[02:14] Servant A
    I can't make your makeup
    look nice if you're crying.
[02:17] Girl A
    I'd prefer that.
[02:20] Girl A
    Don't make me look pretty.

[03:17] Auctioneer
    Six and a half million.
[03:20] Auctioneer
    Can I get seven million?
[03:22] ---
    Seven million.
[03:24] Auctioneer
    I have seven and a half million.
[03:28] Collide
    What a bunch of cheapskates.
[03:30] Collide
    Bid like you mean it.
[03:32] Butler
    We've already exceeded
    the cost of acquiring them.
[03:35] Butler
    You've made quite a profit, Lady Collide.
[03:39] Butler
    What "cost"? All you do is burn
    their villages to the ground.
[03:42] Butler
    She's a beautiful girl.
[03:43] Butler
    I wish I could keep her.
[03:46] Butler
    She'd better not be auctioned off for cheap.
[03:52] Girl A
    Please...
[03:54] Girl A
    Please let me go. I want to see my mother.
[03:57] Dia
    In that case, you should try to look pretty.
[04:01] Girl A
    Huh?
[04:02] Dia
    You're a girl, after all.

    Well, it should just about be my turn.

[04:43] Dia
    Are these men the target of this job?
[04:46] Dia
    They're obviously evil-looking men.
[04:49] Dia
    How many girls have they
    brought to tears until now?
[04:53] Dia
    Latem etaerc!
[04:59] Dia
    Now, then...
[05:00] Dia
    I'll show no mercy. Prepare yourselves.
[05:03] Dia

[05:07] Dia
    Erif! Erif!
[05:12] Man A
    What the hell is going on?!
[05:15] Tarte
    Are there any among you who reluctantly
    followed Marquess Collide's orders
[05:18] ---
    because you had no other choice?
[05:22] Tarte
    Good. Then I can kill you
    without reservations.
[05:28] Man B
    You brat!
[05:30] Man D
    Damn kid!
[05:34] Man E
    You bitch!
[05:42] Tarte
    Flee with the others.
[05:43] Girl A
    I will.
[05:49] Dia
    Daoler! Erif!
[05:53] Collide
    Where are the guards?!
[05:55] Butler
    Th-They should arrive shortly.
[05:57] Dia
    Marquess Collide!
[06:04] Dia
    He's a magic-user!
[06:12] Tarte
    Erif!
[06:23] Dia
    Tarte, buy me time to chant.
[06:25] Tarte
    Yes, Dia-sama.
[06:29] Dia
    Tnemele noitceles, erif.
[06:33] Dia
    Aera thgie, egnar xis, rewop eerht.
[06:38] Tarte
    Daoler!
[06:40] Dia
    Erif cigam!
[06:45] Maha
    That's Dia and Tarte's signal.
[06:47] Maha
    Lugh-niisan, Marquess Collide
    was guilty after all.
[06:51] Lugh
    Thanks. Your information was correct, Maha.
[06:56] Maha
    When I followed the money,
    I discovered huge profits of unknown origin.
[07:01] Maha
    They attack villages while
    disguised as bandits
[07:03] ---
    and kidnap young girls to sell
    them off to other nobles.
[07:06] Maha
    It's unforgivable.
[07:08] Lugh
    Sending Dia and Tarte undercover
    was the right choice.
[07:11] Lugh
    It takes time to get evidence
    on a members-only auction.
[07:16] Lugh
    We wouldn't want the number of
    victims to rise in the meantime.
[07:16] Tarte
    Are you all right?
[07:18] Girl B
    Yes.
[07:18] Dia
    This way.
[07:19] Lugh
    They went too far when they attacked
    a village in a neighboring country.
[07:22] Lugh
    Banditry and human trafficking
    are serious crimes.
[07:26] Lugh
    By committing such crimes
    across national borders,
[07:28] Lugh
    they endangered international affairs.
[07:31] Lugh
    Target confirmed.
[07:33] Lugh
    In accordance with royal orders and the
    principles of the House of Tuatha Dé,
[07:37] ---
    Marquess Collide and those who participated
    in the sales shall be eliminated.
[07:45] Assistant
    Hit.
[07:46] Assassin
    Who are we eliminating next?
[07:49] Assistant
    McDonnell. He's 20 feet to the
    left in front of the sedan.
[07:53] Assistant
    Hit. Tommy and Jeffrey, 30 feet to the left.
[08:01] Assistant
    Hit. Yu Chen, 70 feet to the right.
[08:04] Assistant
    Crap. He hid behind the van.
[08:07] Assassin
    You should've told me that first.
[08:14] Assassin
    Mission complete.
[08:15] ---
    Let's get out of here.
[08:16] Assistant
    But there are still more mafia members.
