Lorelei
|
00:00:16 |
Creatures of the deep have no eyes |
00:00:20 |
because sunlight never reaches |
00:00:27 |
In this infinite darkness, |
00:00:34 |
Yet they endure, |
00:00:38 |
nurturing the resilient light of hope". |

Lt. Commander Masami? |
00:04:01 |
You've read Dostoevsky's |
00:04:06 |
Perhaps... |
00:04:08 |
The story of Raskolnikov |
00:04:11 |
who kills an old loan shark |
00:04:14 |
then is consumed by guilt. |
00:04:18 |
August 6th, 15:00 |
00:04:24 |
Remember who it was |
00:04:30 |
No. |
00:04:32 |
Really... |
00:04:34 |
That's a shame. |
00:04:41 |
Pardon me. |
00:04:44 |
I'm Asakura of Naval Command. |
00:04:46 |
You need no introduction, Sir. |
00:04:52 |
By the way... |
00:04:54 |
You heard about today's |
00:04:58 |
Yes. |
00:05:00 |
A ruthless and indiscriminate weapon |
00:05:09 |
You've been shore-based how long? |
00:05:12 |
Nearly 3 years. |
00:05:16 |
"Captain Coward", right? |
00:05:20 |
Why did you oppose |
00:05:24 |
I refuse to call 'suicide' a strategy. |
00:05:29 |
We invest so much in our young men |
00:05:36 |
it's wasteful to throw away |
00:05:40 |
Let's speak frankly. |
00:05:42 |
I don't need a "yes-man". |
00:05:47 |
You abhor the pointless |
00:05:56 |
But what if ordered |
00:06:05 |
I have a vital mission. |
00:06:10 |
8 day ago... |
00:06:12 |
The US cruiser Indianapolis |
00:06:17 |
and sunk by our subs. |
00:06:21 |
Sadly she'd already delivered |
00:06:30 |
an atomic bomb. |
00:06:34 |
Probably the one used on Hiroshima. |
00:06:38 |
For the Yanks, the bomb |
00:06:42 |
But if they have more, we're finished. |
00:06:48 |
One of our experts, Mr. Takasu... |
00:06:52 |
He brought something back |
00:06:55 |
Follow me. |
00:07:36 |
This... |
00:07:39 |
is the I-507. An experimental ship |
00:07:47 |
L-507... |
00:07:49 |
A masterpiece of Nazi science, |
00:07:58 |
Lt. Commander Masami. |
00:08:01 |
I hereby assign you |
00:08:06 |
Stop the next atom bomb. |
00:08:10 |
You sail at 0500. |
00:08:18 |
Save Japan from annihilation. |
00:08:26 |
06:30 August 7th - Uraga Straits |
00:08:38 |
I'm honored to serve with you again. |
00:08:51 |
Enemy ahead. Dive in 60 seconds. |
00:08:56 |
Prepare to dive. |
00:08:57 |
All hands forward. |
00:09:02 |
He runs like a coward, after all. |
00:09:05 |
Engines full stop. |
00:09:06 |
I can't read German. |
00:09:07 |
Can anyone stop this damn thing? |
00:09:20 |
What are you waiting for? |
00:09:23 |
Move your asses! |
00:09:25 |
Engine room, I said stop! |
00:09:30 |
Only one thing for it... |
00:09:44 |
That did the trick! |
00:09:52 |
Depth reading. |
00:09:54 |
We're at dive depth. |
00:09:55 |
Open all vents. |
00:09:56 |
Open all vents. |
00:10:16 |
Depth, 21... |
00:10:17 |
Depth, 21... |
00:10:19 |
Pitch 5 degrees. |
00:10:22 |
Depth, 21... |
00:10:38 |
Attention all hands. |
00:10:41 |
You heard about yesterday's |
00:10:46 |
Our mission gives us the chance |
00:10:49 |
to prevent further atomic attacks. |
00:10:55 |
As you know, it's my first sortie |
00:10:59 |
It's a new ship... we're undermanned. |
00:11:04 |
And you misfits are lucky bastards |
00:11:10 |
I know they're not ideal conditions. |
00:11:14 |
But the survival of our homeland |
00:11:19 |
rests on your shoulders. |
00:11:23 |
I don't care what's hiding in your past. |
00:11:29 |
Understood? |
00:11:31 |
Your presence aboard means |
00:11:36 |
you're our nation's last hope. |
00:11:41 |
Don't forget it. Do your utmost. |
00:11:47 |
If your heart's not in it, |
00:11:52 |
I'll send you home |
00:11:56 |
Keep working. |
00:12:01 |
Some call me a "coward" |
00:12:07 |
You're in good hands. |
00:12:11 |
We will complete our mission. |
00:12:15 |
We will make it home. |
00:12:23 |
About that drill... |
00:12:25 |
A drill, huh... |
00:12:26 |
I timed it at 62 seconds. |
00:12:31 |
And you? |
00:12:32 |
The same. |
00:12:33 |
I want it down to 45. |
00:12:38 |
Do not drop your guard. |
00:12:42 |
Survival is about not giving up. |
00:12:52 |
I hate this guy. What's his problem |
00:12:57 |
No respect for us |
00:13:00 |
Too many fine words... |
00:13:04 |
Behind there, our torpedoes await. |
00:13:06 |
We'll be ordered to attack soon. |
00:13:09 |
That's the secret mini-sub. |
00:13:13 |
No, torpedoes, surely... |
00:13:16 |
Who's wasting precious air? |
00:13:23 |
You again. Names? |
00:13:25 |
Special Assault Squad, pfc Origasa. |
00:13:29 |
Same... pfc Kiyonaga. |
00:13:31 |
Kamikaze torpedo crew, huh? |
00:13:33 |
I'll nail courage into you. |
00:13:36 |
Perhaps it's unwise |
00:13:40 |
Hold your tongue. |
00:13:44 |
What's going on? |
00:13:51 |
Sir, please tell us our mission. |
00:13:55 |
Don't speak out of turn. |
00:13:59 |
Return to your posts. |
00:14:03 |
You two, report to me later. |
00:14:13 |
Sorry for that. It's a motley crew... |
