Urutora Q (1965–1967): Season 1, Episode 12 - I Saw a Bird - full transcript

ULTRA Q

It's gone.

This is strange.

-Oh!
-Oh!

Hey, let's go!

Who on earth broke all these cages?

No, wait. These cages are
broken from the inside.

Rather, we should think something
made all the animals go wild at once.

Oh! Is that...

Oh!

Let's go.



-Hey!
-Hey!

What happened?

Hey!

-Hey!
-Hey!

What happened?

Bird...

What?

I saw a bird.

What was the terror that disrupted
the sleeping zoo that morning?

And what kind of bird did
that unconscious man see?

I SAW A BIRD

Heave ho! Heave ho! Heave ho!

Heave ho! Heave ho!

Hey! A strange ship
is at the harbor!



Whoa! There it is!

Yeah, it is a weird ship.

Hup!

So when it was found, no one aboard?

When we went out to fish,
this was drifting like a ghost ship.

It surprised us!

This morning?

What time was it?
We usually fish before sunrise.

Yeah.

Oh, did I do something?

Phew, it's just Yuri-chan.
Don't scare us.

I can't read this at all.

Is this Greek? Or Egyptian?

Isn't this the logbook?

It's a bird.

-Watch out!
-Senpai

Jun-chan!

Watch out! Run!

-Yeah.
-Yes.

Hurry!

Hey, it's sinking!

Hey, it's sinking!

Oh, wait!

What's your name?

Coo”?

Oh, so you're called Kuro.

Kuro is odd for a white bird,
but oh well.

Looking at the date, it seems to have
been written 998 years ago.

Nine hundred ninety eight years?

The sea has rainstorms
as well as drifting ice.

That ship's been drifting at sea
without sinking for 1,000 years?

That's unbelievable.

Without meeting other ships.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

Or it leaped to the present
from the world 998 years ago.

By passing through
an unknown fourth dimension.

Another one of your
imaginary sci-fi stories?

If there's no other solution
to this mystery.

That's enough arguing.

We do not yet have enough data
within our hands to conclude

whether or not a fourth dimension exists.

Anyway, I was surprised
at this very last page.

This.

It only says "I saw a bird."

Then what that zoo keeper said...

Yes.

After 998 years,
the same words appeared twice.

Before that, it states things such as
the dates, weather, and trade records.

A very normal log.

That reminds me, that zoo keeper
died holding bird feathers.

Oh!

I remember!

What?

A bird! A bird!
The bird aboard the ship yesterday.

Come to think of it,
it was an odd bird.

Can you remember what
kind of bird it was?

Oh, this bird. This!

However, this existed
before the 3rd glacial period.

It's called Larugeus,
one of the ancestors of birds.

It looks similar,
especially this line of the neck.

It kind of looks like a finch too.

But this Larugeus is an enormous bird
that is 43 meters in total length.

That bird was not that big, correct?

Yeah.

But it does look like it.

Hm.

A finch wouldn't
fly above the ocean either.

Well, just read the rest.

"However, there's record of
a flock of the supposedly extinct birds

appearing at a city in western
India during the mid 10th century."

Mid 10th century means...

That is the era of the ship
you all found sailing on the sea.

This is very creepy.

An ancient bird appears
in the 10th century,

and a 10th century ship
appears in the present.

Could this be...

Maybe that bird was...

The bird was what?

Maybe it came to the
present with that ship.

It can't be.

Kuro!

One day I'll go...
Some place far!

I'm gonna be a king!

I'll bring along a hundred of my men,

then I will lively set sail!

Kuro, where did you come from?

I wish I had wings like yours.

Go!

Oh... Kuro!

I'm coming!

Good night, Kuro.

Kuro, where did you go yesterday?
I was really worried.

Hey, there's blood.
What happened to you?

What happened?

Oh.

Saburo, we looked all over for you.

Why'd you steal the ship, huh?

I just wanted to come here!

L-Let go of me!

If you don't come back,
we're gonna leave you.

Wait!

Ow! Let go!

No, no! Let go!

Wait, you brat!

I said let go!

What's wrong? What happened?

Hey, a bird!

Kuro, get 'em!

Hooray!

Take that!

Hooray!

Serves you right!

Hooray!

-A bird?
-They said it looked like an eagle.

It seems Saburo's living with a bird.

We've had a weird ship and a bird come.
What's going on lately?

-We should tell the resident officer.
-Yeah, yeah.

Yes, yes.

Yes.

-The Minato Police Department.
-Police?

Yes.

Yes, it's me.

What? A bird? Yes.

You should carefully
quarantine it.

That's right.

Now then.

I had my doubts,
but your fears have come true.

Oops.

Senpai, wait up! Hup!

Oww.

-Hey, ain't that Saburo?
-You're right.

Let's go.

That's the bird.

A small bird like that?

Watch out! Watch out!

Policemen, we're countin' on ya!

Hand over the bird!

No...

Give it here!

No!

Kuro!

Kuro!

-Move out!
-Kuro!

Kuro!

Kuro!

Kuro!

Hey boy, that bird is a monster that
grows up to 40 meters called Larugeus!

It can't live with you forever.
Yesterday too...

-Hey, boy!
-Kuro!

Kuro!

Kuro!

Kuro!

PRISON CELL NO. 2

Emergency!

Hey boy, want some caramel?

Oh!

Watch out, boy!
Get down!

Get down!

Oh, Kuro! It's Kuro!

Hey, boy!

Kuro!

Kuro!

Kuro!

Kuro!

Kuro!

Kuro!

Kuro! Take me with you!

Goodbye.

Goodbye!

Goodbye!!
