SIGN    East China Sea
[00:17] ---
    Look at all these ships.
[00:18] ---
    They weren't lying when they said
    this was a full-scale operation.
[00:22] ---
    "Victory through overwhelming
    firepower" is America's motto.
[00:26] ---
    But depending on how this goes,
[00:29] ---
    my first priority is your survival,
[00:31] ---
    even if it means taking over your Daughter.
[00:36] ---
    I know.
[00:38] ---
    I won't do anything reckless.
[00:41] ---
    Did something happen with Gripen?
[00:43] ---
    "Something"?
[00:45] ---
    Where did that come from?
[00:47] ---
    My bugs picked up a rather intimate
    conversation between you two last night.
[00:52] ---
    I-It wasn't like that...
[00:54] ---
    Wait, "bugs"?
[00:56] ---
    That was a joke.
[01:02] ---
    Why are you always so
    excited about everything?
[01:05] ---
    'Cause I finally get to fly!
[01:08] ---
    We're fighter jets! If we don't fly
    and fight, there's no reason to exist!
[01:14] ---
    Kei...
[01:16] ---
    It's time to get ready.
[01:17] ---
    Yeah.
[02:57] ---
    Direct link.
[03:07] ---
    Barbie 01, Control.
SIGN    A Homeland with No One Home
[03:09] ---
    Taxi to Alpha Charlie 1.
[03:17] ---
    I hook the nose gear into catapult shaft.
[03:21] ---
    Then test the flaps and remove
    the engine output limiter.
[03:24] ---
    After that, I don't touch
    the instruments at all.
[03:27] ---
    I don't touch the stick again until I'm away
    from the carrier and heading into the sky.
[03:46] ---
    Kei, pull up!
[03:53] ---
    Checking warning signals.
[03:56] ---
    Normal.
[03:58] ---
    You okay?
[03:59] ---
    Yeah.
[04:00] ---
    Barbie 01, can you hear me?
[04:03] ---
    Glad to see you made it off the ground.
[04:05] ---
    Rhino?
[04:06] ---
    Yes!
[04:07] ---
    It's the first time you're
    seeing me like this, huh?
[04:09] ---
    Let's do good out there today!
[04:10] ---
    Group 1 just made contact with
    the enemy's forward units.
[04:14] ---
    They're falling back and leading
    them to the designated point.
[04:18] ---
    Narutani Kei, have you memorized the plan?
[04:22] ---
    Um...
[04:25] ---
    Group 1 is composed of normal fighter jets.
[04:29] ---
    They'll split up the Xi, and then the
    Brawlers in Group 2 will pursue.
[04:32] ---
    We're in Group 3. We'll expand
    the hole the Brawlers open,
[04:36] ---
    and break through enemy
    lines to secure air superiority.
[04:38] ---
    Perfect! You've got it!
[04:41] ---
    Now we just need to do it.
[04:44] ---
    She makes it sound so easy.
[04:48] ---
    Let's form up.
[04:50] ---
    Follow me.
[05:02] ---
    Fire support from the fleet is incoming.
[05:05] ---
    Three...
[05:06] ---
    Two...
[05:07] ---
    One!
[05:08] ---
    Impact!
[05:12] ---
    Wow...
[05:13] ---
    Be careful. That didn't get a lot of them.
[05:18] ---
    EPCM level rising.
[05:20] ---
    The enemy is becoming more active.
[05:22] ---
    They're pursuing Group 1.
[05:31] ---
    They're not sending in the Brawlers yet?
[05:34] ---
    The Xi haven't been fully split apart.
[05:36] ---
    If we send them in now,
    they'll be attacked from both sides.
[05:39] ---
    But...
[06:11] ---
    They're good.
[06:12] ---
    Now it's our turn.
[06:24] ---
    Target lock on!
[06:26] ---
    Fox 2!
[06:31] ---
    Kill. Kill.
[06:36] ---
    Splash!
[06:55] ---
    Crap!
[06:56] ---
    Kei, stay in formation.
[06:59] ---
    They'll surround you.
