00:13The Uemura Naomi Adventure Award goes to Yoshida Katsuji, who has been exploring the caves of humanity.
00:20The Uemura Naomi Adventure Award goes to Yoshida Katsuji, who has been exploring the caves of humanity.
00:30He is going to explore the world's largest cave tonight.
00:40But what is the world that humans will enter for the first time?
00:44I might really die.
00:47No one knows what will happen.
00:51This is a dangerous video. I might die.
00:56I'm scared.
00:58The Uemura Naomi Adventure Award. A special trip to the caves.
01:04Yoshida Katsuji, an explorer of the caves, will go on a journey tonight.
01:10First of all, why is he going into the caves?
01:16I want to go to the unknown world that humans have never been to.
01:22It's a journey to the unknown world of humanity.
01:26What? But I'm underwater.
01:29He's looking for a place that no one has ever seen.
01:33Can you do it?
01:35It's not allowed to push forward.
01:39But...
01:42This is bad.
01:44This is bad.
01:47It will be a journey of death and reunion.
01:51This is bad.
01:54This is not good.
01:57Watch out.
02:00Where did you hit?
02:02Where did you hit?
02:03He fell.
02:04He fell.
02:06And the most risky part of the cave exploration is...
02:11The underwater cave.
02:14It's not allowed to push forward.
02:15Yes, it's not allowed to push forward.
02:17There's only one life.
02:20Retreat.
02:22If the wall collapses, if the body is sandwiched,
02:26no one can come to help.
02:30The journey continues with the unwavering fear.
02:35It's narrow, but...
02:38We've reached the unknown world.
02:40We did it.
02:42It's possible that the air was created thousands of years ago.
02:45It might be a space with strange gas.
02:48As an explorer, I want to breathe the air.
02:52Are you okay?
02:54There is a world that no one knows about.
02:56There is a world that no one knows about.
03:01It's been two or three years.
03:03And Yoshida will challenge...
03:07The giant cave in the jungle of Laos,
03:11which was broadcasted two years ago.
03:17I see.
03:19This is it.
03:21For the second time in two years,
03:24Yoshida will challenge the giant cave.
03:28But...
03:34The underground world has changed from two years ago.
03:41And...
03:43We can do it.
03:45It's ahead.
03:47What is the unknown scenery ahead?
03:52Wow!
03:54Are we going?
03:58The cave explorer, Yoshida, will challenge...
04:02It's Laos.
04:04I came for revenge.
04:07This is huge.
04:10It was broadcasted two years ago.
04:14The giant cave in the jungle of Laos.
04:21Yoshida is particular about this place.
04:26Laos and Vietnam are neighbors.
04:31Vietnam has the largest cave in the world.
04:34This is the cave.
04:37How big is it?
04:39The size of a human being.
04:43It's 200 meters to the ceiling.
04:46It's about 200 meters wide.
04:48And it's 8 kilometers long.
04:50The eye of the cave is connected to Laos.
04:55It's the same size.
04:57It's the same size.
04:59You may find a cave bigger than that.
05:03Yes.
05:05Yes.
05:07There is a possibility that this is the largest cave in the world.
05:12Wow!
05:14Wow!
05:16I'm the first person to shout in this space.
05:21Wow!
05:24However, the exploration two years ago came to an unexpected end.
05:29It's over.
05:31What do you mean by over?
05:32It's a dead end.
05:36What was in the way was a pile of garbage.
05:42It was shocking.
05:45I see.
05:47The ground water flows into this hole.
05:51And the garbage gathers here.
05:53Since then...
05:55I remember there was garbage in London.
05:58This time, they dive into the well of garbage and move on to the other side of the huge cave.
06:05But...
06:07If you go beyond the garbage, you'll be hungry.
06:11You won't be able to go back easily.
06:13You'll have to say goodbye to the sun for more than two weeks.
06:16Two weeks?
06:18Two weeks.
06:21Are you okay?
06:23I'm not okay at all.
06:25A challenge that no one can laugh at begins.
06:34They went to the underground world that changed its appearance two years ago.
06:42And then...
06:44I can go.
06:46Beyond this?
06:48What is the scenery that everyone is looking forward to?
06:51What is the scenery that everyone is looking forward to?
06:54Tonight, we will take you on an underground adventure of the cave explorer, Yoshida Katsuji.
07:01It's been a year since I've been here.
07:04I'm Yoshida, a cave explorer. Nice to meet you.
07:07I'm already excited.
07:09That was two years ago.
07:11That's fast.
07:13I was impressed by the fact that there was garbage in the end.
07:16I was told that there was a lot of garbage in the end.
07:20I was surprised that there was a lot of garbage.
07:22I didn't think there was a lot of exploration.
07:25I didn't think there was a lot of exploration.
07:28Did you want to go further?
07:31It was like a dream.
07:33From my experience, there must be a way beyond the garbage.
07:39I wanted to go there.
