Masked man (Loid) “You’ve had too much to drink. Why not lay down for a while?”
横になられる ＝ Keigo(respectful type) for “横になる”
横になる（よこになる/Yoko’ni naru）: lie down ＝ 横たわる（よこたわる/Yoko’tawaru）
横にする（よこにする/Yoko’ni suru）: lay down ＝ 横たえる（よこたえる/Yoko’taeru）
I’m wondering why “lay” was used here instead of “lie.” I guess it’s because the person doing the laying down and the person being laid down are the same? Or perhaps it’s to emphasize the act of laying something down that isn’t laid down yet? Anyway, I guess these words are quite confusing even for native English speakers, especially considering that the past tense of “lie” is “lay,” and that “lie” also means “to tell a lie”…
Yor “You must be quite tired after working at the hospital today.”
お疲れさま（おつかれさま/Otsukare’sama）: Good work!
The translation is a bit exaggerated, and actually, there is no equivalent phrase in English. In this case, Yor also finished work and came home, so it is a simple greeting, like “Welcome home, too, after your hard work at the hospital.” In fact, if you use this word among colleagues like “おつかれ～”, it’s used with almost the same casualness as saying “See you!”

アーニャ・フォージャー「ただいま、ちち、はは！」
Ānya Fōjā “Tadaima, Chichi, Haha!”
Anya Forger “Welcome home, Papa and Mama!”
ただいま（Tadaima）: I’m home, I’m back.
おかえり（Okaeri）: Welcome home, Welcome back.
Anya is probably not old enough to be in elementary school yet, and her language is very childish, so she mistakenly said “ただいま” instead of “おかえり”. Since she’s also come home from school just before them, it’s not entirely wrong to say “ただいま”, though.
Fiona “It’s a foreign brand. I’m They’re very particular about the materials, and this was quite troublesome to obtain, but I was able to get it through a friend.” (As I’ve previously mentioned, using an untrained civilian as your wife in the pretend family mission is limiting. I should take over the role of your wife.)
I think that “They’re” is correct here, instead of “I’m.” The subject is the “foreign brand (staff)”. Alternatively, you can replace the subject with “this hat” and think of it this way: This hat is made with great attention to the materials used…(この帽子は素材にとてもこだわって作られていて…)”
―――――――――――――――――
アーニャ「みんなでおかしつくって、いっとうしょうきめる」
Ānya “Minna’de okashi tsukutte, itto-sho kimeru.”
Anya “We’re all going to make desserts, and I’m going to win first prize. the first prize winner will be chosen.”
As with the above, the subject is not “I”, either. It’s often difficult to tell because Japanese sentences frequently lack a subject, but in this context, Anya is just telling them what the cooking class is like, and the verb is “きめる(決める/Decide)”, so the subject is “they” or “the judge (principal)” or someone who should decide the first prize. In case you want to say “I’m going to win first prize,” then in Japanese it would be like “アーニャ(は/が)、いっとうしょうとる！(アーニャ(は/が)、一等賞獲る/取る！)”.
―――――――――――――――――
ロイド「…あ。…メレメレはどうかな？」
Roido “…A. …Mere’mere’wa do-kana?”
Loid “Why don’t you try making meremere?”
The sweets “meremere” does not actually exist. It appears to be a coined word derived from “meringue,” which is made by whipping egg whites.
Loid “From the left, palm sugar, brown sugar, and white sugar.”
白双糖（しろざらとう/Shiro’zara’to）: coarse crystal sugar
上白糖（じょうはくとう/Jo-hakuto）: white soft sugar, caster sugar, superfine suger
It appears that both 白双糖 and 上白糖 are unique to Japan and are not available overseas. That’s why they probably changed them to brown sugar and white sugar in the translation so that it would be easier for people overseas to understand.
―――――――――――――――――
アーニャ「くっ…なんてすばしっこいやつらなんだ」
Ānya “Ku… Nante subashikkoi yatsura’nanda.”
Anya “Curses! They’re just so fast!”
すばしっこい（Subashikkoi）: nimble, quick, agile
It’s not simply about speed, but rather about the quick, agile movements of children or small animals like squirrels and mice.
Anya “It’s time to battle, very polite boss lady! Step outside!”
With kanji → 「勝負(しょうぶ)だ！丁寧語(ていねいご)女(おんな)ボス！表(おもて)へ出(で)ろ！」
丁寧語（ていねいご/Teinei’go）: keigo (polite type)
I love the scene where Anya’s face lights up with joy just before she says this line. That clearly shows us how happy Anya was that Yor joined in on her game. Yor is a truly caring, wonderful mother.
Snidel “To think you had eaten our chocolate even before the meremere incident.”
～とは…。(～towa…): To think that～ ＝ まさか～とは(Masaka～towa.)
――――――――――――――――――
スナイデル「大(だい)はしたかと聞(き)いている」
Sunaideru “Dai’wa shitaka’to kiite’iru.”
Snidel “I’m asking you if you’ve passed any stool.”
大をする（だいをする/Dai’o suru）: go number two
小をする（しょうをする/Sho-o suru）: go number one
The word “うんこ/poop” is repeated many times in this movie because they're talking with Anya, but adults don’t usually use such direct words unless they are talking about or speaking to young children. “大(だい/Dai): big” refers to feces and “小(しょう/Sho): small” refers to urine, and they are also sometimes called “大きい方（おおきいほう/Ookii ho）: the big one” and “小さい方（ちいさいほう/Chiisai ho）: the small one.” When writing, such as on questionnaires or forms at a hospital, 大便（だいべん/Daiben） and 小便（しょうべん/Sho-ben） are used.
――――――――――――――――――
2人「ジャンケン…ポン！」
Futari “Janken…pon!”
The two “Rock, paper… scissors!”
ジャンケン（じゃんけん/Janken）: Rock, paper, scissors.
Rock: グー（ぐー/Guu）
Paper: パー(ぱー/Paa)
Scissors: チョキ(ちょき/Choki)
While the game itself is commonly called じゃんけん, the chants used vary from region to region in Japan. The most common one is じゃんけん、ぽん！or じゃんけん、ほい！ (You throw one of the three while saying the final “ぽん” or “ほい”.)
Sylvia “An anonymous source exposed his infidelity. He’s been disowned by his wife’s father, who is an assemblyman, and now, talks of his succession are indefinite. Yeesh! Talk about bad timing for the guy. He sure did a dumb thing.”
This is purely my speculation, but the way Sylvia speaks makes me wonder if she either leaked the scandal or even orchestrated it through a honey trap or something similar.
Loid “The vice principal… I think I read in your school paper that the vice principal absolutely loves berry pudding from the southern region.”
〇〇に目がない（〇〇にめがない/〇〇ni me’ga nai）: have a thing for/have a weakness for/can’t resist 〇〇
―――――――――――――――――
This movie story isn’t in the original manga. I feel worried that Loid may be in a severe situation if Colonel Snidel tells SSS what happened, but… let’s not think about that. In all the English subtitles I’ve seen so far, no matter how loud the lines were, the subtitles were always simple and the same size. But this time, I was surprised to see the Loid’s line “So reliable…” repeating in Nightfall’s head was displayed in a really big font. It's so funny that they used that technique only in that scene and nowhere else! By the way, did you notice that there’s a scene with Franky after the end credits? I wonder if some people are missing it. Poor Franky!
Finally, I completed all the posts about the existing SPYxFamily anime. Thank you very much for reading my posts. For a while, I’m planning to work on some remaining tasks from other shows, but please feel free to send any questions or comments you may have. From October, I’ll be focusing on the new season of The Apothecary Diaries. Thanks and see you!
Loid (What was that explosion earlier? Was the damage to the ship when I landed so roughly? No. Right now, I need to use this chaos to my advantage and…”
Yor “How rude of them to just start shooting me like that. I wonder if these people are associated with the bad people who attacked Miss Anya on the train. If that’s the case…”

