    1 EXT OCEAN DAY

    HAMMOND (O.S.)It all started with a dream I had.

    CUT TO

    2 EXT NUBLAR CLIFFS DAY

    The island comes into view, the waves CRASH against the side of the cliffs with a ROAR andwe instantly know this is one of the JURASSIC PARK islands.

    HAMMOND (O.S.)A place in which extinction became a thing of the past.

    A legend places us - -

    ISLA NUBLAR120 MILES WEST OF COSTA RICA

    CUT TO:

    3 INT HAMMONDS BEDROOM DAY

    JOHN HAMMOND aged since we saw him last, still with his snow white beard he lay in bedshort of breath looking at the mosquito in the roundly sculpted amber at the top of his cane.

    HAMMONDBut of course you know that already, although I havent been entirely honest with you.

    MALCOLM (O.S.)What do you mean by that John?

    The deep voice of Ian Malcolm fills the air from off screen.

    3/97

    HAMMONDIsla Nublar wasnt the first part of the Jurassic Park project.

    IAN MALCOLM still sports his all black style the only change is his grayish hair. Still lookinga million bucks.

    He sits by the old mans bed while he holds a crystal glass half full with sherry.

    MALCOLMYeah I know, the facility in San Diego--

    Hammond puts his hand up to stop Malcolm.

    HAMMONDNot even that, very little people at InGen knew of the very first part of the project, not eventhe investors.

    Malcolm looks shocked and surprised.

    MALCOLMFirst part?

    HAMMONDBack when the project was young we originally planned to build a safari park in Kenya hotclimate you see, well we built a facility and grew a few dozen species, well after almost ayear the animals had settled in and adapted to their surroundings but we had a fewproblems.

    Malcolm sits forward intrigued.

    HAMMOND (cont)Rolling black outs caused the end of the facility, at first it was fine and we could control thesituation until one day the Velociraptors chewed through the fences before we even realizedwe had a situation, although were unsure how Muldoon always suspected that they listenedto the humming when the fences were online. I myself have doubts. So we abandoned thefacility and moved completely to Isla Nublar. Nublar was also developed at the same time,also with many ranges of dinosaurs like you saw on your visit, Nublar was the holidayresort, and Kenya was the safari park.

    4/97

    MALCOLMSo you just left everything as it was?

    HAMMONDWell yes to be honest it wasnt really a concern--

    MALCOLM cuts in.

    MALCOLMSo you left these creatures in Africa where people can find this place.

    HAMMONDIan please it is totally off limits Im not going to let anyone get hurt.

    MALCOLMNo John, you just dont want your conscience hurt.

    HAMMONDNow Ian, youre being unfair--

    MALCOLM interrupts again.

    MALCOLMJohn is there a reason why youre telling me this?

    HAMMOND

    So I cant tell an old friend anything anymore?

    MALCOLMThere has to be a reason you tell me something about Jurassic Park, there always is areason you want to talk about Jurassic Park.

  • 8/8/2019 Jurassic Park 4: Dark Continent

    5/97

    HAMMONDI want you to know it wasnt just my idea--

    MALCOLMWhat? Whats not your idea?

    HAMMONDI told you before I want a documentation of these animals alive in their habitat--

    MALCOLM (horrified)

    No.

    HAMMONDAnd I want pictures to prove that they can live without human interference.

    MALCOLM stands up.

    MALCOLMWhos going?

    HAMMONDThis time safety procedures are in place--

    MALCOLMWho did you send to die John?

    HAMMOND lies in his bed and lets out a big SIGH.

    HAMMONDTheres a group of wildlife photographers I contacted, who documented animals in Africa--

  • 8/8/2019 Jurassic Park 4: Dark Continent

    6/97

    MALCOLMWhat are their names?

    HAMMONDLets see--

    HAMMOND searchs through some folders by his side and lifts out a slip of paper.

    HAMMOND (cont)Alec Simpson, Derrick Williams, Julia Miller and last but by no means least Lex.

    MALCOLM stands still looking stunned and perplexed.

    MALCOLMYou sent your granddaughter to that place?

