"Are you sure he's going to come?" "Hope so." "Don't want to disappoint a big shot reporter like you." "I've really got to get some great pictures of him." "lo, do you read me?" "Roger, loud and clear." "Clockwise 1 8 degrees." "Okay." " What's that on the monitor?" " Density changes in the plasma." "Careful, lo." "It expresses voltage regulation." "What he means is that when a charge fluctuation occurs... the plasma above the earth's surface is induced to the ground." "The plasma and the tremor in the ground become linked." " ln short, a seismometer." " Plasma?" "You mean, like blood?" "You really are an imbecile." "Imbecile?" "In imbecile terms, if there is any fluctuation... that means Godzilla's in the area." "It's starting, isn't it?" "Yeah, right." "It seems so." "We still can't contact the Ocean Queen." "Is it possible something is interfering with their transmissions?" "Could be. I'll keep trying." "Over and out." "The damn teriyaki's cold again." "But as long as the beer is cold, who cares?" "If you clowns don't like it, there's plenty of other places... to eat around here, so shut up or get out." "If you're frightened, get down." "I'm okay, but aren't you worried about your daughter?" "No." "She worries about me." "Hang on." "No, too close." "Faster!" "Dad, come on!" "Let's go!" " Thank you for coming, sir." " Thank you." "Not everyone can be head of the CCl at 3 2." "Excuse me, sir." "It's about the meteorite." "Would you excuse me?" " They've reached it?" " Yes, sir." " How far down is it?" "Just under 900 fathoms." "Start surfacing procedures immediately." "The whole area's fogbound, sir." "We'll have to wait till tomorrow morning." "Come on!" "lo, keep that antenna steady!" " Does that help any?" " And I'm the imbecile?" "Touché." "So why don't you take some pictures?" "That's what you came here for, right?" "God must be punishing me for being ambitious." "All right." "You're sure you've still got film in the camera?" "Bite me!" "Look out!" "Godzilla!" "Look out!" "Godzilla!" "Incredible." "Looks like he's trying to destroy our energy sources." "Last surfacing unit is in position." "Depth: 5,300." "Right rudder 1 0 degrees." "Unbelievable!" "It's like a forest of volcanoes." "What's that?" "You promised you'd put me on hard news if I shot Godzilla at Nemuro!" "Now, come on!" "Did you look at these first?" "These negatives are as blank as your mind." "Godzilla's radiation fogged the film." "Next time, don't get so close." "Now, go and try again." "Not another joyride with those freaks." " Quit your bitching." " They're a pain in the ass." "Kimura, is that you?" " Shinoda here." " Yeah, go ahead." "About this data you just sent me." "Amazing, huh?" "The temperature of the water off Kinkazan... is up 38 degrees in the past two hours." "Excuse me. I'm looking for the Godzilla Prediction Network." " Oh, sure." " Yeah." "Down that hallway, take the first left." " Right?" " Okay." "Then when you get to the end, turn right." "Left, then right." "Got it." " Who told you to stop working?" " No one." " So you got it?" " Yeah." "First left, then right." " Right." "Got it." " Great." " Thanks." " What?" "If you wanna work with us, you have to join." "" Membership: 200,000 yen plus 50,000 a month"?" " What is this, the imbecile rate?" " We are like a collective." "We share the financial risk up front." "Then we profit from the information we acquire." "Look, I'm not interested in joining your little clubhouse, see?" "I just wanna take some more pictures, okay?" "You wanna take pictures, you'll have to become a member." " Hey, a little help here." " l'm in charge of the business end." "However, we do have an alternative plan." "Half off if you agree to share expenses." "The meteorite is highly magnetic." "The material could be the first step toward finding... a new and more efficient source of energy." "Excellent." "Any reduction in the use of fossil fuels... would be a real feather in CCl's cap." "All balloons ready." "Aqualift system, stand by." "Stand by to commence lifting." "Roger." "All ships commence lifting." "It's going up too fast!" "What the hell's happening?" "What the" "I don't hear the cabbage being chopped." " Supper's ready." " All right." "Thanks." "GPN Center." "Hold on, please." "It's outpost 2031 ." "That'll be Sonora." "I've been analyzing some new tremors." "And right now... it looks like he's moving south." "Let me give you a hand." "Spotted him again?" "Yeah." "Give me a push here." "There you go." "Geez, you stink." "No, your breath." " See you tomorrow." " Later, baby." "Bye." "Hello, it's Yuki." "You mean you know where he is?" " Thank you, sir." " Sharing expenses my ass!" "Well, I sure as hell ain't paying for gas." "Unit One, stand by." "Unit Two, cease drilling." "We've drilled several holes