[Emiko] It's good that they got us another ship so quickly.

[Tazaki] We are escorting their biological samples and orylium,

which are top priority for the Foundation.

You look exhausted. You okay?

Back in Tsushima, I thought I was gonna die.

Of course I'm exhausted.

Hmm? This dead Kaiju!

Is it healing itself somehow?

It looks like the tissue is regenerating from the orylium.

Maybe due to the proximity, or possibly some sort of radiation.

Did we know this was going to happen?

No. At least there's no record of it.

Quite the coincidence, huh?

What do you mean?

You know when something doesn't sit right with you?

When you have a simple question that turns into more questions?

I've got too many questions.

[Emiko] Huh...

Oh, I just wanted to say,

I know I lost it on the ship.

Eh?

I was unhelpful, and you stepped up.

It's okay. You still managed to pull yourself together and save us.

Well, I owe you one.

So after all this, I'd like to take you to dinner.

Alright. I'd like that.

[chuckles softly]

Hmm? Oh.

- [Brody] Hey! - Huh?

- What's up? - You were leaning over the railing.

It'd suck if your glasses fell and broke.

No need to worry. These are made of reinforced plastic.

[gasping softly]

[delicate music playing]

[Joe retching]

Shit!

How are we not there yet?

How are you not used to this?

Here. Take this.

[grunts]

You don't feel sick at all?

Nah, this is nothing, Joe. I'm fine.

Huh?

[wind blowing softly]

[beeping]

[researcher 2] Handle those carefully.

[researcher 1] Check recovered samples. How is the Orylium's radiation levels?

[Dario] Decreasing rapidly.

- [distant boom] - [researchers] Huh?

- [researcher 1] Let's get a move on. - [Dario] Yeah.

- [rumble] - Ah!

- [researcher 1] Earthquake! - [researcher 2] A big one!

[reporter] ...following reports of the sighting of a third giant creature.

A water creature which landed on Tsushima,

died after an incredible fight with a turtle-like creature.

May I speak to this Tazaki person as soon as possible?

How dare you tell me to calm down right now?

This is my son we're talking about here!

[reporter] ...giant creatures.

So your orders are don't make a fuss and do whatever the Foundation tells us?

Who do you think you are?!

- [scoffs] - [slams headset]

Ridiculous.

Looks like they're determined to avoid informing us about the Kaiju.

One Kaiju after another with no end in sight.

And for some reason, Douglas keeps getting mixed up in it.

I've heard about Tsushima.

We should deploy more of the Self-Defense Forces.

Sir, we haven't notified the Foundation or the US Forces about the attack.

It's just a tactical exercise.

A show of strength so people don't lose faith.

[tense music playing]

[hatch clanks]

Any news on the fifth Kaiju?

Apparently, the Ministry of Defense is trying to collect intel,

but it seems like the relevant parties aren't talking.

Now they're sending us to Camp Naha

to do an "exercise."

[tense music playing]

[beeping]

This is Tazaki. Thank you for your help in Tsushima.

Eh?

No.

The Foundation has been difficult.

[whirring]

[tense music rising]

[kids gasping]

This is the Eustace Foundation's Mining Base.

When it comes to cutting edge research, we are the biggest and best in the world.

You mean that I'm at the biggest... in the world?

Shit. I still feel like shit.

[Boco] You'll be okay. We're technically on land now.

[Joe] Land? This is a frickin' floating island!

[Joe groans softly]

[Boco] Look! Is that...?

A rocket?

Wow, awesome!

A passenger shuttle with a booster rocket so it can break out of the atmosphere!

The Foundation uses it to get to the Moon Base.

Via the International Space Station, we can transport resources from the Moon.

[grunts]

I don't give a damn about the Moon.

When the hell will you let us go home, lady?

We're supposed to be back by Monday, right?

I'm sorry.

I know you're upset, but due to some unforeseen circumstances--

Aren't you all pissed off? This sucks!

Always being dragged around and attacked by Kaiju?

And forget the tests and that shit!

Well, that makes sense, but--

You're not wrong, it's just that--

We've already come all this way, Joe.

[Joe sighs]

I can't just disappear. I have a newspaper job.

And my Dad,

he'll just drink and sit on the couch, until there's nothing left.

You know that, Boco.

