This is our new member who's starting today, Shinoda Kaori-san.
- I'm Shinoda. - She's an extremely unusual case,
coming to traffic control from ground.
It's not an air traffic controller's job to worry about cost.
We're working on the same simulation until you get it right.
Inter-Asia's coming onto Runway C.
Weren't you watching?
Humans are bound to make mistakes. But the important thing is
how we go about creating an environment where team member back up each other.
Japan Air with medical emergency and
Pan Pacific with engine trouble will be diverted here.
Surely you're not letting her handle it.
Cut out the bullshit and back us up.
Mistakes made on site can only be made up on site.
Yuuki-san, let me change the runway to 34L.
- I think I'll buy an onigiri. - Onigiri?
Tarako.
Fly away. Right? Happy birds.
They look good, don't they? Fluttering away.
- What's the matter? - Hm? Nothing.
Hey. Hey. Huh? Man? Why?
Snack for your hard work. Enjoy. Shinoda
What? It's that high?
Unfortunately, yes. He doesn't look well at all.
Can you take him to the hospital?
- Can't you get off early? - Sorry.
Even if I take him to the hospital,
it's not where he's used to going. Will he be okay?
If it's the municipal hospital by the station, he's been there before so
- he should be fine there. - Seriously.
For a child not to have his mother beside him at a time like this.
Don't you feel bad for him?
Dacchi.
- Don't scare me like that. - I have to get to work.
Oh... wait a minute.
- I need to ask you a few things. - I'll call you on my break.
Hello? Hey...
Shinoda-san.
Come with me.
Are we going to the Terminal Radar Room?
Yes. I was asked to fill a sudden vacancy.
Come with me and observe.
The OJT needs to be done concurrently too anyway.
Pay attention.
- They call you Dacchi, huh? - Yes. What do they call you?
Takechan-man. (variety show character played by "Beat" Takeshi)
Just in private.
- I won't let them at work. - Of course not.
Takeuchi-san, you have a child, don't you?
- Why? - I saw pictures in your locker.
- Did you open my locker? - It was opened.
- Wait here. - I already closed it.
I'll go put away my cell phone.
Your son is adorable.
He's none of your business.
As you probably already know, this is
a very critical place that handles aircraft
coming in and out of the Tower's control zone.
- Japan Air 1321, contact Departure. - Japan Air 1321, roger. Contact Departure.
Tokyo Departure. Japan Air 1321.
Passing 1,500.
Japan Air 1321. Tokyo Departure. Radar Contact.
- Yama-yan, I'll take over. - Oh. All yours.
- This is pretty detailed. - What is it?
Wow! It's got the airline name on it.
Pretty conservative for a snack to cheer us up.
I'd buy Maronev 59 monaka* if they had it. (*sweet red bean filled crispy sweets)
- What's that? - You never heard of Maronev 59?
I'd probably buy Tokorozawa monaka too if they had it.
Huh? Tokorozawa*? (*Tokorozawa Aviation Memorial Park)
Hello. This is Yuuki at the Tower.
Yes. What? Close the runways?
Kubo-san.
- Hey, Takeuchi. Sorry about this. - That's okay.
- The rookie we've been hearing about? - Yes.
I'm Kubo, Deputy Air Traffic Controller.
I'm Shinoda. Pleased to meet you.
Yes. Yes. Kubo-san. Urgent call from Yuuki-san.
Hello.
Kubo-san, I just got word from the Aeronautical Information Officer
that Bird Patrol saw a figure in the area of P-2.
- Did someone enter the runway? - We don't have
the details yet, but considering safety first,
we've been requested to shut down all runways immediately.
- Got it. - Thank you.
We're shutting down all runaways at once.
Aircraft already in the final approach path will go around.
Everyone, listen up. Aircraft heading for the airport
will hold in their holding areas. Once they're in a holding pattern, tell the pilots
that it's unknown when the runways will reopen and
ask them if they want to divert to another airport or hold.
