Original subtitles

About six months ago, an airplane carrying an atomic bomb crashed in the

Arctic Ocean.

The bomb exploded, and the great heat and force of the explosion released the

monster Gamera, who had been imprisoned in the ice almost since the beginning of

time.

Gamera attacked Japan, leaving death and destruction in his wake.

Man-made weapons were powerless against him.

The sea plan was mankind's last hope.

Gamera was lured into a rocket which was sealed and shot to Mars.

But the rocket crashed into a meteor.

The capsule split open and Gamera returned to Earth, his devastating power

even more terrible than before.

In order to store up even greater energy in his massive body, Gamera attacked

Kurobe Dam.

One of the largest in northern Japan.

What's that?

I don't know.

totally destroyed.

Gamera senses that a volcano is erupting on the other side of the world.

His love for flames pushes him hungrily toward the flow of molten lava.

You've resigned.

You've made up your mind.

Yes. I have, sir. As of today.

It's a little strange, since you've just won your wings.

What is it?

Tired of flying?

No, of course not, sir.

I don't have to tell you that flying is the only thing worth doing. And that's

the reason I'm quitting.

I have a plan.

One ambition.

And I intend to achieve it.

I bought it.

Severance pay.

Old thing.

We'll need it.

Can't get rich working on salary.

My own company. That's what I want.

I'll get it, too.

All right, Keisuke.

Now.

For any of you who've forgotten, I suppose I can run through it again.

During the war, in the jungles of New Guinea, I found an opal this big around.

I hid it in a cave before we were sent to the prisoner of war camp.

It must still be there.

How can you be sure?

1945's a long time ago. The cave is supposed to be haunted by some beast

called the Ava.

A beast the natives believe in.

It's a real gamble, isn't it?

Right.

It'll bring us at least four million.

A real open, are you sure?

Yes, I am.

We might find rubies or diamonds.

Since I can't do a lot of walking, Kisuke goes in my place.

I'm ready. Fine.

Over.

Now then, listen.

I've arranged passage for you on the Awaji Maru on a cargo run.

You got the... Ah, oh yes, of course.

It costs a lot of money to get these seaman's books forged.

One for you, and one for you.

Keisuke and Onodera will board as regular seamen. Be careful how you

handle things. And you as navigator. That's right.

The Awajimaru will reach port in New Guinea in 25 days.

She'll unload, take on a new cargo the next day, and set out to tour the

island. She'll be back in port in exactly two weeks.

And that is all the time you'll have to find the great opal.

We run away without leave and then try to reboard the same boat.

Say you're going to look for the bones of a friend who died during the war,

huh? Good idea.

Next, the airport at Jibata.

Charter a helicopter here.

And get some dollars on the black market.

Your job is fly the helicopter.

Yeah. And make sure that no one has to make a parachute jump.

Watch out when you're in that cave.

There are deadly scorpions.

And don't close your eyes when you're in the jungle either.

These are to be used if you need them.

I didn't know I was volunteering for this.

It can't last forever.

Hey, you too.

Look at the head. The what?

What you got on your shoulders.

Enjoying yourself, huh?

You've got to find us some easier work.

You can stick it out.

We're not complaining.

It's wonderful. We even get to clean the latrines.

Why don't you try it?

Only three days to go.

Oh, I hope so.

We'll manage.

Three more days.

a little walk through the jungle ahead of us now. Yeah.

There's nobody around.

Yeah.

Look at that.

Wonder what it is.

Make it out. I'm sorry, I don't even know if they're words or just letters.

Get off the map.

We should be able to find out which way to head.

You can't just flash a gun whenever you're a little bit scared.

These natives helped us during the war. They're not going to hurt us now. Come

on. Give it here.

I'll take it.

Can we get one of them to be a guide? We don't even know how to talk their

language. That's all right. I can talk yours.

Is this your first trip to our island?

Yes, it is.

I am Dr.

Matsushita, and this island has been my home for almost 15 years.

I remember his very first day. I was just a child.

