**[00:01] Narrator**
* In an era in which the nations of*
* the world were waging a fierce war*
**[00:04] Narrator**
*of information just out of sight,*
**[00:06] Narrator**
*two countries were at odds with each other:*
**[00:08] Narrator**
*Ostania, in the east,*
**[00:11] Narrator**
*and Westalis, in the west.*
**[00:13] Narrator**
* In order to keep an eye on the actions of*
* a leading figure in Ostania's government,*
**[00:17] Narrator**
*Westalis set Operation Strix in motion.*
**[00:21] Narrator**
* The skilled agent, Twilight, who has*
* been tasked with this operation,*
**[00:25] Narrator**
* had succeeded in completing phase one:*
* creating a pretend family,*
**[00:28] Narrator**
* and enrolling his daughter in*
* the prestigious Eden College.*
**[00:34] Narrator**
*The father, a spy...*
**[00:36] Narrator**
*The mother, an assassin...*
**[00:39] Narrator**
*The daughter, a telepath...*
**[00:41] Narrator**
*The mission that involves these three*
**[00:43] Narrator**
* hiding their true identities*
* from each other continues.*
**[00:45] Narrator**
* And now, after successfully gaining*
* one of the eight Stella required*
**[00:50] Narrator**
*to become an Imperial Scholar,*
**[00:53] Narrator**
*the mission has moved into phase two:*
**[00:55] Narrator**
* making the necessary progress*
* to attend the social gathering*
**[00:58] Narrator**
* that their target, Donovan Desmond,*
* will be attending.*
**[02:43] Keith**
All right. We're all set.
**[02:47] Keith**
Let's begin.
**[02:50] Announcer**
*And now for our next story.*
**[02:52] Announcer**
* Yesterday afternoon, Foreign Minister*
* Brantz and his entourage from Westalis*
**[02:56] Announcer**
*arrived at Berlint Airport.*
**[02:59] Announcer**
*At the ministerial conference tonight,*
**[03:02] Announcer**
* they will begin coordinating for the*
* summit between East and West...*
**[03:16] Yor**
Are you all right?!
**[03:18] Loid**
Hey.
**[03:19] Loid**
Slow down and eat.
**[03:22] Anya**
Fanks for the food!
**[03:24] Anya**
Papa, Mama, hurry it up already!
**[03:29] Loid**
What are we going to do with her?
**[03:31] Yor**
Well, it's no surprise she's excited.
***SIGN*** PROJECT APPLE
**[03:34] Yor**
Since today's the day...
**[03:38] Anya**
Woof, woof, woof-woof...
**[03:40] Anya**
Woof, woof, woof-woof...
**[03:42] Yor**
You're so excited, Miss Anya.
**[03:45] Anya**
Does Mister Dog eat peanuts?
**[03:48] Loid**
You probably shouldn't give one too many.
**[03:51] Anya**
Boo...
**[03:52] Yor**
Let's make sure to give the
doggies what they like.
**[03:54] Loid**
* Our outing today is actually*
* for Operation Strix.*
**[03:58] Loid**
*Our destination: a pet shop.*
**[04:02] Loid**
We're here.
**[04:05] Loid**
* This is because Anya said she wanted a*
* dog as her reward for earning a Stella.*
**[04:11] Loid**
* Until she gets eight Stella and*
* I get into that social gathering,*
**[04:14] Loid**
* I need to keep her motivation high,*
* no matter what.*
**[04:16] Anya**
Reward, reward! Woof, woof, woof-woof!
**[04:21] Pet shop owner**
Welcome.
**[04:27] Pet shop owner**
Well, what do you think, sir?
**[04:29] Pet shop owner**
We've made sure to properly
train all of our dogs.
**[04:33] Loid**
* This is a pet shop that works with*
* our agency, and sells war dogs.*
**[04:37] Loid**
*I figured if we're going to get a dog,*
**[04:38] Loid**
* we'd be best off with a guard*
* dog for safety reasons, but...*
**[04:43] Loid**
Don't they look very smart and cute,
**[04:45] Loid**
Anya?
