Dawn of Extinction: Jurassic Park (Part10) By Carnotaur3
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.
