[00:01] Narr
    Can you imagine a life where you
    can't even touch the person you love?
[00:09] Narr
    The curse the witch laid upon him caused
    him to take the lives of any he touched.
[00:15] Narr
    His own mother distanced herself from him,
    his friends called him a monster...
[00:19] Narr
    Even people he'd never met
[00:20] Narr
    spoke of him as "death incarnate
    that dwells in the forest."
[00:24] Narr
    And yet, he doesn't feel
    the least bit lonely.
[00:44] (Flashback) Sade
    Not the slightest bit of hesitation to
    sacrifice herself for her daughter...
[00:47] (Flashback) Sade
    Very well. I'll keep my part of our deal.
[00:52] (Flashback) Sade
    I could make you sleep forever...
[00:56] (Flashback) Sade
    But for the sake of the ones
    who came from the future...
[01:02] (Flashback) Sade
    I think I'll give you a job, instead.
SIGN    Episode 26
    The Duke, Alice, and the Mysterious Clone
[02:40] Sharon
    Sorry to keep you waiting, Alice!
[02:43] Sharon
    You know how your mama loves her ice cream.
[02:45] Sharon
    Want some?
[02:46] Alice
    No. Aren't you cold?
[02:48] Sharon
    I'm cold, but I can snuggle
    up next to you as we walk!
[02:58] Sharon
    Alice, you're so warm!
[03:00] Sharon
    I need to thank His Grace
[03:03] Sharon
    for letting me spend the day with you
    before I head back to the family mansion.
[03:08] Cuff
    Alice!
[03:10] Alice
    Cuff and Zain...
[03:12] Sharon
    Friends?
[03:13] Alice
    Yes. They've been very good to me.
[03:16] Alice
    I'll introduce you.
[03:25] Cuff
    Alice.
[03:27] Cuff
    And fake Alice!
[03:29] Sharon
    I'm her mommy!
[03:31] Zain
    Mommy?
[03:32] Zain
    Hello! I'm Zain!
[03:34] Zain
    Grin!
[03:35] Zain
    You're totally my type!
[03:37] Zain
    Both you and your daughter
    are very, uh... pretty!
[03:51] Zain
    I thought Sade's curse put her to sleep?
[03:57] Zain
    Um, can I check to make
    sure you're really human?
[04:00] Zain
    I'll have to check every inch of your body...
[04:02] Sharon
    Bye, Cuff! Bye, Zain!
[04:06] Sharon
    I'll come see you at the circus soon!
[04:08] Alice
    Say hello to everyone in Gemini for us.
[04:11] Cuff
    Bye!
[04:15] Sharon
    It's so good.
[04:18] Sharon
    I used to come here all the time.
[04:21] Sharon
    Victor preferred the mansion
    where you live now.
[04:26] Alice
    I'm told the two of you would
    practice dancing in the dance hall.
[04:30] Sharon
    Yes, he said it was for the
    day he reunited with his wife.
[04:35] Sharon
    Rob was there too, but he only watched.
    He never let me take a break.
[04:39] Alice
    I'm told that his wife passed
    away at an early age.
[04:43] Sharon
    Yes. And he said he would be
    reunited with her in heaven.
[04:47] Sharon
    I'd never met her, but he
    was always telling stories...
[04:51] Sharon
    He was such a kind, wonderful man.
[04:55] Sharon
    When he passed away,
    it was like losing a father.
[05:00] Alice
    I see.
[05:01] Sharon
    Are you nervous?
[05:04] Sharon
    You haven't had a bite to eat.
[05:06] Alice
    It's not that this is awkward or anything.
[05:07] Alice
    Just... this is what I've wanted for
    so long. So I'm a little nervous.
[05:14] Sharon
    You're so cute! Marry me!
[05:16] Alice
    I'm your daughter.
[05:28] Sharon
    You loved picture books like the
    one with this princess, Alice.
[05:33] Sharon
    This was when you were a kid, though.
