Listen carefully Watch out

That's right Astro Don't lower your guard

He Is righteous A boy made from science

Wolf. A wolf is coming.

Where? Darn, that liar tricked us again.

Wolf. A wolf is coming. Help.

We won't be tricked this time.

This time it's true. Help!

And so the boy who always lied

was finally eaten by the wolf.

Good. Very nice, Astro.

Now there's a lesson here for all of us.

Who can tell me what the lesson is?

- | know! - Pick me!

- Pick me. - | know.

Shibugaki.

What is the lesson in the story?

Ah...

You gotta be a lot smarter when you're telling lies.

What? Those who laughed now, I'll see you after school.

No, Shibugaki.

Don't take it out on others.

So, how can | Say it?

If you keep telling lies, you'll find yourself in real trouble.

Lying leads to thieving. You must not lie.

Astro will be fine.

Robots are made unable to tell lies.

- Yes! - All right, that's enough for today.

What would happen if a robot could tell lies?

The Liar Robot

Miss.

- Let me. - Thank you, True.

What is it?

A seashell?

Wow, so pretty.

Is it really pretty?

Yes, very pretty.

What color is it? White, blue, or pink?

Blue. Like the sea on a clear day.

You could almost see through it.

Blue...

| wonder if I'll ever see again.

Doctors say you will. You will.

Really?

Really.

True!

True, bring Kozue back. School children are here for the tour.

Welcome to Earth Crust Research Center.

Your class looks cheery.

They're saying there'll be a big earthquake coming...

The one in the newspapers? No need to worry for a while.

Oh right. | just can't stand earthquakes and lightning.

True, | have to speak with the visiting children.

Go to the measuring room for me.

Okay.

A robot assistant, eh?

He works very hard. | couldn't get by without him.

I'm surprised. You look just like Astro.

Astro?

Astro!

Yes!

Striking resemblance.

What a surprise.

The earthquake is caused by the surface of the earth, the crust,

getting wrinkled, torn, and shaken,

which is caused by, all around the world...

This is so boring.

Let's go check out the real measuring computers.

Daddy Mustache would be mad if he finds out.

He's right.

Are you guys afraid of a teacher? | don't want chickens for friends.

I'm coming, I'm coming.

Astro, are you going to be the good boy now?

I'm coming, too.

Who's there?

Was | imagining things?

- Cool. - Let's invite ourselves in.

Hello, this is South Izu Earth Crust Center.

Yes, there's been an abnormal rising for a month now.

Ocean bottom, off Izu Peninsula.

The computer estimates a major earthquake is possible today.

If this information leaks, it'd cause a panic.

Keep it a secret until we are fully prepared.

| understand. I'm not telling anyone.

Oh no!

- Oh no! - It's horrible.

- A major earthquake! - An earthquake is coming.

What?

Is that true, Dr. Domoto? A major earthquake...

Who said that?

Your robot assistant.

We heard him talking to the Weather Bureau.

True. True.

True is gone.

To where?

He flew off somewhere.

What?

An earthquake is coming. An earthquake.

A big earthquake.

An earthquake is coming.

Did you hear that? A big earthquake is coming.

He's the assistant at the lab.

- Gotta get away. - Run!

- Run for it. - An earthquake.

A big earthquake is coming. A major earthquake.

Everybody!

So you Say it's a mistake that the earthquake is coming.

Astro, go to town and put out the fire.

Yes.

Listen, don't let the fire get to that gas tank.

If that blows up, all of Shimoda City will go.

Mr. Firefighter, has everybody evacuated?

- Yeah, evacuation is complete. - Oh good.

Okay!

Now!

There!

There.

Oh wow...

What? You did not issue such a warning?

A mistake by your robot assistant? Damn!

Arrest the robot called True immediately.

The earlier earthquake warning was a mistake.

If you see the Earth Crust Research Center's robot assistant,

please notify us.

Where has that robot gone?

- Get him. - Yeah!

Catch that robot.

Very good work. You'll be honored.

I'm glad | could help you.

He spread the rumor about the big earthquake.

- | saw it. - So did I.

- Call the police. - Get him.

Did you spread the horrible rumor?

No, it wasn't me.

- | saw with my own eyes! - Me, too!

