What is the Third Apostle?
Let's hear your answers.
I'll go first.
The nostalgic world in my father's writing...
Nobody's leaving.
He's coming! The mysterious man!
It's not enough...
It's a wonderful wine, but I don't feel the emotions that my father described.
Not in this 2000 Domaine Santa Duc Gigondas!
You thought the Third Apostle was a Gigondas?
Indeed.
What a childish mistake.
It's certainly an excellent wine,
but it lacks that otherworldly quality of an old movie
that's in the description of the Third Apostle.
Issei, what have you prepared for us?
A Rhône wine, just like Shizuku.
However, I chose not a Gigondas,
but an '81 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape!
This orange-red at its edges is truly that of the setting sun.
Yes, come to me!
Give me a piece of both sweetness and kindness.
Here, sir. Please have this.
Why so polite?
This isn't nostalgia...
It's twilight.
Issei, you've failed.
You've drowned in your oceans of knowledge
and lost your sense of taste.
Can you truly say that you tasted this with your own tongue
and thought about it with your own head?
That ass Yutaka put me, Robert, in charge of judging.
Thus, I will declare here and now...
In the battle for the Third Apostle...
I have no choice but to say that neither of you are worthy.
As you are now,
neither of you is capable of solving Yutaka's riddles.
It's true. This time I got scared
and tried to find the wine through process of elimination.
Please! Give me another shot!
I ask the same of you.
Please give me a chance!
Is it truly all right that Yutaka-sensei's wish for the two of them end here?
I'll give you three days.
This is your last chance.
Evening, in three days' time.
Bring me another wine and describe it for me!
What do we do?
We only have three days, and we have to start from scratch.
It's not from scratch.
After drinking that wine today,
I realized I'm on the right track.
The grapes are definitely Grenache.
It's a blended wine, with mostly vieilles vignes grapes.
And the vines are extremely old.
How do you know?
In the nostalgic world the Gigondas led me to,
I was with my friends the whole time.
There was no loneliness or fear.
That's why, when the mysterious man appeared,
I was able to take the candy he offered and eat it without hesitation.
But...
I get it.
If you were all alone and met a stranger, you'd be scared.
Yet my dad took the candy because this old man looked kind.
He had a smile that would give anyone a sense of relief.
Yeah.
So it's a wine made from the grapes of a gentle, very old vine...
And we've got three days to find it.
I look terrible.
The park is now closed.
Family Dreamland
We look forward to your next visit.

Give me an all-day ticket.
You're alone?
Yes.
One adult, please.
You seem tired.
To tell the truth, I got zero sleep.
I tried all the wines I could last night.
Get anywhere?
The Third Apostle is made from vines that are a century old.
It's a Grenache.
A Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
I feel like I'm getting involved in something incredible.
We have cheap and popular Rhônes here as well.
Please try some.
Thank you. I'll take you up on that.
What is it, Kanzaki-s—
Excuse me!
What is this?
A sculpture... made of wine corks?
We borrowed it from a certain artist to decorate our wine corner.
The wine I'm looking for is in there.
Can you tell me who made this?
That guy in the suit is pretty weird, right?
I know! He was here yesterday too.
He spent the whole day going between the rides.
Creepy, isn't it?

What an incredible house.
Just what you'd expect from a world-renowned artist.
Fuse-sensei uses unusual objects to make sculptures and frescoes.
For example, I think this piece is made with glass from shattered wine bottles.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Oh, you must be Fuse Juzaburo-sensei's granddaughter.
My name's Mao.
My parents aren't home, so I'll be the one helping you today.
This is about the piece you borrowed for the supermarket, right?
Could we speak to Fuse-sensei?
You're welcome to see, but...
Grandpa, you have visitors.
Do you recognize them?
Just after he finished that wine cork sculpture, he had a stroke.
He's barely gotten out of bed since.
I see.
I'm sorry I can't be of more assistance.
Maybe you can tell from his work, but my grandfather loves wine.
He told us there was one he wanted to have before he died.
But he had his stroke before we found out which wine it was.
I'm looking for it, but I'm too much of a beginner to tell anything.
Um, can you tell me more?
Supposedly it's a wine he promised to drink with my uncle,
his eldest son who died at the age of sixteen.
Here's my grandfather.
I think he would've been around thirty.
And this is...
Your uncle before his passing.
My grandfather went to France and became a famous artist following World War II.
Wow, really?
This field...
It's Châteauneuf-du-Pape!
I think there are lots of vineyards in Southern Rhône
hosting fields with rocks the size of potatoes.
I went with my dad once.
Yes.
My grandfather once worked at a winery somewhere.
My uncle helped him with the harvest, and that's when they made their promise.
The one you were just talking about.
Yes. In fact...
Thanks so much for helping me look for the wine.
After hearing what you said, I'm positive
that the wine Fuse-sensei wants for his final drink
might be the nostalgic wine I'm looking for.
