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?!
