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 Elixir of Life is a drug, that provides eternal youth.
To find the Syndicate and its leader, the Lord of Eternal Life,
the Futuremen went to Yos.
There, one of the suspects, Doctor Zin Zibo, was killed in their presence.
And they too got in danger.
Future started the counter-attack and went to the Mushroom Forest.
A little later, another suspect, Martin Graeme, asked them for help.
However, they only found Graemes body.
It turns out, that the murderer was Thomas Keene.
But is he also the Lord of Eternal Life?
- Episode 44 - "Danger! The Traffickers of Eternal Life" part 4 of 4 Decisive Battle in the Capital of Eternity
Who is the Lord of Eternal Life?
The Futuremen assemble in Police Headquarters,
to plan their approach.
Doctor Zibo and Graeme are dead.
Keene must be the Lord of Eternal Life.
That's right. Only that way it makes sense.
You will see soon.
It is time, to attack their base.
The Fountain, of which the Lord of Eternal Life spoke,
must be the Fountain of Life.
Most likely, yes.
Graeme must have learned the location from an old man in the city of Tobor.
I will fly there soon.
I will go with you.
No, everyone should, with the Comet, hide in the rings of this planet.
The Syndicate ship will surely come to the Fountain of Life.
I see. And we should follow them.
Marshal Ezra and Joan,
please keep the Police forces ready for action
and wait for our call.
No, take me with you.
Joan, please do as I say.
Marshal Ezra, I've noted down the formula for the antidote to the Elixir of Life.
Thanks.
I will ask the Governor, to mass produce it.
Please do that.
And please ask for a rocket-plane.
I can do that, Curtis.
That is the answer of the Liner-ship to Centaur.
Just as I expected.
It turns out very surprising.
Here is the rocket-plane.
Thanks.
I have to ask for a favor.
-A favor? -Yes.
Let's hide here.
From here, we can watch the Mistlands and the ship.
So that is Tobor.
Drink up!
Nothing more in it...
Are you Nik Iro?
Yes, and you are?
An adventurer.
I have heard, you know everything about the Mistlands.
Nobody here knows more than me.
That is great. Drink up.
By the way, did you talk recently to an Earthling named Martin Graeme?
How do you know?
Can you tell me, what you told him?
Of course I can.
Splendid.
He specially wanted to know about the man, who came from the Mistlands.
What?
I heard, that no one ever came back from there alive!
One did.
That is a long time ago.
I saw it with my own eyes.
It was about 50 years ago.
I was still young then...
Searching for missing animals I rode along the edge of the Mistlands.
There I saw a man coming out of the gorge leading away from the Mistlands.
Hey, what is it?
Hey!
The Qualus were after me.
Qualus? What is that?
Winged people.
They guard the entrance of the Fountain of Life.
The Fountain of Life?
In the Mistlands there is a Fountain of eternal youth.
Drinking from it, has made me young again.
The man had drunken from the Elixir of Life and was hunted by the Qualus.
I see. So the legend is true.
And what happened to the man?
He died a little later.
It was a terrible death.
The effect of the Elixir of Life is waning! The Elixir of Life...
The Elixir of Life.
Give me the Elixir!
And where is this gorge, from which the man came?
About 30 km east of here.
It stretches out from the Mistlands to the Fountain.
-Thanks, old man. -You're welcome.
Curtis! Look out!
Joan!
I asked Marshal Ezra for permission to follow you.
These two work for the Lord of Eternal Life.
I see.
Thanks.
Curtis, take me with you.
I have arranged two riding-animals.
I cannot say "no" to that.
Thank God!
-A ship! -Going in direction Mistlands.
Let's fly after him!
What a mist!
This land lives up to its name.
Don't worry, I see landing lights.
Aha. Watch out.
Land real close-by. The mist will hide us.
This hill is very suitable.
Hey, that must be the Fountain of Life.
That must be it.
That is more of a waterfall than a Fountain.
Perhaps there is a separate Fountain?
Let's take a look.
Damn!
Stop it, or I will kill him.
You have stepped in our trap! That is not the Fountain of Life.
We saw your onboard radar and lured you here.
I can understand, why this area is being shunned.
We would never find each other again, if we would be separated here.
Are there birds here?
Strange, it sounds as if some are following us.
-Curtis! -Joan!
Curtis!
Joan, do not fight back. Stay calm.
-Joan! -I am well.
I am Yuru, King of the Qualus.
You are driven here by desire, to drink from the Fountain of Life.
No!
We came here, to put an end to the galactic trade of the Elixir of Life.
Don't lie!
We, the Qualus, are bound to our duty, to guard the Fountain of Life.
King Yuru, the water of this Fountain is robbing many people of their life.
We want to catch the Lord of Eternal Life, who is responsible for that!
What? The Lord of Eternal Life?
With just two?
Don't talk nonsense!
It is no lie.
Not even we succeeded, to stop the Lord of Eternal Life!
We will make it!
King Yuru...
If you care for peace, please understand.
To protect peace, one often has to battle for life or death.
