And cut.
Great job, everyone.
Let's take five while we set up
for the next scene.
What is our next scene?
Volcano
with the burning forest.
Thank you very much.
Hey, Jeff, wait up.
Take a look at this.
"Ex-mayor arrested
for robbing local bank states,
'There were dinosaurs.'"
Some sort of joke, right?
I thought so, too, at first.
Then I did some research,
and it turns out
it's not the first
dinosaur sighting in the area.
Well, it's definitely
something different.
It could give us another angle
for the documentary.
I could see it now.
Crazy townspeople
still believe dinosaurs
roam the Earth.
Let's go check it out.
Set it up.
I already did.
We leave tomorrow.

[woman singing softly]
And here's my sister.
Wave to the viewers, Madison.
Stop it. I don't want
to be in your stupid post.
Come on, Maddy. You have
a great singing voice.
Mom. Ethan's videoing me
without my permission again.
How am I ever supposed
to get famous on my own?
[Latin accent]
Ethan, what have I said
about videoing people
without their permission?
-Can I have your permission?
-No.
Stop it. I really need
to leave for work,
and I don't have time for you
to be arguing with each other.
-Understood?
-Yes, ma'am.
Good. I'll see you both
when I get back home.
-Mwah. Love you.
-Love you, too.
How about a video
with you singing,
but I use graphics
instead of showing your face?
-Stop.
-Come on, Maddy.
I'm serious, Maddy.
You should share your talent
with the world.
Leave me alone.
You could help me
increase my views.
Maddy, I can make you famous.
All you have to do
is sing for my friends.
I know it will go viral.
I don't need
to go viral.
You just want to use me
so you could be famous.
You're just jealous.
It's not my fault
you're too shy
to make new friends.
You're right.
I am jealous.
We moved here
three months ago...
...and I feel just as alone
as I did in our old town.
I'm sorry, Maddy. I just think
you have a talent,
and you should share it
with the world.
Um, the-the new phone
comes out today.
Yeah?
Want to check it out?
Okay.
Hey, guys.
I'm here with my sister,
and we're gonna check out
the brand-new phone
that drops today.
[car horn blares]
[tires screech]
[man mutters]
I'm so sorry.
I-I didn't see you.
I didn't see me, either.
Oh, no. Aah.
I'm gonna call an ambulance.
Uh...
...there.
Yes. Hi.
This is Mr. Brown.
I need an ambulance, please.
Uh, fast.
No, I'm fine.
It's for somebody else.
It's for the guy
that got hit by my car.
Yes. This is my--
Yes, I was driving,
and I hit a guy.
I don't know what street
this is. It's the main one.
Just-- If you come down here,
it's the--
Yes, it's actually
Main Street. Main Street.
Wendy Jenkins.
He's talking. He's talking.
So he must be okay.
So, uh, he's gonna pull through.
So, just, uh, hurry, please.
And, uh... do I stay here?
Can I go home?
I'll stay. I'll stay.
Uh, can you connect me
with a lawyer?
I'm not opening it.
You open it.
Uch, fine.
An egg.
Where is...
[squeaks; vocalizes]
Is that a dinosaur?
No.
[wheezes]
It can't be.
[shrieks]
Don't record this.
[vocalizes]
[thud]
Sometimes I feel so small
Don't think I can do it
Wow, you're actually
really cute.
[wheezes and vocalizes]
I'm gonna name you Spike.
Here you go, Spike.
Here you go.
[beeping]
-What was that?
-It was a tracker.
Where'd you get a tracker?
Oh, I made it myself.
It's a prototype.
[squeaks]
[tracker ping]
And it clearly works.
[pings]
We got to...
We got to give back
whatever this thing is to...
What's her name?
I have it on video.
Wendy Jenkins.
There you go.
-Hello.
-Hi.
What would you like?
Double espresso, please.
Give me a latte.
And can I get your names?
-Jeff.
-Vanessa.
All right. That'll be 12.25.
Sweet. Keep the change.
Okay, so first we have
a meeting with Dr. Jost.
He's the first person
in this area
to claim he's seen
a living dinosaur.
Then we have a meeting
with the ex-mayor--
Samuel Patterson.
This will be interesting.
So, Dr. Jost,
are you currently
seeing any dinosaurs?
Or are there any dinosaurs
in the room with us right now?
Dinosaurs?
What about them?
We're in town
shooting a documentary
investigating
the claims of people
seeing living dinosaurs
roaming the area.
I just said that sentence
out loud.
Now don't look at me like that.
Wait.
Do you know anything about it?
No.
No.
-Ah.
-Thank you.
Oh, switch.
This will wake me up.
Where am I?
Sir, you need to lie down.
You've been in an accident.
I'll be right back
with your pain meds.
[fanciful music plays]
[squeaking]
Has anyone seen a guy
in rubber ducky shorts?
WOMAN ON P.A.: Dr. Holzer,
report to operating room "B."
[banging and clanging]
Dr. Holzer,
report to operating room "B."
Dr. Holzer, there you are.
Holz?
[German accent] Holzer, ja?
Dr. Schwartz
is waiting on your opinion.
Ja, ja.
Ah, this way, doctor.
In here.
Dr. Holzer, feel here.
What do you think?
Do you agree
it should come out?
[grunts]
[slide whistle; thud]
Doctor?
Doctor? Dr. Holzer,
are you all right?
[normal voice] I'm-I'm fine.
Thank you for asking.
The surgery was a success,
thanks to you.
I'm glad to hear it.
I think--
I think my work here is done.
Uh, where are you going?
Excuse me. Excuse me. Sorry.
Uh-- Hey, out of the way.
[mutters]
[indistinct chatter]
Aah...
Doctor, thank you so much
for allowing us
to meet here today.
-My pleasure.
-Could you both please
state your name into the camera,
and we will begin
the interview.
Dr. Jost, MD, PhD,
professor of anthropological
psychiatry, Vienna.
Samuel Patterson,
mayor of this fine town.
Isn't Mason Jenkins
the current mayor?
[sassy] No.
[mouths]
-I am.
-Classic sign of denial.
-Ah, ah, ah.
Now, Mr. Jost,
what have I said?
You no longer
have a medical license.
You're the patient.
I'm the doctor.
It's Dr. Jost,
and you're a hack.
There is no equal
compares to my genius mind.
-Classic sign of denial.
-I was in the process
of bringing back dinosaurs,
you see.
But I just couldn't quite
get there.
How were you planning
on bringing back dinosaurs?
Ah, excellent question.
Well, my original plans
involved the de-evolutionizing
of alligators.
I had an alligator.
Her name was Pickles.
-Pickles.
-Oh, Pickles.
Daddy misses you so much.
And then the creature I had
was the key to my experiments.
I was so close,
I had it in my grasp.
And what exactly did you have?
A real living,
breathing dinosaur.
I saw three.
Three?
How many times
do I have to tell you?
They stopped me
from getting away
with the bank's money.
They ate my plane.
Well, heh,
you can't trust dinosaurs.
Finally.
Something we agree on.
[chuckles]
Okay, thank you both very much.
-I think we're good here.
-Well, you see, if--
-Okay, gentlemen.
-If you were to combine
the DNA of a turtle--
[overlapping chatter]
I'm the mayor.
I'm telling you
there are dinosaurs.
This was your idea.
[chitters and squeaks]
I found Wendy.
She works at a coffee shop.
Okay.
We have to take Spike to her.
ETHAN: Hmm. Wait.
One video. Please?
How many times have I told you?
We cannot share this online.
Think about it.
We can become rich and famous.
The video will get,
like, a million hits.
-No, we can't.
[vocalizes]
The world
will want to see him.
Don't post anything
until we know more.
Do you realize
what we have here?
Yes, but he's not
meant for us.
It's not going
to hurt anyone, Maddy.
You've seen the movies
and what they'll do to him.
They'll put him in a cage.
Locked away, and people
have to pay to see him.
Why can't that be us?
Because it's not
the right thing to do.
[chitters]
-How do you know
that the man on the street
and Wendy
isn't planning
on doing just that?
[vocalizes]
That's not
what they're planning to do.
They want us to protect it.
I can feel it.
We need to protect Spike.
One. One quick video, I swear.
Please?
He's just a baby.
Where'd he go?
S-S-Spike?
Spike?
Spike.
Oh, no.
He's heading towards town.
No.
[door opens]
This is Jeff. He's with
the documentary film crew
I told you about.
-Hey, Jeff.
-Mr. Mayor.
Welcome to our town.
Thank you for seeing me.
-You got a lovely little town.
-Thank you.
We-We like to think so.
My crew and I are gonna
hang around in it for a few days
while we are shooting
our documentary about dinosaurs.
Had the privilege
of interviewing Dr. Jost
and your old boss--
Samuel Patterson.
[chuckles]
Well, you don't believe
their crazy stories, do you?
Tell me about it. Uh, if I could
only stay long enough
to show you the footage,
it's ridiculous.
But we have made it this far,
and we want to salvage
what we can from the trip,
so I wanted to inquire
about getting a permit
to shoot around town
and possibly interview
some of the townspeople
to get their thoughts
and opinions.
Of course.
Just ask my assistant.
She'll get you
all the necessary paperwork.
-Sounds good.
-Well, enjoy our town,
even if I think
you're wasting your time.
-You and me both.
[chuckles]
Sorry.
Sweetheart?
He came into the coffee shop
talking about dinosaurs.
I tried to call you, but
you didn't pick up your phone.
-I got here as fast as I could.
-I'm so sorry.
I've just been on phone calls
and in meetings all day.
Why did you give him
the permit?
I had to. I don't want them
getting suspicious, right?
Think we're trying
to hide something.
Yeah, you're right.
Look, they're not
gonna find anything.
Full moon
is still a few days away.
Portal's closed,
remains hidden.
All the dinosaurs
are safe and sound.
All right?
Come on.
I'll walk you out.
[panting]
Wendy. Wendy Jenkins.
Whoa. Sir, stand back.
You are Wendy Jenkins?
-Yes.
-We have to get the egg back.
It's almost a full moon.
Okay. Sir, just calm down
for a second here.
Okay. Y-You good?
