The most wonderful dream in the world...
The pounding beat speeds up.
The eyes are prisms that catch the wind...
... and in the voices of countless friends...
... I feel happiness.
FILE. 2 TOKYO TYPHOON RALLY
Oh, man, I've had it. It's been like this every week this year.
Nothing we can do about it. We're up against Mother Nature, after all.
Oooh! This summer I was sure I was gonna lose a little more weight...
...take on a 1-kg parfait, heft the Sumida Festival palanquin...
...and at the night stalls, buy apple candy and fried octopus balls in seaweed...
...and baked corn and fresh radish pickles...
...and go goldfish-catching and balloon dart-throwing and target shooting...
...and shelltops... and then, uh, brown sugar candy, oh, hey!
Okay, okay. We're moving.
Aw, there's no point to anything now...
Hmh? Miyuki, pull over to the left.
Huh? Okay...
Students of Wakaba Preschool, please go straight home immediately.
Don't go anywhere else. There's a scary typhoon on the way.
Wow! It's Natsumi! It's Miyuki!
Hey!
What's with this "Natsumi" stuff? That's "Miss Natsumi" to you!
Well, your name is Natsumi, right?
Ri-ight?
It's enough for us to call you Natsumi, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Hey, hey, Miyuki, do you know where there's an animal hospital?
Huh? A vet? I'm not sure if there is one in this area...
You don't even know that?
Some policewoman you are.
"...Preschool"
Huh? Isn't that Chibi? You sure got big.
Do you know this cat, Natsumi?
Hey, how do you know? Huh?
There is nothing that Natsumi the hero doesn't know. Are you impressed?
You can't fool us with that.
Don't belittle the masses!
What's going on? Are you keeping her, Maho?
Uh-uh. She came to the preschool a little while ago.
She's not feeling well. She doesn't eat anything.
So that's why you wanted to take her to the hospital, huh?
Uh-huh.
I get it now.
Oh, it's Ken!
Kennie's here! Kennie's here! Kennie's on his motorcycle!
Kennie! Kennie! Kennie!
Oh, so Nakajima is "Kennie" around here?
Sort of...
What's this? She's awfully fat...
Stop that! You've got to hold her properly.
Oh, uh, I see...
All right, we'll see that she's taken care of.
Will she be okay?
We'll take care of it. We promise. So you all hurry home. Go on!
Look out!
Hey! Where'd you learn to drive?! Don't mess around like that, you idiot!
Natsumi's scary!
That Lancia... it's got to be!
Umm... Nakajima...
I'm now going to catch that ill-mannered car!
So take care, everyone!
Oh, he fell over!
That GSX...
I see, I see. I knew it all the time, uh-huh, uh-huh.
Oh, cut it out, Natsumi. You're just jeering at us both.
You're no better than those preschoolers.
Thanks to whom, we blew our chance to catch that Lancia!
Well, well, nice change of subject. Won't work on me, though.
Natsumi!
Welcome back!
You're done for the day, right?
Yeah. We've done our nightshift.
Hey, hey, Nakajima's looking a little funny.
You know anything about it?
Oh! Not you too, Yoriko!
Something DID happen, didn't it!
It sure did!
I guess this will do for now.
But you know, Nakajima didn't look at all happy.
He just went and locked himself in the morgue.
I bet he was just blushing.
Oh!
Are you gonna have kittens?
Eh?!
Oh, yeah! Her breasts are big!
That's why she's so listless!
So that's it!
Kobayakawa!
I need to ask you something. Please come!
Uh... Okay.
Hey, hey, "something to ask" must be!
A proposal. It's got to be!
Who'd have thought they'd have gotten that close!
It's a big scoop.
We're tagging along, right?
Oh, let's.
All right!
The rain's pouring down so loud, I can't hear what they're talking about at all.
Who cares what they're talking about? It's actions that matter!
Go! Go get 'er, Nakajima!
You're the only one I can ask this of. I beg you!
For something like that, I'll gladly assist you.
And besides, there are a couple others who look like they'll help... right?
Natsumi! Bring that toolbox!
Uh, right!
Yoriko! There's an auxiliary flashing light and radio! Bring them here!
Uh, right!
Natsumi, I need a speaker too!
Huh? Where is it? Natsumi, I need a speaker too!
Huh? Where is it?
On the highest shelf in the back!
Okay, here you go. On the highest shelf in the back!
Okay, here you go.
Now get me some grease.
