[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...
[01:47] ---
    How long is Rumaty going to stay in there?
[01:49] ---
    You're asking the wrong guy...
[01:52] ---
    Useless.
[01:54] ---
    What do you...
[01:55] ---
    It must have been a shock. He believed in his brother...
[02:00] ---
    Sooner or later, he'll tell us.
[02:04] ---
    I wonder what he'll do now...
[02:08] ---
    There's nothing he can do.
[02:11] ---
    If Rumaty returns to Raginei, he'll be killed.
[02:15] ---
    B--but... in the last year, since all the fuss...
[02:18] ---
    there haven't been any assassins...
[02:21] ---
    They know he's here, though.
[02:24] ---
    Which means someone is controlling things.
[02:27] ---
    Yes, like my brother, perhaps.
[02:30] ---
    He could take it that far...
[02:33] ---
    Quinza is very smart... He'll overthink it, he won't overdo it.
[02:39] ---
    It does worry me a little...
[02:44] ---
    Your Highness!
[02:45] ---
    Lee-Leng, tell Eddie for me. I'm going to do the interview.
[02:48] ---
    Rumaty!
[02:50] ---
    I'm going to say that I was falsely accused of the coup d'etat a year ago.
[02:53] ---
    And then I'm going to claim my legal right of succession.
[02:57] ---
    If you do that, you'll fan the flames of rebellion and turn it into civil war.
[03:03] ---
    If it gets my brother to change his policies, it's enough.
[03:07] ---
    But if it doesn't, I will have from him...
[03:10] ---
    his abdication.
[03:11] ---
    Rumaty!
[03:14] ---
    We have 30 years until the oil runs out.
[03:17] ---
    Until then, if we don't make preparations...
[03:19] ---
    Raginei is on a course for destruction.
[03:23] ---
    We're out of time.
[03:27] ---
    Rumaty!
[03:29] ---
    Wait, Rumaty!
[03:34] ---
    He's serious...
[03:38] ---
    "Bewildered"
[03:45] ---
    Were you serious?
[03:48] ---
    It will cause an uproar!
[03:51] ---
    I spent all night last night thinking about it.
[03:54] ---
    No...
[03:56] ---
    Maybe the truth is I've been thinking about it much longer.
[04:00] ---
    As much as I can...
[04:02] ---
    I want to be on Raginei's side.
[04:06] ---
    Rumaty...
[04:08] ---
    We may be suddenly parted sometime...
[04:13] ---
    I want to say my farewell at once.
[04:16] ---
    Stop it, you're scaring me!
[04:19] ---
    I'm truly glad I met you.
[04:23] ---
    You are a friend for life.
[04:25] ---
    You, too!
[04:27] ---
    The Raguran Yahweh...
[04:30] ---
    Once I put this on, I will never take it off again.
[04:33] ---
    It's the symbol of the heir to the throne.
[04:36] ---
    Please... put it on me with your own hands.
[04:41] ---
    A very assertive accessory...
[04:46] ---
    It's no use trying to stop him now.
[04:50] ---
    He thought about it on his own, and decided on his own.
[04:56] ---
    When did he get so grown up on his own?
[05:03] ---
    Lovely... it suits you.
[05:05] ---
    I want to see you someday, decked out in the clothes of a King.
[05:10] ---
    Kajika, when I am King someday...
[05:15] ---
    will you be Queen?
[05:18] ---
    I'm not the Queen type.
[05:20] ---
    But I do have feelings for you.
[05:25] ---
    Can I kiss you? A lover's kiss.
[05:46] ---
    Lee-Leng...
[05:53] ---
    He...
[05:56] ---
    he averted his eyes!
[06:06] ---
    Kajika.
[06:08] ---
    H--hi...
[06:10] ---
    "H--hi?"
[06:19] ---
    That was exactly...
[06:23] ---
    like my brother.
[06:26] ---
    I want to know, now! Is something wrong?
[06:30] ---
    Today is His Highness Somand's day.
[06:34] ---
    Well, then, it's OK if I'm with him.
[06:36] ---
    Master Rumaty, I'm afraid...
[06:38] ---
    Any excuse would do...
[06:42] ---
    All I wanted was...
[06:43] ---
    without the interference of the bossy chamberlains...
[06:46] ---
    to spend time with my brother.
[06:51] ---
    Your Highness is very fond of the Crown Prince.
[06:55] ---
    Of course!
[06:57] ---
    My brother's going to be King.
[06:59] ---
    As his little brother, I have to help him!
[07:03] ---
    Brother!
[07:09] ---
    Brother...
[07:12] ---
    Set against the memory of my brother...
[07:17] ---
    it lines up perfectly.
