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 brother. 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 THORN’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
brake 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!
CUT TO:
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 are not?
CUT TO:
15 EXT. COSTA RICA – BRIGHT DAY 15
The TURBOPROP PLANE hovers above the landscape of trees.
It slices through the air like a knife through butter.
CUT TO:
16 INT. PLANE – DIM 16
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!
CUT TO:
17 EXT. COSTA RICA – BRIGHT DAY 17
The PLANE descends a little above the trees.
CUT TO:
18 INT. MALCOLM’S OFFICE – DARK 18
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 early 20’s 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 exctinction.
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.
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.
