Urutora Q (1965–1967): Season 1, Episode 3 - Uchuu kara no okurimono - full transcript

ULTRA Q

Get a masterpiece yet?

That's a line you only say to amateurs.

I'm an official pro, you know.

So a masterpiece's normal?

Of course.

Well, excuse me.

But if they're making Mt. Mihara's
eruption an article,

the papers must be really short on news.

That's because the planet called
Earth down there is so peaceful.

So vast, so big.



The moon...

Huh?

What's that?

Ippei! Ippei!

Yes, yes. This is the office.

I hear you loud and clear. Over.

We just witnessed an unidentified
object falling into the ocean.

Report immediately to
the Japan Coast Guard.

Our current location is
35 degrees north latitude.

THE GIFT FROM SPACE

Interrupting
the peaceful singing,

it landed on Earth.

And what will it bring about?

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



and become swallowed
into this mysterious time.

This is not the time to say.

Once the studies finish,
we'll announce it.

It's been three hours since it was found!

Please tell us one word about it
besides it being unknown.

-E-Excuse us.
-Sorry.

Who are you people?

We discovered it.

Then you are...

Yes, I'm Manjome.

Oh, my apologies.

Did you find anything?

Yes. Very well.

I'll only state
the points we're sure about.

Half a year ago,

our nation launched a space rocket
to film the surface of Mars.

Oh, the one that was a complete failure.

Yes, yes. It was a malfunction
of the transmitter.

Yeah.

What about that rocket?

That capsule has returned.

Huh? What did you say?

Unbelievable.

"The wandering capsule finds
its way back to Earth."

This must be Yuri-chan's article.

Yes.

It's nonsense, but if it's true,
this would be the only way to put it.

Would such a thing happen?

Thanks.

The capsule supposedly crashed onto
Mars' surface and was obliterated.

Maybe it's a big prank.
Somebody wanting to shake up the world.

It's not something you
could do as a prank.

If we examine the inside of the capsule,
we'll know. Manjome-kun.

If this were true,
what do you think would happen?

Huh?

That rocket was sent into orbit
and definitely made its way to Mars.

Then couldn't that mean someone
had sent it back to us?

Sent it back?

Well, there's no other way
that comes to mind.

I got it. That someone is
a species of Mars.

Yes, and they would be

a species with an IQ equivalent to
or more than mankind on Earth.

Martians.

This is one of the evidence that
proves it was sent from Mars.

I see. It is something beyond
the artificial fibers we know.

No, it's more advanced than that.
Are these really fibers?

It's looks nearly transparent.

Apologies for the wait.
Here are the developed films.

Here they are.

Hmm.

This is...

Almost like abstract art.

I can't understand any of it.

Hm? Nothing.

You. Any trouble with the camera?

No.

It might be trouble with the film.
We can't do much with this.

We'll discuss the photos later.
Moving on.

We have checked inside the capsule
and found a strange object within it.

-You, bring it here.
-Yes.

Meaning?

Two gold spheres like
quail eggs were found.

Two gold spheres?

Maybe the Martians sent us a gift
to congratulate our rocket launch.

These are it.

I see. This is quite cute.

How are the insides?

Unknown. We'll need more time
to thoroughly study it.

Aren't they pretty nice,
giving us a cute present like that.

So it's a symbol of friendship.

Optimism is dangerous.

In order to avoid confusion in public,

this is to be confidential until
we find out what this truly is.

Yes.

You can never be too careful.

It may be small, but it is unknown.

You, store this in a secure place.

Yes, sir.

It's gold!

Ippei, you forget something?

No, I need you to fly for me.

Who are you?

Aren't you rude to be speaking
like that to a customer?

A customer?

I'm sorry, but our planes
can't fly at night.

It's urgent I get to Okura Island,
so I'd like to ask you.

Nope, sorry.

No matter how much you pay me.
There are laws.

Laws? You're not a man that naive
to risk your life for some laws, are ya?

Fine.

Dammit!

It's useless calling the cops.
I'll be in Macao in an hour.

Now, go.

Here.

What a creepy cave.

This is all because you messed up.

Bro, come on. We have lots of money,
we can buy a ship with it.

Dammit. It's slimy around here.

-Oh, wow!
-Hey.

Gimme more!

Don't be greedy!

Thanks.

Whoa! What is that?

Ahh, help!

Save us!

Help!

Senpai

Senpai

Senpai Jeez!

M-Monster?

Yeah. According to the report they
got from the island resident,

the man who saw it was in such a shock
he had speech difficulty.

Really, w-what is this monster?

Idiot, it's called a monster
because it's unknown.

Go see it for yourself.

