Whoa!
Good day. I am here with permission... I have a, a..
A permit? Damn! How do you say "permit"? I have a permit.
- Dr. Niko Topopolosis? - It's Tatopoulos.
Kyle Terrington. I'm with the U.S. State Department.
- What are they doing? - You're being reassigned.
But my work here isn't finished.
It is now.
PAPEETE - TAHITI
There's pressure from the Americans.
What have you told them?
Nothing yet.
Are there any survivors?
Only one, sir. He was lucky.
Get them out.
Ask him what happened.
What did you see, old man?
Gojira...Gojira...
GOJIRA!!
GULF OF DEN SAN MIGUEL, PANAMA. 45 km outside of La Paz
That's affirmative.
Hey, where you going with my stuff?
Hello?
Hey!
Hello. Hello. That's very delicate.
Thank you.
Dr. Niko Topodopeles?
- It's Tatopoulos. - Whatever.
Come on, get these people off the pier.
Excuse me Sir, would you mind telling me what am I doing here?
Watch your step and don't talk to anybody.
Come on, get them off the damn pier!
What is all this, some kind of spill?
Yeah, Something like that.
Look, I work for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission...
but accidents and spills are not my field.
We know.
Do you know that you interrupted a three year...
...study of the Chernobyl earthworm?
Yeah, you're the worm guy, right?
Radioactive contamination in that area...
...has mutated the earthworm's DNA.
You know what that means?
No. But I gotta feeling, I'm about to find out.
It means that because of a man-made accident...
Chernobyl earthworms are now 17% larger than they were before.
17%, huh? Sounds pretty big.
They're enormous. That's what I'm trying to say.
I'm a biologist. I take radioactive samples and I study them.
That's great. Here's your sample.
- Study it. - What sample?
- You're standing in it. - I don't see it.
Where is it?
I don't see it.
Colonel! Colonel!
That was a footprint! I was standing inside of a footprint.
That's right.
But, there's no animal in the world that makes...
...footprints like that, is there?
I told them this is not your field,
but they never listen to genius.
Nick, this is Elsie Chapman of the National institute of Paleontology.
She's your boss.
- Those were footprints, Right? - Yes, they were.
- Anybody see what made them? - Actually, no such luck.
It happened so fast,
Nobody knew what hit them until it was over.
- Elsie? - Yeah?
Tape's in. The French finally released it.
This is a Japanese cannery ship,
that was attacked and sunk near French Polynesia.
We believe it's connected. By the way Dr. Craven,
have you met the "worm guy"?
Oh, sorry. Summer cold.
Gojira...Gojira...
Gojira...
Hey, Come on, come on! All right?
Have a nice day.
Oh, wait, wait, wait! wait, wait!
They saying It's supposed to rain like this all week.
What's with the bags? huh?
Caiman's groceries.
Oh, girl!
- Speak of the devil. - What?
This is the midget version.
This makes me look like a trained professional.
Can we put this on the 5:00, please?
- You think I should ask him? - No!
- I'm gonna ask him. - No!
- I will. - Audrey.
- Did you talk with Humphries? - This is not the place.
Just tell me, Did you talk with him?
He said he'd consider it. It's between you and Rodriguez.
You serious? He's gonna consider me for the job? What else did he say?
Why don't we talk about it over dinner tonight? Your place.
Mr. Caiman, you're married.
Yes, and you're very beautiful. Have I ever told you that before?
Mr. Caiman!
I've been doing research for you,
after hours and weekends for over three years.
This is a very important job to me.
I'm too old to be your assistant anymore.
I need to know this job is going someplace.
So, have dinner with me tonight.
I can't.
It's your choice.
- Okay, let's go. - Charlie?
Say hello to your new co-anchor, Ms. Disiree Pon.
Hello Disiree, Welcome aboard.
- Mark, - Allright.
Can I have a pillow or something?
In five. Four. Three. Two.
Hello, New York. Today at 5:00 we'll ask Fat Pat, "When will this rain end?"
GREAT PEDRO BLUFF, JAMAICA.
So three years digging up worms in Chernobyl? Was it?
How did Mrs. Tata-polis handle that?
It's Tatopoulos. I'm actually not married.
Really? A girlfriend?
No. Perhaps I work too much.
So, You mean to tell me there's no one,
who holds a special place in your heart?
No. Not for a long time now.
Well, you may be the wrong man for the job...
but I think you're cute.
Oh. Thank you.
She thinks I'm cute.
Who the hell are they?
Get those people out of there.
They're with me.
Is that right?
Who are you?
Chargeures, Casualty and Property insurance.
- We're preparing our report. - You're pretty damn fast.
That's our job.
Your people are getting in the way of my job.
Colonel, what do you think could've done this?
Listen Mr. Roache, You get your people out of here...
or I will.

