Mobile Suit Gundam (1979–1980): Season 1, Episode 14 - Time, Be Still - full transcript
Mobile Suit Gundam
Rage on! Rage on! Rage on! Gundam!
You must run forth!
If you are still burning
with furious rage...
...You must fight the towering foe!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Bring to bear the rage of justice, Gundam!
Mobile Suit Gundam! Gundam!
Rise once more! Rise once more!
Rise once more! Gundam!
You must seize the power!
Fly toward the galaxy, Gundam!
Mobile Suit Gundam! Gundam!
The Zabi family seeks to impose
a dictatorship over all of mankind,
ruling from the Principality of Zeon,
a giant space city-state
floating beyond the moon.
The leader of the Zabi family,
Gihren Zabi,
waged war against the Earth Federation...
...in order to make all of mankind
kneel before him.
After evading a Zeon attack,
the White Base escaped from
the space city Side 7...
...and landed on Earth.
However, there was to be no
brief rest for the young crew.
For Amuro, burdened by his
parting from his mother,
it seemed that his troubles only increased.
Time, Be Still
Here's wishing victory
to the Principality of Zeon!
Hey, this is boring!
Get off the stage...!
Hey, this is boring!
Get off the stage...!
How long shall this go on?!
Go away!
I'd rather have one more bullet
than you bothering me.
Giyal!
No point in being mad at the pigeon!
I'm stuck in this border zone, polishing Zakus!
Of course I'm angry!
Never mind that, come down.
I have something to talk to you about.
All right.
What is it?
Aren't the recreation corps visiting?
It's boring with just a bunch of guys.
You mean, the Federation's mobile
suits are in action around here?
Yes. Sol's a comms officer reporting directly
to the commander and I heard it from him.
Then... Is our squad heading out?
Idiot. They wouldn't send us.
We're just a patrol squad.
And given how cautious our boss is...
He'll not start anything.
And?
We're thinking of taking on those mobile
suits just with us younger ones.
Mobile suits?!
How many do we have to deal with?!
As long as we're doing it on our own,
the boss says we can try
beating them if we like.
If it goes well, they'll send us home.
Back to a nice, clean, bug-free Zeon.
Yes, but...
But there's only my one Zaku in this squad.
What will you do?
Tell him the plan, Sol.
They only have one mobile suit.
And it was made in a rush, too.
Is that so...
The engine maintenance will be
completed by dawn.
Not to worry.
So? What did you want to ask me?
We're not part of the regular forces.
So, why are you re-supplying us
and making repairs for us?
The Federation will not
abandon the White Base...
...and they do intend to send you
a superior officer.
However, there's a big offensive
being planned in Europe.
Currently, the Federation doesn't have
the luxury of sending...
...relief personnel to a unit like yours
which is holding its own in battle.
Is it that bad?
Zeon is in the same situation.
Besides, the White Base's main mission
is data collection at the moment.
Data collection?
Correct.
Amateurs tend to devise more
interesting tactics than professionals.
We collect those tactics
from the computers' memory banks.
So, you ignore us on purpose
to use as guinea pigs.
You don't like being a guinea pig,
Ensign Bright?
I haven't received any such orders.
Ensign? Me?
Yes. That's what General Revil said.
I'm sure you'll be notified soon.
They do like to mess us around.
If it wasn't for General Revil,
you would've been executed long ago.
E-Executed?!
Yes.
Amuro, what is it?
N-Nothing.
You're supposed to be asleep right now.
Yes, sir.
Young man.
It's just like Mr. Bright says.
Sleep is part of a pilot's job, too.
Yes, ma'am.
I'll be more careful.
What a lad.
Is it such a crime to have taken control
of the White Base and Gundam?
Up until now, anyway...
Ensign Bright Noa.
Where have you been?
The toilet.
The toilet's that way.
Well, whatever.
What is it?
Nothing.
Come with me, Haro.
What's her problem?
Amuro, have you had your meal already?
