Hollywood Safari (1997) - full transcript

♪ [ominous music] ♪

[playful cheering]

Okay, listen up.

15 minutes down
by the river,

we're gonna be
having a canoe race,

so I don't want to see
any of you drifting off.

So you want to go?

What if we're caught?

Oh, please.

Does the
council have a clue?

I mean, besides, they'll
be busy with that



stupid canoe race.

Okay?

Yeah, We'll be back before
anybody misses us.

Are you sure we're
not gonna get caught?

We're not gonna get caught.

Look at this.

This is so much
cooler than camp.

Where are we going?

Don't worry.
It's just up here.

Yeah.

So much wildlife and
rabbits and stuff.

Now watch your step.

See?
Didn't say it'd be easy, ok.

-It's quite a hike.



-Don't worry.
It'll be well worth it.

-Is it much further?

Where is this place?

Don't worry. It's
right down here.

Come on.

Tony, maybe we
should go back.

You know it's
getting dark.

-We'll have plenty of time.

When were you ever get
to see any of this again?

-I hope we don't get lost.

-It's right up here.

Be careful, ok. We're
going right up here.

Come on.

We're almost there.

Believe me, you're never
going to see anything

like this again.

-It's so beautiful.

-See? I told you this
is my favorite spot.

-I can't believe I
didn't know about this.

-How many people do?

-So quiet.

[animal hisses]

What is that?

What was what?

I heard
something over there.

There's something.
-Tony.

There's some kind
of animal up here.

Tony, maybe we
should go back.

No, it's some kind of cat.

Tony, let's go back.

No, no! Let me see. Hold on.

Tony.

[growling]

Tony!

[growling]
[screaming]

[screaming]

Get off of me!

[screaming]
[growling]

[screaming]
[growling]

Get off of me!
Help!

Help! Help!

Help me! Please!

Tony's being attacked!
Please hurry!

♪ [dramatic music] ♪

Oh, Tony!

Tony, Tony!

He's okay.

Call an ambulance.

TV: That's pretty much the
weather pattern for the next

few days for Kern County.

Clear skies all
through the entire week.

A great day for camping or
picnicking.

Get out there and
enjoy it.

This is for Flo Gardens
for channel eight news.

Back to you, Brian.

Give me your hand, Gray.

That's it.

Go in.

You better gobble this
up. Mrs Wollengong,

you're eating for two now.

Here boy.

Nice carrot.

Time for a little snack.
Josephine? Kimberly?

[growling]

Hey Clyde.
How's the training going?

Hey, Josh, You wanna try?

I don't think
that's a good idea.

Come on. You know
your father wants you

to start
apprenticing.

Yeah, I know.

What's wrong?
You scared?

No.

Misha's hurt.

Misha's not hurt.

No, he's hurt.

Look, he's got something
wrong with his front right paw.

You see that?

Let Misha
take a little break.

See you later, Clyde.

Plato? Come here.
Plato, come on.

Come here, Plato.

Don't make me chase you.

Give me my stethascope!

Way to go, Plato.

Hold it.

Better cool it before
you get in trouble.

Come on, hop up.

Pop up.

Plato! Plato! Come here!

He's gonna get it.

Ah, he's just a
little frisky.

He wants to
play with someone.

Where's your father?

Doing what he always does.

Driving everyone crazy.

Whoa, boy.

Nice and easy.

Come on, sweetie.

Let's get on the
stick, people.

We cannot afford to be
late to this movie location.

We're on it,
Mr. Johnson.

All right.
You know where you're going?

Yeah.

Just follow the map.

Everything will be fine.

Prep the animals as
soon as you get there,

and I'll be there
in a couple hours.

Be good, girls.

Loretta, These
trailers ready?

Yes, sir.

All right.
Put the camels upfront.

Kensho is in the back
trailer and the rest

can ride together.

You're taking Kensho?

No, you're taking Kensho?

Okay.

Where is Kensho?

Lounging.

Hi Kensho.
Hey, Peter, What's up?

Move out of the way,
Muddy.

What is this?

She's supposed
to be loaded up.

Come on, Dad, Can't
she stay here with me?

