ULTRA Q
One zero three zero,
approach runway No. 4.
The skies are clear. What a nice season.
Wanna go for a weekend drive?
-Yeah.
-Okay, let's switch.
Yeah...
Hm?
This is 1030/ This is 1030/
The flaps will not move!
Unable to land!
Ahh! No/
What happened?!
Hey!
Oh!
Emergency!
Radars down.
Radars down.
The airport is inoperable
due to sudden freeze!
Are you insane? Right now--
I am not insane!
Anyway, this place turned into midwinter!
It's true! It's really true!
If you come to the airport you'll see!
The jets and radars
all have icicles hanging!
TOKYO ICE AGE
Once in 10,000 years,
it is said an abnormally
cold year would hit Earth.
If it suddenly started to snow and water
began to freeze on a midsummer day,
what would that be a sign of?
Today is about a cold, cold winter tale
that occurred in the middle of summer.
Even if we're low on news, photos of
pedestrians won't make an article.
My target is the Sunday papers.
What do travelers nowadays
come to this city for?
Huh... great idea. W-Wait!
The poet Rilke once said,
"Here, then, is where people come to live;
I'd have thought it more
a place to die in."
Tokyo is some bitter sugar.
Understand?
I'd like to change this bitter place,
so I can survive as a reporter.
Now goodbye!
Hey, wait!
Oww.
Hey!
Lady, I was wondering when you'd fall,
but you fell at last.
My, what did you say?!
Ow, ow, ow.
Don't worry, your bones
should be fine at that level.
Who are you making fun of grownups?
What do you want?
Oh yeah, I'm looking for
Mainichi Shimpo Newspaper.
Mainichi Shimpo?
You're a reporter, so you'd know, right?
Don't be mean and tell me.
I do know.
So what do you want?
I'm looking for my dad. He left to work
half a year ago and hasn't returned since.
I came from Akita.
Ah... that's why you can't go home, so
you want the papers to make this big news.
The resident officer told me too,
"Your dad'|| be surprised and come out."
Hey!
Hm, this might be actually good.
"3,000 Miles to Find Father."
My story will be read worldwide,
giving tears to 2.6 billion readers.
Hurry, come up,
I got a cab waiting.
Huh?
"Jewel Robbery at Ginza,
7 million Yen Diamond Stolen."
Whatever.
"South Pole Development Progress.
American-Soviet Uranium Ore Mining Race.
Red Flag On Overheated South Pole."
Ippei!
Huh?
Hey, we got work.
Oh, y-yes.
Oh, Senpai.
Hm?
Why's it bad if the South Pole gets warm?
If the polar ice melts, the world's sea
level rises and this area becomes the sea.
Hup.
-Oh?
-Huh?
What the...
Hello?
This is a problem.
He won't wake up.
Wonder what happened?
He's an alcoholic.
-Let's carry him to the office.
-Okay.
Hup. He's heavy.
Hup.
Hey, wait a sec.
What?
What's this?
Lemme see.
It's a seasonal labor handbook.
A seasonal labor handbook?
Yeah.
Which means he comes to the city to only
work during the agricultural off-season.
Really. Then why was he napping
in a place like this?
Yeah...
Comfortably too.
Why was he asleep...
Where have you been
all this time? Napping?
I told you, interviewing.
-Interviewing?
-Yes.
Interviewing who?
Um... a boy who's looking for his long
lost father who left home. A moving story.
You haven't gone home for a week from
that one case too, right?
Your son must be worried--
Idiot!
Haneda Airport became frozen!
What're you poking into
at a time like this?!
Yes, sir.
Well, fine. Who and where is this boy?
This... h-huh?
Um, well...
It's fine if you get it.
-You go find the cause of Haneda's freeze.
-Yes, sir.
The others went to the academics.
Oh yeah, then maybe you can go find
an explorer that's been to a cold land.
An explorer...
That's it!
It's down to five degrees.
That guy's face...
Hm?
I've seen him before...
Where was it from?
Maybe he's a plane thief.
That's it.
But if that were true,
he wouldn't drink 'til he fell asleep.
Anyway, what's up with this cold?
It's so cold!
Jun-chan, tell me why it's so cold.
Don't ask me, I'm no meteorologist.
Oh, it's okay. The boss told me to ask
for a hint from a polar explorer.
Oh yeah, you went to
the South Pole a year ago.
Yeah.
There's been one thing bothering me.
What is it?
Peguila in the South Pole.
-Peguila?
-Yeah.
That freezing monster.
But it only lives in
very cold places, right?
Since the south got too warm,
maybe it's moving to the North Pole.
So then it dropped by Tokyo?
I hope not.
Okay.
Hello? Oh, Boss?
This is Yuriko.
The hint of the cause.
Yes, it's Peguila.
Peguila?
That's already been killed, right?
It's okay, we found the cause.
The ice melted from a nuclear plant
explosion in the South Pole,
and a swarm of glaciers moved
up north along with a cold wave.
Yeah.
Australia, Indonesia, and the
Philippines all got hit in a row.
But...
Well, you just find that child looking for
his father and write a good story on that.
Got that? The child, okay?
