Jurassic: the Series
Episode 1 - "That's No Lion"
A herd of zebras are bordering a jungle entrance. They are grazing in the open plain around a watering hole. Some are eating, some are drinking, and some are resting. But suddenly, something in the jungle grabs the attention of a zebra. It stares into the tree line. The zebra stands almost frozen. A few moments pass by, and more zebras begin looking in the direction of the jungle. The tree line begins to move and the zebras bolt off as if they are running for their lives.
~End of Scene~
Lara Matthews is at her place of work, the San Diego zoo. She is standing up above the gorilla enclosure, studying their actions. Behind her, she has a radio sitting on a stand. The broadcast is announcing that it is the 1 year anniversary of the events at the now defunct theme park, Jurassic World. Along with the broadcast, it is also announced that the United Nations has restricted any access to Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna.
Zoo tech: "Lara, you've been at these new studies for days. When are you going to call it?"
Lara turns and looks curious.
Lara: "Call it? I've learned so much about their intelligence since the Isla Nublar incident. Velociraptors were known to be the smartest animal to have ever existed before man. Comparing the knowledge of primates to them, it's astounding how much an extinct reptile would think like a primate such as a gorilla, a chimpanzee, or even us, humans!"
The zoo tech laughs and shakes his head.
Zoo tech: "Dinosaurs have been extinct for over 65 million years! Give it up Lara, people are going to start thinking you're crazy."
Lara: "They're not extinct anymore.."
Lara goes back to her studies as the tech rolls his eyes and walks off. Meanwhile, a woman arrives at the zoo. She is dressed in formal business attire with blacked out sun glasses. She makes her way through the zoo and enters the workers only areas. The zoo tech that was just talking with Lara stops the mysterious woman.
Zoo tech: "Excuse me... Ma'am. You can't be back here. This is for employees only, and if could be dangerous, we transport our animals to their enclosures through this area."
The woman flashes a badge and the tech focuses in on it.
Zoo tech: "Okay... So you work for a very rich guy. Why should I care?"
?: "You don't. But Lara Matthews does."
The tech looks confused but he complies with her request.
Zoo tech: "You know... You're just as weird as Lara. C'mon, I'll take you to her. She might want to share her oddness with you."
He laughs as he motions for her to follow him. The tech arrives with the mystery woman, Lara is still doing her studies. But she hears the tech arrive behind her.
Lara: "What's wrong? I thought these studies were too crazy for you."
Lara puts her things down and turns around to see the tech with the woman.
Zoo tech: "Lara, this woman wishes to speak with you. If you ask me, she might just be crazier than you!"
The tech walks off leaving Lara with the mystery woman.
?: "Ms. Matthews, my name is Farrah Butler. I work for the South African reserve that is owned by a very wealthy and curious individual."
Lara: "Mitchell Wolf!? Are you talking about THE Mitchell Wolf?"
Farrah: "Correct Ms. Matthews. And he needs your help."
Lara has a surprised look on her face.
Lara: "My help? Why would he ever need someone like me?"
Farrah: "Because like you... He has a common interest. Come with me and you will understand everything."
Lara looks really puzzled but very interested at Farrah.
~End of Scene~
Somewhere in Montana, Dr. Ethan Miller is instructing his students. They are uncovering the fossils of an allosaurus.
Ethan: "And this folks... This is what a real dinosaur looks like."
Bobby White: "Doctor! What about the dinosaurs on Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna? What about those ones? How about the Indominus Rex!?"
Ethan shakes his head and laughs.
Ethan: "You're talking about InGen Bobby. The company that comprised of living, breathing, real life Dr. Frankensteins."
Bobby: "Sooooooo what you're saying is, the dinosaurs living on the two islands mean nothing? C'mon doc! They have a T-Rex on one of those islands!"
Ethan: "Bobby... If you would like to break world wide law and become breakfast for a Tyrannosaurus rex, be my guest! Until then, we'll study them the correct way."
The group of students laugh as Bobby lets out a sarcastic chuckle.
Ethan: "Now, if you look here, the allosaurus wasn't as large as a rex or a spinosaurus, but it kept its place high in the food chain. Can someone tell me why?"
Brittany Bennett puts her hand up to answer ans Ethan points her out.
Brittany: "The allosaurus managed to hold its own because it had size to go along with great agility. It's bite wasn't as strong as something like a tyrannosaurus, but it got the job done."
Ethan: "That is correct Ms. Bennett. So who else can tell me-"
Something catches Ethan's attention. Farrah Butler.
Ethan: "Class, cover up the bones. We'll finish this topic later."
Ethan begins making his way to Farrah. Brittany and Bobby both take interest and watch as Ethan has a conversation with Farrah. As their conversation finishes, Ethan shakes Farrah's hand and she walks away. Brittany and Bobby approach him.
Bobby: "Hot date doc?"
Ethan: "You know, you two are my favorite students. We have here the intelligent, never stops studying, and we have the highly interested but very wild. Tell me, how would you two like to take a trip."
~End of Scene~
A small jet is landing on a dirt make shit run way. The location is South Africa. The stair way opens up and Ethan steps out with Brittany and Bobby. A small convoy of land rovers is waiting for them.
Bobby: "Wow! I feel like the president!"
