WEBVTT
00:12.783 --> 00:14.243
[theme music playing]
01:42.039 --> 01:47.002
THE RED IN OUR LIVES
01:48.254 --> 01:50.965
[muffled traffic]
01:52.716 --> 01:56.178
[groans, smacks lips]
01:58.264 --> 02:02.685
[grunting softly]
02:10.151 --> 02:11.443
Uh, Haru?
02:12.653 --> 02:13.654
[sniffs]
02:16.574 --> 02:17.408
[groans softly]
02:19.952 --> 02:20.953
Huh?
02:21.036 --> 02:22.997
[melancholy music playing]
02:28.169 --> 02:29.461
[breath trembles]
02:32.423 --> 02:33.799
[inhales sharply]
02:33.883 --> 02:35.176
[heart beating]
02:39.263 --> 02:41.265
[gasping]
02:43.517 --> 02:44.518
[whimpering]
02:45.811 --> 02:49.690
[Legoshi] I'm dreaming, right?
This has gotta be a dream.
02:50.566 --> 02:51.609
Haru...
02:53.193 --> 02:55.195
[sobbing]
02:57.615 --> 02:58.616
This hurts.
03:00.075 --> 03:01.327
This is real.
03:03.787 --> 03:04.663
You idiot!
03:05.915 --> 03:07.875
Why... Why?
03:08.709 --> 03:12.838
[strangled howl]
03:16.675 --> 03:17.676
[inhales sharply]
03:18.677 --> 03:22.264
Haru... Haru.
03:24.975 --> 03:25.851
Haru.
03:32.024 --> 03:33.025
Haru...
03:34.151 --> 03:36.153
[echoing voice] That's how it should be.
03:37.154 --> 03:38.030
Huh?
03:38.614 --> 03:42.743
[shadowy figure] You've buried
your feelings ever since you were a kid.
03:42.826 --> 03:45.412
You've lived quietly in the darkness.
03:45.955 --> 03:49.583
[Legoshi] Hold on.
I thought I had locked you away.
03:50.876 --> 03:55.422
[shadowy figure] Well, it turns out Melon
was kind enough to open the door for me.
03:55.506 --> 03:56.966
[Legoshi gasps]
03:57.049 --> 03:59.510
Those flames
burning deep within his eyes...
04:00.886 --> 04:02.763
It's what I was afraid of.
04:02.846 --> 04:04.598
[sobbing]
04:04.682 --> 04:07.685
[shadowy figure] Don't turn away.
Face yourself.
04:08.352 --> 04:12.231
What feeling creeps in?
Sadness? Or is it frustration?
04:12.898 --> 04:15.025
Or is it neither?
04:15.109 --> 04:18.445
It's your instinct, alive and well.
04:21.740 --> 04:23.575
No! [sobbing]
04:31.458 --> 04:35.713
How could I? What have I done?
04:37.673 --> 04:39.842
I'll never see her again.
04:39.925 --> 04:41.593
[continues sobbing]
04:44.346 --> 04:45.764
[door opens]
04:45.848 --> 04:49.560
[Haru] Oh, sorry about the mess.
I was going to clean that when I got back.
04:50.561 --> 04:51.478
Huh?
04:51.562 --> 04:53.939
[sighs] I've gotta be more careful
with tomato juice.
04:54.023 --> 04:56.275
I'm better at spilling it
than drinking it.
04:56.358 --> 04:57.359
H... Haru?
04:58.319 --> 04:59.778
Tomato juice?
04:59.862 --> 05:00.779
[sniffs]
05:01.363 --> 05:03.657
Was I too shocked to use my nose?
05:03.741 --> 05:05.868
[Haru] What is it? What's wrong?
05:12.291 --> 05:15.753
Hey, are you okay?
You didn't have a nightmare, did you?
05:16.879 --> 05:20.341
It was a nightmare, and it felt so real.
05:21.842 --> 05:24.345
It was frightening.
I'm just glad I'm awake.
05:26.055 --> 05:28.057
- You're so warm.
- [exhales worriedly]
05:28.724 --> 05:30.976
How about, um, some breakfast?
05:32.478 --> 05:33.812
[chuckles lightly]
05:35.147 --> 05:36.857
We have yogurt and bread.
05:37.441 --> 05:40.152
So, which one?
We've got aloe or strawberry.
