[rattles]

[growls]

[roars]

[screeching, squeaking]

[door whirs, thuds]

Guys, come on.

[beeping]

-[foreboding music]

-[all gasp]

[birds chirping]

[gasps]

[squeals]

Guys, do you remember how,

like, five seconds ago,

we were in a desert?

What the heck is this place?

-[ground rumbles]

-[gasps]

-[rumbling]

-[both gasp]

[gasps]

No, it can't be.

If I didn't know any better,

I'd say that feels like a…

-[dinosaur snorting]

-Huh?

T. rex.

[roars]

-Oh, no!

-[panicked screaming]

You have got to be kidding me!

[all panting]

[growling]

[roars]

[both gasp]

Does every island have dinosaurs now?

Let's ask her.

Who's that?

You're trespassing. What are you up to?

[gasps]

Are you here to spy?

Yeah. We're an elite band

of teenage secret agents.

[whispering]

Are you crazy?

You're eating a sandwich

in the middle of a T. rex fight?

First of all, they're not fighting.

They're pla--

Playing!

Cranio-facial biting! It's true!

Uh, yes. Don't change the subject!

Lady, we don't wanna be here, either.

We just wanna go home.

Oh, yeah, we'll see about that. Follow me.

You really expect me to believe

that children survived alone

on Isla Nublar for six entire months?

Trust me.

It's hard for us to believe, too.

Mm-hm.

I suppose you must be telling the truth,

because who would make up

such a crazy story if they didn't have to.

Not saying that you don't have to,

or that you're crazy, but who knows?

I don't know you,

you don't know me for that matter.

Am I yammering on? I've been out here

for the better part of a month

with no one to talk to, and I guess

I had more to say than I realized.

You look so familiar.

-[dinosaur roars]

-[Darius gasps]

Don't worry. They're almost tuckered out.

They won't bother us.

How could you know that?

I study dinosaur brains.

[chuckles]

Behavioral paleoneurobiologist.

I'm Mae Turner--

Turner! That's it! You're Dr. Mae Turner!

It's an honor to meet you.

I read your book.

A Theoretical Emotional Journey

with Theropods.

Ah, you were the one!

[chuckles]

If you could just point us to a phone,

we'll be on our way.

Yeah. Slight problem with that.

This island is completely shut

off the grid.

No communications in or out.

-Are you kidding?

-Why?

Wait, you can't use that to call out?

Sorry. Closed circuit.

Mainly I use this to connect

to a doodad in their brains… Oh!

Can't tell you, actually.

Proprietary research.

So, there's no way home.

Don't lose faith.

You can all rest up with me

until we figure out

how to get you out of here.

Do we trust her?

[laughs]

I'll take that as a no.

[chuckles]

So, the saber-toothed tiger

and the T. rexes,

your bosses are making

prehistoric creatures?

Some. Although they got the T. rexes

from Isla Sorna.

Not that I should be

telling you any of this.

-Why?

-Hold up. Important announcement time.

Whatever you do, do not go down there.

Super dangerous.

All right, off we pop.

We're here.

[gasps]

[chuckles]

-[beeps]

-[all gasp]

[Sammy chuckles]

[Brooklynn] Oh.

Wow. As far as caves go,

this one's pretty swank.

You live here?

Live, work, play surprisingly competitive

games of poker with myself.

I usually win.

[laughs]

[breathy laugh]

Ah!

All right, I'm gonna go whip up

some sandwiches.

[humming]

What are you doing?

We're not gonna just take her word for it,

there's no phone here.

Yeah, dude. Did you learn nothing

from Mitch and Tiff?

I guess it doesn't hurt to look around.

[Dr. Turner continues humming]

[Dr. Turner]

Are you guys all right out there?

Yeah. Uh, no problems over here!

[sighs]

No phone. I think she's telling the truth.

[Dr. Turner continues humming]

[Brooklynn] We got nothing.

Us too.

[Sammy gasps]

Mantah Corp.

-[both gasp]

-[all gasp]

If Mae works for Mantah Corp,

then we gotta get out of here.

-Who wants a sandwich?