You know, she's
supposed to be on the truck,

and we're waiting for her.

Dad, listen.

Kensho has been working
almost every day

for three months.

That's why we need her.
She's the best we have.

But it's her birthday, Dad.

It is?

Yeah.

I mean, we celebrate my
birthday, and Peters,

even Muddy's.

How come we can't
celebrate Kensho's?

Okay, we'll celebrate this
afternoon when the job is done.

You promise?

Dad:
I promise.

Come on, Kensho.

That's my cat.

Come on,
we're moving on.

Okay.

Okay. Hop up. Hop up.

There you go.

See you, Kensho.

Promise you a birthday
party when you get back.

Bye Kensho.
-See you.

Miss you!

We hould be at Santa Monica
Pier in less than an hour.

Troy is gonna meet
us once we're set up.

Loretta, don't
ever do that again.

Stop.

[honking]
Did you hear something?

Loretta:
No.

[honking]

[honking]
[tires screeching]

Driver:
Move it! Move it!

You cow handlers.

What do you think you're
doing here on this road?

-What a nut.
What's he trying to do?

[honking]

Man!

Hey. Hey!

Better see if
anybody's hurt.

It's empty.

Call the police.

Rats.

We're gonna be late.

I got a feeling this is
somehow gonna be my fault.

[growling]

[indisdinct chatter]

Honey, you shouldn't
be drinking so much

It'll be my last one, huh?

Maybe you're right.

Maybe I had too
much to drink.

I'm starting to see things.

Sweetie.

Honey, what is it?

It's..

[gasp]
Mountain lion!

[screaming]

Yes sir.

I can't run a city like this.

No, I know.

The City Council...
-Yes, sir.

I know that the City
Council has...

Tourists going to Riverside...

Yes, Mayor Karl, what we're
doing...

...we're losing a whopping
40% in city revenues...

Yes, sir. I know that
40% is a big drop.

We have a problem,
we need it solved.

Well, sir,
we're doing our best.

I don't want your best.

Anyone can say
we're doing our best.

Yes, sir.

Got to do better
than your best, sheriff.

We'll do a little
better than that.

I want that job done. Now go
do what you're paid to do.

Yes, sir.

It's mayor pain in my rump.

Looks like the tourism is
down 40% since that kid

was attacked last week.

Says if this keeps up, We're
gonna lose a million dollars

this year.

And tourism for
picnicking and camping.

I told you, sheriff.

We're going to get some of the
boys together.

Then we can go up there and put
an end to this.

The problem is not trying
to get rid of it, Deputy.

The problem is finding it.

While we're waiting
for the next attack -

and there will be
another attack.

We could have 20 guys
up there in the hills

looking for it.

Rogers, with their luck,
they just shoot themselves.

I'm calling in some dogs
from Lencaster.

That's a day's drive.

Humour me on this deputy,
I know that the election is

still a month away, but
let's just pretend that I'm

the sheriff until then.

[phone rings]

Sheriff's Station, this
is Officer McClane.

What?

Hold on.
When?

Uh huh.

Where?

No, no, don't do anything
just to stay right there.

We'll be right there.

Excuse me, sir.

A bunch of picnickers just
spotted a lion right near

Dewer's Creek.

Okay, let's roll.

This is the third attack.

Call forestry
and fish and game.

Tell them where the
sighting was.

Right away, sir.

[indistinct chatter]

[tires screeching]

[shouting]

[gunshots]

[explosion]

[gunshots]

[explosion]

[explosion]
[screaming]

[applause]

Cut! Good take!

All right, everybody.
Take five.

That's five, people.

Hi. Greg.

You're right on time.

That's us.

Greg!

All right, let's
strike those C stands.

We're back in three,
everyone.

What?

Take a look.

Uh oh.

Uh oh! Why do you say Uh oh?

Out big cat is missing.

Missing?

Missing? What do you
mean? Like gone?

Not here? somewhere else?

I'll call Troy.

No, wait. We can handle
this ourselves.

Are you crazy?

Look, I can fix it.

How?

Just give me a minute to think.

We can backtrack.

