01x01 - Here Come the Armorsaurs

[bunniefuu]

[narrator] Sixty-five million years ago,
the dinosaurs disappeared.

They were taken.

Now, they're back.

But so is our ancient enemy.

And only we can protect the world
from a full-scale invasion.

We are the Armorsaurs!

[roaring]

[driver 1] We're running late.
The Colonel's gonna lose it.

[driver 2] You worry too much.
It'll be fine.

[driver 3] Quit chatting
and watch the road.

Is there a problem?

[Dr. Chandler] Uh, they're almost here.

-Three klicks out.
-That's three klicks too many.

Looks like they're taking
their sweet time.

Transport One,
you're running a bit behind.

What's the hold up?

Everything's fine.

Just being careful on these winding
mountain roads, sir.

In quantum mechanics,
Schrödinger's cat theory would suggest

that the cargo is both dead and alive
at the same time.

So... [chuckles]

...to ensure it's not the former,
best not to go too fast.

They're not transporting an imaginary cat.

Transport One, this is
Lieutenant Colonel Helmsworth.

Ignore Dr. Chandler. Time is running out.

Hit the gas, and that's an order.

You need to deliver that cargo
before the anesthesia wears off.

[driver 2] Understood, Ma'am.
Hey, how's Ajax looking back there?

[driver 1] The anesthesia is running low.

[driver 2] We'll be there
in a few minutes.

[♪ ominous instrumental music playing]

[exclaims] Something's on the roof!

[screams]

It's a Chromedrone! We're under attack!

[exclaims] Another one!

[driver 3] Shake it off, shake it off!

[driver 2 screaming]

-[tires screech]
-[glass shattering]

[thuds]

Transport One, what's your status?

Transport One, do you copy?
Come in. Do you copy?

[alarm sounds]

[banging]

[Helmsworth] What's your status,
Transport One? Come in!

[♪ foreboding instrumental music playing]

[chitters]

[growls]

[roaring]

Let's get Su out there.

Attention! Attention, Specialist Su.

[over PA] Scramble your Armorsaur
to the T. rex recovery site

for immediate backup.
There's been a Chromedrone attack.

Specialist Su here. Message received.

Have transport meet us
in the hangar. Su out!

-[groans softly]
-[phone ringing]

Who calls at, like, 10:30 in the morning?

-[ringing continues, beeps]
-Hello?

Oh!

Hey, Su, what's up?

Morning, bro.
I just needed to call to let you know

the mouse has left the house.

"The mouse has left the house"?

Oh, you got a mission?

What's the point of having a code phrase
if you ask me about a mission?

I'll call you when I'm done
with my business.

But I just wanted to say...

be good, baby brother.

You too, big bro. Be safe.

Love you, man.

-Yeah, bye.
-[phone beeps]

[sighs] He'll be all right.

[snorts softly]

Let's go, Cobalt. We got a mission, girl.

-[growls]
-I know, I know.

We'll have fun later, okay?

But right now, we have a T. rex to rescue.

Let's get armored up!

[♪ enthralling instrumental music playing]

[roaring]

[Helmsworth] The T. rex
is off chasing Chromedrones.

The ExoMech Recovery Team is nearby,

but you know better than anyone

they won't be able to contain him
without you and Cobalt.

Sending you the coordinates now.

Get to them as fast as you can.

All right, Cobalt,
let's go get our T. rex back.

[growling]

[ExoMech leader] Man, what a mess!
And no sign of Ajax.

[ExoMech 2] Spoke too soon!
He's loose and he's not happy.

[roaring]

ExoMech leader, remember,
do not hurt Ajax.

Calm him down and bring him home.

[ExoMech leader] That's it, buddy.
Be calm.

We're just gonna put you to sleep.

[ExoMech 2] Oh, man! [groans]

Easy... [gasps, grunts]

[grunting and exclaiming]

[grunting]

[groans]

[roars]

[grunts]

[ExoMech 2] Where are you, Su?

[Su] I'm almost there.

[ExoMech leader] Great. [groans]

At last. Some good news. [groaning]

[revving]

[♪ dramatic instrumental music playing]

[Su] Hang on.

He's targeting my controls!

[ExoMech leader] Su, what's going on?

We can't contain him
much longer. [screaming]

[revving]

[Su] I'm dealing with
some road rage, Sully.

I'll be there in two shakes.

[ExoMech leader] Alright,
we tried it the easy way.

Now we're gonna try it
the hard way. [grunts]

Uh-oh!

[groaning]

-[roars]
-[grunts]

[screams, grunts] Hey, good boy, heel.

Ooh! No, not the arm! [grunts]

Hey, that's government property!

[computer beeping]

[revs]

[groans] My weapons
are useless against this guy.

