    black carriages with bars on the windows.
[13:30] ---
    We lost consciousness and
    awoke on that accursed ship.
[13:35] ---
    We were all from different countries,
    so communication was shaky,
[13:39] ---
    but since we came from similar circumstances,
    we shared a common sympathy.
[13:43] ---
    And yet...
[13:47] ---
    Hey...
[13:48] ---
    Someone killed him.
[13:50] ---
    But who?
[13:52] ---
    We're the only ones on this ship.
[13:55] ---
    One of us must have done it!
[13:59] ---
    His death was the start.
[14:01] ---
    We began to suspect each other.
[14:04] ---
    And then...
[14:06] ---
    ...we killed each other.
[14:14] ---
    And yet...
[14:16] ---
    You're bleeding.
[14:18] ---
    Hang on. I'll...
[14:22] ---
    You're giving that to me?
[14:25] ---
    But that's important to you, isn't it?
[14:30] ---
    In the middle of that,
    I managed to make a friend.
[14:40] ---
    I won't leave you behind.
[14:41] ---
    Let's go together.
[14:42] ---
    We'll get out of here together.
[14:46] ---
    We kept each other from breaking down,
    and finally made it.
[14:51] ---
    There it is! The telegraph room!
[14:53] ---
    We'll be safe soon, okay?
[15:04] ---
    Welcome, my brave little hares!
[15:14] ---
    Where are our allies?
[15:16] ---
    Speak your nationalities!
[15:17] ---
    Which hares lived?
[15:19] ---
    France and Italy,
[15:20] ---
    America,
[15:22] ---
    and Saubure.
[15:24] ---
    You're...
[15:25] ---
    Oh, he's English.
[15:27] ---
    And a hunting dog.
[15:29] ---
    He was a great help to us.
[15:32] ---
    His job was to confuse the hares
    and drive them the way we wanted.
[15:39] ---
    A young man will soon die.
[15:42] ---
    That will be the start of it all.
[15:45] ---
    The world will turn to stone,
    and down it shall fall.
[15:50] ---
    Madame Roxane...
[15:53] ---
    This concludes the running of the hares!
[15:56] ---
    Let us now sink the box
    and act as it has foretold!
[16:01] ---
    Then let the hares grow fat!
[16:07] ---
    Running of the hares?
[16:09] ---
    I've deduced that it was a form
    of large-scale fortune-telling.
[16:13] ---
    Fortune?
[16:17] ---
    Roxane kept hares as
    a means of fortune-telling.
[16:22] ---
    She would set dogs loose in their midst,
[16:24] ---
    and predict the future based
    on which hares survived.
[16:28] ---
    And we were the hares?
[16:31] ---
    Yes. There are many fragments
    of chaos to work with.
[16:35] ---
    Eleven orphans of different
    nationalities brought together...
[16:39] ---
    Roxane's proclamation...
[16:42] ---
    And...
[16:43] ---
    ...the fact that it happened
    in spring ten years ago.
[16:48] ---
    Ten years ago...
[16:49] ---
    That was the Sarajevo incident
    that lead to the Great War.
[16:53] ---
    But that's irrelevant, right?
[16:55] ---
    No, that's the answer.
[16:59] ---
    The end of June, 1914.
[17:01] ---
    The Crown Prince of Austria
    was assassinated in Sarajevo.
[17:06] ---
    When that started the war,
[17:09] ---
    politicians used fortune-tellers
    to try to foretell the state of the world.
[17:15] ---
    They prepared a great stage...
    a box called the Queen Berry...
[17:20] ---
    ...and then released hares
    to represent each country.
[17:23] ---
    It can't be!
[17:25] ---
    Hey, Kujo, the earnest
    but self-deprecating student,
[17:28] ---
    tell me how the war ended.
[17:30] ---
    Hey, now...
[17:31] ---
    Well, the Allies won the Great War.
[17:36] ---
    And they were?
[17:38] ---
    Let's see...
[17:39] ---
    France and Italy,
[17:40] ---
    England, America,
[17:42] ---
    and Saubure.
[17:44] ---
    Their prediction came true.
[17:47] ---
    They used us... to make political decisions?
[17:58] ---
    I never recovered from the trauma.
[18:02] ---
    I spent a long time in a sanatorium.
[18:05] ---
    In a tiny room.
[18:07] ---
    Just as you said...
[18:08] ---
    ...I could only take five steps in a row.
[18:11] ---
    We were all given large sums of money.
[18:15] ---
    To let us grow fat, as she said.
[18:18] ---
    When I was released, I used that money
    to build the Queen Berry.
[18:22] ---
    A new box...
