[mellow music plays on radio]
Hey, this song
reminds me of that time we
[music stops]
You wanna play Looks Like?
[Darius] My family
used to play it on road trips.
You look out the window
and say what things "looks like."
Oh, like that bush. It looks like Ben.
And that rock.
[Darius] Totally Bumpy, am I right?
- Or that tree
- [Kenji] Yeah.
When do I turn?
[Darius] Uh Next left.
Your dad's halfway house
is a couple miles down the road.
Hey, family's tough.
[Darius] Especially your dad.
He's gonna push your buttons.
But we gotta find out
why Brooklynn came to see him.
We should strategize.
Oh, how about I go in hot, you go in cold?
You soften him up, then I'll
Not taking family advice
from a kid who hasn't called his mother
in over a month.
How did you know
You think after all she did for me,
taking me in, treating me like a son,
that I wouldn't call her every week?
Maybe you go in hot.
[atmospheric music plays]
Let's go.
[music intensifies]
[Yaz] You've reached Yasmina.
I guess this is where I tell you
to leave a message.
- [beep]
- [Sammy] Hey Yaz!
So it's me again. Sammy.
I'm just calling to make sure
you're good, and home.
Give me a call back
so I know you're alive. [laughs]
Just kidding.
[Sammy] But seriously,
call me back so I know you're alive.
- Okay, love you, bye!
- [phone beeps]
So you're just gonna use that phone
no matter what I say, huh?
Thought we'd established that.
Don't you dare throw my phone
out the window, Benjamin.
Oh yeah. Darius warned me.
Even if I point out
that anyone could be listening?
I'll take my chances.
[rock music playing over sound system]
I'm hungry too, but really?
You wanna stop here for food?
This is the only place for miles,
and so help me if you try to serve me
one more carob anything.
Sorry. All out of Twibblers.
Yeah. Darius told me
about the Twibblers too.
[Sammy] "Now featuring real Stiggies?"
Think that's true?
Anything's possible nowadays.
Then again, they could be
Komodo dragons in bald caps.
[balloon creaking]
[giggling]
[gasps]
Huh?
Wow. That takes me back.
[chuckles]
I wonder if it pulls to the right.
I'm getting motion sick
just looking at it.
[static]
[majestic music plays]
Welcome one, welcome all,
to King Dino's Prehistoric Playland!
Grab your loved ones
and take your heart meds,
'cause we're about to take a wild ride
straight into the age of prehistory.
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
Fear not,
'cause I, Bobby Nublar,
the King Dino himself,
will be your guide.
Y'all wanna see some dinos? [grunts]
[screeching]
- [dinosaur grunting]
- [chuckles awkwardly, grunts]
[shrieks, groans sadly]
[Bobby] Be warned.
These dinos might look little,
but their noggins pack a bigger punch
than a bucking bronco!
Watch out now, everybody.
Only a trained professional
such as myself can handle 'em.
- Hey!
- Stay back, li'l lady!
These dino dangers
are just itching to break free.
They're not itching to go anywhere.
Look how exhausted they are.
[breathing heavily]
How can you possibly think
it's okay to keep them like this?
Because it's good for business.
Now if you'll excuse me,
I got a pony show to put on.
Now then, who dares risk petting
one of these demon dinos?
- Free the dinos?
- [Bobby] Only $5!
Free the dinos.
[stirring music plays]
- [music fades]
- [birdsong]
[man] Mr. Kon, you've got guests.
You can pick up your phone on the way out.
Thank you, Stevens.
You look healthy.
Did you have Brooklynn killed?
[dramatic music plays]
Right this way, ladies, and I'll be happy
to show you our newest attraction.
Quick.
- Hold that pose.
- [giggling]
Oh my gosh.
- [groaning sadly]
- [Bobby] Say "King Dino!"
- [emotional music plays]
- [woman] King Dino! [giggling]
I can get us in, no problem.
I got a lockpick in my van.