[05:35] Alice
    I still do.
[05:37] Sharon
    You know, you can be a little
    more informal with me.
[05:41] Sharon
    Like you were when you were a kid.
[05:43] Sharon
    I'm your mom, after all.
[05:46] Alice
    Good. That makes me happy.
[05:53] Sharon
    Thanks for everything today.
[05:55] Sharon
    We can see each other
    whenever we want now, right?
[05:58] Alice
    Yeah.
[06:00] Sharon
    I love you, Alice!
[06:02] Alice
    Me too.
[06:04] Alice
    Take care.
[06:22] Duke
    What's this creepy thing?
[06:24] Rob
    It was lying in the hallway,
    so I brought it here.
[06:27] Rob
    It must be some new type of animal.
[06:29] Duke
    Are you going to keep it?
[06:31] Rob
    Yes. I'm going to name it Rob II
    and watch it as it grows.
[06:36] Duke
    Why's he giving it his own name?
[06:46] Viola
    Hey! Why are you following me?
SIGN    I wanted to learn about femininity
SIGN    in a way I couldn't from just wearing feminine clothes.
SIGN    You brush your legs together as you walk, don't you?
[06:57] Viola
    Creep! Creep!
    You're such a creep, Brother!
[06:59] Sharon
    Hey there!
[07:01] Sharon
    Oh, Walter! Viola!
    You've grown up so much!
[07:07] Viola
    Who's that?
[07:15] Sharon
    How's it going?
[07:20] Sharon
    Why did you close the curtains?
[07:25] Sharon
    Um, I thought I'd give
    you a bit of a surprise.
[07:30] Mom
    Who are you?
[07:31] Mom
    Why would someone send me a person who looks
    just like Sharon, after all these years?
[07:35] Mom
    This isn't a funny prank at all.
[07:36] Sharon
    I'm not an impostor. I'm the real Sharon!
[07:40] Mom
    That's impossible!
[07:41] Mom
    You haven't aged a day!
[07:43] Mom
    Do you know how many years it's been?
[07:45] Mom
    Leave.
[07:47] Mom
    If this is a hallucination, or a
    dream, I'll wait for it to end.
[07:50] Sharon
    Sorry, Gerbera.
[07:52] Sharon
    I disappeared and left you all alone.
[07:56] Sharon
    I can understand why you
    wouldn't believe it's me.
[07:58] Sharon
    But you know, I've never forgotten
    the words you said to me. "I lo—"
[08:04] Mom
    Stop it!
[08:06] Mom
    Are you really Sharon?
[08:09] Sharon
    Basically, I was put under a magic
    spell that made me sleep for a long time.
[08:14] Sharon
    I wanted to see you, so I hurried here.
[08:19] Sharon
    You were younger than me
    when we met, weren't you?
[08:23] Sharon
    Time stopped for me, but not for anyone else.
[08:28] Mom
    Sharon...
[08:30] Viola
    So is that Alice's mom?
[08:33] Viola
    The one who used to work here?
SIGN    It has to be!
SIGN    But why?
[08:36] Mom
    Give me some time to think.
[08:39] Mom
    Your room's just as it was.
    You can stay there.
[08:42] Sharon
    Wait, Gerbera!
[08:48] Sharon
    Hey, open the door!
[08:50] Sharon
    We're finally reunited,
    and I want to talk to you!
[08:53] Viola
    Wow, she's so aggressive.
[08:55] Sharon
    Oh, my apologies.
[08:57] Sharon
    I should be more respectful
    of the lady of the house.
[09:00] Sharon
    Oh, my. Viola, Walter,
    you've grown up so much.
SIGN    You just told us that.
[09:08] Viola
    She talks a hundred times
    more than Alice does.
[09:12] Sharon
    Sorry for scaring you all!
[09:14] Maid
    You really haven't changed, though, Sharon!
[09:17] Maid
    Will we be able to work with you again?
