this is the Thorn Princess.
00:10
you need to hide your appearance.
00:17
If Twilight, Man With a Thousand Faces,
00:20
sees your face, he will come after you.
00:24
He'll easily infiltrate your daily life.
00:28
Maybe wear the face of someone close to
00:31
Everyone you care about would be in
00:34
Only if he gets [music] away with his
00:43
I've heard intimidating things about
00:49
you, Thorn Princess.
00:50
But I refuse to let this be the end for
00:55
In a few hours, Lloyd Forger has to be
00:58
at the breakfast table with this family.
01:00
He has to greet his daughter when she
01:03
comes back from school. [music]
01:04
He has to ask his wife about her day.
01:06
I need to get [music] back to the life
01:10
For the sake of the mission.
01:14
For the sake of peace.
01:19
For the sake of the nation.
01:23
You will have to die.
01:26
This is bad. I can only catch a glimpse
01:36
of her movement. She's too fast and too
01:38
I'm going to kill you, Twilight.
01:42
Then get back before 5:00 and make
01:45
breakfast for Lloyd and Anya.
01:46
If this goes [music] on, I'm dead.
01:48
The bodies of those who met the Thorn
01:53
[music] Princess were either stabbed
01:54
with high-precision wounds from
01:56
stiletto-like weapons thrown at short to
01:58
Her range is still limited. As long as I
02:01
don't let her step [music] within that
02:03
range, there's still a chance I can tire
02:05
Moving by the stairs.
02:09
>> How was she here? Did she somehow follow
02:19
But I kept the time and address within
02:23
my head. Left no trace in writing or
02:24
Anya, you can't be here. It's dangerous.
02:29
Don't you dare shoot a child, Twilight.
02:37
Taking a child hostage?
02:40
That's low, Thorn Princess.
02:42
This will all be over in a moment.
02:48
He's faster than before.
02:51
So, he moved slower previously just so I
02:53
wouldn't miscalculate his reaction
02:55
I'm just going to [music] talk things
03:19
out with this man, all right?
03:20
close your eyes, please.
03:23
The bullet just grazed me. Don't worry.
03:26
>> It's all right, Anya.
03:29
Just close your eyes.
03:32
I'll have to kill him now. Pierce his
03:35
[music] lungs. Cut his throat. Stab his
03:36
How did you know my name?
04:04
Tell me, Thorn Princess. Twilight.
04:13
What is this sick lie?
04:19
Leave us right now, Anya.
04:29
Just go, Anya. Leave, Anya.
04:34
So, you infiltrated this undercover
04:40
mission of being a family just to get to
04:43
The odds of the woman I asked to play
04:46
the wife of my civilian identity being
04:47
an assassin sent to kill my spy identity
04:49
are too high to be a coincidence, with
04:52
your brother being an SSS agent as well.
04:54
Was being Yor Briar,
04:58
a warm wife and gentle mother,
05:00
was it all just a part you played for
05:02
the sake of a mission assigned to you,
05:04
I don't care what you say.
05:08
You're not getting away. Not when you
05:10
know my real identity.
05:11
Speak all the lies you want, looking and
05:13
That's just another one of your masks,
05:18
isn't it, Twilight?
05:19
do you just so happen to be the assassin
05:22
Thorn Princess, Yor?
05:24
Or was Yor the false face you were
05:26
wearing all along, Thorn Princess?
05:28
Faking your role in this family,
05:31
manipulating a child into thinking you
05:33
were someone she can trust and love,
05:35
while having the intention of a trade
05:37
that trust all along.
05:39
That's unforgivable.
05:41
You are spewing so much irritating
05:43
I'll have the honor of taking your life,
05:46
[music] Twilight. So, shut up and die.
05:48
I'll see your real face, no matter how
05:52
many false faces I need to tear off. I
05:53
won't allow you to say such things in
05:56
front of Anya while wearing Lloyd's
05:58
face. I showed you my face, showed you
06:00
that Twilight is really the man you've
06:03
been calling your husband all this time.
