"Japan Coast Guard"
UMIZARU
Since joining the Coast Guard, I've witnessed 9 maritime accidents.
Each one, however, from the deck of a boat.
Each time, I wished I could be in the water.
The 14 of you have come recommended by your regional headquarters...
to undergo special training as search and rescue divers.
Only 1% of all Japan Coast Guard officers earn such a distinction.
It is my earnest hope that all of you will have what it takes to endure...
the most rigorous training of your lives.
Attention!
Salute!
At ease!
Your Chief Training Instructor!
Trainees, salute!
At ease!
My name is Taro Minamoto.
For the next 50 days...
I will supervise your training.
But first let me say...
my job is not to turn you into divers...
but to sift out the unworthy.
You. What's your name?
Eiji Nomura, 2nd Region, Sir!
Why are you here?
To rescue those lost at sea, Sir!
And you?
Makoto Tsuchiya, 4th Region, Sir!
Your reason?
Rescue divers are expert lifesavers, Sir!
You.
Atsushi Kawaguchi, 8th Region, Sir.
To save lives as a rescue diver, Sir.
And you?
Yuji Mishima, 3rd Region. To save human life, Sir.
Next?
Hajime Kudo, 1st Region. The same, to save lives.
You?
Daisuke Senzaki, 7th Region, Sir. Save lives, of course.
You all sound very noble.
And full of shit!
Nomura!
Tell me the real reason!
Divers...
get the ladies, Sir.
Tsuchiya!
The divers' bonus, Sir.
Kawaguchi!
Priority bath rights, Sir.
Yaegashi!
My superior's orders, Sir.
Mishima!
To make Special Rescue Corps, Sir.
What for?
For the status, right?
Kudo!
To save lives, Sir!
The real reason!
To save lives, Sir.
And you?
Boredom on deck, Sir.
Boredom?
I want to work on the front lines, Sir.
You think that's a lot of fun, do you?
Senzaki, they tell me you have a master diver's license.
Yes.
Jerk.
Friendly drill sergeant.
50 days with Hitler.
I hate him already.
What's a "master diver's license?"
It means he's semi-pro.
I've been diving since high school.
No way!
You're not the only one with one of those.
10 minutes elapsed!
Remember, you're trainees!
You're nothing special!
I've reached my limit, Sir!
You have?
Kudo...
if you had, you'd be dead now.
You're still alive.
Add 2 kilos!
Come on. Sink or swim!
Keep those hands dry!
Ready... go!
If you can't save your own ass...
how can you save others?
Lives are at stake here!
Not bad.
Senzaki and... Mishima.
This is heaven!
I thought I'd die out there.
I hope it's easier tomorrow.
Food!
I haven't the strength to eat.
Look at those two.
They didn't break a sweat.
Diving masters.
I told you so.
I wanna go home!
Sakai, Nakahara... Muto, Tadokoro...
Kudo, Senzaki...
Gunji, Watanabe...
Tsuchiya, Nomura...
Hayashi, Yaegashi...
Mishima, Kawaguchi...
Meet your "buddy" for the next 50 days.
"Buddy?"
We always work in pairs underwater.
The "buddy" relationships are founded upon trust.
Understood?
Pleasure.
Same here.
One minute and 30 seconds.
One minute remaining.
Water clear!
Ready...
Dive!
Commence gear exchange.
Don't waste time!
Check your residual pressure.
The slowest pair does 100 push-ups.
72...
73...
I'm sorry.
74!
500-meter dolphin relay! Go!
The slowest team cleans latrines.
Hurry up!
Sorry.
What's that stench?
Latrines.
Now I reek, too.
Poor Senzaki.
Don't get in my way.
I know.
Finished already?
I'm not hungry.
Eat up! You need your strength.
That's right.
Why'd you pair those two?
They're too different. It's not fair to Senzaki.
You can't pamper a guy like that.
I see your point.
