02x06 - Up the River

[bunniefuu]

[echoing thud]

[atmospheric music plays]

[dramatic music plays]

[roars, growls]

[brakes squeal]

[echoing roar]

[tense music plays]

[Yaz] Come on, Ben!

[Kenji] Let's go!

[Brooklynn] I need time to figure it out.
I can't do that and keep you safe.

Just don't do anything stupid
and stay away.

- It's for your own good. Trust me!
- [Ben] Brooklynn!

Tell no one!

[Ben] Brooklynn...

- [sighs]
- [elevator pings]

No, no, no.

[music intensifies]

- [heartbeat thudding, heavy breathing]
- [tense music continues]

[faintly] Looks like someone's
gotta lay off the mangoes, am I right?

[laughing faintly]

[Darius] Come on, Ben.
We're heading back out.

[tense music and heartbeat fade]

[bubbling]

[groans]

Hey. You all right, bud?

Okay.

I think I need to tell you something.

[gasping]

Whoa. There's something there.

[suspenseful music plays]

Oh, come on.
We just got back in the water.

[music intensifies]

[grunting]

[sighs]

It's just a big old hippo. [laughs]

Aw! It's kinda cute.

[roars]

Watch out!

[screaming]

[groaning]

[exclaims] What the heck?

[screaming, groaning]

[dramatic music plays]

Come on, come on!

[grunting]

Can't these go any faster?

[music crescendos, fades]

Where did he go?

[suspenseful music plays]

[screaming]

- [roaring]
- [screaming]

Eat this, dirtbag!

- Really?
- What are you doing?

- [music crescendos, fades]
- [growling]

[grunts, munches]

Throw more, throw more!

- [suspenseful music plays]
- [grunting]

[gasping]

[laughs] I can't believe this is working.

[roars]

[exclaims] Uh-oh.

- [roaring]
- [screaming]

No, no, no!

[dramatic music plays]

Stop!

[crunching]

Take this!

[grunting]

[roars]

[laughs] Yeah!

See your life flash before your eyes,
hippo? [laughs]

Come on.
Get the boats to the middle of the river.

It's too deep.

The hippo won't be able to stand
and attack us there.

- [dramatic music plays]
- [gasps]

[grunting]

[serene music plays]

- [sighing]
- Yes!

- Oh man.
- [whooping, laughing]

It's gone.

[whoops]

We did it, girl. [laughs]

[sighs]

Who knew hippos could be so aggressive?

Actually, hippos k*ll nearly


Thanks. What a great time
to share that comforting fact.

Well, it was no match for us.

Oh snap.

- [Ben] That's not good.
- We may have underestimated that hippo.

- Oh crud.
- [suspenseful music plays]

[suspenseful music continues]

[rhythmic music plays]

- Ronnie?
- [Ronnie] Hey! You'll never believe this.

I heard from the DPW officer who
helped take down that Louisiana warehouse.

Mateo something? He said
Darius and your friends helped him.

They got on a boat!

He thinks they're headed to Africa,
I think Seneg...

Stop! I don't wanna know.

It's better if I don't. Safer.

[Ronnie] Okay...
Listen, you don't have to keep doing this.

Whatever information you have
on the Broker's global operation,

I'm sure it's more than enough to...

No!

It's not.

[atmospheric music plays]

I need to know everything she's doing.

I need to get inside her head.

If I'm gonna do this,
I have to go all in, I have to...

I have to do whatever it takes
to keep my friends and family safe.

- All of them. Including you.
- [Ronnie] Brooklynn, what are you talk...

[music intensifies]

[music crescendos, fades]

[atmospheric music plays]

What should we do?

I know where we can go.

Hey y'all. Zayna's got something.

There's a place not far.
My baba takes me there sometimes.

We can trade our boats out for new ones.

You heard her, people.
Follow Zayna's lead!

[stirring music plays]

[suspenseful music plays]

[Darius] Where is everybody?

[exhales] I don't know.

[phone rings]

[atmospheric music plays]

- Baba?
- [man] My love. What's wrong?

Wrong? Oh, uh...

Nothing is wrong.
We are just making a pit stop.

[man] Are you sure?
Do you need me to come down?

A client saw a dinosaur further north,
a carnivore.

I was going to check it out, but I can...

It's all right.
What you're doing is important.