07:42But there may not be a way.
07:44That's the problem.
07:47I don't know what's going to happen.
07:50I don't know, but I asked Crazy Johnny to go with me.
07:56The cost of exploration has increased.
08:00That's right.
08:02The first year was no good.
08:04I was told that there was nothing but garbage.
08:09I managed to push through this year.
08:11I thought I'd do it.
08:14You were frustrated.
08:16I was frustrated.
08:18I asked Crazy Johnny to take the staff with him.
08:21He said he was about to die at the meeting.
08:25What's going on?
08:28Let's go to the world's largest cave.
08:33It took about 14 hours to get from Japan by plane.
08:3814 hours.
08:40The mountainous area in northern Laos.
08:44Is that the foot of the mountain?
08:46Yes, that's the foot of the mountain.
08:49The huge cave is at the end of this jungle.
08:55OK.
08:57We're here.
08:59Is this it?
09:01This is it.
09:02We're here.
09:04It's been two years since the last visit to the Namrod Cave.
09:10It's a place that's easy for humans to get into.
09:15You have to go through the culture of the local people.
09:20This challenge will be much more difficult than two years ago.
09:26Let's not do this.
09:28We have to carry so much.
09:31It's blue.
09:34There's a lot of luggage.
09:36There's more than one K-truck.
09:38This luggage.
09:40First, the equipment.
09:42There's also underwater exploration, so it's twice as much as last time.
09:46We're going to go further, so we need more equipment.
09:50We have to assume.
09:52We have to take this with six people.
09:55And there are four members.
09:59Two more to move safely.
10:02Five professionals and a total of six program staff.
10:06Each cave is different, but they assume everything.
10:12Yoshida recruits professionals from various fields.
10:17I didn't know there was so much fog.
10:20It's fun to see a different scenery every time I see it.
10:24It's like a nightmare.
10:26Really.
10:28It's crazy.
10:31I can't eat or drink delicious food every day.
10:36I don't like it, but I want to go there.
10:40It's bigger than I imagined.
10:43I'll do my best from now on.
10:46Let's go to the Namrod Cave, full of fear and curiosity.
10:52The first passage is a 60-meter waterfall.
10:57But...
11:00It's dangerous.
11:02There's a lot of water.
11:04Maybe it's twice as much as last time.
11:07What does that mean?
11:09There was a big flood during the rainy season.
11:12Yes, the environment this time is the worst.
11:15In September of this year, Laos was hit by a record heavy rain.
11:21Even after three months, the water didn't stop.
11:27Compared to two years ago, the amount of water is clearly higher.
11:31So...
11:33I don't know until I go there, but I might not be able to get out.
11:37It's a bit of a problem.
11:40The situation in the cave is unknown due to the influx of water.
11:46What is Captain Yoshida's strategy?
11:48What?
11:51I've been surviving for 30 years.
11:54I'm going to do what I can to survive.
12:00I'm going to survive.
12:03What do you mean?
12:05I'm confident that I'll survive until the end.
12:08I don't know about the director, but I'll do my best.
12:12I'll do my best until the end.
12:14I have my own life.
12:16I didn't expect you to say that.
12:18The point of exploration is the strength of vitality.
12:23In fact, the exploration of fear is beginning.
12:29Are you serious?
12:31The world's largest cave exploration.
12:35The first hurdle is a 60-meter waterfall.
12:41I'm scared of heights.
12:44The second hurdle is a 60-meter waterfall with a rope.
12:49Let's go.
12:52I can't see the fog.
12:54It was foggy.
12:56It's fog that never clears.
12:59Yoshida went down the cliff.
13:02OK.
13:04I'll do my best.
13:06It's amazing.
13:08The second hurdle is under the water.
13:11I'm scared.
13:13I'm scared.
13:15Yoshida is being trained.
13:18But the fear of the site is different.
13:24It's a dangerous waterfall.
13:28It's close to the water.
13:31If you make a mistake, you'll die.
13:33I'm scared.
13:35It's carefully processed.
13:40It's deep.
13:42I'm scared.
13:4615 minutes after the start of the waterfall,
13:49we arrived at the waterfall.
13:51What's the view like?
13:54The water level is high.
13:56It's three or four times higher.
13:59Looking from below,
14:01the water level is much higher than expected.
14:06It's a dangerous situation.
14:09In the midst of such a situation,
14:12the program staff arrived safely.
14:18Welcome to our house.
14:21We're back.
14:23Next, we're going to unload the cargo from the ground.
14:29It's heavy because it's a cylinder.
14:34It weighs more than 300 kilograms.
14:37Unloading the essential cargo.
14:42From food to oxygen pump,
14:45there's nothing unnecessary.
14:48But this time,
14:50this equipment is necessary.
14:52Is this all?
14:54Is this all?
14:56How many kilograms per person?
14:58How many kilograms?
15:01We're going to carry it all the time.
15:06Last time, we set up a base camp near the waterfall.
