Original subtitles

I don't know where we are.

Yeah. Me neither.

There's no turning back.

We're lost forever!

Just the two of us.

Yeah...

Everybody else in the world can go fuck themselves.

I love your skin, Amber.

That's sweet.

I love your hair, your neck, your...

Clavicle.

What about something about my personality?

Oh...

I really love your imagination.

Really? Aw.

Wow...

Cool.

I hope this won't give me a rash.

Nah, I'm sure it's fine, babe.

Nothing natural can hurt us too bad.

That's bullshit.

Natural stuff fucking kills you.

What about poison plants, and wolves?

Oh, babe, I had the coolest dream last night!

We were in Washington D.C., like thousands of people.

We were storming the capitol.

The pigs were there guarding it,

but we broke through.

And then we started a whole new perfect society,

where everyone was equal.

It was a sweet trip.

I'm less worried about the pigs than I am about the wolves.

Any animals out here are gonna be way more scared of us

than we are of them...

Animals should be afraid of humans.

We hunt for sport.

And we're burning down their forests in Vietnam.

The bambis can't defend themselves.

But wolves...

Wolves know the deal.

They know they're faster and fiercer than us.

No...

They think we're like confusing weird other things.

We're blobs of meat to them.

They just stay away from us.

Or chomp on us...

Jesus, Amber, whoa, whoa...

Whoa.

You turned into a demon there in my mind.

I think...

We should get a dog.

Really?

Aw...

Oh, shit. Shit.

Shit.

We need twigs.

I'll get some.

I always dug the name great Dane.

I want a white one, with big black spots.

That's cool.

Whoa!

Look!

What's up?

Oh...

Far out.

It's probably some kind of military base.

Could be...

It keeps going.

Kill it.

Ugh!

Uh, what are you doing?

Matt!

I can see your balls dangling as you climb.

That's nice.

Fuck, this thing is high!

Oh, Jesus, Matt.

Amber, there's a castle!

It's like the home of Walt Disney.

He's gonna shoot you for trespassing!

I'm clearly unarmed.

I'm coming!

What if it's a secret weapons lab or test site?

There could be chemicals all over these trees!

C'mon, babe, have some faith.

There could be magic here. Or a utopia...

Use your imagination.

Utopias never work out.

Holy shit...

What?

- What is it? - Shh.

Quiet.

No way.

There is magic here.

Whoa.

Wow!

You're pretty.

Hey, there.

Hey, girl...

Matt, don't mess with it.

It's gentle.

Leave it alone, Matt.

You're wigging it out.

I just want to pet her.

C'mon...

Okay, beautiful, we'll leave.

Bye-bye, pretty girl.

Whoa, oh!

Argh!

No!

Oh! Matt!

Please be okay, Matt!

No! No!

Matt!

Matt... you're gonna be okay.

You're gonna be okay, Matt.

I love you.

Matt, please come back!

Please come back, Matt...

No!

I love you too.

Argh! Ah!

You...

I'm sorry.

Oh, fuck...

Hello!

Fuck!

Helicopters!

Is anyone there?

I need help!

Hello!

Anybody here?

"Cryptids?"

What is this place?

I grew up an army brat...

Mostly at a base in okinawa, just after world war ii ended.

When I was a little girl, I had the most horrible nightmares.

Until...

The Baku came.

The Baku ate my nightmares,

allowing me to sleep.

Nobody at the camp believed me

when I told them about the Baku.

I never forgot her.

When I grew up, I dedicated my life

to keeping cryptids like her safe from harm.

Huh!

Ah!

Good boy!

Across the globe, cryptids are captured and traded

on black markets.

It's my duty to be their human rescuer and protector.

Ah, my old friend, Lauren grey.

Come to join the party?

You wish.

- Do you recognize this? - Ooh...

For tickling?

Oh, you're so kinky, Lauren.

Look, don't play dumb with me, Gustav.

I found this alkonost feather at an auction in Morocco.

You're trading these?

Well, I'm a cryptid myself.

Now why would I get involved in the black market?

For the money.

How else do you pay for all your whoring?

You owe me, Gustav.

Well, I... I'll make a call, okay? Um.

I can get you the bird lady.

I didn't free you from a cryptid prison,

so you could traffic cryptids yourself.

You...

You should be ashamed.

Oh, come on, Lauren. Can you take a lesson from me?

Loosen the fuck up, please!

