Hey, yeah
Do you understand where you are?
Yes, right now you're between truth and lies
Oh, the time is ripe
l don't need words of grief
Oh, at this rate, we'll end up losing the means to change anything
Deep inside of my small heart, into the light
lt began to move
Nothing can be sweeter than your smile
What l sealed away was the sound of my life being saved
Sometimes l think that is me choosing the way
Body trembling
You must not say l don't care, tell me why
What l'm letting fly is the sound of my life being saved

Oh, Kogure.
l can't read English.
lt was just a little memo.
ls this a car navigation system?
Something like that.
lt borrows signals from military and weather satellites.
So it's on a different level from the average car navigation system?
lt's more accurate than anything else, under any conditions.
Depending on the data you get, it'll track your movements down to the meter.
Plus, it's made so that it will perform in a broad range of temperatures:
from -20 to 80 degrees centigrade.
Can you combine the monitor and the computer itself into one unit?
lf you want me to.

LIFE DIAGNOSIS GENDER: FEMALE (CONTENTS OF ASSIGNMENT)
Olga Elenova, a woman.
Looks like there's another name on there.
Andrei Sergeievich Romanovski...
A Russian?
Yeah...
He's the person who wants to hire me, and the woman is his intermediary.
Andrei Sergei... Man, that's long.
lf it were me, l'd change my name.
ln Russian names,
your father's name is always included in your middle name.
Your dad's? Huh, so that's why it's long.
Our friend Sergei Alexsandrovich Romanovski has been called to Heaven.
Sergei Alexsandrovich lived a faithful life,
and he loved both Russia and Japan.
Now, all of you gathered here, please pay your last respects
to our friend Sergei Alexsandrovich Romanovski as well.
Please come to the house this evening.
Sergei Alexsandrovich... Alexsandor...
Here it is.
Alexsandor Fyodorvich Romanovski, born in 187 4, a prince,
the last governor-general of the lmperial government-controlled East Siberia Company.
So he's of noble descent...
ls this Kogure?
About that GPS we were discussing... l've got one more request.
Yeah, a performance range that ends at -20 degrees won't be good enough.