15:12Since we explored the camp site and the cave,
15:17we didn't have to move everything.
15:22This time, we're going to go deep into the cave,
15:26so we're going to carry all the luggage and move to the camp site.
15:30I see.
15:32Yoshida knows the route,
15:36so he's going to move to the waterfall for a day.
15:41But he's still worried.
15:44It's a dangerous situation.
15:46Why?
15:48The water level is high.
15:51It's three times higher than last time.
15:53This is bad.
15:55This is a strange situation.
15:56The water level is rising.
15:58How will this affect our route?
16:04Let's start our exploration from the waterfall.
16:10Two years ago,
16:13Wow, it's slippery.
16:15the area was just wet with rocks.
16:19But this time...
16:21Wow.
16:23Yoshida.
16:25What's going on?
16:30What's going on?
16:33It's slippery.
16:36And while exploring,
16:39there was a big problem.
16:41That's true.
16:43What's going on?
16:46This is impossible.
16:47I can't hear anything.
16:50I can't hear anything either.
16:52That's pretty stressful.
16:55It's a lot harder than last time.
16:58I know.
17:00In this strong current,
17:02the seabirds, of course,
17:05can't hear each other's voices,
17:08and they can't communicate.
17:10I see.
17:12In such a situation,
17:14the worst situation occurs.
17:18The most important thing was washed away.
17:22What was washed away?
17:24My battery.
17:26Oh, no.
17:28The light?
17:30That's all you have?
17:32No.
17:34In the strong current,
17:36the most important thing in the cave,
17:38the light's spare battery, was washed away.
17:41What?
17:43Oh, no.
17:47The loss of equipment
17:49was a fatal mistake.
17:52If we were lucky,
17:54we might have found it earlier.
17:56If it's too heavy, it'll sink.
17:58They regroup.
18:00The first obstacle in the cave,
18:02the first waterfall.
18:06This is what it looked like two years ago.
18:09Wow.
18:18The water level was enough to float a boat.
18:24But this time...
18:37The water level is different.
18:42This is a dangerous situation even for professionals.
18:45Anyway, the water level here is so high.
18:50If we go down, we'll be swept away.
18:53If the current is strong,
18:55we won't be able to get out.
18:58I'm worried if we can get to where we were last time.
19:02I agree.
19:04I think it'll be difficult.
19:06This is a dangerous situation even for professionals.
19:09This is the situation.
19:12If we get caught in this water level,
19:16we'll be swept away by the current and won't be able to get out.
19:21In addition,
19:23there is a possibility that the route ahead is submerged.
19:26It's very dangerous to go forward with a lot of luggage.
19:33What will they do?
19:34What will they do?
19:38I'll go down and take a look.
19:41If we don't go down, we won't be able to get out.
19:45If we get swept away, what will we do?
19:48If we get swept away, we'll be swept away.
19:51If we get swept away, we won't be able to get out.
19:55Will they be able to get out of here after two years?
20:01Will the road continue?
20:04Yoshida is going down alone.
20:20It's a difficult path that doesn't seem to be the same place.
20:28He carefully checks the flow and goes into the cave.
20:34The light is on.
20:43Yoshida's figure has disappeared.
20:47I'm back.
20:57The light is on.
20:58The light is on.
21:03I'm scared.
21:08Yoshida returns safely.
21:14Is there a way into the cave?
21:20There is a way.
21:24Can you go through here?
21:26Jump into the waterfall from here.
21:29Jump into the waterfall?
21:31Everyone should jump into the waterfall.
21:34Yoshida's strategy is to jump into the waterfall.
21:38What does that mean?
21:41I'm back.
21:43I'm here.
21:45I'll put my luggage here and throw it in.
21:48I'll float it.
21:50I'll carry it.
21:52It's easy.
21:54Yoshida's strategy is to float on the water flow.
22:01You can save your energy by changing your luggage and boat to float.
22:06I'm scared.
22:08I was told to jump.
22:10I heard that I would be involved.
22:17I can't do this anymore.
22:23Next, he throws his boat and luggage into the water.
22:34The most important thing at this time is...
22:38If the water falls under the waterfall, you can't get out.
22:45So you have to go over there where the bubbles are.
22:48You can't fall because you're scared. You have to jump more.
22:52The staff also jump into the waterfall.
23:02I went to the place where the bubbles are.
23:04It's okay.
23:06It was close.
23:08I went well.
23:10From here, they move to the river on the ground and aim for the second waterfall.
23:16Two years ago...
23:22It's fun.
23:26It was an elegant boat trip like an attraction.
23:31This time...
23:37The water is cold.
23:41The water is so deep that you can't reach your feet because of the water flow.
23:45The water is so deep that you can't even get on the boat because there is little space with the ceiling.
23:58I have to carry my luggage there.
24:00And from here, they move by swimming.
24:05It's already been eight hours since they entered the cave.
24:08The second waterfall, which uses a lot more time than expected.
