Gorgo (1961)

1. Sam, it's looking terribly ugly.

2. The men are getting edgy.

3. Yeah, so am I.

4. Come on, Joe. Make it snappy, will ya?

5. Come on, let's get outta here.

6. Wait a minute, Sam.

7. There's thousands of dollars worth of stuff

8. on that old rust bucket.

9. I'm not getting outta here without it.

10. Are you kidding?

11. Stop worrying. Stake it out, I'll be back up in 10 minutes.

12. He's been down half an hour.

13. I know these waters well, Sam.

14. I've never seen the like of this before.

15. Get me a lung, I'm going down to get him.

16. He's come up.

17. Beware! A sea monster!

18. Secure forward, damn it!

19. Watch out!

20. Leave it!

21. I got you!

22. Not as bad as I thought, Joe.

23. How long to get it into shape?

24. Ah, rudder stock's bent.

25. - Couple of sprung plates. - Uh-huh.

26. That mess on deck... three, four days.

27. And we're out of fresh water.

28. Let's go ashore and see what they've got. Ready, Sam?

29. Look there.

30. I've never seen anything like that before.

31. The whole ocean bottom must have been torn up.

32. Looks like they were pretty hard hit.

33. Yeah.

34. Hi. Is there a harbormaster we can talk to?

35. Gaelic, huh?

36. Doesn't sound like "welcome" in any language.

37. Hey, kid, is your father at home?

38. I don't have a father.

39. Oh, does the harbormaster live here?

40. It's the right place you've come to then.

41. Come in.

42. You say the harbormaster lives here?

43. Yes, but it's a city man, he is.

44. A government man.

45. Oh, who is he? What's he do?

46. McCartin's his name. Calls himself an archeologist.

47. What's your name?

48. Sean. I work for him.

49. Doing what?

50. Oh, bit of this and a bit of that.

51. Cleaning up the things he finds.

52. What things?

53. You want to see them then?

54. Yeah, sure.

55. Well, what do you know?

56. That's been under the sea for a thousand years, they say.

57. - Viking, looks like. - Yeah.

58. That's it.

59. There was a great sea battle right off the bay here,

60. and we Irish drove them off and sank their ships.

61. What's that?

62. That's Ogra, the sea spirit.

63. Just groundwork he did that day.

64. Sounds like Saint Patrick and the snakes.

65. What are you doing here? You, get out.

66. I'm Joe Ryan. My partner, Sam Slade.

67. How are ya?

68. McCartin's the name.

69. - Salvage wrestling, aren't you? - Yeah.

70. I thought so.

71. Did the boy tell you about all this?

72. Yeah, a little.

73. This stuff has no real value, except to us eggheads.

74. But since it turned up, no ship's allowed at Nara Island

75. for more than 24 hours without a permit.

76. Well, look, friend, we're not seaworthy.

77. We won't be for three or four days.

78. - I don't make the orders. - That's the way it is.

79. Anyway, we're afloat. Come on, Sam.

80. Hey, how about fresh water?

81. - We'll give you that. - Thanks.

82. - No hard feelings now. - Oh no.

83. Do you believe him? About this permit?

84. - No. - Well, something's

85. eating him.

86. I wonder what?

87. I don't know. Come on.

88. Maybe we'll swing a little more weight around here

89. if we find out.

90. Hey, Joe, look.

91. Slagger off, Harry.

92. Are you having any luck?

93. You know, Joe, they can talk English

94. every bit as good as you and I can.

95. They just don't want to, that's all.

96. You try 'em, Harry.

97. He said there's no time for talking with strangers

98. and McCartin does all the talking on the island.

99. Two of the divers didn't come up, Joe.

100. They think they're gone.

101. Gone?

102. There's one.

103. So that's what's worrying McCartin.

104. - He's dead. - Dead? How?