It's been so good to us ever since he came here.

We wanted him to stay with us.

And so did I.

You see, this island is like a paradise on Earth. I feel no need to go back to

civilization.

I've set up an excellent laboratory, and Kara here is a wonderful help.

Now then, can I ask you what brings you here?

Well, it has to do with a cave nearby.

Do you know it?

I don't know what you want there, but give it up. Don't go. Why not?

You go out to the hill of death.

The hill of what?

That is the writing you were trying to read on the stone.

It says no one who goes to the hill of death can come back alive.

Why is that?

We don't know, but the stone has been standing here for thousands of years,

they say.

It is a warning from our ancestors that an evil spirit dwells there, and that it

is even dangerous to go near the place.

Then you're not going to help us look for it? Of course not.

They say you must forget about it.

Respect their wishes.

They don't want anyone even to go near that cave. That proves they must have

treasure hidden there.

And that story is only a fairy tale to protect their treasure, huh? And the

evil spirit is just the scorpion my brother mentioned.

We're not going to get any help here.

That must be the path.

Let's follow it.

Well, they really own the treasure.

But we're not going to quit now. That's right. Come on, let's go.

Please,

you mustn't go there.

Stay where you are.

Be careful.

Don't move.

What are you doing?

Just scaring them away.

Didn't know it would come in handy so soon.

Come on.

Come back.

Come back.

Be careful.

Get this!

The three of you!

We're coming!

We're coming!

My leg! Take my leg!

Good place to hide things.

We should be a lot further in. He said 20 yards and then the first tunnel to

the right. Don't get impatient.

We got time now. Yes, you're right.

It's only a fact.

What are you trying to do? What was it?

Scorpion, one bite and you're dead in four minutes.

Handy things to have around, huh?

We all share equally.

Whoever finds it. Yeah, of course we do.

We're in this together.

Right? Right.

Let's start in here.

Pull away all the rocks you can.

Hey, what's this?

A skeleton.

Well, what of it?

I don't like it very much, that's all.

We've done it. Look.

Let me see. This is it.

Look here.

It's worth everything we've gone through.

We're in jeopardy, one of us. I'm going to buy.

I'm going to buy the whole city of Osaka.

I'll never work again.

What a surprise.

Wait till I show it to my wife.

You can buy your airline company.

Then I'll hire you to take me and my family on a tour of Japan, huh?

I can hardly believe it.

What do you say?

What's the matter with you?

Can't you think of anything?

Well, it's wonderful, isn't it?

It's the greatest thing there ever was.

Now our troubles are over.

I can just see my brother smile.

He'll smile. He'll smile like he never did.

What is it?

Oh, my God!

A scorpion!

I'll get the first aid kit. Hurry up!

Try to hold on, Kawaguchi! I can't.

I'm blind.

Go and see Reese.

You wouldn't help it.

Try not to take it so hard.

Keisuke, you have to snap out of it. Come on, we've found the opal.

We should be going.

You can't take him with us, you know that.

I better take care of the jewel, huh?

What's wrong?

Don't you trust me?

We got what we came here to get.

We better have a look around.

There might be more. Who knows?

What am I doing here?

If we had found you a bit later, you'd have been dead.

But we didn't save you out of kindness. You can believe that.

You and your friends found something, didn't you?

And then one of them betrayed you.

Don't try to hide it.

Yes. We found what we were looking for.

The opal.

An opal?

That's right one that's this big My brother found it during the war he hid

it in that cave himself And so by rights it's ours

What's going on up there?

Those men outside are afraid that God may curse them.

What sort of curse?

There are some things which science can't explain.

You must return it. You must. Otherwise, if you don't, the lives of all our

people will be in danger.

Really?

They value it so much.

Its value is not what we're talking about.

Doctor, it's in Japan. I'll go there.

Impossible.

I will go.

Oh, please.

You must remain here and look after the tribe.

I'll go to Japan, please.

You'd be lost, my child.

