00:00:26 (Coast guard patrolling boat Soya,
00:00:31 (It had gone past the storm
00:03:43 (Showa Base, Ongul Island)
00:03:47 The Showa Base is
00:03:49 the first base being built by the Japanese
00:03:52 after participated
00:04:05 In order to be successful at the campaign,
00:04:07 the team is staying in Antarctica during the winter.
00:04:12 This is also a fight against the cruel nature
00:04:25 Hey, it's time for supper!
00:04:27 Come, Ricky.
00:04:34 Taro, here you go.
00:04:37 Good boy.
00:04:41 Come, Jiro.
00:04:47 Come, Furen.
00:04:52 Hey, Ankie, Taro.
00:04:58 You guys are spoiled too much!
00:05:00 Aren't you guys supposed to be brothers?
00:05:02 And you also grew up in Antarctica.
00:05:23 If we start too late, the ice might get too loose.
00:05:26 Then we can't travel inland.
00:05:29 But looking at that engine,
00:05:32 we can't really go far.
00:05:35 The first car needs to be fixed also.
00:05:39 Aye, such poor performance.
00:05:41 The second team may bring a better sleigh.
00:05:44 Because we have already told them
00:05:45 what parts need to be improved.
00:05:48 I really want to get to Botsnnuten.
00:05:51 Because you have already arrived at Antarctica?
00:05:54 I can understand your feeling.
00:05:57 But looking at the Observation team's
00:05:59 we have already accomplished ours.
00:06:04 Hey Shiota.
00:06:06 What is it?
00:06:10 How much luggage weight can a dog sled pull?
00:06:14 Well...
00:06:16 If we are looking at something really heavy,
00:06:19 the standard should be around half the dog's weight.
00:06:29 then it should be...
00:06:34 Jiro, it's 34.5.
00:06:37 Alright.
00:06:39 Mr. Shiota, which dog should we weight next?
00:06:41 Taro. Sure.
00:06:42 Let's take a photo with Taro, hurry hurry.
00:06:47 Come, Taro, such a good boy.
00:06:51 Come on.
00:06:54 Okay, ready, come on.
00:06:59 It is decided that dog sleds should be used
00:07:01 to travel around Antarctica.
00:07:12 the strongest team of dog sleds.
00:07:16 The goal is to
00:07:18 arrive at Botsnnuten,
00:07:21 The team will survey its actual position, its elevation
00:07:24 and its geology.
00:07:29 Akatsuki Shiota is responsible
00:07:31 for geology measurements
00:07:34 Responsible for meteorology measurements,
00:07:36 is Ochi Kenjiro, who will too look after the dogs.
00:07:39 The one who is experienced in mountaineering,
00:07:43 These three guys have been chosen
00:09:52 Go...
00:09:55 Go on...
00:09:58 Ricky, go, Ricky.
00:10:06 Go...
00:10:08 Go...
00:10:09 Let's go...
00:10:26 Let's get moving.
00:10:30 Jake, come on.
00:10:32 We are almost there.
00:10:36 Keep going, it will get easier once
00:10:44 Good, doctor, keep pulling hard.
00:10:49 Are you okay?
00:10:55 Jake.
00:10:58 Good...
00:11:00 Good.
00:11:09 Jiro.
00:11:12 Good, hurry up, let's get moving.
00:11:15 Jiro, Oguma.
00:11:17 Good...
00:11:28 Good, let's make a stop...
00:11:32 Doctor, how are you doing?
00:11:34 Ochi,
00:11:36 If you don't change your socks soon
00:11:37 Of course.
00:11:46 Let's stop here...
00:11:50 We should already be on Padda Island by now.
00:12:01 That's strange, what is that over there?
00:12:20 It's a whale.
00:12:22 It seems the corpse has been pushed to the surface
00:12:40 God, what a mess.
00:14:12 Jake, do you know
00:14:13 what kind of noise is it?
00:14:15 That is not the wind whistling, for sure.
00:14:19 That sounds like ice blocks collapsing
00:14:20 on each other.
00:14:26 What is it, are you scared?
00:14:28 If you are scared by this,
00:14:30 How are you going to
00:14:35 The reason why I am pushing you guys so hard,
00:14:39 is that I am hoping you guys will become tougher.
00:14:42 Here it is different than Japan, this is Antarctica.
00:14:48 Only the strongest can survive.
00:14:50 Got it?
00:14:56 I have never expected a harsh trainer like you
00:14:57 to have a soft side.
00:14:59 Oh come on,
00:15:02 I was just woken by the doctor's horrible snoring.
00:15:05 Then I heard that guy
00:15:06 whining outside.
00:15:07 I just couldn't help myself.
00:15:08 Me too.
00:15:11 If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have heard that.
00:15:15 The wind has gotten stronger.