00:14:16 |
Did you know? |
00:14:18 |
No. |
00:14:21 |
No-one told me of |
00:14:23 |
My apologies. |
00:14:28 |
Meaning... |
00:14:31 |
it's a suicide weapon? |
00:14:33 |
No. |
00:14:35 |
It's a tracking device. |
00:14:40 |
If sonar is a ship's ears, |
00:14:47 |
The Germans named it |
00:14:52 |
"Lorelei" |

August 7th, 09:25 |
00:15:11 |
the I-507 set sail in secret. |
00:15:15 |
Whose orders? |
00:15:16 |
Captain Asakura's, I believe. |
00:15:18 |
Where is he now? |
00:15:21 |
We don't know. We're searching. |
00:15:23 |
The best cadet the Naval Academy |
00:15:27 |
He's been a wild card |
00:15:29 |
since he fought in the South Pacific. |
00:15:33 |
We must track him down. |
00:15:41 |
Figure out who's helping him. |
00:15:46 |
Director of Intelligence, |
00:15:48 |
it's your direct responsibility. |
00:15:54 |
We arrive here by end of day on 11th. |
00:15:59 |
We'll test Lorelei, the new sonar. |
00:16:03 |
We're to sink the ship |
00:16:07 |
and shut enemy sea lanes. |
00:16:11 |
Our nation's survival depends on us. |
00:16:14 |
Gentlemen, I'm counting on you. |
00:16:16 |
I wonder how good this Lorelei is? |
00:16:23 |
No need to worry. |
00:16:27 |
The Lorelei system is infallible. |
00:16:30 |
But don't forget our orders. |
00:16:33 |
"Avoid the enemy at all costs" |
00:16:40 |
Capt. Asakura was most specific. |
00:16:47 |
August 7th, 22:55 |
00:16:58 |
Bearing 185, 52 degrees. |
00:17:36 |
Your picture... |
00:17:43 |
If only they'd been evacuated... |
00:18:00 |
Life rarely goes as planned. |
00:18:04 |
I'm supposed to be a star pitcher. |
00:18:14 |
Hey... |
00:18:16 |
Hear something? |
00:18:46 |
Here it is. |
00:18:48 |
Want to see inside? |
00:18:53 |
Then we'll know what our mission is... |
00:19:15 |
Go ahead. I'll keep watch. |
00:19:18 |
Aren't you going? |
00:19:19 |
I'm doing this for you. |
00:19:22 |
I don't recall asking... |
00:19:23 |
Go on. |
00:19:24 |
Okay, okay... |
00:20:21 |
Who are you? |
00:20:25 |
Don't! |
00:20:28 |
Drop it! |
00:20:44 |
Enemy sighted. |
00:20:47 |
All hands, battle stations. |
00:21:10 |
Depth to 21 |
00:21:13 |
Distance 6 to 8,000. |
00:21:21 |
Down scope. |
00:21:23 |
They know our position. |
00:21:24 |
Do we wait it out on the bottom? |
00:21:26 |
There's no time. |
00:21:28 |
Okay, let's give Lorelei a try. |
00:21:31 |
But... |
00:21:32 |
We must test the ship's potential. |
00:21:35 |
Unless you have an objection? |
00:22:13 |
Release the mini-sub. |
00:22:31 |
Pfc Origasa to the mini-sub. |
00:22:38 |
Private, do you hear me? |
00:22:40 |
I'm already on board. |
00:22:44 |
It handles much the same |
00:22:48 |
But the controls are |
00:22:51 |
Yes, Sir, but... |
00:22:53 |
Maintain 80m separation |
00:22:58 |
The mini-sub's fragile... |
00:23:00 |
Take care when you detach. |
00:23:08 |
Are you ready to launch? |
00:23:12 |
Yes. |
00:23:13 |
Start launch procedure. |
00:23:22 |
Get to your post! |
00:23:25 |
Standby power on. |
00:23:28 |
Starting up. |
00:23:31 |
Check access hatch. |
00:23:34 |
Commence launch. |
00:23:36 |
Rudder controls released. |
00:23:39 |
Restraints away. |
00:24:00 |
Distance 75... 80m. |
00:24:03 |
Stopping power. |
00:24:05 |
Maintain distance. |
00:24:08 |
Maximum amplification. |
00:24:11 |
Engage Lorelei. |
00:24:19 |
All hands, stand by. |
00:24:34 |
Lorelei pinpoints every ship in the sea. |
00:24:39 |
Lets us pick them off, one by one. |
00:24:46 |
This is the surrounding sea-scape. |
00:24:55 |
How far can it see? |
00:24:57 |
In normal conditions, 120 miles. |
00:25:09 |
Bearing 210, 5,500 meters... |
00:25:13 |
Three destroyers. |
00:25:15 |
Heading the same way? |
00:25:16 |
Unbelievable... direction AND range... |
00:25:19 |
Sonar, check bearing 210... |
00:25:22 |
Searching... |
00:25:24 |
Three of them. |
00:25:27 |
Probably destroyers. |
00:25:42 |
Exactly right. |
00:25:52 |
Same bearing... closing in. |
00:25:53 |
Let's strike first. Battle stations. |
00:25:56 |
We're under orders not to fight. |
00:26:00 |
We're too close to run. |
00:26:01 |
- We have few torpedoes... |
00:26:05 |
Maintain depth. Seal watertight doors. |
00:26:12 |
Gunnery Chief to Fire Command. |
00:26:18 |
All set here. |
00:26:21 |
They're bearing line astern. |
00:26:23 |
If we hit the lead ship |
00:26:28 |
The others collide with her. |
00:26:30 |
Taking out all three? |
00:26:33 |
If your data is accurate. |
00:26:36 |
Bridge to Fire Command... |
00:26:40 |
Are you ready? |
00:26:42 |
Ready to fire, sir! |
00:26:45 |
We have exact coordinates. |
00:26:50 |
Hit it first time. |
00:27:07 |
Torpedoes in the water. |
00:27:08 |
Six of them! |
00:27:10 |
Hard starboard. Head straight for them. |
00:27:13 |
Hard starboard, full ahead! |
00:27:23 |
First wave at 180m... |
00:27:26 |
