ファイアーボーイズ ~め組の大吾~ | FIRE BOYS – Megumi no Daigo Episode 8 [English subtitled]

Connect the hoses! Get those hoses connected! Hoses, now! Understood! – Understood! Dumb ass, aim the hose upward! You’re leaning too much! In front! Spray! – Yes! Continue spraying! – Understood! Alright! Almost there, don’t let up! Camera, shoot from there! – Yes! Man, great hose footage, I must say! Our job concerns human lives, so I always say we must be serious even in training, yes! Jerk, why are you holding a hose? Trying to get your face on TV? Shut up, don’t block me, my face won’t be visible! I can’t aim with you in front! – Shut up! Unreal! – Step back! Can’t aim that way! – Step back. Oy! – Photogenic. Such a pretty woman. "The Only Female Fireman, An Interview. " As our star, she’ll be famous. Alright, stop hoses! Excuse me, can she spray for a bit? If our star doesn’t spray… No. Female firemen aren’t allowed to work the pump hoses. Females can’t carry loads over 30 kg. This is rule set by labor fiduciary laws. A Pump Operator’s (PO) accessories weigh 20 kg. alone. Besides that weight, they also need to carry patients. Then her title is…? Driver. Her job is driving, and controlling the hose pump water pressure. That’s it?! What about it? You’re satisfied with just that? I’m satisfied… that someday as a pump operator, I’ll work hard. But difficult. "Driver" isn’t interesting. What’re they doing, it’s disturbing. But it’s okay. Everyone seems happy. Okay, then we’ll start right there. Want to see magic that controls fire? Good grief, our job is hardly a bunch of desk jockeys. Right, Ueki-san? Our duty is to protect citizens and their property. OH MY! Catch my face? Frustrating, frustrating! Chief, wait, please! I’m sorry for disturbing you. Being bothered morning ‘til night, about work would be fine, but they ask me about boyfriends and sexual harassment. Don’t answer anything you don’t want to. Just entertain them. I want to focus on my job. And, why me? – Hey, Mahiru-chan, it’s because you’re so great. Right? Yes. You’re representing all female firemen. That’s so honorable, right? Let all of citizens know that our job is important. But…! HQ ordered it for publicity. Two days left, please be patient. – Emergency alert. Place: Akebono Boshi, section 20; Go! – Yes! Alright, let’s go! – Yes! Keep up! – Prepare for immediate spray! The source?! Uh… that’s… forgot the boiler water, caused a fire. I called 119 immediately. Neighbors had fire extinguisher, helped me, so… I’m very sorry. Very sorry. Very sorry. What, a teeny fire? That’s not good TV. – Hey, you! Be serious, please! What do you think firemen do?! Big or teeny doesn’t matter. From a teeny fire, a huge tragedy could occur. Granddad, raise up, please. For the fast 119 call, thank you. So, let’s go? – Wait, you! You! We’re not playing around here. Go back, please. Are you alright? Truly… I’m very sorry. – Don’t fret, please! It wasn’t a big fire, that’s so good. Actually, last year my wife passed away. Until then, my wife had handled all these things. Just me, I know nothing. I understand. My grandfather also lived alone. Right! If you’re worried, store up water as backup. Huh? – For example… uh, a water bucket! If something happens, you can douse it immediately, right? Also a… vase or a tub. Come, let’s check around. And also… Super Mahiru! – How fancy, a female fireman! – Females are useful firemen? – Mahiru-san! It’s common, forget it. Forget it, forget it. Well… when I become a pump operator, this will have proven my strength. Is that right? Mahiru-chan rejected the TV interview, huh? Well, a woman was chosen just to lift the fireman image. And they said drivers weren’t interesting! But, thinking about it, saying women can’t be firemen is too outdated. I don’t agree. Huh? Certainly Mahiru is strong and a great worker. But realistically, can you say that having a female PO wouldn’t be disruptive? Yeah, but that… – I can! Mahiru-chan, you know, wants to be a PO, and works hard towards it. Saying something like that… – Yes, but, women’s "power" ability is less than men’s. Hey, a captain saying… – I also admit she works very hard. But… are you guys… wanting to team with her? Wanting to put your lives in her hands? Can she carry a 60 kg. rescue patient during a crisis? For a woman, can you not worry? "Will her face get burned?" "Can’t worry;" "Gotta focus. " At fire sites… sometimes