Dawn of Extinction: Jurassic Park (Part7)
By Carnotaur3
76 EXT. PLAIN OF DINOSAURS – DAWN 76
Up ahead all the IGUANODONS lay down to their nests and
started to sleep as the last little bit of a sun beam
descended behind the low trees.
FADE TO:
77 EXT. TREE – MORNING 77
We focus in on a single tree limb, zooming back until
something hits it. It’s THORNE and he not only hits it
but almost falls off. He grabs it just before his hands
couldn’t grab on anymore.
He grunts. LAURIE and ARBY hear him and look down at
his dangling body. He gives out a smirk.
THORNE
I guess my sleeping body forgot I
was in a tree.
He climbs down to the ground.
LAURIE
Where are you going?
THORNE
We haven’t a second to loose. We need
to trek back up to the tree house.
ARBY
Will Dr. Malcolm still be there.
THORNE
I hope so, Arb.
LAURIE and ARBY start to climb down.
CUT TO:
78 EXT. BELOW TREE HOUSE – MORNING 78
MALCOLM and REGIS load their stuff in the back of
the AZTEK. REGIS throws the keys to MALCOLM as he
opens the driver’s door.
VOICE
Enough room for one more?
They both turn around to see LEVINE with all his
stuff in his pack, which is around his shoulder.
LEVINE
If it’s not too much trouble.
79 EXT. JUNGLE – MORNING 79
THORNE hands a canteen out from his bag and hands it to
ARBY and LAURIE.
ARBY
Oh, Jack, where did you get it?
THORNE
Snagged it out of the car before we
got out.
ARBY engulfs the canteen but leaves enough for LAURIE.
THORNE (cont’d)
I sure hope we are going the right
way.
ARBY
It has to be…doesn’t it?
A low groan makes them stop dead in their tracks. Dozens
of heads pop up from the very high grass. They hadn’t
noticed that PACHYCEHPHOLOSAURS were sleeping in the
grass. They were standing about night feet high and 12
feet long. They looked at the humans and, assuming them
to be no threat, walked off without fear.
ARBY
Oh, those are ram dinos.
LAURIE
What?
THORNE
Doesn’t matter. Come on.
THORNE looks at his watch: 9:12 A.M.
They continue to move through the foliage in front of
them passing the PACHYCEPHOLOSAURS in the process.
CUT TO:
80 INT. CAR – NOON 80
REGIS looks at his watch also as the vehicle bounces up
and down.
REGIS
It’s 12:20.
MALCOLM
Go ahead and check the sat phone,
Reg.
He jumps to the back to retrieve the satellite phone.
LEVINE
I brought some food and water if
anybody needs some.
MALCOLM
Maybe later, Richard.
LEVINE looks up ahead and sees something in the mud.
LEVINE
Stop the car, Ian.
MALCOLM stalls the car in front of the subject. Quickly,
LEVINE jumps out of the car.
CUT TO:
81 EXT. JUNGLE – NOON 81
LEVINE walks over to shoe prints and a large three-toed
carnivore foot print and points to them.
LEVINE
They are alive.
MALCOLM stands with his hands on his hips and looks over
to the right. Before his is the river; in the middle a
torn to shreds AZTEK.
MALCOLM
I’ll be damned. They were definitely
in trouble. I think, if my classes
are fresh in mind, that this is the
track of a large Theropod.
LEVINE
It’s the same kind of track I found
with Diego.
MALCOLM
Where were you guys when the attack
Happened?
LEVINE
We were both preparing to climb a
rock face, we had the cables already
hooked, stabilized. Then, something
came out of nowhere and I ran off
into the jungle, leaving behind
Diego. Poor man, he hadn’t had a
chance.
MALCOLM nodded. REGIS comes out of the AZTEK.
REGIS
Battery’s dead.
MALCOLM
What?
REGIS
It didn’t turn off when we last had
it.
MALCOLM
Looks like we are gonna be waiting
another day.
REGIS
We needed more time anyway,
Dr. Malcolm.
LEVINE
We need to follow those prints.
MALCOLM and the others jump into the car and it
speeds off following the tracks.
CUT TO:
82 EXT. JUNGLE – DAY 82
THORNE pushes away some leaves to reveal a nice stream.
Its glistening flow attracts his attention at one and
he slams his head into the cold liquid. ARBY watched from a farther distance with LAURIE.
