RETURN SWIFTLY
TO DEFEND YOUR FELLOW COUNTRYMEN
4
00:01:27,983 --> 00:01:30,820
It's all just... such a shock.
5
00:01:33,489 --> 00:01:37,493
This morning, I received a telegram
from the Ministry of Education.
6
00:01:38,285 --> 00:01:41,413
I didn't know what to make of it
because it was so sudden.
7
00:01:42,373 --> 00:01:45,709
I wanted to double-check
with the academy what I'm supposed to do.
8
00:01:46,919 --> 00:01:47,920
Are we...
9
00:01:49,004 --> 00:01:50,506
Are we at war?
10
00:01:52,258 --> 00:01:53,801
Have you heard anything?
11
00:01:57,388 --> 00:01:59,306
Shin, I have a favour to ask you.
12
00:01:59,390 --> 00:02:00,683
Huh?
13
00:02:01,433 --> 00:02:03,936
Please promise me
that you will take her home.
14
00:02:04,770 --> 00:02:06,188
See that Lili's all right.
15
00:02:06,689 --> 00:02:08,065
But, Kit...
16
00:02:13,571 --> 00:02:16,699
I'm sorry, but that's your duty.
17
00:02:17,366 --> 00:02:19,618
You know how she feels
about you, don't you?
18
00:02:19,702 --> 00:02:22,746
- And we all know that you feel the--
- I have to go and work abroad.
19
00:02:22,830 --> 00:02:24,832
I won't be back in England for some time.
20
00:02:24,915 --> 00:02:26,208
Huh?
21
00:02:27,626 --> 00:02:30,171
I must live up
to my responsibilities.
22
00:02:33,215 --> 00:02:35,301
I won't run away any more.
23
00:03:35,361 --> 00:03:36,362
Kit...
24
00:03:39,740 --> 00:03:41,075
Where are you?
25
00:03:54,171 --> 00:03:55,965
Welcome home, Lili.
26
00:03:57,132 --> 00:03:58,217
Thank you.
27
00:03:58,300 --> 00:03:59,802
A telegram came for you,
28
00:03:59,885 --> 00:04:01,929
and I put it just outside your door.
29
00:04:02,012 --> 00:04:03,347
A telegram?
30
00:04:03,430 --> 00:04:05,349
Yes, it's from Japan.
31
00:04:05,891 --> 00:04:11,814
LILI ICHIJOIN
RETURN HOME IMMEDIATELY
32
00:04:11,897 --> 00:04:13,816
Huh?
33
00:04:15,025 --> 00:04:17,695
What on earth is going on?
34
00:04:19,905 --> 00:04:22,408
Hm? Oh!
35
00:04:22,491 --> 00:04:23,575
Shin!
36
00:04:24,159 --> 00:04:24,994
Huh?
37
00:04:25,077 --> 00:04:28,664
- Shin, are you there? Shin! Shin!
- Uh...
38
00:04:29,164 --> 00:04:31,792
{\an8}
39
00:04:36,338 --> 00:04:38,674
So you got a telegram too, then?
40
00:04:39,925 --> 00:04:41,343
What shall we do?
41
00:04:42,136 --> 00:04:45,139
It's come direct
from the Ministry of Education.
42
00:04:45,222 --> 00:04:47,599
We're studying here
at our government's expense.
43
00:04:47,683 --> 00:04:49,059
We don't have a choice.
44
00:04:50,060 --> 00:04:53,647
But it... it's all so sudden.
I don't understand.
45
00:04:54,356 --> 00:04:57,568
I really have no idea what to do.
46
00:04:58,652 --> 00:05:00,404
If all the rumours are true,
47
00:05:00,487 --> 00:05:03,240
and war breaks out
into a European conflict,
48
00:05:03,324 --> 00:05:06,243
then England may also
turn into a battlefield.
49
00:05:06,327 --> 00:05:07,536
What?
50
00:05:09,455 --> 00:05:11,749
How terrible.
