[00:03] Finn
Anything, Leo?
[00:04] Leo
There don't seem to be any
security measures implemented.
[00:07] Leo
The building looks abandoned.
[00:10] Norman
Schmier House?
[00:12] Norman
That damn Ban...
[00:13] Finn
You know this place?
[00:15] Norman
A certain incident transpired here.
[00:18] Norman
The public knows nothing of it, however.
[00:21] Leo
Finn, Owen, we'll go on foot
from here to avoid detection.
[00:25] Finn
Got it.
[00:26] Finn
Let's do this, mister!
[00:29] Norman
Huh?
[00:31] Leo
You stay here in case something happens.
[00:34] Finn
What's the problem?
[00:35] Finn
Another player on our side is good—
[00:36] Leo
Owen, let's go.
[00:38] Finn
H-Hey, wait up!
[02:37] (Flashback) Young
Late as it may be, the nation's finally
starting to move in the right direction.
[02:43] (Flashback) Young
All because you've touched my heart
and the hearts of others.
[02:51] (Flashback) Young
Be confident, Sugar.
[02:59] Sugar
I will, Captain.
[03:04] Julius
The cards are here?
[03:07] Staff A
What shall we do?
[03:09] Julius
Show him in.
[03:10] Staff A
Your Majesty.
[03:11] Louis
You finally came, Young.
[03:17] Louis
You're not Young.
[03:19] Louis
You're from Pinochle!
[03:22] Wendy
Sire, we have retrieved
the cards from the police.
[03:26] Wendy
We of High Card came to report
to Your Majesty immediately.
[03:31] Julius
I see. Well done.
[03:33] Julius
Now, give us the cards.
[03:36] Wendy
I'm afraid we cannot do that.
[03:38] Wendy
We'd like to request that we
guard the cards a little longer.
[03:43] Vijay
San Galgano is lurking in the shadows
to snatch the cards.
[03:47] Vijay
His aim is the most precious, the 53rd—
[03:51] Julius
What are you trying to say?
[03:54] Vijay
Pardon me.
[03:55] Julius
It isn't High Card that has my trust.
[03:59] Julius
It's Theodore himself, who swore fealty
to the royal family and kept his promise
[04:05] Julius
to never use the cards for his own gain!
[04:07] Julius
You are nothing but his dogs!
[04:12] Staff
Your Majesty!
[04:13] Louis
Father!
[04:15] Vijay
Your Majesty, speaking of
Master Theodore, we've located him.
[04:19] Julius
What? Is this true?!
[04:21] Vijay
Yes.
[04:22] Vijay
Our intel indicates he's been
captured by Ban Klondike.
[04:25] Vijay
A rescue team is on their way.
[04:27] Wendy
Master Theodore ordered us
to protect the cards with our lives.
[04:33] Wendy
So we'll be watching over them ourselves.
[04:36] Wendy
At least until our master returns.
[04:39] Julius
You won't even hand them to your king?
[04:46] Julius
I forbid you to leave the castle.
[04:55] Noah
What's going on?!
[04:57] Noah
Members of High Card
showed up with the cards!
[05:00] Noah
Did you screw up again?!
[05:02] Noah
If the plan gets derailed any further,
I'll have to void our agreement!
[05:06] Ban
You sound so worked up. What's the big deal?
[05:09] Noah
You promised me!
[05:11] Noah
You said you'd clear my way to the throne
[05:13] Noah
in exchange for all that
information about the cards!
[05:17] Noah
Half a year ago, they were
secretly gathered at the palace.
[05:21] Noah
I told you so you could steal them,
[05:23] Noah
which ended up causing the X-Blind.
[05:26] Noah
In return, you managed to dispose
of Dylan and cover it up as terrorism,
[05:31] Noah
but you failed to assassinate Louis...
[05:34] Noah
You damn fool!
[05:36] Noah
But I learned that Theodore's
secretary was hiding the cards,
[05:39] Noah
which I leaked to you!
[05:41] Noah
It's all thanks to me that you were able
to steal the cards and capture Theodore.
[05:47] Noah
Isn't that right?!
[05:48] Noah
Moreover, I told you the
whereabouts of the joker.
[05:52] Noah
But because of dumb infighting,
[05:53] Noah
your subordinate got arrested by the police.
[05:55] Noah
And thanks to that blunder, that detective
began to suspect our connection!
[06:00] Noah
That's why I had to...
[06:04] Noah
If this keeps up, and Louis is coronated,
then everything I've done...
[06:09] Noah
I've... I've got to be the next king!
[06:13] Ban
Stop yapping, you greedy kid.
[06:16] Noah
You're just as bad as I am!
[06:19] Ban
No.
[06:20] Ban
I'm in this for my pride.
[06:23] Ban
Talk to you later, boy.
[06:29] Noah
You useless fool!
[06:36] Noah
Calm down.
[06:37] Noah
I still have a chance.
[06:39] Noah
There must be a way for me to be king.
