Kong: Skull Island Edit

A day away.

A full grown tiger can eat a baby bear.

A place where myth and science meet.

A tiger would win.

After taking the thorn out of his paw though, right?

After we bring this thing down.

Ah, don't get too excited.

Ah, truth is, I don't expect them to be waiting.

Ah, you were in the shit.

Ain't that a crack?

Al, you're looking well.

All American forces will be withdrawn.

All good.

All of our materials are loose leaf.

All right, let's move.

All right, you heard the man. Moving out in 10.

All right?

All right.

All right. Once on the island,

All that money that they paid you? I hope you're worth it.

All this for what?

Allow me.

Allowing it to remain hidden from the outside world.

Allowing us to discover places and things we've never seen.

An emergence point for whatever lives below.

An uncharted island?

Ancient species like what we just saw.

Ancient species owned this earth long before mankind.

And accompanied by biologist, Miss San,

And eight failed attempts to get back to the world,

And geologist, Mr. Brooks.

And he ain't coming back. There's nothing to say.

And he fell into the sea.

And he rescued 12 downed pilots in Ðà Nang, in '72.

And his old Zero.

And I will not cut and run.

And I'm telling you

And if we keep our heads buried in the sand,

And instead the world comes to me?

And looking down on the Earth,

And monsters exist.

And no, now we gotta go to another island

And North Vietnamese today that the withdrawal...

And now here it is.

And remember the story of Icarus,

And she floats.

And that's exactly where I need to be right now, with a drink in my hand.

And the impossible dream

And the place to find it is this island.

And the war...

And then what? All our choppers are down.

And then, one day, the damnedest thing happened.

And this is where they honor the last of their saviors.

And warned him not to fly too close to the sun.

And we didn't lose the war,

And we need to turn back toot sweet!

And we swore we'd never leave each other behind.

And we'll get off this rock alive.

And we'll wait for you there.

And what are they called?

And win you a Pulitzer.

And you better hope he does.

And you wanna call it on account of rain?

And you?

And you're welcome to do that, my man. By yourself.

Anti war photographer.

Ants.

Anybody out there?

Anybody with ears, come back. Respond. Over.

Are we even gonna make it?

Are you all right?

Are you lost? Which way?

Are you okay?

Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

Arm one.

Arm three.

Arm two.

As far as I can tell,

As long as he gets to them when they're still small.

As long as we stay in here where the people live, we'll be all right.

As our satellites show,

As usual, remember,

At least not on foot.

At Wrigley Field on opening day.

Attention, all soldiers and base personnel.

Attention, pilots. You are cleared for takeoff.

Because I wrote a paper

Because if we miss that window,

Because the Iwis say once Kong goes,

Because there is new knowledge to be gained.

Benny Goodman?

Besides, my father told me never to judge a man by where he drinks,

Best of luck with that, soldier.

Big ones.

Bill Randa here to see Senator Willis.

Bitch, please!

Brace for impact!

Brace!

Bring the torch! Do your thing!

Brooks, what the hell is going on?

Bunch of scientists called Landsat

But as Field Supervisor of the controlling agency,

But he did kill these men!

But he should have something available in the coming weeks.

But I call them Skull crawlers.

But I know we'll meet again

But I know what I saw.

But I've been here a hell of a lot longer.

But if we reach that position and he's not there,

But it's nothing a couple of extra hands can't fix.

But it's people like you lost us support back home.

But listen to me, listen to me. This is it.

But my flashlight broke.

But nothing lasts forever, I guess.

But the devils live below us.

But the exhilaration was too great,

But the rest of it...

But the United States Army is not an irresponsible father.

But today...

But we can't let it stop us.

But we like to think it's much more than that.

But we're not leaving yet.

But what about the other bacteria?

But with Colonel Packard's helicopter transport,

But you don't go into someone's house and start dropping bombs

But you take away the uniforms

But you're gonna need a lot more guns if you're gonna go west.

But you're real.

But your source says that he spends most of his waking hours

By the resource exploration team,

Calling all units! Is anybody airborne?

Camera's way more dangerous than a gun.

Can I help you?

Can we fit everybody?

Can you punch through that, Colonel?

Cannot be taken as an index of our progress

Chapman is dead.

Chapman to all stations.

Chapman, hold your position.

Chapman.

Chapman.

Chapman.

Cold war like

Cole, we don't got time for that, man. Put the cigarette out.

Cole, what's wrong with you?

Cole!

Cole!

Cole!

Cole!

Colonel Packard,

Colonel Packard! There's a phone call for you.

Colonel.

Combat formation.

Come on already, let's go!

Come on now!

Come on, come on.

Come on, get up!

Come on, man, we gotta fall back.

Come on, we're losing daylight.

