01x03 - Kaieda VS Fukamachi

[bunniefuu]

We declare our independence.

We hereby declare

the establishment

of the Independent Nation of Yamato.

No movement from Ronald Reagan.

Tatsunami is approaching.

WASHINGTON

RESIDENCE OF THE US PRESIDEN

Emergency surface.

Don't whack any hulls.

Copy. Emergency surface.

Blow the main tanks.

Emergency surface!

-Full rudder, full rise.

-Full rudder, full rise.

-Blow main tank.

-Blow main tank.

Twenty seven.

To Captain Kaieda of

the 7th Fleet Sea Bat.

This is JMSDF Second Submarine Flotilla

Tatsunami CO,

Commander Fukamachi.

Requesting permission

to board the Sea Bat.

To the CO of the Tatsunami,

Commander Fukamachi.

This ship has already

declared independence

and is the Independent Nation of Yamato.

We do not belong to the 7th Fleet Sea Bat.

No movement from the 7th Fleet.

It's a bluff.

They can't just attack an allied ship.

To Leader Kaieda

of the Independent Nation of Yamato.

We request that you allow one person

from Japan to enter your nation.

Permission granted.

Minister, the Tatsunami's captain

will board Yamato.

Shortly, the Tatsunami's captain

will make contact with Kaieda,

so he will handle the negotiations.

Specifically?

Firstly, we'll ask Kaieda what he wants

in exchange for the Sea Bat.

Secondly?

Use of force.

If we can somehow deal with Captain Kaieda

the remaining crew will comply.

What's the purpose

of declaring independence?

The name "Yamato" is troublesome.

It suggests association with Japan.

There's also the issue

of nuclear warheads.

Kaieda has to be bluffing, though.

If the Sea Bat has nukes,

then we'll k*ll two birds with one stone.

It was always supposed to have them.

So, you admit that Project Sea Bat

is the first step to acquiring nukes?

Acquiring nukes?

-Captain, the boat is ready.

-Okay.

-What did Command say?

-Persuade him to hand over the Sea Bat.

-That's all?

-Yeah.

Wait, sir.

Just to be safe.

The 7th Fleet might attack.

If that happens, launch the ship

without me. Do not hesitate.

Yes, sir.

-I'll escort you, sir.

-Thanks.

Release the boat.

Nuclear armament?

Japan is an NPT signatory.

Ms. Sonezaki.

This is not set in stone yet.

But showing that we're prepared for this

serves as a deterrent to other countries.

It's part of national security.

And America gets to offload military costs

onto Japan while increasing its influence.

Mr. Kageyama, what would happen

if we accepted Yamato's independence?

What?

What would happen if the world accepted

Yamato's independence?

Come on! Acknowledging a single submarine

as a state is ridiculous.

But I get the feeling

that Kaieda's up to something.

Up to something?

Well, I don't know exactly yet,

but I don't think that Kaieda

is just some madman.

There must be some logic behind this.

The Sea Bat will be ours.

That won't change.

Sir.

Let's take a brief break.

It's been a long time, Captain Kaieda.

I'm now the head of state.

Welcome to our country.

Our country?

I've never been to such a musty,

all-male country before.

I can't imagine your true goal here

is to play king.

What the hell are you thinking?

Is that what you came here

to ask, Fukamachi?

I can't imagine someone as good as you

doing this for no reason.

We have a great mission to accomplish.

A mission?

This is a militant state

that doesn't belong to any country.

We will fight other nations

as a military state,

which the UN forces, controlled by

powerful nations' agendas, cannot do.

Are you trying to start a world w*r?

We will unify the world

as a single nation.

Unify the world?

I heard the sound of the Yamanami

being crushed.

It sounded like she was crying,

having been abandoned by you.

I can't trust a crew

that abandons ship as a cover-up.

Shouldering great responsibility

takes courage.

Fukamachi,

now that you're the CO,

you should see that too.

Why should I?

Back then, you didn't even hesitate.

Courage?

You can't even save one person,

yet you dream of unifying the world?

What a joke.

It's the only way

to rid this world of w*r.

That's impossible!

It is not.

With this submarine, and this crew,

it's possible.

You're insane.

Commander Fukamachi.

It's time to leave.

Irie

Movement from the Shiloh off port.

They're preparing to attack.

It's time. This ship will rapid dive

in one minute.

Ready to submerge.

Ready to submerge.

Ready to submerge.

Steering ready. Steering ready.

Pull the CO up. You can abandon the boat.

Impact aft, 200 meters!

Tatsunami's CO has returned.

Dive.

Ready to dive.

Understood. Alert bridge.

Captain is here.

I told you not to hesitate.

I waited for the captain

without hesitation.

Shall we pursue the Sea Bat?

Let's do it.

We're ready.

Aye.

Take her down!

Aye, sir.

The Tatsunami is pursuing, sir.

Monitor the 7th Fleet's movements.

Aye, sir.

Make ready torpedo tubes one and two.

Make ready torpedo tubes one and two!

-Are we firing?

-Target their screw without a payload.

The same way they immobilized

the Key West?

Right.

We'll stop her.

P-3 is approaching.

They're sh**ting ahead of us.

Halt the screw.

-Halt!

-Halt!

Captain.

The Sea Bat has stopped.

Sonar, report bearing.

Mark, 90 degrees.

The Tatsunami's flooding her launch tubes.

