**[00:08] Investigator A**
Now, between your
illegally modified Deco,
**[00:11] Investigator A**
and the way you fabricated
a prime access code,
**[00:14] Investigator A**
there's no way you're an amateur.
**[00:16] Investigator A**
You do this a lot, don't you?
**[00:21] Investigator B**
How long are you going to stay quiet?
**[00:23] Investigator B**
We've put together a list of denied
incidents the Customer Center has handled.
**[00:31] Investigator A**
A Love transfer scam, hm?
That was definitely you.
**[00:36] Investigator A**
A Yurei who can't talk? How convenient.
**[00:39] Investigator B**
How about this, then?
**[00:41] Investigator B**
Look at this. This so-called "Zero
Phenomenon" the public is panicking over...
**[00:46] Investigator B**
This was taken in an area where Love values
were reset to zero. And that's you, isn't it?
**[00:50] Investigator A**
I'm thinking you caused the Zero
Phenomenon and made off with the Love.

**[02:30] Berry**
Is Hack the name of that weirdo?
**[02:36] Berry**
E-Excuse me...
**[02:42] Berry**
W-Wow, you've got pretty fingers.
**[02:47] Finn**
That explains it.
**[02:49] Finn**
I see.
**[02:53] Berry**
Hey, it's the robot that
was with the weirdo!
**[02:57] Finn**
I understand, Pup.
**[02:59] Finn**
So Hack was taken by the Customer
Center, and you got left behind...
**[03:03] Berry**
So do you guys know
where that weirdo Hack is?
**[03:12] Berry**
Hey! Wait up!
**[03:18] Berry**
So where are you going?
**[03:20] Berry**
And hey, about this "Hack"...
**[03:23] Berry**
Are you that weirdo's friend?
**[03:26] Finn**
It's none of your business.
Go get your Deco fixed.
**[03:29] Berry**
Wait, how do you even know about that?
**[03:31] Berry**
And that's none of *your* business.
**[03:34] Berry**
So did something happen to that Hack kid?
**[03:37] Berry**
And hey, you mentioned the Customer
Center before. What's that about?
**[03:42] Finn**
Hack was caught.
**[03:44] Berry**
Why?
**[03:46] Berry**
Wait... Did that happen after
that weirdo helped me escape?
**[03:50] Berry**
It's my fault.
**[03:54] Finn**
Hack... helped you?
**[03:57] Berry**
Wh-What is it?
**[03:59] Finn**
Come with me.
**[04:00] Berry**
Who exactly are you?
**[04:03] Finn**
A ghost.
**[04:20] Berry**
Wow, I'm seeing a lot
of secret hideouts lately.
**[04:28] Finn**
He said "Don't touch."
**[04:34] Berry**
So about Hack...
**[04:36] Finn**
How did you find that
location where I met you?
**[04:40] Berry**
Huh? Well, I mean...
**[04:42] Finn**
And who are you to Hack?
**[04:49] Berry**
I guess you could say... we're friends?
**[04:52] Berry**
Or maybe not.
**[04:58] Finn**
What are you *doing*?!
**[04:59] Berry**
Ah, sorry!
**[05:00] Berry**
It's just... Earlier, you said you were a ghost...
**[05:05] Finn**
What of it?
**[05:06] Berry**
I mean, you can't touch ghosts, right?
**[05:14] Berry**
What's he laughing at?
**[05:16] Finn**
The "ghosts" on this island aren't
the restless spirits of the dead.
**[05:23] Finn**
They are people whose births aren't
recognized, let alone their deaths.
**[05:29] Berry**
What kinda "ghosts" are those?
**[05:33] Finn**
You know how you need a
Deco to live on this island, yes?
**[05:38] Finn**
It makes switching between
reality and the Hyperverse possible.
**[05:43] Finn**
But to get a Deco, you need
to be a registered citizen.
**[05:46] Finn**
And what if, for whatever reason,
**[05:49] Finn**
that registration never happened,
or details of it got lost or erased?
**[05:54] Finn**
The result is a not-insignificant
number of unregistered citizens.
**[05:58] Finn**
People outside the system.
**[06:01] Finn**
Citizens in the shadows, their
existence not officially recognized.