Come on, you bastard!

Come on!

Come on! Go!

Come on! Go!

Come on! Hurry!

Come on.

Come on. Come on, you son of a bitch.

Come on. Every second counts.

Coming in hot! I got eyes on it!

Coming to the north end of the island in three days.

Complete FOD walkdown and clear the deck.

Conrad, which way are we going?

Conrad.

Copy all, Fox Three. Heading 0 9 0.

Copy, Fox Leader. Fox Three headed to Zone Six.

Cut the legs! Cut it off at the legs!

Damn it.

Damn it.

Dear Billy,

Dear Billy.

Dear Billy...

Dear Billy...

Dear Billy...

Did he come back?

Did you crash here?

Die, you mother...

Discovered a new island on their satellite.

Do you copy? Anybody?

Do you even have a bed, Cole?

Does anybody know what that is?

Does this thing even float?

Doesn't change a thing!

Doesn't he miss his bed? I miss my bed!

Don't do it.

Don't forget to tell me this is a bad idea.

Don't know when

Don't know where

Don't miss it, please.

Don't shoot!

Don't you miss your bed?

Easy.

Eating's for the living.

Embedded with MACV SOG.

Every nautical trade route known to man has avoided for centuries.

Everybody, grab your gear. We have to keep moving.

Everybody, keep your wigs on now!

Everybody, stay calm. Stay calm.

Everyone else, stay with the team leader.

Everyone here seems way too calm right now.

Fall back.

Final troop withdrawal will commence at 0600.

Fire in the hole!

Fly ball, very deep.

For ground excursions led by Mr. Conrad.

For losing the war, are you?

For the first time, we're putting cameras into space

For the Griffin and ant show.

For the number of ships and planes that have gone missing there.

Form a perimeter. Ready gunner positions.

Former SAS. No allegiance to anyone.

Found a B 29 on the beach one day. That was something.

Four klicks west, highest peak...

Fox Eight is down! Fox Four is down!

Fox Five inbound for pickup!

Fox Five is hovering.

Fox Five is in the slot.

Fox Five, come back.

Fox Five, let me know when you close.

Fox Five, this is Fox Leader. Fox Nine is down,

Fox Group, let it fly.

Fox Leader is down!

Fox Leader to Fox Group.

Fox Leader to Fox Group.

Fox Leader to Fox Group.

Fox Leader to Fox Group. Fire at will!

Fox Leader, this is Chapman, over.

Fox Leader, this is Chapman, over.

Fox Seven moving into position, three o'clock.

Fox Seven, put Landsat on deck.

Fox Six confirm, we're at the Sea Stallion.

Fox Six, Chapman.

Fox Six, we got nominal control.

Fox team, form up on me. Keep it together!

Fox, Chapman.

From World War II. You'll meet him.

Galleta, Saraf, and Hodges.

Gas!

Gather up everything you can, including those seismic charges.

Get down!

Get out of here, Chapman. Go have some fun.

Get out of here.

Get out of the way!

Get us home, with proof.

Get us the hell out of here!

Go live your life.

Go!

Go!

Go!

Good to see you, fellas!

Good. Glad to hear it. I was worried about you.

Got a telegram from her the day before I got shot down.

Grace and Billy all moved in in Atlanta,

Griffin Co.!

Grown man I've never met.

Guaranteed not to melt.

Guess I don't know anymore.

Guys. I think that we should listen to Marlow.

Hang on, Briggs. I'm coming.

Hang on.

Happens to be my team. Where are you from?

Harry Truman didn't think so when he funded Monarch in 1946.

Have a wife?

Have brought congressional committee hearings to a standstill,

Have you met Colonel Packard yet?

He became my brother.

He seemed to really go for it the first time.

He surrendered right after we leveled his village.

He threw it to me from the train as he rolled off to fight the Nazis.

He was 50 years old.

He was like John Wayne to me.

He's God to these people.

He's gone!

He's gone.

He's king around here.

He's losing his grip.

He's right, Colonel. We can't kill Kong.

He's the only thing keeping them lizard things in the ground.

He's with the downed Sea Stallion just west of here.

Hello and welcome.

Hello, there.

Hello?

Helping us to map the subsurface of the island.

Here we go now to the Cub half of number eight.

Here, no. Let me help.

Here's to profit during peacetime.

Hey, hey, hey. Hey.

Hey, Jerry.

Hey, Randa, you're not gonna believe this.

Hey!

Hey! I'm coming, too.

Hey! This is Fox Five. We hear you.

Hey.

His plane went down near Hamburg.

Hmm.

Hmm. "Dear Billy,

Hold onto your butts!

Hold the phone there, Churchill.

Hold tight, Colonel Packard, we are on our way!

Holy shit!

