You wouldn't understand.
Running from bill collectors...
hiding my family in the mountains...
This is my last chance right here.
The hard-fought key to a last-minute victory.
You were hiding something!
Give it back!
We'll share this.
You mind?
I'm sorry...
I wasn't trying to hide it...
No use denying it now.
We're all just trying to save our own skin.
Even Mr. "Real-Deal" back there...
If I hadn't done that we'd all be dead.
Really? Maybe you could've saved one or two.
Your turn.
I'll check on the girl.
Why did you quit rescue work?
None of your business.
Here he is.
Yuji, check our escape route.
Pull back, pull back.
Kazano... Kazano!
Chief!
Chief.
Take care of that guy.
Got it.
Kazano, are you okay?
Pull yourself together...
Chief.
Fool, what are you doing?
- You'll never move him. - Let me go!
It may explode any time.
Shizuma, please!
Yuji, you go...
I'm staying here.
Yuji... go.
Kazano...
Last respects!
Salute!
At ease.
What?
So, how is she?
You're a doctor, right?
No way!
Only a trainee...
And not keen on playing doctor.
You must be a qualified medic, right?
Please, look her over.
"Abdominal defense"... maybe internal bleeding.
What should we do?
Forget it. We could never do a transfusion.
A transfusion?
No gear, no disinfectant, nothing.
No way you're cannibalizing "Mr. Bubbles".
Are you nuts? This isn't a comic.
Incompatability, infection... the risks are too high.
But it might work?
I'm not doing it.
Why not?
If she dies, it's my fault, right?
Is it possible or not?
I'll be to blame. I know how it'll turn out.
Should anything happen...
we'll all testify it was at our request, I swear.
If we do nothing, she'll die.
I don't believe a word you say.
I don't think we'll be rescued. We're all going to die.
Pull yourself together! We'll live.
Nobody will die.
Mister...
Help her...
Please...
Look, it's just impossible!
You know we need anti-coagulant at the very least.
Without that, it'll kill her.
There's EDTA.
Why do you have that?
It's a water-softener, too.
We can do it, right?
What's your blood type?
B.
Like me.
You should drink.
My Dad was a doctor.
General practice... a good internist.
Nights, holidays... he'd never turn anyone away.
Past tense... he's retired?
He was sued.
Sued?
Dad treated this guy then advised him to go to hospital.
But he didn't bother.
Then when he died, the family sued.
It's in litigation now.
He's insured for medical malpractice so it's no big deal.
Even if you lose a civil case you keep your license
and can always find another practice.
But for my Dad...
the shock of being sued
just sent him into depression.
Murderer!
Seeing him so pitiable, put me off being a doctor.
There's just no way.
Don't worry, I won't die.
I'll spare you the trouble.
I'm going to survive.
My kid brother's about your age.
He just got out of the army.
He was getting married this year.
That's nice.
He always worked so hard...
'cause we were a poor family.
But then...
Today, I found out he just died in a car crash.
He was a naughty kid,
...always fighting with everyone.
When you're dead, everthing's over.
Just when he was about to find happiness.
I hope we're rescued.
No... we've got to be rescued. All of us.
Here you are.
Thank you.
Why won't you help?
You're abandoning Shiori?
Brother.
Your own brother may be down there.
I'm right, huh? Yet don't you care?
Let's go back inside.
Abandoning them?
Let me go!
I was so relieved when Yuji quit that job.
Putting himself in danger to save others...
like it was second nature seemed so odd to me.
But now I get it.
For the families, you are the only hope.
Shiori...
Is that what our job's all about?
We're ordered to stand-by. Don't get upset.
I'm not.
I just can't accept prioritizing our safety over victims' lives.
It's not our duty to waste our lives, though...
But...
But risking our lives is.
What was that?
What's your problem?
Stop it.
I'm proud of this work.
If I die, it's all over.
And I'm saying, now's the time to get to work and save lives!
'Cause you don't have a family.
Would you die leaving a wife and kids?
Well, would you say the same if your family was trapped?
You differentiate between family and civilians?
That's enough of your bullshit.
We stand-by as ordered.
Yuji...
You're Yuji's only family... He did the right thing.
We're in trouble!
Water's coming out everywhere.
Look, there and over there...
The ground's waterlogged.
No way!
Run to the train.
Shiori.
Shiori...
Please get up.
Shiori...
Shiori, no. Come back!
Little Shiori...
Shiori.
Blow your whistle, darling!
Blow it, please!
Watch out. Get back.
Why take Shiori?
Kill me instead!
I'll give my own life.
Get a grip, c'mon.
I'm a murderer...
I left my buddy to save my brother.
Yumi...
I'm sorry.
It's...
It's my fault.
It's my fault, all of it!
Stop it.
Don't assume she's dead.
You might be wrong.
I shouldn't have saved my brother.
What do you mean?
I always looked up to him.
Followed him into rescue work.
I wish I never had.
That's the rescue we're now waiting for!
Two...
Five...
It's 252, isn't it?
She watched us do it...
Clever girl! See, she's alive.
He took the acoustic search gear.
Where are you going?
To let people know we're here.
Right, we mustn't give up.
Chief, Shinohara?
What the hell are you doing?
There's an acoustic response... a banging sound.
Two taps...
Five taps...
Two taps...
2,5,2.
A code 252.
No doubt about it.
It's Yuji.
We have survivors!
The signal appears to be from the old Shimbashi station.
The disused one? Under the freeway?
There is an access route.
But the entrance is blocked.
Maybe with lifting gear...
I'm pulling back.
Aoki, are you okay?
Aoki, answer me.
I'm okay.
