[00:03] Auctioneer
    Once upon a time, when Trapla
     was still divided into four lands,
[00:10] Auctioneer
    evil soldiers from beyond the sea
    came to conquer the island.
[00:18] Auctioneer
    They stole food and preyed on the people,
    leaving our peaceful island in ruins.
[00:26] Auctioneer
    But then, a mage appeared alongside
     a young boy with a message...
[00:34] Auctioneer
    "This boy is the true king of Trapla.
[00:38] Auctioneer
    If you wish to save the island, choose
    thirteen knights from each of the four lands
[00:44] Auctioneer
    and fight by his side."
[00:46] Auctioneer
    In the end, an army of 52 knights was formed
     from the four lands to save the island,
[00:53] Auctioneer
    and the mage gifted each of them
     a mysterious card.
[00:57] Auctioneer
    As a token of their fealty to the boy,
    the knights swore a blood oath.
[01:05] Auctioneer
    They fought with all their might
    for the island and their families,
[01:12] Auctioneer
    yet every one perished on the battlefield,
    unable to fulfill their mission.
[01:18] Auctioneer
    But that did not stop
    their purpose from living on.
[01:22] Auctioneer
    Their love for the land was transferred
     to their cards via the mage's power.
[01:30] Auctioneer
    Thus the boy gained mysterious
    powers from all 52 cards,
[01:35] Auctioneer
    and went on to defeat the evil soldiers
    and protect the island.
[01:40] Auctioneer
    That was how he united the four lands
    and became the first king of Fourland.
[01:50] Auctioneer
    This famous legend, "The King and
    the 52 Knights," is not just a fairy tale.
[01:58] Auctioneer
    It is historical fact that Trapla Island
    faced the grave danger of invasion.
[02:05] Auctioneer
    The 52 cards created as symbols
    of the king's reign over the four lands
[02:10] Auctioneer
    are also real!
[02:16] Auctioneer
    And one such traditional masterpiece
    that has watched over the history of Fourland
[02:21] Auctioneer
    will grace us aboard this luxury
    cruise ship, the Queen Black Lady!
[02:29] Auctioneer
    Now, let us raise the curtain on
     this exquisite dinner party and auction
[02:34] Auctioneer
    for all you sophisticated
     ladies and gentlemen!
[02:47] [SONG] Lyrics
    I am so blind
[02:49] [SONG] Lyrics
    Still running
[02:52] [SONG] Lyrics
    Running out of sight
[02:55] [SONG] Lyrics
    In the night
[02:56] [SONG] Lyrics
    I'm feeling goosebumps
[03:00] [SONG] Lyrics
    Betting against the odds again,
    I'm being swayed like in a dance
[03:07] [SONG] Lyrics
    No more Blah Blah Bluff-filled Table
[03:13] [SONG] Lyrics
    Just tell me how to figure it out
[03:15] [SONG] Lyrics
    Inside my head, I'm painting the town
[03:17] [SONG] Lyrics
    Addition is affliction
[03:18] [SONG] Lyrics
    Something's missing
[03:19] [SONG] Lyrics
    (Oh you really got me wrong)
[03:21] [SONG] Lyrics
    I wanna get out so I'm taking a chance
[03:23] [SONG] Lyrics
    I gotta advance
[03:24] [SONG] Lyrics
    You know who I am?
[03:25] [SONG] Lyrics
    I'm a trickster
[03:27] [SONG] Lyrics
    Just take a chance
[03:29] [SONG] Lyrics
    Play the game
[03:30] [SONG] Lyrics
    It sounds insane
[03:32] [SONG] Lyrics
    Fate smiles at the borderline
[03:35] [SONG] Lyrics
    Rather than dance to someone else's tune,
    I wanna dance to my own.
[03:42] [SONG] Lyrics
    Yea I'm moving like that
[03:43] [SONG] Lyrics
    Give it a try
[03:45] [SONG] Lyrics
    Keep on going down
[03:46] [SONG] Lyrics
    I just need something real
[03:49] [SONG] Lyrics
    Then we need no fakes
[03:52] [SONG] Lyrics
    I'll let my soul be wild and free
[04:18] Female Reporter
    Dear guests, we hope you're enjoying your
    time aboard our dinner cruise ship.
[04:22] Female Reporter
    Next up, we'll interview Norman Kingstat,
[04:25] Female Reporter
    the CEO of the up-and-coming
    car manufacturer Who's Who.
[04:31] Female Reporter
    Hello, Norman.
