JURASSIC WORLD: REGENESIS 1 INT. JURASSIC WORLD LAGOON – NIGHT Underwater. A submarine approaches the gates of the Jurassic World Lagoon. It pauses. After a moment, the gates begin opening and the sub goes through. EXT. JURASSIC WORLD LAGOON – NIGHT W e can see the underwater lights of the submarine as it goes through. INT. SUBMARINE – NIGHT Back underwater. The SUB PILOT is calm, but the TECH OPERATOR sitting beside him is nervous and sweating. SUB PILOT Relax. Anything in here'd be dead by now. The tech operator isn't reassured. SUB PILOT I’m serious. T here’s n o way that the Mosasaurus would still be alive down here. The SONAR didn’t show anything As they proceed forwa rd along the lagoon bottom, they come upon the skeleton of the Indominus rex illuminated in the submarine's lights. SUB PILOT There she is. The Indominus rex. The tech operator uses claw on the end of a mechanical arm to grab one of the skeleton's rib bone s, and uses a large saw to JURASSIC WORLD: REGENESIS 2 cut it loose. The claw detaches from the arm and a balloon inflates, carrying the claw, clutching the bone, to the surface with a beeping beacon. Lightning flashes above and we see a dark shadow. EXT. MAIN STREET – NIGHT A thunderstorm is raging. Jurassic World has seen better days. Everything is run down and overgrown with weeds and plants. In a small campsite on Main Street, JACK , a mercenary , works on the machinery controlling the lagoon doors. He's wearing a headset and has a handheld device of some sort. A Bell UH - 1H - BF Iroquois helicopter sits behind him with the engine running, rotor blades spinning. Sitting up front are the helicopter pilot and the lead mercenary Three more mercenaries are riding in back. SUB PILOT (through Jack's headset) Specimen collected. Sent to the surface. JACK Roger that. He turns to the waiting chopper. JACK Air One, cleared for takeoff. begin tracking. HELICOPTER PILOT (through Jack's headset) Copy that. JURASSIC WORLD: REGENESIS 3 JACK Go, go! HELICOPTER PILOT (through Jack's headset) Tracking on. The helicopter lifts off and flies away. As he watches the aircraft leave, Jack is startled by something moving in the bushes off to his left. We hear a familiar hoot. EXT. LAGOON SURFACE – NIGHT The helicopter locates t he balloon attached to the I. rex bone. HELICOPTER PILOT Land One, the asset is secure. We got what we came for. Comin' back for you. Close the doors. EXT. MAIN STREET – NIGHT Back in the campsite, Jack, alone, contacts the submarine. JACK Nautical One, I go tta close the gates. Get outta there. INT. JURASSIC WORLD LAGOON - NIGHT Underwater, the two men in the sub prepare to depart. SUB PILOT Understood. We're headin' out. JURASSIC WORLD: REGENESIS 4 The submarine backs up... right into the waiting mouth of the MOSASAURUS ! Up top, we see t he underwater light disappear. EXT. MAIN STREET - NIGHT In the mercenaries' camp, Jack's handheld device is beeping belligerently at him, telling him the sub's signal has been lost. He is concerned. JACK Nautical One , I need to close the gates. Confirm position. The helicopter lands behind him. The helicopter pilot is also concerned and attempting to contact the sub. HELICOPTER PILOT Nautical One ? Guys? The mercenaries' leader, however, is concerned about something else. LEAD MERCENARY What is th at? Through the rain - streaked windshield, he and the pilot can see something huge moving through the trees towards the camp - and Jack, who continues obliviously attempting to contact the submarine. JACK Nautical One , I'm closing the gates. JURASSIC WORLD: REGENESIS 5 CUT TO: EXT. JURASSIC WORLD LAGOO N - NIGHT The lagoon gates begin to shut. CUT TO : EXT MAIN STREET - NIGHT Jack's device announces that they're 20% closed. JACK Seriously, guys, I'm kind of exposed out here. Nautical One Behind him, the men in the helicopter are shouting. HELICOPTER MERC #1 Look behind you! JACK ( not hearing them) Confirm your route! Nautical One ! HELICOPTER MERC #2 Jack! JACK Confirm your position! Nautical One , where are you! He finally looks at the helicopter. The other mercenaries are frantically