Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Film Transcript

Jurassic World Lagoon
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. Up top we can see the underwater lights of the submarine as it goes through. Back underweater. 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. As they proceed forward 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 bones, and uses a large saw to 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.

Main Street
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.

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.

Jurassic World Lagoon
The helicopter locates the 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.

Main Street
Back in the campsite, Jack, alone, contacts the submarine.

JACK Marine One, I gotta close the gates. Get outta there.

Jurassic World Lagoon
Underwater, the two men in the sub prepare to depart.

SUB PILOT Understood. We're headin' out.

The submarine backs up... right into the waiting mouth of the Mosasaurus! Up top, we see the underwater light disappear.

Main Street
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 Marine 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 Marine One? Guys?

The mercenaries' leader, however, is concerned about something else.

LEAD MERCENARY What is that?

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 Marine One, I'm closing the gates.

Jurassic World Lagoon
The lagoon gates begin to shut.

Main Street
Jack's device announces that they're 20% closed.

JACK Seriously, guys, I'm kind of exposed out here. Marine One.

Behind him, the men in the helicopter are shouting.\

HELICOPTER MERC #1 Look behind you!

JACK (ignoring them) Confirm your route! Marine One!

HELICOPTER MERC #2 Jack!

JACK Confirm your position! Marine 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.

HELICOPTER MERC #1 Come on!

HELICOPTER MERC #2 Look behind you!

HELICOPTER MERC #3 Behind you!

Jack still doesn't understand.

JACK I can't reach them!

HELICOPTER MERC #2 Come on!

He can't hear them over the storm and the roar of the helicopter blades.

JACK What?

In a flash of lightning, we see the Tyrannosaurus rex moving through the trees behind him. Jack turns, but only sees darkness. He turns back to the waiting chopper.

JACK What is goin' on? I can't hear you!

Suddenly, thunder rumbles. Jack stiffens and turns, screaming as he sees the T. rex in another bright flash of lightning. She roars at him. He runs. The helicopter lifts off in a panic. The T. rex smashing through the machinery operating the lagoon gates.

Jurassic World Lagoon
The gates stop closing.

Main Street
As he runs down the street, Jack throws down his handheld device and the T. rex steps on it. The gates are stuck at only 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.

HELICOPTER MERC #2 Throw him the ladder.

The mercenary with the ladder complies, dropping it down. However, as the copter is in motion, the frantically running Jack is forced to chase after his salvation 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.

JACK Nooooo!

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 water.

JACK No, wait! Don't go! Aahhh!

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 for dear life. 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 mercenary who'd thrown the ladder pulls a knife.

HELICOPTER PILOT Do it, John!

HELICOPTER MERC #2 We're gonna die here!

The mercenary with the knife begins trying to cut the ladder - and Jack - free to save the chopper. The third 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! Don't! I don't wanna die!

Suddenly, the section of the ladder the Tyrannosaur has in her mouth snaps free, and the helicopter is allowed to continue unimpeded across the lagoon. She roars in fury at the departing aircraft. The mercenaries, including Jack, all laugh and cheer.

JACK Yeah!

HELICOPTER MERC #3 Yeah!

HELICOPTER MERC #1 Come on!

Suddenly the Mosasaurus leaps up and grabs Jack in her mouth, biting the ladder in half. She drops back down underweater and begins swimming towards the halfway closed gate. In the helicopter, the two mercenaries who fought over whether or not to cut the ladder look stunned and horrified. The second of the three turns to the I. rex bone, enclosed in a glass tube in a big carrying case. He presses a button and it becomes illuminated with red light, and then he shuts the case.

HELICOPTER MERC #2 DNA sample secured. Tell the boss we're comin' back home.

The helicopter zooms off across the water, leaving the island, as the Mosasaur swims through the gate into the open sea...