[09:18] Viola
    Hey! This is a girl's room, you know!
[09:19] Viola
    Hey! This is a girl's room, you know!
[09:21] Viola
    No boys allowed.
SIGN    There's something I want to ask Sharon, too.
SIGN    I know just the trick!
[09:39] Walter
    The Eldest and his friends said they
    were going back to the past as a test.
[09:45] Walter
    Sharon's awakening must be an effect of that.
[09:48] Walter
    Is Sade plotting something?
[10:02] Sade
    At last...
[10:11] Sade
    At last I can move properly.
SIGN    Are you Sade?
[10:20] Sade
    Um, you're, uh... Victor's grandson... uh...
SIGN    I'm the second son!
[10:27] Sade
    Oh!
SIGN    I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm glad I got to meet you, Sade.
SIGN    At first, I was after you because I wanted to become the heir...
SIGN    But now that's not all!
SIGN    I'll never forgive you for hurting not only Daleth's face, but her heart too!
[10:53] Sade
    Is it just you?
[10:54] Sade
    Where's the witch who controls time?
[10:57] Cuff
    I'm not telling you.
[11:00] Cuff
    You're a bad witch!
[11:02] Cuff
    Take this! Power of the sun...
[11:04] Cuff
    Umm.... Something Ball!
[11:09] Sade
    Your magic is powerful
    and unhindered by doubt.
[11:15] Sade
    But you're rather stupid.
[11:23] Zain
    Sheesh...
[11:24] Zain
    You almost destroyed Gemini!
[11:27] Cuff
    Zain!
[11:28] Cuff
    Was that your time magic?
[11:30] Cuff
    You're so cool!
[11:31] Cuff
    You really are a magical genius!
[11:32] Zain
    Aww, it's true!
[11:33] Zain
    I am hot!
[11:35] Cuff
    I didn't say that part.
[11:37] Zain
    You're calmer about this than I thought.
[11:47] Walter
    I have to hit the eye?
[11:49] Sade
    A weak weapon.
[11:51] Sade
    Appropriate for a powerless human.
[11:54] Sade
    Are you and Daleth in love?
[11:56] Daleth
    It's none of your business.
[11:58] Sade
    I see. Hearing that makes me
    want to destroy your love!
SIGN    So that's what you did... Toyed with people's hearts and laughed...
SIGN    Split in
SIGN    TWO
[12:25] Walter
    Curses. I needed to cut it into three.
SIGN    It's rather disgusting.
[12:31] Viola
    Gaah! Blood!
[12:33] Viola
    Somebody! Somebody, quick!
[12:35] Viola
    Brother is dying!
SIGN    Please just don't tell Mother!
[12:43] Viola
    Put this on it to stop the bleeding.
SIGN    But this is your favorite...
[12:47] Viola
    Just do it.
[12:49] Viola
    Or I'll punch you!
SIGN    Thanks...
[12:53] Walter
    There's no way she'd only send one clone.
[12:57] Viola
    What are you doing?
[13:03] Keto
    Daleth!
[13:05] Bunny
    Daleth!
[13:08] Bunny
    Are you getting some rest?
[13:13] Bunny
    In 30 minutes, you have a dinner
    with the Witches' Union.
[13:17] Bunny
    A "be wrapped up in giant spider silk"
     experience with the kids.
[13:20] Bunny
    You have to make documents for tomorrow's
    Sabbath, and you have a column to write...
[13:25] Bunny
    It's your own fault you're so busy!
[13:28] Bunny
    You went to the human world with
    Keto for days and didn't come back!
[13:36] Daleth
    You just need me to work, right?
[13:38] Bunny
    Yes. Like a rented mule, please.
[13:42] Daleth
    You have such a lovable,
    fluffy body, and yet...
[13:45] Bunny
    You know, though, ever since you
    became the Underworld boss,
[13:50] Bunny
    the Underworld has become
    a much nicer place to be.
