Original subtitles

Are you sure he's going to come?

Don't want to disappoint a big-shot reporter.

I've run out of my budget already.

Io, do you read me?

Roger, loud and clear.

West 18 degrees.

Roger.

What's that?

Density changes in plasma are captured on the monitor.

It expresses voltage irregularity.

In other words, when a charge fluctuation occurs on the surface,

the plasma in the air will be induced to the ground,

and the plasma and the tremor in the ground become linked.

- In short, it's a seismometer. - And what do you figure out with it?

You are slow, Auntie.

Auntie?

The seismic center does not move.

If it moves constantly...

It's coming, isn't it, Dad?

It's here, it's coming...

We still can't contact the Ocean Queen.

Maybe they headed to a different port because of this fog.

Or maybe they're having problems with their radio.

GODZILLA 2000 MILLENNIUM

Recently, the ocean seems unsettled.

All we can do is drink, isn't it, brother?

What are you saying?

You're always drunk. Look, it's closing time.

It's an earthquake!

If you want to get out, get out now.

Don't worry about me. You should worry about your girl.

Io is my partner.

We're going in.

Too close.

Dad, faster! Faster!

- Thank you very much. - Thank you.

Not everyone can be head of the CCI and be so young.

Besides, you're the director of the information department.

- It went up to Level 3. - Excuse me.

- Level3? - Yes.

Are you saying it landed?

At Nemuro.

Get ready to dispatch the National Guard.

The area is very stormy. It would be difficult to dispatch.

Daisaku!

Io! Keep steady.

- A little off. -It's not!

Why don't you take some photos?

That's what you came here for, right?

I really didn't want to cover this kind of story.

I've had enough!

You better replace the film.

Run! Fast!

Godzilla seems to hate energy sources that humans created.

Ibaraki Prefecture Kashima Nada-eki Japan Trench

Last surfacing unit sensor, installation complete.

Depth is 5,300 feet. Heading to the right at 10 degrees.

It's like a forest of chimneys.

What's that?

You said I would work on a computer magazine after Nemuro.

We can't make stories without pictures.

Even with the slightest radiation,

the film will get ruined. Continue working on Godzilla.

I have to deal with that family again?

- Don't complain. - I have a headache.

Is this Kimura from Matsushima?

- This is Shinoda from Tokyo. - Hi.

The data you just sent me...

Yes,

the temperature of the sea water off Kinkazan, at 38 degrees and 15 minutes,

is a little higher.

- Here, you have to grab it really tight. - Okay.

Excuse me, is the Godzilla Prediction Network here?

Yeah.

Okay, if you can follow this... Turn left there,

and then turn right.

Turn left, and then turn right.

- Keep working, you. - Sorry.

Anyway, turn left there.

- You see? - Yes.

What's wrong?

- Excuse me, lchinose here. - How about the radiation rate?

- How about the seismometer? - Excuse me?

Here is a contract you need to sign before we continue.

"Membership, 200,000 yen, plus 50,000 a month"?

- What's this? - We are like a corporation.

Every sponsor predicts the damage that Godzilla will make,

and makes a donation and plans our corporate strategy.

I'm not planning to be a member of your Godzilla club, you see?

I just want to continue my work.

If you want to continue your work, you need to be a member.

Mr. Shinoda!

I'm in charge of managing this club.

Right now, we have a promotional offer.

How about this plan with an extra discount?

Crisis Management Information Center (CCI)

The meteorite is highly magnetic.

The material could replace uranium as a new energy source.

Meteorite.

Probably. If we can tie this discovery to clean energy,

it will be worthwhile for CCI to put in the effort.

All balloons inflated.

Aqualift system, stand by.

Stand by to commence lifting.

Roger.

All ships commence lifting.

It's going up too fast! It's going up on its own.

What the...

In Nemuro, northeasterly wind, wind speed 9...

Godzilla Close-Up Photo Revealed

In Urakawa, northwesterly wind, wind speed 3...

- Dinner's ready! - Okay.

...southwesterly wind, wind speed 3, cloudy...

GPN Center.

Hold on, please. It's outpost 2031.

That'll be Sonora from Fukushima.

Hi, I've been observing slight earthquakes since this evening.

And the source is moving south.

Young master, Godzilla again? Let me help.

- Please. - Sure.

- There you go. - Okay.

Jeez, you smell.

No, your breath.

- See you tomorrow. - Thank you. Bye.

Hello?

The source of the earthquake is moving?

