I think I should tell you. Hammond told me

these people might show up.

He thought we'd be finished by the time

they started, but if they weren't...

he sent a backup plan.

What backup plan?

me.

Simply put, InGen is seeking limited

partners to defray some of our expenses.

The prospectus you've been given

by the board details...

our projected hardware

and construction expenses.

As you can see by my two friends here,

the software is already fully developed.

One might say, "it'd be up and running".

In a moment,

I'll take you on a stroll through the camp...

and you'll see some larger,

more impressive specimens.

You don't bring people halfway

around the world to visit a zoo.

You bring the zoo to them.

San Diego is the perfect setting.

People already associate our beautiful city

with animal attractions:

San Diego Zoo, Sea World,

San Diego Chargers.

Mr. Hammond knew this.

Before he ever dreamt of an island...

he began construction

on an amphitheatre...

very near to where you're sitting now,

the InGen waterfront complex.

But he abandoned it...

in favour of something far grander...

and ultimately impossible.

And so, the facility sits unused,

unfinished...

when it could be completed and ready

to receive visitors in less than a month.

Ajay, look out! Jump!

That's the last time I leave you in charge.

Oh, my God. Are you out of your mind?

She's got a broken leg.

Let's get in the car before they hear us.

- You have any idea what that is?

- Come on, open the door.

You're nuts.

man, Ian's not going to like this.

What's going on?

Isn't it obvious?

We're not alone on this island.

It's not set to the frequency.

Look here.

What the hell is that?

Hello?

No, not Enrique. Ian Malcolm.

Are you on the boat?

No, is this the boat?

We're on Isla Sorna.

We need to talk to the boat, Mar del Plata.

I'll get him.

All right. That's it. I got you.

- I got you.

- Hurry up.

Let's go. Go. Come on.

Watch his tail. Get the door.

Boy, is she mad at you.

- I feel sorry for that guy, Enrique.

- No lectures, please.

Honey, stay back. Don't stand up, okay?

- I got it!

- Watch his head.

- Watch his head.

- Ian, he's hurt!

No, honey, no.

He'll snip at you. Watch his tail.

- All right?

- Okay, I got him.

- Got him?

- Yeah.

There you go.

What must I do, hit her with a stick?

No, don't get close, honey.

- Watch out! Don't stand too close.

- He has that not-so-fresh smell.

No, lady, enough! Wrong frequency.

Nick, don't let him

get those things around you.

Okay, let's take a look at this.

Easy, easy. Just calm down now.

Okay, here are the metatarsals.

Tibia, fibula. There it is.

There's the fracture.

- Right above the epiphysis.

- How bad is it?

If we don't set it, he'll die. It won't heal.

He won't be able to pivot on his ankle.

He won't be able to run or walk.

A predator will pick him off.

Carlos, come in.

Goddamn it, you bastard, listen....

Other animals are going to hear this.

Come in, please. Can you hear me?

I've got to get out of here. I want to leave.

- I'm calling the boat.

- I want to go someplace else.

I don't want to be here.

I want to be somewhere safe.

- Isn't it safe here?

- I want to be somewhere high.

What? What is it? What's going on?

Information, please. What?

You're much happier not knowing.

Get us up. Here we go.

There we go.

I'm so stupid.

I shouldn't have come along with you.

Can you set it?

Yeah, I just need something temporary

to break apart and fall off as he grows.

Whenever you're ready.

He's fighting, Dr Quinn.

What's the frequency for the boat?

Okay, we're high.

This is the safest place you can be.

Like Sarah said, the plants make it

so the animals won't know you're here.

You're just saying that.

I remember the stories you told.

No, this is nothing like that. We're in

a completely different situation now.

Is there a way to communicate

with the trailer?

He's moving again, more morphine.

We have no idea what his metabolism is.

We'll kill him with too much.

I need your hand here.

Put some pressure there.

No answer. What a surprise.

How do I get down?

Tie this belt around you.

Where are you going?

Stay here. Come on, stay here.

Squeeze this rope hard.

The harder you squeeze, the slower you go.

- If you don't squeeze at all...

- I get the idea.

Dad, please stay here.

- Stay here, please.

- Honey, the queen? The goddess?

Your inspiration?

Now you're talking. All right.

I'm coming right back. I give you my word.

But you never keep your word!

Personally, I would have squeezed

just a little harder.

Okay, I'm almost finished.

Damn. I need another adhesive.

Something pliable I can....

Spit.

Your gum.

Get the amoxicillin and fill a syringe.

Quick injection of antibiotics

and he's out of here.

For once in your life,

would it kill you to pick it up?

- Help me get it out of here.

- No, we just set its leg.

mommy's very angry.

This isn't hunting behaviour, Ian.

They're searching.

They came for their infant.

Let's not disappoint them.

Let me get his head, okay?

Careful. Be careful.

I got him.

muzzle off.

- Yes, Eddie?

- They're going back to the jungle.

- I know. I see. How's Kelly?

- She's fine. She's right here.

Hello?

- Kelly, are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm good.

Stay there. Don't move.

I'll be right back up. Understand?

Yeah, I understand.

I beg people to listen to me.

I use plain, simple English.

Shut up.

That should make an interesting chapter

in your book.

The debate over the parental instincts

of the T. Rex is now academic.

Hang on. This is gonna be bad.

They're pushing us over the cliff.

Oh, my God.

Come on, come on.

- Once we're out of here...

- Into the woods.

- Straight into the woods. Come on!

- This is where they hit us.

- Hang on to something!

- Hang on to something!

Oh, my God. Oh, God, please!

Don't move!

I'm coming down for you.

Here I come. Stay still.

Here I come, Sarah.

The satellite phone, get it!

Give me your hand.

Heads up!

Your lucky pack.

I got her.

- Nick?

- We're in here.

Wait. Hold on! I'm coming!

I'm coming.

What did this?

Kelly. What'd you do with Kelly?

She's okay. She's in the High Hide.

- Who's hurt? What do you need?

- We need rope.

Rope. Anything else?

- Three cheeseburgers with everything.

- No onions on mine.

And an apple turnover.

Hold on.

I'm coming!

Bring the rope. Let's go.

- I'm coming.

- Now, now.

- Eddie, you all right?

- Yeah. I'm coming.

We need the rope. Throw it down here.

Hurry!

Good throw. Did you tie this to anything?

- We're sliding!

- We're sliding down!

Up you go.

Increase your rate of climb.

Our communication equipment's

been destroyed.

And if your radio and satellite phone

were in those trailers...

- They were.

- Then we're stuck here.

And stuck together, thanks to you people.

We came to watch.

You came to strip-mine the place.

- Back off.

- At least we came prepared.

Five years of work and electrified fence
