[THUNDER CRASHING]

It doesn't sound good. Hold up a second.

Something's wrong with the buggy.

- What's wrong, major? - Feels like the transmission.

I'll check it out.

Maybe we ought to move to higher ground first.

Wouldn't wanna get caught in this canyon when the storm breaks.

Take it easy, Seattle. That storm's miles away.

Doesn't matter. In desert country...

...the ground can't soak up rainwater fast enough.

The runoff heads straight for any low area.

A storm can cause a flash flood in canyons miles away.

You can't assume you're safe just because it's not raining where you are.

In case you haven't noticed, this isn't Arizona.

- I'm from New Mexico. - Let's head for higher ground.

[ENGINE SPUTTERING]

Come on. Hold together.

Hmm?

[GASPS]

EC'CO: Huh? BONNER: Huh? Uh-oh.

[GASPS]

[MOANS]

BONNER: Come on.

[TIRES SQUEAL]

EC'CO: There, up ahead.

[TIRES SQUEAL]

[BONNER GRUNTING]

[TIRES SQUEAL]

They're stuck and the water's rising.

BONNER [CHUCKLES]: Wow.

We should probably set up camp.

EC'CO: Looks like I'll have to tear the power train down...

...and see if we can repair it.

Well, at least we won't have trouble finding water.

[ANIMAL MEWING]

Huh? Huh?

Sounds like a kitten.

It is a kitten.

[MEWS]

Sort of. You're safe now, little fella.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

[PURRING]

SEATTLE: It must have gotten washed out of its den.

- I hope it's all right. - I help.

[SQUEAKS]

I think I'll call it Flotsam.

Oh, yeah. Like Flotsam, Mopsam and, uh, Cotton-tail.

That's "Flopsy" and "Mopsy."

[GASPS]

ALL: Huh?

EC'CO: Oh.

[STACEY GASPS]

Hey, I was a kid once.

- Don't get too attached to that thing. HARRISON: Hmm?

We don't know anything about it.

[SEATTLE GIGGLES]

I know one thing, it's probably hungry.

- I wonder what it eats. - I'm kind of hungry myself.

[SLURPS]

Ah.

Huh?

Aah.

Hey, get your own munchies.

HARRISON: Huh?

[HARRISON YELLS]

- Hey. - It seems to like the same things you do.

Must be a primitive life form.

[CREATURE SCREECHING IN DISTANCE]

HARRISON: What? STACEY: Oh.

[BAT SCREECHING]

Oh, no!

SEATTLE: Flotsam.

Harrison, I need you airborne.

This animal's part of the food chain, right?

It was, until Seattle found it.

Oh.

How you eat chain?

It's not a real chain, Draga.

The food chain is the path energy follows.

As it passes from one living thing to another...

... beginning with plants, and then the herbivores that eat them...

... and then to the carnivores.

[SEATTLE GRUNTS]

SEATTLE: Harrison!

Up there, on the ledge.

[ROARING]

I think you're gonna lose your lunch.

[ROARS]

[BOTH ROAR]

It's getting a little crowded up here.

[SQUEAKING]

Hey.

Unh, I think I'm gonna lose my lunch.

Or worse.

[HARRISON SCREAMING]

[SCREAMING]

Got to shut down.

[GRUNTS]

Phew, that's better.

[YELLS]

Time this just right. Now!

[GRUNTS]

Ow!

SEATTLE: Is Flotsam okay? - I'm fine too.

- In case you're interested. - It's all right, Flotsam.

You're safe now. I'll take care of you.

[SIGHS]

[HARRISON SNORING]

[HOWLING]

[SEATTLE GASPS]

Ow. Gee, Harrison, that's worse than your snoring.

- You should put that animal outside. - He might get hurt.

He keeps howling like that, he might get hurt in here.

You not harm creature. I sense it.

[GROANS]

Yeah, well, if it howls again, it's outside.

And think about what you're doing, Seattle.

You adopt something and you're responsible for it.

They really like you. I can tell.

[SNIFFING]

[MEOWING]

Mm, what is it now?

Come right back, okay?

[SNIFFING]

[YAWNING]

[SHOUTS]

The food supplies.

Something ate everything!

EC'CO: Maybe Flotsam ate it.

No way. He couldn't possibly eat that much. He's too little.

[FLOTSAM GROANING]

[ALL GASP]

SEATTLE: Flotsam?

[HARRISON YAWNING]

No. Unh!

[STACEY GASPS]

Look how much he's grown.

It's highly unusual for such a genetically complex creature...

...to reach full size that rapidly.

Maybe this isn't full size.

BONNER: Seattle, we need to talk.

I know I can't keep him if he keeps growing.

You sure you can keep him now?

When I was a little girl, I had a dog that big.

[CRASHING]

SEATTLE: Oh, no. BONNER: Huh?

SEATTLE: Okay, the dog wasn't that big.

Well, see he doesn't do anything to endanger the team.

- I'll take care of him. HARRISON: Hey.

SEATTLE: Huh? HARRISON: Oh, no.

STACEY: Flotsam! EC'CO: Hey!

Flotsam, sit.

[GIBBERING]

[GROANS]

[SHOUTS] Flotsam, sit!

