[roars, growls]

[brakes squeal]

[echoing roar]

[atmospheric music plays]

[Ben] Okay, listen up.

Good day. There's no time to waste,
so I'll dive right in.

Wait. Uh, where's Sammy?

- [Smoothie chirruping]
- Chilling in Gia's room?

"Chilling" may be too strong.
She's just, sort of...

occupying space at room temperature.

What he said.

Oh, I thought this was
a mandatory meeting. [chuckles]

It is. But--

Gia and I brought her up to speed
on everything already.

Oh.

So, what's this top secret plan
you two have been cooking up?

Oh. I thought you'd never ask!

[Ben] Multiple missions
require multiple plans.

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

So, our first mission is Operation Malta.

[chirrups]

[Ben] Based on our intel,
that's where Brooklynn is.

Therefore, the Nublar Three,

comprised of myself, Yaz, and Darius,

will drive to the southern tip of Italy,

and board a ferry to Malta
to begin phase two of the operation.

Phase two?

[Ben] Finding Brooklynn.

Gia and I gamed out
all phase two contingencies.

What if she's not there?

What if she's there
but she's been brainwashed?

What if she's a sleeper agent and she--

Ben? Maybe wait until you're on the road
for all 30 contingencies.

Right. The second mission
is Operation Stateside.

The Nublar Two,
also known as Sammy and Kenji,

will fly back to America with Smoothie.

[Ben imitates plane landing]

So he can be with his real mama, Bumpy.

We bought plane tickets for you and Sammy.
You leave the day after tomorrow.

Gia's neighbor
is loaning us three his truck.

It's a daylong drive to the ferry,
so we should leave ASAP.

Look alive, people!
Wheels up in 30 for the Nublar Three.

[soft music plays]

These past few days with you
have meant the world to me.

I don't know
what I'm gonna do without you.

[chirrups]

You can bet your tiny little butt
I'm gonna miss you.

[chirrups]

[emotional music plays]

Smoothie's not the only one
I'm gonna miss.

I made something for you.

[Ben gasps]

You knit me another beanie?

You're the best girlfriend ever.

[sighs, speaks Italian]

[chirrups]

[gasping]

[Nonna clears throat]

[speaking Italian]

Grazie mille, Nonna.

[chuckles, speaks Italian]

Did you hear that?
She didn't use the plural.

She meant me specifically!

I knew she'd love you
once she got to know you.

[creaking]

Does Brooklynn even want to talk to me
about what happened?

I mean, I want her to know I don't expect
anything from her, because I...

But I don't want to trigger her
by bringing it up.

Or make everything worse.

Dude, just keep it simple,
follow her lead.

You'll be great.

Still no Sammy?

Uh...

Right. Follow her lead.

Kenji... [inhales]

Please tell Sammy that I wish her well,
and hope that she has safe travels.

Will do.

[emotional music plays]

[sighs]

I hope you find Brooklynn. Stay safe.

You too.

Take good care of the Smoothster.

- [chirrups]
- Give my love to Bumpy.

Done and done.

[engine starts]

Hey, Yaz. Let's go.

"I'll sit in the freezing back."
"No, I insist."

[Darius] "Thanks, Darius."

"You're such a good friend, Darius."

[sighs]

You ready?

[speaking Italian]

Until we meet again.

- See ya!
- Bye.

[Ben] Al presto!

- [growling]
- [tense music plays]

[roaring]

[music intensifies]

[growling, roaring continues]

As you can see, these Atrociraptors
have been trained to redirect

their natural predator drive.

[Brooklynn] They want to k*ll me
right now, but they won't.

Now, once a target is marked,
they lock onto it like guided missiles.

[suspenseful music plays]

[roaring]

[Brooklynn] But these raptors are smart.

They've been trained not to attack
until given the final command.

[roaring]

[atmospheric music plays]

[snarls]

[sniffing, growling]

[laser buzzes]

[phone buzzing]

What?

