1. June 19th.
Copy !req
2. I met with Franz Bonaparta for the first time.
Copy !req
3. R.F. 1719.
Copy !req
4. A man with a quiet and calm demeanor.
Copy !req
5. A refined and aristocratic look.
Copy !req
6. Dressed in a suit.
Copy !req
7. In the afternoon...
Copy !req
8. the children gathered for a book reading.
Copy !req
9. Where do you want to go?
Copy !req
10. The border.
Copy !req
11. Which one?
Copy !req
12. The Czech border.
Copy !req
13. Get in.
Copy !req
14. Thank you.
Copy !req
15. In the afternoon, the children gathered for a book reading.
Copy !req
16. A very strange mansion.
Copy !req
17. The Red Rose Mansion.
Copy !req
18. P. Brevnov W.
Copy !req
19. A spire on the left.
Copy !req
20. A weather vane on the right.
Copy !req
21. Human dignity.
Copy !req
22. An experiment.
Copy !req
23. A wonderful experiment.
Copy !req
24. The deprivation of dignity.
Copy !req
25. What country are you from?
Copy !req
26. I asked where you're from.
Copy !req
27. I'm Japanese.
Copy !req
28. I don't know if a Japanese person would like this, but...
Copy !req
29. Eat it.
Copy !req
30. It's left over from my lunch, though.
Copy !req
31. Thank you.
Copy !req
32. But...
Copy !req
33. Just eat it!
Copy !req
34. You look like you're gonna collapse any second now.
Copy !req
35. My wife keeps nagging at me to lose some weight.
Copy !req
36. Well, thank you.
Copy !req
37. Yeah, eat up!
Copy !req
38. If you don't, you won't make it through the long journey.
Copy !req
39. I need to end this journey already...
Copy !req
40. The Never-ending Journey
Copy !req
41. What did you say?
Copy !req
42. You let him go?
Copy !req
43. You just let Tenma leave?
Copy !req
44. Yes.
Copy !req
45. Why didn't you stop him?
Copy !req
46. You already know he's a man you can't stop.
Copy !req
47. Yeah, but...
Copy !req
48. On top of which...
Copy !req
49. we're in a dire situation with Eva Heinemann missing.
Copy !req
50. Tenma even escaped from jail because of her.
Copy !req
51. That lawyer who called himself Baul...
Copy !req
52. He's most likely the same man who
tried to kill me at my clinic.
Copy !req
53. His objective was to get close to me...
Copy !req
54. and obtain my father's notes.
Copy !req
55. Those notes must be very important.
Copy !req
56. I'll be going now.
Copy !req
57. Where to?
Copy !req
58. To where Tenma is headed.
Copy !req
59. The "Red Rose Mansion"?
Copy !req
60. Where is it?
Copy !req
61. My father's notes were full of meaningless descriptions...
Copy !req
62. but I don't think they were written in code.
Copy !req
63. The Red Rose Mansion.
Copy !req
64. P. Brevnov W.
Copy !req
65. P is for Prague.
Copy !req
66. W means west.
Copy !req
67. A suburb of Prague, west of Brevnov!
Copy !req
68. A place where you can see "a spire on the left..."
Copy !req
69. "and a weather vane on the right."
Copy !req
70. I see!
Copy !req
71. I just hope there's an eyewitness or someone who
can help us solve the case at that mansion.
Copy !req
72. But it's unlikely now...
Copy !req
73. No.
Copy !req
74. "In the afternoon, the children
gathered for a book reading."
Copy !req
75. That was described in the notes.
Copy !req
76. The children from back then could be our witnesses.
Copy !req
77. Mr. Verdeman.
Copy !req
78. I blamed you for letting Tenma go.
Copy !req
79. But if I had been in that situation...
Copy !req
80. I think I would've done the same.
Copy !req
81. All right, let's get going.
Copy !req
82. I was here...
Copy !req
83. I used to live in this town...
Copy !req
84. And...
Copy !req
85. Welcome home.
Copy !req
86. Are you okay, Nina?
Copy !req
87. I'm okay...
Copy !req
88. I think it's better if we give up.
Copy !req
89. No matter how many times we do this, we still get lost.
Copy !req
90. No, I'm sure I'll remember.
Copy !req
91. Back then, my brother told me what happened.
Copy !req
92. How he was taken away from The Three Frogs...
Copy !req
93. What he passed, and where he went.
Copy !req
94. He went past the train station...
Copy !req
95. and while he was watching the town on his left...
Copy !req
96. a trolley followed him along the river.
