Took our mythic hero.

Did he come back?

His plane went down near Hamburg.

They searched for him for months but...

I suppose no man comes home from war.

Not really.

Mills, quit dickin' around.

I going off perimeter.

Colonel Packard...

this mission to the crash site

I understand going after your man.

But the rest of it...

This is beyond us

You do not like the way I'm running things?

Then you know where the door is.

You set this in motion

when you put this place on the map.

And I will not cut and run.

I know an enemy when I see it.

This man's name was Gunpei Ikari.

If you take away the uniforms...

and the war...

Then he became my brother.

And we swore

we'd never leave each other behind

Let's get off this island.

Not yet!

- Behind the lines.

- Yes.

Bind it up, Let's go!

Keep going!

Third time's the charm.

Here we go.

let's go. let's go.

Come on.

Yes.

Yes!

I guess this is good bye.

Thank you.

If you're ever in Chicago,

look me up, I guess.

Yeah, no. Let me, let me help.

A man has gotta do what...

Are you okay?

I'm Okay, I'm okay.

Allow me.

You should see me in the library.

I got a wife.

Had a wife.

Have a wife?

I guess I don't know anymore.

Got hitched right before I deplyed.

Got a telegram from her the day

before I got shot down.

She said we just had our baby boy.

I have a son out there.

Grown man I've never met

Yeah, she definitely thinks you're dead man.

Hey!

I'm just saying

You don't know that.

You'd be surprised how long people wait.

The truth is that

I do not expect him to be waiting.

That will be fine either way.

I just want one last chance to see them.

That would be good enough for me.

We are gonna get you home.

Fox Five, come back.

Is there anyone out there?

This is Fox Five. We hear you.

Yeah! We're on a boat...

- We're on a boat headed up north on river.

- A boat?

Where did you all get a boat?

We clean up, there is lika a crazy

Santa Clause, a time traveler.

Of World War II. You'll meet him.

What kind of boat?

It is more like a plane a boat really.

And it's called

We need that location Slivko.

Send up a flare so we could find you..

Roger that, Fox Five.

Fire in the hole!

There!

Yes!

I repeat, we have a visual.

2 clicks to our north.

Roger that, Fox Five. Fox One, out.

rendezvous point, in one hour.

Load up!

Can we fit everybody?

Yes!

We are going home!

Man Down!

What the hell, man?

He is gone.

Grab your gear. We have to keep moving.

We are going shore

No. Wait a minute!

Is nobody gonna say anything about the...?

He is gone!

And he ain't coming back.

There is nothing to say.

Oh my...

That flare was only 2 clicks north

They should be here soon.

Unless the were eaten by something

that's bigger than us.

F***!

Oh, sh*t.

Slivko!

I thought I'd not see you guys again.

- I thought you were crazy.

- I wish I had been.

- What's the count?

- What you see...

It is what we got.

We lost one too.

Good to see you fellas!

Who the hell is this?

Heads up to hitchhiker.

Lieutenant Hank Marlow

of the 45th suit sqaddron of the 15th.

You've been here since world war 2?

Yes sir. I missed the parade?

I'll be damned.

Lieutenant.

We're gonna get him home, sir.

We follow this river...

We'll make it to the boat,

we'll make it to the north shore in time.

That Sounds good.

But we're not leaving yet.

We still got a man out there, Conrad.

Wait a second. You got someone out there?

Chapman.

he is with the Down Sea Stallion,

Just west of it.

West? We can't go west!

That's where those skull things live.

We have a old saying here.

"East is best, west is worst!".

That's why we say it!

A little southwest...

We could talk about that

But we are gonna need a lot more guns

if we're gonna go west.

Guys. I think that we

should listen to Marlow.

This is crazy.

Hey.

Your job is find the lost men, right?

Okay, sir.

But if we reach that position,

and he is not there...

We don't send out a search party.

We're back here by nightfall, understood?

In 24 hours, we got to be

on the other side of this island.

Roger that. Hear you loud and clear.

You heard the man.

We're moving out in 10.

It's a good group of boys.

We are all gonna die together out here.

Good group of boys to die with.

I'll tell you that..

You should not have come to here.

when do you get to tell me

this is a bad idea?

This it a bad idea.

Yeah, you smell that?

It's death.

What the hell is this place?

This is what left of Kong's parents.

I have taken enough photos of mass graves,

to recognize one

The crash site is just only

other side of this valley

We'll cross through and

make it to the highest point west.

This place is a real no no, sir.

We need to be going to the

north side right now.

And you're welcome to do that, my man.

By your self.

I'm not leaving Jack out there.

Now, Who's with me?

We can make it.

We can make it.

Now stay sharp keep an eye out.

I've only got here 28 years. What do I know?

Cole...

Won't got time for that man.

Put the cigarette out.

Watch those fumes!

Idiots.

Let's go. We gotta move!

Run!

In Here!

Quite.

I told them to stand by

this was a no no.

Dammit.

Alright let's move.

Rather on me.

Somebody cover the civilians, quick

Let's Move!

Oh sh*t.

Randa!

Set up the 50!

Death before dishonor.

1045 Go!

Bring the torch! Do your thing!

Slivko!

Gas!

TOXIC GAS:

Marlow!

The sword!

Slivko, Hang on!

This thing is moving!

Now look, Colonel.

You may out rank me...

but I've been here a hell a lot longer.

And I'm telling you...

that thing there just shredded us

was only the first of them

Now we are on their turf...

... And we need to turn back!

Turn sweet.

Not as long as Chapman still out there.

I'm Sorry, Colonel Packard.

Chapman is dead.

Nothing changes then!

We're still going to that crash site.

What's that in the crash site

that you want so badly?

Weapons!

Enough to kill it.

Kong didn't kill Chapman.

But It did kill these men!

My men!

You can't kill Kong, Colonel.

Kong is God on this island.

It is the only thing

keeping that lizard things underground.

He's right, Colonel. We can't kill Kong.

And that other creature?

That's the threat.

And there are more of them down here.

If you take away

that species' natural competition

they will proliferate out of control.

Then we will end them too!

After we bring this thing down.

I can not let you do that.

Wait! Hold your fire.

This is one war, we're not gonna loose.

It's nuts!

You hear me? This is nuts!

Please! You need to listen to him!

We are not at war, Colonel.

You are making a mistake.

Your lies got my men killed!

- And you're gonna get us all killed.

- It's not our fight.

Whose side are you on, Captain?

Okay, Colonel.

You will find your Sea Stallion

3 click off that ridge

Now, I'm gonna take these civillians

back to the boat.

And we wait for you there.

Alright?

Saddle up!

Let's go kill this thing!
