**[00:13] Leo**
*What's the situation?!*
**[00:14] Vijay**
* It's chaotic with emergency*
* vehicles and evacuees.*
**[00:18] Wendy**
*A terrorist bombing in the state capital?!*
**[00:20] Leo**
*What do they think they're doing?*
**[00:23] Vijay**
This bombing could be a diversion.
**[00:26] Wendy**
Surely you're not saying... There's no way!
**[00:29] Chris**
This is going down right as the three princes
are making a public appearance.
**[00:39] Chris**
But I gotta say... Catching terrorists
isn't a car dealer's job, you know?
**[00:44] Leo**
*Since players are involved,*
**[00:47] Leo**
it is very much so our job.
**[00:49] Leo**
Find them and collect the cards.
**[00:52] Vijay/Wendy**
*Roger.*
**[00:52] Chris**
Roger.
**[00:58] Dylan**
Who are you?
**[01:01] Nhat**
Goodbye.
**[01:09] Chris**
Leo, I found some suspicious guys.
**[01:11] Chris**
It's probably them.
**[01:14] Chris**
Okay, okay. That's enough running.
**[01:16] Chris**
Playing tag is exhausting.
**[01:18] Alexander**
Play.
**[01:31] Leo**
*Chris, are you okay?*
**[01:33] Leo**
*What about the card?*
**[01:34] Chris**
Sorry, it got away.
**[01:53] [SONG] Lyrics**
I am so blind
**[01:55] [SONG] Lyrics**
Still running
**[01:58] [SONG] Lyrics**
Running out of sight
**[02:01] [SONG] Lyrics**
In the night
**[02:02] [SONG] Lyrics**
I'm feeling goosebumps
**[02:06] [SONG] Lyrics**
Betting against the odds again,
I'm being swayed like in a dance
**[02:13] [SONG] Lyrics**
No more Blah Blah Bluff-filled Table
**[02:19] [SONG] Lyrics**
Just tell me how to figure it out
**[02:21] [SONG] Lyrics**
Inside my head, I'm painting the town
**[02:23] [SONG] Lyrics**
Addition is affliction
**[02:24] [SONG] Lyrics**
Something's missing
**[02:25] [SONG] Lyrics**
(Oh you really got me wrong)
**[02:27] [SONG] Lyrics**
I wanna get out so I'm taking a chance
**[02:29] [SONG] Lyrics**
I gotta advance
**[02:30] [SONG] Lyrics**
You know who I am?
**[02:31] [SONG] Lyrics**
I'm a trickster
**[02:33] [SONG] Lyrics**
Just take a chance
**[02:35] [SONG] Lyrics**
Play the game
**[02:36] [SONG] Lyrics**
It sounds insane
**[02:38] [SONG] Lyrics**
Fate smiles at the borderline
**[02:41] [SONG] Lyrics**
Rather than dance to someone else's tune,
I wanna dance to my own.
**[02:48] [SONG] Lyrics**
Yea I'm moving like that
**[02:50] [SONG] Lyrics**
Give it a try
**[02:51] [SONG] Lyrics**
Keep on going down
**[02:52] [SONG] Lyrics**
I just need something real
**[02:55] [SONG] Lyrics**
Then we need no fakes
**[02:58] [SONG] Lyrics**
I'll let my soul be wild and free
**[03:17] Female Reporter**
*And now, more on the terrorist bombing.*
**[03:20] Female Reporter**
* The unexpected tragedy took place at the*
* Royal Museum's bicentennial ceremony,*
**[03:24] Female Reporter**
* where First Prince Dylan,*
* Second Prince Louis, and Third Prince Noah*
**[03:31] Female Reporter**
*were all in attendance.*
**[03:33] Female Reporter**
* It is with deep regret and great sorrow*
* that we report Prince Dylan,*
**[03:38] Female Reporter**
* who was to be coronated in three months,*
* did not survive the attack.*
**[03:43] Female Reporter**
* No one has claimed responsibility*
* for the bombing yet,*
**[03:46] Female Reporter**
* and the city is on high alert*
* due to the baffling situation.*
**[03:54] Sugar**
There's a gag order on the media,
**[03:57] Sugar**
but eyewitnesses are talking
about sudden blasts out of nowhere
**[04:01] Sugar**
and iron and stone walls attacking them.
**[04:05] Young**
That's not for us to worry about.
