BACK ON RAFT AT WATERFALL -
Grant still clings to the overhanging branch, holding the raft from
toppling over the crashing waterfall. Lex and Timmy hold onto his legs.
The ROAR of the
water diminishes. And the flow subsides from a raging
current to a rolling river. And then to a gentle stream. A trickle.
Nothing.
Grant slowly relaxes, lets go. So do the children. Around the raft,
the water level begins to drain. Gradually, Grant and the kids are left
in the raft sitting in just a few puddles of water. Around them,
various pumps and other equipment is exposed where it was once covered
by rushing white water.
LEX
The waterfall stopped.
TIMMY
Waterfalls aren't supposed to stop.
GRANT
I think they cut the power. Hey -
He points and the three of them look over the edge where the waterfall
once poured. There's a shimmering rainbow and beyond that, in the mist
is the visitor's center.
GRANT
Well, there's our pot of gold. Let's go,
kids.
They grab his hands and clamber out of the raft, running toward shore.
BACK ON CON
TROL ROOM -
Muldoon pulls open the blinds and the hot sun filters in, so the room is
alternate patches of bright and dark.
In a hot corner, Ellie squats over a prostate Hammond, mopping his brow
with a cool cloth. He murmurs, only barely intelligible.
HAMMOND
Told him, fix my park, fix my park.
Wu brings the printout to Arnold. The printout is a chronological
rendering of control room events since the restart. It is clear they
have been running on auxiliary power. Wu yells above the alarm:
WU
You shut down as six thirty-four this
morning, and when you started back up, it
was with auxiliary power.
ARNOLD
Jesus. The auxiliary generator fires up
first and then that's used to start the
main generator because it needs a heavy
charge. The main generator has to be
manually reset.
WU
Outside? In
the generator building?
Arnold nods. Muldoon points to a line in the printout:
06:35:22 WARNING: FENCE STATUS (NB) OPERATIVE - AUX POWER
MULDOON
This doesn't mean the fences have been
off since six-thirty, does it?
Arnold grabs the paper, looks at it, slams it down.
ARNOLD
Backup power doesn't generate enough
amperage to power the electrified fences,
so they were automatically kept off.
That's also why we had no phones or
radio.
MULDOON
All of the fences?
ARNOLD
Yes.
MULDOON
Including the velociraptor mesh?
ARNOLD
(disgusted, exhausted)
Yes, yes, yes.
In the corner, Hammond lifts his head and Ellie gently helps him to a
sitting position.
HAMMOND
Do you mean those raptor
s could be loose?
ARNOLD
I'm afraid so.
MULDOON
No, no way. Last time, it took 'em two
days to chew through that mesh. But give
'em enough time, they'll get out. We
better get that power on now.
HAMMOND
Regardless, check the pit. Make sure
there' five of them there.
EXT VISITOR'S CENTER - AFTERNOON
Muldoon and Arnold run across the lawn. Muldoon carries his rocket
launcher at a ready position. In the distance, the alarm still SOUNDS,
lights FLASH a continued warning.
They reach the maintenance building where the generator is housed. Its
familiar him has been replaced by its own alarms. The closer they
approach, the louder and brighter these alarms are. Grey steam pours
out of the vents of the building, obscuring everything.
ARNOLD
What's that steam coming out of my
generator room?
MULDOON
Relax, it's just refrigerated air.
There's a leaky cooling pipe. I fixed it
a couple times before but the original
installation was at too sharp an angle.
Arnold accepts this. He is about to enter when Muldoon instructs him.
MULDOON
Just go and turn on your generator, then
get right back to the control room.
Arnold lights a cigarette and disappears into the steam-shrouded door.
EXT RAPTOR PIT - AFTERNOON
Muldoon inspects an extremely discouraging sight. The thick mesh that
covered the pit has been chewed through and ripped open. With heavy gun
in one hand, Muldoon shines his flashlight into the pit. It's empty.
Muldoon looks up.
MULDOON'S POV - the dense forest surrounding the Visitor's Center.
Muldoon examines the ground. He locates the raptor prints leading away
Muldoon breaks into a run.
INT/EXT GENERATOR ROOM - AFTERNOON
Muldoon comes back to the generator room still runnin
g full-tilt. He
kicks open the door. Steam pours out. Standing in the thick steam,
Muldoon yells for Arnold. No answer. He steps in the doorway and
shines his flashlight around.
