STORY BY CHASE KUERTZ
OPEN ON:
DARKNESS.
FADE TO:
A puddle of water lay still in a muddy jungle. We can
here the crickets chirp, as well as other animals.
Then, they start to fade away until only the crickets
are left chirping. Immediately the crickets stop
and the puddle becomes active after a loud thump makes
rings in the puddle.
CUT TO:
1 EXT. COSTA RICA - NIGHT 1
The sky is dark but clear.
PAN DOWN
To see the top of trees belonging to a jungle. This is
the edge of the jungle though and beside it is a grassy
field and a small one-story house.
SUBTITLE
HEREDIA, COSTA RICA
Outside, all is quiet as a slight breeze picks up.
Suddenly the ferns lightly rustle and a soft snarl can
be heard. But is this only tricks of the wind?
CUT TO:
2 INT. HOUSE - DARK 2
Inside the house. All is dark, the occupants long asleep.
In one bedroom, a man and woman sleep soundlessly.
Suddenly, we are so aware of the quietness that we can
only notice the sounds that are not supposed to be there.
CUT TO:
Still inside the house, but looking at the main door.
Suddenly the doorknob starts to rattle and slowly turn.
CUT BACK TO:
Man and Woman sleeping. The sound of the door creaking
open is heard, but they still sleep. Something can be
heard walking across the floor. Suddenly the footsteps
stop and a clicking is heard.
We then hear a sniffing sound and the footsteps start
up again as a shadow quickly passes by the doorway,
illuminated by the moonlight. It was a quick shadow,
But from what we see, it looked like it belonged to a VELOCIRAPTOR. We then
hear a baby crying and both
parents snap their eyes wide open,
hearing the baby. They jump out of bed and rush out
into the hall and to the baby room, turning on the
light once they enter. They rush over to the crib, only
finding it empty, the sheets ripped up and blood
smeared on them. The father, ROBERTO CARTER, notices
the window was broken.
ROBERTO CARTER
(SCREAMING)
Julia, stay here!
ROBERTO turns and rushes out of the room, hearing his
wife crying back at the crib. He runs to the door,
finding it wide open and runs outside, barefooted and
no shirt on. He looks around, seeing nothing, but
hearing the baby crying. He runs to the back of the
house, where the sound is coming from, just in time to
see the ferocious beast turn and snarl at him. We can't
exactly see what it truly is because it's dark, only
guess. The dark creature's foot rears back and slices
ROBERTO'S chest open. Blood spurts out onto the grass
as he cries out in pain and agony. He SCREAMS.
CUT OUT.
3 INT. LEVINE'S APARTMENT - DAY 3
A NEWS REPORTER is sitting at her desk, a pile of
papers in front of her.
SUBTITLE
NEW JERSEY, 2004
REPORTER
This is the eighth reported 'child
napping' in rural locations close to
or surrounding the Costa Rican
jungles in the last month. Not to
mention, the reports all involve a
large or small creature entering the
house. Authorities are looking into
this as well as big name scientists
and zoologists. Roberto Carter, a local
resident and father of the two
month-year-old infant is unable for
interview because of his injuries.
PAN OUT:
To show that this is a news program on someone's TV.
The apartment is only a small one-bedroom apartment
with a couple of extra rooms for whatever. (Including
a kitchen and bathroom.) clothes is all over the place,
posters are only half-hanging on the wall, the other
half drooping over. There is a map of COSTA RICA on the
wall, pins are marking certain locations on it. In the
kitchen, pots, pans, and dirty dishes fill the sinks
and counters. In the bedroom, the bed is unmade and
books and papers are all over the place, though a desk
by the wall is perfectly clean except for three neatly
stacked books by the side and a lamp at the top. Back
in the living room, a person in his late 30's,
DR. RICHARD LEVINE, lay on his couch watching the News
report. He has short black hair and is kind of muscular.
Right now he's focusing on his eye lids and the
report at the same time.
FLASHBACK:
LEVINE is sitting on a subway train, looking around,
when suddenly a man dressed in black walks on and sits
in a seat close to him. LEVINE begins to snap his
fingers. We can see that he has recognised this man.
It's no other than IAN MALCOLM. LEVINE walks close by
him and then sits in a seat in front. MALCOLM just
reads at the paper he has just picked up.
LEVINE
You're him, right?
MALCOLM
Excuse me?
LEVINE
(SHRUGGING)
The scientist...The guy...I saw you on TV.
IAN MALCOLM simply turns his head away, ignoring him.
LEVINE (cont'd)
I believed you...
MALCOLM just shakes his head.
LEVINE (cont'd)
(CLASPING HIS HANDS TOGETHER)
Rawwwwr.
END FLASHBACK.
LEVINE sits up as the REPORTER continues.
REPORTER
For more information on this, please
visit our website at www.cnn-news.com.
You can also send in any information
to us about these creatures. I'm Judie
Watson of CNN news.
The address appears on the bottom of the screen. LEVINE
smiles and heads on over to the computer, typing in the
address almost immediately. The excitement is
overwhelming him, this we can see. Suddenly, the main
page comes up. He clicks on the news heading and he
finds the many pictures of footprints.
LEVINE
(Whispering)
I knew it!
CUT TO:
4 INT. COLLEGE HALLWAY - DAY 4
The VELOCIRAPTOR'S jaws hang open just a tad, it's eyes
piercing the two humans in front of him, and a roar
comes from the inside of his mouth. Some how though,
IAN MALCOLM isn't impressed. The STUDENT beside him
moves over to him.
STUDENT
So...Dr. Malcolm...what do you think of
it?
MALCOLM is dressed in black leather from head to toe.
He shakes his head back in forth. We see that he's
apparently disgusted by it.
MALCOLM
It's shit... There's no menace.
STUDENT
No menace?
MALCOLM
Uh, they never stand like this,
flatfooted on two feet. Give him a
book.
(GRABS STUDENT'S BOOK)
...And he might be singing a Christmas
carol.
STUDENT
Gee, I didn't think it was that bad.
MALCOLM
Uh, bad? This is an insult to a great
predator. Give a great predator his
due. Uh, look at the jaw, it's
supposed to be wide open. Open it's
jaws. Uh, take that foot down there
and rear it up in attack mode. And
take out that silly roar, this thing
needs to be ferocious, not a child's
toy.
He walks off, still shaking his head. The STUDENT seems
Hurt, but MALCOLM'S just annoyed.
MALCOLM walks to the entrance of his office.
CUT TO:
5 INT. LEVINE'S OFFICE - DAY 5
Holding his cordless phone in his hands, LEVINE dials
MALCOLM'S number. He nods his head, waiting for an
answer.
MALCOLM (V.O.)
Ian Malcolm's office.
LEVINE
Ian, it's me, Richard.
MALCOLM (V.O.)
Richard? Oh, Richard! I haven't
talked to you in a few years. Are you
still looking for your 'lost world'?
LEVINE
Ian, I've found it. Meet me at Olive
Garden at 2:00.
MALCOLM
Uh, Richard, I'm kind of busy with a
new book and...
LEVINE
Catching up isn't long to do, Ian.
Besides, I have strong evidence. Have
you not listened to CNN lately?
MALCOLM
Politicians...got to hate them.
LEVINE
Please meet me, Ian.
Silence is over the phone. We see LEVINE waiting
impatiently for MALCOLM'S answer.
MALCOLM
Ok, Richard, you've got yourself a
date.
CUT TO:
6 INT. RESTAURANT - DAY 6
PAN UP:
From the briefcase next to LEVINE'S seat to MALCOLM and
LEVINE, they just now ordered their meal and are
putting their menus up.
MALCOLM
You expect me to believe you,
Richard?
LEVINE sits there, he doesn't know what to say.
MALCOLM (cont'd)
I mean, from the moment I first met
you you told me I was a goofball.
Sure, I had no physical evidence, but...
LEVINE
I understand how you feel, Ian. But,
unlike you did, I have substantial
evidence in hand.
MALCOLM nods.
LEVINE (cont'd)
Alright, look at these pictures.
(Hands Malcolm papers)
What you see is what you get... Those
are footprints, Ian. Footprints of
the very things that used to walk the
earth 65 million years ago.
Sizes of them vary from two inches in
length to five feet in length.
MALCOLM stares blankly at the photos.
MALCOLM
I'm sure you have more stuff...
Remember back in 1998, when we looked
forever to find a location. We got to
the point of South America. Went up
there...didn't find anything. Where
else is there to go?
LEVINE
Costa Rica, Ian, Costa Rica!
MALCOLM
You can't be serious?
LEVINE
Sure am. I keep getting calls about
these animals appearing. The last
call I had was nine months ago.
Unfortunately, I was in Siberia
looking at a frozen mammoth, and I
couldn't get back in time. But I'm
told it was some kind of very large,
atypical lizard, found dead in the
jungle of Costa Rica.
MALCOLM
And? What happened to it?
LEVINE
The remains were burned.
MALCOLM
So nothing was left?
LEVINE
That's right. No photographs, no
proof.
MALCOLM
So it could have been made up.
LEVINE
Perhaps, but I think it's worth
mounting an expedition, to find out
about these reported survivals.
MALCOLM grunts and eases in his seat.
MALCOLM
No offence, Richard, but a story
means nothing. The evidence your
withholding could be misleading.
LEVINE
And wonder if it's not. It's the
chance of a life time, Ian. A chance
to see real breathing creatures that
were always a mystery to us.
MALCOLM
I've had my share of them... More than
I can chew.
MALCOLM takes a sip of coke.
LEVINE
Come on, Ian.
MALCOLM
The islands are both destroyed,
there's no way in hell animals could
have made it to the mainland.
LEVINE
Who the hell said anything about
InGen's dinosaurs?
MALCOLM
Listen, I'll fund your expedition
there, but I still think it's pure
fantasy. I'll do anything to see
you get proven wrong! In the mean
time, find more convincing evidence.
LEVINE
Nice offer...but I'm rich you know.
I can pay myself. Would you go if I
set up a team?
MALCOLM
No probably not.
LEVINE
I see.
MALCOLM takes a glance at LEVINE. He notices that his
eyes look to blank. He sees that he's got dark circles
around them as well.
MALCOLM
Richard, go talk to Thorne about it,
and get some sleep, you look terrible.
CUT TO:
7 INT. THORNE'S WORKSHOP - DAY 7
JACK THORNE walked around looking at the development of
his two new vehicles and motorcycle. We can here them
doing a lot of drilling. THORNE is a bulky man in his
middle 20's, he has on a blue T-shirt with dirty blue
jeans. There are a couple of tears in them, but he
doesn't seem to care about it.
THORNE
Freddy, you still working on the
painting for that cycle?
FREDDY, a worker of his, looks up from behind the motorcycle.
FREDDY
Yeah, what you need?
THORNE
You'll see, just finish the second
coat and meet me in my office.
ARBY, THORNE'S 15-year-old brother, runs to him, throwing
his sleeping bag at him. THORNE catches it in mid-air
and smiles.
THORNE (cont'd)
How's my little bro doing?
ARBY
Better than you, I hope.
THORNE
Just because you don't have to work
yet, doesn't mean you should take
advantage of me, Arb.
ARBY
Well...
(BEAT)
I did.
LEVINE enters from the large garage door that was now
open.
LEVINE
(YELLS)
Thorne, how long we got on these things?
THORNE turns around.
THORNE
I'd say about three weeks tops. I
have to get the rest of the vehicles
built, paint job done, the air pumped
in the tires, and definitely a field
test.
LEVINE shows a face that's confusing. It looks as
though he's disappointed. But he shrugs it off
immediately.
LEVINE
Alright, that'll do.
And with that, LEVINE was out the door. THORNE didn't
think nothing of it. He turned to ARBY.
THORNE
Well, kido, let's set you up in my
apartment.
CUT TO:
8 INT. THORNE'S APARTMENT - DAY 8
THORNE's apartment is clean, papers neatly stacked on
desks, cloths precisely packed in his suit case,
not like it fit his description of himself.
ARBY
I find it hard to believe your room
is clean.
ARBY threw his sleeping bag onto the sofa.
THORNE
Since when did you go by appearances?
He said nothing, just quickly went to the refrigerator.
ARBY
It's tight that you get your own
apartment right at your business.
ARBY looks out the window after taking out some milk.
He sees hundreds of men at work.
THORNE
It was Cousin Eddie's. This is his
second building, he gave the other
away to Ed James, his friend from
college.
ARBY
I never knew Eddie. Was he cool?
THORNE
He was a motor-mouth, but otherwise,
he was pretty cool.
ARBY drank from the carton of milk.
ARBY
What's up with this Richard Levine?
THORNE
Oh, hell, he's a friend of mine.
He's setting up some expedition.
That's why we are working so hard on
these vehicles. Rich kid though, does
what ever he wants. He gives spoiled
a bad name. I wish I could say the
same thing about his
apartment to say the least.
ARBY
What expedition?
THORNE
Don't know, don't care. Money's big
so... For months we've been modifying
his field vehicles, and finally we
are on the right track. He wants
them light, I build them light. He
wants them strong, I build them
strong - light and strong both, why
not, it's just impossible what he's
asking for. But with enough titanium
and honeycarbon composite, we're
doing it anyway.
ARBY
I might be a kid, Jack, but I know
that doing something without knowing
why is very unwise. Wonder if it's
dangerous? Mom would have a fit.
THORNE
If it is, Arb, then it doesn't matter.
I'm a grown man.
From the apartment door comes the sound of three
knocks. THORNE takes a step towards it but before he
could get any closer, ARBY had already flung the door
wide open to see who it is.
Standing before him was a beautiful, slim female with
long curly brown hair, looking to be in her late 20's.
This is LAURIE HIDWAY, THORNE'S girlfriend.
ARBY
Wow, you get all the hot ones!
LAURIE looks at Arby and laughs.
LAURIE
This must be your little cousin. Hi
Arby.
ARBY
Hi.
THORNE pulls ARBY back and rubs his hair.
THORNE
See, I told you he was a wise ass.
He looks Back at LAURIE as he steps back to let her in.
LAURIE
Hi babe.
LAURIE and THORNE kiss on the lips and then part.
THORNE
So what are you doing here?
Throne motions to the couch, allowing Laurie to sit.
She does.
LAURIE
Just on my way downtown and thought
I'd stop by to see if you guys wanted
to come.
THRONE
I can't, I've got some work to do.
All these vehicle's require lots of
work. I have to manage everything
around this damned place.
ARBY grits his teeth.
ARBY
Come on, Jack, let me go with her.
I have nothing better to do here. You
have your job and now...
(He gets a better look at her)
I have mine!
ARBY winks.
THORNE
No, you'd be all over my woman!
ARBY rolls his eyes.
LAURIE
Just let him come, Jack. I can handle
a 15 year-old!
(Winks at ARBY)
ARBY laughs out loud, THORNE just gives out a little
smile, then stands in front of him.
THORNE
Don't you be pulling any moves on her.
LAURIE
Oh, come on now, you know me. I'll be
pulling moves on him.
ARBY
(SARCASTICLY)
Yes!
THORNE
I know. That's what I'm afraid of.
LAURIE kisses THORNE again and her and ARBY leave the
apartment, closing the door behind them. THORNE sighs
with relief.
THORNE
Well, he's out of my hair.
CUT TO:
9 INT. THORNE'S WORKSHOP - DAY 9
Back to THORNE'S garage where the cars are being worked
on continuously. A man by the name of TROY ORBISON
comes in looking intensely at the work that's happening.
