Moomin (1990) s01e12 Episode Script

Moomin
Even you, who always
tries to keep strong, -
will have moments when
you need to shed tears.
In those moments, just
cry your heart out, -
and then you will find that the
sadness quickly disappears.
Come, come here to where I am.
Come and hold out your
little hand to me.
I shall take you to
the world of dreams.
As long as you have an
honest heart, all is well.
Moomin Fights a Pirate
Under his command, Captain
Blood and his pirate crew -
have been fighting against
the storm for a while now.
The captain knew that their ship
won't last for much longer.
They can't possibly reach
land in this storm.
"I'm a man of the sea, thus I
am at peace with dying at sea."
"I'm sure my crew feels the same way."
"However, the princess doesn't."
"The lovely princess whom we carried
off along with our treasures"
"We cannot let her die
here, not at sea."
The captain felt his
heart ache as he thought -
of the princess in the
lower deck cabin.
Is that book fun?
Yes, very much.
The storm doesn't show
any signs of letting up.
Yes
I'm glad I'm here.
If I stayed home alone in this storm,
I would've been very frightened.
What was that sound?
It was probably a tree branch breaking.
Moomin.
Would you read that book aloud for us?
I'm not good at reading aloud though.
That's not true.
Please? If you read it
aloud, then I won't -
notice the scary storm
sounds outside.
Yes. I would like to listen to it too.
Do you mind if I don't
read from the start?
Well, that's fine.
But could you summarize for
us what happened before that?
To put it shortly
There's this gallant pirate
named Captain Blood.
One day, they pilfered the
royal family's ship and -
took along the princess
who happened to be on it.
It sounds like a story from long ago.
Why?
"They recovered quickly and steadily
pressed on through the raging storm."
Hm, great work, if I may say so myself.
I suppose I'll stop here for today.
Captain Blood noticed that
the princess had collapsed.
"I must have caused such
terrible feelings for the -
princess, all alone at the
bottom of this ship."
As he thought this, the captain felt
a stabbing pain through his heart.
"I cannot let the princess
die, no matter what!"
"I need to save her!"
Mama, do we have coffee?
Shall I serve you some in your study?
No need, I'm done working for the day.
Oh, is that so? Why don't
we all take a break then?
I've also gotten thirsty.
Thank you for reading to us.
Your reading was fabulous.
I'd love some juice.
I'd also love some raspberry juice.
Floren, did Snork say
when he's coming back?
He didn't give an exact day. It might
be tomorrow or the day after that.
It's good that we decided for you to
stay over here while Snork was away.
Yes. We couldn't leave Floren
all alone in a storm like this.
Absolutely not.
Has it sunk?
With these waves, it will soon.
We need to rescue the crew.
It's too dangerous with these waves.
I wonder if they're alright.
No one has reached this
part of the shore.
Could they have swum towards
another shore then, I wonder?
I believe no one has
seen any such survivors.
That was one raging storm last night.
Chief.
Yes?
From what I've seen, I believe
that ship is a pirate ship.
A pirate ship?
I've been watching that ship from
when only a third of it has sunk.
It had a pirate flag up on its mast.
Are you sure about that?
Yes, I am.
Can you really see the flag
from that far away, though?
I can't see it at all.
I used this.
Oh. Well, if you had such useful
thing, say so from the start.
It's going to sink! It's
finally going to sink!
It has completely sunk.
If they have been
pirating for a long time -
now, their ship was
probably old as well.
Then there's nothing strange
about it going down.
Well, in the end though,
we still weren't -
sure whether it was a
pirate ship or not.
Nothing got washed ashore, then?
As far as I know, that's the case.
I got surprised.
I was reading a pirate
book just last night.
I've seen real pirates before.
So pirates still do exist. I'm jealous.
Oh?
I think I want to become a pirate too.
Really?
Really!
Sailing the seas around
world and living freely!
It's awesome!
Pirates go around stealing
other people's things, though.
Well, there's that.
It'd be nice if pirates, and even
bandits, didn't have to steal anything.
Then they won't be pirates anymore,
they'll just be regular sailors.
Do you know where Moomin went?
I don't.
I'm sure he's with Snufkin.
I suppose so.
Floren, I have a letter for you.
Let's see It's from Snork.
Thank you.
My, can you wait just a moment? I'm
just going to read my brother's letter.
Sure.
Oh dear.
What is it?
It seems my brother
is coming home today.
Today?
He says it's just an estimate though,
so the day still might change.
It would be nice if he
makes it for supper.
You can have supper here tonight.
Snork as well.
Thank you, Mamma.
Since he said he's coming
home today, I believe he was
already able to purchase the
materials and parts he needed.