MULDOON'S POV - Only the dark abstract shapes of rakes and coiled ropes
and small machinery can be seen in the steam.
Muldoon yells again. No answer at all. Muldoon curses and leaves.
As soon as Muldoon is gone, there is movement. Even above the sirens,
an animalistic breathing, grunting can be heard. Obscured by steam and
flashing lights, a reptilian claw clutches a shadow. A pack of
cigarettes falls to the ground, spilling out on the floor.
INT CONTROL ROOM - AFTERNOON
Muldoon enters and confronts Hammond, Ellie, and Wu,
MULDOON
Raptors chewed their way out. All five
are out there.
ELLIE
Arnold's not with you?
Muldoon looks around grimly. He shakes his head.
MULDOON
I was hoping he was ba
ck here already.
Hammond takes charge.
HAMMOND
This is why my quarters were specially
fortified. To assist in an emergency just
like this one. Let's go. Muldoon, round
up the workers. They'll go with us too.
Muldoon stares at Hammond, then drops it. They prepare to go.
ELLIE
Wait. What about Arnold?
EXT HILLSIDE, PARK -
Grant and the kids come over the hill. Timmy sees the big fence and the
Visitor's Center close behind.
TIMMY
We're home!
Lex and Grant happily run down the hill.
EXT ELECTRIFIED FENCE IN PARK - AFTERNOON
Grant and the kids stand in the long shadows of the electric fence.
This huge fence is much higher than what Timmy has had to climb. Grant
turns to him apologetically.
GRANT
Sorry, Tim. We gotta climb up.
TIM
That's all right, Dr. Grant. You owe me
one.
EXT HAMMOND'S QUARTERS - AFTERNOON
Wu stands at the open sliding gate of the perimeter fence surrounding
Hammond's quarters.. Next to him is Ellie. Behind both of them,
launcher at the ready, is Muldoon. Watching from the window above,
Hammond waves. Ellie and Wu wear radio headsets.
MULDOON
Okay Wu, I'll have you covered at every
moment. But this shell carries quite a
punch, so if you're too close, it'll take
a piece of you. Ellie's on the headset
with you. If another ones come at you,
let her know. Then Ellie - you start
jumping and yelling. The buggers are
easily distracted. They'll come running
and let Wu get that power on. Then both
of you, get behind this fence as quick as
possible.
Wu and Ellie nod seriously and test radio contact. We starts his way
across the lawn, Muldoon limps behind with his launcher. Ellie stands
ready at the open
gate.
Wu takes slow steps. Muldoon follows. Wu is just five feet away from
the door to the generator building.
CLOSE ON - Wu's tense face.
THE ATTACK is sudden and fierce. It comes from the brush. The raptor
leaps onto Wu in an instant. Wu and the raptor roll on the ground. Wu
struggles for his life. Muldoon can't get a safe shot. He SCREAM:
MULDOON
Wu, get away. Give me room to shoot.
Ellie comes running away from the safety of the gate. She jumps up and
down, waving her hands, and SCREAMS:
ELLIE
Hey you cretaceous dromaeosaur, you can't
catch me. Hey, come and get me, you
flat-snouted Mongolian beast. Hey!
The Raptor is distracted by this. He lets Wu go for a moment, shaking
him loose from his bloody jaws. Instantly, Wu rolls away. Muldoon
fires the rocket launcher. With a SIZZLE, the missile fires. BOOM!
Direct hit! The raptor is blown to tiny pieces.
Muldoon grabs Wu and pulls the inju
red man to safety.
MULDOON
You ok?
In reply Wu gets to his feet, looks where the Raptor was.
WU
Now, there's four.
Muldoon helps Wu back inside the fence. He waves for Ellie to come in
and join them.
Ellie takes off toward the generator building. She YELLS:
ELLIE
I'm going in. Muldoon, cover the door
after I go in. Wu, guide me!
Muldoon yells for her to wait but stops when he realizes that this may
be their best plan.
Ellie races like a gazelle across the open lawn. She's very fast and
graceful. She ducks into the generator building.
Above it all, Hammond watches at the small viewing window.
BACK ON - GRANT AND KIDS AT FENCE
The three are at the top of the fence now. Grant carefully lifts Lex
above the barbed wire and she grabs onto the other side of the fence to
begin the climb down. Grant grabs Tim and lifts him next. Tim's tense
face is a river of sweat.