Ethan: "Yeah... Just wait until you see what's next."
Farrah steps out of one of the vehicles and greets the three. They get into the vehicle and drive off. After traveling a few miles, they arrive at a small town. More so a village. At the end of the village is a large building. A sign out front reads "Wolf Safari Reserve & Tours." Farrah leads Ethan, Brittany, and Bobby into the building. The sites of the surroundings are incredible. Farrah leads the three into a conference room. Lara is sitting at that table. She immediately recognizes who Ethan is and she stands up out of her seat.
Lara: "Ethan Miller? Doctor Ethan Miller?"
Ethan: "Yes. And might you be?"
Lara: "Lara. Lara Matthews. I'm a zoologist for the San Diego zoo. Since the Isla Nublar incident, I've focused a lot of my studies comparing the intelligence of today's animals with velociraptors."
Ethan bites his lip and nods.
Ethan: "So you're one of those types. Ms. Matthews, what exactly are you doing in South Africa?"
Farrah: "The same reason you are Mr. Miller.."
Everyome turns their attention to Farrah as she enters the room. She is followed by two men. Two armed men.
Farrah: "Forgive me, but these men are to be apart of your team."
Ethan, Brittany, and Bobby all look surprised.
Brittany: "...What is this?'
Bobby: "Yeah I'm with her! What the hell is this doc!?"
Ethan: "What is going on? You told me your people discovered a fossil! You told me you needed my team and I to uncover for you!"
Mitchell Wolf: "She lied to you Dr. Miller."
Wolf enters the room. He is dressed in a formal suit attire. A projector screen lowers and Wolf turns it on. Pictures of different zebras appear. They are savagely clawed and ripped apart.
Ethan: "What the hell is this?"
Lara has a very interested look on her face as she realizes what has done this.
Lara: "Velociraptor..."
Ethan, Bobby, and Brittany shoot her a look.
Bobby: "Wait, excuse me! Did you just say velociraptor? It's not like this is Isla Nublar or Sorna dude!"
Mitchell: "Which is exactly why I started up this little but intelligent team Mr. White!"
Ethan: "No! No, no, no, and no! First off, how would something that is contained to an island with 100s of miles of water surrounding it, magically appear in South Africa?"
Mitchell nods his head and clicks to another picture. The picture depicts a massive foot print.
Lara: "Well it's not a carnivore's..."
Brittany: "Sauropod."
Mitchell: "Correct. We have no confirmed sightings but I can assure you, they're here."
Ethan stands up.
Ethan: "Brittany, Bobby. Get your things!"
Mitchell: "Dr. Miller please. Just listen!"
Ethan: "Listen!? Your people lied to me! This was supposed to be a dig site, not a hunting safari! It's impossible for something like this to even be here!"
Mitchell switches to another picture and doesn't say anything. This picture depicts a dead elephant with a huge chunk taken out of it. Ethan looks at the photo in shock.
Mitchell: "I believe that is enough proof for you Dr. Miller."
~End of Scene~
The meeting has just ended. Ethan, Brittany, and Bobby are in another room. Ethan looks determined to get back on the plane and leave.
Brittany: "Dr. Miller?"
Ethan continues to gather his things as he is preparing to leave.
Brittany: "Dr. Miller!?"
Ethan stops and turns to Brittany and Bobby.
Ethan: "Finish getting your things together. We're leaving."
Brittany: "Not until you tell us why! This opportunity is huge. Not only are we needed to investigate this matter, but if there are real living dinosaurs here, we could open up a whole new frontier of studies!"
Ethan ignores her for the most part and continues to on what he was doing.
Bobby: "Look doc... I'm with Brittany on this one. We want to stay. She's right! All of those bones we're digging out of the ground... We can finally see what they were like... Alive!"
Ethan stops and lets out a sigh.
Ethan: "Look... I won't lie. I don't want to be here, but it's just not the possibility of dinosaurs trying to eat us that makes me want to leave..."
Bobby and Brittany have puzzled looks on their faces.
Ethan: "Farrah-"
The door opens and Farrah is standing there.
Farrah: "Farrah what? Dr. Miller?"
Ethan shakes his head and walks past Farrah to leave the room. Farrah looks at Brittany and Bobby before shutting the door.
~End of Scene~
Mitchell: "You see Ms. Matthews, your theories on raptors may be correct. But if these investigations turn out to be true, then I'm going to have to act accordingly."
Lara: "Yes, that's understandable. But just think about it. Velociraptors and lions, both deadly and such intelligent pack hunters, living together in the same environment. Dinosaurs have been extinct for millions upon millions of years. But now that they're here in South Africa, being able to study them in a natural modern day wildlife environment could unlock a new world for not only the animals, but all of us!"
Mitchell: "I respect your enthusiasm Lara... I do. But you have to understand me when I say that I can't have raptors attacking a safari tour. It's bad for business! Just remember why you're here Ms. Matthews. Investigate the possibilities, and I'll handle the rest."
Lara smiles at Mitchell and gets up to leave when suddenly Farrah walks in. Lara leaves with a look of distrust on her face, but she doesn't let them see it. Farrah shuts the door behind her to meet with Mitchell.
~End of Scene~
Ethan is back at the runway and at the plane. He is carrying luggage from the jeep to the plane. Another jeep pulls up and Mitchell gets out of it. He runs in the direction of Ethan.
