[00:01] rep     This being the first civilian     Antarctic expedition, [00:04] rep     some are saying that this brings     Antarctica closer to the average person. [00:08] taka     Now that Syowa Station has been     transferred to civilian ownership, [00:11] taka     I believe there will be more     chances for things like that. [00:14] man     Do you intend to continue     doing research like this? [00:17] taka     Of course. [00:19] taka     Even having become civilians, [00:21] taka     we'd like to keep sending expeditions     and doing observation... [00:28] taka     We want everyone to learn about     the wonders of Antarctica.

[09:41] hina     Um... could we ask an awkward question? [09:45] kana     Can we really get to Antarctica? [09:47] yuzu     Yes. [09:49] kana     Of course we will! [09:51] kana     After all, Antarctica's not going anywhe— [09:53] hina     Please, spare us. [10:00] kana     Well, I don't know where you heard about it, [10:03] kana     but I understand the nerves. [10:05] kana     We have so few people and supplies... [10:08] kana     Since we're civilians,     we've had to make lots of cuts. [10:11] yuzu     So it's true... [10:12] kana     But... [10:14] kana     as I said before,     there's no way we're not going. [10:18] kana     We've made all the necessary preparations. SIGN    First Civilian     Antarctic Expedition [10:20] kana     And we've taken unprecedented     precautions with safety, too. [10:25] kana     And most importantly, [10:28] kana     the people on this ship are determined to go. [10:35] shira     Determined... [10:37] kana     Antarctica is an unforgiving place. [10:41] kana     Blizzards blow at minus dozens of degrees. [10:45] kana     The air is so dry that     your lips chap and bleed. [10:49] kana     The sunlight is harsh, so if you forget     sunblock, you can really get burned. [10:54] kana     There's no Internet,     and no places to have fun. [10:57] kana     And yet, we're going. [10:59] kana     Preparing little by little     over three years' time... [11:03] mari     Why are you going? [11:05] kana     Good question. [11:07] kana     If I had to put it into words... [11:10] kana     This time, it's to see the sky, I suppose. [11:15] mari     The sky? [11:16] kana     Yes... [11:18] kana     The sky. [11:28] mari     What do you think? [11:30] shira     I don't know. [11:31] shira     She sounded honest, but also     like she was hiding something. [11:35] yuzu     She was absolutely hiding something! [11:37] hina     You think so? [11:38] yuzu     She said it herself! They're "determined"! [11:41] yuzu     They must have a serious reason! [11:43] hina     The sky, huh? I wonder what that meant! [11:46] kima     No way to find out, I guess... [11:47] hina     Yeah. No matter how we try to press it, [11:50] hina     when an adult says something like that... [11:53] yuzu     We must investigate! [11:56] hina     Which way do we go? [11:59] hina     Good thing we're all on the same page. [12:04] nobu     Don't be like that! [12:05] nobu     You're the one who told me to go, Yu-kun! [12:09] nobu     Why? Please! [12:12] nobu     Yes, I do want to go home! [12:13] nobu     You know I want to see you, Yu-kun! [12:16] nobu     I don't even know if this     expedition is gonna work out... [12:20] nobu     I'm telling you, I love you! [12:22] nobu     I've told you I love you so many times! [12:22] shi     Nobue-san! [12:24] shi     We're going out for a drink! [12:26] nobu     Seriously, why does it have to be like that? [12:28] shi     Okay... [12:29] nobu     Is the fact that I love you not enough? [12:33] shi     That's true, only two days     left for short sleeves... [12:36] hona     Yeah! [12:38] hona     I'll have a Kahlua! [12:40] shi     I wonder if they have cocktails... [12:42] yume     So, what did you want? [12:44] shi     Well, I was thinking... [12:45] shi     I think the project itself     might not be possible. [12:49] yume     That's your personal opinion, right? [12:52] yume     The actual details haven't     even been decided yet. [12:56] yume     There's not really anything we can say yet. [12:58] hona     That's our Yume-chan... [13:01] shi     You're already sloshed... [13:03] yume     Gonna carry her back? [13:04] shi     Hell no! [13:05] shi     All of us crammed in together,     I'd never hear the end of it! [13:09] shi     Let's get back to the plan! [13:11] yume     Concretely speaking, [13:12] yume     what we're doing right now isn't     part of the official plan. [13:16] yume     In other words, that's an     extremely distant goal. [13:19] shi     But the commander and Kanae-san     are obsessed with it, right? [13:23] yume     That's incorrect. [13:26] yume     The other members are obsessed with it, too. [13:28] shi     That makes it even more— [13:29] hona     You sayin' you're 