24:13Two years ago...
24:17It's fun to compare.
24:20Everything is getting worse.
24:29It was an elegant boat trip like an attraction.
24:32This time...
24:36Can I go to the second waterfall?
24:38I think I'm going to fall.
24:39I think I'm going to fall.
24:41Did you fall?
24:44Mr. Yoshida.
24:46I'm scared.
24:49A small space that can't be seen ahead.
24:52Did Yoshida get sucked in here?
24:56It's really dark.
25:04Yes, this cave is...
25:05This cave is...
25:07It's a little hard to say, but...
25:09This cave is...
25:11The water is being sucked in.
25:13Think about it.
25:15If you think about it, it's like putting water in a washbasin and pulling out a line.
25:22The water will come out like this.
25:25Because I'm in there.
25:28So that I don't die.
25:31You can see the light ahead of the flow.
25:34Is Yoshida safe?
25:39Mr. Yoshida, are you there?
25:44Then...
25:49He was dragged by the flow and his clothes were swallowed by the waterfall.
25:55I'm in a hurry.
25:57Really?
25:58I'm in a hurry.
26:08Mr. Yoshida, help me.
26:11I'm being swept away.
26:15Help me.
26:17I'm being swept away.
26:23The staff is about to be pulled into the back of the waterfall.
26:27He can't move forward because he has a 40-kilogram weight.
26:39Are you okay?
26:41I can't go.
26:43Are you okay?
26:45I can't go.
26:50I want to go forward, but...
26:53However, he managed to swim out of the water.
27:02Mr. Yoshida.
27:07It's completely different from a VTR.
27:10The story is different.
27:14I have a lot of water, but I can't open it because it's so high.
27:20He managed to avoid the danger and met with Mr. Yoshida.
27:26He arrived at the third waterfall.
27:32Two years ago...
27:34I want to explore with these members for the rest of my life.
27:40Mr. Yoshida was checking the bonds of the members.
27:45This time, it's the opposite.
27:50Mr. Yoshida.
27:54The incident happened in front of the staff who were chasing Yoshida.
27:58Incident?
28:06The boat...
28:07Are you okay?
28:10A set of luggage with equipment...
28:14It looks like a living thing.
28:16What happened?
28:20The boat crashed into the waterfall.
28:26Are you okay?
28:31Are you going?
28:33If you lose that much equipment, you can't continue exploring.
28:38Mr. Yoshida.
28:41He asked the members behind him for help.
28:45When he noticed, no one was there.
28:47What?
28:51And when he looked back, he could see Yoshida.
28:56Are you alone here?
28:58I'm so scared.
29:00I heard it's dangerous to go forward.
29:02At this time, there was an incident with all the members.
29:07What about Mr. Kawada?
29:11I couldn't lift the luggage because it was too heavy.
29:14I almost drowned.
29:15What?
29:16Anyway, I was scared.
29:17What?
29:19Mr. Sawada, who usually works as a rescue worker, drowned in the waterfall.
29:25I was able to get out of the water.
29:31Did you get out of the water by jumping into the water?
29:34Yes, I have a habit of getting out of the water.
29:36Chikano, who is the most experienced of the four, got out of the water by diving.
29:42Everyone has their own luggage.
29:44When you go through a narrow place, it takes a long time after the person in front of you has gone.
29:50Then the distance between the first person and the last person is getting wider and wider.
29:55I thought it was dangerous.
29:58Even if someone gets lost, drowns, or gets caught, no one can help.
30:04Even though I'm on the team, I can't make use of the good points of the team at all.
30:12In fact, at that time, the team was disunited due to fatigue and anxiety.
30:18The worst situation is that six people are separated in the cave.
30:26And what happened to Yoshida, the captain?
30:31What happened to Yoshida?
30:33He was actually standing still.
30:36He wasn't just standing still, but he couldn't catch up with the luggage if he made a mistake.
30:43So he was wondering whether to jump in or not.
30:47He chose to jump in and said,
30:49But as a point of reflection, it was better not to jump in.
30:56What if there's a rock when you jump in and there's a sharp tree and you get stuck in it?
31:04There's a chance you'll get hurt.
31:06It's better to avoid jumping in all of a sudden.
31:10I can't help but regret it, but I can't help but reflect on it.
31:15I'm going to be careful not to let the luggage get washed away.
31:21That's what I'm going to reflect on.
31:26After that, he managed to catch up with the luggage, but it was a rare mistake for Yoshida.
31:34In the cave of such an emergency, one of the staff finally reunited with the members behind him.
31:43And after 12 hours of exploration, the six of them managed to meet at the third waterfall.
31:50It's over.
31:54I'm sorry to keep up with you.
31:56No, it's okay.
31:59I'm not responsible for this business, but I'm doing my best.
32:03I'm not good at swimming, but I'm doing my best.
32:09As expected, the influence of the water did not advance half of the plan.
