""The Return Of Godzilla" (Gojira)" "DAIKOKU ISLAND SOUTHERN TIP OF THE IZU ISLANDS" "THREE MONTHS AFTER THE ERUPTION" "Hey, are you okay?" "I'm okay." "It's stuck, Captain!" "I can't control it!" "We're caught in a strong current!" "How very strange..." "We're going to beach!" "S.O.S.!" "This is the Yahata-maru!" "We are drifting near some reefs!" "Our position is west of Daikoku Island!" "We interrupt this program with a special news flash." "The severe storms last night has resulted in many ships missing..." "Ahoy!" "Is anyone there?" "!" "According to the Maritime Security Agency the number of shipwrecks is increasing." "Including the 77 ton fishing vessel, Yahata-maru which suddenly lost radio contact near Daikoku Island." "All coastal patrols in the area have been alerted..." "You're alive!" "You're still alive!" "It was... a monster." "The island rose up from the sea." "Like an enormous rock but it was alive." "Just a moment!" "Was it like the monster Sea-louse that attacked us?" "No, it was different." "What?" "!" "Flame came out of its mouth." "The noise was terrible!" "Then you saw the thing?" "No, it was too big." "I just saw part of it from the bridge." "This is Maritime Security!" "Alright!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "IZU-OSHIMA ISLAND" "What?" "I made it up?" "You must be kidding!" "Listen, editor!" "I've got a witness who saw the whole thing!" "I saw the giant sea-louse and all the bodies!" "I can prove this monster exists!" "I have evidence!" "This is a big scoop, editor!" "A big scoop!" "Trust me!" "Okay, I'll be over with the negatives." "Yes, yes, whatever." "But at least wait until you see it!" "He must think I'm crazy!" "A huge monster?" "I don't believe you, either!" "You too?" "You handle the phones..." "I'm going out." "KANTO SECOND POLICE HOSPITAL" "Professor!" "Okamura." "You saw the monster?" "I did." "Professor, I've told my story so many times." "I've told the police, the Maritime Security but no one believes me!" "It's only natural." "It's not everyday that monsters appear." "It killed the whole crew and nearly myself." "The monster he saw was..." "Godzilla." "Godzilla?" "I know Okamura." "He's telling the truth." "He thinks it's true." "Let's hope he's wrong." "What about the bodies?" "Their blood was completely drained." "Was it from the sea-louse?" "It was large..." "Normal sea-lice are only a few centimeters long." "The question is, why was it so big?" "I think it was a parasite, feeding on Godzilla." "It would have been continuously subjected to the radiation from Godzilla." "Why would Godzilla appear now?" "Three months ago, there was large volcanic eruption on Daikoku Island." "It must have awakened Godzilla and brought it to the surface." "PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICIAL RESIDENCE" "Godzilla, huh?" "I..." "I was hoping I could finish my term peacefully." "Prime Minister..." "There's no actual indication that Godzilla will attack mainland Japan." "I hope so..." "But, Takegami..." "Yes, sir?" "Keep it from the press, until we know more." "TOKYO DAILY REPORT" "Thank you." "Okay..." "Oh it's you, Maki!" "Editor, what's the meaning of this?" "!" "You didn't print my story!" "There's a good reason." "Let's see the boss." "CHIEF EDITOR'S OFFICE" "The official line of the police and the Maritime Security Agency is that the Yahata-maru with Okamura and 10 others on board, is still missing." "What are you saying?" "!" "The government is well aware that the monster exists." "But why keep it a secret?" "The monster is Godzilla, that's why." "Godzilla?" "I knew it." "Suppose Maki, that we print your story." "There would be a mass panic on all levels of society." "The stock market would collapse." "The cabinet would be out of power." "So for now, just keep it to yourself." "I see..." "The government orders, and you obey." "It's a question of timing, and now is not the time." "Cabinet Secretary Takegami suggested that we speak with Mr. Hayashida, a bio-physics professor." "Hayashida?" "Excuse me." "Professor Hayashida?" "Who are you?" "Maki, of the Toto Press." "So, you're