1
00:00:09,575 --> 00:00:10,407
Counting down

2
00:00:11,053 --> 00:00:13,869
Three, two, one

3
00:00:14,192 --> 00:00:15,438
Are you ready?

4
00:00:18,625 --> 00:00:19,346
Ready!

5
00:01:01,859 --> 00:01:05,123
In the past, when people sought knowledge

6
00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:08,203
They turned to the Tree of Wisdom

7
00:01:14,729 --> 00:01:18,625
Today, we use it to save Sumeru

8
00:01:19,275 --> 00:01:20,555
And the whole world

9
00:01:23,065 --> 00:01:25,380
These boughs that nurtured learning

10
00:01:26,533 --> 00:01:29,621
Must not become tools for destroying the world

11
00:01:49,852 --> 00:01:50,669
Stop...

12
00:01:51,950 --> 00:01:55,277
Please, stop... End this transformation...

13
00:02:15,235 --> 00:02:18,899
You would shut down Irminsul just to stop me?

14
00:02:19,645 --> 00:02:20,870
You fools

15
00:02:21,457 --> 00:02:25,227
I have all the time in the world...

1
00:00:23,506 --> 00:00:26,375
Does the prospect of death amuse you?

2
00:00:27,151 --> 00:00:29,111
I could ask you the same question

3
00:00:31,774 --> 00:00:33,056
I'll distract Dottore

4
00:00:33,872 --> 00:00:35,016
You focus on the mission

5
00:00:35,439 --> 00:00:35,921
Got it

6
00:00:46,621 --> 00:00:49,122
For the hopes and dreams of the masses

7
00:00:51,169 --> 00:00:54,415
Open the secret door on this enchanting night

8
00:00:56,708 --> 00:01:00,480
May wisdom's light eradicate ignorance and darkness

9
00:01:00,943 --> 00:01:03,924
And hereby fulfill our ancient vow

10
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,854
Commence data extraction

11
00:01:28,538 --> 00:01:29,144
Ugh...!

12
00:01:42,474 --> 00:01:47,014
You cling to outdated ideals and stand in the way of progress...

13
00:01:50,625 --> 00:01:55,688
You will pay for interfering with the grandest experiment of all time!

14
00:02:11,774 --> 00:02:12,641
Good timing

15
00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:14,049
Dottore

16
00:02:14,561 --> 00:02:18,056
As clever as you are, you fail to understand wisdom

17
00:02:18,716 --> 00:02:23,831
Wisdom takes many forms, but the path you have chosen eschews them all

18
00:02:42,039 --> 00:02:42,926
...Hmph

1
00:00:01,275 --> 00:00:02,425
That's enough!

2
00:00:22,350 --> 00:00:23,375
It's all yours

3
00:00:24,475 --> 00:00:26,446
Do with it as you see fit

4
00:00:32,550 --> 00:00:33,850
Just as you say

5
00:00:34,475 --> 00:00:37,150
This world is home to some archaic things

6
00:00:38,650 --> 00:00:39,925
And as you suppose

7
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,925
You are a formidable opponent

8
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,323
You have long coveted the secrets of wisdom...

9
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,200
So now, I will demonstrate true wisdom in action

10
00:00:54,150 --> 00:00:58,239
I invoke my supreme authority as the keeper of Irminsul

11
00:00:58,725 --> 00:01:00,450
Commend me or condemn me

12
00:01:00,975 --> 00:01:03,050
But give your verdict now!

1
00:00:15,725 --> 00:00:17,000
The first flame...

2
00:00:17,580 --> 00:00:19,575
The pure, cleansing fire

1
00:00:07,756 --> 00:00:08,563
Shall we?

2
00:00:10,495 --> 00:00:11,897
Where were we?

3
00:00:12,072 --> 00:00:16,365
I was suggesting that you needn't perform when signing a contract

4
00:00:17,148 --> 00:00:21,780
You're only sitting here because your bank demanded an evaluation of the trustee

5
00:00:23,498 --> 00:00:28,388
So you told a story about a young scholar from a merchant family in Sumeru?

