Okay, we've been digging for ages.

Can we cross Little Beach off the list now? Please!

All signs point to the energy source

being right under our feet.

By all signs, you mean Ellis and Dave the Drone?

Assuming the energy source has

altered the surrounding landscape,

Dave scanned Rock Island for unusual topological features.

Little Beach was off the charts.

We found nothing on the surface, so it must be underground.

Oh! This could be...

Oh, bottle cap.

Ow!

What is it, Lila?

Ooh, I hope it's something shiny.

Ahh, stupid bone!

That looks like a fossil.

A dinosaur fossil!

- No way! - Yes way!

Keep digging, there might be more.

Look at this one, it's like a mega-wishbone.

Ooh, if you snap it, might bring you years of good luck.

Don't snap it!

I've never heard of dinosaurs being found on Rock Island.

That's because it's never happened.

There's been no evidence of dinosaurs here. Until now!

Maybe there was just one cool independent female dinosaur

who roamed Rock Island alone.

Solo-saurus.

Strutted around, eating plants, answers to no-one.

I don't think she would have been doing

any roaming or strutting. She seems aquatic.

Not the Eusthenopteron, although it shares similar vertebrae.

The Labrisomus?

What?

Who knew Ellis was a dino-nut?

When did you join team prehistoria?

Always! They're stuff of legends.

I wonder what drew it here?

Usually something powerful in the environment

causes an animal to change its migration patterns.

Something powerful, like the energy source?

This could be the key to everything.

So we keep it to ourselves, we can't tell anyone. Agreed?

- Alright. - Totally.

Who told the Institute?

Ellis!

Sorry.

On Rock Island's Little Beach

the fossilised remains of an unknown aquatic dinosaur

have been discovered.

The scientists are calling the creature the Ellisaurus,

named after one of the plucky teens who made the discovery.

Plucky teens?

I still prefer the Nori-don.

Hey Mum, can we please come in?

I found the first fossil!

I found the second!

You called it a bone! I identified it as a fossil.

If it were up to me,

you guys could come as close as you wanted,

but the Institute's set up some serious protocol around this.

Back in a second.

Raquel's here with Fallon,

and if this creature was drawn to the energy source,

Raquel, these scientists, they could jeopardise everything.

Where's that humming coming from?

Um, what humming?

You must be able to hear it. Listen!

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Yeah, I'm not buying it.

Get your official dinosaur merch right here.

I'm all set.

Well, look at you, Ellis.

Brilliant find by the way.

You have put Little Beach on the map!

I've sold out of t-shirts already.

It was a group discovery.

Do they know what kind of dinosaur it is yet?

No word yet, but I have my theories.

So do I.

How about we figure out why it's here first?

We've cleared the site now.

We're heading back to the Institute

to examine the fossils.

But, I've convinced the discovery team

we need two more volunteers to help. So who's keen?

Yes. Yes. A thousand times, yes!

I mean, sure. Whatevs. Me be chill.

Me too. Unless you need me here, Taylor?

Go.

Brilliant. Well, we'll head off in a couple of minutes.

The humming's back.

You really can't hear it?

No. What could be causing it?

It can't just be me.

There has to be something here triggering it.

Okay boys, let's go.

We'll check out Ellisaurus,

see if there's anything strange about her.

Thanks, guys.

Emily, what's your favourite dinosaur?

Mine's the Dilophosaurus.

They all look so happy.

Once everyone's cleared off,

we'll check out the dig site for the energy source.

Okay. Stakeout time!

Who would've thought you were hiding just under the sand?

So what were you guys

doing out at Little Beach in the first place?

We were looking for... ways to burn off energy.

Nothing like a little sand digging to work up a sweat--

Why are there children here?

It's been authorised.

Are you sure we have all of the fossils?

The team's confident

but we'll get a better idea once we arrange this.

Looking for something specific?

Is there anything unusual about these dinosaur fossils?

- Absolutely! - Really?

Um, it's aquatic, so it's a plesiosaur

rather than a dinosaur which is a land dwelling reptile.

- Is that what you mean? - Absolutely not.

Do you think she's talking about the humming Taylor heard?

Ellis!

Ah, the guard's leaving.

