Remember that one twelve years ago,

that Grand Share Airline which crashed in Arizona?

Koda was supposed to fly that plane...

but he got sick,

and the guy on standby flew instead.

He's still struggling with that accident inside himself.

What's wrong?

Hey.

What? Did I say something wrong?

I just meant...

I'm going home. I just meant...

Wait! What's wrong all of a sudden?

Was it something I said?

I'm sorry.

What does "sorry" mean?

I'm sorry.

Wait...

Ayumi?

Why are the lights off?

What's wrong?

Where's the money?

The money?

The money that comes every year on the anniversary of Mom and Dad's death.

The money is all in the bank.

We can't use it if we don't even know who sent it.

Don't look!

Sorry...

Shou-chan!

Yeah?

Aren't you going to ask why I'm crying?

Well... what's wrong?

Like I'd tell you!

Huh?

I wish I never met you, Shou-chan!

It's not like I wanted to meet you in the first place.

Don't be so nice to me!

You don't understand!

What did you say?

I don't get it.

Excuse me.

By any chance, is Ogawa around?

Ogawa?

Well, umm...

I wanted to talk about last week's flight 918...

Well...

About the FMC.

Ogawa is in the training center preparing for drills.

Oh, right. Drills are this week.

If you want to talk about the FMC, I can help you.

NOTE: FMC (Flight Management Computer) performs calculations for the auto-pilot system.

That's okay. I have a flight now. If you want to talk about the FMC I can help you.

I'll catch you later.

Today we're off to Seoul.

Let's make a perfect landing.

Why? Because it's a private school charter flight?

No. Because I'm meeting my ex-wife for the first time in five years.

What does that have to do with the landing?

Good morning.

Good morning. Good morning.

Do you have a flight?

Yes, to Seoul.

The day after tomorrow, we have emergency landing drills.

Don't forget.

What?

What's so fascinating?

Nothing! Let's go.

Please sit down!

Stop it, old woman! Please sit down!

Stop it, old woman!

Old woman?

Hey, do stewardesses get lots of guys?

I don't know!

Tell me your phone number. Let's get together!

Maybe next time.

All right!

Maybe in 10 years.

Thanks for waiting.

Excuse me, Mr. Stewardess! Thanks for waiting.

Yes?

Can I see the cockpit?

Me too!

I'm sorry, that isn't allowed.

Is the pilot handsome? I'm sorry, that isn't allowed.

What kind of person is he?

I want to see!

Can't you do anything? Please.

See the cockpit?

They really want to see it.

Ota, my man. What are you talking about?

You know that's not allowed.

Yes, I know that.

I think they would be happy even if you just made an announcement.

Why is that?

You guys are supposed to take care of the passengers.

That's right.

You're very right. I'm sorry to bother you.

Chief Ota?

Is there something wrong?

Pardon?

Anything wrong?

It's embarrassing,

but it reminds me of my son who just entered middle school.

Really? You have a son?

Sorry. That has nothing to do with anything.

Please forget about it. Sorry for bothering you.

Can I do one?

What?

An announcement.

Why?

Once,

I once got to see the cockpit on a flight,

It really moved me.

That's why.

I'm sorry but, as I thought, it's forbidden.

Students of Hamasaka Gakuen Junior High School...

Hello and thank you for flying with us.

I'm the Co-pilot, Shinkai.

I heard that a few of you wanted to see the cockpit.

It makes me unhappy but, because of safety regulations, we can't do that.

So instead...

Everyone be quiet!

I'll try to talk a bit about the cockpit.

The word cockpit comes from a small cage where you put a chicken.

In that small cage, the chicken only has room to stick out its head and peck at its food.

In the same way, the cockpit is small but lined with instruments.

And in that space, the Pilot and Co-pilot work together to fly the plane.

You have.

NOTE: "You have'' is an aviation phrase to transfer control of an aircraft.

What?

It's not "what?"! You have!

I have.

NOTE: "I have it" is confirmation of taking control.

Everyone, I am the aforementioned chicken in the cage.

We pilots strive to make every flight a safe one.

Today, you can expect no mistakes and no accidents on your adventure to Seoul.

Please enjoy your trip today.

From the cockpit, with love.

Signed, Captain Jane Naito.

Good luck! Not that you'll need it.

They liked it.

No need to say "No mistakes and no accidents."

