[01:36] Lupin
    Hey, Blue Hair. Let's call a truce.
[01:40] Lupin
    We should deal with that pompous
    insurance guy first.
[01:43] Tsugaru
    Great idea. Do you have a plan?
[01:47] Lupin
    You get to play the decoy.
[01:49] Lupin
    I'll set up an ambush on the second floor.
[01:54] Reynold
    The precious diamond is drenched in saliva.
[01:57] Reynold
    I must disinfect it.
[01:58] Tsugaru
    Yeah, no one said you're
    taking that just yet...
[02:02] Tsugaru
    So why does your advisory security
    department hate monsters so much?
[02:09] Reynold
    There are those like Fatima who
    do this out of a sense of justice,
[02:12] Reynold
    but it's not like we actually
    enjoy dealing with you lot.
[02:15] Tsugaru
    It sure seems like you do to me!
[02:18] Reynold
    I'd never touch any of you if I could help it.
[02:21] Tsugaru
    Oh, I knew someone like you.
[02:24] Tsugaru
    A real neat freak type. Total penny-pincher.
[02:27] Tsugaru
    Every time they went out,
    they'd stare at the ground,
[02:30] Tsugaru
    and go on about bugs, garbage, and filth.
[02:34] Tsugaru
    They just wouldn't shut up.
    I didn't know what to do with them.
[02:39] Tsugaru
    Until one day, that person...
[02:46] Tsugaru
    got shat on by a bird.
[02:50] Lupin
    Did that do it?
[02:51] Tsugaru
    Not sure what people would think
    about Lupin committing murder.
[02:55] Lupin
    Don't you worry. That won't
    be enough to kill him.
[03:09] Fatima
    I know he's here.
[03:11] Fatima
    Why can't I hear where he is?
[03:16] Fatima
    Why?
[03:18] Phantom
    Because I'm the Phantom of the Opera.
[03:21] Phantom
    Ever since I was sixteen,
[03:23] Phantom
    I lived at the Opera House.
[03:26] Phantom
    I built a secret home by the underground lake
    twenty-three floors below the surface.
[03:30] Phantom
    I learned about vocalization and acoustics.
[03:34] Phantom
    It's impossible to defeat
    me in the realm of sound.
[03:52] Carmilla
    That's really not going to help you in here.
[04:07] Carmilla
    My, how ill-mannered you are.
[04:10] Shizuku
    I see no reason to mind my
    manners with an enemy.
[04:17] Shizuku
    Tachikage.
[04:27] Shizuku
    Matsushima.
[04:37] Carmilla
    Are those pure silver bullets?
[04:39] Shizuku
    This is over.
[04:41] Carmilla
    Actually, your punishment
    is just about to begin.
[04:49] Shizuku
    What did you...
[04:50] Carmilla
    What did I do? Actually, it was you.
[04:55] Carmilla
    Your hand decided to kiss my lips, remember?
[05:01] Carmilla
    I have a unique venom.
[05:04] Carmilla
    If you touch it,
[05:05] Carmilla
    the venom makes you feel numb
    and hot as you fall under my spell.
[05:09] Carmilla
    I love blood from girls like you.
[05:13] Carmilla
    But I just had dinner a moment ago...
    I'll just have to make you my dessert.
[05:22] Watson
    Holmes!
[05:26] Aleister
    Well, that's no good.
[05:28] Aleister
    There's nothing magical about
     killing someone with a gun.
[05:45] Holmes
    Watson, do you have any more spare bullets?
[05:48] Watson
    I'm completely out, too. Do you have a plan?
[05:54] Holmes
    I'll use baritsu.
[05:58] Aya
    Let's have a little chat, Mister Goatee.
[06:01] Aleister
    You caught my eye as well.
[06:04] Aya
    Why do you lot want the Penultimate Night?
[06:07] Aleister
    They say it's the key to finding werewolves.
[06:10] Aya
    Finding werewolves? For what purpose?
[06:13] Aleister
    Our organization is still expanding, you see.