105. You saw him come up.

106. If you ask me, he died of fright.

107. This is crazy.

108. There was a man lost down there today. Not even a trace.

109. Another one saw something that scared him to death.

110. Look, Sam, you don't want to go, don't go.

111. I'm going, all right.

112. Just to make sure that you get back.

113. Sure. With a hat full of gold.

114. Get set.

115. Yeah, okay.

116. What did you see, Sam?

117. I don't know, but whatever it was,

118. I never wanna see it again.

119. How goes it, Sam?

120. These are the last few barrels coming on board now.

121. Drop a few back, kid, will ya?

122. McCartin wants to see ya.

123. It's a fine rage he's in.

124. Oh it is, is it?

125. Look, kid. Get down off there, will ya?

126. About the permit.

127. - What about the permit? - It's a heathen lie.

128. Maybe we better see what this joker's got in mind.

129. - Where is he? - Come on then.

130. Harry.

131. - What's going on here? - They think a shark

132. got the man who was lost.

133. Mr. McCartin, I hear you've got a beef.

134. You were snooping around out there.

135. My divers told me.

136. Yeah, and I suppose they told you to give us

137. all that jazz about a permit.

138. Are you doubting my word?

139. You're right, Mr. McCartin, I am.

140. After you load with water, you leave. Tonight.

141. The sooner the better.

142. It's Ogra.

143. Hit him! Right there!

144. That's it! Hey!

145. Hold it! Hold it!

146. Wait! Oh, no!

147. Come on! Hurry!

148. Move it! Move it!

149. Go! Hurry, hurry!

150. Come on! Move it!

151. Shoot!

152. No! No!

153. - No! - Let go!

154. Quiet! Quiet!

155. Now there's a man looks like he's got a real problem.

156. Uh-huh, and I'll bet he'd pay through the nose

157. if you could solve it for him.

158. Quiet!

159. Quiet, all of you! Will you be quiet now?

160. Hey. Hey, mister.

161. We'll be wanting a passage on your ship just as soon

162. as his nibs here gets around to giving us our pay.

163. Now, hold on.

164. You'll get your pay if you like,

165. there'll be no taking a passage on any ship.

166. - Why not? - Yeah, why not?

167. Come with me, please.

168. Now, for God's sake, let's go inside and talk about it.

169. Sure.

170. If they all leave now, my port men, my divers,

171. the lot of them, the whole thing will go to smash.

172. Me, I kind of see their point.

173. Got any other reason for not wanting them to leave?

174. - What do you mean? - Oh, like, ah,

175. maybe they'd talk too much.

176. - Where did you get those? - Same place as you.

177. Supposing we got rid of that thing for you...

178. The beast?

179. - Do you think you can? - Maybe.

180. Let's take another look in there first, huh?

181. Open the safe.

182. You've done all right for yourself.

183. How about this for a down payment?

184. Do you like this one, Sam?

185. You must be out of your mind.

186. A thing like that's priceless.

187. And how do you think you're going to dispose of it?

188. Oh, you must have figured out a way.

189. I'll bet we can.

190. - You dirty blackmailer! - Shut up!

191. You're getting off easy, friend.

192. Could have grabbed the lot.

193. - When will you start? - Now.

194. Why not?

195. Mr. Ryan!

196. Mr. Ryan!

197. What is it, kid?

198. You'll be trying to catch him? Ogra?

199. Yeah, maybe.

200. - Not afraid, are ya? - No.

201. But it's a bad thing you're doing.

202. A terrible, bad thing, Mr. Ryan.

203. Why don't you call me Joe?

204. Okay, Joe.

205. Okay, Sean.

206. We might be able to catch him in the nets.

207. - Yeah. - But how do you propose

208. to kill a thing like that?

209. Oh, I don't know. Dynamite, maybe.

210. Ever stop to think what a thing like that

211. might be worth alive?

212. You really think you'll catch him with that?

213. Sure, why not?

214. I figure that the lights'll act as a sort of lure.

215. If that doesn't work, we'll try something else.

216. - Okay, Harry, come on. - Okay.

217. Johnny, Pat!

218. Ready when you are, Joe.

219. Okay. Take her up!

220. Take her out. Out!

221. Lower, away!

222. Down!

223. Sam? Can you hear me?

224. Yeah, I can hear you.

225. Ah, get me about 15 fathoms.

226. Down!

227. Sam?

228. - Sam? - Ten fathoms.