He, then, takes the canteen from his neck and scoops
water into the hole. A very dark figure appears in the
water and he jumps back as a long snout pops up. It
snarls at him and squeaks. With a long neck and blue
body, this scavenger does a defensive scream at him
and THORNE jumps back some more giving it room. The
dinosaur is not a dinosaur, but is a TANYSTROPHEUS. It
looks into the water and starts to hunt for fish.
THORNE gulps as another threatening looking creature
comes into view. It is a molten brown with yellow
strips from its back to its belly. It’s crocodilian
head searches into the stream and with its thick clawed
thumb it quickly slashes at an oncoming fish and pulls
it out, squirming with the claw stuck in the body of the
fish. It chews it up good and just stares at THORNE,
then goes back at searching. This is a BARYNOYX and
it’s not mare than 6 feet long and 5 in a half feet
tall.
THORNE walks back to the others.
THORNE
Ok let’s go.
He hands the canteen to LAURIE.
As they begin to walk out of the area they here the
faintest sound of a large foot hitting the ground.
THORNE stops to listen.
ARBY
What is it?
They begin to look back at a puddle nearby. Small
circles form in it with each sound of a thump, like it’s
cued.
THORNE
Run!
They sprint off, with the animals also going in other
directions simultaneously.
The thick leaves make it hard to see as they begin to
run faster.
Soon enough a TYRANNOSAURS appears behind them,
breathing behind their necks.
THORNE (cont’d)
Split up…now.
ARBY and LAURIE run the other way while THORNE keeps
running the same straight.
The TYRANNOSAUR is now 5 feet behind him. He jumps into
the long grass in front of him, which was at a height
of 3 feet.
He lays silent in there. The TYRANNOSAUR stops and
looks around, with stupidity, it had lost its prey and
is now agitated.
Frustrated, it roars in disgust. It looks around
cautiously and then quickly find THORNE crawling on the
muddy ground. It bellows after him. All is going into
chaos when THORNE accidentally falls onto a young
TRICERATOPS. It sequels like a pig and the TYRANNOSAURS
gets confused. THORNE dodges the oncoming mother TRIKE
which was heading his way at a great speed. Thinking it was
the REX that had come after the young one, the MOTHER
TRICERATOPS swung its spikes into the air trying to
injure the carnivore.
The TYRANNOSAUR rears back and stamps its foot between
the two spikes, on top of the frill. Another TRICERATOPS
comes into view and slams its spikes into the
TRYANNOSAUR’S right leg. Blood falls to the ground.
THORNE runs out of the area and with LAURIE and ARBY,
who are waiting at the other end.
The TYRANNOSAUR cries in pain.
CUT TO:
83 INT. CAR – STORMY 83
Thunder breaks the intense scene of the TYRANNOSAUR and
calms us down a bit. We are soon introduced back to
MALCOLM, REGIS, and LEVINE. The rain pounds on the
windshield as they drive through the jungle.
MALCOLM
So, Richard, what have you learned of
the raptors?
LEVINE
Dr. Grant’s book about them says that
they were only pack hunters…but I found
that to be false.
MALCOLM
How so?
LEVINE
First off, they were bread without a
leader or adult, they had to fend for
themselves in their own way. That
means that their behaviour could
different than when they were really
alive during the cretaceous. Second,
I saw that when they find something
by themselves they’ll go for it and,
like humans, keep it from the group.
MALCOLM
Like, every raptor for himself.
LEVINE
Only when one is hunting alone.
MALCOLM
Oh…
CUT TO:
84 EXT. JUNGLE – STORMY 84
ARBY
I don’t feel good.
ARBY falls to the mud, breathing heavily; the rain
pattering his face.
THORNE rushes to his aid.
THORNE
Arby…Arby!
THORNE hold his body in his arms. LAURIE run to them.
LAURIE
What’s going on?
ARBY’S body goes into convulsions.
THORNE
Oh, God. He’s having a seizure.
THORNE shakes him and pounds his chest.
THORNE (cont’d)
Breath, damn it, breath!
LAURIE
Oh, my God, help him. God, please
help him.
Suddenly, a snorting sound enters their ears. A
raptor 10 yards away appears before them. THORNE,
terrified, takes ARBY and runs to a tree, LAURIE
following close behind.
THORNE
Damn it. Breath, Arby!
The raptor looks around, sniffs the air.
ARBY suddenly gasps and his body relaxes.
LAURIE
Thank God.
The raptor up ahead shakes it’s body from the rain and
continues onward, snatching up a scurrying creature in
the process.