06:05
And yet, you are not only refusing to
06:07
stand down, but you are even more
06:09
resolved to kill me. He may have tricked
06:11
me into some fatigue, making me run
06:12
around touching bullets,
06:15
but I'm still armed while he is not.
06:16
Where to target? Neck, chest, side of
06:19
I can't stab through his face. I need to
06:23
reveal that it's a mask. And in front of
06:25
a child who thinks of me as her father.
06:27
So, this is your true self, then. Look
06:30
at him pretending to be Lloyd. The way
06:32
his eyes glare so coldly.
06:35
How his voice grew sterner.
06:37
It's exactly how Lloyd would look and
06:39
sound if Lloyd ever got that angry.
06:41
You really are so heartless a woman,
06:45
You really are an amazing liar,
06:49
As if our initial meeting in that shop
08:00
could have been that great of a
08:02
coincidence. A beautiful, single woman
08:03
who just so happened to be in need of a
08:06
false husband when I was in need of a
08:07
false [music] wife.
08:09
Your infiltration and lies have been
08:11
convincing indeed, Thorn Princess.
08:12
I'm going to kill you and tear off that
08:16
mask to reveal the impostor underneath,
08:17
Twilight. I won't allow you to let Anya
08:19
think that her own father is fighting
08:22
her mother. I won't allow such a lie to
08:23
pollute this family. How could I have
08:26
been so blind? How shameless do you have
08:28
to be to put on such an act? As if you
08:31
belong to this family. And so careless.
08:33
As to think of someone like you as
08:36
You liar. Impostor.
08:47
All this time, Anya knew everything. And
08:53
the one lying and impostoring has been
08:57
All this time. All this time, Anya knew
09:03
Papa is a spy and Mama is an assassin.
09:07
What are you? Anya.
09:12
Anya can read minds.
09:15
Anya is sorry for lying.
09:20
Please don't be angry.
09:23
Anya won't watch cartoons anymore.
09:29
Anya will study all the time and get
09:32
stellar stars like Papa wants Papa's
09:34
Please don't send Anya back to the
09:44
Or to the place with the people in white
09:48
coats. But, please.
09:50
Papa being a spy, Mama being an assassin
09:54
it's not fun anymore.
09:59
Anya just wants Papa and Mama
10:11
to be Papa and Mama.
10:15
At great risk to herself, Melinda
10:28
Desmond insisted that her husband, the
10:30
chairman of the National Unity Party of
10:32
had suddenly changed [music] in behavior
10:35
sometime between the births of their two
10:37
and could now [music] read minds.
10:40
Pair that with the evidence we have of
10:44
experiments done by the National Unity
10:45
the experiment rooted out by WISE was
10:49
determined to have been started for the
10:50
purpose of creating hyper-intelligent
10:52
animals for military use.
10:54
And when the project shut down, most of
10:57
these subjects ended up on the black
10:59
And along with them,
11:02
what other subjects?
11:04
From what other projects?
11:06
So, a subject from an Ostania experiment
11:09
[music] with telepathic abilities
11:12
brought about our first date because she
11:13
thought having an assassin mom would be
11:16
Anya is so sad. Anya has no Mama.
11:19
And so, we played the part of the family
11:24
without knowing each other's identities
11:26
as spy and assassin. What are you doing?
11:28
she could read your innermost thoughts
11:34
and still love you so much, Twilight
11:37
Doesn't that mean that fundamentally
11:42
Have I been protecting people that have
11:52
been experimenting on children like Anya
11:54
the work they put my entire life to,
12:00
telling me it's for the peace of my
12:03
nation and the safety of its children.
12:04
Has that all been a lie?
12:08
I don't care if they brand me a traitor
12:10
like the people they had me disposing
12:13
I'll find out what's going on.
