[panting continues]

[shrieks]

Oh, really spoiled you

with all those berries, huh?

Don't worry. She'll be back soon.

-[panting]

-Huh?

-[whimpers]

-[grunts]

[Ben] You okay, Fadoula?

[laughing]

Seriously. You okay?

I forgot how good it feels to run.

I mean, really run.

For fun, and not

because something is chasing us.

Can't say I can relate,

but I'm glad you had a good time.

[chuckles]

Better than good.

Being out there gave me

the space to think.

I'm gonna do it, Ben.

I'm gonna tell Sammy how I feel.

[gasps]

Yes! Yes! Yes! Oh, I'm so happy for you.

How? When?

No idea. I'll just

I'll do it when the time is right,

you know?

-[distant grunting]

-Well, how about now?

[Sammy grunting]

[sighs]

-[dinosaur roaring]

-[gasps]

That's right, ladies, supper's on.

[exhales deeply]

-Hey, Sammy?

-[gasps softly]

[softly]

Oh, hi.

-[dinosaur roars]

-[gasps]

[snarling]

[both gasp]

[roars]

[chuckles]

Looks like Little Eatie needs to work

on her table manners.

Uh, what do you mean?

I put that there on purpose.

[laughs]

Hey, Sammy

[Ben] Oh, hey, Brooklynn and Darius.

Uh, fancy seeing you here.

At the meet-up spot?

Yeah, who saw that coming?

Hey, guys.

Any luck?

Yup. I managed to set up a drone

to patrol the perimeter of the island.

Now we'll get an alert

as soon as the Kons return.

Nice.

And we made sure

all the dinos had something to eat,

so they won't go after each other.

We did that. I don't mean to brag.

Except I do, because it's beautiful,

and we should be proud.

You're right.

Not that there's anyone around

to appreciate it.

Time to change that.

[beeps]

Whoever's watching this,

get ready to be amazed by these guys.

Some of the most incredible people

I have ever met.

Are you recording us?

Yeah. Because someone needs to know

that we survived Nublar.

And that we're here now.

And that we protected dinosaurs

from big game hunters and

-A horrible hybrid.

-[chuckles]

Two horrible hybrids.

Technically, three horrible hybrids.

A lunatic that wanted

to force dinosaurs to fight.

And we even got carnivores

to play nice with herbivores.

So wave to the camera, people.

You're kind of a big deal.

Don't you wanna be in the shot?

Nah. That doesn't feel like "me" anymore.

I guess we've all changed a lot

since we first got to camp.

Oh, yeah.

If I told the old you

that you'd survive in the jungle,

and become best friends

with an ankylosaurus

I'd probably have a heart attack.

Yeah. And I didn't want

to talk to anyone. Like, at all.

Except for me.

Well, really, I kept talking to you,

and eventually, you had to respond.

[all laughing]

Meanwhile, Kenji never stopped talking.

[beeps]

[somber music]

So, uh, I've been thinking.

We've done everything we can

to prepare for when they come back,

but why are we waiting for them

to act first?

[Darius] We're the ones

with the upper hand.

Even if he knows we got out,

Daniel has no idea Brooklynn

shut the drones and the BRADs down,

except the one Sammy ran into.

Or that we moved most of the dinos

to the forest biome.

Yeah, he's totally underestimating us.

A big mistake.

I'm guessing you have a genius plan

to take him by surprise?

Yeah. We trap them in here

as soon as they land,

take their drone plane,

go to the mainland, and get help.

It's a good plan.

We just gotta figure out

how to get the doors to stay shut.

It could work.

And if it does, we've trapped Kenji.

We don't have a choice.

Besides, he locked us up first.

I guess it's only fair.

You're right. It's what we have to do.

-[beeps]

-[whirs]

[action music]

Well, I can get them to close,

but not automatically.

Well, option A, you show us how.

Option B,

can't we just short out the console?

Sammy?

-Boo!

-Aah!

[Sammy laughs]

Couldn't see me, right? Good.

Then neither will Mr. Kon.

[chuckles]

You little

[gasps]

[Yaz] Sammy.