Torpedo room. Torpedoes one and two ready.

Torpedoes one and two ready.

Fire.

Incoming from the Tatsunami.

Two torpedoes.

Distance 2,000.

Missiles from the P-3 splashing down!

Can you hear them?

Nothing, sir.

Rapid dive. Full rudder, full dive planes.

-Full ahead.

-Full ahead.

Full rudder, full dive planes.

The Sea Bat's status?

Come on! I can't hear a thing

over the bubbles from the explosions.

Nam, you're the only one

who can hear through it.

Oh yeah?

Leave it to me.

I've got the Sea Bat.

Where is it?

Five meters directly below us.

We almost collided.

Incoming anti-sub missiles.

It's directly above us.

Approximately 20 seconds to collision.

Incoming anti-sub missiles.

We're gonna get hit!

Thirty meters directly above us.

Full forward, full rudder.

-Full forward, full rudder.

-Full forward, full rudder.

-Full forward, full rudder.

-Get us out of there!

Ten seconds to impact.

If the Tatsunami gets hit,

we'll be damaged too.

Fukamachi will dodge it.

Five seconds!

All hands, brace for impact!

Torpedo expl*si*n. Shockwave coming.

All torpedoes detonated at depth 400.

They didn't really intend

to take us down, did they?

Rapid dive to depth 1,000.

-Rapid dive, depth 1,000.

-Rapid dive, depth 1,000.

All right?

Everyone all right?

Yes, sir.

You okay?

EMERGENCY BOARD

All stations, commence rapid assessment.

Report damage status.

All stations, commence rapid assessment.

Report damage status.

Engine room flooding.

Stay calm, don't panic.

Aye sir.

Flooding located in engine room.

-Flooding located in engine room.

-Seal breach.

Emergency commanding officer

Restore backup power ASAP.

On-Site Commander, Engineer.

Drain pumps operating normally.

Power is back.

Captain. The Sea Bat is diving.

Seal the breached sections ASAP.

I guess it's time to say goodbye

to the Tatsunami.

Fukamachi isn't one to give up easily.

The Tatsunami's been hit,

Sea Bat's on the loose.

Where's Mr. Unabara?

Okay.

Probably in his usual place.

Understood, sir.

Wataru.

Honestly, this is hard for me.

Prime Minister.

I know

how I'm perceived by the public.

Diplomatically weak,

just a stopgap until the next guy.

Simpleminded.

I won't deny any of it.

I know I'm just a figurehead.

It's not that great politicians

make excellent decisions.

They're great only after making

an excellent decision.

Wataru

What matters is how we act from now.

The Cabinet

is like the crew of a submarine.

A submarine?

When we sink, we sink together.

Excuse me, sir.

Everyone is waiting for you.

How's Wataru?

What do you think of him as a politician?

He is an admirable man

with a flexible mindset.

He's a greenhorn.

He's swayed by short-term concerns

and lacks the ability to see things

from a broader perspective.

But, he's willing to listen

to people's opinions.

With genuine sincerity.

The sun is setting.

It takes force to defend a country.

No matter how much you talk about ideals,

once you get shot at,

those go out the window.

Our citizens believe that

we'll never be hit by missiles.

They can live peacefully only because

politicians

are working hard to protect the country.

I agree with you, sir.

PHILIPPINE WATERS

All right.

I see no serious injuries,

but you should get it checked

when we're back on land.

Okay, thank you.

Here.

Keep it cool.

-Hey.

-Thanks for the help.

All those good looks going to waste.

What are you here for?

Here you go.

Thanks.

Where's Hashitani?

Maybe the bathroom again.

Right.

-I'll go check.

-Okay.

Hull patching

in the engine room completed.

Great. Let's chase down the Sea Bat.

What's the course?

Molucca Strait?

That's a ship graveyard

from the Pacific w*r.

Sonar would be useless

due to all the soundwaves.

Many underwater volcanoes, too.

It's a perfect place

for a submarine battle.

Is the Sea Bat planning

to engage the 7th Fleet?

There must be some underlying intention.

What can one nuclear sub achieve?

We must consider measures

to stabilize Japan-US relations.

We need to capture the Sea Bat

before the US.

Fighting the 7th Fleet

with one nuclear sub

They won't stand a chance.

But if we don't step out

of America's shadow,

our project will have been for nothing!

Selecting Kaieda was the mistake.

We need to reevaluate

and approach this anew.

Mr. Kageyama, Ms. Sonezaki.

Setting aside the US,

we need to consider what Japan should do.

Our course is not yet set.

The direction we should head in is clear.

We need the power

to defend our country ourselves.

That's what Project Sea Bat was for.

The tides are already turning.

We need to set aside our positions

and think flexibly.

With everyone facing different ways,

the ship won't move.

The crew of the Sea Bat is united.

But they're t*rrorists.

Still, they're Japanese.

They call themselves Yamato.

They could be acting out of concern

for the country.

What if we were to defend them?

Are you suggesting sending the SDF

to protect the Sea Bat?

Well, it's just a suggestion.

That could lead to w*r with the US!

The Tatsunami has already been attacked.

Prime Minister.

-It's from the US.

-Thanks.

What?

It's a summit request

from the US President.

A submarine is approaching.

We'll counterattack.

Two torpedoes. Range 3,500.

Yamanaka, what is battle?

Sir,

it's the use of force to compel the enemy

to execute our will.

Commence battle.
