[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. [23:35] Rob     "The Duke, Alice, and Mother and Mother."
