Original subtitles

In an era in which the nations of the world were waging a fierce war

of information just out of sight,

two countries were at odds with each other: Ostania, in the east,

and Westalis, in the west.

In order to keep an eye on the actions of a leading figure in Ostania's government

who was planning a war,

Westalis set Operation Strix in motion.

The one tasked with this operation is the skilled agent, Twilight.

The mission given to the master of disguise with a hundred faces was...

to start a family.

The father, Loid Forger, is a psychiatrist.

His true identity: a spy.

Code name: Twilight.

The mother, Yor Forger, is a civil servant who works at city hall.

Her true identity: an assassin.

Code name: Thorn Princess.

The daughter, Anya Forger.

Her true identity: a telepath who can read people's minds.

The dog, Bond Forger.

A canine seer who can see the future.

They created this pretend family for their own benefit,

and their mission continues as they all hide their identities from each other.

BERLINT PANIC

Om.

Dis ice cream is so nummy!

Hey, if you eat cold foods too fast, you'll get a stomachache.

Anya will be fine because this is her special three-scoop ice cream!

How does that even work?

Hey, Bond.

Chocolate is poison to you, so absolutely do not lick that. Got it?

Borf...

Urp.

Oh, my, Miss Anya.

You've got ice cream all around your mouth.

That's...

Yor.

Apparently the apple pudding from that shop is rather famous.

Would you like to try one?

Oh, it does look delicious.

There's no telling who's got their eye on us and when.

I need to show off that we're a peaceful, loving family for the sake of Operation Strix.

Next... hmm...

Ooh! Balloons!

Anya wants balloons next!

I'm gonna get a bunch of balloons and fly through the sky!

Let's go, Bond.

Borf! Borf!

Don't run around in thes crowd.

Bond?

Some bad guy was going crazy on some tank-looking thing!

Th-That guy's super hot.

That ice cream looks really good!

All right! Today's the day I tell her how I feel!

Damn it... Look at all those jerks looking all carefree.

This is bullshit!

Why do I have to work on my day off? Damn it!

And it's just me? How shitty is that?

They say I've got a bad attitude at work?

I don't get paid for all this shit!

Look at all these jerks elegantly enjoying their day off. Screw it all!

And here I am heading to the site to clear rubble!

Ugh, damn it, damn it, damn it!

All of you can just disappear!

He's suspicious... Is he a bad guy?

What's the matter? Did you give up on the balloons?

Miss Anya?

I have to go after the guy who looks like a bad guy.

But I can't let Papa and Mama know that I read his mind.

Hello?

A-Anya wants to go home now.

What? Already?

But we just got here.

What's wrong with her?

She was happily running around just a moment ago.

Did she get a stomachache from eating too much ice cream?

Or is something troubling her? Or...

Uh, um... Oh, yeah!

Anya wants to go home and study!

And then I'mma get a bunch of Stellas!

Miss Anya!

You actually want to study on your day off! What a good girl you are!

I see. All right.

I guess she's finally gotten motivated.

I can't let this opportunity go to waste.

Let's go home right away.

Yup!

Whew. I managed to trick them.

Anya is a genius.

What should I do? I don't see him anymore.

What's the matter? Why are you so anxious?

Er, m-my teacher told me I can study lots in city, too.

I see.

Well done, instructors at Eden College.

There's nothing that says academic learning must only be done in the classroom.

Field work is very important, as well.

If you're curious about anything, ask away.

Yup!

That's the bad-guy-looking guy!

He's on the tank-looking thing!

He really was a bad guy!

What's the matter?

Papa, do construction workers not get days off?

No, I'm fairly certain they do.

There've been reevaluations on their work environment lately, too.

But look.

I guess he's working on his day off...

What impressive dark circles he has under his eyes.

Judging by his face color, how irritated his skin is, and how hollow his cheeks are,

he must be under a lot of stress.

Is he not getting enough time off?

Also...

It looks like he's demolishing the place...

But he hasn't finished demolishing the interior and is moving on to the outer walls.

Is there actually a foreman here?

At this rate, he might cause a huge accident.

He's going about his work way too violently.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Gross!

Damn it!

I guess I called it.

All of you, stay here.

Papa?!

Loid?

Damn it! How dare all of you look down on me?!

Is he trying to go take heavy machinery off-site?

He's right next to the park! I need to stop him before someone gets hurt!

What should I do?

Should I throw a rock at his chin and knock him out?

