California 2002 A.D.
My name is Ban Shunsaku.
I was born in Kanda, Tokyo and work as a private detective.
I had come to America on an assignment from a certain man.
This man.
He had learned the secret behind an arms smuggling group.
They were after his life.
He's dead.
How awful!
Wh-What's this?!
H-He's melting. Melting!
He melted.
Who's there?!
Whoa!
Hi-yah!
Hi-yah!
How dare you do this to me!
I'll remember this!
Wh-Where the heck is this?
Wh-Where am I?
Where do you think you're going...
...without paying for your treatment?
You aren't better yet.
Come on, back to bed.
I happened to be passing by.
I saved you.
This is my clinic.
Wh-What?
So you treated me, Doctor?
Here's the invoice for my services.
You need to pay me five million yen.
There goes my dizziness!
What's with this invoice?!
Five million?!
You think I can pay that?
Is that right? I saved your life, you know.
I'm asking you if you think
I really have five million yen!
You're a private detective, aren't you?
The chairman of the undersea train corporation, Mr. Shylock,
said there were people after his life.
You were hired to investigate the culprits, weren't you?
I was his doctor.
That day, I was passing by.
I found you.
You were injured and on the verge of death.
Mr. Shylock melted before my very eyes!
This is a big case! I need to investigate.
That will have to wait.
First, you need to pay
the five million yen treatment fee.
I don't have five million yen.
You're not leaving until you pay.
Look, Doctor.
It's the Marine Express station. There are so many people.
See?
There's a trial run for the Marine Express today.
That's him!
He was there!
That's the guy who did this
to me that night!
I won't let him get away!
Hold it! Pay your bill before you go!
He's gone aboard the Marine Express.
I'll do whatever it takes to capture him
and make him spill the truth.
Sounds impossible for you.
I just know that guy is working
for the arms smugglers.
Until I get my five million yen out of you,
I won't leave you alone.
Dammit.
Daddy, it's so pretty.
I'll be able to go swimming
in this sea, won't I?
That's right.
Hey, Daddy, will I be able to meet a mermaid here in the southern seas?
A mermaid? There's no such thing.
Yes, there is!
They show up in the book
you bought me, Daddy!
Do they? Well, that's just a fairy tale.
It's not a fairy tale.
You don't know anything, Daddy.
It's opening day now.
Sure is.
Dad, it's the Aqua Port.
Dad?
You aren't much into this, even though the weather's good for a test run.
Isn't it, Adam?
Yeah.
It's the world's first undersea train, and our dad designed it.
Don't say that, Rock.
It's wonderful that I'll have
the chance to drive it today.
What's so wonderful about it?
I'll have you know, I'm ashamed.
Why?
I've created such an awful thing.
The joint Japan-America project,
the undersea train Marine Express,
is now opening.
This is a truly joyous occasion
for both countries.
It is most unfortunate that
the man most responsible for this project,
Chairman Scrooge Shylock,
has gone missing and...
is therefore unable to attend today's test.
But our friend and
world-renowned authority
on railway engineering,
Professor Nasenkopf, has graced us
with his presence.
I made it.
Oh, my, my, my.
What's going on?
What's with this? All the passengers are...
Huh?!
They're all dolls!
These are dummies.
Dummies?
What do you mean, "dummies"?
Dolls that take the place of humans.
They'll sit here during the test run to see how they're affected.
Heh, is that all it is?
How boring! Out of my way. Jeez!
These seats were meant for humans to sit in!
Marine Express #1 will be
departing momentarily.
Rock, is everything okay?
Leave it to me.
Greetings, passengers.
I am Rock Nasenkopf. I will be your pilot on the Marine Express today.
This super express train will travel from the Aqua Port in Los Angeles
to Tokyo, Japan, crossing 25,000 kilometers of the Pacific sea floor.
On the way, there are stops at the Marquesas Islands in Polynesia,
Samoa in Melanesia,
and finally at Ponape in Micronesia.
Then we will arrive in Tokyo, Japan.
This trip will take roughly 40 hours.
We will be speeding along at 400 km/h.
We are now traveling 2000 meters deep along California's continental shelf.
Curse that murderer.
Where is he?
I'm sure he's around here.
Come in.
I have brought your drinks.
Now then,
should I pour you some juice, young man?
That boy won't drink anything.
Well, perhaps some sweets?
He won't eat! He won't drink!
Leave us alone!
I wasn't aware that he was ill.
I'll take him to the emergency room.
Stop that! Get out!
That brat ain't human.
Daddy, look.
Ships. Look, there are so many of them.
Everyone, this is a ship graveyard.
Here we see nearly 50 sunken ships sleeping at the bottom of the sea.
This is a display of the awful history of maritime accidents.
Among them are victims of war as well.
Look!
That's a destroyer from our country.
A ship that was sunk
during World War II.
Actually, everyone, during
this construction project,
these ships were found in various places and gathered here.
What happened to their passengers?
They died.
Will that happen to this train too?
It will be fine.
Something's coming.
Check it.
Something's right in front of us.
200 meters ahead.
Check what it is.
What incredible energy. Could this be...
It can't be!
It's the Ikazett Volcano!
That volcano is supposed to be extinct!
It's right next to the tracks.
Oh no!
Ah! It's a volcano!
Passengers, there is no need to be afraid.
Please fasten your seat belts.
This train will soon begin
traveling at 1000 km/h.
This is no joke.
Help me!
Help me!
This is awful!
Please go back to your seat!
My seat is a long way away.
Even if it's a long way,
go back to your seat.
By the way, do you think we'll survive?
We'll be past this in ten seconds.
Consarnit! Why'd I ever get
on this crazy train?!
Turn back! Take us back to safety!
You idiot! Put me down, you heap of junk!
There's nothing to fear.
This pipe has special elastic properties.
It can bounce things back to some degree.
We're all right now. Please, calm down.
Passengers, please remove
your seat belts and relax.
That volcano was supposed to be extinct, but it just happened to erupt.
The Marine Express will not be passing by any more volcanoes.
Instead, you can see
this undersea mountain range.
Like mountains on land,
these are folds in the Earth's crust.
Here there are peaks as high as the Alps, and valleys as well.
In other words, the terrain underwater is the same as above.
It's just that there are no trees
or rivers or grass.
Put on some tea.
For this guy as well.
Are you the conductor?
Well, I guess you could call me that.
Though I'm just a temporary one.
I see. I'm a Japanese private detective. The name's Ban Shunsaku.
Oh, thanks.
What's a detective doing on this train?
Now don't get too frightened.
The truth is, there's a murderer on this train.
A murderer, you say?!
That's right! The guy who killed Scrooge Shylock.
But the papers said
his whereabouts were unknown.
Well, about that, he's been killed.
On top of that,
he melted.
Is that true?
Yes, and I saw the murderer
get on board this train.
He's definitely here somewhere.
That can't be.
That's not all.
Arms smugglers are involved!
Killers from the arms smuggling group are after those who know the secret!
Or they may be out to take
over the train itself.
In other words, hijackers.
Nonsense. That isn't possible.
That's why I'm telling you
to turn this train around!
Don't hit that!
You'll damage the meters.
I can't turn this train back now.
The test has already begun.
Well then, put everyone off
at the next station!
People's lives are at stake!
I understand what you're saying.
But without concrete proof,
there's nothing I can do.
Put that man outside the cab.
Come on, listen to me-
What are you doing to me, you tin freak?!
Everyone, please look out
your windows to the right.
You will see some table-like mountains.
These are known as guyots.
They are strange formations that you can see here and there under the sea.
How these things were created
is still unknown.
Hmph, who cares about some guyots?!
Guyot!
He's dead.
It's a murder.
A-Another murder!
There's a person dead right near here!
It's here! Right here!
Where was someone killed?
Here. Right here.
He was collapsed right here.
Where?
He vanished! Just like last time.
This is ridiculous.
Don't call me out for stupid stuff like this.
Oh no! No! No! No!
I really saw him! He had two eyes and one mouth!
It was human! Yes, a human!
With a face like this.
You over there, who are you?
Who are you?
What are you doing?
I'm waiting for Daddy.
He's gone to the power car.
I see.
Daddy told me to go to sleep, but I can't.
And I'm bored.
I've already read the book I brought.
And I have no friends.
Hey, will you be my friend?
What's your name?
I'm Adam.
My name is Mildred Credit.
You can call me Milly.
Hurry up and do it.
Place a kiss on the back of my hand.
Why?
You kiss a lady's hand to greet her.
Don't you know proper etiquette?
You're a strange kid.
Why?
You have a face that looks like a doll's.
Your voice sounds like
it's coming from a microphone.
Is it that strange?
But I don't mind that.
Come over this way.
The sea sure is dark.
It's really boring.
I thought it would be more interesting, with mermaids swimming around.
Mermaids?
What? You don't know what mermaids are?
What are they like?
They're in Andersen's story.
A-Andersen?
You're hopeless.
You don't know anything, do you?
I'm sorry.
Wait here. I'll bring the book
and explain it to you.
What are you doing?
Go back to your room.
U-Um...
I wanted to play with Adam.
Stay away from this boy!
Here, read this, Adam.
Thank you.
You can return it whenever you want.
That girl is Secretary Credit's daughter.
Never speak to her again, Adam.
Why?
Not for any reason!
You have an important job to do, Adam.
You mustn't forget that.
Don't speak to too many humans.
Let me see your face.
The bolt on your vocal cords is loose.
Dad.
It's wonderful.
Things are going great.
I have something to talk to you about.
What is it, Dad?
You're adopted, so you're white.
But I'm a Polynesian, from the Maori tribe.
When I was young, I abandoned that land,
with its lack of connections to European culture.
I went to Germany as a transfer student.
But what was waiting for me there was severe discrimination from white people.
