**[00:13] ---**
I know this cold voice
**[00:17] ---**
Taking my friend
**[00:22] ---**
Maybe a little afraid you'll run away
**[00:26] ---**
But right now...
**[00:30] ---**
For this moment in time, I want to hold you tight
**[00:35] ---**
By your side, I'm dreaming of the days
**[00:39] ---**
When I finally look up at the promised sky
**[00:44] ---**
I'll take off and break all the way
**[00:49] ---**
For this moment in time, I just wanna be with you
**[00:53] ---**
By your side, I'm dreaming of the days
**[00:58] ---**
When I finally look up at the promised sky
**[01:02] ---**
I know I can change all the way
**[01:07] ---**
For the moment...
**[01:11] ---**
I just wanna hold you...
**[01:30] ---**
"Cross Days"
**[01:38] ---**
1955
**[01:39] ---**
1955, New York City
**[01:53] ---**
Welcome, Your Highness.
**[01:55] ---**
May I present the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Raginei...
**[01:57] ---**
His Highness Machaty Sheik Di Raginei!
**[02:04] ---**
These people have no manners.
**[02:08] ---**
Your Highness!
**[02:09] ---**
There's no use trying to explain the teachings of the Lord Ragi to these heathens.
**[02:13] ---**
I'm going to my room.
**[02:16] ---**
Di--did I offend him?
**[02:19] ---**
The religion of Ragi is one of sun worship.
**[02:22] ---**
The head, the closest part of you to the sun, is considered sacred.
**[02:26] ---**
In front of His Highness, consider wearing a hat.
**[02:31] ---**
Four whole days in this vulgar country!
**[02:34] ---**
Even though a month from now I have to take the throne!
**[02:38] ---**
With the Global Economic Summit four days away,
**[02:41] ---**
delegates from many of the world's nations are arriving in America.
**[02:45] ---**
The United Kingdom proposed this summit in response to predictions...
**[02:48] ---**
of a resource decline accompanying rapid economic growth.
**[02:51] ---**
In particular, oil...
**[02:52] ---**
Vultures gathering to feed...
**[02:55] ---**
It's a summit in name only.
**[02:57] ---**
The real reason they've come...
**[02:59] ---**
is to covet my country's oil, and wave around their own privileges.
**[03:02] ---**
That's exactly why...
**[03:03] ---**
it is necessary for Your Highness to attend in person.
**[03:21] ---**
Even though it's nighttime...
**[03:23] ---**
everything is bathed in light.
**[03:26] ---**
To make Raginei a wealthy nation like this... I hope I can do it.
**[03:30] ---**
No... I have to do it.
**[03:34] ---**
And then... I'll drive the white men off of the soil of Ragi!
**[03:38] ---**
I won't let the world powers...
**[03:40] ---**
have their way with my country!
**[03:44] ---**
His Highness is in a bad temper?
**[03:46] ---**
I'm afraid so.
**[03:47] ---**
Well, His Highness is fifteen years old...
**[03:50] ---**
he's still very young.
**[03:52] ---**
At a difficult time like this...
**[03:54] ---**
His Majesty the King's illness is truly painful...
**[04:03] ---**
Compliments of the British Consul.
**[04:09] ---**
Villain!
**[04:13] ---**
Flee, Your Highness!
**[04:19] ---**
Crown Prince, prepare yourself!
**[04:29] ---**
Not with a gun!
**[04:46] ---**
The collection truck is here already.
**[04:48] ---**
We'd better hurry.
**[05:04] ---**
He's nowhere to be found!
**[05:06] ---**
Call the manager immediately, and contact the police!
**[05:09] ---**
But in the meantime, His Highness could be--!
**[05:11] ---**
Proceed in secret, with all possible speed!
**[05:14] ---**
If something were to happen to His Highness now...
**[05:16] ---**
the royal family would cease to exist!
**[05:26] ---**
It stopped...
**[05:43] ---**
Where in the world is the hotel?
**[06:03] ---**
Day after day I sing in a noisy bar...
**[06:08] ---**
it's enough to live on, but...
**[06:10] ---**
it feels empty, somehow.
**[06:22] ---**
Don't startle me like that!
**[06:25] ---**
I get it, you're here for tonight's "hat party," right?
**[06:32] ---**
But that's a whole costume!
**[06:35] ---**
What country's native dress is that supposed to be?
**[06:36] ---**
It's the informal attire of the royal family of Raginei.
**[06:39] ---**
Come on in.
**[06:40] ---**
You're so young, they'll never let you in the door...