gesturing and pointing at the treeline behind where he's working. JURASSIC WORLD: REGENESIS 6 HELICOPTER MERC #3 (making "come here" motions) Come on! HELICOPTER MERC #1 (pointing) Look behind you! HELICOPTER MERC #2 Behind you! Jack still doesn't understand. JACK I can't reach them! HELICOPTER MERC #3 Come on! He can't hear them over the storm and the roar of the helicopter blades. JACK What? A medium - sized theropod sprints out of the foliage, hooting frantically. A pair of large crests adorn its head -- it’s a DILOPHOSAURUS. JACK Holy shit! JURASSIC WORLD: REGENESIS 7 Jack backs away as t he Dilophosaurus retreats. In a flash of lightning, we see the hornlet - adorned head of a big theropod moving through the trees behind Jack There is a distant BELLOW He turns back, shaking now , but only sees darkness. He turns back to the waiting chopper. S uddenly, thunder rumbles. Jack stiffens and turns, screaming as he sees the Tyrannosaurus rex i n another bright flash of lightning. She roars at him , and h e runs. The helicopter lifts off in a panic. The T. rex smashing through the machinery operating the lagoon gates. CUT TO: EXT. JURASSIC WORLD LAG OON - NIGHT The gates keep closing , but slow down. CUT TO: EXT MAIN STREET - NIGHT As he runs down the street, Jack throws down his handheld device and the T. rex steps on it. The gates are now 54% closed. JACK Don't go! The men in the helicopter watch Jack running underneath them in the chopper's spotlight. One of them holds a coiled - up rescue ladder. JURASSIC WORLD: REGENESIS 8 INT. HELICOPTER CABIN - NIGHT HELICOPTER MERC #3 Throw him the ladder! The mercenary with the ladder complies, dropping it down. However, as the copter is in motion EXT MAIN STREET - NIGHT T he frantically running Jack is forced to chase after his salvat ion with the hungry Tyrannosaurus hot on his heels. Each time he grabs for it, he misses. JACK Don't go! Aahhh! Oh no! An overturned pickup truck blocks his path. He runs around it. The T. rex simply flips it out of her way with her snout , and BELLOWS again JACK Nooooo! EXT. JURASSIC WORLD LAGOON The helicopter is over the lagoon now, at the spot where the Mosasaurus broke through the guardrail and grabbed the Indominus rex. The ladder now hangs in the wat er. JACK No, wait! Don't go! Aahhh! JURASSIC WORLD: REGENESIS 9 He desperately leaps through the broken section of the guardrail and grabs the ladder. The T. rex bites at him and misses. Jack is relieved as the chopper begins to lift up, laughing. JACK Aw, yeah! Suddenly the ladder jerks and he slips down several rungs. He looks down. The Tyrannosaurus has bitten the end of the ladder and is pulling, jerking her head from side to side in an effort to pull the helicopter from the sky. Jack is caught in the middle, hanging on fo r dear life. INT. HELICOPTER CABIN In the chopper, alarms are going off. The mercenaries' leader yells back to his men. LEAD MERCENARY We're gonna stall! Cut it now! The first mercenary - the one who'd thrown the ladder - pulls a knife. HELICOPTER PILOT Do it, John! HELICOPTER MERC #3 We're gonna die here! JURASSIC WORLD: REGENESIS 10 The mercenary with the knife begins trying to cut the ladder - and Jack - free to save the chopper. The second mercenary grabs his wrist, attempting to stop him. They struggle with one another. Meanwhile, Jack continues screaming. LEAD MERCENARY I said cut it! JACK DON'T DO IT! HELP! THAT'S HORRIBLE! I DON'T WANNA DIE! The Tyrannosaurus is dragged along by the helicopter , but successfully pulls off the bottom rungs and stops just short of the lagoon’s edge. She SHAKES her head, dislodging the ladder, and lets out a final ROAR JACK Yeah! HELICOPTER MERC #2 Yeah! HELICOPTER MERC #1 Come on! HELICOPTER MERC # 2 DNA sample secured. Tell the boss w e're comin' back home. EXT. JURASSIC WORLD LAGOON The helicopter zooms off across the water, leaving the island... but the camera pans down, and we see the immense JURASSIC WORLD: REGENESIS 11 form of the Mosasaurus barely squeezing through the closing gate. Title Card: J U R A S S I C W O R L D: R E G E N E S I S We FADE IN