Urutora Q (1965–1967): Season 1, Episode 19 - Challenge from the Year 2020 - full transcript
ULTRA Q
Air defense directive No. 103,
prepare to launch patrol aircraft.
Target is an unidentified flying object.
Takeoff!
I never thought people who talk about
flying saucers would matter to me.
Until now.
Lieutenant Colonel Amano.
So you want us to believe this fantasy
of how a flying saucer struck down
the jet patrol aircrafts then flew off?
What we're sure of is that something came,
the two patrol aircrafts crashed,
and that flying object flew away
or disappeared.
With our knowledge...
However, everyone,
I'm sure you would believe him.
There was definitely an odd
flying object on the radar,
and you've seen the jets actually
crash info something invisible.
CHALLENGE FROM THE YEAR 2020
He disappeared!
That guy that just jumped from there
disappeared halfway.
Like faded out.
As an image that sounds quite amusing.
Not as an image! He really did disappear!
He vanished.
Yot-chan!
I'll come down right now.
Okay.
Here, please.
Senpai, isn't there something
more refreshing?
Like an incident that'll
make a good photo?
I'm sick of leisure photos.
Don't be snotty, you're a novice.
Yes, ma'am.
Yes, yes. Yes.
She disappeared.
Tomoda-kun, you saw it, right?
I did, I saw it.
She disappeared?
She disappeared!
Do you have ten yen?
Huh?
I do.
Boss, first tell me that
you'll believe me.
What are you saying? Believe you?
What kind of news are--
It's a scoop! A person disappeared!
A scoop? A scoop doesn't exist!
How long have y--
Boss, you're hard-headed!
You cold-hearted tyrant!
I see.
So the two that no one believes
suddenly shows up at my place?
Jun-chan, let me ask you just in case,
but you do believe my story, right?
Or I won't tell you any more,
since you'll just laugh.
W-W-Wait! Of course.
We believe you, right Senpai?
Well, I don't know.
All right! Whether Senpai believes
you or not, I believe you!
So, Yuri-chan, what's after that?
If you don't believe the model
or the jet vanishing case...
Listen, then what about these facts?
First, this article.
The swimmer, Yamauchi, went missing while
he practiced diving at the Sunlight Pool.
They started investigating it
as a possible murder case,
but how could anyone move him in a
swimsuit without someone looking?
I see.
There's a 24-year-old man who went missing
at a villa at Higurashi Highland.
Look at his girlfriend's comment,
"It was such a mysterious incident.
It's like he disappeared before my eyes."
-How 'bout it?
-Wait.
I see.
Another thing. This.
A sports car is left on Highway No.1.
That's one pretty penny to
forget in this recession.
I see, I see, I see!
According to your speculation,
they're all by the same suspect, right?
As a concept, it's very broad.
This can become a good book, Yuri-chan.
A book?
In addition, if you made the guy on that
strange flying saucer Amano-san saw
the suspect or a bizarre
plot like that, it'll be like...
You know that story that
crazy professor wrote?
Oh, it'll be like that strange novel,
Challenge from the year 2020
A novel?
Y-You're not...
Seriously?
Amano, let's go. To the place where
that saucer-like thing disappeared.
That's why you came to me, right?
Oh, Senpai Wait up!
You can go read a space war book.
Oh, Yuri-chan!
If you want, hey... I can lend a hand in
searching for the vanished people?
I'll be fine.
Tsk.
Oh! Hey!
It's around here.
Yeah.
Let's drop a bit lower.
So there was nothing.
I was tired then.
The radar was broken.
It's not your fault.
Thanks. It makes me feel
a little better to hear that.
Should we head back?
Yeah.
Now, I need to solve the problems of
the imaginative female photographer.
Yeah.
Oh?
Tomoda-kun!
Tomoda-kun?
Where did he go?
Oh, excuse me!
I got an urgent job, sorry.
My.
Hmm.
Hm?
Wait, what's this?
This is the liquid, Seki-san.
Right after Manjome-kun disappeared,
I saw something like this!
So this is a liquid that
erases people?
The suspect aimed for these negatives!
That's why Tomoda-kun
vanished in the dark room.
Then, Watanabe-san--
Vanished in your place, Edogawa-kun.
Don't say it so bluntly. That's scary.
-Seki-san.
-Hm?
If we don't find the suspect and
stop this, it'll become a disaster.