On repeated dives...
you must know how much time you need to depressurize.
Your body builds up nitrogen underwater.
Once out of the water, you must stay there...
until the nitrogen in your system returns to safe levels.
After a 20-minute dive, for example...
you need to stay out of the water for at least an hour.
Otherwise, you're at risk of getting the bends.
Why don't you tutor him?
This is where your dive time chart is important.
Say you and your "buddy" are left alone at a depth of 40 meters.
You have one tank and 30 bar.
Enough for a return trip... for one.
What do you do?
What?
Time's up. You're all dead.
Let me explain the time for reducing pressure after a dive.
What's with that guy?
Got your manuscript.
Good.
Sorry for cutting out on you.
No sweat. Take care of your mom.
It's about ready to print, anyway.
Just proof it and email it back to me.
Not bad for your first article.
Really?
Got to go. Bye.
Goodbye.
You get used to training after a week.
But barracks life gets harder.
No matter what happens, remember you're in training.
The locals call you "sea monkeys."
Because of the way some before you have acted in town.
Practice discretion. Understood?
You're free tonight.
"Abstinence"
Hey! What did I just say?!
Give me your number!
Get away from me.
I haven't got time for a boyfriend.
I'm building work skills.
No interest in men at all?
If the opportunity arises.
Wow, Tokyo's changed you.
I've hit on a guy, like, once.
You, Erika? How?
I said, "I bet you'd like to kiss me."
I read in a magazine it works every time.
Then what?
Then I slept with him.
I was piss drunk.
I went out with him for about a year, I think.
Really.
Coast what?
Coast Guard.
"Sea monkeys."
14 of the nicest boys you'll meet!
Care for a drink?
Nomura reporting back: Pride shattered.
We're getting nowhere!
Nobody likes us.
Kudo, were you the best your region had to offer?
Excuse me?
Chief called you the worst recruit ever.
Don't make us look bad, okay?
We don't want to fail 'cause of you.
- Pick it up, okay? - Get with it.
Sorry.
Hold it... He's doing his best.
Give him a break.
He pisses you off more than anyone else.
So don't act cool.
Likewise.
Chill out, guys.
Sarge will eat us alive if we start fighting.
You don't wanna fight.
Neither do you.
Coast Guard?
Every year, they get local girlfriends...
and dump them once training's over.
Same old "sea monkeys." I hate 'em.
Two minutes elapsed.
And the winner is Mishima! Let's get an interview!
Aw come on! Here's the culprit!
Nothing's changed around here.
I told you.
I wish I could go to Tokyo like you.
You're on call tomorrow, right? Get some rest.
I hate the early shift.
See ya.
Good night.
Watch it! I'm packing a lot of stress.
Get over here.
Two guys pestering one girl? That's pitiful.
Okay, knock it off.
Go home!
Chill out.
Listen to me.
What did you expect? A girl like you drinking alone.
Wait a second.
Is that a compliment?
Are you saying I'm attractive?
You're wasted.
Right now... I bet you'd like to kiss me.
Get a load of this classy room!
Are you new to this?
Yeah, my boyfriends have always had apartments.
This feels wonderful!
Bright... It's too bright.
Thirsty?
I still don't know your name.
Does that matter?
Guess not.
Water... Check.
"Buddy"...Check.
Dive!
Hey.
Hey!
You've got to be kidding.
What is this place?
Who is this person?
Who're you?
"Who?" is right.
Well... who?
Shit!
You're the worst!
I absolutely despise guys that do this kind of thing.
You brought me here.
Me?
I don't sleep with guys I don't know.
What?
Don't tell me you're with...
I'm with the Coast Guard.
I'm late for training. Gotta go.
I just screwed a "sea monkey."
Attention!
All trainees present and accounted for, Sir!
I will explain pool exercise No.10:
Entering an overturned vessel.
A fishing boat has capsized...
full of fishing nets and other obstacles.
