    It perfectly illustrates the ancient
    Romans' attitude and philosophy toward...
[00:13] Official
    What's the purpose of your visit?
[00:18] Haruka
    What is he saying?
[00:21] Rin
    Sightseeing.
[00:27] Haruka
    Hey!
[00:35] Haruka
    Hey! Where do you plan on taking me?
[00:39] Rin
    You'll find out if you follow me.
[00:40] Rin
    That's our bus. We're getting on.
[00:42] Rin
    Hurry up!
[00:44] Haruka
    Wait! Hey!
SIGN    Strawberry Au Lait
[02:27] Box
    What?!
SIGN    A Swim-Off in a Foreign Land!
[02:29] Nagisa
    Haru-chan went to Australia?!
[02:31] Rei
    I don't understand.
[02:33] Rei
    Why did Rin-san suddenly decide to go back?
[02:36] Makoto
    I did talk to Rin about the situation with Haru.
[02:40] Makoto
    But I never imagined he would
    take him to Australia...
[02:44] Rei
    What could he possibly be hoping to achieve?
[02:46] Makoto
    Who can say?
[02:49] Makoto
    I don't know that, either.
[02:52] Makoto
    But I do believe this trip
    will be something special
[02:57] ---
    for Haru.
[03:01] Nagisa
    I hope Haru-chan will come back feeling better.
[03:32] Haruka
    Rin?
[03:37] Haruka
    Hey...
[03:39] Haruka
    Rin!
[03:40] Rin
    Haru.
[03:44] Rin
    I bought us some drinks.
[03:46] Rin
    Something wrong?
[03:49] Haruka
    Don't just run off like that.
[03:54] Rin
    Sorry.
[04:04] Rin
    Sorry for what I said at the tournament, too.
[04:07] Rin
    Don't you have a dream?!
[04:10] Haruka
    You're the one who doesn't understand!
[04:12] Rin
    I ignored how you felt
[04:15] ---
    and just forced my own feelings on you.
[04:20] Rin
    I'm sorry.
[04:24] Rin
    But I do want you to understand this.
[04:27] Rin
    I've always
[04:29] Rin
    admired you.
[04:35] Rin
    Now I feel better!
[04:37] Rin
    Wanna get going?
[04:39] Haruka
    Where?
[04:43] Rin
    You don't have to look so worried.
[04:45] Rin
    I brought you to Australia
    because there's something
[04:48] ---
    I absolutely have to show you.
[04:51] Rin
    But that's for tomorrow.
[04:53] Rin
    Today, our first stop is...
[05:04] Rin
    What do you think?
[05:06] Rin
    I figured a place where you could see
    the ocean would help you relax.
[05:18] Rin
    Let's go in.
[05:20] Haruka
    I don't feel like it.
[05:23] Rin
    What?
[05:25] Rin
    Who is it that's usually so quick
    to start taking his clothes off?
[05:28] Haruka
    Shut up...
[05:31] Rin
    I was sure you'd never agree to this trip.
[05:34] Rin
    But you really came along.
[05:36] Rin
    Did something happen?
[05:37] Haruka
    No.
[05:39] Haruka
    I just don't want to be
    over there right now.
[05:42] Rin
    Did you and Makoto
    have a fight or something?
[05:46] Rin
    Bingo, huh?
[05:48] Rin
    It's just one little fight.
[05:50] Rin
    Sousuke and I fight all the time.
[05:53] ---
    Ah, cold...
[05:55] Haruka
    It was my...
[05:58] Haruka
    first fight.
[06:03] Rin
    That reminds me.
[06:04] Rin
    So Makoto finally decided on
    his post-graduation plans.
[06:10] Rin
    He said he wanted to tell
    you as soon as possible.
[06:15] Rin
    Doesn't just looking at the ocean
    like this make you feel calm?
[06:20] Rin
    When I first came to this country,
[06:22] ---
    looking at the ocean just relaxed me somehow.
[06:28] Rin
    I talked big before I left Japan,
[06:32] Rin
    but honestly, I was really anxious at first.
[06:39] Rin
    A country I didn't know.
[06:41] Rin
    A city I didn't know.
[06:43] Rin
    I didn't even know the language.
[06:46] Russell
    Welcome, Rin.
[06:48] Russell
    We're glad you're staying with us.
