The Adventures of Jurassic Pet: The Lost Secret (2023) - full transcript
An adventurous teenager and her grandmother are the protectors of a magical doorway to a land of dinosaurs when a baby dinosaur, Junior, decides to stay in our world and stumbles upon a group of criminals planning an evil scheme. Wendy bands together with an orphan boy, Curtis, to save the town and get Junior back home.
Curtis, do you mind
giving us a moment?
I'll be
on the porch.
Well, you must be Curtis.
It's just a month, Wendy.
It's just-- Gran and I
already had plans,
just the two of us.
Look, I know how much
you love Gran, okay?
We all do.
But you need to start
spending time
with some other kids.
It's actually what sparked
your mother's great idea
about giving the kids
at the orphanage
some family time.
You know, a much-needed
Christmas break
they might not otherwise get.
And she thought that
it'd be good for you
if we hosted Curtis.
- But I--
- The holiday season
can be tough.
Especially if you have
no one to share it with.
Not everyone
has a family like you.
I know, it's just--
I don't wanna babysit
over Christmas break.
Curtis is only a few years
younger than you, Wendy.
He doesn't need
a babysitter.
He might just need
a big sister.
l mean, what are we
supposed to talk about?
Baseball? Bugs?
And what about Gran?
We have a routine.
Okay. Well,
I spoke with Gran,
and she said Curtis
is more than welcome
to hang out with you guys
this weekend.
She hasn't thought
about how this
complicates things.
I want you on your
best behavior, okay?
And treat Curtis
like family.
You guys just need
to find some common
ground, that's all.
Okay.
All right, let's get
going before Gran
gets mad. Come on.
- Hey. Ooh!
- Ah!
- Hey.
- Come on. That way.
- Hey, okay!
- Ooh!
Hey you did make sure
everything was tied down
good and tight, though?
- Yeah, I tied it down.
- Sweet.
- Okay.
- Tight.
Shit!
Dang, man!
Ah, Barney! Stop! Stop!
Get out the car.
Clyde!
I thought you said
everything was secure!
Uh, it was! It was.
It was. It was at first.
You do realize that the boss
will kill us if we lose
any of this stuff, all right?
No, man, it wasn't
even my fault, Barney!
Man, you had to hit
every pothole
on the road, man!
- You could've dodged that!
- What did--
I just--
Just help me get it back
in the truck, okay?
- Okay, man, okay!
- Okay?
- Sorry, okay.
- Okay.
Ohh!
No!
God, get the barrel
out the water!
Um, I just got these
new boots today, Barney.
I-I don't think
I wanna do that, man.
Get the barrel
out the water!
Okay, you don't gotta
yell at me. Relax.
Is all that blue stuff
supposed to be pouring out
that barrel like that?
I don't think so.
What we gonna do, man?
- We?
- Yeah.
But there's no "I"
in "spilt".
Ah.
- Yes, there is.
- I know.
- Yes, there is.
- I know.
- I got it.
- Okay.
What if we let all
that stuff in the barrel
spill in the lake,
and we take it back up
when it's lighter?
- Yeah, man,
I like that idea.
- I know.
That's smart,
that's smart.
Real good idea.
- Yep.
- Um...
- What we gonna tell boss?
- I'mma tell 'em you did it.
- What?
- Mm-hmm.
All right,
we'll see you in a few days.
The three of you
have fun, and try to stay
out of trouble, all right?
We're gonna have
a great time.
I can't guarantee
we won't find
trouble though.
All right.
Don't worry.
You're gonna be good
friends in no time.
I hope so.
"A baby velociraptor's skull
isn't fully developed until...
- they're six--"
- Hey, Curtis.
Why don't you join us?
We're looking over
our latest research.
I'm sure he's fine.
You'd probably just
find this boring, anyway.
Yeah, I'm good.
I'm just glad to be
out of the orphanage
for a little while.
Well, who's hungry?
I know I am. I think
I'll start dinner.
Would you like some help?
That'd be really
nice, Curtis.
Hey, Curtis?
Gran and I might not be
here tomorrow morning
when you wake up.
We have to go
visit a relative.
But I thought
we were staying here
for the weekend?
You are.
What am I
supposed to do?
We'll only be gone
for part of the day.
Don't worry about things
that don't concern you.
And don't bother my Gran
about any of this.
She already has a lot
to take in, you know?
Inviting a stranger
into her home
and everything.
It's for your own safety.
How about tacos?
My favorite.
We're coming!
What are you doing here?
I thought you said
you were visiting
relatives?
You can't be here!
- Wendy, it's okay.
- But, Gran, it--
I think we can
trust him.
How do you know?
Let's just say
I have a feeling.
Who would believe him,
anyway?
We can trust you,
can't we?
Yeah.
You're not just
saying that, are you?
You gotta mean it.
No-- I mean, yes!
Yes, you can trust me.
Lives depend
on that trust.
Yes, ma'am.
You must promise us.
Promise them that whatever
you see here today
must be kept secret.
Do you understand?
Yes, I promise!
Wait, did you say "them"?
Whoa!
Very funny.
No wonder you don't
have any friends.
I didn't ask
for you to come.
He's here now,
Wendy.
And you, as long as
you are with us, you are
part of this family.
No more bickering.
Sorry, Gran.
- Is that a real...
- Dinosaur?
He used to roam
these woods.
He died of old age
about 20 years ago.
That's impossible!
Dinosaurs went extinct
millions of years ago.
