[00:02] ---
    What?! This wasn't part of the plan!
[00:06] ---
    I thought they promised that there
    would be no warships in this area!
[00:10] ---
    Musai closing in!
[00:12] ---
    Order them to stop.
[00:14] ---
    We've found an enemy ship in a
    sector where there should be none.
[00:18] ---
    There are two ways to deal with it:
[00:20] ---
    Capture it, or destroy it.
[00:24] ---
    Don't you agree, Capt. Dren?
[00:27] ---
    Attention, Federation vessel! Stop your ship!
[00:31] ---
    This is the Falmer,*
    carrying Lt. Cdr. Char Aznable!
[00:35] ---
    Resistance is futile! Stop your ship!
[00:39] ---
    Did he say Char?
[00:41] ---
    He destroyed five battleships
    at Loum! They call him--
[00:44] ---
    The Red Comet...
[00:46] ---
    Why did we have to bump
    into him of all people?
[00:49] ---
    I repeat! Stop your ship!
[00:52] ---
    Dren.
[00:53] ---
    Fire a warning shot. A volley.
[01:00] ---
    All turrets, prepare to fire!
[01:03] ---
    Turret 1, aim starboard of the enemy ship!
[01:06] ---
    Turrets 2 and 3, aim to its port side!
[01:08] ---
    This is a warning! Got that?!
[01:11] ---
    Don't hit them!
[01:12] ---
    Turret 1, we have target acquisition!
[01:15] ---
    Turrets 2 and 3, aiming...
[01:18] ---
    Ready!
[01:20] ---
    Fire!
[01:36] ---
    Enemy ship has powered down its engine.
[01:38] ---
    Good, that was skillfully done.
[01:40] ---
    Dren, I'm going out in my Zaku.
    Have Denim provide cover.
[01:44] ---
    Pull up alongside them and wait.
[01:48] ---
    What...!
[01:49] ---
    Wait! Lt. Cdr. Char!

    Episode 13
    The One-Year War
[04:09] ---
    You must surely be aware that
    we are currently in a state of war.
[04:13] ---
    By all rights, we should have
    destroyed you without warning.
[04:17] ---
    Why have you snuck into
    the very heart of Zeon?
[04:22] ---
    How? To what end?
[04:26] ---
    There's just one of him!
[04:28] ---
    I doubt it's for reconnaissance or sabotage.
[04:31] ---
    We can take him!
[04:44] ---
    Answer my question!
[04:46] ---
    Failure to do so will only result in
    further harm to your ship and her crew.
[05:10] ---
    Pardon the presumptuousness of my asking,
[05:12] ---
    but are you Admiral Revil?
[05:17] ---
    Yes, I'm Revil.
[05:20] ---
    What will you do with that knowledge,
    Zeon officer who is faithful to his duty?
[05:31] ---
    I was unaware that you were
    aboard this vessel, Admiral.
[05:36] ---
    Please forgive me for so rudely
    interrupting your voyage.
[05:40] ---
    Safe travels to you, sir.
[05:44] ---
    Lieutenant! Lt. Cdr. Char
    has come out of the ship!
[05:48] ---
    He seems to be returning to his Zaku!
[05:53] ---
    Lt. Commander!
[05:54] ---
    Should we really turn a blind eye to an enemy
    vessel that has violated our territory?
[05:59] ---
    It's fine, Dren. That was a treasure
    ship that was far too rich for my blood.
[06:04] ---
    We came very close to ruining
    a brilliant bit of political theater.
[06:22] ---
    Cease-fire Negotiations Begin
[06:25] ---
    M'Quve Granted Plenipotentiary Powers
[06:25] ---
    Zeon's Leading Earth Connoisseur
[06:27] ---
    Antarctic Treaty Concluded?
[06:30] ---
    Sovereign and Supreme Commander
    Confer Full Authority
[06:33] ---
    Surrender Effectively Urged
[06:39] ---
    We're here, Father!
[06:43] ---
    Not too shabby, I suppose.
[06:45] ---
    But not good enough to hire you
    for our regular company flights, of course.
[06:48] ---
    Thank you, but my top potential
    employer pick is another company.
[06:53] ---
    You mean Cameron?
[06:55] ---
    That's a fine idea, too.
    I have no objections there.
[07:02] ---
    Please fasten your seat belt.
    I'm taking us in to dock.
[07:22] ---
    Hold up!
