Godzilla Page #3

You keep them safe.

- Okay?

- Okay.

Whatever it takes.

Whatever it ta--

Hey, stay with me.

Dad?

Radial pulse is weaker.

Barely feel it.

We're losing him.

- Joe, can you hear me?

- He's going into A-fib.

Give me another epi, one milligram,

and 40 units of vasopressin.

Stay with us. Come on, Joe.

Hang in there, buddy.

This is our needle in a haystack, people.

MUTO.

Massive unidentified terrestrial organism.

It is, however, no longer terrestrial.

It is airborne.

The world still thinks

this was an earthquake...

...and it would be preferable that

that remain so.

Before we lost sight, it was

headed east across the Pacific...

...and had emitted enough

EMP disruption...

...to create havoc with

our radar and satellite feeds...

...and reduce us, for the moment,

to a strictly visual pursuit.

I emphasize "for the moment"...

...because we will get on our game...

...and we will find this thing.

It is imperative that we do so.

Captain, I want any...

- ...and all search options on this table ASAP.

- Yes, sir.

Dr. Serizawa.

Admiral William Stenz.

- Nice to meet you.

- Glad to have you on board.

Sensei.

Excuse me.

Authorities issued a

statement... GRAHAM: Brody's dead.

...claiming the nuclear contamination...

...is at no risk of spreading,

even as the death toll rises.

Lieutenant Brody?

Dr. Serizawa.

My condolences.

We are deeply sorry for your loss,

lieutenant.

But I'm afraid we need your help.

This is the USS Nautilus.

In 1954...

...the first time a nuclear submarine

ever reached the lower depths...

- ...it awakened something.

- The Americans...

...first thought that it was the Russians.

The Russians thought that it was them.

All those nuclear bomb tests

in the '50s...?

Not tests.

They were trying to kill it.

Him.

- An ancient alpha predator.

- Millions of years...

...older than mankind.

From an age when the Earth...

...was 10 times more radioactive

than today.

This animal and others like it...

...consumed this radiation

as a food source.

As the levels on the surface

naturally subsided...

...these creatures adapted

to live deeper in the oceans.

Further underground.

Absorbing radiation

from the planet's core.

The organization we work for, Monarch,

was established...

...in the wake of this discovery.

A multinational coalition...

...formed in secrecy...

...to search for him.

Study him.

Learn everything we could.

We call him...

...Gojira.

The top of...

...a primordial ecosystem.

A god, for all intents and purposes.

- A monster.

- Fifteen years ago...

...we found a fossil of another

giant animal in the Philippines.

Like Gojira. But this creature...

...died long ago.

Killed by these.

Parasitic spores.

One dormant. But the other hatched.

Catalyzed when a mining company...

...unknowingly drilled into its tomb.

The hatchling burrowed straight for

the nearest source of radiation...

...your father's power plant in Janjira...

...and cocooned there for 15 years,

absorbing its radioactive fuel...

- ...to gestate, to grow.

- Until it hatched...

...like a butterfly into the creature

you saw today.

Wait. You knew about this?

This thing? The whole time?

Why didn't you...

- ...kill it when you had the chance?

- It was absorbing...

...radiation from the reactors.

We worried killing it...

...might release that radiation

and endanger millions.

That's why our mission was to contain it.

To study its biology, to understand it.

We knew the creature

was having an electrical effect...

...on everything within a close proximity.

What we didn't know...

...was that it could harness

this same power...

...in an EMP attack.

But your father did.

He predicted it.

What else did he say?

Please try to remember, Mr. Brody.

Anything that would help us.

Anything at all.

I didn't listen.

I just thought he was crazy.

He was obsessed with all this...

Said something about an animal call.

Something talking.

Talking?

He said he was studying something.

Echolocation.

If the MUTO was talking that day...

...your father must have discovered

something talking back.

- Check again.

- Yup.

Search for a response call.

This parasite.

It's still out there. Where's it headed?

The MUTO is young...

growing-

It will be looking for food.

Sources of radiation.

We're monitoring all known sites...

...but if we don't find it soon--

Then what?

Nature has an order.

A power to restore balance.

I believe he is that power.

Sir, right now we're 50 miles from Hawaii.

This transport will take you there.

You're catching a commercial flight

back to San Francisco.

I'm gonna need you to brush your teeth.

- Disgusting! Those are terrible!

- Ha, ha.

We gotta brush them!

Citizens within a 100-mile radius...

...are being temporarily evacuated

from the area.

Hey, this is Elle.

You missed me. Please leave a message.

Elle.

I don't know what they're saying

on the news.

There was an accident in Japan.

Dad's gone.

I'll explain when I see you.

I'm headed to Hawaii.

I'm gonna catch a flight from there.

I'll see you soon.

Keep scrolling.

Near the end. Before the EMP.

There.

Something responded.

Aloha, and welcome aboard.

The train will begin moving shortly.

For the comfort of others,

no smoking, please. Thank you.

Please remember to stay clear

of the automatic doors.

Akio!

Mama!

Mama!

Hey, hey, hey.

Mama!

I can't open it.

Look, don't worry. Just wait there.

I'll bring him back.

Okay?

- Mama!

- Hey, hey.

Mama!

- Whoa. Hey. Whoa, kid.

- Mama!

It's okay. I'm gonna bring him back.

All right. I'm gonna set you down there.

I'll get you back to your parents.

Okay?

Here. Ls this what you want?

Take good care of him for me.

I better not miss my flight, kid.

Admiral, received an intel report.

We lost track of a nuclear Akula

50 nautical miles northwest of Hawaii.

Could be the MUTO.

Just got word of a missing Russian sub

in the North Pacific.

Martinez?

Aye. Special Forces Team Sparta 1

is picking up a distress signal...

...northwest of Diamond Head

on the island of Oahu.

They're on the ground,

headed to the beacon.

On 5. 23 north-northeast...

...of the last beacon. Moving in on foot.

Wanna tell me why we're looking...

...for an Akula in the jungle?

Probably a glitch. Russians said they...

...got a ping from this location.

Hey, I got a reading. It's right up ahead.

Sparta 1, this is Hawkeye.

We're getting the same ping off

the transponder. Range 30 meters.

Looks like you're getting warm.

What the hell?

Jesus.

Oh, my God.

Guardian 3, we located your Russian sub.

You're not gonna believe

what else we found.

Holy sh*t.

It appears to be rising

approximately 20 to 30 meters...

...above the tree line.

We can't tell how wide it is.

Cat's out of the bag, doctor.

No more secrets.

Our highest priority now is safety.

There's close to a million people

on that island.

Get me eyes in the air.

We're picking up something else.