And if they were
in these woods, someone
would've seen them.
This thing is huge.
It's not a thing.
His name was Caesar.
This is crazy.
I'm going back
to the house and
calling the orphanage.
What was that?
This is Junior.
He's amazing!
H-how is this
even possible?
We're not sure why
or how, but the morning
after every full moon,
in this spot, a doorway
opens up for one day.
We're not sure if
it's a parallel world
or if it's our past,
but we know we have
to keep it a secret.
And now, Curtis, you are
one of the very few
who know about this.
Hey, Junior,
I brought you
a soccer ball.
Whoa! He's strong
for a little guy.
I got it!
Run! Run! Run!
No, no, no. Shh.
Stay calm.
He is gonna
eat me?
No.
He likes you.
He can tell.
You're a good person.
That's Albert,
and this is Mina.
Hello?
Oh, Albert,
Chris isn't coming.
Remember, he said his
goodbyes the last time
he was here?
His parents took
a job far away
and they had to move,
but he's doing great.
And he checks in with me
from time to time
and makes sure that
you are safe and happy.
He loves you.
Your friendship
is everything to him.
He was so happy that
he got to see Junior
before he had to go.
Mm-hmm. Ha!
Oh!
It's time for us to go.
It's a long hike back.
Albert, I will see you
in a month.
You and your family
be safe.
Sorry, Junior.
Next time.
So what is your
research about?
What we showed you today.
I'm working
on my newest book.
It's called The Secret
Lives of Dinosaurs .
And Wendy's been
helping me with it.
And if it's okay with her,
I'd like you to join us.
There's room on the cover
for one more name.
Yeah, that's fine.
All right,
tell me what to do.
First off, mom and dad
don't know anything
about this.
A book about dinosaurs, yes,
but real-life dinosaurs?
No.
Got it.
I won't tell anyone.
How did you find them?
One evening, I was out
for a walk in the woods,
and a mysterious man
appeared out of the fog.
- Were you scared?
- Yes!
At first, but there
was something about him.
A peace, a kindness
surrounded him.
And he told me that
it was time to pass
the secrets of the forest
to someone with virtue.
And just as I felt
the goodness in him,
he sensed in me a gentleness,
and trust, and love.
And those are the qualities
that I try to give
to my daughter
and to my granddaughter.
He showed me the wonders
that we shared with you today.
And he also gave me
something that he said
might come in handy.
What was that?
That's a secret
for another time.
All right, you two,
off to bed.
- Good night, Gran.
- Good night.
- Good night.
- Good night, Curtis.
Good morning, Gran.
Well, good morning,
you two.
- Curtis, did you sleep
all right?
- Well, I finally could.
I can't wait till the next
full moon to see 'em again.
Well, you won't have
to wait that long.
Come on out, little one.
Junior? Wait--
But how did he...?
Who knows? He must've
followed us home.
He's trapped here.
Oh, his parents
must be worried.
Well, it's my job to make sure
that he's safe
until the next full moon.
And you two can help me
while you're here.
And after that
we'll lay low, and...
Curtis and l can help out
after school.
Perfect.
Ohh.
Bye, kids!
Bye!
- Bye, Tadrina. Thank you.
- Bye, Mason. You are welcome.
Ow!
H-Help...
911, what's your emergency?
Junior? Wait--
Where'd you go? Junior...
Junior? Junior?
Mom?
- Mom.
- Gran.
Mom, hey.
Who-- Who is Junior?
I don't-- I don't know.
What happened to Gran?
She took a pretty nasty fall
but she's gonna be all right.
The doctor said that she's
gonna take some time to heal,
so she's staying with us
for a little while, okay?
Um...
- It's Christmas break.
- Yeah.
Curtis and I could
take care of Gran
at her house.
I think it's easiest
for everyone if she just
stays here with us.
- But, Dad--
- Wendy.
- Junior!
- Gran!
Mom. Mom, you keep
calling out for--
for Junior.
Who-- who's Junior?
No-- no one. I, uh--
Oh, I really think
I hit my head that hard.
And... ooh, and my leg.
- Ooh...
- See, Mom,
this is exactly why we
don't think you should be
staying out there all alone.
Olivia, I'm not that
far out of town.
I'm gonna be fine.
And as soon as I go home,
these two kids, they'll help.
Okay, Mom.
Maybe give me--
give me a minute
with them.
All right, let's go.
You can have one minute.
One minute, okay?
What happened
to Junior?
He must've gotten scared
when I fell and he ran out
the front door.
But he's gotta be around
my house somewhere,
don't you think?
You need to go find him
'cause he's just
too little to be out
there all by himself.
Don't worry, Gran,
we'll find him.
We'll find him.
- Come on, Curtis. Come on.
- Okay.
Junior!
Junior!
Junior! Come on, buddy!
Look, I found something.
Ugh, he could be anywhere.
I think it's time I show you
the other secret
Gran was talking about.
It's not a flying robot?
Or freaky clown, is it?
Wendy, answer me!
Come on, Curtis.
Junior!
- Junior!
- Junior!
Come here, buddy,
it's Wendy! Junior!
This will take forever.
The forest is massive,
he could be anywhere.
Why don't we use
the rockets for extra speed?
I bet we could find him
in no time.
No, we would shoot past
so fast, everything
would be a blur.
We'd never be able
to find him that way,
trust me.
Well, Gran did make
one modification we could
use to help find Junior.
