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.
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?
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.
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...
Is that a dinosaur?
No.
It can't be.
Don't record this.
Wow, you're actually really cute.
I'm gonna name you Spike.
Here you go, Spike. Here you go.
-What was that? -It was a tracker.
Where'd you get a tracker?
Oh, I made it myself. It's a prototype.
And it clearly works.
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.
-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.
Has anyone seen a guy in rubber ducky shorts?
Dr. Holzer, report to operating room "B."
Dr. Holzer, there you are.
Holz?
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?
Doctor?
Doctor? Dr. Holzer, are you all right?
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.
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?
No.
- 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.
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--
I'm the mayor.
I'm telling you there are dinosaurs.
This was your idea.
I found Wendy. She works at a coffee shop.
Okay.
We have to take Spike to her.
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.
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.
- How do you know
that the man on the street and Wendy
isn't planning on doing just that?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
-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.
And action.
Uh... Shane?
What?
What? What?
You got a note for me, Jeff?
After it. Come on, guys.
I can't believe it.
The stories are true.
Change of plans.
We gotta capture that dinosaur.
No, no, no.
We need a professional.
You got another one.
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.
- 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.
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.
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.
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.
Follow me.
-Hey. -Hey.
-You guys up for this?
It's gonna take a while to get to the portal.
Yeah.
Battery's full.
-Tracker still isn't working. -That's okay.
We have a pretty good idea of where he's going.
Yep.
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.
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.
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.
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.
-Ethan. -What?
Where did you find this guy?
Online. He was highly recommended.
By who? He's just walking us around in circles.
-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?
Maybe something else came through.
Spike?
Hey, bud.
Easy.
Yeah.
That's good. Easy, boy.
Easy.
Yes.
Kids, we need to get Spike out of here now.
It's okay.
Spike.
It's okay.
- Remember me?
It's okay.
Yeah.
Hey, good boy. Good boy, come on.
Look. There's another one.
- Spike.
Hold up.
Come on.
It's okay.
Go.
Hey, careful.
Watch out.
Careful.
Hey, Alex, watch your step.
Watch your step.
Spike.
Come on.
What is wrong with this thing?
This way.
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.
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?
Hey, guys. Hurry up.
And let's go.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Maybe it's nice?
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.
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.
Wouldn't it be cooler if that thing was bigger?
Man, trust me, he's plenty big.
Hey, are we close? We need to get
the rest of our gear set up, okay?
Is that big enough for you?
Oh, yeah.
Guys, let's go. Secure him.
Wait, what?
-Hey. -Whoa.
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.
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.
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.
And then... celebrate our success.
For Spike.
And the preservation of their world.
For Spike.
Hi.
You're kidding.
- 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.
- 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. Thank you.
Tickets. Excuse me.
Um, where's your ticket?
I'm a celebrity.
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.
- Gaah.
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 gonna work.
- Not gonna work.
Ladies and gentlemen, please find your seats
and get ready for the experience of a lifetime.
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.
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.
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.
Are you okay?
You should really be more careful.
Thank you all for attending this momentous event.
In a few moments, we will go live.
Looks like our special guest is getting a little bit anxious.
I promise you, this will be a show
you will never forget.
Please remain calm. You are all perfectly safe.
Are you ready?
Let's start the show.
Wait. What's wrong?
Well, fix it. Heh.
Hey. Hey, it's okay.
Calm down.
Please calm down.
Go, go, go, go, go.
Go. You got this.
Oh, okay.
You were so wonderful.
-Excuse me. Give me the mic. -I have something to say.
Let her speak.
Ladies and gentlemen...
...as you can see, we have a dinosaur
living among us.
His name is Spike.
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.
Thank you.
We can still do this. We can still go live.
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.
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.
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.
Stop.
I'm the mayor.
- It's working?
Yes.
-What is that? -None of your business.
We have to go.
Nice.
Guys.
Of course. Why didn't I think about this before?
Okay... let's ride.
Whoo-hoo.
Bye, Spike.
Be safe.
I'll always miss you.
See you later, buddy.
Wanna check it out?
I feel like I could do anything now.
Let's go.
Yeah, let's go.
What?
Aren't you gonna take a photo?
I already did. It's in my mind.
Not much further now.
This is the crystal
responsible for the portal that we came through.
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.
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.
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.
Okay.
Okay, Spike.
Now.
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.
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 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...
You are gonna make me very rich.
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?
