[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...
[01:33] ---
    I'm bored...
[01:39] ---
    Kathleen.
[01:46] ---
    Kathlee--
[01:48] ---
    Ahh!
[01:50] ---
    What do you think you're doing?!
[01:55] ---
    What's going on?
[01:57] ---
    There's no way around it!
[01:59] ---
    He was spying on me in the bath!
[02:02] ---
    Prince Pervert!
[02:04] ---
    No one mocks the King's son!
[02:07] ---
    First of all, who'd want to see...
[02:10] ---
    those floppy things?
[02:12] ---
    You looked hard enough!
[02:15] ---
    J--Jabir...
[02:16] ---
    Your anger is entirely reasonable...
[02:18] ---
    please take it out on me instead!
[02:20] ---
    That's some impressive devotion...
[02:22] ---
    You were going to hit me?
[02:25] ---
    Me, the son of the representative of the Lord Ragi?
[02:28] ---
    "Shape of Love"
[02:35] ---
    Unfathomable...
[02:36] ---
    Westerners' thinking is completely beyond me!
[02:41] ---
    I'm sorry...
[02:43] ---
    I didn't mean it...
[02:44] ---
    Even this is good experience.
[02:49] ---
    Some shady-looking guys just showed up...
[02:54] ---
    Out for blood...
[02:57] ---
    Your Highness, assassins!
[02:59] ---
    Please escape while I hold them back!
[03:02] ---
    Don't be ridiculous! We'll all escape out the window!
[03:05] ---
    Delivery for Mr. Burnsworth.
[03:08] ---
    C--coming!
[03:09] ---
    No choice...
[03:11] ---
    Jabir, defend this place to the end.
[03:14] ---
    I grant you permission to give your life for God and the royal family!
[03:17] ---
    Oh! Your Highness!
[03:19] ---
    You would give me that honor?
[03:21] ---
    W--what are you talking about?
[03:23] ---
    Quickly, Your Highness!
[03:24] ---
    Farewell, Jabir.
[03:27] ---
    Come, Kathleen!
[03:29] ---
    Just a minute!
[03:36] ---
    It's His Highness!
[03:53] ---
    This way!
[03:57] ---
    That was a quick getaway...
[03:59] ---
    If we fail this time, there's no way we can face Master Nasanal.
[04:04] ---
    It was a mistake to rely on the Mafia!
[04:06] ---
    So you hired white men to kill the King?!
[04:09] ---
    You sold out the very soul of Raginei?!
[04:14] ---
    You are fools...
[04:15] ---
    Your Highness...
[04:17] ---
    Tell Master Nasanal...
[04:19] ---
    Why would anyone born in Raginei kill the King?
[04:23] ---
    If the King is killed... it's also the end of Raginei!
[04:27] ---
    He would see us reduced to Britain's subordinates, a vassal state!
[04:32] ---
    If he can't see the larger picture...
[04:34] ---
    how can he call himself a leader?
[04:37] ---
    That's the voice of a King...
[04:39] ---
    He's a heedless fool, this Master Nasanal.
[04:41] ---
    Your Highness...
[04:44] ---
    He makes people come to his service so easily...
[04:48] ---
    You... were truly born to be a King...
[04:53] ---
    Come, if you're coming!
[04:55] ---
    I am already dead!
[05:01] ---
    General Hassan!
[05:03] ---
    You were going to use a sword to fight men with guns?
[05:08] ---
    Good thing reinforcements got here in time.
[05:10] ---
    Where is His Highness?
[05:12] ---
    About that...
[05:14] ---
    At any rate, we have to go to the police quick.
[05:17] ---
    I'm worried about Jabir.
[05:19] ---
    I granted Jabir permission to die.
[05:22] ---
    He probably died with pride.
[05:24] ---
    You can't be serious?
[05:26] ---
    The King grants someone death...
[05:28] ---
    only when the fate of the nation depends on it.
[05:31] ---
    The House of Jabir...
[05:33] ---
    will be remembered forever for this.
[05:36] ---
    I don't believe you!
[05:38] ---
    You're not fit to be King!
[05:41] ---
    I may not know how things are in your country...
[05:44] ---
    but as a person...
[05:46] ---
    if someone can lay down his life for your sake...
[05:49] ---
    and you won't even care when he dies...
[05:52] ---
    then you're the kind of person I despise!
[05:54] ---
    Without all your attendants, you're completely helpless...
[05:57] ---
    so drop the big act!
[05:59] ---
    You're a little baby who doesn't know anything!
[06:05] ---
    Now you've done it!
[06:09] ---
    How could you...