Holy shit! Look at that thing! I'm freaking out here!

How did British special forces get dragged into this?

How far away is this island?

How many did she write you?

How many left?

How many letters did you end up writing her?

How you doing?

How you even got an appetite right now?

I am the cavalry.

I appreciate your passion, Randa,

I asked you fellas nice the first time.

I believe there's an ecosystem out there the likes of which we can't imagine.

I can't believe we're doing this. Are you guys kidding me?

I can't get a shot!

I can't let you do that, Colonel.

I can't tell when I'm talking

I could ask you the same thing.

I could have had all of this organized and bound.

I did?

I didn't believe it when they said you were coming.

I didn't hear them say anything.

I didn't say that.

I don't believe I'm saying this, but that almost made sense.

I don't get it. Why do you want a gig documenting a mapping mission

I don't know how to answer that question right now.

I don't know if I'm gonna like whoever's under this beard.

I don't know what that was either.

I don't know, man. God damn...

I don't know, three, four.

I don't take orders from you!

I don't wanna be on the porch.

I feel we're on the brink of an area of expansion

I got a son out there.

I got a wife.

I got it. She's temperamental. Watch out!

I got you!

I guess this is goodbye.

I just want one last chance to see them.

I know an enemy when I see it.

I know she ain't pretty to look at,

I know!

I left you a message this morning about rescheduling today's appointment.

I need help here. I need...

I promise I won't tell the Russians.

I really hope that thing you call a boat can get us upriver in 36 hours.

I repeat, is anybody airborne?

I repeat, we are going down!

I repeat, we have a visual. Two klicks to our north.

I respect that.

I said,

I say we abort. That's it, we're gonna abort.

I should be sitting at a desk.

I spent the last 30 years

I suppose no man comes home from war.

I swear to God,

I tell you what. You're lucky he's out there, too,

I think it is, brother.

I think Mr. Conrad should be fairly compensated.

I thought he was out of his mind.

I told you this damn place was a no no.

I told you. Didn't I tell you?

I understand going after your man.

I want five times that.

I was up all night

I would not be opposed to that, sir.

I'd be fine either way.

I'd pick the Cubbies over the Tigers any day.

I'll be damned.

I'll be right here.

I'll be sure to tell her when I see her in the next 48 hours.

I'll still have his gun.

I'm fine calling them that.

I'm fine. Thank you.

I'm going to need a military escort.

I'm gonna stab you by the end of the night.

I'm good to go, sir.

I'm here to execute whatever orders I'm given, sir.

I'm just saying.

I'm just trying to get home to you and your mom.

I'm Landsat Field Supervisor, Victor Nieves.

I'm late for a meeting.

I'm not confident in our presentation.

I'm not leaving Jack out there. Now, who's with me?

I'm okay.

I'm sorry for your men, Colonel, I truly am.

I'm sorry, Colonel Packard.

I'm sure the Landsat inspector will be inspired by your courage.

I'm telling you, this is the new sound.

I'm told your unit is capable of handling inclement weather, Colonel.

I've got to get to higher ground to find the river.

I've never said that name out loud before. It sounds stupid now that I say it.

I've only been here 28 years. What do I know?

I've taken enough photos of mass graves to recognize one.

Idiots.

If he ever sees me again.

If I can't fix this, he'll disown me.

If the boat doesn't work, we'll just take the train.

If we can put this tremendous machine of ours,

If we follow this river,

If we stick to its banks, we'll make it to the exfil site on the north shore.

If we're not back by then,

If you take away a species' natural competition,

If you want to see a crowd go crazy,

If you'd found it,

If you're ever in Chicago, look me up, I guess.

If?

In 24 hours, we have to be on the other side of this island.

In ballistic missile work.

In case things go sideways.

In case we ever see that primate again.

In here!

In one day, one day,

In some back alley watering hole.

In terms of sheer waste,

In the dark.

Incoming!

Insert recovery team. Over.

Is everything okay?

Is nobody gonna say anything about the...

Is that a monkey?

Is that really all your brain telling itself right now?

Is that supposed to keep out that thing?

Is there anyone out there?

Is this fun for you?

Is what I got.

Is your Yale degree supposed to lead us through the jungle, Brooks?

Island?

Isn't it odd the most dangerous places are always the most beautiful?

Isn't shooting a mapping mission a step down for a photojournalist?

It always does.

It bleeds.

It could be years before we get another shot at this.

It felt good.

It had no conscience.

It has defied discovery until now.

It is time, once again,

It wiped out his whole family.

It'll be quick.

It's called the Hollow Earth theory.

It's gotta end. This is it.

It's impossible. That's it. No way.

It's more like the triangle than the hat,

It's more of a cold war.

