Mochizuki, I need backup to proceed.
Dogs can't track in rain.
We'll keep going.
The girl is nearby.
Elf knows.
Look at his eyes.
Look at his eyes, idiotic!
I trust Elf.

You did well. You're not hurt?
Elf, good job!
Other missing child located.
Shoko Yoneda, age 9.
No injuries.
You Okay?
Almost there, see your mom soon.
Police dogs,
with a sense of smell 6,000 times that of humans,
are used to search for lost people and criminal suspects,
"Police Dogs, Types of Dogs" scent detective bureau...
Mom, how well can dogs smell?
6,000 times more than us! Scent police!
You've told me that many times.
As for the incident of the elementary school kids
missing in the mountains,
we're relieved to report that
they were all rescued safely.
It's dad and Elf!
Kyoko, don't watch TV from so near.
Dad and Elf rescued them!
Great.
It's dad!
Welcome home. Kyoko!
I'll be like you when I grow up.
Really?
Really.
Take it.
Welcome home.
Thanks.
Elf worked hard.
Elf, good dog. I'll let you out.
"Bamba Police Dog Training School"
Two tomatoes each.
Don't screech like a girl, idiot!
I am a girl.
Hah, never noticed.
Know what time it is?
After 5:00 AM!
Get up and work, idiot!
Idiot.
Keita, tea!
New trainee since yesterday?
Bet 100 yen she quits.
That's not fair!
Good morning.
Vega, in house.
Kabuto?
Sorry! Sorry to be late!
Hair's a mess.
Same color as Elf,
like 'kinako' soybean flower.
'Kinako' soybean flower?
'Anko' called her 'Kinako'!
'Anko' as bean paste?
My name is read as 'Kyoko', not 'Anko'.
'Bean Paste' and 'Bean Flower'!
Will this pup become a police dog?
No way, she's not healthy enough.
She won't eat.
Vet said she's too weak for our tough training.
Is that so?
We're looking for someone to take her,
but haven't found anyone.
The rest sold, but nobody wants her.
Quit loafing around!
Done doing the dogs?
Doing the dogs?
Put out the dog, dump poop, clean up!
Do the dogs.
And change their newspapers.
Next, feed the dogs!
And after that...
Look.
"Summary of Trainee Duties"
Read it.
Throw out trash,
wash scent test cloths,
clean office...
Then various other things,
and do the dogs.
Sleep at midnight!
All right! I've taught you everything I intend to teach.
Done.
Done! What about how to train?
And which dog will I train...
First, get used to dog poop.
Here.
First, get used to dog poop.
Poop!
Tastes great.
I made it.
I want to be a chef.
You will be. It's amazingly good!
I'd like some more.
Sure.
Do half the work of others,
but eat twice as much.
So, Mochizuki, how about the dog poop?
Don't talk about that now.
You have to eat to get well.
Look, it's tasty.
Come on...
Eat.
Come on, eat.
"POLICE DOG DREAM"
Mochizuki, how's the dog poop today?
Don't ask that every morning.
Wataru, how about it?
Everything normal, but Jack's dehydrated.
I'll make sure he drinks water.
You guys eat up, make great poop, and go to school.
Poop is important!
Stop that, Bamba!
You're ruining breakfast.
Push hard! Push hard and dump it!
Push hard.
Push harder.
Did it!
Look!
But I don't know if it's good or bad poop.
Let me see.
Listen, check the color daily when it drops.
Brown or yellowish, good.
Red or black may be bloody, bad.
Next, the shape.
Lotta, girls have to make sure they look good.
Oh, missing a button.
Shall I sew one on?
A button.
Nina, that's great. Such a cute button.
There, it's done.
I'm not a kid, you know. Embarrassing.
Should have asked mom.
Sorry, Kyoko.
It's fine.
As you see, I'm just too busy.
She must feel lonely.
It's enjoyable for me.
I'm an only child,
she's like a little sister.
Very cheeky little sister.
She's very weak.
Should we give up?
Probably.
Kinako, sausage!
We used to have a dog at home named Elf.
A Labrador, like you,
and the same color.
Elf was also weak when he was a pup,
but became a police dog when he grew up.
He was the best in Japan and awarded many times.
You'll be fine too, Kinako.
Get well and you can go outside
and have lots of fun.
We'll take walks,
and PW:
and you'll run all over the place.
So you have to get well.
Get well and we'll play together.
Where's Kinako?
I'd almost given up.
Now we can find her an owner.
We only keep police dog trainees here.
Make her a police dog!
Who'll do that?
I can.
I can make Kinako into one.
Must be half asleep to say that!
Kyoko, a police dog
needs to have a certain character.
"Kinako"
You're in, Kinako!
Eat a lot and get stronger.
Look Kinako, outdoors.
Let's play a lot.
Kinako, we're almost there.
The town I lived in.
Kinako, this is it,
the place my dad used as a training ground.
While watching Dad and Elf here,
I knew I'd become a trainer.
You're not listening to me!
Here...
Here.
Kinako...
Here, Kinako.
"Mochizuki"
