[00:13] ---
    I know this cold voice
[00:18] ---
    Taking my friend
[00:23] ---
    Maybe a little afraid you'll run away
[00:28] ---
    But right now...
[00:31] ---
    For this moment in time, I want to hold you tight
[00:36] ---
    By your side, I'm dreaming of the days
[00:41] ---
    When I finally look up at the promised sky
[00:46] ---
    I'll take off and break all the way
[00:50] ---
    For this moment in time, I just wanna be with you
[00:54] ---
    By your side, I'm dreaming of the days
[00:59] ---
    When I finally look up at the promised sky
[01:04] ---
    I know I can change all the way
[01:08] ---
    For the moment...
[01:12] ---
    I just wanna hold you...
[01:35] ---
    I have to go back. Whatever it takes.
[01:40] ---
    But how...?
[01:43] ---
    How can I get out of here?
[01:45] ---
    How do I catch Lee-Leng Huang off guard?
[01:52] ---
    I'll have to play a role.
[01:54] ---
    I'll act the part of the powerless child.
[01:59] ---
    It's my only chance.
[02:03] ---
    What shall we do?
[02:05] ---
    We'll just have to hope Rumaty does something reckless.
[02:10] ---
    The more the two of them fight, the better.
[02:12] ---
    It makes them look bad in front of their people and the world.
[02:17] ---
    Is that where the pure Prince Izmal comes in?
[02:23] ---
    There's power in little things, right?
[02:27] ---
    However...　whoever we decide we want,
[02:30] ---
    they can't be allowed to poison the King.
[02:33] ---
    A trained parrot is good, but anyone who would be like a toxin...
[02:37] ---
    we don't need.
[02:44] ---
    Pride
[02:51] ---
    Did you get one too?
[02:53] ---
    An invitation to the coronation?
[02:56] ---
    Yes. They probably sent Kajika one too...
[02:59] ---
    The ceremony's in a month. Trying to keep Kajika in Raginei, huh…
[03:04] ---
    Probably so. I could intercept it…
[03:07] ---
    The risk is the same wherever she is…
[03:10] ---
    No, it looks like this is an unavoidable trial.
[03:13] ---
    And Rumaty, how is he? Is he still sulking?
[03:17] ---
    Not anymore. I just checked on him;
[03:21] ---
    He listened to me calmly enough.
[03:23] ---
    Perhaps he’s decided to accept reality.
[03:27] ---
    I hope so.
[03:32] ---
    Harry.
[03:33] ---
    Yes?
[03:34] ---
    The next King of Raginei...
[03:38] ---
    Do you think it will be Prince Rumaty?
[03:42] ---
    God only knows what will happen, Lee-Leng.
[03:46] ---
    A foolish question.
[03:50] ---
    RAGINEI
[03:53] ---
    Damn, we made it back.
[03:55] ---
    That was pretty reckless, marching into the royal house alone.
[04:01] ---
    What, is the royal family going to act like the Mafia?
[04:04] ---
    Man! You don’t know a thing about this country, do you?
[04:08] ---
    Look around.
[04:12] ---
    Until 50 years ago, Raginei was a developing country.
[04:18] ---
    Oil made the country suddenly wealthy, but the people can’t change overnight.
[04:26] ---
    Plus, the royal family has been doing the living deity thing.
[04:32] ---
    So… if they wanted, they could have easily taken me out.
[04:38] ---
    Exactly.
[04:39] ---
    And Prince Somand is the worst, he's a real tyrant.
[04:42] ---
    Well. Just be careful from now on.
[04:49] ---
    Rosenthal is backing Izmal?
[04:52] ---
    Hm. Maybe Najayra, maybe Izmal.
[04:56] ---
    Or maybe they'll just back whoever becomes ruler.
[05:00] ---
    Nelson Rosenthal may have aged, but he's still a monster.
[05:04] ---
    But--the eye of the storm is Najayra.
[05:07] ---
    She's like an ancient king herself.
[05:24] ---
    The crimson moon.
[05:27] ---
    The blood-stained moon.
[05:37] ---
    Mustafa!
[05:38] ---
    Hey, Kajika. You didn't go to sleep?
[05:42] ---
    How could I sleep when I was so worried?
[05:45] ---
    It was a real ordeal getting into the American ambassador's house.
[05:50] ---
    Ah--who is...?
[05:53] ---
    Him? I guess I owe him one now.
[05:57] ---
    Hi there!
[05:58] ---
    Eddie Roberts. Paris Newspaper Co--
[06:01] ---
    --let you go, you're a freelance reporter, right?
[06:04] ---
    Ah--ah... reporter?
[06:06] ---
    Yes! It's such an honor that you've agreed to the interview.
[06:11] ---
    Who agreed to anything of the kind?