But I can't count on accuracy if I'm throwing through the window...

The wiring is... here.

What the?!

If you noticed me, I need you to stop.

Get the hell out of my way!

You leave me no choice!

Ooh! Papa is having a tank battle!

Huff, huff!

Horf, horf!

Miss Anya! Could you step back a bit with Bond?

Borf!

What's that?

Mama!

Are you all right? That missed you by a hair.

Yes, yes, dear.

As you can see, I still have all my hair.

Isn't that right, Maron?

I'm glad you're all right.

Mama! Super Acrobat Crash!

Bor Bor Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo-Borf!

Oh, no! That was just something I saw done at the circus and happened to practice...

I guess our strength is equal. In that case...

You're working too much. Get some sleep.

Anya and family saved world peace again!

Borf!

Oh...

A balloon.

Come on. That's not correct.

How many times have I taught you that?

In these cases, the way you solve this is...

Papa, Anya wants to watch her cartoons.

You said you wanted to study, remember?

We're going all-out today.

Go on. Try to solve the next question on your own.

Papa, you're a demon.

Do your best, Miss Anya.

I'm going to do my absolute best today

to make lots of delicious dishes just for you!

Would you like me to make the Hamburg steak you love so much?

I'll even include a bunch of your favorite things as the secret ingredients.

Like chocolate, pudding and peanuts.

But Anya just saved the world...

Now who's gonna save Anya?

Sergei Ostosky.

One of the executives of the Economics Committee who compiles the East's trade policies.

He's a former member of the army commissariat and anti-West to the core.

Because he's illegally restricting strawberry exports to the West,

our country is experiencing a strawberry shortage,

thus causing a recent incident in which Foreign Minister Brantz

was enraged that there were no strawberries on his birthday cake.

At this rate, this might become a diplomatic crisis.

Do something about it.

Understood.

THE INFORMANT AND NIGHTFALL

You're looking for someone who can forge a state seal?

Yes.

If I can get a fake export license, I can handle the rest.

I love you

No one comes to mind...

but I can introduce you to someone who might have a connection.

Are they trustworthy?

Don't worry. He's an asset of mine.

That will be quite helpful. Sorry to bother you while you're busy.

Don't worry about it.

If this will lead to peace between the East and West, it's a part of my mission, as well.

Ah, Dr. Forger. About the conference coming up...

Ah, has the date been decided?

Lo—

Ah, Twilight.

Just how lovely can you be?

I swear for your sake... that I will bring peace between the East and West.

So this is the informant's lair.

Hmph. What a pathetic trap.

What has four feet in the morning, two feet midday, and three feet in the evening?

What has four feet in the morning, two feet midday, and three feet in the evening?

Not bad, missy.

Are you the informant named Franklin?

Oh? Are you a fan of mine? Want an autograph?

Good day, or perhaps, good evening.

I have a job for you.

Aw, so you're just one of his buddies.

I got all worked up for nothing.

Franky Franklin.

You're as ridiculous as your name.

That's just the fake name I use when I run the smoke shop.

I'm pretty good at my job, though.

I'll even give a pretty little lady like you a special discount.

I've clearly chosen the wrong person for the job.

Hey! Wait up! I promise I'll do the job seriously!

Man, all of you chuckleheads lack any humor! Jeez!

The signature I need is not yours. It's a government official's.

So a forged document. Got it.

If you give me the information you need on it,

I'll reach out to someone who'll be able to help.

What kind of document? What's the pay? When do you need it by?

What's your favorite food? Do you like movies?

I won't be handing over any information.

If you can introduce me to this friend of yours, I'll hire them myself.

Jeez, talk about a lack of trust.

I don't have time.

I need to see them immediately.

The foreign minister's son's birthday is in two weeks.

Just do as I say.

If you refuse to help me out, don't forget that you'll end up in jail.

Keh! Your personality sucks, lady.

But either way, you won't be able to see this forger without me.

In the underworld, everything is based on trust.

Come with me.

Lead me to this person yourself.

Aah, you shouldn't be so forceful, ma'am.

There's no way it's happening this suddenly!

It's not like I know his address!

Call him.

That last number was the theme song for Berlint in Love,

called "Hearts of East and West."

Next up, we have our "Let Me Talk About Work" segment.

This one's from a caller named "Scruffy King."

Thanks for always listening to us.

"The other day, I went to Bayan on a work trip.

Just as I ordered some whisky at a bar I went to..."

