Monarch: Legacy of Monsters

Where have you been?

Taking a walk.

By yourself?

Who else would I be with?

What's that?

Just a sketch.

Show me.

May I take one?

Beer?

That's rare.

- Kampai. - Kampai.

Tomorrow we'll know…

if this was all worth it or not…

when we get Cate back.

A week,

or a month,

there's still a good chance Cate would be alive.

But it's been two years.

It may not be two years.

What does that mean?

What if,

time doesn't work the same way there?

What if a year can pass in a day?

Why would you believe something like that?

After G-Day,

when I disappeared for that year,

I told you this before, but I went to Alaska,

to prove my parents' theories.

There,

I found a rift.

You went in…

It was a day,

two days at most…

when I finally came out, in Africa,

it was a year later.

Why did you hide this until now?

I wanted to protect you and…

I didn't want you to follow me.

But we've had this time.

Working together in this mad place--

I was happy.

Thanks to you,

Thanks to you, I got that year back.

Excuse me.

Do you know if this is the funeral for Hiroshi Randa?

Yeah, this is…

Zook?

Is this possible?

You know we're gonna have to talk sooner or later.

I keep thinking.

It's unfair that you didn't get the chance to say good-bye to him.

I wish…

I wish I could undo what happened.

If I knew that he was coming--

If you knew?

The hell did you think was gonna happen? It's a Titan, Cate.

Tell me what you were doing down there.

I don't know. I couldn't control it.

I don't know what's happening to me.

You have to trust me.

Dad would want us to figure this out together.

You've lost your mind.

Dad's dead.

Is everything okay?

No. No, everything is not okay here.

The world is under a Titan alert,

and no one has the faintest idea of what to do.

Do you? Does Monarch?

How long before Godzilla shows up and cleans up Cate's mess?

Kentaro,

I know you're in a lot of pain.

But no matter who's to blame,

fighting won't bring your father back.

Kentaro.

We'll leave first.

Kentaro.

Kei, an old friend would like to say hello.

Dr. Suzuki.

Dr. Randa.

Major Shaw tried to explain it to me, but seeing it…

You should be as old as I am, and yet, look at you.

I know it's a lot to take in.

I wish it were for a different reason,

but I'm so happy to see you both.

You must be Cate.

Hiro's told me so much about you.

Wait, I didn't realize you two kept in touch.

More than that. He'll come to Hateruma often.

You know, if it wasn't for what this man created at Hateruma,

none of us would be here.

You should see it sometime, Cate.

Well, why not come now?

We wouldn't want to impose, no.

No, please. I'll be honored.

I don't know. Until Monarch gets a hit on that Titan,

that might bring us all some peace.

Trade stories about Hiro.

I'm not sure waiting around here for it to show up is helping anybody.

Please.

Keep it safe, Hiro.

I'm gonna find a way to set things right. I promise.

Day one.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning, Dr. Miura, Mr. Randa.

Good morning.

Alice. I'm Mr. Randa's new secretary.

Really?

Of course.

Your secretary just went out to get some pastries, Dr. Miura.

She'll be back soon.

Oh, okay.

It's very thoughtful.

Okay. This way to the new Monarch offices.

Your office is just through here, Doctor.

Here we go.

Holy moly.

Yours is right next door, Mr. Randa.

It's almost as nice as this one.

Yeah.

"Don't screw this up. General Puckett."

- The man has a way with words. - Yeah.

Can you believe it?

Monarch on three continents.

You know, your photos of the Titan are what got us all these outposts.

I cannot wait to get back out in the field.

At least unpack before we start planning

- the next expedition. - Yeah.

Plus, we don't know how long until the Titan shows up again.

What is that?

Hiro did it for the new offices.

We decided to call it Hiro-saurus. What do you think?

Knock knock.

- Hey, look at you, full regalia. - Yeah. Yeah.

Well, a fancy place like this. I figured I had to dress up.

Hi, Lee.

Kei.

You wanna help us christen the place?

Actually, if you will indulge me,

I'd like to make a toast.

Yeah.

Six years ago, when I first met you.

My first thought was,

these two are going to get themselves killed.

And then I eventually realized

that, actually, you were more likely to get me killed.

But now it's very obvious

that you are not only very capable of keeping yourselves safe,

but you are probably going to save us all one day.

So, cheers.

It's a nice toast, but why do I feel like I'm getting broken up with?

Bad poker face, huh?

Well…

I've been reassigned.

- What? - No.

That is ridiculous. I am calling Puckett right now.

Hold on, no, don't. I've already talked to the General.

He's the one who approved my request.

- Your request? - Yeah.

Yeah, he's getting his third star and he offered me a position on his staff.

Well, I guess I just always thought we'd see this thing through together.

It won't be the same without you, Lee.

Guys, I'm relocating to Maryland, not the moon.

Look, we don't give a hoot about the logistics, Lee.

I thought you were happy here.

It's not about whether I'm happy or not, Billy.

It's about what's best for all of us.

So,

to Monarch.

May?

Hey.

I'm sorry that I wasn't at the funeral.

And I figured that maybe I wasn't welcome there.

And I don't know, after everything that happened,

I also understand if I'm not welcome here.

I can…

You haven't spoken to Cate?

No. No, I came here first.

I wanted to see how you were holding up.

I don't want to talk about it. Let's get a drink.

Put that away.

You're not reporting to me.

Dad.

How long has it been? Three years? Four?

- Five. - Five years.

- Yeah. - Hot damn.

- Yeah. - Well, you better get in here.

- We got a lot of catching up to do. - Yeah.

I can't believe I'm stationed at the same place with my son.

It's a tight-knit community here.

Hell, I know half the senior officers in this place. It's basic.

- You'll be well taken care of. - What are you doing?

Well, to celebrate your new assignment.

No, no, it's my first day tomorrow.

You can't have one drink at eight o'clock at night?

No, I just wanna be sharp. I wanna be my best.

You're right.

Hell, I know how much Puckett's approval means to you.

Okay, fine. One. One drink.

Fine with me. This stuff wasn't cheap.