I made a promise to Dad.
Promise?
You don't know how hard it was for him.
No matter what,
I want to train police dogs.
Give me your key.
Don't think you
can run back here when it gets tough.
Mom, I'm sorry.
Kinako, we'll try hard.
Try really hard.
Good.
Hey, out of my way!
Slop!
Enough, Kinako.
You drive me crazy.
Stop, Kinako!
Nothing but trouble! I've had enough.
Okay.
Come.
Always do this.
Search.
Search...
Good...
Kinako.
Hey.
Hey!
When will you let me train Kinako?
You don't have time!
Don't have time!
I'm hereto become a trainer.
Don't nag me!
You want to train so much,
why not just go and do it?
Now get to work!
Why not just go and do it!
I can't do it with so much work!
You really cleaned up.
Since I started here,
the lack of sleep and no days off
made lots of people quit.
But you don't give up.
I just...
I want to be as good as you are.
You'll be graduating after one year.
Even after graduation,
apprenticeship takes time.
Doing odd jobs
and training alone is tougher than this.
Why not just go and do it!
Said that to you, right?
That's it!
200g for Kabuto.
Good morning.
Morning.
Training begins!
Work hard and be the best in Japan, like Elf.
Let's start.
Walk on my left.
Hey, don't just take off!
Stop, Kinako.
Kinako...
More playing than training.
Kinako.
Idiot. Kinako...
Kinako...
How about mackerel in rice?
Good idea.
Or that meat and tofu again.
True.
Also.
Wataru, a box came from your home.
Udon noodles again.
Wish dad wouldn't send our shop noodles.
He wants you to eat them.
Your dad encourages you the most.
"Tashiro Udon"
I knew it.
Here.
Thank you.
Kyoko, Tashiro Udon created their own unique taste.
Really?
I feel inspired!
Oh no! Inspired cooking again.
Regular is fine...
Yeah, regular noodles.
Boring.
How about cream sauce udon?
Cream sauce udon?
"Spring. Second Year"
Mr. Sakuraba!
It's been so long!
How have you been?
Good.
I was getting worried.
Afraid you hated me for introducing you to this place.
See you later.
Gives me a headache.
Lost money again?
You shouldn't worry Utako.
Don't nag me!
Been 10 years already.
Jack, go.
Kinako, let's go.
Okay.
Jack, go.
Okay, Kinako.
Won't be easy.
Thanks for tea.
Okay, Kinako.
Go and bring the one
that smells like this.
Search!
The sample stand, over there!
Concentrate...
Found it!
Kinako.
It's ready.
Kinako, you want some?
She has a good sense of smell.
Smells tasty.
Freshly made.
You think you'll get some?
Bamba Police Dog Training School.
Yes.
All right!
Official search request!
Get in.
Sandy!
Ricky!
See that, Kinako!
They're heading out.
After we pass the exam,
we'll head out like that!
Sir!
The missing woman is 70 years old,
family says she has dementia.
A scent sample.
Okay, search quickly!
Right.
I'll check downwind of reservoir road,
you check upwind.
Okay.
Let's get going.
Find! Sandy, find!
Good, that's right.
Search... Good.
Search.
Search...
We're back.
Welcome home.
How'd it go?
No need to ask when Wataru and I search!
Wataru, your mom phoned.
Said to call her.
Sure.
"Training Plan 2008"
Oh, what's there?
I know about it.
Your money hiding place.
What's that mean?
You should tell Wataru soon.
He's the first graduate of the Bamba program.
Give this to congratulate him.
So other trainers stop saying...
you're good with dogs, but not people.
Don't nag me!
Here. Didn't find that one.
Can't get it right!
It'll never improve.
Don't nag me!
I don't want sloppy writing for his big graduation.
I'll write it.
Idiot! It's important that I write it.
Do as you like.
But the stroke order is wrong.
He can't tell if you keep quiet!
How's this?
Not bad.
Be honest.
In house!
Kabuto.
Hey, Wataru isn't...
What happened?
"Thanks for everything over the years."
But why?
Maybe his family situation led to this?
His dad's health was not good last winter.
Their shop was closed for a while.
After he worked so hard...
Wataru dreamed of being a trainer,
which his dad encouraged more than anyone.
But his dad created their
"Tashiro Udon" brand,
and Wataru would never let that fail.
He's such a kind son.
Kyoko, can I come in?
Sure.
Wataru left this in his room.
You should keep it.
"Training Plan 2008"
Kinako?
So much about Kinako?
I'm starting over with something else.
Mochizuki, you can use this if you want.
Almost done.
Kinako, wait till I'm done feeding them.
Kyoko works so hard.
All right, I will too.
You can't sleep, Jack?
A big boy like you shouldn't cry.
You don't need to worry, go to sleep.
I'm almost done!
You'll be in the upcoming training presentation.
Wataru was going to go, you'll go instead.
So will you go or not?
I'll go!
Don't damage our reputation.
Right!
Obedience training.
Obstacle course.