Besides, I'm just the middleman.

Who are they?

The babushkas.

They sold me the feathers.

They are the keepers of the bird.

But not for long.

Hey!

What's he doing?

Don't worry.

He and I, we have an arrangement.

Thanks for the muscle, droog.

Very classy, Gustav.

The babushkas are quite protective of the bird.

As they should be.

According to Russian folklore,

when her eggs hatch, it causes terrible storms.

Oh...

Look what they've done!

I had no idea, I swear.

Here you go, my dear.

Here you go.

There you are.

Let's get you out of here.

Oh, man!

Poor girl.

Hey...

Hey, girl.

What's your name?

You look like a Sasha to me.

Do you like that? Sasha?

Okay, good. Sasha.

I'm gonna get you some place safe.

God damn it!

Ahh!

Ah!

Stupid babushka.

Hey, grey, come on, let's split!

Come on!

Hey!

Wait! Ah...

Ahh...

No!

You're hurting her!

No!

Hey, hey!

Look who it is!

The alkonost is mine, Nick!

I was here first!

And yet it only matters who's last.

Thanks for leading us here.

Fuck you, Nick.

She's not yours...

You're falling apart.

Maybe you should go back to Joan and your little

animal shelter until you feel better.

Ah!

Joan.

I'm so sorry. It's my fault.

I led Nicholas right to her. He captured her and he...

I saw an alkonost fetus die right in front of me.

Shh...

It's okay now, grey.

I need you back on your feet.

There's been news...

About the Baku.

What?

- The Baku? - Yes.

She's somewhere in North America now.

The U.S. military got a hold of her, but of course,

she managed to escape her captors.

Where?

We've got a lead.

We fly out tonight but...

Grey, I'm worried about you.

No, I'm fine.

I can't lose you,

so I'm giving you some help.

What? I don't need...

He'll just slow me down.

Her name is Phoebe.

She really understands the cryptid experience.

We need someone like her on our team.

It looks good for us. And you'll like her.

I like her.

You know I'm best working alone.

Yes...

But you also work for me.

And I say you're in no condition to do this by yourself.

Come in, Phoebe.

Hi, miss grey.

I've read your file and I know

how important the Baku is to you,

and she's important to me too because I'm...

Are you ready to risk dying,

to get a Japanese dream-eating cryptid?

Yes.

Why?

It's important to me.

Why?

This is who I am.

And I should not have to hide it.

Phoebe is a gorgon.

She wears contacts and tranquilizes her snakes

to fit in with the public.

She knows firsthand how the wider world treats cryptids,

and how important it is for them to have a safe home,

where outcasts are welcome.

So let's welcome her.

The Baku may be the most powerful cryptid on the planet.

She feeds on dreams.

She can be a force for good.

But she could also do irreparable harm.

Babe, I had the coolest dream last night...

The U.S. government wants to harness the Baku,

to wipe out the dreams of the counterculture.

Suck them away into nothing.

Without dreams, there can be no future.

Who's our lead?

We know that the Baku was captured in okinawa,

stolen from Japanese collectors,

and flown to a secret military base somewhere in the midwest.

She was being transferred to a cryptid holding facility

when she managed to free herself.

We don't know where the Baku went,

but there was a second cryptid who escaped at the same time.

He's in Florida right now.

So we need to go to him,

and find out what he knows about the Baku.

I'm so glad you're with us.

That's lovely!

Thanks.

I started having dreams of Jay and me being married,

and I always listen to my dreams.

Where's the wedding going to be?

An island called belle isle...

When the water is shallow,

you can catch fish with your hands.

Sounds magical.

Just think... Little half-cryptid babies!

How interesting...

How beautiful!

Oh, I guess so.

How's your leg?

It's fine.

Fine enough, anyway.

What is that cane?

It's a catch pole.

I made my first rescue with this.

The last Pegasus...

I named her Gloria.

You caught her with that?

She's okay now. You'll see.

Oh, okay.

This cryptid is a humanoid, like you, Phoebe.

So let's be mindful not to refer to him

as a creature or animal.

His mother offered to let us talk to him,

so long as we take him back with us and

give him a home and employment at the cryptozoo.

Come inside.

Oh, what a cutie-pie.

Hi, pliny.

My name is Lauren.

I'm a doctor.

I'm just going to look at you, okay?

Okay.

You're doing really well, pliny.