into the rock... but we keep hitting something solid, so we've stopped for now." "Give me a guess on its age." "The best estimate so far is 60, 7 0 million years." "What about its buoyancy?" "Well, possibly it's hollow." "And it did surface of its own will somehow." "Meaning what?" "It could be a vessel... from outer space." "Mr. Secretary, come in." "Katagiri." "Yes, of course." " l'm on my way." " Godzilla?" "They just spotted him moving south near Ibaraki." "You stay here for now." "New Godzilla reading." "He's moving inward toward Tokai." "The nuclear plants." "I knew it." "Afraid so." "Well, that's just lovely." "Another Chernobyl." "This is Katagiri of Crisis Control." "Godzilla is heading for Tokai as we speak." "Shut down all your reactors immediately." "Are you crazy?" "I don't have the authority." "You do now." "And as head of the Crisis Control Agency... I'm giving you authorization." "Now shut down those reactors!" "Red alert!" "Red alert!" "Shut down all reactors immediately!" "This is not a drill!" "Godzilla is headed for Tokai on the east coast of Ibaraki." "The government is holding an emergency cabinet meeting... and they're sending the army to the presumed landing spot." "Don't you think this is a little too close?" "I need to be as close as possible." "If you don't like it, go home and watch it on TV." " Katagiri didn't waste any time." " Katagiri?" "Deputy Secretary of the lnterior, head of the CCl." "Hello, Shinoda." "It's been a long time." "Not long enough." "I'd hoped never to see you again." "I know." "You and Miyasaka were a fine team." "You should've come with him when I established CCl." "Not in a thousand years." "I could never work for a man like you." "Why not?" "We both have the same goals." "Boy, that's a real laugh." "Godzilla needs to be studied." "He's a gold mine of knowledge." "But you couldn't care less." "You just want to kill him before we fully analyzed him." "And in the meantime, he just levels Tokyo." "Of course not." "That's why I created the Network." "He must be contained." "I realize that." "But it's worth the effort." "I'll tell you what." "Join the Network." "You might learn something." "Your Network's history." "I'll send flowers." "Shutting down the reactors isn't enough!" "You have to kill all energy sources!" "General Takada of the First Division." "I was told to report to you, sir." "Bastard." "You really think you can kill Godzilla?" "It's moving!" "Group Two in position and ready." "Over." "Roger, Group Two." "Stand by." "As we know from experience... when Godzilla is attacked he advances instead of retreats." "We can make use of his aggressiveness... by luring him to the mouth of the river." "And what happens once he gets there?" " The underwater mines will do the rest." " Mines?" "What about the safety of the local residents?" "Ah, yes." "Well, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed... but I can promise no more than 200, 300 tops." "I don't like it." "And if the mines fail to stop him, then what?" "We've developed an advanced new weapon... a new generation of armor-piercing missile." "It's so powerful, it can penetrate any known material." "I guarantee it'll go through Godzilla like crap through a goose." "So, what now?" "You and lo go to a safe distance." " What about you?" " l'm waiting for Godzilla." "Katagiri's determined to kill him." "That sound can mean only one thing" " Godzilla." "He's coming." "Get going!" "Locked on target." "Fire at will." "Wait till he gets closer." "Fire!" "All units, pull back!" "Missiles one, two and three, fire!" "I was right." "It's following the sun." "If it keeps" "Don't just stand there!" "Move the boat!" "Target in sight." "Engaging now." "A call for you, sir." " Katagiri." " It's Miyasaka." "The rock's gone!" "It just flew away!" "I picked this up for next to nothing." " Yuki will love it." " lf she's still speaking to you." "Holy crap!" "Did you see that flying rock go by?" "It's unbelievable!" "Therefore..." "Therefore... I'm convinced that this vessel comes from another galaxy." "A visitor from outer space?" "My God, it's just too crazy to believe." "Right." "Like Godzilla's normal." "Anyway, it's my theory that it draws its energy from light." "When it landed, it sank in the ocean where sunlight couldn't reach it." "Until yesterday, when the research sub... beamed its lights on it, and it woke up." "What we must know:" "is it dangerous to mankind?" "It's dangerous to Godzilla." "That's for sure." "I've never seen anything with that kind of power before." "But it's been inactive since the sun went down." "Maybe, but we can't take chances." "I want a full set of diagnostics." "If an alien is still alive in there... I wanna know more about it." "What about Godzilla?" "Nothing so far." "The air force is