[06:47] Leo
Let's go.
[06:57] Leo
What's that?
[07:02] Finn
Doesn't look like the president's here.
[07:04] Owen
This is why I couldn't reach him,
even with my power.
[07:13] Owen
It's warm!
[07:14] Leo
What?!
[07:18] Finn
What the heck?!
[07:38] Leo
Where am I?
[07:42] Leo
Father!
[07:44] Leo
Are you all right?!
[07:45] Leo
Are you hurt?!
[07:46] Leo
I'm so relieved.
[07:49] Theodore
Why are you here?
[07:50] Leo
Huh?
[07:52] Theodore
Is this you acting logically,
without your emotions controlling you?
[07:56] Leo
I was trying to save you...
[07:58] Theodore
Did it occur to you that your reckless
actions could lead to more harm?
[08:04] Leo
Owen, Finn...
[08:07] Ban
What a touching reunion.
[08:10] Ban
A son risking his life to save his father...
[08:14] Ban
Sound familiar to you?
[08:18] Leo
Ban Klondike!
[08:19] Ban
Hey, do you want to hear an
interesting tale about the cards?
[08:24] Leo
What?
[08:26] Ban
A story about this nation you've never heard.
[08:31] Ban
About 25 years ago...
[08:33] Ban
My father, a politician,
[08:36] Ban
invited guests from abroad
to this guesthouse for a party.
[08:42] Ban
However...
[08:49] (Flashback) Young Theodore
Hold it.
[08:49] (Flashback) Young Ban
What?!
[08:51] (Flashback) Young Theodore
You'll need transportation
to go save your father.
[08:55] (Flashback) Young Theodore
Let's go.
[09:10] Ban
That day, stuffy Theodore broke Pinochle's
golden rule and used his card for my sake.
[09:18] Ban
It made me so happy.
[09:21] Ban
With him by my side,
we'd be able to save my father.
[09:24] Ban
Or so I thought.
[09:36] (Flashback) Young Ban
Pops...
[09:41] (Flashback) Young Theodore
Ban!
[09:50] (Flashback) Young Ban
Is this...
[09:51] (Flashback) Young Ban
Is this how it ends for my father?!
[09:57] Ban
It was the worst-case scenario we feared.
[10:01] Ban
What crossed my mind at that moment
was a method considered taboo.
[10:07] (Flashback) Young Theodore
What are you...
[10:10] (Flashback) Young Ban
I'm going to turn back time...
[10:13] (Flashback) Young Ban
with an X-Hand!
[10:15] (Flashback) Young Theodore
Ban, don't!
[10:16] (Flashback) Young Ban
Shut up!
[10:17] (Flashback) Young Theodore
Don't do anything stupid!
[10:19] (Flashback) Young Ban
I don't care! I'm using these cards!
[10:22] Ban
I thought you'd understand.
[10:25] Ban
That's what I believed.
[10:26] Ban
But...
[10:28] (Flashback) Young Theodore
Ban Klondike.
[10:29] (Flashback) Young Theodore
I'm willing to overlook this.
[10:32] (Flashback) Young Theodore
Just give it up.
[10:33] (Flashback) Young Ban
What?
[10:39] Ban
It was a foolish delusion.
[10:41] (Flashback) Young Ban
Play...
[10:42] (Flashback) Young Ban
X-Hand!
[10:59] (Flashback) Young Ban
Theodore!
[11:12] (Flashback) Young Ban
Why...?
[11:14] (Flashback) Young Ban
Why, Theodore?
[11:21] Ban
The price of that X-Hand was my left eye.
[11:25] Ban
But that wasn't all I lost.
[11:28] Ban
The royal family covers up
all cases involving cards,
[11:34] Ban
and that's to say nothing of
an agent who's supposed to be
[11:37] Ban
collecting the cards trying to play an X-Hand.
[11:41] Ban
So everything was swept under the rug,
[11:45] Ban
including my father's very life.
[11:47] Ban
The dimwitted masses forgot about him
so quickly you wouldn't believe it.
[11:53] Ban
It was like he'd never existed.
[11:58] Ban
Everything was snatched away.
[12:00] Ban
His accomplishments, his fortune,
even his name... Everything.
[12:06] Ban
All of it!
[12:09] Ban
Ever since that day, these flowers that
keep blooming like time has stopped for them
[12:14] Ban
and the names of the victims
I had engraved here
[12:17] Ban
are the only remaining proof
that my father was here.
[12:21] Ban
Your father started this fight.
[12:25] Ban
If I'd played that X-Hand back then,
I could have saved mine.
[12:31] Ban
But enough with the old stories.
[12:35] Ban
Theodore, you sit right there
and witness what's about to happen.
[12:44] Ban
Well, that didn't take you long, TILT.
[12:57] Ban
What's wrong?
[12:58] Ban
Didn't you want to see me?
[12:59] Tilt
I need you to tell me something.
[13:02] Tilt
Why'd you make me do it?
