SIGN    Book 1: The Wilderness of Love & Sorrow
[01:34] Crowd
    What happened?
[01:37] Crowd
    That's a damn shame...
[01:40] Kuzu
    He's the fifth to have died.
[01:44] Tsuki
    A bigwig from a trading company,
    an electromagnetics professor...
[01:48] Tsuki
    An onmyoji from the Tsuchimikado clan?
SIGN    Episode 2: Confidential File 033, The Treasurer
[01:51] Tsuki
    It looks like all the victims
    were on that stolen roster.
[01:55] Kuzu
    And they were all being provided
    confidential funding by the government...
[01:59] Kuzu
    These were important individuals,
    with big roles to play
[02:02] Kuzu
    in the country's future.
[02:04] Tsuki
    Are you sure you don't mean
    the Tokugawa regime's future?
[02:09] Kuzu
    I'm not going to dignify
    that with an answer.
[02:12] Kuzu
    What I want to know is how Kuchinawa
    even learned of the roster.
[02:17] Kuzu
    No one except a Nue agent would've known
[02:20] Kuzu
    where the top secret files
    were being stored.
[02:24] Kuzu
    The assassination plot Hanakaze
    dug up was a diversion.
[02:29] Kuzu
    If we can trace the tip back to
     its source, we'll find our traitor.
[02:32] Tsuki
    Understood. I'll get to it.
[02:36] Kuzu
    Hold it.
[02:39] Kuzu
    How's Yukimura doing?
[02:40] Tsuki
    Oh, well, unfortunately...
[02:49] Asahi
    Okay!
[02:51] Asahi
    I did a good job cutting it!
[02:57] Tsuki
    It saddens me to report that she survived.
[03:00] Tsuki
    It's been four days since her fight.
[03:02] Tsuki
    With her abnormal healing ability,
    she should be up and about again.
[03:07] Tsuki
    It'd be so much easier
    for her if she was dead.
[03:09] Tsuki
    Maybe I should do her the favor...
[03:16] Tsuki
    If you'll excuse me, sir.
[03:27] Sawa
    I know.
[03:29] Sawa
    I've never forgotten... not for a second.
SIGN    Diary
[03:55] (Flashback) Sawa
    Mom, what's that?
[03:58] (Flashback) Mom
    I'm thinking of keeping a diary.
[04:00] (Flashback) Mom
    So I picked one up when
    I was shopping in town.
[04:04] (Flashback) Sawa
    A diary?
[04:14] Sawa
    On that day... everything was taken from me.
[04:27] Sawa
    My mother was murdered before
    she could ever write in her diary.
[04:33] Sawa
    Along with my father and my brother.
[04:36] Sawa
    Everyone who lived in
    our village was killed.
[04:54] (Flashback) Kuzu
    Are you digging graves for them?
[05:08] (Flashback) Kuzu
    Do you want revenge?
[05:10] (Flashback) Sawa
    Revenge?
[05:12] (Flashback) Kuzu
    Right now, there's no way to know who
    killed your friends and family, or why.
[05:18] (Flashback) Kuzu
    But if you found them one day,
    would you want to kill them yourself?
[05:30] (Flashback) Sawa
    I want revenge.
[05:33] (Flashback) Kuzu
    Then come with me.
[05:49] Kuzu
    We are a secret organization that
    protects our country's head of state,
[05:52] Kuzu
    Yoshinobu Tokugawa-sama.
[05:54] Kuzu
    We're called "Nue."
[05:57] Kuzu
    I'm going to turn you
    into a Nue executioner.
[06:33] Kuzu
    I'm going to use you to
    make Nue more powerful.
[06:39] Kuzu
    And you're going to use me
    in order to get your revenge.
[06:57] (Flashback) Gang
    Who the hell are you?
[06:58] (Flashback) Gang
    You think you can get away with this?!
[07:17] Sawa
    I will never forget.
[07:19] Customer
    Excuse me!
[07:28] Customer
    Thank you.
[07:36] Sawa
    Asahi, I need you to watch the shop.
[07:39] Asahi
    Huh?! But it's almost time for dinner!
[07:55] Elena
    This town never settles down.
[07:58] Elena
    They're always digging for something,
    or patching up the walls...
[08:01] Sawa
    It's probably maintenance
    on the artificial Ryumyaku.
[08:05] Sawa
    Without its effects, the electrical
    output drops to around 20.
[08:10] Elena
    I didn't ask for a lecture.
[08:13] Radio
    It's 1 PM, and we have news
    from the government.