THORNE
I love you, Arby. I love you.
He rocks Arby in his arms.
CUT TO:
85 INT. CAR – STORMY 85
MALCOLM hears some roar and he looks around trying to
see what direction it was coming in.
CUT TO:
86 EXT. JUNGLE – STORMY 86
Suddenly, from out of no where it seems, a TYRANNOSAURS
comes running right in front of the car, then, swerving
to the right. A TRICERATOPS rams its two spikes into
the front, knocking the car over and puncturing the fuel
tank. The dinosaurs ran out of view.
CUT TO:
87 INT. CAR – STORMY 87
MALCOLM climbs the seat after he looks out the window,
seeing the fuel falling to the ground.
MALCOLM
Hurry, get out of the car…hurry.
REGIS
Oh, shit.
REGIS knocks out the windshield and scurries out into
the mud. MALCOLM opens the door quickly and crawls out,
falling to the ground. LEVINE does the same.
They start to run when the tank explodes and the car
bursts into a big ball of fire. Flames catch REGIS on
the back and he falls back to the ground, rolling.
REGIS rushes to the others. LEVINE pats MALCOLM on the
back.
LEVINE
You ok?
MALCOLM
Uh, yeah.
LEVINE and REGIS walk into the jungle, but MALCOLM just
stares at the flames on the vehicle burn.
REGIS
Dr. Malcolm?
MALCOLM shakes his head.
MALCOLM
Damn it in hell!
…And he walks off.
CUT TO:
88 EXT. JUNGLE – STORMY 88
ARBY is to THORNE’S right side, his arm around his back.
It doesn’t look like he’s going to speak for a while.
LAURIE
I had no idea this happens to him.
THORNE
Once or twice a year. We were lucky we
didn’t get caught by that dinosaur.
LAURIE
Will he be ok?
THORNE
Yeah, he’ll be fine.
LAURIE stops and looks at something through the trees.
It’s a rock face, about 25 feet tall. A cable is in the
middle of it.
THORNE looks from his right to his left.
THORNE (cont’d)
Doesn’t look like we’ll find a way of
over it besides climbing.
ARBY
I’m afraid of heights.
THORNE ignores him. He knows there is nothing they
can do but climb.
THORNE grabs the rope.
LAURIE
You sure about this?
THORNE
No.
He starts to climb the rock face, one pull at a time.
5 feet.
10 feet.
He’s almost there. He looks over at a part of the rock
that makes a platform and sees a skeleton, rotting
flesh is hanging from the bones. He screams, a rock
slips from underneath his feet. He grabs on tighter
than before.
LAURIE
You ok?
THORNE
(YELLING)
I’m fine.
He climbs.
17 feet.
Finally, he’s up to the top, and he looks down towards
LAURIE and ARBY.
THORNE (cont’d)
(YELLING)
Ok, Arby…your turn!
ARBY shakes his head.
ARBY
No, I’m not going up there!
THORNE
(YELLING)
Arby, I’m not going to tell you again.
ARBY grabs the rope and starts to climb. He’s slower than
THORNE, but he’s still making progress. As he climbs,
LAURIE looks around her. She feels like she’s being
watched. She doesn’t know what though.
ARBY slips and grabs onto the edge of the rocky
platform where the dead body lay. He screams.
THORNE
Hang on, Arby.
LAURIE
Hang on, sweetie.
THORNE swings the rope toward ARBY and he grasps it in
his hands and resumes climbing. He makes it a few
seconds later.
THORNE
Ok, honey…your turn!
LAURIE
I’m not sure if I can do this.
THORNE
You can, honey…come on.
She hold the rope in her hands. Now she feels the same
feeling, she starts to climb up cautiously.
From the dark spots of the jungle, LAURIE saw a shape
form. Its bull dog snout pointing at her.
LAURIE increases her climbing as the CARNOTAURUS
bellows after her. THORNE sees that she won’t be able
to make it and grabs the rope in his hands and pulls
hard.
Down below, LAURIE feels her body being lifted up as
the CARNOTAUR opens its mouth. It later snaps only
through air and comes back for another take.
LAURIE grips the rope hard and head comes closer.
Coincidentally, she lifts up again as it snaps and
catches rocks in its mouth. It roars with frustration
and walks back into the jungle.
THORNE grabs LAURIE into his arms up on the cliff and
hugs her. They kiss and mouth the words “I love you.”
numerous times.
ARBY watches in silence.
