    Sorry for making you do this.

    What are you talking about?
[02:06] Chieko
    If I didn't at least treat you to some tea,
    the gods would surely punish me.

[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.

    Young Master Richard...
[18:05] Seigi
    Richard's been looking for you this whole time.
[18:11] Seigi
    Please...
[18:36] Richard
    Chieko.
[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.
[21:28] Chieko
    You really have become a fine man.
[21:32] Richard
    Thanks to you.
[21:57] Man
