Mobile Suit Gundam (1979–1980): Season 1, Episode 23 - Matilda's Rescue - 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 Federation sent a Medea squadron
to rescue the heavily damaged White Base,
but the squadron was attacked
by Goufs and Dodai bombers.
Amuro and the others hurried to assist.
With the help of the G-Parts
designed to power-up the Gundam...
...they succeeded in defeating the enemy.
Black Tri-Star
This is a poor jest.
This plan is absolutely ridiculous!
Have you forgotten how many precious
resources M'Quve...
...has sent us from under
the Earth Federation's siege?
Have you forgotten this?!
Also, the practical application
of mobile armour...
Excuse me. But the authority
of the military would be ruined.
A man's honour?! Military authority?!
These things can be sacrificed
for Zeon victory!
We'll save your honour once we win this war.
Deliver the mobile suits for close
combat on Earth to Commander Char.
But, Your Highness, we can't do it right away.
Of course not!
But, Your Highness, we can't do it right away.
Of course not!
Just get them to Char before
he joins the Mad Angler squadron.
Also, I'm sure there are heavy
mobile suits allocated to other units...
...that can be used for combat on Earth.
We should consider
sending those over too.
Yes, ma'am!
Have you sent Doms to the Tri-Stars?
Yes. They should have already left
satellite orbit to rendezvous with M'Quve.
Good. Keep an eye on the situation
and respond accordingly.
As the occupier of the Moon,
Kycilia could not join
the battle on Earth in person.
The fighting was unsettled on all fronts.
The best she could do
was to assist M'Quve,
by sending her own brave warriors
known as 'Zeon's Tri-Stars'.
Good morning.
What? G-Good morning, Lt. Matilda!
What are these?
Components for the Gundam's power-up parts.
I'll have to do the repairs myself,
so I was organizing them.
That's impressive.
Where are you going?
Up to the bridge.
I'll show you the way.
No, that's fine.
I'm fairly resourceful! I know a shortcut.
All right.
Oh. Good morning!
Good morning.
Amuro!
What's the big idea?!
You promised me,
you'd fix the air conditioner in
my room once you finished breakfast.
Oh really?
Hmph!
Hmph! Hmph! Hmph!
Stop it!
That Miss Matilda. She's just my type.
She's elegant. And she's so nice, too.
I'd be a happy man
if I had a girlfriend like Miss Matilda.
Idle hands make mischief.
What?
Ah! Good morning! L-Lieutenant!
Good luck finding an elegant girlfriend.
L-Lieutenant!
Now that I've made a total fool of myself...
...I'd like to ask for permission to
take a picture of you and myself!
No problem, as long as we do it now.
Yes! I'm honoured!
Would you guys give me a break?!
This only gives me 12 copies per photo!
Come on, Kai!
Let me in, too!
Okay, I'm taking the picture!
There!
Mr. Bright. I've brought Lt. Matilda to you.
Thank you.
No. Please don't get up.
I'm terribly sorry, Lieutenant.
You look better than I thought you would.
Excuse me.
Woo-Hoo!
Our forces are progressing too slowly,
especially since I want to move
up Operation Odessa.
Elran. Tell them to hurry and rendezvous.
Yes, sir! However...
'However'? In the military,
there is only action. Isn't that right?
Sir!
General Revil.
An Air Force patrol team has sent us
a report they caught.
A Zeon Zanzibar warship
has come down to Earth?
Our Big Tray has already
confirmed that information.
No. Look at what it says after that.
The Black Tri-Stars were dispatched
with their new mobile suits.
They're the ones who captured me
in the Battle of Loum.
They're very tough.
We'll have to begin Odessa Day
earlier than we had anticipated. Right, Elran?
What?! Yes, I'll inform
all units at once!
You're looking a little pale.
Judock.
You'd better not be spying for both sides.
Revil is quite aware that the Black
Tri-Stars have landed in a Zanzibar.
B-But that just can't be.
Tell M'Quve that Operation Odessa
shall be commencing soon.
