...2 Years Prior to the incident that took down the power on Isla Nublar, the official island used for Hammond's safari zoo hideaway known formally as Jurassic Park...
FADE TO MYSTERY ISLAND, SITE C ALSO CALLED ISLA MUERTA: Research Camp Site.
**A thick white fog with patches of white snow covers the Island's exterior, making it difficult to navigate and climb. Isla Muerta is covered with ice and hail from one end to the other.**
**A man with shades steps out into plain view, a badge stating "Biosyn" on the front. He takes out a cell phone and radios in, talking to his boss who rests only thirty meters behind them.**
Miles: "Alright, alright...I've got a sign of something here Dodgson. You're going to want to see this. It looks like an installation...an installation with computer equipment."
**Voice pierces the air over the loud speaker.** Dodgson: "Good work. Get out the extra sensor crawler Camera, and drive it out in between each of those buildings. Get a wide shot. Don't take any chance. If it is what I think it is, my boss back home on the mainland will be giving out promotions like candy soon."
Miles and the soldier nod and move through the jungle. Miles: "Keep quiet, don't trip any alarms..."
***A camera is suddenly tossed out of a large napsack and begins to crawl across the exterior of the walls, carefully making its way up the island's rock face. It begins to peek through the buildings taking snap shots of large icy walls and wire filled crevices that belong to a set of computer equipment used for cloning. The computer equipment is hard to make out in these still shots, but some type of machine runs everything on the Isla Muerta.***
Miles: "There might be a problem here Sir, before I can get the camera through those windows. Some kind of dinosaur looking animal. Billy, Jack, go check that out! Get rid of that damn thing."
Jack and Billy Yoder spring into action and run towards the large shadow of some type of bi-pedal beast. A huge fin is sliding menacingly down its back in the Icy sheets of hail and snow. A large sign sits nearby, halfway torn in half by the monster. On it are the words "INDOMINUS REX."
Billy Yoder: "Goddam it, I'm never coming to this Island again! What the hell- " **billy and jack shoot three to four rockets at the monster, forcing it to back off before one of its claws are firmly placed on the vehicle the hunters rode in on. Huge jaws begin to encircle the whole body of Jack before he's sprung into the air. Suddenly, the vehicle is crushed under its feet.**
Jack: "AGGGGGHH" "Get me out, AHHHHHHHHHHHH" **jack shoots two rockets into the animal as blood hits the torrent of rain, and sounds of jack's body being consumed are quietly hinted at.**
**The Dinosaur shrieks and roars so loud the vehicles of the two hunters begin to shatter, both the windows and bolts for the door's locks as things take a turn for the worse. The truck Billy was driving suddenly snaps back and is jettisoned across the hillside, exploding in a ball of fire.**
Billy Yoder: "No, Jack! AMOS!" **Billy screams as he continues shooting at the dinosaur**
**suddenly three rockets cut the cold icy air as a missile launcher fires from the north.**
Spinosaurus Hybrid: "ROOOOOOOOOOAR! RAWWWR!"
**The White Spinosaurus with a White sail on its back screams in pain. It causes septio Spinoasaurus to stumble back in a rage, and slowly bellow a roar as it stumbles over the hill and makes its retreat.**
**From the south, Dodgson appears and confirms he personally fired the rockets which got rid of the massive Dinosaur. He barks out orders over his comm device, angrily pointing towards the shed.**
Billy Yoder: "Thank Gawd that's over...What the hell is that monster?"
Miles: "What's the matter Billy, you never heard of Cold Vengeance mm? All you coddled kids, I swear they don't even teach you the terrors of the real world...This place is the Isle of the Dead ..."
Dodgson: "Quiet. That was a septio Spinosaurus..One of the most dangerous Dinosaurs that never made it to Jurassic Park. I was right, they're building hybrids. Monsters that aren't on any list."
Miles: "What the hell does that mean, Dodgson..? This place can't possibly be authorized by Jurassic Park. I've never seen any dinosaurs that terrifying, it sprang outta nowhere.."
Billy: "Yeah, none of this is in any of the booklets for training..Not even Biosyn's field exercises."