All of them are closed?
It's only an emergency measure until we know the facts.
If there's actually something, it could lead to a great disaster.
I'll contact ATMC. Takeuchi, can I have you give directions?
Shinoda-san.
You go back up right now.
- To the Air Traffic Control Tower? - I don't know when the runways will reopen, but
but once they reopen, we'll have to quickly move
the landing and departing aircraft.
- Go help them get ready for that. - Got it.
All Nippon 328. Go around.
Execute missed approach. Climb and maintain 4,000.
Makino-san. Makino-san!
- Huh? - Makino-san!
- What is it? - I just saw someone.
- Huh? - This way.
Where?
He was heading that way from there.
Until the situation becomes clear, we've been instructed
to make sure the airport terminal doesn't go in a state of panic
because of false information. The safety of passengers comes first.
Let's remain calm and poised.
- Yes. - I'm counting on you.
Why isn't it flying?
I'll miss my meeting if I don't hurry!
What're you gonna do if I lose the contract?!
We are currently looking into it as well.
We ask for your patience.
- Iida-san. - Yes.
- Why is it taking so long? - Please wait a while longer.
Look, I have to leave right away!
There's been a slight security problem.
What's that? I need a better explanation!
We are looking into it as we speak.
I'm being held up here, you know...
We are truly very sorry.
Yes. Yes. Very well. It's a request for cooperation.
Security Squad will be working out of here.
All aircraft already in the final approach path have been instructed to go around.
Alright. Sakai, what about your side?
- All departing aircraft have been stopped. -Listen.
Notify me immediately if you see an intruder approaching an aircraft.
Captain, there appears to be two suspicious boats coming in.
A guard ship from Wangan Station is on its way to check them out.
Let's go.
Is Yuuki-san, the supervisor, here?
That would be me.
I'm Taniguchi, captain of Haneda Airport Security Squad.
We'll be using your space here
- for a while. - Got it.
Excuse me, but can you step back?
Our job requires us to watch the aircraft too.
But they're not moving.
What's the current situation?
All takeoff and landing have been stopped.
Excuse me, but is it necessary to go this far?
The security camera caught a passenger who arrived 20 minutes ago
running away without going through the arrival lobby.
There's also a report of suspicious boats in the area.
Furthermore, there's one baggage that has yet to be claimed
at the International Flight Baggage Claim.
In view of the various circumstances, we will be on guard to be prepared for the worst.
I thought you had gone down.
I was told to help up here.
What can I do?
Call the airline companies and
and find out the remaining fuel of the aircraft holding in airspace.
Under these circumstances, holding may continue for more than 30 minutes.
- Let them know that too. - Will do.
Thanks.
Did I just imagine that?
Hey, what are you doing?!
We're here to inspect the airframe.
Hold it, will you?
The engine cowling is still open.
Concurrent with investigation of the intruder, we will be looking for suspicious items.
The possibility of explosives is undeniable as well.
At any rate, let us inspect the airframe.
But please make sure
you don't leave anything around the engine or gear.
Also, please get permission before you touch the airframe.
Will do.
- What's the situation? - The Security Squad's in the Tower
and they're keeping watch. All departing flights have been stopped and
arriving aircraft are standing by in their hold areas for now.
Takeuchi-san, Japan Air in holding pattern has a medical emergency.
This is Tokyo Approach.
Due to the urgency of the situation I will speak in Japanese.
Can you tell me the nature of the emergency?
One of the passengers suffered a heart attack.
A doctor was among the passengers and is treating the patient, but
I understand the condition is critical. Please grant us permission to land.
- Can you go to Narita? - I'm sorry, but
the visibility is poor at Narita and I'm not qualified to land there.
I understand. Please wait.
This is Takeuchi. Japan Air 556 Medical Emergency.
Requesting to land at Haneda.
Have it fly to Narita.