We can't just leave the
animals here. Okay?

You stay.
I'll go.

I can't handle this.

I've only been
here six months.

We are in deep trouble.

Woman: We were
all scared. Just kept moving.

Man:
Yeah, it was Big.

We tried to scare
the thing away.

You know, that lion or
cougar or whatever

you wanna call it.

But it just kept on coming.

That's when we called you.

How long ago was that, sir?

That was about a half
hour ago, I guess. Huh?

Okay.

Sheriff.

Call HQ.
Give me the county chopper.

Notify the highway patrol.
-Yes, sir.

Should we wait for the sheriff?

No, we shouldn't.

This thing
doesn't have any range.

Give me something
with power.

What the hell do you
think you're doing?

Don't scare her.

Just be quiet.

You use the tranquilizer gun.

In case you've forgotten that
cat attacked an innocent boy.

I came here to kill it.

In case you forgot
this is protected land.

Besides, that might
not be the right cat.

Just stand
aside, Sheriff.

I'm ordering you to put
down that weapon, Deputy.

Can't do that.

That boy was the son
of one of my friends.

Look, just because it was
the son of one of your

beer guzzling poker buddies you
don't have the right to go

off half cocked.

Put down that weapon.

I'm sorry, Sheriff.

Are you
disobeying a direct order?

We'll do it your way.

If that's the lion
we're looking for,

you have my permission
to exterminate it.

You're can dance
on its grave.

In time.
In time.

[gun fires]
[cat growls]

Rogers, come
over here, please.

Look, I think we've got
this thing with the cat

wrapped up now, so I'm going
off for a day or two.

I gotta keep an
appointment in Marion

for the campaign.

Would you call the mayor
in the Chamber of Commerce?

Let him know everything's
okay now?

For re-election?

Yeah.
Something like that.

Look, Rogers.

I know, we don't always
see eye to eye on things,

but you're a good deputy.

I'm leaving you in charge.

Keep a watch out for me.

Keep things on an even keel.

I'm counting on you.

I'll do my best.

Do a little bit
better than that.

Good job, Deputy.

Janey.

Rogers.

Copy, Deputy.

Janey, call Teresa Towers
down the radio station and

Earl at the paper and
tell them we got the cat.

You're kidding.
You got the cat?

That's right.
I'm not lying, Janie.

I got him myself.

Janey.

Call Oxnard Television
Station and have them

get a reporter down
here on the double.

I want to end this as
the sheriff, Jenny.

Yes, sir.

We had this thing
ordered for weeks.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.
That's it?

I'm sorry.

Every second we don't
shoot is costing us money.

Give me that.

Can you dial this phone?

Can you?

Well call Troy. Now.

Get me your boss.

What are you waiting for?
A written invitation?

Whoa!

What?

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
say that again.

I said Kensho is missing.

She jumped out
of the trailer.

When?

About an hour ago.

An hour ago?

Well, What have you
been doing all this time?

I could -

Troy. We had a deal.

I call for a lion,

I expect a lion,
I pay for a lion,

I expect a lion.
You lied to me.

Think you're ever gonna
work in this town again?

Your career is over.

I want that cat.

We got that cat.

Like I said, this is a beast
that attacked that boy at

the campground last week.

That was Deputy Rogers who
captured this mountain lion

who's been terrorizing
folks near Dewer's Creek.

I think everybody knows once
a cat like this tastes human

blood, they'll come
back for more.

Now, the law says we should
put this animal to sleep.

I think everybody in this county
is gonna back me on this.

Thanks.
I gotta go.

The lion is sedated for now
and will remain that way for

10 to 12 hours.

In the meantime, all we
can do is wait to see

what its fate will -

Josh! Go get your father!

...They want
immediate extermination.

That's Kensho!

Dad. Dad!

Kensho was on TV.

Lost her right out of
the back of the truck...

They're gonna kill her.
What's going on?

If that sheriff
touches a hair on her head -

What are you
talking about?

On TV.

Kensho has been captured,
they're holding her at the

sheriff's station.

They're gonna
kill her, Troy.

Okay, Sheriff Station.

Let's go.

Can I come?