INT GE
NERATOR BUILDING -
Ellie finishes the stairs and feels her way along the basement wall.
Her face is lit by a flashing yellow light. She bangs her head on a
pipe. She rubs her head.
ELLIE
Damn, I banged my head.
WU (OVER RADIO)
Oh that's good, that must be the water
pipe. You're really close now, there's a
cabinet just above your head. Reach up
and open it. The handle turns to the
left.
Ellie turns the handle. The cabinet opens.
WU (OVER RADIO)
It's a large throw-switch. Pull it down,
count to three, and push it back up.
That's all there is to it.
Ellie throws it down. She counts:
ELLIE
One -
BACK ON GRANT AND KIDS -
Just a few feet from the bottom of the fence.
BACK ON ELLIE -
ELLIE
Two -
BACK ON GRANT AND KIDS -
Grant and Timmy jump down.
Lex is just behind. Her sneaker catches in
the fence pattern. She pulls on it.
BACK ON ELLIE -
ELLIE
Three!
She throws the large switch back.
BACK ON LEX -
She jumps off the fence. Her sneaker comes off, falls to the ground.
CAMERA PUSHES IN ON LEX - it celebrates her narrow escape.
Grant casually leans against the fence to help Lex with her shoe.
NOTHING! STILL NO ELECTRIC FENCES!
The Visitor's Center is in sight. They all turn to each other. Elated.
LEX
We did it!
TIM
We made it!
Lex jumps up and down. Grant smiles, high-fives Timmy.
BACK ON ELLIE -
The siren and the flashing lights stop. The room lights go on. Ellie
turns to go back upstairs. Her foot slips, she falls to the ground.
She has slipped on a pool of blood. She jumps up, recoils.
It's Arnold. She squelches a SCREAM, covering her own mouth.
SMASH! Ellie SCREAMS as a raptor lunges at her. He jumps down
from
above the water pipe Ellie banged her head on.
Ellie turns and races toward a ventilation shaft. She dives into it.
The raptor gets there a second late and smashes against the shaft wall.
Ellie pushes herself against the shaft wall and, using her legs to push
against the wall, begins to climb up.
The raptor smashes against the shaft again and gets inside. Ellie
scrambles up. The raptor snarls and spits but it is momentarily pinned.
Ellie continues her scramble up the shaft. At ground level, she slams
her feet hard against a vent, popping it open. Scraping the wall and
banging against pipes, she races toward the door.
EXT GENERATOR BUILDING - CONTINUING ACTION
Ellie runs full-tilt toward the fence surrounding Hammond's quarters.
Wu, injured, lies within the safety of the fenced area. Muldoon stands
with his rocket launcher just outside the fence waiting for Ellie.
Ellie screams to him as she speeds across the lawn.
ELLIE
Raptor!
The raptor EXPLODES th
rough the door of the generator building after
Ellie.
Muldoon fires at the raptor. Misses. No time to reload.
The raptor gains on Ellie. Muldoon ducks inside the fence's heavy gate.
He slides the gate half-shut, waving Ellie on.
Ellie dives inside the safety of the fence, losing her headset as she
goes. The gate is almost closed. The raptor lunges.
Muldoon slides shut the heavy gate, bashing the raptor's head with all
his might. The raptor shudders, caught in the gate. Stunned, for a
second, it doesn't move.
Ellie and Muldoon run to the building. They push open the steel-clad
security door and dive inside. Wu limping, chases after them. With a
curse, Muldoon pushes the door back open, waves for Wu.
ELLIE AND MULDOON'S POV - Wu runs frantically. The raptor jerks out of
the gate, inside of the fence. He races after Wu.
WU
Keep it open! I'm coming!
Wu runs faster. The raptor gains on him. Wu screams, runs spastically.
Wu and the raptor are neck-and-neck
, equally close to the open door.
ELLIE
Come on, Wu! Come on! Run!
The raptor is inches from Wu. Both are closer and closer to the door.
ELLIE
They're coming inside!
WU
Help!
Wu and the raptor are at the door.
MULDOON
No they're not, Ellie.
Muldoon slams the door shut on Wu and the raptor. Wu's screams are
horrific.
