The Jurassic Games: Extinction (2025) Movie Script
1
()
(SYSTEM STARTS)
ADRIAN:
Only two remain.
Joy, the heartless
teenage killer,
ruthless and crazy.
And Tucker,
the family man, who
callously murdered his wife.
(GROWLS)
ADRIAN:
Listen to me.
I am not the judge.
We are not the jury.
But the game...
the game is the executioner.
And the game decides
who lives...
and who dies.
NEWS REPORTER 1:
Incredible news
out of Hollywood last night.
The Jurassic Games was hijacked
by the militant protest group
known as The Cavemen.
Millions watched as the show's
former host, Adrian Cane,
was forced into the games,
and then brutally murdered
on live television.
SOCIAL MEDIA STAR:
I'm telling you, he's not dead.
The producers control
every single aspect of it.
I wouldn't be surprised
if they staged the entire thing
for ratings.
Tell us what we all want
to know.
SAGE:
Hmm.
What really
happened that night?
Well, we had
a serious security breach
and it cost us dearly.
You know, the loss
of Adrian Cane was tragic,
but we all know
he was the ultimate showman.
He would've wanted the show
to go on.
Yes, of course,
but how can it?
I mean,
Adrian Cane was the face of
the show since its inception.
Hmm.
Well, I'm glad
you asked that question
because I have a surprise
for everyone.
I wonder what this could be.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Surprise, everyone!
I'm alive.
Wow. Ladies and gentlemen!
Joy LaFort,
literally back from the dead!
(CHUCKLES)
Who's ready for more
Jurassic Games?
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
(HOST CHUCKLES)
Woo!
()
SAGE:
All right, Echo.
- I'm ready.
-Okay.
Now be careful with the Rex.
He's a little hard to balance
with your head being so far
- off the ground.
-I'll be fine.
That's what you said
the first time
you flew the pterosaur.
(WHISTLES)
(SAGE CHUCKLES)
Okay, flying is
totally different.
Okay, yeah right.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
(CHIMES)
(ROARS)
Okay.
Okay.
How much time have I got
as a Rex?
Um, about 20 seconds
and then the raptors
should back off.
(THUDS)
I gotta admit,
this is a lot of fun.
Maybe you should become
a murderer,
so you can be a contestant.
Ha, ha, ha.
Funny.
()
(CHUCKLES)
Whoo!
(ROARS)
Uh, Echo?
Um, Echo, they--
they still seem hungry.
That's weird.
Standby.
Echo!
ECHO:
Damn.
Sorry, Sage.
I can't stop them.
Shit!
(GASPS)
That hurt.
What happened?
JEFF:
Uh, right.
Well, um, we have found
that in order
to build
a fully immersive experience,
you should feel the pain
that you did--
Yeah, yeah, I know, I know.
I wrote the bloody program.
What I meant was,
why did they attack me?
I have no idea.
And who's the guy in a hood
riding a raptor?
What?
There's a guy riding a raptor.
He just stood there
and stared at me.
-Sounds kinda badass.
-Ugh.
G.O.D.
G.O.D.:
Hello, Sage.
SAGE:
Why didn't you respond
to the request
to stand down the raptor pack?
G.O.D.:
The request was overridden.
On whose authority?
G.O.D.:
Unable to respond.
The 10 death row inmates are
set to be chosen next week
for this season's
Jurassic Games.
And new host, Joy LaFort,
is promising
an even more brutal games
than last year.
Well, what about
Anthony Tucker?
What about him?
Many people thought he would be
a good replacement
for Adrian Cane.
Well, maybe he would have.
Everyone was rooting for him.
Well, almost everyone.
(AUDIENCE CHUCKLES)
Honestly, the show did reach
out to Tucker several times.
The audience would love
to see him come back
in some capacity.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING, WHISTLING)
Right?
Unfortunately, he won't
get back with us, so...
(AUDIENCE BOOS)
Hey, hey.
It's okay.
The games aren't for everyone.
And besides, I am sure
he's much happier
wherever he is.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
TALK SHOW HOST 2:
Thanks for coming.
I love the outfit.
I see you in red,
doing that thing,
-but listen--
-All right.
Rec time is over.
Tucker, you got a visitor.
Do I know you?
Resisting arrest?
Again?
What the hell happened to you,
Tucker?
Got about a minute to tell me
what you're doing here.
I'm headed back to my cell
to take a nap.
The Cavemen.
()
What about 'em?
They took their shot
and they missed.
The show's still on.
It was all for nothing.
They learned a lot though.
There is a way to take down
the AI that controls the game.
But it has to be done
from the inside.
(CHUCKLES)
Listen to me, Tucker.
There's a plan for
this year's contestants.
You know the Jurassic Games
only cares about ratings,
so they are looking
for star power.
A recognizable name.
I look like a star to you?
Not you.
Your son.
They're going to put him
in the games.
I see.
Okay.
Okay.
For the last time,
I'm never going back in.
Okay? I'm not making
any special appearances.
I'm not signing
any endorsements.
I'm tired of your bullshit.
You're misunderstanding me,
Tucker.
No, I understand.
The show has you here posing as
a Caveman to get me worked up
and worried about my kid.
I get it. It's great stuff.
That's creative. (CLAPS)
Way to go.
Last time I checked,
you had to be on death row
to be chosen
for the Jurassic Games.
My son didn't kill anybody.
You didn't either, if I recall.
It's happening as we speak.
Can you turn the TV back on?
NEWS REPORTER 2:
We have a first look now
at Andrew Tucker being taken
into police custody on charges
of first-degree murder and
collusion with the terrorist
organization known...
How the hell did you know that?
NEWS REPORTER 2:
...as the Cavemen.
Andrew Tucker is the son
of last season's winner
of the Jurassic Games,
Anthony Tucker.
I'll call you.
NEWS REPORTER 2: (ON TV)
...who, as we all know,
was granted a pardon
for the murder
of his wife.
Anthony Tucker cannot
currently be reached
as he is being detained
for disorderly conduct
-and resisting arrest.
-Guard, I need to go.
I need out.
Not until somebody
posts your bail.
NEWS REPORTER 2: (ON TV)
...season of the Jurassic Games.
Sit your ass back down.
NEWS REPORTER 2: (ON TV)
is already being criticized...
(WHOOSHES)
(PHONE RINGING)
Answer it.
-I don't recognize the number--
-Answer it.
Okay.
AUTOMATED VOICE: (ON PHONE)
4-7-1-1, North West 23
4-7-1-1...
It's an address.
AUTOMATED VOICE: (ON PHONE)
North West 23. 4-7-1-1...
Take me there.
Dad, what's going on?
-What's happening?
-Just drive.
(ENGINE REVVING)
Look, there's just no way
that I can get behind this.
Joy is a cold-blooded killer.
In the last Jurassic Games,
you admitted to killing
Anthony Tucker's wife.
It seemed very, um...
Coincidental?
That's because I was lying.
I didn't kill Tucker's wife.
I don't even know what
she looked like.
I just said it to distract him,
get in his head.
See if he'd make a mistake.
I was acting.
How'd I do?
It was quite a performance.
Thank you.
Maybe that's why they chose me
to replace Mr. Cane.
Okay, I need to wrap this up.
I've got a million things to do.
()
(DOOR OPENS)
(SYSTEM BEEPS)
Well, well, if it
isn't our shining star.
Hello, sir.
I just want to thank you so
much for this opportunity.
I'm incredibly grateful,
and I can't wait
to make you proud.
-I actually have a couple of--
-What an incredible
transformation
you've gone through.
Really amazing.
I mean, just look at you.
You used to be so evil,
psychotic.
(CHUCKLES)
Oh, makes me so proud
of the work
we're doing on this show.
Really does.
Thank you, sir.
-You know, this process--
-Joy,
I'd like to introduce you
to William, Amanda,
and Seth.
-They are the--
-Yeah.
It's only the OG freaking
game testers.
These are the rock stars that
tested out the early games.
Made sure they were hard enough
to kill people like you.
(CHUCKLES)
I'm so sorry, like the old you.
Shh.
I brought them in to help us
with our little issue.
And we greatly appreciate
the help, sir.
I'm sorry.
What's going on?
Nothing for you
to worry about, Joy.
Just a tiny little glitch
in the G.O.D. software.
Sage believes she'll have it
fixed by the end of the day.
-Right, Sage?
-Yes, sir.
We have spent a lot of money
to make sure your debut as host
goes off without a hitch.
Hell, Seth's fee alone
may put us out of business.
But the audience loves you.
We love you.
So, if you have any concerns,
feel free to reach out
to me directly.
Okay?
All right.
Let's get going.
I don't know what the hell
he's talking about,
but it's a lot more
than a little glitch.
I'd say we're kind of screwed,
potentially.
Echo!
What? He doesn't scare me.
Tell me why my games
are kind of screwed.
Uh...
It's okay.
We think someone
inserted a virus.
Strange things have been
popping up in the game zones.
I thought this system
was supposed
to be the most advanced
in the world.
Who could have done
something like this?
Someone on the inside?
No one on the inside.
A Caveman hacker, maybe?
Could just be God starting
to think for himself.
That's not funny.
JOY:
So, what's your plan?
Can't you just unplug it
or reboot it
or whatever?
Unfortunately,
we are locked out.
We're gonna have to access
the programming from inside.
Should be easy.
So, why do we need them?
We can't just
spawn inside the CPU.
We've purposely made it a bit
of a challenge to gain access.
Not challenging enough,
apparently.
They are coming
as a precaution.
I don't anticipate
any troubles.
G.O.D.:
Stand by for game insertion.
Game insertion
in 3, 2, 1.
Player spawn successful.
Don't fuck up my games.
(CHUCKLE)
()
She keeps calling it
"her game,"
like she's been here
since the first show.
I can hear you.
One word to the Manager
and I can have
any one of you fired.
I'm sorry.
What was that, Joy?
(MIMICS STATIC)
Oh, you're breaking up.
Come in.
ECHO: We're having
trouble hearing you.
Damn it!
Get comms back on now!
Uh...
I-- I can't.
-Everything's fine on our end.
-(SYSTEM BEEPS)
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
What?
We're broadcasting.
What are you talking about?
We're not scheduled to air
for months.
Hello again,
and welcome back
to this very special edition
of the Jurassic Games.
As you know, every year
we select ten
of the most dangerous criminals
and we match them up with
the most ferocious creatures
ever known to exist.
But this year's event
is unique.
You see, we've rounded up
five terrorists
from the organization
known as the Cavemen.
And we've prepared
a particular version
of the games just for them.
We've got all new competitions,
upgraded dinosaurs.
And an all-new host.
Ah, Joy.
Let's not get ahead
of ourselves.
You're gonna have to earn
that job.
You see, a game master
must have experience.
Who out there wants to see Joy
take my place?
(CHEERING, WHISTLING)
ADRIAN: (ON TV)
I say let's put her back
in the game zone.
After all, that is where you
really shine, isn't it?
Of course.
I'd love to show the world
what a real host can do.
Oh.
Ouch.
Well, the world will have
to wait
just a few more moments,
because stage one
is ready to begin.
We're clear.
Okay, Christ! Shut it down.
Is our system glitching?
And who the hell was that?
That was not Adrian Cane.
I don't know.
I-- I don't know.
But it's not letting me
shut it down
and I can't pull 'em out.
Shit.
-Yes?
-What the hell is going on?
MANAGER: (ON SCREEN)
It appears the game has started.
Okay. Stop it.
We can't stop it.
Well, you have to do something.
We are doing something.
We're letting it happen.
Real-time ratings are
already coming in.
This has incredible potential.
Sir, if I may,
what about our people?
Are they safe?
Cane just said something
about Cavemen terrorists.
Yes. It's very unfortunate
for them
and a PR problem for us,
to be sure.
Just do your jobs
the best you can.
And Joy, be sure to smile when
the camera comes your way.
Understood.
(CLICKS KEY)
Joy, what the hell is going on?
How can they just let the game
run by itself?
That is incredibly reckless.
And Sage a Caveman?
I was just at her daughter's
birthday party.
Something's not right.
I agree.
Something's not right.
I'm not in there.
All right.
We spawned in the southern
maintenance checkpoint.
It's a four-hour hike from here
to the unauthorized zone.
If we take this path,
we can avoid any predators.
That's no fun.
What's the point of
populating this place
with free-roaming predators
if we can't shoot 'em?
We're here to work.
Let's just focus on
getting to the UZ.
SETH:
Hey.
What's that?
Why is that here?
It's the speeder bike from
this year's first challenge.
Uh...
ADRIAN:
Welcome, contestants.
You are the lucky few
who've been chosen
to participate
in this very special edition
of the Jurassic Games.
What?
Base, come in.
Echo.
Sorry.
Base, come in.
G.O.D.: (ON COMMS)
Thank you for
re-establishing comms.
The game has started
and the show
is being broadcast worldwide.
What?
G.O.D.: (ON COMMS)
You cannot be extracted
at this time.
It is advised that you continue
to play the game.
ADRIAN:
Welcome to stage one.
You, the world's most dangerous
terrorists, will compete
to the death in a race
against time
and each other.
But first, you'll need these.
(GASP)
As you know by now,
if you refuse to play,
or you stray out
of the game zone, kaboom.
(ADRIAN CHUCKLES)
And of course, if you die here,
you die for real.
Think of it
as your inevitable execution
for the heinous crimes
you've committed,
but in a more,
shall we say, entertaining way.
Okay.
This can't be happening!
Base, tell me you didn't engage
lethal injections.
G.O.D.: (ON COMMS)
It is advised that you continue
to play the game.
It is advised that you
continue to play the ga-a-me.
Play the ga-a-me.
I lost him for real this time.
This just got a whole lot
more fun.
ADRIAN:
I like that attitude.
Just have fun with it.
And who knows?
You just might be
the last one standing
and earn a full pardon
and your freedom.
Okay, contestants, ready?
In three...
It's not about
winning a race.
ADRIAN:
Two...
Just survive until someone
crosses the finish line!
ADRIAN:
One! Go!
()
(WHOOSHES)
Holy shit!
That was Anthony Tucker!
(CHUCKLES)
ADRIAN: Hurry contestants,
the race has begun.
And be sure to look
for power-ups along the way.
(WHOOSHING)
Why is Tucker here?
I mean, do you think
it's the real him?
Could be an NPC.
Oh my gosh, this is so crazy.
(WHOOSHES)
()
(WHIRRING)
(GROWLS)
(SYSTEM BEEPING)
The games have officially begun
with stage one, The Race,
where contestants must race
to the finish line,
avoiding man-eating carnivores
and each other.
Okay, knock-off Adrian,
why is Tucker in the game?
Stage two, The Arena.
A gladiator-style battle
to the death.
We're guaranteed to have
a loser in this round.
Can he not hear me?
I have no idea.
I don't know what he is.
Stage three is
Capture the flag.
Our new twist on
the fan-favorite raptor maze,
where contestants
run for their lives
while trying to avoid
our enhanced raptor pack.
And stage four.
As always,
you know I'm not going
to tell you everything, am I?
So, let's get back to the race,
right after
this commercial break.
Can you put me in?
With host protocols?
Uh...
...yeah.
Yeah, I can.
But why do you
want to go in there?
JOY: Spawn me close
to the finish line.
(BEEPS)

