KYUSHU - MOUNT ASO

Hey!

Morning.

Hey, were you out last night again? Yes I'm sorry.

Stupid!

Get back! Back off! What is this? Stop getting so excited!

Stop! Stop!

How many times have I told you to stop this foolishness?

I won't put up with this anymore! Alright, Yoshi?

You too, Goro.

Well everyone, let's go, let's go! Save your strength for the mines!

Good morning. Good morning.

Morning.

Descending!

Morning.

Good morning, Sir.

It's very warm out today.

Haven't you figured out what's wrong with the Earth?

What's happening to the Earth?

With eight million tons being mined out of this entire area,

I'd say the Earth is running out of ore.

Oh, no!

Hello, Main Office.

Filled with water?

Mine number eight?

Right, I'll be there soon.

Two meters of water has flooded the mine.

That's strange.

There wasn't any there the last time it was surveyed.

It must be an underground spring.

I'll go check it out.

Hey, give me a hand here! Yes, Sir!

No, no. You can't go!

Go ahead! Go ahead!

Thank you for coming!

How did it happen?

We were mining a wall, when it started flooding.

How bad is it? It's flooded pretty bad...

We had no way to control it.

Well I'm glad that everyone's safe.

No... Yoshi and Goro are still down there.

I need to down and look at it. I need some volunteers.

Is it okay? It's okay.

Suikishi, Saba... Let's go!

Be careful! Please be careful!

That's Yoshi!

What!? Hurry, hurry!

Yoshi! Yoshi!

Hurry, hurry!

Doctor...

It's hard to say. It's not a simple wound.

I've never seen a head wound like that.

But... What could have done something like that?

You've contacted the police, right?

Yes. They should be here around 1 PM.

Yoshi's my husband!

Please let me see him! Please let me see him!

Wait! Wait! You'll have to wait for the doctors see him.

Let's go.

Haven't they found Goro yet?

Hey! There's no proof he's the criminal, right?

I'm prepared to believe it. That's my opinion of it.

That's for the police to decide. It's best to keep it to yourself.

But, he and Goro were working together. Why haven't they found Goro's body?

Please don't go spreading this around.

Oh, they're taking a look at him now.

Kiyo.

Is it true about my brother?

It's impossible.

But, everyone...

Believe in your brother.

Until they can get a hold of Goro,

they can't be sure if he's the criminal.

I'm sure of it.

I can walk with you to the mines.

Come on, let's go.

Oto! Here!

Qishi! Here!

Goto! Here!

Otsuka! Here!

Toyama! Here!

Mamura! Here!

Hodo! Here!

Nakagawa! Here!

Here! Here!

We've completed a full roll call

and Goro is the only one missing.

You're sure that Goro hasn't come out yet?

This is the only way out of the mine.

You hear that?

You're too jumpy!

Someone must have gone in again.

No.

The only person in there would be... Goro.

Alright. I'm going in.

Yes, Sir.

Give me the rope.

There must be something wrong with him.

What's that noise?

Goro? Goro!

It's him!

Idiot! Control yourself!

It may be nothing...

Goro? Goro!

It's him!

Idiot!

There's nothing to be afraid of!

Keep quiet!

ENGINEERS' OFFICE

Hey, just a moment. Here they come! Hold on please.

CHIEF'S OFFICE

These aren't ordinary murders.

How could a criminal make wounds like this on these men?

The wounds could only have been made by someone of great strength.

In Japan and in the rest of the world, I've never seen a weapon so sharp.

What is the weapon?

I regret that I can't even guess.

Incredible... Murders unlike any in Japan.

Of course, we'll have to do something.

I'll increase the number of police in the village.

Wait!

Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!

Hurry! Get the others!

Otami!

Otami!

Otami, where are you going?

Let me go!

Kiyo! Kiyo!

Let me go. I have to tell her.

Stop it!!

She's right. You cannot blame her for your pain, okay?

Please...

Thank you... Please excuse us.

Shigeru!

Kiyo.

Kiyo, I don't believe Goro is the murderer.

To kill... Goro would have to be pushed too far.

I don't think he killed anyone.

I'm sure of it.

I believe Goro knows who did it.

So, don't count him out yet. Okay?

Kiyo!

Hey! Police! It's an emergency!

Oh! Let's go!

There!

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry, please! Run across the bridge!

What's going on?

Its heading for the mountain.

Come on!

There it is!

Alright! Let's go!

Fire!

It's in sight! We're firing!
