Enter.

Lieutenant Shaw, reporting as ordered. Sir?

That is... Oh, I believe

that's going to stick around a while.

You know, this island is lousy with sailors, marines.

Couldn't pick a fight with one of them instead of two of our own.

Sometimes the fight picks you, sir.

What's the fight even about?

I guess they just can't abide bullies, sir.

Your father threw a few punches in his day.

Some of them at me.

What do you think he'd make of you now?

I don't know, sir.

Maybe we could sober him up and ask him.

All right.

Some orders have come through.

Security escort for a Japanese scientist.

Sorry, sir, a Japanese scientist?

This isn't a milk run, Lieutenant.

We already lost a man on one of these escort missions a couple of months back.

You will protect, observe, and report when and if able. Understood?

Understood, sir.

And that is all.

Lieutenant.

Dismissed.

Excuse me.

Sir, you don't happen to be Dr. Mira?

Mira?

Sorry.

I think you're here for me.

Wish I could say I was, but I'm here on army business.

Maybe we can get a drink on my way out, huh?

Wait a minute.

They told me they were sending a military escort, and you're the only one

in uniform.

I'm supposed to meet a Dr. Mura.

I'm Keiko Mura.

Keiko, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. You must be his daughter?

I'm sorry, I think there's a little miscommunication happening here.

Let's start over. Yes, why don't we? Okay. You are? I am Lieutenant Leland

Lafayette Shaw III, but you can call me Lee.

I'm Keiko Miura, and you may call me Dr. Miura.

You know, these things aren't supposed to go that fast.

You'd like me to drive?

Why?

Am I making you nervous?

Nope. But, uh, I'm assigned to use your military escort.

This is an army jeep, and I'm, you know, the army.

I've been driving up and down these roads for weeks.

I know the way.

Okay, then.

I'm starting to get the feeling you don't really want me around here.

Are you even curious why you're here?

Very much so.

A WB -29 on a routine weather mission scooped up some airborne radio isotopes

over the Philippine Sea.

That's pretty far south for a Russian bomb test, huh?

That's because it's not the Russians.

Well, it's not us.

So, who is it?

Well, they were the wrong isotopes for bomb fallouts, and meteorological data

shows they likely originated here.

The Philippines?

It's got to be a mistake.

That's what I'm here to find out.

Okay.

I should get to work.

Hit the gas, Doc.

Bye. Bye.

Every day their reading diminishes.

Even if it'll be entirely gone and the trail will be lost.

Got that. Double time.

Your English is very good.

It came in handy when I did my postgraduate work at Berkeley.

It's impressive.

Doesn't that make you a little overqualified for the snipe hunt?

This what?

Wild goose chase.

Come on, Doc. Don't you think of...

Those readings were legit. Washington would have sent half the big heads of

Alamos to check it out.

Not a woman.

Certainly not a Japanese woman.

You got that right, yeah.

You want me to lie and pretend that's not the way things are?

Mm -mm.

You're telling me you didn't take one look at me, make a snap judgment about

I am the second we met?

Huh?

It's not the same.

The third.

Suppose it's not.

Do you hear that?

Lieutenant?

Lieutenant?

Oh!

Hey!

Hey. Don't move.

Whoa! Lieutenant. Who are you? Don't shoot. Who are you? I'm American.

Navy vet.

And what are you doing here, American Navy vet, huh? Are you filming us?

Why, are you guys doing something film -worthy? I asked you a question. I'm

asking a question back. Well, I got the gun swabbed, so who are you and what are

you doing here? Lieutenant. My name's William Randa.

Okay?

Lieutenant Shaw?

Mm -hmm.

Look, I promise I won't shoot you if you don't shoot me.

Deal?

Still haven't answered my question. What are you doing here?

Well, you could say I'm on a hunting expedition.

I'm a cryptozoologist.

You're a cryptozoo, uh, what? Studies animals that don't exist.

Yeah.

Atmospheric sampler?

Spectrometer? Hey, is this a radiation monitor here? Hey, hey, hey, hey, easy.

Don't touch that one. Sorry, I've never seen one before.

Wanted to check it out.

Because it seems like maybe we're out here hunting for the same thing.

And what's that, Mr. Randa?

Truth.

Katie, where have you been? I'm sorry.

I've been calling and calling.

Mom, I'm fine. I'm coming home.

Already?

What did you find out? It doesn't have anything to do with us.

What does that mean?

What does it have to do with us? What did it always have to do with Mom?

Him. Katie.

We'll talk when I get home, okay?

Don't do this. Love you. Bye.

American?

Excuse me?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just overheard your accent.

Sometimes a place can make you feel like you're stranded on another planet.

Glad I could help.

Where are you headed? Look, I don't mean to be rude, but I've made all the new

friends I can handle for Monday, thanks. Yeah, no, no, I totally get it.

