CAPTAIN FUTURE
RAW: AST4U Blu-ray rip Re-encode: Peter Translation & Edit: Peter Styling: Kai & Peter
When I was just a little child
I flew about here and there
And lay me down in the grass
To spread the wings of my soul
Wherever I'd like to go, I could go there for sure!
In the time, when I loved you
Learned the wings, which I'd forgotten
Again, in the sky of dreams
How they could fly!
Wherever you look, there's always universe
Wherever you look, there's always future
Wherever you go, there is universe
Wherever you go, there is FUTURE!
- Episode 29 - "Revolt on the Prison Spaceship" part 1 of 4 The Prison Ship is Hi-Jacked!
Based on the book "The Face of the Deep"
Here at New York Space Port, the only one on Earth,
depart the spaceships to the different stars.
Also right now, there are business people, travel groups,
lovers on their honeymoon and school children on field trips,
who are looking forward to their journey to faraway worlds.
But, there is also one group, that isn't looking forward to departure.
Namely the dangerous criminals, who on the prison ship Vulcan
will be taken to the Interplanetary Prison.
Entrusted with the transport are
Joan Randall and Marshal Ezra Gurney of the Planetary Police.
Captain! We wanna go there too.
-Joan! -Oh, Captain!
Please wait, Joan. Is it true, that you escort the prison ship Vulcan?
It says so here. The Planetary Police has personnel shortage now. That's why I do it.
You cannot do that. That is a hell ship full of brutal dangerous criminals.
Standing watch for weeks until arrival, is no job for a young woman.
I am already four years with the Planetary Police.
Thanks, for worrying about me, but I can manage.
On the previous transports never anything bad has happened.
-Joan. -Hm?
I have browsed through the prisoners list. This man is Kim Ivan.
He is the leader of space pirates, that terrorize the galaxy.
It took four years, before they could arrest him.
The next one is the infamous bounty hitman Moremos.
For this criminal, murder is a trivial offense.
The conman Boraboll. He has killed countless people.
John Rollinger, a biologist, who killed many students in experiments.
-That is many weeks with murderous men... -Ah, Captain!
-You surely wanted to say good-bye. -No, I wanted, Joan to not fly along.
You can't be serious. The Police is much obliged with her voluntary application.
Say good-bye to her.
But isn't Joan...
-Time for departure. -But... Joan!
-We have to talk it over first! -We will talk after my return.
See you, Curtis.
But... Joan...
Welcome, Captain Future!
I will immediately inform the captain about the arrival of you all.
What does that "of you all" mean?
Didn't you say, you would wait on the Moon-base?
It doesn't matter what you say, it is too late for that.
We are coming along, whether you like it or not.
There is nothing more reassuring, than knowing you are on this ship.
I am the captain, Theron. Welcome, Captain Future.
-A hearty welcome to all of you. -Pleasure to meet you, captain.
-The reason why I came on board... -Captain?
Why are you following me constantly? Do you think, I need a babysitter?
Joan, you can protest all you want, Earth already lies far behind us.
To be honest, on Earth a strong rumour is circulating.
-It is worrying me. -A strong rumour?
It is said, there will be a revolt on the prison ship.
A revolt? True, this time many dangerous criminals are present. Lets be vigilant.
Show me the prisoners cells.
I'd better show you the whole ship right away.
This ship used to be going as Liner-ship to Alpha Centauri
Because they changed to new models there, it was rebuild into a prison ship.
This upper deck is the Bridge.
Then there is the Control Room, the Switch Control and the Officers Quarters.
On the third deck is the Machine Room.
The prisoner cells are located on the second deck.
This gate made from a chrome alloy is impossible for them to break open.
-Besides, it is guarded. Open the door. -Yes Sir!
Also the doors of the separate cells can only be opened here from the outside.
Let us go inside please.
That is Captain Future!
-Because of you we are in this hell. Revenge! -They seem to hate you, Captain Future.
Be quiet, you scum of the universe!
Can't you hear, you scumbags?
I, the great Kim Ivan, command you.