Training presentation!
"Kagawa Police Dog Training Presentation"
We will soon begin.
Presenters please take your entry form,
and come to reception at the East Gate.
Hey, Bamba!
You presenting?
No...
Oh, that young guy?
Actually, he quit...
Another one quit?
I wonder when you'll have
the first graduate from your school?
It'll start soon.
Show your intensive training.
Stop, Kinako!
Kinako! Heel...
Cameraman, get that pair!
Kinako.
Ready.
Go!
Did everyone see that?
Police dogs are thought to be fearless,
agile, and clever.
But that Labrador retriever, Kinako,
was exactly opposite, everyone laughed...
Keita, don't laugh like that.
But a splendid somersault!
Totally clumsy...
Great time to have a nosebleed.
You made me look like a fool.
The test is in two months, work harder.
Hey, you think it's Kinako's fault?
But all the other dogs could do it.
Come outside.
Do a jump.
Okay, Jack.
Now me.
Let's go...
Okay, go!
Good...
You're the one without skill!
Take the test?
You know nothing!
You can't train Kinako!
I'll do it.
I'm in charge of Kinako.
I'll make sure she passes the test in two months.
Only 19 months old.
Kinako? Thanks!

Good...
One more time.
It is now 9:55 PM.
Kyoko and Kinako are still training.
"Udon Shop"
The Tashiro taste changed.
Too limp.
He'll need a lot of practice to match that taste.
Right.
No, try again. Sit.
On the actual police dog scent test at least 3 of the 4
must be correct to pass. Kinako...
That... we're already closed.
Why?
Chilled udon.
Quick, I'm hungry!
You two can leave.
Take the sign down.
All right.
Not so good.
Chilled udon.
Huh?
I want another.
Okay.
Sir!
Congratulations, you graduated.
Cook better next time.
I'll be back.
Sorry to wake you.
What is it? The test is soon.
Yeah.
Careful you don't catch a cold.
I've never had a cold in my life.
They say 'Flu's not for fools'.
Go practice.
Or make a fool of yourself again.
This isn't playing.

Wrong!

Wrong!

Check them one by one.
Smell them!

Sure does.
Maybe she'll pass somehow.
Time to sleep.
Okay, once more.
In house.
Kinako, we'll practice early.
Go to sleep.
Let's do our best.
Now Kinako the clumsy police dog trainee faces her test.
Tension mounts!
Search!
Kinako.
Kinako, sit.
That was wrong, the rest must be correct.
Search!
Thank you.
After all that practice?
Can't you do it like Elf?
Think Elf was a great police dog at the start?
You know about Elf?
Actually, Elf...
Kinako!
Check her poop this morning?
Did she eat?
Did she vomit?
This morning...
How was she?
I don't remember.
I thought only of the test.
What?
Who looked after her?
Who knows her the most?
Isn't that you?
Dogs can't say what hurts or what's wrong!
We have to find out.
That's our job!
What do you think a trainer does?
Go home!
I'll take her to hospital.
What was the cause?
Too much stress and fatigue about her first test.
Here.
Vet said she did well considering her condition.
She should rest for a while.
Yeah.
Why?
Why do you wag your tail?
You collapsed because of me.
Kinako, you're an idiot.
Really an idiot.
Kinako for your campaign?
Yes, that day is still open.
Just glad we can help out.
Okay.
Kinako is a big hit.
Yeah.
Kyoko, you take her.
Thanks for dinner.

