Will could you please be quiet,

Dr. Marshall needs silence.

I can feel something inside me say

I really don't think

you're strong enough, no!

Really feel it in my forearms.

Yeah, you usually have to

pay for something like this.

Holly you should sit on this.

What?

What is it Chaka?

What'd you say?

What's he saying?

I don't know if this is anything

I've ever learned...Sarisa?

Sarisa Taka?

Chorizo Tacos?

Are you saying Chorizo Tacos?

Don't play around

because I am super hungry.

Sarisa

-?

What the hell does that mean?

Well...

I'm afraid we'll never know.

Okay...

Oh sh*t it's not Chorizo Tacos.

No immediate danger,

cold blooded and slow.

I repeat, no immediate danger.

Would you stop that?! Please!

You are freaking me out!

They're everywhere!

Just like zombies!

That's how zombies get you! Volume!

We're all gonna die!

Like hell...

I'm gonna take at least one

of these bastards with me,

even if you have to choke

to death on my skull!

What you want some too do you?

What are you guys doing?!

One second...

What in the hell?

Get in!

Wait stand down Holly.

Hang on...

Hang on I think we're safe.

They don't seem to be able to

make it through the entrance.

Thank god for that.

That one keeps peering into my soul.

This is just fantastic.

Now we're just going to stand in here

and suffocate in this tiny little...

Huge...

Thingy...

Wow that is an efficient use of space.

Like Snoopy's dog house.

Look, there's a gold one.

Let's stomp his head in.

Do not fear me.

I am Enik

The Altrusian.

Thank Vindok you've come

to my aid Rick Marshall.

You know me?

Of course.

Even in the farthest reachest of the

universe we've seen your Matt Lauer video.

I am a prisoner in

this Land of the Lost.

Only you can help me escape.

The fate of the universe depends on you.

Well...

Thats very flattering...Enik.

But I think you've found the wrong guy.

No Rick Marshall, I have summoned you here

specifically to help me stop an evil mad man who

has already conquered my world.

And now plans to conquer yours.

His name is...

The Zarn.

I am the Zarn, heed my

warning or be destroyed.

The Zarn became obsessed with using the power

of these crystals to conquer the universe.

If he is not stopped he will

open a doorway to your world,

and lead his army of Sleestak on

a rampage across time and space.

He must be stopped.

Enik...

Buddy...

I'm a scientist, you're a scientist.

I think together you and

I could figure this out.

You mustn't touch the crystals!

Wrong manipulation of the crystals

could turn time and space inside out.

What do you need from us?

The Zarn lacks only one

thing to enact his evil plan.

A device to amplify tachyons and

unleash the full power of the crystals.

Well Marshall has created a device

that isolates tachyon interference.

Yeah I did that.

Of course, with tachyon particles focused

along the proper temporal vector...

...a stable passage way could be opened

to any point in the space time continuum.

You and I are so smart.

Rick Marshall, I knew

instantly you could help me.

Thank you.

You are a truly advanced intellect.

I don't know how you

manage amongst these others.

I don't know how I do it

either, I really don't!

Excuse me?!

You have this tachyon amplifier?

I lost it on the way in, I don't

know where...it could be lost in time.

On the contrary I detect it nearby.

It...

Strange...

I cannot precisely pin

point its location it...

...moves.

Leave it to us.

If it's out there.

We'll find it.

Not so fast amigo.

Little rule I live by.

Never trust a dude in a tunic.

You live by that rule?

Yes.

It's never led me astray.

Come on Enik, are you

well enough to travel?

No, my place is here in the pylon.

I must protect the crystals.

If you wish to return home these crystals

are the doorway. Your device is the key.

Find it before the Zarn does.

Bring it to me, and rescue us all.

Rescue the uni-verse.

Alright everyone gather around.

Let's go, chop chop.

Hustle up.

Marshall did you just make that?

Yeah, I'm a bit of a

miniatures enthusiast.

It's very impressive.

Thank you.

Yeah well I see some

obvious scaling issues...

I think its pretty damn good.

Alright.

We are here.

As you can see desert, forest...

What's this look like?

The cave.

That's the cave, that's

where we're living.

Standard volcano.

Okay?

Now, I will tether Will to

this hot air balloon right here.

Okay, it will be fitted with

a crude tachyon reflector array

that I fashioned out of a thermal

blanket and cell phone charger.

I don't remember ever

volunteering for that.

Holly!

You and I will follow Will's directions as he

searches for the tell-tale ping of the missing,

and still presumably

operational tachyon meter.

Oh god, he's close.

I've taken care of that.

During the course of my professional

career I've done extensive research with,

reptiles and various birds of

prey of which Dinosaurs are.

Well that's disputable.

Please be quiet.

They have a very acute sense of smell.

Now, while I gathered this strictly for

genetic research to be used upon our return,

I think it would prove

wise to use this now.

Hadrosaur urine.

We're going to cover our-

Whoa, wait.

What is that?

Hadrosaur urine.

How'd you get that?

Well while you are sleeping,

I'm out gathering research.

Okay?

This was to be used

for genetic engineering.

And I was going to write a

report on kidney function.

But now it'll just be

camouflage, we'll all blend in.

Okay? So...

We will cover ourselves-

I'm sorry, so sorry.

I'm just trying to figure this out.

So you've been gathering urine?

Yes, what's the problem?

That means you stood under

a dino dung, with a bucket.

If you want to be technical and reduce

it to it's basis element...yes I was.

How'd that work out for you?

Are you honestly asking me?

Yeah.

It's very peaceful.

Just a little bit like fly fishing.

Just out there in the night air still

calm, and then zing you get a big catch.

Okay so, we'll cover our bodies in urine, and

we'll be virtually undetectable to all Dinosaurs.

Here they come, should've

thought of this a long time ago.

That's refreshing.

Make sure to ingest some

get that in the blood stream.

Don't do that.

Okay, whose next?

Really?

It's not that bad.

Just starting to burn my eyes a

little bit did not plan for it.

It get's up in the nostrils

too, you do not want that.

That's early morning stuff.

That is strong.

Maybe a second splash will

reduce some of the effects.

Immediately made it worse.

Where's my laser pointer? Nevermind.

We will probably have to be doing...

Whose that?

Maybe we should just follow him.

Nice model though.

Yeah fine, let's forget my model

and let's follow the monkey.

Shut up Chaka!

Are we there yet?

You find this funny Chaka?

This is the damn Bhutan

death march out here.

My god...

Absolutely incredible.

This must be the main

entry point into this world.

It's like...a cosmic lost and found.