EASTERN SEABOARD, UNITED STATES
- Captain's getting a cup of coffee. - Don't take too long.
- Then he'll come and kick your ass. - Yeah! I'm in for a buck.
What the hell is that dope-head doing?
Artie!
Artie, what the hell is wrong. why are we slowing down?
I don't know. She's at full throttle.
Maybe she's heavy in the net.
Yo! How come we stopped? Are the nets full?
I don't think so. We must be caught on something.
Bring in the nets. Bring 'em up. Pull 'em in now.
- What's going on? - We're bringing them in !
The engines are heating.
- Should I shut them down? - No! Keep pulling!
Come on! Bring 'em!
I'm trying. I'm trying!
Cut 'em loose! Cut 'em loose! Cut the net!
Look out!
Cut loose now!

MILITARY TRANSPORT PLANE
Colonel, Excuse me sir.
Just got a report of three fishing trawlers going down.
- What makes you think it's related? - The trawlers were pulled under, sir.
Jesus Christ!
It's only 200 miles oft the Eastern American seaboard,
and we don't know what the hell it is.
- It's Theropoda Allosarus. - What?
Some type of enormous reptile we believe died out in the Cretaceous Period.
So, where's it been hiding the last 60 million years?
What about the traces of radiation?
The radiation isn't an anomaly. It's the clue.
This animal is much too big to be some kind of lost dinosaur.
Don't tell me what it isn't, tell me what the hell it is.
What do we know?
It was first sighted...
off the French Polynesian Pacific, right?
That area has been exposed to dozens of...
...nuclear tests over the past 30 years.
Hence the radiation.
No, more than that. I believe this is a mutated aberration.
A hybrid caused by the fallout on these islands.
Like your earthworms?
Yes. Yes.
We're looking at a completely incipient creature.
The dawn of a new species.
The first of its kind.
NEW YORK, MANHATTAN ISLAND.
My life sucks.
Oh, please! Your life doesn't suck. His life sucks.
'Cause I'm married to you.
I cannot believe he put the moves on me.
after everything I've done for him.
He is scum! As far as he's concerned,
you're a pair of breasts that talk.
Hey, there's an image.
I'm telling you he's dirt.
He's a douche bag, gutter slime, dog crap, puke chunks.
Hey, hey! I'm eating here! You don't see I'm eating?
Audrey, you're too damn nice.
That's your problem. Nice gets you nothing in this town.
It's dog eat dog. You gotta be a killer to get ahead.
Know what I'm saying?
I'm sorry, baby, but you just don't got what it takes.
You don't think that's true, do you, Animal?
Yeah, Pretty much.
You're a nice person. You know. Nice guys finish last.
Well, I can be tough if I want.
Yeah, sure.
I can!
- I can. - No, yeah. No.
Whatever.
Oh, my God!
Could you turn that up, please?
- It's Nick! - Who is he?
He was my college sweetie.
He looks so handsome on TV.
There seems to be an unusually tight...

Fellas, you want to unload this, please? I'm getting soaked!
Come on, will ya?

Hey Joe, gonna catch one of them little fish in the East River?
I hope so.
But, you never know.
I mean, today could be my lucky day.
The only thing you're gonna catch is a cold!

Boy, do I have a bite!
Hold on, Joe. You got a big one, baby. Hold on to it now.

