Packard and his remaining men bury their dead comrades and begin searching for the missing sole surviving members of the expedition, including Chapman. When confronted by Packard at gunpoint, Randa reveals his affiliation to the secret government organization Monarch and the expedition's true purpose to acquire proof of the existence of forgotten monsters. Their only hope for rescue is a resupply team that will meet them at the island's northern end in three days. Having downed all of the choppers, Kong leaves while the survivors are split into small groups. During Kong's rampage, Packard stares up at him, interlocking eyes with the giant ape, filled with rage.
Unfortunately, the group are interrupted when they suddenly find themselves attacked by a mountainous ape known as Kong, who hurls a palm tree into one of the helicopters before ripping them out of the sky and smashes them to pieces. Upon arriving on Skull Island, Packard's men begin dropping explosives developed by seismologist Houston Brooks to determine if the ground is hollow, despite Conrad's objections. The group is soon joined by "anti-war" photographer Mason Weaver, who is assigned to take pictures of the expedition, when in reality, she plans to expose it as the covert military operation she believes it to be.
Randa also recruits the Sky Devils, a helicopter squadron led by Lieutenant Colonel Preston Packard and prominently made up of his right-hand, Major Jack Chapman and Captain Earl Cole to escort them to the island. In 1973, as the Vietnam War dies down, former British Special Air Service Captain James Conrad is hired by government agent Bill Randa to guide an expedition to map out a mysterious uncharted region in the Pacific dubbed " Skull Island", which has never been mapped due to perpetual storms surrounding it. He encounters a Japanese pilot on the beach and fights him, but as they struggle, they are interrupted when the silhouette of a massive creature suddenly appears and looms over the two. In 1944, an American pilot falls out of his damaged P-51 Mustang.