**[06:43] ---**
but I'll sneak you in the back way.
**[06:46] ---**
Insolent wretch! Don't touch me!
**[06:49] ---**
You're even in character!
**[06:51] ---**
I'm Kathleen. Pleased to meetcha.
**[07:08] ---**
...it really is...
**[07:09] ---**
Fred!
**[07:10] ---**
Kathleen!
**[07:13] ---**
I want to introduce you to someone.
**[07:14] ---**
Gee, that's some flashy guest you've got there.
**[07:17] ---**
From that country--whatchamacallit...
**[07:19] ---**
It's "Raginei."
**[07:20] ---**
Right, he's here as a Prince of Rabbity.
**[07:25] ---**
Fred is a newspaper reporter.
**[07:27] ---**
That's just temporary...
**[07:29] ---**
pretty soon I'll be a novelist.
**[07:31] ---**
Nice to meet you. I'm Fredrick Burnsworth.
**[07:36] ---**
Who gave you permission to touch me?
**[07:39] ---**
Perhaps you wish to die for your insolence!
**[07:41] ---**
Is he a funny kid or what?
**[07:44] ---**
St--stop that.
**[07:46] ---**
He's so cute!
**[07:51] ---**
Would you care for something to drink?
**[08:02] ---**
Oh, no... the kid drank champagne...
**[08:05] ---**
What is this stuff?
**[08:07] ---**
It's water that sends you to paradise...
**[08:09] ---**
the Water of God.
**[08:11] ---**
It's not for kids to drink.
**[08:14] ---**
I can't understand it...
**[08:16] ---**
My religious studies instructors never mentioned anything like this...
**[08:21] ---**
Hey, I told you, cut it out!
**[08:22] ---**
I told you not to touch me!
**[08:25] ---**
People who can't stand to be touched don't get any.
**[08:30] ---**
Fine. I'll allow it.
**[08:35] ---**
On this day, now and from this moment on...
**[08:37] ---**
I shall appoint thee to the rank of Royal Handmaiden.
**[08:40] ---**
Kneel.
**[08:45] ---**
As master...
**[08:47] ---**
representative of the Lord Ragi...
**[08:48] ---**
and ruler of Raginei, in the name of First Prince Machaty Sheik...
**[08:52] ---**
we grant to Kathleen the rank of Royal Handmaiden.
**[08:56] ---**
Wilt thou dedicate thy life unto the royal family?
**[09:00] ---**
O--okay... I guess...
**[09:03] ---**
Good!
**[09:04] ---**
Now hurry, hand over the Water of God!
**[09:07] ---**
Hey, no way.
**[09:09] ---**
Please stop it!
**[09:11] ---**
C'mere and give the Boss a little "service," you.
**[09:14] ---**
I'm begging you, please let me go!
**[09:17] ---**
Gaglione Family hoodlums!
**[09:22] ---**
Hey... get a little closer, now.
**[09:28] ---**
Frank, stop screwing around.
**[09:31] ---**
This girl only just got here.
**[09:34] ---**
You've got some spirit, Kathleen...
**[09:40] ---**
You're gonna spend some time with me.
**[09:42] ---**
You haven't picked tonight's customer, have you?
**[09:47] ---**
Get the hell out and never come back!
**[09:51] ---**
You'd better learn your place!
**[09:53] ---**
Or what?
**[09:53] ---**
Come, now, this is childish, Frank...
**[09:57] ---**
Shut up! Stay out of this!
**[10:00] ---**
Fred!
**[10:01] ---**
See, you'd better do as I say...
**[10:04] ---**
like go out with me tonight.
**[10:10] ---**
That woman is my handmaiden.
**[10:12] ---**
You may not harm her!
**[10:16] ---**
Y--you little--!
**[10:31] ---**
Depart!
**[10:33] ---**
I'll remember this!
**[10:36] ---**
The Water of God!
**[10:37] ---**
--The Water of God!
--Ack, give it up!
**[10:52] ---**
He went right to sleep.
**[10:55] ---**
It's hard to believe the fight from earlier really happened.
**[10:57] ---**
Those guys are going to go looking for revenge.
**[10:59] ---**
You'd better hide out here for a little while, too.
**[11:05] ---**
This cloth! It's top-quality silk!
**[11:08] ---**
Maybe he's really the son of some wealthy tycoon...
**[11:12] ---**
Oh!
**[11:13] ---**
This stuff is gold thread!
**[11:15] ---**
Amazing!
**[11:17] ---**
This is some craftsmanship.
**[11:19] ---**
It's obvious even to the untrained eye.
