[00:02] Sitri
    What are those supposed to be?
[00:03] Dantalion
    England's oceangoing force, the Royal Navy.
[00:06] Dantalion
    Arguably the strongest power
    in the world at the moment.
[00:09] Sitri
    Wow, humanity just can't
    sit still, can they?
[00:13] Dantalion
    Just how many centuries
    have you been asleep, Sitri?
[00:17] Sitri
    I've been up and about, now and again.
[00:20] Sitri
    But considering I can only sleep in lakes...
[00:23] Sitri
    Well, I guess I'm impressed.
[00:25] Dantalion
    Understandable. That said...
[00:28] Dantalion
    This wasn't the type of human
    battle that I fell in love with!
[00:31] Dantalion
    It's not war unless you're
    hacking each other into pieces!
[00:35] Sitri
    Uh-huh...
[00:36] Dantalion
    These humans are fragile!
    They die so easily!
[00:39] Dantalion
    And in spite of that, they
    idiotically let the authorities
[00:42] Dantalion
    command them into battles
    where they die in droves!
[00:44] Dantalion
    It makes no sense!
[00:45] Dantalion
    But that is exactly why it was beautiful!
[00:48] Dantalion
    It's why the moment that they stumble
    upon me, on the verge of death,
[00:51] Dantalion
    and forsake all pretense and pride
    to beg for help, is beyond sublime!
[01:04] Dantalion
    But now scores of them get blasted
    away with ease! It's such a waste!
[01:08] Dantalion
    Where's the poetry?!
[01:09] Sitri
    You're still as distasteful as ever.
[01:13] Dantalion
    And so, I've decided to enjoy this era
    in a way that's more suited to my tastes.
[01:20] Dantalion
    I got myself a contractor
    not long ago, you see...
[01:24] Dantalion
    And we're planning
    on starting a war for fun.
[01:29] Dantalion
    What about you, Sitri?
[01:33] Dantalion
    This world's a tumultuous one...
[01:35] Dantalion
    How long do you plan on being an outcast?
[03:14] Snow
    Finally back in London!
SIGN    Night Seven "The Echo of Gunfire and the Rise of the Curtain"
[03:17] Snow
    And the sewage reeks as badly as ever!
[03:20] Snow
    Smells like freedom to me, though.
[03:22] Snow
    The commander found out I kept
    quiet about Wis and the redhead,
[03:26] Snow
    so I got suspended and lectured...
[03:29] (Flashback) Takenami
    You're going to be on
    a short leash for a while.
[03:32] (Flashback) Takenami
    Before you go out, I expect you to tell me
    where you're going, who you're going to see,
[03:35] (Flashback) Takenami
    and when you'll be meeting them.
[03:37] (Flashback) Takenami
    And I expect you back by 10:00 PM.
[03:40] Takenami
    Is that clear?
[03:43] Snow
    Still, I'm gonna enjoy my drinks today.
[03:48] Watson
    You're late, Snow.
[03:50] Snow
    Doc Watson.
[03:51] Snow
    Luther.
[03:52] Watson
    We've already started. Go on, have a seat.
[03:58] Watson
    What's wrong?
[04:00] Snow
    Nah, it's nothing.
[04:03] Watson
    Now then...
[04:04] Watson
    To a reunion between old war chums.
[04:06] Trio
    Cheers!
[04:08] Watson
    I must say, Snow, you hardly
    look the part of a clergyman.
[04:13] Snow
    Well, I don't think anyone would've
    guessed you were a combat medic, Doc.
[04:17] Snow
    And then there's Luther...
    still wearing the old uniform, huh?
[04:21] Luther
    Yeah.
[04:22] Luther
    I got tired of people
    asking about what happened.
[04:29] Luther
    This makes it pretty clear
    that I was in Afghanistan.
[04:33] Snow
    I see...
[04:35] Watson
    Did you have any luck
    reaching your family?
[04:39] Luther
    None at all.
[04:40] Luther
    Considering I don't remember a thing...
[04:58] (Flashback) Snow
    Luther!
[05:07] (Flashback) Snow
    Luther!