[06:51] Russell
    Here, hop inside the car, son.
[06:55] Rin
    Even though I'd known all that
    from the start, of course.
[07:02] Rin
    But when I came here and
    saw the ocean, I felt calmer.
[07:05] Rin
    Because I knew that just beyond
    it, you and Sousuke were there.
[07:08] Rin
    My friends were there.
[07:11] Rin
    I felt like it connected me to you guys.
[07:18] Rin
    You know, I've never really
    told you about my time
[07:22] ---
    in Australia, have I?
[07:25] Rin
    My name is Rin Matsuoka!
[07:28] Rin
    Name sound like girl, but I am boy!
[07:32] Rin
    Nice to meet you!
[07:33] Rin
    Please!
[07:38] Rin
    Huh?
[07:42] Rin
    I had a homestay and went to school here.
[07:45] Teacher
    One of my favorite sayings is,
    "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

[07:49] Rin
    In the beginning, I could
    barely understand English
[07:52] ---
    and had a pretty tough time.
[07:53] Rin
    Uh, so, my school have big sakura tree!
[07:58] Rin
    You understand?
[08:00] Rin
    Sakura... Cherry blossom?
[08:03] Rin
    Sakura...
[08:05] Rin
    I went to school during the day,
[08:07] ---
    and afterward, I'd go to train under my coach.
[08:12] Coach
    Rin, they want you in the water.
[08:13] Rin
    There were amazing swimmers
    from around the world there.
[08:26] Rin
    I learned that even if I was fairly fast in Japan,
[08:28] ---
    it didn't mean much at all here.
[08:31] Rin
    It was the first time I'd hit a wall.
[08:36] Rin
    The more I swam, the more I saw
[08:37] ---
    how big a gap there was
     between me and the others.
[08:40] Rin
    Was this really all the strength I had?
[08:42] Rin
    No matter how hard I tried,
    was it useless against these prodigies?
[08:45] Rin
    Were my dreams only dreams?
[08:47] Haruka
    I've heard enough.
[08:50] Haruka
    I get that while I stayed in Iwatobi,
[08:52] ---
    you saw all kinds of things and
    had all kinds of experiences.
[08:59] Rin
    There's one more place I want to stop by.
[09:04] Lori
    Oh, my goodness! It's Rin!
[09:06] Lori
    Welcome back!
[09:07] Russell
    How have you been, son?
[09:09] Russell
    How are things back in Japan?
[09:10] Rin
    I've been doing well, Russell!
[09:13] Lori
    My, how you've grown!
[09:15] Rin
    That's because I've been swimming every day.
[09:17] Russell
    Every day?
[09:18] Russell
    You love it that much?
[09:20] Rin
    Yes!
[09:22] Russell
    Still swimming with that old mate of yours?
[09:24] Lori
    Oh, you're talking about his friend Haruka!
[09:27] Russell
    Haru?
[09:27] Lori
    Rin, is that your friend Haru?
[09:30] Rin
    Yeah.
[09:31] Rin
    Haru!
[09:32] Rin
    Don't just stand there. Get over here!
[09:34] Rin
    These were my homestay
    parents, Russell and Lori.
[09:39] Haru
    Rin! You know I can't—
[09:41] Russell
    G'day, Haru!
[09:43] Russell
    I'm Russell. Glad to know you.
[09:45] Lori
    And I'm Lori.
[09:47] Lori
    Rin's told us all about you.
[09:49] Haruka
    Nice to meet you.
[09:51] Haruka
    My name is Haruka Nanase.
[09:58] Rin
    Looks like Winnie likes you, too!
[10:04] Lori
    Welcome to Australia, Haru!
[10:06] Russell
    Welcome, Haru!
[10:12] Lori
    Dinner's ready, Haru!
[10:13] Lori
    Please come in.
[10:16] Lori
    Please start.
[10:17] Lori
    Have as much as you like!
[10:22] Haruka
    Thank you.
[10:23] Lori
    Haru's just as you described him, Rin.
[10:26] Lori
    A cool attitude and eyes clear as water!
[10:29] Russell
    You're right, love.
[10:31] Rin
    She said you have a cool attitude
    and eyes clear as water.
[10:34] Russell
    Rin says you only swim free.