INT HAMMOND'S QUARTERS - CONTINUING ACTION
Ellie drops to her knees, her chest heaving, pulls her headset off with
a bleeding hand. Muldoon, affected, turns to her.
MULDOON
I couldn't compromise everyone's safety.
Ellie nods, catches her breath.
ELLIE
Why didn't the power go on?
MULDOON
You just reset the power. Now the
computer has to be booted.
Muldoon looks out the tiny barred window of the security do
or.
MULDOON'S POV - There is already almost no sign of Wu. The gate to the
perimeter fence slides shut. The raptor looks up. He is trapped within
the perimeter fence of Hammond's quarters.
CAMERA SLOWLY TILTS to the viewing window above. Hammond stares down.
INT VISITOR'S CENTER -
Grant and kids walk through the open security doors. All is empty and
quiet. They call out but there are no answers.
LEX
Where did everybody go?
Grant thinks.
GRANT
Probably your grandfather's quarters.
Let's go.
A DISTANT BELLOW. Grant reconsiders.
GRANT
Actually, stay here.
He corrals the kids into the half completed enclosure of the Gift Shop.
LEX
No, I want to stay with you.
Grant looks around tensely.
GRANT
No, keep an eye on things round here for
me. I'll be back with the others.
TIMMY
What about -
Grant looks at Timmy.
GRANT
I'll radio the ship as soon as I find
somebody. (beat) You're in charge now.
Don't move from here ... unless you have
to, ok?
Timmy nods. Lex is happy, sinks to the floor.
LEX
Goody! I'm gonna rest.
She finds a box of wind-up dinosaur toys. She winds one. Sends it
walking to Timmy.
TIMMY
Tired! He carried you the whole way.
Grant slips off into the concealing shadows of the skeletal display of
the T-rex and raptor in combat. He looks back above his own shoulder
into the menacing jaws of the skeletal raptor. He shouts back.
GRANT
Be right back.
INT HAMMOND'S QUARTERS -
It's a madhouse in the crowded baronial quarters of Hammond. Gennaro is
singing at the top of his-lungs while Harding tries to restrain him.
Scared Workers huddle together, many a
re injured. Hammond sits on the
floor, in a meditative trance.
Ellie and Muldoon stare out the window.
THEIR POV - The raptor is jumping in the air. With every jump he comes
closer to leaping onto the roof of their small building.
Muldoon regards his rocket launcher ruefully.
ELLIE
Why don't you just nail that bastard?
MULDOON
No more ammo. I requisitioned six
charges but the bean-counter -
(he thrusts a finger at Hammond)
- cut it down to two.
Ellie looks up to the ceiling. There is a large glass skylight with
crisscrossing iron bars casting an ominous shadow in the sun.
EXT THE ANNE B AT SEA - DAY
The ship continues along smooth sunlit sea. Land is in distant sight.
INT STATEROOM -
The cracked egg is nudged open. The cute scaly head of a six-inch baby
raptor nuzzles its way out of the shell. It shakes off a few pieces of
clinging shell and immediately begins to devour one of the
remaining eggs.
CUT TO:
CLOSE ON - The wind-up dinosaur skitters across the polished floor. It
bands against the the wall again and again.
Timmy looks down at it and smiles at Lex.
LEX
Any candy behind the counter?
TIMMY
Hungry?
LEX
Starved.
Timmy looks behind the counter. He sees boxes of goods. He moves a
stack of umbrellas out of his way. Lex gets up and pulls one out.
TIMMY
Nothing.
LEX
Let's go to the kitchen.
She smiles and pops to her feet. Timmy's not sure.
TIMMY
Dr. Grant said -
LEX
- let's go. We'll come right back.
CLOSE ON - Timmy's torn face. He's hungry, too.
He makes the right decision.
TIMMY
Nope. We're waiting here t
ill Dr. Grant
gets back. He'll help us get some -
Interrupted by A SOUND. A rhythmic, horrible BREATHING. Now some
light and rapid STEPS. And a SNIFFING. It's definitely an animal.
Lex backs off in a hurry. She knocks the umbrella over. It skirts
across the floor. It spins and opens by itself. Printed on it is the
ferocious face of the Spitter, the sides of its bright poisonous gills
spinning to a stop.
The breathing gets closer and closer. The children huddle together in a
corner of the gift shop. They SCREAM.