05:41.111 --> 05:43.572
- [Legoshi sighs]
- Well, for me, I like strawberry.
05:44.490 --> 05:45.991
[Legoshi exhales heavily]
05:46.075 --> 05:47.284
I'm so grateful.
05:47.367 --> 05:50.871
[giggles] Too slow. You get aloe. Here!
05:50.954 --> 05:55.626
[Legoshi] Outside of my nightmare,
I guess we're really pretty lucky.
05:56.126 --> 05:57.169
Come and get it!
05:57.252 --> 05:59.505
[Legoshi] If I have this dream
of eating her...
06:00.255 --> 06:04.426
I can't imagine
Haru hasn't dreamt of me doing it.
06:05.761 --> 06:09.807
And yet here she is,
with her yogurt and bread,
06:09.890 --> 06:13.268
happy to have breakfast with me,
like it's just what we do.
06:14.603 --> 06:17.815
You've got all our weight
on your shoulders.
06:18.524 --> 06:21.985
Just you. But because of that, we work.
06:22.736 --> 06:24.238
- Listen, Haru!
- [Haru exclaims]
06:24.321 --> 06:25.405
[gentle music playing]
06:25.489 --> 06:26.323
You and me...
06:27.032 --> 06:28.909
I think you and I should get married.
06:29.409 --> 06:32.496
I wanna live with you. Maybe have kids.
06:32.579 --> 06:36.208
And no matter what nightmares pop up,
I know we can handle it.
06:36.291 --> 06:39.253
And I wanna have yogurt
every single day with you.
06:40.087 --> 06:43.757
I mean, don't we deserve happiness?
I wanna be happy with you.
06:43.841 --> 06:46.009
Uh... yeah.
06:47.261 --> 06:50.597
Okay. Well, then, I have a request for us.
06:51.181 --> 06:52.224
[Legoshi] Anything.
06:52.307 --> 06:54.434
I wanna see the Festival of the Meteor.
06:55.144 --> 06:56.436
And I wanna go with you.
06:57.729 --> 06:58.856
The festival?
06:58.939 --> 07:00.899
Well, we couldn't do it last year.
07:01.525 --> 07:04.695
And when we go,
let's light a candle together.
07:05.904 --> 07:06.905
Make a promise.
07:13.245 --> 07:15.122
[Legoshi] She will be my wife.
07:16.165 --> 07:20.294
Before that, though,
I made a promise to Mr. Yahya.
07:23.338 --> 07:25.048
Where are you, Melon?
07:25.132 --> 07:26.592
[music swells forebodingly]
07:26.675 --> 07:29.928
KING OF BEASTS
07:30.012 --> 07:31.013
[Free sighs]
07:31.972 --> 07:33.724
You know, Melon, he, uh...
07:33.807 --> 07:36.226
he never even bothered
to learn Hino's name.
07:37.728 --> 07:42.149
And in Melon's eyes, gang members are
nothing but weak little pawns.
07:44.318 --> 07:45.527
HERE LIES HINO
07:45.611 --> 07:46.570
[Agata] Damn, Hino...
07:47.321 --> 07:51.033
You deserved better. You deserved a death
worthy of a lion's mane.
07:52.701 --> 07:53.952
[clippers buzzing]
07:54.495 --> 07:55.787
Hey! What are you doing?
07:55.871 --> 07:57.956
I haven't earned my mane, have I?
07:58.457 --> 08:01.335
I'm following Melon
even after Hino was killed.
08:01.418 --> 08:02.961
The king of beasts, my ass!
08:03.045 --> 08:04.421
- Stop! Come on!
- [all struggling]
08:04.505 --> 08:05.589
I don't deserve this mane!
08:05.672 --> 08:07.716
- Stop! Just stop!
- Get off me! Just let me do this!
08:07.799 --> 08:09.510
We're right here with you!
08:09.593 --> 08:12.012
- We know this isn't easy!
- Remember what he said!
08:12.095 --> 08:14.765
He said, since you were born a male lion,
08:14.848 --> 08:18.644
it falls upon you to become
a king of beasts worthy of your mane.
08:18.727 --> 08:21.063
Exactly. You take care of it
until you earn it,
08:21.146 --> 08:23.357
and that takes time. And you know that.
08:24.191 --> 08:26.443
But Hino... our Hino...
08:28.487 --> 08:32.199
At this rate, my mane will just sit
on the head of a pretender!