Ethan: "Don't even think for a second you can get me to stay Wolf!"
Mitchell: "Dr. Miller, what else do I have to do? I've already funded your whole trip here!"
Ethan: "How about not sending my ex-fiancé, whom I haven't talked to in 5 years. And she magically shows up again, tells me that your people have discovered new remains, but just like 5 years ago, she lied to me! I'm sorry Mr. Wolf, but the answer is still no."
Brittany and Bobby turn out to be on the plane and they walk out to the door.
Mitchell: "The next 6 years..."
Ethan turns and shoots Wolf a look.
Ethan: "What are you talking about?"
Mitchell: "I'll fund your digs for the next 6 years if you stay and help with the investigation. I'm sorry Dr. Miller, I know the past you and Farrah have had, but you were my first and only choice."
Brittany's and Bobby's eyes light up with excitement when they hear Mitchell's offer. Ethan thinks long and hard to himself for a moment.
Ethan: "6 years huh?"
Mitchell: "6 years Dr. Miller. I'm a man of my word."
Ethan grins and they shake hands.
Bobby: "Hell yeah! Dinosaurs!"
Ethan looks back at them and smiles.
~End of Scene~
A native South African tribe has just finished their hunt. They have taken down a massive Cape buffalo. After removing a long spear from their trophy and soon to be meal for the entire tribe. The hunters begin preparations to drag the buffalo back to their village, but a noise in the brush startles the natives. They ready their spears, ready to defend themselves. Suddenly a small lizard dashes out of the brush and runs off. The natives laugh it off thinking it was something else. A large thud is then heard. The hunters turn around and have the look of fear in their eyes as a massive animal stands in front of them. It's about 50 feet long. Maybe 15 feet tall. It's head is massive and its jaw could crush anything it bites down on, it's short arms and 2 clawed hands are the true reveal. The Tyrannosaurus Rex. It lets out a mighty roar and the natives begin running in fear. The Rex charges and a hunter turns to throw his spear but there isn't enough time. The T-Rex rips the native off the ground and clamps its jaws down on him, killing him instantly. The T-Rex devours it's meal while chasing the natives away. They are nearing their village with the Rex hot on their tails. They scream in terror as the other villagers see the tyrant king lizard closing in on their village.
~End of Scene~
Lara steps outside onto the back deck of the Wolf mansion. She looks out into the wilderness. The tree branches are still and the river is calm. She suddenly hears low screams. She looks all around and looks up the river. Two large canoes viciously paddle their way down the river. It's the native villagers. Some of them look badly injured. Lara looks shocked and horrified as she runs to them.
Lara: "What happened!?"
The natives begin trying to explain in their native tongue. Lara doesn't understand what they're saying but she sure does know what what they mean based on their horrified expressions.
Lara: "Stay here! I'm going to get help! I'll be back, I promise!"
Lara runs for help as the natives begin unloading.
~End of Scene~
Medics and native doctors are working together to take care of and aid the injured villagers. A truck pulls up and a large, tall man steps out. He walks up to some of the natives and begins talking with them. Farrah approaches him and they begin talking. She leads him over to where Ethan, Lara, Brittany, and Bobby are.
Farrah: "I would like you to meet Charles Bawa. He heads a warden service on the reserve."
He shakes hands with the each of them.
Chuks: "Friends call me Chuks. We have a situation on our hands don't we?"
Ethan: "What is it? What did the locals tell you?"
Chuks shakes his head in sadness for the villagers.
Chuks: "They said that they were attacked by an animal sent from the gods. It's mouth was full of monstrous teeth that could gulp down someone in a single bite."
Lara: "Did they say what else it was? What else did it look like?"
Chuks: "It's claws. It had 2 claws on each arm, and it's arms were short..."
Bobby: "Wait a minute. That sounds like a T-Rex.. How the hell does one of those go unrecognized?"
Ethan: "I don't know... But we need to find out."
Brittany: "What's our next move?
Ethan: "Isn't it obvious? We need to get into that jungle."
The group looks at each other uneasy. Mitchell and Farrah approach them with the 2 armed men from earlier.
Mitchell: "You can't go into this without protection. This is Felix and Kyle. They will escort you and protect you when deemed necessary."
The group looks uneasy, especially Chuks.
Chuks: "Mr. Wolf, my people can handle this. We know the jungle like the back of our hands. Please, we don't need them."
Felix: "We insist Mr. Bawa. Besides... Who says we don't know the area ourselves?"
Felix walks past Chuks and purposely bumps into him with a smirk in his face.
Kyle: "You'll have to get use to Felix's sense of humor. Don't worry, we'll have your back."
Kyle puts his hand out and Chuks looks hesitant at him but he exchanges a hand shake with him. Kyle follows Felix away to load equipment into their truck.
Lara: "It's time for the adventure of a life time."
Ethan: "Literally... Are you ready for this?"
Lara: "Nope! But what choice do I have?"
Ethan and Lara smile at each other as they prepare to leave. The group gets into their vehicles and drives off. Wolf and Farrah watch from the door step of Wolf's mansion as they drive off.
Farrah: "Do you think this will work?'
Mitchell: "It has to..."
He turns to enter the mansion.
