Aw, crud.
Wait.
- Now!
- Run!
- What the...
Go, go, go!
- I left the keys in the cabin. - Are you kidding me?
My van's just down that way.
Put it in neutral, we can roll there.
Whoa!
Three, two, one...
Now!
Come on!
Hang on.
Ben!
I'm trying! This wasn't on the driver's test.
There are way easier ways to get food.
I think we lost 'em.
What?
It, it still doesn't prove we're being hunted.
- Are you kidding me? - I don't know.
- It just seems like a really big leap. - Darius, Darius, Darius...
Those raptors could have been attracted to the lights or... something.
- Except... - What?
The raptors...
They looked like Atrociraptors.
That makes no sense. I don't think any were released from the Lockwood Estate.
See? [exhales] Even more proof.
I wouldn't call that proof.
So you think it was a coincidence
they showed up at your door the exact same night I did?
Well, maybe.
Was it also a coincidence the bells and cans in your alarm fence were cut down?
Okay, that was weird.
I'm telling you, someone is after us.
But why? Who would even want to do that?
I don't know for sure, but I've got some theories.
Check 'em out if you want. They're in the back.
Man, Ben. This is well stocked.
Like stepping inside your old dork pouch.
"Mantah Corp secret underwater laboratory"?
"Carnivorous locusts"?
What the...
Ugh.
Ew, ew, ew!
Okay, first of all, real talk. Are you eating food out of a boot?
- If you are, we need to talk about that.
And second, "Big Shaving Cream behind it all"?
What the heck are these?
They're theories.
Some are from that website, and some are my own.
At this point, we can't rule out any possibilities.
But right now, it doesn't matter who is hunting us.
What matters is that they are.
- Hypothetically. - But we can't take that chance.
The messages I told you about from Dark Jurassic?
Whoever sent them threatened all of us.
Fine. I'll call Sammy.
Wha--
Phones are traceable. They're not safe.
You could have turned it off.
Well, phones are still traceable when they're turned off.
I think. Right?
No.
Huh. I could have sworn.
I guess we could have looked that up, but...
Not anymore...
Actually, it's pretty cold.
Just gonna... roll this up.
How exactly do you plan to warn everyone if we don't have phones, hmm?
You learn telepathy on that website?
No. Back there.
Care package from Sammy. Return address is right on the front.
She'll know where everyone is.
So, we're going to Texas?
Yee-haw.
Hello?
Look out the window.
- Who is this?
'Sup, dork.
Brooklynn? Ow.
Are you okay?
Oh yeah, I-I'm fine. Just the blinds.
They clipped my nose.
Oh no, Ben.
And here it is. My favorite spot on campus.
Whoa.
Okay, at first, I was like, ugh.
But this view!
Uh, yeah.
College is great,
but sometimes I gotta get outside just to feel like I can breathe.
Weird how it can be so hard to feel normal,
now that everything is so... normal.
See those Pteranodons up there?
Uh-huh.
One of them grabbed a freshman's backpack.
No way.
She told her professor a dinosaur ate her homework.
What?
That's really funny.
Well, not to her. She failed her assignment.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. No, I'm sorry, that's really sad.
That's sad.
The point is, I don't know if there's such a thing as normal anymore.
Yeah.
Anyway, how's everything with you? Any cool stories you're working on?
Wrongs to be righted? Buried truths to be uncovered?
Trying.
It is hard out there
for a reformed "social media influencer turned aspiring investigative journalist."
- What about that website I showed you? - OMG. Dark Jurassic? Yes. Amazing.
Isn't it?
I mean, it's hard to take it too seriously when the first post on the homepage is
"What if the Nublar Six actually died on the island
and Doctor Wu cloned and replaced them."
Yeah.
There's definitely some pretty out-there stuff on there,
but every so often there's something that seems, I don't know...
Real?
Real.
Yeah, like the clone thing.
Sorry. I forgot how much running from dinos can take it outta you.
Oh, pull off here. I've had to go to the bathroom since before we left.
Dude, did you hear me?
What's going on?
- We're being followed.
We lost those raptors hours ago.
- We don't even know-- Not them.
There's a car.