[05:11] Luther
    All I remember is my time on the battlefield,
[05:16] Luther
    and the last two years
    leading up to today.
[05:19] Watson
    Luther...
[05:21] Snow
    Gotta say,
[05:23] Snow
    I have to imagine it's rough
    to be alone in your condition.
[05:27] Snow
    You have anyone looking after you?
[05:33] Luther
    You could say that.
[05:36] Watson
    Well, that's a relief!
    I was worried about exactly that.
[05:39] Luther
    You never change, do you, Doc?
[05:45] Snow
    See you around.
[05:46] Watson
    Right. Until next time.
[05:47] Luther
    Yeah.
[05:58] Luther
    Snow.
[06:01] Luther
    Care to explain why you followed me?
[06:03] Snow
    How about I ask the questions?
[06:05] Snow
    Like, "Why are you with a demon?"
[06:08] Sitri
    Wow, he really did notice.
[06:11] Dantalion
    Quite impressive.
[06:13] Snow
    It's what I do for a living.
[06:15] Snow
    And you reeked of demons, frankly.
[06:18] Sitri
    You don't seem to be able to tell what
    kind of demons you're dealing with, though.
[06:27] Sitri
    Which would be two of the Thirteen
    Calamities of the Wasteland. I'm Sitri,
[06:31] Sitri
    and this chap is Dantalion.
[06:33] Luther
    Sorry, Snow. But grabbing you was
    the whole reason I showed up today.
[06:40] Takenami
    Snow's not back yet?!
[06:42] Kalim
    No, sir.
[06:43] Takenami
    That idiot! For pity's sake...
[06:47] Takenami
    Kalim, let the upper brass know
    I'm going to look for him.
[06:54] Snow
    Shit...
[06:56] Sitri
    Hi there.
[06:58] Sitri
    I'm here to check up on you.
[07:00] Snow
    You bastard!
[07:02] Sitri
    I have to admit, I love being
    able to converse while in this form.
[07:08] Sitri
    I was wondering, would you be
    interested in forming a pact with me?
[07:13] Sitri
    Your friend has one with Dantalion.
[07:17] Sitri
    It seems to be a bit of a trend
    among great demons, lately.
[07:23] Sitri
    I don't see the appeal of humans...
[07:26] Sitri
    And certainly not why
    such a short time together
[07:28] Sitri
    would make you want to
    give everything up for them.
[07:34] Sitri
    Are they really that precious?
[07:38] Snow
    How the bloody hell should I know?
[07:40] Sitri
    You sure about that?
[07:41] Sitri
    I seem to remember you
    being on pretty close terms
[07:44] Sitri
    with someone who has a demon contract.
[07:46] Sitri
    I wonder what she would say?
[07:53] Diana
    Blue sky!
[07:55] Diana
    White clouds!
[07:56] Diana
    The peaceful towns!
[07:58] Diana
    We're here!
[07:59] Wis
    The Lake District!
[08:06] Marbas
    What did I do to deserve
    having to travel with you?
[08:09] Naberius
    Believe me, the feeling's mutual!
[08:12] Diana
    Are you two still going on about that?
[08:13] Wis
    I'm so sorry, Lady Diana.
[08:15] Diana
    You needn't apologize.
    I wanted to come along.
[08:19] Naberius
    I sure as hell didn't, though.
[08:22] Marbas
    That's good to know, because
    I would certainly hope not.
[08:27] Diana
    Give it a rest!
[08:30] Diana
    A long trip like this could use
    an additional set of feminine hands.
[08:33] Diana
    And as a lady, I can hardly
    ignore a friend in need.
[08:38] Wis
    Lady Diana...
[08:42] Diana
    Let's head over to the lake!
[08:44] Wis
    Right!
[08:47] Naberius
    What exactly do you want with this guy, anyway?
[08:50] Naberius
    From an underwater shut-in
    like Sitri, of all people...
[08:55] Marbas
    Not so much him personally,
    but rather his Mist Incense Burner.
[09:00] Marbas
    It's the perfect tool for disguising oneself.
[09:04] Marbas
    The Sword Cross Knights know
    what Wisteria looks like now.