I just don't have that
much experience with it.
Let's do it!
Okay, hold on.
It's...
Ah.
Oh, you might wanna
put up your glasses.
Uh, Wendy?
- Wendy, there's a truck.
- Hold on.
- Wendy, there's a truck!
- Hold on.
Wendy, hurry up! We're--
- We're not gonna make it!
- We're gonna make it!
- No, we're not, Wendy.
There's a truck! Hurry up!
- Hold on!
- There's a truck!
- Hope you're not
afraid of heights!
What!?
You can open your eyes now.
Bet none of the other kids
are getting to do this
with their host families.
- Um...
- Can you keep it steady?
I thought you said
you could drive?
Drive yes, flying...
not so much.
Gran took me up
once before.
She said
I was a natural.
Natural disaster maybe.
Hey, you're not dead.
Have a little faith.
Everything will turn
out in the end the way
it's meant to be.
You're right.
I'm sorry, Wendy.
This is amazing.
- What does this button do?
- No! Don't--
- Whoa! Whoa!
- Oh, you've killed us!
We're gonna die! Oh, you--
Oh, you've killed us,
you fool!
Oh, it's all your fault,
we'll die!
Oh, we're gonna die!
It's all your fault!
Wait, why are
you laughing?
That one's not
connected to anything.
- What?
- But seriously,
don't touch anything.
You flip the wrong switch
and it could be bad.
Like, really bad,
like...
...bad.
- Um, but, Curtis?
- Yeah?
I do owe you
an apology.
For what,
scaring me?
No, that too,
but...
I realized when
you first arrived,
I might've been a little...
mean?
It's okay.
It's just, ever since
I was a little girl,
I heard all the stories
of the amazing adventures
with my mom and Gran.
Every summer, they would
travel the world
looking for ancient
artifacts and treasures.
It was something
they shared,
just the two of them.
I don't know,
I just kinda thought
that the dinosaurs
and the doorway was...
It was yours.
I get it.
But you came along
and Gran just kind of...
let you in.
Without asking me.
Well, anyways,
I'm sorry.
You're lucky
to have someone.
Especially family.
I would do anything
to talk to my parents
or grandparents, just once.
You hear that?
No, I don't
hear anything.
Hey, I think
I see Junior.
- What?
- Hold on.
Junior! Junior! Junior!
Junior! Junior!
It's okay!
It's okay!
Gran's okay!
She's been worried
about you.
We both have been.
Let's get you
home safe.
Did you find him?
Oh!
Junior!
You're so good.
I'm so glad you're back!
Down, down, down!
I thought I heard
you guys come in.
- Mmm, what's going on?
- Uh...
Ah, my leg's acting up
a little bit.
A little bit?
What the--
Ju, Ju, Ju--
- Oh, my gosh, what is that?
- Guys, get back!
- Get back behind me!
- Mason he's not
gonna hurt anyone!
How do you know that?
Because I know
his parents.
And they're gentle,
so is he.
What exactly is he, Gran?
A dinosaur.
Okay, Mom. Oh, my gosh.
We're gonna have
to call the doctor.
Liv, I am fine!
This is Junior.
But, Mom...
Liv, when have I ever
not told you the truth
about anything?
- Never?
- All right, then,
so here's the truth now.
There's a secret
doorway that opens
after every full moon
between here and
the land of dinosaurs.
I'm the guardian
of that doorway.
And Junior is trapped here
until the next full moon.
I've been looking after him
for over three weeks.
The next full moon
is in two days,
and then he can go home.
Tadrina,
this is just crazy.
But he is kinda cute.
Okay, look.
Junior can stay
here tonight.
But, tomorrow,
we're going to decide
what to do with him.
All right, now, everybody,
let's let Gran rest, okay?
Come on. Slowly.
Get some rest, Gran.
Hey.
I know this is difficult,
seeing your mother
like this.
And she is always
welcome to stay with us.
But that creature,
it can't stay here.
We don't know
what it is.
And as deputy mayor,
it's literally my duty
to make sure
that the citizens
of this community,
and my family,
are safe.
Tomorrow, I'm gonna
speak with the mayor,
and see if there's
any suitable place
to house Junior.
Maybe the zoo
will take him.
You-- you can't!
If they find out he's a real
dinosaur, there's no telling
what they'll do to him.
Or the others
in the forest!
It's being
taken care of.
- Please, we'll help
take care of him.
- He's Gran's responsibility.
And everyone
is my responsibility.
- But, Dad, it's not fair.
- That's my final word.
Let's get washed up, okay.
It's almost time for dinner.
A living dinosaur
is impossible.
Well, I still believe
in the impossible.
I remember
when you did too.
Why am I the bad guy?
I'm just trying to make sure
everybody is safe!
- Good morning!
- Morning, guys!
Hey, we both have to go
to work today, okay?
So it's gonna be
up to you guys
to make sure that
Gran has everything
she needs, okay?
Yeah, we'll take care
of Junior too.
You'll see he'll be
no problem.
Wendy, darling, Junior
needs to be with his own kind.
- Whatever that is.
- Yeah.
- That's what I'm trying to do.
- Okay.
Well, I'm sure Mr. Patterson
will find a place
that you can visit Junior.
- Problem solved.
- Yeah.
Dad, he has a family.
Wendy, now's not the time.
We gotta get to work, okay?
Gotta go, guys. Call us
if something comes up, okay?
We'll be back later. You stay
out of trouble, all right?