Kim Ivan, only the space pirates' leader can do that.
Captain Future, thanks for capturing me and my men back then.
And many thanks for your effort, to bring us safely to our destination.
All! All people on this ship will die.
I promise it, all will die.
I promise it,
All people on this ship will die! All!
The Vulcan made its way with the many dangerous criminals
to the Interplanetary Prison on Cerberus, 61st Star System in the Swan Constellation.
Even if there already passed ten days, the prisoners are somehow too quiet.
Is that not because of your extraordinary reputation?
Even if that was so, these villains have seen worse situations.
So that means, they are up to something.
is your concern not a bit overanxious? How would they escape then from their cells?
-And when they smuggled tools inside? -Impossible. They would need laser guns,
but at entering of the ship all prisoners were searched thoroughly.
-And the inside of the cells? -That is not necessary.
The Vulcan is constantly heavily guarded by the Police and no one may approach it.
Even if something happens and goes out of control, from the Bridge out we can
let the air escape from the Machine Room and all prison cells.
Within two minutes all would be dead then.
I see. But when they are really planning something,
I would like to see for myself the inside of the cells.
Okay then. If you want.
Are you satisfied now, Captain?
Now we can all sleep peacefully. Good night.
-Captain. -What is it, Joan? Can't sleep?
Joan, look at that.
-That is a Liner-ship. -The two-weekly Sirius-Earth-Line.
A true luxury cruiser.
I would love to fly once on such a ship.
A hall with chandeliers, heavenly music and also a dance.
Is everything alright, Joan...?
I am afraid. What, if it really is a hell ship, like you said?
What, if there really is a revolt?
-That would be a nightmare. -All is ok. In five days we'll reach our destination.
Well then... good night.
Thanks, Curtis.
Good night.
-Damn! Joan! -Captain, what happened?
They have apparently broken out.
But how could they break out of the heavily guarded cells?
Lets take a look at things, that happened an hour before.
In three days we will arrive at Proxima.
Hey, Kim! When will you finally free us?
You have promised, to free us, when we would stay quiet.
Did you trick us, to collect bonus points from the cops?
-To play boss like that! -Here you have nothing to say anymore.
Don't make such a row, you idiots. Or do you want to alert the cops?
I will take you out of here in any case.
When?
Now.
Hey, Kim, how can we do that without tools?
Just you watch.
What is that going to be?
He must have lost his mind. He has prison madness.
Now we have another one like Rollinger.
All on this ship will die.
Bring me salt.
Salt!
In with it.
-It worked. -Boss, what is that?
That is a wonder acid. It will melt every metal like wax.
Wonder acid?
Before departure, a pal of me washed the prison clothes with it.
If one dissolves it with cooking salt in water, it becomes wonder acid. Look.
Now we will break out.
-Us too! Quick! -Let us out!
Don't make so much noise. I will let you out soon now.
One meter, two meter, three meter.
The switching circuit of the controls for the electronic locks runs here.
You even know this, Kim?
A pal of me worked on this ship once.
When it still was the Liner-ship to Alpha Centauri.
-Everything quiet? -Yes. In 20 minutes change of the guards.
-Only pirate Kim Ivan can do that. -The ship is ours! Open up the door!
Wait and listen. To overtake the ship, you have to do, as I say.
He who doesn't want to obey my orders, can report himself now.
Only the crazy Rollinger wants to stay behind. Kim, we leave everything to you.
-All on this ship will die. -Well then.
An emergency ladder to the upper decks from the time as Liner-ship.
-You're a genius! -That will make history.
First we will get the navigators and pilots on the Bridge and in the Control Room.
As soon as we have weapons, we will surprise the others in their sleep.
But nobody should be killed.
We cannot kill Future? Is that a joke? He killed many of my people.
You idiot! Don't you understand, that he is the most precious hostage of all?
We have to take all of them hostage, in case the Planetary Police follows us. Got that?
Don't move!
I've still got it.
You idiot! Didn't I say, don't kill anyone!
We will now deal with the Futuremen.
