**[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.
