Aegis - the mythical shield of the Greek god, Zeus.

A ship armed with the Aegis system is the ultimate defensive weapon.

But dare we ask - what is the purpose of such a shield...

...if a country cannot even justify its own existence?

A country without a blueprint for its future?

If Japan cannot change -

- it will no longer be worth defending.

Then Aegis will be nothing more than a shield for a lost nation.

The children of today hold Japan's future in their hands.

What will we pass on to them?

What will they inherit from our generation?

What should we do to ensure Japan will be a nation worth inheriting?

I'II be in the Command Room.

Yes, sir.

We are now in possession of GUSOH.

If you make another attempt at recovery...

...we will immediately unleash it.

Louder.

Make no mistake - we are acting independently.

Not on behalf of any nation.

And now, a demonstration of our resolve.

One of our members will prove we have GUSOH.

The voice on the tape...

...is Major Pao Yeung Fan.

Bye bye, Daddy!

Be careful!

Is Kaori there?

Kaori? Is that you?

Still up, huh?

No, nothing's going on.

Just wondering how you were.

Hello?

How are things at school?

What? No, I don't think I can get away.

Listen, I've got to go. I'll call again.

Give my best to your grandpa and grandma.

Good luck at the track meet.

Bye.

CPO here.

Yes...

What?

- What's going on? - Tadokoro. What else?

Tadokoro?

OK fellows, let's go. On your feet.

It's the chiefl

What the hell's going on?

Hold it! Who are you?

I'm sorry, officer. These are my men.

Chief Petty Officer Sengoku. From the destroyer Isokaze.

I was about to contact you.

How the hell did this happen?

Just a welcome party for Kisaragi. They jumped us.

Sorry sir! It won't happen again!

That skinny one over there?

He whipped them all, single-handed.

OK, who pulled the knife?

You boys are in deep shit.

You must've trained him well.

All right, let's go.

Look, it's their first shore leave in months.

Can't you give them a break?

Sorry. Those kids are in bad shape.

We'll see they're taken care of.

Your men will be out in a day or two.

OK, let's go! You, you... and you!

Let's go. Move it!

Please accept my deepest apologies!

I can't just overlook this.

Permission to enter!

If you ask me, I'd pull their shore leave for a month.

A whole month!

Tadokoro.

Sir!

You're gonna miss your rating exam.

It won't happen again, sir!

I can't miss the exam.

My wife will kill me.

Your wife!

Swab the deck in shifts 'till the exercises are over.

Yes, sir!

I'm sorry, sir! It won't happen again!

That's it. You're dismissed.

Yes, sir!

What is it?

Something on your mind?

Do you always grovel before authority?

What was that!

Taps, sailor. Get some sleep.

Kisaragi, that his name?

Command dumped him on us in Yokosuka.

That boy's trouble.

So, you finally called her?

Ah... well...

Only person you'd call on this phone is Kaori.

And? How is she?

It's amazing. She sounds just like her mother.

How old is she now?

Almost in junior high school.

She was only in kindergarten when Yoriko died.

We're both getting too old.

Chief Navigation Officer, take the helm.

Rudders amidships.

Steady on course two one zero.

I have the helm.

Rudders amidships. Steady on course two one zero.

Isokaze is under way to the exercise area.

Destroyer Urakaze is already on station.

It's good to be on the bridge.

You can't see the ocean from the CIC. Can't breathe there.

I appreciate your help, Captain.

Don't mention it.

I can't understand what the brass were thinking.

Posting you to shore at a time like this.

If I were 10 years younger...

...I would've joined your study group, Miyatsu.

Prepare for combat exercises at 1630 hours.

At 1635 hours, combat alert.

Chief!

Several of the crew on liberty were in a fight last night.

And?

CPO Sengoku handled it personally. There was no report.

That's a judgment for the chief petty officer.

- But sir... - That's all, Ensign.

Go to combat at 1640 hours.

Executive Officer.

Enter.

Lt. Commander Mizoguchi and Ensign Yamazaki, from the FTG.

Lt Commander Mizoguchi, Fleet Training Group.

I'll be observing the exercises with my support staff.

We've never met, have we?

