they stuck me with?

Yes, sir! I want to know everything

there is to know about primates.

How they think.

How they socialize.

That's great.

Let's start on how they poop.

Nice socks.

Okay, sweetie.

It's Kifo's bedtime.

- Bye, Kifo.

- Bye, Kifo.

Our refuge is a

self-contained community.

By having a minimal human footprint,

our animals can adapt to captivity

much more naturally.

I concur. In my thesis,

I argued why free-range zoos

are better than

traditional caged ones.

- Can you count?

- Sure.

Fantastic!

I want you to go down

to the basement and I want you to

take inventory of all the gas

and methane tanks.

Gas and methane. Got it.

Oh! And you can lose the tie.

I liked my tie.

You know, I was kind of hoping

to do a little more

than just count cans

on this internship.

Wait until you add expense sheets.

I'm also going to need you to sen faxes,

pick up Fed-Ex, and answer phones...

What is wrong with this new system?

Okay, there we go.

You play sweetie while mommy works.

Is your daughter always here?

When the nearest day care center is

over 30 miles away you get creative.

And being in the middle of

the boonies here is a small

sacrifice to pay for

the safety of the animals.

Besides, this is my playroom too.

I earned my PhD on

Captive Breeding Theory

right over there

on that equipment.

When I grow up, I'm going to be smart

and learn how to use a telescope, too.

It is a microscope, sweetie.

So you're a scientist? What made you

give that up to become a zoo director?

So I could run the refuge

and do it right.

Oh! We really gotta run.

Okay. Bye, sweetie!

Hey buddy.

What is it, Boris?

- Whatcha doing?

- I'm working. Quit it.

You busy?

Come on, man.

Boris, stop scaring him.

Oh, come on.

Ty is scared of everything.

Especially the animals.

I swear that Gorilla

was trying to mate with me.

- How was she?

- He was gentle.

And this is our security.

Gentlemen.

Good Morning, Dr. Rogers.

Ellen.

Ma'am.

Oh, Boris. Yes.

So I ran into Johnny outside.

He's on his way to Dr. Gordon's office.

Is everything okay?

I can radio and see.

Thank you.

Hey Rex. You should meet me out

in the promenade in a few minutes.

I have a new victim for you.

Ah! It's about time we hired

some new help around here.

We can't run this place with

two security guards and a dog.

Did you hear that?

He just called you a dog.

Sic'em.

So sorry to keep you waiting.

It's fine.

We're still a bare-bone staff

around here.

Is that a zip line?

It will be. The line will go from here

all the way around the zoo.

Part of our family fun adventure

makeover that we're doing.

But if it brings in revenue,

I guess it's was worth it.

Rule number one,

security guys don't dress for church.

Right.

I will kept that in mind

if I ever with security.

You guys. This is Rex.

Rex is the head of our security.

I'm Gage.

You're not Leslie Hogan?

Well if he is, he stole my name.

I'm Leslie. I go by Lizzy.

I'm sorry, I'm just...

It's fine.

It happens all the time.

And I look forward

in changing your assumptions.

Security to Rex!

Security to Rex!

It seems everything

isn't okay at the clinic.

The Alarm has been tripped,

but no one is answering his walkie.

Copy that. We're on our way.

All right guys!

Talk to me. What's going on?

- The alarm at the clinic is still

going off. - And Johnny's not answering

his walkie or his phone.

Well try the clinic's intercom system.

I'll call Dr. Gordon's cell.

Hey Boris, can you call his assistant,

Robin? See what's going on.

Ellen, we could see for ourselves what's

going on if we invested in more security...

No now.

Secutiry to Vet team. Respond.

This is security.

Is anyone there?

Dr. Gordon's cell phone

goes straight to voicemail.

- So does Robin's.

- Okay guys. Maybe he went home.

Dr. Gordon leaves early

on Mondays anyway.

Well then, who activated the alarm?

Could be a hazardous animal escape.

Yeah, you would think that.

Drama queen.

Okay, I highly doubt that anything

dangerous escaped from Dr. Gordon's clinic.

Since he only deals with

small monkeys and lemurs.

Guys, actually, Procedure calls for

a team of at least five guards

to go when the first unit

doesn't respond.

- Who's this brainiac?

- My intern.

Who I think is trying to get out of

doing inventory of the gas cans.

My professor did say

that I would lean everything

there is to know

about managing a zoo.

- Including security.

- Okay. Okay. Okay.

You win. You win. But when we get back,

you are cleaning out the staff refrigerator.

Rex:
With all of us gone, you'll be here

by yourself. You okay with that?

It's a zoo, not Jurassic Park.

So I take it you've done

security before?

Yeah, my last job was security patrol

at a junior high school.

I thought I could make a difference.

In the end it made me

swear off ever having kids.

The kids were that bad, huh?

No, but the parents were.

And that's why I chose to come here.

At least animals are

a bit more reliable and tame.

Tame?

There's a reason

they call it wildlife.

Just remember, it's the animals

that need protection from the people.

Not the other way around.

Yes, Dad!

Looks like Johnny made it here fine.

Johnny!

Security to Vet team. Do you copy?

Hey, hey, hey. Taser stick only.

Boss, we don't know what's wrong.

We don't know what's right.

Let's go.

- Your boss said no weapons.

- It's not a weapon. It's an accessory.

Some women wear wedding rings.

I wear firearms.

But that's against the rules.

Look, would you feel safe

if I had a gun or not?

I just don't want you

to get in trouble.

It's too late for that.

Dr. Gordon?

Anyone?!

Maybe they forgot to lock up.

That's not very professional.

Boris, kill the alarm.

Roger.

Done.

Well now you guys are really

going to see how a zoo works.

Okay, you know what?

This goes against

all zoo protocol that I've studied.

Alright, I'm not certified,

let alone trained to handle this taser.

Guys, your insurance adjustor

will go n a rampage if I get hurt.

No one?

Get behind me.

Get the Dr. out of there!

Hold on doctor. It's just us.

The electronic lock's jammed.

- Break it open!

- We're trying!

Doc, we're just trying to help.

Push now!

Are you pushing?

I am!

- Break it open, Boris! Let's go!

- That is not helpful!

On three!

Two!

One!

Johnny!

Barricade... Barricade the doors!

Why?

Johnny?

Robin's dead.

Where the monkeys?

Johnny. He tried to help me.

I shouldn't have,

I shouldn't have let him.

They're all dead.

They're all dead.

Doc, are you alright?

Why does it sound like that?

It's their running cry.

Boris!

Help him!

It's not working!

Shoot it Leslie! Shoot it!

I can't!

Gage, you have to kill it!

Okay, okay, okay!

Oh sh*t. Oh sh*t. Oh sh*t.

Why do the animals have to fight?

'Cause they got tire of being nice.

Ellen, come in. Ellen are you there?

I'll be right back.

Dr. Gordon's dead!

- What?

- They're all dead!

Dead?