Every time I turn, they turn. When I slow down, they slow down.
When I speed up...
They're speeding up, too.
Yep.
- They're not letting up. - Hang on.
Stop!
- Not yet, I-- - Ben, stop!
Okay, so...
Maybe it wasn't following us.
Ruby Rope?
I'd rather have a bathroom.
What? I've done it dozens of times.
What was that?
Nothing.
- Are we out of gas? - No.
Not for 37 miles.
Dude, we have to stop.
Look, whatever's going on, we'll be quick.
I promise.
Thank you. Then we can get some real licorice, not this fake stuff.
Another Nasutoceratops?
A younger one, but big.
They must be migrating from up north.
Maybe we should find another place to stop.
Benjamin, if you don't pull over, I'll jump out of your moving van.
- Is that what you want? - Okay, okay, I'm pulling over.
I don't care. This is urgent.
Just get here when you can.
It's happening. It's happening.
- Typical gas station bathroom.
No soap. No paper towels.
You scared me.
What are you--
I don't need to know why you're on the ground.
We gotta get out of here.
Right after we get gas. "Pay cashier." I'll be right back.
Wait, Darius. Darius!
Darius!
Darius.
You see that dinosaur, and you still stopped?
Well, we didn't really have a choice.
You know, I phoned the DPW to come collect that thing,
but they're getting so many calls,
they don't know when they can get out here.
Is, uh, your friend okay?
No.
You two look familiar.
Oh, um, yeah, we're kinda--
Probably just have one of those faces.
- Uh, two of those faces. No.
I know you.
You're those kids who were on that island.
The something seven.
- Nublar Six. - Yeah, yeah, good talk.
We really gotta go.
Let's move. I don't trust them.
The gas station attendant?
I heard them on the phone. They called someone about us.
Dude, they called someone about the dinosaur.
Or they're trying to stall us.
Ben, will you stop for a second?
There's no one following us, okay?
No one is tracking our phones,
and a gas station attendant in the middle of nowhere is not out to get us.
You gotta stop this, dude.
Don't you think I want to? But I can't.
Someone threatened us. We got attacked by raptors.
Who knows where we're safe? If we'll ever be safe again?
I thought you'd understand, but you're sticking your head in the sand.
Just like you did when she died.
You're right. I did hide.
But I'm not hiding now. I'm here with you, aren't I?
Because despite what I've seen, what makes sense, I trust you.
Why can't you trust me too?
What's it doing?
Sharpening its horns.
Uh-oh. It's stuck.
We gotta get it out of here before it takes down this whole place.
- What?! - Maybe these shrubs can lure it away?
You know Nasutoceratops don't eat desert shrubs.
Well, you got a better idea?
- There's gotta be something in there.
Okay. I'll try to keep it calm.
- Hey there, buddy.
It's okay. We got you.
Just relax, and we'll all get through this together.
Darius. Catch.
Onyi-Os?
It's all they had.
Mm! Yummy Onyi-Os.
- Huh?
No, no, no! It's all good. Just calm down.
Get a fire extinguisher!
We gotta hurry!
Thanks.
I ain't ever been that scared in my life.
Tell me something. How did you kids survive out there?
How were you not terrified all the time?
Oh, we were. Kinda never really goes away.
You just gotta learn to not let the fear control you.
Plus, we had each other.
We should probably get going, huh?
- Yeah. - You're not getting away that easily.
You gotta stock up on snacks. On the house.
- Least I can do since you saved my life.
And my business.
Okay, guess I was wrong about them too.
Just don't drink too much or we'll be stopping every five minutes.
A guy has to go to the bathroom one time and never hears the end of it.
To Sammy's?
To Sammy's.
Ooh, you got the good stuff.
Debatable. Ruby Ropes rule.
But if you like the clearly inferior Twibblers,
who am I to judge?
Have you ever even tried them?
Okay, wow. Yeah, those are-- Whoa, those are...
- Wow. You win.
Told you.
Thanks, Darius,
for coming with me, and keeping me grounded.
Of course.
We gotta stick together.
Hey. I thought this was my peace offering.
You're right.
Mm!
You're not just gonna eat that in front of me.
Oh no. First...
