THE RETURN OF GODZILLA
"Daikoku Island, southern tip of the Izu Island Chain"
"Three months after the Daikoku eruption"
Hey. You all right?
I'm fine.
It's no good, Captain.
The helm won't budge. Something's strange about this tide.
What?
Don't be dumb.
These waves aren't enough to...
We're heading to the islet!
This is the Yahata-Maru.
I repeat, the Yahata-Maru. Our ship... is in danger of wrecking!
Current position: west of Diakoku Island.
This is a news update.
Turbulent waves from a low-pressure system last night caused several vessels to run aground,
Hey!
And an investigation by the Japan Coast Guard revealed that the number is expected to increase.
Is anyone on board?
One of the suspected missing is a 77-ton fishing
vessel Yahata-Maru, registered in the Misaki harbor.
"Yahata-Maru"
The vessel lost radio contact while sailing near Daikoku Island.
Its whereabouts is currently unknown.
He's alive. He's still alive!
Student ID Dept. of Science Electrical Engineering Division Hiroshi Okumura
It was... a monster.
The island suddenly rose up...
like an enormous rock...
Except it was alive.
Hold on a minute.
Was it like that sea louse just now? Or something else?
I saw something else...
The monster was shimmering in blue light.
And it roared...
Did you get a good look at it?
It was so huge...
I couldn't see all of it from the bridge.
This is Maritime Security!
We're saved!
This is Maritime Security!
Hey!
We will now initiate rescue procedures.
Hey!
Please do as you are instructed by our crew.
"Oshima, Izu"
"Tohto Times"
Do you think I made it up? Stop kidding me!
Listen to me, Editor,
that's what the survivor told me! He saw a gigantic monster,
a monster sea louse as well as nine mummified bodies.
They are the evidence!
Editor,
this is headline news! Please understand how serious this is.
Okay, fine. I'll be there with the negatives soon. Okay.
He doesn't trust me at all.
I wouldn't believe in some "giant creature" either.
Honesty, neither did I at first. Okay, take care.
"Kanto No. 2 Police Hospital"
Professor Hayashida!
Okumura-kun.
You saw a monster?
Yes, I did.
Professor...,
since being rescued,
I've told the Maritime Security, the police,
and the people here over and over again.
Why does nobody believe me?
Naturally. No one would believe it.
The entire crew was killed...
and I'm the only one left.
This "monster" that he saw was... Godzilla.
Godzilla?
I know Okumura-kun well. He's a trustworthy man.
Head of the Cabinet Research Office Noboru Watanabe
Having said that, even I couldn't believe it.
Besides, how can we explain the corpses found on the Yahata-Maru?
Their blood and bodily fluids were drained by a giant sea louse.
As for why an insect that should only be a few centimeters was that big...
it's because it fed on Godzilla.
It probably reached that size by being continually
bathed in the radiation that Godzilla emits from within.
Why do you think Godzilla would suddenly appeared?
Three months ago,
there was a large-scale volcanic eruption on Daikoku Island
causing a series of violent tectonic activity
awakening Godzilla to rise to the surface.
"Official Residence of the Prime Minister"
Godzilla?
Cabinet Prime Minister Seiki Mitamura
I was hoping to finish out my term without incident.
But, Mr. Prime Minister,
Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirotaka Takegami
Just because Godzilla is still out there,
it doesn't mean that Japan will be under threat.
This is true, but...
- Takegami-kun. - Sir?
We'd better treat this as strictly confidential.
"Tohto Times"
- They say it's pretty popular now. - Your noodles are ready.
- Thank you. - Where shall I put it?
Sir.
Thank you. Appreciate it.
Huh? What gives, Maki-chan?
This is unexpected. Maki-ch... Huh?
Editor. Why was this story dropped?
I want to hear a reason.
Something's come up. Let's go see the Editor-in-Chief.