It's more of, like, a plane than a boat, really.

It's notorious

It's over.

It's practically hollow.

It's the Athena, docked in Bangkok.

It's time to show Kong

Jerry, when three sources tell you the same thing word for word,

Jesus! I've never seen anything like it!

Just became the possible dream!

Just enough to get him to say yes.

Just go.

Just gotta think it through.

Just kidding.

Just thinking about how me and Gunpei dreamed of this moment.

Just waiting on me.

Keep going!

Keep visual.

Keep your eyes open.

Keeps to himself mostly.

Key West ain't an island either, it's a key.

Key West is,

Kill this son of a bitch.

Kong didn't kill Chapman.

Kong is god on this island.

Kong is not the only king.

Kong was just defending his territory.

Kong's a pretty good king.

Kong's down. Let's go!

Kong's god on the island,

Kong's the last of his kind, but he's still growing.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Last time I checked.

Launch, launch, launch.

Led by Mr. Randa

Let me list all the ways you're gonna die.

Let us dedicate ourselves to that.

Let's call it a "ploat."

Let's do this!

Let's get off this island.

Let's go kill this thing!

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Let's go, let's move it!

Let's go. We gotta move!

Let's just get on with it.

Let's prep this ordinance.

Let's take them down, low and level.

Letter to my boy.

Lieutenant Hank Marlow of the 45th Pursuit Squadron of the 15th.

Lieutenant Hank Marlow of the 45th.

Like the Bermuda Triangle?

Listen, I want you to tell me something right now.

Listen, Senator, Landsat is sending a mission to the island.

Listen, there's a refueling team

Listen, to be honest,

Locate possible ambush sites. Over.

Look at that.

Look out!

Look out! Oh, shit!

Look, I just made that name up. I'm trying to scare you.

Magnificent.

Maintain course.

Major Jack Chapman.

Make him a special gift out of that napalm.

Make sure those get back to his family.

Man, not even close.

Man, you got a shitty mom.

Man's gotta do what... Ow!

Many civilizations spoke of it in legends.

Mark my words.

Marlow, a little help here!

Marlow, you okay?

Marlow! Sword!

Mason Weaver is a woman?

Mason Weaver, photographer.

Maybe he wants to go kill that ape instead of getting us off this island? Yeah!

Maybe now's not the best time to ask.

Maybe we should consider postponing the mission.

Mayday, mayday!

Me and Gunpei spent six years of our lives building this thing.

Me and Gunpei were gonna take off for the open sea, try to get home.

Men go to war in search of something, Mr. Conrad.

Men!

Mills, Cole,

Mills, quit dicking around. I'm going on perimeter.

Mmm. I'm trying to take a long exposure photograph,

Mmm... Scientific instruments.

Monarch is on the cusp of being shut down, Brooks. We're broke!

Monarch ranks right up there with the search for alien life.

Monsters exist.

Mount up!

Move that gear to our three o'clock.

Mr. Brooks.

Much love.

My agency is known as Monarch.

My best guess is we're scattered over a four to five mile radius.

My men!

My mother.

Neither did the public.

Never thought I'd see you guys again.

Nieves, now is not the time. All right?

No kidding?

No personal property.

No reasoning, just destroy.

No shit.

No, he'll be inspired by my common sense.

No, he's not the one they're trying to keep out.

No, it's not.

No, no, no. No need for that.

No! Don't!

No.

No. Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

Nobody believed me.

Nobody move.

Nobody shoot!

Not as long as Chapman's still out there.

Not Randa.

Not really.

Not without me, pal.

Not yet!

Nothing he wouldn't do himself. He's taking the lead.

Nothing we haven't done before.

November Alpha 3, 0, 0. Over.

Now let's get to Chapman and those munitions.

Now there's a man worth talking to.

Now we're on their turf,

Now, come on. We gotta get home.

Now, follow me,

Now, he can handle them

Now, I'm gonna take these civilians back to the boat.

Now, look, Colonel.

Now, stay sharp. Keep an eye out.

Now, that other creature?

Now, you're saying we're at war with them?

Nuts!

Of an uncharted island in the South Pacific.

Of course, Mr. Randa.

Of knowledge about ourselves and our surroundings

Oh, dear.

Oh, God.

Oh, hey, that's pretty, huh?

Oh, I'm already set up with Eastern Air Lines.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.

Oh, shit!

Oh, shit.

Oh, shit.

Oh, there's a lot out there.

Oh, they don't speak too much.

Oh!

Oh! Behind you!

Oh.

Oh. Sorry, miss.

Oh. Um...

Okay, Captain Conrad.

Okay, Colonel.

Okay, don't get comfortable. You got five minutes.

Okay, sir.

Okay? But I will tell you what we do know.

