The Apothecary Diaries

2
00:01:30,057 --> 00:01:33,058
This story is a work of fiction. The names of all of the characters, organizations, and so on
are imaginary. It also bears no connection to any specific real-life events.

3
00:01:31,013 --> 00:01:33,078
Hey, did you hear about the fire the other day?

4
00:01:33,078 --> 00:01:36,057
Lihaku did a really good job with it.

5
00:01:36,057 --> 00:01:39,017
I never expected he'd be able to solve it.

6
00:01:39,044 --> 00:01:44,063
Actually, I heard a rumor that
a servant girl helped solve it.

7
00:01:44,096 --> 00:01:46,008
A servant girl?

8
00:01:46,008 --> 00:01:48,062
They say she's a personal
attendant of Master Jinshi.

9
00:01:48,062 --> 00:01:50,063
Wow, really?

10
00:01:50,063 --> 00:01:52,045
Didn't Master Jinshi buy out

11
00:01:52,045 --> 00:01:55,047
a courtesan from the Verdigris
House the other day?

12
00:01:55,047 --> 00:01:59,044
I hear she's a beautiful
intellectual with cold eyes.

13
00:01:59,044 --> 00:02:02,040
Yeah, the guys who saw her
wouldn't shut up about her.

14
00:02:03,041 --> 00:02:04,099
Master Lakan?!

15
00:02:07,094 --> 00:02:12,036
Mind telling me more about that?

16
00:02:13,032 --> 00:02:17,033
EpisodeRaw Fish

17
00:02:21,027 --> 00:02:23,089
Xiaomao, could you spare a moment?

18
00:02:23,089 --> 00:02:26,030
Master Gaoshun. What is it?

19
00:02:27,092 --> 00:02:30,038
There's something
I'd like you to take a look at.

20
00:02:31,064 --> 00:02:33,093
Records of an old incident.

21
00:02:34,042 --> 00:02:36,029
Ten years ago, at a merchant's home,

22
00:02:36,029 --> 00:02:39,093
there was a food poisoning incident
involving a raw pufferfish dish.

23
00:02:40,030 --> 00:02:42,033
Pufferfish poison...

24
00:02:42,033 --> 00:02:45,004
I love how it tingles and stings.

25
00:02:45,004 --> 00:02:46,090
Oh, I really want some now!

26
00:02:47,037 --> 00:02:51,010
I can take you to a place
that serves it sometime soon.

27
00:02:53,099 --> 00:02:55,057
So, what about this?

28
00:02:55,057 --> 00:03:01,033
A while ago, I was officially
involved with this case.

29
00:03:02,066 --> 00:03:08,076
A colleague asked me for advice, because
a similar incident occurred recently.

30
00:03:09,034 --> 00:03:10,094
A similar incident?

31
00:03:10,094 --> 00:03:16,039
A bureaucrat ate pufferfish, raw and seasoned
with vinegar, and fell into a coma.

32
00:03:16,039 --> 00:03:18,038
A coma?

33
00:03:19,048 --> 00:03:22,022
Master Gaoshun, my apologies.

34
00:03:22,022 --> 00:03:25,040
Is it appropriate for me to learn about this?

35
00:03:25,070 --> 00:03:30,057
That won't be an issue.
You are someone who knows her place.

36
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,028
In other words, stay silent about this.

37
00:03:33,088 --> 00:03:39,037
Besides, this story involves poison.
Are you sure you want me to stop here?

38
00:03:41,001 --> 00:03:43,045
Please, do continue.

39
00:03:47,013 --> 00:03:50,075
Pufferfish

40
00:03:48,009 --> 00:03:53,035
In this instance, they served
parboiled pufferfish skin and meat.

41
00:03:53,076 --> 00:03:57,016
He ate this and fell into a coma.

42
00:03:57,016 --> 00:04:02,047
The meat? Most of the poison is in the gut.

43
00:04:02,047 --> 00:04:04,052
Yes, the skin and the meat.

44
00:04:05,065 --> 00:04:08,054
The meat isn't supposed
to have much poison in it...

45
00:04:09,002 --> 00:04:14,053
Maybe it depends on the type of
pufferfish or the environment it's from.

46
00:04:15,014 --> 00:04:17,050
Nothing seems out of place, then?

47
00:04:17,097 --> 00:04:21,089
The thing is, in both cases,
this time and in the past,

48
00:04:21,089 --> 00:04:26,025
the cook claims they hadn't
used pufferfish in the dish.

