Director IM Jeong-gyu

Master YANG, I can't walk anymore.

Let's take a break.

Tired already?

Oh, my feet.

Tired?

We've been wandering for three days without food!

Strange, I've never lost my way while hiking.

Ms. JANG, there is a strange cave over there.

Let's check it out.

A cave?

Catch it!

Wow, it's a big one.

Catch a few more.

All right.

There must be people living here.

Maybe.

Look.

I guess we won't starve to death after all.

Gosh, my mouth is watering.

Here.

Should I stop now?

Yes, we have enough.

Okay, then. Let's go.

This is great.

I'm sorry. We should have asked you.

It's all right. Help yourself.

We got lost while hiking these mountains.

I apologize.

Who are you anyway?

This is Taekwondo Master YANG.

He's a 6th dan black belt.

- Taekwondo? - Taekwondo?

And well, this is...

This is Ms. JANG. She teaches children.

- A teacher? - A teacher?

And what are you called?

He's Maruchi. I'm Arachi.

Maruchi and Arachi?

Isn't a teacher supposed to be good in Korean?

Well...

The "Maru" in Maruchi is an old Korean word

that means "top" or "summit."

I see.

And the "Ara" in Arachi is also an old Korean word

that means "beautiful girl."

Basically, the names mean you're the finest boy and girl in Korea.

Now I see how fabulous these names are.

Who gave you such wonderful names?

Grandfather.

He was a very good man.

Does he live here with you?

He passed away.

How heartbreaking.

Blue Skull? It's an incredible story.

I have a suggestion.

Would you like to get formal training at my taekwondo hall?

What do you think?

Learn taekwondo?

Yes, you can learn taekwondo from Master YANG,

and reading and writing from me.

Reading and writing, too?

What do you think, Maruchi?

No, we must stay and protect the nature. It was Grandfather's dying wish.

You can still do that after you become the world taekwondo champion.

Arachi is right.

You should get formal training,

study hard, and improve yourself.

I won't.

Don't be so stubborn. Think about it.

All right, you stay behind.

I'll go with Master YANG and Ms. JANG.

I'll get taekwondo training and an education.

What? You can't!

I'm leaving, Maruchi.

Are you sure you are not going?

Okay, we'll go together.

Welcome, all of you.

Maruchi, Arachi. Welcome to Seoul.

Thank you, Doctor.

I hope you study and train hard

and do great things in life.

We will, Doctor.

Thanks for taking them in, Dad.

Thank you very much, Doctor.

Since you brought them here,

I expect you to teach them well.

You're here, Sis.

Hi, Dol-i.

How have you been?

Good.

Hello.

How have you been, kiddo?

Don't call me "kiddo!"

I'm the future taekwondo champion!

If you want to marry my sister, don't you ever call me kiddo!

All right, I won't.

Who are they?

They're our guests from the mountains.

This is Maruchi,

and this is Arachi.

Maruchi and Arachi?

They'll be living with us from now on.

Treat them well like your brother and sister.

I'm JANG Dol-i.

Treat me like a cute brother!

That's so funny.

Hey.

Why did you leave the bucket there?

I'll teach you a lesson!

You dodged?

Wait!

Why are you picking on someone who is only doing his job?

It was your mistake.

You loud-mouthed kiddo.

Kiddo?

I am a black belt!

You hit me?

You little...

Ouch.

It's dishonorable for a big man to bully a small child like that!

I can't believe him.

Take this, you jerk!

Yes! Bravo, Maruchi!

Wait till we come, Blue Skull 13

Here we come, Maruchi and Arachi

Basic moves for Palgwe Form Seven!

We keep on running to avenge Grandfather's death

Wait till we come, Blue Skull The Evil of Sin

We will smash you all Go, Maruchi and Arachi

Wait till we come, Blue Skull 13

Here we come, Maruchi and Arachi

We keep on fighting to defeat the enemy of humankind

Wait till we come, Blue Skull The Evil of Sin

Wait until the day we confront Go, Maruchi and Arachi

Are you sure you'll win, Maruchi?

