ULTRA Q
Hurry, hurry!
Hurry!
Let's go.
But ippei's...
C'mon, just go!
Stupid! Idiot! Murderer!
Stupid...
OPEN UP!
What a cruel young lady.
A drive with just the
two of us is so nice.
Ippei's gonna be mad
when we get back.
Well, I won't.
What?
I won't go back.
Forever?
Yup.
Just a world with you and me.
That must be nice.
A place with no phones, no deadlines,
and no traffic jams.
A place with no debt collectors.
Then a place with no bars.
A place that's
not overcrowded with people.
In other words, goodbye to this
suffocating world!
All right, then let's speed off to
the moon or stars like this!
-Oh!
-Hm?
It's a hit-and-run!
There's a heartless person out there.
Is he dead?
Hm?
-Lend me a hand.
-Okay.
He's alive!
He's just a drunk! What a joke.
But if we didn't pass by
he might've been run over.
A great deal of trouble for us.
And it was our day off.
It can't be helped. Let's take him
to the Professor's place for now.
If it's like this,
I should've taken the train.
What's wrong?
Train... T-Train...
What about the train?
O-Open up! Open it! Let me off!
But!
Let me off!
[-I'm getting off!
-1-I'm getting off!
-Watch out!
O-Open up!
Watch out! That's dangerous!
I'm getting off! Open up!
Oh!
Open up! Open up! Open the door!
Open up! Open up! Open up!
Open the door!
Open up! I'm getting off!
Open it, I'm getting off! Open the door!
Hey, let me off! Let me off!!
Open the door! Open the door!
Oh.
Excuse me, but may I check your ticket?
This is a commuter's pass.
It can't be a pass?
You do not have a ticket with you?
O-Oh... Yeah, one moment.
I think I got a little drunk.
If I didn't have a pass,
where was I trying to go?
Well...
Well, I've been real forgetful lately.
I saw a weird dream earlier too.
I was probably in a nightmare.
You don't have a ticket.
No, but.
Please come this way.
Y-You! Hey!
Tomono-san, what should we do?
We have another ticketless one.
If he's okay with it, we don't mind.
It's always encouraging to have
more than one comrade, right?
That's fine.
Oh, this is a chartered train?
You could say that.
Well, please excuse me.
I must have overdrank a bit.
Oh, you weren't exactly drunk.
Huh? By the way, where is your trip to?
Well, I was just thinking
of going on a trip too.
I seem to be a wanderer at heart. Well.
This is me.
I shall explain.
I was just explaining to a walk-in
like you right now.
Isn't that right?
We are now heading towards the world that
all of you have been wanting to go to.
This train just happens to be used to
jump into that world.
So unfortunately or shall I say at a right
time, you've all wandered into this place.
Um, what is this other world you speak of?
It's where you always talk about.
"I'm so busy I want
to go away somewhere.
Isn't there a world without interest?
I'm sick of political parties
and conspiracies,
isn't there a land that's
still pristine?"
Lately, you haven't been
doing well at work.
You're tired and everything
feels burdensome.
You want to run away from
your wife and daughter.
You want to go some place far
where no one's there.
Isn't that right?
Excuse me, but aren't you the
science fiction writer, Kenji Tomono?
Yes.
Does that mean the world
inside this book exists?
That's right.
That's ridiculous.
Just because I'm drunk, don't tell me
a weird joke! Playing tricks are for kids.
Then take a look outside.
Currently, we are inside a world
that has surpassed time and space.
Your pasts can all be overheard and seen.
Oh! Section Chief! Chief!
Honey! Honey! Come home to us!
Tomiko!
Tomiko! Tomiko!
Honey! Come home to us!
Daddy! Daddy, wait! I'll go with you!
Daddy!
Oh, watch out! Watch out, Keiko!
I'm getting off! Let me off!
-I can't yet! I can't go yet!
-Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!
Tomono-san, open this! Open it up!
Open it up...
Relax... Relax...
Good.
You will very, very quietly
fall into a deep sleep.
And when you wake up,
all the doors shall be opened.
Do you think that story's real, Professor?
It seems to be so.
I heard this man's story too
and I'm definitely sure now.
Meaning?
Open up!
Open up!
Open up!
Open up!
Open up!
Open up!
Please, open up!
Open up!
Open up!
Please, open up!
Open up!
After combining those two's stories,
it looks like they were on the same train.
But Professor, if that's true,
why did those two get off that train?
Who knows?
A little before you two came here,
that lady was found by a railman
inside a bullet train tunnel.
Have you read Kenji Tomono's novel that
that man mentioned?
Yes.
Hm.
He seems to have written many mysterious
stories about people going missing.
Even when you're tired, there are times
you want to disappear somewhere, right?
Yes, that's true.
-Jun-chan.
-Hm?
Want to go after Kenji Tomono?
Hm.
All right, our day off's cancelled.
Professor, please look after the two.
-Yes.
-Then.
-Let's go.
-Yes.
-Professor.
-Hm?
This.
TOMONO
Can we see Tomono sensei please?
Um, and you are?
We're from the newspaper.
Ah, it's about the manuscript.
It just arrived this morning.
Here you are.
"Manuscript Enclosed."
And the date?
Yesterday.
Tomono-san!
Yes?
I have mail.
Thank you.
Um, isn't he home right now?
Well, he's on a trip right now.
Where to?
Well, it's just that...
Oh, we won't interrupt his work,
so can you at least tell us his hotel?
Well, it's just that he hasn't told me.
You don't know?
Yes.
Then when will he return?
Yes...
The thing is he wandered out a year and
a half ago and hasn't come back since.
A year and a half?
Yes!
But his promised manuscripts
always arrive properly,
and he gives directions
by phone sometimes.
By phone?
Oh, hello, Professor? It's Manjome.
Yes. Kenji Tomono has been missing
since a year and a half ago.
To my speculation, Tomono is...
Actually, I'm being called by
the police about that right now.