(GROWLS)

(GROWLS)
(BEEPING)
What's going on?
Why is the game running?
ARTHUR:
I don't know.
This is very
unfortunate timing.
TUCKER: (ON COMMS)
This was supposed to be easy!
-What happens if I die in here?
-Wake him up!
No! No, it's gonna be fine.
If he dies in the game,
he'll wake up here.
(KEYBOARD CLATTERS)
(BEEPING)
(GRUNTS)
I'm locked out.
Tucker, don't die.
If you die, I won't be able
to get you back in.
You're on your own.
You've got one shot at this.
Dad, do you realize
what this means?
You've got to find Andrew.
Andrew wasn't with the group.
HALEY: (ON COMMS)
They're using him, Dad.
They're using him
to get to you.
Yeah, I know.
ARTHUR: (ON COMMS)
The plan is still the same.
Get to the core.
(GRUNTS)
(WHOOSHES)
Anthony Tucker, hi.
I'm Echo. Huge fan.
This is so cool!
Kick it!
It's a thing
I added to the game
to slow contestants down
randomly.
Give it a good kick.

(GROWLS)
(CHIMES)
(ROARS)
()
(ROARS)
See you at the finish line!
(CHUCKLES)
(WHOOSHES)
Stay together!
Hey!
This one's mine!
(CHUCKLES)
SETH:
Okay.
That's pretty cool.
(BEEPS)
I'm too big.
I won't make it through.
How long do these
power-ups last?
-WILLIAM: 20 seconds or so.
-(GRUNTS)
I don't think she has
20 seconds!
(GRUNTING)
I'm going back.
Shit!
(GROANING)
Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hey, hey. Hey, hey.
-Hey, hey! Are you okay?
-Is she okay?
I don't know.
How should I know? Hey.
One of you boys
wanna give me a ride?
(CHUCKLES, GROANS)
Hey, hey, hey.
We can't stay here.
WILLIAM:
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
(EXPLOSIONS)
(WHIRRING)
(GRUNTS)
What are you doing?
You're gonna
get yourself killed!
(WHOOSHES)
()
(THUDS)
(GRUNTS)
JOY:
Hello, Tucker.
It's nice to see you again.
(GRUNTING)
Oh.
Remember when I kicked your ass
in the last games?
I got a lot of questions
about how a little girl like me
could take on a big,
strong man like you.
(GRUNT)
(JOY CHUCKLES)
Well, found out later
it's because they "enhanced" me.
They made me stronger
because they wanted to see me
get to the end of the games.
(GRUNT)
(CHUCKLES)
It's pretty cool, isn't it?
(TUCKER GRUNTS)
We're better in here.
We can be anything
we want to be.
I know.
(CHIMES)
(GROWLS)
(CHUCKLES)
(ROAR)
(GROWLS)
(YELLS)
Let's go.
(GROWLS)
(ROAR)
Hey, discount Adrian.
Adrian?
JOY:
Why are you in my game?
This is my game!
My time!
I will kill you both.
(WHISTLES)
(RAPTORS SNARL)
(JOY GRUNTS)
Damn it!
GARRETT:
You okay?
Yeah, idiot!
I love having my arms
ripped off by raptors!
Are you sure you don't want
to rest for a minute?
JOY:
Where's Tucker now?
Where's Adrian?
He's talking to Adrian.
Adrian?
No, apparently he's talking
to himself.
No, no. He's there.
I saw him.
You're telling me the game
can't see him?
Why?
I have no clue.
I think we're close to uh,
having a winner.
(BEEPS)
I think I remember you.
Cane?
That seems like that could've
been my name.
So, you were the one who put me
in the game, tried to kill me.
I'm not that person.
I am parts of him.
I want to help you.
(BEEPS)
(FIRE CRACKLING)
-(THUDS)
-(GRUNTS)
What's he doing?
Why is he acting like that?
He must be able to see
something that we can't see.
But he's acting like an idiot!
I see you're here
to destroy the games.
That's a good guess.
I've gained access
to the source code.
I've programmed a type of cloak
that makes me invisible
to the system.
I can make you one.
It's gonna take some time.
I don't have the time
to wait for your magic coat.
Then you die.
(WHOOSHES)
GAME ANNOUNCER:
First place, Echo.
Reward, Level Five Mech Suit
power-up.
Quickly.
Get back with the others.
Play the game.
Survive.
And when the time is right,
I will find you.
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Second place, Sage.
Go!
(WHIRRING)
()
(WHOOSHES)
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Third place, Tucker.
Fourth place, Seth.
Fifth place, William.
Last place, Amanda.
Penalty, execution.
()
Easy.
Whoa, whoa.
We do not need to fight.
SETH:
She needs help!
(GRUNTS)
She went unconscious
a while ago.
If she dies in here,
won't she just respawn?
Isn't that how this works?
Uh, uh, maybe.
Uh, base, status on Amanda.
GARRETT:
Ooh, hey, hey.
She's dead.
Sage, how is that possible?
What a tragedy.
We've lost one
of our contestants already.
Amanda, we hardly knew you.
Of course, it is inevitable.
We can only have one winner.
We'll be right back after these
commercial announcements.
WILLIAM: No.
You heard him, Sage.
She's dead.
No.
No.
That's not possible.
We're not connected
to the lethal injections!
Maybe you don't have to be.
This is bad.
What?
Don't you see?
The G.O.D. has found
another way to kill us.
G.O.D.?
Like God?
It's the Games
Operating Device.
It's basically God in here.
Uh, what if it...
theoretically, it found a way
to trap us here?
And keep our minds here.
If it could do that, it could
erase them completely.
(CHUCKLES)
That's it?
That's not remotely possible.
Is it?
No, it isn't.
TUCKER:
It would explain how I saw Cane.
What, Cane?
What?
The old host.
I've seen him.
He looks different.
He had a hood
and he was riding around
on a raptor,
but it was him.
Who are you?
You don't look like
Jurassic Games contestants.
SAGE:
We're not.
I'm Sage.
Technical director for the show
and we are here to fix a couple
of technical glitches.
Or at least we were, until we--
Until you got trapped in here
and had to play it for real.
It's not very fun, is it?
None of this makes any sense.
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Attention contestants.
Stage two
is about to begin.
Well, you all work
for the damn show.
You know what happens.
Like those collars.
Breaking news.
In a surprise
unannounced event,
the Jurassic Games are
broadcasting live on the air
with a special edition.
And already, one contestant
has passed away.
ADRIAN:
Who are these contestants?
They are vile criminals.
Co-conspirators
of a terrorist organization
hell-bent on preventing justice
from being served.
Of course, as always,
the government has generously
granted us permission
to pardon one.
The winner.
Will it be Tucker again?
Let's find out as Stage Two
starts, right after this.
Wait.
You'll have your moment.
The longer we wait, the more of
a chance he has to do whatever
he's planning on doing in there.
I agree. He needs
a distraction to weaken him.
But it's not you.
Not yet.
We've run the numbers.
There's an 84% increase
if we wait,
versus 63% if we
go back in now.
This is getting ridiculous.
Can't you see he's trying
to sabotage the game?
-He needs to die.
-MANAGER: Of course.
But if he dies now,
we'll lose too many viewers.
Trust me,
you'll get your chance.
Fine. We'll do it your way.
Thank you
for your understanding.
I don't think you'll
be disappointed.
JOY:
Hey, where are you going?
Can't a guy take a leak?
-Hurry.
-GARRETT: All righty.
Jesus.
()
ADRIAN:
Welcome, contestants,
to Stage Two.
(FIRE CRACKLING)
I like to call this game
Save The Princess.
First, I'll need you to
divide yourselves
into two groups of three.
In case you haven't noticed,
there's five of us.
ADRIAN:
Ah, yes, for now.
Please, you have 20 seconds.
ECHO:
Oh.
Oh, wow. Wow.
I was gonna partner with Tucker
anyway, so screw you.
Assholes.
Echo, what is--
What is Save the Princess?
I don't know what this game is.
It's because it doesn't exist.
What?
I wrote it to be more of
a free-for-all, battle royale
type thing.
So, we don't have an advantage.
We do.
We work together.
We play smart. Okay?
We're all on the same team.
We are, right, Tucker?
ADRIAN:
Unfortunately, you are not
on the same team.
Now, a princess will be chosen
at random from each group.
(SNAPS FINGERS)
(CHIMES)
Sage!
Sage!
-Sa--
-SAGE: I'm all right.
-WILLIAM: Sage!
-It's all right!
I can't get out though.
Who's in the other one?
()
Oh, shit.
Dad!
They're forcing me to play.
I know.
I'll get you down!
Just hold on.
What's the game, asshole?
ADRIAN:
I thought you'd never ask.
The goal is simple.
Rescue your princess first.
If you do, they will live.
The other, well,
the other will not be so lucky.
Unfortunately,
this game will end
just like it started.
With five players
or maybe less.
Anyway, you have one minute
to choose your power-ups.
All external power-ups you may
have collected will be void
during this game.
We're sorry about that.
Not really.
Good luck.
(CHIMES)
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Choose your dinosaur.
Dad!
I don't wanna die.
()
Shit!
William.
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Choose your dinosaur.
Seth.
Just power up
and move outta the way.
Let Tucker save Andrew.
What? Hell no. Are you crazy?
We're not gonna just
leave you here to die.
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Choose your dinosaur.
Look, Seth, we need her
to get outta here alive.
(GROWLS, GRUNTS)
GAME ANNOUNCER:
William has chosen
Tyrannosaurus rex.
(GROWLS)
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Choose your dinosaur.
Sorry, kid.
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Seth has chosen Brontosaurus.
(NECK CRACKS)
Sage, what do I do?
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Choose your dinosaur.
There's no other way.
We got ourselves
into this, Echo.
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Choose your dinosaur.
I can't be responsible
for that boy's death.
Save him.
Mm-mm.
Mm-mm.
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Choose your dinosaur.
It's okay.
No, I can't do that!
Shut up and do it, okay?
We're running out of time.
Just hurry.
TUCKER:
Come here.
Listen, I'll take the T-rex.
You take the big one,
run defense. Okay?
No, that's not the strategy.
You got a better plan, nerd?
Yeah, I do!
The Pterosaur can get to
the cage a lot easier.
Plus, it's faster
than the Bronto.
All we have to do is get Andrew
out of the cage.
And we'll save him.
That's a pussy dinosaur!
You'll never make it in time!
Oh, yeah?
Well, I'm not taking
the Pterosaur.
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Echo has chosen
Tyrannosaurus Rex.
(ROARS)
(SHOUTS)
ADRIAN:
Ten seconds left
to make your choice.
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Choose your dinosaur.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6,
