Beyond the Passage

Fujita travels to Paris to purchase art works. Meanwhile Sara finds an unsent letter in a frame at the gallery and travels to Paris to meet up with Fujita and deliver the letter. Sara's investigations overlap with Fujita's business dealings and they discover that the letter was written around Valentine’s day 20 years earlier by a man called The Clown, because of a birthmark on his cheek. It was addressed to a young woman whom he used to meet in a bar. They never spoke, just exchanged envelopes, but he was shot and killed before he could send the letter. Fujita and Sara find the woman and deliver the letter which she immediately destroys, not wanting to dwell in the past. However they find that the envelope also contained a beautiful ring and the woman bursts into tears. Later Fujita realizes that the stamp on the envelope which is now in ashes, was quite rare and valuable.