It's A RAPTOR, lean and ferocious. More like a cyborg than a hunter, it
studies the kids from just outside the gift shop entrance. His eyes
flick back and forth between the two pieces of meat.
Timmy grabs the box of toy dinosaurs. He winds one up and sends it off
across the hall. The raptor glances over at the moving toy. Timmy
grabs another, whispers as he winds it.
TIMMY
Start winding now!
Lex and Timmy wind toy after toy, send th
em across the hall. The raptor
leaps, crushing one in its jaws. Others waddle by. The raptor dodges
and darts, grabbing this one, smashing that one.
The kids go running out into the hall. They race down the Visitor
Center corridor. Timmy pulls Lex behind him toward the restaurant.
LEX
Where are we going?
TIM
The kitchen!
INT/EXT HAMMOND'S QUARTERS -
With a huge leap, the raptor finally makes it to the roof of Hammond's
quarters. He jumps lightly onto the skylight. Glass shatters over the
assembled guests and workers below. Total commotion and SCREAMS.
The raptor immediately begins to gnaw at the iron bars that block the
skylight. Below, they shake off shards of glass and huddle in the
corners. Ellie turns to Muldoon.
ELLIE
How long?
MULDOON
Well, they seem to be getting faster all
the time. I would say - fifteen minutes.
Ellie no
tices something out the window. It's Grant approaching the
gate. She hammers on the glass.
Grant's hand reaches for the knob.
The raptor stops gnawing, its ears perked up.
Ellie screams and screams.
Grant notices some of Wu's remains inside the gate. He stops and looks
up. At the window, Ellie waves her arms, warning him not to enter.
Grant stops. He sees Wu's headset on the grass, reaches through the
fence, grabs it, puts it on.
Ellie jumps up and gets her headset. She barks into it.
ELLIE
There's a raptor on the roof of this
building. Open that gate and you're a
dead man.
Grant stares up at Ellie in the window. He waves. She presses her hand
to the glass.
GRANT
Ellie, I'm go glad -
ELLIE
Shut up and listen. We have about
fifteen minutes here. The computer has
to be rebooted. That'll turn on the
electric fences. Besides the r
aptor
stuck in here with us, there are four
more ...
Grant races back to the Visitor's Center as she continues to fill him in.
INT KITCHEN, VISITOR'S CENTER - CONTINUING ACTION
The kids hurtle through this huge, industrial kitchen. The kitchen is a
maze of turns, from the hot lamp pickup area to the rows of stainless
steel burners to the chopping blocks to the potwashing area. The kids
dart and duck from one area to the next, taking shortcuts under tables,
crawling behind counters, scattering pots and pans behind.
Relentlessly, with a casual speed, the raptor stalks them. It avoids
their obstacles with a casual grace and when it cannot fit through their
shortcuts, it just continues around.
Timmy pulls open the large silvered door of the freezer. Lex starts to
hurry inside. Timmy grabs her.
TIMMY
We'll freeze to death in there.
LEX
He's going to eat us!
Timmy reaches into the freezer and grabs a pile
of steaks. He tosses one
toward the raptor. The raptor gobbles it in one bite. Timmy shoves Lex
out of the way and begins to toss the steaks on the floor. One after the
other, he tosses them, in a row, closer and closer to the open freezer.
The raptor mechanically gobbles the steaks, following their path. He
continues right into the freezer to grab the last of Tim's bait.
Tim leaps and slams the heavy freezer door shut. Lex comes running and
throws her small weight alongside of Timmy's.
TIMMY
PUSH!
The heave and the lock catches on the door. From inside, there is a
strangled CRY and the door is slammed repeatedly. The metal panels of
the door buckle but they do not break. The door hinges bend and curve
but they do not give.
The kids collapse in relief on the kitchen floor. In just a moment,
Timmy is back on his feet.
LEX
What is it, Timmy?
TIMMY
I just remembered something. Rapto
rs are
born in large litters. There's probably
more coming. We gotta hide.
He grabs her hand and they run out of the back entrance of the kitchen.
There's a stairway and they race up.
INT GIFT SHOP -
Grant, wearing his headset, calls for the kids and looks around the gift
shop with concern. He sniffs the air and examines the crushed windup
toys. He sees some animal scales on the floor. He hears a NOISE above
and begins to run.
