SIGN    The Trigger of Memories
[01:57] Narrator
    The news of the devastation of Whitechurch
[02:00] Narrator
    shook the citizens as much as the previous war.
[02:04] Narrator
    But, two weeks later,
[02:07] Narrator
    another major incident occurred
    that would shake them to the core.
[02:11] Cain
    There was a time when our nation of Patria
[02:13] Cain
    fought divided between
    the North and the South.
[02:16] Cain
    But what came of that?
[02:19] Cain
    Absolutely nothing! Not one thing changed!
[02:22] Cain
    Even now, the filthy rich and the
    incompetent nobles of the North,
[02:26] Cain
    as well as both governments, which are
    now nothing more than puppets...
[02:30] Cain
    These old rulers are suffocating
    this country and making us suffer!
[02:36] Cain
    My fellow citizens,
    who wish for true equality...
[02:38] Cain
    Now is the time to rise up!
[02:41] Cain
    Overcome the border between North and South,
[02:43] Cain
    and create a new world together!
[02:47] Cain
    Along with us Incarnates!
[02:50] Cain
    In this moment, I declare
    the birth of New Patria!
[02:57] Narrator
    Together with the soldiers and nobles who
    were unsatisfied with the war's ending,
[03:02] Narrator
    as well as some of the citizens,
[03:04] Narrator
    Cain Madhouse and the Incarnates established
[03:08] Narrator
    their independence from
    their motherland of Patria.
[03:13] Narrator
    They built their base in the west,
    which had lagged behind in development,
[03:16] Narrator
    and began to grow as one city after
    another decided to align with them.
[03:21] Narrator
    Meanwhile, the government of
    the Northern Union of Patria,
[03:25] Narrator
    where the scars from the
    previous war had yet to heal,
[03:30] Narrator
    decided to prepare their
    defenses for the upcoming war.
[03:34] Narrator
    The government was fearful that
    the Incarnates who remained
[03:38] Narrator
    in the North would soon join the rebel
    forces and, after a conference,
[03:43] Narrator
    they decided to annihilate any
    Incarnates remaining in the land.
[03:49] Narrator
    Silently, but surely,
[03:53] Narrator
    the giant footsteps of war
    were drawing nearer...
[04:03] Guy
    It's so cold...
[04:21] Lady
    Sch... Schaal!
[04:24] Schaal
    It's been six months. How have you been?
[04:27] Lady
    Huh? Er, uh, um...
[04:31] Lady
    I'm happy to... see you again...
[04:40] Schaal
    I never thought I'd be able
    to come back here again.
[04:47] Schaal
    Back then, the bullet that
    should've gone through me
[04:50] Schaal
    was stopped by the dress I was wearing.
[04:53] Schaal
    Apparently the dress was made with special
    cloth woven from an Incarnate's thread.
[04:58] Schaal
    I still have no idea why they
    had me wear such a dress.
[05:04] Schaal
    I survived, but what awaited me
    was an interrogation by the military.
[05:09] Schaal
    The military had stripped Hank of his rank
    after what he did at Whitechurch,
[05:14] Schaal
    and they were searching for him.
[05:16] Schaal
    However...
[05:23] Schaal
    I'm home...
[05:25] Schaal
    Father.
[05:27] Schaal
    I guess this place never changes.
[05:30] Schaal
    It feels as though I only
    left this town yesterday.
[05:38] Schaal
    I met some of the people
     you fought alongside.
[05:43] Schaal
    I saw the burden you had
    to bear with my own eyes.
[05:48] Schaal
    I originally left this town to get revenge,
[05:52] Schaal
    but the more I find out,
[05:55] Schaal
    the less I know what to believe.
[05:58] Schaal
    I'm not exactly sure...
[06:03] Schaal
    what I want to do with him.
[06:06] Schaal
    Father... please...
[06:19] Liza
    Schaal? Schaal, it's you!
[06:22] Schaal
    Liza?
[06:24] Liza
    What in the world are you doing here?
[06:26] Schaal
    I was born in this town.
    What brings you here, Liza?
[06:30] Liza
    I'm working with this squad right now.
[06:32] Liza
    The reason we came here is...
[06:34] Guy
    An Incarnate?
[06:36] Claude
    Yes. There's someone who ran
    into one in these mountains.
[06:40] Claude
    We're about to go into the mountains
    and eliminate the Incarnate.
[06:43] Guy
    I-I beg of you...
[06:46] Guy
    Please, get rid of it!
[06:49] Schaal
    E-Excuse me...
[06:52] Schaal
    Would you allow me to go with you?
[06:56] Liza
    Schaal!
[06:57] Guy
    Schaal...
[06:58] Claude
    You're...
[06:59] Claude
    Nancy Schaal Bancroft.
[07:02] Claude
    I read your file. You were
    traveling with Hank Henriette.
[07:07] Liza
    She's from this town.
[07:09] Liza
    I asked her to guide us, since she's
    knowledgeable about the area.
[07:13] Liza
    Plus, she won't freak out
    if she sees an Incarnate.
