Godzilla Page #4

Synopsis: In 1999, the Janjira nuclear plant was mysteriously destroyed with most hands lost including supervisor Joe Brody's colleague and wife, Sandra. Years later, Joe's son, Ford, a US Navy ordnance disposal officer, must go to Japan to help his estranged father who obsessively searches for the truth of the incident. In doing so, father and son discover the disaster's secret cause on the wreck's very grounds. This enables them to witness the reawakening of a terrible threat to all of Humanity, which is made all the worse with a second secret revival elsewhere. Against this cataclysm, the only hope for the world may be Godzilla, but the challenge for the King of the Monsters will be great even as Humanity struggles to understand the destructive ally they have.

Approaching from the Pacific.

We need to check out that object.

General quarters.

Bridge, this is the captain.

- Where you going?

- Up to the flight deck.

I think he is coming.

What are you doing?

I have to see this.

Whoa.

Two Charlie Six, we are circling

the target. Go on your command.

Stand by, got a visual. Bogey at my 12.

Be advised. Prepare to engage target.

We're getting movement...

...down here.

Take cover!

Control, I have...

...no power. I say again, I've lost all--

You all right?

You give it 10 seconds,

lights gonna come back on.

It's okay.

- What was that?

- Did you see that?

What is it?

Dad!

Zoe?

Zoe!

Oh, my God.

Run. Run! Tsunami! Tsunami!

Target spotted offshore...

...two knots due east of your position.

Could be a second bogey.

Anybody hurt?

- Anyone get an eyeball on the bogey?

- Where is he?

There you go.

What did I tell you?

Please.Thank you.

Get down!

Let's go!

Remember to stay...

...clear of the doors.

Go, go, go!

Target in sight...

- ...two o'clock, 300 meters.

- We're on 6-X-01. Target confirmed.

Jesus!

Can you tell us what happened?

--and everybody started running

and screaming.

Sam, please turn that TV off.

Hey, did you hear me?

Off.

Come on, Sammy. Let's go.

Let's go. It's bedtime.

- Sammy.

- Mommy, look.

Dinosaurs.

Attention, please. Incoming patients...

- ...please proceed...

- Excuse me.

Hi. Excuse me. I'm sorry.

This boy's been separated from his parents.

Fill this out. Be with you...

...in just a minute.

Hey, you got service on that cell phone?

No. The pay phones don't even work.

- Akio!

- Akio!

Mama! Papa!

Corporal, load up, load up.

Sergeant. Lieutenant Brody, U.S. Navy.

I need your help.

I'm trying to get to the mainland.

It's your lucky day.

Everything not tied down is moving east.

- Whoa, is that where they're heading?

- Yeah.

I guess we're monster hunters now.

Satellite transfer complete.

Simulations uploaded.

Satellite tracking continues.

Last satellite tracks predict

the MUTO continuing due east.

All our models have the targets

converging on the Pacific Coast.

As of now, it looks like Godzilla's

still following the MUTO.

He's hunting.

Have all vessels maintain

current distance from target.

And plot the speed and heading

of these things.

I wanna know exactly when and where

they'll make landfall.

Yes, sir.

Doctor, what did you mean by "hunting"?

You think it's chasing this MUTO?

But if the MUTO is his prey...

The signal shows a call.

- Why call up a predator?

- No, it didn't.

I think Godzilla...

...was only listening.

The MUTO was calling something else.

The pattern.

Focus the search on Nevada.

Nevada? Why would it go to Nevada?

- It can't be. It's impossible.

- What's impossible?

There was another spore, intact,

found in the Philippine mine.

But we vivisected it.

Ran every test on it for years.

You confirmed it for yourself.

It was dormant!

Maybe not anymore.

This spore. Where is it now, doctor?

It was highly radioactive.

It was disposed of.

The Americans, they took it.

Doctor, where is it?

Where you put all your nuclear waste.

Go, go, go!

Right, let's go! Give me a Mark I...

...eyeball on every vault.

Clear!

Clear!

Clear!

- Clear!

- Clear!

Clear!

- Clear!

- Clear!

Hey!

ls anyone in there?

Captain, our UAVs have footage

of the new MUTO.

Let's have a look.

Yes, sir.

This is from five minutes ago.

My God.

Playing all we have now.

It's almost 300 feet.

It's far bigger than the other one.

But this one doesn't have any wings.

A different sex?

A female.

That's who he's been talking to.

It must be a mating call.

The female remained dormant

until the male matured.

Now they're seeking radiation.

To reproduce.

Current tracking models indicate that

all three targets are converging here:

San Francisco Bay.

But if we rig a nuclear warhead

with a shielded timer...

...put it on a boat and send it...

...20 miles out...

...the radiation lures the MUTOs...

...and the MUTOs lure Godzilla.

And we detonate,

with minimal fallout risk to the city.

You can't be serious.

They feed on radiation.

Correct. That's why we use

the bomb as bait.

And kill them...

- ...with the sheer force of the blast.

- This is crazy.

Doctor, if you have any other ideas,

I am all ears.

Admiral.

Yes, doctor?

Gojira may be the answer.

I believe...

...he's here to restore balance.

He can defeat them.

And what? We just stand by and watch?

I'm sorry, doctor. I can't take that risk.

Prep the warheads

and get them moving to the coast.

- Yes, sir.

- Yes, sir.

I know you don't agree with this.

But my first priority

is to safeguard our citizens.

It's stopped.

Yes.

Eight-fifteen in the morning.

August 6, 1945.

Hiroshima.

It was my father's.

Heads up.

We've got new destination, new orders.

Let's get geared up.

Hey, tech sergeant.

What's the word?

Another one of those things

popped up in Nevada, sir.

Okay, everybody out.

Can't fly any further.

We're well in range of its EMP.

So from here on out, it's on the ground

or it's not at all. Let's go!

All right, listen up!

This train and these weapons

are headed to San Francisco.

Anyone not part of this mission,

disembark now!

Negative.

Can't do it, sir.

This is a high-risk mission.

That train is a national asset, not Amtrak.

- We good to go?

- Just about.

From the look of the casings

on those Minuteman ICBMs...

...guessing the digital module's been bypassed

and you're prepping for full analog retrofit.

Is my jaw supposed to drop?

I get it. You're EOD.

- I got my crew, they know what they're doing.

- Aim the pointy end...

...at the monsters, right, sarge?

When was the last time you let one of

your guys put their fingers in a live bomb?

Look, this is what I do.

This is my job.

Master sergeant.

My family's in the city.

Okay? I need to get on that train.

You heard the spokesman say...

...that the White House has not ruled

out the use of nuclear force.

Sam, your mom's gonna be right back.

Emergency, can I help you?

Hello?

Oh, yeah, just a sec.

Elle, for you.

- Tell them I'll be there in a minute.

- Elle.

It's your husband.

Hello?

Elle?

Ford?

Oh, God.

- You all right? How's Sam?

- I've been calling you everywhere.

- You okay'?

- I'm fine.

- I've got Sam with me.

- Great. Because I wanna get you both--

Can't believe this is happening.

Ford.

You okay? Are you doing okay?

I'm okay. Elle, please don't worry.

Baby, I'm so scared right now.

I know.

I'm gonna be at the hospital by sunrise.

Then I'll get you and Sam out.

Okay.

The military has a plan

to deal with these things.

I'm coming to get you both, okay?

Okay.

Can you please just hurry?

I Will.

Elle?

I just wanted you to know that I love you.

I love you too. Just be safe.

I'll see you soon.

Good to go! Let's move out!

As blackouts and electrical interference...
