Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [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.