[sighs]

Sorry, Ben.
No way I'm meeting up with you.

[suspenseful music plays]

[shrieks]

Oh my-- You scared me to death!

Davi! What are you doing here?

I wasn't looking for you,
if that's what you think.

I'm not in the habit of
chasing after people who ghost me.

I had a hunch there might be
something shady going on down here,

but still,

I can't believe Biosyn
repurposed these catacombs

for something even creepier
than what they were originally used for.

Field trip's over. You need to leave. Now.

- [distant screeching]
- [gasps] What was that?

- [growling]
- Davi!

[growling]

Yikes.

You're investigating
whoever's selling them!

Blink once if I'm right.

I've heard about a mysterious broker,
some Biosyn associate who--

We're not having this conversation.

Off the record, then.

What's your endgame?
Are you gonna sabotage the sale?

Livestream the baddies
and expose them to the world?

You know, classic Brooklynn?

That's none of your business.
If you're as smart as you think you are,

you'll forget all about this story
and go back to your fashion beat.

Nice try, but that's not gonna happen.

I'm good at this. And I'm gonna prove it.

You have no idea
how much danger you're in.

No guts, no glory.

A story this big
only comes along once in a lifetime.

And it goes way beyond dinosaur smuggling.

I'm pretty sure Biosyn's trying to disrupt
the global food supply

by using genetically engineered locusts.

I know. I've been collecting
photos and videos for months.

Enough to expose the biggest
dinosaur smugglers in the world.

- Whoa.
- Hey!

Look at all this. There's so much!

Yeah, I know. Now give it back.

You made a copy of all this, right?

- Brooklynn...
- [Brooklynn] Give it back!

- I don't need your help.
- You need a backup!

I can do it right now, just--

- [footsteps echoing]
- [suspenseful music plays]

- Hurry up!
- What are you doing?

Don't make any sudden movements.

[Soyona] The potential buyers
are anxious to see if I can deliver

on what I've promised.

[growls]

Let me see the video you made.

[Soyona] You did make the video, yes?

- [snarls]
- [Brooklynn] Of course I did.

But I wanted to make it really sing,
you know?

Trim it down, put on the finishing touches
before I show it to you.

You never get a second chance
to make a first impression.

[growling]

[Brooklynn] And we want these buyers
to fall in love with these Atrociraptors.

Right?

That's the idea, but time is a factor.

I have other assets in transit
as we speak,

and I need to locate the Handler
so she can resolve a different matter.

The Handler?

I want to give her
a chance to redeem herself

and prove her loyalty.

[Brooklynn] Maybe I can help instead.

I appreciate the enthusiasm,
but I rather doubt that.

The Handler's skillset

is much better suited

for what I have in mind.

- [roars]
- [gulps]

- Brooklynn.
- Hmm?

I gave you a simple task to complete.
Have you made the video or not?

Of course. Got it right here.

[Brooklynn] As you can see,

these Atrociraptors have been trained
to redirect their natural predator drive.

They want to k*ll me right now,
but they won't.

Excellent work.
Upload it to my secure server for viewing.

- [sighs]
- [Soyona] Brooklynn.

[suspenseful music plays]

We make a good team, don't we?

[music intensifies]

[gasping, exclaiming]

How could you put me in there?

- Davi, I--
- You're helping her sell k*ller dinosaurs?

Who are you?

For your information,

I'm collecting evidence to put her in jail
for the rest of her life.

That might be what
you've convinced yourself you're doing,

but does the end really justify the means?

You have no idea
what you're talking about.

- [laser buzzes]
- [growling]

- [gasping]
- [tense music plays]

[gasps]

[growling]

If selling your soul
is what it takes to be like you,

that's not a price I'm willing to pay.

[gasping]

- [chittering]
- [gasps]

- Back off.
- [roars]

[atmospheric music plays]

- [music crescendos]
- [plane passing by]

[suspenseful music plays]

[buzzing]

- [Darius] Is it Brooklynn?
- Did she reply?