One of you is blindfolded, and you share one tank.
Work stops at 50 bar.
Under 50 bar, you must surface.
Nomura OK.
Tsuchiya OK.
Elapsed time: 6 minutes, 30 seconds.
Bar remaining?
30.
You missed the cutoff.
You've both died in action.
Next! Senzaki and Kudo.
Your "buddy" needs air.
Senzaki's down!
He's blacked out!
We've got him!
What's your problem, Kudo!
You've got to stay calm.
You almost killed me.
How're you doing, Mr. Senzaki?
Fine.
The doctor will be here shortly to check up on you.
Roger... Latrine?
Go out, turn right.
But I emailed you my corrections.
You didn't get them? Wait, I'll try again.
How about now?
Got it? Great.
No... it's nothing.
What? Yes, I can do that.
"Femme?"
Don't touch that.
No, I'm fine.
I can work from here.
I won't cause any... damn!
I can't use my cell phone here.
At any rate, I'll be back as soon as...
You work for a magazine! I thought you were a local.
May I have that, please?
Why're you working from a hospital?
And who are you?
You remember.
I do not.
I took her to a seaside hotel.
What're you doing? Stop that!
Jog your memory?
Why are you following me around?
Like I said...
it was you who hit on me.
Something I live to regret.
And a dorky "sea monkey" at that.
Sorry if I fail your high standards.
Look, I was drunk.
Did I...
really, you know...
"do it" with you?
Like a monkey, Babe.
Creep. Who's he calling a monkey?
Couldn't send your article?
Don't worry, Mom.
You rushed back on my account.
Of course I'm worried.
I got it. Don't move.
You all right?
Hajime Kudo, Japan Coast Guard.
We're both in the business of saving lives.
We're kindred spirits.
Kobayashi's stool sample!
Gotta go.
See ya later.
Ow!
Snap out of it. What're you looking at?
At ease! 10 minutes!
Senzaki...
your belt's twisted in back.
Blame your "buddy."
What say you, Kudo?
I thought I checked him thoroughly, Sir.
You've done this repeatedly.
Give me 50 push-ups. You too, Senzaki.
Do it with your regulators on!
You can do it, Kudo.
You can do it!
Together!
This is a circular search: Standard operational procedure.
If you can't do it on land...
you'll fail in the water.
Keep up, Kudo.
Sorry.
He's not rescue diver material. He lacks strength and concentration.
Encourage him to quit, or pay for it later.
You know that, don't you?
Excuse me!
There're some people on the rocks.
What rocks?
Out there. It doesn't look safe.
What the hell are they doing?
Excuse me. We're the Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard?
When the tide rises, you'll be trapped.
Please evacuate immediately.
If it gets dangerous, we'll leave.
You've been drinking. Your judgment is...
Buzz off.
Who gives you the right to order us around?
And look dorky, too.
That's a cute little life jacket. Orange suits you.
- Seriously. It's dangerous. - We hear you. Now leave.
Go away! Go away!
Hey Mishima!
Wait!
If they want to die, let them.
Say that again?
I said don't be stupid.
My taxes pay your salary, you runt!
Kudo!
This is a first. Coast Guard officers in a brawl with local civilians!
Our apologies, Sir.
They were violating public safety rules, Sir.
That's right.
That's not the point.
You are public servants. So get that into your thick skulls!
Look what happened to you!
I hear Kudo was the first to snap.
Mishima didn't lay a hand on them.
That's professionalism.
He's an adult. Kudo's a child.
I'm sorry. My fault again.
Tell me...
just what is our job?
We went to help...
and they spat in our faces.
We got them to leave, didn't we?
You should be pissed off.
Back home, my father and brother...
are fishermen.
When they're out at sea in a storm, my mom just sits there and prays.
"Bring them home safely," she says.
Ever since I was a kid...
I vowed to rescue them if they were ever in danger.
So you joined the Coast Guard.
Yeah.