Main ballast, partial bleed... |
00:27:33 |
Slight left rudder. |
00:27:35 |
Slight left rudder! |
00:27:42 |
Down elevator. |
00:27:49 |
Blow main tanks! All up. |
00:27:51 |
Blow main tanks! All up. |
00:28:00 |
20 meters, 18... |
00:28:03 |
15... 12... 10 meters. |
00:28:07 |
We're at the surface. |
00:28:19 |
Gunnery Chief, adjust aim... |
00:28:21 |
2 degrees left, 1 degree down... |
00:28:26 |
2 left... 1 down... |
00:28:32 |
Open fire. |
00:28:33 |
Fire! |
00:28:42 |
We're diving. Seal the muzzles. |
00:29:04 |
Target hit. Sounds of collision. |
00:29:10 |
Only one collision? |
00:29:13 |
Just one. |
00:29:18 |
The lead ship dodged the shell. |
00:29:23 |
Pretty impressive. |
00:30:15 |
What happened? |
00:30:16 |
Enemy approaching! |
00:30:19 |
Fix it. |
00:30:20 |
Diving planes full descent. |
00:30:23 |
As deep as she'll go. |
00:30:54 |
We're past safe limits... |
00:30:57 |
130 meters... 140... |
00:31:05 |
Depth charges in the water! |
00:31:17 |
How's the Lorelei? |
00:31:31 |
We can't go deeper. |
00:31:34 |
Gentle feed tanks 1 to 4. |
00:31:42 |
Engage auto-level. |
00:31:50 |
Silent cruise mode. |
00:32:07 |
The bastards are still on us. |
00:32:10 |
10 degrees off starboard |
00:32:14 |
Straight to us. |
00:32:18 |
Signal strength 3... |
00:32:19 |
4... 5... |
00:32:22 |
Directly above. |
00:32:24 |
Depth charges! |
00:32:24 |
Brace yourselves, |
00:33:04 |
Ahead, slow. |
00:33:06 |
Bearing 030. |
00:33:08 |
Enemy receding to port. |
00:33:12 |
Stay calm, move out slowly. |
00:33:23 |
Propeller noise continuing to fade. |
00:33:30 |
Everyone okay? |
00:34:08 |
What chance of repairing |
00:34:14 |
Tell us how it all works. |
00:34:19 |
What are you hiding? |
00:34:22 |
The core of the Lorelei system... |
00:34:27 |
is a human being. |
00:34:31 |
A human? |
00:34:44 |
Take a look. |
00:34:47 |
She's had countless injections... |
00:35:09 |
Is she Japanese? |
00:35:12 |
She came from Germany |
00:35:15 |
That rumor of Nazi human modification |
00:35:21 |
It sounds incredible but... |
00:35:24 |
they harnessed some latent ability. |
00:35:28 |
Like bats and dolphins able |
00:35:35 |
to navigate with internal sonar... |
00:35:41 |
She senses emotional disruption? |
00:35:45 |
Maybe we have a hidden ability |
00:35:50 |
which emerges under certain conditions. |
00:35:56 |
It's speculation but... |
00:35:58 |
maybe she senses other psyches |
00:36:05 |
then the Lorelei system amplifies it. |
00:36:14 |
Every time we hit the enemy |
00:36:17 |
and the system shuts down. |
00:36:21 |
A fragile core to a powerful weapon. |
00:36:29 |
Keep it secret. |
00:36:32 |
She's not to be seen. |
00:36:39 |
Permission to speak, Sir. |
00:36:43 |
What? |
00:36:44 |
Allow me to ram the enemy. |
00:36:48 |
Mind your manners. |
00:36:49 |
For my family's sake |
00:36:54 |
No suicide missions from my ship. |
00:37:01 |
She almost died right in front of me! |
00:37:05 |
It's a human weapon, |
00:37:07 |
Private. |
00:37:09 |
Time to punish your insubordination. |
00:37:13 |
Shall I make him watch the girl? |
00:37:16 |
Good idea. |
00:37:17 |
I'm here to fight. |
00:37:19 |
How could I face my late brother? |
00:37:25 |
Do your job as best you can. |
00:37:28 |
That's how we respect the fallen. |
00:37:35 |
Captain! |
00:37:39 |
Do you know why he has no stopwatch? |
00:37:44 |
He relies on that wristwatch? |
00:37:48 |
It's a memento from his late wife. |
00:37:56 |
That's the kind of man he is. |
00:38:14 |
Who lives here? |
00:38:16 |
A man trying to avoid war |
00:38:16 |
August 8th 10:00 |
00:38:20 |
Nishimiya, Ambassador to the US? |
00:38:23 |
He's still talking peace to them. |
00:38:27 |
Why are we here? |
00:38:29 |
He's always been close to Asakura. |
00:38:41 |
Sorry, but husband |
00:38:46 |
Manila? To make peace...? |
00:38:56 |
You helped Capt. Asakura |
00:39:02 |
Cultivating the young |
00:39:07 |
Asakura loved his country. |
00:39:11 |
Full of hope... an upright and pure man. |
00:39:18 |
I introduced him to many |
00:39:26 |
I thought him fit to lead |
00:39:31 |
Pardon the interruption. |
00:39:34 |
This arrived for you. |
00:39:39 |
It's from Mr. Asakura... |
00:39:42 |
Asakura? |
00:39:55 |
For my nation's sake |
00:40:00 |
I resolve to commit hara-kiri. |
00:40:12 |
Everything's ready. |
00:40:55 |
You still didn't eat? |
00:41:06 |
I know you've been through a lot. |
00:41:10 |
You're trapped in here. |
00:41:15 |
You think you'd be better off dead. |
00:41:21 |
But at least, eat. |
00:41:25 |
It's my job to make sure you do. |
00:41:34 |
I'll bring something else later. |
00:42:21 |
What now? |
00:42:28 |
I hear you worked |
00:44:05 |
What's the matter? |
00:44:09 |
Are you okay? |
00:44:15 |
You've got a human side after all. |
00:44:19 |
Captain... |
00:44:28 |