I withstood it.
I worked.
Then I crossed over to America to study.
I had a classmate by the name of Credit.
He was a total white supremacist,
and he bullied me.
Thirty years passed,
and I received a Nobel Prize.
Credit became the American Secretary of State.
Um, are you talking about Secretary Credit?
What an irony.
Under the orders of my old enemy, Credit,
I'm carrying out construction
that will pollute my homeland.
In addition...
If the undersea train lines go there, the islands will be developed.
They will become tourist spots, and pollution will increase.
Public morals will be poisoned, and the sea will be ruined.
I'm sure that won't happen.
History shows us it will.
The sole remaining unspoiled
bit of nature, the sea,
and the culture of the islands
will be destroyed.
I must not let this business succeed.
Get everyone off at the next station.
Rock, you get off too.
Why?
This train must not reach the last stop.
What do you mean?
I will destroy it with my own two hands.
That's ridiculous!
You can rat me out to Credit
and have me arrested.
I won't rat you out.
But I absolutely will not allow you
to destroy this train, Dad.
This room is the heart of the train.
This is the center of everything.
As long as I am here,
the train is safe.
Get out, please!
Dad...
This is our first stop.
We have arrived at the Marquesas.
We will stop here for three hours.
Please take your time and relax.
He could cooperate a little!
Accursed dolls.
If I tell someone at the station
about that murder...
Where did my father go?
He was with the secretary.
You were discussing a terrifying plot
with your son, weren't you?
I have decided as a good American citizen to destroy that train.
It's too late for you to stop me, Credit.
You never could understand my feelings!
You impertinent Polynesian.
This is your final warning.
There's nothing left for me to think about.
Then I will arrest you for treason.
You're well prepared, gentlemen of the CIA.
But until I have finished my work, I won't let you catch me!
Capture him!
Where's your Daddy?
He went that way.
Dad!
Dad...
I feel sorry for you.
What?
But cheer up.
Who is it?
Where are you?
Who are you?
I'm here.
What is this?
A firefly?
There's a little dwarf in the light.
I'm not a dwarf.
Th-Then a fairy?
What are you?
I am a woman of the past.
Of the past?
Then you're a ghost?
From your perspective, perhaps.
After all, it was ten thousand years ago.
Ten thousand years?
Don't approach me!
This was my palace.
This pile of rocks.
Your palace?
Then you're...
These were the castle walls.
Were you a queen or something?
Of what country?
The Mu Empire.
The Mu Empire?
I've heard stories about it.
So it really existed.
The legends say your country sank.
Invaders came.
Invaders?
What happened?
One day,
people from another world
descended from the skies.
We'd been living in peace,
but those people taught us
about murder, betrayal, and discrimination.
And in no time at all,
they had made us their slaves.
Rock, this project of yours will surely
ruin the people of this island country.
So you're saying that we're invaders?
Is that it?
For me, the Marine Express is something I inherited from my father.
I won't let anyone get in its way.
But Professor Nasenkopf
warned you about this.
Listen, Queen, I don't care
what anyone says.
I'm going to make the Marine Express a success.
I definitely won't let it stop halfway.
I swear it on my father's pride, and my own.
Rock, we will meet again.
Wait!
I have a question!
Queen...
I wonder if she was a ghost.
She said she was from
the Mu Empire, if I recall.
He isn't dead yet.
What?
He still shows pupillary reaction.
Which means?
He's in a state of suspended animation or perhaps a vegetative state.
Then will he survive?
If the train stops, I may be able to save him with surgery.
If we move him,
he'll likely never regain consciousness.
If you can save him, please do.
I have conditions.
First, stop the train for a day.
Second, my fee will be 100 million yen.
100 million yen?!
500 thousand dollars?!
Well?
I'm sure it's worth that much to you.
Hey, you!
I don't care what it takes.
Get this train moving right now.
Here are your orders.
Doctor,
will my father make it?
His brain still shows some activity.
Don't say a word.
Come with me to the power car right now.
Who are you?
It doesn't matter.
Get moving.
All right.
Launch the train.
What?
Don't move.
Make the robot do it.
No way!
They're in the middle of an operation! What will happen if the train moves?
We're making them stop that operation.
Now, do it!
Don't be ridiculous!
Who are you?!
If you'd like, I can destroy
this cockpit and you with it.
If that happens, this train is finished.
Dewy, start the engine.
Who the heck are you people?!
Don't ask questions you shouldn't.
Just do as you're told.
Preparations for departure are complete.
Tell him to launch.
No! It'll ruin Dad's operation!
Please stop this!
I'll say it again! Tell him to launch!
Dewy, launch. The train is departing.
What's going on?
We're moving!
Daddy, we suddenly started moving!
No!
Stop the train!
I can't operate like this!
The train takes off on its own.
And the vice-minister has gone missing.
Just what the heck is going on here?
Sasaki, go to the power car and find out!
I can't stop the operation now.
It's do or die.
Buddha help me!
W-Wait! I don't know anything!
I'm just an underling!
Why have you started the train?
Look out!
What a fool.
You got to see something interesting.
This is a type of disintegrator gun.
It's been developed recently.
It's still in the experimental stage.
But in time, it will be used
on the battlefield as well.
Ah, sharks!
We need to speed up, or the sharks will mistake us for an enemy!
The brat talks too much.
I don't plan to kill him, but that should shut him up for a bit.
D-Don't kill me! P-Please!
Don't flip out.
If Nasenkopf dies from this,
our job will be finished.
What is that?!
I-It's a school of sharks!
Daddy, I'm scared!
The train should be safe. Calm down.
Daddy will go see what's happening. Wait here.
No! I'm coming with you!
Do as you're told.
Daddy, come back.
Thank you for the book.
Hey, could you stay here a while?
Look at that. See?
It's glaring at us.
What is that?
It's a man-eating shark!
Ah!
Adam, aren't you scared?
I don't know what fear is.
Because you're a boy?
I'm not human, after all.
Huh?
I'm a dummy.
What's a dummy?
I'm a doll created for an experiment.
A doll? Then are you a robot?
Professor Nasenkopf made me.
Huh? Now that you mention it,
I always felt you were kind of a strange kid.
Still, you're my friend, right?
Hey, you are, aren't you?
Milly, I came to say goodbye.
Goodbye?
Where are you going?
No! Don't leave! Stay with me!
Th-The sharks have started tackling us!
They're horrifying!
Th-They're trying to smash
the pipe to eat us!
Run for it! Speed up!
Hey, robot!
Speed up! Shake off those sharks!
What's wrong?!
Can't you understand me?!
It's no good! That thing'll
only listen to the kid!
Come on, I'm begging you, wake up!
I said wake up!
It's no good! Do we have any drugs or water?!
Hey, where's the water?!
You piece of junk!
I'll go to the medical room and get drugs!
Don't go!
I'll shoot you!
Milly, cheer up.
I have to go now.
Milly, farewell.
Adam, don't leave me, please!
Darn it!
What are you?!
Adam.
Dewy, shut the auxiliary blinds.
Shutting auxiliary blinds.
Dewy, increase our speed
to 800 km/h!
800 km/h.
That was awful.
Adam, you saved me.
Your stomach...
Will you be all right?
After all,
Dad is the only one who can repair you.
That's right. Dad!
What happened to him?
I'm going to the medical room.
Brother, I'm here on Dad's orders.
What? Dad sent you here?
Yes. That was the plan from the beginning.
Plan? What plan?
I was created along with this train.
There is a computer room over there, right?
I am a part of that computer.
Say what?!
Inside my body, there is an order to blow up
this train without letting it stop.
That's a lie! It has to be!
If I go in there and connect to the computer,
this train will explode in 24 hours.
There's no way you can do
something like that.
You're just a slightly elaborate dummy.
You were created to help test this train.
That's-
Brother, you're wrong!
Dad created me to mess up this train.
It's too late now.
Wait. Don't go in there!
Farewell, Brother.
Wait!
Let's talk this over. Okay, Adam?
I will stop this train at the next station for just three minutes.
Get everyone off.
After that, until the explosion,
I won't stop.
Adam!
Hey, open up!
Adam!
Dewy, open this!
Dewy!
What's wrong?
Can't you hear me?!
The machines are moving on their own!
The buttons aren't working.
I can't switch over to manual control either!
Wait. Stop!
I get it. It's moving according to Adam's orders.
I have taken control of this room.
Humans can no longer touch it.
Get out.
If you do not get out, you will die.
I won't get out!
Dammit!
Th-This is no joke!
It's not my fault m-my partner
got himself killed!
I'm through with this, Boss!
D-Don't fool around!
I don't care what happens to your plans.
Stop! Stop! Please, wait!
I don't know anything!
I wouldn't say anything even if I did!
Spare me, Boss!
Hi-yah!
Whoa there.
Mr. Credit.
It's no use.
I've figured out your entire plan.
You were planning to use
this Marine Express
to smuggle strategic materials secretly.
It seems these disintegrator guns
were recently developed in America.
You were secretly diverting them into the black market.
To bring them to Asia,
you were trying to use this route.
What proof do you have?
Here's my proof!
I heard from Mr. Shylock
that there was a conspiracy to use
the Marine Express to smuggle weapons.
I had no idea where you would hide them during transit.
Putting them inside the dummies was clever.
The tests will continue for a while.
During that time, the dummies will carry
tens of thousands of disintegrator guns for you.
A number of people have uncovered your plot.
You've been hiring killers to erase them.
That's right.
Now then, Detective,
do you know how to use one of these disintegrator guns?
Let me teach you. Watch closely.
Daddy!
Daddy, stop!
Please, don't shoot!
Daddy!
No! Milly, this is dangerous!
Milly, let go of me!
No, Daddy. Stop! Stop shooting people!
This is an adult problem. Don't interfere!