He's here because he was able to smell the particular bottle
he's after among all those corks used in the sculpture.
Is that even possible?
He had all these wines...
What did he think about them?
With so many bottles, we can't exactly open them all and try them, can we?
Then the next place we'll go is...
This is my grandfather's studio.
I smell wine.
Bordeaux, Burgundy, and...
Rhône.
It's like all the wines in the world are here.
But most of the glasses have been washed.
What's the source of the scent?
I guess it's soaked into the room...
Kanzaki-san?
I smelled the nostalgic wine on the breeze coming through the window.
But I don't see any bottles or corks...
Could it be?
Mao-san, did Fuse-sensei use these brushes with wine instead of paint?
I couldn't say.
When Grandfather went into his studio,
he'd lock the door and let no one in.
Then if he has any paintings, let's take a look at those.
I'm sorry. My father is an art dealer.
He sells my grandfather's works as soon as they're finished.
So there isn't much left.
That brush isn't for painting.
It's for sketching!
Then if we could see his sketches...
Well...
My grandfather's never shown anyone his sketches.
My parents know they'd be valuable, so they've scoured the place for them
but never managed to find them.
When I finish my sketch, my work is complete.
All that's left is to pull it out of my head and bring it to life.
Then it's possible he'd destroy his sketches as he finished his pieces.
The park is now closed.
We look forward to your next visit.
I can't let it end like this.
I can't...
What? You want to rent out the entire park until tomorrow morning?
I have my reasons.
A wine critic?
No way! I knew it!
You're Tomine-san from Monthly Gourmet Queen, right?
Wow, you're so much more handsome in real life!
That's you?
Yes.
Does that make you feel better?
No, but...
I've prepared a million yen.
Is there any way you can help me?
Beautiful, isn't it?
We used to stay open until 8:00 PM.
But as there are so many other amazing parks these days,
we close at 6:00 PM now.
An empty amusement park is a lonely place.
Even if it's all lit up.
Enjoy yourself.
Thank you.
I can't fail here. I can't!
Kanzaki-san,
how much time do you have to find the Third Apostle?
Until tomorrow evening.
Less than 24 hours?
I think we've checked everywhere in this house
you could possibly hide something.
Wait, actually...
My grandfather would make me
a wood carving portrait as a birthday present every year.
Only our family has ever seen them.
Stunning!
I'm such a huge fan of Fuse-sensei!
Kanzaki-san?
I smell wine.
That nostalgic wine.
But there's no wine here...
The carvings!
It's coming from the carvings.
Was he drinking as he carved them?
The number of aromas is unbelievable.
There's hundreds... No, maybe over a thousand.
Can I take one of them down?
Sure.
This is a trick box.
The trick's hidden in the grapes.
If I move this like this...
It opened!
There's something inside.
Mao-san!
His sketches!
The color has changed, but these were painted with wine.
These are all motifs from my grandfather's work.
This is the one we're putting in our supermarket.
Who's this boy looking at the sculpture?
Did he make that sculpture for his late son?
My grandfather's handwriting...
There's something written on the back in French.
It's the name of a wine!
This is the nostalgic wine...
The Third Apostle.
This is the wine my grandfather wanted to drink before he died, right?
I'm pretty sure of it.
I think the wine I smelled from the cork had to be...
Grandpa,
I've got something for you to drink today.
Go ahead.
Okay.
Wow...
Grandpa?
Mao-san.
Grandpa.
This is the wine you wanted.
Grandpa...
Grandpa!
Dad!
Honey...
Juzaburo!
Brother!
Juzaburo!
Dad.
Kazuki!
These grapes are going to become wine, huh?
Yeah.
These vines are about fifty years old,
so they make very good wine.
Man, I wish I could have some.
You're still a child.
But even fifty years from now, these vines will still grow wonderful grapes.
Fifty plus fifty... That's a hundred!
That's amazing!
I want to try wine from hundred-year-old vines!
Okay, then let's do it.
It's a promise, dad!
Yeah. It's a promise.
Kazuki...
This is the wine from those grapes.
Let's have a toast.
I'm so glad...
You got to keep your promise.
Where am I?
I see...
I'm still at the amusement park.
Nobody's here.
I'm all alone.
Mom?!
My mother's not here...
Hey, watch out!
The park is now closed.
We look forward to your next visit.
I have to find mom...
But...
Where did she go?
Issei.
Come with me.
Come on.
His hand's so big and warm...
Issei!
Mom!
Thank you.
Shall we have a ride?
But it's already...
Let's do it. The three of us.
It'll be fine.
Come on, Issei.
1 Day Left
Day of the Rematch
I see.
So the hand that saved me from loneliness was...
I've finally reached them, Kanzaki Yutaka...
The feelings behind your description.
The wine that matches those big, warm hands...
There's only one in the world it could be!
Right...
Father?