No, all I can do is do my best in the matches.

I'm sure you'll win if you fight hard,

because I'll be coaching you backstage.

What?

Are you looking for treats or what?

Darn you.

Oh my, do you have a death wish?

Be the big person here.

I'll forgive you this one time, you'd better thank Maruchi and Arachi.

Is the dog your friend? He's adorable.

We aren't friends. We're enemies.

We quarrel every time we meet.

You seem like good friends.

Spotty is actually a police dog. Mr. KIM, the security chief, brought him.

Spotty the police dog?

A purebred Jindo dog, believe or not.

A police dog must be very busy.

You are very handsome.

Don't act so cute.

You're just a stupid dog.

Catch me if you can!

Spotty, what are you doing here?

So they are Maruchi and Arachi.

That's right, Mr. KIM.

- Maruchi, sir. - I'm Arachi.

Fine children, just as I've heard.

I hope you win this championship.

Thank you, sir.

The finals will soon begin.

The finals will soon begin.

Calling player Balo Makcha from Thailand and player Maruchi from Korea.

Come in, players.

Let's go, Maruchi.

The defending champion, Balo Makcha of Thailand!

The challenger, Maruchi, a taekwon kid from Korea!

Go, Maruchi!

I definitely saw him in the mountains.

This is Pala Pala. This is Pala Pala.

This is Pala Pala.

His name is Maruchi.

He's the one we saw while flying over the mountains.

What? You saw him in the mountains?

Requesting Attacker One.

- Attacker One! - Yes, boss.

Go clear Maruchi.

As you wish, boss.

Go, Maruchi, go!

He's pretty good.

There!

What is that?

Go, Attacker One!

What's this?

Who are you?

Maruchi, Balo Makcha is no match for you.

I'm the one you should be fighting.

What?

There's no pride in defeating a scarecrow like Balo Makcha.

Come on, Maruchi. Bring it on.

I can't allow such a match.

Referee's order.

Leave the arena right now.

Leave!

Shut up.

Are you scared, Maruchi?

Come on.

I'll knead you up like a dough.

No way.

I can't allow this illegal match.

I won't allow it.

What do you want?

Tell me who you are.

If you want to know who I am,

challenge me.

All right, I'll fight you if that's what you want.

Now we're talking.

Way to go, Maruchi!

It's a foul move!

Stop! Stop it right there!

This is Pala Pala. This is Pala Pala.

Maruchi's eyes were posioned and he is dead for sure.

Let's celebrate.

Good job. Avoid police pursuit.

Yes, boss.

You shouldn't be getting up.

You shouldn't.

Goodness.

I'm all right, doctor.

This is incredible.

Others would have been blinded

and killed on the spot by the poison.

Are you sure he's all right?

I've never seen a case like this.

He is an extraordinarily strong boy.

Maruchi, I was so afraid something might happen to you.

So was I.

Everyone, I'm sorry for making you worry.

I think the Blue Skull was behind it.

The Blue Skull?

Spotty, where have you been?

What?

You found out where the unknown killer lives?

- What? - Really?

Where is it, Spotty?

I'm going to catch him right now.

No, Maruchi.

You're not well enough.

I'll go.

Don't worry. Let us come with you, Mr. KIM.

Spotty, show us the way.

The riot police are coming.

Report to the boss immediately.

Yes, sir.

Blue Skull 13, reporting!

What is it?

The headquarters are surrounded by the police.

What?

Who is it?

That stupid dog.

Boss, things seem to be getting dangerous.

What happened?

You must leave, boss.

They're infiltrating our headquarters.

Idiots!

The situation is critical.

Leave for your safety, please.

Commander Pala.

Prepare to move to the Mountain Base right away.

Yes, boss!

The pool has been drained and the floor split open.

It's the Blue Skull Aircraft!

It's their aircraft! Shoot it down!

Yes, it's the skull-shaped aircraft.

Who are the Blue Skull, anyway?