[09:07] Marbas
    I intend to borrow it
    in order to help keep her safe.
[09:12] Marbas
    There is also...
[09:16] Marbas
    the fact that I dislike getting into the water.
[09:18] Naberius
    Well, I ain't doing it either!
[09:20] Marbas
    Surely you can dog paddle, you mongrel!
[09:22] Naberius
    What'd you call me, you bastard?!
[09:24] Marbas
    Blast you...
[09:25] Naberius
    You rotten...
[09:26] Diana
    Naberius! Bring our luggage over, could you?
[09:31] Naberius
    All that stuff you just bought?
    What is it, anyway?
[09:36] Naberius
    Given the pleasant weather,
    what else could we do...
[09:41] Naberius
    But have a picnic?
[09:45] Naberius
    Now, enjoy.
[09:47] Wis
    This bread is good! It's so good!
[09:51] Diana
    Here, Naberius.
[09:54] Naberius
    That's really good!
[09:55] Diana
    Isn't it?
[09:56] Marbas
    You're quick to adapt, aren't you?
[09:58] Naberius
    Sod off.
[09:59] Wis
    You know, Marbas...
[10:03] Wis
    The air here is so fresh.
[10:06] Marbas
    The air is...
[10:16] Marbas
    I see. I think I understand what you mean.
[10:20] Marbas
    Wisteria, that's—
[10:24] Diana
    That's Windermere Lake.
[10:25] Diana
    It's the largest natural lake in England.
[10:29] Marbas
    Er, that was going to be my job...
[10:33] Naberius
    Come on, man, kids around that age
[10:36] Naberius
    always have more fun around peers
    of their own age and gender.
[10:41] Naberius
    Don't you know nothing?
[10:42] Marbas
    I happen to be the same
    age and gender as you,
[10:45] Marbas
    and I can hardly say that's the case!
[10:48] Naberius
    Well, you're not exactly a brat, are you?
[10:50] Naberius
    And the feeling's mutual, you ass!
[10:52] Marbas
    You make for poor conversation,
    that's for certain!
[10:52] Diana
    Those two really are childish, aren't they?
[10:55] Marbas
    With your canine level of intellect!
[10:55] Wis
    Um, Lady Diana...
[10:56] Naberius
    Like a cat's much smarter!
[10:57] Diana
    What's the matter?
[10:58] Naberius
    How about you roll on the
    ground and show your belly?!
[10:58] Wis
    Well...
[11:03] Diana
    It's lucky that there was a shop nearby.
[11:06] Wis
    I envy how demons don't need
    to use the restroom.
[11:10] Sitri
    Hello there, ladies.
[11:14] Sitri
    I happen to know who you are.
[11:17] Diana
    He seems suspicious...
[11:19] Diana
    Let's move along.
[11:20] Wis
    Lady Diana...
[11:21] Wis
    Was the person who just spoke to us human?
[11:25] Sitri
    Wow, you're pretty sharp!
    Just like your brother.
[11:30] Wis
    You know about my brother?
[11:33] Sitri
    Tell me, Wisteria, my dear...
[11:35] Sitri
    Why not drop Marbas and get with me?
[11:40] Sitri
    If it was to save your brother...
[11:44] Sitri
    Would you form a contract with me?
[11:48] Wis
    To save my brother?
[11:51] Sitri
    Yep!
[11:52] Sitri
    See, a friend of mine has
    him captive at the moment.
[12:04] Wis
    Marbas!
[12:05] Marbas
    What's the meaning of this, Sitri?!
[12:07] Wis
    Sitri!
[12:08] Diana
    So this is him?
[12:10] Sitri
    Now, that is scary.
[12:17] Sitri
    I'm surprised. You always
    seemed so composed, Marbas,
[12:22] Sitri
    but you get rather flustered
    when it comes to this girl.
[12:26] Marbas
    I'm not here to disrupt
    whatever you're doing.
[12:28] Marbas
    I just want to borrow the Censer of Mists.
[12:30] Marbas
    Once I have it, I'll be on my way.
[12:33] Sitri
    Hate to break it to you,
    but I already loaned it to Dantalion.
