1. We just spotted a pleasure craft
drifting offshore of Haneda.
Copy !req
2. Recon and intercept.
Over.
Copy !req
3. Roger that.
Copy !req
4. We've got the vessel in sight.
Copy !req
5. From here, there's no apparent
hull damage.
Copy !req
6. She's called "The Glory Maru."
Copy !req
7. Requesting owner information now.
Copy !req
8. In the meantime,
we're going aboard.
Copy !req
9. We're now on board.
Copy !req
10. Hello?
Anyone here?
Copy !req
11. There's no one on the flying deck.
Copy !req
12. No sign of life.
Copy !req
13. Just some personal effects.
Copy !req
14. No traces of an incident.
Copy !req
15. Maybe a fall overboard?
Copy !req
16. Vessel's vacant.
We'll prepare a tow.
Copy !req
17. Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Copy !req
18. Hey, stop!
Copy !req
19. Here's all the info
we have so far.
Copy !req
20. That eruption caused a leak
in the Aqua-Line.
Copy !req
21. As a result, water is pouring
onto the auto lanes.
Copy !req
22. A liaison office has already been set up,
Copy !req
23. and an emergency order issued.
Copy !req
24. And where's the PM?
Copy !req
25. He's arriving in 28 minutes.
Copy !req
26. We'll need intel.
Downstairs.
Copy !req
27. Right.
Copy !req
28. First report confirmed at about 8:30 am.
Copy !req
29. A leak occurred in the
Tokyo Aqua-Line tunnel
Copy !req
30. near the 2.5 kilo marker.
Copy !req
31. Seawater entered from a fissure...
Copy !req
32. Update me as you get info.
Copy !req
33. Right.
Copy !req
34. damaged by the flood.
Copy !req
35. Emergency crews are
currently on the scene.
Copy !req
36. Hamanami Coast Guard efforts are being
Copy !req
37. stymied by the steam cloud
that's in the bay.
Copy !req
38. The Aqua-Line is still closed both ways,
Copy !req
39. and safety alerts have been
issued throughout the region.
Copy !req
40. Status report, Mr. Koriyama?
Copy !req
41. We have a total of
five confirmed collisions
Copy !req
42. in the tunnel so far.
Copy !req
43. Was it an earthquake
that caused the flooding?
Copy !req
44. We're awaiting the seismic readings.
Copy !req
45. Could it be related to
that strange sea eruption?
Copy !req
46. We don't know that, not yet at least.
Copy !req
47. We've got aerials!
Copy !req
48. An underwater volcanic eruption, maybe?
Copy !req
49. If so, it's a strange one.
Copy !req
50. Coast Guard six-nine-one reporting
Copy !req
51. continued steam eruptions in the bay.
Copy !req
52. Undersea visibility is currently zero
Copy !req
53. because of all that churning water.
Copy !req
54. When the PM arrives, I'm suggesting
Copy !req
55. a unified initial response.
Copy !req
56. We'll need to reorganize.
Copy !req
57. FDMA disaster task force
Copy !req
58. is currently assembling.
Copy !req
59. Third Regional Coast Guard HQ
Copy !req
60. has sealed the bay.
As of now, there is
Copy !req
61. no sea or air access to the area.
Copy !req
62. A coastal evacuation advisory
Copy !req
63. has been issued to the public.
Copy !req
64. Attention! Please evacuate
Copy !req
65. the premises immediately!
Copy !req
66. For your safety, please
follow police instructions
Copy !req
67. and evacuate to Kisarazu!
Copy !req
68. What's happening?
Is someone hurt?
Copy !req
69. This way, and watch your head!
Copy !req
70. Cool, a slide!
Copy !req
71. Stay calm.
Copy !req
72. Heading to first aid.
Copy !req
73. This place is awesome!
Copy !req
74. Ow, my feet hurt!
Copy !req
75. You know, I bet I can sell this footage
Copy !req
76. to the news.
Copy !req
77. What was that noise?
Copy !req
78. C'mon, let's go.
Copy !req
79. Something's up there.
Copy !req
80. Please stay calm and seated...
Copy !req
81. This is bad.
Copy !req
82. Look, this is starting to freak me out.
Copy !req
83. Hey, what's that?
Copy !req
84. What? Wh-Where?
Copy !req
85. I see it, too.
Copy !req
86. Sir, the PM's arrived.
Copy !req
87. We haven't been able
to ascertain the cause
Copy !req
88. of the tunnel rupture yet.
Copy !req
89. Never mind the details.
Copy !req
90. How many fatalities have there been?
Copy !req
91. - None.
- Then things
Copy !req
92. aren't as bad as they could be.
Copy !req
93. Still, there's
a secondary disaster risk.
Copy !req
94. I've cleared your schedule
so that you can attend
Copy !req
95. an emergency meeting
in five minutes, sir.
Copy !req
96. Well then, let's get there.
Copy !req
97. Obviously, some type of
undersea thermal discharge
Copy !req
98. has occurred, but do we have
any ideas as to its cause?
Copy !req
99. The meltdown of an unidentified
Copy !req
100. nuclear submarine perhaps?
Copy !req
101. There's no way.
The bay's too shallow
Copy !req
102. for a sub so that would be impossible.
Copy !req
103. We believe the fissure was
created by magma steam.
Copy !req
104. Something that was released
by a new undersea volcano.
Copy !req
105. Um. Excuse me, sir.
Copy !req
106. While we did initially believe
that, further study has shown
Copy !req
107. the epicenter to be
shallow and just steam,
Copy !req
108. so we're now confident that
it's not volcanic activity.
Copy !req
109. You should have shared
that info with me sooner!
Copy !req
110. Sorry, sir.
Copy !req
111. Another idea forwarded is a new,
Copy !req
112. large hydrothermal vent.
Copy !req
113. Yeah, that must be it.
Copy !req
114. Come on. A vent
directly above the tunnel?
Copy !req
115. Past geological surveys would
have uncovered it years ago.
Copy !req
116. Well, maybe it was simply overlooked.
Copy !req
117. The cause... is something
on the sea floor.
Copy !req
118. Something, eh? Like what?
Copy !req
119. A colossal creature, sir.
Copy !req
120. There's some footage of it online.
Copy !req
121. That's absurd.
People probably just saw
Copy !req
122. a big whale spouting.
Copy !req
123. The sea is boiling.
Copy !req
124. No living creature could
survive those temperatures.
Copy !req
125. We've been scouring online
videos, Prime Minister,
Copy !req
126. but we've yet to find
any conclusive evidence
Copy !req
127. of the flooding's cause.
Copy !req
128. Look, time's a wasting here, people.
Copy !req
129. How about a process of elimination?
Copy !req
130. I agree. The cause is a new volcano,
Copy !req
131. or a large thermal vent.
It can't be anything else.
Copy !req
132. Then we need to plan
our general response,
Copy !req
133. ladies and gentleman.
Therefore I suggest holding
Copy !req
134. a cabinet meeting immediately.
Prime Minister?
Copy !req
135. Yes. Good idea.
Copy !req
136. In that case, let's move
to the main conference room.
Copy !req
137. We have to stay
on top of this situation.
Copy !req
138. Yaguchi.
Copy !req
139. Listen, you're going
to have to toe the line
Copy !req
140. on their decision.
Don't stir things up, okay?
Copy !req
141. I just think that we should
consider every possibility.
Copy !req
142. You're a rebel. That's good,
Copy !req
143. but the guy who got you here isn't one.
Copy !req
144. Got it? Take my advice.
Copy !req
145. I'm happy to report
that all those injured
Copy !req
146. in the tunnel are receiving care.
Copy !req
147. In order to prevent
any further accidents,
Copy !req
148. fireboats and helicopters have
been mobilized in the bay.
Copy !req
149. They stand ready to respond. Who's next?
Copy !req
150. I am. Regarding the
Tokyo Bay coastal region,
Copy !req
151. we're currently at evacuation
preparedness level one.
Copy !req
152. Due to possible debris and ash
from the previous incident
Copy !req
153. and any potential future ones,
we're considering
Copy !req
154. the possibility of grounding
all flights out of Haneda.
Copy !req
155. Please forgive me.
I was just handed a correction.
Copy !req
156. It's been decided to
definitely ground all flights
Copy !req
157. out of Haneda to ensure citizen safety.
Copy !req
158. No flights will be going in
or out until further notice.
Copy !req
159. In regards to
the undersea volcano-induced
Copy !req
160. flooding of the Aqua-Line Tunnel,
Copy !req
161. it's fortunate that
no toxic gases whatsoever
Copy !req
162. have been detected thus far.
Copy !req
163. A team from the Meteorological
Agency has been mobilized.
Copy !req
164. As has a group of experts
from the Coast Guard.
Copy !req
165. And both are now currently
on route to conduct
Copy !req
166. a thorough investigation of the cause.
Copy !req
167. Everyone. I've been notified
that eruption activity
Copy !req
168. is dying down rapidly!
Copy !req
169. Huh?
Copy !req
170. Is it over?
Copy !req
171. No big deal, I guess.
Copy !req
172. Sir. With all due respect,
Copy !req
173. I must reiterate the presence
of a large marine creature...
Copy !req
174. as a possible cause.
Copy !req
175. Yaguchi, this is a serious
matter. Not some joke.
Copy !req
176. I agree. This is a ministerial
meeting after all.
Copy !req
177. Don't make a mockery of it.
Copy !req
178. And with no time frame for restoration,
Copy !req
179. we can expect...
Copy !req
180. Sir? There's been another incident.
Copy !req
181. Turn on the TV.
Copy !req
182. Sorry! But we have
to suspend this meeting!
Copy !req
183. The TV! Turn it on now!
Copy !req
184. It's unbelievable! Look at
Copy !req
185. the size of it! I...
and I doubt anyone else...
Copy !req
186. has ever seen anything like it before!
Copy !req
187. A few minutes ago, this strange...
Copy !req
188. Wh-What is that thing?
Copy !req
189. - A tail?
- It appears so.
Copy !req
190. I guess Yaguchi's "joke"
Copy !req
191. is no laughing matter after all, huh?
Copy !req
192. This meeting's adjourned!
All cabinet heads, please,
Copy !req
193. let's assemble in the Prime
Minister's office right away!
Copy !req
194. Eyewitness News chopper just...
Copy !req
195. So what is this thing?
Copy !req
196. "Giant Unidentified Lifeform," sir.
Copy !req
197. That's what we're calling it
for now. But, um...
Copy !req
198. That name, it will
more than likely change
Copy !req
199. since we're currently
compiling a list of
Copy !req
200. leading biologists and
scientists to consult with
Copy !req
201. on the subject. Once done,
they'll come here
Copy !req
202. for an emergency meeting
to ascertain what this
Copy !req
203. thing is and what we should call it.
Copy !req
204. We need to know now!
Get them here!
Copy !req
205. - Right!
- Sir.
Copy !req
206. Until these folks arrive,
we should focus on
Copy !req
207. something else. Our response.
Copy !req
208. Yes, of course.
Copy !req
209. How do we respond to
something that's unprecedented?
Copy !req
210. I think that the choices are
obviously quite simple.
Copy !req
211. We can do nothing and just let it go,
Copy !req
212. or capture it, try to exterminate it,
Copy !req
213. or possibly even
attempt to chase it off.
Copy !req
214. I vote for extermination.
Copy !req
215. And I concur. Look at
the costs incurred already
Copy !req
216. with the tunnel, and the
Haneda flight groundings.
Copy !req
217. Plus, if Tokyo Bay remains
closed indefinitely,
Copy !req
218. those costs are going
to skyrocket, gentlemen.
Copy !req
219. I agree, and vote to exterminate it.
Copy !req
220. Me, too. The sooner, the better.
Copy !req
221. And you? Defense?
Copy !req
222. Eeh...
Copy !req
223. While it's true that we have prepared
Copy !req
224. for a wildlife-based threat
before, it was never with
Copy !req
225. self-defense forces
using weapons in the bay.
Copy !req
226. I vote no.
Copy !req
227. Well, in that case, why blow it up?
Copy !req
228. Can't we chase it off?
Copy !req
229. If I may.
Copy !req
230. We might want to factor in the
public's opinion, as well.
Copy !req
231. So, you know, academics
and environmentalists
Copy !req
232. are raising a stink
and they're calling for
Copy !req
233. its live capture as a new species.
Copy !req
234. No, let's kill it.
Copy !req
235. A few torpedoes won't hurt the bay.
Copy !req
236. The use of weapons actually could,
Copy !req
237. and that's why I'm advocating
for a live capture instead.
Copy !req
238. I do as well.
I think capturing the thing
Copy !req
239. is our best option at this point.
Copy !req
240. Go gather all the intel
you can on the lifeform.
Copy !req
241. And the options for
extermination, capture,
Copy !req
242. and expulsion and what
those things might require.
Copy !req
243. Seems like they're evenly
divided, aren't they?
Copy !req
244. Sorry, who are you addressing?
Copy !req
245. A vapor cloud's been spotted moving
Copy !req
246. near the Tama River!
Copy !req
247. What? "Moving"?
Copy !req
248. It's alive, isn't it?
Copy !req
249. The creature's just off of
Haneda Airport, near Runway D,
Copy !req
250. and it appears to be
entering the Tama River.
Copy !req
251. Whoa!
Copy !req
252. We just got a report from
the Bayshore Expressway!
Copy !req
253. It's flooding!
Copy !req
254. Damn, not again!
Copy !req
255. Forget capturing it.
Copy !req
256. Sir. Three experts have arrived.
Copy !req
257. I suggest we go consult
with them right now.
Copy !req
258. From the TV images, it's indiscernible
Copy !req
259. whether this thing could
possibly be a relic dinosaur
Copy !req
260. or some undiscovered whale species.
Copy !req
261. In my opinion,
the creature is a heretofore
Copy !req
262. unknown aquatic species.
Copy !req
263. But I can't say for certain
without an examination.