[04:32] Norman
    It's "King."
[04:33] Female Reporter
    Huh?
[04:34] Norman
    I'd like for you to call me King.
    So please address me as such, hmm?
[04:41] Female Reporter
    Er, certainly... K-King it is, then.
[04:44] Female Reporter
    S-So, King, what inspired you
    to attend today's auction—
[04:48] Norman
    Do you think I could have resisted,
[04:51] Norman
    knowing that a treasure of
    Fourland would be on display?!
[04:54] Female Reporter
    Um, well...
[04:56] Norman
    The answer is no!
[04:58] Norman
    Absolutely not!
[05:00] Norman
    There is no one else who loves
    and is loved by this country like me!
[05:06] Female Reporter
    I-I see.
[05:08] Female Reporter
    We expect a fierce competition
    over the featured treasure.
[05:11] Female Reporter
    How confident are you—
[05:13] Norman
    What a ridiculous question!
[05:16] Norman
    You shall see!
[05:17] Norman
    That card 100 percent belongs to me, King!
[05:27] Finn
    So this guy's after the card too?
[05:31] Chris
    Yup, he is.
[05:34] Finn
    How come?
[05:35] Chris
    Beats me.
[05:36] Finn
    You don't know?
[05:38] Vijay
    It might have something to do with the fact
    that he sees our president as an enemy.
[05:44] Wendy
    The whole lot of them are tricky.
[05:46] Wendy
    Especially Norman's secretaries,
    Blist Blitz Broadhurst and Brandy Blumenthal.
[05:52] Wendy
    These two are players,
    so we need to be cautious...
[05:57] Wendy
    Hey, are you listening?
[05:58] Finn
    I am.
[05:59] Wendy
    Are you okay?
[06:00] Vijay
    For today's mission,
[06:02] Vijay
    we're supposed to outwit everybody on board
    and swap the real card with this fake.
[06:10] Chris
    Who would've thought you'd get seasick?
[06:12] Finn
    Shut up...
[06:14] Chris
    Whoa there!
[06:14] Wendy
    Hey! Knock it off!
[06:16] Vijay
    Here you are, Finn.
[06:18] Finn
    Thanks.
[06:20] Finn
    Anyway, this mission
    is essentially a heist, right?
[06:24] Finn
    And that's all fine and dandy?
[06:26] Leo
    It's fine.
[06:28] Leo
    The Pinochles have secretly protected
    the cards throughout Fourland's history.
[06:32] Leo
    All without putting ourselves
     in the spotlight.
[06:34] Vijay
    Besides, fighting for it in an auction with
     no bidding limit wouldn't be ideal.
[06:40] Leo
    The cards belong to the royal family.
[06:42] Leo
    We're just returning them
     to their rightful owner.
[06:46] Chris
    In other words, there's nothing wrong
    with what we're doing in principle.
[06:49] Leo
    Before you joined us, the card being
    auctioned today was already secured,
[06:54] Leo
    and housed at Trapla Palace.
[06:56] Finn
    Yeah, I heard.
[06:58] Chris
    But the Klondikes raided the palace,
[07:01] Chris
    and the cards were scattered
    all over Fourland. Just like that.
[07:06] Leo
    We're still investigating how
     they ended up like that, but...
[07:13] Leo
    You don't look too well.
[07:15] Finn
    It's nothing, really—
[07:19] Leo
    Looks like we'll have to change the plan.
[07:21] Finn
    Hold on!
[07:23] Finn
    I can do this!
[07:24] Leo
    This mission requires bold
    yet delicate execution.
[07:29] Leo
    The smallest blunder could ruin it all.
[07:31] Leo
    In the worst-case scenario,
    we'll all wind up with criminal charges.
[07:34] Leo
    We can't have your vomitus
    soiling Pinochle's reputation—
[07:39] Chris
    C'mon, Finn says he can do it.
[07:42] Chris
    Why don't we trust him?
[07:43] Leo
    You want me to trust this guy?
[07:45] Chris
    A capable boss should be able to manage
    even the most troublesome subordinate,
[07:49] Chris
    don't you agree?
[07:52] Leo
    Fine.
[07:55] Chris
    And if worse comes to worst,
    I'll take responsibility as his mentor.
[08:00] Chris
    Boil me! Burn me! Hang me! Filet me!
     Whatever you'd like!
[08:04] Wendy
    But you're immortal.
[08:13] Leo
    Very well.
[08:16] Leo
    We will now begin the mission.