Copy !req
97. Please turn right over...
Copy !req
98. You shouldn't.
Copy !req
99. You shouldn't hide anything from him.
Copy !req
100. Turn right?
Copy !req
101. What's wrong?
Copy !req
102. I-It's nothing...
Copy !req
103. Well?
Copy !req
104. Do you recognize any landmarks?
Copy !req
105. I don't know...
Copy !req
106. It's useless!
Copy !req
107. You can't remember something from so long ago.
Copy !req
108. Nina!
Copy !req
109. A weather vane on the right...
Copy !req
110. A church spire on the left...
Copy !req
111. Nina!
Copy !req
112. The Red Rose Mansion!
Copy !req
113. Is this the place?
Copy !req
114. I don't know.
Copy !req
115. But...
Copy !req
116. I know this place.
Copy !req
117. I'm scared...
Copy !req
118. What's that?
Copy !req
119. It's like a door just appeared from inside the wall.
Copy !req
120. There's nothing in this room.
Copy !req
121. Nina?
Copy !req
122. Nina?
Copy !req
123. Nina!
Copy !req
124. You devil!
Copy !req
125. You devil!
Copy !req
126. The devil has been slain.
Copy !req
127. How are you feeling?
Copy !req
128. Welcome back, Mr. Lipsky.
Copy !req
129. Did you get any customers?
Copy !req
130. No, business was as bad as usual.
Copy !req
131. But the puppets are all so wonderful.
Copy !req
132. The one I'm making now is even better.
Copy !req
133. I want to see it soon.
Copy !req
134. Once I finish, you'll be the first to see it.
Copy !req
135. It's time for me to go to work.
Copy !req
136. At the restaurant?
Copy !req
137. Yeah, I can't earn a living on just the puppets.
Copy !req
138. I'm really sorry for imposing on you for so long...
Copy !req
139. No, it's okay.
Copy !req
140. Don't worry about it.
Copy !req
141. Mr. Lipsky, there's something I want to ask you.
Copy !req
142. W-What is it?
Copy !req
143. Three months ago...
Copy !req
144. when you found me after I collapsed
and took me to a hospital...
Copy !req
145. Yes?
Copy !req
146. Why were you at that mansion?
Copy !req
147. Nina?
Copy !req
148. Nina?
Copy !req
149. Nina!
Copy !req
150. Answer me, Nina?
Copy !req
151. Nina!
Copy !req
152. What's wrong?
Copy !req
153. When I go to that mansion...
Copy !req
154. images come to me for my work.
Copy !req
155. How should I put it...
Copy !req
156. But right now, more than that mansion, I...
Copy !req
157. No, it's nothing.
Copy !req
158. Anyway, don't worry about it.
Copy !req
159. You can stay here for as long as you like.
Copy !req
160. Nina...
Copy !req
161. Can I come in?
Copy !req
162. O-Of course!
Copy !req
163. Are you sure you should be out of bed?
Copy !req
164. Yeah.
Copy !req
165. Wow!
Copy !req
166. So this is where the puppets are born.
Copy !req
167. Too bad I don't have any customers.
Copy !req
168. What kind of story is it?
Copy !req
169. It's the story of a devil.
Copy !req
170. What's wrong, Nina?
Copy !req
171. No, go on.
Copy !req
172. A devil who leaves to find the dragon
that threatens to destroy this world...
Copy !req
173. but almost dies in the middle of his journey.
Copy !req
174. A young man passing by saves his life, though.
Copy !req
175. When the young man learns the true
identity of the one he saved...
Copy !req
176. he goes after the devil.
Copy !req
177. And at the end of his journey, the
young man finds the devil...
Copy !req
178. and with a knife in his hand, slays the devil.
Copy !req
179. I think it's an interesting story, but...
Copy !req
180. nobody seems to like it.
Copy !req
181. A-Are you okay, Nina?
Copy !req
182. I think I would do the same.
Copy !req
183. I would do the same.
Copy !req
184. But...
Copy !req
185. I can't let him do something like that.
Copy !req
186. Nina?
Copy !req
187. If you were human...
Copy !req
188. you'd save that devil.
Copy !req
189. You think so?
Copy !req
190. I think he'd like this story.
Copy !req
191. Who?
Copy !req
192. On this bookshelf...
Copy !req
193. They're all picture books.
Copy !req
194. Jakob Farobek.
Copy !req
195. klaus Poppe.
Copy !req
196. Emil Scherbe.
Copy !req
197. "The Monster Without a Name."
Copy !req
198. I'm surprised you know of it.
Copy !req
199. He wrote many picture books.
Copy !req
200. Jakob Farobek.
Copy !req
201. klaus Poppe.
Copy !req
202. Emil Scherbe.
Copy !req
203. They're all pen names of the same person.
Copy !req
204. The man named Franz Bonaparta.
Copy !req
205. Franz... Bonaparta...
Copy !req
206. Human beings...
Copy !req
207. can become anything.
Copy !req
208. Because I wasn't a "superior child..."
Copy !req
209. I was driven away from the book readings.
Copy !req
210. Book readings?
Copy !req
211. His book readings were held at the Red Rose Mansion.
Copy !req
212. I was a student there.
Copy !req
213. I understood what he was trying to do.
Copy !req
214. "A deal! Let's make a deal!"