Tasty. |
00:44:30 |
Thank you, sir. |
00:44:35 |
Chief made it. It's "ice cream"... |
00:44:42 |
You've got to eat to get well. |
00:44:46 |
I'll leave it here. |
00:44:57 |
Your family? |
00:45:02 |
You speak Japanese? |
00:45:15 |
They're dead? |
00:45:20 |
Yeah, it's just me, now. |
00:45:28 |
You think of them? |
00:45:33 |
I'll never forget. |
00:45:45 |
Captain. |
00:45:49 |
Last night, a guard thought |
00:45:54 |
Morse code? |
00:45:57 |
A misfit crew, a strange, new weapon... |
00:46:01 |
Even as a last resort, this mission |
00:46:11 |
Lt. Commander Masami. |
00:46:13 |
You've read Dostoevsky's |
00:46:18 |
The story of Raskolnikov, |
00:46:21 |
the young man who kills a loan shark. |
00:46:24 |
Remember who it was |
00:46:31 |
Unusual for you to be here. |
00:46:33 |
How is she? |
00:46:34 |
If only she'd eat something. |
00:46:42 |
Ever read this? |
00:46:46 |
Yes, back when I was a student. |
00:46:51 |
Raskolnikov, the hero, |
00:46:53 |
claims he didn't kill the old woman |
00:47:00 |
Why did he say that? |
00:47:06 |
"Deicide"... killing God? |
00:47:10 |
Deicide? |
00:47:12 |
He broke the Sixth Commandment |
00:47:17 |
and thus killed God within himself. |
00:47:20 |
God in himself... |
00:47:22 |
Killing himself at the same time. |
00:47:32 |
Suicide, huh? |
00:47:36 |
Killing God and himself... |
00:47:41 |
August 9th, 02:48- Tinian Base |
00:47:45 |
USAF B-29 Superfortress "Boxcar" |
00:47:53 |
Kazan Archipelago |
00:48:13 |
What are you doing? |
00:48:18 |
You had me scared. |
00:48:24 |
No wonder, being trapped in here. |
00:48:31 |
Give me a second... |
00:50:22 |
This is your Captain. |
00:50:24 |
In two days we reach our objective. |
00:50:29 |
First we surface to overhaul the guns. |
00:50:34 |
Those with spare time, |
00:50:47 |
May I... |
00:50:50 |
ask your name? |
00:50:55 |
Paula. |
00:51:01 |
Paula... |
00:51:05 |
Atsuko Ebner. |
00:51:07 |
Atsuko? |
00:51:14 |
Grandma was Japanese. |
00:51:17 |
Is that right? |
00:51:22 |
I'm Yukito Origasa. |
00:51:31 |
Yukito... |
00:51:39 |
If we make it back to Japan, |
00:51:43 |
come see my hometown. |
00:52:12 |
It's a port town with huge shipyards. |
00:52:18 |
Western buildings, churches... |
00:52:21 |
There's a streetcar. |
00:52:27 |
Long stone stairways... |
00:52:30 |
lead to my secret spot. |
00:52:57 |
The crew have settled in. |
00:53:03 |
Damn Origasa... |
00:53:11 |
Amid a world made mad by war |
00:53:14 |
her gentle voice, so pure and serene |
00:53:19 |
like a shaft of sunlight |
00:53:23 |
brought them a moment of solace. |
00:53:28 |
You want a drink, too? |
00:53:31 |
How the hell can it drink? |
00:53:55 |
It's a Leica. |
00:53:58 |
You like photography? |
00:53:59 |
Yes. |
00:54:01 |
I wanted to be a photographer. |
00:54:06 |
Really? |
00:54:09 |
Pick it up if you like. |
00:54:14 |
Lieutenant... |
00:54:16 |
You have a daughter, right? |
00:54:18 |
5 years old, now. |
00:54:21 |
Unlike me, she's a beauty. |
00:54:27 |
This is her cat's cradle. |
00:54:33 |
She begged me to take it. |
00:54:38 |
I just saw a jumble of string. |
00:54:42 |
But she taught me... |
00:54:50 |
to make a bridge. |
00:54:55 |
I hope we can leave them a better world. |
00:55:05 |
I forgot... emotional talk is taboo. |
00:55:11 |
I'll make Origasa scrub toilets |
00:55:52 |
Hey? |
00:55:53 |
What's wrong? |
00:56:24 |
August 9th, 11:02 |
00:56:48 |
How's she doing? |
00:56:50 |
Just like before. |
00:56:53 |
Recovery's taking longer this time. |
00:56:56 |
Back to your posts. |
00:57:00 |
Something about war... |
00:57:02 |
or death seems to overwhelm her... |
00:57:06 |
paralyzing her nervous system... |
00:57:11 |
She sensed some massive |
00:57:18 |
It's just speculation... |
00:57:20 |
I'll go get her some water. |
00:57:34 |
What is it? |
00:57:42 |
Aren't you on toilet duty? |
00:57:45 |
I am indeed, sir. |
00:57:48 |
But I was worried... |
00:57:56 |
Come in. |
00:58:08 |
Captain. |
00:58:11 |
You're still going to use her? |
00:58:18 |
You carry your wife's memento... |
00:58:24 |
...yet you're still going to... |
00:58:27 |
A memento of regret, not love. |
00:58:35 |
I was a soldier first, husband second. |
00:58:39 |
My duty was foremost to my country. |
00:58:42 |
How could I ever make a wife happy... |
00:58:50 |
It's a reminder of my mistake. |
00:58:58 |
August 10th, 13:00 |
00:59:00 |
The Mariana Islands |
00:59:25 |
What's wrong? |
00:59:51 |
All hands, battle stations. |
00:59:52 |
Sound the alert! |
00:59:54 |
Alert ready. |
00:59:56 |
What are you doing? |
01:00:04 |
You bastards. |
01:00:23 |
Sit. |
01:00:31 |
Come with me. |
01:00:39 |
What's going on? |
01:00:41 |
The I-507 will rendezvous |
01:00:45 |
and surrender to their command. |
01:00:47 |
What the hell? |
01:00:51 |
Captain Asakura's last orders. |