[07:20] ---
    Without his realizing it...
[07:23] ---
    it showed on his face...
[07:28] ---
    Lee-Leng...
[07:30] ---
    I can't believe it... you...
[07:34] ---
    So? Was there something you wanted to say to me?
[07:38] ---
    Y--eah, well, I mean...
[07:41] ---
    Mustafa, do you have feelings for me?
[07:44] ---
    I love you.
[07:45] ---
    S--so, that would mean...
[07:48] ---
    if someone else and I...
[07:52] ---
    kiss or anything...
[07:55] ---
    it hurts you?
[07:56] ---
    It hurts me.
[07:58] ---
    You don't sound that hurt.
[08:01] ---
    But I don't have anyone else to talk to about this.
[08:05] ---
    I wonder who did it.
[08:07] ---
    Ah, Rumaty?
[08:09] ---
    H--how did you know?
[08:12] ---
    He asked me to be Queen...
[08:14] ---
    and then asked if he could give me a lover's kiss.
[08:19] ---
    I didn't get a chance to say "Wait..."
[08:24] ---
    I have feelings for Rumaty.
[08:27] ---
    But these "feelings..."
[08:30] ---
    are the same ones I have for you, or Lee-Leng.
[08:34] ---
    Is it OK to say yes with feelings like that?
[08:39] ---
    Why did you come to me about it?
[08:41] ---
    Well, out of all my friends...
[08:44] ---
    there's only one who's really, really, reeeeeeeally knowledgeable about this stuff.
[08:50] ---
    And that's you, Mustafa!
[08:52] ---
    I won't deny it, but...
[08:54] ---
    In the end, I suppose I have to choose...
[08:58] ---
    But I like things best as they are now!
[09:03] ---
    But I suppose...
[09:06] ---
    that's just selfish.
[09:09] ---
    Well, how did it feel? The "lover's kiss?"
[09:14] ---
    How did it feel?
[09:15] ---
    Not really that different from Dad or Maria...
[09:19] ---
    Wanna try?
[09:22] ---
    See how I compare?
[09:27] ---
    Stop!
[09:29] ---
    That's weird.
[09:32] ---
    The "lover's kiss" isn't something you just do with everyone!
[09:36] ---
    Is a "lover" usually someone you pick by comparing?
[09:42] ---
    I understand.
[09:44] ---
    If you don't want to choose, you don't have to.
[09:48] ---
    It's no good trying to force it.
[09:50] ---
    Mustafa... do you really love me?
[09:54] ---
    More than anyone.
[09:55] ---
    Do you want to marry me, like Rumaty?
[09:59] ---
    If it's your wish, yes.
[10:01] ---
    And if it's not my wish...
[10:02] ---
    could we stay friends like this forever?
[10:05] ---
    Even if I fell in love with another man, you wouldn't mind?
[10:10] ---
    As long as you're happy, I will be satisfied.
[10:13] ---
    I don't get it.
[10:15] ---
    If you could really take it that calmly, is that really "love?"
[10:22] ---
    Kajika, show me a hundred people...
[10:25] ---
    and I'll show you a hundred different forms of "love."
[10:28] ---
    Some people want it to fit neatly in a box, one way or another...
[10:33] ---
    but the human heart doesn't come with a manual...
[10:37] ---
    does it?
[10:38] ---
    Mine is just an especially unusual type.
[10:42] ---
    I guess. But I still don't really get it...
[10:46] ---
    There's no need to force it if you don't.
[10:49] ---
    This is my version of love.
[10:52] ---
    You're better off finding your own.
[10:58] ---
    Just remember this...
[11:02] ---
    Loving someone is never a mistake.
[11:07] ---
    Sadly though it may end...
[11:10] ---
    even your regrets are a part of you.
[11:15] ---
    Wow...
[11:17] ---
    That sounds so beautiful.
[11:19] ---
    You don't mess around, Mustafa!
[11:22] ---
    Are you sure you know what that means?
[11:25] ---
    I knew, if I talked to you, you'd put my mind at ease.
[11:30] ---
    Oh, you're meeting someone, aren't you? I'll go, then.
[11:38] ---
    This is unusual for you. How long are you planning to hide...
[11:42] ---
    Isabella?
[11:44] ---
    You just ignored me...
[11:48] ---
    suddenly disappearing like that...
[11:52] ---
    but I'm used to that kind of thing from you.
[11:55] ---
    I hate standing around talking, and I hate sunburns. Let's talk in the car.
[12:00] ---
    Funny, you liked standing around listening well enough.
[12:04] ---
    If you won't say anything nice to me, then I...
[12:07] ---
    won't give you this.
[12:10] ---
    A party given by King Somand?