Sunaideru “Yoshi. Sassa’to koko’ni tsurete’koi.”
Snidel “Good. Now, have them bring her here immediately!”
Snidel (Loid) “A true officer must fulfill his duty! This ship won’t last long. So we’ll have to abandon ship and carry out the rest of the plan on land! All personnel, abandon ship!”

Sylvia “Well done, Twilight. Looks like the State Security Service has started putting out some fires, but they haven’t found anything suggesting any of you were there.”
Sylvia “An anonymous source exposed his infidelity. He’s been disowned by his wife’s father, who is an assemblyman, and now, talks of his succession are indefinite. Yeesh! Talk about bad timing for the guy. He sure did a dumb thing.”
Loid (Even though it’s been decided that I will continue with Operation Strix, I can’t let my guard down. We’ll need to continue concentrating on getting more Stellas.)
Loid “The kitchen at your school had a malfunction, so your cooking class has been postponed. Because of scheduling, the judge will now be the vice principal…”
Loid “Apparently, there’s a shop in the next town over that has liqueurs. It’s a bit far, so I talked to the hotel about it, and they’re lending me a car.”

Loid (If Anya’s unable to get a Stella immediately, it’ll be difficult to continue Operation Strix. And if that happens, this pretend family will also come to an end.)
アーニャ（かぞく…おわる？なんで？）
Ānya (Kazoku…owaru? Nande?)

Loid (I need to concentrate on getting the liqueur―)
Yor “She was really looking forward to this trip. She filled her bag with all the snacks we’d eat and all the toys we’d play with… I know I ended up making Yuri feel alone, so I’m pretty sure I understand how Miss Anya feels. I’m sure she wants to have fun with you. It’s very lonely for you to go off somewhere away from your family by yourself.”
Hotel staff (Fiona) “And so we’re searching for the stolen microfilm. If it gets into the hands of the Republic of Albo, it’ll trigger a war between the East and West.”
Hotel staff (Fiona) “The party behind this is military intelligence’s special reconnaissance regiment. We believe the one in charge is Colonel Snidel.”

Snidel (Tch. I can’t believe she ate the microfilm we went to the trouble of hiding in chocolate. This is going to be a pain, but we’ll have to wait on killing her until she takes a shit.)
Radio “We will now begin our top secret flight… …into the Republic of Albo led by Colonel Snidel according to plan. Further communications will be through the GC channel. Aviation cipher 0714.”
Yor (Come to think of if, the two that attacked Miss Anya… Were they from the military? But if I tell Loid that, he’ll find out that I beat them to a pulp.)
Military personnel (Fiona) “Twilight, can you hear me? According to the information here, the battle airship with Colonel Snidel aboard is around three kilometers north by northeast.”
Poop God “Warrior Anya, you’ve fought well. You overcame hardships and did your best to protect world peace. But you’ve done enough. You don’t need to hold back anymore. Relax your butt and rest, Warrior Anya.”

Owner “I lost everything in the air raids. My home and my family. There was no food, and I couldn’t even find a place to sleep with a roof. That’s when a child called out to me. They wanted to get some ingredients from under the rubble and asked if I could help. They were an orphan who had lost their family, just like me.”
Owner “The warm meals we had lost… I at least wanted everyone to be able to taste the family meals that my mother made. Though, back then, I was mostly doing it to soothe my ego.”
ボンド「グルルル…」
Bondo “Gurururu…”
店員「お待(ま)たせしました。メレメレです」
Ten’in “Omatase’shima’shita. Mere’mere’desu.”
Server “Thank you for waiting. Here’s your meremere.”
Loid “I do beg your pardon. I thank you for your service, but my daughter was looking forward to that meremere very much, so could you order a different dessert?”
Loid “Don’t worry, Anya. Even if the meremere has to wait until tomorrow, as long as we make our train, we’ll be back in time for your Monday cooking class.”
Loid (No, it’d be impossible for her to win fair and square with her skills. If we have any chance of winning, it’s by making the principal’s favorite meremere.)
Loid (Dried cherries from the shop across the street on the right. Lingonberries from the ship just beyond that. Hazelnuts from the back shelf at the third shop on the right. Understood.)
Shooting gallery owner “Hmph. It’s useless. You can shoot them all you want, but they won’t go down. Everything but the stuff on the bottom row is propped up from the back so it won’t go down.)
Loid (Cherry liqueur from the McNally region is rare and hardly ever makes it out to the markets. Which means I’ll have to use a slightly unlawful way of getting it. And that’ll be harder to pull off with those two around.)
Military personnel “Colonel Snidel has arrived! We have negotiated a route to the Republic of Albo. Type F calibration complete. Norida-class battle airship Enormity ready for takeoff.”
Sylvia “If that microfilm gets into the hands of the Republic of Albo, there will be an all-out war between the East and the West. Thankfully, Twilight is in Frigis.”
Mrs. Bernard (Loid) “Good day, or perhaps, good evening. I’ve obtained their plans for missile deployment. This will stop the balance of power between the East and the West from collapsing.”
Yor “I have been informed that you’re the traitorous scumbag who has illegally sold weapons to Westalis. Terribly sorry but may I have the honor of taking your life?”
Narration “…husband and wife. But the husband, for his mission, and the wife, to conceal her true identity, are in a pretend marriage. And neither of them knows the other’s true identity.”
Narration “It is customary at the prestigious Eden College to give out medals called Stellas to the students to reward them for excellent grades. Students who have gathered eight Stellas are allowed to attend the social gathering that various elites attend. The mission Loid was tasked with, Operation Strix, was to infiltrate this social gathering and make contact with one of the most prominent politicians in Ostania, Donovan Desmond. That is why Loid has created a pretend family and enrolled his daughter Anya into that school.”
Loid “‘The cooking class starts on Monday at 2:00 PM. You may make any dessert you please. You just need to be fully prepared and create your dish elegantly.’ Monday at 2 PM… I guess we’re going to do some cooking training over the weekend.”
Loid “This man is a buffoon. Desmond is extremely cautious. This man is unqualified, lacking the experience and skills necessary for this mission. This is too great a risk.”
Sylvia “I completely agree with you. But our country has decided this over our heads. Depple has strong support from someone very important on the committee. Since the upper brass is always desperate to get funding, they couldn’t say no to this. If only we could have made a little bit more progress, we might have had some ammo to push back with.”
Fiona “Thank you very much, kind sir. I don’t know how to thank you.” (Twilight, I’m surprised to find you here. Did something happen with Operation Strix?)
Fiona “It’s a foreign brand. I’m They’re very particular about the materials, and this was quite troublesome to obtain, but I was able to get it through a friend.” (As I’ve previously mentioned, using an untrained civilian as your wife in the pretend family mission is limiting. I should take over the role of your wife.)