[06:16] Aleister
    We're looking for more recruits.
[06:22] Aleister
    More importantly...
[06:24] Aleister
    Why is the rest of you
    below the neck missing?
[06:27] Aya
    It was stolen recently, you see.
     I'm looking for it now.
[06:30] Aleister
    Oh! Actually, we might have it...
[06:34] Aya
    What?
[06:45] Holmes
    All magic requires something in exchange.
[06:48] Holmes
    That's elementary, my dear Aleister.
[06:51] Holmes
    Of course, you have the antidote.
[06:58] Holmes
    But...
[07:04] Watson
    What just happened?
[07:13] Holmes
    It's been a while, Professor Moriarty.
[07:16] Professor
    I haven't seen you since
    Reichenbach Falls, Holmes.
[07:30] Lupin
    Erik!
[07:31] Lupin
    What the hell are you doing here?
[07:33] Phantom
    I could ask you the same question.
[07:43] Reynold
    Fatima, how could you let a
    mere phantom get your arm?
[07:46] Fatima
    I-I'm terribly sorry!
    Are you all right, Reynold?
[07:51] Fatima
    Your head seems to be split open.
[07:53] Reynold
    I'm perfectly fine!
[07:54] Reynold
    Let's take care of the trash
    and retrieve the diamond.
[07:56] Fatima
    The diamond?
[07:59] Tsugaru
    Well, this has turned into an even bigger mess.
[08:21] Jack
    Found it.
[08:25] Reynold
    Fatima!
[08:26] Fatima
    Right!
[08:39] Reynold
    Fa—
[08:41] Tsugaru
    Well, now...
[08:43] Lupin
    We're going to leave now.
[08:45] Phantom
    But the diamond...
[08:46] Lupin
    There's no way we're going to
    get it back from that monster.
[08:49] Lupin
    Let's go!
[08:50] Holmes
    I didn't think you were still alive.
[08:53] Professor
    I'm personally surprised that the
    young lady there is still alive...
[08:57] Professor
    even if she is an immortal monster.
[09:00] Aya
    To think I'd run into the person I was
    looking for in a place like this...
[09:04] Holmes
    Do you have history with this man, as well?
[09:06] Aya
    He happened to run off with
     my body about a year ago.
[09:10] Aya
    I just now found out that
    his name was Moriarty...
[09:14] Aya
    But it all makes sense now...
[09:15] Aya
    Including that initial belonging
    to a man, presumed dead,
[09:18] Aya
    who headed up a now-extinct
    criminal organization.
[09:21] Professor
    I see. You investigated me using my cane.
[09:25] Professor
    But you have no means of moving on your own.
[09:28] Aya
    Unfortunately for you, I have—
[09:29] Professor
    Two assistants.
[09:31] Professor
    Judging from the state of that birdcage,
[09:33] Professor
    the one who carries you is rather careless,
[09:36] Professor
    and the other is meticulous.
[09:38] Professor
    One of your surviving attendants, perhaps.
[09:40] Professor
    The one who carries you must be
    a rather talented hired man.
[09:44] Aya
    Where is my body right now?
[09:47] Professor
    Within my possession.
[09:49] Professor
    But I'm afraid I can't return it.
    It's a very important sample, you see.
[09:53] Watson
    So you're the leader of the organization
    Aleister was talking about.
[09:57] Watson
    Why have you come back after eight years?
[10:00] Holmes
    Are you trying to rebuild
    your criminal organization?
[10:02] Holmes
    This time by collecting monsters?
[10:04] Professor
    I figured out how to improve it.
[10:09] Professor
    I casually took on an apprentice,
     but he gave me inspiration.
[10:14] Aya
    An apprentice?
[10:15] Professor
    A young British man with curly flaxen hair.
[10:19] Professor
    He said that he wanted a strong body
[10:21] Professor
    and wanted his body to be
    combined with a monster's.
[10:24] Professor
    He also asked how one conducts
    a transplant surgery.
