00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00This story begins in the faraway Pacific, on a tiny island atoll, miles away from inhabited land,
00:01:15and used for testing the atomic and hydrogen bombs.
00:01:20Inside an unimposing-looking shelter such as this is housed the mightiest weapon of destruction known to man.
00:01:26Strategy teams composed of the finest military and scientific minds are finalizing their plans for Mission Gigantic,
00:01:33the explosion of this new 20th century weapon.
00:01:37The most complicated and sensitive instruments yet devised are brought into play for this all-important mission.
00:01:43And now on a battleship in the remote Pacific from which all shipping has been banned,
00:01:47the moment of command approaches.
00:01:49The seconds are running out.
00:01:52Minus 15 seconds.
00:01:54Minus 10 seconds.
00:01:58Niner, eight, seven, six, fiver, four, three, two, one, T-zero.
00:02:09And there you see it, the explosion of the mighty hydrogen bomb.
00:02:15Buildings disintegrate, concrete is reduced to powder, steel vaporizes, solids turn liquid, and liquids change into gas.
00:02:25Destruction is total and complete.
00:02:27And then the downward shockwave, like some gigantic and murderous hammer, pulverizing all that remains.
00:02:35The shock is recorded 10,000 miles away as the angry mushroom cloud advances toward the stratosphere.
00:02:41On another portion of the globe, the Air Force is engaged in the testing of a second bomb, even mightier than the Navy-tested bomb.
00:02:50The bomb bay doors are open.
00:02:52The bomb is in position.
00:02:53Target, a clustered semicircle of modern battleships.
00:02:56If all calculations are correct, in less than two minutes, there will be no ships at all below.
00:03:03Nothing but boiling sea and the sullen, fire-filled sky.
00:03:07Four, three, two, one, fire!
00:03:12On target.
00:03:18The kill is complete.
00:03:20But what have these tests done to Mother Earth?
00:03:24Can the human race continue to deliver these staggering blows without arousing somewhere in the depths of Earth a reaction, a counterattack, a horror still undreamed of?
00:03:35There are persons in the Japanese islands who believe that the horror has already been seen.
00:03:40What is the aftermath?
00:03:43This is the story of such an aftermath.
00:03:49These are the green volcanic mountains of Kyushu, the southernmost of Japan's great island provinces.
00:03:56Here, except when I went away to school, I have lived all my life.
00:04:01My name is Shigeru, and this is the village of Kitamatsu, where I was born.
00:04:06Kitamatsu is a mining community.
00:04:08Almost all of us who live here are dependents upon the mines for our livelihood.
00:04:14It was in our Kitamatsu mines that an unusual horror began.
00:04:19On a day that started much like any other day, with the men coming to work as always, and the roll call as always, and everything normal.
00:04:29Yet somehow you knew it wasn't normal.
00:04:32There was a feeling of uneasiness in the air.
00:04:36Take it back, Yoshi!
00:04:36Let me go!
00:04:37Get him!
00:04:38Hold it!
00:04:40Hold it!
00:04:42Stop it, I say!
00:04:43Yoshi, this is the third time this month.
00:04:46Once more and you're through.
00:04:48See?
00:04:48For good.
00:04:49Hmm.
00:04:50You'll both be through.
00:04:52This is my last warning, Goro.
00:04:53I had known Goro for a long while.
00:04:56His sister and I were planning to be married.
00:04:59It wasn't like him to fight on the job.
00:05:02It was just another example of that strange tension that was affecting us all.
00:05:07Each time the men boarded the trams, you could almost see it working in them.
00:05:11Goro and the others suddenly seemed afraid of the darkness.
00:05:17One thing that disturbed them was the fact that number eight mine was going too deep.
00:05:22Far deeper than any vein they had ever worked.
00:05:25It was becoming dangerous.
00:05:28On this deep level, the floor had lately been creeping.
00:05:31I analyzed the problem in the drafting room.
00:05:35And we knew that a creeping floor occurs when too much coal has been removed from between two strata of rock.
00:05:42We had to take up the pressure.
00:05:45Mr. Suda, my chief, came into the office.
00:05:48He seemed calm enough.
00:05:49But he was as anxious as we were to get the problem solved.
00:05:54But it was no easy job.
00:05:59Hello, Shigeru.
00:06:01What?
00:06:03Mine eight?
00:06:04Don't go beyond that point without me unless you are sure.
00:06:10Two meters of water, shaft eight.
00:06:13Hmm, that's strange.
00:06:14Last time we tested the mine, there was no water.
00:06:17Maybe that creeping floor.
00:06:19Hmm.
00:06:20I'm going below.
00:06:25Oh, nobody go there.
00:06:27The mine's flooded like a order.
00:06:29But my friends, they trapped in there.
00:06:31Sunlight.
00:06:31Yes, sir.
00:06:34Everybody knows where the mine's flooded.
00:06:36Oh, it is all about coming from.
00:06:38You know, what do we have a safety engineer for?
00:06:41Shut up.
00:06:41Here he comes.
00:06:43Shigeru.
00:06:43It's down here.
00:06:44Lots of water.
00:06:45Tons of it.
00:06:46What happened?
00:06:48A break in the mine war and then a flood.
00:06:51A break?
00:06:52It was just around the last bend where you said the floor has been creeping.