INT UPPER FLOOR HALLWAY, VISITOR'S CENTER -
The kids hear this NOISE too and it's closer to them. They bust into -
INT AMBER ROOM, LABORATORY -
The kids knock over trays of stones as they rush through this room.
INT EXTRACTION ROOM, LABORATORY -
Automated drills whir as Tim and Lex crash through, knocking equipment
to the ground. The drills still whir on the ground.
INT GENETICS ROOM -
The Hamachi-Hood sequencers explode in a heap of punch cards and
magnetic tape as the kids race by.
INT INCUBATION ROOM, LABORATORY -
The kids slide int
o this room. They race to its far corner, past
incubators and display cases of chemicals. They look back and see -
KID'S POV - A raptor happily gorging itself on a table of eggs. He's
been in this room, their place of refuge, the whole time.
CLOSE ON - The raptor's glistening eyes register the children.
He begins to stalk. The kids SCREAM. This time there is nowhere to go.
The raptor closes in on the kids. Timmy feebly stands in front of his
younger sister.
CLOSE ON - The raptor licks its lips, lizard-like.
At the other end of the room, GRANT ENTERS quickly. He surveys the
situation. Quickly, he grabs an egg off a table. He reaches into one
of the chemical cabinets with POISON WARNINGS prominently displayed. He
comes out with a syringe and a vial.
The raptor is almost on the kids. Grant coughs conspicuously. The
raptor whirls, studies Grant. He looks back at the children.
Grant speaks into the headset.
GRANT (TO RADIO)
Talk, Ellie, just keep talking.
He tosses the headset on the ground. Ellie's voice crackles out. The
raptor studies it, transfixed.
Grant injects the egg, then gently rolls it on the ground. The raptor
forgets the headset. He comes forward and sniffs the egg, then sucks it
up, swallowing it whole.
The raptor turns back to the kids. He takes two steps toward them,
tenses to pounce - and keels over. DEAD.
The kids race around the dead raptor to Grant. Grant grabs his headset
as the three run out of the room. Grant addresses Timmy as they run.
GRANT
Timmy, you know anything about computers?
TIMMY
Well, I just got an XT at home. I told
my Dad I wanted a 386.
GRANT
Ok good, you're elected.
INT CONTROL ROOM -
Grant and Tim and Lex study the quiet room. Grant speaks calmly into
his headset.
GRANT (TO RADIO)
Okay, we've reached the computer room.
Who can te
ll Timmy how to reboot?
ELLIE (OVER RADIO)
Ah, Alan, nobody here knows how to boot
the computer. Please hurry, we've only
got a couple minutes left.
GRANT
Tim, you got to book the system. They
reset the power and there are no phones.
We gotta turn on the fences and we gotta
stop that ship.
LEX
Are they going to be ok?
GRANT
If we can get help very soon.
TIMMY
Sshh, you guys, I'm thinking.
He studies a grid on a large console. He reaches out and touches a part
of the screen. There is a beep and a warning sign - INVALID ARGUMENT.
PLEASE TRY AGAIN.
BACK ON HAMMOND'S QUARTERS -
The raptor has chewed almost all the way through the bars. Panic below.
In the middle of it all, Ellie is focused, listening on her headset.
BACK ON CONTROL ROOM -
Timmy tries somethin
g else. BEEP. Lex raises a hand. Grant stops her.
GRANT (TO RADIO)
Ellie, we're working as fast as we can
here.
Timmy tries a screen section. BEEP. Again. BEEP. Again. BEEP. BEEP.
Timmy shakes his head. In desperation he stabs at the keyboard below
the touch screen. He punches the ESCAPE button.
The screen lights up a new message - SYSTEM RESET COMPLETED. ALL
SYSTEMS NORMAL.
BACK ON HAMMOND'S QUARTERS -
The raptor has just chewed through. He squeezes his body into the space
as the bars ELECTRIFY. Spastically, the raptor jerks back and forth as
the current flows through him. He can't get out.
Finally, with a WHIMPER, he stops struggling and slides through the
space he created. With a THUMP, he drops to the floor below.
Ellie, Muldoon, Hammond and the workers look on in shock.
BACK ON CONTROL ROOM -
Grant cheers and hugs Timmy. Lex whoops.
ELLIE (ON RADIO)
Ok, we're all right here for now.
Thanks.