He seems to be thinking every few seconds. He takes his
bag that's over his shoulder and lays it down on the
hard concrete floor.
WORKER
Hot wire that computer system in
there.
TROY has a surprised look.
CUT TO:
10 INT. THORNE'S OFFICE - DAY 10
We are now back to his office, located on the right side
as you walk into his apartment. He's looking at papers
and the clock simultaneously. We get the feeling he's
actually nervous, from what we don't know.
Now, TROY ORBISON walks into his apartment, and THORNE
looks up and sees him through the glass door.
TROY
Mr. Thorne?
THORNE
In here...
TROY notices and walks straight into his office.
TROY
Ah, Mr. Thorne, great to see you.
(Hand shakes THORNE)
And it must be great to have a pro at
this expedition.
THORNE
I do what I can to make the best vehicles
money has to offer, Mr...
TROY
Orbison, Troy Orbision.
TROY smoothly sits into the chair and sinks in.
THORNE
Comfortable, Mr. Orbison?
TROY
Very...
THORNE
That's the way you'll feel when you go
with me on this little adventure. So,
what do you do?
TROY
I film and dig up ancient animals.
THORNE raises an eyebrow.
THRONE
Dig up dinosaurs?
TROY
Sure do. Expert on them. But I'm
here to film.
THORNE
I'm telling you, I'm wondering what
it is Levine's got up his sleeve.
TROY
Same here.
THORNE chuckles.
THORNE
Ah, hell, you don't know either, I
thought I could have begged it out
of you.
TROY
No sir, no questions asked. I need the
money.
CUT TO:
11 INT. AUDITORIUM - DARK 11
A COLLEGE auditorium is full of students watching the
masterful debates of DR. MALCOLM and the white haired
DR. ALVIN.
MALCOLM
And what killed the dinosaurs,
Dr. Alvin?
ALVIN
I think it's really self-explanatory,
Dr. Malcolm. Nothing did. They are
found in present day birds across
the country.
MALCOLM
Ah... that's where you are wrong.
Evolution played no key part in their
disappearances. Evidence number one:
a particular finding had a dinosaur
foot and a human foot on the same
level of ground. Only suggesting that
they were both in the same age and time.
ALVIN
Correction: it wasn't human.
MALCOLM
No, it was. Evidence number two,
class: cave paintings and paintings
on objects that they made showed a
form of dinosaur on them. Very
interesting find too. And then we
come to why scientists try so
desperately to hide these kind of
evidence and not publish them into a
book. They know it goes against their
own belief, same thing with Evolution.
Scientists have evidence that go
against it. One of them is that they
have never found a middle species. Only
the species after it that was formed.
Why is that? If the theory of Evolution
can be so true, why the hell would we
not have a middle forming species?
Instead, scientists take their so
called educated guesses as to what
the forming species would look like.
But no evidence of them have never
been found. If there were life forms
that were formed in the beginning,
why couldn't there be some after? Why
can't species be created that are
similar? A scientist will find his or
her bones such as birds to look
similar to dinosaur bones and they
come up with the conclusion that they
are related? Not the kind of
assumption that should be taken as fact.
DR. ALVIN stands dumbfounded at his podium.
ALVIN
Dr. Malcolm, I thought you believed
in Evolution?
MALCOLM
I do, but not the theory of
Evolution, Dr. Alvin. There's a
difference. A moth that was a bright
color in the late 1800's found itself
to not be adequately matching the
trees because of the pollution we did
back then. It left ashes all over
the trees and darkened them. They
soon adapted to fit their surrounding
and became darker. Then, we outlawed
how much pollution we were to put out,
causing the moth's to adapt once
again. This is the kind of evolution
I believe in. After all, Dr. Alvin,
evolution means change doesn't it?
DR. ALVIN just stands there.
CUT TO:
12 INT. MALCOLM'S OFFICE - DARK 12
MALCOLM'S hand is over the receiver. In the chair in
front of him is HEROLD JOHNSON, an old man in his late
60s.
MALCOLM
Herold, it's for you. Go pick it up
in the office next to mine. Line 3.
HEROLD nods, then, exits out the door.
MALCOLM grunts and punches in a number. A message machine comes, we can recognise the voice, it's RICHARD LEVINE.
LEVINE (cont'd)
Leave a message if you want me.
BEEP
MALCOLM
Richard, it's Ian. Where are you, it's
been since this morning that I called
and you weren't there. Well, it's 5:33
P.M. and you still aren't in.
He hangs up the phone, furious. His patience for him as
been ever ending and he's finally lost his nerve. Now
he feels like doing something risky. He quickly takes
back the phone and punches in another number.
MALCOLM waits for an answer. A voice picks up after the
third ring.
THORNE (V.O.)
Jack Thorne.
MALCOLM
Thorne, it's Malcolm. You receive any
messages about Levine leaving
anywhere?
THORNE (V.O.)
No, haven't heard a thing. Something
wrong?
MALCOLM
Yeah, he's missing.
THORNE (V.O.)
Missing? It's not uncommon for him to
take trips to places without telling
anybody. He does it all the time.
MALCOLM
Well, anyway, he might have already
gone.
THORNE (V.O.)
To what? Costa Rica? Why the hell
would he ever do that?
MALCOLM rolls his eyes.
MALCOLM
You know as well as I do that he's an
inpatient fool. You could get a doctor
to tell him to wait five minutes and
he's running out of the hospital at
the first two.
THORNE (V.O.)
Who the hell does he have that we
don't?
MALCOLM
Don't know, but I want you to go and
break into his apartment and look for
some evidence.
THORNE (V.O.)
Evidence of what?
MALCOLM
Anything that remotely relates to
Costa Rica.
CUT TO:
13 INT. LEVINE'S APARTMENT - NIGHT 13
ARBY took glances at the dirtied apartment.
ARBY
How can a rich guy live like this?
THORNE
Beats the hell out of me.
THORNE looked around at cardboard boxes. One was marked
with a triangular symbol. He snatched papers out of it.
ARBY
And I thought your credit card was
done for.
THORNE
Well, if it broke I could always get
another.
ARBY looks over and sees a sheet of paper. On it are
hastily scribbled notes. But there is three words on it
that are circled.
ARBY
Take a look at this!
(Hands THORNE paper)
THORNE
Hmmm...
THORNE reads.
THORNE (cont'd)
Well, it's in Spanish. It says la
lagartija agresivo.
ARBY
What does it mean?
THORNE
Umm... If I'm correct it means
'hostile lizard'.
ARBY
What is it really?
THORNE
I don't know...maybe a place of some
kind. Prossibly in Costa Rica.
THORNE looks over and sees that the closet is wide
opened. He walks over to it. That's when he notices the
computer. It's marked with a symbol and the name BIOSYN
CORP right on the side.
THORNE (cont'd)
Biosyn...now where have I heard that
before?
ARBY
I think we have enough evidence. I say
we get out of here.
THORNE
No...wait.
He takes a slip of paper in his hands.
It reads:
La Lagartija Agresivo...Where is it???
Possibility: Near the Meseta Central.
THORNE
I think I've found something that might
just help us!

14 EXT - FRENCH OUTSIDE RESTAURANT - CLEAR BRIGHT DAY 14
RICHARD LEVINE walks in a crowd of people. Everyone
talking and carrying objects. He finally finds a seat
to sit down and order some meal. He is in FRANCE.
From up ahead we see another man. This is a MEXICAN
named DIEGO. The pilot has a bag hanging over his
shoulder and he finds LEVINE and sits down.
DIEGO
Ca Va!
(How's it going?)
LEVINE
Ca Va, Merci, l'ami.
(Fine, thank you, friend.)
DIEGO
Ha ha, you still know French!
LEVINE
You were a great teacher, Diego.
I respected that.
DIEGO and LEVINE are smiling with joy. They seemed to have not seen each other
in a long time.
DIEGO
So, you still have that woman?
LEVINE
Things didn't work out as I planned.
She had her needs...I had mine. Yours?
DIEGO
Ah...she left me for another man. Pitiful,
eh?
LEVINE
Si.
DIEGO
That's probably the only thing you know of
Spanish.
LEVINE
Si, I have a lot to learn.
DIEGO laughs.
DIEGO
Well...are we going or not?

The TURBOPROP PLANE hovers above the landscape of trees.
It slices through the air like a knife through butter.

DIEGO switches buttons. We can see the headsets on
DIEGO and LEVINE. LEVINE is the only one smiling right
now. He's really anxious to be walking on that ground
below him.
DIEGO
When we reach the landing strip, I'll
take you to some villagers. See what's
up with them.
LEVINE
Sounds like a good plan!

MALCOLM paces around.
MALCOLM
I knew he would do this. I knew it...I
knew it...I knew it...
THORNE
I know.
MALCOLM
He's always like this. This "I'm a
rich kid" shit has got to stop.
THORNE
Get that shit out of his system!
MALCOLM
Right!
THORNE
Right...
MALCOLM looks curiously at THORNE.
MALCOLM
You mocking me?
THORNE chuckles.
The door opens and out comes ED REGIS, he a light built man in his older age with dark brown hair.
REGIS
I just heard the news.
MALCOLM
Yeah, and it's not good.
THORNE
What do we do?
MALCOLM
We go out there to that place and find
him tomorrow. That's what we'll do.
THORNE
Ah hell, no. I haven't tested
anything. For all I know there might
be dozens of bugs in those vehicles
that haven't been sought out yet.
MALCOLM
Then, I suggest you work hard at doing
your work.
THORNE shakes his head.
THORNE
What the hell is he looking for anyway?
MALCOLM
Survivals of extinction.
THORNE
What?
MALCOLM
Dinosaurs...he's looking for dinosaurs.
THORNE'S jaw opens.
THORNE
That's absurd.
MALCOLM
Same here. Costa Rican government
finds him, it won't be pretty.
THRONE
It's just like Richard. Always
wanting some trouble.
MALCOLM
Trouble's his motto.
REGIS
I can call up some people to help us
load the vehicles. They'll have them
there before we get there.
MALCOLM
You do that... Meanwhile, me and Thorne
will catch a chopper.
CUT TO:
19 INT. PLANE - DAY 19
DIEGO squints his eyes, trying to see passed the bright
sun's beam. Then, he sees what he's looking for.
DIEGO
There it is.
Now we get a better look at what it was. It's a small
strip, and on the side is a small house. A couple of
Costa Rican's are there waving for them.
CUT TO:
20 EXT. COSTA RICA - DAY 20
Above the trees, the PLANE curves to the right towards
the air strip, and then it descends. Finally it touches
the muddy ground and makes a complete stop after
driving for a few seconds.
CUT TO:
21 INT. COSTA RICAN HOUSE - DAY 21
RICARDO and a couple of his friends are nodding at the
new comers, DIEGO and LEVINE.
LEVINE
Ask him what hospital they're in?
LEVINE walks back to his jeep from the opened door
while DIEGO speaks in Spanish to the three men. It's
becoming clear that LEVINE is referring to ROBERTO
CARTER and his wife, JULIA.
FADE TO:
22 INT. COSTA RICAN HOSPITAL - DAY 22
ROBERTO is doing better. His chest has healed some but
the pain is still unbearable at the moment. It looks
deep, maybe three inches into his flesh had been
severed.
JULIA CARTER is pouring water into his mouth with a
small plastic cup. He sips it down slowly, telling us
that he is weak.
DIEGO and LEVINE walk in to meet the couple. JULIA is
in tears.
LEVINE
I'm really sorry to bother you two,
our presence is probably not needed.
ROBERTO
Neither is the pain I'm in. I'll
make the best of the situation and
let you stay. What is it you two
gentlemen want?
LEVINE
I'm Dr. Richard Levine and this is my
assistant and friend, Diego.
JULIA
Hi.
LEVINE
We're here for the story about what
happened to your child and yourself.
ROBERTO
The third today...
LEVINE
I assure you it will help us more than
the others.
ROBERTO
It came out of nowhere. Like a cat
going for a mouse. It silently came
into the house and stole my baby. I
ran for it, trying to get her back,
but it was too late. The creature had
her and attacked me. Now, all we have
to do around here is pray that our
baby wasn't killed. But we both know
that couldn't be the case.
LEVINE
So, did you get a look at this animal?
ROBERTO
It had scales and a head like a
lizard. Greyish. Fire in the eyes.
LEVINE
Very interesting description. How tall
was it?
ROBERTO
About my height.
DIEGO
This sort of thing happened in my
village too. We called them raptors.
LEVINE'S mouth dropped.
LEVINE
Velocirapor?
DIEGO
No, raptor. Raptor means one who
kidnaps.
ROBERTO
If you find this raptor, kill it. Do
it for me, if that's the reason why
you are here.
LEVINE and DIEGO nod.
LEVINE
Thanks for your help.
CUT TO:
23 INT. MALCOLM'S OFFICE - NIGHT 23
IAN MALCOLM looks up to see ED REGIS shaking his head.
MALCOLM
Uh, something happen?
REGIS
Yes, something did. They're booked
this whole week. They say that can
get us next Thursday. Richard, will
see us next week, only way.
MALCOLM
No...No...he'll see jail bars next week.
REGIS
What the hell do we do?
MALCOLM
I guess we'll have to wait.
CUT TO:
24 INT. HOUSE IN COSTA RICA - FOGGY NIGHT 24
LEVINE and DIEGO relax in the comfortable home of
SANCHEZ, a relative of DIEGO. He was sitting in a
leather chair, he had dark brown hair and a goatee. He
takes a sip of lemonade.
DIEGO
But you haven't heard anything?
SANCHEZ
If anything gets in here for my baby,
I'll have a shot gun waiting for it.
DIEGO
How is Maria?
SANCHEZ
She's doing fine, I thought for sure
she would have died from that flu.
LEVINE
That's really lucky. It's hard on a
baby when it gets an illness that
young.
CUT TO:
25 INT. BACK ROOM - DARK 25
The door of the back room starts to rattle, followed by
a turning knob. It slowly opens and we here the snorting
of an animal.
CUT TO:
26 INT. DEN - NIGHT 26
LEVINE looks up. He hears the snorting.
LEVINE
What's that?
SANCHEZ just shakes it off.
SANCHEZ
It's probably the cattle. They do it
all night.
CUT TO:
27 INT. HALLWAY - DARK 27
Through the halls we still hear the snorting. We watch
as two feet, both with a middle sickle claw, tap to the
floor, one moving in front of the other. Then, the
creature sniffs the air, and enters the threshold of
the baby room.
CUT TO:
28 INT. DEN - NIGHT 28
DIEGO looks around, then out the window.
DIEGO
Your cows aren't out there.
From the baby room, we here the infants cries. The loud
screech of the carnivore, and a shatter of glass.
The three men jump up and run to the baby room.
CUT TO:
29 INT. BABY ROOM - DARK 29
LEVINE is the first to enter, and he watches in horror
at the creature standing in front of him. Again, we
never get a chance to look at it clearly, we can only
guess.
We can see the baby being held by it's jaws, but not on
the flesh, just the shirt. She's still crying.
SANCHEZ comes in with the shotgun and shoots. But it
misses the creature and it drops the baby. LEVINE dives
and catches her.
CUT TO:
30 EXT. FRONT YARD - FOGGY NIGHT 30
The three men run outside looking at the broken window.
Then, they watch as the creature's silhouette fades out
into the fog.
LEVINE is breathing heavily.
FADE TO:
31 INT. MALCOLM'S OFFICE - DARK 31
On the message machine, LEVINE is heard talking really
fast.
LEVINE (V.O.)