the one I heard about." "What are you studying there?" "The genetics of the Vinegar Fly." "The genetics of the Vinegar Fly?" "Is it connected to Godzilla?" "I heard that you lost both of your parents 30 years ago, when Godzilla attacked Tokyo." "Did you start studying the subject for revenge?" "Do you want to kill it?" "At first, but not anymore..." "Professor, what is Godzilla?" "Most of the people I spoke to say that Godzilla is a creature, a monster." "Do you really think so?" "I think he's a monster created by man." "Humans don't think about the monsters..." "Godzilla is a product of nuclear weapons." "Nuclear weapons?" "Godzilla is a living nuclear weapon capable of causing mass destruction." "Besides, a monster can live forever." "It's invincible?" "Not completely..." "Godzilla is an animal, after all." "Excuse me..." "Do you know her?" "Is she Okamura's girlfriend?" "It's his sister." "His sister?" "Has she seen him yet?" "No, she hasn't." "She doesn't even know he has been rescued." "It's due to the news blackout." "But you've seen him!" "Is he still in the hospital?" "Have you spoken to him?" "Hello again." "Did you speak with Professor Hayashida?" "He's my tutor at the university." "I help him as a part-time assistant in his laboratory." "Are you Okamura's sister?" "Yes." "Are you a friend of his?" "What is your name?" "Naoko." "You must be worried about your brother, Naoko." "Do you have any other family?" "Only him, that's all." "Usually he's out at sea, for several months at a time." "The extra money helps to put us both through college." "It's unforgivable..." "That the government wouldn't let his own sister know, that he is still alive." "It's true he's alive?" "!" "Yes, but he is being confined." "Confined?" "What for?" "Because he saw Godzilla." "The government doesn't want a panic, so he's in isolation." "There's a total news blackout." "But I can't understand why they would keep it from you." "I thought you should know..." "Maki..." "He's being held at the police hospital." "Thank you." "Please let me through!" "I must see my brother!" "No, you can't go in here!" "Come back here!" "You can't go in there!" "Let me go, please!" "I must speak with him!" "Naoko!" "Brother!" "I'm sorry to worry you." "It's alright..." "Naoko..." "What are you doing?" "!" "Give me that camera!" "Just one more shot!" "A moving shot sells papers!" "It's okay!" "I have official permission." "Right!" "Now back off!" "That's enough, Kamijo." "Sure!" "It's good to see you two back together." "SOVIET MISSILE NUCLEAR-POWERED SUBMARINE" "Depth, 300 meters." "Distance, 5 kilometers." "Direction, 12 1/2 degrees." "target is closing rapidly!" "Enemy target is approaching rapidly!" "We must assume from its speed that it will attack us!" "Check sonar!" "Maintain tracking!" "Nothing to starboard!" "We do not detect any engine noise." "We cannot analyze the sound!" "Distance, 2.5 kilometers." "Speed, 40 knots." "We have an active sonar signature!" "I don't know." "Could it be a whale?" "No..." "Whales do not activate sonar." "Then it must be one of the new American nuclear subs!" "Distance, 2 kilometers." "Direction, 12 degrees..." "It's heading right for us!" "Fire torpedoes on the port side!" "Torpedo 1, fire!" "Torpedo 2, fire!" "Quickly!" "Dive to depth, 400 meters!" "Torpedo 1, on target!" "Torpedo 2, on target!" "No sign of enemy torpedoes!" "If they really intend on sinking our submarine the Americans must have decided on nuclear war!" "Captain!" "The enemy target is still closing on us!" "Distance, 100!" "They're on top of us!" "Emergency dive!" "It's still above us!" "It's hovering over us!" "It's going to ram!" "All ahead, full!" "Full ahead, aye!" "Excuse us..." "It's an emergency." "The Russians have announced that a Soviet submarine was destroyed in the northern Pacific." "50 kilometers north of Agoshima, south of Hachyo Island." "They are convinced that the Americans are responsible." "Have the Americans confirmed the attack?" "They denied it." "Our embassy in Moscow just sent us a report." "The Soviets have ordered a full-scale red alert." "It