He'll be starting on his
airship by tomorrow then.
I believe he will.
Hey, hey. If we became
air pirates with Snork's -
airship, it'd be really
fun, don't you think?
We'll never get caught!
They're not here.
I wonder where they went
Not here either.
They probably went to a
more interesting place.
An empty workplace would
be nothing but boring.
I'm glad we came by though.
It looks like it's fine
despite last night's storm.
What is it?
Didn't you hear something just now?
Where?
From inside.
Is there someone
Oh! Snork must have returned, then!
Oh, I see. You're right.
Brother, are you here?
Brother? Where are you?
Floren?
Who are you?
Oh. So it really was a pirate ship.
Yes. We've also caught the pirates
who washed ashore from their ship.
You've caught all of them?
Well, we don't know how many
of them were on the ship.
Then there might be
some of them left -
uncaught and wandering
around Moominvalley.
Oh, then if I deal with
them right, I might be able -
to obtain some rare plants
and seeds from them.
You little squirt! Hold it right there!
Not again! Damn it! Why you!
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ouch!
Let go! Stop that!
Ow, ow, ouch!
Let Floren go this instant!
You'll be suffering more
of my teeth if you don't!
This young lady here is
my precious hostage.
I'm not letting her
go that easily.
Oh? Then you better be prepared.
Prepared?
Hold it!
If you value this girl's
life, don't come any closer.
Are you going to kill Floren?
If I kill her, she won't be a very
useful hostage, now would she?
But she might suffer dearly
depending on your actions.
If you want a hostage,
I can take her place.
Just let Floren go!
Not happening. I don't
think anyone would -
come for you if I
took you hostage.
Are you saying I have
no value as a hostage?!
Never mind what I said.
I want you to do something for me.
What's your name?
I'm My.
I'm Captain Bad.
Go call the police and the village
chief and bring them here.
Go and do a troubled man
a favor, will you, My?
If you promise absolutely not to hurt
Floren, I guess I can do that for you.
I promise.
If you're even the slightest
bit violent towards -
Floren while I'm gone,
you'll pay for it.
I get the picture already, so just go.
I have only one request!
Come out and let that girl go!
Like hell I would!
One basic pirate need is a nice,
young, lovely hostage, you know.
If you want to save this
girl, go and ready a ship!
After that, you need to let
me go back to the ocean.
Nonsense. Now, listen here!
All of your crew members
are now our prisoners.
What?!
You're the only one left.
This is the end for you!
That's good news. You
have my thanks, Chief.
No need to thank me. Now
hurry up and come out.
Sure, I'll come out.
In exchange, release all of my crew!
All of them, you hear?
Also, prepare a big ship for us.
And then we shall all sail away!
Darn it!
It looks like our boss may have
cheered that crook up quite a bit.
Chief, I'm begging you!
Please save Floren soon!
I understand, I do!
However, I can't just give in
to his demands this easily.
But Floren didn't do
anything to deserve this!
I know that, you don't need to tell me!
Ah. This is a disaster.
Hey! Captain Bad! Can you hear me?
Go prepare my ship!
And free my crew! Make sure there's
not one left in your cells!
I'm currently considering your demands!
For now, just release Floren!
We can discuss your demands
more thoroughly after that!
Enough talking!
If you don't do as I say, I cannot
guarantee this girl's life!
Calm down and listen!
There's no way we'd have a large ship
around here, don't you think so?
Think about it!
That's your problem!
I'll give you a deadline!
Let's see
If you don't complete my demands within
two hours, this girl's life shall be -
Oh, I'm not really serious about that.
But if I don't say that, they
won't take me seriously.
- This girl's life shall be naught!
I'm just bluffing, alright?
Alright, I'll believe you.
Get me that ship within two hours, -
or else I'll cut this
young lady's throat!
Just imagine her drowning
in the sea of death!
I'm lying, alright?
We need to do something!
Two hours It's impossible to
get him that ship in two hours
What should I do?
Calm down. Calm down.
Think about it calmly.
Ah! Damn it!
Chief, we have an idea.
We can climb to the roof, cut out a
hole, and get inside through that -
We can't do that.
We'll endanger the girl's
life, it's too risky.
How about smoking him out?
We could burn that
workshop from all sides -
and then catch him
right as he comes out!
Shut it.
Don't say any more.
No This isn't good.
I need to cool my head and stay calm in
situations like these.
Hey, Captain Bad!
Can you hear me, Captain?
What is it? Do you have my ship?
Oh. Well
I thought about it
But I just don't think we
can find you a large ship.
However, I can probably get
you two or three yachts.
I want a ship! One that can sail
throughout the Pacific, if need be!
