The Case Files of Jeweler Richard
One night, a college student with a strong sense of justice, Seigi Nakata, saved a gorgeous foreigner, Richard, who was being harassed by some drunks.
When Seigi found out that Richard was a jeweler, he asked for an appraisal on a ring with a shady history; one which his grandmother had kept secret until she died.
The appraisal had revealed her past, truth, and desire.
It led Seigi to work as a part-time employee for Richard’s jewelry store, the "Jewelry Etranger" in Ginza.
While solving various "mysteries", the relationship between Richard and Seigi gradually changes.

Hero of justice, huh?
[04:06] Richard
What did you want to discuss?
[04:09] Seigi
Well... You see, I'd like you to appraise a ring.
[04:16] Richard
It seems to be a pink sapphire.
[04:18] Seigi
Huh? You can tell just by looking at it?
[04:21] Richard
To a certain degree.
[04:22] Seigi
That ring was my grandmother's.
[04:26] Seigi
She claimed it was fake,
[04:30] Seigi
but I've always wanted to
have it appraised by an expert.
[04:38] Richard
But you've never looked into it before now?
[04:41] Richard
Anyone could've assessed it for you.
[04:44] Seigi
I know, but I've been busy with exams
since my grandmother died.
[04:50] Richard
Normally, you wouldn't casually
entrust someone you've just met
[04:53] Richard
with something so valuable.
[04:58] Richard
If I were a bad person trying
to take your ring from you,
[05:04] Richard
you'd never see your precious keepsake again.
[05:11] Richard
What's so funny?
[05:13] Seigi
Just that a genuinely bad person
wouldn't bother telling me that.
[05:18] Seigi
I really would like to know about the stone.

The jewel you asked me to take
a look at is most uncommon.
[08:06] Richard
Are you aware that this ring may be stolen?
[08:21] Seigi
You're incredible!
[08:22] Seigi
You're the real deal!
[08:24] Seigi
Incredible! Truly incredible!
[08:30] Richard
Please quiet down.
[08:34] Seigi
I'm sorry for being disingenuous.
[08:37] Richard
Could you explain?
[08:40] Seigi
Yes. As you said, this ring was stolen.
[08:45] Seigi
My grandmother was a pickpocket.
[08:49] Seigi
She was what people call
a single mother nowadays,
[08:53] Seigi
and there was nowhere a woman could
do honest work while raising a child alone.
[08:58] Seigi
She became a pickpocket in order to survive.
[09:14] Seigi
But that ring alone...
[09:34] Seigi
The next day, the woman who owned
the ring jumped in front of a train.
[09:40] Seigi
My grandmother heard she survived,
[09:43] Seigi
and while running home to get
the ring so she could return it...
[09:48] Seigi
She was arrested.
[09:53] Seigi
My grandmother kept this ring
until the day she died.
[09:57] Seigi
I've always wondered why
she never got rid of it.
[10:02] Seigi
I think she decided that holding on to it
[10:05] Seigi
would be her cross to carry.
[10:09] Seigi
But this way, my grandmother will
never be able to rest in peace.
[10:13] Seigi
So I investigated the incident by
looking through old newspapers,
[10:18] Seigi
but that turned up nothing.
[10:20] Seigi
And if I took it to a big store,
my mother might be notified.
[10:25] Richard
Does your mother not know about the ring?
[10:29] Seigi
I'm the only one who does.
[10:31] Seigi
Hiromi...
[10:33] Seigi
My mother resents my grandmother
more than anyone.
[10:38] Seigi
I... I want to end this for her.
[10:42] Seigi
If you found out the ring was stolen,
[10:44] Seigi
then that means there's some
record of a transaction, right?
[10:48] Richard
Records involving quality items
[10:50] Richard
stick around for a long time,

[10:53] Seigi
Please. I want you to find

[10:57] Seigi
I'm determined to return it.

There's someone...
[11:08] Richard
I'd like you to meet in Kobe.

about you over the phone.

You know who I am, don't you?
[13:11] Seigi
Yes.
[13:15] Seigi
I'd like to return this ring.
[13:29] Tae
Before that, would you listen to my story?
[13:34] Tae
At the time, I'd just turned twenty.
[13:38] Tae
For the sake of my family's debt,
[13:40] Tae
I was to be wed off in a
marriage of convenience.
[13:45] Tae
As far as I was concerned,
that ring was a collar and chain.
[14:01] Tae
I felt as though someone had
opened the door to my cage.
[14:06] Tae
I wasn't sad in the slightest.
[14:09] Seigi
What?
[14:10] Tae
My father beat me when I returned home,
[14:14] Tae
but still, I wasn't sad.
[14:16] Tae
Even I was struck by my
disobedience to my parents.
[14:20] Tae
More so than my entire family's unhappiness
at the engagement falling through,
[14:25] Tae
I couldn't bear my own unhappiness.
[14:29] Tae
I didn't see the point in living anymore.
[14:35] Tae
They said it was a miracle I survived,
[14:38] Tae
but the engagement was called off,
[14:41] Tae
and I was forced into a
cramped hospital room.
[14:47] Tae
But you know,
[14:48] Tae
the cute doctor with the western accent
who looked after me there took a liking to me.
[14:55] Tae
You never know what
life holds in store for you.
[15:05] Tae
Nakata-san.
[15:08] Tae
You should hold on to this.
[15:11] Seigi
But my grandmother...
[15:14] Tae
I've never once resented her.
[15:18] Tae
In that age, both your grandmother
and I were powerless.
[15:24] Tae
Could you deliver a message
to her on my behalf?
[15:28] Tae
"Thank you."
[15:30] Tae
"Let go of the burden you've carried
so long and rest in peace."
[15:38] Tae
Nakata-san, please continue
to help those in need,
[15:44] Tae
just as you helped Richard-san.
[15:55] Richard
I've known Miyashita-sama's
family for several years.
[15:59] Richard
I'd previously asked about the jewel
from the old woman's unfortunate life.
[16:06] Seigi
Then... you knew when you saw the ring?
[16:10] Richard
At first I wasn't certain,
[16:12] Richard
but according to the specialist
I asked to valuate it,
[16:16] Richard
the cut matched Miyashita-sama's description.
[16:19] Richard
From the outset, as a padparadscha
ring from that era in Japan...
[16:23] Richard
I thought it must be it.
[16:25] Seigi
Padparadscha?
[16:28] Richard
Sapphires of a distinctive orange-tinted
pink are called padparadscha.
[16:33] Richard
In Sinhalese, it means "lotus flower."
[16:37] Seigi
If you knew all of that, then why...
[16:39] Richard
Because, at the time, I didn't know
what your true motive was.
[16:44] Seigi
My motive?
[16:45] Richard
Yes. It was nothing like what I expected.
[16:51] (Flashback) Seigi
I want you to find the
original owner of this ring.
[16:54] Richard
Stolen goods are typically
involved in fraud or resale,
[16:59] Richard
but I couldn't have predicted the
desires of a foolishly kind person.
[17:09] Seigi
Yet in the end, I couldn't return it.
[17:12] Seigi
She wouldn't accept it.
[17:16] Seigi
Will... she never forgive her?
[17:24] Richard
Perhaps what your
grandmother did wasn't right.
[17:31] Richard
But I believe she did it to protect
her precious daughter.
[17:36] Richard
Is that desire not admirable?
[17:43] Richard
The pink sapphire represents
justice for the weak.
[17:49] Seigi
Justice?
[17:52] (Flashback) Seigi
Grandma, why do people laugh
at me for helping those in need?
[17:56] Bully
A real hero of justice!
[17:59] Bully
Goody two-shoes!
[18:04] (Flashback) Grandma
I'm proud of you, Seigi.
[18:12] Richard
I believe it's a jewel befitting
of your grandmother.
[18:16] Richard
You should hold on to it.
[18:24] Seigi
Grandma...
[18:34] Seigi
Thank you for today.
[18:41] Richard
Take this.
[18:42] Seigi
What is it?
[18:44] Richard
Kansai's most popular pork buns.
[18:46] Seigi
What?
[18:47] Seigi
I can't accept this.
[18:49] Richard
I'm not insisting that you eat them alone.
[18:52] Richard
Why not return to your parents' home?
[18:54] Seigi
What?
[18:55] Richard
You still have things to discuss.
[18:57] Richard
Probably more than you realize.
[19:01] Richard
Now then, I'll be going.
[19:12] Seigi
Hey, Hiromi? I'm coming over today.
[19:15] Hiromi
Sure, but I don't have anything here.
[19:18] Seigi
That's okay.
[19:20] Seigi
Listen... Was Grandma the one who named me?
[19:25] Hiromi
Where did that come from?
[19:27] Seigi
Just wondering.
[19:29] Hiromi
It wasn't just your grandma.
[19:32] Hiromi
I thought it was nice, too.
[19:38] Seigi
I see.
[19:57] Richard
Those are the results of my valuation.
[20:06] Seigi
Thank you.
[20:07] Richard
If you'd like, I'd be willing
to buy that padparadscha.
[20:13] Seigi
No, thank you. I have no
intention of letting that ring go.
[20:16] Richard
I see. I expected as much.
[20:20] Richard
Now, I have another suggestion.
[20:23] Richard
Why don't you work here?
[20:25] Seigi
Me? Work here?
[20:28] Richard
Yes. I'm planning to open a shop here.
[20:32] Richard
It would only be weekends,
[20:35] Richard
and you'd only be doing
odd jobs and cleaning.
[20:37] Richard
What do you think?
[20:40] Seigi
Why me? I'm an amateur.
[20:43] Richard
I know this is personal,
[20:45] Richard
but my grandmother was from the land
that produced the padparadscha,
[20:48] Richard
Ratnapura in Sri Lanka.
[20:51] Seigi
My grandmother's ring was made
[20:52] Seigi
with a gemstone from your
grandmother's homeland?
[20:56] Richard
Yes. It's rather intriguing.
[21:00] Richard
A gemstone mined in Sri Lanka was
polished in Europe and ended up in Japan.
[21:06] Richard
The Japanese might say this
must be some sort of fate.
[21:12] Richard
So, what do you say?
[21:13] Seigi
I'd love to!
[21:24] Seigi
It's so good! Did you make this?
[21:27] Richard
This is real royal milk tea.
[21:30] Richard
The rest is counterfeit.
[21:35] Seigi
Come to think of it, this might be
the first time I've seen you drink
[21:39] Seigi
anything but water, Richard-san.
[21:41] Richard
Guests aside, I'm not terribly accustomed
[21:45] Richard
to being called "Richard-san"
by my associates.
[21:49] Seigi
Then, de... de Vul... d-de Vul...
[21:53] Richard
Just call me Richard.
[21:54] Seigi
What? No honorific?
[21:56] Richard
It's fine.
[22:01] Seigi
Richard it is, then.
[22:06] Richard
I look forward to working with you, Seigi.

[06:43] Seigi
She was acting a little strange.
[06:46] Richard
Her request was also a little unusual.
[06:49] Seigi
Huh?
[06:50] Ricahrd
It's rare for someone to ask if a
gemstone has been heated or not.
[06:55] Seigi
What's this about heating?
[06:57] Ricahrd
Heat treatment.
[07:00] Richard
In the case of rubies and sapphires,
[07:02] Richard
heating them brightens their color.
[07:05] Seigi
Really? So there's a chemical reaction.
[07:08] Richard
Yes. Now it's time for a little quiz.
[07:12] Richard
Between a drably colored unheated ruby
and a clear red heated ruby,
[07:19] Richard
which is more valuable?
[07:22] Seigi
This one's prettier, but... the unheated one?
[07:26] Ricahrd
Too bad.
[07:27] Seigi
What?
[07:29] Richard
Its beauty is what matters.
[07:31] Richard
Most rubies on the market are heated.
[07:34] Seigi
Really?
[07:36] Richard
That said, when it comes
to pigeon blood rubies,
[07:39] Richard
the natural, unheated gemstones
are more expensive.
[07:42] Richard
However, suppose a ruby was
discovered after a death in your family.
[07:47] Richard
Would you be worried about whether
or not it had been heat-treated?
[07:50] Seigi
No. It's still a valuable gemstone.
[07:54] Richard
That's right.
[07:57] Richard
It's rare for people to care,
[07:59] Richard
and even rarer for them to come ask about it.
[08:04] Seigi
Then why did Akashi-san?
[08:07] Richard
In general, people are concerned
about the value of gemstones
[08:11] Richard
when numbers are more
important than the memories.
[08:16] Seigi
Numbers, huh?
[08:21] Seigi
What's wrong with it?
[08:25] Shoko
Seigi-kun, good morning.
[08:27] Seigi
Good morning, Tanimoto-san.
[08:31] Shoko
That's a mineral encyclopedia, isn't it?
[08:34] Shoko
Are you into gemstones, Seigi-kun?
[08:37] Seigi
I work part-time at a jeweler's.
Right now, I'm researching heating.
[08:43] Seigi
Not that you'd care anything about that...
[08:46] Shoko
Heating what kind of gemstone?
[08:47] Seigi
Huh?
[08:48] Shoko
Beryl? Quartz? Or corundum?
[08:52] Seigi
Um, uh... Rubies.
[08:54] Shoko
Corundum, then.
[08:57] Shoko
Rubies and sapphires are called
corundum in mineralogy.
[09:02] Shoko
Oh, sorry!
[09:04] Shoko
I was the president of the
mineralogy club in high school.
[09:11] Shoko
It's certainly strange for someone to care
[09:13] Shoko
if a gemstone's been heated or not.
[09:15] Seigi
Really?
[09:16] Shoko
It can make a gemstone worth
ten times as much, though.
[09:19] Seigi
Wow...
[09:21] Seigi
Wait, that much?
[09:23] Shoko
If they intend to sell it, it makes sense.
[09:26] Seigi
The owner said the same thing.
[09:29] Shoko
If there's anything I can do
to help, let me know.
[09:32] Seigi
I really appreciate it.
[09:34] Seigi
I'd love to learn more about gemstones,
but I don't know where to start.
[09:39] Shoko
Gemstones are great.
[09:41] Shoko
After all, every single gem is one-of-a-kind.
[09:45] Shoko
There's such romanticism to them,
regardless of grade.
[09:50] Seigi
How cool...
[09:52] Shoko
Huh?
[09:53] Seigi
Oh, nothing. You must really like them.
[09:56] Shoko
Oh, there I go again.
[09:59] Shoko
Once I start talking about
gemstones, I just can't stop.
[10:02] Shoko
Sorry.
[10:03] Seigi
For what? I'd love to hear more.
[10:07] Shoko
Really?
[10:08] Seigi
Of course.

I'm her fiancé.
[11:01] Homura
After everything that's happened,

Hired someone? You mean a detective?
[11:10] Homura
I had my reasons.

Very well.

Thank you.
[11:23] Homura
I met her exactly one year ago.
[11:27] Homura
She joined the company in the spring.
[11:28] Homura
I was drawn to how hard-working she was.
[11:32] Homura
My parents were delighted,
and we soon began discussing marriage.
[11:37] Homura
But...
[11:39] Homura
It's not working out.
We haven't gotten anywhere since then.
[11:43] Homura
She keeps losing weight,
and she's stopped smiling.
[11:49] Seigi
Maybe it's the marriage blues.
[11:54] Homura
My parents are losing their minds.
[11:56] Homura
When I ask her why,
she won't tell me anything.
[12:00] Homura
I don't know what to do.
[12:03] Seigi
But you didn't have to hire a detective.
[12:06] Homura
There was nothing else I could do!
[12:12] Homura
I'm sorry.
[12:21] Homura
Over the past month,
the only thing of interest she's done
[12:25] Homura
was visit this store.
[12:28] Homura
I thought she was having an affair with you.
[12:32] Homura
Am I mistaken?
[12:33] Seigi
You are. She just came
to have a ruby valuated.
[12:37] Homura
A ruby? You mean the brooch I gave her?
[12:42] Seigi
I don't know about that,
but I'm sure Akashi-san has her reasons.
[12:48] Homura
Akashi?
[12:49] Homura
Who is Akashi-san?
[12:56] Seigi
This woman.
[12:58] Homura
Her name is Sasu Mami.
[13:01] Seigi
Sasu?
[13:02] Homura
Yes, written with the kanji

[16:27] Mami

[16:31] Seigi
My name is Nakata Seigi,
as in "hero of justice."
[16:37] Seigi
So I couldn't just look the other way.
[16:40] Mami
Hero of justice?
[16:42] Seigi
My grandma named me.
[16:46] Seigi
And... another woman who's sort
of like a grandmother to me
[16:51] Seigi
told me to be the kind of person
who helps those in need.
[16:56] Mami
What does that mean?
[17:00] Mami
My parents raised me
not to be a bother to others
[17:05] Mami
or draw unnecessary attention to myself.
[17:09] Mami
Have a normal wedding, have kids,
raise them normally, and grow old.
[17:15] Mami
They told me that was
the path to an easy life.
[17:20] Mami
I always wanted to follow
that path, but I can't...
[17:24] Mami
even though Homura-san
is such a good man.
[17:27] Seigi
Huh?
[17:29] Mami
The person I can't forget...
is a woman. Akashi Tatsuki.
[17:35] Mami
We lived together for seven years,
up until last year.
[17:40] Seigi
So that's what this is about.
[17:42] Mami
It's not normal at all, is it?
[17:45] Seigi
So Akashi was her name.
[17:49] Seigi
In that case, why did you decide
to marry Homura-san?
[17:53] Mami
Living with Tatsuki was hard,
[17:55] Mami
like growing a vegetable garden
in the middle of the desert.
[18:00] Mami
I wondered why I had to endure
so much hardship that others didn't.
[18:06] Seigi
So that's what you meant by a desert...
[18:10] Mami
When I finally decided I wanted
a normal life, I met Homura-san.
[18:15] Mami
But I couldn't sleep, and eventually,
I couldn't even keep food down.
[18:22] Mami
Our bodies are honest, aren't they?
[18:24] Seigi
There's nothing wrong with not
forcing yourself to get married.
[18:28] Mami
There is.
[18:30] Mami
I admire women who live
happy, ordinary lives.
[18:34] Mami
I hate not being one

[19:17] Homura

Here are the results of your valuation.
[19:37] Richard
It's 3.05 carats, triple A grade,
originating from Mogok, Myanmar.
[19:43] Richard
It's an exceptional unheated gemstone.
I'd value it around ten million yen.
[19:47] Seigi
Ten mill—
[19:51] Mami
I see.
[19:53] Seigi
So... why was it that you really wanted
to know if it had been heated or not?
[19:57] Mami
If it was heated, I would marry him.
[20:00] Mami
If not, I would rethink our engagement.
[20:03] Seigi
Huh?
[20:05] Seigi
What? Not the other way around?
[20:08] Mami
I wish he hadn't cared about me.
[20:12] Mami
This was supposed to be a rebirth for me.
[20:14] Mami
But with the wedding approaching,
I got scared for the first time.
[20:17] Mami
I was a mess.
[20:20] Mami
I think I wanted someone to tell me that.

Gemstones are mirrors
that reflect their owners.
[20:27] Richard
They'd never lead you to
an answer you didn't desire.
[20:31] Richard
Perhaps you already had your answer
when you came here, Sasu-sama.
[20:37] Mami
And I'm the only one who didn't know?
[20:40] Richard
Everyone has their own world.
[20:44] Richard
It's a matter of whether we deny them
[20:46] Richard
or choose to nurture them as our own.
[20:56] Mami
I'll return the brooch to Homura-san.
[21:04] Mami
This is good. Thank you.
[21:12] Seigi
It must be hard for someone
like Mami-san to live in Japan.
[21:18] Richard
Making generalizations by saying
"people like her" is offensive.
[21:24] Seigi
Right, our agreement...
[21:26] Seigi
"You will exhibit no prejudice,
nor speak in a discriminatory manner."
[21:31] Richard
Seigi, how are gemstones measured?
[21:34] Seigi
In carats.
[21:35] Richard
Correct.
[21:37] Richard
Of course, it's possible to convert
each carat into 0.2 grams,
[21:42] Richard
but I think a world with many
different metrics and measures
[21:49] Richard
is easier to live in,
more beautiful, and much richer.

