Mobile Suit Gundam (1979–1980): Season 1, Episode 28 - Across the Atlantic Ocean - 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 could be said that the tragic incident had
been caused by her own inexperience.

However, the young life lost
on the battlefield...

...was not regarded as a small misfortune.

No-one could hope to comfort
the grief-stricken Kai Shiden.

The White Base was now above
the South American continent,

on its way to the Jaburo
Federation Forces Headquarters.

Tragedy in Jaburo

There's no mistaking it.
The Trojan Horse is headed for Jaburo.

Just as our spy reported. Don't lose them.

Yes sir!

Wow!

Butterfly! Butterfly! Butterfly!

Butter...fly! Butterfly!

They're so beautiful...

Amazing!

So, we've finally made it
to the Federation Forces' dock.

Don't like it?

I'm fine.

Attention all units!
We're entering Jaburo.

Keep watching for any enemy aircraft.

He said we're entering Jaburo,
but I don't see anything.

Hey. Look!

The White Base has landed safely, sir.

The Trojan Horse's signal disappeared!

That means we've finally located
the biggest entrance to Jaburo.

Conduct a thorough search of the
area where the Trojan Horse disappeared.

We'll crush the ship and the Jaburo base!

The damage is quite extensive.
Worse than what they reported.

Well, the White Base has certainly
seen a lot of heavy combat...

Right! Commence diagnostics!

Commence diagnostic procedures!

First and second teams,
prepare for diagnostics!

You must be Lieutenant Woody...

I'm Bright Noa,
chief officer of the White Base.

Well done.

Is there a young man named Amuro Ray?

Yes, sir. Amuro.

Yes?

He's Amuro?!

Yes, sir.

I never expected such a young man.

What did you want, sir?

You're the pilot of the Gundam?

Yes, sir.

Matilda told me a lot about you, but...

Miss Matilda told you...?

And what is it?

They called it Zock. Mobile Suit Zock.

Can we use it?

It's amphibious, with a jumping
capability several times that of a Zaku.

Says who?

I was told by the engineers
at North America's California Base.

I see.

So that's it there.

I hope that new mobile suit
isn't just for show.

As soon as the reinforcements arrive
from the NA California Base,

we'll send the second attack group.

You'll go as an advance party, so carry out
your mission to the best of your abilities.

Thank you very much.

I never expected a physical
examination to be such a chore.

You said it.

But Amuro, your exam was especially
long. Was there something wrong?

No way. They were all busy checking
brain waves and taking x-rays and so on...

Same with you, right?

Mr. Kai!

They told me I'm very healthy
and mentally sound.

This medical facility is too perfect.
It has absolutely everything imaginable.

There's nothing wrong with us!

Don't want to! No!

Katz, Letz, please keep it down!

What's wrong with these bodies? Nothing!

Yes, that's right, that's right!

Looks like you don't have any cavities.

Sir.

Thanks.

Lieutenant Woody.

Oh, Amuro.

Aren't you going to get some rest, sir?

Supervision is a thankless job.

Can I do anything to help out?

As long as you're in Jaburo,
you may relax and leave it all to us.

I-I'm sorry, sir...

Lieutenant. Did you know Miss Matilda well?

After Operation Odessa was over...
we planned to be married.

You were to be married?

We expected that the White Base
would arrive at Jaburo in time...

...So Matilda had hoped to have
the White Base crew attend our wedding.

I-Is that so...

I had no idea...

...I'm sorry, Lieutenant Woody.

If I'd only known how to fight
better using the Gundam,

then Miss Matilda wouldn't have died.

I'm so sorry.

Don't be so conceited, Amuro!

What?

The Gundam alone can't win the war,
nor could it have saved Matilda.

It's not that simple.

B-But...

If a pilot fights to the best of his
abilities in every battle that he's in,

and doesn't do anything
that he'd later regret... that's enough.

Yes, sir.

I love the White Base because I know
Matilda cared so much about this ship.

That's why I'm doing everything I
can to get it fully repaired.

Yes, sir.

We're both required by duty to do our best.

I found it. The main entrance to Jaburo.

If I hadn't got a metallic reaction,
l would have missed it.

That means they'd never
launch an attack here.

They wouldn't want anyone
to see through the camouflage.

The bottom line is, the White Base
corps shall continue their mission as before.

Yes, sir.

Now, you shall be assigned
to the Tianem fleet,

but official notification will only be given
shortly before the operation commences.

Yes, sir. What should we do in the meantime?

Rest up in the provided quarters.

Also, you will not be penalised.

Miss Mirai, please consider it as
our returning the favour to your father.

My father?

To this day, we regret the Federation's
loss of such a valuable politician...

If your father were alive today,
you wouldn't have had to emigrate to Side 7.

Please, sir, I would rather not discuss it.

The alarm!

Enemy approaching hatches 231 and
243 of the South Block!

Take level 2 battle stations!

Enemy patrols approaching again?

Well, you may return to your quarters.

Take precautionary measures, just in case.

Yes, sir!

Don't worry about it, Commander.

But I must apologise for bringing a force
that's too small for a first-wave attack.

It's no problem. How long until
we reach Jaburo, Commander?

We'll arrive in less than an hour.

Excellent.

Should we attack?

No, that'd reveal our location. Hold off.

Two are Goggs, for underwater combat.

The other one isn't in the computer.

Then it must be a new model of mobile suit.

Attention all units in Jaburo's South Block!

Go to level 2 battle stations!

I'm going ahead.

Okay!

Do it.

Right.

Where are you going?

The White Base!

Everyone's taking level 2 battle
stations, so where else shall we go?

The others are coming as well.

Yes. That makes sense.

How many went up?