49
00:04:26,074 --> 00:04:29,012
That sounds interesting.

50
00:04:29,012 --> 00:04:31,042
That's not the only thing in common.

51
00:04:31,083 --> 00:04:33,039
The two who fell ill...

52
00:04:33,081 --> 00:04:36,051
The bureaucrat from this case
and the merchant from the past one

53
00:04:36,051 --> 00:04:39,085
were both gourmets who loved eating rare foods.

54
00:04:40,071 --> 00:04:46,015
They both often ate raw fish and
pufferfish was one of their favorites.

55
00:04:47,016 --> 00:04:53,050
After the incident, all of the organs
and skin were discovered in the trash,

56
00:04:53,050 --> 00:04:56,025
so it was determined that
the guts were never consumed.

57
00:04:57,045 --> 00:05:03,071
In both cases, the cooks claimed innocence, said
the pufferfish was served the night before,

58
00:05:03,071 --> 00:05:08,074
and that on the day of the incident,
they'd used a different fish.

59
00:05:08,074 --> 00:05:12,009
However, there were
no witnesses to provide proof.

60
00:05:13,001 --> 00:05:15,009
The bureaucrat ate all the food served,

61
00:05:15,009 --> 00:05:18,018
then became intoxicated
and collapsed half an hour later.

62
00:05:18,053 --> 00:05:21,018
He was discovered convulsing.

63
00:05:22,017 --> 00:05:25,021
He did a more thorough
investigation than I'd expect.

64
00:05:25,021 --> 00:05:30,023
Plenty of other bureaucrats would put
in zero effort and just make up a suspect.

65
00:05:31,011 --> 00:05:32,083
What do you think?

66
00:05:32,083 --> 00:05:35,085
The symptoms do sound
like pufferfish poison,

67
00:05:35,085 --> 00:05:38,024
but I can't say for certain
without more details.

68
00:05:39,064 --> 00:05:43,095
Master Gaoshun, can you try
to find more information?

69
00:05:44,033 --> 00:05:47,002
Understood. I will look into it.

70
00:05:52,057 --> 00:05:57,060
At this time of year, it's not rare to
have food trash sit out for a few days.

71
00:05:58,032 --> 00:06:04,013
The testimony of using different fish
matches the evidence of the leftovers...

72
00:06:04,013 --> 00:06:05,072
What were you talking about?

73
00:06:07,006 --> 00:06:09,073
That look would wound anyone, even me.

74
00:06:13,053 --> 00:06:17,013
You seemed to be listening
very eagerly to Gaoshun's story.

75
00:06:17,013 --> 00:06:21,037
People naturally pay attention to
stories that are actually interesting.

76
00:06:21,037 --> 00:06:24,048
Wait, hold on. You often
cut me off mid-speech—

77
00:06:24,048 --> 00:06:28,050
Oh dear, it's getting late.
With that, I'll take my leave.

78
00:06:28,050 --> 00:06:30,085
Hey, I'm not done talking—

79
00:06:30,085 --> 00:06:32,083
Oh no, don't move.

80
00:06:33,059 --> 00:06:36,034
Come on, stay still.

81
00:06:42,026 --> 00:06:45,043
Xiaomao, about the discussion
we had yesterday...

82
00:06:46,093 --> 00:06:49,021
These are the cook's notes.

83
00:06:49,021 --> 00:06:54,096
According to the servant, it describes
everything served to their master.

84
00:06:54,096 --> 00:06:56,023
Thank you.

85
00:07:00,010 --> 00:07:04,059
"Parboil the fish. Add cut vegetables.
Season with vinegar."

86
00:07:04,059 --> 00:07:08,061
The recipe looks normal.

87
00:07:08,061 --> 00:07:12,001
There are several types of
vinegar mixtures outlined,

88
00:07:12,001 --> 00:07:14,046
but the list of ingredients lack detail.

89
00:07:14,046 --> 00:07:19,055
That must be because the types of fish
and vegetables available differ by season.

90
00:07:20,007 --> 00:07:24,057
This won't help us understand the key facts
around what was actually used to cook the dish.

91
00:07:25,072 --> 00:07:27,031
You can't understand?

92
00:07:28,014 --> 00:07:30,062
He wants to join in.

93
00:07:32,010 --> 00:07:34,052
So, what can't you understand?