00:06:55Yeah, that's right.
00:06:56We just started to work.
00:06:57It's two men.
00:06:58Yoshi and Goro.
00:06:59They were together.
00:07:01Sutta Yan, you come with me.
00:07:04Shaft eight?
00:07:05At the far end.
00:07:06You come along too.
00:07:07All right.
00:07:07Yes, sir.
00:07:08All ready.
00:07:09Let's go.
00:07:09Taro, think at you.
00:07:12Oh, give them a hand.
00:07:16Smells musty down here.
00:07:18Kind of sour and warm.
00:07:19I don't like it.
00:07:20Quiet.
00:07:24Watch where you're going.
00:07:26Be careful.
00:07:26Dad.
00:07:52There's one there.
00:07:55Who is it?
00:07:57Yoshi.
00:07:59He's almost hacked to pieces.
00:08:02Quick, let's get him out of here.
00:08:05Yoshi was dead when they carried him from the mine.
00:08:09But he didn't die from drowning.
00:08:11He had been killed.
00:08:12More than killed, he had been slaughtered like an animal.
00:08:17Even in death, there was a look of horror on his face.
00:08:20As if in those last moments, he had seen something dreadful and terrible beyond words.
00:08:25We were all stunned.
00:08:28What killed him, doctor?
00:08:32It's hard to say.
00:08:34Most unusual.
00:08:37But it was not an accident.
00:08:38I don't know what weapon could cause such ugly wounds.
00:08:45But maybe the autopsy will tell us.
00:08:47Oh, you have called au paris?
00:08:51Yes.
00:08:51But I must go in.
00:08:53Yoshi's my husband.
00:08:54I must stay there.
00:08:55No, no, no.
00:08:56I want to see my husband.
00:08:57But Tami, believe me, you must not go in there.
00:09:05I'm sure it's Goro's fault she's a widow.
00:09:08Wait.
00:09:08How do you know he did it?
00:09:10Go on.
00:09:10Prove it.
00:09:11You can think what you want to.
00:09:13Goro did it.
00:09:15Till it is proved, you'll say no more about it.
00:09:18It's easy enough to understand you, Shigeru.
00:09:20You're in love with his sister, Kiyo.
00:09:22That's enough.
00:09:24You'll both say no more about it.
00:09:31Have you seen au paris?
00:09:32She's still in the hospital.
00:09:36Kiyo-chan.
00:09:44Where's my brother?
00:09:48We haven't found him yet.
00:09:50Do you believe?
00:09:54No, Kiyo-chan.
00:09:56I don't.
00:09:57Whatever anyone else may say.
00:10:00I know Goro is no cure.
00:10:03Kiyo-chan.
00:10:09Come on.
00:10:13I'll walk as far as the mine with you, Kiyo-chan.
00:10:17Come on.
00:10:18Why are you so sure he's still in the mine?
00:10:35All accounted for except Goro, the sergeant of police in the mine,
00:10:38searching for him now.
00:10:41Why are you so sure he's still in the mine?
00:10:44Because this is the only exit.
00:10:48What's that?
00:10:55Shall we go see?
00:10:58Yeah.
00:11:00Give me the rope. I'll tie us together.
00:11:05I hear something. But I don't see anything.
00:11:22Go on.
00:11:29Do you hear that?
00:11:31Peek. Be quiet.
00:11:35It might be Goro.
00:11:43Goro!
00:11:44Are you there?
00:11:54Look out!
00:11:55Peek!
00:11:56How many times must I tell you to be quiet?
00:11:58You yap like a hen.
00:12:00Sorry.
00:12:01Come on.
00:12:02I'm here.
00:12:03You have to come.
00:12:04You have to come.
00:12:05Come on.
00:12:06Let's go!
00:12:07Don't do anything!
00:12:08Come on!
00:12:09No!
00:12:13No!
00:12:14No!
00:12:15No!
00:12:17No!
00:12:18No!
00:12:19No!
00:12:21How many times did he come?
00:12:22Ah! Ah!
00:12:49They're coming in, Doctor.
00:12:50This way, please.
00:12:52That's right.
00:12:54Oh, no. Horribly mangled.
00:12:58Three of them.
00:13:02Hold on. The coroner is coming now.
00:13:04The coroner is coming now.
00:13:05Call you back. Call you back.
00:13:07The coroner is going to make a statement.
00:13:09I wonder what his theory is.
00:13:12This is Doctor Tanaka.
00:13:13Gentlemen.
00:13:14How do you do, Doctor?
00:13:15Well?
00:13:16Well, Doctor, what is it?
00:13:18Please tell us.
00:13:19Yes.
00:13:20To be blunt, gentlemen.
00:13:21Those four bodies bore maniacs, mutilations and bruises.
00:13:31Yet two of these men died not from their wounds only, but shock.
00:13:35To produce such wounds requires great power.
00:13:40The weapon.
00:13:44I cannot answer that question.
00:13:46This will cause a real scare in the village now.
00:13:48It's sure to.
00:13:49I will deputize more guards at once.
00:13:54Let me go.
00:13:55Let me go.
00:13:56Don't kill her.
00:13:57Don't kill her.
00:13:58Don't kill her.
00:13:59Don't kill her.
00:14:00Don't kill her.
00:14:01I will kill her.
