05x01 - Reunited

[bunniefuu]

[rumbling]

[theme music]

[theme music continues]

[rattling]

[growls]

[roars]

-Dad?

-[all gasp]

Kenji? You You're alive?

Oh.

[sighs]

No way.

Kenji's father.

I never thought I'd see you again.

Me too.

It is so nice to meet you, uh,

Mr. Kon, I'm guessing?

I'd shake your hand, but, uh

[chuckles awkwardly]

Of course. Have the BRADs stand down.

Are you kidding me?

[device beeps]

[robots whir]

[Kenji] Dad

[stutters]

What are you doing here?

It's a long story.

Hey, do I know you?

I thought you worked with Masrani.

You run Mantah Corp now?

Yes, Kenji. A lot's changed.

I took over at Mantah Corp

after Jurassic World went down.

So you're in charge of this island?

You're behind the dino fights?

You let him keep Darius prisoner?

You made these death robots?

And were you aware he tried to k*ll me?

You did what?

I did what had to be done.

You were supposed to get things

up and running.

Not commit m*rder.

Apparently, I gave you too much freedom.

"Too much freedom"?

You mean that you were happy to sit back

while I did all the hard work.

You know what? Forget this.

This is my island.

[beeps]

Party time.

[whirring]

-[growls]

-[gasps]

[whirring]

Take them out.

Execute override nine-one-six.

[whirs]

[robots powering down]

You didn't really think

I'd give you total control, did you?

[grunts, gasps]

-[grunts]

-[yelps, groans]

-I got this, Dad.

-Kenji.

Take him.

[beeps]

[groans]

[mechanic whirring]

[dinosaur growls]

What are you thinking?

I just get you back,

and you're needlessly risking your life

when the BRADs could do the job?

[Ben] Hey, guys?

Mae's not doing so well.

I think she reopened her wounds.

[groans]

I'll get her to the Med Bay

and put Kash

somewhere he can't hurt anyone.

I'll be back soon,

and we can figure out how to get you home.

-I'll come with you.

-Later, son.

You go get cleaned up with your friends.

The investor's suite on level two

is well-stocked.

Feel free to use anything you need.

"Feel free"? Oh, my gosh.

We can walk around like people.

I have so much to tell you.

And I can't wait to hear all of it.

I should have known not to trust you!

This isn't over.

[Kash] You let go of me.

[mechanic whirring]

Everything's gonna be okay, guys.

-[exclaims]

-Whoa.

[Sammy] All that time

and you didn't know this was here?

There were a lot of locked doors.

Still no phones though.

[Ben] Guys!

We get our own rooms.

-[gasps]

-[Sammy giggles]

[gasps, exclaims]

[cackles]

[gasps]

[sighs]

Hey, D. Found these in the bathroom.

But I don't know.

Does this make me look more mature?

What if I shave it off

and I just look like old Kenji?

Well, what's so wrong with that?

My dad wasn't around a lot,

but it's not like I gave him a reason

to take me seriously.

I want things to be different.

Because I am different.

You are.

And shaving that gross, scraggly

spider fuzz won't change that.

-[chuckles]

-[laughs]

[moans]

When Mr. Kon said they had everything,

I did not think he meant everything.

Right?

At least he wasn't lying about that.

You think he's a liar?

No. It's not that.

It just feels like

he isn't 100 percent telling the truth.

But Kenji was so happy to see him.

I, I hate that I don't trust him, but

I get it.

The guy runs Mantah Corp.

[Kenji] I like your hair.

I like your face. So smooth.

Kenji, about your dad

[automatic door opens]

-Everything okay?

-Yeah.

Just getting rid of Kash leaves me

with quite a mess to clean up.

I hope you're all settling in okay.

Why would we have to settle in?

We're going home, right?

About that

After the Jurassic World incident,

the world turned on dinosaurs.

If anyone learns about this island,

well, these dinosaurs,

and our family, all of us,

could be in a lot of trouble.

Look, Kash's way of doing things is over,

and he will pay for what he did to Mae.

[Mr. Kon] I know it's completely unfair

to ask this of you,

but if you can just give me a few days,

I can arrange to get you home

safely but discreetly.

You know, out of the public eye.

If not for me, do it for Kenji.

-Okay.

-I guess.

Yeah. For Kenji.

Oh, thank you so much.

If you need anything,

the BRADs can help you now.

Ready to go, son?

I just think it's a little weird

we can't even call our families.

I know. But if the world really did

turn on dinosaurs, Mr. Kon's right.

This place needs to be a secret

for their sake.

What about our sakes?

I say we ask Mae what she thinks.

Spoons are weird, right?

You're upside down in them

till you're right side up.

