GODZILLA VS MOTHRA

ONE DAY LATER - THAILAND

Oh, I've been waiting for you...

Am I free?

Takuya Fujito, 30 years old...

Former teacher of archeology at Tohto University. Single...

However, he was divorced, has one child...

...and fails to pay his child support.

Masako!

The National Environment Planning Bureau?

That's a big institution. What would you want with someone like me?

We have been investigating the effects of a fallen meteorite...

...on earth's environment for the past month.

During the investigation, we found this...

These images were taken by our satellites.

What the... Where is this?

Right now, it's on one of the Indonesian Islands closed off to our people.

I have some tea for us.

Who are you?

A representative of the Marutomo Corporation. My name is Ando.

Here... We're developing that Island.

The Japanese government is supporting their development.

Real IV?

Then, you want me to investigate the area?

It's okay if you decline. You probably couldn't finish the job, anyway.

Is that what you think?

There's nothing I can't handle.

Of course, there was a woman that I couldn't handle...

I really think this man would be a bad choice, after all...

Ms. Tezuka, let him decide for himself.

So, if I accept, I go free?

I refuse...

I'll probably be free within a week.

This might be the safest place for me now.

Really? That's just the kind of thing I'd expect from you...

Masako, I'll send you the child support soon.

That might be difficult... This country is very harsh on thieves.

It should be even worse for you since you destroyed their temple and treasure.

Hey, hey, hey! Wait a moment! How long is my sentence?

Well, I wouldn't say less than fifteen years.

Fifteen years?!

Hey, wait a moment, Masako!

Hey, I accept!

Don't leave me, please! Masako!!

Yes, please come in.

Good morning.

Ah, Professor Fukazawa.

Thank you for seeing me. - A pleasure.

Ms. Tezuka and the others have left?

Today. They went to Bangkok.

Do you think those two will get along?

Maybe...

It's difficult to send those two together...

...especially when they were just separated.

No, I see they still have feelings for each other.

Our reliance on earth's resources is destroying our ozone layer.

Despite the overwhelming evidence...

...we humans just don't care about the consequences.

The meteorite is making it worse.

The air is deteriorating, the sea rising, and the earth's plates are shifting...

They just don't realize that the earth is truly in danger.

Have you found it?

The meteorite caused a strong undersea current. The waters have not returned to normal yet.

Our marking station is unable to locate Godzilla.

The meteor might have raised too much silt for us to track it.

We can't track Godzilla's location?

Turn south, three degrees.

Hey! Aren't you going to tell me what my mission is soon?

That's right, but I'll let you worry until we get there.

Here.

Infant Island?

Prepare to drop anchor.

Don't drink too much. It will make you tired.

Wow... That's an ugly mound.

We must protect these places. Humans will just tear them apart.

They could do it anytime now.

Has it already happened here?

Hey, is this okay?

The three of us weigh about 189 kilograms...

It will handle us easily.

I believe him.

What do we do now?!

Hold tight!

How do we get out of this, you moron?!

Masako, did you gain weight?!

I don't understand how you could ask me that at a time like this!

Hey! How can you argue in this situation?!

Great...

Jump into the water, quickly! - What are you saying?!

Do we really have to?

Yes! Come on, hurry!

You said... this would...

Hold us all!!!

Well, what do you know...?

It would have been faster if we followed the river instead of going in the jungle!

Amazing...

I didn't think a company man could row so well.

Oh, thank you. I owe it to a survival training course.

You're probably having more fun with me than you would at work.

Hey, keep rowing!

I am!

What kind of shortcut is this?!

This is a dead-end!

I suggest we make camp for the night. We can decide on what to do tomorrow.

Here...

To my papa, who chases thieves around the world. I will help you when I grow up.

Hey, hey! Did you tell her I was a policeman or something?

Should I have told her you were a petty thief?

Hey! Wake up! There's a cavern behind the falls!

A cavern?

What's this?

A stone painting, from ancient times.

Is it a thousand years old?

No, I'd say over ten thousand years old.

This is... ten thousand years old?

Incredible!

I don't believe it!

Hey...

Look at this!

Look! There's another passage.

We found it!

What is this?

This has no metals, like a meteor.

It seems more like... an egg.

An egg? This big?!

Is it from a dinosaur?

I doubt this was from a dinosaur.

It's Mothra... It's Mothra's egg...

