January 14, 1999
His name is Tendo.
Could this idiot face belong to an angel...?
However, he does seem to know how long I'll live.
If I don't complete ten tasks by March 19th,
I'll die, he says.
And so...
Well, the day is tomorrow.
The first deadline is tomorrow at 10:10 AM...
However, I still don't know the assignment...
It's tomorrow already. What'll we do?
Oughta hear any time now.
I haven't slept for a week already!
Me either!
Why not?
Sweetie? How's work coming along?
Knock it off!
I wouldn't go over there if I were you...
Yow! Jeez, that hurts!
See?
"To Rikarin... with love"
Yes?
Sir? Your wife on the phone...
Hello?
Honey?
What's wrong?
Satoru and I are at at the ski cottage
and it's colder here than I expected.
You know those Canadian blankets you featured?
Can you send me one?
Sure. I'll send it right away.
Will you? Thank you.
I think I'll send one to Rikarin, too...
Yes? Right away, sir?
Did you call me, sir?
Will you send these blankets out?
Certainly.
I've got the addresses written out.
And send this along inside this...
Yes, sir. To Miss Koizumi Rikarin...?
Listen carefully now.
Send it in this package. I've marked it, okay?
The President's office...
Mr. Shiokawa is here? I'll be right down.
Here to check the air conditioning...
Only one more day...
Shiro!
What?!
It's here!!
What's here?
The assignment from Heaven...!
If, by 10:30 tomorrow morning
you don't kiss Tsuyuzaki Koharu,
you'll die instantly.
What on earth...?!
Instant death if you don't kiss Koharu!
Then, go kiss her!
You idiot! Why would Heaven send an envelope?
It's obvious you wrote that yourself.
Stupid! Just kiss her!
This is a lucky assignment!
No matter whether she gets you arrested or sued,
it's better than dying!
What does my life have to do with kissing her?
How would I know?! I'm just doing my job here!
Who put you up to this?
Nobody! Who'd profit by something like this?!
Just so you know.
Didn't you say you'd be in big trouble
if didn't do this...?
Did I say that?
I bet my mom heard about my lazy lifestyle,
and put you up to this but won't pay until I perform...
Are you brainless? Are you?
You're the one who's brainless!
Go on! Go on! Go kiss her.
What are they doing...?
Koharu! He wants to talk to you.
Such a shy girl.
Knock it off! Quit fooling around with my life!
You've been fooling with your own life for years.
Fine. Don't do it. Just drop dead then.
The other day you said you wanted to live.
Well, I...
I see now...
You won't do it.
You'll just die.
I'll do it already!
Got you worried, did I?
I still don't believe this story of yours!
That look! That expression! Keep that look!
Get outta here!
Huh? Is it possible you've never kissed a girl...?
Shut up!
Okay... Anyway, just kiss her.
Okay, okay! Just get outta here.
I have, to kiss Koharu...?
Pardon me...
These fans... You know how many we sold last year?
I think we sold 300...
Right. Only 300. Look at the catalog page...
"This fan is cool..." Of course it's cool!
What's with the dots? What are you implying?
Amakasu! Don't stand there like a fool! Listen up!
What on earth is that?
I thought there might be a big bear boom,
so I requested a sample...
A bear boom? And what are you wearing it for?!
You know, I thought for parities...
Send it back!
Amakasu! Take this thing back!
What's this? Fortune-telling?
Koharu, come try it! It's fun!
Don't think so...
It really works.
Now, Koharu is... let's see.
She's got thick lips so probably...
What're you doing, Shiro?
No, I mean...!
Isn't he a little creepy!
Oh, no...!
Let's do it!
You're going to Nagoya, right?
We'll see who delivers the stuff and gets back first.
Then pay me the 200,000 yen first!
I'll put up my car!
But if I win, you gotta pay me the 200,000!
Got myself a car!
I'm sorry.
You sent the envelope in the package to my wife...?!
Yes. I'm sorry.
I've called the truckers and they're gone already.
I'll get another blanket from the warehouse...
That's not it! You're fired.
Unless you get that package back, you're fired.
Understand?
Rikarin's photo?!
My wife is the daughter of a very rich businessman,
and do you know what'll happen if she finds out...?
So, you have to get that package back somehow.
Owada, if you can do this, you'll be Division Chief.
Yes, sir! I'll get it back somehow, sir!!
Thank you all for coming...
One of our most secret files was sent by mistake
to the boss's wife. Now, don't freak out!
It's all due to Miss Tsuyuzaki's carelessness.
You've caused everyone a lot of trouble.
First, you apologize to everyone.
I'm very sorry for all the trouble I've caused.
An apology doesn't cut it!
Anyway, there's a photo in there his wife mustn't see.
A Photo?
I mean microfilm!
We've got microfilm?
Anyway! The boss hid it in a blanket,
and we have to get it back before it's delivered.
This is our Mission Impossible!
This is stupid.
Our officers here, and the ski cottage is here...