I'm going to see our next customer.

So it's similar to how cats can have white fur
even if they're of different breeds?
[09:47] Richard
Good for you.
[09:49] Richard
When I was your age, I thought someone
had drawn the effect with a white pen.
[09:57] Seigi
Do you like any of these gems?
[10:03] Hajime
I want one just like this one.
[10:06] Hajime
There's no point if it's different.
[10:12] Hajime
If Milk were here,
this wouldn't be happening...
[10:15] Seigi
Milk?
[10:17] Hajime
Never mind.
[10:19] Richard
Is that a cat's name?
[10:23] Seigi
Come to think of it, on his bag...
[10:25] Richard
He's also looking for a cat's eye.
[10:30] Richard
English uses the same phrase
to refer to an actual cat's eye.
[10:32] Seigi
Cats have two eyes.
[10:35] Seigi
Is that why you need a matching stone?
[10:40] Richard
Is it a cat with eyes the color
of chrysoberyl cat's eyes?
[10:49] Seigi
Does the reason you came here have
something to do with that cat, Hajime-kun?
[10:55] Seigi
You don't have to tell us
if you don't want to.
[10:57] Seigi
But when I see a troubled customer,
I want to help them.
[11:09] Hajime
Milk was a stray cat.
[11:13] Hajime
We adopted him when I began
attending grade school.
[11:18] Hajime
Milk has strange powers.
[11:26] Hajime
He once kept us from going on a drive.
SIGN Breaking News: Mountain Cliff Collapses,
Earth Spilling Into Roadway
[11:32] Hajime
While watching the news,
we saw that there'd been a landslide
[11:35] Hajime
on one of the roads we'd planned on driving.
[11:37] Hajime
There was also the time
Milk kept biting Dad's arm.
[11:43] Hajime
When we went to the hospital,
they discovered he was sick.
[11:47] Hajime
Even Mom and Dad said Milk saved us.
[11:52] Seigi
So it's a cat that can predict bad things.
[11:56] Hajime
Yeah.
[11:57] Hajime
Milk always stares at us
when we leave the house.
[12:04] Hajime
Mom says he's watching over us.
[12:09] Hajime
But Milk is gone now,
and my mom is in the hospital.
[12:15] Seigi
What?
[12:16] Hajime
She's going to have a baby.
[12:20] Hajime
So we need his protection.
[12:23] Hajime
Dad gave me this gemstone
to take Milk's place, but...
[12:30] Richard
Earlier, you said that Milk was gone.
[12:33] Richard
How did that come to pass?
[12:41] Hajime
My dad...
[12:48] (Flashback) Yasaka
Milk? He must be around here somewhere.
[12:52] (Flashback) Yasaka
I'm sure he'll come back soon enough.
[12:56] Hajime
If there was some reason for it,
he could tell me.
[12:59] Hajime
He thinks I can't be of any help.
[13:04] Hajime
He's a liar...
[13:06] Hajime
I hate him!
[13:23] Hajime
Excuse me.
[13:29] Richard
I believe I understand now.
[13:32] Richard
You're looking for a second gemstone
to stand in for Milk, yes?
[13:37] Hajime
That's right. I won't rely on my dad.
[13:41] Hajime
I have to protect my family.
[13:48] Seigi
Having a dad like that is hard.
[13:52] Seigi
He doesn't know what he did was wrong.
[13:56] Seigi
He doesn't know how he's hurting you.
[14:01] Seigi
He's the worst.
[14:04] Seigi
That kind of parent... is the worst.
[14:09] Richard
Seigi?
[14:12] Hajime
You have no right to say that!
[14:15] Hajime
What do you know?
[14:18] Hajime
My dad is really busy!
[14:20] Hajime
He just went crazy from working too hard!
[14:24] Hajime
Maybe he took Milk away because he was dying,
[14:28] Hajime
and he didn't want Mom to worry about it!
[14:33] Hajime
You jerk!
[14:43] Seigi
Sorry.
[14:46] Richard
Is this a gemstone of good or bad
fortune for you, Hajime-sama?
[14:54] Richard
Since ancient times, cat's eyes have
been prized as protective gemstones.
[14:59] Richard
They were thought to be
gemstones of misfortune in Europe,
[15:03] Richard
but in Japan and the rest of Asia,
they're believed to bring good luck.
[15:10] Richard
Just as you're searching for a
gemstone to protect your family,
[15:14] Richard
perhaps your family has imbued
this one with their love for you.
[15:21] Seigi
Gemstones are mirrors
that reflect their owners.
[15:24] Seigi
They understand how we feel.
[15:28] Richard
No matter the place or time,
[15:29] Richard
there isn't anyone who gives a protective
charm to someone they don't care about.
[15:34] Richard
Perhaps it would be best to
speak with your father again.
[15:49] Yasaka
Hajime!
[15:52] Hajime
Dad?
[15:53] Seigi
What? Your dad?
[15:55] Hajime
How?
[15:57] Yasaka
Richard-san called me.
[16:00] Yasaka
Richard-san, I'm so sorry.
[16:03] Richard
Yasaka-sama purchased
that chrysoberyl cat's eye.
[16:09] Richard
I assumed Hajime-sama must be his son.
[16:14] Yasaka
Hajime.
[16:15] Yasaka
I can't believe you took that
out of the house and did all this.
[16:19] Hajime
But Milk...
[16:20] Yasaka
You're bothering Richard-san and his shop!
[16:25] Yasaka
Come on. Let's go, Hajime.
[16:32] Seigi
Excuse me.
[16:34] Seigi
Please hear Hajime-kun out.
[16:37] Yasaka
What?
[16:39] Hajime
It's fine.
[16:41] Hajime
Dad's always like this.
[16:44] Hajime
He doesn't tell me anything,
and he doesn't listen to me.
[16:51] Yasaka
Hajime...
[17:02] Richard
Are you familiar with a condition
called toxoplasmosis?
[17:06] Hajime
No.
[17:07] Richard
Stray cats carry a parasite
called toxoplasma.
[17:12] Richard
It can make pregnant women sick
if they come in contact with it.
[17:17] Hajima
It's because Milk was a stray cat?
[17:20] Yasaka
Yeah, so I'm having a secretary from
my office take care of him to be safe.
[17:27] Hajime
Why didn't you tell me?
[17:30] Yasaka
I planned on bringing him back home
as soon as the baby was born.
[17:34] Hajime
So you lied to me?
[17:36] Yasaka
I didn't tell you the truth because
I thought it would worry you.
[17:41] Hajime
Huh?
[17:42] Yasaka
But it seems I only made you worry more.
[17:47] Yasaka
I'm sorry, Hajime.
[17:55] Yasaka
Did you ask Richard-san about this gemstone?
[17:58] Richard
Chrysoberyl cat's eyes
come in a variety of colors,
[18:02] Richard
but there is a standard for
particularly high-quality gemstones.
[18:07] Richard
The center band must be
a clear, beautiful white.
[18:11] Richard
And the rest of the stone must
be a golden honey color.
[18:16] Richard
We call this particular kind of stone
a "honey and milk" cat's eye.
[18:22] Hajime
Honey and milk...
[18:24] Yasaka
Honey milk is your favorite, isn't it?
[18:28] Yasaka
I bought it because I thought it would
protect you and make you happy.
[18:38] Hajime
Dad...
[18:40] Hajime
I have a request.
[18:42] Yasaka
What is it, Hajime?
[18:44] Hajime
Promise you won't lie anymore.
[18:50] Yasaka
All right. I promise.
[18:54] Yasaka
I won't lie anymore.
[19:00] Hajime
Pinky promise, hope to die.
[19:02] Hajime
Swallow ten million needles if you lie.
[19:07] Yasaka
What? Ten million needles?
[19:09] Hajime
It's fine as long as you don't lie.
Should be easy, right?
[19:15] Hajime
This is a real, super-duper promise, okay?
[19:18] Yasaka
Yeah, super-duper.
[19:20] Hajime
You super promise?
[19:21] Yasaka
I super promise.
[19:27] Seigi
Anyway, I'm surprised you knew all that.
[19:30] Seigi
Did you just happen to remember?
[19:32] Richard
What are you talking about?
[19:35] Seigi
The gemstone you sold and the buyer.
[19:37] Richard
Of course I remember.
[19:39] Seigi
But not every single one, right?
[19:42] Seigi
You don't mean...
[19:45] Richard
That honey and milk cat's eye is
from Sri Lanka, 36.42 carats.
[19:50] Richard
It was the largest and most beautiful
chrysoberyl cat's eye I've ever handled.
[19:58] Seigi
I underestimated you.
[20:02] Seigi
Didn't he say he bought that
gemstone for Hajime-kun?
[20:06] Seigi
What's it worth? Around a million yen?
[20:09] Richard
More than ten million.
[20:11] Seigi
T-Ten million?!
[20:14] Richard
Perhaps he wanted to leave
something for his son
[20:16] Richard
just in case something happened.
[20:20] Seigi
A gemstone?
[20:21] Richard
You're familiar with asset
management, aren't you?
[20:27] Seigi
Of course.
[20:28] Richard
Small, light, portable at a moment's notice,
[20:32] Richard
and exchangeable for cash in any country.
[20:34] Richard
Rare gemstones are valuable.
[20:40] Seigi
The mineral show...
[20:42] Richard
Are you interested in mineral shows?
[20:47] Seigi
Well, a little.
[20:49] Richard
In European culture, accessories are
passed down from generation to generation.
[20:53] Seigi
Was it like that for you, too?
[20:56] Richard
I suppose.
[20:57] Seigi
You can feel the parent's love in a gemstone
passed down from parent to child.
[21:03] Seigi
It's a lovely thing.
[21:07] Richard
Love and compatibility are different.
SIGN Milk
[21:13] Richard
Seigi, when you get the chance,
please buy a special cheesecake.
[21:20] Richard
I was very much looking
forward to enjoying it.
[21:25] Richard
Thanks in advance.
[21:28] Richard
By the way, you said you'd make
something with the leftover milk.
[21:33] Seigi
Oh, you mean the milk jelly?
[21:36] Richard
What kind of food is milk jelly?
[21:43] Seigi
You really are the king of sweets.
You can't not try it.
[21:47] Richard
Who's the king of sweets?
[21:50] Seigi
There's not much left here,
so I'll buy some more.
[21:55] Richard
You'll never get a raise at this rate.
[21:59] Richard
I prefer pudding.
[22:01] Seigi
Huh?

Huh?
[00:58] Seigi
He's a man. His name is Richard.
[01:02] Seigi
Richard Ranashinha de Vulpian.
[01:05] Shimo
Who asked for his full name?
[01:08] Seigi
Didn't I tell you my boss was a man?
[01:11] Shimo
No! And who wouldn't assume it's a woman
when you said they like sweets?
[01:15] Seigi
Yeah, okay. Sorry.
[01:18] Shimo
There must have been other

[01:20] Shimo

Well, I guess...
[01:28] Seigi
He's like a living jewel.
SIGN Episode 4
The Fighting Garnet
[03:12] Seigi
Does that red bean jelly
go with royal milk tea?
[03:19] Richard
You underestimate royal milk tea.
[03:25] Seigi
You're a royal milk tea fanatic...
[03:28] Richard
Today's client, Yamamoto-sama,
will be arriving soon.
[03:32] Richard
Please prepare for her arrival.
[03:33] Seigi
Got it. She's coming to look
at engagement rings, right?
[03:37] Richard
Yes. She's requested a garnet.
[03:40] Seigi
That's unusual.
[03:42] Seigi
I thought engagements rings used diamonds.
[03:46] Richard
Why do you think that?
[03:49] Seigi
Why? Well, I've never really thought about it...
[03:53] Seigi
Why do engagement rings use diamonds?
[03:59] Richard
Think about it.
[04:04] Yamamoto
I'm Yamamoto. I called yesterday
to make an appointment.
[04:08] Seigi
We've been expecting you. Please come in.
[04:20] Seigi
Make yourself comfortable.
[04:22] Yamamoto
Thank you.
[04:29] Richard
Thank you for waiting.
[04:31] Richard
I'm the owner,
Richard Ranashinha de Vulpian.
[04:40] Yamamoto
I'm sorry for staring...
[04:42] Yamamoto
I've never seen someone with such
a beautiful face. I was surprised.
[04:49] Seigi
I was surprised when I first met him, too.
[04:51] Yamamoto
Really?
[04:52] Seigi
They say you grow tired of a
pretty face after three days.
[04:57] Seigi
But it's been two months
since I started working here,
[05:00] Seigi
and I think he gets prettier every day.
[05:02] Seigi
He still makes my heart flutter.
[05:06] Richard
Seigi, please fetch our guest some tea.
[05:08] Seigi
Huh? Oh, certainly.
[05:10] Seigi
I'll bring some right away.
[05:12] Richard
You said you were looking for
a garnet for an engagement ring,
[05:17] Richard
so I prepared several.
[05:19] Yamamoto
Wow...
[05:21] Yamamoto
These are all garnets?
[05:24] Richard
"Garnet" is the generic term for a group
of minerals with the same structure.
[05:29] Richard
Different compositions produce
a variety of colors and luster,
[05:33] Richard
and each has a different name.
[05:34] Richard
Because the most common red garnet
[05:38] Richard
bears a resemblance to the fruit, in Japan...
[05:42] Yamamoto
They're called pomegranate gemstones.
[05:44] Yamamoto
I did my homework.
[05:46] Richard
That's correct.
[05:48] Yamamoto
There really are all kinds of colors.
[05:52] Yamamoto
Is this one a tsavorite?
[05:55] Richard
No, this is a demantoid garnet.
[06:00] Richard
This is a tsavorite.
[06:03] Yamamoto
I can't tell them apart at all...
[06:05] Yamamoto
My quick search online didn't get me very far.
[06:11] Richard
You're welcome to pick
them up and look at them.
[06:13] Yamato
May I?
[06:15] Richard
But of course.
[06:16] Yamamoto
In that case, I think I will.
[06:23] Yamamoto
Even garnets are wonderful
when you see them in person.
[06:27] Seigi
"Even"?
[06:33] Yamamoto
This is delicious.
[06:34] Yamamoto
This isn't store-bought, is it?
[06:37] Seigi
No. I make it in the kitchen here.
[06:40] Yamamoto
My mother loves this stuff.
She drinks it all the time.
[06:43] Yamamoto
But I'm not sure hers is this good.
[06:46] Richard
We've also prepared some
macarons to go with the tea.
[06:50] Richard
Please choose whichever ones you'd like.
[06:53] Yamamoto
Then I'll take this one.
[06:55] Seigi
Very well.
[06:58] Yamamoto
I wish picking a stone for a ring
was as easy as picking a macaron...
[07:02] Richard
Don't worry.
[07:04] Richard
If you'd like, I can find some to fit
your budget for our next meeting.
[07:10] Yamamoto
My budget? You're right...
[07:14] Yamamoto
I'll ask my boyfriend.
[07:16] Seigi
Is your boyfriend a coworker of yours?
[07:19] Seigi
It's amazing you both work
for a foreign company.
[07:22] Seigi
Are you fluent in English?
[07:26] Richard
Seigi.
[07:27] Yamamoto
No... I wouldn't say that.
[07:31] Yamamoto
Speaking of, I'm surprised.
[07:33] Yamamoto
Your Japanese is great, Richard-san.
[07:36] Yamamoto
Were you born and raised here?
[07:39] Richard
In England, actually.
[07:41] Yamamoto
Oh? Is de Vulpian an English name?
[07:45] Richard
French. It's my mother's name.
[07:49] Yamamoto
That's kind of cool.
[07:52] Seigi
France and England...
[07:54] Seigi
So that's how this beauty was born.
[07:59] Seigi
Don't you think he's pretty
even when he's angry?
[08:11] Richard
I've been wondering...
[08:13] Richard
Have you ever been burned as
a result of your careless speech?
[08:17] Seigi
Have I ever been burned
by my careless speech?
[08:21] Seigi
No.
[08:25] Richard
Thank you.
[08:27] Richard
I believe I've gotten a good
grasp on your outlook.
[08:39] Seigi
Why is he mad?
[08:44] Seigi
When you said outcrops,
you meant geological formations?
[08:47] Shoko
Yeah. They look like shortcake, don't they?
[08:49] Seigi
Yeah.
[08:51] Seigi
You can't get diamonds here.
[08:53] Shoko
Natural diamonds have previously
been discovered even here in Japan.
[08:58] Seigi
What?
[08:59] Seigi
So you can get them in Japan?
[09:01] Shoko
Only tiny amounts, though.
[09:03] Shoko
Anyway, what's this about diamonds?
[09:06] Seigi
Well, I've been thinking about why
engagement rings are always diamonds.
[09:11] Shoko
That's because of the power of marketing.
[09:14] Seigi
Marketing?
[09:15] Shoko
Yeah.
[09:16] Shoko
Unlike other gemstones,
a single company has a monopoly
[09:20] Shoko
on their mining, distribution,
processing, and sale.
[09:26] Shoko
That company fabricated
the value of diamonds.
[09:30] Seigi
Fabricated their value?
[09:31] Shoko
Yup.
[09:32] Shoko
"Only diamonds are suitable for important
life events like celebrating a wedding."
[09:39] Shoko
"Diamonds are forever."
[09:43] Seigi
What? Really?
[09:46] Seigi
Richard?
[09:48] Seigi
Sorry. It's my boss.