[18:26] ---
    Hey, little detective...
[18:28] ---
    When did you realize I was the culprit?
[18:31] ---
    I first suspected you
    when we woke up in the lounge.
[18:36] ---
    You made a lot of noise
    about the door being locked,
[18:39] ---
    but that was a lie.
[18:41] ---
    You confined the guests to that room,
    showed them the threat,
[18:44] ---
    to make it clear what
    kind of ritual this was.
[18:48] ---
    I see.
[18:51] ---
    I see why you held that boy's hand now.
[18:56] ---
    Because he spoke to me like a friend,
    not realizing I was behind it all.
[19:01] ---
    That's right, isn't it?
[19:04] ---
    Victorique.
[19:06] ---
    All right. It's time.
[19:21] ---
    Is that...?
[19:22] ---
    Yes. It seems they caught
    the maid, Roxane's killer.
[19:30] ---
    L-Lee?
[19:42] ---
    I see.
[19:43] ---
    Lee did it, too.
[19:47] ---
    After ten years, she had her revenge.
[19:51] ---
    Lee!
[20:15] ---
    Victorique!
[20:20] ---
    Why all the yelling?
[20:25] ---
    Look at this, Victorique!
[20:28] ---
    "Another great achievement
    for Inspector Blois.
[20:31] ---
    He brings a brilliant resolution
    to the Queen Berry affair"!
[20:34] ---
    He only caught the criminal
    because you reported it!
[20:36] ---
    And the explanation he gave
    is exactly the one you gave me!
[20:44] ---
    My big brother is such a snob.
[20:46] ---
    That's right! That inspector is...
[20:49] ---
    Wait a minute.
[20:50] ---
    Victorique, what did you just say?
[20:52] ---
    My big brother is such a snob. Why?
[20:55] ---
    I see... Wait, what?!
[20:59] ---
    Well, we are siblings...
[21:01] ---
    ...but from different mothers.
[21:05] ---
    He's the eldest son of Marquis de Blois.
[21:08] ---
    My mother was his mistress,
    a dangerous person under government watch.
[21:14] ---
    I was raised alone in a small room
    deep in the Blois mansion.
[21:18] ---
    Even though I was eventually
    allowed to come to this school,
[21:21] ---
    I'm not allowed to leave without
    the Marquis de Blois's permission.
[21:28] ---
    I'm a princess in a tower.
[21:31] ---
    Well? It doesn't suit me, does it?
[21:38] ---
    Anyway, the princess is bored.
[21:43] ---
    You must go to the lower world
    and find me a mystery.
[21:48] ---
    That's a rather sudden demand.
[21:51] ---
    I'm so bored! I could just die of boredom!
[21:54] ---
    Kujo!
[21:55] ---
    You have so few friends already.
    Do you really want to lose one?
[22:00] ---
    Friends?
[22:03] ---
    Hey, Victorique.
[22:07] ---
    H-Hey, Victorique!
[22:08] ---
    Did you die? Did you die of boredom?
[22:11] ---
    Hey!
[22:18] ---
    Sh-She's asleep?
[22:23] ---
    The captive Victorique...
[22:25] ---
    The mysterious, mysterious Victorique...
[22:28] ---
    There's so much I don't know about her.
[22:31] ---
    But I know one thing.
[22:34] ---
    Victorique is...
[22:37] ---
    Victorique is...
[22:39] ---
    ...my friend.
[22:42] ---
    Hey, Victorique.
[22:44] ---
    Let's go outside again some time. And then...
[22:48] ---
    ...we'll look at the beautiful light
    that shines on the ocean.
[22:53] ---
    That's a promise.
[22:54] ---
    Huh?!
[23:02] ---
    Loneliness fighting back again
[23:05] ---
    Seems to be like it never ends
[23:09] ---
    Give us hope through the love of
[23:12] ---
    Peaceful shine on me
[23:25] ---
    In the pounding rain that never ceases
[23:28] ---
    I have forgotten how to smile,
    and I suffer as the world passes me by
[23:39] ---
    If in the midst of conflict and deceit
[23:47] ---
    My heart withers
[23:54] ---
    Like a flower floating in turbulent waves
[24:01] ---
    Lead the way and overcome the storm
[24:08] ---
    Like you're stepping firmly on barren earth
[24:16] ---
    Go ahead, you can walk straight forward
[24:33] ---
    The transfer student, Avril, is really nice!
[24:36] ---
    She's so mature!
[24:37] ---
    Kujo.
[24:39] ---
    If you're gonna get turned on,
    could you do it somewhere else?
[24:42] ---
    T-Turned on?!