[06:10] ---
    you made me break my promise to my mother...
[06:14] ---
    On her deathbed, my mother told me...
[06:16] ---
    that women were frail, that I must protect them...
[06:19] ---
    and I must never raise a hand against one.
[06:23] ---
    And I promised, but now...
[06:26] ---
    He feels no shame...
[06:29] ---
    a moment ago he forced grown men to his will...
[06:33] ---
    and now he's crying like a child of five or six.
[06:37] ---
    It's overpowering...
[06:39] ---
    this extraordinary gentility...
[06:44] ---
    Beautiful...
[06:46] ---
    they look just like pearls...
[06:57] ---
    I'm sorry.
[06:58] ---
    Please don't cry.
[07:03] ---
    Say, how old were you when you lost your mother?
[07:07] ---
    Eight.
[07:09] ---
    I was 13 when it happened.
[07:11] ---
    Right after we came to New York from Oklahoma...
[07:14] ---
    we both got sick.
[07:17] ---
    She lost her job, and we had nothing to eat...
[07:20] ---
    so nothing helped.
[07:23] ---
    We had to learn the true meaning of hunger...
[07:28] ---
    I was lucky, so I managed to survive...
[07:32] ---
    I guess when you think about it, being King means...
[07:34] ---
    making sure that doesn't happen to your country, huh?
[07:38] ---
    Yeah...
[07:40] ---
    I suppose so.
[07:41] ---
    Hey, when you become King...
[07:45] ---
    make everyone happy, okay?
[07:48] ---
    Make it so no one is shivering in the cold or going hungry.
[07:54] ---
    I never want to let anyone else...
[07:56] ---
    gnaw on potato skins to get by...
[07:59] ---
    So...
[08:02] ---
    make them happy.
[08:06] ---
    Okay.
[08:08] ---
    My instructors in the art of being King...
[08:10] ---
    had a more complicated way of putting it.
[08:14] ---
    Kathleen...
[08:15] ---
    Did I hurt you?
[08:16] ---
    Hah. Do I look that fragile?
[08:18] ---
    But I feel like now...
[08:20] ---
    I understand for the first time...
[08:23] ---
    C'mon, let's hide out at the club until morning.
[08:27] ---
    Everyone should be gone by now.
[08:29] ---
    what king... and crown... and country... really mean...
[08:37] ---
    Oh, dear, you're soaking wet.
[08:39] ---
    Er, I mustn't take off your headcloth, right?
[08:42] ---
    Removing it in front of a woman is a declaration of love.
[08:45] ---
    You don't say?
[08:46] ---
    But... you are a Royal Handmaiden. You may.
[08:50] ---
    Yes, sir.
[08:51] ---
    No more tears, my Prince.
[08:55] ---
    Wait here. I'll go grab us something to eat.
[09:08] ---
    Well?
[09:10] ---
    It tastes good...
[09:11] ---
    I finally found something you like!
[09:13] ---
    When it's hot... soup is really good...
[09:16] ---
    Huh?
[09:17] ---
    In the Royal Palace, they don't serve anything hot.
[09:20] ---
    They say it's bad for you...
[09:22] ---
    I never even knew about this kind of thing.
[09:26] ---
    Maybe it's just like you said...
[09:29] ---
    Maybe I really don't know anything...
[09:35] ---
    Kathleen...
[09:36] ---
    I used to hate white people.
[09:39] ---
    But did I really even know what "white people" were?
[09:44] ---
    The first white woman I ever saw up close was you.
[09:48] ---
    I was shocked by how different you were.
[09:50] ---
    To be honest, it gave me the creeps.
[09:53] ---
    Well, excuse me...
[09:55] ---
    But now...
[09:57] ---
    you seem more beautiful than even my mother's memory...
[10:03] ---
    Kathleen...
[10:06] ---
    I wonder if Jabir got to know warmth...
[10:09] ---
    If he died without knowing it, that would be a pity...
[10:12] ---
    Even if he died with honor... it would be a pity.
[10:18] ---
    Being ignorant...
[10:20] ---
    is pitiful...
[10:36] ---
    Kathleen...
[10:40] ---
    You really are warm...
[10:42] ---
    Sure I am.
[10:45] ---
    But when all I have is this, all to myself... it's only natural.
[10:56] ---
    Machaty.
[10:59] ---
    Get up, it's a beautiful day.
[11:05] ---
    No use fighting it.
[11:07] ---
    I put some hot coffee on. Time to wake up.
[11:17] ---
    But I don't want to wake up...
[11:27] ---
    Is something wrong?
[11:28] ---
    I've been thinking.
