01:12It sure is a great day to be fishing, isn't it, Dave?
01:15Sure is.
01:16I can see that salmon steamin' on my plate right now, can't you?
01:20You can.
01:21What a day!
01:22What a day. Can you think of anything else you'd rather be doing than fishing?
01:26Sure can't. Look at that ripple over there.
01:29I bet it's gonna be a monster of a catch.
01:52That was a dinosaur, wasn't it?
01:57Sure was. Tyrannosaurus rings.
02:22Emily? This is Mike. Maybe you'd better let me talk to the sheriff. And quick!
02:40A dinosaur allergic. This is the craziest call we've ever received. Dinosaurs have been extinct for millions of years.
03:06Those long Alaskan nights might make it easy for a person to imagine almost anything. Even a dinosaur.
03:12Let's assume we really do come face to face with our big lizard. How are we going to handle it?
03:17Ha! I still think you guys are spinning your wheels. We've got an estimated time of arrival on Flarity Bay of 12 seconds, and then you're all gonna feel like...
03:29Mike. Mike.
03:31You were saying, old man?
03:33Excellency, the work is proceeding according to your plan.
03:38Octon sensors have reported a drop in the heat level, Garax.
03:42That problem is being attended to at this moment, Emperor Meek.
03:48The drill has cleared below the Ong's crust and is returning.
03:55Savage factory.
03:56We have a problem, Emperor.
04:05What is it, Garax?
04:06One of the dinosaurs seems to have escaped.
04:09What? How could that be?
04:11I do not know, Emperor.
04:13Find it. Recapture it, Garax. Or I will see that you pay personally.
04:21Man, look at the size of those footprints.
04:31Dynak, we've got no problems backtracking that dinosaur so far.
04:36Give me a map of Alaska, with a projection of the Tyrannosaurus's route.
04:40The creature's tracks lead toward an extinct volcano, where satellites have picked up heat waves from this same uninhabited area.
04:49Could the volcano be reactivating?
04:52Highly improbable.
04:54Whatever it is, we'll soon find out.
04:57We'll just follow these tracks back to the volcano and solve both problems.
05:00Mayday! Mayday! We're going down!
05:10Come on, Rick. Pull her up! Pull her up!
05:13I'm trying! I'm trying!
05:18Cancel that Mayday.
05:20That wind came out of nowhere.
05:22That wind is called a Willowa.
05:24Thanks for putting a name to it. Whatever you call it. It sure gave me the willies.
05:28Attention, Rick. Further aerial investigation will be impossible. A major weather front moving in.
05:35I could have used that info about 15 seconds ago.
05:39Returning to Flaherty Bay. I hope.
05:41I hope.
05:48When we return home, remind me to change our travel agent.
05:53I hear you, old buddy.
05:55Now, all we have to do is ski down this hill, across that valley, climb that monster ridge over there, and we've got it made.
06:03You make it sound so easy.
06:07What's a few broken legs between friends?
06:10If that cornice comes down, we'll be right in the path of one giant avalanche.
06:13You're right, Lothar, but it's too late to turn back. The slightest sound could trigger an avalanche, so no noise, guys. Let's move out.
06:22Let's move out.
06:23Let's move out.
06:24Avalanche!
06:32Avalanche!
06:33Nice hot-dogging, buddy.
06:35Avalanche!
06:36Nice hot-dogging, buddy!
06:37Airborne!
06:38One thing about being a defender, it's never dull.
07:00Why would anyone dull over an extinct volcano?
07:04Good question, Father.
07:06Looks like a super stadium.
07:08What was that?
07:11I don't want to know.
07:20Losing the heat from the Earth's molten core to thaw out those long frozen reptiles was genius.
07:27Total genius.
07:29One of your most brilliant plans, Sire.
07:32Within a few hours, I shall launch my invasion of prehistoric dinosaurs.
07:42Whoever built this setup's pretty serious about his hothouses.
07:58No!
07:59No!
08:00No!
08:01No!
08:31I've first seen pteranodons in science books.
08:34LJ, watch it! Here it comes again!
08:52Nice work, Mandrake.
08:54Shall we?
09:01No!
09:14Ming and Garax.
09:16Who else would be raising dinosaurs?
09:18The question is, why?
09:20Let's check it out.
09:31This place gives me the creeps.
09:38What in the world are those?
09:40Antrodini, sometimes known as Allisori.
09:43Interesting creatures.
09:45Paleontologists theorize they hunted in packs.
09:48Well, I don't intend to end my days as an hors d'oeuvre for a lizard.
