[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
[02:00] ---
    Kazuya Kujo!
[02:01] ---
    You're under arrest for murder!
[02:13] ---
    That's a good look for you, Kujo.
[02:17] ---
    No, it isn't!
[02:19] ---
    Really, why drag me out to a place like this?
[02:22] ---
    Victorique! Help me!
[02:27] ---
    Fine. It will relieve my boredom.
[02:30] ---
    Report everything you saw and thought,
[02:32] ---
    with perfect frankness,
    down to the state of your butthole.
[02:36] ---
    I... I don't want to talk about
    what I was thinking...
[02:40] ---
    A gentleman must have
    one or two playful secrets...
[02:43] ---
    If you're a gentleman, then I must be a god.
[02:46] ---
    Go on. Talk!
[02:48] ---
    B-But...
[02:55] ---
    This morning, our dorm mother, Miss Sophie,
    asked me to go out and buy some things.
[02:58] ---
    Episode 4
    The Golden Thread Shreds the Moment
[03:02] ---
    "Five hundred grams of ricotta cheese..."
[03:04] ---
    "One kilogram of ham..."
[03:06] ---
    The women of this country are so demanding.
[03:09] ---
    Sophie, Victorique...
[03:12] ---
    I sure did make friends with a weird girl.
[03:17] ---
    But I might still meet a
    wonderful girl all my own!
[03:22] ---
    Wait, what am I thinking?
[03:25] ---
    But if I could meet a girl like that...
[03:29] ---
    ...I'd love her to be blonde!
[03:31] ---
    That dazzling hair color
    we don't have in my country...
[03:35] ---
    That's right, Victorique is blonde, too.
[04:09] ---
    Then, when I told the inspector...
[04:15] ---
    I started yelling about how it was you
    who solved the Queen Berry case,
[04:19] ---
    and he finally agreed to bring me here!
[04:21] ---
    I have no idea what you're talking about.
[04:23] ---
    Don't you appreciate my kindness
    in specially granting your request?
[04:28] ---
    Besides, it's impossible to
    jump onto a moving motorbike,
[04:31] ---
    and cut off the rider's head.
[04:33] ---
    Thus, it is clear that the deed was done
    after the motorbike stopped.
[04:39] ---
    And you were the only person at the scene!
[04:42] ---
    True, but...
[04:45] ---
    Look at this!
[04:46] ---
    It was wound around a tree on the scene.
[04:49] ---
    It has the blood of the victim on it.
[04:52] ---
    I don't know exactly what you did,
    but you used it somehow, didn't you?
[04:56] ---
    Just confess already,
    you bloodthirsty demon squirrel!
[05:00] ---
    I told you, I didn't do anything!
[05:02] ---
    You can cut off the rider's head
    without getting close to the bike.
[05:07] ---
    Wh-What are you talking about now?
[05:10] ---
    I didn't say it!
[05:12] ---
    What do you mean?
[05:13] ---
    That wire...
[05:16] ---
    If it was strung across the road...
[05:38] ---
    Thanks, Victorique!
[05:39] ---
    I owe you again!
[05:41] ---
    Really, thank you so much!
[05:45] ---
    The true killer will be a blonde girl.
[05:50] ---
    She'll have wounds on her fingers.
[05:52] ---
    You should search the
    surgical hospitals, Grévil.
[05:55] ---
    What?!
[05:57] ---
    W-Wait! Wh-What does that...?!
[06:01] ---
    Hey, what did you mean by that?
[06:04] ---
    It's the result of my cogitation.
[06:06] ---
    That which bubbled forth
    from my wellspring of wisdom.
[06:09] ---
    So...
[06:13] ---
    You leave me no choice.
[06:15] ---
    I'll explain it.
[06:18] ---
    Think about it.
[06:20] ---
    Why did the culprit choose
    such an elaborate method?
[06:24] ---
    I don't know...
[06:25] ---
    Fear of the victim.
[06:28] ---
    The killer must be a woman or a child.
[06:31] ---
    They chose this method because they
    were physically weaker than the victim.
[06:36] ---
    But why the wounds on her fingers?
