Jurassic Park 3 Page #4

19 EXT. SKY - COUNTINUOUS DAY 19

We watch the plane descend sharply to the island.

20 INT. PLANE - COUNTINUOUS DAY 20

In various combinations, Grant and Billy, Paul and Amanda look

out the windows at the amazingly green island.

Cooper looks out through a window of his own.

21 INT. COCKPIT - COUNTINUOUS DAY 21

Here we find the rest of the crew from the junkyard. Nash is

piloting.

A VOICE comes over their radio headsets.

RADIO VOICE:

(Spanish accent)

Unidentified aircraft approaching Isla

Sorna, this is San Juan approach. You are

flying in restricted airspace. Immediately

turn to the coordinates two-zero-zero. I repeat

redirect to...

A look from Nash then Udesky switches off the radio.

22 EXT. PLANE - COUNTINUOUS DAY 22

The plane now descends to a mere hundred feet above the

treetops.

23 INT. PLANE - CONTINUOUS DAY 23

Paul puts his hand atop Amanda's as they stare intently out the

window.

Billy looks to Grant.

BILLY:

Admit it. You're excited.

Grant will admit nothing.

Calling back from the cockpit...

UDESKY:

Cooper! Yell up if you see anything!

COOPER:

(yelling back)

No, I thought I'd keep it to myself.

Suddenly Grant spots...

GRANT:

There. There! An Apatosaur. Look at the

coloration.

EXT. ISLA SORNA – GRASSY FIELD – CONTINUOUS DAY

An Apatosaur is grazing on the grass.

INT. PLANE – CONTINUOUS DAY

BILLY:

(amazed)

I'm so use to seeing bones. It's weird to see

skin.

GRANT:

Mr. and Mrs. Kirby! If you look out the right

you can see...

But Paul just waves him away with a hand, staring intently out

his window. We HOLD ON Grant a moment, thinking that odd.

24 INT. COCKPIT - CONTINUOUS DAY 24

Udesky puts down his binoculars.

UDESKY:

South shore is clear. The rest is rock.

NASH:

Are we on?

UDESKY:

We're on.

25 INT. MAIN CABIN - CONTINUOUS DAY 25

Looking out the window, Grant notices they're flying awfully

low. Just then, he hears a MECHANICAL HUM and a LOW RUSH from

outside. Now wanting to believe --

GRANT:

That's not the landing gear?

Paul, Amanda and Cooper don't respond.

GRANT (CONT'D)

What you're...

(realizing)

You can't land.

Paul turns back to him.

PAUL:

Dr. Grant if you'd just sit tight, we'll

explain this all in a jiffy.

GRANT:

This plane can not land!

AMANDA:

It's going to be all right. Just...

Grant is out of his seat, heading for the cockpit. He'll wrestle

the controls if he has to.

Cooper grabs him, pulling him back. Grant starts to struggle,

but he's certainly no match. A well-practiced fist hits him

dead on.

CUT TO BLACK.

26 OVER THE DARKNESS 26

we hear Amanda's voice, strangely distant but amplified.

AMANDA:

Eric! Eric! Are you there honey? Ben!

Erriccc!

Her calls continue as we FADE UP to...

27 INT. PLANE - DAY 27

GRANT'S P.O.V. -- blurry and disorientated. He finds himself lying

on the floor of the plane.

Seeing him come to, Billy helps him slowly get up. Grant's head

is pounding.

GRANT:

Tell me we didn't land.

By his expression, we see Billy would have to lie.

BILLY:

I think they're looking for someone.

28 EXT. LANDING STRIP, ISLA SORNA - DAY 28

The jungle has almost reclaimed this patchy vine-covered

runway. The airplane is parked at one end.

Nash, Udesky, and Cooper are checking their weapons.

Amanda is at the edge of the tarmac calling into the jungle on a

BULLHORN.

Billy and a groggy Grant emerge from the airplane. Paul trots

over.

PAUL:

Dr. Grant, are you alright? I'm sorry we

had to be so...

