"Mothra" (Mosura)

Typhoon number eight... Just passing the Caroline Islands

...has developed into a more powerful storm.

Its center winds are calculated at 60 meters per second with gusts of 80 meters per second!

It's traveling at 50 km per hour on a northerly course towards the Japanese mainland!

Attention all stations! Attention all stations! The 5400 ton vessel, Genyo-maru...

...is caught near the center of Typhoon number eight!

Please standby for distress signals!

Navigator, what is our present position?!

We are about four miles east of Infant Island!

What? Infant Island?!

- Are you sure?. - Yes Sir.We're drifting hat way quickly.

Damn...

The typhoon will push us into the radiation!

Captain! Hold on! We've hit a reef!

We're taking water!

Are you alright?

Abandon ship!

Right! Abandon ship!

Abandon ship!

They went down around this radioactive area.

Hey, our fuel is getting low.

This is helicopter JH-20 calling. We've just made our first pass, over.

There doesn't seem to be any survivors. We are returning to base.

Look?

They're humans!

Helicopter JH-20 calling from sector K in the test area, over.

We are flying over Infant Island and have discovered four survivors.

Hey! We're here! Hey!

Just a moment please! Just a moment please!

You will be given a chance for an interview soon enough!

Will we get a chance for an interview?

Let us take some pictures! That isn't asking too much!

Wait!

Let us in!

Dr. Harada...

...we've just completed the tests.

We didn't find radiation on any of them.

According to my calculations, this is scientifically impossible.

None of you have had any physical problems recently?

Do you know what I'm saying? None of you have any pain or inflammation of the joints?

Yes, we're all fine.

Excuse me...

What is it?

The truth is...

...I am a little hungry. That's because they let us eat a lot on the ship.

Hey, hey!

I'm with the Nitto Newspaper.

Nitto Newspaper?

Photographers are not allowed in here.

I'll have to ask for your camera.

Ten-chan!

I'm Fukuda from the Nitto Newspaper.

Who are you? Don't you know the radiation...

But there's no emergency, that's what you said.

I'm right, aren't I?

I'm Fukuda, pleased to meet you.

Since he's here, we may as well let them stay.

He's our''snapping turtle''.

Snapping turtle?

Oh, sorry...

What she means is when I get a hold of a story for the newspaper, I never let go.

About these guys...

Well, it's big news when they manage to survive radioactive counts of three million.

You'd think they'd be dead, huh?

So, the first thing you want to know is how they survived a radioactive count of three million?

Yes. This time I would like to ask them myself...

...how they managed to stay healthy in that radioactive area.

I want to be sure I fully understand what happened.

How could all these men survive in an area so polluted by radiation?

That's it. It was the red juice they gave us.

Red juice?

What is that?

It's what the natives there gave us.

The natives...

Did you say natives?! On Infant Island?!

This will put us on top!

The headline will read, ''The Mysterious Natives of Infant Island''.

What? That seems a bit overdramatic.

Be quiet. Put in what the Rolisikan ambassador said.

The Rolisikan government assures you...

...that we've thoroughly investigated Infant Island for natives.

We're not sure where they were...

...at the exact time of the atomic blast.

Ambassador, are you going to send an expedition?

The Rolisikan government has no plans at this time.

I wonder if anyone is an authority on those islands?

Dr. Chuzo should be able to assist us.

Chuzo?

He's an anthropologist.

He led the Polynesian expedition several years ago.

Good. Let's set up an interview right away.

I've already contacted him and sent Misgi to get a photo of him.

That was stupid!

What does it look like?

It's terrible! -How is it?

What the heck is this?

That's a great shot!

He doesn't like being photographed.

What a problem...

I have a feeling this is really big!

Hey, Chuzo...

Why won't you tell us all about the expedition?

You are the leader of the group, right?

You can hear all about it from the Rolisikan government.

Take his photo when he looks up.

I understand, I understand...

We won't try to take your photo.

At least let us see your face.

I don't have to show you my face.

What is it?