Camilla “Oh, uh, we were talking about infidelity.”
Yor (Could it be that he’s going to ask someone else to take over playing his wife? Am I really still lacking when it comes to being a wife and a mother?)
Loid (If she can obtain a Stella from this, we might be able to keep Operation Strix going a bit longer. This might give Handler the ammo she needs to give the higher-ups some pushback…)
Loid “Why don’t we go to Frigis and try some? If you’re going for first place, it’d be best to go there and try it yourself. It’s a bit far, but we can use the weekend to go there and come back.”
Yor “Well, we did practice writing together the other day. Miss Anya was working very hard. She is taking a while, though. I hope she didn’t get lost.”
Yor “Oh, no, no! It seems the lipstick I was using didn’t agree with me, so they’ve been itchy. M-More importantly, Miss Anya really is taking a while. I’m a bit worried, so I’ll go check on her.”
Domitri “How could you lose the key? The Colonel’s going to kill you, Luca. This is just like my star fortune-telling said. It said to be careful about losing things.”
Domitri “The guys from the Republic would grow a hand out of their throat for this treasure. With this, we can instantly destroy the balance between the East and West.”
Franky Franklin “You bastard! Did you forget how much I’ve taken care of you?!”
恩（おん/On）: favor, gratitude, obligation, kindness
It’s the feeling of gratitude you have for the kindness you’ve received from others, and it’s actually a deep gratitude that you’ll never forget with the desire to repay that kindness someday.
Furankī “Nani’ga do shikata’nainda!? Itte’mi!? Gohyaku’moji’inai’de itte’mi!?”
Franky “How am I your only option?! Well?! Tell me! Tell me in 500 characters or less!”
言ってみ？ ＝ 言ってみろ（いってみろ/Itte’miro）: Just try, tell me.
〇〇(verb)＋て＋みる ＝ try 〇〇ing, give it a try/shot, have a go, try and see
In this scene, Franky is convinced that there is no legitimate reason for Loid to make him do that role. So he’s actually saying like 「言えるもんなら、言ってみろよ（いえるもんなら、いってみろよ: Just tell me, if you can.）」 The phrase “in 500 characters” is of course a joke, mimicking the format of a common question on a Japanese language test. I think 500 characters is too long, though.
Loid (This means the outdoor staircase is a no-go. Which means we’ll have to force our way through the smoke. I’ll be fine, but Bond’s running out of air.)
強行突破する（きょうこうとっぱする/Kyo-ko-toppa’suru）: force one’s way through,
日もちする（ひもちする/Himochi’suru）: keep well (mainly for foods)
This word is written with the kanji “持”, like “持つ、日持ちする、長持ちする”, but because it can be easily confused with the meaning of “to have/hold/carry,” it is sometimes deliberately written in hiragana or with the kanji “保”, like “保つ、日保ちする、長保ちする” when used in this sense.
Loid “I’m sorry, too. Putting you to work can take a back seat. First and foremost, you need to fully realize that you’re one of the Forgers. Got it? Are you hurt at all?”
二の次（にのつぎ/Ni’no tsugi）: That’s not the priority, That’s a secondary concern.
It’s used when you want to put something on hold and prioritize the other thing.
―――――――――――――――――
This is the final episode of Season 2, and I have finally completed posting all the TV anime episodes. This fire episode is the same as the original manga, but the scenes with Anya and Yor are completely anime-original. It was an exciting, and also a heartwarming story where Loid’s kindness reached Bond. There was a scene where Anya was doing origami, and origami is a common pastime that every Japanese has played as a child. There is also a custom called “千羽鶴（せんばづる/Senba’zuru）: A thousand cranes” where people offer 1000 origami cranes and make a big wish, and I still remember how to fold a crane.
Now that I’ve finished the entire TV anime series, I’m planning to post a movie remaind. The movie is long, so it might take a little while, but please be patient.
Narration “In an era in which the nations of the world were waging a fierce war of information just out of sight, two countries were at odds with each other: Ostania, in the east, and Westalis, in the west. In order to keep an eye on the actions of a leading figure in Ostania’s government who was planning a war, Westalis set Operation Strix in motion. The one tasked with this operation is the skilled agent, Twilight. The mission given to the master of disguise with a hundred faces was… to start a family. The father, Loid Forger, is a psychiatrist. His true identity: a spy. Code name: Twilight. The mother, Yor Forger, is a civil servant who works at city hall. Her true identity: an assassin. Code name: Thorn Princess. The daughter, Anya Forger. Her true identity: a telepath who can read people’s minds. The dog, Bondo Forger. His true identity: a canine seer who can see the future. They created this pretend family for their own benefit, and their mission continues as they all hide their identities from each other.”