    HAMMONDIan Im not stupid, shes safe I have arranged a group of rangers that work to keep theplace safe to go along with the group, Ian their fine trust me on this one.

    MALCOLM walks towards HAMMOND.

    MALCOLMJohn youve done this before with me in this room when you sent my wife to an island full ofdinosaurs, I cant believe youre doing it again but this time with your own granddaughter.

    HAMMOND

    Shes fine Ian. Shes done this before, they all work together, Ian please trust me sheknows what shes doing and so do the team I sent.

    There is a silence for a second then MALCOLM sits down next to HAMMOND.

    MALCOLMHow much did you pay for this group of rangers?

    HAMMOND smiles like a cheeky young lad.

    HAMMOND

    I spared no expense.

    4 EXT JUNGLE NIGHT

    A dark mysterious setting that is the jungle at night reeks of fear and a dark force that isunseen but lurking in the midst.

    The call of local workers filled the air their native tongue being spoken, a tall man, fortys,British (HENRY ASQUITH but we dont know that yet) stood away from the group ofworkers, like a foreman, reminding us of Robert Muldoon.

    ASQUITHQuiet!

    The man SNAPPED orders and they were translated by an interpreter who was standingnext to ASQUTIH.

    A RUMBLE fills the air as a LARGE truck BURSTS through the thick jungle.

    The workers unload what looks like food crates and they are taken into a loading bay at theback of a large building.

    ASQUITHQuicker!

    The man stood there with a SPAS-12 over his shoulder as his orders were translated intothe native tongue of the workers.

    A LOUD DEEP ROAR comes from the jungle, a roar that seems familiar and modern to us

    but it seems BIG, everyone looks in the direction of the ROAR.

    ASQUITHCarry on.

    Asquith stands there, now with gun in hand looking around him as the workers begin tocarry on with unloading the crates.

  • 8/8/2019 Jurassic Park 4: Dark Continent

    8/97

    There is now a sense of urgency within the atmosphere.

    There is another ROAR and a worker is PUSHED to the ground and DRAGGED into the junglewhile letting out a LOUD SCREAM.

    ROARS and GROWLS come from all around.

    Workers begin RUNNING towards the truck.

    SCREAMS and CRIES of workers being DRAGGED away into the dark unknown jungle fill theair.

    Asquith STEPS into the cab of the truck.

    Surviving and injured workers pile in the back.

    Asquith starts to DRIVE the truck into the jungle.

    A RIP fills the air followed by SCREAMS of the workers in the back.

    CLOSE UP

    Three LARGE SLASHES are in the side of the cover that drapes over the frame of the truck.

    The truck DRIVES away into the jungle followed by a LARGE ROARS from the attackers.

    There is a pause.

    A soft quite SHRIEK of a Raptor comes from off screen as they both remember.

    TIMI still remember you covered in Brachiosaur snot.

    Lex pulls a face.

    LEXShut up Tim.

    Tim sips his coffee.

    6 INT HOSPITAL NIGHT

    A local city hospital, quiet apart from the rain BEATING off of the windows and the CRACK ofthe thunder from the storm outside, it seemed almost eerie as everything was quite.

    A female doctor is walking down a hallway, she was writing on a clip board.

    DR RACHEL SOUZA, mid twenties, her hair was shoulder length and black, her Latino looksshow that she isnt native to the African city she works in.

    She walks over to the coffee machine and inserts money into it, she places a cup under thenozzle and presses a button and waits as the machine WHIRRELS as it starts up, coffeepours into the polystyrene cup, it stops.

    7 INT OFFICE NIGHT

    The light comes on and the coffee cup is placed on an untidy desk, Rachel slumps down onher chair with another sigh and spins on her chair slowly.

    There is a faint ROAR in the distance coming from outside.

    The ROAR gets closer.

    Its the sound of a chopper approaching.

    Rachel looks out the window.

    RACHELS P.O.V

    We see bright red, blue and white lights in the sky, the sound is now recognizable.

    REGISIs he going to be ok?