[09:52] Richard

You are a ball of charm.
[10:04] Richard

[10:11] Seigi
What is this?
[10:13] Shoko
What's wrong, Seigi-kun?
[10:15] Seigi
O-Oh, nothing.
[10:17] Seigi
When should we go see the outcroppings?
[10:20] Shoko
Well, let me see...
[10:22] Shoko
I'm free most weekends.
[10:24] Shoko
What about you?
[10:34] Seigi
Richard, do you have a minute?
[10:37] Richard
What is it?
[10:39] Seigi
It's about the message
you sent me the other day.
[10:42] Richard
What about it?
[10:44] Seigi
It's, uh... nothing.
[10:48] Richard
I see.
[11:00] Richard
These are rhodolite garnets.
[11:03] Richard
I thought you might like them.
[11:04] Yamamoto
I guess even garnets can
be as beautiful as rubies!
[11:09] Yamamoto
Even garnets are wonderful.
[11:12] Seigi
Even garnets...?
[11:14] Richard
Garnets are said to be one of
the world's oldest gemstones.
[11:20] Richard
These stones formed in the earth
over 100 million years ago.
[11:25] Yamamoto
That long ago?
[11:26] Richard
Yes.
[11:27] Seigi
They're more affordable than rubies.
[11:30] Seigi
I think a garnet is the perfect
match for you, Yamamoto-sama.
[11:34] Seigi
It's like the gemstone version of you.
[11:45] Yamamoto
I know I'm not a ruby.
[11:47] Seigi
Huh?
[11:49] Yamamoto
Listen... Can I ask you something?
[11:53] Richard
Anything.
[11:54] Yamamoto
Have you ever benefited from your looks?
[11:57] Yamamoto
They say beautiful women
have an advantage, right?
[11:59] Yamamoto
So the same must be true
for handsome men, right?
[12:02] Richard
I'm flattered if you're
complimenting my appearance,
[12:06] Richard
but it's caused more harm than good.
[12:11] Yamamoto
As someone who isn't beautiful, I can
definitely say pretty people are better off.
[12:18] Yamamoto
Aren't gemstones of undesirable
colors and shapes
[12:21] Yamamoto
used for industrial purposes
or turned into paint?
[12:25] Yamamoto
People like me are no different
from those stones.
[12:30] Richard
You're right.
[12:32] Richard
Gemstones are evaluated according

[12:43] Richard
you seek a garnet for your engagement ring.
[12:47] Richard
I sense strong conviction in you.
[12:49] Richard
Therefore, I also believe that a garnet
is the perfect gemstone for you.
[12:55] Yamamoto
And what do you know about me?
[12:59] Richard
What do I know about you, Yamamoto-sama?
[13:01] Yamamoto
Yes.
[13:02] Yamamoto
If a garnet is so perfect for me,
then what kind of person am I?
[13:06] Seigi
But that's ridiculous...
[13:08] Yamamoto
You can stay out of this.
[13:11] Richard
Yamamoto-sama...
[13:13] Richard
During the day, you work with flowers.
[13:15] Richard
You're good with your hands,
and you enjoy handicrafts.
[13:18] Richard
You live with your parents.
[13:19] Richard
And recently, something happened
that you haven't gotten over.
[13:24] Richard
How did I do?
[13:29] Yamamoto
How did you know?
[13:32] Yamamoto
I don't believe it...
[13:44] Yamamoto
My scent?
[13:45] Richard
Yes.
[13:46] Richard
You always have the smell
of fresh flowers about you,
[13:50] Richard
unlike what you'd get with perfume.
[13:53] Richard
I mean no offense, but the second
clue was the state of your hands.
[13:58] Richard
People who work with water get
chapped hands this time of year.
[14:03] Richard
Like at a flower shop, for example.
[14:07] Richard
I reasoned that you must enjoy
handicrafts based on your accessories.
[14:12] Yamamoto
How did you know I live with my parents?
[14:14] Richard
During our first meeting...
[14:17] (Flashback) Yamamoto
My mother loves this stuff.
She drinks it all the time.
[14:20] Richard
Also, statistically speaking,
[14:22] Richard
it's not unusual for a woman
your age to live at home.
[14:28] Richard
Forgive me if any of that was presumptuous.
[14:34] Yamamoto
Amazing...
[14:36] Seigi
Um... Can I ask you something?
[14:39] Yamamoto
About why I lied?
[14:42] Seigi
Yeah.
[14:43] Yamamoto
Because I'm not beautiful.
[14:45] Seigi
Uh...
[14:49] Yamamoto
I was dumped by my boyfriend of seven years.
[14:54] Yamamoto
He found a younger girlfriend.
[14:56] Yamamoto
Of course he'd prefer a younger bride.
[15:01] Seigi
So you wanted to buy a ring?
[15:04] Yamamoto
I doubt anyone will give me a ring with
a gemstone on it as long as I live,
[15:10] Yamamoto
so I thought I'd buy one for myself.
[15:13] Yamamoto
I guess you could call it retail therapy.
[15:16] Seigi
Why a garnet?
[15:19] Yamamoto
My birthday is in January.
My birthstone is garnet.
[15:25] Seigi
Ah, so that's it.
[15:28] Yamamoto
I first learned about my
birthstone in middle school.
[15:32] Yamamoto
I wasn't that happy about it.
[15:35] Yamamoto
I wondered why it couldn't
be a ruby or diamond.
[15:40] Yamamoto
My name is Mito, written with the
characters for "beautiful person."
[15:45] Seigi
Huh?
[15:46] Yamamoto
It's like a punishment, isn't it?
[15:49] Yamamoto
I wish I could've actually
been born beautiful instead.
[15:52] Seigi
Hey, I'm sure you'll find a nice guy eventually.
[15:56] Richard
Seigi.
[15:59] Yamamoto
I know my commercial value.
[16:01] Seigi
Your commercial value?
[16:03] Yamamoto
I'm not a diamond or a ruby.
[16:06] Yamamoto
And garnets signify hard work
and perseverance.
[16:10] Yamamoto
That's perfect for me.
[16:13] Richard
Yamamoto-sama.
[16:15] Richard
Gemstones stay with you longer than lovers.
[16:20] Richard
When you feel more strongly that you're
purchasing rather than choosing one,
[16:25] Richard
it may be a good idea to take your time.
[16:29] Yamamoto
I know what I'm doing is ridiculous.
[16:32] Yamamoto
But I've made up my mind to buy one.
[16:40] Seigi
Why did you say that?
[16:43] Seigi
Yamamoto-san wanted to buy a ring.
[16:45] Richard
Gemstones don't always make people happy.
[16:49] Seigi
But aren't gemstones mirrors
that reflect their owners?
[16:53] Richard
When someone is confused about
what exactly it is that they want,
[16:58] Richard
I don't recommend making a purchase.
[17:12] Seigi
Richard...
[17:14] Seigi
Yamamoto-san?
[17:15] Yamamoto
I'm sorry. I know it's late.
[17:18] Seigi
What's wrong?
[17:20] Yamamoto
I've decided not to buy a garnet after all.
[17:24] Seigi
What?
[17:25] Yamamoto
I just can't...
[17:33] Yamamoto
I'd finished work and was on my way home...
[17:40] Yamamoto
when I saw my ex picking out an
engagement ring with his new girlfriend.
[17:46] Yamamoto
The moment I saw it,
I wondered what I was doing.
[17:51] Yamamoto
Even if I buy a garnet,
it'll only make me feel miserable.
[17:58] Richard
Are you familiar with the
legends surrounding garnets,
[18:02] Richard
apart from their meaning as gemstones?
[18:05] Yamamoto
No.
[18:08] Richard
Garnets have been ripe with legend
since the days of yore.
[18:12] Richard
They appear in a number of stories.
[18:15] Richard
In Ancient Rome, soldiers kept
red garnets as talismans.
[18:21] Yamamoto
Like protective charms?
[18:23] Richard
Yes.
[18:24] Richard
People used them to pray for victory
and a safe return home.
[18:28] Richard
I believe the same is still true
two thousand years later.
[18:32] Richard
After all, life is a battle.
[18:34] Yamamoto
A battle?
[18:37] Richard
For example, when searching
for a companion in life...
[18:41] Richard
If an opponent appears, it means a fight.
[18:45] Richard
In such battles, I believe rather
than youth or beauty,
[18:49] Richard
hard work and perseverance
are your best weapons.
[18:55] Richard
Of course, you're also free
to choose not to fight.
[18:59] Richard
But I see you as a warrior
who stands her ground.
[19:05] Yamamoto
A w-warrior?
[19:08] Richard
Yamamoto-sama, you wanted a garnet.
[19:12] Richard
Not any other gemstone, but your birthstone.
[19:17] Richard
You say you're not a diamond or a ruby,
[19:20] Richard
but you don't shy away from that.
[19:24] Richard
That proves you've given
great thought to who you are.
[19:29] Richard
That you want to win,
and that you want to survive.
[19:32] Richard
That you have the will to fight.
[19:53] Yamamoto
Thank you.
[19:56] Yamamoto
I'm sorry. That was embarrassing.
[19:59] Richard
Isn't it your choice whether
to believe it was embarrassing
[20:03] Richard
or to insist it was charming?
[20:11] Richard
It's gotten quite late.
I'll treat you to dinner.
[20:15] Seigi
Huh?
[20:17] Richard
I'd also like to speak with you.
[20:21] Seigi
Okay...
[20:31] Richard
Seigi, about the message I sent you...
[20:35] Richard
Do you now understand the effect
that careless words can have?
[20:40] Seigi
Huh?
[20:41] Richard
Words like "beautiful" and
"pretty" are compliments,
[20:46] Richard
but they're also used to judge.
[20:49] Richard
Even the most innocent and beautiful words
[20:51] Richard
can be interpreted quite differently
than how you intended,
[20:55] Richard
and your appraisal can hurt someone.
[20:59] Seigi
I upset her by talking about
how pretty you are...
[21:05] Richard
If you keep speaking
and acting the way you do,
[21:08] Richard
there will eventually be a hefty price to pay.
[21:13] Seigi
I'm really sorry.
[21:16] Richard
I'm just glad you understand.
[21:19] Manager
Thank you for waiting.
[21:22] Manager
Here's your strawberry parfait.

Delivery!
[21:45] Seigi
A pomegranate tree, huh?
Sounds just like Yamamoto-san.
[21:49] Seigi
So she's really not buying a stone after all?
[21:51] Richard
No.
[21:53] Richard
She's going to stay true to herself
and try to become a fighter.

Grandma would be furious with me.

I'm sorry. We can't share personal

It belongs to my aunt!

Hase-san stole it!

My name is Hata.
[11:33] Hata
Hase-san takes care of my aunt,
Sugano Hisa, at a nursing facility.
[11:41] Seigi
He doesn't work in operations?

My aunt has mild dementia.
Sometimes she doesn't even recognize me.

But she calls Hase-san "Rabbit"
and loves him dearly.
[12:02] Hata
There was a small fire at the home,
[12:04] Hata

aunt out of the building.
[12:09] Seigi
Rabbit...

After I helped an employee in a wheelchair,

It was after the fire that I noticed

Thanks. I'd like you to take another look.

As I told you before, we don't
specialize in purchasing gemstones here.
[13:25] Richard
Moreover, there are some things we can't buy.
[13:28] Hase
Can't buy?
[13:30] Richard
For example, potentially stolen goods.

I'm Japanese, don't you?

Someone named Hata-san was here earlier.

What was Hata-san doing here?
[14:20] Hase
She said I stole it, didn't she?
[14:23] Hase
You can't be serious!
[14:25] Hase
Hisa-san gave me this gemstone!
[14:28] Hase
I tried over and over to refuse,
but she insisted I take it!
[14:32] Hase
She said it was a kainoshi!
[14:34] Hase
And I wasn't lying when I said
she shared her concerns with me.
[14:37] Hase
Hisa-san said she might run out
of money to pay for her care.
[14:42] Hase
So... I thought I might be able to help
if I sold the gemstone for funds.
[14:49] Seigi
Then you were trying to help Hisa-san?
[14:53] Hase
Y-Yeah...
[14:57] Richard
You mentioned a "kainoshi."
[15:00] Richard
Does Hisa-sama have bad teeth?
[15:03] Hase
What? Yeah...
[15:05] Hase
She's missing a lot of them.
She has difficulty talking.
[15:09] Richard

[15:13] Richard
Hase-sama, are you familiar with the
Miyazawa Kenji story called "Kai-no-Hi"?
[15:18] Hase
"Kai-no-hi"?
[15:20] Richard
Yes.
[15:21] Richard
A rabbit who rescues a skylark
from drowning in a river
[15:24] Richard
is given a gemstone called a kai-no-hi,
or "fiery shell," as thanks.
[15:29] Seigi
A rabbit...
[15:31] Richard
"Fiery shells" are what the mineral-loving
Kenji called fire opals.
[15:37] Richard
The quality of a gemstone exhibiting
a variety of colors in the light
[15:42] Richard
is known as opalescence.
[15:45] Richard
This one that glitters with the
colors of flames and rainbows
[15:49] Richard
is a true "fiery shell."
[15:52] Hase
So it wasn't kainoshi, but kai-no-hi?
[15:58] Richard
Since Hisa-sama has dementia,
[16:02] Richard
I believe it would be best to confirm to
what degree she is aware of the situation.
[16:09] Richard
Also, there's more to the "Kai-no-Hi" story.
Are you familiar with it?
[16:14] Hase
No.
[16:15] Richard
When handled poorly,
the gemstone loses its sparkle.
[16:19] Hase
Handled poorly?
[16:21] Richard
Yes.

by a fox, knowing it's stolen,

Then, one day, as though
it were divine punishment,
[16:36] Richard
the stone suddenly lost its sparkle.
[16:43] Richard
It's truly strange,
but I know of a very similar story...

The story of your grandmother's gemstone.

Were you here the last time I came?

I returned the opal to Hata-san.
[17:40] Hase
I quit my job, too.
[17:42] Seigi
Senpai, I'll tell Hata-san the truth.
[17:47] Seigi
If I explain things—
[17:48] Hase
You really are a hero of justice, aren't you?
[17:50] Seigi
Huh?
[17:52] Hase
My dad collapsed,
and my sister's still in school.
[17:56] Hase
I only wanted to help my family out.
[17:59] Seigi
Weren't you doing it for Hisa-san?
[18:02] Hase
You always do the right thing.
[18:04] Hase
But not everyone can be like you.
[18:11] Hase
Say, Seigi, do you remember that match?
[18:15] Hase
My last match in middle school?
[18:18] Hase
If I could only go back to that time
when I was buying you dinner...
[18:23] Hase
I could be the cool senpai
you admired again.
[18:30] Hase
Thanks for everything.
[18:33] Hase
But I don't want to see your face again.

It hurts too much.
[19:18] Richard
Pardon me for asking, but do you
have any plans after this?

Richard... But how?
[19:26] Richard
I had nothing to do, so I went for a drive.
[19:28] Seigi
Were you waiting for me?
[19:32] Richard
I'm feeling a bit hungry.
Care to make it dinner for two?
[19:51] Seigi
I'm no hero of justice.
[19:54] Seigi
I'm just afraid of disappointing people
by not being able to do anything.
[20:00] Seigi
I'm not right at all.
[20:07] Richard
Those who try to be right are solitary.
[20:10] Richard
Not everyone can walk the same path,
[20:15] Richard
and people dislike that
which shines too brightly.
[20:19] Richard
Nevertheless, you're not wrong.
[20:24] Richard
The root of your righteousness
[20:26] Richard
is a noble desire to be kind
to others even in the darkness.
[20:31] Richard
I find that desire admirable,
from the bottom of my heart.
[20:37] Richard
At times, I envy it.
[20:58] Richard
Pull yourself together.
[21:28] Seigi
Chance encounters, huh?
[21:31] Richard
What is it?
[21:33] Seigi
Nothing. I just wish I could send those

[21:40] Richard
I wouldn't mind eating them instead.

Yeah. What's up, Shimomura?

I really need to talk to you about something.
[03:01] Shimo
This is Okita Ayumi-san.
We're in the same club.
[03:04] Shimo
When I told her you work at a jeweler's...
[03:06] Ayumi
Please! I lost someone
very important to me...
[03:12] Shimo
We want you to help us look for him.
[03:14] Shimo
Please. I'm begging you, Nakata.

H-Huh?
[03:18] Shimo
It's okay now, Ayumi-chan.
[03:23] Seigi
So that's how it is...
[03:27] Richard
Welcome to Étranger.
[03:29] Richard
I'm the owner, Richard.
[03:34] Richard
Have a seat.
[03:37] Ayumi
Thank you.
[03:39] Richard
I heard you had a question about a gemstone.
[03:43] Ayumi
Yes, that's right.
[03:45] Ayumi
I'd like you to have a look at this.
[03:52] Ayumi
My boyfriend gave me this,
[03:56] Ayumi
and then he suddenly went missing.
[04:03] Richard
If I may...
[04:06] Ayumi
I want to know if there's a store
selling this same accessory.
[04:12] Richard
Do you have the box?
[04:14] Ayumi
No.
[04:15] Seigi
Without a box from the store,
there's nothing we can do.
[04:18] Ayumi
I don't have the box,
but he said it was real.
[04:21] Seigi
Well, is there anything else
that might serve as a clue?
[04:26] Ayumi
That was all he gave me.
[04:28] Ayumi
Oh, but I have his photo.
[04:31] Ayumi
His name is Furuta Yoshio.
[04:34] Ayumi
He works in IT.
[04:36] Ayumi
He asked me to marry him.
[04:40] Ayumi
I think there's probably some
reason he can't contact me...
[04:48] Seigi
But if he's really serious, I doubt
he'd disappear without saying anything.
[04:53] Ayumi
If he weren't, he wouldn't
have given me a gemstone.
[04:57] Seigi
That's true...
[04:58] Richard
Okita-sama, has Furuta-sama ever asked
you to look at an accessory he designed?
[05:05] Ayumi
Yes. How did you know?
[05:08] Richard
Did you purchase said accessory?
[05:11] Ayumi
No. As a student, I couldn't afford it.
[05:17] Richard
I see.
[05:19] Richard
Turquoise expresses the sender's wish
for the recipient's happiness.
[05:25] Ayumi
The recipient? You mean me?
[05:29] Richard
Yes.
[05:30] Richard
If Furuta-sama truly wished for
you to be happy before he left,
[05:36] Richard
is that not a distinctly
beautiful kind of love?
[05:54] Ayumi
Nakata-kun, thank you so much.
[05:58] Ayumi
Um...
[05:59] Ayumi
I'd like to thank Richard-san.
[06:01] Ayumi
What does he like?
[06:03] Seigi
Huh?
[06:05] Seigi
Oh, I just work here part-time. I don't know.
[06:09] Ayumi
Oh...
[06:11] Ayumi
Well, see you.
[06:17] Seigi
Shimomura, you can rest easy.
[06:27] Seigi
What is it?
[06:29] Richard
I'm hesitant to discuss it with you.
[06:34] Seigi
Discuss what?
[06:37] Richard
Look at this.
[06:39] Seigi
What? Is this the same accessory Okita-san had?
[06:42] Seigi
Does this mean...
you know her missing boyfriend?
[06:47] Richard
Don't be stupid. Try polishing it.
[06:52] Seigi
Will it turn into a dove or something?
[06:58] Seigi
It came off! The color came off!
[07:01] Richard
It was probably colored using a felt-tip pen.
[07:04] Richard
This is a false turquoise.
[07:06] Seigi
Is that common in Turkey?
[07:08] Richard
Turkey?
[07:10] Richard
Oh, don't get the wrong idea.
[07:12] Richard
Turquoise isn't from Turkey.
[07:15] Richard
Currently, most turquoise
in circulation is from America.
[07:19] Seigi
What? Then why is it called turquoise?
[07:22] Richard
Because it first entered
Europe through Turkey,
[07:24] Richard
the French called it "turquois."
[07:29] Richard
That became the English "Turkeis,"
[07:31] Richard
signifying its origin from Turkey—
[07:34] Richard
the namesake of both the stone and its color.
[07:38] Richard
Howlite is a gemstone with a luster
very similar to turquoise.
[07:42] Richard
Colored howlite is commonly
sold as "imitation turquoise."
[07:49] Richard
Which isn't a problem if
everyone knows that's what it is,
[07:53] Richard
but this is different.
[07:55] Seigi
Why do you have that?
[07:58] Richard
I borrowed it from a colleague.
[08:02] Richard
According to him, a group of scam
artists pretending to be jewelers
[08:06] Richard
is systematically preying on young people.
[08:10] Seigi
Scam artists?
[08:12] Richard
Yes. Are you familiar with date fraud?
[08:16] Seigi
Oh, yeah. Like when a guy follows
a pretty girl to a shady place
[08:19] Seigi
and gets talked into buying a case of water
at a thousand yen per bottle, right?
[08:24] Richard
Yes.
[08:25] Richard
It's the use of romantic feelings
to sell expensive products.
[08:30] Richard
Apparently, these people make money selling
[08:33] Richard
other worthless fakes
in addition to turquoise.
[08:36] Seigi
Like the accessory Okita-san
said she couldn't afford!
[08:40] Richard
Good for you.
[08:42] Richard
I never imagined I'd have the opportunity
to see one of these fakes so soon.
[08:50] Seigi
That's unforgivable.
[08:52] Seigi
Where is this group of con artists now?
[08:55] Richard
They move around shuttered streets.
[08:58] Richard
Even if their neighbors complain
and they get kicked out,
[09:01] Richard
they simply reopen their business elsewhere.
[09:05] Seigi
Really? Did you hear that
from your colleague, too?
[09:08] Richard
No, I looked into it.
[09:10] Seigi
Looked into it? You did?
[09:14] Seigi
Do you know who they are?
[09:18] Richard
If I did, I wouldn't be telling you.
[09:20] Seigi
Why are you mad?
[09:24] Richard
I'm not mad.
[09:28] Seigi
Well, whatever. This kind
of scam happens all the time.
[09:37] Richard
It certainly does. But while this may seem
inconsequential, they've gone too far.
[09:45] Richard
We have a client coming.
Please prepare for their arrival.
[09:57] Shoko
I couldn't forgive someone who
uses gemstones to commit fraud.
[10:02] Seigi
Yeah, but I have a feeling that's not
the only thing Richard was mad about.
[10:08] Seigi
That's why I specifically
said it's a common scam.
[10:12] Shoko
Specifically?
[10:13] Seigi
Yeah. Then Richard smiled.
[10:21] Seigi
I've never seen him like that before.
[10:24] Shoko
Seigi-kun, you must really like Richard-san.
[10:28] Seigi
Huh?
[10:29] Shoko
You keep talking about him today.
[10:34] Seigi
B-But I like...
[10:38] Shoko
You like what?
[10:40] Seigi

Yes. This is them.

