King Kong vs. Godzilla

" There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,

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 lnfante.

He/io, Santiago. This is Eric Carter in New York.

Hello, Eric.

This is Rodrigo infante reporting via /cs 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 infante signing off from Santiago.

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 seahawk

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

More on that matter as it arises.

Japanese scientist akiro 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 "soma."

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. 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 fauro island.

There, gentlemen, is where I found the red berries and the strange god.

Ooh, strange story, Mr. Makino.

I find it hard to believe that, uh...

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 fauro.

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.

We're testing it Monday in hokkaido.

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

Stop. Stop! I'm convinced! I'm convinced!

Don't do that! Come on, stop!

I believe you.

Stop it! You're not Tarzan!

All right, you win.

Come on, no more.

No more.

You should take some with you on your expedition.

There is nothing stronger.

- —Here. - 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 seahawk is calling in from the arctic sea.

Hello, seahawk. Go ahead, commander Roberts.

This is commander Roberts reporting from UN submarine seahawk.

We are approaching area and w/I/ submerge shortly.

Hello, seahawk, this is Eric Carter from UN headquarters

switching you now to yutaka omura in Tokyo.

Hello, seahawk, this is Tokyo.

Our tracking stations in Japan are following you closely.

Thank you. Over and out.

We are following the submarine seahawk by ics.

Her present location is latitude 58 degrees north,

longitude 778 degrees east.

Captain, water temperature is 68 degrees.

Sixty-eight degrees! It can't be.

There aren't any warm currents in the arctic ocean.

- Check that temperature! - Yes, sir.

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

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 a cherenkov light.

Cherenkov light? What can that be?

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

And that light looks very much like it.

Captain, we're having a geiger response.

Stand by!

Depth at 85 meters!

Still heading towards the iceberg.

We're getting closer. Up undennater periscope.

Emergency lights.

All stations, report damage.

What did we hit?

- It must be an iceberg. - Iceberg?

Periscope out of order.

Atomic fuel room damaged.

Captain, propeller shafts and engines badly damaged.

Engine room reports repairs impossible.

Oh, great.

Captain, do something before we are crushed to death.

Fire mayday water signal.

Captain, the geiger response is climbing.

Captain, sonar's out of order.

I'm 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.

Water in the engine room.

Secure all the bulkheads.

Captain, water in the conning tower!

Secure the hatch!

Engine room fiooding rapidly.

Captain, do something!

Abandon ship!

All hands, prepare to abandon ship!

The escape hatch is jammed.

- Captain, we're trapped! -

Look there, ai, in the water.

A marker around the iceberg.

That's them. Let's go down.

What do you make of that, al?

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.

The armies have been alerted as we wait for more news from Japan.

- Dr. Shigezawa, a statement, please. - —Is 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.

Ueponefl 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.
