Godzilla, King of the Monsters! Page #3

were being interrogated

by the officials...

Tomo and I went out

among the natives.

[ Japanese ]

Hey, Tomo, we make him mad?

He's frightened.

He's terribly frightened.

He must've seen something.

He claimed he saw a monster,

a horrible monster.

If he saw a monster,

he's had too much sake.

No, no, Mr. Martin.

These island people are very superstitious.

Well, let's see what else

we can find out.

[ Steve Narrating ]

It was decided that we'd spend the night...

and it gave me an opportunity

to witness a rare ceremony...

one that was all but forgotten.

[ Native ]

The island people are beset

by many dangers, Steve -

some real, some imagined.

This ceremony is dedicated

to one such danger.

There's a legend

among the island people...

that somewhere off their shores

there exists a monster...

too terrible

for a mortal to conceive.

Many centuries ago, they used

to send a young girl out on a raft...

each year as a sacrifice.

[ Continues ]

What's the name of this monster?

[ Man ]

Godzilla. Godzilla!

[ Japanese ]

Did you hear that? Godzilla.

They believe their, uh, Godzilla...

is responsible

for all these ship disasters?

They're certain of it.

[ Japanese ]

[ Boy Shouting In Japanese ]

[ Shouts ]

[ Creature Bellowing ]

[ Thunderous Pounding ]

[ All Shouting ]

[ Steve Narrating ]

It was more than wind, rain, and lightning.

Much more.

I wasn't just sure what it was.

No one was sure.

No one except the natives,

and they were positive.

They said it was Godzilla.

The next morning, the officials brought

some of the islanders back to Tokyo...

to make a direct report.

[ Chattering In Japanese ]

[ Japanese ]

Each of the natives of Odo Island...

told his own story

of the sudden turbulence...

and had his own ideas

of its cause.

They were all of the opinion

that the destruction was brought about...

by a living creature.

[ Japanese Continues ]

[ Japanese ]

I have not been

to the island myself...

but the world today is filled

with many mysteries.

In the Himalayas, footprints

of snowmen have been found.

No one knows

anything about them...

so there's no one

who can explain

a phenomenon

at the top of the world.

Is it not possible that some other

unexplainable phenomenon....

might exist at the bottom

of the ocean?

A research party should be

organized to make...

a scientific survey of Odo Island.

[ People Applauding ]

I'm going to catch Dr. Yamane.

I'll see you later.

It seems to me there are still

forces left in this world...

that none of us can understand.