Okay? There is no map.

Okay.

Okay. So, we've got 48 hours to make it to the north shore.

On guard, Fox Five!

On that Sea Stallion to kill this thing.

One day away!

One klick north of river bend.

One last thing.

One mike 30. Repeat, one mike 30 to launch.

One mike to launch.

One of them did.

One question.

Only how he holds it.

Only satellite images.

Ooh!

Or a new terrifying theater of war...

Or I'm gonna blow your head off.

Or like that aluminum foil hat that I like to wear on the weekends?

Or you wouldn't have made it this far.

Our expedition takes us to a place

Out of a thousand young men on that ship, I was the only survivor.

Over.

Ow!

Pack your bags, ladies.

Packard, it's General Ward.

Packard!

Packard!

Pay him.

Pennsylvania steel.

Pier 14, 6:00 tomorrow night.

Place your charges.

Please! You need to listen to us!

Plus, a bonus if we make it back.

Possible alternate fuels. Senator, look just...

Prepare to crash!

Promising more gridlock in the days and weeks ahead.

Pull out now! Pull out!

Pull up!

Pulled the engine parts from my P 51

Purely a precaution, Brooks.

Put it down, sir.

Put it down.

Put that detonator down.

Put the old flight suit on for you.

Put us down over there.

Quiet.

Rain, heat, mud, disease carrying flies and mosquitos.

Rally on me.

Rally up! Rally up!

Randa believed this island may be one of those.

Randa hired me

Randa, I don't get it. You already got us a military escort.

Randa, it's a fairy tale.

Randa!

Ready for seismic charges.

Really?

Recon environment.

Reles,

Rendezvous point, one hour.

Resources, medicine, the cure for cancer, geological discoveries.

Respond, Fox Three!

Right?

Right?

Right?

Right.

Right.

Roger that, Chapman. West highest mountain peak.

Roger that, Fox Five.

Roger that, Fox Five. Fox One out.

Roger that.

Roger that.

Roger that.

Roger that. And, sir?

Roger that. Hear you loud and clear.

Roger. Climb 1,800.

Run to the side, you idiot!

Run!

Russia was our ally.

Saddle up!

Said he'd never even seen a gun till we showed up.

Save it for when we get closer to the group.

Say again, your last.

See what happens if this guy hits one right now.

See you at the rendezvous, Chapman.

Seismic charges for the geological survey.

Senator?

Send up a flare so we can find you.

Set a perimeter of 300 meters. Do not engage.

Set up the 50!

Seven confirmed KIA.

Seven survivors.

Shake it off, guys! Let's move out.

She said we just had our baby boy.

She's called the Grey Fox.

Simple, really.

Sir!

Sir?

Sir?

Skull Island.

Slivko and the rest are unknown.

Slivko, do you know what you're doing back there?

Slivko, get her out of there!

Slivko, hang on!

Slivko!

Slivko!

Snap to, Lieutenant.

So he flew higher and higher

So if you like your hands, don't touch anything.

So our families and our countrymen don't have to be afraid!

So they gave us wings of white hot, cold rolled

So this was never about geology.

So we can send the cavalry.

So we need someone like you,

So what are we going to do?

So what do you think, fellas?

So what're you gonna do when you get back to the world, Chapman?

So whatever's there,

So you didn't get the message, Randa?

So, good news.

So, I will get the piggyback for you. I will.

So, tell me, did I get it?

So, tip for everybody,

So, uh, how much do we tell him?

So, wait, are we just not gonna talk about this?

So, what imaginary monster are you hunting this time?

Some kind of mythic hero.

Some of the things they were afraid of

Some of them don't even seem to age.

Somebody cover the civilians' six. Let's move!

Somebody talk to me, man.

Sometimes, an enemy doesn't exist

Sometimes, life just punch you in the balls.

Sounds like a bird, but it's a fucking ant.

Speed of progress in the satellite project

Split up, survey your zones.

Started protecting them against the things that were eating them.

Stay back!

Stay on the boat if you want to.

Stay tight.

Steve,

Still got a man out there, Conrad.

Stop the war! Stop the war!

Stop!

Substantiating what most people think is a crackpot idea.

Sure you don't wanna take some time?

Sure, you could load up on the atabrine for the malaria,

Survey your perimeter.

Switch to inertial navigation.

Take us closer.

Taking an R and R day, or you good to go?

Tang. Spam.

Ten, fifteen.

Than a hot dog and a beer

Thank God you guys are okay!

Thank you, Cole, for clearing that up. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. I really owe you one.

Thank you. Thank you.

That actually explains a lot.

That American troop withdrawal is directly on the release of U. S. prisoners of war.

That is beyond description or comprehension at this time.

That is one ugly ass bird.