08:32.282 --> 08:33.200
[inhales shakily]
08:34.243 --> 08:36.620
How am I supposed to ever forgive Melon?
08:36.703 --> 08:38.664
He'll never be Shishi-Gumi!
08:39.456 --> 08:41.208
[Victor] Are you gonna
take him down, then?
08:42.167 --> 08:44.086
And you think you're up for that?
08:44.169 --> 08:47.047
Let's say you do.
When a turf war breaks out,
08:47.130 --> 08:49.383
what are we supposed to do without a boss?
08:49.466 --> 08:51.051
Meat Appreciation Day...
08:51.134 --> 08:53.637
How great would it be
if we got Louis back?
08:53.720 --> 08:55.222
Yeah, that'd be nice.
08:55.305 --> 08:59.560
Louis, huh... He treated us
like the kings of beasts that we are.
09:00.352 --> 09:03.855
That was great.
I'll admit, Louis was the man.
09:03.939 --> 09:05.482
But nothing lasts forever.
09:05.566 --> 09:08.277
Well, if we asked nicely,
he might come back.
09:08.360 --> 09:11.488
- Maybe if we bowed our heads in respect--
- [Legoshi] No way! You can't do that!
09:11.572 --> 09:12.489
- What?
- The hell?
09:12.573 --> 09:13.448
[Legoshi] Oh.
09:13.532 --> 09:16.159
- [Free] Looky here. I remember you.
- [guns cock]
09:16.243 --> 09:18.370
Looks like you're still alive.
09:18.453 --> 09:21.206
What are you doing here?
Forget what dyin' feels like?
09:21.290 --> 09:22.374
[Legoshi] You gotta listen.
09:23.041 --> 09:25.669
Hear me out. I just...
just want to ask something.
09:25.752 --> 09:26.753
[lion snarls]
09:26.837 --> 09:29.172
I want Melon,
and I thought you all could help.
09:29.256 --> 09:31.842
- And why would you think that?
- I want to catch him.
09:32.467 --> 09:35.470
Unless I'm wrong,
sounds like you all want Melon gone.
09:36.221 --> 09:37.889
If we could work toge-- Whoa!
09:38.724 --> 09:41.184
Us following a wolf? You must be nuts!
09:41.268 --> 09:43.395
[Legoshi] I'm not asking you to follow me.
09:43.478 --> 09:45.856
Now, wait. We seem to have the same goal.
09:46.607 --> 09:49.109
Louis is my senior,
but I don't think he should be your boss.
09:49.192 --> 09:52.487
What? What do you mean,
Louis is your senior?
09:53.113 --> 09:55.616
- What are you blabbing about?
- In high school he was my senior.
09:55.699 --> 09:56.700
[Jimma] Huh?
09:56.783 --> 09:58.910
I don't care who you are to Louis.
09:58.994 --> 10:00.412
[Victor grunts]
10:00.495 --> 10:02.998
Yeah, sure, Melon's a problem for us,
10:03.081 --> 10:05.626
but we're not desperate enough
to turn to a canine!
10:05.709 --> 10:08.587
Don't worry, pup.
We can solve this on our own.
10:08.670 --> 10:11.423
And now, since those canine ears
hear so well,
10:11.506 --> 10:13.550
now we gotta make sure you stay dead!
10:14.051 --> 10:15.719
[Legoshi grunting]
10:19.431 --> 10:21.016
[Legoshi panting]
10:23.477 --> 10:24.603
Use your heads.
10:25.187 --> 10:27.564
You think Louis will forgive you
if you kill me?
10:27.648 --> 10:29.650
Pretty confident, I see.
10:29.733 --> 10:31.735
I'll admit, kid, you got balls.
10:31.818 --> 10:34.821
But losing any more of our lion's pride
ain't on the table.
10:36.573 --> 10:39.159
This time when you die, you'll stay dead.
10:39.743 --> 10:41.453
[growls]
10:42.913 --> 10:44.998
- [Mayor] The Zoolympics.
- [triumphant music playing]
10:45.082 --> 10:47.167
[Mayor] All manner of species
coming together
10:47.250 --> 10:49.920
to showcase a wide range
of special abilities.
10:50.921 --> 10:53.173
It's an event
that transcends our differences,
10:53.256 --> 10:57.052
where we can exist in peace
and mutually appreciate our achievements.
