Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (1993–1994): Season 1, Episode 4 - Siege - full transcript

I knew it.

I told you there'd be
tricolors around here.

What do you know? I didn't even
believe they existed Hammer.

And considering what the black market is
paying for ordinary sandbuck skins.

You got it Vice. With what we make
on these... we'll be set for life.

Qua hoon!

Aw, too bad Hammer.

Something scared away your sandbucks.

Nail his hide!

Have a nice long walk home boys.

In the 26th century, mankind faces
an epic struggle for survival.



The forces of nature have
spun wildly out of control.

Mighty cities have crumbled.

And the dinosaurs have returned
to reclaim the earth.

In this savage land,
one man stands alone.

Jack Tenrec.

Defending humanity
in a world gone mad.

A world where only the strong survive.

A world of…

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs!

Whole herd of beautiful
tricolor sandbucks.

And he scared him off!

Best score I've ever
made and he ruined it.

I owe you for that Tenrec!

I owe you big!



I've had it with Tenrec
and his balance of life.

He wouldn't act so tough if he didn't
have that garage to run and hide in.

So, what are you saying Hammer?

Simple. Tenrec took from us...

... so we're gonna take from him.

Take what? His garage?

Man that's crazy!

Yeah... it's a fortress.

Nobody's ever been able to get in there.

Maybe that's just because
they've been doing it wrong.

We'll be at the garage in
less than five minutes Hannah.

I appreciate it Kirgo.

I just bet you do.

Oh don't start that again.

All I want from Jack Tenrec is
the use of his carrier zeke's.

Sure it is.

Until they get telegraph line
strung to Wasoon I have no choice.

They get nervous if I don't
make a report once a week.

Uh-huh.

Look, just keep your eyes on the...

What's going on over there?

Qua hoon! A poacher boat.

I guess we scared them off.

Their hightailing it out of there.

Wait a minute.

There's something else.

By golly someone's adrift!

Help me! You've got to... help me!

Please hide me from the
poachers. If they find me...

Poachers? The poachers are after you?

I... I wanted out.

First chance I got, I stole a boat.

Trying to make it to a
settlement on the coast.

They chased me. Looted my boat.

They thought they got me.

I got to get to a
settlement, to find someone,

someone who knows Jack Tenrec.

I've got to warn him.

Warn him?

He's in great danger.

That's the last one Jack.

All systems check Mustafa.

Jack, Mustafa, go down to
the dock, you've got trouble.

What's up Kirgo?

- Jack, this little lady...
- Lady?

Don't hand me that. I've
seen her with the poachers.

Why did you bring her here?

She was adrift. We just
couldn't leave her out there.

Save it.

I don't want an explanation.

I just want her out of here, and fast.

I'll give her something
for the provisions,

but then she shoves off.

Look out Jack!

Hey!

Poachers!

Hang on Jack. We're coming!

Jack! Some of them are getting in.

- Jack! What the devil is that?!
- The cutter?

That's Hermes, he's my watchdog.

Aren't you boy?

So, were they the visitors
you came to warn Jack about?

You came to warn me?

Well, yes.

Kirgo don't we have
some supplies to offload?

Yeah, right.

I'll give you a hand.

And I have a letter to mail.

- Strange coincidence don't you think?
- What?

She comes to warn you about an attack.

And bingo, an attack
happens just like that.

Hermes be careful of those valves.

Actually you probably led
the poachers right to us.

By bringing her here in the first place.

Hermes!

But I'm glad you brought her.

She's quite a fighter.

Just mail my letter and I'll
get out of your hair. Okay?

Wasoon.

Thanks.

What's the matter?

I just think you're little
quick to trust that girl.

You know me, I don't trust anybody.

I think that attack was just
a test of your seaward defenses.

I heard them planning an
approach from higher ground.

And you just overheard all this?

How convenient.

Why do you think they called
me a traitor when I wanted out?

They said I knew too much.

They said I'd never leave them, ever.

Jack we've got company.

Qua hoon!

I didn't think there'd be so many.

How do you think they'll come at us?

A direct assault. They talked
about ways of bridging the moat.

We can't let them in here. If they get

their hands on this power source they

can hold the City in the Sea and all

surrounding settlements up for ransom.

Kirgo you've got about five minutes to

get them on the boat,
headed for the city.

Who said I was going anywhere?

Look, this is our responsibility.

Jack you took me in. I won't repay
you by running away when you need me.

Looks like we're all with you Jack.

Okay, this is it then.

Close all armored doors.

Check lava pressure.

Lava pressure optimum.

Water pressure optimum.
Ready the lava launchers.

Just lay a stream in front
of them to warn them off.

On my mark.

00:11:46,909 --> 00:11:47,909

00:11:47,909 --> 00:11:48,909

00:11:48,909 --> 00:11:49,909

00:11:49,909 --> 00:11:50,909

00:11:51,090 --> 00:11:52,109
Now!