[12:37] Marbas
    Dantalion?
[12:38] Naberius
    There's another blast from the past.
[12:40] Wis
    Is that who kidnapped my brother?!
[12:43] Sitri
    It's a whole situation, really.
[12:50] Wis
    Marbas?
[12:51] Marbas
    The Sword Cross of the knightly order...
[12:54] Marbas
    And the boy's earrings.
[12:57] Wis
    You...
[13:00] Sitri
    That certainly got you!
[13:01] Sitri
    So, how about an answer?
[13:03] Sitri
    Marbas or Snow. Which will you choose?
[13:06] Sitri
    Which one matters more to you?
[13:11] Sitri
    Come on, let's hear it.
[13:13] Wis
    I have nothing to say to you.
[13:16] Wis
    Both of them are irreplaceable to me.
[13:20] Wis
    But those feelings are something
    that belong only to me.
[13:25] Wis
    I have nothing to say to
    an insensitive brute like you!
[13:34] Marbas
    Explain, Sitri.
[13:35] Marbas
    What exactly is going on?
[13:37] Marbas
    What is Dantalion planning?
[13:41] Sitri
    A war, apparently.
[13:53] Luther
    I thought we were hidden...
[13:56] Dantalion
    It's fine. Normal people
    can't tell this alley is open.
[14:01] Takenami
    One arm and one eye...
[14:03] Takenami
    You're Luther Roosevelt, aren't you?
[14:05] Takenami
    I'm surprised to find you have a demon pact.
[14:08] Dantalion
    So, my disguise doesn't faze him?
[14:11] Dantalion
    The Sword Cross Knights
    have some decent pawns.
[14:16] Takenami
    What did you do with one of my men?
[14:18] Luther
    Nice. I was hoping to fight someone like you!
[14:22] Takenami
    That was sudden!
[14:41] Takenami
    Where does that brute strength come from?!
[14:43] Takenami
    Is that what you got
    in your demonic bargain?
[14:47] Luther
    Nope. I've always been this way.
[14:49] Takenami
    What in the world are you?!
[14:52] Luther
    You must be Takenami, right?
[14:55] Luther
    Snow mentioned something
    about knowing a Japanese guy.
[15:00] Luther
    He whined about how you made him
    "seiza" when you were mad.
[15:04] Luther
    What's a seiza?
[15:06] Luther
    I've heard that his comrades...
[15:08] Luther
    Well, not them, but the captains
    in the Sword Cross Knights
[15:11] Luther
    are capable of single-handedly
    defeating greater demons.
[15:14] Luther
    That part seems to be true.
[15:16] Luther
    Don't worry, though.
    Snow wasn't the one who told me.
[15:22] Luther
    He's been pretty stubborn about not spilling
    anything as regards to your order.
[15:28] Luther
    No matter what we do to him.
[15:31] Luther
    Such a nice guy.
    Made him easy prey, though.
[15:49] Takenami
    See how you're on your knees?
[15:51] Takenami
    That's the seiza position.
[15:53] Takenami
    Next, I'll cut your head off
    to teach you about the dogeza.
[15:56] Luther
    Looks like you're finally getting serious.
[16:04] Sitri
    I know.
[16:05] Sitri
    Why don't you all come to London, too?
[16:07] Marbas
    London?
[16:09] Sitri
    Yeah.
[16:10] Sitri
    I'm pretty sure it's
    about to get interesting.
[16:13] Sitri
    Dantalion would be thrilled, too.
[16:15] Sitri
    And Wis might get to see
    her beloved brother again...
[16:21] Sitri
    Although it might be the last time.
[16:24] Marbas
    You mentioned a war.
[16:27] Marbas
    Frankly, I have no interest
    in being caught up in such madness.
[16:30] Marbas
    Why would you? It seems odd.
[16:34] Sitri
    Like I said, I'm curious.
[16:36] Sitri
    What is it that makes you, and the humans,
    willing to fight for such nonsense?
[17:06] Takenami
    It's strange...
[17:07] Takenami
    Why hasn't he slowed down?
[17:10] Takenami
    Isn't he feeling any pain?