to a n ews feed PHILIPPA THOMAS (voiceover) Three years after the fall of Jurassic World, the debate over Isla Nublar rages on. PHILIPPA THOMAS (voiceover) The island's long dormant volcano, reclassified as active, has shown considerable unrest in recent months. G eologists have lately found that the volcano’s reserves of magma are being depleted, and that the slightest disturbance will cause it to collaps e in to a caldera The ensuing geological events will leave Isla Nublar sterile. PHILIPPA THOMAS (voiceover) Since the disaster that shocked the world in 2015, the Masrani Corporation has paid out more than $800 million in damages to settle class action lawsuit s brought by survivors. PHILIPPA THOMAS (voiceover) Activist groups have mobilized around the globe, in what has JURASSIC WORLD: REGENESIS 12 become the flashpoint animal rights issue of our time. As the dinosaurs on Isla Sorna were relocated for Jurassic World, the dinosaurs on Isla Nublar are, as far as anyone is aware, the last dinosaurs left alive on Planet Earth. INT. U.S. CAPITOL - DAY IAN MALCOLM (Chuckling to himself) Here I am, talking about dinosaurs again. Feels like I never left. Senator, to answer your question, I , of course, think... that we should allow our... magnificent, glorious dinosaurs, to be taken out by the volcano. There is muttering in the audience SENATOR SHERWOOD Silence, please. IAN MALCOLM As deeply sad as that would be. We altered the course of na tural history. This is the correction. SENATOR SHERWOOD Are you suggesting the Almighty is taking matters in His own hands? IAN MALCOLM Senator, with all due respect, God's not ... part of the equation. No. What I mean is that, in the last century, we amas sed a landmark technological power. And we've consistently JURASSIC WORLD: REGENESIS 13 proven ourselves incapable of handling that power. 80 years ago, who could've predicted nuclear proliferation? But then, there it was. And now, we've got genetic power. So ... How long is it gonna take for that to spread around the globe and, what's gonna be done with it? It ain't gonna stop with the de - extinction of the dinosaurs. SENATOR SHERWOOD I'm not sure I know what you're talking about. IAN MALCOLM I'm talking about... man - made, cataclysmic, change. SENATOR SHERWOOD What kind of change? IAN MALCOLM Change is like death. You don't know what it looks like until you're standing at the gates. RICHARD LEVINE You don’t seem to understand that these are just animals. Big , aggressive animals, sure, b ut animals nonetheless. Animals are not typically the hyper - aggressive beings they are characterized have. They have the same emotions as we do, even if some of them are incapable of expressing or contemplating said emotions. IAN MALCOLM JURASSIC WORLD: REGENESIS 14 With respect, Y our H onor , I wouldn’t listen to someone with a world - wide reputation for being a pain in the ass Senator Sherwood sighs and shakes his head. RICHARD LEVINE *Mocking* With respect, I wouldn’t listen to someone clearly biased towards the eradicati on of dinosaurs. Maybe try someone they haven’t tried to eat IAN MALCOLM Now, Dr. Levine , I’m sure you haven’t forgotten about the San Diego Incident of 1997? In which a fully - grown male Tyrannosaurus rex rampaged through the city of San Diego, resulting the deaths of seven innocent people? RICHARD LEVINE No, no I’m well aware of the San Diego Incident — IAN MALCOLM And the Jurassic World Incident, which , may I remind you, resulted in the deaths of 25 civilians and countless personnel? RICHARD L EVINE These are still animals. I maintain that they have the same rights as any other species on this planet. IAN MALCOLM JURASSIC WORLD: REGENESIS 15 Then you’re badly deluded. RICHARD LEVINE The way I see it is this — since humans recklessly created these dinosaurs, it is our responsibility to take care of them. Our best option is to place them on an island separated from mainland. IAN MALCOLM (Raising his voice) That’s exactly what the first pa rk was meant to do, and look at what happened ! They tried to control nature. But they cut corners. They cut