Come now, let's stay calm
about this, Captain.
How about this?
Just give up on the ship.
If you do, I shall set your men free
this very instant. All of them.
Of course, you can go free as well.
You can leave this village and
go where ever you want by foot.
It's a good deal, don't you think?
We're pirates!
We have no intentions of
becoming mere bandits!
Being bandits isn't all
that bad, you know.
Outside Moominvalley lies numerous
beautiful mountains that will make you
wish you're a bandit
once you've seen them!
This is the first time I've ever
seen such a stupid police chief.
What?!
Go get someone else.
I'm not dealing with you anymore.
I'm really angry now!
Shut up!
You're making a very big mistake
if you think threats work on me!
On top of cheering him up, the
chief has now angered him.
Curse it all!
This is the end of it all!
Burn down that workshop!
We're turning that cursed
pirate into barbecue!
Chief! Please! Calm down!
Bring me my gun! I'm going to pepper
that useless piece of meat with holes!
I'll hang him! I'll mince him!
I'll burn him on a stake!
Chief! Please be quiet and calm down!
Seriously!
It's been thirty minutes!
You only have an hour left!
Do you mean to just watch silently
as I kill this young lady?
Floren! Don't worry!
I'll save you! I promise!
Water Need water
Did you say something?
I need water. My throat is drying up.
Oh but well brdfg
Hey! Bring the girl something to drink!
She's thirsty!
I will at once!
Wait for me, Floren!
I'm going to bring her drink.
No, you can't.
This is dangerous, so
leave it to us policemen.
Just a moment, Chief.
Please let Moomin bring
Floren her drink.
I just thought of an idea.
Snufkin!
Only a brave young man
can make this plan work.
Are you up for it, Moomin?
Of course.
Darn it, what the hell are they doing?
They're taking awfully
long with that drink.
Excuse me I just
want to let you know -
I can still endure
for a bit longer.
No, it's alright. I'll make
them bring your drink soon.
Actually, I'm quite thirsty myself.
We've been here together
all this time, after all.
Hey! Get me something to drink too!
I have. I brought both
of you some juice.
Alright. Come in.
But you alone can enter, understood?
Please don't worry about that.
I'm all alone.
You've also brought my share, I see.
I have.
That's it, stop right there.
You can leave them on the floor.
The larger cup is yours, and
the smaller one is for Floren.
Now, take a few steps backward.
Right, now, wait there.
Oh, it's rather reddish.
It's raspberry juice, it's really good.
Please help yourself.
I've changed my mind.
I'm letting the lady
have the larger cup.
What? W-why?
But that cup's much bigger!
I'm not all that thirsty so I'll
be fine with the smaller share.
Please go ahead and drink, little lady.
No! Don't drink it, Floren! Don't!
Why can't she? Does it
happen to be poisoned?
What? No, no, of course not.
No poison at all.
Then what is it? A
sleeping drug perhaps?
I knew it.
I thought it was strange that
you had separate cups prepared.
Drink!
N-no, t-thanks.
I'm not thirsty
Why are you hesitating? You
told me it isn't poisoned.
Drink!
Moomin!
You're that girl's
boyfriend, aren't you?
Well, then. If you're not
going to, I guess I'll -
just have to let that
girl drink this then.
Ah! No, please wait! I'll
drink it, I'll drink.
Moomin! No! That has some kind
of drug, right? Don't drink it!
Don't worry, Floren.
I'm not going to die. It's alright.
In that case, drink already!
I said drink!
Gulp it down!
Hurry and drink it all up!
You said it wasn't poisoned, right?
It's not.
No sleeping drug either?
O-of course not n-n-no
such thing
Moomin! What's wrong? Moomin!
No need to worry.
Your boyfriend's just taking
a rather long afternoon nap.
Thinking up all these
useless schemes
Who in their right mind would fall
for such a cheap childish trick?
That was good!
Oh, my bad. This was your share.
Sorry about that.
I'll have them bring you more. Without
the sleeping drug, of course.
Those idiots are in for a shock when
they see me all fine and dandy!
Hurrah!
Moomin!
There wasn't any sleeping
drug in this cup.
There's some juice left.
Would you like some, Floren?
Oh, my! So, you were just
So? My acting wasn't
half bad, now, was it?
Moomin!
And thus, the not-so-bright
pirate was captured.
Bad, the pirate, slept for three
days and three nights after that.
It wasn't just because
of the sleeping drug.
He was also very tired.
Have you ever seen a dragon, Snufkin?
There might be one left in the
world, if only just a single one.
Small, and with golden
warts on its skin,
it can breathe fire
through its mouth!
This is not some sort of
fantasy, it's for real!
Next time on Fun Family
