"than are dreamt of in your philosophy"

This is United Nations reporter Eric Carter, with the news.

As the series of earthquakes continue to destroy Chile...

the United Nations has granted immediate emergency aid.

Transport planes laden with food and medical supplies...

have already been dispatched to the stricken area.

Through the facilities of the International Communications Satellite...

we take you live to Santiago de Chile...

and our UN reporter, Rodrigo lnfanta.

(Carter) Hello, Santiago. This is Eric Carter in New York.

(lnfanta) Hello, Eric.

This is Rodrigo lnfanta reporting via ICS...

from the UN newsroom in Santiago de Chile.

The planes have already arrived and are being unloaded.

The last recorded tremor was four hours ago.

Hopefully, it was the last.

I have a message from the President of Chile...

conveying his heartfelt thanks to the United Nations and the Red Cross...

for their swift and most excellent assistance.

Rodrigo lnfanta signing off from Santiago.

[beeping]

Thank you, Rodrigo.

Considerable attention has been focused on the Bering Sea.

The Japanese fishing fleet has reported a strange phenomenon.

Large icebergs have been breaking up...

the floes of which are drifting southward towards Japan and melting quickly.

The Japan Current, sometimes called Kuroshio, divides here.

The northern branch skirts Asia...

and merges with the cold Oyashio Current.

This normally cold ocean stream...

is maintaining an abnormally warm temperature.

The United Nations has dispatched its nuclear submarine, Sea Hawk...

with several of the world's most prominent scientists into the area.

More on that matter, as it arises.

Japanese scientist Akira Makino...

winner of last year's Nobel Prize for Medicine...

claims to have made a rather amazing discovery in the field of chemotherapy.

These red berries, discovered on his latest field trip in the Bougainville area...

produce a non-habit forming narcotic effect.

Unfortunately, he reports...

the berries grow in only one small, remote, primitive island...

and the natives there are reluctant to give them up.

It seems animals are fond of this fruit...

and the berries are ground into juice by the natives...

to placate a "mysterious god," who lives on the island.

The god is supposedly an enormous creature that no one has ever seen...

but who is rumored to be taller than many of their mountains.

Dr. Makino would make no comment on whether such a creature exists or not...

but the Pacific Pharmaceutical Company...

Dr. Makino's employer, claims he does exist.

They also claim that the reason he is such a giant...

is because he eats Dr. Makino's berries.

There is one thing we can be certain of that these berries will produce...

and that is a giant advertising campaign.

I call the plant "some."

So far, our early tests have shown remarkably good results.

We are pleased.

My notes confirm this.

I will, however, need more berries to continue with the tests.

But because of their god...

the natives absolutely refuse to give up any more than just a few handfuls.

How strange.

Would you show us exactly where the island is on the chart?

Of course.

Just before returning home...

I touched at Bougainville, here in the Solomons.

And about 62 miles south from there...

was a small island called Farou Island.

There, gentlemen, is where I found the red berries...

and the strange god.

Strange story, Mr. Makino.

I find it hard to believe that. Furue.

Sounds like a fairy tale, Doctor.

Does a giant creature exist here?

Since you ask my opinion, my answer is yes.

A giant monster?

He must be putting us on. We must really need publicity.

It's heads. So get a monster.

Tako. Not a monster, really.

Yes, a monster. Come on, think.

I want action now, and no arguments.

A wonderful stunt. Terrific.

Of course. Have you seen our latest TV ratings?

They're terrible.

Who out there is watching our show? Nobody.

Because it's dull and boring and without imagination, that's why.

Pacific Pharmaceutical demands publicity.

You two are going to Farou.

Find me a genuine monster, if he exists or not!

Steaks are ready. Are you hungry? Hungry? I'm starving.

Wait. I have something to show you first.

Look at this. Sewing machine thread.

This is wire. Stronger than steel.

Just watch this.

(Fujita) We're testing it Monday in Hokkaido.

Hold it! Don't do that. No, don't.

(Sakurai) Stop! I'm convinced.

Yeah, but don't do that. Come on. Stop. I believe you.

Stop it, you're not Tarzan.

All right. You win.

Come on. No more.

You should take some with you on your expedition.

There is nothing stronger.

Here. (Sakurai) Hey, that's not fair.

What?

How come your boyfriend's steak is bigger than your brother's?

