Katz disapproved of the fact that Amuro refused to fight.
He got in the Gundam Mk. II and tried to face Rosamia Badam's Gaplant alone.
However, he could have ended up dead had Char and Kamille not come to assist him.
Through the Haze of Darkness
We have transmission from the relay station! Standby to copy.
Decryption code 22.
Should the enemy proceed to fly over the Pacific, cancel pursuit.
- Your ship shall return to Kennedy...! - That's enough!
Their plan is to make the Audhumla cross the Pacific...
...and shoot them down from the Titans' New Guinea base!
I know they've taken over Kennedy...
...but I'm not about to have some Titans newcomer get all the credit!
Major.
Will you change the message in the communication capsule?
I'll do that.
Tell the Murasame Laboratory in Japan to watch for activities in New Guinea.
Use the Newtype Laboratory's encoding system.
So that the Titans will be unable to decipher it.
Yes, sir!
Captain Wooder.
How many mobile suits can we send out right now?
Six Hizacks and one Asshimar, sir!
- Send out the capsule! - Yes, sir!
Will you be guiding us to Hickory?
That's precisely why I came here.
We've got to use this fog and get at least...
...Kamille and Lieutenant Quattro back to space.
That's a responsibility of Karaba, right?
But you dislike fighting, don't you?
Naturally, I hate wars.
But that's different from fighting when one must fight.
You despise me, don't you?
I'm not that thickheaded.
For Amuro Ray, those seven years were a period of sleep.
The body must be cared for, both physically and mentally.
All you need to do is wake up.
Then things will return to the way they were.
I don't have the confidence.
You did in the past what Kamille is doing now, right?
That's true, but...!
Beltorchika!
If you're feeling pity for me, forget it!
As I said, I'm not that thickheaded.
If a woman can rouse a man to activity by simply caressing him...
...then a woman will.
Do you know why?
To test the man, right?
That's right.
Because she wants the man to be suitable for her.
But once she finds that he's not, she'll dump him.
There's no time for sympathy.
You said you lost your parents during the previous war.
I'm a war orphan.
I'm the one who wants sympathy.
Sorry.
We'll send Kamille and Lieutenant Quattro back to space.
I might easily forget.
I don't mind.
Miss Beltorchika, Director Hayato would like to see you.
Thank you.
I don't like that person.
Could you leave a mobile suit behind?
Why's that?
Do you need a reason?
Sorry, but Kamille's a lot more accustomed to the Mk. II. I cannot leave that behind.
The Rick Dias would be fine.
That model's developed by the A. E. U. G. Leaving that behind's out of the question.
You don't trust me, do you?
- Karaba won't be able to make use of it. - I'll make them.
The final battle between the A. E. U. G. and Titans will take place in space.
Why don't you...
Why don't you join us up in space?
I'd rather not.
I'm terrified by that sense of no gravity.
You're terrified to see Lalah, aren't you?
You believe you'll never meet someone who has already passed away...
...but deep inside somewhere, you believe you will.
That's what scares you.
No.
During one's lifetime, there are things one should do.
And doing those things is the best tribute to those who have died.
Stop talking!
Char!
Lalah!
Damn!
Look at this!
This would make anyone angry, not just your father.
I'm sorry.
You can't take me with you to space now, can you?
We'll make it possible.
Katz!
You're not planning to take off without permission again, are you?
That never crossed my mind!
I just felt I should help in anyway that I can.
Kamille, bring down the crane!
Yes, sir!
I got permission from your father.
What?! Really?!
Then I get to go to space, too?!
But I'm not going to be easy on you!
Of course not!
- That's great! - Yes! Thank you very much!
What's wrong?
How about my father? What does he plan to do?
He can't exactly ignore the task of retaliating against the Titans.
No, sir.
And he needs to be reachable for your mother and siblings' sake.
We'll make contact with Hickory.
Right!
Amuro?
The clouds are thick along the coastline, as always.
Anything?
No change in the amount of Minovsky particles.
We'll use the fog as cover and arrive at Hickory as scheduled.
Yes, sir!
But will we really be able to see Hickory?
The pigeon Beltorchika let go should arrive at any time.
We should see a signal.
Now, that's a good bird.