He has bruises on his back.

It was those army men who captured him.

He's only a child.

They took him all over, in cages.

They beat him.

I'm so sorry.

Pliny's gonna love his new life.

He'll be with his own kind.

I'm his kind.

I'm his mother.

Yes...

I know.

He'll make friends.

As soon as he tells us about the Baku,

we'll go straight there.

No.

First, you get us to California,

then pliny tells to you what he knows.

But...

We need to get to the Baku right away.

You can trust us.

I don't trust you.

And I'm not just handing my son over to strange people.

I'm coming with you.

Pliny will give you the information

after we have seen the home.

Also, I want 400 dollars.

- That was not the agreement. - 400 u.S.A. Dollars...

To show you are serious. Or no deal.

You are not the only ones who want to talk to my boy.

You know?

- Alright. - Joan!

Four hundred it is.

Okay, c'mon, pliny.

It's time to see your new home.

I met Joan years ago

and was moved by her vision of a place for

all the unloved animals in the world.

After I got my veterinary degree,

I traveled half-way across the globe to work here.

"Cryptozoo" is just a catchy title for marketing.

We think of it as more of a sanctuary than a zoo.

Soon the whole world will see what we've done.

It doesn't look much like a sanctuary.

More like a shopping mall.

Yeah...

The initial funding came from Joan's inheritance but

if this place is going to be able to sustain itself

over a long term,

it's gotta generate a lot of revenue.

We need to be tourist-friendly.

It doesn't change anything about our mission.

It's just not what I was expecting.

Well, it's very progressive, I think.

I mean the shops are staffed with both cryptids

and non-cryptids, working together.

Maybe you'll work at one of these stores, pliny.

Wow!

Oh, my god!

We have dolls of every confirmed cryptid.

Pliny, it's you!

You don't think it's a little tacky?

Think of it this way,

a hundred dolls sold is one saved cryptid.

- Ah. - Besides, look,

he loves it.

C'mon.

The cryptozoo is organized by continent of origin.

Walking clockwise around the center lake,

home to our kraken,

you go from North America to South America,

to Africa to Australia to Europe to Antarctica to Asia!

We'll have guided tours every half hour,

and culturally-appropriate food

served in the cafes in each zone.

So visitors who come to see something

totally out of this world

will be learning about our world.

Our world.

That's the thing for me, pliny.

This place is absolute proof we exist.

Out there, people think of us as imaginary beasts.

But most mythological beings are simply

extremely rare beings.

We're real, too.

Let's help the public get hip to the fact

that we're normal.

And then maybe one day,

we can feel safe anywhere in the world,

not just in a protected zoo.

Welcome to the karzelek cave!

In Polish mythology, karzeleks are elf-like beings

that punish unwary travelers by pummeling them with rocks.

But these tricksters also love to dance and entertain.

Wow...

Oh.

C'mon, there's even more.

So the value is a European mountain cryptid.

We found him in a hidden valley

in a remote corner of the pyrenees.

He was utterly savage but,

as he's spent time here, Joan domesticated him.

She named him Vaughn.

Hm...

Of course, we do have some untamable creatures...

There's the kraken. A hydra.

A flying roc. A tarasque.

And the camoodi, the longest snake in the world.

This way are the Luz mala of South America.

You know will o' the wisp? They're like that.

They mesmerize people into following them.

That's how they got the name "the evil lights."

But they're not really evil at all.

People always fear what they don't understand, you know?

They are alive?

Mm-hm.

They're made up of gas, but they are sentient.

Here they perform behind glass as a light show.

Intelligence has nothing to do with appearance.

Some of the more beastly cryptids are

much more intelligent than the humanoids.

Like the Baku...

Well, these lights are smart.

Pretty far out, right, pliny?

- Are there dragons? - Yes.

Oh, I want one as a pet.

Joan has a baby Chinese dragon. She keeps her in the tower.

Joan's office and living quarters are up there.

The cryptozoo is her whole life...

Her great utopian dream.

Vaughn, oh!

We can only greet

the strange and unusual with love.

And if we show them love,

they will return love.

And love will spread and envelop all of the beings

on our diverse, wondrous world.

Welcome to your new home.

You have a bath and a TV.

Every year, adds new lusters of

thunderbirds' reputation...

Okay, so you're here.

Pliny?

Listen. Okay?

It's hard to believe that such a gentle little thing

could destroy the future if she fell into the wrong hands,

but it's true.