"Editor-in-Chief's Office"
The official line of the Maritime Security Agency and the police...
is that the Yahata-Maru, with Okumura-kun and nine others aboard, is still missing.
What does that mean?
The government is well aware the monster exists.
But why keep it a secret?
The monster is... Godzilla.
Godzilla?
I knew it.
Let's suppose, Maki-kun, we do print your story,
it would plunge the whole country into uncontrollable panic.
The stock market would collapse. The cabinet would be out of power.
For better or worse, just you keep it to yourself.
I see. The government orders and you just obey.
It's a question of time and now's not the time.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Takegami has given us permission
to reach out to Makoto Hayashida, a professor of bioscience.
Hayashida?
Excuse me. Are you Professor Hayashida?
Who are you?
I'm Maki from the Tohto Times.
You, huh?
I heard about your story.
What are you researching?
Genetic recombination of the common vinegar fly.
Flies... Genetic combination...
What does that have to do with Godzilla?
I understand you lost your parents in Godzilla's attack 30 years ago.
So then, your initial motive in studying Godzilla was out of hatred or revenge?
At first, yes, but now...
Professor,
is Godzilla an animal?
A beast created through radiation? A monster?
That seems to be the general consensus.
It was man that created that "monster."
Mankind is far more monstrous.
Godzilla could be said to be a nuclear weapon.
Nuclear weapon?
A living one.
It does as it pleases and continually destroys.
What's more, rumor has it Godzilla is immortal.
So then, we just give up?
I didn't say that.
Godzilla is an animal. That much is certain.
Excuse me.
Do you know her?
Um, yes.
What is she to Okumura-kun?
His younger sister.
His sister?
Has she seen Okumura, then?
No, not yet.
She hasn't even been told he's been rescued.
Government's orders.
By the way, Professor, you've seen Okumura-kun, haven't you?
Is he still in the hospital?
Ah, thank you for earlier.
How do you happen to know Professor Hayashida?
I'm his student in the university.
I'm a part-time assistant in this research institute.
So...are you Okumura's sister?
Yes. Are you a friend of his?
That's right. Sorry, but what's your name?
Naoko.
Naoko-san, you must be worried about your brother.
Do you have any other family?
He's the only family I have.
He works a few months a year on a fishing boat, knowing it will set him back in school.
He does it to pay for my tuition and part of my living expenses.
It's unforgivable that the government...
shouldn't even let his sister know... that he's alive.
My brother is alive?
He's being confined somewhere.
Confined...?
Why?
Because he saw Godzilla.
The government fears a panic, so they're keeping your brother confined.
They've imposed a media blackout.
They ignore the feelings of Okumura's family for the sake of national security.
That's why I have to tell you the truth.
Maki-san!
He's at No. 2 Police Hospital.
Thank you.
Please! Let me see him!
- No visitors allowed. - I don't care!
- Hey, wait! - Please!
Wait there!
- Let go! - You can't!
- Let go of me! - Wait right there!
- Naoko! - Wait!
Brother!
I'm sorry for making you worry.
Thank goodness.
Naoko.
Stop it!
- Hey! - I missed it.
This is a scoop! Just one more shot!
It's a moving scene, right? Please smile!
- Stop it! - That hurts! Let go!
We have permission from the Cabinet.
See? Jeez, come on!
All right, that's good. Okay.
Got it.
We won't publish this. Not now, at least.
"Soviet Nuclear-Powered Ballistic Missile Submarine"
Depth: 300 meters.
Distance: 3 nautical miles
Course: 12 degrees.
It's coming at increased speed!
It's nearly to our depth and approaching from the starboard bow! This is an attack!
Run an acoustic signature analysis, now!
It's not one of ours, but not an enemy!
There's no propeller noise.
We do not detect any engine noise.
Distance: 2.5 nautical miles.
Speed: 40 knots.
The enemy is emitting active sonar!
I don't get it. Is it a whale?
Whales don't have active sonar.