Um, I'd like to pass.

What?

You call yourself a news reporter?
Have you got no guts?

It's not about guts.
It's a problem of taste.

Huh?

I'm an entertainment reporter.

-Boss.
-Hm?

Please let me go.

What? You again?

It's a problem of taste.

Yuri-chan.
Close your eyes for a sec.

Why?

Just do it, hurry.

Umm, this is creepy.

Okay.

Wow, what a wonderful pendant!

It's a present.

Really? I'm delighted.

Thank you.

Wasn't it expensive?

Not really.

We're the first ones here.
Looks like we get the scoop.

Hey, good work.

Oh, hello.

This is the cave.

These past few days, a very loud,
low howling can be heard.

How about today?

We haven't heard it yet.

We were just saying it might be dead.

Dead?

Did you go in?

O-Of course not.

Everyone's frightened.

-All right, let's go in.
-Okay.

D-D-D-Don't be reckless! No!

Don't worry. If anything happens
we'll contact you.

-Oh, can I borrow that?
-Sure.

Sir, Sir. Can I borrow that?

Of course not!

Then you come with us.

It's boiling in here.

Because of the volcano.

Hm?

Tsk.

Hey, there's cash!

Hm?

What's wrong?

Th-There's someone there!

This is the guy!

The one who threatened you? Shit!

Wait.

He's dead.

I bet he was the monster!

That's it. You're probably right.

Ippei, gather the money!

Okay.

You bastard!

All this cash.

Senpai There it is!

Senpai

Jun-chan!

Hurry!

-Yuri-chan! Hurry, pick them up.
-Okay.

Hey, let's run!
Yuri-chan, hurry.

Hurry, go!

I-I-It's here!

Run!

Hurry, run! C'mon!

Run!

Yuri-chan, hurry!

Yuri-chan, run!

-Yuri-chan, go on ahead!
-Okay.

Senpai, c'mon hurry!

Jun-chan!

Yuri-chan, c'mon hurry!
Quickly!

C'mon, hurry!

We should be okay now.

L-Look!

Hm?

Run! Everyone run that way!

Senpai Senpai

It fell into the seal!

Hey, it's melting!

-Take that!
-Thank goodness!

-Yuri-chan, we did it!
-Yes!

We will now continue on the news we've
Just received about the Mars Monster.

Correspondent Nakamura reports
from Okura Island

the armed search party of 80
has arrived at the island.

They are currently continuing the search
inside the cave in question.

However, the feared Mars Monster's
egg has yet to be found.

The next news.

Professor, why do you think the Martians
put a monster's egg inside the capsule?

Hm, I had just been thinking about that.

It's most likely a threat or a challenge
against mankind on Earth.

A threat?

It means a scare.

A scare?
Why would they need to do that?

Don't ask me.

For space development,

we have been launching satellites
and rockets into other planets.

However, those planets could be
highly troubled by these.

But even if you say that...

To develop mankind's science...

It's necessary, you say?

Yes, that's right.

But let's suppose there are
many other planets

with a higher civilization than us.

Between those planets, just as we have
law and order in human society,

they could have a universal rule
established already.

Then Earth--

No, humans have been selfishly acting
without knowing anything.

Yes. Although this is a theory.

We should go join the universe too.

Then...

Probably not.
They'll say we're not worthy.

Huh?

Why?

We cause war,
have racial discrimination,

and some places still have human traffic.

Our planet needs to become
more equal and peaceful.

Yeah.

That monster may have been sent here
to give us a warning about that.

But hey,

if it melts when it touches salt water,
I don't think it'd be a threat.

Hup.

You can try, but you can't
scare us with a slug monster!

Ya darn Martians!

You wanna get us?
Then come!

Ya idiots! Ha!

-What's wrong?
-This pendant's growing!

Take it off! Take it off!

Senpai

What's going on with this? Senpai!

Ippei, where the heck
did you buy this?

I didn't, I picked it up at the office
and put a chain on it myself.

That's terrible! How terrible!

It's a monster's egg.

What?

Yuri-chan, I'm sorry!

-No! I won't forgive you!
-I apologize!

Senpai Senpai

Okay, Ippei, help me lift it!

Uh, yes.

What's happened?

A bizarre gift has arrived from Mars.
Quickly, make some salt water.

Yes, sir.

-Manjome-kun.
-Yes.

Please call the Space Exploration
Division immediately.

Yes, sir.

We're sure the unlimited sea water
shall put an end to this drama.

However...

As long as the race for space development
holds political power on Earth,

there is no mistake a second gift
will arrive from space.

That will likely be a terrifying monster
that grows enormous and strong

by intaking salt waiter.

THE END