We need to get to her before the army does, okay?

She saved me, when I was about your age.

And I owe it to her.

What do you remember?

It's okay, pliny.

You tell them now.

Maysville.

- What? - What did he say?

Maysville, Kentucky.

Thank you. Thank you, pliny.

Okay, was the Baku with anyone?

What's the last thing you saw?

Kitty.

A kitty?

Kitty cat.

Black kitty cat.

Did the black kitty cat take the Baku, pliny?

Yes...

Who? Who is the black cat?

Pliny?

That's enough questions.

He said all he knows.

He rest now.

Mm...

- You're leaving again. - Yeah...

We need to go find something. Someone.

Well, when will you be back?

I don't know. Soon. Hopefully.

C'mon, phoebes, we moved here to start a new life.

Find an apartment. Plan our wedding.

I've been stuck alone in this hotel room for a week now

while you're flying all over the world.

I'm sorry, Jay.

I want to just be with you too, but this is the job.

What we're doing is really important, I think.

A wedding isn't important?

I have to make the seating arrangement for my family.

At least you have a family.

I don't because I'm a cryptid.

The cryptozoo is maybe the only place

in the entire world

where cryptids can have a home.

It might look like a fucking amusement park, but...

I'm sorry.

I get it, sweetie.

I just miss you is all.

I know.

We're gonna be married.

I'm gonna be your husband.

I know.

It's out of sight.

I hate towns like this.

Lots of police.

Fuck.

That's Nicholas.

It has to be.

He's ex-military. Extremely smart.

- Obsessed with cryptids. - Why?

What does he want with them?

He wants to sell them,

as bio weapons, to the U.S. armed forces.

The military know they lost the Baku around here,

so they brought him in.

He's the best at finding cryptids.

The best except for me, of course.

Look.

Black kitty cat.

You dance anywhere before?

No. Not really.

You've got a cute face.

Can I see your tits?

Oh, yeah.

That's alright.

Some guys dig that.

How about your ass?

Uh...

Ah, now we're in business.

Mm...

What's back there?

Hold on...

I've seen a lot of wigs in my day.

That one's top notch.

- What've you got under there? - I...

Lauren grey!

Gustav.

Funny seeing you here.

I could say the same.

And of all the places a low-life pervert could hide out,

you choose a club in the same shithole town

that the Baku went missing?

I'm just enjoying some southern belles.

If you know where the Baku is, you better tell me right now.

I'm outta that game, honest.

If you're lying, you'll regret it.

You won't find your Baku here, Lauren.

Don't. You'll mess it up.

Oh... but I like seeing girls all fucked up.

Hey, back off.

What the fuck is that?

Where is mariko? We know you have her.

I got no girls by that name.

Are you pigs?

He doesn't have shit.

Let's shag ass.

Sorry you had to deal with that creep.

It's okay. Just sucks it's a dead end.

We'll keep looking.

I have an idea.

We heard there was a wild animal in the neighborhood last week.

Did you happen to see anything or...

Like a bear or something?

Yeah, it looks partly like a bear.

You obviously love animals.

We were thinking you might have taken it in

if you came across it?

No, no, I haven't seen anything.

Oh, okay.

Well, thanks anyway.

Well, that was a waste of time.

If the Baku is out here, she's starving to death.

Nobody has any big dreams here.

Hmm, I don't get it.

If I lived out here, or in the country,

we'd have all this space.

I could let my hair down...

Have a yard, kids.

Don't you find the city people to be more open-minded?

Not to having a gorgon for a neighbor.

I just worry the outside world is never going to accept us.

Not really.

Even with the cryptozoo.

The best we can hope for is to be treated like circus freaks.

Think about pliny.

Serving popcorn to tourists who tease and stare at him?

No, the cryptozoo is going to change things gradually.

Things will be different for pliny's kids.

Your kids even.

People will learn to be more accepting.

The cryptozoo is a necessary stepping stone.

C'mon. Let's ride.

The Baku will turn up, I'm sure of it.

Look.

Worth a try?

I collect rare and unusual tarot decks.

Each has its own story.

Get a reading, Lauren.

Do you have a question for the cards?

Yes...

I'm...

I'm looking for someone.

This is the waite-Smith deck,

drawn by Pamela colman Smith.

It's my favorite.

I think it suits you.

Oh...

Okay.