Absolutely.

[barking]

You stay here. Just in case.

What!?

Alright.

[barking]

Josh:
Dad, stop the car.

Come on in, buddy.

Good boy.

[barking]

Sheriff!

Stay.

Can I help you?

That's my cat you
got locked up.

Just one second.

I think this is
front page stuff.

Tell him to hurry
up and get -

What's your problem, lady?

That's my cat
you've got locked up.

It's your cat?

And who
the hell are you?

Firstly, deputy,
she's my wife.

And secondly, she's
the owner of the cat.

I'm the law here, and I'd
like her to start showing

some respect for
the law quickly.

You're the deputy.
Where's your boss?

I am the boss.

Yeah -
[dog barks]

Please, son, take
the dog outside.

No animals in here.

Come on, buddy.

Sorry, boy.
You got to stay out here.

[barking]

Release that animal
right now or I'll -

-Or you'll what?

Wait a second.
Wait a second.

Deputy, we have reason to
believe that the cat that

you have in your cell
right now is one of ours.

Now, we were transporting
animals to a movie set,

when somehow she got out.

That cat attacked a little boy.

That little boy is in
the hospital right now.

[whimpers]

Sheriff: I don't wanna have
to go into that with you.

Do you want me to?

What are you doing?

Dad:
What are you talking about?

Get behind.

Look, if an animal
attacks a human,

we have to kill it.

That's the law.

Deputy. She's a professionally
trained animal. She's tame.

She's a performer.

She's tame.

You call this tame?

Sorry.

Look, can't we please just
take a look at the animal?

What for?

So we can prove it's ours.

Well, let's say that
the two of you decide

that that's not the cat.

I've got 200
people that say it is.

Who are you gonna believe?

But can't we just have
five minutes with the cat?

All right, fine.

I'll let you have your five,
and then I'm gonna put you

both in jail and slap
you with public endangerment.

Come on, buddy.
Let's go.

Mom. Mom?
Mom, I'm leaving.

Yeah, yeah. Okay.

-Look, I've got two
officers coming here

from fish and game.

They've got a shot

that will put your cat to
sleep painlessly and quickly.

You're welcome to stay here.

There's a better way
to deal with this.

Yeah, there is.

Okay.
I got a plan, Muddy.

Yeah, I want you to smell this.

Come here, boy.
Yeah, smell it.

That's it boy, good boy.
All right.

[barking]

[phone rings]

Hello.

Prep a tranquilizer gun.

Make that two.

Oh, and bring some bait, okay?

We're going hunting.

What for?

I'm gonna track a lion.

I don't know, Josh, because Mom
and Dad told me to stay here.

You're always
doing what Mom says.

Now is not the time
to listen to Mom.

Come on, act your age.
-I am. I'm only 14.

Peter. They're gonna kill
Kensho if we don't get moving.

All right.

Okay.

So I want you to
meet me at the dead tree.

Bye.

Plato, not now.

Hey, give me that dart.

Give it to me, Plato.

Come on.
We can't mess around.

Come on, hand it over.

Thanks.

Oh man.

Caught that cat.
Suppose you heard about it.

That's why we're here.

It's terrible what
it did to that boy.

Lots of people around
here appreciate you

getting rid of that thing.

Is that right?

Yes, sir.
Three attacks like that.

Pretty near closing
down this whole town.

Well, we'll make sure it
doesn't get the chance to do

that kind of thing again.

Good luck.

Yeah, thanks.

So, what do you think?

Hello?

Can I help you?

Yes.
I'm Mr Williams.

Mr. Stevens. Where the
animal control officers.

We're here to take
care of that bad cat.

What's this?

What took you guys so long?

You're deputy Rogers?

Yeah.

Bring your stuff back here.

Mind if I set up shop
right here?

No!

[shouting]

I'm sorry. I don't know what
came over me.

Looks like we came just
in time for the fireworks.

You're not gonna interfere,
are you?

Come on, Jane.

Can we get on with it?

I want to get home.

Where's that cat?

We got it back here.

Hey!

Ma'am.

Hold it.

You're under arrest.

For what?

For impeding an officer.