Ian, you will not believe this, But I
was right. There are dinosaurs in
Costa Rica. I'm sorry I went way too
early without telling but...well...just
come on down. I need you here, if you
don't that's fine too.
A two second beep sounds off from the machine and
MALCOLM walks in the door.
He goes over to his desk and gets a piece of paper. The
he walks over the message machine which is actually
located near the door.
He presses a button and waits for a message. He gets one.
LEVINE (V.O.)
Ian, you will not...
The door opens quickly and knocks the shit out of the
message machine. It falls apart in pieces on the floor.
MALOLM
What the hell?
THORNE was at the door looking at the broken machine.
THORNE
Opps...
MALCOLM
(SARCASTICALLY)
That was Richard. Thanks for coming to
my office.
THORNE
I'm sorry, Ian.
MALCOLM
Oh it doesn't matter. He probably had
nothing to say other than he disobeyed my
orders.
FADE TO:
SUBTITLE
ONE WEEK LATER
31 INT. THORNE'S WORKSHOP - DAY 31
ARBY looked through the windows of the newly done
AZTEKS and motorcycle. They were ready and promising.
Workers were putting equipment into the back, yelling
at one another, and then driving off with them to load
them up for COSTA RICA.
LAURIE took a gander at the inside of one of the vehicles.
LAURIE
Sure looks cosy...but not for sleeping
in.
From far up we see THORNE.
THORNE
Don't worry honey, we have a tent.
Everyone does.
He sets the folded up tent in the back of the AZTEK.
ARBY
I don't see why I can't go?
THORNE turns around, cocks his eyebrow.
THORNE
What?
ARBY
Nothing's gonna happen.
THORNE
There's a chance we might be put in
prison.
ARBY
It would be just the same if it
happened to me too.
THORNE
Absolutely out of the question. It is
dangerous, you said so yourself.
ARBY
I'm a man.
THORNE
Yeah, in a long time from now.
ARBY
Please, Jack.
THORNE
No!
ARBY swings at his chest and punches him a dozen times,
but it doesn't seem to affect THORNE at all.
ARBY
We never spend time with each other.
You always have something to do so you
wouldn't have to be around me. I heard
what you said when I left with Laurie
the last week. I know you hate to be
around me...why don't you appreciate
that I just want to be around you
sometimes. We're family...
ARBY runs off down the shop and into a hallway. THORNE shakes his head.
MALCOLM screams from the apartment.
MALCOLM
(YELLING)
What time are we leaving?
THORNE looks at his watch.
THORNE
Thirty minutes!
CUT TO:
32 EXT. COSTA RICA JUNGLE - DAY 32
A HELICOPTER zips through the air like a bee, passing
each tree below it. The sound of its twisting blades
is beating in our ears as it keeps flying.
CUT TO:
33 INT. HELICOPTER - DAY 33
LAURIE, THORNE, TROY, MALCOLM, and ED REGIS are in their
seats looking out of the windows. Suddenly MALCOLM stares
at ED REGIS cautiously from head to toe.
MALCOLM
So...what the hell are you here for?
REGIS
I interpret Spanish.
MALCOLM
Good, cause if we get caught, we'll
need an escape goat.
REGIS
You're not gonna give me up for the
group are you?
MALCOLM laughs hysterically.
THORNE
He's a gothic ass isn't he, Regis?
REGIS
Well...yeah actually.
MALCOLM
Watch it, Throne, I'll sick Levine's
imaginary dinosaur on you.
REGIS shakes his head.
REGIS
Many years I've been looking into
dinosaurs...I don't get what's so great
about them. Some were monsters and
some were gentle giants...not much to
be fascinated with, we've got animals
like that now.
MALCOLM
One man's obsession is his own
personal playground. Once you get on
that swing you never want to get off.
Also relates to Chaos Theory.
THORNE
How?
MALCOLM
If a situation goes bad...it stays bad.
Right to the very point of the edge
of chaos. Then, it's all over.
THORNE
I don't agree...there can always be
something good that goes on during a
bad situation.
MALCOLM
But it doesn't solve it does it?
THORNE
Guess not.
The PILOT'S VOICE enters their ears.
PILOT
Bad turbulence, were going to have to
drop you off over there. You'll have
to walk a mile north and you'll find
your vehicles safe and secure next to
an abandoned house. I'll pick you up
here in the same place in three days.
CUT TO:
34 EXT. COSTA RICA - DAY 34
The HELICOPTOR starts to descend a little, everybody we
can see from outside the window holds on to something.
The jungle is deep and lush, like a mass of very shiny
green leaves covering everything in sight. But there was
only a little patch of mud where the vehicles were
parked and a house right next to it.
The door of the chopper slides over and there are
cables that just seem to fall out just as quick as it
had opened. Each person has a pack on and they have the
cable wrapped around their hips. With a clip in hand,
they each slide down the rope and into the unknown.
CUT TO:
35 EXT. COSTA RICA - MOMENTS LATER 35
REGIS is in one AZTEK while MALCOLM takes the other.
THORNE has the motorcycle.
They drive the vehicles on the paths that lead to a big
clearing.
CUT TO:
36 EXT. CAMP - MOMENTS LATER 36
TROY takes out some food from the back of the AZTEK and
quickly shuts the back door.
MALCOLM
The Cord Central is not too far from
here. Once there we'll find some
villagers to talk to...maybe they have
a clue where this La Largitga
Agresivo is.
THORNE
I know a faster way to get there, and
I'll show you on the map in a minute.
MALCOLM
Good, I want to get there and find him
as soon as possible...Then I want to get
the hell out of here.
REGIS
How about those walkie-talkies, did
you put batteries in them?
THORNE
100 mile radius, I say we got a run
for our money on that.
TROY took out his camera.
TROY
I'll be ready to record anything.
MALCOLM
Which will be nothing. You came on
this trip cause Levine had already
asked you.
TROY
You never know what we might find.
MALCOLM
You're a complete waste of time and
effort...sad to say.
TROY
Whatever...Thorne, I thought you said
I'd feel comfortable on this trip?
THORNE turned around.
THORNE
Ok...Troy, hop in and sit down in that
car.
TROY walked to the AZTEK and opened the door. He sits in
it quietly.
THORNE (cont'd)
Comfortable?
TROY
Yeah...
THORNE
Well, there you go.
TROY sticks out his middle finger and lays back
down in the seat. Something wasn't right though.
There was a sound behind the seat that caught his
attention. He turned around and looked back seeing
only boxes of food and supplies and a blanket. But
there was something under that blanket. He moved
out of the car door and outside. Then, he went back
to the back of the car and opened it. Soon as that
was done, he simply pulled the covers off and
revealed a surprised ARBY.
CUT TO:
37 EXT. CAMP - MOMENTS LATER 37
THORNE pounded his fist of the hood of the car.
THORNE
What did I say? You were not to go on
this trip. Did I not specifically say
that?
ARBY
Yeah kinda.
THORNE
Yeah kinda?
ARBY
You're not my dad, Jack.
THORNE
That's right, I'm your responsible
older brother.
LAURIE stood watching the argument.
LAURIE
Jack, calm down.
THORNE
No...
LAURIE
Yes, come on Arby, we'll play some cards.
ARBY
Ok...
They both exit to the tent. THORNE sighs.
MALCOLM
It's ok, Thorne. There's nothing we
can do about it. I say we blame Levine.
THORNE chuckles.
THORNE
I think you're right.
CUT TO:
38 INT. TENT - DAY 38
LAURIE plays a QUEEN of hearts while ARBY sets
tense. He finally decides to play the next card.
It's an ACE. He won that game.
ARBY
Yes...
LAURIE
Great game of war, play another?
ARBY
Alright.
She shuffles the cards in her hand.
LAURIE
Arb, I've been meaning to talk with
you about Jack.
ARBY
Yeah...
LAURIE
Well, he really does love you.
ARBY
I know that. He just doesn't do
anything with me anymore.
LAURIE just listens.
ARBY (cont'd)
I remember when we were kids, he used
to do a lot of fun stuff with me. And
he was in college then. Now it's just...
LAURIE
The workshop?
ARBY
Yeah.
LAURIE
That's a part of being an adult. He has
a lot to do to keep the business from
plummeting. My dad was the same way. He
told me, "Honey, I'll try me best."
Every weekend he played with me. So what
you say...give him another chance.
ARBY looks sceptical but he give in quickly.
ARBY
(SMILING)
Ok!
CUT TO:
40 EXT. CAMP - DAY 40
ARBY and LAURIE walk out of the tent. He's a little
nervous, seeing as how moments ago, THORNE had been
really upset.
As ARBY goes to get some water from the supply box,
THORNE eyes him.
MALCOLM
If one thing's for sure, the villagers
will know about this secret location.
TROY
What the hell is it called again?
MALCOLM
La Lagartiga Agresivo
TROY
Well, when do we get going?
THORNE
(SMILING)
Oh, we're already gone!
CUT TO:
41 EXT. COSTA RICA - DAY 41
The camera pans:
Above the jungle of Costa Rica, we also see the two
vehicles and motorcycle driving on the dirt path.
CUT TO:
42 EXT. COSTA RICA - DAY 42
MALCOLM looks around, he has a monitor in his hand. It
shows life form indications (Blue dots). He's with TROY
and THORNE. THORNE has his motorcycle standing beside
him, rolling it along, while TROY has his video camera
playing.
THORNE
Man, you've got be full of shit to
believe you can find him with that.
MALCOLM
Better than nothing at all... well, we
should be close to or at the place,
according to Migguez.
TROY
Jungle's getting more lush every step
we take.
MALCOLM
Right type of environment for a bunch
of animals.
Something on the right side of TROY made him jump up.
It came from the foliage and bushes, then, sprinted off.
MALCOLM
What happened?
TROY
Something brushed up against my shoe
and ran off.
THORNE
(SARCASTICALLY)
Chicken?
MALCOLM
In the jungle I think not. What it
look like?
TROY
I saw green and that was it.
MALCOLM
Probably the thought provoking Levine
theory is getting to you.
TROY
No, I swear I know what I saw.
MALCOLM
Whatever...
THORNE laughs and looks at the monitor that was in
MALCOLM'S hand.
THORNE
What the hell?
MALCOLM looks at it again, there were a dozen little
blue dots going around them.
TROY
Is that my imagination?
MALCOLM
Could be anything... wild rats...
The group pushes forward, until TROY spots a long tail
flicker out from the brush. He runs to it with his
camcorder bouncing up and down from his neck.
TROY
Through here...quickly!
They follow close behind, and TROY finally comes to a
complete stop. His camcorder drops to the ground as the
strap broke.
TROY (cont'd)
Ah shit.
He reaches down to get it when...
A reddish brown foot presses down into the ground right
beside his camcorder. It was shaped rectangular, with
some big claws. TROY looks up at a 7 foot tall
IGUANODON. It honks at him to step away and he does,
almost immediately, forgetting his camcorder.
MALCOLM and THORNE stand amazed. TROY jumps up and down
joyously. More IGUANODONS come out of the foliage.
TROY (cont'd)
Iguanodons...dinosaurs...
A couple of young BRACHIOSAURS enter the fray, extending
their necks forward looking at the new creatures of the
forest.
TROY (cont'd)
...And those are Brachiosaurs!
TROY points at them and starts counting them all.
TROY (cont'd)
Total of nine dinosaurs in all.
MALCOLM
Our total will be down if we don't
get out of here quickly.
THORNE
These things are... dinosaurs.
MALCOLM
I know.
TROY grabs up his camcorder and starts filming the
habits of the animals. A beep coming from the monitor
sounds off.
MALCOLM (cont'd)
It's human...right next to two big
dots.
THORNE
How far?
MALCOLM
More than 500 yards away on the
south.
MALCOLM points behind him.
THORNE
Great.
THORNE takes his motorcycle and quietly goes through the
jungle from MALCOLM'S directions.
CUT TO:
43 EXT. REX NEST - DAY 43
THORNE pushes away the long grass surrounding a
TYRANNOSAURUS REX nest, he sees a dirtied LEVINE with a
notebook in hand, laying on the ground, watching the
two adult REXES take care of their infants.
THORNE cocks an eyebrow and walks to his motorcycle.
LEVINE'S P.O.V.
LEVINE looks up, after writing a couple of notes and
sees a female TYRANNOSAUR looking straight at him, he
stands firmly and still, watching the REX move her head
from side to side.
Suddenly, from the long grass, the motorcycle roared out
and right beside LEVINE.
The TYRANNOSAUR roars in agitation.
LEVINE looks up seeing THORNE.
THORNE
Get the hell on!
LEVINE has no choice and jumps on the back.
The TYRANNOSAUR roars again, and after the motorcycle
drives off, the enormous creature rears back and runs
towards it full speed.
In the jungle, THORNE dodges broken limbs and torn down
trees, while also avoiding the TYRANNOSAUR right behind
him. From the back, LEVINE looks from behind his
shoulder and sees the female TYRANNOSAUR snap its jaws
five inches from his face. LEVINE turns his head back
around in fear.
Seconds later, the REX stops and bellows back to the
nest. THORNE sees that everything is clear and
immediately stops the motorcycle.
LEVINE jumps off instantly.
LEVINE
What the hell was that?
THORNE
I thought you knew your dinosaurs.
LEVINE
No, why did you do that?
THORNE
I was saving your ass.
LEVINE
What??? Since when did I need saving?
THORNE
Why the hell do you think we are here,
to get some ice cream?
LEVINE
I specifically only asked Dr. Malcolm.
I'm fine without you.
THORNE
Are you shitting me?
As they continue to argue, MALCOLM runs to them from up
ahead, waving.
MALCOLM
What's going on?
LEVINE
Your crew. Why are they here?
MALCOLM
Not mine, Richard. Yours. We thought
you might have been dead.
LEVINE
I can take care of myself.
MALCOLM
Sure you can.
MALCOLM points at his dirtied and bloodied cloths.
LEVINE
I was doing fine till you guys showed
up and ruined my studies.
MALCOLM
Richard, you've already ruined the
cycle. It matters not.
LEVINE
What?
MALCOLM
You seclude yourself in the midst of
dinosaurs that have probably never
had men live with them.
LEVINE
And that would do what?
MALCOLM
Lead to chaos. Pure and simple.
LEVINE shakes his head.
LEVINE
Chaos is all wrong.
MALCOLM
You'll see it's right.
LEVINE
How about you guys just get out of
here before you cause more trouble
and I'll be out of here in a couple
of weeks.
MALCOLM
Yeah, in a body bag.
LEVINE
I appreciate your concern, Ian.
MALCOLM
Obviously not.
THORNE
You're coming with us whether you like
it or not, Richard.
LEVINE
I can't. I've found out a lot of
stuff around.
MALCOLM
Richard...
LEVINE
...About the raptors...I know why they
take the babies and...
MALCOLM
Why do they?
LEVINE just stands there.
LEVINE
You really want me to show you?
MALCOLM
If it's not dangerous.
LEVINE
It's at the raptor nest.
MALCOLM
Never mind.
LEVINE
No...no... It's ok, it's...
(checks his watch)
1:34, they are out for lunch.
MALCOLM
Well then, show me.
THORNE jumps in the way.
THORNE
Raptors? They carnivores?
MALCOLM
Yes.
THORNE
This better be safe.
CUT TO:
44 EXT. CAMP - DAY 44
LAURIE and REGIS are sitting in two fold-out chairs
when the walkie-talkie clicks.
MALCOLM (V.O.)
We found Levine, I repeat, we found
Levine. Over.
