[00:10] Glark     Unacceptable. [00:12] Glark     I won't accept this,     even if world turns upside-down. [00:17] Glark     I'm almost there... [00:20] Glark     I can see all of Zemuria bowing before me... [00:28] Glark     I was almost there! [00:33] Rogan     Hear that? [00:35] Rogan     Glark has shown his true colors. [00:37] Rogan     He's a maniac spouting     nonsense about ruling Zemuria. [00:43] Rogan     That's who this "hero" really is. [00:46] Glark     Lavian Winslet. [00:55] Glark     Lavi, there's no way out for you, either... [01:02] Glark     You can't escape the curse     that is being called a hero...

[02:58] Jaeger     We'd prefer not to get rough,     but we will restrain you if you resist. [03:02] Barzagli     Restrain us?! [03:04] Barzagli     What gives you the right     to spout this nonsense?! [03:07] Barzagli     So long as Master Glark lives,     we won't let you do as you please! [03:19] Jaeger     We're sorry, Commander! [03:22] Jaeger     We let the girl escape— [03:24] Jaeger     Th-There she is! Of all the places... [03:28] Jaeger     What? No way! [03:31] Jaeger     Y-You killed him? You really killed him?! [03:34] Rogan     Quiet. Calm down. [03:36] Jaeger     I see. You brought divine justice     down upon Glark. [03:39] Jaeger     Finally... Finally! [03:40] Lavian     That's not... [03:43] Rogan     Let the world know. [03:45] Rogan     We could not let Glark have his way anymore. [03:50] Jaeger     Sir! [03:53] Jaeger     Glark is dead!     Our commander, Rogan, has killed Glark! [03:58] Jaeger     A new revolution has begun! [04:01] Jaeger     And our leader, Rogan,     is the one who started it! [04:02] Rogan     With this, nobody will     lend an ear to the truth. [04:06] Rogan     The fiction written just now     will become reality. [04:10] Rogan     Both my squad and yours... [04:12] Rogan     We were really only looking     for an excuse to destroy each other. [04:18] Jaeger     Commander! Is that girl... [04:24] Jaeger     R–Rogan! [04:25] Jaeger     How dare you?! [04:32] Rogan     Go. [04:37] Rogan     That's enough. [04:45] Rogan     The old tree has finally withered away, then... [05:02] Rogan     Let it go, Glark. [05:05] Rogan     Do you refuse to go unarmed to hell, too? [05:21] Barzagli     What did you say? [05:23] Barzagli     I-It can't be! [05:25] Female Councilor     He killed Master Glark? Is Rogan insane?! [05:29] Jaeger     This country has no need     for a withered hero anymore. [05:33] Jaeger     Justice is on our side! [05:34] Barzagli     Glark is... [05:37] Barzagli     Master Glark is our hope, our light! [05:41] Barzagli     He can't die! [05:46] Barzagli     What's so funny?! [05:48] Kiedis     Glark ran out of luck! [05:51] Kiedis     This was as far as he was fated to go. [05:55] Kiedis     We were tricked! [05:57] Kiedis     We fell for his sweet talk! [06:00] Barzagli     You little...! [06:04] Barzagli     Let go of me! Unhand me, I say! [06:07] Barzagli     Master Glark isn't dead! He can't be dead! [06:10] Barzagli     Master Glark is forever! [06:17] Old Leader     Is this confirmed? [06:19] Messenger     Yes, the legislature has fallen     to Rogan and the radicals. [06:24] Messenger     All areas have been put under martial law. [06:26] Old Leader     Have we summoned our men? [06:28] Dren     We have. [06:30] Dren     But some of them have already     been captured by Rogan, [06:34] Dren     so we don't know how many can join us... [06:42] Iseria     Tak! Have you seen Lavi? [06:45] Tak     Iseria? [06:46] Tak     Nah. I'm looking for Ivano, too. [06:49] Tak     Will they make it, with     everything that's going down? [06:52] Tak     But what's going to happen next? [06:55] Tak     With Master Glark dead... [07:01] Iseria     Lavi... [07:11] Dren     A symbol? [07:13] Old Leader     If Master Glark is no more, [07:16] Old Leader     there'll be no one left to unite     the different factions here. [07:21] Old Leader     We need a symbol to rally our troops. [07:24] Dren     You mean the hero's grandchild? [07:27] Old Leader     Yes. [07:28] Old Leader     Where is she? [07:29] Dren     She's not here yet. [07:31] Old Leader     Hurry up and take custody of her. [07:33] Old Leader     We will definitely need her at some point. [07:37] Jaeger     This is terrible! [07:38] Dren     What's wrong? [07:39] Jaeger     We're surrounded! [07:41] Jaeger     This whole building is! [08:01] Old Leader     He's gone and done