[10:37] Russell
    Haru, you only swim free?
[10:41] Haruka
    Y-Yes...
[10:43] Lori
    So it's true.
[10:44] Haruka
    How do they know that?
[10:45] Russell
    Right.
[10:46] Rin
    Uh, well...
[10:48] Lori
    Rin really looks up to you, Haru.
[10:50] Lori
    Every time he talked about you,
    he was always full of admiration!
[10:55] Rin
    Hey, now...
[10:57] Haruka
    Hey, what did she say?
[10:59] Rin
    It doesn't really matter...
[11:01] Haruka
    Yes, it does.
[11:04] Rin
    She just said I used to talk about you.
[11:08] Lori
    Anyway, we're glad you're doing well, Rin.
[11:10] Russell
    I recall a time when you
    seemed a bit depressed.
[11:15] Rin
    You knew about that?
[11:19] Russell
    Lori and I knew you were just
    putting on a cheerful face.
[11:22] Lori
    Russell and I discussed it, and
[11:24] ---
    we did the best we could to watch
    over you and make you feel at home.
[11:29] Lori
    I made sure there was lots of laughter,
    friendly chatting, and tasty meals for you.
[11:33] Lori
    So you'd feel more comfortable
    here in Australia.
[11:40] Rin
    I'm sorry for making you both worry.
[11:44] Russell
    Well, enough of that talk.
[11:46] Lori
    Dig in, Haru!
[11:47] Lori
    I cooked some mackerel. You like it, right?
[11:50] Lori
    In Japanese, it's called "saba"?
[11:53] Haruka
    Y-Yes.
[11:55] Russell
    So, mate, you got a girlfriend back in Japan?
[11:58] Rin
    Um... That is, uh...
[12:03] Russell
    I guess that's a no.
[12:05] Russell
    Our boy Rin's a late bloomer!
[12:07] Lori
    Right! Remember the time he...
[12:09] Rin
    We don't have to talk about that, Lori!
[12:13] Russell
    It's summertime in Japan now, right?
[12:15] Rin
    That's right.
[12:16] Lori
    Isn't summer really hot there?
[12:18] Rin
    Yes! It's hotter than hell!
[12:23] Russell
    Rin! Haru! Glad we got
    to see you boys tonight!
[12:27] Lori
    Please come back and visit us anytime!
[12:30] Rin
    I'll keep in touch!
[12:31] Russell
    Have a great stay!
[12:32] Rin
    Thanks, Russell, Lori!
[12:34] Rin
    Bye!
[12:42] Rin
    Something wrong?
[12:43] Haruka
    No.
[12:44] Haruka
    It's nothing.
[12:45] Rin
    Okay. Then let's get going.
[12:52] Rin
    Hi. I made a reservation
    under the name Rin Matsuoka.
[12:56] Clerk
    Welcome.
[12:58] Clerk
    Haru, passport.
[13:00] Clerk
    Please fill out your name, address,
    passport info, and sign there.
[13:21] Rin
    Huh?!
[13:23] Rin
    You've got to be kidding me!
[13:26] Haruka
    We're in Australia.
[13:28] Haruka
    Stuff like this is probably normal here.
[13:30] Rin
    It's not!
[13:31] Rin
    This must be your fault.
    You and your girly name!
[13:35] Haruka
    It's probably your fault, then.
[13:38] Rin
    It's your fault!
[13:39] Haruka
    It's your fault!
[13:40] Rin
    Your fault!
[13:41] Haruka
    Your fault!
[13:42] Rin
    Your fault!
[13:43] Rin
    Okay, this isn't the time for this!
[13:46] Rin
    I'm going back to the front desk!
[13:49] Clerk
    I'm afraid we can't do
    anything about that now.
[13:52] Rin
    We're the ones having a problem here.
[13:54] Rin
    Aren't there any other rooms available?
[13:56] Clerk
    We're full up tonight.
[13:58] Clerk
    If you don't want the room,
    go find another hotel.
[14:01] Clerk
    But remember, we'll be charging
    you cancellation fees.
[14:05] Rin
    Seriously?!
[14:07] Rin
    It's your mistake!
[14:08] Clerk
    No. Our cancellation policy's
    stated in our agreement.
[14:12] Clerk
    You were informed of this when
    you made your reservation.