[13:54] Bunny
    You were a little hard to approach
    before you took the mask off, though.
[13:59] Bunny
    Lately, you've been opening your heart to us.
[14:04] Bunny
    It makes me happy!
[14:05] Keto
    Hey!
[14:06] Teto
    Come join us too, Daleth!
[14:09] Bunny
    Everyone loves you, Daleth!
[14:12] Bunny
    Does that make you want to work harder?
[14:16] Daleth
    It would have, if you hadn't
    said that last sentence.
[14:22] Daleth
    Huh?
[14:25] Daleth
    Keto and Teto!
[14:27] Teto
    It's the extinct ultra megalodon shark!
[14:30] Keto
    It's so funny how you know all about sharks.
[14:34] Daleth
    You may not eat them.
[14:36] Keto
    Daleth, your net throwing is so cool!
[14:38] Daleth
    I'll send you back to your home.
[14:41] Teto
    I should've taken a video of that.
[14:48] Daleth
    Farewell.
[14:50] Sade
    We're finally alone.
[14:53] Daleth
    Sade...
[14:54] Sade
    Whatever you do, you screw it up.
[14:57] Sade
    Do you really think you can be the
    boss of the Underworld like that?
[15:01] Sade
    If somebody refuses to understand,
    you have to hurt them until they do.
[15:04] Sade
    Just like I did to you.
[15:07] Daleth
    I can't do something so horrible...
[15:10] Sade
    No! Making someone understand
    is a form of love!
[15:13] Sade
    If you can't do what your
    older sister tells you,
[15:15] Sade
    then drown beneath the
    sea along with my clone.
[15:19] Sade
    Daleth, you never used to make such faces...
[15:23] Sade
    When we were kids, we both tested
    how long we could remain underwater.
[15:28] Sade
    I got bored and stopped at 80 hours, though.
[15:31] Daleth
    What do you even want?
[15:34] Sade
    I've come to love you! That's all!
[15:43] Sade
    Farewell, Daleth.
[15:51] Daleth
    The real Sade would never fall
    for such a primitive illusion.
[15:58] Daleth
    If I'm not looking at that
    terrible face, I can fight, too.
[16:03] Alice
    How's Rob II?
[16:05] Rob
    He remains asleep.
[16:09] Rob
    Oh, he just woke up.
[16:18] Sade
    I am Sade, the queen of this world.
[16:20] Sade
    Even after I have passed on,
     my clone revives!
[16:23] Sade
    Yay.
[16:26] Rob
    Oh, my.
[16:27] Alice
    So you woke my mother from
    her slumber deliberately.
[16:31] Rob
    Rob II!
[16:32] Sade
    Please don't call me by that stupid name.
[16:34] Sade
    But thanks. Because you treated me
    so well, I can move around like this.
[16:41] Sade
    Alice.
[16:42] Sade
    You have something to do with the
    fact that Sharon fell asleep.
[16:46] Sade
    I thought it would be fun
    to give her a choice.
[16:48] Sade
    I could heal your illness
    and put her to sleep.
[16:51] Sade
    Or I could simply let you be.
[16:53] Sade
    It's thanks to me that you're here right now.
[16:56] Sade
    And it's your fault that Sharon
    fell asleep, Alice.
[17:02] Rob
    It's not Alice's fault. It's your fault, yes?
[17:09] Sade
    Is it okay for you to speak to me like that?
[17:11] Rob
    You're a nasty, ugly witch.
[17:14] Sade
    If you don't start showing some
    humility, you're going to get hurt.
[17:19] Sade
    Like this.
[17:22] Duke
    Alice, you in here?
[17:27] Duke
    Rob II? Oh, no!
[17:32] Both
    Y-Your Grace! Your Grace!
[17:32] Duke
    I'm sorry, Rob! I killed your precious pet!
[17:39] Duke
    So Rob II was a Sade clone?