No, Sir.

The Intelligence Bureau director.

It's been a week.

What the hell is DAIS up to?

I'll tell you when I can.

You have to keep us informed.

Hey Kikumasa!

Yes, Sir.

How's your grandma?

Grandma Tome.

It's Kume, sir.

Ah, right.

Call her now and then, you hear? You're all she's got.

I will, sir. Thank you.

Doesn't suit me?

No.

But you know...

...it helps keep my mind off things.

I see it everyday, but I still can't get the colors right.

Red.

Huh?

Try using more red.

No kidding! You paint too?

No.

You're right! Just what it needed.

Hey! Give me a hand here.

C'mon, paint something.

That's an order.

Who kept you out of jail last night?

- Hey, that's good! - Your brush...

You should get a new brush.

What're you doing on a destroyer?

I've got nowhere else to go.

Got it. Same here.

I've got nowhere else.

Up all hands!

Hey look, it's the chief!

Cut it out!

Sleeping in your clothes again?

Saves time in the morning, stupid.

Good morning, Kisaragi.

Morning.

I'm starved.

What's the deal with those FTG guys?

What about the FTG?

There's a guard outside their gear locker.

A guard?

Since when do we need 14 guys observing exercises, anyway?

Guess it means they're going to be riding us hard this time.

Kisaragi left that for you just now, sir.

Kisaragi?

Chief?

Yeah, what's up?

Listen, it's about Kisaragi.

What about him?

No time for talk!

Get to your station!

Commence recovery of training torpedo!

Heave!

Look out!

Kikumasa!

Answer me!

Kikumasa!

Isokaze's current position is 33.44 degrees North...

...137.07 degrees East.

Hey...

How am I going to tell your grandma?

Attention all hands.

We are proceeding north to the next area of operations...

...at the mouth of Tokyo Bay.

Maintain Stage Three alert.

Battle exercises with Urakaze commence tomorrow at sunset.

Remain vigilant at all times for possible air and surface attacks.

Chief?

Why are we continuing the exercises?

We should be returning to port.

The exercises are vitally important.

They can't be aborted.

What are you saying? We lost a crewman!

I'm not putting Kikumasa in the lockers with the meat and fish!

I'm going to the skipper.

Wait!

Sugiura!

That's enough.

If I tell you the truth, you'll have to share the burden with us.

Are you prepared?

I'm the senior chief petty officer.

It's my duty to know everything that's happening on this ship.

Come in.

Ensign Yamazaki will brief you.

CPO Sengoku, we're not from the Fleet Training Group.

Lt. Mizoguchi and the rest of us are with Defense Agency Intelligence.

DAIS?

Sit down, Chief.

No. Please continue.

Go ahead.

A foreign agent has infiltrated your crew.

We're here to prevent him from completing his mission.

That's why we needed a cover story.

A foreign agent?

On the Isokaze?

Do you know his identity?

Just before you put to sea...

...a crewman joined on emergency orders.

Now hold on -

When he joined you, Kisaragi brought something with him.

You mean he smuggled something onboard?

GUSOH. A chemical weapon developed by the US military.

GUSOH?

One liter is enough to annihilate everyone in Tokyo.

It was stolen last June, during transport from a US base in Okinawa.

No!

Kisaragi's not that kind of man.

He's just a pawn.

The mastermind is a former intelligence operative named Pao Yeung Fan.

He abducted Kisaragi and trained him as his agent.

Hey, you!

Yeung Fan is tracking the Isokaze in a submarine.

He plans to seize this ship when Kisaragi makes his move.

To recover GUSOH and capture Yeung Fan...

...we must remain at sea and wait for their next move.

Now do you understand?

No, I don't.

Whatever your mission is...

...I can't just leave Kikumasa where he is.

Chief Petty Officer Sengoku.

Seaman Apprentice Kikumasa's death was no accident.

And he was not the first.

They've already killed a Defense Academy cadet.

The cadet posted this thesis on his home page.

Evidently, Yeung Fan took an interest.

Everything begins with that thesis.

I am a cadet at the Defense Academy, studying at taxpayer expense.

Next year I will be a commissioned naval officer.

