The vegetation here in the north is even stranger than at home in Wasoon.

I must take a note.

I wonder how the people in the City in the Sea will react when they meet us.

Don't worry Hannah.

They are human survivors of the 21st century shelters just like us.

I'm sure they'll give us a splendid welcome.

Here they come Hammer. Let's give it to them!

- We're under attack! - Turn the vehicles! Turn the vehicles!

We're trapped!

Wait for the order Wrench. If you jump the gun you'll foul up the ambush.

Are you sure this antique is going to work?

Let's hope it doesn't blow up in our faces!

This can't be happening.

Jump!

- Chartis you're hurt! - I don't understand!

The people in the City in the Sea are supposed to be...

... rebuilding civilization the same as us.

They're not from the City in the Sea.

The fuel and the tires will be worth a fortune on the black market.

It's Hammer Terhune and his renegades.

You have to go on Hannah. Get to the city.

- Not without you. - I'll only slow you down.

Wasoon must form an alliance with the City in the Sea.

It's the only hope for what's left of the human race.

- Hey! There's somebody over there. - I'll try to lead them away from you.

Go now. Hurry.

In the 26th century, mankind faces an epic struggle for survival.

The forces of nature have spun wildly out of control.

Mighty cities have crumbled.

And the dinosaurs have returned to reclaim the earth.

In this savage land, one man stands alone.

Jack Tenrec.

Defending humanity in a world gone mad.

A world where only the strong survive.

A world of…

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs!

Qua hoon.

- Get some water! - Quick! Hurry! C'mon!

What happened here? Was a poacher attack?

- There he is! - No!

This is your fault Tenrec.

What's the matter with you people? I'm here to help.

We've had enough of your help Tenrec.

You know what did this to us?

It was a giant shivat!

A shivat?

That's impossible, they never come out of the foothills.

No?

See for yourself.

Qua hoon.

You told us it was safe to build here.

You said the shivats would never come down into the valley.

We listened to you and your nonsense about the machinatio vitae.

The machinery of life is a balance.

We have to maintain it.

Not at this price. This time we only lost our houses.

What if next time it's our lives?

The great beasts fear us as much as we fear them.

- It won't come back. - And what if it does?

Then... I'll destroy it.

Ladies first.

A hand granade huh?

Some great weapons you got for us Scharnhorst.

Yes Terhune. And you'll get more as soon as Jack Tenrec is destroyed.

And I mean destroyed.

You can't just take out the man. You have to eliminate the machinatio vitae.

Look. I risked my neck to put that gizmo on that shivat. And it worked great.

Tored up that village real good.

One village isn't enough.

I need all the settlers in a panic

so they all forget about their loyalty to Tenrec.

And turn to me for protection.

When you get want, remember I get Tenrec's garage and everything in it.

Of course Hammer. Would I double-cross you?

Not if you care about your future.

No. We need this scum alive... for now.

Get onboard brothers.

It's time for the shivat to start rampaging again.

The City in the Sea! It does exist.

They seem to have technology too.

But has any of the old knowledge survived?

New York Public Library. Bingo!

You sure scared me little fella.

The shivat! Didn't even see me.

Jack.

Jack Tenrec.

Your blood calls you. Your blood wakes you.

You must trust the machinatio vitae. Trust machinery of life.

The shivat. I have to destroy it.

There's no other way.

There is always another way.

If you're dead, I can't say I'm sorry.

If you're alive, on your feet!

What's... what's going on here?

It's an ambush slither brain.

Like the one you and your friends set for my convoy.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Sure you don't, and I suppose you weren't following that shivat either.

You are a poacher.

A poacher? Lady you couldn't be more wrong.

My people have always been the arch enemies of the poachers.

Your... people?

You mean, in the City in the Sea?

No. My people the old blood mechanics.

You are lying! In Wasoon all the old bloods have died off.

Maybe in Wasoon.

But there's a few of us left up here and we still follow the machinatio vitae.

The machinery of life, I've heard of that.

But right now I'm more interested in machinery, period.

So you just make that, that, that, that thing of yours work again okay.

You are taking me to the City in the Sea.

That thing is a Cadillac. And is not

going anywhere without a new tire.

Can you open the trunk and get me the spare?

Trunk?

The storage hatch in the back.

Hey how come I'm doing all the work?

Because you shot the tire.

So what's your name old blood?

Jack Tenrec, mechanic.

Hannah Dundee, diplomat.

Diplomat?

Isn't that like a politician?

Oh a little bit.

I hate politicians.

Get in.

I'm not really a politician. I was sent here to make contact between our cities.

What I really am is a scientist.

I hate scientists even more than I hate politicians.

Well this is the start of a beautiful friendship.

You did a great job of building...

How did you call it again?

A cadillac.

Cadillac! What's this thing?

A radio.

A radio! You know, we're trying to learn to broadcast again at Wasoon.

Have you done it here?

Yeah, but we only have one station. And I don't think you'd like it.

Fellow citizens I implore you to learn from our own history. The days when the

mechanics were important to our survival were almost a century ago.

We don't need advice from that obsolete creed today.

Who's that?

Wilhemina Scharnhorst. She's one of the three governors in the City in the Sea.