229. How's that?

230. Okay, that'll do.

231. Give me four to five knots.

232. Yeah, slow engine, head it down the bay.

233. Slow engine.

234. Sam, can you hear me? Stop engines!

235. Stop engines!

236. Take me up, Sam. Not too fast.

237. - I don't want to lose him. - Slow up.

238. Up, up.

239. - Sam, Sam, pull up! - Up, quick, quick!

240. Pull up, up!

241. Sam, Sam, pull up!

242. Pull up, up!

243. Sam, Sam, pull up!

244. And quick!

245. Sam, pull up!

246. - She won't take anymore. - She'll snap the cables!

247. Drop the nets, drop the nets!

248. Drop the nets!

249. All hands on nets! Hurry up!

250. This one, take it out!

251. Sam, the nets!

252. Drop it.

253. Drop it.

254. Steady on the winds!

255. Bring her in!

256. Tow her away.

257. Tighten up those shackles.

258. The headlines of the entire world are being monopolized

259. by the news of the capture of a fantastic monster,

260. seemingly of prehistoric origin, off the coast of Ireland.

261. Puzzled scientists are already speculating that the monster

262. may have been released from some vast suboceanic cavern

263. far beneath the earth's crust

264. by unprecedented volcanic eruptions,

265. which occurred in the area last week.

266. Some scientific authorities are suggesting

267. that the whole thing is merely an elaborate Irish hoax.

268. Nevertheless, the Irish government are sending two

269. of their top paleontologists to claim the creature

270. for Ireland if it does exist.

271. There's your friend, professor.

272. I'll tell my partner you're here.

273. Radio, skipper.

274. Those two professors from Dublin have just come on board.

275. Show 'em up.

276. I wonder if you realize, Captain Ryan,

277. the enormous scientific value of this discovery.

278. I think we do, professor.

279. Well, then,

280. the University of Dublin wants to make preparations

281. - to receive the animal. - I see.

282. You will proceed to Dublin,

283. where you'll be properly compensated for your services.

284. Oh, sure, sure.

285. Yes. Well, we'll... we'll meet there.

286. Unless you would like one of us to go with you?

287. Oh, that won't be necessary, Professor.

288. Oh, there's one thing.

289. The animal skin should be kept wet

290. with a continuous stream of water.

291. - I see. - This is most important.

292. I'll take care of it.

293. When do you intend sailing, captain?

294. Tonight, if that's okay by you.

295. Sooner the better. See you in Dublin.

296. University of Dublin.

297. Properly compensated.

298. Big deal.

299. Take a look at this, Sam.

300. It's from Dorkin's Circus in London.

301. They offer 30,000 against 50% of the gross.

302. Set a course for London, Sam.

303. I came to let you go back to the sea.

304. You little nut head!

305. What do you think you're doing?

306. Hey, take it easy.

307. I came to let him go back to the sea

308. - where he belongs. - Why?

309. Maybe to save your silly skins for ya.

310. I have a good notion to toss you over the side.

311. You won't be sending me back now.

312. - Harry? - Yeah?

313. Better get our little stowaway into a bunk

314. and wash his face.

315. Harry, put a guard on that thing 24 hours

316. - and give him a rifle. - Right now, Joe.

317. I could be watching him for ya now.

318. Yeah, you'd be great, wouldn't you?

319. Now, if it so much as moves,

320. start shooting and then run like the devil.

321. Tell us something, kid.

322. Anyone ever see that thing before?

323. And why should anybody have to see it to know it's there?

324. Go back to sleep, kid.

325. It's just phosphorus, Sam.

326. But it's coming from the scuppers.

327. It's the water off the animal.

328. So it's still salt water.

329. You seeing spirits, too?

330. Men out! Men out, quick!

331. Come on!

332. Get him ready for burial, Sam.

333. Kid, I told you to stay below.

334. Up, up.

335. Swing clear, keep her clear.

336. All right, lower it a bit.

337. A creature unique in evolutionary biology

338. and you turn it into a circus freak.

