Mortal Combat! 5,000 Fathoms Under the Sea
Mom!
Dammit, I had that dream again. Why the hell am I still having it now?
Joe has been having nightmares.
His violent fits of tossing and turning are disturbing his sleep,
and he is completely exhausted physically.
As you know, there have been several fault earthquakes
along the Mariana Trench these past few years.
The International Science Organization has a deep sea lab at the Mariana Trench.
It is 10,000 meters directly below where we are now.
Teams of five technicians work there in one month shifts.
But we have not had any contact with them for one week.
Ken and Joe, I would like the two of you to investigate.
10,000 meters under the sea? I guess you can't get there in the God Phoenix.
There's no way. If we went below 2,000 meters, it would get crushed by the water pressure.
Anyway, I don't like this!
Of course Ken gets to go, but why does Joe get to dive with him?
I'm more of an expert on the ocean than he is!
If all you had to do is dive, even I could do that.
The problem is what happens after you get to the deep sea lab.
We don't know what happened at the deep sea lab.
You need to be quick-thinking and alert.
Are you trying to say that I don't think or move as fast as Joe?
Come on, you know you're not one of the quick ones.
You don't have to put it so bluntly...
Let's go, Joe.
Yeah...
What's wrong?
Oh, nothing, the light was just too bright.
Doctor, Joe doesn't look well.
Yeah...
Why don't I take his place? It won't matter that I weigh less, right?
No, in order to avoid any accidents, we'd better move ahead as planned.
The hatch is closed.
Dr. Nambu, the Marine Satan is prepared to dive.
Good! Let me say this just to be safe.
If something happens to the Marine Satan while you're diving, no matter what the situation,
abort the mission and return. Understood?
Also, we will be monitoring the Marine Saturn from this boat using underwater radar.
All right, I pray for your success.
Roger! Beginning dive!
Joe, if you're feeling bad, open the window. It will distract you.
Huh? Right...
What's the matter, Joe? Something's wrong with you today.
Huh? Right...
Ken, has this ever happened to you?
Where something from the past suddenly starts nagging at you again,
and almost drives you crazy?
Yeah, that's happened to me. But then my memories are very vivid,
since it wasn't very long ago I said goodbye to my dad.
That's not what I'm talking about.
It's not a perfectly clear memory like yours.
I mean something where you feel sick all of a sudden for no reason,
like when I felt dizzy just a minute ago.
What kind of memory is bothering you so much?
You must be tired. Get some sleep.
From here on let's take turns piloting in six hour shifts.
What is it, Jun?
An unidentified submarine has just passed above the Marine Satan.
What? The Marine Satan is diving along this spiral path,
but this other ship is diving straight down, ignoring the water pressure.
I wonder which country it belongs to?
No, there shouldn't be any submarines passing through this area right now.
I've finished exchanging data with the various countries.
So then, could it be a private leisure submarine?
It's too deep for that.
I wonder if it's Galactor?
No, I doubt it's them either. Galactor doesn't do anything unless they see a clear profit in it.
Even if they consolidated all the data the deep sea lab has gathered,
I can't imagine they'd find any valuable resources.
It's passing the Marine Satan.
What?
This is odd. There shouldn't be any countries that possess
a submersible which has even higher performance than the Marine Satan.
Maybe it is Galactor after all.
Doctor, should I order Ken and Joe to return?
But there's something strange about this...
Take a look. It's like the phantom submersible is ignoring the Marine Satan,
and heading straight for the trench.
Doesn't it seem like they don't even realize that the Marine Satan is there?
You're right! This is amazing!
The distance between them is getting bigger fast!
lt'd be best to warn them.
Jun, tell Ken about that phantom submersible.
And the mission?
Will continue.
Joe!
What's wrong with you, Joe?
That was a message from Dr. Nambu!
Sorry. That sound was making me have nightmares.
Sorry about that. Go ahead and get the message.
No, that's okay. I don't know what kind of nightmare you were having,
but from the looks of you, it would only drive you mad, and that's no joke.
Doctor, I'm not getting any response to my calls. It looks like they shut off the radio.
What?
I wonder if they had an accident or something?
No way...
Doctor!
I don't even know what kind of lives my mom and dad had.
But one thing I do remember is what happened that day.
It was the end of summer. My mom, my dad and I were at a resort.
The blue ocean glittered sometimes in the sunlight.
It was so quiet.
I'll never forget that day.
I was away from my parents, playing alone on the beach.