01:00:56 |
August 10th - |
01:00:57 |
August 10th |
01:00:59 |
Although the Emperor made up his mind, |
01:01:01 |
those Army dolts refuse to listen. |
01:01:03 |
No-one dare confront them... |
01:01:07 |
I hear Nishimiya works towards peace. |
01:01:10 |
If we don't agree to terms |
01:01:13 |
the Soviets will invade |
01:01:16 |
I can't believe that... |
01:01:25 |
Those army blockheads! |
01:01:32 |
What's going on? |
01:01:34 |
Please be seated. |
01:01:38 |
I came to talk. |
01:01:41 |
But first let's dine. |
01:01:50 |
Our last supper, perhaps. |
01:01:55 |
As officially agreed, |
01:01:59 |
Agreement? |
01:02:00 |
Yesterday, a second atom bomb |
01:02:07 |
A third will fall on Tokyo, tomorrow. |
01:02:10 |
What the hell are you saying? |
01:02:12 |
We hand over the Lorelei system. |
01:02:15 |
In return, they drop the bomb. |
01:02:20 |
Target: Tokyo. |
01:02:24 |
That's what we have agreed. |
01:02:30 |
Soon, many nations |
01:02:37 |
Who'll have the upper hand then? |
01:02:44 |
The one with Lorelei. |
01:02:47 |
This sub can slip past |
01:02:52 |
and put an atom bomb |
01:02:57 |
Why bomb Tokyo? |
00:00:07 |
I can count on your help, right? |
00:00:11 |
There are 70 of my men on this ship. |
00:00:16 |
You won't get far. |
00:00:20 |
All stations, report. |
00:00:23 |
Gunnery Chief, here. |
00:00:26 |
It's no use, sir. |
00:00:30 |
Gunnery Chief. |
00:00:31 |
We're under |
00:00:35 |
You're a lieutenant? |
00:00:38 |
You're not in it, too! |
00:00:44 |
Please don't make it difficult. |
00:00:48 |
We share an inseparable bond. |
00:00:55 |
What bond? |
00:00:59 |
We fought in the southern islands. |
00:01:07 |
A meaningless campaign... |
00:01:10 |
Stinking jungle... |
00:01:13 |
Malaria... |
00:01:17 |
Nothing's worse than knowing |
00:01:26 |
We waited in vain for supplies. |
00:01:34 |
Starving to death, |
00:01:38 |
with only one option left... |
00:01:55 |
Captain Asakura was our savior. |
00:01:59 |
He went against orders |
00:02:08 |
He implored us... |
00:02:13 |
"Do not die. Live at all costs". |
00:02:26 |
Now I ask you, as our leaders, |
00:02:31 |
That's why we're trying to end this war... |
00:02:35 |
My estimable Chancellor... |
00:02:39 |
You mean "unconditional surrender"? |
00:02:44 |
Then after Japan's collapse |
00:02:50 |
what do you intend to do? |
00:02:54 |
Live on as if nothing happened? |
00:03:08 |
You're one of us. |
00:03:17 |
Join with us. |
00:03:54 |
Sadly, you refuse to see it. |
00:03:59 |
Send the coded reply |
00:04:08 |
We're surfacing. |
00:04:21 |
Bring Lorelei to the bridge. |
00:04:26 |
Move. |
00:04:34 |
Thanks for the ice-cream. |
00:04:50 |
Surfacing? |
00:05:07 |
You've no need to worry, |
00:05:12 |
The Allies have guaranteed |
00:05:22 |
Surfacing presently. |
00:05:27 |
All stations, report. |
00:05:30 |
Lorelei is secure. |
00:05:32 |
The B-29, loaded with its atom bomb |
00:05:36 |
will shortly depart Tinian base. |
00:05:39 |
It'll end everything |
00:05:46 |
Not much longer. |
00:06:03 |
I'm disappointed. |
00:06:07 |
Not one of you will open your belly. |
00:06:15 |
This is Asakura in Naval Command. |
00:06:17 |
Owada Relay Station - |
00:06:17 |
Owada Relay Station |
00:06:19 |
Signal corps. Put me through. |
00:06:20 |
This is signal corps. |
00:06:23 |
Connecting to the I-507. |
00:06:26 |
Do it! |
00:06:28 |
Quick! |
00:06:32 |
Asakura at Naval Command. |
00:06:36 |
The US destroyer is approaching. |
00:06:42 |
It'll arrive shortly. |
00:06:43 |
Captain Asakura! |
00:06:44 |
Lt. Commander, sorry about all this. |
00:06:48 |
A little dramatic, perhaps |
00:06:50 |
but all part of a wider plan. |
00:06:53 |
Do try to understand, Lt. Commander. |
00:06:56 |
Our country has lost its way. |
00:06:59 |
Now's the time to correct the error. |
00:07:02 |
But what's gained by torching Tokyo? |
00:07:06 |
Tokyo is the corrupt core. |
00:07:09 |
We burn out the root |
00:07:14 |
It makes perfect sense. |
00:07:16 |
And what about the innocent lives lost? |
00:07:21 |
Not worth the worry. |
00:07:24 |
All worthy people |
00:07:29 |
Only the cowardly dregs remain. |
00:07:35 |
What good can come |
00:07:41 |
Cowards, huh? |
00:07:44 |
I suppose that would include us? |
00:07:48 |
But Captain... |
00:07:49 |
It takes courage to recover |
00:07:56 |
Maybe our country was mistaken. |
00:08:02 |
But we must all survive... |
00:08:07 |
to do our best to build a new Japan. |
00:08:15 |
All hands, listen! |
00:08:17 |
We've come this far |
00:08:25 |
Your families and friends... |
00:08:28 |
can you sit by and watch them killed? |
00:08:31 |
Don't give up like this! |
00:08:39 |
A message from the USS Fleischer: |
00:08:43 |
"We accept your surrender. " |
00:08:47 |
"Welcome to the United States" |
00:08:50 |
Okay, let's go. |
