Urutora Q (1965–1967): Season 1, Episode 10 - The Underground Super Express Goes West - full transcript
ULTRA Q
Hey, hey, you okay, bro?
You seem like you're rubbing your
nose more than the shoes.
See, isn't your nose more shiny
than my shoes? Eh?
Hmph! Don't joke with me, sir!
I don't look it, but I've had
this job since I was seven!
I'm more experienced than all them
other shoe shiners out there!
-Right, Chibi?
-Yup!
Okay, that'll be 50 yen!
What? Isn't it 40 yen?
At my place...
The price changes depending on my mood.
That's what's different from
those automatic shoe shiners.
Okay, thanks again.
-Mister!
-Hm?
Hey, hey, you're kidding.
You're separate?
Here.
Oh! The journalist chick,
long time no see!
You always pressure the outside.
Weasel, will you stop calling me a chick?
If someone hears that,
they'll think I'm an easy woman.
Well now, I should be ashamed
calling a young lady like that.
You don't have to call me a
young lady now... That's extreme.
Well, cut me some slack!
In return, I'll make it extra cheap for
the beauty at 20 yen.
My, a beauty? Gosh...
Well, it looks like you're
awfully dressed up today,
but your face don't say ya got a date...
My face...
I got it! Journalist sister!
Sister?
Known as the world's last
and fastest super express,
the Inazuma will soon be completed.
It will tie Tokyo, Osaka, and
Kitakyushu in three hours.
The maximum speed test run
at 450 km per hour
will be publicly held today with
invited media.
I'll do it! I swear!
Even if it places my life
on the line, yes.
I'll sneak onto this test run.
Hey!
Oh, I'm sorry.
-Hey!
-Shh!
Huh?
Fine then.
In return, discount ten yen.
Ten yen's too much!
Shh!
I only drank like five yen worth.
Cheapskate!
Tsk.
I wonder if I could use Ms. Yuriko
and find a way to sneak on.
I gotta get myself on this train or
Ken the Weasel ain't a man!
All right, strike while the iron is hot.
Hey, you!
Sorry, I got something to do today.
But you're only half finished!
That's why I won't charge ya!
Bloody fool! I'm an edokko!
Even if you are a Tokyo native, still...
Huh?
I'm not an edokko.
Really...
THE UNDERGROUND SUPER EXPRESS
GOES WEST
The train will depart in 15 minutes.
The Underground Express Inazuma
will begin its journey at 450 km per hour,
in just 15 minutes.
That's right, the incident happened
within these 15 minutes.
Excuse me. Excuse me.
Next, please look over here.
This device indicates the
current location of the train.
As one might guess from the nickname,
the Underground Express,
the Inazuma runs four-fifths of the way
from Tokyo to Kitakyushu underground.
This is because our country's terrain
dramatically varies in height.
Well, you may find yourself in
a tangerine farm right out the tunnel.
Now please, look over here.
This device is called the JFOME...
JFOME...
No, excuse me.
It is the JOFME.
No, excuse me. Its actually...
What?
The JFOME was actually correct.
And this J... device...
Therefore, even if an accident occurs
underground, it will be absolutely safe.
No, no. No, no.
So now, everyone, please look over here.
Huh?
Now everyone, this way.
I believe I have not explained everything
about the Inazuma super express yet.
There are still much, much more
I'd like to explain.
That being said,
we are now in the instant era.
I will give only
a very brief outline.
The Earth's last super express, Inazuma,
will soon arrive at this platform.
Now everyone, I will go to the control
room to operate everybody's Inazuma.
Please enjoy this 450 km per hour journey.
Hm?
No, it's fine. It's fine.
Now then.
Ow!
Wow...
Hey, let's go.
Awesome...
Please.
No, this way!
Ow!
So there's artificial life in that case,
in other words, the first life form
created by science?
Yes.
-Now, sign here.
-Yes.
However, it is still very unstable
and has many inconveniences.
Such as?
That artificial life,
which we call M1 for now,
is shoved into a high pressure
cylinder about this big.
If we don't, it causes cell division
immediately and grows rapidly.
Hm, what does it look like for example?
Who knows?
That's still our very first subject,
so I don't know that yet.
Oh, I see.
Its IQ is set near the human level.
Then if there were any
damage to that cylinder...
Hmm, it may get angry if its hurt.
I see.
Setting aside the jokes...
I'd like it transported to Osaka's lab
as soon as possible. Is that okay?
No problem, we have a jet delivery.
Would it be okay to check inside?
We want to handle it with care.
Yes, go ahead.
Okay.
You, this is...
Oh, this is ours...
You, I mean where's m-mine?
Darn ippei!
Um.
Oh, wait up!
Sorry for the delay.
By the way, I'm a photographer
for Mainichi Shimpo.
Um, there's a camera inside. Okay?
Huh?
Inazuma No. 1,
ten seconds 'til departure.
Ten seconds 'til departure.
Thrust, check.
Pressure, check.
No obstruction detected, check!
Oh, Ippei-kun!
Yo, Yuri-chan!
Launch.
Launch!
Accelerate 20%.
Pressure, minus 3 decipascal.
The work for humans ends here.
