There's no way I'm gonna die here!
RYOKO!
That's a death certificate.
Kazama is no longer among the living.
That's a lie!
Wings of the Wind
Kazama! Are you okay?
I'm fine.
This will result in removal costs for the aircraft.
A small sum,
but he'll have to acquire a new aircraft in order to pay it.
Shin!
To the barracks?
Please.
Isn't that dangerous?
He's a traitor!
You're wrong.
What are you doing?
Are you okay?
Thank you.
What on earth have you done? He's one of us!
One of us?!
This guy came all the way to the ends of the Earth to take a picture of Shin's dead face!
Is that true?
Please believe me.
It was true at first, but now...
Still making excuses?
Cut it out, would you?
This kind of thing really burns me up.
Cut it out!
Go ahead, hit him!
That's right, do it!
Let him go.
You've done enough already. Just let him go.
This guy's a dirty rotten liar!
It's the sound.
The sound of his shutter clicking changed.
He's changed too.
Look carefully at the pictures this guy took.
See whether a traitor took them or not.
Kim! You help too!
Right!
We'll take him to the infirmary. Get him to the car.
Right...
Can I come in for a bit?
I got worked over pretty extravagantly.
Can I sit down here?
Thanks for saving me.
Hey, aren't you gonna ask who hired me?
You know without even asking, is that it?
I tried to tell you before your sortie, but...
You know, my hero used to be Capa.
Do you know him? Robert Capa?
He was a war photographer during World War I l.
There was truth to the pictures he took.
I got it in my head that I was gonna take pictures like that too.
I worked hard at part-time jobs and bought this thing.
I n my first war zone, I frantically clicked the shutter even while I was wetting myself.
But still, somewhere along the way I ended up like this.
I fell for the money, and even accepted a commission
to photograph the dead face of a man named Shin Kazama at Area 88.
At first, I thought it would be simple.
But then I saw your eyes and realized I was wrong.
Your eyes are filled with the confidence to survive.
They know a great many deep sorrows,
and they gaze tenderly at someplace far away.
Why does he survive? Why does he fight? Why does he have faith?
I started wanting to take shots of my subject's face as he survived.
Have you quit already?
It's going to start again.
Yeah...
Well, I owe you one now.
I'm a journalist, if not much of one.
It's my role to relate the truth.
Kanzaki intends to marry Ryoko.
It can't be!
At least, that's what he was saying.
Sorry to have bothered you.
McCoy...
Shin, what are you doing out here in the middle of the night?
Do you have an aircraft I can get my hands on right away?
One that's light and has a long range, if possible.
If that's what you want, I've got another of the same Tiger I l in stock.
It's John's order, but hey, I can just make him wait.
Also, 300 rounds of 20mm and all the spare tanks and fuel it can hold.
What about Sidewinders?
I've got secondhand ones for cheap.
No, that's okay.
All right.
What's the aircraft's stall number?
It's #1 5 North.
I want it in thirty minutes.
Hey, Shin.
Could it be that you're after the one thing my shop can't sell?
Thanks for your patronage.
Sorry about your pictures.
Try to understand everyone's feelings a little, okay?
They thought you were on our side, and you betrayed them...
Some even say that an expulsion order is too lenient.
I know, Kim.
I was threatened by old Roundell.
He said if I went public with anything about this base,
he couldn't guarantee my continued survival.
We're leaving!
Okay!
See you!
Shinjou, you take care too.
Shinjou!
Huh?
I got this from before.
I hope it's not broken.
Thanks!
Kitri...
Will you tell Shin something for me?
So long, Area 88.
He's gone.
All right, then! That ends the send-off for that stupid guy.
Back to work! Work!
He's going!
Are those damn things still up there?
Tear 'em down!
The guy who double-crossed us took those!
I'd like to send this one to my family.
You've actually got a family?
They're all long dead.
I'm just saying it's a good picture.
Scramble!
Kazama has attempted to desert.
What did he say?!
Those not otherwise engaged, take off immediately and capture this individual.
Even if they fire up the engines right now,
they'll still be tens of kilometers behind Kazama, Sir.
How far can they pursue him in fully-equipped heavy fighters?
Commander! Allow me to go, please.
Can you leave immediately?
Yes, Sir. I was about to go out on recon-in-force.
Then I'm changing your orders. You are to pursue Kazama immediately.
Roger that, Sir.
Shin... Are you really dead?
Double-Echo, say again. What happened with Kazama?
Kazama? What happened with Shin?
They say he deserted.
Deserted?!
So Kazama's a fool too.
He'll either be shot down by his comrades,
or supposing he actually manages to escape, he'll be hounded by killers for the rest of his life.
Please, go back to the Area!