[07:17] Liza
    Who could ask for a better guide?
[07:19] Guy
    I see.
[07:20] Guy
    It's true that it'll be easier to find our target
[07:23] Guy
    if we're with someone who knows the area.
[07:28] Claude
    All right. Very well.
[07:48] Claude
    Have some. It'll warm you up.
[07:51] Schaal
    Th-Thank you.
[08:00] Claude
    I'm very sorry we let such
    a thing happen to you.
[08:03] Claude
    Even though we were there at Whitechurch,
    there were many casualties.
[08:08] Claude
    I'm glad you survived that hellish scene.
[08:12] Schaal
    Wait, did you come here to tell me that?
[08:18] Liza
    Jeez, you're too serious for your own good.
[08:22] Liza
    I can't control my urge
    to tease little boys like you.
[08:26] Liza
    It's just too irresistible.
[08:31] Liza
    Take that... and that, and that.
[08:33] Claude
    Second Lieute—
[08:35] Liza
    My, aren't you bold?!
[08:36] Liza
    Did you want to have a different
    kind of tussle with me out here?
[08:42] Liza
    I won't lose to a little boy like you!
[08:46] Claude
    Second Lieutenant Liza Renecastle...
    I'm your commander!
[08:49] Claude
    Stop this at once!
[08:51] Liza
    Oh, I know, Major Claude.
[08:54] Schaal
    Huh? Major?
[08:57] Liza
    He's young, but he shot right up the ranks.
[08:59] Liza
    Although he's also a bit special...
[09:02] Liza
    considering he's the son of
    this country's president.
[09:05] Schaal
    Huh?
[09:06] Claude
    I know the rank I've been
    given is well above my means.
[09:10] Claude
    But since I've been given this mission,
     I intend to complete it, no matter the cost.
[09:16] Claude
    As the leader of Coup de Grâce,
    I will eliminate every last Incarnate!
[09:21] Claude
    They should not exist in this
    country... no, this world!
[09:26] Claude
    For any reason!
[09:34] Liza
    What's that?
[09:35] Claude
    It's coming from over there!
[09:56] Claude
    An Incarnate!
[09:57] Claude
    Hey!
[09:59] Schaal
    Why... What are you doing here...
[10:04] Schaal
    Father?!
[10:12] Schaal
    Father...
[10:16] Claude
    What the...
[10:17] Liza
    Its flesh is rotting...
[10:22] Schaal
    Father...
[10:29] Claude
    Look out!
[10:34] Schaal
    No...
[10:39] Guy
    Fire!
[10:54] Claude
    Halt!
[10:56] Claude
    There's no need to pursue it.
[10:58] Claude
    We won't be able to finish it
    with our current firepower.
[11:01] Schaal
    Father... Why?
[11:08] Liza
    The Incarnate that attacked us is Nidhogg.
[11:12] Liza
    His name when he was in the army
    was John William Bancroft.
[11:16] Claude
    Bancroft?
[11:18] Liza
    Yes. That's her father.
[11:22] Claude
    I see.
[11:23] Liza
    According to our records,
[11:25] Liza
    Nidhogg was shot and killed by Hank,
    and its corpse was buried by the military.
[11:29] Guy
    So an Incarnate that was supposed
    to be dead rose from its grave?
[11:34] Claude
    There are some Incarnates with an
    incredible amount of life force.
[11:38] Claude
    Somehow, its corpse must have been
    revitalized and started moving again.
[11:44] Claude
    It's completely lost its humanity.
[11:47] Claude
    We need to eliminate it at once
    before there are any casualties.
[11:53] Claude
    Once preparations are complete,
[11:55] Claude
    we will carry out our mission to
     eliminate the Incarnate, Nidhogg!
[12:00] Guy
    Hurry!
[12:05] Guy
    Put some of the bombs over there, too!
[12:18] Liza
    What kind of father was he?
[12:22] Schaal
    He was a very calm, gentle man.
[12:26] Schaal
    He rarely ever got mad.
[12:28] Schaal
    He was always kind and looked after
    me and the children at the orphanage.
[12:33] Schaal
    He was the last person you could picture
    fighting, let alone becoming a soldier.
[12:39] Schaal
    And yet...
[12:41] (Flashback) Will
    I have the power to help end this war
[12:44] (Flashback) Will
    and make sure that you and the other
    kids can live happily in the future.
[12:48] (Flashback) Will
    This is my time to pull the trigger.
[12:52] Schaal
    And then he left for the
    battlefield... for our sakes.
[12:57] Schaal
    Then, when he came home...
[13:07] Schaal
    He may have looked different,
    but he was still my father.
[13:11] Liza
    Schaal...
[13:14] Liza
    You should head back to town.
    It's best you stay away from here.
[13:18] Liza
    Why?
[13:20] Schaal
    I must face anything, however difficult,
    without running away.
[13:23] Schaal
    I know that's what my father would do.
[13:26] Schaal
    So... I don't want to run away, either.
[13:31] Liza
    I see.