[07:25] ---
    Sorry to bother you while
    you're out and about,
[07:29] ---
    but I need a minute of
    your time, Amuro buddy.
[07:34] ---
    We need to have a chat. About your father.
[07:38] ---
    Don't feed me more of that bull about him
    being a Colony Public Corporation engineer!
[07:43] ---
    He works for the military, right?
    Just like I always suspected.
[07:48] ---
    What's he doing in secret
    that's so hush-hush?
[07:51] ---
    He's trying to drag us into
    the war too, isn't he?! Even us?!
[07:56] ---
    Please get out of the way.
[07:58] ---
    Huh?
[07:59] ---
    It's dangerous to stand
    in the street like that!
[08:12] ---
    Even if you are the* chief engineer's son,
[08:15] ---
    I can't let you in.
[08:17] ---
    Besides, some company
    bigwig is here for a tour today.
[08:21] ---
    My father asked me to come!
[08:23] ---
    He wants me to fetch a bag with
    memory chips in it from his lab!
[08:27] ---
    Come on, kid...
[08:30] ---
    You heard the man.
[08:35] ---
    What the heck is a "Gundam"?!
[08:52] ---
    Hello, you must be Amuro.
[09:00] ---
    And you are?
[09:02] ---
    William Kemp.
[09:10] ---
    I work with your father.
[09:18] ---
    So you really are a soldier...
[09:22] ---
    You can tell me about the Gundam, then?
[09:26] ---
    How long have you known
    of the Gundam's existence?
[09:29] ---
    Did you hear about it from Chief Ray?
[09:31] ---
    What are you talking about?
[09:33] ---
    Dad...
[09:34] ---
    Er, my father never said
    anything about it to me.
[09:37] ---
    How do you know about it, then?!
[09:40] ---
    I'm asking the questions here!
    What the heck is this "Gundam" thing?!
[09:58] ---
    Start upstairs. Work quickly.
[09:59] ---
    Hey! Who are you people?
[10:03] ---
    Damn you! Stop, thieves!
[10:04] ---
    Activating security mode!
[10:07] ---
    Haro!
[10:16] ---
    I won't tell Chief Ray about
    what happened today.
[10:19] ---
    And you're not to divulge any
    of this to anyone, either!
[10:22] ---
    Got that?! This is your only warning, Amuro!
[10:27] ---
    Well, that was a bust...
[10:46] ---
    Amuro. I am ashamed.
[10:48] ---
    Intruders got... the drop on me.
[11:31] ---
    Ladies and gentlemen of the world,
    this is Scott City, located in Antarctica.
[11:36] ---
    Historic peace talks are about
    to begin here in this place.
[11:43] ---
    I see. That's good to hear. Good work.
[11:47] ---
    I'll put the whole team up for
    special two-rank promotions.
[11:52] ---
    Commander Judock reporting, sir!
[11:55] ---
    The media arrangements have been made?
[11:57] ---
    Yes, sir!
[11:59] ---
    Most major stations on Earth, including
    the colony sphere, have a live feed.
[12:04] ---
    Side 5, Loum
[12:04] ---
    Miranda, Capital Banchi
[12:09] ---
    It will be difficult to lose you right now,
[12:13] ---
    but that's that.
[12:16] ---
    What do you say? I have
    a proposal for your next job...
[12:20] ---
    Would you be interested in going to Side 7?
[12:23] ---
    Side 7? Why there?
[12:26] ---
    I know it's out in the middle of nowhere.
[12:29] ---
    But it's free of Zeon influence.
[12:33] ---
    This is Luna II. The Federation
    Forces still have control of it for now.
[12:41] ---
    That's it? That's Side 7?
[12:45] ---
    One reason is that it's a development area
    that's located opposite Zeon's Side 3,
[12:50] ---
    so I doubt they would
    ever want to bother with it.
[12:55] ---
    However, there's a construction worker
    population of about 30,000 there.
[12:59] ---
    They're essentially a remote village
    without a doctor at the moment.
[13:02] ---
    I'll go. I'll do it.
[13:05] ---
    I'll go to Side 7!
[13:07] ---
    Asteroid Base, Luna II
[13:24] ---
    We've been awaiting your
    arrival, Admiral Revil.
[13:27] ---
    Hello, Wakkein.
[13:30] ---
    It's good to see you still alive.
[13:34] ---
    I'm sorry about Loum.
[13:36] ---
    Please hurry, sir. There's little time.
[13:40] ---
    Hello, Elran!