00:14:02Ron.
00:14:03Please let me go.
00:14:05Tell him.
00:14:06ward her.
00:14:07Don't kill her.
00:14:08Don't kill her.
00:14:09I want to kill her.
00:14:11I want to kill her.
00:14:14Don't run.
00:14:16Let me go.
00:14:17Please, come back!
00:14:27Chigaro! I'm afraid here.
00:14:30All these terrible killings.
00:14:33It's not murder, it's worse.
00:14:36There's something horrible in that mine.
00:14:39Goro is dead too, I know it.
00:14:42I don't want to live here any longer.
00:14:47Kiyo-chan.
00:14:50Please, Kiyo. I understand.
00:14:55Kerings. Otami.
00:14:58Your brother gone and you here alone.
00:15:02You should go away, Kiyo.
00:15:05Yes?
00:15:06Yes.
00:15:08Smile. We'll soon be together again.
00:15:17Help!
00:15:27Help!
00:15:28Help!
00:15:29There's a monster here!
00:15:31Let's see what it is.
00:15:32What is it?
00:15:39Where is this thing?
00:15:40I saw it in there.
00:15:41In Goro's house?
00:15:42In Goro's house.
00:15:43Watch your house, Ben.
00:15:44There's no telling what's in there.
00:15:46There's no telling what's in there.
00:15:47I'm gonna help you.
00:15:48Take it away.
00:15:49Take it away.
00:15:50Take it away.
00:15:51Take it away.
00:15:52Come away.
00:15:53Yes, Major.
00:15:54I need those troops here right away.
00:15:58That's right.
00:15:59We need machine guns and other pieces.
00:16:00And hurry, sir.
00:16:01This is very urgent.
00:16:02We're going to be out of nowhere, David!
00:16:04We've got to pay him!
00:16:06Come that way!
00:16:08Yes, Major. I need those troops here right away.
00:16:11That's right. We need machine guns and other pieces.
00:16:14And hurry, sir. This is very urgent.
00:16:17Now, when those troops come?
00:16:19Sir, the thing is not far from the outer code double.
00:16:32This way!
00:16:54Look! Up there!
00:16:58Follow me!
00:17:02Kanda! Zubata! Spread out! Don't get too close!
00:17:10Oi!
00:17:32No!
00:17:46Down here! Hurry, man! Hurry!
00:17:48It seems to be alive.
00:17:50Let me see. Let me see.
00:17:53As I thought, all the killings have been done by that monster.
00:17:59The wounds are the same.
00:18:01You men! Here! Hurry! Take him to the mall.
00:18:03Get out of here!
00:18:05Get out of here!

00:18:11Get out of here!
00:18:12Get out of here!
00:18:13Come, come! Hurry! Hurry!
00:18:14Easy! Take it easy now!
00:18:15Barricade to my entrance.
00:18:16He may still be alive!
00:18:17Yes!
00:18:18Take him to the hospital!
00:18:19Quick!
00:18:20Come on! Quick!
00:18:21Come on! Quick!

00:18:26I'm going on shaft eight!
00:18:27I've got to find Goro!
00:18:29You're a fool!
00:18:30You want to be found dead?
00:18:31Wait!
00:18:32You can go with my men!
00:18:38Oh!

00:19:40They leave in here, all right.
00:19:58First squad!
00:20:00Up front!
00:20:11Can we get through the water?
00:20:12Yes.
00:20:13It's gone down since this morning.
00:20:14Come on!
00:20:25Hold it!
00:20:26Hold it!
00:20:27Looks like something ahead.

00:21:53Come on! I've got to get Koro's body!
00:21:57Come on!
00:22:01This is where the water came into the mine.
00:22:03Give us a hand here.
00:22:05Careful.

00:23:09Have you reached Tiggerro yet?
00:23:11The rescue squad is still digging.
00:23:13Perhaps tomorrow.
00:23:15What do the army engineers think?
00:23:17Tomorrow at the earliest.
00:23:18Yes!
00:23:19Oh!
00:23:20Earthquake!

00:23:50Earthquake Institute.
00:23:51Uh-huh.
00:23:52This is Professor Kashiwagi.
00:23:54Tsunakawa.
00:23:55Was that quake near the coal mine?
00:23:57Yes.
00:23:58The shark center is Roku.
00:23:59Near the Kitamatsu coal district.
00:24:02Oh?
00:24:03I'm in Kitamatsu now!
00:24:04Good!
00:24:05Can you meet me?
00:24:06Old Mount Toya Road.
00:24:08About 1.30.
00:24:09To inspect the area of the volcano.
00:24:11To inspect the area of the volcano.
00:24:13I'll be there.
00:24:14We'll leave right away.
00:24:28Oh no!
00:24:29Back!
00:24:30Back!
00:24:31Back!
00:24:38Shut up!
00:24:39What's the hell?
00:24:40What would cause a thing like this on a coal?
00:24:43I don't know.
00:24:44There's been some strange underground rumbling in this area.
00:24:47I'm completely baffled.
00:24:54Look!
00:24:55Down there!
00:24:56A man!
00:25:09There he is!
00:25:10Over there!
00:25:11Hey Chigaru!
00:25:15They're still searching for him up at the mine.
00:25:17Let's get him to a hospital.
00:25:30He does not know us.
