Original subtitles

She's here!

Surprise!

Oh! Look at what you guys did.

It's a going-away breakfast.

You know, I'm only gonna be at camp for like a week.

It was Luke's idea.

Aw, that's great. You know,

I didn't even have a chance to eat before work.

Where's Noah?

Hey! Stop that kid!

Hey, I need to commandeer your vehicle. Official business.

Hey, watch out!

I'm sorry. Sorry about that. Ah, are you okay?

- I'm good. - Okay. Here's your groceries.

- Ah, have a nice day. - Okay.

Whoa-oh.

Excuse me.

I knew that you would come. I never gave up hope.

Since you were so sure,

is there any chance you packed me a bag?

You're kidding me, right?

Oh.

Listen, Noah,

you have really got to step up to the plate here.

You know what the judge said after your last arrest.

Yeah. Last chance, blah, blah, blah, whatever.

Look, as your social worker,

I'm happy to stick my neck out for you.

But now both of our tails are on the line.

This camp is your last shot.

If you fail here, they'll send you to juvie.

Okay. Time to load up.

- All right. - Good luck.

Come on.

Yeah, right.

Great.

Hey, y-you got a Dramamine?

- Nah, sorry, dude. - Oh, that's all right.

I find that if I keep myself distracted for the whole ride,

it usually helps.

You know, like with conversation!

So, this your first time at camp?

Oh, yeah, right.

Awesome. A first-timer.

Got any questions?

- Nope. - This is my fifth year.

I can fill you in on all the funnest things you can do there.

They got rope courses, zip lines, pedal cars,

paintball, swimming. Oh.

I'm so glad I'm here to tell you this.

No electronics at camp.

I mean, we're not technically at camp yet, but...

I'm acquainted with all the camp rules.

Hey, when you turn it up that loud,

I can hear it too.

Gee, you look tired.

Had a long day?

Hello? Long day?

I don't wanna talk about it.

What if I just ask you some questions?

Maybe I can guess it.

I said I don't wanna talk about it.

Okay.

Okay, campers,

are you ready for the best week of your life?

Okay. Let's go!

You're probably wondering how I got into this mess, huh?

- Ow! - Single time.

Not so hard.

We agreed that job went so loud...

How was I supposed to know it was gonna explode everywhere?

It's what they do. That's why they put those in there.

- Every time? - Every time.

- Did you rob a bank again? - Not a word.

You brought 'em. Nice work, kid.

We might just keep you around, after all.

All right. What's the plan?

Shoe Shack's got a new shipment of Jordans.

We got something else. Something big.

You know that guy with his big, dumb, ugly mug

on every bus stop and billboard in town, Brooks Brady?

Well, turns out he has other interests

besides just "commercial" real estate.

He's been keeping some highly valuable secret information

on a highly sophisticated digital device.

It's like the size of a pastrami sub from Gino's.

It's got this like red bar on this side,

but it's got a blue bar on this side.

- No, bro, you got it backwards. - I don't got nothing backwards

Don't tell me I'm backwards.

- No, I'm sayin'-- - This?

- Whoa! How'd you do that? - Let me see that.

No, no. My brother gave this to me.

Whoop dee doo.

Are you thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?

Oh. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You in?

And now for the two words that'll change my whole life.

I'm in.

How do you feel about...

confined spaces?

Hiya.

I got a delivery here for a... uh...

Brooks Brady.

Mr. Brady is out for the week at a conference.

I'm quite sure there are no deliveries scheduled for today.

Is this Avion Avenue Luxury Offices?

- It is. - At 1200 Avion Avenue?

Yes.

Then I assure you, you do.

Mr. Brady's executive assistant appears to be out to lunch.

Oh, well, I could just leave this here

but if you sign for it, you're lugging it upstairs.

I ain't coming back.

Hey, uh, you have Wi-Fi here?

'Cause I'm feeling a connection.

Ugh.

Was that so bad?

Bingo.

What the...?

You hear that? I ain't going back in the slammer, Charlie.

No. No, no, no, no.

- Give it here. Come on. - Well, let me in.

Give us the thing and we'll open the door.

All right, here.

- Sorry, kid. - Wait!

Hey!

- When do ducks wake up? - Huh?

At the quack of dawn!

It's a duck whistle.

We're here. We're here!

Hi! I'm Becky with a "B"!

What else would Becky start with?

Oh, it's a game. You should try it.

It's really fun.

Oh. Well, I'm Noah.

With a "No."

Oh. Okay.

We will work on that happy camper attitude later.

Check-in is right over there.

Okay, girls.

Smartphones, smartwatches, you know the deal.

Thank you. Anything else?

- Um... no? - Come on.

You guys, look, we've been through this before.

Let me see what's in the bags.

Yeah, open them up.

Yeah, yup. Oh.

Okay. Well...

You guys are in with the Meadowlarks,

so try not to cause any more trouble, all right?