strength decides life or death. And also, her stamina is a real disadvantage, you can’t deny it. Well… can’t enter the fires, can’t be a fireman, right? Hey, what’re you doing?! Don’t bother me! Hey, what are you doing? – Captain. I’m self-training. Please don’t bother me. You can’t, it’s impossible. I don’t accept that. I… can do the same training as everyone else. I can move weight like this. Why are you competing with men? You should be competing with your tasks as driver, and that’s all. If you have free time, you should use it as a driver, memorizing hydrant locations, mastering information of a related subject. Hey! Wait! I’d just be a "disruption," right? No, I… – Nevermind. Everyone’s honesty was good. I’ve been presumptuous, thinking I’d be able to join. No, but… you’re a great driver, so aim for senior… – Also not allowed! Please don’t pity me. Mahiru-san? I see. So that’s what happened. Mahiru-san, back in high school, lost her grandfather in an earthquake. Huh? They lived in Kobe in separate residences, but always worrying about her, he would send her various protection amulets. "Are you healthy?" "Do you have a cold?" But… she had no way to protect her grandfather. That day, she rushed back to his island, but he was buried under his crumbled house. And not… a single pole was she allowed to pick up. Hence, "pump operator. " But… that’s men-only, right? I guess she can’t get what she wants, and feels like giving up sometimes. Huh? She looks strong, but she’s always troubled about something. [Episode 8] Well, while frying, suddenly caught fire. After you called 119, you used a fire extinguisher by yourself? Yes. Again, I’ve disturbed everyone, truly sorry. But not trying to extinguish it with water was good. I’ve… heard that water on grease fires is a problem. First, use an extinguisher, then leave the site. You did well. But, having female firemen, that’s great. Nothing, nothing. With you here, I feel truly comfortable. Granddad. "Weird?" – Well, said he was frying, but no food evidence. The wall also has traces of oil. But, I’m so pleased, granddad. From now on, please be careful, okay? Um… got a minute? – Hmm? Well… women… truly can’t become pump operators? Their strength is less than a man’s but, but she has great judgment, so if I could find a way to bridge the gap… You… if she finds someone to love, gets pregnant without realizing it, and heavy lifting causes a miscarriage, what could you do? If the toxic gases and smoke damage the baby, what then? The laws banning women… are to protect the mothers. "Protect the mothers?" – Yes. We must also take responsibility for the life that could be growing inside their bodies. Then the granddad has a son? – Seems like it. I heard that after a fight with the daughter-in-law, they then became estranged. Must be a lonely old man. Oh! That’s right, brother. Sunday is a soccer game. Teacher Shizuoka wanted me to ask you, can you help out? "Sorry you had to wait. " I can’t do it Sunday. Got an appointment. Unnatural! Usually, you’d definitely agree. Whatever, go, you’ll be late. Weirdo. I’m going. – Take your time. Back home? Mahiru-san, lately she’s been calling back home a lot. Her mom seems to want her to come back home, so… Well… but she could go anytime, visit her. Later, she’ll be telling us to cut potatoes or clean up. That’d be fine. Daigo-kun! Hello. Hey, you, Sunday’s game, you can’t come? Right. Oh, yes, yes. I saw you before, in your boyfriend’s car. Yeah, he’s so good-looking, you did great. Yikes, we’re still just getting to know each other. But… somehow, you two are good together, right? Huh? – Huh? Workplace love. Nice! Uh, it’s… During yesterday’s shift, the granddad had another fire. Calling 119, he said, his garden leaves accidentally caught fire. When the firemen arrived, it’d already been extinguished. That so. Chief said, it could be your kindness that makes him happy, so he deliberately calls us. Not a kid crying wolf, an old man crying wolf. That’s not possible… – The granddad told his neighbor that you look like his granddaughter. "Making another fire, will she come? With you, he might not understand that you’re a fireman. That means… women, no matter what, will always "just be women," right? No, that’s… What is this? As you can see… it’s my resignation. Women firemen have limits, I fully understand that now. To the granddad, I will