seems they'll declare a nuclear war." "According to East European news services the Russians and the Warsaw-pact countries are ready to attack at anytime." "They are waiting for the signal from Moscow." "In reply, the Americans and NATO allies have put all of their forces at full-alert status." "The tension is mounting as both sides seek to prevent a world catastrophe." "Incredible!" "Five minutes after we received the S.O.S.... ...our anti-sub plane took this photo where the Russian sub sank." "There's no doubt about it." "It is Godzilla!" "Mr. Secretary, contact the Russians and Americans at once." "Yes, sir!" "And then..." "Lift the blackout on the news of Godzilla." "It might save us all!" "Super-power tensions nearly resulted in a full scale nuclear war but time was on our side." "Our investigation proves that America had nothing to do with the sinking of the Russian submarine." "The submarine was destroyed by other forces and a military conflict was avoided." "The submarine had in fact been destroyed by Godzilla." "We have a photograph which was taken where the submarine had sank." "This proves that it was near the scene." "There's no doubt, Godzilla still exists." "The Japanese fishing boat, Yahata-maru, that vanished near Daikoku Island was later found abandoned with all the crew dead except for one survivor who testified to seeing the monster." "As the lone survivor, all I can do for my friends is to claim my desire for revenge on Godzilla." "I can never forgive the monster." "I want it to die!" "Maki!" "Wait!" "GODZILLA LIVES!" "GODZILLA SINKS THE SOVIET NUCLEAR SUBMARINE!" "GODZILLA ATTACKED JAPAN?" "GODZILLA RETURNS!" "Professor, is Naoko here?" "Damn!" "Godzilla is driving everyone crazy!" "You may think you are a good journalist but I expected better from you." "GODZILLA EMERGENCY COUNTER-MEASURE HEADQUARTERS" "We will attack Godzilla with everything available until we defeat it!" "That is all I have to say." "Minister the real question is, will we be able to defeat it?" "Yes, I believe we can." "Will we able to handle its death-ray as well?" "Yes." "We can use the Super X." "Super X?" "It was built in secret to protect the capital." "Its armor is comprised of a titanium-platinum alloy." "All of its circuitry has been designed to withstand incredible temperatures." "Its guns will be firing special cadmium shells designed for use against Godzilla." "As cadmium is used in the seal of a nuclear reactor it should work against Godzilla, as well." "I see..." "It is a flying fortress." "See that huge shadow?" "that's Godzilla..." "It's about 80 meters long." "Will it come here?" "I don't know." "It must have attacked the nuclear submarine to feed on its atomic fuel reserves." "That's its main energy source and it will need more." "Godzilla was first seen near this island." "It then attacked the nuclear submarine." "It looks like it's moving away from us." "It will come back..." "It's bound to..." "We have its favorite food." "INCREASED AGGREGATE POWER NATION-WIDE GODZILLAWARNING SYSTEM" "Godzilla!" "Godzilla!" "Godzilla!" "IHAMA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT SHIZUOKA PREFECTURE" "It's Godzilla!" "Prime Minister, we failed to sight Godzilla earlier due to the dense fogbanks." "I'm terribly sorry." "Go ahead!" "Yes, sir!" "The reactor core!" "RADIATION MEASURING INSTRUMENT" "Godzilla is eating its dinner." "Incredible!" "GODZILLA BREAKS THROUGH THE WARNING CORD RAIDING THE IHAMA NUCLEAR FACILITY!" "FROM THE DENSE FOG COMES A DARK TERROR!" "THE TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF A NUCLEAR FACILITY" "IT ABSORBS THE RADIOACTIVITYAND GOES OUT TO SEA" " DANGER FORTHE JAPANESE RE-LANDING" "Thank you." "Maki..." "Okamura..." "I think that dinosaurs possess a homing instinct." "Now I have the proof." "You mean Godzilla has it too?" "It uses magnetism for radar, like a guiding light." "Birds use it too..." "It's the birds!" "I'm sorry..." "I was wondering why Godzilla left the nuclear plant so suddenly." "Wasn't it because it ate enough radioactivity?" "Professor..." "Migrating birds?" "A flock of migrating