00:15:17 Go and check the strings on the tent.
00:15:18 Good, have a good night.
00:15:28 Go...
00:15:31 Go, Ricky, go on.
00:15:37 Rickey seems a little abnormal.
00:15:41 Good, let's stop here...
00:15:43 Stop, now...
00:15:47 Good, let's put Jiro at the front to lead the team.
00:15:51 Sure.
00:15:53 Terry should stay back too.
00:15:54 Move Furen and Taro to the front.
00:16:08 Of course.
00:16:11 Go...
00:16:14 Go...
00:16:28 Go...
00:16:41 Are you okay?
00:16:43 I am fine.
00:17:16 Stop here...
00:17:18 Ochi. What is it?
00:17:21 One of the dogs is bleeding.
00:17:40 Which one is it?
00:17:43 It's Taro.
00:17:46 Is it serious?
00:17:47 Not really.
00:17:51 Can't believe that Jiro is hurt too.
00:18:07 Good, time to pull, move it.
00:18:09 Pull harder.
00:18:15 Come, let's hurry up.
00:18:17 Let's start pulling.
00:18:21 Hurry and pull.
00:18:25 Let's get on moving.
00:18:33 Good, stop here.
00:18:35 Let's stop here...
00:18:37 Okay, stop...
00:18:45 Alright, Furen's stronger. Let's move him to the front.
00:19:17 It should be fine,
00:19:20 shouldn't it?
00:19:35 Go...
00:19:43 Let's stop.
00:19:46 Goro, what is it?
00:19:48 Aren't you the most experienced in the team?
00:19:54 Come on, let's push it.
00:20:00 Ochi.
00:20:03 It's my turn.
00:20:17 Okay.
00:20:21 Time to go.
00:20:24 Get ready.
00:20:26 Pull...
00:20:30 Pull...
00:20:31 Pull...
00:20:49 Okay, stop.
00:21:23 Good, we are going downhill from now on.
00:21:26 Ochi, let's go.
00:21:28 Excellent.
00:21:31 Doctor? Sure.
00:21:34 Good, let's go.
00:21:40 Ochi, let's be careful. Right.
00:21:47 Doctor.
00:21:48 Stop here...
00:21:51 Goro, are you okay?
00:21:54 It's all because you haven't
00:21:55 run fast enough.
00:22:01 Hey, how are you doing?
00:22:03 I am fine.
00:22:05 I wasn't asking you, I was asking the dogs.
00:22:09 The dogs and I are fine.
00:22:11 Go...
00:22:15 Come... let's go...
00:22:21 Let's stop...
00:22:31 It's time to eat!
00:22:41 Come.
00:22:56 Hey, Whitey, do you want some of this?
00:23:02 Go ahead and eat!
00:23:04 Thanks.
00:23:11 This is our food.
00:23:15 A young fellow like yourself must be starving.
00:23:17 Gosh, this is so harsh.
00:23:20 It's okay, I can tolerate this
00:23:22 Because this is Antarctica, the land of my dream.
00:24:08 Good, we are almost there.
00:24:11 Hey. Yes?
00:24:12 Can you bring Goro over here? Of course.
00:24:14 Goro, Goro is leaving.
00:24:19 Goro, Goro is leaving.
00:24:25 Goro...
00:24:27 Goro...
00:24:31 Goro...
00:24:33 Goro...
00:24:34 Goro...
00:24:36 Goro...
00:24:41 Goro...
00:24:43 Go...
00:24:47 Goro...
00:24:51 What do you want?
00:24:54 Do you know who's feeding you?
00:24:59 Come on.
00:25:04 Go... Goro.
00:25:10 Come on, let's go.
00:25:21 Come on, let's go, come on.
00:25:23 Come, let's move, so useless.
00:25:29 Let's go, such a useless worm.
00:25:31 Goro...
00:25:42 Goro, hurry and come back.
00:25:46 Hurry up and come back.
00:25:49 If not, we are leaving you.
00:25:53 Please, come back here.
00:25:56 Please, I beg of you.
00:25:59 Do you know who is feeding you?
00:26:01 Please, I'm begging you.
00:26:20 You get it now, don't you?
00:26:24 You seem to understand me.
00:26:26 Come, let's go.
00:26:28 Let's get on, follow my lead, Goro.
00:26:55 Go...
00:26:59 Go...
00:27:09 Go...
00:27:19 Go...
00:27:27 Go...
00:28:02 Go...
00:29:16 Hurry...
00:29:19 Hurry...
00:29:24 Very good...
00:29:25 Very good... Go...
00:29:32 What is it?
00:29:33 Botsnnuten...
00:30:32 Wait.
00:30:33 This is something...
00:30:35 wrote by the students
00:30:37 from Hokkaido University,
00:30:40 and Mr. Moriiwa.
00:30:43 Let's put them all in.