51
00:05:15,085 --> 00:05:17,755
It's all right, Lili.
It's probably a precaution.
52
00:05:18,255 --> 00:05:21,133
But still,
we should start preparing to go.
53
00:05:21,925 --> 00:05:24,970
We can always come back
if things calm down.
54
00:05:25,846 --> 00:05:28,432
We will return to London.
55
00:05:35,564 --> 00:05:36,565
Yes.
56
00:06:16,313 --> 00:06:18,023
As you will all know,
57
00:06:18,107 --> 00:06:22,236
due to the unfortunate events
which took place in Sarajevo,
58
00:06:22,319 --> 00:06:25,447
tensions have been rising
all across Europe.
59
00:06:26,323 --> 00:06:29,868
Unfortunately,
the skills you have been learning here
60
00:06:29,952 --> 00:06:33,622
are regarded as superfluous
to the current situation.
61
00:06:34,415 --> 00:06:35,457
And so,
62
00:06:36,291 --> 00:06:41,463
I'm sure you must be spending each day
mired in anxiety and agitation.
63
00:06:42,172 --> 00:06:45,759
But there is something that we can do.
64
00:06:46,552 --> 00:06:48,053
Can we not paint
65
00:06:48,554 --> 00:06:52,975
so that we may convey this moment
for generations to come?
66
00:06:53,809 --> 00:06:57,938
This is the duty
that God has bestowed upon us.
67
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:05,320
Let us all maintain our composure
to its utmost as we face this crisis.
68
00:07:06,822 --> 00:07:10,325
Furthermore, I have one more announcement,
69
00:07:10,826 --> 00:07:13,120
concerning Mr Kit Church.
70
00:07:19,084 --> 00:07:23,755
Yesterday, Mr Church voluntarily withdrew
from Saint Thomas's.
71
00:07:23,839 --> 00:07:25,007
Huh?
72
00:07:31,096 --> 00:07:32,222
All right.
73
00:07:32,306 --> 00:07:34,475
Forever promise!
74
00:07:37,561 --> 00:07:39,605
What? Why would he leave?
75
00:07:39,688 --> 00:07:42,274
I can't bear the thought
of not seeing him. It's not fair!
76
00:07:42,357 --> 00:07:45,861
This can't be! Christopher!
77
00:07:46,528 --> 00:07:48,113
But he can't have...
78
00:07:54,953 --> 00:07:57,623
So, given the current state of affairs,
79
00:07:57,706 --> 00:08:00,167
the academy will close today.
80
00:08:00,667 --> 00:08:02,628
Miss Ichijoin.
81
00:08:03,587 --> 00:08:04,588
Sir?
82
00:08:05,214 --> 00:08:07,716
Are you able to stay behind one moment?
83
00:08:07,799 --> 00:08:10,093
I have something to discuss with you.
84
00:08:10,636 --> 00:08:13,096
The rest of you are now dismissed.
85
00:08:39,206 --> 00:08:42,584
He was but 18
when he painted this picture.
86
00:08:43,085 --> 00:08:45,879
For his age, his talent astounded me.
87
00:08:46,630 --> 00:08:47,464
Yes.
88
00:08:48,632 --> 00:08:49,550
Hmm.
89
00:08:50,050 --> 00:08:52,928
I understand you have received a telegram.
90
00:08:53,011 --> 00:08:55,722
I have also received one
from the Japanese government
91
00:08:55,806 --> 00:08:57,599
to return you back home.
92
00:08:58,850 --> 00:08:59,810
Yes.
93
00:09:00,769 --> 00:09:05,649
The headmaster has arranged your tickets
for a ship departing in ten days' time.
94
00:09:06,275 --> 00:09:08,443
Please come and collect them later.
95
00:09:09,027 --> 00:09:11,071
Thank you, Professor Brant.
96
00:09:19,079 --> 00:09:21,498
Lapis lazuli blue.