What's going on?

Sorry about that.

Hey, Shinji! Shinji!

Yes!

I told you to keep your pets in your room!

I was looking all over for it!

Chiro! Come here, Chiro!

Chiro! Chiro!

Just a moment...

I'll go and get it, alright?

Don't hurt yourself!

I'm fine...

Did you find it?

What's the matter?

What is it?!

Here.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Let's discuss the island. You are going on the expedition?

I haven't heard of one yet.

I'm sure you'll hear from them.

Isn't it amusing?

This has got to be an incredible discovery for someone like you.

It should open a new field of study for you.

Well, it should be interesting.

All of the Polynesian islanders share...

...a basic language structure and culture.

Does that mean that they are similar to the people of Hawaii or Tahiti?

Legends say...

...that the Polynesian people were the descendants of the ancient continent of Atlantis.

Do you believe what I'm saying?

I only believe what I see through the camera.

Then believe only in what you see.

The sound of a shutter reminds me of the sound of a guillotine.

A guillotine? That's a good one!

Please be careful...

Just like a guillotine, you'll never know when you're hit with a photo.

Wasn't that Dr. Harada? He's the leader of the Japanese expedition.

Hey, Michi!

Out of the way please. Out of the way.

What? The reporters have been shut out from the expedition?

Who was it that made such a demand?!

I'm sure you're all curious as to why reporters won't be allowed on this expedition.

There's no particular reason why.

We just want the mission to be successful.

Then you're saying that the press would just get in the way?

No, no, no... You and I see things differently.

This mission is my responsibility.

I won't need the services of the press.

It's a good thing you're out here.

I don't think reporters were allowed in there!

Hey, who is this Nelson guy?

Oh, he's the leader of the expedition.

I know that, but who is he really?

I don't think he's a scientist.

Why doesn't he want reporters?

Does he have something to hide?

Don't you think so?

I do.

Then he is suspicious.

He's suspicious.

Hey, is that what you think?

Then what do we do about it?

You must be joking!

Good luck!

Good luck!

Ten-chan!

Ten-chan!

Oh, Dr. Harada...

Is your meeting over already?

It's a good thing that you're taking it easy.

What was the meeting about?

Nelson is not a friendly man.

Nelson told me that he wants to see the expedition's data before it's released.

That's crazy!

He doesn't have any scientific background and he wants to have the reports?

I wonder what kind of business he's in?

Come out!

What are you doing here?

I'm just cleaning.

You were using that to clean?

I found it.

What is it anyway?

A Nitto Newspaper reporter doesn't make a good cabin boy.

I thought I was good.

Oh, well...

Just a moment.

You don't think I'm just going to let you walk out of here?

What are you doing here?

What is the meaning of this?

I just wanted to ask...

...if my research has to be passed on to you as well?

Of course.

Then, it's an order from the Rolisikan government?

It's my requirement for this expedition.

Then I'm ignoring it!

Let's go.

We will be approaching the site of the expedition in a short while.

You should you now put on your safety gear to shield you from the radiation.

Dr. Harada, how was it? Did you talk to Nelson?

I convinced Nelson to let him come with us...

...as long as he agreed not to do any reporting.

You could say I'm your cabin boy. Excuse me.

I'm Fukuda, with Nitto. Here...

Thanks.

Here...

Dr. Harada...

Why hasn't anyone decided to stand up against Nelson's control?

Even Dr. Roth reports to him, huh?

Is that what you say? Then, if Dr. Roth...

I'm a cabin boy. Sorry...

It is now time for us to go ashore.

I hope each and every one of you does your best...

...to make this expedition a great success.

Now, if any of you encounter any problems...

...the button on your right shoulder is a silent alarm transmitter.

Do not use it unless you are in urgent need of assistance, and we'll go to your location.

Please be patient in your research. Dismissed.

Chuzo!

What do you think you're doing?!

I'm lost.

What?

I am lost!

I have been looking for Chuzo.

What in the world did I step into?

This isn't normal growth.