Have a good week, guys. Next.

Hey there. What's your name?

- Noah Rivers. - Noah.

Oh. Yeah, here we go.

Noah, I don't have a parent's signature, so--

Oh, I don't have...

- Uh, you don't have-- - I can take care of that.

You can?

It's fine.

Well, this is for your technology, okay?

I don't--

Oh. All right.

You'll get it back at the end of camp.

- Anything else? - Thank you.

- That's it. - Okay.

You are in with the Aardvarks, so this is for you.

- Thanks. - Cheer up there, sport.

It's gonna be a great week.

Hey, what's up?

Oh, my gosh. Are we in the same cabin?

That appears to be a thing that is happening. Yes.

This is awesome!

This is my buddy Noah I was telling you about.

So, you're new, huh?

We can share a bunk.

Oh, I call tops.

Oh, the opening camp activities are in an hour.

You need to get unpacked.

Oh, I kind of don't have much.

Oh, that's okay. You can get clothes in the nurse's office

in the lost and found.

I kind of know because

I used to have a bit of a bladder control problem.

Not anymore, though.

Anyway,

can you help me with these rubber sheets?

Hey there, Deer Run campers!

Who's ready for a great week?

Me too!

You know who else is super excited?

Your... counselors!

Where's Jake going?

What's up, guys? Is this spot taken?

Whoa! Jake? For real?

This is gonna be the best summer ever.

You know it.

You must be Noah.

How'd you know my name?

Jake with a "J," you out there?

Becky with a "B," I'm here at the awesome Aardvarks.

Whoo! Well, why don't you come on up here

and tell us what we've got to look forward to this week?

Whoo!

All right, what is up, everybody?

Welcome to Deer Run.

You are gonna have such an awesome week.

We have so many things planned for you guys.

We've got zip-lining, archery, paintball...

but most importantly, this is a place for you.

The more you put into camp, the more you will get out of it.

And if you trust and rely on your friends,

you might just find it'll change your whole life.

And in more good news, I'm happy to announce

that we'll be continuing our annual tradition

of the Deer Run Deer Hunt.

Be on the lookout every day for my dear friend Jackpot here.

He's great at hiding.

And for the cabin who finds him,

it's good for a front-of-the-line pass

and a free item at the canteen.

Mountain Lions are masters of the hunt.

We're going for a three-peat.

Three-peat! Three-peat! Three-peat!

Don't be so sure about that, Trey.

Chipmunks are coming for you.

And your deer!

Whoa. All right. All right. I love the enthusiasm.

Just remember, keep the competition

fair and fun, all right?

This is anybody's game.

Good luck. And welcome.

Thanks, Jake with a "J."

Ow!

Hand them over.

Okay, campers. Next, let's bring in our camp manager

to go over some important safety regulations and ground rules.

Welcome to the stage, Mr. Falco.

Whoo!

No "mister."

Call me "Falco."

This here's my canine partner, Lazarus.

Reveille at 0700.

Schedule is posted by the canteen every day.

Stick to it.

Don't go snoopin' around,

or you might not like what you find.

Lights out at 2200.

Stay out of the woods at night.

Stay out of the lake at night.

Okay. Thank you so much.

No littering.

No graffiti.

And no...

...electronics!

If me or Lazarus finds any,

you ain't getting 'em back.

Ever.

I can't sleep.

Every time I close my eyes,

all I see is Falco and that creepy dog.

With the yellow eyes!

Now I'm not gonna be able to sleep.

I heard he pushed the original camp manager off Crackle Creek Bridge.

I heard he's trained a swarm of hornets to attack on command.

I bet he's like some sort of horrible cyborg.

That's why he's obsessed with kids' devices.

He needs them to use for parts

to build his evil cyborg brain.

And his cold cyborg heart.

Y'all really need to lay off the Skittles before bed.

Did y'all hear that?

- What? - Something moved.

I heard it too. Was it Falco?

I bet he's listening to us right now.

Gotcha.

Jake.

So you're curious about Falco, are you?

Well, he's not a murderer. And he's not a cyborg.

But there is a story to tell.

It's one that's been passed on through generations

of camp staff.

Long ago,

Falco's beloved dog Lazarus

was electrocuted by a neighbor's radio tower

during a terrible electrical storm.

After the accident, things were never the same.

Falco and his dog...

...hated all technology...

...and had an appetite to destroy it.

If Falco catches you with gadgets of any kind...

...the dog will eat it.

And if you're not careful, he'll eat you too.

- Oh, come on. - No, it's true.

There've been witnesses.

So be warned...

Don't let Falco catch you with any forbidden items

or you'll be next.

Is that real?

No.

Or is it?

I sure am glad these are rubber sheets.

- Rise and shine, meatballs. - - Chickens!

What up, cuz?

I was dreaming about fried chicken

and then I could smell fried chicken.