All right.
What are you talking about?
Mason?
I know about the portal
and the full moon.
[whispers] And the dinosaurs.
Who are you?
I was good friends
with your gran.
I'm the one who told her
about the portal
and how it opens and that we
have to protect the dinosaurs,
and I knew it was too big a job
for just one person.
[scoffs] Trust me, I know,
but what?
Your gran told me
all about your lovely family.
I-I tried to get ahold of her
for this one,
but I couldn't reach her.
Is she okay?
Yeah. Gran's fine.
She's with my wife
and our son Curtis.
They took him
to an academic competition.
They'll-They'll be gone
for a few days.
Oh. I was hoping
we would have their help.
Right. Um...
Are you a doctor?
Am I a doctor?
Doh. No.
I was at the hospital,
and they took my clothes,
'cause I was--
This was all that I could--
Long story.
We don't have time. Listen.
A dinosaur
came through the portal
on the last full moon
and laid an egg on this side.
We have to get the egg
back to the other side
before it hatches.
Mr. Mayor, your next appointment
is waiting.
Yes, of course.
Um, just give me one minute.
Thank you. Okay.
We'll get this figured out.
Uh, but right now,
I've got to get back to work.
Wendy, t-take him
to the coffee shop, okay,
and we'll-we'll figure this out
when we get home.
Um, and here.
Get him some clothes to wear
so he doesn't stand out so much.
I beg your pardon.
I am not a person
who'll need your charity.
I'm a man of wealth
and distinction
who has left his wallet
in his other pants.
I'm terribly sorry.
I'll pay you back. I promise.
No worries. No worries.
Make sure he blends in.
Okay. Um...
Let's go.
It must be the buildings.
I keep losing signal.
Oh, what happened
to "I'm a genius"?
Oh.
[]
I haven't seen
an outfit like that
since high school.
Okay, you said
you were looking for an egg?
I'd been searching for that egg
since the portal was opened
after the last full moon.
Searched for weeks.
I finally found it.
Where is it?
I lost it. Sort of.
I got hit by a car.
I'm okay. I'm fine.
But before I passed out,
I gave the egg to some kids
to bring to you.
I haven't seen them.
What did they look like?
Well, there was a boy,
and there was a girl,
and they looked like...
those two.
Hi. Excuse me,
-are you Wendy Jenkins?
-Yes.
What happened to the bag
I gave you?
-It's at our house.
-Is the egg okay?
It hatched.
-And he got away.
-What?
But he ate the tracker
I gave him.
-Well, that's good.
-But we lost signal,
-and now we can't find him.
-That's not good.
That's so not good.
It's okay. We'll find him.
Have you ever had to deal
with a dinosaur
born on this side of the portal?
-I have.
-Portal?
It's the secret door
to the land of dinosaurs.
So, he's cranky,
because he was born on our side?
Wouldn't you be cranky
if you woke up
and there were all these people
you never saw before?
Wait. Maddy's singing
seemed to calm him down.
-Really? Cool.
-It's okay, guys.
I've dealt with this before,
and we're gonna find him.
Finding him?
That's the easy part.
He's gonna stick out
like a sore thumb.
Here's the not-so-easy part.
A egg that hatches
on this side of the portal
affects the dinosaur.
And they grow
really, really fast.
How-How fast?
Well, if he was hatched
this morning,
he would have been
about this big.
Now he'd be like, oh...
How big?
Divide by-- Carry the four.
Then divide by the hypotenuse
and square root...
That big.
-Spike.
-Oh.
We need to go this way.
No, my tracker
says he's going this way.
I saw him go this way.
Wait. Maybe you're right.
[beep]
-I lost signal.
-Of course you lost signal.
-It's a prototype. Please.
-Guys, guys, guys.
his isn't getting us anywhere.
We just need to regroup
and make a plan.
We have a tree house.
That works.
Come on.
-V25, take 15.
[clap]
And action.
[growls]
Uh... Shane?
What?
What? What?
You got a note for me, Jeff?
[screams; shrieks]
After it. Come on, guys.
[shrieks]
I can't believe it.
The stories are true.
Change of plans.
We gotta capture that dinosaur.
No, no, no.
[indistinct chatter]
[whimpering]
[rustling]
[Spike huffs]
[squeals; screaming]
[drums beating]
We need a professional.
You got another one.
[sighs]
This is Mayor Mason.
Miss Richards.
Miss Richards, please
just calm down for a minute
and tell me what happened.
Are you sure it wasn't
Mr. Jackson's dog Snapper?
You know he's--
he's pretty funny-looking.
Okay. Well, look,
I wouldn't be surprised
if Mr. Jackson gave him
one of those, you know,
creative haircuts that he does.
Yes. You have my word.
There is nothing to worry about.
You have a good day, too,
Mrs. Richards. Thank you.
[sighs]
-That's the tenth call.
I know. This film crew's
got the town talking.
It's dinomania.
Certainly is.
We have to keep looking.
Well, we could,
this stupid tracker
would work.
It's not your fault, Ethan.
You did your best.
We all did.
Listen,
it's gonna be dark soon,
and there are a million places
to hide in the forest.
I'm sure Spike
is gonna be safe for one night.
And-And look.
Here's town.
Here's the forest
and the portal.
Spike's instincts
are gonna have him
head to the portal and home.
I think we can count on him
heading this way and down--
Guys. A film crew is looking
for a professional tracker
that's an expert on lizards.
Hold on. Documentary crew
talking about dinosaurs
came into
the coffee shop today.
Guys, if they hire
a professional,
they're gonna find him
before we do.
Ooh.
Maybe we make sure
they hire
the right professional.
Here's what we're gonna do.
So when's this guy
supposed to be here?
In about 30 minutes.
You didn't, uh...
tell him about the dinosaur,
did you?
No. I told him the truth,
sort of.
Uh, we are a documentary crew,
and we are searching
for large lizards.
[]
[Australian accent]
Somebody waiting for a tracker?
Great. You're early.
Yep.
I am Earl Lee.
Pleased to make
your acquaintance.
Um, as mentioned on the phone,
we'd like to keep this
very discreet.
Of course.
Then I recommend
that we leave
as soon as possible.
Wait. You wanted us
to pay you first?
I did.
I did. I did.
I do.
Thank you.
Uh, w-- Aren't-Aren't you
gonna count it?
You never count your money
when you're
sitting at the table.
Come on.
Trail's getting cold.
Okay, come on, guys.
[screendoor creaks]
[door opens and closes]
Hello.
I'm here to meet a film crew
about tracking some lizards.
Oh, I am so sorry.
They just left
and told me to tell you
that they don't need you.
[grunts]
Yeah, tough break.
But please,
have anything you want on me.
Hey, I've gotta go.
Can you cover for me?
-Yeah, for sure.
-Thank you so much.
What can I get you?
Could I get a hot cocoa
with some sprinkles, please?
-Yeah, for sure.
-Maybe some of them
itty-bitty marshmallows,
if you got 'em.
[dramatic music plays]
Follow me.
-Hey.
-Hey.
-Hey.
-You guys up for this?
It's gonna take a while
to get to the portal.
BOTH: Yeah.
Battery's full.
-Tracker still isn't working.
-That's okay.
We have a pretty good idea
of where he's going.
Yep.
[squeals]
Dude, you need to shower.
I'd lay off the garlic
if I was you.
Lizard ho.
Wait.
Hey, you okay?
Yeah. Just a... little nervous.
We'll find him.
It's not just that.
I feel kind of weird
for saying this,
but sometimes
I get jealous of...
...him.
Anything he wants to do,
he just does it.
Nothing scares him.
I'd like to be like that.
Hey, you don't
have to go through this alone.
You've got us.
We've gotten through
everything so far.
We'll get through this, too.
And sometimes you don't know
how brave you are
until you have to be.
You might surprise yourself.
-Thanks.
[tracker ping]
Signal's back.
Come on, man. Getting sick
of all these trees and...
bugs. Where's the dinos--
Lizards. Big lizards.
Must be huge.
Ouch.
Gesundheit.
What are you doing?
I'm listening.
To what?
They told me not to tell you.
I thought you were an expert.
I'm an expert.
Don't I... look like an expert?
Hey.
Here we go again.
We're very close.
After him.
Hey.
[dramatic music plays]
[grunts]
What are you doing?
You said we were
hot on its trail.
We are, but it's my lunchtime.
If I don't eat,
I get lightheaded and confused.
I don't think you could
be any more confused.
[chuckles]
[stammers] Good one.
All right, guys,
let's take five.
I might need ten.
Mm.
Well, this is where
the portal opens up.
Hmm. I don't get it.
The tracker says Spike
is supposed to be right here.
[chitters]
-Ethan.
-What?
[squeals]
Where did you find this guy?
Online.
He was highly recommended.
By who? He's just
walking us around in circles.
[squeaks]
-Spike.
-Where is he going?
Something's wrong.
It's too early.
-Early? What?
-We all need to leave.
-What are you talking about?
-Stay back.
What are you doing?
-Vanessa.
-Don't. Don't do it.
No.
Vanessa.
Where is she?
Where did she go?
I cannot believe
you just did that.
-Are you okay?
-I'm all right.
I'm all right, guys.
You--you've got
some explaining to do, okay?
Have you ever seen
anything like that before?
It's not supposed to be here.
What is not supposed to be here?
Who are you?
[Spike vocalizes]
Maybe something else
came through.
[roars]
Spike?
Hey, bud.
[squeals and hisses]
Easy.
Easy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's good. Easy, boy.
Easy.
Yes.
[panting]
Kids, we need to get Spike
out of here now.
[roars]
It's okay.
Spike.
It's okay.
[shrieks]
-Remember me?
It's okay.
Yeah.
Hey, good boy.
Good boy, come on.
Look. There's another one.
[dramatic music plays]
[sniffs]
-Spike.
Hold up.
[sniffs]
Come on.
[snarls]
[vocalizes]
[snarls and squeals]
It's okay.
[sniffs]
Go.
Hey, careful.
Watch out.
Careful.
Careful.
Hey, Alex, watch your step.
Watch your step.
[squeals]
[guttural growl]
Spike.
Spike.