I'm glad we helped those people.
Mishima...
I was thinking...
let's graduate top of our class.
I'll work hard.
All right, "buddy?"
Why didn't you join the rest?
Sir?
You let your "buddy" get beat up.
You advocating fighting, Sir?
Keep pumping.
You need this to pass pool training.
I'm spent.
Shift the weight to your pelvis!
Come on!
It's no use. I can't hack it.
Sure you can.
It's pointless.
No, it's not.
You're a basket case, Kudo!
Time for a skinny-dip!
Enough of peeing in my wetsuit.
What're you doing?
No fair practicing on the side.
We're in this together.
Think of us as...
your trusty "clutch."
You mean "crutch."
Disperse!
Water clear!
Check!
Take positions!
Dive!
Weirdos.
Lower your chin, Kudo!
So you swallow water, big deal.
Raise those hips, Man!
You're too vertical.
10 meters to go!
9... 8... 7... 6... 5...
Finish, Kudo!
All trainees present and accounted for, Sir!
Next week, we start training at sea.
And you're not ready.
You faint during training.
You fight off duty.
You think with your peckers.
You're not ready for the sea.
So we're conducting this final pool test.
If you fail any of the tasks today...
you're out!
2 minutes, 30 seconds.
14 minutes elapsed.
One minute left!
Paddle! Paddle! Come on!
25 meters to go, Kudo!
5... 4... 3... 2... 1!
This is your final task.
Anyone who can't lift 20 kilos, fails!
Almost there. Try again.
I can't. I can't do it!
It's too heavy.
You're almost there.
I know you can do it.
Now go!
You can do it!
Keep coming! Keep coming!
Don't give up on me, damn it!
Keep it coming! Keep it coming!
You did it, Kudo!
Bottoms up!
Nurses! We've got nurses!
I must be dreaming!
I love you, Kudo!
Who'd have thought you'd have a hotline to a nurse station?
He was like a raging bull!
Went straight for Nurse Erika.
I wish he'd use that energy in training.
A guy's looks are important.
That's Marine Self-Defense.
We're Japan Coast Guard.
Our boats are white.
Hey Senzaki.
Thanks.
I owe you one.
Save it. We're only halfway there.
True.
We'll make it, though.
I'm glad you're my "buddy."
I won't let you down.
I promise.
I hate blind dates.
She's a friend of Erika's.
I think I'll pass.
But you're my "buddy!"
Within limits.
No, "buddies" are inseparable.
What a great day for a dive!
The sea looks beautiful!
Water everywhere!
Hey, isn't that Senzaki and Kudo?
Good afternoon, Gents!
What're you doing here?
What a coincidence!
This is a good spot.
Mishima's here too?
You knew we were diving here.
Leave us alone.
Why should we?
Look!
Hi boys!
Now just hold on!
You brought a friend?
This is Kanna.
Move closer!
Gloves on?
Your hand, please.
I thought you hated "sea monkeys."
I was bored.
What's a city girl doing here anyway?
None of your business.
In the water, you stay close, you hear?
I hear you.
That was incredible! It's so beautiful!
Told you so.
Hey!
Keep your hands to yourself.
Don't flatter yourself.
My mom's in the hospital.
What?
She broke her leg falling down some stairs.
I see.
So you came back here.
My father died when I was little.
It's just the two of us.
The dutiful daughter.
Stop it.
Truth is...
I'm panicked.
This is a critical time at work.
They gave me my first full page at the magazine.
I can't be wasting time here.
So that's why.
What?
Why you seem so stressed out.
I must be to sleep with someone I just met.
I'd better go.
Hey, where'd everyone go?
Still diving, maybe.
Let's continue diving, then.
We can't.
Look, we're almost out of air.
Beginners tend to breathe quickly.
You're more tired than you think. Let's call it a day.
Yes, Sir.
Looking good.
Go for it, Kudo.
You owe us dinner, Man.