Then it must be an American nuclear attack submarine, a Los Angeles-class.
Distance: 2 nautical miles. Course: 12 degrees.
We are going to crash!
Prepare torpedoes for launch!
Fire torpedo No. 1!
Fire torpedo No. 2!
Emergency dive! Take us down to 400 meters!
Torpedo 1 was a direct hit!
Torpedo 2 was a direct hit!
The enemy isn't returning torpedo fire.
If this enemy wants to sink our sub,
he should be prepared for all-out nuclear conflict.
Captain!
The enemy is heading towards us!
Distance: 100 meters. It's right above us!
Keep diving!
"Depth"
The enemy...
it's still above us.
We've got a leak on the starboard side!
Both propellers, full speed ahead!
Full speed ahead!
Foreign Minister Seiichi Emori
Prime Minister, we have a problem.
The Soviet Foreign Embassy has reported that one of its nuclear subs was sunk,
south of Hachijo Island and fifty kilometers north of Aogashima.
They're asserting it was an attack by an American nuclear vessel.
The Americans? Have they admitted to the attack?
The State Department is denying it.
We received an emergency message from our Embassy in Moscow
The Soviets have have entered a full-scale red alert against America and NATO.
According to Eastern European news sources,
the entire Soviet military has already been ordered
to a state of alertness alongside the Warsaw Pact armies,
so that it can move to combat status at any time.
Meanwhile, both the American military and the NATO Armed Forces
have responded by moving to a clear state of high alert,
with the situation becoming increasingly strained.
This is...
Five minutes after the mayday call,
a P-3C anti-submarine patrol aircraft
took there photographs near this this spot where the russian submarine sank.
I couldn't believe it at first either.
Mr. Chief Cabinet Secretary. Call the U.S. and Soviet ambassadors at once.
Sir.
Also...
we're going to release everything we know about Godzilla.
Recently, tensions between the U.S. and the Soviets exculated,
but the results of our investigation have proved
that America had no involvement at all with
the sinking of the Soviet nuclear submarine.
Thus, we've managed to avoid conflict between U.S. and Soviet armed forces.
The Soviet nuclear sub was sunk after having been attacked by Godzilla.
This fact was learned via a Japanese P-3C anti-submarine patrol aircraft...
and confirmed through photos revealing beneath the ocean's surface.
Hey, what the heck?!
It's confirmed.
Godzilla still exists.
This was also confirmed through the testimony of Hiroshi Okumura,
who miraculously survived despite being aboard the fishing boat Yahata-Maru,
with which we lost contact on the 19th of this
month in the waters around Daikoku Island.
As a survivor...
...the one thing I can do...
...for my crewmates...
...is to continue to vent my rage...
...and hatred toward Godzilla.
There's no way I can forgive that creature for what it's done.
It's unforgivable!
Hey! Hold it!
"Godzilla Lives!"
"Godzilla Sinks Nuclear Submarine!"
"Will Godzilla Attack Japan?"
"Godzilla Has Returned!"
"A Miraculous Return, A Tearful Reunion!"
"I Always Believed my Brother was Alive! He Alone Escaped Godzilla"
Professor.
Where's Naoko-san?
Dammit!
Everyone is crazy...
because of Godzilla!
You might be a good journalist...
But...
I was wrong about you.
"Godzilla Emergency Countermeasures HQ"
Assemble the navy, the army and the air force
and launch the counterattack against Godzilla.
This concludes the explanation.
Mr. Chairman.
Does the JSDF currently have enough firepower to beat that creature?
I believe we do.
Still, is there a weapon that can stand up to its heat ray?
We Do.
The Super-X.
"Super-X"?
It was developed in secret, for national defense.
Armored with titanium.
Its integrated circuitry makes extensive use of rare platinum.
It was designed to withstand extremely high temperatures.
What's more, as part of our Godzilla countermeasures,
we're rushing to equip it with cadmium cannons.
