Monarch: Legacy of Monsters

Tim, do you copy? We found the rift.

We found Billy's rift.

Tim, is that you?

Tim, do you copy?

I think it's interference from the rift.

What do you think?

Yeah. It must be.

Kei.

Kei.

You all right?

I actually believed that Billy abandoned Hiroshi.

But he was just trying to put our family back together.

Well, that's because that's who he was.

And he also may have solved our problems for us.

His crazy anthill theory was right all along.

And he always said that all these rifts were connected somehow.

Well, now we know.

- Grand Central Station. - Yeah.

This must be where Titan X goes back to Axis Mundi.

Yeah. Oh, no, we got the right rift.

Thank you, Billy.

But we just need to figure out a way to get her here.

Come on, Kei, let's go. Let's go.

Move, move!

Come on!

Come on, let's go.

And just when you think it can't get any weirder…

Look out!

- You all right? - Yeah, yeah.

Did you see that?

They weren't even interested in us.

- It was like we're not even here. - No.

No, they're running away from something.

Come on, let's go.

Kong and Titan X are expendable if it means I can save Dad.

I found her. She's in the containment vault.

Copy that.

What do you mean, you can "save" him?

Is that what Isabel promised you?

That if you'd help her get to Axis Mundi,

you can magically go back in time and stop Dad from getting killed?

- It wasn't her idea. - She's using you.

She just wants to go there to make a profit.

That isn't true.

That's all Apex wants!

This is about what I want.

And if it meant saving Dad, I thought you'd understand too.

I wish Dad were still alive too, that I'd done something differently.

But you can't change the past.

Kentaro.

All right!

Just take it easy.

The levels are holding steady.

Good. Don't exceed where Brenda took it.

We need to keep everything stable until Kong shows up.

With that thing caterwauling out there, it won't be long now.

Let me out!

Wait.

I don't recognize that sound.

Where is it coming from?

That's the same chopper they used to snatch that Titan egg with.

That's an old Chinook.

That's where that creature call's coming from.

I don't know what that call is, but it's likely to attract Kong.

Yeah.

And if the last bearing we got off of that Titan tracker is correct,

it's heading right towards Titan X.

I'm worried about Cate and Kentaro.

How much farther is this place?

It shouldn't be more than a couple of klicks.

Why did Monarch abandon it?

Well, there was an incident in the '90s that involved

some Skullcrawlers and their attraction to the smell of sunscreen.

Monarch have any other personnel on the island?

At the moment, just us.

Wait.

I have an idea.

Isabel wants us back at base.

- Can't this thing go any faster? - If there was an actual road.

Do you know how much Kong weighs?

Well, I mean, we don't know exactly, but it's somewhere between 70 and 90,000 tons.

You know what happens when you get stepped on by something

that weighs 90,000 tons?

Geez.

- Please! - What's the holdup?

…a giant monkey and it's on a rampage and you guys are so screwed.

Hey, hands, hands, hands.

Put it down, put it down. Hands, hands.

Put it on the dashboard, on the dashboard.

- Put it on the dash! - Hey, don't do anything stupid.

Okay, all right.

You work for Isabel Simmons, right?

I'm just a geology PhD with a hundred grand in student debt.

Isabel's not paying me enough to take bullets for her.

What do you want?

Well, we're gonna take your ride.

Monarch ground team, come in.

Tim, how do you read? Over.

I think they're okay.

They're young, and tough and smart.

Most of the time.

Tell you one thing, there's a lotta you in Cate.

- You two. - Yeah.

Known each other for two weeks, I look up,

you want to charge down the beach toward a Titan.

You're like two peas in a pod.

I know you're not suicidal, so I have to ask,

did I miss something important?

Well, after you left Suzuki-sensei's place,

Cate and I…

Well, Cate connected with Titan X.

Here we go.

"Connected"?

Titan X emits an ultra-long wavelength vocalization,

and water acts as a conductor,

like whales can communicate over vast distances.

Like sonar?

Picked it up on Outpost 18.

Right. And…

Cate can hear it.

She's sensitive to it in a way that you and I aren't, and I don't know how or why,

but I was able to make a recording, using Dr. Suzuki's equipment,

of what it actually sounds like to Cate.

- You recorded it? - Yes.

You have this recording?

Yes. It's incredible, Lee.

It's the first indication that the Titans have a language,

that they can communicate.

Imagine what that can mean.

Yeah, I'm literally trying to.

Wait. What did I miss?

What do you mean?

Well, how did you get that tracker on Titan X?

Okay. When Suzuki and I were trying to locate Godzilla with his new device,

he inadvertently, kinda created this, like, quantum telephone.

And it connected me to myself in the past…

when I was in Axis Mundi.

Keiko!

Run! Run now!

So we were there…

at the same time.

And you knew?

You saw me?

I was waiting for you.

Why didn't you come to me?

Why? We could have found a way out together.

Kei, the only way I knew for sure that you'd survive

and get back safely

was if I just let things happen the way they already had.

That wasn't your choice.

It was my choice to make.

It was my life, it was my future,

and you decided it for me.

What would you have done?

You had no right.

You had no right!

All of this time.

You don't know what could have been.

I could have been there for Hiroshi.

I could have had years with him.

He could still be alive.

That's a lot of "couldas."

The neuromuscular response is erratic.

The Titan is resisting it.

I mean, we were expecting that.

It wasn't happy about it last time either.

It didn't have an egg to protect then.

That's true.

You all right?

Is this really necessary?

Kong's ETA, six minutes.

There has to be some other way.

Kentaro, if the animal outside is more important than your father,

you need to tell me right now.

Okay? Because Kong is about to be here in five minutes and 26 seconds.

Shit.

Shaw, do you copy?

Dr. Randa?

I just had them.

This island…

Well, if they were headed east, then they should be right about here.

Stop, stop, stop!

Wait, wait. Stop.

You look like hell.

Good to see you too, May.

- Where did you guys get these? - Well,

it was abandoned at gunpoint.

We stole it from the dipshits that work for Isabel Simmons.

Simmons? As in Apex.

Cate and Kentaro are with them.

Yeah.

They set up camp at a decommissioned Monarch base

at the end of this valley.

But wait, there's more.

They have the Titan.

Well, if you know where the Titan is, we've got a rift.

Let's go to work.

Wait, wait. What do you…

You found the rift? Is it active?

It seems dormant,