00:30:47 Okay, that's good.
00:31:19 On the road back from Botsnnuten,
00:31:22 The expedition is surrounded by a very thick fog.
00:31:24 In such a windless environment,
00:31:26 Their vision is entirely blocked.
00:31:32 The world becomes white.
00:31:36 The eyes of the three team members,
00:31:38 are all damaged by strong ultraviolet ray.
00:31:41 They all got snow blindness as a result.
00:31:43 The expedition did not bring any radio transmitters
00:31:46 due to weight constraint.
00:31:49 They are as good as dead.
00:31:54 Hey let's stop here. Ochi, are you okay?
00:31:58 I am fine.
00:32:05 I am surprised that the team
00:32:09 How embarrassing.
00:32:13 Mr. Shiota.
00:32:15 What is it?
00:32:17 Can you see anything at all?
00:32:19 Only a bit.
00:32:21 Where are we now?
00:32:36 We left almost two hours ago.
00:32:41 I think we should be somewhere,
00:32:42 like twenty to thirty kilometers away from the base.
00:32:44 Only if the dogs are on the right track.
00:32:47 What can you see?
00:32:50 Nothing, the fog is too thick. Can't really see anything.
00:32:54 I was just thinking.
00:32:57 What is it?
00:32:59 We should cut Taro and Jiro loose here.
00:33:05 Right here?
00:33:06 Yes.
00:33:08 I think if we let them go back to the base,
00:33:11 Chief Ozawa will send us a rescue team.
00:33:14 But the priority is that
00:33:16 those two need to get back to the base safely.
00:33:19 I think they will be fine.
00:33:21 Do you really think so?
00:33:23 Mr. Shiota.
00:33:26 I understand your feeling, but...
00:33:29 I agree with Ochi's opinion.
00:33:32 If Taro and Jiro can't find their way,
00:33:35 we would have been lost a long time ago.
00:33:40 If that's the case,
00:33:41 it would be the same if we let them go.
00:33:48 Then it is decided.
00:33:52 Okay then, let's do this.
00:34:00 Taro, good.
00:34:09 Good, go on now.
00:34:19 Taro and Jiro were brought to Antarctica
00:34:23 A pair of siblings who grew up on the base.
00:35:38 Taro, Jiro.
00:35:43 Mr. Ozawa.
00:36:56 Such good boys.
00:37:03 Ochi, is everything fine?
00:37:06 His condition is serious.
00:37:07 Are you guys alright?
00:37:12 Ozaki, are you okay?
00:37:13 I am fine.
00:37:17 Why don't you guys ride the sleighs back to base.
00:37:19 Leave the dogs to us.
00:37:30 We are hoping to go back to the base
00:37:33 with the dogs altogether.
00:38:39 Where is Soya, hasn't it arrived already?
00:38:43 Soya can't move, sir.
00:38:46 Mr. Ochi, are you okay?
00:38:49 Yes, I am fine.
00:38:50 My eyes are just stinging from the cigarette smoke.
00:38:52 But isn't it great?
00:38:54 You three are doing fine.
00:38:55 Hey good news.
00:38:57 Whitey had just given birth to some puppies.
00:38:59 That's great.
00:39:04 Are they out already?
00:39:05 Still can't get too close to them yet.
00:39:31 Soya entered the glacier carrying
00:39:34 the second observation team.
00:39:37 But when next year arrived,
00:39:38 the weather has worsened considerably.
00:39:40 Soya was stuck inside the solid glacier
00:39:42 and couldn't get close to the base.
00:39:45 On February, Soya finally called the USA
00:39:47 Ice breaker 'Barton' for help.
00:39:55 Sleigh? What did you say about the sleigh?
00:39:59 Barton,
00:40:02 We are stranded and require urgent assistance.
00:40:07 Barton? You said Barton, what is it?
00:40:11 Hello...
00:40:15 What is it with Barton now?
00:40:20 Magnetism storm again?
00:40:23 Yes.
00:40:25 Chief.
00:40:26 Did he mean that
00:40:28 Barton is stranded in a dangerous situation?
00:40:29 It sounds like it. Yes.
00:40:32 Am I hearing right?
00:40:36 Even the Barton is unable to move.
00:40:40 It looks likes that
00:40:42 this team isn't able to move either.
00:40:51 Taro...
00:41:04 I will go and get him. Good.
00:41:08 Wait a second.
00:41:10 Mr. Shiota.
00:41:12 If he goes on acting like such a spoiled child,
00:41:15 the guy who is in charge of the dogs
00:41:16 will have a hard time.
00:41:26 Good.
00:41:27 Alright.
00:41:32 Should we take a photo? Yes or no?
00:41:40 Everybody, let's gather outside, let's meet outside.
00:41:44 The Showa has arrived.
00:41:46 We are safe now.
