The following is a transcript for the Jurassic World: Chaos Theory episode "Aftershock".

[The show's first episode opens with a view of a forest. A man is driving a truck with bags full of stuff in the back, racing past some cars as he listens to music on the radio. Soon, a voice is heard on the radio.]
Male Voice 1: If you've been injured by a dinosaur or flying reptile, you may be entitled to financial compensation--
Male Voice 2: Dinosaurs had their shot. And now we're just supposed to share our world with them and hope that everything turns out okay? [Truck stops and goes around some rocks] Nonsense! What say you, caller?
Female Voice: I do not feel safe, Ross. It was bad enough they made a dinosaur theme park, but at least it was on an island.
Ross: Not so sure those Camp Cretaceous kids would feel the same way. They finally escape, only for one of them to get eaten up back at home? It's enough to make-
[An alarm is registers in the pickup's CB Radio]
Female Voice: This is not a test. Dinosaurs have been sighted off Route 693, near mile marker seven. Department of Prehistoric Wildlife officers have been dispatched.
[The man puts his foot down and speeds the truck up]
Female Voice: Repeat, DPW officers have been dispatched. Please avoid the area.
[Mike is seen inspecting his clothes. He picks up his tranquilizer and follows his partner, Ronnie, and closes his door, and it shows a patch saying "Department of Prehistoric Wildlife". Mike realizes something, and keeps moving. Ronnie notices a dinosaur is there.]
Ronnie: [gets her walkie-talkie ready] DPW dispatch, we've got eyes on the prize.
Female Voice 2: Copy that. Just sit tight, keep your distance. [she hangs up]
[They notices a tree falling over, and Mike gasps. It's revealed to be a Pachyrinhosaurus. It roars and they both get surprised. The Pachyrinosaurus notices a flower and looks at it while Mike and Ronnie watch, and Mike gets his tranquilizer ready.]
Ronnie: Oh, what are you-- Mike! That is an 8,000-pound Pachyrhinosaurus. You wanna try hauling it outta here unconscious?
[The Pachyrhinosaurus notices them but ignores them and continues to eat some plants.]
Mike: [sighs] No.
Ronnie: Good answer. Now, why don't you go back to the truck, grab a net launcher, and put the tranq rifle away before-- [The Pachyrhinosaurus roars and Mike accidentally tranqs the dinosaur.]
Mike: What do we do? [The Pachyrhinosaurus notices them and its eyes widen] What do we do? What do we do?!
[They both notice a truck has stopped behind them before the door opens to reveal Darius Bowman. He gets out of his truck and looks at them, closes his door, and walks up to the two DPW officers]
Darius: Ronnie.
Ronnie: Darius.
Darius: Seems like you, uh, got yourself into a bit of a pickle here.
Ronnie: Yeah. Well, I had a little help [glances at Mike].
Darius: I gathered that. Easy, Tex [pushes Mike's gun down and approaches the dinosaur].
Ronnie: What are you doing?
Darius: I got this, hopefully. Hey there, big fella! [walks up to the Pachyrhinosaurus.] Whoa, now. Just relax. I just came by to say hi. [The Pachyrhinosaurus gets afraid of him and roars.] Whoa! Easy, easy. Now I don't know what your beef with these nice DPW officers is, but why don't we cool things down a bit? You know, a friend of mine claims you can understand what I'm saying, but I think you're probably just responding to the dulcet tone of my voice. Either way, I'm just gonna keep on talking to you, nice and soft, like this.
[He tries to give the Pachyrhinosaurus an apple, but the dinosaur roars and lifts its instead]
Darius: Oh, easy, easy! Whoa! Easy there. Come on, now. Be nice.
[Darius notices some barbed wires stuck on one of its feet]
Darius: Hey. That can't feel too good, no wonder you were acting out.
[He pulls the wires out of the dinosaur's leg and the dinosaur roars in pain, and Darius throws the wires out]
Darius: It's okay.
[He gives the dinosaur an apple, to which it takes and eats it. Darius gives them a thumbs up]
Darius: Thanks for not making me look stupid.
[The dinosaur blinks as Mike claps his hands]
Mike: Wo-ha-how! Wait. Oh, my-- You-- That's-- You're Darius Bowman! Ronnie, that's Darius Bowman!
Ronnie: [clears throat] It sure is. Bring it in, kid [gives him a hug].
Mike: Uh... how do you two know each other?
[Mike leaves the two of them together and approaches the Pachyrhinosaurus]
Ronnie: I used to be his boss. Now, if you're this desperate to chase dinosaurs, we'd gladly have you back at the DPW.