[13:43] ---
    I must say, I'm surprised! That was
    quite the miracle you pulled off!
[13:45] ---
    There's no getting one past you,
    Adm. Gopp. Word travels fast.
[13:50] ---
    Not at all! The whole
    general staff knows about it.
[13:56] ---
    What do you suppose Revil will say?
[13:59] ---
    I can guess.
[14:03] ---
    I suppose our talks here
    will all be a waste of time.
[14:07] ---
    I wouldn't say that, sir.
[14:10] ---
    If we can sign a wartime treaty,
    it will be worth it.
[14:13] ---
    A ban on the use of nuclear
    weapons. Biological. Chemical.
[14:17] ---
    And of course the use of
    colonies or asteroids as bombs.
[14:22] ---
    In other words, "War all you like,
    just be cleaner about it," eh?
[14:51] ---
    We go live in fifteen seconds!
[14:57] ---
    Ten seconds!
[15:01] ---
    Five seconds! Four!
[15:03] ---
    Three!
[15:09] ---
    Ladies and gentlemen of the Earth
    Sphere, I am Johann Ibrahim Revil.
[15:17] ---
    As an admiral of the Federation Space Force,
[15:20] ---
    I led the relief operation
    to our allied nation of Loum.
[15:25] ---
    This ended in a resounding defeat for us.
[15:28] ---
    As commander, the fault lay in
    my strategy and combat leadership.
[15:34] ---
    Is this for real?
[15:36] ---
    Why is he wearing a field officer's uniform?
[15:39] ---
    As you are aware,
[15:41] ---
    I was injured and was held
    prisoner in the Zeon homeland.
[15:46] ---
    I am only able to speak to you
    today from an allied base
[15:50] ---
    because I was rescued by the
    valiant soldiers of our forces.
[15:56] ---
    We lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers,
    as well as a great many warships.
[16:02] ---
    I take full responsibility.
[16:07] ---
    The fact that I was rescued by the forces
    that I robbed of both glory and pride
[16:13] ---
    is thanks to the grace of God.
[16:17] ---
    Lt. Dren!
[16:20] ---
    You should all listen to this.
[16:22] ---
    It was a sign from God
[16:24] ---
    that I must redeem the loss
    and disgrace of that defeat.
[16:27] ---
    The curtain is about to rise on a new act.
[16:30] ---
    A second act, in which there is no God.
[16:34] ---
    If I should be entrusted
    with that duty once again,
[16:39] ---
    I would devote myself body
    and soul to making up for that defeat!
[16:46] ---
    I am aware that peace talks are being
    held in Antarctica at this very moment.
[16:53] ---
    Of course, I hope for peace as well.
[16:56] ---
    However, a truce must not be
    signed at this point in time!
[17:00] ---
    This would not be an armistice!
    It would be a surrender!
[17:07] ---
    It would mean the people of Earth,
[17:10] ---
    with their long history
    of culture and civilization,
[17:13] ---
    yielding to tyranny and despotism!
[17:20] ---
    Damn you, Revil...
[17:25] ---
    Excuse me, sir.
[17:27] ---
    The commanders of the Earth
    Expeditionary Force
[17:29] ---
    are assembled to receive
    your blessing, Sovereign.
[17:39] ---
    Well, Father... I'm off.
[17:44] ---
    I've been promoted to colonel for my
    distinguished service in the Loum mop-up.
[17:48] ---
    I am taking command of the North
    American Force, Western Sector.
[17:55] ---
    Give it your all, Garma!
    Silence all those ingrates!
[18:01] ---
    I-I will!
[18:02] ---
    Go crush every last one of
    those war-loving Earthers!
[18:10] ---
    It was a grand endeavor that only succeeded
    because there existed a government
[18:12] ---
    They're so far behind
    schedule... Unbelievable.
[18:13] ---
    that embodied humanity's collective will
    and knowledge, the Earth Federation!
[18:18] ---
    I'm gonna get'cha!
[18:18] ---
    Zeon slaughtered billions of innocent people
    who were the backbone of that grand enterprise!
[18:20] ---
    It's so peaceful here...
[18:22] ---
    And Gihren Zabi carried out the operation!
[18:22] ---
    I can only hope that it stays peaceful.
[18:25] ---
    What right does he have to talk?!
[18:28] ---
    What made them resort to carrying out
    the barbaric act of dropping a colony?
[18:34] ---
    Do you think the war will continue?
[18:34] ---
    They are suffering, too.