Keep diving.
I gotta use the can.
Do it here.
I have to crap.
What?
Disperse!
Wait!
Stop!
I worked in Tokyo, too, you know.
A health food company.
In sales.
On a commission-based salary.
I sold to friends and family.
Once they'd bought everything they could, I had no more customers.
I even pushed products on people at my high school reunion.
It was pathetic.
Don't you think?
So I joined the Coast Guard.
Why the Coast Guard?
I love the sea.
Simple reason.
Oh yeah?
Then tell me why you chose to work for a magazine.
I love fashion.
Simple reason.
You should loosen up more. Like you were in the water.
I'm starving.
You wanna grab a bite?
With me?
Just us two?
Why not?
Really?
Somebody help!
Daddy! Daddy!
Somebody help, please!
Wait here!
Hey Kanna...
you really don't remember anything?
What?
The night we met.
Oh that.
I made you take me to a hotel, right?
Truth is, I vaguely recall that.
That's true but...
I mean afterwards.
Erika?
Sorry I left without telling you.
What?
Erika.
You can't come in here!
He tried to help a drowning man.
But...
Monitor reading?
Nothing. Still asystolic.
How long?
One hour.
I see. Cease CPR.
Yes, doctor.
Kudo wouldn't drown.
He's Coast Guard!
Stop screwing around, Kudo!
You're gonna be a rescue diver.
You promised me, Man!
Kudo, snap out of it!
You survived hard training, right?
Kudo!
Wake the fuck up!
Kudo!
His heart stopped an hour ago.
Kudo!
What about your father and brother, huh?!
Say something, Kudo!
Let go of me, damn it!
Kudo's dead.
And the guy...
he went to save?
Didn't make it.
Damn you, Kudo.
Salute!
At ease.
Death seems to follow you.
Master Chief, you're needed in Tokyo.
Understood.
Senzaki...
You okay?
Kudo should've understood his limits.
For a civilian, it would've been a heroic effort.
But for a Coast Guard officer, it's shameful.
He tried to save a life!
But he didn't.
And he died.
It was careless.
As search and rescue divers...
you'll be required to work in conditions like these.
More often, "search" means exhuming the dead.
In my 10 years in the field...
I saved a grand total of one person.
But I brought up 25 dead bodies.
I won't blame you if you quit right now.
There's nothing fun about the front lines, Senzaki.
Tomorrow...
we go to sea.
So ponder this.
You and your "buddy" are alone at a depth of 40 meters.
You have one tank.
And 30 bar: Enough for one man's return.
What do you do?
One man must sacrifice his life.
The stronger one must surface.
And if that were you?
I'd have to leave my "buddy" behind.
How about you, Senzaki?
Your inability to provide a response...
makes Mishima's solution better.
"Open Sea Training Zone, Hiroshima Pref."
All 13 trainees present and accounted for, Sir!
Your first open sea training task:
An emergency return to the surface from 40 meters.
It's a dive-and-surface exercise.
You have 15 minutes.
Proceed no quicker than 10 meters per minute.
Or you'll get the bends.
Holding your breath will make it worse.
Oxygen in your body will expand rapidly, rupturing your lungs.
You'll never dive again.
Or... you'll be dead.
Surface clear.
Senzaki ready.
What happened?
I suddenly couldn't breathe.
My heart rate jumped.
I saw Kudo.
That caused you to panic and let go of the rope.
Know what that means?
Anyone who lets go of the rope...
is immediately...
regarded as missing.
Today, you went MIA.
Found it.
Yes, that.
We expanded the feature editorial. I'm sorry.
You could've told me earlier.
Why? You're not here.
You told me to be with my mother.
To a point.
I had to find a replacement.
You needn't return.
I can leave camp...
until 10 p.m.
Can I see you?
Diving's a thankless job.
You train your butt off...
day in and day out.
It's pointless.
Are you quitting?
I have a friend in Okinawa.
