Moomin (1990) s01e16 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.
Martians in Moominvalley!
There are creatures living on Mars.
Do you know what these
creatures are like?
If you think they look
like this, then I -
regret to say that you
are gravely mistaken.
Of course, this is none other
than Sniff, Moomin's friend.
I see. The rumors are true then.
What are those rumors?
The rumors about Martians
coming to invade Moominvalley!
Then that flying saucer
had Martians on it?
Probably.
Could they have been making fun of me?
I don't know about that.
What I do know is that -
Martians have entered
the Moominvalley area.
"Mars hosts a much more advanced
civilization than Earth.
As such, Martians are
very peaceful creatures, -
and the idea of them attacking our
planet is quite unthinkable."
so writes the author of this book.
But it seemed to me that flying
saucer was really going for me.
Then that flying saucer might
not have had Martians on board.
I bet they were making fun of you.
The Chief said that Martians have
come to invade Moominvalley, though.
That must be some kind of mistake.
I'd very much like to meet a Martian.
I suppose that would be nice.
This talk about Martians
is very interesting,
but it's about time
that I go to the field.
Mamma, let me help out!
Oh? What could that be?
I don't believe it's something
we grew in our field.
This must be the flying
saucer, it must have crashed.
Do you think there are
Martians on board?
They might be injured.
Let us go take a look then.
I believe that hole is the door.
That's a weird-looking contraption
I wonder what it is.
It looks like a radio.
Maybe it's a Martian radio.
Is there really no one inside?
Hello, anyone there?
I suppose they really aren't around.
Yes More than that though,
this sound bothers me.
Do you think this flying saucer
is now incapable of flight?
Can't it be fixed?
Who could possibly fix it?
It would be too much for Pappa.
If I may speculate, I believe this
flying saucer is going to explode soon.
A keen speculation, Mamma.
You mean to say that in
case of a mechanical -
failure such that it
is unable to move, -
this flying saucer is
set to self-destruct so -
that it won't fall into
the hands of others?
Isn't that the case?
In that case, we'll be in danger
if we don't run away soon.
I believe the Martian
who was piloting this -
ship must have left it
for the same reason.
Let's take this device with us.
Looks like it's really
going to explode.
So it would seem.
It disappeared?
It did.
Martians really do have a more advanced
civilization than ours.
I suppose the only proof
we have that a flying -
saucer was here are this
hole and this device.
What kind of device is it?
I have no idea.
It has multiple buttons though,
which suggests multiple functions.
I wonder what this button does.
Pappa, where are you?
Oh, don't be silly.
Mamma, it seems Moomin has
become unable to see me.
Yes, I suppose.
Actually, I'm unable to as well.
What? Seriously?
It's true
So pressing this button shines a
light that makes one invisible.
Pappa, I believe it's
best that you turn -
yourself back to
normal immediately.
I suppose.
Let's see How do I do this
If I press this button
Did it work? Can you see me now?
No.
That's strange
Shall I try pressing
the button for you?
Please do.
I've pressed it.
You're back!
This is a dangerous device.
If you turn yourself invisible, you
won't be able to turn yourself back.
Martians seem to make
mysterious devices.
I believe we should keep
this somewhere safe, Mamma.
I agree.
Moomin!
Why the hurry?
We found a strange person.
A strange person?
I think he might be a Martian.
Does he look like a jellyfish?
No, not at all.
My is watching him for us now.
Everyone, come with me!
Heading somewhere, Moominpappa?
Oh, well, yes
In that case, may I ask Mamma a few
questions before you go on your way?
What might it be, Chief?
I received a report that
a flying saucer crashed -
into your field and
went there to check.
However, I only found a hole
and there was no saucer.
And?
Well, I just thought you might've
seen the said flying saucer.
I did. But it quickly
disappeared afterwards.
Disappeared?
Yes, it disappeared.
Do you mean it flew away?
No, I mean it disappeared.
Moomin saw it as well.
Well, that's strange.
Very mysterious.
Did you see the Martians
who were on the saucer?
I didn't.
Please tell me the truth.
Whyever would I lie to you?
Oh, I suppose you won't.
Ah, this rumor of the
Martian invasion -
going around is making
me quite nervous.
Well then, Chief. We'll be on our way.
Oh, by all means.
By the way, where are you headed?
We're on our way to look
for shells at the beach.
Farewell, Chief.
Looking for shells, huh?
I should go look for my Martians, then.
Over here!
Here, here!
So this is a Martian.
He looks very different
from what you said, Pappa.
Have you tried talking to him?
We can't understand a word he's saying.
Excuse me.
Are you really a Martian?
He's probably a Martian
child, isn't he, Pappa?
It looks like he's crying.
He must be very hungry.
Let's take him home.
We have to make sure the
Chief doesn't see him.
We can't understand a
word you're saying, dear.
But I can tell that you're hungry.
Here, have some milk.
He really must be a child, Pappa.
He's missing Mars so he's crying.
Does that mean he came to
Moominvalley all by himself?
Where are his parents?
I don't know that, of course.
But I'm very sure that this
kid is feeling homesick.
Will the Chief arrest even
such a helpless child?
Well, we all know he's a bit
too serious about his duties.
This child couldn't
possibly harm anyone.
Indeed.
Oh! The Chief is headed here!
Oh dear! We need to hid
this child, quick!
Stinky is with him.
Stinky must have tattled on us.
Alright, you need to
hide in the dining room.
We need to do something quick.
It's no use, this kid won't budge.