Yeah. I hope you fellas don't mind.

I picked up dinner on the way.

- Oh. Extra-crispy. Nice! - Hey! Don't get any ideas.

I picked up dinner for me.

So, what are you planning on doing with this thing?

We need to unlock it.

Like the account password?

The... I-I don't know the what. Just do something with it.

- I'm not following. - What are you not following?

There's secret information on the device.

Inside of it here.

- No, there's not. - Do what now?

No. No, no, no, no.

This is a regular old gaming console.

Pretty beat-up one, at that.

It's just routine stuff.

You know, like username, downloads, gameplay hours--

Username, username. Who is that?

- Uh, player is aNOAHmous. - Huh?

It's just like a messed-up spelling of anonymous.

A-no-ah-mous.

- I don't get it. - Noah...

That little punk.

Ugh!

You ever gonna take this thing off?

Nah, I'm good.

So, what should we do today?

I think this year, we should conquer zip-lining.

Stand-up paddleboarding. That sounds fun.

Not for the morning session. The lake will be freezing.

There's candle making at the Craft Shack.

So, what's the plan?

Whatever. Doesn't really matter.

Ohh. Too cool for camp?

This whole thing isn't really my scene.

Maybe something will change your mind.

I'm Mallory, since you asked.

It's nice to meet you, Mallory. I'm Noah.

I know.

Hey, girls.

Actually, I was talking to them.

I saw you at check-in.

No parents to sign your permission form, huh?

- What's it to you? - What's it to me?

Well, I'll tell you, orphan.

- Burn. - I'm not an orphan.

- Trey, stop it. You're being a jerk. - Butt out, Mal.

See, when you rolled in here like Selena's little pet project...

- I'm not Selena's pet project. - Oh, yeah?

Then why is our counselor Jake stuck babysitting you?

- That's not true. - Actually,

- staff assignments aren't-- - You calling me a liar?

- You guys! Enough! - Cut it out!

What are you, scared?

Oh, I'm not scared of you.

Oh, yeah? Prove it.

Hey! Hey! Stop! Stop!

Knock it off, you hooligans!

Seems like some of your campers

are causing problems for my camp!

I'll take care of it.

You better take care of it.

Or I'll let Lazarus break up the next one.

So anybody wanna tell me what's going on?

Look, not everybody you meet has to be your best friend,

but you have to be able to respect each other.

All right. I think I know something that we can all do together.

Man, when I get my hands on that kid.

Knock it off. Be cool.

Can we get a taco or something after this? I'm starving.

- May I help you? - Who are you?

Hello, ma'am. Is Noah home?

I'm sorry. He's not here right now.

All the boys are out this afternoon, actually.

How many boys you got, lady?

Well, darn it.

- Mm. - We were hoping for a visit.

We've really missed seeing him.

You must work with Noah at the soup kitchen.

We do.

We, uh, we love soup.

It's so nice to finally meet some of Noah's friends.

He's always been such a lone little wolf.

You know, he hasn't been coming by

the, uh, soup kitchen lately.

We were hoping to drop in and just make sure he's okay.

Isn't that thoughtful?

Well, we thought so.

Oh!

Oh. Why don't you come in and leave him a note?

And could I interest either of you in a cookie?

You certainly could.

Hey, guys.

Glad to see everybody's cooled off. Sorry I'm late.

I had to go pick up some supplies from Falco.

Falco?

Don't worry.

He won't be joining us.

Right. Come on over.

So, who can tell me

the biggest threat that a camper will face in the woods?

Mosquitoes.

Good answer, but I was thinking of something else.

Like, literally,

- the biggest threat. - Bears.

- Correct. - Mm, nice.

And what do bears eat?

People?

I know one that no one would miss.

No, not people.

Well, not usually.

Bears will eat just about anything,

but the thing that they like best,

is people food.

Noah, why don't you come over here and pull out

about a couple of days' worth of meals for us?

- Pass. - Okay.

- Trey. - Sure thing, Jake.

These are all canned beans.

Yeah, that's Falco for you.

Lay it all up. You just toss them in there.

Doesn't matter what it looks like.

Whoa!

Whoa!

- You okay? - Yeah, I'm good.

So, there's a great example of one kind of shelter that you can build

if you find yourselves caught in some inclement weather.

We're gonna fill in some of these gaps

by just using whatever debris we find in the area.

Well done, everybody.

Thanks, Jake. That was really fun.

But the most important thing

is that we got a chance to work together,

to get past our differences, right?

Hey, who wants to go swimming?

- Me. - Come on, let's go.

Hey, brother, hand me that pen.

Brother? I would never have guessed.

Half-brother.

Mom says you're not supposed

- to call-- - I know what Mom said.

Keep her busy.

May I use your bathroom?

Of course, dear. Just past the stairs.

Cookies are the best, huh?

Ooh, it's got a lovely aroma, doesn't it?