**[04:07] Sugar**
This again?!
**[04:09] Sugar**
People with bizarre powers are committing
bizarre crimes all over the city.
**[04:13] Sugar**
If we can't investigate,
then what good are the police?!
**[04:16] Sugar**
We're supposed to uphold the law!
**[04:22] Sugar**
I just want the truth.
**[04:27] Young**
There are things you're better off not knowing.
**[04:34] Theodore**
My sincerest condolences, Your Majesty.
**[04:37] Julius**
Theodore, was this incident...
**[04:41] Thoedore**
Yes, it's just as Your Majesty suspects.
**[04:45] Julius**
The bloody struggle that surrounds
the X-Playing Cards...
**[04:49] Julius**
It has repeated many times
throughout the history of Fourland
**[04:53] Julius**
every time the cards fall
into the hands of the heartless.
**[04:57] Julius**
That is why the cards must be contained
for the peace of this country.
**[05:05] Julius**
Their powers are far too great
for humans to handle.
**[05:10] Julius**
We're a little tired.
**[05:13] Julius**
Let us return to our chamber.
**[05:16] Julius**
Listen well.
**[05:18] Julius**
The cards must never take center stage.
**[05:28] Ban**
Why the long face?
**[05:31] Theodore**
Ban... Why are you here?
**[05:34] Ban**
To pay my respects, of course.
**[05:37] Theodore**
How awfully commendable of you.
**[05:39] Theodore**
Did you want to see me in trouble that badly?
**[05:42] Ban**
Oh, yes. You look precious, Theodore.
**[05:47] Theodore**
Why did you kill Prince Dylan?
**[05:49] Theodore**
Must you show off your power so?
**[05:53] Ban**
Cards are meant to be played.
**[05:55] Ban**
Isn't it more fun this way?
**[05:58] Ban**
Putting it all on the table.
Absolutely everything.
**[06:02] Ban**
You should put your cards down too.
**[06:06] Theodore**
You sound as though
you think you have a chance.
**[06:12] Ban**
There's no being in the right here.
**[06:14] Ban**
You should know that better than anyone.
**[06:18] Ban**
It's a matter of pride.
**[06:33] Theodore**
Assemble High Card immediately.
**[06:55] Chris**
Hello?
**[06:56] Bernard**
*A job for you.*
**[06:58] Bernard**
*All members of High Card have been summoned.*
**[07:01] Bernard**
*Could you please come to the store?*
**[07:05] Chris**
All members? Including Finn?
**[07:07] Bernard**
*Finn isn't answering his phone.*
**[07:13] Bernard**
*It's been two weeks now.*
**[07:15] Bernard**
*I'm concerned.*
**[07:18] Bernard**
*I'll be waiting for you.*
**[07:19] Chris**
Understood.
**[07:29] Bernard**
Thank you for coming.
I believe you know why you're all here.
**[07:32] Bernard**
Master Theodore called with an order.
We are to retrieve any cards
**[07:37] Bernard**
with known whereabouts effective immediately.
**[07:40] Leo**
The president ordered that?
**[07:41] Chris**
But why so suddenly?
**[07:43] Bernard**
I'm sure the situation is that dire.
**[07:47] Bernard**
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say
we're in a state of emergency.
**[07:51] Bernard**
Vijay, Wendy, you two go to Silphium.
Master Leo, you shall go to Neville.
**[07:58] Bernard**
Remember, the whereabouts of these
cards are highly confidential.
**[08:01] Bernard**
No one else can find out.
**[08:03] Bernard**
Especially *them*.
**[08:05] Leo**
The Klondikes...
**[08:07] Wendy**
Yesterday's attack was most likely
the doing of their players, wasn't it?
**[08:12] Bernard**
Speculating at this point will do us no good.
**[08:14] Bernard**
I'd like you two to take these.
**[08:16] Bernard**
You should hurry a bit.
**[08:19] Wendy**
The train leaves in an hour?!
**[08:21] Wendy**
We've gotta go, Vijay!
**[08:23] Vijay**
But I don't have my usual overnight kit...
**[08:26] Wendy**
Who cares about that?!
**[08:28] Bernard**
Master Leo?
**[08:29] Leo**
I'll be fine.
**[08:30] Leo**
I understand the mission.
**[08:32] Bernard**
Chris, you will go to Polostick with Finn.
