The potion.

The potion is reserved for the most evolved priest.

You will prepare it.

I cannot.

Only one priest can prepare the potion.

Who?

Kajimori.

He can only prepare the potion for a priest.

Who is destined for misogyny?

Those about to die.

Where is this priest?

You will talk, Kimihiro.

Good message.

And all the praying in the world will do you no good.

No! No, you mustn't!

I am not prepared to die!

I am prepared for the purifying one!

The Basanti!

No! No, my soul!

Rebecca. What?

Can't you go and make yourself a pot of tea or something?

Or read a book.

Or go bullfighting. But for God's sake, Rebecca, please, can you just give me

some peace?

Well, I don't know what to do with holidays.

I don't particularly like being idle.

Never really understood the point of this game.

Miss Rebecca, a telegram has arrived.

Oh, good.

From Whitehall?

No, from Japan.

No matter what you do.

Do you remember her, Phileas? Vaguely.

Oh, God.

She's not coming here, is she?

No. Paris.

She's traveling with her grandfather, Kaji Mori. Well, I'm sure they'll have a

wonderful time.

She wants me to join them.

Splendid.

Haven't seen her since she left Auckland.

I'm sure you'll get on famously.

Telegram was sent a little while ago.

They're arriving tomorrow?

Thank you.

All prepared?

Yes, Grandfather.

Forgive me. I was distracted by the beauty of the sunset.

I thank Kami for the knowledge they have bestowed upon me and humbly ask

that they bless this preparation.

Last night I dreamt of the purifying one.

Oh, I do not fear.

Nor should you.

We must both be prepared.

You know that my time may come at any moment.

Yes, Grandfather.

As the next initiate to the Shindo family, you bear our great

You will become the preparer.

And you are ready.

And I am proud.

I am happy for the pleasure this brings you.

Pleasure?

And you, Amaterasu, it is time you have tasted the pleasure of

a husband.

Grandfather!

And the gorilla said, no, a banana.

Oh, come on, Phileas.

Walk by the Seine will do you good.

And we get to see jewels?

Walking Hyde Park is what I'd hoped for, thank you very much.

I think you might rather enjoy Amaterasu's company.

I thoroughly enjoyed being her chaperone.

Well, that's commendable.

I imagine she's turned into quite a young lady.

She ever managed to get her head out of her books?

Of course, we're back.

Rebecca?

Good morning.

If you don't mind, I didn't have the heart to wake you.

This is, um, sort of exquisite.

Do you really think so?

It's a new... A new genre.

It's very good to see you again.

What brings you to Paris?

Ah, well, someone I think you'll rather like.

Another bloody intellectual.

It's a dear friend of mine called Amaterasu.

Japanese? Yes, she's visiting Paris with her grandfather, and they're both

charming.

Would you join us for lunch on the Aurora?

Passion and myth of... Western civilization.

The world is a very tall tree. Do not hesitate to purge on all

its limbs.

Grandfather, I'm so excited to be in Paris.

Ah, yes?

Good morning, Stuart, sir.

Ah, yes.

We dock shortly, sir. If you could present your papers at ship's customs

control, please.

Papers?

I am sorry, sir. New French regulations.

A representative from each party entering the country is required to

before an agent.

You rest, grandfather.

I'll go.

Amaterasu.

Rebecca.

My treasured friend.

It has been too long.

Mother of Destiny has not been kind to her daughters.

But the goddess of beauty has been kind to you. Oh, please.

How is Kajimori?

Grandfather is resting in the cabin.

He will be so pleased to see you.

Why are you sitting here?

I'm waiting for customs control.

Customs control is on shore.

But the steward said there were new regulations.

You are the only one here.

Where is your cabin?

How good.

Wavy.

Grandfather.

He has gone.

Gone? The Purifying One has come for him.

Portion will be useless to you.

It is truth beyond your comprehension.

The potion is power.

And since you are the only priest to possess the knowledge to make it. Such a

situation as this.

The sacrifice of only one man is not too much.

Do what you will with me.

I am prepared.

Because of such a situation as this, I have no doubt you have passed the

knowledge on to someone else.

Her 80 -year -old grandfather just vanished into thin air. And she's not in

least bit concerned.