They all look like fungus.

That's it, they're all giant fungus.

The survivors must have drank their juice...

...in order to stay alive.

I'm not sure which direction we should go from here.

It's amazing...

Doctor! I can't seem to find Chuzo.

That way!

Chuzo! What's wrong?

Chuzo! Chuzo!

Chuzo!

Hang in there!

Chuzo!

Chuzo!

Chuzo... Chuzo...

Hello.

Don't say that! What happened?

A blood-sucking plant attacked me.

That's it...

And then I was saved by two small women.

Small people? You're sure you didn't see children?

No.

I thought they were about 30 centimeters tall.

I could swear they were girls no larger than dolls!

What? Doll women?

You sure that you didn't imagine this?

No! They were real!

Well, we can't go back tonight.

We'll have to go back first thing in the morning.

Hey, how did these beauties come by to help you?

Beauties?

Oh, it's a journalist term.

You had a vision of two young ladies.

We like to call them beauties.

I got it!

Huh? What is it?

That's it!

Well, good night.

How's that for gratitude?

How can I interview you this way?

Jeez, I must be slipping.

What's the matter?

Chuzo!

-What's happening?

I think this has gone too far.

I'm not playing games.

I was wondering how they found me last night...

...when I figured that they were attracted to the sound of my alarm.

A song! They're communicating by song!

No, that's not a song.

It's their way of speech.

I'm not sure how they're doing it...

...but it's an unusual form of language.

Can you understand what they're saying right now?

It sounds like they want us to leave their island alone.

Oh, of course!

They want us to take our atomic tests somewhere else!

There will definitely not be any more nuclear tests.

You're very rude!

What do you think you're doing?!

I know movie producers who would want these girls.

Release those two girls this instant!

Doctor!

Nelson...

Natives!

They're coming!

They're over here too! Retreat! Retreat!

Release them now.

I have what we came here for!

Well, don't expect us to fight for you. Sentries put down your weapons.

Put down your weapons!

Boss, what do we do?

Are you sure?

Give them to me.

Let's get back to the ship!

Return to the ship! -Fall in!

Hey, doctor...

I wasn't sure what to think at first...

...but I think we're lucky to come to this island.

The ship has finally docked.

The investigative team...

...led by Nelson, the meteorologist, traveled to study the mysteries of life.

What amazing stories will they have to report?

A special event? It wasn't just a special event.

They went to an island hit with three million counts of radiation!

What happened to Fukuda? I want you to find him!

Ten-chan!

Welcome back!

Welcome back. Thank you for going there.

Is this what happened to you all this time?

I was very worried about you! The desk editor is furious!

Come on.

Was this your only trip to the island?

Why didn't we receive more reports?

Hey, wait a minute!

You can't leave without telling us anything!

Clark Nelson.

Date of birth and birthplace, unknown. Pre-war history is unknown.

In 1954, he traveled to the Amazon in search of a native tribe there.

Although the mission was a failure, he was praised for a job well done.

I'm thinking...

...doesn't he seem like an international art broker to you?

An art broker?

Sure... The type who seeks out ancient art and steals it to sell.

It's a profitable business!

Doesn't that seem like a far-fetched idea?

Right. But this guy...

Guess what map I found when I was caught in his room?

Infant Island.

Fukuda, I found something strange on the island.

Fukuda, here it is.

What is it?

What is this?

I found this on a rock beyond a cave I discovered on Infant Island.

A cave? Did you say you found a cave?

It was an unusual cave.

I would have told Dr. Harada about it...

...but Nelson was always around.

The same symbol is all over this thing.

I think the message is a reference to it.

Through the use of my manuals on all of the Polynesian dialects...

...I think I know what it is.

Then what does the symbol mean?

Mothra.

Huh? Mothra?

What could that mean?

I don't know.

You're both very cute girls. I'm glad that I could see you again.

Boss! The natives!

Fire! Fire and then retreat!

Mothra...

Mothra...

Mothra...

