I promise it won't be long.
I'II see you soon.
Let's go.
Tokyo Bay has passed the danger level.
The seafront breakwaters could fail at any time.
Water Gates 6 and 7 will thus be opened tomorrow at 6 a. M...
...and this area will flood.
Please leave the area.
Um...
...I've got an offer to go and work in England.
Oh?
When are you going?
I'm not sure.
Before all the airports are closed.
Oh.
Come with me.
I want you to come with me.
Just like that?
They got me tickets for you and Misaki, too.
You, me, and Misaki. I want us to be together.
I have to go back to the rescue squad.
There's a lot of kids like Misaki still waiting for help.
I want to save them, if it's the last thing I do.
But Japan's going to sink.
I know how you feel but there's no time.
If we don't get out now, we'II be abandoned here.
They say five years, but...
What?
Nothing.
Anyway, I really want to save you and Misaki.
And leave Aunt Tamae and the rest?
I don't want to. But brave words won't help.
It's not just words!
I...
I can't be happy if they're not.

Neither North nor South Korea will allow private vessels to land.
All aboard unauthorized vessels will be treated as illegal immigrants.
Aizu Region, Fukushima Pref.
This area remains undamaged.
Warnings have also been issued for the Aizu region.
It is to be evacuated by the 15th.
This is our yeast.
With this, you can brew our sake anywhere in the world.
All the best.
Let's go.
You take care!
I'm sorry.
I didn't follow Dad into the business, so now it's all on your shoulders.
If you'd taken it over, we'd've gone broke years ago.
What's this new job, then?
Studying ancient forms of sea life.
The ocean's like a time machine.
The deeper you go, the further back in time you get.
Oh?
If only you could go deep enough to bring your father back...
You miss him?
Of course!
You two were still small...
...and it was busy and it was hard...
...but those were the days I enjoyed most.
Do you remember when those fledglings fell out of that swallow's nest?
Yeah.
Then you fell going up the ladder to help them...
What a day that was!
It's still there...
It's been empty for two or three years now.
I've decided I'm going to stay here.
What?! This place is going to sink!
All my family memories are scattered through this brewery.
Of your father, too. The place is steeped in them.
I want to be with your father till the very end.
That's crazy.
What?
Some things mean more than life.
Like loving someone.
Chofu Airport, Tokyo
Careful!
Ow!
That hurts!
Stop it!
This way, Minister.
All right?
Don't push!
Get back!
Places willing to accept the Japanese, like America, China, and the EU...
...are struggling to cope with the flood of refugees.
However, many in these nations are concerned over the influx.
Even our multinationals' stocks are going through the floor!
It seems America's started selling yen and our bonds.
They promised us a year!
We've been cut loose, haven't we.
Evacuation Committee reporting.
Komatsu and Hiroshima report volcanic ash over danger levels.
And?
No more flights will be possible in that region.

Toshio!
Misaki!
Mr Onodera!
Look!
Cabbages!
Cabbages?
And tomatoes!
Cabbage!
Great!
Here goes!
This is good!
Great, huh?
Here.
Mr Onodera's father made this.
Savor it.
It's great!
Thank you.
But you're lucky. You're going to England.
Well...
It looks like we're not going anywhere.
Why not?
Well, they got us all together...
...to wait our turn for a plane...
...but now they're moving us to higher ground, they say.
They're abandoning us.
So you're just going to go off and die, then?
If the whole place erupts, does it matter where we are?
We'II cook monja pancakes on the lava!
Great idea!
Reiko told me.
So you asked her to go with you...
Yes.
Thank you.
But she said no.
She was real happy.
She likes you a lot.
But men and women... it's complicated.
Those guys gulp this stuff down like it was cheap sake.
That'II do.
Is this you?
Where?
Yes!
Look how young I am!
The girl beside me...
...is my younger sister, Reiko's mother.
And that's your father?
The fireman...
Reiko told you that?
Yes.
It's not true.
Reiko never knew him.
He was dead when she was born.
When Reiko came to us from Kobe...
...she was a lot like Misaki now.
The kids teased her at school...
So I told her to tell them, My Grandpa was a fireman!'
That way the other kids would leave her alone.
It all started with a lie I told.
Then before I knew it...
...she'd turned him into a genuine hero.
D1 reports...
...multi-centered earthquakes in Shizuoka, Nagano, and Niigata!
Magnitude 7... 7.4...
...still rising!
Tokyo, scale 6!
It's coming!
Switching to generator.
OK?
This is Fuji Observation Post. Tremors increasing!
Eruption imminent.
It's happening too fast for us.
The Fossa Magna's shifting. That's the country's backbone.
If Mt Fuji blows, it'II tear the main island in two...
...and we'II start sinking.
Minato and Chiyoda wards are sinking faster.
We're not safe here.
Have the Imperial Household Agency get the Emperor out.
We'II move to our back-up facility.

Yep.

