Three more hours and it'll be Saturday...
I'm rather frantic. The reason why I's...
Each week I've gotten a task from Heaven before Friday,
but this week it hasn't come yet,
and Tendo is nowhere to be found.
I 'in beginning to think the whole thing was a lie,
but I'm scared. I don't want to die yet.
Thank you!
I haven't even told Koharu how I feel...
Can I talk to you a little later?
About what?
Just... Something.
Watch it!
Sorry.
Boss, what's this party for anyway?
Two days ago was Girl's Day
so we're showing our appreciation to our girls
and our female clients.
Where have you been?!
At a hot spring in Hakone!
How come you didn't tell me where you were?
Huh? Are you perhaps a little worried...?
No! But where did you get the money to go?
The second drawer.
That's my money!!
Listen, if you'd paid me for all I'd done,
50,000 would be cheap.
50,000! You spent that much?!
I'll pay it back!
More important than that: The assignment hasn't come!
What? I thought you could do this on your own now,
so I took my time.
It's already after nine!
Even if it comes now, what can I do? Oh, dear!
Is there a Mr. Amakasu here?
Look for the stupidest looking one...
Why pick me?!
Over here.
This was delivered here.
Here it is!
That's not for you to say!
What is it this time?
"If by 9:50 tonight, you make one wrong choice,
you die instantly."
What on earth...?
A wrong choice...? Anyway, you've got 48 minutes.
Just don't make any mistakes. Try praying.
You're the wrong one to say that.
For dessert would you like vanilla or green tea?
Which correct...?! Vanilla or green tea...?!
Which one?... I don't know! Anyway, pick one!
I'll take this one!
What on earth are you two doing...?
Thank Heavens.
This is a rough one.
Anyway, I'll die if I make a wrong choice before 9:50...
It's 9:03 now... I've got 47 minutes to go!
This is no time for dancing!
Dancing with a broom!
You were dancing! Like some sad version of Chucks Berry.
Sad? I was sad? No way! Is that what folks think?!
Look at the boss, dancing like he's making musubi!
Only Satoru looks cool.
Trying to make us all look bad!
And Owada getting a little carried away dancing...
Where is Owada?
Oh, shut up.
Anyway you spent two minutes dancing
so that's 45 minutes left! Don't make any bad choices!
I know. I know!
Would you like some beer?
Don't need... Absolutely! I live for beer! Thank you!
How was my dancing?
You looked like a professional!
Thanks for your patience, everyone!
It's time to draw for our door prizes!
This time we've got great prizes from our clients.
We want everyone to have a nice gift.
Sorry I'm late!!
I told you he get carried away.
What are you doing?
Sorry... Who did this? Who bought all this stuff?!
I don't think we should have games with prizes!
This comes out of our bonuses! Take them back!
We got them all free.
What a great idea!
What a fine game! Who thought of this game?
I'm taking your name out.
Get on with it!
The first prize goes to... Mr. Samejima!
And Mr. Samejima gets...? The Setoguchi Prize!
I thought we might have a pet boom,
so when I asked for a sample, this came:
A poisonous snake!
These are expensive! Hebora snake! Only three in Japan!
I don't want it! Put it away!
So, Mr. Samejima wins the poisonous snake!
You be a good boy...
You're not drinking?
I'm so worried about the assignment, I can't drink.
I wouldn't know which drink to choose!
Sir! Have one on me!
Sake, please!
How about you, Satoru?
I can't drink.
Next is... Oh! It's me!
If you give yourself a good prize, I'll get you.
What is it... it's a set of dictionaries!
How can I get you with stupid stuff like that...?
Boy, are you a boring emcee! Let me get in there...!
I'll give you one. Which would you like?
Which is correct...?
I don't think it matters, but choose wisely...
What are you two so upset about?
This one!
Maybe this isn't the choice they mean... Or it was right.
Yeah! Nothing happened so I must've chosen correctly.
Anyway, hang in there.
Where're you going??
Gimme this.
No!
Why not?!
Asato gave it to me!
Look! Setoguchi's snake is in here...
Yow! It says its bite will kill in 45 minutes!
Koharu!
The snake!!
The snake bit her!
Catch it quick!
It was locked, how could that happen...
It's broken!
Forgive me! And here is the anti-venom!
It's broke!
Somebody, call an ambulance!
It hurts!
Someone should call her family...
Is it that bad...?
I'll go.
This is awful...
What are you waiting for?!
Give her the anti-venom!
I'm not a specialist in that...
"Hebora snake: The area around the bite turns red,"
"and then turns purple shortly thereafter."
"Finally it turns black. When the black disappears,"
"death follows shortly."
I'm so sorry!!
This is no time for crying!
Can't anything be done?!
I'm not involved, I'm not involved...
Didn't it say death comes in 45 minutes?
Stay tough, Koharu...
Hello? This is Kurosawa Keisuke.
Hello, Mr. Kurosawa? I'm Dr. Yayoi. We met before.
Oh, yes. What can I do for you?
Do you have the anti-venom for the Hebora snake?
Hebora... Yes, I do.