it, that damned Rogan. [08:04] Deputy Commander     But why are the archaisms here? [08:06] Deputy Commander     Didn't Master Glark have     complete control over them? [08:11] Dren     Don't tell me, that device     to activate the archaisms... [08:16] Lavian     Did Rogan take it? [08:35] Rogan     How does it feel to be     stripped of your hero's armor? [08:40] Rogan     Is it a load off your mind? [08:47] Rogan     Did you make your dog howl at me     to shut me up from the afterlife? [08:52] Rogan     I suppose you would still     struggle, even in death. [08:59] Rogan     However... [09:01] Rogan     There's nothing left for you to do. [09:06] Rogan     Other than to wait and watch, like always. [09:14] Rogan     If the golden fruit dangles off a cliffside     tree, I will gladly reach out for it. [09:20] Rogan     Whether I fall or not, I won't     seize anything if I hesitate. [09:26] Jayna     You're always like that. All or nothing. [09:29] Jayna     If you're going to fall,     don't drag me down with you. [09:32] Rogan     Is that you, vixen? [09:34] Jayna     You've had too much to drink.     Your back is wide open. [09:38] Jayna     I could take a shot anytime. [09:40] Rogan     Well, did you shoot someone in the back? [09:45] Rogan     I'm amazed you're still here. [09:47] Rogan     I was sure you would've joined     the other side or been captured. [09:54] Jayna     Rude. I'm taking a neutral stance. [09:59] Rogan     Awfully unbalanced for "neutral," I'd say. [10:07] Jayna     Drinking to his memory? [10:08] Jayna     I doubt he'd be happy,     being mourned by the man who killed him. [10:13] Rogan     How shameless. [10:15] Rogan     Power is a mother that births madness. [10:19] Rogan     Glark may have once had this     country's best interests at heart [10:23] Rogan     as he sincerely dreamed of unifying Zemuria. [10:28] Rogan     However, that dream turned [10:31] Rogan     into just another means     to prove his own greatness. [10:38] Rogan     What a fool. [10:40] Jayna     Really? [10:41] Jayna     I think he was quite heroic. [10:45] Jayna     "A hero stands out from the crowd     and only grows grander with time." [10:51] Jayna     He once said that. A rare complaint,     coming from Glark of all people. [10:58] Jayna     That's why he was forced to     keep growing grander, no matter what. [11:04] Jayna     Until he burst.     It's like some kind of curse. [11:12] Rogan     Ridiculous. [11:17] Rogan     And? What are you planning on doing? [11:21] Rogan     Do you think you can pretend     to be neutral forever? [11:25] Jayna     You're not so stubborn that you would     turn away someone of value, are you? [11:31] Jayna     I just want to see for myself,     and enjoy the sight. [11:35] Rogan     See what? [11:37] Jayna     What your newfound power [11:40] Jayna     gives birth to. [11:45] Rogan     While he insisted that we wait and see, [11:48] Rogan     and extolled cooperation with other nations, [11:50] Rogan     what Glark was really planning was     to sate his thirst for domination [11:56] Rogan     with meaningless aggression and war. [11:59] Rogan     If I hadn't taken out the withered hero,     North Ambria would have had no future. [12:04] Rogan     This choice I made and     carried out after much anguish [12:08] Rogan     is the righteous will of our Goddess Aidios. [12:10] Rogan     And... [12:12] Rogan     It continues the spirit of     Vlad Winslet, our true hero. [12:17] Rogan     I declare here and now... [12:19] Rogan     that a new revolution has begun! [12:23] Rogan     We have struggled and     struggled in this northern land, [12:27] Rogan     and in order to regain our pride, [12:27] Iseria     A little higher! [12:29] Tak     I-I can't! My toes can't take any more! [12:29] Rogan     I swear to stand up to any and all     oppression, never hesitate to fight, [12:31] Iseria     Hey, stop staggering! [12:33] Tak     Are you done? Done yet?! [12:35] Rogan     and build a glorious     future for North Ambria! [12:40] Dren     How did it look to you? [12:42] Iseria     Impossible. They're all over     the place, even the rear. [12:46] Dren     How about you? [12:47] Jaeger     I tried escaping through     a thinly manned point, [12:51] Jaeger     but those machines set their sights     on me as soon as I got close. [12:54] Jaeger     There's no room     for even an ant to crawl out. [12:57] Dren     I see. [12:59] Dren     We're out of