REGIS picks up the walkie-talkie.
REGIS
We copy that. Over. Anything else?
MALCOLM (V.O.)
Yes, dinosaurs. There are dinosaurs
here. Over.
REGIS
Are you joking?
MALCOLM (V.O.)
No, I'm not. Wait for further contact,
Regis, were heading over to a nest.
Over and out.
LAURIE is stunned. Was it a joke?
REGIS
I'll be believe it when I see it.
CUT TO:
45 EXT. RAPTOR TERRITORY - DAY 45
LEVINE, MALCOLM, and THORNE walk up the steep hill to
a laying log and peeked over. In front of them were
colonies of nests. Surrounding that were bones...hundreds
of bloodied bones and flesh. Small, infant skulls lay
scattered around. They watch as a couple of young
VELOCIRAPTORS, standing maybe two feet tall and three
feet long, fight over a piece of meat, pulling
their side towards them.
MALCOLM watched with disgust.
MALCOLM
This explains a lot.
LEVINE
Yes, they take the babies cause they
are lighter and easier to kill for
the young ones.
MALCOLM
And at this age, they haven't learned
to even kill another baby. But they
soon will. Totally logical.
THORNE
Yeah
(DISGUSTED)
I wonder if they would like chicken.
LEVINE
I'm sure they wouldn't want to eat
their future selves.
MALCOLM rolls his eyes.
MALCOLM
In any way, the dinosaurs are
invading our territories now.
LEVINE
That's right.
MALCOLM
Which suggests they came not too long
ago.
THORNE
But from what?
LEVINE looked up.
LEVINE
BioSyn.
CUT TO:
46 EXT. OUTSIDE LEVINE'S TREE HOUSE - DAY 46
The three men walk up to a gigantic tree, old and
rotting, and find a large observation tree house. Like
the tree, it's old as well, but maybe by only a few
years.
THORNE
When did you have time to build a tree
house?
LEVINE
I didn't, it was something left behind.
MALCOLM
By BioSyn?
LEVINE
Yep. Let me show you around.
CUT TO:
47 EXT. TREE HOUSE - DAY 47
MALCOLM and THORNE both sit down in two wooden chairs.
They look exhausted.
LEVINE
When BioSyn saw that InGen was
bankrupt back in '97, they immediately
went to one of their facilities and
before it shut down they had stolen
maybe 100 million dollars worth of
dinosaur embryos. From then on, they
secretly bred them here, where no
Costa Ricans venture.
MALCOLM
Makes sense, since it was privately
owned, then the Costa Rican government
never did a thorough inspection.
LEVINE
But before they could get started
their was an accident and all the
creatures escaped. Back in '93 they
presumably hired an inside man to
still the embryos. Dennis Nedry.
MALCOLM
So, that's why he turned off the fences.
LEVINE
Reports say he never made it to the
dock. Something must have happened to
him on the island.
THORNE
And you must have found all this
information from that BioSyn computer
in your apartment.
LEVINE
How do you know about that?
MALCOLM
I told him to go and sneak around
after you went missing. I had to be
sure of where you went to.
LEVINE
Well, yeah that's where I got it from.
THORNE
Where's this facility?
LEVINE
I haven't had time to go and look for
it.
MALCOLM nods.
MALCOLM
You didn't come here alone, did you?
LEVINE
Hell, no. I had a guide slash pilot,
named Diego. He got killed on our
first day here. I don't know what
though, it was quick. It came out of
nowhere.
THORNE
(TO MALCOLM)
Where did Troy go?
MALCOLM
I presume he went back to camp. I gave
him precise orders to.
CUT TO:
48 EXT. LONG GRASS - DAY 48
TROY ORBISON positions his camera to the moving heard
of IGUONADONS. They were beautiful, gently gliding over
the long grass. Then, they are startled suddenly, and
retreat back to the same area. TROY doesn't have time
to run after him. He simply sighs and turns on the VCR
modem of his camera to replay what he had captured.
CUT TO:
49 EXT. TREE HOUSE - DAY 49
LEVINE looks up and over the railing at the long grass
field up ahead. He sees movement, it's TROY.
LEVINE
Is that your Troy?
MALCOLM and THORNE stand up.
MALCOLM
Damn it in hell.
CUT TO:
50 EXT. LONG GRASS - DAY 50
TROY takes it off of VCR and to RECORD mode. He steps
back to watch all the herbivores disappear into the
jungle. A hissing sound interrupts his thoughts and he
turns back to find a stream up ahead. Something is
crossing the stream, agile, and swift in movement.
CUT TO:
51 EXT. TREE HOUSE - DAY 51
MALCOLM squints at the other animals coming into the
long grass.
THORNE
What's that.
MALCOLM shrugs and squints again.
LEVINE
Oh my God, get him out of there!
CUT TO:
52 EXT. LONG GRASS - DAY 52
TROY hears soft screams coming from the trees. He turns
his head over to the direction and realises his name is
being called. He keeps looking around but to no avail.
Then, something hisses right behind him, and he makes a
dash after it grabbed his camera from his chest and
yanked it off his neck. TROY runs in blinding grass, he
doesn't know where he's heading and what will be waiting
for him. He just keeps running, his heart pounding; full
of fear. He is meet up by another creature of the same
structure. It's a VELOCIRAPTOR. He charges after him,
and he turns back around and speeds up faster. The
RAPTOR leaps into the air blocking the sun, its razor
sharp killing sickles on its middle tow protruding for
immediate strike. But it falls to the ground with
nothing to latch on to and keeps running after its
prey.
Now TROY'S getting tired and he leaps onto the side and
out of sight from the dashing DINOSAUR. It runs into
the direction he was going and never stops.
TROY catches his breath then jumps up to run in another
direction when a pain comes to his side. He looks around
seeing that the RAPTOR'S TOE CLAW was digging into his
hip and he goes dizzy, falling to the floor. The RAPTOR
takes its powerful jaws and latches onto TROY neck,
snapping it in two.
CUT TO:
53 EXT. TREE HOUSE - DAY 53
MALCOLM, THORNE, and LEVINE watch with fright as even
more RAPTOR'S come in to feast on TROY'S slashed up
body.
MALCOLM
Richard, we all need to get out of
here now.
CUT TO:
54 EXT. CAMP - DAY 54
LAURIE looked up from the fire, hearing an engine of
some sorts. She places more twigs into the blazing area
and walks over towards the sound. THORNE and MALCOLM
were on the motorcycle which was coming in fast into
camp.
Finally it stops at the edge and they both jump off.
MALCOLM
We found Richard...
THORNE
But, Troy was killed. Levine is going
to pack his things and we're getting
the hell out of here.
LAURIE
Oh my God, are you alright?
THORNE
Fine, Levine is back up at his tree
house, I'm going over there to pick
him up.
MALCOLM
(YELLING)
Regis! Satalite phone...Now!
REGIS runs out of his tent.
REGIS
We're leaving? Why?
MALCOLM
Did I not tell you that there were
dinosaurs here? Should I give you a
q-tip?
REGIS
Some kind of joke?
A loud honking noise, like something trying to defend
itself cries out through the jungle. REGIS looks
confused.
REGIS (cont'd)
That's enough proof for me.
He hurries off into the tent to retrieve the phone.
LAURIE
Oh my God...where's Arby?
THORNE looks around.
THORNE
You lost him?
THORNE starts to get angry and shouts.
THORNE (cont'd)
ARBY!
A shout of laughter enters THORN'S ears and he's drawn
over to its direction. Suddenly, out of the foliage
comes ARBY ontop of a young TRICERATOPS. It's honking
annoys THORNE and he yells again.
THORNE (cont'd)
What the hell!
ARBY
Whoa, easy fella, easy.
ARBY pats the TRICERATOPS on the back and it calms down,
eating some of the greenery in front of it.
THORNE
Arb, get down from it, now!
LAURIE
Oh my God.
REGIS walks out of the tent with a phone.
REGIS
Oh my God.
MALCOLM
Oh my God...it's ugly.
ARBY
Come on, Jack...what's it gonna do?
THORNE
Not it, but me. Get off of it now.
ARBY sighs and jumps off the TRICERATOPS.
ARBY
Why didn't you tell me these things
were here.
MALCOLM
We didn't know they were here.
THORNE
Listen, we've got to get out of here,
one death has already happened and
there will be more if we don't hurry
up.
MALCOLM
Everybody into the cars. Hurry now.
MALCOLM jumps in the closest vehicle to him.
CUT TO:
55 INT. CAR - DAY 55
MALCOLM quickly draws down the window and catches the
flying phone in the air.
MALCOLM
No signal...my luck.
REGIS jumps into the back seat.
REGIS
Sorry, I should have told you that
this far out into the jungle you
wouldn't be able to.
MALCOLM
Yes, that would have been valuable
information. Well...
Something catches him off guard. An oncoming STEGOSAURUS
bumps right into the AZTEK, sending it twirling around.
They are running.
REGIS
Damn.
Other's come into view. MALCOLM watches as the second
vehicle takes off into the plain up ahead.
REGIS (cont'd)
What do we do?
MALCOLM says nothing, just drives the car towards the
field.
GALLIMIMUS block his way from going faster.
MALCOLM
They are everywhere.
MALCOLM makes a quick turn to the right and out of the field.
The second vehicle stays on, getting caught up in the stampede.
CUT TO:
56 INT. SECOND CAR - DAY 56
Inside the second AZTEK was THORNE, ARBY, and LAURIE.
THORNE quickly stops the vehicle just as the second herd
of herbivores ram into them and they are suddenly jerked
side to side.
ARBY watches some GALLIMIMUS jump and run up onto the
vehicle, then back down to the ground.
They are suddenly hearing deep horrific roars coming
from the back of the herbivores.
CUT TO:
57 EXT. FIELD - DAY 57
From the foliage come a group of four ALLOSAURS. They
are tall carnivores, much like the TYRANNOSAURS but not
as built up.
They take off at high speeds, running directly to the most helpless herbivore
there, a lonely ANKYLOSAURUS. The
ANKY swishes its clubbed tail around, knocking one of
the leading MALE ALLOSAURS in the leg. It cries out in pain
and fights back with another ALLOSAUR along side it.
The other two carnivores go for the closest PARASAURLOPHOLUS, which is located
right in front of THORNE'S AZTEK. The first
one snaps at the neck but misses and the PARASAUR simply
whacks it on the face with it's tail. The FEMALE ALLOSAUR
then takes its foot and smashes it onto the side of the
PARASAUR pinning it down the to the ground. The next MALE ALLOSAUR comps onto
the head and squashes it in. Blood spurts
out of the torn up face and onto the dirt ground.
CUT TO:
58 INT. SECOND CAR - DAY 58
THORNE is horrified, puts the vehicle in reverse, and drives
off.
LAURIE
Look out!
CUT TO:
59 EXT. FIELD - DAY 59
The AZTEK stops in front of the other two ALLOSAURS that
are feasting on the ANKYLOSAURUS. THORNE puts it in
DRIVE and zooms off out of the field. The FEMALE
ALLOSAUR chases after it.
CUT TO:
60 EXT. JUNGLE - DAY 60
Through the jungle's branches and leaves the ALLOSAUR bellows while chasing
after the car. Its saliva slaps on the sides of
its face as it heaves towards it.
The car takes up more speed than the dinosaur can handle and
it just stops and retreats back to its feeding spot.
The car slows and locks down.
CUT TO:
61 INT. SECOND VEHICLE - DAY 61
THORNE turns to LAURIE and ARBY who are in the back.
THORNE
Everybody ok?
BOTH
Fine.
The radio clicks.
REGIS (V.O.)
You guys alright?
THORNE picks up the radio calmly.
THORNE
We're good here, just ran into a
bigger mishap. Put Malcolm on.
MALCOLM (V.O.)
You guys need to be careful not to
disturb anything.
THORNE
I understand.
MALCOLM (V.O.)
Ok, how far are you from camp?
THORNE
Not far.
MALCOLM (V.O.)
Good, cause I saw you go to the right
into the jungle so... Follow the river
up stream until you come across some
long grass, we'll be at a tree house
near that. All you have to do is get
over there and we'll get Levine and
leave.
THORNE
Ok, over and out.
THORNE blows a sigh of relief.
ARBY
I want to leave, Jack, I don't want
to be here anymore.
THORNE
I know Arb, I know.
FADE TO:
62 EXT. TREE HOUSE - DAY 62
LEVINE looks down from the railing as MALCOLM'S AZTEK
comes into sight.
CUT TO:
63 EXT. BELOW TREE HOUSE - MOMENTS LATER 63
REGIS follows MALCOLM to the car and opens the door.
LEVINE, up ahead, throws his pack over his shoulder and
walks slowly to them. He looks back to the tree house
half way there.
MALCOLM
Come on, Richard.
LEVINE shakes his head.
LEVINE
I can't do this. All my
life's work is here.
MALCOLM
No work, only death. Don't
take this place lightly.
LEVINE
I have to stay.
MALCOLM
We've lost a life, how many more do
you need to convince yourself that
you were the cause of all this.
LEVINE
You came of your own, Ian. I had
evidence of this place up the ying
yang and still you did not believe.
MALCOLM
I was badly deluded.
LEVINE
Ian, I know you've had bad experiences
with them.
MALCOLM
(SARCASTIC)
Bad experiences? You ass hole. I've
been almost killed twice. I guess one
more wouldn't hurt, eh?
LEVINE
Calm down, Ian.
MALCOLM
Just get yourself into the car,
Richard, ok? Get your ass in there.
I'm tired of you.
LEVINE
No, Ian. I can't do it.
LEVINE walks off back to the ladder of the TREE HOUSE
and climbs up.
REGIS
What an ass.
MALCOLM jumps into the car. REGIS gets into the
passenger seat.
REGIS (cont'd)
So...what do we do?
MALCOLM
I don't know.
CUT TO:
64 EXT. TREE HOUSE - DAY 64
LEVINE throws the pack back down on the table and starts
to unpack stuff.
He is caught unaware when MALCOLM and REGIS show up in
the TREE HOUSE from climbing up the ladder.
LEVINE
What are you still doing
here?
MALCOLM
We had told THORNE to come here so we
could all leave together.
LEVINE
Oh.
LEVINE begins to work again, taking notes on things in
his journal.
REGIS notices him writing.
REGIS
What are you working on?
LEVINE
Things...
REGIS
You think you could be more spacific.
LEVINE
No...
REGIS looks at him with disgust. LEVINE gives in.
LEVINE (cont'd)
Ok... I'm estimating the population of
dinosaurs.
REGIS
What is the current status?
LEVINE
A little over 200.
MALCOLM
Well, if the number is growing, then
we must warn the Costa Rican
government as soon as we get out of
here.
LEVINE
The population is decreasing.
MALCOLM
What?
LEVINE
It was over 300. They are dying, Ian.
It's dawn of extinction for them.
From what I don't know.
REGIS
That's good.
LEVINE
Not for me. There is so much to
discover here.
MALCOLM rolls his eyes.
LEVINE (cont'd)
Can you think of anything, Ian, that's
making them die out
MALCOLM
Maybe the earth is finally realising
they don't belong here anymore...hell I
don't know, Richard. Could be anything.
LEVINE (cont'd)
You still need to warn...the raptors are
coming closer to people. Soon, they'll
be comfortable to hunt them down when
there is more of them around. The
closest place near here is Heredia...
Popluation: 550,000 people. It'll be a
buffet for them.
REGIS
Damn, where are they?
MALCOLM
I guess we'll have to contact them.