Spike.
Come on.
What is wrong with this thing?
[pings]
This way.
[snarls]
[Spike squeals]
Dude, in the alley,
you were all like,
"Oh, no, no, no,
not me, not me."
The kids weren't even afraid.
Okay, you're right.
It's not even that scary.
[bang]
Okay, maybe--
Yeah, maybe
it's a little scary.
-Uh-huh.
-Guys, what are we doing here?
I don't know. It's crazy.
We have a real dinosaur.
No one's gonna believe this.
You jumped on top of it,
and then I was in there
like, bang, bang, bang,
pow, pow, pow.
And I was about to grab him
by his tail.
-Chainin' that head--
-Hey, I'm serious.
What are we doing here?
VANESSA: Hey, guys. Hurry up.
And let's go.
[Spike squeals; banging]
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.
Yeah, where is he? What are you
gonna do with him?
He's in a safe place,
I can assure you.
They're our responsibility.
So there is more than one.
Doesn't belong to you
or to this place.
He needs to go home.
Okay, maybe, but when you
really think about
the-the opportunities
that-that these dinosaurs
can bring us,
we could change the world.
He needs to be
with his own kind.
I hear what you're saying,
I do.
But we have been at this
for such a long time, okay.
We just can't pass this up.
But at what cost?
Please...
please reconsider.
Set him free.
I can't.
But I promise you...
...I won't let anything bad
happen to it.
He's not an it.
His name is Spike.
Where are you going?
Madison.
Madison,
come on, come on.
We'll get him back.
We can't fight 'em
all by ourselves.
And there's
other complications, guys.
I-- Have a seat.
I need to tell you a story.
Some years ago,
I was headed toward
my favorite pond
to do some fishing.
On the way home,
I heard a noise
that I had never heard before.
So I went to see what it was.
I couldn't believe my eyes.
At the end of the path
was something
that I could only describe
as a portal,
a doorway to another place.
I studied it carefully
before getting the courage
to step through.
What I found on the other side
was beyond
my wildest imagination.
It was as if
I had stepped back in time.
There were dinosaurs
of all shapes and sizes.
I lost track of time
as I studied them,
recording every bit of detail
I could in my journal.
It was getting dark,
and I realized
I needed to be
heading back home.
But when I went back
to the portal,
it closed just before
I could step through.
-Crap.
-What did you do?
I did the only thing I could.
I searched for an explanation.
If the portal opened once,
it could open again.
I'd searched an entire month,
never setting eyes
on another portal.
I did find meteorites
with large crystal formations.
They were spread out for miles.
I had no idea
where they had come from
or how long they'd been there,
but I learned
they were very special.
One night, one of them
started to glow,
getting its power from
the light of the full moon.
And then, right in front of me,
as if by magic,
the portal appeared.
It all made sense now.
Once a month, the portal
would open for exactly one day,
allowing dinosaurs and humans
to move between their worlds.
I decided to keep it a secret.
I had to protect the dinosaurs
from the present world
and make sure that the past
stayed safe.
In time, I realized
that I needed some help.
That's when my gran came in.
Right.
But how was
the other portal open
when there wasn't
a full moon?
I'm not sure. There were
other meteorites in there,
and I think
they had something to do
with the other portal opening.
I think we need
to destroy them all.
Yeah, but what about Spike?
Spike'll be okay.
We'll think of something.
Trust me.
Right now, I think
we need to get you guys home.
[]
We need to divide
and conquer.
Wendy, Madison,
you take this side of town.
And Ethan and I
will take this side of town.
Call if you see
or hear anything.
-What?
-It's the film crew.
S-Should I call the guys?
I have to know what
they're talking about first.
-Come on.
-Okay.
Okay...
Um, what are you doing?
Nothing.
You've been acting funny lately.
-Sorry.
-You're not scheduled
to work today, either.
Yeah.
Good morning.
How may I help you?
We would like two sugar-free
vanilla cappuccinos, please.
All right. Name?
Agatha.
Hi.
-Sorry.
-Hey.
-I'll give 'em back.
-You better.
Let's just be clear, okay?
This is just-just...
Life-changing.
This is huge, guys.
It changes everything.
What are we gonna do with it?
JEFF: Give me a minute
to think, okay?
Didn't exactly plan for this.
What is there to think about?
This changes everything.
No more
low-budget documentaries.
Skeleton crews.
No more cheap motels.
Guys, this is our chance
to hit it big time.
I just don't know, okay?
I don't know.
What don't you know?
People are gonna be lining up
to give us funding.
But didn't you see
how scared it was of us?
Look, I get that, but
we need to think big picture.
With all the funding, we could
make more documentaries.
Save more species of animals.
Come on, you guys.
This is a huge opportunity.
Hello, young lady.
Hi.
I think you just stole the hat
right off my head.
-I am so sorry.
-Oh, don't worry about it.
Keep it.
Looks a lot better on you.
Thank you.
JEFF: Okay, what's your plan?
Okay, you're gonna
rent a theater.
You're gonna get the gear.
I'll call my connections.
Oh, my God, we could get it
on pay-per-view.
All the streaming networks.
-We're gonna change history. Oh.
-Sorry.
[coffee machine runs]
Come on, guys.
Who's with me?
-We're in.
-I'm in.
Let's do this.
They're up to something.
I can't believe
you just did that.
Come on, let's go back
to the tree house.
Okay, yeah.
[no audible audio]
We found the film crew
-at the coffee shop.
-You should have seen her.
She was right next to them,
and they didn't even know.
-Ha ha ha ha.
-Then what are we doing here?
-Let's go get him.
-It's not that easy.
We still don't know
where Spike is.
They were planning something big
to show him off to the world.
I didn't hear
everything they said.
But that's great news.
It means he's still here.
All we have to do
is find out exactly
where they're keeping him
and then go free him.
While keeping the portals
and dinosaurs a secret?
Sounds easy.
We'll figure something out.
Maddy. Ethan.
Time for dinner.
Be right there.
What are we having?
-Oh.
[thud]
Maybe it's nice?
[thudding]
Aah. It's not nice,
not nice. Run.
So, what do you and Ethan
have planned for today?
Um, I don't know.
Mm. You and your brother
stay out of trouble, okay?
We will.
[woman gasps]
[]
We are interrupting programming
for a breaking news report.
A documentary film crew in town
said they have found something
of monumental importance.
A source tells us
this is the biggest thing
to happen in years.
-Ethan.
-The film crew
is hosting an event
live tonight
at the local theater,
which they are calling,
"the event of a lifetime."
Tickets are selling out fast,
and local residents
are urged to arrive early.
This event is expected
to bring in people
from all around the area.
Stay tuned for more information
on what could be
the biggest discovery
in years.
For News 8 Live,
I'm Lacey Lett.
Wow. That sounds like fun.
I'll try to get us some tickets
on my way to work.
-Okay?
-Yeah.
Okay, I'll see you both tonight.
Love you.
Love you, too.
-Meet me at the tree house.
-I'll call the guys.
[squeals]
Wouldn't it be cooler
if that thing was bigger?
[grunts and squeals]
Man, trust me,
he's plenty big.
Hey, are we close?
We need to get
the rest of our gear
set up, okay?
[Spike growls]
Is that big enough for you?
Oh, yeah.
Guys, let's go.
Secure him.
Wait, what?
-Hey.
-Whoa.
[shrieks]
Hey, where did they come from?
I didn't hire them.
-I know. I did.
-But I didn't authorize this.
I knew you didn't have the guts
to get the job done.
What are you talking about?
We've been together
since the beginning
of everything.
-Since our first film.
-No.
I've been following you.
It's finally my chance
to call the shots.
You're in too deep, Jeff.
[sinister music plays]
The full moon was last night.
We have to get him home today.
We will.
Ethan, can you please
stop pacing?
It's just making me
more nervous.
How much longer?
He should be here soon.
We need all the help we can get.
This is an awesome tree house.
You know, when I was a kid,
I had one just like it.
The kids in the neighborhood,
they'd come on by--
Dad.
Yeah, right. Okay.
So, on my way over here,
I stopped at
the county clerk's office,
and this is what I found.
-Blueprints of the auditorium?
-Well, I will say,
being the mayor
does have its benefits.
Dad.
Yeah, I'm sorry. Right.
Okay. So, right here.
This is probably
where they're keeping Spike.
And this?
This is our plan
to get him out.
Okay, Wendy. You and, uh--
what was your name again?
-Never gave it.
-Ah.
Since you ask,
it's Mortimer Higginbottom.
Pleased to meet you.
What? It's an old family name.
It's just not what I expected.
Okay. So, anyways,
uh, Wendy, you and Mortimer,
-yeah, once you get inside--
-How are we gonna get inside?
Well, Wendy, I'm hoping
that's the easy part.
Buy everyone tickets.
After you buy the tickets,
get inside and locate Spike.
But be careful.
They're sure
to have extra security.
[cheering]
To find Spike,
wait for the signal.
Ethan, Madison, your job
is to stop the live feed.
Find their main computers,
hack into the system,
and shut it down.
Then kill the lights.
Wendy, that's your cue
to get Spike
and get out of there.
And what are you
gonna do, Dad?
I'm gonna get the truck
that's gonna pick you
and Spike up at the back
of the auditorium
and get us out of there before
anyone knows we were even there.
[booing]
And then...
celebrate our success.
For Spike.
And the preservation
of their world.
For Spike.
Hi.
[scoffs] You're kidding.
[murmuring]
-What?
Uhh, I can't believe this.
Ethan, Maddy, you're here.
I got tickets for you.
It's gonna be great.
Come on, let's go.
Be right there.
Okay, hurry up.
Well, what about us?
Okay. Uh, minor setback.
No big deal.
We stick to the original plan.
For now, you guys
figure something out.
-I'll be right back.
-Um, uh...
Ladies and gentlemen,
remember, no cell phones,
no pushing and shoving.
Single-file line, please.
Thank you, thank you.
No cell phones.
Gimme your phone, please.
Thank you, thank you.
No pushing, no shoving.
Thank you.
Single-file line, thank you.
Let's go. No cell pho--
No cell phones allowed inside.
