[00:16] Bernard
    Hello, this is Pinochle's
    Old Maid Street branch.
[00:21] Bernard
    Understood, sir.
[00:36] Leo
    Our target is the jack of hearts, "Sky Dancer,"
    and its player, Jason Daltrey.
[00:42] Leo
    His power is rapid aerial movement.
[00:45] Leo
    To catch him, we'll have
    to chase him in the air.
[00:49] Finn
    Okay.
[00:51] Finn
    So today's job is a thrilling airborne race!
[00:57] Chris
    Finn, did you learn how to fly in that thing?
[01:00] Finn
    I'm sure flapping the wings'll do the trick.
[01:02] Chris
    You idiot!
[01:04] Chris
    If you fall from this height, you're dead.
[01:06] Chris
    Take this seriously.
[01:07] Finn
    Yeah, yeah.
[01:09] Finn
    You're immortal,
    so you'll be fine if you fall.
[01:11] Bernard
    We'll be above the target soon.
[01:14] Bernard
    Are you all prepared?
[01:17] Finn
    We got this, old man.
[01:18] Finn
    As High Card, we need...
[01:21] Vijay
    Manners, grace, and...
[01:23] Wendy
    ...a readiness to risk our lives, right?
[01:26] Bernard
    High Card, mobilize.
[01:32] Leo
    I'm counting on you.
[01:35] Chris
    You're coming with!
[01:37] Leo
    W-Wait...!
[01:39] Leo
    Y-You bastard!
[01:49] Finn
    Play...
[01:54] Finn
    "Neo New Nambu"!
[01:57] Finn
    Let's do this in style!
[03:34] Finn
    Mornin'. The usual, please.
[03:36] Finn
    No cabbage or pickles. Extra ketchup.
[03:49] Chris
    Good morning, sir.
[03:52] Finn
    Good morning, my boy.
[03:58] Finn
    Getting tired of picking me up every morning?
[04:01] Chris
    Oh, please, it's the least I can do for you.
[04:04] Chris
    You've taught me everything,
    from how to mop to how to treat customers.
[04:08] Chris
    I was hoping you could teach
    me how to seduce ladies next.
[04:11] Chris
    How are you in that department, sir?
[04:15] Finn
    C'mon, it's really weird for you
    to be treating me like this.
[04:19] Chris
    I don't see why.
[04:21] Chris
    You outrank me now, after all.
[04:30] Finn
    Say...
[04:31] Chris
    Hmm?
[04:33] Finn
    How is Michel these days?
[04:37] Chris
    She's doing really well recently.
[04:40] Chris
    I might be able to take her out
    to the theme park.
[04:44] Finn
    Good.
[04:49] Police Officer A
    Let's see some ID.
[04:53] Police Officer A
    What brings you downtown?
[04:55] Chris
    Important business.
[04:57] Police Officer A
    On today of all days?
[04:59] Police Officer A
    Where do you work?
[05:00] Chris
    Pinochle's Old Maid Street branch.
[05:09] Finn
    Security is heavier than usual.
[05:12] Chris
    Did you forget, Finn?
[05:14] Chris
    Today is...
[05:16] Finn
    Oh.
[05:30] Female Announcer
    Prince Dylan was the crown prince
    of the Fourland Kingdom and most beloved son
[05:35] Female Announcer
    to His Majesty King Julius.
[05:37] Female Announcer
    The citizens adored him for his sincerity,
[05:40] Female Announcer
    and across the country,
    the people mourn his death.
[05:45] Female Announcer
    A series of despicable terrorist acts
    stole not just our nation's peace,
[05:51] Female Announcer
    but also the prince, our future leader.
[05:57] Female Announcer
    Yet we must forge on and move forward,
[06:01] Female Announcer
    along with the second and third princes,
    Prince Louis and Prince Noah,
[06:06] Female Announcer
    who will uphold Prince Dylan's legacy.
[06:13] Julius
    Dylan...
[06:14] Julius
    Though your life was cut short
    and your soul has ascended to heaven,
[06:20] Julius
    we have no time to stop and mourn.
[06:24] Julius
    The royal family will carry on your wishes
    and usher our nation into the future.
[06:29] Chris
    His own son is dead,
    yet he's kind of cold and distant.
[06:35] Chris
    I'd expect no less of our client!
[06:39] Finn
    You saying that because we collect cards
    for the royal family?
[06:44] Chris
    Recently, they've been showering
    the president with orders.
[06:48] Chris
    Really puts the squeeze on us field agents.
[06:50] Chris
    I don't have it in me
    for one big fight after another.
[06:55] Finn
    I bet you probably do.
[06:58] Chris
    Man, I'm beat!
[07:00] Chris
    I'm so tired and my shoulders
    are so stiff I could die!
[07:02] Chris
    I'll leave the rest to you, sir.
[07:04] Finn
    Wait, you do it!
[07:06] Finn
    You're the newbie.
[07:11] Wendy
    By the way, where's Leo?
[07:13] Vijay
    I believe he went to see the president
    to make a report.
[07:21] Theodore
    Your Majesty.