Mitchell: "It has to."
Farrah watches as the vehicles disappear over the ridge.

Jurassic: the Series
Episode 2 - "Welcome to the Jungle"
The team travels down the dirt road in their safari land rovers. In the first truck, it's Ethan, Lara, Brittany, and Bobby riding passenger with Chuks driving. Kyle and Felix are in the truck behind them.
Ethan: "So what's the plan? How far are we from the sightings?"
Chuks: "Not far. The drive should take us about one hour, but first we need to make an unscheduled stop."
Lara: "Unscheduled?"
Chuks smiles and looks back at Lara for a second then turns his attentions back to the roads.
Chuks: "We're stopping by my warden service. We are picking up my cousin and a good friend of mine. They know the jungle terrain like the it's their second home!"
Ethan: "Well that sounds promising."
Lara: "Yeah it certainly can't hurt to have them on board with this. We could definitely use all of the help we can get."
Bobby suddenly speaks up over Lara.
Bobby: "Just as long as these guys know what they're doing, I'm cool! I just don't want to get eaten!"
Ethan turns and shoots Bobby a look as Chuks laughs.
Chuks: "It's okay Dr. Miller. Sometimes tourists like your young student back their tend to be nervous when going on their first adventure."
Bobby: "Nervous!? Who said anything about that?"
Chuks keeps laughing as Bobby looks embarrassed.
Chuks: "Relax Bobby! Have some fun!"
Bobby: "Yeah... Fun."
Bobby cracks a smile.
Chuks: "Well... We're here!"
The veichles come to a stop and everyone starts getting out of the trucks. They have stopped at a small building. And the writing on that building reads "Bawa Warden Services: "Your Protection is Our Duty."
Brittany: "So it sounds like your warden service is pretty much the police around here Mr. Bawa."
Chuks: "As a matter of fact, we are the only form of police like here Brittany. This is South Africa. Sadly we have no true government. Natives and villagers are helpless to rise up against militias of sorts. So myself and my colleagues have taken it up upon ourselves to help out the innoncent anyway we can and please, call me Chuks!"
Brittany nods and smiles.
Brittany: "You seem like a really good person Chuks."
Chuks smiles and nods back.
Chuks: "Well shall we go meet the others?"
Kyle: "Hold up!"
The group turns back to find Kyle and Felix standing by their truck still.
Chuks: "Kyle? Is something wrong?"
Kyle: "Mr. Wolf personally hired Felix and I to be this team's protection. I'm sorry Chuks but we can't have anyone jeopardize this mission."
Chuks: "I assure you, my colleagues know the jungle better than anyone in Africa. I appreciate your concerns Kyle, but trust me on this one."
Kyle slowly nods.
Kyle: "Alright fine. Just make it quick, we're burning daylight."
Kyle and Felix head back to their land rover to wait while the rest of the team enters the building.
~End of Scene~
Back at Wolf's mansion, Farrah is walking through the halls. She enters into a large office where Mitchell Wolf is. He is on the phone.
Wolf: "I understand your worries, but I can assure you a thousand times that my team will solve every question that needs answered. Wait what? That isn't necessary! Investigation? Well that's not even remotely possible..."
Wolf looks up and sees Farrah. He has a slightly annoyed look on his face as he continues his phone conversation.
Wolf: "...When will they arrive? Fine. Good bye..."
Wolf hangs up his phone and gives Farrah a hard look.
Farrah: "What is it?"
Wolf: "That... That was the beginning of a nuisance."
They then exchange curious but frustrated looks.
~End of Scene~
Peter Ross: "Chuks!"
Chuks leads the group up to Peter Ross.
Chuks: "Peter, I would like you to meet the team. This here is Dr. Ethan Miller and his two students, Bobby and Brittany. And this is Lara."
Peter: "Fantastic to meet you. Wait a minute... Where's the other two you told me about. The two army looking guys."
Chuks: "They stayed behind at the trucks. And between us, they don't seem thrilled about you and Barney coming along."
Lara: "They said that you guys would jeopardize the mission."
Peter laughs Lara's comments off.
Peter: "They said that? I seriously wonder how many times those two have been out in something like this. Don't worry about a thing. All of you will be safe with us. We've been in and out of that jungle so many times, I've forgotten the count."
Bobby: "But how many times have you been in there with dinosaurs?"
Barney: "Not until now!"
Chuks: "Everyone, meet my cousin, Barney!"
Barney: "We stopped venturing into the deep and dense areas once we heard that dinosaurs weren't just living on Nublar and Sorna, but in South Africa as well."
Ethan: "So then what is our approach to all of this if you haven't been out there?"
Peter: "We believe that carnivorous dinosaur behaviors act just like our everyday normal predators. They live in the thickness of the jungle, and far in too."
Lara: "But what about the supposed Tyrannosaurus attack on the native village?"
Barney: "It's uncommon for an animal to act like that. Something may have lured it there."
Everyone has a curious look.
Lara: "Lured it? How is that even possible?"
Barney: "The Rex may have been tracking its prey, and whatever it was tracking, unfortunately ended up near that village."
Chuks: "We need to get to the jungle Barney. How soon can you be ready?"
Barney smiles.
Barney: "The truck and equipment is all ready to go. Here look..."
