Kong: King of the Apes (2016) s01e04 Episode Script

Poacher's Prize

Trust me, I'm your friend.
Bawk! Run for your lives! Finger five on it! Regard my latest and perhaps greatest creations the bionoclone! The natural instinct of all savage beasts, even highly enhanced clones, is to mistrust humankind.
Hmm, in your case, their instincts are dead on.
True, but my science will overcome even those instincts.
Because I hold the controls.
These bionoclones I created from Lady's DNA will make the perfect designer guard pets for my black market buyers.
So much for free will.
Who needs nature when I command science? So far so good.
- I don't see a thing.
- Hmm.
Neither do I.
What am I looking for? You'll see.
Or you won't.
Lucky! Jonesy made a mobile camo-generator inside Kong's jet pack! - Sweet, huh? - Cool! Totally! I want one! Sorry, Panchi, but our jet packs aren't big enough to add a camo-generator.
Even with a Kong-size unit, so far I can only get it to last two to three minutes at a time.
Not quite four yet.
Good news is, the unit can regenerate on the fly.
But it still poops out too soon.
Jonesy said "poop.
" What are you, ten? Uh, yeah.
Ten years, two months, and nine days, actually.
Hopefully you can amp it up to last at least a few more minutes each time.
That thing poops out in the middle of a mission and it's game over.
Ha! Lukas said it, too! Poops! Boys.
As you can see, Botila, the same technology I use to keep you and all my bionobots under my control is installed in each of my bionoclones, which, of course, are worth more than normal clones or even bots.
Because I can boost their aggression response, turning them from exotic pets into living weapons! Each bionoclone has a control device keyed to their internal tech.
The controls can only be keyed with the bionoclones present, so my clients will be forced to return for any expensive repairs or upgrades.
As long as Kong's invisible we might as well see what Richard's up to.
What? That looks like Lady! But how? We know she didn't survive that night No, Kong! It's not Lady.
Don't go down there! Kong! - Did he go? - No idea! But I do see something interesting.
Three ligers! You see, Kong! It's not Lady.
Kong, are you still here? Good boy, Kong.
Lukas, I think it's safe to say, your brother's up to something big, nasty, and unnatural.
As usual.
Yeah, they look so much like Lady I'm guessing they're some kind of clones.
But cloning's been highly regulated ever since the Giant Tentacle Disaster of 2027.
Not that that would stop Richard for a hot second.
Hey, bro.
Thanks for sticking close.
Time to beat it back to base to recharge your camo-generator.
Don't worry, big guy, I've been working on a little something that should help do the trick.
Chatter Cam is up and running.
That is totally brilliant, Jonesy.
Yeah, I know.
Super spy! Bawk! On the fly! Bawk! Bawk! Yo, double O, tone it down, or you'll blow your cover.
Big tough cats.
One twist and you're helpless as kittens.
Sit tight.
You got a date with a rich guy who likes very expensive toys! Looks like they're headed towards the bridge.
That's where we'll stop them.
Clones aren't real animals.
I wonder if I'll be able to talk to them.
Clones are living creatures.
They deserve the same kindness and respect as all animals.
Right, Lukas? Absolutely, Panchi! What Richard's doing is abusing nature and science.
Never forget, Danny, all life is precious.
So let's go save those lovely Ladies! Sit up! Now, roll over! What the This can't be happening! Uh-oh.
Not even two minutes this time.
Looks like it's back to the drawing board.
- Oh, poop! - Double poop.
The ape has camo-tech! And a jet pack! I'm the one who's supposed to have the best toys! You're jealous of a feebleminded primate? Oh, just go to the bridge and get my bionoclones back! Now! The monster ape's after our clones! We need to corral those wildcats with these I hate that overgrown gorilla.
Our cover's blown! Danny, take over the controls and activate autopilot! You got it, Lukas! Jonesy, let's use your laser-nets to bag those ligers and get them out of here before the police Lukas Remy, surrender with your ape or we open fire.
Oh, this does look bad for brother dear.
But not quite bad enough for my taste.
Oh, this could not get any worse! Okay, so I was wrong.
Get on! Now! Please, remain calm! My bionobotic dinosaurs will not harm you.
I sent them to help protect you from the savage ape and wild ligers Lukas Remy has viciously unleashed on San Francisco! Ah, great! I'll take down that wildcat with this tranquilizer dart.
I have assigned my most trusted and competent agents to resolve this emergency as quickly as possible.
Way to go, Kong! Whoa! Take it easy! We're on your side.
Good time to find out if you can talk to clones.
Okay, just get in the cage and we'll take you someplace safe I promise.
You can add clone-whisperer to your Kong can't swim! If he falls in the water, he's sunk! Did you hear that? Loud and clear.