What?

You want me to add
resisting arrest?

[barking]

Hey, Peter.
What took you so long?

I've been waiting
here for half an hour.

What a ride.

What are you doing on my bike?

Mine had a flat.

Did you bring everything?

Yep.

Come on.
We don't have much time.

Let's go.

How we gonna find it, Josh?

Well, I say we go back to
where the kid was first

attacked at the campground.

I'm sure we'll pick
up a scent there.

How are we gonna do that?

Scent's only two days old.

Yeah, but what if Muddy
can't pick up a scent?

I don't know.
Got to try, though.

Sure to
find something.

Probably right.
-Got to.

[barking]

Excuse me, sir.

Sir? Sir, I think
maybe we should wait.

Maybe until we
get the tests.

Let me have your badge.

I said give me your badge.

Come on.

You're fired, McQueen.

Excuse me?
-Go home.

Look for another job.
You're through.

I don't wanna
be fired.

McQueen.
I want cops here.

Cops that obey orders,
that don't talk back.

That know how to keep
their mouth closed.

I'm sorry. I won't -

[barking]

Josh: We're right
behind you, boy.

Peter:
Hey, slow down, Muddy.

Wait up, boy.

I think he's got something.

You're gonna have to
get off. It's way too rugged.

We're gonna have to
walk the rest on foot.

Alright.

[barking]

Let's go.

How much farther?

Looking at Muddy I'd
say not far at all.

I got a bad feeling about this.

Let's get Dad.

Josh:
What?

Peter: I don't know. I just
feel kind of weird about this.

Josh: Okay, just one
half hour. Okay?

Then we'll go back.

All right?
-All right.

[barking]

We've been
here before. Muddy!

[barking]

We're just going
around in circles.

What do you mean?

You see, Muddy can't
pinpoint the mountain lion

because the mountain lion
has been all over these

woods, particularly
around here. Understand?

Yeah, great.

So what do we do?

What do we do?

I say we go back
before it gets too dark.

Come on.
[barking]

Let's go, Muddy.

[barks]

Come on, boy.

Let's go.

Hey, Josh.

What?

Look.

What is this?

It's a trap.

Trap?

It's a trap for what?

Poachers.

Look.

This...

Primitive. It's illegal.

It's okay.
It's okay.

So what should we do?

Tell Mom and Dad
when we get back.

Shouldn't we just tell
the rangers -

Shh!
Listen.

What is it?

Listen.

You hear that?

No.

Come on.
Let's go find out.

Be careful, Josh.

Whoa.

What are we gonna do with it
once we get it out?

It looks so sick and stuff.

Bring it to mom.

She's got to know
what to do with it.

Hurry!

What if the poachers come?

That's why we
gotta hurry, man.

Come on.

[barking]

Quiet, Muddy.

This thing won't open.

[barking]

It's stuck.

[snarling]

[lion snarls]

Josh! Josh! Josh! Look!
The mountain lion!

[snarling]

[barking]

Hold it.
I'll get the tranquilizer gun.

You just keep running.

[snarling]

[gun fires]

Jump, Peter.

Ahhh!
-Whoa!

Ow.

Josh:
Buddy, go high.

Go!
Get out of here.

What?

Ow, it hurts.

Is it broke?

Let me see.
Come on.

It's not broke. Here.

[barking]

[whimpers]

We're dead.

No we're not.

What are we gonna do? What's
gonna happen to us?

Listen, how long is it gonna
take to do that job in there?

I've got some
reporters coming down.

They're gonna want some photos.

What are you doing?

Going.

You have a job to do.

Not here
we don't.

What about the cat?

What about it?

You were supposed to kill it.

Are you a clown?

Are you calling me a clown?

No, sir.
I'm asking you a question.

Are you a clown?

Because this isn't
a police station.

This is a circus, and we
don't want no part of it.

That nut you just threw
in jail broke my bottle.

Don't you have more?

Yeah, sure.

Back at the office.

And since it's
near quitting time,

we're about to
wrap things up.

So we'll see you on Monday.

Ciao.

Deputy, secure
that door.

Yes, sir.

I have to have
that cat dead.

