To be honest, I'm surprised.
Really?
This is the first tunnel to be created by Yamato Construction.
We started the road construction to connect with you.
But we didn't think the tunnel would be completed in time.
We, at Yamamoto Road, were expecting to make a loss.
I'm glad to receive the approval of the Project Manager of Yamamoto Road.
But...we can't let ourselves be too confident yet.
We're about to start tunneling through the difficult section.
- What's that? - Earthquake!
No. This isn't just a small tremor.
Get clear! It's collapsing!
Hey, this is going to get worse.
Siren! Sound the siren!
The tunnel is collapsing! Get up!
Where?
Two hundred meters inside.
Shit!
What's it like inside?
I don't know.
What are we going to do? What should we do?
Hey, you! It's dangerous!
I nearly get there, Then I lose my confidence.
I look at the sky and wonder, Will I get to where my dreams come true?
Life used to be so easy for me, And now time is running out.
I left my mistakes behind me, Because I wanted to change.
But I haven't changed.
I built a rainbow over the thunder clouds, And time and space, and I started to run.
I'll climb that rainbow to a world beyond, Where my heart will learn to sing.
And I will come to see tomorrow.
I can flow,
I can go endlessly.
If I find my peck of courage in time and space,
I will start walking again.
KINTARO FOLLOWS THROUGH
Are you still angry?
Of course.
With me, or Kin-chan?
Both!
It's been ages since I traveled with you, mama! I'm happy!
Mimi?
If you steal Kin-chan... I'll commit suicide.
What?
Quick! Reinforce it! Get going!
Higuchi!
Wh...what?
Are you trying to take advantage of the confusion to kill me?
Stop! I'm sorry! I won't oppose you from now on!
Shut up!
Please help! Don't kill me!
I told you to shut up!
Why? Why are you helping me?
You're going to die. Leave me alone and save yourself!
Get smart! Worry about yourself before anyone else!
Kin-san!
Kizu! Give me a hand!
Hey, Kizu!
Wake up!
Pull yourself together.
Quick. Let's push this up together.
Higuchi!
Watch out! Up there!
This dust...
Shit! The tunnel's collapsed!
Don't !
Don't go inside! Check the state of the inside first!
If you go now, we'll have a further disaster.
Who are they? Which team is inside now?
Team three, Ishiyamas'.
Hey, someone's coming out!
Kintaro!
Higuchi! How is it inside?
There hasn't been a cave-in yet. We were just about able to get out.
Yamauchi! Okada!
Bring as many props as possible!
We need props and then we need to stabilize them with re-enforcing bars.
All right! Team four, follow me!
What about the injured?
Matsumoto! Twelve or thirteen people are trapped inside!
Get them out right now! Call for ambulances!
If there aren't enough, bring in minibuses!
Group one and two!
Find where the water's coming from and pump water to the byroad!
What if there's a cave-in?
I told you we can still make it!
If there's any sign of one, get out straightaway! I can't let anyone die at this site!
If someone dies, I'll die with them! Don't hang about!
Get going!
Kin-san!
Water! Water's coming in!
Give us two or three props!
Shit!
- We've rescued another one! - How many have we found so far?
Three! There's another one!
We've stopped the leaks!
Spray and harden!
You're in the way!
Keep at it!
By the way, wasn't Kintaro-san in the office?
- That means? - He was the first to risk going into the tunnel!
Hey! Let's carry these panels in!
Mama, what's happening?
Kin-chan.
Hey, are you OK? Are you OK? Hey!
Stopped! It's stopped!
The water's subsided too!
Everyone who was buried has been found!
Good! We can make it!
Please tell team one and two to stay here!
Mama!
Hey!
Oh, Kin-chan!
I love you! I love you very much, Kin-chan!
What are you doing here?
I heard that you were injured.
There doesn't seem to be time for that.
It's dangerous here.
Please wait in the office.
Kin-chan!
Everyone except team three, work all night! We need to reinforce and repair the damage.
If the accident response time had been slower, a roof fall would have happened.
It was two hundred meters inside.
That would have meant delays of up to three months.
And several people might have died.
Brilliant!
It was just brilliant the way he took the lead.
You have a good employee. Which university did he go to?
Biker Gang High School.
Eh?
The University of Motorcycles.
Don't make a scene.
Hey...isn't that...
I thought so.
What?
The younger one is the girl.
What?
Wise up!
What would bring the famous Suenaga Mimi to a place like this?
No way!
It's her. No doubt.
Excuse me, but are you Suenaga Misuzu, who used to be in Mukoujima, by any chance?
Yes.
I'm the sumo wrestler Tenpuuzan Shingo.
The late Mr. Kuroda looked after me because I'm from the same part of the country as him.
Tenpuuzan? Are you that Shin-chan?
Yes.
I've not seen you since Mr. Kuroda's funeral.
Oh, it's good to see you again!
Mimi, he's the sumo wrestler who used to carry you when you were little.
I don't remember.
I remember it like it was yesterday.
You look a mess!
Do I smell?
No. Cool!
See you later, Shin-shan! Talk to you later.
I look forward to it.
Mama!
What was that?
How are they related to Kin-san?
Are you better Kin-chan?
They seem like lovers.
Do you think Japan is sick these days?
Huh?
With the dreaded Salaryman Syndrome.