Will we be able to finish
ahead of schedule, Colonel?
Yes, that's no problem.
Amuro. The Gundam's power-up parts.
Right!
Miss Matilda.
Yes?
Why did you join the Supply Corps?
Let's see...
Amid all the destruction of war...
...it enables me to create things.
Create things?
While wars only bring destruction,
I felt that men need
more than that to go on living.
And we're clean now.
Miss Matilda.
I believe...
I believe that you're a strong
woman, Miss Matilda.
How cheeky.
I-I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
Yes! Leave them to us!
We're a whole different class than Char.
Now, show us the Trojan Horse
and this so-called white mobile suit.
Well, whatever...
Ortega, Mash! Let's go!
Yes!
We're getting close.
No metallic reaction detected...
We're jumping to the next mountain!
What is it?!
Enemy spotted.
3 mobile suits approaching from 2 o'clock.
Prepare to intercept. Mirai, take charge.
Yes, sir!
It's the enemy!
The enemy's approaching!
All right! All clear!
Move Medea No. 3 out of
the White Base's path!
I'm glad the controls are up here now.
But can I really operate this by myself?
Hey, Hayato! Can you manage it?
If you can work yours by yourself,
Mr. Kai, then I'll be fine too.
They're past our second surveillance net.
They're moving quickly.
Is the Gundam ready to go yet?
That's the problem...
They're still checking the G-Armour.
I was just told they need me down there!
By whom?!
Engineering Colonel Seki.
He wants me to operate the G-Fighter.
What?! Can't Job John do it?
He's a pilot too.
I have experience with mobile suits.
I see, Let's have Fraw Bow
take over your position for now.
Miss Mirai!
The engine's just been overhauled.
Don't forget to do a trial run.
Understood!
Okay, Fraw Bow. Please take over.
I'm off.
The computer takes care of the connection,
so the pilot doesn't have to worry about it.
But what if the computer is damaged?
If the laser sensors are synchronised,
it's possible to dock manually.
But you'll stall if your speed
is under 600 km/h.
Where's the G-Fighter pilot?
She's here!
Hurry!
Ah, yes!
This isn't the G-Fighter.
I believe it's the G-Armour.
Can I handle this one?
For someone who's piloted the Gundam,
it'll be a piece of cake.
Just rely on the machinery.
I'll be watching you from the bridge.
Yes, ma'am. See you later.
Miss Sayla! Ready?
I'm still not finished checking. Hold on.
These guys are fast!
The engine output won't increase.
Even if we manage to take off...
Should we have a specialist check it out?
Yes, ma'am!
Fraw Bow! Please ask Lieutenant
Matilda and Colonel Seki to come here!
What's wrong, White Base?
Why haven't you taken off?
The main engine output won't increase.
What? Colonel!
Fraw Bow! How are Amuro and Sayla
doing with the G-Armour?!
It looks like Sayla's having trouble with it.
She can't figure out
the docking process with Gundam!
No time. Tell her to leave it to
Amuro, and just take off...
Ah...
It's fine. Please allow the G-Armour to take off.
Yes... G-Armour. Amuro and Sayla, launch.
Right! Amuro, Miss Sayla, please take off!
These are for docking...
First, then second...
Miss Sayla! We're going!
Okay! Go ahead!
Engines at maximum! Align take-off axis!
Ready?!
Okay!
To my left?!
Got you!
Incoming!
Miss Sayla! Left!
What?
Miss Sayla!
In G-Armour mode, your cockpit
has better control of the aircraft!
You can do it!
Is the infra-red monitor ready?
I'll be firing the G-Armour's main cannons!
Where's the enemy?
They're behind us! Turn us around!
Roger!
You have to pull it harder!
Step on the pedal with all your might!
Too late.
This is tricky.
It's bigger, so it's much harder to turn...
But the G-Armour's beam cannon power
lasts three times longer...
...than the Gundam's. We've got to...
Rotate left, 90 degrees!
I'm aiming the beam cannons.