    Rachel gets her camera out of a draw as Regis is escorted out by one of the nurses.

    She takes pictures of the wounds.

    The man bolts straight up, vomits blood and begins fitting violently.

    SOUZAMarcus!

    The nurse comes in the room as the man falls to the floor fitting, his eyes roll back in hishead, the man vomits again.

    The man stops.

    The surrounding area is completely different from what is seen before the jeeps enter thepark, there is lush greenery around, there is a flowing river, a jungle, this place is like aparadise, unlike the area 51 type place outside of the gates.

    25 JEEP

    SIMPSONDidnt expect this

    The group in the second JEEP look STUNNED and AMAZED that in the vast wasteland, aplace like this exists. It seems a dream, unreal, like a mirage.

    Julia has her CAMERA out and she is already taking pictures of the lush greenery and theflowing river, Lex sat there with a smile on her face and the wind blowing through her hair,she isnt nervous, worried or even showing any sign of panic, In fact she is excited, shewants to get stuck in and get close with the creatures of her grandfathers dreams for thesecond time.

    Alec and Julia are out of the jeep first with their cameras, CLICKING and SNAPPING photosof the herbivores that are in front of them, Lex walks out of the jeep with a smile on herface as she walks past a very shocked Derrick who is standing there his jaw slightlydropped.

    With a ROAR the jeeps move through the open fields, the grass is a lush healthy green,unusual for Africa, this place seems more like Nublar and Sorna then an African desert, tothe left of the passing jeeps is a group of grazing Stegosaurus.

    MILLERLook, look over there.

    Julia is full of excitement as she SNAPs pictures of the grazing herd.

    Gasps of excitement and shock come from the second jeep, Asquith drives on following hismen who are in the first car.

    28 EXT OPEN FIELD DAY

    The jeep HALTS to a stop.

    ASQUITHWelcome to your accommodations.

    26/97

    LEXYeah seeing dinosaurs for the first time does give someone that feeling.

    WILLIAMSNot about the dinosaurs, this caravan, hot and cold running water and everything.

    Everyone just shakes their head.

    Over in the other caravan, everything seems more high tech; VITO and ASQUITH aretalking by a computer.

    ASQUITHHow are they?

    VITOFrom what limited contact weve had, there fine.

    ASQUITH

    Anything I should know about?

    28/97

    Julia has her camera in her hand.

    LEXSo, Henry how often do you come into the Park?

    Asquith has his eyes fixed in front of him still.

    ASQUITHIf I need to then I will, but I do try and prolong my absence from this, place.

    WILLIAMSOh great, were in a place the game warden dont even want to be in, he works here for godsake.

    Asquith has a fixed stare ahead of him still.

    ASQUITHIf you have been here for as many years I have then you would understand, for someonelike you, you wouldnt last that long.

    Derrick was stunned into silence.

    MILLERThats twice Derrick has been speechless today.

    ASQUITH points out a LARGE herd of Corythosaurus and Parasaurolophus that are grazingto the right of the jeeps.

    Julia, Alec and Derrick are all taking photos with their professional cameras while Lex isrecording with her camcorder.

    ASQUITH

    Stay here.

    Asquith walks forward into the bush.

    Vito leads the armed group a few paces behind him.

    Asquith bends down.He is bent over the carcass of a fully grown Parasaurolophus, the carcass has been tore intobits and there are bits all around the area.

    VITOFresh?

    Asquith is poking bits about with a stick.

    ASQUITHAbout 12 hours maybe more, has been picked at by whatever passed by.

    VITOWas it Raptors?

    Asquith pulls out what looks like a giant cat claw.

    ASQUITHNope.

    Asquith holds the claw up to Vito and the rest of his men.

    ASQUITHWe should keep moving.

    There is a rustling in the distance and the sound of birds flying away.

    The armed group looks around their shoulders.

  • 8/8/2019 Jurassic Park 4: Dark Continent

    30/97

    ASQUITHBack to the cars, now.

    The group head back to their jeep and Asquith gets back into the first jeep.

    LEXWhat was the hold up?