- We will.
- All right, thank you.
Well, good morning,
my little adventurers.
- Good morning, Gran.
- Morning, Mrs. Green.
Hey, what did I tell you?
Call me Gran.
Dad says Junior
can't stay with us.
Oh, your dad.
You know he's trying to do
what's best for everyone.
But he has forgotten
what it's like to be a kid.
That young man
is still in there.
You'll see.
I hope you're right.
Oh!
Oh!
- Aw!
- Corn flakes!
I forgot to tell you.
I've been teaching Junior
a few words while he's
been staying at my house.
He's making
great progress.
He'll be speaking
in complete sentences
in no time.
Won't you,
my little dino genius?
Genius.
Mason, Olivia!
How's your mother?
Ugh, she gave us quite
the scare, um, but
she's gonna be all right.
Good to hear.
My heart goes out
to you and your family.
I really appreciate that,
Samuel, thank you.
Well, thank goodness
you're here today.
I don't know
if you noticed,
but several people
are out of the office sick.
I've had reports
from all over the city
that people have come
down with some kind
of a sleeping sickness.
Do we have any idea
what could be causing it?
Well, a tsetse fly
is the first thing
that comes to my mind.
Well, I learned about them
when I traveled to Africa
with my mother
when I was younger.
Their bite causes
flu-like symptoms
and sleeping issues.
But I don't know,
that doesn't really
makes sense.
They're not
common here.
I know it sounds crazy,
but that's exactly
what our experts
think it might be.
For now, let's just hope
it's an isolated thing.
If there's anything
that we can do,
you just let us know.
Well, let's not get
the public stirred up until
more research can be done.
Tests are being
conducted to confirm
if it's the tsetse fly.
So, for now,
all we can do is wait.
The first batch
is almost complete.
It will be more than enough
to cover this whole area.
- Hey!
- Hi!
We only have time
to grab a quick lunch,
then we gotta head back
to the office.
- Have you eaten?
- Yeah.
Good.
Curtis and I have been
taking good care
of Gran and Junior.
Good. I'm really glad
to hear that you guys
are getting along.
He's not so bad.
See?
What did the mayor
say about Junior?
Uh, well, actually,
we didn't get a chance
to talk to him about that.
We're dealing with some other
pressing issues right now.
Like what?
Nothing to worry
yourself about.
You just enjoy
your time with Junior
while you can, okay?
Okay.
Careful with those.
See?
I told you Wendy and Curtis
would hit it off.
Hey, Junior,
say "Curtis."
Cur...
Cur-tis.
Cur...
- Cur...
- Cur...
...-tis.
It's not working.
Wendy!
- Curtis.
- Oh! Thank you.
Sure you don't
want one, Gran?
No, I'm good.
But if you two are good
with watching Junior,
I think I need a nap.
We'll watch him, Gran.
Good. You wanna
gimme a hand?
- Here, Gran.
- All right. Here we go.
Careful on the step.
Hey! Hey, Junior!
Now roll it back to me.
Hmm. Go deep, Junior!
Oh, no!
Junior?
Junior! Ju--
Curtis, are you all right?
The tree. It talks.
Really?
They communicate
through the roots.
They said that there's
something wrong
with the river.
Something we, the humans,
can't tell by drinking it,
but the trees
can sense it.
There's something toxic
in the water.
Okay, so the tree
that's been in my yard
my entire life,
suddenly told you
the water was unsafe?
Now you act like
a talking tree is crazy.
You've witnessed a door
to the land before time,
seen real-life
dinosaurs,
and have flown a homemade
rocket of death.
Water bad.
Wait, wait, so, so--
so Junior's stuck
here for a month,
Dad wants him gone,
Gran's hurt, and-and
now the water is toxic?
What else
could go wrong?
We save town. Together.
All right.
Who's up for another ride
on the rocket of death?
There! That building!
I saw that building
in my head.
- Come on, Junior.
- Yeah.
Hey, man, uh,
that looks pretty heavy.
- Ah! It's not that bad.
- You doin' good, though.
- Appreciate it.
- Why you got it on the side?
Uh, well, you know,
the way it was lifted
and science.
- Makes sense.
- Makes sense.
Let me just... All right.
- Right there.
- Sweet!
- Good job, man.
- All right.
- That's lunch, everybody!
- Peace out.
Disperse.
Uh, except you,
li'l mama. Come here.
Here. I want a bacon, egg
with cheese with a large fry.
- No.
- What--
What's wrong with her?
Attitude.
Hey.
Who's this?
- Who's that?
- It's boss.
Hello? Ah. Hey, boss!
Yeah, it's Barney.
Oh, yeah, we just finished
processing all of it, yeah.
All the barrels are ready
to be shipped off.
- Tell him I said hi.
- Uh--
Yeah, l just let everyone
leave for lunch. Yeah.
Uh... I-I'm not really sure
what happened, um,
some of it just, you know,
kinda leaked in the river
and, uh, it just
kinda got there.
I mean we, we, we,
we cleaned up
what we could. Yeah.
Oh, no, no, there'll be
more than enough,
I promise, yeah.
Tell him, tell him,
tell him Clyde took
care of everything.
- Tell him Clyde did everything!
- Clyde, Clyde, call--
- Tell him. You almost
messed it up!
- Clyde--
No, no, yeah, boss,
I'm still here. Yeah.
I-- Yeah, I promise.
No more mess ups.
