I can go as far as I want.
Faster and farther than anyone.
Where in the world is the limit? I can't see it yet.
Just look forward and forge ahead.
Fight recklessly.
Until you conquer and win.
If you want to snatch it away no matter what...
...don't give up till the end. (Get Through the Night.)
When we look straight at the faraway place...
...our thoughts come together as one.
IGPX!
Go For It!
Stand firm and stay arrogantly stubborn.
Don't look back if it's the course you set.
Let's rise to the top of the very best.
If you stop, it's all over right there.
Show Fight!
Mark, you have a guest.
Oh, have them wait a bit.
Oh, IG machines sure look big when looking from up close.
Awesome.
Takeuchi tools.
That's an IG-1 team for you, using top-notch tools.
What do you want?
Would you like to eat some?
Do you want anything to drink?
He doesn't need any.
You're so cold...
Maybe I'll have some iced coffee.
Sure.
What do you want?
Don't be upset.
I came here on my day off.
Why shouldn't I come see you?
Should you be relaxing here? What about the company?
You're worried about our company?
Your mother is sick in bed.
Mom?
Is that true, Dad?
The doctor said it was overwork.
Could you come home?
I can't go home so easily.
Just show your face.
I'm busy.
It's impossible.
Think of your mother's feelings.
You're his dad?
Thanks for taking care of Mark.
Um, we're out of ice for the coffee.
That's fine.
This strap...
Please leave.
I'll be in town till next week.
I'll be waiting.
Thanks for the coffee.
Today is the annual IGPX festival!
Team participants run a special festival course.
The up-down angle goes from 90º to 60º
Consecutive traps are replacing S-curves.
They run three laps and compete on performance time.
Sledgemama's Yamma performed perfectly!
What's the last lap's time?
The straightaway run was good. The time?
His time is 8 minutes and 06.48 seconds!
Over three seconds faster than last year!
Lap time alone doesn't decide it today.
Your vote will decide the real winner.
If you think someone's run is cool, vote right away!
Are you all right?
Yes, I'm fine.
Oh, the bag...
I'll take care of it.
Here.
In appreciation.
Thanks...
There you are.
Honey, you should be waiting quietly at the hospital.
Huh? Jesse?
Yeah!
Oh, yes. Over here.
Is Mark in the garage?
I want a machine report for the sponsors.
He's back in the office doing maintenance.
He said he'd come at night.
We can give the machine report later.
So please come this way now.
I see...
Mark is still using these?
Yes.
This isn't an ordinary strap.
It's a lucky charm from Japan.
I buy them every year, but I haven't given these yet.
I was hoping I'd see him, but I guess it's not possible.
U-Um, I'm sorry about earlier!
Oh, forgive me for airing my troubles...
Jesse, you might refuse, but I have a favor to ask.
Now then, the IGPX charity auction is about to start.
This year, many one-of-a-kind, must-have items are available!
Team Satomi is ranked 4th with two wins, a loss, and a draw.
If we win the Skylark race next, we can aim higher!
Impressive for our first IG-1 season, right?
But we can't win the title.
To win the title, we need to beat Cunningham.
Yeah, I want to be strong.
Liz, it's up to you.
You're the team representative.
I'm going out to win.
Still in... Still in!
Edgeraid's Bullitt wins!
What was that?
It's against the rules, isn't it?
Whoa, this is Bushido spirit.
It's Bushido!
Are you happy now?
You judged well.
I'm certain she'll bring Mark to me.
You're quite an actor.
I'm better, though.
You want to go so far to bring him back?
You don't understand.
Yes, it's me.
Yes, that's right. I have it.
She was hospitalized today.
Where?
I'm back now!
Later.
Sorry, you were on the phone?
Yeah.
Do you want coffee?
Yeah.
Poor Mark.
Tricked by the father he trusts.
Oh, no, um...
I'm kidding.
Yes?
It's me.
About tomorrow's business dinner...
Thanks for waiting, all.
Here's champion Velshtein's Cunningham!
What a distinctive, regal run.
That's Cunningham for you!
Oh, man!
I shouldn't have entered arm wrestling.
You volunteered.
Because I couldn't enter attack!
I see.
Takeshi, you entered, so you're aiming for first, right?
Well, today's a test run for the machine, so I'm not sure...
I swear.
Show more spirit! You're the team representative!
The time was...
W-What's this? 7 minutes and 52.19 seconds, a course record!
Seeing that run doesn't fire you up?
My spirits aren't down, but...
...Cunningham's overpowering.
He's collected a total of 187,571 votes!
That's our "king," Cunningham!
What are you so depressed for?