No change in the plan. Two mobile suits.
Light fires along the runway and send up flares!
Yes, sir!
No changes in plans to dock with the Argama, are there?
No! This shuttle is capable of orbit adjustments, so there won't be a problem!
Light fires along the runway! Take up air defense positions!
Have I lost the bet with you, Captain?
Of course.
The Audhumla will be sending pilots to space from somewhere around here.
There's no mistake! I've confirmed it twice!
Okay, we'll descend!
Want to descend in my mobile suit?
Yes!
Beltorchika!
I'll go to Hickory on Mr. Amuro's Rick Dias.
Go ahead.
Thank you very much.
You'd be a great help if we can descend together.
I can at least back you up.
Amuro!
I'll ride with you down to Hickory!
Sure, that'll be fine!
- Please guide us there! - Sure!
Opening hatch!
Beltorchika, take off when you see the next flash!
Roger!
Don't get your foot caught in the linear seat's armrest.
Okay.
Why didn't you ride with the Lieutenant?
I was happy to see that you decided to ride a mobile suit, Mr. Amuro.
I hear Mr. Bright is on the Argama that will be picking us up...
...so I want to tell him properly.
Did you see that flash directly below us?!
I sure did! Have the mobile suit unit prepare for take-off!
Lower altitude!
The time has come.
Okay, Katz?
You do as Lieutenant Quattro tells you.
- Take good care of Mother for me. - You don't have to tell me that!
Amuro, make sure you don't get Katz hurt!
Roger!
Lieutenant Quattro.
Please take good care of him.
I think being a father figure will prove to be a worthwhile experience for me.
I'm totally thrilled to do so.
- I hope it proves to be worthwhile! - Thank you!
Okay!
- Feeling okay? - I'm okay.
The enemy!
Enemy?!
They haven't noticed us yet.
Shouldn't we let Lieutenant Quattro know?!
If you want to go to space, keep quiet!
I can see the runway!
In a place like this?
Lieutenant Quattro! I'm landing!
Go ahead!
It looks like Amuro's Rick Dias is lost.
It's a Hyaku Shiki and Gundam!
That's strange. Where's Amuro?
Lieutenant Quattro!
I'm Quattro Bajeena! Sorry to put you through the trouble!
Welcome to Hickory!
Please hurry and load your mobile suits onto the shuttle!
We'd also like to load a Rick Dias. Can we get that onto the shuttle, too?
The Hyaku Shiki is the A. E. U. G.'s newly produced mobile suit!
The Argama's orders are to return that at any cost!
- The Argama's orders? - Yes!
They've found us!
- Descend! But no closer to Hickory! - Right!
It's only a matter of time!
The fact that they're not sending mobile suits out...
...is perhaps a sign that they've already unloaded them.
- Are you okay? - Don't worry about me. Just get them!
- All right! - That was luck!
It's coming!
Come out front! Grab onto my knee!
- Where's the Audhumla? - It's keeping a distance from Hickory.
Can't we get our mobile suits out?!
Two units launching now.
Send unmanned units out on Dodais! They'll act as decoys!
I'll leave you in charge here!
- Where to?! - To the mobile suit deck!
Hurry with the Gundam, too! What's the delay?!
It's not time yet, is it?!
We have less than five minutes! Load the Gundam!
There's one more person we want to send to space!
I'll go get him!
Lieutenant Quattro!
Should anything happen, at least take the Hyaku Shiki back to space!
- Dislodge the joints! - Can't do that!
Over there?
They should be commencing countdown anytime now.
But Amuro's battling with Katz still on board.
The Rick Dias?!
Amuro!
How the...?!
Go down!
I-I'm falling!
Why haven't you landed?!
Katz is still aboard with you, right?!
The countdown should be starting now! What are you going to do?!
Forget about it, Amuro.
Nonsense!
There's still time!
There should be about four or five minutes!
Where's Hickory?!
To your left, below!
There?
A farewell gift. I'm sure it'll come in handy.
Amuro.
I used this gun to exchange shots against Zeon's Char...
...during the One Year War.
But this must be very valuable to you.
You want to be a pilot, right?
Yes.
Amuro!
Has Kamille been detected by the Sudori?!