[08:19] Bidder 1
    Fifteen thousand!
[08:21] Bidder 2
    Twenty!
[08:22] Bidder 3
    Twenty-three thousand!
[08:23] Auctioneer
    We're at twenty-three thousand.
[08:25] Auctioneer
    The item is lot number 20, a ceremonial
     sword owned by a knight of Spada.
[08:30] Auctioneer
    Do I hear any other bids?
[08:31] Bidder 4
    Twenty-four thousand!
[08:33] Bidder 5
    Twenty-six thousand!
[08:34] Norman
    I hope you don't mind me taking the card.
[08:36] Bidder 6
    Twenty-nine thousand!
[08:39] Leo
    Suit yourself.
[08:39] Bidder 7
    Thirty-three thousand!
[08:41] Auctioneer
    We're at 33,000!
[08:42] Auctioneer
    Any other takers?
[08:44] Norman
    Fifty thousand.
[08:46] Auctioneer
    Fifty thousand!
[08:47] Auctioneer
    We have 50,000!
[08:48] Auctioneer
    Do I hear any other bids?
[08:50] Norman
    This is just a warmup.
[08:51] Auctioneer
    Anyone?
[08:52] Auctioneer
    Lot 20 is sold!
    To the gentleman with number one!
[08:58] Leo
    Let's go over the plan one more time.
[09:01] Leo
    Finn's up first.
[09:03] Leo
    You'll steal the key from the supervisor.
[09:07] Supervisor
    Hurry up. We need to prepare
    lots 23 and 24 simultaneously.
[09:11] Supervisor
    Do you read me, transport team?
[09:17] Supervisor
    Hey, what gives?
[09:18] Finn
    I'm sorry... I got seasick.
[09:20] Finn
    I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
[09:37] Wendy
    May I take this?
[09:38] Vijay
    Certainly.
[09:58] Leo
    Next up is Wendy.
[10:00] Leo
    She'll get security into a cabin
     with a staged accident.
[10:09] Wendy
    I'm so sorry!
[10:11] Carrier
    Oh, don't worry about it.
[10:13] Carrier
    Are you hurt, miss?
[10:19] Wendy
    I really am sorry.
[10:21] Wendy
    Please use the shower in my cabin.
[10:23] Wendy
    There's no way you can
    go back to work like this.
[10:27] Carrier
    B-But...
[10:28] Wendy
    I can't just turn a blind eye.
[10:30] Carrier
    N-No, thank you—
[10:30] Wendy
    Please, do come in.
[10:42] Leo
    Vijay is up next.
[10:44] Leo
    Your "Green Green" will come in handy.
[11:02] Wendy
    Hey, are you done yet?
[11:04] Vijay
    Not yet.
[11:05] Vijay
    I need you to buy me some more time.
[11:07] Vijay
    Much obliged.
[11:08] Wendy
    Wait... Seriously?!
[11:12] Carrier
    Thank you very much!
[11:14] Carrier
    Is something the matter?
[11:18] Wendy
    Would you like a drink?
[11:20] Wendy
    While we wait for your clothes to dry, I mean.
[11:23] Carrier
    No, I couldn't possibly—
[11:26] Wendy
    O-Oh, don't be shy!
[11:28] Wendy
    So, how about it?
[11:30] Carrier
    Well, I really shouldn't—
[11:34] Vijay
    I've obtained the security card.
[11:37] Leo
    Good.
[11:37] Leo
    You're up last, Chris.
[11:40] Leo
    Grab the 5 of diamonds from the vault.
[11:45] Guard A
    Now show me your security card.
[11:49] Guard A
    What's the matter?
[11:50] Guard A
    Where's your card?
[11:56] Chris
    Psych! Did I fool you?
[12:00] Guard A
    Stop messing around and get moving already!
[12:02] Chris
    Okay.
[13:18] Auctioneer
    Now, everyone!
[13:20] Auctioneer
    This next item is the last of our collection
    of artifacts from the folklore of Fourland.
[13:24] Auctioneer
    It's our grand finale!
[13:27] Norman
    A prestigious treasure should be handled
    with all the brilliant grace it deserves.
[13:33] Norman
    And that is why I shall
     win this bid, fair and square!
[13:42] Leo
    What's the status?
[13:43] Vijay
    Not too bad.
[13:48] Vijay
    You're doing it again.
[13:51] Leo
    Sitting idly by is harder than I expected.
[13:57] Brandy
    Excuse me, King.
[14:03] Norman
    I realize this is a sudden request,
    but why don't we take a little break here?