[07:24] Chamberlain
    Not now.
[07:25] Chamberlain
    His Majesty is—
[07:26] Julius
    It's fine.
[07:29] Theodora
    We never expected this
    incident to escalate so.
[07:34] Theodora
    We knew the Klondikes were on the move,
[07:37] Theodora
    but I am to blame for not
    handling the situation properly.
[07:43] Julius
    On that beautiful night,
    the cards were released into the world.
[07:49] Julius
    Over the ages, they have chosen their
    players and sought to be connected...
[07:55] Julius
    If this continues, the chaos will never end.
[08:00] Julius
    We have but one recourse.
[08:04] Theodore
    Return as many cards as possible
[08:06] Theodore
    to the royal family
    before the coronation in January.
[08:10] Theodore
    I understand that to be Pinochle's mission.
[08:17] Julius
    The connections between the cards and their
    players shall be severed at the coronation.
[08:28] Leo
    I've been waiting for you, sir.
[08:31] Leo
    I brought the card we collected.
[08:34] Owen
    Then hand it over.
[08:38] Owen
    In fact, we need you to pick up
    the pace on card retrieval.
[08:42] Owen
    The president is worried
    about High Card's slow returns.
[08:46] Leo
    President!
[08:49] Leo
    If you have complaints, then talk
    to me directly instead of through him!
[08:53] Leo
    I lead our field—
[08:54] Owen
    I'm in charge of managing the cards.
[08:57] Owen
    Now, then...
[09:09] Owen
    The jack of hearts, I see.
[09:12] Leo
    I'd suggest you make sure
    the Klondikes don't swipe it.
[09:16] Owen
    I'd suggest you do not underestimate
    my "Red Labyrinth."
[09:21] Theodora
    Owen, enough.
[09:39] Theodora
    I've given your next job to Bernard.
[09:42] Theodora
    See to it immediately.
[10:06] Young
    I knew this would be a bust.
[10:08] Sugar
    How?! We had them completely surrounded!
[10:11] Young
    Investigation information was leaked.
[10:14] Young
    It's practically a miracle we got a warrant.
[10:16] Young
    Just goes to show they were that confident
    we couldn't catch them.
[10:20] Sugar
    There was a leak?
[10:24] Sugar
    Ban Klondike is a key material witness
    in the assassination of the crown prince!
[10:28] Sugar
    What is going on in this country?!
[10:31] Young
    Quit yelling.
[10:34] Young
    Anything involving cards is above
    peons like us who deal with the public.
[10:38] Young
    That's the unspoken rule here.
[10:42] Sugar
    Even so...
[10:44] Sugar
    I still want to know the truth!
[10:49] Young
    Get down!
[11:04] Sugar
    Captain?
[11:04] Sugar
    Captain Young!
[11:19] Sugar
    Is... that...?
[11:35] Lindsey
    Hello, Finn!
[11:39] Finn
    Lindsey!
[11:41] Finn
    How're Sam and the others?
[11:42] Lindsey
    They're doing well at the temporary facility.
[11:45] Finn
    Good.
[11:46] Finn
    When the new Sun Fields is ready,
    they can come back home.
[11:51] Lindsey
    An entrepreneur who saw the news
    volunteered to finance us.
[11:55] Lindsey
    He even bought the property from the landlord.
[11:59] Finn
    Man, I was going to do that.
[12:02] Finn
    Whoever it is has good taste.
[12:06] Lindsey
    I suggested that we rename
    the orphanage Apple Fields in his honor.
[12:11] Lindsey
    But he refused.
[12:13] Finn
    Apple? You mean...
[12:15] Lindsey
    The founder of the IT company Mizerka,
    Mr. Apple Link.
[12:19] Lindsey
    Do you know him?
[12:21] Finn
    Do I know him?!
[12:22] Finn
    He's one of my customers!
[12:24] Finn
    He was the first to buy a car from me!
[12:26] Lindsey
    What a lovely coincidence.
[12:28] Finn
    I'll thank him next time I see him!
[12:31] Lindsey
    Please do.
[12:33] Lindsey
    Now, about the reason you're here...
[12:38] Finn
    I'm ready.
[12:40] Finn
    Tell me about my family.
[12:45] Lindsey
    Okay.
[12:48] Lindsey
    The Oldman murder case
[12:51] Lindsey
    was a news sensation that swept
    TV stations and papers alike.
[12:56] Lindsey
    It happened just after
    the turn of the year, on January 3rd.
[13:00] Lindsey
    The family celebrated
    their son's birthday into the night.
[13:06] Lindsey
    As the date changed over,
    they put in a call for help.
[13:12] Lindsey
    When police arrived, the house
    was already engulfed in flame.
[13:17] Lindsey
    Of the wealthy family of four,
[13:19] Lindsey
    the parents and eldest son
    were presumed murdered
[13:22] Lindsey
    before the house was set ablaze.
[13:26] Lindsey
    I say "presumed" because the inferno
    reduced everything to ash.
[13:31] Lindsey
    There were barely remains left.
[13:35] Lindsey
    In the midst of that night, they found
    a young boy standing alone in the yard.
