The Shawshank Redemption Page #5

couldn't prepare the other island.

- You think your Marlboro men will help?

- You're looters. You came to take.

You have no rights.

An extinct animal brought

back to life has no rights.

It exists because we made it.

We patented it. We own it.

- You looking for a problem?

- And I found you, didn't l?

I know you.

You're that Earth First bastard.

- What's Earth First?

- Professional saboteurs.

- Environmentalists!

- Criminals.

Knock it off! Listen to me.

moving the baby to our camp may have

changed the adults' perceived territory.

Their what?

That's why they attacked the trailers.

- They're defending this entire area now.

- We have to move now.

To where? Our boat and their airlift

are waiting for orders we can't send.

There's a communications centre here

near the old operations building.

Everything ran on geothermal power.

It was never meant to need replenishing.

If we can get here,

we can send a radio call to the airlift.

- You know the frequency?

- Here in this book.

- We'll mind those.

- How far is the village?

A day's walk, maybe more.

- That's not the problem.

- What is?

What is the problem?

Velociraptors.

Their nesting sites are

in the island's interior, which is why...

we were keeping to the outer rim.

- Wait. What's a Veloc...

Velociraptor. Carnivore. Pack hunter.

Two meters tall, long snout...

binocular vision, strong forearms,

killing claws on both feet.

The Rexes may track us, too,

if they feel we're a threat to their infant.

No, we'll lose them

once we leave their territory.

Don't bet on it. Tyrannosaur has the

largest proportional olfactory cavity...

of any creature in fossil record,

except one.

The Turkey Vulture

could scent up to 10 miles.

Right. This is all very thrilling,

but I say we should head for the village.

We could head back down to the lagoon.

And sit out in the open,

near a heavily used water source...

hope that your captain comes back?

- He won't. He knows better.

Then we head for the village,

find shelter and call for help.

Rex just fed, so he won't stalk us for food.

Just fed? You mean Eddie?

Show some respect.

- He saved our lives by giving his.

- Then his troubles are over.

my point is predators don't hunt

when they're not hungry.

- No, only humans do.

- You're breaking our heart.

Saddle up!

Let's get this moveable feast underway.

Excuse me, cowboy.

You want some gum?

You seem like you have common sense.

Why the hell are you here?

Somewhere on this island

is the greatest predator that ever lived.

The second greatest predator

must take him down.

- You going to use that?

- If he doesn't surrender, yes.

- Let me see it.

- No.

The animal exists for the first time

in tens of millions of years...

and the only way you can express

yourself is to kill it.

Remember that chap about 20 years ago?

I forget his name.

Climbed Everest without any oxygen.

Came down nearly dead.

They asked him,

"Why did you go up there to die?"

He said, "I didn't. I went up there to live".

I didn't wish you luck on your new venture.

You're off to a promising start.

my team is intact.

I'm sorry for the loss of your man.

It's easy to criticise someone

who generates an idea, assumes the risk.

When you try to sound like Hammond,

it comes off as a hustle.

It's not your fault.

They say talent skips a generation.

I'm sure your kids will be sharp as tacks.

Hammond's reach exceeded his grasp.

mine does not.

Taking dinosaurs off this island...

is the worst idea in the long,

sad history of bad ideas.

And I'll be there when you learn that.

Take a break. Five minutes.

Are you injured?

No, it's the baby's. I set its broken leg.

It won't dry in the humidity.

Roland, a word?

I'd love to know where we are.

making friends with Ahab?

Carter, I'm going to the ladies' room.

Wait for me here. Okay?

It's not polite to sneak up on people.

Carter! Where are you?

I got turned around in here.

Sh*t!

Carter, let me hear from you!

Okay, break's over. moving on!

Carry me.

Get off!

- When did you last see him?

- 10, 15 minutes.

Come with me. And you.

If he's alive, we'll find him.

The rest of you go on.

You'll reach the ridge in 10 minutes.

Wait for us there.

No one tells the little girl.

Right. Let's carry on.

Everybody up.

Come on. Up, up.

All right guys, let's get the hell out of here.

Did you find him?

Just the parts they didn't like. map.

The operations building

is right down in there...

about a mile and a half

from the base of these cliffs.

- How do you know that?

- I've seen it.

The climb down won't be easy.

We'll let them sleep one more hour.

Then we hit it.

What is that?

Stay down! Don't move!

Don't run!

Don't look, just run! Run!

Bastard!

You son of a b*tch!

He can't reach you! Stay back!

He can't reach us!

Oh, my God! A snake!

Stay back!

It's okay.

It's coming back!

Dad!

Thank you.

Don't go into the long grass!

Not into the long grass!

Look at this.

- What is it?

- I think it's Ajay's bag.

Go, as fast as you can.

Go!

I see structures there.

They said the communications centre

is in the operations building.

I'll get in there and send the radio call.

See you there.

- Wait for us.

- Every second counts.

If you can keep up, you're welcome to try.

- Okay, here we come.

- No! Rest.

Damn it!

CQ, this is InGen Operations

Harvest Leader to Harvest Base.

Repeating, I'm calling

for InGen Harvest Leader...

seeking InGen Harvest Base.

- Go ahead, Harvest Leader.

The operation has suffered

severe casualties.

The survivors are now in mortal danger.

I need you to send rescue immediately.

Our co-ordinates here are...

Here, here!

Inside! Anywhere!

Go.

- Where do I go when I'm out?

- I'm right behind you...

Look out!

Up here!

Hey, you!

The school cut you from the team?

Get out of here!

Come on. Let's go!

Let's go!

- What about the other survivors?

- Another chopper's coming.

It's okay. It's over.

That's one souvenir

they won't be taking with them.

Find the infant tyrannosaur.

Roland knows where the nest is.

I want it on my jet.

I'll take it directly to the infirmary

in San Diego.

Hurry. I want to be airborne

before the female knows.

You probably saved InGen.

We lost everything

we came after on this trip.

But this animal

and its infant will bail us out.

Congratulations.

You've got your trophy!

A buck.

But it's alive! Everyone will line up

and appreciate it and what you did for us.

What's the matter?

He didn't make it. Ajay.

I'm sorry.

Really, I am.

I remember the people who help me.

There's a job for you in San Diego,

if you want it.

No, thank you.

I've spent enough time

in the company of death.

Oh, my God.

Fifteen years ago,

John Hammond had a dream.

Like John himself, the dream was grand.

It was outsized. It was bold.

It was impractical. It was not to be.

Half an hour from now...

John Hammond's dream,

re-imagined, will come true.