Okay, Warren Chapel?
Yeah, we'll be there.
We'll be there soon.
No worries.
- All right. All right,
bye, boss. Bye.
- Tell him--
Yo, I hate it when you talk
to me when I'm on the phone.
- It's very rude!
- I'm so sorry--
Hey! Come here.
Come here.
What are you doing?
- I was just looking
for my dog.
- What'd you hear?
- Nothing?
- What'd you see?
- Uh...
- Uh, uh...
Enough! Gimme those glasses!
Get 'em again!
Go one more time! Boom!
Barney! Barney, Barney!
It's okay! Barney!
- Hey! It's okay--
- Hey! Hey!
H-hey!
My dad is the deputy mayor
and y'all can get
in big trouble for that.
You're going to jail.
- My dad's deputy mayor...
- You gonna go to jail.
- Ooh!
- Ooh!
- We ain't scared
of none of that!
- None!
What is it?
Hey, uh,
what kinda dog you say
you lookin' for again?
Whoa, what is that?
- Get it!
- Come here, come here.
Stay back. Stay back.
Control your mutt.
Control it!
If I pour this down
his ear, it'll turn
his brain to soup.
- What?
- Yeah, you heard me.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa.
Is that how that stuff
actually works?
I don't know,
man. Why?
Well, because I chugged
three of 'em!
- Three?
- Yeah, I was thirsty!
Thirsty?
You see that?
You'll be so brain-damaged,
you gonna be just like Barney.
- No!
- Mm-hmm.
Control him!
No! Junior, No!
No, no, no!
- Get 'em, Barney!
- Back! Back up! Watch this!
Git! I got him!
- Come on, let's go! Let's go!
- Git! Git!
I'm gonna swing kick him,
I'm coming!
- Let's go! Get in here!
- I'm going!
- Hurry up!
- I'm sorry!
- Go!
- I'm going!
- Go!
- I'm going!
- Are you here?
- I'm here!
I'm driving!
I'm dead. I'm dead.
Dad's gonna kill me.
Come on, Junior.
We're gonna get him.
Come on.
What did they say
it was called?
Chapel Hill?
Warren Chapel.
- Thank you, Junior.
- No problem. Save Curtis.
It's an airport.
Let's go.
- Stay here, Junior.
- Okay.
Yeah,
sit tight, kid. Don't move.
Yeah, that should do it,
Barney.
Yeah. Don't worry, kid.
It'll all be
over soon.
Ah! Ow!
- You okay?
- Why didn't you tie
his feet up?
I ran out of rope.
I have no more rope.
- Hey, boss.
- Hey, boss.
- Show it to me.
- Oh!
- We did good, huh, boss?
- Oh, yeah. It's amazing.
Such a small amount
can affect such a large area.
Think of the money
we're gonna make
off the black market
when our plan proves
its effectiveness.
- We gonna be rich, boss!
- What's up with the kid?
Uh, found him
snooping around the lab, boss,
along with some girl
and their ugly dog.
- Girl? What girl?
- Yeah.
- Where is she now?
- Oh, she's back at the lab.
Oh, but don't worry. Nothin'.
- Clean slate.
- Nothin'.
- Hi, Wendy!
- I told you to wait for me.
What are you doing? Whoa!
Pickles! Settle down.
Why Pickles, boss?
Well, you know how
whenever you bend a pickle,
it makes a snap?
Yeah?
Well, so does my Pickles.
She's green, and she snaps!
Good one, boss.
You had me.
You got me.
Pickles, settle down!
When's the last time
you fed her?
It's been
about a week.
Oh.
Might be time
for fresh meat!
Snack time!
Boss, what you doin'?
Letting Pickles out
for her walk.
It's snack time!
- Wait, right now?
- Yeah!
- That's you! That's you!
- Whoa, whoa, no, you!
Hey, you--
Oh, no.
- No.
- No, no, no.
Come on, let's go.
Close it. Come on!
Come on!
Where's Junior?
He's in the jeep.
Well, we can't
just leave him here.
I know!
When I open this gate,
go out the back.
- Oh, whoa, whoa!
- Oh, no, no, no, no!
Why can't we go out
the back first?
Because Pickles
needs bait!
Open the gate!
Open the gate!
Open the gate!
Hold it, hold it.
Thanks, boss.
What now?
Get back to the lab
and make sure it's secure!
Okay! Uh...
- Go!
- Oh, yeah!
Ah--
What about
the kids?
What if they call
the police?
I'm the mayor
of this town.
I control the police.
- Big boss.
- That's why he's in charge.
See you, boss!
Quick, come on,
come on.
You know what's
crazy, Barney?
What?
Boss just tried
to use us as bait.
All right, look,
Clyde, I didn't
wanna tell you this,
but he was trying
to use you as bait.
Uh, he used both of us.
We were side by side.
Yes, he put us both
in there, so you wouldn't
feel left out and alone.
- He like me better.
- Hmm.
Okay, hmm.
We know who's in charge.
Yeah. I'm in charge.
I'm the one driving.
- What was that?
- I don't know.
- Sounds like some
leaves or something.
- Hmm. Oh.
You right. Yeah,
we do got the roof off.
- Drop top!
- Drop top!
Why you silly?
- What is that?
- It came from the back.
- Check and see what that was.
- Nah, man, you look.
Clyde, I can't look,
I'm driving.
- Oh, you right.
- Yeah.
- Uh... Barney?
- What?