We made it to Uncle Oumar's place.

[man sighs] Good.

Oumar will take care of you.

Baba, I don't see him. I don't see anyone.

Last time we were here,
it was so busy, but now...

[man] It is the off-season.

Perhaps he's closed it down for vacation.

Yeah! Yeah.

He's probably just on a trip.

I have to go, Baba.

[man] Okay. Keep me posted. Stay safe.

- [man speaks Wolof]
- [speaks Wolof]

Hey Zayna.

Wanna help me stock up on food since
that hungry, hungry hippo ate all of ours?

We'll meet back up by the boats.

Where do you think that hippo went?
I need to get that phone back.

Oh, okay.
And, uh, how would you do that exactly?

Find the hippo, wait for the phone
to come out the, you know, other end?

Think that could work?

- What?!
- You could jumpstart it with some mangoes.

[groans]

Just borrow mine.

Really? Thank you, thank you.
I'll give it back in a bit, I promise.

Perfect. Now let's get these boats,
then make like a banana and split.

[all groan]

I really think something's up with Kenj.

Yeah.

Even old show-off Kenji
was more careful than he is now.

What was he thinking,
trying to grab Brooklynn's phone?

I already tried talking to him.

But you?

[Yaz] You're his best friend.

[sighs] You're right.

I'll talk to him.

[Ben gibbers] Okay.

What the... No. [groans]

Okay. Here I go.

Actually, can you go with me?

I gotta do something real quick.

Get started with Kenj,
and I'll catch up. Okay!

[Yaz] You got this.

Yeah. I got this.

I got this.

Oumar makes roasted peanuts
that are so good with bissap,

and last time,
there were even these fresh oysters.

[Zayna] Here.

Wow! I didn't know
they could grow like that.

You are on a roll today, Zayna.

Nah, I don't know. [chuckles]

You are!

You were amazing on the river.

That was so cool when you were like,
"Wa-chaw! Take that, hippo!"

[laughs]

I don't remember saying, "Wa-chaw!"

[laughing]

You're the one who was so cool
whacking it right in the nose.

You were like an action star.

You always seem to know
what the smart thing to do is.

How do you become so confident like that?

Oh, uh...

You know, it helps to have
people who support you.

I have my friends,
and you have your mom and dad.

That's really special.
Makes it easier to just trust your gut.

Now my gut's telling me that even though
my vegetarian self doesn't like oysters,

everyone else will.

Especially with some hot sauce.

Ooh, that sounds yummy.

I'm gonna go look for some behind the bar.
Maybe they'll have roasted peanuts for me.

Mm. Grab some for me too, please.

[screams]

[dramatic music plays]

[gasps]

Sullivan.

Did you find the sauce?

Nope, nope. That's enough oysters.

Let's show Yaz and Ben
what we've got so far.

Wait. What about you?
You didn't find anything at the bar?

Uh, nope!
Definitely nothing appetizing over there.

- Come on, come on. Ring already.
- [phone dialing]

Ben?

Please tell me you've given up on
trailing the hippo to a bathroom.

I gotta get it back.

Hey, hey, hey!

Just take a deep breath, okay?

No one's mad at you for dropping
Brooklynn's phone. It's okay. All good.

No, it's not!

What is going on?
Why do you need it so bad?

I just... [groans] do!

I-I can't... [hyperventilating]

[clicking]

Ben! I can't help you
if you don't tell me what's up.

I-I want to!

- But I promised...
- [suspenseful music plays]

You wouldn't believe me anyway.
I mean, I wouldn't believe me.

You'd just say, "Where's your proof?"

Well, all my proof is gone!

Dissolving in the stomach
of a weirdly aggressive beast.

Okay, wait, wait, wait.
Just slow down, okay?

- Wha... Proof? Proof of what?
- [Ben] Okay.

Say you had a...

friend who found out a secret that
changed their whole perception of reality.

Like seriously mind-blowing stuff.

[Ben] And they were forced
to keep the secret.

- [straining]
- [Ben] Say that friend wanted to tell you.

- Yaz?
- [Ben] But was nervous.

Because they didn't know how everyone
would react, or if everyone would be mad,

or even believe them, or if
it would be even safe to say anything.

What should I do? [groans]

I mean "they."
The friend, what should they do?

I-I don't know.