Considering this fog, he should be okay!
Please take Katz!
I don't want to give Hayato another reason to laugh at me!
All is for naught if the shuttle gets blown up!
I'll protect it!
As for you, I'm sure you have a million things to do in outer space, Lt. Quattro!
But we still need to get Kamille on board.
Katz!
Lieutenant Quattro, you're extremely important to the A. E. U. G.
Amuro! Please protect the shuttle!
Hurry! To the cockpit!
Watch out, it might go off, since I'm not used to holding one!
Very well.
We'll count on Kamille and Amuro to protect the shuttle.
How obedient.
If you send it out directly, it'll hit the enemy!
Don't take them lightly just because they're unmanned!
Please, get at least one!
Is the Audhumla under attack?
Yes, but only against a few.
These old shuttles pull a lot of Gs.
I know!
Guns won't fire with the safety catch on.
All we can do now is pray to the heavens.
Take good care of that gun.
Yes.
Countdown, 180!
- Aren't you scared? - No!
I'm scared.
I'd rather be moving about. It's a lot less scary.
That's not Beltorchika!
Gotcha, Gundam!
Go down!
It's the end of the road for you.
At times like this, the Asshimar is the better bet for its superior mobility!
Kamille! Stay focused!
Can you hear me?!
Mr. Amuro? Where's Katz?!
I'm returning him to space!
You're not going to make it!
Remain by my side until your next chance!
Roger that!
The enemy before us is very dangerous!
Beltorchika must be headed for the Audhumla!
How could he think of a woman at a time like this?
Kamille! Ahead of you, slightly below! Use your bazooka!
Where is it?! I can't see it!
Fire!
You won't hit me!
A bit lower!
We've received the Argama's laser transmission.
They're responding.
Tell Lieutenant Quattro that Karaba will put the Rick Dias and Mk. II to good use!
Roger!
Countdown, 95!
The Audhumla?!
Oh no!
The countdown should've started by now!
Just a bit longer. Kamille!
Where are the others?
He's severed just the backpack!
Amuro Ray did?!
Beltorchika! Proceed onto the Audhumla! You're in the way!
- Retrieve the Comet! - Yes, sir!
Descend as soon as we retrieve her!
- We'll head out to the ocean! - Yes, sir!
Is that it?!
Was that Dodai a decoy?
You're even sending these out?
I hit the cockpit!
Is it the Rick Dias?!
Pay attention to your back, too!
Kamille Bidan. He's not going to make it.
No, but like you, he will eventually return.
Mr. Amuro! It's impossible! We're practically skimming the ground!
The enemy's lost some of its power!
Press him! Watch!
The Asshimar's flying abilities won't be bothered by this!
Not by this!
Kamille! Fire!
Kamille! Escape!
I'm taking you with me!
He's got me!
We're lifting off!
My Asshimar!
Where's Amuro's Rick Dias?!
It's all right. Hickory's crew has rescued him.
Mr. Amuro... is okay, isn't he?
He's quite a guy.
I saw it, too.
I have to change my opinion of him.
Yes, you may have to.
Amuro Ray has awoken from his long sleep.
I dislike frightened men, but war-like men are just as bad.
I'd like to believe that he's a Newtype.
- Same here. - He's here!
Amuro! Amuro!
Thank you, Beltorchika.
There's nothing to cry about.
But... But, Amuro...!
Kamille, I apologize.
I should be thanking you.
Captain Amuro Ray.
No problem.
Hey, information from Kai?
Yes, but we can't relay messages any more...
...so you'd be wise to depart from the American continent.
I agree.
Have you contacted Luio & Company in Hong Kong?
We can't from Hickory.
I understand. We'll do it ourselves.
- Thank you. - I'll excuse myself.
It's from Kai.
Shall I open it?
Please.
Outer space.
I wonder how Fa's doing?
The mobile suit departing from Japan is a new enemy.
Its pilot is Four Murasame.
Amuro soon realizes that Four is unlike any enemy in the past.
Meanwhile, he has a reunion with Mirai and her children.
And he finds himself annoyed with Kamille's fighting style.
Next on Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, "Hong Kong City".
Hong Kong City
You will see the tears of time.