Well, uh,
I don't have a phone.
Never really needed one.
Really?
Don't kids spend all day
on social media?
Why? I don't know why.
What about you, kid?
I have it here somewhere.
Um...
Come on, kid,
you're holding up my line.
[whispers, indistinct]
-Hey, hey, look.
If you can't find your phone,
you gotta step out of line.
Uh, yes, sir.
Let me just check.
Oh, here it is.
Um, here you go.
Wait. Now let me
power it off real quick.
Give me the--
give me the phone.
What's wrong with you?
Kid, give me--
Give me-- Hey. Give me the--
Give me the--
Give me the phone.
What's wrong with you?
I was trying to power it off.
-Go.
-Yes, sir.
Yeah, Ethan, go.
You heard him.
Go. Go, go, go.
Single-file lines.
No phones.
Thank you. Tickets, please.
Thank you. Tickets.
Thank you. Tickets.
Thank you. Thank you.
Tickets. Excuse me.
Um, where's your ticket?
I'm a celebrity.
[background chatter
and laughter]
Really?
I don't recognize you.
This is the mayor's daughter.
And who are you?
I'm her... b-bodyguard.
And how dare you
look her in the eye.
-Ah.
-I'm so sorry.
Uh, please, enjoy the show.
[grunts]
-Gaah.
[honks horn]
Oh. Ah. I'm the mayor.
I need your truck.
It's an emergency. Okay.
Thank you, citizen.
All right, oh.
Um, I have no idea
how to drive a truck.
Not a good idea.
Not working.
Not working.
Not gonna work.
-Not gonna work.
[engine idles]
WOMAN: Ladies and gentlemen,
please find your seats
and get ready for
the experience of a lifetime.
[triumphant music plays]
Please remember
that photography
or videography of any kind
is strictly prohibited.
Hurry up.
-I don't know the password.
-Oh, I thought
you're Mr. High-Tech
Genius Guy.
Oh, right. If your tracker
was working,
-we wouldn't be in this mess.
-Yes, I know.
You've reminded me many times.
Please keep your children
supervised
and be mindful
of the emergency exits
at the rear of the auditorium.
[]
-Spike must be in there.
-We don't have much time.
Now sit back, relax,
and please welcome
to the stage
world-renowned
television producer
and animal activist
Vanessa Hopkins.
[cheering]
So much
for the high-tech approach.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold the car. Hold the car.
Sir, I'm the mayor of this town,
and I need
to commandeer your car.
-It's an emergency.
-I just adjusted my seat.
[grouses]
I can drive you.
-Fair enough.
-Okay.
Buckle up.
Safety first. Ha ha ha.
Ooh.
No. Oh, no. Oh, no. No.
Sir. Sir.
Are you okay?
Okay. Make sure
he's all right.
I'm trusting you.
[whimpers]
Are you okay?
You should really
be more careful.
Thank you all for attending
this momentous event.
[cheering and murmuring]
In a few moments,
we will go live.
[thunk]
Looks like our special guest
is getting a little bit anxious.
I promise you,
this will be a show
you will never forget.
[thud; audience gasps]
Please remain calm.
You are all perfectly safe.
[Spike growls]
Are you ready?
Let's start the show.
Wait. What's wrong?
Well, fix it. Heh.
[snarls]
[all gasp]
Hey. Hey, it's okay.
Calm down.
Please calm down.
[all scream]
[screams and shrieks]
[growls]
[various screams]
[roars; screaming]
MADDY: Go, go, go, go, go.
Go. You got this.
Oh, okay.
[screaming
and roaring continues]
[roars]
Sometimes I feel so small
Don't think I can do it
I could fail,
and I could fall
I've gotta push through it
Push through it
So I open my eyes
And face
what's in front of me
Leave the old me behind
And walk through the door
The lights are so bright
And the world is so big
But I'm fearless
I'm fearless
So I've got to break out
Break out of my shell
'Cause I'm fearless
I'm fearless
[cheering]
[]
You were so wonderful.
-Excuse me. Give me the mic.
-I have something to say.
[booing]
Let her speak.
[cheering]
[Wendy gasps]
Ladies and gentlemen...
...as you can see,
we have a dinosaur
living among us.
His name is Spike.
[grunts]
Spike is a wild animal.
He was never meant
to be locked up.
He deserves to be free to roam
and explore
and live as nature intended.
And that's why I'm here today
to ask you all
to help me set him free.
Spike and dinosaurs like him
have been part of our community
for years,
though most of you
have never known this.
Yes, there are other dinosaurs
living around our town.
And though it may be tempting
to show them off to the world,
we must keep it a secret.
We cannot risk the safety
of these creatures
by exposing them.
I know some of you
may disagree with me,
but I urge you
to consider the consequences.
These animals
are not attractions.
They're living beings
with emotions and intelligence.
And if we don't protect them,
they could become targets
for exploitation,
experimentation or worse.
So please,
help me keep the secret
to protect the species.
To ensure they get to live
in peace and safety.
[cheering]
Thank you.
We can still do this.
We can still go live.
No.
No.
Kill the feed.
Already did.
But this is our big chance.
You're right, Vanessa.
This is my chance
to make things right.
You're fired.
[cheering and whistling]
Unh.
Okay. Um, listen.
You guys need to take Spike
and get him out of here.
Get him somewhere where--
where no one can ever find him.
You.
You have
a beautiful singing voice.
I would love
to showcase your talents
for a new series.
If you and your mom
will allow it.
Hi. I'm Ethan,
Madison's agent.
I feel like we can
work something out
that will help benefit
all parties involved.
Sounds good.
I guess we can work together,
and we'll figure something out.
[tracker ping]
Oh, look, the tracker's
finally working.
Well, that doesn't help us now.
We need to get Spike back home.
Oh.
Okay, but please be safe.
We will.
[]
Ma'am, I'm gonna need your car.
I'm the mayor.
[shrieking]
Stop.
I'm the mayor.
[pinging]
-It's working?
Yes.
-What is that?
-None of your business.
We have to go.
[pinging]
Nice.
Guys.
[beeping]
[grunts]
Of course. Why didn't
I think about this before?
[chuckles]
Okay... let's ride.
[roars]
Whoo-hoo.
[guttural growl]
Bye, Spike.
Be safe.
I'll always miss you.
See you later, buddy.
[guttural growl]
Wanna check it out?
I feel like
I could do anything now.
Let's go.
Yeah, let's go.
[roars]
[chirping]
[indistinct chatter]
[vocalizes]
[roars]
[groans]
What?
Aren't you gonna take a photo?
I already did.
It's in my mind.
[dinosaurs vocalize]
Not much further now.
[guttural growl]
This is the crystal
responsible for the portal
that we came through.
[hissing]
And this is goodbye for me.
See you next time.
Hopefully not for a while.
I don't know if I can deal
with another dino emergency.
[chuckles]
There won't be a next time.
There's something wrong
with the portal.
The only way
to protect the dinosaurs
is to destroy
all the crystals,
keeping the doorways
closed forever.
I'm gonna need to stay.
You can't.
You'll be trapped here.
Don't worry about me.
I'll be fine.
But I am gonna miss you guys.
[guttural growl]
All right, guys,
we gotta let him go.
Keep up the good work, Mason.
-You got it, Mortimer.
-Heh heh.
Thank you.
Let's go, kids.
Be well, friend.
[muted roar]
Okay.
Okay, Spike.
Now.
[roars]
[roars]
[roars]
[roars]
[roars]
[roars]
[roars]
Come on, guys.
We gotta go.
Come on, Maddy.
[]
The so-called
event of a lifetime
turned out to be
one big disappointment
for locals and those who paid
to live stream
the discovery they thought
would change history.
The claim?
A living dinosaur.
Now here's what some residents
had to say about it.
[chuckles] Dinosaurs?
Heavens, no.
Dinosaurs? Are you kidding me?
Never seen 'em.
No, haven't seen
any of those.
If I saw a dinosaur,
I would literally faint.
And once I revived myself,
I'd run.
I got dinosaurs in my gas tank.
It's fossil fuel, isn't it?
Yeah, no, no dinosaurs.
I haven't seen any.
There-- No-- Never mind.
No, there's no dinosaurs.
We've not had any dinosaurs.
Did I see a dinosaur
with my own eyes?
Did I touch its tail?
Did I feel it breathe on me?
No.
If I saw a dinosaur,
I'd [bleep] my pants.
A case of a misidentified
creature in the woods
or a hoax to bring attention
to this sleepy town?
Only time will tell
as the producer
responsible
for the media stunt
is now facing possible charges
of fraud and deception.
For News 8 Live, I'm...
[sinister music plays]
You are gonna make me
very rich.
[hatchling squeals]
[majestic music plays]
First of all,
I'd like to dispel this myth
about me
trying to rob the town bank.
The truth of the matter
is your new mayor,
Mason, and his kid
and her friend
and their friend dinosaurs
-framed me.
-Heck, no,
I haven't seen any dinosaurs
around these parts.
My wife sounds like one
when she sleeps,
but that's about it.
That's why you sleep
in separate bedrooms.
True. Yeah, yeah,
you're right.
'Cause, uh, I know.
We're not gonna show this
to her, are we?
No, I hope not.
Dinosaurs in this town?
Huh. Heavens, no.
Chupacabras, yes.
Sasquatches, yes.
I saw a squirrel give me
a mean look one time,
but, no, no dinosaurs.
I touched a tail.
It went right by me.
It breathed on me.
It has a heavy, moist breath.
Oh, I can absolutely confirm.
I was actually responsible
for several of them.
Now, what the fascinating thing
is, is if you take the--
the-the DNA from, say,
an alligator,
combine that with the RNA,
ribonucleic acid,
with, say, that of a pelican
for the beak structure,
then what you actually get--
it's the nearest--
That's enough.
First of all, I'd like--
...to a pterodactyl. In their
early stages, of course,
it had become
a Jurassic chicken.
But what happens
is the humanitarian element.
One egg from a Jurassic chicken
can feed a family of four
for approximately six days.
Imagine that.
Are you done?