[07:00] ---
    I know!
[07:01] ---
    But... can we really break through like this?
[07:10] ---
    Vector zero one five!
[07:11] ---
    The Brawlers found an opening!
[07:13] ---
    All Barbie fighters, back them up!
[07:23] ---
    We're through.
[07:25] ---
    We made it through the enemy formation.
[07:26] ---
    And we're still alive.
[07:30] ---
    We were supposed to be first!
[07:33] ---
    Maintaining air superiority is their job.
[07:35] ---
    Our job was just to make an opening, right?
[07:40] ---
    There's no time for talking.
[07:43] ---
    The enemy is still out there.
[07:45] ---
    We need to turn around
    and support our allies.
[07:50] ---
    New enemies to our front.
[07:52] ---
    Distance: 30.
[07:54] ---
    Approaching us from moderate altitude.
[07:56] ---
    Two of them.
[07:57] ---
    Heavy bombers?
[07:59] ---
    Those are my prey!
[08:01] ---
    Wait!
[08:02] ---
    Those things are too slow to stop us!
[08:11] ---
    Eagle, break!
[08:15] ---
    Wh-What are those?
[08:17] ---
    Parasite fighters...
[08:18] ---
    Parasites?
[08:20] ---
    They load up smaller fighters on a
    larger jet and launch them in mid-air.
[08:24] ---
    You can think of them as air-based carriers.
[08:26] ---
    Of all the times and places
    to send those in...
[08:34] ---
    We're going to attack them!
[08:35] ---
    The Brawlers can't stop them all.
[08:37] ---
    Okay.
[08:38] ---
    Roger!
[08:38] ---
    I'll go cover the manned fighters!
[08:51] ---
    Gripen, what's wrong?
[08:54] ---
    EPCM... at incredible intensity.
[08:57] ---
    And a really weird pattern...
[08:59] ---
    Weird?
[09:00] ---
    Are you okay?
[09:01] ---
    I'm fine.
[09:02] ---
    I used my shields to cut
    off the signal immediately.
[09:05] ---
    But it made me sick.
[09:22] ---
    What's going on?
[09:27] ---
    They... the Xi are controlling the Brawlers.
[09:31] ---
    The Brawlers' algorithms use the
[09:34] ---
    surrounding EPCM patterns
    to pick their next move.
[09:37] ---
    Which means that if you
    can adjust those patterns,
[09:41] ---
    you can make them do whatever you want.
[09:44] ---
    Misidentification...
[09:45] ---
    They can make enemies look like allies,
    and allies look like enemies.
[09:50] ---
    Is that it?
[09:52] ---
    The mission is a failure.
[09:54] ---
    Let's retreat.
[09:55] ---
    Without the Brawlers' support,
    continuing the mission is impossible.
[09:58] ---
    No, but...
[10:00] ---
    There's no time to waste here!
[10:01] ---
    They'll kill us all!
[10:11] ---
    Kei, enemies above us.
[10:13] ---
    From 9 o'clock as well.
[10:24] ---
    I can't get away.
[10:25] ---
    Above us, below, and on both sides...
[10:27] ---
    The enemy is everywhere!
[10:30] ---
    I can't... I can't die here!
[10:33] ---
    Narutani Kei!
[10:38] ---
    This way! We're breaking through!
[10:40] ---
    Rhino!
[11:04] ---
    We're alive.
[11:08] ---
    Gripen, you okay?
[11:09] ---
    I took a lot of damage, but I'm okay.
[11:12] ---
    But my fuel...
[11:14] ---
    Can we make it to the carrier?
[11:16] ---
    It'll be tough.
[11:17] ---
    We ended up a long way from the fleet.
[11:19] ---
    Me too. I'm getting fuel warnings.
[11:22] ---
    We need to refuel fast.
[11:24] ---
    Can we call a mid-air refueling tanker?
[11:26] ---
    Nope. Can't get through on the radio.
[11:29] ---
    The EPCM's too bad.
[11:31] ---
    Then we can head for a
    base in Taiwan or Korea...
