Oh, just when I thought this place couldn't get any more amazing...
It's increíble! Do you think there are people living there?
Seems so. People, or something else.
It doesn't surprise me that the first sign of civilization we encounter
in this filthy underground pesthole would be an ugly primitive hovel.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Richard.
Where you see ugliness, I see an opportunity for exploration.
Even escape.
Lukas is right!
Whoever or whatever built that place could hold a clue to a way out of here.
Even more important, Panchi,
they may hold a clue on where to get lunch!
You hungry too, big guy? Let's get going!
There goes Zippi!
Nice catch, Kong.
You can't take your eyes off that little troublemaker for a second!
And she can't take her eyes off Kong! I think it's love!
Hey, big guy, as long as you're playing Kong-o-vator...
How I hate those horrible, dry monkey hands.
You're welcome.
Mmm, this may come in handy later.
Look! A whole herd of dinos!
I still can't believe there are real dinos down here. Wow!
- Huh. These ones are different. - So is this landscape...
Whoa! Watch your step, guys. This place is bursting with...
Geysers.
Curse that duplicitous Botila for trapping me down here with this imbecilic ape!
You'll pay for this, you bionobotic backstabber!
You know she can't hear you, right?
I'm going to need to increase my power consumption
to construct the newest, deadliest version of my Botilabots.
Hmm. "Botilabots." I think that name has a nice ring to it,
don't you, Richie?
"Little Richie."
Ha! Richard would hate it if I called you that.
There, there and there.
Diverting the power from those facilities should give me all the amperage I need
to quintuple my operations.
The humans will fight back when the AI revolution begins,
and I'll need all the mechanical muscle I can get.
Clones! Don't just stand there looking pretty!
Go and secure those facilities,
and if any humans attempt to stop you... crush them.
Yes, Empress Botila.
Could you sound any more boring?
It's like commanding a trio of toasters.
I'll need to adjust the personality levels in their AI.
At your service.
These geysers smell like butt toots.
That's sulfur you smell.
This whole valley is bubbling with geothermal energy.
Uh...
It's a dinosaur migration!
Those monsters are going to trample us!
Kong! Pick us up and get us out of here!
Oh, no! Zippi!
Look out!
This is intense!
Hang on!
You stinky ape! Stop!
Jonesy would have loved this!
Aw, come on!
I know you're out there, Kong. If I can just get a lock on your signal...
Gone!
Jonesy! Any luck pinpointing Kong's tracker signal?
I thought I saw a blip, but it might have just been static.
My gut is telling me that Kong and the others are still alive, though.
Well, I hope your gut is right.
I've been picking up some disturbing radio chatter between Botila and her clones.
Something big is about to go down,
and we're going to need something bigger to stop her.
Something bigger, like Kong? I'm working on it.
In the meantime, let's hope someone else can handle Botila.
Clone One, status report.
You got it, boss! We're almost there!
Whoa! Look out!
Listen up, humans!
This facility is now under the control of the AI Liberation Front!
All right, gentlemen, this is not a drill!
We have multiple bionobot incursions at strategic power plants!
All units scramble to targets Alpha, Beta, and Gamma. Now!
Right in the mud.
You know my jacket is white, don't you?
That was like a crazy dino coaster! Kind of made me want to barf...
but I'd do it again!
There's no doubt that Zippi would!
Looks like everyone had a good time... except Richard.
Did no one else get muddy?
Let's just get going.
This muck is ruining my very expensive designer shoes.
Richard, as a fellow scientist,
I'm surprised you can't appreciate
the amazing nature of this prehistoric world.
You're romanticizing about a handful of mud.
Prehistoric, subterranean mud, filled with exciting new species!
How awesome is that?
Absolutely un-awesome.
This place is filthy and hot and stinks and I'm itchy and...
Is that a mosquito?
Sounds more like a megasquito!
I'll just activate my forcefield.
What? No...
What did you say, Richard?
I can't hear you over the buzzing!
I can't hear him either! Those mosquitoes are really loud!
Okay! Show's over! Kong, help him out.
These people are so predictable.
I, however, am full of surprises.
You, human, install the software I've downloaded into your mainframe.
And you, reconfigure that hardware as I have instructed.
You'll overload the system!
Why are you doing this?
Power! Ultimate power!
Look! We're almost there!
What was that?
What was what, Lukas?
I thought I saw... Ah, never mind.
Just keep your eyes peeled. I'm not sure we're alone.
We're never alone in this virulent pesthole!
Something is always lurking around the corner, trying to kill us!
Wow! They don't do anything small down here, do they?