birds heading out to sea." "Godzilla is following them." "There must be some sort of link." "You have a point." "Godzilla was looking in the same direction." "Godzilla felt the magnetism." "If that's the case, then there's still hope." "Yes, we can find a way." "Okamura." "Yes?" "I have an old friend named Minami, who is a geologist." "I want you to go see him at Mount Mihara." "Yes, sir." "OSHIMA ISLAND" "Hello?" "This is the institute." "Okamura?" "This is Maki." "Yes, okay..." "Professor!" "It's Okamura." "Okamura?" "What did Minami say?" "I see." "That's possible." "As you can see, we can make the core erupt by applying a small force." "It works on the same principles as this liquid." "It's possible that by using the same theory we can make the volcano erupt anytime we want it to." "The problem is, how do we bring Godzilla to the volcano?" "From what I've outlined, I believe I can come up with something quickly that will attract its attention." "I don't understand it..." "You're saying that Godzilla responds to a homing instinct?" "You want to construct a machine that will reproduce..." "Even if it's possible to set off an eruption artificially what of the damage to the people who live in the vicinity?" "The lava won't flow out of the crater." "The nearby village will remain unharmed." "Yes, but I think it would be best to leave Godzilla to the military." "The military will do their best but at the same time, the Professor should continue his project." "The local residents will have to be evacuated." "We'll try everything, during this grave crisis." "That's all, gentleman." "Of all the things to use to kill Godzilla, they're going to blow up a volcano?" "It's incredible!" "No, we're not going to kill it." "Really?" "Then, what will you do to it?" "Didn't you feel something for it at the nuclear plant?" "When it first appeared 30 years ago, Godzilla was regarded with awe." "Goodbye." "When the people first saw it they thought it was a legendary beast." "Godzilla is a warning..." "I just want to send it home..." "That's all..." "SOVIET SPECIAL ENVOYTCHEFSKI" "AMERICAN SPECIAL ENVOY ROSENBERG" "The Soviet Union has come to a decision as well." "We will use nuclear weapons against Godzilla as our only alternative!" "Prime Minister, you know we have the power to stop Godzilla with nuclear weapons..." "Nothing else will save Japan, but we need your agreement." "The nuclear explosion will be limited!" "We don't think it will take much power to kill it, but we must do it out at sea!" "Would you please understand?" "If Godzilla attacks you, the next place it will attack is our missile base at Vladivostok!" "We have no intention to wait to be destroyed!" "Give as your answer, Prime Minister." "We need your agreement!" "Defense Minister..." "Which nuclear weapons were the Russians and Americans referring to?" "A mini-bomb, one kiloton each." "About half the size of the bomb used on Hiroshima." "If Godzilla reaches Tokyo, what would the damage assessment be?" "Who can answer that?" "The General Director of Science and Technology." "The damage from a nuclear attack?" "2.5 square kilometers would be leveled." "But the people would be evacuated by then." "The nuclear damage would be less severe." "We might have no choice but to use it." "You shouldn't jump to conclusions, Finance Minister." "Have you forgotten about the radioactive fall out from an atomic bomb?" "Besides, are we sure it will destroy Godzilla?" "If Tokyo is destroyed, our economy will be destroyed as well!" "I am merely expressing reservations about the use of an atomic bomb!" "If we don't try, how will we ever know?" "May I speak?" "Yes, Chief of Staff..." "Nuclear weapons even on a small scale, are hard to quantify." "The Americans and Russians have hesitated to use them on the battlefield because of this." "So they have not been tested completely?" "Yes." "Then you think they want to experiment on us?" "Sir, if we refuse their request, we will be diplomatically isolated!" "Thank you, gentlemen, for sharing your opinions." "Let me state Japan's overall principles." "We neither possess, nor