Of course you do.
[Bobby] I reckon I can rustle up
a couple from the back.
Give me two shakes to check.
- [tense music plays]
- [Bobby] Would you lookie here.
You're in luck.
You're getting the last two.
Free autograph
with the purchase of a soft drink.
Okay. You stay here
and keep an eye on the Stiggies.
I'll grab the lockpick.
Hmm.
Huh?
[gasps]
Don't worry.
We'll get you all out of here real quick.
[growling sadly]
[gasps]
[sighs] There you are.
I was getting worried.
Worried about what?
That I'd double-cross you?
What?
Mm, no.
You know, when you think about it,
maybe you should be worried about me.
I mean, I could have gone back
to my old Mantah Corp spying days,
sneaking around,
stealing corporate secrets.
Huh?
"Possible suspect, Sammy Gutierrez?!"
Oh
[Ben sighs] Sammy
I didn't mean
I was just being extra cautious.
I just had to explore
all possibilities, you know?
Yeah. I get it, I guess.
You had to consider if the four of us
were involved in this thing,
just in case.
Right.
Yep.
You did look into the others too, right?
- [dinosaurs grunt]
- Not just me?
Um, does it really matter?
What?
You're the only one
I couldn't rule out right away.
Like you said, you did spy before.
That was a long time ago.
I know, I know. I'm sorry.
But I promise, I do trust you.
- Now.
- Now?!
[shrieks]
- Sammy, that's not what I meant. [yells]
- [growls, roars]
[yells]
- [shrieking]
- [Sammy] Calm down.
[Sammy] Calm down!
- [shrieking]
- [Sammy] I'm sorry.
- [Bobby] Oh, you'll definitely be sorry.
- [tense music plays]
I was just as shocked to hear about
Brooklynn's death as you were, son.
I doubt that.
But you do know I've been at
this halfway house for nearly a year, yes?
Because you don't live far from here,
and yet this is
the first time you're visiting.
Wait, how do you know where I live?
Then, then of course, I was
in prison for five years before that.
So needless to say,
I couldn't have had anything
to do with your girlfriend's death.
How do you explain her dying
within days of coming to see you?
[Kenji] Yeah.
- You're not the only one who knows things.
- [Darius] Why did she come see you?
Did she say anything that might help us
work out why she was out there that night?
This is family business.
- What? No, you
- Fine.
[intriguing music plays]
[sighs]
- Are you gonna say anything?
- One moment, son. This is important.
I've got better things to do than
stand here and watch you play in the dirt.
I found a lot of peace in the dirt.
[chuckles awkwardly]
Beautiful, uh, beautiful garden you've
Okay. Good talking.
[Daniel] I've been growing these
since I got here.
Who would have thought
your old man would have a green thumb.
You still haven't answered our questions.
Nurturing these hasn't been easy.
They don't grow naturally here,
so it really takes some effort.
[speaking Japanese]
Don't do the Japanese thing.
You know I don't speak it.
- [emotional music plays]
- [sighs]
All those tutors, and you still
refuse to take pride in our language.
I am proud.
Just never had
a father around to practice with.
Because I was busy building a legacy.
For you.
Yeah.
[Kenji] Some legacy.
[Daniel] This? [scoffs]
This isn't what the Kon name
will be remembered for.
I've got some things in motion
that will bring honor back to our name,
our family.
And I want you to be a part of it.
[tense music plays]
No! No, not this again.
I already told you,
I don't want anything
to do with your hidden money,
or your business, or your legacy.
I'm out.
I am trying to make peace with you.
You are my son, despite everything.
You want this to be business? Fine.
I'm willing to negotiate.
When you and your friends
took down Mantah Corp,
my face was all over the news.
Disgraced CEO brought down
by the famous Nublar Six.
Makes it hard to find investors.
Yeah okay, I'll get my violin.
My face might be disgraced,
but yours? [chuckles]
[Daniel] Yours is
the face of a survivor, a hero.