[Mae chuckles, blows raspberry]

Are you feeling all right?

Couldn't be better. All fixed.

They gave me some thingy-majiggy

for the pain.

Mm. Yeah, they did.

I think we should hold off

on asking her anything.

[Mae] No.

Don't leave me alone.

This show is too scary.

-[surveillance video muted]

-[machine beeping]

We'll go turn off the feed

so Mae can get some rest.

No, thanks, I'll just have a salad.

[chuckles]

[rattling]

[growling]

Big Eatie's not eating.

[automatic door closes]

[beeps]

That's who you are. The ranch girl.

The name is Sammy Gutierrez.

Don't act like you don't remember

blackmailing my family.

I did what you wanted,

so my family better be okay.

[chuckles]

Okay. Well, sorry.

I have no idea

about your family down on the ranch.

After you "died", Kon iced me out.

I wouldn't be too hopeful though.

He has a way of turning on people.

Is he really that bad?

Maybe.

Maybe I'm just messing with your head.

If you tell us what we wanna know,

I'll see if I can get you out of here.

If you wanna know

what happened to your family,

check the files in Kon's office.

It's right next to mine

but not nearly as swag.

Now, are you gonna free me or what?

Maybe.

Maybe I'm just messing with your head.

[chuckles]

[automatic door closes]

[helicopters whirring]

[mechanic whirring]

And then there was that time

we almost got eaten by a Carnotaurus.

Make that two times. I think?

Now, the Scorpius,

that's one I'll never forget.

Well, actually, two I'll never forget.

[chuckles]

[beeping]

I'm boring you, huh?

What? No, no. Of course not.

I wanna hear all about it.

I just

I have a lot on my plate.

For instance,

how did Kash have all this time

and never get the cameras working?

-So much to do in two days.

-[controller beeps]

Why? What's happening in two days?

Oh, I thought you knew.

The investor presentation.

Wait. Are you

Are you still doing dino fights?

[snoring]

[snores]

-[growls]

-[gasps]

Come on, girl. You have to eat. Eat.

[dinosaur growls]

[growls]

-[thuds]

-[growls]

[yelps]

-[beeps]

-[low growling]

Sad.

You miss Little Eatie.

Kenji, these aren't

your typical investors.

They're the kind of people

you do not mess with.

And they're expecting dinosaur fights,

so that is what I'm going to give them.

But you can't.

-I have to.

-Why?

The Mantah Corp board has no idea

this island exists, okay?

I have to turn a profit

before they find out the money

that I funneled here is missing.

If I don't, we lose everything, son.

But But it's wrong.

Is it?

It's just dinosaurs being dinosaurs.

-I'm not gonna drug them the way Kash did.

-[metallic footsteps]

Besides, didn't you just tell me

about all the times

you had to run for your life from them?

[beeps]

Well, yeah, but

-[beeping]

-Kenji!

-[dinosaur growls]

-[gasps]

[Kenji yelps]

-[Mr. Kon grunts]

-[electric buzzing]

See? Mindless k*lling machines

will fight anyway.

[growling]

[Mr. Kon] I'm just charging admission.

[dinosaurs growling]

[suspenseful music]

[clunks]

[lock clicking]

Hey, Sammy.

[clangs]

There. Gutierrez Ranch.

-Mr. Kon owns it.

-[gasps]

[Brooklynn] Until their debt is paid.

But the ranch has been in my family

for years.

Oh, I knew this guy was no good.

[Mr. Kon] I'm sorry, who's no good?

[both gasp]

Whoever would do this to my family!

You mean clean up Kash's mess

and help your family out?

[Mr. Kon] You are Sammy Gutierrez,

aren't you?

An exclusive contract?

After Jurassic World went under,

your parents had no way

of paying back the bank.

So, yes, I bought their debt.

And I made them

my exclusive meat supplier here.

They have no idea where the meat goes,

only that I order a lot of it.

Oh. Well, that was nice of you.

Your family is fine.

If I knew who you were,

or if you had just asked,

I would have told you as much.

Mr. Kon, you have to understand

After all that we've been through,

trust does not come easily to us.

I would have thought being Kenji's father

would have earned me a bit of trust.

He'd be crushed

if he found out about this.

It's between us. You all seem so close.

I would hate to ruin that.

[Kenji] Hey. What's What's wrong?

Big Eatie won't eat.

She's missing her daughter.

Maybe if we could reunite them,

she'd feel better.

Can you say something to your dad?

About that

Hey. Where were you two?

We were doing some diggin'

Into what Kash did to Sammy's fam.

Luckily, we ran into your dad,

and he told us the good news.

My family's fine, y'all.

In fact, all the meat here

is courtesy of the Gutierrez Ranch.