The Inazuma's Al will take care
of the rest and operate it.
Convenient, eh?
Man, that hurt.
Man, this hurts.
I had it bad too.
I got choked right at the throat.
Wow, wow!
Hey! There won't be any
ticket inspections, right?
Bloody fool! They won't do something
rude like that to the media they invited!
Shoes, shoes, shoes!
Cover me properly!
Button it right! H-H-Hurry!
Okay, keep quiet.
Get in.
We are currently at 450 km per hour.
Hey, Weasel! Watch your mouth.
No news reporter would say, "Get in."
I was born with a bad mouth!
-Then you talk yourself, Hechima!
-Ow! Ow, ow ow!
So, I disguised myself as
a Mainichi Shimpo photographer.
I even prepared a camera
and equipment in here.
-Oh.
-Huh?
What's this?
Oh, it's this. Excuse me.
What? Um... huh?
My thing...
Yes, rest assured.
They've reported that they found the case.
Well, it takes only three hours to
Kitakyushu with super speed.
Just in case we're requested to transport
emergency items such as serums,
we've prepared
an absolutely safe locker.
So there is no worry
of damaging the capsule.
Hey, hey, I heard Ms. Mainichi Shimpo.
Artificial life giving ya trouble.
I gotta get a photo too.
But Kawada-san,
you shouldn't use flash.
Don't worry about it.
It's fine! It's fine!
See? Nothing happened.
Ms. Mainichi Shimpo, go and take one.
I'll pass, I don't want to risk
ruining someone's research.
Passing Shizuoka beacon as scheduled.
We'll soon resurface.
Ah, good, good.
Now...
Awesome! So cool!
Right. Right.
Oh, hi.
Hi.
This isn't good. Hey.
Hey, if you only keep saying
left or right each time--
Hey, be more clear!
Hey!
Crap!
Oh, ow!
Oh, no! W-w-wait a second please...
You're choking me. Please wait!
Dammit, what a fast fellow.
Take that!
Ninja skill, Weasel Camouflage!
Inazuma No. 1, send a response signal
to Nagoya beacon!
Koyama-kun! Conductor Koyama!
Koyama-kun! The JFO...
JOF... JOF... d-device is showing trouble.
We're switching to manual!
Stop the train!
Koyama-kun, do you hear me?!
Amazing, the Inazuma is special all right.
The conductor's a robot!
But these scientists gotta do better,
wasn't there a better robot?
Hello!
What? It got taken over by a monster?
That's absurd!
Yes, it's completely taken over
and the Al is broken too.
Huh? We've tried turning on the
emergency brakes too, but...
Help... Oh, someone help.
H-Hey, Ippei-kun.
Huh?
Look. Look at that.
Oh!
This is our last resort.
Let's detach the passenger car
from the train.
But the train will run wild if we do that!
But everyone's lives will be spared.
They may be able to save the train
before it reaches Kitakyushi.
O Hachiman Great Bodhisattva!
I beseech your aid against my enemy.
-Thank goodness!
-Thank goodness!
Everyone, please stay calm.
The danger has passed.
Yes, Inazuma No. 2 is already
on its way to rescue us.
Hey, Weasel, it's okay now!
Come on out!
What?
Weasel's missing!
Oh, it's gone!
Help me!
Help!
This is Osaka beacon! Osaka beacon/
What? Did the brakes work?
/It's no use! The pressure brakes
don't work at all!
The train will reach
the Seto Inland Sea.
Hey, you! Yoshida-kun!
Hey! Hey!
Namu Amida Butsu!
Namu Amida Butsu!
Momma!
Hi.
-The situation on Kitakyushu.
-Yes, sir.
Even if it ran into this
buffer stop at 600 km per hour,
there's an 80% chance
we don't have to worry.
But you can't be proud of
an 80% success rate.
A child's life is on the line.
The 8.07 billion yen train that our blood
and sweat went into is also on the line.
Professor, if we save the train,
we save the child too.
In return, we also save
that monster too.
To prevent any danger, it will be killed.
Is that all right?
Of course it's fine.
I could recreate an M2 or an M3,
but I cannot recreate a child's life.
Can't we raise the chances
to save the child to 90%?
Maybe you've missed something?
We've taken all possible measures.
The rest we leave up to luck.
Just in case, please think it over.
Something small
may save the child's life.
But you know it's going to run in
at 600 km per hour.
Whatever we do,
nothing's going to be 100%.
Weasel-kun!
Do you hear me, Weasel-kun?
In one minute, the Inazuma will
run into the buffer stop! In a minute!
Is anywhere safe?
Stay calm and search one more time!
All right!
I'm an edokko!
I can spare a life or two!
You still got 40 seconds! Think!
Look around Weasel-kun!
You gotta survive!
Hang in there! Don't die!
Oh, he picked up! Weasel-kun?
Little boy?
What? Ou, ou?
What do you mean, ou, ou?
Who are you?!
Oh! I forgot about the safe!
The safe, made of a special metal,
was heat and shock resistant.
Why didn't I think of this! Gosh!
Wow...
I heard heaven had a lot of
lotuses, but there's stars everywhere.
Oh!
I am Seagull. I am Seagull.
