Mobile Suit Gundam (1979–1980): Season 1, Episode 15 - Cucuruz Doan's Island - 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!
It is the year 0079 of the Universal Century.
A number of space cities
had been built around the Earth...
...and people lived their lives
in this second home to mankind.
The space city Side 3 proclaimed
itself the Principality of Zeon.
Seeking to impose its dictatorship
over all of mankind,
it waged a war against the Earth Federation.
After evading a Zeon attack,
the White Base escaped from
the space city Side 7...
...and landed on Earth.
And now...
Sayla's Agony
Still unable to contact Federation HQ,
the White Base heads west
across Central Asia.
The young crew is exhausted.
All they can do is carry out
their assigned duties.
Still can't find it?
You should sleep more.
Amuro, you are a pilot, you know.
Can't see anything.
It's confirmed by astronomical observations.
We're here at the appointed place,
at the appointed time,
yet there's no word from General Revil?
We left the communication circuit open...
They wouldn't send it by radio anyway,
considering we're in Zeon territory.
So, someone's going to walk here...?
To the middle of this desert?
Stop making jokes, Kai.
We're all tired at this hour.
Sayla, make sure everyone continues
to monitor for aircraft.
Yes, sir.
Thanks for your hard work.
Thanks for your hard work.
No, thank you all. Here's some breakfast.
No, thank you all. Here's some breakfast.
Please take this around to everyone.
We're all on the lookout.
It's my fault for not noticing, but we're
almost out of salt. Can we get more?
Salt? You mean, salt?
Yes.
There's something moving at 10 o'clock.
Looks like an off-road cruiser.
Please confirm on the screen.
Maximum magnification.
28 kilometres ahead.
Ready the port-side machine guns!
The White Base will be landing.
Hey! Steady now...
Do butterflies fly in the desert?
Butterflies in the desert...?
Only the thorns of a cactus
fly in the desert.
He was sent by General Revil!
All right. I'll take over driving.
Can he speak?
Sunmalo gave him some
emergency first aid, but...
I am Bright Noa,
responsible for the White Base.
Odessa Day is scheduled for 5 days from now.
You're ordered to bring the White
Base across the Caspian Sea by then.
Odessa Day?
What's that?
It's when we'll start an offensive against the
main forces of M'Quve, Kycilia's subordinate.
M'Quve?!
The mines held by M'Quve are considered...
...a strategic asset that shall
determine the outcome of the war.
We'll attack them on Odessa Day.
Are you saying the White Base
shall take part in the offensive?
We're not part of the military.
Right, Mr. Bright?
He's suffered too much blood loss.
So, the White Base is being incorporated
into the regular forces.
What is it?
It's about that salt shortage.
Why haven't you noticed until now?
There was a direct hit on the stores
in the fighting the other day.
Our salt supplies were destroyed then.
Apparently, Zeon's strongest forces
are ahead of us.
It's doubtful we can obtain salt.
The lack of salt shall affect combat performance.
What should we do?
Amuro, aren't you finished yet?
It won't be done for some time.
How could I be finished?
It's still warm, so eat soon, okay?
Did we make contact with General Revil?
Yes. Now they're saying we have no salt.
Eat, Amuro! Eat, Amuro!
Salt? You mean the edible kind?
Yes. But you'll die if you don't enough?
I suppose...
Promise you'll eat.
Okay.
Amuro! Aren't you finished yet?
Almost done.
There! A saline lake,
along the old Silk Road.
A saline lake?
Yes. It's a lake that contains salt water.
If we go there, we may find some salt.
R-Really?
Operator. Can we head toward the lake?
As long as we don't run into M'Quve,
we shan't have any problem with any route.
Let's just assume there'll be less
resistance if we go around the lake.
That's so unlike you, Bright.
Don't laugh.
If our information is correct,
we should see the Trojan Horse soon.
Yes.
We should also contact Lord M'Quve.
This is Lady Kycilia's jurisdiction after all.
Open a line to Captain M'Quve.
Yes, sir!
Captain M'Quve is not here at the moment.