97
00:09:24,751 --> 00:09:28,255
He liked to use it
when he first came to the academy.
98
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,803
It is said
that fate is our guide in this life,
99
00:09:34,886 --> 00:09:38,390
and whatever road we're on,
we are its mercy.
100
00:09:38,473 --> 00:09:41,018
Truer words were never spoken.
101
00:09:41,101 --> 00:09:42,603
Professor Brant.
102
00:09:42,686 --> 00:09:45,606
Yes, my dear Miss Ichijoin?
103
00:09:46,189 --> 00:09:49,860
You met with Kit yesterday,
didn't you, sir?
104
00:09:49,943 --> 00:09:52,779
Did he happen to mention
what his plans were now?
105
00:09:53,739 --> 00:09:55,824
I am not at liberty to say.
106
00:09:56,617 --> 00:09:59,703
The painting, the one in the gallery show,
107
00:09:59,786 --> 00:10:01,622
I can't stop thinking about it.
108
00:10:01,705 --> 00:10:04,499
Kit has never painted a portrait before.
109
00:10:05,208 --> 00:10:08,003
The same thought also occurred
to me, my dear.
110
00:10:08,086 --> 00:10:10,505
Something in his heart must have changed.
111
00:10:10,589 --> 00:10:12,716
Huh? Changed how?
112
00:10:12,799 --> 00:10:16,136
Well, some might call it maturity,
113
00:10:16,219 --> 00:10:18,513
but others may call it corruption.
114
00:10:18,597 --> 00:10:23,268
But I can't quite be sure which is true
in this particular instance.
115
00:10:24,102 --> 00:10:26,813
I think the answer
to that question must lie
116
00:10:26,897 --> 00:10:30,609
in the profile of the young woman
that he so meticulously painted.
117
00:10:32,027 --> 00:10:35,781
I really wish I had asked him
when I had the opportunity,
118
00:10:35,864 --> 00:10:39,618
but there's one thing
of which I am absolutely positive.
119
00:10:40,619 --> 00:10:42,746
What is that, professor?
120
00:10:42,829 --> 00:10:44,039
Lili.
121
00:10:48,377 --> 00:10:53,048
The profile of the young woman
in that painting, my girl, is yours.
122
00:10:54,132 --> 00:10:58,178
Something in his heart changed
when you entered his life.
123
00:11:06,144 --> 00:11:08,522
Have you ever been
inside the Foreign Office building
124
00:11:08,605 --> 00:11:10,816
in Whitehall, by any chance?
125
00:11:11,650 --> 00:11:12,818
No.
126
00:11:14,403 --> 00:11:17,114
It's a magnificent building.
127
00:11:17,197 --> 00:11:19,074
White marble and sublime.
128
00:11:19,908 --> 00:11:23,245
Inside, there's a sweeping staircase.
129
00:11:24,496 --> 00:11:27,666
The anthropomorphised figures
of all our allies
130
00:11:27,749 --> 00:11:29,668
are painted on the ceiling.
131
00:11:31,503 --> 00:11:34,089
And when one ascends the stairs,
132
00:11:34,172 --> 00:11:38,677
there's a mural depicting the peace
between our nation and others.
133
00:11:40,429 --> 00:11:42,139
It features a woman
134
00:11:42,889 --> 00:11:47,185
very much like you, dressed in a kimono.
135
00:11:50,188 --> 00:11:53,859
There's no harm in going along
to take a look for yourself.
136
00:11:55,986 --> 00:12:00,490
I don't really feel like it... right now.
137
00:12:07,205 --> 00:12:09,624
I won't say precisely who he is,
138
00:12:09,708 --> 00:12:12,252
but he is still here in London.
139
00:12:12,919 --> 00:12:15,172
He has found work as a diplomat.
140
00:12:17,007 --> 00:12:19,885
There also happens to be a church
close to the Foreign Office
141
00:12:19,968 --> 00:12:22,679
that has beautiful stained-glass windows.