While you're shuffling the cards,

you must think back to the last time you saw her.

We won't do reverse cards,

as there are enough complexities and contradictions

in the deck itself.

I haven't seen her since I was a little girl.

Yes...

Now put it down,

and cut the deck.

Now take those stacks and cut them.

Like this?

Each position relates to a different suit of the tarot.

One for the wands,

then the swords, then the cups,

and finally, the pentacles.

The reading proceeds through the suits,

from beginning to end.

Got it?

I think so.

Turn over the first card.

Hmm...

The hanged man.

Look, he's upside down.

He has a different perspective than the rest of us.

He is enlightened.

You see things in the world that others do not see.

You see the hidden world.

Yes.

Now, let's see how this is then channeled through the swords,

intelligence.

Oh...

Three of pentacles.

This quest is your job.

You work with two others. You are the pentacle, the body.

The others are the heart and the brain.

It is important for all three to be in alignment, right?

Yeah... yes.

Now we must move into the future.

First, let's see what your quest will cost you.

Oh...

The tower.

I'm so sorry.

This will come at a great cost to you.

- Your work will... - But will I find her?

Wands, swords, cups.

Now, finally, pentacles.

The material world. The end of your reading.

So what is it?

You're here for the dream-eater.

She's gorgeous.

Does anyone else know she's here?

No.

She came straight to me.

I'm like you.

I see the hidden world, too.

She knew this was the safest place for her.

Hi there, mariko.

Do you remember me?

I've had so many nightmares.

But she...

Mariko has eaten nearly all of them now.

How does it work?

You can suggest things you want to disappear...

By dwelling on them just before you fall asleep.

Or she'll just latch onto your head

and suck out whatever dreams she wants.

- Does it hurt? - No. Not at all.

It just disappears.

Yeah.

Go get the carrier.

Right.

That's her.

- You can't just... - Hey, hey.

Who's this now?

- You're with grey? - We won't hurt you.

I don't have to...

Answer!

You two have the Baku?

That thing's not for kids, girl.

Fuck you, meatheads!

Ahh!

- A medusa! - I'm a gorgon!

Ahh!

I knew she was a cryptid. I could tell.

Humanoids are tough to tame.

You can't...

You can't do this!

I think we can, actually,

considering you just killed a man.

Don't you think some things are meant to stay hidden?

But that's how they get lost.

I can't lose her again.

Miss grey!

We have your gorgon servant girl!

The animal in there is the property

of the U.S. military.

- Fuck! - We're coming in!

We gotta hide her.

- Hey! - Argh!

Get him!

Ah!

Okay, okay, okay.

Jesus Christ, lady.

- Go on. - Damn it.

Let's go.

Remember, listen to your heart.

Get your hands off of me!

Gustav!

I should've known you were working with this asshole.

Hey, a job is a job.

What? I should go and dance at your park?

That shit's demeaning.

I risked my life to get you out of that prison cell.

And now you work for a zoo.

You've always been so righteous, grey.

But you know we're not so different.

We were both raised military. You hunt exotic game, too.

You like to tell a pretty story about yourself.

But this isn't a fairytale.

Look, these animals are strong weapons.

We could end the war with these things.

That's what weapons are for.

I'd think your parents would've taught you that.

You are a monster.

Takes one to know one.

Put the Baku in the tomahawk and load the skirts in with me.

Nice work once again.

There's no reason to be too rough with them, is there?

Hah, you play the good cop.

I'm sorry, Lauren.

No, I should've gone with you.

- No. - It's my fault.

I'm supposed to protect you.

No, we protect each other.

Oh, this is so sweet.

You're through, you know? It's over.

Now my client gets the Baku, as promised.

And thanks to your little murderer friend here,

they have all the legal excuses they need

to shut down your monster zoo.

- It's a sanctuary. - A stepping stone.

It's a carnival.

What it is is a giant holding pen.

All those cryptids, in one place.

Do you really think the public would be ready for that?

I'm sure that with a real purpose, they'll be happier.

I should thank you, grey.

You did a great job.

Mission accomplished.

We have to be there to see them confiscated.

Let's go, Joe.

Cryptozoo, California.

Yes, sir.

What'll you do, Lauren?

I mean if you're not in jail for resisting arrest.

You gonna sit around getting stoned like everybody else?

No.

Once we have all your little pets,

you'll be handing in your resume to me.