    31/97

    cushions and all the material ripped and torn apart, there is leafs on the floor and plantsgrowing from under the floor tiles.

    LEXWhat is this place?

    ASQUITHIt was a research centre we had before things went wrong.

    WILLIAMSSo were camping out there in caravans with dinosaurs when there is a nice safe buildinghere?

    ASQUITHThis building is far from safe; there could be anything on any of the floors here.

    MILLERHow many floors are there?

    ASQUITHFour in all.

    The group finds an elevator, Asquith gets out a lift key and calls the lift down, the groupgets in.

    38 HALLWAY

    The group step out the lift and head down a very dark hallway.

    ASQUITHJacob, Idris go and check on ahead.

    32/97

    ASQUITH

    Well recently we have been running a research project, so we are here to see how thingsare going on.

    The group walks on through the hallway.

    VITOJacob? Idris? All clear?

    There was an unwelcome silence.

    Vito looks at Asquith.

    IDRISClear!

    There was a soft sigh of relief.

    The group walks down the hallway towards a door.

    39 RESEARCH ROOM

    The group walk into a room, a woman in shorts and a white shirt stands in the room (KellyMarshall but we dont know it yet) , she is beautiful, she has her shiny brunet hair bunched

    in a ponytail.

    MARSHALLGood afternoon Henry.

    Kelly looks up from her clipboard.

    ASQUITHHello Kelly, ladies and gentlemen let me introduce Dr Kelly Marshall.

    Kelly smiles and nods to the group.

    ASQUITHShe is one of InGens top research scientists.

    MARSHALLNow come on Henry, lets not go too far.

  • 8/8/2019 Jurassic Park 4: Dark Continent

    33/97

    A man comes in from another room, we recognize him from earlier.

    Vito steps forward.

    VITO

    And this is Santiago Oliveira, the biggest son of a bitch you will ever meet.

    OLIVEIRAThat may be true but at least I dont have--

    VITOThats enough.

    Henry sits down in front of her.

    ASQUITHThank you, so tell me the bad news.

    MARSHALLWell, where do I start, well the Velociraptors are the same as ever extremely smart anddeadly, the larger carnivores are as scary as hell and the Smilidons are on a blood thirstyrage for unknown reasons.

  • 8/8/2019 Jurassic Park 4: Dark Continent

    34/97

    ASQUITHThat could explain this then.

    Henry takes out the claw he had in his pocket and places it on the table.

    Kelly picks it up.

    MARSHALLWhere did you get this?

    ASQUITHLodged into the carcass of a Parasaurolophus in the jungle.

    MARSHALLThere killing whatever they can when they can.

    ASQUITHWhat about their territory? Still the same?

    MARSHALLYes, still the same.

    Kelly stands up and walks towards an open window.

    MARSHALLYou have to get them out of here Henry.

    ASQUITHYou have your orders and so do I.

    MARSHALLFor once can you forget about orders? Peoples lives are at risk here not just your men butthe civilians that are with you.

    Lex stops walking.

    Julia looks back.

    MILLERWhats wrong Lex?

    LEXListen.

    Inhuman SCREAMS fill the air as the group run, it is now clear to us what the group isrunning from.

    VITOMove move move!

    The SHRIEKS sound closer and closer each time.

    The group gets to the elevator.

    Asquith looks for the elevator key.

    The group gets into the elevator.

    There is a very close LOUD SCREAM as the elevator doors close.

    45 ELEVATOR

    The group is standing in the lift panting.

    WILLIAMSWhat was that?

    38/97

    WILLIAMSOk just so were all clear, there the bad guys correct?

    Nobody bothers to answer Derrick.

    LEXHow many packs are there?

    ASQUITHWe have no idea, we lost count a long time ago, thats why we set up a research programevery so often.

    The elevator doors open. Asquiths men lead the way fully armed.

    46 HALLWAY

    The group gasp in amazement and get out with their cameras.

    55 EXT JUNGLE DAY

    Lex and Julia climb on the roof of their jeep and begin taking pictures.

    Alec and Derrick are both standing next to the first jeep taking pictures.