That Landsat thing? You got it.

That man is king!

That may be our only safe departure window for an unknown period of time.

That means we'll be by ourselves.

That sounds good.

That there are these massive underground spaces

That thing looks like it's made out of pure tetanus.

That thing that just shredded us was only the first of them.

That wall,

That was an unconventional encounter.

That'd be good enough for me.

That's a hell of a long time to be scared.

That's death.

That's Kong.

That's the big one.

That's the threat. And there are more of them down there.

That's too short.

That's when one of them things got him.

That's where the skull things live.

That's why Kong got so mad.

That's why we say it!

The 1954 Castle Bravo nuclear tests

The bedrock,

The Beltway is experiencing significant delays.

The boat must be around that bend.

The Colonel said he's there, he's there.

The crash site's just on the other side of this valley.

The Cubs?

The guy's wound pretty tight.

The Iwis won't speak their name.

The land where God did not finish creation.

The most intelligent inhabitants of that future world

The mouse kills the lion with the thorn.

The one guy in the crowd who actually took me seriously.

The people on this island lived in fear.

The question is how long before they take it back.

The right photo can help shape opinions.

The seismic response is incredible.

The storm's interference will block all radio contact with the ship.

The United States is making it clear to the Communists

The way they tell it, for thousands of years,

The whole committee laughed out loud.

The world is bigger than this.

Their deaths will not go unanswered.

Their flare was only two klicks north.

Theirs, what lies beneath.

Then I thought he was crazy when he said the earth was full of monsters.

Then it's, "Goodnight, Irene."

Then the big one comes up.

Then we'll end them, too!

There is no way I'm getting on that helicopter.

There she is.

There was no island.

There we go.

There you go then.

There!

There'll never be a more screwed up time in Washington.

There's a river a couple of klicks from here.

There's enough munitions on that downed Sea Stallion

There's more out there.

There's no crime,

There's no tactical precedence.

There's one.

There's something going on here, something that nobody is talking about.

There's something out there, man.

There's water close by.

These men did not die in vain.

These people live up on top of the trees while we're down on the roots.

They come from the vents deep down.

They got his attention the first time.

They need helicopter transport for a survey job.

They never smile.

They offered me money.

They say you can shack up here.

They searched for him for months but...

They should be here soon.

They shouldn't even know a thing like this exists!

They take the summers off?

They told my family she was sunk in battle,

They told us to leave at dawn.

They were trying to kill something.

They will take it back.

They'll be machines.

They'll proliferate out of control.

They'll send a search party.

They're all down. Every one of them.

They're big lizard things. Nasty.

They're crafty bastards. Mean as hell.

They're past all that.

Third time's the charm. Here we go. Here we go!

This is a bad idea.

This is a bad idea.

This is a good group of boys.

This is a satellite photo

This is all hallowed ground to them.

This is all the information that we have.

This is an opportunity for our country.

This is crazy.

This is Fox Leader to Fox Group!

This is Fox Leader to Fox Group.

This is his home. We're just guests here.

This is my colleague Steve Woodward, our data wrangler.

This is one war we are not gonna lose.

This is only a map survey.

This is Packard.

This is Slivko. Do you read?

This is the edge of the island.

This is what's left of Kong's parents.

This island is just the beginning.

This man's name was Gunpei Ikari.

This mission to the crash site is folly.

This place is a real no no, sir.

This place is hell.

This place will change.

This planet doesn't belong to us.

This ship washed up about 10 years before I did.

This storm looks a lot nastier in person.

This thing brought us down! It killed my men!

This thing's moving!

This way to Key West?

This way.

This world never belonged to us. It belonged to them.

Those bombs woke up a bunch of them.

Thought you were taking a dirt nap by now, Slivko.

Three days later, the refuel team

Three klicks west of Red LZ.

Till you go looking for one.

Tip top.

To better help us understand the density of the earth.

To end the war, and bring peace with honor in Vietnam.

To finish the job.

To lead us on our ground expedition.

To one of the last uncharted areas on the face of the Earth.

To the north end of the island?

To work for peace,

Tomorrow night, the Russian Novosat passes over this sector.

Took it off a farmer fighting for the NVA.

Troops and civilians, board assigned aircraft.

Try this.

Trying to prove the truth of what I learned that day.

Turn right, heading 2 5 0. Contact approach...

Two mikes till launch.

Two mikes till launch.

Two years in country. Where you been?

U nless you got a better idea, I suggest we get cracking.

Ugh!

Uh huh. That makes sense.

Uh huh. You believe that?

Uh uh.

Under beds and signing paychecks.

Unless they were eaten by something that's bigger than us.

Unless you're picking a fight.

Until the sun melted his wings

Up in the trees, too.