Who is it? Where are you?

Here we are...

The flower spoke?

It seems so...

Who are you?

We are the Cosmos.

Cosmos?

Are you... from space?

We are all pieces placed on this earth to keep it in harmony.

Twelve thousand years ago, we Cosmos knew Mothra as the protector of the earth.

We had no hatred or war. We lived in perfect harmony.

But then, a group of scientists created twelve machines...

...designed to drain the life force of the earth.

The earth's life force?

The earth had no choice but to protect itself.

It did something to stop the machines?

Yes...

It gave birth to a black Mothra.

A black Mothra?

It was Battra...

Battra's destructive power is equal to Mothra's.

The earth used it to punish the Cosmos.

Mothra and the Cosmos fought Battra, and we defeated it in the northern ice region.

But Battra destroyed our weather-control machines...

...and large floods eventually covered our Island.

Mothra and the remaining Cosmos climbed our highest mountain to escape the floods.

And now, the earth thinks we are a threat to its life.

We believe so...

With the meteorite, the heavy rains and the landslides...

My company's development of the Island could be playing a part in this?

If it wasn't for the meteor...

...we believe Mothra's egg would still be buried in the earth.

But now that the egg is unearthed...

What will happen in the near future?

What we are afraid of...

...is that Battra may have also been awakened somewhere in the world.

What could that be?

What is happening to the earth?

Thank you for coming.

What is that demonstration all about?

It's an environmental protection demonstration.

Well, just ignore them...

They cannot do anything to stop the construction.

Of course. We don't need any problems.

We haven't resumed our operations in Indonesia yet.

If I cannot complete the development of Mt. Fuji...

...I would surely lose honor.

What?A large egg?

Mothra? What are you babbling about?

Listen, we'll talk about this later.

Just bring what you've found and I'll straighten it out!

Is this a trick...? What's next?

Does he think we can bring it back to Japan at our leisure?

It would be better off staying here.

I thought about keeping the egg safe.

But, with all that could possibly happen here...

...wouldn't Japan be a better environment to keep it safe?

I never thought I'd hear a Marutomo company man utter the words, “a better environment...

We trust all of you.

We don't want your country to make the same mistakes that we did.

Even now, the earth's plans can be halted.

If Mothra's egg will be of service to you...

...then we will go too.

You'll come with us?

Thank you... I promise you that we'll tell everyone about yours and Mothra's message.

What kind of thing that large would be traveling under the sea?

Godzilla?

Battra.

Battra?

Yes, this report came from Ms.Tezuka.

Sixth Air-Force Squadron, you are ordered to scramble.

The National Environment Bureau has ordered you to investigate a disturbance in the sea.

The disturbance is 150 kilometers off of the Noto Peninsula and is approaching rapidly.

Roger.

You are authorized to engage the enemy.

Repeat, you are authorized to engage it.

Roger.

It's coming faster!

That thing is approaching Japan!

That thing will devastate the mainland!

Al! stations secured and at stand-by. Prepare to depart.

Your Marutomo company is quite impressive!

The government reported today...

...that a creature has approached Japan and has burrowed underground.

The creature is reported to be a large caterpillar. Its precise location is unknown at this time.

That's Battra...?

Where did it go?

The city of Nagoya suffered heavy damages...

...from a large caterpillar creature that disappeared into the ground.

The government has been unable to locate it.

What kind of thing that large would be approaching us?

What is that?

That's...

Have we located Godzilla?

Yes, just off the Philippines.

It appeared there?

It seems the meteor triggered a pair of disasters.

The earth is punishing us for our arrogance!

The meteor may be the trigger...

...but the ones who created this danger was the entire human race.

What are you doing?

Don't you see?

The ship is in danger!

We have to release the egg!

No!

I have been ordered to bring it back to Japan!

That's why I'm not a salary man!

Godzilla is going to attack Mothra!

Get this ship out of here, quickly!

What's that?

Battra.

That's it?

Mothra's in danger!

Hey, they're attacking each other!

Mothra is returning to our island.

Good, while Godzilla and Battra are fighting. Hurry, get out of here!

Oh, no!

I've invested all this time and money, and this is what I have to show for it!

You're amazing! That egg and the creature...

...would have caused a major disaster if we brought it to Japan!

We've got to get out of here, quickly!

Scan sonar.