[11:30] ---
    How to make the dream reality...
[11:34] ---
    Kathleen.
[11:37] ---
    Marry me.
[11:41] ---
    Nonsense!
[11:43] ---
    Your Highness was betrothed before God to Miss Arena!
[11:47] ---
    I'm not being self-indulgent.
[11:49] ---
    I will make any sacrifice for the sake of my country.
[11:53] ---
    But if I'm not free even to choose my own companion...
[11:57] ---
    I can't call myself a King. I'm not fit to become one.
[12:01] ---
    Your Highness...
[12:03] ---
    He looks peaceful...
[12:05] ---
    What could have happened in one day?
[12:09] ---
    I told him it's impossible!
[12:10] ---
    I'm sorry I was foolish enough to let it come to this!
[12:14] ---
    Well, then, please hide yourself immediately.
[12:18] ---
    It's His Highness' disposition. He will not fail to carry out his intention.
[12:22] ---
    And the result will be chaos in our country...
[12:29] ---
    Please forget all of this...
[12:31] ---
    as if it were a dream.
[12:34] ---
    Nothing happened.
[12:37] ---
    The last two days...
[12:40] ---
    were a dream.
[12:43] ---
    My Prince with the long black eyes...
[12:47] ---
    I'll never see you near me again...
[12:55] ---
    Kathleen...
[12:59] ---
    I think...
[13:00] ---
    I loved Machaty.
[13:03] ---
    I fell so much in love with him.
[13:07] ---
    I only just realized...
[13:11] ---
    Why did it have to be someone so far from me?
[13:28] ---
    Where are we going?
[13:30] ---
    We made it.
[13:33] ---
    Look...
[13:39] ---
    Machaty...
[13:41] ---
    Go ahead and burn his image into your memory.
[13:44] ---
    Thank you, Fred.
[13:51] ---
    Kathleen!
[13:56] ---
    Machaty!
[13:57] ---
    Spotted!
[13:58] ---
    --Kathleen!
    --Your Highness!
[14:04] ---
    Kathleen!
[14:15] ---
    As the gods are my witnesses...
[14:18] ---
    I ask you...
[14:20] ---
    will you marry me?
[14:23] ---
    Machaty...
[14:25] ---
    someone like you...
[14:35] ---
    Stop! Please don't kill him!
[14:40] ---
    Please don't kill my Prince!
[14:51] ---
    Kathleen...
[14:54] ---
    What's your answer to my proposal?
[14:58] ---
    You're alive...
[15:00] ---
    You dummy...
[15:11] ---
    Your hand, Kathleen.
[15:14] ---
    When I was born, this ring was given to the Queen.
[15:18] ---
    Only one was ever made.
[15:20] ---
    Something so valuable...
[15:22] ---
    Don't give it to me. I'll just lose it.
[15:26] ---
    I don't care.
[15:28] ---
    You are my one and only queen.
[15:31] ---
    I'll take care of it... always.
[15:36] ---
    I will convince my father to agree.
[15:39] ---
    Your Highness... it's time.
[15:46] ---
    How was that? It's the Western way of saying goodbye.
[15:49] ---
    I think I'm getting used to it.
[15:51] ---
    Oh, Machaty...
[15:53] ---
    Fred... sooner or later I will come for Kathleen.
[15:57] ---
    Until then, I leave her in your hands, my friend.
[16:00] ---
    Wait for me. I'll be back soon.
[16:05] ---
    Soon!
[16:09] ---
    Are you really alright?
[16:11] ---
    Machaty left me many gifts...
[16:15] ---
    I'm content.
[16:16] ---
    And I will raise his child.
[16:20] ---
    I'm glad.
[16:22] ---
    To have at least that much to look forward to...
[16:26] ---
    If that's what you're looking forward to, I want to be part of it.
[16:30] ---
    Mind having me for a second father?
[16:47] ---
    Machaty...
[16:48] ---
    Fred!
[16:53] ---
    Kajika...
[16:54] ---
    You knew your heart was weak, didn't you?
[16:57] ---
    Why didn't you tell me!
[17:04] ---
    Before, I'm sure he said "Machaty..."
[17:07] ---
    Why would Fred say the name of Raginei's former king?
[17:11] ---
    Come to think of it, Noei said something...
[17:14] ---
    Kajika resembles His Highness Rumaty.
[17:18] ---
    By some random chance, they have exactly the same expressions...
[17:23] ---
    Her resemblance to Rumaty...
[17:26] ---
    could Kajika be Machaty's...?
[17:29] ---
    No... however you slice it, it's too big a stretch...