I noticed something interesting.
[11:37] Richard
Tomorrow is a Sunday, but we don't
have a single appointment scheduled.
[11:42] Seigi
You're not going to raid
their business, are you?
[11:44] Richard
Raid? I'm not familiar with the term.
[11:49] Seigi
It's when you barge in

[11:52] Richard
I see.
[11:54] Seigi
Are you serious?
[11:55] Richard
No, I've never raided anyone before.
[11:59] Richard
Seigi, do you have any acting experience?
[12:02] Seigi
Me? Of course not.
[12:05] Seigi
Do you?
[12:07] Richard
Well, I am from the land of Shakespeare.
[12:10] Seigi
Shakespeare...
[12:12] Richard
It wouldn't be wise to
directly confront evildoers
[12:15] Richard
who deceive law-abiding consumers.
[12:19] Richard
But I do think they could use
a taste of their own medicine.
[12:24] Seigi
Gotcha.

Wow, really?

But I think it turned out pretty well.

Great. I can't wait.

Edward Baxter?
[13:27] Seigi
When he passed by your shop,
[13:29] Seigi
he said he detected
some very powerful auras,
[13:33] Seigi

One moment, please.
[14:08] Woman
These are our gemstones.
[14:10] Seigi
And what type of stone are they?
[14:12] Woman
They're turquoises.
[14:15] Woman
All of our gemstones possess
auras of good fortune,
[14:18] Woman
with a brilliance that brings
about a rich future.
[14:22] Seigi
Sensei, what do you think?
[14:27] Richard
They're cursed.
[14:28] Woman
What? Japanese?
[14:30] Richard
All of these gemstones are cursed.
[14:33] Richard
Just looking at them is dreadful.
[14:36] Woman
Huh? What?
[14:37] Seigi
I do beg your pardon.
[14:39] Seigi
This is the miracle worker who
can sense the aura of gemstones
[14:43] Seigi
and evaluate their luck
to bring people happiness,
[14:46] Seigi
Edward Baxter-sensei.
[14:50] Richard
Since your store is called Happy Étoile,
[14:53] Richard
I thought we could discuss gemstones
that bring happiness.
[14:57] Richard
But I can hardly believe this.
[14:59] Richard
These gemstones bear curses
and not an ounce of good fortune.
[15:06] Seigi
Sensei, are you all right?
[15:08] Richard
Their auras are affecting me.
[15:10] Woman
Um...
[15:12] Richard
Show me your other gemstones.
[15:14] Woman
Y-Yes, sir.
[15:21] Man
If you're here to interfere with
our business, you can leave.

Are you saying there's
something worse than this store?
[15:31] Man
Why, you...
[15:33] Richard
Take these turquoises.
[15:35] Richard
Normally, these charming gemstones
[15:38] Richard
are said to bring happiness
to those who receive them.
[15:42] Richard
However, I can't sense a shred
of good will from these
[15:48] Richard
and their mass-produced auras.
[15:50] Man
Keep making false accusations and...
[15:54] Richard
It's not the recipient
who experiences misfortune.
[15:57] Richard
It's the sender.
[15:59] Man
What? The sender?
[16:01] Richard
Yes.
[16:02] Richard
What would happen if you sold gemstones
[16:05] Richard
with the intention of deceiving
someone or out of greed?
[16:08] Richard
The gemstones would never forgive
those who defile them.
[16:13] Man
Don't be ridiculous.
[16:15] Richard
He who hurts another...
[16:16] Seigi
...hurts himself, Sensei.
[16:18] Richard
That's right.
[16:20] Richard
Every one of these gemstones
is surrounded by a black aura.
[16:24] Richard
How truly miserable.
[16:26] Richard
They don't even know how their wrongdoing
spreads as they pass from person to person.
[16:30] Man
If you keep talking...
[16:32] Richard
Sasaki-sama over there is
the perfect example.
[16:35] Sasaki
Huh?
[16:37] Richard
The aura I sense from him is unique.
[16:40] Richard
Perhaps he gave countless women
counterfeit gemstones,
[16:45] Richard
but there is a powerful
grudge hanging over him.
[16:48] Miki
What?
[16:49] Sasaki
H-He's wrong!
[16:51] Richard
I don't sense any of that coming from you,
[16:55] Richard
so you must have only met recently,
[16:58] Richard
or perhaps you don't seek a close
relationship with each other.
[17:02] Sasaki
Hey, Miki-chan! Wait!
[17:10] Man
Listen, you—
[17:11] Richard
The aura I sense around you
is not nearly as evil.
[17:15] Richard
However, you should be careful.
[17:18] Richard
We only get one life.
[17:20] Man
If you keep up this nonsense,
I'll call the cops!
[17:24] Richard
Go ahead and call them.
[17:26] Richard
A place shrouded in a miasma this thick
might need the rescue squad.
[17:32] Richard
Why would you stain them with such ugliness?
[17:38] Richard
Misused gemstones bring misfortune.
[17:41] Richard
I wholeheartedly recommend
that you all find better employment
[17:46] Richard
and get yourselves exorcised
at the appropriate places.
[17:56] Richard
Now, everyone, do take care.
[18:00] Richard
Bending an ear to the
murmur of these gemstones
[18:05] Richard
is all I can do for you.
[18:21] Man
Get the salt!
[18:27] Richard
I apologize for involving you
in something so dangerous.
[18:31] Seigi
I knew what I was getting into.
[18:34] Seigi
Anyway, are you okay?
[18:36] Seigi
They know who you are now.
[18:39] Richard
This business isn't as
clean as you think it is.
[18:44] Seigi
Is that why you used the name Edward Baxter?
[18:50] Seigi
When I heard you were going,
I was determined to go with you.
[18:57] Seigi
Do you know why?
[18:58] Richard
Because you're a hero of justice?
[19:00] Seigi
Because I was worried!
[19:02] Seigi
You were being reckless for once.
[19:06] Seigi
Do you have some kind of history
with turquoise fraud or something?
[19:11] Richard
No.
[19:12] Richard
I simply abhor those who use the
power of gemstones for selfish desires.
[19:19] Richard
It goes without saying that I feel similarly
about con artists who prey on others.
[19:23] Seigi
Is that really all?
[19:30] Richard
Men who use their looks to
sell counterfeit gemstones
[19:34] Richard
make me want to vomit.
[19:36] Richard
On top of that, his pick-up line

[00:13] Auction
Thirty million!
[00:14] Seigi
Richard...
SIGN Episode 7
The Jade of Succession
SIGN One Week Earlier
[02:02] Ito
I'll be counting on you.
[02:04] Richard
Certainly.
[02:07] Richard
Seigi, this is Ito-sama of
the Ito Shobin Company.
[02:10] Ito
Hello. It's nice to meet you.
[02:13] Seigi
Likewise.
[02:14] Ito
Well, then...
[02:20] Seigi
The Ito Shobin Company?
[02:23] Richard
Seigi, are you free next Friday?
[02:27] Richard
I'd like you to accompany me to an auction.
[02:29] Seigi
An auction?
[02:33] Seigi
You mean an auction like you see
on TV and in the movies?
[02:38] Seigi
Is something incredible going up for sale?
[02:41] Richard
Yes. The collection of Azuma Soichi,
who passed away last month.
[02:46] Richard
Also known as the Azuma Collection.
[02:51] Richard
Azuma was a managing director
with profound cultural knowledge.
[02:57] Richard
His massive collection made him
[02:59] Richard
one of Japan's most prominent
collectors of gemstones and antiques.
[03:04] Richard
But since his passing, there's been a bit
[03:06] Richard
of commotion surrounding
the inheritance of his fortune.
[03:10] Seigi
I can imagine.
[03:12] Richard
His eldest daughter, the new
director of the Azuma family,
[03:15] Richard
came up with a clever solution:
[03:17] Richard
entrust her father's collection
to an auction company
[03:22] Richard
and liquidate all of it.
[03:25] Seigi
That's rather drastic.
[03:27] Richard
I believe it's wiser than causing
unnecessary discord within the family.
[03:32] Seigi
Yeah, I guess so.
[03:35] Seigi
Oh, right! Tea?
[03:41] Richard
This is the collection that's to be auctioned.
[03:48] Seigi
This is all the Azuma Collection?
[03:51] Richard
Yes.
[03:52] Richard
The most eye-catching piece
is the Buddha's hand citron.
[03:54] Seigi
Buddha's hand...?
[03:56] Richard
Take a look at lot number 865.
[04:01] Seigi
So this is read "Buddha's hand citron"?
[04:05] Richard
It's a 200-year-old jade piece
[04:07] Richard
from the reign of the
Qing Dynasty's Qianlong Emperor.
[04:11] Seigi
It's 200 years old?
[04:13] Richard
I was asked to win this piece at the auction.
[04:16] Seigi
You mean by that guy just now?
[04:18] Richard
Yes.
[04:20] Ricahrd
The Ito Shobin Company is a
well-established antique shop in Ginza.
[04:24] Richard
The Japanese word for jade
comes from the kingfisher.
[04:27] Richard
Because kingfishers are
sometimes called "shobin,"
[04:29] Richard
the characters for jade can
also be read as "shobin."
[04:33] Richard
The founder of the Shobin Company
was so enamored by jade
[04:37] Richard
that he named his store after it.
[04:40] Seigi
And this piece ended up
in Azuma-san's possession.
[04:43] Richard
Upon Azuma's passing, he was intent
on buying it back if at all possible.
[04:48] Seigi
Then why not buy it himself?
Why is he hiring you?
[04:54] Richard
The Shobin Company has been
banned from the auction hall.
[04:59] Seigi
Banned? Why?
[05:01] Richard
Even after the collection was entrusted
to the auction company,
[05:05] Richard
Ito repeatedly offered to buy the
Buddha's hand citron for a high price,
[05:08] Richard
which compromised his reputation.
[05:11] Richard
So he then turned to an
acquaintance of his, my mentor,
[05:15] Richard
who passed the request along to me.
[05:18] Seigi
A mentor? Richard, you have a mentor?
[05:22] Richard
Is it that strange?
[05:23] Seigi
Er, well, no.
[05:25] Richard
Seigi, if you're available, will you
accompany me to the preview, as well?
[05:29] Seigi
The preview?
[05:31] Richard
It's an opportunity to see the
objects for auction in person.
[05:36] Seigi
Even the Buddha's hand citron?
[05:39] Richard
Of course.
[05:47] Richard
The Buddha's hand citron is a fruit
thought to bring good luck in China.
[05:52] Richard
Its shape resembles the Buddha's hand.
[05:54] Seigi
It really does.
You said it's 200 years old, right?
[05:57] Seigi
It's been handled with care by so many
different people since long before I was born...
[06:04] Seigi
But it looks more like an emerald than jade.
[06:08] Seigi
Jade isn't normally this translucent, right?
[06:10] Richard
Good for you.
[06:12] Richard
You're developing an eye for gemstones.
[06:14] Richard
Highly translucent, blue-green
jade is called jadeite.
[06:19] Richard
It's highly valued.
[06:21] Seigi
So this one's top class.
[06:25] Seigi
Th-Thirty million?!
[06:27] Richard
Quiet.
[06:28] Seigi
Er, sorry.
[06:29] Richard
This is the estimated sale price.
[06:32] Richard
The starting price should be much lower.
[06:34] Seigi
Wow...
[06:47] Seigi
Richard...
[06:48] Seigi
Huh?
[06:50] Seigi
Richard?
[06:53] Shin
What a coincidence.
[06:55] Shin
I didn't expect to see you here,
Lord Claremont.
[06:59] Richard
You have the wrong man.
[07:01] Shin
Ah, come to think of it, I heard you go by
Richard Ranashinha de Vulpian now.
[07:08] Shin
Are you looking to buy the jade hand, too?
[07:10] Shin
Were you hired by a Frenchman?
Or perhaps an Englishman?
[07:16] Seigi
If you have business with the owner,
I'll hear what you have to say.
[07:20] Shin
"The owner"? You work for him?
[07:25] Seigi
That's right.
[07:36] Shin
I forgot to introduce myself.
[07:38] Shin
My name is Shin Ganapati Bertuccio.
[07:42] Seigi
I'm Nakata—
[07:43] Richard
You needn't give him your name.
[07:45] Shin
Obstruction of business is
your specialty, Lord Claremont.
[07:50] Shin
How truly amusing.
[07:52] Shin
Did you give up on finding happiness
with your fellow countryman
[07:55] Shin
and choose a foreigner instead?
[07:59] Richard
You don't know me.
[08:01] Shin
You there... Stay with him too long,
and you'll be met with disaster.
[08:06] Shin
Be careful.
[08:08] Shin
Well, Lord Claremont,
give my regards to Ranashinha.
[08:13] Seigi
Ranashinha?
[08:19] Seigi
You're... not okay, are you?
[08:24] Richard
I regret that you had to see that.
[08:26] Richard
I apologize.
[08:28] Richard
He was a former competitor of mine.
[08:32] Richard
He would frequently claim
that I stole his customers.
[08:38] Shin
As long as you're selling it,
your customers would buy plain stone.
[08:42] Shin
They're too enchanted by your face
to look at what's in their hands.
[08:46] Richard
It was a troublesome time.
[08:48] Seigi
Where you used to work before...
Was it your mentor's store?
[08:52] Richard
Yes.
[08:53] Richard
My mentor operates the
main store in Sri Lanka.
[08:56] Richard
There's a second store in Hong Kong,
[08:57] Richard
and the third is Étranger here in Tokyo.
[09:01] Seigi
So who's this "Ranashinha" he just mentioned?
[09:05] Richard
Saul Ranashinha, my mentor.
[09:11] Seigi
Is he a relative or something?
[09:13] Richard
No. Due to certain circumstances,
I'm borrowing his name.
[09:17] Richard
We have no blood relation.
[09:21] Richard
Any other questions?
[09:26] Seigi
No, it's fine. You've already told me plenty.
[09:30] Seigi
Thank you.
[09:33] Richard
I appreciate your consideration.
[09:36] Richard
You're a very kind person.
[09:39] Richard
You're like a man drawing
his face in just before a kiss.
[09:42] Seigi
What? A kiss?
[09:47] Seigi
I just meant that it's fine if there are
things you don't want to tell me.
[09:52] Richard
Are you a philanthropist or a coward?
[09:56] Richard
It's difficult to decipher.
[09:58] Seigi
It doesn't matter either way!
[10:01] Seigi
I just hate guys who try to force themselves
[10:04] Seigi
on people who don't want to be kissed!
[10:11] Seigi
Oh, uh...
[10:14] Seigi
In other words, I don't want to
force you to do anything.
[10:21] Seigi
I like you, and I owe you.
[10:27] Seigi
What? Don't look at me like that.
[10:30] Richard
Sorry... I just realized
how you really feel about me.
[10:36] Seigi
Did I really have to say it
out loud for you to get it?
[10:40] Richard
I'm grateful.
[10:42] Richard
You're right. I should tell you myself.
[10:48] Seigi
Richard...
[10:51] Richard
Don't get the wrong idea. I'm not desperate.
[10:56] Richard
It just feels like it's the right time.
[11:00] Richard
But can it wait until after the auction?
[11:04] Seigi
Of course.
[11:07] Richard
If that man is here,
[11:10] Richard
then there must be a buyer
in Europe who wants this jade.
[11:14] Seigi
Thirty million...
[11:16] Richard
I'm not sure that will be enough.
[11:18] Seigi
What?
[11:20] Richard
It will be a fierce battle.
[11:38] Ito
I'm so sorry for asking you to do this.
[11:42] Seigi
Will 30 million be enough?
[11:46] Ito
I'm not sure.
[11:47] Ito
After hearing from Richard,
we discussed the matter
[11:50] Ito
and raised the upper limit, but...
[12:01] Richard
What is it?
[12:03] Seigi
It's true that seeing something
so beautiful can strike you dumb...
[12:08] Richard
You've become quite the smooth talker.
[12:12] Seigi
Richard, should I really be dressed like this?
[12:15] Richard
You're my bag boy, aren't you?
[12:18] Richard
It's fine.
[12:20] Ito
Will that be all right?
[12:22] Richard
Don't worry. Let's go.
[12:29] Seigi
"That"?
[12:35] Seigi
There's a ton of people.
[12:37] Richard
The biggest draw is about to go up.
[12:41] Shin
You're dressed fabulously, Lord Claremont.
[12:45] Shin
That face...
[12:46] Shin
No matter where you go,
[12:48] Shin
no one who's ever associated
with you could forget it.
[12:54] Shin
Your face is your business card.
[12:57] Shin
Poor you.
[12:59] Richard
I'm thanking the heavens.
[13:01] Richard
Even someone like you who's so bad
with names still remembers my face.
[13:08] Richard
I am Richard Ranashinha de Vulpian.
[13:14] Richard
By the way, who is your client?
What's your budget?
[13:19] Shin
I haven't fallen so low
as to discuss that with you.
[13:22] Shin
No matter who my client is,
you don't stand a chance.
[13:27] Shin
Valuable objects end up in worthy hands.
[13:32] Shin
I will get what my client wants.
[13:44] Seigi
It's royal milk tea flavored.
[13:46] Seigi
For a chance of pace.
[13:52] Richard
Thank you.
[13:55] Auction
The afternoon auction will now resume.
[13:59] Auction
Lot number 800.
[14:01] Auction
Bidding for this ruby necklace
will begin at three million.
[14:07] Auction
I have 3.1 million, 3.2 million, 3.3 million.
[14:13] Auction
Four million, 4.1 million.
[14:13] Richard
Raising the paddle with your
number on it constitutes a bid.
[14:17] Auction
Five million.
[14:19] Richard
And when there's only one bidder left...
[14:21] Auction
Sold for five million.
[14:24] Seigi
I see.
[14:28] Seigi
What? You want me to bid?
[14:31] Richard
Aren't you my bag boy?
[14:36] Seigi
Yeah...
[14:39] Auction
Lot number 865.
[14:42] Auction
The Buddha's hand citron.
[14:47] Auction
A jade piece from the reign of the
Qing Dynasty's Qianlong Emperor.
[14:53] Auction
Bidding will start at ten million.
[14:58] Auction
Eleven million.
[15:00] Auction
Twelve million.
[15:02] Auction
Thirteen million.
[15:04] Auction
Twenty million!
[15:06] Auction
Twenty-one million. Twenty-two million.
[15:10] Auction
Thirty million!
[15:11] Seigi
Thirty million...
[15:13] Auction
Thirty-one million. Thirty-two million.
[15:16] Seigi
Is it okay to keep ours up?
[15:17] Auction
Thirty-three million. Thirty-four million.
[15:19] Richard
Of course.
[15:22] Auction
Thirty-five million.
Thirty-six million. Thirty-seven million.
[15:29] Shin
This is all you can afford.
[15:35] Auction
Thirty-eight million.
[15:37] Auction

[15:42] Auction

[15:45] Shin
How much more can you pay?
[15:47] Auction
Forty-one and a half million.
[15:50] Auction