94
00:07:37,041 --> 00:07:39,027
It will be mealtime soon.

95
00:07:39,078 --> 00:07:40,098
I know.

96
00:07:41,041 --> 00:07:43,082
That's quite childish.

97
00:07:44,081 --> 00:07:46,073
When did the incident occur?

98
00:07:46,073 --> 00:07:48,063
About a week ago.

99
00:07:49,021 --> 00:07:55,041
Meaning winter vegetables,
so probably radishes and carrots?

100
00:07:55,041 --> 00:07:58,096
Actually, I hear they used seaweed.

101
00:07:59,056 --> 00:08:00,096
Seaweed?

102
00:08:01,039 --> 00:08:02,063
Seaweed.

103
00:08:03,022 --> 00:08:07,098
If he likes rare foods, I guess
he could have tried strange seaweeds.

104
00:08:09,043 --> 00:08:14,089
If possible, could I take a look
at the kitchen involved?

105
00:08:29,009 --> 00:08:32,079
I'm here under Master Gaoshun's orders.

106
00:08:32,079 --> 00:08:36,006
I'm Basen. I've heard about you.

107
00:08:36,006 --> 00:08:37,049
I am Maomao.

108
00:08:37,049 --> 00:08:41,063
We're heading to the mansion now,
but remember, you're my follower.

109
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,098
Don't do anything without my permission.

110
00:08:44,098 --> 00:08:46,031
Understood.

111
00:08:50,042 --> 00:08:54,017
Once we arrive, the servant there
will show us to the kitchen.

112
00:08:54,059 --> 00:08:55,027
Understood.

113
00:08:55,078 --> 00:08:58,089
Master Gaoshun sure does work fast.

114
00:08:59,031 --> 00:09:00,052
That aside...

115
00:09:01,016 --> 00:09:03,018
I've never seen this officer before.

116
00:09:03,018 --> 00:09:05,069
He looks familiar, though.

117
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,095
He doesn't seem to have
a good impression of me.

118
00:09:09,095 --> 00:09:11,026
Oh, well.

119
00:09:16,092 --> 00:09:18,062
This is the kitchen.

120
00:09:22,033 --> 00:09:25,050
It hasn't been used since the poison incident.

121
00:09:29,086 --> 00:09:31,001
Hmm? Hey!

122
00:09:34,010 --> 00:09:35,085
Who let you in here?! Get out!

123
00:09:35,085 --> 00:09:39,010
What are you doing?!
Did you bring these people here?!

124
00:09:40,035 --> 00:09:44,073
I've gotten permission from the mistress,
and this is official business.

125
00:09:45,037 --> 00:09:47,007
Is that true?

126
00:09:47,007 --> 00:09:51,024
May we continue? Or would that
inconvenience you in some way?

127
00:09:52,016 --> 00:09:53,039
Whatever.

128
00:09:56,033 --> 00:09:57,020
Who is that?

129
00:09:57,069 --> 00:10:00,029
That is the master's younger brother.

130
00:10:00,057 --> 00:10:05,030
After the master fell into the coma,
and the mistress took ill from fatigue,

131
00:10:05,055 --> 00:10:08,089
the younger brother manages the mansion.

132
00:10:09,048 --> 00:10:11,064
I see.

133
00:10:12,042 --> 00:10:13,056
Master Basen.

134
00:10:13,056 --> 00:10:14,022
Yeah.

135
00:10:16,068 --> 00:10:20,019
The cook washed all the cooking utensils.

136
00:10:21,085 --> 00:10:23,043
Other than that...

137
00:10:34,012 --> 00:10:35,025
What is this?

138
00:10:35,025 --> 00:10:37,066
Ah, the master loved that.

139
00:10:38,013 --> 00:10:40,083
It's his favorite. He ate it often.

140
00:10:40,083 --> 00:10:43,002
I don't think it's poisonous...

141
00:10:44,033 --> 00:10:46,051
He doesn't seem to be lying.

142
00:10:46,051 --> 00:10:48,030
So that's that.

143
00:10:48,081 --> 00:10:50,067
If you're done here, please leave.

144
00:10:51,057 --> 00:10:52,081
Indeed.

145
00:10:56,097 --> 00:10:59,014
Sorry to bother you.

146
00:11:02,065 --> 00:11:04,093
Why did you back down so easily?