Uh, right, right! Now get me some grease.
I'm pooped.
Hey!
Eh?
Thanks.
Thanks for doing this all for me...
Uh-uh, no problem. I can't do anything useful anyway...
But I'm a little disappointed, you know?
So this is what your request turned out to be? Oh, and we were sure...
Huh? What did you think it was?
Eh? Uh, well, um... Never mind that.
Are you really going to go out there using a..."KLE," was it...
...as a police motorcycle?
Even you wouldn't stand a chance in the middle of a typhoon like this.
I know it's risky. I have my reasons...
What condition are the victims in?
I don't know, but the ambulance should already be on its way.
Tell Nakajima that the bike's finished.
And see that the cat gets fed.
Cat food and water, right?
I used to enjoy typhoons, you know?
Now we can't just enjoy them, can we?
Mini Patrol Four calling Bokuto Station! How long before the ambulance arrives?
Well... the roads are badly flooded, and it seems to be taking a detour.
Looks like it'll take another ten minutes or so.
Roger! We'll figure something out! Miyuki!
I know!
It's gonna be all right now. Natsumi! Hurry!
It's locked! Hang on a sec!
Wha?!
Now that it's come to this...
...we can only exercise brute force!
Here we go...
DIAMOND KNUCKLE ATTACK!
I'm through.
Oh wow!
The watermelons are all taken care of.
Nice going. Here.
Thanks.
So what was the cause?
Well, you see...
A Lancia Delta? Then the one this afternoon?
Probably... in which case, it's just as Nakajima feared...
Eh? What does "Kennie" have to do with it? Ow...
It seems it appears every year at this time, only on days with typhoons...
...a legendary car that runs through town like it owned the place.
Then, you mean, a year ago?
Yes... through some happenstance...
...Nakajima met up with and challenged it.
And he lost, huh?
The bike was a serious handicap! He was up against four-wheel drive.
And it was outfitted for rallying. Not even Nakajima could beat that!
So that's why he wanted the KLE 500 with foul-weather outfitting.
That's Nakajima for you; he doesn't like to lose, does he?
It's not just that. The Lancia's reckless driving escalates each year.
Fact is, it didn't cause any accidents up until last year.
If left alone at the rate it's going, next we'll have...
Yes, this is Mini Patrol Four. Go ahead.
Natsumi, Miyuki, I don't know what to do. Hurry back here!
It won't eat, it makes weird high-pitched cries... It just won't settle down!
Aren't its kittens about to be born?
If so, it wouldn't be crying.
Besides, it looks like it's in a lot of pain.
I thought of calling a veterinarian, but there's all the wind and rain...
We can't very well wait for the typhoon to pass. Natsumi! Get things ready!
All right! Leave it to me!
Where? Say again!
Saitoo Animal Hospital, 7-4 Morishita-cho, Sumida-ku.
They stop examining patients at five, but they said they'd have a look.
Roger.
Animal hospital? What are those two up to?
This is Bokuto Station. Go ahead.
Yoriko? What are Kobayakawa and Tsujimoto doing?
Oh, Nakajima, you see...
Blackout!
People will start mobbing the phone lines. Get someone on it!
The circuit's holding!
Hey! Yoriko!
Looks like a breech birth. On top of which, her pelvis seems narrow.
Well, what do we do?
I'm sorry, but with things the way they are right now...
Not much you can do in a blackout, is there?
Let me see if I can contact the Veterinarians' Association.
I think there'll be a place somewhere that will take her in.
Please!
We didn't hear anything about a blackout. Tell us these things ahead of time!
Sorry. But things were all messed up here, too. They still are, though...
Where was that hospital the vet referred us to?
Ayase, in Adachi-ku. We can work it out if we get to the Kosuge Interchange.
Oh, Capital Expressway Six is closed due to construction!
Why you! You should tell us things like that beforehand!
Aww, it happened three days ago!
If it's closed, that means no one's driving on it... right?
Is... that so?!
Mini Patrol Four is now en route to Ayase. We will be taking Capital Expressway Six!
What! Are you serious? That's...
Over and out! So long!
"ENTRANCE"
"NO TRESPASSING" "Bokuto Police Station"
The wind's really hellacious!
Feels like we're gonna get swept away!
Driving in this rain and crosswind is a life-threatening proposition.
If you're getting out, do it now.
Looking to get it all to yourself? That's not fair.
This is where the fun begins.
Roger!
We're almost there. Hang on!
What's this?