Oh...
Now he says the child.
Oh yeah!
My.
-I told you I don't know.
-Hey!
Oh, lady! Where'd you go?
You too, where'd you disappear to?
I'm...
I get it, I get It. Here, come.
Teruo Sawamura, 50 years old.
Came to Tokyo half a year ago for work.
So where did he work?
I don't know.
You don't know?
Then what did he do in the countryside?
He was a Zero Fighter pilot
a long time ago.
I love it! This'll make a great story.
Former famous pilot, now a migrant worker.
But his downside is that he drinks.
Whoa, watch out! Run!
What happened? What's going on? Huh?
It's Peguila. It was Peguila after all.
Peguila... That thing?
That caused the cold wave?
Hey, the evening paper's deadline!
Hurry, hurry!
How do you stop that thing?!
We need Peguimin H!
That's what Jun-chan said.
A substance only from the moss
of the South Pole.
Peguimin H...
Hey, research team go! Hideyama!
Y-Yes!
What are you waiting for?
Find the Peguimin H! Hurry!
Y-Y-Yes. B-But I can't stand up... and...
Wow, Peguila's amazing!
Peguimin H isn't approved by the academic
society, so it's not usable?
However, Peguila is already...
Jeez, city hall's system is unacceptable.
Fine, we'll take Peguila
into our own hands.
Oh, hello? Hoshikawa Airlines?
What? The phone lines are out of service?
I wonder if the authorities
came up with a plan.
By the time Peguimin H gets approved,
Tokyo will be finished.
Let's just get Manjome-kun to fly ASAP.
To think it's at the Polar Plant
Research Center at the Japanese Alps.
Hey, is it ready yet?
-Gimme it.
-Yes, sir.
This is News Car No.3,
News Car No.3. Over.
First the phones, now this.
Hello?
Tsk, it's still out.
That's strange.
Something must've happened in the city.
Then it must be Peguila.
Yeah.
Hey ippei, try once more.
Okay.
Hello?
Hello?
It's no good.
Dammit.
That's weird. Okay.
Hello?
Hello? Hello?
Oh, god!
Help, Momma!
Help!
It's a bad habit. I was tired, so I drank
too much and knocked out.
But I'm borrowing your plane.
That's useless,
they'll catch you once you land.
If I got a plane, I won't
get caught by any youngster.
Oh... you're what's left of that
legendary pilot, Captain Sawamura!
Shut up! I'm just a jewelry thief.
-I'm off then.
-No!
Here! It's right here!
I told ya, I'm not!
-Looks like we're at least alive.
-Yeah.
Aw, I got hungry again.
No good, the engine won't start.
Of course!
We're sandwiched by ice and concrete!
Fine then, let's escape.
Hup! Hup! It won't open.
Okay, hey push.
Heave ho! Heave ho!
Oww! Oww!
Hey wait, wait.
Let's switch, here.
Push!
Heave ho! Heave ho! Heave ho!
No good.
So there are things you can't do.
Idiot, this is no time for jokes.
Now think!
Hey, Mister.
Huh?
I can get through there.
Oh, why didn't you tell me sooner.
Here, go call for help.
Oh, go to Hoshikawa Airlines
before that, okay? Go.
We're counting on you. It's...
Straight. Just aim for the
Tama River, okay? Please.
-Okay, leave it to me!
-Okay.
-Bye!
-Okay.
We're counting on you!
Oh!
Hoshikawa Airlines! Hoshikawa Airlines/
Manjome-kun, do you hear me?
We're wiped out by Peguila here.
If you hear us--
Don't move!
Oh!
Darn it!
If you take that plane, a few hundred
thousand people will be in trouble.
Please understand, Sawamura-san!
Hmph, what do I care.
Tokyo can turn into an ice cube. It'll
be more livable when it's sterilized.
Then I'll see ya!
Oh!
Hey, boy! Little boy!
Hey, hang on!
Oh, Haruo!
You know this child?
Hey!
Hurry...
The Polar Plant Research Center...
in the Japanese Alps.
Haruo! Hey, hang in there!
Hey, Haruo! Hey!
Hurry...
Peguila... defeat him...
What?
Hey... Haruo!
So it was Peguila.
Save... the reporter lady...
What? The reporter lady?
Hey, t-take this child! Watch this child!
-Oh, Ippei!
-Yeah.
Get the heat going! Look after him!
Yes, sir.
Hey! Wait!
Wha... What are you doing?!
Idiot! You still don't get it?!
Let me go to the Japanese Alps!
You?
Hey, you stay by the child!
Look at that sky!
Oh...
Only I could fly through that weather.
Careful, it's mixed with explosives.
Okay.
Oh!
Okay...
Okay!
Haruo...
Come for a ride again.
Yeah, thanks.
-Come again, boy.
-Yeah.
Be careful.
You too, lady.
You!
See you.
-Goodbye!
-Stay well.
Goodbye!
Come visit again! Goodbye!
-Goodbye!
-Goodbye!
Goodbye, come again!
-Goodbye!
-Goodbye!
-Goodbye!
-Goodbye!
-Goodbye!
-Goodbye!
Goodbye!