[15:54] Richard
Look sharp.
[15:55] Seigi
R-Right!
[15:56] Auction
Forty-three million. Forty-three and a half.
[16:01] Auction
Forty-four million. Forty-four and a half.
Forty-five million.
[16:12] Auction
Sold for 45 million.
[16:17] Richard
You can put it down now.
[16:19] Seigi
Huh? O-Oh...
[16:23] Richard
Well done.
[16:30] Shin
Your budget was supposed to
be 30 million and change!
[16:34] Richard
So you were spying to determine my budget.
[16:39] Shin
You're a cursed man!
You'll bring misfortune again!
[16:44] Seigi
It's none of your concern
whether he does or not!
[16:48] Seigi
Stop interfering with his business!
[16:52] Shin
You're blinded by someone you don't
even realize is poison, you fool!
[17:04] Ito
Richard-san!
[17:07] Azuma
Ito-san, Richard-san! Thank you so much!
[17:16] Azuma
I'm Azuma Hidenori.
[17:18] Seigi
Azuma? You're a member of the Azuma family?
[17:22] Seigi
Wait!
[17:23] Seigi
You three know each other?!
[17:27] Seigi
So Azuma-san was the other investor.
[17:32] Ito
Yes. Because Hidenori-san
agreed to invest ten million,
[17:36] Ito
we managed to scrape together 40 million.
[17:39] Seigi
But the final price was 45 million, right?
[17:42] Seigi
Who's covering the remaining five million?
[17:45] Seigi
Is it you, Richard?
[17:48] Richard
I'm pleased that I was able to help.
[17:51] Seigi
Help? Where are you going to get five million?
[17:55] Azuma
Thank you so much.
[17:58] Azuma
If it hadn't been for your
investment, Richard-san,
[18:01] Azuma
I would've cursed my aunt for putting
the Buddha's hand citron up for auction.
[18:06] Seigi
Cursed her? You'd hate her that much?
[18:08] Azuma
Yes.
[18:09] Azuma
To me, the Buddha's hand citron is ripe
with my memories of my grandfather.
[18:17] Azuma
Ever since I was a child,
I had trouble getting along
[18:20] Azuma
with the members of our main family.
[18:22] Azuma
But my grandfather always let me
handle that softly glowing jade.
[18:29] Seigi
The Buddha's hand citron...
[18:31] Azuma
Yes.
[18:33] Azuma
That's why I wanted to keep the
Buddha's hand citron no matter what,
[18:38] Azuma
even if the rest of his fortune was lost.
[18:41] Ito
If it made it overseas, it would have
been difficult to track down again.
[18:46] Ito
Just like when the Qing Dynasty weakened,
[18:48] Ito
other powerful nations purchased
its jade at low prices,
[18:51] Ito
scattering it around the world.
[18:54] Ito
I wanted to avoid that.
[18:57] Richard
And if I may add, as someone
who works in the world of gems,
[19:02] Richard
I didn't want to doom that jade
to wander any longer.
[19:07] Richard
Our motives were different,
but we had the same goal.
[19:16] Ito
This protrusion at the base represents a bat.
[19:20] Ito
Since ancient times, bats have been
considered good luck in China.
[19:25] Seigi
A good luck charm...
[19:27] Seigi
A jade charm full of Azuma-san's
memories of his grandfather...
[19:32] Seigi
Oh, thank you.
[19:36] Azuma
I bet Grandpa's smiling right now.
[19:39] Azuma
He probably wasn't expecting his grandson
to buy back one of his own possessions.
[19:55] Seigi
Anyway, I'm surprised you had five million.
[19:59] Ricahrd
Naturally, I expect them to reimburse me.
[20:03] Ricahrd
But if it means preserving the
Azuma family, then it was a bargain.
[20:07] Seigi
I-I don't think anyone would call that cheap.
[20:09] Richard
If money alone is enough to
preserve it, then it is cheap.
[20:12] Richard
That means it can be destroyed
over something so trivial.
[20:19] Richard
Let's continue our discussion
from the other day.
[20:24] Richard
It's a boring story that takes place
in the suburbs of London.
[20:30] Seigi
Your inheritance?
[20:31] Richard
Yes. They're still arguing over
the tremendous inheritance
[20:35] Richard
my grandfather left behind.
[20:38] Richard
The family had a falling-out.
[20:40] Richard
People were betrayed by those
they considered friends.
[20:43] Richard
Romantic unions were broken up.
[20:46] Richard
A lot happened.
[20:48] Seigi
Should you be running
a jewelry store in Japan?
[20:53] Richard
What should I be doing instead?
[20:56] Seigi
I see...
[20:58] Seigi
In any case, thanks for telling me.
[21:01] Richard
You're welcome.
[21:03] Richard
This is probably the reason
that man said what he did.
[21:07] Seigi
The reason?
[21:09] Richard
Why he warned you that you'd
be met with disaster if you
[21:14] Richard
stayed with me too long.
[21:16] Seigi
That was a warning?
[21:18] Seigi
He was serious?
That's just what happened to you.
[21:22] Seigi
Give me a break.
[21:33] Seigi
Well, I'm headed this way.
See you next week.
[21:36] Richard
Yes, see you next week.
[21:42] Richard
Seigi.
[21:44] Richard
Don't blame me if you regret it.
[21:47] Seigi
Regret what?
[21:50] Richard
Saying that you like me.
[21:55] Richard
Farewell.

SIGN Episode 8
The Angel's Aquamarine
[02:24] Richard
Did you do poorly on a test?
[02:27] Richard
You look like the world is ending.
[02:32] Seigi
Just kill me.
[02:39] Seigi
Tanimoto-san's going to a marriage meeting.
[02:43] Seigi
Oh, I guess she's already there.
[02:46] Seigi
Which means I don't have a chance...
[02:49] Seigi
Go for broke? I'm broke before
I even went for anything...
[02:56] Seigi
Could you hold on to this for a while?
[03:02] Richard
Are you familiar with
the words of Machiavelli?
[03:05] Seigi
Machiavelli?
[03:06] Richard
People regret the things they didn't do
more than the things they did.
[03:19] (Flashback) Seigi
They're beautiful!
[03:21] (Flashback) Richard
They're both gemstones relating to the sea.
[03:25] (Flashback) Richard
Lapis lazuli is also sometimes
called ultramarine.
[03:30] (Flashback) Richard
"Marine" meaning the sea,
and "ultra" meaning beyond.
[03:33] (Flashback) Seigi
Ultra?
[03:34] (Flashback) Richard
Yes.
[03:35] (Flashback) Richard
The lapis lazuli that was brought
from Afghanistan to Europe
[03:39] (Flashback) Richard
was "the blue that came from beyond the sea."
[03:43] (Flashback) Seigi
I see.
[03:45] (Flashback) Richard
This aquamarine was mined
in Santa Maria, Brazil.
[03:52] (Flashback) Richard
The stone's name means "seawater" in Latin.
[03:55] (Flashback) Richard
Sailors have used aquamarines as
protective charms since ancient times.
[04:00] (Flashback) Richard
In addition to signifying good fortune,
they're also called the angel's stone.
[04:06] (Flashback) Seigi
Angel...
[04:08] (Flashback) Seigi
That's perfect for Tanimoto-san.
[04:12] (Flashback) Richard
Did you know that Étranger
offers an employee discount?
[04:19] (Flashback) Seigi
I'll buy it!
[04:30] Richard
Seigi.
[04:32] Richard
Are you free tonight?
[04:34] Seigi
Yeah, I am.
[04:39] Richard
Then I'll take you to dinner.
[04:44] Seigi
You're such a good guy.
[04:47] Seigi
But I'll pass tonight.
[04:49] Richard
I see.
[04:50] Seigi
Thanks. I really appreciate the thought, but...
[04:54] Richard
Don't worry about it.
[05:12] Seigi
Huh?
[05:14] Seigi
Homura-san?
[05:19] Seigi
Good to see him looking well.
[05:26] Seigi
What... is Tanimoto-san doing here?
[05:35] Seigi
Huh?
[05:37] Homura
Nakata-kun, right?
[05:39] Homura
It's me, Homura. It's been a while.
[05:42] Seigi
Hello.
[05:44] Homura
Thank you for your help back then.
[05:46] Seigi
Don't mention it.
[05:48] Seigi
Um, Homura-san...
[05:49] Homura
Yes?
[05:53] Seigi
No... It's nothing.
[05:57] Homura
I'm the one Shoko-chan was meeting.
[06:02] Homura
She told me you two are friends from school.
[06:06] Homura
I was surprised.
[06:08] Seigi
"Shoko-chan"?
[06:11] Homura
I've known her for a long time.
[06:14] Homura
Our parents were friends.
[06:16] Shoko
Our parents were friends.
He played with me a lot.
[06:21] Seigi
Yeah, she mentioned it.
[06:23] Homura
I know she said she was
glad to have a friend
[06:26] Homura
she could discuss the
marriage meeting with,
[06:29] Homura
but she even told you that?
[06:31] Seigi
I was surprised. I could hardly believe a
college student had a marriage meeting.
[06:36] Homura
Our parents are excited about it, but not me.
[06:40] Seigi
What about Tanimoto-san? How does she feel?
[06:43] Homura
Why don't you ask her yourself?
[06:46] Seigi
Huh?
[06:47] Homura
Well, I should get going.
[06:49] Homura
Sorry for holding you up.
[07:02] Shoko
Seigi-kun, are you listening?
[07:06] Seigi
Isn't it about time?
[07:10] Shoko
Well, I'm off.
[07:14] Seigi
Huh?
[07:16] Seigi
Wait, Tanimoto-san...
[07:24] Seigi
Don't go!
[07:35] Seigi
Just a dream...
[07:57] Seigi
Tanimoto-san!
[08:00] Shoko
Seigi-kun.
[08:02] Shoko
I heard you know Homura-san.
[08:06] Shoko
What a surprise.
[08:08] Seigi
Oh, yeah...
[08:11] Shoko
Seigi-kun?
[08:12] Seigi
Um, Tanimoto-san...
[08:17] Seigi
About Homura-san...
Do you really want to marry him?
[08:24] Shoko
Why?
[08:25] Seigi
Why? Because, uh...
[08:30] Seigi
I guess you could say...
I'm worried about you.
[08:39] Shoko
I don't really know what it
means to be with a man.
[08:44] Seigi
Huh?
[08:45] Shoko
I like Homura-san.
[08:47] Shoko
Like how I like my dad or mom.
[08:50] Shoko
But I don't know what it means
to like someone in a different way.
[08:56] Shoko
Someone I thought was a friend once said to me,
[08:58] Shoko
"I like you. Please go out with me."
[09:03] Shoko
We were having so much fun as just friends,
but I guess that wasn't enough.
[09:10] Shoko
Well, once I get married,
[09:12] Shoko
I won't have to worry about
romance anymore, right?
[09:17] Shoko
So I want to get married.
[09:21] Shoko
I'm the worst, aren't I?
[09:25] Shoko
Sometimes I see myself as a gemstone
that was mistakenly put on display.
[09:31] Shoko
Among beryls, there are
aquamarines containing iron,
[09:35] Shoko
emeralds containing chromium,
[09:37] Shoko
and goshenite containing
nothing at all, right?
[09:41] Shoko
But since colorless, transparent aquamarines
and goshenite look the same,
[09:47] Shoko
goshenite is often put on
display as aquamarine...
[09:52] Shoko
even though it's a totally different
beryl that contains no iron.
[09:58] Shoko
Just like how choosing not to fall in love
[10:00] Shoko
and never understanding it in
the first place aren't the same.
[10:09] Seigi
Maybe that's how love works,
but I think marriage is different.
[10:14] Shoko
Huh?
[10:15] Seigi
My mom's a divorcée.
[10:18] Seigi
My dad was an awful guy.
[10:21] Seigi
She's remarried now,
but she probably did it for me.
[10:26] Seigi
I think it's okay for some
marriages to be like that.
[10:29] Seigi
If someone says otherwise, then...
[10:33] Shoko
Then?
[10:35] Seigi
Then they're...
[10:42] Seigi
They're probably the kind of person
who'd say gemstones are all the same.
[10:46] Seigi
Even though they're all one of a kind.
[10:50] Shoko
Do you remember what you
said about me, Seigi-kun?
[10:54] Seigi
How cool...
[10:56] Shoko
That made me way happier
than being called cute or pretty.
[11:03] Seigi
I wish you all the best.
[11:07] Shoko
Thank you, Seigi-kun.
[11:18] Seigi
I've decided to support her.
[11:22] Richard
Support who?
[11:23] Seigi
I'm going to support
Tanimoto-san's marriage meetings.
[11:27] Seigi
It's really for the best.
[11:29] Richard
May I offer my thoughts?
[11:32] Seigi
Go ahead.
[11:35] Richard
You fool.
[11:38] Seigi
Say whatever you want.
[11:41] Seigi
I've already made up my mind.
[11:43] Seigi
The best thing I can do isn't asking her out.
[11:48] Seigi
She's on a date with Homura-san
at the science museum right now.
[11:53] Seigi
It's for the best.
[11:56] Seigi
If you're free tonight, Richard,
let's go out together.
[12:00] Seigi
We can toast to Tanimoto-san's happiness.
[12:03] Seigi
I guess you'll be having a parfait...
SIGN Shiseido Parlour
[12:11] Richard
Seigi, let me tell you an interesting story.
[12:16] Seigi
You're ignoring me?
[12:18] Richard
Long ago, somewhere in England,
[12:22] Richard
there lived a boy with a very beautiful face.
[12:28] Richard
No matter what he did,
[12:31] Richard
he was cursed to always have
people talk about his face.
[12:43] Richard
One day, he met a girl.
[12:48] Richard
They met in the Japanese department.
[12:50] Richard
Seeing the boy so concerned about his face,
she said to him quite plainly,
[12:55] Richard
"Don't worry about it."
[12:58] Richard
He'd never met anyone like her before.
[13:02] Richard
It didn't take long for him to fall in love.
[13:07] Richard
But the boy bore a second curse:
[13:13] Richard
his great-grandfather's inheritance.
[13:18] Richard
Faced with such tremendous wealth,
the girl said the following:
[13:23] Richard
"I'm scared I'd choose the money
if something happened."
[13:27] Richard
"I'd rather break up than
be that kind of person."
[13:36] Richard
Question: if you were him,
how would you have responded to her?
[13:44] Seigi
I'd like to tell her not to worry about
it and to stay with me forever.
[13:49] Seigi
But that's hard to say...
[13:51] Richard
It is.
[13:53] Richard
But even without the inheritance,
if she wanted to break up,
[13:57] Richard
clinging to her would've
only made him miserable.
[14:01] Richard
Therefore, he chose silence.
[14:05] Seigi
He didn't say anything?
[14:08] Richard
That's why I shared Machiavelli's
words with you the other day.
[14:15] Seigi
We regret the things we don't do
more than the things we did.
[14:19] Richard
That's right.
[14:22] Richard
If I were you, I'd be running to her
instead of sitting around here.
[14:29] Richard
Do you realize? You often
compliment my appearance,
[14:35] Richard
but you have trouble expressing affection
[14:38] Richard
for those you don't wish to dislike you.
[14:42] Richard
You mentioned before that you
were afraid of being disliked.
[14:46] Richard
But hasn't it been long enough?
[14:48] Richard
It's time to forget the cowardly hero of justice.
[14:52] Seigi
Huh?
[14:54] Richard
Seigi, abandon your vanity and shame.
[14:58] Richard
Aren't you the man who follows his heart
and embraces his inborn meddlesomeness
[15:03] Richard
in order to lead the people around
him toward bright futures?
[15:12] Richard
Go to the science museum.
[15:19] Seigi
I really like you.
[15:25] Richard
I like you very much as well, Seigi.
[15:29] Richard
I'm glad to have met you.
[15:31] Richard
From the moment we met until now.
That hasn't changed.
[15:37] Seigi
If you're still open by the time I'm done,
I'll be back at mach speed.
[15:40] Richard
At least invite her out to dinner.
[15:43] Seigi
Yeah.
[16:06] Seigi
Richard once told me...
[16:09] Seigi
that gemstones lead people to
the answers they truly desire.
[16:24] Shoko
Huh? Seigi-kun?
[16:31] Homura
Shoko-chan, I'm going to make a call.
[16:33] Shoko
Okay.
[16:36] Shoko
What a surprise.
[16:40] Seigi
Tanimoto-san, I...
[16:44] Seigi
The other day, I said I thought it was okay
for some marriages to be that way.
[16:49] Seigi
That I'd support your decision.
[16:53] Seigi
But I'm sorry... I can't after all.
[16:55] Shoko
Seigi-kun?
[17:08] Shoko
An aquamarine...
[17:10] Seigi
I've been wanting to give it to you.
[17:13] Shoko
To me?
[17:15] Seigi
Yeah.
[17:16] Seigi
The moment Richard
showed me this aquamarine,
[17:20] Seigi
I thought it was perfect for you.
[17:24] Seigi
You're like an angel.
[17:30] Seigi
To me, that's the kind of person you are.
[17:35] Shoko
Seigi-kun, you mean this is how you see me?
[17:39] Seigi
Yeah.
[17:41] Seigi
I don't think all gemstones are the same.
[17:44] Seigi
But in the near future,
you might find someone you like.
[17:51] Seigi
You might want to fall in love.
[17:55] Seigi
I don't think you have to give up on that yet.
[17:59] Seigi
So... So I...
[18:02] Seigi
I don't want you to get married.
[18:15] Shoko
I probably would've blown that off
if it came from anyone else.
[18:23] Shoko
But since it's you, Seigi-kun...
[18:30] Shoko
I want to thank you.
[18:34] Shoko
You really are a hero of justice.
[18:39] Seigi
Huh?
[18:40] Shoko
Seigi-kun, do you remember
when we first met?
[18:44] Seigi
Of course I do.
[18:47] Shoko
When things aren't going well
for me or my head feels foggy,
[18:52] Shoko
I like to help those in need.
[18:54] Shoko
I pretend to be a good person
to feel better about myself.
[19:00] Shoko
But imagine my surprise when
a real nice person showed up.
[19:06] Shoko
My kindness is self-satisfaction,
but you're different.
[19:11] Shoko
You're someone who hears cries
for help and extends a hand.
[19:17] Seigi
I'm not...
[19:18] Shoko
Seigi-kun, you remembered what
I said the other day, didn't you?
[19:25] Shoko
After talking about it,
[19:28] Shoko
I felt I couldn't get married
to run away from something.
[19:34] Shoko
If I did that, I wouldn't like myself.
[19:37] Shoko
I wouldn't be able to forgive myself.
[19:39] Shoko
So...
[19:41] Seigi
So?
[19:43] Shoko
I'm going to turn down Homura-san.
[19:46] Shoko
You helped me realize my feelings.
[19:53] Shoko
Thank you, Seigi-kun.
[20:06] Seigi
You really are cool, Tanimoto-san.
[20:12] Homura
You're a coward.
[20:15] Seigi
I know. I hate myself.
[20:19] Homura
Next time, you'd better tell her you like her.
[20:25] Homura
By the way, I received a call
from Richard-san the other day.
[20:30] Homura
Where's he going?
[20:33] Seigi
Where? What do you mean?
[20:37] Homura
Isn't Étranger going to be closed
for a while starting tomorrow?
[20:41] Seigi
Étranger's closing?
[20:44] Seigi
I haven't heard anything about that.
[20:47] Homura
You should call the store.
[20:57] Seigi
It's Seigi.
[20:58] Richard
How did it go?
[20:59] Seigi
Well, it didn't go horribly.
[21:03] Seigi
I failed to ask her out to dinner,
but I'll tell you all about it when I get back.
[21:07] Richard
You needn't come back today.
[21:10] Seigi
What? Why not?
[21:12] Richard
Now that I think about it,
we've known each other for some time now.
[21:16] Seigi
Huh? What are you saying?
[21:19] Richard
I've paid your salary in full.
[21:22] Richard
Don't worry about the rest.
[21:25] Seigi
What are you talking about?
[21:26] Richard
One last thing...
[21:28] Seigi
Wait.
[21:30] Seigi
I'm on my way back to the store now.