147
00:11:04,093 --> 00:11:07,019
I don't consider that backing down.

148
00:11:10,065 --> 00:11:11,095
You brought it with you?

149
00:11:12,068 --> 00:11:15,001
This is strange.

150
00:11:15,001 --> 00:11:18,065
This seaweed isn't in season quite yet.

151
00:11:18,065 --> 00:11:23,098
But even if salted and preserved from
last year, it wouldn't last this long.

152
00:11:24,042 --> 00:11:25,067
I see.

153
00:11:26,009 --> 00:11:29,058
I don't think it was gathered in our region.

154
00:11:30,014 --> 00:11:34,030
Perhaps it was imported from the south.

155
00:11:35,017 --> 00:11:38,055
It would be good if we could
find out where it came from.

156
00:11:42,081 --> 00:11:44,078
I think he gets what I mean.

157
00:11:44,078 --> 00:11:48,062
In that case, I'll do what I have to do.

158
00:11:56,074 --> 00:11:58,028
What's this?

159
00:11:58,071 --> 00:12:01,018
The seaweed I got from the mansion.

160
00:12:01,018 --> 00:12:04,092
I've split it into two
and put it in some water.

161
00:12:05,091 --> 00:12:08,059
Why is Master Jinshi here?

162
00:12:08,059 --> 00:12:13,021
The seaweed was indeed
imported from the south.

163
00:12:13,061 --> 00:12:20,006
According to the servant, the master
never ate that seaweed in the winter.

164
00:12:20,065 --> 00:12:25,001
The cook also said this is the same
as the seaweed they normally use,

165
00:12:25,001 --> 00:12:26,056
and can't be poisonous.

166
00:12:26,081 --> 00:12:31,019
You can't assume it's not poisonous
just because it's the same seaweed.

167
00:12:31,065 --> 00:12:37,032
Maybe this seaweed
isn't eaten often in the south.

168
00:12:38,004 --> 00:12:41,076
Perhaps a merchant learned that
it's a favorite of this bureaucrat,

169
00:12:41,076 --> 00:12:43,082
and, looking to profit from that,

170
00:12:43,082 --> 00:12:48,058
went out of his way to get some locals
to make a salted version of it?

171
00:12:48,096 --> 00:12:51,021
Why is that a problem?

172
00:12:51,061 --> 00:12:55,097
Sometimes, poisons can become not poisonous.

173
00:12:56,053 --> 00:13:00,027
For example, eels are originally poisonous,

174
00:13:00,027 --> 00:13:04,022
but by bleeding them out or cooking
them, they become edible.

175
00:13:04,022 --> 00:13:09,094
In the case of this seaweed, I think
it had to be soaked in limewater first.

176
00:13:09,094 --> 00:13:16,006
What I have here is one batch soaked in
limewater, and one batch without that.

177
00:13:18,015 --> 00:13:19,033
What are you doing?!

178
00:13:19,033 --> 00:13:20,093
It's fine.

179
00:13:20,093 --> 00:13:21,053
Probably.

180
00:13:21,053 --> 00:13:23,036
What do you mean, "probably"?!

181
00:13:23,036 --> 00:13:27,029
Don't worry. I have
an emetic agent right here—

182
00:13:27,061 --> 00:13:29,049
Don't say that so proudly!

183
00:13:29,049 --> 00:13:30,033
Gaoshun!

184
00:13:30,033 --> 00:13:31,021
Yes.

185
00:13:32,046 --> 00:13:33,088
Vomit, now!

186
00:13:38,028 --> 00:13:43,018
I wanted to test if the detoxification
could be done overnight...

187
00:13:43,086 --> 00:13:46,010
Um, back on topic.

188
00:13:46,042 --> 00:13:54,061
So, the issue is: who suggested that
the trader bring the salted seaweed?

189
00:13:54,095 --> 00:13:57,052
If the one who ate it imported it himself,

190
00:13:57,052 --> 00:13:59,007
it'd be his own fault, in a sense.

191
00:14:00,013 --> 00:14:02,089
But, if he didn't...

192
00:14:04,034 --> 00:14:07,029
Bringing it in from a region
that doesn't eat it

193
00:14:07,029 --> 00:14:09,079
is obviously taking a pretty big risk.

194
00:14:11,064 --> 00:14:12,063
I understand.

195
00:14:13,045 --> 00:14:18,019
The people here are smart.
I don't have to elaborate further.