00:41:48 Hey.
00:41:49 Hurry up and lead the plane here.
00:41:52 Is it here?
00:41:53 Hey, we have waited for a long time.
00:41:58 Hey.
00:42:01 Hey.
00:42:02 We have waited for a long time.
00:42:15 It is here...
00:42:16 Hey...
00:42:19 Hey.
00:42:39 It's wonderful.
00:42:40 Mr. Nonomiya.
00:42:41 This has been a rough year for you guys.
00:42:43 I get to see you at last.
00:42:46 How is Mr. Horigome?
00:42:48 He's fine.
00:42:50 To be honest, it has been decided that
00:42:53 everyone in this place needs to leave today.
00:42:55 Leave?
00:42:57 You're not waiting until someone else takes over?
00:43:01 This is the same as abandoning the base
00:43:04 This decision had been made after Chief Horigome,
00:43:06 Captain Iwakiri and the planning headquarter
00:43:08 It has been decided.
00:43:09 I am terribly sorry, but can you all please hurry up?
00:43:11 I will be of your assistance.
00:43:14 Unfortunately, we can only withstand this type
00:43:17 We will transport the equipment with a beaver plane.
00:43:19 Three of the team members will go
00:43:23 Hasegawa and Takei will stay.
00:43:26 And they will be responsible
00:43:34 Everyone, please hurry and pack up.
00:43:39 Ikeuchi why don't you go with them?
00:43:41 Sure.
00:43:43 Come.
00:43:47 Good, then it is decided.
00:44:00 Act quickly, there isn't much time.
00:44:04 Okay.
00:44:11 Be good, boy.
00:44:13 Ankie, I will treat you very well.
00:44:21 Good boy.
00:44:24 Taro, Ankie.
00:44:27 Taro, hey.
00:44:30 Taro, Ankie.
00:44:33 Ankie, come here.
00:44:35 Taro, even at the final moment,
00:44:37 you are still troubling me.
00:44:45 Good, Jiro, listen up.
00:44:49 From now on
00:44:50 you can't treat your new boss
00:44:54 Ankie.
00:44:56 Ankie, stop here...
00:44:59 Stop here...
00:45:04 Mr. Shiota, you must check
00:45:07 these collars thoroughly.
00:45:09 When the second team comes,
00:45:11 it would be embarrassing if the dogs get loose.
00:45:14 Good point.
00:45:19 Good boy... good...
00:45:23 You like to bite.
00:45:26 Can't really do that from now on.
00:45:29 You must behave nicely like Jiro.
00:45:32 Got it?
00:45:34 Be good.
00:46:04 Good.
00:46:14 Please act quickly.
00:46:33 Mr. Shiota, please hurry up.
00:46:37 Mr. Ochi.
00:49:13 (Coast Guard Patrolling Boat Soya)
00:49:18 (USA Marines Ice Breaker Barton)
00:49:29 Thank you very much...
00:49:30 Second and third observatory team,
00:49:32 hurry up and come to the deck.
00:49:36 The landing deck is ready.
00:49:44 The plane has landed.
00:49:45 Thank you...
00:49:50 Please, please come over here.
00:49:52 Where are the dog handlers
00:49:54 Mr. Tokumitsu and Mr. Toda?
00:50:03 The chances of the weather getting
00:50:07 My advise is that you guys should not stay
00:50:12 No way, we are here
00:50:14 to replace the observatory team.
00:50:16 We are not giving up.
00:50:19 Kamikaze spirit?
00:50:21 No, I'm afraid you are wrong.
00:50:24 We are only saying
00:50:26 We try to make the most of the last chances we have,
00:50:30 taking in the situation correctly.
00:50:38 These are such fine documents.
00:50:41 A dog who likes to bite people?
00:50:45 This one is the leader, Ricky.
00:50:49 This one here is a loner, Oguma Furen.
00:50:53 Can I really keeping these?
00:50:55 Please go ahead, this is what the documents are for.
00:50:58 Is it really?
00:50:59 Thank you very much, I will keep them well.
00:51:03 Anything else I should be paying attention to?
00:51:09 Watch the neck collars.
00:51:11 Collars?
00:51:13 Yes, the collars should never be removed.
00:51:19 Hasegawa and Takei, I am worried about you two.
00:51:21 Mr. Hasegawa, thank you for you work.
00:51:22 Thanks, I know it was tough work.
00:51:23 Seriously. Really thank you.
00:51:27 I repeat, hurry up and take in Showa.
00:51:31 About the base...
00:51:34 How are the other dogs?
00:51:37 The second observatory team will proceed as planned.
00:51:39 It's okay to leave the dogs there.
00:51:44 How about their supper?
00:51:45 I left each of the dogs
00:51:46 enough dried herring and sardines
00:51:48 This mother dog and puppies are pilots.