He instructed me to provide you
with any necessary information.
I am Ensign Uragang.
Well-prepared as always.
I will contact you when I need to.
My regards to the captain.
Good luck.
Thank you.
Hear that, Hamon?
He certainly is well-prepared.
Who knows?
I hear that one must be cautious
around Lord M'Quve.
I'm just a guerilla soldier.
I'll be headed back to space
once I avenge Lord Garma's death.
Well then, shall we spread our net around here?
Yes.
A charming sound, isn't it?
Yes. Is it a precious item?
Northern Sung Dynasty.
What?
What is it?
What?
What is it?
I've informed Ramba Ral
as per your instructions, sir.
I see.
Captain M'Quve.
What?
Captain M'Quve.
What?
We have new information from intelligence.
The ship thought to be the Trojan
Horse has changed course.
How convenient.
They're moving away from my mines.
Wait a minute...
Uragang, inform Ramba Ral of this.
The sooner he gets rid of the Trojan Horse,
the less he'll hang around here.
No matter what happens, we don't
want Admiral Dozle to know...
...the truth about the mines I discovered.
Yes, sir.
M'Quve's underlings are quite dutiful...
...telling us the Trojan Horse
has taken a detour to avoid us.
Hmm... I don't know.
What do you think Lord M'Quve is up to?
You worry too much, Hamon.
Hey! The lake's gone!
Disappeared?!
Hey! The lake's gone!
It does looks like there was a lake here, but...
B-But this is...
Check the map! Is there no mistake?
Sir, there is no error.
But that doesn't make any sense!
Oh, no...
Mr. Tamura...
Just because I ran out of salt,
I've made White Base wander off-course!
The Zeons must have seen us by now!
Marker. Is there any other data on this lake?
I'll do a search.
Lob Lake... a salt lake.
Moves east to west like a
pendulum every 500 years.
It moves?!
How old is the map in our data?
Must be from before the war.
There haven't been any map-making
satellites since the war began.
Bright!
All right. Let's move. We'll pursue that lake.
Something's approaching!
Direction is 2 o'clock.
One vehicle, on the surface.
However, the type is unknown.
You can't tell what it is?
Can't you identify it from the
speed, altitude, or mass?
Just one enemy vessel?
It's too fast to be a Magella Attack.
Too small for a Gaw.
Amuro, can you go out?
It's hard to fight without knowing the enemy.
I don't know if this is a job for the Gundam.
I'm launching the White Base!
All hands, level 1 battle stations!
Gundam, Guncannon,
and Guntank on stand-by!
We'll launch when we know a bit more.
Yes, sir!
Very well. Let's go, everyone.
We're at level 1 battle stations.
Okay!
Are Ramba Ral, Acous,
and Cozun in the field yet?
Yes. Please take a look. Are Ramba
Ral, Acous, and Cozun in the field yet?
Yes. Please take a look.
Our Gallop will make a broadside
attack on the enemy ship.
It. Ral and the two Zakus
shall destroy it, like so.
Good.
The Gundam is...?!
Who's in the Gundam, Mr. Job?!
Miss Sayla! She said she had special orders!
Are you saying she doesn't?
Of course there aren't any special orders!
Miss Sayla, please get out of the Gundam!
Catapult engaged!
I'm launching!
I thought I figured this out
through the simulations, but...
I didn't think the G force would be this bad.
Port-side, return fire!
Prepare beam cannons!
Guncannon, Guntank!
Cover the Gundam!
Begin evasive manoeuvres,
but don't stop firing!
Yes, ma'am!
He'll go into action any moment now.
Until then, keep the enemy engaged!
No matter what, I have to make
contact with a Zeon soldier.
An enemy?
A-A Zaku from the other side!
I'm aiming properly, but... no hits!
Never thought targeting would be so hard!
That pilot seems to be inexperienced.
Sorry, but I'm taking you out!
From the right!
Vulcans!
Miss Sayla! Get up! Retreat!
If necessary, I'll transfer to the Gundam!
She probably has the radio off.
A mobile suit for long-range support?
Looks tough, but...
Go!