- That-that rat from the lab?
- Hmm?
He's back, Barney.
He's back there sitting
in the back seat.
Okay.
All right.
Well, give him some
of your karate moves,
brother.
- Show 'em what you got!
- My karate moves? I got 'him!
- Give it to him!
- I got him!
Yeah, give it
to him! Yeah!
- Did you get him?
- I got him! I got him!
We got him.
We got him! Woo! We got him!
You did good, bro.
You did your thing.
Woo-hoo! Yeah!
Oh-- What the...
Barney, he's back!
He is back, man!
Okay, well, do something
and take care of it,
my brother!
- You got it!
- I got somethin' for him.
Yeah, get him, get him!
Yeah! Yeah, get him!
- Ow! Ow! Ow! Ah!
- Yeah!
- What? He bit--
What'd you mean--
- He bit me! He bit me, look.
Ooh, that looks
like it hurts.
You know what,
I got something for him.
- Okay, what?
- I got something for him.
Mm-hmm.
It's time for Pickles'
sleepy-time shot, baby!
That's perfect!
There's Junior!
Uh, Barney,
we got a problem.
- What?
- Those kids is back.
Huh?
And they're flying
a go-kart.
Clyde, go-karts don't fly.
What are you talking about?
Look for yourself,
Barney.
Whoa!
Okay, okay. We can't let them
follow us back to the lab.
- I got it. I got it.
- Okay?
Okay! Show 'em
what you got.
- Oh!
- No, no, no!
- You get them?
- I hit them! I hit them! Yeah!
Sorry, Junior.
Let me get the rat!
- Get the rat!
- I shot him again!
- You got 'em?
- He gone!
Oh, I did it! I did it!
Oh, yeah, I did it!
Woo-hoo!
Huh?
- We, we did it.
- Yeah, that's what
I said, brother.
We did it, good job!
Yeah! Woo!
Boss is gonna be
so proud of us.
Yeah, boss is gonna
be proud of me.
- Oh, boss is gonna be
proud of me.
- Us.
I said us, did you not
hear what I said?
I said boss is gonna
be proud of us.
Calm down.
All right, I need you
to keep one eye open
at all times.
- For what?
- Why you always
got an attitude?
Just look for anything
out of the ordinary.
You okay?
No, li'l mama. You wouldn't
believe it if I told you.
And the last time
we saw Junior, he was
in the back of their jeep.
We didn't know
there'd be bad guys there.
The tree only said
there's something wrong
with the water.
Well, that is certainly
gonna be a new chapter
in our book.
Absolutely amazing.
We found this
at the airport hangar.
They had barrels
of this stuff.
Well, tomorrow
after your parents
go to work,
I'm gonna analyze this.
And then we will find Junior,
and we'll get him home.
All of my lab equipment
is back at the house.
- Oh, we can take you.
- Yeah?
When did you learn
how to drive?
Gran...
There's one, um...
little, tiny thing
we forgot
to mention, um...
we were flying.
And how did you
manage that?
It was hidden
in the backyard.
Oh, my granddaughter.
The risk-taker.
Just like her Gran.
It was a little cramped,
but we made it.
At least we didn't
almost hit a plane.
That would've been bad.
Curtis!
What?
Wendy, test tube?
Let's find out
what they're up to.
Is there anything
we can do?
This will take a minute.
Why don't you have a seat?
Can I ask you something?
You don't have to answer
if you don't want to,
it's just...
How I became an orphan?
- Am I that obvious?
- It's okay, I'm used to it.
My parents died
when I was a baby.
They were on their
way home, it was late,
and it was snowing.
The roads got icy
and a truck slid
into their lane.
They couldn't stop.
That's horrible,
I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
I was told
that my parents
were good people.
That they were kind
to everyone they met.
Also, that they
loved me very much.
That's why I try to be
the best person that I can.
Any brothers or sisters?
No, just me.
I learned to look out
for myself.
But to be perfectly honest,
it still gets lonely.
I can understand that.
My mom actually had a lot
of medical problems
when I was born.
She said I was
her miracle baby.
Her and my dad talked
to a ton of doctors,
but they couldn't have
children after me.
Adoption was
the only option.
But as they got into work
and I got older,
I hung out a lot
with Gran.
Science and adventure
is great, but...
I never really got along
with other kids.
We get along fine.
I've got it!
- What is it?
- This.
It's from
the African tsetse fly.
Or a synthetic version.
If this gets into
the water supply,
people will be sleepy
for days.
- Oh! Oh... Oh!
- Oh!
- Oh, Gran, oh.
Curtis, take this.
- Oh, wow, l gotta go lie down.
Let's go to your room.
Careful.
Gran's asleep.
You need to tell
your parents about all this.
Let's find Junior first.
Then we can get grounded.
Yeah.
Like literally. Grounded.
Come on, that was good!
What's up, man?
- Just waiting for the go-ahead.
- Good!
'Cause this job has been
all sorts of trouble.
What kind
of trouble, cops?
Nah, no police.
Just these weird kids
snoopin' where they're
not supposed to be,
but me and Barney,
we got 'em good.
- Kids, really?
- Yes.
All right, and they had this
little weird-looking monster,
pet-looking thing,
and it attacked us, man!
But, Barney, what did I do?
- You know what I did.
- I know what you did.
I pulled out Pickles'
sleepy-time pistol,
I lined it up, boom!
- Clyde!
- Huh?
Look, you don't gotta yell!
