Godzilla: King of the Monsters

Andrew!

Andrew!

Andrew!

No!

Andrew!

No!

Thousands gathered in the Bay Area last night

to honor the victims of the 2014 attacks.

Part of a wave of memorials and protests demanding that the secretive

monster-hunting coalition known as Monarch be held accountable.

The recent spike in mass die-offs in the world's oceans

could be caused by efforts to locate and track Godzilla,

who hasn't been seen in over five years.

Top brass at the mysterious Monarch organization

will face another intense grilling as the government continues

to push for extermination of the Titans. And rumors persist

that Monarch may be hiding even more creatures discovered

since the attacks of 2014.

A historic tragedy that changed the world as we know it forever.

The day the world discovered that monsters are real.

Shit!

Shit, shit, shit!

Maddie?

Good morning!

Good morning, Mom! Oh, God!

Okay.

I made us breakfast.

It's, uh...

eggs, toast, and what was once bacon.

And which do you recommend?

The toast and eggs.

Thank you.

Coffee?

What were you working on?

Um, I was looking at recipes.

For toast?

Dad's been emailing me.

But he looks good.

Healthy.

Have you responded?

Not yet.

Madison, I just don't want to see you get hurt.

I know. Especially with everything

that's going on right now. Mom, I know.

Listen, I know things haven't been easy for you.

But we're gonna get through this.

Together.

You sure he's gonna be okay?

He is in the safest place that he could be right now.

You wanna hear some good news?

I finished it.

Really?

You think it's gonna work?

It's gonna work.

It's gonna be okay.

Dr. Russell, we need you in Containment.

I'm on my way.

What the hell happened? No idea.

She was sleeping like a baby until an hour ago, and then, boom.

Her radiation levels went through the roof.

Almost like something triggered it.

Thanks, Tim. You know,

I can take it from here. Why don't you get some rest?

No way. Sleep or no sleep, I'm not missing this.

Containment Team, move into primary position.

Sedatives? No effect.

This thing wants to be born.

Emergency protocol is in effect.

Ten seconds to biocontainment.

Her time has come.

Meet Titanus mosura.

Or as we like to call her...

Mothra.

Incredible.

Activating containment grid.

Warning. What's happening?

Warning. Something's really wrong here.

Containment systems are failing.

Perimeter alarms are going off, the whole network's going insane.

What do you mean? How is that possible?

Emma, I think someone else is doing this.

Containment Team, stand down.

I repeat, stand down. You are scaring her.

No! Dr. Russell, I'm sorry.

But you know the protocols. We have to terminate!

I'll handle this.

Mom! No!

Madison, stay here. It's gonna work.

Stand clear.

It's okay.

Mom!

Mom!

Maddie, wait!

Maddie!

Get back in here!

Maddie! Go back!

Mom! Let's go!

Mom!

Son of a bitch.

It worked.

Mom?

What we are witnessing here, Senators,

is the return of an ancient and forgotten super species.

Godzilla, the MUTOs, Kong.

We believe that these "Titans" and others like them

provide an essential balance to our world.

And while some may pose a threat,

Monarch is uniquely prepared to determine

which of these Titans are here to threaten us

and which of these Titans are here to protect us.

Thank you for the fifth grade history lesson, Mr. Coleman.

But we still haven't heard one good reason

why Monarch shouldn't fall under military jurisdiction.

Or why these creatures shouldn't be exterminated.

Monarch was tasked with finding and destroying

these radioactive monsters. But you either can't or won't tell us

how many there are or why they're showing up.

So, maybe it's time for the military to put them down.

Killing them would be a mistake.

They returned because of us.

It was our atomic testing that awoke Gojira.

Other creatures like the MUTOs from strip mining and seismic surveys.

But these are not monsters.

They are animals rising to reclaim a world that was once theirs.

It almost sounds like you're protecting them, Dr. Serizawa.

As if you admire them.

I admire all forms of life.

Senators, if we hope to survive,

we must find ways to coexist with Titans.

With Gojira.

A sort of symbiotic relationship, if you will.

Like the lion and the mouse.

Or the scorpion and the frog.

So you'd want to make Godzilla our pet?

No.

We will be his.

Uh... No. No, actually.

That's not what Dr. Serizawa meant.

We have to go. No one is implying that we would be

Sam, we have to go. Godzilla's or anyone's pet.

Dr. Serizawa, Dr. Graham, this hearing is not adjourned.

Dr. Serizawa, I hope you understand

the consequences of walking out that door.

Uh, you know what, Senators, while I confer with my colleagues here,

I'm gonna set you up with a very brief and pretty fun documentary

on Titan reproduction.

I think this is the one where the genitals are blurred out.

But if not, you can leave a comment with my assistant.

The feed cuts out there.

The survivors haven't been able

to give us much more than what the footage allows.

Only that Emma and Madison were the only ones taken.

I'm sorry, Mark.

I should've been there for her.

Who are they? We don't know yet.

We believe they were after this.

You didn't.

It's the ORCA.

That's why we think they need Emma.

She believed that if we could somehow replicate

the biosonar the Titans use to communicate

I know what the hell it is. I helped build the prototype.

Who is he?

Uh, Sam Coleman. I'm the head of technology.

I joined Monarch, uh, shortly after you left.

I'm a big fan of your wife's work. And you.

That just came out so weird, I'm sorry.

Emma and I destroyed the prototype.

And then Emma decided to rebuild it.

After San Francisco, she went home to Boston, spent years developing it.

She thought it could help...

Would help what? Play God?

No. Help prevent another attack.

ORCA was a grad school science project.

It was meant to keep whales away from the shoreline.

Not so you could talk to your little creatures out there.

Listen to me, they'll think it's one of them.

You use the wrong frequency on one of 'em,

and you're gonna be responsible for 1,000 San Franciscos.

Which is why we need to get it back.

Emma always said no one knew the ORCA better than you.

It shouldn't even exist.

That may be, Mark. But it's fallen into the wrong hands.

And right now, the ORCA is the only thing

keeping Emma and Madison alive.

Mark, we know you're hurting.

But if we find the ORCA, we'll find your family.

I promise.

When was the last time you spoke to Emma?

About three years ago.

After San Francisco

we went back home to Boston.

Tried to put the pieces back together.

Emma dealt with it by doubling down on saving the world

and I started drinking.

I can't tell you how much I hated myself for letting Maddie see me that way.

Uh, you mind if we cut in here?

It's just, you're gonna wanna see this.

Emma combined the bioacoustics

of different Titans to create the ORCA's signal.