If she had her way she'd be the only governor and I'd be ran out of town.

Jack Tenrec and his mechanic friends are relics. They are the real dinosaurs.

By telling us we can't build where we want, and plant where we want.

They are slowing progress. They are stopping development.

They are taking food out of the mouths of your child...

Qua hoon!

Well, that was mature.

Now you're just gonna have to fix it.

No problem.

Here's my garage.

Gosh it's more like a fortress.

Jack, you had us all worried. We heard about that rampaging shivat.

Who's this?

Mustafa Cairo meet Hannah Dundee A scientist and a diplomat from

the city of Wasoon.

Wasoon ha?

We heard there was another tribe of survivors somewhere south of here.

Good to finally meet one.

Mustafa, we have to find that shivat before it does more damage.

Let's see. It wrecked this settlement here. I tracked it to here.

It's like it really wants to go back up to the foothills.

But each time it starts to head that way something makes it turn back.

No you don't!

Not this time!

You know very well what you did here yesterday.

Now you march right back outside. Don't come back inside until you understand

the difference between inside and outside.

It's ok ambassador that's just Hermes. Jack raised him after his momma got

killed by poachers. He wouldn't harm a fly.

But don't tell anyone, he's the best burglar alarm in the business.

Yeah he sure alarmed me. Well before anything else with claws shows up I

think I'll be going.

Is there a boat to the city or do I have to swim?

There's Kirgo's ferry. He runs over twice a day. Should be along soon.

Oh, ah ha. I think I see his smoke.

Smoke?

You're looking toward the land not the sea.

Mustafa the scope.

Qua hoon! It's bad.

What are you gonna do?

Something I swore I would never do. Turn my back on the machinatio vitae.

- I'm going with you. - So am I.

I don't want an audience.

This is horrible.

- Disastrous. - Quiet Toulouse.

There's more: Giant shivat...

...rampaging through settlement... ...weapons useless...

...please... save us...

Hard to believe. All these years Tenrec and the mechanics have said we had

nothing to fear from the great beasts.

We've based all our plans and expansions on his creed.

- What do we do now? - Now?

Now we build what we want. Clear forests, drain rivers.

Cut down any living thing that stands in our way.

Jack Tenrec's philosophy is finished, and so is he.

What a glorious, glorious day.

Unless you live in that settlement.

If you're going to sit on the council with me governor Dahlgren you better

get a grip on that sentimental streak.

You were wrong Tenrec. Its back!

I know what has to be done. Just stay out of my way.

Tenrec.

Do not do this. Remember the machinatio vitae. An old blood cannot take a life.

An old blood cannot let his tribe be destroyed either.

Sorry.

I never thought I'd use a lethal dose of tranquilizer.

Qua hoon!

What the devil is that?!

I hope I live be long enough to find out if I'm right about this.

Gotta...

Get this thing... off.

Wow. We expected to find a dead shivat. Not a half-dead mechanic.

That animal was on a rampage because it was suffering from this.

It was making a high pitched sound. I could barely hear it, but it was driving

the shivat crazy.

It's a short-range receiver. Looks like a high-frequency rig. And whoever

has been sending that signal to enrage the shivat has got to be very close.

- You're doing it wrong. - Hands up.

Hammer left me in charge. I'm doing it right.

Yeah? Then how come we don't hear the shivat wrecking the village no more?

Where's the shivat? It's gone! Those idiots.

Wrench, Vice, you morons. What did you do?

They messed with the machinery of life Hammer. And I guess they got caught in

the gears.

Tenrec.

Been a long time.

Well worth the wait.

You are thought, for a girl.

You're slow... for a boy.

Tired of breaking villages on your own. Had to use a helpless with animal.

Whatever works Tenrec.

You and your brothers are too dense to come up with

that transmitter yourselves.

You're working for Scharnhorst aren't you? Trying to discredit me.

I work for myself, and I don't want you discredited.

I want you terminated.

I think you've killed your last animal.

Robbed your last settler.

I think you're wrong.

Qua hoon!

My career is just getting started cadillac. And after I finish you,

there won't be anything left to stop me.

You're forgetting one thing Hammer. That shivat you tormented, it has you sent.

It's gonna seek you out.

Find you.

Your old blood fairy tales don't scare me Tenrec.

No? I'm talking 10 tons of fairytale Hammer.

I'm talking fangs a foot long and claws like steel hooks.

When that shivat finds you

what's left of you won't even be a smear on the forest floor.

I wonder if you be one bite.

Or maybe two.

Guess we'll know in a minute.

- Was that convincing? - Sure fooled me.

Come on let's go. There's someone I gotta talk to.

You know what a transmitter is don't you Scharnhorst?

That's what made that shivat destroy those settlements.

You should treat it more gently.

I also know that the only place the Terhune

could get one would be from you or your moles. The city council knows it too.

They'll remove you from the Board of Governors

when I show them that evidence.

Evidence?

What evidence?

I know you don't believe in the machinatio vitae.

But I'll give it to you anyway.

In a nutshell, what goes around comes around.

When it's your turn to go, I'll be around.

So, how'd it go?

That well huh?

Until next time.

Tenrec.

Until next time.

Scharnhorst.