If you go back there, you'll be facing a firing squad.
His life is at stake!
You're interfering with our flying. Back off, Shinjou!
Take me back! Please, take me back!
Stop it, Shinjou!
Take me back! I'm begging you!
Let go!
Shin, go back.
If you don't, this time I'll really hit you.
I'm allowed to shoot down a deserting aircraft, you know.
Are you really going to do this? Fine!
I heard from Shinjou.
You're an idiot, you know that?
If you'd just left me, you could've been back in Japan by now.
Are you thinking I'll just let you go because of that?!
Are you running away?
Are you saying I'm not worth fighting?
You're mocking me.
Mocking me...
Mocking me!
MOCKl NG ME!
That's enough, Princess.
Thanks for holding Shin back for us.
Shin, you've gotten it out of your system by now, right?
Let's go home.
All Area 88 aircraft, this is Double-Echo.
A train has left the platform.
Repeat, a train has left the platform.
Closing rapidly from 1 2 o'clock. I ntercept this train.
Hostiles coming from straight ahead, huh?
Shin! You heard that, right? Hostiles!
Attention all aircraft.
If intent to return is not indicated by the time he reaches the military line of demarcation,
you are to shoot Kazama down.
We will award a bounty of $200,000 to the one who does so.
$200,000?
The bounty's $200, 000!
Shin...
Shin, don't make me fire on you.
You can't escape us.
Shin!
Shin, wasn't there anything more to all those battles where you risked your life?
Are you going to just throw it away over something like this?
This is the life that you've fought for and won!
We're fighting every day in a war zone where lives can vanish with a single bullet.
Isn't that the very reason you know the agony and splendor of surviving?
Wasn't it for the sake of going home to Japan
that you've stayed alive through such bitter experiences?
That's right! Live through this, and go home to your country!
And then, embrace the person who's waiting for you.
Mickey, it's 60 kilometers to the military demarcation line.
Three minutes until they encounter the enemy.
Twenty kilometers...
Shin...
Shinjou said to tell you something for him.
He said, "I'm going back to Japan..."
"And I'm going to tell her."
Kitri, break away from him!
Ten kilometers...
SHl N!
Wait!
Mickey! Shin intends to fight!
I'll angle in from the west and box the enemy in.
And I'll be his backup.
That's my job!
Kazama has jettisoned his spare tanks.
We've confirmed that he has no intention of fleeing.
We are proceeding to engage the enemy.
All right!
Yeah! All right!
All right you bastards, follow Shin!
My Sidewinders were rarin' to go too!
The enemy never imagined that virtually all our forces would be in the air already.
They're engaging the enemy.
I nstruct the lightly-armed Kazama to make for west division point 5A at once.
Understood.
Do you suppose that Kazama will be able to continue fighting after this is over?
He's one of Area 88's Etrangers.
No path is open to him besides that which leads to battle.
Try something like that again and we'll leave you in the desert!
Just try to put me down there.
You take that much of a beating and you still won't shut your mouth?
What's that?!
Where's that idiot of a pilot from?!
It's Shin!
I can tell even without the emblem. It's Shin Kazama!
I'll load these shots with your feelings. Just you watch!
The bride looks unhappy.
Who are you?
I'm just a photographer.
Shin...
I'm glad you picked up on that for me.
Shin's alive, then?
Yes...
But Kanzaki said that he died!
You can't believe the things a guy like him says.
Shin is keeping himself alive... So that he can see you.
Thank you!
I'm the one who needs to thank you.
I didn't understand it...
Why Shin accepted all the misery that befell him and kept on living.
I'm glad I got to meet you.
Ryoko, is something the matter? Everybody is waiting.
It's Kanzaki.
I'll be out in a moment.
Please keep everyone occupied for just a little longer.
Please make it as quick as possible, will you?
All right!
Shouldn't you change out of that?
No...
This is my outfit for marrying Shin.
Burned out completely by the unforgiving sun
She's strong, Burned out completely by the unforgiving sun
She's strong,
Alone with an empty night sky
so strong it's almost blinding. Alone with an empty night sky
Shin, you're flying, aren't you? Alone with an empty night sky
Shin, you're flying, aren't you? Staring at the stars
Shin, you're flying, aren't you?
And far away, faintly, a soft melody
Somewhere in this sky? And far away, faintly, a soft melody
Touches the past too strongly to remember here
Now turn to face away from warm memories
Battlefield dance
Let your eyes close instead
To play on the evanescent dream, ooh
Kindness will not ever be necessary here
In the dark black night
Moonlight will shine through
Shin! Moonlight will shine through
Shin!
Area 88 Headquarters.
A formation of anti-government forces is moving northward from southern division point 3B.
This is Shin Kazama, zero-zero section.