Copy !req
264. Since I don't know if
this footage is legitimate,
Copy !req
265. I cannot say. If I comment
on unverified evidence...
Copy !req
266. I could lose my
credibility as a biologist.
Copy !req
267. It's wrapping up.
We'll resume shortly.
Copy !req
268. Can't be good if it's already over.
Copy !req
269. Sorry to say, but that was
a huge waste of time.
Copy !req
270. I agree, sir.
Copy !req
271. Those experts were useless.
Copy !req
272. Get me some people who know something.
Copy !req
273. On it, sir.
Copy !req
274. Shimura. Any ideas?
Copy !req
275. Well, I do have a college friend
Copy !req
276. who's with the Environment
Ministry, but she's low-ranking.
Copy !req
277. That's okay, call her now.
Copy !req
278. This creature...
it appears to be serpentine
Copy !req
279. with auxiliary ambulation, and
even though it possesses gills,
Copy !req
280. it also has legs
just like a lungfish does.
Copy !req
281. Huh. If it has legs
then can it come on land?
Copy !req
282. Yes, it's a possibility.
Copy !req
283. If it does, who stops it?
Copy !req
284. Well, frankly, we haven't
determined which agency
Copy !req
285. it falls under yet, sir.
Copy !req
286. Um, one of our scientists
is of the belief
Copy !req
287. that the creature's fin-like
feet would more than likely
Copy !req
288. be crushed by the immense
weight of its own body.
Copy !req
289. So it coming ashore should be
Copy !req
290. physiologically impossible.
Copy !req
291. We can't be sure of that since we're
Copy !req
292. dealing with an unknown animal.
Copy !req
293. Is that so? Do you
share this view as well?
Copy !req
294. I apologize for the deputy
chief's lack of decorum, sir,
Copy !req
295. but just as your experts
have already concluded,
Copy !req
296. I believe the creature coming
on land is quite improbable.
Copy !req
297. I see.
Copy !req
298. Sir. Regarding the
damage to the tunnels...
Copy !req
299. I'd like to humbly suggest
that the sooner we hold
Copy !req
300. an official press conference to
calm the public, the better.
Copy !req
301. But sir, I must stress this,
Copy !req
302. please be careful that you
only give out information
Copy !req
303. that's been verified thus far.
Copy !req
304. Let's do this.
Copy !req
305. Please get my uniform ready.
Copy !req
306. Earlier in the day,
Copy !req
307. both the Aqua-Line
and Tama River tunnels
Copy !req
308. sustained significant damage.
Copy !req
309. We're currently tracking
the creature responsible
Copy !req
310. as it moves up the Nomi River.
Copy !req
311. We've yet to positively
identify what sort of
Copy !req
312. animal it is, but we don't believe
Copy !req
313. that it can come on land.
Copy !req
314. Even though it's unlikely,
should it beach itself
Copy !req
315. in the bay's shallows
there is no need to fear.
Copy !req
316. Our experts believe its own
weight would crush it to death.
Copy !req
317. I repeat, there is no danger
Copy !req
318. of the creature coming ashore.
Copy !req
319. So please set your minds at ease.
Copy !req
320. Thank you. That will be all.
Copy !req
321. Sir, sorry to interrupt.
Copy !req
322. What? It has?
Copy !req
323. Well, well. No danger
of coming ashore, huh?
Copy !req
324. Well, now what? I was
just proven a liar on TV!
Copy !req
325. But sir, like Akasaka said,
Copy !req
326. you were only supposed
to give verified info!
Copy !req
327. I wanted to reassure the public.
Copy !req
328. How's that thing ashore?
Copy !req
329. We don't know.
We've posed that question
Copy !req
330. to our experts and
are waiting to hear back.
Copy !req
331. To hell with them.
We have to act.
Copy !req
332. Sir. We need to set up emergency
Copy !req
333. disaster control headquarters now.
Copy !req
334. Then do it.
Copy !req
335. This cabinet council
meeting is now adjourned.
Copy !req
336. Let's get to work.
Copy !req
337. There's so much bureaucracy involved.
Copy !req
338. Every action requires a meeting.
Copy !req
339. Come on, don't knock red tape.
Copy !req
340. It's the foundation of democracy.
Copy !req
341. Why does there have to be so much
Copy !req
342. for a press conference?
Copy !req
343. In the last few hours, we have set up
Copy !req
344. emergency disaster control headquarters.
Copy !req
345. Its sole purpose is to combat
the Giant Unidentified Lifeform
Copy !req
346. that has come ashore.
Copy !req
347. We are crafting a full-scale response
Copy !req
348. to secure citizen safety,
and that includes
Copy !req
349. coordinated evacuation with both Tokyo
Copy !req
350. and federal government agencies.
Copy !req
351. Evacuation instructions
will be issued shortly
Copy !req
352. for areas along the creature's path.
Copy !req
353. The creature is currently headed
Copy !req
354. towards Shinagawa.
We're clocking it at a speed of
Copy !req
355. about 13 kilometers an hour.
Copy !req
356. For something so big,
it moves quite slowly.
Copy !req
357. But it could still
reach Tokyo in three hours
Copy !req
358. - at that pace.
- Just imagine what
Copy !req
359. that thing could do to this city.
Copy !req
360. Good God. The damage here
would be catastrophic.
Copy !req
361. Let's exterminate this thing right now!
Copy !req
362. Not in densely-populated areas!
Copy !req
363. We have to evacuate the citizens first.
Copy !req
364. Have MIC and MLIT set up
evacuation zones and transport.
Copy !req
365. The PM's ordered us to conduct
Copy !req
366. evacuation measures!
Report to your stations!
Copy !req
367. I thought the orders
would have come much sooner.
Copy !req
368. I can't say I'm surprised.
Copy !req
369. The First Reponses manual
doesn't cover this.
Copy !req
370. An evacuation due to a monster.
Copy !req
371. What's more, an expedited one.
Copy !req
372. We've never even drilled for this type
Copy !req
373. of action before, sir.
Copy !req
374. Plus, a city-wide evacuation
will more than likely
Copy !req
375. cause a general panic.
Copy !req
376. There'll be mass gridlock with everyone
Copy !req
377. trying to leave the city.
Copy !req
378. In that case, we'll make every effort
Copy !req
379. to control the traffic.
Copy !req
380. Traffic signals are out of order.
Copy !req
381. For your safety,
please leave your vehicles
Copy !req
382. and follow police and safety
personnel instructions.
Copy !req
383. Attention! Attention!
Copy !req
384. A full evacuation of
Shinagawa has been issued.
Copy !req
385. All residents are required to evacuate
Copy !req
386. the area immediately.
Copy !req
387. Hon! Hurry!
Copy !req
388. At this rate the city'll be in ruins.
Copy !req
389. Contact Public Safety.
Get them on the horn now.
Copy !req
390. Tell them we're requesting
Self-Defense Forces
Copy !req
391. to come exterminate that thing.
Copy !req
392. So they want to use weapons?
Copy !req
393. Correct. Article 76
says in an armed attack,
Copy !req
394. Self-Defense troops
are allowed to use force.
Copy !req
395. But this doesn't
qualify as an armed attack.
Copy !req
396. And to be accurate,
Article 76 stipulates
Copy !req
397. "by an aggressor country
or equivalent force."
Copy !req
398. Not some monster.
Copy !req
399. We don't have time
to argue over semantics.
Copy !req
400. Only the SDF is equipped to respond.
Copy !req
401. This request, it means soldiers
engaging in urban combat.
Copy !req
402. That's certainly going to give
Copy !req
403. the Prime Minister pause.
Copy !req
404. All due respect,
Copy !req
405. but we need a response with
a two-pronged approach.
Copy !req
406. Military force and citizen evacuation.
Copy !req
407. I also urge you to declare
a state of emergency.
Copy !req
408. Right now, it appears
that we have only one option,
Copy !req
409. and that's mobilization
for defense, of course.
Copy !req
410. But we can only do that
on your orders, sir.
Copy !req
411. You're talking about a
declaration with no precedent.
Copy !req
412. We'd be... mobilizing
the country for war.
Copy !req
413. What's more, the police are still
Copy !req
414. evacuating thousands of people.
Copy !req
415. If we launch a military strike,
there is a high likelihood
Copy !req
416. of collateral damage
in terms of casualties.
Copy !req
417. I don't want that.
Copy !req
418. The US forces that are here.
Copy !req
419. Can't we get them to kill this
beast under the Security Treaty?
Copy !req
420. No, our government and SDF,
we have to move first here.
Copy !req
421. Even under the Treaty, the US
can only provide support.
Copy !req
422. We're facing a living organism.
Copy !req
423. And an unknown one, so aggravating it
Copy !req
424. might lead to more damage.
Copy !req
425. It is an organism.
Copy !req
426. And that means, we can stop
the thing in its tracks.
Copy !req
427. And unlike an earthquake or a typhoon,
Copy !req
428. we can halt its progress.
Copy !req
429. Lives, sir. That should
be our top priority.
Copy !req
430. Sir, I know this must
be a difficult decision,
Copy !req
431. but to prevent further calamity
Copy !req
432. your authorization is needed now.
Copy !req
433. Wait, right this instant?
You're serious?
Copy !req
434. Time is wasting. Your answer.
Copy !req
435. Moments ago, the Prime Minister declared
Copy !req
436. a national state
of emergency in response
Copy !req
437. to the giant creature
that has come ashore.
Copy !req
438. He's also called for
the first-ever mobilization
Copy !req
439. of Self-Defense Forces
in this nation's history.
Copy !req
440. This makes it Japan's
first military action
Copy !req
441. since World War II, and when
asked for justification,
Copy !req
442. the Prime Minister referenced
the terminology in Article 76.
Copy !req
443. Nerima 1st Division was dispatched
Copy !req
444. at Tokyo's request.
Copy !req
445. While this group has been tasked with
Copy !req
446. guiding both rescue
and evacuation efforts,
Copy !req
447. I must stress that they are
not equipped for battle.
Copy !req
448. I'd say attack helicopters
would be our best defense.
Copy !req
449. - Contact Kisarazu Base.
- Sir!
Copy !req
450. Shall we deploy F-2s from Misawa Base?
Copy !req
451. No. Any civilian
casualties could destroy
Copy !req
452. the SDF forever.
So let's minimize firepower.
Copy !req
453. But we still don't know
this thing's strength.
Copy !req
454. I think we need to be prepared
for anything in this case.
Copy !req
455. I agree. That's why
I'm going to recommend
Copy !req
456. an integrated, three-force operation.
Copy !req
457. Call the PM.
Copy !req
458. According to this plan, the joint force
Copy !req
459. will be led by the Eastern Army.
Copy !req
460. The goal is extermination.
Copy !req
461. The ground troops.
Copy !req
462. They'll continue to evacuate
all of the citizens.
Copy !req
463. With your permission,
Copy !req
464. our rapid response helicopters
will attack the creature.
Copy !req
465. Sir, it's very likely that some elderly
Copy !req
466. and infirm people might
still remain in the city.
Copy !req
467. That's why I can't make a decision
Copy !req
468. without an inspection first.
Copy !req
469. Unfortunately, under
conditions like these,
Copy !req
470. I'd say some collateral damage
is unavoidable now.
Copy !req
471. Sir, I know this isn't easy for you,
Copy !req
472. but we need a decision.
Copy !req
473. Understood.
Copy !req
474. This is a risky mission against
Copy !req
475. an unknown enemy.
Did this group volunteer?
Copy !req
476. No, standard rotation.
Copy !req
477. They said this is what
they signed up for, sir.
Copy !req
478. Pilots! Good luck!
Copy !req
479. Lifting off from Kisarazu at 13:08.
Copy !req
480. ETA 13:20, over.
Copy !req
481. What a relief this is.
That thing will be dead soon.
Copy !req
482. I'm sure the choppers
will make short work of it.
Copy !req
483. Yeah. I bet we could turn its carcass
Copy !req
484. into a big tourist attraction.
Copy !req
485. Sirs. Just as a reminder,
Copy !req
486. the Old Imperial Army thought like that.
Copy !req
487. During the last war,
their armchair theories
Copy !req
488. led to the loss of three
million Japanese lives.
Copy !req
489. So beware of unfounded optimism.
Copy !req
490. Please watch your step!
Copy !req
491. Remain calm!
Copy !req
492. This way, please!
Pick up the pace!
Copy !req
493. Local evacuation centers are useless!
Copy !req
494. Tell us where to send
these people! Hurry!
Copy !req
495. The creature's progression!
Copy !req
496. Somehow it's suddenly stopped!
Copy !req
497. Stopped? But why now?
Copy !req
498. Look.
Copy !req
499. It's evolving.
Copy !req
500. Attacker 1, this is CP, over.
Copy !req
501. Copy that, CP, over.
Copy !req
502. Head to holding area 2
to await further orders. Over.
Copy !req
503. Attacker 1. Copy.
Copy !req
504. It's not like we were told.
Copy !req
505. CP, it's Attacker 1.
Copy !req
506. Target differs from report, and
that thing is much bigger now.
Copy !req
507. Attacker 1.
Hold your position
Copy !req
508. and await further instructions. Over.
Copy !req
509. I was just informed that resident
Copy !req
510. evacuation is complete.
Copy !req
511. Excellent. Minister,
we're now ready to open fire.
Copy !req
512. Understood.
Copy !req
513. Well, sir, we'll fire at your command.
Copy !req
514. Say the word.
Copy !req
515. Very well. Fire.
Copy !req
516. Attacker 1, you have
a greenlight from the PM.
Copy !req
517. Commence fire on the creature.
Copy !req
518. I repeat, commence fire. Over.
Copy !req
519. Copy that, CP.
Commencing fire.
Copy !req
520. Target in sight.
Copy !req
521. Aim straight for the head.
Copy !req
522. Ready. Aim.
Copy !req
523. Wait, hold your fire!
Copy !req
524. Why aren't they firing?
Copy !req
525. We just spotted a few civilians
near the line of fire!
