THE CRAZY STEGOSAURUS
The excessive proximity of the mysterious comet Herbie
caused the Earth to endure various phenomena,
that continued even after the comet had passed.
The soil was lowered in many parts of the world.
And it brought back the flora of the Mesozoic era
and various species of dinosaurs.
The International Organization for the Conservation of Nature
was founded to protect the dinosaurs.
The ground has been lowered in the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
And with this event came the plants and animals of the Mesozoic era
The International Organization for Conservation of Nature
has an elaborate network of observation and communication.
Information stating that another dinosaur has appeared in North America
was sent immediately to the headquarters of Born Free.
Emergency! Get ready for action!
Ready your equipment
Understood. Make sure the anesthetic weapons are operational.
Gon, Gara, are you ready?
All our radio equipment is in 100 percent working order.
Gon, test the periscope.
Alright.
The periscope can also function as a stellar telescope,
with exceptional performance. Thanks to an electronic device
we can zoom in up to 40,000 times.
We can see a dinosaurs eye even at the distance of 4,000 meters.
Now let's try the super sensitive microphone.
With this microphone we can clearly hear a dinosaur's
heart beats within a radius of two kilometers.
Jorge, the microphone found and registered
your heart beat perfectly. I'm more than satisfied with this.
Ah, that's good news.
Now I want to show off the fantastic device that I have just
finished setting up, I call it "the dinosaur lure".
In fact, when synchronized with the Born Free's computer, it can
repeat the speech of any species of dinosaur.
Now I'll prove it, listen!
Your destination is the Grand Canyon of Arizona,
in the United States of America. A dinosaur's been reported.
From the data that we have received it could be a stegosaurus.
The Stegosaurus is a species of plant-eating dinosaur
that lived in the Jurassic period 150 million years ago.
It's nine meters long, and weighs 5 tons.
It has a mild temper and is slow moving.
It's legs are extremely short,
so it cannot walk fast.
The carnivorous Tyrannosaurus and the violent Triceratops
have caused us a lot of trouble, but fortunately this time
everything will be easier. Don't you agree, Gara?
Of course! But a stegosaurus is dangerous.
I know, but we will sneak up on it, use the net
- and anesthetic and that's it! - That's it!
Come on stop it, that's enough!
Stop fooling around, this is serious
- we must capture it by other means. - Other means?
The child speaking is Masao, a member of the Born Free.
The man speaking is Gon, the pilot. Listen to what they say, Sammy.
Yes, boss. I'd love to, but I don't understand.
How come we can hear their conversations?
When they learned that the Stegosaurus was a weak and
slow animal, they were so happy they forgot their radio is on an
open channel. And they think they're the lucky ones.
What do you mean capturing by other means?
How about thinking about the feelings of others
we could befriend them instead. Because in the end they are animals like us.
And like us, they have the need for affection. So if we treat
them well, it will be easier to capture them.
Need for affection? Animals like us?
Reika, what do you think about this?
I understand, but we are mammals and dinosaurs are reptiles
so we are very different in almost all aspects.
So it's very difficult for someone to make friends with
with a dinosaur. Understand.
The biggest difference is that they are wild animals.
But first we must capture them using cunning force.
Then we can establish a relationship with the friendly ones.
OK, but watch this and then try to understand.
Even when he is angry, Don calms down when he hears
the sound of my harmonica, music acts on the nerve centers.
Don is a dog, they have been domesticated by humans for several millennia.
To a certain extent they can comprehend music,
- but it's a mammal. - This is true, but ...
Jorge is right, a dinosaur is a terribly ferocious animal.
Well, now all the questions have been answered.
But of all the terrible dinosaurs which one is the most ferocious?
- That's an easy question. - What is it?
There is no doubt, it's the Iguanodon!
Wrong! From my personal experience, the most terrible dinosaur
that exists on Earth is the Triceratops! With those three dreadful
horns on it's forehead, it's the worst.
- What about the carnivorous Allosaurus. - Nah!
- Or the terrible Iguanodon. - I haven't forgotten.
That encounter with the triceratops was really scary.