Young woman abroad runs into a strange man at the train station.

The next thing you know, you're buried alive in a coffin somewhere.

Can't imagine that that helped.

Wait, wait, wait.

I'm harmless.

My name's Tim.

They don't come much more harmless than Timberite. Have a nice night, Tim.

I need to talk to you about the files.

I don't... What files?

I work for Monarch.

You're not in trouble.

Not yet.

Those files belong to us.

And they are more important than you could possibly imagine.

I need to make a call.

Okay.

Let's make a call.

Make your call.

Speaker, please.

Okay.

Kate? Hello?

Kate?

I said

you

weren't in trouble yet.

Look, I swear, we're not going to hurt you. No, we can't do this. I just can't

let you see where we're going. You don't understand.

I can't breathe.

Relax.

You're going to be fine. Just breathe, okay?

Let me out. Calm down. Let me out. Relax. Let me out.

Relax. Calm down. Let me out.

I don't have the control now.

Let me out.

When's the last time I answered one of your text messages?

You thought?

You thought that because of your crazy family drama that what happened between

us is ancient history?

What do you want from me?

I do audio, not home movies.

I told you I was sorry.

Apology accepted.

I'm sorry, too.

I... I grabbed onto you to keep my head above water and you didn't want to

drown. I get it.

You should go home now.

Wait, wait, wait.

I want those old computer files we found.

Why?

Because they're mine.

What difference does it make to you? I'm busy.

Come back tomorrow.

Your boyfriend was an American.

But you said he was American, didn't you? What about the guy?

Tim?

I think he has some kind of ID.

When he ran away, I lost my wallet.

My passport, my phone, and all my money.

You're telling the truth, aren't you?

Isn't that a misunderstanding?

No,

it's fine for tourists to come to Tokyo to enjoy the city and karaoke.

But, you know, it's beyond smooth.

Do you think I'm drunk?

Do you think I'm going to be kidnapped?

If you feel any symptoms, please contact the U .S. Embassy.

Please wait here for a moment.

I'll go check on him.

I'm home.

Welcome home.

Did you eat hot pot?

I'm not hungry.

You're going to warm up the curry.

What's this?

Your father's life must have been hard.

He lost a lot of things before he grew up.

What are you doing?

Are you not angry?

You're the one who's angry, aren't you?

Did you get a little angry?

What are you doing?

I'm getting angry too.

What?

Hi, Kentaro. Hey. Hey.

Hey. Hey. Hey.

Hey. Hey. Hey.

So you guys are following the radiation aren't you?

All right, what do you know about that one? Well, I know you're not going to

find what's out there following a Geiger counter.

Well, should we be following, Mr. Rando?

Just, Billy, I think you should be following the stories, folklore,

You know, the people of these mountains, they have an oral tradition about a

dragon that carves a path of fire across the sky.

Or maybe a path of ionizing radiation.

So, you're hunting dragons?

I told you, I'm looking for the truth.

That's great. But we got work to do, so it's time for you to hit the trail, bud.

Wait a minute, Lieutenant.

I don't think it's such a bad idea for Mr. Rando to join us.

I think it's a terrible idea.

You're not here to think for me, Lieutenant.

Look at him.

Smell him.

He's probably lost out here for weeks. Hey, hey, I know exactly where I am now.

Do you? Yeah. No, look, I am here at the behest of the U .S. Army. My orders

are... Your orders are to provide me with whatever... My orders are to

you... With operational security, and I cannot do that with our new friend

Billy, the jungle hermit, hanging around.

Wow.

Fine.

Just go then.

Don't tempt me, Doc.

I didn't ask for you.

I don't need you, and I don't want you.

So, you are relieved of any responsibility for me.

Dismissed.

I'll send someone back with a G.

Should we go?

So, have you ever seen a dragon?

Once. Oh.

Well, maybe.

That's kind of why I started doing this.

Trying to prove I'm not crazy.

You think I'm crazy?

I don't even know you.

That's true.

Do you often follow strange men into the jungle?

This is my second time today.

We call them mutos.

For massive, unidentified terrestrial organisms.

I came up with that.

Terrestrial. So...

You don't think they're space aliens?

You do think I'm crazy.

I'm a scientist.

I believe what the evidence tells me to be true.

Everyone around here tells some version of the same story.

Lights in the sky.

And whatever's making them has been tracing the same path over and over and

again, going back centuries.

Like comets?

No, more like migrating birds.

Hold on.

I have to show you something.

East of the tracks of the radiation readings from our surveillance aircraft.

Yes.

Incredible.

This way. This way. Okay. Come on.

Where are we going?

We're following the map.

We're almost there.

Almost where?

What is it?

What is that?

The lock.

I don't know.

I'm going to take a look and see what's on these. I have no idea if they're any

good.

