Sorry to keep you waiting, Inspector. The verdict is in.

You're a lucky one. Ilha Azul, full of wonder and nature.

It's a swell place.

Don't lose heart! This is a test, Atsuko!

You are the Queen of the Jungle!

"#13 Goldfish of the Marsh"

Hey, Atsuko, are you still here?

I thought you had cleanup duty around the ruins this morning.

Come on, now. Carelessness can prove deadly.

All it does is rain.

Hey, Atsuko...

Everyone in the house is all excited, waitin' for their presents.

How can you back out?

As the seniors, this is our fate.

You're not getting away, you little thief!

Come on, what's your name?!

You've at least got a name, right?! Eh?!

If you won't tell me, then I toss you to the cops!

You're on your way to jail!

Yeah, police? I've got a two-bit sneak thief--

I'm takin' these.

Why, you little brat!

Hold it right there!

- -Come and get them, if you can! Right here!

I've got to get away from her, or I'll end up no good.

Hello!

We caught a thief!

They're here.

Thanks for coming. We've got a thief.

Could you toss her in the river or something, so she never comes back?

Remove your foot.

Quite a large little caterpillar we've got here!

Stop it.

I'm gonna send the whole lot of ya to hell!

Callin' the pigs on me! That was dirty!

Bang!

Look at me.

Look at me.

Thank you, ma'am.

Here.

What's your name?

Your name.

Vanessa Lee.

Where do you live?

Hey! What is this?! I'm not even hungry!

My... Marmelada is gone...

It's all right, young man.

It's time for "Operation: Catch Marmelada."

Nothing is impossible for my Queen of the Jungle.

What?

This is an exchange.

I've given you that, Auntie,

so that's why you bought that food for me yesterday.

It's not like I don't have any money. I just don't want to use it.

Don't take me for a beggar.

What are you doing here, anyway?

"Operation: Catch Marmelada."

What's that?

A runaway... pet monkey.

That's silly.

There it is!

Geez!

Oh, yeah!

What? It'll take more than that to kill it.

I didn't do anything wrong!

- -Hey! - -Hi there.

We need to have a welcoming party for you.

Have to hurry and get you accustomed to this place.

Captain...

Just forget about that Marmelada business.

What kind of girl is Vanessa Lee?

Vanessa, huh?

Have you seen the stone reliefs at the Temanaga ruins?

No.

There are these stone reliefs at the entrance, see?

The man, sitting in a chair, is King Temanaga.

Then there are these women, holding out a pot to Temanaga,

and it glows! It's called the Golden Pot.

It's supposed to be buried in those ruins somewhere.

It's said that if you go up the water channel,

you'll reach Temanaga's chamber, and that's where it is,

but no one has ever been inside.

It's been consecrated as holy ground from times of old, you see.

But then, once in a while,

there will be outsiders that violate that tradition,

and her father was one of those characters.

She was still a young girl of fifteen when he brought her along.

The rebellious sort, always getting in fights with everyone.

She was out of control back then,

but now, she lives alone, and works on the coconut plantation.

What happened to her father?

Her father died in the river, last year.

Whoa, Auntie! Too cool, by half.

Sorry about the monkey thing. But I didn't do it on purpose.

I'm not obligated to apologize.

Wait, Auntie!

Over here!

This is my secret spot.

Actually, it's even more scenic.

When the skies are clear.

Watch, Auntie!

I heard about you, Auntie. You're super-famous. And a crook, at that.

You were playing both the police and Monstro, right?

No one could touch you, huh?

Got it. Yeah, got a bunch!

But you're too down on yourself. If you're really that crooked,

then you should really come out and be crooked.

Vanessa...

You say something?

Why are you hanging around me?

You don't want it to end here, right?

I can tell by your face.

I wouldn't mind helping you out.

That is, if you'll help me out, in return.

Meaning what?

Temanaga's pot. You know about it, right?

I'm bringing it out. The discovery of the century.

Auntie, you'll be super-famous.

Why? Do you want to be famous?

Mm-mm. All I want is the money.

I mean, it's gotta be worth a fortune if we find it, right?

I've been waiting for this, you know?

For a partner like you, Auntie.

The way here can be slippery, so please be careful.