I have an idea.
What do we do?
We're going to use that device.
That device?
We'll have you disappear
for a while, alright?
Which button was it again?
The Chief is here.
Hello, Moominpappa. I heard
that there's a Martian here.
What in the?
W-What
W-What is this?
Are you alright, Chief?
I'm at a loss right now.
Just what has happened to me?
You've become like a light bulb.
So I've become luminous?
But why would I suddenly glow?
You look very cool, Chief.
Indeed. You're bright and
shining, like a fine knight.
Now that you say those, I do
feel quite more dignified.
I'll head back to the station and
show my new glowing self to my men.
I'm sure they'll respect
you even more now.
Yes. Well, then, everyone.
If you'll excuse me.
Sunny, sunny, warm, sunny Mr. Sun.
In a bright sunny room.
A boy is playing, having fun.
With a smile that melts all gloom.
What are you doing?
I'm so glad this device is safe!
Huh? You can speak?
Of course! This here can be
used as a speech decoder.
If I stand in the range of
its ultrasonic waves, I -
can understand your words
and I can speak with you.
That's quite an amazing device.
Ah, where are you going?
I'm going to follow that
man who was here just now.
The Chief will arrest you!
Yes, he will!
He only forgot about you and
went back to the station -
because he was surprised
at suddenly glowing.
Hey, you can't go to him!
Hey!
He was glowing so bright!
His glowing light reminds
me of my hometown!
Mister! Mister!
What is it?
Let me come with you!
What?
You look splendid glowing
like that, Mister!
Is that so?
You look just like the
people from my hometown!
Oh, now that you mention
it, you're glowing too.
I can come with you, right? Right?
I'm sorry, but I don't have the
time to attend to you right now.
There's a growing
concern about Martians -
coming to invade
Moominvalley at the moment.
Oh, shoot.
I just remembered there
was information regarding -
a Martian hiding at
Moominpappa's place.
The Chief is coming back.
And the Martian?
He's right behind the Chief.
Does it look like he's been arrested?
I couldn't tell.
In the name of the law, open this door.
Those are quite the formal
words for a visit, Chief.
How may I help you this time?
I had some information
that a Martian is hiding -
in your house, so I
came to take a look.
Actually, that's what I
came here for earlier.
A Martian?
There's no point lying.
You won't do -
yourselves any good
by hiding a Martian.
I'm not lying. I haven't
seen any Martians at all.
You too, Mamma?
Yes. I haven't seen any.
I guess Stinky tricked me.
It's good he didn't see you.
I'm going with that Mister.
You really don't understand, do you?
You'll get arrested and
put to jail, you know.
But I like that person!
Wait!
Oh. We should just make
the Chief stop glowing.
Oh, yes. Let's do that.
Hurry, Mamma. Push the button.
Let's see. I believe it was this one.
I've already pushed it!
That Mister isn't glowing
anymore, so you're -
not interested in
him anymore, right?
Now, let's go back home.
Mamma. Mamma!
The Martian has stopped
following the Chief.
Come here for a moment.
The Chief has stopped glowing and is
happily on his way back to the station.
Mamma?
Mamma, where are you?
I'm right here.
Where?
Where are you?
Right here.
Oh?
What on earth happened, Mamma?
Let's see
It's probably that device's fault.
Making people invisible and shrinking
them-that really is one strange device.
Oh dear, I don't have my apron.
Pappa, please get my
handkerchief from my handbag.
You've turned awfully small.
But you're very cute, Mamma.
Do you want to stay
that way for a while?
Oh dear, no, I wouldn't!
I'm used to doing my everyday
chores in my former size.
Please push the device button for me.
Alright.
Mamma.
What is it?
The device is nowhere to be found.
Ah, hey!
Stinky! Return that device at once!
You thief!
Pappa!
It's alright! I'll
definitely get it back!
Huh? It's Stinky.
Oops. Wrong way.
Moomin, catch Stinky!
He stole the Martian device!
Roger, Pappa!
Hey! Sniff!!
Catch that thief!
Leave it to me!
Sniff! If you let me pass, I'll
give you some golden coins.
Golden coins?
Three No, five golden coins!
F-five
No! Return what you stole!
Ah! Why you!!
Hey. Where's the device?
Where is that device??
Stinky threw it into the river.
Oh dear. This isn't good. Mamma
What happened to Mamma?
We can't turn Mamma back to
normal without that device.
Back to normal?
There's nothing we can do.
Given time, I'm sure I'll
get used to this size.
It's alright. We'll do our
best to look after you.
Oh, I can take care of myself
even if I'm now much smaller.
I'll also be able to take
care of you two, as always.
I'll just need some time to
get used to my new body.
They're here! Mother and Father
have come to pick me up!
Hey! Hey!
It's a flying saucer!
Mother, Father!
My mother and father would
like to thank you all.
It seems you got scolded earlier.
Oh, yes. It's because I took off on
the flying saucer without permission.
My boy.
Do you think you can ask your parents
to return Mamma to her normal size?
Yes, I can.
Whoa. You're heavy, Mamma!
Oh! Wait! Mamma's getting too big!
I'm sorry for the trouble, but
could you please do it over.
She needs to be a little smaller
Please make her about my size.
Heavy! Mamma, heavy!
So?
Did you ever even dream that
Martians would be like these?
"This world is too peaceful,
too boring, and it's -
getting in the way of
my work, so Pappa said.
Alright! It's time to find
Pappa a heart-stopping,
breath-taking
exciting adventure!