**[04:51] Loid**
*That's a no!*
**[04:52] Loid**
*She clearly doesn't want any of them!*
**[04:55] Doberman**
*Me strong.*
**[04:55] Loid**
Don't you have any that are a bit
smaller and at least a *little* cute?
**[04:56] Pitbull**
*Gots big muscles.*
**[04:58] Pet shop owner**
Hmm... I guess I could ask a breeder I know.
**[04:59] Anya**
Anya doesn't like any of them.
**[05:00] Yor**
Oh, yes, they do look a bit mean.
**[05:06] Pet shop owner**
Apparently, a shelter is having
an adoption event right now.
**[05:10] Loid**
Then we'll just head over there.
**[05:16] Loid**
*A new order?*
**[05:20] Loid**
Sorry, I suddenly have a stomachache.
**[05:24] Loid**
You two go ahead to
the shelter by the station.
**[05:26] Loid**
I'm going to find a bathroom.
**[05:28] Yor**
Huh? Are you all right?
We can wait right here.
**[05:31] Anya**
Papa takes a really long time when he goes to
the shitter to shit, so we should probably go.
**[05:35] Yor**
I-Is that so?
**[05:37] Yor**
All right...
**[05:38] Loid**
You need to watch your mouth, young lady.
**[05:41] Loid**
* An excellent assist,*
* but at the same time... yeah.*
**[05:46] Loid**
Wait... You didn't say anything about
taking me all the way to headquarters.
**[05:50] Loid**
If I take too long, my family
will get suspicious.
**[05:53] Senior Agent**
If you've got a problem,
take it up with Handler.
**[05:55] Senior Agent**
This is an emergency summons.
**[05:59] Loid**
A plot to assassinate Foreign Minister Brantz?
**[06:02] Senior Agent**
They're probably targeting tonight's summit.
**[06:04] Senior Agent**
The ones believed to be behind this
are a group of isolationists
**[06:09] Senior Agent**
who attend Berlint University.
**[06:11] Senior Agent**
Apparently, the Secret Police
also had their eyes on them.
**[06:14] Senior Agent**
We just happened to apprehend one of
them who was hanging around the embassy.
**[06:17] Senior Agent**
We're currently interrogating him.
**[06:20] Senior Agent**
But he won't tell us where his
friends are or anything else.
**[06:23] Loid**
And that's why I was called in?
**[06:26] Senior Agent**
Being both a papa and an agent...
Must be tough balancing the two.
**[06:31] Loid**
Being a father is part of the mission.
**[06:34] Loid**
But I guess the times are changing...
**[06:37] Loid**
To think that a child like
him could be a terrorist.
**[06:47] Kris**
Keep coming back all you want.
I'm never gonna talk.
**[06:49] Kris**
I won't sell out my comrades.
**[06:53] Sylvia**
That's quite all right.
You're no longer necessary.
**[06:56] Sylvia**
We've captured your leader, after all.
**[07:05] Kris**
Keith?!
**[07:07] Fake Keith**
I-It was him!
**[07:09] Fake Keith**
He planned all this!
**[07:11] Fake Keith**
We were tricked into helping him!
**[07:14] Fake Keith**
You gotta believe me!
I didn't do anything wrong!
**[07:15] Kris**
Uh, Keith? What are you...
**[07:17] Fake Keith**
I'll tell you anything you want!
Just let me go!
**[07:20] Member C**
Shut up and keep walking.
**[07:24] Kris**
*He just...*
**[07:26] Kris**
*Is he really gonna put this all on me?*
**[07:28] Sylvia**
Some comrade.
**[07:31] Sylvia**
Well, it doesn't really matter to
us which one of you is the leader.
**[07:35] Sylvia**
We only care about which one
gives us the intel we need.
**[07:39] Sylvia**
Now, what do we do with you?
**[07:42] Kris**
Wait, it's not me! He's the leader!
