[00:32] ---
Why?
[00:33] ---
Why?!
[00:35] ---
We were just out for a walk!
[00:37] ---
And you...
[00:39] ---
The people of the village
don't usually go into the forest.
[00:42] ---
Sergius mistook you for wolves.
[00:46] ---
I shot a wolf.
[00:48] ---
I didn't shoot this man.
[00:51] ---
Don't be ridiculous!
[00:52] ---
Derek!
[00:53] ---
Give Raul back to me!
[00:54] ---
Raul! Raul!
[01:12] ---
It seemed like it had been decided long before
[01:18] ---
It seemed like we knew long ago
[01:24] ---
As if we followed an invisible line
[01:30] ---
We were led to each other,
to an intersecting saison
[01:36] ---
Like how light and dark
are two sides of the same coin
[01:41] ---
I was captivated by mystification
[01:47] ---
When I turned around toward the voice
that whispered in my ear
[01:53] ---
The door had opened before I realized
[01:59] ---
Like joining a little chance with inevitability
[02:04] ---
Two histoires were set into motion, ah
[02:16] ---
Continuing on forever
[02:29] ---
The headman was very insistent
that he didn't do it.
[02:34] ---
What do you think?
[02:40] ---
To prove he didn't do it, we need evidence.
[02:45] ---
Even if it is Headman Sergius,
the arbiter of justice in this village...
[02:52] ---
Brian Roscoe...
[02:55] ---
Isn't that the man who brought
electricity to the village?
[02:58] ---
Yes.
[02:59] ---
When I was a child...
[03:01] ---
...he stayed here for only a little while...
[03:04] ---
...but he taught me many things
about the outside world.
[03:09] ---
I love this village.
[03:12] ---
But thanks to him, I've gotten
curious about the world outside.
[03:16] ---
So...
[03:18] ---
At that same time, you've begun to feel
the swirl of chaos enveloping this village.
[03:24] ---
I have the fragments of its cause.
[03:28] ---
I can explain them if you wish.
[03:32] ---
That will be the evidence you speak of.
[03:37] ---
Episode 8
Howls Echo in the Kingdom of the Past
[03:42] ---
The cathedral is uninhabited at this time.
[03:45] ---
This is the only time when the
ancestral spirits are allowed pass through.
[03:49] ---
The culprit will use this
to rob the place, I'm sure.
[03:53] ---
But is there anything in
this village worth stealing?
[03:57] ---
Most humans use new stimuli
to sate their inexhaustible greed.
[04:02] ---
But there are some eccentric beings
who hold a curious reverence for old things.
[04:06] ---
You mean, the culprit is--
[04:11] ---
He's come.
[04:22] ---
That's...
[04:23] ---
Yes. The culprit is...
[04:26] ---
The culprit is you!
[04:28] ---
Derek Banks!
[04:33] ---
Wh-What's Inspector Blois doing here?
[04:37] ---
This urn belongs to me!
[04:39] ---
I won't leave it with people
who don't recognize its value!
[04:48] ---
They were thieves.
[04:53] ---
When they threw the urn into the holy water,
[04:55] ---
while just playing drunk,
they were testing its authenticity.
[04:59] ---
A gilt fake would float.
[05:02] ---
So the murders happened
because they turned on each other?
[05:04] ---
Precisely.
[05:06] ---
B-But right before the murder,
Alan got hit with hazelnuts in the plaza...
[05:11] ---
That was Derek in disguise.
[05:15] ---
After that fight with Harminia,
Derek knocked Alan out,
[05:20] ---
then swapped him with the sculpture.
[05:23] ---
Where's your proof?!
[05:25] ---
Right here.
[05:27] ---
This fell on the floor
when you were handcuffed.
[05:32] ---
And there was one on the
forest floor next to Raul, too.
[05:39] ---
It's very clear...
[05:42] ---
...that you shot Raul in the forest.
[05:46] ---
You covered it up with the
festival drums and by firing blanks.
[05:50] ---
Then you used the howling of the wolves
to frame Sergius for your murder.
[05:57] ---
If a wolf howled, someone in this village
would come to shoot it.
[06:01] ---
Because you saw that happen
when you first came to this village.
[06:08] ---
It was not you who killed Raul.
[06:11] ---
This is your proof.
[06:15] ---
To be saved by Cordelia's daughter...
[06:19] ---
Take him away.
[06:20] ---
Sir!