6
00:00:29,998 --> 00:00:33,686
I told a compelling tale, didn't I?

7
00:00:33,910 --> 00:00:36,887
The post-expulsion story is far more captivating

8
00:00:38,457 --> 00:00:41,665
The human experiments? Or the Elixir of Immortality?

9
00:00:42,266 --> 00:00:43,997
The part where you die

10
00:00:46,051 --> 00:00:50,362
Ah yes. My favorite part...

11
00:00:53,373 --> 00:00:56,974
The 35-year-old Segment thought of himself as "Dottore"

12
00:00:57,775 --> 00:01:00,797
Reserving the name "Zandik" for the original specimen

13
00:01:01,148 --> 00:01:04,506
Of all the Segments, he was the most selfish

14
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,591
After his expulsion, Dottore searched for a new direction

15
00:01:09,475 --> 00:01:14,964
He joined the Fatui, studied Eleazar in great depth, secured resources...

16
00:01:16,095 --> 00:01:18,622
He was rather fortunate in his career

17
00:01:19,390 --> 00:01:24,165
Zandik turned to Khaenri'ahn technology and successfully created his Segments

18
00:01:24,613 --> 00:01:31,032
But this was not immortality. Even with backup Segments, his body would still age

19
00:01:31,032 --> 00:01:36,888
Still, thanks to Snezhnaya, Zandik found the ideal base for his experiments

20
00:01:37,628 --> 00:01:41,875
Then, a perfect partnership materialized at a crucial moment

21
00:01:42,718 --> 00:01:46,927
The year that both parties realized they needed more time

22
00:01:48,205 --> 00:01:50,853
Fortunately, Zandik succeeded

23
00:01:51,487 --> 00:01:56,757
In a miraculous turn of events, he gained the extra time he needed...

24
00:01:56,886 --> 00:01:58,701
I seem to recall it differently...

25
00:01:58,701 --> 00:02:06,046
Alright, it's true. No matter how much elixir he took, Zandik remained human and continued to age

26
00:02:06,306 --> 00:02:09,542
Then, on the morning he turned eighty-five...

27
00:02:09,542 --> 00:02:10,357
Argh!

28
00:02:11,875 --> 00:02:18,169
Help me... up... C—Call for help...

29
00:02:19,117 --> 00:02:21,939
Surely, he would be rescued, Zandik thought

30
00:02:22,364 --> 00:02:24,760
But to his surprise, no one helped him

31
00:02:25,185 --> 00:02:27,580
Zandik was too selfish for that

32
00:02:28,630 --> 00:02:32,700
Don't forget, you're one of... us...

33
00:02:33,996 --> 00:02:36,884
Yes, and we're all waiting

34
00:02:37,265 --> 00:02:41,110
Hah... Waiting for me to die?

35
00:02:44,348 --> 00:02:49,991
Pantalone arrived for a meeting, and happened to witness what followed. He found it unsettling

36
00:02:50,486 --> 00:02:51,377
I never said that...

37
00:02:51,377 --> 00:02:56,750
But the Zandiks were unfazed. It was a rare opportunity for self-dissection

38
00:03:03,145 --> 00:03:07,732
What does all that have to do with you depositing your data at Northland Bank?

39
00:03:08,307 --> 00:03:12,046
It has made me cherish my time in this world all the more

40
00:03:14,923 --> 00:03:18,903
Fair enough. So you do have a sense of self-preservation

41
00:03:29,809 --> 00:03:30,880
What do you mean?

42
00:03:32,689 --> 00:03:36,637
You're hardly normal, and you don't cherish life

43
00:03:37,465 --> 00:03:40,824
You just don't want to admit defeat in the limited time you have

44
00:03:42,165 --> 00:03:46,205
Even so, don't I deserve an interesting ending?

45
00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:50,964
Hehe, I'm counting on it...

46
00:04:05,180 --> 00:04:11,705
If nothing else, I expect my funeral will be a grand affair indeed