But even after three years of study...

...I cannot fathom the meaning of "defending one's country."

This nation has turned a blind eye...

...to its fundamentally illogical defensive policies.

Pondering this, I despair for my country.

A nation's strength is not founded on its resources, GNP, or military.

Strength comes from a unique system of values; from history and culture.

Yet, we Japanese have forgotten how to even ask...

...who we are as a nation, or what we have to offer the world.

We have even abandoned shame, the one ideology we held dear.

There is not one Japanese value we can hold up to the world.

Today, this country has become completely alienated...

...from its national essence.

Is Japan today a nation in name only?

They were from different nations, but they shared a love of country.

That's probably how Yeung Fan befriended the cadet.

A young Japanese...

...yearning to hold his head high before the world.

How ironic that it was a foreigner...

...who took the young man's aspirations seriously.

We put the cadet under surveillance.

But Yeung Fan detected our presence.

He staged a car accident. The student was killed...

...and Yeung Fan disappeared.

What about the skipper?

He knows about this, right?

Sir?

Why won't you tell me?

Someone has already murdered Captain Kinugasa.

He's dead?

This man saw Kisaragi enter the captain's quarters.

Emergency! Hull breach!

Don't let the engine room flood!

Get out of there!

Hurry!

Damage Control. Number two weapons bay.

Move it!

What happened?

It's Kisaragi! He aimed a gun at us!

Don't open itl

It's rigged to blow!

Explosives?

Right!

What's the situation?

She's dead!

Take it easy.

We're not from the police.

He wants us to stop engines...

...and abandon ship in 10 minutes, or he'll sink us.

All right, then.

Where are you going?

We added an inspection hatch during the last overhaul.

Kisaragi won't know about it.

Where is it?

No. The moment he sees one of you...

...he might trigger the detonator.

If it's me, we have a chance.

I'm still his commanding officer.

Lieutenant Commander?

All right.

Take this.

Report to Engine Room Two.

Get out!

Kisaragi!

It's me!

It's Sengoku!

Get back!

I'll sink this ship!

Hold it!

You know what I want!

Don't move!

What the hell is this?

It's none of your business!

Yes it is!

Put that down and disarm the explosives!

No? Fine. If you won't, then I will.

No!

Do you know what you're doing? Answer me!

Shut up! This is my duty.

Your duty?

This is your duty?

Don't touch that!

How dare you bring this on board.

Why did you kill the captain?

What have you done?

Why do I have to point this at you?

I didn't kill him.

No?

Then, what about Kikumasa?

I was the real target.

That's enough.

I know everything. I know you're an agent for someone named Yeung Fan.

It's over. Give it up.

Those FTG men are really from DAIS.

They're here to stop you.

They aren't DAIS.

Stop it!

Don't you get it?

Mizoguchi is Yeung Fan.

Miyatsu and the COs - they're all in on it.

Do you really expect me to believe that?

Open that door and GUSOH will be launched against Tokyo!

I work for DAIS.

My mission is to keep Miyatsu under surveillance...

...and stop him if he acts.

Then tell me this.

Can you sink this ship knowing the crew will die?

It's my duty.

That's why I'm here.

Is that so?

I'm going to protect this ship and its crew.

That's my duty.

That's why I'm here.

Ensign Sakai. Secure that hatch.

Yes, sir.

And the brush?

Why did you give me that brush?

I didn't need it any more.

I see.

Run!

It's over!

Come on!

Let me go!

Chief petty officer.

This is my final order as executive officer.

The Isokaze's hull has been severely damaged by a foreign agent.

The ship is in danger of sinking.

I order you and all petty officers and seamen to abandon ship.

You will wait for rescue at sea.

You can't be serious!

- Get back! - Commander!

Abandon ship if you want to live.

All hands, prepare to abandon ship.

Prepare to abandon ship. This is not a drill.

- Hey. - Those are the orders.

The Japanese have such a gift for following orders.

Flooding restricted to two compartments.

We're still seaworthy.

All right. That's all of them.

Why aren't the COs leaving the ship?

Hey, where's Kisaragi? Kisaragi, where are you?

Kisaragi! Answer!

You're in charge now.