**[06:04] Finn**
Those are the Yurei.
**[06:07] Finn**
And in exchange for not having a place in
the system, they can go where they please
**[06:12] Finn**
without anyone discovering them.
**[06:16] Berry**
I never knew there were people like that.
**[06:19] Finn**
It isn't simply a case of not
knowing. You were never told.
**[06:22] Finn**
They arrange it so there's no way to find out.
**[06:27] Berry**
But I can see you.
**[06:29] Finn**
Right. It's not like the unregistered
use some kind of special magic.
**[06:35] Finn**
And we're not invisible.
**[06:38] Finn**
This is just what Yurei are.
**[06:39] Berry**
Hack, too?
**[06:41] Finn**
By hacking people's Decos, Hack's
able to move around town undetected.
**[06:45] Berry**
Hacking?
**[06:47] Berry**
I get it. Because my Deco's broken,
that didn't work and I was able to see Hack.
**[06:54] Berry**
Being a Yurei sounds pretty awesome!
**[07:02] Berry**
What's he saying?
**[07:03] Finn**
He's asking you to return Hack's device.
**[07:07] Berry**
Wait, is that...
**[07:12] Finn**
He thinks there's no way
Hack would help you.
**[07:16] Finn**
That you were just a convenient
way to keep the device safe.
**[07:20] Berry**
Wh-What's with that?
**[07:24] Finn**
I have to agree.
**[07:26] Finn**
You finding that location is proof.
**[07:33] Berry**
Well, I don't have any device, so whatever.
**[07:37] Berry**
I don't know what you just said,
but you're ticking me off!
**[07:49] Guard**
Your trial will be held shortly
in the Customer Center.
**[07:53] Guard**
Since you're a Yurei, I'm sure you know this,
**[07:55] Guard**
but given the unrecognized
status of unregistered citizens,
**[07:58] Guard**
the trial will be held in private.
**[08:01] Guard**
Even so, the jury will be made up of Center
employees, and fairness is guaranteed.
**[08:10] Guard**
I can't believe a kid's responsible for
the Zero Phenomenon. What a mess.
**[08:14] Guard**
We've got our hands full with the game cover
story and staff cleaning up all traces of it.
**[08:30] Hack**
That was a good nap.
**[08:39] Madam**
Hello. How are you?
**[08:42] Finn**
Madam 44.
**[08:44] Madam**
Finn.
**[08:45] Madam**
Out of all the inventors ever, do you know
which is the greatest creator of all time?
**[08:52] Madam**
It's the "accident," my dear.
**[08:54] Madam**
Yes, I'm reminded of the time those fine
ladies wandered into the misty forest...
**[09:01] Madam**
Right before I shot that wicked magistrate
with an arrow from my golden bow.
**[09:06] Madam**
Yes, that little "accident" had my
heart roaring like a lion. Just like now!
**[09:13] Madam**
You're in a spot of trouble, aren't you?
**[09:16] Finn**
I am. And you could call it an "accident."
**[09:19] Finn**
I must admit, gossip queen or not,
I'm impressed you already know.
**[09:24] Madam**
Underestimate my connections at
your peril. This isn't like you, though.
**[09:29] Madam**
Good thing I already have a lead.
**[09:31] Finn**
You know where Hack's being held?
**[09:34] Madam**
Oh, little Hacky isn't just being *held*...
**[09:37] Madam**
They're setting the poor child up to take the
fall for this "Zero Phenomenon" nonsense.
**[09:43] Finn**
They're blaming the
Zero Phenomenon on Hack?
**[09:45] Madam**
Yes, as if the child were Phantom Zero.
**[09:47] Berry**
That's not true!
**[09:48] Berry**
That weirdo wasn't to blame!
**[09:51] Berry**
I saw it happen. When the
Zero Phenomenon kicked in,
**[09:54] Berry**
it wasn't Hack who caused it!
**[10:02] Madam**
You'd need evidence to prove that, my dear.
**[10:06] Madam**
And you'd need it right away, because the
trial is scheduled for tomorrow morning.
**[10:17] Berry**
What do I do? This is my fault.
