[00:13] ---
    A sound "soul"
[00:16] ---
    dwells within a sound mind
[00:18] ---
    and a sound body.
[00:40] ---
    I’ve come to make a deal.
[00:41] ---
    I've... come to make a deal.
[00:59] ---
    I'm Falling
[01:00] ---
    Down Into My Shadow
[01:03] ---
    I'm holding my breath
[01:07] ---
    and waiting Deadly Night
[01:10] ---
    Don't Scary
[01:12] ---
    If you want it
[01:15] ---
    you can see for yourself
[01:19] ---
    any world at all
[01:23] ---
    See you in your dreams Yeah Baby
[01:28] ---
    even if they're bad dreams
[01:34] ---
    Fairy Blue for you
[01:38] ---
    I destroyed the stars
[01:41] ---
    and hung up a
[01:44] ---
    Black Paper Moon
[01:46] ---
    if you believe in me!
[01:50] ---
    When You're
[01:51] ---
    Lost "Here" I am...
[01:54] ---
    "Forever" With Your Soul
[01:57] ---
    If you look up I'll be there shining
[02:01] ---
    like the moon
[02:33] ---
    She's here. Even with her
    Soul Protect on, I can sense her.

[02:38] ---
    Medusa is on the other side of this door...
[02:43] ---
    Is someone there?
[02:46] ---
    I'm thirsty. Do you think
    I could have a cup of water?
[02:50] ---
    She's the one who...
[02:57] ---
    Medusa!
[02:58] ---
    Oh, it's a girl's voice!
    Is there something I can do for you?
[03:04] ---
    It's your fault!
[03:06] ---
    What are you talking about?
    I don't know what you mean.
[03:10] ---
    It's your fault that Crona was hurt!
[03:13] ---
    Oh, are you a friend of
    Crona? Is Crona doing well?
[03:18] ---
    I know you've been using
    Crona this entire time!
[03:22] ---
    I was worried. Crona is a
    bit faint-hearted, you see.
[03:27] ---
    How can you make Crona do those
    things?! And you call yourself a parent?!
[03:31] ---
    I'd love to see Crona if I could.
    We haven't seen each other in so long.
[03:38] ---
    Don't play innocent.
[03:39] ---
    But what would Crona say
    upon seeing the form I'm in now?
[03:44] ---
    I said don't play innocent!
[03:48] ---
    Calm down, Maka.
[03:50] ---
    Just forget about it.
[03:52] ---
    There's no way we can expect a straight
    conversation from someone like her.
[03:57] ---
    Hey, Medusa.
[03:58] ---
    Have fun spending the rest of
    your life in that pitch-dark prison cell.
[04:01] ---
    It'll suit your death perfectly.
[04:05] ---
    Let's go.
[04:16] ---
    Sorry, but I don't think it's
    going to turn out that way.
[04:22] ---
    Right, Dr. Stein?
[04:33] ---
    "The Cards are Cut...
    Medusa Surrenders to the DWMA?"

[04:39] ---
    What a surprise.
[04:42] ---
    Who would've guessed that Medusa was alive
[04:45] ---
    and that she would surrender
    herself to DWMA...
[04:49] ---
    I'm sorry.
[04:52] ---
    I was certain that we
    had defeated her then, but...
[04:57] ---
    Well, this is a witch we're dealing with.
    Anything's possible with them.
[05:03] ---
    The real problem is what happens now.
[05:06] ---
    We're dealing with Medusa.
    She's one tough and tricky customer.
[05:14] ---
    Why have you come here?
[05:17] ---
    To see you.
[05:19] ---
    Do you really think you
    can leave safe and sound?
[05:23] ---
    The world is always in motion.
[05:26] ---
    Besides, you know I'm not the type
    of woman to take on a fight I can't win.
[05:34] ---
    I wonder.
[05:35] ---
    Are you all right, Dr. Stein?
    Your voice is trembling.
[05:41] ---
    Poor thing. The madness is
    continuing to eat away at you.
[05:46] ---
    Is this really the time
    to worry about others?
[05:49] ---
    I need you...
[05:54] ---
    So come with me...
[05:56] ---
    I somehow doubt you came all this
    way and surrendered just to say that.
[06:01] ---
    As long as you're bound by
    discipline and order, you can't be helped.
[06:06] ---
    Join me.
[06:08] ---
    Together, we can witness
    the moment a new world is born!
[06:14] ---
    The time is near... Join me...
[06:20] ---
    I...
[06:21] ---
    I'm sorry to interrupt your fun.
[06:25] ---
    Go home, Stein.
    You're supposed to be under house arrest.
[06:38] ---
    You're coming with me, Medusa.
[06:44] ---
    Where are you taking me?
[06:48] ---
    You're going to interrogate
    me, Death Scythe?
[06:54] ---
    Why do I have to wear this,
    Mister? It gives my hands ouchies!
[07:01] ---
    Give it up. I won't fall for that.
[07:04] ---
    Oh, but you talked to me.
    I'd call that progress.
[07:11] ---
    I'll have you talking soon enough.
[07:22] ---
    Now, then. Shall we begin?
[07:25] ---
    Your empty threats won't work on me.
[07:29] ---
    You can't do anything to
    this body that I've borrowed.
[07:37] ---
    She's taken everything
    into consideration, huh?