Let's get out, Mr. KIM.

Something feels wrong.

Let's go, then.

Get down, now!

That's right.

The World Nuclear Physics Conference at the East Sea Underwater Park

is very important.

It will pass a resolution to promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy.

Correct. Because of its importance,

I'd like you to put you in charge of security.

I'd also like to take Maruchi and Arachi. What do you think?

That's exactly what I want.

Maruchi, Arachi.

Hey, Maruchi is still alive.

Radio the headquarters.

New radio transmission, boss.

At the East Sea Underwater Park, nuclear physicists from around the world

are going to hold a conference.

This is big news.

We'll get rid of Maruchi and Arachi and kidnap Dr. JANG this time.

Contact the Arctic Iceberg Base.

Yes, boss.

Attention!

Salute our boss, Sir Blue Skull 13!

At ease!

Iceberg Base Commander!

Yes, boss.

Deploy the Shark Troop to the East Sea of Korea immediately.

Yes, boss.

You will command the sea dinosaur yourself.

Yes, boss.

Prepare for deployment!

Take me and Spotty with you. Please, Dad.

No, it's too dangerous for you.

We can take care of ourselves.

I said no, son.

I'm going, too!

- No. - Let go!

Take me!

This is Attacker One. This is Attacker One.

Daegwallyeong Attacker Unit, get ready.

The weather was supposed to be fine. Why is it so foggy?

Well, it doesn't feel right.

Huh?

Look, Mr. KIM. Over there.

Hey, you're Meruchi?

Wrong. It's Maruchi.

Who are you?

Sir Blue Skull 13 paid me big money to rough you up.

I'm Chikikov the Wrestler.

The Blue Skull?

Come on, baby.

I'll be gentle with you.

Don't underestimate me.

Size does not equal strength!

It feels like punching a stone wall.

How cute. You're tickling me.

But the great Chikikov can't be seen spending too much time on a little child.

He has tremendous strength. I can't defeat him hand to hand.

I'll circle and irritate him, looking for an opportunity.

My eyes. My eyes!

Be quiet, or they'll find us!

It's as beautiful as a fairyland.

It's like paradise.

Let's go to the conference hall.

It was so stuffy in here.

I held Spotty in my arms all the way here.

You managed to come here!

Well, welcome. Let's get you out of here.

This conference will discuss nuclear-powered spacecraft construction,

an issue presented by Dr. JANG Dong-hwan of South Korea.

Mr. Chairman, before the conference there is one thing I'd like to say.

Please go ahead, Dr. JANG.

All right.

A mysterious blue skull-shaped aircraft

has appeared around the world, commiting terrorist acts.

Although it has not been identified yet,

but it is a threat to global peace and security.

It may even be aware that this conference is held here underwater.

So I'd like to warn you to take extra precautions.

Thank you.

How shocking!

It will be an awesome spectacle, boss.

Yes, it will be quite entertaining.

Hey!

You aren't supposed to be in here. Get out!

It's humiliating for a human to swim with a dog.

Get out!

Dol-i, Dol-i is a mischievous boy

Spotty, Spotty is a nasty-tempered dog

Every time they meet they argue and squabble

Dol-i is a brave taekwondo player

No matter who challenges him

How embarrassing.

He is never afraid

Dol-i, Dol-i is a mischievous boy

Spotty, Spotty...

Bring me back my undies!

Every time they meet they argue and squabble

Hey!

I'm going to kill you! Bring it back!

Doctor.

A mysterious herd of sharks are headed this way.

What?

I'd like everyone to avoid the underwater park as much as possible.

A herd of sharks?

Danger! Evacuate!

Dol-i, hurry!

Mr. KIM!

We can't stop this, Maruchi. Look.

Let's get out of here. Come on.

Mr. KIM.

Good, you are both all right.

The sharks are pouring in through the breaks in the walls.

I don't think we can get out through Tunnels 1 and 2.

Mr. KIM!

The underwater-to-ground comm system is completely destroyed!

We have no choice.