[12:13] ---
    Yeah, that's the invitation.
[12:16] ---
    Now, of all times, you look glad...
[12:20] ---
    With this, I can get to Quinza.
[12:23] ---
    Is that for Kajika's sake, too?
[12:26] ---
    I know all about her sheltering Prince Rumaty.
[12:31] ---
    So, what is it you want in exchange?
[12:34] ---
    Give it up, Eugene. I have no use for some self-sacrificing holy man.
[12:39] ---
    The Eugene I like doesn't care a whit for anyone else's feelings.
[12:43] ---
    You have these delusions about Kajika.
[12:46] ---
    If you love her so much, go to bed with her!
[12:49] ---
    That'll snap you out of it! You'll see she's just an ordinary girl...
[12:52] ---
    I'll never touch her.
[12:55] ---
    Eugene...
[12:57] ---
    As long as I live, I'll never lay a finger on her.
[13:01] ---
    And you won't mind other men having her? She's not a doll!
[13:07] ---
    It will hurt.
[13:09] ---
    But that hell is what I dream of.
[13:14] ---
    You're a strange man.
[13:19] ---
    Because I love her...
[13:22] ---
    I'm prepared to suffer.
[13:25] ---
    I love the happiness and the suffering...
[13:29] ---
    because the only emotions I feel...
[13:32] ---
    are the ones you grant me.
[13:36] ---
    A moment of happiness.
[13:39] ---
    An eternity of suffering.
[13:42] ---
    If that's how it is...
[13:44] ---
    I want eternity.
[13:49] ---
    I want to take my last breath...
[13:55] ---
    wrapped in your tender thorns.
[14:03] ---
    Yes, there will also be an elders' council meeting.
[14:06] ---
    The link-up is arranged at the hotel.
[14:10] ---
    Right.
[14:11] ---
    What do I say?
[14:15] ---
    "I didn't know." ...It's no use.
[14:19] ---
    If you told me a band of assassins had just burst in, it wouldn't scare me like this.
[14:25] ---
    Your Highness.
[14:27] ---
    I've been meaning to visit you.
[14:30] ---
    Lee-Leng...
[14:32] ---
    He's angry
[14:35] ---
    We've gotten the government of Singapore to agree to accept Your Highness.
[14:40] ---
    Depending on what happens in the interview, though...
[14:43] ---
    things could become delicate with them, too.
[14:47] ---
    What is he doing?
[14:51] ---
    What is that?
[14:54] ---
    I see.
[14:56] ---
    You're going to be sneaky about it, are you?
[15:00] ---
    Just come out and say it! You're pissed at me!
[15:03] ---
    Why are you deliberately acting like that?
[15:07] ---
    I don't understand. What are you talking about?
[15:10] ---
    Don't play dumb! You -- you saw me...
[15:14] ---
    you saw me kiss...
[15:17] ---
    kiss Kajika.
[15:21] ---
    You saw it, and you were angry.
[15:25] ---
    I am currently discussing Your Highness' future.
[15:32] ---
    Singapore is the stronghold of the Huang family.
[15:35] ---
    For you to be welcomed there...
[15:38] ---
    is as good as announcing to the world...
[15:41] ---
    that the Huang family opposes King Somand.
[15:46] ---
    This is a huge gamble for the Huang Group.
[15:51] ---
    I'd rather not have a matter that serious dealt with as if...
[15:56] ---
    it's on the same level as some discussion about kissing. It's offensive.
[16:03] ---
    Liar... you do care about Kajika...
[16:08] ---
    very, very much! More than Huang, or Raginei, or me...
[16:13] ---
    1\pos(328,41)}He's in a state...
[16:13] ---
    that's how much she means to you! How can you lie like that?
[16:15] ---
    1\pos(326,37)}of total panic
[16:18] ---
    I think you should pause for a moment.
[16:25] ---
    The person I wish to speak to is the next leader of Raginei.
[16:29] ---
    I don't have time for a spoiled brat.
[16:37] ---
    You!
[16:39] ---
    You have no idea how I feel!
[16:42] ---
    You're just like my brother! Smiling sweetly while you build a wall!
[16:48] ---
    You never let anything touch you! If you love her, say so!
[16:52] ---
    Maybe you want to spend your whole life and never tell Kajika...
[16:56] ---
    But I'm going to say it! To Kajika, and to you!
[17:01] ---
    The truth is...
[17:03] ---
    you want Kajika too!
[17:13] ---
    Dry yourself off!
[17:22] ---
    What a mess.
[17:27] ---
    Rumaty!
[17:28] ---
    What are you doing here?
[17:31] ---
    Hey, Rumaty, Mustafa told me something really great.