**[08:36] Bernard**
Please take the last train today.
**[08:39] Chris**
With Finn? But he's...
**[08:42] Bernard**
I know he's deeply saddened and hurt
after losing a place he called home.
**[08:47] Bernard**
But there's no reason you can only have
one home sweet home.
**[08:51] Chris**
I didn't sign up to be his babysitter.
**[08:56] Bernard**
You two are buddies. You make a pair.
**[09:00] Chris**
I'm just his mentor.
**[09:10] Bernard**
*Please take care of Finn.*
**[09:17] Chris**
A place to call home, huh?
**[09:51] Lindsey**
Listen, Finn.
**[09:52] Lindsey**
Starting today, this is your home.
**[09:55] Lindsey**
I know your parents were
in a terrible accident,
**[09:59] Lindsey**
but now, everyone at Sun Fields
will be your new family.
**[10:03] Lindsey**
In truth, I'd be much happier
if you didn't come back here at all.
**[10:17] Chris**
Are you alive, Finn?
**[10:20] Finn**
Leave me alone.
**[10:22] Chris**
Oh, you are alive.
**[10:25] Chris**
Old man Bernard called you, didn't he?
**[10:27] Chris**
We got a job.
**[10:28] Finn**
A job?
**[10:31] Finn**
Working's pointless now.
**[10:34] Finn**
No matter how much money I make,
Sun Fields will never...
**[10:39] Finn**
My memories are hazy too.
**[10:42] Finn**
And so... I'm...
**[10:44] Finn**
I can't...
**[10:49] Chris**
Listen, Finn...
**[10:51] Chris**
Is what happened in the past
really that big of a deal?
**[10:56] Finn**
You have no idea what I'm going through.
**[10:59] Chris**
Well, you're not wrong there.
**[11:03] Finn**
I don't have a real family anymore.
**[11:06] Finn**
I trusted Lindsey, but he lied to me...
**[11:09] Chris**
It doesn't have to be family.
**[11:11] Chris**
Whether it's a lover, a friend,
or even an acquaintance...
**[11:17] Chris**
As long as someone's with you,
you're not alone, right?
**[11:22] Finn**
That's just quibbling.
**[11:24] Chris**
Maybe.
**[11:26] Chris**
But I'm saying, Finn,
**[11:28] Chris**
that the least I can do is
stick with you from time to time.
**[11:33] Chris**
That way, you won't be alone.
**[11:37] Chris**
The old man says we're buddies.
That the two of us make a pair.
**[11:44] Chris**
Isn't that hilarious?
**[11:45] Finn**
Buddies?
**[11:47] Finn**
We're just colleagues.
**[11:50] Chris**
I know, right?
**[11:52] Chris**
Say, Finn.
**[11:54] Chris**
You have to stop thinking,
"If not for me..." or, "If I hadn't been there..."
**[12:00] Chris**
If you put yourself in that position,
**[12:02] Chris**
you'll get to feeling like nothing
matters and do something stupid.
**[12:08] Chris**
And the truth is, Finn...
**[12:11] Chris**
I don't want you to end up that way.
**[12:16] Chris**
It wasn't your fault.
That's all I came to say.
**[12:20] Chris**
Anyhoo, I can handle this job myself.
**[12:24] Chris**
See ya.
**[12:25] Chris**
Make sure you get plenty of calories!
**[12:42] Finn**
Chris...
**[12:50] Jasper**
Nhât used us and took credit for everything.
**[12:53] Jasper**
That really pisses me off!
**[12:55] Jasper**
We're Klondike Family players too, you know?!
**[13:01] Jasper**
Damn it, I'm so pissed!
**[13:02] Alexander**
Yeah, I'm pissed.
**[13:04] Jasper**
Let's do it! We're really gonna do it!
**[13:06] Jasper**
Right, Alex?!
**[13:07] Alexander**
Yeah, we will.
**[13:11] Hostess A**
Okay, where's the menu?
**[13:12] Hostess B**
Here you go!
**[13:15] Hostess B**
You fellas wanna order more?
**[13:19] Alexander**
Is this for us?
**[13:21] Hostess B**
Huh? What is that?
**[13:24] Jasper**
This must be...
**[13:30] Bernard**
I hope this allows for even
the slightest bit of progress.
**[13:36] Staff**
Here you go.
Three Fudgees and one orange juice.