Copy !req
526. Civies present. Can we fire?
Copy !req
527. Can we fire if civilians are present?
Copy !req
528. So do we wait?
Or do we fire?
Copy !req
529. Civilians present.
So do we proceed or abort?
Copy !req
530. Sir. Your answer. We need it!
Copy !req
531. Now, sir!
Copy !req
532. Abort. Call it off.
Copy !req
533. Do it now.
We must protect civilians!
Copy !req
534. Attacker 1, abort and move
to holding positions. Over.
Copy !req
535. Copy that CP. Over.
Copy !req
536. The creature is currently
Copy !req
537. on the move again.
Copy !req
538. It's breaking through the expressway
Copy !req
539. and appears to be headed
towards Tokyo Bay.
Copy !req
540. All flights out of Narita
Copy !req
541. have been canceled.
Copy !req
542. We have several reports of fires
Copy !req
543. blazing out of control...
Copy !req
544. The Transit Authority verified that...
Copy !req
545. Meanwhile, pledges of support
Copy !req
546. continue to pour in from...
Copy !req
547. and more supplies and aid workers
Copy !req
548. are said to be on their way here now.
Copy !req
549. The Tokyo Stock Exchange will be
Copy !req
550. open as usual today.
Copy !req
551. Barring any unforeseen events,
Copy !req
552. the bullet-train is
operating shuttle service
Copy !req
553. from Shin-Yokohama.
Copy !req
554. Scientific envoys from France
Copy !req
555. and other nations
have arrived in an attempt
Copy !req
556. to help the government
ascertain the exact nature...
Copy !req
557. so the search zone is
Copy !req
558. being expanded to cover a
much wider area. Officials...
Copy !req
559. bringing the total number
Copy !req
560. of confirmed casualties
to 100 at this hour,
Copy !req
561. but rescue personnel are still...
Copy !req
562. reportedly been put out.
Copy !req
563. While government officials
search for the creature,
Copy !req
564. Disaster Management Minister Kanai
Copy !req
565. is leading an envoy to survey and assess
Copy !req
566. the damage that it's caused.
Copy !req
567. It was ashore for what, maybe two hours?
Copy !req
568. And it did all this?
Copy !req
569. No. We did wasting time
with our response.
Copy !req
570. It's our fault.
Copy !req
571. We didn't know what it
could do. It surprised us.
Copy !req
572. Everyone did their best
in the circumstances.
Copy !req
573. So don't be so damn smug.
Copy !req
574. It's time to speak to the press,
Minister Kanai.
Copy !req
575. This way, please.
Copy !req
576. Okay.
Copy !req
577. We've arrived at the coordinates
Copy !req
578. that you requested, Captain.
Copy !req
579. Full stop, begin scanning operation.
Copy !req
580. We believe the creature more than likely
Copy !req
581. submerged itself somewhere
on the seafloor off Kanaya.
Copy !req
582. So then, we've stepped up patrols
Copy !req
583. and strengthened our
surveillance around Chiba
Copy !req
584. and Sagami Bay as well.
Copy !req
585. But if that thing's hiding
somewhere in the Sagami Trough,
Copy !req
586. detection's a moot point.
Copy !req
587. Who knows when or where than damn thing
Copy !req
588. will emerge next?
Copy !req
589. How are the preparations coming along?
Copy !req
590. A rapid land strategy at
water's edge won't be easy.
Copy !req
591. I suggest multiple plans.
Copy !req
592. I agree, so get to work devising them.
Copy !req
593. I want to see numerous ones
for a landing point
Copy !req
594. encounter and expeditionary pursuit.
Copy !req
595. - Right.
- Sir. I'll get on them.
Copy !req
596. And they will include a number
of different artillery,
Copy !req
597. tank, and F-2 scenarios.
Copy !req
598. Well, well.
Copy !req
599. Defensive operations
lean heavily on Kanto.
Copy !req
600. I knew the metro area
would take top priority.
Copy !req
601. Yep. Sounds like a fifth floor order.
Copy !req
602. But why Kanto and not the other regions?
Copy !req
603. Well, you see, in regards
to the other regions...
Copy !req
604. at least in terms of the GNP...
Copy !req
605. they make up 17% of the total.
Copy !req
606. But Kanto, on the
other hand, it makes up
Copy !req
607. a whopping 40% of it.
Copy !req
608. Gotta admit that sounds like
Copy !req
609. a real prudent strategy to me.
Copy !req
610. I'd hate to make that decision.
Copy !req
611. That's right, and in fact,
they've even set up
Copy !req
612. a special response team
in the PM residence.
Copy !req
613. You don't say.
I also heard you were
Copy !req
614. appointed its bureau chief.
Copy !req
615. Well, look at you.
You're big time.
Copy !req
616. But I still need you to pick the team.
Copy !req
617. Can you do that for me?
Copy !req
618. 'Course I can.
Copy !req
619. I'll bring you people who'll
speak their minds to the PM.
Copy !req
620. Good. I'll need them.
Copy !req
621. - I'm Tachikawa.
- I'm Takeo.
Copy !req
622. Ready, lift.
Copy !req
623. My name's Rando Yaguchi.
Copy !req
624. Thank you all for coming here.
Copy !req
625. This operation'll be an informal one.
Copy !req
626. Titles and seniority
don't mean anything here
Copy !req
627. and you can speak freely.
Copy !req
628. Well, that's it.
Copy !req
629. I'm nominally in charge,
and we're relying on you,
Copy !req
630. a crack team of lone wolves,
nerds, troublemakers,
Copy !req
631. academic heretics, freaks, and general
Copy !req
632. pains-in-the-butt-of-the-bureaucracy.
Copy !req
633. We need your expertise.
So let's have it.
Copy !req
634. Here are the basic specs
we have on the creature,
Copy !req
635. so find out what you can.
Copy !req
636. - Is this all?
- Yeah, that's all.
Copy !req
637. We have to fill in
the blanks for the rest.
Copy !req
638. If you have any info
whatsoever, share it.
Copy !req
639. Yes, since yesterday's
so-called "experts,"
Copy !req
640. they were too baffled
to conclude anything,
Copy !req
641. and then people died as a result.
Copy !req
642. This is a simple profile I put together.
Copy !req
643. It shows the three mutations
we've seen so far.
Copy !req
644. I believe that more are coming.
Copy !req
645. What is this thing?
Copy !req
646. Um, well. We're analyzing a sample of
Copy !req
647. its body fluid at our lab to find out.
Copy !req
648. If you pass some samples onto me,
Copy !req
649. I can get us outside help.
Copy !req
650. Yeah, I'd love to do that,
Copy !req
651. but the US took everything we had left.
Copy !req
652. As for the on-site remains,
Copy !req
653. they're currently being burned
because of the stench.
Copy !req
654. Yeah, I heard.
Copy !req
655. And at the insistence of the Americans.
Copy !req
656. Then we leave the analysis to you.
Copy !req
657. Okay, what about its behavioral biology?
Copy !req
658. Well, behaviorally, all that
it's done so far is move,
Copy !req
659. so we can't determine intellect.
Copy !req
660. Based on that fact, I think that
Copy !req
661. communication with it is unlikely.
Copy !req
662. One simple question.
Copy !req
663. What's this thing's energy source?
Copy !req
664. It's big. So huge that
it would need an enormous
Copy !req
665. amount of energy not just to move,
Copy !req
666. but also metabolically.
Copy !req
667. But at that size,
oxygen conversion in its
Copy !req
668. digestive tract just wouldn't be enough.
Copy !req
669. Maybe the answer...
Copy !req
670. is nuclear fission?
Copy !req
671. Sense of humor, Miss Ogashira?
Copy !req
672. That's impossible.
Copy !req
673. A US carrier is leaving port?
Copy !req
674. Correct. We heard that Yokosuka City's
Copy !req
675. radiation monitoring alert went
off and that could be why.
Copy !req
676. Let me check.
Copy !req
677. I'll call the Nuclear
Regulation Authority.
Copy !req
678. I have orders not to
go public about this just yet,
Copy !req
679. but radiation levels in the metro area
Copy !req
680. have risen in the last day.
Copy !req
681. Could this be caused
by a leak somewhere?
Copy !req
682. Have you checked?
Copy !req
683. Yes. My team's inspected
all of the nation's reactors
Copy !req
684. and didn't find a leak at any of them.
Copy !req
685. Then where's it coming from?
Copy !req
686. Is this even possible?
Copy !req
687. What?
Copy !req
688. Quick! Here, look at this!
Copy !req
689. This data shows
radiation spikes that match
Copy !req
690. the path the creature took.
Copy !req
691. Look at this!
Copy !req
692. See?
Copy !req
693. Miss Ogashira was right after all.
Copy !req
694. Sorry.
Copy !req
695. This information has
apparently already gone viral.
Copy !req
696. That isn't good. Contact the
Chief Cabinet Secretary.
Copy !req
697. This will be trouble.
Copy !req
698. The PM needs to call a press
conference right away, sir.
Copy !req
699. Actually, I think we should hold off.
Copy !req
700. Unless you can absolutely prove
that the creature's radioactive,
Copy !req
701. this could set off a huge wave of panic.
Copy !req
702. And it's not enough of a spike
to warrant evacuation.
Copy !req
703. We also don't have any legal
grounds to implement one.
Copy !req
704. But still, we are dealing
with elevated radiation.
Copy !req
705. Please remember that.
Copy !req
706. You're right. We can't wait.
I'll talk to the PM.
Copy !req
707. You there.
Copy !req
708. Schedule a briefing with
the PM in five minutes.
Copy !req
709. Yes. President Ross.
Copy !req
710. I understand. Thank you.
Copy !req
711. So many unilateral requests.
Copy !req
712. Typically, American.
Copy !req
713. I've got word about
an assistant Deputy Chief
Copy !req
714. to the US President.
Copy !req
715. They're requesting a secret
meeting with the PM.
Copy !req
716. They move fast, don't they?
Copy !req
717. Yeah. He just left Yokota Air Base
Copy !req
718. and is already en route to see the PM.
Copy !req
719. The Foreign Ministry's
in an uproar, of course.
Copy !req
720. Oh, and this Deputy Chief's aide.
Copy !req
721. They made a request and are
coming here to meet with you.
Copy !req
722. With me? But why?
Copy !req
723. I need someone within the government
Copy !req
724. that I can work with.
Copy !req
725. I'm familiar with your record
and your interesting history,
Copy !req
726. so the most obvious choice is you.
Copy !req
727. Don't you think?
Copy !req
728. Well. I'm honored, but Hideki Akasaka
Copy !req
729. would be a better choice.
Copy !req
730. Thanks, but he turned me down already.
Copy !req
731. All I need is a favor
that won't stain my record.
Copy !req
732. I want you to find someone for me.
Copy !req
733. And who might that be?
Copy !req
734. A man who foresaw
the coming of that creature
Copy !req
735. many years before
it ravaged your country.
Copy !req
736. Are you interested?
Copy !req
737. We know he landed
at Narita seven days ago.
Copy !req
738. Goro Maki.
Copy !req
739. Japanese. Former professor.
Copy !req
740. I hear that your
intelligence agency is...
Copy !req
741. First-rate.
Copy !req
742. And what's in it for us?
Copy !req
743. Give us Goro Maki and we'll give you
Copy !req
744. all the intel we have on your creature.
Copy !req
745. But listen. Let's keep this
op bilateral, okay?
Copy !req
746. Just US-Japan. So, win-win.
Copy !req
747. Understood. Let's get to it.
Copy !req
748. Thank you.
Copy !req
749. Ugh! I rushed to Yokota
straight from a party
Copy !req
750. so I didn't have time to change.
Copy !req
751. Where's a Zara?
Copy !req
752. Kayoco Anne Patterson.
Copy !req
753. She's very young.
Copy !req
754. America admirably values
performance over age,
Copy !req
755. and she's Senator Patterson's daughter.
Copy !req
756. Ah, the same one
behind the Kern Agreement.
Copy !req
757. Formidable. A mixture of
talent, pedigree,
Copy !req
758. and coattail-riding, huh?
Copy !req
759. I suspect she's not really your type.
Copy !req
760. Nope. Since she uses
her father's connections
Copy !req
761. in such an unabashed way,
she's the political type.
Copy !req
762. Like Yaguchi.
Copy !req
763. A search at a time like this?
Copy !req
764. It's for Rando Yaguchi.
Copy !req
765. I owe his father a debt, a great one.
Copy !req
766. Use as many agents as you need.
Copy !req
767. This is the subject's profile.
Copy !req
768. A professor who was
expelled from his university
Copy !req
769. and left Japan as a result.
Copy !req
770. Although a biologist,
he ended up working for
Copy !req
771. an energy firm in
the US. Interesting guy.
Copy !req
772. Is this a red notice?
Copy !req
773. No. You just need to locate him.
Copy !req
774. Once he's found, the NSA
or CIA, they'll move in.
Copy !req
775. And discreetly, I hear.
Copy !req
776. His last known whereabouts.
Copy !req
777. My grandmother's homeland
certainly works fast.
Copy !req
778. Goro Maki's missing.
Copy !req
779. His boat was found
adrift a few days ago,
Copy !req
780. but there was no trace of him.
Copy !req
781. Miss Patterson.
Copy !req
782. Were you only looking for Goro Maki?
Copy !req
783. - Or this as well?
- Yeah, that too.
Copy !req
784. "Now do as you please.
I did the same."
Copy !req
785. His last words?
Copy !req
786. Do you want to confirm this?
Copy !req
787. No need.
Copy !req
788. I trust you. This is in special ink,
Copy !req
789. it can't be copied.
Copy !req
790. I'll just take photos then,
to share with my team.
Copy !req
791. God... zilla?
Copy !req
792. That's right.
It's the DOE's code name.
Copy !req
793. Godzilla. He gave it an English name.
Copy !req
794. Gojira. What's it mean?
Copy !req
795. I found one link.
Copy !req
796. On Ohdo island where Maki's from,
Copy !req
797. Gojira means "god incarnate."
Copy !req
798. A violent one.
Copy !req
799. That's apparently why he put
"God" in the name he gave it.