**[07:44] Kris**
I'm not lying! He's the one...
who proposed the plan...
**[07:49] Sylvia**
I'd love to hear more.
**[07:53] Kris**
Keith planned out all of it.
**[07:55] Senior Agent**
Thank goodness we had some footage
of Keith's past activities.
**[07:55] Kris**
I just went along with it.
**[07:57] Kris**
I'll tell you what I know about
the other members, too.
**[08:00] Kris**
First, there's Kurt, who's in
the same program as Keith.
**[08:00] Fake Keith & Loid**
It's impossible for me to perfectly
play the role based on such a short video.
**[08:03] Kris**
There's also a handful of guys
from the psych program.
**[08:05] Fake Keith & Loid**
If we were dealing with a pro,
he would've been on to us.
**[08:06] Kris**
I don't usually talk to them,
so I don't know their names.
**[08:09] Kris**
There's also Kevin and Kim
from the engineering program.
**[08:13] Kris**
Those are all the guys I know.
**[08:15] Kris**
Our hideouts are a warehouse
near the university
**[08:18] Kris**
and the second floor of a bar on 11th Street.
**[08:21] Sylvia**
Exactly how were you going to
carry out the assassination?
**[08:27] Kris**
Dogs.
**[08:29] Kris**
I don't know exactly how many...
**[08:31] Kris**
But the plan was to strap bombs
onto a dozen or so dogs
**[08:35] Kris**
and have them ambush him
while he was on the move.
**[08:39] Sylvia**
Bomb dogs?
**[08:41] Senior Agent**
Not good. It's not gonna be
easy stopping trained dogs.
**[08:45] Loid**
But that's impossible.
**[08:47] Loid**
Giving a war dog proper special training
**[08:49] Loid**
costs just about as much as
a small missile per dog.
**[08:53] Loid**
I can't imagine ordinary students
being able to afford that.
**[08:57] Senior Agent**
Either they have someone from
the far right backing them,
**[09:00] Senior Agent**
or there's a sympathizer from a third power.
**[09:05] Sylvia**
As you heard, we've got quite
the problem on our hands.
**[09:09] Sylvia**
In order to stop this terrorist attack,
we'll have to make the first move.
**[09:13] Loid**
Could we not have the summit canceled?
**[09:15] Sylvia**
Doubtful. The Eastern government
has a reputation to uphold.
**[09:19] Sylvia**
Though I'm sure the opposition
would be thrilled.
**[09:22] Sylvia**
Casually leak this information
to the ruling party.
**[09:25] Sylvia**
I'm sure they'll also want to
avoid any pointless trouble.
**[09:28] Senior Agent**
Yes, ma'am.
**[09:30] Sylvia**
Sorry, but we'll need your
help for a bit longer.
**[09:33] Loid**
Understood.
**[09:34] Sylvia**
Relations between the East
and West are on thin ice.
**[09:37] Sylvia**
Regardless of whether the
assassination is a success or not,
**[09:40] Sylvia**
if this becomes public,
the ice may finally break.
**[09:44] Sylvia**
We're going to stop them, whatever it takes.
**[09:55] Terrorist F**
I'm gonna go buy some coffee.
**[09:57] Terrorist F**
Wait here.
**[09:58] Terrorist F**
You better behave, pups.
**[10:02] Terrorist G**
Well, these dogs are definitely smart,
**[10:04] Terrorist G**
even if they're up there in years already.
**[10:18] Mother**
Hey!
**[10:19] Child**
Yay!
**[10:20] Mother**
You'll trip if you run like that!
**[10:23] Terrorist G**
Hey, damn it!
**[10:29] Mother**
Hey, where'd this dog come from?!
**[10:29] Child**
No! He's gonna eat me!
**[10:35] Passerby A**
Whoa, that sign fell.
**[10:36] Passerby C**
That startled me.
**[10:37] Passerby B**
That sure was a close one, kid.
**[10:39] Child**
Did you just save me?