Excuse me...
JOIDES Resolution reports Drill Line 3 complete.
Explosives in place?
It's taking time to repair Pits 18 to 26 after yesterday's quake.
We don't have time! Hurry them up.
This is Operations Control. Feed repair status to our monitors.
How's the 6500?
Yuki here.
Ready to dive.
Dr Tadokoro.
It's me.
The shafts and the explosives are all in place.
Now all we have to do is put the N2 igniter in place.
Evacuate the post! Get everyone out!
Without a miracle...
...Mt Fuji's going to blow sky-high.
Speed's up from 1.6 to 2 knots.
Yuki, are you OK?
The current's getting faster.
I can handle this speed. I'II finish this and be right back up.
This is Wadatsumi 6500. Depth 3,750 meters.
I'm at ignition point.
There's a lot of debris spewing up out of the trench.
Be careful.
Roger.
Tidal current gaining strength!
Water density 1.053!
A density current!
Hey! Yuki!
The igniter's broken free.
That's all we've got. Can you reach it?
I see it, 50 meters away. Moving to recover.
Yuki? Do you read me?
Doctor?
Propulsion system down!
Yuki!
Hey! Yuki!
Yuki left these.
Give them to his family.
I can't give them his ashes.
I sent him into that current.
It's my fault.
So what about your plan?
It sank with Yuki.
It's all over.
And Japan? What about the people still here?
Just a little bit longer.
Tera-chan...
It's not far. Keep going.
Keep going.
Keep going, everybody!
It's just past that next rise!
Keep going!
What happened?!
The damn road's cracked!
What's wrong?
It won't move.
Here we go...
Heave!
Thank you!
Thank you.
OK, now, push!
Here goes!
Run! Quick!
Hurry!
Misaki!
Don't let go!
Hang on tight!
Misaki!
Are you all right?!
Misaki!
Come on!
Quick!
Hurry!

Tomorrow...
...I leave for England.
Oh.
So I really wanted to see you.
Thank you.
All this way, just for me.
Well done.
I may never see you again. What do you mean, 'well done'?
You always just shut me down.
If you don't like me, say so.
I do like you!
Of course I do!
I'm glad you came.
I just don't know what it is I should say!
My mind...
...is made up.
In grade school...
...my father...
...my mother...
...and all my friends got killed.
So I made up my mind.
I decided I'd never love anyone again.
Then...
...I'd never be so sad again.
But...
...then I fell in love with you.
I don't know what to do!
Sorry.
Promise me something.
What?
I swear I'II come to England with Misaki.
Wait for me till then.
Sure.
I'II wait.
Thank you.
Onodera...
Make love to me.
Right now I can't.
Why not?
We just promised, didn't we?
You said you'd save Misaki and your aunt...
...and come to England.
Then we'II be happy.
I want that.
I owe you an apology.
My going to England is a lie.
I've decided not to go.
Doctor... I'II take this boat down to the ignition point.
Don't be stupid.
A boat this old won't make it.
It only goes down 2,000 meters.
Just as you risk your life for your mission...
...I have found a mission of my own.
To help you save every life you possibly can...
...I will go into the sea.
I've only ever done what I wanted to.
Now I realize there is something I must do.
If you go down there, you'II never come back.
I know that.
Then why?
This...
Give it to Yuki's family.
It was only for a short time, but with you I've been happy.
It'II take more than a miracle for this to work.
I can't kill you, too.
I won't allow it.
Now...
...I know exactly how Yuki felt.
I've got someone to protect, too.
I'II bring about...
...a miracle.
I believe...
...one day you and Misaki will be happy.
Live...
...and promise me you will.
I'm glad I met you.
Thank you.
Damn it!
For some reason dreams never last
The morning breeze steals them away
Love suddenly becomes a struggle
All the places words go...
...are all closed in.
Unbreakable...
...is this desire.
This love words can't express...
I have to fight so hard...
...to keep it inside.
I want to protect it...
...and not lose my way (I can't lose my way)
Till my heart stops beating
These lives we've found...
...echo together beyond time
And even if tears should fall...
...I want to be held, and forever...
It's right here.
There's the drill-shaft.
You pick up the N2 igniter, and you drop it in.
The instant you do that, the fuse lights.
That's it.
And then...
...it's all over.
4.5... 3.2... full ascent, full reverse.
Data transmitter on.
Manual propulsion mode, radio contact confirmed.
Trim tanks set for submerge.
Sonar operating.

Wadatsumi 2000...
Present depth: 3,802 meters.
Damage report?
Air-flow control lost.
Guess it couldn't take the pressure.
Doctor...
...the igniter's dead ahead.
Setting controls to commence recovery.
Onodera!
Let's get out of here!
Doctor!
Losing main power. Switching to emergency.
Where's the N2?
It'II be fine.
Doctor...
...I've got enough in main power to move the manipulator...
...for 15 seconds.
What can you do in only 15 seconds?!
I'II only have the one chance.
Let me do it.
I believe in your miracles, Doctor.
Do it.
Releasing...
...ballast!
4.5...
3.2...
Trim down, releasing air.
Descending!
Pits 13 to 21 all circuits operational.
Pits 1 to 7: Circuits lit.
Pits 22 to 30 ignition confirmed.
Ignition, all circuits.

We should put out a statement.
Yes.
Have Acting Prime Minister Nozaki fly back right away.
No.
You should make the announcement.
No one but you.
Observations indicate...
...the movement of tectonic plates dragging our nation under the sea...
...is coming to an end.
This unprecedented disaster has taken many, many lives.
With all our hearts we pray for those whose lives have been lost...
...and for all those bereaved.
We, the people of Japan...
...must stand the test of this ordeal, and unite in heart and soul...
...in joining to rebuild Japan.
Those evacuated abroad...
...will soon be able...
...to return home.
Finally...
...to save Japan from sinking into the sea...
...two submarine pilots have given their lives.
Toshio Onodera...
Tatsuya Yuki...
To both...
...we give our deepest expressions of thanks...
...and of sorrow.
Misaki!
Reiko!
Um...
Reiko... thank you!