Barney knocks some stuff off of a table and pulls out a map. He has markings all over it.
Barney: "This is the jungle areas in which we'll be investigating. Chuks had me mark down prime locations to either set up camp or investigate."
Ethan: "Well what are we waiting for? Let's get going!"
The team is ready to go. Everyone returns to their veichle. Peter and Barney pull their truck from around the building to lead the others.
Felix: "This should be interesting..."
Kyle doesn't say anything as he shifts their land rover in gear and follows the others.
~End of Scene~
The trucks are traveling on a long dirt road with no signs of villages in site. They are closing in on the jungle. The trucks are communicating through their built in radios.
Barney: "We're 60 miles from the nearest village! There's no turning back now. So we should be seeing your dinosaurs soon, yeah?"
Barney laughs but he suddenly slams the breaks, forcing the other two trucks to do the same. Kyle and Felix are unable to stop fast enough and they slam into the back end of the second truck! The airbags blow, stunning Kyle and Felix. Chuks, Ethan, Lara, Bobby, and Brittany seem to be alright. Barney and Peter pay no attention to the wreck, their eyes are focused soley on what is in front of them. A triceratops and it's two young are crossing the road as they make their way to a watering hole. Everyone begins to get out of the trucks and making sure that they're okay. Barney and Ethan are okay, but Lara, Brittany, and Bobby are shaken up from the crash. As they check on each other, Ethan sees the Triceratops.
Ethan: "Oh my God..."
Everyone sees the trikes and all have the same reaction as Ethan. Barney and Peter remain in their truck still looking stunned as they see the dinosaurs for the first time.
Lara: "Guys look!"
The triceratops family enters the watering hole, but they aren't the only animals. The triceratops join in with a herd of a diverse group of both modern animals and dinosaurs. Zebras, antelopes, giraffes, ankylosauruses, iguanodons, and apatosauruses.
Lara: "This is amazing. I'd never imagine to see something like this."
Ethan: "Despite millions of years of extinction and evolution, they're living amongst each other..."
Kyle and Felix get put of their truck with rifles in hand. Kyle has a cut over his right eye.
Kyle: "Alright, time for us to do our jobs... Stand back."
Lara: "Whoa! No way. These animals won't harm us if we don't harm them!"
Kyle: "I share your enthusiasm Ms. Matthews, but our job is to eliminate potential threats ."
Lara: "And its our job is to investigate and study their behaviors! Now put that thing away before you hurt one of them or worse yet, one of us..."
Kyle looks over at Felix and sees that he has shouldered his rifle. Kyle looks frustrated for a moment but then he too shoulders his rifle.
Chuks: "Kyle, Felix. Are you two alright?"
Kyle: "Yeah... But our truck..."
They look back and see that the whole front end is smashed in. The truck is totaled.
Kyle: "Not so much."
Felix: "So now what?"
They then notice that the second truck's back two tires are blown from the crash.
Ethan: "Well we all can't fit into one truck..."
Chuks: "Someone should take the working land rover back and get word to Wolf. In the mean time, the rest of us should set up camp."
Lara: "Two of us should go. It's not safe for just one of us."
Kyle: "She's right. Felix can stay here and help set up camp and I will go. Who's coming with me?"
Lara: "Me... I'll go."
Ethan: "Lara, are you sure? You're a key piece to these studies."
Lara doesn't want to be the one to go, but she also knows no one else will volunteer and that venturing alone isn't going to be safe.
Lara: "Yeah, I'll be fine. Besides, it's not like the mission is over. We'll head back to the reserve, resupply, and be back with a new truck! Right?"
Lara looks over at Kyle.
Kyle: "That's correct Ms. Matthews. Dr. Miller, I assure you that we will be back ASAP with fresh equipment and a new set of wheels. This mission will go on as planned."
Kyle puts his hand out and Ethan shakes it.
Ethan: "Just try not to get yourselves into trouble or worse yet, eaten."
Kyle: "I spent 7 years in the seals Doctor. We'll be just fine. Lara, you ready?"
Lara: "Yeah... Let's go."
Kyle and Lara head to the truck to leave while the remainder of the team starts setting up camp. Chuks calls to them just as Kyle turns the land rover on. He rolls down the window.
Chuks: "It's going to get dark soon. If you have to, stay put in the nearest village. It will be safe there. Then you can finish your drive in the morning."
Kyle nods and acknowledges. He rolls the window back up and he and Lara drive off.
~End of Scene~
Brittany and Bobby are gathering up branches and sticks for a fire. Felix is with them because they are away from the camp site, but he's standing in the distance from them.
Bobby: "Hey Britt... Does something seem weird to you about this whole mission we're on?"
Brittany: "Like how Dr. Miller's mysterious ex fiance mysteriously shows up at our dig and recruits him?"
Bobby: "No, no. I'm talking about the terminator back there."
Bobby motions towards Felix without him noticing.
Brittany: "Felix has the case of the everyday Monday's. Just because he's quiet and keeps to himself most of the time doesn't mean he is some kind of bad guy."
Bobby: "Haven't you seen the movies!? Kyle, the good and highly respected military guy leaves. And we're left with this psycho. What if he is secretly working for some South African militia or some kind of evil organization?"
Brittany rolls her eyes.
