[00:11] (Flashback) Yamagami
    Please stay calm.
[00:13] (Flashback) Yamagami
    One of our squad members has
    gone in to disconnect it.
[00:16] (Flashback) Yamagami
    Thanks to you coming home, we now know
    where the junction box is located.
[00:22] (Flashback) Yamagami
    It will be okay.
[00:24] Yamagami(m)
    As long as she has evacuated
    to a dry spot...
[00:28] Yamagami(m)
    The solar panel cables caught fire
    and melted their insulation,
[00:33] Yamagami(m)
    causing arcs of electricity to shoot out.
[00:37] (Flashback) Yamagami
    It will be fine.
[00:40] Yamgami(m)
    Toake's got this.
[00:58] (Flashback) Shun(m)
    Daigo...
[01:03] Daigo(M)
    It's a bigger space than I thought.
[01:06] Daigo(M)
    I know roughly where the box is,
    but I can't waste any time.
[01:10] Daigo(M)
    I need to disconnect it fast.
[01:12] Daigo(M)
    Please...
[01:19] Daigo(M)
    Be somewhere that's been
    untouched by the water...
[01:41] Daigo(M)
    Please have found that spot...
[01:50] Daigo(M)
    Please be alive.
[02:05] (Flashback) Daigo
    Junction box, located!
[02:38] (Flashback) Daigo
    I've finished disconnecting the junction box!
[02:45] Daigo(m)
    She's small, and if she got electrocuted,
[02:47] Daigo(m)
    she wouldn't stand a chance.
[02:50] Daigo(m)
    Please be alive.
[02:53] (Flashback) Daigo(m)
    Mei!
[02:55] Daigo(m)
    Please!
[02:58] (Flashback) Daigo(m)
    Mei.
[02:59] (Flashback) Daigo(m)
    Mei!
[03:13] (Flashback) Daigo(m)
    Mei. You're Mei, right?
[03:27] (Flashback) Daigo(m)
    You survived. Good job!
[03:36] (Flashback) Igusa
    Mei!
[03:40] (Flashback) Igusa
    Thank you so much!
[03:44] (Flashback) Igusa
    I can't believe this...
[03:46] (Flashback) Igusa
    She's incredibly shy.
[03:48] (Flashback) Igusa
    She never comes out for a
     person she doesn't know.
[03:54] (Flashback) Igusa
    Which is why we didn't dare to hope...
[03:57] (Flashback) Wife
    Thank you so much for
    going this far to save our pet.
[04:01] (Flashback) Wife
    You firefighters are so...
[04:06] (Flashback) Daigo
    Anybody would have done the same.
[04:07] (Flashback) Daigo
    To our community, pets are
    also priceless treasures.
[04:16] Shun(m)
    Grandma, I think I had a wrong idea.
[04:22] Shun(m)
    It doesn't matter if it's
    a human or an animal.
[04:24] Shun(m)
    He wants to save them.
[04:26] Shun(m)
    I think that's how he's always been.
[04:36] Shun(m)
    He must be just like me.

[07:23] Manager
    This is unacceptable.

    That fire happened in the afternoon, and the

    How are you approaching this situation?
[08:53] Yurie
    I'd like to make an

[08:54] Guy3
    Please wait, Fire Lieutenant Sato.
[08:57] Guy3
    That'll bring up manufacturer

    We don't have an internal

    Oh, excuse me.
[09:11] Yurie
    Yes?
[09:12] Yurie
    Hello, this is Sato.
[09:15] Yurie
    I've been waiting to hear from you!
[09:23] Yurie
    Fire Sergeant Mochizuki, please hurry.
[09:25] Mochizuki
    Sorry.
[09:32] Yurie
    Did you watch the World Cup?
[09:34] Mochizuki
    Hm?
[09:35] Yurie
    I don't know anything about soccer,
[09:38] Yurie
    but I still watched all of Japan's matches.
[09:42] Yurie
    If I was on duty, I watched them later.
[09:44] Yurie
    I was captivated.

    We need heroes.

    Our division head is
    losing sight of the goal
[09:52] Yurie
    of putting out those five syllables.
[09:55] Yurie
    At the bottom of it all,
    we have just one mission.

    I had a divine revelation!
[10:05] Mochizuki
    Sato.
[10:19] Igusa
    I'm sorry it took me so
    long to get back to you.
[10:23] Mrs Igusa
    We've finally adjusted to
    the temporary housing.
[10:26] Yurie
    I'm told your home will
    be back to normal next month.
[10:29] Yurie
    That's good news.
[10:31] Igusa
    It is.
[10:32] Mrs. Igusa
    We have you all to thank.
[10:36] Igusa
    Here's a video I took this morning.
[10:42] Yurie
    She's so cute!
[10:46] Yurie
    I can tell she's sleepy, but still wants to
     spend time with Mommy and Daddy!
[10:51] Yurie
    I can't even... That's lovely!
[10:55] Both
    Right?
[10:58] Yurie
    I guess Mei-chan's not
    going to come out now.
[11:01] Igusa
    Probably not.
[11:21] Mrs. Igusa
    Mei?
[11:26] Igusa
    I'm really surprised.
[11:28] Igusa
    She came out for that rescuer,
     and now you, too.
[11:32] Igusa
    Maybe you have calming voices?
[11:34] Yurie
    Oh, I don't think so.
[11:38] Both
    So cute!
[11:42] Igusa
    Maybe you young people can't understand it...
[11:46] Igusa
    What loss means at our age...
[12:02] Yurie
    Even if it was for our community's
    priceless treasures,
[12:05] Yurie
    I heard that Fuwa Rescue pulled off
    a pretty dangerous rescue.
[12:09] Yurie
    But...
[12:10] Mochizuki
    They did a great job.

    Can you please edit the video we

    Is this what you had in mind when you

    Yes.

    A non-endorsed use of respirators...
[14:07] Yurie
    The privacy of the rescuees...
[14:12] Yurie
    There are many reasons why we haven't been
     able to publicize what they've done yet.
[14:22] Yurie
    But people are drawn to other people.
[14:26] Yurie
    That's why we need heroes.
[14:29] Yurie
    I mean, don't you think it's scary?

    In the last ten years, with our aging
    population and declining birthrates,

    I've noticed.

    In the future, war will be fought by
    drones and other unmanned machines.

    But firefighting and rescue...

    Our job is simply...

    to get them out.

    Yes.
[15:35] Yurie
    It's getting them out.