[Mike leaves the two of them together and approaches the Pachyrhinosaurus]
Ronnie: Now, if you're this desperate to chase dinosaurs, we'd gladly have you back at the DPW.
Darius: Not all dinosaurs. Just the one.
Ronnie: I know it's not what you want to hear, but... Catching that dinosaur won't... Won't bring your friend back.
Darius: You really ought to start charging for all this free advice.
Ronnie: I'm serious.
Darius: Me too. You know, you could make a lot of money.
Ronnie: Okay, well, any leads on our allusive Allosaurus?
Darius: Been sightings in this general area. When the alert came over the radio, I thought this might be it. [Mike is seen giving an apple to the Pachyrhinosaurus.]
Ronnie: You know, officially, I should say, "Leave it to the professionals," but... Just be careful.
[Mike is seen laughing and playing with the dinosaur]
Ronnie: You sure you don't wanna come back? It'd be real nice to work with someone competent again.
Darius: Hey, careful! It's still dangerous.
Mike: [laughs] I think he likes me!
[The dinosaur pushes him, causing him to fall over, and the dinosaur smells something]
Mike: Why you so quiet now, big guy?
[Darius shushes Mike and hears and notices something]
Darius: Look out!
[An Allosaurus appears in front of the trio and roars. They all run away but Ronnie and Darius both tripped as the two dinosaurs start fighting. The Allosaurus gets hit on the side and Darius discovers it's one blind eye. The scene cuts to a flashback of the Allosaurus on that fateful night when Darius sees a man looking back at him after the unthinkable happened. The scene cuts back to the present as he watches the two dinosaurs fight each other as Mike tries to get into the DPW truck]
[The two dinosaurs continue fighting each other but then the Allosaurus notices Ronnie and tries to eat her. Without missing a beat, Darius grabs the tranquilizer gun, but the Pachyrhinosaurus bumps the theropod's body as Darius ducks the Allosaurus' tail. The Allosaurus then runs away and Darius tries to tranq it, but it got away before any tranq rounds could be fired]
[Darius runs back to his truck and drives off. He notices the Allosaurus running, and drives faster. The Allosaurus notices Darius and runs in front of the street, causing him to stop his truck and leading some items fall out of the bags in the back. Darius continues to drive after the Allosaurus as it runs up a hill]
[As Darius drives on, the dinosaur notices him again and roars. Darius tries to grab hold of the tranq gun but a pothole bursts one of his tires, forcing him to stop and run after the dinosaur. He gets out of his car but notices that the theropod has disappeared. He grunts in frustration as he fires the tranquilizer upwards and empties it while Mike and Ronnie drive up to him]
Ronnie: You okay?
Darius: I almost had her, Ronnie.
Ronnie: No wonder we haven't caught her yet. She's fast.
Mike: Oh! So fast. I almost took a shot at her too, but then I was like, "Oh, wait, I don't have my rifle." [laughs] You do. You, you have my rifle. [groans]
Darius: I was this close [puts two of his fingers into a pinch-like gesture.
Female Voice 2: Target sighted heading towards Marshall Ridge. All units needed to assist.
Ronnie: We gotta go.
[She gasps as she notices Darius getting back into his truck, seemingly preparing to join the hunt for the Allosaurus as Mike and Ronnie drive up to him]
Ronnie: Darius, no, no, no, no. No. You're not DPW anymore.
Darius: No, I am not.
Ronnie: [grabs the rifle and hands his back to Mike] Therefore, you cannot go after the Allosaurus.
Darius: Wouldn't dream of it. And you take that back, ma'am. Don't even want it. Got no use for it.
Ronnie: [sighs] Darius, please. Go home. And, uh, fix your tire. It's flat.
[Ronnie and Mike drive off as Darius looks out the window to see his flat tire]
Ronnie: That kid's been through a lot.
Mike: You think? I can't imagine being abandoned on a dinosaur infested island-
Ronnie: I'm not talking about the island. I'm talking about what happened after.
[Cut to Darius in his truck]
Darius: Marshall Ridge
[He grabs his phone dials Brooklynn's number as he lowers the sun visor and looks at a picture of him and the rest of the Nublar Six]
Brooklynn's Voicemail: You've reached Brooklynn's phone. No one leaves messages anymore. Just text me. Bye!
Darius: Hey B, it's me. I saw it again, the Allosaurus. I almost had it but, I know where it's heading so I'm gonna go home and gear up. It won't get away this time, I'll get it. Alright, call you after.
[Darius hangs up and drives off, eventually arriving at his cabin. He gets out of his truck and opens the tailgate, groaning at the mess made here. He later shoves the gate open while holding boxes of shopping. He enters his cabin and set the boxes down before noticing his stun prod and gets it ready. He opens his laptop and hears his landline ring but ignores it]
Darius: [Looks at the map on his laptop] Marshall Ridge, Marshall Ridge... Marshall Ridge! Yes!