[dramatic music plays]
[]
[]
[jungle sounds]
[chitters]
[guttural growl]
[crack]
[dramatic music plays]
[roars]
[T-Rex approaches]
[muted roar]
And cut.
Great job, everyone.
Let's take five while we set up
for the next scene.
What is our next scene?
Volcano
with the burning forest.
Thank you very much.
Hey, Jeff, wait up.
Take a look at this.
"Ex-mayor arrested
for robbing local bank states,
'There were dinosaurs.'"
Some sort of joke, right?
I thought so, too, at first.
Then I did some research,
and it turns out
it's not the first
dinosaur sighting in the area.
Well, it's definitely
something different.
It could give us another angle
for the documentary.
I could see it now.
Crazy townspeople
still believe dinosaurs
roam the Earth.
Let's go check it out.
Set it up.
I already did.
We leave tomorrow.
[]
[woman singing softly]
And here's my sister.
Wave to the viewers, Madison.
Stop it. I don't want
to be in your stupid post.
Come on, Maddy. You have
a great singing voice.
Mom. Ethan's videoing me
without my permission again.
How am I ever supposed
to get famous on my own?
[Latin accent]
Ethan, what have I said
about videoing people
without their permission?
-Can I have your permission?
-No.
Stop it. I really need
to leave for work,
and I don't have time for you
to be arguing with each other.
-Understood?
-Yes, ma'am.
Good. I'll see you both
when I get back home.
-Mwah. Love you.
-Love you, too.
How about a video
with you singing,
but I use graphics
instead of showing your face?
-Stop.
-Come on, Maddy.
I'm serious, Maddy.
You should share your talent
with the world.
Leave me alone.
You could help me
increase my views.
Maddy, I can make you famous.
All you have to do
is sing for my friends.
I know it will go viral.
I don't need
to go viral.
You just want to use me
so you could be famous.
You're just jealous.
It's not my fault
you're too shy
to make new friends.
You're right.
I am jealous.
We moved here
three months ago...
...and I feel just as alone
as I did in our old town.
I'm sorry, Maddy. I just think
you have a talent,
and you should share it
with the world.
Um, the-the new phone
comes out today.
Yeah?
Want to check it out?
Okay.
Hey, guys.
I'm here with my sister,
and we're gonna check out
the brand-new phone
that drops today.
[car horn blares]
[tires screech]
[man mutters]
I'm so sorry.
I-I didn't see you.
I didn't see me, either.
Oh, no. Aah.
I'm gonna call an ambulance.
Uh...
...there.
Yes. Hi.
This is Mr. Brown.
I need an ambulance, please.
Uh, fast.
No, I'm fine.
It's for somebody else.
It's for the guy
that got hit by my car.
Yes. This is my--
Yes, I was driving,
and I hit a guy.
I don't know what street
this is. It's the main one.
Just-- If you come down here,
it's the--
Yes, it's actually
Main Street. Main Street.
Wendy Jenkins.
He's talking. He's talking.
So he must be okay.
So, uh, he's gonna pull through.
So, just, uh, hurry, please.
And, uh... do I stay here?
Can I go home?
I'll stay. I'll stay.
Uh, can you connect me
with a lawyer?
I'm not opening it.
You open it.
Uch, fine.
An egg.
Where is...
[squeaks; vocalizes]
Is that a dinosaur?
No.
[wheezes]
It can't be.
[shrieks]
Don't record this.
[vocalizes]
[thud]
Sometimes I feel so small
Don't think I can do it
Wow, you're actually
really cute.
[wheezes and vocalizes]
I'm gonna name you Spike.
Here you go, Spike.
Here you go.
[beeping]
-What was that?
-It was a tracker.
Where'd you get a tracker?
Oh, I made it myself.
It's a prototype.
[squeaks]
[tracker ping]
And it clearly works.
[pings]
We got to...
We got to give back
whatever this thing is to...
What's her name?
I have it on video.
Wendy Jenkins.
There you go.
-Hello.
-Hi.
What would you like?
Double espresso, please.
Give me a latte.
And can I get your names?
-Jeff.
-Vanessa.
All right. That'll be 12.25.
Sweet. Keep the change.
Okay, so first we have
a meeting with Dr. Jost.
He's the first person
in this area
to claim he's seen
a living dinosaur.
Then we have a meeting
with the ex-mayor--
Samuel Patterson.
This will be interesting.
So, Dr. Jost,
are you currently
seeing any dinosaurs?
Or are there any dinosaurs
in the room with us right now?
Dinosaurs?
What about them?
We're in town
shooting a documentary
investigating
the claims of people
seeing living dinosaurs
roaming the area.
I just said that sentence
out loud.
Now don't look at me like that.
Wait.
Do you know anything about it?
No.
No.
-Ah.
-Thank you.
Oh, switch.
This will wake me up.
Where am I?
Sir, you need to lie down.
You've been in an accident.
I'll be right back
with your pain meds.
[fanciful music plays]
[squeaking]
Has anyone seen a guy
in rubber ducky shorts?
WOMAN ON P.A.: Dr. Holzer,
report to operating room "B."
[banging and clanging]
Dr. Holzer,
report to operating room "B."
Dr. Holzer, there you are.
Holz?
[German accent] Holzer, ja?
Dr. Schwartz
is waiting on your opinion.
Ja, ja.
Ah, this way, doctor.
In here.
Dr. Holzer, feel here.
What do you think?
Do you agree
it should come out?
[grunts]
[slide whistle; thud]
Doctor?
Doctor? Dr. Holzer,
are you all right?
[normal voice] I'm-I'm fine.
Thank you for asking.
The surgery was a success,
thanks to you.
I'm glad to hear it.
I think--
I think my work here is done.
Uh, where are you going?
Excuse me. Excuse me. Sorry.
Uh-- Hey, out of the way.
[mutters]
[indistinct chatter]
Aah...
Doctor, thank you so much
for allowing us
to meet here today.
-My pleasure.
-Could you both please
state your name into the camera,
and we will begin
the interview.
Dr. Jost, MD, PhD,
professor of anthropological
psychiatry, Vienna.
Samuel Patterson,
mayor of this fine town.
Isn't Mason Jenkins
the current mayor?
[sassy] No.
[mouths]
-I am.
-Classic sign of denial.
-Ah, ah, ah.
Now, Mr. Jost,
what have I said?
You no longer
have a medical license.
You're the patient.
I'm the doctor.
It's Dr. Jost,
and you're a hack.
There is no equal
compares to my genius mind.
-Classic sign of denial.
-I was in the process
of bringing back dinosaurs,
you see.
But I just couldn't quite
get there.
How were you planning
on bringing back dinosaurs?
Ah, excellent question.
Well, my original plans
involved the de-evolutionizing
of alligators.
I had an alligator.
Her name was Pickles.
-Pickles.
-Oh, Pickles.
Daddy misses you so much.
And then the creature I had
was the key to my experiments.
I was so close,
I had it in my grasp.
And what exactly did you have?
A real living,
breathing dinosaur.
I saw three.
Three?
How many times
do I have to tell you?
They stopped me
from getting away
with the bank's money.
They ate my plane.
Well, heh,
you can't trust dinosaurs.
Finally.
Something we agree on.
[chuckles]
Okay, thank you both very much.
-I think we're good here.
-Well, you see, if--
-Okay, gentlemen.
-If you were to combine
the DNA of a turtle--
[overlapping chatter]
I'm the mayor.
I'm telling you
there are dinosaurs.
This was your idea.
[chitters and squeaks]
I found Wendy.
She works at a coffee shop.
Okay.
We have to take Spike to her.
ETHAN: Hmm. Wait.
One video. Please?
How many times have I told you?
We cannot share this online.
Think about it.
We can become rich and famous.
The video will get,
like, a million hits.
-No, we can't.
[vocalizes]
The world
will want to see him.
Don't post anything
until we know more.
Do you realize
what we have here?
Yes, but he's not
meant for us.
It's not going
to hurt anyone, Maddy.
You've seen the movies
and what they'll do to him.
They'll put him in a cage.
Locked away, and people
have to pay to see him.
Why can't that be us?
Because it's not
the right thing to do.
[chitters]
-How do you know
that the man on the street
and Wendy
isn't planning
on doing just that?
[vocalizes]
That's not
what they're planning to do.
They want us to protect it.
I can feel it.
We need to protect Spike.
One. One quick video, I swear.
Please?
He's just a baby.
Where'd he go?
S-S-Spike?
Spike?
Spike.
Oh, no.
He's heading towards town.
No.
[door opens]
This is Jeff. He's with
the documentary film crew
I told you about.
-Hey, Jeff.
-Mr. Mayor.
Welcome to our town.
Thank you for seeing me.
-You got a lovely little town.
-Thank you.
We-We like to think so.
My crew and I are gonna
hang around in it for a few days
while we are shooting
our documentary about dinosaurs.
Had the privilege
of interviewing Dr. Jost
and your old boss--
Samuel Patterson.
[chuckles]
Well, you don't believe
their crazy stories, do you?
Tell me about it. Uh, if I could
only stay long enough
to show you the footage,
it's ridiculous.
But we have made it this far,
and we want to salvage
what we can from the trip,
so I wanted to inquire
about getting a permit
to shoot around town
and possibly interview
some of the townspeople
to get their thoughts
and opinions.
Of course.
Just ask my assistant.
She'll get you
all the necessary paperwork.
-Sounds good.
-Well, enjoy our town,
even if I think
you're wasting your time.
-You and me both.
[chuckles]
Sorry.
Sweetheart?
He came into the coffee shop
talking about dinosaurs.
I tried to call you, but
you didn't pick up your phone.
-I got here as fast as I could.
-I'm so sorry.
I've just been on phone calls
and in meetings all day.
Why did you give him
the permit?
I had to. I don't want them
getting suspicious, right?
Think we're trying
to hide something.
Yeah, you're right.
Look, they're not
gonna find anything.
Full moon
is still a few days away.
Portal's closed,
remains hidden.
All the dinosaurs
are safe and sound.
All right?
Come on.
I'll walk you out.
[panting]
Wendy. Wendy Jenkins.
Whoa. Sir, stand back.
You are Wendy Jenkins?
-Yes.
-We have to get the egg back.