142
00:12:22,763 --> 00:12:25,223
It's the place that he likes
the most in the world.
143
00:12:25,307 --> 00:12:26,725
Mm! Professor Brant!
144
00:12:26,808 --> 00:12:29,352
You really must follow your heart, Lili.
145
00:12:29,436 --> 00:12:31,480
So you don't regret it later.
146
00:12:32,647 --> 00:12:34,149
When all's said and done,
147
00:12:34,232 --> 00:12:38,737
time does not wait upon words,
but only on the courage to act.
148
00:12:40,030 --> 00:12:43,658
Is that Shakespeare, Professor Brant?
149
00:12:46,536 --> 00:12:48,622
No, that was one of my own.
150
00:12:51,374 --> 00:12:53,418
You're not going to find
what you're looking for
151
00:12:53,502 --> 00:12:56,129
if you waste your time
sitting here, my girl.
152
00:13:03,887 --> 00:13:07,390
Do not turn your back
on the path laid before you.
153
00:13:08,683 --> 00:13:10,101
Run.
154
00:13:10,894 --> 00:13:16,399
Your destiny awaits,
and it will not wait forever.
155
00:13:49,266 --> 00:13:52,269
He was right. It's impressive.
156
00:13:55,438 --> 00:13:58,233
Kit and you, I know you like him.
157
00:13:59,025 --> 00:14:00,652
I have to tell him.
158
00:14:02,237 --> 00:14:05,115
He'll never know unless you tell him.
159
00:14:06,157 --> 00:14:09,536
I have to! I have to tell him!
160
00:14:55,373 --> 00:14:57,167
Whoa!
161
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:09,554
Oh.
162
00:15:15,727 --> 00:15:17,020
Kit, I...
163
00:15:34,537 --> 00:15:37,040
I'm very angry with you.
164
00:15:39,668 --> 00:15:41,628
- Aren't you going to explain--
- I can't.
165
00:15:41,711 --> 00:15:44,965
Why didn't you tell me anything
about this when we were on the beach?
166
00:15:45,048 --> 00:15:47,008
I thought it was for the best
that you didn't know.
167
00:15:47,092 --> 00:15:48,635
How could you?
168
00:15:50,345 --> 00:15:51,346
Oh.
169
00:15:58,144 --> 00:16:00,021
You made a promise to me.
170
00:16:00,522 --> 00:16:02,691
We made a forever promise.
171
00:16:04,109 --> 00:16:06,194
Explain what's going on.
172
00:16:07,445 --> 00:16:09,572
Hey, are you listening?
173
00:16:11,074 --> 00:16:12,701
I've given up painting.
174
00:16:13,284 --> 00:16:14,202
What?
175
00:16:15,328 --> 00:16:17,622
You've... given up?
176
00:16:22,002 --> 00:16:24,671
No, you can't! There's no way
you could ever give up, Kit.
177
00:16:24,754 --> 00:16:26,297
It is your whole life!
178
00:16:26,381 --> 00:16:29,843
I told you,
there was a motif I wanted to paint.
179
00:16:30,343 --> 00:16:33,179
I've painted it,
and that is enough for me.
180
00:16:33,263 --> 00:16:34,556
And now I...
181
00:16:36,057 --> 00:16:38,560
need to concentrate on my duties.
182
00:16:38,643 --> 00:16:39,769
N--
183
00:16:40,395 --> 00:16:43,690
What are you talking about?
You can't just say that's it.
184
00:16:43,773 --> 00:16:46,192
I'm sure there's lots
you still have to paint.
185
00:16:46,276 --> 00:16:47,610
What about the lilies in the cave?
186
00:16:47,694 --> 00:16:50,697
This really isn't the time
to be chasing fairytales and dreams.
187
00:16:51,698 --> 00:16:52,949
I mean, paintings,
188
00:16:53,450 --> 00:16:55,201
they're just a complete waste of time.
189
00:16:56,161 --> 00:16:59,039
You can't mean that.