**[10:42] Child**
Thanks.
**[10:44] Bond**
Borf.
**[10:44] Terrorist G**
Er, sorry about my dog, ma'am.
**[10:47] Terrorist G**
Don't go running off
like that, you dumb mutt!
**[10:49] Terrorist F**
What's wrong?
**[10:50] Terrorist G**
This stupid dog just bolted on me.
**[10:53] Terrorist G**
Are these dogs really gonna work?
**[10:55] Terrorist F**
Not like we can change our plan now.
**[10:58] Terrorist F**
We got the area all checked out
and ready, so let's head back.
**[11:02] Terrorist F**
We'll be in a world of hurt if we piss off Keith.
**[11:15] Yor**
So this is an adoption event.
It's bigger than I had imagined.
**[11:20] Yor**
I wonder why Loid didn't bring us here first.
**[11:25] Anya**
Tiny doggies!
**[11:27] Anya**
Kitties!
**[11:29] Anya**
Bunnies!
**[11:31] Yor**
Oh! You mustn't, Miss Anya! You'll get lost!
**[11:35] Yor**
Listen carefully.
**[11:36] Yor**
Promise me you won't leave
this area with the doggies.
**[11:40] Anya**
Okay.
**[11:42] Yor**
Oh... That dachshund is adorable!
Its legs are so short!
**[11:47] Anya**
It's cute even with stubby legs?
**[11:50] Anya**
Does that mean Anya's cute, too?
**[11:52] Anya**
A Chihuahua!
**[11:54] Anya**
A Pomeranyan!
**[11:56] Anya**
Huff, huff, huff...
**[11:57] Staff**
Are you looking for a dog to adopt?
**[12:00] Yor**
Is there a breed that's easy to keep?
**[12:02] Anya**
Huff, huff, huff...
**[12:08] Anya**
*What a big Mister Dog.*
**[12:19] Anya**
*Anya's family?*
**[12:22] Terrorist G**
What's wrong now? Come on, start walking!
**[12:26] Anya**
*Was that... Mister Dog's thoughts?*
**[12:33] Staff**
Toy poodles rarely shed, so cleaning
up after them is a breeze.
**[12:39] Anya**
Mama! There is a doggy that
knows about our family!
**[12:43] Yor**
What are you talking about, dear?
**[12:49] Staff**
If you're looking for smaller breeds,
Shih Tzus are very friendly.
**[12:58] Anya**
*Just for a little bit...*
**[13:02] Anya**
*A shop?*
**[13:08] Anya**
*Where did Mister Dog go?*
**[13:18] Anya**
Mister Dog...
**[13:26] Anya**
Who are you?
**[13:30] Keith**
You better not have done
anything to draw attention.
**[13:34] Terrorist G**
D-Don't worry.
**[13:35] Terrorist G**
There were people with dogs everywhere
because of the adoption event.
**[13:40] Keith**
It's finally time.
**[13:42] Keith**
If this plan with the
bomb dogs is a success,
**[13:45] Keith**
the façade between the East and
the West will finally come down.
**[13:50] Keith**
In order to restore Ostania
to its former glory...
**[13:53] Keith**
We'll just have Foreign Minister Brantz
become the catalyst for war.
**[13:59] Keith**
We're going to bring down those
arrogant pigs of the West.
**[14:02] Terrorists**
Bring them down!
**[14:04] Anya**
*B-Bad guys?!*
**[14:07] Anya**
*This is the bad guys' house!*
**[14:17] Kurt**
Hey, what the hell are you guys doing?
**[14:20] Kurt**
This little brat heard everything!
**[14:22] Terrorist A**
Wait, are you serious? Who is that?
**[14:25] Terrorist G**
Uh... Wh-What do we do?
**[14:28] Kurt**
Whoa, there!
**[14:29] Keith**
What are we gonna do? Well...
**[14:33] Keith**
We'll just have to take care of her.
**[14:43] Terrorist A**
Yo, Keith, come on. She's just a little kid.