Dodgson: "That's because they aren't part of a park. The dinosaurs that reside in this place are part of the restricted zone. Everything that goes on in this island, are Black-Ops projects that are prohibited and kept off the books. Nobody knows about it, just to keep nosy investors in the dark."
Lewis Dodgson: "And that is why Biosyn has been involved here for a long time. Which is exactly why my boss wants the photos of this place, they want proof for the board, that InGen no longer runs the show and also solid evidence that this place exists."
Billy Yoder: "That's why he demanded the photos? But didn't we always know of Site C?"
***Miles runs the camera crawler, as it dips inside of the large brisk utility shed. it quietly snaps pictures of the CRAY computer, as well as a collection of embryos and projects that this device has been controlling for years.***
Miles: "Nobody knows about Site C billy, besides some of the Biosyn big wigs and inside men. One of those lab coats who works on Isla Muerta's "off the books" projects is supposedly a Dr. Henry Wu, though it was never confirmed."
***for a moment, Dodgson thinks he sees a family in the snowy mist herding a young girl with dark auburn hair. It is located near a facility with cloning machines labeled "MAIZE."***
Dodgson: *blinks* "Don't be a fool Billy. Nearly no one knows that this Island exists. Even Hammond was spoon fed short useless tales about Site C by his own doctor, Henry Wu. The Indominus was created here. I know for a fact the CRAY computer designed the Indominus Rex, nothing else would make monsters like that or the White Spinosaurus be possible."
Miles: "Seems like a bad dream, maybe we should forget we ever came to this place..."
Dodgson: "But this place is life's necessary sanctuary. This is where the chaos begins.." **a switch is unlocked as they quietly pass under the snow ridden canopy, which triggers eerie music and a voice over to begin. Dodgson quietly gathers all photos of the CRAY into his black briefcase.**
***Hammond's Voice Over plays: "The forest continues on for many miles into the heart of the jungle. A large canopy, thrusting upward as it rests and quietly settles into the bedrock. Ancient beasts...time has not forgot. And one day an entire nature preserve with them."***
Billy: "I can't believe this is Isla Muerta..I think I'll stick to scout missions..." ***billy loads everything onto the helicopter with the rest of the guns*** **a voice over comes from the helicopter. Nelle Sorkin: "Dodgson, anything else to report?"
Dodgson: (((dodgson grabs a large box of cables and radio isotopes belonging to some kind of power switch.)))"Nothing else today, Nelle. We're lifting out of here."
Miles: "Not doing jobs here for less than two million, good riddance." ***the rest of the pictures and telescopic cameras are loaded on the chopper as Dodgson's team fly off into the distance.***
SCROLL TO DOWNTOWN SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA: Biosyn Research Station:
A tall, well dressed man in a business suit enters the main foyer after taking a long swig of Coke. He stares beneath his dark shades at the uniformed executive greeting him in the office meeting grounds. The man begins to shift his elbows to the side as he strides confidently up to the desk.
Reaching towards his left arm, he takes something flat and rectangle which had been kept close to his chest between the shoulder and elbow area. It is a manilla folder, which he then proceeds to open wide in front of the man sitting at the front of the desk. A pair of pictures and hand typed documents fall out and in no time display the contents in plain view.
Lewis Dodgson: "I took a long time to carefully plan out and capture each of these shots you see here. These are of the facility on Site C, Mr. Regis, that you have been asking about ever since that park first started construction."
Nathaniel Regis: "Don't waste my time with anything frivilous Dodgson. Did you get the pictures of Hammond's new toy or didn't you? I didn't become CEO of a company as large as Biosyn {Genetics} for nothing!"
Lewis Dodgson: "Mr. Regis, if you please look at the detailed pictures and observe. That is the machine John Hammond has been hiding for a long time...That is, this is the quantum super computer which they all pretend doesn't exist and keep going back and forth over."
Nathaniel Regis: "Don't play games and get right to the point. My investors internationally expect nothing less this time, Dodgson. They won't keep investing in Biosyn without those assurances. Is that the Cray?"
Lewis Dodgson: "That is none other than the CRAY super computer. They used it to build the blue-print for several different new species, including the quark Spinosaurus who can supposedly cloak itself in broad daylight."