[02:37] Saul
The store is still preparing
to open. I'm very sorry.
[02:42] Seigi
I'm not a customer.
[02:44] Seigi
I'm Nakata. I used to work here part-time.
[02:47] Saul
Ah, you. I've heard about you.
[02:52] Seigi
You must be Richard's mentor, Ranashinha-san.
[02:57] Saul
He called me his mentor?
[03:00] Seigi
Yes.
[03:03] Saul
Indeed, Mr. Detective.
[03:05] Saul
My name is Saul Ranashinha Ali.
[03:09] Seigi
Nakata Seigi.
[03:10] Seigi
Um, where's Richard? He's back, right?
[03:14] Saul
No. He asked me to look after the store.
[03:19] Saul
I don't currently have any
plans to hire a part-timer.
[03:22] Saul
I'm sorry.
[03:24] Seigi
Where is Richard? What is he doing?
[03:27] Seigi
I don't know anything.
[03:29] Saul
Did he leave without saying anything to you?
[03:35] Seigi
We spoke briefly over the phone.
[03:38] Saul
What did he say?
[03:40] Seigi
I'm sorry. I'd prefer not to say.
[03:44] Saul
This will probably be a long conversation.
[03:48] Saul
Why don't we discuss things over tea?
[03:54] Saul
Nakata-san,
[03:55] Saul
why do you want to know where he is?
[03:59] Seigi
Why?
[04:01] Saul
I can't imagine there's much point
in learning his current situation.
[04:11] Seigi
I just want to know how Richard is doing.
[04:15] Seigi
I want to understand things.
[04:20] Seigi
Wow, that's strong...
[04:21] Saul
It's Sri Lankan-style spiced tea.
[04:25] Saul
He liked royal milk tea, didn't he?
[04:29] Seigi
Yes. He taught me how to make it.
[04:32] Saul
Did he also happen to tell you
about the origin of this shop's name?
[04:37] Seigi
No.
[04:38] Saul
"Étranger" is French for "foreigner."
[04:41] Saul
When I asked him why he chose such a name,
[04:46] Saul
he said it was because he felt like
a foreigner no matter where he went.
[04:50] Saul
Pompous, don't you think?
[04:53] Saul
Foreigners are lonely people.
[04:56] Saul
From the beginning,
this store was for him alone.
[05:02] Seigi
I can't imagine that's why Richard left.
[05:06] Saul
Everyone has their reasons.
[05:09] Saul
You say you want to understand,
[05:12] Saul
but no matter how unreasonable
or incomprehensible,
[05:14] Saul
there are things we have
to accept. That's life.
[05:17] Seigi
I understand what you're saying, but—
[05:20] Saul
Nakata-san, try asking yourself this question.
[05:25] Saul
Why do you want to see Richard?
[05:28] Saul
Do you want an apology?
[05:30] Saul
Or are you looking to
restore your relationship?
[05:40] Shoko
You look awfully gloomy.
[05:42] Seigi
Huh? Oh...
[05:44] Seigi
Tanimoto-san.
[05:46] Shoko
I can lend an ear if you'd like.
[05:52] Seigi
Richard...
[05:54] Seigi
Someone important to me—I'm not sure
what I'd call him—suddenly disappeared.
[06:00] Seigi
I don't know what to do.
[06:03] Seigi
I want to go after him,
[06:05] Seigi
but I'm not sure what I hope
to accomplish by doing that.
[06:11] Seigi
I have no idea why I'm such a mess.
[06:19] Shoko
Really? I have a feeling I know.
[06:23] Seigi
Huh?
[06:24] Shoko
You're angry, Seigi-kun.
[06:28] Seigi
I am?
[06:29] Shoko
You feel betrayed by someone
you love, and it frustrates you.
[06:33] Shoko
You don't understand why
they didn't tell you anything.
[06:38] Shoko
But you think it's wrong
to be angry with someone
[06:42] Shoko
when you don't know their circumstances.
[06:45] Shoko
You're heartbroken at the thought
that you might not have been
[06:49] Shoko
as important to them as they were to you,
[06:53] Shoko
but you're suppressing that feeling.
[06:55] Shoko
Because your heart is broken,
you don't know what's real anymore.
[07:01] Shoko
Did I get that right?
[07:06] Seigi
He... He has no idea how worried I am!
[07:12] Seigi
If he weren't such a good guy...
[07:15] Seigi
I wanted to be able to
help him out someday, too.
[07:22] Shoko
He must be to you like you are to me.
[07:29] Shoko
If you suddenly disappeared,
[07:32] Shoko
I wouldn't accept it. I'd go after you.
[07:35] Shoko
After all, there's no way
you wouldn't be hurting.
[07:46] Seigi
I'm going to look for Richard.
[07:50] Seigi
I might not find him...
[07:53] Seigi
and if I do, he might not be happy to see me.
[07:56] Shoko
Yeah?
[07:57] Seigi
Thank you, Tanimoto-san.
[07:59] Seigi
I really like you.
[08:04] Shoko
I hope you find Richard-san.
[08:08] Saul
You're going after Richard?
[08:10] Seigi
Yes. I've steeled my resolve.
[08:13] Saul
Did you come to an answer after
our conversation the other day?
[08:17] Saul
What will you do when you see him?
[08:19] Seigi
I'm going to tell him how mad I am.
[08:25] Saul
Well, aren't you just overflowing
with youthful energy?
[08:27] Saul
Have some red bean jelly and cool your head.
[08:31] Saul
It goes well with spiced tea.
[08:33] Seigi
I know Richard's family is
arguing over the inheritance.
[08:37] Seigi
I want to be with him so I can support him.
[08:40] Saul
So you can support him?
[08:44] Saul
The Claremont family owns land in London's
[08:48] Saul
preeminent financial district.
[08:51] Saul
They're a distinguished family that earns
a tremendous amount off of real estate.
[08:55] Saul
Their job is to protect
their status and wealth
[08:57] Saul
and pass it down to the next generation.
[09:02] Saul
He lives in a completely
different world than you.
[09:04] Seigi
I know that, but—
[09:06] Saul
You don't know.
[09:08] Saul
Do you really think there's anything a
college student like you can do for him?
[09:14] Saul
Know your limits.
[09:17] Seigi
There is something I can do.
[09:19] Saul
And what is that?
[09:21] Seigi
I can make pudding.
[09:26] Seigi
He likes sweet things when he's tired.
[09:30] Saul
Honestly...
[09:32] Saul
This is why I hate cleaning up after
that idiot apprentice of mine.
[09:35] Saul
He asked me to protect you,
[09:39] Saul
but if you're determined to leave,
then I'm not responsible for you.
[09:43] Seigi
He asked you to protect me? Richard did?
[09:47] Saul
His situation is just that complicated.
[09:51] Saul
I met him four years ago
in Ratnapura, Sri Lanka.
[09:57] Seigi
Where his grandmother's from...
[10:00] Saul
My first impression of him was terrible.
[10:03] Saul
He was using a fake name
to sell gemstones to tourists.
[10:09] Seigi
Was it Edward Baxter?
[10:11] Saul
He said being called Richard
brought back unpleasant memories.
[10:17] Saul
His methods were insane.
[10:19] Saul
He'd sell expensive gemstones on the cheap,
[10:23] Saul
but sell cheap gemstones at exorbitant
prices to people he didn't like.
[10:28] Seigi
Why did he do that?
[10:30] Saul
Who knows?
[10:32] Saul
But it seemed to me that he was in despair.
[10:38] Saul
Granted, he had a keen eye for gemstones.
[10:42] Saul
His brilliance struck a chord with me,
and he was fluent in multiple languages.
[10:48] Saul
So I proposed that he become my apprentice.
[10:52] Saul
Otherwise, I told him to return to England,
[10:55] Saul
and he firmly insisted on anything but that.
[11:01] Seigi
It's that bad?
[11:03] Seigi
What about his family?
[11:05] Saul
Estranged for the past four years.
[11:08] Saul
He doesn't even like using
the Claremont family name.
[11:12] Saul
But then he tells me he's heading home...
[11:18] Seigi
Richard's in London?
[11:21] Saul
Not even I know exactly where in London.
[11:25] Seigi
That's plenty.
[11:27] Seigi
I'm going to find Richard.
[11:31] Seigi
And if he needs my help...
[11:35] Saul
Make him pudding or whatever else he wants.
[11:38] Seigi
I will.
[11:39] Saul
But be on your guard.
[11:41] Saul
There are already people
watching you carefully.
[11:46] Seigi
The Claremont family?
[11:48] Saul
Good for you.
[11:50] Saul
Come back safe, Nakata-san.
[12:02] Seigi
Help me see Richard again, Grandma.
[12:23] Jeffrey
Is this your first time in the lounge?
[12:26] Seigi
Yes, it is...
[12:31] Jeffrey
Good evening.
[12:33] Seigi
Your Japanese is really good!
[12:35] Jeffrey
Thank you.
[12:38] Seigi
I'm not sure exactly why, but they told me
I was being upgraded to business class.
[12:42] Jeffrey
How very lucky for you, Nakata Seigi-kun.
[12:46] Seigi
Huh?
[12:46] Jeffrey
I arranged for the upgrade
on your connecting flight.
[12:51] Jeffrey
After all, it's a long flight to London.
[12:56] Jeffrey
Please, don't glare at me.
[12:58] Jeffrey
I'm Richard's cousin, Jeffrey.
[13:01] Jeffrey
Although I feel more like his older brother.
[13:04] Jeffrey
Nice to meet you.
[13:08] Jeffrey
You want to know why Richard
disappeared, don't you?
[13:12] Jeffrey
For the first time in four years,
[13:14] Jeffrey
he transferred some money out
of his English bank account.
[13:17] Jeffrey
In Japanese currency,
it was about five million yen.
[13:20] Seigi
Five million...
[13:23] Richard
I'm pleased that I was able to help.
[13:26] Jeffrey
My father contacted him through the bank.
[13:31] Jeffrey
My father was Richard's foster parent.
He owes him a great deal.
[13:35] Jeffrey
He probably couldn't refuse him.
[13:37] Seigi
Foster parent?
[13:39] Jeffrey
Richard's parents divorced
when he was young.
[13:42] Jeffrey
He lived with me and my older brother
Henry like we were one big family.
[13:47] Jeffrey
Look...
[13:48] Jeffrey
This is Richard.
[13:50] Jeffrey
He was cool and smart as a kid.
[13:54] Jeffrey
But when his dog Taro died, he cried
his eyes out into his pillow in his room.
[14:00] Jeffrey
Too cute, right?
[14:03] Seigi
Does this mean you followed me?
[14:06] Jeffrey
Before I tell you why I'm here,
I have a few things to share.
[14:14] Seigi
Richard's told me about the
dispute over the inheritance.
[14:19] Jeffrey
Well, a lot has happened.
[14:22] Jeffrey
Did you know our grandmother
is from Sri Lanka?
[14:27] Seigi
Yes.
[14:28] Jeffrey
When our grandfather married
Grandmother Leah,
[14:32] Jeffrey
the furious count disowned him.
[14:34] Jeffrey
He was stripped of his right to the title.
[14:37] Seigi
What?
[14:38] Jeffrey
What I'm about to tell you is my family's story
[14:42] Jeffrey
of gemstones and hatred.
[14:46] Jeffrey
My father is the ninth generation
of the Claremont family.
[14:50] Jeffrey
Richard's father was the third son.
An entomologist.
[14:53] Jeffrey
His mother was a blindingly
gorgeous French actress.
[14:59] Jeffrey
Our grandfather was the eighth generation,
[15:01] Jeffrey
and our great-grandfather the seventh.
[15:04] Jeffrey
But as I just mentioned,
[15:06] Jeffrey
there was discord between our
grandfather and great-grandfather.
[15:10] Jeffrey
Our great-grandfather had only one son,
[15:12] Jeffrey
so he planned to pass his title
on to someone else's child.
[15:17] Jeffrey
However...
[15:19] Jeffrey
The World War began, and the London
bombings nearly wiped out our family.
[15:24] Jeffrey
Our great-grandfather was left badly
injured and on the brink of death.
[15:30] Jeffrey
If a count dies without an heir,
[15:33] Jeffrey
his title and land are forfeited to the state.
[15:38] Jeffrey
In order to prevent that, relatives
summoned our disowned grandfather
[15:42] Jeffrey
to England from Sri Lanka.
[15:45] Jeffrey
Much to his disappointment, he inherited
the title from the late seventh count...
[15:49] Jeffrey
and became the eighth himself.
[15:53] Jeffrey
Would you like to sleep? Or may I continue?
[15:57] Seigi
Keep going.
[15:59] Jeffrey
Eight years ago,
Richard was a college student.
[16:04] Jeffrey
With the death of the family's trustee,
[16:07] Jeffrey
our great-grandfather's secret will
and fortune were unsealed.
[16:13] Jeffrey
Inside the safe was a 118-carat diamond.
[16:17] Jeffrey
Its market price was 300 million pounds.
[16:19] Jeffrey
At current rates, that would be
about 40 billion Japanese yen.
[16:25] Seigi
Forty billion?!
[16:27] Jeffrey
In England, the eldest child
inherits the entire fortune
[16:31] Jeffrey
to prevent it from being divided.
[16:33] Seigi
Then the diamond...
[16:36] Jeffrey
Normally, my father would have inherited it,
[16:40] Jeffrey
but there was an extremely odd
condition written into the will.
[16:44] Seigi
What?
[16:45] Jeffrey
"At the time of the will's unsealing
during the next count's generation,
[16:48] Jeffrey
whoever's mother's birthplace is closest
to England is to inherit the diamond."
[16:53] Seigi
Their mother's birthplace?
[16:56] Jeffrey
Yes.
[16:57] Jeffrey
The farther from England
our mothers were born,
[17:00] Jeffrey
the less of a claim we have
to the inheritance.
[17:02] Jeffrey
Richard's mother was French.
[17:05] Jeffrey
Ours was American.
[17:08] Jeffrey
America is farther away than France.
[17:11] Jeffrey
In other words...
[17:12] Seigi
Richard gets the diamond.
[17:15] Jeffrey
Bingo!
[17:16] Jeffrey
But one more thing.
[17:17] Jeffrey
In order to inherit the diamond,
[17:20] Jeffrey
he must marry a traditional
English housewife.
[17:24] Seigi
What? What kind of condition is that?
[17:28] Jeffrey
He'll inherit the diamond once married,
[17:30] Jeffrey
and there's a detailed list concerning
valid birthplaces for his spouse.
[17:34] Jeffrey
According to our family lawyer,
[17:37] Jeffrey
virtually no one but a traditional English
housewife would be acceptable.
[17:42] Seigi
What if Richard wants to marry
someone who doesn't fit the bill?
[17:46] Jeffrey
Then no one will inherit the diamond.
[17:48] Jeffrey
It will be donated to an
environmentalist group.
[17:51] Jeffrey
The same goes if he refuses to inherit it.
[17:54] Jeffrey
Goodbye, 300 million pounds!
[17:57] Jeffrey
The inheritance can't be carried over.
[17:59] Seigi
That's awful.
[18:01] Jeffrey
Isn't it?
[18:03] Jeffrey
The entire family should inherit
the 300-million-pound diamond.
[18:08] Jeffrey
He can solve everything by
marrying an appropriate person
[18:12] Jeffrey
and returning the diamond to the family.
[18:16] Seigi
You want him to marry
someone he doesn't even love?
[18:19] Jeffrey
This isn't the nineteenth century.
[18:22] Jeffrey
Once he inherits the diamond,
[18:24] Jeffrey
he can divorce her and run off
with whomever he likes.
[18:27] Jeffrey
That's all he needs to do,
but he's so stubborn.
[18:32] Seigi
I finally get it.
[18:35] Seigi
That's why Richard made that clause.
[18:38] Jeffrey
Answer me this one thing.
[18:40] Jeffrey
How far has your relationship with him gone?
[18:43] Seigi
Huh?
[18:44] Jeffrey
I know you weren't living together.
[18:47] Jeffrey
But our lawyer is very good.
[18:52] Seigi
What do you want with me?
[18:55] Jeffrey
Want with you?
[18:57] Jeffrey
You make it sound like I'm trying
to do something to you.
[19:01] Jeffrey
If you help us, we can
return the favor generously.
[19:05] Jeffrey
How about a job at a
foreign securities company?
[19:10] Seigi
Is that how you broke up
Richard and his girlfriend?
[19:16] Jeffrey
Goodnight, Nakata-kun.
[19:21] Jeffrey
Come on, Nakata-kun!
[19:23] Jeffrey
Smile, smile!
[19:25] Seigi
Once I exited customs,
[19:27] Seigi
Jeffrey dragged me around
to various tourist spots,
[19:31] Seigi
uploading the photos to social media.
[19:34] Jeffrey
Smile like you're looking at
your lover in the distance.
[19:42] Jeffrey
We'll have to retake that one.
[19:45] Seigi
Am I bait for you to catch Richard?
[19:50] Jeffrey
It's important to properly manage your
true intentions and stated reasons.
[19:54] Seigi
You actually like Richard, don't you?
[20:01] Jeffrey
What makes you say that?
[20:04] Seigi
That gemstone is an alexandrite.
[20:08] Seigi
Henry-san was wearing it
in the photo with the dog.
[20:12] Seigi
It appears green in natural light,
[20:14] Seigi
but it looked red on the plane,
so I didn't notice.
[20:19] Seigi
You had to choose between Richard
and your brother, too. Just like me.
[20:24] Jeffrey
Shut up!
[20:26] Seigi
I'm sorry. I...
[20:29] Jeffrey
When the will was unsealed,
[20:33] Jeffrey
Henry came down with a psychogenic disease.
[20:37] Jeffrey
The glances of our relatives all turned cold.
[20:40] Jeffrey
If not for me, he'd be alone.
[20:47] Jeffrey
After Richard disappeared, my brother
gave me his treasured gemstone.
[20:52] Jeffrey
I only asked Richard's girlfriend
to break up with him
[20:57] Jeffrey
because I didn't want Henry to die.
[21:06] Jeffrey
But you're free to judge
me however you want.
[21:19] Seigi
My head hurts. Am I coming
down with something?
[21:25] Jeffrey
Hello?

The sea... A blue gemstone? An aquamarine?

No, didn't Richard say...
[00:16] Richard
It means "the blue that came

That was...

It's sometimes called ultramarine.

You fool.