00:25:31A total loss of memory.
00:25:32Huh?
00:25:39Sedative.
00:25:40Shigaru!
00:25:41Look at me!
00:25:42Don't you know who I am?
00:25:43Shigaru.
00:25:44It's Mr. Osaki.
00:25:45Shigaru-san!
00:25:46Go to him.
00:25:47Shigaru-san!
00:25:48What?
00:25:49Surely you know me.
00:25:50You must.
00:25:51It's Kiyo.
00:25:52Shigaru-san!
00:25:53Shigaru-san!
00:25:54Shigaru-san!
00:25:55Shigaru-san!
00:25:56Shigaru-san!
00:25:57Shigaru-san!
00:25:58What?
00:25:59Shigaru-san!
00:26:00Surely you know me.
00:26:01You must.
00:26:02It's Kiyo.
00:26:03Shigaru-san!
00:26:04Shigaru-san!
00:26:06Shigaru-san!
00:26:11Amnesia can be...difficult.
00:26:13I'll start treatment at once.
00:26:14Take him to his room.
00:26:15Careful.
00:26:16Take him to his room.
00:26:18Careful.
00:26:19Careful.
00:26:22Gently now.
00:26:23Gently.
00:26:25Try again.
00:26:26What is your name?
00:26:30Take a deep breath.
00:26:34Raise your bandaged arm.
00:26:37Name the girl you love.
00:26:46And so, the monster that came from the mine is actually a species of prehistoric insects that once roamed the earth.
00:26:54We may know someday if its secret of survival will help mankind.
00:26:59Can you take it from the mine?
00:27:01I'm sure we can.
00:27:02Good.
00:27:03In our eyes, it's a destructive creature.
00:27:06But it's also an opportunity to study the primitive life.
00:27:16You must recognize this one.
00:27:22Take a good try this time.
00:27:27Think hard.
00:27:29Remember?
00:27:30You killed it in the mines.
00:27:39Shigeru.
00:27:40They killed your friend Goro.
00:27:46Did she get us up?
00:27:52Please.
00:27:53No more.
00:27:54He's tired.
00:27:55He's tired.
00:28:13Able flying, calling Big Fence Tower.
00:28:15I'm at 20,000 feet over the inland sea.
00:28:17An unidentified object has just crossed my course at supersonic speed.
00:28:21What?
00:28:23Supersonic?
00:28:24Able flight.
00:28:27Able flight.
00:28:28We read you.
00:28:29None of our planes in that area.
00:28:31Can you identify the flying object?
00:28:34I'm not exactly sure.
00:28:35I don't know what it is.
00:28:36But the object has just finished the loop and it's gone into a vertical climb.
00:28:45All of these maneuvers at unbelievable speed.
00:28:46Hey.
00:28:47It's going straight up.
00:28:48And it's 40,000 feet.
00:28:49Straight up?
00:28:50At that speed?
00:28:51I am still in pursuit.
00:28:52I am still in pursuit.
00:28:53As long as you can see it, pursue.
00:28:54We'll alert you, Wata.
00:28:55I'll drive for more altitude.
00:28:56I can't push my ship faster.
00:28:58It's leveling off.
00:28:59I can't push my ship faster.
00:29:00It's leveling off.
00:29:01It just made a turn.
00:29:02It's coming at me.
00:29:03Oh, no.
00:29:04It's coming at me.
00:29:05Oh, no.
00:29:06Ah!
00:29:07Ah!
00:29:08Ah!
00:29:09Ah!
00:29:10Ah!
00:29:11Ah!
00:29:12Ah!
00:29:13Ah!
00:29:14Ah!
00:29:15Ah!
00:29:16Ah!
00:29:17Ah!
00:29:18Ah!
00:29:19Ah!
00:29:20Ah!
00:29:21Ah!
00:29:22Ah!
00:29:23Ah!
00:29:24Ah!
00:29:25Ah!
00:29:26Ah!
00:29:27Ah!
00:29:28Ah!
00:29:29Ah!
00:29:30Ah!
00:29:31Ah!
00:29:32Ah!
00:29:33Ah!
00:29:34Ah!
00:29:35Ah!
00:29:36Ah!
00:29:37Ah!
00:29:38Ah!
00:29:39Ah!
00:29:40Ah!
00:29:41Ah!
00:29:42Ah!
00:29:43Ah!
00:29:44Ah!
00:29:45Ah!
00:29:46Ah!
00:29:47He was obviously attacked by something.
00:29:49But it's also incredible.
00:29:52Who ever heard of maneuvering at that speed?
00:29:54Well, something must happen.
00:29:56We both heard the pilot's report.
00:30:00Performing loops, making vertical climbs.
00:30:03And don't forget, it reversed its direction at supersonic speed.
00:30:09Kittahara must have gone mad.
00:30:11No, I don't think so.
00:30:14He was one of our most reliable pilots.
00:30:17I'm sorry.
00:30:21Hello?
00:30:23Yes?
00:30:24Yes, he's here.
00:30:25Izeke, it's for you.
00:30:27Thanks.
00:30:28Hello, Izeke speaking.
00:30:31Oh?
00:30:33When did it happen?
00:30:34So?
00:30:36How many?
00:30:37No, nothing new to report here.
00:30:40Okay, be right back.
