Primeval: New World

Spider, are you okay?

Check this.

What the hell?

We've got to go find it.

Dammit!

Okay, I'll go find it.

You get that video out there.

Primeval New World 01x09 Breakthrough Original Air Date January 22, 2013

I'm not sure it's good for company morale

for people to see you staring into space.

Not to mention your morale.

I'm doing okay.

And the company?

Well, I think I can stave off bankruptcy

if I devote myself full-time for the next three months

to updated product and aggressive sales calls.

Well, your enthusiasm is inspiring.

Thanks.

Truth is, I'm not much of a cheerleader.

That was always Ange.

Doing this without her just feels weird.

Have you talked to her at all?

She's not coming back, if that's your question.

Do you have a plan to replace her?

You know what I mean.

The job.

Yeah, I'm getting resumes.

But anyone smart enough to do that job

will be smart enough to find out that

that old chem bunker has been converted

into the headquarters of my dinosaur-hunting team.

Well, that just makes us sound glamorous.

Have you called Mac?

No.

I'm giving it some time.

How much?

I don't know.

I mean, what am I supposed to do?

Give him a call?

Leave him a voice mail

explaining that the real reason we're friends

is that because in some alternate reality,

he went back in time and saved my life?

I think his frozen body in the basement

is actually the harder part to explain.

Do you know anything about cost reports?

Not a damn thing.

Hey, guys?

We got a problem.

A dinosaur problem?

A triceratops?

In West Van?

Looks like the cost reports will have to wait.

Wait, how do you know what kind of dinosaur?

Did you notice the hit count?

When I first came upstairs, it was under 9,000.

Now it's over 35,000.

That's a lot of eyeballs.

No chance it's a hoax?

No, I'm pretty plugged in

to the homebrew animation community.

This isn't a fake.

This is a "freakin' real dino."

And it was taken today?

A couple of hours ago.

I've got a sniffer running on all dino stuff.

I caught it early.

So a few thousand people click on a dinosaur video,

in between piano-playing cat and faceplant-of-the-week.

No one'll take it seriously.

I'm not worried about some guy in Singapore

tweeting it to his friends.

I'm worried about locals recognizing that skate park

and going out there to check it out.

Can you take this down?

Yeah, with a little effort.

I mean, I'm on it.

I'll grab the gear.

Let's get out there.

What's the status on the anomaly detector?

Oh, we're still 12 hours away from operational.

Any way I can help?

No.

We'll be okay.

Once we're in the general vicinity,

the handheld can get us the rest of the way.

What about Mac? Are we going to call him?

No.

Let's leave him alone.

Okay.

Not sure how much these'll do

against a full-grown triceratops.

This is bigger than anything we've been up against before.

That's comforting.

It's a prey animal.

A herbivore.

There's a good case that it'll just den down,

if it can find a safe spot.

Somewhere with edible plants and water.

Just so long as it doesn't spew magic mushrooms

all over me,

I'm good.

There.

Just past the baseball diamond.

That's where it was.

Maybe we can pick up its trail.

I think we know who shot the footage.

You all right?

I'm good, man.

Hey!

You're the freakin' real dino guys, right?

Yeah, cool, huh?

Want me to sign your shirt?

You guys know which way it went?

I tried going after it, but it was gone.

Evan...

Hey, Toby.

Two news crews just showed up.

This thing's getting out of hand.

What do you mean "getting"?

The video is mirrored on over a dozen different websites.

"Freakingrealdino" is trending on Twitter.

I can't shut down the whole Internet

and the local news.

Okay, um...

Call Ken Leeds.

See if he can help.

Copy that.

Hi, yeah, can I speak with Ken Leeds?

What is it regarding?

Uh, tell him that I need help containing a situation.

What is the nature of the situation?

Can I just talk to him? This is sensitive.

All matters that this office handles are sensitive.

You'll have to be more specific.

Who are you?

I'm Warrant Officer Lisa Merriweather.

I'm the lieutenant's new assistant.

Oh, okay, great.

So assist him

and let him speak with me.

Not until you tell me what it's regarding.

Fine!

A TV crew is about to interview people

who have seen a live triceratops

for a special report on the news

tonight.

Now can I speak with him?

I'll be sure he gets your message.

That thing is so big,

I'm surprised no one's found it yet.

You're right.

It's huge.

There.

It came this way.

I'm getting a reading from this direction.

Great. We've left the crowd behind,

and now we're trespassing.

Why is it that some people feel they need

10,000 square feet of personal space?

Well, a lot of tech guys live in this area.

We're not the most sociable bunch

to begin with.

This is pushed outward.

It looks like there are tracks here

going back and forth.

Well, maybe they're on vacation.

When do we ever get that lucky?

The anomaly should be just past that arch somewhere.

What kind of address is that?

"Alpha."

The first letter of the Greek alphabet.

That's not an address, unless the guy who lives here

is trying to make a serious statement

about his position in the pack,

in which case, peeing on the door every morning

might be quicker.

It's the symbol

for the fine structure constant of the universe,

and that right there is bad news.

Why?

This place belongs to Howard Kanan.

Guy's a legend.

Key patents in mobile communications,

medical imaging,

remote oil-field sensing...

Every arena he worked in,

he was brilliant.

Certifiable genius.

Genius?

Like he could understand how that thing works?

We've got to find that creature

and get it out of here before Kanan sees it.

If he knew, he'd want in.

Do you know that he buried

every single company that got in his way?

You know a lot about him.

Yeah, we've crossed paths.

I'm lucky I still have my company.

Evan Cross!