CUT TO:
65 INT. CAR - DAY 65
THORNE rolls his head around, creaking his neck.
THORNE
Ready to go?
ARBY
Yeah!
THORNE turns the ignition on then he looks over.
THORNE
Something's not right.
ARBY and LAURIE looked from the windows. Everything is
quiet.
From out of nowhere, a VELOCIRAPTOR comes full speed up
to the windshield of the car and strikes the glass with
its foot. The foot goes through and hits THORNE in the
head. He is now got his foot on the gas and unconscious.
He is on the steering wheel and veering it left,
causing them to go into circles endlessly. LAURIE jumps
into the passenger seat and nudges THORNE.
LAURIE
Jack, wake up...wake up, Jack!
She tries hard to get him out of the seat but he won't
budge.
The raptor on the windshield is now hanging on the side
of the car for dear life. Other raptors come into view
trying to grab a hold of something on the vehicle.
ARBY looks to his right and sees a RAPTOR coming
straight at him. It smashes the glass in and grabs onto
the rim of the window for support. The RAPTOR snaps at
ARBY, but he moves back to the other side.
CUT TO:
66 EXT. TREE HOUSE - DAY 66
MALCOLM takes the Walkie-talkie to his mouth, presses
the button and speaks.
MALCOLM
Thorne...you there?
CUT TO:
67 INT. CAR - DAY 67
ARBY looks over at the back of the AZTEK and sees the radio...MALCOLM is on it.
MALCOLM (cont'd)
Thorne, come in, over.
ARBY reaches over for it just as the raptor sticks its
ugly head out to bite him. It misses by inches and ARBY
takes the Walkie-talkie in his hands.
ARBY
Dr. Malcolm!
CUT TO:
68 EXT. JUNGLE - DAY 68
The car swerves as LAURIE tries with all her strength
to get THORNE out of the seat.
The vehicle ends up driving onto a steep cliff and it
stops as LAURIE presses her foot to the pedal.
Now the car is rocking over the small ravine.
The raptors jump on to the car without any hesitation
and it gives way, tumbling down into the lush jungle
foliage. Soon, they all see the river in front of them
and LAURIE screams in the car.
It splashes into the river and is dragging on the
bottom.
CUT TO:
69 EXT. RIVER - DAY 68
ARBY takes the radio above the water that is seeping in.
LAURIE
ARBY come over here.
ARBY
Malcolm! Were in the river.
MALCOLM
What?
ARBY
Were...
Something bangs against the glass. ARBY looks over. He
doesn't see anything but large rocks.
THORNE awakes to water.
THORNE
What the hell is...
LAURIE
Help open the door.
THORNE stops and tries to get the door open.
Suddenly, the flow of the car increases and they are now
bouncing up and down with more water coming in.
It hits rocks, pivots and turns around going backwards.
More water seeps through as a rock cracks a glass
window.
MALCOLM (cont'd)
Arby...are you there?
ARBY speaks again.
ARBY
Dr. Malcolm, were going down the river...
hurry!
CUT TO:
70 EXT. TREE HOUSE - DAY 70
MALCOLM looks over towards the river up ahead, then to
REGIS. They both immediately run to the ladder and drop
to the ground. LEVINE watches from above.
REGIS
Hurry!
CUT TO:
71 EXT. RIVER - DAY 71
By the time MALCOLM and REGIS get over to the flowing
river, the car has rounded the bend and out of sight.
MALCOLM
(YELLING)
Thorne!
REGIS
(YELLING)
Arby! Laurie!
CUT TO:
72 INT. CAR - DAY 72
ARBY drops the walkie-talkie in the water and it slips
into the seats.
THORNE kicks in a window and looks into the water.
Something wasn't right. There was some kind of animal
in the bottom...and then it happened. The dark bluish
figure changed color to a brownish green. It had two
small horns protruding from the top of its brows. It
has a massive body with a small head and bulldog snout
It was a CARNOTAURUS SASTREI.
It strikes at THORNE and comps on the door.
THORNE
We've got company. Arby, go to Laurie
and hold on to something.
CUT TO:
73 EXT. RIVER - DAY 73
The CARNOTAUR grabs the back of the vehicle with its
mouth and keeps it from going down the gorge. Then,
still holding it with it's jaws, it takes its foot and
slams it on the roof of the car.
It roars and then takes apart some of the roof revealing
the humans inside.
THORNE
Go! Now, go!
THORNE pushes LAURIE and ARBY out of the way from the
opening.
The CARNOTAURUS decides to roll the vehicle over with
its mouth.
After it has overturned, LAURIE, ARBY, and THORNE slip
out from one of the windows.
The CARNOTAUR didn't notice any of them; it is too
busy picking at the pipes and metal underneath the car.
They reach the bank of the river as soon as the
CARNOTAURUS realises they have run away.
It roars in agitation and swims after them.
They run back into the jungle, breathing heavily on each
stride.
CUT TO:
74 EXT. JUNGLE - DUSK 74
Running through the jungle, THORNE, ARBY, and LAURIE
dash to a tree and climb it.
LAURIE grabs ARBY and pushes him up to the branches and
he grabs one, pulling himself over it.
THORNE
Hurry, Arb. Go now.
He keeps climbing, not hesitating at all.
We can here the CARNOTAURUS coming...faster and faster.
LAURIE and THORNE make it up the tree, hiding in the
leaves.
Now, the CARNOTUAR comes into view, looking around the
area and sniffing the air for a particular odor in the
atmosphere that it might have smelt with the humans.
Then, it surprisingly retreats back into the jungle
shaking its head because of its missing prey.
THORNE breathed in heavily and looked over at ARBY.
THORNE
You ok, little Arb?
ARBY
(CONFIDENT)
I'm fine. I can take care of myself.
THORNE gave a weak smile.
LAURIE
Honey, let me fix your head.
THORNE
Laurie, I'm fine.
He starts to climb up some more to see over the trees.
He looks up seeing that the sun up ahead is setting. A
beautiful array of red glaring from the clouds that was
hanging under the sky.
ARBY
What you doing?
THORNE
Come on up and see.
ARBY and LAURIE climb up.
Looking over the foliage they find the sunset, over a
plain with dozens of dinosaurs eating on the grass and
leaves. The horizon is very far away. We can't tell what dinosaurs are down
there.
LAURIE
Wow. It's beautiful. Yeah, you can't
see this back home, I'll tell you.
THORNE
Yeah, that's for damn sure.
ARBY
Yeah. I miss home. I miss mom and dad.
THORNE rubes his head.
THORNE
I know you do, bud.
ARBY
I should have listened to you, Jack.
I'm so sorry.
LAURIE
Hey, Arb. We're all stuck in a bad
situation, but we can get out.
ARBY
I hope your right.
THORNE
Laurie's always right.
They both lay down on the tree.
THORNE
So much for comfort.
ARBY lays his head on THORNE'S shoulder.
ARBY
Hey, Jack?
THORNE
Yeah, bud?
ARBY
This is the longest we've ever spent
together.
THORNE looks to ARBY and smiles.
THORNE
You're right.
ARBY starts to doze off on THORNE'S shoulder in a matter
of seconds.
THORNE (cont'd)
Hey, Arb?
ARBY
(ALMOST ASLEEP)
Yeah.
THORNE
I love you, bro.
Now, ARBY is asleep. THORNE looks to LAURIE.
LAURIE
I love you, Jake.
THORNE
I love you too.
They both start to go into slumber.
FADE TO:
75 EXT. TREE HOUSE - DAY 75
LEVINE is leaning over the railing of the TREE HOUSE
watching herbivores pass by.
MALCOLM is talking with REGIS
MALCOLM
We can drive down the river tomorrow,
see if we can find it they are still
alive. I guess we'll have to leave
Levine here.
REGIS
I guess. You think by then the
satellite phone will be working?
MALCOLM
I sure hope so.
REGIS
I'll keep checking it.
MALCOLM
Ok.
MALCOLM walks off to a chair and sits down. REGIS takes
to the direction of LEVINE.
REGIS
So...what are you doing now.
LEVINE
Studying the mating rituals.
REGIS
Oh...of what?
LEVINE
You see the two dinosaurs down there
that are built like a tank?
REGIS
Yeah.
LEVINE
Those are Ankylosaurs. What they do
is they duke it out with other males
to win the heart of the female.
Sometimes it can lead to death. I've
been fascinated with this technique.
It's almost like rams.
REGIS
Yeah.
An awkward silence comes. Suddenly, we know REGIS is got something to say.
REGIS (cont'd)
Do you care about what is happening
at all?
LEVINE
Well, yeah. I feel sorry for them.
But there's nothing I can do about
it.
REGIS
You have no faith in your friends,
Dr. Levine. You've conquered science,
but you haven't conquered friendship.
Malcolm needs your help.
LEVINE
Listen, Regis, some bad things happen
and there's nothing you can do about
it.
REGIS
There is something.
LEVINE
What?
REGIS
Compassion. Without it your just a
living brain...no personality...no care
about anything really important. That
makes you a complete ass.
MALCOLM is watching all this happening in the chair.
Did REGIS get through to LEVINE? We don't know as of yet.
REGIS (cont'd)
The only way people can get through
things is faith and help. And by God,
me and Malcolm are going to help them
out. I hope you will join us.
REGIS walks off to the ladder. LEVINE continues to watch
the animals, but we can see he's really pondering on what
REGIS had said.
CUT TO:
76 EXT. PLAIN OF DINOSAURS - DUSK 76
Up ahead all the IGUANODONS lay down to their nests and
start to sleep as the last little bit of sun descended
behind the low trees.
FADE TO:
77 EXT. TREE - MORNING 77
We focus in on a single tree limb, zooming back until
something hits it. It's THORNE and he not only hits it
but almost falls off. He grabs it just before his hands
couldn't grab on anymore.
He grunts. LAURIE and ARBY hear him and look down at
his dangling body. He gives out a smirk.
THORNE
I guess my sleeping body forgot I
was in a tree.
He climbs down to the ground.
LAURIE
Where are you going?
THORNE
We haven't a second to loose. We need
to trek back up to the tree house.
ARBY
Will Dr. Malcolm still be there.
THORNE
I hope so, Arb.
LAURIE and ARBY start to climb down.
CUT TO:
78 EXT. BELOW TREE HOUSE - MORNING 78
MALCOLM and REGIS load their stuff in the back of
the AZTEK. REGIS throws the keys to MALCOLM as he
opens the driver's door.
VOICE
Enough room for one more?
They both turn around to see LEVINE with all his
stuff in his pack, which is around his shoulder.
LEVINE
If it's not too much trouble.
79 EXT. JUNGLE - MORNING 79
THORNE hands a canteen out from his bag and hands it to
ARBY and LAURIE.
ARBY
Oh, Jack, where did you get it?
THORNE
Snagged it out of the car before we
got out.
ARBY engulfs the canteen but leaves enough for LAURIE.
THORNE (cont'd)
I sure hope we are going the right
way.
ARBY
It has to be...doesn't it?
A low groan makes them stop dead in their tracks. Dozens
of heads pop up from the very high grass. They hadn't
noticed that PACHYCEHPHOLOSAURS were sleeping in the
grass. They were standing about night feet high and 12
feet long. They looked at the humans and, assuming them
to be no threat, walked off without fear.
ARBY
Oh, those are ram dinos.
LAURIE
What?
THORNE
Doesn't matter. Come on.
THORNE looks at his watch: 9:12 A.M.
They continue to move through the foliage in front of
them passing the PACHYCEPHOLOSAURS in the process.
CUT TO:
80 INT. CAR - NOON 80
REGIS looks at his watch also as the vehicle bounces up
and down.
REGIS
It's 12:20.
MALCOLM
Go ahead and check the sat phone,
Reg.
He jumps to the back to retrieve the satellite phone.
LEVINE
I brought some food and water if
anybody needs some.
MALCOLM
Maybe later, Richard.
LEVINE looks up ahead and sees something in the mud.
LEVINE
Stop the car, Ian.
MALCOLM stalls the car in front of the subject. Quickly,
LEVINE jumps out of the car.
CUT TO:
81 EXT. JUNGLE - NOON 81
LEVINE walks over to shoe prints and a large three-toed
carnivore foot print and points to them.
LEVINE
They are alive.
MALCOLM stands with his hands on his hips and looks over
to the right. Before his is the river; in the middle a
torn to shreds AZTEK.
MALCOLM
I'll be damned. They were definitely
in trouble. I think, if my classes
are fresh in mind, that this is the
track of a large Theropod.
LEVINE
It's the same kind of track I found
with Diego.
MALCOLM
Where were you guys when the attack
happened?
LEVINE
We were both preparing to climb a
rock face, we had the cables already
hooked, stabilised. Then, something
came out of nowhere and I ran off
into the jungle, leaving behind
Diego. Poor man, he hadn't had a
chance.
MALCOLM nodded. REGIS comes out of the AZTEK.
REGIS
Battery's dead.
MALCOLM
What?
REGIS
It didn't turn off when we last had
it.
MALCOLM
Looks like we are gonna be waiting
another day.
REGIS
We needed more time anyway,
Dr. Malcolm.
LEVINE
We need to follow those prints.
MALCOLM and the others jump into the car and it
speeds off following the tracks.
CUT TO:
82 EXT. JUNGLE - DAY 82
THORNE pushes away some leaves to reveal a nice stream.
Its glistening flow attracts his attention at one and
he slams his head into the cold liquid. ARBY watched from a farther distance
with LAURIE.
He, then, takes the canteen from his neck and scoops
water into the hole. A very dark figure appears in the
water and he jumps back as a long snout pops up. It
snarls at him and squeaks. With a long neck and blue
body, this scavenger does a defensive scream at him
and THORNE jumps back some more giving it room. The
dinosaur is not a dinosaur, but is a TANYSTROPHEUS. It
looks into the water and starts to hunt for fish.
THORNE gulps as another threatening looking creature
comes into view. It is a molten brown with yellow
strips from its back to its belly. It's crocodilian
head searches into the stream and with its thick clawed
thumb it quickly slashes at an oncoming fish and pulls
it out, squirming with the claw stuck in the body of the
fish. It chews it up good and just stares at THORNE,
then goes back at searching. This is a BARYNOYX and
it's not mare than 6 feet long and 5 in a half feet
tall.
THORNE walks back to the others.
THORNE
Ok let's go.
He hands the canteen to LAURIE.
As they begin to walk out of the area they here the
faintest sound of a large foot hitting the ground.
THORNE stops to listen.
ARBY
What is it?
They begin to look back at a puddle nearby. Small
circles form in it with each sound of a thump, like it's
cued.
THORNE
Run!
They sprint off, with the animals also going in other
directions simultaneously.
The thick leaves make it hard to see as they begin to
run faster.
Soon enough a TYRANNOSAURS appears behind them,
breathing behind their necks.
THORNE (cont'd)
Split up...now.
ARBY and LAURIE run the other way while THORNE keeps
running the same straight.
The TYRANNOSAUR is now 5 feet behind him. He jumps into
the long grass in front of him, which was at a height
of 3 feet.
He lays silent in there. The TYRANNOSAUR stops and
looks around, with stupidity, it had lost its prey and
is now agitated.
Frustrated, it roars in disgust. It looks around
cautiously and then quickly find THORNE crawling on the
muddy ground. It bellows after him. All is going into
chaos when THORNE accidentally falls onto a young
TRICERATOPS. It sequels like a pig and the TYRANNOSAURS
gets confused. THORNE dodges the oncoming mother TRIKE
which was heading his way at a great speed. Thinking it was
the REX that had come after the young one, the MOTHER
TRICERATOPS swings its spikes into the air trying to
injure the carnivore.