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Tucker has chosen Pteranodon.
What the? Shit.
Ah, damn it!
Use your wings
to propel forward.
Get a running start.
ADRIAN:
Excellent.
Now the battle will begin
in 3, 2, 1, go!
(ROARS)
()
(GRUNTS)
Wait! Stop!
We're all gonna die
if we don't play!
There has to be some other way!
Echo!
Survive!
You have to survive!
()
Don't flap so much.
Get your balance first
and let the wind keep you up.
Get your fat ass
out of the way.
Stay still!
(GROWLS)
()
ANDREW:
Dad!
There's a latch here.
Cool. Give me a sec.
This thing's got shit for hands.
(GRUNTS)
-(THUDS)
-(GRUNTS)
Ah! My eye!
No!
(THUDS)
Tucker, the power-up.
Yeah, I see it.
Get out of the way!
Move!
No! No!
(ROARS)
ADRIAN
How about that,
ladies and gentlemen?
(LAUGHS)
This is why we watch the games.
(COUGHS)
ADRIAN:
Ladies and gentlemen,
we have a winner.
But unfortunately,
we also have a loser.
Sage, please step forward.
(DOOR SQUEAKS)
Wait.
Why is he still a dinosaur?
ADRIAN:
Because this princess
was not saved.
And of course,
she must be executed.
William, dinner is served.
No, no, no!
I won't!
(GROWLS)
No! William, no!
William, no!
No.
(YELLS)
What?
Wait, no.
ADRIAN: I am
so very sorry, William.
But direct attacks on the host,
they are strictly
against the rules.
And we can't have anyone
breaking the rules.
No. No,
take me instead!
Take me instead.
ADRIAN:
Ho-ho!
(SOBS)
()
(THUDS)
(TAKING DEEP BREATHS)
ADRIAN:
Don't worry.
The Jurassic Games are
all about second chances.
Tucker, as the MVP of the match,
you will be rewarded
with this special power-up.
(CHIMES)
What is it?
ADRIAN:
It's your second chance.
It's an extra life.
It's a one-up.
Use it to resurrect yourself
or one
of your fellow contestants
anytime during the rest
of the game.
Revive him.
Come on, do it! Use it!
ADRIAN:
Oh, no, no, no, no.
I am deeply sorry,
but I said for the rest
of the game.
Rest up, contestants.
Stage three is less than
one hour from starting.
He sacrificed himself...
...for me.
(SOBS, SNIFFLES)
This is insanity.
We're not supposed to be here!
We're not killers!
We can't play this game
for real!
We're gonna die!
We're gonna die,
because of you
-and your shit kid!
-No, Seth. No!
-It's not him!
-I'm gonna kill you!
It's not him!
It's this damned game!
Get it together!
It's us against the game!
That's it!
That's it.
We can beat this.
No, we can't.
Echo.
There are still two games left.
If one of us survives,
what are we gonna do?
Stroll back into the UZ,
reboot the system?
Save the Jurassic Games?
It's evil!
What the hell?
People have been saying that
since the games started.
People have been dying
since the games started.
You didn't care, then you
got stuck here yourselves.
()
I need to get to the core.
Can you help me?
What are you gonna do?
Throw a rock at it?
This isn't just a rock.
It's an Asteroid.
A what?
I didn't name it.
But it's coated with a virus
that can take the games down
forever.
You know, just
because you're whispering
doesn't mean
they can't hear you.
Right.
That's right.
That's right!
I want you to hear me!
This is it!
It's over!
This is the end
of the Jurassic Games!
So, come take it from me, Joy!
Come and get it!
Stop me!
That's it. I'm going in.
No. Ratings have
never been higher.
He's gonna destroy the games.
I'm the host.
Let me go in and save it.
We have calculated the odds.
And have determined it's worth
the risk to keep going.
This is about ratings,
nothing more.
Plus, Andrew is now
in the game.
Why would you bring
Tucker's son here?
It just motivates him
to be more dangerous.
MANAGER: (ON SCREEN)
We are still in control.
Now, if you please,
I'd like you to deal with
members of the press
that are waiting
for a response from us.
NEWS REPORTER 1:
So, Joy,
are you aware that information
from inside the games
has been leaked?
We are being told
that the contestants
are not actually terrorists,
but employees
of the game itself.
What's your response?
Damn it.
Garrett.
Are you confirming the source
of the leaked information?
Oh, no.
He's a disgruntled employee
who was let go
due to poor job performance.
You know how people can get.
They'll say anything
for attention.
So, there's no truth
in what he's claiming?
Not an ounce.
The contestants are exactly
who we claim.
Members of the Cavemen
responsible for the attacks
on the last games.
Murderers.
Except Anthony Tucker,
of course.
It's exciting to see him
go for two wins in a row,
isn't it?
And what about the rumors
that you've
lost control of the show?
And how is Adrian Cane
still hosting?
Come on, it's not really him.
We can make realistic, well,
mostly realistic dinosaurs.
Don't you think we can
conjure up a dead host?
We're doing it
to pass the torch,
so to speak.
Besides, this is a show,
just like it always has been.
Don't you think we know
what we're doing?
And can you deny that
the ratings are the best
they've ever been?
I didn't think so.
Here's what I want you
to tell your viewers.
If they think
this Jurassic Games
has been exciting,
the best is yet to come.
I'm about to steal the show.
NEWS REPORTER 3:
But is the AI--
(OVERLAPPING SPEECH)
We're out of time.
Thank you.
()
(BEEPS)
(GRASS RUSTLES)
(BEEPING)
Not yet, boy.
It's almost done.
ECHO:
What have we done?
Our game killed them.
I killed them.
I almost killed you.
No.
It's not your fault.
We need you to be you in here
if we have any chance
of surviving this.
()
How are you holding up?
Why am I here?
The game's trying to use you
to get to me.
I'm sorry.
Maybe it thinks
I'll make some stupid mistake
because you're here.
You're not gonna take
any responsibility for this,
are you?
You're the reason I'm in here.
Your stupid mistakes
led to all of this.
I came back here when
I found out they took you.
I came to help.
And what?
You're gonna blow up the games?
Get your revenge?
I guess you'd like me
to thank you for saving me
back there, but let's be honest,
we're not gonna survive this.
-Andrew.
-It's a circus out there.
The people wanna see us
all dead.
You really think everything's
gonna be okay?
(SETH CHUCKLES)
God, you're a whiny bitch,
aren't you?
Seth.
What?
20 minutes ago,
he was all,
"Daddy, daddy, save me."
And now look at you.
You know who would be useful
right about now?
William,
Amanda.
Not some snot-nosed little punk.
That's enough.
SAGE:
Okay, guys.
Save your energy.
Echo, what do we know
about the next games?
It's supposed to be raptors.
-Shit.
-Yeah.
It should be raptors.
No power-up restrictions
unless they change that again.
What about the power-up
inventory?
ECHO:
A med-kit.
Four weapons upgrades.
Level five mech suit,
but I'm saving that one.
And a couple
of dino transformations,
a rex, a raptor,
a stego, and a compy.
Wow.
Hoarding all those power-ups
till now?
Thought we might need them
if we ever make it to the UZ.
I'll take one of the
weapons upgrades.
How does it work?
It's a temporary boost
for your weapon.
You need a weapon first.
Uh, if the next game
is a raptor maze,
there should be guns
and stuff scattered
around the map.
Here, everyone, take one.
(CHIMES)
No, I'm not using that.
Give it to somebody else.
What?
I'm like my dad in one way.
Shitty at video games.
You have to defend yourself
out there.
ANDREW:
I'm serious.
I'd end up shooting
one of you guys.
Wow, he really is useless.
Guns aren't everything.
He could be useful.
You can be useful, right?
Don't forget, everybody.
Tucker has another power-up.
He has an extra life.
Look, just try
and not get separated, okay?
Just pay attention,
follow the rules.
It'll be okay.
And remember, it's-- it's us
against the game now.
It's humans
against a stupid machine.
No one else is gonna die.
Right?
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Attention, contestants.
Stage three is about to begin.
()
GAME ANNOUNCER: The
players have entered the maze.
()
ADRIAN: Welcome,
contestants, to stage three.
It's our special version
of Capture the Flag.
The rules are simple.
At the other side
of the map is a flag.
Your job is to go get it
and bring it right back
to this spot
while avoiding
the hungry raptors
that will be hunting you.
Don't worry, there are weapons
spread out across the map
that will help make things
a little more even.
Capture the Flag in three...
I think we should split up
and gather all the weapons.
No, stay together.
ADRIAN:
Two...
-Damn.
-ADRIAN: One!
Go get it!
(RAPTORS GROWL)
GAME ANNOUNCER: The
raptors have entered the maze.
Hey.
We're dead without guns in here.
-I know that.
-We can't just stand here.
We've gotta get to the flag.
So then we go to the flag.
Quietly.
Together, yeah?
Echo, you wrote this map.
Where are the weapons located?
They should be
pretty easy to find.
It'd be a very short game
otherwise.
No shit, kid.
Just look out for the alpha.
ANDREW:
The what?
The alpha raptor.
He's kinda like the king.
Aren't regular raptors enough?
It was a cool idea
when I thought of it.
Let's go.
()
()
(ROAR, GROWL)
(GRUNTS)
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Nine raptors remaining.
Echo, where are the weapons?
I don't know.
We should've found some by now.
I have an idea.
If you can't beat 'em,
join 'em, right?
What in the hell is she doing?
She's buying us some time.
()
(GROWLS)
Okay.
That's right, we're friends.
Right?
Not the smartest, are you?
()
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Seth has captured the flag.
Eight raptors remaining.
Dad, look.
Oh, hell yeah.
()
BAR PATRONS: Raptors, raptors,
raptors, raptors!
Smaller than I thought it'd be.
Remember, you can
upgrade it later.
Let's go.
Got it!
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Echo has captured the flag.
Wait!
No, no, no, wait!
That's Echo, you idiot!
SETH:
What?
I'm okay. I'm okay.
(BLOOD DRIPPING)
That's a lot of digital blood.
Whoa, whoa, hey, hey, I got you.
I got you. I got you.
Okay. Okay. It's okay.
I got you.
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Andrew has captured the flag.
They're coming
and there's a whole lot of 'em.
They're only after the flag.
Here, give it to me.
I'll take it.
No, I got this.
Hey, Andrew,
make yourself useful.
(CHUCKLES)
Be careful.