[He grabs a net launcher and imitates firing a shot before grabbing the stun prod and exiting his cabin] Y
Darius' Voicemail: You've reached the Bowmans, leave a message.
Brand: Hey, bruh. It's Brand.
[The scene cuts to Darius kicking the fence of his cabin and setting his equipment down. He then grabs a spare tire and puts it down, only to discover that it's also flat]
Darius: [exhales] WHY?!
He walks off and goes away before running back and kicking the tire with a frustrated grunt as he tumbles over.]
Brand: I know the cell service is spotty up there, but, since Mom can't get rid of anything nostalgic, put that old-school landline to use and break off a call to the fam so we know you're still alive. And so Mom can stop worrying if you're--
Darius: Hello?
Brand: Oh, Darius! You're there?
Darius: Hey Brand.
Brand: [chuckles] I thought maybe that phone gave out on us, and I was gonna have to check in on my little brother in person. How are you doing?
Darius: I'm good. I'm, I'm good.
Brand: Bro, bro, bro. Why do you think you're talking to? You're not good.
Darius: [sighs] Alright, alright. For real, I'm... working through some things. I'm-I'm better than I was... How's that? [picks up a can of food and prepares to eat]
Brand: Okay, well, at least that's honest. Maybe it would help to talk to your Camp Fam? Kenji, maybe?
Darius: Kenji doesn't wanna hear anything I have to say.
Brand: Alright, look, Mom would kill me if I didn't ask you this stuff. You eating?
Darius: I'm eating [eats a spoonful of something.
Brand: Not just junk food, right?
Darius: Mm... Mm-mm.
Brand: And you're staying out of trouble?
Darius: [with a mouthful of food] Are you staying out of trouble? Mm-hmm. That's what I thought.
Brand: Okay, look. Just remember what Dad always said. Don't get yourself into a situation-
Darius & Brand: You can't get out of.
Darius: [Puts his food down] Listen, you guys don't have to worry about me. I'm okay. Look, man, I really ought to...
Brand: Yeah, yeah. I know. You take care of yourself.
Darius: Tell Mom I love her.
Brand: Will do.
[Darius hangs up and realizes the button beeping on the message pad.]
Male Voice 3: You have seven messages. First message. [He deletes the messages] Message deleted. Message dele-- Message-- Messa-- Messa- Messa- Message deleted. No more messages.
Male Reporter: And here with me live are the improbable survivors of the Jurassic World incident, The Nublar Six! These teens were tragically left behind while attending camp and presumed dead after the fall of Isla Nublar. Then struggled to survive all on their own for nearly a year. How did you do it?
Kenji: Beats me.
Yaz: No clue.
Ben: You gotta look danger in the eye and laugh. [laughs] And that's what I did with Toro, this Carnotaurus I-- [they all laugh]
Sammy: Ben!
Ben: How about the one at Yaz saving us from the Mosasaurus?
Darius: Or how Sammy survived being poisoned by a dinosaur.
Kenji: Remember those Monolopho-whatever that got into the penthouse?
Brooklynn: And we had to go down that elevator shaft.
Male Reporter: You actually faced down all those dinosaurs?
Darius: [chuckling] We sure did. So, I guess to answer your question, we survived because we had each other.
Kenji: So corny! [Brooklynn bumps Kenji with her shoulder] Ow! Brooklynn!
Sammy: Camp Fam for life!
[They all start laughing as Darius pauses the video. He then looks on in sadness, knowing that the team is no longer complete]
[The scene cuts to Darius sleeping in his cabin at night. He was soon woken up by the sudden ringing of his landline. He looks at the clock before walking over to the phone and picking it up]
Darius: Hello? Hello?
[Darius hears a click, and the dial tone rings,. Then he hears the fence rattle and puts the phone down as he notices something coming to his front porch. He grabs his stun prod and gets it ready, he looks through the blinds of his door's window to find nothing's there.]
[He opens the door and tries to stun whatever intruder has come to home, only to find someone grabbing his stun prod]
Ben: Whoa!
[Darius looks on to find the intruder to be his friend Ben Pincus]
Ben: Darius. You are home.
Darius: Ben? Ben, I-- What are you doing here? I'm never gonna get used to... this [raises his left hand up to Ben's height].
Ben: Yeah, me neither [Darius hugs Ben].
Darius: It's so great to see you. Uh, how's college?
Ben: Um, actually, I'm taking a little break. Hey, would you look at this place? This is really-- Wow, great stuff, man.