The pilot isn't qualified to land at Narita in the current state of visibility.
Can't he wait until the visibility improves?
We're talking about a heart attack.
- We don't have that kind of time. - According to the company,
Japan Air 556 has the least amount of fuel among the aircraft
- holding in airspace. - But even so...
We still don't know how the suspicious boats are related to all this.
As long as the possibility of worst case scenario exists,
- we can't grant permission to land. - It only takes a few minutes to land.
What if there were explosives on the runway?
More than one life will be at risk.
We can choose the runway that has the least possibility.
Shinoda. Shut up for a minute.
The answer's still no. Security Squad's absolutely right.
The gravity of the matter is vastly different between
one casualty and 200 casualties.
Do you want us to coordinate with other airports?
I don't think we have enough time to do that.
Yuuki, follow the order.
Are you listening?
Is there more than one intruder?
No. The descriptions given by eyewitnesses are all similar.
We believe he's acting alone.
The Tower grants Japan Air permission to land.
What are you saying?
The gravity of the situation hasn't been established yet.
Then it's only natural to save the life in danger
- before our very eyes. - You're really something else.
That would make things difficult for us too. The safety of the airport...
I'm sorry, but just as you people protect the safety of the airport,
we air traffic controllers cannot forsake the passengers onboard an aircraft in flight
without making an attempt to save them.
You will be held accountable.
Two suspicious boats captured.
They claim they were out fishing when they had engine trouble and were swept away.
Got it. Proceed with the interrogation.
Please fill me in on the latest eyewitness report on the man who fled.
I'll land the aircraft on the safest runway.
It's here.
- How long ago was that? - 7 minutes ago.
Yuuki.
Takeuchi. We'll have the runway inspected immediately.
Once you hear from us, put Japan Air
on the approach path for Runway 22.
What the hell are you saying!
Please have Runway 22 inspected.
- Are you sure? - He was last seen
7 minutes ago near 34L. That's 3 km away from 22.
He can't get to 22 no matter how fast he runs.
- Got it. - Yuuki, don't you...
Excuse me. I have to go land an aircraft.
Kondo. We're bringing down Japan Air 556 on 22.
Pay special attention to the surrounding areas.
Are you sure about this?
Just go wait for contact.
Yes.
Ah. Takeuchi.
- Yes? - Phone call for you.
- Hello, this is Takeuchi. - Yumi?
Why are you calling me here?
I brought Sora to the hospital. They're going to prescribe
antibiotics because he has a high fever, but
- does he have allergies or anything? - No, he doesn't.
He never had side effects from antibiotics?
Any medications he can't take?
There's nothing like that. Sorry, I'll call you when I'm done here.
- Is everything okay? - Yes.
- Hasn't the intruder been found yet? - No.
We searched the hangars, cargo bay, and other likely places, but
- he hasn't been found yet. - Get a move on it!
It's not coming yet.
It should be coming out of its holding pattern by now.
Shall I call the Terminal Radar Room?
All we can do is wait.
But is it okay to be doing this?
How can it be okay.
Anyway, check again to make sure
no one's around the runway.
All Nippon. Correction.
Japan Air 556. Fly heading 040. Left out to LDA-2 Runway 22
Final approach course. Descend and maintain 5,000.
Mama, good day.
Hey. Where are you hiding?
- Excuse me. - Yes?
Did you check over there?
There's a tunnel before the runway.
But you can't see inside the tunnel from here.
Hey. Go check it out. The tunnel.
Did they find him?
Japan Air 556. Departing Bond
Japan Air 556. Runway 22 cleared to land.
Wind 230 at 15.
Capture!
Intruder captured! Withdraw!
We're resuming operation immediately. Take your respective positions.
- Thank you for your cooperation. - Thank you.
Shinoda, what are you doing?
Strips are piling up.
Well, well, thank goodness. By the way, where's your rookie?
- Takeuchi. - Yes.
That rookie, Shinoda.