Time to take this up a notch.

Gotcha.

[Switchblade] Hello, Su.

[Su] How do you know who I am?

[Switchblade] You and I, we go way back.

[Su] What do you want?

[Switchblade] If you know what's best
for you, you'll stay out of my way.

[beeping]

This has been fun. Great to catch up, Su,

but I got a T. rex to grab.

[Su] Do I know him?

Colonel Helmsworth, this guy's after Ajax.

[Helmsworth] Su,
get there as fast as you can.

-Go, go, go!
-[Su] On my way.

[sighs in relief]

HQ, Ajax is still here.

-[roars]
-Roger that.

[Su] Okay, big guy. Time to come home.

[growls]

[Su] Preparing tranquilizer charges.

[groans] Chromedrones!

Get out of here.

[beeping]

-[electricity crackling]
-[Su screaming]

[inaudible]

Su!

[♪ somber instrumental music playing]

[grunting]

[continues grunting]

[Joon] It'll be okay.

It's only been a couple of days.

Sometimes Su's radio silence
lasts a month.

Chill out. [exhales]

You got students coming.

-Focus on that.
-[door creaks]

Hey, kids, put on your gear.

No running or screaming.

Get ready for class.

Class begins now.

Hey. Sorry, guys.

The comic store is two doors down.

So, you guys aren't into comics, are you?

[♪ foreboding instrumental music playing]

[straining]

Who are you?

[groaning]

[henchmen groaning]

[panting]

What do you want?

You're better than I was expecting.

Almost as good as your brother, Su.

Wait. You know Su?

[sirens blaring, approaching]

We'll pick this up later.

[groaning]

Joon, you okay?

-What is going on?
-I'll explain on the way to the base.

Let's go.

[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

[servicewoman] Colonel Hemsworth,
we have the last of the recruits.

Okay, got it. We go in here? Thank you.

[scoffs] What a weirdo.

How are you okay with this, Prisca?

I mean, the people who abducted us?

Their clothes, totally outdated.

Then they rushed us into a black car
under some weird military helicopter,

tell us practically nothing, except,
"It's a matter of national security."

I mean, we've basically been kidnapped.

They had government
identification badges, Paloma,

and their cars
had military license plates.

[gasps]

You... [chuckling]
How could I be so stupid?

This is one of those adventure gifts?

You got me a birthday gift?

-No, I--
-It's what you call it,

an escape room.

Yes. I love it. You know, I would prefer
a gift card or a sweater, of course.

But this is gonna be great.

So, I guess we should
start looking for clues, huh?

Your birthday
was eight months ago, Paloma.

I'm Liam. You must be Prisca and Paloma.

Cute. Look at you
and your little lab coat.

You must be our host.

Well, yes. I am a scientist here.

[chuckles]

A scientist? Adorable! He's a scientist.

Let's be honest, you're a little young
to be playing a scientist,

and those glasses,
they don't even have any lenses in them.

[laughs] Hilarious! I love it.

Well, actually, I'm 17. And the glasses,

they're more of a comfort device
for my anxiety.

Mmm-hmm. So, Mr. Scientist--

Liam. Just Liam.

What's the story here, huh?

Escape from a zombie lab testing room?

Secret agents escape a high-tech prison?

Dinosaurs.

Oh! Didn't see that coming.

[sighs] I'm sorry, Liam.
My sister can be a bit, um--

Okay, thanks!

Ooh.

[loudly] Oh! Hi.

That weird guy told me to come in here.

They just flew me here
in a military helicopter.

-Maybe just...
-Oh. [chuckles softly]

Sorry.

I'm, uh, Taher Jahangir Shirazi.

-Or you can just call me T.J.
-Hi, T.J.

Look at this place. Impressive.

Eh, sort of. It's cute and all,
but hardly convincing.

Wait a minute.
Is this one of those escape rooms?

-Yes!
-No, it's--

Last thing I remember,
is being approached

by some special agent-looking
kind of dudes.

-Mmm-hmm.
-Black suits and dark glasses.

Secret agents. I knew it.
Didn't I say that, sis?

They said something about dinosaurs.

I guess they're using "dinosaurs"
as a code name, maybe.

Of course.

Okay. I am Liam.

-He's a scientist.
-Cute, right?

Aren't you a little young
to be playing a scientist?

-I'm actually--
-And what's up with the fake glasses, man?

Not very convincing.

-They--
-No worries, brah.

Looking good.

All right. So, I guess we should
start looking for clues then, right?

Right. Fun, fun, fun, fun!

Sorry.

[Liam] Okay. Um...

-Let's--
-[Joon] Okay. Got it.

-Weirdo.
-Joon.

-Yeah.
-Hi, I'm Liam.