00:51:50 We dump the reserving fuel
00:51:53 Attention, at seven in the morning this boat
00:52:00 will retreat to the open sea temporarily.
00:52:04 Once the weather gets better
00:53:00 Soya, which went to the open sea
00:53:04 is now back at the glacier,
00:53:07 trying hard to bring the second observation team
00:53:10 to the base.
00:53:22 The explosive is ready.
00:53:25 Do it.
00:53:32 Let's go back at full speed.
00:53:33 Engines run at full speed.
00:53:55 Mr. Shiota.
00:54:05 The collars, I wish to speak with you about the collars.
00:54:11 We shouldn't have tightened their collars
00:54:22 because something like this might happen.
00:54:25 If Ankie couldn't get the collars loose in time...
00:54:35 Ochi. Yes.
00:54:40 It will clear up, it should be time.
00:54:46 It will clear up for sure.
00:54:48 Although you are so confident,
00:54:50 These ice blocks are huge.
00:55:07 The ice blocks have not split at all.
00:55:09 Engines proceed slowly.
00:55:11 Engines proceed slowly.
00:55:18 It should be fine this way.
00:55:49 Attention, the crew members of the Soya
00:55:54 and the observation team.
00:55:58 I feel terribly sorry to say that
00:56:04 the weather is not getting better.
00:56:07 In addition, Soya has reached its full capability.
00:56:12 We must terminate the mission of
00:56:15 the second observatory team.
00:56:19 The Showa base must be abandoned at once.
00:56:27 Soya will withdraw its mission regarding the glacier.
00:56:31 And it will head back.
00:56:34 Like everyone of you,
00:56:36 I did my best to accomplish this mission.
00:56:40 Nevertheless we have done everything we can.
00:56:42 Mr. Shiota.
00:56:43 All our efforts have been wasted.
00:56:45 I am sorry.
00:56:46 We have been through
00:56:48 everything all along
00:56:49 we should encourage each other,
00:56:54 Captain.
00:56:55 He is in the map room.
00:57:00 Captain... you, you are giving up on the dogs?
00:57:05 Ochi, please stop.
00:57:09 We have done our best.
00:57:12 Please, two more trips.
00:57:14 Please let the Showa go two more times.
00:57:16 Then we can bring back all the dogs.
00:57:20 It is impossible in this weather.
00:57:22 Then we fly there once.
00:57:25 Can we let the plane fly once more?
00:57:27 Flying once is not enough.
00:57:31 I am going regardless.
00:57:58 I will poison them.
00:58:07 There's no other way to be responsible.
00:58:21 Your name is Mr. Shiota right.
00:58:25 If we do not terminate the mission today,
00:58:27 then we are going against the order
00:58:30 Moreover...
00:58:31 Moreover?
00:58:33 This boat is short of fresh water supply.
00:58:38 We cannot waste
00:58:41 anymore fuel for the water generator.
00:58:44 Shiota.
00:58:46 The blades and the rudder are damaged.
00:58:49 Soya is in a bad shape, and there is no more fuel.
00:58:53 Even returning to Cap Town is no easy task.
00:58:57 Please cut the nonsense.
00:58:58 It's not fair to the crew members.
00:59:05 Drinking water?
00:59:10 If there is no drinking water,
00:59:12 then there is nothing left to do.
01:01:10 Mr. Shiota.
01:01:17 I...
01:01:20 I should give this back to you.
01:01:26 Actually, we are carrying something very important.
01:01:32 This is what the fans of Karafuto all over the nation
01:01:35 gave us to decorate the dog's home.
01:01:51 We are leaving.
01:02:09 Good.
01:02:14 Get a shave, it will loosen you up a bit.
01:02:16 Mr. Shiota.
01:02:25 There is nothing I can do.
01:02:30 What do you think I can do?
01:05:15 The first to break the chain was Ankie.
01:05:31 The second one was Jake.
01:05:54 Then it was the leader Ricky,
01:06:05 Then came Jiro.
01:06:14 Whitey was free at last.
01:07:09 The loose dogs have gone back to the base.
01:07:26 Taro and Jiro, the brothers,
01:07:28 they have always stayed together.
01:08:23 Ricky and other dogs went back
01:08:26 in order to look for humans.
01:09:37 Bess, Moses and the rest...
01:09:40 A few of them went down.
01:09:51 The leader of the dogs, Ricky
01:09:53 brought Ankie, Jake, Whitey, and Jiro
01:09:58 outside of the base to look for food.
01:10:44 Oguma Furen has taken off also.
01:10:56 Taro and Oguma followed
01:10:59 the track of their friends.
01:11:28 Then Jiro appeared.
01:11:36 Jiro came back because he was worried about Taro.
