The next day.  Oh, look who is taking over another strange incident on foreign soil?  Why, it’s the U.S. military.  The captain in charge (Richard T. Jones) courteously asks Serizawa who he wants on his team.  Instead of saying “I’ll take Joe’s disks and that strong-looking young soldier over there,” Serizawa instead must have half-dead Joe, who ends up dying on the transport out of Japan.  I wonder if Serizawa now regrets not choosing a team who was a little less mostly-dead?  For some reason, everyone immediately assumes that Joe had spilled all his secrets to Ford, which, even if so, how much weight would they really give hearsay that originated from someone they classified as crazy?

Ford wracks his brain and remembers one thing:  “something about echolocation.”  Apparently, that was the winning phrase, because Serizawa pretty much instantly knows what is going on and summons everyone to the briefing room.  Wow – that was some pretty intense research Joe had his hands on, if a mumbled “something about something” summed the whole thing up.  Ha – I could be a scientist!