Nori says Raquel's been asking questions about the fossils.

Never a good sign.

Let's get in there

and see if we can find the source of the humming.

It's definitely getting louder.

Surely you can hear it!

Sorry.

That rules out the fossils causing it.

So, energy source?

I don't know...

- Taylor! - Taylor, are you okay?

Taylor!? Taylor!

- Taylor, are you okay? - I'm fine.

And the humming is definitely coming from down here.

Good! A noisy pit of doom.

What else could go wrong?

Doom is actually right. Hide!

What's she doing back here?

I don't know, but I'm guessing she won't be thrilled to see us.

Yeah, well we can't run while Taylor's underground.

Exactly. So what do we do?

I don't know.

Incoming!

Come on, Lila!

Game on, pit of doom!

Taylor?

Down here! The humming's just louder than ever.

Which tunnel?

Left or right?

Just follow my voice.

- Go! Go! Go! - Hey, don't push me.

Taylor?

- Where did she go? - How would I know?

Hey!

Easy on the jump scare!

I'm sorry. It's incredible down here.

Well, things aren't too incredible above ground.

Raquel's back.

I thought she was after the fossils?

What does she want from this site?

Well, we didn't stick around to ask.

I don't think she saw us.

It doesn't feel very stable down here.

Pit of doom, might be a reality.

We should find a safe way to get out before it gets worse.

I'll message Nori.

And tell him to bring a rope, and warn him about Raquel.

Well, whatever's causing this hum is somewhere in this tunnel.

That should be the last of them.

I can't believe we found our very own Rock Island dinosaur.

Do you have a theory

on how this fossil ended up on Rock Island?

I'm almost certain

this is a distant relative of the blue whale.

The artiodactyl.

But that's a land animal.

You think it's something in-between?

Unfortunately we're missing most of the skull,

and we need that to determine its genesis.

Ellis, the others are in trouble.

Emily, I need to go help at the Dive Shop.

I'll be back.

Oh, okay. Well, thanks for your help, Nori.

I have to check that everything that's been found

has been handed over.

Ellis, guard this with your life.

I won't let anything happen to you, Ellisaurus.

The humming's louder than ever.

We must be getting close to the source.

Great, we find it and we get out of this creepy,

swallow-you-alive tunnel.

Another fossil!

It doesn't seem super safe down here,

and if I'm saying that, it's definitely not good.

Again, I vote we go back up.

Wait a minute!

Hey, the humming's stopped.

Really? That's good news.

But it comes back the second I let it go.

Not so good news.

But how does that work?

- I need to rip it out. - To stop the hum?

And to work out what this is and why it's affecting me.

Could the fossil be the energy source?

- It's not budging. - Sounds like a challenge.

It's not moving.

But the roof is.

I think the pit of doom is about to be all doom.

Guys! Come to the opening.

I've brought a rope.

Nori, keep your voice down. Raquel's up there.

Nope. I did a lap. She must've bailed.

Let's get out of here. Now!

Hurry up, guys!

Taylor, hurry! It's not safe.

I can't leave it.

I need to know why it's doing this to me.

Come on, Taylor! The cave is collapsing.

So what brought you here, Ellisaurus?

Your surrounding sediment is-- Ahh!

What are you doing here?

Volunteering. Emily said I could.

Have you seen Raquel Newman?

Nope. Never. What's a Raquel?

I don't have time for games.

I hope I always have time for games.

It keeps my brain active.

I'm going to ask you again, has Raquel been here?

I thought she was always with you.

Obviously that's not the case.

Fallon, can I help you?

I need to speak with Raquel. It's urgent.

She was in here earlier with the fossils,

but she left in a hurry.

That's all I need to know.

- Nice work, Meesh. - Thanks, Nori.

Are you sure Raquel's not about?

She was definitely here.

Taylor, you're up!

Ellis says Fallon is on her way.

Quickly.

Taylor!?

Taylor, where did you go?

Nori!

Taylor, hurry! Fallon's coming!

Just distract her!

- Climb the rope! - One minute.

Guys!

Seems like we're shifting into distraction mode.

One of my favourites.

What are you kids doing here?

Making sure there are no more fossils.

- And there aren't. - Oh well. Home we go!