I have to have
that cat dead today.

I have three sets of
campgrounds that are empty

because of that damn cat.

The mayor is
breathing down my neck,

and the City Council is
gonna take this badge in a

New York minute if I don't give
them a cat's dead body today.

Like my partner
said, Deputy Rogers,

we didn't bring
the whole artillery.

We just brought the one bottle.

Didn't you come prepared?

For World War Three?

I suggest that you get the
situation under control and

then you give us
a call on Monday.

No, no.

I could get you back today.

I'll get you
back here today.

That's a two hour ride there
in a two hour ride back.

There is no goddam-

Deputy, I want you to secure
a squad car that will take a

certain gentleman back to
his office so that he can

get the equipment he needs
to finish his job here.

And if that gentleman
gives you any trouble,

you'll have to
throw his bum in jail.

Yeah.

I want you to take
my car and my deputy,

who's gonna drive
faster than the wind.

Like he's never seen any speed
signs before in his life.

Bells and whistles going. He
can get you back here before

the sun sets so that you could
be home before happy hour.

Are we clear now
on the procedure,

Mr Animal Control Officer?

Anything you say,
Deputy Sheriff.

Good.

I had a feeling
you see it my way.

It's alright.
-You okay?

How long do you
think she'll stay?

She knows we're trapped,
Peter.

She's just gonna wait.

Hey, the tranquilizer gun.

Where's the tranquilizer
gun, Josh?

I dropped it.

Great.

You gotta do
something, Josh.

Like what?

What are we gonna dio?

I don't know, you got us into
this stupid mess.

It's not my fault
we found traps.

No one knows where we are.

We could've told mom
and dad or something.

Mom and Dad?

Yeah, like they'd really
let us come, right?

Yeah.
Exactly.

Just calm down, okay?

We'll get out of this.

Don't worry about it.

[snarling]

[barking]

Wait a second. You hear that?

What?
-Shh.

[barking]
It's Muddy.

[barking]

[snarling]

Muddy!
-Muddy!

He's dead.
I know it.

[hissing and snarling]

[barking]

Muddy! Muddy!
-Here boy!

[barking]
[cheering]

Way to go, boy!

Muddy, down here!

Good boy, Muddy.
-Good boy, Muddy.

[barking]

Hey, man.
A still works.

You got the darts?
Right here.

Yes! Good boy Muddy!

No, don't come down, Muddy.

Come on, go get mom and dad!

Yeah, go get Troy!

Go get him.

Hurry, Muddy.

Hurry.

Officer: You can use my
phone if you like.

Dad: Oh, thanks anyway.

I called
everybody I know already.

Nothing.

My lawyer's fishing.

Officer: We do a lot of
that around here.

Hey, Mudd, what are you doing
here?

Oh, hey!

[barking]

What is it, Mudd?

I think he's
happy to see you, Troy.

No, it's something else.

[barking]

Hey, hey, stop, stop!
You could use a hand.

You bet.

[barking]

Okay, let's try
it again, Peter.

Okay, let's go.

Got it.

Hold on.

What's wrong?

Did you hurt yourself?

What's wrong?

They're going to kill
Kensho, aren't they?

I remember when we
first brought you home.

You were so tiny.

I don't know how you got
yourself stuck up in that

tree at the compound.

It was really high for you.

You were so afraid.

But Josh heard you crying.

When nobody else did.

You know, he wasn't even
one for climbing trees,

but climb he did.

Must have been up in that
branch with you for more

than half an hour before
any of us knew where you

were, he was so young.

I don't think he
even remembers that.

Hey, what did you guys
talk about up there?

Because, you know, Josh has
never been the same since then.

Neither of
you were ever the same.

[barking]

Josh.

Josh!

What is it?

My kid's bike.

I got one kid at home,
and one kid is always into

things like this,

Josh!

[screaming]

Think you can hit it?

No.

You can.

No, way Josh,
I ain't doing it.

You're the better shot, Pete.

No, I'm not.
I can't do it, Josh.

You got to do it.

Do it.

Right.

Come on.

Come on. Stay still.

[gun fires]

Got him. Yes!