You wouldn't know what to do or even where to go. We mustn't just wait for

all the trouble to begin.

You can't go alone.

Then he'll have to take me.

Listen to me.

What you think is an opal is really not a jewel at all.

It is a bringer of evil and misfortune to the whole world.

So what is it if not an opal, Kara?

It is a bringer of misery.

That is why no one steps inside the cave.

Only you men did.

You have done a terrible thing.

And now my tribe can only pray.

Pray that the evil will not be inflicted upon us.

Oh, is it?

Hello. Hello, Doctor.

How are you feeling?

Not too bad.

I get the shivers every now and then.

Well, that's what happens when you've picked up malaria.

You've got to expect it. I guess so.

Onodera, tell me, why did you leave the ship without permission?

You wanted to bring back the bones of your friend?

Yes.

You got this athlete's foot in the jungle?

It's a very hard type of fungus infection to cure.

We can try the infrared.

Sure, if it'll do any good.

Bet that's one gift you didn't think you'd bring back with you.

Turn it off after

about 20 minutes.

Yes. Three times a day until we get back to Japan.

Thanks. Don't forget.

We need one more hand for Mahjong.

I'm in sickbay, can't you see? The doctor won't allow it.

Are you kidding?

The doctor himself sent me down here to get you.

Oh, why didn't you say so then?

Be careful.

Sorry, I don't have much hair, you know.

Who asked you?

Hey, can't you leave anything in one piece?

Go on ahead.

No.

Well, I should go around here.

What are you afraid of getting stolen?

Something very important to me.

Yeah? What?

My friend's boat.

Oh, I see.

Come on, you man.

All right, you might as well take what I've got left.

I'll get a cigarette.

Ah, Sanjo, what are you looking for? Okito, do you have the key to the sick

bay? That's going to do.

Mr. Orendera, the sick bay's locked. Could I have the keys? What do you want

before? I want to leave this offering with your friend's bones.

Leave it here. I'll take it in later.

You know, my dad died for the emperor on a saucy island.

Your friend doesn't seem like a stranger.

Can I have the key please?

Oh, give it to him.

What is it?

What's wrong out there?

The Opal. Are you sure he brought it?

I want to see it up close.

I'll pay a lot of money if it's real.

I was doing a dinner. Look.

Oh? I saved them for you.

I know they're precious to you.

What's precious?

The bones of your friend.

Are you kidding?

Pig bones. That's all they are.

You are one of the crew members of the Awajimaru?

Yes. You know Keisuke Hirata?

What did you say?

Hirata. Hirata.

He was on board, wasn't he?

I don't know.

Where's my brother?

Where is he?

and fell over a cliff.

Kawajiri, too.

I looked for days, but I couldn't find any trace.

And now this.

One disaster after another.

Where did you find it? You know what I mean. The opal. The opal?

Of course I found it.

Yeah, right where I hid it, eh? Let me have a look.

It's gone. It sank with the ship.

I had it in my suit pocket in the sickbay.

In your suit pocket?

That's right. That's what I said, isn't it?

Anyway, the water isn't more than a hundred feet deep where the ship went

down. I'll hire a team of divers.

I brought it this far.

I'm not going to give it up now.

Oh, no, I'm smarter than that. Listen, when you find it, then we talk.

In the meantime, kindly stay away from me.

What in the world?

All right, get moving as fast as you can.

We have to get back to Osaka.

Come on.

I think we ought to wait a bit before starting to dive. What are you talking

about, Hirata?

If we wait a minute longer than we have to, the police dredging squad will have

it pulled up.

We can't afford to let that happen.

But they don't know it's there.

You know damn well they'll find out soon enough.

And if they do, you got any money?

I have 100,000 yen.

Well, do you have them on you?

Then we can manage.

The monster's coming toward Osaka.

No. Yes, news broadcast just now.

He's getting nearer.

Anasa, we must run.

Well, looks like we can't dive for the opal right now. You can't back out now.

Don't you know I risk my life?