Yoru Fōjā “Gakko-de hayatte’runda’so-desu.”
Yor Forger “Apparently, it’s very popular at school right now.”
Loid “That’s right. Go after your target’s arms or legs to render them powerless. Don’t go after vital points that could cause fatal wounds, though. Then I won’t be able to get any intel out of them.”
Loid “Hey! Once you bite your target, absolutely do not let go! It’s risky for you, and biting your target more makes a fatal wound more likely. Maybe you’re too nice, and barking and biting don’t really suit you.”
Loid “All right. That’s enough suppression and protection training. Let’s do some training on order sorting and locating explosives. It’s really hard to learn.”
Franky “Project Apple is where they did experiments to make intelligent army dogs, right? He probably had to go through a lot of training and doesn’t want to do it anymore.”
Franky “To the doggo here, training and combat are basically like playing. At least try to act like you’re having fun. You’re always lacking in that department. Take him on a walk or something for a change of pace. So yeah, I’m going home.”
Loid (This is strange. I’ve done basic socialization and obedience training with him already. And he’s never been a reckless dog. Just like with Anya, I guess I still have a lot to learn about him.)
Loid (He’s clearly scared of the fire. We can’t force our way through. This is bad. What should we do? Most of the bottom floor’s been engulfed in flames. The only way out is the outdoor staircase north of here. There’s chance it might fall apart, but…”

Loid (This means the outdoor staircase is a no-go. Which means we’ll have to force our way through the smoke. I’ll be fine, but Bond’s running out of air.)
Loid “We’ll just report him to the police and let them deal with him. I’m surprised you noticed. Was his scent at the scene? Or was the arsonist letting off his unique stress scent?”
Loid “I’m sorry, too. Putting you to work can take a back seat. First and foremost, you need to fully realize that you’re one of the Forgers. Got it? Are you hurt at all?”
Loid “What are you doing? Hey, stop that! Don’t get ahead of yourself. This is just because I can’t afford to let any member of the Forger family be eliminated.”
Loid “I don’t have a mission tomorrow, so why don’t we all go to a dog park? It’s been a while. You’re the only one who didn’t get to enjoy the vacation since you stayed behind, anyway.”

Loid (The way her attendant carries herself… She’s clearly a former soldier who’s seen countless battlefields. I guess that’s to be expected of the Blackbells.)
身のこなし（みのこなし/Mi’no konashi）: The way one carries oneself, carriage, poise, bearing, demeanor, movement

Anya (She brings up good points! I’m sorry, Mama. I’m gonna side with Becky for just a bit for the sake of world-class chefs.)
なしじゃない ＝ なしではない: not “no”, This isn’t a no for me.
なし(無し/Nashi): without, none, nothing, no, not happening
In response to someone’s suggestion… 無しだ（ナシだ/なしだ/Nashi’da）: This is a no for me. That’s not happening.
⇔ あり（有り/Ari）: There is/are, available, yes
In response to someone’s suggestion… 有りだ（アリだ/ありだ/Ari’da）: That works, Good idea.
Young people, in particular, have been using these phrases a lot lately when responding to someone’s suggestion. In that case, only the “アリ(あり)” and “ナシ(なし)” parts are often written in katakana.
Becky (Huh? That wasn’t much of a reaction. Maybe I didn’t bat my eyelashes enough. But Tommy said it’s really sexy when a girl lets down her hair or puts it back up.)
上目遣い（うわめづかい/Uwame’zukai）: upward glance, upturned eyes, looking up through your eyelashes, puppy-dog eyes
Becky (My precious Loid is right next to me! He’s right next to me! Showing mercy by having him sit next to me? The missus must be going crazy. I know. She must’ve admitted defeat after seeing my hair attack! This is your chance, Becky! Go all in!)

ヨユー ＝ よゆう（余裕/Yoyu）: room, leeway, a breeze, spare, afford to, have the luxury of

As we already knew, both Becky and Fiona love Loid so much. Fiona’s episode is not in the original manga and is an anime-original. It’s admirable how Fiona trains her body through rigorous training in order to defeat Yor, even if her efforts are misguided. I especially laughed at the scene where she’s riding on the crocodile’s back with a serious expression on her face.
Roido (Shitsuji’no ano mi’no konashi… Bakazu’o funda moto’gunjin’dana. Sasuga’wa Burakkuberu.)
Loid (The way her attendant carries herself… She’s clearly a former soldier who’s seen countless battlefields. I guess that’s to be expected of the Blackbells.)
Loid (I have various routes to obtain my intel, but there might be some useful information I can gain from the Blackbell’s daughter, as well. I guess I’ll chat with her.)
Loid (Currently, there’s nothing suggesting that Blackbell Heavy Industries is involved any plans for war, but it wouldn’t hurt to obtain some information for the future just in case.)
Becky (Huh? That wasn’t much of a reaction. Maybe I didn’t bat my eyelashes enough. But Tommy said it’s really sexy when a girl lets down her hair or puts it back up.)
Becky (My precious Loid is right next to me! He’s right next to me! Showing mercy by having him sit next to me? The missus must be going crazy. I know. She must’ve admitted defeat after seeing my hair attack! This is your chance, Becky! Go all in!)

Fiona (Agent Twilight is WISE’s number one spy. None of the missions that a spy of his caliber is tasked with are easy. But for me, this is a huge opportunity.)
Fiona (Twilight has taught me so very much… The techniques of a spy, how to present myself… I use all those skills to the fullest to complete my missions.)
Fiona (Yes! Now I’m sure Twilight will finally figure out that I’m the one best suited to be his partner! But… This is still not enough to secure complete victory. In order to defeat Yor Briar… In order to become Mrs. Forger… I need more!)
Fiona (I worked very hard on my missions so I can be a woman you’d admire. Next time, I’m going to beat that woman, too. So you should choose me to be your wife!)
Becky “We stayed in the imperial suite, but the furnishings didn’t quite do it for me.”
チョードヒン ＝ 調度品（ちょうどひん/Cho-do’hin）: furnishings
シュミ ＝ 趣味（しゅみ/Shumi）: hobby, taste
イマイチ ＝ 今ひとつ（いまひとつ/Ima’hitotsu）: not great, not quite, so-so