It's true, we are only a few.
But we have already defeated many enemies in the past.
Please believe us!
Can you conquer the Lord of Eternal Life?
And drive away the wingless people from the holy Fountain?
Yes, I can do that.
Alright. I believe you.
That is the City of Eternal Youth, and that is the holy Fountain.
Just look, what has become of it.
Curtis, there!
Our ancestors told us, we should not drink from the Fountain.
If one drinks from the Fountain, one indeed can live forever,
however the soul is destroyed.
It is exactly so.
Living a finite life intensely, the meaning lies in this.
Those who cannot die, do not try anymore and turn to evil.
And others cannot bear life anymore.
How dreadful.
We have guarded the holy Fountain, to prevent this.
However 50 years ago, a man came.
The misfortune began, as he drank from the Fountain.
I heard about this young man.
That is how the rumours about the Fountain started circulating.
Since then, countless people without wings appeared.
Unarmed, as we were, we had to retire to the caves.
And the people built the City of Eternal Youth.
And then appeared the Lord of Eternal Life?
Yes, he came with his men.
He conquered the city and began, to sell the water.
He is a very evil man!
King Yuru, are there shimmering metals at the bottom of the Fountain?
Yes! How do you know?
It are radioactive substances.
They render the water its effect.
I see.
But what does that mean?
If we destroy these minerals,
the Fountain should lose its rejuvenating power.
Can you do that then?
Yes.
But it will also destroy the Fountain.
That is alright.
If the criminals can be stopped, we will gladly help.
I will have to build an apparatus that has a destructive effect.
I need a small atom generator.
We do not use machines like that.
I understand.
Perhaps there is one in the City of Eternal Youth.
Right, Joan. In the City there is a power plant.
At least a small generator surely is available.
And meanwhile we can investigate.
That should be more than enough.
I will leave the investigations to you.
After that I will return to the caves. Let's go.
How terrible.
People, whose souls are dead.
The Lord of Eternal Life!
You have to tell us now,
what Future knows about me.
Just keep asking, you will learn nothing from me.
Ask him yourself.
If you do not tell me, I will kill you!
We will not fall for this bluff.
Bluff?
With my profits from the Elixir sales
I will become ruler of the universe!
I can do anything.
Anything.
Then let us see, what you can do.
I will show you.
I know, that Future is on his way from Tobor to here.
I will use you as bait, to catch him.
I won't allow that.
I will have you executed.
If I put you on display, he will come.
-What? Damn! -Now wait!
The execution takes place tomorrow at dawn.
Until then you can still wail!
What? otho and the others?
The execution takes place tomorrow at dawn! We must save them!
But the enemy is numerous.
If we free them, we won't get out of the gorge.
If the Qualus help us...
No. We cannot involve them in that.
We destroy the Fountain and save everyone in the chaos that follows.
But there are only our four hours left!
So let's build the apparatus!
The Proton-destructor.
It emits a Proton-current, that dissolves matter.
It is almost morning now.
Damn. I am glad, that Eek and Oog are not here.
I'm sorry. Let's have faith in the boy. As Futuremen we should do that.
Go to the Fountain and report to me, when something happens.
Yes, Sir!
You have to hurry, it is morning.
I'm almost ready.
The guillotine is already waiting.
That should work.
We have to do without a test.
King Yuru, please have this brought to the Fountain.
We all want to fight.
I appreciate that.
Quick, your friends are brought to the execution site!
What? Then we should go now!
Test it, Thorkul!
Yes, Lord.
Good. Let's start with the android.
Damn!
Otho!
There is still a lot, that I have to do!
And go!
Yes.
Captain!
Boy!
Professor Simon, please take Joan to the Fountain.
There, everything will become clear to you.
Will do.
That should work.
Now we only have to sink the emitter to the bottom.
Simon, the emitter!
Keene!
The Fountain remains undamaged!
Give up, Lord of Eternal Life!
Cursed!
Joan, quick, turn the switch!
Yes!
It is Doctor Zin Zibo.
But isn't Doctor Zibo dead?
Both Zibo and Graeme died in the same way,
but the bodies were in different condition.
Graemes blood vessels had burst.
But even though Centaurans have thinner blood vessels than Earthlings,
Zibos had not burst.
I already suspected, that his "death" was the effect of another drug.
We contacted the ship with Zibo's body,
and behold, the coffin was empty.
And Graeme's murder by Keene?
He probably met the Lord while searching for the Fountain.
He must have promised him the Elixir of Life for killing Graeme.
In the future, the Fountain can no longer provide youth.
King Yuru, please open your Kingdom to others from now on.
Of course. What you have done, will be remembered forever.
Next episode: Hero of a Revived Legend
Over the Dimension-jump-system, developed by Professor Tiko Thrin,
people from the planet Tarast call another dimension for help.
They ask Captain Future, to act as their legendary hero Kafuru,
to protect their homeworld.
Which enemy is Future up against?
Next on Captain Future: "Hero of a Revived Legend"
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
