This is the future.
Place of action: space.
In the endless universe, where even light gets lost,
Travels a man in his spaceship Comet.
He is the greatest scientist and galaxy adventurer, Curtis Newton.
However, the people call him Captain Future.

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!
The prison ship Vulcan
was hi-jacked by a group of prisoners and their leader Kim.
However as they left the Milky Way,
they were pulled into gravitation of a mysterious planet.
Thanks to Captain Futures courageous dedication
they avoided a crash just in time.
However the Vulcan sank in a river of lava.
Because Captain Future understood,
that the planet would explode in two months,
he was determined, to build a spaceship and escape.
Most prisoners offered their help to him.
There, however, remained a small group of discontented men.
Moremos held a deep grudge against Captain Future.

No! I don't want to do that.
Forgive me! I can't!
Rollinger! Rollinger!
Captain, he is doing worse.
I cannot do anything for him.
Get yourself together, Rollinger. Why are you so afraid?
It is this planet. And the lord of this planet.
He invaded my brain
and is telling me, to do things, I cannot do.
So there is a creature here, that can only express itself through him?
I presume, that mentally ill people
are more receptive to telepathic waves.
Grag, did you notice, anyone entering here?
No. Wait a minute. The one, who just left,
his name, I believe, is Luuq.
Who left?
Kim.
Kim! Wake up.
Kim!
What is up now? It is late.
Where is your man called Luuq?
Hey, where is Luuq?
Grag saw him leaving.
Is anyone else missing?
Hey, Mui is not here too.
Perhaps they're sleepwalking and they're in the jungle.
Which idiot walks at night in the jungle?
Someone came and took them.
Future, you are up to something, right?
-What? -Kim,
he will finish us off if possible, one after the other.
Think! I need each and every one of you,
to build the spaceship.
We have to get away from this planet!
Or the lord of the planet will kill us all.
Rollinger.
And who is this lord of the planet exactly?
It is he, who lives in the dark.
He is powerful.
He loathes us Earthlings.
All participated in a search,
but the two missing persons remained nowhere to be found.
Without paying further attention to the mystery
the Futuremen continued their efforts, to build a spaceship.
Otho, Grag, poor the nickel in.
Ok.
We have produced steel, that we will form into hammers.
Captain, is that all, that we achieve on a working day?
This is the seed, from which the spaceship grows.
Because we start from zero, we have to master step by step
the technological development since the discovery of fire.
It is really difficult.
Curtis! Help!
-What an exciting pussycat. -Curtis!
-You! -Curtis!
Ok, Future, I will strangle you.
Yes, show him!
How do you like that?
What is happening here?
Future tried, to kill Moremos.
-Curtis. -Moremos.
Don't touch her anymore. Then you won't get more of that.
Remember, Future,
next time I will finish you off.
Here comes the next load.
Captain Future.
I would like to apologize for what happened this morning.
Forgive me.
So you're changing your attitude?
Yes. Because we will fly with the same ship and such.
My boss also promised, didn't he,
that everything would run smoothly.
Who would have thought, that he'd give up so fast?
He is only acting friendly,
until we have built the ship, with which he can escape.
Whatever the case, he has decided, to tolerate us.
It will become problematic, when we leave this planet.
The vulcanic activity increased day by day.
At the same time the earthquakes also increased in ferocity.
The prisoners could literally feel the imminent end.
The fear made them obedient.
Spurred by the Futuremen, they hurried, to complete the spaceship.
Not to doubt this plan, proved even for Captain Future
to be a big challenge.
First they made a hammer out of steel.
Other production techniques followed.
Gradually developed other tools and parts
made of different refined metals and alloys.
Then Captain Future started,
to make the Cyclotron.
This was the heart of the spaceships engine.
Joan, where are you going?
Joan, wake up.
Joan.
Curtis.
Something lured me outside.
Here, for you.
Thanks.
I'm okay now.
-Perhaps you were sleepwalking. -No, I wasn't.
I felt like hypnotized.
Hypnotized?
Just when I was dozing off,
I was seized by a mysterious, cold force.
The same kind of dream I had too.
You too, Kim?
Fortunately I woke up.
There are many others too, that had the same dream.
Eventhough I knew, that something terrible awaited me,
I could not fight it.
I have a possible explanation.
Rollingers lord of the planet
lures his victims with strong telepathic powers.
Then he is accountable for all the missing persons?
And not the Cubes?
I don't know,
but nobody was lured in waking state.
Apparently he comes to us in our sleep, when we are defenseless.
Therefore Rollinger is more receptive to him then we are.
Due to his mental state
he is defenseless against the telepathic messages of the lord of the planet
Precisely. We have to be very watchful now, and nobody may leave the camp.
Lets see, only Beryllium and Calcium are still missing.
It is a Cube.
What is he doing here?
That looks like lead. He seems to be here, to dig for lead.
In this tunnel there has been dug before.
That is lead.
Also Beryllium is readily available.
That looks like a writing.
From an old mine tunnel?
Apparently there once lived creatures with high intelligence on this planet.
The writing resembles that of Antares.
Are you capable, of deciphering it?
If I study it closely, perhaps.
Great. Thanks.
Careful. Don't come to close.
That is atomic fire. We have created it.
Well done, Captain.
It took us two weeks.
We managed, because we all worked together.
No, we managed because of your skills and outstanding knowledge.
Next now will be the ships hull.
First we still have to build a Cyclotron.
With eye on, what we want to do, we need two.
When we have finished that, we can use both as engines.
Curtis!
I have deciphered the inscription on the lead plate.
Tell me. Once there was an Antares-colony here, right?
That is right. And it seems a terrifying tragedy befell them and their planet.
