Urutora Q (1965–1967): Season 1, Episode 2 - Gorou to Gorô - full transcript

ULTRA Q

Awashima Kaijo Ropeway is
the only paradise in Japan

to have a sweeping view
of the Shizura bay.

Also, the wild monkeys of Awashima
originally lived on Mount Amagi.

However, because this area became
a fortified zone during war,

they migrated to this
island to escape human hands.

Today, they are said to be
over a few hundred in number.

They entertain all the
visitors of the island

and fishermen who pass by the shores.

Um, hello? Hello?

Back up! Back up please!



Roger.

There are times when thyroid
hormones become unbalanced,

causing an abnormal
growth spurt in us, humans, as well.

That's right. This is a terrifying world
where everything is unbalanced.

For the next 30 minutes, you'll
experience a parting of mind from body

and become swallowed
into this mysterious time.

EXIT

AWASHIMA ROPEWAY

GORO AND GORO

Hot! Hot! Hot!

Good.

It's been half a month.
The mountains sure are nice.

Thinking of being stuck here for
another two months makes me sick.

Will you taste this fresh air?



Can't understand the people
who live inhaling smog.

Really?

I already miss the sea of neon lights.

You liar.

You just miss the mermaids who live
in that sea of neon lights. Right?

You got me there.

Okay, shall we get to work?

Yeah.

-Let's.
-Yeah.

Goro! Goro!

Hey, Goro. Come here!

What's wrong?

The chemicals are ransacked.

What?

Goro, come here!
I said come! Goro!

Come, dammit. Get in there!

What were you doing? Did you do it?

What? Then who did?

You were the only one here
the past 10 days!

You--

Hey, wait!
It seems like the monkeys did this.

Look, footprints. See?

Darn wild monkeys!

Dammit.

You're 19 and you can't even
watch over things?

WILD MONKEY RESEARCH LAB

Monkey Boy, why ya in a rush?

Something happen to your
favorite monkey, Goro?

Hey, Matsuzaki.
The Aoba walnut potions are empty.

What? The Aoba walnut potions?

Yeah, look.

Did the monkeys do this?

Hmm, that's highly probable.

Look at how they opened it.

There was 300 in here.

-Yeah.
-Hey.

If that's true, this is urgent.

Is anyone home?

Professors of the lab!

Yeah.

Hi, did you hear?

Huh? About what?

A giant monkey appeared
at Awashima's ropeway.

What?

Hey, look.

What?

What's this?

"Elyan Island is a primitive place
far from civilization,

but peaceful like Eden."

What's she wearing?

"Lots of fruits grow in the jungle
like bananas, mangos, papayas,

and there are also many
rare animals living here."

"By the way,

an orangutan that looked just like
Ippei-kun appeared at our camp yesterday."

Huh? An orangutan?

"I caught myself talking to it,
because it looked just like him."

She says.

Whatever!

You too!

Don't get mad. Her head's in
the clouds of the South Seas.

When she gets back, I'll throw
some ice water over it.

"The search for ex-Japanese soldiers
continues daily throughout the jungle,

but there has been no clues so far.

Some seem to have completely given up.

But please don't tell this to our boss.

If I complain, he gets angry like
a gorilla with his tail lit on fire."

Hey, ya lovebirds.

Hey, the gorilla.

Gorilla?

Not a gorilla. It's a monkey!

A monster monkey!

What?

Hm?

What are you dawdling for?
The helicopter! Helicopter!

Boss, you're covering it yourself?

Idiot! There's no boss or
subordinate in newspaper work.

Umm... here!

Who did this?

Everyone, hey!
There's a monkey! Hey!

Emergency! Hey!
A monkey this huge is loose!

Hey, there it is!

Look!

I see, it's more like a monster
than a monkey.

Okay, aim for a good shot.

Hey, lower the altitude. More.

Yes! We got a masterpiece!

Hey, land nearby.

Take one from the front.
A closeup of its face.

-That's reckless.
-It's okay, it's okay.

Hey, land near there.
Hey pilot, over there!

Senpai. Let's go home, Senpai

Goro!

Goro!

-Where'd he go?
-Yeah.

Hm? What's the matter?

There's a huge monkey holding a young man
and he's about to get crushed!

-A young man?
-Yes.

I'm sure he had on a straw hat.

-It's Goro.
-Yeah.

You should hurry and call the police
or else that Goro's life is in danger.

If it's about that, he's fine.

Fine? What do you mean?

It means Goro is that
giant monkey's foster parent.

-Foster parent?
-Yes.

Meaning?

He works as a caretaker at our lab,
but he's a severe monkey maniac.

Even the villagers call him Monkey Boy.

Monkey Boy?

He was the son of a charcoal maker
on Mount Amagi before,

but his parents died when he was young,
so he basically grew up with monkeys.