- Thank you very much. - You call this the "extra-discount" plan?

You never told me I have to provide transportation for you.

Unit 1, stand by.

Unit 2, cease drilling.

We've drilled holes into the rock,

but we hit something solid. So we stopped the excavation.

What does our analysis tell us about this object?

The core is about 60 to 70 million years old.

How come it floats on water?

It shouldn't float.

But if it's floating on its own...

On its own?

It could be a living creature from outer space.

Level 1 confirmed.

This is Katagiri. Okay.

- I will be right there. - Is it Godzilla?

According to the ocean floor sensor, it's heading south of ibaraki.

I will leave you in charge here.

He is moving south...

At this rate...

He'll reach the nuclear plant at Tokai.

Probably.

What happens if the nuclear plant gets destroyed?

This is Katagiri at Crisis Management.

Godzilla is heading for Tokai.

Shut down all your reactors immediately.

I can't. I don't have the authority.

You do now. And as head of the Crisis Control agency,

I'm giving you authorization.

Now shut down those reactors!

Red alert! Red alert!

Shut down all reactors immediately!

- This is not a drill! - Reactor 1 shut down!

- Reactor 2 shut down! - Clear all circuits!

Clear all circuits!

Godzilla is headed for Tokai on the east coast of ibaraki.

The government is holding an emergency cabinet meeting

and they're sending the army to the presumed landing spot.

Why don't we observe from a safer spot?

If you want to climb Mt. Everest,

would you be satisfied with Mt. Tsukuba just because it's safer?

- Here comes Katagiri. - Katagiri?

Deputy Secretary of the Interior, head of the CCI.

Long time no see, Professor Shinoda.

I quit researching at the university a long time ago.

I know. You and Miyasaka were a fine team.

You should've come with him when I established CCI.

Not in 1000 years. Our ideas are too different.

What's wrong with killing Godzilla?

Godzilla needs to be studied for biological science.

He's a rare creature. He's a gold mine of mystery.

Studying him will lead to solving those mysteries.

So you let him destroy cities?

Of course not. That's why I created the network.

We predict his next movement

and keep the damage at a minimum.

Why don't you join us? I will give you discount.

This is the end of your network.

Shutting down the reactors isn't enough!

You have to shut down all energy sources around this area!

I'm General Tanaka of the 1st Division. I'm in charge here.

You really think you can kill Godzilla?

It's moving!

Tank 0530 ready in position.

Tank 0530 ready in position.

As we know from experience,

when Godzilla is attacked, he advances instead of retreating.

We can use his aggressiveness to lure him to the mouth of the river.

It's no use if citizens get hurt.

We thought about it thoroughly.

What if he doesn't do as we planned and he heads toward the nuclear plant?

In that case, the Blast Bomb we buried underground

will stop Godzilla from going toward the plant.

Suppose we stop him and corner him in the river. Then what?

We've developed a new advanced weapon.

It's not like a traditional missile.

It's a new generation of full-metal missiles.

It's so powerful, I guarantee it'll go through Godzilla's tough skin.

- Io. - Yes?

So, what now?

Take lo and go observe from a safe distance.

- What about you? - I'll stay here for Godzilla.

Katagiri's determined to kill him.

Godzilla Will not like this.

He's coming. Get going!

Lock on target. Be ready to fire.

Wait till he gets closer.

Fire!

All units, pull back!

Full-metal missiles, fire!

I was right. It's following the sun.

If we keep...

What will happen?

Io!

Target in sight.

Target in sight. Engaging now.

A call for you, sir.

- This is Katagiri. -It's Miyasaka.

The rock's gone! It just flew away!

What's that?

I thought we were going to the beach.

I thought we were going to catch bugs.

What were you all thinking?

What in the world?

What was that gigantic flying object?

If that thing didn't come, we could have...

ibaraki-ken Kashima-shi Kitaura

This way! This way!

Here we go!

It's logical to think that this vessel came from another galaxy.

Why the deep ocean?

For 60 million years?

This is just a theory,

but that object draws its energy from light.

When it landed, it sank to the bottom of the ocean where sunlight couldn't penetrate.

But when the research sub beamed its light on it, it woke up.

It could be dangerous to mankind.

It defeated Godzilla.

It must have fierce destructive force.

But I heard it's been inactive for a while.

We have to take counter-measures.

Scan and analyze the object.

If there is an alien in there, there should be a vital signs.

Move her up another 20 degrees.