339. Outrageous. Quite apart from the fact that you stole it.

340. Now, that's a matter of opinion.

341. What's the row about?

342. They know absolutely nothing about this animal.

343. It's extremely dangerous.

344. We've managed to handle it all right so far.

345. It may be carrying disease-bearing parasites,

346. or unknown bacteria, and you bring it

347. into the heart of a great city.

348. Look, what do you want?

349. First, the opportunity to make a complete study.

350. Okay. If it doesn't interfere with business.

351. Believe me, gentlemen, once the animal's installed

352. in Battersea Park, you'll be given every facility.

353. I presume you've thought of the need of giving the animal

354. a tranquilizing drug before you transport it,

355. because if you haven't, you'd better.

356. Very well. I'll lay that on then.

357. Good day.

358. In our most unusual telecast to date,

359. we bring you the arrival of Gorgo.

360. This creature, which should have been extinct

361. 10 million years ago, is truly an awesome sight

362. as it is transported through the streets of modern London

363. on its way to Batter-sea Park.

364. Of course, Londoners are notoriously skeptical

365. and a good many we've spoken to still seem to think

366. it's all some sort of circus stunt.

367. But this animal is real. Take my word for it.

368. The police have cleared all unauthorized traffic

369. along the route as a precautionary measure.

370. Although we're assured there's no danger,

371. the creature has been given massive doses of tranquilizer.

372. Much closer to this thing and I could do

373. with a bit of tranquilizer myself.

374. Actually, it's no joke.

375. There are rumors that the animal has killed

376. a number of persons already in the process of its capture.

377. Now you see the circus grounds at Batter-sea Park,

378. in the festival gardens, where Gorgo, as he is called —

379. we don't know why — will be exhibited to the public.

380. Here we can see the intrepid Captain Ryan,

381. the one with the cap getting out of the car

382. with his partner, Mr. Slade.

383. They are the men who captured the animal

384. and I don't envy them the job.

385. And our own Mr. Dorkin, of Dorkin's Circus,

386. in the checkered suit.

387. And by the way, we'll be interviewing Mr. Dorkin

388. shortly at Batter-sea Park, so stay with us.

389. And of course, ladies and gentlemen, I realized at once

390. that this was the most shattering scientific discovery

391. of the 20th century, and so I contracted

392. for the exhibition of the animal.

393. We've built a special enclosure, you'll see it later on.

394. We rushed the job through just so everyone in London

395. will have an opportunity of seeing Gorgo for themselves.

396. - Question. - I have a report

397. from Dublin that the Irish government

398. are gonna take legal proceedings to recover the animal.

399. Yes, I believe that to be true.

400. Of course, the matter will have to go through the courts

401. in the usual way.

402. And since I have no way of knowing how quickly

403. they'll reach their decision, I suggest

404. that anyone who wants to see Gorgo does so soon

405. - at Batter-sea Park. - That name, Gorgo.

406. Does it have any special significance?

407. Oh, my dear sir, of course,

408. the monster of Greek mythology, the Gorgon,

409. a creature so terrifying that the mere sight of it

410. would turn to man a stone. Excuse me.

411. And how much money do you expect to make out of it?

412. I'll answer that question later on.

413. Lower away.

414. Lower away. Easy!

415. - Okay, Sam. - Easy does it.

416. More! More!

417. The tranquilizer seems to be working.

418. So far.

419. - Wire cutters. - Wire cutters, quick.

420. Okay.

421. Cut the net, Bosun.

422. That's a hell of a dumb thing to do!

423. Over here!

424. Flamethrowers!

425. This way!

426. Come on, this way.

427. We'll take the other side.

428. Give him another blast!

429. Okay! He's turning!

430. Move in! Watch your light function!

431. Ow!

432. - I want cotton candy. - Wait to see Gorgo.

433. Gorgo, the eighth wonder of the world.

434. Everybody in the world is talking about Gorgo,

435. but only you can see him, and only here, at Dorkin's.