still sweeping the area." "I'm sorry." "This area is closed." "All units, keep 300 meters from target." "Sensors in scanning mode." "Stand by." "Over." "Begin sensor scanning." "I wonder what it's up to now." "You and me both." "I'd love to know what's in there." "I'd love to know about its power source." "It could be centuries before we came up with something close to this." "Hey, Professor, a call for you." "Yes, Miyasaka." "What?" "That was Shinoda." "He wants to see us." "He wants to use our equipment to examine a Godzilla skin sample." " Sir, any comment on the space ship?" " Not at the moment." "The minute we know something, we'll let you know." "Thank you." "Any idea when that will be, sir?" "Sir?" "Sir?" "So we're on a first name basis now, are we?" "Come with me." "I have to collect some materials... and you can get some photos, okay?" "Fine, but I'm still not paying for gas." " That's odd." " What?" "My laptop came on by itself." "You sure you didn't just leave it on?" " Yeah." " l wouldn't worry about it." "Come on." "To be blunt, you're the last man I'd ask for a favor." "And you think the sample's that important?" "I wouldn't have come here otherwise." "You can use the CCl equipment on two conditions." "You share all the data you found and you fully abide by our rules." "It's a deal." "Come on." "We're going back to Tokyo." "Some data was hacked from my computer... from the Godzilla file." "It doesn't make sense." "If the data's been read, the entire Network's at risk." "No kidding." "Better bring the yellow disk with you,just in case." "I have a ton of summer homework to do." "Are you gonna help me with it?" "Of course I will." "Okay, see you in half an hour." "These are photos of the Godzilla skin sample I found in Tokai." "The first one shows clear signs of scar damage... but the second one is completely clear." "Same piece of skin?" "Yeah." "The photos were taken only five hours apart." "That's a remarkable healing speed." "Look." "Every layer of skin, every cell, every blood vessel" "They're all intact." "What a creature." "It's invincible!" "The question is, how can all these cells regenerate?" "Maybe it has something to do with his radioactive properties." " Let's try the electron microscope." " Okay." "Look at that." "How does he manage to regenerate his cells so quickly?" "Cell recovery and reformation." "Even with the simplest life-forms, we've never been able to do that." "It's like watching the process of creation." "In a way, we're its godparents." "You discovered it." "You ought to name it." "You really think so?" "Regenerator G1 ." " The clouds are clearing, sir." " Yes, I know." "But that thing's tied down with electromagnetic cables." "Even if it wakes up, it's not going anywhere." "If Regenerator G1 is the secret of Godzilla's healing ability... then we're on to something monumental." "It could revolutionize modern medicine." "If we could find a way to use it for humans." "You know, Godzilla could be full of such discoveries." "I feel like we're back together at the university." "Why did you resign?" "I couldn't take it anymore." "It had gotten too unethical." "We were doing the research for all the wrong reasons." "Come in." "Excuse me, sir." "There's an lo Shinoda here to see you." "Did you bring them?" "Those things were unbreakable!" "Are you up to your tricks again?" "I couldn't let them destroy our Network." "But they'll find out soon enough." "They're your own disks, right?" " Do we run?" " Yeah." "The UFO just flew away again!" "How could it still be alive after so long?" "It must have been in suspended animation." "I just can't conceive of any life-form... that could survive for 60 million years." "Good Lord." "I just hope it's friendly." "All six crew members perished in the attack." "What alien space vessel?" " Great Caesar's ghost!" " What is it?" "Everybody, get out!" "No!" "I gotta get some pictures!" "No time, sister!" "Let's get out of here!" "Stop pulling me!" " What the hell's the matter with you?" " lt's the scoop of the century!" "Close off all streets around City Tower." " Evacuate everyone in there, now!" " Right away, sir." "Go, go, go!" "Come on, baby!" "Let's go!" "Move, move, move!" "Let's go, soldier!" "On the double!" "Move it!" "Now that we know it's hostile... we must do whatever we can to destroy it quickly." "Thank God it's going to be dark soon." "That gives us a few hours to plan a course of action." "What's tomorrow's forecast?" "Sunny and clear." "We can't wait till then." "We've got to destroy that thing tonight." "When's it gonna do something?" "Yeah, we've been waiting all day!" "The alien vessel remains motionless atop the city tower." "But where is Godzilla?" "That is the question." "As you can see, all traffic and transport facilities... to this