Yes?

Shinkai, are you awake? I have a question for you.

This is Jane, right?

Stop prank calling me.

Wait!

I have a flight!

I'm screwed.

I'm screwed.

I'm really screwed!

Excuse me!

Coming through!

Morning!

Good morning!

Good morning.

What a look.

This is Shinkai for flight 911 to Hong Kong.

We gave the flight plan to the captain.

But Jane isn't here yet.

I'm 5 minutes early.

Captain Naito called in sick.

I see.

I'll be flying instead.

Understood.

We'll now start the briefing for flight 911 to Hong Kong.

I'm the pilot, Koda.

Captain Naito is sick and I will be his replacement.

There should be no need for the standby system.

A pilot who can't manage his affairs doesn't deserve to fly.

Catching a cold, sleeping in or being late are all unacceptable.

I wasn't late.

But you were close.

A pilot should think about possible problems

and confirm the status of the flight several hours in advance.

Am I wrong?

You're right.

This isn't just about pilots. You crew members are the same.

Of course, captain.

We are always attempting to achieve the highest level of service.

Good to hear.

Let's have a nice flight to Hong Kong.

Understood.

Let's have a good time.

Okay.

Trouble already.

What is it?

You don't know?

We haven't heard anything yet.

About boarding.

Only five minutes until we're supposed to leave.

The fact that we haven't heard anything is trouble.

This is the cockpit. Please update us on the boarding.

Unfortunately, we are still waiting for three passengers.

What?

Apparently, they are on their way right now.

I think we'll be able to leave on time.

Can you please hurry up?

The passenger is a member of parliament and...

Parliament?

Welcome aboard.

Sir, if you're finished with that, I can take it for you.

I'm not done. I can't waste this.

I'm sorry.

We would be happy to bring you another drink after takeoff.

Don't talk to me that way. This is why I hate flying.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I told you a ship was better!

Who is this guy?

Hurry up. We have to keep on schedule.

Roger.

Cleared for takeoff.

Roger. Takeoff.

V1.

VR.

The captain has turned off the seat belt sign but,

due to the chance of turbulence, please keep your belt fastened while seated.

Hey, do you know who Ogura Mitsuyoshi is?

He's a politician, in charge of the Ministry of Justice.

Where is he?

Seat 24, right over there.

I've seen him. He's always shouting on TV.

That's right. Now make sure to bring him the wine list.

How is the temperature on board, sir?

If you are hot, let me bring you a cold beverage.

Sir?

Sir? What can I do for you?

Let me off!

Pardon?

Get me off the plane!

Get me off the plane!

I'll pay as much as you want!

Let me off...

This is the cockpit.

This is Ota speaking.

A business class passenger in seat 24 is shouting to be left off.

Pardon?

The passenger is the politician Ogura Mitsuyoshi.

From what I can see, he has started panicking.

Land this plane!

The same guy as before?

What shall we do?

I'm sure he understands he can't just get off the plane.

As a member of parliament, he says that he will make it an issue if he is not let off.

Who cares if he's a politician or not.

Thanks. We will make a decision shortly.

What do you plan to do?

Would you really land this plane just because he's important?

What would you do?

Huh?

If a passenger started demanding to be let off?

I don't care how much it costs.

The passenger is panicking. It's been 20 minutes since take off...

The plane is flying through thick cloud. Tell me...

As a pilot, what do you do?

Once we get through these clouds, we will be flying steady.

It's five hours to Hong Kong...

So I suppose we just have to keep going.

What should this aviophobic politician do?

Who cares if he is a politician. He'll have to be patient.

We can't waste the precious time of the other 300 passengers.

It was obviously a waste of time to ask for your opinion.

So what would you do, captain?

Ota and Togashi here.

I want to hear your opinions since you have dealt directly with Mr. Ogura.

I feel that we should keep flying to our destination.

The situation will improve as he calms down a bit.

I take responsibility for the situation and recommend continuing to Hong Kong.

Togashi?

I think we must consider turning back and making an emergency landing.

Why?

Mr. Ogura has a medical history of panic attacks.

His heart rate and breathing is fast.

He could have a heart attack.

We'll make an emergency landing at Narita.

Togashi, stay by Mr. Ogura.

Chief Ota, please inform the passengers.