Cadmium can control nuclear reactions within atomic reactors.
We're certain it will be effective against Godzilla.
Simply put,
it's a flying fortress.
This giant outline is Godzilla.
It's probably eighty meters tall.
Will it come to Japan?
That's the problem.
Godzilla seeks out radioactive material as an energy source.
That's why it attacked the nuclear sub.
This is the island where you spotted Godzilla...
And this is where the sub was attacked.
That's pretty far from the mainland, huh?
But it will return.
There's no doubt about it.
We have what it needs here.
In a collective effort,
the entire country prepares itself against Godzilla
Godzilla...
Go-Godzilla!
"Shizuoka Prefecture - Ihama Nuclear Power Plant"
It's Godzilla!
Hurry!
"Ground Self-Defense Force"
Mr. Prime Minister, due to the dense fog, we failed to detect Godzilla in time.
- Keep filming. - Okay!
That's the core of the nuclear reactor.
"Radioactivity Indicator"
Godzilla has absorbed the core's energy.
That monster!
"Godzilla Breaks through Defense Net, Attacks Ihama Nuclear Plant!"
"Dark Terror within the Dense Fog!! Nuclear Facility Destroyed"
"Godzilla Absorbs Radiation and Returns to the Sea"
"Fears Mount of a Return to Japanese Soil"
Ah, thanks.
Maki-kun.
Okumura-kun.
I've theorized that the ancient dinosaurs had a homing instinct...
and now we finally have proof.
So, Godzilla has that same instinct?
This area is magnetic.
It's like a radar that responds to the axis of the earth.
It's the same as with migratory birds.
Birds?
I'm sorry...
I've been thinking about why Godzilla suddenly went back
to the ocean after that incident at the nuclear plant.
He drank up all that radiation till he'd had his fill, right?
Professor.
Migratory birds...
It was right when that noisy flock of birds headed for the ocean
that Godzilla acted as if he was following them.
That's how it seemed to me.
I'm sure you're right.
Godzilla was chasing after that flock.
Godzilla's "magnetic area" reacted to those birds.
Great.
We can figure a way to use it against it.
- Okumura-kun. - Professor!
I have an old friend, a geologist named Minami.
Please meet with him and go to Mount Mihara.
Professor.
"Mount Mihara, Oshima"
Hello, Hayashida Bioscience Institute.
Oh, Okumura-kun? It's Maki.
Yeah, okay.
Professor!
It's Okumura-kun.
Okumura... what did Minami say?
Really? Is that possible?
As you can see, with a little pressure, the core will erupt.
In theory, the principle is the same as with this liquid.
Put simply, it is entirely possible to induce Mount Mihara to erupt.
The problem is how to lure Godzilla to Mount Mihara.
As has been made clear in the documents you've been handed,
we're certain we can come up with an answer soon.
I just don't get it...
You're saying you'll use Godzilla's "homing instinct" and some "magnetic area"
and come up with a synthetic soundwave that will lure it in?
What's more, even if it were possible to make Mount Mihara erupt,
what about the problem of what happens to the people of Oshima?
There have been no incidents of magma crossing the volcano's mouth
and extending to its base.
I think it'd be best to leave Godzilla to the Self-Defense Forces.
Let's ask the JSDF for help, but also move forward with Hayashida-san's plan.
As for securing the people's safety,
we will ask the local, related agencies for their utmost support.
That is all.
Still, using a volcanic eruption to kill Godzilla for good...
I never would've thought of it.
There's no way we can kill it.
So, what do you plan to do with it?
Didn't you sense it at the nuclear plant?
When it appeared 30 years ago, Godzilla was spoken of as a legendary monster
- We'll be leaving now. - Excuse us.
When the world is in chaos, monsters appear.
Many cultures have similar legends.
The return of Godzilla means the world is going to be in turmoil.
All I want to do is send Godzilla back to where it came from.
That's all.