[14:07] Auctioneer
    What? But we're about
    to unveil the legendary card—
[14:10] Norman
    Why don't you just zip it?
[14:12] Norman
    King requires a bathroom break.
[14:17] Vijay
    I guess he couldn't hold it in.
[14:47] Chris
    Now you've done it, Blist!
[14:52] Blist
    Switching the genuine article with a fake?
[14:55] Blist
    What a cheap trick.
[15:00] Norman
    What's happening with
    the sneaky thieving rats?
[15:03] Brandy
    Blist will dispose of them momentarily.
[15:06] Norman
    Very good!
[15:08] Norman
    I'll take them on
     straight-up, head-on, all-out.
[15:12] Norman
    Our skills and expertise
     will make those brats cry!
[15:19] Auctioneer
    Everyone, please calm down and stay seated!
[15:22] Leo
    What's going on?
[15:34] Chris
    Your "Million Volt" is pretty electrifying.
[15:46] Leo
    Hey, what's going on?!
[15:48] Leo
    Answer me!
[15:49] Leo
    Chris, what's the situation?!
[15:52] Leo
    Wendy, Finn! What's happening?!
[15:55] Leo
    Wendy!
[15:56] Wendy
    It's dark in here!
[16:00] Finn
    Th-This is Finn...
[16:02] Finn
    I'll go check out what's happening.
[16:05] Leo
    Finn!
[16:05] Leo
    Are you sure you're okay?
[16:07] Finn
    Probably...
[16:10] Norman
    Oh, do calm down!
[16:13] Norman
    Thank you for waiting, everyone.
[16:15] Norman
    Let's resume the auction, shall we?
[16:18] Auctioneer
    P-Pardon, but because of the situation,
    the final item has not yet arrived—
[16:23] Norman
    No problem!
[16:25] Norman
    My eyes can clearly see
     the brilliant X-Playing...
[16:30] Norman
    I mean, extremely brilliant card!
[16:34] Norman
    I'm starting the bid at 500 thousand!
[16:36] Norman
    Is there anyone here
    with the backbone to outbid me?
[16:41] Norman
    If so, come forward! Come! Come now!
[16:43] Auctioneer
    Excuse me, sir—
[16:45] Leo
    Six hundred thousand.
[16:47] Vijay
    L-Leo, we shouldn't do anything
    reckless until we know more.
[16:52] Leo
    A cheap provocation,
    as expected from Who's Who.
[16:55] Leo
    This one is going to cost you!
[17:09] Blist
    Give up.
[17:11] Blist
    This card will be transported
    to the auction hall as scheduled.
[17:15] Blist
    That's what King wishes.
[17:18] Chris
    We're definitely taking that card.
[17:22] Finn
    Yeah, as members of High Card!
[17:27] Chris
    Finn?! What are you doing here?!
[17:29] Finn
    I came to help you, of course.
[17:32] Finn
    Now get away from Chris—
[17:38] Blist
    Pinochle's rookie, huh?
[17:39] Blist
    You don't look so good.
[17:42] Blist
    Now, we're through playing cops and robbers!
[17:46] Norman
    I bid 1.5 million.
[17:48] Leo
    I bid 1.6 million.
[17:49] Norman
    I bid 1.8 million!
[17:50] Leo
    I bid 1.85 million!
[17:51] Norman
    I bid 1.9 million!
[17:52] Vijay
    Leo, let's stay calm. Leo!
[17:53] Leo
    Two million... No, 2.1 million!
[18:03] Norman
    In that case, I bid 2.4 million!
[18:06] Leo
    Three million!
[18:07] Auctioneer
    Th-Three million?!
[18:09] Auctioneer
    We have three million!
[18:11] Norman
    Well, look at you.
[18:14] Leo
    "Losing" isn't part
    of the Pinochle vocabulary!
[18:19] Blist
    Come on. Hurry it up.
[18:30] Chris
    Okay, Blist. I lose.
[18:33] Finn
    Don't do it, Chris—
[18:35] Chris
    However, our boss isn't gonna
     lose to your "King"...
[18:40] Chris
    and that's a fact!
[18:45] Finn
    Hold up!
[18:53] Norman
    Ten million!
[19:01] Auctioneer
    But wait!
[19:02] Auctioneer
    As if in response to King's summon,
    today's final item has arrived at last.
[19:06] Auctioneer
    Behold one of the legendary cards
    spoken of in the mythos of Fourland!
[19:11] Auctioneer
    The bid now stands at ten million!