Right.

Hurry!

Right.

Why? Because he's a politician?

What? We're going back to Narita.

Ask for clearance.

All Nippon 911. Return to Narita.

Requesting clearance.

This way.

Okay. This way.

Blood pressure is 110 over 80. Pulse is 96 and irregular.

Are you alright? Can you hear me?

The passenger is being taken to Keimei University Hospital.

If you had waited any longer, there would have been a risk of heart failure.

We thank you for deciding to return.

Of course. What is the status of the replacement flight?

We have a plane and crew ready.

Roger. Thank you for your promptness.

Passengers are all equal.

First class, business or economy. It doesn't matter.

You don't have to tell me that.

Just because he was a politician, you were biased against him.

You figured because he was a loud politician, he was just making a fuss.

What if it had been an old woman in economy class?

You would have gotten all worked up and demanded an emergency landing.

On our planes, there are passengers we like and passengers we don't.

Don't forget that we are responsible for every one of their lives.

Above all, think of the condition of the passengers.

If you're just going to sit there, you might as well be a trash can.

Hey, trash can!

When are you going to get moving?

Planning to get in the way of the mechanical crew?

I'm sorry.

Chief Ota.

Oh, Shinkai.

What have you got there?

I felt we had inconvenienced the mechanics by making them prepare another plane.

So I'm bringing them this.

Do you always do stuff like this?

I'm always very thankful to them.

See you, then.

Chief Ota, I'll take them today.

Don't worry. I'll be fine. No need.

Thank you.

About today...

It was a lack of judgment on my part.

I forgot the most important rule. I have to reflect on that.

Shinkai...

Yeah? Shinkai...

Let's do our best!

Sure.

Isn't it heavy?

It is pretty heavy. What is it?

It's called a Durian.

Oh! Those are the ones that stink, right?

I haven't tried one before. What's it like?

What are you talking about? A durian is the king of fruits.

But they stink, right?

The mechanics love them. They stink?

Fine, I'll carry them.

Please, I'll be fine.

Ogawa.

Yeah?

We have an emergency deployment tomorrow. We're going together.

Ok. Is it Haneda?

No, Honolulu.

What's wrong?

Sorry. Just a bit nervous.

Don't worry. Mechanics is a universal language.

Right.

Good evening.

Good evening. How can we help you?

You helped us with the replacement flight today and we wanted to thank you.

Thank you. Huh?

We brought the usual.

Thanks for your work.

But you don't always have to do this. It's our job after all.

Anyway, Ogawa. Meet tomorrow at 17:00 in the departure lobby. Don't forget your passport.

Passport? Are you going somewhere?

We're being deployed to Honolulu.

Oh?

I'll take that.

I ll help.

You okay?

I'm fine.

We'll take this one to the office.

See you.

Thank you.

Bye.

Hawaii sounds nice!

Forget about that. Why did you have an emergency landing?

Nothing big.

What? Did Koda upset you again?

Bingo.

Not bingo!

You're so easy.

Actually, a passenger scared of flying had a panic attack on board.

What's that?

But people scared of flying really do exist. I don't get it though.

You alright? What is it?

Are you working tonight?

I feel like eating barbecued meat but it's kind of lonely by myself, you know.

How about okonomiyaki then? You eat that a lot, right?

お好み焼き (okonomiyaki) - pizza-like pancake fried with various ingredients

I guess that makes me want it too.

I don't want to eat either.

It doesn't matter what we eat.

I have plans tonight.

Hey, wait a minute...

Good evening.

Shou-chan! Shou-chan!

I'm not Shou-chan, ok?

Shou-chan! Here!

You're always helping me so much.

Pretend it's me when you're eating it.

What?

It's tasty!

Tasty?

I'm back.

Welcome home.

You're so late. Can't you get home any earlier?

Sorry, work ran late today.

As always?

It would be nice if you were a bit more ladylike.

You even have a boyfriend, right?

I do not!

At least you're not going out with someone from your company.

Ayumi became a mechanic so nothing like that happens again.

I think that's very touching but...

Marrying a pilot is something I can't understand.

What would your parents think of that?

I get it, ok?

Make a prayer.

Here.

Oh. This?

It came again this year. 300,000 yen as usual.