However...
the entranceway
has completely collapsed.
It's dangerous. I'm ordering you out.
Copy.
How are things there?
Barely holding together, I think.
It's starting to disintegrate already.
The whole thing'll come down in about an hour or so.
Commander, I have a request.
What is it?
Allow me to open up a route directly above it.
- No way! - You couldn't cut through in time.
Permit me to use explosives.
No way.
Out of the question in a water-logged, post quake state.
There's no time to debate.
Even if you did open it up...
the chance of saving people safely is so slim.
That's why we use explosives.
I'm not debating method, I'm saying it's not safe!
- It's not impossible. - Practically.
- You're wrong! - Silence!
A successful rescue means everyone comes back alive.
You should know that more than anyone.
But I want to save him...
...my brother.
It's him...
calling us for help.
After blasting, I'll go in alone.
We cannot allow the loss of a single man.
I understand but I refuse.
You're saying I let him die?
Can't you save time by using a helicopter?
Umino, are you crazy? We're forecasters, don't forget.
I know that.
Then calm down.
I can't.
I appreciate the need to stop him
but I don't want him to regret it.
He should do his utmost. His job entails risking everything.
Umino! I know.
Please don't raise your voice.
We can't fly in this wind.
It'll stop soon.
We'll be in the eye of the storm.
Can you calculate exactly when and how long
we'll be inside it?
Yes.
Commander.
Let us do it.
Knowing Yuji,
he's gathered other survivors with him.
Even if the chances are slim,
we can't abandon those calling out for help.
Please let us go.
Please.
Please let us go.
Okay...
I take responsibility.
Shut up.
As commander, that's my role.
Hold on.
Since the ground's so soft
we shouldn't go beyond 3 meters.
And considering the people underground
we place 3 separate charges.
No time for that.
We just do one.
But, that...
My brother is ex-rescue squad.
He'll guide any other survivors to a safe spot.
I reckon this is where we blow it.
The weather satellite updates every 30 minutes.
If we know the eye's course, speed and diameter
we can estimate the time the wind will die.
Commander, they've chosen the spot
now they load the explosives.
You said "estimate".
How accurate is it?
If I had more real-time data...
Use the weather radar data.
It's no good.
The wind knocked it out.
The reserve satellite kicked in at last.
Shiori, take heart!
We won't let you die.
We won't allow it.
Yutaka,
Ryoko,
Koichi...
Masayuki,
Maiko,
Hiroyuki...
Quiet.
Quiet!
They heard us.
How much longer?
Lt'll take 5 minutes.
5 more minutes.
They heard us, guys!
That's the signal?
They'll blast the roof
then open up a route.
What a idiat...
But what about Shiori...
We enter the eye at 7:14 and leave at 7:32.
The wind stops for only 18 minutes.
18 minutes...
If the rescue isn't done in that time
it'll be hit by a massive storm.
The sub-soil is soaked
and won't tolerate any more.
We'll risk everything on those 18 minutes.
You all remain...
When the team's in place,
we go in together.
Yes.
Almost there.
Two...
Your nail...
Entry support team all in place.
Magpie here, ready for take-off.
Team 8, ready to go.
Okay,
copy.
Well done, kid.
There it is.
Stand by!
Detonate!
Prepare for descent.
Yes.
It's falling!
Yuji!
Brother!
Brother?
Take the girl first. Abdominal hemorrhage. Blood type B.
Thank god...
I'm on target!
Buddy, one injured female, fully conscious, needing stretcher.
Yes.
Get a stretcher.
Yes.
Take Shiori, first.
Thank you.
Brother,
I got separated from Yumi.
She's fine.
Really...
I'm coming up.
Shiori...
From Daddy.
For my birthday.
I'll sell a million "Mr. Bubbles" and blow it all at your bar.
I'll be away for my brother's funeral.
What did you say?
It's a very expensive place.
OK.
Hurry.
Copy.
Saved after all, huh?
Why not try to become a doctor?
What?
You know how important life is.
Thanks to you,
my hands are all messed up.
Harness on, please.
No.
No, you must go first.
I'll go last.
Jerk. Don't be a damn hero.
The wind's changed direction.
The storm may return early.
What?
Get that winch up!
When did you last see each other?
Not since he quit.
Extracting a civilian last...
disqualifies me, too.
That's not a mistake.
Not now, nor back then did you guys ever
do a single thing wrong.
Besides, Yuji's not a civilian.
Yuji...
Did you get over it?
No, not yet...
Pull them up!
Tell them to hurry.
Pull out, everyone.
Aoki!
Chief!
Halt the rescue. Withdraw!
Chief!
Pull out.
Chief!
No!
Chief!
Quiet everyone.
Hold the work.
A response on Sirius!
Gather up!
Yes.
Right here.
Okay,
let's re-start the search.
Yes.
Chief.
- Chief. - He's alive.
Chief.
Shinohara!
Chief.
Get him out of here.
Yes.
Head ready!
Where's my Dad?
Thank you very much.
Ms. Umino, right?
I'm grateful for your cooperation.
Papa...
Code 252...
We have survivors!
Yuji...
1... 2...
Okay, your reward?
So close.
Come on.
Almost there.
Good job.
Switch out, do it again!
Come on.
Yes.
Climbing a tree drunk, is not seemly behavior.
Plus, you fell from it.
Why didn't you bastards help me?
Our duty is to civilians not jerks like you.
We'll wait here for rescue.
When the hell will it come?
We go in through the right.
Chief!
Let's be strong 'til help comes.
For the families, you're the only hope.
They heard us!
1... 2...
1... 2... 3... 4...
Count!