    SIMPSONThis is brilliant.

    WILLIAMSIm taking pictures of real life dinosaurs.

    Derrick laughs to himself.

    WILLIAMS (contd)Im dreaming, I am, this is a dream and I will wake up any second.

  • 8/8/2019 Jurassic Park 4: Dark Continent

    40/97

    ASQUITH

    This is no dream and those animals are dangerous.

    The Triceratops pass by the group without any reaction.

    The last Triceratops in the herd clears the path for the jeeps.

    MILLERThat was amazing.

    LEXNo matter how many times you say to yourself youve seen what real dinosaurs look likeseeing them again makes it so much better.

    SIMPSON(To Asquith)

    Can we follow them?

    ASQUITHIt would be best if we dont; we cant be sure what theyre walking into.

    VITOI could take Olveira and Rich with me and we could take a look sir.

    Everyone looks at Asquith.

    ASQUITHBe quick.

    VITOYes sir.

    Vito, Olveira and Rich grab their weapons from their jeep.

    ASQUITHIf something doesnt seem right come back and well move on.

    Vito, Rich and Olveira walk into the jungle.

    WILLIAMS

    Im sure if there was something that the Triceratops would be running back this way.

    LEXShut up, Derrick.

    There is a pause as everyone looks into the jungle.

    The groups get into their JEEPS

    58 EXT JUNGLE DAY

    The jeeps DRIVE down the jungle road.

    59 JEEP

    LEXWhat happened to this place Henry?

    ASQUITHWell before any idea of an island your grandfather wanted to build his dream inland, there

    was many locations worldwide that InGen planned to build their resorts.

    The group sits in the car listening to Asquith, he goes on.

    ASQUITHFirst place planned was San Diego, but the idea was scrapped due to the climate of theanimals, Hammond didnt feel it was prehistoric enough, so then in 1983 he choose thisplace, everything was set, the fences where up, the facilities where ready for visitors, welldue to the location we had a lot of problem with the power.

    WILLIAMS

    What do you mean due to the location?

    ASQUITHWell, were in the middle of Africa, anyway, we had a lot of blackouts with the power andthey became frequent and longer lasting, well it wasnt long before the dinosaurs workedthings out, the broke out and we had to abandon this place.

    WILLIAMSWhy didnt this place get dismantled once InGen left?

    ASQUITHThis land was bought by InGen on a permanent contract, so InGen can do what they want

    with the land so as far as the UN know this is a research facility.

    60 EXT HILLTOP DAY

    The jeeps leave the jungle and follow the road up to the grassy hilltops.

    The jeeps halt to a stop.

    ASQUITH

    43/97

    Well have a 15 minute break then carry on.

    The group get out of their jeeps.

    WILLIAMSCould we tour the park in a day?

    ASQUITHWell if everything was where it was yes but now everything is messed up and by Mr.Hammonds list of what he wants, no, no we cant.

    The group stands around the jeep.

    MILLERGod, Im hungry.

    Oliveira look over at the group.

    OLIVEIRAWould you like lunch?

    WILLIAMSWe have food?

    OLIVEIRAOf course.

    Oliveria hands out sandwiches to everyone.

    Vito walks over to look out to the distance eating his sandwich.

    Vito slowly lowers his sandwich and turns round.

    VITOExcuse me.

    Everyone looks at him.

    VITO (contd)You might want to bring your cameras over here.

    Alec and Derrick grab their camera bags and walk over to where Vito is standing.

    SIMPSON(Stunned)

    My god.

    LEX and JULIA walk over.

    Thats what grandpa wants.

    The group sees the lake in the distance, the big herd of Parasaurolophus and Corythosaurusgrazing around the lake, long necks of Brachiosaurs lift up from out of the lake.

    Alec and Derrick SNAP shots of the beautiful scene that is unfolding in front of them.

    The survivors of the attack are wondering the jungle in search of the camp.

    SIMPSONCan we stop for a second?

    There is a sense of worry and panic in his tone of voice.

    VITORun!

    Vito begins to run and the others are close behind him.

