A NETFLIX ORIGINAL ANIME SERIES
RE-ENCOUNTER VI
There it is!
Let's go. Don't let it get away.
Watch out.
Stay alert. If it comes out, shoot.
What are you doing there?
Are you okay?
Can't you see he's just a beggar?
He's probably drunk, too.
Let's not waste any more time.
Here, put this on.
Head to the inn in town.
It's very cold out here.
Besides…
It's dangerous.
We're after a very aggressive wild animal.
TWO YEARS LATER
Excuse me.
I'm looking for information
about something that happened in this town.
Yes, it's that story about the monster.
I wasn't living here then. I just know what I've been told.
Oh my God!
BEAST OR ANIMAL?
Watch where you're going, boy.
I'm so sorry.
Do you really believe in all this stuff?
Well…
You're not the first one to inquire about that mysterious beast.
It's all just sensationalist nonsense, you know?
So, nothing happened here? There was no attack?
Of course there was.
But we combed the forest and couldn't find the alleged monster.
It was probably just a lost wolf that returned to the mountains.
I see.
Just one more thing.
Have you seen this guy?
His name is Alsan. He disappeared two years ago.
I've been looking for him ever since.
I don't think so. I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Thanks again.
-Have you been to all those places? -No.
Not all of them. Not yet.
But what is it you're looking for?
A monster or a guy?
To tell you the truth…
I'm not sure.
Morning, Víctor. How's everything?
I just spoke to a kid who's in town asking about you.
I hope you didn't tell him anything.
You said you wanted to disappear, to forget your past.
And I respect that,
but if you change your mind, he's right there.
Don't leave so soon, Jack.
I didn't teach you to give up so quickly, did I?
Alsan!
Hey, kid! Are you getting in or not?
No.
I'm not, thank you.
I've been looking for you for so long.
It's been almost two years.
Why did you leave us behind?
I'm so sorry, Jack.
I didn't want to put you in any danger.
I was completely out of control--
It's okay, kid. It's over.
I'm here now.
And I'm not leaving again.
I promise.
You've really changed,
but at least you don't look like that beast I rescued in Germany.
I'm glad you think so.
I, however, don't feel worthy of being Alsan, Prince of Vanissar.
That's why…
everyone knows me as Alexander.
Alexander.
Alright, I'll try to remember that.
When I saved you from Kirtash, you were just a scared kid.
But now…
you've grown into a man.
I'm proud of you.
Why didn't you trust me?
Because this was a battle I had to fight on my own.
I've learned many things:
discipline, self-control…
and I've found the inner peace I needed to keep the beast at bay.
So you've succeeded.
Not quite.
I'll never be the same,
but now at least I look human most of the time.
I didn't expect you to find me.
It's clearly a sign.
A sign? Of what?
The time has come to get the Resistance back together.
Do you mean that, Alsan?
I mean… Alexander?
I most definitely do.
Grab your things. We're going to Madrid.
Alright.
Come on.
Hi, Victoria.
Jack!
It's good to see you.
It's good to see you too, Jack.
You look so different.
Your hair is shorter than it was before.
It suits you.
You look different too.
You've grown and you're much more handso--
And your hair is much longer.
So your hair's shorter and mine's longer.
A brilliant conclusion.
Listen.
I know I'm an idiot and I don't deserve you to listen, but…
Please, take me to Limbhad.
But why? Have you nowhere to go?
Honestly, I never have.
I didn't want to return to Denmark and…
endanger what's left of my family.
It's a long story.
You'll have to tell me all about it in Limbhad.
Lights, please.
It's not very cozy right now. I don't come here often anymore.
It's okay.
I'm here now. That's what matters.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I abandoned you.
And I'm sorry for everything I said before I left, Victoria.
I'm sorry too.
When I told you not to come back, I didn't mean it.
Shall we make peace?
I've arranged to meet with Alsan, so you can bring him here.
We went to Madrid together, but he had things to do.
What? You found Alsan?
Yes! But now he goes by Alexander.
He says he's ready to fight again. That's why we came back.
So that's why.
What do you mean?
You didn't come back because you wanted to,
but because he told you to.
But I don't… Victoria--
And you'll leave again when he does, just like last time.
Because you'll always go wherever he goes, right?
Wait. There's more you need to know.
I was wrong.
I do need you, Victoria.
Do you want me to leave again?
No.
I don't want you to go, Jack.
And I didn't mean it either. I do need you.
You were my best friend.
I'd like to be your best friend again.
If you'd like.
So…
Alsan… No, I mean… Alexander is feeling better?
He is,
and he has many plans for the Resistance.