That's why he's friends
with that Goro too.

Goro?
The monkey's name is Goro too?

So Monkey Boy's real name was
taken by the monkey.

"A Tale of a Lonesome Young Man
and His Friendship"

-Boss, we're the only ones with a photo.
-Yep.

It's a major hit in a while.

This article gives me the tears.

"A Tale of a Lonesome Young Man
and His Friendship."

A report covered by the boss himself.

The veterans sure are different.

No need to flatter me,
its on me tonight.

Now we're talking!

I've returned, everyone.

Ohh, welcome back.

I got a masterpiece. A masterpiece!

Let's see it! C'mon!

W-w-w-w-wait a second.
I'll go develop it right now.

Oh, Boss. I've just returned.

Ah, where's Edogawa-kun?

Well, she said to say hi to you
and left earlier.

Really. The only place she'd pop up
before coming to me would be...

Yes?

This is Hoshikawa Airlines.

Yes.

-Yuri-chan.
-Yes.

Oh, thanks.

Hello? It's me.

What? Work already?

What did you say? A giant monkey?

Yes, I understand.

Giant monkey?

That's what's shaking up
Japan right now.

It's not that.

There was a huge monkey at
Elyan Island too.

No matter.

Now, fly me.
It's my first story since I returned.

Hey.

Yeah.

-You bastard!
-Damn Monkey Boy!

You can food thief!

-Hey, stop!
-Quit it!

-Stop it!
-Stop!

Stop it! Stop!

Who are you guys?

Who cares who we are!

We can't just watch someone
get beat up by a crowd.

What did this man do to you?

He ransacks the tangerines and
sweet potato fields! We can't take this!

You big thief!

And today, he was trying to steal
cans from the JA's storage!

Hey, Monkey Boy. Why collect so much food
like Benkei collecting swords?

Monkey Boy?

Hey, get him!

-Ya bastard!
-Stop!

-Stop!
-Stop it!

Stop it!

You, it's obvious everyone will get angry.

Why do you steal from others?

Oh, it's no use asking him anything.

It's not like the mute could talk!

Oh, they're here!

Oh, police.

SHIZUOKA-KEN POLICE

I hope you all didn't do
anything rough.

C'mon, stand up.

Hold still!

Calm down! I said calm down!

Hold still! Stay calm!

Wasn't Monkey Boy stealing food for Goro?

Yeah.

I can kind of understand why
he likes monkeys more.

Oh, watch out.

Hi, thanks for the other day.

Need a lift?
We're going the same way.

Yes.

Go ahead.

Oh, thank you.

Okay, thanks.

Boss, look at this.

They're nice, huh?

Yeah.

The burning sun,
the wind ridden palm trees,

and the beautiful island girls.

Ah, the island of Eden!

This's nice!

Hm?

Hey, what's this photo?

Oh, that's the huge monkey
Yuri-chan took at Elyan Island.

What?

That is some monkey!

The islanders praise it
as their guardian god.

The monkey also brings
coconuts and mangos

from tall trees in
the jungle for the islanders.

The islanders said it also helps them out
when ships strike the reef.

Really. It's really friendly.

Monkeys are originally kind animals.

As long as there's enough food
and they aren't abused by humans.

I wonder what caused it to grow?

Oh, it's the Aoba walnut potions.

What is that?

It's a special walnut.

During war, the military used it to
increase stamina in the weakened soldiers.

But when you drink too many, there's
a danger it can alter your thyroid glands.

Maybe the Elyan Island's monkey overate
the ex-solder's walnuts.

That's it! That must be it!

-Emergency!
-What happened?

We heard Goro's gone wild in town!

-In town?
-Yeah.

Okay, let's go back.

Hey guard, where's the fire?

No, that ain't a fire.

Then did a war just start?

Quiet down!

Goro, get out.

Watch it! Watch it!
It's dangerous, so get back!

Please don't shoot.
You'll make it worse!

Right, get back, back!

Prepare to attack.

Stop! Stop!
I beg you please stop!

I have a great idea.
We can take Goro to Elyan Island.

I'll take that idea.
Our company will cover the costs.

I want to save Goro for Monkey Boy.

Boss!

That picture you took of
Elyan Island moved me.

But how would you take
that wild monster?

Well, you don't need weapons.
You just need a heart.

Hey, Hayashi-kun.

Yes.

Oh, it's Goro.

Good, good.

Boss, he didn't die, did he?

I put a bit of sleeping meds in it.

-Sleeping?
-Yeah.

So when he wakes up, the Elyan Island's
jungle will be there for him.

Did Goro know about the medicine?

Of course not.

He just wanted to feed some milk
to the hungry monkey.

But they make me tear up, those two.

I feel a little sad.

He doesn't know he's going to the islands.