We have an emergency. May we come and get it?
Sure. I'll trade it for a bottle of wine.
We found some!
It's in Kurogane...
Kurogane? That's 20 minutes away...
40 minutes round-trip...
Somebody... But everybody's been drinking.
I'll go! I haven't had anything to drink.
Me, either!
Great! You two go!
This is the address. And get some wine.
Wine?
It's a swap. He's a stubborn old man.
Okay-
Amakasu!
Koharu!
Doctor, the wound has changed color.
Are you okay?
Sorry... I wonder why? I haven't drunk anything...
Which should we take: car or train?
Car or train... Which is the right choice?
Train is faster. Let's go.
No! We'll take the car.
Why?
Prepare an IV.
Please hurry. Amakasu... Satoru...
Please, God! Please, Angels!
Please help Miss Tsuyuzaki!
Please, Angels!
Go to Kurogane, get the anti-venom, get back...
It'll be real close...
Shall we go on top or down below?
Top... or below...?
We'll go on top.
No! Go below!
Why? It's faster..
Below! I don't have a reason, but please!
I hope I'm right...
Amakasu?
Huh? I guess the top was better...
Are you in love with Koharu?
I won't let you have her.
Even if I have to kill you.
This is an emergency. It's not the time for that.
Hello!... No one here!
Hello?! Anybody here?!
Amakasu!
There he is! We'd like some wine!
What kind would you like?
Any kind! It doesn't matter! Just hurry!
French or Italian?
French or Italian...? Which is right?
I'll pick Italian.
French! I think French!
What are you so frantic about?
Anyway, let's get French.
Red or white?
Red or white?... Which one is the right one?
There's no time! Get the white!
Will you leave this up to me?
Red or white? Which?!
Then... this one!
My throat...
Doctor! Her throat...!
Oh, dear. The poison is spread in through her body.
Shiro, where are you?!
Doctor, what is it?!
The wound has turned purple.
After purple, it turns black,
and when the black disappears...!
This is bad. We might not make it.
We should've taken the train.
The latest news: due to a derailment,
the subway lines are all stopped.
So the car was right!
But it'd be faster if we'd gone up above...
In traffic news: Due to an accident on the freeway
traffic is backed up for almost ten kilometers.
Good. Everything so far has been correct.
This might work out...
To work out or not to work out...
What're you doing here?
Mr. Tendo?
Satoru, you should keep your eyes on the road.
Quit messing around!
I'm not messing around!
You just happened to make some good choices,
but I'm worried about you.
Oh, sorry.
You really have changed.
Before this, you wouldn't have apologized,
or you'd still be crying in that hospital room.
Uh-oh.
What?
We might run out of gas.
But we'll lose time if we stop to get some.
To put some in or not... Which is better...?
We won't stop!
Let's stop! Please!
High octane or regular?
Satoru, which is it?
High octane.
Really? Is that really the best choice?
It's what I always get.
Cash or credit card?
Credit card.
Are you sure?! The card?
Will you shut up! It's Satoru's decision!
Hello? Dad?
Satoru? It's me... Where are you now?
Just before Ginza... How's Koharu?
The purple is changing to black...
Listen, Dad... Koharu and I have been seeing each other.
We want to get married.
Is that right?
Anyway, let's try to save her life.
Right.
What was that, "Is that right?"
None of your business.
He and Koharu were dating?!
Why weren't you bitten?!!
We're almost at the Ginza...
We passed the Ginza!
Then Akasaka, Roppongi and Kurogane!
We blew a tire!
Of all the times!!
Let's get a taxi!
Get a taxi or fix the flat... which?
Hurry!
Let's fix the flat!
Get real! There's no time!! Get a taxi!
No! Let's fix the flat!
Have you no judgment at all? You're gonna kill Koharu!!
I'm sorry. Where's the spare tire?
Done! Let's go!
If Koharu dies, I'll never forgive you.
I know that.
Leave me alone!
Hurry and get it!
Wait just a minute!
What are you doing?! Get over here!
Stop that! Leave him alone!
Get outta here! Run!
Let's get outta here...
Are you okay?
I'm fine. Let's hurry.
You're really a fool.
Satoru, I'm sorry.
That's the taxi...!
Those are the folks who got in!
Shiro, if we'd taken that taxi, that'd be us!
You picked the right one!
Good!
I'm sorry I jumped on you.
Don't worry about it.
Oh, dear. It's gone black.
Koharu!
Doctor, can't you do something?!
Take any part of me! Just save her!
There's nothing we can do! ...Just wait.
Why...?! Please!
Is that all you can do...?
Miss Tsuyuzaki! Hang in there!
I can't tell if he's a good man or a complete fool.
Roppongi! We're almost there.
What's wrong?
There's something wrong... I feel strange...
My eyes are blurring and my hands...
Are you sure you weren't drinking?
No, I wasn't.
Carsick?
It couldn't be...!
That's a snakebite!
You were bitten, too! And it's gone black!
Oh, good grief...
Satoru! Hurry it up!
Turn left here.
Kurogane... We're almost there.
Right or left?