32:17All right, let's go down.
32:21Let's go.
32:23The team is exhausted.
32:26They camp here tonight.
32:30They re-organize their strategy once.
32:34They hope for the second day of exploration.
32:38However!
32:40Oga-kun, isn't this bad?
32:43It's really bad.
32:44It's been bad for a long time.
32:46It's been bad for a long time, hasn't it?
32:49The scary cave prevents the members from entering.
32:53What?
33:04The members have come to the studio from here.
33:07Nice to meet you.
33:08Nice to meet you.
33:11I can't come alone today.
33:13You can't come alone.
33:15It's scary, but it's not convenient.
33:19It's not convenient.
33:21I'm glad.
33:23They are all professionals.
33:27This is a bad situation.
33:29It's a close call.
33:32They are quietly nodding.
33:35How do you feel?
33:37I'm in despair because it's different from what I imagined.
33:42It's a start of despair.
33:44The luggage is the biggest problem.
33:47It's too heavy.
33:49The luggage was full of water.
33:52I couldn't lift it up.
33:54He had a diving tank.
33:58He held it so that he wouldn't sink.
34:01I thought it was nice to be young.
34:04There are many crazy journeys.
34:06I think it's more important to be mentally prepared than technically prepared.
34:16That's right.
34:17I used to bring canned beer with me.
34:20That's right.
34:21It was fun.
34:22We ate and drank together at that time.
34:26This time, it's completely different.
34:28What?
34:29I'm going to kill you.
34:31It's a bad situation.
34:33I feel like my body is collapsing.
34:36I haven't seen the moment of his smile yet.
34:39To be honest, I can't take a picture.
34:42You took a good picture.
34:43He is a director specialized in caves.
34:47A cave director?
34:49He is good at it.
34:50It's a niche, but it's better to aim for it.
34:52I see.
34:53It hasn't started yet.
34:55Let's watch the continuation.
35:01The next day.
35:05He has a problem even before departure.
35:09What is it?
35:10You seem to have lost an important gear.
35:14What?
35:15What is it?
35:16You can't move forward?
35:17No, I can't.
35:19I messed up.
35:22He can't find a bag with the necessary tools.
35:28There is a possibility that he will forget it.
35:32Including that, he will go back to the entrance.
35:36Where is the entrance?
35:38He will go back to the road that took him half a day.
35:43The first place?
35:44You can stay here.
35:46That's scary.
35:48Please go back.
35:49Then, I'll go back.
35:52It's not your intention, so please go back.
35:55If you go back, please tell me.
35:57I'll go back, so don't worry.
36:01How long do I have to wait for him to go back?
36:03More than 10 hours?
36:05He leaves the work to the professional.
36:07The staff will stay alone.
36:11I'm very anxious.
36:13It's 1 p.m.
36:16By the way, if you turn off the light,
36:21it's pitch black.
36:23If you turn on the light,
36:26it's a waste of energy.
36:28So, I'll wait in the darkness.
36:31It's a dangerous scene.
36:32He may die.
36:36If he experiences this,
36:38he will be fine no matter where he is.
36:41Did you find it?
36:43He found it.
36:45It was here.
36:46He found it.
36:48It's a miracle.
36:50If he had gone back,
36:51he would have gone back to the waterfall.
36:53The first scene.
36:54The scene where he jumped into the water.
36:57The scene where he threw the luggage.
37:04He's very excited.
37:05Only this team has a strong bond.
37:07That's right.
37:08Only this team.
37:10He came here and found his team.
37:14He made a deal with Yoshida.
37:17He regretted it.
37:19He wanted to go there.
37:21He was in a hurry.
37:22In the end, he was exhausted.
37:24He was exhausted.
37:25He lost his belongings.
37:27He left his bag behind.
37:30To be honest,
37:31I was exhausted yesterday.
37:33Kuno-D was about to die.
37:38Sawada and I
37:39were sleeping without changing our clothes.
37:41It was cold,
37:42so we changed into dry clothes
37:44and slept in our sleeping bags.
37:45I was shocked to see him
37:47sleeping without changing his clothes.
37:49I thought I was overdoing it.
37:52It's 5 o'clock now.
37:53Even if I overdo it,
37:54it's still late at night.
37:56I'm getting more and more tired.
37:58Let's sleep here tonight.
38:01Let's sleep here tonight.
38:03Let's have a beer.
38:05That's great.
38:10Let's have a beer.
38:11Let's have a beer.
38:12Let's have a beer.
38:15Basically,
38:16the most important thing is to have fun.
38:19That's right.
38:20I'm glad.
38:21There's no such thing as a quick fix.
38:24By the way,
38:25this beer is also one of the necessary equipment
38:28to maintain one's mental health.
38:36This isn't the bag you lost, is it?
38:39The next day
38:43We're going to reduce our luggage
38:45and go to the garbage dump.
38:48Change of plan.