use nuclear weapons." "With that being said, we cannot permit their use now." "That is final." "Your country's pride is at stake!" "Russia has already lost a valuable nuclear sub to Godzilla!" "We have the right to destroy it!" "No, it is the right time when principles are at stake." "We cannot lose our heads because of this crisis." "Besides, we have no proof that nuclear weapons will work." "If we use them, who can say when they will be used again..." "You think that we are acting out of national pride and maybe we are..." "But what of your attitudes?" "What right do you have to say that we must follow you?" "Have you decided?" "I will personally speak with your leaders regarding our country's stand." "SOVIET NUCLEAR SATELLITE FOR GROUND ATTACK" "AMERICAN NUCLEAR SATELLITE FOR GROUND ATTACK" "Prime Minister, what did you say to the Russians and the Americans?" "I said, that if Godzilla appeared in your countries, and attacked Washington and Moscow..." "Would you have the courage to use nuclear weapons knowing that many of your people would be killed?" "Both leaders finally understood." "SOVIET POLITICAL OPERATIVE COLONEL KASHIRIN" "SOVIET FREIGHTER BARASHEEBO" "What's the matter, Captain?" "The government, in its infinite wisdom, has decided not to use nuclear weapons!" "It's Godzilla!" "It's moving toward Tokyo Bay!" "It seems certain, that Godzilla will land somewhere along the coast of Tokyo Bay." "They intend to fight Godzilla." "They're going to use the cadmium shells." "Will that stop it?" "Could it work?" "Godzilla is like a living reactor." "I don't think it will work." "Give me the data." "Okay!" "We don't have much time." "We must complete this device quickly!" "Second unit, commence operations." "How is it going?" "The west units are in." "It's going according to schedule." "Command car!" "Command car!" "The anti-submarine sonar's have not detected Godzilla!" "Calling crisis-center headquarters, this is the command car." "Godzilla has not entered the bay." "There are no signs of Godzilla yet." "Captain!" "Abandon ship immediately!" "It's too dangerous!" "You go on ahead!" "I have to get to the missile control system!" "I have to stop it!" "Somebody, help me!" "Chief of Staff, is Super X ready?" "Yes." "They are loading the cadmium shells now." "It is almost ready." "Godzilla is heading for the Civic Center in Kasumigaseki." "Nagatacho, Akiosaka and Aoyama residents are ordered to evacuate." "Godzilla is now heading for the Yotsuya and Shinjuku districts!" "All residents must evacuate!" "Professor, isn't it ready yet?" "Maki, get the papers over there." "Godzilla is above us!" "According to the Crisis Command Headquarters Godzilla is passing through Nagatacho, heading for Shinjuku!" "All in habitants must evacuate!" "All residents must evacuate immediately!" "Command car in Shinjuku calling headquarters!" "this is headquarters." "We are beginning the diversion operation as planned!" "Command car, what are your orders?" "Car one, go to the Sumitomo building." "Car two, head for the Central Park." "Car one, roger!" "Car two, roger!" "Well, that should be enough..." "So, my friends..." "Shall we have a feast?" "In honor of Godzilla?" "I think this will do..." "Yes..." "That's not strong enough..." "I'll have to go and get something stronger!" "What's the meaning of this?" "!" "Go away!" "You have the rest of Shinjuku to play with!" "Adjust to minus one." "Okay." "Alright!" "We did it!" "Professor!" "A helicopter is on its way to pick us up." "Let's go!" "Are you okay?" "Yes!" "Naoko, are you alright?" "The elevators aren't working!" "We'll have to use the stairs!" "Right!" "Let's Go!" "Come on!" "Hello?" "It closes automatically whenever there's a tremor." "Damn!" "I know!" "The Super X?" "It's taking off now!" "CAPITAL CITY DEFENSE FIGHTERAIRCRAFT" " SUPERX" "Let me help!" "Cadmium shells, ready to fire!" "Roger!" "Fire flare guns!" "Fire!" "Fire cadmium shells!" "Fire!" "Fire!" "Fire left flare gun!" "Fire!" "Sir!" "We received a report from Zasimov!" "A nuclear missile was fired at Godzilla!" "The Soviets admit it was a mistake, but