**[11:31] ---**
You're in charge of covering the Global Economic Summit...
**[11:33] ---**
Eh?
**[11:34] ---**
The Kingdom of Raginei is supposed to participate, right?
**[11:38] ---**
Oh, yes! The present King is ill...
**[11:41] ---**
so the Crown Prince is here instead.
**[11:44] ---**
Prince Machaty?
**[11:45] ---**
Wow, you know your stuff...
**[11:47] ---**
Do you have a picture?
**[11:57] ---**
Find that cloth!
**[11:59] ---**
Where'd you go, Fred?
**[12:02] ---**
Kathleen! You--
**[12:04] ---**
you slept in the same bed with him?
**[12:06] ---**
But your sofa's so uncomfortable...
**[12:10] ---**
He's the real thing!
**[12:12] ---**
First Prince Machaty of the Kingdom of Raginei!
**[12:18] ---**
That woke you up!
**[12:19] ---**
They say that in the Kingdom of Raginei...
**[12:21] ---**
if you willfully remove that headcloth...
**[12:23] ---**
they'll behead you for the insult!
**[12:28] ---**
Where is that cloth?
**[12:29] ---**
Eek! That's my skirt!
**[12:32] ---**
Found it! Here it is!
**[12:34] ---**
F-- Fred...
**[12:36] ---**
He's opening his eyes!
**[12:47] ---**
Your Highness the Crown Prince Machaty Sheik Di Raginei!
**[12:52] ---**
Did I...
**[12:53] ---**
grant you the honor of speaking my name?
**[13:04] ---**
Would you be Master Burnsworth?
**[13:07] ---**
I received your message, I'm a subject of Raginei.
**[13:13] ---**
Let him in.
**[13:14] ---**
Your Highness!
**[13:18] ---**
I'm so grateful you're safe!
**[13:20] ---**
It took you long enough, Jabir.
**[13:23] ---**
It's like watching some movie...
**[13:26] ---**
I can't tell you how sorry we are about all this...
**[13:29] ---**
Would you mind telling us what's going on?
**[13:32] ---**
The truth is... there were assassins after His Highness.
**[13:36] ---**
The plot was instigated by Great Britain, and carried out by heretics from Raginei.
**[13:40] ---**
Your Highness!
**[13:42] ---**
If only there were no King...
**[13:44] ---**
then neither would there be unity among the believers.
**[13:47] ---**
And Great Britain, without dirtying its hands...
**[13:49] ---**
could have all the oil rights to themselves.
**[13:52] ---**
Those people think only of what they can steal...
**[13:54] ---**
this plot looks like their work.
**[13:56] ---**
It can't be...
**[13:58] ---**
It can... the Kingdom of Raginei may be an autonomous territory of Great Britain...
**[14:02] ---**
but political power rests with the throne.
**[14:04] ---**
Taking the royal family out of the picture...
**[14:06] ---**
putting in a government you can freely manipulate...
**[14:09] ---**
that could be exactly what they're thinking.
**[14:12] ---**
As it stands, of course, let's go back to our country.
**[14:15] ---**
Nothing is worth Your Highness' life.
**[14:18] ---**
You're telling *me*...
**[14:19] ---**
to run?
**[14:21] ---**
The dignity of my country demands that I attend the summit!
**[14:26] ---**
Well then, how about you stay hidden away like this...
**[14:29] ---**
and only appear for the summit?
**[14:32] ---**
Perfect!
**[14:33] ---**
Security at the assembly hall will be tight, won't it?
**[14:36] ---**
Assassination would be out of the question, right?
**[14:39] ---**
That's a good idea!
**[14:40] ---**
It is?
**[14:42] ---**
Mr. Burnsworth!
**[14:43] ---**
Thank you so much for your generous proposal!
**[14:46] ---**
Well... that's not exactly what I meant...
**[14:48] ---**
right, Kathleen?
**[14:50] ---**
Ah--oh, yes.
**[14:52] ---**
Madame Kathleen.
**[14:53] ---**
You received the rank of Royal Handmaiden.
**[14:57] ---**
Even among the high-born women of Raginei...
**[14:59] ---**
not a single one has managed that.
**[15:02] ---**
So please serve His Highness without reservation!
**[15:04] ---**
So why me, then!?
**[15:07] ---**
It's settled, then.
**[15:09] ---**
Kathleen, show me to my room.
**[15:12] ---**
This is a shed, right?
**[15:14] ---**
Well, excuse me and my shed here...
**[15:16] ---**
As long as you're at it...
**[15:17] ---**
my house looks just like it.