It's almost a full moon.
Okay. Sir, just calm down
for a second here.
Okay. Y-You good?
All right.
What are you talking about?
Mason?
I know about the portal
and the full moon.
[whispers] And the dinosaurs.
Who are you?
I was good friends
with your gran.
I'm the one who told her
about the portal
and how it opens and that we
have to protect the dinosaurs,
and I knew it was too big a job
for just one person.
[scoffs] Trust me, I know,
but what?
Your gran told me
all about your lovely family.
I-I tried to get ahold of her
for this one,
but I couldn't reach her.
Is she okay?
Yeah. Gran's fine.
She's with my wife
and our son Curtis.
They took him
to an academic competition.
They'll-They'll be gone
for a few days.
Oh. I was hoping
we would have their help.
Right. Um...
Are you a doctor?
Am I a doctor?
Doh. No.
I was at the hospital,
and they took my clothes,
'cause I was--
This was all that I could--
Long story.
We don't have time. Listen.
A dinosaur
came through the portal
on the last full moon
and laid an egg on this side.
We have to get the egg
back to the other side
before it hatches.
Mr. Mayor, your next appointment
is waiting.
Yes, of course.
Um, just give me one minute.
Thank you. Okay.
We'll get this figured out.
Uh, but right now,
I've got to get back to work.
Wendy, t-take him
to the coffee shop, okay,
and we'll-we'll figure this out
when we get home.
Um, and here.
Get him some clothes to wear
so he doesn't stand out so much.
I beg your pardon.
I am not a person
who'll need your charity.
I'm a man of wealth
and distinction
who has left his wallet
in his other pants.
I'm terribly sorry.
I'll pay you back. I promise.
No worries. No worries.
Make sure he blends in.
Okay. Um...
Let's go.
It must be the buildings.
I keep losing signal.
Oh, what happened
to "I'm a genius"?
Oh.
[]
I haven't seen
an outfit like that
since high school.
Okay, you said
you were looking for an egg?
I'd been searching for that egg
since the portal was opened
after the last full moon.
Searched for weeks.
I finally found it.
Where is it?
I lost it. Sort of.
I got hit by a car.
I'm okay. I'm fine.
But before I passed out,
I gave the egg to some kids
to bring to you.
I haven't seen them.
What did they look like?
Well, there was a boy,
and there was a girl,
and they looked like...
those two.
Hi. Excuse me,
-are you Wendy Jenkins?
-Yes.
What happened to the bag
I gave you?
-It's at our house.
-Is the egg okay?
It hatched.
-And he got away.
-What?
But he ate the tracker
I gave him.
-Well, that's good.
-But we lost signal,
-and now we can't find him.
-That's not good.
That's so not good.
It's okay. We'll find him.
Have you ever had to deal
with a dinosaur
born on this side of the portal?
-I have.
-Portal?
It's the secret door
to the land of dinosaurs.
So, he's cranky,
because he was born on our side?
Wouldn't you be cranky
if you woke up
and there were all these people
you never saw before?
Wait. Maddy's singing
seemed to calm him down.
-Really? Cool.
-It's okay, guys.
I've dealt with this before,
and we're gonna find him.
Finding him?
That's the easy part.
He's gonna stick out
like a sore thumb.
Here's the not-so-easy part.
A egg that hatches
on this side of the portal
affects the dinosaur.
And they grow
really, really fast.
How-How fast?
Well, if he was hatched
this morning,
he would have been
about this big.
Now he'd be like, oh...
How big?
Divide by-- Carry the four.
Then divide by the hypotenuse
and square root...
That big.
-Spike.
-Oh.
We need to go this way.
No, my tracker
says he's going this way.
I saw him go this way.
Wait. Maybe you're right.
[beep]
-I lost signal.
-Of course you lost signal.
-It's a prototype. Please.
-Guys, guys, guys.
his isn't getting us anywhere.
We just need to regroup
and make a plan.
We have a tree house.
That works.
Come on.
-V25, take 15.
[clap]
And action.
[growls]
Uh... Shane?
What?
What? What?
You got a note for me, Jeff?
[screams; shrieks]
After it. Come on, guys.
[shrieks]
I can't believe it.
The stories are true.
Change of plans.
We gotta capture that dinosaur.
No, no, no.
[indistinct chatter]
[whimpering]
[rustling]
[Spike huffs]
[squeals; screaming]
[drums beating]
We need a professional.
You got another one.
[sighs]
This is Mayor Mason.
Miss Richards.
Miss Richards, please
just calm down for a minute
and tell me what happened.
Are you sure it wasn't
Mr. Jackson's dog Snapper?
You know he's--
he's pretty funny-looking.
Okay. Well, look,
I wouldn't be surprised
if Mr. Jackson gave him
one of those, you know,
creative haircuts that he does.
Yes. You have my word.
There is nothing to worry about.
You have a good day, too,
Mrs. Richards. Thank you.
[sighs]
-That's the tenth call.
I know. This film crew's
got the town talking.
It's dinomania.
Certainly is.
We have to keep looking.
Well, we could,
this stupid tracker
would work.
It's not your fault, Ethan.
You did your best.
We all did.
Listen,
it's gonna be dark soon,
and there are a million places
to hide in the forest.
I'm sure Spike
is gonna be safe for one night.
And-And look.
Here's town.
Here's the forest
and the portal.
Spike's instincts
are gonna have him
head to the portal and home.
I think we can count on him
heading this way and down--
Guys. A film crew is looking
for a professional tracker
that's an expert on lizards.
Hold on. Documentary crew
talking about dinosaurs
came into
the coffee shop today.
Guys, if they hire
a professional,
they're gonna find him
before we do.
Ooh.
Maybe we make sure
they hire
the right professional.
Here's what we're gonna do.
So when's this guy
supposed to be here?
In about 30 minutes.
You didn't, uh...
tell him about the dinosaur,
did you?
No. I told him the truth,
sort of.
Uh, we are a documentary crew,
and we are searching
for large lizards.
[]
[Australian accent]
Somebody waiting for a tracker?
Great. You're early.
Yep.
I am Earl Lee.
Pleased to make
your acquaintance.
Um, as mentioned on the phone,
we'd like to keep this
very discreet.
Of course.
Then I recommend
that we leave
as soon as possible.
Wait. You wanted us
to pay you first?
I did.
I did. I did.
I do.
Thank you.
Uh, w-- Aren't-Aren't you
gonna count it?
You never count your money
when you're
sitting at the table.
Come on.
Trail's getting cold.
Okay, come on, guys.
[screendoor creaks]
[door opens and closes]
Hello.
I'm here to meet a film crew
about tracking some lizards.
Oh, I am so sorry.
They just left
and told me to tell you
that they don't need you.
[grunts]
Yeah, tough break.
But please,
have anything you want on me.
Hey, I've gotta go.
Can you cover for me?
-Yeah, for sure.
-Thank you so much.
What can I get you?
Could I get a hot cocoa
with some sprinkles, please?
-Yeah, for sure.
-Maybe some of them
itty-bitty marshmallows,
if you got 'em.
[dramatic music plays]
Follow me.
-Hey.
-Hey.
-Hey.
-You guys up for this?
It's gonna take a while
to get to the portal.
BOTH: Yeah.
Battery's full.
-Tracker still isn't working.
-That's okay.
We have a pretty good idea
of where he's going.
Yep.
[squeals]
Dude, you need to shower.
I'd lay off the garlic
if I was you.
Lizard ho.
Wait.
Hey, you okay?
Yeah. Just a... little nervous.
We'll find him.
It's not just that.
I feel kind of weird
for saying this,
but sometimes
I get jealous of...
...him.
Anything he wants to do,
he just does it.
Nothing scares him.
I'd like to be like that.
Hey, you don't
have to go through this alone.
You've got us.
We've gotten through
everything so far.
We'll get through this, too.
And sometimes you don't know
how brave you are
until you have to be.
You might surprise yourself.
-Thanks.
[tracker ping]
Signal's back.
Come on, man. Getting sick
of all these trees and...
bugs. Where's the dinos--
Lizards. Big lizards.
Must be huge.
Ouch.
Gesundheit.
What are you doing?
I'm listening.
To what?
They told me not to tell you.
I thought you were an expert.
I'm an expert.
Don't I... look like an expert?
Hey.
Here we go again.
We're very close.
After him.
Hey.
[dramatic music plays]
[grunts]
What are you doing?
You said we were
hot on its trail.
We are, but it's my lunchtime.
If I don't eat,
I get lightheaded and confused.
I don't think you could
be any more confused.
[chuckles]
[stammers] Good one.
All right, guys,
let's take five.
I might need ten.
Mm.
Well, this is where
the portal opens up.
Hmm. I don't get it.
The tracker says Spike
is supposed to be right here.
[chitters]
-Ethan.
-What?
[squeals]
Where did you find this guy?
Online.
He was highly recommended.
By who? He's just
walking us around in circles.
[squeaks]
-Spike.
-Where is he going?
Something's wrong.
It's too early.
-Early? What?
-We all need to leave.
-What are you talking about?
-Stay back.
What are you doing?
-Vanessa.
-Don't. Don't do it.
No.
Vanessa.
Where is she?
Where did she go?
I cannot believe
you just did that.
-Are you okay?
-I'm all right.
I'm all right, guys.
You--you've got
some explaining to do, okay?
Have you ever seen
anything like that before?
It's not supposed to be here.
What is not supposed to be here?
Who are you?
[Spike vocalizes]
Maybe something else
came through.
[roars]
Spike?
Hey, bud.
[squeals and hisses]
Easy.
Easy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's good. Easy, boy.
Easy.
Yes.
[panting]
Kids, we need to get Spike
out of here now.
[roars]
It's okay.
Spike.
It's okay.
[shrieks]
-Remember me?
It's okay.
Yeah.
Hey, good boy.
Good boy, come on.
Look. There's another one.
[dramatic music plays]
[sniffs]
-Spike.
Hold up.
[sniffs]
Come on.
[snarls]
[vocalizes]
[snarls and squeals]
It's okay.
[sniffs]
Go.
Hey, careful.
Watch out.
Careful.
Careful.