00:30:42British cargo plane, destroyed.
00:30:44Yellow Sea, no survivors.
00:30:48The entire Pacific area is alarmed by this supersonic maniac that is attacking anything that flies.
00:30:54Because of this unidentified object, the military high command in Tokyo has just issued an order canceling all air travel.
00:31:01Hundreds of eyewitnesses have observed this fantastic object, but always at such high altitudes and incredible speeds as to make an accurate description impossible.
00:31:11Over a dozen cities have sounded air raid alerts at its approach.
00:31:14Peking, the capital city of China, was stunned this morning by a sonic blast that struck with the power of a subatomic explosion.
00:31:21A small village north of the city was leveled.
00:31:30Source of the sonic blast was the UFO.
00:31:33Air travel between Chinese cities has been suspended pending investigation of the mystery.
00:31:38Air Force pilots have orders to open fire at sight upon any UFO.
00:31:45Manila, Philippines.
00:31:47A government patrol boat capsized and sank today off Mindanao when an unidentified object believed to be the UFO dived into the sea beside it.
00:31:56Because of the great distances between appearances of the UFO, authorities are convinced there is more than one.
00:32:06Reported over Rangoon at 1017, over Singapore at 1032.
00:32:10And here's a bulletin just coming in from Wake Island.
00:32:14United States radar specialists have joined in the relentless pursuit of the unknown invader.
00:32:20Captain John Hughes, United States Air Force, was killed this morning while engaged in the pursuit of an unidentified flying object.
00:32:29His supersonic pursuit ship caught in the slipstream of hurricane proportions disintegrated in midair.
00:32:35Wake Island radar screens track the UFO westward in the direction of the Japanese islands.
00:32:42The whole world is on guard, wondering what the terrible consequences may be.
00:32:49And now here in Kyushu, we have our problem.
00:32:53Mount Toya volcano, so long inactive, is once again growling and threatening the people with eruption.
00:32:59Eruption.
00:33:02Chief Nishimura.
00:33:04Oh, hello, Sunukawa.
00:33:06Hmm?
00:33:07What's that?
00:33:10Oh, the volcano.
00:33:15Off limits?
00:33:17I understand.
00:33:19We block off the road.
00:33:21Yes, yes, right away.
00:33:22Thank you for the information.
00:33:23I'll give you two to one odds.
00:33:26If Mount Toya is in any danger of erupting, people will go there.
00:33:31Yeah.
00:33:34You be careful.
00:33:35I just heard the Mount Toya is smoking again.
00:33:37Oh, we'll be very careful.
00:33:43But do you think it's really safe, sir?
00:33:45Oh, I imagine.
00:33:46Oh, there's a lot on there.
00:33:47Goodbye.
00:33:48Bye.
00:33:49Bye.
00:33:50Have a good time.
00:33:51Bye.
00:33:53Bye.
00:33:54See you tonight.
00:33:55Are you taking a picture of me or the volcano?
00:34:06I'll take you both.
00:34:08You're much nicer to shoot than the volcano.
00:34:10Smile now.
00:34:11Smile.
00:34:14Steady.
00:34:16Pizza?
00:34:17Time.
00:34:18Please?
00:34:19I can't!
00:34:20Hurry, quick!
00:34:23Run, quickly!
00:34:24I get her!
00:34:25I can't!
00:34:26Run, run, run!
00:34:27I can't!
00:34:38No, not suicide.
00:34:41They were too happy.
00:34:43From the position of the camera and the shoe, it looks as though they might have been running.
00:34:49That's right.
00:34:50From something that was strong enough to carry both of them away.
00:34:58Excuse me, sir. These men report three cows stolen.
00:35:03Last night, we went to the field to bring them home, but they were nowhere to be found.
00:35:08The negatives. Thank you.
00:35:11Oh, Toji, you go take care of the two men.
00:35:14Yes, sir.
00:35:15Rizaki, the fume from their camera has just been developed.
00:35:19There they are. They look happy enough to me.
00:35:24What the devil is that? Make an enlargement immediately.
00:35:29Professor Kashiwaki ought to be interested in this.
00:35:32Looks like a bird.
00:35:34It must be the wing of a plane.
00:35:37A bird that big. Could it fly?
00:35:41Professor, we have a fire on transitional saurian forms.
00:35:47Yes. Get the one for the Mesozoic and Carboniferous period.
00:35:50This is the Pterosauria.
00:35:52That's right.
00:35:54Professor Kashiwaki,ÛŒŰ§iz be a question.
00:35:56No, I'm a fan of those spirits.
00:35:57Okay, I saw you.
00:35:58No, I didn't want more.
00:35:59No, nothing happened.
00:36:00No, nothing happened.
00:36:01Yes, I'll talk about that.
00:36:02No, I have no doubt about that.
00:36:03But I would like to go.
00:36:04No, I have no doubt about that.
00:36:05You can see ...
00:36:06No, you are not!
00:36:07No, nothing.
00:36:08No, nothing.
00:36:09No, nothing.
00:36:10No, nothing.
00:36:11No, nothing.
00:36:12No, nothing.
00:36:13No, nothing.
00:36:14So, no, nothing.
00:36:15No, it's on.
00:36:16Yes, Dos, no, nothing.
00:36:17Tori-chan, why aren't you sitting?