**[14:48] Keith**
If she tattles to her parents,
our plan will be ruined.
**[14:53] Keith**
Kurt, keep her mouth shut.
**[15:05] Anya**
Mister Dog!
**[15:07] Terrorist G**
Damn it... He's not listening again!
**[15:09] Terrorist F**
Maybe this one was a dud.
**[15:14] Terrorist E**
You picked the wrong guy to borf at.
**[15:16] Terrorist E**
I'll shut you up for good.
**[15:23] Anya**
Shock!
**[15:29] Terrorist E**
This little...
**[15:30] Keith**
Don't. Don't damage the goods.
**[15:33] Terrorist G**
But we need to shut him up.
**[15:36] Terrorist F**
That's no problem.
**[15:38] Terrorist F**
No one's gonna pay it any mind
if they hear a dog barking today.
**[15:43] Yor**
Miss Anya? Where did you go?!
**[15:47] Yor**
Um, pardon me.
**[15:48] Yor**
Did you happen to see a little
girl who looks like this?
**[15:51] Patron A**
Dunno...
**[15:52] Patron B**
I can't say I have.
**[16:07] Yor**
*She's not here. She's nowhere in the venue...*
**[16:11] Yor**
*Could it be... that she was eaten by a dog?!*
**[16:12] Anya**
Aaaaaa...
**[16:15] Yor**
* No, no, calm down, Yor.*
* That is probably unlikely.*
**[16:20] Yor**
*But then, could she have been...*
**[16:22] Yor**
*kidnapped?!*
**[16:23] Announcer**
* There have been a string of*
* kidnappings in Central Ariane*
**[16:26] Announcer**
* involving young women who were abducted*
* and forced into marriage.*
**[16:28] Yor**
*Oh, how frightening.*
**[16:31] Kidnapper**
I'll make you my bride.
**[16:32] Anya**
Mrrrgh...
**[16:37] Yor**
*Wh-Wh-Wh-What should I do?!*
**[16:39] Yor**
*Miss Anya will be forced to marry someone!*
**[16:41] Yor**
* Of course this had to happen*
* when Loid isn't here.*
**[16:44] Yor**
*Oh, what do I do? Whatever shall I do?*
**[16:47] Yor**
*Please hurry back from the bathroom, Loid!*
**[16:58] Sylvia**
All of the locations he offered
up turned out to be duds.
**[17:03] Sylvia**
How is it on your end?
**[17:04] Loid**
Bingo.
**[17:06] Loid**
There were two white vans
rented here under the name
**[17:09] Loid**
of one of the terrorists, Kevin Knowles.
**[17:11] Loid**
The plate numbers are...
**[17:13] Sylvia**
Excellent work. I'll have someone
look into this immediately.
**[17:16] Sylvia**
Oh, as for where they were getting the dogs,
**[17:19] Sylvia**
one lead was particularly suspicious.
**[17:23] Sylvia**
I'm sure even you've heard of it before...
**[17:27] Sylvia**
Project Apple.
**[17:30] Sylvia**
It was research done under the
former government of Ostania,
**[17:34] Sylvia**
to try to create animals with terrifyingly
high IQ for military purposes.
**[17:39] Loid**
I'm aware of it.
**[17:40] Loid**
I heard they repeated some
pretty reckless experiments,
**[17:43] Loid**
but the government fell apart
during their research,
**[17:46] Loid**
and the project came to a standstill.
**[17:47] Loid**
They say it ended with mediocre results
that were far from their intended goal.
**[17:51] Sylvia**
* Correct. And then came rumors*
* that the dogs and other animals*
**[17:55] Sylvia**
* that were no longer needed ended up on*
* the black market instead of being put down.*
**[17:59] Loid**
And you think the terrorists
got a hold of them?
