The Lost World

Thorne spots the cage but cannot tell whether Arby is alive. Not waiting to check, he lifts the cage and heads back to the Jeep. The raptors are alerted—and when Thorne guns the engine, they give chase. Levine quickly dispatches one raptor that manages to cling to the frame of the cage. The Jeep speeds off. Thorne radios Sarah that they are heading to the trailer. They hear a very weak Arby from the cage telling them he is alright. But Thorne is worried—they need to get gas in the abandoned worker village.

The raptors chase the Jeep. Levine tries to fend them off with his rifle, but the animals are in a frenzy. They jump at the Jeep, and one manages to land in the Jeep. Levine thinks they are doomed when without warning the snarling raptor suddenly foams at the mouth and falls off. Levine sees Sarah and Kelly on the motorcycle alongside the Jeep; Kelly lowers her rifle. The two vehicles keep moving to the trailer, but the raptors are still in pursuit. As they approach the trailer, the raptors fall behind. Now, Thorne notices, Sarah’s motorcycle is gone.

Sarah and Kelly veer off and have arrived at the trailer to get Malcolm. Malcolm is still loopy from the morphine, and the raptors are regrouping even as Sarah and Kelly scour the trailer for any weapons. Malcolm is little help. Sarah uncovers boxes labeled with warnings. Inside she finds a cache of bomb cubes of cholinesterase, a potent chemical able to briefly paralyze large animals. Determined to get them out of the trailer and to rendezvous with the Jeep, Sarah tosses one of the cubes out into the pack of snarling raptors. She gathers Kelly and Malcolm, and they head to the motorcycle. The bodies of paralyzed raptors are strewn everywhere, including a heavy one draped over the motorcycle. Sarah and Kelly lift it off and even as the raptors begin to revive, the three head to the workers’ village.

The motorcycle pulls up to a convenience store with gas pumps. The team reunites in the store. Thorne tells them the helicopter will be on the island in two hours, but the rendezvous site is too far to reach without gas. Levine, overcome by the raptor chase, panics. Thorne knows they need to find fuel. He volunteers to go out and check the pumps despite fears over the raptor pack. He finds the pumps are empty. He knows there must be storage sheds with fuel tanks stored in them. He follows a trail and comes to a shed marked with flammable signs. He pushes open the door but finds the dozens of rusted fuel drums empty. He hears animals sounds and glimpses through the window two large shadows.

Sarah shines light onto the dinosaurs, and she and Levine are stunned to see the dinosaurs change their skin patterns to camouflage against the light like chameleons. Although Levine is amazed by the discovery, Sarah understands that Thorne is now in trouble. They come out of the store swinging heavy-duty flashlights. The light confuses the dinosaurs, and they shuffle off.

Thorne points out they still need gas. The rendezvous with the helicopter is now less than an hour away. Sarah suggests that perhaps the fuel tanks on the trailer that went over the cliff might not have ruptured. 

In the dim light of the approaching dawn, Thorne and Levine watch helplessly as two angry maiasaurs rip apart the Jeep they left by the fuel pumps. They tip over the Jeep, and Levine sees two Styrofoam cases spill open revealing halves of cracked eggs and two tiny dinosaurs. The dinosaurs scoop up the babies and leave.

The Jeep is wrecked. Thorne mentions how the Ford Explorer would be nice but that it had died. Sarah asks whether the vehicle had a circuit breaker that might restore power. It was their only chance. She climbs on the motorcycle and heads to where the Explorer died. They only have 20 minutes to rendezvous with the helicopter.

Dodgson wakes in the shed. He is thirsty and stumbles toward a streambed. He trips as he approaches the stream and finds a radio pack. He turns it on and hears the tail-end of a conversation between Thorne and Sarah about heading toward the Explorer. After tense moments of radio silence, Sarah checks in with Thorne to tell him the Explorer is surrounded by a herd of dinosaurs.

Sarah swings up to the tree above the Explorer planning to drop down on its roof and climb in. The dinosaurs detect her presence and throw themselves against the tree’s trunk. Sarah is jarred off the branch and drops to the ground. Instinctively, she slides under the vehicle. While under the car, she checks the circuit breaker. It had been installed backwards; she fixes it.

Back at the store, Kelly plays around with one of the cash registers and accidentally flips it on. It requests a password. She pats down Arby (who is sleeping) and finds the paper with his password on it; she uses it and gets into the system. It is In-Gen’s entire file archive. She switches on the system’s network of cameras on the island and quickly finds the Explorer but does not see Sarah.

Under the Explorer, Sarah notices the dinosaurs have become suddenly quiet and then start to run. Why? She is chilled when she sees a pair of mud-encrusted boots approach the Explorer. It is Dodgson, the man who tried to kill her in the boat. As Dodgson begins to open the door, Sarah pulls at the boots and Dodgson falls to the ground. She hears growling and feels the ground vibrate. A T. Rex approaches. Terrified, Dodgson shimmies underneath the Explorer with Sarah.

Without hesitating, Sarah braces herself and pushes Dodgson back out from under the car. The T. Rex drags him off. Sarah waits for the sound of the kill—the great jaws clamping down—but she hears nothing. The dinosaur heads into the jungle with Dodgson struggling in its jaws. Sarah does not wait for an explanation. She crawls out from under the Explorer and starts up the car. Even as she drives off, she can hear the distant sound of the approaching helicopter.

As Sarah heads to the landing site to rendezvous with the helicopter to tell them to wait, Levine is nervous. With daylight approaching, all the predators, most notably the raptors, will come out to feed. When Sarah reaches the landing site, she is too late. She watches helplessly as the chopper departs the island.

She radios back the bad news. Kelly folds up the sheet of paper with Arby’s password and finds on the back a printout of In-Gen’s facilities on the island. On the list is BOATHOUSE. She shows it to Thorne, but Thorne has no idea where the boathouse would be or whether there would be a boat in it. Searching the archives in the computer, Kelly and Thorne find images of the boathouse and a map just as the raptors prowling outside break down the store’s flimsy doors.

Sarah, heading back to the convenience store, sees off to the side of the road the T. Rex still carrying Dodgson alive in its jaws. She keeps driving.

With raptors now threatening the store, Kelly knows time is running out. She notices the stout cable coming out of the computer and going into the floor. She realizes there must be a crawlspace under the store. She yells to the others. She pries up the door in the floor and, just as the raptors break into the store, the team heads into the crawlspace.

The team makes its way through the narrow concrete shaft, ignoring the welter of rats around them. The tunnel ends at a small utility building. By the time they each get out of the crawlspace, Sarah is riding up in the Explorer. They head down the main road until they see a sign pointing them to the boathouse.

The tyrannosaur drops Dodgson from its jaws. He struggles to figure out where he is. He is on a muddy slope. He is aware there are several tiny dinosaurs looking at him. He starts to climb up and out when the T. Rex lowers its head and casually bites off his leg. He is immobilized. Quickly he is swarmed by the tiny dinosaurs who begin to feed on him.