ダミアン「よせよ。庶民(しょみん)がかわいそうだろ」
Damian “Yose’yo. Shomin’ga kawaiso-daro.”
Damian “Hey, quit it. I feel bad for the commoners.”
よせ ＝ 止せ(Yose): Quit it, Stop it, Don’t.
(original form) 止す（よす/Yosu） ＝ 止める（やめる/Yameru）
While “Yosu” has the same meaning as “Yameru,” it’s a little formal and old-fashioned word, and young people, especially children, don’t use it very often. In this scene, Damian isn’t genuinely telling Emile and Ewen to stop; he’s just pretending to be righteous, and is actually egging them on, which is why he chose this pretentious word to make it comedic.
Ewen “Just the other day, I got to fly over Münk in a helicopter. It was so much fun!”
〇〇なんか(〇〇nanka)… “なんか” is often used when comparing something to others or other things and finding it inferior, but as in this scene, it can also be used when boasting about something even more impressive than what was said just before.
Becky “Hmph. So what? I got my papa to let me have a party with the actress from Berlint in love, Rachel. There were about a hundred people there, and I got to hear behind-the-scenes stories and received presents. It was just so much fun!”
Again, “〇〇nanka” is used here. Just hearing her say “あたしなんか” is enough to tell you it’s a boast, even without hearing what she says next.
Anya “Yeah, well, on Anya’s ship… There were, like, a hundred really insane people!”
（盛）（もり/Mori）: This notation was used in the original manga.
話(はなし)を盛(も)っている(Hanashi’o motte’iru) : be exaggerating the story.

生徒「えっ、外国(がいこく)のタレントさん！？」
Seito “E, gaikoku’no tarento’san!?”
Student “Wait, so foreign celebrities?”
タレント（たれんと/Tarento）: This word came from the English word “talent.” It’s a general term for entertainers who are not singers, actors, or dancers, and do not have a specific title, among the above-mentioned “芸能人（げいのうじん/Geino-jin）”. I’m not sure what the English word “celebrity” encompasses, but in Japanese, “Geino-jin” and “Tarento” generally refer to people who frequently appear on TV, and include a wide range of people from stars to unpopular people.

『捏造(ねつぞう)/Netsuzo/Lies』
捏造（ねつぞう/Netsuzo）: fabrication, forgery, falsehood
“捏造(ねつぞう/Netsuzo)” is translated as “a lie” here, but it is the act of unjustly creating something that does not exist for personal gain. It’s used in phrases like “fabricating evidence” as “証拠の捏造（しょうこのねつぞう/Sho-ko’no netsuzo）” in court. In this scene, this strong word is used in order to emphasize that she made up characters that don’t exist at all.

ある意味（あるいみ/Aru imi）: in a sense, in a way

This episode was a peaceful one, a stark contrast to the intense battles of the previous episodes. The official image which I posted at the end of the script is so beautiful. The first half of this episode reminded me of my family trip to the beach when my children were little. Of course, it wasn’t a luxurious cruise, but I was so happy to see how much they were enjoying themselves. I’m sure this cruise trip will be an unforgettable memory for Loid, Yor, and Anya as well.
第10話（通算第35話）『リゾートを満喫せよ（りぞーとをまんきつせよ/Rizōto’o Mankitsu’seyo）/休暇自慢(きゅうかじまん/Kyu-ka’Jiman)』 / Episode 10 (Ep.35): “ENJOY THE RESORT TO THE FULLEST / BRAGGING ABOUT VACATION”

Loid (I’m glad all these State Security Service officers are keeping an eye out for the bomber. But I keep feeling like I’m being stared at, and it’s insanely distracting.)
Sylvia Sherwood “This incident on the Lorelei… Though it hasn’t been announced publicly, apparently, a lot of passengers went missing. All of them had forged IDs.”
Loid “I did indeed see a number of suspicious-looking characters. If any are involved in instigating conflict between the East and West, we should look into them.”
Sylvia “Apparently the State Security Service thinks there’s another country involved in this. I’m sure they’re going to erase any trace of this incident happening, though. We’ll just keep our eye out for any extremists in Ostania on our end. This would involve Strix, as well. I’m counting on you.”
Yuri “My sister’s back from her business trip! I’m going to stop by my sister’s place after work! I’ve been so long since I’ve been Sis! Sis! Sis! But if she’s back, that also means… He’s back.”
Loid (But despite him being a relative, he’s an officer of the State Security Service, the arch-nemesis of WISE. Letting my guard down even a little may cost me dearly.)
Loid “It’ll probably look more convincing if I move the pillows closer together. I should also add more recent family photos. Maybe I should prepare matching pajamas, too, just in case.”