Who keeps sending money on the anniversary of their death?

And why do they remain anonymous?

Even with the recession these days...

I'm glad I had you on board today.

I was happy that you trusted me.

It's not that I trusted you. I trusted your judgment.

Why do you go out of your way to say it like that?

You try to be mean on purpose.

You try to get people to dislike you.

I feel sorry for you.

Why blame yourself?

Captain Hasegawa is dead.

He didn't die because of you.

If you think that's true, you're mistaken.

And even what we had together...

It's all gone.

Sorry. I had one too many.

Why don't you come to my place?

Answer me already.

Asking again...

...requires more courage than asking the first time.

We can't go back to the way we were.

I'm not suggesting we go back.

Father, mother.

Tomorrow I'm...

Hey, I'm hungry.

Let's go eat somewhere.

Don't forget that we are responsible for every one of their lives.

Above all, think of the condition of the passengers.

Eating like a horse as usual.

Sorry. I saw your bike outside so I thought maybe you were here.

Friend?

My sister.

Sister? Nice to meet you. I'm an ANA...

This is Mr. Shinkai from my company.

He lives near here and often walks by.

Maybe I'll eat something too.

Can I sit here?

Go ahead.

What's wrong?

Roast vegetables and kimchi.

Are you a mechanic?

Actually no, I'm a pilot.

Well, I'm still new so I'm a Co-pilot.

Did I say something wrong?

No. Not at all.

Hey, you said you didn't want to eat okonomiyaki but you're stuffing yourself with it.

Stop talking that way.

I think I'm gonna leave first.

Why? Let's leave together.

But there's still lots left.

Finish it off okay?

Sorry for getting in the way.

Don't worry about it.

The food's on me, okay?

Thank you.

What a nice sister.

Yeah.

So you're leaving tomorrow?

You must feel honored to get that job.

Do your best.

I'm encouraging you and you can't even give me an answer.

I don't want to be encouraged.

Why not?

I don't want to go to Honolulu.

Are you crazy?

I'm scared of flying.

Huh?

I haven't flown before.

You haven't flown before?

No.

Not even once?

Seriously?

Seriously.

So you're nervous?

I am.

Usually, people afraid of flying don't become airplane mechanics.

So what are you going to do?

I'm going. It's my job.

I became an airplane mechanic because I was scared of flying.

I chose this job on purpose.

It probably doesn't make sense.

Being scared of flying wouldn't make sense to someone who loves it so much.

Did you just make me out for a fool or something?

Not really.

How could I take on such a job without knowing how scary the skies can be?

When I was in training...

We hit turbulence all of a sudden.

And we just fell out of the sky.

I pulled back on the stick as hard as I could to try to get the nose up.

But I hit the turbulence head on.

I lost control and the plane ended up like this.

With the engine howling.

I was holding on to the stick for dear life but I was completely hopeless.

My stomach was in knots.

And then the instructor took control and the horizon came back in no time at all.

I was so scared that time.

I really thought of quitting.

But you're still here.

I got over it.

The sky from Tokyo doesn't look like much.

But this is different.

You take off and leave everything behind you.

You fly up into the sky you were just looking up at before.

And you see this amazing color.

I guess it's blue.

An amazing tone of blue.

You know how people always talk about the glimmering light.

Up there it really glimmers.

And the sun is right there as well.

I don't know why but it's really moving.

I'm sure if you saw it even once you'd...

I'm flying at night.

You really like to be pessimistic.

You'll arrive in Honolulu in the morning.

Come on, you're a mechanic, right?

How can you not trust a plane that you worked on?

Oh, just shut up. I wish I hadn't asked for your advice.

That look is back.

What look?

You really are scared?

I'll be fine. Listening to you made me feel a bit better.

Really?

Really. I'll be totally fine.

I'm on standby!

Excuse me! Coming through!

Good morning!

Made it!

Good morning.

Hey!

Oh! You're on standby?

Yeah.

You flying today?

Yeah. Standby must suck. Everyone's getting sick recently.

The flu too.

Where are you going?

Honolulu.

Lucky you.

What?

Show me that.

Why? Show me that.

Just wanna see something.

Come here.

Thank you for flying with us today, Miss.

Huh?

I was on standby when the other guy got sick.