Salaryman Syndrome?
Salarymen live in organizations.
They lose their identities in organizations,
hiding amongst the crowd so they don't have to take responsibility as individuals.
They stay safe and try not to stand out and lose their place in the hierarchy.
Bureaucracies, politicians and the mass media are affected by it.
Is this how a nation, that made itself rich in only half a century, did it?
Are you saying that this young man is different?
I don't know.
What I can say is that the man doesn't hide himself away to protect his position.
Anyway, you showed me something I like.
Thank you for coming.
Kin-chan?
What?
We're staying at the hotel in front of the station.
Why don't you come? There's a bath.
Don't be silly! Kin-chan is working all night tonight!
But...
Why don't you come for a quick shower, then?
He doesn't have time for that either! Do you?
No.
It's a shame I can't spend time with you after you came all the way to see me.
I told you!
Aren't you disappointed?
It can't be helped you know?
Is she...?
No way.
His girlfriend?
Is Kin-san really a new recruit?
It's hard to believe.
The way he took the lead in the recent emergency.
If he was new to the game...
There's no way he could have done it.
Until four or five o'clock, every morning.
What?
What are you saying?
He's been reading books and diaries about tunnel construction accidents,
and how to manage them.
I've brought him rice balls and tea a few times.
I see.
She's the woman I always adored.
I've had it.
I must admit that I'm completely eclipsed by this man.
We're through!
We bored through 500 meters!
Don't be stupid. There's two more weeks to the completion date.
Shit! It's done!
It's done on time!
Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi!
YAMATO CONSTRUCTION
PRESIDENT'S OFFICE
What do you mean?
Although it was an agreement with the former President, it was unreasonable.
You're refunding it?
We'll go bankrupt if I refund you now.
But I'll work hard to refund you.
I ask you to trust me with this slip of paper, but I'll leave it up to you.
My true motive is, well...
...I'm a different man and I would like to work for Yamato Construction again.
I understand.
Please work for us again.
Thank you!
I'll be able to sleep more peacefully now that I've heard those words.
Fine.
I've learned my lesson.
And so have I.
Excuse me.
About Tadokoro, who worked in the office at Mt. Kousen tunnel and committed suicide.
So there was a suicide note.
Yes.
His family thought it would disadvantage the insurance claim,
if it was known that he was concerned about his health, so they hid this.
But anyway, there's no way that the workmen's compensation insurance will make a payment.
It says that he was diagnosed with gastric cancer.
It says that there was a 90% chance of recovery, if he had an operation...
...but it's thought that the deadlock at the site, along with other troubles, caused him to do it.
I see.
Tell the family not to worry about compensation,
we'll do our best with the company insurance.
Yes.
Kurokawa.
Oh, Mr. Chairman.
Excuse me.
Congratulations on the completion of the Mt. Kousen tunnel.
I'm glad it was on time.
I saw photos of the ceremony to celebrate the completion.
And these were mixed in with them.
Oh, these.
What happened?
It was when we were about to toast.
Suddenly, Kintaro said...
Well, I'd like to ask Mr. Motomiya, Vice President of Construction, to propose a toast.
Before the toast, there are some unfinished things to attend to.
A girl named Ishii, who worked at the workmen's shack, visited me last night.
And I was asked to return this 3000 yen.
Yamauchi! Kizu! Higuchi!
You remember the first time we met, don't you?
You were by a woodland path.
Don't try to escape!
Keep it, Yoshie.
Come to the workmen's shack tomorrow as usual.
Nobody need know.
It must be tough getting your nose smashed, when all you're doing is buying what you want.
It doesn't matter if you buy a woman for 3000 or 30,000 yen. It depends on what you want.
Kin-san, I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
I'm really sorry.
Sorry?
Don't say the word so easily!
If you're sorry, you should be ready to pay for it with your life!
Kin-san, you rescued me from the earth and the sand at the accident, didn't you?
Shut up! That was a different story!
Wh...what?
Hey, what's happening?
Put yourselves in the girl's place! Assholes!
Hey, why doesn't the President stop him?
Stop it, Kin-san! Not at this sort of occasion!
There's no reason to stop him.
I heard the story for the first time last night.
I was going to beat them to within an inch of their lives when the ceremony was over.
Please forgive them, Kin-san. It's all because of my poor supervision.
Please beat me instead!
Is it true that it got no further than an attempt?
Yes, that's true. Sorry!
We really are sorry!
I heard that the guys who were beaten up,
were sorry from the bottom of their hearts and bear no grudge.
That's what we did to celebrate the completion, is it?
I wonder what the guests thought.
Is he a double-edged sword?
Can he not think first before he acts?
Indeed.
Papa.
Ryuta.
What?
Shall we play together?
What about your study?
I need to take a break sometimes.
Papa! It's papa!
- Ryu! - Papa!
Have you been looking after yourself?
Papa!
Oh! You've become a little heavier, Ryu.
After climbing up a long road,
The lights of the city flicker in the distance.
I realize why I look up at the sky,
And the dream I had that day comes into my mind.
I've kept searching for what never changes, And I've reached my goal at last.
It's you, in my arms, That will change everything in heaven.
We'll start walking together, Our long way journey to heaven.
As long as it's true that we're together again, I don't need anything else in heaven.