A face that people can trust.
- That they can invest in.
- [stirring music plays]
I'll tell you
everything I know about Brooklynn,
if you join my new company as CEO.
[dramatic music plays]
Hey, what do you two think you're doing?
[chuckles] Ben!
I told you this wasn't the ladies' room.
[yells]
- [grunting]
- You little
[tense music plays]
- [shrieks]
- [exclaims]

- [rock music plays]
- [dinosaurs shrieking]
- [crashing]
- [Bobby exclaims]

- [dinosaur shrieks]

[exclaiming]
[crashing]
[exclaims]
- [crashing]
- [shrieking]
- Come on!
- [exclaims]
[grunting]
Hands off my friend.
[grunts]
[grunting]
[yells]
[shrieking]
You gotta teach me some of those moves.
[grunts] Go on. Get, get!
[shrieks]
[exclaims]
[toys squeak]
[panting, grunting]
[chuckles] Looks like Bobby's
gonna need to find another attraction.
Sammy?
- [shrieks]
- Go! Move, move, move!
[whooping, cheering]
- [both laughing]
- [Ben] Ah, score!
- I got you covered.
- You totally saved my butt back there.
"Saving People's Butts,
the Sammy Gutierrez Story."
You know, Sammy,
your name's also on my list
of loyal and amazing friends.
Oh yeah?
Totally. It goes Bumpy,
corn dogs, then you.
No wait, Bumpy,
corn dogs, my van, then you.
[laughs]
[toys squeaking]
[breathing heavily]
- [mysterious music plays]
- [phone beeps]
- We've got a problem.
- [music intensifies]
- So, how's it going
- [yells]
Everything always has to be
like a-a-a transaction with him.
Done by his rules,
on his terms, never on mine!
Like, I [yells]
Yeah, yeah.
Who does that? He's just so
[grunts]
[imitates yell]
Yes! Yes, exactly!
Really? An ultimatum?
[imitating Daniel]
You can either sell your soul to me,
or never know
what was going on with Brooklynn.
[sighs]
What would you do?
Me?
Well, normally I'd say it's good
to meet parents in the middle sometimes.
But I just don't want you to have
to sacrifice the man you're becoming
just to make peace
with a guy who's never treated you right.
[soft music plays]
Yeah, but if we wanna find out
why Brooklynn was here
[exhales]
I, I don't see how I can say no.
You've returned.
I take that to mean you agree to my terms?
Obviously becoming CEO of whatever
shady business you're about to start
is my only option.
Excellent.
Don't worry, I'll be the one doing
the heavy lifting and running things.
You can just give
a few speeches a year to our shareholders,
do some fluff pieces about
Rock-climbing, is it? It'll be easy.
I know how you like things easy.
Easy? What part of this is easy?
The part where you left me to die
on an island full of dinosaurs?
Or maybe forcing me to become your puppet
just so I can know the truth?
That sounds easy?
You know what? No. I'm not gonna do it.
I won't let you control me anymore.
We'll find out about Brooklynn
without you.
I'm done.
You're not serious.
Keep your secrets, all right?
Keep your schemes and your ultimatums.
I don't need them, and I don't need you.
- Goodbye, Dad.
- [soft music plays]
Son, wait!
I'll
I'll tell you about Brooklynn.
Just stay?
A little longer?
[clears throat]
She came to see me about dinosaurs
being where they shouldn't, illegally.
Buying, selling, the like.
Given my past,
she thought I had something to do with it.
I didn't.
So, what did you tell her?
It wasn't so much
what I told her as what she told me.
That she wanted to get into the game.
I believe her exact words were
"I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty."
Brooklynn would never say that.
Look, son.
When she came here,
there was something about her
that was different, almost
dangerous.
I just didn't think she'd be
foolish enough to get herself killed.
Listen.
I don't hear anything.
Exactly.
We have to go.