The TYRANNOSAUR rears back and stamps its foot between
the two spikes, on top of the frill. Another TRICERATOPS
comes into view and slams its spikes into the
TRYANNOSAUR'S right leg. Blood falls to the ground.
THORNE runs out of the area and with LAURIE and ARBY,
who are waiting at the other end.
The TYRANNOSAUR cries in pain.
CUT TO:
83 INT. CAR - STORMY 83
Thunder breaks the intense scene of the TYRANNOSAUR and
calms us down a bit. We are soon introduced back to
MALCOLM, REGIS, and LEVINE. The rain pounds on the
windshield as they drive through the jungle.
MALCOLM
So, Richard, what have you learned of
the raptors?
LEVINE
Dr. Grant's book about them says that
they were only pack hunters...but I found
that to be false.
MALCOLM
How so?
LEVINE
First off, they were bread without a
leader or adult, they had to fend for
themselves in their own way. That
means that their behaviour could
different than when they were really
alive during the cretaceous. Second,
I saw that when they find something
by themselves they'll go for it and,
like humans, keep it from the group.
MALCOLM
Like, every raptor for himself.
LEVINE
Only when one is hunting alone.
MALCOLM
Oh...
CUT TO:
84 EXT. JUNGLE - STORMY 84
ARBY
I don't feel good.
ARBY falls to the mud, breathing heavily; the rain
pattering his face.
THORNE rushes to his aid.
THORNE
Arby...Arby!
THORNE hold his body in his arms. LAURIE run to them.
LAURIE
What's going on?
ARBY'S body goes into convulsions.
THORNE
Oh, God. He's having a seizure.
THORNE shakes him and pounds his chest.
THORNE (cont'd)
Breathe, damn it, breathe!
LAURIE
Oh, my God, help him. God, please
help him.
Suddenly, a snorting sound enters their ears. A
raptor 10 yards away appears before them. THORNE,
terrified, takes ARBY and runs to a tree, LAURIE
following close behind.
THORNE
Damn it. Breathe, Arby!
The raptor looks around, sniffs the air.
ARBY suddenly gasps and his body relaxes.
LAURIE
Thank God.
The raptor up ahead shakes it's body from the rain and
continues onward, snatching up a scurrying creature in
the process.
THORNE
I love you, Arby. I love you.
He rocks Arby in his arms.
CUT TO:
85 INT. CAR - STORMY 85
MALCOLM hears some roar and he looks around trying to
see what direction it was coming in.
CUT TO:
86 EXT. JUNGLE - STORMY 86
Suddenly, from out of no where it seems, a TYRANNOSAURS
comes running right in front of the car, then, swerving
to the right. A TRICERATOPS rams its two spikes into
the front, knocking the car over and puncturing the fuel
tank. The dinosaurs ran out of view.
CUT TO:
87 INT. CAR - STORMY 87
MALCOLM climbs the seat after he looks out the window,
seeing the fuel falling to the ground.
MALCOLM
Hurry, get out of the car...hurry.
REGIS
Oh, shit.
REGIS knocks out the windshield and scurries out into
the mud. MALCOLM opens the door quickly and crawls out,
falling to the ground. LEVINE does the same.
They start to run when the tank explodes and the car
bursts into a big ball of fire. Flames catch REGIS on
the back and he falls back to the ground, rolling.
REGIS rushes to the others. LEVINE pats MALCOLM on the
back.
LEVINE
You ok?
MALCOLM
Uh, yeah.
LEVINE and REGIS walk into the jungle, but MALCOLM just
stares at the flames on the vehicle burn.
REGIS
Dr. Malcolm?
MALCOLM shakes his head.
MALCOLM
Damn it in hell!
...And he walks off.
CUT TO:
88 EXT. JUNGLE - STORMY 88
ARBY is to THORNE'S right side, his arm around his back.
It doesn't look like he's going to speak for a while.
LAURIE
I had no idea this happens to him.
THORNE
Once or twice a year. We were lucky we
didn't get caught by that dinosaur.
LAURIE
Will he be ok?
THORNE
Yeah, he'll be fine.
LAURIE stops and looks at something through the trees.
It's a rock face, about 25 feet tall. A cable is in the
middle of it.
THORNE looks from his right to his left.
THORNE (cont'd)
Doesn't look like we'll find a way of
over it besides climbing.
ARBY
I'm afraid of heights.
THORNE ignores him. He knows there is nothing they
can do but climb.
THORNE grabs the rope.
LAURIE
You sure about this?
THORNE
No.
He starts to climb the rock face, one pull at a time.
5 feet.
10 feet.
He's almost there. He looks over at a part of the rock
that makes a platform and sees a skeleton, rotting
flesh is hanging from the bones. He screams, a rock
slips from underneath his feet. He grabs on tighter
than before.
LAURIE
You ok?
THORNE
(YELLING)
I'm fine.
He climbs.
17 feet.
Finally, he's up to the top, and he looks down towards
LAURIE and ARBY.
THORNE (cont'd)
(YELLING)
Ok, Arby...your turn!
ARBY shakes his head.
ARBY
No, I'm not going up there!
THORNE
(YELLING)
Arby, I'm not going to tell you again.
ARBY grabs the rope and starts to climb. He's slower than
THORNE, but he's still making progress. As he climbs,
LAURIE looks around her. She feels like she's being
watched. She doesn't know what though.
ARBY slips and grabs onto the edge of the rocky
platform where the dead body lay. He screams.
THORNE
Hang on, Arby.
LAURIE
Hang on, sweetie.
THORNE swings the rope toward ARBY and he grasps it in
his hands and resumes climbing. He makes it a few
seconds later.
THORNE
Ok, honey...your turn!
LAURIE
I'm not sure if I can do this.
THORNE
You can, honey...come on.
She holds the rope in her hands. Now she feels the same
feeling, she starts to climb up cautiously.
From the dark spots of the jungle, LAURIE saw a shape
form. Its bull dog snout pointing at her.
LAURIE increases her climbing as the CARNOTAURUS
bellows after her. THORNE sees that she won't be able
to make it and grabs the rope in his hands and pulls
hard.
Down below, LAURIE feels her body being lifted up as
the CARNOTAUR opens its mouth. It later snaps only
through air and comes back for another take.
LAURIE grips the rope hard and head comes closer.
Coincidentally, she lifts up again as it snaps and
catches rocks in its mouth. It roars with frustration
and walks back into the jungle.
THORNE grabs LAURIE into his arms up on the cliff and
hugs her. They kiss and mouth the words "I love you."
numerous times.
ARBY watches in silence.
CUT TO:
89 EXT. JUNGLE - STORMY 89
REGIS opens his mouth, letting the raindrops fall
down into his throat.
REGIS
Ah...
LEVINE
Save some for the others.
REGIS
No way.
CAWWWWW...
MALCOLM looks up.
REGIS (cont'd)
What was that?
MALCOLM
(TO LEVINE)
Do you know?
LEVINE stares up at the sky with silence, the rain
beating on his leather suit. Behind him, REGIS was
lifted into the air, he screams in horror as he
watched the ground below drop from his feet. Then,
he was dropped into a tree on accident. He looks up to
see-
A PTERANODON, with a wing span of 30 feet long.
Its glorious wings beat with the sound of the rain.
But, he wasn't one bit awed, but terrified. He grabs
onto the tree tightly.
The PTERANODON looks down, targeting LEVINE and MALCOLM.
They looked at each other, then ran off, the reptilian
bird following closely behind.
It caws with delight at the running humans. LEVINE and
MALCOLM leap into a nearby hollow log. They hold on
tight with the PTERANODON picks at it, creating holes.
They then feel themselves being lifted into the air.
The PTERANODON has the log in its claws but can't lift
it that high so it drops it. The log bounces back down.
As it does, MALCOLM, in the log, is knocked out.
LEVINE
Malcolm?
He doesn't answer. LEVINE looks through the circular
hole and sees the PTERNODON being attacked by a pack
of ALLOSAURS. He keeps quiet.
OUTSIDE:
The PTERNODON tries frantically to fly off but can't
gain any. The wings are now in the two ALLOSAURS' jaws
and blood is spattering to the ground.
UP IN THE TREE:
REGIS tries to climb higher but the limb breaks and he
falls down to the ground about 15 feet. He's hurt badly.
INSIDE THE LOG:
LEVINE looks out seeing REGIS on the ground. He has
broken his leg and he tries to crawl away.
BACK TO REGIS:
REGIS crawls to the long grass but when an ALLOSAUR sees
him he is lifted into the air by the jaws and pounded
into a tree numerous times. His body being broken in
many places and he's killed on the spot.
From the log, LEVINE watches in silence as the
ALLOSAURS feed on the PTERANODON and REGIS. He closes
his eyes.
More screeching is heard from the sky. LEVINE looks
back out to see more PTERANODONS attacking the
ALLOSAURS. The carnivorous dinosaurs don't know what
to do...they seem to be somewhere and then another place simultaneously. MALCOLM
wakes up.
MALCOLM
What happened?
LEVINE
You were knocked out...come on, Regis
is dead.
They both run out from the log and into the misty wet
jungle.
CUT TO:
90 EXT. JUNGLE - RAINY 90
LAURIE pointed over to the trees straight ahead.
LAURIE
You seeing this?
ARBY and THORNE squinted.
THORNE
Is that...
ARBY
...a building!
ARBY runs toward it. It is, indeed, a building. Greyish
in color, it stood about 50 feet high, counting the
tower on top. It was made out of concrete from bottom
to top. Written in bold white letters in the front was
BIOSYN, crossing over the double doors.
THORNE
Stay with me, Arb.
ARBY slowed down.
LAURIE
I hope it's safe.
THORNE
It's the best thing we have.
ARBY
Yeah, hope they have HBO.
CUT TO:
91 INT. BIOSYN LOUNGE - DIM 91
They open the two doors to reveal a lounge room. Cobwebs
are everywhere. The place is gritty and dark. The only
light it has is from the windows.
CUT TO:
92 INT. BIOSYN LAB - DIM 92
They go beyond the lounge and enter another set of doors,
This leading to a lab. ARBY looks through some incubator
glasses. LAURIE and THORNE see another room straight up
ahead. Suddenly, the sound of glass breaking is heard
from behind and they look back to see ARBY shrugging.
THORNE
Careful, Arb.
CUT TO:
93 INT. OFFICE - DIM 93
THORNE enters the OFFICE of the building. On the desk a
pieces of wood with a name is written on it. The name
is LEWIS DODGSON.
THORNE
I know that name.
LAURIE
From what?
THORNE
Can't remember right now.
CUT TO:
94 EXT. LAB - DIM 94
ARBY takes a gander at a tube. It has SPINOSAURUS on it.
ARBY
Must be DNA.
From underneath a table, a COMPSYGNATHUS jumps onto
ARBY'S shoe. He looks down and sees it.
ARBY (cont'd)
You sure are small. Like a chicken.
It squeaks at him and immediately a dozen more come out
crawling onto ARBY'S body like spiders. He screams out
in terror.
CUT TO:
95 INT. OFFICE - DIM 95
THORNE and LAURIE drop file papers and rush out the
office.
CUT TO:
96 INT. LAB - DIM 96
THORNE is there first smacking off the small dinosaurs
from ARBY'S body. They run off, squawking at THORNE
continuously. THORNE gets angry and throws a glass at
the animals. One of the shards cuts the front COMPY and
they all scatter about.
LAURIE
Shit. What are those things?
THORNE
I don't know. If they come back I'm
going to kill them all. You ok, Arb?
ARBY
I don't know. I feel kind of weak.
THORNE
I hope your ok. Come on, let's go find
someplace to rest. Then, I'll go and
secure the place.
CUT TO:
97 EXT. JUNGLE - RAINY 97
MALCOLM and LEVINE stop to rest.
MALCOLM
Oh Lord above, what the hell are we
doing, Richard. We're lost, we don't
know where the hell we are and we
don't even know if the others are
even alive.
LEVINE
I don't know, Ian. I just don't know.
Up ahead an ANKYLOSAUR bellows out of the jungle. It
feels threatened but after coming out quickly it
suddenly stops and falls to the ground, dead.
MALCOLM
Uh, what the hell happened?
LEVINE reaches down and touches the face.
LEVINE
It's the disease, Ian. The same
disease I was talking about earlier.
A defect of some sorts.
MALCOLM
Could it be linked into their genetic
makeup?
LEVINE
Maybe. Could be the way they were
engineered.
MALCOLM looks up and sees over the treetops a roof.
CUT TO:
98 INT. BIOSYN LOUNGE - DIM 98
MALCOLM steps in quietly looking around.
LEVINE
I can't believe we found it.
MALCOLM
Uh, yeah.
They both stare at the dirtied objects around the room,
then THORNE comes around the corner with a rod and lifts
it up, but he notices them right away.
THORNE
Dr. Malcolm?
CUT TO:
99 INT. BIOSYN LAB - MOMENTS LATER 99
THORNE is sitting down at a desk.
THORNE
After the dinosaur ripped open the
underside of the car we took off,
swimming to the nearest shore. It
noticed us when we reached ground and
we high tailed it out of there.
LEVINE
What kind of dinosaur was it?
THORNE
I don't know anything about dinosaurs.
ARBY stands up form behind.
ARBY
It was big but had a small head, with
spikes over its eyes.
LEVINE
Ah, Carnotaurus sastrei. You were lucky.
LAURIE
I can't believe you found us.
MALCOLM looks off down the room and sees another section.
The door to that little room was marked "EMBRYONICS:
BIOHAZARD 'KEEP OUT'".
He moves off to the room.
THORNE
Dr. Malcolm?
MALCOLM says nothing, just keeps walking.
Finally, he's there. He studied the door. The door seems
to have an electronic lock with a key card slit and a
button.
MALCOLM looks around the room and sees a key card laying
on the concrete floor. He picks it up slowly, then,
slides it in the slit of the lock and pushes the button.
The door automatically slides open.
MALCOLM
That's what I thought. Richard!
LEVINE
Yeah?
MALCOLM
Go around the place and see if you
can't find some kind of source that
would say if this place had geothermal
power.
LEVINE
Sure thing...what's your point though?
MALCOLM
We might have a way to make contact
with the government and get them over
here to rescue us.
LEVINE
On it.
MALCOLM takes a breath and moves into the room.
CUT TO:
100 INT. EMBRYONICS ROOM - DIM 100
He takes a gander around seeing, file cabinets, desks,
and...
EMBRYONIC INCUBATORS.
They are shaped similar to what they looked like when
MALCOLM saw them at the visitor center exactly nine
years ago.
He sees the latch up at the top and grasps it into his
hands.
ARBY
What is it?
MALCOLM is silent, he pulls the top up and immediately
a cold cloud fell out and drooped down the incubator to
the ground.
LAURIE
They're still running.
MALCOLM sees the many embryos lined up in rows and
columns. Randomly he picks one out of the slot and
stares at it. It's labelled TYRANNOSAURUS REX.
Furiously, he throws it up against the wall and yells.
MALCOLM
Help me, guys. Come on.
MALCOLM gathers up more and tosses them all in the air.
They shatter to the ground seconds later. He goes to
the last incubator and throws some more to the ground.
He continues to do this, but neither of the three help
him out. They just stared blankly. Was he going insane?
MALCOLM takes out the last embryo and thrusts it to the
air...it hits the ground louder than any of the others.