Why?

It's a foregone conclusion.

Of course.

But you said that.

I said it, but think.

There are pilots flying who have experienced such things.

What?

You've heard, right? About Koda at his old company.

No...

You don't have a very good poker face.

You've got to give it to Koda. He has courage.

If that happened to me, I'd be too afraid to fly again.

You too, right?

I can't imagine flying being scary.

I'm scared of flying.

It's not that I'm hiding it,

I just don't want to say it right now.

When I was in junior high school,

my best friend's parents died...

in a plane crash.

Is anything wrong?

Why did you tell me to tell Shinkai you weren't here?

He's annoying.

He isn't trying to force you into anything, is he?

If so, I'll be happy to tell him to back off.

Of course, just as your superior.

It's not like that.

Just a little disagreement.

Ogawa!

Are you ok?

Ouch!

Hey, are you okay?

It hurts.

Hi there!

Oh, hi! Where did you arrive from?

Seoul and back in one day.

I came from Dalian.

Umm... Togashi...

Want to have a cup of tea or something?

You must want to ask me something.

Set CDU: Narita approach.

Runway 3-4 Left.

Roger. Runway 3-4 Left.

Standing by to execute.

Execute.

So you know about the Grand Share crash twelve years ago?

How Koda was supposed to be on that flight.

So if you know that you must know

about how Koda and I used to be together.

Until I heard from Captain Yamagami, I had no idea...

I must be an idiot.

Nah, we're just fellow workers now.

I respect him as a pilot.

But the past is the past. It was a long time ago.

Koda used to be a lot like you.

He loved flying so much.

He'd get all worked up and always said what he thought.

I really loved him.

So...

Yeah?

Why did you break up?

Well, that day,

the day of the accident,

we were together.

Koda had a horrible fever and called for the standby pilot.

I didn't have a flight that day,

So I went over to his place to help him feel better.

His fever finally started dropping and we put on the TV.

There was a news bulletin,

A Grande Share airplane...

A Grand Share airplane...had crashed.

It was the same plane he was supposed to be on.

A lot of passengers died.

The pilot that took over for him died also.

I...

can't forget his face to this day.

We had no choice but to break up...

after sharing such a sad day.

We couldn't think of the future anymore.

Togashi?

Yes? Togashi?

You still love Koda, don't you?

I do.

If so...

I wish you two could get over it.

Not living in the past but

living in the present.

And then...

You two can think of the future again.

I'm sorry for making it sound so simple.

You're completely right, Shinkai.

You really are.

Excuse me.

Ogawa has already left.

Okay.

Have a good day.

Shinkai!

I think she's at the clinic.

Clinic?

Ogawa injured herself on the job.

Injured?

Good work.

Good job.

What's she thinking?

Excuse me, is the mechanic Ogawa here?

Ms. Ogawa?

Thank you very much.

Oh, sorry, here she is now.

Did you hurt yourself? Are you ok?

How do you know?

What happened?

I'm fine. No stitches. It's not that bad.

Be more careful!

Hands are everything to a mechanic.

What?

Thanks.

Hm? No.

I'll take you home.

What? I'll take you home.

How can you grip the clutch with that hand?

Sorry about before.

Right.

I was just a bit surprised.

Aren't you going to ask why?

Am I allowed?

Do you remember?

When I told you why I became a mechanic.

Yeah.

Your friend's parents died in a plane crash, right?

Right.

It wasn't my friend's parents.

The truth is it was my parents.

They won a trip to America in a department store sweepstakes.

They had never been overseas so they were really excited.

My sister and I saw them off telling them to bring lots of souvenirs.

But then...

There was the plane crash in America.

They both died.

Maybe it's hard to believe but...

The plane that Koda was supposed to fly...

It was...

That was the same one my parents were on.

What?

Huh?

I thought you'd be really surprised.

I thought you'd say, "No way! Are you serious?!"

You must think I'm really stupid.

I knew something was up after you told me you were afraid to fly.

How should I act around Koda from now on?

To be accepted as a mechanic by a great pilot like Koda,

I was really happy.

But it was just sympathy...

Or some kind of way to make himself feel better.

That's not true.

I don't know, but...

Maybe that's how he was thinking at first, but...

Now he sees how hard you work.

How do you feel about it?

Huh?