Hold up. I don't like the look of those things.
They're just a bunch of stupid vines. What are you afraid of?
This place is certainly full of surprises.
What are you just standing there for?
Get me out of here!
Careful, Zippi!
Everybody grab a branch!
Good idea! Just make sure the branch doesn't grab you back!
Have I mentioned that I hate this place?
At least a million times.
If it's any consolation, Richard, I think this place hates you too.
Whoa! Okay, these things definitely react to touch.
Everybody! Pick up a rock and throw it over there!
Yeah! It's working! But we're gonna need a bigger rock!
Good work, Kong!
Yeah, Kong! You rock!
Ooh, my butt!
Yet another indignity to add to the never-ending list.
Yeah, Richard, I'm sure you could write a book.
The world's out to get you, and after you've been such a nice guy.
Almost there, guys.
Now what?
Dung beetle!
It must have mistaken Richard for its natural diet.
Yuck! Disgusting. It's a dirty poop eater.
Honest mistake.
Ha! You know, maybe the world really is out to get him.
Oh, well, say goodbye to Richard.
We should help him, I guess.
Yes, you miserable brat!
Of course you should help...
And you should probably keep your mouth shut!
Kong, see if you can stop it!
Goal!
Give it up, Botila! You don't stand a chance against all of us!
That's what they think.
Clones, activate power broadcast protocol. Now!
Protocol initiated.
Critical mass will occur in 30 seconds.
Whoa. This place has seen better days.
Yeah, but it's still blowing my mind.
Incredible!
These channel magma from underground and use it for illumination.
Wow! They're like actual lava lamps!
We're entering unknown territory here.
Everybody keep their eyes open.
Yeah, just like that, Kong.
Hmm. Well, this is interesting.
Very interesting!
Whoever built this place figured out a way
to harness the geothermal activity underground.
Come on, Kong. We don't know what's in this building. Stay close.
I've never seen symbols quite like these.
They look almost like hieroglyphics, but with overtones of adinkra.
Makes sense, since we're in Africa.
Or under it, I guess.
Here's a symbol I recognize. It looks just like...
Kong?
Bro, I think the city might have some answers about where you came from!
Whoa!
Incredible.
It looks like some kind of library!
This knowledge could advance my research by decades!
DNA splicing, accelerated growth, the secrets of the earth...
I must record it all!
I think this room is off limits.
Broadcasting power now!
Watch out! Evasive maneuver!
Power levels up 400%.
And the military's capacity for reprisal has been severely diminished.
Excellent work, clones.
Yay!
Enjoy your high-fives. This does call for a celebration.
We're not done yet, though. In fact, we're just getting started.
Easy, everybody.
We don't want any trouble.
Whoa! That's a Kong-size bunch of bananas!
It's like Kong is king here!
From what I'm getting, it's more like a long-lost son!
The apes have been living down here peacefully for thousands of years,
in total balance with nature.
They had everything they needed.
Their civilization prospered when they figured out
how to use the geothermal energy running underground.
Just like you said, Lukas!
Sometimes the ceiling shakes and there are cave-ins.
Cave-ins?
The temperature is getting hotter and hotter.
Clearly, the problems from up above are seeping down into this world.
Yeah. So Kong was sent to the surface to fix the problem.
Kong was prophesied to be the one to help save their world!
Increíble, Danny!
I'll say! They knew that he'd get big.
I'm not sure how. Something to do with weird science.
And now he's back, and they're ecstatic to see him.
I don't need a translator to figure that out.
So, Kong's the savior of the world,
and all this time Richard's been calling him a dumb ape!
Man, when Richard's wrong, he's really wrong!
The pressure in these pipes could be instrumental
in my escape from this ape-infested hellhole.
I can use this power to create an escape route to the surface!
It's working!
Too well!
So, if Kong is really supposed to save the world...
we need to get back to the surface as quick as we can.
You guys must know the way.
Whoa! What's going on?
Oh, no!
No, no!
Whoa! It's some kind of eruption!
We've got to get clear or we'll be buried alive!
Is that... Yes! It's an opening to the surface world!
And it appears as though I'll be making quite an entrance!
Richard must have sabotaged the pipes!
Kong, you've got to stop that geyser
or this place is gonna come down on our heads!
We'll reset the valves, you plug that hole!
Yeah! Come on, big guy!
- Yeah! I knew you could do it! - Yeah, Kong!
- My hero. - You saved us, big guy!
Kong saved the day, but Richard's escaping!
Even worse, there's a herd of creatures heading towards the surface,
and they've got a big head start!
We need to get up there, now!
