Miss Sherlock - Ep 1 Scene 1

I’ve started “watching” Miss Sherlock with Japanese subtitles to learn Japanese and I’d like to start sharing my translation efforts here. It takes a long time to find the right Kanji and to have a first reading of each sentence and sometimes I don’t understand some grammar elements that are still beyond my knowledge at the moment, so hopefully you can help me with some doubts I might have along the way? 

So here we go.

Scene 1

Wato すみません　わざわざ迎えに来ていただいて

Sorry you came to pick me up.

わざわざ: bother? I’m not sure what to make of this.

Dr. Mizuno　おかえり 元気ぞうだな

Welcome back, you look well

Wato はい　先生も

Yes, you too.

Mizuno 無事でよかった　安心したよ

I’m not sure about the exact translation of this.  無事 ぶじ is “safe” and  安心 あんしん　is “relief”. 

So I’m guessing: It was a relief that you were safe. ?

Wato 手紙　ありがとうございました　何度救われたかわかりません

Thanks so much for the letters. I don’t know how many times I was saved by them.

I don’t understand 救われた. What’s the  われ ?  That’s a passive form!  thank you @changru

Mizuno そんな　大したことは書いてない

I don’t write such important things

Wato ホントです 私の心の栄養剤でした 　いっつも リュックに入れて持ち歩いてたんです

They really are!　They were my heart’s nutrient.　I carried them around inside my backpack all the time

*Mizuno’s stomach explodes and he drops dead in front of Wato*

Wato 先生　 先生 　失礼します　先生　 先生

Dr Mizuno！ Dr Mizuno！ excuse me... Dr Mizuno　 Dr Mizuno！

すいません　 ビニール袋ください　早く

Excuse me　a plastic bag please! Quick!