Your mayor, Mayor Ebert!
Thank you! Thank you!
I want to thank all of you for coming out,
on this beautiful New York City day!
When I first came into office four years ago...
people didn't think that I would reduce crime.
But I did!
Oh, my God!
Move it! Let's get out of here!
I am grateful for the fact we're getting a new set.
I know that represents a commitment on the part management.
Here's I don't understand.
Why we're the only station in town...
that doesn't have the Korean grocery hold up as our lead.
I mean what's our lead? Rain ! Again!
Mom?
Sorry. I just don't give a rat's ass about a war...
in some country whose name I can't even pronounce!
How about a real story?
S...S...Sir,
I think your story just walked by the window.
What?
Maybe we can get in the Korean grocer's hospital room.
Did this Romeo have a name?
Nick Tatopoulos.
Jesus! Is that why you dumped him?
No.
How long did you guys go out for, anyway?
Nearly tour years.
Hhh. Girl, I'm surprised he didn't ask you to marry him.
Well, That's the problem.
He did.
Tell me that's not another parade.
I don't think that's a parade.
Please stand by...
What the hell is that?
Are you all right? Are you cut? you all right?

- Don't be stupid! - Oh, my!

Somebody do something!
NEW JERSEY STREETS
What's going on!
Watch it!
- Let them through. - Move it!
MOBILE COMMAND CENTER, NEW JERSEY.
Sergeant O'Neal, sir!
Any word from the mayor's office?
Yes, sir. They've agreed to evacuate the city,
They called out the National Guard.
Wait. Evacuate Manhattan? That's over three million people.
- Has that ever been done before? - I don't think so.
- Where is he now? - We.. We lost sight of it, sir.
You want to run that by me again?
After its initial attack...
he...disappeared.
Secretary of Defense Burk is on the line.
I don't understand. How could something so big just disappear?
- We're not sure, but we're scanning.. - He probably returned to the river.
I don't think so. I mean, look at it.
It's perfect.
An island, water on all sides,
but like no other island in the world.
This is a place where he can easily hide.
He's in there someplace.
Channel 12 caught it on tape.
Hello. I'm Charles Caiman in the WIDF News Center, and
Ladies and gentlemen, We New Yorkers like to think..
we've seen it all, but what you going to see
right now will shock you beyond belief.
This is footage we have that indicates... that...
there is a dinosaur loose in Manhattan.
WIDF's exclusive footage was shot barely half an hour ago.
WIDF Cameraman Victor 'Animal' Palotti survived unharmed...
Great stuff, Animal. Weren't you scared?
Yeah. I thought Lucy was gonna kill me.
Damn right, you crazy Wop!
Okay, people, we have to be completely relocated...
to the New Jersey station for the 10:00 broadcast.
Animal!
You're riding in the chopper with Caiman. Now, Let's go. Lift off.
You going to be all right?
Yeah, Audrey's going to spend the night with us.
Cool. A threesome. That's excellent.
I'm a little tired...
Dozens of people are reported killed,
thousands of others injured..
Civil defense stations are being set up
through out the island of Manhattan.
But in addition, city, military...
and health officials are setting up a command post..
on the Jersey shore in anticipation of an evacuation...
My bag. My bag!
Oh. Mr. Caiman! Mr. Caiman, wait.
Mr. Caiman, I've got a lead.
I know a guy who's on the inside, with the military...
Not now.
You don't understand. I can get us some great inside information.
Look, this is when the big boys go to work. Okay, honey? Bag.
This is crazy! Come on. Come on, let's go.
Wait up.
- Come on. - Wait up.
- Can we get a cab? - Audrey, what are you thinking?
Go, go, go!
In what city officials are describing,
as the worst act of destruction.
since the World Trade Center bombing.
Hundreds of thousands of people have jammed the streets.
The largest evacuation in this city's history.
And many people, many, many people are not happy about it.
Among those unhappy citizens are the managers of the stores.
Along pricey Fifth and Madison Avenue.
The Warner Bros. and Disney stores have been,
totally cleared out by looters.
And the streets are jammed. Traffic is at a standstill.
Emergency vehicles cannot have access to,
any emergency that may develop.
And there is a slow but steady stream out of the city.
as if Long island or New Jersey were any refuge,
in this time of crisis.
Ohh! This is great!
If I'm wrong on this evacuation, they'll string me up from the Liberty torch.
Didn't we agree that we weren't to have any sweets until after the election?
Back off, Gene.
- Mr. Mayor. - Who the hell are they?
It's a contingent of Building owners and
business representatives from the community.
- I don't have time for this nonsense. - Campaign contributors!
Ladies and gentlemen, I share your concerns.
I want to get this city back in business as soon as possible. Please.
CHARGURES Insurance.
We represent nearly 13% of the buildings in your city.
You can count on our emotional and financial support.
Oh, well, Thank you. Thank you.
What do you plan to do?
- Coming through. Coming through. - Where's your I.D.?
What's the matter? Don't you watch TV.?
You gotta have a press ID
I've got ID. I had a badge on my bag here.
I don't know if this is a very good idea. Luce.
What are you talking about? You stole it.
Finally you got a little chutzpah. Don't wimp out on me.
What if Caiman finds out?
Look, how often you think you gonna have an ex-boyfriend
on the inside of a major story?
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
If I could just stick this thing.
You got any glue? or something?
I'm sorry. I left my forgery kit at the office.
Ahh! Cafe!
No croissant?
No monsieur.
Ah, you call this coffee?
I call this America.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Mayor. But that's where we are at this point."
"Now hold on. Hold on."
You're telling me that in an election month,
I've evacuated the entire city for nothing?
Do you realize what this evacuation,
Is gonna cost the people of this city?
We have been monitoring all the waters around the island.
As far as we can tell, this thing has not left the area.
Yes, but you don't know for sure.
We have a strong reason to believe it may be hiding,
inside one of the buildings within the restricted area.
But you don't know for sure!
Mr. Mayor.
We cannot give the "All clear",
until each and everyone of this building has been checked.
- What is it? - Excuse me, Sir.
That may be more difficult than we originally projected.
Ohh Terrific, Terrific! More good news.
We've run into a problem.
- Do you believe this? - I don't know what's going on.
You never know what's going on.
Thank you.