09:52Wait, Flash. Let me try a mind link.
10:00Creatures, hear me.
10:04We come as friends. We mean you no harm.
10:07It worked this time, Jetta, but I don't think it'll work again.
10:17Flash was right. Run for it!
10:20It's a cave!
10:44In the cave!
10:45Jetta, you wanna give your mind link another try?
10:58I've been trying, but the creature's not responding.
11:01What are we gonna do?
11:03Wait, maybe he'll get tired.
11:05So much for that, Barry.
11:32Why are they fighting?
11:33For their dinner.
11:34What dinner?
11:35Us.
11:56Keep your eyes open.
12:03Wish the light.
12:04provided a door.
12:12Ah!
12:14Ah!
12:15Whoah!
12:17Tony?
12:20Jacob?
12:28RYCKU,
12:29You, Jedha, and LJ check out that building on the other side of the lake.
12:33Right, Dad.
12:59Well, well, what have we here?
13:08It appears to be a dinosaur factory.
13:11And look who's running it.
13:16Let's see if I can pick up their voices.
13:18Achtung, you displease me.
13:21That's our boy.
13:22Emperor, there is but one more dinosaur to be thawed out.
13:29Eggs.
13:30Bring on the last creature.
13:44Hmm, what a treasure trove.
13:4750,000 beasts, cased in ice, waiting for me all these millions of years.
13:54I am ordering the attack to begin immediately.
13:58Send my dinosaurs out to destroy the cities of Earth.
14:03There is no way of stopping me now.
14:05Red alert!
14:06Red alert!
14:07Red alert!
14:08This time I shall brook no interference with my plans.
14:11Eliminate them.
14:12Come down, defenders.
14:13Your wish is my command.
14:44Unleash the dinosaurs, trap them down, they must be found!
14:59So that's how Ming turned this place into a giant hothouse.
15:14I don't get it.
15:15Ming drilled down through the Earth's crust 20 miles or so and tapped molten lava.
15:19He's changed the climate from sub-arctic to tropical.
15:22Neat trick.
15:26You will not move.
15:27You will stand publicly still.
15:30You will turn around and face me.
15:33Don't look at him.
15:34He'll turn us into frost people.
15:41How about that one, sports fans?
15:43I give it an 8.6.
15:44Your recovery was uneven.
15:46Come on, I've got an idea.
15:47Let's find that drill.
15:48I don't mind getting wrinkled, but this is ridiculous.
16:01They will never escape now.
16:04I think we're trapped.
16:09Not as long as we can swim.
16:15Swimming would appear to be out of the question.
16:18How are we going to get across?
16:23One log coming up.
16:28I don't think this log is a log.
16:31What is it then?
16:32The great-grandfather of all crocodiles.
16:38Nice crocodiles.
16:42After them.
16:44Into the lake.
16:45I think it's waking up.
16:53That's the end of the line.
16:59Let's find out how the kids are.
17:01Rick, come in.
17:03Dad, you're loud and clear.
17:04Listen, you guys are going to have to destroy that drilling station.
17:08You got it, Dad.
17:09But we're going to need a little time.
17:15We don't have much time.
17:16Ming's breathing down our necks.
17:19We'll do our best, son.
17:21How are we doing?
17:22We're getting there.
17:23LJ's figured out how to run that drill.
17:26Now he has to position it over the shaft.
17:28Then we'll drill straight down at full speed
17:30and have ourselves the world's first custom volcano.
17:39Okay, here goes.
18:09Move it.
18:13Let's move it.
18:31The Earth is cracking.
18:33The volcano is going to explode.
18:39Retreat!
18:40Retreat!
18:41Retreat!
18:51I think our compatriots blew the drilling station.
19:01Just a little bit farther.
19:03How much time do we have?
19:19Zero!
19:19Zero!
19:19Zero!
19:20Zero!
19:21Zero!
19:22Zero!
19:23Zero!
19:24Zero!
19:25Zero!
19:26Zero!
19:27Zero!
19:28Zero!
19:29Zero!
19:30Zero!
19:31Zero!
19:32Zero!
19:33Zero!
19:34Zero!
19:35Zero!
19:36Zero!
19:37Zero!
19:38Zero!
19:39Zero!
19:40Zero!
19:41Zero!
19:42Zero!
19:43Zero!
19:44Zero!
19:45Zero!
19:46Zero!
19:47For me, what is this note of sympathy for me?
20:02Now he will never be able to learn which lizard he has descended from.