options... [13:01] Dren     Unless we do something about those archaisms. [13:04] Lavian     What do I do? [13:06] Ivano     Hey, what are you doing? [13:08] Ivano     Why's the hero's grandchild here? [13:11] Lavian     Ivano, you're okay? [13:13] Ivano     'Course I am! [13:15] Ivano     Things have gotten interesting. [13:17] Ivano     Thrills, shocks, suspense, it's all here! [13:21] Ivano     I almost got caught     by their guards just now. [13:24] Ivano     But hey, my face got me out of that mess. [13:28] Lavian     Your face? [13:29] Ivano     I haven't spent eight—no,     nine years here for nothing! [13:33] Ivano     As a veteran soldier, I've got a bunch     of connections and favors to call in, [13:38] Ivano     even among Rogan's men. [13:41] Lavian     Wow, impressive. [13:43] Ivano     You think I'm lying?! [13:45] Ivano     Even the elite squad were     my lackeys as trainees! [13:50] Lavian     Shh! [13:53] Ivano     But man... [13:54] Ivano     With all them whatchamacallits     surrounding the place, [13:57] Ivano     there's no way for us to get in. [14:00] Ivano     What did I even come all the way     here from the Palace Pub for? [14:04] Lavian     Palace Pub? [14:06] Ivano     It's just a tiny watering hole     close to the Legislative Palace. [14:10] Ivano     Doesn't live up to its name.     I went there for drinks last night... [14:13] Lavian     So you came here from the Legislative     Palace without being caught? [14:16] Ivano     I told you, my face got me out of that mess! [14:20] Lavian     You know, you kinda stink.     You reek of sewage. [14:25] Ivano     You'd better reward me handsomely. [14:28] Ivano     I can't believe I'm down here,     walking back to the palace. [14:31] Lavian     I'll buy you northern borscht. [14:32] Ivano     Nah, I got bored of it. [14:35] Ivano     Oh, that's right!     You're the hero's grandchild, [14:38] Ivano     so can you pull some strings     to get me promoted? [14:40] Ivano     Any rank will do, as long     as it's higher than Dren! [14:43] Lavian     Die. [14:43] Ivano     Hey! [14:45] Ivano     There are better ways to refuse, damn it. [14:49] Ivano     But are you serious about     sneaking into the palace? [14:53] Lavian     Yeah. [14:55] Lavian     I'll take back the archaism     device that Rogan has. [14:59] Lavian     Unless we do that, nobody can make a move. [15:02] Ivano     Heh. You're as wild as ever. [15:05] Ivano     Or actually, you're batshit crazy. SIGN    Imperial Capital Heimdallr,     Erebonian Empire SIGN    Imperial Capital Heimdallr,     Erebonian Empire [15:15] Marty     Here we go! [15:17] Marty     The fish around here are too fast. SIGN    Are you satisfied with fishing? SIGN    If you'd like to go somewhere, I can take you. [15:24] Marty     I just wanted to take a walk. [15:27] Marty     And drop the act.     I know you're monitoring me. [15:32] Marty     Hup. [15:37] Marty     Looks like Scarecrow     doesn't fully trust me yet. [15:42] Marty     You were monitoring us     back then, too, right? SIGN    Back then? [15:45] Marty     The time Lavi got separated from us     and ended up underground. [15:50] Marty     You were talking about some doll     or whatever, remember? [15:55] Marty     So, what's this hero of the Empire like? SIGN    I have no reason to tell you. [16:01] Marty     So you do still see me as the enemy. SIGN    That's not it. [16:05] Marty     So what's the problem? SIGN    He enjoys fishing. [16:10] Marty     The hero? We could get along! [16:14] Marty     What else? Is he an obvious     go-getter and all that jazz? SIGN    He's perfectly ordinary, though he does have an indecent side. [16:23] Marty     Indecent? [16:25] Marty     You're so funny! [16:31] Marty     Wha... SIGN    Never do that again. [16:36] Marty     Gotcha... [16:39] Marty     But, you know, should the Empire really be     relying on an indecent guy to protect it? SIGN    I'm not sure. SIGN    He seems unhappy with his standing as a hero. [16:49] Marty     Now that's an interesting hero. [16:52] Marty     In a way, that might keep him sane. SIGN    Is that so? SIGN    Hello? SIGN    Yes. Please wait, I'll pass it on. [17:03] Marty     Huh? What's up? SIGN    Haliask has been placed under martial law. SIGN    The legislature has been captured, and the Lightning Lord of the North, Glark... [17:11] Marty     ...was killed, huh? Pass me that. [17:14] Marty     Scarecrow? [17:17] Marty     Rog was behind all of