The truck carrying the package has gone already
and is expected to arrive at 10:30 tomorrow morning!
10:30...?
The 15:47 train will get you there,
and the number on the truck was what?
It was a Tonami Express truck, number 88.
It can't be reached.
Anyway, get that package back!
The package to look for is marked with a heart!
I'll go!
Miss Tsuyuzaki? You can't do it.
I need someone dependable...
I have an important client.
Nakatsugawa?
Me, too.
1'" go?
You...? The troublemaker?
All you need is a part-timer like him...
Okay, then Koharu, go with him.
Amakasu! Tsuyuzaki! The enemy is north! Go get it!
I can go by myself!
I'm responsible so I'll fix it.
Asato!
Shiro's uncle!
Where's that Idiot Shiro?
We've got a problem.
The 3:47 Azusa Express has been canceled
due to deep snow...
Oh, no! What'll we do...?
Car! We'll go by car!
What?
Nothing.
I'll just have to come out and ask her...
Listen...
Hello?
Please leave your name, phone number and a message.
Hello, Satoru? You're at the cottage, aren't you?
I need you to intercept a package for me.
I've got work to do. Can I go?
Wait, there's no drama in being here alone.
Headquarters!... What?
Anyway, we've no choice but to go by car.
No, wait for a train.
They have no idea when they'll run again.
A rental car wouldn't have been much more expensive...
This bus is expected to arrive at to 10:00 AM.
Then we'll get to the cottage just about 10:30.
Even if we get the package back...
What?
Oh, sorry.
Sit farther away!...
I'm so cold.
I'm so cold, and tired of waiting for you...
What a coincidence! And you're with Koharu!
What's this about.
Yeah, what's this about?
I'm on vacation. Say: vacation...
Shut up!
Who are you?! You were at my house...
I'm sorry. You see, I'm his uncle from Fukuoka.
His uncle?
Yep. And I know all about you...
Headquarters!... No, we don't do bentos.
Thanks, everybody...
Sir! Everyone, stand up!
Sit down!
Is the problem with the microfilm taken care of?
Absolutely!
Good. Well, I'll be at home.
If you hear anything, call.
Yes, sir.
You'll be at Setagaya...?
Right! Your house is in Minato Ward!
You're looking a little tired...!
I'm going, too.
Me, too.
And me.
Hold it!
Listen here! This is commander speaking!
Until this issue is resolved, no one leaves!!
When did you get so nice?
Shut up. What're you doing here?
I ask you: how'd you get mixed up in this mess?
I came to see if you're messing up again.
You're in the way. Go home.
I will. Right after you kiss her.
Hey, do it now! Now's your chance!
No!
Then I'll do it.
What good would that do?
You've only got seven hours to go.
I can't kiss her with all this fuss going on.
As if you could kiss her if it weren't...
Flash! If you pull this off, she'll be grateful:
"Shiro! We did it!" And then the kiss!
"Shiro wait! You're going too far... Shiro!"
Time to take a leak!
Want to get off?
Thank you for this.
What is it?
Nothing.
Saying that makes me wonder. What is it?
I have a favor...
No, never mind.
Come on! Once you start to say something, then say it!
Well... No, you'll never do it.
What is it?! How do you know unless you ask?
I'd like a ki...
Number 88!!
What's wrong?
There it is! No. 88!
Sir, you forgot your change...!
Oh, thanks.
Excuse me! Are you the truck driver?
Number 88?
Yea h, that's right.
I need to stop a package from being delivered.
Sure, come with me.
Hold it! I bet Hayami asked you to do this!
Why that...!
Wait!
You're not hurt, you're not hurt!
What is he doing?!
Hold m!
You let him get away! Idiot! Catch him!
The boss is really worked up about this. Silly.
I'm sorry I let him get away.
It's okay. It'll work out.
Why did you join our company?
Asato got me the job.
This is what you want to do?
No, I don't have much I really want to do...
I have so much I want to do but not enough time.
I habitually give up on whatever I'm doing.
I have three older brothers
and they all graduated from Tokyo University.
And you think, "Who cares what I do..."?
I guess.
I hate that philosophy.
When you make too much out of everything,
and you wonder, "why me?" You give up on everything.
But everybody's got stuff they want to run away from.
But if you don't run, and even if you make mistakes,
you hang in there, and when you do succeed,
it's so great...
Naturally life isn't all good stuff,
but things will work out. I decided to think that way.
However, I cry at the drop of a hat.
She says great stuff!
You think we'll make it?
The tracks have been cleared and the trains are running.
Stop the bus!
Are you getting off?
We'll get a train at Hanayama Station.
It'll get us there faster.
I'll go with you.
No, I'll deal with things.
Really, I will.
Okay. Then, here.
Why didn't you give us these earlier?!
What a way to talk. Never mind, then.
Please lend them to us.
Oh, all right. Here, Koharu.
What about me?
This is mine!
You have a fine outfit!
I'm not wearing that!
You'll be the fashion leader!
Hang in there, kid. You know what to do...!
