01:33This morning, I received a telegram from the Ministry of Education.
01:38I didn't know what to make of it because it was so sudden.
01:42I wanted to double-check with the Academy what I'm supposed to do.
01:46Are we... are we at war?
01:52Have you heard anything?
01:57Shen, I have a favor to ask you.
01:59Huh?
02:01Please promise me that you will take her home.
02:04See that Lily's all right.
02:08But, Kit...
02:13I'm sorry, but that's your duty.
02:17You know how she feels about you, don't you?
02:19And we all know that you feel...
02:21I have to go and work abroad.
02:22I won't be back in England for some time.
02:25Huh?
02:27I must live up to my responsibilities.
02:33I won't run away anymore.
02:44I won't be back in England for some time.
02:45I don't know.
03:15I don't know.
03:20I don't know.
03:20I don't know.
03:25I don't know.
03:27I don't know.
03:31I don't know.
03:35Kit.
03:39Where are you?
03:58I don't know.
04:01I don't know.
04:09I don't know.
04:12Huh?
04:14What on earth is going on?
04:22Shen!
04:24Shen!
04:25Are you there?
04:26Shen!
04:27Shen!
04:36So you got a telegram too then?
04:39What shall we do?
04:41It's come direct from the Ministry of Education.
04:45We're studying here at our government's expense.
04:47We don't have a choice.
04:49But it...
04:50It's all so sudden.
04:52I don't understand.
04:53I really have no idea what to do.
04:58If all the rumors are true, and war breaks out into a European conflict, then England may also turn into
05:05a battlefield.
05:06What?
05:10How terrible.
05:15It's all right, Lily.
05:16It's probably a precaution.
05:18But still, we should start preparing to go.
05:21We can always come back, if things calm down.
05:25We will return.
05:26We will return.
05:27To London.
05:35Yes.
06:16As you will all know, due to the unfortunate events which took place in Sarajevo, tensions have been rising all
06:24across the world.
06:24All across Europe.
06:26Unfortunately, the skills you have been learning here are regarded as superfluous to the current situation.
06:33And so, I'm sure you must be spending each day mired in anxiety and agitation.
06:41But there is something that we can do.
06:45Can we not paint so that we may convey this moment for generations to come?
06:53This is the duty that God has bestowed upon us.
06:58Let us all maintain our composure to its utmost as we face this crisis.
07:06Furthermore, I have one more announcement concerning Mr. Kitt Church.
07:18Yesterday, Mr. Church voluntarily withdrew from St. Thomas'.
07:31All right.
07:32Forever promise!
07:37What?
07:38Why would he leave?
07:39I can't bear the thought of not seeing him.
07:41It's not fair.
07:42It can't be.
07:44Christopher!
07:44But he can't have.
07:46Christopher!
07:46Timothy!
07:46But he can't have.
07:48.
07:49Christopher.
07:54So given the current state of affairs, the academy will close today.
08:00Miss IshejiĆ¼n.
08:03Sir?
08:05Are you able to stay behind one moment?
08:07I have something to discuss with you.
08:10The rest of you are now dismissed.
08:38He was but 18 when he painted this picture.
08:42For his age, his talent astounded me.
08:46Yes.
08:48Hmm.
08:49I understand you have received a telegram.
08:52I have also received one from the Japanese government to return you back home.
08:58Yes.
09:00The headmaster has arranged your tickets for a ship departing in ten days' time.
09:06Please come and collect them later.
09:08Thank you, Professor Brand.
09:19Lapis lazuli blue.
09:24He liked to use it when he first came to the academy.
09:31It is said that fate is our guide in this life.
09:34And whatever road we're on, we are at its mercy.
09:38Truer words were never spoken.
09:41Professor Brand?
09:42Yes, my dear, Miss Ishi Joen.
09:46You met with Kit yesterday, didn't you, sir?
09:50Did he happen to mention what his plans were now?
09:53I am not at liberty to say.
09:56The painting.
09:57The one in the gallery show.
09:59I can't stop thinking about it.
10:01Kit has never painted a portrait before.
10:05The same thought also occurred to me, my dear.
10:08Something in his heart must have changed.
10:11Huh?
10:11Changed how?
10:12Well, some might call it maturity, but others may call it corruption.
10:18But I can't quite be sure which is true in this particular instance.
10:23I think the answer to that question must lie in the profile of the young woman that he so meticulously
10:29painted.
10:31I really wish I had asked him when I had the opportunity.