Lewis Dodgson: "Sir, I found you the original CRAY. This is for certain the original computer system Hammond designed to gene sequence these animals like shooting fish in a barrel."
Lewis Dodgson: "I wouldn't take any chances with this, so I sent Miles in to personally verify it is the CRAY. Especially since I expect to earn my promotion to be made CEO of the most powerful genetics company in the world one day soon."
Nathaniel Regis: "And? What proof does Miles have for me, that the CRAY computer has not already been moved...Not to mention the Velociraptor InGen genetic codes for the hybrids."
Lewis Dodgson: "Mr. Regis, I tasked Miles to personally visit the island on Site C. Hammond has not moved the CRAY to Isla Sorna yet, which is most assuredly occurring at a later date."
Nathaniel Regis: "Miles get in here this instant! I don't trust you or your promises yet, Dodgson."
Inside Biosyn research room: A gaunt man enters carrying a brief case full of photos. He grimaces in the cool night air and puts out the cigar caught in his jacket pocket. The edge of his sunglasses reflect off the marble on the large Biosyn meeting area's desk.
Miles: "Of course Mr. Regis I got what you need right here. You see these in the brief case, yeah? Something else right...Extra sparkled and spiffy I tell you! And look at that, it's so shiny ya can even see your reflection bouncing off the glass."
Miles: "That right there..." *he takes out a baton and points at the pictures* "That right there is what all the big movers and shakers call the CRAY. The original CRAY, and even better than that Regis you can count on me since I got you some of those original InGen seeds of vanity itself ...The best of the best, the three clawed wonders...The Desert Devils, or Pteranadon embryo capsules..."
Dodgson: "...What is he talking about?"
Nathaniel Regis (CEO of Biosyn): "Don't talk at me. Show me, Miles. Show me the embryo prototypes."
Miles: "Right here, right here Amigo!" *miles takes out a large tray of capsules all mashed together in a perfect count of twelve capsules to each sheet* *he slowly inches the capsules across the table towards Regis in his chair* "Spared no expense, this was an easy job..."
Nathaniel Regis: "You have done it Miles. My God, these are the original Pteranadon capsules...Excellent. So the CRAY is in fact on Site C, as you say Dodgson?"
Miles: "Hey you know, I know a gal. I was gonna say I know someone who might be able to help with that whole cryo-can problem should the deal with Targaven fall through somehow..."
Dodgson: "Of course Mr. Regis. As long as we move now and get it done the CRAY is as good as ours. The computer controls all the structural innards of the entire hatchery, and the real miracle for the so called Jurassic Park. If they don't have all this ironed out in time, then tout s'écroule as they say in France...their operation falls apart without trouble."
Dodgson: "Every pre caution has been taken. We can't just enter Site C unannounced. Hammond's little unofficial greeting always sees to that. Why don't you show him the launch video Miles."
Nathaniel Regis: "I'm intrigued...you may yet move up, Dodgson. And this video..?"
Miles: *miles smirks with a menacing stare* "Check this out boss, and lets just say...I think everyone in the room including the guards better be wearing their polished shades for this one..."
*Miles turns on a small switch in the brief case and suddenly a lighted hologram pops up in the room of a prior event. The holograph record begins playing back an audio recording, of what appears to be John Hammond's voice.*
((((((((lights dim out))))))) "Hammond's Voice Plays: "And then, Life might Find a way I thought. For one brief moment, the door of time opened. As Nedry and I stared into the screen, straight back more than sixty-five thousand centuries. Something this bold only comes about once a lifetime. To see these creatures of old is a delight humanity will never forget." ((((((lights continue to dim out))))))
"*Hammond's Voice Plays: "This is one of life's most treasured buried secrets. And now it is ours to behold for the first time in ages. The Raptors would take to the open fields just like Lions to the Serengeti. Razor toothed creatures and untamed specimens in all directions. Just imagine Dinosaurs living and breathing, in the wild without borders.*" **the hologram is quietly cut short.**
Nathaniel Regis: "This is quite astounding your discovery, Mr. Dodgson. If Miles was able to survive such an excursion to Site C then perhaps you have more answers for me. Specifically, did we discover what the CRAY is controlling?"