38:50We'll set up a base camp
38:52and reduce the equipment
38:54to 10 kg.
38:56We're going to the garbage dump.
38:58The order is me.
39:00Who's next?
39:02Kunoji.
39:05Can you do it?
39:06I can do it.
39:08I'm going to shoot,
39:10but I'll tell you where it's dangerous.
39:13If you don't take care of your safety,
39:15you might really die.
39:18We calculated the threat of flooding
39:21and proceeded cautiously.
39:24The route from here
39:26two years ago was...
39:33Diver.
39:36There was water,
39:38but there was no flow.
39:41This time...
39:45What is this?
39:46It's flowing.
39:47It's a diver.
39:49Are you a diver?
39:57This is scary.
39:59Wow.
40:03There's a lot of water.
40:06Is it okay
40:08if there are no sharp rocks?
40:11I'll look at the camera.
40:16We proceeded while being swept away by the current.
40:23Are you sure it's okay?
40:26Are you sure you can come back?
40:28That's right.
40:29There's no rope here.
40:31It's scary because there are no rocks.
40:33The staff were worried.
40:35It's okay to proceed,
40:37but can they use this current?
40:53It's like a Goonies.
40:55It's a Goonies.
40:58Goonies.
41:00Despite such anxiety,
41:02Yoshida continued to proceed.
41:06What was that?
41:07It's like we're proceeding again.
41:13It's coming.
41:15It's coming.
41:22After four hours of going down the current,
41:25there's still no sign of the Goonies.
41:28It's coming.
41:30It's dangerous, Yoshida.
41:32It looks like it's going to break.
41:36The current became even more intense.
41:41Are you okay?
41:43The members were worried about proceeding any further.
41:47It's true.
41:49It's coming.
41:51It's coming.
41:53It's coming.
41:55It's coming.
41:57It's coming.
42:01Isn't it dangerous?
42:03It's dangerous.
42:05It's dangerous.
42:07It's dangerous.
42:12Captain, it's coming.
42:15It's coming.
42:17If the current continues, they won't be able to go back.
42:20To avoid the worst-case scenario,
42:22they set up a rope outside the captain's area.
42:26It's not coming.
42:29Captain.
42:31If the current continues,
42:34they won't be able to go back.
42:36I'm a guide, not an explorer.
42:39I don't want it to get any more dangerous.
42:42Even if it gets dangerous,
42:44I want them to be able to go back.
42:46That's my last request.
42:48That's why I decided to do this.
42:51It's like a slide on a slippery rock.
42:55You keep going forward,
42:57but you end up going back.
42:59You think,
43:01maybe I shouldn't keep sliding.
43:03I kept sliding,
43:05and I don't think I could go back.
43:07Just like the first day,
43:09the team was stretched out.
43:11We weren't able to concentrate at all.
43:14Mr. Yoshida's desire to go,
43:17and everyone else's anxiety,
43:21all came together.
43:24Everyone was suspicious of Mr. Yoshida.
43:27Not again.
43:29You're suspicious again.
43:31Mr. Yoshida.
43:32What are you doing?
43:34You drank beer and forgot, didn't you?
43:37However,
43:38Mr. Yoshida's team was about to fall apart,
43:41but something happened.
43:44What happened?
43:47With safety in mind,
43:49they went down the slide,
43:51and went to meet Mr. Yoshida.
43:58And then...
44:01Mr. Yoshida.
44:02What?
44:03Mr. Yoshida.
44:04Mr. Yoshida.
44:05What?
44:06We're here.
44:07Is this it?
44:08Is this the garbage dump?
44:11I think it's this way.
44:13Two years ago,
44:14the garbage dump was blocked,
44:17and it finally appeared.
44:22There's a lot of garbage.
44:24Wow.
44:25Did you steal it?
44:28Can we go further?
44:30Yes.
44:31Compared to two years ago,
44:33the amount of garbage doubled.
44:35You couldn't see the ground at all.
44:38Can we go down?
44:41This is...
44:43Yoshida.
44:44I'm out of breath.
44:49What will they do?
44:52Let's get ready.
44:53Can we go down?
44:54It's just open.
44:55It's telling us to go down.
44:57No, it's not just open.
45:01It's just open.
45:02It's telling us to go down.
45:04No one noticed.
45:05That's true.
45:06And so...
45:08What should we do, Mr. Yoshida?
45:10We can't wait.
45:12If we don't go back, we'll die.
45:14We'll die alone.
45:17It's been two years since the last time.
45:18Wow, that's amazing.
45:19They're sorting out the garbage.
45:21It's finally Yoshida's turn.
45:23This is our revenge.
45:25We couldn't make it.
45:26We have to move on.
45:30Did you drink it?
45:31No, I didn't.
45:33Mr. Yoshida.
45:34Please come back.
45:36I'm coming back.
45:38Please come back.
45:45Mr. Yoshida.
45:46Please come back.
45:47I'm coming back.
45:50Please come back.