Becky “Hmph. So what? I got my papa to let me have a party with the actress from Berlint in love, Rachel. There were about a hundred people there, and I got to hear behind-the-scenes stories and received presents. It was just so much fun!”
Ānya “Chicchicchi, nyūsu’niwa natte’nai. Naze’nara yatsura’wa, seifu’nimo sono sonzai’o shirarete’inai. Himitsu’no waru’mono’nanoda. Sono sho-tai’wa, umi’no soko’kara yatte’kita, tako’seijin…!!”
Anya “Tsk, tsk, tsk. They weren’t on the news. That’s because they’re a bunch of secret bad guys that even the government doesn’t know about! The truth is they came from the bottom of the ocean… They were… The octopeople!”
Becky “I totally understand. We humans are creatures that try to embellish things at times so we look even better. But if you just work hard to get closer to your ideal self, you’ll become a lovely lady. That’s what my mama told me.”
Loid “If you let your emotions take over and tell careless lies, you’ll get burned. If you’re going to create a persona for yourself, you need to be strategic and commit. Stake your life on it! First, you need to gather enough details to make your lie convincing, and work in some truth here and there. But be extravagantly…”
Yuri “I’ve seen so many of them throughout my life. Those who lie are nothing but trash. They’re all just filth, nothing more than vermin infesting our country! Me? The only reason I’m lying about who I am is for my sister! Everything I do for my sister is righteous!”
Crew “Pardon. I used to be in the navy. I was in charge of disarming bombs. I’d like to offer my assistance.”
自分（じぶん/Jibun）: myself, oneself
In dramas and other media, it’s common to see police officers and members of the Japan Self-Defense Forces using “jibun” as their first-person pronoun. In reality, however, because that way of speaking is reminiscent of the old military, it seems that nowadays they are being taught to use “私（わたし/Watashi）” instead. I don’t know anyone in the police force personally, so this is information I saw online, though.
Crew (Loid) (A bomb that extremists from the West love using. Is the suspect someone important from the East? Were they after this ship as a whole or… (→Is the culprit targeting someone important from the East, or is it targeting this ship as a whole?) No, I haven’t heard anything from HQ about a group like that. It’s possible the bomb was designed to look like the West was responsible.)
I think the red-colored part of this line is not correct.
<The Japanese & English subtitle and Loid’s VA’s voice acting>
“Is the suspect someone important from the East? Were they after this ship as a whole or…”
There are two questions, since there are two question marks and Loid’s VA was raising the pitch of his voice at the end of the first sentence. The first question is about who the culprit is, and the second is about who the target is.
“Is the culprit targeting someone important from the East, or is it targeting this ship as a whole?”
There is a single question about who the target is, and there are two possible answers that came to Loid’s mind at that moment. In this case, Loid should not raise the pitch of his voice in the middle but do that only at the end of the question.
In Japanese conversation, the presence or absence of a question mark can determine whether a sentence is a question or not, even if the sentence is the same.
そうですか？（So-desu’ka?）: Is that so? ＝ a question
そうですか。(So-desu’ka.): I see. ＝ It’s not a question.
In spoken conversation, it’s impossible to see whether a question mark is present or not, so you should raise your pitch at the end of a question. In case you’re still unsure which it is, you need to judge from the context as follows;
“A bomb that extremists from the West love using.”
→ The culprit is from the West.
So, I was confused to hear “Is the suspect someone important from the East?”, I checked the original manga, and found there was no question mark in the middle.
That’s why I believe the orange-colored ones from the original manga are correct. I guess this is either a mistake in the Japanese anime script or in the VA’s way of speaking.
Informant (It’s definitely time for me to go. I’ve made more than enough from this job. I’m getting the hell outta here before those hyenas sniff me out. You guys can keep playing around for whatever time is left.)
潮時（しおどき/Shio’doki）: It’s the right time to～
Originally, this phrase had a positive meaning, referring to the perfect time to do something, but in modern times, it’s almost always used in a negative sense, referring to the right time to quit something.
――――――――――――――――
アーニャ（あっ…あれは…ははの、さすやつ…！！）
Ānya (A…Are’wa… Haha’no, sasu yatsu…!!)
Anya (That’s… Mama’s stabby thing!)
さす（刺す/Sasu）: stab
やつ(Yatsu): thing ＝ もの（Mono）、～の（～no）
I guess this “やつ（Yatsu）: thing” is from the Kansai dialect. I’m from Osaka and we’ve been using this word very often, when we don’t know the exact name of something, or like the English word “one” in “Which one do you like? Red one, or blue one?” In Tokyo and the eastern regions, “やつ（Yatsu）” had a strong connotation as a derogatory term for other person, and I think it was more common to use “もの(Mono)” when referring to objects/things. Recently there are many TV programs featuring comedians from the Kansai region who speak in the Kansai dialect, so people from Tokyo have become accustomed to hearing it, and especially young people started to use it naturally in their daily conversation.
In this Anya’s line, using “mono” would sound too polite and unnatural for Anya, and using “～no” as “刺すの(さすの/Sasu’no)” would be possible but a little confusing, so “yatsu” makes it more comedic and effective.

ランニング「オイ、音(おと)立(た)てんなって！！」
Ranningu “Oi, oto taten’natte!!”
Tank top “Hey! Stop making noise!”
ランニング（らんにんぐ/Ran’ningu）: sleeveless underwear(old-fashioned way of saying), tank top
Some people over 70 still call a tank top “ranningu”, but generally, it’s mostly called “タンクトップ(たんくとっぷ/Tanku’toppu)”: tank top”.
グラサン「オレじゃねーよ！何(なん)だ今(いま)の音(おと)！」
Gurasan “Ore’ja nee’yo! Nanda ima’no oto!”
Sunglasses “It wasn’t me. What the hell was that sound?”
グラサン（ぐらさん/Gurasan）: sunglasses, a shortened form of “サングラス(Sangurasu)”, a slang for sunglasses
I guess that they might have used “ランニング(5 characters)” instead of “タンクトップ(6)”, and also “グラサン(4)” instead of “サングラス(5)”, in order to reduce the number of characters even if it’s just by one character when displaying it within the limited space on the screen as Japanese subtitles.

Matthew (Director) “Don’t let yourself actually become sentimental. Don’t forget that we are nothing more than foot soldiers.”
一丁前に（いっちょうまえに/Iccho-mae’ni）, いっちょまえに(Iccho’mae’ni): acting all grown-up, acting like a grown-up/fully fledged
一兵卒（いっぺいそつ/Ippei’sotsu）: private, foot soldier
I felt sorry for Yor since this Matthew’s line sounded so mean. But he saw through her hesitation about fighting on the same ship as her family, and feared that it would lead to fatal mistakes in her battles. Actually, and this is very sad, but it would be sometimes dangerous to bring normal emotions into their special work.
――――――――――――――――――
Finally, Loid played a major role in the cruise arc. After such a flashy and attention-grabbing role, I’m worried that SSS’s post-incident investigation will reveal him to be a fake crew member, leading to suspicion that he might be Twilight, a master of disguise. This will put Loid, whose name is on the passenger manifest, in a lot of trouble… but I’m sure Sylvia and WISE will come up with an elaborate plan to make everything fit together and get through it.
It has become increasingly clear that Yor and Loid, despite knowing they are a fake family, have developed a genuine affection for their family. I hope that one day they can find happiness as a truly ordinary family.
Narration “Anya won first place in a raffle, and the Forgers just happened to end up on the same cruise ship. Many assassins had already snuck aboard.”

Yor (I just wanted to protect his simple life. Things are not going to change. No… Now more than ever… I’m sure Loid will acknowledge me. He’ll forgive me. I will not give up… this fight!)
Loid (The State Security Service officers seem uneasy. What’s going on? ‘Gather personnel quickly…’ ‘…has been set in a room…’ ‘A bomb at the bottom of the ship’?!)
Loid (But who set it? And why? What should I do? Gather more information? No… The State Security Service officers will take care of this. There’ll definitely be risks if I stick my neck out. But the unthinkable could happen. Considering the greater risk at hand, I can’t just avoid this, either. But I also can’t leave Anya alone. What should I do?)
Crew (Loid) (A bomb that extremists from the West love using. Is the suspect someone important from the East?

Informant “Like any of them are that important. Don’t worry. The bombs are made to look like they were made in the West. If things go well, war will break out again, and weapon sales will be through the roof. The client will be plenty happy.”