Just a taste of orange in there and was that a--

just a skosh of cinnamon, Marilu?

Oh, yes. You're right.

You sneaky little lady.

We should go. We should go.

I was just in the middle-- all right, I was doing--

- Thanks for your hospitality. - Oh, oh, one sec.

Oh, uh, I'm just gonna...

Almost! Argh! Marilu, it was lovely.

We really must do this again sometime.

- Very soon. - Yes.

Oh.

Big congrats to the Chipmunks for finding Jackpot

hiding under the cot in the infirmary!

Whoo!

Also, Phoebe, really sorry about your poison ivy.

Hope you feel better soon.

Worth it.

Anyway, our pal Jackpot

will be heading out first thing in the morning

to look for his new hiding spot,

so keep your eyes open.

And, speaking of Jackpot, Jake with a "J."

Come on up here.

Hey guys, how was everybody's first full day at camp?

Super awesome.

I wanna speak tonight specifically to anyone

who maybe didn't have the best day ever.

Maybe someone who's feeling homesick

or feeling like you don't fit in.

Maybe somebody who just doesn't want to be here at all.

You know, we all followed our own path

to arrive here in this moment.

But we're all here together tonight. Right?

Everybody look around.

These are your fellow travelers.

So here's a song for the journey ahead.

When is this gonna be over?

Can't you just relax and enjoy this?

Yeah. Can you not be angry for one minute?

I know, boy.

We'll get him when the time is right.

Come on. Let's go.

Cabin lights are on.

Maybe he's here.

Where have you been? We've been looking all over for you.

I want to apologize for what happened back there.

I was really out of line.

You don't have to keep trying.

Really.

I know I don't belong here. I just can't leave.

We don't want you to leave.

We just wanna be your friend.

Also the whole mess with what happened at canteen today.

Trey's a jerk.

Hey. Listen. The thing about Trey,

he's not a bad guy.

He just...

He hasn't heard the word "no" a lot in his life.

His dad is this like super-rich real estate guy, Brooks Brady.

Who?

Brooks Brady. You heard of him?

Oh. Um, I don't know.

For a second, that name sounded kind of familiar.

Yeah, he's the guy with all those cheesy bus stop ads

where he dresses like a knockoff Indiana Jones.

21"Discover the best deals in commercial real estate!"

01:22:29Yeah, that's the one.

Anyway, Trey has his faults, okay?

I'm not making excuses for the way that he acts sometimes.

Just try to find it in your heart to forgive him.

Nobody's perfect.

But, hey, did you see the look on Trey's face

when he found out that Phoebe got Jackpot?

It would totally burn him if we scored that deer tomorrow.

It's on like Donkey Kong.

Mal, we all saw you flirting with Noah today at the canteen.

Then at the wilderness skills and the lake.

Ooh, somebody's got a crush.

I do not have a crush.

Boy talk? I want in.

Noah and Mallory were getting pretty friendly earlier today.

- Noah, huh? - I don't know.

He's just different than anyone I've met before.

Well, he's definitely one of a kind.

I know that he's had a lot to overcome in his life.

And sometimes he has trouble connecting with people, but...

he needs a friend more than just about anyone I've ever met.

I wonder what his story is.

Merry Christmas, Noah.

- Gabriel, this is amazing! - Yeah.

...shot. There's a good shot.

You shot first. First. Yes!

- Yes! - Yes!

Come play, Gabriel.

Hey, Noah. You startled me!

Oh, sorry about that.

I was just out on a morning hike.

Come and join me.

I'm actually glad to have a minute to sit and talk.

It seems like everything's been patched up

with your friends Oliver and Chase now.

Yeah, they're not my friends.

You don't think so?

Well, they're just nice to me because they have to be.

Why do you think that?

What are you doing, just sitting on a log

looking at trees all day?

Is that what it looks like to you?

Yeah.

Well, I gather my thoughts.

I set my intentions for the day.

I pray for the people that I wanna help.

I pray for the people that I can't.

I just set my troubles down.

Do you wanna try it?

No. Maybe some other time.

You know, every one of those trees grew from a tiny seed.

I know how trees work.

Before it was this dense forest,

a lot of those seeds had to be spread.

And some of them landed on rocks,

some on hard soil.

Some even got eaten by birds.

And now it's a forest. Got it.

Well, it's the forest that it is today

because some of those seeds actually landed on good dirt.

Those are the ones that grew.

They made it to ground that was prepared,

ready to be planted.

Look, I'd love to talk trees all day, but I really gotta go.

Just think about this.

When a seed comes to you,

what kind of ground will you be?

So, I was thinking,

yesterday Phoebe got infected with poison oak,

and then she found the deer, so...

- Good idea. - That is a terrible idea.

- You got a better one? - Actually, I do.

Wait, I need my backpack.

It's just back at the cabin.

But that's on the other side of camp.

