Episode 1: The Assignment – Santa Lemusa

In Buddhism the kaki is a symbol for transformation: in the same manner that a green and bitter persimmon turns into a sweet fruit when it ripens fully, an ignorant person can attain wisdom with the passage of time.

Music: «Mannix» by Lalo Schifrin, played by Billy May & Orchestra. Title music from the American crime series of the same name (1967-1975, 194 episodes).
