Grandpa. Grandpa.

Grandpa.

Oh, Sakura.

Remembering the old days?

It's time for the super express Pegasus to come in.

The Pegasus? Right. There is a reservation for a picnic.

I totally forgot.

Get a grip, Grandpa.

Speeding Through The Storm!

Everybody, come take a look. The construction site of a new dam.

It's almost complete.

This dam is being hastily built to replace an old, dangerous dam upstream.

Come on, whose turn is next?

Tamao, what're you betting?

I'm betting this. A birthday gift from my mom.

It's got my name on it.

Okay, here goes.

I'll beat you this time.

Look at the remains of steam locomotive rails.

A steam engine used to go choo choo chugga chugga...

Choo choo chugga chugga... Choo choo chugga chugga...

Everybody look at me... Huh?

Children these days...

You lose, Astro.

Give me what's most precious to you.

| don't have anything.

Sure you do. Your most precious thing.

Your energy capsule.

But that's...

It's only a game.

Come on, take it out.

Why not show us what's inside your body?

What?

Heave-ho.

Wow, so this is how it is inside.

Let me take a better look.

Let me take a look—

Ouch! You're killing me.

I'm sorry, Tamao.

Thanks.

What the heck are you doing?!

Just looking inside Astro's chest.

Is this an unmanned station?

Yes. Most stations are unmanned outside the cities.

What is that big building, sir?

That's the old obsolete dam upstream.

That's on our tour schedule, isn't it?

Of course.

This is the lodge we're staying in tonight.

There's a cow.

That's a Holstein. A milk cow.

- Thank you for taking in so many of us. - No problem.

Look! A steam locomotive.

- Oh yeah! - I've seen one at a museum.

What is this?

An old steam engine locomotive.

What an antique to have around.

What? What's the idea?

I'm making you pay for calling the D51 bad names.

What about the D51?

Why do you clean it when it doesn't even run?

Are you crazy?

It can too run!

| don't believe you! No way a piece of junk like this can run.

Why you...

Hey you...

She's gone already.

I'm scared.

- Thunderstorm. - I'm scared.

It's raining.

The weather changes quickly in the mountains

but this is so sudden and violent.

It's only getting worse.

- Look at Tamao trembling. - Really.

What a coward. It's only a storm.

It's somewhere above the train station.

That's not good.

The last express of the day is coming in at 7:30pm.

- Astro, go take a look. - Yes.

Oh. | still have time.

There!

Go!

- Astro! - Astro!

Huh? They're quitting on me.

What's going on?

What's wrong, Astro?

No... Nothing.

Oh my. Everybody, cheer up.

Sing together, and the storm won't be scary.

Maybe, maybe not. So let's sing.

I've prepared some warm soup. Come to the dining room.

Come on, cheer up. It's not good not eating.

Still, this is quite a violent storm.

I've never seen a storm like this in all my 30 years.

30 years?

Old man, are you saying you're only 30 years old?

- It's dark! - Help!

Calm down! Cool it!

Sakura, switch to the emergency generator.

Yes.

Old man, what's that?

Emergency evacuation signal.

What did you say?

Hello, this is the lodge downstream.

Old man, there's trouble. The pump's broken and the dam is about to break.

Evacuate to a safe area.

What? Can't you send us a rescue team?

All transportation has been cut off.

The storm is too violent. We can't do anything.

Hello? Hello? It's broken, too.

Don't they care what would happen to us?

I'll go take a look.

Wow, the water is up to the limit.

Here | go.

Huh?! It's cracking!

This is terrible. | have to get back to the lodge.

There's trouble, sir. There's a crack in the dam.

What did you say?

What happened to your leg jets?

Malfunction for unknown reason.

What else can go wrong?

We must evacuate to below the new dam downstream.

The new dam can hold back the rapid water if the old dam breaks.

Evacuate... But how?

- Oh no... - | don't want to die...

I got it.

Huh?

There's the D51 in the front. Why don't we get in the passenger car?

Then Astro can bring it to a safe area, can't he?

- Astro! - Astro!

Astro can't do it now.

If he holds up the passenger car in his hands, he can't fly.

His leg jets are malfunctioning.

- Oh no! - Astro's our only hope.

Hey Grandpa, let's get the D51 running.

That's right. You said it could run.

| did. And | wasn't lying.

Right, Grandpa? Grandpa!

We can't move that locomotive.

- Why can't you? Why? - Tell us why.

Or we'll all be lost in water and die.

Well, you know, who knows if the tracks are in working order,

or the bridge, or the tunnel...

Don't worry. | can go ahead and do something.

No, it's no good. It can't be done.

Look at that house!

No, no, | don't want to die! | don't want to die out here.

Grandpa, please, save everyone.

Please let the D51 run. Please, Grandpa.

I've been taking care of the D51 every day.