Koharu! Thanks a bunch!
What was that about?
Who knows...?
Think we'll make it?
It'll work out.
Anyway, let's hurry to the station.
Are you cold?
I'm okay.
By the way, you wanted a favor of me...?
Oh, never mind.
What's wrong?
Koharu?
Will you shut your eyes a minute?
Why?
A favor.
Oh... okay.
Eeek! What're you doing!
Hello? Tsuyuzaki here
I got your message. I'm stuck in a huge traffic jam
and I may or may not arrive by 10:30.
Oh, no! What'll I do?!
Where are you?
Near Hanayama Station I'm with Mr. Amakasu.
The guy who prevented the suicide...
Oh, my... Maybe you're in item now?
Don't be silly.
Anyway. I'll get there, as soon as I can,
so you hurry, too.
Tell me you love me.
Don't ask me that now!
Come on.
I love you.
What're you laughing for?
Sorry. See you later.
The station!
The train!
Wait!!
What'll we do now...?!
Can you give us a lift this far...?
Koharu-chan, you're really something.
I told you I hate wishy-washy people.
I've seen this done on television.
It won't work.
Someone will stop!
Please stop!
Please!
Thank you so much.
Get in.
There's someone else with me...
A bear!
Why am I driving?
Sorry. I lost my license somewhere.
If we'd rented a car in Tokyo,
I'd be driving the whole way?
I didn't want to tell you.
Thank Heavens. We're not used to driving.
Isn't this great, Ma-chan?
Idiots!
Now which way?
No idea. Right, Megu?
Good grief!
Turn left here.
You might hit the highway.
Great!
Then straight on from here.
What?
I think we're outta gas.
There's no call... What shall I do...? What...
I can't stand it!!
Nakatsugawa, get another car and go after them!
Sawaguchi, call the trucking company again,
and Setoguchi and Maeda go buy some stuff to eat.
I'll stay here. Call if anything happens.
What about me?
You...
Go home.
Why does this have to happen to me...?
What?
Koharu-chan, I have a favor to ask...
Something strange, no doubt.
Will you give me a kiss?
Pervert!!
No! If you don't kiss me, I'll die!
You area pervert!!
Koharu I'm sorry!
Number 88!!
Where is he?
Inside, probably.
When he comes out detain him for a while.
What you do?
I'm going to get the package.
Can you do it?
What're you doing here?
I should ask you! It's 7:00!
I know, already!!
Here you go.
Thank you!... I'd like to pay you back...
No need.
A can of soda or something?
What a nice girl. No, the thought is enough.
I'm a truck driver and I'm kinda in a hurry.
I'm competing with a friend of mine.
This is not good...
Koharu! Get in!
How come you're driving?
Excuse me!
What is it?
I'm still want to thank you!
You really are nice! I don't need anything!
Can you stop a minute?
Okay-
Did Hayami send you?
Why is there a bear in there?!
Are you all right?!
Go on! Kiss her!
I'm fine, but the package...
Kiss her!!
Wait!
Oh, no! It's after 8:00 already...
Gonna say it?
Well?
Oh, who cares...
He said it! The champion!
Shut up!
Giving up? On the package, on the kiss, on life?
This whole thing is so dumb.
What is?
Dying would be a whole lot easier!
Then drop dead.
Forget it. I'm giving up, too.
Everything you do is half-baked.
Even if you keep at this,
you won't get the package and you won't get kissed.
The other day when you screamed you wanted to live?
It was a miracle. You used up your whole life's worth.
The" you try it!
You talk so tough to me, but you're a wimp!
A mama's boy. I was crazy to bet on you!
Say good-bye to your pitiful little life!
That's all it is! All you can do is whine!
No wonder you can't compete with your brothers.
I'll do it.
I'll show you.
Don't bust your butt for me.
I don't care about my life,
but when I start on something,
I'll see it through.
What'll we do?! He's gone!
I'll see it through.
What happened?
Maybe I was a little hard on him...
Let me borrow this...
Was that your bear?
Mr. Amakasu!
Let me borrow this...
Get on.
Mr. Samejima? I'm at Omeyasu Station.
Okay. We can't get hold of the truck driver,
so go do it.
Okay, I'll head for the cottage...
What's wrong?
I must be more tired then I realize...
Give me back that package!
It's you!
You never give up!!
I need that package back.
Why did Hayami go through all this...?!
Hayami? Who's he?
I'm gonna deliver this package... Missus!!
Are you OK?
I don't know where is Shiro.
It's him!
Where's the package?
Marked with a heart!
Shiro, hurry! Time is running out!
I can't do it...
Thank you, Shiro!
Go to him!
Damn bear!
You did it!
Cut!
You creep!
Uh-oh! It's a human!
Amakasu Shiro...
Hello? Nakatsugawa here. Successfully completed...
What on earth are you doing there?!
Good job!
I probably wouldn't have died even without the kiss!
You're all clear.
Koharu is mad with me...
Next trial: January 22nd...
Give me a break... What's this?