What?

Why are you breaking out the respirator?

Chief...

Hey, what are you doing?

I left something behind.

What? Wait! Sengoku!

They're headed straight for Tokyo Bay.

Yeung Fan is aboard.

And so is GUSOH.

What about Kisaragi?

He's not responding.

Urakaze re-establishing Link 17.

She's rescinding the exercise protocol.

From Urakaze, sir.

Patch it to the speakers.

Yes, sir.

Go ahead.

This is the captain of the Urakaze. You are ordered to stop engines.

I'm afraid Isokaze is no longer under Fleet Command's control.

What does that mean, Captain Kinugasa?

This is Miyatsu, the executive officer.

The XO?

Where's the captain?

I am now in command of this vessel.

Commander, what are you saying?

If you ignore this order, we will stop you from proceeding further.

The rules of engagement state that unless we attack first...

...you cannot fire a single round.

Attack first, or retreat.

You have two choices, Captain.

I have no intention of doing either.

We both have our orders!

He's serious.

Go to battle stations.

All hands to battle stations! This is not a drill!

Repeat, this is not a drill!

Disengage Link 17.

Prepare for surface combat.

Prepare for surface combat!

Prepare Harpoon launch.

Target, Urakaze. Tubes one and two.

Target, Urakaze. Tubes one and two.

Target is 33.13 degrees North, 138.41 degrees East.

Harpoons standing by.

Initiate launch sequence!

Launch tube one, ready.

Fire!

Harpoons!

High velocity incoming contact from Isokaze!

Probable Harpoon launch!

We have Harpoon launch by Isokaze.

Fire control, stand by.

Radar contact lost!

Launch tube two, ready.

Fire!

ESM indicates target is definitely Harpoon.

I've reacquired the target. It's coming straight in!

Incoming missile! Prepare to launch Sea Sparrows!

Ready to engage target!

Stand by.

Fire!

Five seconds to intercept.

Stand by.

Mark intercept!

No intercept!

Engage with main gun!

Preparing to engage!

Ready -

Commence fire!

Target destroyed! New contact incoming!

Launch chaff!

There's no time.

Brace for impact!

Impact!

Take a good look, Japan.

This is war.

Communications officer.

Get me Fleet Command.

Welcome to the Defense Agency, Mr. Prime Minister.

Meeting attendance is restricted.

Will this take long?

Excuse me?

I've got to get back to my district today!

I have the connection.

Executive officer, Isokaze to Fleet Command.

Be advised that Isokaze is no longer under your command.

I want a direct com link to the government by 0230 hours.

Retargeting of our missiles is now complete.

The target is Tokyo.

The missiles are armed with non-conventional warheads.

Repeat.

The missiles are armed with non-conventional warheads.

He's insane!

Open, damn it!

The prime minister is here.

Why is this happening on my watch?

PORTIONS OF TOKYO BAY CLOSED FOR MINE SWEEPING OPERATIONS

That's enough.

Yes sir.

Admiral Minamoto. Would you?

Certainly.

The hijacked destroyer...

...is equipped with an advanced Aegis defense system.

Aegis includes a powerful 360-degree radar array...

...fully integrated with the ship's weapon control systems.

The Aegis system can track and attack dozens of targets simultaneously.

This makes Isokaze virtually impervious to threats from the air.

Its vulnerability to submarine attack...

...is basically similar to other destroyers.

But the navigation channel at the mouth of the bay...

...is only 20 meters deep.

That would severely hamper submarine operations.

Sir.

So the hijackers have taken that into account.

Yes.

In other words, there's nothing we can do?

What's your assessment, Director General?

Judging from current weather conditions...

...if GUSOH is released over the center of Tokyo...

...the chemical agent will be dispersed over a radius of 30 kilometers.

This is our simulation.

We have a visual of Isokaze.

Can't see a thing.

Can't we get satellite imagery?

Yes, in daylight.

But it won't be in position 'till well after sunrise.

Never mind that now.

I want to know who the hell these people are!

Get on with it!

Commander Hirotaka Miyatsu...

...and 19 commissioned officers are still on board.

Furthermore, we know that 14 men boarded at Yura.