"Tehski, Special Envoy for the USSR"
"Rosenburg, Special Envoy for the USA"
The Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR is also
resolved to using nuclear weapons to attack Godzilla.
Mr. Prime Minister, here's no alternative against Godzilla
other than through the use of tactical nuclear weaponry.
We ask for your nation's consent!
Do we have permission?
The nuclear blast would be contained to a small area,
and with the right inertial guidance, we could kill this monster.
Are we in agreement?
If Godzilla should attack Japan,
its next target could be any of us or the Pacific fleet base at Vladivostok!
Mr. Prime Minister, we need your answer!
Mr. Secretary of Defense...
The tactical nuclear weapons mentioned by the two nations,
what scale are we talking about?
Well, they have ten kilograms combined between the two.
I understand that's approximately half of what was used on Hiroshima.
Mr. Director General,
should Godzilla reach Tokyo, how extensive do you think the damage would be?
It's impossible to estimate.
As a scientist, what would you say if nuclear weapons were used?
The area within three square kilometers would be obliterated.
However, should the locals be successfully evacuated...
Put simply, the use of nuclear weapons would result in fewer casualties.
At this point, I don't think there's any other option.
Prime Minister Okura,
I'd ask that you not make this decision lightly.
If we use nuclear weapons,
how can we deal with the radioactive fall-out?
What's more, do we even know that nuclear weapons will even work against Godzilla?
Should the capital be destroyed, Japan would fall into a state of semi-paralysis.
It would seem you haven't grasped that fact, Minister.
What I'm saying is, if we use nuclear weapons against Godzilla, would they really-?
No one can know. Not until we try.
- May I say something? - Please, go ahead.
Tactical nuclear weapons work only in small-scale combat.
The US and the Soviet Union have hesitated to use them in real combat.
That's why-
You think they want to experiment on us?
Exactly.
I see. So that's why they've agreed to be a part of this?
Mr. Prime Minister, should we decline their offer,
Japan could face diplomatic isolation...
I thank you all for your input.
Our country adheres to the Three Non-Nuclear Principles:
the non-possession, non-production, and non-introduction of nuclear weaponry.
It is my wish to preserve that policy in this situation as well.
That shows the egotism of your country!
We are the ones who had one of our subs sunk by Godzilla.
We have the right to seek vengeance.
It is the right time when principles are at stake.
There is no such thing as "safe" nuclear weaponry.
Besides, we have no proof nuclear weapons are going to work.
But once we use them, who can say when they'll be used again.
If you would call Japan's Three Non-Nuclear Principles "egotism," then so be it.
However,
is not the Soviets' and the Americans' desire to use nuclear weapons also egotism?
Well, gentlemen?
Then we're out of options.
I will speak with the leaders of your countries and serve as the final authority.
"Soviet Nuclear Space Weapon"
"American Nuclear Space Weapon"
Mr. Prime Minister...
What did you say to their leaders?
"Should Godzilla appear in your countries,
either America or the Soviet Union,
should it threaten the capitals of Washington or Moscow,
would you have the courage to use nuclear weapons?"
Both leaders saw my point.
"Colonel Kasirin, Soviet Political Operative"
Soviet Cargo Ship "Barashevo"
Comrade Polkovnik, what are you doing?
After the meeting, the government called off the nuclear missile launch
so this is no longer needed.
We've spotted Godzilla!
It's moving underwater towards Tokyo Bay!
It seems certain Godzilla will land somewhere along...
...Tokyo Bay.
The JSDF plans an all-or-nothing attack against Godzilla, huh?
There's talk of trying to get Godzilla to absorb a liquid cadmium solution.
Would that even do anything?
I don't consider Godzilla a nuclear reactor.
I have no interest in that line of thought.
- Pull up the new data. - Right.
We're running out of time.
No matter what, we have to finish this ASAP
"Ground Self-Defense Force"
Squadron 2, commence operation.
Copy that.
Southeast Team, commence operation.