[GIBBERING]

Close enough.

See the stick, Flotsam?

[GRUNTING]

Go get it, boy.

[SNIFFING]

[SHOUTS] Flotsam, no!

[GROWLING]

[GASPS]

[THUDS]

[HARRISON GRUNTS]

Hey.

Sorry. I was trying to teach Flotsam how to fetch.

[HARRISON SIGHS]

You have to show him what you want him to do first.

- Here, try it again. - See the stick, Flotsam?

[SEATTLE GRUNTS]

Fetch the stick, Flotsam.

- No, like this. - Wha--?

HARRISON: Watch me, Flotsam. SEATTLE: Huh?

[PANTING]

Hmm.

[MUMBLES] See? There's nothing to it.

[GROANS]

If only he was housebroken.

[GROWLING]

BONNER: Easy, fella.

We're gonna go and try to scare up some food.

You stay at camp and help Ec'co with the buggy.

Why? I could cover a lot of ground on the bike.

I'm taking the bike. You've got responsibilities here.

[SIGHS]

I know.

EC'CO: Can you hand me that torque wrench?

SEATTLE: Sure, that's what I'm here for.

EC'CO: Thank you. How about a Phillips head?

In the toolbox.

SEATTLE: Flotsam.

[PANTING]

The screwdriver, bring it here.

[SNIFFING]

That's it.

Good boy.

Ew. Ugh!

Is that drool?

[GIGGLES]

Okay, Flotsam.

SEATTLE: Good boy! Now, come get another one.

What if we recalibrated the matrix?

That would throw off the synchros.

[GRUNTING]

[SNIFFING]

BONNER: What's the holdup with the repairs?

You said it would only take a couple of hours.

It took a while to find some of the parts...

...and clean the sand off.

Heh, somebody buried them.

"Somebody"?

We can set up some lights and finish tonight.

Good. I wanna leave by morning.

There's not a lot of food here.

This stuff's not so bad.

Is it, boy?

[YELLS]

[THUDS AND GRUNTS]

- Huh? - Ow.

[GIGGLES]

So, what are you gonna do with Flotsam when we leave?

Take him with us. I can look after him.

You mean you want to look after him.

But that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.

- Flotsam's from this planet. HARRISON: Hey.

He belongs here.

HARRISON: Ouch.

Oh, no.

Can't you see how impossible it is?

Because of dog.

When I was a little girl, I found a stray dog.

But when we moved to the city...

...my parents said we couldn't take it with us...

...so I had to leave it with my cousin.

It wasn't fair.

They did what was best for your dog.

And that's what you have to do for Flotsam.

SEATTLE: Huh?

[HARRISON LAUGHING]

[BEEPING]

[FLOTSAM HOWLING]

[STACEY MOANS]

The humans are a few miles from here, in a canyon.

A fitting place for their last stand.

We storm the camp as soon as this detonates.

[BOMB BEEPING]

It will go right to the humans' tent.

[BOMB BEEPING]

[SNIFFING]

[SCREAMING]

[GROANING]

[YELLING]

Tlak'kahn.

HARRISON: Huh? SEATTLE: Flotsam.

[YELLS THEN GROANS]

[ALL SHOUTING]

We're trapped.

[HARRISON GRUNTING]

This way.

STACEY: Oh. SEATTLE: Ah!

[GRUNTS]

We've got to get to the vehicles.

HARRISON: Major! - We can't reach them.

Up the canyon, quick.

[GASPS]

Flotsam. Come on, boy.

[DA'KYLL GROANS]

- Flotsam. - Come on.

He can take care of himself.

[ALL GRUNTING]

Well? What are we waiting for?

- Wings. If I had mine with me. STACEY: Huh?

Do you have any useful suggestions?

There's only one way out.

HARRISON: And they've got that sealed off.

[THUNDER CRASHES]

You can't escape.

It's only a matter of time.

Da'kyll's right. We're trapped.

But we can't surrender to the Tlak'kahn.

Even if some of us get away, without the vehicles...

...they'll eventually hunt us down.

Well, if we're gonna make a break for it, we'd better do it now.

Wait. Look.

If a storm comes, this canyon could flood.

Perhaps we should pull back.

Nonsense. The rain is miles away.

Are you sure, commander?

[SHOUTS] Warriors, retreat!

[ALL SCREAMING]

[ALL SPUTTERING]

Doesn't have to be raining where you are to cause a flash flood.

[CHUCKLES]

Boy, are those Tlak'kahn dumb.

- Do you think they'll survive? - Yes.

Maybe somebody will pull Da'kyll out of the water and adopt him.

Humph.

Flotsam.

Oh, I thought I'd lost you.

Hey.

Ugh, now I smell like a wet dog.

[SNIFFS]

You're right. You do smell better.

BONNER: It's your decision, Seattle.

Your responsibility.

I know. And I know being responsible for an animal means...

...doing what's best for it.

Even if that's not what you want.

It belongs here in the wild...

...with his own kind.

[GIGGLES]

I just wish he could understand why I'm leaving him.

Now he understands.

[GIBBERING]

[HOWLING]

BONNER: Huh? STACEY: Huh?

[HOWLING IN DISTANCE]