What's happening under the water?

Did the creature cause the volcanic eruption?

It's between the Philippine plate and the Eurasian plate.

They're gone!

Battra? Godzilla?

They've vanished from our scanners!

They went into the undersea volcano?

How can Godzilla withstand the magma?

How could he have helped science?

I don't know what they could do with the egg upon our return to Japan.

Really...

They would have made a spectacle of it all.

How many years has it been since we agreed on something?

With Battra and Godzilla in the volcano...

I'm not sure that this is over.

This reminds me of our honeymoon at the hotel in Cairo.

We thought that everything would come to us.

I wanted to be a powerful figure, remember?

I remember. But...

But...?

Power without wisdom can be painful.

Don't worry...

Everyone has to grow up sometime.

We can't afford to stay in our eggs forever.

I see...

Maybe humans can learn something from Mothra.

Yes, I think so.

It's terrible! I can't find the Cosmos! They're missing!

Where's Ando?

Great!

If we use the girls as the Marutomo Group's main spokespeople...

...we'll get lots of publicity!

Yes. That's what I thought!

Ando, good job!

Thank you.

Girls, I'll make you rich if you work for us.

They'll need a place to stay.

Ando, see if you can get some...

...furniture for our small guests.

But, I don't know what I could get for them!

Oh... I know, doll things!

Get them doll furniture to suit their needs!

Oh, of course!

Hey... Hey!

What?

Why are you walking so fast?

What if something happens to the Cosmos and Mothra comes to Japan to help them?

What are you talking about?

They said they would come to Japan to spread their message across the world.

But if Marutomo uses them for publicity, we'll have broken our promise to them!

Doesn’t that bother you at all?

MIDORI!

We're back!

Welcome home, mama.

Were you a good girl?

Welcome back!

Thank you for caring for MIDORI.

We rushed over here when I heard you were coming home.

You came to greet us too?

He just arrived.

Welcome back.

I'm traveling by helicopter to Mt. Fuji's volcanic activity center.

Why would you go there?

You don't mean...?

It seems that way.

The meteor must have done some damage to the Philippine plate.

What will this do to the earth?

Hey, where's papa?

He was just here...

Mr. Tomokame is insisting that Marutomo owns the Cosmos.

He is refusing to return them to us.

He's so selfish!

Doesn't he realize his arrogance could threaten us all?

The earth's life force will react to human selfishness.

It's finally coming.

Is Mothra really returning to Japan?

Yes, its speed right now is increasing with each moment.

It will attack just like Battra.

Mothra is not Battra.

It is not coming to destroy the city, it's coming to help the Cosmos...

It doesn't matter why it's coming, the fact is that it'll destroy Tokyo to do it.

First, we'll block off Tokyo Bay to see how aggressive Mothra can be.

But, if warning shots do not stop it, we'll have to fire on it directly.

We must expect the worst of the situation.

I understand!

That's why we must get the Cosmos back!

Only they can stop Mothra from attacking!

The Cosmos are no longer within our reach.

I just spoke with an official at Marutomo.

They are missing from their home.

Sir! We can't stop Mothra.

We have no choice, we will have to attack it.

Is Mothra coming to Tokyo?

It seems so, huh? Well, what do you hear?

Turn off the radio, please.

I can hear them. A song...

It's strong.

Has Ms. Tezuka called in?

No, she hasn't called yet.

Mothra has just landed in Tokyo...

This way, this way!

Hurry! This way, this way!

This way, please!

This way, please!

Is that Mothra?

Sir, we should leave.

It's our fault that it's here.

What are you saying, you idiot?!

Destroy it! Destroy it all! I'll rebuild the whole city!

They're here...

Really? I understand!

They're in Akasaka!

Sir! Mothra is heading for Akasaka!

Mothra is approaching...

It is recommended that you evacuate the city for your own safety.

Ah, here's Papa!

You've grown!

Papa, you see? I'm not a baby!

Real IV?

She missed you.

Papa, are you going to return the Cosmos to Mama?

I might not have done the right thing...

...but bringing her to this dangerous area was very irresponsible.

I have every right to let MIDORI see where the money I get for her support comes from.

Papa, I don't want to be the daughter of a thief.

I didn't say anything. She guessed...

I was going to start a new life with the reward.

All by yourself?

I would have told you.

I've decided to help the Cosmos.