it? [17:20] Marty     I see. [17:21] Marty     And what happened to that? [17:22] Marty     The demand for reparations     from North Ambria? [17:27] Rogan     We absolutely refuse! SIGN    Juno Naval Fortress, Lamare Province [17:30] Aurelia     So they refused after all. SIGN    Everything is going as planned. SIGN    Former Noble Alliance Base SIGN    It's just that we're dealing with the Aurora Phenomenon instead now. SIGN    Former Noble Alliance Base [17:39] Aurelia     It makes no difference     who we're dealing with. [17:41] Aurelia     Not for the Empire, nor those     pulling the strings in the shadows. SIGN    It seems we'll have to leave this fortress. [17:49] Aurelia     No need to be in such a rush. [17:52] Aurelia     The negotiations should continue, [17:54] Aurelia     in order to create an alibi     to show neighboring countries. SIGN    An alibi? [17:58] Aurelia     "Negotiations broke down,     even though we tried our best." [18:02] Aurelia     Putting on this farce will help     justify an invasion of North Ambria. [18:09] Aurelia     Either way, we will simply head     down the path laid out for us. [18:14] Dren     He refused? What a stupid move... [18:17] Old Leader     But given that it comes     with legislative approval, [18:20] Old Leader     that is North Ambria's official response, [18:23] Old Leader     regardless of who made the call. [18:27] Deputy Commander     Is he really getting ready for war? [18:30] Old Leader     I can only pray he's not getting ready     to lead North Ambria into Gehenna. [18:45] Jaegers     Yeah! [18:48] Ivano     I got it. They probably     refused the Empire's demands. [18:53] Lavian     I see... [18:53] Ivano     Is that such a big deal? [18:55] Lavian     This might be our chance to sneak in,     while they're celebrating. [19:00] Lavian     You said you had security     connections earlier, right? [19:04] Ivano     Huh? Yeah... [19:05] Ivano     There's one over there. [19:09] Ivano     Oh, him, as well. [19:10] Ivano     He owes me big time after losing     to me at cards a long time ago. [19:16] Lavian     You are good at cheating, I guess. [19:18] Ivano     Hey, you! That's lies and slander! [19:21] Lavian     Distract him. [19:22] Ivano     What was that? [19:23] Lavian     Make some small talk and distract him. [19:26] Ivano     Are you kidding me?! I could get captured! [19:29] Lavian     I'll consider getting you     that reward you asked for. [19:31] Ivano     You mean it? You'll think     about the promotion?! [19:35] Ivano     All right! Stand by! [19:39] Lavian     Sorry, I'm only going to think about it. [19:44] Jaeger     That's our Aurora Phenomenon!     He showed those Imperial pigs who's boss! [19:50] Jaeger     But this will definitely lead to battle. [19:53] Jaeger     Bring it on! [19:54] Jaeger     We'll show them what the elite     Northern Jaegers are capable of! [19:59] Jaeger     Yeah, that's right! We'll kick their asses! [20:01] Jaeger     We've got Rogan on our side. [20:07] Lavian     Why? [20:08] Talion     That's what I'd like to ask you.     Did Iseria dress you up like that? [20:14] Lavian     Everyone's trapped in the theater... [20:16] Talion     Not my concern. I'm neutral here. [20:20] Talion     So I have no reason to tell them     that you've snuck in here, either. [20:26] Talion     But things might change     the next time I see you. [20:29] Talion     How reckless, though. [20:31] Talion     Don't tell me your duty as     the hero's grandchild is driving you. [20:39] Talion     I don't know what you're     trying to do all by yourself, [20:42] Talion     but I pray that you     don't dig your own grave, [20:45] Talion     with your identity. [20:49] Lavian     Wait. [20:51] Lavian     Rogan wasn't the one who killed Glark. [20:54] Lavian     There's someone else pulling the strings. [20:57] Talion     What are you trying to say? [20:58] Lavian     Well, I mean... [21:01] Talion     Rogan's room is on the tenth floor,     all the way in the back. [21:03] Talion     He should be away attending     a meeting right now. [21:07] Talion     What other information     could you possibly want? [21:10] Talion     Now's not the time for needless distractions. [21:28] Lavian     A trap?! [21:29] Jaeger     Where?! [21:30] Jaeger     The tenth floor! [21:38] Jaeger     Not here! Go deeper in! [21:50] Lavian     Talion, you didn't... [21:52] Jaeger     Over here! [21:54] Jaeger     Hurry up! Don't let her get away!