Come on, Daddy!
Daddy, you're not a bad person, right?
Daddy, you're a good person, right?
You're not a murderer, right?
Don't shoot that thing!
I don't want my daddy to shoot people!
Be quiet!
Is this better?
Milly...
Daddy!
Why did I go and bring you with me?
To such an awful place.
No, it's a good thing you did bring her.
As a father, we wouldn't want you to betray your daughter.
What are you going to do with me now?
There's no helping it. I'll hand you to the authorities at the next station.
We've got trouble!
Everyone, big trouble!
The computer's gone mad!
We're on a runaway train!
What? Did you say the computer
has gone mad?
Dad said he would definitely
destroy this train.
His trump card was Adam.
No! Adam's not a bad boy like that!
It... Adam won't listen to anything
but Dad's orders!
It's only a robot!
Why not just smash it?
We can't.
We can't get into the power room.
Then is Professor Nasenkopf,
who's in surgery right now,
the only one who can stop it?
That's right.
How's the operation going?
I don't know.
That doctor is charging
an exorbitant 100 million yen!
Make sure he saves him, no matter what!
Hurry up!
We'll reach the second station soon.
Samoa.
While we're stopped there for three minutes,
we'll have the bomb squad come aboard and remove Adam.
Hello. Hello. This is Marine Express. Samoa Station, come in.
It's no good! I can't get through
to Samoa Station.
The signal is being jammed!
By what?
I dunno!
Everyone,
this train is dangerous. Please get off.
Milly, you get off.
This is Daddy's responsibility,
so I have to stay here.
No, I'll stay with you, Daddy.
Milly, please understand.
Do as you're told without
a fuss and get off.
No! I don't want to be all alone!
I'm getting off.
Ow! Darn it!
This wasn't the exit?
Oh no! This is the toilet!
Oh no, I can't open it anymore!
Hey, let me out!
Is anyone there?! Open the door!
Get out!
Doctor.
I'm operating now. Don't come in.
Doctor, this is an emergency.
You and the professor have to get off.
You idiot! Are you trying to kill the patient?
But the train is out of control.
It's going to explode!
That's not my concern.
I took on this operation.
Nothing else matters.
I accepted the job of saving this man,
so I will complete the operation.
If you're just going to stand there,
I'll chuck you out!
Be careful of the electricity.
We're wearing insulated clothing.
It will be fine.
Okay, you take the right.
Don't mess up.
We're shut out!
Won't it open?
It won't!
Darn it, he figured us out!
How is it over there?
It's shut tight!
Burn through the doors!
Hurry!
There's an incredible magnetic force!
What's going on?!
It sucked in my tools,
and I can't pull them off!
Everything's totally stuck!
Hold on! I'll open a hole with a disintegrator gun!
Hold on!
Wait!
Hey, stop!
Stop!
Hold on!
Wait!
It is too late for you.
You failed to heed my warning.
You made no attempt to get off.
I will not stop again.
You will all share the same fate as me.
I will explode in twelve hours.
Spare me!
In twelve hours, we will be directly above the Japan Trench.
It's one of the deepest parts of the ocean, with a depth of ten thousand meters.
If we blow up there,
that's the end of everything.
This was the hardest part during construction.
Repairing it will likely be impossible.
This is because you didn't put a repair crew aboard!
I brought them!
But the train didn't let them aboard! The train didn't!
That's why the train ended up like this!
Both of you, shut up!
Given what's happened,
I have a few words for you.
We Japanese have cooperated in this project and put in a lot of money.
Who is going to take responsibility for this?!
What?! You're a rotten official
who made a killing off this, I'm sure!
What?!
I'm innocent! I'll sue you for defamation!
Please stop fighting!
Huh?
Huh?
Doctor!
Is the operation finished?
H-How did it go?
Will the professor survive?
W-Was it a failure?!
Let me sleep a while.
Huh? H-Hey, come on.
Tell us how it went, Doc.
Be straight with us.
I promised, didn't I?
The patient's still alive.
Hurrah! Thank goodness!
Then let's have the professor stop the train right away.
Don't be in such a rush.
The operation just finished.
He's still asleep.
When will he wake up?
He won't awaken for half a day.
You're kidding me!
Half a day from now,
the train will blow up!
You're too noisy.
Could you keep it down?
Success comes to those
who sleep and wait, you know.
You call yourself a 100 million yen doctor?!
There's nothing else for it!
We need to take up weapons
and storm in there!
Let's smash that computer!
Mr. Credit, let us borrow some of your disintegrator guns.
What's this?!
I-It's water!
Why is there wa-
Run! Run!
Everyone run! There's electricity
running through it!
I'm being paralyzed! Ow! Ow! Ow!
I'm breaking through! Stop!
Don't stop me!
This is insane!
It's suicidal! We'll be at Ponape
Station in one minute!
If we miss it, there is no chance
for us to be saved! I'm getting off!
We're traveling at 1000 km/h!
We should slow down
as we pass through the station!
Moron! If you jump out, you're finished!
Argh! Get in my way, and I'll shoot you!
Oh! It's Ponape Station!
Farewell, everyone!
Hurry up and shut it!
He broke the glass on the observation car. He'd gone crazy.
I feel bad for him.
He must've panicked.
Looks like we're finally on course towards hell.
Are we going to die with this train in another six hours?
I definitely won't let the train blow up!
Acting tough won't do us any good.
There's no way to stop it.
What is it, Doctor?
The professor has regained consciousness.
Really?!
Dad!
It's me, Dad!
Well done.
Please.
The train is going to blow up
in another six hours.
You're the only one who can stop it, Dad.
Please tell me how, Dad!
Adam is controlling the train, Mister.
Rock, is that you?
Is everyone still on board?
Yes. No one got off.
Why?
I told you to get the passengers off.
Nasenkopf.
Please, save all our lives.
I'm begging you.
Rock,
listen well.
There's a secret emergency exit
in the power room.
Go along the roof to it.
Shoot Unit 9 from the roof.
If you destroy that circuit,
it will break the link to the computer and switch to manual control.
Unit 9 is the pink case to the right
of the gyrocompass.
What's going on? The controls are unresponsive,
even though they should be in manual mode.
They're all dead.
I can't use them!
What should I do?!
Curse that Adam.
He's rendered all the switches useless!
I'll persuade Adam.
Put me in front of the computer.
We can't! If you're moved
right now, you'll die!
If we don't stop the train,
all of us will die.
I'm saying you'll pass out
before you reach the cockpit.
Daddy!
Daddy!
Then what should we do?!
At times like this, even if you know you're 99% guaranteed to fail,
you have to bet on that
last 1% to the very end.
I'll go too.
Adam and I are friends.
I'm sure he'll stop if I ask him to.
He's a robot.
You think your tears mean anything to him?
Adam will only heed my orders.
He won't listen to any other human.
Adam!
Come out. It's me, Milly!
Please listen to me!
If you blow up this train, I'll die.
Why are you here?
Go back to everyone else.
I want to talk with Adam.
Doing that is meaningless.
You're in my way. Get out.
But I'm Adam's friend!
Look at Milly's tears.
She got me totally soaked.
I can't blame her. These are almost like...
Huh? Huh? That can't be.
I don't believe it.
This is just plain water.
What's going on here?
Adam, I love you.
You're so cool and kind.
I want to see you again.
D-Darn it!
The circuits are all torn up.
It'll take me half a day
to fix this! D-Darn it!
Nine minutes and thirty seconds left.
My hunch is that Milly is a robot.
Milly went to try and persuade Adam.
If they're both robots,
will she be able to get through to him?
Milly is a robot? That's ridiculous.
Here I have Secretary Credit's bag.
Inside, there's a blueprint for Milly's body.
I can't believe it. I met Milly three years ago.
That girl was definitely human.
Adam!
Adam, it's you!
Adam came out. We did it!
Milly! Good job! You did it!
What's this?
Come see. Something strange is happening.
The pipe is gone.
No, the ocean is disappearing.
Hey, what's going on here?
What are we traveling through?
I'd like to ask the same question.
Maybe the blast already happened,
and we all died. What do you think?
That could be it.
Don't make jokes!
I don't feel dead yet!
That was a bit too much.
Where are we?
That person is...
Welcome, wonderful youths.
The Mu Empire bids all of you welcome.
Who are you? How did you get in here?
I am the Prime Minister, Don Dra.
Our new king seeks an audience with you.
Please disembark.
What's gonna happen to us?
Are these guys human?
He said this is the Mu Empire.
The Mu Empire?
This is incredible.
It's a palace.
I have no clue what's going on.
I have brought them.
Welcome, my beloved fools.
What?
Bow when I speak to you.
Bow!
Don Dra!
Did you fail to teach these
people proper etiquette?
H-Hey, hey, hey, lower your heads.
Like this.
My name is Prince Sharaku.
Prophet and divine child of civilization.
I have come from Planet Kryptrypton.
You hear that? He says
he's from another planet.
Impudence!
Next time, you'll lose
more than just your hat.
I know what you wish to ask.
Why and how did you come to this place?
And with your vehicle as well.
I will tell you. You crossed dimensions.
We... crossed dimensions?
This place is separated from your world
by ten thousand years.
However, by crossing dimensions,
you can come here.
We have a machine for it.
I don't really understand what you're saying.
You are apparently an engineer.
If you can't understand such a simple thing,
you must be an incredible fool.
Take these people to their rooms.
Hey! H-Hey! Hey! Oh!
What are you doing?!
Kick back and relax for a while.
For the love of...
I keep telling you all.
For starters, those robot kids'
behavior is disgraceful!
Would you cut that out already?
Just because Adam and Milly are robots,
it doesn't mean you can blame them.
Shh! Something's coming!
You're...
Rock.
We meet again.
I-Is she an acquaintance of yours?