I mean... Oh, and why?

What may I ask?

Does he need to be purified?

No.

Ah, thanks for that excellent explanation.

Clear as mud. Not really.

Some Japanese believe that the purifying one pays them a visit when they're

about to die.

They have to undergo some sort of test before they can pass through to the next

world. Maths?

Something like that.

Now, Kajimori is a priest, and he's not just an ordinary priest.

All settled in?

I am most grateful for the hospitality.

You're welcome.

Well, now, Amaterasu, um... Well, do you think your grandfather will be

joining us after his... his, uh... his appointment?

I do not know for certain.

But, of course, I am hopeful that he won't.

That he won't?

Oh.

Oh. Hello, Vern.

Hello. Amaterasu, might I introduce Mr.

Jules Verne?

Hello. It's a pleasure.

Welcome to Paris. Thank you.

I'm very honored to be in your beautiful city.

Monsieur, I have something nice and hot for you inside.

Oh, thank you.

Very kind of you.

Well, I can't imagine what has happened to Passepartout. He was very keen to

show you his French culinary talent.

I prefer to see Passe than to taste it.

Do you like the museum?

Very much.

There's an exhibit on the steam train at a museum this afternoon.

But I don't suppose that's of much interest to anyone.

Oh, but it is to me, Mr. Verne.

I'm fascinated by the advent of modern transportation, especially steam

engines. That's the theme of the exhibit.

The evolution of steam as a power source.

Fascinating. We could go, if you like.

Yes?

If Rebecca wouldn't mind.

No. Well, no, of course not. There would be love.

I do feel that Phyllis and I should probably wait for Passepartout.

Yeah.

Amaterasu and I could get something to eat at the bistro.

If that's all right with you.

Oh, yeah.

Jules. Sorry, your collar a minute.

Thank you.

Take care of her, please.

Now, since when has young Vern been able to afford to eat?

Monsieur, take this to your master.

One truffle?

Two truffles, please.

I love chocolate truffles.

Thank you, Mr. Verne.

Here you go. Please, I'm with Ratsu.

Call me Jules.

What you will.

Jewels. It is customary in Japan for friends to offer each other nicknames.

Aimee.

May I call you Aimee? It's a term of endearment.

I'm Aimee.

You don't really believe that the angel of... death has

called upon this old man.

Or that we have no obligation to look at his

disappearance. Not the angel of death.

It's the purifying one.

Test pre -death.

Rebecca, you don't actually believe any of this, do you?

Oh, this is madness.

Master!

Speaking of madness...

What's the matter? What's the matter? Get a grip on yourself.

What's the matter?

Breathe in.

Breathe in. Breathe in. Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe in.

Now, where did you get this?

A boulanger.

Sorry? On the Rue Saint -Denis.

A very violent man.

Boulanger.

How did a boulanger know of our connection to Amaterasu?

Bring 5 ,000 grapes to the church in the chandeliers at midnight and your

grandfather will keep the other nine.

I'm sorry.

I hope this is all right.

Oh, but June!

The life of a French peace driver is a theme to me.

This day I will treasure forever.

What is it?

I'm thinking of grandfather.

Oh, please.

Let's have him join us.

It's not likely you will ever meet the father of my father.

Why is that?

Grandfather was preparing to go to the other side.

Before we left, we started Misogi.

Misogi? The elevation to supreme consciousness, where purification of the

is achieved.

How does one reach that?

Through years of meditation.

And then, when one is absolutely ready.

The potion.

The potion?

With this potion, one can achieve inner truth and then become one

with the ultimate truth.

You mean God?

A truth that is forbidden to mortals.

I cannot expect you to share such beliefs.

I believe.

That you speak the truth, Amaterasu.

Ultimately, it is one truth for us all.

When Verne returns with Amaterasu, not a word about this, all right? Do you

understand?

Yes, understand.

Not a word. Not a word.

Very important.

On no account are you to tell them where we've gone.

No, Mr. Rebecca.

Just tell them that we've gone to a beach draw, don't we?

Yes, Master.

That's a good idea.

Oh, Master, Mr. Rebecca, please, take care and watch out for all your fingers.

Don't worry about us, my dear.

We thoroughly intend to return with all our limbs.