[02:54] Richard
I'll lecture you later.
[03:09] Richard
Airport, please.
[03:15] Richard
What are you thinking?
[03:18] Seigi
Sorry.
[03:20] Richard
I didn't ask for an apology.
[03:21] Seigi
Well, I'm really, truly sorry!
[03:24] Driver
Hey, calm down. Are you all right?
[03:27] Richard
Oh, pardon me.
[03:31] Richard
Seigi?
[03:33] Richard
Seigi, what's wrong?
[03:42] Richard
You're awake.
[03:44] Seigi
Where are we?
[03:50] Richard
Your fever seems to have come down a little.
[03:53] Seigi
I don't remember what happened
after we got in the taxi.
[03:56] Richard
You began losing consciousness and
would only say you were all right.
[04:01] Richard
We stopped at a nearby hotel, and I was
just thinking about calling a doctor.
[04:06] Seigi
Really, I'm fine now.
[04:09] Richard
Yes, you've said that a hundred times.
[04:11] Seigi
I'm surprised you knew we were there.
[04:14] Richard
The photos he uploaded to social media
were following his old walking route.
[04:20] Seigi
Then shouldn't we hurry up
and get out of here?
[04:23] Richard
Stay put. You still need to rest.
[04:26] Richard
Why are you here?
[04:28] Richard
I paid you more than the salary you were owed.
You should have nothing to complain about.
[04:35] Seigi
Richard, please... Don't disappear
on me without saying a word.
[04:41] Seigi
When you left, I felt like
a hole opened in my chest.
[04:46] Seigi
I couldn't do anything.
[04:47] Richard
There are some things that talking can't fix.
[04:51] Seigi
You didn't have to tell me why.
[04:53] Seigi
Just that you were going to London.
[04:55] Richard
Why would I need to tell you that?
[04:58] Seigi
Why?
[05:00] Seigi
Just like you've done for me,
if you're in trouble, I...
[05:05] Richard
It's much more useful
for you not to be here.
[05:08] Richard
Go home.
[05:10] Seigi
Trying to be too good will destroy you.
[05:14] Richard
I could say the same to you.
[05:17] Seigi
Why did he leave that will, anyway?
[05:21] Seigi
Surely it didn't have to be so mysterious.
[05:23] Richard
Perhaps there's no distinct
reason behind the malice.
[05:27] Richard
I suppose he was displeased with everything.
[05:30] Richard
His son running away,
the death of his family...
[05:34] Richard
Perhaps it was spite that made
the seventh Count Claremont
[05:37] Richard
want to restore the purity
of his family bloodline.
[05:42] Seigi
And you fought with Jeffrey and broke
up with your boyfriend because of it?
[05:50] Richard
What?
[05:51] Seigi
What?
[05:53] Richard
I've never had a male lover. Okay?
[05:58] Seigi
Okay...
[06:01] Richard
It seems you're confused,
but she was a Turkish Englishwoman.
[06:08] Seigi
I see.
[06:10] Seigi
So what are you going to do now?
[06:13] Richard
I have no obligation to honor the
hatred of a man who died alone.
[06:18] Richard
I will continue to run for as long as I must.
[06:23] Seigi
Run?
[06:24] Richard
It's what I've done for four years.
[06:27] Richard
I'm used to solitude.
[06:29] Richard
Once you've recovered,
you'll go to the airport
[06:32] Richard
and take the earliest flight back to Tokyo.
[06:35] Richard
Understood?
[06:36] Seigi
And then you'll vanish from my life forever?
[06:40] Seigi
You still haven't responded to my request.
[06:52] Richard
Seigi...
[06:54] Seigi
I crossed the ocean to get here, too.
[06:57] Seigi
I'm surprised you thought I'd
figure out that meant lapis lazuli.
[07:00] Richard
If you'd forgotten, then that's
all it would've meant to you.
[07:04] Seigi
Richard, I—
[07:05] Richard
Go home.
[07:07] Richard
A student's job is to study.
[07:10] Richard
You're far too young to be sticking
your nose into the affairs of adults.
[07:13] Seigi
You really are...
[07:20] Henry
Are you there? Do you hear me?
[07:24] Richard
Henry.
[07:25] Seigi
Huh?
[07:28] Seigi
What's that?
[07:37] Seigi
What's this doing here?
[07:42] Jeffrey
Are you there, Nakata-kun? It's Jeffrey.
[07:46] Jeffrey
It seems my phone ended up
in your bag somehow.
[07:51] Jeffrey
But thanks to its GPS functionality,
I was able to track it down.
[07:56] Seigi
Track?
[07:57] Jeffrey
My lawyer contacted me.
[08:00] Jeffrey
To cut to the chase, you weren't
on the unacceptable list.
[08:05] Seigi
What? That means...
[08:07] Jeffrey
You're a viable marriage candidate.
[08:09] Jeffrey
Congratulations!
[08:11] Jeffrey
So, Nakata-kun, will you help me?
[08:14] Richard
I warned you to stay out of my life!
[08:21] Richard
They're only interested
in inheriting the diamond.
[08:25] Richard
You don't need to listen to them.
[08:33] Richard
Seigi, we'll leave through the balcony.
[08:36] Henry
Mr. Nakata... Please, save Richard.
[08:40] Henry
Please...
[08:43] Richard
The nonsense of a ghost.
Don't listen to him.
[08:46] Seigi
But...
[09:05] Richard
Seigi!
[09:13] Seigi
Henry?
[09:15] Henry
Yes... Please save Richard.
[09:24] Jeffrey
Harry...
[09:25] Jeffrey
Nakata-kun, have you considered my offer?
[09:28] Richard
Seigi is just an employee.
Don't get him involved.
[09:33] Seigi
I'll help you.
[09:36] Jeffrey
That's great.
[09:37] Richard
Seigi!
[09:39] Seigi
So what do I have to do,
and how much are you paying me for it?
[09:57] Jeffrey
My lawyer confirmed that forming a
civil partnership with an Asian person
[10:04] Jeffrey
wasn't prohibited by the list.
[10:06] Seigi
A civil partnership?
[10:08] Jeffrey
It's a legally recognized partnership
between a same-sex couple,
[10:11] Jeffrey
equivalent to a heterosexual marriage.
[10:15] Seigi
Won't we need to register?
[10:17] Jeffrey
Don't worry. With both Richard
and his potential spouse present,
[10:21] Jeffrey
the diamond will be released.
[10:23] Jeffrey
Then, once you're married, it'll be all yours.
[10:26] Jeffrey
What do you say to splitting
the 300 million pounds evenly?
[10:29] Seigi
That makes about 20 billion yen...
[10:31] Seigi
It'll be taxed, won't it?
[10:33] Jeffrey
We'll take care of that.
[10:35] Jeffrey
You know, I think you and I are
going to be great friends.
[10:45] Jeffrey
You're so cold, Your Highness.
You should look happier.
[10:50] Jeffrey
Your lover is willing to pitch in
[10:53] Jeffrey
to potentially free us from
this troublesome curse.
[10:57] Seigi
He's just being shy.
[11:52] Seigi
Read this later.
[12:21] Richard
Seigi! Don't do it!
[12:22] Richard
That gemstone is—
[12:35] Jeffrey
What happened? Nakata-kun!
[12:51] Richard
It's a white sapphire.
[12:54] Richard
It's not a diamond.
[12:57] Jeffrey
It's not... a diamond?
[13:05] Seigi
The truth behind the cursed will was
hidden in that bundle of old letters.
[13:14] Eight
Dear Father, I received your kindness.
[13:19] Eight
My heart will always be with you.
[13:21] Eight
From Sri Lanka, with Leah.
[13:24] Seven
My beloved son,
you must not return to England.
[13:29] Seven
If you come home with Leah,
[13:31] Seven
the foolish white supremacists will
inflict unbearable humiliation upon you.
[13:38] Richard
It wasn't the seventh count who opposed
our grandfather's marriage, but the family.
[13:45] Seigi
Then why did he disown him?
[13:48] Richard
Likely to deceive the family.
[13:51] Richard
Our great-grandfather probably bought
the sapphire pretending it was a diamond,
[13:56] Richard
and sent his son the difference
in price as a gift before his death.
[14:01] Richard
At the time, this sapphire's market price
[14:03] Richard
was probably tens of thousands of pounds.
[14:06] Jeffrey
Not a 30-million-pound diamond,
[14:08] Jeffrey
but a white sapphire worth only
tens of thousands of pounds...
[14:12] Jeffrey
So why did he leave that will?
[14:15] Richard
It was probably his revenge
against the racists who tried
[14:18] Richard
to block his son's marriage.
[14:20] Jeffrey
His revenge?
[14:22] Richard
Originally, only their descendants
would've been bound by the will.
[14:27] Jeffrey
But the air raids threw everything off...
[14:31] Richard
He who hurts another hurts himself.
[14:35] Seigi
It's a saying that means
if you try to harm another,
[14:38] Seigi
you bring harm upon yourself, too.
[14:41] Richard
It was his beloved son's descendants
who fell into this cursed trap.
[14:46] Jeffrey
In other words, us.
[14:58] Seigi
Uh, I guess I'm going to the police?
[15:03] Richard
That won't be necessary.
[15:04] Richard
It wasn't a diamond.
[15:08] Richard
More importantly...
[15:10] Richard
Nakata Seigi, you don't understand anything.
[15:13] Seigi
Huh?

[15:29] Richard
You learned working at Étranger
[15:32] Richard
that diamonds are hard, but easily
broken with directional pressure.
[15:39] Richard
In order to nullify the will,
you planned to shatter the diamond,
[15:43] Richard
shoulder the blame,
and disappear from my life.
[15:47] Richard
Am I wrong?
[15:49] Seigi
I made up my mind yesterday...
[15:51] Seigi
Whoever's with you can make pudding for you.
[15:55] Richard
Do you take me for a man who'd presume
on your kindness and then abandon you?
[16:01] Richard
Did you think that would make me happy?
[16:03] Richard
Behave yourself.
[16:07] Richard
You once said you were afraid of
disappointing your loved ones
[16:10] Richard
because you couldn't do anything for them.
[16:13] Richard
When you talk of a "hero of justice,"
[16:16] Richard
you mean a useful tool to
be used in a time of need.
[16:20] Richard
In other words, the deep-seated
reason for your reckless behavior
[16:25] Richard
is that sense of powerlessness
that torments you.
[16:32] Richard
The last time we met, I told you
[16:34] Richard
that you didn't need to be
a hero of justice anymore.
[16:38] Richard
Your desire to be useful is admirable,
[16:42] Richard
but Seigi, your life belongs to you.
[16:49] Richard
I don't want you to become a useful tool.
[16:53] Richard
I want you to remain my
dear friend Nakata Seigi.
[16:57] Richard
The people who love you all
want you to be happy, Seigi.
[17:04] Richard
And it goes without saying
that I'm one of those people.
[17:27] Jeffrey
Are you hungry?
[17:31] Seigi
Oh, no.
[17:33] Seigi
I'm leaving tomorrow,
[17:35] Seigi
so I'm making pudding to apologize
to Richard and thank him.
[17:38] Jeffrey
Pudding?
[17:39] Jeffrey
Oh, that brings back memories.
[17:42] Jeffrey
Our governess used to make it for us.
[17:45] Seigi
Governess?
[17:47] Jeffrey
Our tutor. She'd make it for us as a reward.
[17:51] Seigi
I see.
[17:53] Jeffrey
Anyway, you got me.
[17:56] Jeffrey
The power of love is incredible, Nakata-kun.
[18:00] Jeffrey
You're quite the Japanese man.
[18:03] Jeffrey
You fooled a native from
the country of Shakespeare.
[18:07] Seigi
Oh, right, that...
[18:10] Jeffrey
But if you'd actually broken the diamond,
[18:13] Jeffrey
he probably would've spent
the rest of his life atoning to you,
[18:17] Jeffrey
or even said he'd prefer
to bear the blame with you.
[18:21] Seigi
I wouldn't want him to do that.
[18:23] Jeffrey
I see.
[18:25] Jeffrey
I actually wanted to apologize.
[18:27] Jeffrey
I'm sorry, Nakata-kun.
[18:30] Seigi
I also tried to use you, you know.
[18:34] Jeffrey
I'm glad Richard has you.
[18:36] Jeffrey
He doesn't need anyone other
than me making him unhappy.
[18:40] Seigi
It doesn't have to be right away,
but please talk to Richard.
[19:19] (Flashback) Tomoe
Well done. Have some pudding.
[19:37] Henry
The governess's pudding?
[19:40] Richard
I've had it almost a hundred times.
[19:44] Richard
So this time, I offer some to you...
[19:47] Richard
Though I would honestly prefer not to.
[19:52] Richard
What I desire now is to see you well.
[20:00] Richard
Let's eat, Harry and Jeff.
[20:06] Jeffrey
Thanks, Ricky.
[20:16] Richard
This is your ticket for today.
[20:18] Seigi
So, what are you going to do once
everything with the inheritance is settled?
[20:23] Richard
I haven't decided yet.
[20:25] Seigi
I see.
[20:30] Seigi
That's...
[20:32] Richard
I want you to hold on to this white sapphire.
[20:36] Seigi
What? But...
[20:37] Richard
There's too much history wrapped up inside it.
[20:40] Richard
I'd like you to keep it and drive that out.
[20:45] Richard
I've already spoken with my family.
[20:52] Seigi
It's not fair if I'm the only
one getting something.
[20:55] Seigi
I want you to have this.
[20:59] Richard
I can't accept that.
It belonged to your grandmother.
[21:02] Seigi
Then let's do this:
[21:04] Seigi
when I return your sapphire to you,
you can return this to me.
[21:10] Richard
Very well.
[21:12] Richard
Then let's make it the last
time you and I meet.
[21:15] Seigi
What?
[21:16] Richard
As long as we have these gemstones,
[21:20] Richard
whether we become civil
servants or mafia bosses,
[21:23] Richard
get married or fall ill,
[21:26] Richard
we must always remain in touch.
[21:30] Richard
Even if it's decades from now.
[21:35] Seigi
Got it.
[23:24] Seigi
Saul-san, I bought red bean jelly.
[23:29] Richard
Good morning, Seigi.
[23:34] Richard
You're here rather early.

[02:26] Chieko
Thank you for waiting.
[02:35] Chieko
Do you like Hugo?
[02:38] Seigi
I'm reading that right now
on a recommendation.
[02:41] Seigi
I just got to the part where
he steals the silverware.
[02:44] Seigi
I feel really bad for the protagonist.
[02:48] Chieko
No one who feels sorry for Jean Valjean
before his encounter with the bishop
[02:53] Chieko
is a bad person.
[02:54] Seigi
Huh?
[02:56] Richard
No one who feels sorry for Jean Valjean
before his encounter with the bishop
[03:00] Richard
is a bad person.
[03:05] Chieko
Is there something on my face?
[03:07] Seigi
Oh, no.
[03:12] Seigi
Pudding...
[03:14] Chieko
Do young folks not like pudding?
[03:17] Seigi
No, I love it.
[03:20] Seigi
Thanks for the treat.
[03:27] Seigi
This isn't ordinary sugar, is it?
[03:30] Chieko
I'm impressed you can tell.
[03:32] Seigi
It's honey... No, black sugar?
[03:38] Chieko
Well done.
[03:39] Seigi
Huh?
[03:40] Chieko
Oh, I'm sorry. Old habits die hard.
[03:44] Chieko
Despite how I seem now,
I used to be a teacher.
[03:47] Seigi
Really?
[03:48] Chieko
I was a tutor before I became a teacher.
[03:51] Chieko
I'd always tell the children they'd done well
when I rewarded them with pudding.
[03:56] Seigi
What?
[03:58] Seigi
Um, could I ask you a strange question?
[04:02] Chieko
What is it?
[04:04] Seigi
That photo was taken in England, wasn't it?
[04:07] Chieko
Yes.
[04:08] Seigi
That's Count Claremont's residence, right?
[04:13] Seigi
Does the name "Richard"
ring a bell, by any chance?
[04:19] Chieko
Richard-san...
[04:21] Seigi
I work at Richard's shop.
[04:25] Seigi
I was just thinking it'd be an incredible
coincidence if you're Richard's governess.
[04:34] Chieko
I'll make some more tea.
[04:44] Chieko
Thank you so much for today.
I appreciate the help.
[04:48] Seigi
No, thank you for the tea and pudding.
[04:52] Chieko
Excuse me...
[04:55] Chieko
I hate to ask such a thing of a
nice young man such as yourself,
[05:01] Chieko
but please keep the fact
that we met between us.
[05:04] Seigi
What?
[05:20] Seigi
It tastes different today, doesn't it?
[05:24] Richard
I demand an explanation.
[05:26] Seigi
An explanation?
[05:28] Seigi
An explanation, huh?
[05:29] Seigi
Um... the other day, when I went
to visit my mom, Hiromi...
[05:35] Richard
Seigi.
[05:37] Seigi
I'm sorry, but I can't tell you.
[05:41] Richard
I see. So that's the only
explanation you can give...
[05:52] Richard
Come to think of it,
[05:54] Richard
I haven't told you why
I still use the name "de Vulpian."
[06:00] Seigi
Does that have anything to do with this?
[06:03] Richard
I'm searching for a Japanese woman
who once took care of me.
[06:09] Richard
I took my mother's maiden name
[06:11] Richard
so that she'd recognize me
immediately if she ever saw it.
[06:16] Richard
For three years, between
the ages of six to nine,
[06:21] Richard
I learned Japanese from her.
SIGN 22 Years Ago
[06:27] Richard
At the time, my parents were already divorced,
[06:31] Richard
and I was living with my uncle.
[06:36] (Flashback) Chieko
Full marks for both of you. Well done.
[06:40] (Flashback) Richard
Yes! We get pudding!
[06:42] (Flashback) Jeffrey
I'm going to show Mother!
[06:52] (Flashback) Chieko
Young Master Richard,
you did a very good job, too.
SIGN 3 Years Later
[07:12] (Flashback) Count
What are we going to do about Ashcroft?
[07:16] (Flashback) Chieko
Did something happen with
Young Master Richard's father?
[07:20] (Flashback) Count
He's going to reconcile with Catherine
and move to the Amazon.
[07:24] (Flashback) Chieko
The Amazon?
[07:27] (Flashback) Count
It's probably just for appearances.
[07:30] (Flashback) Count
It's easier for an entomologist to get
through immigration with a family.
[07:36] (Flashback) Chieko
Then will Young Master Richard
be going to the Amazon, as well?
[07:39] (Flashback) Count
Indeed.
[07:41] (Flashback) Chieko
But if the family will all be together,
[07:43] (Flashback) Chieko
that's a great thing for him.
[07:47] (Flashback) Count
Catherine is an actress through and through.
[07:50] (Flashback) Count
She's no mother.
[08:12] (Flashback) Catherine
Richard!
[08:13] (Flashback) Richard
Maman...
[08:15] (Flashback) Catherine
Don't call me that.
[08:17] (Flashback) Richard
I'm sorry, Catherine.
[08:20] (Flashback) Catherine
Escort me, Richard.
[08:45] (Flashback) Count
Merry Christmas.
[08:46] (Flashback) All
Merry Christmas!
[08:50] Richard
It happened on Christmas night...
[08:58] (Flashback) Count
What is it, Catherine?
[09:00] (Flashback) Catherine
It's gone... My necklace is missing!
[09:05] Richard
The piece in question was a 19th-century
antique set with a large peridot.
[09:11] Richard
It was transformable jewelry
that could be taken apart.
[09:24] (Flashback) Count
We searched everywhere
and still couldn't find it.
[09:26] (Flashback) Count
Perhaps you've just forgotten
that you left it somewhere else.
[09:30] (Flashback) Catherine
It was there when I went to rest in my room,
[09:33] (Flashback) Catherine
and when I woke up, it was gone!
[09:36] (Flashback) Catherine
Someone must've taken it.
[09:39] (Flashback) Catherine
Let me go through your belongings.
[09:43] (Flashback) Jeffrey
Here we go again...
[09:45] (Flashback) Jeffrey
The queen is on a rampage.
[09:47] (Flashback) Count
Catherine, that's enough.
[09:50] (Flashback) Richard
There aren't any thieves here!
[09:53] (Flashback) Catherine
Are you sure about that?
[09:55] (Flashback) Chieko
What?
[09:56] (Flashback) Count
You think Chieko took it?
[09:59] (Flashback) Catherine
A poor student would need the money, after all.
[10:07] (Flashback) Count
Stop this, Catherine.
[10:11] (Flashback) Catherine
My, my... Look at this.
[10:16] (Flashback) Catherine
What's my necklace's clasp
doing inside your bag?
[10:27] (Flashback) Count
It's too hasty to assume she did
it on the basis of that alone.
[10:31] (Flashback) Count
Chieko, we're all on your side.
[10:35] (Flashback) Count
If there's some explanation for this, tell us.
[10:40] (Flashback) Chieko
I...
[10:53] Richard
In the end, we never found the necklace.
[10:56] Richard
For that and other reasons,
my parents didn't reconcile...
[11:00] Richard
and that was the last I ever saw of Chieko.
[11:05] Seigi
I see.
[11:07] Richard
But I absolutely must see her again.
[11:13] Richard
Seigi, Japan has a tradition
of visiting people to thank them.
[11:19] Richard
It's considered polite to bring a gift
[11:22] Richard
to the home of someone
who has been hospitable to you.
[11:26] Richard
It's a fantastic tradition.
[11:28] Richard
Don't you agree?
[11:32] Seigi
I do.
[11:43] Seigi
I'm sorry.
[11:45] Seigi
I couldn't keep it to myself.
[11:47] Chieko
I had a feeling this would happen.
[11:50] Chieko
But as I mentioned the other day,
[11:54] Chieko
a lot happened between me
and Young Master Richard.
[11:57] Seigi
Um, I came with a message from him today.
[12:02] Chieko
A message?
[12:03] Seigi
Yes.
[12:05] Seigi
Regarding the particulars of what
happened on Christmas nineteen years ago.
[12:14] Chieko
What did Young Master Richard tell you?
[12:18] Chieko
No, I should explain myself.
[12:22] Chieko
I don't know if I did the right thing.
[12:29] Chieko
All I can say for certain is that
I hurt Young Master Richard.
[12:38] (Flashback) Jeffrey
Today is... a very... auspicious day...
SIGN 22 Years Ago
[12:43] (Flashback) Chieko
Now say your greetings in Japanese.
[12:45] (Flashback) Richard
Nice to meet you, Chieko.
[12:48] (Flashback) Richard
It's good to see you.
[12:52] (Flashback) Chieko
Well done, both of you.
[12:56] (Flashback) Chieko
Here. This is your reward.
[13:03] (Flashback) Count
The children adore you.
[13:07] (Flashback) Count
Keep up the good work.
[13:09] (Flashback) Chieko
I'll do my best not to disappoint.
[13:21] (Flashback) Richard
Les Misérables...
[13:24] (Flashback) Richard
Thank you, Chieko!
[13:28] (Flashback) Richard
Why do these things keep
happening to Jean Valjean?
[13:32] (Flashback) Richard
I feel bad for him.
[13:35] (Flashback) Chieko
No one who feels sorry for Jean Valjean
before his encounter with the bishop
[13:39] (Flashback) Chieko
is a bad person.
[13:41] (Flashback) Chieko
You're a good boy, Young Master Richard.
[13:45] (Flashback) Chieko
Where's Young Master Jeffrey?
[13:47] (Flashback) Richard
He has a cold.
[13:49] (Flashback) Richard
Auntie is caring for him at his bedside.
[13:59] (Flashback) Chieko
If you catch a cold, I'll take care of you.
[14:11] (Flashback) Chieko
It's a promise.
[14:15] Chieko
Three years passed in the blink of an eye,
SIGN 3 Years Later
[14:19] Chieko
and the day I was to return to
Japan was fast approaching.
[14:23] (Flashback) Count
Chieko, if you were to
take work with us formally,
[14:27] (Flashback) Count
we'd pay you appropriately.
[14:29] (Flashback) Chieko
What? But I'm going back to Japan...
[14:33] (Flashback) Count
At home, isn't your only option to get
married and become a housewife?
[14:38] (Flashback) Count
You should instead remain here,
where you can study all you'd like.
[14:43] (Flashback) Chieko
I appreciate the offer, but...
[14:46] (Flashback) Count
There's no need to hold back, Chieko.
[14:49] (Flashback) Count
In the first place, do you have any idea
how sad Richard will be if you leave?
[14:53] (Flashback) Count
Richard loves you like a mother.
[14:57] (Flashback) Count
You don't want to leave him either, do you?
[15:00] (Flashback) Chieko
I...
[15:03] (Flashback) Count
I trust that you won't betray me, Chieko.
[15:20] Chieko
Then, that fated Christmas day...
[15:25] Chieko
Lady Catherine summoned me to
the garden at the edge of the lawn.
[15:32] (Flashback) Catherine
I have a request.
[15:35] (Flashback) Chieko
For me?
[15:40] (Flashback) Catherine
Think of it not as helping me,
but helping Richard.
[15:44] (Flashback) Chieko
What?
[15:45] (Flashback) Catherine
You know Ashcroft is planning
to reconcile with me, don't you?
[15:49] (Flashback) Chieko
Yes.
[15:50] (Flashback) Catherine
I want to wipe the slate clean.
[15:53] (Flashback) Chieko
You're not going to get back together?
[15:56] (Flashback) Catherine
No. I've realized this is best for Richard.
[16:04] (Flashback) Catherine
Honestly, at first, I wanted
to take him back from you.
[16:11] (Flashback) Catherine
That made me want to reconcile.
[16:13] (Flashback) Catherine
But that boy is part of the count's family.
[16:17] (Flashback) Catherine
He should receive an appropriate education.
[16:21] (Flashback) Catherine
It's best for Richard to stay here.
[16:27] (Flashback) Catherine
Are you okay with staying like this?
[16:30] (Flashback) Chieko
Me?
[16:33] Count
I trust that you won't betray me, Chieko.
[16:43] (Flashback) Chieko
Please let me help you, Lady Catherine.
[16:48] (Flashback) Catherine
Are you sure?
[16:52] (Flashback) Catherine
Thank you, Chieko.
[16:59] Chieko
I hid the necklace inside
a Christmas present.
[17:11] (Flashback) Catherine
It's gone... My necklace is missing!
[17:15] Chieko
The next morning, Lady Catherine
retrieved the necklace.
[17:21] Chieko
She claimed that she couldn't reconcile
[17:25] Chieko
with a man whose family
treated her like a liar.
[17:28] Chieko
Lord Ashcroft accepted that,
[17:30] Chieko
leaving Young Master Richard
with the count's family
[17:33] Chieko
and departing for the Amazon alone.
[17:38] Chieko
In the end, I returned to Japan
[17:40] Chieko
without even saying goodbye
to Young Master Richard.
[17:46] Chieko
At the rate I was going, I would have
been under the count's thumb forever,
[17:49] Chieko
unable to ever return home to Japan.
[17:51] Chieko
So in fear, I betrayed the young master.

