Monster Trucks Page #2

Don't talk about my dad.

That's it for you. That's it.

Meredith:
I feel so squeezed

in here, like trapped.

Like, I might die here

if I don't get one

of those scholarships,

because we can't afford

an out-of-state school.

But there's no way I can

imagine staying here, either.

I mean, did you see

that thing on the news?

About the burning well?

It's like, nobody cares

about how much

damage they're doing

to the environment because

all the money in town

comes from terravex oil.

Hey, you know a lot

about biology, right?

That's what

I'm tutoring you in.

How often do they discover

new species?

Seriously?

I was just watching

a show on this.

Do you watch nat geo?

No.

Oh.

Well, um, they said that

they discover, like,

15,000 new species every year.

So, would it be possible

for there to be,

like, a giant sea creature

here in north Dakota?

Technically, totally.

This whole state was under

an ocean at one point.

So theoretically,

the deep lakes

could have something

like that.

I mean on land.

A giant sea creature on land.

Well, no.

Because its body evolved

in a water environment,

so it wouldn't be able to move

with the effects of gravity

pulling on it.

Did you want to

watch that show?

'Cause I have it

on my dvr.

It's 4:
00.

I'll see you later.

Come on.

Come on.

Hmm?

No, no, no.

Come on.

Stop, stop, stop, stop!

Sh*t.

Ugh!

I'm trying to help you!

Let go of me!

I just saved your life!

See? You would have

been flat as a pancake,

you squishy piece of squish!

What are you?

You want the oil?

You promise not to eat me?

Hey! Don't even touch me!

You got to be kidding me.

You better slow down there.

You're getting

all jacked up.

What?

You don't like that truck?

Okay. Watch this.

See? It can't hurt you.

Ooh.

Whoa!

Can I help you, sir?

Yeah.

We're working for terravex.

We had something crash through

our fences last night.

No one got a good look at it,

but it was big,

whatever it was.

You get any reports

of anything like that

in the last day?

No, dude,

we haven't heard any of that.

Burke:
Nothing strange?

No calls about seeing

some kind of big animal?

There was the monster

in the junkyard.

Or was it a "giant creature"?

Hey! Hey! Guys!

What did I say?

Enough about that.

Well, I'd like

to hear the story.

Well,

there's not much to tell.

It was a false call.

That's what it was.

Where from?

Deputy 1:
It's weathers'

junkyard, off 112.

Hey!

We just talked about this.

Look, I don't see why

you're so worked up

about a prank call.

I don't see why

you are, either.

Oh, quit being a baby.

There we go.

Let's get you to

the sheriff's station.

See what Rick

has to say now.

What the...

Hey! Get back here!

Hey! Whoa! Stop!

Stay! Stay put!

Stay put!

Listen...

Nobody's listening to me!

Not so tough,

are you now, landsquid?

You are so

smelly.

No. No, no, no.

Hey!

Get back here!

Oh, no, no, no.

If you scratch my truck,

so help me!

Can I help you?

I understand you had

an incident last night,

but the local authorities

didn't believe you.

Explain why you care?

We're looking for

something unusual.

Something dangerous.

What are you looking

to do with it?

Make sure

it doesn't hurt no one.

Well, I thought

i heard something.

I didn't see anything.

Must have been a coyote,

or something like that.

Did this coyote come back?

No.

Mind if we take a look?

Yes, actually.

Because it's private property

and you're not allowed to

go in there,

but, uh, go ahead

and look around,

if you want to.

I can make

an exception this time.

Oh.

You know, uh,

the coyote that I saw...

I heard, was, um...

I think it came from

that side of the yard.

Uh... for sure, actually.

From that side of the yard?

Uh... yeah.

Stop it! Stop it!

Will you stop?

Search the whole place.

Ah. The battery's dead.

I'm going to push it over

to the other garage.

You guys just

keep looking around.

Hey!

Give me back my truck!

Hey!

Give me back my truck!

Meredith:
Tripp?

I made flash cards!

Meredith?

What are you...

Look, seriously,

now is a really bad time.

Oh, okay.

Do you think you could

give me a ride home?

I don't live too far away.

But it was kind

of a scary walk

in the dark.

I, uh...

I don't have a car.

It doesn't run.

It's not...

Uh... can you, uh,

just go home?

Please.

It's kind of rude of you

not to give me a ride home.

I came all the way over here

on Friday night

to help you study,

and you're just

sending me away?

How would you feel

if I got abducted

on my way home?

Who's gonna abduct you?

It's not what I mean.

It just...

It doesn't happen out here.

What was that?

Man:
I heard it, too.

Hey, kid!

You should

probably put that in park.

Hey! Why don't you

just get in the truck?

Really?

Yeah. Just get in.

Oh...

Whoop! Oh!

Listen, there's

something going on here.

Really?

Yeah, something crazy.

And I don't even know

how to begin to explain it.

You don't have to.

I mean...

I feel it, too.

Uh, no...

There's...

Just go

if you're going to go!

Go!

Burke:
That kid

knows something.

You know, I can drive manual

if you don't know how.

Okay. Well,

at the end of the hill,

turn right.

Right! I said right!

I'm trying!

Stop the car!

I can't! Nothing's working.

Ah!

Put your hands

on the wheel!

I...

This isn't doing anything!

Yeah. I know!

Whoa...

Tree, tree, tree!

There's a paved road

that goes to my house.

Do you even have your license?

Shh.

Did you just steal this?

Did we just steal this?

Okay, get out!

You hear me?

Get out!

You were the one

who pushed me into your truck!

Give me my truck back!

Who are you talking to?

That!

Whoa!

Whoa! Was that a snake?

Tripp, what is that?

Take a look and see.

Take a look?

He won't hurt you.

What!

Oh, my gosh. What is that?

Tripp!

Ah! Fine,

just keep the truck!

You said you live close,

right? Let's go.

Are you just gonna...

I mean,

seriously, Tripp, what...

It's, uh, moving the truck.

Okay.

My dad barely comes in here,

so you should be

fine for the night.

Think he'd mind if

i borrowed some of this stuff?

I'll pay him back.

I doubt he'd even notice.

But for what?

So I can pry creature here

out of my truck.

Good luck with that.

Yeah. My curfew is in, like,

two minutes, so...

Thank you for

the incredibly weird night!

Please don't let it

near my horse.

Okay.

Hey, hey, hey!

Sit still, would you?

Hey!

Oh.

Huh.

Dowd:
Now,

it's not just this one pocket

that's blocking our oil.

It is a massive,

interconnected ecosystem,

untouched for

millions of years.

I mean,

it's basically a certainty

that there are more of

those things down there.

Prehistoric amphibians,

that can breathe water or air,

living in a network

of underground lakes

and caves.

It's like

the loch ness monster

isn't a myth after all.

Can we access it?

Well, there's a crater lake

on the surface,

and, yeah,

the vents that feed the lake

lead directly down there.
