Mobile Suit Gundam (1979–1980): Season 1, Episode 24 - Black Tri-Star - 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 Earth Federation has decided to
launch its attack on the special mining base...
...protected by M'Quve's forces.
It is the start of Operation Odessa.
General Revil has sent
all of his forces against M'Quve.
Although the White Base has
returned to the front lines,
it was at the cost of many lives,
including Lt. Matilda.
The Battle of Odessa
Please make the bare minimum of repairs!
The operation has already started!
Just have it ready so I can get going!
I know, I know! Don't yell!
Give him a break. He's a bit edgy
after the loss of Lieutenant Matilda.
Well, the same goes for me too!
Miss Matilda...
Amuro!
Uh... yes?
You mustn't be preoccupied, Amuro.
We've been ordered to launch. Let's go.
Yes.
Are you okay?
We're scouting the White Base's route...
...while also letting me get used to
this thing. You'll help me, won't you?
Roger that.
The G-Armour's taking off!
Step back now, Fraw Bow!
Amuro. I'm going to use these Gundam
power-up parts that Miss Matilda brought us.
I need to do some practice runs.
Go ahead, Miss Sayla.
Please do that.
I'm sorry, Mr. Bright.
Try to be more careful.
Yes, sir.
You don't have to do anything.
Just let me know if you receive an SOS.
Yes. I understand, sir.
Fried Chicken, deployment complete!
The Air Forces are running slow.
Someone do something about that!
We need them to send another Dobday!
Borscht team from M'Quve's forces,
you're too far out in front!
Oh, Spirit of Mash...
May you soar into space...
...and drift in eternal happiness.
I'm well aware these soldiers
were recommended by Lady Kycilia.
But how long shall they waste
time and energy like this?!
Gaia. Ortega. The operation has begun!
We know that already!
We'll have our revenge, no need to nag us.
This is not a revenge mission!
Take out the Trojan Horse that's
threatening us from behind. That's the plan!
Yes, we know!
Ortega! We're moving out.
We'll be approaching
the enemy soon, Miss Sayla.
Be careful.
Roger! Let me try the touch-and-go
one more time!
We're receiving a message through
code modulation circuit, alpha-gain.
It's General Revil.
What? From General Revil?!
'At 0630 hours, the White Base is to
attack M'Quve's base from the rear.'
Contact the G-Armour, Fraw Bow,
and tell them to return to the White Base...
...using cross cycle W.F.
Yes... sir. W.F.?
Mm-hm.
Can you really do it properly?
Of course I can. You just keep quiet now.
The enemy's front line is this close?
Did they notice us?
Please lower our altitude now, Miss
Sayla! They may have spotted us.
Roger!
Looks like a propeller-driven plane.
I'm not that certain,
but I don't think it's one of Zeon's planes.
I'll check.
I've got it...
A Dragonfly?
A small ferry plane used by the Federation.
Why did it just come out of a Zeon
base? And how come it wasn't shot down?
That's odd.
There's a message from the White Base.
'Return to ship immediately.'
What should we do, Amuro?
Aren't you curious, Miss Sayla?
Yes... Shall we go find out?
All right!
Come to think of it, Miss Matilda did say...
...the Zeons seemed to know
every move her Medea would make.
A spy? It's possible.
That's true.
But if the Medeas were shot down
because of a spy...
...we need to reveal the truth
before we begin the operation.
Mr. Bright! Enemy machines
approaching from one o'clock, sir!
What did you say?!
Headed straight for us?!
Yes. But they couldn't have
detected us at this altitude.
There's our proof that we have a spy.
Prepare for anti-air combat.
Guntank, Guncannon, prepare to sortie!
Hey, hold on a moment!
Isn't this ahead of the operation's schedule?
The enemy won't wait
until it's convenient for us!
Don't waste your ammo.
Yes, okay.
Look, Amuro. The Dragonfly has
landed on the Federation's Big Tray.
Miss Sayla! Wait for me here.
Identify yourself! Name and assignment!
Gundam of the White Base!
My name is Amuro Ray!
Gundam? This thing?
More importantly, I need you to tell
me where I can find the pilot...
...of the Dragonfly that just landed!
You mean Judock's ferry plane?
He's ordered you to betray your own
forces as soon as the operation begins.
M'Quve is a rather restless man, isn't he.
Since M'Quve knows you won't be attacking,
he has also ordered his main
forces to focus on General Revil.
I understand.
What is it?
Sir! We've caught a suspicious person.
Suspicious?
What do you want?
Can we talk alone?
Yes, as you wish.
You may all leave the room.
Sir!
Judock.
Depending on what's discussed in
that room, we might need to interrogate you.
This picture was taken by an
official military data-processing camera,
and can be used as evidence.
I see...
Are you trying to tell me that
we have a spy aboard the Big Tray?
Yes. If we enlarge the negative,
we should be able to verify the pilot.
You're suggesting that Judock is this spy?
Yes.
Then it's capital punishment.
For Judock...
...and for you, as well.
This is a battlefield.
No-one will ask questions
if a single person is killed. And besides...
I'm a general.
No-one will listen to a boy like you.
...I thought it was impossible,
but... It's you...
You...
Because of people like you...!
I wish I could say I'd spare your
life in exchange for the negative,
but I don't think so.
Amuro... Excellent work.
We have this whole conversation on
video. It's more than enough evidence.
No problem.
Please stand up!
You shall remain in the brig
until the operation is complete.