[07:43] ---
    As a parent yourself, you know
    you should give that body back.
[07:48] ---
    I'm only borrowing it until I've
    stored up enough magic power.
[07:51] ---
    I'll give it back someday.
[07:53] ---
    There's not even a shred of decency in you.
[07:56] ---
    Oh, is it really nice to say that?
[07:59] ---
    I might just end up being
    your savior, you know.
[08:03] ---
    Huh?
[08:04] ---
    I have information DWMA
    would consider valuable.
[08:09] ---
    Information?
[08:12] ---
    I request a meeting with Death.
[08:15] ---
    Don't be stupid! You know we
    can't accept a request like that!
[08:21] ---
    Do you think we'd believe any
    information you gave us anyway?
[08:25] ---
    I thought you might say that.
[08:28] ---
    Then I'll make you believe.
[08:40] ---
    In life, shovels suited me to a T.
[08:46] ---
    But what could ol' Medusa
    have left in a place like this?
[09:06] ---
    Is this... the Brew?!
[09:17] ---
    The test results indicate
    that this is the real Brew.
[09:21] ---
    Meaning she wants to talk with me directly?
[09:25] ---
    She says it's time to make a deal now.
[09:29] ---
    A deal, huh?
[09:31] ---
    Honestly, now. What is she thinking,
    handing over the Brew just like that?
[09:38] ---
    Just the fact she had the
    Brew was a surprise in itself.
[09:43] ---
    Lord Death. There's no doubt she's
    trying to use DWMA for something.
[09:48] ---
    Indeed.
[09:51] ---
    But, even so, it sounds
    like I'll need to meet with her.
[09:56] ---
    Then...?!
[09:57] ---
    Yup! Could you call her here right away?!
[10:07] ---
    Death...
[10:09] ---
    You sure have caused us a lot of trouble.
[10:13] ---
    Thanks to you, the world
    is a real mess now.
[10:17] ---
    Even so, I appreciate
    you giving me a little trust.
[10:23] ---
    I hate to ask, but do you think you
    could remove this restraining device first?
[10:28] ---
    Surely it's unnecessary in your presence.
[10:33] ---
    Surely something that simple
    would be easy for you to remove.
[10:39] ---
    There's no point if I remove it myself.
[10:46] ---
    Try anything funny and I'll
    cut you apart without a warning.
[10:55] ---
    Reaper Chop!
[10:59] ---
    Hold on, Lord Death...
[11:01] ---
    Oh, come on, I'm allowed one freebie.
[11:06] ---
    Yes, this is the DWMA pace I hate so much!
[11:11] ---
    It took everything I had to keep up
    with it when I was the school nurse!

[11:16] ---
    Yoink!
[11:18] ---
    So, what is this "deal"?
[11:20] ---
    M-My panties...
[11:22] ---
    He's completely self-indulgent!
    I didn't count on this!