[06:39] ---
    There was blood on the edges of the wires
    unlikely to be from the victim.
[06:44] ---
    When tying or attempting to remove the wire,
    she likely cut her fingers.
[06:50] ---
    She left it there and ran
    because you were there.
[06:53] ---
    But why a blonde girl?
[06:56] ---
    It was part of your embarrassing daydream.
[06:59] ---
    Humans see things...
    They react to visual stimuli.
[07:03] ---
    Do you understand?
[07:04] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[07:06] ---
    Now, why did your thoughts on the road
    turn unbidden toward dull, lustful daydreams?
[07:13] ---
    D-Don't call it lust!
[07:16] ---
    You likely saw a blonde girl
    out of the corner of your eye.
[07:21] ---
    That's what led to your daydream.
    An unconscious sighting of the culprit.
[07:27] ---
    I saw the culprit? A blonde girl?
[07:32] ---
    But why would she do something like that?
[07:37] ---
    I'm bored again.
[07:40] ---
    I wish you'd brought me
    a more substantial case.
[07:44] ---
    I didn't exactly choose this one!
[07:46] ---
    You'd better provide me
    with ample compensation.
[07:49] ---
    Compensation?
[07:51] ---
    Something that won't bore me.
[07:53] ---
    I don't understand.
[07:55] ---
    After what I just went through,
    as your friend...
[07:58] ---
    Wait, are you mad that I compared you
    to the girl I imagined?
[08:05] ---
    Enough. Leave.
[08:08] ---
    That's why I don't like talking to you.
[08:10] ---
    Shut up.
[08:11] ---
    You're interrupting my reading. Leave!
[08:15] ---
    I told you to leave!
[08:17] ---
    Fine!
[08:18] ---
    You want me to leave, right?
[08:20] ---
    Thanks for helping me!
[08:22] ---
    Bye!
[08:26] ---
    Victorique is so bossy.
[08:34] ---
    I'm so sorry, Mr. Kujo.
[08:36] ---
    All because I asked you to run an errand...
[08:39] ---
    Well, it worked out okay.
[08:42] ---
    This is on the house!
[08:48] ---
    Just as Victorique said,
    the culprit was a blonde girl.
[08:52] ---
    According to the paper, she didn't
    say a word about her motive.
[08:57] ---
    But anyway, that closed the case.
[09:00] ---
    My innocence was proven.
[09:02] ---
    But...
[09:04] ---
    First the ghost ship,
    then the decapitation...
[09:06] ---
    Everywhere he goes, he brings death!
[09:10] ---
    He really is the
    Black Reaper Who Comes in Spring!
[09:14] ---
    I heard he's been talking to the
    Golden Fairy in the Library lately.
[09:18] ---
    Really?
[09:19] ---
    Golden Fairy in the Library?
[09:22] ---
    Is that...?
[09:25] ---
    Morning!
[09:32] ---
    We have a wonderful friend joining us
    on this wonderful morning!
[09:36] ---
    A transfer student from England,
    Miss Avril Bradley!
[09:39] ---
    You guys get along, okay?
[09:42] ---
    It's a pleasure to meet you.
[09:44] ---
    Now, for your seat...
[09:46] ---
    The one next to Mr. Kujo is open, I believe!
[09:50] ---
    Y-Yes, ma'am!
[09:51] ---
    Mr. Kujo is a transfer student, too.
[09:54] ---
    Really?
[09:56] ---
    Here's your chance to make a friend!
[09:58] ---
    Good luck!
[09:59] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[10:08] ---
    Here.
[10:11] ---
    Thanks.
[10:18] ---
    What is it?
[10:19] ---
    N-Nothing.
[10:23] ---
    What am I thinking?
[10:24] ---
    They caught the killer...
[10:31] ---
    Miss Bradley, let's get lunch together!
[10:34] ---
    Just call me Avril.
[10:35] ---
    Avril, shall we show you around the school?
[10:38] ---
    Come on, tell us all about England!
[10:41] ---
    They never asked about my country
    or offered to show me around...
[10:48] ---
    Kujo, right?