'gainst it, huh? [13:32] shi     That's not it. I just... [13:34] hona     A real man wouldn't grumble 'bout everythin'! [13:37] shi     Shut up! [13:40] shi     What's wrong? [13:41] hona     High school girls in masks! [13:45] shi     Where? [13:48] yuzu     I told you! I told you! [13:50] hina     You don't have to say it twice. [13:52] yuzu     They have some amazing plan     they haven't told anyone about! [13:56] kima     But what could it be? [13:58] hina     You think... [14:04] hina     Antarctic People! [14:08] kima     Nice one! [14:09] hina     Perfect timing! [14:10] yuzu     Please, take this seriously! [14:12] yuzu     What if they're planning something awful? [14:15] yuzu     They could force us to go along with it... [14:19] hina     But thinking won't get us anywhere. [14:21] yuzu     Even so... [14:23] shira     We'll have to talk to Kanae-san     one more time tomorrow... [14:26] kima     Shirase-chan, that's my plushy. [14:32] kima     What's that? [14:35] yuzu     Glow-in-the-dark paint! [14:38] hina     Shirase. [14:39] hina     Wanna sleep here? [14:44] kima     You think Shirase-chan's mother did that? [14:48] hina     Maybe so. [14:52] kana     If I had to put it into words... [14:54] kana     This time, it's to see the sky, I suppose. [15:06] shira     A place more distant than the universe. [15:09] shira     It's not a prison, a place trapped in ice. [15:15] shira     It's a place, still unopened, [15:18] shira     yet filled with possibilities, [15:20] shira     Earth's greatest treasure chest. [15:32] gin     Want to look? [15:38] gin     I think we all got a little     too worked up to do it. [15:43] (Flashback) gin     As civilians? [15:44] (Flashback) kana     Yeah! After the new ship is finished, [15:47] (Flashback) kana     they'll be deployed to the new station, [15:49] (Flashback) kana     and the current ship and Syowa Station [15:52] (Flashback) kana     will be transferred to civilian ownership. [15:54] (Flashback) taka     You mean... [15:55] (Flashback) kana     We can become the first civilian team— [15:58] (Flashback) taka     Let's do it! [15:58] (Flashback) both     That was fast! [16:00] gin     The ship and the station     were both hand-me-downs, [16:03] gin     but we were so excited. [16:05] gin     There are almost no civilian     stations anywhere in the world, [16:09] gin     so we came up with all kinds of plans,     gathered all kinds of researchers... [16:14] gin     We all wanted to make it a success. [16:19] gin     Because we knew that this journey,     this road that we paved, [16:23] gin     would continue on into the future. [16:26] gin     That's why... [16:28] (Flashback) kana     An astronomical observatory? [16:29] (Flashback) gin     The plan's been out there for a while. [16:32] (Flashback) gin     I'd heard they were building     one at the new station, too. [16:35] (Flashback) taka     That's all the more reason! [16:37] (Flashback) taka     We might not be able to rival     their scale and amenities, [16:40] (Flashback) taka     but I think being able to do the     same research as the new station [16:43] (Flashback) taka     is the most important thing we can     do as civilians in the future! [16:49] (Flashback) gin     Yes... [16:50] (Flashback) kana     As good publicity, then? [16:58] gin     She was probably hoping to find     something worthwhile somewhere. [17:03] gin     Even though she knew that feeling     could be very dangerous. [17:08] gin     Somewhere out there... [17:10] (Flashback) gin     Takako! [17:14] gin     When we came home, we found a     harsh reality waiting for us. [17:19] gin     Sponsors, afraid of the damage     to their image, withdrew one after another. [17:24] gin     And the next expedition was     indefinitely postponed, [17:27] gin     and the winter mission was withdrawn. [17:29] shira     I know that. [17:31] gin     But we hadn't changed at all. [17:35] gin     Three years ago, in the place     we discovered with Takako... [17:38] gin     with your mother, we would some     day look at the stars again. [17:43] gin     It didn't matter if it     took ten years or twenty. [17:47] gin     And it wasn't just us. [17:49] gin     Most of the members who were with us     three years ago are here again now. [17:54] gin     Our budget has been mostly stripped away,     and we'll get almost no compensation, [17:57] gin     and there are some of us who won't have     anything waiting for us when we return. [18:02] gin     And yet we all came here. [18:04] gin     And yet we're all still here. [18:07] gin     That's the kind of ship this is. [18:14] taka     Hey, Gin. Want to go to Antarctica? [18:17] gin     Huh? Antarctica? [18:20] gin     Why do you ask? [18:21] taka     You know, I... [18:23] taka     I just... [18:25] taka     love leaving my footprints in fresh snow!