You do it.

Hey, when my grandfather died in Vietnam, my father was 18 years old.

Diori was the only one who cared about my father.

Why didn't your father tell you anything about him?

I wonder what happened between the two of them.

Looking back on the past, he didn't want to talk about it.

Is he still alive?

How about it?

It's all in the past.

Sorry.

I'll go out.

Thank you.

Good evening.

Can I speak English?

Yes? Ah, that's great, actually. That makes this much easier for me. Anyway,

may we come in?

No, who are you?

It's a particular business.

We're with a special government task force.

Which government?

You know, we'll be in and out before you even know it. Well, you have a lovely

home. What do you want?

I want Bill Randa's files.

No, you need to leave. You need to hand over those files.

Otherwise, you, your friends, and your mother are going to be in a lot of

trouble.

I'll get it

Amazing. Thank you.

Tea? You like tea?

Tea? No, we're good. Thanks.

Hurry up!

Oh shit.

You know this ship?

USS Lawton.

Went down 200 miles west of Pearl in 1943.

Pearl Harbor?

That's 5 ,000 miles from here.

Exactly.

Mr.

Roundup?

You said you study myths.

Stories. I'm interested in why people tell stories they tell.

What inspired the storyteller?

What terrified him?

What is it?

Mr. Roundup, maybe we should stick together.

Surround us.

Billy.

You were on this ship?

Yeah.

Is this what you were looking for?

Did you know it was here?

Did I know?

Let's say hoped.

Not very scientific.

I know we had something in the water that night.

We figured it was a Japanese sub.

The whole ship went down in less than three minutes.

Who else survived?

Only me.

Who are you? Jason Bourne?

You're from San Francisco. You were there that day.

You don't have a backpack ready to head for higher ground when the tide starts

rising? Yeah, it's full of bottled water and batteries, not extra path for it.

May. Hey, are you okay?

What is she doing here?

Hey, whoa, she's in this too.

Somebody's after those files.

Why don't we just give them what they want?

Maybe then they'll leave all of us alone. Okay, yeah. Good luck with that.

What's your plan? Just run? May I have contacts? I can get a fake passport.

I don't want a fake passport. I want my real passport.

I haven't done anything wrong.

Okay, when are people in power? Hold on.

I know where to go.

Trust me.

Come on.

What is that?

I don't know.

Looks organic.

When did you say this ship sank?

Nine years ago.

I think I've seen everything I need to in here.

Yeah.

I wasn't there before.

This is fresh.

Fresh what?

We'll find another way out of here.

How did it get here?

Is there something in here? I don't know. Come on.

Did you come to see the colonel?

Yes.

If he's still alive.

Can I see the colonel?

Colonel Shaw?

What's your name?

Kentaro. Kentaro what?

Randa.

Oh, my God. You're Hiroshi's boy.

And you?

I'm Kate, Randa.

Of course you are.

I, uh, I didn't know Hiroshi even had a daughter.

Well, I didn't know he had a son.

Turns out he was good at keeping secrets.

Not my drama. No relation.

We won't ask you about it. Why don't we, um... Yeah, come on.

Let's get some air.

Come on.

You guys can just kind of keep your voices down. That'd be good.

Tell me, how'd you get here?

Rented a mini van. That's good.

But I mean, how did you find me?

My mom.

Hey, Miko.

Yeah.

We found something in my father's safe. Kintar. What? My great -uncle Lee. What

did you find in the safe?

Old computer files.

Bunch of crazy shit.

Monster shit. Shh. Can you please, please keep your voices down?

What's this all about?

Why are you here? You gotta make it kind of quick.

We want to find out what happened to my father.

You tell me.

Right after G -Day, he said he had someplace he needed to go.

Wouldn't tell us where, but...

A week later, we were told the plane he was on disappeared somewhere in Alaska.

Turns out he had a whole secret life in Japan.

I came here to try and figure it out, but now we're being chased by these

monarch people and... Disappeared?

As in nobody?

No gut certificate?

What are you saying?

Hey.

Hey, what is this place?

Huh? Well, this place is what monarch euphemistically refers to as secure

asset management.

Right. So you're imprisoned here.

Okay. Well, we're leaving.

You can try, but they're just going to keep following you and following you and

following you until they finally get what they want.

Or? Well, that's up to you.

Now, you can choke down that Mountain of Monarch bullshit about your father

disappearing without a trace.

Or we can get the hell out of here right now and find out what really happened

with your dad.

Now you got just about 60 seconds to make up your mind.

What's it gonna be?

This way.

Are you sure?

I did two tours in this tin can, Doc.

Let's keep it moving.

Come on.

Whoa!

Are you all right? Oh, Jesus Christ.

Go back! Go!

Oh, my God!

One two three!

There's a dragon.