The queen of the Mu Empire.
A queen?
She does have a certain elegance to her.
So you really did exist.
This is my country.
Then who is that man calling
himself Prince Sharaku?
An invader.
He is?
He teamed up with Prime Minister Don Dra to take over the country.
He said he came from the stars.
Yes. One day they descended
in a strange vehicle from the sky.
They said they were colonists.
And they taught us incredible things about culture and technology.
They said they would make us wealthy.
This country didn't have
written communication yet
and hadn't even invented vehicles.
So thinking it would be nice
if our lives were easier,
we allowed them to immigrate.
Certainly, they had various magics.
For some time, we were amazed
by their miracles.
And so, we got along well.
But soon enough,
the immigrants began their cruel invasion.
Sharaku manipulated the Prime Minister.
He went around invading other islands.
And he made slaves of us.
When people refused to obey,
he would erase entire islands in an instant.
Right now, Sharaku is trying to gather all the treasures of the sea.
He's putting his plans in order.
Creating a vehicle that travels across the seabed.
A vehicle that travels across the seabed?
Really?
So the prince wants the Marine Express.
I know. I've figured it out!
He plans to use it as a reference.
If that happens, the sea
will be horribly polluted.
We have to stop him!
How?
We mustn't give him the Marine Express.
We can't leave like this.
We'll side with you.
We'll fight against the prince.
Heh, how impudent!
You dunderhead!
Bring the queen to me!
Don't be ridiculous!
I'll have no part in this!
I'm not fighting.
I'm not interested either.
Count me out too.
Fine. Run if you want, cowards.
I'll stay here with the queen
to save this country.
Oh no!
Queen, why do you oppose me?
I allow you to maintain
your position as a queen
because I love you.
Why do you betray me so?
Stay away from me!
Even looking at your face is unpleasant!
Is that right?
But if I were to order it,
I could destroy your country at will.
And that brat who's sworn
his loyalty to you, Rock?
He'll be dying tonight regardless.
You can look forward to seeing
just how I'll kill him.
Invader!
I told you.
The Marine Express needs to be destroyed.
Mankind always does the same things again and again.
This Mu Empire may have been ruined
by committing the same mistakes as us.
Doctor, when will I be able to leave here?
Tomorrow is the soonest we'll be able to move you, Professor, and just barely.
Adam.
Yes.
Destroy this train once they've carried me out tomorrow.
I will let you decide how to do it.
Rock, do you have anything
to say about this?
Not a thing.
But I'm disappointed.
During the war,
the Japanese Army used POWs to build a great bridge over the River Kwai.
But it seems as soon as it was complete, the prisoners themselves blew it up.
Humans are always doing meaningless things.
It's nothing to be concerned about.
I'll give disintegrator guns to everyone.
I feel we're going to need them tonight.
Doctor, I don't see the queen,
just the prince.
He probably doesn't want
to let her see him kill us.
I wonder when he'll bare his fangs.
They may suddenly charge us
with those swords.
No, it won't be them.
The prince wouldn't be that careless.
He knows quite well that
we won't just let him kill us,
so he probably won't attack us
with weak swords.
He plans to bring death on us with some power
of his that we can't predict.
Blow darts!
The feast is now at its end,
but the moon is still high.
Guests, please relax and enjoy yourselves on the beach.
Nothing happened.
It's strange.
Darn that prince.
Maybe he got cold feet.
We were just too nervous.
Could be.
It sure is quiet.
It really is.
I still can't believe we're in the Mu Empire
ten thousand years ago.
Doctor?
What are you doing there, Doctor?
What are you carving?
Nothing much.
Just my initials.
Why?
No real reason. I just wanted
to carve them here.
Plus your treatment fee,
five million yen.
If I leave this here, someone will see it
ten thousand years from now.
You're still after that five million yen?
I'm a tenacious man.
What's that noise?
Is it an earthquake?
It's the sound of something heavy falling.
Something's coming!
From up there!
Run for it!
How was that?
I killed them with the stone statues using my psychic energy.
Surely they were crushed like cockroaches.
How pitiful.
Well, you see, they all survived and fled to the queen's villa.
What?!
You fool!
Why didn't you come up
with a plan to stop them?!
Make the queen call them back!
Give the order to the queen right now!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
I have come to warn you, Your Majesty.
I don't want to hear anything from a man
who would sell his country to invaders.
Rock and the others have fled to your villa.
Then Rock is all right?
He's all right, but not for long.
Prince Sharaku has sent a thousand soldiers to the villa.
You are the only one who can
stop this, Your Majesty.
If you tell Rock to come back quietly...
I will stop the soldiers!
If I don't, Rock and the others
will be massacred.
Now, Your Majesty,
there is no time to spare.
Write a letter quickly.
Don Dra, I have...
I have made up my mind.
I will entrust this crown to you.
So does that mean you're abdicating the throne to me?
Why, how gracious of you!
Don't you want it?
No, but this is such an undeserved honor.
The queen is sleeping.
Do not open this door.
Understood.
Here they come.
We can't take on thousands of men.
It's a huge force.
This is why I said I didn't want to fight.
How many soldiers do we have?
Only 50?!
We don't stand a chance!
But the queen and justice are on our side.
It's the queen!
It's time for the final battle.
Luck be with you.
And with you as well.
I will fight with all my strength.
Those soldiers were once my followers.
Why must those who once shared happiness together now fight?
The invaders are our only true enemies here.
If we can just drive that alien away, surely peace will return.
This is like The Lord of the Rings.
They've stopped.
All right!
Don't be hasty. The disintegrator gun can't reach them yet.
Milly, I have to go.
No matter what?
Dad ordered me to.
To save him and destroy the train.
Will you die?
I don't know.
No! No, I don't want you to die!
Come back! For sure!
If I can, I will.
But even if I don't come back,
don't be sad.
I was originally created for this.
That's not true!
I'm going to be your wife!
I'm coming with you!
I'm a robot too, after all!
I can help!
Milly, you're not a robot.
I'm a robot.
My dad said that you're a human girl.
No way.
I have to go now.
Milly, take care.
I'll come too!
Milly, you really are human.
You have warm blood.
Live long and have healthy babies.
Farewell!
Adam!
Adam!
Don't die!
I may never be able to see you again.
Rock, survive this.
Prepare to fire!
Fire!
Prince Sharaku, are you here?
If you're there, answer me!
This battle is meaningless.
Let's settle this between the two of us.
I don't care what weapon you use!
Come at me! We'll duel!
What's the matter?! Come out!
You coward!
Come out!
Sharaku!
Is it a bird?
Is it a plane?
No, it's Super Leo!
There you are!
Don't get in my way!
Oh no! It was a doll.
Rock, you totally fell for it.
This is a speaker.
I am broadcasting from the palace.
Let me show you that resistance is futile.
This is my psychic energy.
No matter how you struggle,
you cannot resist this.
My Lord!
This man says he has important news for you.
He snuck out of the queen's
fortress to come here.
King.
I have a condition before I talk.
If you'll return just me
to the world we came from,
I'll tell you something important.
A deal, is it? It will depend on
what you have to say.
Well, I won't say it then.
Off with his head!
Wait!
The train is going to get blown up soon.
Someone, bring him to the dimensional transfer device.
That robot Adam is crossing the ocean to come save Professor Nasenkopf.
Once that's done,
he'll blow up the Marine Express.
This is no lie!
It's about time for him to arrive!
What?!
Send me back where I came from!
Where you came from?
Very well!
Not where I came from!
That's the middle of the ocean!
I want to go to-
We found him! There he is!
Kill him!
Spare me!
Adam, it's too late.
Quickly, hurry to the cockpit.
Don't worry about me.
Adam!
Milly, you were badly hurt before.
You're a cyborg with most of your body replaced with machine parts.
But you're still human.
I'm really human?
Sure you are.
Hey, if you'd like, why not be my little sister?
I'd like that a lot!
I'm going back.
What will they do?
I'm sure Rock will stay here.
He's doing pretty well with the queen.
Seems like they love each other.
What about you, Doctor?
Me? I guess I can't just let them be.
There are so many injured people.
Heh, did you finally awaken
to the joys of charity?
I'll be demanding huge sums
of money, of course!
When I'm done, I'll head back.
What about my five million yen?
I'll collect it from you when I get back.
So long.
Send me to some island with a station.
Take care, Detective.
History tells us that the Mu Empire was eventually destroyed.
Hey, you still going to stay?
I'll turn that history upside down.
Anyway, when you get back, tell people that they shouldn't pollute the seas.
Do it to save the Earth, okay?
Yeah, I'll tell them.
Hey, what are you doing over there?
This is bad. Someone collapsed over there.
He's not one of the islanders.
I'm Ban Shunsaku, the old mustachioed man.
I'm Japanese!
I'm not a tourist.
I've come back from the Mu Empire.
The Mu Empire?
Don't you know? It's a country from ten thousand years ago!
So the Marine Express had an accident, right?
When it happened, the whole train was sent to the Mu Empire.
In other words, dimensional travel.
Don't you get it?!
The Marine Express?
There was an accident, and everyone died.
Did you alone survive and wash up here?
That's not it! I didn't wash up here.
I came from the Mu-
This is it!
I saw this thing in the Mu Empire!
No doubt about it!
These ruins can be found here and there around the island.
I think you lost consciousness
and hallucinated it.
After all, that Mu Empire you mentioned is just a legend, you know.
The Marine Express sank,
passengers and all,
ten thousand meters underwater
in the Japan Trench.
The project has been put on indefinite hiatus.
I'm sure that's it.
That trip to the Mu Empire was
just a ridiculous dream.
After the accident, I must
have gone a little crazy.
Everyone else died.
I should consider it fortuitous
that I even survived.
What's this? What's this?