I guess if the monster's at Kobe.

Now's the time to do it while there's still confusion, but no danger.

A hundred thousand is enough. Now, where is it? Give it to me. Oh, no, dear.

Listen, Hirata.

Wait and make sure.

We're not joking around.

I had to kill two men for that jewel.

There's no time to waste.

You murdered my brother.

Murdered my brother.

I just... I meant that two had to sacrifice themselves.

Liar.

You said you killed. I heard you say it.

No, don't be silly.

You took his okay.

You murder... Okay, it's okay.

No, we're not.

No, we're not.

Within three seconds... What's that?

The temperature within a quarter mile radius of its present position has

dropped to eight below zero.

All persons evacuate the area immediately.

Repeat. All persons evacuate the area immediately.

This is an order.

Thank you.

The evacuation is now completed.

All rockets standing by, sir.

Missile caught.

May now open fire.

sources of heat and light energy, Gamera was immediately aware of Baragon's

rainbow and rushed across the skies to Osaka to find it.

The monster Baragon has wiped out the entire army missile range, but at the

moment seems to be sleeping.

Keep calm, everyone.

That ends the 9 p.m. emergency news. Stay tuned in on the civil defense

frequency for music and any further developments.

Make way, please. Make way.

Look! Look up there!

It's Gamera!

Here is a special bulletin.

Gamera returned to Earth a month ago after the crash of the Z-Plan rocket in

which it was hoped he would be landed on Mars.

After he attacked the Kenobi Dam, he went on to other areas in the world.

His attraction for flames and energy has drawn him back here to Osaka and to the

strange destructive rainbows that shoot out from the new monster's back.

The only weakness is his sensitivity to cold.

He is now frozen solid, unconscious, probably dead.

The new monster, on the other hand, came out of the Titanic struggle relatively

unscathed. No one knows where Baragon will

go or what he will do next, but we are keeping our telephoto lenses trained on

him.

What's the matter?

What is it?

There's nothing we can do.

It's too late, I'm afraid.

I can't believe it. I just can't.

We're responsible for this calamity.

We must find something.

It's okay. Will you listen to me?

Isn't there any way to kill it?

Yes. Here's the plan.

Farragut is close.

I've got to go where he is at once.

You filthy... Stop, Keisuke!

We split it in half.

You helped me pull up the Opa from the wreck.

Who'd ever know we salvaged a jewel?

I'm telling you, that thing was not a jewel.

It was the egg of the monster.

It's the truth. That's why she came all the way back here from New Guinea.

He doesn't want to understand.

We did a terrible thing when we went after it.

It was Baragon's egg. You'd better listen.

I won't swallow that.

You'll never get me to.

I went to see my brother.

I couldn't find him or his wife. I looked all over.

I guess they both died in the flames of the fire. You sat there!

But, Keisuke, I don't know anything.

I wasn't there.

Come on, Kara.

Keisuke, please untie me.

I was wrong.

Please. Hey!

According to the New Guinea tradition, the monster Barragan will follow a

shimmering 6,000 carat diamond anywhere.

Since he cannot live in water, he is being lured to Lake Biwa by the

brilliant gem.

Easy, watch what you're doing.

I guess you've missed the latest.

They're going to the lake to sink a 6,000 carat diamond, hoping that

Barragan follows it.

What?

6,000? That's right. It was brought back from Guinea by a native girl. You sure?

I just heard it on the radio.

Then they've got a jewel worth a hundred times the opal.

In an hour.

What's going on down there?

I can't explain it.

It's pointless.

It won't work.

He's going back.

gone wrong it was discovered that the

infrared rays barrigan had been exposed to while in his shell had so enlarged

him that he could no longer be lured by the diamond helicopters dropped

artificial rain on him for days

Weakened by the water, he could inflict no damage.

Meanwhile, the greatest scientists on Earth were trying to perfect a method of

amplifying and magnifying the intensity of the diamond so Baragon could be

captured by it.

Don't lose your nerve. Stay calm. Don't wake up.