- Right here, Sir. - Fall in.
Let's go, people. Fall in downstairs.
♪♪
Lt. Anderson and his men found this late this afternoon.
We were checking the office building above,
when we discovered the floor was gone.
When we discovered he could burrow through the tunnels,
we realized that...
We realized he could be outside the quarantined zone.
Holy Christ!
How many tunnels lead off the island?
Only 14. We've checked them all. He hasn't used any of them.
- Have them all sealed up. - Yes, sir.
How? H.. H.. How would we do that, sir?
Fill them with cement. Brick them up. Put land mines in them, Bombs.
I don't care! Make sure the damn thing doesn't leave the island!
Yes, sir.
You know, he's not some enemy trying to evade you.
- He's just an animal. - What are you suggesting?
When I had to catch earthworms,
I knew the best way to get them was not
to dig them out, but to draw them out.
All we need to do is to find out what he needs.
And he'll come to you.
Where are they now?
Delta Niner, what is convoy position?
Command, they have just entered the city.
I have no radio contact with the convoy.
I'm expecting ground confirmation right now.

I'm kind of hoping that myself.
- Did you give approval for this? - They just appropriated it.
Twelve in the city, dump trucks?
Would you like to tell me what's going on around here?
Actually, no, I wouldn't. And don't touch anything.
How's O'Neal doing?
Everything is on schedule, Sir.
You sure you didn't know about this?
No. No one told me anything about this.
Why do I even keep you around?