Is that the place?

Don't complain at me if he doesn't show up.

The State Security Service already knows what he looks like, so he never goes outside.

If he doesn't show up, I'll figure out what to do next then.

Let's go.

Wait, wait!

If someone as conspicuous as you goes in, everyone'll be on their guard.

A lot of this club's patrons are people who work in the shadows.

Then get me a disguise to fit in.

I must make this mission a success for Twilight's sake, no matter what.

In that case...

A-Are you ready, honey?

I know this was my idea, but I'm so nervous!

Is this a date?! Is this actually a date?!

I'm fine, darling.

This sucks, this sucks, this sucks, this sucks, this sucks.

If Twilight sees me like this, it's all over.

By the way, if this plan is just for your own selfish desires,

I will shoot you to death once this mission is over.

It's not!

This club gets a lot of couples!

You're the one who insisted on coming with me, so deal with it a little bit!

Okay?!

Though I can't say it was 0% my own selfish desires.

Anyway, let's go!

Whoa, there. You can't get in here without an invite.

It's me, Bob.

Franky!

I didn't even recognize you since you brought a lady with you!

Don't underestimate me, man!

Ain't she fine?

Heyo.

No way! You got a girlfriend, Franky?!

Yup!

Heyo.

Seriously, bro?! It finally happened?!

Unbelievable!

Your time will come someday, boys.

Keep it up.

Hey.

Hey, Paul!

Look, look! This is my girl—

I have no problem shooting you dead right here and now.

Sorry about that.

I just had the overwhelming urge to show off to everyone.

Oh.

He's here.

The Quill.

It's been a while.

How's business going?

I have a job for you.

Hello?!

Who's this?

You can have the details after you accept the job.

This is the pay. I need it in five days.

Well, that's a ridiculous amount and deadline.

I came by as a favor for a friend, but I guess I wasted my time.

Hey!

Ask someone else.

I'm busy right now with a new client.

Wait, Quill!

Hey, listen.

Not interested until you prepare enough money for me to listen.

That's not what I'm saying.

There are two people following us.

They're likely from the State Security Service.

Are they customers of yours?

Franky, don't tell me you did something to have them track you down.

Don't be stupid!

Like I'd ever mess up like that!

This is bad! What're we gonna do?

Are you sure your new client didn't mess up?

That's gotta be it!

How many times have I told you to be careful who you work with?!

Like you're one to talk!

Damn it! They're not gonna catch me!

No, you idiot!

Get up.

Wow. Not bad, missy!

Are you stupid?

Why'd you bring yourself into this mess?

We were in the same boat as soon as they saw me with you.

However...

If you want to make up for it,

kick your moronic new client to the curb and accept my job offer instead.

Of course, I'll guarantee...

your safety.

Definitely way more trustworthy than some random celeb.

But...

Look out!

How dare you...

No, wait! It's not like I wanted to hug you!

The dude had a gun!

Look here! I'm hurt because the bullet grazed me!

Right here!

Shut up. I know.

Oh. The knife from earlier.

Guess you didn't need my help. D'aww.

For now, let's head west down 13th and find a place to hide.

We can talk after that.

No, wait!

A lot of snitches have shops in that area.

There's a subway passage up ahead that's not in use.

Let's exit south from there.

I guess you actually are useful as an informant.

Don't underestimate me, missy.

I've lived my whole life in this country.

If I felt like it, you guys from the West could never catch me, either.

Then why are you on our side?

You've got the wrong idea.

I'm not on anyone's side.

I just don't like how the East is doing things.

This country's too constrained.

That's why I'm gonna bully them.

I'm going through my rebellious phase, you see.

I get you.

How lame. You're such a small man.

Did I mention your personality absolutely sucks?!

You're not very popular, are you?!

Shut up. I'll kill you.

I'll take one copy of the Daily Ost.

Hello there, grumpy lady.

The thing you asked for arrived.

The Quill finished it up super fast.

Though he billed you for 50% more.

Thanks.

By the way, I was wondering...

Those guys from the State Security Service...

You didn't tip them off on purpose, did you?

I haven't a clue what you're talking about.

Yeesh. You've got a pretty face, but man, you're ruthless.

By the way...

Do you have any acquaintances that can forge antique art?

Any safecrackers?

Huh?

I'll come by with more work eventually.

Oh, hell no! I'm gonna lose all my friends if I hang out with you!

I'm not working with you again!