Yeah. I know, but still--

Just stop! It's your fault we're here,

helping the Foundation on this stupid island!

What if another Kaiju attacks us?

We'll be okay.

We managed to escape from the others, Jiger and Zigra.

We were just lucky!

I promise, we'll all be okay.

Even if another Kaiju does come to attack us,

Gamera will be there to protect us.

Boco.

You really have no idea

how easily people can just die.

Like Mom and Toru.

[gasps]

Hey kids, how about we go inside?

We'll get these test done, then you can relax.

[Tazaki] What exactly is a Kaiju, may I ask?

That's why you are working for us, Mr. Tazaki,

to gather information and find out.

[chuckles]

Yes, of course.

I just wanted to confirm because

I've got just so many questions.

You're welcome to ask.

Uh... for example,

why are certain groups of children persistently being attacked?

Why are the Kaiju's carcasses rotting, despite being preserved in a vacuum?

And, why does the presence of orylium seem to stop them from decomposing?

Mr. Tazaki, the Kaiju Research Unit has three main priorities.

To find out how to counter-attack the unknown organisms known as Kaiju.

To figure out how the Kaiju create the energy sustaining their bodies,

and to ensure humanity's protection from their threat.

And to contribute to the prosperity and progress of humankind.

This is precisely what we told you when you started this job.

Of course, thank you.

Your answers are quite clear.

Until next time.

[Brody] A psychological test?

Oh, honestly, I don't think I need it. It doesn't look that scary.

I have no cavities, and I have excellent vision.

My mom said people in our family always live a long time.

About my family?

None of your business, dude.

Next question.

[Boco grunts]

You see? That was all pretty manageable, huh?

Great. When do test results come in?

We may need to re-test you depending on the result

or if we find anything.

Just to make sure there's nothing abnormal going on.

- If there was anything, we'd want to-- - [Joe grunts]

What the hell are you talking about?!

[Boco sighs]

Joe.

Seriously, that's enough.

You gotta stop acting like a little kid, okay?

- You're the kid here! - [Boco] Eh?

Talking stupid nonsense about Gamera protecting us!

But he did, didn't he, from Zigra?

And what about Jiger and Gyaos, huh?

So what?

We might have died at least three times by now!

Just a coincidence!

Three whole times?

You're not doing anything to help, or making a point, or...

You're just throwing a fit!

I'm just--? I just don't want you to--

Emiko, did you bring us all to this island just to test our health?

Huh?

You said this is an important facility.

Understandably, with the security and specialized buildings.

What's odd are all the ventilation ducts,

and that massive, but seemingly hollow cylinder out front,

suggesting a large, underground cavern.

You surprise me.

As usual.

[elevator humming]

[all gasping]

[all gasp]

[elevator dings]

[Boco] Is that a...

You captured... a Kaiju?

I'm presuming, this is the Kaiju we saw in the photo?

[Emiko] Yes, it is.

It's the first Kaiju the Foundation found.

Its name is Viras.

[all gasp]

Radio-carbon dating of the rock strata

shows that this Kaiju lived around 100,000 years ago.

But apart from that,

it's a mystery.

And we've never found a fossil of any other Kaiju.

Perhaps they are extraterrestrial entities.

[chuckles softly]

That's an interesting theory.

[gasps]

But the situation has changed in the past couple of weeks.

We discovered that orylium plays an important role

in preserving a Kaiju's life.

This is the same material inside a Kaiju's body, right?

Yes.

When the orylium in a Kaiju loses its energy,

the molecular structure of its flesh and bones

decompose at an accelerated rate.

[Tazaki] It seems that Viras is the exception.

Mr. Tazaki.

This one's unique.

It's different from Gyaos, Jiger or Zigra.

It remains mummified in this state.

Even without any orylium present in any part of its body.

[kids gasp]

Do you have a moment? We need to talk.

[gasps]

The Foundation has provided a room for you all.

I understand it's not home, but I hope you find it comfortable.

[all gasping]

Alright! The same video game my mom confiscated!

Way better than the ones at the arcade!

[Brody laughs]

[Joe] Stop!

We have no idea if they put something in the food.

[all] Huh?

[swallows]

There's another Kaiju?

And it devoured Zigra's body.

How awful!

It could be on its way here right now.

But they would have told us!

Would they?

Maybe they just forgot about the cannibal Kaiju in our meeting.

