Godzilla, King of the Monsters! Page #4

Synopsis: When American reporter Steve Martin investigates a series of mysterious disasters off the coast of Japan, he comes face to face with an ancient creature so powerful and so terrifying, it can reduce Tokyo to a smoldering graveyard. Nuclear weapon testing resurrected this relic from the Jurassic age, and now it's rampaging across Japan. At night, Godzilla wades through Tokyo leaving death and destruction in his wake, disappearing into Tokyo Bay when his rage subsides. Coventional weapons are useless against him; but renowned scientist Dr. Serizawa has discovered a weapon that could destroy all life in the bay -- including Godzilla. But which disaster is worse, Godzilla's fury, or the death of Tokyo Bay?

which is probably the only weapon

which could destroy Godzilla.

- What is it?

- I promised Dr. Serizawa...

never to reveal his secret to anyone.

Emiko...

Emiko, last night

Tokyo was destroyed.

Tomorrow it might be

Osaka or Yokohama.

If you can help, you must.

[ Emiko ]

When I went to see Dr. Serizawa...

I had intended to tell him

about Ogata and me...

but there was something

he wanted to show me first.

[ Japanese ]

[ Screams ]

[ Emiko ] Dr. Serizawa had been

experimenting with oxygen...

when he came upon

a terrible chemical discovery -

a way to destroy

all oxygen in water...

thereby disintegrating

all living matter.

An amount no larger

than a baseball...

could turn Tokyo Bay

into a graveyard.

Serizawa had found

a terrible destructive power...

and until he could find

a counteracting good...

that would come

from this discovery...

he didn't want the world

to know his secret.

[ Japanese ]

[ Liquid Bubbling ]

He made me promise

never to tell what I had seen.

[ Ogata ]

Emiko, we need Serizawa's help.

There's no other way.

If I could only see him...

just talk to him.

Perhaps I can change his mind.

Ogata will go with me.

Whatever you do, Emiko,

you mustn't fail.

[ Ogata ]

Serizawa-san.

Sit down.

Doctor, I know of

your Oxygen Destroyer.

- We must have it.

- I don't know what you are talking about!

I broke my promise, Serizawa.

I told Steve Martin and Ogata.

They both agree.

You must use your Oxygen Destroyer

against Godzilla. [ Sobbing ]

- No.

- [ Ogata ] Serizawa-san!

Serizawa-san!

- Ah, Serizawa-san!

- Let go!

- We must have the formula! We must!

- Let go!

Please stop!

- [ Men Shouting ]

- [ Glass Clattering ]

[ Emiko Screams ]

[ Ogata ]

Serizawa-san!

Ogata-san!

[ Serizawa ]

Ogata-san!

Sorry, Ogata.

The Oxygen Destroyer

cannot be used.

If we don't defend ourselves

from Godzilla now...

what will become of us?

And what will become of us

if a weapon such as I now have...

falls into the wrong hands?

Then you have a responsibility

no man has ever faced.

You have your fear,

which might become reality...

and you have Godzilla,

which is reality.

[ Gasps ]

[ Man On TV ] Attention.

Attention, people of Japan.

At this moment,

a nationwide prayer...

is being observed for the survivors

of devastated Tokyo.

The voices of our children

are raised in a prayer...

for the courage to surmount

the destruction of today...

and look forward with hope...

for peace and light.

[ Girls' Choir:
Japanese ]

[ Continues ]

[ Continues ]

[ Continues ]

[ Continues ]

[ TV Switches Off ]

Have you decided?

Yes. But this must be

the only time...

the Oxygen Destroyer

will be used.

[ Sobbing ]

- [ Geiger Counter Clicking ]

- [ Steve Narrating ] The boat...

finding the location of Godzilla...

the Oxygen Destroyer -

all these have been accomplished.

Serizawa insisted upon helping

Ogata place the weapon.

[ Man ]

And now the divers are descending.

We ask the whole world

to stand by.

They have reached the bottom.

[ Shouting In Japanese ]

Serizawa!

Serizawa! Serizawa!

[ Man ]

One diver is up. It is Ogata.

Dr. Serizawa has not yet

started his ascent.

[ Excited Chattering ]

[ Water Churning Loudly ]

Serizawa! Serizawa-san!

[ Japanese ]

Serizawa-san!

Ogata, it is working!

Live happily with Emiko.

Good-bye.

Serizawa!

Pull the line up!

Answer me! Serizawa!

Serizawa!

[ Bellowing ]

[ People Murmuring ]

People of the world,

Godzilla is dead.

Give us strength to rebuild

our beloved land.

[ Weeping ]

He said, Be happy together."

[ Sobbing ]

[ Steve Narrating ]

The menace was gone.

So was a great man.

But the whole world

could wake up and live again.

[ Thunderous Pounding ]

[ Pounding Continues ]