Long ago the Antares- civilization colonized
this neighbouring planet.
The planet was rich in raw materials, and they began to mine.
Once a month
a supply ship came from Antares,
which flew back with ore.
One day, a dark star appeared.
Due to its enormous gravity
the planet was pulled away from its Sun and hurled into space.
Only two or three space crafts were present on the colony.
So only a few colonists could
leave the planet.
Even the Rescue-ships from the home world came to late.
Therefore several thousand Antarians were
for ever left behind on the planet.
Old generations passed away, and new ones lived on.
Then something terrible happened.
The planet left the star cluster, from which it originated.
On its stroll through the depths of universe
enormous amounts of cosmic radiation were emitted.
This had its effect
on all living organisms.
Terrible mutations occurred.
All living organisms went through
an accelerated development.
Through the continuous mutations
the Antarians increasingly lost
there human appearance.
The animal- and plantworld too went through an extreme evolution.
Many plants became meat eaters.
And many animals threatened the Antarians with hypnosis-attacks.
The Antarians understood, their end was drawing near,
and wrote down their history, in case anyone from their home world would come here.
I see. Now it's clear, why these peculiar organisms exist here.
I am wondering, what became of the Antarians, of which you spoke,
Professor Simon.
Undoubtedly they all perished.
Perhaps they were wiped out by the lord of this planet, of whom Rollinger is scared.
Isn't there written something about this "lord of the planet"?
There are a few scientific expressions, but I can barely decipher them.
I understand it. It are the Cubes.
Are you sure? The Cubes don't seem to show high intelligence.
Absolutely not.
They use thought waves, to communicate with each other.
When they collectively focus,
a powerful telepathic attack would be possible.
To prevent further casualties,
we must find out, where they live, and wipe them out.
Marshal Ezra,
we don't have time, to search for the lord of the planet.
We are already 22 days here and are behind schedule.
To defend ourselves,
we can only double our night guards.
I have a good idea.
We will set up an alarm system that will inform us immediately,
when something enters the camp.
Now we will get warned, when the lord of the planet lures someone.
And yet: As if to mock their alarm system,
this night disappeared Thuun, one of the criminals.
Was this cactus the killer?
Everyone was feeling scared
because of Thuuns silent disappearance.
Marshal Ezra, wait a minute!
Marshal Ezra!
Where are you going?
I think the Cubes are behind this "lord of the planet".
You should not be all alone out here.
I must put an end to him.
Marshal Ezra!
Oh, you have fallen into a trap.
Now you know, what happens, when you leave the camp alone.
Alright then, take me down.
Ouch! Ouch!
In everyone's interest I must find out, what the Cubes are.
Then I will go with you. My orders were, to keep you safe.
It are Cubes.
What are they doing there?
They are breaking stones and taking the ore.
Do you see, there it is piled up.
What is that for? That are a few hundred tonnes.
I see. That is the mysteries solution.
The lord of the planet, who attacks us telepathically,
has something to do with the digging for ore.
Lets take a closer look.
Is this ore perhaps...
Joan!
Marshal!
Did Marshal Ezra leave?
Yes.
Joan wanted to see how he was, and she also did not come back.
Were they lured by the lord of the planet?
No, as long as they don't sleep, that should not be the case.
Ezra probably wanted to learn more about the Cubes.
And Joan had no other option, but to go along.
The production has to wait. Lets go.
Captain Future. I know, the way to the Cubes.
I'm going too.
Hey, what is that?
That are Joan and Marshal Ezra.
Damn, I will go there and get them.
We should not fight with the Cubes.
I will talk to them.
Talk?
Captain!
What did he say?
It is the language of Antares. He said: we are from your home world.
Joan. Joan!
-Curtis. -You are safe.
Curtis. What happened?
The Cubes once were Antarians.
You don't mean to say, they were once human, right?
The Antarians, who colonized this planet,
changed into...
You don't have to believe it,
but one thing is clear: they are descendants of the Antarians.
On account of the mutations by the enormous radiation
the Antarians degenerated to their present form.
Their telepathic capabilities strongly developed itself further,
as compensation for their small bodies.
To survive, they developed this body and mind cooperation.
This ability made them survive,
although their intelligence, their body
and physical abilities degenerated.
Why did they collect all these stones for centuries?
-That are only memories. -Memories?
They lost their intelligence, true,
but their memories lived on.
Originally they were miners, looking for ore.
And so they have for centuries
mindlessly dug for ore?
They are at least conscious of that,
that we are digging for ore here.
Future! All raw materials, that we need, are here.
That is, except for Calcium.
How ironical.
Everything except the most important.
If they would give us a bit of the ore, it would help us enormously.
I am sure, they will agree.
It looks like, they want to bring it to us.
They think, we will fly to Antares with it.
What a pitiful creatures.
Thanks to the materials supplied by the Cubes
the pace of production speeded up considerably.
Soon the construction began of the ships hull.
Joan named the ship Phoenix.
The name symbolized a re-birth from the ashes.
Future, we could not find any Calcium.
Also the neighbouring elements Potassium and Scandium
are not available on this planet.
I only need a few hundred gram.
With just 50 gram I can start.
An earthquake!
Fasten the ship!
For the escape from the doomed planet
the dream of the spaceship in the form of a phoenix
had become true.
To be able to control the atomic reactions in the drive,
they however needed the element Calcium.
An element, that they could not find.
To be continued
Next episode: Stardust Spacemen
Thanks to Captain Futures tireless efforts
they could make the spaceship Phoenix.
But to make it start,
they needed the element Calcium.
The end of the planet however is drawing closer every second.
What will become of the Phoenix?
Next time on Captain Future: "Stardust Spacemen"
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