00:36:30Oh, the hatch.
00:36:32I want you to see that.
00:36:42Look, Shigeru, two little legs.
00:36:45Be careful.
00:36:47Oh, my God.
00:37:17Oh, my God.
00:37:47Oh, my God.
00:38:17Oh, my God.
00:38:47Oh, my God.
00:39:17Oh, my God.
00:39:25Kiyo-chan.
00:39:27Shigeru-san, your memory has returned to you.
00:39:31Kiyo-chan.
00:39:33Shigeru, you say this ate the giant insects in the mine?
00:39:39Yes.
00:39:41What I saw in the cave was just coming out of its shell.
00:39:46Are you sure?
00:39:49Shigeru, you say this ate the giant insects in the mine?
00:39:55Yes.
00:39:57Most sickening sight.
00:39:59I'll go.
00:40:01Back with you.
00:40:03If there are other eggs, they must all be destroyed.
00:40:07We'll all go.
00:40:09The shaft of mine number eight led to the cavern where I believed I had seen that monstrous egg break open.
00:40:17I felt unsure, tortured with doubt.
00:40:19Was it shock that did these curious things to my mind?
00:40:23Slowly, relentlessly, we pressed on.
00:40:27We felt we were entering a giant grave.
00:40:31How much of it did I dream?
00:40:33How much of it did I imagine?
00:40:35One thing I did know.
00:40:37There was no doubt about the existence of those gigantic insects, which had slashed so many of my friends to death.
00:40:45My colleagues agreed.
00:40:47We could not stop now.
00:40:49There was no turning back.
00:40:51We acted as a group, but individually we were afraid.
00:40:55Yes.
00:40:56Fear.
00:40:57It was inside the minds and hearts of all the men.
00:41:00Fear of something we couldn't see.
00:41:02The bats in the dark underground added to the eerie atmosphere.
00:41:06The awful stillness gave us a shudder.
00:41:10But we continued on and on.
00:41:13We had to find out even though the answer might be death to us all.
00:41:18We felt hemmed in, confined, deep in the bowels of the earth.
00:41:23We could feel the strange echo of our footsteps as we kept on.
00:41:27No one of us daring to say a word.
00:41:30Single file we walked.
00:41:32All of us searching, searching.
00:41:34We were seeking a monster.
00:41:36A monster who had been hatched from an egg.
00:41:40How could prehistoric monsters stir from their long death to move about upon the earth again?
00:41:46The only answer to that could be that they never really died.
00:41:50They only slept.
00:41:52We had dug too deeply for our coal and awakened them to destroy us all.
00:41:58We looked around us.
00:42:00I could remember the smell of the thing.
00:42:03A cool and evil smell that sent your flesh crawling.
00:42:08It was there.
00:42:10It was there.
00:42:11I tell you, that's the spot over there.
00:42:13Then what happened?
00:42:15Somewhere there ought to be some sort of shell.
00:42:18Yeah.
00:42:19Well, now.
00:42:21Might be buried by a rock slide.
00:42:24Over there.
00:42:26A shell.
00:42:27Mashiwagi.
00:42:28Come here.
00:42:29Look at this.
00:42:30A piece of shell.
00:42:31This is shell?
00:42:32Sure it is.
00:42:33Look out!
00:42:34Answer!
00:42:35Run!
00:42:36Run!
00:42:37Run!
00:42:38Run!
00:42:39Run!
00:42:40Run!
00:42:41Run!
00:42:42Run!
00:42:43Run!
00:42:45Run!
00:42:46Run!
00:42:47Run!
00:42:48Run!
00:42:49Run!
00:42:50Run!
00:42:51Run!
00:42:52Run!
00:42:53Run!
00:42:54Run!
00:42:55Here's the carbon-14 report.
00:43:10Yes.
00:43:10More than 20 million years old.
00:43:13Chief element?
00:43:14Calcium.
00:43:16Aha.
00:43:17It's eggshell, all right.
00:43:19And the microscope shows it's reptilian.
00:43:22Go see for yourself.
00:43:25Yes, the cell structure is extremely primitive late Cretaceous period.
00:43:33We're now faced with measuring the egg.
00:43:36This parabolic section will determine its precise size.
00:43:40Now, according to our electronic computer, this object you call an egg has a total volume of more than 100,000 cubic feet.
00:43:59Hard to believe.
00:44:03Tell me, if the egg itself has those dimensions, how big is a reptile when it's full-grown?
00:44:09I'm not sure.
00:44:10It may have been full-grown when it hatched.
00:44:15It obviously took to the air right away.
00:44:18A flying object?
00:44:19Uh-huh, exactly.
00:44:21Will you excuse me?
00:44:22After study of all the relevant data, I can now state that the unidentified flying object is a giant flying reptile, closely related to the extinct Pteranodon.
00:44:33So far, here are the data we have gathered for you.
00:44:36It's weight is over 100 tons, and it has a wing spread of perhaps 500 feet.
00:44:43500 feet?
00:44:44Because of its size and supersonic flying speed, it generates a shockwave with all the destructive force of a typhoon.
00:44:52Just one thing more.
00:44:56Although related to the Pteranodon, this creature is a carnivorous reptile and belongs to a species called Rodan.
00:45:03Doctor, a question.
00:45:05Of course.