You did it, man.

[barking]

Muddy! Muddy, down here, boy!

Dad!
-Peter!

Hold on.
Quickly, get that branch.

Hang on.

Josh:
Hold on, Peter.

Careful.
Don't slip.

Reach up.

Got it.

All right.

Good.

That's it. Got it.

All right.

Somebody better tell
me what's going on.

Well, Muddy helped us
track the mountain lion.

We tried to get out, but we
found a lion cub in a trap

up there.

Then she showed.

Then what we did, we ran.
We ended up in there.

What about you?

What's your story?

He's just a bad
influence on me.

Troy. Give me your truck keys.

Think you can handle it?

Yeah, No problem.

I'll bring the truck
up around the back.

There's an old service road
that runs near here.

So who's the marksman?

Peter.

Nice shooting, Tex.

Peter:
Trap's over here.

Josh: Yeah, right in those
bushes, dad. Over there.

Well, hello.

Looks like we
got competition.

Looks like we
have competition.

Let's go welcome
our guests.

You guys rapel down.
I'll take the van.

I'll meet you there.

Alright.

This must be her cub.

That could explain her
nasty disposition.

She also has a trap
wound on her leg.

And I thought you were
going to stay in the house.

Peter: I was going to but
he called me and he told me -

It's my fault.

Well, don't worry.

There'll be plenty enough
blame to go around.

Poachers, Dad?

For sure.

Looks to be about
eight or 10 weeks old.

Can we keep it?

I don't think so.

Move.

You don't have to be so rough.

Take it easy.

Let the kids go.

You can have my wallet.

Hey, Nestor hear that?

He says we
can have his wallet.

I heard that.

Dad?

Oh, Dad, isn't that cute?

It's a family operation.

What are we talking about?
Moving in. Is that it?

Sorry.
This place is taken.

It's ours.

Okay, listen. Sure.
We'll just be on our way.

We're out of here.

We're not poachers.

What are you talking about, kid?

Poachers?

You gotta be kidding.

You guys ain't
poachers and not cops.

What are you, a
bunch of nice guys?

You know, I think I will help
myself to that wallet, sir.

Troy Johnson.

Well, Mr Troy Johnson.

What is it that you do?

Animal trainer.

Listen, we have a mountain
lion too, all right?

Sheriff just took
it, that's all.

That's why we have to bring
this one back with us.

We gotta.

To prove that ours
didn't attack anyone.

You gotta believe us.

Well, Mr Troy, is
that the story?

Yeah, that's it.

Okay.

Dad!

As soon as we
get out of Dodge

we'll send
something back for you.

What if a bear comes?

I guess you better
learn how to pray.

Oh, Uh oh.

Guess you're just dumb
enough to think you could

get away with this, huh?

Yeah, you can see who's
pretty dumb there, Mr Troy.

Bye, guys.

Get the cat.

Josh: You can't just
leave us like this.

Pete: Yeah, this ain't fair!

Josh: Hey, you can't leave!

Nestor.
Throw him in the back.

Come on, Eddie, get in.

Sure about those
guys back there?

Yes.

Stupid environmentalists.

Kiss my butt.

You said we're gonna
make a call for them.

What?

I mean, that's
what you said.

Hurry this seep up.

Sorry, boys.

This could take a while.

Don't pull so hard, Josh.

Ow.

[whimpering]

Hey, boy, come here.

Uh, how about a
little help here?

Pull the rope.
-Come here.

Right down there.

Good boy.

Pull it.
Come on, pull harder!

Come on, Don't stop.

That's it.

Pull it.

Yeah, good boy, Muddy.

That's it. Alright.

Hold on, Dad.

Pete: Where the heck
have you been?

Officer: What happened?
What happened here?

Troy: It's a long story.
Let me drive.

I knew we had
poachers out there.

I knew it.

They have to take
the canyon, right?

It's the only way in.

It's the only way out.

Let's hope my
timing is right.

Whoa, Dad!

Floor it, Troy!

You got it.

Jack. You ain't
gonna believe this.

What?

Look behind us.

Jeezo pete!

Come on. Step on it.

I am.