Vietnam's not an island, dumbass.

Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait.

Wait a second. You got someone out there?

Wait for us till dawn.

Wait here.

Washington notified the Viet Cong

Wasn't Kong the one who killed your friend?

Watch those fumes!

We abandoned it.

We also put a man on the moon.

We are going down.

We are soldiers!

We can look forward to the greatest age in the history of mankind.

We can make it.

We can't stay here. We have to get off the island.

We could piggyback on that operation.

We could talk about that.

We did ask to arm those helicopters. Shouldn't they know why?

We did the best we could in the situation.

We do the dirty work,

We don't have a day.

We don't know for sure what's there.

We don't send out a search party.

We don't wanna fight here, Packard.

We got hitched right before I deployed.

We got men going out the door!

We got you!

We gotta be there in three days!

We have an old saying here. "East is best, west is worst!"

We have him in sight!

We have lives. I have a life.

We have to go. Now.

We haven't even started on the things that want to eat you alive.

We hook up with Chapman,

We just got taken down by a monkey the size of a building!

We just have to make it by the exit window.

We lost one, too.

We met this, like, crazy Santa Claus, time traveler guy

We need their location, Slivko.

We need to be going to the north side right now.

We need to stop him.

We picked up a hitchhiker.

We set sail on this new sea

We should have shut you down years ago.

We should head north and join anyone we find.

We specialize in the hunt for Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organisms.

We were never on an island.

We were this close to getting it working.

We will be the first to break through to the other side.

We'll buy you time.

We'll come to you. There's enough munitions

We'll cross through and make it to the highest point west.

We'll double that.

We'll find a way to signal the ship.

We'll fly in over the south shore and then strategically drop seismic charges

We'll go ashore, meet up with Packard.

We'll make it to the boat, and we'll make it to the north shore in time.

We'll make it. We're gonna make it.

We'll meet again

We'll then land and make base camp

We'll use explosives to shake the earth and create vibrations,

We're all gonna die together out here.

We're also pleased to be joined, for the first time,

We're back here by nightfall, understood?

We're going down!

We're going home!

We're going home.

We're going to save Kong.

We're gonna get him home, sir.

We're gonna get out of here.

We're gonna get you home.

We're headed north to the exfil location.

We're just scholars and scientists. We need someone with experience.

We're not at war, Colonel. You're making a mistake.

We're on a ploat.

We're on the south side of the island.

We're out of range, Slivko.

We're really not gonna talk about it?

We're scientists now!

We're still going to that crash site.

We're, literally, up a creek.

Weapons! Enough to kill it.

Weaver, get up on those rocks and fire a flare.

Weaver!

Weaver? Weaver.

Welcome to Monarch.

Well, it's not coming from us.

Well, that's lovely.

Well, the man's a decorated war hero. That's the package they come in.

Well, would you look at that?

Well. Okay.

Were they ever good?

Weren't tests.

West? We can't go west!

What about the Cubs? The Cubs win a World Series yet?

What about you, sir?

What about you?

What are you doing down here?

What did they do? Just leave him up there?

What do you mean, "more"?

What happened to swing?

What happened with the war? Did we win?

What happens when they show up on your doorstep?

What island?

What kind of boat y'all got?

What kind of music is that?

What lands here tends to stay here.

What the hell is that?

What the hell is this place?

What the hell is this?

What the hell, man?

What you writing there, Chap?

What?

What?

What?

What're you hoping you'll find?

What's at that crash site that you want so badly?

What's he eating?

What's the old man getting us into, Cole?

When I first wrote that paper on the Hollow Earth theory,

When this war ends, we'll never get approval for our expedition.

When you're up for the cover of Time?

When you've been here as long as I have, you start to understand. You'll see.

Where are you two going?

Where'd y'all get a boat?

Where's Randa?

Whether this new ocean

Which has made this victory possible,

Which one?

Who are you?

Who do you think would win in a fight? A tiger or a cub?

Who or what am I tracking?

Who the hell is this?

Who told you that, Cole?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa, whoa. Wait! Hold your fire!

Whoa, yeah, the Tigers. Did they win at all this year?

Whoa!

Whoo!

Whose father gave him wings made of wax

Whose side are you on, Captain?

Why are you keeping us here?

Why do we need a tracker? And why SAS?

Why does a geological mapping mission need explosives?

Why don't we leave it to Colonel Packard to break the tie?

Why?

Why?

Why? And raise an alarm?

Will be a sea of peace

Will meet us here on the north end of the island.

Wind it up, let's go!

Wise call.

With another jungle.

With any luck, Brooks will see it.

With your permission, of course.

With your skill, your unique expertise in uncharted jungle terrain,

Won't be men or monkeys.

Word will get out.