These words mean almost the same thing, like “as 〇〇 as possible,” but なるべく is more casual/weak and is often used in negative sentences or undesirable situations, while できるだけ・できる限り have a strong /positive nuance and are often used in affirmative sentences or desirable situations.
なるべく is also used in the following Matthew’s line later;
Matthew (Director) “Could you try to finish them off without making such a mess? It’s becoming a pain to clean up after you.”
In this line, なるべく跡を残さず is the same as なるべく跡を残さないように, which means “try to finish them in a way that leaves as few traces as possible.”
―――――――――――――――――――
The assassins who are killed one after another by Yor had their physical characteristics described as nicknames only in the Japanese subtitle, just like them in the previous episode. The nicknames are not official ones after all, so I mentioned simple & direct translation in orange.
モーニングスター使(つか)い「ふんっ！」
Mōningu’sutā’tsukai “Fun!”
Morning star wielder
鉤爪(かぎづめ)使(つか)い「ヒューッ！」
Kagizume’tsukai “Hyuuu!”
Claw/Talon(-shaped/like weapon) wielder
〇〇使い（〇〇つかい/〇〇tsukai）: It means 〇〇 user, but actually the Japanese term 〇〇tsukai refers to someone who possesses the skill to wield a specific weapon or technique with ease, not simply someone who uses a tool. For example, we call a wizard/mage “魔法使い/まほうつかい/Maho-tsukai”. So I translated it as 〇〇 wielder. In case you want to say a simple user of a tool, for example “I’m an iPhone user” in Japanese, you can say “私はアイフォンユーザーです/わたしはあいふぉんゆーざーです/Watashi’wa aifon yūzā desu“ or "私はアイフォンを使っています/わたしはあいふぉんをつかっています." Of the two phrases, latter one is more common.
鉄拳男(てっけんおとこ)「どあっ！……うおおおおーっ！」
Tekken’otoko “Doa! ……Uooooooo!”
Iron fist guy
This giant guy, who appears just before the end of the fireworks party, is mentioned as the “鉄拳男（てっけんおとこ）: Iron fist guy,” but he’s actually the one who gets defeated by Yor’s relentless iron fists. I feel a bit sorry for him that we never find out anything else about him.
Matthew (Director) “In the event of your death or a wound too severe for a cover story to account for, I will tell Forger that you have been transferred.”
急な（きゅうな/Kyu-na）: sudden
転勤（てんきん/Tenkin）: transference, job relocation
決まった（きまった /Kimatta）: It was decided that～
I just wondered why they didn’t include the word “suddenly” in the translation. Either way, I wonder who in the world would believe such an unnatural lie, though…
Yor “Er, well, this was just how I dealt with them turning down our offer.”
失恋（しつれん/Shitsu’ren）: heartbreak, lost love, disappointed love
Decades ago in Japan, there was a strange rumor that “women who have experienced heartbreak tend to cut their hair short,” and if you suddenly changed from long hair to short hair, people around you would often ask, “Did you get dumped?” That’s why the word “失恋” suddenly came up here in Yor’s line.
Glasses “I’m not being ridiculous, though. This is a very serious business discussion. You’re just like us. You put food on your table by killing.”
飯の種にする（めしのたねにする/Meshi’no tane’ni suru）: a rough way of saying “make it one’s bread and butter” or “make a living from”.
同じ穴のムジナ（おなじあなのむじな/Onaji ana’no mujina）: (villains) of the same stripe, birds of a feather, badgers of the same hole
―――――――――――――――――
ヨル（あ…なんかユーリの走馬灯(そうまとう)が見(み)えます…）
Yoru (A… Nanka Yūri’no so-mato-ga mie’masu…)
Yor (Oh… I’m starting to see visions of Yuri.)
走馬灯（そうまとう/So-mato）: revolving lantern, life flashing before one’s eyes, recollection of past events, visions of one’s life
It is said that just before death, people experience flashbacks in which they recall past events one after another. Because this resembles a revolving lantern, these flashbacks are called 走馬灯（そうまとう）.
Yor “Apparently, in the far east, they wrap green onions around their necks!”
It seems to be a traditional folk remedy in Hokkaido (the northernmost area) in Japan, that components contained in green onions volatilize and enter the body through the nose and mouth, and helps to cure colds. I think it was probably done in times when medicine was unavailable.
Yuri “It works the best for me. It also tastes the most similar to what my sister would make for me.”
効く（きく/Kiku）: (medicines) work
――――――――――――――――――――
Did you notice the red and white origami-like ornament on the left side of Sword Wielder’s chest? That’s a Japanese “熨斗（のし/Noshi）,” an auspicious ornament attached to gifts for celebrations, not something you wear. We still don’t know the strength of the assassin “Glasses,” but Sword Wielder seems to be the strongest of all the assassins gathered here. Yor was in a tight spot because of her doubts and hesitation about fighting, but I’m glad her doubts were cleared.
第8話（通算第33話）『船上の交響曲（せんじょうのシンフォニー/Senjo-no Shinfonī）/姉のハーブティー(あねのはーぶてぃー/Ane‘no Hābutī)』 / Episode 8 (Ep.33): “THE SYMPHONY UPON THE SHIP / SIS’S HERB TEA”
The phrases in green are explained in my memo that will be posted later. (→ Link here )
The words in orange are just my translation, because I couldn’t find them in the English subtitles.
『MISSION 33: 船上(せんじょう)の交響曲(シンフォニー)/Misshon: Sanju-san Senjo-no Shinfonī/MISSION: 33 THE SYMPHONY UPON THE SHIP』
Onboard announcement “The fireworks will start soon. Please enjoy the glamorous show that will spread across the night sky. May this be a lovely memory for the last night of the cruise.”
Yor Forger “For now, let’s head to the third cargo room, where the rubber boats are stored. That’s where the director is. We’ll lower the boat from the emergency exit at the front of the second deck. Then, we’ll have the rendezvous ship retrieve you. If possible, we should do this during the fireworks.”
Glasses “Blue Lace No. 89 and Mermaid… They’re both famous perfumes. But the combination of those two scents, as well as the woman without a scent… One man, two women, and a baby. I’ve found you.”
――――――――――――――――――
アーニャ・フォージャー「アーニャ、はなびすき！」
Ānya Fōjā “Ānya, hanabi suki!”
Anya Forger “Anya loves fireworks!”
ロイド・フォージャー「そうか」
Roido Fōjā “So-ka.”
Loid Forger “Do you?”
少年「パパー！あっちも見(み)てみたい！」
Sho-nen “Papaaa! Acchi’mo mite’mitai!”
