Two:

Don't you ever touch me again.

Now, you have no idea who the hell

I am or where I've come from...

...and I'm not about to tell you

my whole life story.

All I need to be to you

and everybody on this dome...

...is a fixed point.

The last man standing.

I do not need your sympathy

or your admiration.

All I need is your compliance

and your fighting skills.

And if I can't get that...

...then you can go back to the wall

that I found you crawling on.

Do I make myself clear?

Yes, sir.

Good.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

(CHATTERING STOPS)

RALEIGH:
I'm sorry.

I should've warned you.

First Drifts are rough.

But you weren't just tapping

into my memories...

...you were tapping into my brother's...

...too.

When Yancy was taken,

we were still connected.

I felt his fear, his pain,

his helplessness...

...and then...

...he was gone.

I felt it. I know.

You know, you live in someone else's

head for so long...

...the hardest part to deal with

is the silence.

To let someone else in,

to really connect...

...you have to trust them.

And today the Drift was strong.

Her heart.

When's the last time you saw it?

RALEIGH:
Not in a long time.

AI:
Movement in the Breach.

Double event.

Two signatures.

Dilation indicator, Category 4.

(ROARING)

RALEIGH:
Excuse me.

TENDO:
Breach was exposed...

...at 2300 hours.

We have two signatures...

...both Category 4s.

Code names:
Otachi and Leatherback.

They'll reach Hong Kong

within the hour.

Evacuate the city.

Shut down the bridges.

I want every single civilian

in a refuge right now.

Crimson Typhoon...

Chemo Alpha...

...I want you to frontline the harbor.

Stay on the miracle mile.

Striker, I want you to stay back,

look after the coastline.

We cannot afford to lose you,

so only engage as a final option.

BOTH:
Yes, sir!

You two.

You stay put.

Let's go!

CHUCK:
Loccent, Striker's got the ball...

...and we're on the roll.

Loccent...

...near positions...

...and awaiting your orders.

PENTECOST:
Remain in the miracle mile.

Engage at your discretion.

Guys, keep your eyes open.

These Category 4s are the biggest

we've ever seen, both in size and weight.

A. KAIDANOVSKY:
Cherno Alpha

reaching target zone.

Disengaging transport.

(COMPUTER BEEPING)

Cherno Alpha in position. Miracle mile.

Chemo Alpha holding the coastline.

Beacon is on.

(PEOPLE CHANTING IN CANTONESE)

HANNIBAL:
Look at them.

They believe the Kaiju

were sent from heaven.

That the gods are expressing their

displeasure with our behavior.

The silly bastards.

And what do you believe?

Well...

...I believe that Kaiju bone powder

is 500 bucks a pound.

- What do you want?

- I need to access...

...a Kaiju brain. Completely intact.

No, no. The skull plate is so dense

that by the time you drill into it...

The brain's rotted away.

But I'm talking...

...about the secondary brain.

Now we both know

that the Kaiju are so large...

...they need two brains to move

around, like a dinosaur.

I want to get my hands on that.

Mm. What the hell do you want

a secondary brain for, anyway?

I mean, every part of the Kaiju sells.

Cartilage, spleen, liver.

Even the crap!

One cubic meter of crap

has enough phosphorous in it...

...to fertilize a whole field!

But the brain...

Too much ammonia.

So, what's the deal, little fella?

Well, that's classified.

So I couldn't tell you.

Even if I wanted to.

- Mm.

- But it is pretty cool.

Sol might tell you.

I'm gonna tell you.

I figured out how to Drift

with a Kaiju.

Are you funning me, son?

It's fascinating how their minds work.

Every single Kaiju...

...his mind's connected.

The species has, like...

Like a hive mind.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

Holy jeez.

You've gone and done it, haven't you?

I did it a little bit, yeah.

You goddamn moron.

(A. KAIDANOVSKY SPEAKING IN RUSSIAN)

HERC:
Loccent! Typhoon...

...and Alpha are in trouble.

We're moving in!

You are to hold your ground.

Do not engage.

We need you to carry that bomb.

Do you copy?

(ROARING)

CHUCK:
Jesus, we can't just sit here...

...and watch them die. Come on!

Screw this.

Loccent, we're moving in...

...now!

S. KAIDANOVSKY:
(IN RUSSIAN)

A. KAIDANOVSKY:
(IN RUSSIAN)

(CHITTERING THEN SCREECHING)

we've been hit with some type of acid!

CHUCK:
Come on!

A. KAIDANOVSKY:
Hull has been compromised.

We need backup immediately!

HERC:
Just hold on, Chemo!

We're on our way!

(ROARING)

A. KAIDANOVSKY:
(IN RUSSIAN)

HERC:
Our power move! Yeah!

(GASPING AND MUFFLED SCREAMS)

(COMPUTER BEEPS)

TENDO:
We just lost Chemo, sir.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

HERC:
Engaging...

...air missiles!

(BOTH GROANING)

(POWERING DOWN)

GOTTLIEB:
What's going on? What happened?

The blast. It jumbled all the Jaegers'

electrical circuits.

What the hell was that?

I've never seen that before.

- Loccent!

GOTTLIEB:
- They're adapting.

This isn't a defense mechanism,

it's a weapon!

Get me Striker.

Nothing, sir. The Mark 5's digital's fried.

It'll take me two hours to reroute the auxiliary.

All the Jaegers, they're digital!

RALEIGH:
Not all of them, marshal.

Gipsy's analog. Nuclear.

We got two Kaijus.

We gotta get out. This way.

Hang on a second. Excuse me.

What's going on?

There are two goddamn Kaiju

headed straight for Hong Kong City.

NEWT:
No, that's not possible.

There's never been two before.

Well, maybe that's because nobody ever

Drifted with one before, eh? Genius!

When Jaeger pilots Drift,

it's a two-way street.

A bridge, right?

It sets up a connection.

Both ways!

"A hive mentality," you said!

Maybe those Kaiju are trying to find you.

What're we gonna do?

I'm gonna wait out this shitstorm

in my own private Kaiju bunker.

But you are going to a public refuge.

I tried it once.

Once.

Now get the hell out of here.

(GUNS COCK)

(SIREN WAILING)

(PEOPLE CLAMORING)

(GRUNTS THEN GROANING)

(KAIJU ROARING)

Move! Move! I'm a doctor! I'm a doctor!

Okay, hold on. Let me in.

Okay, I'm a doctor. Okay, let me in,

I'm a doctor.

- There's no emergency power.

- We gotta bail.

- I'm gonna try something else.

- No!

Don't disengage!

(YELLS)

My arm!

Come on! Get on your feet, old man!

Don't call me that!

CHUCK:
He's right outside.

We gotta get out of here now!

HERC:
We're not going anywhere!

Now you and I are the only thing

standing between that ugly bastard...

...and a city of 10 million people.

Now we have a choice here.

We either sit and wait...

...or we take these flare guns

and do something really stupid.

(GROWLING)

CHUCK:
How's your arm?

HERC:
Ah, just give me the gun.

Hey, you!

(ROARING)

I think we just pissed it off!

(HELICOPTERS WHIRRING)

All right, Mako.

Get ready, this is for real!

HERC:
Yeah!

CHUCK:
Come on, Gipsy!

Kick his ass!

(SCREECHING)

Come on!

Let's do this! Together!

Elbow rocket!