Move it!
How is it?
Squadron 1 is a go. Nothing out of the norm so far.
This is mobile command. Repeat, mobile command.
Anti-sub choppers still have nothing on sonar, over.
Mobile command to HQ. Repeat, mobile command to HQ.
Godzilla still shows no sign of having entered Tokyo Bay.
Colonel, we have to leave now! It's dangerous!
Run if you're afraid!
I have to remove the control device for the nuclear missiles.
I must stop it!
Let me find the strength!
Mr. Chief of Staff, what about the Super-X?!
Sir.
It's currently being loaded with cadmium artillery.
It will be airborne soon.
Godzilla is heading to Kasumigaseki.
It will pass through Nagatacho, Akiosaka and Aoyama.
Residents should be alerted...
Godzilla is now heading for the Yotsuya and Shinjuku districts!
Any nearby residents, please evacuate immediately!
Professor, is it still not done yet?
Ah, Grab that data there for me.
Okay.
Godzilla is directly above us!
We have received word from the Godzilla Emergency Countermeasures group.
Having reached land, Godzilla is currently in the Nagata area and headed toward Shinjuku.
All inhabitants must evacuate to the designated shelter immediately!
This is Shinjuku mobile command unit calling HQ, over.
This is HQ, over.
We will now attempt to lure Godzilla per mission parameters, over.
Mobile command, please transmit the location of your vehicles, over.
Unit No. 1 is in front of the Sumitomo building.
Unit No. 2 is to the rear of Chuo Park.
Unit 1, roger.
Unit 2, roger!
"Ground Self-Defense Force"
Well, I guess this'll do.
So, no one's around, huh?
Is this "I love Tokyo"? Or "Welcome, Godzilla"?
Well, let's see...
What's this like?
The heck am I doing?
This ain't some singles' party like back in my college days.
If I'm gonna drink, nothing but Camus cognac will do.
Don't go walkin' around like you own the place, you bastard!
Just 'cause you're in Shinjuku doesn't make you a big shot!
- Adjust it down minus one. - All right.
Yes. We've done it!
Professor!
A JSDF helicopter should be landing on the rooftop soon.
- Okay. - Let's hurry.
- You okay? - Yes.
Naoko-san! You all right?
- Yes. - It's no good.
The elevator's not working.
What?
Let's take the stairs.
Okay. Come on.
Let's go.
"No Entry"
Hello?
That tremor just now triggered the automatic locks.
Damn!
Great!
Where's the Super-X?!
It's just launched.
Municipal Air Defense Fighter - Super-X
Good. I'll help.
Cadmium rounds are ready to fire.
Roger that.
Launch the flare.
Launching!
- Fire a cadmium round! - Firing!
Fire!
Launch another flare.
Fire!
"Time Remaining"
"Min. Sec."
Hello, get me Foreign Minister Emori!
Sir! We just got an emergency call from Ambassador Zasimov!
An unexpected incident caused one of their satellites to launch a nuclear warhead at Godzilla!
At this rate, it will strike Godzilla in about 30 minutes.
In other words, a nuclear explosion in the heart of Shinjuku!
Thirty minutes...
How did this happen?
The warhead's control mechanism was aboard a Soviet cargo ship in Tokyo Bay.
When Godzilla destroyed the vessel, it apparently went off automatically.
They had something like that on board?
So, the Soviets can't control it?
They can't destroy it in space?
They said that due to the trajectory, their missiles can't strike it.
That's not enough time!
There's no way we can evacuate the entire Shinjuku area in thirty minutes!
What are you talking about?
We'll use the subways and underground complexes.
Move as many people as you can!
Sir!
- Mr. Foreign Minister. - Sir?
Issue an emergency signal, request the US to shoot down the missile.
Understood.
Mr. Prime Minister!
We were able to plot the Soviet missile's trajectory.
This is the orbit of the Soviet nuclear attack satellite.