No way.

It's true.

So don't worry.

I'll make sure you have a real smooth flight.

Actually, I feel more nervous now. Maybe I should go home.

What does that mean?

I'm joking.

We look forward to seeing you on board.

The female mechanic?

She's apparently scared of flying.

So can you be extra careful around her?

I understand.

You'll recognize her by that evil look in her eyes.

Thanks.

Chief?

Yes?

Welcome aboard.

Good evening.

Good evening. We're the mechanics Ave and Ogawa.

Make yourselves at home.

I feel sick.

You asked for this flight, right?

Yes.

Any reason why?

I fancied a trip to the beach.

It's nice to be young.

Loading of cargo is complete.

Roger.

Would you like a magazine?

I'll be fine.

Would you like one?

Anything wrong?

No.

Are you not feeling well?

No, I'm fine.

If you aren't feeling...

I'm fine!

Ogawa?

Help...

Hm?

What is it?

Nothing. The final weight just came in.

Roger.

Weight set. 367 passengers.

I'm scared of flying.

I've never even flown before.

When I was in junior high school,

my best friend's parents died...

...in a plane crash.

What's wrong with you? Punch in the info.

Oh, sorry.

This is Shinkai in the cockpit.

The female mechanic you were talking about can't seem to calm down.

What is she saying?

She persists that she is all right.

You okay?

What is it?

She says she's okay, right?

Yeah.

What are you doing? We need to get out on time. Put in the data.

Okay.

Can't you respond to the captain's orders?

Hey!

She's afraid of flying.

Huh?

I don't feel good just leaving it.

The condition of the passengers is our number one priority.

Excuse me.

This is Shinkai.

Sorry, but could you put her on the line?

Yes, one moment please.

Hello?

Hello! This is Shinkai. Are you okay?

I told them I was fine.

Are you really okay?

It's my job. I can't just leave.

Don't go out of your way.

There's no reason to get worked up.

Frankly, if anything happened to you, I'd be unhappy.

Why is that?

Because I'm a pilot.

I'm in charge of every life on this plane.

How charming.

Sorry about that.

It's almost time to leave.

This is Shinkai.

One of the passengers disembarked so the total is now 375.

Copy that.

You're just like you're rumored to be.

And what is that?

Stupid, passionate and stubborn.

Sorry.

Stupid is bad.

But passionate and stubborn are the trademarks of a real pilot.

Don't lose them.

I won't.

Are you alright?

Huh?

Never mind.

I'm okay. I've calmed down.

Good to hear.

It seems impossible flying somewhere so far away.

Flight is no miracle.

Us crew and you mechanics work together. That's what makes flight possible.

Yeah.

Um...

Why are you telling this to me?

I'm just thankful for your hard work.

Hello?

Hello, is this Mr. Shinkai?

Yeah.

You have an international phone call. Shall I connect you now?

Okay. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Hello?

Hello.

Hi, this is Ogawa... the mechanic.

You don't really need to add the mechanic part.

You okay?

I wanted to say thanks.

Yeah?

To tell you the truth...

The second I realized I was really going to fly, I started shaking.

It was really scary. I didn't know what to do.

Thanks for helping me.

By the way...

Can I ask you something?

Um...

Why are you afraid of flying?

I'm sorry.

It's not that I'm hiding it, I just don't want to say it right now.

Oh.

I'll tell you someday.

Someday I'll fly.

Sure thing.

Okay, that's it.

Wait a second.

Hello?

Um...

Can you see the sun?

Yeah, I can.

I'm looking at it too. The same sun.

It's kind of odd. We're not that far apart.

And also...

I'll be sure to get you on one of my flights sometime.

And...

I'll show you that beautiful sky.

It's so amazing, I know you'll love it.

Trying to impress me again.

I'm just talking normally here.

Hello?

Hello?

Don't ignore me over the phone! Hello?

Thanks.

Now I'm running through the blue horizon.

Aoi suiheisen wo ima kakenuketeku

Feeling the sharp flow of time. OH.

Togisumasareta toki no nagare kanjite OH

The world moving towards love.

Tokimeki he to ugokidasu sekai wa

It was a distant dream that I started to forget.

Ride On Time samayou omoi nara

gently embrace me and slowly wrap me.