district are halted." "The area around the city tower is completely blocked off, a no-go zone." "On the premises of the city tower, still waiting for what we consider" "This really is incredible." "It's like a scene from an old sci-fi movie." "The giant flying saucer appeared in the sky above Tokyo... and is perched atop City Tower... completely immobile, looking down on us, as if to challenge mankind... for rulership of this planet." "Again?" "Why does this keep happening?" "All computers in the Shinjuku district have gone down, sir." " lsolate our main computer." " Yes, sir." "Sir, the anti-hacking program has crashed too!" "And the main computer at KDL has also gone down!" "What the hell is this?" " Try the infrared filter." " Yes, sir." "I'll be damned." "It's hacking City Tower's supercomputer." "It'll soak up every last bit of data!" "Use the linkage tracer to visualize the access route." "Mr. Secretary." "At this rate, all oftokyo's data could be gone in a few hours." "I can't believe it." "This could be the end of our civilization." "You really call this civilization?" "Anything we don't understand we try to destroy." "And CCl-- ground zero for that kind of lunacy." "We're all gonna die, and I'm part of the reason!" "Aren't I?" " Engineers have just left, sir." " Good." "How long do you need to set up the bombs?" " Half hour, tops." " And to pull out?" "Ten minutes." "That ought to be plenty." "Well, it's about time I got through." " Yuki?" " Yeah." "Guess where I am." "In a few minutes, I should know what they're after." "Now listen!" "Get out of there immediately!" "You hear me?" " Katagiri's up to something." " Are you crazy?" "No way I'm gonna leave now." "We gotta know why they're interested in Godzilla." "I'll call you back later." "Are you there?" "Yuki!" "I'm going to strangle that imbecile." "We're on the 51 st floor." "Bomb's moving into place." "Hey, stop!" "Let us go!" "Please!" "My mommy's in the tower!" "We have to save her!" "Listen to me." "Her mother's in the building." "Understand?" "Let us through!" " You can't go in, Professor." " Why not?" "The whole place is gonna blow in ten minutes." " What?" " Katagiri's orders." "Come on!" " Come on!" "We got to get out!" "Now!" " l think I know what the aliens want." "There's no more time." "The whole building's coming down in ten minutes!" " Go on." "Move!" " What about you?" "I can do this faster than you." "Go find a guard and ask him to tell Katagiri to postpone the blast." "Hurry up!" "Dad, don't be too long, okay?" "I promise, sweetie." "All right." "Here we go." "Bomb's in place." "All units pulling out now." "Detonation at 21 :1 0 precisely." "Check." "Detonation at 21 :1 0." "All units." "Detonation at 21 :1 0." " Radio." " Sir." "Two people are still inside the tower, sir." "Who gave them access?" "I did, sir." "Clear the area immediately." "No delays." "Come back!" " Stop." " Yes, sir." "Don't blow up the building yet!" "My dad's on the 48th floor!" "Contact Katagiri and tell him to delay the blast!" "There's still a man in the building." "Postpone the detonation." "Proceed as instructed." "It's Shinoda in there, sir." "Looks like I'm gonna have to send more flowers." "Too late." "We gotta go." "Follow me." " Daddy!" " lo, wait!" "Let me go!" "I've gotta save him!" "No, it's too late." "You can't go in there." "Don't do it!" "It's a dead end." "I hear something." "Daddy!" "Nice try, asshole." "See here?" "They want to change our atmosphere... to make it more suitable to their living conditions." "They want to build their own empire on Earth." "But they need more information." "Look at this." "Why are they so interested in Godzilla?" "Give me your pin box, lo." "I don't get it." "Something without form... can take on another one." "Regenerator G1 ?" "Godzilla's entered the bay." "What if we just shut down all the electrical generators?" "If there's no power, maybe he'll just go away." " No, it's no use." " l think Shinoda's right." "There's only one thing on Godzilla's mind right now." "Look!" "What's that?" "The tentacles again!" "Look at that." "It's Regenerator G1 ." "What's going on?" "It's Regenerator G1 ." "He's using it to adapt to our atmosphere." "Get the fire extinguishers!" "Hurry!" "Look at that." "It's trying to become a Godzilla clone." "Boy, that's ironic." "It woke up after 60 million years... and then Godzilla destroyed it the very next day." "Yeah." "Godzilla's coming!" " Look out!" " Run!" "Get out of here!" "Hurry!" "Come on!" "Run!" "I've never seen Godzilla this close before." " Come on!" " Leave me!" "Daddy!" "Godzilla!" "We scientists produced this monster." "Godzilla." "And ever since... we've tried to destroy him." "But then why?" "Why does he keep protecting us?" "Maybe because..." "Godzilla is inside each one of us."