[06:13] ---
    Listen, why don't you--
[06:14] ---
    It's okay, I don't mind.
[06:16] ---
    Anyone who helps Mustafa is a friend of mine.
[06:20] ---
    Absolutely!
[06:22] ---
    Ah, for the record, who is Mustafa?
[06:24] ---
    Kajika. A moment...
[06:27] ---
    Mustafa?
[06:29] ---
    H--Hey!
[06:34] ---
    Carl?
[06:35] ---
    Yes. He said that the debt has been repaid...
[06:39] ---
    He said that?
[06:41] ---
    But all I did was help when he felt sick on the elevator...
[06:46] ---
    So you know?
[06:48] ---
    The history of Rosenthal and Burnsworth?
[06:51] ---
    Yes. After I met Carl...
[06:56] ---
    But... I feel like we could become friends,
[06:59] ---
    Carl and I.
[07:09] ---
    Excuse me, Miss Kajika.
[07:12] ---
    Two letters have arrived for you.
[07:15] ---
    Letters?
[07:17] ---
    Tonight, 7pm. Please come to Arie Hall. Najayra.
[07:23] ---
    Najayra!?
[07:26] ---
    Huh, working quickly...
[07:28] ---
    Who is Najayra?
[07:30] ---
    Prince Rumaty's cousin.
[07:33] ---
    Daughter of Machaty's second wife.
[07:36] ---
    She's considered holy, a girl who hears the voice of God.
[07:40] ---
    Wow...
[07:41] ---
    And the other one?
[07:43] ---
    An invitation to the coronation, but...
[07:45] ---
    it's a month from now.
[07:46] ---
    A month from now? We're leaving tomorrow and they expect us to come back?
[07:51] ---
    Quite the contrary. They don't want us to leave the country.
[07:56] ---
    But...
[07:57] ---
    Probably so. Even if you try to leave, they'll stall you.
[08:01] ---
    That's absurd. You can't do things like that in the modern world!
[08:06] ---
    I'll contact the Chairman immediately--
[08:07] ---
    No.
[08:09] ---
    Ah--Miss Kajika?
[08:10] ---
    I will attend the coronation.
[08:12] ---
    And I'm also going to meet Najayra.
[08:15] ---
    But... you can't do that!
[08:17] ---
    I want to meet her.
[08:20] ---
    That's my wish. To meet Najayra.
[08:24] ---
    Huh. Looks like she's not letting it go.
[08:28] ---
    Ahh, Master Lee-Leng is going to be so mad at me...
[08:31] ---
    Here, take this.
[08:33] ---
    Well, I'm going to take a nap, wake me up at three.
[08:37] ---
    Miss Kajika!
[08:42] ---
    How old is that girl?
[08:44] ---
    She's fifteen.
[08:46] ---
    That's why they're so much alike.
[08:49] ---
    Like Najayra?
[08:50] ---
    Bingo. Opposites in mood, but a pair. Like positive and negative.
[08:57] ---
    Plus and minus...
[08:59] ---
    Oh!
[09:01] ---
    Two opposites, with such great strength.
[09:05] ---
    If those two met...
[09:09] ---
    I have a bad feeling about this.
[09:14] ---
    Really?
[09:16] ---
    Yeah... I finally understood what Lee-Leng was saying.
[09:20] ---
    For a while, I'll live here in America.
[09:23] ---
    Sorry I've worried you...
[09:26] ---
    Your Highness...
[09:27] ---
    By the way, I hear Noei went to Malaysia.
[09:32] ---
    Yes. From there he plans to smuggle himself into Raginei,
[09:36] ---
    to try to reason with Prince Somand.
[09:43] ---
    But wait, when did he make all these preparations?
[09:47] ---
    It seems he met up at a pub with a man who had come to threaten Master Eugene,
[09:52] ---
    and that man told him about a secret route.
[09:56] ---
    A man of deeds, not words.
[09:59] ---
    And Lee-Leng knows that story?
[10:01] ---
    No... not yet...
[10:04] ---
    That man... he'll find out sooner or later.
[10:09] ---
    It would be wise to keep it quiet.
[10:19] ---
    Here!
[10:21] ---
    What's--?
[10:22] ---
    Give this to the man from the pub, to keep quiet.
[10:26] ---
    What is his name?
[10:28] ---
    I think it was Harper.
[10:30] ---
    He said he'd be at a store called Nova, in Queens.
[10:34] ---
    Can you make it?
[10:35] ---
    Sure. New York is a melting pot. Once I change, I'll blend in.
[10:41] ---
    I see... but what will you say to security?
[10:44] ---
    I'll be fine. I know them, so as long as I call beforehand...
[10:50] ---
    Well, then. I'm going to go get ready.
[11:00] ---
    Forgive me, Sezun.