[17:27] Takenami
    How can you still move with those injuries?
[17:31] Luther
    This is nothing.
[17:33] Luther
    I'm more used to feeling pain than not.
[17:37] Luther
    My memories from before
    the war are missing...
[17:40] Luther
    Which means, right now, while I'm
    hurting and trying to kill you,
[17:44] Luther
    is more normal to me than anything else.
[17:47] Luther
    Fighting's the only way I know how to live.
[17:52] Luther
    Snow asked me something stupid.
[17:55] Luther
    "Why are you wearing that uniform?"
[17:58] Luther
    Isn't it obvious?
[18:00] Luther
    Because I want to wage more war!
[18:04] Takenami
    Let me ask you, then...
[18:06] Takenami
    Do you have any pride as a soldier?
[18:10] Takenami
    As a soldier in this country's army,
[18:12] Takenami
    you should fight to protect its
    people and their livelihoods.
[18:15] Takenami
    I'm asking if you're aware of that.
[18:19] Takenami
    I thought as much...
[18:21] Takenami
    As a member of the Sword Cross Knights,
[18:23] Takenami
    it's my job to defend
    the people from demons.
[18:27] Takenami
    And you're no more than
    a demon's minion, a menace to society!
[18:31] Takenami
    Now, why don't you hand Snow over?
[18:33] Takenami
    Trying to reason with a madman is exhausting!
[18:44] Luther
    So heavy!
[18:46] Luther
    You and Snow both...
[18:49] Luther
    You drag too much baggage into your battles.
[19:01] Dantalion
    Good...
[19:03] Dantalion
    Fantastic, really!
[19:04] Dantalion
    To think I'd get to witness
    such a glorious battle so soon!
[19:07] Dantalion
    The spray of sweat!
    The red hot flush of blood!
[19:12] Dantalion
    It's glorious!
[19:20] Dantalion
    Don't mind me! I won't interfere!
[19:24] Dantalion
    Now, show me more!
[19:34] Takenami
    Kalim!
[19:35] Kalim
    Captain Takenami, I've got your back.
[19:39] Kalim
    Let's finish him off, now!
[19:45] Takenami
    Kalim!
[19:46] Dantalion
    You just had to ruin it.
[19:49] Dantalion
    You'll pay that with your life!
[20:02] Dantalion
    What have I done?!
[20:05] Dantalion
    Such a waste! Do you know
    how hard it is to find a samurai?!
[20:09] Dantalion
    This is exactly why
    I shouldn't revert to this form!
[20:15] Luther
    He jumped out in front
    of one of his men to save him.
[20:18] Luther
    It's easy to understand
    why Snow is such a softy.
[20:22] Luther
    So, what do we do with them?
[20:25] Dantalion
    What's done is done, sadly.
[20:28] Dantalion
    But they are valuable members
    of the Sword Cross Knights.
[20:32] Dantalion
    I'm sure they'll be of great use.
[20:36] Wis
    I'll go.
[20:37] Marbas
    Wisteria?
[20:38] Wis
    I'm going to London to save my brother.
[20:41] Wis
    I know he'd do the same for me!
[20:45] Sitri
    Save him? Do you really think you—
[20:48] Marbas
    At this point, she'll never back down.
[20:50] Marbas
    Don't take this girl lightly.
[20:52] Marbas
    I happen to have a very high opinion
    of how strong-willed she can be.
[21:02] Sitri
    Suit yourself.
[21:04] Sitri
    I'll be waiting in London.
[21:11] Sitri
    It should be more fun with you lot around.
[22:57] Luther
    Boss...
[22:59] Luther
    You're actually gonna reward me, right?
[23:03] Luther
    I'll keep risking my life
    in battle like you want.
[23:07] Luther
    In exchange, you're supposed to
    restore my memories, piece by piece.
[23:11] Luther
    That's our deal.
[23:14] Dantalion
    I'm a bit concerned that doing so could
    reduce you to a more mundane warrior.
[23:21] Dantalion
    But no matter. It's too
    late to stop this now.
[23:25] Dantalion
    Look there. It's about to begin.