00:08:55 |
Come. |
00:09:18 |
Paula, don't... |
00:09:21 |
Don't worry. |
00:09:25 |
They wouldn't shoot me. |
00:09:30 |
Is that right? |
00:09:41 |
Hatred can't undo the past. |
00:09:47 |
Don't fool yourself. Think. |
00:09:58 |
Shut up! |
00:10:02 |
What's going on? |
00:10:07 |
You idiot, what are you doing? |
00:10:09 |
Let go! |
00:10:12 |
Close the valves. |
00:10:14 |
Stop! |
00:10:16 |
I won't let you take her! |
00:10:24 |
Paula! |
00:10:37 |
Don't! |
00:11:04 |
Let's call it quits... |
00:11:09 |
She's just a child. |
00:11:13 |
Shame on us all... |
00:11:17 |
Gunnery Chief, here. |
00:11:20 |
Put down your weapons. |
00:11:44 |
L-507, what's going on? |
00:11:49 |
This is your Captain. |
00:11:51 |
Listen, everyone. |
00:11:53 |
We're back in control. |
00:11:58 |
We'll surface, head north |
00:12:03 |
We're going back to Japan. |
00:12:35 |
Captain Asakura, it's Masami. |
00:12:39 |
The deal is off. Things are not |
00:12:47 |
We have Lorelei. |
00:12:51 |
I won't allow them to bomb Tokyo. |
00:12:58 |
Try to imagine Japan |
00:13:04 |
Adults with no responsibility |
00:13:08 |
Children with no national pride |
00:13:12 |
Japan, just a nation enslaved by the US. |
00:13:17 |
Where's the worth in such a country? |
00:13:21 |
I believe in her. |
00:13:25 |
Even if burned to the ground... |
00:13:30 |
Our people will rediscover hope. |
00:13:37 |
Trading this girl... |
00:13:39 |
Sacrificing tens of thousands of lives... |
00:13:44 |
What kind of revival is that? |
00:13:47 |
I could never allow it! |
00:13:50 |
Noble words... but empty. |
00:13:54 |
A waste of my time. |
00:13:56 |
I never expected the plan |
00:14:01 |
What do you mean? |
00:14:03 |
I have it all figured out. |
00:14:06 |
As long as we don't surrender, |
00:14:14 |
A third bomb? |
00:14:16 |
I'm indebted to you |
00:14:21 |
Mr. Tsuchiya... |
00:14:25 |
We'll meet again. |
00:14:36 |
Masami, noble words |
00:14:43 |
You'll have to deploy |
00:14:49 |
It's inevitable. |
00:14:52 |
I'm sorry I won't get to see it. |
00:14:57 |
You don't mean... |
00:15:00 |
Captain! |
00:15:03 |
Beat this, you cowards. |
00:15:12 |
This marks the start of a new Japan. |
00:15:18 |
Captain Asakura! |
00:15:21 |
What's going on there? |
00:15:33 |
Both engines stop. |
00:15:43 |
Head for the airfield! |
00:15:46 |
Someone's trying to stop |
00:16:03 |
Ambassador Nishimiya? |
00:16:32 |
We were too late. |
00:16:34 |
For what? |
00:16:39 |
Tokyo will be wiped out |
00:16:56 |
When will the bomb depart? |
00:17:02 |
Can you take his word? |
00:17:05 |
When will the B-29 take off? |
00:17:11 |
It's no use. |
00:17:17 |
Don't dream you can defeat... |
00:17:25 |
...the US Pacific fleet. |
00:17:33 |
Tell me! |
00:17:52 |
06:30... |
00:17:55 |
Tinian Base, North Field... |
00:17:59 |
How dare you, you witch... |
00:18:12 |
6:30am... |
00:18:14 |
Only 15 more hours... |
00:18:17 |
It's too far-fetched to believe |
00:18:20 |
The mission might not even go ahead. |
00:18:34 |
The Mariana Islands - Tinian |
00:18:38 |
USAF 509th Composite Group |
00:18:40 |
Tinian Base - North Field |
00:18:44 |
With Japan's rejection |
00:18:45 |
of unconditional surrender, |
00:18:47 |
a third attack is planned. |
00:18:50 |
Among the designated targets, |
00:18:53 |
top priority is... |
00:18:56 |
Tokyo. |
00:19:03 |
May I come in? |
00:19:10 |
17:30... |
00:19:14 |
13 more hours... |
00:19:19 |
Asakura defied high command |
00:19:24 |
We've lost contact with base. |
00:19:27 |
Returning home |
00:19:31 |
That may be right. |
00:19:35 |
However... |
00:19:41 |
We bought this on the Ginza... |
00:19:44 |
Tokyo's full of memories of her. |
00:19:48 |
She's no longer with me |
00:19:51 |
but what we shared |
00:20:00 |
I'll defend it with my very life. |
00:20:16 |
I feel the same. |
00:20:21 |
It's a personal matter. |
00:20:25 |
We've shared destiny since |
00:20:31 |
Let's go out with a bang. |
00:20:43 |
This is your Captain. |
00:20:48 |
We're going to break through |
00:20:53 |
and attack Tinian. |
00:20:55 |
We'll shell the airfield |
00:20:59 |
and stop the atom bomb in its tracks. |
00:21:04 |
However... |
00:21:05 |
Stay still. |
00:21:06 |
We're not operating under orders |
00:21:11 |
It's a voluntary mission. |
00:21:16 |
This war is nearly over. |
00:21:22 |
I don't know if Asakura's prediction |
00:21:28 |
All I know, |
00:21:30 |
is that we can't stand by while |
00:21:37 |
I won't force this mission on you. |
00:21:42 |
Come forward if you wish |
00:21:46 |
Rebuilding our nation |
00:21:56 |
Survival brings its own duties. |
00:22:00 |
Each man must think. |
00:22:04 |
Decide for himself. |
00:22:07 |
That's all. |
00:22:31 |
Engine room, here. I'll go. |
00:22:36 |
I'm the only one who's seen Tinian. |
00:22:41 |