Brittany: "You seriously watch way too many movies..."
Bobby: "Yeah... I hope you're right. But what if he was-"
Felix: "Everything alright?"
Bobby is startled by Felix, whom is just a few feet away now. Brittany and Bobby turn to face him.
Brittany: "Yup! We're just finishing up on gathering the wood!"
Felix: "Good. We should get back to camp. Who knows what this jungle holds."
Brittany and Bobby load the fire wood up and follow behind Felix as they make their way back to camp. Brittany shoots Bobby a glare, thinking Felix may have heard Bobby's comments.
~End of Scene~
The sun is setting. Kyle and Lara are driving down the dirt road.
Lara: "What luck huh?"
Kyle: "Yeah... Luck..."
Lara: "You and Felix don't say much. Ever since we all met, all you have done is talk about doing your job. For instance, you were going to shoot that triceratops family back at the watering hole."
Kyle doesn't say anything for a moment. He takes a deep breath.
Kyle: "The military is all I knew. And it's what I continue to know. It's my mission to ensure that your mission is completed. Don't take offense to this Ms. Matthews, but Felix and I aren't here to make friends."
Lara: "I get that. But wouldn't you like to live a little? When we all saw those dinosaurs in the wild for the first time, it was like seeing a piece of history. It was an awe inspiring moment. How could you not agree with that?"
Kyle: "The things I've seen... Those animals didn't even compare. Now why don't you let me do my job and you do yours."
Kyle doesn't even hesitates his sentence and Lara gives him a glaring look.
Lara: "Fine... Wake me when we get there!"
Lara turns her head away and closes her eyes to get some sleep.
~End of Scene~
The sun has set now. Ethan, Chuks, Barney, Peter, Bobby, and Brittany are sitting around the fire while Felix walks the perimeter.
Bobby: "So, what is our best approach for the morning? There's no sense in us just sitting and waiting for Lara and Kyle to get back."
Ethan: "Yes it does make sense Bobby. Lara wants this just as bad as us. We're not starting without her."
Bobby: "Oh c'mon Doc! I want to see some dinosaurs! Hey Barney! Maybe you can take us out in the morning just to do a little sight seeing. We don't have to move far from the camp!"
Barney looks over at Ethan, whom shakes his head no.
Barney: "Sorry Bobby, it wouldn't be safe if we split up like that."
Bobby looks annoyingly bummed, but as he looks past the fire and into the brush ahead, something sparks his attention, and soon the whole team's. The light of the fire is causing a pair of eyes to reflect back at them.
Chuks: "You might not have to wait for that after all Bobby..."
Chuks slowly reaches for a tranquilizer gun that he had leaning beside him.
Chuks: "Nobody move a muscle, we don't want to spook it."
Brittany: "What is it?"
Peter: "It might be a lion, leopard that got seperated from it's back. Just don't give it any reasons, and it'll pass by."
Suddenly more eyes begin to pop up in the brush as they reflect from the flames. A clicking noises comes from the brush. The eyes glow yellow in the fire.
Ethan: "Those aren't your everyday animals..."
Chuks: "Then what are you saying?"
Ethan: "Troodons..."
Brittany and Bobby have fear in their eyes as they too know what a Troodon is.
Ethan: "We need to run. We need to run fast."
Everyone sits still and keeps their eyes locked on the eyes staring back at them from the brush.
Chuks: "On three... One... Two... -"
The troodons emerge from the brush. Everyone scrambles and runs for their lives.
Barney: "Into the jungle! It'll be harder for them to track us! Go!"
They run as fast as they can into the jungle. Brittany trips over a root sticking out of the ground. She hits the ground and rolls over to look behind her. The troodon pack is closing in. Brittany screams in terror as one of the troodons shows their menacing set of tiny but viscously sharp teeth! Peter runs back and helps Brittany up.
Peter: "To the trees! We need to get into the trees!"
Gun fire echos in the woods as Felix is turning and shooting at the troodons while trying to run. Ethan, Bobby, Chuks, and Barney make it up a tree. They can see Brittany, Felix, and Peter running towards their direction.
Ethan: "C'mon! Let's go! Don't look back!"
Chuks: "You can do it! C'mon!"
Chuks and Ethan put their hands out and Brittany leaps into the air and they catch her by her wrists and pulls her up into the tree. Felix manages to climb up also. Peter starts climbing, but a troodon jumps at his leg. It doesn't bite him but it severly claws his leg as it slips off of him. Peter screams in pain but he manges to get into the tree with the others. The troodons gather at the base of the tree and show no signs of leaving as they look up at their prey.
Bobby: "What the hell do we do!?"
Suddenly a loud and powerful roar echoes in the jungle! The troodons run off into the night!
Barney: "What in God's name was that noise?"
Ethan: "That... That was a T-Rex..."
The group looks at each other stunned and worried as the Rex's roar echoes in the night.
Brittany: "Well, at least the troodons are gone!"
~End of Scene~
Lara wakes up. The truck has stopped and Kyle is no longer in it. Lara looks all around wondering where they stopped. Then she sees it. Her eyes grow as she sees a facility of some sorts and it is massive. She then sees Kyle exiting from the front gate. He starts making his way back to the land rover. As he opens the door, Lara immediately begins to question him.