-[gasps]

Mmm.

This is really good.

Something wrong?

-Yes. We wanna ask you about--

-Something to drink?

[gasps]

Of course! Silly me.

You need cocoa.

-We need to go.

-Maybe not.

But Mae works for the company

that blackmailed your family.

Yeah. And I did, too.

Sometimes, good people can be made

to do bad things by bad people.

Let's at least check out

that dangerous area.

What if there's a phone

or a way off the island,

and she's just trying

to keep us away from it?

-Why would she do that?

-So we can't tell anyone

about whatever shady stuff

Mantah Corp is doing here.

Okay. I'll keep her busy

while you check it out.

I'll stay, too.

Maybe we'll get some answers

while we're at it.

So, it's settled. Kenji and Brooklynn

will go check it out.

You and Ben should come too.

We don't know what's out there.

[door opens]

Bad news. I only have two cups.

Good news, with the right attitude,

a bowl can be a cup!

[chuckles]

-Wait, where did everyone go?

-Taking a nap.

Oh. I'll go see

if they need extra blankets.

I should have some in the back closet.

[Darius] Dr. Turner!

You figured out how to tell

what a dinosaur is… feeling?

That's amazing!

Once I made sure the behaviors

the dinosaurs exhibited

matched the cortical activity,

it was only a matter of time

before I could anticipate their needs.

Who did you say you worked for?

I didn't. What--

This could change everything

we know about dinosaurs.

Hypothetically, mm-hm.

[metal clanks]

Another metal rectangle,

like the one we saw in the desert.

Bones. It's a feeding platform.

Which means we should probably

get outta here before mealtime.

[Ben grunts]

Ben.

I am curious. Uh, who ate grubs first?

You or Bumpy?

On purpose? Me.

What? That sounds like a story.

[laughs]

So, hypothetically,

this is the coolest thing ever!

I know! We can anticipate their needs

instead of just guessing,

and I really have to shush up because

I'm not supposed to be telling you this!

-Okay. So, that's what you're doin'.

-[Dr. Turner] Hmm.

Don't know what you're talking about.

These are just random hypotheticals.

So, hypothetically, what do your bosses

plan to do with your research?

I can't say exactly.

But it's safe to assume that once

this research facility is up and running,

we'll be making scientific breakthroughs

left and right!

I hope you're right.

So, I said, "That's what you get for

walking with your mouth open, Bumpster."

[Ben] But when there were

no digestive issues,

I figured,

"Eh, anything can be food once."

Wow. No one has ever smiled

at the end of that story.

Well, it's the way you tell it.

-[leaves rustling]

-[gasps]

-[gasps]

-Did you hear that?

[screeching]

Is that… Did he seriously follow us

all the way from the boat?

[squeaks]

[rumbling]

[Brooklynn]

The metal claw from the desert.

It was from one of these things!

[scanning]

[squeaks]

[robot whirring]

-Unauthorized life form detected.

-[zapping]

[beeping]

Hmm. That's a new sound.

I don't think she has any idea

Mantah Corp is bad news,

which makes them double evil lying liars!

"Unauthorized life form detected

in sector four."

"Elimination protocol initiated."

Oh, that sounds extreme.

What's "Elimination protocol"?

[gasps]

-[zapping]

-[gasps]

[all whimper]

[whirring]

-[scanning]

-[gasps]

[whimpers]

[all panting]

-[loud thud]

-[shudders]

[Dr. Turner] Oi!

[scanning]

Dr. Mae Turner, authorized life form.

What can I do to assist you?

Never do that again for starters.

You k*lled a Compsognathus

I could have studied!

We don't have any here on the island.

Why would you do that?

Primary directive is to protect

biome ecostasis.

Unrecognized lifeforms pose a threat

to ecostasis.

Finishing patrol.

[Dr. Turner] Wait!

Uh. No, never mind.

-[relieved sighs]

-[chuckling]

Thank goodness you're all okay.

What was that thing?

One of the BRADs.

Bio Robotic Assistance Droids.

They care for the island,

but I had no idea they did that!

You mean k*lling?

Back to the cave.