**[10:20] Berry**
They're gonna make that weirdo out to be
Phantom Zero because of me. What can I do?
**[10:25] Berry**
Hey, what'll happen to Hack?
**[10:27] Finn**
If convicted, Hack will be
moved to a correctional facility.
**[10:32] Finn**
Never to be seen again.
**[10:35] Berry**
Not happenin'!
**[10:37] Berry**
I mean, I wanna see that weirdo
again. Plus, the kid's innocent.
**[10:41] Berry**
Hack's not Phantom Zero.
**[10:42] Finn**
But without any evidence...
**[10:45] Berry**
What about data from when we got
caught in the Zero Phenomenon?
**[10:49] Berry**
There might be some on here.
**[10:55] Finn**
So you did have something of Hack's.
**[10:57] Berry**
Please.
**[11:00] Finn**
Analyzing this might help
us solve the mystery.
**[11:04] Berry**
Awesome! You're gonna examine
it in the Hyperverse, right?
**[11:07] Berry**
I wanna come, too!
**[11:10] Finn**
Then, I shall have you do it. And...
**[11:15] Finn**
I'll make the most picturesque Hyperverse
space in all of creation for you to explore.
**[11:21] Finn**
A what-esque what now?
**[11:23] Finn**
I don't follow, but it sounds Love-y!
**[11:26] Finn**
Everything we need is on its way.
**[11:32] Hank**
Hey, Finn, baby!
**[11:36] Hank**
Down it goes.
**[11:38] Finn**
Hank, we don't have much time.
We need to start building.
**[11:42] Hank**
The kid ain't around today?
**[11:45] Hank**
Looks like somethin' bad's gone down...
**[11:47] Hank**
So you're going into the Hyperverse?
Ya sure that's a good idea?
**[11:52] Finn**
No. She's going in.
**[11:55] Hank**
This girl here?! For real?
**[11:57] Berry**
Yep!
**[12:03] Berry**
This is some beefy hardware.
**[12:05] Hank**
You know your stuff, sweetheart.
**[12:07] Berry**
Don't I, though?
**[12:08] Hank**
Okay. All set!
**[12:10] Hank**
Yeah!
**[12:11] Hank**
I call this the "Spirit of the
Storm," also known as...
**[12:14] Hank**
The SOS!
**[12:18] Berry**
Love-y!
**[12:19] Finn**
This should do fine.
**[12:20] Finn**
Now I just need to decompress
the data on this device...
**[12:26] Hank**
All right, folks, I'll leave you to it.
**[12:29] Hank**
Bon voyage.
**[12:42] Berry**
Okay!
**[12:43] Finn**
Data analysis complete.
**[12:47] Finn**
Activating Hyperverse.
**[12:50] Berry**
Let's-a go!
**[12:58] Berry**
It's so Love-y that you
can make a world like this.
**[13:01] Berry**
Plus, it's totally standalone.
**[13:04] Berry**
No connections means it's not
utilizing any shared data, right?
**[13:08] Berry**
That's crazy! It puts the
"Hyper" in Hyperverse!
**[13:11] Finn**
*Stop muttering to yourself.*
**[13:13] Finn**
*You can hear me, yes?*
**[13:15] Finn**
* I'm going to set construction prime*
* authorization to the highest level.*
**[13:19] Finn**
*Get ready.*
**[13:24] Berry**
Wow!
**[13:25] Berry**
Okay!
**[13:27] Berry**
So fast!
**[13:32] Berry**
What the...
**[13:37] Berry**
I can't stop!
**[13:40] Finn**
Simmer down.
**[13:43] Berry**
This is nothing!
**[13:48] Finn**
Okay, I'm going to display the
data from Hack's device now.
**[13:57] Berry**
Wow. It's usually only the Customer Center
that can produce something this detailed.
**[14:01] Berry**
You're awesome, Finn!
**[14:03] Finn**
*Skip the flattery.*
**[14:05] Finn**
* Use the Timeline to figure out where*
* ground zero for the Phenomenon was.*
**[14:09] Berry**
Right.
**[14:11] Berry**
What the heck is this tech, though?
**[14:15] Berry**
This should do it.
**[14:19] Berry**
There!