I remember the layout, |
00:22:45 |
Good man... |
00:22:47 |
Medical room, too. |
00:22:50 |
Stern launch crew will go. |
00:22:52 |
Torpedo loaders, count us in. |
00:22:54 |
Maintenance, too. |
00:22:56 |
Generator room, we'll go. |
00:22:59 |
Me, too. |
00:23:03 |
What the hell... as you wish. |
00:23:08 |
Heck. Me too, I guess. |
00:23:21 |
What have you been fighting for? |
00:23:32 |
I never gave it any thought. |
00:23:35 |
Never? Isn't there something? |
00:23:42 |
You? |
00:23:46 |
For my country. |
00:23:57 |
Me... |
00:24:03 |
I just like singing... |
00:24:06 |
As long as I'm alive, I can sing. |
00:24:20 |
That's it. |
00:24:29 |
What is it? |
00:24:33 |
Please take me, too. |
00:24:38 |
One thing... |
00:24:42 |
About Paula... |
00:24:45 |
She's different. We should let her off. |
00:24:50 |
Plot this course. |
00:24:53 |
Captain? |
00:24:56 |
We need Lorelei |
00:25:01 |
But it breaks down... |
00:25:03 |
Don't give up on her. |
00:25:12 |
Paula... |
00:25:14 |
You're taking me to Japan? |
00:25:17 |
That's if we survive... |
00:25:19 |
Don't give up on me. |
00:25:49 |
You're leaving, too? |
00:25:55 |
Sorry. |
00:25:58 |
I'm just so scared. |
00:26:14 |
Take this. |
00:26:19 |
I want someone to appreciate it. |
00:26:25 |
Make your future with it. |
00:26:47 |
Salute. |
00:27:09 |
I didn't think so many would leave. |
00:27:14 |
They're our hope for the future. |
00:27:21 |
The 25 men who departed |
00:27:24 |
headed for a Japanese-held island |
00:27:27 |
and made it safely back to Japan. |
00:27:28 |
And made it safely back to Japan. |
00:27:30 |
August 11th |
00:27:36 |
Tokyo |
00:27:40 |
2 hours, 30 minutes |
00:27:57 |
Sorry to keep you waiting. |
00:27:59 |
A car's ready to take you. |
00:28:02 |
Maybe we're already too late... |
00:28:11 |
The Mariana Islands - Tinian |
00:28:33 |
Take her down! |
00:28:36 |
44 seconds. Everyone's calm. |
00:28:38 |
All hands, battle stations! |
00:28:40 |
We're heading straight |
00:28:44 |
We have to be fast. |
00:28:57 |
Via the shallows is quickest. |
00:28:59 |
We can't maintain any depth. |
00:29:03 |
I know that. |
00:29:04 |
It'd take too long. |
00:29:07 |
Plot the shortest course. |
00:29:12 |
1 hour, 20 minutes |
00:29:25 |
Entering the shallows. |
00:29:28 |
Hug the sea bed. |
00:29:34 |
Many destroyers passing overhead. |
00:29:40 |
It's strangely quiet. |
00:29:44 |
They want the Lorelei intact. |
00:29:47 |
It could be easily salvaged here. |
00:29:53 |
Another fleet ahead! |
00:29:54 |
Rear fleet closing... |
00:29:55 |
Forward fleet turning to us. |
00:29:57 |
A pincer move... |
00:30:32 |
Multiple charges from the fleet ahead. |
00:30:34 |
The new patterned charge... |
00:30:37 |
Defensive positions. |
00:30:39 |
Evasive action, full speed. |
00:30:40 |
Dive planes, full ahead. |
00:31:00 |
Fractures to ballast pipes! |
00:31:23 |
All stations, damage report. |
00:31:25 |
Flooding in no. 4 ballast. |
00:31:26 |
Aft launch area, fighting leaks! |
00:31:29 |
Nothing wrong, here. |
00:31:31 |
All clear. |
00:31:32 |
Let's check the mini-sub. |
00:31:35 |
Ship's stores flooding. |
00:31:36 |
Seal it and get pumping. |
00:31:39 |
Broken pipe in bow quarters. |
00:31:41 |
What's going on topside? |
00:31:42 |
Vibrations aren't subsiding. |
00:31:43 |
The sonar's useless here. |
00:31:48 |
Are you going? |
00:31:50 |
Sure. |
00:31:52 |
I can't let her go. |
00:32:03 |
Mini-sub to bridge. |
00:32:05 |
Superficial damage. |
00:32:08 |
Forget it. The mini-sub's |
00:32:10 |
I... |
00:32:13 |
will go... |
00:32:17 |
Paula, stay there. |
00:32:18 |
I'll go. |
00:32:21 |
Can you? |
00:32:25 |
Deploy Lorelei, |
00:32:28 |
Paula, board the mini-sub. |
00:33:37 |
Origasa, how is it? |
00:33:39 |
All systems normal. |
00:33:41 |
Flood the access tube. |
00:33:43 |
Origasa! |
00:33:47 |
Kiyonaga? |
00:33:49 |
What the hell are you doing? |
00:33:51 |
Goddamn. |
00:33:53 |
My arm's stuck! |
00:33:55 |
Stop the flooding. |
00:33:57 |
I'm going to help. |
00:33:59 |
Origasa. Don't leave your post. |
00:34:01 |
I've got to help him. |
00:34:04 |
Enemy ahead. |
00:34:05 |
Distance 40 and closing. |
00:34:07 |
We won't be able to get away. |
00:34:08 |
We must continue in order |
00:34:13 |
20 meters, 10... enemy overhead. |
00:34:19 |
They've dropped charges. |
00:34:30 |
Origasa, go back. |
00:34:31 |
What about Kiyonaga? |
00:34:35 |
I said go back. |
00:34:36 |
But Captain! |
00:34:38 |
Are you trying to sink us? |
00:34:47 |
Origasa... |
00:34:51 |
Go. |
00:35:03 |
Get out! |
00:35:07 |
Get out! |
00:35:17 |
Flood it. |
00:35:19 |
Resume flooding. |
00:35:46 |
Detach the mini-sub. |
00:36:03 |
Keep your mind on the job. |
00:36:05 |
Repay our debt to him. |
00:36:07 |
Captain... |
00:36:14 |
Engage Lorelei. |
00:36:16 |
Full left rudder! |