Hey, Alex, watch your step.
Watch your step.
[squeals]
[guttural growl]
Spike.
Spike.
Spike.
Come on.
What is wrong with this thing?
[pings]
This way.
[snarls]
[Spike squeals]
Dude, in the alley,
you were all like,
"Oh, no, no, no,
not me, not me."
The kids weren't even afraid.
Okay, you're right.
It's not even that scary.
[bang]
Okay, maybe--
Yeah, maybe
it's a little scary.
-Uh-huh.
-Guys, what are we doing here?
I don't know. It's crazy.
We have a real dinosaur.
No one's gonna believe this.
You jumped on top of it,
and then I was in there
like, bang, bang, bang,
pow, pow, pow.
And I was about to grab him
by his tail.
-Chainin' that head--
-Hey, I'm serious.
What are we doing here?
VANESSA: Hey, guys. Hurry up.
And let's go.
[Spike squeals; banging]
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.
Yeah, where is he? What are you
gonna do with him?
He's in a safe place,
I can assure you.
They're our responsibility.
So there is more than one.
Doesn't belong to you
or to this place.
He needs to go home.
Okay, maybe, but when you
really think about
the-the opportunities
that-that these dinosaurs
can bring us,
we could change the world.
He needs to be
with his own kind.
I hear what you're saying,
I do.
But we have been at this
for such a long time, okay.
We just can't pass this up.
But at what cost?
Please...
please reconsider.
Set him free.
I can't.
But I promise you...
...I won't let anything bad
happen to it.
He's not an it.
His name is Spike.
Where are you going?
Madison.
Madison,
come on, come on.
We'll get him back.
We can't fight 'em
all by ourselves.
And there's
other complications, guys.
I-- Have a seat.
I need to tell you a story.
Some years ago,
I was headed toward
my favorite pond
to do some fishing.
On the way home,
I heard a noise
that I had never heard before.
So I went to see what it was.
I couldn't believe my eyes.
At the end of the path
was something
that I could only describe
as a portal,
a doorway to another place.
I studied it carefully
before getting the courage
to step through.
What I found on the other side
was beyond
my wildest imagination.
It was as if
I had stepped back in time.
There were dinosaurs
of all shapes and sizes.
I lost track of time
as I studied them,
recording every bit of detail
I could in my journal.
It was getting dark,
and I realized
I needed to be
heading back home.
But when I went back
to the portal,
it closed just before
I could step through.
-Crap.
-What did you do?
I did the only thing I could.
I searched for an explanation.
If the portal opened once,
it could open again.
I'd searched an entire month,
never setting eyes
on another portal.
I did find meteorites
with large crystal formations.
They were spread out for miles.
I had no idea
where they had come from
or how long they'd been there,
but I learned
they were very special.
One night, one of them
started to glow,
getting its power from
the light of the full moon.
And then, right in front of me,
as if by magic,
the portal appeared.
It all made sense now.
Once a month, the portal
would open for exactly one day,
allowing dinosaurs and humans
to move between their worlds.
I decided to keep it a secret.
I had to protect the dinosaurs
from the present world
and make sure that the past
stayed safe.
In time, I realized
that I needed some help.
That's when my gran came in.
Right.
But how was
the other portal open
when there wasn't
a full moon?
I'm not sure. There were
other meteorites in there,
and I think
they had something to do
with the other portal opening.
I think we need
to destroy them all.
Yeah, but what about Spike?
Spike'll be okay.
We'll think of something.
Trust me.
Right now, I think
we need to get you guys home.
[]
We need to divide
and conquer.
Wendy, Madison,
you take this side of town.
And Ethan and I
will take this side of town.
Call if you see
or hear anything.
-What?
-It's the film crew.
S-Should I call the guys?
I have to know what
they're talking about first.
-Come on.
-Okay.
Okay...
Um, what are you doing?
Nothing.
You've been acting funny lately.
-Sorry.
-You're not scheduled
to work today, either.
Yeah.
Good morning.
How may I help you?
We would like two sugar-free
vanilla cappuccinos, please.
All right. Name?
Agatha.
Hi.
-Sorry.
-Hey.
-I'll give 'em back.
-You better.
Let's just be clear, okay?
This is just-just...
Life-changing.
This is huge, guys.
It changes everything.
What are we gonna do with it?
JEFF: Give me a minute
to think, okay?
Didn't exactly plan for this.
What is there to think about?
This changes everything.
No more
low-budget documentaries.
Skeleton crews.
No more cheap motels.
Guys, this is our chance
to hit it big time.
I just don't know, okay?
I don't know.
What don't you know?
People are gonna be lining up
to give us funding.
But didn't you see
how scared it was of us?
Look, I get that, but
we need to think big picture.
With all the funding, we could
make more documentaries.
Save more species of animals.
Come on, you guys.
This is a huge opportunity.
Hello, young lady.
Hi.
I think you just stole the hat
right off my head.
-I am so sorry.
-Oh, don't worry about it.
Keep it.
Looks a lot better on you.
Thank you.
JEFF: Okay, what's your plan?
Okay, you're gonna
rent a theater.
You're gonna get the gear.
I'll call my connections.
Oh, my God, we could get it
on pay-per-view.
All the streaming networks.
-We're gonna change history. Oh.
-Sorry.
[coffee machine runs]
Come on, guys.
Who's with me?
-We're in.
-I'm in.
Let's do this.
They're up to something.
I can't believe
you just did that.
Come on, let's go back
to the tree house.
Okay, yeah.
[no audible audio]
We found the film crew
-at the coffee shop.
-You should have seen her.
She was right next to them,
and they didn't even know.
-Ha ha ha ha.
-Then what are we doing here?
-Let's go get him.
-It's not that easy.
We still don't know
where Spike is.
They were planning something big
to show him off to the world.
I didn't hear
everything they said.
But that's great news.
It means he's still here.
All we have to do
is find out exactly
where they're keeping him
and then go free him.
While keeping the portals
and dinosaurs a secret?
Sounds easy.
We'll figure something out.
Maddy. Ethan.
Time for dinner.
Be right there.
What are we having?
-Oh.
[thud]
Maybe it's nice?
[thudding]
Aah. It's not nice,
not nice. Run.
So, what do you and Ethan
have planned for today?
Um, I don't know.
Mm. You and your brother
stay out of trouble, okay?
We will.
[woman gasps]
[]
We are interrupting programming
for a breaking news report.
A documentary film crew in town
said they have found something
of monumental importance.
A source tells us
this is the biggest thing
to happen in years.
-Ethan.
-The film crew
is hosting an event
live tonight
at the local theater,
which they are calling,
"the event of a lifetime."
Tickets are selling out fast,
and local residents
are urged to arrive early.
This event is expected
to bring in people
from all around the area.
Stay tuned for more information
on what could be
the biggest discovery
in years.
For News 8 Live,
I'm Lacey Lett.
Wow. That sounds like fun.
I'll try to get us some tickets
on my way to work.
-Okay?
-Yeah.
Okay, I'll see you both tonight.
Love you.
Love you, too.
-Meet me at the tree house.
-I'll call the guys.
[squeals]
Wouldn't it be cooler
if that thing was bigger?
[grunts and squeals]
Man, trust me,
he's plenty big.
Hey, are we close?
We need to get
the rest of our gear
set up, okay?
[Spike growls]
Is that big enough for you?
Oh, yeah.
Guys, let's go.
Secure him.
Wait, what?
-Hey.
-Whoa.
[shrieks]
Hey, where did they come from?
I didn't hire them.
-I know. I did.
-But I didn't authorize this.
I knew you didn't have the guts
to get the job done.
What are you talking about?
We've been together
since the beginning
of everything.
-Since our first film.
-No.
I've been following you.
It's finally my chance
to call the shots.
You're in too deep, Jeff.
[sinister music plays]
The full moon was last night.
We have to get him home today.
We will.
Ethan, can you please
stop pacing?
It's just making me
more nervous.
How much longer?
He should be here soon.
We need all the help we can get.
This is an awesome tree house.
You know, when I was a kid,
I had one just like it.
The kids in the neighborhood,
they'd come on by--
Dad.
Yeah, right. Okay.
So, on my way over here,
I stopped at
the county clerk's office,
and this is what I found.
-Blueprints of the auditorium?
-Well, I will say,
being the mayor
does have its benefits.
Dad.
Yeah, I'm sorry. Right.
Okay. So, right here.
This is probably
where they're keeping Spike.
And this?
This is our plan
to get him out.
Okay, Wendy. You and, uh--
what was your name again?
-Never gave it.
-Ah.
Since you ask,
it's Mortimer Higginbottom.
Pleased to meet you.
What? It's an old family name.
It's just not what I expected.
Okay. So, anyways,
uh, Wendy, you and Mortimer,
-yeah, once you get inside--
-How are we gonna get inside?
Well, Wendy, I'm hoping
that's the easy part.
Buy everyone tickets.
After you buy the tickets,
get inside and locate Spike.
But be careful.
They're sure
to have extra security.
[cheering]
To find Spike,
wait for the signal.
Ethan, Madison, your job
is to stop the live feed.
Find their main computers,
hack into the system,
and shut it down.
Then kill the lights.
Wendy, that's your cue
to get Spike
and get out of there.
And what are you
gonna do, Dad?
I'm gonna get the truck
that's gonna pick you
and Spike up at the back
of the auditorium
and get us out of there before
anyone knows we were even there.
[booing]
And then...
celebrate our success.
For Spike.
And the preservation
of their world.
For Spike.
Hi.
[scoffs] You're kidding.
[murmuring]
-What?
Uhh, I can't believe this.
Ethan, Maddy, you're here.
I got tickets for you.
It's gonna be great.
Come on, let's go.
Be right there.
Okay, hurry up.
Well, what about us?
Okay. Uh, minor setback.
No big deal.
We stick to the original plan.
For now, you guys
figure something out.
-I'll be right back.
-Um, uh...
Ladies and gentlemen,
remember, no cell phones,
no pushing and shoving.
Single-file line, please.
Thank you, thank you.
No cell phones.
Gimme your phone, please.
Thank you, thank you.
No pushing, no shoving.
Thank you.