Sakurai, stop it, will you?

Fujita.

Eat, honey. I made the steak for you.

Hey, what's so interesting?

Story about a submarine. Submarine?

UN submarine Sea Hawk is calling in from the Arctic Sea.

Hello, Sea Hawk. Go ahead, Commander Roberts.

(Roberts) This is Commander Roberts...

reporting from UN submarine Sea Hawk.

We are approaching area and will submerge shortly.

(Carter) Hello, Sea Hawk.

This is Eric Carter from UN Headquarters...

switching you now to Yutaka Omura in Tokyo.

Hello, Sea Hawk. This is Tokyo.

Our tracking stations in Japan are following you closely.

(Roberts) Thank you. Over and out.

We are following the submarine Sea Hawk by ICS.

Her present location is latitude 58 degrees north...

longitude 178 degrees east.

Captain, water temperature is 68 degrees.

68 degrees? it can't be.

There aren't any warm currents in the Arctic Ocean.

Check that temperature. (crewman #1) Yes, sir.

Captain, I see a strange light behind the iceberg dead ahead.

(Captain) That must be it. Let's go down and have a look.

Take her down, fast.

Emergency dive.

Doctor, what do you make of that?

It looks like the Chelenkhov Light.

Chelenkhov-- Light?

What can that be?

Yes, that's it. It's the light generated in nuclear reactors.

And that light looks very much like it.

Captain, we're having a Geiger response.

Stand by.

[distorting]

Depth at 85 meters.

Still heading towards the iceberg.

We're getting closer. Up underwater periscope.

[thudding]

Emergency lights.

[siren wailing]

All stations report damage. What did we hit?

It must be an iceberg. Iceberg?

(crewman #1) Periscope out of order. (crewman #2) Atomic fuel room damaged.

[thudding]

Captain, propeller shafts, engines badly damaged.

Engine room reports repairs impossible.

Oh, great!

Captain, do something before we are crushed to death.

Fire mayday water signal.

[water bubbling]

Captain, the Geiger response is climbing.

Captain, sonar's out of order.

I am sure a rescue party will come looking for us.

There's nothing we can do but wait and pray that they see the mayday signal.

(crewman #1) Water in the engine room.

Secure all the bulkheads.

(crewman #2) Captain, water in the conning tower.

Secure the hatch.

[thudding]

(crewman #1) Engine room flooding rapidly.

Captain, do something.

Abandon ship. All hands prepare to abandon ship.

(crewman #2) The escape hatch is jammed.

Captain, we're trapped.

[all screaming]

[helicopter whirring]

Look there, Al, in the water.

A marker around the iceberg. That's them. Let's go down.

What do you make of that, Al?

[Godzilla roaring]

Godzilla!

The world is stunned to discover that prehistoric creatures...

exist in the 20th century.

Tracking stations show Godzilla heading in a southeasterly direction...

towards the offshore islands of Japan.

He seems to be traveling in a straight line and on a predetermined course...

though, as yet, we have no explanation as to why.

Dr. Kenji Shigezawa, Minister of Defense...

has been meeting with the Army chiefs of staff.

(Carter) The armies have been alerted

as we wait for more news from Japan.

Dr. Shigezawa, a statement, please. ls Godzilla coming?

Yes, he is. He is approaching, quickly.

Can we stop him? We must not panic.

If there is one thing we cannot afford at this time, it is hysteria.

A national emergency may exist.

But the armed forces will defend Japan at all costs.

That's really all I can tell you now. Good day.

(reporter) What if the Army can't stop him?

Of course, other plans are now being considered.

Any way we can find to stop Godzilla must be considered.

I see. Then you have discussed using the atom bomb?

Possibly, as a last resort.

If we do not destroy Godzilla soon...

the monster will destroy us all.

Gentlemen, that's all I can tell you for now. Good day.

[Godzilla roaring]

[roaring]

Yutaka Omura from Tokyo reporting that the situation is grim.

Evacuation plans are being prepared.

People should have small, light baggage ready.

Please remain calm.

The Japanese Navy is filling the various harbors with evacuation craft...

and we now wait to see in which direction Godzilla will strike next.

[exclaiming]

No more! I'm sick of Godzilla.

Send a wire. Immediately!

Oh, yes. Right away, sir.

I want my own monster. Find me a monster, fast.

That's exactly 10 words, sir. Send it. Send it!