Lara: "What is this!? Where are we Kyle!?"
Kyle doesn't say a word as he gets in and turns the truck on. He drives into the facility's gate way and the gates close behind them.
Lara: "Kyle! Answer me!"
Kyle turns to Lara and knocks her out with a straight right hand to the face! Kyle motions to somebody and gets out of the truck.
~End of Scene~
A few hours have passed by since the troodon attack and the team feels it is safe to get down from the tree. Chuks and Barney have to help Peter down. His back left leg is completely torn open from the troodon's claws.
Chuks: "Peter, can you walk back to the camp?"
Peter takes a few steps forward, but he severly limps. Chuks looks through the brush and comes up with a thick branch that stands to about Peter's height.
Chuks: "Here take this. It will help you."
Peter takes the branch and uses it as a walking stick.
Brittany: "How far do you think we wandered from camp?"
Barney: "It shouldn't be too far."
Barney hides a worried look but Ethan sees him.
Ethan: "Hey Chuks, Barney... Can I talk to you guys for a second?"
Brittany and Bobby wait with Peter as Felix walks over and joins Ethan, Chuks, and Barney.
Chuks: "Ethan, what is it? Is something wrong?"
Ethan: "Barney, how far is camp?"
Chuks looks at Ethan then at Barney with a confused face as Barney doesn't answer him right away.
Chuks: "Barney? Barney, how far are we from the camp site?"
Barney shakes his head and shows some frustration.
Barney: "I don't know... When the troodons chased us into the thick woods, I lost track of where we were. It is too dark."
Ethan bites his lower lip.
Ethan: "You mean to tell me we are lost out here?"
Barney: "No Dr. Miller. Not lost. It is just too dark. It isn't safe to move through the jungle. It won't be until the sun rises. We have no idea what could be waiting for us."
Felix: "We also have no idea what could be watching us right now too..."
Barney quickly nods and agrees.
Barney: "Yes I know. And I understand. We need to find somewhere safe to ride out the night. Then in the morning, it will be easier to find a safe path to camp."
Chuks: "Barney is right. We need to buckle down for the night."
Ethan: "What do you have in mind?"
Chuks looks back to the tree they hid in.
Chuks: "I will get back into the tree and be a look out. The rest of you can sleep at the base of it. The brush should provide enough cover to stay hidden."
Felix: "That's risky big man..."
Chuks: "I know... But we don't havy any other choice."
Ethan: "Alright. Let's get to it then. Brittany! Bobby! Help Peter out. We're going back to the tree!"
The team starts making their way back to the tree. Chuks walks along side Barney, and Barney gives him a worried look.
~End of Scene~
Lara regains consciousness. She finds herself in a cell like structure. Her ankle is shackled. She tries to wiggle the chain from the wall but it doesn't even come close to budging. She yells for help and looks around. She looks up and notices a large mirror. She looks up at it.
Lara: "Is someone there? I know you're watching! Who are you!? Why are you doing this!?"
Lara yells out. Someone on the other side of the glass is watching. It's a two way mirror. The person looks on as Lara comtinues to yell. On the outside of the facility, a pteranodon flies overhead.

Episode 2 is on the way! I scrapped what I originally had written for it because I hated the direction I went in. Been there multiple times, man. It's why it took me so long to get episodes out for BTB and everything else. First draft for the Last Son pilot was soooo bad. Take your time with this stuff though othereise you'll end up writing yourself into a corner or just put out something no good like my most recent episode of BTB. Can't wait to read more. I know I've said this before but I'll try to get a review out sometime when I'm not half asleep or busy with work.

Jurassic: the Series
Episode 3 - "Nothing's Impossible"
The location is just 25 miles off the coast of South Africa in the Atlantic. Crab fisherman have been having a field day with their catches.
Sailor: "Captain! If we keep this up, we won't have to work any longer!"
The crew laughs as they reel in another net full of crabs.
Captain: "Throw in the largest net we have boys! We're making a living today!"
The sailors throw in a huge net! It's has to be 25 feet wide. The net begins to float to the bottom and the fishermen await their bite. Suddenly the net jerks and nearly pulls some of the sailors off of their feet.
Sailor: "What the bloody hell was that!?"
It happens again and this time the boat jerks forward!
Sailor: "Captain! I think we're stuck on something! We need to drop anchor!"
Captain: "But both anchors are already down..."
The crew looks up at their captain. Everyone looks worried now. The boat jerks again and the sailors holding onto the net are launched overboard and into the water! The crew rushes to their aid as the fallen sailors scream for help!
Captain: "Get the life vests! Hurry!"
Sailors scramble to help and the captain watches over the crew whom fell in the water.
Captain: "Don't worry men! Help is on the way! We're gonna' get you out of there!"
Just as the ship's captain reassures the crew, a massive shadow lurks under the ship and the crew. The captain's eyes widen in fear and shock. Suddenly water shoots into the air and massive jaws open wide! A mosasaur devours the overboard crew members in one bite! The captain and the rest of the crew scream in fear. The mosasaur dives back under the water. The captain gets the engines turned on, but it's too late. The mosasaur reveals itself again. The enormous animal dives as high as it can and lets out a thunderous roar asit crashes down on top of the boat, killing anyone on board. The mosasaur has vanished back under the water and all that is left is debris from the boat's destruction.