He's invited me to be an instructor... at his diving school.
It pays well.
Beats being a dorky "sea monkey."
Come with me.
Me?
Why me?
I just thought...
Isn't this just a one-summer fling?
I expected it to last only through training.
Don't get me wrong.
When I first met you, my job had me down.
But then you told me not to worry...
because this is what I wanted.
I fed off your positive attitude.
But...
just liking it isn't enough.
You know that, too.
I'm returning to Tokyo.
Mom's getting out soon, and I've got work to do.
An instructor sounds fun? You'll get the girls.
Take care.
Oh yeah...
I owe you an apology...
for calling you a dorky "sea monkey."
So our super rookie's dropping out.
He's mentally unfit.
Thanks.
Have some tea.
You know why Minamoto's so tough?
Long time ago, a cargo ship sunk.
Minamoto was a diver there.
Kyono was his "buddy." They'd been partners a long time.
The sunk cargo ship shifted.
Kyono caught trapped.
Minamoto had to leave him.
His "buddy" died?
Even now, people accuse him of murdering his partner.
But he says nothing.
Minamoto suffered physical damage preventing him from ever diving again.
Minamoto!
Minamoto! Where's Kyono?!
We've lost the ship!
He knows better than anyone how scary the sea is.
The reason why...
he doesn't say anything to you...
is because he knows this is your decision to make.
No one will blame you for quitting.
You're still a young man.
Your whole life's ahead of you.
See you.
It's Senzaki.
Enter.
I've decided...
not to quit.
Let me complete the training.
A depth of 40 meters... Just you and your "buddy."
One tank... 30 bar.
Enough for one.
I would...
find a way to save us both.
I don't ever want to lose my "buddy" again.
You called for us, Sir?
What is it?
On tomorrow's last exercise.
I'm pairing Senzaki with you, Mishima.
What?
Kawaguchi will pair with trainer Otomo.
I insist on knowing your reason for pairing me with him, Sir.
My reason?
Because I said so.
I'm not Kudo.
So don't get in my way.
Don't expect me to save you.
You do the same.
"Buddies" are merely a crutch.
Hey, isn't that Kanna?
It is!
Hey Kanna!
This is our final training exercise.
You'll dive to 40 meters...
where Bando and the other instructors will monitor you as you build...
a flange.
Then you'll surface.
Prepare to dive!
Yaegashi, Hayashi, done!
Sakai, Nakahara, done!
Affirmative. Last two pairings.
Kawaguchi-Otomo, Senzaki-Mishima.
Let's roll.
Let's go.
Surface clear!
Senzaki did it.
Otomo's bleeding!
He's all right. Take him to the infirmary.
What happened down there?
Sudden change in current.
Mishima and Senzaki...
are adrift, Sir.
Two diver trainees are reported missing, Sir!
Are rescue divers present?
All divers have been down 40 meters.
They're full of nitrogen.
Call for help!
Sir, send us down. We can still dive!
Send us two!
I'm sorry. You're just trainees.
Help is on its way.
All Hiroshima Coast Guard stations...
"Mobile Rescue, Diving accident 7th Regional Headquarters" reported at 250 degrees,
"Mobile Rescue, 7th Regional Headquarters"
"Mobile Rescue, 0.5 miles off 7th Regional Headquarters" Nishinoumi Island.
Status report urgent.
"Patrol ship 'Chikuzen,' Ube Bay"
North longitude 34-degrees-13.4'!
East latitude 132-degrees-22.5'!
Downed divers drifted southwest!
There are no divers available for rescue on site!
Rescue divers arriving in 15 minutes.
How much air do they have?
I estimate 20 minutes, Sir.
Sir, Instructor Otomo is up!
Otomo!
Mishima's hose is ruptured.
What?!
Shit.
It got caught on the flange. It's leaking air.
Save them please, Sir!
Sir!
Why doesn't Senzaki surface?