[horn blowing]

Land,ho!

Land ho!

Come on. There it is!

Land off the starboard bow!

Farou Island.

[natives chanting]

[native chanting]

[speaking native language]

[screaming]

[drums beating]

[birds chirping]

[continues speaking native language]

Good luck.

Thanks. We'll need it.

Shove off.

Sakurai, I'm scared.

Why? It looks like a friendly sort of island.

[stuttering]

Do you suppose they know?

[screaming]

(Furue) Wait! Don't point those things.

We bring gifts. I got presents for you.

Don't shove. Please, don't push.

Wait a minute. He brought me here!

Him. He's the leader. (Sakurai) Hold it!

[speaking native language]

[all gasping]

[all screaming]

Chief? Is that the Chief?

That's the Chief. Konno, listen!

We're here on a goodwill mission, got it?

I'm not here to become their dinner.

[drums beating]

[speaking native language]

[speaking native language]

Well?

He order you to leave this place. Right now. At once.

He's right. Let's go. Hold it.

Will you just take it easy and calm down?

Listen. We want the Chief to know we came here as his friends.

Tell him a big boat is coming back for us tomorrow. And smile, will you?

I smile.

[speaking native language]

[speaking native language]

Here, hold this.

Konno, give me the radio. Come on. Hurry.

Chief...

See what I've got. Magic. Try it out.

[speaking native language]

This radio.

Two transistors.

I show you. With this here...

all other chiefs will shake in your power. Shake.

Shake. Tremble. Like me.

See? Switch it on, like this...

and you get my magic-

[radio playing]

[Japanese song playing]

[laughing]

Furue, quick, the smokes.

[all laughing]

(Sakurai) Cigarettes? Inhale.

Inhale.

[all chattering]

They satisfy.

Too bad. We forgot to bring candy.

Your mommy... You better not smoke it around home.

[tribals chattering]

Think it's all right? It's okay. They're all smoking.

[speaking native language]

[speaks native language]

He gives you permission to stay. Good.

But he will not be responsible...

if the giant god comes down from the mountains and eats you up.

Fair enough.

Sakurai, maybe we can still catch the boat. Forget it, will you?

Konno, give these to the Chief. Tell him to keep the pack. Hurry.

[thunder cracking]

[all screaming]

[drums beating]

[all chanting]

[thunder cracking]

[shuddeflng]

Big spirit! Big spirit! Pray! Pray!

What was that?

Hey, that noise is only the lightning up there.

That ferocious god of theirs is only lightning caused by the thunder clouds.

You can't be scared of that.

[continue chanting]

Look at them. Ignorant primitive savages...

frightened to death by a little lightning up in the sky.

And you're no better.

[laughing]

[animal growling]

Hear that? That thunder ain't thunder.

Yes, it is thunder.

That's ridiculous. Just in case, let us pray, too.

I don't believe in superstition. You pray.

Fumiko.

Hi, Tamiye. What's wrong?

Fumiko, Fujita's plane crashed. It's in the papers.

"Flight 311X to Hokkaido crashes."

(Fumiko) "Tragedy struck Hokkaido Airport today.

"In addition to the crew...

"118 passengers die on board.

"27 survived."

Maybe he could be one of the survivors. Why don't you go to Hokkaido?

Do not go to Hokkaido. I repeat.

The Japanese government has asked me to inform all people...

that they have good reason to believe Godzilla will strike next at Hokkaido.

Mr. Carter.

I see Eric Carter is ready with Dr. Arnold Johnson in New York.

(Yutaka) Go ahead, New York.

(Carter) Thank you, Japan.

This is Eric Carter in New York.

Dr. Arnold Johnson is curator of the New York Museum for Natural History...

and an esteemed authority on prehistoric animals.

Dr. Johnson, you've agreed to explain to us some of Godzilla's history.

I said I would attempt to explain.

After examining photographs of Godzilla taken by the ICS...

I tend to classify him as a prehistoric specie of dinosaur...

possibly a cross between the gigantic Tyrannosaurus Rex...

and the Stegosaurus...

which is sometimes known as the plated dinosaur.

Roughly, this particular form of reptile...

existed somewhere between 97 and 125 million years ago.

That seems an impossibly long period of time for anything to remain alive.

Even frozen inside of an iceberg.

In Mexico, they found a frog, which they think lay dormant for two million years.