[13:04] Tilt
You owe me an answer.
[13:06] Ban
It seems Zenon's power has worn off.
[13:09] Ban
My goal is to slay the joker
and destroy this stupid country.
[13:15] Ban
I needed San Galgano's power
to make that happen.
[13:20] Ban
It was total coincidence
I found a player that night
[13:24] Ban
while chasing after the king of spades.
[13:28] Ban
So, with Zenon's power...
[13:33] Tilt
After killing my parents,
I had to live in the shadows.
[13:38] Tilt
I thought you were extending a helping hand.
[13:41] Tilt
But I was wrong.
[13:42] Tilt
You only used me.
[13:44] Tilt
Isn't that right?
[13:46] Ban
My interests and San Galgano's
happened to align.
[13:51] Ban
The name I gave you, TILT,
wasn't half bad, right?
[13:56] Ban
Yes! Embrace that raging hatred!
[14:00] Ban
Surrender yourself to San Galgano!
[14:02] Ban
The point of having power is to use it.
[14:05] Tilt
Ban Klondike...
[14:09] Ban
That's right.
[14:19] Ban
Go ahead, keep dancing in the palm of my hand!
[14:26] Leo
Father, please run!
[14:28] Leo
Before it's too late!
[14:31] Ban
This is perfect.
[14:35] Ban
Hey, Theodore, can you see?
[14:38] Ban
Are you watching with those eyes of yours
that see through everything?
[14:42] Ban
Can you hear your son screaming for help?
[14:54] Ban
It's still, still, still not enough!
[14:56] Leo
Don't...
[14:58] Leo
Don't worry about me...
[15:01] Leo
Run, Father...
[15:20] Ban
Theodore, perhaps you'll understand
my pain if you lose a loved one too.
[15:42] Leo
Father!
[16:01] Leo
Father...
[16:03] Leo
No... Your eyes!
[16:07] Ban
Theodore, you have it easier
than I did back then.
[16:13] Ban
Your son is still alive.
[16:15] Ban
You still have a chance to save your family.
[16:19] Ban
The pain you're experiencing
is nothing like what I went through.
[16:25] Ban
Huh?
[16:26] Ban
Hey, are you trying to beg for your life?
[16:31] Theodore
Play...
[16:35] Theodore
X-Hand.
[16:51] Owen
Master Theodore?
[16:56] Ban
An X-Hand?
[16:59] Ban
How does it feel to break the rules?
[17:03] Ban
Now you understand...
[17:05] Ban
what it feels like to be denied your power!
[17:20] Ban
Damn it!
[17:40] Theodore
Give it up.
[17:42] Theodore
Right now, I can see through
your mind and everything else.
[17:50] Theodore
It's over, Ban.
[17:51] Theodore
Resisting is—
[17:52] Ban
Tell me! Why'd you play an X-Hand?
[17:56] Ban
Why wouldn't you let me
use mine back then?
[18:00] Ban
Not being able to save my father was...!
[18:03] Ban
After that, are you still going
to insist on following the rules?!
[18:09] Ban
After that, you still don't know how I feel?!
[18:13] Ban
What it's like not to be understood...
by your very best friend?!
[18:19] Theodore
You're wrong.
[18:21] Theodore
The person I really, truly wanted to protect—
[18:31] Tilt
Move.
[18:34] Tilt
I'll be the one to kill you, Ban Klondike.
[18:40] Ban
Very good, San Galgano.
[18:46] Tilt
Farewell.
[19:00] Theodore
Listen, Ban...
[19:02] Theodore
The person... I truly wanted to protect...
[19:12] Theodore
It was you.
[19:28] Ban
What a boring answer.
[19:33] Leo
Father...
[19:36] Leo
Father...
[19:37] Leo
Father! Father!
[19:40] Leo
Father...!
[19:47] Ban
Theodore.
[19:48] Ban
Burn into your eyes forever
[19:52] Ban
how Fourland goes up in flames.
[19:56] Ban
What I, Ban Klondike, will achieve!
[20:00] Ban
Play... X-Hand!
[20:06] Ban
This wager is mine.
[20:23] Leo
Where am I?
[20:27] Leo
Father!
[20:28] Leo
Are you all right?!
[20:29] Leo
Are you hurt?!
[20:31] Leo
I'm so relieved.
[20:33] Theodore
Why are you here?
[20:35] Theodore
Is this you acting—
[20:50] Theodore
Ban...
[20:58] Leo
Allow me, Father.
[21:02] Leo
Now you're free.
[21:20] Tilt
Ban Klondike...
[21:23] Tilt
Did you kill him?
[21:25] Tilt
There was something I needed to ask him.
[21:28] Tilt
More importantly, I was going to kill him.
[21:31] Tilt
For the family.
[21:34] Tilt
But I guess...
[21:37] Tilt
It doesn't matter.
[21:53] Finn
The Black Knight?!
[21:57] Leo
Finn!
[23:36] Finn
Next time: "SWEET HOME."