**[14:21] Berry**
I think that's the place.
**[14:28] Berry**
Okay, now to find it!
**[14:42] Finn**
What is it? Is there too
much data to sort through?
**[14:45] Finn**
Your Deco's acting up, too.
**[14:47] Berry**
*Yeah. I'm still good, though.*
**[14:49] Finn**
It's the right eye, yes? Be careful.
**[14:59] Berry**
This is it.
**[15:00] Berry**
See? This proves Hack didn't do it.
**[15:03] Finn**
*All right, understood.*
**[15:04] Finn**
* Now you just need to reproduce the data from*
* when the Zero Phenomenon became active.*
**[15:08] Berry**
Got it!
**[15:12] Berry**
Is this how it happened?
**[15:15] Berry**
Well, Hack didn't do it, and it doesn't
seem like anyone's *making* it happen...
**[15:20] Berry**
Did it just happen naturally?
**[15:23] Berry**
Okay. Got the record.
**[15:30] Finn**
We can't be sure it was a natural
occurrence yet. There's not enough data.
**[15:35] Berry**
*You think? But who could've done it, then?*
**[15:38] Finn**
There'll be plenty of time
to find that out later.
**[15:55] Finn**
All done.
**[15:56] Finn**
Right!
**[16:02] Prosecutor**
As I've just laid out,
**[16:03] Prosecutor**
the defendant has pilfered Love scores
on multiple occasions in the past.
**[16:08] Prosecutor**
In addition to fabricating scores—
**[16:13] Hack**
So sleepy...
**[16:15] Judge**
Continue.
**[16:16] Prosecution**
As such, the defendant caused the Zero
Phenomenon in order to steal even more Love.
**[16:21] Prosecution**
In short, the defendant is Phantom Zero!
**[16:24] Belle**
Objection!
**[16:30] Judge**
And you are?
**[16:31] Belle**
My apologies, your honor.
**[16:33] Belle**
I know I'm late, but I'm here
to represent the defendant.
**[16:38] Belle**
I'm a defense lawyer.
**[16:40] Belle**
My name is Belle.
**[16:41] Prosecution**
The defendant already declined legal
representation. Who arranged this?
**[16:46] Belle**
Uh, well, it was...
**[16:48] Finn**
*Say it was a human rights group.*
**[16:51] Finn**
It was a cumin whites gloop!
**[16:53] Finn**
Huh?
**[16:54] Judge**
Order!
**[16:56] Judge**
Now, who arranged this?
**[16:58] Finn**
*Human. Rights. Group.*
**[17:00] Berry**
Oh, crap.
**[17:02] Berry**
I-It was a human rights group.
**[17:08] Berry**
Now, members of the jury...
**[17:16] Berry**
I'd like you to look at this.
**[17:18] Berry**
First, I'd like to submit this
data recreation as evidence.
**[17:23] Berry**
You're looking at the location where
the Zero Phenomenon occurred.
**[17:27] Berry**
And this is it in action.
**[17:30] Berry**
As you can see, the Zero Phenomenon
doesn't appear to be triggered by anyone,
**[17:34] Berry**
but rather, it is something
that occurs naturally.
**[17:37] Berry**
Now, here is the defendant
at that same moment in time.
**[17:41] Berry**
As you can see, this is a
completely different location,
**[17:45] Berry**
meaning in terms of time and place, there's
no way my client could've been responsible!
**[17:51] Finn**
* Hey. Don't forget about the*
* issues with your right eye.*
**[17:54] Belle**
Yes, it's pure coincidence that my client was
found at the scene of the Zero Phenomenon.
**[17:59] Belle**
As you can see, if anything, the defendant
was a victim of this strange occurrence.
**[18:05] Belle**
And this data is irrefutable proof of that!
**[18:12] Finn**
* Don't get worked up.*
* You'll wreck the disguise.*
**[18:16] Belle**
"Zero is a lie. And everything
that is *not* zero is the truth."
**[18:20] Belle**
These are the words spoken by the Phantom
Zero present in the popular video game.
**[18:25] Belle**
But a game is just that: a game.
