- (CHUCKLES)

(GROWLS)

I got him!

- Gavin?

- Grace?

(ROARS)

- No! No!

- Stop!

Get those kids out of here!

Don't kill him!

Tranq's only.

- MEACHAM:
Gavin, what are you doing?

- GRACE:
He's not dangerous.

He's not gonna hurt him.

Stop.

Elliot, no!

Stop!

Elliot!

No!

(PETE GRUNTS)

MAN:
Take the shoot!

(PETE GRUNTING)

Stop! Elliot!

(SHOUTING) Fly!

Come on, go! Come on!

Elliot...

(BELLOWS)

Watch out!

What is that?

Daddy?

Natalie?

Gavin, what is this?

This is the Millhaven Dragon.

And I just caught it.

(SLOW INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

What's the matter, boys?

Ain't you ever seen a dragon before?

Come on!

Bring it to the warehouse!

In the warehouse!

You're gonna have to wait

or bring him over here.

Pete, Grace didn't mean

for this to happen.

She's a beauty, isn't she?

Or he.

It.

Whatever it is.

Just trust me.

Get here as quick as you can.

Natalie.

I need you to wait here

with Pete for a minute, okay?

- What's gonna happen to Elliot?

- I don't know.

I'm gonna go find out, okay?

I just need you to stay here, okay?

Will you stay here for me?

- Okay.

- Thank you, sweetie.

Pete, we'll fix this.

I promise.

Okay then, now you caught it.

What do you plan to do with it?

- What am I gonna do with it?

- Yeah.

I know exactly what I'm gonna do with it.

(CHUCKLING)

You don't have a clue, do you?

Okay, look, I haven't got it

totally figure it out yet.

But I'll tell you this much.

This thing is gonna put on the map.

I mean, folks would come

from miles to see this.

Jack can have the mills.

The dragon is mine.

No. No, no, no.

Stop. Stop.

(BELLOWING)

What are they doing to him?

They're trying to find out

what is and where he came from.

They never seen him before.

PETE:
He came from the woods,

just like I did.

Why can't they just let us go?

We'll go away.

We'll never see anybody again.

It'll be just like it used to be.

But I don't want to never see you again.

Are you insane?

You have no idea what

this thing is capable of.

And you do?

Yeah. He wakes up and take

the whole town and everyone in it.

Jack, he's a monster.

He's not a monster.

He's an animal.

He's hurt and he's scared.

Grace, wait.

You need help.

You need Pete.

Did you see that?

- Did you just see that?

- I sure did.

(POLICE SIRENS WAILING)

Let's go.

Up there.

- Sheriff. Sheriff.

- Jack.

No, get out the way.

Back up.

Sheriff!

Out of the way.

Sheriff!

Thanks for coming.

Jack, what's so big I had

to call out the cavalry?

- You really need to come inside to see...

- Let me say one thing first here.

What my brother called you about

belongs to me, okay?

I caught him fair and square.

And so if anyone tries to tell you

any different, it's mine.

SHERIFF:
Why are we standing outside?

Can we go in and take a look at it?

Elliot, are you okay?

SHERIFF:
What's going on in there?

I got to warn you.

This thing is dangerous.

Me and my crew are the only one

who know how to deal with it.

So when you get in there,

just stay calm, don't scream.

- Don't want anyone die on my watch.

- GRACE:
Gavin.

Wait, listen, Grace.

We're not in the forest anymore.

I'm not here to talk about what's in

there until you blew it in the face.

I just wanna see it.

Now, step aside.

What's the deal up here?

(CHAINS RATTLING)

Okay, come on.

Who's in there?

(BANGING ON THE DOOR)

Hey, open up!

Elliot, can you fly?

- I don't see anything.

- He was right here.

What was right here?

It got out.

Come on, we got to find it.

- Take a haul!

- What's got out?

See for yourself. Come on.

GAVIN:
Sheriff, get your men to spread out.

We need to call in a chopper,

because this dragon can fly.

A dragon?

Jack, you drag me all the way

out here for a dragon?

I don't know how to explain it,

but he's telling the truth.

It was here.

(MEN CLAMORING)

It's still in there.

- What?

- The dragon.

The dragon is still in there.

We have to help them.

Whoa.

How do we get him out of here?

You know how to drive?

Sort of, but my dad's truck

doesn't have this many buttons.

Stop what you're doing, young lady.

Your feet don't even reach the pedals.

Scoot over.

Wait!

I don't want to hurt your friend, son.

Just want to help.

Get in.

Okay, let's see.

Get this...

(ENGINE STARTING, CHUCKLES)

Hey, old buddy.

You better buckle up.

Hold on tight!

(CHUCKLES)

I thought I put it in reverse.

- Oh my...

- Hey!

That isn't real, is it?

Follow that dragon!

Hey!

Wait, Jack.

Tell that dragon to hang on.

- (POLICE SIRENS WAILING)

- We got company.

Attention all units.

We're eastbound on Millhaven Road.

- In pursuit of a...

- A dragon! It's a dragon!

You can't say dragon over the radio!

(HONKING)

(ENGINE REVVING)

Elliot!

Fly!

Come on!

Faster!

- That's Meacham!

- Pull over!

- Hey, pull over!

- Not a chance!

That's my dragon!

(ENGINE REVVING)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

- He's not slowing down.

- He's not stopping.

- He'll stop.

- The fool's out of his mind.

- Stop!

- I'm trying.

He ain't that crazy.

Okay, hang on tight.

We're gonna have to do this another way.

(HONKING)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(POLICE SIRENS WAILING)

Elliot! No!

Hey, wait!

Elliot! No!

Jack...

No! You have to stop!

Jack!

He's not gonna hurt us.

Please, stop, Elliot!

Stop!

Don't hurt them!

I need them!

I need them.

- GRACE:
Gavin!

- Break the glass!

Come on, I got you!

- Come on, Elliot!

- Daddy!

Dive!

Let's go. Go.

Come on!

NATALIE:
Daddy!

Grace...

Come on, Elliot.

(SOBBING)

Come on.

(CHUCKLES)

(WINGS FLAPPING)

(HELICOPTER WHIRRING)

I know.

I know.

Pete...

Pete! Wait!

(INCIDENTAL MUSIC)

(WIND HOWLING)

(SLOW INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(LOW RUMBLING NOISE)

We can't stay here anymore.

People know you're here.

They'll come looking for you.

But I can't disappear.

This book belongs to Pete.

To Pete, love Mommy and Daddy.

But I don't wanna leave you.

(SOBBING, SHOUTING)

Honey, look.

(CHILDREN LAUGHING)

MEACHAM:
No one ever saw

that dragon again.

And I never told another tale about it.

I didn't have to.

Not after that day.

Folks look high and low,

but it was nowhere to be found.

Some said he flew to another

forest, far, far away.

But, those are just stories.

Time march on, children got older.

Trees go taller.

Tales grow taller to.

By the by, even the best ones

come to an end.

But I know someone who would

tell you otherwise.

There's one little boy who

could tell you the whole story.

He could even tell you what happens next.

He knows that the North Star

shines brightest of all.

He knows that there's magic in the woods.

If you know where to look for.

He knows his dragon is still out there.

And maybe, if you're lucky,

that same boy,

the bravest boy I've ever met,

he could tell you where to find them.