01:12:12 (Ricky)
01:12:15 (Jake)
01:12:18 (Ankie)
01:12:21 (Whitey)
01:12:24 (Oguma Furen)
01:12:25 (Taro)
01:12:28 (Jiro)
01:12:41 The dogs are trying hard to find food.
01:13:13 The last one is here.
01:13:14 Terry broke free from the chain at last.
01:13:22 He followed his friend.
01:13:39 Then they all came together.
01:13:55 The chasm of the glacier
01:13:57 are all over the place on the ice field.
01:14:01 From these gaps we can see the darkness of the sea.
01:14:04 These gaps will open and close
01:14:06 according to the tides of the sea.
01:14:10 The creatures in the sea
01:14:12 will be pulled up to the ice field because of this force.
01:14:14 Then they would freeze.
01:14:41 Ricky and Oguma Furen,
01:14:44 they all know that.
01:14:46 However, the edges around the gaps
01:14:48 are very dangerous to the dogs.
01:15:33 (Terry, six years old, was born in Asahikawa.)
00:00:12 (Early Summer)
00:00:14 (Department of Geology, Hokkaido University)
00:00:21 People are so stupid in Japan.
00:00:24 They know nothing about the Antarctica and the dogs
00:00:26 but they still talk like that.
00:00:28 Saying things like 'What a pity.'
00:00:32 How tedious.
00:00:36 And you...
00:00:37 You shouldn't have given into such foolish whining.
00:00:41 What are you going to do now you've quit this job?
00:00:45 I haven't decided yet.
00:00:50 Do you want to go to Australia?
00:00:54 It's just...
00:00:55 It's the Geology department in Melbourne.
00:01:01 You can go there for a couple of years, to freshen up.
00:01:03 I appreciate that, Sir.
00:01:08 Alright, I understand...
00:01:10 If you knew a way to loosen up,
00:01:12 you wouldn't have left the university.
00:01:49 Antarctica in May.
00:01:54 It is a short rest for the dogs.
00:02:01 Ankie and Whitey became very close.
00:02:40 Mirage appears in Antarctica all the time.
00:03:49 Under Ricky and Oguma Furen's supervision,
00:03:53 Taro and Jiro have learned how to catch seals.
00:04:20 Seals and Penguins have gone far
00:04:22 to the frozen ice field.
00:04:26 Winter has arrived in Antarctica.
00:04:30 Ricky traced the footsteps of the human,
00:04:33 and ran towards the inland.
00:04:37 That was the path they took
00:04:39 on the expedition to Botsnnuten.
00:04:42 However, Oguma Furen likes to be left alone.
00:04:47 So he stayed at the gap.
00:05:16 In Antarctica, the sun does not appear
00:05:21 from May to July.
00:05:24 The whole Antarctica becomes dark and hellish.
00:05:53 Aurora takes over the sky in Antarctica.
00:06:00 The dogs are afraid of the aurora.
00:06:02 They stayed very close to each other.
00:07:35 All of the sudden Jake stood up
00:07:36 and ran off like mad.
00:08:17 The loner, Oguma Furen,
00:08:20 looked up to the sky.
00:08:41 Jake left his friends,
00:08:44 he stood alone on the huge glacier.
00:08:58 (July, Gion Festival)
00:09:04 (Department of Geophysis, Kyoto University)
00:09:13 Please come in.
00:09:16 I am sorry for being late.
00:09:20 Are you still working?
00:09:24 Do we really have to go?
00:09:26 It will be so crowded.
00:09:29 But I did not go last year.
00:09:33 Was that my fault?
00:09:35 You think it wasn't?
00:09:37 You ran off to the end of the world.
00:09:38 Was that not your fault?
00:09:40 Anyways, we should get moving.
00:09:43 Gosh, hurry up and get ready.
00:09:45 If you don't listen to me,
00:09:48 I am not gonna marry you.
00:09:54 It's there...
00:09:56 I can see it there.
00:09:58 The Japanese halberd is there.
00:10:00 It is beautiful.
00:10:07 Little P, see... the Japanese halberd is here.
00:10:09 Look.
00:10:12 Little P, that is the Japanese halberd.
00:10:13 See? Go have a look...
00:10:19 You look like a dog lover.
00:10:22 Because dogs know a dog lover when they see one.
00:10:26 Little P, right?
00:10:29 Let's go.
00:10:31 What's wrong?
00:10:35 Hey.
00:10:53 Is it true, Sir?
00:10:55 What?
00:10:56 The hottest days in Japan
00:10:59 would be the coldest days in Antarctica.
00:11:01 Boss, please stop it.
00:11:03 Didn't I tell you the guy don't like
00:11:06 Actually that is the truth.
00:11:07 But how do you know that?
00:11:09 No way.
00:11:11 Don't touch that.
00:11:13 Boss, please don't change the subject.
00:11:15 How did you find out?
00:11:17 Oh no.