Let's talk about something else. Are you happy with your job?
Well, it isn't an ideal job, but I like it.
- But why? - Someone's gotta do it.
- So what about Friendship? - Friendship?
Yeah, can dinosaurs such as the Allosaurus and the Stegosaurus be friends.
Why not give the Allosaurus a call and ask him yourself?
Call the Allosaurus? How would we talk?
"Hello! Hello!"
Fool! How could a dinosaur understand us?
That's enough, stop your silly jokes.
A dinosaur is always a dinosaur. Although they aren't very smart
- they are still dangerous. -Your right, Jorge.
We will be more serious.
Reika, don't go too far. Always remember
that your job is to...
...capture dinosaurs and collect primitive plant species.
Do not worry, I'll remember. We'll be back soon.
Don't be afraid, Jorge, I'm with her.
These flowers are large.
They will be very valuable research material.
I hope you have time to study them.
They are really interesting.
A pretty girl is like a flower, but do women and flowers
lose their freshness? But these flowers aren't pretty
and they aren't like women.
Help! It's all over me, Reika, help me out!
The flowers are angry with you because you offended them.
This is the Born Free, we found out where the stegosaurus is.
Get back here soon. We gotta go!
We're coming!
Gon, at this rate we'll never get there.
Can't you go a little faster?
Given the state of the road, this is the fastest speed
- at which we can move. - It's strange! Even at this speed
it will still take a long time to get there.
It seems to me that it's moving too
quickly to be a slow dinosaur.
Are we sure that it's a stegosaurus?
It's moving very fast and at irregular intervals.
At this speed we'll never catch up.
We could move real fast, if we had someone in the air!
Jorge, can do it.
With the Seagull Marino we could see the forest
- then we'll find it. - That's a good idea.
It's night-time now, so we wouldn't be able to see anything.
The tracking system isn't working, let's try something else.
Let's try out the dinosaur call which Gon invented.
Let's try to recreate a females call to a male.
Then let's depart for the primary operation.
Just press the button.
Gon, you're sure it's a mating call?
That's gotta be confusing. That was the cry of a baby stegosaurus
- calling for it's mothers attention. - Stop messing around.
Alright, I'm serious now.
It worked! It's coming back right towards us.
It's less than two kilometers away.
Turn on the super sensitive directional microphone!
Whose are those heartbeats? They definitely aren't
- those of a docile herbivore. - They seem to be from
a locomotive moving on a bumpy rode.
The dinosaur is little more than a mile away.
Setting up the periscope.
Reika, come here and watch!
It donesn't seem to be the eye of a herbivorous dinosaur.
With a scary eye like that it could be the Devil's.
It's heading our way, I guess we'll find out what it is.
- Gon, turn on the light, quick! - Alright, Jorge!
STEGOSAURUS
It smashed up the light!
It's getting out of control, what will happen?
It must be crazy! Why is it attacking?
- Get us out of here. - Understood.
Gara, get out there on the Beagle. Move around outside
until I give tell you to fire the net.
We'll then use the anesthetic charges.
Understood, Captain!
Gon, are you ready?
Gara, look out! We're ready to launch! Fire!
Help! It hit me!
Gon, emergency! We have to use the M.L. rocket launcher!
The M.L. rocket launcher? Are you planning to kill the dinosaur?
Don't worry, Masao, I'm just going to scare him.
We have to save him!
- What can we do, Gara? - Is this the end of the Born Free!
What an entertaining and delightful prospect, right?
Before long the Born Free will be destroyed and the crew along with it.
Or rather, both the dinosaur and the crew will die.
Then we'll be free from any interruptions...
...and we'll get the dinosaurs head and return home in triumph.
Gon, get us out of here!
Use the magnetic motor function.
It's about to strike us again.
The next attack will knock us over.

IN THE NEXT EPISODE: MY FRIEND DINOSAUR
The crazy stegosaurus has started a dinosaur war.
Masao, are you able to show your feelings, Don
believes he can also do the same with the Stegosaurus.
to save the Born Free.
But will the Stegosaurus instead become a murdering dinosaur?
Or will he communicate with Masao?