Would you like to come along?
Yes. You can meet me there.
The police department?
Yes, that's fine.
Oh, and how is Sawamura-san doing?
We got through to his wife
and she came to pick him up.
He himself doesn't remember anything
and his wife just thinks he was
in our care for being overdrunk.
Thank you.
ICHINOTANI LABORATORY
How disgraceful for someone your age.
Drinking until you pass out and
carried into a complete stranger's house?
Imagine how Keiko and I feel
apologizing and saying you're our family.
Oh, how embarrassing.
Honey, are you listening?
What is that look?
You've got something to say to me?
Are you saying I was to blame?
You coward. Good-for-nothing.
You call yourself a man?
Have you ever even acted once like
a husband or a father to me and Keiko?
Hey, have you? Have you?
You're always nervous as if you did
something wrong and looking down, afraid.
Why? Why is that?
See, you look away again.
Can you not look at my face straight?
I told you to stop looking down!
Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
I hate you! I hate both of you!
Keiko, you...
I hate you!
You call this a marriage? A family?
It's not just his fault,
it's your fault too!
It's over. Everything.
Please stop.
Honey?
I'm going to work.
What? It's 4 p.m. now.
I will state this beforehand.
I'd like for everyone to keep what I am
about to report confidential from here on.
We actually have last October's incident
at Shiroyama Garage on film.
This amateur cameraman here
happened to be on the site of the scene.
Now, project it please.
I still cannot forget
the fear I felt then.
Yes. This case had closed
without ever being solved.
However, this March, it happened again
at Kinjo Line Mukaida Station.
Right in front of an employee guiding
the first train from the sidetrack,
one train car suddenly disappeared.
Yuri-chan, you believe it?
I see.
If you combine this sequence of events
to those two's strange behaviors...
That's right. There must be a connection.
We have decided to
continue this investigation,
but it is too soon to announce.
We do not want to worry the public.
Thus, we had everyone
involved gather today
to ask you to withhold from
announcing anything about this case.
What time do you think it is?
Who would come in at
the hour everyone leaves!
What's with those eyes?
You look like a goldfish!
You must be drunk.
Is the sun revolving
backwards in your head?
That is not sunrise, it's sundown!
You forget west and east too?
Drink this and go home.
What's wrong?
It was nice working with you.
Hey, where should we go?
"Anywhere"
doesn't feel right to say right now.
This present is definitely
the real present we're in, right?
Of course it is.
I don't want you taking off on a train.
Don't say that!
You're actually quite the chicken.
If you were always that way, it'd be nice.
My, how vexing.
Oh!
Aww.
What's wrong?
The fan belt broke.
What a pinch.
Jun-chan!
What are you yelling for?
Look!
Huh?
Oh!
It's Kenji Tomono!
Someone threw it in.
Let's look!
Please, go ahead. I don't mind.
What? Did you say something?
Hm?
Hey, let's go to your office.
All right.
There was once a man.
From some point in time, he had wanted
to escape from the world of reality.
That day, he had attended some foolish
gathering by the Sci-Fi Lover's Club,
which had exhausted him.
And it was true he had been
in a slump as a writer.
He, himself, had always dreamt of escaping
to the fictional world he wrote about.
At that moment, he thought, "What if this
elevator continued to endlessly descend?"
In his own novels, there were
several stories like that.
Like arriving at a completely different
world after descending in an elevator.
This is how he entered
the world of his dreams.
There were many that have
come before him who even had children.
This, however, didn't mean their lives
were an extension,
copy, or a distortion of
their previous lives.
/It was an unimaginably wonderful one.
So the writer, Kenji Tomono,
would write his novels in peace like this,
and sends it to the original world
by a special method through mail.
And so he was able to call by phone
using a special shortwave too.
Yeah.
Now I understand that housemaid's
mysterious words.
Take me with you.
Take me with you too.
Take me anywhere!
Hey!
Everyone.
If you have an understanding partner
or a warm family,
please be careful when
boarding the train at night.
Take me with you!
Take me with you!
Please take me with you!
THE END
Hurry, hurry!
Hurry!
Let's go.
But ippei's...
C'mon, just go!
Stupid! Idiot! Murderer!
Stupid...
OPEN UP!
What a cruel young lady.
A drive with just the
two of us is so nice.
Ippei's gonna be mad
when we get back.
Well, I won't.
What?
I won't go back.
Forever?
Yup.

That must be nice.
A place with no phones, no deadlines,

Watch out! That's dangerous!
I'm getting off! Open up!
Oh!
Open up! Open up! Open the door!
Open up! Open up! Open up!
Open the door!
Open up! I'm getting off!
Open it, I'm getting off! Open the door!
Hey, let me off! Let me off!!
Open the door! Open the door!

Oh, watch out! Watch out, Keiko!

-I can't yet! I can't go yet!
-Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!
Tomono-san, open this! Open it up!
Open it up...
Relax... Relax...
Good.
You will very, very quietly
fall into a deep sleep.
And when you wake up,
all the doors shall be opened.
Do you think that story's real, Professor?
It seems to be so.
I heard this man's story too
and I'm definitely sure now.
Meaning?
Open up!

TOMONO
Can we see Tomono sensei please?
Um, and you are?
We're from the newspaper.
Ah, it's about the manuscript.
It just arrived this morning.
Here you are.
"Manuscript Enclosed."
And the date?
Yesterday.
Tomono-san!
Yes?

Thank you.
Um, isn't he home right now?
Well, he's on a trip right now.