[13:33] Liza
    In that case, hang on to this.
[13:40] Schaal
    These are...
[13:41] Liza
    Yes, they're Godkiller bullets.
[13:44] Liza
    We don't know what might happen,
    so I'll give those to you, just in case.
[14:08] Guy
    It's coming!
[14:10] Schaal
    Father...
[14:11] Claude
    Commence attack!
[14:39] Guy
    Fall back!
[15:15] Guy
    It can't be...
[15:22] Liza
    That direction is...
[15:24] Schaal
    Father, no!
[15:25] Schaal
    Our town is over there!
[15:27] Claude
    Second Lieutenant! Head back to the town!
[15:29] Claude
    Evacuate the people there!
[15:31] Claude
    We'll slow it down!
[15:33] Liza
    Got it!
[15:43] Claude
    Fall back, Gerald.
[15:45] Claude
    I'll take care of it!
[16:19] Schaal
    Everyone, please run!
[16:21] Guy
    Don't you know what time it is?
[16:23] Guy
    Who is that?
[16:24] ---
    It's Schaal...
[16:25] Guy
    What's going on?
[16:26] Schaal
    Please, hurry!
[16:28] Liza
    Everyone, you need to evacuate at once!
[16:30] Liza
    Hurry!
[16:31] Guy
    Give us a break already.
[16:33] Guy
    Schaal, did you bring us trouble ag—
[16:36] Guy
    What's that?
[16:42] Guy
    Will!
[16:43] Guy
    N-No way!
[16:44] Guy
    I thought he died!
[16:48] Liza
    What are you doing?! Hurry up and run!
[16:50] Guy
    Please, don't...
[16:54] Guy
    Get out of here, you monster!
[17:00] (Flashback) Will
    This is my time to pull the trigger.
[17:05] Guy
    What are you doing?! Run!
[17:06] Liza
    Hurry!
[17:07] Liza
    Wait, Schaal!
[17:15] Claude
    What is she doing? Does she want to die?!
[17:21] Schaal
    On that day, my father
    left for the battlefield
[17:24] Schaal
    to protect me, the orphans,
    and everyone in this town.
[17:31] Schaal
    Now, he has lost his soul and is trying
    to harm those who are precious to him.
[17:37] (Flashback) Hank
    Before they become Beasts...
[17:38] (Flashback) Hank
    I must slay them while they're still human.
[17:40] (Flashback) Hank
    That's my final duty as the
    Incarnate squad captain.
[17:45] Schaal
    Right...
[17:47] Schaal
    That's why Hank is doing this.
[17:51] Schaal
    In order to protect their wishes from when
[17:56] Schaal
    they were still human.
[18:01] (Flashback) Will
    Don't worry. You're a strong girl.
[18:04] (Flashback) Will
    When the time comes for you to pull the
    trigger, I know you'll be able to do it.
[18:08] Schaal
    Father!
[18:26] Schaal
    Please stop.
[18:31] Schaal
    Please stop...
[18:34] Schaal
    Please stop!
[18:37] Liza
    Schaal...
[18:41] Schaal
    Please stop...
[18:46] Schaal
    I'm begging you, please stop!
[19:29] Schaal
    Father...
[20:15] Schaal
    Liza...
[20:16] Liza
    You're so reckless, you know that?
[20:18] Schaal
    I'm sorry.
[20:20] Schaal
    I just didn't know this whole time...
[20:24] Schaal
    How my father felt in his last moments
    on the day he was shot by Hank.
[20:30] Schaal
    But now, I understand.
[20:34] Schaal
    Back then, I'm sure my father...
[20:40] Schaal
    I was finally able to say goodbye to my father.
[20:46] Liza
    Schaal...
[20:50] Schaal
    Huh? Huh?!
[20:52] Liza
    Hush, now.
[20:58] Schaal
    But...
[21:00] Schaal
    Still, I can't help but wonder
[21:02] Schaal
    if there really is no other way...
[21:05] Schaal
    If their only salvation is
    their burial, then Hank...
[21:15] Schaal
    Liza, I have a request.
[22:52] Guy
    Are you serious?
[22:53] Liza
    Yes. I want us to bring her along.
[22:56] Schaal
    I want to see Hank.
[22:58] Schaal
    I have something I need to say to him!
[23:01] Guy
    Second Lieutenant, you know
    how grave our mission is.
[23:06] Guy
    We're grateful for her help,
    but we can't ask for—
[23:10] Claude
    We don't know the current
    whereabouts of Hank Henriette,
[23:13] Claude
    but if you come with us, we're bound
    to run into him sooner or later.
[23:19] Claude
    I will allow you to accompany us.
[23:23] Schaal
    Yes, sir!
[23:25] Trice
    Everyone calls me Trice.
[23:26] Schaal
    A singer?!
[23:27] Liza
    She seems like a girl
    you'd find in any town.
[23:31] Miri
    When are they coming?
[23:33] Trice
    You're not going to listen
    to my song either, are you?
[23:35] Schaal
    Please let me hear your song.