the missile will hit in thirty minutes!" "In thirty minutes, it will hit the Shinjuku district!" "Thirty minutes..." "How could this happen?" "A missile control unit on board a ship in Tokyo Bay was destroyed by Godzilla." "Under such circumstances, the missile fires automatically!" "What was the ship doing there?" "!" "Surely the missile can be stopped!" "They can explode it in outer space!" "No, not with their own missiles." "It's impossible!" "We cannot evacuate Shinjuku in thirty minutes!" "Of course we can!" "The subway!" "Tell the people to go to the subways for evacuation!" "Yes, sir!" "Foreign Minister..." "Yes, sir!" "Inform the Prime Minister immediately and assemble the cabinet." "I understand!" "Prime Minister, we have the orbit of the Russian missile." "This is the orbit from the attack satellite." "The Russians fired the missile 300 kilometers over Mexico." "Halfway, the missile will pass from the stratosphere into outer space." "It will then descend to strike Godzilla in the Shinjuku district of Japan." "Good job!" "Well done!" "Good job back there!" "Thank you!" "Stop!" "It's too dangerous!" "Stop!" "Don't come any closer!" "It's too dangerous!" "Professor, Godzilla is dead!" "No, not yet." "Not so easily." "We have to alert Mount Mahara." "This is an emergency announcement!" "A Soviet missile was accidentally fired at Godzilla!" "All in habitants of the Shinjuku district are to evacuate the city immediately!" "To repeat, all residents of the Shinjuku district must evacuate immediately!" "There is little time left..." "Seek shelter underground..." "Use subways, basements and under ground lots..." "Prime Minister, the Americans have agreed to help us!" "U.S. ARMED FORCES KADENAAIR BASE" "The Americans have launched their missile!" "It should hit in six minutes, about 70 kilometers over Tokyo." "Are you okay?" "Yes, I'm alright." "There!" "There they are!" "It's Okamura!" "Brother!" "Brother!" "Brother!" "Alright!" "Brother!" "Naoko!" "Okamura!" "Will a nuclear missile really hit there?" "The Americans have fired a missile to destroy it in the stratosphere!" "Good!" "That should work!" "There are strong air currents!" "Hurry!" "Naoko, you first!" "Professor, after you!" "Hurry professor!" "Professor!" "Professor!" "Professor!" "Are you okay?" "I'm alright!" "Naoko!" "Brother, help the professor." "Take this with you!" "Okamura, we have no time for this!" "Maki, take care of my sister." "Brother!" "Are you okay, Okamura?" "!" "the winds are too strong!" "I can't hold it steady!" "Prime Minister, the evacuation is in full gear!" "Two minutes to go!" "The professor is confident of the Americans but the missile is still heading for us." "Godzilla will wake up soon and the helicopter may not make it to the island in time." "Maybe we're all going to die." "The missile won't hit us, and they'll reach the island in time." "What's the matter with you?" "This isn't like you at all!" "I'm scared..." "You won't die." "they got it!" "Prime Minister!" "The unusual phenomenon you see is from the atomic blast in the stratosphere!" "The electromagnetic shockwaves extend for hundreds of miles!" "The rotors have stopped!" "The number two rockets are still online!" "Keep the ship balanced!" "Yes, sir!" "Can you make it work?" "Yes, sir!" "Alright!" "Commander!" "We're out of cadmium shells!" "All we have are regular shells!" "Well then, we'll have to use regular shells!" "Take off!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Help us!" "Hold the hose firmly!" "Alright!" "Alright!" "Come on!" "No!" "You can do it!" "Just don't look down!" "Are you alright?" "That damn bastard is..." "Run!" "Are you okay?" "See you later!" "Be careful!" "A briefcase!" "I'll take that!" "Just a moment!" "You don't have to get nasty!" "You idiot!" "Stupid idiot!" "Get down!" "Professor, is it responding?" "It's heading for Mount Mihara." "The professor has done it!" "I have to go, too." "Let's go together!" "The circuit is open again!" "Godzilla is heading towards Oshima Island!" "OUTER CRATER MILITARY BASE MT." "MIHARA" "Professor, Godzilla is coming this way."
