Godzilla Page #3

Synopsis: In 1999, the Janjira nuclear plant was mysteriously destroyed with most hands lost including supervisor Joe Brody's colleague and wife, Sandra. Years later, Joe's son, Ford, a US Navy ordnance disposal officer, must go to Japan to help his estranged father who obsessively searches for the truth of the incident. In doing so, father and son discover the disaster's secret cause on the wreck's very grounds. This enables them to witness the reawakening of a terrible threat to all of Humanity, which is made all the worse with a second secret revival elsewhere. Against this cataclysm, the only hope for the world may be Godzilla, but the challenge for the King of the Monsters will be great even as Humanity struggles to understand the destructive ally they have.

...to the house...

...l can show you and the world this was

not from a natural disaster. This was--

Dad!

Your mom's out there, Ford.

To me...

...she'll always be there.

They evacuated us so quickly.

I don't even have a picture of her.

This has to stop.

You know I did everything I could.

You know that, right?

Let me take you home.

Come home with me.

I got a little boy who's desperate

to see his grandpa.

We can leave tomorrow.

What are you doing?

I'm heading back out there, Ford.

- No. I don't think so.

- One hour, in and out.

I have to go!

I came back here and wasted six years...

...staring through that barbed wire,

thinking it was...

...a military mistake or some horrible

design flaw they were covering up.

One day...

...l met a guy who runs

a cargo boat offshore.

Every day he goes right past

the reactor site.

So he places a couple frequency monitors

on buoys for me.

Two weeks ago...

I check this thing like every other day

just for the kick.

Two weeks ago, I'm tuning in...

...and, oh, my God...

...there it is.

Whatever "it" is that's in there.

Whatever it is they're guarding

so carefully...

...started talking again.

And I mean talking.

Ha, ha.

I have to go back...

...to our house.

I need my old disks, if

they're still there.

I need the data to be able to prove

a baseline here...

...that this isn't a fantasy,

that I'm not what you think I am.

I'm gonna find the truth...

...and end this.

Whatever it takes.

Why can't you just let it rest?

Because I sent her down there, son.

This wasn't just a reactor meltdown.

I don't wanna hear this.

I know. I know you don't.

But you can't keep running away.

And, son, you can't bury this in the past.

What spooked them?

Dad, come on. Let's go.

It's only another two blocks.

Dad!

Are we going home, or what?

Whoa! Hey, what are you doing?

Dad?

It's clean.

I knew it.

The radiation in this place should

be lethal, but there's nothing.

Thank God.

Are they rebuilding the plant?

I don't know. I haven't seen--

Ten seconds. Ten seconds.

Seven-point-two seconds

and getting stronger.

We're trending exponentially.

That's our new curve.

Jesus, it's worse than we thought.

Excuse me, Dr. Serizawa?

Two men were just arrested

in the Q-zone.

We've got bigger problems here.

Have Dr. Graham take a look.

She did, sir. She sent me.

One of them says

he used to work here, doctor.

You are not fooling anybody...

...when you say that

what happened 15 years ago...

Found these disks in his bag.

...was a natural disaster.

Not sure what to make of them.

Not an earthquake, it wasn't a typhoon.

Okay? So stop--

Look, I'm tired of talking to you