Nothing...
Takeshi, it's almost time to stand by.
Takeshi!
If you get serious, you'll beat that time easily, won't you?
It's impossible in test mode.
You can make it happen.
It's not like you to compare and get depressed.
A man's about guts.
A heart's heat.
Thanks, Liz.
For what?
Why is it that you haven't gone home for so long?
I've been busy.
That's true.
It's been hectic since we advanced to IG-1.
Um...
Mark, tell me the test mode's special traits in detail.
Seeing Cunningham's run fired me up.
I'll also do a proper test run, but I want to win!
All right.
The test mode focuses on the stability of the lower body.
I'll increase speed and stability...
...in both the battle and standard modes later.
I'll give it a try.
First comes a performance run.
All tests must be done in the first two laps.
The final lap's attack is the key...
Please come in.
Oh, so many monitors.
Which should I watch?
That one, sir.
Many to choose from.
It's certainly stable.
But the speed may be the same as before...
Can't stay balanced!
Whoa, Team Satomi is unstable!
Were there tune-up problems?
Mark doesn't make mistakes.
It seems his run is rough.
It can't be helped in test mode.
Mark, the body veers to the left!
Can you do anything?
It's the last lap and start of the time attack!
Mark!
Takeshi, to tell the truth, there's one more mode installed.
But it's still being tested...
Is it fast?
It might be risky.
Mark, stop.
An accident would be terrible.
It'll be fine.
I trust the machine Mark tuned up.
Mark, don't be reckless.
Mark.
Here we go.
You idiot! Stop it already!
Mark!
Lap two's up-down had a balance loss, but this was smooth!
He's fast! He's under Cunningham's top time so far!
If he keeps it up, he'll break the course record!
Watch out...
He went astray at the end, but what's his time?
Takeshi, I'm sorry.
Mark, it was awesome. I got unbelievable speed.
But still...
Thanks.
The end was fun.
I pushed you hard, and you didn't win.
Sorry.
Not winning is my fault.
Thanks for trusting me and switching modes.
Thank you.
The votes are in.
Whoa, what's this?
The total is 203,752.
It's the highest count, beating Cunningham's votes!
Takeshi believes in you, Mark.
It was a great challenge.
Did machine trouble cause the last corner stray?
It's a shame.
I goofed today...
...but I'm sure I'll be in the best condition in the next race.
I look forward to it, too.
I believe in Team Satomi!
It seems Mark has a good team.
You honestly knew it too, right?
Mark's already found a place he belongs.
I know.
He's waiting for the right time to come home.
Enough acting, honey...
Honey...
Honey.
What?
I have no regrets, but still...
I'm disappointed with myself.
These are VIP seats.
Can you come here without permission?
You don't have time to keep me company, do you?
I didn't come because I had time to kill.
You were amazing today.
You had the top time till the last corner.
Till the last corner...
You were cooler than everyone.
Bad time, though.
It's not the time.
It's the guts.
I'm sorry I haven't come until now.
Are you okay?
I guess not.
Mom, you just work too much.
I know.
I need to come home and help you with your work.
I've continued as a mechanic because of my stupid pride.
I'll come home.
But I have friends who are waiting for me.
So I won't help you with your work.
I love my job now... and Team Satomi.
Thanks for the lucky charms.
They're a little heavy, though.
See you.
Honestly. I thought it would work.
Overwork was a lie. Your father and I came up with it.
But I made a small change and tricked your father, too.
I knew it all.
You lost weight.
Come home starting next month.
I'll compromise a bit.
You've matured.
Thanks to the lucky charms.
Mark.
Here's the lucky charm version.
What's this about?
I'm saying it wasn't my idea to ally with Satomi Heavy Industries.
Sir, you can't...
It came from above.
It was really a bolt out of the blue.
Think about it. There's no merit to it for us.
The only benefit would've been for the name Satomi.
I'm sorry, Mark.
I had no idea.
It's all right.
I needed this chance.
I'm glad your mother is well.
I wonder what they're doing with the booked VIP room.
It's not that the company needs Mark.
It's that you need your son.
There's a place that serves delicious coffee.
Let's go there next time.
Yeah.
The orange-colored sunset...
...dyes the colors of the scenery.
Soon night will fall.
It's a little chilly, isn't it?
Frustrations of today.
Sadness and quietly concealed tears.
All will change into tomorrow's radiance.
Don't worry.
I'll hug you tightly, tightly.
It'll be fine.
Keep believing in your feelings.
I'll smile more and more for you.
Though this is all I can do.
I want to be by your side even so.
I whisper in my heart, "I love you."