They were posing as FTG staff.

We have no record of these men in the Defense Agency files.

Then who are they?

Come on, it's Yeung what's-his-name.

So your hunch was right.

Sir, it's the Isokaze!

This is the destroyer Isokaze.

These are our demands.

This is the prime minister.

Commander Miyatsu. You are a Japanese naval officer.

I want you to stand down...

...and place yourself under Fleet Command immediately.

Our demands. Number one.

You will announce the existence...

...of the US Army's chemical weapon, GUSOH.

You will announce to the world...

...that you permitted GUSOH on Japanese soil...

...and reveal the facts about the destruction of Henoko.

Two, you will reveal that the Defense Agency Intelligence Service...

...or DAIS, was responsible for the death of a Defense Academy cadet...

...on the Tomei Expressway near the Atsugi Interchange...

...on December 29th of last year.

Demand number three.

The major newspapers will print the murdered cadet's thesis...

...titled "The Shield of Aegis" in its entirety.

You have ten hours.

If our demands are not met...

...we will immediately launch our missiles at Tokyo.

Commander Miyatsu!

Do you realize what you're saying?

That is all. I will communicate -

Wait! Miyatsu! It's Minamoto.

Why did you sink the Urakaze? She didn't attack you!

Those bastards!

Offense is the best defense.

That's the first rule of combat.

A military that cannot use force is unfit to defend Japan.

If Japan cannot use force, it's unfit to be a nation!

All commissioned officers on board...

...belong to a national defense study group led by Miyatsu.

How'd they all end up on the same ship?

Actually -

Two weeks ago...

...the assignment officer at fleet headquarters committed suicide.

They must've threatened him.

You knew about this, right?

DAIS knew about this all along, and yet, you did nothing?

Your obsession with secrecy is the cause of all this!

DAIS is not a law enforcement agency.

If that's the case...

...shouldn't the Intelligence Bureau have handled this?

One of our agents is already aboard the Isokaze.

We've dispatched a squad on the submarine Setoshio.

Would you mind telling me on whose orders?

Enough.

Have they said anything?

Who?

Who else? The Americans!

Looks like we misjudged Miyatsu.

Any idea what Yeung Fan's planning?

No missile or fighter can penetrate an Aegis ship's defenses.

He's going to take GUSOH back home...

...spark a rebellion, and overthrow his government.

He won't use it here.

Can you be sure of that?

I wouldn't count on it.

Lend me your handkerchief. Forgot mine.

Next course change at 0720 hours, speed 12 knots.

All right.

Can they see that moon in your country right now?

Do you know many children will die today?

Go ahead, sir.

This is Isokaze.

What is your response to our demands?

We haven't reached a decision.

But Commander Miyatsu-

Japan's government was not involved in the death of that cadet.

Also, I can assure you...

...there is no secret intelligence organization called DAIS.

Then you won't have any objections to us disposing of this Kisaragi...

...who attempted to prevent us from acting.

That's correct. You can do whatever you want with him.

They betrayed you.

Like you betrayed Japan?

Hang on, man...

I've lost them!

What was that sound?

Watertight Door Three has been destroyed!

What do you mean, destroyed?

I thought we got everyone off!

Ensign Kazama.

Fire one of your missiles into Tokyo Bay.

Let them know we're serious.

Stop!

You have no authority here.

All right everybody, stay calm.

Listen up, everyone. I know you can hear me.

This is the CPO.

I hate to disobey an order.

But it's my duty to protect this ship.

So here I am.

You people are out of business.

CO2 fire extinguishing system activated.

Emergency respirators!

Ensign Sakai reports intruder at Control Station Four!

Sakai!

Why?

Hold your fire!

Get down!

Hold it tight!

Why'd you come back?

Come on!

Hurry!

The ship's layout.

You want to say something?

Sugiura?

I'm through with being human.

Commander.

We've got four dead, including Kirusu.

They're still on Deck Three.

We can trap them if we close the ducts.

We've got to avoid unnecessary combat.

It was my men who were killed.

Just stick to navigating this destroyer.

You said he knows everything about this ship.

Am I right, Commander?

Back to your posts.

Yes, sir.