Malfunction!

Mine's dead too Jack.

We just ran diagnostics this morning.

What could have happened?

The lava feed has been
closed off somehow.

You cutter, Hermes. When his toy got
wedged behind that valve by the docks.

Could that open it?

You're right. It's twisted
right out of alignment.

What do we do now Jack?

Can you open the
pipeline someplace else?

Yes, I can open the feed at the source.

You have got to be kidding.

You're not actually going in there?

You don't understand Hannah.

This garage is built
on an active volcano.

If the lava flows is blocked
and the pressure builds up,

this whole place will blow.

Probably wiping out everything
within a hundred-mile radius.

I've got no choice.

I'll help you Jack,
just tell me what to do.

Thanks Mikla. The best thing you could
do is be ready on the launcher deck.

Jack, be careful.

Don't worry I'll be
okay in this lava suit.

Kirgo, get her out of here.

Oh right.

Ok little lady, let's get upstairs.

Are you sure I can't help?

Be careful Jack.

What's happening?

That's all we need.

They're bombarding us Jack, hurry!

Fire!

Look, his suit it's already
turning blue, he's overheating.

Jack you've got to hurry.

I'm going as fast as
I can in this clunker.

Jack!

No!

I can barely see through the visor.

His suit is turning black. Do something.

Jack, you're looking at
meltdown in two minutes.

He's running out of railing.

He's in serious trouble.

Jack!

I can't see.

Jack, Jack listen to me.

You've gotten yourself turned around.

The valve is behind you.

All you've got to do is turn around and

follow my directions,
I'll guide you to it.

Let's get him guys. Charge!

Good, now it's five paces
ahead. Count them out.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

That's it, you're doing fine.

To your left, Jack. About
12 inches to your left.

- That's it!
- Made it!

Now c'mon Jack. I'll
talk you back inside.

Kirgo, Mikla. Let 'er rip!

Yes sir!

Now what? Fleet the moat?

Not so fast. I don't
like the sound of things.

It's too quiet.

Hold it right there!

Now drop them, or your friends
here take a swim in some lava.

Let's get out of here!

Coming up, slither burgers!

Hermes look out!

Hermes!

Back off Tenrec!

Unless you wanna to see
something more happen to your pet.

He can't get away with this Jack.

What do you want Hammer?

From you Jack? Like,
everything you've got.

Lock him up!

Now what'll they do?

Open the drawbridge I guess.
Let down the defenses.

Yes where every poacher in the
wilderness can just waltz in here

and pick the place clean.

They'll never figure it out.

What if they try to make us talk?

We won't say a word.

They could get pretty nasty.

After the lava pit nothing scares me.

Ok Tenrec, the drawbridge, open it.

You gotta be kidding if you
think I'm gonna help you.

Maybe you won’t, but she might.

Get your hands off me!

What are they doing to her?

Jack we gotta do something.

Relax they'll be back soon.

You're pretty cool about all this.

Hey, look who's back?
00:19:18,329 --> 00:19:20,099
Where's Mikla? What
have you done to her?

Back off!

Who's next Hammer?

Never mind, I got a much better idea.

Take them to the lava control room.

How does he know about all this?

Mikla must have spilled the beans.

Poor kid. What did they do to her?

I'll bet it gets a bit warm out
there in the lava pit, ain't Jack?

Especially without a protective suit.

You do have some sort
of plan, don't you Jack?

Let's see. This shouldn't
be too hard to figure out.

Wrench, come here and read this.

Lava... pit... do... door... open.

That's the one!

Last chance Tenrec.

He's not closing the outer chamber door.

He's not following full procedure.

Good plan Jack.

What procedure? What plan?

Forget it Hammer.

Suit yourself.

You can let the rest of us
in on the plan anytime guys.

Just hold your breath.

What?

Come on over Mikla.

You don't want to miss the fun.

This was your idea.

What the devil?

What's that?

The safety override system.

If the control room gets too hot,

you have to cool it down, fast.

Uh, Hammer I...

I'll get you Tenrec!

Everybody okay?

Some plan Jack.

We either fry or we drown.

Admit it Tenrec, I was right
to be suspicious of Mikla.

And you were taken in by her.

I knew she was a phony
right from the start.

Alright, so that's why you let
her in on all your secrets?

I let her in on no more
than I wanted her to know.

I wanted her and her friends to know

they better not tackle
this garage again.

And you'll notice, I didn't let her
know about safety override systems.

What's wrong Kirgo? Still won't start?

I can't figure it out.

Mustafa, take a look
below decks will ya?

Face it Dundee, I suspected all along.

Just as I suspect that you were jealous.

I was what?

I, think we found the engine problem.

Something's jammed in there.

Hermes.

No... No... Put me down Hermes!