[08:19] Assistant
    We could wipe them out now.
[08:21] Assassin
    The organization ordered
    us to assassinate six men.
[08:25] Assassin
    I'm not killing anyone else.
[08:27] Assistant
    There are still key people down there!
[08:30] Assistant
    If we let them live, the mafia
    will resume activity and—
[08:33] Assassin
    Don't get the wrong idea.
[08:34] Assassin
    We're not heroes of justice.
[08:38] Assassin
    We're tools of the organization.
[08:40] Assassin
    We don't do anything we're not ordered to do.
[08:41] Assistant
    But...
[08:42] Assassin
    If the organization wanted to wipe out the
    mafia, they would've ordered us to do so.
[08:47] Assassin
    Their goal is probably to leave the mafia's
    structure in place and replace its leaders.
[08:53] Assassin
    It's possible that members of the
    organization are undercover among them.
[08:57] Assassin
    We can't kill them without authorization.
[09:00] Assassin
    The mission went as planned. We're leaving.
[09:04] Assistant
    Yes, sir.
[09:15] Assassin
    Move.
[09:16] Assassin
    I'm driving.
[09:18] Assistant
    What's going on?
[09:22] Assassin
    We're fleeing.
[09:24] Assassin
    We've been spotted by an
    unmanned reconnaissance drone.
[09:28] Assistant
    It'll find us unless we turn off our lights.
[09:30] Assassin
    No matter. Ready your weapon.
[09:32] Assistant
    What are we going to do?
[09:33] Assassin
    Do as I say.
[09:35] Assassin
    The border guards are coming.
[09:50] Radio A
    Target vehicle spotted.
[09:51] Radio A
    Secure the vehicle.
[09:54] Guard
    Suspects have opened fire!
[09:56] Radio A
    Permission to engage granted.
[10:11] Assassin
    Once we're discovered by
    a drone, we're screwed.
[10:13] Assassin
    Its infrared camera can see
    the heat of the engine.
[10:16] Assassin
    So we'll leave the headlights
    on to attract its attention.
[10:22] Assassin
    Hang your gun from the roof.
[10:25] Assassin
    Pass a wire across the trigger.
[10:28] Assassin
    When the bumpy road causes the gun
    to shake, it'll fire automatically.
[10:33] Assassin
    Drones are equipped with excellent
    cameras, but they have only one.
[10:37] Assassin
    It'll prioritize following an obvious target.
[10:41] Assassin
    While they're chasing the
    car, we'll leap from it.
[10:48] Assassin
    Once they're attacked,
    they're guaranteed to strike back.
[10:52] Assassin
    They won't overlook it.
[10:54] Assassin
    The car just needs to lure them away.
[10:57] Assassin
    If we're lucky, they'll hit
    and ignite the spare gas tank.
[11:11] Assistant
    It exploded.
[11:13] Assassin
    Yes, just as planned.
[11:16] Assassin
    What's wrong?
[11:17] Assistant
    When I jumped from the car...
[11:19] Assassin
    Let me see that. I'll stop the bleeding.
[11:21] Assistant
    Sorry.
[11:26] Assassin
    I wasn't expecting to be found by a drone.
[11:29] Assassin
    Did the mafia make a mistake, or...

[11:43] Assistant
    The border guards have
    moved away from the area.
[11:46] Assassin
    Okay. We'll wait here until dawn.
[11:50] Assistant
    We're not going to flee while it's dark out?
[11:52] Assassin
    The relative temperature of the ground
[11:53] ---
    will make it easier for the drone's
    infrared camera to spot us.
[11:56] Assassin
    We'll move once the sun rises and the ground's
    temperature exceeds that of the human body.
[12:01] Assassin
    Rest until then.
[12:02] Assistant
    Yes, sir.
[12:09] Assistant
    Um...
[12:10] Assassin
    What is it?
[12:12] Assistant
    Why did you become an assassin?
[12:15] Assassin
    I was born into and raised
    by the organization.
[12:19] Assassin
    They've taught me assassination
    techniques since I was a child.
[12:23] Assassin
    I was raised only to assassinate.
[12:26] Assassin
    It's the only way I know how to live.
[12:29] Assassin
    I have no other choice.
[12:32] Assistant
    And you were satisfied with that?
[12:35] Assassin
    Satisfied?
[12:36] Assistant
    To live bound by the organization.
[12:41] Assassin
    Indeed, yes.
[12:43] ---
    As someone who spent his
    life in the organization,
[12:45] ---
    the organization was everything to me.
[12:47] Assassin
    I'm proud to have become the
    organization's greatest tool.
[12:51] Assassin
    I have no doubts.
[12:53] Assistant
    Don't you have any human emotions?
[12:57] Assassin
    Assassins don't need emotions.