[10:28] Professor
    A human artificially bestowed
     with the powers of a monster...
[10:32] Professor
    If it could be done, their usefulness
     would know no bounds.
[10:37] Professor
    So, I agreed.
[10:39] Holmes
    And who is this young man?
[10:42] Professor
    I'm sure you've all heard of him.
[10:45] Professor
    He's the man who pulled off the perfect
    crime in Whitechapel eleven years ago.
[10:52] Watson
    You don't mean...
[10:54] Holmes
    Jack the Ripper.
[11:02] Tsugaru
    Gorgeous gem, isn't it?
    They say it's artificial, though.
[11:07] Jack
    It's beautiful because it's artificial.
[11:09] Tsugaru
    I'm the fearsome Oni Slayer.
    The name's Tsugaru Shinuchi.
[11:15] Tsugaru
    And you are?
[11:16] Jack
    My current comrades call me Jack.
[11:20] Tsugaru
    I do hope you'll take it easy on me!
[11:34] Tsugaru
    Oh?
[11:35] Jack
    That was close.
[11:37] Jack
    Did you use her heart?
[11:40] Tsugaru
    Well, it happened to be handy, so...
[11:44] Jack
    You've got an interesting mind.
[11:52] Jack
    Have I met you before?
[11:54] Tsugaru
    I can't say. I'm quite the dunce,
     so I might have forgotten.
[12:01] Professor
    We had our eyes on two monsters:
    the oni and the Immortal.
[12:06] Professor
    They're both from Japan.
[12:08] Professor
    Giving a human the powers of
    both the oni and the Immortal...
[12:12] Professor
    It would create a being that possessed brains,
[12:14] Professor
    brawn, and regenerative abilities all in one.
[12:18] Professor
    Jack and I headed to Japan.
[12:21] Professor
    The oni were about to go extinct,
    but I was able to acquire a few of them.
[12:26] Professor
    I gathered a group of youths—only those
     possessed of great physical fortitude—
[12:31] Professor
    transplanted the oni cells I had extracted
    into them, and observed their progress.
[12:36] Aya
    I highly doubt the youths
    you found were volunteers.
[12:41] Professor
    I'll admit that most of my observations
    were made through iron bars.
[12:46] Professor
    The changes were immediate.
[12:49] Professor
    Immediately, markings appeared on
    the skin along their arteries,
[12:53] Professor
    the same color as the oni they'd
    received their transplant from.
[12:55] Reynold
    Their hair and eye colors also changed,
[12:58] Professor
    and their physical abilities skyrocketed.
[13:01] Professor
    But within a month,
    half of them had gone mad.
[13:05] Professor
    They just had too much oni in them.
[13:09] Professor
    I infused Jack with just the right amount.
[13:15] Holmes
    How could you conduct such
    an appalling experiment?
[13:18] Professor
    And then, my oni hybrid was complete.
[13:21] Professor
    Next, I needed to acquire Japan's one and
    only Immortal, even rarer than the oni.
[13:26] Professor
    As for how that turned out...
[13:29] Professor
    Well, I'm sure you're already aware.
[13:32] Aya
    Yes, painfully so.
[13:35] Aya
    So you used my body for
    these surgeries as well.
[13:38] Professor
    The composition of the Immortal's body
[13:40] Professor
    was fundamentally different
    from other creatures.
[13:43] Professor
    Just like the oni hybrid, her body
    seemed to be artificially created.
[13:49] Holmes
    Aya Rindo, did someone do
    something to you, as well?
[13:52] Aya
    Yes, well... About 950 years ago.
[13:55] Watson
    But who?
[13:57] Aya
    A freak. An absolute freak.
[14:00] Professor
    My hat is off to that person.
[14:03] Professor
    I was very eager to find out how your
    body worked, but I could not understand it.
[14:09] Professor
    Still, the Immortal's cells provided
    Jack's body with powerful immunity.
[14:16] Professor
    The unstable oni cells also
    settled perfectly after that.