You three are up to something. What's going on?

I wish there was something going on.

I love it when things go on.

- Raquel! - Leave here, now!

Raquel, stop! You can't go in there.

It's beautiful.

What are you doing here?

You can hear it, too? The humming?

This fossil must be retrieved.

It won't come out. I've tried.

And if you keep pulling the tunnel will collapse.

Get out of here. This has got nothing to do with you.

Raquel, what's going on?

- What's happened to you? - Out!

Stop!

Have you seen Raquel?

Earlier, but...

I'm guessing she didn't find what she was looking for

so she bailed.

Where is Taylor Young?

You lot are always inseparable.

Did she leave with Raquel?

Taylor, no. She's just--

- Going for a swim. - Went home.

Shall we start again?

Raquel, stop!

Taylor?

Can you hear me?

Did you just say something?

You need to leave.

Taylor! Help me, please. Taylor.

- I heard you! - You heard nothing.

Taylor, I need to tell you something.

It's important.

Stop!

Raquel!

Raquel? Are you okay?

We're trapped.

Help!

Help!

Taylor!

Taylor, are you okay?

She's in there?

Is Raquel with her?

I don't know. Can you hear us, Tay?

We need to get down there.

You leave. I'll take care of it.

Our friend's down there. We're not going anywhere.

Hello? Can you guys hear me?

I'm okay, but Raquel's here, we need help.

No! No!

The fossil! It's destroyed.

The humming's stopped.

This is your fault.

If you'd let me to retrieve the fossil alone.

- You put us in danger. - This is yourfault.

Found them! Are you alright?

A bit dusty, but... yes.

Raquel, what are you doing down here?

Taylor, are you okay?

Are you hurt?

We really need to talk.

Taylor, what happened? Are you okay?

Yeah.

What were you doing here? It's fenced off for a reason.

I'm sorry. I went to have a look

and part of the ground just gave way.

We need this area secured. There could be other sink-holes here.

You have some explaining to do.

This will have serious repercussions.

Professor James will be hearing about this.

What was all that about?

And what was Raquel doing in the tunnel in the first place?

Raquel must have heard us down there,

followed us and hid in the other tunnel.

That's why we didn't see her.

All of you underground together. That's cosy.

I'm so jealous. I've always wanted to be telepathic.

Wait, we touched the fossil at the same time

and couldn't read each other's minds.

It's like the humming, only Taylor heard it.

Okay, I can't handle the suspense any longer.

What was Raquel thinking?

It was so strange...

Her thoughts kept getting interrupted

by this creepy hissing sound.

I knew it. Raquel's part snake!

It wasn't a snake sound. It was more like a...

A Madagascan hissing cockroach?

Sure. Let's go with that.

But, when Raquel's voice burst through,

she was pleading for help.

Wait. Help to escape the tunnel?

I think it was more than that.

But then she got cut off by the hissing.

And now the fossil's destroyed.

Any clues on what Ellisaurus is?

Actually it's now called EllisNoridon.

Really?

Emily's confident it's a relative of the blue whale,

which communicates through ultrasonic sounds.

Some scientists believe they might be telepathic.

But touching the skull of a blue whale

doesn't give you mad mindreading skills.

But it gets even weirder.

The sediment surrounding the fossil isn't actually sediment.

Huh?

- It's metal. - What does that mean?

Rock Island isn't an island.

My working hypothesis is, it's a meteorite.

And I believe its presence

has had a strange effect on the environment.

Like why weird things happen on Rock Island?

We might even be able to get an impact date

when Emily gets the fossil carbon dated.

We'd find out when Rock Island was created.

What does that mean for the energy source?

All I can say for sure is,

this Island lives by its own rules.

Do you think Raquel knows this?

No idea. But we shouldn't underestimate her.

You're to turn over all your research

and go to the mainland.

There's nothing you can show me that will change anything.

You might be surprised.

Professor James only allowed you to stay on

because you made a promise about an energy source.

That deal was conditional upon your complete honesty with him.

You have failed to deliver.

The answer is inside there.

Have a look.

This is what you've dragged me all this way to see?

A cave?

There are a number of these across the Island.

I think you're underselling them.

So what am I looking at?

Raquel?

Raquel?