**[18:03] Sylvia**
*It's possible.*
**[18:05] Sylvia**
They may be the survivors
of a failed experiment,
**[18:08] Sylvia**
but they are probably still highly intelligent,
**[18:10] Sylvia**
*and well-trained dogs.*
**[18:15] Sylvia**
*Be on your guard.*
**[18:16] Sylvia**
*The unexpected may very likely happen.*
**[18:20] Keith**
Get away from the dog, you stupid brat.
**[18:23] Keith**
Then I promise you'll at
least die painlessly.
**[18:40] Anya**
Phone?
**[18:42] Keith**
Hey. If you don't hurry up...
**[18:47] Terrorist F**
Man, that scared me.
**[18:48] Terrorist D**
Who the hell's calling us right now?
**[18:54] Terrorist D**
Hello?
**[18:57] Terrorist D**
What? Seriously?
**[18:59] Terrorist D**
Hey, Keith, we've got trouble!
**[19:00] Terrorist D**
Apparently some suspicious guys
showed up at two of our hideouts!
**[19:04] Terrorist G**
D-Don't tell me it's the Secret Police...
**[19:06] Terrorist C**
How?! Did someone leak info?
**[19:09] Keith**
Tch. I haven't seen Kris all morning,
so I kind of suspected, but...
**[19:15] Terrorist A**
It was a good idea to move locations.
**[19:17] Keith**
Nobody panic!
**[19:19] Keith**
We're switching over to Plan B and...
**[19:25] Keith**
Hey! Where'd the brat go?
**[19:27] Kurt**
Huh? Wh-What the?!
**[19:34] Anya**
Mister Dog is Anya's friend?
**[19:37] Anya**
Wait, did you know the phone was
going to ring before it did?
**[19:42] Anya**
You...
**[19:43] Anya**
can see the future?
**[19:46] Anya**
*Is it a telepath like me?*
**[19:54] Anya**
Mister Dog! Go into that building!
Mama will save us!
**[19:59] Anya**
No! Not that way!
**[20:01] Anya**
Go back!
**[20:06] Yor**
Miss Anya?!
**[20:10] Keith**
What are you dumbasses doing?!
**[20:12] Terrorist E**
We were distracted by the phone...
**[20:13] Terrorist F**
Whatever. Who cares about her?
**[20:16] Terrorist F**
We need to get the plan rolling.
**[20:17] Keith**
You idiots! She's seen our faces!
**[20:20] Keith**
Hey, Kurt, come with me!
**[20:21] Keith**
We're taking one of the dogs, too.
**[20:23] Terrorist F**
You're gonna go after her?
**[20:25] Keith**
Tear that map off the wall.
We're abandoning this hideout, too.
**[20:28] Keith**
You guys get to the designated
location and spread out.
**[20:31] Terrorist C**
Got it.
**[20:33] Anya**
Dog! Stop! Let me down!
**[20:35] Anya**
Someone save me!
**[20:38] Anya**
I'm being chased by bad guys!
**[20:41] Passerby D**
What is that? How cute.
**[20:43] Passerby E**
I wonder if she's playing tag.
**[20:46] Anya**
*Mister Dog runs so fast!*
**[20:50] Anya**
*He's so fast, and...*
**[21:00] Anya**
*So exciting!*
**[21:04] Anya**
Okay, Mister Dog!
**[21:06] Anya**
Let's make a break for it and go
right to the police ociffers!
**[21:09] Anya**
Anya and Mister Dog...
**[21:12] Anya**
are gonna solve this on our
own and save the day!
**[21:16] Anya**
And then... I'll be Starlight Anya again!
**[21:35] Keith**
Thanks for saving us the trouble.
**[21:36] Anya**
We're right back where we started!
**[21:39] Anya**
Right face!
**[21:45] Keith**
You're not getting away.
**[21:48] Keith**
Do it. Make it quick.
**[21:50] Kurt**
R-Right...
**[21:57] Kurt**
No hard feelings, kid.
**[22:17] Yor**
You won't get away with this,
**[22:19] Yor**
Mr. Perverted Kidnapper!
**[22:22] Yor**
It is far too early for
Miss Anya to get married!
