Tendo Choi Good morning, Becket boys!
Tendo, what's happenin', my man?
How did that date with Alison go last night, Mr. Choi?
Tendo Choi [we see Tendo in the control room as he talks to the brothers]
Oh, she loved me. Her boyfriend, not so much.
You're gonna get your ass kicked.
Tendo Choi [Tendo chuckles]
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, brother.
[at that moment, their commanding officer, Pentecost comes up behind Tendo]
Ready to drop, Mr. Choi?
Tendo Choi Ready to drop, sir. Marshall Pentecost on deck. Securing Conn Pod getting ready to drop.
[the Jaeger pod is placed in position ready for the drop]
Ready for the big drop.
American UN Representative The Kaiju are learning our defenses. They're adapting, evolving. We're losing Jaeger's faster than we can build them. Lima. Seattle. Vladivostok. Category 4 Kaiju's are now coming through the breach. I think that you can see, Marshall, this is no longer a sound strategy. The frequency of the attacks has increased. The Jaeger's are not the most viable line of defense anymore.
I am aware. Those are my ranger that die every time a Jaeger falls, which is why I'm asking you for one last chance...
British UN Representative Excuse me, Marshall. Excuse me!
One final score with everything that we've got.
British UN Representative Excuse me! The Jaeger program is dead, Marshall. On the other hand, the coastal wall program is a promising option.
American UN Representative The world appreciates all that you and your men have done, but it's over. We will authorize you to take all remaining Jaegers to the last battle station in Hong Kong. We're prepared to fund you for the next eight months while the coastal wall is completed. After that, you will receive no further support.
Canadian UN Representative You have our answer, Marshall.
Tendo Choi [the TV monitors go black as the meeting ends]
So that's it? It's over?
Suits and ties and flashing smiles. That's all they are, Stacker.
They're adapting. This isn't a defense mechanism, it's a weapon!
Tendo Choi Nothing, sir. The Mark 5's digital's fried. It'll take me two hours to reroute the auxliary. All the Jaegers, they're digital!
[approaches Stacker along with Mako]
Not all of them, marshal. [Stacker turns to him and Mako] Gipsy's analog. Nuclear.
[Stacker stares at his daughter and Raleigh, knowing he has no choice but to send them out in Gipsy Danger to face Leatherback and Otachi.]
[Stacker is finishing washing his face when Raleigh enters.]
How sick are you? And why didn't you tell me?
Uh– what's to tell? [takes a cloth and uses it to wipe his hands] You know, them Mark 1s, we scraped them bad boys together in 14 months. Last thing we were thinking about was radiation shielding. [uses the cloth to wipe his face, then throws it away] I ran nearly a dozen missions. I stayed under the medical radar for a while, but– [takes a folded shirt] –the last time I jockeyed was in Tokyo. I finished the fight solo, but for three hours, I burned. They warned me if I ever stepped foot into a Jaeger again, the toll would be too much. You and I are the only two that ever ran solo combat. That's why I brought you here.
[Raleigh and Stacker hear a computer beeping. Stacker gets a call from Tendo.]
What is it?
Tendo Choi Sir, it's happening. I just got two signatures with unprecedented dilation, 40-meter strikes.
Tendo Choi Checking the ratios, Category 4.
Tendo Choi That's the thing, they're not heading anywhere. They're hovering just above the Breach. It's– It's like they're protecting it or something.
Alright, Gipsy, Striker on deck.
Tendo Choi Sir, Herc cannot ride. His arm–
You heard me. [heads out]
[Mako swims towards and climbs Raleigh's pod. She opens the hatch to find Raleigh unconscious. Mako removes Raleigh's helmet and checks his pulse.]
I can't find his pulse. I don't think he's breathing.
Tendo Choi Mako, listen to me. I think it could be the sensors not working. We can't be sure.
[Mako pulls Raleigh up. She hugs him while sobbing.] [sobbing]
No. No. Don't go. Please.
Tendo Choi Mako.
Tendo Choi Mako.
[Mako hears Raleigh's voice.]
You're squeezing me too tight. [Mako lets go of him] I couldn't breathe.
[Mako chuckles. Everyone in the command centre cheers.]
This is Marshal Hercules Hansen. The Breach is sealed. Stop the clock!
Tendo Choi [everyone cheers as the war clock is set back to zero.]
Mako, Raleigh, we have your position. The choppers are on their way. Just– just hang on. Are you okay? Do you copy?
Tendo Choi [Raleigh and Mako touch their heads intimately.]
Uh, guys?
[Raleigh and Mako embrace as choppers fly above them.]