Takenaka!

Hey!

Hold it, OK?

Were you planning to take them all by yourself?

That's none of your business.

This is my ship, and it's my business!

There's an assault team aboard the Setoshio.

They'll come in through the hull breach.

When?

Long ago, if I had my transmitter!

All right! Stop whining!

What?

I'm not your bodyguard.

Don't slow me down.

They're going to blow that door. Let's move!

Hold it! Not so fast!

We're right above the flooded compartments.

They know what could happen if they use explosives down here.

Wait a minute...

We can just send a message!

Right?

What you are seeing are the effects of the bombing...

...at the Henoko Ordinance Depot in Okinawa.

This footage is from the Pentagon.

The bombing completely destroyed the facility.

Bombing?

Wasn't it an accidental explosion?

There was an accident, but not the kind reported in the media.

The Americans were forced to bomb their own weapons facility...

...to neutralize the accidental release of a small amount of GUSOH.

That's impossible!

No, he's telling the truth.

Miyatsu wants us to declare it to the world.

What a joke! OK, keep going.

Yeung Fan's group stole ten times as much...

...from a US military transport.

And this is GUSOH.

General Kishima?

The US neutralized the leak at Henoko...

...with an enormous incendiary device designated Thermit Plus.

Thermit generates a 6,000-degree fireball...

...with the capacity to incinerate anything within 1,500 yards.

You're saying that's the only answer to GUSOH?

How would you deliver that to the Isokaze?

By dropping it from a fighter.

I thought fighters were useless.

A missile could reach the ship from Haneda Airport.

What? I don't understand.

Once again - Tokyo Bay.

Isokaze has established a 10-kilometer exclusion zone.

They will attack any ship or aircraft entering the zone.

Haneda is outside the zone. The airport is operating normally.

A Thermit-armed fighter plane could fly toward Haneda...

...at the speed of a commercial aircraft.

It would transmit civilian identification codes.

In that case, the Isokaze's radar...

...would not recognize it as a military aircraft.

Has the US approved our using this weapon of theirs?

They've just granted access to the Air Self Defense Force.

So, we do the dirty work.

Someone's signaling from the Isokaze!

Periscope One!

A light signal?

Yes.

The submarine Setoshio passed it on.

Read it.

"From Senior CPO Sengoku."

"Barricaded with Seaman Kisaragi in Electrical Room Two."

CPO Sengoku?

"Explosion has breached hull." It's repeating.

What do you think?

He's alive.

That's all.

Repeat again, from here.

Hey, don't forget who you're talking to.

I'm your superior officer. Not to mention a lot older.

I'm probably your father's age.

What?

The satellite will be in position soon.

A recon satellite?

I don't get it.

Did he stay behind or did he go back?

What's Setoshio's position?

Six kilometers from Isokaze, just outside Uraga Channel.

Tell them to get ready.

Yes sir.

Freelancing again?

Take it to the council.

They won't go for it.

Keep it confidential.

How'd things go after the cadet died?

That was an accident.

We didn't pressure him.

Kobayashi!

I have to inform the Prime Minister.

I can't let them use Thermit.

A Japanese fighter, bombing a Japanese destroyer.

No one will believe it was just a drill.

Mr. Prime Minister.

They've gone to auxiliary power.

Hold it - that's Morse!

Somebody's signaling!

Sugiura! Don't do it!

We're about to enter Uraga Channel.

If we increase speed we can evade them!

Why?

I got it!

Another message from Isokaze!

A new one?

Read it.

"Aft sonar head damaged by explosion."

"Commence attack, 0800 hours."

We're on.

0800 hours?

It's a trap!

Captain, we're ready.

Initiate approach on Isokaze from dead astern.

Yes, sir! Ahead flank. Three five zero.

Ahead flank. Three five zero.

Make your depth 50. Quickly.

Wait a second...

Come on!

Commander!

What's going on?

The fallout purging system.

It'll spray for 5 minutes.

Where's Setoshio?

What's the deflection?

One three zero!

Rope!

One three zero...

Now back off!

Torpedo in the water!

Isokaze launched a torpedo!

Impossible!

Torpedo fired from Isokaze.