196
00:14:19,021 --> 00:14:22,014
I guess that settles it for now.

197
00:14:26,072 --> 00:14:27,067
Hey!

198
00:14:30,010 --> 00:14:33,069
The culprit was the official's younger brother.

199
00:14:34,039 --> 00:14:36,072
When we found where he bought the seaweed,

200
00:14:36,072 --> 00:14:38,099
he confessed to being
the one who'd purchased it.

201
00:14:41,081 --> 00:14:45,047
His motive was that, being
the younger son, he wasn't treated well.

202
00:14:45,047 --> 00:14:48,072
He wanted to remove his older
brother from the picture.

203
00:14:48,072 --> 00:14:50,000
A commonplace story.

204
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:55,055
But how could a person who'd plot to murder
someone for such a thoughtless reason

205
00:14:55,055 --> 00:14:58,034
have learned about the seaweed poison?

206
00:14:59,062 --> 00:15:03,080
He happened to hear about it from a person
sitting next to him at a tavern, apparently.

207
00:15:04,042 --> 00:15:06,097
"Happened to," huh? Sure...

208
00:15:11,057 --> 00:15:16,020
In the end, I didn't get to try
the poisonous seaweed...

209
00:15:16,069 --> 00:15:19,057
By the way, what should I use it for?

210
00:15:19,057 --> 00:15:23,095
That mushroom the color of dry leaves
growing from the dead insect!

211
00:15:23,095 --> 00:15:27,066
Should I make medicinal booze?! A pill?!

212
00:15:31,096 --> 00:15:37,042
Welcome home!

213
00:15:45,037 --> 00:15:46,097
What's going on?!

214
00:15:47,053 --> 00:15:49,008
It's not my fault.

215
00:15:53,021 --> 00:15:55,047
You seem tired.

216
00:15:55,047 --> 00:15:57,090
I have so much work piled up,

217
00:15:57,090 --> 00:16:00,019
but there's someone
I just don't get along with.

218
00:16:00,019 --> 00:16:01,099
We just can't see eye-to-eye.

219
00:16:02,037 --> 00:16:05,064
I never would have thought you'd
ever have trouble with people.

220
00:16:07,021 --> 00:16:10,008
This man's a razor-sharp
high official in the military.

221
00:16:11,020 --> 00:16:15,055
He comes from a good family, but even
though he's past forty, he hasn't married.

222
00:16:15,055 --> 00:16:19,041
He adopted his nephew as his son
and has him handle his household.

223
00:16:19,041 --> 00:16:20,071
A famous weirdo.

224
00:16:21,045 --> 00:16:26,055
A forty-plus, high-ranking
military officer... and weirdo?

225
00:16:26,088 --> 00:16:31,090
His only interests are go, shogi, and rumors.

226
00:16:32,068 --> 00:16:35,025
He files complaints, barges in,

227
00:16:35,025 --> 00:16:38,030
and keeps extending deadlines
on decisions that need to be made.

228
00:16:39,013 --> 00:16:41,094
I think he has it out for me for some reason.

229
00:16:42,027 --> 00:16:45,058
He's been camping in my office
for several days in a row.

230
00:16:47,098 --> 00:16:49,095
Okay, let's forget about this!

231
00:16:49,095 --> 00:16:52,029
No good can come from dwelling on this.

232
00:16:55,019 --> 00:16:58,038
However, no matter how hard I try to forget,

233
00:16:58,038 --> 00:17:01,013
as usual, my bad hunches are correct.

234
00:17:01,013 --> 00:17:04,001
This matter was settled already.

235
00:17:04,033 --> 00:17:06,059
Flower viewing in the winter is difficult.

236
00:17:06,059 --> 00:17:09,022
I thought this would be better instead.

237
00:17:10,060 --> 00:17:14,059
This man is Lakan. He is a strategist.

238
00:17:14,059 --> 00:17:16,073
It seems like the reason
he's confronting me

239
00:17:17,042 --> 00:17:21,035
is because I made Maomao, who is connected
to the Verdigris House, my servant.

240
00:17:22,037 --> 00:17:27,003
Come to think of it, I have an old
acquaintance in the Verdigris House.

241
00:17:27,056 --> 00:17:32,028
That's unexpected. I thought
he had no interest in romance.

242
00:17:33,017 --> 00:17:34,054
What kind of courtesan is she?