[10:50] ---
    It's Kazuya Kujo, isn't it?
[10:53] ---
    Yeah. That's right.
[10:55] ---
    I hope you'll teach me things,
    as a fellow transfer student.
[10:58] ---
    Okay, but...
[11:00] ---
    A-Avril...
[11:02] ---
    Th-That's...
[11:06] ---
    I don't have to.
[11:09] ---
    The kids in this school do love
    their ghost stories, don't they?
[11:14] ---
    The Ghost in the Abandoned Warehouse.
[11:16] ---
    The Curse of the Thirteenth Step.
[11:18] ---
    The Golden Fairy in the Library.
[11:20] ---
    Yeah...
[11:22] ---
    The Black Reaper Who Comes in Spring.
[11:25] ---
    Let's be friends, okay?
[11:27] ---
    R-Right...
[11:31] ---
    Really?
[11:33] ---
    So that's why they call you the Black Reaper?
[11:35] ---
    It's not funny.
[11:37] ---
    Sorry.
[11:38] ---
    But everyone really does believe that, huh?
[11:41] ---
    Hey, did you know about
    The Curse of the Thirteenth Step?
[11:45] ---
    No, I don't.
[11:47] ---
    More precisely, it's The Thirteenth Step
    on the Stairway to Heaven
.
[11:51] ---
    They say that long ago,
    on the 13th step of a staircase,
[11:54] ---
    a teacher tripped and snapped their neck.
[11:57] ---
    Ever since then, anyone who lingers
    on that step gets dragged into the afterlife.
[12:04] ---
    Of course, there's no such thing as ghosts.
[12:07] ---
    But this school sure is fun.
[12:09] ---
    It might make for great adventures!
[12:11] ---
    Adventures?
[12:13] ---
    My grandfather was an adventurer.
[12:15] ---
    Do you know Sir Bradley?
[12:18] ---
    He did things like touring Africa in a car,
[12:19] ---
    and crossing the Atlantic
    in a hot air balloon.
[12:23] ---
    I think I've heard of him...
[12:25] ---
    In the end, he went off in
    his balloon and disappeared...
[12:29] ---
    But my dream is to become
    an adventurer like him.
[12:36] ---
    So, let's have an adventure!
[12:38] ---
    Come on! Show me around!
[12:42] ---
    Sorry to make you come along with me.
[12:44] ---
    Well, I didn't have anything else to do.
[12:46] ---
    What's that?
[12:49] ---
    That's the library.
[12:51] ---
    I wonder if she's reading right now.
[12:54] ---
    They're both girls, but they're
    completely different...
[12:58] ---
    Victorique's so short-tempered and bossy.
[13:03] ---
    The mysterious Victorique...
[13:05] ---
    And...
[13:07] ---
    The dangerous Victorique...
[13:10] ---
    My mother was a dangerous person
    under government watch.
[13:14] ---
    I was raised alone, in a small room
    deep in the Blois mansion.
[13:19] ---
    And even after I was allowed
    into this school...
[13:25] ---
    I should probably make up with her.
[13:28] ---
    But how do I find something
    that won't bore her?
[13:32] ---
    Kujo?
[13:37] ---
    What's wrong?
[13:38] ---
    N-Nothing!
[13:41] ---
    Were you thinking about a girl?
[13:45] ---
    N-No!
[13:48] ---
    Let's go that way!
[13:50] ---
    R-Right...
[13:53] ---
    A blonde girl...
[13:55] ---
    A girl all my own...
[14:00] ---
    How did you hurt yourself?
[14:07] ---
    Nothing special.
[14:09] ---
    I just tripped.
[14:16] ---
    Mr. Kujo!
[14:17] ---
    Avril!
[14:19] ---
    Are you out for a walk?
[14:20] ---
    Yes! Kujo is showing me
    around the school!
[14:27] ---
    That hurt! Wh-What are you doing?
[14:29] ---
    Ow!
[14:29] ---
    Oh, you!
[14:31] ---
    Ms. Cécile!
[14:32] ---
    Stop it!
[14:33] ---
    That hurts!