The BRADs aren't authorized to go

in there, you'll be safe inside.

And then, you can explain

why you lied to me,

and why you were out here

in the first place!

After everything Mantah Corp said

they'd do to my family,

can you blame us for not trusting you?

No, I suppose not.

But the work I'm doing is good.

How could understanding dinosaurs be bad?

Yeah, well, until five minutes ago,

you thought those BRADs

were just friendly assistants.

Okay, the BRADs were programmed

to protect the biomes.

I don't think anyone anticipated six kids

and a Compy showing up unannounced.

-[beeps]

-Drat. It's almost dinner time.

-What, you getting takeout?

-Dinner time for the T. rexes.

I get the rare opportunity to observe

mother-daughter eating habits.

It's actually surprisingly sweet.

Until I can figure out how to ensure

your safety, you all remain here.

Stay away from k*ller robots

and dinosaurs?

Yeah, no problem.

Odd. The BRADs usually steer clear

when it's feeding time.

-So…

-[gasps]

Do you ring a dinner bell or…

Goodness. What are you do…

Go back right now!

That'd probably be more dangerous, since…

[robot whirring]

-Shh.

-[rumbling]

[sighs]

Hey, Ben, how about a game?

Not much of a card person.

Cool. Yeah, cool. Uh…

Then, uh, wanna help me

make some snacks in the kitchen?

-Uh…

-I do, Yaz.

Dude! What's up with you?

Nothing. Just being a good wingman.

You totally have a crush on Brooklynn.

No, I don't.

Okay, fine. But even if I do,

you're being super weird.

Uh, she's gonna know something's up.

[chuckles]

-Go make your move, stud.

-Stud?

Yaz, until I'm ready,

can you just… chill? Please?

-[door beeps]

-[gasps]

[robot approaching]

-[gasps]

-She said they weren't allowed in here!

Hide!

[ominous music]

[breathes heavily]

[scanning]

[gasps]

[both gasp]

[gasps]

[Dr. Turner] Aw.

Aren't they cute?

You know, Big Eatie

always lets Little Eatie eat first.

[whispering]

I can't believe this is your job!

Not helping.

[munching]

See, Sammy? How could any of this

possibly be a bad thing?

-[roaring]

-[all gasp]

-Mae?

-Huh?

Their aggression levels

are off the charts.

I've never seen this before!

[both growling]

[gasps]

No, they're hurting each other.

[Dr. Turner] Her pain receptors are dark.

What is happening?

Mantah Corp.

I have to call a BRAD to tranquilize them

before they hurt each other.

[roaring]

[scanning]

[both gasp]

Unauthorized life form detected.

[gasps]

-[Kenji grunts]

-[metal clanks]

[Kenji sighs]

You guys okay?

[both growl]

[beeps]

[Sammy and Darius whimper]

[hissing]

[roaring]

[loud thuds]

[grunts]

Do you require anything else,

Dr. Mae Turner?

No, thank you.

[panting]

[sighs]

Come on. Let's go.

[Sammy] Dr. Turner!

Is this normally in their food?

-[relieved sighs]

-Oh!

Did you see that swing?

Oh, it was perfect!

[chuckles]

Hey, guys.

Could you give me and Yaz a second?

Uh… sure.

Yaz, listen. Um…

You're a great girl, and I like you.

But I just don't like like you.

-What?

-[Ben] Don't be upset.

It's just that I'm just now

starting to find myself,

and I gotta work on me

before I can think about someone else.

Ben!

I totally understand. Thanks.

[door beeps, buzzes]

What happened here?

Uh, it came in a few minutes

after you left.

It was scanning all over the place.

There goes the one place

we were supposed to be safe.

[sighs]

Apologies, Sammy.

Seems you were right

to be suspicious of Mantah Corp.

Time to find out

what they're doing to my dinosaurs.

[Kash vocalizing]

[vocalizing continues]

[grunts]

-[beeps]

-[gasps]

What?

-[Kash] Ah!

-[shatters]

[Kash] Are you kidding me?

Stupid dinosaurs

destroyed one of my BRADs?