Just go. It'll be fine.

Youth Authority.

Hi, I'm calling from New Day Boys Home,

uh, just wanting to confirm an appointment

with Parole Officer Hollis

for nine a.m. on the 31st with Noah.

Noah Rivers. Yeah.

Nine a.m. That's on the calendar.

Noah Rivers. That's it.

There's a note in here from Officer Hollis

that he's gonna wanna see his camp paperwork,

so make sure he comes prepared.

Camp, huh? Will do.

Thanks for your help.

Camp, huh?

It's too bad we don't know which one.

I think I have a pretty good idea.

Noah, I don't think Jackpot is up here for real.

I'm seeing spots.

Why am I seeing spots?

I have a blister

bigger than the pancake I had for breakfast!

Here it is.

There we go. This is it.

I don't get it. He was right here.

This is a bust.

Next time you get a feeling,

keep it to yourself.

Guys! Guys, wait.

Look, I'm sorry I dragged you up here.

Let me make it up to you.

Okay, campers.

So, here's the hopper where the ammo goes.

Paintballs come out of here.

Pew! Pew!

You're gonna line these little bits up to aim, okay,

and then the safety is right...

Where did you guys learn how to do that?

YouTube.

Becky! Becky!

Wait.

Wait for us.

Hey, look, guys, I'd love for you to join

but we really need even teams for Capture the Flag.

Hey, guys.

Game on.

They're on our team.

Spread out! Spread out!

I'll cover Phoebe.

- Oops. - Roll out!

Come on.

Right there, guys.

Now!

Let's go.

- Gotcha. - Amy, you're out.

- They're coming! - Trey!

In your dreams.

Let's roast this turkey.

Chase, you're out.

- Hey, losers. - Not a chance, Trey.

Trey, you're out.

No!

Trey, you're out.

Whatever. This game is stupid anyway.

Noah, that didn't count. You're good.

My hero.

Let's finish this.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Huh? Ow!

Ooh. Oliver, you're out!

Phoebe, you're out!

- Yay! We got it! - We did it!

And we have a winner.

- Congrats, Addy and Maya! - Yeah! Whoo!

Congrats, Green Team!

Ha! We killed you guys.

- Yeah, we did. - "We"?

You died in like five seconds.

Yeah, well, we're on the same team.

Not anymore.

To the victor goes the spoils.

Congrats, girls!

- What? That's so unfair. - Yeah.

Uh...

I'm not that hungry. Catch you guys later?

This kid...

Let me talk to him.

What you get there?

Have a seat. Let's talk.

When I was your age, I knew this kid who literally grew up with nothing.

He was angry at the world...

angry at God.

He felt like...

so much had been taken from him

that he would have to steal it back,

one thing at a time.

And he tried to do just that.

But no matter how much he took from others,

it never felt like enough.

It never felt like anything.

Just emptiness.

Like nothing could fill the hole in his heart.

But then one day somebody showed him a different path.

It was something he'd never thought of

or asked for.

But it turns out it was exactly what he needed

to fill that emptiness.

Do you wanna know what it was?

I'm not your pet project.

Give it back.

What?

Don't play stupid. Give it back.

You think I took something from you?

That's hilarious.

Well, I'm not joking around.

What could you possibly have that I'd ever want?

Hey, what's up, boys? You guys ready for lunch?

I am starving.

Come on.

Left. Left. Left. Come on, guys.

Oh. Here ya go, partner.

All beef.

Let's go chow down by the lake today.

You okay?

You seem angrier than usual.

Still worried about Jackpot?

I mean, yeah, I am too.

- I'm happy that Addy got it. - That's not it.

Look, the best way to deal with these kinds of things

is to talk about it with your... friends.

I'm done with lectures for today.

Watch this.

Trey's the worst.

Here. Here, here. Watch. Watch.

Food fight!

Everybody stop!

Don't forget, you signed a good camper pledge!

We got to do something.

Right. Okay. Uh...

Ow!

Ow!

Do not go up there.

Where's Becky? She's usually so good at wrangling these kids.

First,

you're gonna clean up the tables,

then the floor,

then the walls, then...

Well, all of it!

Then yourselves!

And be careful!

I don't wanna spend all day tomorrow

detailing pickle relish out of the shower drains!

Chase! Oliver!

Lazarus duty.

And don't forget the tail.

That juvenile delinquent

has been nothing but trouble since he got here.

The dust-up at the climbing wall,

sneaking in contraband...

- and now a food fight? - Well, now I know who stole it.

Never in my 30 years of managing this camp

have I seen such a raucous display.

You're forgetting about all the progress that he's made.

So many good things too.

Think about all of the lives that have turned around here.

Maybe some kids can't be reached.

I know you don't believe that.

Well, it's on him to prove

that he's ready to accept the help.

Hey, guys. Come on in.

Who could tell me what happened back there?

Well, somebody started it.

