Hawaii.  The Navy is heading in the direction of the MUTO (aka Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism), which is…flying?  Swimming without ruining wings? across the Pacific.  The fleet is still escorting Godzilla, who Sirezawa thinks is also tracking the MUTO.  That’s handy.  Oh…and he’s going to restore balance to nature.  I am going to ignore that statement, because…seriously?

Ford is at the airport on a terminal transport train.  He’s poking around at the Army action figure that he still has and a cute little boy spies it.  He hops onto the train, mesmerized by GI Joe, and the doors close, trapping his parents outside.  They’re going a little nuts, and for some reason Ford thinks that snatching up their son and running with him through the train will make them feel comforted.  He is yelling that he’ll bring the boy back, and then secretly-out loud hopes this good deed doesn’t make him miss his flight.

Aircraft carrier.  Apparently the Russians have lost a nuclear submarine.  It turns out the MUTO eats radiation to survive, a nice little bit of trivia that finally explains why there was no radiation at the broken nuclear plant.  They figure the MUTO is snacking on anything nuclear it comes across.  I wonder if the MUTO was flying and dove down to fetch the sub like a seagull does, or if it just swam up, shark-like, and gobbled it down.  The Navy sends a ground team into the…the jungle?  Okay.  What is left of the submarine is hanging in a tree and covered in slime from the MUTO’s innards.  I guess it only likes the nuclear parts of its food and spits out the rest.  How wasteful.  The MUTO is spotted and attacked with fighter jets, but that plan quickly fails when the MUTO takes them all out with an EMP.  Jets fall out of the sky.  Disposable Soldier Syndrome strikes.