00:11:19 It's very hot now,
00:11:21 But people claim that it's winter in the South.
00:11:23 I just don't understand that.
00:11:26 Yeah this is it.
00:11:29 It's all this book's fault.
00:11:32 That is the article I read.
00:11:34 (Feeling guilty about leaving the huskies)
00:11:40 (Member of the observatory team, Shiota, is traveling)
00:11:46 (to apologize to the families that provided the dogs.)
00:12:18 He sacrificed himself
00:12:19 for such a great mission, I think he died a good death.
00:12:22 Although it is a pity,
00:12:23 but I would not blame anyone for it.
00:12:25 Thank you for making this trip.
00:12:28 I should go.
00:12:30 Thank you for coming.
00:12:54 Please accept this.
00:12:59 Please take care of it.
00:13:04 By the way...
00:13:08 I want to ask you something
00:13:12 Please go ahead.
00:13:15 When you last saw Ricky,
00:13:21 what was he doing?
00:13:26 Ricky belonged to me and my sister.
00:13:30 My sister is not here at the moment.
00:13:32 I think when she gets back, she would ask me for sure.
00:13:46 Ricky and the rest of the dogs
00:13:52 were chained together.
00:13:59 Chained?
00:14:03 I am terribly sorry.
00:14:16 That is Ricky's grave, my sister made it.
00:15:18 I don't want any other dog.
00:15:22 Ricky won't come back even
00:15:26 I will not accept other dogs.
00:15:30 Why did you leave Ricky and come back by yourself?
00:15:33 Why didn't you bring him back with you?
00:15:37 I hate you.
00:15:39 Hate you...
00:15:43 Give me back Ricky.
00:15:45 Maki, what are you doing? Stop it.
00:15:53 We have decided not to raise another dog.
00:15:55 So please take that dog back.
00:15:59 Maki, it is okay now, let's go home.
00:18:30 All of the sudden Ricky started to run wildly
00:18:33 Because there remained the smell of humans.
00:18:35 That was the storage place
00:18:48 Some leftover seal meat was found.
00:20:11 The one who fell is Whitey, he was very close to Ankie.
00:22:34 (Whitey, three years old, was born in Kio)
00:23:09 Now the mayor will give his words.
00:23:14 The Karafuto dogs, who were sacrificed in honor
00:23:20 during the exploration in Antarctica,
00:23:24 was born here, in Hokkaido.
00:23:28 Then they were raised in this town.
00:23:31 Furen's Oguma, Kio's Ankie.
00:23:35 They were trained the same way as the others.
00:23:37 Hokkaido is very proud to have
00:23:45 They are not only the pride of Hokkaido,
00:23:50 they are the pride of Japan.
00:23:54 We are now doing this for our friends...
00:23:59 Mr. Shiota.
00:24:00 The Europeans are
00:24:06 I'm sorry.
00:24:08 Would you let us interview you?
00:24:10 Please answer some questions for us.
00:24:12 I am sorry.
00:24:15 Mr. Shiota, since you quit your job at the university,
00:24:18 you have been giving speeches about the dogs, right?
00:24:21 Is that because of the guilt brought by the fact
00:24:24 that you left these dogs in Antarctica?
00:24:30 What do you mean by guilt?
00:24:34 The dogs were our partners.
00:24:38 But what became of them at last?
00:24:41 You chose to abandon them.
00:24:43 And that is such a cruel way to die.
00:24:45 What do you make of that?
00:24:50 You are right.
00:24:57 We should have killed them
00:24:58 with our own hands at that moment.
00:25:02 Goodbye.
00:25:16 Why are you not talking?
00:25:20 Don't you have something to tell me?
00:25:24 Yes.
00:25:28 The reason why I came to Hokkaido
00:25:30 is because there is something
00:25:32 I have to tell you in person.
00:25:35 However, I changed my mind
00:25:38 when I just saw you.
00:25:42 Why is that?
00:25:45 The reason is...
00:25:48 we turn out to be the same.
00:25:55 Feeling regret for something we did,
00:26:01 or trying to pretend not to care.
00:26:23 Feeling regret for something we did?
00:26:39 Does it sound familiar?
00:26:44 Does it?
00:26:46 Remember?
00:26:48 When we were on our way to Botsnnuten.
00:26:51 Yes?
00:26:53 You don't remember?
00:26:58 Is it a corpse of a whale?
00:27:02 That looks like it.
00:27:07 I wonder which of the dogs
00:27:10 had ran off to inside.
00:27:12 It reckon it would have been Jiro.
00:27:14 Maybe Jiro?
00:27:18 Would Ankie and Oguma be inside as well?
00:27:22 No, it should be Ricky.
00:27:25 Ricky?
00:27:28 If it was Ricky, he must have led his friends there.
00:27:31 Yes, he must.