Did I get him?!
Miss Sayla!
We haven't confirmed the hit yet!
Get back now!
Wh-Where's the pilot?!
A mobile suit isn't such an easy opponent.
Miss Sayla, please stand back!
If the sand hadn't acted as a cushion,
even this Gouf mobile suit
would have been finished!
He's not giving me a chance to aim!
Where is he?!
I have to get him into grappling range!
C-Cozun! Don't be a fool! Get back!
No need to worry, Lieutenant Ral.
I'll capture this mobile suit.
The auto-balancer doesn't work!
Lieutenant Ral, just watch!
I'll plunder this mobile suit!
The main camera!
The cameras are being crushed!
Lieutenant, could you cut one of its
power pipes with your heat rod?
We'll take this one back to base.
If that new mobile suit
moves near the Gundam,
there's no way we can save it!
Y-Yes!
But just keeping up with it...
...is taking everything I have!
There he is!
I've split up the Zakus too much!
Are you all right, Cozun?!
I'll do my best to immobilise it on my own!
Acous! Can't you get past the
red one and over to Cozun?!
Miss Sayla! Open the radio circuit!
You can't just use brute force!
Strength isn't enough!
Oh no! I'm out of ammo!
O-Oh no!
Acous! Acous!
Cozun, get back! Acous has been hit!
Acous?!
Has Acous been... killed?!
Get away from there!
Yes, sir!
Get away from there!
Yes, sir!
Wh-What's going on?!
L-Lieutenant Ral!
Curse you!
Cozun! Cozun! Answer me! Cozun!
I-Is he dead?
Hamon! Can you hear me?!
Bring in the Gallop! Let's rendezvous!
Clamp, did you uncover the Gouf?
We'll contact it in 50 seconds.
It looks like Acous and Cozun were killed.
We'll have to retreat.
But... that's so frustrating, Miss Hamon.
Why?
We have that new Zanzibar warship.
Why couldn't we...
How can we deploy something
that's still being tested?
And anyway, Admiral Dozle
thinks that Ramba Ral...
...has enough fighting strength to defeat
the Trojan Horse and the mobile suits.
And yet... I am frustrated.
Without Lord M'Quve's cooperation,
we'll face some tough battles.
It's him!
I expect you treat prisoners
according to the Antarctic Treaty?
Of course.
However, you shan't be fed well.
After all, we're barely keeping ourselves fed.
Same with us.
The higher-ups don't give a second thought
to us on the front line.
Well, well. The warrior woman returns.
Miss Sayla!
Miss Sayla!
I'll see you on the bridge later.
Yes.
You wanted to prove that a woman
can fight as well as a man?
Was that your only reason?
Yes.
Miss Sayla, someone as clever as you...
In any case, we must set an
example for the others.
Three days solitary confinement.
All right?
That's fine with me.
Ryu, if you please.
Miss Sayla...
Meal for the prisoner?
Yes.
The two of you are not enough!
I'll do it, Fraw Bow.
Thank you.
Miss Sayla...
Do you know what's happened to Char?
Char? You mean...
The Red Comet.
Won't you please tell me?
Char Aznable?
He lost his position after he
failed to protect Garma.
I heard he went back home.
I see. Thank you.
What were you talking about?
How much it would cost to buy me off.
It's only three days, so please be patient.
Don't worry about me, Mr. Ryu.
Just call for me if you need anything.
Thanks, Fraw Bow.
My big brother...
Char is my big brother...
I'm sure of it.
I'm so glad he's well.
There! A lake!
Wow! It's so beautiful!
Well! Who would've thought
it would move so far?
Now we can have our salt!
Cozun, the prisoner, attempts to escape
with the Federation's top secrets.
At the same time, the unrelenting
power of the Gouf's heat rod...
...burns away at the Guncannon's arm.
Can Amuro rescue Kai?
Mobile Suit Gundam. Next episode...
Amuro Deserts.
Will you be able to survive??
Next episode
Amuro Deserts
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!
You must run forth!
If you are still burning
with furious rage...
...You must fight the towering foe!
