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 Comet was stolen by traitors, who are after the secret of
artificial evolution on the planet Aar in the Deneb-system.
They have kidnapped Joan and Ken.
Captain Future pursued them with the modified Lightning.
But the ship got into a turbulent space current,
which caused damage to the Lightning.
The Futuremen find themselves in a terrible emergency situation.
- Episode 50 - "The Secret of Artificial Evolution" part 2 of 4 The Mystery of the Beastmen
The ship will be torn apart, if we continue to use the Oscillation-drive.
We lack material for hull reinforcement.
This is the end for this ship.
There, a spaceship.
It looks like a wreck, that's been floating here forever.
That's it! We could use material of this ship,
to reinforce the failing parts.
Good idea.
I go out and secure myself with a rope.
A spacewalk is dangerous here.
If we let this opportunity pass by, we will never escape from here.
-Prepare yourself quickly! -Yes, Captain.
At the same time, Joan and Ken tried
to sabotage the engine,
so the Comet would not get to Aar.
For this, they short-circuited two cables, but it was a difficult matter.
Will the Captain come?
Yes. We can count on him.
Oops...
Repairs completed. Let's go.
First and second engine activated. Ready to use!
According to the indicators the Oscillation-drive is ready to use.
Ok. Increase thrust to 60%.
Understood. Thrust to 60%.
Let's go!
How do we intend to find them, when we are on Aar?
Following Joan's directions, they will
seek the Chamber of Life with the secret of artificial evolution.
I see. That is the location, that was on the stone tablet, right?
Yes, precisely.
"Beyond the Black Northsea,
"under Prism Peak in the Crystal Mountains,
"lies the Chamber of Life, in which new types of humans formed.
"Keep away from it.
"The cave is guarded by immortals.
"It contains the seed of destruction."
It is completely clear, that the Chamber of Life lies under Prism Peak.
I see...
I am worried about Joan and Ken.
Really very heavy.
What were you thinking!
-Stop it! -Shut up!
-Tie them up, Voorries! -Ok.
According to my calculation, we reach Aar in one and a half hours.
Will the ship last that long?
Look. Over there seems to be a big city.
Land there.
This city stems from the hey-day of high culture of ancient Deneb.
Is the Chamber of Life nearby, Joan?
I will not say that.
Such a stubborn girl!
What's this then?
A trap. Before our landing they hid themselves.
No fear! These are only barbarians.
They ran away scared, when our ship landed.
There, others are approaching!
What kind of monster is this?
It is a beastman.
Perhaps we will learn from them, where the Chamber of Life is.
I will negotiate with them.
But...
Leave it to me. I know a lot about barbarians.
How peculiar: A horse with a human head.
In any case, their faces look friendlier than Norton's.
Even as beastmen...
Hey, it went well.
Their tribe calls itself "Manlings".
The one, with whom I spoke, is chief Osorkon.
Manlings?
They welcome us with a feast.
Can we trust them?
They are afraid of us. Come on!
-Take the girl and the boy with you. -Ok.
Move, you toddler!
Just wait. As soon as Captain Future is here,
he will easily deal with you.
Captain Future cannot come here.
Yes he can!
We are entering the atmosphere.
Do the brake engines function?
Only for a few seconds, so the landing will be rough.
I already expected that.
Therefore I took along protective helmets from the shipwreck.
First-class thinking.
Where is mine, Otho?
No helmet fits on a bucket.
Jungle, as far as the eye can see, but somewhere there must be a city.
Ah, I see something in the northwest.
Now we made it to Aar, after all.
-Are you alright? -I am a little dizzy...
Without the helmet I would have a skull fracture.
Let's start the search for Joan and Ken.
And take along the Proton-guns, in case we encounter Norton.
I thought, there would be more traces of an ancient civilization here.
I did not expect to find such a primitive world.
Hai-ooo!
-What sort of voice is this? Hai-ooo!
It does not sound like animal noises.
But also not like a human.
Hai-ooo!
Now what sort of voice is this?
Such a strange planet.
In any case we have to get out of this jungle.
Before the landing you saw something in the northwest, Simon, am I right?
It looked like a city.
On the other side of the forest a tower seemed to rise.
Or it was just a giant tree.
I only saw it for a moment.
We will definitely check.
-It's a horse. -It has a human face.
It's a beastman.
We are surrounded by something, Captain.
What?
Wait. They should understand, that we do not want to fight.
-But... -Do not worry.
-Captain. -Do not come closer!
Wait. We are not your enemy.
Listen. We are searching a spaceship,
stolen by villains.
You cannot fool me.
You are spies of the Manlings.
-Manlings? -Do not pretend innocence.
Captain!
Otho!
I said, do not shoot.
Shih, stop right away!
Do not stop me, Golo!
They are not friends of the Manlings.
Where do you get that information?
They came with a ship, that flew in the sky.
They are not spies of the Manlings.
I do not believe that, even if Golo does.