[13:41] Lindsey
    Emergency responders saved him,
[13:43] Lindsey
    but perhaps due to the trauma, he
    could recall nothing from before the tragedy.
[13:48] Lindsey
    His name was Finn Oldman.
    That boy was you.
[13:53] Lindsey
    And then you came to Sun Fields
    with only a card on you.
[14:00] Lindsey
    Who could say what horrors you'd witnessed?
[14:05] Lindsey
    I decided to keep the incident to myself
    and never bring it up with you.
[14:12] Lindsey
    Until you grew up and were
    ready for the truth, that is.
[14:18] Lindsey
    To this day, the culprit hasn't been caught.
    The case is considered cold.
[14:24] Lindsey
    That's all I know about
    what happened to your family.
[14:30] Finn
    So that's what it was...
[14:33] Lindsey
    Finn?
[14:36] Finn
    Thank you for telling me.
[14:42] Finn
    I'm sure of it now.
[14:46] Finn
    The only explanation is an X-Playing Card.
[14:58] Chris
    Sorry to ruin your paid leave,
    but we've got a job.
[15:01] Chris
    Where are you?
[15:02] Finn
    Near Sun Fields.
[15:04] Chris
    Perfect.
[15:06] Chris
    It's not too far from there.
[15:08] Chris
    A furry monster has appeared
    in Hopkins National Park.
[15:12] Chris
    People are making a fuss that it's a cryptid,
[15:15] Chris
    like Bigfoot or a yeti,
    but it's obviously a player.
[15:18] Chris
    Please hurry.
[15:20] Finn
    Got it.
[15:37] Chris
    Oh, come on now.
[15:39] Chris
    Not a big fan of gorillas,
    thank you very much!
[15:42] Finn
    Chris?
[15:43] Finn
    Hey, Chris?!
[15:54] Chris
    Ever thought about hair removal?
[15:56] Chris
    Might make you popular.
[16:00] Chris
    You're "THE ZOO" player
    with the 6 of hearts, huh?
[16:03] Chris
    That makes us neighbors.
[16:06] Chris
    Sorry, but I'm here to take your card!
[16:24] Finn
    Thanks, ma'am!
[16:31] Chris
    Where are you?
[16:42] Chris
    Take this!
[16:50] Chris
    Stop running away!
[17:02] Chris
    Wh-What was that?
[17:08] Chris
    Damn it...
[17:14] Chris
    Bring it!
[17:21] Finn
    Chris!
[17:26] Finn
    Are you okay, Chris?!
[17:28] Chris
    I just tripped, that's all.
[17:29] Chris
    Go after him.
[17:31] Finn
    Got it!
[17:47] Finn
    Huh?
[18:40] Finn
    You're...
[18:51] Chris
    Finn!
[18:52] Chris
    What's wrong?
[18:56] Chris
    Who the hell is that in the armor?
[18:59] Finn
    He's...
[19:01] Finn
    He's the man from my nightmare...
[19:07] Finn
    The Black Knight.
[19:10] Chris
    What?!
[19:34] Chris
    Finn, get up!
[19:46] Tilt
    Stop.
[19:50] Tilt
    You're a sad existence.
[19:53] Tilt
    You can't help but destroy everything.
[19:56] Tilt
    Including even yourself, eventually...
[20:23] Vijay
    The Black Knight, you say?
[20:26] Chris
    He wears black armor,
    and according to Finn, he ate the card.
[20:31] Vijay
    I've never heard of such an ability.
[20:34] Vijay
    Leo?
[20:37] Leo
    The company only divulges information
    it deems to be necessary.
[20:41] Leo
    The less people know
    about the cards, the better.
[20:44] Leo
    That's the rule of this country.
[20:46] Wendy
    Talk about a pain!
[20:48] Wendy
    Want me to just kill them all?
[20:51] Vijay
    Love-P, you're our ace in the hole, so...
[20:55] Wendy
    Kidding! I'm only kidding!
[20:57] Chelsea
    Here are your orders.
[20:59] Chelsea
    A chai, a coke, a café au
    lait float, and another beer.
[21:05] Chris
    Thanks, Chelsea.
[21:07] Chris
    Does the float have extra ice cream?
[21:09] Chelsea
    You've got to cut back on sweet stuff.
[21:12] Chelsea
    Wait, where's Finn?
[21:14] Chris
    Oh, he seemed under the weather,
    so I drove him home.
[21:18] Chris
    Like any good newbie would.
[21:25] Finn
    It was him. He...
[21:30] Finn
    killed my family.
[21:34] Ban
    I see.
[21:36] Ban
    Got it.
[21:38] Ban
    Leave the rest to us.
[21:40] Ban
    You just need to sit tight.
[21:45] Ban
    Hear that, Zenon?
[21:50] Ban
    This country is about to change.
[21:53] Ban
    It'll do a one-eighty, turning on its head.
[21:57] Zenon
    Sounds good to me.
[22:00] Zenon
    The fun is about to start.
[23:36] Finn
    Next time: "TRUTH OF THE HERO."
