"About Love"
I continue wishing to see you
Today we'll go on a journey
That's as endless as the blue sky
With joy, sorrow and hope come setbacks
They repeat, they repeat
What should I believe?
You know nothing about love, however
Someday you will feel warmth inside
I dream of the day when you'll speak of love
Tomorrow, our journey will begin

Episode 21: Violin of Memories
What's wrong? - His temperature is worse than before.
That's right, I might have some medicine.
I think I still have Mr. Vitalis's medicine.
It's not here.
I must've used it all.
Marcel, hang in there.
It looks like he's really suffering.
Is Marcel going to get better?
I should get a doctor?
Yes, Marcel is very sick.
Please, get a doctor.
A doctor? I'm not getting a doctor, they cost money.
But he looks really bad. It's not just a cold.
It's his fault that he got sick.
Marcel... Marcel...
Get Marcel out of bed. - No!
He can't get up.
Have you forgotten the rules here?
No work, no food.
If you can't work then you get the lash.
But he can't go to work.
Quit talking back. - Stop!
What? - Yes, stop.
What's with those looks?
Do you want to be punished so early in the morning?
Remy!
I will make enough money for both me and Marcel.
Huh?
Then there won't be any problem, right? - Mattia...
Huh! How kind of you.
I'll let him take the day off if you insist.
But I won't forgive you if you don't make the money.
You know what will happen, don't you?
Do you think it was wise to do that?
If we hadn't made that deal then Marcel couldn't take the day off.
You're right, but...
I can handle it. Marcel is our friend.
Mattia!
Will Marcel be all right by himself?
I think he'll be fine.
I'll go to the hospital.
Hospital? - Yes.
I'll ask for a doctor to come.
That's impossible. No doctor would ever come to Groussinou Avenue.
And what about the money?
You see, Mattia.
Mr. Vitalis, who I'd been traveling with...
died from an illness.
If I had taken him to a doctor then, he might have survived.
But I couldn't do anything for him even though I loved Mr. Vitalis so much.
So I want to do my best.
I want to have Marcel examined by a doctor.
We can try.
We have nothing to lose.
Yup.
A home visit? What is your address?
Groussinou Avenue.
Groussinou Avenue?
Our doctor won't see a new patient without a referral letter,
since he is a famous doctor in Paris.
We'll be sure to pay.
We don't have any for him now but we're sure to have it later.
You don't have the money?
That's why... - Next patient, please.
Yes.
Remy, let's go.
Please, doctor.
I'm sorry, but I can't go. I'm busy right now.
No.
Wait, please. I'm begging you.
Remy, there aren't any doctors willing to go to Groussinou Avenue.
No, I won't give up.
Groussinou Avenue?
I refuse to go there.
Groussinou Avenue...
Sorry, please try another doctor.
What? Why won't you go to Groussinou Avenue?
Mattia...
But... Remy.
Please don't be upset.
Please, nurse.
I don't know...
What's going on? - Oh... doctor.
Please, there's a little boy who's very sick.
Come in and tell me your story.
Please calm down, Joli-Coeur.
Doctor, how's Marcel's condition?
The shot will lower his temperature.
You won't have to worry once the temperature goes down.
Good!
But his body is very weak.
You must keep him in bed and feed him a nourishing diet.
We will, doctor.
I will prescribe some medicine, so come and pick it up later.
Yes. Thank you very much. - Take care of him.
Doctor, I'll walk with you downstairs.
You will? Thank you.
Remy. - What?
If our boss had been in the house, what would you have done?
He told us not to get a doctor.
I didn't even think about that.
Huh! That's just like you, Remy.
I'm happy for you, Marcel.
Thank you very much, doctor.
Mattia! Mattia!
Mattia!
I'm coming!
It's great that Marcel's fever has gone down.
But we have to make enough money to pay for the doctor's visit and the medicine.
I have a good job.
It's a tough job, but it brings in a lot of money. I'm going there.
I'll do my best, too.
Capi and Joli-Coeur are saying they will do their best, too.
All right.
Let's meet in the park in the evening.
Come on! Move forward!
Here you go.