GRANT (TO RADIO)
Don't mention it. It was Timmy.
ELLIE (ON RADIO)
But there's still one more raptor. So be
careful.
Timmy is pushing menus and submenus on the touchscreen now.
COMMUNICATIONS - RADIO - VEHICULAR ... He gets the one he wants.
He indicates the radio-mike to Grant.
TIM
I think this is the boat. They called it
the Queen Anne or something.
Grant grabs the mike.
GRANT
Queen Anne, do you read me? Queen Anne?
The radio crackles to life.
RADIO
This is the Queen Anne B? I copy.
What's up?
GRANT
Report your position!
RADIO
Ah, we're just about to dock here in
Puntaremas. Who wants to know? Please
identify yourself.
Tim punches the screen which displays FARRELL, F
REDERICK D. (CAPT.)
Grant reads it and nods. His voice is tough as nails.
GRANT
Try this for identification, Captain
Farrell. You are in possession of stolen
biological materials. If you don't turn
that boat around and return to Isla
Nublar immediately with your contraband
cargo, you will be found in violation of
Section 509 of the Uniform Maritime Act,
you will be subject to revocation of
license, penalties in excess of fifty
thousand dollars, and five years in jail.
Do you copy?
SILENCE.
GRANT
Do you copy, Captain Farrell?
RADIO
I copy. All ahead stern.
A blinking light on a map indicates that the ship is pulling away from
the harbor. Grant nods to Timmy who terminates the radio contact.
TIMMY
What's the Uniform Maritime Code?
GRANT
Who the hell knows?
Grant and Timmy start to celebrate again when Lex interrupts.
LEX
What good does that do? To have the ship
turn around?
Grant turns to her seriously.
GRANT
Well it gives us ten more hours.
(to Timmy)
Let's see if we can raise the Costa Rican
Coast Guard on that thing.
The last raptor smashes into the control room through Hammond's viewing
window. Glass goes flying. Grant and kids go running into the hallway.
INT ROTUNDA -
With the raptor in hot pursuit, the kids and Grant come flying. Tim and
Lex jump over the railing, leaping onto the skeletal display. Grant
goes for the stairs, jumping down them three at a time.
The raptor goes after the kids, scrambling over the balcony onto the
display. The kids scamper down the display, knocking paint cans and
tools off the scaffolding as they go. The raptor is just one beat
behind, and his snar
ling face is splashed with red paint as he chases.
The kids burrow into the rib cage of the Rex. They break off floating
rubs and hurl them back at the raptor. The raptor is undeterred,
closing the gap on the kids.
The kids are stuck at the end of the rib cage - it's closed off by the
skeleton and they can't break through. They're imprisoned. The raptor
is pushing through the rib cage, bones crackling as it goes.
Grant leaps up the scaffolding, grabs a beam, swings his weight onto it,
and slams it into the T-Rex's neck. The neck shatters and the massive
head of the T-Rex drops free.
It falls directly onto the last raptor, squashing him flat. Dead.
GRANT
(grimly)
And then there were none.
EXT HELICOPTER PAD - DUSK
Muldoon leads his workers onto an army helicopter. Two workers carry
Gennaro on a stretcher. Ellie boards with the kids on each side of her,
holding her hands.
Grant and Hammond walk together, toward the helicopter.
HAMMOND
Dr. Grant, don't abandon this beautiful
place. I need a man just like you to
help me get my park back on its feet
again. And it will be on its feet again.
GRANT
We have to leave now.
Hammond stops.
HAMMOND
Oh you don't know. There are wonderful
plans in the works, sites already
purchased for Euro-Jurassic and Jurassic
Japan.
Grant is unimpressed. He holds a hand out to Hammond. Hammond tries a
new approach.
HAMMOND
Don't you see I've exalted human
potential here? You must see it. You
must feel it. I called back a life form.
Listen, Dr. Grant, don't go. Be a part
of this. I'm inviting you to do just
that - let the others go, if they want.
GRANT
You interrupted natural law. There are
regulations,
rules that nature follows
that make her knowable.
HAMMOND
You mean there are rules that nature
follows that create barriers to our
knowledge.
GRANT
Barriers? Like the seasons? The earth
spinning, orbiting the sun? The entire
solar system in interlocking motion. Our
own beings in biological step with it
all. Mr. Hammond, you've disrupted the
pattern and look what it's done!