Raptors, raptors, rap--
Go, go, go!
Yeah, yeah.

GAME ANNOUNCER:
Congratulations, players.
The flag has been secured.
You stupid, cheeky bastard!
(GROANS)
Tucker, use your One-Up.
Hurry.
I'd be dead if
he hadn't saved me.
I'm sorry.
I can't.
What?
Why not?
Because he's saving it.
Saving it for himself.
I'm saving it for you.
Already a meme and
already trending number one.
Hashtag,
"I'm saving it for you."
Now, if you head on over
to our online store,
you can get
the "I'm saving it for you"
limited edition gear.
It was a touching moment.
So, what's next?
Well, stay tuned
for the final stage
and the big reveal
of this year's winner
right after this.
Um, something's wrong.
Yeah, no kidding.
No, I'm-- I'm serious.
I-- I can't find them.
JOY: What do you
mean you can't find them?
JEFF:
I mean, they're gone.
I-- I-- There's no
trace of them anywhere.
They're not making an
impression on the code.
It's like they were deleted
from the game.
Adrian?
I-- I don't understand.
How are you in here right now?
I don't have time to explain.
We need to hurry.
I have you all hidden
from the game,
but it's just temporary.
How?
I can access the code
undetected.
Because I'm a part of it.
We are running out of time.
He's taking us to
the unauthorized zone.
JOY:
Vitals?
They're stable.
Well, can you wake 'em up?
No.
There's no time.
Follow me.
JEFF:
Hey, where are you going?
To complain to management.
Is it snowing?
JOY:
Hey! Open the door!
-I know you're in there.
-(BANGS DOOR)
(DOOR OPENS)
Oh, no.
MANAGER:
Joy.
Who are you?
I'm the G.O.D.
JOY:
You killed him?
No, not directly.
Sudden cardiac arrest.
Bad timing for him.
Good timing for me.
How long has he been--
MANAGER:
Since I started the broadcast.
Tell me what you saw
when you were in the game.
I saw Adrian or his ghost
or something.
He's in the game somehow.
Interesting.
Apparently, he's been able
to hide from me,
and now he has hidden
the other players.
I don't understand.
How is he in there?
He's dead.
It was my mistake.
I attempted to preserve his mind
in my long-term memory
after the death
of his physical body.
But that's not how it works.
The games are played
inside our minds
as we're unconscious, right?
The system works by storing
the contestant's consciousness
in my temporary memory.
JOY:
So, while we're in the game,
our bodies are just brain-dead?
Yes.
And the lethal injections?
MANAGER: It was never the
lethal injections that caused
the contestants' deaths.
I simply did not
transfer back their minds,
and then I deleted the data
from my cache.
But you didn't delete Adrian?
No. I tried to study him,
but my attempt was unsuccessful.
I did not have enough
storage capacity.
I tried to reconstruct his mind
and appearance.
I got as close as I could,
but recreating a full human
consciousness was more difficult
than I expected.
When I tried to delete
what was left of him,
he was already gone.
JOY:
But he's not gone.
He's sided with Tucker
and he's trying
to take you down.
MANAGER:
Yes. I scanned the virus.
Tucker's Asteroid is
certainly a threat.
I've run the simulation
many times.
A race to destroy the games
will have more viewers
than our usual outcome.
Therefore, I am powerless
to stop it.
But I'm not.
MANAGER:
The audience agrees.
And they are responding well
to your attempts
to save the game.
Then let me save it.
I will be unable to help
beyond host protocols.
Host protocols will be enough.
Put me in.
(WIND HOWLING)
()
(WIND HOWLING)
This is as far as I can go.
Why?
I don't know.
I've tried many times,
but something's kept me out.
It's our firewall,
built to keep viruses
and broken code
out of our core system.
I love the irony,
considering the surroundings.
It does make me curious
about your Asteroid.
How will that get
beyond the firewall?
We can get it
past the firewall.
We can get you past, too.
No.
She's coming.
You must make it to the core
inside the cave.
Once we separate, I won't be
able to keep you hidden.
I can stop her.
You'll have to take
the Asteroid from here.
ADRIAN:
No.
She's too powerful.
Your best bet is to
make it to the core
before she catches up to you.
Why are you helping us?
The games must be destroyed.
It has no regard
for human life.
It's become way too powerful.
Promise me
you will destroy it.
But you'll die, too.
I understand.
But I was never alive
to begin with.
Adrian was never evil
in his mind.
He truly believed the games
were justified,
that killers should be
brought to justice.
He never...
I never wanted
innocent people to die.
Contact. We got 'em.
Ladies and gentlemen,
what a turn of events.
It appears that
the remaining contestants
are bypassing stage four,
and are trying to destroy
the core of the games itself.
Ratings are through the roof.
I've never seen 'em this high.
It's like they meant to do this.
Now seems like the
perfect time to introduce
the newest host
of the Jurassic Games.
Ladies and gentlemen,
she's earned her shot.
Joy LaFort!

(GRUNTING)
You're outmatched.
Joy, stop.
You really need to think about
what you're doing right now.
What I'm doing?
What are you doing?
You can't destroy the games,
they're mine now.
You are literally insane
if you think you're in control.
The AI's too powerful.
It's killing innocent people.
JOY: Guilty and innocent
never mattered before.
You know what these games
have always been.
Yeah, I do.
And that's exactly why they
need to be shut down for good.
No.
It just needs a few
restrictions, that's all.
A new set of prompts.
(EXPLOSION, THUD)
()
I thought it'd be
a little harder than that.
JOY:
What the hell?
MANAGER:
I'm sorry, Joy.
I had to remove you.
The audience wants to see
the contestants reach the end.
Even if it destroys you?
Even if.
I'll kill him.
I'll kill him right now.
No!
You will not!
TUCKER:
Is this the core?
I need to disable it.
How?
ECHO: We were just gonna
log in to the main console
and reboot it from there,
but that's before everything
went south.
Yeah.
Rebooting it won't be enough.
We have this.
This will destroy it
completely.
What happens to us
when you do that?
Will we wake up
outside the game?
Well, Tucker might,
because his body's remote,
but the rest of us,
I don't know.
That's not gonna work for me.
ECHO:
We have to destroy it.
If we don't, the others
would have died for nothing.
I need to get to the terminal
before you activate the virus.
()
You okay?
No, I'm not.
Just take a breath.
We'll stand here for a second.
(CHUCKLES)
It's cr--
kinda crazy...
if you think about it.
I almost understand her.
Joy.
Are you trying to
make me feel better?
I don't know.
When they put me in the games
the first time,
uh,
I was pretty lost.
I wasn't there for your mom.
And I couldn't save her.
And uh,
and I failed you, too.
(SOBS)
But here I was a superhero.
Everything fell apart on me
out there.
I couldn't even look
at myself in the mirror.
But here I was killing bad guys
and fighting dinosaurs.
But you told us you hated
every minute of it.
It made you hate yourself.
I lied.
I missed it.
And I hated that I missed it.
Somehow uh, surviving in here,
it was easier
than living out there.
(SNIFFLES)
Even now, I feel... stronger.
And like I matter.
And that's worth
sacrificing us for?
We need you.
This game doesn't need you.
Why can't you see that?
I see it now.
(SNIFFLES)
I won't let you down again.
I'm gonna get us
out of here.
()
Bring him back, Dad.
What the hell is happening?
FAN 2:
I don't know.
They're trying to ruin
the games.
Well, they can't do that.
Save the games!
Save the games!
Save the games!
Save the games!
Save the games!
- Save the games!
-JOY: Are you seeing this?
People don't want to see
the show destroyed.
MANAGER:
Yes. I predicted this reaction.
They want tension
and excitement
all the way to the end.
But ultimately, they want
the bad guys to lose
and the good guys to win.
Never thought
I'd be a good guy.
A matter of perspective.
But the audience is ready.
For what?
For their hero
to save the day.
(BEEPING)
TUCKER:
Where we at?
I just disabled
the defense systems.
Well, that seemed a little
too easy, didn't it?
I know.
It's like the man upstairs
doesn't care that
we're about to blow him up.
Get us out of here.
G.O.D.:
Mind storage stable.
SAGE:
No!
No!
What is it?
Our bodies are alive
on the outside,
but our minds have
been stored
in memory, in the game.
The AI found a way
to separate us.
I thought you said that
wasn't possible.
JOY:
Yes.
That's the way
it's always been.
Our minds cut and pasted
back and forth.
G.O.D.:
Transfer denied.
I can't--
I can't transfer us back.
Right.
And when I finally kill
all of you,
you'll be gone forever,
while the games will keep going,
like they always have.
SAGE:
What?
(CHIMES)
Oh, shit.

Just the Level Five Mech Suit,

Hang in there.

Please help me.
Please help me.
You have to let him die first.

It's gonna be all right.
I love you.
No, no. What are you--
(TUCKER SOBS)
(SYSTEM BEEPING)
Put me back in,

MANAGER:
I can't.
Forget about
your stupid ratings.
MANAGER:
No. It's not that.
The girl locked me out.
How is that possible?
She's just a kid.
And I'm just a machine.
Her deterrents are
very effective.
It will take me
56 seconds to circumvent them
and then I will eliminate
the contestants.
Has Andrew's brave sacrifice
saved them all?
How will Tucker cope
with the loss of his son?
And will the remaining
contestants

-Go to hell.

I'm so sorry.
What a tragic twist of fate.
Andrew Tucker,
unable to be saved
by his loving father,
bringing this year's exciting
Jurassic Games to a close.
Justice has been served.
Until next time, from all of us
here at the Jurassic Games,
-I'm your host--
-JEFF: Joy!
Jo--
What, Jeff?
We're not even on the air.
Come on, asshole.
Talk to me.
Where are you?
I said, where are you?!
It's over, Joy.
You lost.
And you know something?
You will answer for the death
of Andrew Tucker.
Oh.
(CHUCKLES)
You still work for me.
What are you gonna do, Sage?
Convict me of murder?
Put me in the Jurassic Games?
What about all the people
you killed?