10:57.886 --> 11:01.056
It embodies our slogan, "Live Together,"
11:01.139 --> 11:03.809
my vision for co-existence and prosperity.
11:05.185 --> 11:10.065
I'm currently considering the prospect of
bringing the Zoolympics to our fine city.
11:10.148 --> 11:13.694
Interesting. I've heard
the costs can be astronomical.
11:14.236 --> 11:16.822
Oftentimes, cities withdraw their bids.
11:16.905 --> 11:20.450
In spite of that,
I believe there's an opportunity there.
11:20.534 --> 11:23.912
As for the costs, I'm a little more
optimistic in that regard.
11:23.995 --> 11:27.624
Of course, that depends on Mr. Ogma
chairing the bidding committee.
11:27.707 --> 11:28.750
MAYOR
11:28.834 --> 11:32.337
[Louis] Something seems off here.
Does Father have some kind of a plan?
11:33.088 --> 11:35.757
[Mayor] On top of that,
I feel we have something special
11:35.841 --> 11:37.509
we can bring to the table.
11:40.262 --> 11:42.180
[Louis] Uh... raw meat?
11:42.264 --> 11:43.849
[Mayor] Lab-cultured meat.
11:43.932 --> 11:47.269
Oh, yeah, I vaguely recall
hearing about that.
11:47.352 --> 11:49.271
[Mayor] Using cultured muscle cells,
11:49.354 --> 11:52.441
this was artificially created
through the wonders of science,
11:53.233 --> 11:57.779
meaning no one had to die for this
and it can be consumed ethically.
11:57.863 --> 12:00.824
[Louis] Its resemblance to the real thing
is remarkable.
12:00.907 --> 12:03.827
[Mayor] It tastes like regular meat
and has the same nutrients.
12:04.411 --> 12:06.455
I didn't know its development
was this far along.
12:06.997 --> 12:09.166
Apparently, it's almost ready for release.
12:09.916 --> 12:10.792
[Louis] So then...
12:11.293 --> 12:15.464
It's no secret some athletes have been
eating meat and getting away with it,
12:15.547 --> 12:17.924
and that's, of course,
a regrettable aspect.
12:18.008 --> 12:18.925
Agreed.
12:19.009 --> 12:23.722
So, then, what if the solution is
offering this meat to those same athletes?
12:23.805 --> 12:26.975
I'm sure carnivores across the board
would have no problem with that.
12:27.058 --> 12:30.353
And with that, its nutrition
would give them the edge
12:30.437 --> 12:32.230
for record-breaking performance.
12:33.064 --> 12:35.525
For Horns Pharmaceuticals and Ogura Foods,
12:35.609 --> 12:38.904
it's the perfect advertising opportunity.
12:39.529 --> 12:43.783
[Louis] So, Azuki's father's company,
working with Horns Pharmaceuticals?
12:43.867 --> 12:44.993
This smells fishy.
12:45.660 --> 12:48.580
- [Louis gasps]
- [Mayor] So here's where you come in.
12:49.122 --> 12:52.918
We have decided that you should serve
as our ambassador for the bid.
12:53.001 --> 12:53.919
[Louis] What?
12:54.002 --> 12:57.088
The younger crowds respect you.
You have influence.
12:57.172 --> 12:59.966
You're seen as a future Beastar
by the community.
13:00.050 --> 13:01.301
[Louis exhales tensely]
13:01.885 --> 13:02.969
Uh, Father?
13:04.721 --> 13:05.764
I think it's clear.
13:07.265 --> 13:08.350
I understand.
13:10.310 --> 13:11.478
- [phone buzzes]
- Oh.
13:14.105 --> 13:16.650
[Mayor] Oh, look at how your antlers
have grown.
13:16.733 --> 13:18.276
KITTY:
WE'VE GOT THE WOLF
13:18.360 --> 13:20.403
Like father, like son.
13:21.488 --> 13:23.573
I'm looking forward to working together.
13:25.992 --> 13:29.412
All right, let's start
the first read-through. We ready?
13:29.496 --> 13:31.665
[all affirm]
13:32.249 --> 13:35.460
[Juno] Pina, you really know
how to get under my skin,
13:35.544 --> 13:37.546
but for the sake of the play,
I can look past that.