I will kill each one of you,
if you go deeper into the forest.
Thank you. I am Captain Future.
I am Golo, King of the Hoofed Ones.
Apparently there are many tribes here.
Yes. Apart from the Tigre-men
many other tribes live in this forest.
Really?
You are the Ancients, that came from beyond the darkness, yes?
The Ancients?
In your ship, that flies in the sky,
I saw the headgear of the Ancients, same as in the legend.
He means the helmets.
I see.
With "the Ancients" the Denebans are meant.
Like this one here?
Yes, precisely. According to legend
the Ancients, who with their ship
come through the sea of stars, will give back
our original human form.
So you originally were human.
Yes. How it exactly happened, I do not know.
In the old days our human ancestors were,
by evil men,
transformed into beastmen with the bodies
of pitiful wild animals,
eventhough they possessed human brain and heart.
That is more than 300 generations back.
Through artificial evolution they have become like this.
I suppose so. By the way, Golo,
you mentioned Manlings. What are these supposed to be?
Manlings are the descendants of the evil men,
who created beastmen like us.
They are cruel barbarians, who live in the ruins of the city of Raboon.
The city of Raboon?
It is located in the northeast, several hours from here.
That is the city, that I saw just before landing.
Hey, coward Winters!
What did you say?
If one does not call you by title, you become annoyed immediately.
Do not behave arrogantly. From now on you are useless.
-What did you say? -Shut up!
With help of Chief Osorkon I will learn the secret of artificial evolution.
Serves you right.
That makes sense.
Shih!
Be careful.
Captain!
You will not escape me!
-Are you hurt? -It is only a scratch.
Strange fellow. Did not even say thanks.
Please forgive him.
Shih is thankful in his heart.
They have left.
What do they want to capture you for?
They work us to our bones on their courts and often they kill us just for fun.
What a cruel fate!
All members of Shih's family
were killed by the Manlings.
Killed...
Hai-ooo!
Shih's voice!
Hai-ooo!
Hai-ooo! Hai-ooo!
Shih...
All tribes will assemble here soon.
Perhaps one of them
saw the flying ship, that you're looking for.
So you believe us.
I am sorry, that I distrusted you.
My tribal brothers!
Finally, the time arrives
that the dream is fulfilled, that we have since the days
of the Ancients.
These people belong to the family of Ancients.
Captain Future and his friends.
They came to Aar.
Captain Future says, our dream, to become human again,
is fulfilled, if we all
work with them.
To all tribes!
I know, the secret of artificial evolution,
that made you into beastmen,
is hidden in the Chamber of Life.
There it was left behind by the Ancients in their time.
Some evil men are after it.
To prevent this,
we need your help.
If we defeat their plan
and get to the secret,
your dream should be fulfilled.
-Can we really become human again? -For real?
Yes, you can.
Can you really do that?
I believe so.
The secret of artificial evolution
is a technique, that alters the genetic pattern
of both sexes and creates new genes.
So, according to this theory I will change the genetic pattern
of halfmen in the reverse manner.
I think, they can get human children.
Listen up everyone!
My brothers!
Will you work together with the Futuremen
-and treat them as brothers? -I will.
-Me too! -Me too!
-I will help you. -Me too!
Thanks! We will give it our best,
so that you will become human again.
Skeen, did one of you see the flying ship
as it landed on Aar?
I do not know, if it can fly or not.
Yesterday evening on Raboon-Square someone discovered
a shimmering, round metal body,
unlike anything seen before.
It could be the Comet.
We will check.
The city of Raboon is dangerous.
Our captured friends could be there.
We will show you a shortcut to there.
-I go with you. -Me too.
I go too.
No!
Do not be so serious.
Joan, this is the opportunity, to flee from here and to get to the Comet...
Damn!
Joan, Norton said in his rage, he would kill the boy,
if you do not tell us the location of the secret.
-Ken? -The guy is capable of anything.
So from the Manlings you could
not learn anything about the secret.
The Manlings are only barbarians.
Please think again, Dr. Winters.
-But... -Now would be the opportunity.
Take us out of here.
Escape with us in the Comet.
That is impossible. Voories is standing guard outside.
Behind this ridge lies Raboon.
Ok. Wait here. I will explore the terrain.
Otho, come with me.
I will accompany you.
Look there. It is the Comet.
-Are there many Manlings there? -Yes.
Captain Future, your friends
should be in the Chief's tower.
If we do not rescue them quickly,
the Manlings will kill them.
Ok. We go now.
And so Future makes his way
into the ghost town, where the cruel Manlings reside,
to save Joan and Ken.
To be continued
Next episode: Showdown in the Ghost Town
In the ghost town Raboon Future goes all out
and takes up against the traitor Norton and the tribe of the Manlings.
One critical situation follows the next.
Can the captured Joan endure the torture?
It comes to a battle for life or death over the secret of artificial evolution.
Next time on Captain Future: "Showdown in the Ghost Town"
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