[08:17] Radio
    This afternoon, representatives
    from the US, Britain, and France

[08:21] Radio
    out of the secessionist island of Kyushu,
[08:24] Radio
    and the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
    Hidenaga Matsudaira,

[08:27] Radio
    met for a four-way conference
    in Matsuyama, Ehime.

[08:29] Customer
    Kyoko-chan!
[08:30] Treasurer
    Yes?
[08:31] Radio
    The results were reported immediately
    to Yoshinobu Tokugawa-sama

[08:33] Customers
    I'll take the ginger-fried pork lunch,
    with some croquettes.
[08:35] Customers
    And extra rice, please.
[08:36] Customers
    I'll have the miso mackerel
    meal, with a boiled egg.
[08:37] Radio
    and are likely to ensure an advantageous
    bargaining position for our country

[08:38] Customers
    And a small bowl of hijiki if you've got it.
[08:40] Customers
    Grilled salmon, meat and
    potato stew, and curry rice.
[08:42] Treasurer
    Sure thing. It's a pleasure
    having you all again.
[08:45] Radio
    in future trade negotiations
    with the three foreign powers.

[08:45] Elena
    Wow, she doesn't have to
    write any of that down?
[08:50] Tsuki
    Sorry about that. I'll be right over.
[08:52] Radio
    In the evening, a group of malcontents causing
     a public nuisance in Miyagi Prefecture

[08:55] Sawa
    Can I order the daily special
    from Friday of last week?
[08:58] Radio
    were swiftly dealt with by local police,
[09:00] Treasurer
    That'll depend on if we still
    have the ingredients.
[09:02] Radio
    with all suspicious
    individuals involved arrested.