What about Godzilla?

Nothing so far. The Marine Corps is still sweeping the area.

Hey, back up! Back up!

All units, keep 300 meters away from the target.

Sensors in scanning mode. Stand by. Over.

Begin sensor scanning.

There are no vital signs.

But there is some density.

Either liquid or gas...

How could this thing be flying in the sky?

I have to say that their technology is more advanced than ours.

Professor Miyasaka, a call for you.

This is Miyasaka. What?

Shinoda wants to see me.

He wants to use CCl's state-of-the-art equipment to analyze Godzilla.

- Sir, any comment on the spaceship? - Not at the moment.

The object is not showing signs of movement.

Any idea if it could be dangerous? Sir? Sir?

Is there any possibility that it will start moving again?

Yuki!

Since when are we on a first-name basis?

How about you pretend to be my porter and you can keep working on this?

At least call me your assistant.

This is odd.

It turned on by itself.

Maybe you're connected to a cell phone.

- No. - Then how could it be showing this data?

To be blunt, you're the last man I'd ask for a favor.

Where is Godzilla now?

I want to ask you the same question.

You can use the CCI equipment under one condition.

You share all the data you find about Godzilla with us.

It's a deal.

- We're going back to Tokyo. - This data was hacked from my computer...

It's the Godzilla file.

Then what's gonna happen to the Godzilla network if you do that?

Don't worry. Just bring me the disk with the info.

And check my summer homework. I'm almost done.

Shucks. Okay, bring that too.

These photos are from a Godzilla skin sample I found in Tokai.

The first one shows clear signs of scar tissue,

but the second one is completely clear of damage.

Are they the same piece of skin?

Yes. The photos were taken only five hours apart.

That's a remarkable healing speed.

Every layer of skin, every cell, every blood vessel...

They're all intact.

What a creature Godzilla is.

The question is, how can all these cells regenerate?

Maybe it has something to do with the radioactive properties in his body.

- Let's put it under the microscope. - Okay.

This is it.

It's like watching the process of a miracle...

Cell recovery and reformation.

A life-form which supports both function.

It's like watching the source of creation.

We can be its godparents.

You discovered it.

You should name it.

Let me think...

Regenerator G-1.

Regenerator G-1.

- The clouds are clearing, sir. - Don't panic.

That thing's tied down with electromagnetic cables.

Even if it wakes up, it's not going anywhere.

If Regenerator G-1 is the secret of Godzilla's healing ability,

then we're on to something monumental.

It could revolutionize modern medicine.

It would be wonderful if we could do that.

This is only a fraction of Godzilla's miracle.

It's like we're back together at university.

Why did you resign?

I couldn't take it anymore. It had gotten too unethical.

We were doing the research for all the wrong reasons.

Come in.

Excuse me, sir.

A girl named lo Shinoda is here to visit.

Did you bring 'em?

It tore the electromagnetic cables.

Good job.

I couldn't let them destroy our network.

But they'll find out soon. They're your own disks, right?

- Shall we run? - Yeah.

Shinoda!

The UFO just flew away again!

The UFO is currently flying over Yotsukaido.

Liquid or gas.

Could there be such a living thing?

It's been sleeping for over 60 million years,

and it must have been living a long time before coming to Earth.

I can't conceive of a life-form that could survive for 60 million years.

Research heli, too close!

Look! Up there!

We will extend the broadcasting time to continue...

Today, around 5:20 p.m. at Makuhari, Chiba,

three helicopters from CCI were shot down by an unknown flying object.

All six crew members were killed in the attack.

What alien space vessel?

...residents need to be very cautious...

Good heavens!

Government officials ordered to dispatch the National Guard to deal with UFO.

What is it?

Get out!

It's a scoop! Let's go to the rooftop!

- No time! - Run!

Get going!

Rooftop!

What's the matter with you?

It's the scoop of the century!

Close off all streets around City Tower.

- Evacuate everyone in there, now! - Right away, sir.

All aircraft away from the 5-mile radius.

This is now military airspace.

Team 2 will start leading.

Come on, let's go!

Now that there are casualties,

we must do whatever we can to destroy the UFO quickly.

Thank God it's going to be dark soon.

But when the morning comes, it will be active again.

What's tomorrow's forecast?

Sunny and clear, sir.

We have to use the Blast Bomb...

We've got to destroy that thing tonight.

When is it gonna fly?

I'm tired of waiting.

All roads leading to this area are currently closed to traffic.

