The Case Files of Jeweler Richard (宝石商リチャード氏の謎鑑定)

"Did you cross the sea, too?"

The sea... A blue gemstone? An aquamarine?

No, didn't Richard say...

It means "the blue that came from beyond the sea."

That was...

It's sometimes called ultramarine.

Lapis lazuli!

Here it is! This is it.

Nakata-kun?

It's here.

Episode 10 The Lapis Lazuli of Guidance

It's inlaid with lapis lazuli on all sides...

The Standard of Ur.

You fool.

Richard!

I'll lecture you later.

Airport, please.

What are you thinking?

Sorry.

I didn't ask for an apology.

Well, I'm really, truly sorry!

Hey, calm down. Are you all right?

Oh, pardon me.

Seigi?

Seigi, what's wrong?

You're awake.

Where are we?

Your fever seems to have come down a little.

I don't remember what happened after we got in the taxi.

You began losing consciousness and would only say you were all right.

We stopped at a nearby hotel, and I was just thinking about calling a doctor.

Really, I'm fine now.

Yes, you've said that a hundred times.

I'm surprised you knew we were there.

The photos he uploaded to social media were following his old walking route.

Then shouldn't we hurry up and get out of here?

Stay put. You still need to rest.

Why are you here?

I paid you more than the salary you were owed. You should have nothing to complain about.

Richard, please... Don't disappear on me without saying a word.

When you left, I felt like a hole opened in my chest.

I couldn't do anything.

There are some things that talking can't fix.

You didn't have to tell me why.

Just that you were going to London.

Why would I need to tell you that?

Why?

Just like you've done for me, if you're in trouble, I...

It's much more useful for you not to be here.

Go home.

Trying to be too good will destroy you.

I could say the same to you.

Why did he leave that will, anyway?

Surely it didn't have to be so mysterious.

Perhaps there's no distinct reason behind the malice.

I suppose he was displeased with everything.

His son running away, the death of his family...

Perhaps it was spite that made the seventh Count Claremont

want to restore the purity of his family bloodline.

And you fought with Jeffrey and broke up with your boyfriend because of it?

What?

What?

I've never had a male lover. Okay?

Okay...

It seems you're confused, but she was a Turkish Englishwoman.

I see.

So what are you going to do now?

I have no obligation to honor the hatred of a man who died alone.

I will continue to run for as long as I must.

Run?

It's what I've done for four years.

I'm used to solitude.

Once you've recovered, you'll go to the airport

and take the earliest flight back to Tokyo.

Understood?

And then you'll vanish from my life forever?

You still haven't responded to my request.

Seigi...

I crossed the ocean to get here, too.

I'm surprised you thought I'd figure out that meant lapis lazuli.

If you'd forgotten, then that's all it would've meant to you.

Richard, I—

Go home.

A student's job is to study.

You're far too young to be sticking your nose into the affairs of adults.

You really are...

Are you there? Do you hear me?

Henry.

Huh?

What's that?

What's this doing here?

Are you there, Nakata-kun? It's Jeffrey.

It seems my phone ended up in your bag somehow.

But thanks to its GPS functionality, I was able to track it down.

Track?

My lawyer contacted me.

To cut to the chase, you weren't on the unacceptable list.

What? That means...

You're a viable marriage candidate.

Congratulations!

So, Nakata-kun, will you help me?

I warned you to stay out of my life!

They're only interested in inheriting the diamond.

You don't need to listen to them.

Seigi, we'll leave through the balcony.

Mr. Nakata... Please, save Richard.

Please...

The nonsense of a ghost. Don't listen to him.

But...

Seigi!

Henry?

Yes... Please save Richard.

Harry...

Nakata-kun, have you considered my offer?

Seigi is just an employee. Don't get him involved.

I'll help you.

That's great.

Seigi!

So what do I have to do, and how much are you paying me for it?

My lawyer confirmed that forming a civil partnership with an Asian person

wasn't prohibited by the list.

A civil partnership?

It's a legally recognized partnership between a same-sex couple,

equivalent to a heterosexual marriage.

Won't we need to register?

Don't worry. With both Richard and his potential spouse present,

the diamond will be released.

Then, once you're married, it'll be all yours.

What do you say to splitting the 300 million pounds evenly?

That makes about 20 billion yen...

It'll be taxed, won't it?

We'll take care of that.

You know, I think you and I are going to be great friends.