I thought you said they would -

Never mind what I said.

Just get us out of here.

I'm working on it.

Come on. Come on.

Get us out of here.

Move!

Hold on.

Ow! Ahh!

Sorry.

Hey, guys, what
about me?

Creeps!

Man! My gun's in the van.

You're alright.
You're not going anywhere.

I want you to stay here and
take care of that cub.

Peter:
The cub's all right.

Josh:
The mother lion's still sedated.

She's fine, too.

[panting]

Josh:
Hey, come on.

Let's check him out.

Poacher:
Come on, I'm trapped!

He's hurt.
-Yeah.

Can't just leave
him like that, Josh.

Poacher:
Come on.

I'm almost passing
out from the pain.

You promise to behave?

Poacher:
Sure.

Yeah, sure.

I don't know, Josh
should we believe him?

No. Do you?

Better get him
out anyway, though.

Come on, give me your hand.

Let's go.

Yah!

Come on.

♪ [dramatic music] ♪

Poacher:
Ow! Watch it!

Pete: It ain't my fault you got
a big butt!

I thought you said you were
gonna behave in the car.

I lied.

That ain't fair -

Peter, shh. Quiet.

I hate kids.

[barking]

Is he dead?

I don't know.

Let's get the gun.

Yeah.

My turn!

Come on.

Come on, boy.

Oh!

[police siren]

Well, welcome back.

Can we get on with this?

Sure.

This way.

Here we are.
Your cat's right here.

You can put your stuff -
-What's going on?

Justice.

You can't do this.

You don't know
what you're doing.

This is my job.

No, no, You've
got the wrong cat.

Look!

No, no, no.

Please don't do this.

Please.

This cat is not -
It never hurt anybody -

I raised this cat
with my kids -

Will you please do
something about that?

Listen to me, somebody.
You can't let him do this!

Take her out.

Where am I supposed to put her?

Take her anywhere, I don't
care, anywhere but here.

You've got the wrong cat.
I know my own animal.

Please, please listen to me.

Got to get going, guys.

That should hold you.

You can't just
leave us here.

Yeah.

What if a bear comes by?

Well I guess you'd better start
praying then, huh?

Embarassing. Tied up by a
bunch of boy scouts.

This stinks.

Get off my foot!

[poachers struggling]

Hey, guys, Come on.

We could work something out.

Hey, don't ignore me.

Come on.

They're in tight.

We'll send a wagon to
pick them up later.

I forgot about
the control officers.

You better step on
the gas, my friend.

Dad, I know a shortcut.

Where?

Over here. It was pretty cool.

I found it on the way here.

Alright, Dad, turn here.

Where?

Right here!

Whoa!

We're not expecting any more
surprises, are we?

Yeah, I hope not.

I'm ready.

Okay, Open it.

Go ahead.

It's gotta be this cat.

Almost killed
a boy.

What did you say?

Nothing. Go ahead.

This is the cat, isn't it?

Yes, go ahead.

Now, look, if you guys
are gonna delay again,

I'm going to start thinking
that you're harassing me.

Heh.

It starts on, right here.

All?

Yes, all four, please.

[barking]

We've got a mountain lion
in the truck outside.

It's the one that
attacked that boy.

I've also got
three poachers

tried to a tree
year old plank road.

Yes, sir.

Hold it.

Josh:
Is Kensho ok?

Where's Deputy Rogers?

Well, as soon as he
signed the papers,

I believe he went out to
talk to the reporters.

Is that right?

Far as I know.

Well, I'm gonna go give
a detailed report

to Sheriff Todd.

Thank God. What happened?

Our crazy
kids saved Kensho.

We found the real mountain
lion that attacked the boy.

What happened to you?

Well, they
didn't do all the work.

Can't wait to tell everybody
in school that my mom was

actually imprisoned.

You better not!

[barking]

Peter: Mom, Dad, you should have
seen Muddy!

Josh:
Yeah, he saved us!

Peter:
He took down the bad guys!

Josh:
Even the mountain lion.

Peter: He's the one who really
saved Kensho.

Josh:
Attaboy, Muddy! Yeah!
