of building a destination resort....

Is this the Ludlow affair?

- This is private property.

- We're on the list.

Turn around, get back in your car.

- This is Dr Harding, I'm Dr Malcolm.

- We have Mr. Ludlow's test results.

There's good and bad news.

Tonight we will christen

Jurassic Park, San Diego...

a mega-attraction

that will drive turnstile numbers...

to rival any theme park in the world.

I want to thank each one of you for coming

in these wee small hours of the morning.

- The ship is here.

- It's early?

You better come now.

It's so exciting!

- See that couple?

- Sir, you need to look at this.

Let them see this up close.

I need a direct line to the Coast Guard.

Look. That's their transponder signal,

Venture 5888.

- They're coming in, but I can't raise them.

- Try again.

Skipper, SS Venture, this is InGen

Harbour master. Do you copy? Over.

Skipper, SS Venture, you are approaching

the breakwater at flank speed.

Reduce at once. Over.

SS Venture, reduce your speed at once.

SS Venture, this is InGen Harbour master.

You are entering a docking area.

What's everybody looking at?

We should've stayed in the car.

- You okay, Mr. Ludlow?

- I don't know. How do I look?

- Oh, my God.

- Where's the crew?

All over the place.

I smell a fuel leak!

Check the cargo hold!

- There may be crew down there.

- Everybody off the boat!

No! Get away from that!

Now you're John Hammond.

- Why wasn't it tranquillised?

- It was hit it with two darts of Carfentanil.

- It was over 10 milligrams.

- That'd put it in a coma.

It stopped breathing.

We gave it naltrexone to counteract.

But we didn't know how much.

You gave an antagonist

without knowing the dosage?

You put it in a narcoleptic state.

It's a locomotive now.

- We're prepared here.

- Any more dinosaurs on the boat?

No, the infant was flown in.

We had this to tranquillise it.

Do you have the infant?

It's safe.

The animal's dehydrated.

First, it'll go to a water source...

then look for the next thing

its body needs.

All the containment equipment is here.

We must get it back to the boat.

I know what you're gonna say.

When we brought the baby to the trailer,

it came.

There's no reason why it won't do

the same thing here.

Where's the infant?

In a secured facility. Why?

Where's the facility?

There's a dinosaur in our backyard.

Benjamin, what are you doing?

What are you doing?

What?

Come on. There's a dinosaur

in our backyard.

The problem is, you need to read to him.

If you serve him dinner,

he won't be up all night.

It's the stupid fish tank!

He needs a proper nightlight.

- It may as well be daytime.

- Just turn it off.

Slow down. Slow it down!

There it is.

He's sedated.

Really heavily. Give me a hand.

When the adult sees us again

with his baby, isn't he going to be like:

"You!"

There may be some angry recognition.

Who knows?

He may be just happy to see us.

What the hell are you doing?

We're taking the kid.

If you really want to stop us, shoot us.

- How will we find the adult?

- Follow the screams.

- There.

- Oh, my God.

It's too drugged.

He won't know we have it

unless it makes some sound!

Wake up. Come on.

He knows.

Ian, slow down a little.

I don't think so.

This guy's almost fully awake.

You know where you're going?

The waterfront's on the other side

of these warehouses.

- Is there a way through?

- There could be.

There we go.

You have to follow me now.

There we go.

- Got him?

- Yep.

- Ready?

- Where's the Rex? Is it still behind us?

There's the water.

Shoot it. Tell them to shoot it.

No, you idiot, the adult. Shoot the adult.

I want the baby back alive.

What have you done with it?

I want that infant!

Are you there?

There you are.

There's a first-rate shot

of the deck of the ship...

and the cargo hold that,

for the moment...

contains the animal itself,

presumably with the infant alongside.

By our calculations, they are nearing

the halfway point of this trip.

Jim, can you hear me there?

Yes, I can, Bernard.

We are halfway to the island.

It is 206 nautical miles

from our present location.

The ship is moving at 20 knots...

which will put it in at about 11:30 a.m.,

Eastern time.

One of the Navy's primary concerns

has been safety.

If we look at the ever-growing escort

around the ship...

they're taking no chances of a repeat

of the San Diego incident.

Let's take a moment to run the tape...

of our interview earlier today

with John Hammond.

He's the former head

of InGen BioEngineering...

the man who is now spearheading

this movement...

not only to return the animals

to their island...

but to keep the island itself intact.

It is absolutely imperative...

that we work with the Costa Rican

Department of Biological Preserves...

to establish a set of rules...

for the preservation and isolation

of that island.

These creatures require our absence

to survive, not our help.

And if we could only step aside...

and trust in nature...

life will find a way.