Copy !req
800. In Japanese,
the characters read "Gojira."
Copy !req
801. "Gojira..." you say?
Copy !req
802. Who cares about its name at this point?
Copy !req
803. It sounds ridiculous.
Copy !req
804. It's just as well,
the name originated in the US.
Copy !req
805. At least now we know what
to call it. "Gojira."
Copy !req
806. Just in, and according
to multiple sources,
Copy !req
807. in regards to the giant creature,
Copy !req
808. "Gojira" is the unofficial name by which
Copy !req
809. the government is calling it.
Copy !req
810. Goro Maki?
An ex-biology professor
Copy !req
811. at Jonan U, huh?
Copy !req
812. Find out all that
you can about this guy.
Copy !req
813. Do so and you'll get an exclusive
Copy !req
814. when the time's right to go to print.
Copy !req
815. That's a promise.
Hope that's enticing enough.
Copy !req
816. Yep. It sure is.
Copy !req
817. Sixty years ago.
Copy !req
818. So this is all about unregulated dumping
Copy !req
819. of radioactive materials.
Copy !req
820. Don't tell me.
Copy !req
821. Gojira fed on these.
Copy !req
822. Yes. That's the DOE's conclusion.
Copy !req
823. They sent requests
to various institutions
Copy !req
824. to analyze what exactly had
been held in those containers.
Copy !req
825. Goro Maki was on staff
at one who responded.
Copy !req
826. According to him, this thing wasn't just
Copy !req
827. an ancient species of marine life.
Copy !req
828. But now, one also surrounded
by radioactive waste.
Copy !req
829. Exposure didn't kill this creature,
Copy !req
830. but mutated it into
an entirely new lifeform.
Copy !req
831. And that is his Godzilla theory.
Copy !req
832. But it's continuing
to mutate since its body
Copy !req
833. lengthened and changed
after it came ashore.
Copy !req
834. Yes. It can somehow
mutate itself to live
Copy !req
835. on both land and sea.
Copy !req
836. I have to admit
its capabilities far surpass
Copy !req
837. anything I could ever imagine.
Copy !req
838. This is all the
information at my disposal.
Copy !req
839. What comes next?
Copy !req
840. Personal service.
Copy !req
841. Oh.
Copy !req
842. This is what Goro Maki left behind?
Copy !req
843. Mhmmm.
Copy !req
844. I can't make sense of it.
Copy !req
845. This thing's not a molecular array,
Copy !req
846. so how's it relate to Gojira?
Copy !req
847. Well, perhaps it's an analytical table.
Copy !req
848. One with structural layers.
Copy !req
849. Even though Maki intentionally left out
Copy !req
850. some final data in
his original hypothesis,
Copy !req
851. we now have the complete
version we can study.
Copy !req
852. We'd like to analyze
that info. Can we do that?
Copy !req
853. Sure.
Copy !req
854. I'm bad at Japanese honorifics,
Copy !req
855. so can we be informal?
Copy !req
856. In that case,
Copy !req
857. can you tell me what it is
Copy !req
858. that the US wants with
Gojira? Capture or kill?
Copy !req
859. That's for the president to decide.
Copy !req
860. Who is it that decides in your country?
Copy !req
861. So, the cabinet finally made a decision
Copy !req
862. on the relief and recovery bill?
Copy !req
863. If you thought that was
an interagency nightmare,
Copy !req
864. wait until the Gojira bill.
Copy !req
865. - Yeah.
- I guarantee a lack of
Copy !req
866. precedent's going to
cloud orders, and I bet
Copy !req
867. you can expect a lot of passing
the buck to happen, too.
Copy !req
868. I can't believe it.
Copy !req
869. The security bill passed so easily.
Copy !req
870. Foreign Ministry muscle,
and US pressure, of course.
Copy !req
871. From what I've
been told about that deal,
Copy !req
872. the US wants to use its Gojira
info as a diplomatic card.
Copy !req
873. Well, if that's the case
Copy !req
874. let's pray that Aide Akasaka
can handle the White House.
Copy !req
875. Based on all the analysis we've done,
Copy !req
876. I can positively say
that these gamma rays
Copy !req
877. match no known elements whatsoever.
Copy !req
878. It's unprecedented.
Gojira is it?
Copy !req
879. Its body is harboring new elements
Copy !req
880. that are unknown to science.
Copy !req
881. Well, this certainly explains why
Copy !req
882. the US Department of Energy
moved so quickly.
Copy !req
883. Take this data with us.
Call the PM.
Copy !req
884. Right.
Copy !req
885. Understood. This is going
to complicate things.
Copy !req
886. So... how much do we say?
Copy !req
887. Having fully analyzed
substances recovered
Copy !req
888. from its path, we can
confirm the following...
Copy !req
889. In the stricken area,
radiation has risen
Copy !req
890. to point-five sieverts but is not...
Copy !req
891. Thanks for the food.
Copy !req
892. Yes, thank you.
Copy !req
893. Even with this new
information the US agreed
Copy !req
894. to share with us, I still think
we can expect some gridlock.
Copy !req
895. Yeah, Riken's report had impact,
Copy !req
896. but in addition to that,
Gojira has eight times
Copy !req
897. the amount of genetic info of humans.
Copy !req
898. It's literally gonna
take us years to sequence
Copy !req
899. all of that genetic material.
Copy !req
900. I think we can agree Gojira is the most
Copy !req
901. evolved creature
this planet has ever seen.
Copy !req
902. Capable of self-mutation
Copy !req
903. to best fit the
environment that it's in.
Copy !req
904. That trumps human intelligence.
Copy !req
905. It's still mortal, though.
So it can be killed.
Copy !req
906. I sure hope so.
Copy !req
907. That's exactly what we're
all here to find out, Professor.
Copy !req
908. Well, does anyone have
any clues into its behavior?
Copy !req
909. All it does is walk.
Copy !req
910. One thing I don't understand.
Copy !req
911. Why did it return to Tokyo Bay?
Copy !req
912. That's it.
Copy !req
913. For cooling.
Copy !req
914. Gojira has something
akin to a nuclear reactor
Copy !req
915. in its body, and its fins
must serve as heat vents.
Copy !req
916. And if that is indeed
the case, then its blood
Copy !req
917. more than likely serves as
the body's cooling system!
Copy !req
918. I get it. You're saying that
it temporarily retrogressed
Copy !req
919. to sea creature so it could
adjust its body temperature
Copy !req
920. after mutating, eh?
Copy !req
921. Maybe our only hope
is to try and find a way
Copy !req
922. to shut it down.
Copy !req
923. Its internal cooling system, that is.
Copy !req
924. Then not only would we
need to force Gojira
Copy !req
925. to shut off its internal
reactor to stay alive,
Copy !req
926. but also find a way
to cool its blood down,
Copy !req
927. and so much so that we can
immobilize the creature.
Copy !req
928. Just as a suggestion,
what about administering
Copy !req
929. a blood-coagulating drug?
Copy !req
930. Wait, is that even possible
with Gojira upright?
Copy !req
931. We'll investigate
a few practical methods.
Copy !req
932. Perhaps a compression
pump system like this.
Copy !req
933. We, the Health Ministry
and METI, will gather all of
Copy !req
934. the necessary coagulant and equipment
Copy !req
935. that will be required for this op.
Copy !req
936. We're submitting this to the Prime Minister
as "The Yaguchi Plan."
Copy !req
937. Understood.
Copy !req
938. Name aside.
Let's get to it.
Copy !req
939. Sir.
Copy !req
940. Gojira's God, save Gojira!
Copy !req
941. Gojira's God, save Gojira!
Gojira's God, save Gojira!
Copy !req
942. Care for some tea, sir?
Copy !req
943. Yes. Thanks so much.
Copy !req
944. Thank you, ma'am.
Copy !req
945. Hey. We need a break.
Copy !req
946. - Okay.
- All right.
Copy !req
947. Got it.
Copy !req
948. I see everyone voluntarily
doing whatever they can.
Copy !req
949. They haven't gone home
to rest even though
Copy !req
950. they've all been urged to.
Copy !req
951. There are some staff members
who've actually brought in
Copy !req
952. hot meals for everybody that's here.
Copy !req
953. It's very inspiring.
Copy !req
954. No jurisdictional infighting.
Copy !req
955. No arguments between ministries.
Copy !req
956. Just people working together
for the common good.
Copy !req
957. And not just staff, either.
Copy !req
958. There're a lot of outsiders who've
Copy !req
959. volunteered their time, too.
Copy !req
960. Yeah, you're right.
Copy !req
961. There's hope for this country.
Copy !req
962. That there is.
Copy !req
963. Just one question, though.
Copy !req
964. When was the last time
you changed that shirt?
Copy !req
965. Mm?
Copy !req
966. To be honest, your shirt
smells pretty rank.
Copy !req
967. Really?
Copy !req
968. A shower and a change
of clothes wouldn't hurt.
Copy !req
969. Yaguchi! Gojira's
resurfaced in Sagami Bay!
Copy !req
970. And it's coming ashore!
Copy !req
971. J-Alert!
Copy !req
972. The lifeform designated
"Gojira" has come ashore!
Copy !req
973. Primary evacuation order over
Em-net has been transmitted!
Copy !req
974. This is an emergency evacuation order.
Copy !req
975. This is not a drill.
Copy !req
976. A colossal-sized, unidentified creature
Copy !req
977. has come ashore.
Copy !req
978. For public safety, citizens are urged
Copy !req
979. to evacuate the city immediately.
Copy !req
980. Repeat, evacuate immediately.
Copy !req
981. Please follow the instructions
of police and fire personnel.
Copy !req
982. The Prime Minster.
Copy !req
983. On its current route,
Copy !req
984. Gojira's moving towards Kamariya.
Copy !req
985. Wait. Am I crazy
or has it gotten bigger?
Copy !req
986. Yes, and beyond expectation.
Copy !req
987. Both its face and body look different!
Copy !req
988. Yes. Its size has nearly doubled.
Copy !req
989. Gojira's evolved
and into its fourth form.
Copy !req
990. Oh no, this is going to be disastrous.
Copy !req
991. Attention! Citizens are to take refuge
Copy !req
992. indoors immediately!
Copy !req
993. This area is now under official curfew
Copy !req
994. and the streets must be cleared!
Copy !req
995. Attention!
You are in a designated
Copy !req
996. evacuation zone and
must leave the area now!
Copy !req
997. Please proceed and follow the directions
Copy !req
998. of police and safety personnel!
Copy !req
999. Gojira is currently projected
Copy !req
1000. to reach Tokyo in three hours.
Copy !req
1001. But why the hell is it coming here?
Copy !req
1002. An armed assault on
its body has potential risks.
Copy !req
1003. Namely the release
of radioactive materials
Copy !req
1004. into the surrounding region.
Copy !req
1005. So, preventing it from
reaching the metro area,
Copy !req
1006. that must be our top
priority, in my opinion.
Copy !req
1007. I hear this thing lives
on radioactive material.
Copy !req
1008. If this Gojira were to
attack a nuclear facility,
Copy !req
1009. this disaster would be far worse.
Copy !req
1010. Sir. We must stop it, and stop it now.
Copy !req
1011. That's right. And also
because if we don't,
Copy !req
1012. we'll be viewed overseas as timid.
Copy !req
1013. How is your Yaguchi Plan coming along?
Copy !req
1014. Regrettably, it's not ready yet.
Copy !req
1015. All you have to do is give the order
Copy !req
1016. and the SDF will do its job.
Copy !req
1017. The state of emergency
is still in effect,
Copy !req
1018. so the only one
who can order an attack...
Copy !req
1019. is you, and you alone.
Copy !req
1020. Well, sir?
Copy !req
1021. I know.
Copy !req
1022. Commence attack.
Copy !req
1023. Right away, sir.
Contact command.
Copy !req
1024. Right.
Copy !req
1025. The Prime Minister
has just ordered an attack.
Copy !req
1026. We've been given
unrestricted weapon use.
Copy !req
1027. With this directive, we must
do whatever it takes
Copy !req
1028. to prevent Gojira from reaching Tokyo.
Copy !req
1029. So Plan B if it goes to Kanagawa?
Copy !req
1030. Yes. We'll make Kawasaki
the primary battleground.
Copy !req
1031. Are we clear on that?
Copy !req
1032. Yes, sir. And the Tama River will be our
Copy !req
1033. absolute defense line.
Let's go kill that thing.
Copy !req
1034. Taxi to holding point B1.
Copy !req
1035. Runway one-zero.
Copy !req
1036. Runway one-zero
Copy !req
1037. cleared for takeoff.
Copy !req
1038. Attack formation report
Copy !req
1039. five miles west. P0304 now
embarking from Tachikawa.
Copy !req
1040. Tanks and artillery have been deployed
Copy !req
1041. to Maruko Bridge.
Copy !req
1042. Roger. Ready attack positions.
Copy !req
1043. Please let this work.
Copy !req
1044. Eight minutes to contact with target!
Copy !req
1045. We're really engaging in live fire?
Copy !req
1046. Just relax.
It's like our drills.
Copy !req
1047. The target's body contains
radioactive material.
Copy !req
1048. So pinpoint your attacks solely
on the thing's head and legs.
Copy !req
1049. All battalions ready to fire.
Copy !req
1050. Target approaching!
Copy !req
1051. ETA is three minutes and counting!
Copy !req
1052. First to fourth chopper squadrons
Copy !req
1053. are arriving now!
Copy !req
1054. CO1, this is CP, over.
Copy !req
1055. Copy CP. CO1, over.
Copy !req
1056. CO1 to PP1.
Copy !req
1057. PO1 in flight over
Musahi-Kosugi, holding at BP1.
