Kong: Skull Island Page #2

1800 tomorrow.

Thank you. I really owe you one.

I don't get it. Why do you want a

gig documenting a mapping mission?

When you're at the cover of Time?

Jerry, when three sources

tell you the same thing word for word...

You know they are lying.

There is something going on here,

something that nobody is talking.

BANGKOK, THAILAND

PIER 14

I can not believe we're doing this.

A day away?

One day away!

And no, now we gotta go to another Island...

with another jungle.

Vietnam is not a island, Dumbass.

Key West is...

and that's exactly where

I need to be right now,

with a drink in my hand.

Key West ain't an island, either.

It's a key.

You ain't funny, Cole.

Mason Weaver, photographer.

Mason Weaver is a woman?

last time I checked

Can I help you?

Two years in the country.

Where have you been?

Embedded with MAC V-SOG.

You in the sh*t.

I respect that.

Cause people like you,

lost us support back home.

You aren't actually gonna blame

the people without guns...

For loosing the war, are you?

Camera is way more dangerous than a gun.

And we did not lose the war...

We are abondaning.

Right.

Hello and welcome.

I am Lansat field supervisor,

Victor Nieves

this is my collegue, Steve Woodward

Our data wrangler

Our expedition takes

us to a place...

Every nautical trade route known to man

has avoided for centuries.

As our satellite shows...

the island is surrounded

by a perpetual storm system

Allowing it to remain hidden

from the outside world.

But with Colonel Packard's

helicopter transport.

we will be the first to break

through to the other side.

We, are also pleased to be

joined for the fisrt time

By the resource exploration team...

led by Mr. Randa...

and the company by biologist,

Ms. San...

and geologist, Mr. Brooks.

Our focus will be on

the Island surface

There is, what lies beneath.

Mr Brooks.

Simple really

We are using explosives to shake the earth,

and create vibrations...

Helping us to map the sub

surface of the island.

We will fly over the south shore and

then strategically drop seismic chargers

that will help us understand

the density of the earth.

You are dropping bombs?

Scientific instruments.

Do you hear that, boys?

we are scientists, now

You guys are not scientists.

We'll then land, and make base camp...

for ground excursions led by Mr. Conrad.

Me to Jack Chapman.

All right. Once on the island...

the storm interfarence will block

all radio contact with the ship.

That means, we will be by ourselves

Three days later, refuel team will meet us

here on north of the Island...

north of the island.

That might be our only safe departure...

for unknown period.

So a tip for everybody...

Don't miss it, please.

What are you doing down here?

I could ask you the same thing.

Why does a geological mapping mission

needs explosives.

Seismic charges for the geological survey.

And you believe that?

I did not say that.

Have you met Colonel Packard yet?

Yeah.

The guy bound pretty tight

But as a decorated war hero.

It's the package they come in

And you?

Isn't shooting a mapping mission

start down for a photojournalist?

The right photo help shape opinions.

And win you a Pulitzer.

Well, Captain Conrad.

What about you?

How did British Special

forces get dragged into this?

Just Conrad. I'm decommissioned.

They offered me money.

You don't strike me as a mercenary.

You don't strike me as a war photographer.

Anti war photographer.

What are you writing there, Chap?

Letter to my boy.

DEAR BILLY:

"Dear Billy...

"I know I said I would at

be home by your birthday,

but I lied straight to your face.

"I'm a terrible dad.

"I hope this letter makes out for you".

It's too short.

This storm look a lot

max near in person.

maybe we should consider

postponing the mission.

How far away is this island?

50 miles. maybe more.

Take us closer.

You wanna launch, do it from here.

Can you punch through that, Colonel?

- Our opening is now.

- Bring This whole right here?

Yeah, it's a real low pressure pocket.

I appreciate your passion, Randa...

but as a field supervisor

of the controlling agency...

I say we abort. that's it,

we are gonna abort.

Wise call.

I'm sure the Landsat inspector

will be inspired by your courage.

I hope you inspired by my common sense.

This is only a map surveying

To one of the vast unchartered areas

on the face of the earth.

And you want to call it on account of rain?

Stay on the boat if you want to.

It could be years

before we get another shot at this.

I'm told your unit is capable

of handling inclement weather, Colonel.

Why don't we leave it to Colonel Packard

to break the tie?

There is no way

I'm getting on that helicopter.

We did ask on those helicopters.

Should not they know why?

Why? And raise an alarm?

It is purely a precaution, Brooks.

Right.

Two mike to launch.

Two mike to launch.

Still this end to come

Nothing he wouldn't do himself.

He is taking the lead.

That means he miss his bed, I miss my bed.

Don't you miss your bed?

Do you even have a bed, Cole?

You got a bed, right?

See you at the rendevzous, Chapman.

Yes sir.

SEISMIC LOADS:

Complete FOB lockdown, and clear the deck.

One mike to launch.

- Battery?

- Check.

- Generator start?

- Check.

- Engine start?

- Checked three times.

This is Fox. Leader of the Fox Group.

It's time once again...

Griffin and ants show.

As usual, remember...

... Hold on to your butts!

Attention pilots. You are clear to takeoff.

Launch, launch, launch.

Combat formation.

Keep visual.

Fox five let me know when you're close.

Fox Five is in the slot.

Roger that.

Fox Team, follow up on me. Keep together.

Let's do this!

Maintain course.

Nothing we haven't done before.

"Dear Billy.

"You ever look inside a hurricane

and decide?

"Maybe I should fly straight through it."

"Because that is what just happen."

You might want to hang on.

Fox Leader to Fox Group.

Switch to inertial navigation.

And remember the story of Icarus...

whose father gave him wings, they flex.

Warned him not to fly too close to the sun.

But the exhilaration was too great.

So he flew higher and higher...

until the sun melted his wings...

and he fell into the sea.

The US Army is not an irresponsible father.

So they gave us wings to fight hot

Pennsylvania steel.

Guaranteed not to melt.

Oh wait, that's pretty, huh?

Let's take him low and level.

Fox Leader to Fox Group.

Clear up, survey as told.

Fox Seven, prepare set her on deck.

Copy Fox Leader. Proceedl to Zone Six.

Put us down over there.

Everyone else, stay with the team leader.

Gears, get it, Come on,

Let's move it!

READY SYSTEM:

Ready for seismic .

Roger that.

Fox Group, let it fly.

Copy all. Fox Three.

Heading 0-9-0.

Are you seeing what I seeing?

The seismic response is incredible.

Hey, Randy, you're not gonna believe this.

The bedrock,

It's practically hollow.

Incoming!

Look out!

On guard, Fox Five!

Fox Eight is down! Four Fox is down!