436. Queuing both sides, five shillings, ladies and gentlemen.

437. Bring the children, very instructive. This way.

438. Hurry, hurry, hurry to see Gorgo.

439. The last remaining link with prehistoric times.

440. Only five shillings, ladies and gentlemen,

441. five shillings to see Gorgo.

442. There are still a few remaining places, queuing both sides.

443. Bring the children, very instructive.

444. What's that, madam? Looks like your husband?

445. Go inside and find out.

446. Sixty-five foot high Gorgo and heavier than six elephants!

447. Ice cream, here. Get your ice cream.

448. Peanuts! Popcorn!

449. Who wants a popcorn?

450. Roasted peanuts, here!

451. - Good eats! - Peanuts!

452. - Ice cream! - Popcorn!

453. - Coca Cola! - Peanuts, popcorn!

454. Chocolate!

455. Looks like a full house.

456. Not bad.

457. Hi, Sam.

458. - I was driving into town. - Have fun.

459. I thought you might like to come along.

460. Have a couple of drinks.

461. I'm having a couple of drinks.

462. How's business?

463. Great, great.

464. Why don't you get out of this dump? Live a little.

465. I've got a suite of rooms at the best hotel in town.

466. This suits us.

467. Whoa!

468. Look, Joe, these animals are going crazy.

469. Something's gonna happen, I can feel it.

470. Mike's already been killed. Who's gonna be next?

471. I'm as sorry about Mike as you are.

472. It was a tough break, that's all.

473. But he's got a wife and two kids.

474. Okay, well, we'll send them some money.

475. But he's dead and there's gonna be

476. a lot more tough breaks before this is over.

477. You've been listening to your new partner too much.

478. No. I've been listening to myself.

479. Hello?

480. Yeah, just a moment.

481. It's the professor. He says they've been trying to find you.

482. This time of night?

483. Hello?

484. Yeah.

485. Yeah, if you say so.

486. Okay.

487. He's found something out. You coming along?

488. Yeah, sure.

489. - Professor. - Come in, gentlemen.

490. Captain Ryan, the creature you have captured

491. is not an adult specimen.

492. You mean it isn't fully grown?

493. No. In fact, we believe it is in rather early infancy.

494. Are you trying to say there may be a fully-grown

495. one of these things around somewhere?

496. It's a fair assumption.

497. Where there are offspring, there are generally parents.

498. How big would a full-grown one be?

499. An approximate guess?

500. The infant, the adult.

501. That will make him nearly 200 feet tall.

502. - At the very least. - Obviously, the proper

503. authorities must be notified at once.

504. What are you trying to do?

505. Stir up a whole hornet's nest because of a few calculations

506. made on a piece of paper?

507. - Nuts to that. - I'm afraid, Captain Ryan,

508. the decision is no longer in your hands.

509. Admiral Brooks.

510. I realize the situation is fantastic —

511. One expects the fantastic from you scientists these days.

512. Tell me, Admiral, have you ever seen

513. the animal that was captured?

514. I'm afraid I haven't had the time.

515. Then perhaps you should take the time and when you do,

516. remember it first appeared at Nara Island.

517. Monitor reports there's been no communication

518. with Nara Island for three days, sir.

519. Three days?

520. Her Majesty's aircraft carrier, Royal Oak,

521. from the Admiralty White Hall.

522. Proceed to area N34 and report any unusual sightings

523. or conditions in vicinity of Nara Island.

524. This is priority A. Repeat, this priority A.

525. Reconnaissance to Corvette, alter course to 310.

526. Repeat, course 310.

527. Right.

528. They've sighted something, sir. Port, four points.

529. Port, four points.

530. Aye-aye, sir.

531. Fire number one turret!

532. There he is! Fire!

533. Reconnaissance to Corvette.

534. Observation negative. Repeat, negative.

535. Admiral Brooks.

536. Gentlemen, you've been asked to come here

537. to supply us with any information

538. in your possession which might be helpful.

539. Nara Island has been destroyed.

540. Reconnaissance aircrafts have sighted

541. a creature in this area here.

542. Excuse me, sir, that looks as though

543. the thing's heading for England.