So, this is how it's gonna be?

Fine.

Trey, I'm still gonna have to call your parents

and tell them what happened.

My dad's out of town all week.

- Good luck trying to reach him. - Then your mom.

You mean my dad's girlfriend?

Yeah, she doesn't care what I do.

And, Noah. You cannot get in any more trouble this week.

I'm serious. You know what's on the line.

I can't believe we got stuck with this.

Could be worse.

How's it going, Mallory?

Don't talk to her. She's busy.

I can't believe we broke Becky.

Where've you been? I thought...

I thought Falco might have killed you.

I'm so glad you're still alive.

I'm fine.

But there is something...

What's going on?

All right. So, the reason I was upset earlier,

it's because I've lost something.

Something important.

Well, not lost, more like taken.

What is it?

I can't tell you. Not now, at least. Later.

Who took it?

I think I know.

And I'm gonna need your help to get it back.

Okay, guys, come on in.

I think that we can all agree that things got way out of hand

at lunch today.

But we're proud of you for making it right.

So, who's ready to have some fun?

All right. We have several adventures set up for you,

so everybody follow me.

Timmy.

If you ever swing upside down from the zip line again,

that'll be strike two.

Does everyone remember what to do?

- Yeah. - All right,

so the most important thing is that the staff

never notices we're gone.

All right? Split up, do your job, get back. Got it?

- Got it. - All right.

Mr. Parker, I could have sworn I saw a snake in the lake,

- like an anaconda or python. - What?

- Yeah, crazy. - Oh, thank you.

- Thank you, son. Okay. - Yeah.

Uh, Falco. Yeah, we got a reptile situation.

Are you sure he saw it go in there?

Uh, that's what Chase said.

Lazarus is usually real good at rootin' out snakes.

Hey, he said it was an anaconda.

He said what?

Whoa, boy!

Dynamite?

So you're meaning to tell me

you stole a magical video game from a bunch of gangsters?

I stole it for them, not from them.

And I never wanted this one.

And it's not magic. It's just like, programmed weird.

- I don't know why. - But it's valuable.

Well, not to me.

And whatever's on it, it's password protected.

It'd take some super genius to crack it.

You mean, like a child prodigy who skipped two grades

and was described by his computer teacher

- as "potentially problematic"? - What, you?

The CIA called his mom about last year's science fair project.

- True story. - Yeah. Go ahead. Give it a try.

Really, I just want the one my brother gave me back.

Hey, guys. Lights out in ten, okay?

Come on in and get cleaned up.

Thank you for telling the truth.

Sure.

That's the turn. Right here. Right here.

I told you we should have brought a map.

How was I supposed to know

there's no cell service up here?

There's nothing in this. Didn't you fill these up?

We're not real exterminators.

They don't know that.

- Oh, I'll find a hose. - Okay. Good.

Jake, you are killing it with your Jackpot hiding skills.

We can't find him anywhere.

He's a tricky deer indeed.

I forgot to hide Jackpot this morning.

I have to run back to the cabin. Okay?

Nope. I need to set up for morning activity sessions.

Um... Uh...

Chase and I can run back to the cabin, if you need us to.

Yeah. And I can stay back and help if you want.

You guys are the best. Go, Team Aardvark.

My bad!

Ain't none of these our kid.

I hope Noah doesn't start without us.

Noah.

- Who are you guys? - We're Buggin'!

That's the name of our company. "We're Buggin'!"

'Scuse us. There are some pests over there

that need our attention.

Hey!

Jake said it was in the loft.

Let's go get it.

Got it.

Gotcha!

Come out, come out, wherever you are.

Eh, no big deal. It would've been nice to bust some skulls

and get some intel on that lyin' thief Noah...

Yeah. I do enjoy bustin' some skulls.

Bing, bing.

I can't stop thinking about the-the look in his eyes

whenever he stole our personal property

right out of my hands, Charlie.

After all we've done for him.

I bet he thinks he can just come here and hide from us!

I bet he's got all his little friends fooled too, right?

But we know what a-- what a crook he is.

And do you know what else?

When I find that kid, I'm gonna--

Oh, sweet.

Rubber sheets! Just like mine.

It ain't here, Charlie!

What about up there?

I'll go check.

Whoa, whoa!

Trespassers! Get out!

Up!

Get away!

We're exterminators.

New to the area.

Get off my property!

- Hey. Hi. - Stay away from my campers!

Don't come back here.

You will regret it.

Show's over.

Good. Now show me your stance.

- Good. - Hey, Noah. You missed

some major drama at the Aardvark cabin.

- Oh yeah? - Yeah. Falco kicked

two gross old guys out of your cabin.

There was a tall one and a short one.

Wait, what?

Yeah, the whole camp is talking about it.

Noah!

Wait, what's going on?

What happened? You guys okay?

No thanks to you.

We nearly got killed by your gangster buddies.

