Terror of Mechagodzilla (メカゴジラの逆襲)

TERROR OF MECHAGODZILLA

Sir, we will arrive at the ocean boundary shortly.

Prepare to submerge the submarine before we reach the ocean boundary.

Roger. Begin submersion, depth 250!

Beginning submersion, depth 250.

The scattered remains of Mechagodzilla should be found within this area.

It would be in our best interest to collect the head. Be as careful as possible.

I understand.

Depth, 250!

Switch to deep sea scanning!

Searchlight!

Begin procedures!

That's strange... Our analysis equipment is having no reaction.

There are no traces of space-titanium within a 500 meter radius.

Even if there wasn't any wreckage, we should have received some kind of reaction by now.

It's not within the radius of this area?

We show absolutely nothing.

Mechagodzilla's remains must be...

What is it? Blow the main tanks!

It's no use!

Base! Base! We're in trouble!

Certainly, the ocean exploration research ship was in its experimental stages.

But I cannot believe the accident was caused by a design flaw or some kind of technical error.

What has become of the wreckage?

Well, it appears that a powerful form of energy ripped the submarine to pieces.

Ripped it apart?

It wasn't an explosion?

I'm sure of it.

He's right, Boss.

Take a look at this.

A flying saucer?

That's what we've concluded.

The cinema crew that took this photo swore it was taken on the day it sank.

We cannot say what it is yet, but we need to be very cautious now.

I'm Ichinose from the Ocean Exploration Research Institute.

- Hey, Ichinose! - Hey, old buddy!

You two know each other?

Yes, we went college together.

Really? Well, well... have a seat. Right.

We were waiting for you.

Thanks...

Now that we are all here...

I want you to listen to the data from this voice recorder.

Answer us! Answer us, please!

Base! Base! Answer us!

Ah! A fish! It's coming for us!

No, it's not a fish!

It's a dinosaur!

A dinosaur?

Replay that again.

No, it's not a fish! It's a dinosaur!

A dinosaur!

He definitely said "dinosaur"...

You're from the marine institute, what do you think?

I don't believe it...

Commander, sorry to keep you waiting.

How was your trip?

Earth vehicles are so horrible.

Thousands of hours of space flight could not compare to one hour in their inferior vehicles.

Incredible...

But they will soon tremble before our might.

So, this is Tokyo...

This city is the very essence of what is wrong with the Earth.

Ignoring the pollution and destruction they've created and not knowing what to do about it...

I do not understand them...

This is what will become of Tokyo...

Our city will be built once we've destroyed the old one...

And the preparations? They're going forward as planned.

The base on our third planet is being pulled in by the black hole.

We must relocate to the Earth. We cannot allow failure...

Commander, it might be useful to hire some earthlings.

Earthlings?!

A science instructor, Dr. Shinzo Mafune.

He is an extraordinary earthling that may benefit our cause.

Can you trust him?

As long as we keep his daughter alive.

Besides, Dr. Mafune hates his fellow earthlings!

And why is that?

Twenty years ago, Dr. Mafune was the top scientist in his field.

His research was more advanced than the others and he was punished for it...

Dr. Mafune studied at this institute. He was a brilliant biologist...

Thirty years ago, he published a plan about the idea of undersea exploration...

This plan caught the world's attention...

He also tested ways in which he could control animals...

But many of these tests were unsuccessful...

One day, he issued a report on the discovery a dinosaur living at the bottom of Ogasawara Bay...

The doctor named the dinosaur, Titanosaurus...

He was sure he would be able to control it...

In the end, it changed the Doctor's life...

And about 15 years ago...

he ended his studies at the institute.

It was said that he left because he pushed himself too hard...

Mr. Oota, what did you think of Dr. Mafune's studies?

To control animals scientifically...

As a human being, I don't think we have the right to wield such power.

I will always be opposed to it...

Sir, where does Dr. Mafune live?

He used to live in Manazuru. I don't know where he is now.

Really? Thank you very much.

Mafune, huh? Oh, the lunatic that lives in the mansion!

You're right. His mansion is in the middle of that forest.

I haven't seen anyone there in a while...

And no one wants to go near that place!

There doesn't seem to be anyone here.

Is this Dr. Mafune's residence? Hey, wait!

Hello. Is this Dr. Mafune's residence?

I'd really like to see the Doctor. I'm...

He is dead.

He died?

Five years ago.

Excuse me... Excuse me, Miss!

I'm with the International Police Organization.

He's from the Ocean Exploration Research Institute.

I am Ichinose.

The truth is, we are interested in the Doctor's research on a dinosaur.

Do you know anything about it?

A Dinosaur?

We believe it was the cause of some attacks recently.

I'm sorry, but his office isn't here.

When father was alive, he did not speak about his work.

You don't have anything we can look at?

Did your father leave anything here from work?

I burned it all... when my father died.

Burned it?

Out of all of his notes, can you remember anything you could tell us?

Please forgive me...

I do not want to think about that incident.

That was strange... What was she so bothered about?

Congratulations, Doctor. This deserves a toast!

A toast!

Now that Titanosaurus' control is complete...

you've helped us make this a very happy occasion.

No, no... I could not have completed my research without your assistance.

Father, Interpol was just here.

- What? - Interpol?

They were interested in hearing about your research on dinosaurs.

Well, their interest is fifteen years too late...

Now I will make them all think! I'll show them my theory was correct!

I'll wipe out the fools of the world who thought I was mad! I'll show them all...!

Father...

Katsura, don't you worry about me...

Doctor, it's time to show you what you were working for.

Me?

It's for your revenge... The perfect weapon for you to use.

What in the world is that?

Mechagodzilla...

Mechagodzilla?

Then you're...

Yes...

We are spacemen from the Third Planet of the Black Hole.

After Godzilla had defeated Mechagodzilla the first time...

we pulled it from the ocean and began rebuilding it.

Doctor...

Let me introduce you to our commander, Mugal.

I've waited for this moment, Dr. Mafune...

What do you think of our science facilities?

This is a tremendous opportunity!

I am pleased that you think so.

Doctor, I have a favor to ask of you...

We would like you to give us the control device that you have invented.

With your Titanosaurus and our Mechagodzilla...

we would achieve our goals with little opposition.

A prisoner has escaped!

What?! Alright let's go!

It's alright. We will capture him before he reaches any other humans.

Did you really think you could escape? Fire!

Attaching weapons to the sub will slow it down.

Our current sonar's range is about 500 meters. We can try to expand it to 1 to 1.5 kilometers.

That way, we'll have an advanced warning before the dinosaur gets too close.

Originally, Titanosaurus was not considered an aggressive species.

It would not attack anything on its own.

We found this book while searching the area with Ichinose.

This is Dr. Mafune's notebook.

How about it, Wakayama... Will one kilometer be enough?

Let me look into it.

Not particularly aggressive?

Oh, thank you.

Sorry for calling you here so urgently.

Well, thank you. You didn't have to come.

The truth is, we've stumbled on some notes that were written by the Doctor.

Here they are.

I've noticed that the Doctor's and my own views were about the same.

Ichinose...

Please forget everything about the Titanosaurus.

Both the Doctor's and my findings are quite similar.

Who else could come to these conclusions?

But...

Katsura, we are investigating this matter.

Investigating?

Yes, we are preparing a second submarine.

You're going to investigate the dinosaur?

Yes. I was wondering if you would come along as well.

That way we could prove the Doctor's theory together.

Would you like to come along?

Stop, please! I beg of you!

I thought you would be pleased with what I was doing...

Katsura! Come with me!

Katsura, have you forgotten?

I understand what I did.

You shouldn't be saying anything to the humans you've met out there.