1979 A.D.
Presented by Orphan & M74
California 2002 A.D.
My name is Ban Shunsaku.
I was born in Kanda, Tokyo and work as a private detective.
I had come to America on an assignment from a certain man.
This man.
He had learned the secret behind an arms smuggling group.
They were after his life.
He's dead.
How awful!
Wh-What's this?!
H-He's melting. Melting!
He melted.
Who's there?!
Whoa!
Hi-yah!
Hi-yah!
How dare you do this to me!
I'll remember this!
Wh-Where the heck is this?
Wh-Where am I?
Where do you think you're going...
...without paying for your treatment?
You aren't better yet.
Come on, back to bed.
I happened to be passing by.
I saved you.
This is my clinic.
Wh-What?
So you treated me, Doctor?
Here's the invoice for my services.
You need to pay me five million yen.
There goes my dizziness!
What's with this invoice?!
Five million?!
You think I can pay that?
Is that right? I saved your life, you know.
I'm asking you if you think
I really have five million yen!
You're a private detective, aren't you?
The chairman of the undersea train corporation, Mr. Shylock,
said there were people after his life.
You were hired to investigate the culprits, weren't you?
I was his doctor.
That day, I was passing by.
I found you.
You were injured and on the verge of death.
Mr. Shylock melted before my very eyes!
This is a big case! I need to investigate.
That will have to wait.
First, you need to pay
the five million yen treatment fee.
I don't have five million yen.
You're not leaving until you pay.
Look, Doctor.
It's the Marine Express station. There are so many people.
See?
There's a trial run for the Marine Express today.
That's him!
He was there!
That's the guy who did this
to me that night!
I won't let him get away!
Hold it! Pay your bill before you go!
He's gone aboard the Marine Express.
I'll do whatever it takes to capture him
and make him spill the truth.
Sounds impossible for you.
I just know that guy is working
for the arms smugglers.
Until I get my five million yen out of you,
I won't leave you alone.
Dammit.
Daddy, it's so pretty.
I'll be able to go swimming
in this sea, won't I?
That's right.
Hey, Daddy, will I be able to meet a mermaid here in the southern seas?
A mermaid? There's no such thing.
Yes, there is!
They show up in the book
you bought me, Daddy!
Do they? Well, that's just a fairy tale.
It's not a fairy tale.
You don't know anything, Daddy.
It's opening day now.
Sure is.
Dad, it's the Aqua Port.
Dad?
You aren't much into this, even though the weather's good for a test run.
Isn't it, Adam?
Yeah.
It's the world's first undersea train, and our dad designed it.
Don't say that, Rock.
It's wonderful that I'll have
the chance to drive it today.
What's so wonderful about it?
I'll have you know, I'm ashamed.
Why?
I've created such an awful thing.
The joint Japan-America project,
the undersea train Marine Express,
is now opening.
This is a truly joyous occasion
for both countries.
It is most unfortunate that
the man most responsible for this project,
Chairman Scrooge Shylock,
has gone missing and...
is therefore unable to attend today's test.
But our friend and
world-renowned authority
on railway engineering,
Professor Nasenkopf, has graced us
with his presence.
I made it.
Oh, my, my, my.
What's going on?
What's with this? All the passengers are...
Huh?!
They're all dolls!
These are dummies.
Dummies?
What do you mean, "dummies"?
Dolls that take the place of humans.
They'll sit here during the test run to see how they're affected.
Heh, is that all it is?
How boring! Out of my way. Jeez!
These seats were meant for humans to sit in!
Marine Express #1 will be
departing momentarily.
Rock, is everything okay?
Leave it to me.
Greetings, passengers.
I am Rock Nasenkopf. I will be your pilot on the Marine Express today.
This super express train will travel from the Aqua Port in Los Angeles
to Tokyo, Japan, crossing 25,000 kilometers of the Pacific sea floor.
On the way, there are stops at the Marquesas Islands in Polynesia,
Samoa in Melanesia,
and finally at Ponape in Micronesia.
Then we will arrive in Tokyo, Japan.
This trip will take roughly 40 hours.
We will be speeding along at 400 km/h.
We are now traveling 2000 meters deep along California's continental shelf.
Curse that murderer.
Where is he?
I'm sure he's around here.
Come in.
I have brought your drinks.
Now then,
should I pour you some juice, young man?
That boy won't drink anything.
Well, perhaps some sweets?
He won't eat! He won't drink!
Leave us alone!
I wasn't aware that he was ill.
I'll take him to the emergency room.
Stop that! Get out!
That brat ain't human.
Daddy, look.
Ships. Look, there are so many of them.
Everyone, this is a ship graveyard.
Here we see nearly 50 sunken ships sleeping at the bottom of the sea.
This is a display of the awful history of maritime accidents.
Among them are victims of war as well.
Look!
That's a destroyer from our country.
A ship that was sunk
during World War II.
Actually, everyone, during
this construction project,
these ships were found in various places and gathered here.
What happened to their passengers?
They died.
Will that happen to this train too?
It will be fine.
Something's coming.
Check it.
Something's right in front of us.
200 meters ahead.
Check what it is.
What incredible energy. Could this be...
It can't be!
It's the Ikazett Volcano!
That volcano is supposed to be extinct!
It's right next to the tracks.
Oh no!
Ah! It's a volcano!
Passengers, there is no need to be afraid.
Please fasten your seat belts.
This train will soon begin
traveling at 1000 km/h.
This is no joke.
Help me!
Help me!
This is awful!
Please go back to your seat!
My seat is a long way away.
Even if it's a long way,
go back to your seat.
By the way, do you think we'll survive?
We'll be past this in ten seconds.
Consarnit! Why'd I ever get
on this crazy train?!
Turn back! Take us back to safety!
You idiot! Put me down, you heap of junk!
There's nothing to fear.
This pipe has special elastic properties.
It can bounce things back to some degree.
We're all right now. Please, calm down.
Passengers, please remove
your seat belts and relax.
That volcano was supposed to be extinct, but it just happened to erupt.
The Marine Express will not be passing by any more volcanoes.
Instead, you can see
this undersea mountain range.
Like mountains on land,
these are folds in the Earth's crust.
Here there are peaks as high as the Alps, and valleys as well.
In other words, the terrain underwater is the same as above.
It's just that there are no trees
or rivers or grass.
Put on some tea.
For this guy as well.
Are you the conductor?
Well, I guess you could call me that.
Though I'm just a temporary one.
I see. I'm a Japanese private detective. The name's Ban Shunsaku.
Oh, thanks.
What's a detective doing on this train?
Now don't get too frightened.
The truth is, there's a murderer on this train.
A murderer, you say?!
That's right! The guy who killed Scrooge Shylock.
But the papers said
his whereabouts were unknown.
Well, about that, he's been killed.
On top of that,
he melted.
Is that true?
Yes, and I saw the murderer
get on board this train.
He's definitely here somewhere.
That can't be.
That's not all.
Arms smugglers are involved!
Killers from the arms smuggling group are after those who know the secret!
Or they may be out to take
over the train itself.
In other words, hijackers.
Nonsense. That isn't possible.
That's why I'm telling you
to turn this train around!
Don't hit that!
You'll damage the meters.
I can't turn this train back now.
The test has already begun.
Well then, put everyone off
at the next station!
People's lives are at stake!
I understand what you're saying.
But without concrete proof,
there's nothing I can do.
Put that man outside the cab.
Come on, listen to me-
What are you doing to me, you tin freak?!
Everyone, please look out
your windows to the right.
You will see some table-like mountains.
These are known as guyots.
They are strange formations that you can see here and there under the sea.
How these things were created
is still unknown.
Hmph, who cares about some guyots?!
Guyot!
He's dead.
It's a murder.
A-Another murder!
There's a person dead right near here!
It's here! Right here!
Where was someone killed?
Here. Right here.
He was collapsed right here.
Where?
He vanished! Just like last time.
This is ridiculous.
Don't call me out for stupid stuff like this.
Oh no! No! No! No!
I really saw him! He had two eyes and one mouth!
It was human! Yes, a human!
With a face like this.
You over there, who are you?
Who are you?
What are you doing?
I'm waiting for Daddy.
He's gone to the power car.
I see.
Daddy told me to go to sleep, but I can't.
And I'm bored.
I've already read the book I brought.
And I have no friends.
Hey, will you be my friend?
What's your name?
I'm Adam.
My name is Mildred Credit.
You can call me Milly.
Hurry up and do it.
Place a kiss on the back of my hand.
Why?
You kiss a lady's hand to greet her.
Don't you know proper etiquette?
You're a strange kid.
Why?
You have a face that looks like a doll's.
Your voice sounds like
it's coming from a microphone.
Is it that strange?
But I don't mind that.
Come over this way.
The sea sure is dark.
It's really boring.
I thought it would be more interesting, with mermaids swimming around.
Mermaids?
What? You don't know what mermaids are?
What are they like?
They're in Andersen's story.
A-Andersen?
You're hopeless.
You don't know anything, do you?
I'm sorry.
Wait here. I'll bring the book
and explain it to you.
What are you doing?
Go back to your room.
U-Um...
I wanted to play with Adam.
Stay away from this boy!
Here, read this, Adam.
Thank you.
You can return it whenever you want.
That girl is Secretary Credit's daughter.
Never speak to her again, Adam.
Why?
Not for any reason!
You have an important job to do, Adam.
You mustn't forget that.
Don't speak to too many humans.
Let me see your face.
The bolt on your vocal cords is loose.
Dad.
It's wonderful.
Things are going great.
I have something to talk to you about.
What is it, Dad?
You're adopted, so you're white.
But I'm a Polynesian, from the Maori tribe.
When I was young, I abandoned that land,
with its lack of connections to European culture.
I went to Germany as a transfer student.
But what was waiting for me there was severe discrimination from white people.
