Hello.

Hello?

We've been watching you.

We thought you were going to die,

but then you didn't.

That creature protected you.

Why?

I don't know.

I'm going home. Do you know

how far Clawtooth Mountain is?

Good idea. We want him.

Why?

Because it's terrifying out here.

He can protect me like my friends.

This is Fury.

He protects me from the

creatures that crawl in the night.

This is Destructor.

She protects me from mosquitoes.

This is Dream Crusher.

He protects me from

having unrealistic goals.

And this is Debbie.

Yes, we need him.

What is his name?

A name? I don't know.

Hmm. Then I will meditate on this.

Hmm...

I name him, I keep him. Hmm...

Killer.

Hmm... Beast.

Hmm... Murderer.

Hmm...

Uh... Grubby!

Funeral Planner?

Uh, Cootie!

Hmm... Hemorrhoid.

Uh, Squirt!

Uh, Frank!

Stinky!

Maniac!

Funky!

Violet.

Spike!

Lunatic.

Spot!

Spot! Come here, Spot. Come here.

He is named.

You clearly are connected.

Good for you.

On your path to Clawtooth Mountain

that creature will keep you safe.

Don't ever lose him.

No. No. You can't have him, Debbie.

No, no, no. Debbie!

Debbie! Stop! You're better than this.

No, no, no! Come back! Debbie!

Where are you going?

I need to get home.

Ow!

Huh?

Ugh...

Spot, watch this.

Oh.

Huh? Huh?

I miss...

I miss my family.

Family.

That's me.

There's Libby.

And Buck.

And Momma.

And...

And Poppa.

Family.

Huh?

You don't understand. That's okay.

Yes. That's your family.

I miss him.

(GRUNTS)

(SCREAMING)

Where's the river?

I've lost the river.

I'm never getting home.

I'm never getting home.

Help! Help! Help!

Aw, say, friend, are you wounded?

No. I'm not hurt.

Oh, good. Thank goodness for that.

Uh, Coldfront, Downpour,

keep looking for wounded folk.

Wait. I'm lost. I need to

get home. Clawtooth Mountain.

Uh... Clawtooth Mount...

Oh, you mean the mountain

range with the three points.

Yes! Yeah!

Oh, yeah. I've been there.

Uh, but you know, kid... Mmm.

You're not even close.

Still, I know the way.

My name's Arlo.

I'm sorry. I just...

I used to have a name like that once.

That was before I started

following the storm!

The storm?

The storm swept me out.

I was afraid for my life,

but the storm gave me a relevation.

And I wasn't scared anymore.

You mean a revelation?

No! A relevation. Okay?

I was at a real low point. You know?

And the storm swept me

up to a real high point,

and then left me at a higher relevation.

Wow.

Yeah, wow.

That's when the storm

gave me my new name

because... What do we say?

The storm provides.

The storm provides. You

can call me Thunderclap.

Thunderclap. Can you help me get home?

Uh, yeah, well... Uh, maybe. Oh!

But first, we just

need to check the area.

There's plenty of folks in a bad way

after a storm like this, don't you know?

Uh, Thunderclap, I

found someone! Over here!

You know, we could

use your help, friend.

Uh...

Whoa! Yeah! That is great.

It's a critter.

Ah! A freed critter. Thanks to you.

You know, I just want to take a moment

and thank the storm for this meal.

Don't think you can mess with me.

I've seen the eye of the storm!

And I forgot what fear is!

I'm not afraid of anything.

DOWNPOUR:
No, I didn't say you were.

Hey, where are you going, friend?

I'm... I need to get home.

And I said we would get you home.

Friend, you have a critter of your own.

Oh, I smell it. (TRILLING)

One of the juicy ones.

Where is it?

He's hiding. Over there.

By that big rock.

(SPOT GASPS)

-The storm provides.

-No!

-Spot!

-THUNDERCLAP:
Get him!

(THUNDERCLAP AND

DOWNPOUR LAUGHING)

THUNDERCLAP:
Hey, slow down.

There's no place to hide, yellow belly.

DOWNPOUR:

Come back with that critter!

ARLO:
Help! Help!

(PTERODACTYLS SCREECHING)

(ARLO BREATHING SHAKILY)

-Hey, you okay, kid?

-Yes.

I hate those kind.

Lying sons of crawdads picking on a kid.

Well, ain't you just the cutest thing.

He likes you.

Imagine that, Ramsey.

Even with your stinky face.

Nash! Boundaries. This

is my personal bubble.

Nah, that ain't your

bubble. This is your bubble.

Nash, get out of your sister's bubble.

You got no business being out here.

Yes, sir. I don't. I'm trying to

get home, but I lost the river.

Please, my momma needs me.

Take it easy, kid.

Do you know where the river is?

What river? There's tons of

rivers around these parts.

By Clawtooth Mountain.

It has three points.

Don't know that one.

We're heading south to a watering hole.

Come with us. Someone

there might help you.

We ain't got time for baby-sitting,

we got longhorns to round up.

My genius brother lost

our whole herd in one day.

I did not lose them, Ramsey.

How many times I got to tell

you this? They just wandered off.

We still got to find them.

We can't help you, kid.

Wait! But what if we could help you?

Spot can sniff out anything.

I've seen him do it.

He can find your longhorns.

Hey!

Come on, Spot. Sniff it out, boy.

Good boy, Spot.

He's got something.

Aw, dang.

Hey, kid, if you're pulling my leg,

I'm gonna eat yours.

He found the herd.

Whoo-whee! We got 'em.

Wait, do longhorns have feathers?

Rustlers.

Rustlers?

We got to move.

Yah!

I don't see any rustlers.

They're out there.

So, how far did you say

that watering hole was?

I got a job for you.

I'm not really good at jobs.

I need you to keep on the

dodge and sidle up the loblolly,

past them hornheads just

hooting and a hollering,

and score off them rustlers.

We'll cut dirt and

get the bulge on them.

What?

He just wants you to get

on that rock and scream.