[11:33] ---
    No way.
[11:35] ---
    They're even father.
[11:37] ---
    What about a Chinese airport?
[11:42] ---
    Shanghai Pudong International Airport.
[11:45] ---
    It's close, but...
[11:47] ---
    That's enemy territory.
[11:48] ---
    We don't have a lot of other
    choices, though, do we?
[11:51] ---
    Let's go see what we find.
[11:53] ---
    Okay.
[11:55] ---
    Gripen, watch the surrounding area carefully.
[11:57] ---
    Roger.
[12:01] ---
    I never thought this is how I'd head home.
[12:05] ---
    Mayday, mayday, mayday...
[12:08] ---
    Pudong Tower, Barbie 01.
[12:10] ---
    This is Japan Air Self Defense Force,
[12:13] ---
    low fuel, forced landing, two ships.
[12:15] ---
    Not a word from them...
[12:18] ---
    The place seems in good shape, but...
[12:23] ---
    I guess we head for the hangars, huh?
[12:26] ---
    The weather seems bad.
[12:28] ---
    Yeah.
[12:34] ---
    I'm glad you two are safe.
[12:37] ---
    Sorry for dragging you into this.
[12:40] ---
    Don't worry about it.
[12:41] ---
    My escape was cut off, too.
[12:45] ---
    But hmm...
[12:47] ---
    There's nothing here. No equipment or fuel.
[12:50] ---
    Did they put it all in one place
    somewhere to avoid Xi attacks?
[12:54] ---
    Like in a shelter or something?
[12:55] ---
    Want to take a look?
[12:57] ---
    We can't really fly without
    repairs and fuel, anyway.
[13:00] ---
    Sounds good!
[13:01] ---
    Let's go!
[13:05] ---
    Gripen?
[13:08] ---
    What's wrong?
[13:09] ---
    Are you not feeling well?
[13:13] ---
    Kei...
[13:14] ---
    Are you okay?
[13:16] ---
    I'm fine. Nothing's wrong at all.
[13:39] ---
    Kei...
[13:41] ---
    Is this the country you lived in?
[13:44] ---
    The place you wanted to go home to?
[13:47] ---
    No...
[13:49] ---
    I don't know.
[13:50] ---
    It used to be a lot louder, with a
    lot more stuff jammed everywhere.
[13:55] ---
    It wasn't so quiet, lonely, and white.
[14:01] ---
    White...
[14:16] ---
    Kei...
[14:18] ---
    I'm thirsty.
[14:20] ---
    Want to take a break?
[14:22] ---
    I bet there's some places to eat over there!
[14:25] ---
    The passenger terminal?
[14:27] ---
    We could go back to the
    Daughters and eat rations,
[14:30] ---
    but we need to look around anyway, right?
[14:32] ---
    Yeah. Let's go.
[15:00] ---
    The power's still on.
[15:02] ---
    The air conditioning, too.
[15:04] ---
    Is there somebody here after all, then?
[15:07] ---
    Are they hiding somewhere?
[15:13] ---
    It's so quiet.
[15:15] ---
    This is a nice place.
[15:18] ---
    There's electricity, water, and food, too.
[15:20] ---
    It's clean, and there's so much space.
[15:22] ---
    You don't have to worry about the rain.
[15:25] ---
    It feels like we could live here forever.
[15:29] ---
    No. Everybody is still fighting.
[15:31] ---
    We need to refuel and head back quickly.
[15:34] ---
    I was just kidding.
[15:37] ---
    Let's split up to search.
[15:40] ---
    This place is in such great
    shape that we should be able
[15:42] ---
    to find either supplies or a person quickly.
[15:45] ---
    You couldn't keep this place in this shape
[15:47] ---
    unless somebody was
    maintaining it, after all.
[16:20] ---
    The landing lights don't turn on, huh?
[16:23] ---
    We're stuck here tonight, I guess.
[16:25] ---
    You'd think, but I actually
    found a place to stay!
[16:29] ---
    Directly linked to the terminal,
    and it comes with a bath and toilet!