If you love to collect cryptids, it's hard to kick.

I know how it is.

What makes it fun is that they don't want to be held.

She'll never work for you.

It's not so bad.

Isn't that right, my faun friend?

Uh, Nick... sir.

The monsters, they're loose!

- What? - What's wrong?

Is this some kind of airshow rehearsal bullshit?

No!

Something's wrong.

Jesus!

- No! - What's happening?

Mariko!

- I'll take care of the devil. - No, no, don't!

Don't hurt him!

He's the last tengu!

Uncuff us! We can parachute out!

Carefully!

No!

- I said carefully! - Stop!

Mariko!

You don't love cryptids.

You hate them!

Holy shit!

You don't have to hurt her!

They're attacking on instinct.

We're in their air space!

Ugh!

What the hell?

You're gonna be alright.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

Hah!

Land the chopper and she won't attack!

Tell your bird to back off!

You're making her angry!

Holy shit!

No, no!

Where'd he go?

I'm gonna do it.

Ahh!

Gustav!

- Lauren! - C'mon.

You can swim in the surface, Gustav.

Let's go!

- Okay, c'mon. - I... I...

I got you.

Is the kraken going to be alright?

Yes...

It will just have a sore throat.

Okay, good.

You didn't have to do that.

Uncuff Phoebe!

- Uncuff her! - Fuck you!

I ought to shoot the both of you right now, I mean, really.

Don't.

We need...

We need them to guide us out of here.

A helicopter will pick us up.

It could take hours for a copter, you know, to come...

So we might need our ladies.

Doesn't it make more sense to keep our options open?

The gorg covers her eyes right now,

or I blast her brains out.

- Tighter! - Alright.

Mariko.

Oh, she's hurt.

- No, uh-uh... - I'm a vet.

Yeah, let her see the magic pig.

Mariko, you're gonna be fine.

I need a stick and some cloth.

- It's got a name? - Oh, that's cute.

Mariko.

How long have the cryptids been loose?

I don't know.

There you go, honey.

There you go.

- What's going on? - Oh, man!

- It's the camoodi. - The what?

A south American megaworm.

Phoebe! Follow my voice!

Where?

- Where? - Here!

- Lauren! - This way!

Where are you?

Phoebe!

This way!

Where are we now?

The karzelek's cave.

We'll be safe here, I think.

Welcome to...

- the karzelek's cave. - Is there an opening?

I gotta make a signal.

In the center, there's a cave heart.

Elf-like beings that punish unwary travelers

by pummeling them with rocks...

Lauren saved me before.

And she can do it again.

Ah, shut up!

I'm in charge here.

Hey!

Look...

Kill me.

Are you human?

Yes.

What happened?

It's all my fault...

I was angry.

My boyfriend and I came across a tall fence last night.

C'mon, babe, have some faith!

We climbed it into this side of the cryptozoo.

There could be magic here!

Matthew was killed this morning and I...

I murdered the unicorn!

I carried Matthew's body,

but I couldn't get him back across the fence,

so I went looking for help.

Hello!

I called out, but no one answered.

Then I found these beasts, howling in their cages,

and I knew how they felt.

I freed them.

They came after me...

But a winged horse appeared from nowhere...

And held them off.

She saved me.

And then she guided us here...

So I could Bury his body.

Oh, geez.

So you killed...

I'm...

I'm so sorry.

We should've left the unicorn alone.

Oh!

Woah...

Joan...

What is it?

It's Joan's tower. It's falling.

You've got to get to her!

Go!

- Gloria! - Nah-uh.

Stay right here!

If anyone's taking that gay horse,

it's me with the Baku!

No! Let her go!

Lay off!

No! Don't shoot!

Please. Don't.

Ouf!

- Ahh! - C'mon, girl.

Fucking freaks always stick together.

No!

Ahh!

Gustav!

Please forgive me.

Go, Lauren, go!

Come back here!

Land it, you bitch!

Oh, my god!

Oh, my god!

Jo...

Steady, steady...

Stay by the window, Gloria.

Ahh!

Ooh! Ugh!

Joan!

Joan! Where are you?

I have her.

I'm okay...

She's hurt. But I have her.

I've got you, Joan.

He's dead.

Well, now they can stuff him and put him on display.

You caused all this.

Now you're gonna get us out of here.

Where's this fence?

We'll climb it.

Her head!

Ahh...

No!