Joe!
Without even realizing what I was doing,
I grabbed the pistol that was in my dad's hands and aimed it at the masked woman.
Then what did you do? Did you fire the pistol?
I don't remember.
That's crazy. There's no way you could forget such an intense memory.
It's the truth.
She threw a red rose, and light scattered in front of me.
What happened after that? Did I shoot her? Why am I still alive?
All I remember is the light.
When I try to remember anything more, I feel so sick I feel like I'm going to throw up.
Light, huh? So that light is blocking your memories.
Just forget about it.
Sometimes, if you can get by without remembering something, that's for the best.
That goes for me too. There are times when I think it might have been better
if I had never found out that the captain of Red lmpulse was my dad.
Back then, my dad said,
"I thought it would be best for you if I left without telling you."
He was exactly right. We'd barely gotten to know each other,
and then I felt a pain that tore me up inside.
If I had never known, then I'd still have hope that my dad was alive somewhere.
Joe, if you're memory's gone, then I think you might be better off not trying to remember.
Captain! We're coming to a depth of 10,000 meters.
We'll be reaching the ISO's sea lab soon.
Captain, what are your orders?
Captain, the deep sea carrier has reached its destination.
Hey, wake up!
I apologize for my rudeness!
How pathetic! As of today you're a captain, you know!
You got a promotion, didn't you?
Yeah, I did.
It's been ten hard years since I joined Galactor,
and now I've finally become a Captain, huh?
Congratulations, Captain.
What a great feeling!
By the way Captain, our deep sea carrier has reached the ISO's deep sea lab.
What do we do now, Sir?
We have an important mission: kill Gatchaman of the Science Ninja Team.
What? There's no way we could pull off something so crazy!
Are you sure there isn't some mistake?
We have to do it. It's Lord Katse's orders.
He always gives us these outrageous orders,
but then as soon as he's in danger, he runs off and leaves us!
Even this deep sea carrier is a piece of junk
that's already been destroyed by the Science Ninja Team once!
Don't you think it was a poor present
to congratulate you on your promotion to Captain with?
Come to think of it, you're right.
Now I've lost my confidence...
You imbeciles!
What are you standing there gabbing for? I can hear every word you say!
You can shut up now, but the damage has already been done!
Listen up! We can't defeat the Science Ninja Team by direct attack.
Just continue with the plan, exactly as I told you.
But Lord Katse, are you sure Gatchaman will really come?
My information is never wrong.
You might even be the first men in Galactor to see who Gatchaman really is!
After all, even the International Science Organization
doesn't have a deep sea carrier that can dive straight to 10,000 meters!
So get yourselves together and do it!
I'm looking forward to this.
10,000 meters under the sea...
Gatchaman, you'll never see the surface again!
You're going to be sleeping deeply and silently this time!
Science Ninja Team Gatchaman
Gatchaman
Captain, this is strange. No one's here.
Impossible! According to what Lord Katse said,
there should be five International Science Organization technicians here.
As if anything he ever says is dependable.
Don't say anything stupid! Lord Katse will hear you again!
Five people will stay behind, including me.
The rest of the troops will move back to the deep sea carrier,
and move it without being detected by them.
Listen up! Our opponents are Gatchaman and Joe.
You won't be able to kill them unless you catch them with their guard down.
Okay, we're here.
Doesn't look like there's anything particularly wrong with the lab.
Let's go outside.
Need a hand?
No, I'm fine. Need a hand?
No, I'm fine.
You're not from the International Science Organization, are you?
Dr. Nambu asked us to come.
He was worried because he hadn't heard from you.
Dr. Nambu sent you? Oh, I see.
Actually, our communicator is broken.
Are you all right, Joe?
Joe? Then that means that one is Joe the Condor, and this one is Gatchaman.
What about the earthquakes? We were asked to bring you back with us.
Oh, is that right? We're grateful for that news.
The earthquakes have been particularly bad lately,
so it looks like we won't be able to safely do research here any more.
Please take our data and staff with you right away.
Ken, it's detecting something metallic.
Where?
Right, 35 degrees. Where?
Right, 35 degrees.
All right! Joe, close your eyes, I'm going to set off a flare.
It's a deep sea carrier!
What?
You realized too late, Gatchaman and Joe.
Bastard...
There's going to be a change in course.
Dock this submersible in that deep sea carrier!
What's this place?
A gas chamber.
You guys are going to be mummies before this carrier surfaces.