That's how loud
it was though, man.
Yeah, but you don't
gotta scream.
My fault. You right.
My bad. My bad.
So, you shot a little dog
with a tranquilizer gun?
Yeah, man,
all right, look.
I shot him in the back
of the jeep, he fell off,
rolled around.
He's probably
roadkill by now.
Boom.
Hey! Let's ride, people!
Let's go take care
of this business, man.
What's wrong with you?
Come on.
We... we failed him.
We failed him. We promised
we would keep him safe!
We promised we would...
Wendy, I...
I think we need
to call the police.
I know, I know.
This is bigger than that.
Mr. Patterson?
Mr. Patterson,
this is Wendy Jenkins,
my dad works
for you, um...
Yes, Wendy. I know
who you are, slow down.
Tell me what's going on.
Me and Curtis,
we found something big.
Some very bad people
are doing something.
They have this chemical
that can put people to sleep.
Who's Curtis?
The boy who's staying
with us for a month.
Where are you now?
Some type of lab
or headquarters?
I can send you
the location.
I got it. Don't go anywhere.
Your dad and I will be
on our way with the police.
Yes, sir, thank you.
Thank you.
No, thank you, Wendy.
Okay.
Help is on the way.
He told us just
to sit tight and wait.
You're being watched.
Don't do anything
until I get there.
I'm leaving my office now.
I'll call you again
when I'm en route.
Where's my dad
and the police?
Those aren't the police.
No. Much worse.
Y'all kids is in trouble!
Are you sick?
No, man, it's just
my scary voice.
My real voice is too high.
They won't be intimidated.
Well, you sound sick.
I've got some cough drops.
- I'm not sick, man!
- Oh, I know what it is.
- It's your stance.
- Okay.
- You just gotta
stand like this.
- Like this?
- Just gotta drop your knees.
- Drop! Like this?
- Yeah, lift your shoulders.
- Okay.
Yeah. And then
use right here.
- You in trouble.
- You in trouble!
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, like that!
- In trouble!
- You in trouble!
- You in trouble!
- Like this. You in trouble!
- You in trouble!
- Yeah. You in trouble!
- You in trouble!
- You in trouble!
- Enough!
- You did all right, though.
- Tie 'em up.
Knock 'em out
and throw them in the river.
Okay. Okay.
Drown time.
Come here!
No! Get off!
It's time. Let's go!
You won't get away
with this!
I already have.
- Scat, kid!
- Go!
Yeah. Huh. We gonna
drown y'all in the lake.
Ah, oh, Barney.
They just kids, man.
And I'm an orphan.
- What?
- He's an orphan.
- He's an orphan?
- You an orphan?
We can't drown the orphan,
it's almost Christmas!
What type of gift
is that, man?
- It's a horrible one.
- Okay, let me think.
Let me think.
Let me think. Let me think.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
What if, what if,
what if we drop 'em off
in the middle of nowhere
a few miles up the road?
And just leave them there?
It's cold,
we can't do that.
You right. It's December.
You right. It is December.
Uh-- I got it.
Give them some
of that sleeping gas,
just let 'em sit here.
Oh, okay! Yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah.
- Yeah.
- That way
we don't harm 'em.
- No harm, no foul.
- No harm, no foul.
- Cool! Cool!
- Yeah, sweet!
- This is why boss
put you in charge.
- I know.
Ahem. Excuse me, excuse me.
What are you doing?
- I'm just calling the police.
- Give me that phone.
- Hey! Hey, that's mine!
- Give me that! I'm so sorry.
You strong, girl!
Come on, take this.
Hey, this would actually
be a good gift for boss.
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
Hey, Merry Christmas.
- Hey, show some spirit, man.
- Merry Christmas.
- I'll see you later.
- All right, Barney,
I'll see you, man.
Woo!
All right, kids. I'mma
be honest with y'all, okay?
You guys is lucky.
You lucky Barney
has a light heart.
'Cause I wanna see y'all
at the bottom of the lake!
But I was thinkin',
I see myself in you kids.
I don't want y'all goin' down
the same path I went down.
'Cause look at me now! I got
two children tied to a barrel!
I steal gum,
I used to push over old ladies,
and I went to jail!
I didn't pay
my traffic tickets,
but that's a different story.
Hey, man,
I thought I shot you, man!
Come here! Come here,
I got-- Come here!
Oh, he is fast.
Come here!
Oh, I'mma get him!
I'mma get him!
I'm sorry, boss!
Funny man, sleepy.
Junior, we thought
we lost you.
Good to see you,
little buddy.
We gotta get you home.
But first, we have
to stop the mayor.
I go home after next full moon.
Junior stay and help!
I'll make it up
to you, I promise.
Come on.
Oh, grab a mask.
Holiday parade
tonight at 8:00.
You snooze, you lose!
Pay no attention
to the elves wearing masks.
This is perfectly normal.
This is the regular
old Santa Claus...
- Wait here, Junior.
- I will this time. l promise.
We have gifts in the bag
and we're ready to go!
Merry Christmas!
Holiday parade!
Bring your wife
and your kids!
Bring your family,
bring your friends!
Come out and celebrate
the holiday parade
tonight at 8:00!
Just smile and wave, everyone,
just smile and wave.
Do not worry about
the elves wearing masks!
Woo! It's just really
cold outside. It's okay!
Holiday parade
tonight at 8:00!
You snooze, you lose!
Happy holidays, everybody!