It won't kill you, but you should get to a hospital soon.

- Calm them down! - I can't.

I lost my tranquilizers in the crash.

Then cut them off!

Aah!

Go on!

Jesus fucking mother of god!

Fuck it, time to shoot the bitch.

No!

Ow!

Bad trip! Bad trip!

Hah!

C'mon.

Wait!

- Where is mariko? - Who's that?

The weird-looking pig thing.

- It crawled into the cave. - We gotta go back for her!

- Those guys are there. - But it's hiding in the rocks.

C'mon! We gotta get out of the zoo!

No.

I know what we'll do.

We can ask the Luz mala.

What?

The lights. They can mesmerize people. Cryptids, too.

We can ask them to guide all of the cryptids away from here,

far away from San Francisco to safety.

The Luz mala are kept in an auditorium.

I know where it is.

Take us there.

Let me get that belt off.

It's okay, I won't look at you.

No! That never works.

You'll glance at me and you'll die. It always happens.

Oh...

Okay.

Take my arm and I'll guide us.

I know where we are. I know how to get there, really.

Trust me.

I love you.

Take a right at the next path.

Right.

You can't get up that way!

You gotta come up to the top!

Gloria's at the window!

The camoodi's choking the tower!

You'll be alright.

We're almost there.

Hurry!

Vaughn! Joan!

Argh!

Ahh!

Ahh!

Buggers!

Fucking gnomes are...

Boss, help me here.

Please!

Where's the Baku?

It went into the cave.

Where are we now?

The mermaid cove!

We're almost there!

Careful! Careful!

- Luz mala? - Yeah!

The gate's closed.

There's a switch in the booth.

What the fuck!

Oh... hi!

Do you work here?

Who is it?

Stab her.

Wait! We just wanna open the gate!

Who is it?

There's a boy with a face in his gut and

a woman with a caged bird.

Pliny? Pliny! It's me, Phoebe!

It's okay.

Whatever you're doing, it doesn't matter right now.

We're trying to get to the lights.

Don't listen to that monster, baby.

She's lying. They bought and captured you.

They want you in a cage.

She doesn't care about you.

None of them do.

Please, pliny. Remember the beautiful lights?

- We just need to free them. - Don't come any closer.

You can leave if you want to. We won't tell anyone.

Stop her!

If you are too chicken, I'll do it.

Give me the knife!

Give me the knife!

Pliny...

Bad boy!

You listen to your mother! Bastard boy!

Thanks, pliny!

Yes!

Joan!

Joan?

Are you here?

Joan?

Her lungs are weak.

She's weak.

Joan.

Oh, Joan.

You're gonna be okay...

I failed Lauren.

We failed them.

We should've had better security.

- I shouldn't have... - No, no.

So trusting...

You had a beautiful dream.

And I believed in it.

But it wasn't gonna last.

Maybe now the cryptids can go back into hiding.

Maybe it's better this way.

But...

Who will take care of them?

They can take care of themselves, Joan.

They always have.

They want to be free.

No...

No!

Maybe we needed them more than they needed us.

But I love them.

I do too.

Baku?

Baku, where are you?

Ah...

Mariko, right?

That's such a pretty name.

But why do they think you're a girl?

Come home, little piggy.

Ah! Fuck!

Ah, ah!

Jesus Christ!

Fuck! Ah!

Argh!

Oh...

Luz mala!

Listen!

The cryptozoo has fallen!

Soldiers have come to capture all the free cryptids!

Or worse!

Please, help us.

Guide the cryptids out of here. Away from the city.

Back into hiding!

They're so scared and confused!

But you can Shepherd them to safety!

Do they get it?

I think they get you.

Glow blue if you understand!

Far out.

They can dig it. But they're still trapped behind the glass.

Can you break it?

Yeah, let's fucking break it!

If I turn pliny's mother to stone,

we can throw her at the glass!

- Not even... - Goddamnit!

The glass is too thick.

Wait.

What?

The horn of the unicorn.

Okay, okay, okay.

Ah!

Yes!

Ah yes!

Where are you going?

Ah! What's happening?

Pliny!

Bye-bye, mean lady!

Joan...

Mariko.

Ugh!

Huh?

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust...

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

Don't worry, she's gonna be fine.

She's beautiful.

Come here.

Good girl.

Thank you.

Yeah.

You take care of yourself, Amber.

C'mon, Mattie. Let's go.
