Godzilla, King of the Monsters! Page #3

a product of the H-bomb...

it is my belief that Godzilla

was resurrected...

due to the repeated

experiments of H-bombs.

[ People Murmuring ]

[ Speaking Japanese ]

[ People Shouting ]

- [ Man ] Hello?

- Can you hear me okay, George?

[ George ]

You're comin' in clear.

Now, let's have it, Steve.

What about this monster story of yours?

Well, it's big and terrible...

more frightening

than I ever thought possible.

You realize your story's front-page

all over the country?

We want to know

what's being done about this monster.

Well, here's your headline:

Security Decides to Use

Depth Bomb on Godzilla."

Oh, that's fine.

But how can they use depth bombs

against something they can't even see?

Same way they look

for a submarine:
sonar.

Oh, they'll find him, all right.

The big question is,

will they kill him?

Well, stay on it, Steve,

and keep us posted.

I will. So long, George.

[ Phone Ringing ]

- Hello?

- [ Speaking Japanese ]

Steve, you are a better

newspaperman than a linguist.

It is good to hear from you.

I just got the message that you called.

Did you finish with your experiments?

Yes, I finished.

- Good. Let's have dinner tonight.

- Steve, make it tomorrow.

Emiko is coming over this evening,

and she said it was important.

- All right. I'll check with you tomorrow.

- That will be fine, Steve.

Sayonara.

[ Steve Narrating ] The marriage

between Emiko and Dr. Serizawa...

had been arranged

when they were both children.

And while Emiko wasn't in love

with the great scientist...

she had great respect

and admiration for him.

It proved difficult for her to tell him

she was going to marry Ogata.

- [ Radio ]

- It...

It's good to have you home,

Dr. Serizawa.

It is good to be back, Emiko.

I'm glad we have this time together.

There is something important

I must tell you.

[ Radio Switches Off ]

But there is something far more

important which I must show you.

Eh?

- Come with me.

- [ Murmurs Agreement ]

[ Machinery Humming, Clicking ]

[ Exclaims ]

[ Machine Whirring ]

Stand back!

[ Screams ]

Emiko-san!

The world must not know of this.

Promise to keep my secret.

[ Murmurs Agreement ]

I won't even tell my father.

What happened?

Nothing.

Nothing.

[ Explosion ]

[ Explosion ]

[ Explosions Continue ]

Father, what is it?

They are so wrong.

Godzilla should not be destroyed.

He should be studied.

Emiko...

please, leave me alone.

Hai.

[ Steve Narrating ] By the end

of the day, it was generally assumed...

that the underwater demolition

had ended...

the short but terrible reign

of Godzilla.

There was a feeling of relief

throughout Tokyo...

even celebration.

But both the hope

and celebration were short-lived.

[ People Screaming ]

Godzilla!

[ Screaming Continues ]

[ Panicked Shouting ]

[ Steve Narrating ]

Within minutes, the city was aware...

that Godzilla was inside Tokyo Harbor.

Among the people,

there was a state of panic.

[ Japanese ]

The military used every man

and machine available...

in an effort to stem

the oncoming terror.

- Has Emiko returned?

- [ Emiko] Hai.

- [ Klaxon Siren Sounds ]

- [ Thunderous Pounding ]

[ Japanese ]

[ Emiko ]

Ogata-san!

I couldn't tell Dr. Serizawa about us.

I understand, Emiko.

[ Siren Winds Down ]

[ Sirens Wailing ]

Let's go up on the hill.

[ Shouting In Japanese ]

[ People Screaming ]

[ Screaming, Shouting ]

- [ Man ] He's leaving!

- [ Roaring ]

[ Man #2 ]

But he will be back.

[ Steve Narrating ]

The damage had been severe...

but fortunately confined

to the dock section of the city.

Godzilla was still in Tokyo Bay...

and there was every reason

to believe he would return...

unless some means

was found to stop him.

[ Japanese ]

Steve.

- Hey, Steve.

- Hi, Tomo.

- What did you run out of the meeting for?

- Got to get this story off to the paper.

- Anything happen after I left?

- Yes.

They're making one last

big effort to stop him.

- And what's that?

- Come here. I'll show you.

Tokyo is surrounded

by high-tension electrical towers.

To get to the heart of the city...

Godzilla would have to break through

300,000 volts of electricity.

The officials are trying to have

everything ready by nightfall.

Now I must report back

to my station.

All right.

And thanks, Tomo.

- So long, Steve.

- Sayonara.

[ Steve Narrating ] The security officials

ordered a general evacuation...

of all nonessential personnel.

It was a monumental job,

but a job which had to be done.

[ Panicked Shouting ]

[ Man Over P.A. In Japanese ]

[ Steve Narrating ] By nightfall,

everyone was off the streets.

The news office commanded

a good view of Tokyo...

and was receiving all reports

directly from security headquarters.

This tape recording

is for George Lawrence...

United World News,

Chicago, U.S.A.

[ Steve Narrating ] Everyone remaining

in the city was on a watch-and-wait basis.

[ Steve Narrating ] Everyone remaining

in the city was on a watch-and-wait basis.

The wait was not a long one.

George, here in Tokyo, time has been

turned back two million years.

This is my report as it happens.

A prehistoric monster

the Japanese call Godzilla...

has just walked out of Tokyo Bay.

He's as tall as a 30-story building.

And now he's making his way

toward the city's main line of defense:

300,000 volts of electricity

strung around the city as a barrier...

a barrier against Godzilla.

[ Buzzer Sounds ]

[ Roaring ]

[ Roaring ]

I can hardly believe

what has just happened.

Now it seems Tokyo has no defense.

[ Roaring ]

[ Panicked Shouting ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Sirens Wailing ]

They're moving an entire tank corps

to point-blank firing range.

I'm saying a prayer, George -

a prayer for the whole world.

George, the tanks have been

wiped out by a wall of flames.

Neither man nor his machines

are able to stop this creature.

[ Screaming ]

[ Japanese ]

[ Japanese Continues Over Radio ]

[ Roaring ]

[ Shouts In Japanese ]

[ Man Screams ]

[ Panicked Shouting ]

[ Shouting Continues ]

[ Roaring ]

Godzilla has turned

the heart of Tokyo into a sea of fire.

Beneath the flames,

thousands lie dead or dying.

[ Tolling ]

[ Japanese ]

[ Roaring ]

[ Screaming ]

Nothing can save the city now.

Hi, Emiko.

You've been sleeping very nervously.

- Hello, Ogata.

- Hello, Steve.

Anything new develop?

[ Emiko ]

Nothing new will develop unless -

- [ Ogata ] Unless what?

- I was shown a terrible secret...