MALCOLM slides down the wall and onto the ground
starring at the broken embryos on the floor.
THORNE
It's over, Dr. Malcolm. You did the
right thing.
MALCOLM shakes his head.
MALCOLM
They didn't.
LAURIE stares at MALCOLM with sorrow.
MALCOLM (cont'd)
They didn't see the through the
consequences. They didn't understand
the way things worked. They did
something without thinking of what
was morally right and just. They
didn't see the future that was so
obviously laid right in their laps.
And now they have nothing they can do
about it. The only way they could stop
was have more blood shed.
THORNE
It doesn't look like that will happen
again.
The camera looks down toward the broken embryos then we
FADE TO:
101 INT. BIOSYN LAB - DIM 101
LEVINE runs back from the other rooms.
CUT TO:
102 INT. EMBRYONICS ROOM - DIM 102
LEVINE enters the EMBRYONICS ROOM.
LEVINE
Geothermal, it seems.
THORNE has a file in his hands.
THORNE
Oh, Dr. Levine, you've got to read
this.
LEVINE
What is it?
He walks over to THORNE and takes the file. LEVINE'S
eyes scan the papers.
LEVINE (cont'd)
Oh, you're not going to believe this,
Dr. Malcolm.
MALCOLM stares up.
LEVINE (cont'd)
It seems InGen was the crooked company.
MALCOLM
What you mean?
LEVINE
What I mean is they stole the embryos
from BioSyn. Lewis Dogdson was the
chairman of BioSyn, and he was
determined to get those embryos back.
Since there was no true evidence and
everyone wanted the dinosaurs quiet,
BioSyn couldn't get the authorities
to take part in the whole ordeal. So
they hired an inside man without
telling him that the embryos were
were theirs, your Dennis Nedry. Things
went wrong and after many attempts to
bring the dinosaur embryos back, the
company just stole some research
papers and developed them back.
MALCOLM
(Whispering)
Damn it, John. Why didn't you tell me?
THORNE
Does it matter?
LEVINE
DX!
MALCOLM jumps up.
MALCOLM
Uh...what?
LEVINE
It's a disease.
MALCOLM
A disease?
LEVINE
Scientists are saying it came up with
them when they were birthed. None of
them in this paper know why though.
MALCOLM
So it goes that far back, eh?
LEVINE
So it seems.
CUT TO:
103 INT. LAB - DIM 103
ARBY starts to look in drawers of a nearby desk when
MALCOLM slowly walks into the lab. He notices how ARBY
looks bored and goes over to talk.
MALCOLM
Hi Arby.
ARBY
Hi.
MALCOLM
I don't think we ever got the chance
at...uh...getting to know each other.
ARBY
Why would you want to talk to me?
MALCOLM
Uh, I've got children as well, Arb.
Three of them, actually. But the other
two are with Ex Mrs. Malcolm.
(Chuckles)
Sadly, I miss them. The one that lives
with me is Kelly. She was adopted.
ARBY
How old is she?
MALCOLM
She's 18.
ARBY
Oh.
MALCOLM falls silent.
ARBY (cont'd)
Dr. Malcolm...
MALCOLM
Yes?
ARBY
You don't like dinosaurs...do you?
MALCOLM
Well, I could consider that since
I've been chased by them three times.
ARBY
You know what I mean. First seeing
them is...well...extraordinary...I think.
MALCOLM
Arb, your not visiting a zoo. Your
not petting domesticated animals.
They haven't been trained to go to
the bathroom on top of the newspaper
on the floor. Your in a place of
death and terror. The only way to
stay alive is know what it is...not
what you want it to be.
ARBY
So, they were never meant to be here...
Then, if they are still here...what
does it mean?
MALCOLM
They won't be here for long.
ARBY
Did you not have one second of awe
when you saw them...just one second?
MALCOLM
That was a long time ago, Arby. I'm
wiser.
THORNE walks into the lab.
THORNE
Guess what!
MALCOLM
What?
THORNE
Just 100 hundred yards away is a jeep
and a gas station!
MALCOLM
(Smiling)
You're kidding?
THORNE
Kid not.
MALCOLM
Great, are you going over there now?
THORNE
Yep.
He leaps over some objects and out the lab door.
ARBY
Be careful, Jack!
CUT TO:
104 EXT. PATH - DAY/CLEAR 104
The rain has stopped, leaving wet puddles in random
spots. THORNE skips across the muddy ground towards the
gas station.
He moves to the pumps checking them out. He pulls one of
them out of the hole and the head falls off to the
ground.
THORNE
(WHISPERING)
Shit...
CUT BACK TO:
105 EXT. ROOF - NIGHT/RAINY 105
MALCOLM busts down the door to the roof and walks to the
edge, looking down. Behind him follows LAURIE and ARBY.
He looks down.
MALCOLM
(TO HIMSELF)
Where are you, Thorne?
LAURIE looks down too.
LAURIE
It couldn't take this long.
MALCOLM
Unless something's happen.
LAURIE
I don't think so.
LEVINE comes through the roof door.
LEVINE
I've secured the doors and lit a bon
fire.
MALCOLM
Good. If Thorne comes back, be ready
to get him back in.
ARBY shakes his head.
ARBY
(TO LAURIE)
He should be here.
LEVINE looks at the trees. His eyes caught something...
Shadows...
LEVINE
Ian, you see this?
MALOLM
Uh, see what?
LEVINE turns again toward the shadows. His eyes
were adjusting to the dark and he was making out
the unusual swaying motion of the tree tops.
Something was in the trees.
LEVINE
The trees, Ian!
He points towards them.
MALCOLM
Oh...God. Hurry, Thorne.
CUT TO:
106 EXT. GAS STATION - NIGHT/RAINY 106
THORNE places two wires together under the steering
wheel, but all we can hear is the engine trying to
start, the low rumbling of disappointment.
THORNE shakes his head.
THORNE
Gas.
He moves over to another pump and this time the pump
works.
THORNE (cont'd)
Ah, yes.
CUT TO:
107 EXT. ROOF - NIGHT/RAINY 107
LAURIE looks around, holding ARBY in her arms. A soft
screeching sound of metal can be heard next to ARBY and
he begins to look over the edge. A three fingered hands
claws at him and snags his shirt, jerking him over the
roof.
LAURIE
Arby!
She claws in the air for ARBY and snatches his hand.
ARBY
Hold on to me, Laurie.
From above, LAURIE can see that the RAPTOR'S hand is
hanging on his shoe, and it is snarling.
MALCOLM and LEVINE ran to help when ARBY'S hand slipped
out of LAURIE'S fingers.
ALL
Arby!
All they could hear was the sound of his body hitting
the dark down below.
CUT TO:
108 EXT. GROUND - NIGHT/RAINY 108
ARBY looks around, his head hurts so he rubs it.
Something wet catches his hand. He can tell its
blood from the bon fire.
For a moment he's dazed, when memory flashes back to
him. The VELOCIRAPTOR that had fallen is now looking
around for him. ARBY quickly crawls around, searching
for anything that would help him. A few feet next to
the corner of the building was a small ALUMINIUM BAR
CAGE.
The RAPTOR sees his prey close the cage and the keys to
the lock drop to the ground. ARBY reaches for them but
the RAPTOR snatches it up. The elastic band around the
key snaps onto the lower jaw of the ferocious beast. It
rears back in surprise and picks at its face with its
claws frantically trying to scoot it off. ARBY can hear
the group's yelling from above and can see that there
are even more RAPTORS. About twelve.
To his surprised all of them were coming toward the
cage, sniffing. ARBY breaths heavily and holds onto the
bars, scooting back.
The closest RAPTOR snapped at the bars, then, feels
them with its tongue. Seconds later, it makes a call
for help. The other RAPTORS came to the cage, scooting
it with their jaws, feet, and hands into the jungle.
CUT TO:
109 EXT. ROOF - NIGHT/RAINY 109
MALCOLM watches the animals progress, studying what they
are doing.
LAURIE
Oh, God, Arby! Oh, God!
LEVINE
I think they are...
MALCOLM
Taking him to their nest.
LEVINE
Yeah.
LEVINE sees the JEEP coming from ahead. LEVINE runs
toward the rooftop door and down the steps.
LAURIE
He's going to save him!
CUT TO:
110 EXT. OUTSIDE BUILDING - NIGHT/RAINY 110
LEVINE races out the door and picks up a piece of wood
from the fire. He waves it through the air keeping away
the RAPTORS. They scream is frustration. Suddenly,
THORNE'S JEEP dead stops in back of LEVINE.
THORNE
(Yelling from the open window)
What's going on.
LEVINE manages to move towards the front passenger side
door and open it to jump in.
CUT TO:
111 INT. JEEP - DARK 111
LEVINE rolls down the window and jumps in with the
torch still in his hand. He keeps it outside the
window.
THROEN drives off leaving the rest of the RAPTORS
behind.
THORNE
What's going...
LEVINE
Arby's stuck in a cage and the
raptor's have taken him.
THORNE
Ah, shit!
CUT TO:
112 EXT. JUNGLE - DARK 112
The cage rolls down a small ditch. ARBY'S grunts are
low. He's loosing energy and can't fight it off.
The RAPTORS continue to roll the cage.
CUT TO:
113 EXT. ROOF - NIGHT/RAINY 113
LAURIE and MALCOLM look down below at the carnivores,
when something catches LAURIE'S eye.
A MOTORCYCLE.
It's laying close to where the cage was.
LAURIE
There's a motorcycle down there.
MALCOLM watches the RAPTOR with the key walk into the
jungle, still poking at its face.
MALCOLM
I'll hold them off. Go after the one
with the key.
They both run to the door.
CUT TO:
114 EXT. JUNGLE - NIGHT/RAINY 114
The JEEP rolls over bushes and foliage as it increases
speed at the small objects up ahead.
CUT TO:
115 INT. JEEP - DARK 115
THORNE'S grip on the wheel is tight as he turns.
THORNE
Where is he...do you see?
LEVINE
I see something.
THORNE
Is it him?
LEVINE
I don't know. Calm down.
LEVINE squints. He pokes his head out the open window.
LEVINE (cont'd)
Wait, it is him.
CUT BACK TO:
116 EXT. OUTSIDE BUILDING - NIGHT/RAINY 116
MALCOLM takes a torch from the fire and flings it at a
RAPTOR'S face. The animal gets burnt on the side. It
screams but can't get by.
MALCOLM
Hurry, Laurie!
LAURIE, behind him, is pouring a bucket of gasoline in
the MOTORCYCE. There's only enough to take it out for a
couple of minutes. She pulls the MOTORCYCLE up and
jumps on.
MALCOLM throws the torch down and jumps on the back.
MALCOLM (cont'd)
You know how to drive?
LAURIE
Of course!
She twists the right bar and flies toward the RAPTOR
with the key.
CUT TO:
117 EXT. JUNGLE - NIGHT/RAINY 117
The JEEP stops at the edge of a waterbed. The cage is
laying in it with the RAPTORS snarling. The closest
jumps on the front of the vehicle, screaming.
LEVINE swats at it with the torch. The other RAPTORS
jump back from the cage.
LEVINE
Get back!
The leap backward some more. They are now jumping up
and down...agitated.
THORNE
Come on!
THORNE jumps out of the vehicle when the coast is clear.
He grabs the cage up in his arms. Since it is aluminium
it's not all that heavy. ARBY is knocked out inside the
cage.
THORNE heaves it in the back of the JEEP and retreats
to the DRIVER'S seat.
LEVINE throws the torch at the ferocious RAPTORS and
goes back to the JEEP.
The JEEP takes off at enormous speeds and we aren't
surprised when the RAPTORS follow behind going just as
fast. One of the RAPTORS hooks onto the nerf bar.
CUT TO:
118 EXT. JUNGLE - NIGHT/RAINY 118
The MOTORCYCLE goes along beside the RAPTOR, its
heaving body keeping a steady pace. MALCOLM reaches
over with one hand to the lower jaw of the carnivore.
It snaps back, nearly biting off his hand. MALCOLM
shows disgust for it and continues to grab the key. It
snaps again.
Frustrated, MALCOLM grabs for it quickly and the key
slides off into his hands. At the same time, he hits
LAURIE and she looses control of the MOTORCYCLE making
it slide onto the ground and knocking the RAPTOR off
its feet, unconscious.
LAURIE and MALCOLM roll continuously on the ground until
they dead stop.
CUT TO:
119 INT. JEEP - DARK 119
As THORNE drives he watches the rear view mirror seeing
the ALPHA MALE RAPTOR on the nerf bar crawl up and grab
the cage with its mouth.
THORNE
Take the wheel!
LEVINE takes it while THORNE runs to the back. Before
the RAPTOR could get the cage out, THORNE grasps one of
the bars and holds tightly.
The RAPTOR tugs, but THORNE just keeps pulling it back.
In the drivers seat, LEVINE makes the JEEP swerve to
the right, trying to get the RAPTOR off, but it won't
budge. Two more RAPTORS are coming up from the left
side of the vehicle; LEVINE can see this from the left
side mirror.
LEVINE
Oh, no.
CUT TO:
120 EXT. JUNGLE - NIGHT/RAINY 120
One of the FEMALE RAPTORS pounces on top of the canopy,
its weight tearing it apart and falling into the back
of the jeep.
CUT TO:
121 INT. JEEP - DARK 121
The FEMALE RAPTOR falls on the top of the cage. ARBY,
inside finally opens his eyes and sees it, snarling at
him.
ARBY screams and THORNE kicks at the animal, sending it
out of the back of the JEEP. It almost knocks over the
ALPHA MALE RAPTOR.
The carnivore clings on and then starts to walk toward
THORNE.
LEVINE watches the RAPTOR from the rear view mirror. We
can see he's stuck between decisions. He's about to do
something really daring and risky.
LEVINE sees that he's on a long field so he puts the
JEEP in cruise control and leaps back onto the RAPTOR
sending them both flying out of the vehicle.
CUT TO:
122 EXT. FIELD - NIGHT/RAINY 122
LEVINE hits the ground hard, feet first. His back is
thrown out and it takes him a couple of seconds to pull
his head up.
CUT TO:
123 INT. JEEP - DARK 123
THORNE jumps back into the drivers seat and take it off
of cruise control. Then, he turns the JEEP around back
to LEVINE.
CUT TO:
124 EXT. FIELD - NIGHT/RAINY 124
The ALPHA MALE RAPTOR kicks LEVINE in the stomach. He
spits up blood onto the mud and falls back down to the
ground. LEVINE, as we can see, has been beaten very
severely.
The RAPTOR attempts to pounce when the JEEP hits it
head on, knocking it at a tree.
THORNE gets out and pulls LEVINE into the JEEP just as
another batch of RAPTORS come into view.
The JEEP drives off.
CUT TO:
125 EXT. OUTSIDE BUILDING - NIGHT/RAINY 125
MALCOLM and LAURIE watch as the JEEP stops in front of
them. The RAPTORS have already disappeared and the rain
is beginning to stop.
THORNE opens the door and drags LEVINE out.
THORNE
Come on, help me. Dr. Levine is hurt.
MALCOLM rushes over and pulls LEVINE over his shoulders
and carries him into the building.
THORNE comes out of the back with the cage.
CUT TO:
126 INT. MEDICAL ROOM - DIM 126
MALCOLM has LEVINE on a stretcher, taking torn clothing
and pressing it against his chest and stomach. The blood
won't stop.
MALCOLM
Come on stay with me, Richard. Stay
with me.