**[15:20] ---**
And here I'd heard America was a wealthy country...
**[15:23] ---**
Oh! I get it.
**[15:25] ---**
This must be the slums.
**[15:28] ---**
Kathleen!
**[15:30] ---**
Your Highness, that way...
**[15:35] ---**
What was she so angry about?
**[15:37] ---**
I have no idea...
**[15:40] ---**
This is why I hate women.
**[15:42] ---**
Your Highness...
**[15:43] ---**
Hating women could be problematic...
**[15:46] ---**
Having children will be my duty as King.
**[15:49] ---**
I will marry.
**[15:51] ---**
But I'll still hate women.
**[15:54] ---**
So it's okay for him to act that way because he's a prince?
**[15:57] ---**
I'm here to apologize in his place.
**[16:00] ---**
In all his life, His Highness...
**[16:02] ---**
has never been allowed to take a single step outside the Royal Palace.
**[16:06] ---**
It's the law for royalty...
**[16:08] ---**
the future King must be kept away from all danger.
**[16:13] ---**
Really...
**[16:14] ---**
But... his wedding is one month from now.
**[16:17] ---**
I must keep trying to teach His Highness, little by little...
**[16:21] ---**
Wedding...
**[16:27] ---**
Getting married while you still don't know anything about the world...
**[16:30] ---**
You can't help feeling sorry for him...
**[16:33] ---**
Kathleen!
**[16:35] ---**
What do you think?
**[16:37] ---**
Oh, my gosh, he's adorable!
**[16:41] ---**
The custom in Raginei says...
**[16:43] ---**
it's better if your head isn't showing, right?
**[16:45] ---**
Jabir! When did you turn into the white people's little pet dog?
**[16:49] ---**
Your Highness! It wasn't like that at all...
**[16:52] ---**
There was no choice!
**[16:54] ---**
Jabir couldn't walk around looking so conspicuous.
**[16:57] ---**
He didn't want to cut his hair, but he did it, for your sake!
**[17:00] ---**
Shut up!
**[17:03] ---**
Something smells bad.
**[17:09] ---**
Stay out, all of you!
**[17:13] ---**
What in the heck are you sulking about?
**[17:14] ---**
I'm not bringing your dinner in there!
**[17:17] ---**
This is supposed to be a free country.
**[17:19] ---**
That being the case...
**[17:20] ---**
I ought to have the right not to eat bad-tasting food.
**[17:26] ---**
His attitude was haughty, with a universal disdain for his fellow man...
**[17:30] ---**
his arrogance let him abuse the goodwill of others without a second thought...
**[17:34] ---**
he had been waited on every moment of his life...
**[17:39] ---**
and yet for all that, Machaty was fascinating in the extreme...
**[17:42] ---**
and he overflowed with charm.
**[17:59] ---**
Kajika!
**[18:01] ---**
Fred!
**[18:04] ---**
Welcome to our home.
**[18:06] ---**
I finally got to invite you...
**[18:09] ---**
Let me take a good look at that face...
**[18:12] ---**
The resemblance is so strong now... it's almost like magic.
**[18:16] ---**
Who is it I resemble? Kathleen?
**[18:20] ---**
Ah... yes, indeed.
**[18:23] ---**
Hm?
**[18:25] ---**
This is Toranosuke Haga...
**[18:27] ---**
my bodyguard.
**[18:29] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[18:30] ---**
The gentleman on his left is Lee-Leng, the one I always talk about.
**[18:34] ---**
It's an honor to meet you at last...
**[18:35] ---**
Mr. Burnsworth.
**[18:37] ---**
Call me Fred.
**[18:40] ---**
Wow... it looks just like the pictures!
**[18:44] ---**
Except covered in dust.
**[18:47] ---**
It's been three years since Kathleen passed away...
**[18:49] ---**
Aren't you lonely?
**[18:51] ---**
Harry invited me to come live together...
**[18:54] ---**
but I have no desire to leave here.
**[18:59] ---**
Is this Miss Kajika's grandmother?
**[19:02] ---**
She really has that All-American Beauty thing...
**[19:05] ---**
Chairman Harry, though...
**[19:07] ---**
he looks sort of Asian on first glance.
**[19:09] ---**
Toranosuke.
**[19:11] ---**
I don't approve of this intrusiveness.
**[19:14] ---**
Ah--... I'm sorry...
**[19:16] ---**
It happens a lot in America...
**[19:19] ---**
since so many people are multiracial.
**[19:25] ---**
I'm sorry for what I said earlier.
**[19:29] ---**
It's considered taboo to touch on Harry's birth.