How long have you been our''snapping turtle''?

Five years, three months.

What?!

And you saw these girls on Infant Island?

Don't say that! Why didn't you file the story?!

Well?

Well, we didn't want them to get hurt.

Damn! That's your problem to deal with!

The scientists are human.

What?

The entire expedition group agreed to it...

...but we didn't expect this guy to put them into showbiz!

These girls are human!

We didn't want them to get hurt!

I'm a human, too!

Welcome, everyone.

We are living in the atomic age.

But people, does that mean there are no mysteries of life?

Have all of its wonders become obsolete?

No! Life is not without its mysteries! -Let's go up front.

This mystery is not a dream.

Tonight you will see the original life, the original mystery...

It is what I've discovered in my journey to the South Pacific.

I hope you enjoy the two lovely fairies.

Did you come alone?

No, my father is somewhere in the back.

I spoke with Dr. Roth earlier today.

It seems the Rolisikan government wasn't too enthusiastic about our expedition.

Oh, they were having financial difficulties, huh?

All of the financing was provided by Nelson.

So, he was your sponsor?

No wonder why he wanted to come along.

That melody...

Well, stop your meddling. Please go home.

I'm not meddling. I want an interview!

Well, that's enough for me.

I don't want you to know anything more about my mysterious ladies.

Hey!

What are you doing? No! No!

I'm not leaving! -You're going now!

What's going on?

Ten-chan!

Nelson!

It's been a while, huh?

I need to talk to you.

Talk?

Stop this inhumane show.

Return the girls to their island.

Inhumane...? You're crazy!

We make sure they get the best of everything!

These two mysterious girls aren�t just human beings, they're genuine treasures.

What are you saying?

My paper will tell all about what you're doing here!

You do and we'll sue you for slander!

Then why don't you tell me how much this fiend...

...profits from using these girls like slaves!

Slaves...? Don't be ridiculous! Do you think we use them like that?

My mysterious girls wouldn't sing if they weren't happy.

Then where are the girls?

Well, I don't know if this is right, but I'll let you see them for just 3 minutes!

If you're wondering if the girls are happy, you can see for yourself.

Miss, the camera, please.

I have all the advertising I need.

You're so rude! You can have it!

Please don't be worried.

Oh, they're pretty!

Do you understand me?

I'm the one you saved from the blood-sucking plant.

Hey, they look so frightened and scared.

Why don't we try to free them?

No.

We don't want Nelson to realize what we plan to do just yet.

But I don't like that guy.

We all feel the same way about that!

Hey, I hope you're doing well.

We don't think anyone in the world has the right to hold you like this.

Thank you.

The two of us do not wish to be here.

You finally understand what we're saying?

We do not have a use for words.

We understand through feelings and ideas.

Telepathy, huh?

Telepathy, right!

We truly want to return home as soon as possible...

But...

But, what?

She will come to rescue us...

...regardless of what happens to your country...

...and that fills us with great sadness.

Great sadness?

What's happening?

Mothra is coming.

Mothra?

Mothra is coming here...

...to rescue us.

Mothra...

...open your eyes. Mothra...

...your people are in need of you.

We need you to awaken for us now.

Look at this story! I want a retraction!

Anyway, you're paper had no right printing this story.

It is my newspaper's responsibility to report the truth.

Alright, you won't retract it for me, huh?

I'm going to the Rolisikan ambassador.

Your company will have big problems then.

Editor, this just came over the ticker-tape machine.

A large object...

...unidentified, floating in the South Pacific.

What does it mean?

Mothra is coming.

Mothra.

What the hell is a Mothra?

Infant Island has a legend, about a huge protector!

It's coming to rescue the girls!

That's just a load of garbage to sell newspapers.

I heard it directly from the girls!

What?

He's not lying.

Mothra is coming to rescue the two girls.

Everyone, what you are hearing, is one of the great wonders of life.

The only way to enjoy this spectacle is to hear it for yourself.

Hard to port! -Hard to port!

Shut up! All of you just shut up!

