Urutora Q (1965–1967): Season 1, Episode 13 - Garadama - full transcript

ULTRA Q

-Hey!
-What?

If you'd like to, c'mon!

Sure! Let's go!

Yeah.

Heave ho! Heave ho!
Heave ho! Heave ho!

-C'mon!
-All right!

Stop! Stop! Stop!

Hey, stop!

Hup.

What is it?



-C'mon, don't touch it!
-It's bumpy!

Sensei Sensei

C'mon, stop! Don't touch it!

I told ya to stop!

-What's wrong, everyone?
-Stop!

Oh, Sensei!

I went to collect firewood at Yumigadani
and then this fell from the sky.

From the sky?

-C'mon, stop! Don't touch it!
-Why not?

It really fell from the sky?

It's not a lie, Sensei
I saw it with my own eyes!

-It's a rock.
-It's real.

Look! It's this light!

It's that light?



That's light!

Oki sensei. Is this a meteorite?

No, it isn't. It consists of iron,
but it's not like normal meteoric iron.

But it fell from the sky, right?

Yeah.

It's so light.

No, it's too light.

Hey Mamoru, how did it fall?

Hmm, it came floating down.

Floating down?

Like this?

Uh-uh.

Like this.

Isn't there anything besides
meteorites and meteoric iron?

Hmm.

It can't be a piece of satellite either.

At the time, a Dellinger effect unrelated
to sunspots had been taking place,

causing a fadeout of shortwave
communication in various regions.

Regional observatories and
Radio Wave Monitoring Stations

were desperately trying to find
the abnormality in the ionosphere.

GARADAMA

Well, it is a very rare object.

Oh, please sit down.

It is a type of aluminum silicate
melted by abnormally high heat.

A glass crystalloid.

Aluminum silicate?

It was just found in the Libyan desert,

and is a type of mineral similar to
a mineral named Tilsonite.

It was a big topic in the academic society
because it's a substance from space.

It is an alloy with superior traits
way beyond our imagination.

You're saying that this object is
made by the hands of aliens?

Yes... It would be
appropriate to think so.

Professor, please come for a moment.

Please look at the oscillograph.

It's ultra high frequency.

Ah...

Is it being emitted from the object?

Yes.

Ueda-kun, contact the Radio Wave
Monitoring Station so they don't panic.

Yes, sir.

Professor, to where are they
transmitting and what?

We'll know once we take it apart.

No, let's observe it for a while.
Where did this object fall?

It's in the Mikuni Mountains
called Yumigadani.

Can you guide me?
Maybe we can find a clue.

Professor!

Professor! The radio wave disappeared!

Oh?

Oh, Professor. That's Yumigadani.

Oh...

It's near the dam.

It's always been a mecca for
lightning and Garadamas.

Hmm.

Garadama?

That's what the locals call meteors.

Manjome-kun, can we land close by?

Yes, sir.

Hey, a helicopter!

Hey, you're right.

Oh, Sensei!

Mamoru, he's a professor in Tokyo.

-He's the discoverer.
-Hello.

Oh. Will you take me to where
you found the Garadama?

Okay.

What's a meteorite?

Hm?

It is what's left of a shooting star that
doesn't burn up and make it to Earth.

And there are many meteors and
shooting stars flying out in space.

Why don't they hit Earth?

Well, watch me.

How many stones do you
think hit that rock?

Two or three.

Space is much, much bigger,

so the chances of being hit
would be much, much less.

In addition, Earth is surrounded
by a thick layer of air,

so before meteors even make it to Earth,
most burn up from frictional heat.

Understand?

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

It's hard to believe
there is a village under this dam.

For people who don't know the past,
that's normal. It's changed so much.

Ayako, where was your house?

I think it was near
the right side of that gorge.

It was a rather big house
surrounded by a white earthen wall.

There was a big pine tree
near the storehouse.

A girl who was the same age as myself
named Yae lived next door.

She would always joke around
and call me a "lone pine."

Let's take a picture.
Stand over there.

The boat's about to leave. Let's go.

Okay.

Are we there yet?

Almost. Just follow me.

This way! This way!

Here, this is it.

This? It's very small.

Manjome-kun, check if there are
any pieces of it nearby.

Yes, sir.

Oh! I found one!

Hm?

Idiot! That's just a rock.

Tsk.

Oh, I can see it.

Look, that's where the storehouse was.

You're right.

See? I told you.

It reminds me of my childhood!

Look.

Oh!

What?

