Three km west of

Jesus! I never saw anything like it!

Roger.

Is that a monkey?

What the hell is that?

Somebody talk to me, man.

Turn right to 2-5-0.

Visual contact.

Fox Leader to Fox Group.

Pull out now. Pull out.

I don't take orders from you!

Get us the hell out of here!

Fox Nine is down!

Fox Six, we got trouble.

We are going down.

1 klik north of the river bed.

Insert recovery team.

Fox Five is hovering.

We got men going out the door.

I need help here. I need...

Calling all units! Is anybody airborne?

I repeat, is anybody airborne?

They're all down. Everyone.

We are on the south side of the island.

There is a river a couple

of klicks from here.

If we sticks to its bank,

we make it to the EXFIL

site on the north shore.

And then what? All our choppers are down.

We'll find a way to signal the ship.

They'll send a search party.

We just have to make it by the exit window.

I should be sitting at a desk.

are we just not gonna talk about this?

My best guess is

we're scattered over 4 to 5 miles radius.

We must head north and join anyone we find.

Are you alright?

I don't know how to answer

that question right now.

I don't know what that was either.

All that money that they paid you?

I hope you're worth it.

You really not gonna talk about it?

You know, this is not normal, right?

Stuff like that doesn't just happen!

This is Fox Leader to Fox group.

Anybody with ears,

need respond.

Flex, Chapman.

Fox Six, Chapman.

Say again your last.

4 klicks west, the highest peak in..

November Alpha 3-0-0.

Out.

Roger that, Chapman.

West highest mountain peak.

Oliver.

Fox Six confirmed, we're the Sea Stallion.

Chapman, hold your position.

We will go to you. There is not

on that sea stallion to kill this thing.

How you even got an appetite right now?

Eating for living.

We just got taken down by a monkey

That was an unconventional encounter.

Is that all your brain

telling yourself right now?

There was No tactical precedents.

We did the best we could in the situation.

Griffin. Cole.!

Thank God you guys are okay!

Good to see you, sir..

How many left?

Seven survivors.

Seven confirmed KIA.

Slivko, and the rest are Unknown.

Where is Randa?

How you doing?

I'm fine. Thank you.

Good.

Glad to hear it. I was worried about you.

You are going to tell me

everything I do not know...

or I'm gonna blow your head off.

Monsters exists.

No sh*t.

Nobody believed me.

Yesterday, I was a crackpot.

But today.

So, This was never about geology.

You dropped those charges

to flush something out.

Who are you?

You heard of the USS Lawton?

Neither did the public

Out of the thousand young men on the ship

I was the only survivor.

They told my family she

was sunk in battle...

but I know what I saw.

It had no conscience.

No reasoning, just destroy

I spent the last 30 years...

trying to prove the truth of what

I learned that day.

This planet doesn't belong to us.

ancient species owned this

earth long before mankind.

And if we keep our heads

buried in the sand...

they will take it back

My agency is known as Monarch.

We specialize in the hunt for

massive unidentified terrestrial organisms

You knew that thing was out here?

Sorry for your men, Colonel. I truly am.

Get us home with proof.

So we can send the cavalry.

I'm the cavalry.

It's called the Hollow Earth Theory.

Randa hired me...

because I wrote paper...

Substantiating what most people think

is a crackpot idea.

That there is this massive

underground species

- Isolated from the surface world.

- Has it ways.

Randa believed this island

may be one of those.

An emergence point for whatever lives below.

ancient species like what we just saw.

I thought he was out of his mind.

This is Slivko, do you read?

Anybody out there?

We are headed north of the ex fil location

Everyone here seems way too calm right now.

You copy?

Anybody?

We're out of range,

Slivko.

Sh*t.

Save it for when we get closer to the group.

Nobody move.

Easy.

- Silvko.

- What?

Put it down.

These men did not die in vain.

I swear to God...

Their deaths will not go unanswered.

Now, Let's get to Chapman

and those munitions.

You ever heard of the story of the

mouse, lion and the Thorn?

Yeah.

There you go then.

In case we have see that primate again.

You do know that the story is about a mouse

who turn a friend with a lion...

after taking out the thorn

out of his paw, right?

No it's not.

The mouse kills the lion with the thorn.

Who told you that, Cole?

My mother.

That actually explains a lot.

Watch out those tree!

- Let's go come on!

- What is that?

Watch your six!

Up In the trees!

Cole!

No!

We got you!

I can't get a shot!

Cut off the legs!

I have you!

Take it out, guys! Move out

Stay tight

What the hell is this?

Go, Behind you!

Stay Calm.

Conrad.

Stay back!

Guys.

Nobody shoot! Nobody shoot.

No. No need for that.

Come on now!

Everybody keep your wigs on now!

What?

I did not believe it

when they said you would come.

I was up all night...

Just thinking about how me and Gunpein

dreamt to this moment.

And now Here it is.

Twenty-eight years, 11 months...

8 failed attempts to get back to the world

and instead, the world comes to me?

Ain't that a fact?

They Never smile.

Did you Crash here?

Sorry miss.

Lt. Hank Marlow of the 45th.

You are more beautiful..

Than A hot dog and a beer...

At Wrigley Field on opening day.

But you are real.

Right?

I told you. Did not I tell you?

I Said...

"It's fine".

There you go.

There's something out there, man.

There is a lot out there.

Now, Come on. We gotta get home.

You don't want to be out here at night.

You probably noticed a lot of weird things

on this Island

As long as we stay in here,

where the people live, we'll be alright.

That wall...

Is that supposed to keep out that thing?

No, he's not the one

we're trying to keep out.