**[19:34] ---**
Whether he's really adopted...
**[19:36] ---**
or the product of a previous marriage...
**[19:39] ---**
Since Kathleen died...
**[19:41] ---**
Fred now insists he is his own child.
**[19:44] ---**
Either way, the truth is shrouded in darkness...
**[19:53] ---**
--Did I wake you?
--Kajika?
**[19:55] ---**
Well, you see... my room is incredibly cute!
**[19:58] ---**
They said Kathleen got it ready especially for me.
**[20:01] ---**
Come see!
**[20:02] ---**
It's late... I'll come tomorrow morning.
**[20:05] ---**
You could come for a second...
**[20:08] ---**
Kajika...
**[20:09] ---**
how old are you again?
**[20:14] ---**
What's wrong with him? He's so stingy! Why is he so mean to me!
**[20:17] ---**
Stubborn jerk! Rotten to the core!
**[20:23] ---**
Who's rotten to the core?
**[20:26] ---**
Lee-Leng...
**[20:28] ---**
I can see now how long Fred Burnsworth and his wife...
**[20:31] ---**
were waiting for you, Kajika.
**[20:35] ---**
Kathleen...
**[20:37] ---**
What's wrong?
**[20:39] ---**
There was something you wanted to say...
**[20:43] ---**
No...
**[20:44] ---**
It doesn't matter.
**[20:47] ---**
I just felt a little lonely.
**[20:58] ---**
You surprised me! I went to your room, but you weren't there.
**[21:02] ---**
That's because the fish from this lake are delicious.
**[21:05] ---**
I thought I'd let everyone have some of my catch.
**[21:10] ---**
And how are you doing, by the way?
**[21:13] ---**
I hear Harry made you an odd proposal...
**[21:15] ---**
Oh, you mean the Husband Hunting Game?
**[21:18] ---**
I've only found one so far...
**[21:21] ---**
but I don't even know whether he is one or not...
**[21:24] ---**
Wanna see a picture?
**[21:29] ---**
Ho ho, there's a handsome fellow.
**[21:32] ---**
His name is Eugene. But...
**[21:34] ---**
he's also the reincarnation of Mustafa.
**[21:37] ---**
I see.
**[21:38] ---**
Do you like him?
**[21:40] ---**
Yep.
**[21:41] ---**
How about Lee-Leng?
**[21:43] ---**
Of course I like him.
**[21:45] ---**
But he's not a husband candidate?
**[21:47] ---**
That's impossible... Lee-Leng is my dear big brother.
**[21:51] ---**
He wouldn't do for husband-y stuff.
**[21:54] ---**
"Husband-y stuff?"
**[21:56] ---**
Someone so close to you for so long should be a brother, right?
**[22:01] ---**
Getting married is still far in the future for you.
**[22:04] ---**
Right!
**[22:05] ---**
Also, recently, I made one more friend.
**[22:09] ---**
His retainers wouldn't let me take a picture, so I had to be sneaky.
**[22:12] ---**
See, he's a prince! It causes a lot of difficulties.
**[22:16] ---**
A prince?
**[22:18] ---**
Rumaty, of the Kingdom of Raginei!
**[22:22] ---**
Machaty...
**[22:23] ---**
No, this is Rumaty.
**[22:26] ---**
Machaty is his grandfather.
**[22:29] ---**
My God...
**[22:36] ---**
Fred?
**[22:38] ---**
Machaty's grandson and Kajika...
**[22:42] ---**
Fred!?
**[22:45] ---**
Fred...
**[22:46] ---**
Sooner or later I will come for Kathleen.
**[22:50] ---**
Until then, I leave her in your hands...
**[22:51] ---**
our mutual friend.
**[22:54] ---**
Alas, Machaty...
**[22:57] ---**
has come back...
**[22:58] ---**
**[23:01] ---**
I can't stand feeling this distance,
**[23:09] ---**
So I'm starting to search for your heart.
**[23:16] ---**
Because you were always at my side, protecting me.
**[23:23] ---**
And I'm afraid of being alone.
**[23:30] ---**
Though it's been a long time, everyone's just the same.
**[23:37] ---**
Whether sleeping now, or crying, I want to see your smiling face.
**[23:44] ---**
Because I will love you, with heart overflowing.
**[23:52] ---**
Don't turn away, look at me. I believe in you.
**[23:59] ---**
So, no one else knows our secret thoughts
**[24:07] ---**
The blue sea of a strong and beautiful time.
**[24:14] ---**
In those arms, in that embrace, I'm alive.