00:45:07If this thing you call Rodan is extinct, how come it is still alive?
00:45:15That's a good question.
00:45:17But we can only advance theory so far.
00:45:19So I'll advance the theory of my own.
00:45:25Millions of years ago, this egg was hermetically sealed.
00:45:30It was buried by a volcanic eruption, perpetuating the germ of life,
00:45:36until atomic explosions fractured the Earth's crust, admitting air and water.
00:45:42Then the warm water caused the egg to hatch.
00:45:44Ah, that's right.
00:45:46That also explains the giant insects.
00:45:51Doctor, the Air Force has the practical job of destroying Rodan.
00:45:56Where do we find him?
00:45:58He hatched in a cavern near the Osaka mines and surfaced somewhere near the volcano.
00:46:04They joined underground.
00:46:06Commander, I therefore recommend an air search of this section between the mine area here and the volcano.
00:46:11Nothing yet.
00:46:29We're too high.
00:46:31Can we go lower?
00:46:32Can we go lower?
00:46:32Look, down there.
00:46:43Oh, Professor, look.
00:46:47Human bones.
00:46:49Yes, and a big slipper.
00:46:51The killer can't be far away.
00:46:53Helicopter number two to Big Fence.

00:47:05Refer to area map, section B7, between 35th and 36 counters.
00:47:10Over.
00:47:11The doctor was right.

00:48:06Fourth rim.
00:48:06Quit going.
00:48:07No.
00:48:07Oh, my God.
00:48:37Oh, my God.
00:49:07Oh, my God.
00:49:37Oh, my God.
00:49:39Oh, my God.
00:49:41Oh, my God.
00:49:43I'm walking in.
00:49:46It has a meat.
00:49:49Autant, notify headquarters there's another one.
00:49:51Yes, sir.
00:50:16There he is.
00:50:1710 o'clock home. Follow me.
00:50:21There he is.
00:50:27Dog leader to big fence.
00:50:29Both rodons escaped.
00:50:30We are in pursuit of the second.
00:50:32What? Two rodons?
00:50:34What are your instructions? Over.
00:50:36Dog flight. We read you.
00:50:39Stay in close contact.
00:50:41Roger.
00:50:51As soon as we have got caught on the other side in the pit,
00:50:53we have to chase up the heat.
00:50:55Yes, sir.
00:50:57Look at you.
00:50:58I'll see you next time.
00:51:00Come on.
00:51:01Come on.
00:51:02Hey, you're in the private house.
00:51:03You'll see that!
00:51:04Come on.
00:51:07Come on.
00:51:08Come on.
00:51:09Go on.
00:51:11Come on.
00:51:12I don't mean I'm going in.
00:51:42I don't mean I'm going in.
00:52:12I don't mean I'm going in.
00:52:17We've lost contact with Rodan.
00:52:19Both wingmen down.
00:52:20E-flight out of operation.
00:52:23K-squadron to Big Fence.
00:52:25We have just sighted Rodan.
00:52:27Big Fence to K-squadron.
00:52:29Stay in contact.
00:52:34What's that?
00:52:38Approaching Sasebo.
00:52:39Yes, sir.
00:52:40Right now.
00:52:41Sound the alert.
00:52:42We concentrate in this area.
00:53:13Let's go!
00:53:34Hurry, off the bridge! Off the bus! This way!
00:53:38Hurry, hurry!
00:53:43Hurry, off the bus!
00:53:53Come on! Come on! Come on!
00:53:56Look out!
00:54:13Come on!
00:54:14Come on!
00:54:23Put it down!
00:54:24Go!
00:54:25Put it in the bottom!
00:54:26Go!
00:54:27Go!
00:54:28Go!
00:54:30Go!
00:54:31Go!
00:54:32Go!
00:54:33Go!
00:54:34Go!
00:54:35I'm not sure what I'm doing.
00:54:50I'm not sure what you're doing.
00:54:51Speaking of the lardings,
00:54:55I'm not sure what he's doing.
00:54:59I'm not sure what he's doing.
00:55:01I'm not sure what he's doing.
00:55:02Still in pursuit of Rodan near Sasebo Bridge. Machine guns and rockets so far are ineffective.
00:55:23I've lost one plane, but we're still in pursuit. Rodan is now flying over Sasebo City. Over.
00:55:28That's Rodan. He's coming over. See anything? No!
00:55:35Yes, here he comes. See you over there.
00:55:41Men, women at shelter. Go for the shelter.
00:55:45Follow your shops and store.
00:55:59This way! Shelter! This way! This way!
00:56:11Order the tank platoon, sir.
00:56:13Yes, sir.
00:56:14Attention, 3rd Corps. VE tanks by sports tower converge on Union Square North.
00:56:32Attention, 3rd Corps. VE tanks by sports tower converge on Union Square North.
00:56:41On Union Square North.
00:56:42On Union Square North.
00:57:11This way!
00:57:12According to Minion Square North.
00:57:13This way!
00:57:14This way!
00:57:15We're in the same place as a time as the in-person view in real life.
00:57:16This way!
00:57:17This way!
00:57:18This way!
00:57:20This way!
00:57:21This way!
00:57:22This way!
00:57:23This way!
00:57:24This way!
00:57:26This way!
00:57:27This way!
00:57:28This way!