I've always believed that there'd be a day when it would run.

Besides, it's been your dream to get the D51 running again.

If you won't do it, then | will.

Wait!

Everybody, get on the D51.

Grandpa.

Sakura, you're in charge of the passenger cars.

I'll be in the engine car.

Okay. Everybody, get on the train.

Hurry!

Come on. If you stay, you'll die.

- Astro, we'd better go, too. - Yes, sir.

Excuse me.

I'm, in fact...

Yes?

Look at this.

You're a robot.

| used to be the D51's automatic driving system...

In short, | was only a computer.

What?

There used to be a coal mine by the dam upstream.

The D51 and | used to carry coal everyday.

It was a rainy day like this. We were at a turn,

and suddenly the brake failed.

That was the last time | drove.

The owner of the mine took in the D51 and me.

He remodeled me like this, and since then I've been serving this family.

What about that girl, Sakura?

She is the heir of this family.

It was before Sakura... no, no...

Lady Sakura was yet to have her first birthday

when her parents passed away in an airline accident...

I've raised her ever since.

My mission has always been to protect Lady Sakura.

| see.

I'm not young anymore, but I'll give it my best.

I'll give it all I've got.

This is my life. Please insert it into the D51.

Old Man...

- Let's get going. Hurry. - Yes.

We're ready to go now.

We'll just leave it up to the Old Man.

Well, Old Man, do your best.

Let's go!

- Yeah! - Great! We're going!

- It's moving! - What a relief.

All right!

Grandpa, it's moving. | Knew it could run.

- Astro, go ahead and check the rails. - Yes, sir!

Oh!

There you go!

Here!

Atta boy, Old Man. Keep it up.

Everybody's lives depend on you.

| have to remove that tree or the bridge will collapse.

There!

Huh?

Oh no!

There!

Just a little more, Old Man. Hang in there.

Bring back the power of the D51, and the spirit of steam locomotives.

Run, go ahead, run!

Look! Over there!

Grandpa, help us.

Naoto, is she saying the rapids are right behind us?

Wanna see?

| don't. I'm scared.

Oops, they're catching up with us.

Old Man, for dear life, please go faster.

The new dam is in sight.

Not much more to go. Keep it up.

One last hill. We'll be safe if we get to the top.

Don't slow down.

You're doing great.

You did it! You ran ahead of the water.

- We're saved! - Good, good.

- We're saved! I'm not scared anymore. - Hooray!

Your Grandpa saved us. Thank you so much.

Good work, Old Man.

"Not young anymore"? You're in your prime.

Huh? This is Tamao's pendant.

Could it be...

I knew it. This was blocking my circuit.

Oops, this is not good. My energy...

Thank you, Old Man. We're out of danger now.

Let's stop and take a rest. Why don't you pull the brake?

Huh?

Hang in there, Old Man.

Huh? We should be stopping...

Something's wrong. The brakes are probably not working.

Naoto, are they saying we're going too fast?

They seem to be. Wanna look outside yourself?

| don't. I'm scared.

Grandpa.

Do something, Old Man.

Oh yeah. The brake valve...

It's no good. It won't budge.

What's wrong, sir?

The brakes have failed. Do something.

The brakes? Oh no!

Here!

There!

It's no good! Darn, if only | had more energy...

Oh dear Lord.

Oh! The track is gone!

What can I do?

Dead end! Dead end!

| know!

Flying. We're flying.

We're saved! Saved!

Thank you. Where's Grandpa?

- Are you all right, sir? - I'm all right.

The Old Man knew this would happen.

Grandpa! Grandpa!

Where's Grandpa?

Where is Grandpa?

Well, in fact, your grandfather, well...

He was a robot. An automated driving system.

That can't be true.

My Grandpa can't be a robot. Liar!

Grandpa! Grandpa!

Grandpa! Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Astro, we've got to ask Dr. Ochanomizu to rebuild the Old Man.

Yes. Surely Dr. Ochanomizu can repair him.

Welcome to Egypt, land of mystery.

The mysterious robot Caesar is destroyed, leaving a mysterious cane behind.

What mystery does this temple hold?

Hey! What are you doing?

I find myself attacked by wolf and scarab robots!

It's no use! My power's running out!

Are you Cleopatra?

Next time on Astro Boy: The Return of Queen Cleopatra!

Next time on Astro Boy:

The Return of Queen Cleopatra Please look forward to it... See you then!

Next time on Astro Boy:

The Return of Queen Cleopatra Please look forward to it...

Next time on Astro Boy:

My arms and legs are jet boosters that let me fly

Astro Boy! Astro Boy! Mighty Atom!

A machine gun flares from my hips

Astro Boy! Astro Boy! Mighty Atom!

My eyes are searchlights and my hands fire lasers

| fight in the name of peace!

Let's go on a journey together!