00:36:22 |
We dodged the first salvo. |
00:36:24 |
Enemy ahead, line abreast. |
00:36:26 |
How many are they? |
00:36:30 |
25 minutes to |
00:36:34 |
We must counter attack. |
00:36:37 |
Ready tubes 1 through 4. |
00:36:39 |
Target the lead fleet. |
00:36:41 |
Wait a minute. |
00:36:45 |
We have a plan. |
00:36:47 |
Flood tubes 1 and 2. |
00:36:56 |
Fire! |
00:37:46 |
You removed the fuses... |
00:37:48 |
Disabling, not sinking them... |
00:37:50 |
Minimizing Paula's agony. |
00:37:53 |
But she suffers anyway. |
00:38:05 |
Is Paula alright? |
00:38:09 |
I don't know... |
00:38:12 |
I can still go on. |
00:38:18 |
Be strong, my dear... |
00:38:54 |
Engine, give us full power. |
00:38:56 |
It won't be enough! |
00:38:57 |
Full revs! |
00:38:58 |
Full revs in a dive? Insanity. |
00:39:01 |
Chief. |
00:39:02 |
What? |
00:39:03 |
We can do it. |
00:39:04 |
Really? |
00:39:06 |
20 seconds only. |
00:39:08 |
Well done. |
00:39:10 |
Cap'n, we can do it! |
00:39:17 |
Owada Relay Station |
00:39:21 |
Signals from the Marianas... |
00:39:24 |
Radio traffic around Tinian |
00:39:26 |
increasing this past hour. |
00:39:30 |
Something to do with Asakura? |
00:39:32 |
Maybe it's code? |
00:39:35 |
I keep hearing the word "Lorelei"... |
00:39:47 |
15 minutes to |
00:40:13 |
No. 5 and 7, direct hit. |
00:40:16 |
No. 8, on target, too. |
00:40:19 |
That's all our torpedoes gone. |
00:40:21 |
All ships in our path taken care of. |
00:40:24 |
Keep your guard up. |
00:40:45 |
Torpedoes off port bow! |
00:40:46 |
What? |
00:40:47 |
Hard to port! |
00:41:24 |
All stations, report. |
00:41:30 |
Main circuits, no power. |
00:41:32 |
Switch to auxiliary power. |
00:41:33 |
We're in bad shape, Cap'n. |
00:41:36 |
Battery room hydrogen level |
00:41:39 |
Damaged batteries, huh? |
00:41:53 |
No good. |
00:41:57 |
Start the engines. |
00:41:58 |
It's impossible... without reconnecting |
00:42:16 |
Switch out the bad battery by hand? |
00:42:18 |
If we could access the battery room. |
00:42:21 |
Forget it. You'd never survive. |
00:42:35 |
Captain... |
00:43:39 |
They've stopped. |
00:43:40 |
We're sitting ducks. |
00:44:22 |
I hear 1, 2, 3, 4 charges dropping! |
00:44:44 |
Power restored. |
00:45:03 |
Kizaki! |
00:45:12 |
Kizaki! |
00:45:26 |
4 torpedoes incoming! |
00:45:28 |
Blow main ballast! |
00:45:31 |
Into reverse! |
00:45:57 |
Listen up, both of you. |
00:45:59 |
It's our last chance. |
00:46:01 |
We'll use your torpedoes. |
00:46:02 |
They're armed. |
00:46:05 |
What'll happen to Paula? |
00:46:07 |
I'll be okay. |
00:46:18 |
If you're by my side. |
00:46:27 |
4 more incoming. |
00:46:28 |
Mini-sub, prepare to fire. |
00:46:31 |
180 meters. |
00:46:32 |
Origasa... Paula... |
00:46:35 |
We're counting on you. |
00:46:36 |
30 meters. |
00:46:37 |
20 meters. |
00:46:39 |
Dive planes up. |
00:46:40 |
10 meters. |
00:46:44 |
Fire! |
00:47:28 |
We did it. |
00:47:29 |
They think we're sunk. |
00:47:32 |
6 minutes 'til we strike. |
00:47:34 |
Let's go save Tokyo! |
00:47:43 |
I'm okay. |
00:47:47 |
I'm okay. |
00:47:54 |
Request permission to dock |
00:48:01 |
Captain? |
00:48:02 |
Can you hear me? |
00:48:24 |
Prepare to discard mini-sub. |
00:48:29 |
We will not dock. |
00:48:30 |
What's going on? |
00:48:34 |
Mini-sub crew, leave the combat zone. |
00:48:38 |
Find your own way home |
00:48:43 |
Please take us with you. |
00:48:48 |
It's not fair. Don't abandon us. |
00:48:50 |
It's our responsibility from here. |
00:48:55 |
We older generation started this war. |
00:48:59 |
Yet we relied on you youngsters |
00:49:04 |
I apologize. |
00:49:07 |
We left things up to chance. |
00:49:13 |
Didn't know how else to live. |
00:49:18 |
But you're different. |
00:49:21 |
Decide for yourselves |
00:49:27 |
Then cherish it with all your heart. |
00:49:32 |
Truly important? |
00:49:37 |
Think. |
00:49:40 |
You'll know it when you find it. |
00:49:51 |
Yukito... |
00:49:56 |
Look. |
00:50:01 |
Look after her, Origasa. |
00:50:05 |
Captain! |
00:50:06 |
Release. |
00:50:08 |
Those are my final orders. |
00:50:13 |
Captain! |
00:50:14 |
Cut the umbilical. |
00:50:20 |
Full speed ahead! |
00:50:44 |
Paula's singing. |
00:51:14 |
She was a lovely kid. |
00:51:38 |
Live, Paula... |
00:52:00 |
2 minutes before take-off |
00:52:04 |
Here we are at last. |
00:52:10 |
When this is over |
00:52:16 |
I know a great girl |
00:52:22 |
Surfacing into position. |
00:52:41 |
Time remaining... |
00:52:43 |
15 seconds... 13... |
00:52:46 |
11 seconds... 10... 9... 8 |
00:53:39 |
Open fire! |
00:54:33 |
This is your Captain. |
00:54:36 |
We're setting course for home. |
00:54:48 |
Let's go, boys. |
00:59:27 |
No-one knows what happened to them. |
00:59:31 |
One thing is certain, though... |
00:59:35 |
They sacrificed everything |