[11:26] ---
    For now, could you put me down?
[11:31] ---
    Pumpkin panties!
[11:33] ---
    Maka used to wear them when
    she was little! She was so adorable!
[11:39] ---
    I think I might go crazy...
[11:41] ---
    I need to get things moving at my pace!
[11:45] ---
    So, let's return to the matter at hand.
[11:47] ---
    What do you think of grown
    women wearing pumpkin panties?
[11:51] ---
    What's wrong with that? They used
    to wear them a decade or so ago.
[11:56] ---
    But it seems a little perverted nowadays.
[11:58] ---
    Now they've started a
    discussion about panties!

[12:02] ---
    Knock it off, you two!
[12:04] ---
    Oh, it was rude to talk
    about that in front of a girl.
[12:07] ---
    I don't care about that!
[12:10] ---
    So, what's this "deal"?
[12:13] ---
    Put me down!
[12:15] ---
    Pumpkin panties!
[12:18] ---
    Any more of that and I'll kill you!
[12:20] ---
    I guess she can't take a joke.
[12:23] ---
    Layering things is a basic
    part of comedy too...
[12:28] ---
    It's lasagna!
[12:29] ---
    Yes, lasagna!
[12:30] ---
    Lasagna refers to the repetition
    or layering of the same gag
[12:30] ---
    So let's give her three more lasagnas!
[12:34] ---
    Wait, she's stepped way back!
[12:36] ---
    Hey! Come back! I won't
    pick you up anymore!
[12:41] ---
    Promise?
[12:44] ---
    Are you ready now?
[12:46] ---
    The deal won't be unprofitable for you.
[12:51] ---
    In fact, I think this is the information
    you currently most want to know.
[12:55] ---
    Why don't you quit beating
    around the bush and come out with it?
[13:04] ---
    I'll pick you up again if
    you don't hurry and say it.
[13:07] ---
    You already have!
    Pumpkin panties!
[13:10] ---
    Will you stop with that?!
[13:13] ---
    All right, all right!
    I'll get to the point!
[13:17] ---
    Sheesh...
[13:22] ---
    What I have to offer...
[13:25] ---
    is the Kishin's location.
[13:29] ---
    Don't be stupid! DWMA has been
    exhausting every avenue to find him
[13:32] ---
    and hasn't even found a trace yet!
[13:34] ---
    Can you prove this
    information of yours isn't false?
[13:39] ---
    I can't, aside from asking you to trust me.
[13:46] ---
    Then tell us the location first!
    We'll go and check for ourselves!
[13:50] ---
    I'm not that good-natured.
[13:53] ---
    What?
[13:54] ---
    If I did that, it would
    no longer be a deal.
[13:58] ---
    What is it you want?
[14:00] ---
    Nothing much.
[14:02] ---
    A guarantee of safety
    for me and my friends,
[14:06] ---
    as well as their immediate
    release from custody.
[14:10] ---
    That's all?
[14:11] ---
    Yes, that's all.
[14:13] ---
    Hmm, but we can't afford
    to give in to those requests.
[14:19] ---
    Then you'll choose to continue
    dancing in the palm of Arachne's hand?
[14:25] ---
    Arachne?
[14:27] ---
    What do you mean?!
[14:28] ---
    Are you saying Arachnophobia
    and the Kishin are in cahoots?!
[14:32] ---
    You'll know soon.
[14:51] ---
    Don't worry. I'll protect you.
[14:57] ---
    I'll always be by your side.
[15:02] ---
    I'll eradicate everything
    that makes you feel uneasy.
[15:08] ---
    So don't worry...
[15:14] ---
    Mosquito.
[15:17] ---
    Yes!
[15:19] ---
    Activate the Madness Amplifier!
[16:13] ---
    What is this?!
[16:15] ---
    It looks like it's begun.
[16:18] ---
    Would you mind explaining?
[16:23] ---
    Arachne has brought the Kishin to her side.
[16:26] ---
    She's using his power to try to
    spread madness throughout the world.
[16:31] ---
    Too bad, Medusa. The deal's off now.
[16:36] ---
    Oh? Why is that?
[16:38] ---
    Given how strong this
    madness wavelength is,
[16:40] ---
    it'll be a cinch to locate its source!
[16:43] ---
    Unfortunately, that won't be possible.
[16:46] ---
    What?
[16:47] ---
    Arachne has established
    relay points throughout the world
[16:51] ---
    to cleverly conceal the
    source of the madness wavelength.
[16:55] ---
    While you're busy checking every single one
[16:57] ---
    the world will be swallowed in madness.
[17:01] ---
    What do you say, Lord Death?
    Do we have a deal or not?
[17:09] ---
    Do you think we could
    have a moment to talk it over?
[17:18] ---
    Medusa's aim is clear:
[17:21] ---
    get DWMA into a fight with Arachnophobia
    and hope they defeat each other,
[17:28] ---
    maybe while she watches from high above?
[17:33] ---
    If you have that much figured out, then...
[17:35] ---
    That said, we can't simply
    ignore the current situation.
[17:41] ---
    Then what are we going to do?!
[17:43] ---
    Hmm, what should we do?
[17:47] ---
    Obtain the information and take out
    the Kishin and Arachne in one swoop,