Copy !req
1058. PO2 to PO4 behind towers.
Copy !req
1059. Standby at Holding Area 2, over.
Copy !req
1060. CO1 ready to engage at PP1.
Copy !req
1061. Target distance at 1,200 meters.
Copy !req
1062. Roger. Maintain positions, over.
Copy !req
1063. All helicopter reconnaissance
Copy !req
1064. has now been completed.
Copy !req
1065. Total area evacuation
has been confirmed.
Copy !req
1066. Koriyama.
Are you sure this time?
Copy !req
1067. No stragglers?
Copy !req
1068. I trust the report that
we received from the field.
Copy !req
1069. Madame. The target is advancing.
Copy !req
1070. Sir, please authorize the use of force.
Copy !req
1071. I authorize its use.
Copy !req
1072. Commence.
Copy !req
1073. The PM just confirmed the order.
Copy !req
1074. Commence fire.
Light that thing up.
Copy !req
1075. Phase 1 is now a go, Commander.
Copy !req
1076. Commence fire.
Repeat, commence fire. Over.
Copy !req
1077. CO1 copy. Commencing fire.
Copy !req
1078. Ready. Fire!
Copy !req
1079. Autocannon direct hits
are thus far ineffective!
Copy !req
1080. Try the Apache's 30 millimeter.
Copy !req
1081. Let's give it a shot.
Copy !req
1082. Third squadron in reconnaissance.
Copy !req
1083. Report on effectiveness, over.
Copy !req
1084. Third squadron on site. Target is fine.
Copy !req
1085. No effect.
Copy !req
1086. So 16,000 rounds of machine gun fire
Copy !req
1087. and it didn't leave a scratch.
Copy !req
1088. Get HQ and the PM.
Copy !req
1089. It's the Commander.
He's requesting to use missiles.
Copy !req
1090. It's a dense area,
but we have no other choice.
Copy !req
1091. Permission to use missiles, sir?
Copy !req
1092. I authorize... the use of all weapons.
Copy !req
1093. Give the word!
Copy !req
1094. CO1, switch weapons systems to missiles.
Copy !req
1095. When you've got a lock on the
target, fire them all, over!
Copy !req
1096. Roger! PO1 to PO4, switch to missiles.
Copy !req
1097. Target straight ahead 700 meters!
Copy !req
1098. Locked on!
Copy !req
1099. Ready. Fire!
Copy !req
1100. Keep giving that thing hell, boys!
Copy !req
1101. All direct hits, but no
visible damage sustained,
Copy !req
1102. and it's still alive.
Copy !req
1103. Even missiles don't work?
Copy !req
1104. What is this thing?
Copy !req
1105. Nothing's piercing
the skin of that monster!
Copy !req
1106. Time to shift to Phase ♪2.
Copy !req
1107. Copy that, Commander.
Copy !req
1108. Commencing to Phase 2 of the operation.
Copy !req
1109. Commence fire.
Copy !req
1110. Repeat, commence fire.
Copy !req
1111. Roger that. This is Tiger 1.
Commencing fire.
Copy !req
1112. Type 10 tanks, aim for the target's legs
Copy !req
1113. and unleash a concentrated barrage
Copy !req
1114. on the commander's order!
Copy !req
1115. Ready. Lock on.
There it is!
Copy !req
1116. Distance good!
Copy !req
1117. Fire!
Copy !req
1118. Direct hit! Keep firing!
Copy !req
1119. The target, it's decreased speed!
Copy !req
1120. Good! It's working!
Copy !req
1121. Now commence artillery fire!
Copy !req
1122. Time to target.
Copy !req
1123. Seven... six... five... four...
three... two... one...
Copy !req
1124. Impact!
Copy !req
1125. All hit target! Fusillade. Fire!
Copy !req
1126. Sir, the target has just been sighted
Copy !req
1127. entering the Tama River!
Copy !req
1128. Tell Gotemba to attack.
Launch all rockets!
Copy !req
1129. The target! It's halted!
Copy !req
1130. Time to move to Phase 3.
Copy !req
1131. Launch the aerial assault on Gojira.
Copy !req
1132. Type 10 tanks, shift to Phase 3!
Copy !req
1133. I repeat, all tanks shift to
Phase 3 positions immediately!
Copy !req
1134. Roger. Cleared for attack.
Copy !req
1135. Ready. Aim. Now!
Copy !req
1136. Bombs away!
Copy !req
1137. Laser on. Tracking.
Copy !req
1138. Bullseye!
The target is turning northwest!
Copy !req
1139. Repeat, it's heading northwest!
Copy !req
1140. It's turning away?
Copy !req
1141. You mean this plan is working?
Copy !req
1142. JDAM second wave's next.
Copy !req
1143. Yes, that'll finish it off.
Copy !req
1144. Way to go!
Copy !req
1145. All tanks retreat now!
Copy !req
1146. Evacuate! Get the hell out of here now!
Copy !req
1147. - Mayday!
- Come on. Come on.
Copy !req
1148. Attention, target
has crossed into Tokyo!
Copy !req
1149. ACP, CO1. Choppers are out of munitions!
Copy !req
1150. Repeat, munitions exhausted!
Copy !req
1151. Tiger 1, this is 40.
Give us a status report over.
Copy !req
1152. This is Tiger 1.
Eight squads are out of ammo.
Copy !req
1153. Three tanks are severely damaged,
Copy !req
1154. and two others are crippled, over.
Copy !req
1155. It's confirmed, sirs.
Copy !req
1156. The forward command post
has been destroyed!
Copy !req
1157. The target's breached the defense line!
Copy !req
1158. Our defensive position
has collapsed entirely!
Copy !req
1159. Sir, that creature.
Copy !req
1160. It's still within artillery range.
Copy !req
1161. Let's continue the assault.
Copy !req
1162. We can't. Those wards still
aren't fully evacuated yet.
Copy !req
1163. Sorry, but I'm afraid
that's all we can do.
Copy !req
1164. Understood.
Copy !req
1165. We'll suspend the operation.
Copy !req
1166. We couldn't stop it.
Sorry, sir.
Copy !req
1167. Don't lose hope.
Copy !req
1168. It's our job to protect the people here.
Copy !req
1169. An offensive isn't the only way.
Copy !req
1170. Speed up the evacuation.
Copy !req
1171. The operation failed, and Gojira
Copy !req
1172. is once again on the move.
Copy !req
1173. The SDF's full power
was futile against it.
Copy !req
1174. That thing's self-preservation
ability is amazing.
Copy !req
1175. Standard weapons won't take it down,
Copy !req
1176. that's why we're here, remember?
Copy !req
1177. An organism that surpasses
man in every way.
Copy !req
1178. The target's been sighted
Copy !req
1179. entering Meguro Ward!
Copy !req
1180. Sir! Let's petition
the US for military aid
Copy !req
1181. in taking it down.
It's our only choice!
Copy !req
1182. Sir. I just heard from the USAF.
Copy !req
1183. They've confirmed that a squadron
Copy !req
1184. of stealth bombers is already en route.
Copy !req
1185. Submit a formal cooperation request
Copy !req
1186. to the US. I'm on my way
to meet with the ambassador.
Copy !req
1187. With your authorization,
Copy !req
1188. I'll hold a press
conference on the subject.
Copy !req
1189. And so, we've requested aid by US forces in fighting
Gojira based on the Japan-US Security which...
Copy !req
1190. The proposed US bombing zone.
Copy !req
1191. It's this large?
Copy !req
1192. The damage will be worse than Gojira!
Copy !req
1193. The bombing zone's so vast.
Copy !req
1194. We'll have to evacuate
everyone underground!
Copy !req
1195. The US will soon launch an attack
Copy !req
1196. on Gojira! Please evacuate
to the nearest subway
Copy !req
1197. or underground shelter at this time!
Copy !req
1198. Stop pushing!
Copy !req
1199. This residence is directly
in Gojira's path, sir.
Copy !req
1200. And since the SDF failed
to stop this thing,
Copy !req
1201. the US military might fail, too.
Copy !req
1202. You're saying...
that we should evacuate?
Copy !req
1203. Yes! Both you and the entire cabinet!
Copy !req
1204. For the nation to function,
you need to leave
Copy !req
1205. for the secondary facility
in Tachikawa quickly!
Copy !req
1206. Just as the US strike is about to begin?
Copy !req
1207. No, I have a duty to stay
and monitor its execution!
Copy !req
1208. And besides that, I can't
abandon the citizens here!
Copy !req
1209. You must leave.
Copy !req
1210. Remember, you have an
entire nation to protect
Copy !req
1211. but you can't do that
if you're dead, sir.
Copy !req
1212. So please evacuate.
Copy !req
1213. Tokyo City Hall is still functioning.
Copy !req
1214. So for right now, please,
let the governor take charge.
Copy !req
1215. Very well.
Copy !req
1216. Sir, two choppers'll be on the roof.
Copy !req
1217. My group will travel there by car.
Copy !req
1218. Okay. Get going.
I'm sure it'll take some time.
Copy !req
1219. Traffic is going to be murder.
Copy !req
1220. We'll see you there.
Copy !req
1221. Right. We'll get moving.
Copy !req
1222. Attention!
Copy !req
1223. A mandatory evacuation
order has been issued!
Copy !req
1224. Hurry everyone!
Copy !req
1225. Please vacate the premises at once!
Copy !req
1226. Repeat, a mandatory evacuation
order has been issued!
Copy !req
1227. Please vacate the premises at once!
Copy !req
1228. It's gridlock all over
the city. Traffic isn't moving.
Copy !req
1229. Even so, the strike's still coming.
Copy !req
1230. We need to get everyone out.
Copy !req
1231. So that's Gojira.
Copy !req
1232. Just got word.
The strike's going to occur
Copy !req
1233. ahead of schedule!
Copy !req
1234. MOP II bombs have struck the target.
Copy !req
1235. Direct hit!
It's confirmed bleeding!
Copy !req
1236. This may work!
Copy !req
1237. Nice job USA.
Copy !req
1238. Sir. The helicopters are arriving.
Copy !req
1239. Quickly everyone! Down this way!
Copy !req
1240. What's that glow?
Copy !req
1241. Gojira's back has begun
to glow all of a sudden, sir!
Copy !req
1242. No more details than that!
Copy !req
1243. What can it be glowing for?
Copy !req
1244. That's everyone!
Come on, Yaguchi!
Copy !req
1245. There's an emergency call
Copy !req
1246. from Yokota Air Base.
Copy !req
1247. B-2, Number 1 seems to have been downed!
Copy !req
1248. But there's no way.
That's impossible!
Copy !req
1249. Godzilla.
Truly a god incarnate.
Copy !req
1250. The target is shooting some
Copy !req
1251. unidentified weapon from the front.
Copy !req
1252. Bomber 2 and Bomber 3
will circle in from behind.
Copy !req
1253. Payback time.
Copy !req
1254. Roger. Payback.
Copy !req
1255. The Prime Minister and his cabinet
Copy !req
1256. are on board and
en route to Tachikawa...
Copy !req
1257. High levels of radiation
Copy !req
1258. have been projected.
For their safety,
Copy !req
1259. people are urged to
remain indoors for at least
Copy !req
1260. another 49 hours.
Copy !req
1261. How much radiation the creature
Copy !req
1262. has released on Tokyo is still unknown.
Copy !req
1263. Due to the attack, expect emergency
Copy !req
1264. services to be severely delayed.
Copy !req
1265. I hear radioactivity is high.
Copy !req
1266. Will the government
distribute iodine tablets?
Copy !req
1267. Authorities are urging residents...
Copy !req
1268. Nuclear, biological, and chemical
Copy !req
1269. response teams are being
deployed throughout the city
Copy !req
1270. for decontamination and rescue.
Copy !req
1271. A government spokesperson
stated that these teams
Copy !req
1272. will arrive in all affected areas...
Copy !req
1273. The Prime Minister, Cabinet Secretary,
Copy !req
1274. and five ministers are still
missing at this hour,
Copy !req
1275. and presumed dead after their helicopter
Copy !req
1276. was blown from the sky.
Copy !req
1277. Police headquarters and two ministries
Copy !req
1278. still remain intact.
Copy !req
1279. Other government buildings
didn't fare as well...
Copy !req
1280. to describe what I'm
Copy !req
1281. looking at right now is "apocalyptic."
Copy !req
1282. It's almost like looking
at the historic photos
Copy !req
1283. of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
after the bombs were dropped,
Copy !req
1284. but then you realize
what you're staring at
Copy !req
1285. is actually right in front of you.
Copy !req
1286. refugees left homeless
Copy !req
1287. in the city are estimated
to be in the millions,
Copy !req
1288. and that number is rising every hour.
Copy !req
1289. With the Prime Minister presumed dead,
Copy !req
1290. government officials are racing
to select an acting PM
Copy !req
1291. to fill the political vacuum created by
Copy !req
1292. the tragic events of last night.
Copy !req
1293. With the PM residence still
Copy !req
1294. in the path of danger,
government headquarters
Copy !req
1295. are being moved to Tachikawa City.
Copy !req
1296. Several miles from the city
center, it's hoped it will be
Copy !req
1297. a safer location for the
government's base of operations.
Copy !req
1298. Attention, all staff.
Copy !req
1299. Decontamination protocols
have been enacted.
Copy !req
1300. Interior access...
Copy !req
1301. Chief Yaguchi!
Copy !req
1302. - I'll call you back.
- Izumi, you're safe.
Copy !req
1303. Yeah, only for one reason.
Copy !req
1304. It's because I went home
on Friday night.
Copy !req
1305. That's the sole thing that saved me.
Copy !req
1306. Hey. Do you know that you're bleeding?
Copy !req
1307. - You okay?
- Yeah, sorry.
Copy !req
1308. They said bandages were in short supply.
Copy !req
1309. I know, everything is.
Copy !req
1310. Tokyo is directing fire and rescue.
Copy !req
1311. We have no Internal Ministry yet.
Copy !req
1312. Let the police handle refugees.
Copy !req
1313. We're working on it, okay?
Copy !req
1314. They'll have to hold out
Copy !req
1315. for one more night.
