Battle Los Angeles Page #4

hitting the water at terminal velocity.

They're slowing down before impact.

These objects are falling into

the ocean in tightly packed clusters...

...10 miles outside

of a major population centre.

Thermal imaging

from the Hubble shows us...

...that within each cluster is a central

object much larger than the others.

Now, these central objects

are all the same geometric shape.

They appear mechanical in nature.

This is not a meteor shower, Marines.

We are in Threatcon Delta.

That's right.

Come on. All units, gear up.

Be ready to move.

Combat situation.

It's what I've been training for.

I am told that one of the Coast Guard

cutters has issued a mayday.

It is difficult to see, and...

Oh, my gosh!

There is just another meteor

that just hit the ocean...

...and it's the closest one yet,

right behind those cutters.

Two or three meteors just impacted.

Sh*t.

Do you have any more information

in the studio? Oh, my God.

Kate? Kate? Are you hearing us?

- Shut up, shut up, shut up!

- Kate, are you still hearing us?

Yes, Jean, I can hear you. Everyone,

move out. Get out of the way.

What is that?

What is that in the water?

I can't really get a good look,

but it appears there's something...

I'm looking through the people, trying

to determine exactly what this is.

I don't even know.

It's lik e shadowy figures.

Maybe five, six, seven.

I can mak e out maybe eight figures.

- What the hell is that?

- Holy sh*t!

- Look at that!

- Stavs, you see that?

I'm gonna head back now. Everyone

needs to get out of here right now.

I think that we've gotta leave, Jean.

I'm gonna head back now.

Oh, my God!

Go! Let's go. Go, go!

Corporal Grayston and Corporal lmlay

are both expert marksmen...

...as well as strong fire team leaders.

We also have PFC Lenihan,

who is our second best marksman...

...behind Lance Corporal Guerrero.

- What's your take on this, Specs?

I don't know. Extraterrestrial?

- Do you mean like from space?

- No, lmlay.

- From Canada.

- Always got jokes, don't you, Stav?

All right, first squad, line it up.

Bring it in. Let's go!

As you may have heard...

...Staff Sergeant Nantz will be

taking over for Staff Sergeant Beck.

We're lucky to have him aboard.

All right. Here's the situation, Marines.

We're facing an unknown enemy.

We don't know how strong their

force is or what they're capable of.

But one thing we do know

is that we're fighting for our land...

...our families, our home

and our country, goddamn it!

Whatever those things are, let's show

them how Marines fight. Retreat...

- Hell!

- Two-Five!

- Retreat, hell!

- Let's form it up, let's go!

First in, last out, Marines!

Breathe, Lenihan. Breathe.
