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.

[upbeat music playing on earphones]

- - Shit!

Shit, shit, shit!

- Oh... - Maddie?

Good morning!

- Good morning, Mom! - Oh, God!

- Uh... - 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.

Doctor 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.

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!

Doctor 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, Doctor 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 Doctor Serizawa meant.

We have to go.

No one is implying that we would be

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

Doctor Serizawa, Doctor Graham,

this hearing is not adjourned.

Doctor 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.