There's nothing else to say.

And if I agree...

Then we'll have room for discussion.

Mothra is almost here! Hurry, we must leave!

Hey! Are you okay?!

MIDORI!

Cosmos, please stop Mothra from attacking us...

...and I'll teach my papa that stealing is a bad thing to do!

Don't you feel ashamed to have put your child through this?

We understand, okay? Don't cry anymore.

Please bake us to where we can see Mothra.

Sir, we have a call. It's the commander.

Roger.

It's stopped fighting. It seems to be searching.

Mothra, we are here. We are alright now.

Please do not worry. Will you behave?

Mothra understood us.

Thank you, Mothra.

Mothra!

Fire!

Don't!

Stop!

There are still people in the hotel!

Cease fire!

Is Mothra dying?

Where is it going?

It's headed for the Diet Building!

Professor! Mothra is no longer our concern!

What's this? The pressure of the magma has increased dramatically?

Inform the command...

...that within one hour, no, in thirty minutes, we could have volcano activity!

Is Mothra going to die?

Mothra will not die. It is completing its larva stage.

Larva stage?

Look! The Environmental Bureau... stole our property!

Sir, don't you understand yet?

Mothra and the Cosmos have a special mission!

If we misuse them for our own purposes...

...Marutomo and everything else will be destroyed!

Marutomo?!

What are you saying, bastard?

Mount Fuji is erupting

Stop, please.

Hang on!

Hurry! - Yes!

What did you say?!

Infant Island, now Mount Fuji...

Why... Why is this happening only to us?

Because the earth is angry.

Your head...

Did you hit it in the fall?

I'm not crazy...

It is you who is the insane fool!

You're fired...

Get the hell out of here!

I'll leave...

The monsters will destroy you...

...and you'll pay for threatening the earth's life force!

The earth's life force?

Make me pay?!

How can that be?!

How can it...?

How can it...?!

Godzilla...

Oh, no...

Main screen, on!

Godzilla!

How did it get here?

It probably traveled beneath the earth's mantle.

It must have broke through Mt. Fuji's mantle to get out.

That's ridiculous!

The temperature beneath the mantle is fifteen-hundred degrees!

It is far beyond our comprehension.

Switch to emergency power.

Miss Saegusa? It's Godzilla! Godzilla has appeared!

Commander! Godzilla has appeared!

What?!

Is it Godzilla?

It came out of Mount Fuji!

It's incredible!

Now, it's headed for East Tanazawa.

Mama, look!

It's pretty!

Mothra is going to fight Battra again.

You mean, Battra isn't dead?

Battra from the sea... Godzilla from the mountain...

Our self-defense force...?

Our forces will focus on pushing Godzilla southward.

It's possible we can steer it into the Sagami Bay.

Godzilla is heading for the Yokohama area. We ask that everyone evacuate the area now.

Godzilla will pass through the Nishi and Kanagawa area...

My god...! What can we use to stop it?!

Godzilla!

Look! It's Mothra!

Look out, Mothra!

Hurry! Get out of there!

What's that?

Godzilla's flame is reflecting back from it!

That's Mothra's most powerful weapon!

Oh, no!

Look out!

Battra went to help Mothra!

Now, Mothra and Battra both understand.

Incredible!

Mothra and Battra have joined forces! They will try to defeat Godzilla!

Godzilla is...

They did it!

Huh? They seem to be talking to each other!

Yes... I wonder what they're saying?

Yes, what?

Battra!

Battra is hurt!

Keep holding it! Good luck!

They did it!

They're really doing it!

What are you saying?

A huge meteor will strike the earth at the end of the 20th century?

I can't believe it!

Battra was supposed to wake up when the time came.

So, will this meteor destroy the earth?

Yes...

Battra's mission was to protect the earth...

...by destroying the meteor when it was in range.

But now, Battra is dead...

And now Mothra is going to stop it?

The meteor is still far off in deep space.

When it finds it, Mothra will change its course away from the earth.

Why is it trying to save us, after all we've done to it?

Because Mothra promised Battra to complete its mission.

Promised?

Right, the time they were speaking...

Until next time...

Goodbye!

Goodbye!

When earth's next millennium begins...

...please take a moment to think about Mothra and us.

Isn't Mothra going to come back?

It'll return, someday.

Until then, it's up to us to save the earth, okay?