13:37.629 --> 13:39.214
[Kibi] "One thousand years ago,
13:39.297 --> 13:43.009
an era when herbivores and carnivores
lived together in harmony,
13:43.093 --> 13:44.135
without division..."
13:44.219 --> 13:46.930
"Laila and the others went out
to gather fruit."
13:47.013 --> 13:49.224
"It's been seven sunrises
since they left."
13:49.307 --> 13:51.434
"They don't usually take this long."
13:51.518 --> 13:54.563
"Don't worry, it's Laila.
She's definitely fine."
13:54.646 --> 13:57.190
"Laila enters from stage right."
13:58.358 --> 14:01.069
"Everyone, don't worry. We've returned!"
14:01.152 --> 14:04.072
"On our way back
we were attacked by Jaguars,
14:04.155 --> 14:06.449
but with these fangs, and with my claws--"
14:06.533 --> 14:08.326
"Everyone, don't worry. We've returned!"
14:08.410 --> 14:10.996
"On our way back we were attacked
by Jaguars, but with--"
14:11.079 --> 14:13.248
Whoa, hold it, hang on!
What are you doing?
14:13.331 --> 14:14.791
Stick to the lines that are yours.
14:14.874 --> 14:19.087
I understand the concept.
I was just thinking how I would play it.
14:19.170 --> 14:20.171
Huh?
14:21.006 --> 14:24.801
The character is a strong leader
with a quiet confidence.
14:24.885 --> 14:28.388
Wouldn't it be striking
if they're nonchalant about this violence?
14:28.471 --> 14:31.141
- Oh, yeah, I see what you mean.
- Yeah, but--
14:31.224 --> 14:36.021
Okay, you're only here for one reason.
You're perfect for the role of Garan.
14:36.104 --> 14:39.232
That's right. Let's remember
the illustrations of herbivores
14:39.316 --> 14:41.443
from the time period this play is set in.
14:41.526 --> 14:43.528
The horned sheep is very iconic.
14:43.612 --> 14:47.032
With you in that role, we bring in
the authentic flavor of that era.
14:47.115 --> 14:49.784
[Pina] Mmm, yeah, I hear you
about that ancient stuff.
14:50.744 --> 14:55.540
Listen. Wouldn't me playing a carnivore
be more intriguing?
14:55.624 --> 14:56.750
[Kibi] You're saying...
14:56.833 --> 14:59.294
Imagine this. We shake things up.
14:59.377 --> 15:02.213
The carnivores and herbivores
swap their roles.
15:02.297 --> 15:03.298
- Huh?
- Hmmm?
15:03.381 --> 15:06.927
Isn't that... Isn't that
a little bit out there? [chuckles]
15:07.010 --> 15:10.221
Ugh! Classic behavior
of an egotistical narcissist!
15:10.305 --> 15:12.515
Won't that just confuse the audience?
15:12.599 --> 15:15.769
I get that, but we could find some ways
to make it more clear,
15:15.852 --> 15:17.437
like using wardrobe to spell it out.
15:18.063 --> 15:21.524
Not bad. Maybe we could dress
the herbivores in green,
15:21.608 --> 15:23.735
and then the carnivores could wear orange.
15:23.818 --> 15:26.696
Isn't an aspect of acting
the valiant attempt
15:26.780 --> 15:28.531
to portray something you are not?
15:28.615 --> 15:32.202
- Well, yeah, you do have a point...
- Now, wait just a second!
15:35.330 --> 15:39.209
You've got some nerve! You want to steal
the role of Laila from me.
15:39.793 --> 15:42.879
Besides, I don't know the first thing
about playing an herbivore.
15:42.963 --> 15:45.840
That's perfect, then.
You can challenge yourself.
15:45.924 --> 15:49.010
Playing Laila is already
challenging enough!
15:49.094 --> 15:50.762
Has it even occurred to you
15:50.845 --> 15:53.139
that you don't understand
the carnivore experience?
15:53.223 --> 15:56.851
Let me ask you, Juno, have you ever caused
harm to an herbivore before?
15:56.935 --> 15:57.852
What?
15:58.436 --> 16:00.772
Have you ever hurt one, or eaten one?
16:01.481 --> 16:04.275
- Anything like that?
- [Juno] No, of course I haven't.
16:04.359 --> 16:07.988
So when your character does those things,
you're using your imagination?
16:08.071 --> 16:09.906
Yeah, but that's not the same.