Well, I'm well aware of that.
But it's such a sudden case
and the main witnesses are, um...
Amano-san has been dismissed
by the radar case.
And nobody would believe a person
like me anyway, right Boss?
But I've already made a move.
I'm having the local news section
secretly look for witnesses too.
And after explaining this to the police,
we got a skilled detective to
become your bodyguard.
Oh!
Oh, excuse me.
No, no.
Oh, um, wait! Are you Yuriko Edogawa?
Yes.
I'm Udagawa from the police department.
We have similar names,
so let's be good to each other.
Huh...
Sheesh.
Yeah. The thing is, Ippei-kun...
He's no bodyguard,
he's a withering old detective.
Ahem! Anyway, are there
any clues on Jun-chan?
What? Challenge from the year 20207
Ippei-kun, you're still reading that book?
What do ya mean "that book," Yuri-chan?
Everything is happening exactly
like this book!
They're identical!
Plus, Professor Kanda says
this isn't a novel.
It's a telepathic record of him
talking with the Kemur
while experimenting on the
X Channel Light Wave! Yeah.
Kemur?
Ippei-kun, this isn't the time to be
reading something written by a mad man.
Which means that Erasing Energy
Source Liquid is flammable,
and it is operated by the Kemur's will.
Yuri-chan?
Are you listening?
Yuri-chan!
Oh!
Stop! Stop!
How terrible.
It's just like Kanda-kun said.
Kanda-san?
The Professor Kanda of
Challenge from the year 20207
Kanda-kun was my best friend.
But I'm the one who sent him
to the mental hospital.
He was the best in electronic engineering,
but he was haunted by a horrible belief.
And he mixed that with reality
in his presentations.
I'm sorry, Udagawa-san.
What's this suddenly?
I said you were
a withering old detective...
I may not be young, but that
"withering" was a bit extra.
Udagawa-san, please tell me.
What happened to those who disappeared?
Is Jun-chan okay?
If it were just as
Kanda-kun's book says...
Planet Kemur.
Which means, right now,
he would've been sent to a planet
that is in the future year 2020.
-Oh.
—Huh'?
Oh! Hey, you! Hey!
A 500-year-old creature?
Yes, with phenomenal
development in medicine.
Implants, artificial blood,
and special regenerative particles
were invented resulting in
such a life span.
But one thing, the weakening of the body,
was something they couldn't stop.
That's when the Kemur set their eyes
on Earth's young bodies.
Hmm, so they came to the point of
transferring themselves into human bodies.
And the people who vanished?
You know how you transmit a photo?
The principle seems similar to that.
You get transmitted the second
you touch the Erasing Energy Source.
I'll believe Professor Kanda.
Of all the strange cases that happened,
not one differed from his theory.
But Amano-san, there are some people
who say Professor Kanda was released
only because modern psychiatry
couldn't even heal him.
Hmm.
Let's hurry.
Whether he's odd or mad, we've no choice
but to depend on him right now.
Oh?
You've come to?
Now, you should get home.
I'll have someone guide you.
I'll be fine.
If I don't become the bait, the Kemur...
No, your mission has ended. I should be
worth targeting now too.
But!
Don't worry, we'll take care
of it somehow by tonight.
Oh? Oh? Oh?
Oh!
Crap. We were a step too late.
He vanished while he was
calculating something.
Dammit!
Senpai... we're in a pinch.
Ippei-kun, do you know what a K-miniod is?
Did you say K-miniod?
The professor's sample is here.
The K-miniod's completed? Hooray!
Hey, Ippei-kun.
It gives off the X Channel Light Wave!
Say what?
Where am |7
Who's there?
Oh, Jun-chan!
Oh, no! You mustn't go!
Help!
But even if we take this to Tokyo Tower,
would they turn on the
X Channel Light Waves for us?
Before they believe us,
they might call the mental hospital first.
Hmm.
We should've asked to have
a police car for support.
Aim for the head!
Anywhere besides the head's useless!
Oh! I got him!
Amano-san! The K-miniod's a success!
Yeah!
Now, please launch it.
Yes.
Oh, what's that?
Oh... Jun-chan!
Yuri-chan!
Hey!
Yuri-chan, what's the matter?
Hey, Yuri-chan! Wait!
Now then.
It's probably okay.
Whoa! I've disappeared!
Whoa! It's gone!
Help me!