You want us to shut up?!

I'm not the one responsible for destroying the Orion!

This has no relation to me.

That's how it is.

We have nothing to do with an attack that was caused by a monster.

Is that so?

If you weren't holding onto the girls, Mothra wouldn't be coming here!

Coming to Japan! To Tokyo!

Think of the destruction!

Stop spreading lies! Your opinion is wrong.

Nelson!

Be quiet!

Regardless of what you say, it's pointless.

If you push this any further, we'll report you to the Rolisikan embassy.

You don't want to be indicted by them, do you?

Indicted?

Fine by me! Arrest us if you can!

Chuzo, it seems hopeless.

I hate to say it, but it looks bad for those two.

But, if we saw them once more...

Once more?

Let's go talk to the girls.

What is it?

We want to talk to the girls.

You can't!

No one goes in without the boss' approval!

I understand.

You think I'm joking?! You...!

Stop it.

Stop it!

I wish you would just cooperate!

What's going on here?! Damn you!

This can't be helped. I'll take care of these guys.

Hurry... Go talk to the girls.

Thank you.

Let me go! Let me go! Let me go, I said!

You're dealing with the Snapping Turtle! I'm not just a simple fast-talker!

Is there no way that you two can prevent this from happening?

Don't you have a way that you can control Mothra's strength?

Mothra has no way to understand.

Mothra is coming to us through her own instincts.

Really?

There's really no way you can control her?

We're very sorry...

...but there's nothing we can do.

That's it! Once more!

It's telepathy!

Can telepathy be stopped?

Can you do it?

We're testing something now that might be able to help us.

This material was designed with the hope...

...that it could prevent radio waves from affecting the oscilloscope.

I see...

If we could put them in a box made of this, Mothra may not know where to find them.

I've found it! It's about a hundred meters long!

Position? Okay, 137 degrees, 2 minutes north. 23 degrees, 10 minutes east.

Its current speed is 11 knots, heading for Tokyo!

Scramble our first air squadron.

We're right on top!

What? The lawsuit against us?

Oh, that's just a distraction.

Well, we'll be there to cover the Mothra battle.

Alright.

Well, I feel sorry for Mothra.

What?

It's all Nelsom's fault! If he would just release...

Damn!

What's the matter?

The Rolisikan government is supporting Nelson!

What?

The Rolisikan government states that it is obliged...

...to protect the rights of its citizens abroad.

Head to the defense office. Find out their plans!

Target sighted. Open bomb bays!

Bombs away!

Bombs away!

Everything you've tried was useless.

Are you certain that Mothra is really dead?

Of course, but I'm not worried about that.

I'm not so sure that she is gone...

...so take the box with you as a simple precaution.

Yes, yes... In case I'm wrong.

It's certainly not for your sake!

Hey!

Excuse me. We're only interested...

...in protecting others from your selfishness.

That's why we're giving you this box to stop them using their telepathy.

It's to prevent any misunderstanding.

I'm here!

Thanks for coming.

I am very lucky!

You're kidding.

What? Between god, prayers and my friends...

...I'm not chivalrous enough to go against Mothra for this pay!

Well, you're not alone there.

Is that an earthquake?

It doesn't feel like one.

Thank you, thank you.

Well, I don't think that I'll need it, but I'll use the box as you suggest.

How about it? The show is about to start.

No.

Oh, you won't need any money.

You can all be guests on my behalf.

Mr. Nelson, it's the phone for you.

Just a moment, please.

Hello? This is Nelson.

Huh? What? Cancel it?!

The Japanese Police are cruel!

Why should I cancel it?

Then go ahead and get it!

How rude!

Ten-chan!

You don't know what happened!

I know, I know... Nelson was called to cancel the show.

You're wrong! Something happened at Dam number three!

The dam?

Incredible...

Mothra!

It may destroy it! Let's hurry!

Let's go!

What's that?!

It's breaking! Run! Run away!

Stop it!

Alright!

I don't know how, but your pet is not taking you back to your island!