00:27:36 Ochi. Yes.
00:27:41 Do you think they are still alive?
00:27:45 What do you think, Mr. Shiota?
00:28:13 At that time,
00:28:14 Ricky, Taro, Jiro, and Ankie were all that were left.
00:28:35 The dogs were back from the inland
00:28:40 They were feeling fatigued.
00:29:29 The appearance of the skuas
00:29:31 meant that the cruel winter had ended.
00:29:43 However, nature did not
00:29:46 greet these dogs warmly.
00:31:27 A killer whale made a surprised attack.
00:31:29 Ricky boldly protected Taro and Jiro.
00:32:38 Taro and Jiro came back
00:33:23 It was Ricky who told Taro that
00:33:24 they could find Seal corpses near the crack.
00:33:36 Ricky fought for his life.
00:33:45 Unfortunately, he can't make it anymore...
00:34:15 (Ricky, six years old, was born in Kio)
00:34:47 Ankie's ice block was floating toward the inland.
00:35:01 Good afternoon.
00:35:11 Good afternoon, Miss.
00:35:20 Is that the puppy you brought to my home before?
00:35:24 Yes.
00:35:28 It has grown, what is his name?
00:35:32 It's Ricky.
00:35:37 Ricky...
00:35:48 We have decided to raise another dog.
00:35:56 Is that so?
00:36:04 Ricky must be thrilled.
00:36:16 Ricky... wait for me, Ricky.
00:36:22 Ricky.
00:36:25 Ricky.
00:36:32 Ricky was raised on Kio island.
00:36:35 Once winter gets there,
00:36:37 the dog would be left on the island.
00:36:40 But people will come back for the winter.
00:36:44 The dogs would have to go and find food
00:36:47 They would survive.
00:36:52 Therefore Ricky must be surviving on his own also.
00:36:58 Because he is a diligent dog.
00:37:07 Even if he can survive on Kio by himself,
00:37:11 but you can't compare Antarctica with Kio
00:37:19 I think so.
00:37:37 It is impossible for all of them to survive.
00:37:42 However,
00:37:45 Recently I have felt that
00:37:47 few of them should be able to survive.
00:37:50 That's what I think.
00:37:58 But Karafuto dogs can withstand
00:38:07 Ricky will probably find food on his own.
00:38:12 I hope so.
00:38:18 That's great.
00:38:29 Up to now,
00:38:38 I'm still regretting that
00:38:42 we did not kill the dogs.
00:38:45 But that would be wrong.
00:38:52 Because that is not the way life is supposed to be.
00:38:58 All lives are equal.
00:39:02 No one has the right to end their lives.
00:39:11 It took me such a long time
00:39:16 to understand that.
00:40:10 Springtime arrived in Antarctica.
00:41:48 For Taro and Jiro, who grew up in Antarctica,
00:41:52 the base is their home.
00:45:07 Oguma Furen brought a dog with him.
00:45:19 It was Ankie
00:45:21 who was taken to the inland on an ice block.
00:45:25 Ankie met Oguma Furen
00:45:28 who stayed at the chasm.
00:45:31 That is the reason why he survived.
00:45:52 The three dogs then followed Furen
00:45:56 to hunt for food.
00:47:04 (Ankie, three years old, born in Kio)
00:47:22 Only three huskies were left.
00:47:34 (Oguma Furen, five years old, born in Furen)
00:47:41 Oguma Furen once again disappeared
00:47:51 Taro and Jiro couldn't bear
00:47:55 to leave the base, their hometown.
00:49:54 Why are you looking worried?
00:50:00 (At least twelve people would form)
00:50:01 (the third Antarctica expedition team)
00:50:05 Would you go without telling me?
00:50:08 No.
00:50:11 How can I leave you again
00:50:14 and go to the end of the earth by myself.
00:50:18 Even if I go,
00:50:21 it would only make me sad.
00:50:23 So does it mean that
00:50:25 you still haven't joined the team, right?
00:50:34 Hurry... you should get to Tokyo now.
00:50:41 You should be able to make it if you go now.
00:50:47 I will wait for you.
00:50:49 You should go to Antarctica and see for yourself.
00:50:53 Then you can decide to choose me,
00:50:57 or leave me.
00:52:38 Please stay around, Mr. Shiota.
00:52:52 (Jake, four years old, born in Kio)
00:53:00 Ochi, that's Jake.
00:53:18 I am sorry.
00:53:20 Can we go around that mountain once more?
00:53:24 Captain, what did you see?
00:53:29 Hurry up and get to the Showa base.
00:53:32 Mr. Shiota, the supplies will be shipped immediately
00:53:36 after investigating the base.
00:53:38 Can you please give up?
00:56:19 Mr. Shiota.
00:56:39 Goro.
00:56:44 It must be the lack of food.