[06:20] ---
W-Wait, where are you taking him?
[06:23] ---
This man will be judged here.
[06:27] ---
This village is in the territory
of the Kingdom of Saubure!
[06:29] ---
You must obey the laws
and authorities of Saubure!
[06:33] ---
You think this is Saubure?
[06:39] ---
This is not a village.
[06:40] ---
This is a country.
[06:42] ---
This is the Kingdom of Saillune.
[06:45] ---
Saillune?
[06:47] ---
I am not a headman, but a king.
[06:50] ---
The king's word is law.
[06:53] ---
Do you understand?
[07:00] ---
What's with those guys?
[07:03] ---
Honestly...
[07:04] ---
You know, I have some
questions for you, too.
[07:07] ---
What are you doing in the village,
Inspector Blois?
[07:11] ---
Kujo, didn't you think?
[07:14] ---
Why did Grévil let the culprit go
without taking any credit for himself?
[07:21] ---
What culprit?
[07:24] ---
I had too much to drink...
[07:26] ---
Am I done yet, Inspector?
[07:29] ---
The one she kept calling
in secret was Grévil.
[07:34] ---
H-Huh?!
[07:35] ---
Man...
[07:37] ---
It caught me during a little poker hustle.
[07:40] ---
It said it would let me go
if I did some work for it.
[07:43] ---
It?!
[07:46] ---
Work?
[07:48] ---
To follow me around,
watch over me, and report to Grévil.
[07:53] ---
That was her job.
[07:55] ---
But more importantly...
[07:57] ---
Ambrose, this time,
I want you to help me find proof.
[08:03] ---
M-Me?
[08:04] ---
And Kujo, I have a role for you, too.
[08:07] ---
M-Me?
[08:09] ---
Yes.
[08:10] ---
After 20 years... I will prove
Cordelia Gallo's innocence.
[09:05] ---
I found you! The woman who killed me...
[09:08] ---
H-Headman Theodore...
[09:11] ---
No... No!
[09:13] ---
Harminia.
[09:14] ---
No! Go back! Go back to the afterlife!
[09:18] ---
Do you admit it, Harminia?
[09:21] ---
I admit it.
[09:22] ---
I... I killed you!
[09:28] ---
It's just like you deduced, Victorique!
[09:42] ---
Wh-Why?
[09:44] ---
I heard it!
[09:47] ---
The language of the afterlife!
[09:48] ---
That's why I thought you were an ancestor!
[09:50] ---
That you were Elder Theodore!
[09:52] ---
Oh, that line...
[09:54] ---
Jugemu Jugemu Goko-no-surikire
Kaijarisuigyo-no...
[09:59] ---
Um...
[10:00] ---
That's kind of a traditional... charm?
From my homeland...
[10:06] ---
It was you?!
[10:08] ---
I-I don't believe it!
[10:10] ---
Harminia is a bit strange,
but she's a nice person...
[10:14] ---
She can't be a killer.
[10:16] ---
The doves flew.
[10:18] ---
Doves?
[10:19] ---
In the study where the murder
took place 20 years ago,
[10:22] ---
she and I exchanged words.
[10:25] ---
Then, white doves took flight
outside the window.
[10:29] ---
When I saw that, my wellspring
of wisdom began to speak to me.
[10:34] ---
The chaos before you has the same form
[10:37] ---
as the theft of the Dresden plate
in the flea market.
[10:42] ---
The same way the doves were used
to direct attention to one spot...
[10:47] ---
...20 years ago, gold coins
were used in the same way.
[10:53] ---
On that fateful day,
you held your breath
[10:56] ---
and waited in the grandfather clock
for Theodore's return.
[11:00] ---
That's where he hid the gold coins,
which the village does not use.
[11:05] ---
When Theodore passed by,
you threw them.
[11:10] ---
The force of it
[11:12] ---
caused the gold coins to rain down
on Theodore in a brilliant show of light.
[11:19] ---
He instinctively followed them,
which made Theodore's actions predictable.
[11:28] ---
Her weight on the dagger
plunged it in to the hilt.
[11:38] ---
After Harminia killed Theodore,
she locked the door,
[11:42] ---
and hid in the grandfather clock once more.
[11:46] ---
She waited for someone to find the body
and be accused of the crime.
[11:53] ---
And the unfortunate creature
who ended up chosen for that role...
[12:00] ---
...was my mother, Cordelia.