Nathaniel Regis: "Do they have cloning technology actively used? And how about the mutated embryos? As we suspect was used with G. Harding and that girl Mills has mentioned?"
Lewis Dodgson: "All that and more, Mr. Regis. All that...and much more. They have clones of these animals. I found a data disk recording tape left behind...that presumably will be erased when they move the laboratories to Isla Sorna."
***dodgson plays the tape*** "Dr. Avo's Voice: "Dr. Wu, is there any updates on the clone's condition relating to Gerry Harding?""
**" Dr. Wu's Voice: "Yes, as well as the frogs. The experiment was a success and the file has been added to the archive labeled "G. HARDING." The other clone experiment for "MAIZE" has been added to a separate archive."
"Dr. Avo's Voice: "And the animal?"
"Dr. Wu's Voice: "Yes, the archive was updated again with the inscription label. The INVISI-ZAR VELOCIRAPTOR was likewise added to the clone file. The animal exhibits normal raptor tendencies, yet is also able to change its color and remain hidden from view."
"Dr. Avo's Voice: "That cannot be possible. This must be kept a secret; since no one can know we bred raptors who can vanish from sight. Surely Mr. Hammond does not know, then?"
"Dr. Wu's Voice: "Mr. Hammond hasn't a clue what is truly going on. And our new investors plan to keep this a tightly knit secret, just in order to beat Biosyn to the punch."
"Dr. Wu's Voice: "The cloning technology really works...Both for Dinosaurs and Humans. If it wasn't for me and my assistant, Hammond never would have had the CRAY..or the Amphibians."
"Dr. Wu's Voice: "I need you to keep this silent, so he never understands or knows."
"Dr. Avo's Voice: "You can count on me. These secrets are far too priceless to ever release."
***dodgson's tape stops***
Nathan Regis: "I'm going to hold a private call later with Steingarten. They call this place the Isle of the Dead correct. Incredible...The CRAY has been right under our noses the entire time.."
Lewis Dodgson: "Gentlemen, this is going to lead to a new era for all of us. I will take over Biosyn in time. The CRAY is finally within our grasp. After I get these files updated, our need to keep discretion around things such as the financial deal with people like Targaven will end."
Miles: "You sound too enthusiastic, I mean the place is an Isle of the Dead.."
Nathan Regis: "Don't insult my intellect. I need Marvin Targaven's services for now to acquire enough DNA capsules."
Lewis Dodgson: ((a light chuckle fills the silence around the table)) "You can proceed with Biosyn's meeting of course, Mr. Regis. I am simply pointing out it will all be irrelevant soon. Once the CRAY finally falls into my hands and the disks lying within it...[Jurassic Park's secrets will be mine]..."
Miles: "Here we go again, it just never ends with this gig." **miles quietly follows Dodgson out**
** Nathaniel Regis motions for the video call to go up on screen as Dodgson quietly exits the room. On viewing monitor is Bill Steingarten, a renowned Biosyn researcher who stole the Spinosaurus genes for the company a year ago in South America. Steingarten celebrates the idea of one day "controlling his own" company spun off from Biosyn, for those who read other works including the comics. But for Regis today, Steingarten is nothing more than a loyal foot soldier. This is all left up to audience interpretation, as the monitor reviews Regis giving a speech to Steingarten.**
Nathaniel Regis: **the viewing screen opens up.** "I don't want anyone else finding out about our project Steingarten, that means Hammond and Ludlow especially. Did you retrieve the samples I asked? You are my most loyal right hand Bill, this is very important. I don't trust Dodgson yet knowing what I do of Site C."
Bill Steingarten: "You mean the Spined one with the fin? Of course Mr. Regis, I barely escaped from the island alive with our current sample. Staruch and Baron didn't make it. But there's your prize."
**steingarten waves his hand as his agent tosses over the DNA capsule of the hybrid Spinosaurus**
Nathaniel Regis: "Good Bill, I appreciate your tenacity. You are going back to that island on the first flight out. I want those embryos of the zeno Carnotaurus without excuses this time."
Steingarten: "The zeno what...The Carnotaurus!? What? You must be daft...I've heard rumors those new Carnotaurus specimens can dive underwater, climb up cliff sides and explode through the ground. They were bio-engineered by InGen."