corners, and it all came crashing down around them. SENATOR SHERWOOD Order! IAN MALCOlM and RICHARD LEVINE continue arguing as we FADE IN : INT. D PG HEADQUARTERS, SAN FRANCISCO - DAY The scene changes to CLAIRE DEARING , holding a few coffees. The elevator door i s open, but only slightly. She squeezes through, and the doors finally open correctly once she's out fully. ZIA As a matter of fact, I do have the dinosaurs' best interests in mind. I'm a paleo - veterinarian JURASSIC WORLD: REGENESIS 16 WOMAN ON THE PHONE Is that a real thing? ZIA * She nods, smiling * That's a real thing WOMAN ON PHONE You've seen one? ZIA No , not yet. I’ve researched the available biological , physiological and pharmacological data, though, so — and I hate to boas t — I technically know more about these animals than almost anyone else alive. ZIA *She beckons Claire over* Claire? CLAIRE Hello, hello, um... Congresswoman Delgado, I'm Claire, the lead organizer in here. CLAIRE Of course, but if I can just get a moment of your time? The woman on the phone agrees. Claire highfives Zia. FRANKLIN * To Zia* That was like 40 seconds. You're getting better. JURASSIC WORLD: REGENESIS 17 ZIA You gotta stop letti ng your mom shop for you. FRANKLIN You don't need to insult me every time someone pisses you off. ZIA Dude. I'm a doctor. Not a telemarketer. What is your job again? You plug in cords, right? FRANKLIN It's actually more important than it sounds. Besides, I’ve watched enough Star Trek to know where you got that from. CLAIRE Can I ask you a question? WOMAN Go on. CLAIRE Do you have kids? WOMAN Two girls. CLAIRE Okay, so your kids, An entire generation has grown up in a world where dinosaurs are liv ing and breathing. But soon you're gonna have to watch them go extinct. Or not. If people like you make a difference. JURASSIC WORLD: REGENESIS 18 There is confused muttering from the other side of the phone. CLAIRE What do you mean, they could just look at photos of dinosaurs in pict ures? These are animals! More muttering. CLAIRE What do Tasmanian tigers have to do with this? These are dinosaurs — I mean, animals ! FRANKLIN *To Zia* You think she’s lost that one? ZIA *Ignoring Franklin, looking at TV* Claire, it’s on! SENATOR SHERWOOD ...take preventative action to protect the dinosaurs on Isla Nublar. After thorough deliberations, the committee has resolved not to recommend any legislative action regarding the de - extinct organisms on Isla Nublar. This is an act of God, and whi le of course, we feel great sympathy for these animals, government involvement would use up too many valuable resources. While we will rescue some species — the indigenous population of tufted deer, for instance — de - extinct dinosaurs are not covered by United States Government legislation. JURASSIC WORLD: REGENESIS 19 Claire turns off the TV. CLAIRE They're all gonna die and no one cares. A voice speaks up. It's Franklin. FRANKLIN We do. CLAIRE Give me one second. Let's get back to work. Okay everyone. Come on. She walks over to her desk, and picks up her ringing phone. CLAIRE Hello? IRIS CAROLL May I speak with Ms. Dearing? CLAIRE Yes, this is CLAIRE IRIS CAROLL Good morning. I'm calling from Mr. Norman Atherton 's estate. Would you mind holding for a second? CLAIRE: * Amazed and sur prised * Yes, of course. I'll hold. CUT TO: JURASSIC WORLD: REGENESIS 20 EXT. ATHERTON MANOR - DAY The scene cuts to a car driving up to the manor. We soon get to see CLAIRE step out of her car. She walks up to the door, and it opens, revealing Iris. IRIS CAROLL Ms. Dearing, you're early. Would you like to step in? CLAIRE Thank you. IRIS CAROLL I will inform Mr. Mills that you've arrived. She walks away. Claire walks around, looking at the portaits of men, and she stops. She looks at John Hammond's, and she walked over to it, before hearing a voice. ELI MILLS John Alfred Hammond. The father of Jurassic Park. But of course, you know that. He walks down the stairway towards Clai re. ELI MILLS Hello, Claire, I'm, I'm Eli Mills. I work for Norman Atherton We actually met once, 7 - 8 years ago, and you don't remember...