I withstood it.
I worked.
Then I crossed over to America to study.
I had a classmate by the name of Credit.
He was a total white supremacist,
and he bullied me.
Thirty years passed,
and I received a Nobel Prize.
Credit became the American Secretary of State.
Um, are you talking about Secretary Credit?
What an irony.
Under the orders of my old enemy, Credit,
I'm carrying out construction
that will pollute my homeland.
In addition...
If the undersea train lines go there, the islands will be developed.
They will become tourist spots, and pollution will increase.
Public morals will be poisoned, and the sea will be ruined.
I'm sure that won't happen.
History shows us it will.
The sole remaining unspoiled
bit of nature, the sea,
and the culture of the islands
will be destroyed.
I must not let this business succeed.
Get everyone off at the next station.
Rock, you get off too.
Why?
This train must not reach the last stop.
What do you mean?
I will destroy it with my own two hands.
That's ridiculous!
You can rat me out to Credit
and have me arrested.
I won't rat you out.
But I absolutely will not allow you
to destroy this train, Dad.
This room is the heart of the train.
This is the center of everything.
As long as I am here,
the train is safe.
Get out, please!
Dad...
This is our first stop.
We have arrived at the Marquesas.
We will stop here for three hours.
Please take your time and relax.
He could cooperate a little!
Accursed dolls.
If I tell someone at the station
about that murder...
Where did my father go?
He was with the secretary.
You were discussing a terrifying plot
with your son, weren't you?
I have decided as a good American citizen to destroy that train.
It's too late for you to stop me, Credit.
You never could understand my feelings!
You impertinent Polynesian.
This is your final warning.
There's nothing left for me to think about.
Then I will arrest you for treason.
You're well prepared, gentlemen of the CIA.
But until I have finished my work, I won't let you catch me!
Capture him!
Where's your Daddy?
He went that way.
Dad!
Dad...
I feel sorry for you.
What?
But cheer up.
Who is it?
Where are you?
Who are you?
I'm here.
What is this?
A firefly?
There's a little dwarf in the light.
I'm not a dwarf.
Th-Then a fairy?
What are you?
I am a woman of the past.
Of the past?
Then you're a ghost?
From your perspective, perhaps.
After all, it was ten thousand years ago.
Ten thousand years?
Don't approach me!
This was my palace.
This pile of rocks.
Your palace?
Then you're...
These were the castle walls.
Were you a queen or something?
Of what country?
The Mu Empire.
The Mu Empire?
I've heard stories about it.
So it really existed.
The legends say your country sank.
Invaders came.
Invaders?
What happened?
One day,
people from another world
descended from the skies.
We'd been living in peace,
but those people taught us
about murder, betrayal, and discrimination.
And in no time at all,
they had made us their slaves.
Rock, this project of yours will surely
ruin the people of this island country.
So you're saying that we're invaders?
Is that it?
For me, the Marine Express is something I inherited from my father.
I won't let anyone get in its way.
But Professor Nasenkopf
warned you about this.
Listen, Queen, I don't care
what anyone says.
I'm going to make the Marine Express a success.
I definitely won't let it stop halfway.
I swear it on my father's pride, and my own.
Rock, we will meet again.
Wait!
I have a question!
Queen...
I wonder if she was a ghost.
She said she was from
the Mu Empire, if I recall.
He isn't dead yet.
What?
He still shows pupillary reaction.
Which means?
He's in a state of suspended animation or perhaps a vegetative state.
Then will he survive?
If the train stops, I may be able to save him with surgery.
If we move him,
he'll likely never regain consciousness.
If you can save him, please do.
I have conditions.
First, stop the train for a day.
Second, my fee will be 100 million yen.
100 million yen?!
500 thousand dollars?!
Well?
I'm sure it's worth that much to you.
Hey, you!
I don't care what it takes.
Get this train moving right now.
Here are your orders.
Doctor,
will my father make it?
His brain still shows some activity.
Don't say a word.
Come with me to the power car right now.
Who are you?
It doesn't matter.
Get moving.
All right.
Launch the train.
What?
Don't move.
Make the robot do it.
No way!
They're in the middle of an operation! What will happen if the train moves?
We're making them stop that operation.
Now, do it!
Don't be ridiculous!
Who are you?!
If you'd like, I can destroy
this cockpit and you with it.
If that happens, this train is finished.
Dewy, start the engine.
Who the heck are you people?!
Don't ask questions you shouldn't.
Just do as you're told.
Preparations for departure are complete.
Tell him to launch.
No! It'll ruin Dad's operation!
Please stop this!
I'll say it again! Tell him to launch!
Dewy, launch. The train is departing.
What's going on?
We're moving!
Daddy, we suddenly started moving!
No!
Stop the train!
I can't operate like this!
The train takes off on its own.
And the vice-minister has gone missing.
Just what the heck is going on here?
Sasaki, go to the power car and find out!
I can't stop the operation now.
It's do or die.
Buddha help me!
W-Wait! I don't know anything!
I'm just an underling!
Why have you started the train?
Look out!
What a fool.
You got to see something interesting.
This is a type of disintegrator gun.
It's been developed recently.
It's still in the experimental stage.
But in time, it will be used
on the battlefield as well.
Ah, sharks!
We need to speed up, or the sharks will mistake us for an enemy!
The brat talks too much.
I don't plan to kill him, but that should shut him up for a bit.
D-Don't kill me! P-Please!
Don't flip out.
If Nasenkopf dies from this,
our job will be finished.
What is that?!
I-It's a school of sharks!
Daddy, I'm scared!
The train should be safe. Calm down.
Daddy will go see what's happening. Wait here.
No! I'm coming with you!
Do as you're told.
Daddy, come back.
Thank you for the book.
Hey, could you stay here a while?
Look at that. See?
It's glaring at us.
What is that?
It's a man-eating shark!
Ah!
Adam, aren't you scared?
I don't know what fear is.
Because you're a boy?
I'm not human, after all.
Huh?
I'm a dummy.
What's a dummy?
I'm a doll created for an experiment.
A doll? Then are you a robot?
Professor Nasenkopf made me.
Huh? Now that you mention it,
I always felt you were kind of a strange kid.
Still, you're my friend, right?
Hey, you are, aren't you?
Milly, I came to say goodbye.
Goodbye?
Where are you going?
No! Don't leave! Stay with me!
Th-The sharks have started tackling us!
They're horrifying!
Th-They're trying to smash
the pipe to eat us!
Run for it! Speed up!
Hey, robot!
Speed up! Shake off those sharks!
What's wrong?!
Can't you understand me?!
It's no good! That thing'll
only listen to the kid!
Come on, I'm begging you, wake up!
I said wake up!
It's no good! Do we have any drugs or water?!
Hey, where's the water?!
You piece of junk!
I'll go to the medical room and get drugs!
Don't go!
I'll shoot you!
Milly, cheer up.
I have to go now.
Milly, farewell.
Adam, don't leave me, please!
Darn it!
What are you?!
Adam.
Dewy, shut the auxiliary blinds.
Shutting auxiliary blinds.
Dewy, increase our speed
to 800 km/h!
800 km/h.
That was awful.
Adam, you saved me.
Your stomach...
Will you be all right?
After all,
Dad is the only one who can repair you.
That's right. Dad!
What happened to him?
I'm going to the medical room.
Brother, I'm here on Dad's orders.
What? Dad sent you here?
Yes. That was the plan from the beginning.
Plan? What plan?
I was created along with this train.
There is a computer room over there, right?
I am a part of that computer.
Say what?!
Inside my body, there is an order to blow up
this train without letting it stop.
That's a lie! It has to be!
If I go in there and connect to the computer,
this train will explode in 24 hours.
There's no way you can do
something like that.
You're just a slightly elaborate dummy.
You were created to help test this train.
That's-
Brother, you're wrong!
Dad created me to mess up this train.
It's too late now.
Wait. Don't go in there!
Farewell, Brother.
Wait!
Let's talk this over. Okay, Adam?
I will stop this train at the next station for just three minutes.
Get everyone off.
After that, until the explosion,
I won't stop.
Adam!
Hey, open up!
Adam!
Dewy, open this!
Dewy!
What's wrong?
Can't you hear me?!
The machines are moving on their own!
The buttons aren't working.
I can't switch over to manual control either!
Wait. Stop!
I get it. It's moving according to Adam's orders.
I have taken control of this room.
Humans can no longer touch it.
Get out.
If you do not get out, you will die.
I won't get out!
Dammit!
Th-This is no joke!
It's not my fault m-my partner
got himself killed!
I'm through with this, Boss!
D-Don't fool around!
I don't care what happens to your plans.
Stop! Stop! Please, wait!
I don't know anything!
I wouldn't say anything even if I did!
Spare me, Boss!
Hi-yah!
Whoa there.
Mr. Credit.
It's no use.
I've figured out your entire plan.
You were planning to use
this Marine Express
to smuggle strategic materials secretly.
It seems these disintegrator guns
were recently developed in America.
You were secretly diverting them into the black market.
To bring them to Asia,
you were trying to use this route.
What proof do you have?
Here's my proof!
I heard from Mr. Shylock
that there was a conspiracy to use
the Marine Express to smuggle weapons.
I had no idea where you would hide them during transit.
Putting them inside the dummies was clever.
The tests will continue for a while.
During that time, the dummies will carry
tens of thousands of disintegrator guns for you.
A number of people have uncovered your plot.
You've been hiring killers to erase them.
That's right.
Now then, Detective,
do you know how to use one of these disintegrator guns?
Let me teach you. Watch closely.
Daddy!
Daddy, stop!
Please, don't shoot!
Daddy!
No! Milly, this is dangerous!
Milly, let go of me!
No, Daddy. Stop! Stop shooting people!