544. Quite, and that in itself calls for an explanation.

545. You have one?

546. Well, we were putting a stream of water on it

547. during the passage.

548. It was Professor Flaherty's instructions.

549. Maybe it left some sort of track.

550. I see. Is that possible?

551. Yes, it's possible.

552. Royal Oak for Admiral Brooks, please.

553. Royal Oak coming in for Admiral Brooks.

554. Good.

555. They report at least two direct hits.

556. You've killed it?

557. It's disappeared beneath the sea.

558. They've saturated the area with charges.

559. No living thing could escape.

560. It's certainly been killed.

561. Come on, it's going down!

562. - This thing's gonna blow! - Push it!

563. Capsized.

564. Sunk with every man aboard.

565. This is terrible.

566. Well, all right, now what?

567. - What would you do? - Turn that thing

568. at the festival gardens loose, what else?

569. Take it back to the sea while we've still got a chance.

570. What the hell's the matter with you?

571. This is the 20th century.

572. There must be some way of handling an overgrown animal.

573. There's no doubt that we can stop the creature.

574. We'll call you if we need you again.

575. Good evening, gentlemen.

576. Sam, stop. He'll kill you.

577. - Turn him loose. - Stop it, Sam.

578. - He'll kill you. - Give it a chance.

579. - Let's let him go! - Stop!

580. No, no, Sam!

581. - He'll kill you! - Come on, get away!

582. Sam, don't be crazy!

583. Stop it, Sam. You're crazy.

584. Sam, Sam!

585. Sam, are you all right?

586. Sam, are you all right? Sam?

587. - He'll be all right, kid. - Sam?

588. Following the disaster of this afternoon,

589. the loss of a destroyer with all hands,

590. the admiralty has deployed major forces of the NATO fleet

591. off the mouth of the estuary in an attempt to locate

592. and destroy the monster even before it reaches

593. the coastal defenses.

594. Regulate, 25.

595. Still tracking, west 25.

596. - Back to task force. - Search 20 degrees west.

597. Dive, dive, dive!

598. Hatch secure, sir.

599. Steady as you go for torpedo, tech.

600. Course 275, range 1,500.

601. Course 275, sir.

602. Firing depth.

603. Ready to open fire, sir.

604. Fire one.

605. Fire two.

606. Having trouble in target and search area.

607. Rear tech broken, target moving toward the estuary

608. too fast to follow.

609. Get me submarine control, sector 28.

610. We're just closing the last

611. of the submarine nets now, sir.

612. Yes, sir.

613. Here!

614. Yes? Yes!

615. One moment. The nets are being torn!

616. And the connection is gone.

617. I see.

618. No, there's nothing further you can do now.

619. The creature's got through, smashed the nets.

620. Get me River Patrol.

621. I'm just off the embankment, about a hundred yards away.

622. I can see the huge beast still advancing.

623. The second line of defense has been organized,

624. greatly reinforced.

625. Ready for boarding, Charlie!

626. Oh, watch it now! Man your stations!

627. Petrol lines ready, sir!

628. Open the valves!

629. Abandon ship! Come!

630. Come on, hop to it!

631. Tell 'em you're ready.

632. Up here, behind those sandbags.

633. Fire!

634. Get me Army headquarters.

635. No, atomic weapons are out of the question

636. in any built up area.

637. - Tanks? Of course. - Roll out, roll out!

638. Up you go.

639. Attention. This is a special bulletin.

640. Civil defense authorities have declared a state of emergency

641. for all London areas within three miles

642. of the River Thames.

643. Streets must be kept clear for military

644. and defense personnel.

645. If you are without shelter,

646. go to the nearest underground and stay there.

647. The streets must be kept clear for military

648. and defense personnel.

649. All right, Sergeant, get your men up there in front.

650. - Come on, come on! - Come on, let's go!

651. Get to there orderly.

652. On the double!

653. - Come on! - Get off the streets.

654. Go to your homes.

655. Don't panic.

656. You will be notified when the emergency is over.

657. Get off the streets and move to your homes!

658. - This way! - Come on!