Oh... I thought they might need extra help above, so
I directed her to go back to the Tower.
I see.
We are truly very sorry.
Although it's really not our fault.
This is when you put a smile on your face and scream in your heart.
I'll never forgive the criminal.
What are you grinning about!
Here I am, held up waiting for my baggage.
I'm sorry.
- Quick. - We are very sorry.
For taking your valuable time in this manner,
we apologize from the bottom of our heart.
Hello. I just got off work. I'll be there soon.
Good. He took some medication and it seems to be working.
Can I talk to Sora?
- Sure. - Here, Sora. Its Mama.
Hello.
Sora?
Was the medicine bitter?
It was, huh? You did good. I'll be home soon.
Okay. Hurry home.
Okay. Stay in bed, okay?
Okay. Oh, Mama! Orange juice.
Got it. You were a good boy today. I love you, Sora.
Okay. Good day.
Good day.
Why was he running away?
Huh? I heard he came to see his wife and son who live here
even though he knew he couldn't enter the country
because of his prior record of deportation as an illegal alien.
So he was caught and deported again.
What an idiot. Even if he tried to escape, there's no way he could get out of the airport.
- Oh. - What's the matter?
I forgot my other phone upstairs.
- That's what you get for carrying around two. - Ah, what a pain.
- Looking for this? - Thanks.
I can't agree with your decision to
override the groundstop order.
Is that so?
Where's Sora?
He still has a fever, but he's sleeping soundly.
Yumi, it's on the news.
They're talking about Haneda, aren't they?
Jinnai-san. Why did he come to see his family
when he knew he couldn't enter the country?
According to our source, the suspect attempted entry
to see his son who will be undergoing a life threatening surgery for his brain tumor.
Currently, a person thought to be the suspect's wife
has come to the airport seeking visitation.
I feel so sorry for them.
Just a little fever and we're worried to death. But a brain tumor.
The request for visitation is expected to be denied.
The suspect will more than likely be deported
without seeing his family.
How is the current situation at Haneda Airport?
Thank you. Thank you for your help.
- Excuse me. - Yes.
- You're yesterday's...? - Yes.
Are you here for visitation?
Under the circumstance, visitation was denied.
I heard he was leaving the country today, so
I was hoping to get a glimpse at least.
- Do you know what time the flight leaves? - No...
I wanted to let him see his father somehow.
North wind's blowing today.
Can you come with me?
You didn't meddle, did you?
That child is battling a life-threatening disease.
It's difficult for him to travel for a long period of time.
He couldn't go see his father even if he wanted to.
What his father did was unforgivable.
But if I was in his position,
I might have done the same thing.
What time's the flight?
Japan Air 317 departing at 10:20.

- What's pretty soon? - Nothing.
- You're saying nothing is pretty soon... - That's right.
No, no, no, no. Something's going to happen
pretty soon, right? What's pretty soon?
Communication's coming in.
775 Taxi via Echo. Hold short of Echo 2.
It bugs me.
Kondo-kun, can you watch Shinoda-san for a while?
- Yamashita-kun, may I take over? - Huh? What's the matter?
- Did I make a mistake? - That's not it.
- Then why are you cutting in? - Can you be quiet for a while?

Have a nice flight. Good day!
Was it okay to do that?
It wasn't okay.
I did it for the boy. Because to a child, the father is a major presence.
Father, huh?
- I'm leaving first. Good night. - Good night.
Why did you become an air traffic controller?
You were asking me all kinds of questions.
Tell me about yourself next.
- Good night. - Good night.
Do you know anything about
- Takeuchi-san's husband? - Why?
I was just curious.
I heard her husband was an American air traffic controller.
Takechan-man's sharp, so
she was assigned to overseas duty for 3 years.
That's when she got married, huh?
But her husband isn't around anymore.
- Sora, come. - Mama!
Good day, Papa.
Honjo-kun?!