    The hooting gets louder as the men run into the dark wet jungle.

    WILLIAMSRun, must run.

    Derrick and Alec are running next to each other.

    WILLAIMSAlec runs faster.

    SIMPSONIm running as fast as I can.

    The group runs down a muddy slop running by a stream.

    OLVIERARun over the other side and up the slop--

    Santiago stops running and stands still with a look of terror on his face.

    There standing a couple of feet in front of him stands a huge Smilodon .

    OLVIERA (to himself)Shit.

    The rest of the group notices the large toothed killer.

    They all scream.

    The large prehistoric cat BELLOWS a loud ROAR.

    They start to run towards the other side when another Smilodon reveals itself from thevegetationand ROAR.

    Another two come out of the bushes to surround the group, the pride of Smilodons circlethe group.

    Vito and Olviera raise their weapons when hooting fills the air, the Smilodons look aroundthe area.

    Two LARGE Dilophosaurus BURST out of the trees and ROAR at the large cats, challengingthem in their territory.

  • 8/8/2019 Jurassic Park 4: Dark Continent

    56/97

    The humans are now stuck between a conflict.

    Alec runs through a opening, he is followed by Derrick, a bold Smilodon pounces in front ofthem, Olviera shoves them both out the way and is struck by the giant paw of theprehistoric cat. He is sent flying to the ground.

    Vito drags the two men off their backsides and he looks at Santiago.

    VITO (shouting)Santiago!

    Olviera waves his hand up.

    OLVIERAIm fine, go.

    VITOIm not leaving you.

    Olviera shouts demandingly.

    OLVIERAI got this.

    Vito nods to his friend who gives a nod back and the three men run off away from theconflict leaving Olviera struggling to find his feet, he is knocked down again. The Smilodonis toying with him.

    With a final ROAR and a giant slash of its claws the Smilodon kills Olviera.

    The spitters rattle their frills as they spit venom, one Smilodon is hit in one eye, it YELPS inpain, the fellow members of the pride pounce on the Dilophosaurs, the spitters bite hard ontheir attackers, the large cats ripping into the spitters.

    Think about it, if InGen had the same animals at every Park be it a resort or a safari itwould be boring so they would lose money because once you seen one set of the sameanimal its not the same if you see it again somewhere else no matter if it is a dinosaur.

    WILLIAMSSo InGen have more dinosaurs than first thought?

    ASQUITHYep.

    LEXHow many different animals?

    ASQUITHWere not going to leave them, we are staying on track and we will see how many we haveleft if we make it back alive.

    Simpson is looking at Asquith and Vito talking.

    SIMPSONI wonder what their talking about.

    Henry is probably talking to Vito about how he is going to kill Derrick.

    Everyone but Derrick laughs.

    Derrick just looks at Julia.WILLIAMS (droll tone)

    Ha ha ha no.

    Asquith and Vito walk back over to the group.

    ASQUITHOk, time to get back to walking.

    The group stands up, pick up their guns and carry on waking.

    101 EXT RIVER BANK DAY

    The group is walking along the sandy river bank.

    Vito puts his arm across to stop everyone.

    ASQUITHWhat is it?

    VITO (pointing)Over there look.

    A large tail is lying on the sand; the tail belongs to a carnivore.

    Asquith readies his gun.

    ASQUITHGuns at the ready.

    The others also ready with their guns.

    The group move behind a large cluster of bushes for cover.

    The tail begins to lift in the air.

    The beast is standing up.

    It is a young Tyrannosaurus, small compared to the size of a Rex but still big enough to kill.

    The young Rex moves towards the lake and begins to lap up gulps of water.

    Out of the trees ahead comes a low almost SQUAWKING noise.

    It got the young Rexs attention; the youthful killer spins its head around to see a large long

    77/97

    necked feathered creature walking on two legs with large dagger like claws on each hand.Therizinosaurus.

    The Therizinosaurus walks towards the young Rex with its arms spread wide making it lookwider then it is. The Rex ROARs and stands its ground.

    The group still behind the cover of the bushes looks on.