The warhead was launched almost 200 kilometers above the Gulf of Mexico.
Next, the warhead will make a half-orbit along its trajectory
and enter the stratosphere,
making a direct hit on the Shinjuku region where Godzilla is located.
We did it.
Yes sir, we did!
You've all done well. Thank you.
Please stay back! Stay back! It's dangerous! Please stay back!
Please don't come near. It's dangerous.
You're in danger! Please stay back! Stay back!
Professor! Godzilla is...!
It's not dead.
It couldn't be.
I wish I was at Mount Mihara...
This is an emergency broadcast.
According to an announcement by the Godzilla Emergency Countermeasures Headquarters,
a Soviet satellite has accidentally launched a nuclear warhead
that is expected to detonate in the airspace above Shinjuku.
Professor. that is expected to detonate in the airspace above Shinjuku.
All residents, please follow the instructions of your local authorities and evacuate as directed.
Time is of the essence! Please evacuate at once.
Take shelter on the underground platform of the Marunouchi or the Shinjuku Lines,
as well as the tracks themselves. I repeat: All residents...
America has arranged to launch an intercept missile.
"Kadena Air Base, U.S. Air Force"
The intercept missile has just been launched!
Six minutes until it reaches the nuclear warhead.
They'll strike in the stratosphere, approximately 70 kilometers above Tokyo.
You all right?!
Yes. I'm fine.
Dammit.
Look, there they are!
It's Okumura!
Brother! Brother!
Brother!
Okay!
Brother!
Naoko.
Okumura-kun, is that nuclear warhead really going to detonate?
The Americans launched an intercept missile to blow it up in the air.
Don't worry. I'm sure they'll destroy it.
The turbulence is really bad. Hurry!
Go on, Naoko-kun.
No Professor, you first.
Professor! Hurry, here.
Professor!
Professor! Are you alright?
I'm fine.
Naoko-san.
You go, Brother. Give this to the professor.
Okumura, we're running out of time!
Go!
Maki-san, look after my sister.
Brother!
Okumura-kun! You okay?!
The wind is too strong! The chopper isn't steady!
Mr. Prime Minister. The evacuation is underway!
Two minutes and counting.
A missile has been launched to detonate the nuclear warhead in the stratosphere.
However, there is still danger of a nuclear explosion occurring.
Please continue with the evacuation.
Professor Hayashida said we'd be alright, but...
a nuclear warhead is flying right toward us.
And I'm sure Godzilla will awaken soon.
Who knows if the helicopter can even make it to Oshima?
We're going to die here.
The warhead won't go off,
and I'm sure the helicopter will make it.
What's going on?
This isn't like you!
I'm scared.
I will keep you safe.
Direct hit!
Mr. Prime Minister!
That outage just now was from the nuclear explosion in the stratosphere,
creating a powerful electromagnetic shockwave.
The rotors have stopped!
Commander! The injector nozzles aren't working!
- Just keep us stable! - Sir!
Can we launch?
- Yes! - Good.
Commander!
We're out of cadmium rounds. All we have is conventional weaponry.
So be it! We take off at once.
Take off!
Hey! HEY!
Excuse me!
Could you please hold the end of this hose?
Yeah, sure.
Here we come!
- Go on. - No!
Do it! Hurry! And don't look down.
You okay?
Hold position! Hold position!
You bastard! Pretending to be dead!
Run!
You okay? You all right?
Don't think of this as a disaster. Think of it as an opportunity!
This one's nice and light.
Ow...
Hey, big fella!
Why are you messing around here?
You dumb bastard!
Dumb bastard...
Ow. Ow...
Get down!
Professor. Do you think it's working?
It's headed for Mount Mihara, isn't it?
The professor did it!
I have to go, too.
Let's go together.
Connections have been restored!
Godzilla is heading toward Oshima.
"Caldera Base, Mount Mihara"
Professor. Godzilla is headed this way.
Fin