I'm not sure, but there were at least four.

Only one is authentic.

The others are sent up as camouflage.

They're coming!
Switch to level 1 battle stations!

Flare signal confirmed at bearing 128.

Fire missiles!

Lieutenant! We've been ordered
to take level 1 battle stations!

I'm getting the crew aboard the White Base!

All right! Go ahead.

We've finished repairs on the mobile suits
but the White Base itself is not operational.

Fraw Bow, Mirai! Contact General HQ
and gather intelligence as quickly as you can!

We can't make a move until
we know what's going on out there!

Yes, this is White Base, do you read me?

General HQ, how is the enemy deployed?

Can we launch?

Sir! We can guard the entrance to Jaburo...

We'll send Amuro and Sayla in the G-Bull.

Roger that! Send out Kai and Hayato
in the Guncannon and Guntank! Hurry!

I can't believe those Zeons followed
us here, out in the middle of nowhere!

Miharu. I won't mope about any longer.

I'll crush the Zeons totally, so no-one
like you shall suffer any more!

Guntank, Hayato, rolling out!

Amuro! Ready?

Go ahead!

G-Bull, Sayla and Amuro, launching!

Miss Sayla! Let's stay close to
Jaburo's entranceway.

The enemy will try to force their way in.

Roger that.

Are those... Gundams?

No. Those are GM's.
They're the mass-produced versions.

First wave of Zakus,
Goufs and Doms going in.

Captain Char,
please launch your Z'Gok team last.

Roger, Lt. Commander.

Li Hwan! Jittal! Let's go!

Stay close to me.

Yes, sir!

We've already lost Li Hwan!
Jaburo is well prepared.

How many mobile suits will land safely?

No! J-Jittal, too?!

It's vital that I join up
with the advance force.

About 28 mobile suits have landed.

That's quite a large force.

Yes. But I believe it's still too
small to fight against all of Jaburo.

Seems their target is A Block
where the spaceship dock is located.

The White Base must have been followed.

I agree.

Perhaps the White Base shall always
be a trouble-maker to the Federation Forces.

We still haven't heard anything
at all from General HQ, sir.

Switch all screens over
to the observation cameras!

We can't launch an attack like this.

General HQ shall hear from me later!

What a situation...

If we carelessly go outside, that will
give away the location of Jaburo's entrance.

At this rate...

We have no idea what the enemy is doing,
so there's no way for us to fight them.

If we moved out and found the enemy
in front of us, we'd be toast.

I can't even take revenge for Miharu?!

The Zeons are coming.

Hmm? There they are.

Boraskyniv. How are things proceeding?

Sir! We just finished setting the
explosives. Should we break in now?

Not yet. Are we breaking in from the front?

Yes, sir.

Any other entrances?

There's a smaller entrance located
about 500 meters upstream.

Hmm... We'll attack both at the same time.

The two Goggs shall breach this entrance.

I'll break through the one upstream
with Boraskyniv. Follow me!

They're here!

Th-They're here! It's the Zeons!

They allowed the Zeons to break through?!

How could they...?!

Maintenance crew, join the defence forces!

Sir!

Matilda sacrificed her life
to protect the White Base...

There's no way that I'll let it be destroyed.

I won't let you close in on the White Base!

Don't underestimate me!

One Gogg has just been destroyed!
Kai took it out!

Miss Sayla! The G-Bull must turn back!

What?

The enemy broke through another entrance.

Let's leave the rest to Mr. Kai and Hayato.

Roger that!

It seems many have broken through, Amuro.

Zeon scum!

That's our White Base you're attacking!

Fraw Bow! Instruct the G-Bull
to change to the Gundam immediately!

Enemy mobile suits are advancing quickly!

Y-Yes, sir!

G-Bull! G-Bull! Convert to Gundam!

Roger! What mobile suits are
invading? Are they Zakus? Or Goufs?

I don't know!

B Deck! Please send out G-Armour's B-Parts.

The enemy...?

A hovercraft is no use here! Please fall back!

What? That's Lieutenant Woody!

Lieutenant! Don't do it!
F-Fall back now, please!

A red mobile suit?

It's not a Zaku.
But could the red mobile suit mean...

...that Char's in it?!

A GM!

Stop! Don't get too close to that mobile suit!

It's so fast!

There's no mistake... It's him...
He's come back to fight us.

I'm sure of it... That's Char!

Is it you, Char?!

You have improved your skills
even further, Gundam!

He's good.

You Zeons! Leave Jaburo!

Lieutenant Woody! You can't!

You must be joking!

Lieutenant!

Lieutenant Woody...!

Char! Hold it!

The main camera has been damaged!

Boraskyniv! Do you read me?!
I need some backup now!

Don't get in my way. I'm taking out Char!

There!

There's no mistake...

That mobile suit...
I'm certain it was Char.

So Char has pursued us
all the way to Jaburo...

Amuro! Do you read me? Are you all right?

I'm okay.

Unfortunately, I let one mobile suit escape.

You did very well.
We destroyed most of the enemy force.

But the base is really damaged.

So it must be...

Lieutenant Woody was a casualty...?

Yes, sir.

His love for the White Base must
have outstripped even our own...

That's how it seemed to me.

Yes, I understand.

Men can feel
so strongly sometimes.

Is that true?

Uh...

Oh... And Char's back.

Char? Did you see him?

No. I only saw a red mobile suit,

but I'm positive that it was
Char, the Red Comet.

Who would ever call Katz, Letz and
Kikka 'nothing but a nuisance'?

And who will find the enemy's time
bombs in time to save Jaburo?!

Meanwhile, Char and Sayla meet...
for the second time.

A Wish of War Orphans

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...