    The Therizinosaurus SQUAKs again towards the young Rex.

    The Rex ROARs back; it is having none of it.

    The two dinosaurs continued to exchange roars with each other, neither backing down.

    WILLIAMS (quite tone)Whats the turkey giraffe called?

    VITO (quite tone)Therizinosaurus.

    ASQUITH (quite & demanding tone)Quite!

    The two dinosaurs begin to walk towards each other still exchanging battle cries.

    The Rex goes for a cheeky snap at the neck of the feathery challenger but misses.

    The Therizinosaurus swings its large claws towards the Rex, also missing.

    The Rex walks towards the Therizinosaurus making it back up near the river.

    With another loud ROAR the Rex CHARGEs forwards towards the Therizinosaurus.

    A thunderous ROAR emerges from the river! Large pair of jaws SNAP around theTherizinosaurus.

    The Rex HAULTS to a stop.

    Out of the GUSHING water comes a giant prehistoric crocodile. Sarchosuchus.

    The giant crocodile drags the Therizinosaurus into the river.

    The group is stunned about what just happened.

    The Rex tilts its head as it watches on.

    The Therizinosaurus is locked in the death roll.

    The Sarchosuchus keeps spinning its prey around under the water, the blue water is nowbeing filled with blood as the Therizinosaurus lets out one last SQWAUK and sinks under thewater.

    The Rex walks away in a smug ill deserved sense of victory and confidence.

    78/97

    The Rex has won the fight out of the two animals.

    The Rex returns to the jungle.

    The carcass of the Therizinosaurus is being ripped apart by a swarm of Sarchosuchus.

    WILLIAMS (shocked)That--was exciting.

    SIMPSONAmazing.

    ASQUITHYes, wonderful now if we dont hurry that could be us very soon.

    WILLIAMSIm not going into the water so I doubt it.

    VITOThey come on land as well you know.

    WILLIAMSLets go.

    102 EXT RIVER BANK DAY

    The group is walking down the sandy bank.

    The bank is getting narrower.

    ASQUITHI think we may have to walk through the jungle for a while.

    LEXWhy?

    Asquith points towards the narrowing bank.

    ASQUITHWith the Sarchosuchus in the water it will be too risky to go across it.

    WILLIAMSI have no intention of becoming what not chow thank you very much.

    The group move towards the jungle.

    ASQUITHGuns up and keep your eyes peeled.

    The group enters the jungle.

    The lush jungle is filled with the calls of creatures that once owned the planet fills the air.

    It is a beautiful song.

    MILLERMy gosh, whats that?

    ASQUITHThe Brachiosaur song.

    MILLERIts beautiful.

    VITOIsnt it just.

    As the group walk towards the prehistoric balled the bushes reveal the beauty that lies inthe heart of the deadly jungle. A herd of Brachiosaurus are gathered in a wide open areafeeding off the tree tops.

    SIMPSONMy god their amazing.

    WILLIAMSI-I--wow.

    Williams is speechless.

    LEXNot so nice when you get sneezed on by one though.

    Derrick looks at her.

    WILLIAMSYouve been sneezed on by a dinosaur?

    LEXYep.

    Lex walks towards the tree the others are.

    WILLIAMSThere is so much I dont know about you.

    The song stops and the Brachiosaurus begin to get into a formation.

    MILLERWhats going on?

    WILLIAMSDid they see us?

    ASQUITHThat wouldnt cause a problem if they did, something else spooked them.

    Asquith and Vito are looking around trying to find what spooked the Brachiosaurus.

    VITOCan you see anything Henry?

    ASQUITHNot yet.

    Lex points into the Brachiosaurs formation.

    LEXThere!

    A pack of Gigantosarus BURST out of the trees towards the middle of the herd. The largestGiganotsaurus snaps its jaws against the side of a smaller Brachiosaur ripping flesh off theside of the giant animal.

    ASQUITHThat way, quick.

    The group begins to run around the side of the battle.

    The pack of Gigantosaurus pick out a young Brachiosaurus, they begin to bite and rip fleshoff the side of the young long neck.

