Battle Los Angeles
- An unprecedented meteor shower
falling off the coast of Tokyo.
The entire city is mesmerised
by this incredible sight.
Two hours after the first contact...
...an unidentified enemy
has reached our coastlines...
...in a swift and militaristic attack.
Right now, one thing is clear:
The world is at war.
At 14:
46 Pacific Standard Time......12 different locations
across the globe were breached...
...in a coordinated attack
by an unknown enemy.
All breaches were
along the coastline...
...in what is a campaign
of rapid dominance.
This is a textbook military invasion.
There are massive casualties
in New York.
Defensive lines
are being set up in Boston.
And at 13:
15 Zulu time,we lost communications...
...with San Francisco and San Diego.
Their status is unknown.
What we know is that we are the last
offensive force on the West Coast.
We cannot lose Los Angeles.
We have five birds down
two klicks west of CP Victory.
We're hit, we're hit! Tighten
your asses, we're going down!
Command and control is down.
Civilians in need of support
two klicks northeast.
Cables inbound.
Engage your sectors of fire, over.
Oh, sh*t. Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.
Good morning. 94. 5 with the Surfrider
Foundation Morning Surf Report.
Surfers, hard northeast conditions
blowing out there...
...the ocean slopping and chopping.
There is some size starting to build...
Come on. Come on.
- Morning, staff sergeant.
- Morning, sergeant.
Morning, staff sergeant.
- Morning, sergeant.
- Morning, staff sergeant.
Morning, staff sergeant.
Morning, you little prick.
You know what they say. You're only
as old as you feel, staff sergeant.
That's what I'm worried about.
I can't feel a damn thing.
- To the Pacific for our next report,
where a cluster of meteors...
...is predicted to enter our atmosphere
in the early hours tomorrow morning.
Go ahead.
They're expected to strik e miles
from land, far into the Pacific Ocean.
- John.
- Oh, God.
What's up, Mike?
Hey. What happened to that picture
of us in Iraq with that camel?
I mean, your girlfriend.
Hey, is this for real?
It's got your signature. I said, "That's
gotta be a mistake. He can't write."
No mistake, John. I did my 20.
I know when to get out.
Come on. You got the box full of
medals, a file full of commendations.
You can have them.
Seems you like interior decorating.
A Marine's got a shelf life, you know?
After that...
What? He spoils?
Something like that.
I'll finish my training assignment
with these Marines.
Get them combat ready.
And then I'll be on my merry way.
another lean, mean typing machine.
Sh*t, I ain't built like you, John.
Ugly, slow, soft.
God.
You had to make some
tough calls there, Mike.
Especially that last one.
We all wish your men made it home.
Here we go.
You're expired.
Clear the shelf...
...staff sergeant.
Everything I know is in here, John.
What typically would have been
detected months, if not years, before...
...surfaced in less than four hours.
These images giving some idea of
the rate these meteors are travelling.
Scientists are abuzz,
scrambling to try and understand it.
There's something just
extremely uncomfortable...
...about a man your size
sniffing a flower.
What you want is some hydrangeas.
Popular wedding flower,
come in green, blue.
What colour is
the bridesmaids' dresses?
- Good question.
- You're amazing. Take a whiff. Smell it.
Yes, pretty girl?
For 300 more, she said we could have
sprays of lilies.
Now, I know it's a lot, but it'd be
so beautiful. What do you think?
300 dollars? Goodness gracious.
It's a no-brainer. You're only getting
married once. Worry about 300 bucks?
- Thank you, Stavrou. Thank you.
- Yeah, no worries.
You know what? It's your day.
Do whatever you want.
I'm gonna hit you with something.
What are you doing?
Busting your balls.
Tomorrow we shop for cakes.
And I can't wait.
I love cake.
Yo, Doc. What you doing?
Skyping back home.
Is that your girlfriend? Damn, she fine.
Doc. My boy.
That's my sister.
Goddamn.
Shoot, man. I'm speaking objectively
here, you know what I'm saying?
All right, no, stop playing!
May I take a message?
Doc, is it all right
if I have one of those first?
You eat it at your own risk.
They're very old.
So do you feel
that you're making progress?
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
I'm sleeping a lot better.
And then also around the firing range
and everything...
...when I first came back
and hear the pop, pop, pop...
...l'd get jumpy and it would mess with
me a bit and a little bit of a setback.
But now it, you know...
...doesn't bother me.
So I think that's progress.
So, what's the story
with my status, doc?
I mean, are you gonna clear me
for combat? Because...
Yeah, I feel good.
Let's meet again next week...
...and we'll discuss it. Okay?
All right, thank you.
Thank you very much, doc.
Harris' girl is making the dude
organise his entire wedding...
...two weeks before we deploy.
I say the chick's busting his balls
like nobody's business.
But he got two weeks to get it done
because we're out.
So I just came by to visit you
one last time before we leave.
And I brought Dad's five iron with me.
And you know what that means.
Me and the boys are gonna
go out tonight, continue the tradition.
Have a good time, you know?
I'll see you soon, bro.
See you soon.
Motown, give me boots.
I'm going skiing.
Oh, that's how you do it, baby.
Here they come.
Don't mess this up, man.
They cannot know that you a virgin.
How do you know l...
Who says I'm a virgin?
We know you are. Look at your face.
What are you telling her?
Telling her what?
Oh, come on, you guys.
You're killing me.
That dog gonna hunt! Damn, Daktari,
you can play, man.
We have courses in Nigeria, lmlay.
Sh*t. How am I supposed to know,
man? It's an American game, right?
Adukwu's our Navy corpsman.
He's like a medic.
No, not like a medic. Medic is
the Army. I'm a Navy corpsman.
Well, sailor, yes.
I came here to become a doctor.
Slow down.
That's like number five.
How many have you had?
No, I'm good.
- Now, this guy here, Mr. Lenihan...
- Hey.
...his mom signed
so he could join up at 17.
And I look after him because this boy
don't know his ass from a hot rock.
- Not on my truck, dude!
- Easy, now. Easy, buddy.
- Oh, yeah!
- Not on my truck.
- Toast. To Lenihan.
- To Lenihan!
Good luck, rookie.
Retreat, hell!
- Emergency developing throughout
NASA and the space community.
We now know that meteors will land
off the coasts of eight different cities...
...and that number could k eep rising.
Evacuations now under way
in Southern California...
...moving the population back
from the coastline.
But a lot of curious people
are clamouring for views.
- What are you doing up so early?
- Lieutenant. Still gotta get used to that.
This thing right?
- Here. You want me to do it?
- It's tricky.