This is an adult problem. Don't interfere!
Come on, Daddy!
Daddy, you're not a bad person, right?
Daddy, you're a good person, right?
You're not a murderer, right?
Don't shoot that thing!
I don't want my daddy to shoot people!
Be quiet!
Is this better?
Milly...
Daddy!
Why did I go and bring you with me?
To such an awful place.
No, it's a good thing you did bring her.
As a father, we wouldn't want you to betray your daughter.
What are you going to do with me now?
There's no helping it. I'll hand you to the authorities at the next station.
We've got trouble!
Everyone, big trouble!
The computer's gone mad!
We're on a runaway train!
What? Did you say the computer
has gone mad?
Dad said he would definitely
destroy this train.
His trump card was Adam.
No! Adam's not a bad boy like that!
It... Adam won't listen to anything
but Dad's orders!
It's only a robot!
Why not just smash it?
We can't.
We can't get into the power room.
Then is Professor Nasenkopf,
who's in surgery right now,
the only one who can stop it?
That's right.
How's the operation going?
I don't know.
That doctor is charging
an exorbitant 100 million yen!
Make sure he saves him, no matter what!
Hurry up!
We'll reach the second station soon.
Samoa.
While we're stopped there for three minutes,
we'll have the bomb squad come aboard and remove Adam.
Hello. Hello. This is Marine Express. Samoa Station, come in.
It's no good! I can't get through
to Samoa Station.
The signal is being jammed!
By what?
I dunno!
Everyone,
this train is dangerous. Please get off.
Milly, you get off.
This is Daddy's responsibility,
so I have to stay here.
No, I'll stay with you, Daddy.
Milly, please understand.
Do as you're told without
a fuss and get off.
No! I don't want to be all alone!
I'm getting off.
Ow! Darn it!
This wasn't the exit?
Oh no! This is the toilet!
Oh no, I can't open it anymore!
Hey, let me out!
Is anyone there?! Open the door!
Get out!
Doctor.
I'm operating now. Don't come in.
Doctor, this is an emergency.
You and the professor have to get off.
You idiot! Are you trying to kill the patient?
But the train is out of control.
It's going to explode!
That's not my concern.
I took on this operation.
Nothing else matters.
I accepted the job of saving this man,
so I will complete the operation.
If you're just going to stand there,
I'll chuck you out!
Be careful of the electricity.
We're wearing insulated clothing.
It will be fine.
Okay, you take the right.
Don't mess up.
We're shut out!
Won't it open?
It won't!
Darn it, he figured us out!
How is it over there?
It's shut tight!
Burn through the doors!
Hurry!
There's an incredible magnetic force!
What's going on?!
It sucked in my tools,
and I can't pull them off!
Everything's totally stuck!
Hold on! I'll open a hole with a disintegrator gun!
Hold on!
Wait!
Hey, stop!
Stop!
Hold on!
Wait!
It is too late for you.
You failed to heed my warning.
You made no attempt to get off.
I will not stop again.
You will all share the same fate as me.
I will explode in twelve hours.
Spare me!
In twelve hours, we will be directly above the Japan Trench.
It's one of the deepest parts of the ocean, with a depth of ten thousand meters.
If we blow up there,
that's the end of everything.
This was the hardest part during construction.
Repairing it will likely be impossible.
This is because you didn't put a repair crew aboard!
I brought them!
But the train didn't let them aboard! The train didn't!
That's why the train ended up like this!
Both of you, shut up!
Given what's happened,
I have a few words for you.
We Japanese have cooperated in this project and put in a lot of money.
Who is going to take responsibility for this?!
What?! You're a rotten official
who made a killing off this, I'm sure!
What?!
I'm innocent! I'll sue you for defamation!
Please stop fighting!
Huh?
Huh?
Doctor!
Is the operation finished?
H-How did it go?
Will the professor survive?
W-Was it a failure?!
Let me sleep a while.
Huh? H-Hey, come on.
Tell us how it went, Doc.
Be straight with us.
I promised, didn't I?
The patient's still alive.
Hurrah! Thank goodness!
Then let's have the professor stop the train right away.
Don't be in such a rush.
The operation just finished.
He's still asleep.
When will he wake up?
He won't awaken for half a day.
You're kidding me!
Half a day from now,
the train will blow up!
You're too noisy.
Could you keep it down?
Success comes to those
who sleep and wait, you know.
You call yourself a 100 million yen doctor?!
There's nothing else for it!
We need to take up weapons
and storm in there!
Let's smash that computer!
Mr. Credit, let us borrow some of your disintegrator guns.
What's this?!
I-It's water!
Why is there wa-
Run! Run!
Everyone run! There's electricity
running through it!
I'm being paralyzed! Ow! Ow! Ow!
I'm breaking through! Stop!
Don't stop me!
This is insane!
It's suicidal! We'll be at Ponape
Station in one minute!
If we miss it, there is no chance
for us to be saved! I'm getting off!
We're traveling at 1000 km/h!
We should slow down
as we pass through the station!
Moron! If you jump out, you're finished!
Argh! Get in my way, and I'll shoot you!
Oh! It's Ponape Station!
Farewell, everyone!
Hurry up and shut it!
He broke the glass on the observation car. He'd gone crazy.
I feel bad for him.
He must've panicked.
Looks like we're finally on course towards hell.
Are we going to die with this train in another six hours?
I definitely won't let the train blow up!
Acting tough won't do us any good.
There's no way to stop it.
What is it, Doctor?
The professor has regained consciousness.
Really?!
Dad!
It's me, Dad!
Well done.
Please.
The train is going to blow up
in another six hours.
You're the only one who can stop it, Dad.
Please tell me how, Dad!
Adam is controlling the train, Mister.
Rock, is that you?
Is everyone still on board?
Yes. No one got off.
Why?
I told you to get the passengers off.
Nasenkopf.
Please, save all our lives.
I'm begging you.
Rock,
listen well.
There's a secret emergency exit
in the power room.
Go along the roof to it.
Shoot Unit 9 from the roof.
If you destroy that circuit,
it will break the link to the computer and switch to manual control.
Unit 9 is the pink case to the right
of the gyrocompass.
What's going on? The controls are unresponsive,
even though they should be in manual mode.
They're all dead.
I can't use them!
What should I do?!
Curse that Adam.
He's rendered all the switches useless!
I'll persuade Adam.
Put me in front of the computer.
We can't! If you're moved
right now, you'll die!
If we don't stop the train,
all of us will die.
I'm saying you'll pass out
before you reach the cockpit.
Daddy!
Daddy!
Then what should we do?!
At times like this, even if you know you're 99% guaranteed to fail,
you have to bet on that
last 1% to the very end.
I'll go too.
Adam and I are friends.
I'm sure he'll stop if I ask him to.
He's a robot.
You think your tears mean anything to him?
Adam will only heed my orders.
He won't listen to any other human.
Adam!
Come out. It's me, Milly!
Please listen to me!
If you blow up this train, I'll die.
Why are you here?
Go back to everyone else.
I want to talk with Adam.
Doing that is meaningless.
You're in my way. Get out.
But I'm Adam's friend!
Look at Milly's tears.
She got me totally soaked.
I can't blame her. These are almost like...
Huh? Huh? That can't be.
I don't believe it.
This is just plain water.
What's going on here?
Adam, I love you.
You're so cool and kind.
I want to see you again.
D-Darn it!
The circuits are all torn up.
It'll take me half a day
to fix this! D-Darn it!
Nine minutes and thirty seconds left.
My hunch is that Milly is a robot.
Milly went to try and persuade Adam.
If they're both robots,
will she be able to get through to him?
Milly is a robot? That's ridiculous.
Here I have Secretary Credit's bag.
Inside, there's a blueprint for Milly's body.
I can't believe it. I met Milly three years ago.
That girl was definitely human.
Adam!
Adam, it's you!
Adam came out. We did it!
Milly! Good job! You did it!
What's this?
Come see. Something strange is happening.
The pipe is gone.
No, the ocean is disappearing.
Hey, what's going on here?
What are we traveling through?
I'd like to ask the same question.
Maybe the blast already happened,
and we all died. What do you think?
That could be it.
Don't make jokes!
I don't feel dead yet!
That was a bit too much.
Where are we?
That person is...
Welcome, wonderful youths.
The Mu Empire bids all of you welcome.
Who are you? How did you get in here?
I am the Prime Minister, Don Dra.
Our new king seeks an audience with you.
Please disembark.
What's gonna happen to us?
Are these guys human?
He said this is the Mu Empire.
The Mu Empire?
This is incredible.
It's a palace.
I have no clue what's going on.
I have brought them.
Welcome, my beloved fools.
What?
Bow when I speak to you.
Bow!
Don Dra!
Did you fail to teach these
people proper etiquette?
H-Hey, hey, hey, lower your heads.
Like this.
My name is Prince Sharaku.
Prophet and divine child of civilization.
I have come from Planet Kryptrypton.
You hear that? He says
he's from another planet.
Impudence!
Next time, you'll lose
more than just your hat.
I know what you wish to ask.
Why and how did you come to this place?
And with your vehicle as well.
I will tell you. You crossed dimensions.
We... crossed dimensions?
This place is separated from your world
by ten thousand years.
However, by crossing dimensions,
you can come here.
We have a machine for it.
I don't really understand what you're saying.
You are apparently an engineer.
If you can't understand such a simple thing,
you must be an incredible fool.
Take these people to their rooms.
Hey! H-Hey! Hey! Oh!
What are you doing?!
Kick back and relax for a while.
For the love of...
I keep telling you all.
For starters, those robot kids'
behavior is disgraceful!
Would you cut that out already?
Just because Adam and Milly are robots,
it doesn't mean you can blame them.
Shh! Something's coming!
You're...
Rock.
We meet again.