[14:21] Professor
    Which meant...
[14:22] Holmes
    You could add other monsters into the mix.
[14:25] Professor
    In order to make Jack even more powerful,
[14:27] Professor
    I hunted down a vampire named Ezzelin von
    Klatka and mixed in his cells, as well.
[14:33] Professor
    The results were magnificent!
[14:35] Professor
    His senses and regenerative
    abilities became more powerful,
[14:38] Professor
    with no accompanying vulnerabilities
    to silver, holy water, or sunlight.
[14:43] Aya
    Well, now I know why you're
    after the Penultimate Night.
[14:48] Aya
    You've gotten a vampire, so a werewolf is next.
[14:51] Professor
    We're trailblazers, creating the
    world's first chimera.
[14:56] Watson
    So you now have a human in your organization
[14:58] Watson
    with the immunity of the Immortal,
    the physical strength of an oni,
[15:02] Watson
    and the regenerative abilities of a vampire—
    a nigh-invincible monster!
[15:07] Professor
    Well done, Holmes's assistant.
    A very precise summary.
[15:22] Jack
    Your body's very tough.
[15:24] Jack
    I can't cut through to the bone!
[15:25] Tsugaru
    Flattery will get you bloodier.
[15:28] Jack
    Well, I do love the sight of blood!
[15:30] Tsugaru
    Then we're going to get along great!
[15:35] Tsugaru
    Got you!
[15:46] Jack
    My wounds aren't healing.
[15:48] Jack
    You really are an oni hybrid, aren't you?
[15:52] Tsugaru
    Takes one to know one, I guess.
[15:54] Jack
    That's strange. We confirmed that all
    the other test subjects were dead.
[16:00] Jack
    No, wait...
[16:02] Jack
    There was one test subject
    who escaped after surgery.
[16:07] Jack
    So you're Number 9.
[16:09] Jack
    Your hair's blue now, so I didn't recognize you.
[16:12] Tsugaru
    Ah... You're the assistant
    who was with the geezer.
[16:17] Tsugaru
    Your hair's red now, so I didn't recognize you.
[16:20] Jack
    I'm shocked.
[16:21] Jack
    I thought you'd die right away
    from having too much oni in you.
[16:25] Jack
    What are you doing in London?
[16:27] Tsugaru
    We've been chasing you lot.
[16:30] Jack
    Chasing us?
[16:32] Jack
    For what?
[16:35] Jack
    Revenge? A cure?
[16:42] Tsugaru
    To perform, actually.
[16:44] Tsugaru
    We're taking our freakshow overseas!
[16:49] Jack
    What a frivolous mind.
[16:52] Jack
    It seems I was wrong.
    Your mind is of no use to me.
[16:57] Jack
    There's no point in lingering here.
[17:00] Tsugaru
    You're not going to finish me off?
[17:04] Jack
    You're not even worth that much.
[17:08] Jack
    I've got a mountain of things to do.
[17:16] Tsugaru
    Ow...
[17:32] Carmilla
    Naughty girl.
[17:51] Carmilla
    You little wench!
[17:53] Carmilla
    I was trying to be gentle and
     that still wasn't enough?!
[17:56] Shizuku
    You were terrible.
[17:58] Shizuku
    I don't know how many
    centuries you've been alive,
[18:02] Shizuku
    but I'm used to someone who's far
    more experienced than you.
[18:08] Carmilla
    You really think you can win with that thing?
[18:11] Shizuku
    Without a doubt.
[18:13] Carmilla
    Then, this time...
[18:15] Carmilla
    I'll have to be a little rougher!
[18:21] Carmilla
    Oh, damn it all!
[18:26] Professor
    It appears as though Jack
    has obtained the diamond.
[18:30] Professor
    We're done here, so we'll
    be taking our leave.
[18:36] Professor
    Victor, Aleister, let us go.
[18:39] Victor
    Yes.
[18:39] Aleister
    Sure.
[18:41] Holmes
    If you're going to rebuild your organization,
[18:44] Holmes
    we'll just tear it down again!
