One final assault

with everything we've got.

The Jaeger program is dead, marshal.

On the other hand, the coastal wall...

program is a promising option.

AMERICAN UN REP:
The world appreciates

all that you and your men have done...

...but it's over.

We will authorize you to take

all remaining Jaegers...

...to the last battle statio: Hong Kong.

We're prepared to fund you...

...for the next eight months

while the coastal wall...

...is completed.

After that, you will receive

no further support.

You have your answer, marshal.

TENDO:
So that's it?

It's over?

HERC:
Suits and ties, flashy smiles.

That's all they are, Stacker.

We don't need them.

(MAN 1 SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY

OVER PA)

FOREMAN:
Eight hundred more beams.

Ration cards, guys! Come on, come on!

Let's go!

Now, I got good news and I got

bad news, fellas. Which one...

- ...you wanna hear first?

- Bad news!

FOREMAN:
Bad news:

Three guys died yesterday

working the top of the wall.

MAN 2:
What's the good news?

FOREMAN:
The good news is...

...I got three new job openings.

Top of the wall.

Okay, who wants to work?

Who wants to eat?

Come on!

REPORTER:
(ON TV)

I am here in Sydney, where earlier today...

yet another Kaiju attack took place.

The Kaiju, an enormous Category 4...

...broke through the coastal wall...

...in less than an hour.

(ROARING)

The Wall of Life had been deemed

unbreachable by its builders.

MAN 3:
Why the hell...

...are we even building this thing?

That thing went through the wall

like it was nothing.

Ironically, it was...

...the recently decommissioned Jaeger,

Striker Eureka...

piloted by Herc...

...and Chuck Hansen that finally...

...took the beast down.

(PEOPLE CLAMORING)

(GROANING THEN ROARS)

(CAR ALARM WAILING)

CHUCK:
Look, they decommissioned

the Jaeger program...

...because of mediocre pilots.

It's that simple.

That's Striker Eureka's tenth kill

to date. It's a new record.

And you're still going to Hong Kong,

even at a time like this?

Well, orders are orders.

What else am I supposed to do?

REPORTER:
Chuck Hansen,

one of the pilots...

...of Striker Eureka...

...the Jaeger that took down the Kaiju.

PENTECOST:
Mr. Becket.

Marshal.

Looking sharp.

Long time.

Five years, four months.

Can I have a word?

RALEIGH:
Step into my office, marshal.

PENTECOST:
Took me a while to find you.

Anchorage, Sheldon Point, Nome...

RALEIGH:
Yeah, a man in my position...

...travels with the wall,

chasing shifts to make a living.

What do you want?

I've spent the last six months activating

everything I can get my hands on.

There's an old Jaeger, a Mark 3.

You may know it. It needs a pilot.

I'm guessing I wasn't your first choice.
