Urutora Q (1965–1967): Season 1, Episode 20 - Kaitei Genjin Ragon - full transcript
A young marine geologist believes Iwane Island is going to sink beneath the waves but the appearance of prehistoric amphibious humanoid becomes a more immediate concern.
ULTRA Q
Yeah, it's me.
Hm? What?
Yeah, where?
Yeah.
Okay, got it.
A case, right?
Oh, great instincts.
Of course!
All right, let's have you go then.
-Yes, and what kind of a case is it?
-Hm.
An undersea volcano eruption.
Mediocre.
-What's a reporter doing picking stories?
-Yes, sir.
-Hey.
-Yes?
Bring me the Izu area map.
Yes, sir.
This is the site.
Then drop by Iwane Island
to see Professor Ishii.
This professor is--
A marine geologist ousted from
the academic society
for his Japan Sinking Theory.
Oh, so you know.
Yes, from an interview before.
That's right, I can see his little sister,
Fumiko-san too.
Stop the carefree pondering and go now!
Oh, wow. A new island's being born again.
No, it's not. Seems like Japan's going to
sink due to tectonic plate activity.
Huh?
And Professor Ishii who wrote that
is on iwane Island.
What? You knew?
Yeah.
Hey ippei, once you drop me
and Yuri-chan off, go back.
What? But...
Well, you can do what you like,
but the helicopter has a schedule.
It's okay, it's okay.
I know, I'm useless anyway.
Ippei-kun, close in on the volcano more.
All right.
Hey, don't push it!
THE PRIMORDIAL APMPHIBIAN RAGON
Don't say such stupid things!
I'm not asking you to send out
an investigation ship for myself!
It's Professor Ishii and Fumiko-san.
I wonder what happened?
But Professor, that's the government's
job. Why bother to investigate--
It's for this island!
According to my data, this island will
soon sink under the sea.
That's ridiculous.
There aren't any field examiners
to begin with. How are you going to study?
The ship's fuel costs.
Labor costs.
Those aren't free, you know?
Besides, we've cancelled
all fishing today.
We don't know what could happen.
What my brother is saying is true.
Just think of it as helping the people
on this island, so please!
Young lady,
all the professors in Japan aren't
saying anything, so I believe them more.
I'm worried about
everyone on the island.
Time will tell, I'm sure.
-There's no time to be saying that!
-Professor!
Everyone's afraid to go, but I went.
That undersea volcano's amazing!
And what was floating?
It was bad. Fish were floating all over.
But they had no heads or busted insides,
so they weren't sellable.
You! Why didn't you contact me if
you were sailing out?
You knew my brother wanted
to investigate it.
Well, saying that won't...
Anyway, Fumi-chan, look at this! Here!
What is this?
This is...
You idiot, I told you not to show it.
Where'd you find this?
Well, it was caught in the net.
Wonder what it is?
Kawasaki-san!
No! Even if you say you want it, nope.
But...
It won't sell for much to researchers.
I'll return it after studying it.
That's fine, right? C'mon.
Mmm, fine.
Hey! What's the matter?
Hurry, send out a boat! Save him!
Hurry up!
Faster! Hurry, hurry!
Over there! There! Over there! Yeah!
He's like a kappa, he'd never drown.
He must've hit himself when he fell.
A monster! A monster! Help me!
My brother's late.
I'll go call him again.
We can't even talk to him.
He's shut himself inside his office.
This is a waste of time!
Just wait.
Scholars are patient. That's good.
They don't jump to conclusions.
But!
I know.
You get angry when you're hungry.
My, how rude!
I'm gonna go!
I think it's this thing's egg.
It looks like a human.
Yeah.
Way before mankind dominated this Earth,
the Undersea Primitive Human Ragon reigned
over about 200 million years ago.
But an ancient creature like that
wouldn't appear today, right?
The Ragon live about
5,000 meters under the sea.
Its shape's similar to humans,
but it's an evolution of reptiles.
Of course, they lay eggs too.
You were all surprised!
Hey c'mon, you have a drink with me!
Sorry, not right now.
Don't say that! Don't be a stranger!
-I said just one drink!
-I'm going to Takayama's.
-What're ya saying?
-I'm being called. Next time!
What a weird guy. If ya go this way,
it's the union president's house.
Hey, if ya go that way it's the
professor's house! Hey!
What's with him? Tsk.
La-dee-da! La-dee-daa!
La-dee-daa-dee-daa!
Oh?
Hey, hey! Hey, you!
Who is it this late, huh?
