Godzilla Page #2

And then you are gonna

come back to me.

Yeah. Yeah.

It's not the end of the world.

Papa.

I don't get many visitors.

Clearly.

This is you here.

Even, uh, Ph.D.'s...

...don't get much teaching English

as a second language.

Here we go.

And a towel.

All right.

So...

...how's the bomb business?

It must be a growth area these days.

It's called "explosive ordnance disposal."

My job isn't dropping bombs.

It's stopping them.

- Dad.

- Hey...

...how's Elle doing?

And Sam. Oh, my God. He must be...

...what? Three? Three and a half?

He's almost 5.

I thought you were over this.

"Echolocation"?

- Oh, hey.

- "Parasitic communication--".

Please don't, if you don't mind.

I have everything the way I like it.

I'm just...

I'm studying bioacoustics.

What were you doing, going back there?

- This trespassing stuff, that was bull.

- You broke the law.

I was trying to get back to our old house.

- In a quarantine zone.

- Precisely.

The new readings are exactly

like they were on that day...

...and I can prove it to you.

With a little luck, if I can get back...

...to the house...

...l can show you and the world this was

not from a natural disaster. This was--

Dad!

Your mom's out there, Ford.

To me...

...she'll always be there.

They evacuated us so quickly.

I don't even have a picture of her.

This has to stop.

You know I did everything I could.

You know that, right?

Let me take you home.

Come home with me.

I got a little boy who's desperate

to see his grandpa.

We can leave tomorrow.

What are you doing?

I'm heading back out there, Ford.

- No. I don't think so.

- One hour, in and out.

I have to go!

I came back here and wasted six years...

...staring through that barbed wire,

thinking it was...

...a military mistake or some horrible

design flaw they were covering up.

One day...

...l met a guy who runs

a cargo boat offshore.

Every day he goes right past

the reactor site.

So he places a couple frequency monitors

on buoys for me.

Two weeks ago...

I check this thing like every other day

just for the kick.

Two weeks ago, I'm tuning in...

...and, oh, my God...

...there it is.

Whatever "it" is that's in there.

Whatever it is they're guarding

so carefully...

...started talking again.

And I mean talking.

Ha, ha.

I have to go back...

...to our house.

I need my old disks, if

they're still there.

I need the data to be able to prove

a baseline here...

...that this isn't a fantasy,

that I'm not what you think I am.

I'm gonna find the truth...

...and end this.

Whatever it takes.

Why can't you just let it rest?

Because I sent her down there, son.

This wasn't just a reactor meltdown.

I don't wanna hear this.

I know. I know you don't.

But you can't keep running away.

And, son, you can't bury this in the past.

What spooked them?

Dad, come on. Let's go.

It's only another two blocks.

Dad!

Are we going home, or what?

Whoa! Hey, what are you doing?

Dad?

It's clean.

I knew it.

The radiation in this place should

be lethal, but there's nothing.

Thank God.

Are they rebuilding the plant?

I don't know. I haven't seen--

Ten seconds. Ten seconds.

Seven-point-two seconds

and getting stronger.

We're trending exponentially.

That's our new curve.

Jesus, it's worse than we thought.

Excuse me, Dr. Serizawa?

Two men were just arrested

in the Q-zone.

We've got bigger problems here.

Have Dr. Graham take a look.

She did, sir. She sent me.

One of them says

he used to work here, doctor.

You are not fooling anybody...

...when you say that

what happened 15 years ago...

Found these disks in his bag.

...was a natural disaster.

Not sure what to make of them.

Not an earthquake, it wasn't a typhoon.

Okay? So stop--

Look, I'm tired of talking to you

about this.

I want my son.

I wanna see my son.

I wanna know that he's all right.

This guy, this guy knows.

He knows where he is.

I want my son.

And I want my bag and disks.

And I wanna talk to somebody

in charge, not you. No, not you.

I'm done talking to you.

All right? You're looking at me right now,

like I'm in a fish tank, right?

Fine. Because I know

what happened here.

And you keep telling everybody

that this place...

...is a death zone, but it's not.

You're lying.

Because what's really happening...

...is that you're hiding something

out there.

I'm right, aren't I?

My wife died here!

Something killed my wife.

And I have...

...a right to know!

I deserve answers!

All these items...

...they were found on him.

- And the date. Look, 15 years ago.

- I thought all of the data...

...from that day was lost.

I guess not.

You see?

You see? There it is again.

That is not a transformer malfunction.

That is an electromagnetic pulse.

It affects everything electrical...

...for miles and miles...

...and it is happening again.

This is what caused everything

in the first place.

Don't you see that?

And it is gonna send us

back to the Stone Age.

You have no idea what's coming.

Pulses are seconds apart.

They're getting stronger.

It's affecting the power grid.

Any radiation leakage?

Gamma levels are still zero.

It sucked all three reactors dry.

It's done feeding.

What's this?

- It's the same pattern.

- Fifteen years ago...

- ...it's what caused the meltdown.

- An electromagnetic...

...pulse. That's what it's building to.

Converting all that radiation...

...until it hatches.

We have to shut down.

Secure the grid.

Wildfire protocols.

All personnel,

clear the first perimeter immediately!

What's going on? Hey, where you going?

Grid's secure.

Kill it.

All readings are flatlined.

Ahem.

Get a visual.

Jesus. Check the grid. Hit us

with an EMP. We're losing power!

- Get the backup generators online.

- Working on it.

That pulse fried every circuit.

- Check the cage.

- Trying the backup generators.

Here we go.

Everybody out!

Now!

Hey! Let me out! Hey!

No! No, wait!

Stop!

Ford!

Dad!

It was unlike anything

I've ever experienced before.

Yeah, it's, uh, Ford Brody.

Japan to San Francisco.

Okay, could I at least--

if you could let me leave you my cell--

Hello?

Damn it!

I'm sorry.

Hey, it's okay.

It's okay. Daddy's gonna be okay.

Daddy's gonna be okay.

This area is now under

Naval military jurisdiction.

All personnel must report...

...to the duty officer for debriefing.

Dr. Serizawa!

Dr. Serizawa!

Dr. Serizawa.

Captain Russell Hampton.

Glad to find you. I've been briefed...

...on your work with Operation Monarch.

Now, I'm told your organization

has situational awareness...

...of our unidentified creature?

Is that right?

We are now taking over

operational authority...

...from Monarch. So I'm gonna need you...

...to come with me.

Is there any other personnel you need?

They'll take care of you.

I'll be right next to you.

Okay.

Them.

- Let's get his vitals.

- Shh. Shh.

Radial pulse is weak.

I'm counting 125.

It's okay.

You were right.

I'm sorry.

Go home to your family.