[13:00] Assassin
    Emotions cloud your judgment.
[13:03] Assassin
    They only get in the way.
[13:05] Assassin
    But that all ends with this job.
[13:08] Assassin
    No human can overcome aging.
[13:11] Assistant
    You're retiring?
[13:13] Assassin
    Yeah. I'm retiring and starting a new
    job with the organization in Japan.
[13:18] Assistant
    A Japanese assassination organization?
    As in ninjas?
[13:22] Assassin
    It's an educational organization.
[13:24] Assassin
    I'll train new assassins there.
[13:27] Assassin
    This mission was also a practice
    run for training new assassins.
[13:31] Assassin
    I wouldn't have brought along
    a novice assistant otherwise.
[13:35] Assistant
    I'm not a novice!
[13:38] Assistant
    I've been trained by the organization!
[13:39] Assassin
    You might as well be a novice.
[13:41] Assistant
    I'm at the top of my class, you know!
[13:44] Assassin
    Then your classmates are trash.
[13:46] Assassin
    Even I was more useful back
    when I was still a virgin.
[13:49] Assistant
    How dare you? I'm doing my best to—
[13:57] Assassin
    What is this?
[13:59] Assassin
    I asked you a question. What is this?
[14:02] Assistant
    M-My gun.
[14:04] Assassin
    Why is it pointing at you?
[14:07] Assistant
    I don't know.
[14:09] Assassin
    Because you trust me.
[14:11] Assassin
    Why did you assume I wouldn't kill you?
[14:16] Assassin
    What if I planned to kill you once I was
    done so as not leave any evidence behind?
[14:21] Assassin
    Did that thought not occur to you?
[14:24] Assistant
    No.
[14:25] Assassin
    I lied about training new assassins.
[14:27] Assassin
    I intended to use you until I could
    escape, but you've become a burden.
[14:32] Assassin
    It's sooner than I'd planned,
    but I'm killing you now.
[14:37] Assassin
    What did they teach you
    to do in these situations?
[14:39] Assistant
    Huh?
[14:40] Assassin
    What were you taught?!
[14:42] Assistant
    Sidestep your attacker's weapon
    toward the hot side of the gun
[14:45] ---
    while twisting your body
    to face the cold side...
[14:47] Assassin
    Why aren't you doing that?
[14:49] Assistant
    Because I don't think it
    would work against you.
[14:52] Assassin
    Don't have so much faith in my abilities.
[14:54] Assassin
    This is why I called you a novice.
[14:56] Assistant
    But...
[14:57] Assassin
    If you're a professional,
    don't trust anyone about anything.
[15:01] Assassin
    Got it?
[15:06] Assassin
    Did you believe I'd kill you?
[15:08] Assassin
    I just got done telling
    you not to trust anyone.
[15:11] Assassin
    If you get that, then go to sleep.
[15:20] Assassin
    Go to sleep.
[15:21] Assistant
    I'll shoot you.
[15:22] Assassin
    Go to sleep.
[15:23] Assistant
    I'm going to shoot you.
[15:25] Assassin
    Go to sleep.
[15:26] Assistant
    You think I won't shoot you?
[15:28] Assassin
    Just go to sleep.
[15:29] Assistant
    You trust that I won't shoot you?
[15:32] Assistant
    I thought professionals didn't trust anyone.
[15:34] Assassin
    It's not that you won't shoot. You can't.
[15:37] Assassin
    You should've noticed from the gun's weight.
[15:41] Assistant
    When did you...
[15:43] Assassin
    You think I'd return a loaded gun
    to someone I threatened with it?
[15:47] Assassin
    You trust too much, novice.
[16:01] Assassin
    It's me.
[16:02] Command
    Congratulations. You seem to have
    completed your mission successfully.
[16:05] Assassin
    Thank you.
[16:07] Command
    Now you can happily retire.
    Thank you for your service until now.
[16:11] Assassin
    Actually, I have a new mission.
[16:15] Assassin
    I'll be training new assassins.
[16:17] Command
    That's right. I feel sorry for the students
    you'll be putting through the wringer.
[16:22] Command
    Everything you need is there.
[16:24] Command
    Act according to what you find there.
[16:27] Command
    Is your partner alive?
[16:29] Assassin
    Yes.
[16:30] Command
    Good. Bring her back, as well.
[16:33] Command
    I look forward to your safe return.
[16:35] Assassin
    Roger.
[16:38] Assassin
    It's a fake passport.
[16:40] Assassin
    You're now Mila Martinez, apparently.
[16:43] Assistant
    That's a common name.
[16:45] Assassin
    It's better to use an inconspicuous name.
[16:47] Assassin
    Looks like I'm Allen Smith now.
[16:50] Assassin
    Sounds like someone who'd
    shoot lame-ass movies.