[gasps]

Guys, if you're testing the doors,

a little warning would be nice.

That wasn't us.

-[rumbling]

-[alarm blaring]

What's going on?

Sammy.

[grunts]

Well, can you open it?

I I'm trying,

the whole system's malfunctioning.

[grunting]

[both grunt]

Thanks.

[rumbling]

[thrilling music]

[static]

[automated voice] Geothermal energy core.

Critical malfunction.

Do y'all think these earthquakes

are what's making the core malfunction?

The core gets its power

by drilling down into the earth,

but if that drill is near a fault line,

it could be causing the earthquakes.

[Ben] Great. Any ideas how to fix it?

[Darius] Nope. But we gotta do something,

because

[automated voice] Geothermal energy core.

Critical malfunction.

We can't listen to that forever.

Remember, that BRAD-X is still down there.

And that nothosaurus.

At least that alarm'll make it harder

for them to hear us?

[Ben] Flip side.

It'll also make it harder for us

to hear them.

[grunts]

-[alarm blaring in distance]

-[footsteps]

Keep an eye on the walkway and the water.

-Hey, Yaz?

-Yeah?

Do you

smell that?

[groans]

I forgot how much it stinks down here.

[all coughing]

Is it just me,

or does it smell worse than before?

Don't know, but

[coughs]

Don't breathe through your mouth either,

or you'll taste it.

[laughs]

[Yaz] Ugh! So gross.

[eerie music]

We're almost there.

-[electricity crackles]

-[all yelp]

-[beeping]

-[sighs]

-We're okay.

-[device beeps]

Look.

[Sammy] What happened to it?

I'm guessing it lost a fight

with the nothosaurus.

-[gasps]

-[rumbling]

-[alarm blaring]

-[electricity crackles]

[alarm blaring]

[hissing]

[alarm blaring continues]

-[clanks]

-[Sammy grunts]

[gas hissing]

[blaring stops]

[all exhales deeply]

The drill was out of alignment.

The whole core is overheating.

-[metal clattering]

-[distant growling]

[snarling]

[metal creaking]

-[growling]

-Aah!

-[clatters]

-[yelps]

[gasps]

[growling]

[panting]

It's the gas. Don't go near it.

[creaking, hissing]

-[all gasp]

-[thrilling music]

It's a by-product of the energy core.

Could be poisonous.

Even worse, the core is overheating.

If the pressure builds up enough,

the whole thing could blow.

So then it's lights out

all over the island?

More like there wouldn't be

an island, or us.

If I could find a way to breathe in there,

I can try to fix it from the console.

Okay. To stop the gas,

we have to tape up that pipe.

I'm pretty sure there's some

in the med bay.

But we can't just leave

the nothosaurus here to die. Right?

[all grunt]

Look at us.

We didn't even argue about whether or not

to save a dinosaur that tried to eat us.

Yeah. What is wrong with us?

[beeps]

Phew.

It won't last forever,

but this might stop that gas leak.

You're gonna need some backup.

You guys okay to take her

to the swamp biome without us?

-Yeah. But why not the forest?

-She spent her life down in the tunnels

so I don't think she's socialized enough

for that yet.

What about you guys?

If that gas did this to a nothosaurus

Maybe this'll help.

Were there more of these?

Yeah. Be careful.

-When are we not?

-You too.

Don't worry. We got this.

The dynamic trio.

I know it's not a thing, but it should be.

-[gas hissing]

-[tense music]

I got the leak, you try to cool the core.

Ready?

Every 30 seconds, we get out of the gas

and meet back here, just to be safe.

-As soon as we hear this.

-[beeps]

[ringing]

[both inhale deeply]

[hissing]

[hissing stops]

[beeps]

[buzzes]

-[beeps]

-[buzzes]

[beeps]

[trills]

[machine powering down]

-[alarm ringing]

-[hisses]

[groans]

[panting]

I ran out of air. But I think

Brooklynn?

-[ringing continues]

-[ominous music]

No.

[clanging in distance]

[calm music]

[coughs]

[mouthing]

Hey, Sammy?