243
00:17:37,043 --> 00:17:38,083
Shoot, I asked without thinking.

244
00:17:39,041 --> 00:17:41,074
She was a good courtesan.

245
00:17:41,074 --> 00:17:47,050
She was very good at go and shogi.
I could beat her in shogi, but never in go.

246
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:52,053
Defeating our master strategist?
She must have been good.

247
00:17:52,053 --> 00:17:55,025
I considered buying her out,

248
00:17:55,025 --> 00:17:59,060
since I felt I would never meet
another woman as interesting as her.

249
00:18:00,013 --> 00:18:03,011
But sometimes, things just don't work out.

250
00:18:04,029 --> 00:18:09,061
Two rich men with curious tastes
endlessly tried to outbid each other.

251
00:18:10,018 --> 00:18:11,061
Is that so?

252
00:18:12,025 --> 00:18:14,043
It's said, at times,
buying out a courtesan

253
00:18:14,043 --> 00:18:17,023
could cost about as much as a small palace.

254
00:18:17,062 --> 00:18:20,017
She was a strange courtesan.

255
00:18:20,069 --> 00:18:24,063
Where is he trying to go with this story?

256
00:18:24,063 --> 00:18:27,061
She would sell her skills, but never herself.

257
00:18:27,061 --> 00:18:30,097
In fact, she didn't treat
guests as customers at all.

258
00:18:31,062 --> 00:18:36,014
Even when pouring tea,
she had an arrogant look,

259
00:18:36,014 --> 00:18:38,052
like she was being charitable
to a lowly peasant.

260
00:18:39,035 --> 00:18:43,040
But there were many with curious tastes
who were head over heels for her.

261
00:18:44,025 --> 00:18:47,032
Myself among them, naturally.

262
00:18:47,081 --> 00:18:52,038
That chill down my spine
was truly irresistible.

263
00:18:55,064 --> 00:19:00,004
Oh, how I wanted to try
to force myself on her one day.

264
00:19:03,033 --> 00:19:06,029
In the end, I couldn't give up on her,

265
00:19:06,029 --> 00:19:09,046
so I had no choice but
to use a bit of a dirty trick.

266
00:19:10,028 --> 00:19:11,047
Meaning?

267
00:19:11,047 --> 00:19:16,083
If something's too expensive,
you simply lower its value.

268
00:19:16,083 --> 00:19:19,034
I made her less exquisite.

269
00:19:21,041 --> 00:19:24,019
Do you know how I did that?

270
00:19:25,011 --> 00:19:27,063
Why play hard-to-get all of a sudden?

271
00:19:33,078 --> 00:19:37,083
Well, before I get into that,
I have a favor to ask.

272
00:19:38,042 --> 00:19:40,069
What is it?

273
00:19:40,069 --> 00:19:45,079
I heard that the servant girl you hired
recently is quite intriguing.

274
00:19:46,028 --> 00:19:49,043
They say she has a strange
knack for solving puzzles.

275
00:19:52,057 --> 00:19:58,021
I was acquainted with a metalworker
who was the palace purveyor.

276
00:19:58,021 --> 00:20:01,025
He suddenly passed away a few days ago,

277
00:20:01,025 --> 00:20:03,094
and failed to name a proper successor.

278
00:20:04,076 --> 00:20:08,057
He had three children who
were also his apprentices.

279
00:20:08,057 --> 00:20:14,009
Unfortunately, he died before passing on
his secret techniques to his children.

280
00:20:14,009 --> 00:20:19,052
He left a puzzling will, which might be a hint.

281
00:20:19,052 --> 00:20:22,020
That's been bothering me for a while.

282
00:20:23,067 --> 00:20:25,075
Where are you going with this?

283
00:20:25,075 --> 00:20:29,013
Nowhere special, really.

284
00:20:29,070 --> 00:20:34,034
I just wonder if there's some way
to learn that secret technique.

285
00:20:35,041 --> 00:20:37,009
Perhaps, for example,

286
00:20:37,046 --> 00:20:43,006
by having your clever servant girl take a look.

287
00:20:47,085 --> 00:20:52,001
Well... I suppose I could hear the whole story.

288
00:20:59,075 --> 00:21:01,049
That's a lot of rain.

289
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:50,002
Next Time

290
00:22:46,047 --> 00:22:48,043
Next time: "Lead."

291
00:22:46,060 --> 00:22:50,002
EpisodeLead