**[13:39] Chris**
Oh, and don't forget this.
**[13:42] Staff**
Sure thing.
**[13:47] Train Station Pa**
* The sleeper train Occidental, bound*
* for Acorn Field, will depart soon.*
**[13:52] Train Station Pa**
*Passengers are advised to board immediately.*
**[13:59] Finn**
I made it!
**[14:01] Chris**
Finn... You sure you're up for this?
**[14:03] Finn**
Yup! I got plenty of calories, so I'm good.
**[14:06] Finn**
Come on. Let's get on, Chris.
**[14:10] Chris**
Sure.
**[14:22] Finn**
Aya Tawawa, age 48.
**[14:25] Finn**
She's in possession of the jack of clubs,
**[14:27] Finn**
with a power called "Coming Home."
**[14:30] Finn**
So this is who we're up against?
**[14:32] Chris**
Yup, she's our target.
**[14:36] Chris**
By the way... why did you decide to come?
**[14:42] Finn**
Chris, you said we were buddies.
**[14:49] Finn**
I was scared.
**[14:51] Finn**
I blamed myself for what
happened to Sun Fields.
**[14:54] Finn**
Because of me, the important
place I wanted to protect was...
**[14:59] Finn**
Ever since that day, I've felt like
just moving would destroy me, so...
**[15:09] Finn**
But you told me it wasn't my fault.
**[15:15] Finn**
And then I could move again.
**[15:18] Chris**
Even though "just a colleague" said it?
**[15:20] Finn**
Put a sock in it.
**[15:22] Finn**
As long as I keep moving,
I don't have to think about anything else.
**[15:26] Finn**
Because I don't have a home to go back to.
**[15:30] Chris**
You can go home anytime.
**[15:32] Chris**
I'm sure Lindsey is waiting for you.
**[15:34] Finn**
He said it'd be better if I didn't come back.
**[15:37] Chris**
What?
**[15:38] Finn**
I earned all that money for him, and yet...
**[15:44] Chris**
Let me tell you something
as your mentor, little baby Finn.
**[15:48] Chris**
Adults are complicated.
**[15:50] Chris**
You have to get what goes into what they
say in order to get your head around 'em.
**[15:54] Finn**
What's that mean?
**[15:56] Chris**
You'll understand when you grow up.
**[16:06] Chris**
Wake up, Finn.
**[16:08] Chris**
We're almost there.
**[16:14] Chris**
It's a hike from the station.
**[16:16] Chris**
I hope we can catch a cab.
**[16:18] Chris**
Hmm?
**[16:21] Jasper**
Don't get off just yet.
**[16:23] Jasper**
"Metallical Parade"!
**[16:27] Finn**
A player who wields metal?!
**[16:30] Chris**
You're that guy from...
**[16:31] Jasper**
I don't know where you're going,
but we need a word with you.
**[16:36] Jasper**
So quit yapping and get back to your car.
**[16:39] Chris**
You just said "we."
**[16:41] Chris**
Is the big guy from the other day with you?
**[16:43] Jasper**
Shut up!
**[16:44] Jasper**
I told you to get moving!
**[16:52] Jasper**
It was just like we were told.
**[16:54] Jasper**
We wait at the station, and you show up.
**[16:57] Jasper**
I don't know who tipped us off,
but I guess this means we have fans now.
**[17:04] Jasper**
The Klondike Family
is a bazillion years ahead of you!
**[17:09] Chris**
Ah, I knew you were a Klondike.
**[17:13] Jasper**
Y-You walked me into that!
**[17:16] Chris**
You walked into it yourself.
**[17:18] Jasper**
I don't know what you came here for,
but it doesn't matter!
**[17:24] Jasper**
Your cards! Hand over your cards!
**[17:26] Jasper**
If we turn them over to the boss,
we'll move up in the family!
**[17:30] Jasper**
That's the idea!
**[17:31] Jasper**
So hurry up and—
**[17:32] Chris**
Pass.
**[17:35] Chris**
That's pointless.
**[17:37] Chris**
You know what my "Calorie's High" does.
**[17:40] Jasper**
But... O-Okay then, how
about the kid over there?!
**[17:44] Jasper**
Not to mention the passengers.
**[17:47] Jasper**
My partner's gonna drop a ginormous
rock on the rails at the bridge up ahead.
**[17:51] Finn**
The train'll crash into it and
everyone aboard will go splat!