[09:04] Treasurer
    Let me check.
[09:09] Elena
    You're the treasurer, then?
[09:12] Sawa
    A car is coming.
[09:14] Sawa
    We're going to escort you to safety.
[09:33] Elena
    You had better not think I owe you for that.
[09:35] Sawa
    I don't.
[09:37] Elena
    See, this is exactly why
    you're so damn annoying!
[09:46] Elena
    You look after the treasurer.
[09:49] Sawa
    Understood.
[09:58] Treasurer
    Where were you going to take me?
[10:01] Sawa
    To a boat.
[10:03] Treasurer
    Going where?
[10:04] Sawa
    I don't know.
[10:06] Sawa
    You'll most likely be leaving Tokyo, however.
[10:08] Treasurer
    West or east...
[10:11] Treasurer
    Not that either sounds great.
[10:15] Treasurer
    There are riots happening
    all over the place.
[10:18] Treasurer
    Toyama has run out of prison space,
[10:20] Treasurer
    so lately they've been killing
    people instead of arresting them.
[10:23] Treasurer
    The commotion in Yamaguchi has
    been covered up as a pandemic,
[10:27] Treasurer
    but it was actually a crackdown
    on English-funded insurgents.
[10:31] Treasurer
    The bodies were dumped into the sea.
[10:33] Treasurer
    There are a lot of things people
    don't notice living in Tokyo,
[10:36] Treasurer
    and they're probably happier for it.
[10:38] Sawa
    I see.
[10:39] Treasurer
    Then again, maybe it's the same
    no matter where you go.
[10:43] Treasurer
    The government doesn't even
    want to admit opposition exists.
[10:47] Treasurer
    That's why they'd never admit that a group
[10:50] Treasurer
    that exists to eliminate anti-establishment
    VIPs like Nue actually exists.
[10:56] Sawa
    Didn't you know all that before joining Nue?
[10:59] Treasurer
    I did. But they can't keep
    the facade going forever.
[11:03] Treasurer
    Anti-regime forces are gaining
    power all over the country.
[11:07] Treasurer
    I think people in Tokyo
    realize that, on some level.
[11:11] Treasurer
    So no matter where you go,
     it's all really the same.
[11:14] Sawa
    It's no business of mine who knows what.
[11:19] Treasurer
    It's not? When we're both members of Nue?
[11:25] Sawa
    We should really hurry.
[11:29] Treasurer
    You'll want to take a right at the
    next intersection, and then a left.
[11:33] Treasurer
    Another left after that, which
    should take us closest to the harbor.
[11:38] Sawa
    You actually know the full
    layout of the tunnels?
[11:44] Treasurer
    I do, actually.
[11:45] Treasurer
    I also know that you're Sawa Karasumori,
[11:49] Treasurer
    born on December 7th of the year Meiji 46.
[11:52] Treasurer
    You were registered as a Nue
    executioner in Meiji 60.
[11:58] Treasurer
    It's something about how my brain works...
[12:00] Treasurer
    I remember everything I see or hear,
    whether I want to or not.
[12:05] Treasurer
    All the money and people who operate in
    and around the Tokugawa government...
[12:09] Treasurer
    It's all in my head.
[12:12] Treasurer
    That's why they call me "the treasurer."
[12:16] Sawa
    Including incidents where
    the records have been purged?
[12:20] Treasurer
    And all of the Tokugawa
    government's dirty laundry.
[12:23] Treasurer
    Which is why, if Janome gets
    a hold of the intel I have,
[12:27] Treasurer
    it'll spell doom for the regime.
[12:29] Sawa
    I won't let that happen.
[12:31] Treasurer
    That's a relief to hear.
SIGN    Morning Dew Used Bookstore
[12:45] Tsuki
    Practicing your writing?
[12:49] Asahi
    Tsuki-san!
[12:52] Tsuki
    That looks very nice.
SIGN    Yuki Yuki Yuki
[12:56] Asahi
    What're those?
[12:58] Tsuki
    One of those pills will kill
    someone in ten seconds.
[13:04] Tsuki
    I thought you might have someone
    you'd want to feed them to.
[13:08] Asahi
    But... Yuki-oneechan is...
[13:11] Tsuki
    The person who murdered your parents.
[13:28] (Flashback) Asahi
    Mom?
[13:35] (Flashback) Mom
    Ready? Do it just like I taught you, okay?
[13:59] (Flashback) Parents
    Janome isn't here! I swear!
[14:02] (Flashback) Parents
    We just give him a portion of our profits!
[14:07] (Flashback) Parents
    We have no way of knowing where he could be!
[14:10] (Flashback) Sawa
    If you don't, then you're of no use to me.
[14:13] (Flashback) Dad
    Damn it...
[14:38] (Flashback) Elena
    What's the holdup? Let's get out of here.
[14:41] (Flashback) Tsuki
    We shouldn't stick around long.
[14:42] (Flashback) Sawa
    Go on ahead. I'll catch up soon.
[14:47] Asahi
    Onee-chan killed my mom and dad...
[14:52] Tsuki
    Don't you think she might be raising