Uh, I'm so sorry,
can you just run through it again?

Ben! Look at
all these oysters Zayna found!

Sammy, I was just... [groans]

We need to leave now.

That guy Sullivan
from the cargo ship was here.

Wait, what? He's here?

Was here. He's D-E-A-D.

[gasps]

Yaz, I could really use your...
What's wrong?

Uh, okay, just, uh...

One problem at a time, um...

Okay, uh, let's just...

- [squawks]
- [gasps]

[honking]

[birds cawing]

[shrieking]

[screaming]

- [gasps]
- [crunching, shrieking]

[crashing]

[rustling]

[soft growling]

- [chittering]
- Oh no.

I think I know why this place is deserted.

- [dramatic music plays]
- [roaring]

[elevator pings]

[gasps]

- Welcome home.
- [ominous music plays]

I've been dying to ask, where did you get
your cute new security system?

It had so many fun features
I played around with,

but you might want to report
some of its bugs to customer service.

Is that so?

You know, I really do love this place.

Really chic. I hope I can afford
someplace like this someday.

It's so inspiring how well you've done
with your dinosaur trading ventures.

- [gasps]
- [Brooklynn] Looking for this?

- [suspenseful music plays]
- [shrieking]

[gasps]

[shrieks]

[growls]

[music intensifies]

- [dramatic music plays]
- Another Suchomimus?

- [Ben] Why are there so many?
- [roars]

[straining]

[roars]

Almost there!

Kenji!

[shrieks]

- [roars]
- Oh no!

What is he doing now?

Get on the boat and leave.
I'll get Kenji and catch up to you.

- [roars]
- [yells]

[gasping]

- [groans]
- [roaring]

Yaz!

- [grunts]
- [gasps]

Go! I'll get on the boat with the guys!

[growls]

What is it you want?

Or are you here just to destroy my art?

I have a business proposition.

I wanna learn from you.

I want to use
my unique experience with dinosaurs

and turn it into a successful business.

Just like you have.

[scoffs] I don't believe for a second
you want to sell dinosaurs.

I've been terrorized by dinosaurs
since I was 13.

I wasn't a fan
even before I lost part of my arm to one.

But now, I see
there's a way I can profit off of them.

If you can't beat 'em,

sell 'em to the highest bidder
and buy a sick penthouse.

And what do I get in return?

I'll help you find
the rest of the Nublar Six.

[chuckles] And I'm supposed to trust
the girl who I put a hit on?

I understand why you did what you did.

It was just business. But my "friends"?

They said they cared about me,

but when I really needed them,
they didn't show up.

You have the audacity
to return to my home,

hack into my new security system,
and steal my laser pointer.

You remind me of myself a bit.
So, go ahead.

Point that at me.

[ominous music plays]

[growling]

[music crescendos, fades]

If I wanted to take you out,
I would have done it already.

[exhales] You really are something,
aren't you, Brooklynn?

- [buzzing]
- [exhales]

I might change my mind tomorrow,
but for now, you can stay.

You need to prove yourself though.

And I have the perfect opportunity
for you to do that.

I need to check on
one of my operations that's gone quiet.

- In Senegal.
- [suspenseful music plays]

Africa. Great. I'm all in.

[music intensifies]

[birds calling]

[laughs]

That Sucho-hippo showdown was wild!

They must have been
what cleared out the area.

At least we know
we're on the right track upriver.

[groaning]

Are you okay? [gasps]

Kenji! Your shoulder!

Oh. Would you look at that.

It's fine! Happens all the time
when I fall rock climbing.

I got this.

- [grunts]
- [cracking]

[gasps]

[retches] Oh God.

Did it work?

[whoops] There we go.

[groans]

Are, are you sure you're... [retches]

okay?

Yeah, yeah.

It's not too bad.

I mean, let's be real.

This isn't nearly
the worst pain I've ever felt.

[chuckles]

[clears throat]

Kenji, you can't keep putting yourself
in danger like this.

What's really going on with you?

[atmospheric music plays]

I, um...

I think I...

I see the other boat!

[exhales] Thank goodness they're safe.

Wait, where's Yaz?
I thought I saw her heading to your boat.

[whimpers]

She said she was getting on the boat
with you guys.

[ominous music plays]

Did we leave Yaz?

[growling]

[music crescendos]