This is the entrance to the water channel.

As this is deemed holy ground, this place is off-limits.

But please look at these stone reliefs.

This is King Temanaga's Golden Pot.

It is because of this relief that they say

that the king's chamber is inside here, but is that actually so?

Excuse me,

but is the gold pot on display somewhere?

The thing of it is, no one has ever found it.

Nowadays, it is commonly held that the legend of Mr. Temanaga

is not, in fact, true.

Auntie, we're going tonight.

Vanessa, there is no pot in the ruins, is there?

Everyone says so.

I know.

Further up the ruins, it dead-ends.

But the stone of the ruins and the stone of the wall blocking the way

are completely different.

In other words, there's still something farther ahead.

My daddy said so, and I think so, too.

Meaning it's "not there" not because they haven't found it,

but because they can't find it.

Why? Once you enter the holy ground and steal the pot,

there's no coming back.

Coming back to where? I have nowhere to come back to here,

and I want to move on.

Move on? To where?

To where he is.

A man?

Yes, a man. Is that wrong?

A fool of a man, who set out with just his guitar.

Said he was going to make it as a pro musician.

I thought to myself, what's he talking about? He's an idiot.

But then, off he went.

Honestly, his songs aren't the usual fare.

They're about as lame as I am now.

It's not hard to guess how he'll end up. Pretty easy to imagine.

That's why I've gotta go to him. You know?

It really makes no sense how you can be so dumb and so upright.

I don't get you at all.

How about we stop twiddling our thumbs, and get going?

You don't have to come if you don't want to. I made up my mind that I was going tonight.

I'll be the one smiling. Just you watch, I'll definitely be smiling.

Rock Morena...?

What are you doing, Ricardo? They give you the boot?

I volunteered for the surveillance detail on you.

I figure I know you better than anyone.

You are certain to come into contact with Michiko Malandro.

And you would be willing to enlist Monstro's help to that end.

Like you've already done before.

What's in this for you? A promotion?

Yes.

How many times are you gonna sell me out before you're happy?

I doubt I can live up to your expectations.

Right now, unlike when I was living so pigheadedly,

I'm enjoying myself immensely.

Doing security for tours of the ruins, and patrolling the jungle?

Yeah.

I haven't seen you smile once. And I've been watching you a long time.

Is that how you're trying to goad me? Listen, Ricardo,

Monstro will be coming after me over what happened, too, you know.

That's the kind of man Satoshi Batista is.

There isn't a prayer of things going the way you seem to think.

If I leave here, I'll have to risk my life chasing after Michiko.

I've already had enough of that.

You've been waiting for me, right?

Vanessa...

What?

Let's go back.

Why?

There's a buildup of gas.

- -Vanessa! - -Let me go!

I can still keep going!

Do you want to die in here?!

If I do, then that's that, right?

Sad to say, and I really do hate to say,

but if I get spooked by every little thing, then from here on,

do you think I'm gonna be able to protect the man I love?!

No way. There's no way I'm letting you go.

Enough! If you're gonna stand in my way, then get out!

What the hell are you doing, you dirty old hag?!

Stop--

I can't go any farther than this, huh?

Thanks.

Look, Auntie.

Damn fine weather.

I'm going. I'm going even without it.

He's waiting for me.

Are you mad? Huh?

I'll give you whatever you want. Here.

Oh, look, Atsuko!

Yes, Ilha Azul Police Station.

Yes, sir! Atsuko? Yes, she's working hard, as usual, today.

Yes, sir! All right, goodbye.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen her this morning.

Let's go, Ricardo.

What I mean is, I'm gonna help you get promoted.

Come on, get up.

We're headed for the city of tomatoes.

Chasing you, chasing you

On a night when the sky is fairly dripping with stars

I want to believe in a miracle that will never happen

I would forever look at your face in profile,

always sitting right between me and him

I was the best friend close by your side

with my true feelings tucked away in my heart

If I could convey them to you here and now,

I wonder if the world would transform

I don't believe in God, but still,

I wish upon a star

I miss you now

On these sleepless nights my feelings only deepen

Baby I love you

Only after I met you did I realize

my loneliness and heartbreak

Always looking for you

Ah, my best friend

I want to hold you