An evacuation order was issued for Shinjuku, Nishi-Shinjuku,

from blocks 1st through 6th...

This is like we are seeing the end of the world...

A giant flying saucer that appeared in the sky above Tokyo is still perched atop City Tower,

as if to challenge mankind.

This object is looking down on us as if trying to rule our world.

Hacked again?

All computers in the Shinjuku area have gone down, sir.

- Isolate our main computer. - Yes, sir.

The anti-hacking program has crashed too.

The main computer at KDl has also gone down.

What's happening?

Where is Miyasaka?

- Try the infrared filter. - Yes, sir.

Tentacles!

It's hacking City Tower's supercomputer.

It's collecting data from us!

Use the linkage tracer to visualize the access route.

Yes, sir.

Chief, this will be a threat to the whole world.

What have we done?

We woke up such a horrible thing!

Human invasion under the name of science,

reckless curiosity...

If CCI hadn't done it, somebody else would.

Am I one of those reckless scientists?

Am I?

- The engineers have just left, sir. - Good.

Team 2 surrounding UFO and standing by.

Oxygen rate slowly declining.

Regeneration balance collapsing.

How long do you need to set up the bombs?

About half an hour.

- And to pull out? - Ten minutes. That should be plenty.

Hello?

Finally, I got through.

- Yuki? - Guess where I am.

In a few minutes, I should know what they're after.

No! Are you in the City Tower? Get out of there immediately.

They're trying to change the atmosphere.

I know. But I can't leave just yet. Why are they so interested in Godzilla?

I'll find the answer.

Hello? Hello?

Such a troublesome assistant!

We're on the 51st floor.

We'll start setting the bombs.

Hey! Stop! Wait! Stop the car!

Stop!

Let me go! Mom's in there!

I wanna see my mom!

Let me go! Her mother's inside.

Hurry up and go, Shinoda.

This building will be blown up soon.

- But... -it's Miyasaka's order.

What are you doing? Get out!

- I'm getting to know what the aliens want. - We have to get out first.

Pretty soon they're gonna blow up this place.

- Go on! Move! - How about you?

I'm right behind you. I got to get this out.

Go find a guard and ask him to tell Katagiri to postpone the blast.

Hurry UP!

Dad, don't be too long, okay?

I promise.

Hurry, hurry...

Blast Bomb's in place. All units pulling out now.

Detonation at 21 :10 precisely.

Check. Detonation at 21 :10.

All units, detonation at 21:10.

- Radio. - Sir.

Two people are still inside the tower, sir.

Who gave them access?

I did, sir.

Clear the area immediately. No delays.

Wait!

- Stop. - Yes, sir.

Don't blow up the building yet! My dad's on the 48th floor!

Contact Katagiri at CCI and tell him to delay the blast.

There's someone left inside the building! Postpone the detonation.

Proceed as instructed.

It's Shinoda in there, sir.

I'm not changing the plan.

Millennium?

Too late. We got to go. Follow me.

- Daddy! -lo, wait!

Let me go! I've got to save him!

No, it's too late. You can't go in there!

Don't do it!

It's a dead end.

I hear something.

Io!

Daddy!

I survived anyhow.

They want to change our atmosphere to make it suitable to them.

The key word is...

Millennium.

What does it mean?

1000-year empire.

They want to build their own empire on Earth.

But they needed more information. Look.

Why are they so interested in Godzilla?

Did you bring your homework?

Give a form to something without form.

Regenerator G-1?

Godzilla's entered Tokyo Bay!

What if we just shut down all the electricity in Tokyo?

If there's no power, maybe he'll just go away.

- No, it's no use. - I agree.

There's only one thing in Godzilla's mind right now...

That's right.

It's revenge.

Look!

Tentacles!

Look at that. It's Regenerator G-1.

- What happened? -It's Regenerator G-1.

Seems like the alien cannot adopt it.

Get the fire extinguishers! Put out the fire!

Look at that.

It's trying to become a Godzilla clone.

It's ironic...

It regained its own body by using Godzilla,

and then it was destroyed by Godzilla the very next day.

Yeah.

Godzilla's coming!

Run!

Get out of here!

Run!

Katagiri!

Get out!

I've never seen him so close...

- Run! - Leave me!

Hurry!

Daddy!

Godzilla!

Katagiri!

We scientists produced this monster.

Godzilla.

Why did you show yourself?

A monster humans have created.

Godzilla exists inside each one of us.