[11:04] ---
    Name?
[11:05] ---
    Ernest is my name.
[11:08] ---
    It's an honor to serve as your bodyguard.
[11:12] ---
    Is that so?
[11:15] ---
    My bodyguards have nothing to do, so you may just get the run around.
[11:20] ---
    Eh? Really?
[11:24] ---
    I've made the arrangements.
[11:26] ---
    It's all set for a week from now, but isn't the coronation in a month?
[11:31] ---
    According to Toranosuke, Najayra has her eye on Kajika.
[11:36] ---
    A mysterious princess... the sooner we meet her, the better.
[11:44] ---
    Mm? What?
[11:45] ---
    Nothing... but if even you are going to Raginei, he's not going to be very happy...
[11:51] ---
    Yes, that's definitely going to be a problem...
[11:55] ---
    Oh well. I guess I'd better go appease the Prince.
[12:00] ---
    Heh.
[12:01] ---
    What now?
[12:03] ---
    Oh, nothing. I was just thinking how happy you look.
[12:07] ---
    Happy?
[12:09] ---
    Ha. Ridiculous.
[12:11] ---
    I'm going to go get cursed out.
[12:20] ---
    Um, should I go with him?
[12:24] ---
    Chief.
[12:27] ---
    Sezun? Is he alone?
[12:29] ---
    Yes.
[12:30] ---
    Alright, open it up.
[12:38] ---
    I understand what Lee-Leng is saying, but...
[12:40] ---
    my pride won’t allow me to be used by Burnsworth.
[12:45] ---
    A corporation doesn’t operate without profit.
[12:49] ---
    Harry Burnsworth...
[12:51] ---
    He’s going to make me a pawn in his power game.
[12:56] ---
    I won't do it!
[13:03] ---
    Hey, what's his hurry?
[13:05] ---
    They're probably rushing him?
[13:09] ---
    Hello, Security.
[13:11] ---
    John? Did someone just leave?
[13:13] ---
    Yes, Sezun just left. He was properly disguised.
[13:18] ---
    Ah! Too late!
[13:20] ---
    That was Prince Rumaty! Go after him!
[13:27] ---
    Perhaps I was too easy on him...
[13:44] ---
    I'm free.
[13:46] ---
    I'm free!
[13:51] ---
    What do you think?
[13:52] ---
    Hm? Looks like him.
[13:55] ---
    $100,000...
[14:07] ---
    At any rate, first of all I have to get to New York.
[14:22] ---
    Hey kid, where you headed?
[14:24] ---
    Qu--Queens.
[14:27] ---
    I'm headed past there. Hop in.
[14:31] ---
    Is that!? Your Highness!
[14:34] ---
    Caught already?
[14:38] ---
    Your Highness!
[14:45] ---
    That way!
[14:49] ---
    What was that?
[14:50] ---
    Don't worry about it.
[14:51] ---
    ’Scuse me, do you think you could hurry?
[14:54] ---
    I don't have any cash, but I'd be grateful...
[14:56] ---
    In that case.
[14:57] ---
    It'll be our pleasure.
[15:03] ---
    Current location?
[15:05] ---
    They're on the freeway, heading for New York.
[15:09] ---
    Ah--wait--they made a right.
[15:13] ---
    Atlantic City?
[15:21] ---
    What's going on?
[15:22] ---
    The guys who picked up the Prince were most likely hired by Raginei.
[15:27] ---
    They'll probably take him by boat...
[15:30] ---
    Hurry!
[15:35] ---
    Atlantic?
[15:37] ---
    Hey, what is this? New York is the other way.
[15:41] ---
    Oh really? Hey, bro, did you make a wrong turn?
[15:45] ---
    Nope. This is the right way...
[15:49] ---
    because we're escorting Prince Rumaty, right?
[15:54] ---
    You guys... from Raginei...!
[15:58] ---
    Your homeland awaits you.
[16:00] ---
    Your Highness...
[16:10] ---
    Hey, stop!
[16:15] ---
    Linus!
[16:16] ---
    Yeah.
[16:25] ---
    Heh. An easy shot.
[16:36] ---
    Hold it.
[16:40] ---
    Pretty rash, aren't you.
[16:43] ---
    Damn it... little oil baron!
[16:48] ---
    Quit it!
[16:49] ---
    I told you, we get a bonus if he makes it to Raginei unharmed.
[16:53] ---
    Huh. If worst comes to worst our client wouldn't mind a dead body.
[16:59] ---
    So the next time you try pulling a fast one, you can kiss this world goodbye.
[17:05] ---
    Dead or alive...
[17:07] ---
    Hands where I can see 'em!
[17:09] ---
    My brother?
[17:12] ---
    John and his men? Are they hurt?