659. Get a move on!

660. - Up there, right there! - Move it, move it!

661. Take your positions!

662. Targeting positions!

663. It's advancing up river directly towards us.

664. Very good, sir.

665. While the Army indicates full confidence,

666. they report growing casualties among their forces.

667. We are told that Downing Street is in constant communication

668. with other world capitals, where grave concern is expressed.

669. Call headquarters, shoot the flares!

670. Open sight, fire! Standby!

671. Commence!

672. Fire!

673. The bridge is gone!

674. One of London's oldest landmarks, smashed like match wood.

675. Nothing can stop this beast so far. Nothing!

676. Not even point blank cannon fire.

677. Yes, it tore a bridge out.

678. Yeah, the power of this thing is fantastic!

679. - Check the missile units. - Yes, sir.

680. Hello.

681. Come on!

682. Back, back. Come back.

683. - On missile? - Yes, sir.

684. Call out, please.

685. We're moving into position now, sir.

686. Any estimate as to the time of alert, sir?

687. No, but standby.

688. We're zeroing in now, sir.

689. Yes, sir, I will. Forty degrees, 620.

690. Fire!

691. What's that? Come on.

692. He's burned out a connection.

693. Where's Sean?

694. Sean!

695. Come on.

696. All homes in this area must be evacuated at once.

697. Do not delay.

698. You have no time to remove your belongings.

699. Get out of the area.

700. Proceed in a westernly direction.

701. Run that way, Sam!

702. We'll meet back at Battersea!

703. Sean!

704. Stop pushing!

705. - Take it easy! - Hey!

706. It's all right, Sean.

707. We'll be all right.

708. It's all right. You'll be all right now.

709. Come on, Sean.

710. This is Piccadilly, the heart of London.

711. Words can't describe it. There's been nothing like it.

712. Not even the worst of the blitz.

713. This section is complete shambles!

714. People running mad with fear, broken gas mains,

715. fires everywhere.

716. I can't see anything at all.

717. There's... there's too much smoke.

718. Piccadilly Circus?

719. Oh, there's no way of telling where

720. this thing will turn next.

721. I don't care how important it is, you must interrupt.

722. It's imperative that I speak to the minister at once.

723. We are in Hell! Repent!

724. - I can't go any further! - Oh, you must!

725. Come on!

726. The sins of! Repent!

727. Prepare! Prepare for thy destruction!

728. Repent! Repent!

729. Repent!

730. I see.

731. Well, let me know the moment you are.

732. - Thanks for coming. - It's undoubtedly heading

733. for Battersea Park, sir, that's the place to stop it.

734. How much voltage do you estimate would be required

735. for electrocuting this animal?

736. Two million, three million volts.

737. It's only a guess. There's not much precedent to go on, sir.

738. Right. Get me Battersea Power Station.

739. Is he okay?

740. He'll be all right.

741. Switch on, full power!

742. We're waiting at Battersea.

743. Waiting, hoping, praying for a miracle.

744. The entire electricity of all industrial London

745. has been diverted to the wires surrounding

746. the small animal's enclosure.

747. Will it be enough? Will it be enough to stop the huge beast?

748. Will the miracle be granted, or will it be

749. yet another of man's puny efforts to oppose

750. this irresistible force of ancient nature?

751. Hey, Sam. I'm sorry I was wrong.

752. Power circuit has just been completed, sir.

753. - What's the reading? - Four billion volts

754. and full amperage, sir.

755. The wires won't take anymore.

756. This is good! She's going down!

757. No, no, she's tearing the wires.

758. She's lumbering now!

759. We prayed for a miracle,

760. maybe our prayers have been answered.

761. A great city overwhelmed, exhausted,

762. lies helpless under the immeasurable power

763. and ferocity of this towering apparition

764. from before the dawn of history.

765. Yet, as though disdaining the Pygmies under her feet,

766. she turns back, turns with her young,

767. leaving the prostrate city,

768. leaving the haunts of man,

769. and leaving man himself to ponder the proud boast

770. that he alone is lord of all creation.

771. They're going back now.

772. Back to the sea.