    The Giganotsaurus are too busy to realize that the elder and stronger members of theBrachiosaurus move to help the younger member of their herd.

    The Gigantosaurus looked around as the Brachiosaurs lift their front legs off the ground andstart to slam them into the ground causing large vibrations, The Gigantosaurus becameintimidated by the large herbivores, the Giganotsaurs ROARE trying to gain back the fear inthe Brachiosaur camp but it fails, the Gigantosaurs run off back into the jungle.

    into a sandy floored compound. The compound is surrounded by once electrified fencing.

    Everyone stops running and try to gain their breath.

    LEX (panting)What--What is this place?

    Asquith regains his breath fast.

    VITOAnd cause a pointless amount of noise?

    WILLIAMSYeah youre right. Stupid idea. Silly Alec.

    Everyone looks round at Derrick.

    WILLIAMSSo how are we going to get in?

    VITOThere should be another entrance round the side. We could try that.

    ASQUITH

    Good idea.

    WILLIAMSWhat if thats locked?

    VITOThen, and only then we shoot the door.

    WILLIAMS (to himself)Its a dream, it really is a dream. Im going to wake up to a nice looking woman next to meand forget all about this over a bowl of cereals and cup of coffee.

    108 INT HOLDING ROOM DAY

    Asquith and Vito raise their guns and go through the door first; Vito turns the light on, andslowly all the lights come on revealing rows and rows of holding cages. There is a foul smellin the air; the cages contain the remains of various dead and rotting animals. Flies andmany other insects are buzzing around in the room.

    ASQUITHAll clear. But hold your noses.

    The others come in and instantly smell the foul odor of death in the air.

    SIMPSONMy life.

    VITOAnytime.

    Vito walks back over to Henry.

    VITOTheres a door over there.

    Vito walks over to a door and opens it.

    A human skeleton falls on Vito.

    VITO (screaming)Shit!

    Vito falls onto his back with the skeleton on top of him.

    The skeleton is wearing an InGen lab coat, a torn bloody shirt and torn trousers.

    Asquith removes the skeleton off of Vito and helps him up.

    VITO (nodding)

    Thanks.

    ASQUITHIf that was anything else you would have been dead by now.

    VITOI know, I messed up.

    ASQUITHNext time it could be the last thing you do, just be on your guard all the time.

    were left, the group walked into the room with their guns at the ready, the containers arejust like the ones on Isla Nublar, but these ones dont have any lights on or icy mist comingfrom them, these have not been used in a very long time, the names of the dinosaurs canstill be seen on the side.

    CUT TO

    Close up to one of the containers, the names of what it used to keep cool are still on the topof each row of the rack, we see a few of the labels. VELOCIRAPTOR----BRACHIOSAURUS----GIGANTOSAURUS.

    SIMPSONLook at the names.

    Williams picks up one of the slides from one of the racks.

    WILLIAMS

    Is this where they kept the embryos?

    ASQUITHYep. Or as Hammond liked to put it the very origins of Jurassic Park.

    Lex walks down a spiral staircase which leads into another section.

    MILLERLook over here Lex.

    Small tables of eggs are placed around the room; the robotic arm stays still, Lex is lookingat some of the baby skeletons that litter the small artificial nests.

    SIMPSON (O.S.)Sad isnt it.

    Lex looks round to see Alec walking over to her.

    LEXYeah, poor things didnt see much of the world.

    The rest of the group comes down the staircase.

    A glass case full of green fluid is on the wall, inside is a half open egg and inside the eggwas a Raptor embryo.

    LEXWhy was they tested on like this?

    ASQUITHThis place and the lab on Isla Sorna were the first labs to breed dinosaurs so of course therewas going to be some testing to see how the growth process happened in the egg.

    SIMPSONWhat about the lab on Nublar?

    ASQUITHWhat about it?

    SIMPSONDidnt they do tests like this?

    ASQUITHNo need to when they have already done them here. Sorna was the first lab, thosedinosaurs were bred for the Park on Nublar, here we grew our own dinosaurs and watchedthem grow up in the environment here, and while S