[18:36] ---
    Yes. There hasn't been
    enough destruction yet.
[18:36] ---
    An act such as this only proves that
    they are already on their last legs.
[18:41] ---
    Humanity hasn't taken this
    as far as it can go yet.
[18:44] ---
    Citizens of Earth, you must
    not believe Degwin and Gihren!
SIGN    Mirai Yashima Serves on assault landing ship White Base. Helm officer.
[18:49] ---
    Their words are no more than empty threats!
[18:50] ---
    Regardless of what they
    say, people desire war.
[18:52] ---
    You must not stand for the
    self-righteousness of the entire Zabi brood!
[19:04] ---
    Take this!
[19:10] ---
    Hey!
[19:13] ---
    You guys should come play in the water too!
[19:17] ---
    Mr. Kai, she asked us to join them.
[19:22] ---
    What are you listening to?
[19:24] ---
    Some bigshot is giving
    a speech. So I'm listening to it!
[19:25] ---
    When Degwin Sodo Zabi
    named himself sovereign
[19:29] ---
    and seized power in Side 3, he gave a speech!
[19:31] ---
    Is the war ending, then?
[19:33] ---
    I want you to think back
    to his arrogant words!
[19:34] ---
    You know... I don't think so.
[19:36] ---
    Doesn't seem likely.
SIGN    Kai Shiden Serves on White Base, fights in battle as Guncannon crew.
[19:46] ---
    Amuro!
[19:48] ---
    Amuro, wanna come play in the water, too?

    It feels great!
SIGN    Fraw Bow Serves on White Base, active in medical team, mess hall team, child care.
[20:00] ---
    Jerk!
[20:03] ---
    Hayato!
[20:04] ---
    Come join us in the water!
[20:08] ---
    Sorry, I can't. I have to go to practice.
[20:11] ---
    Aw, c'mon!
[20:12] ---
    Please! Pretty please!
[20:14] ---
    Cut it out!
[20:15] ---
    Hey, cut it out!
SIGN    Hayato Kobayashi Also serves aboard White Base. Active as Guntank crew.
[20:23] ---
    Aw, man!
[20:36] ---
    On the far side of that,
[20:38] ---
    that's where the Gundam is...
SIGN    Amuro Ray Serves on White Base. Climbs into new RX-78-02 Gundam, active thereafter as its pilot.
[20:50] ---
    Hey, now...
[20:53] ---
    Let's see...
[20:55] ---
    Hey, baby!
[20:57] ---
    You seem kinda bored!
[20:59] ---
    Care to join us for some fun?
[21:02] ---
    Hm? What'cha listening
    to? You look all worried!
[21:08] ---
    Would you like to hear?
[21:11] ---
    Pipe down and listen, though.
    This is a very important speech.
[21:15] ---
    We should not overestimate Zeon!
[21:19] ---
    With its limited human
    and material resources,
[21:23] ---
    Zeon cannot continue fighting for long!
SIGN    Sayla Mass
    Serves on White Base. Comms officer.
    Later active as Core Fighter crew.
    Real name, Artesia Som Deikun.
[21:36] ---
    We must not play into Zeon's hands!
[21:39] ---
    We must continue to fight!
[21:50] ---
    There are no soldiers in Zeon!
[21:52] ---
    We are certain to be victorious!
[23:34] ---
    Pegasus-class assault landing ship White Base
[23:40] ---
    Atmospheric exit complete.
[23:42] ---
    We have achieved orbit.
[23:44] ---
    Accelerating and setting course for Luna II.
[23:53] ---
    She's a fine ship, isn't she, Mr. Bright?
[23:57] ---
    Yes, sir.
[23:58] ---
    This is a state of the art, Minovsky
    Craft-equipped ship, all right.
[24:02] ---
    That was quite an experience
    for this reservist.
[24:06] ---
    Now we just need to carry out
    our mission, Mr. Bright.
[24:10] ---
    Yes, sir!
SIGN    Bright Noa Takes receipt of the Gundam at Side 7. Later leads ship as acting captain.
[24:15] ---
    Where is Chief Tem Ray?
[24:17] ---
    In his cabin, sir.
[24:19] ---
    I'll show him to the bridge later.
[24:25] ---
    At long last...
[24:27] ---
    I thought the day would never come!
[24:30] ---
    Amuro, your father has done it!
[24:35] ---
    The Gundam is complete!
[24:38] ---
    I haven't made life easy
    for you, either, have I?
