Game Winning Hit (比赛开始)

Move, everyone.

Here it comes.

Who are you throwing the ball to? Where to?

One more time!

Pay attention!

A Su, are you daydreaming?

Go over there.

Do the catching move 40 times.

Attention, everyone!

One, two, three. Two, two, three.

Shout!

Louder!

One, two, three. Two, two, three.

Who can hear you?

Your voice is as tiny as an ant.

What is that?

One, two, three.

Two, two, three.

Three, two, three.

Four, two, three.

Five, two, three.

Coach.

I fumbled.

I should be punished too.

Coach, I can do it with A Su.

-Coach, I can do it with A Su. -Me too.

I know you sympathize with A Su.

You take care of each another like teammates.

I'm very happy to see you're concerned about A Su.

But a good athlete

must be able to concentrate

no matter what happens.

Once the game starts,

your opponents and the umpires

have no sympathy for you.

If you fumble the ball,

they will take advantage.

If you pitch poorly,

the umpire will call balls.

We should do the same when practicing.

So, A Su,

do not get distracted again.

This is necessary for us to be a strong team.

Okay. Stop.

Come see me tomorrow at noon.

You'll work on your defense training as punishment.

Do you hear me?

Yes!

Watch the ball.

I've told you a thousand times!

Watch the ball, not me!

Ten push-ups!

The coach is so strict with A Su.

Poor A Su.

A Su.

Hang in there.

Don't get beaten.

I believe you're the best baseball player.

Look at the ball, not me.

Break time!

A Su, come here.

Do you know what you did wrong?

Yes.

Then fix it.

You are the main pitcher.

I'm strict with you for your own good.

You have not been focusing these days.

Be serious at practice this afternoon.

Don't think about other things.

Understand?

Yes.

A Su, where are you going?

Practice is starting.

I'm not practicing.

A Su.

Wait, A Su.

Nana, I'm not going to practice.

What?

I'm going to look for Mom.

But big sister says that Mom has married another man.

She has her own family. We can't go visit.

Big sister is not here. What are you afraid of?

I don't care if you come. I'll go by myself.

Fine.

I'll go with you.

-Nana, you are not practicing either? -Right.

Then I'll go myself.

Wait!

Shall we write to big sister first?

What if she comes back and can't find us?

Okay.

Bow.

Good afternoon, Coach.

Where are A Su and Nana?

Who knows where they are?

Coach.

I saw them leave with their bags.

I saw them too.

A Su said he doesn't want to practice.

Doesn't want to practice?

Why?

He said he doesn't want to play anymore.

Qi Sheng, did you punish him too hard at noon?

A Su.

Are we lost?

What shall we do?

We'll find the way tomorrow.

What about you?

You want to go back to Isozaki first?

No.

If I go back to Isozaki, I'll be alone at home.

I don't know what to do.

You must be hungry.

Here, take this.

Hey.

This is a bun from Da Syong's house.

Right. I bought it this morning.

A Su.

I miss the coach, Bu Wa and the others.

Do you miss them?

I don't know.

So, have you found A Su and Nana?

I found a letter addressed to Fu Mei.

It was returned because there was no postage.

Can this be from A Su to Fu Mei?

Let's open it.

It's from A Su and Nana.

They say they are going to Chiayi to find their mom,

and ask Fu Mei not to worry.

Let me take a look.

They only mention a remarried mother in Chiayi,

without a full address.

What shall we do now?

Hey, come here! See what I found.

These seem to be letters from Fu Mei's mom.

Really?

But there is no "sent from" address.

Don't worry.

Let go through them.

There must be some clues.

Yes, found it!

This is her new address.

Chiayi City.

Chuiyang Road...

This...

This seems very close to the wood shop

where Qi Yi works.

Hey, what happened?

You know this place?

Yes.

I was around there once.

Great!

Then we can find it easily.

A Su.

Nana.

A Su.

Wei Ting.

What are you doing here?

Where are A Su and Nana?

They went to Chiayi to see their mom.

No wonder they didn't come to the after school program.

But isn't it dangerous for them to travel such a long way?

You came at the right time.

We were thinking of going to Chiayi to look for them.

Time is precious.

Let's set off now.

Yes.

CHIAYI

Wait.

Pull over.

We've arrived in Chiayi.

Yes, here.

Keep straight.

Turn right at the crossroad.

Get in the car.

Oh no!

Xiao Wu.

Look, MPs.

Yes.

They're checking.

Xiao Wu, Bu Wa.

Now I remember, there's a shortcut.

Let's take that route.

Qi Sheng.

Do you really know where we're going?

We've been taking shortcuts and are going nowhere.

Don't worry.

You're in good hands.

Qi Sheng, we are going in the opposite direction.

This small road isn't on the map.

It's faster this way.

You know the roads that aren't on the map?

Aren't you from Taipei? You seem to know this place well.

Well, I came here a lot to play baseball games.

So I remember it.

Qi Sheng.

What's wrong?

The engine seems overheated.

Qi Sheng.

What are you doing down there?