Mr. Mayor, Calm down. Have some candy.
I don't want any candy! Leave me alone.
I can't believe it. I mean,
He did all of this and we did nothing to him.
Aah, that's not true.
We fed him.
Here at Command Center in New Jersey,
there is no new information to report.
Because the military has clamped a total media blackout on,
whatever is going on out here.
Officials are not saying anything about their
attempts to contain or control this creature.
And now I can see back from there expedition of manhattan...
Okay, No. The situation is under control!
It is under control. We have containment.
Don't wait for me. I'm okay.
Can I help you, young man?
Yes.
Do you have any at home pregnancy tests?
Especially ones that look for gonadotrophic hormones...
or clomiphene citrate?
I don't know. This...
- This is all we've got. - I'll take all of them.
Okay.
Well, You must have quite some harem.
Audrey?!
Oh, my God. Audrey? Is that you? What are you doing here?
Hi. Hello.
- Wow. How much is that? - $46.
God, you look, Wow!
- How have you been? - It's good to see you, Nick.
- So you made it. - What?
You're a reporter. uh,
No. That's good. That's good. That's what you always wanted.
I'm, I'm happy for you.
Really. I am.
Thank you.
You're still mad at me?
Well, you left without a phone call, letter, nothing, all this time.
Yeah. Yeah. I guess, I am still a little mad.
That was eight years ago. Some people change.
Most people don't.
Well, I'm sorry you feel that way.
Audrey?
You're right. Eight years is a long time.
Can I make you a cup of tea?
Sure. That'd be nice.
I still can't believe it.
I mean, how does a guy go from anti-nuke activists,
who working for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission?
Well, when you and I went to rallies together in college,
we helped to create awareness.
But now, from the inside,
I'm able to effect real change.
And exactly what changes are you trying to effect?
I'm preparing a census for the government.
I'm cataloging new species that have been created,
as a direct result of nuclear contamination.
Is that what you think created this thing?
Yeah. I found a blood sample earlier this evening.
How close did you get to the thing?
I got pretty close.
And what else did you find out?
Well, we know he eats tons of fish.
He's amphibious. He's a burrower.
And...
He's pregnant.
He is?
He! A very unusual he.
I mean, obviously these tests weren't designed for this. But,
fundamentally they look for the same
hormonal patterns to indicate pregnancy.
Wait! I don't get it. If he's the first of his kind,
How can he be pregnant?
I mean, doesn't he need a mate?
Not if he reproduces asexually.
Where's the fun in that?
I kept thinking, why would he travel so far?
But it makes perfect sense.
Lots of animals travel great distances for reproduction.
That's what he's doing in New York. He's nesting.
- Nesting? - Yes.
Do you realize that a lizard can lay,
up to 12 eggs at a time?
- Think of it. - No. I didn't know that.
Forgive me. I.. I have to... I have to get this to the lab,
See if I can confirm all this.
I'll be right back.
...Gojira...Gojira...
Gojira...
Come on, Joey. There's nothing down here.
I'm telling you, man, I heard something.
You heard nothing. It's a dead end.
Anything?
No. Nothing down here.
Nothing at all.
This is why, in this case,
"all the king's horses and all the king's men",
may not be able to put the Big Apple together again.
Audrey Timmonds. WIDF News.
Yes!
That's it. You owe me a beer.
You like it? I should've worn my hair back.
- No, it looks great. - You liked it? Good.
- Can I ask you something? - Yeah. What?
How the hell did you get a hold of this material?
Well, You know, It's like you said.
"Nice guys finish last." Right.
- Thank you. I love you. - Yeah, sure.
Wha..
Murray! Murray!
Come here a second.
Hold on a second, All right? What is it?
I've got exclusive footage of other places this thing has attacked.
- You do? - Yeah!
- Whose story is that? - Mine!
There's a lot of movement down there.
Military, police...
- Whoa, Whoa. - What?
- It's my breakfast. - I'm hungry.
Shh. Quiet!
...But, If we can lure him into a more...