It's just a notification.

Apparently, my burner phone wants to share
my location with the manufacturer.

Nice try, Big Phone.

We can't just sit here all day
waiting for her to show up.

Then we gotta proceed
with phase two of the mission.

Head into the catacombs? The lady at the
desk said they're closed to the public.

We know Brooklynn's been down there,

and if she's not the public,
then neither are we.

[groaning, straining]

Are we even sure this is the way in?

Gia and I mapped all possible
catacomb entrances before we left.

[Darius] So this
might not get us in there?

Wait! I think I got it.

[exclaiming]

[Ben] Ow!

[gasps] Hide.

[intriguing music plays]

- [muffled shrieking]
- [beeping]

[suspenseful music plays]

[distant shouting, roaring]

[music intensifies]

[shrieking]

[caws]

[shouting, whooping]

- [dinosaur shrieks]
- [laughs]

Okay...

Not the catacombs.

This is like the DPW warehouse.

But worse. Much worse.

- [banging]
- [gasps]

- [banging
- [growling]

[shrieking]

[roaring, shrieking]

[atmospheric music plays]

We have to get outta here.

[gasps]

Yeah. Let's go.

- Darius, wait!
- [music intensifies]

[distant roaring]

[suspenseful music plays]

[distant roaring continues]

[whistles]

[snarling]

[screeches]

[whistles]

[suspenseful music continues]

[shrieks]

[chittering]

[deep lowing]

[whistles]

[music crescendos]

[atmospheric music plays]

- [door opens]
- [Soyona] Ah.

There you are.
The video worked like a charm.

We have a buyer in Riyadh.

They were so eager, I was able
to pawn Red off onto them as well.

I thought you liked Red.

Brooklynn. It's a dinosaur.
I can always get another one.

The transfer is tomorrow. Well done.

Who's the buyer? Did they say
what they want the raptors for?

Well, I assume they have
a need for what the raptors excel at.

And since they're k*lling machines...

Don't sell them.

Pardon?

Whatever this buyer
is willing to pay today,

another buyer will pay
double or triple tomorrow.

The longer we hold out,
the higher the price will go.

I've already agreed to the terms.

Given that Dodgson
has yet to compensate me

for the Professor or the DNA samples,

it's a handsome sum
that can do us a lot of good.

Thank you for helping me
expedite the sale.

You've made my life easier
in so many ways.

Don't mention it.

It deserves mentioning, and rewarding.

I'd like to do something nice for you
as a token of my appreciation.

No need.

- You've already been so generous--
- Someone's been watching you.

- A certain...
- [tense music plays]

would-be journalist.

But don't worry.
He won't be bothering you anymore.

What do you mean?

That's what I needed the Handler for.

I've tasked her with
eliminating your nosy little shadow.

You're welcome.

I thought elimination was too obvious.
Shouldn't we just intimidate him?

[scoffs] Different circumstances.
He's not a public figure,

just a nobody trying to use us
and our work to become somebody.

It's lazy, really.

Smart. Always looking out for me.

Indeed.

Neither of us can afford to have anyone
prying into our business, now, can we?

[tense music continues]

[music crescendos]

- Darius!
- [panting]

Are you okay?

That place...

The DPW warehouse was bad, but...

They're fighting dinosaurs,
exploiting them, t-treating them like--

Every time we stop one horrible thing,
another ten pop up.

Brooklynn,

she's in deep with these people.

But that's why we have to find her.
Get her out of here and--

Kinda hard
when she ignores our calls and texts.

Look, I wanna find her too,
protect her if we can, but,

if there's one thing
I know about Brooklynn,

it's that she has to do things her way.

For better or for worse.

Look, if we really wanna help,

we can't make this
all about what we think is best for her.

That place...

We're in her world now,
and we need to follow her lead.

She knows where to find us.
She'll come when she's ready.

So, your plan is to wait around
and do nothing?

She'll find us when she's ready.

[soft music plays]

- But I still think we need a--