Amuro! Have you had your meal?
No, not yet.
We're to breach
the Zeon patrol network, got that?
Have the Gundam ready on standby.
Yes, sir!
Mr. Bright. This is the escape
route of Matilda's craft.
And this is the White Base.
Both routes are clear.
Will they let us escape?
That depends on the Zeons.
I saw a flash of light ahead to the left.
The Minovsky particles are dense.
We can't identify it.
I'll send out a signal flare.
That patrol isn't listed on the schedule.
No response to the flare.
Yes, ma'am.
Take us lower.
We'll escape at combat speed.
Prepare anti-aircraft guns.
It's a Medea transport.
It's flying at maximum combat speed.
That means it's not carrying any cargo.
It must have unloaded the cargo
somewhere near here.
Yes. Could it be related to the Trojan Horse
that Chief Cuaran was talking about?
It's possible. Send out a flare!
Right.
Help get the Zaku ready!
Yes, sir!
Help get the Zaku ready!
Yes, sir!
Tell the boss we're moving out.
Tell the boss we're moving out.
Right!
If I launch an attack,
the enemy will send out
their mobile suit too!
All right? Be sure to tell Cuaran!
Yes, Petty Officer!
Cuaran, don't be late.
Chief Cuaran!
Hey!
Sol, hurry up!
When the mobile suit comes out,
we follow the plan we discussed last night.
Don't forget that we get to go
home if this is a success!
Sol! Ready?
Yes, Chief!
Such a racket, so early in the morning!
That Cuaran is always like this.
There it is. The Medea transport.
Return fire at 1 o'clock.
And get lower.
That style of attack can only be a Zaku.
Skim over the enemy.
That's bold for a big target.
Where is it?
If those Lugguns were covering me, ...
A direct hit to the container!
No matter! Just keep going!
Laser reading... The Medea's in combat!
Miss Matilda?
The Medea's been snared by a Zeon patrol.
The White Base shall provide support.
Mr. Bright! I'll go in the Gundam!
But isn't the White Base's supply work
not yet unfinished?
What? Yes, but...
You still want to?
Yes, sir! I'll launch!
Is that it?
I hope nothing's happened to Miss Matilda.
The Federation's mobile suit!
It's the Gundam.
He didn't have to come.
Ma'am?
Let's accept the Gundam's
kindness and escape.
Yes, ma'am!
Stay safe, Miss Matilda.
Don't pursue it too far, Amuro.
Did I get him?!
What's that sound?
Those soldiers are unprotected!
Facing the Gundam with machine guns...
What kind of attack are they planning?
What's wrong?! Why am I shaking?!
I won't let you get away!
It's your fault for coming out!
Hide under the trees!
You'll be hit from above!
Where are they?!
I'll get you!
What are those? What are they planning?!
Get the weak spots on the armour!
Amuro! Answer me! Amuro!
Did you destroy the Zaku?
Amuro! Can you answer me?!
The enemy ship is here! Retreat and
aim at the bombs on the mobile suit!
Let's go!
Lousy pilot!
All we have to do is hit one of the
bombs we attached, and it's toast.
Why, you...!
Don't underestimate me!
Don't you dare take me for a fool! I'm...!
My shield...!
It's exploded?!
So that's it!
They were planting bombs on the Gundam.
And they're going to...!
Th-This must be one of them!
How many did they plant on me?!
Amuro, what's wrong?!
They've planted bombs all over the Gundam!
This isn't a good spot, so...
I'll move to the meadow up ahead and check.
Roger.
Get Omur!
He knows all about bombs!
I can't believe we have to wait 30 minutes
for our bomb timers to go off!
Don't be that way. I never thought
we'd be able to plant them so easily.
Do you think they
can save the mobile suit?
If it turns out like this,
I'll really wish we had remote control bombs.
It would be KABOOM by now.
Yes, a patrol squad like us
never gets the good stuff.
But can they remove the bombs in 30 minutes?