190
00:17:03,710 --> 00:17:06,463
But everyone's been worried
about you, Kit.
191
00:17:06,546 --> 00:17:08,506
Dorothy and Peter.
192
00:17:08,590 --> 00:17:10,425
And Shin and Joffrey.
193
00:17:10,508 --> 00:17:12,177
And... and me.
194
00:17:14,429 --> 00:17:15,680
And yet,
195
00:17:16,181 --> 00:17:19,684
you were going to disappear
without even saying goodbye?
196
00:17:20,185 --> 00:17:22,729
Have our friendships meant
so little to you
197
00:17:22,812 --> 00:17:24,898
that you can cast them aside?
198
00:17:26,524 --> 00:17:30,361
Why do you decide everything
on your own without saying anything?
199
00:17:31,237 --> 00:17:33,239
I heard about your father.
200
00:17:33,323 --> 00:17:34,365
And I'm so sorry,
201
00:17:34,449 --> 00:17:36,242
and I know you think
you don't have a choice.
202
00:17:36,326 --> 00:17:38,661
But... you can't just give up.
203
00:17:38,745 --> 00:17:40,872
He wanted you to keep painting!
204
00:17:40,955 --> 00:17:43,583
Stop acting tough and tell me the truth!
205
00:17:49,672 --> 00:17:51,382
You wouldn't understand.
206
00:17:53,843 --> 00:17:56,805
That's right! I don't understand!
207
00:17:56,888 --> 00:17:59,307
How could I ever understand aristocracy?
208
00:17:59,390 --> 00:18:01,643
My family only own
a small kimono boutique.
209
00:18:01,726 --> 00:18:04,229
You were born
with a silver spoon in your mouth!
210
00:18:04,312 --> 00:18:06,022
I came here to study painting.
211
00:18:06,106 --> 00:18:07,440
I begged my parents.
212
00:18:07,524 --> 00:18:09,818
Even got a scholarship
from the government.
213
00:18:09,901 --> 00:18:12,403
It took everything I had
to come to England!
214
00:18:12,487 --> 00:18:14,155
I did all that
215
00:18:14,739 --> 00:18:17,367
just because I wanted
to get better at painting.
216
00:18:18,076 --> 00:18:20,703
I had no faith in my work,
but still I wanted to come here
217
00:18:20,787 --> 00:18:24,290
because I thought that if I could find
a way to believe in my work,
218
00:18:24,374 --> 00:18:25,583
I might find a way...
219
00:18:25,667 --> 00:18:29,420
I might find a way to believe in myself
again for the rest of my life.
220
00:18:29,504 --> 00:18:31,673
That's why I came to England.
221
00:18:31,756 --> 00:18:35,093
And when I saw your paintings, I...
222
00:18:36,553 --> 00:18:40,181
rediscovered my joy
and what I loved about painting!
223
00:18:53,528 --> 00:18:57,574
You changed me. I thought for the better.
224
00:19:01,244 --> 00:19:04,455
But now, though,
you're just giving it all up.
225
00:19:05,331 --> 00:19:06,457
"A waste of time," is it?
226
00:19:11,504 --> 00:19:13,339
Lili, I want you to know--
227
00:19:13,423 --> 00:19:14,799
Don't you even dare, Kit!
228
00:19:14,883 --> 00:19:18,052
Don't you dare mess around
with my feelings, you hear?
229
00:19:18,136 --> 00:19:20,471
You can go
wherever the hell you like for all I care.
230
00:19:20,555 --> 00:19:22,390
I've had it with you!
231
00:19:39,824 --> 00:19:41,326
Kit...
232
00:19:46,706 --> 00:19:47,832
No.
233
00:19:49,751 --> 00:19:50,877
No.
234
00:20:00,136 --> 00:20:01,512
No, that's not...
235
00:20:02,889 --> 00:20:04,474
That's not what I...
236
00:20:06,100 --> 00:20:08,978
That's not what I wanted to say.
