They spot the Statue of Liberty's head smashed in the street and a giant monster stomping through Manhattan. Now, Rob gets a call from his girlfriend Beth (Odette Yustman) telling him that she is trapped in a building. Rob and Hud are joined by Jason (Mike Vogel), Lily (Jessica Lucas), and Marlena (Lizzy Caplan), and they head off into the chaos to save Beth.