In Japan, flowers bloomed recently from lotus seeds 3,000 years old.

The fact that Godzilla is here and alive...

forces us to reconsider many theories on suspended animation.

Dr. Johnson, you stated Godzilla would definitely come to Japan.

What makes you believe this?

Fossils found in Japan resemble Godzilla.

Also, he headed instinctively for Japan...

like a salmon returning to the waters in which he was born.

It's my opinion Godzilla thinks he's heading home.

Our modern weapons seem to have no effect on Godzilla.

Have you any suggestions as to how he can be stopped?

Well, I know the atom bomb is being considered...

but that would be more destructive than the creature itself.

As a reptile, Godzilla might shy away from electricity.

But at this time, I wouldn't care to hazard a guess.

Thank you, Dr. Johnson.

Dr. Johnson has consented to stand by at UN Headquarters...

and keep himself available for comment and consultation.

As you know, the UN newsroom and all its facilities...

will remain open 24 hours to keep the world completely informed on this crisis.

Meanwhile, the expedition dispatched by Tokyo Television Company...

and the Pacific Pharmaceutical Company...

reports that they have heard the cries of the giant creature on Farou Island.

They are now moving into the interior...

to establish contact with this strange island god.

It is hoped he will be friendly.

[birds chirping]

(Furue) Wait for me. Where are you?

[Furue whistles]

Wait for me. Come on, keep up.

I'm tired. Can't we rest?

No, we'll keep going until dark. Who says?

I says! And if you don't like it, you can go back to camp.

Okay. But look, my corns hurt.

You and your corns.

But, you see, my corns always hurt when they're near a monster.

Great. When you and the monster meet...

be sure you tell him all about your corn problems.

I heard something. Quiet.

[giving orders in native language]

[bird squawking]

Konno, bring up my camera!

[thunder cracking]

[Furue screaming]

It's only a lizard. Throw it! Throw it down.

[lizard screeching]

[animal roaring]

Hurry. We'll be trapped.

You see? My corns never lie.

[all chanting]

Furue, what is it? What hurts?

The corns.

I don't want to hear about your corns until we finish our job.

After that, you and your corns can go home.

Chikiro, Mr. Furue must need sleep.

Get red berry juice. Hurry.

Good idea.

Chikiro!

Chikiro!

Chikiro!

Chikiro!

Chikiro!

Chikiro.

[both speaking native language]

[roof creaking]

[screaming]

[all screaming]

What's the matter? Giant octopus. Hurry.

What? He's after the berry juice. Hurry!

[all screaming]

Watch out. Stay back.

Get him back here. Hurry. Come on, hurry!

[screaming]

Why, do something! They're still alive.

Hold it. Here they come now.

[animal roaring]

[tribals yelling]

[roaring]

[whispers] The soma.

He'll fall asleep.

[shushing]

♪ J'[tribals singing in native language]

[King Kong snoring]

Leave him here. Let's go.

Don't be stupid.

[continue singing]

Let's go home. We're going home.

Konno, we're going home! With Kong.

With Kong?

Yoshio Tako of Tokyo Television reports...

that the giant god of Farou Island...

an enormous gorilla known as King Kong...

has been captured and is being brought to Tokyo.

Mr. Tako claims ownership for himself...

and the Pacific Pharmaceutical Company...

and is flying out to greet his expedition.

What about this, Dr. Johnson?

Legends of giant gorillas have persisted for some time.

Now the fact that Kong and Godzilla have appeared at the same time...

is interesting, scientifically.

Godzilla has a brain about this size.

He is sheer brute force...

while Kong is a thinking animal.

His brain is considerably larger...

about 10 times the size of this gorilla's skull.

Being instinctive rivals...

there is no doubt that they will attempt to destroy one another.

But our latest reports show that Godzilla has disappeared.

Keeping this in mind, do you still believe he will attack Japan?

I do.

Being amphibian...

Godzilla is probably lurking in the ocean depths off Japan...

where the depths go to about 20,000 fathoms.

He could be puzzled at the changes...

that have taken place during his long sleep.

But I have no doubt that when he decides to return to land...

he'll select Japan.

How does that sound in Tokyo?

Not very good.

But the Army is up to full strength...

and evacuation plans for all cities are underway.

What about the arrival of Kong?

King Kong has the strength to tear Tokyo apart with his bare hands.