[19:14] Auctioneer
    Do I hear any other takers?
[19:14] Leo
    M-Me! I'll—
[19:22] Auctioneer
    Sold for ten million!
[19:25] Auctioneer
    The legendary artifact goes to...
[19:29] Norman
    Tonight's card belongs to me, King!
[19:36] Norman
    As they say... money is power!
[19:43] Norman
    Hmm?
[19:49] Norman
    What?!
[19:57] Nhat
    Power is power.
[19:58] Nhat
    The strong prevail.
[20:00] Nhat
    That's how this world works.
[20:11] Norman
    What the...
[20:14] Norman
    What the hell was that?!
[20:22] Female Reporter
    This is a follow-up report on the incident
    aboard the luxury liner
Queen Black Lady*.
[20:27] Female Reporter
    Regarding the auction being held on the ship,
[20:30] Female Reporter
    we interviewed the CEO of Who's Who,
    Mr. Norman Kingstat, who was in attendance.
[20:33] Vijay
    I wish they'd let this go.
[20:35] Vijay
    Everyone's talking about it.
[20:35] Female Reporter
    We also revealed some*
    of his suspicious conduct...
[20:37] Leo
    I never expected them to take such
    a daring, unabashed measure.
[20:39] Leo
    That was a lack of foresight on my part.
[20:41] Wendy
    Do you mean Norman, or...
[20:44] Finn
    Or could you mean the real culprit was...
[20:47] Chris
    Nine outta ten, it was the Klondikes.
[20:50] Chris
    They can be so pushy, you know?
[20:52] Leo
    This is no laughing matter.
[20:53] Leo
    The card was stolen.
[20:56] Chris
    My bad!
[20:57] Leo
    Just who do you think is responsible
     for the failure of this mission?
[21:01] Vijay
    Was that heated bidding war part of the plan?
[21:11] Norman
    Ban! How dare he ruin my elegant
    victory in such a vile manner?!
[21:17] Norman
    But the fact remains
    that I outbid that Pinochle brat!
[21:21] Norman
    So how come no one is talking about it?!
    There's no mention of it anywhere!
[21:25] Norman
    Blist! Get me an exclusive interview!
[21:29] Norman
    Tell the press to do an in-depth
    report on King's victory!
[21:34] Norman
    Wait, where did Blist go?
[21:37] Brandy
    He's on a paid leave today.
[21:40] Norman
    Paid leave?
[21:41] Norman
    Oh, as I recall, today is
     parents' day at his kid's school.
[21:45] Norman
    Even King cannot take away
    the rights granted to his workers.
[21:50] Norman
    Now, I can't afford to dwell on the past.
[21:54] Norman
    Next time, I will meet the enemy
    head-on and beat him thoroughly!
[22:04] [SONG] Lyrics
    We move on, kicking away a crisis
[22:09] [SONG] Lyrics
    Dare to cause a dramatic upset
[22:18] [SONG] Lyrics
    To those of you in the safe zone
    who hate to rock the boat
[22:23] [SONG] Lyrics
    Over here, I'm barely surviving today
[22:26] [SONG] Lyrics
    In exchange for my MP
[22:29] [SONG] Lyrics
    I can't cool down this burning passion
[22:32] [SONG] Lyrics
    Bring it, weak-ass monsters!
[22:36] [SONG] Lyrics
    With that said, my knees are shaking
[22:40] [SONG] Lyrics
    But I still dream on
[22:42] [SONG] Lyrics
    Because I don't want to make myself a liar
[22:46] [SONG] Lyrics
    (Are you all ready?)
[22:49] [SONG] Lyrics
    And don't be afraid
[22:51] [SONG] Lyrics
    Let's get sassy
[22:53] [SONG] Lyrics
    I'm sharpening the senses I lost
[22:56] [SONG] Lyrics
    Repeating a desperate act to get in the zone
[23:01] [SONG] Lyrics
    We move on, welcoming any phenomenon
[23:05] [SONG] Lyrics
    I challenge myself on the lifeline I run on
[23:12] [SONG] Lyrics
    Please let it slide if I take a huge tumble
[23:15] [SONG] Lyrics
    I smile as I go, dedicating my whole life
[23:20] [SONG] Lyrics
    That's why I get serious
[23:23] [SONG] Lyrics
    So I can leave my tracks
[23:25] [SONG] Lyrics
    Shake up the destiny in my hand
[23:36] Finn
    Next time: "LOVE & FAKE."