45:52Please come back.
46:00Will they be able to find a new route?
46:07Based on my experience,
46:09even if we don't go that far,
46:10we can get to a place with air.
46:18Oh, there it is.
46:23Mr. Yoshida returns safely.
46:25What's the new route?
46:29It's tough.
46:30It's tough.
46:31We couldn't make it.
46:33It's all garbage up to here.
46:36Oh, all the way down?
46:37All the way down.
46:39I took a picture,
46:41but it's all over the place.
46:44There's too much garbage compared to last time.
46:48The visibility is bad.
46:50The battle for the first time in two years
46:52ends in just five minutes.
46:56That's what he thinks.
47:00The next strategy is to climb.
47:04Mr. Yoshida doesn't give up.
47:08We're going to climb the wall in front of us.
47:10The wall in front of us isn't a rock,
47:12it's actually a small fountain.
47:13It's called a flow stone.
47:15Water flows from above,
47:17and the carbon dioxide is crystallized
47:19and turned into a flow stone.
47:21That means there's a space
47:23where water flows from above.
47:27At the top of the garbage fountain,
47:29there's a possibility of another route
47:31that continues on.
47:35He immediately hits the anchor
47:37and climbs the flow stone.
47:40He climbs the flow stone.
47:45What?
47:48He climbs the wall
47:50and climbs the flow stone.
47:53Is there a way beyond that?
47:57Okay.
47:59We can go.
48:01Beyond this?
48:02We're on the right track.
48:06Let's go back to the base camp.
48:08We're going back?
48:09We're going back.
48:11Instead of climbing the wall,
48:13everyone goes back to the base camp.
48:17But...
48:24Mr. Takeuchi is down
48:26due to an unknown cause.
48:29What? An unknown cause?
48:30He's left with hope and anxiety,
48:32and the third day is over.
48:35And on the fourth day,
48:37Captain Yoshida has a plan.
48:41Well...
48:43Everyone except me
48:46is tired.
48:47Mentally and physically.
48:49And one of us is sick.
48:53I think we can reset once
48:55we get out of the cave.
48:57So everyone except me will get out.
49:00Kuno-D and I will stay here.
49:03Kuno-D!
49:04Yoshida says
49:06that he's a little worried
49:08about the physical and mental health of the four members.
49:11So he decides to go back to the ground
49:13and get refreshed.
49:16The program staff seems fine,
49:19so they stay as they are.
49:21We'll get along better.
49:25We're alone in this cave.
49:28We're alone in this cave.
49:33The program staff seems fine,
49:35so they stay as they are.
49:37Let's go.
49:39Let's go.
49:44Thank goodness.
49:47The 60-meter waterfall...
49:50Thank you for your hard work.
49:51Thank you for your hard work.
49:52Thank you for your hard work.
49:53Thank you for your hard work.
49:54We'll eat, sleep,
49:56regain our strength,
49:58and get out of here.
50:01All four of them escape from the cave safely.
50:05Meanwhile, inside the cave...
50:08What are you doing?
50:10This?
50:11Snacks.
50:12Snacks?
50:13Yes, to lighten our luggage.
50:15Let's eat this.
50:19Let's eat this.
50:21Let's eat this.
50:22Let's eat this.
50:23Let's eat this.
50:24Don't do that. I'll get fat.
50:27It's time to eat.
50:31On the fourth day of the cave exploration,
50:35they have a peaceful time without any trouble.
50:43But on the fifth day,
50:44something unexpected happens.
50:47Again?
50:52Mr. Yoshida.
50:54It's already noon,
50:56but no one is coming back.
50:58No one is coming back.
51:02Even after four hours,
51:04no one comes back.
51:06Why?
51:07The reason is that we suddenly realized that we had forgotten something.
51:10It's about an hour and a half from the cave to the inn,
51:13so it's about three hours.
51:15So I thought we'd meet on time.
51:19On the second day,
51:21we didn't expect much.
51:23There was a car accident,
51:28and we didn't want to meet,
51:32but there was a problem with the rope,
51:35and someone got hurt.
51:37But we had no choice but to move.
51:41If we didn't move, we wouldn't get any information.
51:46At that moment, one of the members appeared.
51:53Hello.
51:54Hello.
51:55Did something happen?
51:57Everyone got sick.
51:59Really?
52:00Yes.
52:01What kind of illness?
52:02My mother had a fever on the way home.
52:05What fever?
52:07She had a fever,
52:09and she couldn't move.
52:12Ko-chan couldn't move,
52:15and he couldn't get up.
52:16He was drinking water.
52:17Tsumada-kun also had a fever,
52:20and he couldn't move.
52:23It can't be.
52:25Surprisingly,
52:26the three professionals from the cave
52:28were taken to the hospital.
52:30It was an emergency.
52:32It's really different.
52:33I'm worried.
52:34I've been here for a long time.
52:35I'm sorry I'm late.
52:36No, it's okay.