Copy !req
215. said the devil.
Copy !req
216. "No! Absolutely not!"
Copy !req
217. said the man with big eyes.
Copy !req
218. "Yes! Let's make a deal!"
Copy !req
219. said the man with a big mouth.
Copy !req
220. The man with a big mouth's yard became a flower garden.
Copy !req
221. The man with big eyes became destitute and starved.
Copy !req
222. The man with a big mouth was cheerful every day.
Copy !req
223. He was full from all his ripened fruit.
Copy !req
224. That is why he did not notice.
Copy !req
225. His flower garden was wilting away.
Copy !req
226. In the garden where no flower would ever bloom again...
Copy !req
227. the man with a big mouth cried and muttered...
Copy !req
228. "I should never have made a deal with the devil."
Copy !req
229. The man with big eyes was so hungry
that he thought he would die.
Copy !req
230. Shedding tears, he muttered...
Copy !req
231. "I should have made a deal with the devil."
Copy !req
232. "A deal! Let's make a deal!"
Copy !req
233. said the devil.
Copy !req
234. "The Man with Big Eyes, the Man with
a Big Mouth," by Jacob Farobek.
Copy !req
235. Each Friday at three o'clock in the afternoon...
Copy !req
236. we would gather for the book readings.
Copy !req
237. We would sit around him...
Copy !req
238. and listen as he read us a book.
Copy !req
239. With his kind voice...
Copy !req
240. A very calm and kind voice...
Copy !req
241. And when he finished reading a story...
Copy !req
242. he would ask us.
Copy !req
243. "The meaning of the story..."
Copy !req
244. "do you understand?"
Copy !req
245. I... I understand...
Copy !req
246. I also understood after reading it many times.
Copy !req
247. Then...
Copy !req
248. he would take another picture book into his hands.
Copy !req
249. "The God of Peace," by klaus Poppe.
Copy !req
250. All right, let's try reading this next.
Copy !req
251. It's as if I've come here for the first time.
Copy !req
252. Although it took me quite some time...
Copy !req
253. all the memories have come together.
Copy !req
254. The god of peace is always busy.
Copy !req
255. He is too busy to look in a mirror...
Copy !req
256. and blows his horn every day.
Copy !req
257. The god of peace's horn makes everyone happy.
Copy !req
258. The god of peace is always busy.
Copy !req
259. He is too busy to look in a mirror...
Copy !req
260. and scatters magical water.
Copy !req
261. The magical water creates green mountains...
Copy !req
262. ripens crops, and makes flower gardens grow.
Copy !req
263. The god of peace is always busy.
Copy !req
264. He is too busy to look in a mirror...
Copy !req
265. and gives everyone a name.
Copy !req
266. "Your name is Otto."
Copy !req
267. "Your name is Hans."
Copy !req
268. "Your name is Thomas."
Copy !req
269. "Your name is..."
Copy !req
270. "Johan."
Copy !req
271. Johan gave his hat to the god as a gift in return.
Copy !req
272. The god was very happy.
Copy !req
273. Because he wanted to see himself wearing the hat...
Copy !req
274. he stood in front of a mirror for the first time.
Copy !req
275. However...
Copy !req
276. what he saw in the mirror was a devil.
Copy !req
277. The devil spoke to him.
Copy !req
278. "I am you..."
Copy !req
279. "and you are me."
Copy !req
280. "Oh, no!"
Copy !req
281. "No one can live in peace with a devil like this!"
Copy !req
282. "What should I do?"
Copy !req
283. So, the troubled god...
Copy !req
284. Do you know what he did?
Copy !req
285. I figured that out.
Copy !req
286. Do you know?
Copy !req
287. Do you know what the "god" did after this?
Copy !req
288. I do...
Copy !req
289. We finally meet.
Copy !req
290. I'm home.
Copy !req
291. Welcome back.
Copy !req
292. It's me, Mother.
Copy !req
293. I don't think even you could have told us apart, Mother.
Copy !req
294. I am her, and she is me.
Copy !req
295. I am you, and you are me.
Copy !req
296. I understand everything now.
Copy !req
297. Where we came from...
Copy !req
298. and where we are heading.
Copy !req
299. The weather outside is wonderful, Mother.
Copy !req
300. Let the flames engulf everything.
Copy !req
301. I understand...
Copy !req
302. The god...
Copy !req
303. pointed the gun...
Copy !req
304. at his forehead!
Copy !req
305. Shoot me.
Copy !req
306. Yes... Gazing at what is known now in this world...
Copy !req
307. Yes... Your eyes believe in kindness...
Copy !req
308. Make it home... to your land of harmony...
Copy !req
309. Make it home... to your land of purity...
Copy !req
310. That Night
Copy !req