[17:43] Duke
    Right after I was afflicted with this curse,
[17:45] Duke
    I tried to catch a bird of my mother's
    which had flown from its cage.
[17:49] Duke
    I accidentally touched it.
[17:51] Duke
    Mom got so mad.
[17:53] Duke
    She said I was like death incarnate.
[17:57] Duke
    I'm pretty sure Nico was right.
    I could kill Sade if I wanted to.
[18:03] Duke
    Just like I did that pet bird.
[18:06] Duke
    Why did Sade give me a curse
    that worked to her disadvantage?
[18:11] Duke
    It's the same with Nico's immortality...
[18:13] Duke
    It was what resulted in her destruction.
[18:18] Duke
    Perhaps Sade...
[18:24] Duke
    Are you okay, Alice?
[18:27] Alice
    Um, I know it's not appropriate
    for a maid to say this.
[18:32] Alice
    But I don't want to be alone tonight.
[18:38] Alice
    May I stay with you tonight?
[18:40] Duke
    Of course! Of course you can!
[18:43] Duke
    I'll be with you, even if the world ends!
[18:47] Alice
    Thank you.
[18:48] Alice
    I'll go change into my cutest lingerie.
[18:54] Alice
    You didn't need to go this far.
[18:57] Duke
    It's okay.
[18:58] Duke
    All I can do for you right
    now is play the piano.
[19:04] Duke
    If only this curse could be broken...
[19:07] Alice
    You'd hold me in your arms?
[19:09] Duke
    Not now!
[19:11] Duke
    Didn't you see what happened to Rob II?
[19:21] Duke
    Why are you sad?
[19:25] Duke
    This isn't like you.
[19:27] Alice
    Because Sade told me that it was
    my fault my mom fell asleep.
[19:34] Alice
    She cured the illness I
    suffered when I was young,
[19:38] Alice
    and in exchange, put my mother to sleep.
[19:40] Alice
    That's the deal she made, I think.
[19:44] Alice
    If my mother hadn't made that
    deal, I'd still be sick.
[19:51] Duke
    So Sade kept her promise, and cursed you.
[19:58] Alice
    Perhaps she has her own set of rules.
[20:01] Duke
    Rules...
[20:03] Alice
    For my sake, my mother spent
    such a long time asleep...
[20:14] Alice
    This song...
[20:16] Duke
    I understand why you blame yourself.
[20:19] Duke
    But if Sharon saw you now,
    I think she'd be even sadder.
[20:27] Duke
    Cheer up.
[20:29] Duke
    When you're sad...
[20:34] Duke
    It makes me sad, too.
[20:51] Alice
    Your Grace...
[20:59] Alice
    That was a wonderful song.
    Thank you.
[21:03] Duke
    Glad you liked it.
[21:05] Alice
    I'd like to thank you for that performance.
[21:09] Alice
    Is there anything you'd like me to do?
[21:12] Alice
    I can do anything you want, Your Grace.
[21:15] Duke
    Keep your clothes on!
[21:17] Duke
    Something I want you to do...
[21:20] Duke
    A date...
[21:21] Duke
    Resting on your lap...
[21:22] Duke
    Sleeping in the same bed...
[21:23] Duke
    Mar—
[21:23] Duke
    Marr—
[21:27] Duke
    Marri—
[21:30] Duke
    So close!
[21:32] Duke
    I was about to say something
    that shouldn't be said casually!
[21:35] Alice
    Ma—
[21:37] Alice
    Make love like wild animals?
[21:39] Alice
    Or make me your b—
[21:40] Duke
    No!
[21:41] Duke
    What kind of books do you read?!
[21:45] Alice
    Think about what you'd like me to do.
[21:48] Alice
    Goodnight, Your Grace.
[21:50] Duke
    Goodnight, Alice.
[21:55] Alice
    What...
[21:57] Alice
    should I do?
SIGN    The Duke of Death and His Maid
    The Duke, Alice, and Mother and Mother.
