Godzilla Page #5

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.

creature's current sphere of influence...

...are being urged to

please find shelter...

...stay indoors and stay off the roads.

911, what's your emergency?

Kids in the car.

Debris going back about two miles.

This girl is not breathing.

--people that are hurt.

Send somebody out here now!

Yes, sir.

Yes, warheads are on the move.

I completely agree, sir.

All right, people. Let's go.

I need to know the exact location

of the MUTOs ASAP.

Aye. We're updating our models

with the current tracking data now.

Admiral.

Yes?

Please don't do this.

I understand your concerns, doctor.

But I am sacrificing lives...

...every minute trying to steer one of

these things clear of population centers...

...and now there are two more on the way.

There are millions of lives at risk.

So all I want to know...

...from you is:

Will it work and can they be killed?

But we tried that before.

We're talking dialable yield.

Megatons, not kilotons.

Nothing can withstand that blast.

Makes the bomb we tried to kill it with

in '54 look like a firecracker.

- Sergeant Morales. Give me a hand.

- I thought these nukes...

- ...all detonated by remote control.

- The MUTOs knock out...

...everything electric.

Including detonators.

Can't even get in range

without these things going haywire.

But this?

This, on the other hand, is old-school.

Clockwork.

Takes a licking...

- ...keeps on ticking.

- Heh.

Holy sh*t.

Sergeant Morales, get down here

with that radio. On the double. Move, move!

Snake Eyes,

this is Bravo to November. Ls the bridge...

...clear? Over.

I say again:

We got a train of VIP cargo...

...headed for the coast.

Ls the bridge clear? Over.

Snake Eyes, I need a sitrep.

Are the tracks clear?

We are at phase line yellow. In the next 10

mikes, we're advancing to phase line red.

Secure or not? Over.

You think it's intact?

Only one way to find out.

- You wanna take the top?

- Sure.

You check below. Sergeant Morales,

you come with me.

Sh*t.

Jesus.

- Jones, you all right?

- Yeah, I'm good!

The bridge is intact.

Bulldog, this is Eagle.

All clear to move out. Over.

Roger that, Eagle.

Let's go! Let's go, people!

Say again.

I do not have a visual.

What is your position? Over.

Unreadable. Say again. Over.

Hit the deck.

Help me turn it off, man.

Run!

Move it, run!

Ford! Aah!

He's going under!

Boats, sound the collision alarm.

Frame 180.

We're losing visual, admiral.

He's diving.

Changing course and moving fast. I've got

him at 33 knots and picking up speed.

He's gonna outrun us, sir.

Watch the swinging!

No swing!

Hey!

Hold on!

Medic!

They are insisting civilians

make their way to the BART stations.

BART stations are designated shelters.

These patients are my responsibility.

Where are you taking them?

Across the bridges.

Critical and children only.

Shelters are gonna fill up fast. Trust

me, they'll be safer outside the city.

- I can take Sam.

- No, no, no.

Ford's on his way.

If you change your mind,

the buses leave in 10 minutes.

Come on. Where are you, Ford?

This way! Keep them moving!

Let's go. Come on, come on.

Hey! Where are they taking it?

Twenty miles offshore, convergence point.

We're gonna lure them there.

Three birds, one stone.

Wait!

Okay, Sammy.

Laura, thank God.

Sammy, you remember Laura.

She's Mommy's work friend, right?

She's gonna look after you

for a little bit.

Daddy's gonna be here soon.

And I'm gonna just

come get you right after.

I promise.

Okay.

Okay?

Come on, sweetheart.

You're gonna come with me.

Your mom's gonna stay and help.

Elle, I'm gonna take care of him, okay?

- Say, "Bye-bye, Mommy."

Bye, Mommy.

I got him! I got him!

Just sit down here.

Sit, sit.

Here.

Did you lose consciousness?

I'm okay. Really, I'm fine.

Sitrep, please. Location of targets?

Male MUTO was spotted

30 miles off the Farallon Islands.

Showing seismic activity

to the east near Livermore.

Should be the female closing in.

Where's Godzilla?

Last contact was five hours ago.

Maintaining a bearing of 053 degrees,

descending below a depth of 10,000 feet.

Be here within the hour.

Residents are trying

to get out of the city any way they can.

There's still buses on that bridge.

Come on!

Let's get those buses through. Let's go!

We're not gonna stop the buses here.

What?

I can't hear you. Oh, kids...

...please be quiet.

Move into position till you have

a clean line of sight!

Portside! Two hundred meters!

Brace!

Hold your fire.

Hold your fire.

Holy sh*t.

Oh, sh*t!

- Hold on!

- Watch out!

Fire! Fire! Fire!

Look out!

Get down! Get down in your seats!

Please! Get down!

Get out of the way! Get out of the way!

Hey!

Move out! Move, move, move!

Striker! There's civilians

on the bridge. Hold your fire!

Open fire!

Move! Move!

- All right, get in there!

- Prepare to arm the device!

Ready! You got it?

I'm all set.

Arming keys!

Three! Two! One!

What the hell was that?

EMP.

Engine's stopped! We lost power!

- You all right?

- Yeah.

- Fire!

- Incoming!

Sam Brody was checked into the Oakland

Coliseum shelter an hour ago. He is safe.

No record of Elle Brody.

Never made it out of the city.

Well, check again. Please. I told her

to wait for me, and I didn't make it.

They are trying to get everyone downtown

into subway shelters.

I'm sure your wife is fine.

Lieutenant Brody!

I'm looking for Lieutenant Brody.

- Are you Brody?

- Yes.

Okay. The male delivered the warhead

to the center of downtown.

That puts 100,000 civilians

in the blast radius.

We can't stop it remotely.

An analog timer has been installed. The MUTOs are

frying electronics within a five-mile bubble.

Means approaching from ground

is not an option.

That's why we'll be conducting

a HALO insertion. Jumping altitude...

...Will be 30,000 feet.

We just skate to the top and drop. Here.

And here. If you don't hit a skyscraper

on the way, meet at rally point Charlie.

- Right here. Good?

- Doctor, any guesses where to look?

Underground.

If the MUTOs have spawned...

...they'll be building a nest.

Captain, when you find the warhead...

- ...how long to disarm it?

- Without seeing...

- ...the analog mod, I couldn't even guess.

- Sixty seconds...

...if I can access it.

I retrofitted that device myself.

Lieutenant Brody is our only...

...EOD tech to survive the train attack.

Well, it sounds like we could use you.

With all due respect...

- ...if that doesn't work, then what's Plan B?

- The waterfront...

...is located one klick downhill.

Get the bomb to the pier, onto a boat...

...and as far away from the city

as possible before it detonates.

Any questions?

- Dismissed.

- That's it.

Let's move.

Lieutenant?

They've already been briefed.

We have no extraction plan.

If you don't walk out,

you don't come back at all.

Sir, I'll do whatever it takes.

This alpha predator of yours, doctor...

...do you really think he has a chance?

The arrogance of man is thinking