~End of Scene~
The sun has risen and it's a new day. The team is still camped at the base of the large tree. Everyone has just woken up, aside from Chuks whom stayed on watch all night.
Barney: "Alright... It's time to get a move on. Is everyone ready to go?"
They all acknowledge. As Barney begins leading everyone back to camp, Ethan notices something and runs to it.
Ethan: "Oh my God..."
Chuks: "Ethan? What is it?"
The rest of the group goes over to Ethan and they see what has him looking shocked. A massive foot print that is about 6 feet long and 4 feet wide. It's the print of the T-Rex.
Brittany: "Now we know why those troodons were so eager to leave when we heard the roar."
Peter: "I don't get it. How does a tyrannosaurus suddenly roam the jungles of South Africa. Why hasn't it been noticed!?"
Ethan: "Because it was just put here... Or at least just released..."
Chuks: "What do you mean?"
Ethan: "Ingen..."
Peter: "Ingen? I thought after the Jurassic World incident, that company folded? The man in charge... What was his name? Hoskins? He was killed in that incident."
Brittany: "But Henry Wu wasn't..."
Everyone turns their attentions to Brittany.
Brittany: "Ingen may officially be wiped from known existence, but what about unknown? Henry Wu was never accounted for. He was never claimed dead or alive. And along with him... Ingen."
A gun locks and loads. Everyone looks at Felix.
Felix: "Then we need to put an end to them if they're here... Why else would we be here?"
Bobby: "We were hired to study the animals, prove their existence in the modern natural habitat."
Felix: "Wrong... Ingen is here."
Chuks: "How can you prove that? We would have seen signs!"
Felix: "You mean dinosaurs weren't enough? That answers all of your questions!"
Ethan: "Wouldn't officials be able to see this though? Something like that can't go unnoticed."
Chuks: "Remember Ethan, we have no governments here. The warden services and police handle the law."
Barney: "Yes but also the wealthy control a lot of the land. For instance the man who hired you all. Mitchell Wolf..."
Ethan: "Wolf... Son of a bitch..."
Brittany: "Dr. Miller?"
Ethan: "Mitchell Wolf. He set us up. It's a way he can cover up Ingen's or whoever's behind this existence."
Chuks: "We need to get back to camp. Now!"
Ethan: "We need our radios from the trucks. We need to contact Kyle and Lara. Hopefully they haven't made it back to Wolf yet."
~End of Scene~
Lara: "HELP ME! Please! Somebody!"
An alarm begins going off. Suddenly a door opens upward at ground level. Kyle walks in to see Lara.
Kyle: "Hello Lara."
Lara: "You son of a bitch! What is this!?"
Kyle: "Lara you are standing in a enclosure that has housed many before you."
Lara: "An enclosure? What the Hell are you talking about!? Why are you doing this to me!"
Kyle: "Your team members told you the investigation wouldn't start until we got back. Well you don't need that team anymore Lara. Your investigation is right here!"
Lara: "What are you saying? What is this place Kyle?"
Kyle: "I'm sorry Lara. I'm not authorized to answer that question."
Lara: "I don't give a damn! You can't keep me held hostage like this!"
Kyle: "Save your breath Lara. No one will ever come looking for you. As far as we are concerned... We don't exist."
Lara: "When I get out of here-"
Kyle harshly interrupts her.
Kyle: "You'll do what?!"
Lara doesn't say a word as she furiously glares at Kyle.
Kyle: "Make yourself comfortable Ms. Matthews. You should be grateful you're in here rather out in that jungle."
Lara: "I'd rather be out taking my chances with the dinosaurs..."
Kyle smirks and exits through the door and it lowers behind him. Lara hears a faint roar and she can instantly tell it is coming from inside the facility.
Lara: "What in God's name is this place..."
Lara slides her back against the wall and sits down thinking to herself.
~End of Scene~
Two suvs pull up along side the same dirt strip runway that brought the team. Farrah exits the back seat of the lead veichle. She doesn't look amused. A small cargo plane has just landed. The exit ramp lowers and two people step out of it. A man and a woman. As they step off the ramp and onto the ground, Farrah greets them.
Farrah: "Agents, welcome to South Africa! Mr. Wolf is expecting you."
The woman speaks up.
Madeline May: "I'm FBI Special Agent, Madeline May and this is my partner, FBI Special Agent, Steven Blake. You must be Farrah?"
Farrah: "That's right. Here, let me have my drivers help you with your luggage."
Farrah motions to the two drivers of the veichles. And they go to load up the luggabe.
Farrah: "So what brings you to our neck of the woods?"
Steven: "This isn't a time for games Farrah. You know why we're here."
Farrah: "The recent dinosaur sightings, yes I know. But Mr. Wolf has already put together a team of excellent professionals to confirm the animals existence. Why would the FBI have interest anyway?"
Madeline: "No disrespect Ms. Butler, but that information is classified. We would like to speak to Mitchell Wolf as soon as possible. How far are we from his home?"
Farrah: "It's just a few minutes drive from here."
Farrah looks past Madeline and Steven without them noticing and the two drivers nod to Farrah about something. Farrah smiles.
Farrah: "Shall we?"
They get into the suv and drive off.
~End of Scene~