All right. Cut to Ray.

All right. The diamond, please.

Good.

Be careful.

Right.

They're standing by. Good.

Begin. Yes.

All right.

We begin.

Yes.

All right. Switch.

Yes, sir.

It's working!

Stop the jeep!

It's moving!

It's moving! Look!

What's the matter? The engine's stalled!

Professor, come in.

You read me?

Turn off the ray.

I've got it running. Let's go. Good.

For heaven's sake, don't touch it yet. Are you ready? Now.

Deploy your men.

I can't just stand around and let them sink that diamond.

No, don't go. You'll only get hurt.

Get away from me. Oh, no, please. I'm going. You might even get killed.

Leave me alone.

Oh, no.

But our ancient legend said it was the truth.

It worked.

You're mad.

What are you doing here? I want the diamond.

We're the ones who brought this on.

Don't make it worse.

What's going on? Check the patrol.

Yes, sir. And report here.

Come in.

Come in.

I've got a right to this and I'm taking it.

Don't be a fool. Stand back.

I'll shoot whoever moves.

Right. I want every available aircraft to make an array now.

Relay that to control.

Yes, sir.

Why

do

you want to see Berrigan again?

It appears only once in a thousand years, so I'm the only one among my

people who's seen it.

And it's rainbow.

I've been told how terrible it was for years.

It was the first thing I was told about.

And now I never want to forget what it looks like.

I know we'll never be able to destroy it.

It's our punishment for going after the Opal.

Review mirror.

disappear. The rest of that jeep disintegrated.

Everything disappeared with that rainbow.

All but the mirror.

Paragon's weakness.

Use a huge mirror.

It'll reflect Paragon's rainbow.

Your theory is the creature would die by his own rainbow.

Operation reflection.

All right.

I think we should give it a try.

The microwave antenna on top of Mount Kajika is turned into an immense mirror,

using panels which are treated with an exceptionally reflective preparation of

mercury.

Baragon is kept immobilized by a constant barrage of rain.

Finally, preparations on the colossal mirror are completed.

Giant tanks are zeroed in on Paragon, hoping to provoke him into using his

rainbow, which the mirror would reflect back to its source, destroying the

monster. Correction, two degrees left.

Above three-inch motors, shift two degrees left.

Correction, down 45.

Range has been verified.

Standing by, sir.

This seems correct, sir.

Sir, we could sight the rainbow easier after nightfall.

Good idea. Thank you.

Everything's all right here, but I hope no one is near the reflector. Don't

worry, Professor.

Everything's being done by remote control.

Open fire!

It may have worked.

Let us hope so.

It must shoot out another rainbow.

Have them fire again.

Commander,

what can we do? He's got to produce another rainbow.

No, don't bother trying.

You might as well just forget it. He won't.

Why, Kara?

Why won't he?

I was raised with animals.

They're my friends. I know them all.

All my life I've known them.

If they get hurt by a mistake they make in the jungle, you'll have to believe

me, they never do it again.

The girl is right.

He'll never send out another one.

Well, this ends Operation Reflection.

Oh, God.

Isn't there anything we can do?

At last, the area that Baragon had frozen begins to thaw.

Gamera is coming back to life.

Panera's moving. Contact headquarters.

Gamera's coming back to life.

He's moving freely this time. What?

Gamera's begun to move.

Good.

Over.

Gamera's revived.

We finally got Baragon.

At least we've weakened him.

Now comes this.

Is modern science totally ineffective against these monsters?

What is it?

The camera.

The camera?

Parugam, he's being dragged in.

Yes.

We can only hope it works.

He's been defeated completely.

Look, it's Gamera!

I did a terrible thing when I went after that opal in the forest.

I caused the death of many men.

It had to happen sooner or later.

No, I know it's all my fault.

Why?

Why must men be so greedy?

It's all over now.

If you like, I'll take you home.

To New Guinea?

Onodera killed my only brother, so... I'm now completely alone.

Stay alone with me.