[17:36] ---
    Which isn't a big surprise, really...
[17:40] ---
    Rumaty?
[17:43] ---
    You threw water in his face?
[17:46] ---
    He's probably mad.
[17:49] ---
    Really mad.
[17:52] ---
    Well, what did you do?
[17:55] ---
    So what were you going to apologize for?
[18:01] ---
    What? Is there something you can't tell me?
[18:04] ---
    It's kind of... it's a man-to-man thing!
[18:10] ---
    Okay, fine. But at any rate, go back over there.
[18:14] ---
    Going there to apologize and throwing a drink in his face instead?
[18:18] ---
    Not very logical.
[18:21] ---
    I was scared.
[18:26] ---
    When I thought he was mad at me, I got scared...
[18:29] ---
    and I put on the bravado to hide it.
[18:32] ---
    What are you talking about?
[18:33] ---
    This from the guy who's decided to raid Raginei?
[18:36] ---
    That's totally different! I'm fully prepared for that...
[18:40] ---
    but fighting with Lee-Leng takes a lot more courage!
[18:45] ---
    And in light of that, I got a loud splash of water to the face.
[18:51] ---
    L--Lee-Leng...
[18:55] ---
    O--OK, now you're even.
[18:58] ---
    S--sour... and c--cold...
[19:02] ---
    Grapefruit juice is much worse than water, right? It even had ice...
[19:10] ---
    Fighting fire with fire just leads to a war.
[19:14] ---
    Here.
[19:16] ---
    Negotiation is a wiser path.
[19:20] ---
    Plus, when a third party gets involved it only complicates things.
[19:24] ---
    Really? Well, here goes the third party.
[19:27] ---
    See you two later! My, what a nice day...
[19:34] ---
    I'm sorry about the water.
[19:38] ---
    No matter how I look at it, it was wrong.
[19:41] ---
    I'm very sorry.
[19:44] ---
    Your Highness...
[19:45] ---
    As for Kajika, don't spare my feelings.
[19:49] ---
    If I lose to you, I'll have no regrets.
[19:54] ---
    Thank you.
[19:56] ---
    I, ah, really hate sour things...
[20:00] ---
    Look at that smile...
[20:03] ---
    Your Highness, let's go to Singapore.
[20:10] ---
    -- Camera 1 is good, raise Camera 2
    -- Bottom right spotlight, a little further down!
[20:17] ---
    I do not approve! Making an enemy of King Somand now?
[20:22] ---
    Certainly there's no reason to make the first move.
[20:25] ---
    There will be plenty of time after we see which way the country is going.
[20:30] ---
    Please don't misunderstand me. This is not a consultation.
[20:34] ---
    I merely came to tell you my decision as leader of the Huang.
[20:39] ---
    As elders, it is not in your power...
[20:42] ---
    to overturn that decision.
[20:45] ---
    So, Your Highness, do you intend to reconcile with King Somand?
[20:50] ---
    Of course. When my brother stops ruling as an iron-fisted dictator...
[20:55] ---
    and the order banishing me is withdrawn...
[20:58] ---
    I will serve my brother with pleasure.
[21:02] ---
    That is the true reconciliation that God and the people want.
[21:07] ---
    You care about Kajika, very, very much!
[21:11] ---
    She matters more to you than Huang, or Raginei, or me!
[21:16] ---
    My older brother has no idea how grave the state of society is.
[21:21] ---
    If his advisors are going to let him stay that way...
[21:24] ---
    then I will have to open his eyes.
[21:27] ---
    I consider it my duty.
[21:31] ---
    If you love her, say so!
[21:34] ---
    If I could tell her, I'd have done it long ago!
[21:41] ---
    The truth is... you want Kajika too!
[21:47] ---
    So you're saying, as a first step...
[21:50] ---
    United Nations inspectors should be allowed into the country...
[21:55] ---
    but the King is currently refusing them entry?
[21:58] ---
    He can't refuse them forever.
[22:01] ---
    If nothing were wrong, there wouldn't be unrest among the people.
[22:04] ---
    If I lose to you, I'll have no regrets.
[22:12] ---
    The Huang blood that runs through my veins...
[22:15] ---
    won't let me say it even in jest.
[22:18] ---
    But His Highness... he...
[22:24] ---
    it's never troubled him.
[22:27] ---
    His graciousness...
[22:32] ---
    is enviable...
[22:35] ---
    Precious
[22:38] ---
    And in the event that the King refuses to comply, what will you do?
[22:46] ---
    In that event... I will return.
[22:50] ---
    I don't care if it's only one...
[22:52] ---
    if a voice among my people asks for me...
[22:55] ---
    nothing will stop me.
[22:59] ---
    I will return.
[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.