But why?

I tried to bury my doubts but,

they've convinced me something is wrong.

Then, why hire us just to lie?

I've been asking myself that too, but...

I can't work for people I don't trust.

Mr. Tazaki, you're not gonna resign, right?

I've got connections outside the Foundation.

They'll be here shortly. Come with me.

[gasps]

Something's wrong with the Foundation.

They can't be trusted!

C'mon, you guys.

We shouldn't have come here.

There's a freaking Kaiju that's right beneath our feet, remember?

Yeah. Good point.

They didn't hide anything from us, really.

They showed us the photo of that Kaiju, Joe.

Don't you remember?

Yeah, good point.

You see?

They went out of their way to make this nice--

That's obviously just to make us lower our guard!

That food must be drugged, I promise you it is!

- Wha-- Really? - If they wanted to drug us,

the easiest and most convenient time

would've been when they were running their tests on us.

[Joe] Ugh! You're kidding!

Didn't you feel anything when you saw that Kaiju?

I don't wanna be near that goddamn monster!

Joe. Calm down.

It's okay if you feel scared, but you can't act--

I'm scared?

Boco.

You don't understand.

You don't understand a goddamn thing!

[Joe grunts]

[lock bumps]

[Joe breathes heavily]

[Boco] Oh...

See?

Told you so.

[gasp]

I don't think that you should leave the Foundation.

I think this job is important.

And I know at one point, you did too.

You know, when I was a kid,

my father and I were watching the Apollo landing.

I was excited about space travel.

And then he said, "My boy, this will be good for business."

So you just joined for him?

No, his business failed.

We lost everything and our family ended up penniless.

I worked like hell to get a scholarship, and eventually graduated from college.

I finally got a job with the Foundation.

And it's to investigate this Kaiju phenomena,

and to look after those children.

I just wanted to go to the Moon and start my own business.

And if I stay with the Foundation, I'll never make it.

Time for me to quit.

And you'll abandon the children?

You know, I never wanted to deal with children.

That's actually why I divorced my wife.

So you're gonna run. Is that it?

I guess so.

Although you're the only thing worth staying for.

Oh. If I quit this job,

I'll still take you out to eat.

Promise is a promise.

Why else do you think they'd lock us in here?

They're using us like lab rats!

No, they're not!

I trust the Foundation.

You can't trust them just because they're nice to you!

They aren't gonna protect you, Boco!

Stop it.

Huh?

Stop bossing me around!

You just yell and try to control everything!

I'm trying--

I'm not your brother, okay?!

[gasps]

- What happened-- - [Joe] All right, Boco.

Do whatever you want then.

I'm getting out of here.

Uh, I'm coming with.

- Huh? - I'm curious about something.

But what do you mean, go with him?!

You said you wanted to help the Foundation.

I thought that you and Emiko were becoming friends and stuff.

That's precisely the reason.

Huh?

It's okay if you don't understand, Brody.

What does that even mean?

We may be able to go through that duct.

The vents seem to connect the entire base.

- [Joe] Eh... - [Brody] Huh?

Yeah, sure.

[Brody] Have we forgotten the Foundation is working with US Forces?

You know, the good guys?

If we do something wrong, that means we're doing bad, like bad guys!

I don't care.

See ya...

- Joe. - [Joe scoffs]

[Junichi grunts]

[controller] This is Yonaguni Island Mining Base.

You're cleared for landing at port number six.

Please respond? Port number six. Copy, port number six.

[Joe] Maybe we can steal... a boat or something.

There might be an island nearby here.

That's not such a bad idea.

As long as we can discover a few things of interest about the base.

Sure, yeah.

You know, I didn't think you'd come.

Is it because of Emiko? Do you like her?

I'm not sure if I do.

I just wanna get to know her.

I'm curious. I guess.

[grunts]

[grunts]

[groans]

Are you okay? Letting them go like that?

Why are you asking me? They wouldn't listen anyways, so...

[Brody] But... but...

They're alone, in a tight space.

Maybe holding hands, helping each other.

What do you mean? They'll be back soon.

But--!

But so much could happen.

It is pretty rare to see you two like that.

Huh? What do you mean?

I've never seen you and Boco argue.

I know. That was our first fight.

- [video game sounds] - Quite the fight. How you doing?