10:35But there's one thing of which I'm absolutely positive.
10:40What is that, Professor?
10:42Really?
10:48The profile of the young woman in that painting, my girl, is yours.
10:54Something in his heart changed when you entered his life.
10:58Huh?
11:05Have you ever been inside the foreign office building in Whitehall by any chance?
11:11No.
11:14It's a magnificent building.
11:17White marble and sublime.
11:20Inside, there's a sweeping staircase.
11:24The anthropomorphized figures of all our allies are painted on the ceiling.
11:31And when one ascends the stairs, there's a mural depicting the peace between our nation and others.
11:40It features a woman, very much like you, dressed in a kimono.
11:50There's no harm in going along to take a look for yourself.
11:55I don't really feel like it right now.
12:06I won't say precisely who he is, but he is still here in London.
12:12He has found work as a diplomat.
12:16There also happens to be a church close to the foreign office that has beautiful stained glass windows.
12:22It's the place that he likes the most in the world.
12:25Professor Brandt!
12:26You really must follow your heart, Lily, so you don't regret it later.
12:32When all's said and done, time does not wait upon words, but only on the courage to act.
12:39Is that Shakespeare, Professor Brandt?
12:46No, that was one of my own.
12:51You're not going to find what you're looking for if you waste your time sitting here, my girl.
13:03Do not turn your back on the path laid before you.
13:08Run.
13:10Your destiny awaits, and it will not wait forever.
13:48He was right.
13:50It's impressive.
13:55I know you like him.
13:58I have to tell him.
14:02You'll never know unless you tell him.
14:05I have to.
14:07I have to tell him.
14:38I have to tell him.
14:55Oh, my God.
15:15Kit, I...
15:34I'm very angry with you.
15:39I...
15:40Aren't you going to explain...
15:40I can't.
15:41Why didn't you tell me anything about this when we were on the beach?
15:45I thought it was for the best that you didn't know.
15:47How could you?
15:57You...
15:58You made a promise to me.
16:00We made a forever promise.
16:04Explain what's going on.
16:05Hey, are you listening?
16:10I've given up painting.
16:13What?
16:15You've given up?
16:22No, you can't.
16:23There's no way you could ever give up, Kit.
16:24It is your whole life.
16:26I told you, there was a motif I wanted to paint.
16:30I've painted it, and that is enough for me.
16:33And now I...
16:35Need to concentrate on my duties.
16:40What are you talking about?
16:42You can't just say that's it.
16:44I'm sure there's lots you still have to paint.
16:46What about the lilies in the cave?
16:47This really isn't the time to be chasing fairy tales and dreams.
16:51I mean, paintings are just a complete waste of time.
16:56You can't mean that.
17:03But everyone's been worried about you, Kit.
17:06Dorothy and Peter and Shin and Joffrey and me.
17:14And yet, you were going to disappear without even saying goodbye?
17:20Have our friendships meant so little to you that you could cast them aside?
17:26Why do you decide everything on your own without saying anything?
17:31I heard about your father.
17:33And I'm so sorry, and I know you think you don't have a choice.
17:36But you can't just give up.
17:38He wanted you to keep painting.
17:40Stop acting tough and tell me the truth!
17:49You wouldn't understand.
17:53That's right!
17:55I don't understand!
17:56How could I ever understand aristocracy?
17:59My family only owned a small kimono boutique.
18:02You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth!
18:04I came here to study painting.
18:06I begged my parents to even get a scholarship from the government.
18:09It took everything I had to come to England.
18:12I did all that.
18:14Just because I wanted to get better at painting.
18:18I had no faith in my work, but still I wanted to come here.
18:21Because I thought that if I could find a way to believe in my work,
18:24I might find a way, I might find a way to believe in myself again for the rest of my
18:28life.
18:29That's why I came to England.
18:32And when I saw your painting, I rediscovered my joy and what I loved about painting.
18:53You changed me, I thought, for the better.
19:01But now, though, you're just giving it all up.
19:05A waste of time, is it?
19:11Lily, I want you...
19:13Don't you dare to mess around with my feelings, you hear?
19:17You can go wherever the hell you like for all I care.
19:20I've had it with you!
19:21I don't know what...
19:39Kit!
19:45No!
19:59No, that's not, that's not what I, that's not what I wanted to say.
20:34It's not what I wanted to say.
20:47It's not what I wanted to say.
21:17It's not what I wanted to say.
22:01It's not what I wanted to say.
22:35It's not what I wanted to say.