There are five left?
After the one that blew up?
Should be quite the spectacle.
I'm not really sure.
I can definitely say that the timer
on this bomb is functioning.
Amuro, can you tell anything from the x-ray?
Well, all I can tell is...
This thin wire should work like a time fuse...
That's about it.
In other words, if we try to tear off the
plastic explosive from the magnet,
it'll explode, Mr. Omur?
Yes, that's right.
We have no choice but to remove them.
All right, I'll do it.
B-But this is my responsibility!
Please stand back, both of you!
There could be no time left at all.
I'll get started on it.
It looks like the pilot's removing the bombs.
If they have any common sense,
they should know the bombs will explode.
And they're removing them anyway?!
There are only...
...12 minutes left.
Is he serious?!
He's removed the second bomb!
Not bad, for a Federation pilot!
Is he on the third?
Looks like they have the crane up.
8 minutes left. Will he make it?
Mr. Bright!
Why aren't we all helping him?!
If we all help, it'll be done quicker.
They might explode any second.
In order to minimise the casualties,
Amuro's the only one who can do it.
But that's so...!
Fraw Bow!
Miss Mirai, you're a hypocrite too!
You're a coward!
You can say whatever you want.
Restraining yourself is also brave.
We can't let you sacrifice yourself
along with Amuro.
It should be the other way around!
Amuro's a pilot!
I'll do it instead!
Fraw Bow, could you do
a better job than Amuro?
Miss Mirai,
you're cruel...!
He's working hard.
If these explode now,
that's it for Gundam, and for me...
There are still one or two left?
Should be.
He's persistent.
What kind of man is he?
They must have noticed the timers by now.
If he's kept at it despite all that,
he must be fairly brave.
Fairly brave, you say?
It's taking a lot of time.
He's not coming out.
Let me see!
He's not coming out.
Let me see!
Is he around the back?
Yes.
It's just about time.
Ah!
Amuro!
It's no use! Amuro!
Amuro!
All right. If it's just raising a leg or arm...
Take over here!
All of you, stay on the White Base!
What?!
All right! That's enough!
1 minute, 20 seconds.
Can they do it in time?
Amuro! Hurry! It's taken too long!
Okay!
Please go ahead!
All right! We'll go a kilometre away!
Ah. They've removed them all?
Another 18 seconds.
Looks like we shan't be going home.
I suppose we're not the only ones
risking our lives.
Hey! I wonder what the fool
who removed the bombs is like!
More, please.
Sure!
Oh? There's a car coming.
What?
It's a civilian truck.
No, a station wagon.
That's odd. In a place like this?
Hey, this is unusual!
Is this a Zeon mobile suit?
Hey, this is unusual!
Is this a Zeon mobile suit?
Is this a Zeon mobile suit?
I don't think so... Looks different.
I don't think so... Looks different.
Oh my...
Who are you? Where are you from?
Oh my...
Who are you? Where are you from?
We're just young fellows from around here.
This is a Federation mobile suit, isn't it?
Is the man in the white there
perhaps the mobile suit pilot?
What's wrong?
Did you hurt yourself, Mr. Pilot?
Don't look so angry, Mr. Pilot.
Keep up the good fight, soldier!
See you!
Lucky chaps...
People who live on Earth are so lucky.
So carefree.
Those were the ones who planted the bombs.
Yes, it seems that way.
The Gallop and Gouf appear in the desert.
Wanting to know Char's whereabouts,
Sayla disobeys orders and launches into battle.
Her reckless actions put the Gundam in danger.
Will Amuro's rescue attempt succeed?

Amuro, do not look back.
The star shining far off in space...
Amuro, it's your homeland
where you were born.
Do you remember the days
of your childhood??
The morning when you woke up, when it was warm?
Amuro, do not look back. Amuro...
A man must hide his tears, hide his tears.
Only look to tomorrow, to tomorrow... Forever...
Rage on! Rage on! Rage on! Gundam!
