was good for something.

"Visit the sick."

I can help you with that one.

Okay, just wait for me

over here.

I'm here for my

monthly check-up.

Who's your friend?

He's not my friend.

Thank you.

Pepper.

Come on.

He's not his friend.

Hi.

I was just visiting.

You can keep it.

Thanks, kid.

"Shelter the homeless."

Is that one-eared oaf

still working at the shop?

Teacup?

Yeah, he sleeps there.

Not quite a home, right?

What about London's vacant bed?

Hey, they fit.

I've never worn

one of these before.

It feels nice.

Then I guess

you can keep 'em, Teacup.

Next one.

"Clothe the naked."

Spider ladies.

They knit and bite all day.

Shouldn't you be somewhere,

playing with sticks

or something,

with your friends?

He has no friends.

You want these two

to be best friends.

Tight.

I think the baby's

gonna like it.

Thank you.

With Hashimoto's help,

I'd finish the list in no time.

And maybe he wasn't

so bad after all.

Things were looking up.

Good afternoon, Mrs. Busbee.

I took the liberty of stopping

by today because I...

I heard about

your husband and...

Get your hat off.

Mrs. Busbee,

I want you to know if you need anything,

you can count on me.

Thank you, Dr. Fox.

Yeah.

Boy, it smells good in here.

Is that a casserole I smell?

It is.

Yeah, I thought I could...

Would you like to join us?

Yeah.

Seems Dr. Fox always

gets what he wants.

Dr. Fox?

This is great.

Thank you so much.

Here we go.

Emma, Freddy and I haven't

eaten like this since,

well, Clarice passed.

Um...

Thank you for

getting me out of jail.

No trouble at all, son.

I would do anything

for your mother.

That's my dad's seat, you know.

I can see why.

Best view in the house.

May I be excused?

Yes, you may.

Hey!

What are you doing...

I heard about your

stupid magic list.

And if you want it back,

you're gonna have to get it from me.

But that was the list,

the ancient list.

I need that one.

If you need it so bad,

take it back from him.

How?

He's bigger than me.

Everybody's bigger than me.

Okay, stand up.

Let's see how small you are.

You're right.

Very, very small boy, indeed.

Toothpick arms, cricket legs.

Size of Masao Kume.

Who's Masao...

Kume.

- Samurai.

- What's that?

You don't know

what a samurai is?

These are samurai,

Japanese warriors.

What one's Masao Kume?

This is Masao Kume.

He doesn't look like a warrior.

He wasn't.

Not yet.

Masao Kume was small.

Powerless.

Nothing but a servant.

But in every man's life,

there comes a day of truth,

and that day came when the

Mongols invaded Japan.

Who are the Mongols?

Samurai tried

to defend their land.

But the Mongols,
