JAKE: My generation...
we were born into war.
(indistinct chatter over comms)
Giant monsters attacked our world.
(roars)
We called 'em Kaiju.
(roars)
They came through the Breach.
A gateway to another dimension
at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.
They were sent by an alien race on the other side...
the Precursors.
We fought back,
building our own monsters.
Jaegars... giant robots.
So big they needed two pilots to run 'em.
My father was one of them.
He sacrificed himself to help save the world.
I... am not my father.

LIWEN: My drones are the next step
in Jaeger evolution.
The system I designed processes commands
through a quantum data core.
This means that a single pilot
can operate the drone remotely from anywhere in the world.
As soon as the council approves deployment,
based on Secretary General Mori's final report,
the days of struggling to find and train
drift compatible pilots will be a thing of the past.

I don't trust the tech. Not yet, at least.

Remote systems can be hacked or compromised.
No, you've got the key vote, right?
So there you go. It's your decision.
I wish I could just go ahead and approve them.
Nearly half the council is backing Liwen.
They aren't going to like my decision.
Who cares what they like and what they don't like?
I'll tell you what, I'm gonna go with you.
For moral support.
Plus, I want to get out of this place.
I'm glad you offered, because I already requested
Gipsy Avenger as honor guard at the Council Summit.
Look, you know Gipsy's Nate's ride.
His copilot works for Liwen now. He needs a new one.
One that you already know is drift compatible.
All right.

Obsidian Fury was jamming comms.
How could her signal get through?
QUAN: It didn't.

I might be able to reconstruct a few megabytes.
There.
Is that a Kaiju?

MEILIN: News feed said
they were posting a dozen Jaegers at the memorial.
When I die, I want that many to send me off.
Your pop's gonna make you work with boobs when you wash out.
Jaegers do not show up when the boob guy dies.

In half a Jaeger.
It was a whole Jaeger.
It just wasn't very big, Viktoriya.
Bigger is better.

Am I saying that right?
Yep.

Mako Mori, she said, "Whoever you are,
"the minute you enter this program, you join a family.
"And no matter what they do,
no matter how stupid they may act sometimes..."
"...you forgive 'em and you move on."
So you start believing that. In here.
And you'll start believing in a Jaeger.
JULES: Hey.

GOTTLIEB: Well, nothing anymore.
A facility roughly in this location
was used to manufacture Jaeger power cores earlier in the war.

What the hell is that?
It's definitely Kaiju.
A secondary brain used to control the hindquarters.
How'd they get into our world?
There hasn't been a breach in ten years.
Sensors would've picked it up.
I don't think there was a breach.
Kaiju flesh...
has a distinct radioactive half-life signature.
Particular to the Anteverse.
This specimen does not.
Wait, so, you're-you're saying that it's from our universe?
The genetic fingerprints indicate distinctly terrestrial
modification techniques, probably engineered
from Kaiju flesh left over from the war.
Precursors didn't do this.
Humans did.
SURESH: Oh, my God.
That hunk of slimy crap was piloting Obsidian Fury?
AMARA: We got to get a look inside.
Inside?
That thing's part Kaiju.
Come on, guys. When are we ever gonna get a chance

Never.

He's got some scarring, but yeah, he'll live.
Marshal put him on probation.
Meilin and Suresh, too.
They blink wrong, all of 'em are out.
No, it's not their fault.
- I talked them into it. - I'm sorry, I tried to talk
to the marshal, but...
you're dismissed from the program.
Never belonged here anyway.
Really?
You know, I used to say the same thing a long time ago.
But I actually didn't want to be here.
Still don't.
Why'd you sign up?
We were at war.
And my dad was leading the charge
and I thought... maybe I could see more of him.
Maybe even drift with him.
Well, one night, me and Nate got into it.
It was over something stupid. I can't even remember what.
So I climbed in an old Mark 4
just to show him I didn't need him to be a great pilot.
That's pretty dumb.
- Yeah. - How far'd you get?
- About seven steps, well, take or leave. - How far did you get?
About two steps, then I blacked out from the strain.
And the first thing I saw when I woke up was my dad,
just standing right in front of me, looking stern.
Wh-What'd he say?
He said I was out of the program.
He said I didn't deserve to be in a Jaeger.
Look, he said a lot of things.
A year later, my dad was gone.
And I didn't get a chance to prove him wrong.
More importantly, I didn't get a chance to prove it to myself.
You listen to me.
Don't let what other people think of you
define who you are.
You won't like where that takes you.
Do you understand?
And keep your head up.
And you might just be as good-looking as me
in this type of situation.
- (scoffs, laughs) - Seriously.
This face is, is set up well.
Beauty is a burden. (chuckles)
You'll be all right.
Shao Industries.
What?
Obsidian Fury has tech in it made by Shao Industries.
That's impossible. Jules and her team
scanned every centimeter of that Jaeger.
Insulating metamaterials wound counterclockwise
in the shunt cabling.
Shao's the only company that winds them that way.
Amara, are you sure about what you're telling me right now?
Yes.
Yeah.
I stole a ton to make Scrapper.
I thought it might be important.
Yeah.
- (lock beeps) - Thank you.
GOTTLIEB: Shao Industries?
They don't even have a bio division.
Yeah, not that we know of.
Cabling could have been stolen, just like in Amara's Jaeger.
We're gonna need more than that to connect Fury to Shao.
What about Newt?
He'd have access to the internal records,
- the shipping manifests... - JAKE: All right.
Go see him. Keep a low profile.
I have a mission? Finally.
We'll take what we know to the marshal.