A torpedo?

We have visual contact.

It ran short and detonated.

Mission abort! Withdraw!

Yes sir!

Ensign Kazama.

Don't be a coward. Finish them.

I only answer to the commander!

Don't you people have any pride?

Shut up!

Out of the CIC!

Major.

Commander!

We need side arms!

Hiding back here?

You've been summoned.

I think I know what the cadet was doing the night he died.

He wanted to stop Yeung Fan.

I've got a hunch I'm right.

Time to face the music.

This stuff's awful when it's cold.

Have some of this.

Listen, you! I demand an explanation!

What are you doing behind our backs?

Mr. Prime Minister.

I think it's time for you to step aside.

General, I want the F2 on standby.

Okumura?

Yes sir.

It's Commander Miyatsu!

This is Isokaze.

Over.

This is Kajimoto.

Do you have an answer to our demands?

We agree unconditionally to all your demands.

Very good. You've chosen wisely.

Isokaze out.

I knew your son!

This is Atsumi, Defense Agency Intelligence Service.

I was the last person to see your son Takashi alive.

Are you sure you can trust Pao Yeung Fan?

Did you ever wonder whether he used your son to approach you?

Even made use of his death?

Is that all you have to say?

Tokyo will be annihilated.

Over ten million of your people are going to die.

And here you sit, wasting time, improvising silly theories.

You Japanese are so naive and optimistic.

Then why can't you solve your problems without us?

You understand nothing. You haven't earned the peace you enjoy.

When are you people going to understand that this is war?

Director General.

Request the transfer of Thermit Plus to our forces.

I'll make the call.

General?

War? He's crazy.

Now they're bound to use Thermit Plus.

What the hell's that?

A special weapon developed by the US military.

It'll incinerate Isokaze and GUSOH with it.

I'm not going to sit still for that!

No way...

Just get out of here.

What, so you can act tough?

All we have to do is disable the missiles.

They used the Harpoons on Urakaze.

So GUSOH is in the forward launchers.

But which one?

OK. Number Two first.

I'll go through the engine room.

You take the aft hatch to Deck Three.

First one to get through destroys the whole console.

Sound good?

Yeah.

That's "yes, sir."

Listen.

Don't die. OK?

From Day One I've been telling Kisaragi -

"Live for your country."

Now I'm telling him to die for it.

What else? Otherwise we might not have a country at all.

Are you sure about that?

What's a country, anyway?

The Japanese have such short memories.

We check which way the wind is blowing before deciding anything.

War is always somebody else's problem. Not ours.

For 60 years since WWII, Japan's just been floating...

...between the Pacific and the East China Sea.

Is being at peace the only thing that makes us a nation?

You know what I think, Atsumi?

Peace is a pause between wars. That's all.

Japan's pause has lasted 60 years.

I don't think that's such a bad thing.

Damn. Out of cigarettes.

Let's go.

Maybe you're right.

Maybe he will use it.

If Tokyo's hit, UN forces will retaliate immediately.

Yeung Fan knows that.

That's probably what he wants.

I want you to move this ship, Commander.

They have only one way to stop us now.

Commander!

The Isokaze is moving again. It's headed straight for Odaiba.

That's enough.

We're headed for shore.

Steady as she goes!

I get it. So that's the plan.

They can't use Thermit close to Tokyo.

That launch console has to be destroyed.

You stay here.

This 3-kilometer circle represents the blast radius of Thermit Plus.

We will ensure there is no collateral damage...

...along the shore of Tokyo Bay.

Thermit Plus must be used outside this line.

At her current speed...

...Isokaze will reach the limit line in 45 minutes.

By 11:30!

The earliest the F2 carrying Thermit Plus...

...can be in the air is 11:00.

It will take 40 minutes to reach the target.

Then we're too late!

They're stopping!

It's better...

...if this country disappears with us!

Is that what the thesis said?

Is this why you devoted your life to the Self Defense Force?

Answer me!

Chief...

I'm so tired.

Is GUSOH here?

Or in Launcher One?

That's enough.

Give me your gun.

Sugiura!

Why did you shoot?

Shoot before they do. That's the rule.