What'd you do at sea?
But he sure is a big guy.
Was there a guy this big on this island?
H-H-Help!
Hurry, run!
A monster's appeared! Monster!
Hm?
Oh, the egg's gone!
It must be Kawasaki-san!
Yeah.
Well, probably.
We said we'd give it back
once we're done studying it.
How terrible to steal it!
Oh!
Did something happen?
Who knows?
I don't need that egg anymore.
-I know what I wanted to know.
-Wanted to know?
That egg was not washed up by that
undersea volcano's eruption.
The mouth of the volcano is
about 1,000 meters deep.
That means it got washed here somehow from
5,000 meters deep where the Ragon lives.
From the deep to the shallows?
That's right.
The tectonic activity that I warned
in my paper has started.
The undersea volcano is one of those.
Fumiko, this island may sink
much sooner than I had thought.
What'|| happen before it sinks?
The earth's crust will move, so landslides
or cave-ins will occur on the surface.
My!
Then if an earthquake occurs...
That's what'|| happen.
Fumiko-san, let me borrow your phone.
I gotta tell the boss.
My brother dislikes phones,
so we don't have one here.
The village police box is the closest one.
-Okay.
-Okay.
Yuri-chan, I'll go.
I'll talk to the villagers too.
I'll go too!
That alarm is also bothering me.
Okay.
Yuri-chan, wait a sec.
That way.
-Oh!
-Shh!
-Hey, is it there?
-No.
-Did you find it?
-How about around the stream?
-Nothing's here!
-Let's go down there.
Let's go.
The professor's house is in danger.
Let's go back.
But it could be lying in wait to attack.
Then you wait here.
Everyone will come soon.
Wait, Jun-chan!
Brother, why won't you try talking to
everyone in the village again?
It's not fair,
leaving it up to Yuriko-san.
You're a coward!
-Oh, Fumiko!
-Brother!
Oh, you! Ragon appeared!
-What?
-What?
But that's odd.
What is?
The Ragons withstand
sea bottom pressure and are strong,
so these doors and walls
should be like paper to them.
But it's not coming. Why?
Should I go look?
No, that's dangerous!
Hm.
Midnight Music.
The next song is--
-Professor!
-Professor, are you okay?
Professor! Are you okay?
Professor, the monster?
It just left.
It's lurking outside,
but it won't come in.
It's probably cautious because
we tried trapping it inside earlier.
So it won't fall for it twice.
It has the IQ of a gorilla or more.
What do we do?
We don't want anyone injured out there.
Let's wait and see for a bit.
How persistent. It's still there.
Why doesn't it go back to the sea?
Professor!
This may be it.
What is?
This is a sign before the island sinks.
That's ridiculous!
This might be true.
We must tell the village at once!
It's in the yard now.
Let's sneak out the back.
We can't go back unless we kill it!
While I hold off the Ragon,
help the injured please!
But how?
-Marl.
-02.
And next...
Stop! That path's a dead end!
Jun-chan!
-Ah, thank goodness.
-Thank goodness.
-Now we can go to the village.
-Yes.
Everyone, hurry to the villagers.
I'll wait for Jun-chan.
-Oh, thank goodness.
-Let's go.
Everyone went to the village?
Yes, let's go and help too.
Yeah.
-Spray gasoline. Burn it!
-What?
There's no help coming?
The phones and radio are down.
We're on our own!
Oh!
Th-Th-This!
This is it.
It came here looking for this child.
Let's return it!
Who's going to do it?
Oh...
Hurry!
Quickly!
I'll go.
Fumiko, don't! I'll go!
You need to stay with everyone.
Fumiko!
Come take it. I won't do anything.
It's your child, right?
-Oh...
-Fumiko!
Are you all right?
I'm proud of you, Fumiko.
Hey, hey!
Be careful! Don't rush!
Oh!
Fumiko, I feel bad for those two,
but we're last. Let's go.
Professor, hurry! We gotta go!
Yuri-chan, c'mon hurry!
Brother, look.
We must save them!
Yes, let's go back to save them.
Hey, turn the ship around!
Oh!
Thank goodness.
Head towards the sea.
Go as far as you can!
-Thank you!
-ippei, you're a lifesaver!
A lifesaver?
I'm fine being useless.
-Ippei-kun, hurry!
-Just hurry up!
Okay!
Oh, the island!
One day,
there may be a time when Japan sinks into
the ocean like the professor's prediction.
THE END
Yeah, it's me.
Hm? What?
Yeah, where?
Yeah.
Okay, got it.