Gas chamber, huh?
Huh?
You bastard! You sure have sticky fingers, don't ya?
You're not gonna get away with this!
Joe, you stay and rest here.
I know this deep sea lab really well, so it's no big deal.
I finished off Gatchaman and Joe the Condor.
Now, cheers!
We'll have a little party in anticipation of when Lord Katse praises me for being successful!
Come on, fill it up!
Yes, Sir! Oh, dear...
What do you think you're doing? It goes in here in this glass!
Yes, Sir!
What are you doing, you clumsy oaf?
Captain, we have an emergency! The port ballast has been destroyed!
What did you say?
You idiots, hurry up and fix it,
or this deep sea carrier will never be able to surface again.
Huh?
That shadow...
Gatchaman!
Galactor, I'm the one who destroyed the ballast.
Now we both have a 50/50 chance of survival.
Come on! Don't just stand there huddled together! Fight!
But... How can you say that? Oh no, he's coming! He's coming!
Joe! We need to leave, fast!
This deep sea carrier is going to explode!
Joe!
Ken, get out of here. I can't do it.
My body's numb and I can't move.
Don't be stupid. How could I just leave you here?
I can't do it. I... This fire... This light...
What are you doing?
Joe, look at this fire! Take a good look at it!
Look at it, Joe! Somewhere in that fire is the reason for your nightmares!
Listen, Joe. If we die, we're doing it together.
I'm not leaving here until you come back to your senses.
This fire is blocking part of your memories.
Take a good look at it! You should be able to remember something!
This is what happens to anyone who betrays Galactor.
The sins of the parent are the sins of the child.
If you want to bear a grudge,
then go to Hell and bear it against your parents who betrayed Galactor!
How can this be?!
I'm ... I'm the son of members of Galactor.
Joe...
I'll bear a grudge against you for this, Ken. Why did you make me remember this?
You're the one...
You're the one who said I'd be happier not knowing, aren't you?!
Joe... You're... You're the son of someone from Galactor? Joe!
Let's go, Joe!
Joe, take a look at the battery. If we don't hurry, the Marine Satan will just sink.
Roger!
Man, this is a mess. The wires are chopped into pieces.
It settled down.
Yeah...
How about it, Joe? You saw those bright flashes and you were fine.
Huh?
What? Did you make me fix that just to see if I was feeling better?
Basically, the bad parts of your memory you didn't want to recall
were giving you pain and fits whenever you saw flashes of light.
Those are research submersibles from the plate tectonics lab.
They got sucked in by the Ghost Water.
If a ship runs into the boundary layer between warm and cold water,
no matter how much the ship spins its propellers, it won't go forward.
This phenomenon is known as "Ghost Water."
It is said to occur only above the flat parts of the deep sea floor.
I see, so they went out to investigate the fault earthquakes,
got sucked in by the Ghost Water, and couldn't get back to the lab.
As long as there isn't a natural change in the currents, they'll sleep like that forever.
Can't we even get close to them?
If we did, we'd just be turning this Marine Satan into a coffin too.
Doctor! I have a message from the Marine Satan!
What?
Ken, what happened? I've been worried. Why didn't you contact us before this?
My apologies. By the way, about the lab technicians...
I see... No, good work...
You can relax. Both Ken and Joe are fine.
I think they'll be surfacing soon.
Ken, there's one thing you forgot to report to the doctor.
What was that?
That I'm the son of someone from Galactor.
Stupid, you're one of the Science Ninja Team, G-2, Joe the Condor.
Listen Joe, all of us get lonely when we're alone and can't do a thing.
It's only when all five of us come together
that we become a mighty force, right?
The Science Ninja Team can't lose even one member.
You understand, right, Joe?
Ken...
Big brother!
Here they are!
Here, Joe.
Bright, isn't it? It hurts my eyes.
Ken decided to keep Joe's unexpected past to himself for a while.
The day is sure to come when Joe will tell the others everything himself.
Ken believed that that would be the day
when Galactor was obliterated from the face of the Earth.

All the information on the Gatchaman team
that was contained in the ISO's headquarters has been stolen by a Galactor spy.
Thanks to this, the spy found out not just the location of Crescent Coral Base,
but also the real identities of Gatchaman and the others.
Berg Katse is going to get his hands on this information at any moment.
Serious danger is heading for the Gatchaman team.
Next time on Science Ninja Team Gatchaman: "The Stolen Gatchaman Information" Look forward to it!