[16:33] ---
    Just one room?
[16:35] ---
    I don't want to interrupt your fun, but yeah.
[16:39] ---
    I think we need somebody to keep watch.
[16:42] ---
    Until we know who's maintaining this place.
[16:46] ---
    Got it. Let's keep watch
    in a three-person shift.
[16:49] ---
    Gripen, is that okay?
[16:52] ---
    Yeah.
[16:53] ---
    Okay, I'll take you to your hotel!
[17:00] ---
    How'd the battle go, I wonder?
[17:03] ---
    Hard to say.
[17:04] ---
    It's been a while, so it must've
    reached some kind of conclusion.
[17:10] ---
    Conclusion...
[17:11] ---
    The EPCM in this area is still active.
[17:14] ---
    If the landing force was
    going ahead as planned,
[17:17] ---
    some of them should've been here by now.
[17:21] ---
    Which means...
[17:24] ---
    Well, we can think about that stuff tomorrow.
[17:27] ---
    We're here.
[17:41] ---
    What are you doing?
[17:44] ---
    Nothing.
[17:47] ---
    Room 405?
[17:48] ---
    I took it from my birthday.
[17:51] ---
    Birthday?
[17:52] ---
    It's actually April 5th of this year.
[17:55] ---
    This year?
[17:56] ---
    Which means you're not even...
[17:58] ---
    I'm zero years old!
[18:00] ---
    If you try anything with me,
     that's a serious crime.
[18:03] ---
    I'm not going to!
[18:06] ---
    I'm done. Night.
[18:09] ---
    Hey, at least take a shower.
[18:13] ---
    You get some sleep, too.
[18:15] ---
    Your turn at watch is coming soon.
[18:18] ---
    Okay.
[18:36] ---
    What?
[18:37] ---
    Nothing.
[18:39] ---
    Can you see something?
[18:42] ---
    I like the darkness of night, you know.
[18:45] ---
    It's like everything—the people, the towns,
    even me—is going to melt into it.
[18:50] ---
    Melt?
[18:51] ---
    All the outlines disappear.
    All the boundaries disappear.
[18:56] ---
    Everybody gets mixed together,
    inside and out.
[19:00] ---
    When I was first born,
    somebody took me camping.
[19:06] ---
    I can still remember the
    night sky I saw then.
[19:16] ---
    It felt like I was a part of it.
    Or that I was sinking into it.
[19:21] ---
    Like my body was floating in
    the center of the universe.
[19:25] ---
    I was a part of the world. Not alone.
[19:30] ---
    It felt like I couldn't
    survive as an individual.
[19:36] ---
    Sorry. I said too much.
[19:39] ---
    You should get some sleep.
[19:41] ---
    No, um...
[19:45] ---
    Goodnight, Rhino.
[19:47] ---
    Yeah, goodnight.
[20:12] ---
    Huh?
[20:14] ---
    Rhino?
[20:20] ---
    I'm off to look for fuel.
[20:22] ---
    If I need you, I'll come get you.
[20:24] ---
    Take your time.
[20:25] ---
    We were supposed to take shifts. That girl...
[20:32] ---
    Hey, Gripen, wake up.
[20:34] ---
    It's morning.
[20:40] ---
    Not feeling well?
[20:42] ---
    My self-examination program
    says everything's normal.
[20:45] ---
    But I feel so out of it.
[20:48] ---
    Especially since I came to the airport.
[20:50] ---
    We should have Yashirodoori-san
    take a look at you ASAP.
[20:54] ---
    I'll go take a look outside.
[20:58] ---
    You get some rest.
[21:01] ---
    Sorry.
[21:11] ---
    What is that? I heard it yesterday, too.
[21:28] ---
    Am I imagining it?
[21:30] ---
    Or is it just a ringing in my ears?
[23:27] ---
    Next time on Girly Air Force...
[23:30] ---
    ALT 12: "The Sky I Fly with You."
SIGN    The Sky I Fly with You
[23:33] ---
    Barbie 01, cleared for take off!