It's risky, but let's take Tunnel 3 and get to the submarine.

Maruchi, lead the way.

Doctors, please follow me.

It's a shark!

Everyone, stay close to the wall!

There are leaks here, too.

We're running out of time, Maruchi. Let's get in!

A sea dinosaur!

This is not good.

We can't escape as long as it's blocking the way.

Torpedoes!

Mr. KIM, we'll be doomed if one of their missiles hits us.

I'll go out and handle the sea dinosaur.

No, it's too risky!

Staying here is a risk, too.

Arachi and I will divert the sea dragon,

buying time so you can escape.

All right, but don't take any big risks.

And come back to the submarine as soon as you're done, understand?

I will. Let's go, Arachi.

Good luck, Maruchi and Arachi.

Wait till we come, Blue Skull 13

Here we come, Maruchi and Arachi

We keep on running to avenge Grandfather's death

No matter how hard I hit it here, it wouldn't budge.

Wait till we come, Blue Skull The Evil of Sin

We will smash you all Go, Maruchi and Arachi

Wait till we come, Blue Skull 13

You did it, Maruchi. Now is the chance!

Full ahead!

We keep on fighting to defeat the enemy of humankind

Wait till we come, Blue Skull...

Pull Arachi in.

I hope Maruchi is okay, too.

Wait until the day we confront Go, Maruchi and Arachi

Maruchi.

Maruchi.

What happened to Maruchi?

Mr. KIM, is he okay?

I'm sorry, Arachi. He...

Say no more, please.

You don't have to tell me. I know.

Dad.

Mr. KIM, I can't find my dad.

You can't find Dr. JANG?

I can't believe it. Dr. JANG is missing?

Dad.

Dol-i, please don't cry.

I'm sure Dr. JANG and Maruchi are both okay.

After I take the others back...

Are you awake now?

Who are you?

You, you are...

Yes, I'm a mermaid.

- My name is Yu-ri. - Yu-ri.

What a beautiful name. I'm Maruchi.

But why am I lying here?

You probably can't remember.

Your oxygen tank broke down and you sank into the sea.

I found you and put you here.

Thanks, Yu-ri, for saving my life.

You must be hungry. Wait a moment.

A mermaid? She is such a nice girl.

I wonder what happened to Arachi.

Mr. KIM, Dr. JANG, Dol-i, and Spotty...

Did they make it out of the park safely?

Come up here, Yu-ri.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Please eat. You must be hungry.

Thank you.

How many days has it been, Yu-ri?

Three days.

I think there'll be a storm soon.

It's already been three days,

and we can't even find their bodies. It's horrible.

I can't say about Dr. JANG, but I'm sure Maruchi is alive.

How can you be so certain?

If Maruchi had lost his life,

his energy would have rushed into my body.

His energy, into your body?

That's right. Even though we're apart,

we are like one in body and soul.

A storm will come soon. Let's go into the cabin.

Like a princess I once saw in my dream...

The storm was terrible.

Yes, but you braved it.

Thank you.

Without you, I would surely have lost my life this time.

What is that?

A skull!

This operation was a huge success.

Commander Pala Pala.

Yes, boss.

Good job.

Iceberg Base Commander.

Yes, boss.

I commend you for kidnapping him without leaving a trace.

Thank you, boss.

Defenders One and Two.

- Yes, boss. - Yes, boss.

Bring him here right away.

- Yes, boss. - Yes, boss.

What do you see?

It's suspicious. Maybe it's the Skull's base.

Yu-ri, wait for me here.

Watch out.

Isn't it the sea dragon?

This has to be their base.

Run, Maruchi Fly, Arachi

Maruchi and Arachi Maruchi and Arachi, yeah!

Taekwon kid Maruchi

Freeze! Raise your hands!

Maruchi, you made it all the way here alive.

When we take you to Sir Blue Skull 13,

he will award us richly!

Go ahead.

In search of their enemy, they fly in the sky

Maruchi and Arachi Maruchi and Arachi, yeah!