[Boco] Hmm?

Mm.

[character in video game dies]

[electronic voice] Game over.

I shouldn't've said that.

Said what?

About his brother.

Yeah, probably.

I didn't know he had a brother.

You see, when Joe was in first grade, his little brother died.

Huh?

In an accident.

His mom too.

His dad really never got better and drinks.

So no one in town will hire him.

Joe works as a paperboy to pay all the bills.

How long have, uh, you been hangin' with him?

We became friends in first grade.

How come? The two of you are just so different.

[Boco laughs]

What's up?

You know,

we're friends because of a messy situation.

Huh?

Toru was exactly like Boco.

He didn't fear anything.

It's stupid, but... he reminds me of him.

Oh.

I said I'd help him practice riding a bike, but,

Toru insisted he'd be okay riding without me.

[exhales]

He never did learn how to ride.

He just always rode with our mom on her bike.

And...

You know, I can understand how Boco is feeling,

not wanting to be treated like that.

Uh...

[exhales]

I don't treat Boco as if he's my brother.

It's just--

He got teased a lot in school.

Ever since we met.

I... didn't fit in well at school.

Some bully in class started picking on me.

And of course, Joe came to rescue you, that right?

Mm-hmm.

Classic Joe. Mr. Hero.

Hang on. There's nothing funny about that story.

Well, he did scare off the bully because...

he peed himself.

Huh?

Peed his pants.

Wh--?

[upbeat music playing]

It really gets better every time I hear it!

[giggles]

Well, I had no choice.

I hadn't eaten all day. I was just drinking water.

I saw Boco being bullied on my way to the bathroom.

And when you punched the bully--

Yeah.

Since I was tensing up my muscles, I started peeing, and couldn't stop.

Maybe you should have gone to the bathroom first, Joe.

[Joe] Didn't have time.

You know, Boco said the exact same thing then.

[Boco] Normally you'd go pee before a fight.

[Joe] Normally you talk bold, get knocked out cold! Bo-Co!

[Boco] Oh yeah? Well, you're "gotta go Joe"!

- [Joe] That's a good one, Bo-Co! - Yeah!

[both laughing]

[upbeat music continues]

Great.

Looks like a dead-end.

[Brody] Really? So "Joe" comes from...

when he peed himself?

Mm-hmm.

What kind of a nickname is that?

[laughs]

[Boco] Yeah, but...

[Brody laughs]

...I think "Boco" is equally as bad.

Ever since then, he's been by my side.

Always going out of his way to protect me.

So? What're you gonna do now?

Let's go after them.

So? What are we gonna do now?

We're done.

Let's go.

Jeez Louise...

You know what, Joe?

You're cool, even if you pee your pants.

[Joe] What's that mean?! You makin' fun of me?

[Brody] Mm.

Hey, so what about Junichi?

You two met and just suddenly became friends?

Junichi?

- Ah, that is another crazy story. - [Brody] Mm-hmm.

When we were in third grade, we heard about a UFO--

- [rumble] - Uh oh...

Hey!

What's the matter? Keep telling me about the UFO!

Hang on. Was that an earthquake?

[rumble]

Hey. what's that?

Maybe... an earthquake?

A strange seismic wave?

What's the source? A volcano?

No, it's coming from a rock just beneath the sea bed.

- [rumble] - [both gasp]

[Tazaki] The shuttle goes once a week?

- Huh? - To the Moon Base, right?

Oh yes, that's right.

It carries various supplies to the lab in the low-orbit station once a week.

How does one get a job flying that thing?

Gotta be a lot of training.

I believe most of the shuttle pilots used to be members of the air force.

Wait!

Do you wanna switch jobs yourself, sir?

No, I'm just wondering.

[rumbling]

[loud metallic clang]

[loud thud]

- [grunts] - [glass shattering]

[splash]

[low growling]

What the hell?

- Another Kaiju? - We have to get Joe and Junichi, quick!

[panting]

- [grunts] - [doorknob rattles]

Open the door!

- [grunts] - Someone open the door! Hey!

Oh, we can use the communicator! Try to call them!

Yeah, good idea.

Oh. What the--?

What's the matter?

It's not working!

Fuck!

Ah, shit!

What do we do?

Go after them.

We have to, right?

[exhaling] Of course we do.