[chuckling]

That's great, Sammy.

Your dad's been helping them, Kenj.

I, I don't know how to thank him.

Yeah. I mean, my dad's awesome.

Maybe that means he'll listen.

To what?

[breathes deeply]

Uh, the island needs investors.

He's still doing

a big dinosaur fight showcase.

-What?

-He can't do that.

Yeah, he thinks

dinosaurs just fight all the time anyway,

so why not make money on it?

But they're so much more than that.

He just doesn't know them like we do.

But if we can show him

there's another side to them

Maybe he'll change his mind.

If we don't get eaten first.

What exactly is this about, Kenji?

Yesterday, you said that

dinosaurs were mindless beasts

who only know how to fight and k*ll, but

you're wrong, Dad.

And if you give me a chance,

I'll prove it.

And how do you plan to do that?

Just watch.

[panting]

[groans]

[beeps]

[whirring]

[whimpers]

You're sure you can talk to her, right?

Yeah. Like, nine

[stutters]

Seventy. Seventy percent sure.

Oh, man. If I get eaten,

dad will never respect me.

[growls]

Hey, girl. It's me. Remember?

-[beeps]

-[growls]

It's okay. It's okay. You're safe.

What is he doing?

Why are they getting so close to it?

-They're going to free her.

-They're going to what?

-Ugh, I can't just sit here and

-[beeps]

-[whirs]

-[gasps]

Dad, no.

[beeps]

Dad, please!

[gasps]

[growling]

[Darius]

Please calm down. Please calm down.

[beeping]

[growling]

[grunting]

[grunts]

[beeps]

-[grunts]

-[exclaims]

[whimpers, groans]

[growls]

[distant growling]

[growls]

[chains clank]

[growls]

[both pant]

[growls]

-[Darius] That's right.

-[dinosaur growls]

We're bringing her to you,

but you gotta let us free you.

Please. Remember, we're friends.

[growls]

[grunts]

[grunting]

-[gasps]

-[growls]

[panting, grunting]

[soft growl]

[growling]

[laughing]

Dude, you did it.

It worked. Your plan worked.

Couldn't have done it without you.

You talked to a T-Rex.

Dude, a T-Rex listened to you.

She did. I, I did!

[laughs, cheers]

-[Darius] We did it!

-[Ben] Yeah!

[laughter]

Dad.

That is not a mindless predator.

[soft growl]

[Kenji] Just a parent

who really wants to be with her kid.

-[Brooklynn] That was amazing.

-[beeps]

-[dinosaurs growling]

-They're happy.

Mae's research allows us to communicate

with them on a rudimentary level.

I admit, I never thought

I'd see anything like that.

Then don't make them fight.

Please.

I don't want to do that anymore.

[Mr. Kon] You believed in something.

You got others to follow you,

and you wouldn't take no for an answer.

I couldn't be prouder of you, son.

-[Darius] To Kenji.

-[Yaz] To Kenji!

To Kenji.

-[all laughing]

-Yeah.

So, tomorrow, I get to help Dad

with the new presentation.

[Kenji hums]

[Kenji] He thinks I might have

a knack for business.

He's gonna teach me the ropes.

[yawns]

All right, guys.

[grunts]

I'm turning in.

Right.

We all have our own rooms

with our own fluffy beds and pillows

that are all ours.

[Sammy cheers]

[chuckles]

Hm?

I'm really happy for you, Kenj.

I'm glad your dad got to see

the guy that I think is pretty special.

[chuckles softly]

Good night.

Night.

[automatic door opens]

[both gasp]

Sammy?

Couldn't sleep.

After everything,

I'm kind of not used to bunking alone.

Yeah, me neither.

Doesn't feel safe.

Yeah.

-Wanna have a

-[both gasp]

[snoring softly]

[snoring softly]

Sleepover?

-[chuckles]

-[soft snoring]

[Mae] Again,

I hope I didn't say anything untoward

while I was under.

[Mr. Kon] Not at all.

I'm incredibly excited

by your research, Mae.

It's the key to Mantah Corp's future.

When Kash told me

you could talk to dinosaurs,

I thought he'd gone mad.

Maybe he did.

He did try to k*ll me, after all.

Hate to keep bringing it up,

but it did make quite the impression.

I know.

And I can assure you,

he will face severe consequences

if he ever tries that again.

I'm sorry. "Again"?

[robot whirs]

Ready to get to work, partner?

-[gasps]

-[robot whirs]

As I said,

your research changes everything.

But the investors

will be here in two days,

and you can't make the progress I need

without Kash's tech.

So, you two will be working together.

No. Absolutely not.

Why would I ever agree to that?

Because if you don't,

things might not go so well

for all those kids.

[gasps, pants]