Be quiet!

I won't tell you any more!

In the case.

Get away!

Halt! Halt! Halt! Halt!

Halt! Halt! Halt!

Stop! Stop!

Doctor, it has to be Mothra! -Here, hold this for me.

How did she get here?

You can't do this! You must leave the bridge!

It's no good! Leave! Leave!

Hurry! Hurry!

Look out! Hurry! Hurry!

Ten-chan!

Mothra is angry because...

...Nelson is holding the two small girls against their will.

For their sake, I am taking them from him.

I hate Nelson.

Where could he have gone?

What's the matter?

A kid managed to get in the building.

He was wearing a red cap.

That kid could be a problem.

Damn that Mothra!

Anyway, we have to get rid of that kid for our own sake. Hurry!

I'm going to let you go.

Thank you...

...but Mothra is coming for us.

You should hurry and get away!

I'll be alright! When I get you home...

...my brother will return you to your island.

You bastard! How could you let him get away?!

Idiots! What's going on here?!

Well, a kid broke into the building and...

Go find that kid! Find him now!

There he is!

Hey! -Wait!

Hey, you! Wait! -Get back here!

Did you find him?

We can't find him anywhere!

Damn! Where did he go?!

Boss! Here he is!

Idiot!

Editor! The Rolisikan government is backing down!

The Rolisikan government is afraid of losing its ties to Japan...

...and is ordering Nelson to release the girls!

Alright! You're the top!

I'm going over to the theater! I want to see the look on Nelson's face!

It's terrible!

I know, I know! Wait for me here!

Hey!

Chuzo! What brings you here?

What's going on?

Nelson's about to be spooked!

My little brother said he was coming here to free the two girls.

Huh...? Hold this!

Fukuda! This is Shinji's!

You don't suppose...

Shinji!

Shinji! Shinji!

Hey! -Shinji!

Shinji!

Shinji! Shinji!

Brother!

You're safe now.

Are you okay?

Brother, I let you down!

It's alright!

Don't worry, Nelson will get what's coming to him.

Hey, it's terrible!

I know. Nelson, right?

What are you saying?! Mothra's on her way here!

What did you say?

Mothra? Where?!

She's making her way toward Tokyo!

Mothra's passed Mount Fuji and is heading for the city where Unit 2 is waiting. Roger.

Yes, Unit 2 is ready. Waiting for orders.

Unit 3 is moving into position within the city.

With Mothra approaching...

...residents of the Shibuya ward are asked to evacuate to the emergency shelters.

All residents of Shibuya...

...please evacuate your homes and make your way to the emergency shelters.

Fall back! Fall back!

Boss, this way is no good!

Perhaps it would be better if we went toward the sea?

Turn around. I have an idea.

...Ameike, Akasaikami. Those areas have just been evacuated. Let's try to stop it there.

It's currently at Goma 2-1. Mothra is making its way toward Tokyo Tower.

All of the local population there has been evacuated.

Ready to fire!

Ready to fire!

Wait for the commander's orders!

Yes, sir. Our unit is ready to attack. Roger.

Stand by!

What's that?

Base, base! Mothra is building a cocoon!

Mothra will grow in the cocoon until it's ready to leave.

That's probably how they'll return to Infant Island.

General, has Nelson been found?

He was last seen at the theater, but no one has seen him since then.

Boss...

You're George Walker, with the Rolisikan ambassador.

Alright?

Excuse me.

Editor!

I'm not paying you to sightsee!

How about Mothra making a cocoon?

What about Nelson?

I haven't found where he is.

Do I have to play ''G-Man'' for you, too?

This Mothra in front of us isn't a story!

Your behavior is disgraceful!

There hasn't been any sighting of Nelson up to now!

The first thing Nelson would do...

...is to get on jet bound for Rolisika either tonight or tomorrow.

How would that be possible?

I'm sure he could pull a few strings.

He'll do anything to keep the girls away from Mothra.

Let's go to Hanada Airport!

Excuse me.