[12:10] ---
Sergius. You said something
about the time of death...
[12:16] ---
The witness statements
about it were all different.
[12:21] ---
Yes.
[12:23] ---
Could that be because the grandfather clock
that usually chimes was silent that night?
[12:30] ---
Now that you mention it...
[12:31] ---
Why didn't the clock chime?
[12:34] ---
Because Harminia was hiding inside it.
[12:37] ---
Inside the grandfather clock,
where Theodore hid the gold coins.
[12:41] ---
H-Harminia...
[12:44] ---
But what was the motive?
[12:47] ---
The future...
[12:49] ---
The future?
[12:51] ---
A divine revelation at the solstice festival.
[12:54] ---
Yes...
[12:56] ---
I learned something about
the future I shouldn't have.
[13:00] ---
With the curiosity of a child...
[13:02] ---
"Twenty years from now,
when you are 26, you will die," he said.
[13:10] ---
I couldn't accept it.
[13:12] ---
I wanted to live.
[13:14] ---
I wanted to live longer!
[13:16] ---
In order to overturn
that future of despair...
[13:21] ---
Th-That's why you
killed Headman Theodore?!
[13:25] ---
Ambrose!
[13:26] ---
Off with her head!
[13:29] ---
Wait a minute!
[13:31] ---
I know she's a criminal, but--
[13:34] ---
Harminia is 26 years old this year.
[13:38] ---
Just as Headman Theodore predicted,
she will die here.
[13:42] ---
Use this!
[13:48] ---
Harminia...
[13:50] ---
She was so nice to me.
[13:53] ---
I loved Harminia.
[13:56] ---
And...
[13:57] ---
And Elder Sergius...
[14:00] ---
And this village...
[14:03] ---
But...
[14:07] ---
Harminia, run!
[14:10] ---
After them! A sinner brings ill fortune!
[14:12] ---
Don't let her escape!
[14:23] ---
There!
[14:25] ---
Fetch water!
[14:26] ---
The fire's spreading!
[14:28] ---
Put it out, quickly!
[14:30] ---
The mansion's on fire!
[14:31] ---
Look!
[14:34] ---
Harminia started the fire?
[14:36] ---
Harminia!
[14:37] ---
Wait, Ambrose!
[15:00] ---
Harminia!
[15:01] ---
Cordelia's daughter!
[15:04] ---
You did bring ill fortune.
[15:07] ---
To this village...
[15:08] ---
To me!
[15:18] ---
The bridge...
[15:19] ---
The one path between this village
and the outside world...
[15:26] ---
Harminia...
[15:28] ---
Your hair is in disarray, Ambrose.
[15:31] ---
I always tell you to keep it tightly bound.
[15:33] ---
Headman Sergius!
This isn't the time for that!
[15:37] ---
The bridge...
[15:38] ---
The bridge is of no importance.
[15:41] ---
We are in the Kingdom of Saillune.
[15:44] ---
We have no need to leave it.
[15:52] ---
Let's go.
[15:54] ---
The bridge is about to burn down.
[15:56] ---
R-Right.
[16:03] ---
Cordelia's daughter...
[16:05] ---
Those eyes...
[16:06] ---
The color of sin...
[16:08] ---
Sin... Sin...
[16:10] ---
I'll kill your sin!
[16:19] ---
I'll kill your sin...
[16:21] ---
Kill it with this village...
[16:23] ---
And then...
[16:25] ---
...I will live!
[16:28] ---
Kujo?!
[16:28] ---
H-Hey!
[16:30] ---
Inspector!
[16:31] ---
I'll take care of Victorique!
[16:32] ---
You hurry, and--
[16:35] ---
Kujo!
[16:37] ---
I will live.
[16:38] ---
I will surpass 26 and turn 27...
[16:40] ---
...28...
[16:43] ---
...29... 30... 31...
[16:46] ---
...32... 33...
[16:48] ---
...34... 35... 36... 37... 38...
[16:53] ---
Kujo!
[16:53] ---
...39...
[16:55] ---
...40...
[17:00] ---
...41...
[17:02] ---
...42...
[17:04] ---
...43...
[17:05] ---
Kujo!
[17:05] ---
...44...
[17:07] ---
Stop it, Kujo!
[17:08] ---
Don't worry about me!
[17:10] ---
You don't have to--
[17:11] ---
Yes, I do!
[17:14] ---
I finally managed to make up with you...
[17:17] ---
I can't take being apart from you again!