He wasn't going to shoot!

You have no idea what real war is.

You have no idea what a human being is!

Isn't it human to think before you fire?

Don't you think for even a moment?

Why didn't you kill me in the engine room?

For the sake of your mission, you should've shot me dead.

But you didn't.

This is the CPO.

It's 1102 hours.

Sugiura has just been killed.

How many others have died?

It's over!

Stop dreaming.

You're wrong!

Open your eyes!

Commander!

What should we do?

We each had our reasons for following you.

You men...

...have my gratitude.

Isokaze is moving again.

Forty minutes to the line.

The F2 can make it.

The Isokaze's delay has saved us.

Message from Misawa Air Base. The F2 is ready.

All right.

Something's happening!

Something... might be happening on board.

Why did they stop?

Who cares?

There's no time to lose!

Where's Yeung Fan?

Major?

Tell me one thing.

You visited me the night of Takashi's funeral.

You told me...

...you sought Takashi out because of his thesis.

You said you were the best of comrades.

You shared the same ideals.

You each wanted your homeland to stand on its own, free and proud.

Tell me... was that the truth?

Hand it over, Yeung Fan.

It's over.

Everything I told you was the truth.

But in the end...

...he was just another Japanese.

Is that all you have to say?

Kisaragi!

Talk to me!

How'd this happen?

I thought...

...before I fired.

You idiot.

THINK before you think!

It wasn't me. It was Yeung Fan.

Get back!

I said get back!

We wanted to do what was right.

Step aside!

Stop!

Please don't go in there!

Out of my way!

Where's the commander?

We have an obligation to atone for our sins.

Finish yourself.

I don't deserve your help.

I'm not forgiving you.

Chief...

I have one favor to ask.

I want to make an announcement to the crew.

Please.

This is the commander.

Effective immediately...

...I am passing command of the Isokaze...

...to the Senior Chief Petty Officer.

All of you will follow CPO Sengoku's orders...

...and make every effort to survive.

Commander out.

CPO Sengoku.

I pass command to you.

Take the ship.

Sir, I accept the command.

Come on!

Quit crying and take care of the commander and Kisaragi!

Snap out of it!

You're a commissioned officer!

You're a leader, aren't you?

My mom...

She liked my drawing.

It was just doodling.

But it was mine.

Take this.

Use it to paint.

Not me.

You're going to use it.

Listen.

Don't die.

That's an order.

Almost there.

We're ready to launch Thermit Plus.

All we need is your authorization, Mr. Prime Minister.

Wait!

Isokaze's still nine minutes from the line.

What are you talking about?

We ONLY have nine minutes!

Why can't you wait?

Someone might be fighting to regain control of the ship.

Wait... what happened to the images from the reconnaissance satellite?

Yokota!

He destroyed the steering!

We can't stop the ship.

She's... she's out of control.

Yeung Fan headed for the mast with GUSOH.

Hang on!

Attention all hands!

This is the chief.

The ship is out of control.

Abandon ship immediately!

This goes for Yeung Fan's men too.

You must survive.

No matter how humiliating...

...you've got to live!

Kazama.

Assemble the rest of the men and abandon ship.

But commander!

You all stuck with me.

Now go.

I said go!

Kisaragi! Hang on!

Don't...

Don't touch me!

It's all your fault.

You're the reason Mom...

Dad...

I never forgave you...

I couldn't...

I'm sorry.

It was all my fault, son.

Ninety seconds to the limit line!

Where are those images?

Still waiting.

It's time.

Proceed with the attack.

The satellite's in position!

Something's moving!

Track in!

What's he doing?

Semaphore signals!

S... A...

Atsumi!

G... U... S... O... H...

What is it?

GUSOH... SAFE...

GUSOH safe!

Abort!

Abort attack!

My God!

Isokaze isn't stopping!

It's headed for the power plant!

Isn't there anyone to stop it?

Forgive me.

What are you men discussing now?

Sailor talk again, I suppose.

You two...

Pay some attention to Mom now and then, OK?

Mail call, Sengoku!

Yeah?

Most likely Kaori. The only person who writes to you.

Shut up!

Hey! Fasten that chinstrap!