Copy !req
1316. Rumors will fly,
Copy !req
1317. so get on the press now.
Copy !req
1318. I need information now.
Where's Gojira?
Copy !req
1319. It's inactive near Tokyo Station.
Copy !req
1320. And the reason for that?
Who knows why?
Copy !req
1321. And radiation levels?
Copy !req
1322. The Nuclear Regulation Authority.
Copy !req
1323. They're out getting readings right now.
Copy !req
1324. They did inform me earlier
that radiation is dripping
Copy !req
1325. from Gojira's mouth,
but it's only trace amounts.
Copy !req
1326. Gojira's radioactive plume
blew out to sea,
Copy !req
1327. but contamination is still widespread.
Copy !req
1328. So then the hardest-hit areas
aren't just uninhabitable now.
Copy !req
1329. They're contaminated as well.
Copy !req
1330. Yeah, conditions are
about as dire as they can get.
Copy !req
1331. We're lacking in manpower, materials,
Copy !req
1332. and even political infrastructure.
Copy !req
1333. They're all dead.
Copy !req
1334. The Prime Minister and
the Chief Cabinet Secretary.
Copy !req
1335. Everyone who was on the evac chopper.
Copy !req
1336. Don't go to pieces!
Copy !req
1337. We'll just make do with
the few staff that's left!
Copy !req
1338. Yaguchi.
Copy !req
1339. Calm down first, okay?
Copy !req
1340. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
1341. Who's been made the acting PM?
Copy !req
1342. The ruling party has just announced that
Minister of Agriculture Yusuke Satomi
Copy !req
1343. has been named as Acting Prime Minister.
Copy !req
1344. He will head the provisional
emergency government
Copy !req
1345. that has been quickly set up
and has stated that
Copy !req
1346. his first order of
business will be to name
Copy !req
1347. a new cabinet to fill
the political void.
Copy !req
1348. So then, the Agriculture Minister
Copy !req
1349. is now the Prime Minister
because of his seniority?
Copy !req
1350. That's who they chose?
But why him?
Copy !req
1351. Well, I heard the job was foisted on him
Copy !req
1352. by the party secretary.
Can you blame them?
Copy !req
1353. Who wants responsibility
at a time like this?
Copy !req
1354. What should we do about
the disturbing movement
Copy !req
1355. near Tsushima Island?
Copy !req
1356. Well, I suppose we'll just
have to wait and see.
Copy !req
1357. Can the Foreign Ministry act?
Copy !req
1358. We're still getting up and
running right now, sir,
Copy !req
1359. but soon.
Copy !req
1360. Well, at any rate, try to avoid
Copy !req
1361. any unforeseen surprises.
Copy !req
1362. Right. I'll let the ambassador know.
Copy !req
1363. Noodles got soggy.
Copy !req
1364. I knew this job wasn't going
to be easy, but come on.
Copy !req
1365. Yeah, that guy.
He's a hard man to read.
Copy !req
1366. Whoever the PM is,
Copy !req
1367. it's our job to keep
the government afloat.
Copy !req
1368. We need emergency powers.
Copy !req
1369. I know.
We're 30 kilometers from
Copy !req
1370. where Gojira's sleeping.
Scary, huh?
Copy !req
1371. I'm more concerned about something else
Copy !req
1372. right at the moment.
The decisions that will
Copy !req
1373. be made to stop Gojira by the acting PM.
Copy !req
1374. You want his job?
Copy !req
1375. Not right now.
Copy !req
1376. But maybe in ten years.
Copy !req
1377. Yeah, if Japan's still around then,
Copy !req
1378. you should run for office.
Copy !req
1379. I'll help you, in exchange
for a nice cabinet position.
Copy !req
1380. Akasaka was in Yokota
last night, so he survived.
Copy !req
1381. Every politician needs two things,
strategy and luck.
Copy !req
1382. He has both and now he's
Chief Cabinet Secretary.
Copy !req
1383. You could be more
ambitious like him, y'know?
Copy !req
1384. The Disaster Bureau is
still a unique path for you.
Copy !req
1385. Just think about it.
Copy !req
1386. You're practically in charge
of this group here.
Copy !req
1387. No, I'm not. I'm here
to take the fall if needed.
Copy !req
1388. Akasaka is a shrewd delegator.
Copy !req
1389. If anyone gets a career boost from this,
Copy !req
1390. that person's going to be you.
Copy !req
1391. What exactly's wrong with that?
Copy !req
1392. If you don't like politicians,
why'd you become one?
Copy !req
1393. Because it's just friend or foe.
Copy !req
1394. It's simple. I like that.
Copy !req
1395. Excuse me, sir.
Bureau members have arrived.
Copy !req
1396. I'm so happy to see you all.
Copy !req
1397. Over half of our team
has returned to duty.
Copy !req
1398. Thank you.
Copy !req
1399. Our hearts are broken
over all those we've lost.
Copy !req
1400. Let's do this for them!
Copy !req
1401. Honor their sacrifice.
Copy !req
1402. We're all hurting.
But I assure you that together
Copy !req
1403. we can and will prevail!
Copy !req
1404. For our country's sake.
Copy !req
1405. I ask you, please pour
your hearts and souls
Copy !req
1406. into completing our work!
Copy !req
1407. I beg you!
Copy !req
1408. Well, let's get to it!
Copy !req
1409. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
1410. - Chief Mori.
- Yes?
Copy !req
1411. Where are we with the freezing plan?
Copy !req
1412. At the moment, we've got
several private companies
Copy !req
1413. formulating 24 different
blood pro-coagulants,
Copy !req
1414. using silica, thrombin, and other agents
Copy !req
1415. you'll see here in these specs.
Copy !req
1416. We're hoping at least
one of them will work.
Copy !req
1417. What about samples?
Copy !req
1418. We've asked GSDF for some living samples
Copy !req
1419. and they're retrieving
them now as we speak.
Copy !req
1420. Roger that.
Copy !req
1421. Samples retrieved. Orders?
Copy !req
1422. I'm requesting that some be
sent directly to BSL4 labs.
Copy !req
1423. Very good. Send the remainder
to any P3 level lab,
Copy !req
1424. and it doesn't matter if it's
a public or private one.
Copy !req
1425. But, sir, these samples are
Copy !req
1426. government-classified substances.
Copy !req
1427. I know, but we need
diverse info on Gojira.
Copy !req
1428. No change to radiation levels.
Copy !req
1429. They're still reading
at Below 1 Sievert.
Copy !req
1430. Still sleeping.
Copy !req
1431. And apparently
storing radiation in its belly.
Copy !req
1432. Shift change. Let's go.
Copy !req
1433. Yes? Yaguchi.
Copy !req
1434. It's me. I'm arriving in five minutes.
Copy !req
1435. Secure a meeting with
the acting Prime Minister.
Copy !req
1436. So then, you wish
to provide us with something
Copy !req
1437. to assist in our fight, is that correct?
Copy !req
1438. Yes. There is a movement centered on
Copy !req
1439. China and Russia,
to take Godzilla from under
Copy !req
1440. the control of the Japanese government,
Copy !req
1441. and put it under the control of
international organizations.
Copy !req
1442. Many countries are aligned
with that opinion, too.
Copy !req
1443. However, as for the US government,
Copy !req
1444. we strongly hope that Japan and the US
Copy !req
1445. can perfectly control Godzilla together.
Copy !req
1446. Okay.
Copy !req
1447. From the government's point of view,
Copy !req
1448. it is for that reason
that we would agree
Copy !req
1449. to a two-plus-two cooperation.
Copy !req
1450. However...
Copy !req
1451. As army experts will
remain as the backbone
Copy !req
1452. of the government,
we have to respectfully
Copy !req
1453. decline your offer
to remain at the center
Copy !req
1454. of the decision-making.
In place of that, we will...
Copy !req
1455. So a US-Japan Gojira research coalition?
Copy !req
1456. The way I see it,
the more knowledge, the better.
Copy !req
1457. Now let's clear some space.
Copy !req
1458. Nice to meet you.
I'm Rando Yaguchi.
Copy !req
1459. This is from GSDF's latest
Copy !req
1460. unmanned surveillance system.
Copy !req
1461. It froze shortly after the attack.
Copy !req
1462. Same as the D2 simulation.
Copy !req
1463. Just as I thought.
Copy !req
1464. It appears that Godzilla
has something like
Copy !req
1465. a built-in phased-array radar.
Copy !req
1466. If so, then that means
it can instinctively
Copy !req
1467. detect and intercept
any approaching objects.
Copy !req
1468. Squad 2, this is CV1.
Five minutes from point zero.
Copy !req
1469. Ten minutes remain. Over.
Copy !req
1470. Copy that. CV1. Over.
Copy !req
1471. After cross-referencing
the field data with Tsukuba's,
Copy !req
1472. I believe we've discovered how
Gojira plans to propagate,
Copy !req
1473. I'm sure of it.
Copy !req
1474. With abilities like these,
Copy !req
1475. it could rapidly colonize
the entire world.
Copy !req
1476. Its body can evolve.
Make itself smaller.
Copy !req
1477. Or even... sprout wings
capable of flight.
Copy !req
1478. Let's go.
Copy !req
1479. And that will mark
the end of the human race.
Copy !req
1480. Before that happens, using our
Copy !req
1481. nuclear wisdom is the only road
to salvation for mankind.
Copy !req
1482. Are you serious?
Copy !req
1483. I'm not really supposed
to be sharing this info,
Copy !req
1484. but, the Defense Secretary wants to use
Copy !req
1485. a warhead against Godzilla.
Copy !req
1486. What'd the White House say?
Copy !req
1487. Yes, because there's now a 13% chance
Copy !req
1488. of Godzilla landing on the west coast.
Copy !req
1489. The UN's ready to move, too,
and the Security Council
Copy !req
1490. has set up a multinational strike force.
Copy !req
1491. The US is serious.
Copy !req
1492. Afraid so.
Copy !req
1493. They say that to end
the threat of Godzilla,
Copy !req
1494. a nuclear missile is the only
weapon that could kill it.
Copy !req
1495. The missile they're
going to use is the B83
Copy !req
1496. which is 75 times stronger than the bomb
Copy !req
1497. that was dropped on Hiroshima!
Copy !req
1498. They're dropping that on Tokyo?
Copy !req
1499. Well, I was ordered to evacuate.
Copy !req
1500. I see. So it's highly likely. Isn't it?
Copy !req
1501. Yes.
Copy !req
1502. But I don't want to be here for it.
Copy !req
1503. I won't see a third bomb...
Copy !req
1504. dropped on the homeland
of my grandmother.
Copy !req
1505. She lived through the last two.
Copy !req
1506. We have no choice. Not with
the way things are now.
Copy !req
1507. Tell them yes.
Copy !req
1508. Certainly. We will
act accordingly that way,
Copy !req
1509. President Ross.
Copy !req
1510. Well, you heard it.
Copy !req
1511. It isn't the first time
Copy !req
1512. something crazy's been foisted on us.
Copy !req
1513. That's for certain.
Copy !req
1514. But this goes too far!
Copy !req
1515. I agree.
Copy !req
1516. Get the Chief Cabinet Secretary.
Copy !req
1517. Sir.
Copy !req
1518. A resolution has just been passed
Copy !req
1519. by the United Nations Security Council
Copy !req
1520. granting a US-led force
Copy !req
1521. to exterminate Gojira.
Copy !req
1522. As party to that, and participant,
Copy !req
1523. we must obey it, and its tenets.
Copy !req
1524. To do that,
Copy !req
1525. the PM needs to be
vested with full powers
Copy !req
1526. so I can authorize a nuclear strike.
Copy !req
1527. Isn't there some other way?
Copy !req
1528. Think of the devastation
it will cause to Tokyo.
Copy !req
1529. I never imagined
that I'd go down in history
Copy !req
1530. for something such as this.
Copy !req
1531. Yaguchi, from here on out,
Copy !req
1532. Gojira comes under US-led,
UN jurisdiction.
Copy !req
1533. Post-war Japan is a tributary state.
Copy !req
1534. "Post-war" extends forever, huh?
Copy !req
1535. This is a bad choice.
Copy !req
1536. No matter how enormous Gojira is
Copy !req
1537. I doubt it can withstand the
million-degree heat of a nuke.
Copy !req
1538. As a method of extermination,
Copy !req
1539. it's our only viable option right now.
Copy !req
1540. My team and I are on the verge
of a breakthrough,
Copy !req
1541. with our freezing method.
Copy !req
1542. There are still too many unknowns
Copy !req
1543. with that plan of yours.
Copy !req
1544. Besides, multiple nations
have pledged their support
Copy !req
1545. to assist us with
a complete rebuilding effort,
Copy !req
1546. provided we sign on, of course.
Copy !req
1547. Despite our best efforts, we can't destroy
Gojira on our own.
Copy !req
1548. So if this nation is to survive,
Copy !req
1549. we have no choice but to put our fate
Copy !req
1550. in the UN's hands.
Copy !req
1551. You have to understand.
Copy !req
1552. I have to look ahead, and think about
Copy !req
1553. what's best for a post-Gojira Japan.
Copy !req
1554. Damage is limited to just three wards.
Copy !req
1555. But if we allow this strike...
Copy !req
1556. If it happens,
that number will multiply.
Copy !req
1557. The city's economy is
currently in a free fall.
Copy !req
1558. Bonds and stocks are plummeting,
Copy !req
1559. and if we can't put a stop to this soon,
Copy !req
1560. the nation will go into default
on all of its loans.
Copy !req
1561. For that reason, Japan needs
international funding
Copy !req
1562. in order to survive.
Copy !req
1563. So scrap and rebuild, huh?
Copy !req
1564. To save Japan.
Copy !req
1565. There isn't any other way.
Copy !req
1566. Yaguchi. This is the reality.
Copy !req
1567. All else is just a dream.
Copy !req
1568. What? They're going to
use a thermonuclear missile?