What do you mean?
I thought it was a little bit strange, to see such a gentle expression on your face.
What're you talking about?
It's much stranger for you to be doing something this outrageous!
That makes us even, huh?
What is it?
There's a car behind us!
No way! Huh!
What the?! It's that Lancia Delta!
I know!
Of all the times it could pick to show up!
He's not likely to let us go by quietly, is he?
He's out of his mind! Miyuki, blow him away with the nitro!
That's impossible in these conditions!
It's too dangerous with this wind and this poor visibility!
Besides...
Oh, yeah. There's no telling whether Chibi could take it.
Miyuki! Get off at Tsutsumi Avenue!
Huh?
Let the Lancia Delta pass us by.
At this rate, he'll mess you up, Miyuki!
Even if he follows us, we'll have the edge down below. We'll figure something out.
You're right.
He's got us figured! He's not going to let us off!
Goddamn!
He's a little better than I am.
Miyuki...
What do we do?
Mini Patrol Four, do you read me?
Nakajima?!
Where are you, Nakajima?!
Right in front of you.
Yoriko filled me in.
You're carrying a patient, so you must be having a hard time fighting him.
I'll back you up.
Kennie! You're so cool!
Stop that.
I'm the one who's taking you on! Come and get me!
Kobayakawa! It's only 5 km to Kosuge!
Get into his slipstream and follow us! His car should act as a windbreak!
Will you be all right, Nakajima? Bikes are the most dangerous in this weather!
I put my faith in this bike you tuned, Kobayakawa.
Oh, man! We've already reached the Kosuge offramp!
Hey, hey, Miyuki, you've fallen for "Kennie" all over again, I bet.
Look, I told you to stop referring to him like that.
Well, how about Kenbo? Ken-Ken? Kensuke? The Kenster?
"Kennie" really is best, don't you think?
Oh! It's from "Kennie!"
This is where we part for now.
I'll join you after I take care of this clown.
Take care of that chubby Chibi.
I wonder if he can win out.
Sure he can! He will! Kennie can if anyone can!
Natsumi! You keep saying, "Kennie, Kennie," and now I'm doing it, too...
What's wrong with that? You're gonna be calling him that sooner or later!
How can you say that! Don't decide such things by yourself!
Whatever! Keep your eyes on the road!
Don't try to evade the subject!
We're gonna crash!
I repeat...
...the Joban Line is currently halted within the Tokyo city limits.
It is unclear when service will be reestablished.
Right at the next corner. Then left about 300m after that!
Roger!
Hang in there! It's just a little longer!
You bastard!
Ah-ah!
I'm not like I was last year!
We can't get through here! Where's a detour?
Hold on... Back up and go left on that last road... no good! Neither is going right!
Which way?
Mmm... there is no way.
Eh?! It can't be! Mmm... there is no way.
With this much water, it's all the same no matter which way you go!
Getting around this will mean going way out of our way.
Which means we only have one option left... Natsumi, you're on!
I had a feeling it would come to this.
All set. Natsumi, this is the final hurdle.
No problem. My bike technique can stand up to this typhoon!
Yeah!
Go!
I've got something to say to you. Listen up!
When driving near children, maintain a safe distance...
...and furthermore, go slowly! Remember that.
"Animal Hospital"
"This is a present for good children. Pick it up gently."
"Miss Natsumi, Miss Miyuki, Thank You"
I love the smile you always have. With all the passion I have...
... I will protect you from sighs.
The sunset skyline flashes past in my side-view mirror.
This is the road I drive on every day, believing in my dreams.
On rainy days, windy days, and days when I wanted to throw it all away...
... you smiled as you sat beside me.
I love the unchanging vista, the sky that we watch together.
That's why I'm confident that I can hang in there, if it's for you.
I love the smile you always have. With all the passion I have...
... I will protect you from sighs.
I love this town where we happened to meet...
Honestly, those kids... Miyuki, this isn't coming off!
Look, just put some elbow grease into it.
We'll clean her up even if it takes all day.
Eek! No way!
"THE TRUTH BEHIND THE RUMORS"
Why are you having a matchmaking, when you have someone like Nakajima?
Want me to tell?
Hey, who are you talking about?
Stop her, Nakajima! You're the only one who can stop Miyuki!
Look, what are you talking about?
Wanna know?
You want her to be taken away by some nobody from nowhere?
How did you come up with a story like that?
Shall I tell you?
So you're the cause of all this!