- No mistake about it. - He's the one.

It wasn't me. This is a mistake.

It wasn't me.

True!

True, stop!

True! Huh?

You are under arrest.

Come with us.

It wasn't me.

He's resisting. You may fire.

Okay!

He's getting away. Fire, fire!

There he is.

True, why did you spread such a horrible rumor?

True!

Let me go.

Where has he gone?

Huh? What is that?

Watch out!

Rats, watch out! What's wrong with you?

A landslide in the tunnel has buried the rails.

What? Is that true?

It's true.

True, there you are.

You won't get away.

True, why...

There!

True, come on!

Stop it, True.

- What? - | checked inside. It was all right.

What about the other kid?

He flew out the tunnel on the other side.

Darn it. What a waste of time!

Thanks, kid.

Oh!

Watch out!

Oh my!

What about True?

What's going on here?

Where has he gone?

- The liar robot is back. - That robot spread the rumor.

True, come down here.

Yes.

True...

What the heck is going on?

I've never heard of a robot telling lies.

| am responsible for this incident.

What do you mean?

| shall explain why.

Daddy Mustache, True...

What did you do to True?

| just turned off his energy switch.

Please come this way. You, too, Astro.

| lost my wife in a traffic accident a year ago.

My daughter Kozue was in the same car and she lost her sight.

There is no hope for her eyes to recover with today's medical science.

True and my daughter have been close friends.

A robot who cannot tell lies would tell my daughter about her eyes.

She had just lost her mother. If she found out about her sight,

| was afraid she would not recover from the shock.

So | made up my mind.

| worked on his decision-making circuit

and altered it so that he would tell what's contrary.

| was successful with my attempt.

True kept telling my daughter, "You'll see again someday."

This encouraged my daughter, and she came out of the shock.

Now | see your reason.

But, listen, Dr. Domoto, | do sympathize,

but it's dangerous if robots don't make the right decisions.

You're so right. The worst has happened.

| take full responsibility.

I'll tell my daughter the truth.

I'll modify True back to normal. Help me.

It's done.

Huh? Isn't anybody home?

True, so you're here. Wake up. It's a phone call.

Your energy switch is off.

Silly me, | thought he was taking a nap.

Miss.

True, it's a phone call. Answer it, please.

Yes.

This is Earth Crust Research Center.

That's the voice of the assistant who gave us the phony report.

You won't do. Give me the chief. Call Dr. Domoto.

What's wrong? Say something.

Oh!

Oh...

Oh...!

What's wrong, True.

There is a sign of a big earthquake.

Not you again. | won't be fooled anymore. Damn!

Hello? Hello?

True...

Shimoda P.D.? There's a big earthquake coming.

Please prepare for evacuation.

You're still lying, aren't you?

I'll smash you into a million pieces.

Hello, I'm not lying. Hello?

Miss, let's go.

Emergency. A big earthquake is coming.

Please evacuate, everyone, to the hilltop over there.

| have to go warn the people of the town. Hurry.

Please, Astro, take care of Miss.

How stupid. He can't fool us again.

Astro, True's decision making circuit has been repaired, right?

Yes!

That means a big earthquake is really...

Emergency!

A big earthquake is coming.

Evacuate now.

A big earthquake is coming. Hurry!

Everyone!

- You, liar robot! - Trying to fool us again?

It's true. Please believe me.

A big earthquake is coming. Evacuate now.

- It's a lie! - Get him!

- Beat him up! - How dare you fool us!

- Take this! - How do you like it?

- Darn you! - Learn from this!

Please run... A big earthquake... is coming...

- Still joking. - Damn the liar robot.

- What's going on? - Earthquake!

I'm praying, I'm praying...

Astro, go! Help the townspeople to evacuate.

Yes!

Yes!

True, are you all right? Answer me if you're safe.

True!

I'm fine. Don't worry.

True, I'm so glad.

I've got to rescue more people.

Please stay in a safe area with everyone.

Be careful.

Astro just told a lie.

Astro didn't tell a lie.

He impersonated True to put Kozue's mind at ease.

Astro is such a wonderful robot that he can impersonate others.

Astro is such a good boy.

A ski lounge in a blizzard.