16:09.990 --> 16:11.324
[Pina] I understand, Juno.
16:11.408 --> 16:15.036
You just want the role that shows you
in your best light, am I right?
16:15.912 --> 16:19.541
A role with just enough drama,
and monologues,
16:19.624 --> 16:22.711
so you can soak up the spotlight
as the glamorous protagonist.
16:22.794 --> 16:24.838
You're wrong! It's about the play.
16:24.921 --> 16:27.882
I just want to serve the work, and play
the role that I'm the best fit for.
16:27.966 --> 16:31.302
I believe in you. That's why I think
you should play an herbivore.
16:32.095 --> 16:33.805
You wanna be a Beastar, right?
16:33.888 --> 16:36.683
- Just think, looks good on a résumé...
- My résumé?
16:36.766 --> 16:39.644
Can you imagine it?
You playing a weak herbivore
16:39.728 --> 16:41.855
who can only survive by acting tough.
16:42.522 --> 16:44.107
I can almost see it now.
16:44.733 --> 16:46.484
- That could work.
- Yeah.
16:46.568 --> 16:48.695
There's nothing wrong
with playing it safe.
16:48.778 --> 16:50.030
At least it would be easier.
16:50.113 --> 16:52.198
[Kibi] Yeah,
but now that I think about it,
16:52.282 --> 16:54.117
Pina might be on to something.
16:54.200 --> 16:55.744
I have to say, it sounds good.
16:56.286 --> 16:58.329
Pina's got some great ideas.
16:58.413 --> 17:00.915
Sounds like it can make the theme
really stand out.
17:00.999 --> 17:03.668
Also, it kind of connects back to Adler.
17:03.752 --> 17:08.256
Isn't it true that Adler originally had
herbivores playing predators
17:08.339 --> 17:10.050
to reinforce his ideas?
17:10.133 --> 17:14.596
Well, I must admit, it would make
the dual performance more meaningful,
17:14.679 --> 17:17.098
- and much more unique...
- You aren't being serious!
17:17.182 --> 17:20.351
[Pina laughs]
Does the prospect of this frighten you?
17:21.186 --> 17:23.897
Are you worried because you don't think
you can pull it off?
17:23.980 --> 17:26.566
What? I can't believe you.
17:26.649 --> 17:29.319
What makes you think stepping into
the role of a carnivore is easy?
17:29.402 --> 17:32.322
I actually think
it'll be quite the challenge,
17:32.405 --> 17:34.365
one I know I'm ready for.
17:35.533 --> 17:37.869
Well, all right. I'll do it.
17:38.703 --> 17:40.371
I'll play Garan, then!
17:40.455 --> 17:42.999
You'll be sorry, 'cause I'll do it
better than you ever could.
17:43.083 --> 17:46.377
Nice! That's the spirit.
17:47.462 --> 17:48.546
[Juno sighs]
17:48.630 --> 17:50.799
What am I getting myself into?
17:59.641 --> 18:01.017
[line ringing]
18:03.353 --> 18:04.229
[Louis] I'm here.
18:09.859 --> 18:11.444
So, how's the hostage?
18:11.528 --> 18:13.321
I wondered if you'd come.
18:13.863 --> 18:15.198
You've got some nerve.
18:15.281 --> 18:18.785
What part of threatening me
sounded like a good idea?
18:18.868 --> 18:21.496
Tell me another way
we could have gotten you to show up.
18:21.579 --> 18:24.249
You know it's true.
You won't even pick up the phone.
18:24.332 --> 18:26.376
Enough. Just bring out the wolf.
18:26.459 --> 18:29.045
If you hurt them,
then we're gonna have a problem.
18:29.129 --> 18:30.255
[Louis stifles exclamation]
18:30.338 --> 18:32.465
You're kidding me. You're the wolf?
18:32.549 --> 18:34.634
So, uh, hello... Oh!
18:35.343 --> 18:38.763
[Louis sighs exasperatedly]
What the hell are you doing here?
18:38.847 --> 18:42.433
[chuckles awkwardly] Let me guess.
Did you think it was Juno they took?
18:42.517 --> 18:44.018
[Louis sighs]
18:44.102 --> 18:45.520
So, tell me what happened.
18:46.104 --> 18:49.732
I need to talk to Melon,
and I figured they knew where he was.