00:57:30This way!
00:57:31Oh, my God.
00:58:01Oh, my God.
00:58:31Oh, my God.
00:59:01Oh, my God.
00:59:31Oh, my God.
01:00:01Oh, my God.
01:00:31If they're not killed, they'll take over the earth.
01:00:33Our reconnaissance planes haven't seen either Rodan for over a week.
01:00:58Isn't it possible that they're back underground?
01:01:01Yes.
01:01:03Everything leads to that conclusion.
01:01:05Will you explain that, Doctor?
01:01:07Yes.
01:01:07These Rodans are reptiles, a member of the snake family.
01:01:13After they gorge on food, human or otherwise, they'll hibernate a long, long time.
01:01:20This is the battle area.
01:01:21This is the battle area.
01:01:23Here, the tanks will shell the crater, closing the volcanic exit.
01:01:29At the same time, ballistic missiles will bombard this area and seal off the opening where they escaped before.
01:01:36We'll bury them alive.
01:01:38We'll bury them alive.
01:01:39In my opinion, the plan is too dangerous.
01:01:41Montoya can erupt.
01:01:43Well, that's better than two flying reptiles.
01:01:46I disagree with you.
01:01:48We can kill the Rodans and die in the volcanic eruptions.
01:01:52It's our only chance.
01:01:53No, much too dangerous.
01:01:55Sunakawa, the Rodans are hibernating.
01:01:58Is there a better time to bury them?
01:02:00No, but think of the people.
01:02:03The women, the children.
01:02:05Sunakawa, surely you don't think we will forget them?
01:02:08They will be moved to safety.
01:02:12Why, the Rodans are far more menacing to the people.
01:02:14The crater must be bombed.
01:02:16We shall evacuate the village of Kitamatsu and proceed with Operation Rodan.
01:02:38No, we will not start operations until people are out.
01:02:48Report as soon as evacuation is completed.
01:02:50Yes, that's right.
01:02:52Fine.
01:02:55First tank battalion has left the rendezvous area.
01:02:57This point is to be bombed?
01:02:58Yes.
01:02:59Everything here on the north.
01:03:01Everything?
01:03:02Yes, this point here.
01:03:03This point.
01:03:08Yiyo-chan!
01:03:21Shigeru-san!
01:03:23Everyone else is leaving.
01:03:24Yes.
01:03:25Then why are you here?
01:03:26Well, I want to be with you.
01:03:29Because I love you.
01:03:33Then I love you.
01:03:36Come on.
01:03:37Stay with me.
01:03:47Yes.
01:03:48Tanks are now moving into positions here.
01:03:51Yes, keep us on Route 9.
01:03:52They're open.
01:03:54Range set at 6 kilometers for...
01:03:56All units are now moving into position.
01:03:58Right.
01:03:58Right.
01:03:58Right.
01:03:58Right.
01:04:07Everyone has been evacuated.
01:04:26From now on is your responsibility.
01:04:27Our post.
01:04:31Huh?
01:04:34There.
01:04:35This time we must succeed.
01:04:37Yes, sir.
01:04:39Take this road.
01:04:40Going over.
01:04:41I'm going over.
01:04:43Yes, sir.
01:04:55Yes, sir.
01:04:55All units ready, sir.
01:05:14Commence firing.
01:05:16Commence firing.
01:05:17Commence firing.
01:05:19Commence firing.
01:05:21Give the signal.
01:05:22Yes, sir.
01:05:25Commence firing.
01:05:55Commence firing.
01:06:25Commence firing.
01:06:55Let's go.
01:07:25Shall we open up on the south exit, sir?
01:07:39Yes. Batteries, fire!
01:07:42Batteries, fire!
01:07:43Batteries, fire!
01:07:55Let's go.
01:07:57Let's go.
01:08:02Let's go.
01:08:04Let's go.
01:08:05Let's go.
01:08:35That seals the cavern.
01:08:44Brook, over there.
01:08:58It's Routon.
01:09:05Collector's erupting.
01:10:09As Kiyo-Chan turned to weep on my shoulder, I realized the Rodans were doomed.
01:10:27The heat, the gases, the bombardment added to their bewilderment.
01:10:32Like moths in those rivers of fire, they seemed almost to welcome the agonies of death.
01:10:38And when, still calling to each other, one of them fell at last into the mountain lava stream, the other still refused to save itself.
01:10:49And last of their kind, masters of the air and earth, the strongest, swiftest creatures that ever breathed.
01:10:56Now they sank against the earth like weary children.
01:11:00Each had refused to live without the other, and so they were dying together.
01:11:06I wondered whether I, a 20th century man, could ever hope to die as well.
01:11:13It was as if something human were dying.
01:11:16As the flames consumed them in a fiery holocaust, their last agony wails echoing in a mournful cry.
01:11:24We stood there staring with a strange fascination.
01:11:31I realize now that by the narrowest of margins, man had proved himself the stronger.
01:11:38But will it always be so?
01:11:41May not other and more terrible monsters even now be stirring in the darkness?
01:11:47And when at last they spring upon us, can we be certain we shall beat them back a second time?
01:11:54The answer lies in the future.
01:11:57Our fears for now have gone up in flame and smoke.
01:12:08Oh, it always does not try and shake.
01:12:11Shoot, what may not?