But I guess you don't want to fight again, right?
Are you sure, Victoria?
What are you waiting for?
That's a funny technique, using your feet.
Yes, it's called tae kwon do.
I'm also taking kendo lessons so I can use the Staff as a weapon.
I'm glad that you've been training.
You're much stronger and quicker.
Shail can't help me improve my magic anymore.
I need another way to defend myself.
Have you seen Kirtash?
No, I never saw him again.
That's probably a good sign, but we shouldn't lower our guard.
It's time for us to strike first.
I've been wondering for some time what we're doing wrong.
Unicorns are elusive by nature,
but we should at least have found the dragon.
I believe they are also in hiding.
From Kirtash?
Exactly.
If we kill him,
the dragon and unicorn will manifest sooner or later.
Then the prophecy can be fulfilled.
We'll go from defensive to offensive.
And I like that.
But how? It's hard to catch him off guard.
He's always been one step ahead.
I found him through the Soul.
How did you manage that?
When I tried, it almost killed me.
Exercising extreme caution.
And keeping my distance.
As you should have.
Kirtash is still tracking down exiled Idhunese
and hunting them down one by one.
The only difference now is he's working alone.
He's adapted well to life on Earth.
He lives under a different name in a big city in the States.
Okay, so what's your plan?
This time, we'll be one step ahead.
I know he'll be in Seattle tonight.
And I know where to find him.
I want you to be ready.
Come in.
It was Shail's.
He marked places linked to legends about unicorns.
I've continued doing it, but no one's seen a unicorn for centuries.
You've been researching on your own?
What if you saw Kirtash?
You're still mad about what happened with Shail, right?
But you shouldn't face Kirtash alone.
Victoria, we must all fight together.
Look who's talking!
Why do you think I had to do it on my own?
Fine. Forget I said anything.
What's this music?
Right, it's called "Beyond."
It's an album by Chris Tara.
Don't you know him?
Nope, doesn't ring a bell.
In fact, it gives me the creeps.
I like it.
Yeah, his music is somewhat strange, but he's got many fans.
Probably because he's hot.
Let me see him.
Yuck.
I don't know or care what he looks like.
I like his music, not him.
Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you.
I always say the wrong thing to you, for some reason.
It's alright.
Let's go, Alexander's waiting.
Are you ready?
Chris Tara!
I'm shocked they let us in with magical weapons.
Magic camouflage conceals them.
People will look at us and see three kids at a concert.
I just got the snake tattoo on my neck.
Is this really a mission?
You haven't brought me here as a surprise?
Focus, Victoria.
We're here to hunt down Kirtash.
Jack, is everything okay?
Yes.
It's just, there are snakes everywhere.
I hate them.
It's about to begin. Stay alert.
Come with me
How do you know Kirtash will show?
It's scheduled.
Under his other name, of course.
His other name?
Is that… Chris Tara?
Your favorite singer is Kirtash?
I didn't know it was him! He never gives any interviews!
This is his first concert!
I can't believe this.
Now I get why I didn't like his music.
Listen, he's distracted. Now's the time to get him.
What? In front of all these people?
If we wait until it's over, we won't catch him by surprise.
This isn't a good angle.
We need to move closer.
Victoria, don't let him out of your sight.
Jack and I will look for a better spot so you can attack with assurance.
I've always felt that this song was meant for me.
As if he knew what's in the depths of my soul.
It has to be the music.
It must be hypnotic somehow.
I won't be fooled again.
Victoria! What happened?
We need to go. The guards will be here soon.
You missed on purpose, didn't you?
Why?
Because it didn't feel right.
Killing a murderer isn't right?
I assure you I want him gone too, but not like this.
You've always said killing from a distance is for cowards.
That's why you hate guns.
I do, but someone like Kirtash doesn't deserve such consideration.
If there's still a shred of that noble knight inside you,
who spoke of honor and justice,
you'll know why I did it.
I understand perfectly and respect that, Victoria.
But then why did you attack?
To issue a challenge, perhaps?
But our plan was--
Your plan was to kill me.
We could have done that at the concert.
I've been careless, but it won't happen again.
Will you fight us?
Tell me, Jack.
How shall we fight this time around?
One on one, or one against three?
Alexander!
Where… ?
There he is!
Alexander, are you okay?
Don't worry.
It doesn't look serious.
Go after Victoria.
-It's a trap. -Victoria!
Have you thought about my offer, Victoria?
I held out my hand to you.
And the offer still stands.
I don't care for your offers.
Face me and fight once and for all.
As you wish.
It's a pity things have to be this way. The hard way.