Yeah, because a cub is a baby bear.

Yeah, but those guys are nuts.

Yeah, but, Cole, what happens if Chapman's not...

Yeah, it's a rare low pressure pocket.

Yeah, she definitely thinks you're dead, man.

Yeah, you might have a shitty mom.

Yeah, you smell that?

Yeah! My pop's a mechanic.

Yeah! We're on a boat. We're on a boat

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir. I miss the parade?

Yes!

Yes!

Yes! Yes!

Yes?

Yes.

Yesterday, I was a crackpot.

You ain't funny, Cole.

You ain't gotta twist my arm.

You and your boys up for one last op?

You are going to tell me everything I don't know,

You are more beautiful

You be strong, now.

You call them whatever you want.

You came here looking for a tracker.

You can't get to the north end in three days.

You can't kill Kong, Colonel.

You do know that story is about a mouse becoming friends with the lion

You don't know that.

You don't like the way I'm running things?

You don't strike me as a mercenary.

You don't strike me as a war photographer.

You don't wanna be out here at night.

You don't wanna wake up the big one.

You dropped those charges to flush something out.

You ever heard the story of the mouse, the lion, and the thorn?

You got a bed, right?

You gotta be kidding me.

You guys are not scientists.

You have no idea how dangerous this is.

You hear me? This is nuts!

You hear that, boys?

You heard of the USS Lawton?

You just gonna sit there?

You knew that thing was out here?

You know it's the wrong thing to do, son.

You know they're lying.

You know this is not normal, right? Stuff like that doesn't just happen!

You know where the door is.

You know why I carry this instead of an M 16?

You know, southwest...

You may outrank me,

You might wanna hang on.

You need anything, sir?

You on board with me here?

You promise me? Last favor? Okay?

You running with the big dogs or staying on the porch?

You set this in motion when you put this place on the map.

You should come with us.

You should see me in the library.

You shouldn't have come here.

You three need to go back to the boat. It's that way.

You wanna launch, you do it from here.

You wanna talk with him about it again?

You want us to find it first.

You weren't listening in class.

You'd be home by now.

You'll find your Sea Stallion three klicks up that ridge.

You're a good group of boys to die with, I'll tell you that much.

You're damn right.

You're dropping bombs?

You're enjoying this, right?

You're like a time traveler, man.

You're mighty right, we can make it.

You're not actually gonna blame the people without guns

You're okay.

You've been here since World War II?

You've lost your mind.

Your dad was one of the best to ever do it.

Your job is finding lost men, right?

Your lies got my men killed!

Your mouth is moving.

Your orders to head home are already processed.

28 years, 11 months

50 miles, maybe more.

1800 tomorrow.

Am I? Yes.

And you're gonna get us all killed! Not our fight.

Are you cool with that? Yeah...

Battery? Check.

Clear! Clear!

Cole, no! Cole!

Cole, no! Stop!

Cole! Cole! Cole!

Come on, man. Seems like

Detroit. Okay.

Do you love your mama? I love her!

Engine start? Check three times.

Fox Nine is down! Whoa!

Generator start? Check, check.

Good to see you, sir. We're all right.

Guys. Stop, stop.

Hang on! Watch out!

headed up north on a river. A boat?

Hey, Mills. Yeah?

How big is it? It's bigger.

How much do you love your mama? I love my mama so much!

I don't know. I doubt it. Yeah.

I know. It's dawn.

I like the name, so... That seems like a great name.

I promise I will tell the Russians. She's gonna tell the Russians.

I thought you were crazy. I wish I had been.

I wanna go home. We get it.

I'm talking? Yes.

In three days? Yes.

isolated from the surface world. Passageways.

Just "Conrad." I'm decommissioned. Mmm hmm.

Make what? The exfil!

No, no! Mills!

Oh, God! Ahh!

or when I'm not talking. You're talking.

Our opening is now. Through this hole right here?

Prime the lines. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Royal Air Force? It was my father's.

Slivko. What?

Stop the war! As citywide protests

To reschedule? For the fifth time? I must've missed it.

Up in the trees! Guns up!

Watch out! What is it?

Watch your six! Up above!

Weaver. Yeah, it's Jerry.

Wha... We did that.

What the hell is that? I don't know!

What's your count? What you see

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Stop, stop!

You've been here since '44? Yeah.

...that we, today, have concluded an agreement

'Cause it sounds neat.

"'Maybe I should fly straight through it? '

"and make gentle the life of this world."

"Because that's what's about to happen."

"but I lied straight to your face.

"Dear Billy.

"I hope this letter makes up for it."

"I know I said I'd be home by your birthday,

"I'm a terrible dad.

"It's fine."

"To tame the savageness of man

"You ever looked into a hurricane and decide,