Darius: Uh, thanks. Look, I know I haven't been in touch with you or, well, anyone lately, but I--
Ben: I remember the view here's just... [pulls the blinds down] breathtaking.
Darius: It is, when it's not the middle of the night.
Ben: You get much rainfall?
Darius: Ben, we've known each other for a long time, and maybe it's time to tell me what you're doing here.
Ben: I kinda wanted to ease into it.
Darius: Yeah, I'd say that ship has sailed.
Ben: Right. Okay. Okay. Um... [sighs] Here it goes. Try not to freak out. [sighs] So, that night, that awful night that... The Allosaurus--
Darius: The Allosaurus! That's what this is about. You're-- You're tracking the Allosaurus too.
Ben: What?
Darius: I saw it today, Ben. I'm heading after it in the morning. You can come with me. We're gonna need more supplies. [groans] I almost had it. I was so close. I even called Brooklynn to tell her that-
Ben: Wait, what? Darius... Brooklynn is dead.
Darius: I know. Of course, I know that. It's just that... I guess her dads never deactivated her voicemail, so... Sometimes I call her, to hear her voice, to tell her stuff, to say I'm sorry.
Ben: It wasn't your fault.
Darius: We both know that isn't true, Ben. If I had met her that night, like I said I would, then she might--
Ben: No. That's why I'm here. It wouldn't have mattered. Brooklynn's death was no accident. She was targeted. That Allosaurus-
Darius: Is a wild animal, Ben! A mindless killer! When I finally got there, when I saw... It was a random dinosaur attack. Happens way too often these days.
Ben: It wasn't random! There's too much coincidence. What was Brooklynn even doing there that night? She never told you, did she? And how did she and the Allosaurus end up at the same place at the same time? How did the DPW truck respond so quickly? Why wasn't her phone recovered from the scene? Something's off. I've been reading some stuff on Dark Jurassic--
Darius: Dark Jurassic? That website where all those randos share their weird dinosaur conspiracy theories?
Ben: We're actually an online community of like-minded individuals who--
Darius: Ben!
Ben: Some of those theories, are a lot more sane than you think. Come see.
[Ben walks over to Darius' laptop and logs in to Dark Jurassic, the latter joins him]
Ben: I was on the site reading all about Allosaurus migration patterns and looking at leaked crime scene photos. All of a sudden, someone anonymously starts asking me if I was a member of the Nublar Six. I figured it was a goof, but then I started getting DMs, hostile DMs, asking why I was so interested in the night Brooklynn died. Look!
[The two of them looked at the messages tab to find absolutely nothing there]
Ben: What?! They're not here. Someone must've deleted them.
Darius: Look, Ben. It's been tough on all of us since we got back to the mainland.
Ben: [grunts and puts the laptop down] DON'T PATRONIZE ME DARIUS! Something is goin' on! [turns the lights off]
Darius: Why do you keep turning off the lights?!
Ben: Because we're being HUNTED! Those messages I got? They were threats. Whoever killed Brooklynn is comin' after the rest of us, too. You, me, Yaz, Sammy, Kenji, We're all in danger. We have to find out why, and who's after us, before it's too late.
Darius: How do you know? [turns the lights back on] Where's your proof?!
Ben: I... don't have any.
Darius: [sighs] So you show up here, prank call me, then go on and on-
Ben: I didn't prank call you. I didn't call you at all.
[They both hear faint tapping and Darius turns off the lights. Ben turns around and gasps upon seeing the shadow of a raptor behind the blinds.]
Darius: Random dinosaur.
Ben: Why didn't your fence alarm go off? I closed the gates behind-
Darius: [shushes] If we stay quiet, they'll just move on and-
[The raptor breaks through the window and begins sizing them up. Darius notices his stun prod and runs to grab it, the raptor pounces but bumps into the bookshelf instead, knocking it down and trapping the dromaeosaur. Another raptor breaks through the kitchen window, leading a frightened Ben to run up the stairs, as the first raptor try to bite Darius' foot]
[The second raptor climbs on top of the stairs trying to get Ben but he jumps off the stairs. When the dinosaur follows him instead, he tries to shield himself with a desk so the raptor wouldn't get him, but it breaks through and tries to bite Ben. Darius runs over the downed bookshelf, grabs his stun prod and tosses it to Ben]
[The first raptor broke free but Darius grabs his net launcher and shoots it just as the dromaeosaur got close. At the same time, Ben electrocutes the second raptor before following Darius outside, breathing heavily as they rested on the porch. Darius gasps as he notices a third raptor]
Darius: Oh, crud.
[The third raptor glares at them and runs to them as the episode ends]