[14:35] ---
    Hey!
[14:36] ---
    I have a favor to ask my two little friends!
[14:41] ---
    An orderly passed away.
[14:43] ---
    We're preparing his funeral service.
[14:45] ---
    Do you think you could help?
[14:49] ---
    One, two...
[14:53] ---
    It looks rather rusted over...
[14:55] ---
    They haven't used this place for eight years.
[14:58] ---
    I'll help.
[14:59] ---
    Thanks, kid.
[15:02] ---
    One, two!
[15:07] ---
    Almost got it!
[15:28] ---
    Ms. Cécile!
[15:30] ---
    Ms. Cécile!
[15:31] ---
    Are you okay?
[15:33] ---
    Ms. Cécile, speak to me!
[15:35] ---
    I-I'll fetch the police!
[15:37] ---
    I-I'll go, too!
[15:38] ---
    Thanks!
[15:40] ---
    Huh? Avril!
[15:55] ---
    The Black Reaper again?
[15:57] ---
    It had to be...
[15:59] ---
    The Black Reaper Who Comes in Spring...
[16:01] ---
    Scary...
[16:07] ---
    Is this my compensation?
[16:18] ---
    What is this thing?
[16:20] ---
    They're called kaminari okoshi.
[16:27] ---
    It's outrageously crunchy.
[16:29] ---
    Kujo, is this supposed to be a delicacy?
[16:31] ---
    Enough. Let's talk about Avril!
[16:34] ---
    What was that book?
[16:36] ---
    And she acted strangely when
    I asked about her injury, too.
[16:40] ---
    I believe that case was resolved.
[16:42] ---
    But I can't stop thinking about it.
[16:44] ---
    Anyway, if the corpse fell out
    the moment you opened the door,
[16:50] ---
    that means he must have been alive
    when he was locked in.
[16:54] ---
    He pounded on the door, begging for help,
    and eventually ran out of strength.
[16:59] ---
    The mausoleum hadn't been
    used for eight years.
[17:02] ---
    Was he sealed in, then?
[17:07] ---
    Oh, here you are, my little squirrel!
[17:10] ---
    Wh-What do you want?
[17:13] ---
    A few words with you.
[17:15] ---
    Ahem!
[17:16] ---
    It regards the case of the mummified knight.
[17:21] ---
    We found out the deceased's identity.
    It appears he's a man named Maxime.
[17:26] ---
    He's a graduate of this academy.
[17:28] ---
    He would return in spring, stay for
    a while, then go back to traveling.
[17:32] ---
    A curious man indeed.
[17:35] ---
    Fraud, extortion, robbery...
[17:37] ---
    There were many rumors
    about his illicit dealings.
[17:39] ---
    But eight years ago in spring,
    he disappeared abruptly.
[17:43] ---
    So he was trapped in there?
[17:45] ---
    Eight years ago, a student named
    Millie Marle passed away from an illness.
[17:49] ---
    The mausoleum hasn't been opened since then.
[17:52] ---
    It seems the key had been
    stolen just before then,
[17:55] ---
    but a new one was made immediately,
    and it was carefully guarded.
[18:00] ---
    When Millie Marle was laid to rest,
    naturally, Maxime was not there.
[18:04] ---
    So how did he get in, and when?
[18:07] ---
    Why was he dressed as a knight?
[18:09] ---
    What of the bouquet on his chest?
[18:11] ---
    What is the meaning of this?!
[18:14] ---
    How should I know?
[18:15] ---
    Hey, Victorique...
[18:18] ---
    It certainly is substantial.
[18:20] ---
    What kind of flowers were they?
[18:22] ---
    What kind of flowers were
    in the bouquet on his chest?
[18:26] ---
    Ahem.
[18:27] ---
    Primula, it seems.
[18:29] ---
    Does that solve the case?
[18:31] ---
    No...
[18:32] ---
    There's one fragment I'm missing.
[18:37] ---
    You two.
[18:38] ---
    Could you check the mausoleum,
    and find out if there's a corpse missing?
[18:53] ---
    Is that Millie Marle girl in here, too?
