Harry and Draco are sitting in a car, it seems to be some kind of tour ride
thing as they can see a cold metal cable on the ground before and behind
them, but the cars are currently not in motion. Harry finds a pair of
goggles next to him, he puts them on.
Harry: Cool, night vision.
There is a thud, and then a THUD, and then a THUD. Harry and Draco share a frightened look. Now the thud grows LOUDER. There is a CRASHING SOUND, the whole cruiser SHAKES. Then silence. Then another SHAKE.
Harry stares out with his night goggles.
T-Rex paws rest on the electric fence.
Harry takes off his goggles, stares, transfixed. Snape, who's in the front of the car picks them up.
Muscular forepaws with pebbled, grainy skin and thick, curved nails are comfortably gripping a thick wire strand.
The T-Rex moves his body forward of the brush, pushes against the fence.
IN THE SECOND CRUISER -
Ron and Seamus stare out, unseeing in the rain and darkness.
CLOSE ON DRACO -
Tears roll down his cheek. He cries silently with an unknown fear. Snape pulls the goggles from his eyes, starts to gag.
Snape: Jesus Christ.
Draco: Bad language.
Snape: Jesus Christ. The fence isn't electrified.
Draco: Is that bad?
Snape turns, looks out the side window, away from the T-Rex.
Snape is shaking uncontrollably. Suddenly he throws open his door and bolts off into the rain, leaving the door open. No move from the Rex.
Snape races by the second cruiser. Ron stares out at him. Harry: Professor Snape! Professor Snape, where are you going?
Draco: He just left us. He just left us all alone. Harry, Harry how could he do that? We're all alone! We're all alone!
FLASH OF LIGHTNING. FLASH. The Rex butts his head.
The fence bangs down on top of their cruiser.
Harry and Draco recoil from the scrape of the wire mesh against the car.
IN THE SECOND CRUISER -
Through the almost obscuring rain they see the fallen fence. An unseen weight pulls on it further, causing its electric wire to pop like over- tuned guitar strings.
HARRY REACHES -
out into the rain for the open door handle.
Another LIGHTNING FLASH and the creature is revealed standing between the two cruisers, atop the crushed fence. His head turns back and forth, he's deciding on his prey. Ron and Seamus or Harry and Draco?
Harry slams the door shut. He looks directly at the Rex, just a few feet away. The Rex turns to him, stares back.
Draco SCREAMS and Harry claps a hand over his mouth.
There is a whisper over Harry's walkie-talkie.
RON (ON WALKIE) Harry, be quiet. Don't move.
Ron snaps off the walkie-talkie.
The rain runs in rivulets down the pebbled skin of the muscular hind legs. The animal's head is out-of-view, above the rooftops of the cars. The Rex lifts its huge hind leg.
Seamus: Holy shit! Any suggestions what we do now?
Ron: Can't think of a thing.
The T-Rex slowly circles Ron's cruiser.
BACK ON HARRY -
He watches the beast move.
BACK ON RON -
As they twist and turn, trying to find a circling Rex in dark and rain. The Rex pauses right next to Seamus' window. He lowers his head, looking for movement inside, the beady, expressionless reptilian eye moving in the socket.
Ron whispers, hardly moving his lips.
Ron: Don't move.
Seamus' leg trembles uncontrollably.
IN THE FIRST CRUISER -
Very frightened, Draco discovers a flashlight. He flicks it on and off, distracting himself. The beam shows his eyes full of a quiet panic.
Draco: It's too, too dark out there.
Harry waves his hands in caution.
BACK ON RON, SEAMUS, AND THE REX -
The Rex bends down, bumps the windshield with his nose. Just stays there, breathing heavily. In the distance, the flashlight goes on again. The Rex raises his head suddenly. Ron grabs his walkie.
RON (TO THE WALKIE) Shut off that flashlight, Harry!
As the Rex heads off, a casual swipe of his tail SMASHES the side of the cruiser, throwing Ron and Seamus across the inside of the car.
ON HARRY -
He lunges for the flashlight. Draco dodges him, keeps it lit.
Draco: No, it's mine. Please, I need it.
Harry looks up through the sun roof. The massive head of the Tyrannosaurus Rex appears. Harry watches, transfixed. Draco looks up. Irrational with terror, he aims his flashlight like a gun. Blasts him. Her flashlight beam cuts through the dark and rain - he sees the beast plainly for the first time and SCREAMS!
The POOL OF LIGHT bathes the Rex's face. He smashes his head down onto the Plexiglass bubble. It crunches, and falls into the car, crushing the children. Harry uses his feet to push it to the side.
Above, the Rex displays is gaping maw, drooling toward the opening.
RON -
watches the Rex raise his mighty head again, above the kids' cruiser.
HARRY -
have a half-instant of relief. Then SLAM. The Rex butts his head against the cruiser. The Rex comes back down, tries to discover his prey inside the cruiser. Pushes his head close to the glass, looking.
The dinosaur stands in front of the cruiser, his whole chest heaving, his forelimbs pawing the air.
Harry whispers to Draco.
Harry: Are you ok? Be quiet and don't move.
Draco barely nods and grabs Harry's hand.
The Tyrannosaur places his head next to the car. He begins to shove the cruiser with his head. The cruiser ROCKS. The back window bursts, shards go flying.