52:38When I was taken to the hospital,
52:40I was like,
52:41what should I do?
52:43I was about to cry.
52:45You were about to cry?
52:47Once you enter the cave,
52:50you can't get in touch with the outside world.
52:53You can't tell what happened inside
52:56or what happened outside.
52:59It's too difficult to understand the situation.
53:04We have to trust each other.
53:07If I go alone,
53:09it's dangerous for Sawara-kun,
53:11so I'd better not go.
53:12It's better to go alone.
53:13But it's hard to leave the two of us here
53:15for a night.
53:17I think that's the right decision.
53:20We'll be back when we're ready,
53:23so please wait here.
53:25No, no, no.
53:26Wait a minute.
53:27What?
53:28If the two of us get sick,
53:31no one will come.
53:34No, no, no.
53:36I'll leave it here.
53:39This is a bar.
53:42As expected,
53:43the half of the members have left,
53:45so they can't go any further.
53:48They decide to stop their adventure
53:50and escape in the forest.
53:53And six hours later.
53:56It's getting better.
53:58It's amazing.
53:59I haven't seen the light for a long time.
54:01I see.
54:02I'm impressed by the light.
54:05Finally,
54:06they arrive at the first 60-meter waterfall.
54:11But...
54:12What?
54:13I can't move my arms.
54:15I can't move them.
54:17What?
54:18Maybe I should rest.
54:20I'm tired.
54:21I'm tired.
54:22I want to rest.
54:23I want to rest.
54:24I see.
54:26Here,
54:27the staff's arms are at their limit.
54:31The last 60-meter waterfall
54:34is the only way to climb it alone.
54:38Kuno-D,
54:40I have something to tell you.
54:43What is it?
54:44Kuno-D's arms hurt.
54:47He can't climb the waterfall at this moment.
54:52But I have to go outside
54:55because of this problem.
54:57That means
54:58Kuno-D has to spend the night in the cave alone.
55:04It's the first night in the cave in his life.
55:09Yoshida and Chika leave the cave alone.
55:13The staff stay in the cave alone
55:16to recover their strength.
55:19Kuno-D.
55:20I can't climb the cliff.
55:23Good night.
55:29Take care.
55:32What will happen on this trip?
55:38I've been exploring the cave with my friends for 30 years.
55:43I can say it was the most difficult time in my life.
55:47In many ways.
55:49I know I'm losing my strength year by year.
55:54There were moments when I was exhausted.
55:59I think I made a mistake.
56:03I made them exhausted.
56:07They were exhausted mentally.
56:11I think I was one of the causes of their illness.
56:16I regret it.
56:19Kuno-D.
56:22I regret it.
56:24Chika was in the cave.
56:27I regret it.
56:29Of course, Katsuji Yoshida won't give up.
56:33What?
56:34What's going on?
56:36After Kuno-D, there was no video at all.
56:39That's right.
56:40Did you go there again after that?
56:42I went there again.
56:43Unfortunately, Sawada-kun couldn't come back.
56:46He resigned.
56:48There were four of us.
56:50Kuno-D also resigned.
56:52That's the time limit.
56:55We got the video.
56:58Let's take a look at it.
57:00They found a path at the top of the garbage well.
57:05That's also a road of garbage.
57:09Garbage is going up.
57:11Garbage comes up when the water increases.
57:17Climbing the cliff further.
57:20It's going up.
57:22Will this be buried in garbage in a few years?
57:25That may be the case.
57:27They found a side hole at the top.
57:31A side hole.
57:33The water is gone because it went up.
57:35I can see the scaffolding.
57:37I'm relieved.
57:38Water is scary.
57:41Then, beyond that.
57:44It came out.
57:47There is such a large space.
57:52It came out.
57:55I'm walking normally.
57:58There is such a large space.
58:00It's like space.
58:02It's like a different planet.
58:05I can't stop exploring the same place.
58:08I can't stop it.
58:11He may want to quit.
58:15I was impressed at this time.
58:17I'm glad I did it.
58:20It's a very large space.
58:22It's the first time a person has landed here.
58:26It's the first time.
58:30There are no traces of people here.
58:32There are traces of people in the cave.
58:34But there are no traces of people here.
58:36I see.
58:38I'm tired.
58:43I'm tired.
58:45It's over.
58:47He stopped 800 meters ahead.
58:50The journey is over.
58:53However, YOSHIDA found a large hole that no one had seen before.
58:57He received the honorable Uemura Naomi Adventure Award.
59:02There is a souvenir.
59:04You said you would make a cave, right?
59:06That's right.
59:10It looks hard.
59:12I want to do it.
59:14I thought the entrance was wide, but it's narrow.
59:17What should I do if I can't get out of the cave?
59:21Next week.
59:22In the middle of the civil war in Colombia, HONZARES will report on it.
59:27In addition, KENJI SATO will report on the disaster in Taiwan.
59:33Please look forward to it.