What's wrong?

It's a Garadama!

-It's coming this way!
-Do something!

-I'm scared!
-Watch out!

Hurry, c'mon!

The dam's broken!

This is a serious problem.

That was a huge Garadama.

I thought the sun came falling.

Anyhow, let's go.

We need to get the kids home.

If we head downstream,
maybe we can cross over.

That's true. Let's do what we can.

Their parents must be worried.

Please be careful.

Yes. Okay, let's go.

It would help if we could contact the lab.

Manjome-kun, try contacting them
from one of the houses nearby.

Yes, I'll try.

Oh, Senpai.

If you contact Yuri-chan too,
she'll be delighted.

You're right.

We should call her and have her handle
the rest concerning the lab.

Yeah.

I'd like to observe the dam
from a better point.

-Oh, let's go there.
-Ohh.

Hey, you okay?

Oh, we're too late, Sensei!.

There's one down there too.

Let's try there.

Hey, there's a ship there!

The meteor falling into the dam
must have washed it up there.

I hope no one's on it.

Ayako!

Ayako!

Are you all right?

What on earth happened?

I think the last thing I saw
was some sort of light.

Where are we?

We're in trouble. Look!

Yes, Mainichi Shimpo.

Yuri-chan.

Oh, thanks.

Hello? Ah, Jun-chan.

You sound far away. Where are you?

What? What fell in the dam?

A big meteor?

Well, there was a small quake
about ten minutes ago.

Okay, got it.

I'm going to
Tonan University's physics lab.

What?

Physics lab?

I left the lab to Yuri-chan.

Manjome-kun, look.

Does that look like
an ordinary meteorite to you?

It is probably made of the same
Tilsonite that fell three days ago.

The color after it melts is identical.

Professor, there's someone
inside the ship!

Oh! There's a ship up there!

Yes.

It probably got blown there
by the meteor's impact.

There's two! Let's go rescue them!

Okay.

Senpai, you think it's okay?

Yeah...

Anyway, we gotta save them.

Ueda-san!

Ueda-san!

What's the matter?

It's odd, the intervals stopped.

I wonder why?

Intervals?

Earlier, it was transmitting
every ten minutes.

Oh, I didn't hear about the radio waves.

People would panic if they knew
radio waves were being emitted.

What? You should reveal the truth.

Since a large meteor has
fallen into the dam too.

A mysterious ionosphere disturbance.
Strange radio waves. A huge meteor.

I think there's a connection
to these series of facts.

You sound just like a journalist.

We put value in logic.

Don't jump the gun.

Hey, did you hear the news flash?

Don't be shocked. It seems a monster
came out of the dam's meteorite.

Oh, we're finished.

No!

Someone please! Help us!

Help us!

-Are you okay?
-Ouch.

-Help!
-Someone please!

-Help!
-Someone!

Are you okay?

We're coming!

Senpai, hurry!

Hurry, climb up.

-Quickly!
-Hurry!

Keep climbing!

Faster!

Senpai, hurry! Hurry!

C'mon, climb faster!

Hurry! Hurry up!

Hurry!

Hurry!

Senpai, hurry!

That's it! That monster at Kumagaya Dam
and these strange waves are connected.

Young lady, you must really
like mystery novels.

It's not logical, but it's possible.

The monster came out after the strange
waves started emitting fast, right?

These waves are probably
controlling the monster.

Control, eh?

Manjome-kun.

Yes?

Check if anything odd occurred with
the object emitting the strange waves.

It may be connected
to that monster.

What did you say?

Connected to that monster?

We can assume the capsule that
carried the monster was made of Tilsonite.

It is the product of aliens with a more
advanced civilization and IQ than humans.

They first sent an electronic brain
in their place to command the monster.

Then they launched the monster.

Then that would mean the
monster is some type of robot.

What's its purpose?

Hm.

It's a different story than us launching
a dog or monkey into space.

An Earth invasion?

Wonder what's wrong?

It's no use.

How about here?

If this doesn't work,
then taking it apart is impossible.

This isn't good.

What should we do?

Isn't there a way to block the waves?

Ohh.

It's heading towards the dam.

No, it's heading to where
the electronic brain is.

Which means, we should assume
it's heading to Tokyo.

Oh! The dam's gonna get attacked!

What is this?

A radio wave shielding net.

Oh, it disappeared!

This is not the end of the
monster's invasion of Earth.

Even if
the electronic brain is destroyed,

the aliens may launch
a second or third attack again.

THE END
