***SIGN*** The Banquet
***SIGN*** Episode Eight
**[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.