[17:21] ---
That doesn't matter right now!
[17:23] ---
Yes, it does!
[17:26] ---
You're my friend.
[17:28] ---
Of course it matters!
[17:34] ---
Kujo!
[17:44] ---
...50...
[17:45] ---
...51... 52... 53...
[17:52] ---
Kujo!
[17:54] ---
...54!
[17:55] ---
Stop it!
[18:03] ---
Harminia!
[18:14] ---
Harminia...
[18:17] ---
Not good!
[18:19] ---
Hurry!
[18:43] ---
No... Victorique...
[18:46] ---
If you rush like that...
[18:49] ---
...you'll lose your precious pendant.
[18:52] ---
When something's important to you...
[18:55] ---
...you need to hold on tight.
[19:05] ---
What are you doing, Kujo?!
[19:07] ---
Get up, idiot!
[19:11] ---
Victorique...?
[19:14] ---
Doesn't... your hand hurt?
[19:18] ---
Your hand... is all red.
[19:21] ---
Shut up! Hang on!
[19:23] ---
If you give up now,
we're through forever, Kujo!
[19:28] ---
Come back with me.
[19:30] ---
You said so before.
[19:32] ---
Together...
[19:35] ---
Kujo...
[19:36] ---
This isn't where we
get separated, remember?!
[19:43] ---
That's right.
[19:46] ---
We won't be...
[19:50] ---
...separated here.
[19:52] ---
Not here...
[19:58] ---
Do you see?
[20:00] ---
Your sin has been burned away.
[20:10] ---
It looks like the fire's out.
[20:12] ---
They'll go back to living in secret,
like they always have.
[20:17] ---
But is that okay with you, Ambrose?
[20:22] ---
I always wanted to cross that bridge.
[20:25] ---
Ever since Brian Roscoe told me
about the outside world...
[20:31] ---
What a ridiculous village.
[20:34] ---
Saillune, he called it?
[20:36] ---
In actual history,
[20:38] ---
mostly ancient history, there are accounts
of a people who appeared as gods.
[20:44] ---
Long ago, a forest people
ruled a land in Eastern Europe.
[20:49] ---
They were small and frail,
[20:52] ---
but used soaring intelligence
to crush their enemies.
[20:56] ---
But in the 15th century,
they suddenly disappeared from history.
[21:01] ---
They were known as the Saillunians.
[21:07] ---
But either way, that was long ago.
[21:10] ---
We are living in the present.
[21:13] ---
The present?
[21:18] ---
I see.
[21:20] ---
Then I can live on.
[21:23] ---
I can.
[21:25] ---
I will live on...
[21:28] ---
...in the present.
[21:37] ---
You might never get out again.
[21:40] ---
After the trouble you caused...
[21:43] ---
And yet, I am satisfied.
[21:46] ---
I proved Cordelia's innocence.
[21:50] ---
A daughter must protect her mother's honor.
[21:55] ---
That's right.
[21:56] ---
I thought that was strange...
[21:59] ---
For the headman's revelation...
[22:00] ---
Why did you both ask the same question?
[22:07] ---
I see.
[22:09] ---
So she really wasn't...
[22:11] ---
...asking if she would get taller or not.
[22:16] ---
She asked...
[22:17] ---
What?
[22:19] ---
Why do you keep glancing at me?
[22:22] ---
N-No, it's nothing...
[22:24] ---
Here it is.
[22:41] ---
Let's go, Victorique.
[22:46] ---
Indeed.
[22:55] ---
Let's go home.
[22:57] ---
Back...
[23:00] ---
...to the usual place.
[23:02] ---
Loneliness fighting back again
[23:05] ---
Seems to be like it never ends
[23:10] ---
Give us hope through the love of
[23:12] ---
Peaceful shine on me
[23:25] ---
In the pounding rain that never ceases
[23:29] ---
I have forgotten how to smile,
and I suffer as the world passes me by
[23:40] ---
If in the midst of conflict and deceit
[23:47] ---
My heart withers
[23:54] ---
Like a flower floating in turbulent waves
[24:02] ---
Lead the way and overcome the storm
[24:09] ---
Like you're stepping firmly on barren earth
[24:16] ---
Go ahead, you can walk straight forward
[24:38] ---
I don't feel good.
[24:42] ---
Ah! Victorique!
[24:44] ---
Don't wipe your nose on my clothes!
[24:45] ---