Shiro? Is it right or left?
Right...
Kurosawa Reptile Research Laboratory.
Who are you?
We called earlier from Yayoi Clinic.
You brought wine?
Here.
Red is the color for wine... Come in.
We did it!
Great! Shiro, you were right!
Here it is. Hebora snake anti-venom.
He was bitten, too.
Too? There's only one dose.
You mean only enough for one person?
Only one, Shiro...
Tendo, this is the easiest choice yet.
Let's hurry and take it back!
You'll die!
I don't care about me.
Amakasu!
Tendo, now I know the meaning of tonight's task:
If I make a mistake, then Koharu will die.
But you will, too.
Lets hurry and take it back.
Sure... Okay. Satoru, let's go!
Thank you!
The black is disappearing.
Hang in there, Koharu!
Telephone.
Hello... Satoru? What?! Amakasu was bitten. too?!
Will you make it in time?
I see...
There's only one dose of anti-venom.
That means... either Koharu or Shiro...
Amakasu refuses to take it. They're on their way.
Shiro...
What're you doing?
I'm going to turn myself in to the police.
How is that gonna help Tsuyuzaki and Amakasu?!
You idiot! Get on your knees and pray!
"The poison from a tarantula..."
"counteracts the Hebora snake venom..." Doctor!
Poison counteracts poison...
Doctor! Please find a tarantula right away!
Hang in there. Amakasu
Shiro, are you okay?
Don't worry about me.
Were not gonna make it!
We will!
Sorry.
Shiro, we're almost there.
Satoru, stop the car.
What?
That...
There's a man named Ozu who does research on spiders
but he's often overseas.
Please let him be there!
No answer...
Hey! Nakatsugawa!
There's no time!
We won't make it by car.
We have to go!
Good evening!
Someone is dying... We have to help her...
Get out.
Please! She's very important to me...
There was a snake and it bit her and the poison...
What's going on here?
We have to get this anti-venom to someone
or she'll die...
Please!
Satoru...?
There is no time!! Please!!
Shiro? Stay with us!
How much longer?
We'll do everything we can. Don't worry.
Thank you.
Don't talk!
This is it!!
Mr. Ozu! Mr. Ozu! Somebody!
We're almost there, Shiro!
What're you doing here?
Mr. Ozu?
Yes, I'm Ozu.
Wonderful!
Lend me a tarantula!
My friend was bitten by a Hebora snake!
What?! Okay, calm down. Let's go inside.
This is a tarantula. On the posterior...
I'll bring it back!
Only the female's poison will work!
The one with the yellow spot on the posterior is female.
She's dying...
Tsuyuzaki! Stay with us!
Shiro! We're there!
Thank you!
Hang in there a bit more...
What's wrong, Amakasu?
Forget me. Go to Koharu.
Hurry and save her.
Satoru, go on. Obey Shiro's choice of actions.
Tendo...
Koharu is...
I love Koharu very much.
That's why I want her to keep oil living... Hurry...
You win.
You love Koharu far more than I do.
What shall I tell her?
In all the world...
She's the one I love most.
All right.
Please.
Please, Satoru!
Shiro!
Tendo... It's over, isn't it?
Why...?
Now I know why I've been alive all this time.
For this one day, to save Koharu's life...
Shiro! Don't go!
I said something really good there...
Shiro! Don't die! You can't die!!
We're too late...
No...
I'm sorry... I'm late! Doctor! Here!
Get a needle.
Where's Amakasu?
Oh, no...!
Prepare for the injection!
She's gonna make it. She got it in time.
Doctor! Thank you so much!
Koharu... I have a message from Amakasu.
He says he loves Tsuyuzaki Koharu best...
...in all the world.
Stay with me! Somebody!!! God! You're so cruel!
Shiro, don't go!
Tendo, never mind. Let's talk a little.
How many more minutes?
Three minutes more.
I've enjoyed these last two months.
Since you showed up, so much has happened...
I finally started living.
Shiro...
Just tell me one thing...
Are you really an angel, or a man pretending to be one?
Well...
It's the end for me. Come on, tell me.
Okay, I'll tell you.
Shiro, you saw the scar on my leg?
Last December...
Shiro!!
Asato!
Let this tarantula sting him
and the poison will act as an anti-venom!
What?! I don't know which one is the female?!
Shiro! You choose!
They're both alike!
Shiro, you have to choose your life's course!
My life's course.
It's this one!
Exactly 9:50!
Cut!! You did it, Shiro!
You mean I'll live?
Yes! You did it!!
Tendo...
I'm so glad!
Your sacrifices for Koharu, your stamina,
your ability to stand up to Satoru...
You used everything you've learned so far,
and furthermore, you learned to make decisions!
Thank Heavens!
Shiro!
Satoru...
They saved you...!
Satoru, thank you for everything!
We cured him with this tarantula.
Satoru, you didn't tell Koharu what I said, did you?
I thought I was dying.
I told her.
Oh, no! How can I ever face her again?!!
She was mostly unconscious.
Then she doesn't know?!
Which do you want?
Only two assignments to go!