The three mercenaries are now walking into the jungle with

their guns.

GRANT:

What the hell is going on? What are they

doing?

PAUL:

Establishing a perimeter. Making it safe.

These guys are really good. One of them was a

Green...

GRANT:

Mr. Kirby, trust me, on this island, there is

no such thing as safe. We have to get back in

this plane...

Grant looks to Amanda, who shouts through a bull horn.

AMANDA:

(on-bullhorn)

ERRR-IIIC!

GRANT:

And tell your wife to stop making so

much noise! We're food to these damn

animals.

PAUL:

(yelling)

Amanda, Honey! Dr. Grant says it's a bad

idea!

AMANDA:

(on the bullhorn)

What?

PAUL:

(pointing broadly at Alan)

He says it's a bad idea!

AMANDA:

(on the bullhorn)

What's a bad idea?

As in on cue, there is a DEAFENING ROAR from the jungle.

Everyone turns toward the sound and freezes.

PAUL:

(to Alan)

What was that?

Grant doesn't answer, still listening to the reverberations.

Then a couple shots are heard.

BILLY:

(low)

Is it a rex?

GRANT:

I don't think so.

Billy and Paul breathe a small sign of relief.

GRANT (CONT'D)

Sounds bigger.

Nash and Udesky come RUNNING out of the jungle, headed for

the plane.

UDESKY:

We gotta go, now!

PAUL:

What's the problem? Can't you guys...?

As Udesky and Nash sprint past Paul in interrupted by a

second, closer, DEAFENING ROAR. He pales.

29 INT. PLANE - CONTINUOUS - DAY 29

Udesky waits by the door, hustling everyone inside. Nash

hurries into the cockpit. Everyone scrambles to a seat. Amanda

climbs next to Paul.

AMANDA:

We can't just...

PAUL:

Don't worry, honey. We'll circle around and

come back.

Udesky closes the door.

BILLY:

What about the other guy?

UDESKY:

Coop's a professional. He can handle himself.

A blood-curdling SCREAM echoes through the jungle followed by

MACHINE GUN FIRE.

NASH:

(yelling back)

We're going!

Udesky climbs into the copilot's seat, and Nash revs the engine.

30EXT. RUNAWAY - DAY30

The plane starts down the runway.

31INT. PLANE - DAY31

The passengers bounce in their seats as the plane picks up

speed down the overgrown strip.

32EXT. RUNWAY - DAY32

Suddenly, two hundred yards ahead of the plane,

COOPER:

emerges from the jungle. He stands in the middle of the runway.

waving one arm wildly. His second, badly injured arm hangs

limp by his side.

COOPER:

Come on, Nash. Slow down, buddy.

33INT. THE COCKPIT - DAY 33

Nash spots Cooper, shoots a glance at the airspeed indicator.

NASH:

Coop, you know I can't do it pal.

He slams down full throttle in an attempt to reach flying speed.

Seeing that Nash has no intention of stopping, Paul shouts from

the cabin.

PAUL:

What are you doing? That's Mr. Cooper!

34EXT. RUNWAY - CONTINUOUS - DAY34

We are looking down on Cooper from behind. As the plane

approaches,

A SHADOW:

falls over the injured mercenary. Then with brutal speed, an

ENORMOUS BEAST seizes him in its massive jaws and lifts him

into the air.

From this angle we get only a glimpse of a long crocodilian

snout, powerful clawed forearms and spiny sail rising from the

creature's back.

35INT. THE COCKPIT - CONTINUOUS - DAY 35

All eyes are on the creature as it devours Cooper. Amanda turns

away in horror.

AMANDA:

Oh, my God! Paul, my God!

36INT. THE COCKPIT - CONTINUOUS - DAY 36

Looking through the windshield, we see the creature is directly

in the path of the plane.

Nash pulls back on the stick. The plane rises.

The left propeller clips the flank of the enormous

dinosaur, SNAPPING the blade.

Blood sprays the windshield and side windows.

37EXT. RUNWAY - CONTINUOUS - DAY 37