Jingle bells, jingle bells. Santa Kinako.
Her floppy ears look so cute.
Jingle bells...
Kinako, I've...
I've wanted to be a police dog trainer since I was a kid.
You got caught up in my dream.
I'm sorry.
If I hadn't wanted to do that,
there'd be no tough training.
It made you exhausted.
Okay, Kinako, let's play!
Okay...
Kinako!
Go, Kinako!
Kinako!
You'll quit?
Kyoko, why?
You've worked so hard.
I...
truly understand myself now.
I really like dogs,
and wanted to help people,
but a dog trainer needs more.
Anyway, I'm...
not good at training.
What are you saying?
I just can't do it.
It's impossible.
What about Kinako?
Find someone else.
Who's someone else?
Didn't you say you'd train her?
I did say that.
But without intending to,
I pushed Kinako so hard she collapsed.
Kinako is not meant for this.
Instead of this tough training,
wouldn't she be happier in a loving home?
Maybe you can't understand.
How it is to struggle at something you can't do.
Some things just can't be done!
Do as you like.
Kyoko, you really want this?
Sorry to be so selfish.
Kyoko.
I won again, that's 11 times.
Nina!
That's 100 yen for me!
Well, goodbye.
Lousy brat.
Sorry.
Kinako.
Kinako...
I have to go.
Thanks for everything.
Sorry.
It's okay.
Please take care of Kinako.
Bye bye, Kinako.
So, you did come running home?
Come in.
Thanks, mom.

Her popularity is not just local, but extends nationwide!
"Kinako Postage Stamp"
Kinako.
Nina, you're missing a button.
Kinako, you're always here.
Is she waiting for Kyoko?
I don't have much interest in cooking since she left.
She said my food tasted great
and always made our place seem cheerful.
Sometimes I wonder how Kyoko is...
Keita.
That's called being in love.
Konpira Festival 2009 is now under way...
Your part-time job?
I quit it..
Quit another one?
You're not going to live off of me.
Just like I told you.
You should've gone to college and gotten a job,
or gotten married, like normal.
What's normal?
Don't underestimate normal.
Our next topic is Kinako, police dog trainee.
She will serve as Chief of Police for one day.
Wearing the Chief sash this morning.
She demonstrated safely crossing the street.

"Dokigawa Police Dog Training School"
Let's drink!
Alcohol for a patient? Idiot!
Don't slap me.
Like when we worked.
Sakuraba always got mad at Bamba's complaining after searching.
Bamba...
please do me a favor.
No money to lend.
Idiot.
Not that, my daughter Kyoko...
wants to become a trainer.
I told her how hard it is,
but she's too stubborn to listen.
So when Kyoko grows up,
if she really wants to do that,
I want you to help her.
What? You can teach...
Bamba.
I'll do it.
I'll train her so hard...
I'll make her into a great trainer like you.
Bamba.
Bamba.
Bamba, are you here?
Bamba.
Where's Bamba?
He left early this morning.
Finally took action?
I see.
Wanted to see him being upset.
Must be disappointed.
See you. Bye.
Tossaka Mountain.
This is it.
We'll cross a mountain. Stay with me.
Let's go.
Kinako.
Why such a miserable face?
Sir!
But why?
This place never changes.
I wanted to be a trainer,
so tried various schools but always got fired.
Kept getting into fights,
until there was no place left to go.
This would be my last chance
and I got to know one of the seniors.
He used this place as a training ground after graduation.
You knew my dad?
Your dad took in a lousy guy like me
and watched over me.
He apologized for me
when I fought with those in charge.
It's thanks to your dad
that I still work as a trainer.
Look.
This is...
Elf.
I was Eli's original trainer.
But he was timid and weak,
so I gave up on making him into a police dog.
It was your dad who said he wanted to train Elf.
But Elf passed the test the second year and quickly...
became a famous police dog.
Elf wasn't suited to be a police dog.
But your dad had complete trust in him,
and overcame his problems
without giving up, regardless of failure.
You seen Kinako on TV lately?
What did you think?
Listen, Kinako exists to develop you as a trainer,
and you exist to develop Kinako as a police dog.
You think skilled dogs and trainers...
started out so great?
It's already so late!
Post office will close while I hang around.
Really have to pee!
Kinako, you wait here.
Don't watch me pee.
I'm okay, Kinako.
It's not a serious injury.
Bamba!
Search request!
Bamba here.
Bamba, all this rain caused a landslide on Tossaka Mountain.
Someone may be trapped in the debris.
Can you come quickly?
Okay!
Lotta, we're busy.
Go play with Nina.
No dinner for a bad dog.
On my way!
Take care.
Nina, look after Lotta.
Nina!