open area such as this portion of Central Park..
I think we should be able to take him down.
Last time you didn't even scratch it.
That's not true. Our worm guy,
I mean Dr. Tatopoulos, here has found blood.
Yes. Yes, I did.
So, You see, the only thing we need to do is get him out into open terrain,
and use weapons that don't rely on heat-seeking technology...
Um, Excuse me, sir. I think this situation has become,
more complicated than that.
The blood that I collected...
Revealed that the creature is either about to,
lay eggs or already has.
Are you trying to tell us
that there's another one of those things out there?
No, No, Governor. I don't believe so.
Wait a minute. Wait.. Wait... Wait.
Then how can it be pregnant?
What is this, the "virgin lizard?"
No. No. It reproduces asexually.
That's why we have to find the nest as soon as possible.
Otherwise up to a dozen are going to be born,
each one capable of laying eggs on its own.
Very quickly we could be looking at an enormous population.
So, after we kill the creature, then we'll search for the nest.
No. I think it might be too late by then.
These eggs gonna hatch very quickly.
How could you possible know that?
The Fish. The fish that we found on the subway.
He's not collecting all this food just for himself.
He's preparing to feed his young.
Do we have something on this guy?
Yes.
Professor Nick... Nick Ta... Tat... Tato...
They call him "The Worm Guy."
Stay tuned for our special report.
Yo!
Would you excuse us, please? Where you been?
They just promo-ed your spot. It's up right after this.
Oh, Good.
Can you turn it up, please?
Yo! Can you turn it up, please? The TV!
If Dr. Tatopoulos is right,
We have to act quickly before this problem escalates.
So you want to divide,
our efforts based solely on some wild theory?
Sir, Nick's come through for us before. if he feels strongly...
Come through for you? Colonel, your campaign's a disaster.
You weren't even able to keep this thing from coming to Manhattan.
Excuse me, gentlemen, but I think we should see this.
Look at the methods and motivations
of Manhattan's newest unwanted pest.
...Gojira...Gojira...
"Godzilla."
That's what Japanese sailors called him in song.
A mythological sea dragon who filled their hearts with fear.
Oh my god! He stole my report!
I know.
That myth has become reality, our modern day terror...
I don't believe it!
Who is this Godzilla?
Where did he come from? Why is he here?
And it's Gojira, you moron!
A direct path can be traced from Manhattan to French Polynesia.
Where nuclear tests have been going on for more than two decades.
Research team member Dr. Nick Papadopoulus believes,
the creature may be nesting.
Using Manhattan as ground zero to cultivate the species.
This despite the fact that the combined might...
of the United States military has been unable to subdue...
You went to the press with this?
No! No, I haven't talked to anyone.
They mentioned you by name!
Yeah. Yeah!
You gave them the tape?
No, I didn't, No, I didn't give them the tape.
No, It's in my tent right now.
Oh, my God! Oh, my God! She took it.
Pack your stuff, mister.
You're officially off this project as of now!
What's going on?
We're leaving.
I'm so sorry about all this.
Make sure that Hicks finds that nest.
Before it's too late.
I'll try.
What do you mean he's not there?
A second ago you told me he was on the other line.
Please. It's urgent. I really need to talk to him.
Yes, Nick Tatopoulos.
You're leaving?
Why?
Is it 'cause of me? 'Cause of the story?
What did you think was going to happen?
You never said it was off the record.
I shouldn't have to, Audrey.
You were supposed to be my friend. I trusted you.
Nick, there's something I have to tell you.
Look, I lied to you.
I'm not a reporter.
When we broke up, and I first came out to New York,
I was so sure I'd make it.
But I haven't.
That's why I needed the story so bad.
I just couldn't tell you I'm a failure.
And you thought that made it okay to steal my tapes?
No. It was a terrible thing to do. I never should've done that.
Good luck with your new career.
I really think you have what it takes.
Newark Airport.
I'm sorry.