And then Falco busted in here

and nearly gave us a heart attack.

I am so sorry.

I never meant for you guys to get involved.

We know the truth.

Truth about what?

That you stole from them.

We know who you are and why you're here.

It's not like that at all.

How are we supposed to believe anything you say?

Come on. We'll finish this later.

Jake's waiting on us.

Hey, what's going on?

Ask your boyfriend.

Everything's a mess.

I don't even know where to start.

Whatever is going on, you don't have to face it alone.

Yeah, we can help.

No. No, you guys cannot get involved.

Today didn't go exactly as planned.

Oh, you're telling me.

But tomorrow, we're going back to that camp,

and we're gonna get what's ours.

What are you, crazy?

No more sneaking around this time.

The kid comes to us.

What makes you think he's gonna do that?

Because we have something he wants.

I gotta get out of here before somebody gets hurt.

You're leaving camp?

Yeah, I have to.

No, you don't.

Those guys are coming back for me.

And when they do, everybody in camp could be in danger.

Why are they after you?

Sit down.

There's something I need to tell you guys.

I don't want anything to do with those guys.

I just need to lay low for a while

until I can figure out what to do next.

If you leave tonight, you could really get hurt.

I don't care if I get hurt.

I just want everyone else to stay safe.

I care.

We all do.

Promise you won't leave tonight.

Promise.

Guys, Noah ran away.

Okay. Um, let's split up.

We'll cover more ground that way, okay?

You guys gather the rest of the kids at the campfire.

You can go join the others at the summit.

Nobody knows these country roads like me and Lazarus.

We'll help you look.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- This? - Yeah.

I'm worried sick about Noah.

- How are you guys doing? - Fine, I guess.

I mean, he made his choice.

How can you say that? He's your friend.

He was never our friend.

He was using this place as a hideout,

and now he's back to his life of crime.

Yeah. That's why he left.

He left because he cares so much about all of us,

all of you,

and he wants to keep us safe from those bad guys.

Wait, what?

Noah!

Noah!

Noah!

Noah!

If you keep going down this road,

you're gonna get yourself hurt.

Why is everybody always trying to save me?

Simmer down.

I'm talking about this road.

These country roads don't have a shoulder.

It's pitch black out there.

You're gonna get yourself taken out

by one of those cattle haulers

and never know what hit ya.

Okay.

You gotta think ahead, soldier.

Don't wander off in the dark alone.

Hop in. Lazarus, you're goin' in back, kid.

So, you wanna talk about why you're running away?

I didn't think you talked.

Some folks might say the same about you.

Hm.

I've done a lot of things

you campers don't know nothin' about.

You don't have to--

When I was your age...

Oh, great. Another relatable story.

Look, you can drop me off right up there.

Ah, when I was your age, I was just as much

of a smart-mouthed, know-it-all,

good-for-nothing little punk as you are now.

Maybe worse.

Is this supposed to make me feel better?

Let me get to the point.

You've been given a great opportunity

by people who care about you.

And you're blowing it.

I'm literally running away from it.

Everyone around you believes in you.

There's only one person who doesn't.

You don't think some people are beyond help?

I believe everybody is reachable.

I had to be reminded about that lately,

but it's true.

Always has been.

I don't know...

There's a saying in the army,

"No man left behind."

I'm not a part of any army.

Are you sure about that?

Well, I think I'd know if I was.

I think there's a bunch of kids back at camp

who would argue with you pretty hard about that.

What are you guys doing here?

We're all here for you.

I'm really sorry I left.

I'm sorry that it felt like you needed to.

We should have been there for you.

The most important thing is that you're back and safe.

And we're together again... like family.

All right, I'm gonna get ready for bed.

It's good to have you home.

Okay, so what do we do if those guys come back?

We'll be ready for them.

We've got your back.

What's going on?

Let's just say that the wheels are in motion.

Hey, Jake, where can we find the wilderness skills stuff?

Hey, Parker, can we hike out to Echo Point today?

Hey Selena, don't forget you promised to help us with tie-dye!

Anybody wanna play Frisbee golf?

Yay! Okay, let's go.

Come on.

Hey, dweebs...

what's going on around here?

Why? You want in?

Maybe.

Well, we need all the help we can get,

and I've got the perfect job for you guys.

We've got campers stationed throughout,

keeping staff distracted. Here, here, and here.

Does everyone remember what to do?

- Any questions? - What's this one?

Secret weapon. Er, weapons.

Actually, here they come now.

Somebody ordered a couple of sharpshooters?

Where do you want us?

- Hey, Becky. - Hey, Phoebe.

- Can you teach me how to cast out? - Sure. Okay, so...

Are we done already?

Quit whining. Keep digging.

I hurt my back.

Stop.

Where's Paulie?

I told ya, you shoulda gone before we left.

Well, I didn't have to go then.

Make it quick!