Arachi's swift punch knocked Blue Skull 13 out flat

It's Dr. JANG!

So you are Dr. JANG?

Yes, and who are you?

Look at me closely.

I used to be human, just like you.

I've been seeking the way to live eternal life.

I did extensive research, studying science and medicine.

So what?

It made me realize

that my limbs were nothing but a burden for me.

Watch the screen.

Unbelievable.

I can still function perfectly.

All that is left for me is to rule this planet and the universe.

But there is one thing.

I still don't have a light-speed spaceship.

So I demand that you build one for me, Dr. JANG.

Do you understand?

Answer me.

What? No way!

If you want, I'll appoint you the Himalayan Base Commander.

What I truly want

is to banish evil forces like you from the Earth forever.

Understand?

What? Do you have a death wish?

Stop!

Maruchi.

Dr. JANG, don't worry. I'm right here with you.

You made it, didn't you?

What are you guys waiting for? Get rid of him!

Where is Dr. JANG?

Doctor.

Doctor!

Yu-ri, I'm here. It's dangerous. Come on over here.

Let's leave this place. Hurry.

It's terrifying.

Strange. The water is becoming shallower.

No, it's not. We are the ones being pushed up.

What is that?

It's the submarine. It's the 'Rainbow'!

Maruchi, you were alive!

Mr. KIM!

- Arachi. - Maruchi.

Maruchi.

You are well! It must have been difficult. I missed you.

I missed you so much, too.

How have you been, Dol-i?

Fine.

Well, what happened to Dr. JANG?

They kidnapped him.

I believe they took him to the Himalayan Base.

The Himalayan Base?

I see. We must go and save him as soon as possible.

Let's roll.

Yu-ri.

Maruchi, goodbye.

Don't go, Yu-ri.

Please don't go.

Yu-ri.

Yu-ri.

Goodbye.

She did so much for me.

Cherish the memory of your friendship with the mermaid.

But first, we have a job to do.

You're right.

Dr. JANG is in distress. We must save him.

Goodbye!

Spotty.

Blue Skull 13!

Maruchi, you did a good job following me all the way here.

You will end up being buried here.

Maruchi, I don't care if they kill me. Do what you believe is right.

Blue Skull! Release Dr. JANG right now!

Come down here and fight me fair and square!

All in due time.

Sonya here used to be the Princess of Snowland.

Sadly, she was captured by me,

but a mighty soldier is still under her command.

Now, you will fight him with the taekwondo skills you flaunt.

Whoever wins will live.

If you lose, Maruchi, both you and the Doctor will be killed.

Commander Pala, open the door.

It's a yeti.

Mr. KIM, would Maruchi have reached the castle by now?

I don't know. We'll find out soon.

The castle is the only place in the snow where the Blue Skull can hide out.

Good, Spotty! Hurry and open the door!

There! Catch it!

Catch it!

Look, Mr. KIM.

We're out of bullets.

Now we fight hand to hand.

None of my moves works on the yeti!

Maruchi, you finally met your match.

Maruchi! Get up!

It's Blue Skull!

Don't break our cover.

Maruchi!

No, don't kill him!

Shut up.

What are you doing? Kill off that Maruchi now!

Kill him now!

Prepare yourself, Blue Skull!

Stop right there, Maruchi.

If you move as much as a finger, Dr. JANG will be a dead man.

Dr. JANG!

You were such a pain in our necks, but it's all over now.

Get on your knees.

Dad!

What a miserable end, Pala.

Maruchi! Watch out!

It's all over.

You did well, Maruchi.

Our master's enemy, the threat to humankind...

He's gone forever.

In search of their enemy, they fly in the sky

Maruchi and Arachi Maruchi and Arachi, yeah!

Arachi's swift punch knocked Blue Skull 13 out flat

Run, Maruchi Fly, Arachi

Maruchi and Arachi Maruchi and Arachi, yeah!

Taekwon kid Maruchi's punch of justice knocked Blue Skull 13 out flat

Goodbye