HAMMOND
I know what it's done. I've made
triceratops and gallimimus and a T-Rex.
I've got a batch of iguanadons being born
on Tuesday. What do you say to that?
GRANT
Don't count on it. Now get in.
Grant jumps in the copter, holds out a hand to Hammond.
GRANT
You created mutant forms that you further
mutated to create amus
ement attractions.
You made biological puppets with
heartbeats and an early death sentence.
HAMMOND
I created genetic miracles!
GRANT
You created a park to generate a profit-
making merchandising operation.
HAMMOND
The merchandise is just a by-product.
Souvenirs for people to reflect on the
wonder. You fainted when you saw the
brachiosaur. Alan, look, let's not
argue. The problem is that my employees
were not up to par with my dream. They
failed me. The park, I promise you, is
safe. It really is.
Grant grabs Hammond's arm, starts to tug.
GRANT
You park is doomed. Now come with me.
HAMMOND
It is not! It's blooming! In the throes
of labor! You are one more more negative
voice in a
universe of negativity.
You'll amount to nothing. You'll be a
bone-brusher all your life. I pity you.
Hammond pulls his arm away and strides away from the helicopter just as
the ROTORS START UP. Hammond's suit whips in the wind. Grant calls to
him, reaching out his arm.
GRANT
Come back, Mr. Hammond! It's over!
Hammond keeps walking. He disappears over a grassy knoll.
Grant's outstretched hand drops to his side when THE ATTACK comes.
With a huge bellow, the T-Rex comes charging at the helicopter. THE
PILOT screams for all to board as he starts to lift off.
The Rex bites onto the copter skid as the copter tries to escape. The
copter angles dangerously as the Rex holds on.
Ellie fires a fire-extinguisher into the furious face of the Rex and its
jaws relax. The copter escapes and starts to climb high into the sky.
The Rex paws after it, then drops down to four legs and gives the copter
a final swipe with its tail.
The tail SWISHES through
the air and CRACKS against the plexiglass
windshield which fissures and pops. The pilot struggles to maintain
altitude and manages to keep the craft in the air.
With a ROAR of its own, the copter breaks into the blue sky and soars.
away, leaving an angry T-Rex alone. Unnoticed by the frustrated Rex,
Hammond slips away and walks into the jungle.
IN THE COPTER -
SLOWLY PAN the exhausted faces of Muldoon and his workers, Lex and Timmy
holding onto each other, and Grant huddles next to Ellie. He reaches
out and puts an arm around her shoulder. She reaches up and pulls his
arm close.
ELLIE
They're so beautiful. They're condemned,
aren't they? Even those embryo fragments
had the same viral contamination.
GRANT
I have a theory.
Ellie looks up in surprise. She give him a big smile.
ELLIE
You have a theory?
Grant smiles back at her.
GRANT
I think that they could never completely
isolate the dinosaur DNA. There was
always some microscopic mosquito
contamination. But at the molecular
level, that was enough. Every dinosaur
received the same genetic massage, the
encoding that every mosquito gets to
terminate life after a season.
ELLIE
So the very process itself was flawed.
She's sad. Grant hugs her. Over her shoulder he gives a parting glance
to the island. A green jewel in a blue sea. Suddenly it is obliterated
by clouds.
CAMERA PANS AWAY AND SWOOPS DOWN from the copter. IT CROSSES the sky.
THE CAMERA DESCENDS to Isla Nublar, slowly reveling in its natural
beauty and finally coming to earth in the midst of the verdant jungle.
IN THE JUNGLE - MAGIC HOUR
Hammond slowly climbs a steep hill covered with creeping growth. He
almost reaches the top when he slips. He falls to the soft ground and
rolls. He tumbles he
lplessly, rolling and spinning down the sharp drop,
finally coming to a complete stop in a shallow pool of water. Face
down, his head splashes into the puddle. No movement. Just the sound of
labored breath.
CAMERA PANS to Hammond's hand, half-submerged in water. CAMERA MOVES
INTO EXTREME CLOSEUP as a mosquito lands on his hand.
RACK OUT AND DISSOLVE TO:
EXT OCEAN - NIGHT
The army copter circles lower and lower as it finds the Queen Anne B,
slowly drifting across the moonlit water.
FADE OUT.