[17:53] ---
    or take the easier route
    and get rid of Medusa first?

[17:59] ---
    No worries. They'll be
    forced to accept my deal.

[18:08] ---
    They have no other options. I've won.
[18:17] ---
    But, if I happen to be wrong, then...
[18:27] ---
    which will they choose?
[18:43] ---
    Medusa.
[18:50] ---
    You're free to go.
[18:59] ---
    What's going on? What happened?
[19:01] ---
    Maka...
[19:04] ---
    You should take a good,
    long look at this yourself.
[19:08] ---
    You'll understand when you see.
[19:10] ---
    Excuse me, let me through...
[19:18] ---
    Medusa!
[19:19] ---
    Whoa, what's going on here?!
[19:22] ---
    I don't know the details.
    But DWMA made a deal with Medusa.
[19:28] ---
    Why?!
[19:31] ---
    That's what I'd like to know.
[19:35] ---
    Don't worry, Maka!
[19:38] ---
    This ain't over yet!
    We'll have plenty of chances!
[19:42] ---
    I will kick the crap out of her!
[19:45] ---
    And when I do, I'll let
    you have a piece of her too!
[20:24] ---
    This is Father's way of doing things?!
[20:35] ---
    Why?
[20:36] ---
    Why is this being allowed?! Why?!
[20:42] ---
    Death and DWMA...
[20:45] ---
    From now on, you will
    dance in the palm of my hands...

[21:06] ---
    Stein?
[21:08] ---
    Sheesh, you didn't even
    turn on the lights...
[21:16] ---
    Stein?
[21:29] ---
    Stein?!
[21:35] ---
    Stein!
[21:41] ---
    That night…
[21:42] ---
    That night...
[21:44] ---
    …Dr. Stein disappeared.
[21:45] ---
    Dr. Stein disappeared.
[22:05] ---
    With dry lips
[22:08] ---
    exposed to the
[22:12] ---
    icy sun
[22:16] ---
    my overflowing tears
[22:18] ---
    scrape against me
[22:22] ---
    with tremendous brightness
[22:25] ---
    So I sought you
[22:27] ---
    to fill in the gaps
[22:30] ---
    left by what I lack,
[22:35] ---
    only to gather up
[22:37] ---
    the sadness passed through
[22:42] ---
    our touching fingers
[22:45] ---
    If you claim the wish
[22:48] ---
    deep in my heartbeat
[22:51] ---
    as being destiny
[22:55] ---
    then the memories
[22:59] ---
    and lost remnants
[23:02] ---
    you left behind
[23:05] ---
    are still
[23:07] ---
    abandoned
[23:10] ---
    even now
[23:18] ---
    Doc! Where did you go?! Doc!
[23:21] ---
    Okay, here's the question!
    Where did Dr. Stein go?

[23:24] ---
    (1) Shopping at a nearby convenience store
[23:27] ---
    (2) A cabaret club with my dad
[23:29] ---
    (3) Somewhere far away
[23:32] ---
    - -♪1!
    Correct!

[23:33] ---
    So next week's episode will
    begin as if nothing happened!

[23:37] ---
    - -You can't be serious!
    Of course I'm not!

[23:39] ---
    Next time on Soul Eater, episode 41:
[23:41] ---
    "Twirl 'Round and 'Round...
    A New World in Which the Doc Dances?"

[23:44] ---
    Your soul is mine!
[23:46] ---