[17:15] ---
    They'll live, but... they lost them.
[17:19] ---
    Understood. But the Prince is fine?
[17:22] ---
    Yes. But this is too dangerous. Master, please come back.
[17:26] ---
    It is close to Atlantic City. I'll contact you when I know their location.
[17:33] ---
    Keep going straight.
[17:34] ---
    Got it. But... did you know this would happen?
[17:40] ---
    Telling me to head straight to Atlantic City...
[17:43] ---
    Well... I've been at it so long, trying to outsmart your opponent becomes second nature.
[17:48] ---
    Master Lee-Leng... you're really just 19?
[17:53] ---
    Are you trying to say I look old?
[17:55] ---
    No, that’s not what I meant.
[17:57] ---
    What I meant was strength, a sense of command.
[18:01] ---
    Mimicry. Do you know what that means?
[18:04] ---
    Well... like insects changing colors, that kind of thing?
[18:09] ---
    I've been trained all my life to become the leader of the Huangs.
[18:15] ---
    I’ve naturally mimicked what was needed…an entrepreneur, an expert on politics…
[18:23] ---
    However...
[18:25] ---
    I've spent so much time mimicking others, I can no longer remember who I really am.
[18:49] ---
    This is it, this car.
[18:50] ---
    This camera is in section 52.
[18:58] ---
    Just like you said, they were on the security camera.
[19:01] ---
    Turn off the lights and get out of the car.
[19:08] ---
    Is that it?
[19:09] ---
    Probably... but they might have the Prince somewhere else.
[19:14] ---
    We need to be sure. Do you have a gun?
[19:18] ---
    What? We’re not waiting for the backup?
[19:21] ---
    The kidnappers know we'll find them if they stay here too long.
[19:24] ---
    However.
[19:27] ---
    That's...
[19:28] ---
    One of the arts of self-defense. Handier than a gun in close combat.
[19:34] ---
    I'll be fine. Focus on the Prince.
[19:37] ---
    Right.
[19:38] ---
    Let's go.
[20:04] ---
    The Prince...
[20:07] ---
    Master Lee-Leng.
[20:09] ---
    There is one in the other room, but other than that…
[20:13] ---
    Just as John and his men said.
[20:15] ---
    But, I can hear their voices…it seems the pickup is in 15 minutes.
[20:19] ---
    What?
[20:23] ---
    Zao?
[20:25] ---
    Master Lee-Leng! Where are you?
[20:27] ---
    The Atlantic City marina. I've found the kidnapper's hideout.
[20:32] ---
    Answer briefly. How long will it take for the nearest personnel to get here?
[20:36] ---
    At least 20 minutes...
[20:38] ---
    Too bad. That won't be good enough.
[20:41] ---
    Master Lee-Leng... you can't! Please wait!
[20:45] ---
    I'm going to rescue the Prince.
[20:47] ---
    Master Lee-Leng. Ma--
[20:49] ---
    You go to the front and lure one of them out while I enter from the back.
[20:54] ---
    Whatever you hear, stay glued to that door. Look out for any ambush.
[20:59] ---
    But the keys...
[21:01] ---
    I only need ten seconds to pick a lock like that. Now go.
[21:06] ---
    Roger.
[21:11] ---
    Such a bright night.
[21:14] ---
    The full moon...
[21:16] ---
    doesn't bode well for our side.
[21:25] ---
    I’m impressed, Your Highness.
[21:27] ---
    Does this mean you've accepted your fate?
[21:30] ---
    Is this my brother's will?
[21:32] ---
    Huh?
[21:33] ---
    The order... was it my brother's?
[21:35] ---
    The will of King Somand?
[21:38] ---
    I wonder... it'd be tough for him not to know about it, huh?
[21:43] ---
    That's not true! My brother has nothing to do with this!
[21:46] ---
    Hold still!
[21:50] ---
    He doesn't know. My brother...
[21:54] ---
    He doesn't know anything, anything at all.
[22:01] ---
    Who's there?
[22:03] ---
    Sorry to bother you so late. This is the manager.
[22:07] ---
    Damn…keep an eye on him, okay?
[22:25] ---
    Linus!?
[22:28] ---
    Your Highness. Hurry!
[22:30] ---
    Oh, Lee-Leng.
[22:36] ---
    Lee-Leng!
[22:49] ---
    Stop!
[22:51] ---
    Don't kill him! I'll go home, I'll go quietly!
[22:55] ---
    Just don't kill him!
[22:58] ---
    Prince...
[23:02] ---
    The distance I feel gives me sorrow,
[23:08] ---
    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.
[23:45] ---
    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 know the secret thoughts of the two of us.
[24:07] ---
    The blue sea of a strong and beautiful time.
[24:14] ---
    In those arms, in that breast, I'm alive.