[14:23] Rin
    I can't believe this...
[14:24] Haruka
    It won't matter once you're asleep.
[14:26] Haruka
    Just go to sleep.
[14:29] Rin
    Guess that's true.
[14:48] Rin
    Hey, Haru?
[14:51] Rin
    I told you I've always admired you, right?
[14:56] Rin
    You might not remember it,
[14:59] ---
    but I still remember
[15:02] Rin
    the day I first met you.
SIGN    1st Nanase Haruka 2nd Matsuoka Rin
[15:06] Rin
    To be honest, it had never occurred
    to me that I could lose to someone.
[15:12] Rin
    But any frustration I felt
    vanished when I thought,
[15:16] Rin
    "There's someone more amazing than me."
[15:19] Rin
    "I want to be able to swim like him."
[15:22] Rin
    That's why it's hard for me when
    you're not always there ahead of me,
[15:26] ---
    showing me what path I should take.
[15:29] Rin
    Without you, I have nothing
    to aim for, you know?
[15:34] Haruka
    I remember it, too.
[15:35] Haruka
    That tournament...
[15:39] Rin
    Do you remember the freestyle race we
    swam during that tournament this spring?
[15:43] Rin
    When we tied and set a new
    tournament record together?
[15:47] Haruka
    Yeah.
[15:49] Rin
    I was testing you then.
[15:54] Rin
    I wanted to see if that was really
    the farthest you could go.
[16:00] Rin
    And when I sensed you
    coming up from behind me,
[16:03] ---
    I knew for sure.
[16:06] Rin
    That you were definitely going to
    enter the same world as me.
[16:10] Rin
    Hey, Haru, during that race,
    didn't you feel something, too?
[16:52] Rin
    You said you couldn't find
    a dream of your own, right?
[16:56] Rin
    But if you did find one,
    what would you do?
[17:50] Rin
    Here we are.
[17:52] Haruka
    What is this?
[17:53] Rin
    A stadium for international
    swimming competitions.
[17:56] Rin
    Let's go.
[18:05] Rin
    Haru! Over here.
[18:10] Rin
    This is where the best swimmers
    in the world race one another.
[18:16] Rin
    This is what I wanted to show you.
[18:21] Rin
    Let's swim, Haru.
[18:22] Haruka
    We can swim here?
[18:24] Rin
    Of course. Anyone can.
[18:27] Haruka
    I didn't bring a swimsuit.
[18:29] Rin
    I'll loan you one.
[18:30] Rin
    This way.
[18:41] Rin
    That's the National Team!
[18:44] Haruka
    National Team?
[18:45] Rin
    They use this pool for practice.
[18:47] Haruka
    Is it really okay to swim here, then?
[18:50] Haruka
    No one's swimming.
[18:52] Rin
    There's a regular recreational
    pool over there.
[18:55] Rin
    No one without the guts to swim beside
    the National Team would use this one.
[19:00] Rin
    What do you want to do?
[19:39] Swimmer
    Hey, mate!
[19:42] Swimmer
    How's it going?
[19:44] Swimmer
    Let's go!
[20:07] Haruka
    I want to swim.
[20:28] Haruka
    In this place...
[20:31] Haruka
    Forever...
[20:35] Haruka
    I want to keep swimming...
[20:43] Rin
    Haru!
[20:45] Rin
    We should go, too.
[20:52] Haruka
    Yeah!
[21:03] Rin
    The coach who trained me
[21:05] ---
    while I was studying in Australia
    wrote to me recently.
[21:08] Rin
    He asked if I'd consider swimming here again.
[21:12] Rin
    Before we head back to Japan,
[21:15] ---
    I intend to see him and ask him
    formally to let me join his team.
[21:18] Rin
    Even though I took one heck of a detour,
[21:20] ---
    I was finally able to come back here.
[21:23] Rin
    And this time, I won't lose.
[21:26] Rin
    It's time for revenge!
[21:28] Haruka
    Rin.
[21:32] Haruka
    I've
[21:34] Haruka
    found it, too.
[23:14] Makoto
    All the memories we have with these friends...
[23:17] Nagisa
    We'll surely never forget them.
[23:19] Rei
    And with them, we face forward
    and boldly step out...
[23:22] Rin
    ...toward a future we truly believe in.