Okay, stop.

Oh!
I thought you like to know that Your American friends
have decided not to look for the creature's nest.
What? Are you sure? How do you know that?
We know.
- Trust me. - Trust you?
You hijack me and you expect me to trust you?
Yes.
And why should I do that?
Because you are the only one who wants
to find the nest as much as I do.
♪♪
How did you get all this stuff into the country?
This is America. We can buy anything.
Why all the secrecy?
Why aren't you guys working with the U.S. military?
I'm not permitted to speak of such things.
Hey, Hey, You said that you needed my trust.
Well, then I need yours.
I am a patriot. I love my country. You understand that?
Sure.
It is my job to protect my country.
Sometimes I must even protect it from itself.
from mistakes we've made.
Mistakes that we don't want the world to know about.
Your talking about the nuclear tests in the Pacific?
Yes.
This testing done by my country left a terrible mess.
We're here to clean it up.
They are setting the next fish trap at 8-something.
We know how to get into the city.
Just don't know where to start looking.
Here. This is the 23rd Street subway station.
That's where we first found the fish.
That'd be a good place to start lookings.
So you're in?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm in.
I always wanted to join the French Foreign Legion.
Bravo.
- Hello. - How's it going?
Whoa! Whoa!
Hey,
Um, Excuse me. Excuse me. Pardon me. Sorry.
- Honey? - Hi, sweetie.
Who the hell are all these people?
What? I couldn't just let them sleep on the street.
You couldn't... So...
Um, where's Audrey?
In the bedroom crying her eyes out because of you.
Me? What did I do?
All that "you gotta be vicious" stuff you filled her head with.
I filled... Get out of here!
You go in there and talk to her right now.
I was agreeing with you. Excuse me.
Contrary to some frivolous reporting,
we have absolutely no information whatsoever to make us believe...
that there are any eggs of the creature in the city.
There's no need for panic. Repeat. There's no reason to panic.
It's all my fault.
What have I done, Animal? What have I become?
Look at me. This isn't me. I don't do stuff like this.
You made a mistake. All right. It happens.
Yeah. Well,
I just totally screwed up with the only man who will ever care about me.
If I told you you could make it all up to him, would you?
Of course I would.
All right. So, get this.
After he left you in the street there, I kind of followed him.
Figured I'd talk some sense into the guy, you know?
Next thing I know, he pulls into this warehouse...
with all these French wackos in military outfits.
They want to try to sneak back into the city tonight.
They're going after the nest.
If he finds it, I think you should be the one to let the whole world know...
that this guy was right all along. Don't you?
What? You want me to follow him into the city?
Yeah. We both will.
Come on. It'll be fun. It'll be fun. It'll be fun.
I don't know. I've already made such a mess of everything.
Yeah, you really did, Audrey. Listen I'm going after him.
You can come with me or not. Okay?
What are you doing?
Can't let Lucy know. She'll hurt me.
What's with the chewing gum?
Makes us look more American.
Oh, Really?
Just let me do all the talking. All right?
It's not in gear.
Hmm.
Follow me. This way.
- You okay? - I'm okay.
- Come on. - What is this place?
It's a vent that leads down to the subway tunnels underneath here.
It should take us right to the 23rd Street station in Manhattan.
Oh, You've got to be kidding me.
Aren't there rats and stuff down here?
I'm little more concerned about lizards at this point.
Big, ugly, nasty, large lizards.
Who you boys with?
Um, We're with the 3-2, sir.
I didn't ask you, soldier!
Well, Sergeant O'Neal, just called down for us.

Great. Now what do we do?
I'm standing here now just outside
the Jersey entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel...
where thousands of angry refugees are
demanding to be let back into the city.
All major arteries into the city are clogged with Manhattanites...
...who are jubilant that Godzilla...
Yes, I understand.
Mr. Mayor, Your office is swamped with phone calls.
I know. I know.
Do you have any idea what's going on out there?
Phones are ringing off the hook.
People are screaming to be let back into the city.
We're sending divers into the river, now to retrieve the body.
That thing's dead. What are you waiting for ?
Colonel. Colonel, we've got to start a search for the nest.
Elise, We've been through this already.
What if Nick is right and we blow this whole thing?
Sir, this could be the only chance we have to do something about it.
Captain, organize a search party.
I want a complete sweep of the entire city and the subway.
You don't have the authority to do that.
Try and stop me.
Contact the military.
And get them to send a bomber to blow up this building.
- How do I do that? - 555-7600.
Tell them it's a Code Dragonfly. That should get you through.
What are you waiting for?
- 555 what? - 7600.
7.. 6.. 0.. 0.
All circuits are busy right now.
Please hang up and try again...
- It's busy. - Try again!
What did they say?
All circuits are busy...
I can't get through. I don't know what's wrong.
We secured the doors.
Where is Jean-Philippe, Jean-Pierre?
They didn't make it.
Nick, My men and I will hold them here.
You'll have to go and get help.
Come on.
Okay.
Think we can fit up in there?
Only one way to find out. Right?
Boost me up. Boost me up.