[18:47] Professor
    Ah, I forgot to tell you
    our organization's name.
[18:52] Professor
    We are the Banquet. We look
    forward to seeing you again.
[18:59] Tsugaru
    I'm glad that you and Mister Holmes
     seem to be all right, Master.
[19:03] Watson
    You're an absolute mess. We need
    to stop the bleeding immediately.
[19:06] Tsugaru
    Where's Shizuku?
[19:07] Shizuku
    I'm right here.
[19:10] Shizuku
    Lady Aya... I've returned.
[19:13] Aya
    Welcome back, Shizuku.
[19:16] Aya
    Are you all right?
[19:17] Shizuku
    I'm fwine...
[19:22] Aya
    An aphrodisiac venom...
[19:23] Aya
    Considering how much it's affected you,
     it must've been quite powerful.
[19:29] Fogg
    Are you the only survivors?
[19:32] Fogg
    I heard that Reynold was
    also gravely injured.
[19:36] Lestrade
    I received reports that Lupin and the
    Phantom couldn't be found on the premises.
[19:40] Lestrade
    Where could they have gone?
[19:43] Holmes
    The waterway.
[19:45] Holmes
    That route opened up once the
    water level went down in the moat.
[19:52] Holmes
    By flooding the basement
    with the moat's water,
[19:55] Holmes
    Lupin also managed to
    secure an escape route.
[19:58] Watson
    Unbelievable.
[20:01] Holmes
    Lupin is a true phantom thief.
[20:05] Lestrade
    There's actually one more unfortunate
    thing I have to report...
[20:09] Lestrade
    The safe that should've been
    in the sunroom is missing.
[20:12] Aya
    Geh! I forgot to retrieve it.
[20:15] Aya
    Did Lupin take that, too?
[20:18] Holmes
    Looks like we've been utterly defeated.
[20:20] Tsugaru
    May I have your attention, please?
[20:24] Tsugaru
    Now, behold!
[20:27] Carmilla
    Damn that little wench!
[20:29] Carmilla
    The next time I see her...
[20:31] Professor
    For now, let us toast.
[20:33] Professor
    We have won the battle for the diamond.
[20:37] Professor
    Jack. Well done, my boy.
[20:42] Professor
    Now, show us the Penultimate Night.
[21:11] Aya
    What am I going to do with you?
[21:14] Tsugaru
    I was a pretty rotten kid. I just
    couldn't keep my hands to myself.
[21:18] Tsugaru
    Here you go, Mister Fogg.
    You can have this back.
[21:21] Fogg
    Ah, thank you.
[21:23] Fogg
    But how could such a small
    gem cause so much chaos?
[21:28] Holmes
    We might find the answer...
[21:30] Holmes
    If we crack the code.
[21:33] Passepartout
    You mean the poem that's engraved inside?
[21:36] Aya
    "The dawn is red as blood.
    The sunset is purple as a corpse.
[21:41] Aya
    Do not gaze upon my hideous self
    as the moon shines down on me,
[21:45] Aya
    for there is a wolf inside of me."
[21:49] Aya
    I've already cracked that code.
[21:53] Aya
    Mister Holmes, please hold the
    Penultimate Night up to that arc lamp.
[22:01] Aya
    That diamond also contains europium.
[22:04] Aya
    That element glows red when
    hit with ultraviolet rays.
[22:14] Aya
    Fangzähnewald.
[22:17] Watson
    The Forest of Fangs.
[22:19] Watson
    So that's where the werewolves are.
[22:21] Tsugaru
    The red-haired fellow was
    doing the same thing.
[22:25] Tsugaru
    They're going to be a pain in the rear.
[22:27] Tsugaru
    That whole lot's nothing but monsters.
[22:29] Aya
    Well, you're the renowned
    Oni Slayer, are you not?
[22:32] Aya
    Seems like they'd be right up your alley.
[22:34] Tsugaru
    Welp, you've got me there.