The government has no intention of giving him the chance.

It's Tako!

Hi, Tako! Hi, Boss.

[exclaims]

Captain. Welcome aboard.

Boys, you did a wonderful job. A wonderful job, indeed.

Wonderful!

There! King Kong!

I think he's found a hero.

(Furue) Stop! (Sakurai) Don't. That's dynamite.

Press that lever and pow goes Kong.

Pow? Don't you understand?

The raft's dynamite is wired to that fuse.

Oh, boy!

[siren wailing]

Are you the Captain? I'm the Captain.

You are to remain outside of Japanese waters until further orders.

Who is going to be responsible for King Kong?

I am. My company owns him.

I have government orders. "King Kong is not to enter Japan.

"Considered a menace, King Kong must be

taken back to Farou Island at once.

"These orders are final."

My Kong?

Your orders are specific.

My contracts. The TV commitments.

"Return Kong to Farou.

"Kong, considered a menace to Japan, must be returned."

If these orders are not obeyed...

I have instructions to place responsible parties under arrest.

Mr. Tako! Boss!

Fujita? Hi.

What's wrong? I thought you were dead.

Dead? Do I look dead to you?

Your airplane, it crashed.

I missed it. The boss kept me working.

But Fumiko went looking for you.

In Hokkaido. Hokkaido?

What a mess I made.

Are you going out? No, we've decided to leave the city.

Why? ls there something wrong?

Godzilla. Really? Godzilla?

We just heard the late news on the radio. Godzilla was seen near Hokkaido.

Mommy, let's go see Godzilla.

Child, we're not going to a zoo. Hurry.

Fumiko's train? Tsugaru.

It's the express. No!

[train horn blowing]

I hope she isn't bothering you.

I don't mind it.

Godzilla has risen from the sea.

There is no doubt that he is now moving directly towards Hokkaido.

The eyes of the world have turned to Japan in this moment of crisis.

The United Nations is giving their full support to defense preparations.

Each nation has pledged armed divisions and heavy weapons.

The main question is whether the men or the weapons can stop Godzilla.

General Masami Shinzo, in charge of Japan's defense...

has kept the emergency council in all-night session.

I beg your pardon, General Shinzo, but this is our latest report.

Godzilla is nearing Hokkaido.

(Gen. Shinzo) Excellency, we may need the atom bomb.

It is my sincerest hope that this will be our last resort.

Just where is he now?

Sir, Godzilla's last position was reported by helicopter...

on the Hokkaido mainland in this area.

43 to Control. Godzilla is approaching.

He seems to be attracted by the train lights.

[screaming]

[brakes squealing]

(girl) Mommy! (Fumiko) There, there.

Mommy! That's better.

(man on P.A. system) Attention. Godzilla is approaching.

Evacuate the train. Godzilla!

[people screaming] Please, don't panic. Stay calm.

[people clamoring]

[roaring]

[clamoring]

Hurry! Get in the trucks! Get in! Let's go!

Wait for me! Please. Wait.

(Fujita) Watch out. Get out of my way!

Stop! You, go back! Go back! Go back!

My girlfriend's on that train.

How many left behind? 14 or 15 more. On the old highway.

Okay. Move.

All right, keep it going. Faster. Come on.

Hey, come back. You'll be killed!

[Godzilla roaring]

[people shouting]

Give me a ride. Godzilla's coming.

Come back. You fool!

[Godzilla roaring]

Fumiko!

Are you all right? Fujita! Oh, thank God!

[Godzilla roaring]

[King Kong grunting]

[blowing whistle]

He's waking. Do something. What do you want me to do?

[King Kong roaring]

[King Kong roaring]

Yes, Captain? Cut that cable.

Aye, sir. Cut that cable.

God! Let's hurry. The dynamite.

Right.

Dynamite? No.

There's no time to argue. Destroy him. What?

King Kong is my responsibility, and you have no right to destroy him.

You dumbbell. Dumbbell?

King Kong could kill us all. You wouldn't care.

Publicity is all you want. Publicity.

No! Don't do it. Leave it alone.

King Kong is mine... No!

[King Kong grunting]

[roaring]

Use your rifle. Shoot the dynamite. Hurry up.

No!

[bullet ricocheting]

(Tako) Stop it!

[King Kong roaring]

King Kong is free. He has reached the Japan mainland.