[18:56] ---
    You're right! It's gone!
[18:58] ---
    What?
[18:59] ---
    One of the old corpses is missing!
[19:04] ---
    Really...
[19:05] ---
    What does it matter if they're
    missing a corpse or two?
[19:20] ---
    It was Millie Marle.
[19:22] ---
    Millie Marle, who died eight years ago.
[19:25] ---
    She's the one who killed Maxime.
[19:28] ---
    Wh-What are you...?
[19:30] ---
    What are you talking about?!
[19:31] ---
    She was already dead
    at the time of the funeral!
[19:34] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[19:35] ---
    Victorique?
[19:37] ---
    He was killed by the dead girl.
[19:39] ---
    Millie chose Maxime to die with her.
[19:44] ---
    Knights are meant to protect
    their ladies in death, after all.
[19:47] ---
    Is that why he was dressed that way?
[19:50] ---
    The costume of a medieval knight...
[19:52] ---
    A stolen key...
[19:54] ---
    A missing corpse...
[19:56] ---
    I have all of the fragments of chaos.
[20:00] ---
    I'll begin reconstructing it now.
[20:17] ---
    Millie Marle gave Maxime sleeping pills
    and put him in the knight's outfit.
[20:24] ---
    Then she used the stolen key
    to enter the mausoleum,
[20:28] ---
    and swapped an old corpse
    on the pedestal for Maxime.
[20:33] ---
    The mausoleum was dark.
    The undertakers didn't notice.
[20:40] ---
    And then she died.
[20:44] ---
    She must have known that she would die soon.
[20:48] ---
    But why would she do that?
[20:53] ---
    Inspector! At least thank Victorique!
[20:56] ---
    I don't know what you're talking about.
[20:58] ---
    I just came here to talk
    to you, as a witness.
[21:02] ---
    Hey...
[21:05] ---
    Grévil!
[21:07] ---
    About the motive...
[21:09] ---
    You should investigate their relationship.
[21:12] ---
    The primula flower signifies...
[21:15] ---
    Open up! Open up!
[21:17] ---
    Someone open this door!
[21:21] ---
    ...with you, for eternity.
[21:25] ---
    Women's feelings run deep and strong.
[21:32] ---
    Big words from a Gray Wolf.
[21:41] ---
    Gray Wolf?
[21:43] ---
    What's that mean?
[21:44] ---
    What, are you still here?
[21:47] ---
    Of course I am!
[21:48] ---
    You still haven't explained Avril's book.
[21:52] ---
    This is getting annoying.
[21:54] ---
    Then give back my kaminari okoshi!
[21:57] ---
    Boredom may be my greatest enemy,
    but my second greatest is noise.
[22:02] ---
    You've invited my second greatest
    enemy to drive off my first.
[22:08] ---
    Avril came to the library.
[22:11] ---
    She's seriously acting weird.
[22:14] ---
    But I want to believe in her.
[22:16] ---
    That's why I want to know the truth!
[22:22] ---
    Victorique! Where are you going?
[22:25] ---
    Book! Book! Book!
[22:27] ---
    I'm going to save your soul from its worries.
[22:30] ---
    Be grateful!
[22:33] ---
    But where are you going?
[22:34] ---
    Hey, look out!
[22:36] ---
    It'll be really bad if you trip!
[22:39] ---
    Victorique!
[22:42] ---
    The Golden Fairy...
[22:44] ---
    The Gray Wolf...
[22:47] ---
    Victorique... What are you, really?
[23:01] ---
    Loneliness fighting back again
[23:04] ---
    Seems to be like it never ends
[23:09] ---
    Give us hope through the love of
[23:11] ---
    Peaceful shine on me
[23:24] ---
    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
[23:46] ---
    My heart withers
[23:53] ---
    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
[24:15] ---
    Go ahead, you can walk straight forward
[24:33] ---
    The fragments of chaos are whispering to me.
[24:36] ---
    Kujo...
[24:37] ---
    You are the type of man
    who'll be destroyed by a woman.
[24:41] ---
    I have a feeling they're right.