HALEY: Hey.
(SOBS)
It's okay.
I'm so sorry.
Your son's death allowed
the mission to succeed.
My son had nothing to do
with your damn mission.
Nothing.
You Cavemen,
you're all the same.
Just like the assholes
behind the games.
I'm not with the Cavemen.
They all died
in the previous games.
Who are you?
I'm the man who wrote
the first AI for the show.
Why'd you lie to me?
'Cause I didn't think
you'd help me
if I told you the truth.
After the disaster of
the last games,
I prompted the AI
to completely rebuild itself,
which is exactly
what it was doing.
Out of my desperation,
I removed
all of the restrictions
and it became way too powerful.
All it cared about was ratings.
It quit differentiating
between convicted killers
who were sentenced to death
and you know, everybody else.
I went to management.
I tried to warn 'em.
And they just pushed me out.
Me!
Can you believe it?
I had been there from
the very beginning!
It's why I--
It's why I created
the Asteroid.
Its purpose is not just
death and destruction.
It's also a new beginning.
G.O.D.:
Games Operational Device online.
Oh my God.
I had rewritten the code to
make it less dangerous.
I could sell it back
to the company
and they would give me
my old job back.
Your old job back?
Come here!
Look at me!
HALEY:
Dad, stop. Stop.
ARTHUR:
No.
(PHONE VIBRATES)
TUCKER:
Tell me something.
Did you have anything to do
with Andrew being taken?
ARTHUR:
No!
Don't lie to me!
No, I promise!
-I didn't.
-Dad.
Dad.
(ARTHUR GRUNTS)
Andrew?
I don't believe it.
I believe it.
It wanted to keep him alive.
Dad, come on. Let's go.
Probably because the audience
wanted to keep him alive.
That's all it's ever cared
about was the audience!
HALEY:
Come on, Dad.
Andrew?
Yeah.
I made you.

Only two remain.
Joy, the heartless
teenage killer,
ruthless and crazy.
And Tucker,
the family man, who
callously murdered his wife.
(GROWLS)
ADRIAN:
Listen to me.
I am not the judge.
We are not the jury.
But the game...
the game is the executioner.
And the game decides
who lives...
and who dies.
NEWS REPORTER 1:
Incredible news
out of Hollywood last night.
The Jurassic Games was hijacked
by the militant protest group
known as The Cavemen.
Millions watched as the show's
former host, Adrian Cane,
was forced into the games,
and then brutally murdered
on live television.
SOCIAL MEDIA STAR:
I'm telling you, he's not dead.
The producers control
every single aspect of it.
I wouldn't be surprised
if they staged the entire thing
for ratings.
Tell us what we all want
to know.
SAGE:
Hmm.
What really
happened that night?
Well, we had
a serious security breach
and it cost us dearly.
You know, the loss
of Adrian Cane was tragic,
but we all know
he was the ultimate showman.
He would've wanted the show
to go on.
Yes, of course,
but how can it?
I mean,
Adrian Cane was the face of
the show since its inception.
Hmm.
Well, I'm glad
you asked that question
because I have a surprise
for everyone.
I wonder what this could be.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Surprise, everyone!
I'm alive.
Wow. Ladies and gentlemen!
Joy LaFort,
literally back from the dead!
(CHUCKLES)
Who's ready for more
Jurassic Games?
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
(HOST CHUCKLES)
Woo!
()
SAGE:
All right, Echo.
- I'm ready.
-Okay.
Now be careful with the Rex.
He's a little hard to balance
with your head being so far
- off the ground.
-I'll be fine.
That's what you said
the first time
you flew the pterosaur.
(WHISTLES)
(SAGE CHUCKLES)
Okay, flying is
totally different.
Okay, yeah right.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
(CHIMES)
(ROARS)
Okay.
Okay.
How much time have I got
as a Rex?
Um, about 20 seconds
and then the raptors
should back off.
(THUDS)
I gotta admit,
this is a lot of fun.
Maybe you should become
a murderer,
so you can be a contestant.
Ha, ha, ha.
Funny.
()
(CHUCKLES)
Whoo!
(ROARS)
Uh, Echo?
Um, Echo, they--
they still seem hungry.
That's weird.
Standby.
Echo!
ECHO:
Damn.
Sorry, Sage.
I can't stop them.
Shit!
(GASPS)
That hurt.
What happened?
JEFF:
Uh, right.
Well, um, we have found
that in order
to build
a fully immersive experience,
you should feel the pain
that you did--
Yeah, yeah, I know, I know.
I wrote the bloody program.
What I meant was,
why did they attack me?
I have no idea.
And who's the guy in a hood
riding a raptor?
What?
There's a guy riding a raptor.
He just stood there
and stared at me.
-Sounds kinda badass.
-Ugh.
G.O.D.
G.O.D.:
Hello, Sage.
SAGE:
Why didn't you respond
to the request
to stand down the raptor pack?
G.O.D.:
The request was overridden.
On whose authority?
G.O.D.:
Unable to respond.
The 10 death row inmates are
set to be chosen next week
for this season's
Jurassic Games.
And new host, Joy LaFort,
is promising
an even more brutal games
than last year.
Well, what about
Anthony Tucker?
What about him?
Many people thought he would be
a good replacement
for Adrian Cane.
Well, maybe he would have.
Everyone was rooting for him.
Well, almost everyone.
(AUDIENCE CHUCKLES)
Honestly, the show did reach
out to Tucker several times.
The audience would love
to see him come back
in some capacity.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING, WHISTLING)
Right?
Unfortunately, he won't
get back with us, so...
(AUDIENCE BOOS)
Hey, hey.
It's okay.
The games aren't for everyone.
And besides, I am sure
he's much happier
wherever he is.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
TALK SHOW HOST 2:
Thanks for coming.
I love the outfit.
I see you in red,
doing that thing,
-but listen--
-All right.
Rec time is over.
Tucker, you got a visitor.
Do I know you?
Resisting arrest?
Again?
What the hell happened to you,
Tucker?
Got about a minute to tell me
what you're doing here.
I'm headed back to my cell
to take a nap.
The Cavemen.
()
What about 'em?
They took their shot
and they missed.
The show's still on.
It was all for nothing.
They learned a lot though.
There is a way to take down
the AI that controls the game.
But it has to be done
from the inside.
(CHUCKLES)
Listen to me, Tucker.
There's a plan for
this year's contestants.
You know the Jurassic Games
only cares about ratings,
so they are looking
for star power.
A recognizable name.
I look like a star to you?
Not you.
Your son.
They're going to put him
in the games.
I see.
Okay.
Okay.
For the last time,
I'm never going back in.
Okay? I'm not making
any special appearances.
I'm not signing
any endorsements.
I'm tired of your bullshit.
You're misunderstanding me,
Tucker.
No, I understand.
The show has you here posing as
a Caveman to get me worked up
and worried about my kid.
I get it. It's great stuff.
That's creative. (CLAPS)
Way to go.
Last time I checked,
you had to be on death row
to be chosen
for the Jurassic Games.
My son didn't kill anybody.
You didn't either, if I recall.
It's happening as we speak.
Can you turn the TV back on?
NEWS REPORTER 2:
We have a first look now
at Andrew Tucker being taken
into police custody on charges
of first-degree murder and
collusion with the terrorist
organization known...
How the hell did you know that?
NEWS REPORTER 2:
...as the Cavemen.
Andrew Tucker is the son
of last season's winner
of the Jurassic Games,
Anthony Tucker.
I'll call you.
NEWS REPORTER 2: (ON TV)
...who, as we all know,
was granted a pardon
for the murder
of his wife.
Anthony Tucker cannot
currently be reached
as he is being detained
for disorderly conduct
-and resisting arrest.
-Guard, I need to go.
I need out.
Not until somebody
posts your bail.

...season of the Jurassic Games.
Sit your ass back down.

Dad, what's going on?
-What's happening?
-Just drive.
(ENGINE REVVING)
Look, there's just no way
that I can get behind this.
Joy is a cold-blooded killer.
In the last Jurassic Games,
you admitted to killing
Anthony Tucker's wife.
It seemed very, um...
Coincidental?
That's because I was lying.
I didn't kill Tucker's wife.
I don't even know what
she looked like.
I just said it to distract him,
get in his head.
See if he'd make a mistake.
I was acting.
How'd I do?
It was quite a performance.
Thank you.
Maybe that's why they chose me
to replace Mr. Cane.
Okay, I need to wrap this up.
I've got a million things to do.

(SYSTEM BEEPS)
Well, well, if it
isn't our shining star.
Hello, sir.
I just want to thank you so
much for this opportunity.
I'm incredibly grateful,
and I can't wait
to make you proud.
-I actually have a couple of--
-What an incredible
transformation
you've gone through.
Really amazing.
I mean, just look at you.
You used to be so evil,
psychotic.
(CHUCKLES)
Oh, makes me so proud
of the work
we're doing on this show.
Really does.
Thank you, sir.
-You know, this process--
-Joy,
I'd like to introduce you
to William, Amanda,
and Seth.
-They are the--
-Yeah.
It's only the OG freaking
game testers.
These are the rock stars that
tested out the early games.
Made sure they were hard enough
to kill people like you.
(CHUCKLES)
I'm so sorry, like the old you.
Shh.
I brought them in to help us
with our little issue.
And we greatly appreciate
the help, sir.
I'm sorry.
What's going on?
Nothing for you
to worry about, Joy.
Just a tiny little glitch
in the G.O.D. software.
Sage believes she'll have it
fixed by the end of the day.
-Right, Sage?
-Yes, sir.
We have spent a lot of money
to make sure your debut as host
goes off without a hitch.
Hell, Seth's fee alone
may put us out of business.
But the audience loves you.
We love you.
So, if you have any concerns,
feel free to reach out
to me directly.
Okay?
All right.
Let's get going.
I don't know what the hell
he's talking about,
but it's a lot more
than a little glitch.
I'd say we're kind of screwed,
potentially.
Echo!
What? He doesn't scare me.
Tell me why my games
are kind of screwed.
Uh...
It's okay.
We think someone
inserted a virus.
Strange things have been
popping up in the game zones.
I thought this system
was supposed
to be the most advanced
in the world.
Who could have done
something like this?
Someone on the inside?
No one on the inside.
A Caveman hacker, maybe?
Could just be God starting
to think for himself.
That's not funny.
JOY:
So, what's your plan?
Can't you just unplug it
or reboot it
or whatever?
Unfortunately,
we are locked out.
We're gonna have to access
the programming from inside.
Should be easy.
So, why do we need them?
We can't just
spawn inside the CPU.
We've purposely made it a bit
of a challenge to gain access.
Not challenging enough,
apparently.
They are coming
as a precaution.
I don't anticipate
any troubles.
G.O.D.:
Stand by for game insertion.
Game insertion
in 3, 2, 1.
Player spawn successful.
Don't fuck up my games.
(CHUCKLE)
()
She keeps calling it
"her game,"
like she's been here
since the first show.
I can hear you.
One word to the Manager
and I can have
any one of you fired.
I'm sorry.
What was that, Joy?
(MIMICS STATIC)
Oh, you're breaking up.
Come in.
ECHO: We're having
trouble hearing you.
Damn it!
Get comms back on now!
Uh...
I-- I can't.
-Everything's fine on our end.

Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
What?
We're broadcasting.
What are you talking about?
We're not scheduled to air
for months.
Hello again,
and welcome back
to this very special edition
of the Jurassic Games.
As you know, every year
we select ten
of the most dangerous criminals
and we match them up with
the most ferocious creatures
ever known to exist.
But this year's event
is unique.
You see, we've rounded up
five terrorists
from the organization
known as the Cavemen.
And we've prepared
a particular version
of the games just for them.
We've got all new competitions,
upgraded dinosaurs.
And an all-new host.
Ah, Joy.
Let's not get ahead
of ourselves.
You're gonna have to earn
that job.
You see, a game master
must have experience.
Who out there wants to see Joy
take my place?
(CHEERING, WHISTLING)
ADRIAN: (ON TV)
I say let's put her back
in the game zone.
After all, that is where you
really shine, isn't it?
Of course.
I'd love to show the world
what a real host can do.
Oh.
Ouch.
Well, the world will have
to wait
just a few more moments,
because stage one
is ready to begin.
We're clear.
Okay, Christ! Shut it down.
Is our system glitching?
And who the hell was that?
That was not Adrian Cane.
I don't know.
I-- I don't know.
But it's not letting me
shut it down
and I can't pull 'em out.
Shit.
-Yes?
-What the hell is going on?
MANAGER: (ON SCREEN)
It appears the game has started.
Okay. Stop it.
We can't stop it.
Well, you have to do something.
We are doing something.
We're letting it happen.
Real-time ratings are
already coming in.
This has incredible potential.
Sir, if I may,
what about our people?
Are they safe?
Cane just said something
about Cavemen terrorists.
Yes. It's very unfortunate
for them
and a PR problem for us,
to be sure.
Just do your jobs
the best you can.
And Joy, be sure to smile when
the camera comes your way.
Understood.
(CLICKS KEY)
Joy, what the hell is going on?
How can they just let the game
run by itself?
That is incredibly reckless.
And Sage a Caveman?
I was just at her daughter's
birthday party.
Something's not right.
I agree.
Something's not right.
I'm not in there.
All right.
We spawned in the southern
maintenance checkpoint.
It's a four-hour hike from here
to the unauthorized zone.
If we take this path,
we can avoid any predators.
That's no fun.
What's the point of
populating this place
with free-roaming predators
if we can't shoot 'em?
We're here to work.
Let's just focus on
getting to the UZ.
SETH:
Hey.
What's that?
Why is that here?
It's the speeder bike from
this year's first challenge.
Uh...
ADRIAN:
Welcome, contestants.
You are the lucky few

is being broadcast worldwide.
What?
G.O.D.: (ON COMMS)
You cannot be extracted
at this time.
It is advised that you continue
to play the game.
ADRIAN:
Welcome to stage one.
You, the world's most dangerous
terrorists, will compete
to the death in a race
against time
and each other.
But first, you'll need these.

As you know by now,
if you refuse to play,
or you stray out
of the game zone, kaboom.
(ADRIAN CHUCKLES)
And of course, if you die here,
you die for real.
Think of it
as your inevitable execution
for the heinous crimes
you've committed,
but in a more,
shall we say, entertaining way.
Okay.
This can't be happening!
Base, tell me you didn't engage
lethal injections.
G.O.D.: (ON COMMS)
It is advised that you continue

It is advised that you
continue to play the ga-a-me.

This just got a whole lot
more fun.
ADRIAN:
I like that attitude.
Just have fun with it.
And who knows?
You just might be
the last one standing
and earn a full pardon
and your freedom.
Okay, contestants, ready?

It's not about
winning a race.

and each other.
Okay, knock-off Adrian,
why is Tucker in the game?
Stage two, The Arena.
A gladiator-style battle
to the death.
We're guaranteed to have
a loser in this round.
Can he not hear me?
I have no idea.
I don't know what he is.
Stage three is
Capture the flag.
Our new twist on
the fan-favorite raptor maze,
where contestants
run for their lives
while trying to avoid
our enhanced raptor pack.
And stage four.
As always,
you know I'm not going
to tell you everything, am I?
So, let's get back to the race,
right after
this commercial break.
Can you put me in?
With host protocols?
Uh...
...yeah.
Yeah, I can.
But why do you
want to go in there?
JOY: Spawn me close
to the finish line.

What's going on?
Why is the game running?
ARTHUR:
I don't know.
This is very
unfortunate timing.
TUCKER: (ON COMMS)
This was supposed to be easy!
-What happens if I die in here?
-Wake him up!
No! No, it's gonna be fine.
If he dies in the game,
he'll wake up here.
(KEYBOARD CLATTERS)
(BEEPING)
(GRUNTS)
I'm locked out.
Tucker, don't die.
If you die, I won't be able
to get you back in.
You're on your own.
You've got one shot at this.
Dad, do you realize
what this means?
You've got to find Andrew.
Andrew wasn't with the group.
HALEY: (ON COMMS)
They're using him, Dad.
They're using him
to get to you.
Yeah, I know.
ARTHUR: (ON COMMS)
The plan is still the same.
Get to the core.
(GRUNTS)
(WHOOSHES)
Anthony Tucker, hi.
I'm Echo. Huge fan.
This is so cool!
Kick it!
It's a thing
I added to the game
to slow contestants down
randomly.
Give it a good kick.

SETH:
Okay.
That's pretty cool.
(BEEPS)
I'm too big.
I won't make it through.
How long do these
power-ups last?
-WILLIAM: 20 seconds or so.
-(GRUNTS)
I don't think she has
20 seconds!
(GRUNTING)
I'm going back.
Shit!
(GROANING)
Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hey, hey. Hey, hey.
-Hey, hey! Are you okay?
-Is she okay?
I don't know.
How should I know? Hey.
One of you boys
wanna give me a ride?

JOY:
Hello, Tucker.
It's nice to see you again.
(GRUNTING)
Oh.
Remember when I kicked your ass
in the last games?
I got a lot of questions
about how a little girl like me
could take on a big,
strong man like you.
(GRUNT)
(JOY CHUCKLES)
Well, found out later
it's because they "enhanced" me.
They made me stronger
because they wanted to see me
get to the end of the games.
(GRUNT)
(CHUCKLES)
It's pretty cool, isn't it?
(TUCKER GRUNTS)
We're better in here.

Damn it!
GARRETT:
You okay?
Yeah, idiot!
I love having my arms
ripped off by raptors!
Are you sure you don't want
to rest for a minute?
JOY:
Where's Tucker now?
Where's Adrian?
He's talking to Adrian.
Adrian?
No, apparently he's talking
to himself.
No, no. He's there.
I saw him.
You're telling me the game
can't see him?
Why?
I have no clue.
I think we're close to uh,
having a winner.
(BEEPS)
I think I remember you.
Cane?
That seems like that could've
been my name.
So, you were the one who put me
in the game, tried to kill me.
I'm not that person.
I am parts of him.
I want to help you.
(BEEPS)
(FIRE CRACKLING)
-(THUDS)
-(GRUNTS)
What's he doing?
Why is he acting like that?
He must be able to see
something that we can't see.
But he's acting like an idiot!
I see you're here
to destroy the games.
That's a good guess.
I've gained access
to the source code.
I've programmed a type of cloak
that makes me invisible
to the system.
I can make you one.
It's gonna take some time.
I don't have the time
to wait for your magic coat.
Then you die.
(WHOOSHES)
GAME ANNOUNCER:
First place, Echo.
Reward, Level Five Mech Suit
power-up.
Quickly.
Get back with the others.
Play the game.

I will find you.

Easy.
Whoa, whoa.
We do not need to fight.
SETH:
She needs help!
(GRUNTS)
She went unconscious
a while ago.
If she dies in here,
won't she just respawn?
Isn't that how this works?
Uh, uh, maybe.
Uh, base, status on Amanda.
GARRETT:
Ooh, hey, hey.
She's dead.
Sage, how is that possible?
What a tragedy.
We've lost one
of our contestants already.
Amanda, we hardly knew you.
Of course, it is inevitable.
We can only have one winner.
We'll be right back after these
commercial announcements.
WILLIAM: No.
You heard him, Sage.
She's dead.
No.
No.
That's not possible.
We're not connected
to the lethal injections!
Maybe you don't have to be.
This is bad.
What?
Don't you see?
The G.O.D. has found
another way to kill us.
G.O.D.?
Like God?
It's the Games
Operating Device.
It's basically God in here.
Uh, what if it...
theoretically, it found a way
to trap us here?
And keep our minds here.
If it could do that, it could
erase them completely.
(CHUCKLES)
That's it?
That's not remotely possible.
Is it?
No, it isn't.
TUCKER:
It would explain how I saw Cane.
What, Cane?
What?
The old host.
I've seen him.
He looks different.
He had a hood
and he was riding around
on a raptor,
but it was him.
Who are you?
You don't look like
Jurassic Games contestants.
SAGE:
We're not.
I'm Sage.
Technical director for the show
and we are here to fix a couple
of technical glitches.
Or at least we were, until we--
Until you got trapped in here
and had to play it for real.
It's not very fun, is it?
None of this makes any sense.
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Attention contestants.
Stage two
is about to begin.
Well, you all work
for the damn show.
You know what happens.
Like those collars.
Breaking news.
In a surprise
unannounced event,
the Jurassic Games are
broadcasting live on the air
with a special edition.
And already, one contestant
has passed away.
ADRIAN:
Who are these contestants?
They are vile criminals.
Co-conspirators
of a terrorist organization
hell-bent on preventing justice
from being served.
Of course, as always,
the government has generously
granted us permission
to pardon one.
The winner.
Will it be Tucker again?
Let's find out as Stage Two
starts, right after this.
Wait.
You'll have your moment.
The longer we wait, the more of
a chance he has to do whatever
he's planning on doing in there.
I agree. He needs
a distraction to weaken him.
But it's not you.
Not yet.
We've run the numbers.
There's an 84% increase
if we wait,
versus 63% if we
go back in now.
This is getting ridiculous.
Can't you see he's trying
to sabotage the game?
-He needs to die.
-MANAGER: Of course.
But if he dies now,
we'll lose too many viewers.
Trust me,
you'll get your chance.
Fine. We'll do it your way.
Thank you
for your understanding.
I don't think you'll
be disappointed.
JOY:
Hey, where are you going?
Can't a guy take a leak?
-Hurry.
-GARRETT: All righty.
Jesus.
()
ADRIAN:
Welcome, contestants,
to Stage Two.
(FIRE CRACKLING)
I like to call this game
Save The Princess.
First, I'll need you to
divide yourselves
into two groups of three.
In case you haven't noticed,
there's five of us.
ADRIAN:
Ah, yes, for now.
Please, you have 20 seconds.
ECHO:
Oh.
Oh, wow. Wow.
I was gonna partner with Tucker
anyway, so screw you.
Assholes.
Echo, what is--
What is Save the Princess?
I don't know what this game is.
It's because it doesn't exist.
What?
I wrote it to be more of
a free-for-all, battle royale
type thing.
So, we don't have an advantage.
We do.
We work together.
We play smart. Okay?
We're all on the same team.
We are, right, Tucker?
ADRIAN:
Unfortunately, you are not
on the same team.
Now, a princess will be chosen
at random from each group.
(SNAPS FINGERS)
(CHIMES)
Sage!
Sage!
-Sa--
-SAGE: I'm all right.
-WILLIAM: Sage!
-It's all right!
I can't get out though.
Who's in the other one?
()
Oh, shit.
Dad!
They're forcing me to play.
I know.
I'll get you down!
Just hold on.
What's the game, asshole?
ADRIAN:
I thought you'd never ask.
The goal is simple.
Rescue your princess first.
If you do, they will live.
The other, well,
the other will not be so lucky.
Unfortunately,
this game will end
just like it started.
With five players
or maybe less.
Anyway, you have one minute
to choose your power-ups.
All external power-ups you may
have collected will be void
during this game.
We're sorry about that.
Not really.
Good luck.
(CHIMES)
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Choose your dinosaur.
Dad!
I don't wanna die.
()
Shit!
William.
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Choose your dinosaur.
Seth.
Just power up
and move outta the way.
Let Tucker save Andrew.
What? Hell no. Are you crazy?
We're not gonna just
leave you here to die.
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Choose your dinosaur.
Look, Seth, we need her
to get outta here alive.
(GROWLS, GRUNTS)
GAME ANNOUNCER:
William has chosen
Tyrannosaurus rex.
(GROWLS)
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Choose your dinosaur.
Sorry, kid.
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Seth has chosen Brontosaurus.
(NECK CRACKS)
Sage, what do I do?
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Choose your dinosaur.
There's no other way.
We got ourselves
into this, Echo.
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Choose your dinosaur.
I can't be responsible
for that boy's death.
Save him.
Mm-mm.
Mm-mm.
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Choose your dinosaur.
It's okay.
No, I can't do that!
Shut up and do it, okay?
We're running out of time.
Just hurry.
TUCKER:
Come here.
Listen, I'll take the T-rex.
You take the big one,
run defense. Okay?
No, that's not the strategy.
You got a better plan, nerd?
Yeah, I do!
The Pterosaur can get to
the cage a lot easier.
Plus, it's faster
than the Bronto.
All we have to do is get Andrew
out of the cage.
And we'll save him.
That's a pussy dinosaur!
You'll never make it in time!
Oh, yeah?
Well, I'm not taking
the Pterosaur.
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Echo has chosen
Tyrannosaurus Rex.
(ROARS)
(SHOUTS)
ADRIAN:
Ten seconds left
to make your choice.
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Choose your dinosaur.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6,
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Tucker has chosen Pteranodon.
What the? Shit.
Ah, damn it!
Use your wings
to propel forward.
Get a running start.
ADRIAN:
Excellent.
Now the battle will begin
in 3, 2, 1, go!
(ROARS)
()
(GRUNTS)
Wait! Stop!
We're all gonna die
if we don't play!
There has to be some other way!
Echo!
Survive!
You have to survive!