Do you have a grudge against... not Koda... well, Grand Share Airlines?

I did.

But not now.

That didn't make the pain go away.

I still can't fly.

But I understand that people do their best to fly safely.

So I really feel privileged to have become a mechanic.

Honestly.

So you should say that to Koda.

Eh?

Tell him you're living your life.

Tell him you're not hung up on the past.

Tell him he should think of you just as a mechanic.

It's not that easy.

Eh? Why?

I was really shocked.

The person I respected so much turned out to be related to the crash.

Stop trying to be the heroine of some Greek tragedy.

That hurt!

I'm not trying to be like that.

Sure you are. I'm not trying to be like that.

"I was really shocked."

You know, not everyone in this world just says what they think.

What does that mean?

I can't believe you, I'm going home.

Get in.

I'm fine, I'll walk home.

Will you really?

I will. Will you really?

So you don't need your stuff.

I'll take you on my ship.

What? I'll take you on my ship.

I said I'll take you on my ship.

What? Where are we?

Don't worry. Just wait a second. What? Where are we?

Dad. Get the boat out.

Dad?

Hey,

Would you be able to take us on the boat tonight as paying customers?

No?

What? No boat?

There's a night fishing trip. Makoto is driving.

No way.

Next time, make a reservation.

What the hell...?

We came all this way for nothing.

The boat isn't here.

Hey! The boat isn't here.

What are you doing?

What? What are you doing?

Come in.

Why?

have some fresh fish. I'll make sashimi.

I'm not hungry. You?

I'm not talking to you. I'm not hungry. You?

It's for our customer... as...

What? It's for our customer... as...

An apology.

That's new. An apology.

Is sashimi fine?

Yeah.

Come in.

How amazing.

The daughter of a couple killed in the crash is working at the same company as you.

Both of you are working with the motto of not letting that happen again.

Are you going to talk to her?

If you don't, you'll never get over the past.

I talked to Shinkai about a lot.

I realized I'm caught up in the past as well.

Of course accidents are horrible.

But I...

I want you to get over the past.

I want to as well.

Good night.

See you later.

Amazing!

Well, I had to raise two boys on my own.

Didn't I mention that?

My Mom died giving birth to my brother.

Are these chopsticks okay?

Until then, my Dad was a long distance fisherman.

My brother was still a baby. So he started this business.

What's with the flower?

Sake. What's with the flower?

Huh?

Add this sake.

I'm driving. I can't drink. Add this sake.

It's for the customer.

Idiot.

You don't have to call me an idiot. You want some?

Sure.

Why do I have to get it?

Here you are.

Thanks. Here you are.

Thank you for your kindness.

When my wife died,

I was on a vessel on the Indian Ocean.

It took me ten days to get back to Japan.

He was in junior high school.

He had to do everything from the funeral to looking after the baby.

When I got back,

He was angry and crying.

But, you know...

After he hit me a few times,

He never uttered a single complaint.

Not that he's got much else going for him...

But that alone makes me proud.

I'm back.

Who's that?

Your woman?

She's not my woman.

Of course she is. She's not my woman.

She's my friend from work. Which one do you want?

So you're a stewardess? She's my friend from work. Which one do you want?

Sorry, but I'm a mechanic.

That sucks. Sorry, but I'm a mechanic.

Shut up and go wash your hands.

Ouch! Shut up and go wash your hands.

Go wash your hands!

Stop being such an ass. Go wash your hands!

Stop making such a racket!

Have some sake.

Thank you. Have some sake.

You too.

Thank you. You too.

He didn't say anything odd, did he?

Nope. He didn't say anything odd, did he?

Come on!

Nice to meet you. I'm Makoto.

You too Nice to meet you. I'm Makoto.

What's with the flowers?

Flowers!

I heard.

You were supposed to fly on the same plane my parents died on.

Yes.

I'm very sorry.

I... have no intention of criticizing you.

Take this back.

It was you that sent this money every year on the anniversary of my parents death, wasn't it?

I didn't want it to be true.

Why would you send money?

You didn't even cause the crash.

I wasn't careful and got sick.

As a result, I had to miss that flight.

If I had been able to fly that day,

I might have prevented the accident.

That's just being arrogant. I might have prevented the accident.

That crash was caused by a system malfunction.

As both a victim and a mechanic, I studied the cause of the crash a lot.

At first I was mad.