Sure is quiet out here.

Yeah, too quiet.

Are you sure we're in the right place?

This place was crawling with kids yesterday. What gives?

Oh, that's it. It's lunchtime.

Yeah. Let's hurry this up and get it over with.

I got a date with some leftover liverwurst

I do not wanna miss.

Hey, turkeys! I'm up here.

What are you doing up there?

Well, I'm staying away from you.

And that's how it's gonna be from now on.

Fine by us.

Just give us the thing and we'll be on our way.

There's an empty pouch right here

and you're gonna put my console in it.

I'll pull mine up and send yours down.

We're not gonna fall for that.

You think we're stupid?

What do you think?

Be a shame if this fell in.

No, no. Be... be cool!

All right, what are you waiting for?

See you later, fellas.

Or not.

- You little liar. - Let's get him!

Oof.

Coconut.

Ooh!

Ooh!

Ah!

Noah, when I get a hold of you, I'm gonna...

Mommy!

Charlie!

Dang!

I got him, Charlie.

Hey, guys.

What are you waiting for?

Hey, looking for this?

Come and get it.

Oh, no!

Yay!

Let's go.

- Hey, hey. I got you. - Yeah.

- Oh, leeches! - Get them off me!

Ahh! Get them off!

Leeches! Leeches!

I can still feel them wiggling.

- I got it, I got it. - Ow!

It's okay. I got you. I got you.

I want my mommy! Oh!

I think there's another one.

One more! One more! One more!

That was the last one!

Chase, get 'em! Get 'em! Get 'em.

Chase, get 'em! Get 'em! Get 'em.

Get 'em. Get 'em.

Given up yet?

When I catch that kid, I'm gonna wring his neck.

- What was that? - I said I'm gonna--

I'm gonna wring your neck. You know what I said.

You heard what I-- you heard what I said.

Come on.

Where do you think you're going?

Oh, hey. Oop.

Here, boy. Here, boy.

- Oh, oh, oh, oh. - Give me that!

- Gotcha! - No, you don't.

- Brrrr. - Ha-ha!

See ya.

Let's go!

- Ooh! - Did you see that?

- That was sick! - Nice shot, bro.

Trey, watch out!

Oh, come on. This ain't even the right kid!

Let's smash his face in any way.

- Show these punks we mean-- - Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

No! Wait, wait, wait!

Let him go. I'll give you whatever you want.

You know what we want.

Yeah.

You dummy, it's a fake!

You better tell us where ours is.

The real one.

Fine. I'll take you to it.

All right, it's over here.

- Go get it. - Nah. I don't trust him.

- I'll go get it. - Wait.

How come you get to go get it?

Fine, we'll both go get it.

- Okay? - That's what I'm saying.

We'll both go get it.

I'm watching you.

I think I got something.

Huh?

Wait. Wait, what's that sound?

I don't know. Just help me with this thing.

- Ow! - Quit it.

Murder... murder...

- Murder hornets! - What?

Murder hornets!

You're dead meat, kid.

You okay, brother? Okay? Let's go.

- Okay. - Let's go...

This is not working.

Oh, you can't hear me. You got mud in your ears.

- I can't hear you. I've got mud in my ears! - Okay.

- We're like fish! - What's your problem?

We're surrounded now. We're surrounded now!

They're everywhere! They're everywhere! Get back!

You're dead meat! Get back, you kids!

You're dead meat!

Oh, you're dead meat!

- Thanks for the save, bro. - Anytime.

Oh, no, no, no. No, no. No.

No, no, no! Oh, my God!

Oh, hey. Oh, my God.

Hey, what's going on here?

- Who are these guys? - Just a couple of dirty crooks

who got what was coming to them.

Ah! No, no, no, no!

I don't think they'll be comin' around this camp again.

Oh, man, my liverwurst is gonna go bad.

Hey, man, keep in touch.

I will. I got your contact.

Seriously. If you need anything.

Bye, Noah!

It's been super awesome getting to know you.

I'll see you next summer!

Sure thing, Becky with a "B."

Ah!

Bye, guys.

Time to load up. You wanna sit up front with me?

Nah. I'll sit with my friends.

Hey, guys, come look at this!

Hey, whatcha doing over there?

Nothing!

And that's my story.

Who would've thought that Chase would actually crack the code

and find a map?

Where does it lead?

That's a story for another time.

Oh, yeah, and one more thing...

Hey, you came!

- It's good to see you, man. - What are you doing here?

Well, I work here.

This is your job?

This is more than just a job.

Do you remember that story that I told you back at the cabin

about the kid that was on the wrong path?

That lost kid, that was me.

And this was my path.

Do you wanna guess the person who guided me to it was?

Who?

Selena.

- Come on. - It's true.

We were both younger than you are now.

She invited me to church one Sunday, and...

the rest is history.

She never told me that.

Selena has this amazing ability

to just know what people need.