I-Is she an acquaintance of yours?
The queen of the Mu Empire.
A queen?
She does have a certain elegance to her.
So you really did exist.
This is my country.
Then who is that man calling
himself Prince Sharaku?
An invader.
He is?
He teamed up with Prime Minister Don Dra to take over the country.
He said he came from the stars.
Yes. One day they descended
in a strange vehicle from the sky.
They said they were colonists.
And they taught us incredible things about culture and technology.
They said they would make us wealthy.
This country didn't have
written communication yet
and hadn't even invented vehicles.
So thinking it would be nice
if our lives were easier,
we allowed them to immigrate.
Certainly, they had various magics.
For some time, we were amazed
by their miracles.
And so, we got along well.
But soon enough,
the immigrants began their cruel invasion.
Sharaku manipulated the Prime Minister.
He went around invading other islands.
And he made slaves of us.
When people refused to obey,
he would erase entire islands in an instant.
Right now, Sharaku is trying to gather all the treasures of the sea.
He's putting his plans in order.
Creating a vehicle that travels across the seabed.
A vehicle that travels across the seabed?
Really?
So the prince wants the Marine Express.
I know. I've figured it out!
He plans to use it as a reference.
If that happens, the sea
will be horribly polluted.
We have to stop him!
How?
We mustn't give him the Marine Express.
We can't leave like this.
We'll side with you.
We'll fight against the prince.
Heh, how impudent!
You dunderhead!
Bring the queen to me!
Don't be ridiculous!
I'll have no part in this!
I'm not fighting.
I'm not interested either.
Count me out too.
Fine. Run if you want, cowards.
I'll stay here with the queen
to save this country.
Oh no!
Queen, why do you oppose me?
I allow you to maintain
your position as a queen
because I love you.
Why do you betray me so?
Stay away from me!
Even looking at your face is unpleasant!
Is that right?
But if I were to order it,
I could destroy your country at will.
And that brat who's sworn
his loyalty to you, Rock?
He'll be dying tonight regardless.
You can look forward to seeing
just how I'll kill him.
Invader!
I told you.
The Marine Express needs to be destroyed.
Mankind always does the same things again and again.
This Mu Empire may have been ruined
by committing the same mistakes as us.
Doctor, when will I be able to leave here?
Tomorrow is the soonest we'll be able to move you, Professor, and just barely.
Adam.
Yes.
Destroy this train once they've carried me out tomorrow.
I will let you decide how to do it.
Rock, do you have anything
to say about this?
Not a thing.
But I'm disappointed.
During the war,
the Japanese Army used POWs to build a great bridge over the River Kwai.
But it seems as soon as it was complete, the prisoners themselves blew it up.
Humans are always doing meaningless things.
It's nothing to be concerned about.
I'll give disintegrator guns to everyone.
I feel we're going to need them tonight.
Doctor, I don't see the queen,
just the prince.
He probably doesn't want
to let her see him kill us.
I wonder when he'll bare his fangs.
They may suddenly charge us
with those swords.
No, it won't be them.
The prince wouldn't be that careless.
He knows quite well that
we won't just let him kill us,
so he probably won't attack us
with weak swords.
He plans to bring death on us with some power
of his that we can't predict.
Blow darts!
The feast is now at its end,
but the moon is still high.
Guests, please relax and enjoy yourselves on the beach.
Nothing happened.
It's strange.
Darn that prince.
Maybe he got cold feet.
We were just too nervous.
Could be.
It sure is quiet.
It really is.
I still can't believe we're in the Mu Empire
ten thousand years ago.
Doctor?
What are you doing there, Doctor?
What are you carving?
Nothing much.
Just my initials.
Why?
No real reason. I just wanted
to carve them here.
Plus your treatment fee,
five million yen.
If I leave this here, someone will see it
ten thousand years from now.
You're still after that five million yen?
I'm a tenacious man.
What's that noise?
Is it an earthquake?
It's the sound of something heavy falling.
Something's coming!
From up there!
Run for it!
How was that?
I killed them with the stone statues using my psychic energy.
Surely they were crushed like cockroaches.
How pitiful.
Well, you see, they all survived and fled to the queen's villa.
What?!
You fool!
Why didn't you come up
with a plan to stop them?!
Make the queen call them back!
Give the order to the queen right now!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
I have come to warn you, Your Majesty.
I don't want to hear anything from a man
who would sell his country to invaders.
Rock and the others have fled to your villa.
Then Rock is all right?
He's all right, but not for long.
Prince Sharaku has sent a thousand soldiers to the villa.
You are the only one who can
stop this, Your Majesty.
If you tell Rock to come back quietly...
I will stop the soldiers!
If I don't, Rock and the others
will be massacred.
Now, Your Majesty,
there is no time to spare.
Write a letter quickly.
Don Dra, I have...
I have made up my mind.
I will entrust this crown to you.
So does that mean you're abdicating the throne to me?
Why, how gracious of you!
Don't you want it?
No, but this is such an undeserved honor.
The queen is sleeping.
Do not open this door.
Understood.
Here they come.
We can't take on thousands of men.
It's a huge force.
This is why I said I didn't want to fight.
How many soldiers do we have?
Only 50?!
We don't stand a chance!
But the queen and justice are on our side.
It's the queen!
It's time for the final battle.
Luck be with you.
And with you as well.
I will fight with all my strength.
Those soldiers were once my followers.
Why must those who once shared happiness together now fight?
The invaders are our only true enemies here.
If we can just drive that alien away, surely peace will return.
This is like The Lord of the Rings.
They've stopped.
All right!
Don't be hasty. The disintegrator gun can't reach them yet.
Milly, I have to go.
No matter what?
Dad ordered me to.
To save him and destroy the train.
Will you die?
I don't know.
No! No, I don't want you to die!
Come back! For sure!
If I can, I will.
But even if I don't come back,
don't be sad.
I was originally created for this.
That's not true!
I'm going to be your wife!
I'm coming with you!
I'm a robot too, after all!
I can help!
Milly, you're not a robot.
I'm a robot.
My dad said that you're a human girl.
No way.
I have to go now.
Milly, take care.
I'll come too!
Milly, you really are human.
You have warm blood.
Live long and have healthy babies.
Farewell!
Adam!
Adam!
Don't die!
I may never be able to see you again.
Rock, survive this.
Prepare to fire!
Fire!
Prince Sharaku, are you here?
If you're there, answer me!
This battle is meaningless.
Let's settle this between the two of us.
I don't care what weapon you use!
Come at me! We'll duel!
What's the matter?! Come out!
You coward!
Come out!
Sharaku!
Is it a bird?
Is it a plane?
No, it's Super Leo!
There you are!
Don't get in my way!
Oh no! It was a doll.
Rock, you totally fell for it.
This is a speaker.
I am broadcasting from the palace.
Let me show you that resistance is futile.
This is my psychic energy.
No matter how you struggle,
you cannot resist this.
My Lord!
This man says he has important news for you.
He snuck out of the queen's
fortress to come here.
King.
I have a condition before I talk.
If you'll return just me
to the world we came from,
I'll tell you something important.
A deal, is it? It will depend on
what you have to say.
Well, I won't say it then.
Off with his head!
Wait!
The train is going to get blown up soon.
Someone, bring him to the dimensional transfer device.
That robot Adam is crossing the ocean to come save Professor Nasenkopf.
Once that's done,
he'll blow up the Marine Express.
This is no lie!
It's about time for him to arrive!
What?!
Send me back where I came from!
Where you came from?
Very well!
Not where I came from!
That's the middle of the ocean!
I want to go to-
We found him! There he is!
Kill him!
Spare me!
Adam, it's too late.
Quickly, hurry to the cockpit.
Don't worry about me.
Adam!
Milly, you were badly hurt before.
You're a cyborg with most of your body replaced with machine parts.
But you're still human.
I'm really human?
Sure you are.
Hey, if you'd like, why not be my little sister?
I'd like that a lot!
I'm going back.
What will they do?
I'm sure Rock will stay here.
He's doing pretty well with the queen.
Seems like they love each other.
What about you, Doctor?
Me? I guess I can't just let them be.
There are so many injured people.
Heh, did you finally awaken
to the joys of charity?
I'll be demanding huge sums
of money, of course!
When I'm done, I'll head back.
What about my five million yen?
I'll collect it from you when I get back.
So long.
Send me to some island with a station.
Take care, Detective.
History tells us that the Mu Empire was eventually destroyed.
Hey, you still going to stay?
I'll turn that history upside down.
Anyway, when you get back, tell people that they shouldn't pollute the seas.
Do it to save the Earth, okay?
Yeah, I'll tell them.
Hey, what are you doing over there?
This is bad. Someone collapsed over there.
He's not one of the islanders.
I'm Ban Shunsaku, the old mustachioed man.
I'm Japanese!
I'm not a tourist.
I've come back from the Mu Empire.
The Mu Empire?
Don't you know? It's a country from ten thousand years ago!
So the Marine Express had an accident, right?
When it happened, the whole train was sent to the Mu Empire.
In other words, dimensional travel.
Don't you get it?!
The Marine Express?
There was an accident, and everyone died.
Did you alone survive and wash up here?
That's not it! I didn't wash up here.
I came from the Mu-
This is it!
I saw this thing in the Mu Empire!
No doubt about it!
These ruins can be found here and there around the island.
I think you lost consciousness
and hallucinated it.
After all, that Mu Empire you mentioned is just a legend, you know.
The Marine Express sank,
passengers and all,
ten thousand meters underwater
in the Japan Trench.
The project has been put on indefinite hiatus.
I'm sure that's it.
That trip to the Mu Empire was
just a ridiculous dream.
After the accident, I must
have gone a little crazy.
Everyone else died.
I should consider it fortuitous
that I even survived.
What's this? What's this?