You want to say you had your reasons.
But... you're wrong!
Because of people like you...
...dozens of men have died for nothing!
Do you even realise that?!
Because of men like you...!
Son...
Let's leave the rest for the court martial.
Yes, sir.
The White Base seems to
be engaged in battle.
I suggest you return at once.
Sir!
Good luck!
Our forces shall begin the attack
from M'Quve's flank!
Big Tray, maximum speed!
G-Armour, prepare for take-off!
Amuro. We're taking off. Ready?
Roger!
Go!
The battle of Odessa has begun.
Both M'Quve's and Revil's forces...
...are headed straight for each
other, deploying their maximum resources.
And the White Base is no exception.
He's fast!
Hayato! The Guntank shan't stand a
chance against these guys!
Retreat, retreat!
Why you...!
Hands off this one, Dopps!
Just focus on downing the Trojan Horse!
Hurry up and bring in the Guntank!
Keep the mobile suits away!
Amuro! I hope you'll be back real soon!
G-Armour is returning, from one o'clock, sir!
Good! Prepare to launch the beam rifle!
Amuro! I can see you!
How's the battle going?
What?
The Guntank has returned.
A caterpillar tread was smashed...
So Mr. Kai's Guncannon is out there
alone. He's in danger!
Okay. Just stay calm and tell me
exactly what's happening in battle. Got it?
Sure!
She'll be okay, 'cause I'm with her!
I have you now!
Take that!
Ah, I'm out of shells.
Where's that white mobile suit?
The one that killed Mash!
It's the mobile suits
from last night, Amuro.
It'll be tough to defeat them
without the Gundam.
Want to convert?
White Base, can you wait for 20 seconds?
Mr. Bright! Amuro's asking for 20 seconds!
We have no choice. Tell Kai to return.
This is for Mash!
Retreat behind the mountain!
R-Roger!
Where does that bomber think it's going?
Separating G-Armour parts.
Pattern G!
Pattern G, acknowledged. Go ahead!
4..3...2...
1... 0.
The one that got Mash appeared
when that bomber came out. That means...
That mobile suit...
Miss Sayla!
I'll get you!
I'm coming in for a landing,
White Base. All clear?
Okay. Any damage?
A bit along the front.
Roger.
We'll replace it with Hayato's Core
Fighter. Please land on the port-side deck.
Aligning laser axis.
Once it's in the hangar, we'll remove the front
and attach Hayato's Core Fighter.
Roger! Docking release, set.
Please hurry.
Hayato! You'd better not crash it!
Does anyone ever take off
hoping to crash their fighter?
Launching!
The first line to be broken was
where M'Quve's forces were spread thin...
...counting on General Elran's betrayal.
Meanwhile, the two Dom mobile suits...
...were caught up with their battle against
Gundam, and unable to join the front line.
As a result, the Zeon forces lacked
enough strength to stop the Federation.
However, even at this critical
moment, M'Quve still had a last resort.
This is addressed to General Revil,
commander of Operation Odessa!
I am M'Quve.
If you do not withdraw your forces,
we are prepared to deploy hydrogen bombs.
Yes, this goes against the Antarctic
Treaty prohibiting the use of nuclear weapons.
But we don't want to lose, either.
It is said that General Revil
did not say a word.
He simply waved his hand
to indicate that his forces were to proceed.
Using those same tactics again?
Don't take us for fools!
O-Ortega... He's...
I-I'll get you...!
Amuro! Do you read me?
The enemy is using a hydrogen bomb!
A hydrogen bomb?! But that's...!
Yes, it is. The enemy is using
a weapon that must never be used.
We have 30 seconds
before the missile launch.
Forget about the mobile suit.
Our priority is to destroy the missile!
But...! There's no way I can do that!
I'm sending you some data.
The red area is the trigger mechanism.
You just need to cut
across the dotted line.
But can such a crude diagram...
really be of any use?
I'm not sure.
It was released when the Antarctic
Treaty was signed, so at least it's reliable.
Incoming!
If it's a real hydrogen bomb,
we'll all be destroyed!
We have to do it, Amuro!
If it's real?
That's right!
If it's real...
Okay. Hayato! Go!
Even Doms can perform stunts like yours!
What?! You mean Revil's forces
haven't stopped their advance?
Yes. They're very close to breaking
through our final line of defence, sir.
Those fools...
It's an enemy mobile suit
battling with a Dom.
So the Federation Forces have taken
drastic measures against us.
Then I'll give them what they asked for.
But sir, it's too late to...
This is how the game is played.
The Federation has blatantly
ignored our demands.
So they must now
face the consequences...
Launch the missile!
Hayato! Full power!
R-Roger that!
Can... I do it?!
M-Mash...
Ortega...
I-I'm sorry...
Operation Odessa has ended in
victory for the Federation Forces.
However, M'Quve has escaped...
...on the Zanzibar warship that had
brought the Black Tri-Stars to Earth.
This battle isn't the end of the war...
Think about it.
With the amount of mineral
resources we've sent,
Zeon can fight for another 10 years.
The young crew of the White Base...
...are introduced to General Revil
on friendly terms.
The Mad Angler squadron deploys
the amphibious mobile suit Gogg.
In order to crush the Trojan Horse
and destroy the Gundam...
The Gogg attacks with extraordinary
tactics as it threatens the White Base.
Yes, the commander of the Mad Angler
squadron is none other than...
Mobile Suit Gundam. Next episode...

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...