12:16
If they are still hurting even one child
12:18
I can't believe I was so gullible.
12:22
Oh, Anya. If you were adopted from an
12:29
orphanage for the purpose of playing a
12:31
part in the mission of a Westalian spy
12:34
and if he leaves you once his mission is
12:37
could I please still be your mama?
12:43
Of course you can, mama. What?
12:51
but I couldn't even figure out that the
12:56
organization that trained me might be
12:58
protecting the corrupt or that a
13:00
Westalian spy was using [music] both you
13:02
and me for his mission cover. It went on
13:04
for so long, I didn't even question
13:07
>> I'm just so stupid and worse than
13:11
No, mama is not stupid.
13:16
>> Papa is just a good liar. Uh
13:21
Anya knows that mama works very hard
13:25
fighting the traders and drug dealers
13:28
and bad guys after pretending to go to
13:30
bed. Even that she got shot in the butt
13:32
by a bad guy's bullet that one time.
13:35
Anya knows Papa works very hard, too.
13:40
Papa's always running around to lots of
13:44
places with lots of different faces
13:46
fighting bad guys who wants war while
13:49
pretending he's at the hospital working
13:51
as a spy-chiatrist.
13:53
Anya knows Mama and Papa works super,
13:58
super, super, super, super hard.
14:00
All for world peace.
14:04
Because Papa and Mama were just like
14:06
Papa and Mama also had no Papa and Mama.
14:10
Papa and Mama may both be liars.
14:15
But Papa is also a really great Papa.
14:19
And Mama is also a really great Mama.
14:22
Anya will always want Mama to be Anya's
14:28
>> [crying and laughter]
14:40
The reason why I remained so blind
14:45
against so many obvious signs.
14:47
Why I have been so willfully stubborn on
14:52
not putting two and two together.
14:54
Men used to call her up to their hotel
14:57
Even at the cost of my own declining
15:07
After all, the past Twilight would have
15:12
disengaged while feigning apathy in the
15:14
He would conceal any sign of recognizing
15:18
of brother's identity.
15:21
Knowing the high probability of Thorn
15:23
Princess leaving your Forger daughter
15:25
unharmed for her own infiltration
15:27
Then, after a calculated period of
15:31
de-escalation aimed at triggering a
15:33
lapse in the target's vigilance, Loid
15:35
Forger could have eliminated your Forger
15:38
in her own home while telling his
15:40
daughter that your Forger had received
15:42
urgent news and had go away for the sake
15:44
of her job or brother.
15:47
Allowing Operation Strix resume
15:49
with its core mission intact.
15:51
In the past, Twilight wouldn't have
15:54
revealed his civilian identity [music]
15:55
just for the sake of answers.
15:57
He would have cut losses, no answers
16:00
needed, if it came at the risk of the
16:02
enemy being alerted.
16:04
But, just at the thought of everything
16:06
When did it start exactly, Twilight?
16:18
Sleep, little [singing] one, 'neath the
16:22
moon's silver shine.
16:26
I told myself that my real self was the
16:40
spy wearing the false mask of Loid
16:42
Forger. But, I see now.
16:44
it had long since become the opposite,
16:52
Twilight had become the false mask.
16:55
Loid Forger, the real self.
17:00
And the one I was trying the hardest to
17:04
fool into thinking otherwise was myself.
17:05
And this is the grave you dug and
17:12
insisted on being buried [music]
17:13
All the while being bewildered at how
17:20
poor your instincts had become.
17:22
How much your performance degraded.
17:25
How badly you have fallen.
17:38
Sleep little [singing]
17:53
one 'neath the moon silver shine. Oh,
17:55
sweet prince of mine, to sleep.
18:00
The garden is quiet, drift off to sleep.
18:06
Oh, sweet prince of mine, good night.
18:12
I don't [singing] know the rest, but
18:18
I'll just make something up.
18:21
We don't know what's next, so we'll just
18:32