Behind him, THORNE places the cage on a counter. LAURIE
walks up to the cage and unlocks the door. ARBY is
bruised up badly but will live. THORNE takes ARBY into
his arms.
THORNE
Your gonna be ok, Arb. Ok.
MALCOLM holds onto LEVINE'S hand.
LEVINE
(Coughing up blood)
I'm sorry, Ian. I'm so sorry.
MALCOLM
It's ok...You'll be fine...
LEVINE
No I won't, Ian.
LEVINE smiles.
MALCOLM
Yes you will.
LEVINE squeezes his hand.
LEVINE
Ian...
MALCOLM puts his ear to his mouth.
LEVINE (cont'd)
(Whispering)
Ian, I'm sorry. I was an ass. None
of this would have happened if I
hadn't have gone. I'm so sorry.
Forgive...
(Closes his eyes)
...forgive me.
A tear comes to MALCOLM'S face.
ARBY
(To Thorne but weak)
Did he save me?
THORNE
Yeah, he was a hero tonight.
ARBY
Thank you...
ARBY sleeps in his arms. LAURIE starts to cry.
CUT TO:
127 INT. MEDICAL ROOM - DIM/MINUTES LATER 127
MALCOLM sits in front of LEVINE'S body, which is now
covered with a sheet. THORNE comes into the room.
THORNE
Come on, Dr. Malcolm. We need to get
going.
THORNE begins to turn around when MALCOLM speaks.
MALCOLM
When I first met him, we were on a
subway. It was before I was going to
Isla Sorna. He joked about the
disaster I was in, not believing it.
He came back to me after the San
Diego incident. He wanted to know
more about dinosaurs. I was unwilling
to help him, obviously, so I gave out
Dr. Alan Grant's number.
MALCOLM shakes his head.
MALCOLM (cont'd)
He wanted nothing more than to witness
dinosaurs. Real dinosaurs. He would
risk his life to do it.
THORNE
Would you?
MALCOLM
Of course not.
THORNE
Then let's get the hell out of here!
MALCOLM jumps up.
MALCOLM
Ok!
CUT TO:
128 EXT. JUNGLE - NIGHT 128
The rain has stopped once more as the JEEP roars through
the dark jungle. Over rocks and hills it goes.
CUT TO:
129 EXT. JUNGLE - NIGHT/MINUTES LATER 129
The JEEP stalls some and then comes to a complete stop.
CUT TO:
130 INT. JEEP - DARK 130
MALCOLM looks at his watch.
4:35 A.M.
Then, he looks at the fuel gage.
EMPTY.
CUT TO:
131 EXT. JUNGLE - NIGHT 131
He opens up the door and takes out his back pack. The
others come out following him into the jungle.
CUT TO:
132 EXT. JUNGLE - NIGHT/MINUTES LATER 132
MALCOLM is in the lead, looking around the jungle cautiously.
ARBY runs up to him.
ARBY
Hey.
MALCOLM
Hey...
ARBY
When does the helicopter pick us up?
MALCOLM
6:00.
ARBY
Do you think we'll make it?
MALCOLM
According to the map that I found, we
can.
ARBY
Shhh...
ARBY motions for everybody to stop. They do.
ARBY (cont'd)
(WHISPERING)
Everybody stay where you are and be
quiet.
MALCOLM sees in front of him an outline of a creature. It is blended into its environment.
LEVINE (V.O.)
It came out of no where!
MALCOLM breaths heavily when the creature comes at his face.
It's CARNOTAURUS SASTRE.
The carnivore sniffs at the dirty grim face.
THORNE and LAURIE are horrified. Will they loose another
member of the team?
The CARNOTAURUS shakes its head and leaves into the foliage.
They sigh with relief.
CUT TO:
133 EXT. JUNGLE - NIGHT/MINUTES LATER 133
The group walks over lush greenery when two small albino dinosaurs runs across
the grass, holding two eggs. A
GALLIMIMUS runs after them at high speed. LAURIE is nearly
run over.
THORNE
I know what those things are!
ARBY
You do?
THORNE
Yeah I saw it in one of your books.
ARBY
Well?
THORNE
I believe it was...Oviraptor...
MALCOLM
The last of that name spooks me.
MALCOLM chuckles.
THORNE
(YELL)
Talking about jinxing us, Dr. Malcolm!
MALCOLM, ARBY, and LAURIE look back. Five VELOCIRAPTORS are on the ridge up
ahead, snarling.
MALCOLM
Run!
They dash ahead into the dark foliage, the RAPTOR'S cries
exactly on cue.
The RAPTORS speed after them, their mouths opening and saliva slapping on the side of their face.
The group comes to a LARGE CLIFF and they look down. All they
can see at the bottom is water.
They look back again seeing the RAPTORS coming closer.
MALCOLM
We're gonna have to jump!
ARBY
Uh...uh! I am not!
THORNE
No time, grab my hand!
ARBY grabs his hands and together they jump into space.
MALCOLM and LAURIE jump later.
CUT TO:
134 EXT. LAKE - NIGHT 134
The group falls into the water, hearing the sound of the
screams of the RAPTORS fading into the rush of water.
They swim toward the bank of the lake. More splashes can
be heard and they look back seeing the RAPTORS in the
water, swimming like fish.
MALCOLM dives into the water looking at the dark deep. He
sees some of the RAPTORS swimming also underneath. He
resurfaces.
MALCOLM
Keep going!
The animals snarl behind them. One of the RAPTORS gets close to ARBY. He screams in horror as it opens its mouth.
Suddenly...
A 25 foot PLESIOSAUR comes up from the lake. It's long neck blocking the RAPTORS only move. ARBY keeps swimming.
CUT TO:
135 EXT. JUNGLE - NIGHT 135
MALCOLM helps out ARBY and THORNE from the lake. LAURIE
is already running up ahead towards a small BIOSYN SHED.
In the back of it is another medium sized building.
LAURIE opens the door of the SHED and waits for the
others. Second's later they go in and they shut the door
behind them.
CUT TO:
136 INT. SHED - DARK 136
MALCOLM looks around frantically.
MALCOLM
Weapons. Look for them.
They scatter about searching for anything. THORNE finds
a long rod.
THORNE
Here!
They look back when they hear the chirping echoes of the VELOCIRAPTORS.
CUT TO:
137 EXT. JUNGLE - DAWN 137
Dawn is upon the jungle, casting everything red, as if
your were looking through a red balloon. The RAPTORS
coming into view looking around, sniffing the air, and
calling for help. The lead RAPTOR, alpha female, sees
the SHED up ahead and calls out to the others.
CUT TO:
138 INT. SHED - DARK 138
THORNE looks around and his eyes catches a desk.
THORNE
The desk...quick, push it to the door!
Everyone helps push the desk up and onto the door just
as a RAPTOR pounces onto it, knocking them back a
little by surprise.
MALCOLM pushed the desk hard as the RAPTOR sticks its
foot out in between the door and the threshold. It
screams out in pain when they all three push on it.
ARBY looks around. He sees a desk with a computer
hooked up.
Maybe if he could just help by...computer?
He manoeuvres over to it in the nearest chair, turns it
on and waits.
Meanwhile, the RAPTORS are pounding against the boarded
up windows and knocking the wood off with the glass. One
RAPTOR sticks its head out to snap at THORNE but he
throws the rod in its face and pokes the eye.
CUT TO:
139 EXT. JUNGLE - DAWN 139
The RAPTOR flings its head back and falls to the ground.
CUT TO:
140 INT. SHED - DARK 140
ARBY sees icons floating around. He's confused.
THORNE tries with all his strength to fight off the
RAPTOR heads coming in through the windows. MALCOLM and
LAURIE keep the desk steady and secure.
ARBY shakes his head in disbelief. A COMPY scurries on
the floor. ARBY stares at it curiously, then, it speeds
off under his desk. He falls to his knees to find the COMPSYGNATHUS had disappeared.
His eyes adjust to the
darkness and he sees that the VENT system is underneath.
A hole at the bottom right torn away.
ARBY gets up, pushes the desk away and yells.
ARBY
Hey guys!
They look back; ARBY'S pointing to the VENT.
THORNE throws the rod at the RAPTOR'S face through the
window, and MALCOLM and LAURIE run to ARBY.
THORNE pushes ARBY to go into the space.
THORNE
Go now.
The desk slides back from a RAPTOR'S kick and they look in...DUMBFOUNDED by the sight.
Nobody was in the SHED.
CUT TO:
141 INT VENTILATION SYSTEM - DARK 141
MALCOLM looks back seeing the head of a MALE RAPTOR
peeking in. The RAPTOR screams.
Laurie
Oh dear God, hurry, Arby!
ARBY sees red beams coming from up head.
MALCOLM
The object of the game is to go
faster...I'd put that to good use,
quickly!
ARBY crawls to the vent and kicks it out.
CUT TO:
142 EXT. JUNGLE - DAWN 142
ARBY leaves room for THORNE, LAURIE, and MALCOLM to get
out. As MALCOLM crawls away the RAPTOR'S head comes
through and bites onto his leg. MALCOLM shakes it off
and they run into the foliage. The RAPTOR tries hard to
push out of the vent space but it won't fit. It's stuck.
In frustration it calls for help.
CUT TO:
143 EXT. JUNGLE - DAWN/MINUTES LATER 143
The dark red of the sky and surroundings is now a bright red.
ARBY is holding onto THORNE.
ARBY
Are we almost there?
THORNE
I don't know, bro.
LAURIE comes up to MALCOLM.
LAURIE
So, is your leg ok?
MALCOLM
It's fine.
MALCOLM doesn't bother to wince in pain or to shake it
off.
LAURIE
Your still sad.
MALCOLM
No I'm not.
LAURIE
It's ok to be...
MALCOLM
Look, no disrespect to Richard, but
it looks as though he's caused enough
pain this week. Result is two deaths
and his own. Last week, his pilot was
killed too. Uh, to tell you the truth,
I have no idea what to feel.
LAURIE
I think you do.
MALCOLM
No...No...No...
LAURIE
Yes, you just can't express your
feelings.
MALCOLM stops, points his finger in front of LAURIE'S
face.
MALCOLM
What the hell do you know about
feelings?
A soft sound of blades twirling enters the ears of the
group. ARBY jumps up and down.
ARBY
The chopper...the chopper!
ARBY runs off.
THORNE
Arb, don't run so fast!
They all rush behind him into a field. There are rusty
cages ranging from 5 to 16 feet tall. They are all
scattered across the field.
They see the chopper coming above the trees, a
silhouette against a red backdrop of sky.
They cheer with loudness when...
A TYRANNOSAURUS REX bellows out of the jungle towards
them. They all look back in terror watching the mighty
beast come bounding out from the green foliage and
toward them with it's mouth hanging open.
ARBY runs right while MALCOLM, THORNE, and LAURIE run
left, going around cages.
THORNE
Arby, come this way!
But it is too late. ARBY is out of sight.
They soon find themselves trapped when the TYRANNOSAUR
is already breathing down their necks. MALCOLM motions
for THORNE and LAURIE to go into the nearest cage.
CUT TO:
144 INT. CAGE - DAWN 144
They slide through the bars as the TYRANNOSAUR snaps at
LAURIE. Teeth catch some of her shirts and it's pulled
off.
She screams. MALCOLM falls to the ground and crawls
backward when another TYRANNOSAUR head appears being
him, the MALE. It roars at MALCOLM and he gets back
from the carnivore.
CUT TO:
145 EXT. FIELD OF CAGES - DAWN 145
ARBY is stunned, seeing the two TYRANNOSAURS begin to
rock the cage back and forth.
ARBY jumps around trying to find something...anything.
His eyes concentrate on a nearby long necked crane. He
runs to it and inside of it.
CUT TO:
145 INT. CAGE - DAWN 145
The FEMALE TYRANNOSAUR rips away some of the bars from
the top of the CAGE and roars. MALCOLM, THORNE, and
LAURIE lay down on the floor of the cage.
The MALE TYRANNOSAUR dives its head into the cage,
snapping its jaws, trying hard to grab onto the
helpless humans.
Its head goes back up and the FEMALE TYRANNOSAUR
continues to bite the bars off.
CUT TO:
146 INT. CRANE - DAWN 146
ARBY looks back and forth at the numerous levers.
Rushing, he picks out one. It makes the machine move
forward. He stops it quickly. He picks randomly again,
this time, it moves the crane neck to the right, toward
the cages and the dinosaurs.
CUT TO:
147 EXT. FIELD OF CAGES - DAWN 147
The MALE TYRANNOSAUR roars and ducks as the crane neck
moves above it.
ARBY uses his educated guess and pulls the next lever
sending the hook down towards the cage. The FEMALE
TYRANNOSAUR stops biting on the bars and stares at the
hook in confusion.
It connects to one of the remaining chewed up bars and
in seconds the crane is lifting the steel cage up above
the TYRANNOSAURS' heads.
They roar in agitation.
Up above, the HELICOPTER descends a little.
CUT TO:
148 INT. HELICOPTOR - DIM 148
The PILOT looks down seeing the animals leaping for the
cage above their heads.
PILOT
Son of a bitch!
CUT TO:
149 EXT. CAGE - DAWN 149
MALCOLM, THORNE, and LAURIE climb up the side of the
cage, as a rope ladder hits the top of it. They look
up to see that the ladder was coming from the
HELICOPTER. As they get to the top THORNE turns to
MALCOLM and LAURIE.
THORNE
Go on up. I'll get Arby!
They start to climb the ladder as THORNE looks over at
the
crane.
ARBY climbs to the top of the machine.
The MALE TYRANNOSAUR notices ARBY in the machine. It
roars and bellows after him.
THORNE (cont'd)
No!
THORNE climbs on the crane and with all his focus he
runs on the neck down to the machine. The HELICOPTER
follows close behind.
THORNE grabs ARBY and the rope ladder at the same time
just as the jaws of the TYRANNOSAUR opened.
They lifted up on the ladder, the carnivore's mouth
shutting only on air.
THORNE looks down at the two rampaging TYRANNOSAURS.
They had lost their prey for good. ARBY stares away.
CUT TO:
150 INT. HELICOPTER - DIM 150
THORNE is in the middle, ARBY and LAUIRE laying on both
sides of him asleep. MALCOLM is looking at them,
remembering.
CUT TO FLASHBACK:
151 INT. HELICOPTER - DIM 151
GRANT is in the middle with the two kids asleep on both
sides.
CUT BACK TO:
152 INT. HELICOPTER - DIM 152
MALCOLM looks out the window.
MALCOLM
She was right.
THORNE is confused.
THORNE
Laurie? About what?
MALCOLM
I miss Richard. He was truly my
friend.
THORNE
What will happened when we get back?
Will we tell the Costa Rican
government?
MALCOLM
Yes. We will inform them. But would it
matter much? In a matter of years,
they'll be gone anyway. Whether they
were meant to be here or not, they
are dying out. Today starts the dawn
of extinction. In the mean time I
guess we should learn to adapt with
them.
THORNE nods. MALCOLM looks outside the window. Two
BRACHIOSAURS are wrapping their necks around each other.
ARBY opens his eyes a little looking at MALCOLM.
MALCOLM gets what he hadn't in 11 years. AWE! And he
smiles in spite of it.
ARBY notices the grin and closes his eyes.
CUT TO:
153 EXT. SKY - DAWN 153
Camera pans up to:
Ariel view of the Costa Rican jungle, its majestic red
landscape blending to the deep red sky.
The helicopter moves in to the center of the bright sun.
THE END
