What was that?

Yes? Southern Sea Salvage,

Ogata speaking.

What?

Right, I understand.

As soon as possible.

Emiko, I'm sorry...

What is it? An accident?

The Coast Guard received

a distress call.

I'll have to cancel

our date tonight.

I'm sorry I can't go with you,

but you can still see it

if you hurry.

It's a shame, but it's your job.

Well, you'd better hurry.

Southern Sea Steamship Company

vessel, the "Eiko-maru,"

a 7,500-ton freighter,

was reported lost...

on August 13 at 19:05 hours.

Its last position,

latitude 24 degrees north,

longitude 141.02 degrees east.

Contact was lost

for unknown reasons.

All units in sectors 3 and 4

stand by for action!

Thank you for calling me.

Thank you again.

What could have happened?

We have no idea.

It seems like there was

a sudden explosion.

Communications suddenly halted

shortly after we received

their SOS.

Well, the "Bingo-maru" is

approaching the area now.

We'll learn more soon enough.

They are here.

Certainly. The "Eiko-maru" and

"Bingo-maru" are both owned

by the Southern Sea

Steamship Company.

Yes. They don't know how.

Can't you tell us

if any survivors were seen?

Please wait a little longer.

We have a helicopter and two

ships searching the area now.

We won't be sure of anything

until we get their report.

Excuse me,

why not send more ships?

Two ships are not enough

for this!

No, we're not limiting

the search party to two ships.

We'll make every effort

to conduct a thorough search.

Until then, please be patient.

Hey!

Help us, please!

We're here! Hang in there!

It was incredible.

The ocean just blew up!

Blew up?

So far, three survivors were

picked up by a fishing boat.

They are being taken

to Odo Island.

We have sent the vessel "Kotaka"

to assist them.

Which ship

were the survivors from...

the "Eiko-maru"

or the "Bingo-maru"?

We are still investigating,

but their names will be released

soon enough.

I hope the three men know

what happened.

We need to know more

about the accidents.

Just a moment! Please, wait!

What's the matter?

I can't believe it.

I just can't believe it!

The fishing boat sank

the same way.

News desk! Ah, Mr. Yamana?

Mr. Yamana, the other search

boat was sunk!

In the same area... yes.

Yes, in the same way!

We're tired of hearing

the same thing!

Please tell us what happened!

Please give us a chance

to investigate!

Don't you know what's going on?

I'm sorry,

but you must be patient!

Wait, please wait!

A drifting sea mine, or an

underwater volcanic eruption?

One shipwreck after another!

I can't imagine,

could it be a volcano?

Izuma! Is there something

out there?

Ah, it's a raft!

Hey, there's a raft out there!

A raft is coming this way!

A raft is coming!

Hey! Over here!

Build up the fire!

Build up the fire!

It's Masaji! It's Masaji!

Masaji!

Masaji! Hold on! Masaji!

Hang on!

Brother!

Masaji! Masaji!

Masaji!

He did it...

What?!

A monster...

What did this?!

Masaji! What did this?!

It's no good!

We didn't catch anything!

It can't get any worse

than this!

Then...

Godzilla must have done it.

The old man and Godzilla,

both relics from days past!

Hey! What do you know

about the old days?!

If you all keep thinking

like that,

you'll all become prey

for Godzilla!

Anyhow, there must be

some kind of animal in the sea.

That's why

we can't catch anything.

But a creature that big would...

I knew it was stupid

to open my mouth!

I try to tell you all,

but nobody listens!

Shinkichi, let's go.

Ah, sir! Sir, sir!

Godzilla?

It's the name of a monster

that lives in the sea.

It will come from the ocean

to feed on humankind to survive.

In the old days, during times

when the fishing was poor,

we used to sacrifice girls

to prevent him

from eating us all, yes!

Now, this exorcism ceremony

is all that remains

of the old traditions.

Godzilla?

Shinkichi!

Shinkichi! Stay inside!

Shinkichi!

Shinkichi!

Brother!

Brother! Run, brother!

Brother! Run, brother!

Hey, hey!

Shinkichi, what's wrong?!

Brother!

Odo Island Representatives

Mr. Ooyama.

There have been 17 houses

destroyed with nine deaths...

I have heard that there

were other damages.

Could you please tell us

how bad they are?

Odo Island Village Mayor,

Mr. Inada.

Certainly, of course.

Twelve cows and eight pigs died.

I'm not lying!

It was hard to see in the dark,

but it was an animal!

I know it goes

against common sense,

but the more I think about it,

the more I am convinced

that it was definitely not

a normal hurricane.

The way the houses

and helicopter were destroyed,

it seems as if they were crushed

from above!

Now, finally,

we will hear the opinion

of expert paleontologist

Professor Kyohei Yamane.

I suppose my opinion

is a bit premature

before a thorough investigation,

but we are all aware of

the discovery in the Himalayas

of the alleged

"snowman footprints."

It is a mystery

we have yet to solve.

The earth has many deep pockets,

abyssal regions

that contain secrets

we have yet to discover.

For this incident,

I request the formation

of a fact-finding party

for a full investigation.

Good Luck,

Odo Island Research Party!

Good-bye!

We'll see you soon!

It was surprising to see

Dr. Serizawa at our departure.

He rarely leaves his laboratory.

I don't know if he believes

this will be our finaljourney.

Well, what could go wrong?

Of course, we can avoid

dangerous waters,

but anything can happen.

For the time being,

please don't use the water

from this well.

It's dangerous.

This is horrible!

We can't use the well anymore?

Professor, if there was

radioactive fallout,

wouldn't the wells on the other

side of the island be affected?

Yes. Why is it that the wells

in this area

were the only ones affected?

It doesn't make any sense.

Mr. Hagiwara, I think

this depression might be

the footprint of a creature.

Would you agree with me?

Is that true, Professor?

This footprint is radioactive.

Everybody, it's very dangerous

here! Please step back!

Step back! Step back!

Emiko, look!

It's a trilobite!

A three-lobed creature that has

long since been extinct!

Professor!

You shouldn't be touching that!

Professor, what is that thing?

This is...

an incredible discovery!

It's on the other side

of the hill!

It's on the other

side of the hill!

Father!

What is it?

Tanabe, I saw it!

A creature

from the Jurassic Period!

Where is it?

Emiko! Emiko!

Emiko!

Father!

This way! This way!

This way! This way!

What is that?

Those are footprints.

About 2 million years ago,

this brontosaurus

and these other dinosaurs

roamed the earth

during a period

the experts called Jurassic.