    you so you'll kill her one day?
[14:57] Tsuki
    So that you can get revenge, in other words.
[15:00] Tsuki
    That sounds just like her, really.
[15:05] Asahi
    I tried the other day... but it didn't work.
[15:13] (Flashback) Sawa
    You need to strike where
    you'll do the most damage.
[15:18] (Flashback) Sawa
    And you need to wait...
    until I'm more vulnerable.
[15:28] Tsuki
    You're going to make her wish come true,
    and you've got my support.
[15:34] Tsuki
    That's why I want you to have this.
[15:38] Asahi
    Tsuki-san, do you hate Onee-chan?
[15:41] Tsuki
    Not at all. I love her, in fact.
[15:44] Tsuki
    She's stronger—and in more
    danger—than anyone I know.
[15:47] Tsuki
    It makes her hard to leave alone.
[15:50] Tsuki
    You don't need to understand.
    Just remember this.
[15:55] Tsuki
    It's very hard to live a lie. But...
[15:59] Treasurer
    What are you doing?
[16:02] Sawa
    I need you to answer my questions.
[16:05] Sawa
    Ten years ago, a mountain town in Aomori
    was slaughtered and burnt down.
[16:11] Treasurer
    The Karasumori village, right?
[16:13] Treasurer
    And you're from there...
[16:17] Sawa
    There are no records of
    what happened anywhere.
[16:21] Treasurer
    They wanted to keep the power of the
    Karasumori clan's blue blood a secret.
[16:26] Treasurer
    The only ones who know are me,
    Yoshinobu-sama, Kuzuhara-san,
[16:31] Treasurer
    Makoto Tsukishiro, and Elena Hanakaze.
[16:33] Treasurer
    And...
[16:35] Sawa
    And Janome. The man
    who stole my people's power.
[16:39] Treasurer
    Right.
[16:40] Treasurer
    Janome has been able to recreate the
    blue blood's power, although imperfectly.
[16:44] Treasurer
    That's how he creates Changelings.
[16:46] Sawa
    If I had the detailed records,
    they could lead me to him.
[16:51] Sawa
    The paper trail is long gone,
    but you remember it all, don't you?
[16:55] Treasurer
    I do. But... I can't tell you.
[16:59] Sawa
    If you don't, I will kill you.
[17:04] Treasurer
    If I do, they'll kill my son.
[17:09] Treasurer
    Everything about Nue has to
    remain in the shadows...
[17:11] Treasurer
    That includes me, and everything I know.
[17:15] Treasurer
    If I break that law, it'll mean death.
[17:19] Treasurer
    They watch him with his foster family.
[17:23] Treasurer
    Yoshinobu-sama doesn't tolerate treason.
[17:26] Treasurer
    He's only five years old!
[17:28] Treasurer
    He loves watching the clouds pass by!
[17:30] Treasurer
    He never gets tired of staring up at the sky!
[17:33] Treasurer
    My life means nothing compared to his!
[17:44] Sawa
    What if I offered to protect both of you?
[17:46] Treasurer
    You'd betray Nue? Just for revenge?
[17:51] Sawa
    My entire life is for revenge.
[17:55] Sawa
    Nothing else is of any concern to me.
[18:01] Treasurer
    I can't trust you that easily.
[18:04] Treasurer
    For now, if you get on this boat
    with me, I'll consider it.
[18:12] Treasurer
    And if we're able to get my son back,
[18:15] Treasurer
    I'll tell you everything that you don't know.
[18:19] Sawa
    Everything... that I don't know...
[18:30] Treasurer
    We're less than five minutes
    from the harbor now.
[18:40] Treasurer
    Run!
[18:46] Elena
    I'm out of bolts.
[18:49] Elena
    I'll entertain them.
[18:50] Elena
    You take care of the big one.
[19:11] Sawa
    You, who would violate the foundation
    of what makes a man,
[19:15] Sawa
    dwell now in the blue that surges within!
[19:27] Sawa
    I will not die in a place like this!
[19:33] Sawa
    I do not pity you.
[19:35] Sawa
    Nor do I hate you.
[19:42] Sawa
    But for the sake of my
    vengeance, you must die.
[19:57] Sawa
    Birds live to fly
[19:59] Sawa
    In pursuit of flight, they harm others,
    and are hurt themselves
[20:02] Sawa
    But once they are in
    the air, there is no light
[20:08] Sawa
    You can seek vengeance
    on me in the afterlife.
[20:12] Sawa
    I won't be long.
[20:18] Sawa
    I'm going to see Kyoko-san off.
[20:21] Elena
    Are you? Those weren't the orders.
[20:24] Sawa
    I think it would be for the best.
    Please notify Kuzuhara-san.
[20:30] Elena
    How exactly is this going to work, though?
[20:33] Elena
    Are you going to paddle with your hands?
[20:36] Elena
    Want me to buy you an oar?
[20:39] Sawa
    What's the meaning of this?
[20:41] Elena
    Let me demonstrate.
[20:49] Elena
    Your son has already died,
    so you can meet him soon.
[20:55] Treasurer
    Even my son?
[20:57] Treasurer
    You'll... pay...
[21:12] Sawa
    Why'd you kill her?!