Nathaniel Regis: "Yet that is precisely why I want Carnotaurus in my hands, a weapon like that can be a highly potent equalizer for Biosyn. Rumors or gossip, it is all meaningless. My Nephew claims he understands dinosaurs, as well as the building blocks of life. Ed thinks he knows these animals or recognizes what the future holds for their thought experiment. I take it as an insult to my legacy as CEO. Only history will be our judge Steingarten, and it is Biosyn's own pillars which will build it. Get to that island on Site C, and don't call me until it's in your hands."
***Fade to bar outside San Francisco, Barry's Kitchen Grille, 4 months after. Downtown bar on the edge of town sees Bill Steingarten, Marissa, Rich, Targus and their hunter friends enter.***
Targus: "Hey Bill, I bet I can throw down more at the darts table than you can muster in 3 weeks..."
Bill Steingarten: "You're on, Targus. Marissa watch me wipe the floor with him."
Rich Ames: "Three rounds, winner takes all. So what's the job this time? I dun think you'll win.."
Marissa: "Darts using the three card montie rule...Is that even legal?"
Steingarten: ((smirks)) "Folks, I'm getting paid an awful lot this time by Biosyn to run this squad's mission. I'll clean up, since I'm a fourth time champion. Ain't that right Rich?"
Rich Ames: "I would imagine given you won the last three tounaments.." **rich chugs his beer**
Marissa: "That's right Bill, you got this. Give these amateurs a bruisin for me! Show 'em how its done!"
Targus: "The only one who will be cleaning up this time, will be me all over your face, Bill."
Steingarten: "Oooo, scary! You got me shaking in my boots now, Targus like in good ol' WWE..."
Targus: "Don't brag too hastily, before you're going TIIIIMBER big man..."
***Marissa, Rich and Jerry watch them intently as suddenly Targus hits five dart boards in a row, getting a straight center line shot. It appears he has won when Bill suddenly comes out on top.***
Steingarten: "Getting awfully nervous there, moose man...This wasn't wise thinking.." **suddenly, Steingarten shoots out seven darts, each one taking a straight bullseye. the bar gets loud with applause.**
Rich Ames: "Oh, I bet they want to go two out of three now...He asking for a re-match over the Pool table now Marissa? (what a wanker!)"
Marissa: "That's my Bill! You did it, you won again. I hope you always win big for us."
Targus: "Alright, alright Bill. I see what ya did. How about a rematch over pool?"
Targus: "...And steingarten, just what is this job about..."
Steingarten: "Marissa you always know how to bring out the charm. Nah, I'm afraid this job is different. No rematch today folks, we got to head out."
Steingarten: "That's why I brought ya here to celebrate...Biosyn's orders are real messy this time."
Rich: "I get it...this job is going to be rough."
Bill Steingarten: "I wanted you to be prepared. Targus, you got the GPS tracker? We're going to the Island in 3 days time..."
Targus: "I'm as ready as I'll ever be Bill...And when it's over, I'll own yer truck!"
Bill Steingarten: "Over my dead body!"
Marissa: "And yer gonna gift me what I asked for, okay Bill! I earned it!" (((Bill, Marissa, Jerry and Rich all laugh as they walk out of the bar. They stumble into their cars and head for the airport.)))
Bill: "Never look a gift horse in the mouth." Steingarten stammers.
***their three cars cruise down the freeway to the airport, shortly after parking at the loading bay they are on their way by cargo plane to the Isla Muerta.***
*** Fade to Isla Muerta and Isla Nublar, 4 days later. Giant cascades of rain pound down over the island in sheets of crystal fog that never seem to stop. Hail begins to heavily shake the earthly foundations all across the Island as a white mist slowly disappears. Isla Muerta is home to a new species of velociraptor, later moved to Isla Sorna which can physically disappear. It is likewise home to the bi-pedal monster known as the zeno Carnotaurus, a new experiment made by InGen.**
***a jeep drives up at sixty five miles an hour alongside a pair of incredibly tough velociraptors.** **the raptors slowly cloak themselves, phasing in and out with the air itself. these menacing beasts are invisible and quietly continue to hum as they phase in and out of that stretch of jungle.**
**each of the trucks ride up right behind the tail of Steingarten's truck. the chilly summer air peeking out from the dense white mist is quietly pierced as the trio of hunters stare out their cabin window.**
Bill Steingarten: "Targus, shoot them from the side now. Take those bastrds out if you have to shoot to kill. The body is what Biosyn wants, not the rest!"