Come on.
Wrong floor.
Hey, why don't we go this way?
Shh.

Um, Here.
Hey, Hey, Hey!
Hey!
- You all right? - I think so.
- No cameras. - What, are you kidding..
Yeah, all right. Very good.
Do you have a radio, walkie-talkie,
anything we can use to contact the outside?
What about the phones?
No. It's no good. Circuits are all jammed.
Oh, Wait. I know a way.
I know how we can get a message to the outside.
This way. Come on.
The Tape? The Tape!
Come on!
Come on.
Come on. The broadcast booth is right over here.
How do you know that?
Our network covers the Rangers games.
It's locked.
Wait. There's a code. There's a code.
Aw, Come on! Come on!
I was just about to... get it.
The network is on an intranet.
It's a direct feed into our computer system.
Well, your station isn't gonna have an easier
time reaching the military than I did.
When you worked with them, did they monitor all the news broadcasts?
Yeah. Yeah, they did.
All right, we'll go live. huh? Audrey.
We'll broadcast right from in here.
Hopefully they'll see it.
I'll try to get a message through.
Let's not forget in our rush to return to the city...
that many people have had their lives changed forever.
No one in the city has been untouched by the tragedy.
The sick, the displaced, the injured...
There's no Ranger game on tonight.
Ed. if you're seeing this. will you please put us on live?
It's urgent.
I know this sounds crazy Ed, but you have to do it.
Please, just trust me.
I'm not putting you on live.
I don't think he's gonna do it.
Oh, Yes, he will.
All right, Ed? Come on! Huh?
Huh?
You see that Ed?
They'll be all over the city if we don't stop them.
Give me a second. Will you?
Finally, the time has come to
return to our homes and pick up our lives.
Okay. These are the last three.
Our fears have been allayed...
Thanks to the heroic efforts of our boys in uniform...
What's going on? Are we on?
This calculator.
Yeah, Good. You're on.
- Are we live? - Yes, Yes. you're on. Go!
We're live inside Madison Square Garden..
Where Dr. Niko Tatopoulos has discovered the beast's lair.
Doctor, can you please tell us what's happening here?
- That's you, yes. Go, go. - Thank you.
Yeah. Well, we've discovered over 200 eggs.
Go get Hicks. Get Hicks.
Which a few moments ago began hatching.
The creatures, though just hatched are over nine feet tall,
...and they've begun feeding.
When their food supply runs out here...
they will attempt to hunt down food of their own...
...outside of this nest.
Oh, my God!
If they get out, they'll multiply...
...and very soon a new species will emerge...
One that could replace us as the dominant species of this planet.
Each one of these amazing reptiles...
are born pregnant.
Adaptive and cunning,
these 200 could become 40,000 within this year.
If the military is listening to this broadcast...
they have to destroy this building immediately.
before these creatures can escape.
So far they're all trapped inside this building...
but I don't think we can contain them for long.
They're very strong, they're agile..
and they're looking for food.
So I guess your theory of the creature nesting...
...turned out to be correct after all.
Regardless of what happens to us, the most important thing...
is that this building be destroyed immediately...
before they can escape out into the city.
Reporting live from Madison Square Garden...
This is Audrey Timmonds for WIDF News.
Thanks, Audrey.
Sure.
That's affirmative. Let me spell it out for you.
I want you to blow up Madison Square Garden.
Well, the good news is they got that message.
The bad news is we've got less than six minutes to get out of the building.
Okay. Party's over. Time to leave.

- He's not following us! - Really?
You gotta be kidding me, man. We're in his mouth.
You're going the wrong way, man! You're going the wrong way,
Will you shut up, man?
Okay, gun it. Gun it. Go, go, go.