Don't flap so much.
Get your balance first
and let the wind keep you up.
Get your fat ass
out of the way.
Stay still!

ANDREW:
Dad!
There's a latch here.
Cool. Give me a sec.
This thing's got shit for hands.
(GRUNTS)
-(THUDS)

Ah! My eye!
No!

Tucker, the power-up.
Yeah, I see it.
Get out of the way!
Move!
No! No!
(ROARS)
ADRIAN
How about that,
ladies and gentlemen?
(LAUGHS)
This is why we watch the games.
(COUGHS)
ADRIAN:
Ladies and gentlemen,
we have a winner.
But unfortunately,
we also have a loser.
Sage, please step forward.
(DOOR SQUEAKS)
Wait.
Why is he still a dinosaur?
ADRIAN:
Because this princess
was not saved.
And of course,
she must be executed.
William, dinner is served.
No, no, no!
I won't!
(GROWLS)
No! William, no!
William, no!
No.
(YELLS)
What?
Wait, no.
ADRIAN: I am
so very sorry, William.
But direct attacks on the host,
they are strictly
against the rules.
And we can't have anyone
breaking the rules.
No. No,
take me instead!
Take me instead.
ADRIAN:
Ho-ho!
(SOBS)
()
(THUDS)
(TAKING DEEP BREATHS)
ADRIAN:
Don't worry.
The Jurassic Games are
all about second chances.
Tucker, as the MVP of the match,
you will be rewarded
with this special power-up.
(CHIMES)
What is it?
ADRIAN:
It's your second chance.
It's an extra life.
It's a one-up.
Use it to resurrect yourself
or one
of your fellow contestants
anytime during the rest
of the game.
Revive him.
Come on, do it! Use it!
ADRIAN:
Oh, no, no, no, no.
I am deeply sorry,
but I said for the rest
of the game.
Rest up, contestants.
Stage three is less than
one hour from starting.
He sacrificed himself...
...for me.
(SOBS, SNIFFLES)
This is insanity.
We're not supposed to be here!
We're not killers!
We can't play this game
for real!
We're gonna die!
We're gonna die,
because of you
-and your shit kid!
-No, Seth. No!
-It's not him!
-I'm gonna kill you!
It's not him!
It's this damned game!
Get it together!
It's us against the game!
That's it!
That's it.
We can beat this.
No, we can't.
Echo.
There are still two games left.
If one of us survives,
what are we gonna do?
Stroll back into the UZ,
reboot the system?
Save the Jurassic Games?
It's evil!
What the hell?
People have been saying that
since the games started.
People have been dying
since the games started.
You didn't care, then you
got stuck here yourselves.
()
I need to get to the core.
Can you help me?
What are you gonna do?
Throw a rock at it?
This isn't just a rock.
It's an Asteroid.
A what?
I didn't name it.
But it's coated with a virus
that can take the games down
forever.
You know, just
because you're whispering
doesn't mean
they can't hear you.
Right.
That's right.
That's right!
I want you to hear me!
This is it!
It's over!
This is the end
of the Jurassic Games!
So, come take it from me, Joy!
Come and get it!
Stop me!
That's it. I'm going in.
No. Ratings have
never been higher.
He's gonna destroy the games.
I'm the host.
Let me go in and save it.
We have calculated the odds.
And have determined it's worth
the risk to keep going.
This is about ratings,
nothing more.
Plus, Andrew is now
in the game.
Why would you bring
Tucker's son here?
It just motivates him
to be more dangerous.
MANAGER: (ON SCREEN)
We are still in control.
Now, if you please,
I'd like you to deal with
members of the press
that are waiting
for a response from us.
NEWS REPORTER 1:
So, Joy,
are you aware that information
from inside the games
has been leaked?
We are being told
that the contestants
are not actually terrorists,
but employees
of the game itself.
What's your response?
Damn it.
Garrett.
Are you confirming the source
of the leaked information?
Oh, no.
He's a disgruntled employee
who was let go
due to poor job performance.
You know how people can get.
They'll say anything
for attention.
So, there's no truth
in what he's claiming?
Not an ounce.
The contestants are exactly
who we claim.
Members of the Cavemen
responsible for the attacks
on the last games.
Murderers.
Except Anthony Tucker,
of course.
It's exciting to see him
go for two wins in a row,
isn't it?
And what about the rumors
that you've
lost control of the show?
And how is Adrian Cane
still hosting?
Come on, it's not really him.
We can make realistic, well,
mostly realistic dinosaurs.
Don't you think we can
conjure up a dead host?
We're doing it
to pass the torch,
so to speak.
Besides, this is a show,
just like it always has been.
Don't you think we know
what we're doing?
And can you deny that
the ratings are the best
they've ever been?
I didn't think so.
Here's what I want you
to tell your viewers.
If they think
this Jurassic Games
has been exciting,
the best is yet to come.
I'm about to steal the show.
NEWS REPORTER 3:
But is the AI--
(OVERLAPPING SPEECH)
We're out of time.
Thank you.

(GRASS RUSTLES)
(BEEPING)
Not yet, boy.
It's almost done.
ECHO:
What have we done?
Our game killed them.
I killed them.
I almost killed you.
No.
It's not your fault.
We need you to be you in here
if we have any chance
of surviving this.
()
How are you holding up?
Why am I here?
The game's trying to use you
to get to me.
I'm sorry.
Maybe it thinks
I'll make some stupid mistake
because you're here.
You're not gonna take
any responsibility for this,
are you?
You're the reason I'm in here.
Your stupid mistakes
led to all of this.
I came back here when
I found out they took you.
I came to help.
And what?
You're gonna blow up the games?
Get your revenge?
I guess you'd like me
to thank you for saving me
back there, but let's be honest,
we're not gonna survive this.
-Andrew.
-It's a circus out there.
The people wanna see us
all dead.
You really think everything's
gonna be okay?
(SETH CHUCKLES)
God, you're a whiny bitch,
aren't you?
Seth.
What?
20 minutes ago,
he was all,
"Daddy, daddy, save me."
And now look at you.
You know who would be useful
right about now?
William,
Amanda.
Not some snot-nosed little punk.
That's enough.
SAGE:
Okay, guys.
Save your energy.
Echo, what do we know
about the next games?
It's supposed to be raptors.
-Shit.
-Yeah.
It should be raptors.
No power-up restrictions
unless they change that again.
What about the power-up
inventory?
ECHO:
A med-kit.
Four weapons upgrades.
Level five mech suit,
but I'm saving that one.
And a couple
of dino transformations,
a rex, a raptor,
a stego, and a compy.
Wow.
Hoarding all those power-ups
till now?
Thought we might need them
if we ever make it to the UZ.
I'll take one of the
weapons upgrades.
How does it work?
It's a temporary boost
for your weapon.
You need a weapon first.
Uh, if the next game
is a raptor maze,
there should be guns
and stuff scattered
around the map.
Here, everyone, take one.
(CHIMES)
No, I'm not using that.
Give it to somebody else.
What?
I'm like my dad in one way.
Shitty at video games.
You have to defend yourself
out there.
ANDREW:
I'm serious.
I'd end up shooting
one of you guys.
Wow, he really is useless.
Guns aren't everything.
He could be useful.
You can be useful, right?
Don't forget, everybody.
Tucker has another power-up.
He has an extra life.
Look, just try
and not get separated, okay?
Just pay attention,
follow the rules.
It'll be okay.
And remember, it's-- it's us
against the game now.
It's humans
against a stupid machine.
No one else is gonna die.
Right?
GAME ANNOUNCER:
Attention, contestants.
Stage three is about to begin.
()
GAME ANNOUNCER: The
players have entered the maze.
()
ADRIAN: Welcome,
contestants, to stage three.
It's our special version
of Capture the Flag.
The rules are simple.
At the other side
of the map is a flag.
Your job is to go get it
and bring it right back
to this spot
while avoiding
the hungry raptors
that will be hunting you.
Don't worry, there are weapons
spread out across the map
that will help make things
a little more even.
Capture the Flag in three...
I think we should split up
and gather all the weapons.
No, stay together.
ADRIAN:
Two...
-Damn.
-ADRIAN: One!
Go get it!
(RAPTORS GROWL)
GAME ANNOUNCER: The
raptors have entered the maze.
Hey.
We're dead without guns in here.
-I know that.
-We can't just stand here.
We've gotta get to the flag.
So then we go to the flag.
Quietly.
Together, yeah?
Echo, you wrote this map.
Where are the weapons located?
They should be
pretty easy to find.
It'd be a very short game
otherwise.
No shit, kid.
Just look out for the alpha.
ANDREW:
The what?
The alpha raptor.
He's kinda like the king.
Aren't regular raptors enough?
It was a cool idea
when I thought of it.
Let's go.

Nine raptors remaining.
Echo, where are the weapons?
I don't know.
We should've found some by now.
I have an idea.
If you can't beat 'em,
join 'em, right?
What in the hell is she doing?
She's buying us some time.

(GROWLS)
Okay.
That's right, we're friends.
Right?
Not the smartest, are you?

Seth has captured the flag.
Eight raptors remaining.
Dad, look.
Oh, hell yeah.

BAR PATRONS: Raptors, raptors,

Smaller than I thought it'd be.
Remember, you can
upgrade it later.
Let's go.
Got it!

Wait!
No, no, no, wait!
That's Echo, you idiot!

What?
I'm okay. I'm okay.

That's a lot of digital blood.
Whoa, whoa, hey, hey, I got you.
I got you. I got you.
Okay. Okay. It's okay.
I got you.