Boy “Papa! I wanna look over there, too!”
アーニャ「ひといっぱいでおそらみえない」
Ānya “Hito ippai’de osora mie’nai.”
Anya “There are too many people. I can’t see the sky.”
Yor (This way, too. All the routes to the bow have been blocked. Of course, I could defeat them and make my way through, but they might call for backup. They might also figure out where we’re going.)
Matthew (Director) “Well, I suppose that can’t be helped. They all seem to be proficient killers, including a number of outsiders with unique fighting styles we haven’t seen before. But… They are no match for us, the Garden. Having them all gathered in one spot will work in our favor. Let us finish them all off.”
Yor “Huh? Yes, I killed them. It was only natural. I’m terribly sorry. Those who point their blade at another cannot complain when they have one pointed at them. That includes myself.”
メガネ「マジメだね。まあいいさ。おかげで、報酬(ほうしゅう)の分(わ)け前(まえ)が増(ふ)えた」
Megane “Majime’dane. Maa ii’sa. Okage’de, ho-shu-no wake’mae’ga fueta.”
Glasses “You’re so earnest. Well, no matter. This just means I get a bigger cut of the money.”
Glasses “That’s not going to happen. We’ve already received a down payment, and it’s not like we can go home when we’re on a boat. I’m also pretty sure that old guy over there isn’t gonna let us leave.”
ヨル「睨(にら)んじゃダメです、部長(ぶちょう)さん！」
Yoru “Niran’ja dame’desu, Bucho-san!”
Yor “You shouldn’t glare at them like that, Director!”
Glasses “You’re old-fashioned, Mister Soldier. You should learn a thing or two from the West. Money is power. Everyone’s happy if we’re all rich, right?”
Matthew (Director) “In the event of your death or a wound too severe for a cover story to account for, I will tell Forger that you have been transferred.”
Yor “Don’t compare me to you! I’m―” (I’m doing this to support my family… wait. I guess I am also doing this for money. But… no, I make enough to survive now… I’m hunting down bad guys for my country! For my country? Have I always been so righteous? What am I doing this for?)
Yor (Oh, dear. He might actually kill me. What should I do? Now I won’t be able to get Loid’s shirts from the cleaners. I also won’t be able to return Miss Anya’s library books. Wait, what am I even saying? Why is this gentleman pointing a giant sword at me? My head hurts… I think I’m a bit tired.)
Yor (That’s right. The reason I started this job… and continued this job… Life had gotten so hectic that I had completely forgotten. Was it for money? For my country? It was, but it wasn’t. I just… I just wanted to protect his simple life. There are many unreasonable sacrifices in the world. To make sure I don’t add to them… To reduce that number by even one… I need to thoroughly cleanse this world. Things are not going to change. No… Now more than ever…)
Yor “Oh, I just accidentally made some bees mad, tee-hee. Oh, and I fought a boar. Let’s make you some hotpot! And I’ll make you some herbal tea right away!”
If you want to read the whole script of Ep.32, please click here.
The title of this episode: 『誰がための任務』 should be read as 『たがためのにんむ/Taga’tame’no Ninmu』. This is old way of saying 『誰のための任務/だれのためのにんむ/Dare’no tame’no Ninmu』. There is no question mark attached, but it means “Who is this mission for?”
Glasses “I guess I’ll plant someone there. Considering the ship’s route, they’re probably going to try to defect sometime tomorrow night or later. When that time comes, they’ll have no choice but to show themselves. Keep up the good work.”
否が応でも（いやがおうでも/Iya’ga o-demo）: whether one likes it or not, willy-nilly, have no choice but to…
The kanji “否” is normally read as “いな/Ina” or “ひ/Hi”, but in this phrase it’s read as “いや/Iya.”
Yor “No one followed us, and no wiretaps. Looks like we’ll be able to relax for a while. It looks like the director has prepared some food for us, as well. We should be able to hole up in here until the other boat arrives.”
籠城する（ろうじょうする/Ro-jo-suru）: barricade oneself in/inside, hole up (in), be besieged
――――――――――――――――――
グレイ「だって姐(あね)さん見(み)ました？あのゴツイ男(おとこ)ども！まじゴッツ！」
Gurei “Datte Ane-san mimashita? Ano gotsui otoko’domo! Maji gottsu!”
Grey “But did you see how built those guys were?! They’re not human!”
姐さん（あねさん/Ane-san）: a term of address used in the underworld, to refer to an older woman or women in leadership positions
姐さん can be read as “ねえさん/Neesan” too. When it’s pronounced “Neesan,” it’s used in everyday life, not in the underworld, and often refers to a reliable older woman. Even if it’s pronounced “Neesan,” the kanji “姉さん” is used for actual older sisters and normal older women.
Grey “Er, I mean… P-Please don’t underestimate me. I’m not so rotten that I’d forget everything the boss did for me. Right after the war, when there was nothing to eat… If it hadn’t been for the black market that the family ran, I would’ve starved to death.”
Loid (My name is Twilight. I am the best spy in Westalis. No matter the situation, even in the face of death, I’ve been trained to always keep my cool. My observation skills, decision-making skills, ability to respond to any situation… Each of those has been honed to its peak. That’s how I made my way in the world until today. But…)
Matthew (Director) “It’s probably back to square one. Don’t worry about it. You two didn’t do anything wrong. I will take care of the family. You two are free to do whatever you’d like today.”
ご破算（ごはさん/Gohasan）、ご破算にする: start from scratch, go back to square one, scrap the plan
(homonym) 破産、破産する（はさんする/Hasan’suru）: go bankrupt, go under, become insolvent, go broke
Glasses “All right. Sending this to everyone… Stand by at stage three positions and ambush them.”
待ち伏せる、待ち伏せする（まちぶせる/Machi’buseru、まちぶせする/Machi’buse’suru）: ambush, lie in wait, waylay
―――――――――――――――――――
Anya’s idea of making the other passengers believe Yor and Barnaby’s fight was a street performance was brilliant. The man playing Grey, called Zeb by Olka, noticed Olka trembling and deliberately acted weak to ease Olka’s tension. He’s a little unreliable, but it seems like he’ll be a supportive presence for Olka and her son after they have safely started a new life in another country.