18:49.816 --> 18:52.819
If I recall, you were done with Melon.
Isn't that right?
18:52.902 --> 18:55.488
Yeah, I was, but, well...
18:55.572 --> 18:59.117
if I can catch Melon, they'll erase
my carnivore criminal record.
18:59.909 --> 19:02.787
If I don't, I won't be able to marry Haru.
19:04.914 --> 19:07.792
So your bright idea was to get them
to tell you where Melon was?
19:08.418 --> 19:09.919
You know they could have killed you.
19:10.003 --> 19:12.589
Well, "could have" almost became "did,"
19:12.672 --> 19:15.508
although they did say
if you asked them, they'd tell me.
19:15.592 --> 19:18.970
The way he was saying it was that
you'd show up if it was for him.
19:19.637 --> 19:21.723
- What?
- [laughing nervously] Well...
19:21.806 --> 19:25.935
I know you cut ties with the Shishi-Gumi,
so this is on me. I'm sorry.
19:26.561 --> 19:29.689
Uh, but still, though,
think you could do me a solid?
19:29.772 --> 19:31.024
Jeez...
19:31.733 --> 19:34.527
Even if you caught this mixed maniac,
19:34.611 --> 19:36.905
that's no guarantee
of a happily ever after.
19:37.572 --> 19:39.824
Right. I'll keep that in mind.
19:42.744 --> 19:44.120
[footsteps echoing heavily]
19:52.837 --> 19:54.297
I'm here, as you asked.
19:55.298 --> 19:58.426
Tell him where Melon is.
Make good on your end.
19:59.260 --> 20:02.722
[Dolph] Sure, we're gonna tell him,
on one condition.
20:02.805 --> 20:03.640
Which is...
20:04.557 --> 20:05.725
Louis...
20:06.517 --> 20:08.770
we want you to take up the mantle again.
20:08.853 --> 20:11.231
Come back and be our Shishi-Gumi boss.
20:11.314 --> 20:13.399
- Stop it. That's not fair!
- [Dolph] Quiet!
20:14.067 --> 20:17.487
- We'll follow your orders if you lead us.
- [Legoshi] This wasn't our agreement.
20:17.570 --> 20:19.072
So if you want us to help this wolf...
20:19.155 --> 20:21.241
[Legoshi] You said if he asked,
that would be enough.
20:21.324 --> 20:22.367
- Shut it!
- [Legoshi] Sorry.
20:22.450 --> 20:23.701
That's all we ask.
20:24.535 --> 20:27.538
- [inhales deeply] So we're clear?
- [moody jazz music playing]
20:27.622 --> 20:29.624
You'll help him if I take the reins?
20:31.876 --> 20:34.879
Respectfully... We're begging you.
20:41.594 --> 20:43.805
[Legoshi] I've never seen
anything like this.
20:44.973 --> 20:49.894
Look at him.
A deer that is able to command lions.
20:52.563 --> 20:53.690
I refuse.
20:54.399 --> 20:57.485
- Huh?
- But... why not?
20:59.362 --> 21:00.363
[Louis sighs softly]
21:00.989 --> 21:02.824
Ibuki died because of me...
21:04.367 --> 21:06.744
and because I said
I would step down as boss.
21:06.828 --> 21:09.080
[Free sighs]
21:09.872 --> 21:11.374
[Louis] I can't forget that.
21:12.542 --> 21:16.963
He gave his life. He died
to protect the Shishi-Gumi's pride.
21:23.886 --> 21:26.806
And if I returned,
his death would be for nothing.
21:27.849 --> 21:28.683
Therefore...
21:29.225 --> 21:33.521
I can't return.
I can never be your boss again.
21:34.939 --> 21:36.899
[footsteps echoing heavily]
21:38.568 --> 21:40.111
Louis... [sighs softly]
21:43.698 --> 21:46.367
I'm sorry. I hope you understand.
21:46.909 --> 21:48.453
[Legoshi sighs]
21:54.876 --> 21:55.960
[Free] Hey.
21:56.044 --> 21:56.878
Huh?
21:56.961 --> 21:58.755
So, about Melon...
21:58.838 --> 22:02.300
Apparently he's called "Professor"
in polite society.
22:03.384 --> 22:04.510
Oh.
22:07.472 --> 22:08.848
"Professor"?
22:12.018 --> 22:14.562
[closing theme song playing]