[17:33] ---
    If it were true, then 54 years ago...
[17:35] ---
    Machaty would have to have been in New York.
[17:40] ---
    Master Lee-Leng... i--it's Miss Kajika...
[17:47] ---
    Kajika?
[17:48] ---
    Fred's alright.
[17:53] ---
    I think I...
[17:54] ---
    may not be Fred's granddaughter.
[17:58] ---
    At any rate, let's discuss it outside.
[18:01] ---
    C'mon...
[18:07] ---
    For a long time I couldn't say it.
[18:09] ---
    But if I thought Fred was going to die...
[18:13] ---
    it would be unbearable.
[18:15] ---
    But really, this isn't fair.
[18:19] ---
    Kajika...
[18:25] ---
    Now, now, gracious me.
[18:27] ---
    Kajika.
[18:29] ---
    I hate boys!
[18:30] ---
    They act rough, but then they start crying!
[18:33] ---
    I used to feel the same way.
[18:36] ---
    But just once...
[18:38] ---
    I saw a boy's tears and was deeply moved.
[18:43] ---
    I felt the beauty of it with my whole heart...
[18:48] ---
    The tears, as lovely as pearls...
[18:50] ---
    streamed one after another down his cheek.
[18:54] ---
    He didn't even wipe them away, just stood stock still in his sorrow.
[18:59] ---
    I was fascinated.
[19:02] ---
    That was when I understood.
[19:05] ---
    This was what they meant by "love."
[19:08] ---
    That boy... it was Fred?
[19:12] ---
    No...
[19:18] ---
    I had never seen such a beautiful smile.
[19:22] ---
    Whatever I do, the doubts from that day won't go away...
[19:26] ---
    but even so, I couldn't ask...
[19:28] ---
    It's too awful!
[19:30] ---
    When I loved them both so much, to think my dear Kathleen had betrayed my dear Fred...
[19:35] ---
    Kajika...
[19:40] ---
    Fred, should you be sitting up?
[19:42] ---
    Kajika...
[19:44] ---
    there's something I need to tell you.
[19:50] ---
    You can stay, I don't mind.
[19:53] ---
    It was my idea to get married.
[19:56] ---
    I figured the baby in Kathleen's belly needed a father.
[20:03] ---
    When we became husband and wife, I discovered love could come in this shape, too.
[20:08] ---
    We loved each other in our own fashion...
[20:11] ---
    It was not passion, but a quiet regard we had for each other.
[20:17] ---
    I never had any idea it was hurting you...
[20:23] ---
    Forgive me.
[20:26] ---
    But, if I could accept Harry peacefully...
[20:31] ---
    perhaps it's because I, too, loved his father.
[20:35] ---
    Even so...
[20:36] ---
    my only grandfather is you, Fred!
[20:39] ---
    I love you, Fred.
[20:43] ---
    Kajika...
[20:59] ---
    This was my life's work...
[21:02] ---
    but it will never be completed.
[21:06] ---
    To meet with something extraordinary and true...
[21:09] ---
    For a writer, it's a blessing and a curse.
[21:14] ---
    When the truth is like this...
[21:16] ---
    no fiction could ever compare.
[21:24] ---
    Time never stops, does it...
[21:27] ---
    Tiny little Kajika...
[21:29] ---
    has grown up into someone who would cry out of sympathy for me.
[21:34] ---
    You remind me of Harry.
[21:38] ---
    You understand things you need never have understood.
[21:41] ---
    Poor child.
[21:42] ---
    You're not as strong as Harry, though.
[21:46] ---
    Delicate people like you...
[21:49] ---
    aren't suited by nature for the business world.
[21:53] ---
    Is that so?
[21:55] ---
    A novelist's powers of observation are nothing to sneeze at.
[22:00] ---
    You are a poor child.
[22:03] ---
    You ought to wake up to that fact.
[22:06] ---
    I'll bear it in mind.
[22:10] ---
    Lee-Leng, give me your hand...
[22:15] ---
    I leave Kajika in your hands.
[22:19] ---
    I accept.
[22:23] ---
    Lee-Leng, look! I got so many fish!
[22:26] ---
    I'm going to let Fred eat them.
[22:29] ---
    Fred has agreed to have a nurse stay with him.
[22:33] ---
    Really? That's a big step forward.
[22:40] ---
    What's wrong? You seem down.
[22:42] ---
    Maybe a bit... I'm sure it's just the weather.
[22:46] ---
    Perhaps a storm is coming...
[22:49] ---
    Yes... perhaps.
[22:55] ---
    It'll be here very soon.
[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.