**A switch quietly is heard clicking in the background as they drive through the gate. An old machine begins to play a very eerie recording of John Hammond's voice.**
**John Hammond's Voice: "And that young strapping lad I met, Harold Greenwood I remember was his name. A nice fellow and former Green Beret..He insisted to stay at the Island, we always love to welcome a guest."**
**two raptors suddenly slice into the window of Steingarten's truck, dragging the passenger out in the open and into their jaws. the pair begin ripping the victims apart with both claws.**
Targus: "I have this one in sight, Bill! Just wait, we're on the right path now..."
**targus shouts in the chilled summer air as he fires both shotgun rounds into two of the raptors. a third one tears into the side of Targus's jeep, and into his partner's jeep two clicks north.**
**marissa's jeep suddenly closes in on the road up ahead and escalates up the small incline. it bumps and rattles, shocking the hunters and tossing jerry to the side window.**
**the third and fourth raptors pop up out of nowhere alongside the truck, and begin pulling the victims out and dining on the driver.**
Marissa: "AHHHHHHHHHH! BILL, oh sh- someone help me!" **marissa screams as suddenly the jeep is split in half, with jerry and her being torn to pieces. the driver two clicks west looks on in abject horror as body chunks fly across the road.**
Steingarten: "NOOOOOO! MARISSA! JERRY! TARGUS!...How could I be talked into this..."
Steingarten: "Curse this hellish place, my friends...My allies are all dead!.."
Rich Ames: "I'll take care of them...just keep the jeeps steady."
**the third hunter and his partner take out three bola snare rifles and begin shooting them at the pack of raptors. all three of the raptors explode on impact. suddenly, four more raptors seemingly appear out of nowhere. the cold silence ends as the bi-pedal killers emerge ripping their prey apart**
**the raptors phase in and three huge claw marks combine on both sides of Targus's jeep. while slowly moving up a high hill incline, the jeep is flipped upside down. out of nowhere, a large pair of jaws appears over Targus's head. The three hunters are dragged from their jeeps screaming by something invisible, which tears Targus to pieces, leaving only small cuts of flesh on the ground.**
Rich Ames: "AuuugghHHH!" **rich screams as 3 claws perce his stomach, tearing him in half**
Rich Ames and Targus both: "AGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" **both of them are ripped apart off screen as the jeep finally careens off the road, exploding near the Carnotaurus viewing spot.**
Steingarten: "Oh geezuz why does it always have to be the big ones. They killed marissa and jerry right in front of me while I stood there, frozen...I should've hired better help for this lil' rendesvous..." **steingarten finally screams as a raptor tears into his chest, as his chiseled beard quietly turns red and the audience is left to assume he's now nothing but an aftertaste.**
**Carnotaurus' roar is heard and two large shadowed feet are seen stepping over where Steingarten once stood as well as what remains of their equipment.**
**cut to scene where a bloody hand emerges from under the wreckage. it is steingarten's hand, dragging himself bloody and broken across the white sheet rock.**
**steingarten gets on his satellite phone.** Steingarten: "Bloody awful hell I've lost them all...Hey Regis, Cook, I found your bounty prize that Biosyn won't stop killing everybody over."
Nathaniel Regis: "Ah good, Bill. How soon can I collect my trophy?"
Steingarten: "...***vomits**..I think...you are going to need to offer me a lot more extra incentive for this job." ***There's a dilemma out here. All of my soldiers are already dead, and noone else arose out of the wreckage...***
Nathaniel Regis: "It is all fine for now. You did well Bill, I'll send in some wet teams to bail your bacon out of the fire. I have tracers on all the embryos I need- especially the Carnotaurus..."
*****fade out to the rain and hail continuing to splatter and thrust down upon Isla Muerta and Isla Nublar, as they zoom out quietly to a higher panoramic view. Site C has been found.*****