Inside, the kids are THROWN back and forth, SHOVED against each other, and finally FLUNG against the top of the car as the cruiser FLIPS.
The whole world TILTS CRAZILY - trunks of palm trees slide by, the ground above, the blazing eye of the rex, the tops of palm trees.
The cruiser SLAMS DOWN on its side, the windows splat in the mud. Draco falls helplessly against the side window and lies motionless. Harry falls beside him, banging his head. He reaches for Draco.
Harry: (softly) Draco? Draco?
SILENCE. No movement from Draco.
THE ANIMAL toys with the cruiser. Like a dog with its bone, the dinosaur pushes the cruiser along with his head. He pushes it past the picnic tables toward the ripped fence and the embankment. Each shove sends the children flying again.
The cruiser is pushes closer and closer to the unprotected embankment. The cruiser slams to a stop completely upside-down. The T-Rex steps right on the cruiser, crushing the roof against the ground.
INSIDE - the children crawl for their lives as the car crushes further down from above and a tidal wave of mud oozes in from the sides.
THE REX - gnaws at the car, grabs a tire with his teeth, It ruptures with a pitiful pop. The Rex grabs at the axle with his teeth, begins to drag the car back. The kids, half-outside, are pulled with the car.
RON DANCES -
with a flare! The Rex is distracted, he ROARS. The flare gleams in his eyes.
The Rex starts toward Ron. He tosses the flare over the half-standing part of the fence. The Rex lunges after the flare.
Seamus has reached his limit. Terrorized, he leaps out and SCREAMS.
Seamus: Extinct animals should stay extinct!
He bolts. The Rex sees him and starts after him, THUNDERING by Ron, who stays frozen in place.
Seamus sprints for his life. He's not even a distant match for the T- Rex jogging behind him.
Seamus dives into the LADIES ROOM.
INSIDE - he slams the door and shoves the trashcan against the door. POUNDING FOOTSTEPS APPROACH! Seamus backs up into one of the stalls. LOUDER POUNDING, THE WALLS BEGIN TO VIBRATE! Seamus assumes a 'tuck' position.
The Rex smashes right through the steel-clad door. Pieces go flying.
Seamus hides amidst the wreckage as the Rex sniffs around.
RON RUNS BACK -
to check on the kids. He reaches a hand underneath the flipped car, sitting in the mud. Draco's soft voice can be heard.
Draco: Ron!
Ron fishes under, finds Draco's hand, drags him out. He quickly checks him for broken bones.
Ron: Draco, are you okay?
Draco: Harry's unconscious, he won't move.
Draco SCREAMS. Ron turns to see the Rex return. He squeezes Draco tight. The animal goes right past them, back to his toy - Harry's land cruiser!
The Rex BELLOWS a huge cry. Harry awakens and sees the Rex above him. He SCREAMS.
Draco, squeezed in Ron's arms, sees his imperiled Harry.
Draco: Harry!
The Tyrannosaur looks up, GROWLS across the upside-down cruiser, opens its huge jaws menacingly, all the time staring at Ron and Draco.
INSIDE THE CAR - Harry tries to unwedge himself. A thin trickle of blood runs down his forehead. He's jammed between the crushed roof and the bent bench seat. He can't free himself.
The Rex begins to SHOVE the cruiser toward Ron and Draco. They back up but they have very few feet left - they're almost at the embankment. But if they don't move, they'll by crushed by the oncoming car.
Ron slings Draco onto his back. He grabs his hands around his neck and digs his feet into his sides. Ron begins to climb over the downed fence and into the embankment - it's a huge drop!
Ron grabs a broken cable and lowers himself and Draco over the side of the embankment.
Just in time as the Rex SHOVES the cruiser further. Now, the cruiser TEETERS right on the edge, turning again on its side. Harry hangs halfway out of the car, unable to get out further.
Ron, with Draco on his back, slides down the cable, rappelling down the embankment. ABOVE, the car looms over them, rocking on the edge. Draco looks up and grabs Ron so tightly, he chokes him, unknowingly.
Ron, eyes bulging, sees the danger from above. He pushes off the wall and swings them toward the next hanging cable. He reaches out and -
- GRABS THE NEXT CABLE just as -
- the T-Rex BELLOWS and lowers her head, and gives a final shove. Harry and the cruiser SAIL INTO SPACE. Harry SCREAMS!
Ron and Draco swing out of the way as the cruiser sails past them. Draco SCREAMS, squeezing Ron's neck even tighter! They watch helplessly as the cruiser BOUNCES off the wall and CRASH-LANDS into the top of a tree at the base of the wall.
Ron and Draco stare down at the wreck in the tree. Harry can't be seen. Ron, choking from Draco's grip, grabs his fingers.
Ron: Dray. you're.c..choking.me..
The Rex ROARS above. They look up.
THE REX paws the air, GRUNTS in frustration and STALKS off, LIGHTNING FLASHES.
The two boys are hauled away from the wrecked car in the fridge and find themselves in the now familiar vortex of film..
TBC.......
Harry: Cool, night vision.
There is a thud, and then a THUD, and then a THUD. Harry and Draco share a frightened look. Now the thud grows LOUDER. There is a CRASHING SOUND, the whole cruiser SHAKES. Then silence. Then another SHAKE.