Single-file line, thank you.
Let's go. No cell pho--
No cell phones allowed inside.
Well, uh,
I don't have a phone.
Never really needed one.
Really?
Don't kids spend all day
on social media?
Why? I don't know why.
What about you, kid?
I have it here somewhere.
Um...
Come on, kid,
you're holding up my line.
[whispers, indistinct]
-Hey, hey, look.
If you can't find your phone,
you gotta step out of line.
Uh, yes, sir.
Let me just check.
Oh, here it is.
Um, here you go.
Wait. Now let me
power it off real quick.
Give me the--
give me the phone.
What's wrong with you?
Kid, give me--
Give me-- Hey. Give me the--
Give me the--
Give me the phone.
What's wrong with you?
I was trying to power it off.
-Go.
-Yes, sir.
Yeah, Ethan, go.
You heard him.
Go. Go, go, go.
Single-file lines.
No phones.
Thank you. Tickets, please.
Thank you. Tickets.
Thank you. Tickets.
Thank you. Thank you.
Tickets. Excuse me.
Um, where's your ticket?
I'm a celebrity.
[background chatter
and laughter]
Really?
I don't recognize you.
This is the mayor's daughter.
And who are you?
I'm her... b-bodyguard.
And how dare you
look her in the eye.
-Ah.
-I'm so sorry.
Uh, please, enjoy the show.
[grunts]
-Gaah.
[honks horn]
Oh. Ah. I'm the mayor.
I need your truck.
It's an emergency. Okay.
Thank you, citizen.
All right, oh.
Um, I have no idea
how to drive a truck.
Not a good idea.
Not working.
Not working.
Not gonna work.
-Not gonna work.
[engine idles]
WOMAN: Ladies and gentlemen,
please find your seats
and get ready for
the experience of a lifetime.
[triumphant music plays]
Please remember
that photography
or videography of any kind
is strictly prohibited.
Hurry up.
-I don't know the password.
-Oh, I thought
you're Mr. High-Tech
Genius Guy.
Oh, right. If your tracker
was working,
-we wouldn't be in this mess.
-Yes, I know.
You've reminded me many times.
Please keep your children
supervised
and be mindful
of the emergency exits
at the rear of the auditorium.
[]
-Spike must be in there.
-We don't have much time.
Now sit back, relax,
and please welcome
to the stage
world-renowned
television producer
and animal activist
Vanessa Hopkins.
[cheering]
So much
for the high-tech approach.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold the car. Hold the car.
Sir, I'm the mayor of this town,
and I need
to commandeer your car.
-It's an emergency.
-I just adjusted my seat.
[grouses]
I can drive you.
-Fair enough.
-Okay.
Buckle up.
Safety first. Ha ha ha.
Ooh.
No. Oh, no. Oh, no. No.
Sir. Sir.
Are you okay?
Okay. Make sure
he's all right.
I'm trusting you.
[whimpers]
Are you okay?
You should really
be more careful.
Thank you all for attending
this momentous event.
[cheering and murmuring]
In a few moments,
we will go live.
[thunk]
Looks like our special guest
is getting a little bit anxious.
I promise you,
this will be a show
you will never forget.
[thud; audience gasps]
Please remain calm.
You are all perfectly safe.
[Spike growls]
Are you ready?
Let's start the show.
Wait. What's wrong?
Well, fix it. Heh.
[snarls]
[all gasp]
Hey. Hey, it's okay.
Calm down.
Please calm down.
[all scream]
[screams and shrieks]
[growls]
[various screams]
[roars; screaming]
MADDY: Go, go, go, go, go.
Go. You got this.
Oh, okay.
[screaming
and roaring continues]
[roars]
Sometimes I feel so small
Don't think I can do it
I could fail,
and I could fall
I've gotta push through it
Push through it
So I open my eyes
And face
what's in front of me
Leave the old me behind
And walk through the door
The lights are so bright
And the world is so big
But I'm fearless
I'm fearless
So I've got to break out
Break out of my shell
'Cause I'm fearless
I'm fearless
[cheering]
[]
You were so wonderful.
-Excuse me. Give me the mic.
-I have something to say.
[booing]
Let her speak.
[cheering]
[Wendy gasps]
Ladies and gentlemen...
...as you can see,
we have a dinosaur
living among us.
His name is Spike.
[grunts]
Spike is a wild animal.
He was never meant
to be locked up.
He deserves to be free to roam
and explore
and live as nature intended.
And that's why I'm here today
to ask you all
to help me set him free.
Spike and dinosaurs like him
have been part of our community
for years,
though most of you
have never known this.
Yes, there are other dinosaurs
living around our town.
And though it may be tempting
to show them off to the world,
we must keep it a secret.
We cannot risk the safety
of these creatures
by exposing them.
I know some of you
may disagree with me,
but I urge you
to consider the consequences.
These animals
are not attractions.
They're living beings
with emotions and intelligence.
And if we don't protect them,
they could become targets
for exploitation,
experimentation or worse.
So please,
help me keep the secret
to protect the species.
To ensure they get to live
in peace and safety.
[cheering]
Thank you.
We can still do this.
We can still go live.
No.
No.
Kill the feed.
Already did.
But this is our big chance.
You're right, Vanessa.
This is my chance
to make things right.
You're fired.
[cheering and whistling]
Unh.
Okay. Um, listen.
You guys need to take Spike
and get him out of here.
Get him somewhere where--
where no one can ever find him.
You.
You have
a beautiful singing voice.
I would love
to showcase your talents
for a new series.
If you and your mom
will allow it.
Hi. I'm Ethan,
Madison's agent.
I feel like we can
work something out
that will help benefit
all parties involved.
Sounds good.
I guess we can work together,
and we'll figure something out.
[tracker ping]
Oh, look, the tracker's
finally working.
Well, that doesn't help us now.
We need to get Spike back home.
Oh.
Okay, but please be safe.
We will.
[]
Ma'am, I'm gonna need your car.
I'm the mayor.
[shrieking]
Stop.
I'm the mayor.
[pinging]
-It's working?
Yes.
-What is that?
-None of your business.
We have to go.
[pinging]
Nice.
Guys.
[beeping]
[grunts]
Of course. Why didn't
I think about this before?
[chuckles]
Okay... let's ride.
[roars]
Whoo-hoo.
[guttural growl]
Bye, Spike.
Be safe.
I'll always miss you.
See you later, buddy.
[guttural growl]
Wanna check it out?
I feel like
I could do anything now.
Let's go.
Yeah, let's go.
[roars]
[chirping]
[indistinct chatter]
[vocalizes]
[roars]
[groans]
What?
Aren't you gonna take a photo?
I already did.
It's in my mind.
[dinosaurs vocalize]
Not much further now.
[guttural growl]
This is the crystal
responsible for the portal
that we came through.
[hissing]
And this is goodbye for me.
See you next time.
Hopefully not for a while.
I don't know if I can deal
with another dino emergency.
[chuckles]
There won't be a next time.
There's something wrong
with the portal.
The only way
to protect the dinosaurs
is to destroy
all the crystals,
keeping the doorways
closed forever.
I'm gonna need to stay.
You can't.
You'll be trapped here.
Don't worry about me.
I'll be fine.
But I am gonna miss you guys.
[guttural growl]
All right, guys,
we gotta let him go.
Keep up the good work, Mason.
-You got it, Mortimer.
-Heh heh.
Thank you.
Let's go, kids.
Be well, friend.
[muted roar]
Okay.
Okay, Spike.
Now.
[roars]
[roars]
[roars]
[roars]
[roars]
[roars]
[roars]
Come on, guys.
We gotta go.
Come on, Maddy.

The so-called
event of a lifetime
turned out to be
one big disappointment
for locals and those who paid
to live stream
the discovery they thought
would change history.
The claim?
A living dinosaur.
Now here's what some residents
had to say about it.
[chuckles] Dinosaurs?
Heavens, no.
Dinosaurs? Are you kidding me?
Never seen 'em.
No, haven't seen
any of those.
If I saw a dinosaur,
I would literally faint.
And once I revived myself,
I'd run.
I got dinosaurs in my gas tank.
It's fossil fuel, isn't it?
Yeah, no, no dinosaurs.
I haven't seen any.
There-- No-- Never mind.
No, there's no dinosaurs.
We've not had any dinosaurs.
Did I see a dinosaur
with my own eyes?
Did I touch its tail?
Did I feel it breathe on me?
No.
If I saw a dinosaur,
I'd [bleep] my pants.
A case of a misidentified
creature in the woods
or a hoax to bring attention
to this sleepy town?
Only time will tell
as the producer
responsible
for the media stunt
is now facing possible charges
of fraud and deception.
For News 8 Live, I'm...
[sinister music plays]
You are gonna make me
very rich.
[hatchling squeals]
[majestic music plays]
First of all,
I'd like to dispel this myth
about me
trying to rob the town bank.
The truth of the matter
is your new mayor,
Mason, and his kid
and her friend
and their friend dinosaurs
-framed me.
-Heck, no,
I haven't seen any dinosaurs
around these parts.
My wife sounds like one
when she sleeps,
but that's about it.
That's why you sleep
in separate bedrooms.
True. Yeah, yeah,
you're right.
'Cause, uh, I know.
We're not gonna show this
to her, are we?
No, I hope not.
Dinosaurs in this town?
Huh. Heavens, no.
Chupacabras, yes.
Sasquatches, yes.
I saw a squirrel give me
a mean look one time,
but, no, no dinosaurs.
I touched a tail.
It went right by me.
It breathed on me.
It has a heavy, moist breath.
Oh, I can absolutely confirm.
I was actually responsible
for several of them.
Now, what the fascinating thing
is, is if you take the--
the-the DNA from, say,
an alligator,
combine that with the RNA,
ribonucleic acid,
with, say, that of a pelican
for the beak structure,
then what you actually get--
it's the nearest--
That's enough.
First of all, I'd like--
...to a pterodactyl. In their
early stages, of course,
it had become
a Jurassic chicken.
But what happens
is the humanitarian element.
One egg from a Jurassic chicken
can feed a family of four
for approximately six days.
Imagine that.
Are you done?