[18:43] Richard
It's been so long.
[18:45] Richard
And, uh...
[18:49] Richard
What was I trying to say?
[18:52] Richard
I can't do it... I can't find the words.
[18:59] Richard
Chieko, I'm sorry for causing
you pain for so long.
[19:10] Chieko
I'm the one who should apologize.
[19:13] Chieko
All I could think about
was fleeing the manor.
[19:19] Richard
I knew what happened wasn't your fault,
[19:24] Richard
and that you'd continue
to feel responsible for it.
[19:30] Chieko
I've never been able to stop thinking
about how cruel I was to you.
[19:35] Chieko
I'm so very sorry.
[19:39] Richard
"Javert, there's nothing that I blame you for."
[19:42] Richard
"You've done your duty, nothing more."
[19:47] Chieko
Those were Jean Valjean's words to Javert.
[19:51] Richard
Let bygones be bygones, Chieko.
[19:56] Chieko
Thank you, Young Master Richard.
[20:01] Richard
I'm too old to be called
a young master anymore.
[20:04] Chieko
Back then, you used to look up at me.
[20:08] Chieko
You've grown so much.
[20:13] Richard
Chieko, I have a request.
[20:17] Richard
Shake my hand.
[20:20] Richard
No...
[20:22] Richard
Allow me to embrace you.
[20:42] Richard
Is this half of the necklace?
[20:46] Chieko
Before I returned to Japan,
Lady Catherine left half of it behind.
[20:53] Chieko
I've never been able to return it.
[20:56] Chieko
I'm like a thief.
[20:57] Seigi
You're wrong.
[20:59] Seigi
Just as Jean Valjean didn't steal anything,
[21:02] Seigi
this was a gift to you from Catherine-san.
[21:06] Chieko
Was the reason he recommended
this book to you...
[21:11] Richard
That's right.
[21:13] Chieko
You've made a good friend, Young Master.
[21:19] Richard
Regarding this piece of jewelry,
why not take this opportunity to remake it?
[21:25] Richard
I know a skilled artisan.

You really have become a fine man.

[00:01] Shimeno
Seigi.
[00:04] Shimeno
It's been a while. It's Dad.
[00:12] Seigi
How did you find me?
[00:14] Shimeno
You've grown so much, Seigi.
[00:16] Shimeno
The last time I saw you,
you were still in grade school.
[00:20] Shimeno
Why are you glaring at
your dad like that, Seigi?
[00:26] Shimeno
Oh, I get it.
[00:28] Shimeno
Your mother's turned you against
me by bad-mouthing me.
[00:33] Shimeno
You must've had a rough time.
[00:36] Seigi
Are you sorry?
[00:38] Shimeno
For what?
[00:39] Seigi
For hitting Hiromi.
[00:42] Shimeno
She's the one who hit me.
[00:45] Shimeno
It really hurt, you know.
[00:47] Seigi
That's because you hit her!
[00:49] Shimeno
That doesn't make it okay to hit someone.
[00:57] Seigi
It's clear to me now.
You're not sorry at all.
[01:00] Shimeno
Now that she and I are divorced,
we have nothing to do with each other.
[01:05] Shimeno
From now on, you and I should
live together as father and son.
[01:10] Seigi
I thought we had nothing
to do with each other now.
[01:13] Shimeno
Children can't cut ties with their parents.
[01:15] Shimeno
Half of you came from me, you know.
[01:19] Seigi
You're not my father anymore!

Hello, Hiromi?
[03:10] Hiromi
Seigi? Why are you calling so late?
[03:13] Seigi
Well... I was just wondering if anything
out of the ordinary has happened recently.
[03:18] Hiromi
Out of the ordinary?
[03:20] Hiromi
Oh, that's right!
Your dad's coming back next week.
[03:23] Hiromi
You should see him.
[03:27] Seigi
So Nakata-san's coming back, huh?
[03:29] Hiromi
Don't call him "Nakata-san."
He's your dad, you know.

I know. Bye.

Bragging about how much
you've been studying, are you?
[04:26] Seigi
Studying, huh?
[04:29] Seigi
Come to think of it,
exams are coming up soon...

[07:24] Shimeno
Welcome home, Seigi.
[07:27] Shimeno
I had no idea you had such a cute girlfriend.
[07:33] Seigi
She's not my girlfriend.
She's just an acquaintance.
[07:36] Seigi
It's none of your business.

[07:41] Shimeno
Come on, you don't need to go shopping.
[07:43] Shimeno
Let's go someplace to eat, Seigi.
[07:45] Shimeno
Your old man's hungry.
[07:47] Seigi
Have you ever wanted to die?
[07:50] Shimeno
What? Die?
[07:51] Seigi
I have.
[07:53] Seigi
I wanted to kill you, and then kill myself.
[07:58] Shimeno
Wait, Seigi. Why are you so mad?
[08:02] Seigi
How did you get my address?
[08:05] Shimeno
I, uh, just happened to find it.
[08:08] Shimeno
I guess we really do share
a bond as father and son.
[08:12] Seigi
There's nothing between you and me!
[08:20] Seigi
You have twenty seconds to disappear.
[08:25] Shimeno
Why are you being so mean?
[08:28] Shimeno
You're making your old man sad.
[08:30] Seigi
Twenty, nineteen...
[08:30] Shimeno
I've always loved you.
[08:34] Shimeno
When did you grow up to be a bad boy?
[08:34] Seigi
Eighteen, seventeen...
[08:38] Shimeno
Listen, Seigi. Hear me out.
[08:38] Seigi
Sixteen, fifteen...
[08:41] Shimeno
The bill collectors showed up.
[08:43] Seigi
Fourteen, thirteen...
[08:45] Shimeno
I'm telling you to listen!

Keep treating your father like this,
and you'll pay for it!

becoming more and more like me.
[09:05] Shimeno
You really are my son.

Three...
[09:08] Shimeno
You might think you're hiding it,
but it's no use.
[09:13] Shimeno
You'll end up just like me.

Who's this?
[10:10] Shimeno
Hello, Seigi? You home right now?
[10:12] Shimeno
I'm on my way over.
Leave the door unlocked.
[10:41] Richard
I've been expecting you.
[10:43] Nakata
Thank you for contacting me.
[10:52] Richard
It's been a while, Seigi.
[10:55] Seigi
Sorry for bothering you.
[10:58] Richard
You can make up for it by working for me.
[11:02] Seigi
About that...
[11:04] Seigi
I'm sure you've heard from Saul-san,
but I'm busy with my studies.
[11:09] Richard
Yes.
[11:10] Seigi
I want to quit as of today.
[11:13] Richard
I see. Very well.
[11:15] Seigi
Huh?
[11:16] Richard
Then I suppose this will be our last day
working together in the store.
[11:22] Seigi
I suppose it will.
[11:25] Richard
I look forward to one more day with you.
[11:29] Seigi
M-Me, too.
[11:34] Richard
Tanzanite is a blue zoisite from Tanzania.
[11:39] Richard
With its mystical color and
easy-to-remember name, it's quite popular.
[11:45] Richard
Because its color is reminiscent
of the pre-dawn sky,
[11:49] Richard
it's thought to help people inhabit new lives...
In other words, it signifies rebirth.
[11:55] Homura
Rebirth, huh?
[11:57] Homura
When I was a child,
I wanted to become an adventurer.
[12:00] Homura
But if I were reborn now,
[12:03] Homura
I'd like to work in a gemstone-related
profession like you.
[12:05] Richard
You intend to become my business rival?
[12:09] Homura
Go easy on me.
[12:11] Homura
Nakata-kun, if you could be reborn,
what would you want to be?
[12:14] Seigi
What? Me?
[12:16] Seigi
I'd like to be... anyone who isn't me.
[12:22] Homura
What's the matter, Nakata-kun?
[12:24] Seigi
Huh? Uh...
[12:26] Homura
You okay? Feeling a little tired?
[12:34] Richard
Regarding the earlier question...
[12:37] Richard
If I were reborn,
I would want to be someone like you.
[12:42] Seigi
Huh?
[12:43] Richard
Just as you released me
from that detestable will,
[12:47] Richard
if you're ever in trouble,
I'd like to be the one
[12:50] Richard
traveling to the ends
of the earth to help you.
[13:00] Seigi
Those words alone will keep me
going for the rest of my life.
[13:09] Seigi
Richard.
[13:12] Seigi
I may not have worked here long,
but thank you for everything.
[13:16] Richard
Before you go,
there's something I'd like to discuss.
[13:20] Richard
Shimeno Hisashi is a troublesome man.
[13:31] Seigi
Richard, you...
[13:33] Richard
You were acting strange,
so I had Jeffrey look into it.
[13:38] Richard
Remember, you flew to London
without saying anything to me.
[13:42] Seigi
Yeah, but...
[13:44] Richard
Why didn't you tell me?
[13:48] Seigi
There are some things I can't tell you...
[13:51] Richard
I could say the same thing to you,
who chased me all the way to London.
[13:58] Richard
There are some things in this world
we can't do anything about.
[14:00] Richard
How did you respond when I said that to you?
[14:05] Seigi
Well...
[14:06] Richard
If you won't say it, then allow me.
[14:09] Richard
Seigi, do you intend to carry
all your burdens alone?
[14:16] Richard
Why must you treat me like some
stone cast by the roadside?
[14:19] Richard
Who do you think I am?
[14:24] Richard
Because I love you so much,
I'm equally as angry with you.
[14:31] Richard
I've lived longer than you have.
[14:34] Richard
I know more than you do.
[14:37] Richard
But you left me behind and went
on to walk into darkness alone.
[14:43] Richard
Why?
[14:46] Seigi
If he knew I continued working here,
he'd come around to mooch money off of you.
[14:52] Seigi
He'd say a child's money
belongs to their parents.
[14:55] Seigi
That's just the kind of guy he is.
[14:57] Seigi
Once he figures out where you live,
he'll pester you until you leave.
[15:03] Richard
And you hid this even from your
mother in order to avoid that?
[15:10] Seigi
I don't want to trouble you
or Hiromi over this.
[15:14] Richard
I appreciate the thought, but you
need only take appropriate measures.
[15:20] Richard
What's the real reason you want
to quit working at Étranger, Seigi?
[15:31] Seigi
I... almost stabbed him the other day.
[15:36] Seigi
If he hadn't backed off,
I might've actually done it.
[15:42] Seigi
I'm sure I've lost your respect...
[15:44] Seigi
I may hide it from you,
but I'm actually a hopeless person.
[15:55] Richard
Thank you for telling me, Seigi.
[15:58] Seigi
Huh?
[15:59] Richard
In spite of that, you didn't lose your way.
[16:03] Richard
I admire that about you.
[16:08] Seigi
You mean... you haven't lost respect for me?
[16:12] Richard
If anything, shouldn't I applaud
the strength you've demonstrated
[16:15] Richard
by facing your own weakness?
[16:17] Seigi
I have no strength...
[16:20] Richard
I know better than you do
just how strong you are.
[16:27] Richard
You're bursting with not just strength,
but also kindness.
[16:31] Richard
You're a truly strong person.
[16:33] Seigi
But his blood flows inside me.
[16:38] Seigi
I'm afraid of myself.
[16:41] Richard
Then why not carry that weakness with you?
[16:45] Seigi
Huh?
[16:46] Richard
You can only run from someone
who won't listen to you.
[16:50] Richard
And that's coming from someone who's
been running from his own family,
[16:53] Richard
so you know it's true.
[16:57] Richard
Believe in yourself, Seigi.
[17:00] Richard
You're not alone.
[17:04] Seigi
I'm... not alone.
[17:08] Seigi
What should I have done?
[17:10] Richard
Whether choosing to run or to confront him,
you should've asked for help.
[17:16] Seigi
All right.
[17:17] Richard
Now, turn on your phone.
[17:20] Seigi
What?
[17:21] Richard
It's all right. I'm here for you.
[17:44] Shimeno
Oh? So you're an acquaintance of Seigi's, huh?
[17:47] Shimeno
I'm his father. Thanks for looking after him.
[17:52] Richard
What a strange thing to say.
[17:55] Shimeno
What's strange about that?
[17:57] Richard
As far as I'm aware, Seigi only has one father.
[18:02] Shimeno
What?
[18:03] Nakata
Hello.
[18:06] Shimeno
Who are you?
[18:07] Nakata
I'm Seigi's father.
[18:09] Shimeno
What?
[18:10] Seigi
Nakata-san?! Why...
[18:14] Nakata
Please stop following my son around.
[18:19] Shimeno
Oh, right. You're the guy Hiromi married.
[18:22] Shimeno
Well, I'm still Seigi's father by blood.
[18:27] Nakata
If you're his father, then answer me this.
[18:30] Nakata
Do you know how Seigi placed in his
sixth grade relay race on field day?
[18:35] Shimeno
What?
[18:36] Nakata
When is his birthday?
[18:38] Nakata
What's his favorite food?
His favorite sport?
[18:40] Nakata
What was the name of the teacher
Seigi was closest to in middle school?
[18:46] Nakata
I know all of that.
[18:47] Shimeno
S-So what?
[18:49] Nakata
We may not be related by blood,
but Seigi is my beloved son!
[18:57] Nakata
Anyone who bothers him deals with me.
[19:00] Nakata
So leave him alone.
[19:04] Shimeno
Don't you realize you can't sever
the bond between father and son?
[19:10] Shimeno
Seigi! Seigi, tell him!
[19:13] Nakata
Seigi...
[19:16] Seigi
I'm not Shimeno Seigi. I'm Nakata Seigi.
[19:19] Seigi
I'll never be like you.
[19:23] Nakata
Seigi...
[19:24] Shimeno
What are you talking about, Seigi?
[19:27] Richard
Even if you can't sever
the father-and-son bond,
[19:29] Richard
there are legal methods
to keep you at a distance.
[19:33] Richard
Wouldn't you prefer to avoid all that trouble?
[19:36] Richard
Or shall we go to the police?
[19:41] Shimeno
Damn it.
[19:55] Seigi
Nakata-san, how did...
[19:57] Nakata
Richard-san contacted me.
[20:00] Seigi
What? Richard?
[20:02] Nakata
Seigi...
[20:04] Nakata
You've grown so much!
[20:07] Seigi
Nakata-san?
[20:08] Nakata
You worked so hard!
[20:09] Seigi
I can't breathe...
[20:25] Seigi
Sorry I'm late!
[20:29] Richard
How was your coming-of-age ceremony?
[20:32] Seigi
Everyone was surprised when they saw these.
[20:36] Richard
They suit you.
[20:38] Richard
Nakata-sama made an excellent choice.
[20:41] Richard
He really is your father.
[20:44] Seigi
Richard, could you take a picture of me?
[20:47] Seigi
I want to send it to him.
[20:50] Richard
Very well.
[21:00] Seigi
Thanks.
[21:01] Richard
Seigi, do you recall what tanzanite signifies?
[21:08] Seigi
Rebirth?
[21:09] Richard
Good for you.
[21:10] Richard
Let us celebrate today as the
birth of the new Nakata Seigi.
[21:20] Seigi
Even if I'm reborn,
I want to stay Nakata Seigi.
[21:25] Seigi
I got to meet you, after all.
[21:30] Richard
Anyway, I thought I should gift
you something, as well.
[21:34] Richard
So I'd like to teach you English.
[21:36] Seigi
What? Where's this coming from?
[21:38] Richard
Your English in London was atrocious.
[21:44] Seigi
But I'd be really happy to have you teach me.
[21:54] Richard
Seigi, make some tea.
[21:56] Seigi
You got it!