[Boco grunts]

[tense music playing]

[Junichi] Huh? What's that noise?

Hurry up, Junichi! We've gotta get back to Boco and Brody!

[Junichi] Okay.

[rumbling]

[Emiko] That's Guiron! The one found in the Niue mine.

But the reports said the mine sunk, right?

It looks like we found what caused the collapse.

We need to seal the cylinder shaft right away

and start the evacuation!

Yes! Right away.

Every helicopter I get close to, blows up!

I'm tired of all this!

Mr. Tazaki, we should run! Quick!

What else are we gonna do? Punch it!?

[panting]

[device beeping]

[Emiko] Mr. Tazaki!

I'm following protocol, but-- We need you to take command of the troops!

Why me?! I told you that I quit!

Well, I've got no one else!

[gasps]

[tense music builds]

[sighs]

Sir, a giant creature is attacking the Foundation's Mining Base

near Yonaguni Island!

[Osborn] What?

Contact the Pacific Rim Forces.

We'll coordinate our attacks with the two combined fleets.

[operator] But...

It seems that the UN has already ordered forces not to attack the base, General.

What?!

Douglas...

- [soldiers] Let's go! Hurry up! - [clamoring]

But if we fire the missiles. we risk damaging the base, sir.

We need to hold it until everyone is evacuated.

- I'll take responsibility. - Sir.

[muffled boom]

Christ! What's that?

[ominous music playing]

- [slash] - [explosion]

[Tazaki grunts]

What are you doing?

Divert its attention, now!

- [bang] - [Boco] Ah!

[Boco and Brody grunting]

[gasps]

- [Brody] What's going on? - It's blocked.

They could be stuck in there!

[intense music playing]

[clang]

[slash]

[grunting]

Diversion Unit 1, are you there?

Can you hear me?

Shit!

It's no use.

[intense music rising]

- [growling] - [gasps]

What's it doing?

Wait, is it looking for something?

[man] Let's go! Don't stop!

Do you have confirmation for the transfer? Samples and the orylium?

Yes, ma'am.

I already confirmed with Luwig.

Great. I guess it's time to abandon this place.

I'll go and check on the evacuation ship.

Hang on! Where are the children?

I thought Erkki left to escort them.

- No, he didn't. - Huh?

- So are they still in the waiting room? - Get to the ship!

Understood. Good luck!

Joe, hang on! My glasses are slipping off my face.

Shit! We're completely stuck in this damn place!

Uh, what do you mean we're stuck?

- What now? - Yeah, what do we do?

- [Joe, muffled] Boco! - [Boco] Huh?

[Joe] Boco! Can you hear me? Boco!

[Junichi] Can you hear us? Boco!

Joe! Junichi!

[Boco] Joe! Are you there?

There's another one! A Kaiju! We've gotta run!

They're close!

Boco! Wait there! I'm coming!

But it won't move, and I can't think of a solution.

We passed a fork back there, right? Maybe there's a way out!

[Junichi] It's better than just crawling around up here!

[ominous music playing]

Going off like that!

Hey! Boco! Where are you going?!

Boco! Where are you?!

Joe, this way instead!

We can't save them if we're in danger!

Whoa...

[Tazaki] This way! Quick!

Hurry up! Get on, quickly! Don't stop for anything!

Mr. Tazaki!

The base's supports are crumbling. They won't hold for long!

- We have to leave now! - We've done all we can.

Wait!

Where's Emiko?

Emiko?

She had to go to the south wing, to get the children out.

What do you mean?!

[Emiko grunting]

[grunts]

[gasps]

[straining]

[Emiko] Mr. Tazaki!

Don't worry. Most of them... have been evacuated.

Just as you instructed.

- [straining] - Well, then-- why did you come?

You told me... that I'm running away from something.

My ex-wife said that too.

Truth is, I've been running for a long time.

But I'm tired of running. [straining]

If I stayed, maybe I could have persuaded her, maybe not.

I'm supposed to be a negotiator,

but I couldn't persuade my ex-wife, or the Foundation members,

and I can't persuade you, Emiko.

Yeah, he is.

It seems that he's protecting us.

He was right...

[Joe] For Christ's sake.

You're pretty useless without me.

Shut up.

I keep telling you, mind your own business!

It's nothing for him.

Gamera won't lose.

Never.