No visitors without the proper credentials.
I don't want anyone interfering with deployment.

Are you reading this?
That's one of my automated factories.
It was Newt.
He's in Tokyo.

You guys okay?
Guardian's down.

Suresh didn't make it, sir.

LAMBERT: You guys okay?
We're a little banged up, but we're still in the fight.
RENATA: Us, too, Saber.
I mean, Saber Athena, sir!
JAKE: Saber, Bracer,
prepare to intercept at the following coordinates.
- Let's finish this. - Move your ass,
- and don't be late. - Copy.
Bracer Phoenix hauling ass!
Gipsy to Command, do you have a tactical scan of the hostile?
Assessing data from their sensors.
We have it, Gipsy, but it's still compiling.
JAKE: No time. Can you locate the brains?
Hostile's central brain mass is heavily armored.
Your weapons won't be able to penetrate.
What about a secondary brain?
This son of a bitch have one of those?
Hostile has three secondary brains,
one for each component Kaiju.
Sending intel.
- (beeping) - Package confirmed for Saber Athena!
- Confirmed for Bracer Phoenix. - (alarm beeping)

Bye!
Liwen! Is there anything you can do to help?
- I need more time! - We don't have any!
- If the hostile reaches Mount Fuji... - JAKE: Understood.
Not gonna let that happen.
(grunts)
- (yelling) - (electrical whirring)
Jake, you can't operate Gipsy without a copilot!
- The strain will tear your mind apart! - (groaning)

What do we do now?
Regroup with the others.
Amara!

I told you.

Amara, you're up.
What are you doing?
Getting the hell out of your way.
You got this, brother.

Okay.

Gottlieb, do you have enough fuel left in your thrusters
- to launch us into the atmosphere? - The atmosphere?
- Yeah. - Possibly, but there won't be
- enough to slow your reentry. - We don't need to slow down.
We're gonna drop Gipsy right on top of that thing.
I just ejected my escape pod.
Yeah. We'll have to use mine.
Jake, there's only one thruster with enough fuel remaining.
- Sending location. - All right, checking.
We're too far away.
We're not gonna make it.
LIWEN: Gipsy Avenger! Transport inbound!
Remote systems are online. Sending help!
Scrapper!

Stand by!

JAKE: Come on, come on! Move them little legs!
AMARA: The thruster's way too strong.
There's no way we can hold on to it!
JAKE: Liwen, what do you got?
I can weld it to your hand.
I upgraded Scrapper's weapons.
Nice. I was actually gonna do that.
- No, you wasn't. - Yes, I was.
We only got one shot at this.
Yeah! Then let's make it count.
(Amara shouting)
- I'm stuck! - Stay there!
You're an extra ton we can drop on that thing!

Be advised, we just caught ourselves a Newt.
JAKE (chuckles): Copy that.
There he is.
I'm glad you're still okay, man.
LAMBERT: You, too, brother. I knew you could do it.
Well, I had a lot of help.
- Nice work, Ranger Namani. - Thank you, sir.
- Never seen snow before. - So out of all the things
to notice right now, you're noticing snow?
Big, dead Kaiju is just, is right there,
- and I'm not sure if... - Okay, okay, all right.
Is this the part where you're gonna give me
one of those big, dumb speeches, 'cause...
Did everyone think it was dumb or is that just your opinion...
Just be honest, how many times did you practice that in front
- of the mirror? - It was motivational.
- Okay. - You can be whoever you want to be.
- (Amara shouts, laughs) - Oh!
- Fire! - Okay. Oh, now you want to play that?
I'm a natural at this.
- No, you're not a natural because... - Ha!
Give me a break. I've never done this before.
