[As the team heads toward Antarctica]
The specimen at this site has been entirely off-book, and since a more recent discovery, our data is limited. But it seems to be another apex predator.
Emma called it, 'Monster Zero'.
It may have been a rival alpha to Godzilla, battling for dominance over the other Titans.
Dr. Ilene Chen I've been scouring through thousands of years of myths and legends. But it almost as if people were scared to even write about it.
As if it was meant to be forgotten.
[As Emma explains her actions to Mark and the rest of Monarch]
And, uh...I can- I can only imagine what you are all thinking. But if there were any other way to do this, I would.
By releasing those things? That doesn't make sense-
As impossible as it seems, it does. Hear me out, Mark. After we lost Andrew, I swore his death would not be in vain. That I would find an answer. A solution to why the Titans were rising. But as I dug deeper, I realized that they were here for a reason, and that despite all the years trying to stop them, we never dared to confront the truth.
Humans have been the dominant species for thousands of years and look what's happened. Overpopulation. Pollution. War. The mass extinction we feared has already begun. And we are the cause. We are the infection. But like all organisms, the earth unleashed a fever to fight this infection. Its original and rightful rulers, the Titans. They are part of the earth's natural defense system, a way to protect the planet, to maintain its balance. But if governments are allowed to contain them, destroy them, or use them for war, the human infection will only continue to spread, and within our lifetime, our planet will perish...and so will we. Unless we restore balance.
And what's gonna to be left if you do this? A dead, charred world overrun by monsters?
No, Dr. Stanton. The exact opposite. Just as how forest fire replenishes the soil or how a volcano creates new land, we have seen signs these creatures will do the same. San Francisco, Los Vegas, wherever the Titans go, life follows, triggered by their radiation. They are the only thing that can reverse the destruction that we started. They are the only guarantee that life will carry on. But for that to happen, we must set them free.
Dr. Ilene Chen You're murdering the world.
No. Because as difficult as this will be, I promise you mankind will not go extinct. Using the ORCA, we will return to a natural order. A forgotten order where we coexisted in balance with the Titans. The first gods.
This is a dangerous path! You are meddling with forces beyond our comprehension, gambling with the lives of billions!
And what are you gambling with, Serizawa? Monarch is broken. It's on the verge of being shut down by a government whose only objective is to eradicate the creatures, and if that happens, what will our chances be?
You're out of your goddamned mind!!! First, you put our daughter's life in danger, now you decide the fate of the world. That's rich-!
I couldn't be more sane, and Madison couldn't be stronger. After we lost Andrew, I trained her to survive, and at least now, she'll has a fighting chance!
A fighting chanc-? Why don't you listen to yourself? It's not all math. Emma. Some things you can't control.
And there are some things you can't run from!
This won't bring him back to us.

The oxygen destroyer, why wasn't Monster Zero affected?
JB Jackson Barnes
I mean, I'm no scientist, but I think it has something to do with his goddamn head growing back.
Well, I've never seen anything like it. It violates everything we know about the natural order.
Dr. Ilene Chen Unless he's not part of the natural order.
Dr. Ilene Chen [shows a cave painting of Godzilla and Monster Zero]
I was able to piece this together.
Well, he looks vaguely familiar.
Dr. Ilene Chen It tells of a great dragon who fell from the stars. A Hydra whose storm swallowed both men and gods alike.
Dr. Ilene Chen Yes. He's not part of our natural order. And he's not mean to be here.
An invasive species. That could explain how he's creating these massive storms and the effect he's having on the other Titans. It's almost he's reshaping the planet to his own liking.
These legends, what did they call him?
Dr. Ilene Chen Ghidorah. "The one who is many."
Dr. Ilene Chen Ghidorah!