He has been sighted heading in a north-northwesterly direction...

which seems to be in a path meant to intercept Godzilla...

who is moving southward towards Tokyo.

(Yutaka) The best explanation for this comes

from Dr. Arnold Johnson of America.

(Dr. Johnson) It appears that King Kong...

scenting the presence of a hated enemy...

is determined to destroy Godzilla.

Thus, a battle of the giants...

which may or may not have taken place millions of years ago...

may be recreated soon on the Nasu Plain.

Stop! Pull over. This way.

Just where do you think you're going, mister?

I represent Tokyo Television and Pacific Pharmaceutical.

King Kong is under my sponsorship.

[helicopter approaching]

[roaring]

Get ready.

[grunting]

[roaring]

Look. Here they come.

Pictures. Get some pictures.

I think I'd better get a light check.

I'm putting my money on Kong.

[helicopter whirring]

I'll bet Kong has no chance.

I'll toss you. Heads for King Kong.

[King Kong roaring]

Tails.

Don't quit! That Kong! He's chicken.

It's more like fighting a flamethrower.

Fight back. Fight him!

[Godzilla roaring]

Kong has retreated.

Godzilla now reigns supreme...

and will, in all probability, continue his march towards Tokyo...

destroying everything in his path as he goes.

The Army has made plans for the first line of defense.

These villages have been evacuated.

(Carter) The defense plans, in a simplified form...

are to dig out an enormous pit and line it with explosives and poison gas.

Riverbeds and canals on each side of the pit...

will be filled with gasoline and set on fire.

The fire should drive Godzilla into the trap in the center...

where the explosives can be detonated.

We're nearly through with that section.

General Shinzo, Godzilla reported in close vicinity.

(Gen. Shinzo) He'll be here by night.

(man on P.A. system) Godzilla is sighted.

Please work as quickly as possible.

Get that dynamite ready.

Open valves. Release gasoline.

(soldier) Valves opened. Gasoline released.

[roaring]

Godzilla approaching. Light torches.

Wait for your signal.

Release torches.

[fire roaring]

[Godzilla roaring]

Stand by.

Fire. Fire.

[explosives rumbling]

[helicopter approaching]

(officer) Go back! He's alive.

Godzilla has crossed the first line of defense.

He seems indestructible.

On the advice of Dr. Johnson, a blockade of high-tension wires...

containing more than one million volts of electricity...

is being hastily linked around Tokyo.

It was observed in his attack on the train at Hokkaido...

that he moved away from the high-tension wires whenever possible.

Yet, Dr. Johnson...

you have stated that King Kong grows stronger from electricity.

Yes. For some reason we do not yet understand...

Kong draws strength from electric voltage.

Then, if the electric blockade stopped Godzilla, it would not stop Kong?

No. it would not.

Thank you, Dr. Johnson.

I'm sorry to interrupt, but we're switching now to the northwest perimeter...

where Premier Shigezawa has gone to inspect the electrical blockade.

All thoughts here are centered on repulsing Godzilla and saving Tokyo...

and over 10 million people from certain death.

The blockade is ready.

The only question is, will it work?

[helicopter approaching]

[Godzilla roaring]

Godzilla!

Connect tension.

It's working.

(soldier) Where's General Shinzo? (guard) Up ahead.

General, M-Two says Kong approaching Tokyo.

King Kong?

[roaring]

[people clamoring]

[siren blaring]

[ship's horn blowing]

What? We'll be right over.

[buzzing]

(man on radio) King Kong approaching electrical blockade.

All civilians evacuate immediately.

[people clamoring]

[siren blaring]

(aide) Attention. General Shinzo.

[King Kong roaring] There he is, General.

[electrical sparking]

(newscaster) King Kong has entered Tokyo.

You'd better leave tonight.

Ships in harbor are waiting to evacuate all civilians.

King Kong has entered Tokyo.

All civilians evacuate immediately.

I won't leave you. Get going.

Sir, what about the atom bomb? I'm not ready to discuss it.

But it's our only chance. We hope it is not.

Why not?

Because we're not anxious to destroy Tokyo, that's why.

Doctor, what can you tell us? Please, sir, tell us something.

There is nothing more to say. The atom bomb is ready and waiting.

But first, we must evacuate Tokyo and perhaps all Japan.

[whistle blowing]

(Fumiko) Fujita!