The military command of the Rolisikan government...

...is willing to loan you its best offensive weapon.

These atomic heat cannons...

...will they be here in time to assist us?

Please relax. They will be here within ten hours.

With Mothra cocooned on Tokyo Tower...

...the army intends to surround the creature while it's dormant.

They hope to launch an attack while it is asleep...

...to end this confrontation without a large assault.

The Japanese and Rolisikan governments hope the atomic heat cannons will do the job.

In front of us, Mothra is not moving. The attack will begin shortly.

Hey!

Incredible...

We will begin our attack at 10:00.

Your attention please! Your attention please!

The military will begin its attack at 10:00!

When the atomic cannons begin firing...

...it is recommended that you wear your protective glasses!

Attacking in sixty seconds!

Ten-chan, your glasses.

Thirty seconds!

Twenty seconds!

Ten seconds... 9... 8... 7...

6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...

There is no doubt everyone, that the cocoon was...

Boss, with no one to follow us, we should be alright.

You're right. We're not in Japan anymore.

This is my home in Rolisika.

Mothra would never figure out that we would hide on a farm.

It appears that the monster...

...known as Mothra has been defeated.

A military commander is heading towards a microphone.

Everyone... everyone in the entire world, please wait.

Mothra has been confirmed dead!

Boss, boss! We're safe now, huh?

Well, sing! Keep singing!

You'll sing a long time before Mothra shows up!

Chuzo!

Look! Mothra seems to be heading for Rolisika.

Right, doctor?

Well, Nelson won't be safe in Rolisika.

Rolisikan patrol jets are in the sky searching for Mothra.

On that matter, public opinion of the Rolisikan people...

...have turned against Nelson as this continues.

The Rolisikan police have been instructed to arrest Nelson on sight, and they are actively...

Boss, this won't work!

If we go out there, we'll be picked up for sure!

Hey, I have something important to tell you.

What are you doing here?

I've been asked to help the Rolisikan government.

Don't tell me...

...that they want our help in trying to speak to Mothra?

You're right.

I'm right?!

Sure... What could we possibly say to it?

No, our problem is the girls.

We're the only ones that they've spoken to that they seem to trust.

I see...

But where do we find the girls?

First of all, we find Nelson...

...and they'll be happy to return to Infant Island.

Your attention please.

We've just learned...

...that Mothra has been sighted in the Newkirk City area.

Boss, I don't like this plan.

Chuzo, what do we do now?

Should we open it here?

No!

How would Mothra react if she knew they were here?

We shouldn't put these people through that!

Newkirk City is in bad shape.

Chuzo...

Do you remember this?

Oh, the symbol on Infant Island?

That's right. Look up there!

I get it!

That symbol must have some special significance with Mothra.

Right.

Hey, those bells... They remind me of the girls songs.

Chuzo, is there any way...

...that we can use this mark and the sound of the bells?

Mothra and the sound of prayers...

And songs...

Alright, let's do it.

We need you to have this symbol drawn as large as possible on the airport runway.

This?

Yes. We need it as soon as possible.

We'll do it.

And then, can you get the church bells of every town to ring at 3:00?

You want them to ring at 3:00?

Yes.

Okay, I'll see what I can do.

Do you think it will work?

Well, I don't doubt the power of prayer.

It's not so mysterious, but it's all up to god, now.

Well, we better get going.

It's 3:00.

I'm not sure... But it seems to be quiet.

It's coming this way!

Is it okay?

Alright. It's landing.

Thank you, everyone.

We pray that our land and yours will live in peace and harmony.

Thank you.

We promise not to disturb the peace of Infant Island.

Thank you.

Mothra is waiting for us. Goodbye!

Take care.

I'm not sure if we'll have peace and harmony, but we'll do fine.

Goodbye.

Goodbye!

Goodbye!

That's it!

I've got to call the editor! It's a top story!

Oh, no! -Huh?

I didn't get a picture!

It's alright!

The path of peace...

...is yours to discover for eternity.