explain it to him. I’ll ask him not to do it again. So for now… this. I see. Thank you for everything! Oh, yes, yes, you still have vacation days, right? Before you resign, use them first; labor fiduciary laws are so annoying. Granddad suddenly came to see you… Um, at yesterday’s fire, you didn’t come. How are you, I was worried. If you deliberately set fires, even at your own house, you’re a criminal. If you ever do it again, we’ll report you to the police. That is, what she meant is… My treating you nicely was because I am a fireman. I… am not part of your family. And also… even as a fireman, I can no longer talk to you. Huh? I just tendered my resignation. Mahiru?! Excuse me. You resigned because of me?! I… Granddad, my parents were also estranged from my grandfather. The reasons were trivial. Even I had said that if he moved out, we’d feel better. But then he died in a earthquake. My parents and I were so regretful. "Why didn’t we visit him more?" "Why couldn’t we have stayed together?" No child truly hates his parents. Granddad, what you need to do is be brave, and forgive your son. Granddad’s family… is his son. Wait… don’t be so impulsive. Hey… the resignation isn’t true, right? Hey! You know… I had a boyfriend, right? Noticing my training muscles, he said to me… "I like WOMEN. " Too embarrassing. So, I don’t want muscles anymore. I don’t! Mahiru… [Cooking School] Where’s she going? Somehow, they’re all so stylish. Hey… could that be… A group date? Mahiru-san… you hate group dates, you’ve said it yourself. Let’s go. – What will you do? You won’t talk to her? Daigo-kun! What’s with you?! You just came back without doing anything?! Yes. – "Yes?" You… Mahiru resigns, and I don’t hear?! Wanted to keep it low-key. Even so, what about the group date?! Why didn’t you stop her?! She’ll become a free agent. If someone takes her home, what can I do?! Even if you won’t talk to Mahiru-chan, I will. Stop. Resigning or not, it’s not our decision, right? What are you talking about? What she wants, we don’t know. You’re joking. Mahiru-chan wants… to be a PO, fights for it. Always studying in private, learning how to hold the hose. I’d call out to her, she wouldn’t even notice. So I… I want to fight for her. So no… Amakasu-kun. People who come along later, like you, they won’t understand her. I’ve been taking care of her for a long time now! I know what she wants…! – She looked happy! Her face has never looked like that here. How to put it…? Lovely or something. Yeah… she was… clearly a woman. Her cooking is getting good, she’s kind, has a cute face… How to put it? Also, can dress stylish, get herself a boyfriend. If that’s the life she wants, why can’t she have it? No… I… Thank you very much. – No need. Was it delicious? – Delicious! Next time, I’ll take you to a better restaurant. Really? – Yeah. What’re you doing? Why move the bikes? Old habit. Let’s go. You okay? – Uh… yeah. Is she stupid? It’s a date. Here. – Thanks. Oh… this isn’t good. – Huh? Haven’t I repeatedly told them to fix this? What? Occupational illness. Hey, what’re you doing there? No, uh, it’s… Daigo? Yo…! – What…? – It’s over there. – Hey, what’s going on? – Something’s happening, a fire. – There’s a fire! Gotta go. Daigo! What’s wrong? – Hey, Kuja, fire! Well, let’s go. I… I… Sorry! Hey… I’m very sorry! Mahiru. Sorry! Granddad…! – Old man, you okay? – You okay? Where’s the old man?! – "Old man?" He seemed to go over there. – Have you called 119? Anyone call? – Fire Department, anyone call?! You called, right? – No, I thought someone else would. Fire! Akebono Boshi, section 20. A structural house fire. Gas and electric need to be cut. Please! – Yes! Thank you. Excuse me, I’m with Megumi. Where’s your pump engine? I’m going for it now. – I’ll help you. Appreciate it! – Excuse me! Anyone seen the old man who lives here? Where’d he go, anyone see? – Maybe there, over there… – Terrible! Granddad’s inside. – What, what do you mean? "Grandma is inside," he said, and ran in. "Grandma?!" – I think, she died long ago, right? – Old man! – No way. – Hurry, save him! – Hurry! – No firemen yet? 3 min. 20 sec. Soon… they’ll be here soon. They’ll be past Daitochi Drive, left… onto Namik Road. No, tonight at 7PM, construction begins. Sakada Road, instead. 