[helicopter whirring]

[siren blaring]

[train horn blaring]

[people screaming]

[Fumiko screaming]

(Fumiko) Put me down! Please help!

[Fumiko sobbing]

[screaming]

No!

Help! Put me down!

[Fumiko continues screaming]

[siren blaring]

[Fumiko screaming]

[helicopter whirring]

(soldier) Hit it with the lights.

General, the guns are ready, but they won't stop him.

King Kong will only become angrier.

Soldier, I'm in charge.

You listen to me.

Attention, all gun batteries. Attention, all gun batteries.

Stop! Listen! You can't start shooting at Kong now.

He's holding my sister in his hand.

Hold your fire. Yes, sir.

Hold fire.

I can see her. She's alive.

But we can't hold our fire for long.

King Kong must not be allowed to escape.

[siren continues blaring]

Let her go. Put her down!

You ugly monster. Let her go.

What'll we do? I know.

What's that?

Get my drums, right away. Sure.

I can stop him, sir.

You can? Yes. I'm sure we can put him to sleep.

Soma. A perfect idea.

We can explode them from above.

That's right.

You have the berry juice put inside the head of a rocket.

The exploding fumes will put him to sleep.

Obayashi. Yes, sir?

Get the soma from my office. Yes, sir.

You can't do that. Fumiko's up there. Don't worry. It's all going to work out.

Tako, l hope we're right.

King Kong can't make a monkey out of us.

[roaring]

Easy with that stuff.

Get those loudspeakers in position.

Get me that microphone. Easy.

[siren continues blaring]

[helicopter hovering]

Here, get that sound tape ready.

What if it doesn't work? It's got to work.

Keep your fingers crossed. I'm gonna go.

Okay. Ready. Good.

Ready here.

Ready! Fire one! Fire two!

[playing]

[tribal music playing]

Wait.

Go on.

[crashing]

Help out. My arms are tired.

She's free.

He's got her. Go.

[helicopter approaching]

Fumiko.

Are you all right, Fumiko?

[siren approaching]

Sakurai. How do you feel?

Fujita! I'm here, dear.

There's the ambulance.

(Sakurai) Take her this way. Easy now. (man) Careful.

(reporter #1) Congratulations, fellows. (reporter #2) Wonderful.

(reporter #3) Good job. (reporter #4) My congratulations.

(Gen. Shinzo) Congratulations, men.

Sir, Godzilla's at Mount Fuji.

Gentlemen, our blockade cannot last forever.

We must act.

The atomic bomb is out of the question.

Our only chance is somehow to bring them together.

Kong versus Godzilla.

If we are lucky, both will die.

Both Will die?

But how can we move him?

General, an airlift with balloons.

Fujita, your wire will hold Kong, won't it?

Sure. Let us try.

All right. Good. Let's go.

(officer) Move those cables.

[truck engine revving]

(officer) Turn on the helium.

[hissing]

More helium. (man) Move quickly.

Go.

Hurry.

[helicopter hovering]

Whenever you're ready.

Kong's ready.

Sir, Operation Kong is ready.

Proceed. Take him up.

[helicopter whirring]

Look at that! It's going up!

(Sakurai) That wire of yours is great. It's holding him.

Great publicity, huh?

How soon do you figure we'll be there?

(pilot) By morning. Good.

Faster.

Look. Kong's waking up.

There's Godzilla. Look below.

[roaring]

Okay, drop him.

[explosives rumbling]

[Godzilla roaring]

Look at that.

[both roaring]

I can't tell who's winning. Can you? Not yet.

Kong, hold his tail!

[Godzilla roaring]

[thumping]

Godzilla is roasting King Kong.

Electrical storm up ahead of us, sir.

Lightning bolts. Kong has a chance.

Electricity makes him stronger. Now watch.

Electricity makes him stronger?

[thunder clapping]

[power surging]

[roaring]

[both roaring]

Look at them go.

[both roaring]

[rumbling]

What's that? Earthquake.

Earthquake?

Look.

Kong is swimming safely out to sea.

No Godzilla.

That's wonderful.

I hope we've seen the last of them for a long time.

Godzilla has disappeared without a trace.

As for King Kong, our International Communications Satellite...

is following him.

[helicopter whirring]

And strangely enough, we wish him luck...

on his long, long journey home.

[King Kong roaring]
