#DUPE# (1992–…): Season 2, Episode 18 - No Need for a Ghost! - full transcript

Sasami vanishes after being visited by a mysterious young girl! The rest of the gang mounts a search party, but all they find is an abandoned space ship!

My shift'll be over in just two hours.

Mihoshi! Mihoshi, please wake up!

Huh? Wh-What is it, Kiyone?

Yagami's engine power is failing.

But we just fixed it.

I don't get it.

You! I told you we shouldn't take a shortcut!

Wait a minute. You know
you agreed to it, Kiyone.

Mihoshi, I think this might
be what they call Sargasso.

What? What's that?

You know, the spaceship graveyard.



They say you never get out
once you wander into this area.

Uh-oh, Kiyone.
What do you think that is, huh?

What?

Hey, now. What's going on here, huh?

Hey. Wake up.

Please wake up.

- Who are you?
- My name's Mirei.

How about you and me have fun?

Where did you come from?

From that ship over there.

Wow!

What is it?

Stop that!

Her name is Ryo-Ohki.



Don't worry. She's not gonna bite you.

She's afraid of me.

Knock it off! I'm ticklish, you know!

By the way, my name is Sasami.

Say, how did you get in here anyway, Mirei?

Do you want me to show you?

Yeah!

Hold on tight, okay?

Sasami!

Ayeka! Ryoko!

What's wrong? What are
you doing up this late?

What's the matter, Tenchi?

Sasami and Ryo-Ohki have
disappeared into the bedroom mirror!

What?!

Tenchi, there's something in the bathroom.

No!

This is such a gorgeous room!

Please, help yourself.

Incredible! It's like magic, huh?

I'll take some of these.

Hey, Sasami, why aren't you afraid of me?

Why should I be?

Because I'm... you know...

Oh, about that. Ryoko can go
through walls and stuff too, you know.

You mean, like me?

Is that because you
have ESP or something?

I don't know.

I've always been alone, so
I don't really know how I do it.

The only clue I have left is that photograph.

The dress you're wearing, it's so pretty.

Well, how would you
like to try one on, Sasami?

There.

Are you all right, Sasami?

- Come on, let's go.
I'll give you a tour of the ship.
- Yeah.

So, Washu, what do you think?
Can you figure any of this out?

Well, considering the size of that ship,

it should have just about
the same power as Yagami does.

But I can't see any trace of it.

Yeah, and what does that mean?

No energy. The ship
doesn't have any output.

In other words, that ship is dead.

Are you ready, everyone? Here we go.

Mm-hmm.

That noise... I'm scared.

I don't hear anything.

Let's go back, please.

We just got here, Mihoshi.

This must be a ghost ship.
What else could it be?

Calm down. You're imagining things.

Wait for me!

The level of ions in the air
is increasing considerably.

This is exciting to
gather such valuable data.

I wonder if it's because the materialized
ectoplasm is ethereal in nature.

Washu, we're looking for Sasami.
First things first, okay, please?

Hey, that's my sister!

Oh? Which one?

That one with the long hair.

I can't see. Can you find
a switch anywhere, Ryoko?

It's really so dark in here,
and we need some light.

Hey, what is it, Ayeka?

Sa-Sasami!

It seems like a regular mirror to me.

But I just saw Sasami's reflection in there.

Ayeka, I really think you're seeing things.

Sasa...!

Sasami? Sasami?

Stop banging your head like that.
Your face is going to warp.

Yeah!

Oh, that was so close.

But it sure was fun, wasn't it?

Mirei, hey, let's trick them a little bit more.

What do you mean, trick them?

Here they come.

What's this place?

It looks like a ballroom, doesn't it?

It's just a mirror.

Sasami!

Sasami!

Washu, look!

What? Whoa!

Wow! That must be an ethereal life-form.

I wonder if it's even
possible to collect a sample.

Washu, forget about that.
We have to find Sasami.

Why didn't you grab that thing for me?

Oh, man.

Wow, that was a lot of fun.

Hey, wait, Sasami. Can you
close your eyes for a second?

Yeah.

It's my garden at home.

I can see it in your mind, Sasami.

Let's go this way. We have a maze.

This was one of my favorite places.

Look.

There's the ribbon I tied as a signpost.

There's a fountain at the end of this maze.

You shouldn't cheat like that.

Don't you want to get there quickly, Sasami?

This is kind of strange, isn't it?

Yeah.

I used to cut study hall
and come over here a lot

and they were always so mad at me.

I envy you, Sasami.

So you really are a princess, huh?

It's not a good thing to be a princess.
You have to be so polite and proper.

- Catch!
- Aah! That's cold!

Sneak attack!

I'm soaking wet! It's great!

Yeah, me, too.

Hey, let's take a roller
coaster ride. That should dry us.

Now we go over the super loop! All right!

I've been on this on Earth.

I love merry-go-rounds.

In your mind the memory of this ride
had a sticker saying, "Two thumbs up."

And it had sparkling hearts all over it.

It's things that are beautiful and dear to me.

You're absolutely right, Mirei.

Only my favorite memories
get one of those stickers.

Wow. Now, this is how I remember fireworks.

- Does this have a sticker too?
- Yep. It's got an ultra-super jumbo sticker.

I think I should go.

But why?

'Cause everybody will
be so worried about me.

What?

They disappeared.

The thing is...

...it is impossible for the mind
to be in two places at once.

Mirei, I'm sorry.

That's all right.

I had a lot of fun, Sasami.

Mirei, promise we'll meet again.

- Mm-hmm.
- I'll be back. Let's look forward to that.

Mm-hmm, all right.

It's awful, but I don't have anything
to offer you as a token of our friendship.

You've already given me something:
Your warm feelings, Sasami.

Bye-bye, Ryo-Ohki.

Let's go now.

Oh, failure.

Next time, we have to go better prepared.

Sasami.

Mirei?

I guess she's gone.

Hi! I'm back!

Sasami.

Sasami!

Sasami, where have you been?

Sec... ret.

What's happening?

Well, I think the power is
back on and Yagami can fly.

Bye-bye, Mirei.

Our spaceship Yagami is hijacked
while we're eating at a drive-in restaurant.

Oh, no! Come back, my Yagami!

Hey, you! Hold it!

The culprits are a couple
of young space gangsters.

We zoom after Yagami at breakneck speed.

And ahead of us,
a supernova is blocking our way!

Coming up next is "No Need for Runaways!"

The terrifying countdown
rips through space!

It's unquestionably busy!