Yeah?

I'm not sure how you're gonna feel

and if you don't feel the same,

it's totally cool.

But I've been trying

to tell you something all day,

just waiting for the perfect moment,

but there are no perfect moments,

and even though I probably still smell

like the tunnel

and it looks like you have

nothosaurus drool in your hair

and Ben is standing right there.

I can't wait another minute

to tell you how I feel.

-It has to be now.

-What has to be now?

Sammy, I like you, like, a lot.

Like, a lot. A lot. And

[gasps]

-Look out!

-[roars]

Ben!

[thuds]

-[snarls]

-[Ben yelps]

[snarling]

-[Sammy whimpers]

-[Ben gasps]

[tense music]

-Look out!

-[yelps]

[all groan]

-[roaring]

-[both scream]

[gasps]

[whimpers]

Yaz!

[grunts]

Hold on!

-[Yaz pants]

-[yelling]

-[Yaz] Ben!

-Right.

[yelling]

[all clamoring]

-[all yelling]

-[roaring]

-[grunts]

-[dinosaur chirping]

[chirps]

-[growling]

-[both yelp]

-[snarls]

-[yelps]

-[bones crunching]

-[all gasp]

Run.

[dinosaur growls]

[alarm ringing]

Brooklynn!

[coughing]

[suspenseful music]

[alarm ringing]

Brooklynn.

[grunting]

[coughing]

[Darius grunting]

[Darius coughing]

[Darius panting]

[grunts]

[alarm ringing]

[panting]

[Darius] Brooklynn. Brooklynn.

Wake up. Come on.

[coughing]

[exhales in relief]

What happened?

-Are you okay?

-Oh. My head.

You pulled me out.

Once again, you saved the day.

[sighs]

[device beeps]

Oh, yes. Still recording.

Totally captured you being a hero.

I don't feel like a hero.

[mellow music]

What is it? You can talk to me, remember?

I feel like a jerk who's planning to trap

his ex-best friend

the minute he sets foot on this island.

-I'm no better than he is.

-It's not the same.

Really? How?

Trust me, Kenji is the one

who lost his way. Not you.

What if I'm just changing?

All the "life or death" situations,

the choices between this bad thing

or that even worse thing,

it's turning me into someone I don't know.

Someone I might not like.

You know why we all look to you?

Because your light burns bright,

Darius Bowman.

No amount of terrible choices

can put it out.

And I'll follow you anywhere.

You sure about that?

Yep. Now, come on.

The others are probably waiting for us.

[all panting]

-We made it.

-Whoo!

All I want now is a cool shower.

[chuckling]

But first, Yaz, you were trying

to tell me something before.

-What?

-Earlier.

In the lift,

before the nothosaurus went all crazy.

It seemed super important.

[sighs]

It was.

[Ben yelps]

The truth is, Sammy, I've fallen for you.

Like, hard.

Real hard.

[sighs]

I know. I heard you earlier.

I just wanted to hear you say it again,

because I've been wanting

to hear you say that

since I don't even know when.

[romantic music]

-Oh, yes.

-[Brooklynn] Yes, what?

Nothing, maybe we should go.

[gasps]

[Brooklynn screams]

[all cheering]

You two are finally official!

You know, I tried to give you a moment,

but these two are nosey.

[chuckling]

And you said

there were no perfect moments.

I had no idea.

-[device blares]

-[gasps softly]

Guys, it's the perimeter drone.

They're here.

[all gasp]

[Darius] What is that?

It's not the drone plane, that's for sure.

Does anyone know how to drive a boat?

-That was kinda Kenji's thing.

-Look.

[Ben] They're not alone.

[truck beeping]

[ominous music]

[truck hisses]

[dinosaurs growling]

They're really not alone.

-[dinosaur snarls]

-[gasps]

[device whirs]

-[Sammy] Is that Toro?

-[Darius] Yeah.

And Kenji's controlling him.

[device whirs]

[dinosaur groans]

[gasps]

I can't believe him. What do we do now?

We stop them. That hasn't changed.

Where's Ben?

[device whirs]