**[17:54] Jasper**
You hear me? Splat!
**[17:56] Finn**
You'd involve people who've
got nothing to do with this?!
**[17:59] Jasper**
Huh?
**[18:00] Jasper**
They have nothing to do with *you*.
Not a damn thing!
**[18:03] Jasper**
So what do you care?
**[18:06] Jasper**
Now, if you do what I say,
I'll tell Alex not to drop the rock.
**[18:12] Chris**
Ah, so the guy with
the 5 of clubs is Alex, huh?
**[18:15] Jasper**
That's Alexander Alekson to you!
**[18:17] Jasper**
You don't get to use his nickname!
**[18:19] Chris**
Okay, okay.
**[18:21] Chris**
Can I ask you a question,
Mr. Friend of Alex's?
**[18:25] Jasper**
Are you joking with me right now?!
**[18:27] Jasper**
I'm Jasper Libera, damn you!
**[18:29] Jasper**
I'm really gonna get mad!
**[18:31] Chris**
Wow, you're so scary.
**[18:32] Finn**
H-Hey, Chris...
**[18:34] Chris**
Now, Jasper, I have to admit using
the passengers as hostages is a good idea.
**[18:40] Jasper**
I know, right?
**[18:41] Chris**
But endangering *everyone*
on the train includes you, doesn't it?
**[18:47] Finn**
Come on. I'm sure they thought through—
**[18:48] Jasper**
Shit!
**[18:50] Jasper**
What am I gonna do? You're totally right.
**[18:53] Jasper**
I'm here too.
**[18:54] Jasper**
Damn, this is bad...
**[18:54] Finn**
Seriously?
**[18:55] Chris**
There you have it, Finn.
**[18:58] Chris**
There's nothing behind their threat.
**[19:03] Jasper**
A-Are you saying you don't care
what happens to the passengers?!
**[19:07] Chris**
They have nothing to do with me.
So what do I care?
**[19:11] Chris**
Y'know?
**[19:12] Jasper**
A-Are you serious?
**[19:14] Chris**
Plus, if you die, I can take your card.
**[19:17] Chris**
And if I snatch Alex's, that's two.
**[19:19] Jasper**
Th-Then what about him?!
**[19:23] Chris**
Even if Finn dies,
Pinochle won't be losing a card.
**[19:27] Chris**
If I get two cards in exchange,
it's not a bad deal.
**[19:31] Jasper**
You're bluffing!
**[19:32] Jasper**
You can't mean that!
**[19:33] Chris**
In that case, suit yourself.
**[19:36] Finn**
Chris, are you serious?
**[19:39] Chris**
Sorry, Finn. I'm asking you
to lay down your life.
**[19:49] Alexander**
Here it comes.
**[19:51] Jasper**
C-Crap, we're running out of time.
**[19:53] Jasper**
No, I still have the upper hand.
**[19:56] Jasper**
Give it!
**[19:57] Jasper**
Give me the card and apologize!
**[19:59] Chris**
You'd better get off the train.
**[20:01] Finn**
Chris!
**[20:02] Finn**
The bridge!
**[20:06] Jasper**
Ugh! You're pissing me off!
**[20:15] Jasper**
I won't let you make a fool of me!
**[20:17] Jasper**
Who'll brake first in this game of chicken?!
**[20:23] Alexander**
Play! "G Round"!
**[20:31] Jasper**
Y-You idiot!
**[20:34] Finn**
Play! "Neo New Nambu"!
**[20:37] Jasper**
That's enough outta you!
**[20:48] Jasper**
You kicked your own friend off.
**[20:51] Jasper**
Whoa!
**[20:53] Jasper**
L-Let me go!
**[20:54] Jasper**
L-Let me...
**[20:57] Jasper**
N-No... Don't let go. Please don't do it.
**[21:11] Chris**
Are we not gonna make it?
**[21:14] Jasper**
This is bad, this is bad, this is bad...
But I gotta do it!
**[21:17] Jasper**
"Metallical Parade"!
**[21:19] Jasper**
Hot, hot, hot!
**[21:37] Chris**
I found you, 5 of clubs.
**[21:42] Jasper**
Don't underestimate Jasper Libera.
**[21:44] Jasper**
Just don't!
**[21:46] Jasper**
I'm not gonna let you run amok.
**[22:05] [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: "TO BE APART."