R-Roger!
Proceed at a 40 degree angle!
Okay. Take this!
I'll swat you, you pesky fly!
I've never seen that one before.
It's not in the Trojan Horse's data, either.
It's a fighter-bomber,
but I've never seen that silhouette before.
Firing rear missiles,
angle minus 4 degrees!
N-Not bad, you mysterious fighter!
There's no problem with
the synchro-motor in itself? That's odd.
No problem here either.
Check it again.
The G-Armour's having trouble in combat.
Both Guncannon and Guntank
are being forced back!
Lieutenant Matilda!
It'll be fine. We can count on Colonel Seki.
Fraw Bow.
Please have my Medea ready
for take-off at any time.
Ma'am!
We may be just a bit too late.
And what makes you think that?
No particular reason. I somehow think so.
What is it?
Nothing, ma'am.
You seem to be a chronic worrier.
I suppose I am.
People do tell me that.
Amuro. Sayla. Kai. Hayato.
Hang in there!
There it is!
I'm such a useless blockhead!
I can't even slow the enemy down.
He's tough!
Miss Sayla!
I'm okay! Where are they?!
They've advanced very far now.
Please hide us behind the mountain!
You're converting to the Gundam?
Yes!
Will I be able to dock the parts?
I know you can, Miss Sayla.
That's what you've always
said to me, Miss Sayla.
So you're returning the favour?
Then I'll give it a try, Amuro.
Pattern G automatic set.
If there's any problem, I shall...
No, it'll be just fine! We'll do it!
4..3...2...
1... 0.
Is everything okay, Miss Sayla?
Yes, the computer did it all for me.
Now, Amuro! Hurry back to the White Base!
Roger!
What? There's a Medea!
It's not Miss Matilda's Medea, is it?
The pressure has increased
in No. 2 and No. 3.
The rest are no good. In fact,
the pressure seems to be decreasing.
We figured out the problem!
Just give us three minutes!
Please finish it in two minutes!
Fire main cannons!
Fire front missiles horizontally!
Mobile suits?
Found you! I'm putting an end to this!
He dodged my shot!
The vulcans have no effect?!
Oh no! They've reached the White Base!
This Federation mobile suit!
It's not as great as they say!
We're this close to making
the White Base survive this.
I can't sit around and watch it be destroyed.
Take off!
What?
Take off!
Yes, ma'am!
Oh no! That mobile suit is planning
to destroy the White Base first!
That pilot is no regular guy.
Ortega! Mash!
We're going to pull a Jet Stream Attack
on that mobile suit!
He's quicker than I thought. Ready?
Yes!
Is he... coming at me?!
It's working! Let's do the Jet
Stream Attack one more time!
Hmm? A Medea? But who's on board?
They're coming...!
Oh no!
He used me as a springboard?!
Drive that Dom into the ground!
Why you...! We almost had that mobile suit!
I-I couldn't do anything to help!
Mash's Dom... destroyed...
That mobile suit slipped
past our Jet Stream Attack...
Unbelievable!
No weapons left.
We need to rethink our tactics, too.
We have good news.
The White Base repulsed
Zeon's Black Tri-Stars.
It's back on the front lines.
I-Is that so? Congratulations.
Well, how about the White Base.
It's really proven itself.
The crew... How dare they?!
Where do they find their strength?!
Elran.
Sir?
Operation Odessa,
the attack on M'Quve's base.
It begins at 0600 hours today.
To express our sorrow...
...for the fallen members of
Matilda's Medea transport squadron.
All hands! Salute!
This is all because of my inexperience.
I'm so sorry, Miss Matilda.
Miss Matilda...
Miss Matilda...
Miss Matilda...
Miss Matilda...
Miss Matilda...
Miss Matilda!!
Miss Matilda!!
Before Operation Odessa begins...
...the traitors are discovered and arrested,
leading the Earth Federation to victory.
But the two surviving Black Tri-Star
Doms attack the Gundam relentlessly,
determined to avenge their fallen comrade.

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!