We brought some gifts for you.
Hey.
Hey, boss!
We'll be in and out
before anybody wakes up.
Good. No one will
ever know I was here.
Where's Clyde?
I don't know.
He doesn't get his cut
if he doesn't get here soon.
Gotcha.
Now, for what
we really came for.
- Barney!
- I-I'm sorry, boss.
I-I thought I saw something.
I don't see anything.
Our money is waiting,
come on!
Yes, sir.
Sorry! Sorry!
Merry Christmas,
my sleepy little citizens!
Aren't they cute?
Have you set
the explosives yet?
Yep, coming right up.
Boss, that's going
to be really loud.
Who cares?
It's not like it's gonna
wake anyone up.
Time to open some presents.
My phone.
Okay.
Victory,
my friend. We did it.
- We did it.
- The caper of a lifetime.
I think we deserve
to celebrate.
- Look at all that money!
- Woo! Ahh!
- Yes!
- We're rich!
- Say cheese!
- Cheese!
Barney, I think
I'm going to keep
all the money,
and let you take
the blame for all of this.
No, no, no.
Y-you're joking, right?
- It's okay, Barney.
- No! You're joking, right?
- No.
- No, boss, please. No, you--
- I'll see you in prison!
- No! No, boss!
All right, boss!
Good one!
I'll be waiting
around the corner, um...
Go! Come on!
Disperse, disperse!
This way, this way, this way!
- What is he doing?
- I don't know.
He's your dinosaur.
I'm sorry, Pickles.
Daddy can't take you.
Not enough room.
What is that little thing?
I'm a dinosaur.
And you're a bad man.
It's over!
You three have been
nothing but a thorn
in my side.
It's time I remedy
that problem.
Dinosaurs are extinct!
Now to make sure
they stay that way!
Why me?
I wasn't gonna
hurt anyone,
I promise.
We were just playing.
I don't think I wanna know
what happens next.
Oh, thank goodness
you two are safe!
How are you feeling?
I'm feeling great,
but the police are coming.
You've got to get Albert
and his family back
to the forest straightaway.
You heard her, go!
What exactly
happened here?
The mayor planned it all.
The police
will find all the evidence
they need here,
but the location of the lab
is on my phone.
They'll find Clyde
sleeping like a baby.
Come on, Curtis!
Stay out of trouble, you.
I'll try. No promises.
I guess you probably have
to get back soon too, right?
Oh, yeah,
I almost forgot.
Well, we should
probably go.
Can we stay for just
a little while longer?
Yeah.
- Wendy?
- Yeah?
- Thank you.
- For what?
For a month
I'll never forget.
I could always count on you.
I never felt alone.
No matter what happens,
no matter where you go,
we'll always be
here for you.
Like family?
Like family.
No one needs to know.
Tighten
those handcuffs.
Really tight.
Yeah, well, you need to be
in a straightjacket, lady.
Oh!
- I'm telling you guys...
- Did they get home okay?
Yes! And then we made
sure Junior didn't
sneak away this time.
Oh, good! You both
did splendidly.
I told the police
everything.
About the bank, and the lab,
and not quite everything.
- Wendy! Curtis!
- Guys!
Oh, my God.
Oh, my gosh, we were
so worried about you two.
We thought you were downtown,
but Gran called us
and told us everything.
- Are you okay?
- Couldn't be better.
Shame about Samuel.
Take your hands off of me!
I'm still the mayor
of this town!
Dinosaurs!
There were dinosaurs!
Argh, those kids!
They'll tell you! Tell him!
Knock it off.
I'm telling you
the truth!
And one of them even talked.
Did he now?
Dinosaurs? Impossible.
But I'm not crazy!
Well, it looks like
I owe you two kids an apology.
It's okay, Dad.
And you, Tadrina, I'm sorry
I didn't believe you.
I knew you'd come around.
And you, Olivia.
I've just been so caught up
with work I forgot how...
How the impossible
is still possible?
- Right as usual, my love.
- Hmm.
I'd love to meet
the rest of Junior's family.
I think I can make
that happen.
I think our town
needs a new mayor.
- Yeah!
- Yeah.
Curtis?
I really hope that you
enjoyed your time with us.
Yes, I will never
forget you all.
Thank you so much.
What's wrong you two?
It's Christmas eve.
Sorry, I don't really
feel like celebrating.
Come on, you don't
feel like celebrating?
You two just both
helped stop the mayor
from executing his evil plan.
- And more importantly,
no one was hurt.
- That's right.
You know, Curtis,
we've really enjoyed you
being part of our family
this past month.
Wendy?
Wendy?
It's just, Curtis only has
a few days left with us.
I don't want him to go back
to the orphanage.
It's okay, I...
I'm used to the place.
Who wants to open a present?
Curtis? You go first.
I-- I didn't get you
anything.
You being here
is all we need.
Glasses!
Thank you so much!
There's more.
- Huh?
- Hmm.
We saw how well
you two got along.
- Well, after the first
couple of days.
- Yeah.
Now, you two really
take care of each other
like a family should.
And, to be honest,
we've all become
pretty attached to you.
Yeah. That's right, Curtis.
That's why we've decided
to adopt you.
You don't have to go
anywhere, son. You're home.
- If you'll have us.
- Yes! Yes!
- Gah!
- Aw!
Come here, guys.
- Merry Christmas, Curtis.
- Merry Christmas, Wendy.
Merry Christmas, Junior.