Whoa,

whoa, whoa! Hold it!

Hold it!

Oh, hi!

You must be Hamaretto.

I'm sorry.

I can't pronounce your name. My Japanese is rusted, and I lost my basket.

And we've been to the beef, Joe.

Huh? You have?

I mean... You have!

That's good.

Passport, too.

Yeah? Is everything all right?

What could be wrong?

I mean, you're safe here, and Miss Rebecca and my sir are...

Safe in another place.

If it's all right, I should like to rest.

I would love to rest, too.

Amaterasu, if you don't mind, I'll sleep down here. And in the morning, we can

have coffee.

I'd be honored, Jules.

Good night.

Isn't she wonderful?

I mean, isn't she beautiful?

Have you seen her?

Yes, I've seen her just now.

Who

could have

done this to my Marie?

Why?

Good question.

Why?

I think we should take recent events very seriously indeed.

I am prone to agree.

Come on.

Good, very good, very good.

I'm sorry, Master Jules.

What do you want from her?

A certain potion?

My employer is very inquisitive about the recipe.

Unfortunately, we only need the girl. No!

How's that?

Terrible trouble.

Terrible trouble.

Betrayed.

Where is Kajimor?

I get the feeling that Mataratsu is

not the only one in trouble.

Sorry, Master Jules.

Something hot from Passepartout.

What is this potion?

What does it do?

To someone who is not prepared, I cannot say.

Desperate.

What's going on?

We must be here.

Your grandfather has been kidnapped.

The master and Miss Rebecca are not going to be through.

What?

There's more.

They want to find your grandfather.

We must go now.

More will come.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

More who?

Do you have any idea just what in the hell is going on?

Um... Kajimori.

Where is he?

Big... Black... Bird.

Big black man or big black... That mean anything to you?

No.

Yes, you have.

Passport two.

Let's get you somewhere safe.

Where is that potion?

Yes, it sounds so strong.

If they put their hand on it, it'll be the end.

No grandfather, no anything.

It's still there.

Quick, you two, hide. No, no, no. Passport two. I'll be a decoy.

Stay back! You alright?

Big

black

bird.

Oh no!

Bring him to me.

What

is

it?

It looks like the important word. Yeah.

Now we shall discover the truth.

Jules Verne, my lucky day.

Oh, God, father.

What has he done to you?

Do not worry about me.

We must both be strong amateurs.

Very touching, old man.

But unless she can make the potion without her fingers, we better hope she

cooperates. No!

So you know what this is, huh?

How much do you need?

Which ones do you need?

The water?

The potion?

You will make the potion.

Never.

Oh, yes, you will.

No! Stop!

Let her come to me.

I will persuade her.

You tricks, old man.

Get up.

A potion.

Grandfather, no, please.

I'm a terrat.

Do you believe?

Do you believe?

Let me see your grandfather.

My darling.

Get away!

Enough of this.

One moment longer.

Hurry up.

I missed you, Grant.

Always have faith, Amaterasu.

No!

Amaterasu!

Wait for me, old man.

Fifteen second fuses, yes? No idea.

Well, you set the fuses.

No, I didn't. That was your job.

These are not my... It

was

definitely your job to set the fuses. No, it wasn't. It was yours. You packed

the explosives.

How long this take?

I'm so calm, old man.

This potion is useless!

Monster! Monster, you tricked me!

Show me the light!

Now you shall see the light.

I think we should probably leave.

Rather quickly.

Go, go.

Pastor, are you quite all right?

No, Master, I'm definitely not all right.

I am in pain and I have a very confused mind. Please just stop making that

infernal noise.

Rebecca.

Mr. Jules Verne is the most honorable man I've ever met.

You must not meet many men.

Ah, that hurt.

And purple is not your color.

Also, sir, will you please come to go to the kitchen?

Why, master, you want to leave me behind again?

All right.

You always do. You always do that.

You and I need a little talk. I always have to clean the mess that you make.

Please.

Amaterasu.

Such beauty.

Amaterasu, I... If only.

I know.

You have a duty to your destiny as I have to mine.

I know in my heart that Kami will allow our paths to cross again.

Will Kami be so generous?

Do you trust me?

With all my heart.

Then trust me now.
