11

During her Golden Week vacation, Yuriko leaves Daniel O'Connell to look after Keaton, who is in the hospital with a broken left leg. In Piccadilly Circus, Yuriko encounters an elderly Japanese woman named Sachiko Shiatori, whose handbag was snatched by a luggage thief. Unfortunately, the handbag contained a gift for a long-lost friend of Sachiko. Identifying the luggage thief as Olaf Helmer, a detective in the Scotland Yard says that there needs to be concrete evidence before making a move. Yuriko learns that it has been fifty years since Sachiko saw her lost-long friend, revealed as a British university entomology professor from Marlow named Paul Wilkins, who first met Sachiko after fainting in the street behind her family's wholesale textile business and stayed a week in her guest house to recover while thinking about the koinobori on display. Yuriko and Sachiko encounter and follow Helmer to a harbor shed, working together to defeat him and get back the handbag. While traveling by train to Marlow, Sachiko explains that Paul wrote several letters to her before and after the war, but her father thought Paul was a spy and disposed of the letters. They are unable to find Paul once reaching Marlow, but Yuriko decides to hang the gift, revealed as a carp streamer, on a clock tower. Gladly, Sachiko is fetched to reunite with Paul, who saw the carp streamer from his hospital window. Sachiko tells Yuriko that she has decided to live in Marlow and stay with Paul. (Source: Wikipedia)