''Russian Prince Disappears.''
Russian Prince Disappears Special Correspondent Reporting From Harbin Power Plant According to Harbin Power Plant officials, the expected date for Russian Prince Romanovski's arrival is long past, yet he has not yet arrived. On the seventh oflastmonth, after putting his eldest son Sergei on an American cargo-passenger ship called the Lincoln... So this was in the middle of the Russian Revolution?
On the seventh of the month, after putting his eldest son Sergei
on an American cargo-passenger ship called the Lincoln,
Prince Romanovski, commanding approximately fifty Cossack horsemen,
went with his second son, Vladimir, to subjugate the rebels.
However, he disappeared before ever reaching his destination.
We've been waiting for you.
You're Olga Elenova?
Yes...
l was Sergei Alexsandrovich Romanovski's secretary before he passed away.
This way.
Pleased to meet you. My name is Beppu.
You're younger than l expected.
l'm Andrei Sergeievich Romanovski.
According to what Olga tells me, you'll negotiate with any party.
lf necessary.
However,
l'm the one who decides whether or not it's necessary.
l see.
Do you know Russia, l wonder?
Compared with people such as yourselves,
l can't say that l know it.
Russia means a cold that freezes even your soul.
Snowstorms and a knifelike wind cutting through thickets of white birch,
and an unendingly vast land.
l have never trod upon that land.
Do you understand how much someone like me longs to go home to Russia?
l do.
After all, between you and your parents, you've lived for a full 78 years on foreign soil.
l can't imagine that your return to Russia is the matter for negotiation.
May we get down to business?
My grandfather, Alexsandor Fyodorvich Romanovski, had two sons.
My father, Sergei, and...
And his younger brother Vladimir.
The Russian Revolution of 191 7...
Siberia was no different than anywhere else.
There was incessant civil warfare between the revolutionists and the conservatives.
ln 1919, in the midst of that,
my grandfather forced my father Sergei to emigrate to America by boat.
lmmediately afterwards, commanding fifty Cossack horsemen,
he went with Vladimir to subjugate the revolutionists.
He never returned.
Her name is Nadezhda lvanovna Pavletskaya.
Her nickname is Nadenka. She's twelve years old now.
She's Vladimir's granddaughter.
What proof is there that she's his granddaughter?
The fact that she calls herself ''Vladimir Babochka's daughter.''
''Babochka'' means ''butterfly.''
Vladimir loved butterflies, you see.
Just within the family, he was called ''Babochka'' as a nickname.
But the ring was what settled the matter, wasn't it?
How did you...
l can tell that your ring and hers are a pair from the prince's portrait.
My grandfather split his ring into two rings,
and gave them to his two sons.
He prayed that the grace of God would enable the brothers to meet again.
May l see it?
Very well.
ln the end, my father and Vladimir were never able to meet again.
However, Vladimir's granddaughter appeared, as you see,
and my father did everything he could to bring Nadenka to Japan.
But he left this world without seeing that dream realized.
Why did he fail to bring her over?
Because the commanding officer of the Siberian District of the Ministry of lnternal Affairs'
Federal Counterintelligence Service didn't grant him permission.
Why not?
lt's a very political problem.
My grandfather who disappeared in Siberia,
my father who went to America, and myself...
For three generations, the Romanovski family have been vocal opponents of socialism.
And so Russia views you as a political criminal even now?
Precisely.
Even when the Soviet Union has collapsed?
Even though the Soviet Union has collapsed,
Russia is a socialist state through and through.
So what's my role?
l'd like you to go Siberia in my place and bring Nadenka back.
lf we don't do anything for her,
she'll spend her whole life under the surveillance of that division.
Look at her expression in that picture.
Nadenka's happiness was also my late father's will.
All right, l'll take on this assignment.
But...
l won't do so as your representative.
l'll go as the executor of your father Sergei Alexsandrovich's will.
l'll take the ring with me.
What? The ring shouldn't be necessary for the negotiations!
You believed in Nadenka because of her ring.
Why should the other side be able to believe in me without this ring?
Then l'll issue an official document.
How will that be?
No.
Things like that have no meaning in Russia now.
The ring is vital to this negotiation.
East-West Refrigeration
East-West Refrigeration Yoshihiro
lt may be Siberia, but it's better than the Himalayas at least.
There's lots of oxygen in Siberia after all.
That doesn't have anything directly to do with the cold, does it?
Jeez! lf there's not much oxygen, even food won't warm you up.
You bear the full brunt of the cold.
Yoshi!
Hey, Boss, sorry about this.
lt's all set.
No matter how cold it is, a person's skin still produces sweat.
lf that freezes, you're done for.
That underwear uses capillarity to push the moisture away from you.
lt's quite light.
Okay.
So do you want to see how it feels to be forty degrees below zero in the bitter Siberian cold?
This is what it's like without wind?
My hands and feet are already...
Two hours, eh?
Well, he probably won't last that long.
lt's been two hours.
Jeez, you're really something.
And here l was waiting for you to cry uncle.
Line the hood with fur for me.
Also, these goggles don't fit my face. Please change them for me.
l'll need two days to get it done.
For the goggles, try on my old pair.
ls it impossible to keep my fingers any warmer?
Yugo...
What have you been thinking happened to my hands all this time?
l'm a winter mountain-climbing pro, and even l ended up like this.
There's no way to insulate the tips of your fingers and toes perfectly.
How cold was it that time?
lt was nothing too bad,
28 degrees below zero.
And now, let's continue by reading a letter from Sweden.
''Hello, Miss Mariko. l live in Stockholm.''
''l listen to your program every single time it's on.''
Thank you, Sir.
''l've finally gotten used to the Land of the Midnight Sun,
and l've reached the point with the language where l can get along in my daily life.''
''lt's just like they used to say, isn't it? Experience really is the best teacher.''
Mr. Yugo...
Hi!
lf you'd told me you were coming,
l'd have made sure you didn't have to wait.
Sorry, l always show up out of the blue like this.
Not at all. What brings you here today?
Miss Mariko, you can tell people's voices apart, isn't that right?
You insult me.
Perhaps l don't look it, but l am a radio announcer, you know.
Things like that have no meaning in Russia now.
The ring is vital to this negotiation.
l'd like you to call this number every day, starting tomorrow.
And what should l say?
You can be a telemarketer or anything else you want.
l'll leave it to you.
All right.
The girl from the tape l just played should answer.
lf no one picks up, or a different person answers the phone, l'd like you to contact me.
All right. But how will l contact you?
l'll check your broadcast every day.
l take it that we're doing this over the shortwaves because you're going abroad again?
We can use the radio,
but l'll need you to at least give me a keyword.
''Babochka.''
''Babochka''? That's ''butterfly,'' if l recall.
ls it Russia, then?
ls your client untrustworthy?
Why are you taking the job?
She looks so sad...
lt looks like she was intentionally made to look that way.
lf you know that much...
The fact that she's without her family and all alone in Siberia doesn't change.
As usual, your lifestyle doesn't pay.
This is the only lifestyle l can come up with.
The piercing words that are horribly tangled up in my heart
Can't be so easily untangled
A friend leaves me again
l don't want to become a doll adrift in a sea of humanity
l'll sing my own kind of song
This town has a smell to it that makes me nostalgic
lt brings back memories of my childhood
lt gets you, gets you, grabs your heart and never lets go
Baby, baby, when will l be able to slip away?
l don't know