That dumb ape doesn't know how to swim.
Uh, which one of these buttons activates the smoke screen? It beats me.
I just eenie-meenie-miney-moe it.
Huh? I don't know the Spanish translation for eenie-weenie-whatever.
So I'll just try this one! Whoops! Okay.
How about this one? All right! Now, the police and Botila can't see anything! And neither can we! Oops.
Uh, but don't sweat it, I'll just set the autopilot for home.
And we're outta here! Eat smoke, Botila! C'mon, Kong! Let's make like a banana and split! I cannot believe you said that.
Gonna be tough to spot the cats now.
I see one running into the Redwoods with Botila on her heels.
- But I don't see the other.
- I do! The poachers are chasing her towards SF.
Right, I'll head for the city since I'm sure you'll want to go after Botila.
You got that right.
I miss 2049, when criminals were just evil, not supersized.
Hold your fire, Botila, or I won't hold mine! You asked for it! You are consistently annoying me, Mr.
Jones.
Part of my charm! And after all we've been through, call me Jonesy.
Huh! On foot in the Redwoods, I definitely have the advantage.
Just keep telling yourself that, Mr.
Jones.
Hey, I think I spotted the cat! Ugh, useless! Is that your heart beating for me, Jonesy? Time for me to break it.
Back off, Botila.
I'm a 7th-Dan black belt in bojutsu.
And I am an advanced cybernetic organism with carbon-steel driver cables and a 20 terabyte memory loaded with every fighting system in history.
So I won't need this to snap you like a twig.
Well, you've gotta catch this running back before you can snap 'em! Hmm.
Pursue easily reproduced bionoclone or dispose of Mr.
Jones permanently? No contest.
That's right, keep coming.
I knew you'd fall for me some day.
Easy, girl.
Easy.
The laser net won't hurt you.
Back off, monkey boy.
My bounty ain't getting away this time.
Yeah! Talk about catching your quarry in your sleep! No! Glad to see you kids made it home safely.
- Lukas? - Not back yet.
But Amy's been studying the liger Kong caught and she says it's not just a clone.
She's packed with bionotech! Richard just can't stop messing with Mother Nature.
What about the others? I got rid of Botila, but lost the liger.
At least I got her off its trail.
Oh, pobre Lucky.
He must think that she is his real mommy.
Sorry, little guy, but she's not Oh, well, sort of, but I mean Huh.
I don't know what I mean.
Lucky, careful, she could Love you to death.
Okay! Family moment.
I get it.
Hey, look! I'll bet she picked up Lucky's scent and followed it here.
Botila, what's taking you so long? We need to be ready when my brother tries to take the bait.
I am here.
Good! Did you get the other cat? I What do you think? Okay, we know we need to get the last liger from Kong Island, but we need a solid plan.
Uh-oh, I know that look.
Oh, he's heading towards Kong Island! We better get Lukas and Jonesy! No time! Kong's gonna need our help.
Then I better call them.
Hey! Where is my phone? No idea, but I've got What! Mine's gone, too.
Chatter! Bawk! Say cheese! Bawk! Panchi, look! There she is! Do you think it's a trap? Hello! It's always a trap.
That's just part of the deal.
Richard will definitely set a trap.
And we'll need to stay away from the water to avoid the giant squid.
How can a squid be out of the water? Hello! It's not really a squid! Duh, right.
The element of surprise is crucial.
Stealth is our best weapon against Richard's superior forces.
We've gotta be silent as ninjas.
We can bypass his cameras here and here.
Richard will never even see us.
Dumb monkey doesn't even know when he's beaten.
Perhaps because you have not yet succeeded.
Ready for a bath, you dirty ape? No! Oh, whoops.
I forgot.
You can't swim.
You're an ape, Kong.
Swing like one! No! What just happened? Simply stated, I believe you failed again.
I seem to be surrounded by failures.
Okay, the plan is solid.
Let's do it! Kong didn't want to wait.
We couldn't call because Chatter swiped our phones again.
Bawk! Pretty bird! You two know you shouldn't have gone without one of us.
- Yes.
- Si.
And you'll never do it again, right? - Right.
- Si.
I still think our plan was solid.
Now that Amy's disabled the bionotech inside the ligers, Jonesy and I are gonna take them to a remote location where they'll be safe.
And where we know there are still a couple male tigers.
So these three lovely ladies won't be lonely.
Sounds like you might have some brothers and sisters soon.
Lucky's torn between staying here with you, Kong or going to live with his three moms.
Kong says whatever Lucky wants is fine with him, but he'll miss him a lot if he leaves.
We'll miss him, too.
Lucky! Don't worry, little guy, one of these days we'll all go visit your three moms in the wild! Danny, what if Richard uses Lady's DNA to make more bionoclones?