A depth of 40 meters...
You and your "buddy"are alone.
You have one tank, 30 bar.
Enough for one man's return.
They're together!
What's Senzaki's bar reading?
Under 60... 10 minutes.
5 minutes each.
This is Minamoto. Permission to send down my trainees.
That's against regulations.
I take full responsibility. Grant me permission!
Help is arriving in 10 minutes. Stand down.
That's too long.
Trainees are not authorized. Follow HQ orders!
Trainees, prepare to dive!
Yes, Sir!
But Sir!
Hover at 25 meters!
Do a circular search!
Visibility is bad so use your emergency whistles!
Sir! Are you ignoring HQ orders?!
Senzaki won't leave his "buddy."
He believes you're coming. I want them brought back alive!
Yes, Sir!
Tanks on!
They've surfaced!
We've got 'em!
Mishima...
"Japan Coast Guard Headquarters, Tokyo"
Chief Petty Officer, 1st Class, Taro Minamoto,
We've examined the reports detailing the events of the accident.
And we deem that what happened...
to trainees Senzaki and Mishima was force majeure; unforeseeable.
Still, at risk of escalating the situation...
you sent ill-prepared divers into a rescue mission against direct orders.
Can you provide just reason for carrying out such a reckless act?
I cannot. I am prepared to face the consequences.
We'll inform you of that shortly.
May I speak?
I fail to understand why the Chief must be punished, Sir.
I, too, must protest, Sir.
His decision saved our lives.
Stand down!
That is easily said in hindsight.
I lost a partner at sea once.
The pain will remain with me forever.
Understand this...
You are not yet rescue divers.
Your chief's punishment is a matter of necessity.
He hasn't the authority to mobilize trainees for active duty.
Sit down.
It was...
a training exercise.
What?
An exercise?
A rescue exercise at 40 meters.
We merely carried out a task Chief Minamoto had presented us.
That is correct, Sir.
Stop it.
It's true. It was an exercise.
Your vessel, the Hakata, issued an SOS.
7 Coast Guard ships were deployed...
as were 2 airborne vessels.
You call that a training exercise?
Not until then...
had I relied so much on my fellow trainees...
nor trusted in my Chief...
nor felt solidarity with my partner.
But now more than ever, I want to be a rescue diver.
Instructor Bando, do you concur that this was all part of an exercise?
Yes, Sir.
Chief Minamoto...
Is this how you train your divers?
Yes, Sir.
Very well.
Without an accident, we have no reason to call an investigation.
You are dismissed.
Thank you, Sir!
Atsushi Kawaguchi, Coast Guard Officer, 3rd Class.
Yuji Mishima, Coast Guard Officer, 3rd Class.
Daisuke Senzaki, Coast Guard Officer, 1st Class.
Graduating class of 13...
14, Sir!
Why have you become rescue divers?
To save lives, Sir!
There's nothing fun about serving on the front lines.
Do you understand?!
This completes salvage and rescue diver training for 14 officers!
Graduates, salute!
At ease!
There's something I need to tell you.
At the hotel on the night we met...
you fell asleep.
Nothing happened.
Sorry I lied.
I wouldn't say "nothing" happened.
Would you?
Hey, wait up!

"16:30. Large ferryboat carrying 413 passengers is missing."
"17:28. Fire from an explosion rages during rescue operations."
We confirm this to be a maritime disaster of major proportions.
"17:36. Japan Coast Guard Emergency Headquarters..."
"confirm Code 1 Disaster."
Passengers are diving into the water...
putting rescue divers in further peril!
This is Seahawk 1, taking position above the bridge!
More explosions are imminent!
Evacuate!
Evacuate Coast Guard personnel!
That's an order!
Senzaki! Respond!
There are still passengers onboard!
Evacuate now, Senzaki!
The 7 remaining divers have evacuated.
Senzaki!
I'm not giving up.
I'll make it back alive.