"Happy Birthday Kyoko!" "Never give up on your dream! Dad"
I'll become a trainer like Dad.
I'll head out like dad and rescue people!
Right, Elf?
But you won't go with Elf.
Why not?
When you're big enough, he'll be too old.
Don't worry,
there's a dog that's just right for you.
You'll find that dog someday.
A partner that understands your words and your heart.
Really?
Listen...
only you will trust that dog no matter what.
I will!
Kyoko, phone for you!
Okay.
From Mrs. Bamba.
Kyoko here.
Kyoko, is Nina there?
Nina?
I can't find Kinako or her.
It's possible Nina took Kinako and headed for your place.
But they're not here.
Where could she have gone?
There was a landslide on Tossaka Mountain this morning.
Heavy rain has now closed routes in nearby Mitoyo City,
with concern for local residents.
They were ordered to evacuate.
Further updates will be provided.
Where are you going in this rain?
They can't find Nina.
Be careful.
Nina...
Kinako?
Kinako!
Kinako, what's wrong?
You know where Nina is?
Kinako, let's go!
Thanks.
Thank you.
Anyone else missing?
All locals accounted for. Thank you.
That's good.
But a little girl with a dog was seen walking near here.
Little girl with a dog?
But not a local child.
I wonder if she's okay...
Excuse me.
I'm working!
I can't find Nina!
Kinako either.
Thought they headed for Kyoko's, but not there.
Tossaka Mountain is on their way!
Road closing is complete!
Team in Tadotsu area, could you hear that...
Road is closed beyond here.
A landslide occurred.
Hey, you two!
Where you going?
Nina!
Listen...
only you will trust that dog no matter what.
Dad,
I trust Kinako.
Nina's scent.
Kinako, search!
Search.

Nina!
Good, search...
Okay... search...
Search...
Good...
Search.
Kinako. Search...
Kinako!
Nina!
You're okay now!
Embarrassing to be rescued by you two.
Are you injured?
Just sprained my ankle.
Why'd you come here?
Kinako has been so lonely since you left.
So are dad, mom, Keita...
and me.
Nina...
Your button is missing.
I'll fix it when we get back.
Good job, Kinako.
Good girl!
Search... good...
Search, okay...
Akagi!
Take this.
Nina.
Nina!
What's up?
Rookie pair found her.
Seems like it.
Idiot!
Why?
Why'd you just head off alone?
Idiot.
Why the screech?
Should have told us you found her, idiot!
Can't believe I fell asleep.
What an idiot you are!
Please stop calling me idiot!
Sir!
Please.
Let me come back here.
Can't I?
Wake up 5:00 A.M. tomorrow.
Sir!
If that's okay...
Why not... Why not just go and do it?
Hey!
Kyoko, welcome back.
Thanks.
Keita.
What's that?
My first loss.
So, you found her?
Mom, I...
Will try once more?
In any case, you'll come running home.
I'll leave your room as it is.
I won't go running home again.
It's not just me.
Kinako is at my side.
So she says...
Everyone, hear that cheering?
So many people came to support Kinako
and Kyoko on their second try.
Do your best.
We want to register.
Kinako, and Kyoko Mochizuki.
Kinako!
Kinako, do your best!
Kyoko!
Okay, Kinako, let's go.
I'll do my best.
With Kinako.
Sit.

It's okay. Find the next one.