I didn't understand why it had to happen.

I wanted them to give me back my Father and Mother.

I became a mechanic instead of holding a grudge my entire life.

My sister and I are doing well by ourselves.

We're going on with our lives.

But...

This money that comes every year reminds us.

It always reminds us that we're victims.

Reminds us that people feel sorry for us.

We don't want to be felt sorry for.

We're not the daughters of a couple that died in a plane crash.

We're Ogawa Kaori and Ogawa Ayumi.

You're the one I feel sorry for.

You're stuck in the past blaming yourself.

Sending this money makes you feel better.

Please stop sending money.

And...

Look at me as a mechanic, please.

Just as I look at you as a pilot.

That's how you get over the past.

I did it.

It's over.

Yeah?

You know what?

Take me on your next flight.

I want to try flying.

I want to try to go above the clouds.

Sure.

When is good?

Hmm...

We have drills starting tomorrow, right?

So next week.

Next week. Let's see...

How's Honolulu?

Hawaii?

Yeah. I have 3 days in Hawaii starting Monday. Hawaii?

I wonder if I can get tickets.

Good point.

Shall I give you the reservation number?

What are you crying for now?

Shut up.

If you want to cry, how about doing it high in the sky?

Ouch!

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry! Ouch!

I can't believe you.

That's where I cut myself. Don't be so rough!

You don't have to be so mean.

It hurts, that's all.

I was waiting for you all this time. It hurts, that's all.

Oww...

What's your problem? Oww...

It was all going well until then...

The plane is coming in.

We will now start emergency landing drills for 2003.

I have one thing to say. Don't underestimate today.

Today may just be training but,

the same thing might happen on a flight tomorrow.

Everybody should pretend that this is a real flight.

Anyone who thinks of this as just a drill can leave now.

The roles have been assigned.

Whether you play as a passenger or a crew member, do it seriously.

Meet at the plane.

Sorry for being late.

Huh?

Today I am managing these drills.

You be the captain.

What's wrong?

Uh... What's wrong?

Nothing.

Why does he get to be a pilot and we have to be passengers anyway?

Koda loves him. There's nothing we can do.

I can't accept that.

Ayumi! I can't accept that.

Let's do our best to work together!

Please sit down, sir. Let's do our best to work together!

Please sit down, sir. I'm talking.

I'm talking.

Please buckle your seat belt. I'm talking.

Let go!

Please, be quiet. Let go!

You...!

She asked me a favor.

She wants to come on my next flight.

I intend to take her to Honolulu next week.

I see.

I want you to have more fun.

Enjoy flying.

We're in training. Don't get distracted.

Let's get started.

Roger. Let's get started.

This is your captain speaking.

Due to a malfunction with landing gear, this plane is returning to Narita.

I'm pregnant! Due to a malfunction with landing gear, this plane is returning to Narita.

The landing gear won't deploy fully.

It shouldn't be a big problem but there is a chance of a rough landing.

Please follow the orders of the cabin crew and remain calm.

We will now explain how to brace for landing.

Please consult your safety booklet.

I'm scared, honey! You should protect me at a time like this. Put your hands together and in front of you.

I love you. Put your hands together and in front of you.

Thank you. I love you, too.

Thirty seconds to landing.

Brace for impact.

Brace for impact. Heads down.

Ten seconds to landing.

Eight.

Seven.

Six.

Five seconds.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

It will be all right!

Help! I don't want to get hurt. Get me off the plane! It will be all right!

Engines all cut.

Evacuate the plane.

Passenger verification checklist.

Passenger verification checklist is complete.

I'm leaving the cockpit.

I'm afraid of heights.

Take the baby. I'm going.

Please follow the orders of the crew.

Please leave quickly.

Is there anyone still here?

It's going to be okay.

Are you okay?

Yes. Good.

Is anyone there?

What is it?

Are you okay?

Yes. I'm fine.

Wait there.

Is anyone there?

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Captain?

This is the last passenger.

I'll follow her out so go ahead.

Understood!

Let's go.

Be careful.

This is the last passenger.

Watch out!

Shinkai!

Now I'm running through the blue horizon.

Aoi suiheisen wo ima kakenuketeku

Shinkai!

This is bad.

Shinkai!

Shinkai!

Got it! Call an ambulance!

It was a distant dream that I started to forget.