1… 2… 3… Can’t hear sirens. What’re are you doing, Takaima?! Didn’t you research tonight’s road conditions?! Sorry! – Fire engine coming, everyone, please move aside. – I’ll direct them. Alright, hurry. – Granddad! "Right! If you’re worried, store up water as backup. " If something happens, you can douse it immediately, right? "But, having female firemen, that’s great. " With you here, I feel truly comfortable. – Still no firemen?! A fireman is here. Please lend me! – What? What are you planning?! – Too dangerous! Protect him! What’re you doing?! Wait, Mahiru! What’s going on?! – Granddad went in for grandma. Alright, into the opening. Keep driving forward. – A citizen has reported that – 2 firemen have gone inside for rescue purposes. – One of them is female. Wait, seriously?! – Danger, danger, danger…! Hey, more water! Please move aside! The victim and firemen? Still inside! Prepare the hoses! Get those hoses out fast! Captain… we can’t enter. Listen, once we find an opening, enter and begin immediate rescue! Please let me enter, please! Prepare to spray! – Let me go in, please! Idiot, you wanna die?! – But…! Believe in that guy’s instincts! – Alright, same target, ready hoses! Make us a hole! – Yes! Damn it… you die before I reach you, I’ll never forgive you! – Make the hole! Daigo-kun… Mahiru-san… We did it! – Entering! Daigo, Mahiru-chan! Two injured people, contact HQ. Are you alright? All that smoke, how did he…? Neutral area? Huh? When the smoke’s high air humidity collides with the low air humidity, breathable air pockets can form. You are something else. Grandma? Grandma? Grandma… I got her. Here. Grandma! Thank you. Thank you! But, how’d you know he wanted that? My grandma… also likes talking… to spirits. Man, I swear, you are surprising. Alright! In that case, increase the pressure! On Megumi’s pride, don’t let even one shingle fall! Yes! Granddad didn’t deliberately set the fire. Huh? After your advice, he started a letter to his son. Accidentally forgot about his boiling kettle, though. He hopes you’ll believe him, he said. I… – Hmm? truly was terrified. The moment I got into that fire, my legs started shaking. I couldn’t even walk. This girl… had turned… to stone. "Granddad might be too heavy for me. " "What if I can’t?" "This is how I’ll die. " But at that instant, Daigo-kun arrived. "no… they’re all here helping me, so… " "I… " "guess I can’t give up yet. " "Pump Operator" isn’t necessary. "Hard-working Driver" will be fine. Because, without people, people can’t be saved. And also, you all can’t get to the fires without me. Chief, I apologize for my actions! Though I might be too late in asking this, please let me withdraw my resignation letter. Punishment for breaking the rules, entering a fire, I’ll accept. But I really want… to stay at Megumi! Chief. I’m asking you, too. Yes, she broke the rules, but it was an emergency situation. You guys… aren’t you somewhat confused? Unlike during work hours, you were free to do whatever. Get on home, long tomorrow ahead. Um, my resignation? – Huh? Oh… I seem to have lost it. Chief. From Jun-kun I heard… about your resignation. Welcome back. Welcome back. Welcome back. Guys. I don’t plan to take back what I said, though. To be a fireman, you’re 10 years too early. "This is… where I realize" "Megumi without any of them, wouldn’t be "My Team. " I swear, you’re alive again? I say, gifted with good luck, no, it could be "cursed," right? Huh? I don’t get it. "But" "that idea’s security," "its hopes," "very soon" "would be broken. " "After this glowing moment," "one member brutally broke when he fell. "

A young boy by the name of Asahina Daigo was once rescued by a fireman. Ever since then, he has wanted to become a firefighter like the hero who saved him from the flames. Now he’s all grown-up and has recently received his credentials as a firefighter. However, the firefighting brigade he is assigned to is the so-called “Me-Gumi,” the nickname of the Medakagaoka Fire Brigade, which at first glance seems to have absolutely no fighting spirit whatsoever. In reality, this is the home of a group of seasoned professionals led by that legendary firefighter Commander Gomi. They’re active on the front lines, constantly putting their lives at risk. The innocent Daigo, burning with a sense of justice and of mission, battles together with his “Me-Gumi” compatriots, suffering, laughing and crying together with them as he develops into a topflight firefighter in this moving human drama. –Fuji Creative