-Uh, I'm a scientist here.
-A boy scientist?

I was flown out here in a helicopter
after getting beat up at my dojang.

A dojang? Really?
They need to write you better material.

-Kung fu?
-No, it's tae kwon do.

Well, Mr. Kwon-Do,
if that really is your name.

Do you happen to have any clues
on how to escape this escape room?

Oh, sick! You came in a chopper?

-Yeah.
-Me too!

I wanna see my brother, Su.

Logical.

Welcome to the Pilots Lounge.
My name is Liam.

Have we started the game now?
I don't see a timer.

This is a top-secret military base.

You are all here for your protection.
You are being hunted.

Cool. Hunted. Got it.

-No. No, not cool. Not cool at all.
-Right.

Not cool. Got it.

-Each of you--
-What the heck?

Obviously, I didn't have a chance
to pick out the right outfit.

You will be provided with a uniform.

Is it cute?

[Dr. Chandler] Oh! Hello, I see
the last of the recruits have arrived.

Uh, Liam, please lead them
to the Control Room.

Oh, thank goodness.
Yes, Sir, Dr. Chandler. Okay, follow me.

[exclaims] Now the escape room
game begins.

Whoa!

What is this place?

[Liam] Dr. Chandler said
this is the Control Room,

the center of everything at the base.

Guys, they got a sick
video game projector.

There are no games allowed in this room.

Oh. Hi, I'm T.J.

Welcome, everyone.

Welcome to ARM Station, central control.

My name is Jessalyn Helmsworth.

I'm Lieutenant Colonel

in the United States Military's
Robotics and AI Division.

And I'm here to answer all your questions.

Yes.

This is the worst escape room
I've ever been in.

That is not a question.

-Who's after us?
-What dinosaurs are we piloting?

-Are there any snacks?
-Is there Wi-Fi?

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
[chuckles nervously] Whoa.

One at a time.

Okay. Why is my brother, Su,
and the rest of us being hunted?

First of all, you're being hunted

by an extremely dangerous
and unpredictable rogue mercenary.

He's known as Switchblade.

He needs you all
because of the Avian Anomaly.

It's a gene you each possess

that makes you very unique and powerful.

A gene, so rare,

it's only been identified
in a few individuals worldwide.

This gene gives you the ability
to communicate telepathically with birds.

That makes sense.

I've always liked birds.

Uh, actually, me too.
I just never wanted to admit it.

I thought I was the only guy
who knew what my parakeet was thinking.

Was it about seeds?

Whoa!

You all have the ability.
And this anomaly, theoretically,

should allow you to bond
and communicate with a dinosaur.

Yes, a dinosaur.

We've brought them back.

Birds are, after all,
their closest relative.

[chuckles softly]

-They are?
-Yes, Paloma.

Now, before I get ahead of myself,

there's something I want to show everyone.

[glass shattering]

[chitters]

Is that a for-real dinosaur?

Yes, that is a "for-real" dinosaur.

And the triceratops in armor?

A real triceratops. In armor.

Yes. Joon's brother, Su, has the anomaly

and he bonded instantly
with this triceratops.

And our hope is that each of you
will bond with a dinosaur as well.

Which brings me to why you are here.

You are here to be pilots
in an elite program called...

the "Armorsaurs."

So, when you said
we'd be piloting dinosaurs...

We mean actual living, breathing...

-Biting--
-...real dinosaurs.

I can't believe this.

I raised Ajax in our Dinosaur Nursery

until he was mature enough
to be transported to the base.

He was such a good T. rex.

I do not understand
what has made him so angry.

I'm gonna be piloting a real dinosaur?

An Armorsaur, yes.

That's why you brought us in here? Cool.

-[Paloma] What are those?
-[Helmsworth] Chromedrones.

Extraterrestrial w*r bots.

This is why the Armorsaur program exists.

To protect our world
against the alien threat.

[scoffs] Aliens?

Yes.

An ancient alien w*r
from a distant planet has invaded Earth.

We are all in grave danger.

But the T. rex is out there,
and we need to find it and bring it back

before Switchblade can find him.

Well, well, well.

Hello, children.

Welcome to the future.

Everyone, this is Dr. Chandler,

the creator
of this top-secret ARM Station.

And this is Kex,
a first-generation Armorsaur pilot.

It's nice to meet you all.

Well...

who wants to meet some dinosaurs, hmm?

Follow me.

[chittering]

[♪ enthralling instrumental music playing]

[Dr. Chandler] There they are.

-[Joon] Whoa!
-[T.J.] Awesome!

-[Paloma] Wow!
-[T.J.] No way!

We brought 'em back.

Ajax,

we're coming for you.

I hope we're not too late.

[chittering]