Copy !req
1569. And drop that thing here?
Copy !req
1570. The government just gave the UN
Copy !req
1571. its sanction to do so.
Copy !req
1572. That's insane.
Copy !req
1573. There's still so much we don't know.
Copy !req
1574. Gojira might even be immortal.
Copy !req
1575. We're faced with two choices,
Copy !req
1576. incinerate it with a nuke,
or freeze it with a drug.
Copy !req
1577. Yeah, I guess we do
have two choices here,
Copy !req
1578. but both are bad.
Copy !req
1579. Man is more frightening
to me than Gojira.
Copy !req
1580. If we're to do something,
we have to do it quickly.
Copy !req
1581. The UN will be giving
time for evacuation.
Copy !req
1582. That's our window for
finishing the freezing plan.
Copy !req
1583. Okay. We got good
results on a coagulant,
Copy !req
1584. but formulating it is one thing.
Producing it's another.
Copy !req
1585. To freeze all of Gojira's blood,
Copy !req
1586. we've estimated we'll need
672 kiloliters of coagulant.
Copy !req
1587. I'm trying to secure
facilities for that now.
Copy !req
1588. What if we can't?
Copy !req
1589. We have to do it!
Don't give up.
Copy !req
1590. Our country is depending on us all.
Copy !req
1591. Every chemical company you know.
Copy !req
1592. Contact them now, and ask them
to open every line possible!
Copy !req
1593. You will? Thank you!
Copy !req
1594. I'm sending all
pertinent data to you right now.
Copy !req
1595. And please let everyone
know that we need production
Copy !req
1596. finished by tomorrow at the latest.
Copy !req
1597. Cross-checking's
complete by all the groups
Copy !req
1598. we've reached out to.
Well, well.
Copy !req
1599. I guess spreading knowledge works.
Copy !req
1600. We're still working
on logistics for police
Copy !req
1601. and MLIT to ship the coagulant.
Copy !req
1602. I can handle that,
but I need METI to coordinate
Copy !req
1603. with the pump makers.
Copy !req
1604. Hey, I was just told that
if we agree to buy them,
Copy !req
1605. Shanghai will get
three tanker trucks to us.
Copy !req
1606. Any size.
Yes, that's correct.
Copy !req
1607. We still need five more wheel loaders.
Copy !req
1608. We have news, sir.
Copy !req
1609. Ambassador Lansing relayed
coalition projections.
Copy !req
1610. According to current readings,
Copy !req
1611. Gojira's energy beam will be restored
Copy !req
1612. to previous levels in 360 hours.
Copy !req
1613. That means the creature
is likely to resume
Copy !req
1614. activity again in 15 days.
Copy !req
1615. I see.
Copy !req
1616. A charter home will be
Copy !req
1617. leaving in an hour.
Copy !req
1618. All remaining staff, prepare
to leave immediately.
Copy !req
1619. The start time for the nuclear strike
Copy !req
1620. against Godzilla has been decided.
Copy !req
1621. Countdown will begin in five minutes.
Copy !req
1622. So, it's too late to turn back now.
Copy !req
1623. Japan has been given
a two week grace period
Copy !req
1624. in order to evacuate
remaining residents.
Copy !req
1625. That may seem long
for the Allied Forces,
Copy !req
1626. but it's too short for Japan.
Copy !req
1627. What they ask...
that we somehow evacuate
Copy !req
1628. millions of people from their homes...
Copy !req
1629. is far easier said than done.
Copy !req
1630. I agree.
Copy !req
1631. But 3.6 million people?
That's insane!
Copy !req
1632. We don't have the manpower
for a job that size!
Copy !req
1633. What about the millions more
Copy !req
1634. in neighboring prefectures?
What are we doing about them?
Copy !req
1635. The governor protests
the sacrifice of Tokyo!
Copy !req
1636. Look, this is a national decision,
Copy !req
1637. not a municipal one, got it?
Copy !req
1638. But, sir. Relocating that many people
Copy !req
1639. in two weeks is impossible,
we can't do it.
Copy !req
1640. For the sake of
all those people's lives,
Copy !req
1641. you have to.
The moment Gojira stirs,
Copy !req
1642. the strike is going to be moved up,
Copy !req
1643. and we don't want people here
when that happens.
Copy !req
1644. Regardless of collateral damage,
a thermonuclear missile
Copy !req
1645. will be launched from
a sub at that time.
Copy !req
1646. As per the coalition's decision.
Copy !req
1647. Ridiculous! It's easy for them to say
Copy !req
1648. with us in far-off Asia!
Copy !req
1649. They told me they'd do the same
Copy !req
1650. if Gojira would have
surfaced in New York.
Copy !req
1651. Please proceed in an orderly fashion,
Copy !req
1652. and if you're travelling with children,
Copy !req
1653. please hold their hands.
Copy !req
1654. Land prices are soaring in West Japan.
Copy !req
1655. Food is short.
Copy !req
1656. Kanto area shops and
businesses have all been
Copy !req
1657. shuttered and the city's
full of the unemployed.
Copy !req
1658. The yen's plunged, of course.
Investors are scared.
Copy !req
1659. Except those profiting from it.
Copy !req
1660. People come in all forms.
Good and bad.
Copy !req
1661. So did you uncover anything?
Copy !req
1662. 'Course I did.
That is my job, after all.
Copy !req
1663. I'll use it in an article I'm
hoping can be published,
Copy !req
1664. on the day prior to the bomb drop.
Copy !req
1665. Some new Gojira material.
Copy !req
1666. In exchange, we can control
the announcement timing.
Copy !req
1667. How's that sound?
Copy !req
1668. It sounds very good.
Copy !req
1669. So Goro Maki hated
the radiation sickness
Copy !req
1670. that took his wife's life with
every fiber of his being.
Copy !req
1671. He hoped to find a way to render
radioactive materials harmless.
Copy !req
1672. Well, if something like that
could be possible,
Copy !req
1673. then so, too, could the creation
of new material.
Copy !req
1674. He must've feared
the military would use it.
Copy !req
1675. That certainly would
explain why he redacted
Copy !req
1676. the DOE data.
Copy !req
1677. Professor Maki hated
radioactive materials.
Copy !req
1678. And possibly even anyone or
anything who worked with them.
Copy !req
1679. And that includes Japan,
which left his wife to die.
Copy !req
1680. But then he leaves his data
with a note that says
Copy !req
1681. "Do as you please"?
What a strange guy.
Copy !req
1682. But just what did Maki do in the end?
Copy !req
1683. Thank you for this meal.
Copy !req
1684. Agh. Hmm.
Copy !req
1685. You solve the chart yet?
Copy !req
1686. No, not even with
the help of a brilliant
Copy !req
1687. cryptographer who came
highly recommended.
Copy !req
1688. You hear anything from the US?
Copy !req
1689. I don't think we can
rely on them too much.
Copy !req
1690. Not right now.
Copy !req
1691. We've taken a
multi-tiered approach to try
Copy !req
1692. and decipher Maki's info,
but it's bizarre.
Copy !req
1693. This chemical schematic
is quite confusing.
Copy !req
1694. Resembles a mandala.
Copy !req
1695. I've even tried working
backwards from the solution
Copy !req
1696. and still can't figure it out.
Copy !req
1697. This Maki. Was the man insane?
Copy !req
1698. Even I'm baffled by these lines.
Copy !req
1699. Why'd he put it on paper
Copy !req
1700. instead of an electronic file?
Copy !req
1701. Perhaps... it's meant to be folded?
Copy !req
1702. You know. With a lot of us eating now,
Copy !req
1703. it makes me wonder about Gojira there.
Copy !req
1704. Do you think that it gets hungry?
Copy !req
1705. No doubt.
Copy !req
1706. Yeah, but look, the thing's got
Copy !req
1707. some really crooked teeth.
Copy !req
1708. It can't even prey
on nuclear waste. Hmph.
Copy !req
1709. Origami.
Copy !req
1710. Huuuh...
Copy !req
1711. It's not eaten.
Copy !req
1712. We finally
figured out the entire pattern.
Copy !req
1713. This new information
came from making folds,
Copy !req
1714. just like in origami.
Copy !req
1715. What we've done is focus on
Copy !req
1716. radiation as its energy.
Copy !req
1717. When the schematic's folded,
it's a molecular chart
Copy !req
1718. for converting elements in the body.
Copy !req
1719. Gojira's body has molecules
that can do this.
Copy !req
1720. And the proof of this is in the unknown
Copy !req
1721. radioactive isotope.
I'm sure of it!
Copy !req
1722. The way it works is when either
Copy !req
1723. hydrogen or nitrogen enters the body,
Copy !req
1724. it's converted into
the necessary molecules.
Copy !req
1725. Gojira's a mixotroph
with an organ that converts
Copy !req
1726. decaying heat into
the energy that sustains it.
Copy !req
1727. That's my hypothesis.
Questions?
Copy !req
1728. It can live anywhere where there's
Copy !req
1729. water or oxygen, huh?
So basically everywhere.
Copy !req
1730. What you're saying
is that Gojira is not only
Copy !req
1731. a threat to mankind,
but also an organism
Copy !req
1732. that could potentially
be indestructible.
Copy !req
1733. Is that right?
Copy !req
1734. If the latter's true,
we have no certainty the coagulant
Copy !req
1735. will be effective once it's
inside Gojira's body,
Copy !req
1736. killing the Yaguchi Plan.
Copy !req
1737. Yeah, possibly. So what now?
Copy !req
1738. We raise the certainty of it working
Copy !req
1739. through a series of tests.
Copy !req
1740. Exactly, and the first thing
that we'll do
Copy !req
1741. is analyze this structure.
Top to bottom.
Copy !req
1742. I've already got supercomputers running
Copy !req
1743. parallel analysis, but results are still
Copy !req
1744. several weeks away I've been told.
Copy !req
1745. But we only have ten days left, Yasuda.
Copy !req
1746. I know. That's why I've asked MEXT
Copy !req
1747. to use their global connections.
Copy !req
1748. A call from Japan.
Copy !req
1749. They're requesting parallel computing
Copy !req
1750. on info about the Gojira creature.
Copy !req
1751. Tell them we're sympathetic,
Copy !req
1752. but there's no way we can
do that since ours is
Copy !req
1753. a closed system, and a
proprietary one, at that.
Copy !req
1754. We just can't risk
our data being stolen.
Copy !req
1755. Oh, come, don't be like that.
Copy !req
1756. Have some trust in your
fellow man for once. Right?
Copy !req
1757. Please tell them that our answer is yes.
Copy !req
1758. We'd be happy to help them.
Copy !req
1759. Hey, we've done it!
We've solved Maki's riddle!
Copy !req
1760. Here, look!
Copy !req
1761. See!
Copy !req
1762. Incredible.
Copy !req
1763. You see there. It's not
the cell membrane itself,
Copy !req
1764. but an extremophile configuration
Copy !req
1765. that inhibits cell membrane activity.
Copy !req
1766. You understand?
Copy !req
1767. This inhibitor could mean
the blood coagulant plan
Copy !req
1768. is still a viable option, and
one that might actually work.
Copy !req
1769. It looks good.
Copy !req
1770. Okay.
Copy !req
1771. I get the feeling Maki anticipated this.
Copy !req
1772. Maybe he saw the arrival
of Gojira as a test.
Copy !req
1773. One for mankind, the world,
and of course, Japan.
Copy !req
1774. Does his "Do as you please"
include nuclear weapons?
Copy !req
1775. Maybe so.
Copy !req
1776. "Do as you please," right?
Copy !req
1777. You know,
Copy !req
1778. that's a pretty hard thing
to do in this country.
Copy !req
1779. Yeah.
Copy !req
1780. If you're alone.
Copy !req
1781. Sir. I'm happy to
announce that we've managed
Copy !req
1782. to iron out the last kinks
in the Yaguchi Plan.
Copy !req
1783. We ask your approval to deploy it.
Copy !req
1784. I'm sorry, Izumi,
Copy !req
1785. but the UN resolution
has already passed.
Copy !req
1786. Some say the US seeks a quick resolution
Copy !req
1787. for one primary reason.
Copy !req
1788. And that's to bury their
knowledge of Gojira.
Copy !req
1789. Of course, and we already know that!
Copy !req
1790. And you know the condition
that our country is in.
Copy !req
1791. All due respect, why let other nations
Copy !req
1792. blow our country up
when we could save it?
Copy !req
1793. What you're saying is
the fate of our country,
Copy !req
1794. it would be best
guided by our own hands.
Copy !req
1795. Perhaps it's time that
Japan did as it pleased.
Copy !req
1796. Yes, you're right.
Copy !req
1797. So, my stamp.
Where do I affix it?
Copy !req
1798. "Once the coagulate
has been administered"
Copy !req
1799. as strategized, the blood will freeze
Copy !req
1800. "and render the creature
immobile as a result."
Copy !req
1801. Wordy, I know.
Copy !req
1802. You have a name for this plan?
Copy !req
1803. "Yashiori" after the legendary
saké that felled a hydra.
Copy !req
1804. Very well. We'll run
this op in five phases.
Copy !req
1805. Akasaka worked out the details.
Copy !req
1806. Requested vehicles
have all been prepped.
Copy !req
1807. Plus explosives drills
have been conducted
Copy !req
1808. and quite successfully, I might add.
Copy !req
1809. Forces are execution-ready.
Copy !req
1810. I owe you thanks.
Copy !req
1811. No, you don't.
Copy !req
1812. It's our job.
Copy !req
1813. Just two days left on the countdown.
Copy !req
1814. Dammit. I still need
three days in order to
Copy !req
1815. make the amount of coagulant we need.
Copy !req
1816. Is there any way the
countdown could be suspended?
Copy !req
1817. Who on the Security Council could we get
Copy !req
1818. to help us stall?
Any suggestions?
Copy !req
1819. Not China or Russia because they're too
Copy !req
1820. geopolitically close to us.
Copy !req
1821. How about France?
Nuclear country.