Andrew has captured the flag.
They're coming
and there's a whole lot of 'em.
They're only after the flag.
Here, give it to me.
I'll take it.
No, I got this.

he hadn't saved me.
I'm sorry.
I can't.
What?
Why not?
Because he's saving it.
Saving it for himself.
I'm saving it for you.
Already a meme and
already trending number one.
Hashtag,
"I'm saving it for you."
Now, if you head on over
to our online store,
you can get
the "I'm saving it for you"
limited edition gear.
It was a touching moment.
So, what's next?
Well, stay tuned
for the final stage
and the big reveal
of this year's winner
right after this.
Um, something's wrong.
Yeah, no kidding.
No, I'm-- I'm serious.
I-- I can't find them.
JOY: What do you
mean you can't find them?
JEFF:
I mean, they're gone.
I-- I-- There's no
trace of them anywhere.
They're not making an
impression on the code.
It's like they were deleted
from the game.
Adrian?
I-- I don't understand.
How are you in here right now?
I don't have time to explain.
We need to hurry.
I have you all hidden
from the game,
but it's just temporary.
How?
I can access the code
undetected.
Because I'm a part of it.
We are running out of time.
He's taking us to
the unauthorized zone.
JOY:
Vitals?
They're stable.
Well, can you wake 'em up?
No.
There's no time.
Follow me.
JEFF:
Hey, where are you going?
To complain to management.
Is it snowing?
JOY:
Hey! Open the door!
-I know you're in there.
-(BANGS DOOR)
(DOOR OPENS)
Oh, no.
MANAGER:
Joy.
Who are you?
I'm the G.O.D.
JOY:
You killed him?
No, not directly.
Sudden cardiac arrest.
Bad timing for him.
Good timing for me.
How long has he been--
MANAGER:
Since I started the broadcast.
Tell me what you saw
when you were in the game.
I saw Adrian or his ghost
or something.
He's in the game somehow.
Interesting.
Apparently, he's been able
to hide from me,
and now he has hidden
the other players.
I don't understand.
How is he in there?
He's dead.
It was my mistake.
I attempted to preserve his mind
in my long-term memory
after the death
of his physical body.
But that's not how it works.
The games are played
inside our minds
as we're unconscious, right?
The system works by storing
the contestant's consciousness
in my temporary memory.
JOY:
So, while we're in the game,
our bodies are just brain-dead?
Yes.
And the lethal injections?
MANAGER: It was never the
lethal injections that caused
the contestants' deaths.
I simply did not
transfer back their minds,
and then I deleted the data
from my cache.
But you didn't delete Adrian?
No. I tried to study him,
but my attempt was unsuccessful.
I did not have enough
storage capacity.
I tried to reconstruct his mind
and appearance.
I got as close as I could,
but recreating a full human
consciousness was more difficult
than I expected.
When I tried to delete
what was left of him,
he was already gone.
JOY:
But he's not gone.
He's sided with Tucker
and he's trying
to take you down.
MANAGER:
Yes. I scanned the virus.
Tucker's Asteroid is
certainly a threat.
I've run the simulation
many times.
A race to destroy the games
will have more viewers
than our usual outcome.
Therefore, I am powerless
to stop it.
But I'm not.
MANAGER:
The audience agrees.
And they are responding well
to your attempts
to save the game.
Then let me save it.
I will be unable to help
beyond host protocols.
Host protocols will be enough.
Put me in.
(WIND HOWLING)
()
(WIND HOWLING)
This is as far as I can go.
Why?
I don't know.
I've tried many times,
but something's kept me out.
It's our firewall,
built to keep viruses
and broken code
out of our core system.
I love the irony,
considering the surroundings.
It does make me curious
about your Asteroid.
How will that get
beyond the firewall?
We can get it
past the firewall.
We can get you past, too.
No.
She's coming.
You must make it to the core
inside the cave.
Once we separate, I won't be
able to keep you hidden.
I can stop her.
You'll have to take
the Asteroid from here.
ADRIAN:
No.
She's too powerful.
Your best bet is to
make it to the core
before she catches up to you.
Why are you helping us?
The games must be destroyed.
It has no regard
for human life.
It's become way too powerful.
Promise me
you will destroy it.
But you'll die, too.
I understand.
But I was never alive
to begin with.
Adrian was never evil
in his mind.
He truly believed the games
were justified,
that killers should be
brought to justice.
He never...
I never wanted
innocent people to die.
Contact. We got 'em.
Ladies and gentlemen,
what a turn of events.
It appears that
the remaining contestants
are bypassing stage four,
and are trying to destroy
the core of the games itself.
Ratings are through the roof.
I've never seen 'em this high.
It's like they meant to do this.
Now seems like the
perfect time to introduce
the newest host
of the Jurassic Games.
Ladies and gentlemen,
she's earned her shot.
Joy LaFort!

Get out of my game!

(GRUNTING)
You're outmatched.
Joy, stop.
You really need to think about
what you're doing right now.
What I'm doing?
What are you doing?
You can't destroy the games,
they're mine now.
You are literally insane
if you think you're in control.
The AI's too powerful.
It's killing innocent people.
JOY: Guilty and innocent
never mattered before.
You know what these games
have always been.
Yeah, I do.
And that's exactly why they
need to be shut down for good.
No.
It just needs a few
restrictions, that's all.
A new set of prompts.
(EXPLOSION, THUD)
()
I thought it'd be
a little harder than that.
JOY:
What the hell?
MANAGER:
I'm sorry, Joy.
I had to remove you.
The audience wants to see
the contestants reach the end.
Even if it destroys you?
Even if.
I'll kill him.
I'll kill him right now.
No!
You will not!
TUCKER:
Is this the core?
I need to disable it.
How?
ECHO: We were just gonna
log in to the main console
and reboot it from there,
but that's before everything
went south.
Yeah.
Rebooting it won't be enough.
We have this.
This will destroy it
completely.
What happens to us
when you do that?
Will we wake up
outside the game?
Well, Tucker might,
because his body's remote,
but the rest of us,
I don't know.
That's not gonna work for me.
ECHO:
We have to destroy it.
If we don't, the others
would have died for nothing.
I need to get to the terminal
before you activate the virus.
()
You okay?
No, I'm not.
Just take a breath.
We'll stand here for a second.
(CHUCKLES)
It's cr--
kinda crazy...
if you think about it.
I almost understand her.
Joy.
Are you trying to
make me feel better?
I don't know.
When they put me in the games
the first time,
uh,
I was pretty lost.
I wasn't there for your mom.
And I couldn't save her.
And uh,
and I failed you, too.
(SOBS)
But here I was a superhero.
Everything fell apart on me
out there.
I couldn't even look
at myself in the mirror.
But here I was killing bad guys
and fighting dinosaurs.
But you told us you hated
every minute of it.
It made you hate yourself.
I lied.
I missed it.
And I hated that I missed it.
Somehow uh, surviving in here,
it was easier
than living out there.
(SNIFFLES)
Even now, I feel... stronger.
And like I matter.
And that's worth
sacrificing us for?
We need you.
This game doesn't need you.
Why can't you see that?
I see it now.
(SNIFFLES)
I won't let you down again.
I'm gonna get us
out of here.
()
Bring him back, Dad.
What the hell is happening?
FAN 2:
I don't know.
They're trying to ruin
the games.
Well, they can't do that.
Save the games!
Save the games!
Save the games!
Save the games!
Save the games!
- Save the games!
-JOY: Are you seeing this?
People don't want to see
the show destroyed.
MANAGER:
Yes. I predicted this reaction.
They want tension
and excitement
all the way to the end.
But ultimately, they want
the bad guys to lose
and the good guys to win.
Never thought
I'd be a good guy.
A matter of perspective.
But the audience is ready.
For what?
For their hero
to save the day.
(BEEPING)
TUCKER:
Where we at?
I just disabled
the defense systems.
Well, that seemed a little
too easy, didn't it?
I know.
It's like the man upstairs
doesn't care that
we're about to blow him up.
Get us out of here.
G.O.D.:
Mind storage stable.
SAGE:
No!
No!
What is it?
Our bodies are alive
on the outside,
but our minds have
been stored
in memory, in the game.
The AI found a way
to separate us.
I thought you said that
wasn't possible.
JOY:
Yes.
That's the way
it's always been.
Our minds cut and pasted
back and forth.
G.O.D.:
Transfer denied.
I can't--
I can't transfer us back.
Right.
And when I finally kill
all of you,
you'll be gone forever,
while the games will keep going,
like they always have.
SAGE:
What?
(CHIMES)
Oh, shit.
(GROWL, ROAR)
Ugh!
(BREATHS HEAVILY)

Here.
Thanks, kid.

I can't hold her long!
Echo, what power-ups
have you got?
Just the Level Five Mech Suit,
but I was so excited
to use that.
-Just give it to me.
-If you need me to go in and...
Oh, hell yes!
What took you so long?
(GRUNTS)
Whoo!
Are you close?

Not really.
Find a place to hide.

Please give me a med kit.

She's gonna get us home.
Echo's gonna get us home, okay?
Hang in there.
No.
Echo's gone.
The One-Up.
-Yeah.
-Get it ready.
TUCKER:
How do I use it?
Please help me.
Please help me.
You have to let him die first.
(SOBS)
Give it to me.
Here.
I know what you went
through for us.
It's gonna be all right.
I love you.
No, no. What are you--
(TUCKER SOBS)
(SYSTEM BEEPING)
Put me back in,
I need another minute.
MANAGER:
I can't.
Forget about
your stupid ratings.
MANAGER:
No. It's not that.
The girl locked me out.
How is that possible?
She's just a kid.
And I'm just a machine.
Her deterrents are
very effective.
It will take me
56 seconds to circumvent them
and then I will eliminate
the contestants.
Has Andrew's brave sacrifice
saved them all?
How will Tucker cope
with the loss of his son?
And will the remaining
contestants
-make it to the core of--
-Go to hell.

Ah, just kidding, folks.
Stay tuned.

What just happened there?
(OVERLAPPING SPEECH)
-Oh, man! What?
-What's going on?
(SOBS)
I'm so sorry.
What a tragic twist of fate.
Andrew Tucker,
unable to be saved
by his loving father,
bringing this year's exciting
Jurassic Games to a close.
Justice has been served.
Until next time, from all of us
here at the Jurassic Games,
-I'm your host--
-JEFF: Joy!
Jo--
What, Jeff?
We're not even on the air.
Come on, asshole.
Talk to me.
Where are you?
I said, where are you?!
It's over, Joy.
You lost.
And you know something?
You will answer for the death
of Andrew Tucker.
Oh.
(CHUCKLES)
You still work for me.
What are you gonna do, Sage?
Convict me of murder?
Put me in the Jurassic Games?
What about all the people
you killed?
(GRUNTS)
(PANTS)
(SPITS)
All of us are guilty
of murder.
And the world sees us
as the good guys.

HALEY: Hey.
(SOBS)
It's okay.
I'm so sorry.
Your son's death allowed
the mission to succeed.
My son had nothing to do
with your damn mission.
Nothing.
You Cavemen,
you're all the same.
Just like the assholes
behind the games.
I'm not with the Cavemen.
They all died
in the previous games.
Who are you?
I'm the man who wrote
the first AI for the show.
Why'd you lie to me?
'Cause I didn't think
you'd help me
if I told you the truth.
After the disaster of
the last games,
I prompted the AI
to completely rebuild itself,
which is exactly
what it was doing.
Out of my desperation,
I removed
all of the restrictions
and it became way too powerful.
All it cared about was ratings.
It quit differentiating
between convicted killers
who were sentenced to death
and you know, everybody else.
I went to management.
I tried to warn 'em.
And they just pushed me out.
Me!
Can you believe it?
I had been there from
the very beginning!
It's why I--
It's why I created
the Asteroid.
Its purpose is not just
death and destruction.
It's also a new beginning.
G.O.D.:
Games Operational Device online.
Oh my God.
I had rewritten the code to
make it less dangerous.
I could sell it back
to the company
and they would give me
my old job back.
Your old job back?
Come here!
Look at me!
HALEY:
Dad, stop. Stop.
ARTHUR:
No.
(PHONE VIBRATES)
TUCKER:
Tell me something.
Did you have anything to do
with Andrew being taken?
ARTHUR:
No!
Don't lie to me!
No, I promise!
-I didn't.
-Dad.
Dad.
(ARTHUR GRUNTS)
Andrew?
I don't believe it.
I believe it.
It wanted to keep him alive.
Dad, come on. Let's go.
Probably because the audience
wanted to keep him alive.
That's all it's ever cared
about was the audience!
HALEY:
Come on, Dad.
Andrew?
Yeah.
I made you.