Damn it.
What's wrong? Your legs are kind of staggering.
Man, it's hot. - All right, take a break.
Mattia...
Mattia, what's wrong?
Oh... We got a doctor to examine Marcel.
He said once his fever goes down, he'll be fine.
A doctor? Even though we didn't have the money?
Yeah, so I need to make money for the medicine and the visit.
So that's why you're doing this hard job.
Right...
Mattia isn't it easier doing that ?
What? - Over there.
Rich people. We could make some fast money.
No!
I decided I'm not stealing anymore.
Just once more, for Marcel.
No! You said you didn't want to steal either.
All right, all right. Get your hands off me.
What's with you all of a sudden?
Sorry... But don't say that again.
Okay. I'll never say it again.
It's a promise, man to man.
Huh! You cheeky guy...
Hang in there, Mattia.
Let me help you.
Then, I have a favor to ask.
Buy some milk with this money and bring it to Marcel.
He has to have nutritious food.
Okay.
Mattia! Mattia!
All right, I'll leave it to you.
He's changed, that guy.
All thanks to Remy, eh?
10, 11, 12, 13, 14...
14 sous, that's not nearly enough.
All right, we have to work harder.
Mattia must be working hard, I guess.
Here's some milk. It's delicious.
Slowly, slowly.
Thank you, Ricardo.
It's very good.
You'll get better soon, Marcel.
Listen, like I told you before,
Mattia has been doing a very hard job for Marcel. We can do something, too.
Yeah. - Yeah.
We're all friends, aren't we?
Yes! That's right! - We'll all do our best, won't we?
We have to be quick. We don't have much time.
I don't have much time, either.
What are you doing, Mattia?
I know. We don't have a lot of time, right?
24 sous.
What should I do? This isn't even close to enough.
Remy!
Sorry, Mattia.
I only made 24 sous.
It's just one of those days.
No one wants to go out on such a hot day.
I made 45 sous.
We can pay for the visit with this.
But what about the medicine?
Marcel needs the medicine.
I'm sorry, I should have worked harder.
Remy...
Remy!
Don't forget to put our money into account.
Guys, you'll be badly punished by the boss if you give all your money.
That's right. You'll be in big trouble.
I don't mind as long as everyone's with me.
Me, too. - Me too.
Me, too. I'm not scared. - Me, too.
We're short.
We're still short even with all the money you guys collected.
What do you mean?
Mr. Vitalis's medicine was very expensive.
So I don't think this is enough.
Then, we can't do anything for Marcel?
Mattia.
Huh... It's no use.
Lise...
Why do you have that violin?
It seemed interesting, so I brought it with me.
Don't be mad at me, big brother Mattia.
Mattia...
Quiet, Joli-Coeur.
Mattia!
That was great! You're a genius, Mattia. - Remy...
I...
That was awesome!
That was great!
Yes! Yes! Thank you very much!
It's been quite a long time since I heard something that touched my soul like that.
Here's a token of my appreciation.
Treasure that talent of yours.
A gold coin.
Here, drink this.
It's good.
Good. - Now he'll get better soon.
It's all thanks to Mattia.
Wow... It's beautiful, isn't it?
That was the first time... - Huh?
that I worked so hard for somebody else.
The first time.
Your violin playing was wonderful.
It was really wonderful.
Did you learn how to play before?
You like that violin a lot, don't you?
It was Mr. Vitalis's violin.
My most loved person's violin.
I want to give it to you.
Please take it.
But it's important to you, isn't it?
It's all right. Mr. Vitalis will be happy to have someone play his violin.
From now on, it'll be your violin.
My violin? - Yes.
But...
I want you to play it, Mattia.
Thank you, Remy.
I will treasure it. - I'm glad!
Try to love yourself more
Abandoned dreams can be seen again
Surely, not everyone can be so strong
The blue sky lifts all of the world's tears...
Tomorrow's courage comes
From the future that gives us our fate
Try to seek for them more
Give your heart to
That person who is also seeking you
What are you doing here?
There's trouble! Come on everyone!
Remy's been trapped in the coal mine. - What?
Surviving the Underground