Moremos has shot the captain! Now he is after the Futuremen!
What? That idiot!
Back, Joan!
Murder him!
Joan, are you hurt?
Curtis, I...
Captain!
Captain, the prisoners!
A revolt. They have tricked us.
Captain Future.
Here is Kim Ivan. We have taken over the Bridge.
Also the Control Room and the Switch Room. Don't do foolish things and simply surrender.
-Damn! But... -Calm yourself, Ezra!
They surely already got the guns from the Gun Room.
If we stay here, we are next. Lets barricade the Machine Room.
When we have the Cyclotron in our hands, they cannot do much.
Well then. Lets make a plan in the Machine Room.
-Are you alright, Miss Randall? -Thanks, everything okay.
But I have made a big mistake.
All is OK, they won't enter. They know, that we will blow up the Cyclotron in emergencies.
Are there space-suits here?
There aren't any. They're not needed here.
-That could change soon. -What?
That is a valve of the air drain, that is controlled from the Bridge.
I had completely forgotten that.
That was the counter measure for a revolt. Do they know this?
Absolutely. Judging from how it went here, Kim Ivan knows everything about this ship.
We will sabotage the valve, so that it won't open.
That won't work. The switching circuit for the valve is inside the wall.
Okay, then we will just shut the air drain by welding. Quick,
an atom-driven blow torch and an iron plate.
Captain Future, here is Kim Ivan. We have occupied everything except the Machine room.
Give up and throw all guns through the door. If not, I will open the air drain.
Damned villain! He already knows about it!
What are you going to do, Future? You have two minutes to decide.
Here is Captain Future.
Kim, do you guarantee, to let us live, when we surrender ourselves?
I do. If I'd wanted to kill you, I simply would have opened the valve.
Ezra.
We don't have a choice, right?
They apparently want to take us hostage.
Understood. We will all surrender.
There was no other way out. As long as we're alive, we have a chance.
Captain Future, you are now my prisoners.
We understand. Where is the captain and the rest of the crew?
All dead, except from the four in Control Room.
I had forbidden to kill,
but they had their fingers too easy on the trigger.
Now you have brought it on yourself.
When this ship does not arrive at Cerberus in two days,
the whole Planetary Police will be after you.
To take us hostage, will not help. They will surely blow up the ship.
I am aware of that.
No matter, where we hide in the galaxy, they will be after us.
Therefore my plan is, to leave this galaxy.
What? Where do you wanna go then?
To the galaxy of our freedom: The Great Magellan Cloud.
-The Great Magellan Cloud? -Precisely.
A year ago, an expedition arrived at the 87th planet of the Ypsilon-system
and also safely came back.
There it was similar to Earth.
But the natives live primitive.
When we go there, the planet is ours.
You want to go there with this ship? It are 180,000 light-years to the Great Magellan Cloud!
For us, it are not 180,000 light-years. Isn't that an emergency Oscillation-drive?
Hey boys, our rulership has begun!
Lock them up in the cells.
The prisoners revolt was succesful
and the Vulcan fell into the hands of dangerous criminals.
The plan of the prisoners was, to fly far away from the Milky Way
to the Great Magellan Cloud.
There, however, awaits them an unimaginable danger.
To be continued
Next episode: Great Escape From the Milky Way
The Vulcan, hi-jacked by the criminals, is shipwrecked
on a suddenly appearing, mysterious asteroid
with strange creatures and countless earthquakes.
Besides the asteroid will soon cross the Roche-border and therefore
is shortly before its destined end.
Next time on Captain Future:
"Great Escape From the Milky Way"
If you ever, somehow, one day or another,
Should go to this city
Please visit the little house
You can find it in Poplar Street
When there, by chance
Still lives a girl
With a really gentle face
Then, please, could you tell her
That I'm doing very well
This girl, too, that laughs a lot
And whose cotton clothes dance in the wind
Will be grown-up by now, and have fallen in love
And will have forgotten about me
To Poplar Street,
Forever and always, in my dreams I will return
Although time goes by, right there lies
The homeland of my soul, in days gone by