[16:53] Assassin
    We have two plane tickets to Japan.
[16:56] Assassin
    Let's go meet some ninjas.
[17:13] Assassin
    Now there's nothing left for
    me to do until we arrive.
[17:17] Assassin
    It's all over now.
[17:18] Assassin
    Both this mission and my life as an assassin.
[17:28] Announcer
    Breaking news: communication
    with AMA Flight 125 was cut off
[17:30] ---
    with the final message that
    the plane had been hijacked.
[17:34] Assassin
    Hijacked?
[17:35] Announcer
    Once again, communication with
    AMA Flight 125 was cut off
[17:35] Ca
    Everyone, please remain calm, stay in
    your seats, and fasten your seat belts.
[17:37] Assistant
    What happened?
[17:38] ---
    with the final message that
    the plane had been hijacked.
[17:38] Assassin
    The story broke too quickly.
[17:39] Assassin
    It's what I'd expect from the
    organization. They're well-prepared.
[17:42] Assistant
    What do you mean?
[17:44] Assassin
    The hijacking is a lie.
    They're capable of that.
[17:47] Announcer
    We've received additional information.
[17:49] Announcer
    The terrorists who hijacked
    AMA Flight 125 have announced
[17:52] ---
    their intention to crash the
    plane into key facilities.
[17:56] Assassin
    I understand why they'd dispose of a tool
    they're finished with to keep him quiet,
[18:01] ---
    but why do all this just to kill one man?
[18:05] Assistant
    You mean...
[18:07] Assassin
    The organization intends to assassinate me.
[18:10] Assassin
    And you're their tool for doing that.
[18:13] Assistant
    No...
[18:17] Assassin
    They burdened me with her so I'd focus
    on fleeing and board this plane.
[18:25] Assassin
    They tipped off the border guard so the
    drone would show up in order to corner me.
[18:30] Ca
    Sir, you can't go in there—
[18:39] Assassin
    An antipersonnel mine behind
    the flight instrument panel.
[18:42] Assassin
    So this is why they wanted
    me to get on this plane.
[18:45] Assassin
    Is the flight control stick working?
[18:53] Assassin
    I've ended plenty of lives up until now.
[18:56] Assassin
    I knew my turn would come eventually,
[19:00] Assassin
    but I wasn't expecting
    such a magnificent coffin.
[19:09] Assassin
    They got me.
[19:32] Assassin
    Why? I trusted the organization
    and followed their orders.
[19:39] Assassin
    I was so loyal to them, I would've
    died if they'd ordered me to.
[19:45] Assassin
    I was betrayed. Why?
[19:49] Assassin
    Why? Why?
[19:53] Assassin
    I am frustrated.
[19:55] ---
    I feel frustrated.
[19:57] Assassin
    The emotions I suppressed are returning.
[20:05] Assassin
    Yes...
[20:08] Assassin
    I feel frustrated.
[20:21] Assassin
    Where am I?
[20:23] Assassin
    Is this a dream?
[20:26] Goddess
    No, not a dream.
[20:28] Goddess
    Despite being the world's finest assassin,
[20:32] ---
    you stupidly allowed yourself
    to be assassinated.
[20:37] Assassin
    Would you mind explaining all this?
[20:40] Goddess
    I summoned your soul here after your death.
[20:43] Goddess
    By the way, I am the Goddess. Ahem.
[20:46] Assassin
    Could you tell me why you brought me here?
[20:50] Goddess
    You have options.
[20:52] Goddess
    Option one: have your soul wiped clean
    and be reborn as a stranger. Waah!
[20:59] Goddess
    Your memories would vanish,
    and you'd become a different person.
[21:02] Assassin
    In other words, the person
    I am now would die.
[21:05] Goddess
    Well, you're already dead.
[21:07] Goddess
    Your other option is to accept my request
    and be reborn in another world.
[21:12] Goddess
    In exchange, you'd keep
    your current memories.
[21:15] Goddess
    You'd retain your knowledge and
    experience, and enjoy a new life.
[21:21] Assassin
    In some ways, that'd be synonymous
    with continuing my current life.
[21:25] Goddess
    An appealing offer, don't you think?
[21:29] Assassin
    And what's your request?
    Who do you want me to kill?
[21:34] Goddess
    Oh? How did you know?
[21:37] Assassin
    If you chose me,
    it's the only conceivable request.
[21:41] Goddess
    I'm glad you're so quick on the uptake.
[21:44] Goddess
    I knew I chose the right soul.
[21:47] Goddess
    You're the world's finest assassin.
[21:51] Goddess
    You will be reborn in a fantasy
    world of swords and sorcery.
[21:56] Assassin
    A world of swords and sorcery?
[21:58] Goddess
    Yes. I'd like you to kill the Hero there.