**[18:27] Belle**
In short, the incident this case centers
around has nothing to do with Phantom Zero,
**[18:33] Belle**
who is nothing more than
a character in a video game.
**[18:36] Belle**
However, due to the prosecutor's insistence
on there being a connection to Phantom Zero,
**[18:42] Belle**
a completely innocent person
has been held responsible
**[18:45] Belle**
in a total miscarriage of justice!
**[18:50] Berry**
Your honor!
**[18:51] Judge**
Wh-Who are you?
**[18:54] Juror A**
Wait, wasn't she in the video evidence?
**[18:56] Juror**
What's going on?
**[18:58] Juror**
What's a child doing in here?
**[18:58] Juror**
Uh...
**[18:59] Finn**
*What happened?*
**[19:01] Hack**
Nerdy-birdy!
**[19:03] Berry**
I messed up.
**[19:07] Juror A**
What *is* that?
**[19:14] Hack**
Back for more, glitchy-witchy?!
**[19:19] Juror B**
Look! The Zero Phenomenon!
**[19:21] Juror C**
I-It's Phantom Zero!
**[19:22] Juror D**
D-Don't be stupid! This isn't a game!
**[19:25] Judge**
O-Order!
**[19:28] Guard**
I-It's Phantom Zero!
**[19:31] Berry**
See? *That's* the real Phantom Zero!
**[19:33] Finn**
*What did you say?*
**[19:34] Finn**
* No, it doesn't matter right now.*
* This is your chance. Get Hack out of there.*
**[19:38] Berry**
Oh, right.
**[19:40] Finn**
* I'm sending instructions via your*
* Deco. Just follow what they say.*
**[19:45] Berry**
Got it.
**[19:47] Hack**
Is Finn pullin' a trick or two?
**[19:48] Berry**
Yeah.
**[19:49] Hack**
Don't leave me sit-sittin' here all day.
**[19:53] Hack**
It's time to bail.
**[19:54] Berry**
Leave it to me.
**[19:57] Berry**
Upsy-daisy!
**[20:03] Berry**
I. Love...
**[20:06] Berry**
Ai!
**[20:10] Jurors**
Should we evacuate?
**[20:14] Berry**
Piece of cake!
**[20:15] Finn**
* Good. Once you're out of the courtroom,*
* head straight down the hallway.*
**[20:22] Security A**
What's the deal with this robot?
**[20:25] Security B**
Hey, the defendant's gone!
**[20:27] Security A**
Was it just a distraction?!
**[20:28] Security B**
That kid really was Phantom Zero!
**[20:30] Finn**
*It's right at the next corner.*
**[20:33] Finn**
*After that, go left.*
**[20:35] Finn**
*Get a move on. You've got 20 seconds left.*
**[20:39] Berry**
Hey, wait!
**[20:42] Berry**
This is a dead end!
**[20:44] Finn**
*Jump down from there.*
**[20:46] Berry**
N-N-N-N-N-N-No way!
**[20:49] Finn**
*Three seconds left. Jump.*
**[20:51] Berry**
There's no way!
**[20:51] Finn**
*Two. One.*
**[20:53] Hack**
Zero!
**[20:54] Berry**
Please!
**[21:01] Berry**
We are long-long gone-gone!
**[21:05] Berry**
Giga! Tera! Peta! Exa!
**[21:09] Berry**
Zetta! Yotta! Harpo!
**[21:10] Berry**
I thought I was a goner...
**[21:13] Berry**
What now, Finn?
**[21:14] Finn**
* Right. You'll be coming*
* up on a cargo terminal.*
**[21:17] Finn**
*Sit tight until then.*
**[21:18] Berry**
W-Wait... Is that...
**[21:21] Berry**
Crap, they found us!
**[21:23] Squad**
You won't get away, Phantom Zero!
**[21:27] Berry**
What do we do, Finn?
**[21:35] Berry**
Finn! *Finn!*
**[21:40] Berry**
I don't wanna die!
**[21:58] Trooper**
* This is the search unit.*
* A freight cart on the rail has exploded.*
**[22:02] Trooper**
* The fugitive, Phantom Zero, and the fugitive's*
* accomplice were caught in the explosion.*
**[22:06] Trooper**
*I repeat...*