Copy !req
1822. I'm sure they'd be
interested in biology, too.
Copy !req
1823. - Yeah.
- I've got a French contact.
Copy !req
1824. Would you like for me to reach out?
Copy !req
1825. Yes, please.
Copy !req
1826. I'll try the Chief
of the European Bureau.
Copy !req
1827. Do it. And I'm going to
call the Foreign Minister.
Copy !req
1828. We need 24 more hours, people!
Copy !req
1829. Sir!
Copy !req
1830. France has petitioned
to interrupt the countdown.
Copy !req
1831. China and Russia are opposed,
but we're maintaining silence.
Copy !req
1832. That's because it isn't just hardliners
Copy !req
1833. at the nucleus of
Washington and the Pentagon.
Copy !req
1834. Japan has grown up enough to have
Copy !req
1835. international trade deals on the sly.
Copy !req
1836. Danger is another opportunity
for personal growth.
Copy !req
1837. Our friends are progressing with
Copy !req
1838. an effective deep freeze plan.
Copy !req
1839. I think this country is betting on it.
Copy !req
1840. And you're raising that bet also I see.
Copy !req
1841. Nuclear weapons are a deterrent.
Copy !req
1842. I've been trying to advise
Charles against it,
Copy !req
1843. but it goes against the flow
of the mainstream.
Copy !req
1844. And you and I must bear
the risk of retaliation.
Copy !req
1845. Me, I'm okay.
Copy !req
1846. But you, with your fastidious career
Copy !req
1847. and the Patterson name, mud will stick.
Copy !req
1848. And your dream of becoming president
Copy !req
1849. in your forties will disappear.
Copy !req
1850. Hey, Kayoco.
Copy !req
1851. Good luck.
Copy !req
1852. Yeah.
Copy !req
1853. A joint strategy, huh?
Copy !req
1854. Our countries can raise
the chance of success
Copy !req
1855. by partnering up.
Copy !req
1856. The US'll give my plan a shot?
Copy !req
1857. Gotta admit I'm surprised.
Copy !req
1858. Well, it helps to have me as a friend.
Copy !req
1859. Whatever you need, I can get,
Copy !req
1860. whether it's vehicles or technology.
Copy !req
1861. Even drones if you need them.
So, what do you say?
Copy !req
1862. I'm in, but there is
no guarantee of them
Copy !req
1863. coming back in one piece.
Copy !req
1864. Of course. I'll bill
the Japanese government later.
Copy !req
1865. We were able to finish
the number of inhibitors
Copy !req
1866. that you needed. That's right.
Copy !req
1867. You can send over
the tankers to pick them up.
Copy !req
1868. They're done.
Copy !req
1869. We have material and coagulant.
Copy !req
1870. Everything will be
operation-ready in a few hours.
Copy !req
1871. You can give HQ the green light.
Copy !req
1872. Yaguchi. Are you sure
you won't reconsider
Copy !req
1873. accompanying the front line troops?
Copy !req
1874. I have to be there
because a political decision
Copy !req
1875. might be needed.
And if so, I have to make it.
Copy !req
1876. It's still risky.
Directing from the rear's safer.
Copy !req
1877. Don't you want to be
the PM in ten years?
Copy !req
1878. If we're not able to pull this off,
Copy !req
1879. there may not be a country left by then.
Copy !req
1880. If I don't make it,
there are lots of others
Copy !req
1881. who can take my place.
Such as you.
Copy !req
1882. You'd make a great leader.
Copy !req
1883. You've kept me going
through this. Thank you.
Copy !req
1884. Don't thank me.
Thank Akasaka's mentoring.
Copy !req
1885. Good luck.
Copy !req
1886. Thanks. Now go save this country.
Copy !req
1887. Operation Yashiori will be dangerous!
Copy !req
1888. The risk of radiation exposure
Copy !req
1889. could result in both sickness and death!
Copy !req
1890. I cannot promise that
all of you will make it back!
Copy !req
1891. But know that your work will matter!
Copy !req
1892. The greatest strength
that this country has
Copy !req
1893. is you, its people!
Copy !req
1894. The SDF. It's the last fortress
that can protect this nation,
Copy !req
1895. and you are its soldiers!
Copy !req
1896. The future of Japan
is now in your hands.
Copy !req
1897. Protect it.
Copy !req
1898. Roll out!
Copy !req
1899. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
1900. Weather readings were
Copy !req
1901. just confirmed, sir.
Optimal conditions as hoped.
Copy !req
1902. Skies are clear.
Copy !req
1903. Northwest wind is at two meters.
Copy !req
1904. It's holding steady and...
Copy !req
1905. If conditions remain steady,
Copy !req
1906. the plume should blow out to the bay
Copy !req
1907. and minimize the impact to the city.
Copy !req
1908. All platoons are
on the ground standing by.
Copy !req
1909. The US attack drone
squadron is in the air
Copy !req
1910. in its designated holding pattern.
Happy to report.
Copy !req
1911. All systems are go, Chief.
Just waiting on one thing.
Copy !req
1912. Word from Tokyo that
the evacuation is complete.
Copy !req
1913. We've only got one shot
at this so we can't wait.
Copy !req
1914. Let the local governments
know we're proceeding
Copy !req
1915. and to enact curfew.
Copy !req
1916. Roger that.
Alert Kanto area municipalities.
Copy !req
1917. Have them issue a mandatory
curfew for all citizens!
Copy !req
1918. Indoor confinement, fifty-hour minimum!
Copy !req
1919. Roger! And Commander,
Copy !req
1920. we've just gotten word that
the train car detachment...
Copy !req
1921. it's approaching the zero point!
Copy !req
1922. Then let Operation Yashiori commence!
Copy !req
1923. Phase 1 Diversion! Begin!
Copy !req
1924. Success! The train blasts
Copy !req
1925. were effective, sir!
Copy !req
1926. Proceed to Phase Two!
Copy !req
1927. Commence with the aerial assault!
Copy !req
1928. Contacting US Forces, sir!
Copy !req
1929. Command, this is Bravo 1.
Copy !req
1930. Target in sight, engaging.
Copy !req
1931. Copy that.
First wave airborne. Engaging.
Copy !req
1932. Sir! The target is discharging
Copy !req
1933. photons from its dorsal fins!
Copy !req
1934. Gojira's taking down the drones
Copy !req
1935. just as we anticipated.
Copy !req
1936. First sortie destroyed!
Copy !req
1937. Don't stop.
We're going to wear that thing down
Copy !req
1938. and keep it discharging
energy. Until it's spent!
Copy !req
1939. Second drone sortie destroyed.
Copy !req
1940. Third drone sortie commencing attack!
Copy !req
1941. Target moving to
Copy !req
1942. predetermined coordinates.
Copy !req
1943. Third sortie destroyed!
Copy !req
1944. Contamination zone is growing.
Copy !req
1945. Radiation. It's exceeding
the permitted amount.
Copy !req
1946. If we stop now, all will be lost.
Copy !req
1947. So continue the attack!
Copy !req
1948. Fourth sortie destroyed!
Copy !req
1949. Launch fifth sortie now!
Copy !req
1950. Those beams. They've stopped discharging
Copy !req
1951. from the fins.
But something strange is happening.
Copy !req
1952. How the hell can it do that?
Copy !req
1953. Fifth sortie has been destroyed.
Copy !req
1954. That thing's plume.
It's doubled in intensity!
Copy !req
1955. Hang on. Can't stop yet.
Copy !req
1956. Launch the sixth sortie now!
Copy !req
1957. Volume is decreasing, Commander.
Copy !req
1958. The target's flame has just ceased!
Copy !req
1959. Luring target to Kill Point 1 complete!
Copy !req
1960. Right! Begin Phase Three!
Stationary blasting!
Copy !req
1961. Ignite!
Copy !req
1962. Radiation is at expected levels.
Copy !req
1963. Now fixing target at Kill Point 1!
Copy !req
1964. Right. Start Phase Four. Guided blast!
Copy !req
1965. Target is down!
Copy !req
1966. Kill Point 1 fixing complete!
Copy !req
1967. Launch final phase!
Deploy special crane platoon!
Copy !req
1968. Roger! First platoon! Forward!
Copy !req
1969. Crane Platoon One.
Hydra-Slayer One.
Copy !req
1970. Move out! Cranes 12 to 14,
Copy !req
1971. deploy to battle positions
behind BP2 per your orders!
Copy !req
1972. Hydra-Slayer One, Crane 11,
Copy !req
1973. and BP1 in deployment zone, over.
Copy !req
1974. Crane 11, Hydra-Slayer One, copy!
Copy !req
1975. Standby with engines ready!
Deploy outriggers!
Copy !req
1976. Approach BP1 and when ordered,
commence injection!
Copy !req
1977. Crane 12 and BP2 deployed.
Copy !req
1978. Hydra-Slayer One. Crane 15.
All vehicles deployed.
Copy !req
1979. Engaging hook-up. Over.
Copy !req
1980. Crane 15.
Hydra-Slayer One. Copy!
Copy !req
1981. Stay at outer operation range!
Copy !req
1982. Begin the injection!
Copy !req
1983. Injecting coagulant!
Copy !req
1984. All pumps initiate!
Copy !req
1985. RC is operational!
Copy !req
1986. Okay, raise the output pressure!
Copy !req
1987. Target the mouth as much as possible!
Copy !req
1988. Commander, 20% of supply administered.
Copy !req
1989. The dosage target is now exceeding 30%.
Copy !req
1990. Crane Platoon One.
Copy !req
1991. They're gone.
Copy !req
1992. Dosage is working!
Look, the target's slowing down!
Copy !req
1993. Now's our chance!
Deploy all train bombs!
Copy !req
1994. Do it now!
Copy !req
1995. Gojira. He's fallen!
Copy !req
1996. Then roll out
the second and third platoons!
Copy !req
1997. Second and third platoons. Forward!
Copy !req
1998. Freeze the bastard!
Copy !req
1999. Do it! Administer all at once!
Copy !req
2000. Fifty percent of supply administered!
Copy !req
2001. The first 20 tanks are almost empty.
Copy !req
2002. Got it. Switch tanks to 21
and above! Quickly!
Copy !req
2003. Sixty percent of supply administered!
Copy !req
2004. Seventy-five percent of supply gone.
Copy !req
2005. We've now passed the coagulant
minimum that was projected.
Copy !req
2006. Ninety percent of supply administered!
Copy !req
2007. One hundred percent used!
Copy !req
2008. Critical point's been reached!
Copy !req
2009. The target's skin
appears to be stiffening!
Copy !req
2010. Please let this work.
Copy !req
2011. Did it work?
Copy !req
2012. Oh, no! The target has resumed activity!
Copy !req
2013. Full evacuation now!
Copy !req
2014. Change positions! Hurry!
Copy !req
2015. All troops, abandon attack
Copy !req
2016. and evacuate to the holding area!
Copy !req
2017. Chest area temperature
Copy !req
2018. has dropped to negative 196 degrees.
Copy !req
2019. Gojira. It's completely shut down!
Copy !req
2020. Operation Yashiori...
Appears to be a success.
Copy !req
2021. Thank you. All of you.
Copy !req
2022. We were down to just under an hour,
Copy !req
2023. which was far too close for comfort.
Copy !req
2024. But we wouldn't have even had that
Copy !req
2025. if the PM hadn't been able
to convince France.
Copy !req
2026. 'Scuse me!
Copy !req
2027. Come and look at this survey data.
Copy !req
2028. Huh.
Copy !req
2029. Gojira's new isotope
has a half-life of 20 days.
Copy !req
2030. And then halved again a month from now.
Copy !req
2031. It'll be gone in two to three years.
Copy !req
2032. Right. That's good news
for the residents of Tokyo.
Copy !req
2033. Yeah.
Copy !req
2034. Thank goodness.
Copy !req
2035. Good work.
Copy !req
2036. Yaguchi, I've been told
that the Satomi cabinet
Copy !req
2037. will soon be resigning en masse.
Copy !req
2038. All in line with your scenario, correct?
Copy !req
2039. Wasn't mine.
This was all Satomi's scenario.
Copy !req
2040. The capital and the government
are in shambles right now.
Copy !req
2041. It's a good opportunity
to rebuild it right.
Copy !req
2042. And speaking of which, once the relief
Copy !req
2043. and reconstruction bills
have been passed,
Copy !req
2044. the event that will happen
afterwards is the next election.
Copy !req
2045. To resuscitate Japan
and its 3.6 million refugees,
Copy !req
2046. we'll need a new leader
and a new cabinet.
Copy !req
2047. This country was devastated before
Copy !req
2048. but it rose from the ashes.
Copy !req
2049. It'll do so again.
Copy !req
2050. The countdown was only suspended.
Copy !req
2051. But it'll restart if Godzilla
begins moving again.
Copy !req
2052. Nuclear weapons will
be used if that happens.
Copy !req
2053. I'm really amazed you agreed to that.
Copy !req
2054. Well, I had to keep the world satisfied.
Copy !req
2055. Now Japan, no...
Copy !req
2056. all mankind, must coexist with Gojira.
Copy !req
2057. So you shared the data with France.
Copy !req
2058. Yes, with France, and the entire world.
Copy !req
2059. But still I regret nothing.
Copy !req
2060. I like this "by-any-means"
approach of yours.
Copy !req
2061. Therefore... don't quit.
Copy !req
2062. When I'm President of the US,
Copy !req
2063. you'd be ideal as
my Japanese counterpart.
Copy !req
2064. Your Japanese puppet, you mean.
Copy !req
2065. The fact remains
that casualties were high.
Copy !req
2066. And accountability comes with this job.
Copy !req
2067. A politician must decide
whether to own it or not.
Copy !req
2068. I myself choose to own it.
Copy !req
2069. Well, like Maki said,
"Do as you please."
Copy !req
2070. Hmph.
Copy !req
2071. I guess now's not the time to quit.
Copy !req
2072. Because things aren't settled.
Copy !req
2073. Not yet at least.
Copy !req
